In Summer, when the days were Ion He walked together in the wood ; Uur heart was light, our step was strong Sweet fluttering were, there in our flood, In summer, when the days were long. , We loved, and yet wo knew it not, nr , ,ovin 8med like breathing then ; o found a heaven in every spot ; Saw angola, too. in all good men ; And dreamed of God in grove and grot. In Summer, when the days are long, Alone I wander, muse alone ; I sco her not but that old song. Under the fragrant wind is blown, In bummer, when the days are long. Alono I wander in the wood ; But one fair spirit hears my sighs; And half I see, so glad and good, The honest daylight of her eyes. That charmed me under earlier skies. In Summer, when the days are long, I love her as we loved of old ; My heart is light, my step is strong, For lov-e brings back thoso hours of gold, In Summer, when the days are long. WHIG AND TORY. A True Story of the Eevolution. 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 flrelogs sent forth unwonted cheerfulness. It was long since Madam Har per and the fair Mary Lad seen so happy an lionr. Never since the news came that the stalwart man to whom they looked for protec tion, to whom they clung with mingled love and reverence, had been barborously murder ed at the close of a disastrous skirmish with the royalists on the Santcc. 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 commendation 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 Ca;aar and Dinah also came in for their share of social enjoyment; and tho few sables which the little establishment still retained participated in the common happiness, now that, to use their own words, "Mass' Frank come home real Congress cap'n." Notwith standing the outer dreariness of a chill No vember afternoon, all was pleasant within doors. As a fresh blast made the fastenings of the shutter rattle, Captain Frank would hitch his seat nearer to the fire. "Ah, my dears," he would say, "would I not like that Marion and his soldiers could be sheltered this night as well as I shall be ! But I dare say that tho General is at this very mo ment, making bivouac at the foot 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 tho 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." ------ "Ho, ho, my lady," rejoined Frank, laugh ing' "pray take no offence at my remark ! " I meant no insinuation against the young gen tleman's hardihood. I am well aware that if lie should suffer serious injury, there is a ccr- tain warm-hearted relative of mine who would bo 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 tho contest at once. By the way, has anything been heard lately of that rascally neighbor of ours, that oucc was, Tom Dashwood 1" . "Hush, Frank !" exclaimed his mother,with an involuntary uplifting of her fiDger ; 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 7" he inqui red, "I have only asked a simple question, which mcthinks scarce demands such emotion from either you or Mary. I know that the fel low once pretsnded some uncouth attentions to her, but what of that 7" . "lou mistake, Frank," replied his mother. "It must be, then, that you aio ignorant of what wc have lately heard of this man's villai ny. You know not, then, that he is thought to have been the cause of your father's death?" "Good Heaven ? no ! It is the first inti mation of the sort that I have had. But how?" "You are doubtless aware," answered his mother, "that the Dashwocds 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 tho crime. It was just about this time, also, that Dashwood received a rebuff in bis rather ob trusive attentions to Mary. V In the law busi ness, he succeeded in getting quite clear, as there was no legal evidence sufficient to prove me 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 am 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, ho had, ncverUIyss, taken up arms against them once more ami 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 botli window and door from the outer darkness, '-'such i3 the character of Dashwood, that did I suspect him to be within possible reach of this dwelling, I should not feel at ease 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 Hie terrified mother, throwing her arms around the captain. The latter, about to grasp his rifle, paused ; he saw the uselcssness of attempting defence. Therefore, be would so conduct, that the pas sions of the unopposed assailants might, at the least, reach no further than himself. "Ha, good folk .'" cried Dashwood, who the next moment bounded over tho threshold. "Good evening to you Mistress Harper; and you, captain ; and you, Miss Mary," ho 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 she 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, my dear 7 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 sec that it is fitted rightly. Of course you will not refr.sa me. No, no, that would be impossible. How lortunate, too, that Cap 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 rcstraiu 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 tho latter fairly seethe in bis veins. Nevertheless, he so far controlled himself as to say : "Dashwood, if you have any disposition to return a favor, remember the fight at Moun tain Creek, and act accordingly. Had it not been for me, you would not have lived to bo here. Take our goods and what little money we 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 l',rank Harper, I do mean to return the favor. I want neither to harm you, 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. But there is one thing, Master Frank, that I nm determined on; and that is, that Miss Mary shall consent to bo my wife this very eve or else there'll be such a muss as was never heat d 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 Dasawood, and boro hini to the floor. The latter was quickly relieved by his companions, but not before his swarthy face become still darker from the grip which Frank had placed on his throat. "Seize, seize the scoundrel !" cried Dash wood, as soon as he was able to articulate. "He shall swing for it as I live ! The rope, Oakman ! the ropo!" This was forthwith produced ; and regard less of Hi? piteous entreaties of the women, Dashwood knotted the cord with the readiness of an adept, and cast it round the neck of the prisoner, whose arms were now tightly strap ped behind him. An end of the rope w-as thrown over a beam which ran above. "There, Miss Mary," said Dashwood, coolly, "don't take on so ! He isn't dead yet; and for your sake I will let him go, notwithstand ing the injury he has done, and the more which lio intended to do me provided, however, you do me the favor of attending me with the parson yonder. Here, parson Jones, come hither !" A man of vulgar appearance his face bctos kening tho 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, wifli an air of ruffianly effrontery. "I call all per sons present to witness that this is a true blue parson, (Giles Jones by name,) whom I have brought with me all the way -froa Scragg's Creek, believing that I should want his seivi-4 .CPS.-, ip Parson Jones, spout av3fy"r "Whv am I, and hero is Miss Mary, who doubtless is wil ling enough, only a little coy. Oaknun, staud by the ropes. Now then, my dear, you had best bo pliable, or your brother will have to swing for it !" lie 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 him ! 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 bis way. While he rildely struggled against their frantic efforts, the door flew open, aud a score or more of men rushed into the room, overthrowing Dashwood and bis 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 Sumptcr, who lay about fifteen miles from the dwelling of the Harpers. Here he was placed before a court-martial, charged with murder in cold blood, and also with de serting the continental flag, under which he had at one time taken a commission. The ac cusations were proved, and he was executed forthwith tho country being well rid of a bru tal ami faithless ruffian. Mary and Gaston were married near the close of the war, nnd settled on an estate which he recently purcha sed near the Harper plantation. Ballou's Pic torial. Foreign News. Kccent arrivals from Eu rope brought news to the 2Cd. The British Parliament would probably bo 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 liica tho right of traffic through it, and such portions of the river San Juan as arc necessa ry ; the concentration of the Mosquito sava ges within definite limits, clear of the mouth of the river and town, but guaranteeing the payment of their annuity ; tho restoration of tho Bay Islands to Honduras, and Belize to remain a British possession, with 18 deg. 50 min. latitude as its territorial limit. Accounts from Spain say that the insurrection had been effectually crushed at Madrid, where O'Don noll had made preparations for the outbreak by surrounding the city with 18,000 troops. In the conflict 200 of tho insurgents wore kill ed. The Cortes had removed to Arragon, where under Gen. Enfante they intended to make war upon Queen Isabella and O'Donnell. Serious disturbances have broken out at Cas sena, 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 Locofoco Doctr in e, 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 is also a domestic institution, and if slaveholders have the right to introduce their property anywhere in our territories, then have the polygaraists 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. Bed Jacket took part with the Americans in the 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 you will 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 may never find whiskey more than two shill ings a quart." a Hi i Kansas. We have advices from Leaven worth to the 30th ult. Col. Lane and his com pany (numbering, we think, 400 men) had not entered Kansas territory. Gen. Smith threat ens them w ith martial law if they do. The territorial authorities were commencing to ltvv taxes, but both parties refuse to pay, and trouble is apprehended. CONGRESSIONAL DUELS. The recent escapades of Mr. Brooks, of South Carolina, have given an unusual degrco of interest lo the subject of duelling, and the New York Times has revived the recollections of some of the more celebrated Congressional affairs of honor. Dncls have been fongbt by members of Congress from the very commence ment of our existenco as a nation, but these atlairs have been much less frequent than is generally supposed to be the case. In fact all tl'e Congressional challenge ' ityat have been sent, from the meeting of the first Congress in PhiladhMs'Wrn fo'tlic affair between Brooks and Builinganjc,do not exceed Itranty-Jive. in number not half so many as have been fought by members of the British Parliament. Tho first duel by a member of Congress, on record, was that between Button Gwinnett and Jackland Mcintosh, in 1777. They were both of the State of Georgia, though Gwinnett on ly was a member-of Congress. lie was a sign er of the Declaration of Independence, and his antagonist was an officer of the 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 cither party connected with politics. The next af fair of honor in which a member of Congress was implicated, occurred in 1707, aud 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 ; offence at a verbal criticism of an expression he 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 1801, 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 Do 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 made an apology that was read iu the Senate. In the year 1810 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 aflair of honor, in which a mem ber of Congress was a party, was tho celebra ted affair of McDuflie, of South Carolina, and Col. Cummings, of Georgia, which came off in the year 1822. Tho famous affair between Henry Clay and John Randolph occurred four years after the last, in 1820. Tho next year Mr. Vance, an ex-member of Congress from North Carolina, was killed in a duel by Mr. Carson, a member from tho same State. Ten years afterwards, in 1837, Mr. Dromgoole, a member of Congress from Virginia, was mor tally wounded in a duel with Mr. Dugger, of the same State. In 1838, the still freshly re membered meeting took place between Jona than Cilly, of Maine, and William J. Graves, of Kentucky, both member? of Congress, in which the foi mer was killed. This tragical af fair created a feeling in the public mind soro pngnant to the duello that it was not until the year 18-31 that another affair of honor grew 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 aud became friends. Two years af terwards, Mr. Inge was tho second of Senator G ivinn, of California, who fought with Mr. Mc Corkle, a representative of tho same State. Though members of Congress, the duel grow out of expressions used by one of the parties at a race course in California, where tho meet ing took place. In 13-3i tlsc affair between Mr. Cutting, of New York, and Mr. Erccken ridgc, the Democratic candidate for the Vice Presidency, occurred, in which no meeting took place from the difficulty of deciding which party had given the challenge. The next aflair of the kind that occurred is the one which now engrosses the public attention, and which, taken in ail its aspects, is certainly the most remarkable, and the least creditable to one of the parties, of all the affairs of honor in which members of Congress have been en gaged, of which we have any knowledge. 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 been an eminent British statesman who hasnot been engaged in a duel. Pitt, Canning, Fox, Curran, O'Connell, Peel, D'Isracli, Castlereagh, and many more of the leading statesmen of England, have had their little afiairs of honor, but our eminent public men have been singularly free from such de grading encounters. BUCHANAN AND THE COMPROMISE In a speech delivered by Mr. Barksdale, of Missis sippi, week before last, ho announced to the House of Keprcscntatives that ho was author ized to say, if Mr. Buchanan was elected Pres ident ho would veto any bill u-hich Congress might pass contemplating the restoration of the Missouri Compromise, or the principlo which it recognized. There is a strong conviction pre vailing that secret pledges have been given by or for Mr. Buchanan, to tho South, covering, if possible, even larger concessions than those contained in the Cincinnati platform. J Black Kepublicans. Some of the lower grades of Democratic papers style Fremont j and Dayton the "Elack" Republican candi j dates. Wo 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 Use Democratic party : Fremont and Dayton arc pledged to favor the admission of Kansas nnder the Constitu tion already formed which Constitution pro hibits the admission of negroes into tho State either free cr slave. Consequently under that Constitution, tlio State would be forever con secrated to 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 sustaiuod by the people, and the expulsion of the Free-State settlors approved of, tho black race will soon become a permanent institution there. The success of the Republican ticket would tend to make it a M'kite State while the success of the Democratic ticket will, in all probability, make it a Hack or slats Stated Now, to which party does the epithet "7acA" more appropriately belong ? Ex. A Capital Story. The Hawkcye and Iowa Patriot tells a capital temperance story. A farmer belonging somewhere in Iowa, bought a keg of whiskey ami carried it home. Well knowing that his better half Occasionally took a "drop or so"' if it came in her way,aud now and then would have a drop at all even's, 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 weep over and wonder at the loss of his whiskey. Ccttixo it Thick. The Yankees arc gener ally supposed to possess 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 facnPy to a remarkable degree. On one occasion a German residing in the country came into BufTalo wit!; 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 scliccting, but a Dutchman scheeted me much potter as a Yankee never was. He prings mo some hams dey was canvass nice, so petter as you never see. I buy one, two dozen all so nice and if you believe de sehect was so magnificent dat I cat six, seven, eight of dem tarn bains 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 fcr a bank nnd against it for the taritf of ISI2 nnd against it for the Maysville ami Cumberland roads, nnd against internal improvementst for dis tribution of the proceeds of tho public lands and against it for "squatter sovereignty" now and Against it in 1S48 for the principle of the Wilmot proviso hitherto, and against it notr (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 tho champion of Southern institutions but, above all,i,r Washington's policy cf non-intervention with the atlairs of foreign countries, and yet the author of the Ostcnd manifesto !"' The Hon. James Myers, cx-Licutenant 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 bis political education from such men as Silas Wright and A. C. Flagg, and was distinguished as a politician while yet a young man residing in the Stste of New York. Twenty years ago he removed to tho 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 of his party. A man named Gofl was killed iu Johnstown, Cambria county, Pa., 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 GoiTso that be fell. Potts and some others present, alter smoking awhile, went out, Goff still lying on the floor. The bar-keeper then approached Goff with a light, and was amazed to find him dcail ! Potts, who Was overwhelmed w ith .a mazement on hearing the result of what ho considered so trifling an incident, has been taken into custody. Fremont in Maryland. The Cecil Demo crat states that a Fremont electoral ticket is to be formed in Maryland, and that Francis P. I'Jair, Esq., is to be one of the electors at large. "HELP HE, CASIUS, 0E I EIITX !" The Albany Evening Journal says that tho Buchananitcs arc calling for "Help!" Tho loud pulsations of the public heart for Free dom and Fremont alarm them. Hence the call for money, embodied in the following circular forwarded to tis by a Post Master who receiv- , ed it : (PRIVATE.) To the rost Master of . - - . Dear Sir At a private consultation of the leading Democrats of the Union held in this 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 Post Office Department it is found that your proportion will be three dol lars, which yu w ill confer a favor by remit ting by return of mail. The principal object in making these collec tions is to throw into the doubtrul States an immense quantity of speeches and documents in favor of the policy of the Democratic par tv, and also to assist in defraying tho expen ses of speakers that will bo employed during the coming canvass. You will therefore per ceive that every Post Master who wishes for a continuance cf hisojficial position will find it for bis interest to use every effort to bring a- bout so desirable a result. Cyl'ost Masters are appealed to becauso they are considered the representatives of tho party in their respective localities, and being the recipients of the patronage of tho Admin istration, it is but just that they should com ply with its demands. Please send us the name of somo reliable, leading Democrat in your town whom we can confer with hereafter. Address, Ferris M. Brown, Jun. Washington City, (D.C.) 185G. Instead of sending the "three dollars" to Washington, as requested, the gentleman ad dressed sent it to us to pay for ten copies of the Campaign paper! ' This may bo taken as a significant "sign of the times." Fremont in Webteeh Pennsylvania. Tho Erie Constitution, a calm and unexcitablu print, says, that it is frequently interrogated in re gard to its views of the prospects of Fremont in Pennsylvania, and adds, we believo firmly that he can carry the State, but do not assume to give figures for any but that portion In which, we arc intimately acquainted with the state of popular feeling. In Erie county we shall cer tainly have 2000 majority; Crawford not less than 1-300, and possibly 1800; Warren over 50O; in Venango 500; Mercer probably 700 ; Lawrence 1000; Butler 700 ; Beaver 600; Al legheny -1500 ; Westmoreland is confidently claimed for Fremont wo name no majority ; Washington S00 ; Fayette 600; Armstrong 8'K); Indiana 2000; Jefferson 300; Clarion and Greene will probably give majorities for Bu chanan. The counties ftamed gavo Pollock lG,-300 majority, and according to onr esti mate, which is certainly moderate, they will give Fremont not less than 17,500. All the indications arc that our majorities will greatly exceed, in many counties, the figures we have claimed. If the campaign is conducted with the energy and enthusiasm which the signs in dicate, there is little doubt that the counties embraced iu our list will roll up a clean ma jority of 20,000. It must ba borne in mind that the counties where the Hcpublican gains are largest, have always been heavily 'Demo cratic. In the same territory, Tierce had near ly 3,000 majority iu 1S52. Smn they Come ! A Voice from Buchan an's Home! The Independent Uliig, of Aug ust -3th, printed in Lancaster City, Fa., 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 Drnmore shoemaker, who has address ed hundreds of Democratic meetings, and has heretofore been engaged as a spoaker over tho State. He was a member of the Buchanan County Committee of Lancaster, and his let ter is addressed to the chairman, resigning bis pott. Ho says lor the last twenty years he vo ted the Democratic ticket in Lancaster coun ty, but as the Cincinnati Convention bad re pudiated the Democracy of Jeflerson and Jack son, by endorsing the sectional measures of tho Pierce Administration, and adopted a plat form destructive in its character to tho wholo country, he cannot consistently" support either it or its nominees. The Wug says Mr. John ston is but one of Bcores of "old line Demo crats" in Lancaster county, who repudiate tho Cincinnati platform and its nominees. Gkeen Corn Omslet. The following recipo for this seasonable delicacy is said to be ex cellent: Grato the corn from twelve cars of corn, boiled, beat up five eggs, Etir them with the coin, season with pepper and salt, anJ fry the mixture brown, browning the top with a hot shovel. If fried in small cakoe, with a littlo flour and m:!k stirred in to form a bat tel, it is very nice. Another Democratic Bolter. lion. Mark. Delahay, a delegate to the Cincinnati Conven tion from tho State of Illinois, made a speech at a Fremont and Dayton mooting, at Monte zuma, Pike county, on the 18th ult. lie said he attended the Cincinnati Convention, and was in favor of Mr. Buchanan, but, when bo saw him swallow the platform, ho bolted, and now advocated the election of Fremont.
