    people. They found the institution if negro,
-slavery fastened upen them without any fault
of their own, Mauy4of them believed it' to
be an evil, but they could sot help it. Tliey
had the wolf by the , ears, and - they could-,
neither hold on with comfort not let go , with
safety. A general emancipation' would have
Wen a virtual surrender of the whole Sonrh
orti country to the black race, nrobablv. the
extinction of the whites in their own blood.
The fate of St. Domingo and the British West
Indies forbade such a thought: It was in
this condition that they were assailed by every
mtnns which malice and euuning could devise
in order to increase the danger and difficulty
tt their .situation. Have they not a good
right to complain bitterly of a party, which
was doit-g all it could to murder them, their
wives and their children.
They did complain. But their complaints
were uttered in vain.' General Jackson call
ed the attention of Congress to the subject
and a bill was brought in to prohibit the trans
mission of incendiary documents tLrcugh the
mail, but the South was in the minority and
the bill was lost. It was not only lost, but
ttie proposition to prevent the United States
mail from being prostituted to the purposes of
assassination aud murder, was made the ocea
pion for a new cry of Southern aggression,
nnd every northern man who favored it was
i
again trailed a dough-face, coward and trailer. I
In toe present canvass, tne .uomion party
has a strength which it never had before
The dissolution of the Whig party has left
many men without political connections, and
some of them have a causeless feeling against
the Democracy which makes them embrace
any doetriue; and risk disunion itself, rather
thitn join us.. .Many ot the adhering Know j
Nothin?s were led over bodih, with their j
eyes shut, into the pit-fall 6f Abolitionism. I
They have, out of these materials, formed a i ly
a i
party which they dare call Republican. Yes,
a combination ot men, acung uuuer tne mnu
onco of epiuions formed and developed in
England propagated by British emissaries
advocated by the British press, and aiming a
direct blow at the only strong republic on
earth -such a party adds to its other sins the
base hypocrisy of calling ifself by the sacred
name of Republican.
Their only battle cry at this moment, and
for some time past, has been Kansas ! Kan
fas! Kansas! Mr Buchanan will be elected
President, and this Kansas question, with all
it incidentals, will pass away among the
things that were. When that happens, the
people .of this country will look back with
wonder at the scenes now enacting, and think
with amazement of the norm which a few
fanatics and traitors could raise on a question
go simple and so easily adjusted
The Territorial government of Kansas was
organized on a principle which permitted the
xueu who might inhabit the new State to de
termine what should be its laws and institu
tions. Thus it expressly declared : ' It be
ing the true intent and meaning of this act
not to legislate slavery into any State or
Territory, nor to exclude it therefrom, but to
leave the people thereof perfectly free to form
and regulate their domestio institutions in
their own way, subject only to tho Constitu
tion of the United States."
That, too, was the very priuciple of the
Compromise of 1850, with reference to Cali
fornia and New Mexico, and advocated by
Clay, and Cass, and Webster. Let Whig,
Democrats, aud Americans, all men who
love the Union, listen to the laoguage of the
patriot Clay in his celebrated report introdu
cing the Compromise bill : " It is high time
that the wounds which it the Wihnct proviso'
has inflicted should be healed up and closed
f.nd that to avoid in all future time, the agi
tation which must be produced by the con
flict of opiniou on the slavery question exist
ing as this institution does, in somo of the
States, and prohibited, as it is, iu others
the true principle which ought to regulate the
notion of Congress in forming territorial gov
ernments for each newly acquired domain, is
to refraiu from all legislation on the subject
in the territory acquired, so long as it retains
the territorial form of government, leaving
it to the people of such territory, when they
Lave attaiucd to a condition which cutitles
them to admission as a State to decide for
themselves the question of the allowance or
prohibition of domestic slavery." (See Con
gressional Globe, May 10, 1850, page 945 )
Certainly no man of ordinary foresight
could have believed that honest men in the
North, after contending for this doctrine five
or six years ago, would turn around and re
pudiate it now But these hypocritical pre
tenders complain of the repeal of the law
kuowu as the Missouri Compromise, by which
Congress legislated slavery out of Territory
north of S'J deg. 30 miu., and permitted it to
exist in all Territory south c f that line; and
yet, in the platform they have made for their
candidate and party, they solemnly resolve,
that ' tee- deny the authority of Congress, ofa
Territorial L gi 'flat u re, of any individual or
association of individuals, to give legal exis
tence to slavery in any Territory of the Uui
ted States, while tho present Constitution
thail bo maintained." Res. 2d, Republican
Ulatforai, 1850. .
Thus the very Compromise, which the Ab
olitionibta at one moment prctcud should not
have becu repealed, because, as they allege, it
was a binding law aud compact, they in the
next solemnly resolve was no law no com
pact ; nay more, that it was beyond the pow
er of Congress or of auy human power to
make such a law, while the Constitution shafl
last ! . But wo pass from this to another
topic.
Sonic disorders have occurred in the con
test of opiuiuu which has been going cn in
Kansas for two or three years between the
pro-slavery men and the Abolitionists.
Whatever they amounted to, it is fit that
those who committed these disorders should
take the roponsibility and bear the consc-
quenccs. But no one can fail to sec that ab-
olitionism has exaggerated and perverted
every incident connected with them in this
way which in their opinion was best calcula
ted to create prejudice and hatred againat the
South. Their own share in provoking these
quarrels the- heve tried all tlx-3- could to con
ceal. Instead of proposing home mode of
fettling tho deputes in Kansas amicably and
x:aei;fully, they have artfully fanned tho
flame and shown by their whole conduct, that
they would willingly spread civil war from
Kausas all over the Union
Even au asKiult and battery, committed at
Washington city, has been ucd. as a means
of stirring up the bitter waters of factional
strife hen riots have been raised in the
North f prevent the execution of toe fugitive
jive law. a law nppii-Vtd by WiclitntD,
Toted for by Clay aud: Webster, and signed
by President Fillmore, and murders commit
ted -for thesamo purpose like those at. Carlisle
and 'Christiana, these same abolitionists clap
ped their hands in exultation, and cried 'well
done I '; When the South complained that Ijer
best citizens had bpen thus slaughtered for no
offence but demanding their lawful rights, the
abolitionists answered with insult and ribald
ry. And now, when a northern Senator is
caned by the Representative of a slave-held-hig
State, the whole Abolition party is thrown
into wild commotion of excitement. We do
not justify or excuse Mr. Brooks, but wc
think that those men who had no sympathy
for Kennedy aud (Jorsuch might as well be
quiet about Sumner.
In conclusion, wc will briefly refer to one
important fact, which ought to consign the
leaders of the so-called Republican party to
their political graves.
You are all aware that the Senate of the
United States is lurgely Democratic. That
bod-, some time ago, passed a bill for the
pacification of Kansas, to just and so equi
table, that no fair objection cau be made
against' it. It provides for ' the admission of
Kansas as a State, with such a Constitution
as the people tl emselves shall choose to have ;
and that the voto upGnit may betaken fairly,
the most stringent regulations are made, to
w
prevent any man from putting in a ballot who
is not a resident, it provides tuat any one
who has left the Territory on account of the
previous troubles, may return aud vote as if
he had not gouc awav- It abrogates all the
laws passed by the Territorial Legislature
complained of bv the Abolitionists .No man
can deny (and so far as we know it never
lias been denied.) that this bn. it paused by
the other House of Congress, would at nnce
settle the whole difficulty in a manner perfect-
ly fair. Iven one ot the Abolition benatora
Mr. Hale admitted this, for upon the in
troduction of the bill he f-aid in the Senate
" But, sir, I do not want to dwell on that j
subject, but to speak a very few words in
reference to this bill which has been introdu
ced by the Senator from Georgia. I take
this occasion to say that this bill, as a whole,
does great credit to the magnanimity, to the
patriotism, and to the sense of justice of the
honorable Senator who introduced it. It is a
much fairer bill than I expected from that
latitude. 1 say so because I am always wil- t
ling to speak anything, to do ample justice. I
think this bill is almost unexceptionable." '
Yet the Republican leaders, iu and out of
Congress, arc doing their best to prevent the
passage of this bill. They do not wont, the
question settled. They prefer civil war dis
union, and all their frightful consequences i
We solemnly trust that these heartless dema- j
gogues will receive such a lesson at the next
election from the people, and especially from j
the people of Pennsylvania, as will fettle
them and the Kausas question loth together.

Americans, Read ! Foreign Teapots and j
iuonarcmsxs x.anoriDjj to oecure me x-iec- j
tion of Fremont, because they "want to j
see the Union Dissolved. i
There is no doubt at all thp.t this Black
Republican disunion movement is fostered and
encouraged in Great Britain. The London
Leader, a prominent liberal paper in England
says :
"We know that the Abolitionism of the
Garrisons and men of that ftamp has been
fostered and excited by the Abolitionist in
ccadaries of Great Britain, who would have
sacriGced tho American Republic rather than
uot carry their own dogmas in their own W3y.
The latest news from the United States indu
ces us to suppose that the external intrigues
which have found their accomplices in the
Union arc not entirely without prospect, of
tuccess. Already the politicians of England
and Europe are reckoning that the American
people irill elect an Anti-slavtry Iresider.t,
tcko tcill rend around the brand of discord,
as the. burning branch v ted to be rent to rouse
the clans of Scotland "
As proof of the statement to confidently
made iu the Trader, read the following from
the London Chronicle, tho especial organ of
the Queen of Great Britain:
" We should be sorry to see Mr. Buchanan
elected, because he is in favor of preserving
the obnoxious institutions as they exist, and
the -unity of the States. There is no safety
for European nionarchial government if the
progressive spirit of the Democracy of the
United States is allowed to scccced. Elect
Fremont, and the first blow to the separation
of the United States is effected "
Another Loudon paper, the Star, says Fre
mont's address upon accepting the nomination
' ought to excite on ardt.nt upe throughout
England for his success."
The LouJou Times is out in a leader in fa
vor of Fremont's election. The editor thinks
such a result will be a subject of congratula
tion, as being best for the kingdom of Great
Britain.
The Paris Moniteur, official organ of the
Imperial Usurper, whom Fremont is said by
his admirers, to resemble in some of the traits
of his character, makes this announcement :
" Our sympathies are entirely with Colonel
Fremont. WE HOPE TO SEE NO EX
TENSION O V T JI E DEMOCRATIC
PRINCIPLE IN THE UNITED STATES.
IT IS DANGEROUS TO EUROPEAN
GOVERNMENTS."
These extracts, the genuineness of which
cannot be denied, or if they are, can be pro
ved by tho foreign files of papers, should be
kept prominently before the people, as unfold
ing the true character of this Fremont Abo
lition movement.

AN INVITATION,
TO TIIK FRIENDS OF Mil. FILLMORE
AND OF MR. FREMONT.
We would respectfully invite you, gentle
men, to permit the speakers who advocate your
principlcs,your measures, and your candidates,to
meet those who advocate ours, in friendly debate,
at such times and places as may be mutually
agreed upon, from this date, until the period of
the November election. It cannot escape you
gentlemen, that our Union is at present like a
ship tcssed by contrary winds. It is plain that
the minds and feelings of our people are deeply
agitated ; more deeply perhaps, than at auy pre
vious period of our political history. It is"uc
knowledgcd.tbat the issues involved in the pend
ing contest for the Presidency, are of the first im
portance. Ia the hope, that those issues may be
fairly presented, in their true light, stripped of
deception, prejudice aud falsehood, to the impar
tial notice of the people, do wc extend you this
invitation to come and discuss those issues with
us.
Wc do not challenge you, wc do not wish to
use so harsh a word when holding out the hand
to those who are American citizens. AVe invite
you to a frieudlv contest, where the only v apons
shall be those of stout, manly intellect, the only
object of contention, the welfare of the people,
and that people themselves shall bo the judges.
We ask your speakers to come to our meetings.
They hall be treated with every fairness, kind
ness and decorum, and we expect only a recipro
city of that fairness on your part.
By order of tho Executive Committee.

DEMOCRATS OF CAMBRIA tl
. Are you ready for tho teovnd Tuesday cf
OcMttrt Remember that you Lave & solemn
duty to perform Tho eyes of the democracy
of the wholo Union are directed to Pennsyl
vania. Her soil is now dishonored by a horda
of Black Republican agitators, such as Banks
Burlingame, Ford, and o-hers, for the, pur
pose of seducing her honest and patriotic sons,
from the time honored faith of thei- fathers,
and enlisting them under the black flag of
disunion. ' Pei nsylcan ia is the battle ground ;
she is the Waterloo of the contending
forces. Without her vote, no President has
ever been elected, and without her vote now,
the chances of Fnmont ar 2 hopeless. Will

BUCHANAN, to be stricken down in the
conflict and his glorious banner to trail in

always stood, the defender of the Constitu

to pass into the lewd embraces of Black Re

selves to answer ; with you rests the fearful
responsibility. Democrats remember that
on the second Tuesday of October, Pennsyl

EDIE ON KANSAS,
In his public speeches and private conver
sation, Jm A. x.atc undertakes to make
political capital, by denouncing the laws in
Kansas. We always knew that John, was a
perfect oily Gammon in politics, but suppos
ed from the record of his Congressional ca
reer, that he would not so far outrage the in
telligence of the people, asto base his claim
for a re-cloctiou on such a flimsy, nay such
an impudent pretext as this.
If the laws iu the territory of Kansas are
unjust and unconstitutional, why does John
R. Edie refuse to vote for their repeal?
Let him answer this question if he cau The
record of the House of Representatives at
. , . , , , , ;

Republicans, refused to vote for the ae!..1

bill, repealing the very laws, about which lie

t .
stand it ; thev dispise his duplicity as much
as they do his Know-Nothingism, and will
teach him, that they jlace a proper estimate
upon his whining and piteous appeal, on the
subject of Kansas and her territorial laws.
DISUNION AT OUR VERY DOORS.
The Frernonters, when cornered in an argu
ment, try to get out by saying that the talk
about disunion is all humbug, that -nobody seri- i
onslv wants t diasolve the Union that it i all I
fudge.
Now, it is known to the people of our county,
that the Fremont m n have been fr the last week
liKiiling about, in several of Messrs. Thompson
and Hamilton's hacks, a man whom they call Dr.
Smith, of Virginia. They brag about him as a
great pun, as a ph udid speaker, first rate debater,
Arc. Th:s same Dr. Smith, sl;o hays that hj
hails from some jail out west, was taken on last
Friday in great state by the Fremont men from
this town, out to Blacklick township. He made
a speech there, in which ho said, ''tub time is
FAST APPROACHING, WHEN IT WILL EE NECKSSAKT
FOB THE NOKTn TO FOKM AS ALLIANCE WITH
Great Britais, to maintain TnEiK riuhts
AOArNtTSoCTHFRN AUtiKKSslON."
These are the words which Snvth made use of.
Wc understand that he now denies them, but we
can prove, by as honest a man as Cambria county
can show, that "Dr. Smith" from Virginia did use
them.
People of Cambria county, how do you like the
tioctnnc t iiere 11 is, 111 au us uaiveu ucioj uuij .
The Black Republican KnowKothings say that you
must make up your minds to ally yourselves with
our natural foe, Great Britain, for the purpose of
makiug war cm our brethren in the Southern States.
People of Cambria, you have been distinguished
for your devotion to tlve Union, for your zealous re
gard for the honor of tho "star spangled banner;"
you prepared to turn your backs upon fiftt cu
hands with Kncrl.ind.tho
are
Amei
- j '
natural enemy of American institutions and Am
erican Liberty ?
The Frernonters cannot back out of it. This is
the doctrine advanced by their great gun, by the
man who was expressly brought here to revolution
ize Cambria county, and cause it to give a majority
for Fremont, and who is even yet petted by them.
Hereafter, let them deny if they dare, that their
object is disunion.
We ask the people to take special note of this
matter. We will prove, by sufficient testimony,
every word that wc have said, should it be necessary-
OUR MEETINGS,
During the past week, several meetings of the
friends of the Union have been held; they were all
numerously attended, and by the right kind of
people. It is hardly possible to discribe the de
termination nd spirit manifested by "the bone
and sinew " in every portion of our county. We
have never seen the citizens so thoroughly aroused.
We have a right to be proud of our organization
now, and wo think that we will be prouder of it
on the 14th of October.

who is influential and active, was tor I remont,
and was permitting Fremont meetings to be held

the hand-bill, he resolved to have nothing to do
with the meeting of abolitionists aud Know-Nothings.
The spirit which he manifests is worthy of
all praise It ConGrms what we aid last week,
"that the Germans of Cambria were standing
