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.

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. W C are inclined to think they are
mistaken in the material of which jurors are
composed iu Washington."

assaulted Senator Sumner in the United
States Senate Chamber, and who, from the
foree cf opinion agairi3t him in the House cf
Representatives, on accouut of the assault
refiigned Lis seat iu that body, aud who si.id
iu effect, iu his speech of resignation, that
he would have killed Sumner, if the latter
had not wrested from him tbe cane with
which he was beating him, aud who, in his
speech btfcTe the Court whien tried biiu for
tbe offence, said he would act again, under
similar circumstances, as be had doue—this
samo Brooks endorses heartily the nomina
tion of Buchanan, aud beholds iu tho Cin
cinnati Platform the one best suited for him
to stand upon. 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.
The folio whig statement appears in a let
ter from Lancaster, Penn'a published in the
New York lYibuue: •
"Last week I weut to Millston, four miles
distant, to witness the closeing exercises of
the seascn, of the Model Normal School at
that plaee. 1 found them very interesting.
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. When 1 beard this
excuse diseased by bis friends the school
1 really pitted the sage of Wheatland—his
tortures must be as great as those of Doug,
