WHAT SAY YOU ALL 1 , .
10 THE OPPOSITION PEESS IN THE STATE
OF PENNSYLVANIA.
It is morally certain that, with a half dozen
or wore opposition tickets in the field against
him, Buchanan will be elected. On the other
hand, it is almost as sure, that if a union of
the opposition elements is effected, he can be
defeated. Many plans liavc been suggested,
and various efforts made to concentrate the
forces upon one candidate, but all to no pur
pose. There is a way in which it can be tkn,
though it would undoubtedly bo at variance
with all precedent, and might not be relished
by the political jugglers who aro the cause of
the present trouble. Our plan is, that all the
editors opposed to the Buchanan ticket meet
at Ilarrisburg at an early day, say the 1st of
August, and by ballot decide which of the can
didates they will support, pledging themselves
to the ouo who shall receive a majority of all
the votes cast. By doing this, all jarring and
wrangling, would cease amongst those who
now, if they properly understood each other,
coincide in opinion. If such a step were ta
ken in Pennsylvania, it would doubtlessly be
followed by other States, and a complete union
soon brought about. "What say our brethren
throughout the State to this suggestion ?
"UNITED, WE STAND," &o.
"When applied to political parties, this maxim
is as truthful as it waz in its original connec
tion. In battle, the primary object of the ci
der Napoleon was to cut up the enemy's army
into as many divisions as possible, knowing
that, liko twigs, taken singly, they could be
easily broken, but when combined they were
strong an.l powerful, and, as at Waterloo, would
end disastrously to him. So it is with the op
ponents of tho Democracy : subdivided into
two, threo or more straggling parties, each
one casting its votes for a different candidate,
their efforts will be 'fruitless ; but combine
them, and it is our deliberately formed opin
ion that James Buchanan will bo defeated. As
remarked last week, we believe the election
of Mr. Buchanan, standing as he does upon
the Cincinnati Platform, by which he says he
will square his conduct, neither adding or la
king from it a plank, would be a calamity to
our country which every patriot should endea
vor to avert ; and for this reason, we are the
more anxious that a union of the opposition
thould be speedily effected, so that he may be
successfully resisted. This feeling is not lim
ited to a few, but extends to the press all over
the State, with the exception of "a journal here
and there that displays more reckless impru
dence than good sense. This almost univer
sal feeling in favor of eflectirfg a union, raises
tho hope that at an early day all the opposition
candidates but one will be cither withdrawn,
or soma arrangement entered into by which
the entire vole will bo concentrated on a sin
gle candidate. Should this be accomplheJ,
discomfiture and defeat will be the lot of the
Locofoco candidates.
VTe su) join a few paragraphs from different
journals, to show the spirit of the press on this
subject, which may be taken as a fair sample
of the opinion of nearly every paper in Penn
sylvania, oppoeed to Buchanan.
The Berks Co. Press, a strong and influential
Fillmore j.-aper says :
"Our preference, it is tree, tends towards
the nomiuces of the Philadelphia Convention
of February last but, for the sake of restoring
peace to the country, at home and abroad; for
tho sake of hurling from power the viol itors
of the laws and the constitution for the sake
of crushing and blotting out of existence a par
ty kept together by the "cohesive- power of
puniic piuiKicr," we are lor the concentration
of the American forces upon a common and
fraternal basis. Let us have it let ua have
an arrangement by which success can be at
tained. H'e, for one, are willing: to stand by
it fight by it and, if needs be, die by it!"
The Lexcislown Gazette speaks thus:
' "As Pennsylvania will, in a great measure,
be the battle ground for the Presidency, the
inquiry naturally arises whether it is worth
while to conduct a political campaign with two
organizations the American and Kcpublican
and thus ensure the triumph of Buchanan,
for that such would be the result we have not
a particle of doubt 1 Our preference has been
and still is for Mr. Fillmore, but we are not so
much wedded to Mr. Fillmore as to make him
the instrument for aiding Buchanan & Co's
election. Had Mr. Buchanan placed himself
upon the proud position that every statesman
ought to occupy, the case might hava been
different, and we should have been content to
lie neutral ; but his declaration that the ultra
slavish and filibustering Cincinnati platform
is henceforth to be James Buchanan's rule of
action instead of James Buchanan's own opin
ions of right and wrong, makes it the duty of
every good citizen to devise ways and means
to defeat him one of which means will be to
make choice of the least of two evils that may
be presented."
.TneCrare Democrat, a Fillmore' paper, in
speaking of the Kcpublican Convention, adds:
However, we will soe what we will see !
Mr. Buchanan mst be defeated, and if it can
not be done without a union, let us, for the
ta&e f the reat principles for which we con
tend, and in order to restore the government
to its pristine purity, cO'ect that union.
The Ilarrisburg Telegraph, Gov. Pollock's
organ,. after contrasting tho two platforms,
makes the following remarks : r
"Between two such platforms the reflecting
portions of the people cannot long hesitate.
It cannot be possible that the opposition for
ces with victory within their grasp, will suf
fer ' themselves to be distracted and divided.
We believe that before the day of the last
stern conflict, but one banner will be floating
over the embattled host, and then we shall
hope that even our glorious old Common
wealth, so long the votary of a false faith, wUl
redeemed from error, and the shout of vic
tory ring forth from every valley and moun
tain-top, echoing in thunder tones from the
waters of the Delaware to the western base of
the Allegheuies."
We could give plenty more extracts of a
similar import, but these will suffice to show
the general feeling relative to a union. With
such a spirit pervading the press, the prospect
for effecting it is good.
Cor.. Bextox and the Presidency.- The
Washington Union, the organ of Democracy,
is out against "Old Bullion." The Union ex
plains the mistcry of the old man's support of
Buchanan. Hear the oracle of Democracy on
Benton :
We think the nomination of Col. Fremont
furnishes an "explanation" which relieves
Col. Benton's courso of all "mystery." That
he is oppo?ed to the electiou of his own son
in-law will be credited by no one ; that he
was cognizant of the scheme which has resul
ted hi his son in-law's nomination wilMiardly
be questioned. If he can draw off from the
Democratic electoral ticket, and thereby
give the Fillmore electoral ticket a plurality,
he will increase the chances of the election of
his son in-law in the House of Representatives.
If Colonel Benton was honestly for Mr. Bu
chanan, (which ho cannot be without stultify
ing himself,) ho would decline to run for Gov
ernor, and have the Benton elector.il ticket
withdrawn. His support of Mr. Buchanan,
however, is insincere. He is -working for' tfie
election of Col. Fremont, wlrich would enable
OldBullion-to bo 'the power behind the throne-
greater than the throne.'
That is what the Washington Union, the
Pierce organ, says of Benton.
The last invented story of our Democratic
friends is the silly report that Col. John C.
Fremont is a Catholic. That party must, in
deed, be desperate to resort to such stories to
deceive the people and prop up its falling for
tunes. The Tribune says, Col. Fremont was
baptized, reared and confirmed in the Protes
tant Episcopal church, to which he has ever
adhered. His father was a Huguenot, which
of itself would go far to disprove the charge
made against the son. There is another fact
that should not bo forgotten, which is, that
the Philadelphia Convention is not the only
one that nominated him for tho TV; lener
Tho Northern American Convention which as
sembled at New York also selected him as
their candidate. He, therefore, is before the
people not only as a Republican, but as an
American candidate.
The Union State Ticket Endorsed. The
Kcpublican Stato Convention which met at
Philadelphia on the 17th, endorsed the Union
State Ticket. Mr. McCalmont offered the
following resolution, which was unanimously
adopted :
"ficsolccd, That this Convention, having
confidence in the Kcpublican principles, hon
esty and integrity of the following gentlemen,
recommend them to the voters of Pennsylva
nia for the oflices mentioned, viz : Canal Com
missioner, Thomas E. Cochran; Surveyor
General, Bartholomew Laporte ; Auditor Gen
eral, Darwin Phelps."
A Texas paper says, it has become quite a
common sight to see camels and dromedaries
marching through the streets. The camels are
now employed in carrying government freight
from Powder Horn to the depot. They cairy
the enormous weight of 1,COO pounds, and
with tho greatest ease. The sight of them
stampedes all the horses and mules that come
in sight of them. They arc certainly not hand
some creatures. A horse, in a brisk trot, can
scarcely keep up with the camels when in a
walk. They apparently go slow, with their
long-measured tread, but in reality they arc
moving rapidly.
The Vote of Pennsylvania The Pitts
burg Gazette earnestly recommends the union
of all the opponents of Buchanan iri the Pres
idential election upon a single ticket. The
same policy is advocated generally by the op
position press of the State, whether for or a-
gainst Mr- r lHmorc, and from tho manner in
which it is urged, we do not doubt that an ef
fort wili be made to carry it into effect.
John Brown Jr., was tried and convicted at
the last term of the Indiana count' Court for
receiving a stolen horse, knowing him to be
such, and on Monday of last week was sen
tenced by his Honor, Judge Burlington, to pay
a fine of 100 to the Commonwealth, the costs
of prosecution, and undergo solitary confine
ment in the Western Penitentiary for 3 years.

THE POLITICAL SKY IS CLEARING UP.
The programmes of the different parties are
nearly completed ; and people can now calm
ly and judiciously select their candidates ac
cording to their principles. AVe sty principles
for it would be unworthy of any American pa
triot to cast his vote for any man for the high
office of President, on account of personal
friendship or partiality, unless he believed
that his political principles would promote
the best interests of his country. To friends,
to kiudred, to neighbors, wc may yield much.
We may surrender personal interests and,
even personal consistency, but we dare not
sacrifice our country.
Hitherto, the question has stood between
Mr. Fillmoro and the nominee of the Loco
Foco party. We could never for a moment
think of supporting the nominee of the pres
ent false democratic party, with its principles
ten-fold worso than ever before, whoever
might be his opponent. This was our deter
mination before the nomination was made.
Nor has the nomination (although of one of
our respectable neighbors), changed ortr pur
pose. The nomination was accompanied by a
platform the most atrocious ever invented by
human depravity. A platform whose planks
are Slavery, Fillibusteriug, and Piracy ; bound
togefher with the cords and shackles of hu
man bondage, and cemented with the blood of
the murdered freemen of Kansas.
On that platform, we grieve to say, Mr. Bu
chanan has placed himself, with nimble alac
rity. Lest it might be supposed that he might
shun the more loathsome parts of it, ho lias
distinctly announced that he had stretched
himself so as to cover every inch of it. That
ho hugged the whole of it to his heart. Of
course, this renders his support impossible to
all conservative men to all men who love
Freedom, and hate national robbery.
Mr. Fillmore was nominated, not by the
whole American party, but by the Southern
Americans, and those who sympathised with
them, north of Mason and Dixon's line.
With one of the principles of the South Amer
ican party we agree. Against another, per
haps the leading one, we protest. Still, had
the choice continued to ba, between a candi
date, some of whose principles wc approved
and one, all of whose principles wo condemn
wc should have preferred the former. Fortu
natclv we aro left in no such dilemma. The
Northern Americans, the Americans of Free
dom, have concurred with the Republican.?
in presenting the name of a gallant, energetic
and accomplished Statesmen Col. Fremont ;
modest as he is bold learned, but too retir
ing ever to have aspired to that high place
Possessed of extraordinary executive ability
he has been found incorruptable in every
transaction of his life. The descendant of a
Huguenot, who was driven from his own conn
try by religious persecution, he is not likely
to favor the indulgence, or ascendancy of that
IrrSOCUtllirr lurasn rwntn. Uwncl wkU
the horrors of the "peculiar institution," and
having removed from his native "section" to
enjoy the blessings of Freedom, be seems a
fit person to hold tho reigns of a Free Kepub
lie.
We as American Republicans, or Rcpubli
can Americans, we care not which, shall give
our support to the man wlvo unites both char
acters ; and who, if elected, will restrain the
aggressions of Slavery, and curb, within just
limits, tho dangerous pretensions of a foreign
hierarchy. In this contest tho line will be
drawn between Liberty and Slavery; between
the Southern Oligarchy and their train bearers
the Northern Dough Faces, and the sturdy,
unyielding Freemen of the North. Lancaster

"Americans Cowards and Sons of Cow
akds." The Boston Pilot, a Papist paper,
having received "aid and comfort" from the
sham Democracy, has become impudent and
insulting. Following the lead of the Sham
Democratic papers, the Pilot insults American
born citizens with the taunt that they are
"Cowards and the Sons of Cowards;" What
think ye of this, sons of Revolutionary sires 1
Docs not this stir np your blood The next
taunt will be, that wc are not capable of gov
eruing ourselves. Truly, the Roman Catholic
element is becoming important, and dictates
the course this Government must pursue.
But here is the extract from the Pilot .
"If the party of burglars so rampant in the
City of Ppnn, and in the City of Rip Van
Winkle, possessed as much brains collectively
as a Choctaw Senate, when ry their council
fire, they could hear that their very- existence
as a nation depends on the Irish population of
this country. . " It ill becomes any Amer
ican to taunt Irishmen on the scoie of bravery.

to be proved to exist. lhe flag of America
is not yet seventy years old, and thrice the
native sons of America have deserted it.

of Cowards 1 to boast moderately. . As shop
keepers, they are excellent; as merchants,
enterprising and persevering; as usurers

ARRIVAL OP HI'S ANGLO-SAXON
English and American Troubles. . I
G a eat Britain. The American Minister
had an interview with Lord Clarendon, at the
Foreign Office, on Wednesday.
The Daily News again calls attention to the
doruesttc troubles of America. The Post in a
leader on the serious aspect of the internal pol
itics of the United States, says Kansas is but
the field in which the great American question
of Slavery is to be debated, most probably in
arms; and so thoroughly is the vital character
of the crisis understood inAmerica, that there
are many who hold.: that the postponement of
the contest would be cheaply purchased by a
foreign war, as tho only means of uniting the
jarring States once more under the same ban
ner. . .
The Times says : "There is unfortunately,
no longer any doubt that Mr. Crampton is to
be dismissed, and though the exact news of
his dismissal has not yet reached us, we may
certainly expect to receive information to that
cflect by the next arrival. : At the same time
that our Minister is dismissed, the exequatur
will be withdrawn from three Consuls whom
the American government considers guilty of
violation of their municipal laws."
Of the correctness of this intelligence the
Times does not pretend to express any doubt.
"The American government's intimation of its
intention," it says, "U accompanied with the
most profuse asurance of good will and res
pect towards this country."
Mr. Dallas, the Times is assured, is armed
with the fullest powers to negotiate and final
ly settle the disputes connected with tho Cen
tral American question, and if unable to come
to an agreement the contracting parties are
empoweredjWithoHt further reference toAmer
ica. to refer the question to the arbitration of
some impartial third person, to be selected by
mutual concurrence.
"As regards our retaining Mr. Dallas," says
tho Times, "that question should rest entirely
upon the guilt or innocence of Mr. Crampton.
If the latter be innocent Mr. Dallas ought not
to remain, and if he be guilty no false pride
should prevent us from acquiescing i:i his ex
pulsion." In the House of Commons, on Thursday, Mr.
D'Isracli said if the government did not go on
with the army estimates, they might expect a
discussion on our relations with tho United
States. The Chancellor of the Exchequer, In
reply, said ho would fix on Monday, if there
was no objection, to discussion on the army
estimates.

from Paris that the French army will be fur

The British mail steamer Asia, from Liver
pool on the 14th instant, arrived at New York
on the 2i th of June. Tho following is a tele
graphic report of her news :
There is much excitement in England res
pecting American affairs. The Fulton arrived
at Southampton on the 12th with newj of Mr.
Cramptoi.'j dismissal. The London Times
and Morning Post, in articles on this subject
are studiously offensive, a id demand the dis
missal of Mr. Dallas. It is not generally sup
posed, however, that he will be dismissed.
The manufacturing and commercial classes
of Liverpool and Manchester have issued ad
dresses to the citizens of America, and the
feelings of the people are active in favor of
peace. The peacs addresses of Manchester
received eight thousand signatures in a few
hours.
Several ships-of-war, it is said, have been
telegraphed to prepare for sea with all possi
ble dispatch, and all the commanders of the
gun-boats have been called to the port admir
als, as was rumored, to recieve instructions
for active service.
Lords Palmerston and "Clarendon stated in
Parliament on Friday night (tho ICth) that it
had not been decided to dismiss Mr. Dallas.
Lord John Russell gave notice of a motion
of inquiry as to the intention of the Govern
ment, in as much as there was a universal feel
ing among the people in faver of peace.
Tun Great Earthqi-ake in the Mississirn
Valley. Many persons had been deterred
from going to Illinois by the erroneous suppo
sition that the country was subject to volcanic
action. This had originated from the great
earthquake of 1811, by which the valley of the
Mississippi had been greatly shaken, the shocks
having continued for nearly three months.
The country just below the mouth of the Ohio
river would seem to have been near the centre
of the agitation. For miles the land had been
seamed with yawning chasms and deep holes,
the remains of which are still visible. The
bluff on which New Madrid had been built had
sunk to tho level of the river, and had become
soon afterward totally submerged. The com
motion in tho Mississippi had been very great;
the banks had caved in, islands had dissolved,
and the channel had become changed. At ev
ery shock the surface of the river had risen
and fallen like the waves of the sea. An eye
witness, who was coming down on a flat-boat,
says : "After escaping many dangers, my boat
suddenly swung round in the conflicting cur
rents and rapidly shot up the river. Looking
ahead, 1 beheld the mighty Mississippi cat ii
twain, and pouring down a vast opening into
the bowels of the earth. ' A moment more and
the chasm filled ; but the strong sides of the
flat-boat were crumbled to pieces in the con
vulsive efforts of the" flood to obtain its wonted
level." The Indians had been ulterlv bewil
dered by the earthquake, and could account
for the physical tumult onlv upon the suppo
sition that things generally had been gettinz
drunk. It is said of. ono of them, who had
given himself up for lost, that, upon being
questioned as to what tho matter was, be had
replied, while at the same time pointing fear
fully to the heavens, "Great Spirit whiskey

Key West, June 1?, 1S5C The correspon

Noth i ng very precise had been r ccei ved from
General Walker, who was at Leon, awaiting
the result of the election then pending for
President t.J Nicaragua, The army of Costa
Rica had disappeared before the ri.'les of the
Americans, the cholera and the rainy season.
From that side Walker had no longer cause
for anxiety. Harrera, President of Guatema
la, had once, with 0,000 men, storied. to act a
gainst Wa!ker,and kept on towards Nicaragua
until by dissertion his force was reduced to
500, by which time he thought it prudent to
go home again ; so that danger had passed a
way. "Honduras refused to allow the Guate
mala ami' to pass through its territory say
ing that Walker would beat it, and then fol
low the vanquished into Honduras! St. Sal
vador and Honduras seem' friendly to Nicara
gua and to Walker, who is to all appearance
firmly established on Central American soil.
A large party of armed men have recently
gone up to join Walker said to have had six
pieces of field artillery and S1S.000 worth of
munitions of war, from New Orleans-
The Tinklepangh protest seems to have been
made without cause. Capt. Tarleton, of the
Eurydice, did not think of doing anything of
ficious or offensive toward our people. On the
contrary, he believed he was rendering the A
mericans a service. This I am sure of. The
fact tluit he permitted the armed and organiz
ed expedition sent out in the schooner Minnie
Schaffer, from New Or!eans,with six field pie
cess to pass up the river, with the proclaimed
purpose of joining Walker, shows that he had
no disposition to. interfere. Let the gallant
Englishman have justice at our hands.
At Panama all was quiet. The St. Mary's
sloop-of-war was there and tho Commission

make an American safe wherever the Spanish
language is spoken.
FROM KANSAS.
The correspondent of the St. Louis Demo
crat, writing from Lawrence, K.T., under date
of June 10 saj-s, "that a young man named
Hopkins was shot early this morning, by a man
named llaynaii, both residents of this city.
The deceased was-a Kentnckian, in f ivor of
making Kansas a free State. Mr. Haynan and
his wife -went before the Committee of Safety
this forenoon, and made their statement. The
testimony of the wife differed very materially
from that of the murderer. By their state
ment it seems that tho deceased went to the
iutiso of Mr. IIa3-nau, forced tho door, enter
ed the house and fired several shots, none tak
ing cflect. Mr. H. then took his revolver and
shot the deceased through the heart, killing
him instantly. By the testimony of these in
terested parties, Mr. Haynau is justified in do
ing what he did. It wtis done in self-defence,
but after the man was killed, he, in conversa
tion with some of our citizens, declared that
he had killed "Jour other men, and had his eye
upon eight others." He is now acting as dep
uty Sheriff of Douglas county, and as such
used lhe troops this morning in arresting a
man named J. Colburn, anil taking him to Le

fur no one knows, as there was no writ out Cor

proceed as early as possible to Kansas, to take
charge cf the United States forces there. His
orders arc imperitive; in fact, hois clothed
with full power, to put down all insurrection,
come from what quarter it may. This policy
has been deemed advisable in order to take

mOXICS WON'T DO !-They never did Jo
A -more th.-'n give temporary relief and they
never will. It ia because they dn't touch th
CAUSE !' lhe disease. The CAUtE of all aguo
and bilious diseases is the atmospheric poison cal
led Miasma or Malarij. Neutralize thi- poison by
its NATURAL ANTIDOTE, and all diseases cau
sed by it disappears at once. Rhodes' Fever and
Ague Cure thi Antidote to Malaria, and more
over it is a perfectly harmless medicine. The cer
tifiestc of ilia celebrate 1 chemist, J. K. Chilton,
of New YV.rk. to tliis effect, is attached to every
bottle; therefore if it docs no good it can do no
hiirin.
This I? more than can be said of Quinine, Arsen
ic, or any tonic in existence, a? their use is ruin
ous to the constitution and brings on DUMB AGUE,
v'oii:!i never allows a person to fell perfectly well
fr a single moment. In illustration of these truth
I nr.nex some cstracts from a letter just received
from a l'h vsici:m :
(il'OKO KTOWN. OHIO. March 17, 135G.
JAS. A. RHODES, Esi. Dear Sir: Yours of
2d int. is at hand. The Cure arrived late last
year and the difficulty in getting auy one to try it
was greatly increased from the fact that a remedy
had been introduced which was growing iu favor
with the public, as being better than using Qui
liine, not knowing, I presume the remedy they
used to e-n: pe taking Quinine, contained the drug
itself ! The remedy, (known as -Smith's Tonic,')
would invnriahly broak an ague.but it did not enro
it, as it would return with renewed vigor. This
one circumstance I deemed in yonr favor, if I
could institute a test comparison between it and
your euro. The following is tho result : Threw
persons took your "cure," all of which were cases
of -Quotidian Intermittent Fever,7' of many week
standing. They had tried quinine, and othr rem
edies, occasionally missing a chill, but it was (as
in all such cases) slowly wearing them out, and
laying the foundation of other and severer mala
dies. I did Faceced in effecting a radical enro in
all three cases with your remedy, after "Smith s
Tonic"' had failed. I think there will be no diffi
culty now in giving to your "Cure" the vantage
ground of any other reraedv now in us here. Ac-.
WILLrAM BUCKNER, JI. 1.
Rhodes' Fever and Ague Cure, or Antidote to
Malaria, the only harmless remedy Jn existence, is
equally certain as a preventive, as a 'wire." Taka
it when 3'ou feel thochill coming on, and you will
never have a single cue. JAS. A. RIIOADS,
