In Summer, when the days were long, We walked together in the wood ; Our heart was light, our step was strong, Sweet flattering were there in our flood, In summer, when the day were long. We loved, and yet wo knew it not, For loving seemed like breathing then ; We found a heaven in every spot ; Saw angels, too,- in all good men ; And dreamed of God in grove and grot. In Summer, when the" days are long, Alone I wander, mnse alone ; I see her not but that old song. Under the fragrant wind is blown, In Summer, when the days aro 1 jng. Alone I wander in the wood ; lut one fair spirit hears my sighs ; And half I see. so glad nnd good, The honest daylight of her eyes. That charmed mo under earlier skies. In Summer, when the days are !ong, I love her as we loved of old ; My heart is light, my step is strong, For love brings back thoeo hours of gold, In Summer, when the days are long. WniG AND TORY. A True Story of the Bevolntion. It was a chilly, dreary afternoon in Novem ber, and the winds whistled about the little cottage where the remnant of Colonel Harper's scattered family drew around the hearth, from which the blazing firclogs sent forth unwonted cheerfulness. It was long since Madam Har per and the fair Mary had seen so happy an hour. .Never since the news came that the stalwart man to whom they looked for protec tion, to whom they clang with mingled love and reverence, had been barborously murder ed at the close of a disastrous skirmish with the royalists on the Santce. The family had some time before this sad event removed from their plantation on the river to a small estate in the more remote interior, where they would be less exposed to the malice of their enemies, to whom the name of the Harpers was suffi ciently obnoxious. And when their prime stay was thus torn from them, the widow and orphan felt doubly desolate in their solitude. But young Master Frank was now at home for a short space, recruiting from the effects of a severe wound received in one of the re cent battles. lie had come with the glad ti dings of victory; and a promotion, well de served, was made more grateful by the special commendajion of his general. So the genial spirits of the soldier communicated themselves to all around him : the mother and sister smil ed at his camp jests, and were never weary of listening to his stories of martial adventure. Old Caaar and Dinah also came in for their baro of social enjoyment ; and the few sables hich the little establishment still retained participated in the common happiness, now that, to uso their own words, "Mass' Frank come home real Congress cap'n." Notwith standing the outer dreariness of a chill No vembcr afternoon, all was pleasant withindoors. As a fresh blast made the fastenings of the shutter rattle, Captain Frank would hitch his seat nearer to the fire. 'J "Ah, my dears," beT" not like that Marion art jay, -'would I ilieis could be slshallbc! But sheltered this night as'WU'as I dare say that the General is at this very mo ment, making bivouac at the toot of some oak or hickory may-be at the edge of a swamp, or impenetrable mountain jungle. Eh, and even our friend Gaston, Miss Mary, may very probably lodge this night on 'the cold, cold ground,' as the roundelay has it." "And if it be so," replied the black eyed sister, "it will not have been for the first time; nor will Charles Gaston be the first to com plain." "llo, ho, my lady," rejoined Frank, laugh ingly, "pray take no offence at my remark ! I meant no insinuation against the young gen tleman's hardihood. I am well aware that if he should suffer serious injury, there is a cer tain warm-hearted relative of mine who would be much more ready to complain than ho would be himself. But, then, don't seek to retaliate ! I will give you the honors of the field, and retire from the contest at once. By the way, has anything been heard lately of that rascally neighbor of ours, that once was, Tom Dashwood ?" "Hush, Frank t" exclaimed his inother,with an involuntary uplifting of her finger ; while Mary, with evident discomposure, murmured something about affairs in the kitchen, and hurried out. Frank stared at his mother in surprise. "What means all this agitation ?" he inqui red. "I have otf.y asked a simple question, hich methinks scaruj demands such emotion from either yon or Mary . j know that the fel low once pretended some uncouth attentions to her, but what of that V . "You mistake, Frank," replug his mother. It must be, then, that you are n0rant of what we have lately heard of this mats villai ny. You know not, then, that he is tu,Ught to have been the cause of your father's deat.? "Good Heaven 1 no ! It is the first inti mation of the sort that I have had. But how?" ' "You arc doubtless aware," answered his mother, "that the Dashwoods never bore a good reputation for honesty in their dealings. Some years since this Thomas Dashwood was implicated in a fraudulent conveyance of es tate ; and your father was employed as a ma gistrate in ferreting out and punishing the crime. It was just about this time, also, that Dashwood received a rebuff in his rather ob trusive attentions to Mary. In the law busi ness, he succeeded in getting quite clear, as there was no legal evidence sufficient to prove the connection between himself and his prin cipals., But the odium of fraud clung to him notwithstanding ; and this, joined with the ab surd disappointment at .Mary's treatment of him, are supposed to have filled him with ven om against the whole family. Against Gaston also, he entertains the same spite. I do not know the precise agency which he had in pro ducing our misfortunes, but I pm told that he spread the report that your father had treated certain tory families with great cruelty ; and also that, having professed allegiance to the British at Charleston, he had, nevertheless, taken up arms against them,, once more and that, too, on the very first opportunity. Doubt less he managed as insiduously as possible ; but the quarter from which the story reached me, and what I know of the man besides, leaves me little doubt. .Nay," she continued, casting a timorous glance at the securities which now barred both window and door from the outer darkness, "such is the character of Dashwood, that did I suspect him to be within possible reach of this dwelling, I should not feel at case a single moment." "The hypocrite ! the satanic scoundrel!" said the captain to himself, as, with clenched hands and close set teeth, he walked the room. "O, that I had but known this before !'.' One or two blows, as of a person asking ad mittance, were heard on the outside of the door. Frank went towards it. "Who goes there ?" he asked. A musket was instantly discharged from without; and Frank received a slight wound, stepped quickly back, while the door shivered beneath the axes of the as sailants. "My son .' my son ! exclaimed the terrified mother, throwing her arms around the captain. The latter, about to grasp his rifle, paused ; he saw the uselessncss of attempting defence. Therefore, he would so conduct, that the pas- i sions of the unopposed assailants might, at the least, reach no further than himself. "Ila, good folk " cried Dashwood, who tho next moment bounded over the threshold. "Good evening to you Mistress Harper ; and you, captain ; and you, Miss Mary," he added, turning to the poor girl, who stood breathless as marble at the further extremity of the room. "An unexpected meeting, I pre sume, on your part, but none the less rejoiced to see me. Is it not so, my dear ?" Mary Harper shuddered ; and though sho attempted to speak, the sounds died away on her lips as she glanced on Dashwood, and those by whom he was surrounded. "What, so overjoyed that you can't even speak to me,niy dear ? If you but knew what a long way I have come to meet you. More than that, I have brought the ring, and a par son to see that it is fitted rightly. Of course you will not .refuse me. No, no, that would ; be impossible. How lortunate, too, that Cup tain Frank is here to witness the wedding !" A choking lump was struggling in Frank's throat during this monologue; and it was per haps as well that in the meanwhile his arms were firmly held by two brawny ruffians, or they might not have been able to restrain his hot southern blood within the bounds of pru dence. There was a savage exultation about Dashwood, which, coupled with the recent in formation received by young Harper, made the blood of the latter fairly seethe in his veins. Nevertheless, ho so far controlled himself as to say : "Dashwood, if you have any disposition to return a fav or, remember the fight at Moun tain Creek, and act accordingly. Had it not been for me, you would not have lived to be here. Take our goods and what little money wc have, but spare ourselves!" "By Heaven !" retorted Dashwood, with a sullen fury in his face, "I should think some lord was giving us his commands ! Look ye, Master Frank Harper, I do mean to return the favor. I want neither to haim yon, nor to take any of your rascally possessions unless it may be a glass or two of wine, and such odd silver as you may wish to make a present of to my fellows.. Eut there is one thing, Master Frank, that I am determined on; and that is, that Miss Mary shall consent to be my wife this ver' eve or else there'll bo such a muss as was never heaid before in this house! I have brought parson Jones " But here Frank's passion overmastered his caution ; and shaking ofl his sinewy guards as though they were children, he threw himself on Dashwood, and bore him to the floor. The latter was quickly relieved by his companions, but not before his swarthy face become still darker from tho grip which Frank had placed on his thre at. "Seize, seize the scoundrel !" cried Dash wood, as soon as ho was able to articulate. "lie shall swing for it as I live ! The rope, Oakman! the rope!" This was forthwith produced ; and regard 's of tho piteous entreaties of tho women, Dwhwood knotted the' cord with the readiness of at.1(jej,t) aRd cast it round the neck of the prisone. whose arms were now tightly strap ped behiu jlira An end of tho rope was thrown over . beam whicn ran above. -"Thers, Miss.rary) said Dashwood, coolly, "don't take on sM ijc isn't dead yet; and for your sake I will t h5m g0j notwithstand ing the injury he has dvCi and tno morc which he intended to do mcTorovidcd however, you 'do me the faior of aUcMin. ffiC with the parson j-onder. Here, parson Jones, come hither !" A man of vulgar appearance his face beto kening the habit of constant potations now came forward, book in hand, and wearing a faded surplice which hung in disorder from his shoulders. "Look at him," exclaimed Dashwood, with an air of ruffianly effrontery. "I call all per sons present to witness that this is a true Line parson, (Giles Jones by name,) whom I have brought with me all the way from Scragg's Creek, believing that I should want his servi ces. So, Parson Jones, spout away : here am I, and here is Miss Mary, who doubtless is wil ling enough, only a litt le coy. Oakman, stand by the rope's. Now then, my dear, you had best be pliable, or your brother will have to swing for it !" He essayed to take her hand, but though faint and scarce conscious of what she did, she thrust it away with instinctive disgust. "String him up, Oakman !" exclaimed Dashwood, his face inflamed with rage. "Up to the rafters with hiia I I'll not be fooled in this way !" Oakman was in the act of obeying, when the women, with the resolution of despair, threw themselves in his way. While he rudely struggled against their frantic efforts, the door flew open, and a score or morc of men rushed into the-room, overthrowing Dashwood and his murderous tool, and disarming their mates. Frank was released, and .Mary found herself in the arms of Gaston, who, in a few words told her how he had been apprised by accident of Dashwood's probable designs, which he had thus barely been able to prevent. Dashwood was bound with the rope which he had provi ded for another, and carried to the camp of General Surnpter, who lay about fifteen miles from the dwelling of tho Harpers. Here ho was placed before a court-martial, charged with murder in cold blood, and also with de serting the continential flag, under which he had at one time taken a commission. The ac cusations were proved, and he was executed forthwith the country being well rid of a bru tal and faithless ruffian. Mary and Gaston were married near the close of tho war, und settled on an estate which ho recently purcha sed near tne Ilarper plantation. Eattvu's no torial. Foreign News. Recent arrivals from Eu ropo brought news to the 23d. The British Parliament would probably be prorogued on the 2Gth July. The London Times intimates that the propositions submitted by Mr. Dallas for the settlement of the Central American question are likely to prove satisfactory to the British government. They propose the estab lishment of San Juan as a free port under the sovereignty of Nicaragua, reserving to Costa Rica the right of traffic through it, and sucJr portions of the river San Juan as are necessa ry ; the concentration of the Mosquito sava ges within definite limits, clear of Jthe mouth of the river and town, but guaranteeing the payment cf their annuity ; tho restoration of the Bay Islands to Honduras, and Belize to remain a British possession, with IS dog. oO min. latitude as its territorial limit. Accounts from Spain say that the insurrection had been effectually crushed at Madrid, where O'Don Jkll had made preparations for the outbreak by surrounding the city with 18,003 troops. Iu the conflict 200 of the insurgents were kill ed. The Cortes had removed to Arragon, where under Gen. Enfante they intended, to make war upon Queen Isabella and O'Donncll. Serious disturbances have broken out at Cas scna, in the Papal States, and at Naples. Nu merous arrests have been made. The difficul ties between England and Brazil were attract ing attention in Parliament. The New Locoroco Doctrine, promulgated at Cincinnati and endorsed by the Buchanan Union savers, that Congress has no jurisdic tion over slavery in the national territories "because it is a domestic institution, will yet, if carried out, lead to terrible results. Mar riage js also a domestic institution, and if slaveholders have the right to introduce their property anywhere iu our territories, theu have the polygamists of Utah, with their do zens of wives, the right of introducing polyga my. ' The doctrine is monstrous, and Chris tian men, aye and women too, should pause and reflect deeply before they lend themselves to such political prostitution. Ed Jacket took part with the Americans in tbe war of 1812, and becomming attached to a colonel who was ordered on a distant ser vice, took his farewell of him in the following speech : "Brother, I hear that you are going to a place called Governor's Island. I hope youwill be a governor yourself. I understand you white people think children a great bles sing, I hope you may have a thousand. And above all, I hope, wherever you may go, you maf never find whiskey more than two shill ing a quart." j Xaxsas. Wo have advices from Leaven w4th to the SOth ult. Col. Lane and his com pany (numbering, wo think, 400 men) had not cniered Kansas territory. Gen. Smith threat eii them with martial law if they do." The territorial authorities were commencing to kry taxes, but both parties refuse to pay, and tKuWc is apprehended. CONGRESSIONAL DUELS. The recent escapades of Mr. Brooks, of Soutli Carolina, have given an unusual degree of interest to the snlject of duelling, and the New York Times has revived the recollections of some of tho more celebrated Congressional -affairs of honor. Dnels have been fought by members of Congress from the very commence ment of our existence as a nation, but these aflairs have been much less frequent than is generally supposed to be the case. In fact all the Congressional challenges that have been sent, from the meeting of the first Congress ia Philadelphia down to the affair between Brooks and Bur'.ingame, do not exceed twenty-five in number not half so many as have been fought by members cf tho British Parliament. The first duel by a member of Congressj on record, was that between Button Gwinnett and Jackl and Mcintosh, in 1777. They were both of the State of Georgia, though Gwinnett on ly was a member of Congress. He was a sign er of the Declaration of Independence, and his antagonist was an officer of tho army. The dispute was of a personal nature, and the duel can hardly be called a Congressional encoun ter, as it did not grow out of any act of either party connected with politics. The next af fair of honor in which a member of Congress was implicated, occurred in 1707, and was strictly Congressional, as it was occasioned by words spoken in debate. The parties were Thomas Blount, representative from North Carolina, and Judge Thatcher, from Massachu setts. The . challenger was Blount, who took oilence t a verbal criticism of an expression ho used, by Thatcher, who, on receiving the invitation to fight, declined giving an answer until he could write to his wife and obtain her consent; and there the matter stopped. Sev en years afterwards, in 1804, Senator Jackson, of Georgia, was wounded in a duel with Col. Watkins; the cause of the duel was political, but not a Congressional quarrel. In the year previous, Jonathan Dayton, a Senator from New Jersey, sent a challenge to Dc Witt Clin ton, then a Senator from New York, on ac count of an offensive remark of the latter in a debate,' for which he mado an apology that was read in the Senate. Inthe year lSio General Mason, a Senator from Virginia, was killed In a duel, by his relative, McCarty, also a Virginian ; but though the cause of the duel was political, it did not originate in Congress. The next affair of honor, in which a mem ber of Congress was a party, "was the celebra ted affair of McDullic, of South Carolina, and Col. Cummings,- of Georgia, which came off in the year 1822. .The famous affair between Henry Clay and John Randolph occurred four years after the last, ia 1S2G. The next year Mr. Vance, an ex-member of Congress from North Carolina, was killed in a duel by Mr. Carson, a member from the same State. Ten years afterwards, in IS37, Mr. Dromgoole, a member of Congress from Virginia, was mor tally wounded in a duel w ith Mr. Dugger, of the same State. In 1SS8, tho still freshly re membered meeting took place between Jona than Cilly, of Maine, and William J. Graves, of Kentucky, both members of Congress, in which the former was killed. This tragical af fair created a feeling in the public mind so re pugnant to the duello that it was not until the year 1S-j1 that another affair of honor grcw out of a Congressional quarrel, when Mr. Stanley, of North Carolina, and Mr. Inge, of Alabama, met and exchanged shots without doing each other any personal injury, and then explained and became friends. Two years af terwards, Mr. Inge was the second of Senator Gwinn, of California, who fought with Mr. Mc Coikle, a representative of tho same State. Though members of Congress, the duel grew j out of expressions used by one of the parties at a race course in California, where the meet ing took place. In 1S54 the affair between Mr. Cutting, of New York, and Mr. Brccken ridge, the Democratic candidate for the Vice Presidency, occurred, in which no meeting took place from tho difficulty of deciding which party had given the challenge. The next affair of the kind that occurred is the ono which now engrosses the public attention, nnd which, taken in all its aspects, is certainly the most remarkable, and the least creditable to one of the parties, of all tho affairs of honor in w hich members of Congress have been en gaged, of w hich we have any know ledge. Du ring the past eighty years there have been but few hostile meeting between our leading poli ticians, considering the virulence and strong sectional feelings that have existed, while there has hardly leen an eminent British statesman who has not been engaged in a duel. Pitt, Canning, Fox, Curran, O'Connell, Peel, D'Israeli, Castlereagh, and many more of the leading statesmen of England, have had their little affairs of honor, but our eminent public men have been singularly free from such de grading encounters. Buchanan asd the Compromise In a speech delivered by Mr. Barksdale, of Missis sippi, week before last, he announced to the House of Representatives that he was author ized to say, if Mr. Buchanan was elected Pres ident he would veto any bill which Congress might pats contemplating the restoration of the Missouri Compromise, or tho principle which it recognized. , There is a strong conviction pre vailing that secret pledges have been given by or lor Mr. Buchanan, to tho South, covering, if possible, even larger concessions than those contained in the Cincinnati platform. Black Hepvblicaxs. Some of the lower grades cf Democratic papers style Fremont and Dayton-the "Black" Eepublican candi dates. We will submit a simple statement of facts, and leave the public to decide whether the epithet "black" would not be more ap propriately applied to the Democratic party : FTerapnt and Dayton are pledged to favor tho admission of Kansas under the Constitu tion already formed which Constitution pro hibits the admission of negroes into the State cither free or slave. Consequently under that Constitution, the State would be forever con secratcd'lo an unmixed white population. While, on the other hand, the Cincinnati Plat form allows slave owners to carry their ne groes there in droves, and if that Platform is sustained by the people, and the expulsion of the Free-State settlers approved of, the black race will soon become a permanent institution there. The success of the Republican ticket would tend to make it a White State while the success of the Democratic ticket will, in all probability, make it a Hack or slave State Now, to which party does the epithet "&'ac.V" more appropriately belong ? Ex. A Capital Stout. The Hawkcye and Iowa Patriot tells a capital temperance story. A farmer belonging somewhere in Iowa, bought a keg of whiskey and carried it home. Well knowing that his better half occasionally took a "drop or so" if it came in her way, and now and then would have a drop at all events, he then endeavored to conceal the keg from her by suspending it in the barn, somewhere near the ridge pole. The eagle eyed, or rather "hawkeyed" wife got sight of it, however, and resolved upon obtaining a taste. It was impossible for her to reach it. At length she hit Upon the fol lowing expedient, which worked to a charm. Taking down her husband's rifle, she put in a charge with a good ball, and taking deliber ate aim at the keg, tapped it with a ball, and brought down the whiskey at the first shot '. Having a tub previously prepared, she was thus enabled to catch all, without losing a drop, and left her poor husband to woor r-r t.j onuer at tnc loss of his whiskey. CtTTixd it Thick. The Yankees are gener ally supposed to possesi more acuteness than any other people on the face of the globe, yet the following story will show that some of the Germans possess this faculty to a remarkable degree. On one occasion a German residing in the country came into Buffalo with hams to sell. Among the rest, he sold a dozen or two to a German hotel-keeper, who afterwards, in demonstrating tho acuteness of his country man over the Yankee, said : ''You may talk pout your tarn Yankees scheeting, but a Dutchman scheeted me much petter as a Yankee never was. He prings me some hams dey was canvass nice, so petter as you never see. I buy one, two dozen all so nice and if you believe do scheet was so magnificent dat I eat r-ix, seven, . eight of dem tarn hams before I found out dey was made of wood !" A Virginian thus sums up the political his tory of "Pennsylvania's favorite Son "Mr. Buchanan has been for a bank and against it for the tariff of IS 12 and against it e-for the Maysvillo and Cumberland roads, and against internal improvements for dis tribution of the proceeds of the public lands and against it for "squatter sovereignty" now and ngainst it iu 181S for the principle of the Wilmot proviso hitherto, and against it now (because it clashes with the "squatter sovereignty" platform built at Cincinnati.) thanking his God that his fortune was cast in a State not cursed with slavery, and now the champion of Southern institutions but, above all, for Washington's policy of non-intervention with the affairs of foreign countries, and yet tlie author of the Ostend manifesto !" The Hon. James Myers, ex-Lieutenant Gov ernor of Ohio, has left the Democratic party and announced his determination to support Fremont. For thirty years, Mr.Myers has ad hered to and voted with the Democratic party. He received his political education from. such men as Silas Wright and A. C. Flagg, and was distinguished as a politician while yet a young rrian residing in the State of New York. Twenty years ago he removed to the State of Ohio, and from that day to this has been one of the most prominent Democrats in the State, holding offices of high grade, and exerting a political influence second to no other man vl his party. A man named Got! waa killed in Johnstown, Cambria county, Ta., on the 2Sth July, by an other named Potts. They had been drinking together in a restaurant, and after paying their bill, fell to boxing each other, in apparently good humor. Potts finally struck Gofl'sothat he fell. Potts and some- others present, after smoking awhile, went out, Goff still lying on the floor. The bar-keeper then approached GoQ'with a light, and was amazed to find him dead ! Potts, who was overwhelmed with a iaazement on hearing the result of what ho considered so trifling an incident, has been taken into custody. Frkmoxtis Martlasd. Tho Cecil Demo crat states that a Fremont electoral ticket is to be formed in Maryland, and that Francis T. Blair, Esq., is to be one of the electors at large. HELP HE, C ASIUS, OK I f The Albany Evening Journal says that the Buchananites are calling for "Help !" Tho loud pulsations of the public heart for Free dom and Fhf.moxt alarm them. Hence the call for money, embodied in the following circular forwarded to us by- Post Master who receiv ed it : (r-BiVATE.) To the Fast Master cf . Dzar Sir At a private consultation of tho leading Democrats of the Union held in tMs city, immediately upon the adjournment of Cincinnati Convention, it was recommended that each Postmaster be requested to contri bute an amount proportionate to the receipts of their respective offices. Upon examining the returns of the Poet Office Department it found that your proportion will bo three dol lars, which you will confer a favor-ly remit ting by return of mail. The principal object in making these collec tions is to throw Into the doubtful States aa immense quantify of ?pccche8 and documents in favor of the policy cf the Democratic par ty, and also to assist in defraying tho expen ses of speakers that will be employed during" the coming canvass. You will therefore per ceive that every Post Master who wishes for.a continuance of his official position will find it for his interest to use every effort to bring a bout so desirable a result. KTlYst Masters aro appealed to because they are considered tho representatives of tha party in their respective localities, and being the rccii'ients of the patronage of tho Admin istration, it is but just that they should com ply with its demand.

Instead cf sending the "threo dollars" to Washington, as requested, tho gentleman ad dressed sent it to us to pay for ten copies of the Campaign paper! This may be takca as a significant 'sign of the times." Fremont ix ffi;1 n- tnc Vonaliluiion, a calm and unexcitable print, says, that it is frequently interrogated in re gard to its views of the prospects of Fremont in Pennsylvania, and adds, we believe firmly that he can carry the State, but do not assume, to give figures for any but that portion in which wo are intimately acquainted with the state of popular feeling. In Erie county we shall cer tainly have 2000 majority ; Crawford not less than 1300, and possibly 1800 ; Warren over 500 ; in Venango 500 ; Mercer probably 700 ; Lawrence 1000 ; Butler 700 ; Beaver 600 ; Al legheny 4500 ; Westmoreland is confidently claimed lor Fremont we name no majority ; Washington S90; Fayette 600; Arnistrom; S00; Indiana 2000; Jefferson 300; Clarion and Greene w ill probably give majorities for Bu chanan. The counties named cave Pollock lGjjOO majority, and according to our esti mate, which is certainly moderate, they will give Fremont not less than 17,500. All the indications are that our majorities will greatly exceed, in many counties, the figures we Lavo claimed. If the campaign is conducted with the energy and enthusiam which the signs in dicate, there is little doubt that tho counties embraced in our list will roll up a clean ma jority cf 20,OW. It mast bo come in mini that the counties whero the Republican gains arc largest, have always been heavily Demo cratic. In the same territory, Pierce had near ly C,000 majority in 18-52. SritL they Cojie ! A Voice from Bcchax as'jHome! The Independent Whig, of Aug ust oih, printed in Lancaster City, Pa., con tains a letter from C. M. Johnston renouncing the Cincinnati platform and Buchanan, and de claring his intention to yield a hearty support to John C. Fremont. Mr. Johnson is the cel ebrated Drumorc shoemaker, who has address ed hundreds of Democratic meetings, and has heretofore been engaged as a speaker over tho State. He was a member of the Buchanan County Committee of Lancaster, and his let ter Is addressed to the chairman, resigning his post. Ho says for the last twenty years he vo ted the Democratic ticket in Lancaster coun ty, but as the Cincinnati Convention had re pudiated the Democracy of Jefferson and Jack son, by endorsing the sectional measures of tho Pierce Administration, and adopted a plat form destructive in its character to the whole country, he cannot consistently support cither it or its nominees. The Whig says Mr. John stou is but one cf scores of "old line Demo crats" in Lancaster county, who repudiate tho Cincinnati platform and its nominees. Green Coax Omelet.
