"A Correction."
" Mr. Lewis has published us in his sheet
a self-convicted perjurer,' justice to ourself
and the community demands our action in the
matter, and as the only means left us, we de
mand from Mr. Lewis, editor of the Hunting
don Glode, a correction of his slanderous
libel.—Samuel G. Whittaker, alias Gabe Jr.'
Gabe is very forgetful of his conduct. He
will not deny that he voted at two or three
elections some two years ago ? That he held
a borough office under oath? And he will
not deny that some months after he had vo
ted and held office, he published the Bible
"Family Record" which showed that he was
not of age at the time he voted and took the
oath of office? If admitting that he voted
illegally, does not make him "a self-convicted
perjurer," morally considered, will he 'rise
and explain' to the satisfaction of all who
look upon the act as one very unbecoming a
man who has any pretensions to honesty?—
Rise, Gabriel, and let thy trumpet be heard!
The Feeling of the People.
A. cotemporary remarks that, never before,
in the history of our country, have the nom
inations of candidates - for the Presidency and
Vice Presidency been received -with such
unanimity - and gratification by the people, as
those of JAMES BUCHANAN, of Pennsylvania,
and JOHN C. BRECKENRIDGE, of Xentucky.—
When we look at the peculiar circumstances
which now surround us as a, nation—at the
fierce and unholy war which is being waged
by fanatical and intolerant demagogues
against the Constitution—against the rights
'and liberties of a portion of our fellow-citi
zens—when we look at the inroads they have
already made upon the peace of the people,
and the sanctity of our laws, can we wonder
that the masses—ever loyal and true—should,
arise in the might of their majesty, and gather
around the champions of those principles
which secure to them the perpetuation of
their liberties ? It is a principle of the hu
man heart to seek shelter when danger ap
proaches—and communities and countries
throb with the same imbred idea of self pres
ervation. Hence, the people, realizing the
dangers which threaten the temple of their,
liberties, look for shelter- from that party
Nvhich has, its life-long, battled in defence of
the Constitution. It is this motive which has
compelled the gallant PRESTON and noble
DICKENSON, of Kentucky, to fall in love with
the Democratic creed; and it is for the same
reason that the people will, next November,
endorse, with a unanimity never before real
ized, the standard bearers of the time honored
faith of JEFFERSON.
Ratification Meetings.
The Democracy are everywhere ratifying
the nominations of the Cincinnati Convention
'with the most unprecedented enthusiasm.—
The democracy of Norristown celebrated the
nominations of BurnaNAN and BRECKENRIDGE
by a grand ratification meeting, on Wednes
day evening. The assemblage was large, and
the greatest enthusiasm prevailed. A,fine
band of music was in attendance, and dis
coursed most eloquently. Resolutions en
dorsing the nominees and the platform. were
passed unanimously. The meeting was ably
addressed by Hon. JOHN CADWALLADER and
Hon. WM. H. WITTE, of Philadelphia, and
Col. J. ZEIGLER, of Butler county.
A grand ratification meeting took place at
Ebensburg on Tuesday evening. The Dem
ocrat & Sentinel says "it would be difficult to
describe the
,cordial satisfaction, the heart
felt joy, the radiant confidence which pervade
the people of Cambria county since these
nominations. Many of the incidents of the
meeting were calculated to .excite emotion.—
We were honored by the presence of the ven
erable Judges, Noon and Murray—men who
have grown gray in the service of the Democ
racy—who have steadily battled in the ranks
since the early days of Jefferson. In addi
tion to the inspiring remarks of those talent
ed Democrats, McDonald, Smith, Heyero
Rhey, Pershing and Hasson, we were anima
ted by the speech of Michael Dan Magehan;
heretofore known as one of the most conspic
uous old line Whigs in the State, and as one
of the boldest, most energetic; but at the
same time, most honorable opponents of the
Democratic party-. A man without guile, and
.above -contealment, he is henceforth to be
reckoned among the ablest and most enthusi
astic advocates of Mr. Buchanan and we are
sure. that his vigorous blow will tell.during
the coming campaign, and that his example
will not he without gratifyingeffeets. •
We learn that an enthusiastic meeting was
also held at Johnstown, on ,Saturday night,
where speeches were made, and the best feel
ings prevailed." Roll the ball
The Party for the Country and the Men
for the Times.
"God give us Men; A time like this demands •
Strong minds, great hearts, true faith, and ready hands;
Men whom the love of office does not kill ;
Meri Whom the spoils of office cannot buy ;
Men who possess opinions and a will ;
Tall men, sun-crowned, who live above the fog
In public duty and in private thinking."
Give us, said our Democratic friends pre-
Vious to the Cincinnati nominations, give us
such party champions for our leaders and
banner bearers in the coming contest, and no
possible combinations of factions and inter
ests can successfully oppose us. The work
is done—the great end is accomplished. Men
tried as steel, true as the magnet to the pole,
men against whom even the envenomed
tongue of party bigotry and intolerance can
find no unguarded spot to malign—have been,
with perfect unanimity and almost unexam
pled enthusiasm, nominated for the highest
office in the gift of a free people. The long
cherished hopes of the great and loyal State
of Pennsylvania, are about to be 'realized. 'So
sure as the day dawns and his life be spared,
so sure will March 4, 1857, witness the inau
guration of JAMES BUCHANAN as President of
the United States. Our political opponents
are equally assured that this is a " fixed fact,"
as we are ourselves. To doubt it, would be
to doubt the evidences of our senses, and to
deny the firmest convictions of our reason and
understanding.
This, contends the Pennsylvanian, the ex
igencies of our country imperatively demand.
In his hands, the public have an undoubted
assurance that our great constitutional rights
will be safe. The whole of his public life
affords the strongest guarantee that all that
freemen most love, willbe scrupulously guard
ed and preserved. The language of the Hon.
D. S. DICKINSON, in his late letter to the Com
mittee in Philadelphia, upon that point, is
almost prophetic. He says, "The Democracy
and the whole Conservative element of the
country, will rejoice in the selection of Mr.
BUCHANAN, because he is a Statesman and
not a political spoilsman ; because he has ca
pacity, learning and experience becoming the
station ; because his name will guarantee re
spect and justice from abroad, and insure do
mestic repose ; because he has wisdom and
integrity to maintain, inviolate, the rights of
the Sovereign States, and preserve the Con
stitutional Union." This is as eloquent as it
is just. It is this which brings the eminent
leaders of the late Whig party, everywhere,
into such hearty and zealous support of the
Cincinnati nominations. To Mr. BUCHANAN
the great, interests of Capital and Labor can
be committed with unwavering confidence.—
To his keeping the best interests of the Far
mer and the Manufacturer can be entrusted
without the remotest suspicion of dangel.—
The country needs safety—its whole interests
demand proteetion ; protection under the
xgis of the .Constitution. Capital demands
pzotoxtion against the fluctuations of fanati
cism. Labor demands protection against the
terrible inroads of frenzy, disunion and civil
war. What does any true patriot require at
the hands of the National Executive, which
the long unsullied political and private life of
Mr. BUCHANAN does not fully justify us in
promising to be strictly fulfilled, when eleva
ted to the eminent position to which he will
be called by the overwhelming voice of a free
people ! •
The Coming Sickness
The Medical Specialist says:—The germs
of pestilence are-hatching in the elements.—
Everything points to the approach of a sick
ly summer and autumn. It should, therefore,
be
. the care of every person to preserve the
several functions of their body in full tone:
Disease falls first upon those whose organism
is already disordered through their own ne
glect. Guard well against constipation, and
its opposite. Eat nothing indigestable.
A
void all green and half matured vegetables
and fruits. Pay strict attention to the clean
liness of the surface of your bodies; 'and
above all begin the work of purification about
your yards, and 'in your houses . early; and do
it thoroughly. Cleanliness, simple diet, and
regular habits will form the strongestprotec
tion against the coming epidemic. As no
man - can tell• where the arrow of death may
fall first, he is the wisest who first puts his
house in order.
THE REPUBLICAN CONVENTIONS.—The Re
publican State Convention assembled yester
day, at the National Hall, and endorsed the
nominees for State officers of the Union Con
vention, at Harrisburg, last March. • Resolu
tions were offered in favor of. McLean for
President and Fremont for Vim President.
A motion was made to reverse the order of
the names, but the Convention adjourned
without any action upon them, the 'resolution
having been previously withdrawn.
The National • ConVention of Republicans
meet to-day, at the Musical Fund Hall, to
nominate candidates for President and Vice
President. A great many delegates arrived
yesterday in the various trains, and the Con
vention will be largely attended. The pro
ceedings are regarded with a great deal of in
terest.
THE ANTI-FILLMORE CONVENTION of "Ame
ricans" in New York, themselves seceders
from the National Conirention, have in turn
suffered a secession—the New Jersey delega
tion haVing 'left the Convention, yesterday,
because the party had been sold to the Re
pUblicans as they 'alleged. This secession
caused considerable feeling; hut the Conven
tion settled its business by nominating N. P.
Banks, (the present Speaker of the House of
Congress,) for President, and William F.
Johnston, (formerly Governor of Pennsylva
nia,) for Vice President. The New Jersey
seceders held a Convention afterwards, and
nominated Corn. Stockton for President, and
Kenneth Rayner, of North Carolina, for Vice
Presidept.—P7tiladelphia Ledger, 17th.
Hon. John C. Breckenridge, the Demo-
cratic Nominee for Vice President
If anything could have added to the gen
eral gratification produced by the selection of
Mr: BucHANAN for the Presidency ; it would
have been the exceedingly appropriate and
satisfactory nomination for the Vice-Presi
dency. No man of his.years "occupies at-this
moment a prouder and more enviable position
before the country than Mr. BRECKENRIDGE.
On his entrance into Congress a few years
ago, as the successor of the immortal CLAY
in representing the Ashland District, he was
subjected from that circumstance to a sharp'
scrutiny, which resulted, greatly to his honor,
in the general conviction of his worthiness
to occupy the post which had long been adorn
ed by that great man. Mr. BRECKENRIDGE'S
eulogy on the character of Mr. CLAY was as
able and effective an address as was ever de
livered on the floor of Congress, and was uni
versally admired as one of the most appro
priate tributes ever paid to departed great
ness.
Though young in years—he is now but
about thirty-five—he has already deservedly
won many honors and distinctions, and many
more, we trust, are still in store for him. He
is the son of CABELL BRECKENRIDGE, a dis
tinguished lawyer, and the nephew of the cel
ebrated pulpit orators, Jowl . and ROBERT J.
BRECKENRIDGE. When quite young he was
elected to the Kentucky Legislature, and du
ring our contest with Mexico, he accompa
nied the celebrated Kentucky regiment, in
the rank of Major, to the seat of war, and
bore himself gallantly through that struggle.
Soon after his return, he' was elected to
Congress, and then re-elected, after one of
the most desperate contests, in which the
sympathies of the whole country seemed en;
listed, ever known in the United States.—
Among his congressional associates he was
universally esteemed for his manly, bearing,
his statesman-like abilities, and great orator
ical powers.
President PIERCE voluntarily tendered him
a few years since, a very honorable position,
we think the mission to Spain, which he de
clined and we believe he also declined run
ning a third time for Congress, but we are
glad another opportunity is presented by the
action of the Cincinnati Convention, of secu
ring the country the services of so able, pat
riotic, and distinguished a man.
Rarely, indeed, have the people of this coun
try been presented with a better ticket than
that formed . by our two illustrious nominees
—BUCHANAN and BRECKENRIDGE. They are
both worthy of the fullest confidence of the
country, and both men whom all may feel
proud to_ vote for.—Pennsyleaniait.
Reeder on the Kansas War.
The Albany Argus and Atlas- publishes a
private letter from ex-Gov. Reeder.. to -the
Hon. Galusha A. Grow, which embraces a
powerful exposure of the fact that the leaders
of the rebellion. in progress there are aiming
simply and knoNVingly
,to subvert the au
thority of the United States in,the Territory.
That while admitting among themselves that
the Territorial government is the rightful au
thority there, - mld, that as such it should be
obeyed by all good citizens, they neverthe
less have agreed among themselves to deny
these facts when addressing the public, and
to stimulate the vicious, thoughtless, and
lawless in the Territory to the work of labor
ing to uproot the government by fire and
sword. If any one doubts these facts let him
read the following extract from Jieeder's let
ter to Mr. Grow :
"As to putting a set of laws in operation in
opposition to the territorial government, my
opinion is confirmed instead of shaken. My
predictions have all been verified so far, and
will be in the future. We will be, so far as
the legality is concerned, in, the wrong, and
that is no trifle in so critical a state of things,
and in view of such bloody consequences;
and it will be an invitation to the 'powers
that be' to bring down the Missourians upon
us in the assumed character of vindicators of
the law. What consumate folly is there not
in such a move? You will have seen Pierce's
message. Suppose we had occupied the
ground I wished, of the mere adoption of the
constitution and election of officers, only for
the purpose of applying for admission, what
ground would Pierce have to. stand on, or
how much of his message wc,uld have been
left ? He is not the only man who is'back
ward and lukewarm towards us. For this
reason they say they cannot sustain us in the
position of resistance to the territorial gov
ernment, and, you Will find, I think,,that
Douglas will also take that round;;; I
' ut
want you to. understand me distinctly that
do not speak thus publicly to our enemies. I
may speak my. plain and private opinion in
letters - to our friends in Kansas, for it is my
duty; but to the public, as you will see by
my published , letter,, I show no 'divided
front."
Gov. Reeder's sensible advice has been dis
regarded, and the consequence is. that the
Abolitionists have drenched the Territory in
blood. It was the plain duty of the authori
ties to execute the laws at all hazards, in do
ing which they met with armed resistance,
which armed-resistance has already become
a civil war, the Abolitionists being now en
gaged all over the Territory as armed bands
in plundering, burning and murdering all
supposed to be opposed to their'schemes who
are surprised in a defenceless attitude.
Missouri Erect.—The St. Louis Democrat,
the organ of the Benton Democrats, enlists
heartily in support of Buchanan and Breck
enridge. This is right, and Democratic. It
is the duty of every man, who calls himself a
Democrat, to abide by the decision, of the.
National Convention and 'support its riom:-
inees, and we are glad to see that the Benton
Democrats of Missouri, • spite of all alleged
causes of complaint, intend to support the
ticket with hearty enthusiasm,
The Old-Line Whigs and the Demobratic
Nominations;
We believe we approximate very near the
truth when we give it as our candid opinions
says the Georgia Flag of the - Union, - that'
fully twenty thousand Oldr.l.iine Whigs .in
Georgia will vote for the nominees : . of the
National Democratic party. They are melt,
who believe there is a principle at issue—a
vital principle—and believing the National
Democracy most able and willing to assert
and maintain that principle, they cheerfully
yield to them their co-operation. We notice,
with pleasure, the accession to the Democracy
of Florida; in the person of Major B. A. Put- .
nam, long an able Whig in that State. At a
late Democratic ratification meeting in St.
Augustine, Major Putnam was invited to ad
dress the meeting. We take the following
from the official proceedings - •
"While the Committee was absent. Major
Putnam was invited to address the meeting.
Major Putnam thereupon addressed the meet
ing, defining his position as that of a mem
ber of the former Whig party, opposed alike
to Black Republicanism and Know-Nothing
ism, and desirous of shaping his political ac
tion as to best subserve the "interest of the
country and of the South ; that although
still a ;Whig, in sentiment, he was satisfied,
upon a careful consideration of the subject;
that duty to the country and fidelity to the
principles he had always maintained required
him to aid the Democratic party in the strug
gle with those opposing isms—satisfied, as he
was, that on the Democratic party alone
could the country rely for the maintenance of
the Constitutional guarantees of the South ;
that he should, therefore, come weal, come
woe, cast his lot, his aid, and his influence, in
the coming contest, with the Democratic par
ty, and support its nominees.
"That lie hoped Millard Fillmore would
not accept the nomination of the Know-Noth
intr. s ; but if he did, it would be his ruin. He
made a searching, examination of the plat
form of the Know-Nothing party, and brought
into striking significance its hollowness and
speciousness in whatever it claimed that was
good, and its intolerance towards the Roman
atholics, and its proscriptiveness towards
the foreign-born citizens of our country, and
expresseC his astonishment that any of his
formerpolitical friends (many of whom were
present) could be found in the ranks of a
party hostile to their upon the score of their
country and religion, and which would allow
them nopblitical privileges. His remarks
were received with continuous applause, and
at the conclusion it was moved and carried
unanimously that the thanks of the meeting
be tendered to him for his address, and three
cheers were given."
The Great Meeting in 'New - 'York
The people of the great metropolis of the
Empire'State have spoken! - A mass meeting
numbering (some say) fifty thousand persons,
assembled on Wednesday evening, to ratify
the nominations made at Cincinnati. Nobly
was, this done—gloriously was -the duty per
formed. There was a host of eminent gentle
men present, from different portions of the
State, and froM every quarter Of the . Union.
All were actuated by a - common impulse, all
governed by a.common patriotism; all united
in a common effort to preserve the Constitu
tion from the hands of the disorganizers who
would trample its sacred guarantees in the
dust.
The Daily _Yews has the following appro
priateiernarks in relation to this mighty de
monstration of popular feeling : •
THE VOICE OF THE PEOPLE
"The earnest enthusiasm and overwhehn
ing numbers of the people of New York, who
assembled yesterday in the Park to prove
their devotion to democratic principles by
sustaining the Democratic nominations, were
truly encouraging. The puny conventicles at
the Tabernacle of the Abolitionists shrink in
to insignificance before this mass gathering
of men who required the solid ' earth to sus
tain their heavy tramp, and over whom the
canopy of heaven formed a fitting roof. Could
freemen find a firmer platform than their
country's soil—or a nobler symbol of justice
than the eternal stars which looked down on
them ?
We are convinced that the Union senti-;
ment is stronger than any sickly, puling af
fectation, got out of Uncle Tom's Cabin, or
lying Kansas reports. It will show its
strength by the linking of every constitution
al .element in. the State for the election of
James Buchanan for the Presidency. The
voice of New York, the Empire City, was
unequivocally uttered last evening, and not
one could mistake its meaning. • , The popu
lar will of New York has decided in • favor of
popular-sovereignty in the Territories, and
will secure a triumph •on this principle for
the candidates of the party which propose to
contend for its establishment.. The ratifica
tion,was complete, unanimous and overpow
ering. .
Addresses *ere made by severa,l dis.tin
guishecl gentlemen. Hon. Thomas -Butler
King, of Georgia, one of the ablest most
influential leaders of the late Whig party, in
the , Sonthein StateS, UnheSitatingly endorsed
the Democratic "nominations," and
.said-L7-
He predicted 10,000 majority for the par
ty in November, in the State of Georgia. He
was an humble member of the late Whig
Party, and yet could conscientiously stand
on the Cincinnati platform.
If there is a man who desires to maintain
anything in opposition to that platform, he
wishes to do that which would tend to the
dissolution of the American Union. [Cheers.]
Therefore, if you regard the peace, of our
glorious Union as the greatest boon ever be
queathed from Providence to man, you will
go forth in this canvass determined to sup
port the candidates of the Democratic party
at the Cincinnati Coniention. The platform
must be triumphant, and continue to guide
the destinies of our Republic. The candi-:
dates are well known, Buchanan's knowl
edge of foreign affairs will insure peace
abroad, Of all men who have distinguished
themselves in, our public councils, he. is the
representative of constitutional principles.—
He is eminently qualified to be our chief
magistrate. [Cheers.] The demonstration
to-night, will-assure the South that the North
is in favor of the perpetuity of the American
Union. [Cheers.]

Opinions,oi the tress.
From the Pittsburg Journal, K. N.
Candor compels us to confess that as a
choice of antagonists we should have pre
ferred: the,: nomination of - either Pierce or
Douglass to that of Mr. Buchanan.
Either of the twain, it appeared to us would
have been more easily beaten than Mr. Bu
chanan ;- and besides, we• could have wit
nessed _the discomfiture and disgrace of either
Pierce or Douglas without -pity. Mr. Bu
chanan we are not at liberty to despise. He
gentleman of as much private excellence,
alehe is a statesman whose reputation, we
once took occasion to say, was one of our
valuable possessions.
From the Pittsburg Dispatch, "Republiento
The Democrats have succeeded in effecting
a nomination, and for the first time in the
political history of the nationput in the field
as a standard hearer a Pennsylvanian. We
are pleased and surprised at the nomination
of James. Buchanan. Ibis success we trust
has destroyed the efficacy of the " two-thirds
rule" in slaughtering the statesmen, for the
benefit of the fifth-rate men. of the party—
inaugurated a new era in the history of the
Democracy. Although his opponents con
sider him the strongest, they also look upon
him as, one of the least oijectionable of the
prominent men of the party, and the one
they would prefer, if compelled to choose a
President therefrom. .
The candidate for Vice President also
seems to us a good selection. Mr. Brecken
ridge of Kentucky, is highly spoken of as a
gentleman. The ticket is certainly a strong
one—and it will require union, and great
care in the choice of candidates by its oppo
nents, to defeat it.
The neutral and independent press, with
out exception, so far as we can see, express
satisfaction at the nominations, and testify to
the gratification felt by the people at large.
,
From the Baltimore Sun, Independent.
"Our citizens generally of other political
views congratulated the Democracy upon the
selection of their candidate. his eminent
talents, distinguished public services, irre
proachable life and manifest popularity, are
high qualifications with which to enter upon
the campaign."
From the New York Mirror, Fillmore
"Mr. Buchanan is a man of eminently re
spectable character and talent, and the very
best and strongest man the Democrats could
have named. He- will be a hard candidate
to beat."
From the New York Journal of Commerce, Independent
." The selection of Mr. Buchanan will tend
to strengthen the public faith in the fitness
of the people for self-government."
From the New York Commercial, Whig
"Perhaps no gentleman whom a Democrat
ic convention could have nominated, would
have commanded more respect from the coun
try at large than James Buchanan, of Penn
sylvania. Personally, he is entitled to and
will command respect."
From the Louisville Courier, a leading Whig paper in Ken
tucky:
"Buchanan is eminently safe and reliable
—a man peculiarly fit for the times and the
crisis—a man who will honor the presiden
tial chair . , and ensure for himself and the pc,-
Sition, ;respect from abroad ; while •the young
giant of the .[;kshland'aistrict (Breckenridge)
is eminently _worthy of the honorable post as
signed him—an honor rarely indeed accorded
to one of his years. The ticket is one strong
iri all, its ,arts. It cannot be charged with
being a kangaroo ticket, with all the . strength
in one end. tyhe candidates are not men un
known to fame. They both have national
reputations, and they both
,haye been thor
oughly tried in the balance and not found
wanting. Thus much we feel it an honest
duty to say."
.i'A'Js*l
WAsuviuTox, June 14, 185 G.
The nomination of Buchanan and Breck
enridge gives to the:people here, as it appears
to do every where, most unalloyed satisfac
tion, and no cloud of doubt 'rests upon the
public mind as to 'the triumphant success of
that ticket at the polls in 'November. The
letter of acceptance published by the friends
of Mr. Fillmore, came like a "clap of thun
der from a cloudless sky"—no one appearing
to entertain the slightest idea that he would,
under all existing circurn qnCes, venture to
accept the dreary honors '0 defeat for the
sake of a Presidential contest.
Instructions to the authorities 'of Kansas
are no* on their way, Whioli 'will, it is to be
hoped, restore peace td that distracted locali
ty, and, inaugurate a now reign of law and
order where treason and rebellion' now stalk
with bloody tread. Gathering confidence
from the considerate forbearance of. the Ad
ministration, the fanatics of the country have
suppdsed that their partial. humanity from
punishment thus: far. has arisen from fear or
imbecility on the part of: those whose duty it
is' to see that the "laws aro faithfully egemi:- .
ted," - but I am greatly misinformed if they
are not soon to be andeCeied in thisresPek
The time has now. passed by forthe applica
tion of half-way measures.: .Nothing but the
most 'adequate measures for tha"suppression
of the treasonable rebellion now raging in
Kansas will satisfy the patriotic and conser
vative people of the country, and convince
the • rebels themselves 'that there is a power
in the GOVernment which is ever adequate to
the sustension of law and the certain pun
ishment of its violators.
Respectfully, AN OLD-LINE WHIG.
THE INDIAN WAR IN OREGON.-AS far as is
heard, the Indians in Oregon continue to be
very hostile, and to commit depredations on
the settlements, and even to be making sure
headway.' •As is usually the case with these
frontier-wars, there is provocation and exas
peration on both sides.• Thero are accounts
of some very unjustifiable and cruel acts per
petrated by the more civilised' whites; and,
doubtless, the savages display all the innate
vindictiveness of the nature.
This Oregon war must be ended like simi
lar Indian wars. A • strong force of United
States troops should be employed at once to
restrain any excesses of our own people, and
to strike terror into the Indian by an inevita
ble manifestation of vengeance and power.
The Republican Convention
The P hiladelPhia..Evening' Argus of June
17th, says : We expect to see fun , during the
continuance of the gathering, Considerable
fribufatiOn on the part of the delegates, and
very small result.
Meantime, we state u few facts for the edi
fication' :of these gentry. The New York
Commercial, an old line - Whig journal, has
hauled down the Fillmore flag since tbatgen
tleman's letter of acceptance has appeared.
The Commercial is of opinion that Mr. Fill
more has virtually ignored the existence of
the Whig party, and 'declines support as
Whig." - It therefore - urges . a
Whig National
Convention to determine the course of the
Whigs in the coming contest; The Irkeetirtij
(Va.) Intelligencer, an -old line "Whig lotir- -
nal announces its intention to support Itu- ,
chanan "and Breckenridge, on the groundl
that the contest will be between them and
the Republican nominees. The Georgia
.Flay of the Union says that fully twenty
thousand old Line Whigs in' Georgia will
vote for the nominees of the National Demo
cratic party. There are men who believe
there is a principle 'at issue—a vital principle .
—and believing the National Democracy most
able and willing to assert and maintain that
principle, they - cheerfully yield to them their
co-operation. The- St. Louis Republican by
far the most influential Whig paper pub
lished west of the Alleghenies, endorseS the
nomination of Buchanan and Breckenridge.
It says :
"The fact cannot be disguised that, when
the nominations were announced here.Tespec
tively, theyappeared to give general satisfac
tion. The old line Whigs are' rallying, and
and their influence will be felt somewhere in
the present distracted state of political par
ties; and it is unnecessary to say that it will
be where the country most needs a friend."
- These facts show the Republicans that
'they have work to perform; and whether their
nominee be Judge McLean, Col. Fremont,
Senator Chase, Corn. Stockton, Mr. Speaker
Banks, Gov. Johnson, or Geo. Law—whether
they unite or not, the hand writing is already

It is no matter of trifling considerationand
importance that those who know a man best
should eulogize him most. More especially
is praise to be valued when it is extorted
from a political opponent. The Lancaster
[Pa]. Express, a Know Nothing Republican
paper, published in the immediate neighbor
hood of Mr. 33nenANAN's residence, is corn-
Polled to bear testimony to his unbending in
tegrity and blameless life. After a few intro
ductory remarks, the Editor proceeds and
say s:—
"We know the man as one of our most respected fellow
citizens—a gentleman of unblemished personal integrity.'
and unusually agreeable manners in his social intercourse
with all classes. We know him as
_a friend of the Poor—
as a perpetual benefactor of the poor widows of this city,
who, when" the piercing blasts of each successive winter
brought shrieks of cold, and lmnger and want, intim frail
tenements of Poverty, could;apply to the "Buchanan Relief
Donation" for their annual supply of wood,' and sitting
downrwith their orphaned children in the cheerful warmth
of a blazing fire, lilt their hearts in silent gratitude to
Grid, and teach their little Ones to bless the name of James
Buchanan. Asa citizen, a neighbor, a friend—in a word,
as simple James Buchanan, we yielded to no man in the
measure of our respect and esteem; and were he still be
fore us as simply-James Buchanan—as her was. a cow years,
and when he and we occupied the same broad Jeffersouian
repUbliCan platform—when at least one of the Editors of
this paper voted with him year after year. the same De
mocratic ticket—then ours would be the more pleasing
duty of supporting instead of opposing the election of our
esteemed fellow citizen and neighbor to the highest office
in the gift of the American people, and the highest posi
tion of political distinction in the world."
SerThe Know-Nothing Councils of Phila
delphia refused the use of the - Hall of inden
dence for the reception of the Hon. JAMES
BucuAxix, on his return from his mission to
England. The New York Journal of Com
merce says_ the people will now furnish him a
hall in the White House,•which will be "suf
ficient for all practical purposes."
