that they would be aroused to the importance of
" predating an unexceptionable ticket one that can

' Vhe people will only take the matter in hand them-

A uniting of the friend of Fremont and Day

as officers. John W ilhams q., as President,
Johu E. Koberts, William Wherry, and;D. II
RobertP, "We Presidents ; I). J. Jones and Ed
ward K-'lxrtS, S scretariea. After the meeting
whs fully prgauized, amotion was made, that the
President state the object of the meeting; which
he did in his usual off hand style. A committee
of five'werc appointed to draft resolutions express
ire of the sense of the meeting ; and during the,
absence of the committee, Mr. R. C. Lewis was
called upon to address the meeting, who made a
very brief speech, frequently interspersed with
stale and worn out stories, and why, be left
the democratic nartv. and that he was still Round
on the goose question.
A Mr. Barker of Carroll township, and former
ly from the state of Maine was next called on,
who spoke at some length, confining himself prin
cipally to yantee stories, and women's- rights
which kept the audience from sleeping or leaving
the meeting.
A man named Trice lately imported from one
of the Guss Houses in England, was called upon,
who, informed the audience that it was necessary
for him to read his speech ,as he was endowed with
i an active brain, words flowing from him so rap
i idly as not easily to be comprehended, leaving
i tha audience to infer that he was really more
i than au ordinary man, not wishing to be taken
for a sap-head, which was the general opinion.
! The meeting was quite respectable, owing to
the fact that it was chieily composed of democrats
who went thereto get a glimpse of &m aud Sam
bo. Maj. Jos. Bernhard.
As noticed last week our friend llaj. B :rnhard
has declined to le a candidate for re-election to
our State Legislature. We need uot to say Low
this determination on hi part is rcgietted bj the
people of the district.- lie was n member useful
to his constituents, and the legislature certainly
contained tie honester man. We hope that the
sterling Democracy of little Fulton w ill present
an e iu.dlv reliable Democrat, in his stead.
Testimony from the.ilisrht Quarter,
Weteake. the following extract from a speech
made
at the great ratification meeting in
Philadelphia y
I have told you that I came here to bear
my testimony to the importance of this great
electoral question ut the present time, and in
all truth and sincerity I have done so
The Democratic party have nominated as its
candidate for the Presidency, yourwcll kuown
and universally esteemed fellow-citizen, JauieB
IJuehanan. aud for Vice President, a citizen
,' of Kentucky, Johu C Breckinridge, worthy j
i by hU talents, and services, and character, of j
the confidence indicated by his selection. j
And their election will be at once the test of I
the strength of our party and the pledge of '
its Uuiou, and also of its stability. Well j
then, may I say, that the election is a moi.icn- j
tous one. So momentous, indeed, that the .
pera'juai ciaiius ui luc vu-i.vo utmost lade

ablest and purest, and most experienced of t lie
' statesmen of our country, fitted by his nuali

ncations to nil and adorn 11s ui&hest station.
The Executive Government will be safe in his
hands. Abroad, he will maintain our rights
and our honors with decision and firmness,

j national courtesy ; and at home his guide will

of every section of the Republic. The name
of an American out of tbis country will be a
passport of honor, and within it will be a
guarantee of constitutional rights, so far as
regards tho general government, which no
man will touch with impunity. And he will
find the colleague we shall give hiai, (Mr.
Breckinridge) a faithful co-adjutor in the same
great cause. I say the colleague wc shall
give him. for they both will be elected: The
decree has gone forth, and it may be read in

these considerations, while they furnish confi
dence for hope, furnish also motives for ener
getic action. We shall enter the contest, not
for victory, that as we see unerrin-indications
promise, but for the cxtcut of that victory
nor for a majority, but for the numbers be

What Trill Clay Whigs do 1
What will those true and tried National
Whigs who always rallied when Clay or Web
ster blew the charge, do in the present con
test ? Will they join the standard of the Con
stitution and Union, or will they' mere e with
one or the other of the miserable factions which
are striving to destroy the Republic ?
r IIknuy Clay once said : y '.;. t rj -:
" Whenever the Whig party :shall become
merged into a miserable sectional Abolition
party, J iritt renounce it foreter, and in future
act with that party, regardless of its ' name,
which stands by the Constitution and the U
nion." ,.
Such were also the sentiments of Webster
and, following in their footsteps, llcrcs
Choatb and Robkrt C. Wiktheop, two of the
most faithful and prominent Whigs in the
Union, besides hosts of others, have declared
for Buchanan and the Constitution.
Will not the remnant of the old Whig par
ty, which has always stood aloof from the dan
gerous isms and fanaticism of the times, do
likewise ?

Gentlemen : I have received vour letter
of the 13th inst., giving nie official informa
tion of my nomination by the Democratic Na
tional Convention, for the office of Vice Pres
ident of the United States. I 'feel profoundly
grateful to the Democracy for this distinction,
so far above my merits and expectations, and
accept the the nomination, with the pledge
that if it should result in imposing on me
auy public duties, I shall exert whatever pow
er I possess todiichargc then with fidelity.
The Convection wisely selected for the first
place, in the Government, an eminent states
man, whose character and public services fur
uish a guarantee that his administration will
command confidence at home and respect
abroad.
The platform adopted by the Convention
has my cordial approval, 1 regard it s the
only basis on which the Union can be preser
ved in in its original spirit Adopted as it
was by the unanimous votes of the delegates
from all the States, it shows that amidst the
distractions of the times there remains one
united organization , whose common principles
extend over every foot of Territory covered
KvrtLciedmljions &GuNYit$
v.v, wtacm w tue coyuniry a national orga
nization, we may justly congratulate the States
upon the unanimity which marked the pro
ceedings of the Democratic Convention-and
the patriot may point to the fact as a pledge
of constitutional Union, that the delegates
from Maiue and Texas from South Carolina
and California, were as thoroughly united up
on every question of principle", as those from
ihe neighboring Southern States of Tennessee
and Kentucky, or those from the neighboring
Northern States of Wisconsin and M;,.!,;.-,
And all of j - ILis community of scuOmeut, this feelin

On our difficulties with England.
; We copy the following from the "Belfast Mer
cury. ' If 11 the English papers would assume
the position of Mr. Simms, we apprehend all dif
ficulties would be easily settled. We hope the
gent eman represents the sentiments of a large
majority of the people of the United Kingdom.
The latest reports from America are much
more favorable, and if mischievous diplomacy
be kept down in the meantime, all feartof
war may be cast aside as utterly groundless
Is is much to be regretted that the people of
the mother country and those of the young
Republic, should, to this day, know so little
of each other. Designing politicians have ev
er yielded immense sway m certain phases of
society. While the really influential men
stand in the back ground, unwilling to take
part in political campaigns, the blustering
demagogue, rush into the arena; and the mas
ses allow themselves to be made merchandize
of for the aggrandizement of a few trading
patriots On this side the Atlantic we have
heard the sentiments of Pierce, the bravadoes
of AY alker, and the idle flourish of the most
incendiary and least influential portion of the
I ress. Of the good sense, the sound judg
ment, and peaceful opinions of the millions
who represent the moderate party in the Uni
.ted States, little has vet found its way to this
countty. The ' Republic of Central Amer
ica," about which such a war of words has al
ready been made, would hardly bo worth to
either party, the value of one month's ex
change of products between Great Britain and
the United States- Its total area is larger by
about twenty millions acres than that of the
United Kingdom, and the population much
under the numerical strength of London
.jonatnau nas already amnio territorv and we
IK'IlVP .lOfin ill tlo-no of
ast fullv as inoeli
domain as he is able to manage at present.
The question of Mr. Crampton and his al
leged dismissal seems thj grand point of in
terest, and remarkable interest has been at
tached to it. Granting, however, that the"
representative f Britain did not, -as has been
stated, violate-the Neutrality Laws of Ameri
ca, it is plain that his day of usefulness is
gone, and the sooner the charge ho held bo.
placed in other hands the better, for all inter
ests here as well .as for those of our customers
of the New World. We observe that the
New Y'ork papers Anticipate the prompt dis
missal of Mr. Dallas and the suspension of
diplomatic relations at London. That, how
ever, is a course not likely to bo pursued by
England's Prime 31inisier. While we stand
up for our own rights, and demand the full
recognition cf the Clayton-Bulwer Treaty, it
must be admitted that, in the lirst instance.
the course pursued by Mr Crampton was not
m accordance witu tue laws ot tne Cni'.ei
States.
Somehow there seems to be a great want of
mutual understanding between the people of
the Regal and those of the Republican Gov
ernment. Ao two countries, either in ancient
or modem times, were so closely linked as i and eel f-respecr, wa not present at the draw
Great Britain and the United States. If the ing-room "
policy of each widely differ as to form of Go
vernment, the interests of both are directly
identical. Using the same language, and
taught by the same literature, the destinies of
the two natiojjs are evidently tho.se of great
leacners, fjoing tortn siae Dy siae, m tue
march of civilization all over the world This
truth is not less felt by the gTeat majority of
the men who sit under the domain of the llo
public than it is by the peaceable and indus
trious class in this country. It is really one
of the most unaccountable features of present
history to find, that even the idea of war should
be entertained between the relative Govern
ments of Eugland and America. Factious
spirits there are in the States, who would glo
ry in raising mischief, and setting brother a
gainst brother ; but, on the whole, the patri
otic and the powerful men of America enter
tain the mo?.t friendly feeling towards thj
country. Mr. Hawthorne's .sentiments, as
spoken by that gentleman in London some
weeks ago, are exceedingly friendly. 41 Am
erica," he said, " owed a great debt to the in
tellect of. England, and he, as a native of that
country, wouid never forget it. He believed
there was never yet a kind word spoken or a
kind action performed, 03' an Englishman, to
wards an American, that the American was
not ready to respond, by an action or word at
" l"'"d. if not more so. He beHeved
there was never j-et a momenC when-'ji
. was not ready to extend her hand to meet the
hand of England out-stretched in earnestness
and good faith. It would be strange indeed
if .it were not so, for Providence had connect
ed the two countries by indissoluble tics.
Even the rich old soil of England the birth
place of his. fathers might be said to be still
inheiitnd by the Americans, and their own
expanding territory belonged to England in
that sense.. If America made additions to her
territory on her Indian frontiers, and changed
barren land to gold, that gold came by ship
loads to these shores ; aud if he could put any
faith in the kind feeling which he everywhere

raitened eti-
season. the now-
erful action of unity of aim and of interest
would rapidly cement the bonds of relation
ship, and give full play to all the latent re-'
souices of the two greatest nations on the
earth. The commercial intercourse between
the United Kingdoms and her "Western ally
has increased to an extent far exceeding that
of : any other country During the eight
months ending May last the total amount of
exports of Indian corn from the United States
was 4,538,331 bushels, and of that quantity
Great Britain took 4.3S3.700 bushels. The
export of wheat was 0,130,910 bushels, of
which this country took 3,950,679 bushels
and of the 1,424,726 barrels of flour shipped
from the American ports. Great Britain took
792,027 barrels.' We import nearly 30,000,
OOOlbs. 'of tobacco annually from Virginia,
and the value of cotton, at the present rate
of eonsnmptkrui would run close up to jCIS -000.000.
. Two-thirds of all the cotton raised
in the fotfr million acres of North American
plantations are sent to England. America
well knows the e timulus which the cnterprite
of Laucaauiw; Lanark, and the North-East
Counties of Ulster has given to her cottrn
culture. . Seventy years ago, the total value
of all the cotton raised in the States only am
ounted to 50,000 dollars. Last year, the
value of the same crop was nearly 150,000,
000 dollars. Thirty yerrs ago Brother Jon
athan owned one million tons shipping, - at
present his marine power is equal to four
million tens; and in that great department of
enterprize in the scientific construction of
merchant vessels- the young Republic has
taught some very valuable lessons to his Re
gal relative. As a market for British produce
and manufactures the United States takes the
first rank. Last year they consumed at the
rate of nearly 20s per head of the population,
or about 24,000,000 of our goods. During
the palmiest days of our commercial exchan
ges with Russia the annual extent of British
products taken by the people of that country
never exceeded 6d a head of the entire popu
lation. -
We have stated, .that the men of the Uni
ted States acd those of the United Kingdom
have yet much to learn of each other. On
this side the Atlantie we must not accept the
policy of Pierce, or the Rob Royism of Walk
er,-as the true indication of feelinjr even of
the minority towards this country. Erring
politicians, red lapists,- ancl sticklers for Cabi-
inet routine hrve done much to raise up the
barricaJes of national prejudice and national
jealousy between the people of the British
Isles and those of the Western World. It is
full time that all such obstacles should be cast
away, and that the nations which, as we have
seen, are so mutually bound together by com
mercial intercourse, should only strive in the
peaceful campaigns of progressive industry.
Tux Amkktcan Minister is Loxnos. A
correspondent of the Manchester (Eng.) Guar
ilitin thus describes Mr. Dallas, the Ameri
can Minister, as - he appeared at' the Queen's
Drawing Room, June JO :
' Mr. Dallas moved in the gay crowd l-et'n

of all the American ministers that I remember.
If you saw him sitting upon the platform nf a
