Autumn and Eternity.
How. O Aiimmn ! shall I dare
To paint thy clorious heirs'
Thr softness of thf mornine. air.
Thine evening's pearly dews!
The solemn grandeur of Ihy night.
Whose starry crown is set
With (terns mnre radiantly bright
Than earthly coronet!
The rry of thy sunset hour,
When all is calm and
firings full conviction of the Power
Thai heaven and earth uVes fill ;
Oh ! who can naze upon the kies.
As twilight sha les ihrra o'er.
And not from eanlily dreaming rise.
Their Maker to a. lore !
The wreath of fa !me summer flowers
Is yet upon ihy brt-wr.
But all the mirth of Summer hours
Is changed to satinets, now;
And yet, upon ihat dying head
A solemn beamy lies.
More gloiious than the riches spread
'.eaih Summer's glowing skies.
Etrr, () Autumn! liah Hum be
To u an emblem meet
Of spirits snikins peacefully
To slumber calm and sweet ;
Though Ihy rlelighis not long may last.
Yet ourn shall still uicrea-e:
Thu reign be so..n for ever past,
But 'ir shall i.ever cease.
Ah ! not like thee shall pass a-ay
The Christian's hope and joy;
Ve look for an eternal dav.
And boss without alloy
Foi glories hid from m r.tl sight.
Revealed in realm above
For fadeless crown ol henveuly light,
Aud perfeclness of love.

ADDRESS to the Members of iho Lcwisbunr Repub
lican Association, aud to all interested in its designs.
Fellow Citizen's. The olijcct ot our Association
Is not yet acrouijilislieJ. It lias pleased Providence
that a minority of the voters tliroiiirli our circuitous
method of choosing the President should entrust the
Government for another term to men who inherit the
policy, and are bound to walk iu the footsteps, of an
Administration which was lately loaded with almost
unanimous execration. But, thoiiirli not in all things
successful, wc are not beaten, or, if beaten, we arc not
discouraged. It was not for a selfish or a transient
purpose that we banded together. Permanent aud
vital interests arc at stake, and while a word may yet
be spoken for the Right, against the Wrong, we ought
not to be foil n 1 wanting.
With those views, ue have judged it best to continue
our organization. with slight modifications, and we call
upon you to co-operate with us. By .so doing, we may
cultivate the geruw of political truih which havo
recently been sc.ittered among us, (more profusely and
more effectually I ban wait ever lone lIbre on a single
occasion,) and bring them to a glorious harvest hereaf
ter. We propxse to continue this good work.and add to
our former methods the advantages ol a Reading Room,
where the community may have access to the leading
organs of public sentiment both North and South, and
learn for themselves what are the f.icts aud tendencies
of political movements.
Is is our desire also that like Associations should be
formed in every borouirh and township, or in adjacent
Boroughs and Town-hips, throughout this and other
Counties and States. If then these can be connected
'with County organizations in ail the counties, and
these again with Central Associations for the States,
we shall have a ready channel for the circulation of
intelligence, and an instrumentality for future action,
the want of which in a f.'w of the Free States was
the principal occasion of our recent disappointment.
Meanwhile, there is much for us to do. It is to be
feared, indeed, that nothing now, short of a general
uprising of the North in its physical might, can deliver
Kansas from that doom to which ruffians and tyrants
have destined her a doom darker and more bloody
than tnat of Poland, Hungary, or Koine bro't about,
too, by a more flagrant violation of every civil and
political right, than entered into the brain of a Cataliue
or a Benedict Arnold. But we can, at least, help to
load Congress with petitions for her admission as a
Free State, and watch that her enemies gain no advan
tage over her which diligence on our part could avert.
Other great questions pertaining to Slavery, mu9t
engage the alteuiion of this and the nest Congress.
The Annexation of Niciragua as a Slave State the
Acquisition ol Cuba the Re-opening of the African
Slave-Trade with its inseparable and for ever accursed
horrors, are all openly and earnestly demanded by
those who have been eh.cfly instrumental in the eleotion
of Mr. Buchanan : while it is plainly implied in the
tenets which have been ratified by a majority of the
Electoral (uot, thank Clod! of the popular votes, that
all barriers to the transfer of Slaves into our yet Free
States, arc unconstitutional, and must be got out of
the way! Here, surely, is matter grave enough to
require our frequent and united consideration.
And while the occasion for our watchfulness and
energy is urgent, the encouragement is great. Our
desire for the immediate elevation of Fremont to that
post which he would have honored, is thwarted, but
when we reflect how nearly wo succeeded, and under
licpublican CVasociatiou.... Constitution.
ART. I. This hal b called the Rejiublic:in Association," the objects of
which are the admission of Kansas into the National Uninii as a Free State, and generally to
prevent the spre.id of human Slavery in all Territory under the care of Congress and into the
Mates now Frre ; also to prevent the importation into our country of ptupers and criminals
from other Nations, to secure the strict observance of our Naturalizitimi Laws, and frustrate
the undue I'olitic.il influence of Komau Catholicism. At the same time, we disclaim all inten
tion of interfering with Slavery in the States where it now exists, or with the religious privi
leges of any portion of our countrymen.
AltT. II. The means to accomplh these aims, shall be by public addresses, and by the
diasetninanon of truthful aud patriotic reading matter.
AK l". HI. Any citizen of of the age of sixteen years or upwards, may become
a Member of this Association by signing his name to the Constitution.
AR T. IV'. The Ollicers of this Association shall be a President, four Vice President, a
Correspoiiiling Secretary, a Keconling Secretary, and a Treasurer, wni shall be elected
annually by billot, a majority of the Memliers present being necessary to cons-itute a choice.
The Association may aUo app tint other Officers as from lime to time may seem expedient.
AttT. V. The dunes of the Officers shall be to call aud provide for special meetings, to
procure documents, and generally to conduct the affairs of the Association.
ART. VI. Funds shall be raised by voluntary contributions, and paid out by the Treasu
rer only ou the written order of the President attested by the Recor ling Secretary ; but tbe
Secretary s, , j3sue u0 or(ert Ulless fur necessary incidental expenses, without the concur
reuceuf at least two Vice Presidents.
A R T. VII Reul ir qu irterly meetings of the Association shall be held on
evening ot ihe months of
ART. VIII This Constitution mty be amended at any quarterly meeting, by the tote of
two-thirds of tho Members present, provided such amendment shall be proposed at least one
month previous.
ART. IX. The Association may adopt such By-Laws as it shall deem proper, provided
do not conflict n-ith this Constitution.

liiion, a Star County!
By reference to tbe full returns of the
Presidential Election, it will be Seen that
the little comity of UNION is the only
one in Pennsylvania except on the Nor
thern and Western tiers which gave a
clear majority for Fremont ! Buchanan
carried every other county iu tbe Central,
Southern, atld Eastern portions of the
State. Fillmore did not carry a county in
our State. Lebanon's vote for Fremont
was only 97 behind that for Buchanan
I and Snviikk lacks but 241 votes to have i.
ru ij iriiy for Fillmore.
The turitory comprising the prescn
county of I'niou, (exclusive of Jackson
and Union townships, which, being divid
rd townships, we cau not compare,) gavt
470 tn;.j. against Fierce iu '52, aud
I against liigler in 54; now, 523 agaiust

our voters have done remarkably well. !

stunk, Fast aud Wear Huff aloe, have
done nobly, considering their losses from
removals. Miffl nlurg, Jackson and New
Berlin hold their own j and White Deer
and Union fall somewhat behind. Only
15 "Straights" in the county !
While we are proud to rank little Union
with tbe Frcmott counties of the Key
tone Slate, and with the Republican
-States of the Union while we point to
her isolated niajoiiiy for Fremont as an
hounr we attribute it to the wise forecast,
enlightened judgment and inflexible patri
itism of her owu people. Almost siuiul-
aueuuly, tbe majority in every borough
uij tuwuship declared us with one voice
tor Fremont and Dayton as our Stand
ard bearers. And allho' not us active as
.he fiieudsof Buchanan, yet our friends
it an early day held meetings, circulated
he Tribune aud other lit publican papers
ud docutueuls, and perfected an ellcetive I
; ,f uot coumletu orirauizutiun.
The result ;
our cuuuty aud elsewhere demou- 1
strates that if all the opponents of the
odious Pierce dy nasty bad uuiied aud
labored at we did, Slavery and Popery I
would not to-day be grinning iu triumph j
uor sueering and joking Over the outrages
p rpetiated,witu and without authority, on
our brethreD iu unhappy Kansas ! I
We also give, iu cuuueciiou with our I
owu, the vole for President, iu detail, in j
what circumstances we failed, wc may well be prond of
our effort. One year ago, the Republican Party had
no distinct organization. Within this time, it has
pained the Speakership of the House of Representa
tives, published its doctrines to the world, drawn over
to itself the lights of both the old parties throughout
the North, circulated a very large amount of truth
illustrative of the true interests of the country, and
maintained so even a conte.-t with the dominant party
at the polls as to bring it to the very brink of destruc
tion. Four years ago, that party carried its candidates
into power almost by acclamation. Two years ago, its
Representatives felt themselves strong enough to break
down the time-hallowed Missouri Compromise, against
the judgment of the whole land. Now, after being
made to tremble for its life, it renews its lease of the
offices and plunder of the nation, by the will of much
less than half the actual number of voting men. Among
these it has counted on its side, the Southern oligarchy
and freedom haters generally, the Roman Catholics
almost to a man, and the Mormons, the reprobate
throng of the Five Points, and most of the rowdies of
nil our large cities.while every State and every county
in each State, in which schools Iibvo flourished for tho
good of the people for two generations, and where
general intelligence most prevails, has in the same
proportion rnst its suffrages aruiust them. Looking
therefore at what we have accomplished in so short a
time against such odds, at the strength to which we
have grown, and the weakness to which our antagon
ists are reduced, we may confidently feel that another
such defeat would be a glorious victory.
Let us, then, work on. With a pure and holy cause,
a single object of which is to hinder 800,000.000 acres
of our national domain from becoming stealthily the
prey of a few slave-holders to the exclusion of free labor
bo ib North and Souih with the intelligence and con
science of our own people, and the opinion of the civi
lized world, clearly on our side let us hold on our
selves, aud train our children in a steadfast adherence
to liberty and justice, and be found ready in their
behalf for any emergency which may arise.
Should our fears be disappointed in regard to the
course of the in-coming Administration should Mr.
Buchanan deceive bis Southern supporters as sorely us
he has heretofore his Northern ones should he.though
Iiledged against it, be more faithful to the interests of
freedom than he was to the Protective jiolicy of '42,
though p'edged in favor of it we will not maintain a
factious opposition to him when right, but rejoice in
his propitious inconsistencies, and praise that Provid
ence which causes not only the wrath but the roguery
of men to praise Him and further His ends. The most
that can be looked for of this kind.is.not that the great
contest should be decided, but only postponed. Iudeed,
the war for which we have entered is in its nature
eternal aud irreconcilable while the hostile principles
of the freedom and the servitude of labor stand face to
face, and can never be composed to even a hopeful
truce, unless Slavery shall be content to abide quietly
iu the position to which the fathers of our government
assigned it.
Wc ask all.then.who realize the momentous and far
reaching issues before us, to unite with this or a similar
association, and seek by cool, thorough, systematic I
efforts so to disseminate light and truth, that all who j
can hear and all who cau read shall be disabused of 1
their erroneous prejudices against Republicanism, and
become convinced of the justice and policy of our prin- j
ciples, and of their adapiclness to the real wauls of i
the two counties with which we are most
intimately connected Snyder and North
umberland. Id those counties, tho leading
opponents of Buchanan preferred Fillmore,
and Fremont bad do organ until too late
ia tbe campaign to be of much avail. We
are not aware that a distinctive Fremont
meeting was held in Snyder county, or in
the lower end of Northumberland ; while
in many districts Fremont was only known
to be personally abused and polit'ca'ly
misrepresented. The Buchanan party also
made far greater efforts than tbe combined
opposition. The result is, we bave done
our full share in Union, while in those
sister counties we havo lust.
We refer to this subject not in any
invidious or fault-finding spirit, but as
reasons for our opinion that tbe Republi
can cause is uot ouly just, but will be
popular so fast and so far as it becomes
truly known. "Truth is mighty and will
prevail." And we commend to general
attention, the foregoing form of a Repub
lican Association. Let this or a better
Platform be adopted, and Associations
organized covering such territory as niny
be deemed expedient. "Take Time by
the forelock" then, in four years.the free '
ciiizuns of Central Pennsylvania will be j
found voting with their brethren iu tbe i
Northern and Western counties, and will I
sympathize with the Free North, Fast and
West, and not with the Nullificrs, the I
Repudiators, the Slave-breeders, and the
Border Ruffi -m of the South !

threats from tbe ltepublicaos that tbey
will diasolve tbe Uuion, as Democrats
tbreatened to do if FremoDt was elected.
All (be Soutbcro States Lave gone in
body for liucbunan, except Marylaud.
All tbe Nor i hem Siaies except four, bave
gone for Freuiout, aud tbe popular major
ity a'aiust Iiuchanan in tbe North is
4U0,0U0. Tbe four Northern States tbat
Bucbauau bas carried, lie next to Slave
States, and each tbows large Republican
majority in its Northern half, while the
Southern part goes strongly tbe other way.
To understand the deleterious influence
tbat the neighborhood of Slavery seems to
exert, it must be borne in miud that many
Slaveholders live in tbe Free States. Thus,
S'epben Arnold Douglas is Slaveholder; j
Senators Bright and Brodhead are Slave
holders ; Gov.Geary,of Kansas,is a Slave
holder; a majority of tbe pew bolder in
tbe Iter. Dudley Tyng's church in Phila
delphia, are Slaveholders ; and Ernst us
Brook, of tbe New York Expreu, and C.
L. Ward, Chairman of tbe Dew. National
Committee,are both raid to be sUveaulJera i
Slaveholders from choice, mercenary slave- :
holders, such as Northern owners of hu-;
man chattels are, of course will go for any-
thing tbat promises to increase jhe value
ot their property, and such men we see
make tbe most pliant doughfaces, and go
strong for Sham Democracy and Slavery
extension. Many of tbe wealthy mer
chants, manufacturer., mechanics, hotel
keeper, and others living near ihe line
of Slave States, become creditors of the
planters, and oficu take bills of sile of,
slaves, or mortgages on that kind of pro-!
perry, as security fur their debts. Thus a '
large body of influential men become inter-'
ested, not ouly in sustaining slavery, but ,
iu increasing the value of Slaves; and
they use their influence to induce others
sn to vols bb o peomntB ffhpie Intprpatu
Many of the money-lenders in New York j
and Philadelphia, bold mortgages on plan
tations in Southern States, and are eager
to have new markets opened in Kansas
and elsewhere so as to raise the price of,
"niggers" and increase the profits of their
plantations. It will thus be seen that a
large part of the pro-slavery vote in the
North comes from those who bave s per
gonal interest in slave property.
But in addition to this influence, two
others were at woik, Fillmoreism and bri
bery. It is an unquestionable fact tbat
many hundred thousand dollars were ex
pended to carry Pennsylvania for Bucha
nan, and doubtless it was the same in In
diana and Illinois. This "corruption fund"
