DESCAISGD EM A DEMOCRATIC DOEUMEXT. RICH disclosures. W e have been placed in possession of the following document, which was prepared for private circulation, in 1852, by promi nent and influential members of the Demo cratic party in Pennsylvania, to let their fellow Democrat*, in other States, know who James Buchanan is, what are his ante cedents, and how tho success of the de mocracy in the State would be endangered by Lis nomination for the Presidency. It is printed on a letter sheet, and one of the original copies is in our possession, and may be seen at our office. Read it carefully.— It tolls plain home truths by those belonging to Lis own party. It cannot be denounced as a Whig, nor as an American, nor as a Republican lie; for it is the product of Democrats, high in the conffdence of the j par'y. Being Democratic authority, what Democrat can question its truthfulness.— 1 Of the genuineness of the document, there cn be no doubt, and we caution, in ad vance, the Feuu.-ylvanun not to pronounce it a forgery, lest it may force us, in estab lishing its authenticity, to reveal facts by no means beneficial to the Buchanan cause: THE PRESIDENCY. Can Mr. Duc'utnin, if nominated, car ry Pennsylvania, and obtain its electoral vote! AYhv not? / Pennsylvania is essentially a I Democratic State, and the intriusic demo i cratic majority is Mot less than 10,000 and ; at the next election it ought to be double I that number. This is true—a fixed fact, i notwithstanding that frauds of enemies and j dissent'oris among friends, have placed the | Democracy of Pennsylvania in a minority !on several important occasions. There ! must then be some reason why the question of the ability of Mr. Buchanan to obtain ihe ordinary democratic vote should be agi tated and db-eussed, especially as the agi tation and discussion come from his peculi ar *wl eirricrivo frkmiv. nwi indeed the questioning of a thing that ought to be re garded as past denial, in itself creates a strong doubt. This doubt does exist with his friends, that is to say, with those whom he exclusively favors with his consideration, and who are willing to jeopard everything of the party to take the chance of obtaining with him and uudcr him the reward of their extraordinary labors. With those of the democratic party who do not desire his nomination, his ability to obtain the elec toral vote of the State is not at all a matter of doubt. They believe it to bo a matter of certainty that he never can receive that vote, and as no President has ever been elected bytbe people without the vote of Pennsylvania, 1852, t'acy believe, will not 1 form the first exception, i The course and career of Mr. Buchanan J have been very unsatisfactory and calcula ted to produce the very factions which now | split the democracy of Pennsylvania; for 1 years pat it Las been his habit and that of ' his friends to oppose everybody and every | thing not suited to their views and their iu -1 terests, embittering by their opposition, j those whom it will be necessary to concili ; ate anu appease before the electoral vote cf Pennsylvania can be even hoped for by tho democratic party. There yet live many who cannot forget that 3lr. Buchaoanau'a early political life was mainly characterized by its fierce and virulent opposition to the democratic party of the State, and these never will vote for him as President. The speech made by him after the war lives in their recollec tion, and has been so often republish ed as to be well known; what his feelings then were, may be known by the following extracts: "True to their original principles and their first leve, iho democratie party of that day became more the friends of the French as they became more the enemies of social order." "Torrentn of personal abuse were poured out by the democratic party upou his head." "The democratic administration (Jeffer son's) next declared war against com merce." "A man (Madison) who preferred his pri vate interest to the pub'ic good." "By bis (Washington's) degenerate suc cessor Madison." "Thanks to Heaven we have obtained peace, bad and disgraceful as it ts; other wise the beautiful structure of the federal government, supported by the same feebl® hands, might have sunk like the capitol, in to ruins-" That these are true extracts Mr. Buchan an never has denied, and will not deny; they serve to show the character of his par- I tisan fealings at that time, and as age is j apt to bring back the feelings and sentiments i imbibed in early manhood, there is so much at stako as would make those* who bave'felt his lash unwilling to risk its reception.— Besides, too, the compliment to the sons of the Old Dominion, the denunciation of Thomas Jefferson and James Madison might be.as productive of danger in Virginia as. Pennsylvania, where the democracy revere their,very names. ! 'Shortly after this Mr. .Buchanan was I elected by the Federalists of his own coun ; ty as a member of the Legislature, and as such distinguished himself only by his un | deviating attachment to Banks, small notes under sl, aiul suspension of specie pay ments, local matters of which the Democ racy of Pennsylvania have an abhorrence, and from the effects of which they have se verely suffered. The proposed admission of Missouri into the Union, as a .State, it is known, gave rise to a serious and violent agitatatbm ou the subject of slavery, and at a public meeting in Lancaster, Mr. Buchanan wrote and of fered the following resolutions identical with the far famed and now odious Wiltuot Proviso: "Resolved, That the representatives in Cougress from this district be. am} are hereby most earnestly requested to use their utmost endeavors, as members of the National Legislature, to preveut tlte exis tence of Slavery in any of the Territories or States, which amy be eteeted by Con gress. "Resolved, That in the opinion of this meeting, the members of Congress, who at tbe last session sustained the cause of jus tice, humanity, and patriotism, iu opposing the introduction of slavery into the State, then endeavored to be , formed out of the Missouri Territory, are entitled to the warm est thanks of every friend of humanity.'' These were followed by u resolution of the State Legislature iu conformitj, bitter and malignant against slavery, by whom written is not known with certainty, tho' there is a strong suspicion of its paternity. If those whe recoilact the oaitstion of those days, can forgive Mr. Buchanan and deem him safe on the subject, a score of years may give David Wilrootas the Dem ocratic candidate for President, with the same forgiving spirit which the South, the existence of whose uecessary domestic in stitution was assailed, is Expected now to diaplny. This is cot forgotten in Pennsyl vania, nor Mr. Buchanan's utter iudiffer ence (if not opposition) to the compromise measures while in progress, and as the State is sound to the core on this subject, many of its democratic sous will never vote for any one whose entire soundness facts give too much reason to doubt. The democrats of Pennsylvania worship ped Andrew Jackson with a political idol atry; she was the first to support him, and never deserted him, and many of them re collect the attempted traffic by Mr. Buchan an (as General Jackson asserted) ui:h him ou the subject of tho Presidency in 1825, nr.d will never give their votes to him on this account. The popularity of General Jackson in Pennsylvania broke up ati'l dispersed for ever the Federal Party of the State, and it never has been revived uor re-uniteu under that name, and it was not until after there tvas no Federal party left that Mr. Buchan an became a democrat, and certainly for all the penitence ho has manifested for his ear ly political sins, and for all his services to democracy, a seat in the U. S. Senate, a full foreign mission, and a Cabinet office are sufficient compensation. Mr. Buchanan's recent course has but served to confirm and spread the opposition which his early politi cal position engendered; he has made and kept alive faction and opposition in the par ty, and there is now scarcely a county in l he State where there is not a fierce contest between the Buchanan and the Anti-Bu chanan portion of the democratic party, these thiugs do make his nomination a mat ter to be dreaded, and if this nomination is to be made out ot any complimeut to Pennsylvania, it is misplaced when the fol lowing letter of Mr. Buchanan, written while Secretary of State, to avoid payment of a slight tax which the necessities of his State had rendered inevitable to redeem her character from the charge of repudiation, is carefully read: • Washington, Feb. 16,154 G. Dear Sir—l have received yours of the 12th iftstant, informing me that, not know ing whether I considered myself a resident of Lancaster, you have assessed me as such. I had supposed that yott oould have known ibat 1 had removed from Lancaster nearly a year ago, and "have evor since been an ac tual resident of this city, where ray official duties require that I should reside. I trust that at some future period 1 may again be come a resident of Lancaster, but that is wholly uncertain. J AS. BUCHANAN. Michael Bundel, Esq., - BEDFORD, PA., FRIDAY, AUGUST 1 1856. Pennsylvania is not so selfish as to de sire a nomination which shall peril the suc cess of the democratic party of the Union, and with the knowledge that Mr. Buchanan cannot obtain its electoral vote, or with even a doubt on the Subject; with kindred certainty or doubt about .New York, and Ohio and several oibfcr States, such a haz ard should not be run. If the nominatign is to be given to Pennsylvania let it be of s ome one against whom no democrat enter tains feelings of opposition, whose political course has been straight,forward, consistent and national, who can receive tho willing support of the democracy of ail sections of the nation, and who can nnite the democra cy of his own State; and if no one such can be found, let it be of any well known dem ocrat, whose past life shall be the pledge for the future-, there is a glorious and bril liant list from which a good selection may be made. 7'ime was, that 3 candidate for the Presi dency was sought and invfted, and it might not be bad if it were so once again; but alas, in Pennsylvania, tho democrats have witnessed an itiuefcuit candidate interfering iu local elections, in small appointments, iu centralizing the ii of a packed ma jority and crushing the minority, and they fear that with sublux candidate their Slate may again be harnfc*ed to the car of tho en emy. Sad must be of the democ racy of tbe Uniou* when a man is to be presented as a candidate for President, who at home is the fruA.iil subject of conten tion and politics, disaster, and who places at risk the succes- of the patty at tbe ca lumniating point of its greatest triumphs. the forgoing was written, the PeutisylrartiaOj the piper peculiarly in Mr. 13.'s interest, lias dewier! that Mr. Bucfaau an in 1830 attfadoi a meeting in Lancas ter such as rt.i L-i: She denial an evasion, for although true ir= letter, it is untrue in spirit, the mee ing Saving been held on 21th Nave in her, i 31D. April, lSdib j HOW TIIE rlJ.s.-MOME MEN CALCU Although in 1844 and 1852 a Democrat ic President was elected because the vote was cast by States and not by the whole people directly, since 1836 the Democratic Party has never had a clear unquivoeal ma jori'y of the popular vote of the country. Taking the average of the pluralities, it has not even had the plurality of the popu lar vote, and at this time it i in a minori ty of at least 300,000, and perhaps of 500,000, vutes. We have not now room to go into details to show these facts, but will iu a few days present to our readers the statistical tabic from which every one can make the calculations for himself. In the State election last year in the Northern States, the Democratic Party were in a po_ pular minority iu that section alone of about 310,000. The only Northern States in which it had a majority than wore Illi nois, Indiana and New Jersey, and in these the majorities were very small. It is an other important feattro in Northern polities that the great mass of w'.iat constitutes the Free Soil Party, which, since the Nebraska bill, has grown into a positive element of political power has crme from the ranks of the Northern Democratic Party. This fact if doubted or deuied can bo conclusively shown. It is not now conteudcd that.the nominee of the Cincinnati Convention can carry any Northern State, except perhaps Pennsylvania. It is well known that throughout the whole North the indorse ment of the Nebraska bill, the Kansas out rages, and the Sumner and Brooks affair have alienated from the, Democratic Party there a very considerable amount of the strength which it had last year, and that the defection from its ranis has been so im mense as to increase the Majorities against it in all the States in width it was then iu the minority aud to place it beyoud question in minority in Illinois, Indiana and New Jersey. The only pretence for the supposi tion that Pennsylvania would give a majori ty for Buchuu is the fact that he is a native of that State, but the last elections there show a large majority against the Democrat ic Party, and the defection of the whole German population, which has hitherto been Democratic, but has now gone over to Freo mont, renders tha prospect for the success of Buchanan utterly hopeless there as well as in every other Northern State. In tbe South his chanceiare better tha n in the North, but even "here, Delaware Maryland, Kentucky, North Carolina, Ten nessee, Florida* Louisiana;and Missouri, wuich give together sixty-three electoral votes, are certain to cast their votes for Fillmore; while in Virginia,; Georgia, Ala bama and Mississippi, giving forty-one elec toral votes, there is a very fair prospect of Fillmore's success, BO that <)ot of the 196 votes in the electoral eollegd, by no proba- ble contingency will Mr. Buchanan receive more than fifty seven, and it may be that Le will not get more than sixteen electoral votes. Iu the North, the opposition to the Ameri can party is divided into a number of petty factions, all of which are purely sections} and scatcely any of which possess the strength and diguity of a great party.— Nearly all of that, faction in the North which bolted from the American parry on account of its adoption of a national platform bave concluded to give their support to Fillmore. At the recent convention in New York a large portion ot the bolters from teu differ ent States seceded from the convention and placed in nanimation Counno. Stockton.— After the nomination of Freemorit a num ber of others declared their intentions to support the national American candidates in preference to all others. The remnant of the bogus American republicans, who bave gone over to Freesoilism, is veiy slnall aud is composed of men altogether without in fluence aud without followers. The nomiu ation of Stocktou aud Rayner was merely intended as a compliment to them. It is understood that both of these geutleiuau are in favor of Fillmore, and the faetioP s by which they were tendered the compliment, of a nomination will follow ;u their foot steps. In the North, then, the contest wiil doubtless be narrowed down to Fillmore and Freemont. New York, Massachusetts Vermont und New Jersey, having iu all .iixty electoral votes, are set down by tbe shrewdest and best informed Northern politicians as certain for Fillmore, and by the aid of the oid line whig®, who hive gener ally declared in his favor, there is said to ba hnt little doubt of Lb carrying Ohio and California, and that Ue will have a very fair prospect for success in Indiana and Illinois, making together fifty oue electoral votes. Thus Fremont cannot, with any probability, obtain more than oue htusdred and sixteen and vary probably not more than sixty-five electoral votes. From these estimates, which we consei entioysly believe may bo relied upon as cor rect, it appears that there is no possible chance for the election of Buchanan by the people, and that tbe contest is principally between Mr. Fillmore and Uoh Fremont.— In this ease our Southern readers will see fur themselves that every vote which is giv en to Buchanan in the South will be a vote iu favor of Fremont. If the whole vote of the South were given to Buchanan still he could not be elected, aud if, at the same time, the whole vote of the North were given to Col. Fremont, be would be elected the President of the Uni ted States, representing not the whole coua tr}", but the seutimeuts and prejudices aud detestable policy of oue section and favor ing legislation in favor of the North as a gainst the Bouih. The American party, with Mr. Fillmore iu the field, is the only hope of the South to prevent this direful catastrophe. KBEXONT'3- "RELIGION. A geutleiuan, writing from Washington to tbe New York Tribune, thus notices the charge that Colonel Fremont has children reared in the Catholic faith, aud settles the question: , "To this it is sufficient to reply that no child of his has been educated a year, a month, or oven a day, in any Catholic in stitution, at Georgetown or anywhere else; and that they aro ail reared in the Protest ant faith of their parents —Mrs. Fremont having been, in her early youth, a Presby terian; but, on Iter marriage,to oblige her husband, having connected herself with his church, the Episcopalian. 13ut to show con clusively, beyond ail cavil, in what faith Col. and Mrs. Fremout have reared their children, 1 submit herewith the official cer tificate of the Reotor of the Church of tho Epiphany of Washington City, showing that all their children have been baptized in the Episcopal Church. "WASHINGTON CITV, July 12, 185G- "The following children of J. Charles and Jessie Benton Fremont have been bap tized in the Church of the Parish of the Epiphany, Washington, D. C.; their bapt isms being recorded in the register of said Parish: 1848, Aug. 15, Elizabeth M'Doweil Fre mont. 1848, Aug. 15, Benton Fremont. 1853, Dec. 28, John Charles Fremont. 1855, Aug. 1, Francis Preston Fremont. As none tvera baptized in u house, but all were brought to tbe church, the order of the Protestant Episcopal Church for "the Ministration of Public Baptism of In fants," was that which was used. J. W. FRENCH. ' Rector of the Parish of the Epiphany, Washington, P C" It will be noticed that these baptisms of Colonel Fremont's cbildreu were not per. formed privately, but publicly iu the church before all the world who chose to look on, to listen to the vows of the parents aud sponsors that they should be brought up in tbe iuitii ut the church. Among the spon gers these children were Col. Benton,Kit Carson, Capt. Lee, U.S. N., Francis P. Blair, and Col. Fremont himself (a strong point, us a Catholic could not promise such things;) and Mr. Blair, who has known Col* Fremont for many years intimately, is .astonished at the persistent attempts to force him to be a Catholic against his will, when he has known him always to be a Pro testant and to repeatedly declare himself a.s of that faith by education, conviction, and profession. The Sau Francisco Bulletin, thus assails tho character of Herbert, who shot Keating the waiter, in Washington: "His previous history is very much like most of our public characters—ouo of in famy an J shame. He is well known under the title of the 'Mariposa Gambler.' He is a gambler by profession, and we are told formerly dealt 'moiite' somwhere in Maripo sa county, and is without the slightest qualification for the responsible position he now occupies. We are much of tho opinion i that if justice bo not done on biin in Wash- ! ingtou, he may be a lit subject for our mends, the Vigilante in Mariposa, should he ever disgrace thai place with his presence, again. We are not surprised in the least to see John B. \\ ellcr, *,b-. .fena.or from this Slate, the trieud and supporter of the gambler McDuffie, volunteer Lis services to procure Herbert's release, even from a pre liminary examination, on account of his po sition as the Representative of a sovereign State.

In his letter to the Bueban au Ratification Meeting at Charleston, 3. 0., in which ha endorses Buchanan, he open !y preaches di.,anion, if the sectional insti tution of Slavery cannot be extended, and beautifully talks of the 'temple of llepubli. can Liberty crumbling into ruins,' if the Sooth cannot, as she nleases, support it by Slavery extension. Such is the spirit of his letter of endorsement of Buchanan.

Addresses were delivered by the Hon. T. 11. Burrows, late Secretary of this Common wealth. Mr. Buchanan was invited to be present and address the pupils, but hede clint-d, and gave as a reason thorefor, that the scholars had, sometime before, held an indignation meeting, at which they had de_ nouueed, iu the most caustic language, the dastardly and cowardly attack of the" assas sin Brooks upon Senator Sumner, and that his appearance at the school under these circumstances might be misconstrued by his 1 friends at the South.
