Freemen of Clearfield county ! This is the
List piper that will reach you from this office
before the October election, and we therefore
admonish you to consider well the part you
will act on next Tuesday. In this election arc
involved Important results. The issues have
been presented to yoti from time to time. On
ike one-side is a party advocating a policy, or
rather a series of policies, which, if carried
into effect, would in our opinion prove detri
mental to the great vital interests of our coun
try, and the welfare and prosperity of our na
tion. The extension of slavery over territory
consecrated to freedom, is the most prominent
of these policies the acquiring of new terri
tories, peaceably if we can, but forcibly if we
must, is another the reduction of the wages
of laboring men to a ruinous standard of pri
ces, was -a favoritn theory, of the standard -bearer
of this party and a truckling sit,-
Jl9faining these views and policies. Will
..you do it t
On the hand, we have a'party with sound
conservative principles. A firm adherence to
the Constitution and the Union, opposition to
the extension of the blight of human bondage
over free territory, to the acquiring of more
territory ly force, to the reduction of wages
to a ruinous standard of prices, to the princi
ple advocated by the Southern supporters of
Buchanan that slavery is not confined to color,
and a mair.taiuance of the principle that slave
ry is sectional and freedom national, ars views
that we think every lover of liberty and Amer
ican institutions should entertain, and which
we ask the freemen of this Commonwealth to
encourage and support, by casting their votes
for the Union State Ticket, and lor the Union
Congressional and Representative candidates.
It will devolve upon our next Legislature
to pass a law districting the State and appor
tioning the members of the Senate and Lower
House. It will also devolve on the next Le
gislature to elect a IT. S. Senator in the room
of Mr. Brodhead, whose term expires on the
4th March, 1807. The importance of electing
the right kind of men to the Legislature, must
- therefore be apparent to every one.
Freemen ot Clearfield County ! We urge
yon once more to turn out next Tuesday and
Vote for the Union State Ticket !
Tote for the Union District Tickets !
Vote for the Union County Ticket !
LC02 OTJT FOS LYING PAMPHLETS.
There are a number of lying pamphlets in
circnlation, intended to injure the prospects
of Col. Fremont, and to ad vancc the cause of
Buchanan. Among these i3 one entitled
"Fremont's Romanism," which for -silliness
and falsehood surpasses anything we have ever
seen. Mr. Noble, of Wisconsin, in his speech
es at Cnrwensvillc and in this place, stated that
two weeks before, in answer to his interroga
tory, Col. Fremont had declared to him that
he was not now, nor never had been a Roman
Catholic. And yet men, who pretend to be
honorable and honest, persist in circulating
what they know to be false. It is also raised
as an objection that Cel. Fremont cat mule
oup, when he and his men were in a starving
condition. Should he at present relish the
dish, the writer of the above named pamphlet
bad better keep out of his way, for his produc
tion shows that he is tho most consummate ass
that ever was permitted to run at large.
JTkemoxt Meeting at Cuerrttree. On
Tuesday, the GOth Sept., a spirited ineetiDg of
the friends of Fremont and Dayton was held
at Cberrytrcc Borough, Indiana county. .Not
withstanding the rain was falling in torrents,
the number present amounted to about 500.
Lt. Govi Roberts addressed the People in the
evening. He was listened to with marked at
tention, and was frequently loudly cheered
Much enthusiasm was exhibited and the friends
of Freedom bavo the brightest prospect of rol
ling jip.a hrg vot .in thnt c!kn.
"SUBBING TTT THE AHIHALS."
It was certainly an interesting sight to wit
ness the commotion produced among the
clique of politicians, who act as special guar
dians over the affairs of James Buchanan Plat
form in this town, by the speeches of Lt.Gov.
Roberts, Mr. Noble and others, at Curwens
ville on the 27th, and in this place on the 29th
Sept. During Tuesday and Wednesday, there
was a constant 'ran' to the office of our down
town neighbor," and it was notoriously ap
parent that Roberts and Xoble would receive
particular "fits" from these "mighty ones of
earth." The Republican had to be kept Kick
one day, in order that everything could be
properly attended to. In consequence of this
detention, public expectation was on tip-toe
to hear what would be said, and we acknowl
edge that the feeling extended to ourself. At
last, Thursday came, and with it the Republi
can. Bui, alas ! the mountain that was in la
bor, brought forth an insignificant mouse !
instead of the powerful, logical aud erudite
criticism which we anticipated the speeches
would undergo by so learned, sapient and pro
foundly truthful a corps of reviewers, we had
to content ourselves with reading a rehash of
stale phrases and an indulgence in misrepre
sentation, villification and abuse, for which the
Republican has become proverbial in this com
munity. We do not deem it necessary to refute the
many specious statements and perversions of
the language of our speakers, which appear in
the Republican. We will merely touch one or
two. In regard to Mr. Xoble, tho Republican
says "To prove that Congress had been in
" tho habit of legislating on the sidz of slave
" ry in the Territories, he cited an act of Con
" gress of '94 or 'OS." Xow, what Mr. Xoble
did really attempt to prove was, that Congress
had been in the habit of legislating on the ju!
jeet of slavery in the territories, and not on
the side of it, as stated by the Republican.
"Again says the Republican he took the
" ground that property is made such by law.
" Whereas the reverse is the case. In Pennsylr
" vania, negroes or slaves, are not property,
" because it is against law to hold slaves."
Mr. Xoble held that property was such by
universal law, by natural right that negroes,
on the other hand, are made property by local
or special enactment. Any one can discern
the perversion. Such is the trickery resorted
to by men who set themselves up as paragons
of political honesty. .
DECIDEDLY EICH!
The Clearfield Republican says that James
Buchanan does not 'favor the extension of
slavery to Kansas, or anywhere else." Well,
if that isn't rich, then we miss our guess.
Our down-town "neighbor" shouldn't become
facetious about his candidate on a point of this
kind, for if his paper should happen to fall in
to the hands of Bully Brooks or the editor of
the Richmond Enquirer, jt might produce a
sensation among the "chivalry" and "first fam-
iUu''iiW South, more particularJvJ(il
should be aprrtTaiTyti. ..-"
wtmtor mgicr, who, in turn, occupies the
same interesting relationship towards Mr. Bu
chanan, and which might therefore give to our
" neighbor's" declaration the appearance of
having been made "by authority." At home
the joke of the Republican is well understood,
and will do no harm, for almost every child
knows that the platform, into which James Bu
chanan has subsided, is a slavery-extending,
as well as a fillibuster-favoring, allair. There
might, however, be some "method in his mad
ness," and wc shouldn't be surprised if our
down-town "neighbor" would next assert that
Buchanan was standing on the platform of the
Republican party. Out upon such arrant hy
pocrisy ! say we.
SHOWING THE LONG EABS.
We are amused every time we behold the
contortions of our down-town "neighbor" at
the large number of people at our meetings,
which he incessantly labors to disparage. . It
is, however, an up-hill business with him, for
the honest people trill turn out and hear for
themselves, even should he exert himself to
keep them away. He well knows that if the
questions arc presented in a fair and truthful
light, and the position of "ten-cent Jimmy"
properly understood, that his cause sutlers.
But the most supremely ridiculous thing of all
is the attempt the editor of the Republican
makes to put on a bold front aud look as if
all was right as if he wasn't scared and that
he would frighten everybody else. Every
time we sec the effort, we are reminded of the
fable of the ass who put on the lion's skin and
roamed about endeavoring to alarm everything
with Lis appearance; but unfortunately when
he attempted to roar, he only emitted a bray,
and thus revealed his true character. So with
our "neighbor" lie tries to look valiant and
formidable ; but his constant pitiful whining
about our meetings, betrays his real feelings,
and shows plainly that he and his party are
badly frightened.
"What a Wiiopper !" Our down-town
"neighbor" says the number of persons pres
ent at the Curwehsville meeting did not reach
600. We heard one Loco say there were 800,
and another counted 9G8, besides those eating
at the different hotels. There is a "whopper"
out somewhere, and wc are disposed to think
the individual who counted, does not tell it.
"Why our neighbor will soon be a match" for
a famous and somewhat ancient personage fa
miliarly known as "old Xick." -
Fire. On last Thursday evening, as Mr.
John Troutman was heating some Japan var
nish, in his unfinished house, the material ig
nited, and in a moment the whole room was in
a blaze. By immediately closing the door,
and then dashing water on the fire, he suc
ceeded in extinguishing it without its doing
any other damage than breaking the glass in
the windows and charring some of the wood
work. It seems almost miraculous that the
house was not destroyed, and should serve as
another warning to oar citiaena to procure an
I fpgint. '
BEWARE OE FALSE BEP0BT3.
That is a truthful, if it is a trite adage, that
"It is hard to teach an old dog new tricks,"
and it is brought to our mind by thJnduct
of the Locofoco -wire-workers, who are again
busy at their old game of circulating false re
ports and slanderous documents, on the eve of
an important election. They are resorting to
every siecies of trickery to defeat our candi
dates, and wc mentioned last week that one of
their leaders boasted that they had "a game"
up now, by which they would win. All this,
together with the unusual and straiuing efforts
which they are making, by holding meetings
and otherwise, indicates plainly that they are
terribly frightened and we think they have
good cause for being scared. - Be on your
guard, therefore, Americans, Republicans, and
old line Whigs, for every effort will be made
by the Locofoco leaders to induce you to vote
against the Union State, District and County
Tickets. We have an abiding confidence in
your integrit-, and we feel certain that you
will treat these false reports and vile roorbacks
of the Buckanicrs with that virtuous disdain
which they must inspire in every honest frcc
man's heart.
FREMONT'S RELIGION.
From the Xew York Evangelist, Sep. 18.
It is not our business to enter into tho strife
of politics. That is not our vocation, and we
have religiously abstained from such contests.
Xor shall we depart from this line of strict
propriety. But we arc sometimes appealed
to fcr information as to matters of fact, by
readers who imagine . that we have special
means of knowing the truth.. In such a case
we are willing to tell what we know not for
the sake of party, but of truth. This we may
do without sacrificing our neutral and inde
pendent character. If we can help to correct
an error, or to disabuse the public mind of a
false impression, we are doing a service to
right-minded men of all parties. We do not
urge our readers to vote one way or the other,
but wc do wish them to vote intelligently.
It is well known that one of the candidates
for the Presidency has been charged w ith be
ing a Roman Catholic. To this story we nev
er give the slightest importance, considering
it as one of those bald falsehoods which were
fabricated for a party purpose, and which
would drop into oblivion, and be despised, as
soon as it had served its object. But as the
originators of the story cling to it with great
er pertinacity, thinking it a very effective
weapon to excite odium and prejudice, some
good men have thought it worth while to set
the matter at once and forever at rest. Cler
gymen of this city have been applied to by
members of their churches, and by letters
from abroad, to make personal inquiry, since
the public would have entire conudence in
their statement, knowing that they were not
Lkely to be deceived themselves, and that
they could have no motive to misstate the fact.
Thus appealed to a number pf Clmnirnrn
CiynuectT'hwTlh any political question, called
on Col. Fremont for the purpose of a frank con
versation in regard to his rcligioiis profession
and belief. This they did not for their own
personal satisfaction for not one of them
had a doubt about the matter but simply
that they might be able to satisfy others by.
an assurance from his own lips. Among those
who went were Rev. Dr. De Witt, of the Dutch
Reformed Church ; Professor llenry B. Smith
and II. D. Hitchcock, of the Union Theologic
al Seminary ; Rev. David B. Coe, Secretary
of the Home Missionary Society, and one of
the editors of this paper. Rev. Henry M.
Field. . They were received with great cor
diality, and Col. Fremont responded very
frankly and cheerfully to their inquiries.
When it was remarked that some of our
good people were disturbed about his relig
ion, he replied, smiling, that he was glad that
his opponents were willing to admit that he
had some religious feeling that he was not
wholly indifferent to Christianity. One of the
ministers inquired if the account of his eat ly
religious education and ol his joining the E
piscopal Church, as given in Bigelow's Life
of Fremont, was correct ? lie replied that he
had been born and educated in the Episcopal
Church; that he had been confirmed as a mem
ber of that Church, and had never had a shad
ow ot a thought of leaving it.
When allusion was made to the persistent
assertions that he was a Catholic, ho replied
that he could not imagine how such a stoiy
took its rise, for that in fact he had hardly
been inside of a Catholic Church more than
half a dozen times in his life, and then upon
occasions of public interest or of curiosity.
All this was said very quietly, and with no
apparent desire to intrude his religion or to
make capital out of it, but to state the simple
fact of his religious education and belief. Xo
one could listen to this frank yet modest state
ment without feeling that it was perfectly in
genuous ; and that, with no bigotry towards
others, he was sincerely and unaffectedly at
tached to the religion ia which he had been
educated by his pious mother.
Political Straws George W. Hoover of
Lawrence township, this county, returned

way things are moving. "The

The Republican don't like the doctrine of
white slavery as promulgated by the Richmond
Enquirer and other co-workers for Buchanan
in the South. In another portion of this pa

THE NEW.' DEMOCRATIC" BOCTMNE.
Slavery not to he Confined to the Nerro Sace,
tut to be Made the Universal Condittoa of
the Laboring Classes of Society.
The people of the Free States have so long
yiulded to the arrogant demands of tho Slave-
Oligarchy in the South,that the latter has come
to think it can carry any measure it sees fit,
no matter how'degrading it may bo to the char
acter of the free u hife men of the North.
Xot many years ago, the Southern slave
holders were content to have their "human
chattels" protected ia the States where tbey
held them. ' ' ' : -
Xcxf, they demanded and secured fire Slave
States from acquired territory, (Louisiaua,F!o- i
ri-la, Arkansas, Missouri, and Texis.) while the
Free States have only secured f;ro, low a and
California.
Xcxt, the Slave power demanded all the ter
ritories, and broke down the Missouri Com
promise, which secured a part of those terri
tories to free labor.
Next, they demanded the right to come into
there States with their slaves whenever they
choose, and stay as long as they please ; and
the United States Courts seem about to yield
to them, and grant this outrageous demand.
But the last, the crowning, the diabolical as
sumption is, that Slavery is not to be confined
to the XEGRO RACE, but mr.st be made to
include laboring WHITE MEX also. This
doctrine, which is so monstrous and shocking
as almost to seem incredible, is now openly a
vowed and defended by very many of the news
papers and of the public men of the South
that support James Buchanan. The doctrine
is also proclaimed by some Xorthern newspa
pers of the so-called Democratic party, b;;t
not generally with such boldness as in the
South. To show the exact extent and nature
of the doctrine of enslaving WHITE MEX,
the following extracts from Buchanan papers,
and from the speeches of Buchanan men, are
given :
The Richmond Examiner ono of the leading
Democratic papers in Virginia, ardently suit
porting Mr. Buchanan, holds the following lan
guage in a late issue :
"Until recently, the defence of Slavery has
labored under great difficulties, because its a
pologists (for they were mere apologists) took
half-way grounds. They confined the defence
of Slavery to mere negro Slavery i thereby
giving up the Slavery principle, admitting oth
er forms of Slavery to be trrca.
"The line of defence,however,is now clmug-s
ed. The South now maintains that Slavery is
right, natural and necessary, and 'tots not de
pend upon dijference of complexion ! The laws
of the Slave States justify the holding of
WHITE MEX in bondage.''
The Charleston3Jrcttn, the leading Buchan
an paper in South Carolina, says:
"Slavery is the natural and normal condi
tion of the t a boring man, whether WHITE or
Mark. The great evil of Xoi therucfe socie
ty is, that it is burdened with a servile class of
MECHANICS and LABORERS, wfit for self
rent and child; and the Xorthern States niff
yet have to introduce it. Their theory of free
government is a delusion."
There's "Democratic'-" doctrine furyou,with
a vengeance ; "our theory of free government
a delusion," "laboring men, whether while or
black, to be slaves ?" Verily, matters are coin
ing to a pretty pass with us.
The Richmond (Va.) Enquirer, Mr. Buchan
an's confidential organ, and considered by the
"Democratic" party as its ablest paper in the
South, speaks as follows in a recent number:
"Repeatedly have we asked the Xorth, 'has
not the experiment of universal lil.ertv FAIL
ED ? Are not the evils of FREE SOCIETY
INSUFFERABLE ? And do not most think
ing men among you propose to subvert and re
construct it ?' Still no answer. This gloomy
silence is another conclusive proof, added to
many other conclusive evidences wo have fur
nished, that free society, in tho long run, is an
impracticable form of society ; it is every
where starving, demoralized, and insurrection
ary. "We repeat, then, that policy and humanity
alike forbid the extension of the evils cf free
sociefy to new people and coming generations.
"Two opposite and conflicting forms of so
ciety cannot, among civilized men, co-exist
and endure. The ono must give way and cease
to exist. The other become universal.
"If free society be unnatural, immoral, un
christian, it must fall, and give way to a slave
society a social system old as the world, uni
versal as man."
And the South Side Democr-if, another pro
minent Buchanan paper, in Virginia, whose
editor was supported for Clerk .of the House
of Representatives, ly the Democratic num
bers of the present Congress T. J. D. Fuller,
of Maine, among them abuses everything
FREE after this style :
"We have got to hating everything with the
prefix FREE, from free negroes down and up
through the whole catalogue FREE farms.
FREE labor, FREE society, FREE will, FREE
thinking, FREE children, and FREE schools
all belonging to the same brood of damna
ble isms. But the worst of all these abomina
tions is the modern system of FREE Schools.
The New England system of fiee schools has
leen the prolific cause and source of the infi
delities and treasons that have turned her ci
ties into Sodoms and Gomorrah, and her land
into the common nestling-places of howling
bedlamites. Wc abominate the svstom because
the SCHOOLS ARE FREE." "
The Washington Union, the National Organ
of the "Democratic" patty, says that the hon
est and heiolc FREE LABORING MEN of
Kansas
"Are aMISER ABLE, BLEAR-EYED RAB
m.t, who nave been transferred like SO M
NY CATTLE to that country."
The New York Day Book, one of the wo
papers in New York City that support .nws
Buchanan, proposes to enslave poor ElII
CANS, Germans and Irish, whomiy'a" 'nto
poverty and be unable to support f'ir fami
lies. Here are the Day 'BookS ex wrds n
speaking of the POOR WHITE:opLE :
"Sell the parents of these 1,ill,rcn ino
SLAVERY. Let our Legislrre Pass a lav
that whoever will take these rfv-,S alld take
care of them and their OFFKIJNp 'n sic!i"
ness and in health clothe"-'"1' fee1 them,
and house them-. shall fleSal,y entitled to
their services ; and let the ,n,e Legislature de
cree that whoever rece8 eso Parents nd
thei! CHILDREN, antains fheir services,
shall OWN. THEM AS LONG AS THEY
LIVE." -
The Richniond Enquirer, of a very recent
date, contains the following very 'high opin
ion of the people of the North :; j
"We can bring the capital employed in
manufactures, and most of it employed in com
merce, South, when we please. We can trans
fer Manchester, and Birmingham and Lowell
to the South, and thus in a single year, quad
ruple the wealth of the South. Dut we would
not have your rich, vulgar, liccniious bosses.
and your brutal, ignorant aud insulordinafe fac
tory hands in our midst, for all the wealth of
"Ormtis and of Ind." Wo are as rich cs wc
care to be. We would not exchange our situ
ation for the vulgar sensuality and brutality of
the "nouneavx. riches," the coarse parvcnties,
the millionaire cotton factors and grocers of
the North or of England, much less for the
countless million of paupers and criminals, who
lift up and sustain the c:u arlly, sctnsh, sensual,
licentious, infidel, agrarian, and revolutionary
edifice of f ice society."
The Muscogee, Alabama, lleraiJ, an enthu
siastic Buchanan paper, delivers itself as fol
lows :
"Free sociefy ! we sicken at the name.
What is it but a conglomeration of GREASY
MECHANICS, FILTHY OPERATIVES,
SMALL FISTED FARMERSand moox strixk
TUtoRisrs ? All the Northern and especially
the New England Statcs'are devoid of society
fitted for' well-bred gentlemen. The prevail
ing class one facets with is that ol mechanics
struggling to be centeel, and small farmers do
ing their own drudgery; 3nd who are not lit
for association with a Southern gentleman's
(nigger) body-sorvant. This is yonr frea so
ciety which the Northern hounds are endeav
oring to extend into Kansas."
So much for extracts f:oi:i "Democratic"
newspapers. Now for a lew lio:a Democratic
speeches :
S. W. Downs, late Democratic Senator from
Louisiana, in an elaborate and carefully pre
pared speech, published in tho Washington
Globe, says :
"I call upon the opponents of Slavery to
prove that the WHITE LABORERS ol" the
North are as happy, as contented, or as com
fortable, as the Stares of the South. In the
South ti e slaves do not suffer one-tenth the
endured lv the white laborers of the
North. Poverty is unknown to the Southern j hio. from a report of which wc make 'the fy!
slavc ; for as soou as the master of slaves be- j in" extract :
comes too poor to provide for them, he SELLS , " ,;.;,,., ,lf ihi. tinrtr t,,.,
them to others, who can take care of them.
lr.is, sir, is one ot t;ie excellencies ol the sys
tem of slavery, and this the superior condi
tion of the Southern slave over the Northern
WHITE laborer."
According to Mr. Downs, then, (good Dem
ocratic authority.) all ti:at the Northern white
laborer requires is somebody to sell him when
he falls into poverty. Admirable philanthro
py ! Beautiful democracy ! !
Senator Clemens, of Alabama, declared in a
speech in the Lr. S. Senate, that
"The operatives of New England were not
as well situated nor as comfortably off as tne
slaves that cultivate the rice aud cotiou fields
of the Sjuth."
In a recent speech by Mr. Reynolds, Pierce-
Buchinau-Demoeratic candidate lor Congress
from Missouri, that gentleman distinctly r.s-
s.Ttcd th.U
1 j - n i ... nii'in-
ment in excluding foreign-born citizens Ger
man cud Irish as well as niggers.
Here a Missouri Democrat classos German
and Irisi indiscriminately with Xcgro slaves.
Mr. L. II. Goode, another Atchison Demo
crat of Missouri, ia a recent speech ag iinst the
Free Slate men of Kansas, denounced the la
boring men as "WHITE SLAVES !"
Senator Butler, (the uncle of "Assassin"
Brooks,) a shining light in the Democratic ga
laxy, declared in a speech in the UnitedStates
Senate this session
"That men have NO RIGHT TO VOTE un
less they are possessed of properly, as required
by the Constitution of South Cuiolina. There
no man can VOTE unless he owns TEX NE
GROES, or real estate to the value of Ten
Thousand Dollars.
And this is the doctrine "Democracy," so
caile 1, would introduce into Pennsylvania.
JAMES BUCHANAN, the Presidential can-
didate of the men and of the party who hold
these odious views, advocated the doctrine of
reducing the WAGES of AMERICAN OPE
RATIVES and LABORERS to the Euiopean
standard, which is known to be about TEN
CENTS A DAY. AVhut a lit candidate Mr. Bu

This Virginia Buchanan organ, speaking of
the friends of Mr. Fillmore at the SoiHj,
says :
"The people of the South sre not prepare-l
for all litis. The best among them are aL
" ready taking their places anion;- thoss who
advocate the election of James Buchanan,
" leaving to vote for Millard Fillmore, th
traitors who deserve the halter, the tdfish whi
ll seek the spoils, the stupid who cannot ecmpn
" head the calls cf duly, and the prejudiced u ho
' wuul I ru:n the South, sooner than aid the Dt
" vwcrctic party in the achicvcir.tnl of a Jfca-
did victory over the Black Republicans. .J
" precious crew they are at the South who folium
the fortunes cf Nitlard 1'illmart.'".- ; ,
In another article, in its issue cf the san.e
date, after enumerating the persons who hav
been expelled from the South upon the suspi
cion of abolitionism, it proceeds to advocate
the expulsion from Virginia of all those who
are suspected of heterodox opinions upon tLat
question. But hear it speak of rights in that
land or liberty :
"With these evidences oi practical interft;.
" rence with slavery, wc are told by scmi-abo-"
litionists in this State that there is no dan
" ger that slavery ia the States will be inoles
" ted, and our intimations that this is possible
" are rated as humbug and charlatanry. The
" f.:ct is we ccunat hope for better things while
" t.f a are tolerated in a Southern community,
" who occupy Ihe same petition of hostility to
" the South xchich is muiiitaiued by every Bluck
" Ripf blicT.i at the Xorth. Yet such are staik-
ing abroad in the community, who cWm ex
" t-uiption from the punishment inflicted ou
" incendiaries, because they leside in Virgi
"rda. Such men are more to be bated and
" f.-arod, aud deserve severer punishment than
" the vilest Abolitionist ot the- North. They
" are hypocritical pretenders, wolvesin sheep"
" ciothin?,- venomous vipers, aud should bo
" crashed without pity."
This is the kind ol talk the organs of Bu

our country rapidly to destruction. But why
do I speculate upon what it would do 1 Long

There was a "solemn convocation of Buchan
an leaders at the New York Hotel, on Thurs
day night last, at which Mr. Slidell, the disu
nion Senator from Louisiana, was the princi
pal actor and orator. Tiic great question of
the evening was, how can Pennsylvania be
saved to the Democracy. Mr. Slidell said
that it could be so saved by raising $30,000 in
New York. Without this sum, the State
won Id inevitably go for Fremont. This is put
ting the old Keystone Sate, with her twenty
seven electoral votes, nt a very cheap rate. It
is stated that the Buchanan Democracy spent
l million of dollars in Maine, prior to the Life

one-twentieth part of that sum. The South
ern money and the Southern speeches had a
very extraordinary effect in Maine, and Penn
sylvaiiia has a right to look, for an equally lib
eral outlay of both. We have plenty of South
ern orators enlightening us in regard to our
duties. Cannot the State be supplied with
more than fifty thousand democratic dollars t

AuotiTrov versvs RtrrnncAN-. The Octo
ber number of the Radical Jlbolilionisl is en
tirely dexoted to an earnest appeal to the en
emies of slavery not to vote for Fremont, on
the ground that the Republican party is not
in any sense, or to any extent, committed to
the doctrines of abolition, and that it cannot
be relied on to do anything whatever to pro
mote the overthrow of tlarery. It stys :
"The Republican party is not a party for
the uelivcrence of the enslaved, but only for
the security of the free. It is not a party for
the black man, but only for the white man. It
ts not a party for the rescue of the w hole coun
try frym the despotism of the slave power, but
only (or the rescue of Kansas."
IL.llowars Pills, a Cure for Sick Headache
and Bile William Kancrs, cf Dover. Maine,
was perhaps, one or the greatest sufferers from
sick headache and bile, scarcely a day passed
without his feeling the dreadful effects of theso
fonoidable evils, he put himself in the hands
of the doctors, but they did him no good, in
fact, he became worse, until his sufferings
wete niore-than human nature could bear, and
he almost tunk under them ; fortunately for
him he commenced using Holloway's" Pills,
which acted upon the system, cleansed tho
bowels; cleared the head, and by persevering 4
with them f jr eight weeks, thoroughly restor
ed him to health. He has ever pince been en
tirely free from these dreadful attacks.
