Sure enough, where are they? Let us endeavor to en lighten the anxious Gazette a littie. As our readers will remember, the hill for a re newal of the charter of the United States Rank was vetoed by Genl. Jackson during hU Presidential term, more than iventy j years ago. Since then there has been no ;U. S. Bank. It has been as dead to all in ' tents and purposes, as the embargo law of the late war. Notwithstanding all this, however, the Gazette, ami other papers like it, have been harping on the Bank and bringing its bloody ghost into every cam paign since, as a rallying cry of its igno rant followers, although it was no more a ' political issue than the history of the Chi nese Wall. Where is the Bank now, and why do not the same parties again bring it forth as n battle cry of the campaign? We answer, for the best reason in the world.— It is her mis? James Buchanan was a friend -J the I 'aited Slates Bank and it.: re-chai ter. For the last twenty years, even though the Bank was asleep in its grave, it answered Locofocoism to annually and bit terly denounce the Bank, and everybody that could hv either truth or falsehood be identified with it. But James Buchanan was one of the friends of that monster, the Bank, and therefore nothing must now be said upon the subject. This is what has become of the Bank. The proof of James Buchanan's position on this Bauk question is abundant,an Ino unimportant part of it may be found in that celebrated Fourth of July Oration of his, published by us in our pa per of the 4th instant. Knowing the reck iesness of Locofocoism, we expected the au thorship of that oration to be denied; but they not only admit it by their silence, but in last week's Gazette is a letter . over the signature of .Mr. Buchanan himself, in which it is candidly admitted. In that pat riotic production he says, "Time will not allow me to enumerate all the other wild and wicked projects of the Democratic Adminis tration." lie proceeds, however, to enu merate some of them, and one of these great grievances was il by refusing the Bank of the LniteJ States a continuance, of its char ter, and harassing the financial concerns of the government'' These arc James Bu chanan's own words, and hence the reason js veiy plain why we hear nothing more of the U. S. Bank- In the same spirit we may ask, what has become of the charges of "Federalism" and "Hartford Convention Federalists,'' about which we have heard so much from certain quarters time out of mind. True there has been 110 federal party iu existence tor many bug years, aad no perscu we presume, who sympatized with the proceedings of that Convention; and yet the presses which pro fessed to speak for the sham deinocracv have evciy year been long, loud and bitter in their denunciation of the Federalists, and in their dishonest attempts tc fasten the sap posed odium of that name upon all who dared to differ with tbem politically. Why is it the cry has becu so suddenly stopped and that we have heard nothing of it since the adjournment of the Ciueinuati Conven tion' We answer, simply because James Buchanan was i "Federalist.'" He was elected to Congress twice, if not three times, as a Federalist, and never a any thing tisc than a Federalist, and therefore it is that the abuse of Federalists lias ceased. We regret that the lenrrth ot our article will compel us to reserve for some future oc casion cur answers upon the subjects of the Tariff and the Indrgrndtrd Treasury. We believe we can answer them in a manner equally full and satisfactory. For the present tve must conclude with this single remark: That although Locrvfoeo isrnis just now very quiet upon these sub jects, and very careful nor. tc stir the ashes of the I'nited States Rank or of Federal ism, they have other rallying cries equally stale and useless, which will answer the same purpose. It now charges every matt with " abolitionism ," and an intention to "dissolv ■ the Union who will not bow down ami worship at the shrine of sham de mocracy. These last cries are of course just a* false, just as inapplicable, and have just as little to do with the reil issues of the Jay, as that of Bankman and Federalist ever bad, and yet they tire now the burdcu of their speeches, ' the legality of the vote of a.Mr. Page was raised. Before it was decided. Col. Samuel Young stepped up to the window where the votes were received, and said lie would settle the matter. The vote of Mr. J'age was with drawn, and Col. Young offered to vote, llere fused to take the oath prescribed by the Gov ernor, but swore he was a resident of the ter ritory, upon which Jit 3 vote was received, lie told Mr. Abbott, one of the judges, when ask ed if he intended to make Kansas his future home, that it wajs uoue of his business; that if lie were a resident then, he should ask no mure. After his vote was received. Col Young got up in the window-silland announc ed to the crowd that he had been permitted to vote, and they could all come up and vote lie told tin: Judges that there was no use in swearing t he others, as they woul I all swear as he had done. After the other Judges conclud ed te receive Col. Young's vote, Mr. Abbott resigned as Judge of Election, and Mr. Benji tniii was elected in his place. The polls were so much crowded until late in the evening that for a time, when the men had voted they were obliged to get out by lin ing hoisted up on the roof of the building where the election was being bWd, and pass out over the house. Afterward a passage wav through the crowd was made, by two lines of men being formed, through which the voters could get up to the polls. Col. Young inked that the old men lie allowed to go up first and vote, as they were tired with the traveling and wanted to go back to camp. The .Missourians sometimes cr.rae up to the polls in procession, two by two, and voted. During the day the Missourians drove off the ground some of the citizens, Mr. Stevens Mr bond, and Mr. Willis. They threatened to shoot Mr. Bond, and a crowd rushed after him threatening Mm. and as he ran from them some shots were fired at him, as he jumped off the bank of the river and made Ira* escape. The citizens of the town went over in & body lute in the aflernooa, when the polls had become comparatively clear,and voted. Before the voting had commenced, the Mis sourians said, if the Judge* appointed by the Governor did not receive their votes,, they would choose other Judges. Some of" them voted several times, changing their hats or coats and coming up to the window again. They said they intended to vote first, and after they had got through then the others could vote. Some of them claimed a right to vote under the .organic act. from the fact that their mere presence in the Territory constitut ed them reJdonts, though they were from M is consin, and had homes in Missouri. Others said they had a right to vote because Kansas belonged to Missouri, and people from the East had no right to settle in the Territory and vote there. 1 Jiev said they came to the Territory to elect a Legislature to mil themselves, a thj people of the Territory au- perfs in Mississippi and Arkansas are notv of a very suspicious character, and are im proving daily: and that in Virginia the Old Line Whigs, who, to the number of twelve thousand, turned the scale at tln last Gu bernatorial election in favor of Wise, will go in a body for Fillmore. If these spec ulations are based upon reliable data, it is therefore not improbable that Mr. Fillmore will succeed in carrying the following states: Massachusetts, Rhode Island, New York, N'efr Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Mary land, Virginia, Kentucky, Tennessee, Geor gia, North Carolina, Mississippi, Lousiana, Arkansas, Florida, Missouri, and Califor nia. '•lf, however," says the Time?, "the election goes to the House of Representa tives, as it must, no candidate having 1 f! votes, a majority .f the whole number of electoral votes, which amount in all to 29G, it is impossible to conjecture the result, while it is certain the Fillmore delegation of Tennessee, Kentucky, Missouri. Dela ware, and Maryland, will hold the balance of power, and may* force a union ou their candidate. It is evident tluit no one of the candidates lias a majority of the whole num ber of States, at prcseut in the House. Texas and I ova are ties, the former having one Ameriean and one Democratic member, aud the latter one Republican and one dem ocrat. If Mr. Cliiiginan' (Whig) should vote for Filluiore, North Carolina would also belied. Mr. Ruchauan has only nine cer tain States iu the House, viz: Alabama, Arkansas, California, Florida Georgia, Lou isiana, Mississippi, South Carolina, aud Vir giuia, with a probability of North Carolina. He would therefore have no chance in that body, as the vote is cast Ly States; and six teen being a majority of the whole number." OUT FOli FILLMOIiiJ. The FlatNburg Sentinel is out for Fill more and Donelson. In placing the tieket at the head of its columns, its editor says', among other things: "The American party may contemplate with conscious pride, the position of tlieij. candidate, and the contrast in which be stands to his competitors, upon a compari son of their Jives and public services. As we have faith iu the litness of the people to rule themselves, we belieye that no combi nation of circumstances can induce them to discard Mr. Fillmore in order to accept cither Isuchai:an or Fremont.

Banner. FILLMORE AND THE UNION.— The Augusta (Geo.) Chronicle thus al ludes to Mr. Fillmoie's Albany speech: "Mr. Fillmore's progress through his na tive State is compared with peculiar felicity to that of Harry of the West in his palmi est days. There arc many points of reseni -1 blauce between the two illustrious men: their sincere love for the Uuion, their un dying patriotism, their total forgetlulness of self, their outspoken chivalrous lan guage, and their noble preseuce which gives the world assurance of r. man. Since the death of Henry Clay, no speech has pro duced so profound an effect upon the Ainer. iean heart as that delivered Ly Millard Fillmore in the Capitcl at Albany. It has awakened long silent emotions, it has por trayed in glowing words the dangers tha 1 menace the country: it has rebuked the spirit of sectionalism; it lias revealed the shortcomings of the tiiuid and vacillating, it has caused the faithful to renew their faith from its fountain head—the Constitution."' 1• rom the .V. 1 ork Independent. SHALL J MAX BE J CATHOLIC .JGALYST ftJS WILLI Political heats are apt to hatch out false hoods as tropica! heats do venomous insects, Hut Christian men should be especially care ful that theij do not countenance or propa gate such falsehoods. At this time many newspapers recklessly charge Col. Fremont with being a Roman Catholic. '1 hough it has been authorita tively contradicted, it still continues o !e asserted, and in very positive sod impudent forms. We have takcu pains to inform ourselves in this matter, and now state to the Chris tian public the simple truth, that good men, at least, may cease to bear false wit ness. Col Freemont was blessed with a mother of devoted piety. She was a member of the Episcopal church, St. Philip's, CharkMon. S. C., and reared licr son in her own faith. Indeed, until he was fourteen, Col. Fremont was educated in the hope and expectation that he would become an Episcopal minister. At sixteen, he was confirmed in the Episco pal church, and has, ever since, when with in reach of the chureh, been an attendant and comunicant. And since his temporary sojourn in X. \crk, he his been an atten dant at Dr. Anthon's church, until recent" ly, and now he worships at Grace Church. Mrs. Fremont was reared strictly in the Presbyterian Church, and united with the Episcopal Chureh uj>oa her marriage with Col. Fremont. Their children have been hattisea in the Episcopal Church It is said that a drughter has been sent to a Catholic institution for education. So far ! rom it, she has never been sent away from home at all, but has been educated bv her own mother. It is well known that Mrs. Fremont is the daughter of Col. Benton, and that, at the time, her father was opposed to her mar riage. Col. Fremont personally solicited several Protestant Clergymen to perform the marriage ceremony, bur. on account of Col. Benton's opposition ro it, they were unwilling to do it. A female friend, in this exigency, said that she could find a clergy man, who would aid without fear, and brought in a Catholic clergyman, who mar ried tlietn. Like a true lover and gallant man, Fremont said he did not carc tc/io did it, so that it was done quick and strong Had arc been in Col. Fremont's place we would have been married if it had required us to walk through a row of priests and bishops as iong as from Washington to Ro un winding up with the Pope himself IIEXRY WARD HIECIIKR. REBELLION! REBELLION! The Demo cratic Reflector, au old Democratic paper, published at Hamilton, New York, won't go either Duchauau or the platform, it says "We totally repudiate the platform and the nominees of that body, Crst because the platform is not Democratic; and, secondly, because no one could have leeu nominated who adhered to the time-honored principles of the Democratic party."
