Our danger of .defeat in 1860 arises

We ehail eat stop to argue the questiee

put forth in that instrument do not ex
,elude the extension of the Slave Power by
Abe consent or vote of the ;Republic=

they supposed neither friend nor foe could

end Cern , them through, our free States ;
that these objects were to be attained not
only by giving . to the slavedealing and pi
ratical population of that islaud an equal
vote in our government With our virtuous
and intelligent population, but by adding
giereto three votes for every five slaves
which they hold in bondage. This plan
pf transferring our rights, our interests,
end our honey to the keeping of such a
population constitutes the most odious,
#te, moat hateful policy of that party, and
'some of our respectable journals deny that
tk e , gepublican party is opposed to this
Policy.
These declarations have struck us with
surprise. Every intelligent man must
beware that this same wavering of our
reeks, ip face of the enemy, riefeated the
Whigs in 1844, WWI Usury esiy
'olfed hie perseerd er.quieseenee in the
glen Or eptteeine Texas in order to ex

political death warrant, andel° our friends
suppose that the scenes connected with
Kansas and the experience of fourteen
Frps have rendered the despotism of slay
gy more acceptable to our people ? Have
pur friends forgotten the memorable re
port on this subject made to the House of I
Representatives in 1844, by the venerable!
John Quinoy Adams ? That report was ,
signed by one other member who yet lives,l
and has done what be could to awake the
Northern mind to the enormity of this in
crease of alavelaoldir.g tyrareiy. Have
par friends forgotten the address put forth
kiy Mr. Adams, and twenty other members
of Congress, one-half of whom yet live,
oind are now laboring for the rights and
honor of our free
.States ? The peorne l
bare not forgotten these things, and will I
aOl forget them; and in our opinion the
idea that Republicans will consent to see
the people of the free States thus trans-
ferred to the control of a slaveholding des-
wtism is now doing a thousand times I
ore to defeat us in 1860 than all the ef
forts of Buchanan and Douglas put to
gether.
If thee were any doubt in regard to
the Philadelphia platform being opposed
to this extension of the Slave Power, the
great body of Republican voters would de
mand its amendui.ent, or repudiate the
party. ' We assure these men who would,
let down our position that the mass of the
Republican electors are honest. They
ream what they say. They base their
aaiiqp pnrinerpfe. They will discard all •
afire-sajtriag. - They will not be sold nor
transfeire,d te the Slave Power by their
own votes. ` Viet,/ !pill not be deceived.
We understand that Stole eandidates and
acme journals promo tp go lqte the con

P,11117.1 pp Pnsitation in saying teat
if this surrender PI the Stave Power must
be made, if our rights are to be given up,
eve hope it may be dune by the focoloces.
We prefer that party shuld remain in
power so long as necessary to consummate'
•tjieir orioles, rather than see such a dis
grace brought upon a party with whom ,
we have associated and by men for whom
we have voted.
We would not deceive others, nor would
we lot deceived. We'think any attempt,
pf opr thstional Convention of 1860 to
Modify put r i eSition in regard to this ex
tension Of the slave Power, or to place in
nomination A Man whuso sentiments on
that subject are upknewn, must defeat his
election. Republican electors have been
too, often and' too long deceived on this
subject Lobe further trifled with. Shoula
there be any doubt iu'Oe pliaft,rm adopt-,

call on the eauAillates for an ayowal of

Corwin, after speaking of the Deed

chanan, to mean that " liansas was as
much a Slave State as Georgia," said
" If that decision is to be carried out,
and the . Territuries are thus to be inocu

influence, a State is farmed with a' SlaVe
ConstitUtion, and comes before me for ad

a Slave State under such circumstances."
Tbe Evansville, (.Ind.) Joitrnal
a
a
noticing recent speech of Gen. Lane, of
Oregon, at that place, has the following
significant jeu d esprit in reference to the
White House bachelor:
"Mr. Buchanan, as General Lane in
forms us, has-been enamored of the con
stitution all his life. 'lie is now mar
-1 ried to it—is its lawful- wedded husband.
I Sleeps with it—hugs it. to - his bosom—
' has no other earthly object of affection.
He loves it with his whole heart—it is
the only object of his solicitude, and the
offspring . -he begets from it will be the
only legacy he will have to bequeath to
his cout4ry.' Gen. Lane produced no
I marriage certificate, but gave his testi.
' niony as a subscribing witness. Mr. Bu
chanan is acknowledged to be an Irish
man by descent. It is one of the-domes-1
tic privileges of the lords of the Milesiati
; race to discipline 'their better halves to
their own will and pleasure; and, if need
be, custom among them, warrants the use
of the rod and strap and a little marital
force and coercion. From evidence, we
believe that Gen, Joe Lane's Mrs. Ed,
;chanan bas been most unmercifully disci
plined, and brought into abject submis
siun, and when she refuses to yield to her
master, she is subject, yet, to the most
cruel and infamous assaults from the
'greatest of the greatest.' Our fears are
that unless she is reseed ;from the em
brace and bed of the old tyrant, her life
will be in danger."
We believe it is a well known Physio
logical theory that the incongruity of pa.
rents superinduces gross . deformity or
idiocity in the offspring—that maternal
grace and goodness -become absorbed in
paternal atrociousness. The theory is
ingenious, and in this Instance is in
dubitably verified. The only off - spring of
the above] incongruous match is the Le
compton Constitution, and none, not
even its parents' own friends deny its ut
ter deformity; and while the unhappy
mother, in the utter helplessness of her
present condition, secretly weeps scalding
tears .of regret, over her unseemly off
spring, the decrepit father and his hire
ling hernias have boastingly lauded its
birth to a frowning and deriding world.
The poor, deformed thing is now, how
ever, reposing in the soil of a people upon
whom its fattier attempted to Impose its
keeping. Heaven and earth were_ moved
to save its life—'t was drugged and drug
ged by the well-paid family physicians
until Esculapias himself cried mercy for
it, but
"The boy expired—the father held the clay,
And looked upon it long; and when at last
Death left no doubt, and the dead burthen lay
Sad' on his heart, and pulse and hope were
past,
Lie watched it wistfully, until away
Teas borne by the rude ware wherein 'twas
cast;
Then he himself sunk down all dumb and
Shivering,
And gave no signs of life,' save hip limbs quiv
ering."
The mother, now that she is relieved
of the care and nourishment of the mon
strosity, will doubtless recover a share of
her accustomed health, though it is fear.
ed she can never entirely recover from
the fearful shock. Next Tuesday the peo
ple of Pennsylvania, New J,raey, Ohio,
Indiana, Illinois and Wisconsin ,will per
form the prelude to the political requiem
of the uncouth and ungainly father; the
ivife rejoices at the prospective widow
hood and the nation sympathizes with her.

I parade our personal matters before the

plainly for the satisfaction (afour cotempo
raries in the 15 District. We printed
votes for Mr. White in 1854 when he was
defeated, and in 1850, when he was-elect
ed. In the latter year, we wrote out and
printed notes of Gen., IRVIN'S speech at

' ber of extra copies of the paper contain
ing.the. same.- - We did receive $25, in

also knows that he has received three let

have received no reply. Is this sufficient?
Denunciation of Skirts.
A Conference Of Clergymen somewhere
out west has been denouncing hoops and
extension - skirts, and decrying those who
use them as unchristian. It strikes us
that this is not only ridiculous but impert
inent. If preachers cannot find any more
appropriate business than meddling with
ladies' petticoats, they had better trot
right baek to the "beggarly elements of
the world." There has been quite too
much of this priestly interference with
such matters, and peoplehave become dis
gusted with it.
It may (or may not) be in,bad taste for
ladies to wear the fashionable skirts and
hoops ; but that is theirs, and their hus
band's concern ; and an attempt to mag
nify, the practice into a sin liable to cleri
cal denunciation Is, as we said, imperti
nent.--Lyons (R. 1.) Republican.
We agree with you, friend, that it is
none of their business, any more than
would be 4 tlie selection of their dinners.
Indeed, so prone have Clergymen become
to meddle with the private affairs of their
"flocks" i that the Gospel is nearly forgot
ten by Chnrch-going, people, who now go to
such places only when they desire to get'
"posted up" in the neighborhood scandal.
Denunciation of Sin by general applica
tion has been supplanted by especial de- 1
nunciation of Special Sins, and the, pul
pit is fast being suborned as a rostrum from
which to proclaim the bitterness of per
sonal malice. We begin to think that
such meddling by. the clergy, if left un
checked in its workings, will result in a
religious despotism rivaled only by the
Romish Church. •
The clergy should remember that their
credentials as christian embassadors do not
empower them to look beyond the spiritu
al Welfare of those among whom they are''
sent; and we do not conceive how the cir
cumference of a woman's petticoats, or
the cat of a man's coat, influences their re
ligious
sincerity. If their heart is plean
ly, why should not their persons be enr
re-pendingly comely ? Indeed, we feel
cotistrai nod to say that before a WOMBS'
skirts can be ensmallecl to the styles of
the past, the clergy of the above-named
Conference must obtain complete control
of the Parisian fashion-makers, as well as
invent some style of petticoats •which is
more healthy, comfortable and comely—a
task they willfind to be eminently more diffi
cult than - passing Cletiuriciatory resolutions
relative to the present style. We confess
to have entertained a - dislike of them at.
first; but we are now as firmly convinced
of their necessity to the comfort; conven
ience and health of ladies as we were then
ready to denounce them. If we had been
unable to discover, any utility in them!
beyond the mere gratification of woman's'
vanity; our dislike of them would perhaps
have -continued until now—indeed, but
for the realization of their utility by the
public generally, they would long since
have succumbfil to popular derision; and
thus would that western conference of
clergymen have been saved the trouble of
denouncing them b l y resolntion at this
late date. We hope those pious seers will
grow •in wisdom in proportion to their
theme.
Forney vs. Buchanan.
We have only room this, week for a
couple of short extracts from a recent ad
dress of Col. Forney, in the Press, show
ing up some of the unpleasant private af
fairs of the present National Adminis
tration. We mako the first .extract• to
'show the sycophancy of Buchanan, and
the other - to show the real issue before
the People of Pennsylvania at the elec
tion next Tuesday. What amount of
confidence can be placed in .a President
who is thus portrayed by the man who
placed him where he is ? Speaking of
the N. Y. Herald, Col. Forney says
"How he toiled to defeat Mi. Buchan:

ricationlr.,no matteF hour vile, that 'did net
!find ready circulation through the col
umns of the Hera Id. !The most sacred
secrets jwere exposed to, the public eye.
The early life of •Mr. Buchanan, his inti
mate confidential relations, and especially
that pUrtion n hieh he, himself has most
sedulutisly hidden from notoriety,: was
ruthleAy laid bare to the vulgar gaze.
This jackal of the press, who grinds his
' el.venomed tooth even into the grave
itself; tore open the cerements of the in
nocent 'and helpless dead, and shOok into
the eyes of the startled public 'secrets
which even. Mr. Buchanan's intimate
friends did not dare allude to.
*, * * * * * *
At the time these articles appeared,
Mi. B chanan said to me one day, taking
up' the N. E Herald, while I was on a
visit te*Wbeatland, "Why am I thus to
"be traduced and pursued by this infa
" Mous! knave 1 :Have Ino friends who
"will visit New York and punish him as
"he deserves? His ears should, be tak
en off in the public streets." ,I Lever
sate Mr. Buchanan more excited than he
was on this and other occasions under
Bennett's unlicensed and cruel slanders,
and I believe that it is to my prudence
mud compassion that Bennett is this day
permitted to walk Broadway with his
long ears on his Scotch head. I well re
member how, after the campaign; the first
imiailse of the Democrats all over the
linion,lwas to have a settlenient with the
N. E Herald. That paper had expert-
ded - 2:11 of its influence and a good deal
of Freinont's money in trying to defeat
BUchanan. Thousands of Pemo
craticAditors throughout the, country felt
that;Bennett deserved to-be castigated,
and at the solicitation of a number of dis
tinguished men, then in Philadelphia, I
sat down and prepared a somewhat caus
tic' art i cle. showing him up in faithful
colors. Mr. Buchanan astonished me by
calling my attention to this article, and
'complained of the proprietor of the paper
for pubiilhing it. I told him that I had
alYself Written it, and that I had written
it beernise it was - demanded by common
deeeneY, and by ordinary respect for the
gallant men who had been traduced in
that journal, and especially for the thou
sands a ;:trumr, "
litv , editors throughout
the Union who hadregarded the Herald
as his iliast infamous, relentless, and aav
age enemy. "We'll," said he, "I regret
" that I have written to the proprietor of
"the pliper about-this article, but I de
" siro that - Mr. Bennett shall support. my

that tb man who was thus willing to

cure the support of James Gordon Ben

ter and inconceivable wrath upon his
head,aild after tic-had traduced the South.
betrayed the Republicans, and been re
buked t u the result of the eleecion—was
even in that day resolved in his own mind
-to turn is back upon the pliant men in
this cif, and tate, who had surrounded
liiin.as vith a wall of fire, and- who had
carried him forward into the Presidency
after tw l enty years of hard, unit:witting,
and chi alrie toil: For nl3 - self, I have
only /to say that although Bennett has
accused me of many thinv, he has yet to
speak o me as shamelessly and as brutal
ly as he has spoken- of the President of
the United States."
I
After reviewing the acts of commission
and omiksion on the part of the National
Adruini4ration, and drawing unpleasant
contrasts between Mr. Buchanan and Gen.
Jackson Cul. Forney takes a brief urvey
of the ld of political contest in Penn
sylvaniai New-Jersey, Ohio, &e., in which
he tiugus disaster to the Lecomptonites,
and con lodes as follows :'
" How l much will it help the Adminis
tration by making the English 'bill an is
sue, and by continuing to denounce all
who will not, consent to do the same ? We
have never yet had a trial of Lecompton
ism in pennsylvania. Our last election
—that which took place in October of
ISs9—resiilted in the triumph of Win.
F. Packer, who stood broadly and square
ly and publicly upon the principle of Pop
ular Sovereignty, which principle lie af
terward manfully reiterated in, his inaug
ural addiess. But this is the first elec
tion in Which the distinctive - policy of the
Adinini4ration.has come in issue in our
State. Not only the peculiar policy of
the Adnlinistration in this respect will be
involved in theJresuk, but the new idea,
lately, enunciated, that the President is
,the principle and that the Administra
tion is the party; that all creeds and all
platformS have passed away, and that the
Cabinet and the powers that be shall
make our creeds and recnnstrudt our plat
forms. lAll this will be in lathe. In the
days of.j Gen. Jackson the great motto
which itumortalized bis Administration
was, 4 The Union, it must and shall he
preserve ." This motto has now been
changilii
ed into ".The President :1 He must
arid shal be sustained." Pennsylvania in
October next will be called Upon to, de
cide whether she will prefer to sustain the
doctrin4 which have made the country
prosperous, or to desert these doctrines
for, the .urpose of sustaining the Presi
dent. ' ,

AFFECTING INCIDENT AT TIIE BLIND
AsYmni.-:—During the visit of the Lau
caster Feucibles to the Blind Asylum,
yesterday, a most' affeeting incident o e :
curred. _ The children had displayed
their musical talents to the sattsfaetienof
the visitors, when Col. John T. Riley
was called upon to sing , The Blind Boy.'
He rcaonstrated that it would be out of
place, and feared the conseruences. But
his remonstrances were met by pleasant
assurances from all, and he finally onn:
plied with their reqiiest. Ile sang with
peculiar richness and. cadence. The sun.
sitiVo hearts of the little:blind ones were
deeply touched, and a most affecting and
intprcsivci scene fulloived: Before he had
finished, the little musicians who accom•
panied lint dropped their inslrvinents
and listened, and their sobs almost choked
them. And' when he closed, the boys3ll
came runninf!, to him, ,feelin g m his.barich
and his face, and then his body. Tens
glistened in fire eyes of every beholder,
and Col. Riley, forgetting the restraint
placed 'upon manhood, wept.—ltiladt - I.
