If thts principle ap plies to the affaire of men, as is generally be lieved, the case of James Buchanan is a desperate one*, or in the language of the adage his cutft is about to sink. His friend B boast wonderfully of his strength, like they always do of their candidates, but the peo ple are Dot only slow to believe, bat evi dently see breakers and dangers ahead which they are anxious to avoid by a timely -desertion. Foarcelj had the Cincinnati Convention adjourned, before Senator Ham lin. for nine joare a Locofoco Senator from the State of Maine, gets up in- his place and resigns hie Chairmanship of an important committee, because he cannot support .Mr. Buehaoan.

In early life, indeed until middle age, he was a Federalist, and the slanderer of Mad ison. He was the author of the Bargain and Sale charge on Henry Ctav. He advo -1 cated low wages.

We call the particular attention of all our readers to the Oration of James l>u chanan, delivered on the Fourth of Jul}, I 81&, in Lancaster. It will be seen th reading it, that he was one of the worst en ernies Mr. Madison and the Democratic par ty ever had. He is the same man now that he was then, a cold, calculating, selfish Fed eralist, opposed to the poor man, and even so despicably mean, that, whilst l.e occu pied the position of Secretary of State un der Polk, he denied Leiug a Pennsylvania!'., to save a few dollars of taxes, bis rightful share towards maintaining the honor and credit of the State, that made him all that he ever was. He is the lust man tor whom Penm-ylvauians should feel the least pnit>- cle of Stale pride. SUNDAY SCHOOL CELEBRATION* The teachers and scholars of the Metho dist Sunday School held their annual cele bration on Thursday of last week, in the beautiful grove belonging to the estate of Muj. S. M. Barclay, dee'd. We hive nev er before enjoved ourself so we!! at any cel ebration of the kind us we did at this.— The scholars declaimed several pieces that wouhi have done credit to those in the best day schools. There were several dialogues spoken by some of the little girls and boys which reflected great credit upon them and their instructors. The best of all wis a di alogue from Scripture, "Joseph and his Brethren " The different persons con cerned in this performed their parts cxeeed ingly we!!. The part by the young man who represented the chief character, was exceedingly well performed, and elicited the Btlmirutinn of ul! on the ground. We are convinced from the display of varied native talent by the scholars, that if some of them had the opportunity of our more favored youth, a classical eJuca'.ion, they would make orators of the first class. The singing by the young ladies was excellent. After the performances, a first rate din ner was spread, where the vast concourse was bountifully supplied with all that the most fastidious appetite could crave. The teachers and scholars deserve the ( thanks of the community for the pleasure , which they have afforded them. We must not forget to mention, that the greatest la bor was performed by the present able and , efficient Superintendent of tbo Sabbath School, and to bim they are mainly indebted i for the rich treat. It appears thai the shoe fits Cooper of the Valley Spirit. He can wear it, no mat ter whether hisuomeneiature be Jim or John !

A Remarkable Prophecy. JOHN C. FREMONT. Dr. Robertson published an edition of XenopLon's Anabasis in 1850. In the pre face he gives the following account of the youth who wa9 a member of one of bis classes. It is a most interesting document and shows how the character, which Col. Fremont has ever exhibited, was formed, and illustrates the early development of the energy and talent that have borne him on through life: •For your further encouragement, I will here relate a very remarkable instance of patient diligence and indomitable persevo* rauce. 'ln the year 1827, after I had returned j to Charleston from Scotland, and my elas- j ses were going on, a very respectable law-| yer came to my school, I think some time in the month of October, with a youth, ap parently about sixteen, r perhaps not so much (fourteen) of middle size, graceful in manners, rather slender, but well formed, and, upon the whole, what I should call handsome; of a keen piercing rye, and a noble forehead, seemingly the very seat of genius. The gentleman stated that he had found him given to study, and that he had been about tbre weeks learning the Latin rudiments, and (hoping, I suppose to turn the youth's attention from the law to the ministry) bad resolved to place him under my care, for the put pose of leurniug Creek, Latiu and Mathematics, sufficient to enter Charleslou College. I very gladly receiv ed him, for I immediately perceived he was no common youth, as intelligence beamed in his dark eye, and shone brightly on hi/, countenance, indicating great ability, and an assurance of his future progress. £ at once put Lira in the highest class just be ginning to read Caesar's Commentaries, and although at first inferior, his prodigious memory and enthusiastic application soou j enabled hiui to surpass the best, lie be-| gan Greek at the samo time, and read with ! some who had been lo.ig at it, in which he ! also soon excelled. In short, in the space of one year he had, with the and at odd hours with myself, read four books of Caesar, Cornelius Nopos, Sallnst, six books of \ irgil, nearly all Horace, and two books of Livy; and in Greek all Groeea Minora, about the half of the first volume of Grm ca Majors, and four books of Homer's Illi ad. And whatever he read he retained. It seemed to me, in fact, as if he learned bv more intuition. I was myself utterly a touished, and at the same time delighted with his progress. I have hinted that be was designed for the church, but when I contemplated his bold, tearless disposition, his powerful inventive genius, his admira tion ot warlike exploits, b>s love of heroic and ad vcuturous doeds, I did not think it likely he would be a minister of the Gos pel. lie had not, however, the least ap pearance of any vice whatever. On the contrary, be was always the very pattern of virtue and modesty. I could not help lov ing him, so much did he captivate me by his gentlemanly conduct and cxtraordiuary progress. It was easy to see that ho would one day raise himself to eminence. While under my instruction, I discovered his ear ly genius for poetical composition in the fol lowing manner. When the Greek class ■ read the account that Herodotus gives of | the battle of Marathon, the bravery of Mil- I tiades and hi* ten thousand Greeks raised I his patriotic feelings to enthusiasm, and J drew from him expressions which I thought ' were embodied,a few days afterward,in some i well written verses iu a Charleston paper, on that far-famed, unequal but successful ! conflict against tyranny aud oppression; and suspecting my talented scholar to be the author, I went to his desk and asked bim if be did not write them; and hesitating at first rather blushingiy he confessed he did. I then said: *1 knew you could do such things, and suppose jou have some pieces by you, which I should like to see. Do bring them to me.' He consented, and in a day or two brought me a number, which j I read with pleasure and admiration at the ! strong marks of genius stamped on all, but ; here and these requiring, as I thought, a j very slight amendment. •I badtiircda luatbemafician to 4 teach both him and myself, for I could uo then j teach that science, and in this he also made < such wonderful progress that at the end of; one year hetntered the Junior Class in Charleston College, triumphantly, while oth ers who had been studying four years more were obliged to take the Sophomore Class. About the end of the year 1828, 1; left Charleston. After that, he taught j mathematics for sotne time. His career : afterward has been one of heroic adventure, of hair breadth escapes by flood aud field, find of scientific explorations, which have 1 him world wide renowned. In ft letter I received from him very lately, he expressed his gratitude to me in the following words: 'I am very far fioui eithor forgetting you or neglecting you, or in any way losing the old regard I had for you. There is no time to which Igo back with more pleasure than that spent with yos, for there was no time so thoroughly well spent; and of anything I may have learned, I remember nothing so well aud se distinctly as what I acquiied with you.' Here I cannot help saying that the merit was almost all his own. It is true that 1 encouraged and cheered him on, but if the soil into which I put the seeds of learning had not been of the richest quality they would never have sprung up to a hun dred fold in the full ear. Such, my young friends, is but an imperfect sketch of my once beioved and favorite pupil, uowa Sen ator, and who may yet rise to be at the head of t'lis great and growing Republic. My prayer is that bo may ever be opposed to war, injustice and oppression of every kind, a blessing to bis country, and an example of every noble virtue to the whole world.' THE REPUBLICAN" CANDIDATES. The following brief accounts of the candidates of the Republican party, are taken chiefly from the Philadelphia Bulle tir. JOIIN C. FREMONT. —With the leading particulars of the life of the Republican nominee, the whole country is well acquain ted. John C. Fremont was born at Savan nah, Georgia, Jan. 21st, ISI3, and received his education at Charleston. Ilis father was a Frenchman and liis mother was a Virgin ian. His father died when he was only four years old. His capacity for mathematics procured bim a situation as teacher of that branch of education, when quite a young man. The U S. Government gave him employ ment, first on board the sloop of war Natchez, and afterwards as a lientenaDt iu the Corps o| Engineers. While engaged on duty in W4isbiny>',on, he made the acquain tance of Col. P-entou's family, and in 1811 married on/ of his daughters against the parent's consent —that is to say, the elop ed. It/ IS 12 he set out on the first of his three exploring expeditions, going over the hi/'.iest peak of the Rocky Mountains. In 1813 ho made his second exploration and in 1845 his third. The war with Mexico broke out during the latter expedition, and Froeinont,no.v a lieutenant colonel,rendered efficient aid to our military and naval forces in California. The dispute as to the chief command, which sprang np between Geo. Kearney and Com. Stockton, brought Col. Fremont into notice, a the question was submitted to him, He declined to decide it, and as he was at a loss to know who had the rightful authority, he decided to obey the order of Cone Stockton, under whom he had first been'placed when he arrived in California. This incensed Gan. Kearney, who ordered his arrest, and he was tried by a court mar tial, for di-obedieuce of orders. The court declared that Kearney was the rightful com mander, found Fremont guilty and senten ced him to be dismissed fro in the service. President Polk sigucd the sentence as be ing technically right, hut at the same timo offered Fremont a new commission of the sami grade as that of which he had been deprived. This Fremont rafused, and re tired to private life. After this he under took a fourth expedi tion across the Rocky Mountains, by a new route, which resulted disastrously in maoy respects. But it left Fremont in California, whose gold had just begun to be developed. He then took an active part in public affairs, and engaged in some land operations, which have finally made him out of the richest men in the Union. He was elected one of the first United States Sena tors from Culifonia, but tlys term for which he was elected was only two years, and owiug to the delay in the admission of the State, he sat only during one session. Since that period he has occupied himself with his private affairs, and now for the first time appears before the people as a candidate for office, aud that office is the highest in their gift. The proposed candidate of the North is a man to excite enthusiasm. His brilliant genius, bis romantic adventures, bis beroic exploits, bis clear, manly intellect, wi'l make it easy for enthusiasm to be excited by the name of this young, chivalrous, and splendid American. On the other hand it will be hard to be enthusiastic about Mr. Buchanan. He is a bachelor, a man o!d> yet not wise, cold, yet not safe, as his Os tend circular shows. In that he plainly in timates that if Spain will not sell us Cuba for a hundred and twenty millions of dol lars, we "havo a perfect right as a matter of personal security to take it by force. Tho man who coelli put his name to such a docu ment cannot be called a safe man for the Presidency! " '* * Hon. Wm. L. Daytou, the Republican nominee for Vice President, is a gentleman j who has long been held in high esteem in | bis native State, New Jersey. He was a | lawyer by profession; has held the office of Judge of one of the New Jersey Courts;, ha? served, we believe, in he r State Legisla ture, and was one of her representatives iu j the United States SeDate from 1842 to 18- ! 51. Daring this period, he secured the esteem of all who observed his course, as a j conservative, yet thoroughly Northern * Senator. "THE FIGHTING." —Mrs. Prewett, the lady editor of the American Banner, pub lished at Yazoo City, Miss., makes the fol lowing somewhat unique announcement of the accession of the political editor of her paper to bis tripod: THE POLITICAL EDITOR. —We have the pleasure of announcing to the readers of the American Banner, that Mr. John T. Smith, an able wrier and a zealous Ameri can, who has been connected with the Mis sissippi press for fourteen years, has been engaged to take charge of the political de partmjut at' this paper during the canvass Mr. Smith, though a remarkably eourteou.-, und amiable geutieineu, has fought five du els, killing bis man every time. He brings 'nto the political cauvass, besides a general stock of information and zeal for the cause two Bowie-knives, one of Parson Beeclier's j Sharpe's rifles, two six-shooters, and sundry 1 canes and shelalahs, not to speak of two pair of brass knuckles. We bespeak for Mr. Smith a cordial reception by the press. ; g a g- P. S. Mr. Smith brings into the service a ferocious pair of whiskers and a diabolica) moustache, which will carry dismay iuto the ranks of the adversary. Ho has not yet arrived at his post; his uaugerreotype, by the way, may be seen at Carney's, taken iu the inimitable style of that artist. N. 14. Challenges received from 9 o'clock A. M. to 3 P. M. P. P. S.—No oue need stay away oa ac count of intelligibility, Mr. S. regards any one sufficiently a gentleman to fig'ut with him, or to treat him, which latter can be attended to during the hour for receiving challenges—preference given to brandy juleps, extra-song. ARRIVAL OF EX-PRESIDENT FILL MORE. The steamship Atlantic arrived in New York on Sunday night, about 11 o'clock, with ex-President Fillmore on board. A large crowd was on the wharf to greet him and cheer after cheer was given before the Atlantic reached her dock. The following particulars are taken from the New York Herald: It was now discovered that Mr. Fill more's son was 01. hoard, when somebody demanded three mere for Fillmore, Ji.— I'be demand was complied with; three good cheers were given, and several pressing for ward seized the son by the hand, and, in their friendship for the father, nearly nulled his arms out of their sockets. At last the gang plank was made secure to the vessel's side and the Fillmore Reception Committee poured along it like a torrent, and in over the sides of the ship, driving back the as tonished passengers. In they went to the cabin, where Mr. Fillmore was waiting to receive them. Af ter the usual shaking of hands. Alderman Briggs addressed him as follows: Mr. Fillmore —In the name of New York and of this natiou, 1 welcome you to your uative shores. Your countrymen have watched your pilgrimage through the Eu ropean States with solicitude, fearing that those natural calamities aiwiys impending over the living might depiive them of your valualde life, aud overwhelm your eouutry with universal sorrow, and 1 congratulate yourself and kindred that you have passed the danger of laud aud sea, and have re turned in health aud happiuess.to your na tive land; aud above all, 1 rejoice that you will return to the White house, to remove the vermin that have gathered there duriug your unfortunate absence from the uatioual helm. Our country- is blessed with all the climates and jxoductiona of nature, and with free institutions: and the Americans should kindle the fires of liberty and uuion in every vale and on every hill, on your safe return to again bless us with an administra tion that will enforce respect and obedience to our glorious flag wherever it waves, and restore unity, tran<{Uility, and contentment to the farthest frontiers of our beloved country. Mr. Fillmore in reply, then spoke as fol lows: Mr. Chairman—This unexpected and flat tering reception from the city of New York and my native State, reaches a heart that may not feel otherwise than grateful. It is true, sir, that for more than a year 1 have been a laborious traveler in foreign coun tries, and although I havo wandered far, my heart has always been with the Ameri can, people. (Great applause.) And this, sir, is the happiest and proudest day of my life, to be received by a city which is known throughout Europe. For, sir, travel where you will there, and ask the humblest peas act what towu he knows in the United States, and he will tell you that it is New York. (Applause.) I am proud to own that lam a native of tho State of New York, and lam prouder still, sir, to be able to say that I am an American eitixon. : (Applause, and three cheers were here gir en for Mr. Fillmore.) Sir, you .have been pleased to allude to my former scrrices in the councils of my country. It docs not become me to speak of the to here. They have passed into history. Much less does it become me to speak of the future. All I can say is, sir, that my name, un solicited ou my part, and, entirely unexpect ed, has lecn presented by uiy friends for : the suffrages of the people, if (they shall 1 see fit again to manifest their confidence in mo by elevating me to that high position, 1 all 1 can promise is a faithful and impartial administration of the laws of the country to [every part of the country. (Applause.)— If there be these either North or South who desire an administration for the North as against the South, or for the South as against the Noith,.they are not the men who should give their suffrages tome. — (Most enthusiastic applause and erics of "that's so.") For my own part ,1 know nothing but my country, my whole country and nothing but my country. [Great ap plause.) But, sir, lam unexpectedly call ed upon ou this occasion to address these few remarks, and must conclude by again returniug my sincere thanks to the Corpora tion of the city of New Yolk, which has done me the unexpected honor to welcome me hack again. (Applause.) A Voice—and the people toe. The people too—to all I return my thauks. A Voice —It is no corporation, but the people. Mr. Van Riper, on behalf of the Hoard of Councilruen, then welcomed Mr. Fill more, and congratulated him upou his safe return to his native land, to which Mr. F. bowed bis grateful acknowledgements. TUe committee now look Mr. Fillmore in charge, ami after two or three tremendous efforts, bueeeed in gettiug him over the side of the steamer, down the gang-plank, and alter that through the crowd into the carriage on the pier. The carriage was im mediately beset by an eager throng, and by aucther gigantic effort t'ue committee suc ceeded in getting it off the pier. The crowd then formed in a processiuu of five abreast, aud formed an escort for the ex- President up to the St. Nicholas, cheering all the way. When they icached the hotel, they found another crowd assembled in front, by which he was literaily overwhelmed. B.forc be ; could be rescued from the carriage, half a dozen stout, burly fellows had him by the uauds and by the coat, and for a time there was a struggle between them and the com- ( mi tree as to which should have possession i of him. By main strength, the committee : carried him off; and pushing him befor t t'ueu), they gained the duor m safety, rushed up stairs, ani followed by soma two or three dozen, they succeeded In getting him into a room, where Mr. Fillmore was saved from his friends. But the multitude outside be came impatient, aud were loud in their de mands to the committee to 'fetch him out.'" So be had to come, und his appearance on the balcony was greeted with a stonu of ap plause. Somebody called out three groans for the Black Republicans, and they were given with a hearty good wili. When silence was restored Mr. Fillmore spoke as follows: Fellow Citizens—l believe I shall hard ly trespass upon the Sabbath, as I think it is midnight— (A Voice - It is Monday morning. If 1 ventured so far as to return you my most cordial thanks for this very unexpect ed ' welcome back to iny native State.— (Great applause.) You can well conceive that a person coining from a long voyage, j weakened by sea sickness and distracted by 1 the dizziutss incident to such a sceue, can | hardly appreciate the enthusiasm of a street | full of people gathered at midnight for the | purpose of receiving me. (Applause.) I j can only say, fellow citizens, tiiat during : the absence of more than a year I have seen ! much of European life. 1 have been en | abled to contrast it with that of my own ' country. I have been able to look at the I c ondition of other nations as compared with imy own, and 1 eau say to you, fellow citi j zoos, that after ail my wanderings my heart j fondly turns to America as the home of my ! birth. (Applause.) But, fellow citizens, ! this is no time for a speech. I merely came | forward to thank you, and to say to you ; that from this time forward 1 am only of | you and with you. (lsmd and continued j cheering.) Mr. Fillmore retired amid enthusiastic cheering, and took supper with the commit tees. Thus ended the first night of Mr. Fillmore iu the great metropolis. If I thought I futJ a <hop of Democratic blood in my veins, / would let it out. JAMES RECII.VSAN. For information in regard to his maiming himself, ia order to be free from Democrat ic blood, we would call attention to the fol lowing letter, furnished by the Detroit Ad vertiser: v LANCASTER, May 31, 1837.— Dear Sir, i Yonr favor of yesterday was duly receiv ed by me this morning, and iti reply to the questions which yon have there addressed jo me, I hasten to state that a number of years ago, when the Federal and Democrat. |ic parties were nearly equally balanced ia this country, I was passing by the Court House one evening, and was informed by some persons that the Federalists were hp.ld jng a meeting in it at the time, and tha A t the lion. James Buchanan was addresjsmg it. Although I was a member of the Demo cratic parly, i nevertheless went in tc hear what he had to ray, because, I was ulwsj* pleased with his delivery and his manner ot' speaking. I had not been in the Com? House long, before he elevated his right baud above his head. nd in an empbati manner exclaimed, "If I thought I Lad .. drop of Democratic Mood in my vein-, I would let it out." I remember this ds. liaetly, because I turned to some pcrs.'ii who wis standing near me at the time, and observed, "Vint a rash and aVproper ev pression that is far any citizen to main uo on such an occasion." I recalled it, i.,.,; because it was a direct and unprovoked st~ tack upon the party to which 1 was warmly and ardently attached. From that time i ceased to entertain that respect for Mr. Bu chatian which 1 had formerly done. t Very respectfully, AKTHOXY M'OUV . Who doubts now but that .Turner li-ucira - jan made use of the expression? Hut- It was ouiy a boy then.' ; A FAIjSMIIOOD CONTRA IGCTKH j 'Ve have, on more than one occasior., ; heard Mr Bacbsnan declare that there was , no . iving statesman for whom lie entertain- Jed a higher lespygj, or a warmer personal friendship, than Mr. Clay: and. politically, iie a!wa\s conceded to him the purest nw | tives und most exalted patriotism.

And this, tbe testimony taken by the Congres sional Commission will conclusively show. And yet, no oral or writte i testimony can portray the height and depth, the length and brcadtb of the outrages perpe trated in that Territory under the color of law, and by authority of men who hold commissions under the President of the I" 8.
