Buchanau and (ho Presidency.
The friends of James Buchanan have
adapted the only plan thai can afford them
the least prospect of success—that is, if
possible, to iuduce the voters to take their
candidate at his nominal inatead of bis real
value. Every effort is being made to rai* e
adust, and blind the eyes of the people!
Great is James Buchanan, the .Statesman—
Pennsylvania's favorite son! They have
eo bespattered their candidate with fulsome
praise, that even he Boarcely recogtute.*
himself, and fancies that he is no longer
Jamas Buchanan, but a platform of pro
gressive Democratic principles! The suc
cessor of Franklin Pierce, and a partner in
the firm of Douglas, Stringfellow & Co.
Di those men really believe that James
B Hainan is the favorite sou of Ponasvl
v-mia! Do they presume that the advocate
of low wages cm possibly receive a major
ity of the votes of her hard fisted yeoman
ry? Will the laborers of Pennsylvania be
stow their suffrages on the man who would
reduce their wages to a level with th- se of i
the an 1 slaves of European
despots.' Vain illusion! Let the ballot j
boxes spoilt.
13 it J iniiia IJudunan, the gr:at Puensyl
vania statesman! What is the real value
of hU statesmanship? Will the friends of
the candidate of the Cincinnati convention
be kind enough to poiut to a single opinion
of his, (and real statesmen have opinions)
on the various political topics of the day,
that is not neutralised by his other opinions
on the same subject? Why the most cher
ished article in the political creed of James
Buchanan wcnld be repudiated by him to
morrow, should it conic in contact with his
personal interest! A cunning lawyer like
Mr. Buchanan docs not deal in opinions
without resitting his for.
Tint Jurats Bnchanau is a favorite, is
certain—not with a majority of Pennsy'.va
nians, but of a certaiu class of Southern
politician*. Even they do not admire the
man, but adusira the alacrity with which hi*
mounted the Platform. He who was so
rcadv to chargo tho iinmortat Clay with
bargain, has, no doubt, given sufficient as
sursnces to his southern rupporters —that,
for and in cousiJeration of the sum of one
hundred thousand dollars, to be to hiui,
tho said James Buchanan, in hand paid, be,
the said James, will, if elected, as Presi
dent, to the best of hi* ability, render and
perform, for the term of four years, from
and after the fourth day of Maroh next, ail
and singular. the-serriees required of him
by the Cincinnati Platform. And, should
it be deemed expedient, for the interest of
Southern democracy, to alter or amend the
said platform, then and in that ease, he
the said James, will adopt, for his govern
ment, such altered or amended Platform.
And it is hereby agreed upon, that if the
said James Buchanan proves faithful to the
peculiar institutions of the South, for aod
during said term of four years, then they,
the said Southern politicians, will aid in
•he election of the said James to the said
office, for a second and like term.
Ah! But by electing James Buchanan
the Union will be saved! Ravo the Union
again? Why, tho Uaioo was saved four
years *go, by tbo adoption of the finu.ty
resolution of the Baltimore Platform, and
subsequent election of Franklin Pierce.
It is to be hoped that the Constitution of
the Union has not been so Duob impaired
by the treatment of ita democratic physi
cians, as to be again ia danger of dissolu
tion! Perhaps it ha* too much Democratic
blood in its system, so 1 the services of the
said James are required to let it out
Vrrhsp* it is the onion betwoon James Bu
chanan and Uncle Sam's money ehc.t that
is in danger of being severed? That would,
to him, be indeed a calamity! Well. But
James Buchanan is not a sectional candi
date. lie was nominated by a convention
oi the universal Democracy, and—South
Carolina!
Are there no sectional planks in the Cin
cinnati platfcrml Recollect, James Bu
chanan and the said platform are new one
and the same. If James Boobanan should
he elected, would he not be bound to fol
low in tho footsteps of bis illustrious pre
decessor! Would he not sustain tbe doc
trine of squatter sovereignty! Would he
pot a obeek to border ruffianism, and the
subjugation of freedom* Who are James
Buchanan*# most noisy supporters in the
Booth) Are they not tbe most unblushing
ultra, and virion! advocates of human bon
dage—the most determined and desperate
opponents of that inestimable right of free
men, tbe right of speech! Aso they not
the advocates of the extension of slavery
into territory declared free, by the tune
honored compromise of I&JO* No doubt

j body they have disgraced, and from which
they were virtually expelled, will be a vote
for the anti-.sectioual James Buchanan!—
Why ail this sectional sympathy, if the
candidate is not, for their purposes, relia
ble? These men want, for President, one
who will take particular care of their pecu
liar institutions. The charge of section
alism comes with a bad grace from such
a quarter.
The stale cry of 'save the Union,' is, in
its present application, supremely ridicu
lous. It is uttered only by demagogues.
It is an implied slander on the republic,
propagated for pay. The North contends
only for the principles upon which the gov
ernment was founded. The South may
contend against those principles, but her
threats of dissolution are mere bluster. If
ever the Union be dissolved, its dissolution
will be caused by the mad freaks of pro
gressive democracy, under the influence of
the slave power.
When a man boas'i of his superior hon
esty, we set bitn down as a sly rogue. So
when we hear the advocates and apologists
of slavery claim for themselves an exclusive
love for free institutions, wc have just
ctuee to doubt their fidelity to them.
Lotus thm inquire: is James Buchanan
"just sr.eli a firm, consistent and independent
man is required for the chief magistracy
of this great Republic? If he is not, and
is nothing more than a cunning mousing
politician, f?ady to embrace anj political
creed—ready to cater to sny cause, that
'thrift may follow fawning,' reject him—
the praises of his parasites to the contrary
notwithstanding.
THE BARGAIN, INTRIGUE AND ;
CORRUPTION CANDIDATE.
Statement of Mr. Clay, as written out by j
himself. and furnished to Mr. Colton,
his biographer.
'♦Sometime in January, eighteen hundred
and twenty five, and not long before the
election of President of the United States
by the House of Representatives, the Hon-
Jfttnoo Kaolutntn, tben a mcuil/Cf vf ll*v"
House, and afterwards many years a Sena
tor of the United States, from Pennsylvi- i
nia, who had been a zealous and influential
supporter of General Jackson, in the pre- ;
ceeding canvass, and was supposed to en
joy hi* unbounded confidence, called at the j
lodgings of Mr. Clay, in the city of Wash- I
ington. Mr. Clay was, at tbe time, in the
room of bis only messmate in the House,
his intimate and confidential friend, the
Hon. R. P Letcher, since Governor of Ken
tacky, then also a member of the House.
Shortly after Mr. Buchanan's entry into the
room, he introduced the subject of the ap.
preaching Presidential election, aod spoke
of the certainty of tbe election of his fa
vorite, adding that he would form tbe most
splendid Cabinet that tho country had ever
had. Mr. Letcher ajked, how he could
have one more distinguished than that of
Jefferson, in which were both Madison and.
Gallatin! Where would he be able to find
equally eminent men! Mr. Buchanan re
plied, he would not go-out of this roon for
a Secretary of State, looking at Mr. Clay.
This gentleman (Mr. Clay) playfully re
i marked that be thought there was no tim
' her there fit for a Cabinet officer, unless it
were Mr. Bucbaaau himseif.
Mr. Clay, while he was so hotly assailed
with the charge of bargain, intrigue and
corruption, during the administration of
Mr Adams, notified Mr. Buchanan of his
inteution to publish the above occurrence,
bat by tbe earnest entreaties of that gen
tleman, be was induced to forbear doing
so."
Statement of Gen. Jackson.
HERMITAGE, Feb. 28,1845.
"Yonr observations with regard to Mr.
Buchanan are correct. He showed a want
of moral courage ia the affair of the in
trigue of Adams and Clay—did not do* mo
justice in the expose he then made, and I
am sure about that time did believe there
i was a perfect understanding between Ad
ams and Clay about the Presidency and
the Seeretary of State. This lam sure of.
But whether he viewed that there was any
corruption in the oaeo or not,-I know not,
but one thing 1 do knew, that Ac wished me
to combat them with their own weapons—
that was to let my friends say if I was dec- \
ted, 1 would make Mr. Clay Secretory o)
State. Thie to me appeared grow corrup
tion, and 1 repelled it with that honest in
dignation M (which) I thought it dor
served.

Mr. Buchanan's Political Record.
THE OSTEND CIRCULAR
A tx la Chapklle, Oct. 18th, 1854.
Sir-: —The undersigned, in compliant
with the wish expressed by the President in
the several confidential despatches you have
addressed to us, respectively, to that effect,
have met in conference, first at Ostend, in
Belgium, on the Dth, 10th and 11th instant,
and then at Aix la Cbappelle, in Prussia, on
the days next following, up to the date
hereof.
There has been a full and unreserved
interchange of views and sentiments between
us, which, we are most happy to inform you }
has resulted in a cordial coincidence of
opinion on the grave and important subjects
submitted to our consideration.
We have arrived at the conclusion, and
are thoroughly convinced, that an immediate
and earnest effort ought to he made by the
Government of the United States to pur
chase Cuba from Spain at any price for
which it can be obtained, not exceeding the
Bum of $
[The price here left in blank, as appears
from the argument which follows, was $l2O.
000, 000. The Circular then goes into an
argument to show that Spain would be bene
fitted by the purchase at that price, and
then concludes as follows:]
Bu if Spain, dead to tho voice of her
own interest, and actuated by stubborn
pride and false sense of honor, should rer
fuse to sell Cuba to the United States, then
the wOi !•. * i, *l*
course of tho American Government under
such circumstances.
Self-preservation is the first law of na
ture, with States as well as with individu
als. All nations have, at different periods,
aeted upon this maxim. Although it has
been made the pretext for commiting fla
grant injustice, as in the partition of Po
land, and other similar eases which history
records, yet tho principle itself, though of
ten abused, has always been recognised.
The United States have never acquired
a foot of territory except by fair purchase,
or, as in the ease of Texas, upon the free
a nd voluntary application of the people of
that independent State, who desired
to blend their destinies with onr own.
Even onr acquisitions from Mexico are
no exception to this rule, because, although
we might have claimed them by the right of
conquest in a just war, yet wo purchased
them for what was then considered by both
parties a full and ample equivalent.
Our past history forbids that we should
acquire tho Island of Cuba without the
consent of Spain, unless justified by the
great law of self-preservation. We must,
in any event, preserve our own conscious
rectitude and our own self-respect.
Whilst pursuing this course, we oan afford
to disregard the censure of tho world, to
which we have been so often and so unjust
ly exposed.
After wo shall haTe offered Spain a price
for Cuba far beyond its present value, and
this shall have been refused, it will then be
time to consider the question. Does Cuba,
in the possession of Spain, sorionsly endang
er our internal peace and the existence of
our oherished Union?
Should tint question be answered in the
affirmative, then, by every law, human and
divine, we shall be justified in wresting it
from Spain if we possess the power, and
this upon the very same principle that would
justify an individual in tearing dov-n the
burning house of bis neighbor, if there
were no other means of preventing the
flames from destroying bis own homo.
Under such oircustanoea, we ought neith
er to count the cost nor regard the odds
which Spain might enlist against us. We
forbear to enter into the question, wbethe r
the present condition of the island would
justify snob a measure. We should, how
ever, be reoreaot to oar duty, be anwerthy
of oar gallant forefathers, and commit base
treason against onr posterity, should we per
mit Cuba to bo Afrioaniied and becomo a
soeood St. Domingo, with all its attendant
horrors to the white race, snd suffer tho
flamoa to extend to onr own neighboring
shores, seriously to endanger or actually to
consume the fair fabric of qjrr Union.

BEDFORD, PA., FRIDAY. SEPTEMBER 19 1856.
From the A*. York Herald.
President Pierce refuses to hear
the Free State Men of Kansas.
The Free State men of Kansas despatch
ed Mr. Arny as a special messenger to
Washington, to cail upon the President for
protection from the Buford men, as the
Southerners are called out there. We
learn that the President was too much oc
cupied to see the Free State agent when ho
called at the White House on the subject; and
he was turned over to Mr. Sydney Webster,
the private secretary of the President, who
informed him that it was his opinion that
the Free State men would have to take cars
of themselves—that the President was just
now so much engaged that he could cot at.
tend to the matter. With this consultation, j
Mr. Amy left bis papers in the hands of \
the private secretary, and took his depar
ture from the White House.
The documents embrace a letter to the
President, and a semi-official account of the i
attack on Franklin. Here they arc:
Ml*. AUNT TO THE PRESIDENT.
To his Exatlltncy Franklin Pierce, Pre
sident of the United States:
Sin—A few days ago I had the boner to
address yon as secretary cf a mass conven
tioa held in McLean county, lliiuois, and to
transmit to yon certain certificates and af
fidavits, in relation to outrages perpetrated
by citizens of Missouri upon peaceable emi
grants from onr State and county, while on
the Missouri river and other public highways
of that State en route to Kansas.
Since then the "National Kansas Com
mittee," located at Chicago, Illinois, have
recived from the "Central Kansas Com
mittee," at Lawrence, Kansas, official in
formation iu regard to the pi epilation of
citizens of Missouri, and other States, to
drive out of the Territory of Kausas, o r
murder "all the Freo State settlers." The
facts will be found testified to in the affida
vit ot Robert Morrow, Esq., herewith en
closed.
The committers are Mlv satisP--* ' u ~*'
unless the general government immeliatcl v
interpose to prevent the incursions and
outrages contemplated by armed bands Of
men from Missouri ar*i other States,who are
prepared to overrun the territory, a civil
war will be the result, which will involve
the northwest against the South.
It will be apparent to your Excellency
that any military demonstration, such as is
contemplated by ciiizeis of Missouri and
oth**r States of t'uo South, against Free
State citizens of the Northwest, who have
ieft former homes to settle peaceably in
Kansas, will justify thuie persons, and also
the States from whence .bey came, to resort
to similar means in self-defence; and espe
cially so if the Executive of the United
States, or of the Stale of Missouri, should
fail to adopt measure! to prevent these un
lawful acts.
As the Free State citizens of Kansas de
precate civil war, atd have evinced their
desire for peace by tleir submission to rob
beries and other outrages; they appeal to
you to protect them; and in behalf of their
Committee, whose eredentials I bear, as
also iu behalf of thijNational Kansas Com
mittee, of which I htve tho honor to be a
member, I solicit year immediate consider
ation of this important subject, and the in.
terposition of yeur power and authorty to
prevent the itnpendiig civil war, and its at
tendant horrors. VLth all respect, yours,
W. F. M. ARNY.
Washington City, August 21, 1856.
Uufus Choate.
The Louisville Joamaf alludes to Mr.
Choate in this wise:
Mr. Choate, it will be emembered.longed
ardently for the seat ujpn the bench of
the Supreme Court of tie United States
which President Fillmoie finally gave to
Mr. Curtis, not only in tie matured convio
tion that he would be thobetur appointment
but upon the reluctant jet positive advice
of Mr. Choate's own tuosi loved and trusted
friends. How far cofsiderations arising
from this bitter disappiintment may have
, driven Mr. Ohoate into the Democratic
I ranks, those familiar Wth bis impetuous
and bigb-wrowght tetupenment and with his
quick and burning ati inextinguishable
resentments, can dctertune for themseuvs.
It is, however, a mattei of no p*actical
moment. Mr. Choate ii a brilliant rhet
orician, and upon the wrjng side of a case,
is a masterly advocate, tyt * s a statesman,
or even as a politician, to is an acknowled
ged failure. His pretoiWions iu this respect
exploded disastrously tin or fifteen years
ago. His publio is absolutely
nothing. Ho might dirfto morrow, sivhout
producing any more sejsible void in the
political world than the falling of a meteor
produces in the pbyswfl worlJ ' i# 4
Ige rgaoua hum bug. j .
The above reference to Mr. Choate's
unsuccessful application for a seat on the
Bench of the Supreme Court, reminds us
that Senator Pearce, of Maryland, was
also an unsuccessful applicant for a similar
position during the Administration of Mr.
Fillmore, and that his application was re
jected for Ais deficiency in legal learning
and experience. If this fact be questioned,
we refer to the endorsement on his applica
tion in the files of the State Department
We are further informed that Mr. Pearce
was also an applicant for the place of United
States District Judge of Maryland, and
that this application was rejected because
he would not pledgo himself to reside in
Baltimore or its vicinity, instead of Ches
tertown, which is situated on the Eastern
shore of Maryland, and separated from the
Western shore, where the United Slates
Courts are held, by the Chesapeake bay.—
Mr. Pearce is the owner of a farm near Ohes
tertown, on which he resided, and which he
represented to be essential to Lis suppor t .
Wc make this statement for the purpose
of elucidating the probable cause of Mr.
Pearce's opposition to Mr. Fillmore. Mr.
Cboate and himself appear to be in the same
boat.— Washington Organ.
CONFESSIONS OF JAMES BU
CHANAN.
We have charged that James Buchanan
is an old blue light Federalist—one of the
men who opposed the war of 1312, which
James Madison, a Democratic President,
with the assistance of the Democratic party
was fighting with the British aruiy in de
fence of our honor, and our rights and our
flag.
We dare any man to deny it. We can
prove it - Here is the evidence. Let every
candid Democrat read the confession of
James Buchanan, and then if be can vote
for a man who helped to hang blue-lights
aloug our Atlantic coast for the benefit of
the British red-coats, he can do a meaoe r
work than we thought a man could do.
Let James puvu.ui.ti iv> uuuwn
as follows:
"Copy of the Circular issued by the Fed
eralists of Lancaster in the Election Cam
paign of 1823, between Sfcuitz and Gregg
for Governor:
"\V E as FEDERALISTS take the liber,
of addressiug vou on the subject of the ap
proaching election for Governor. IV o wish
to communicate our sentiments to yott in
confidence, and we are anxious that you
should call on any of us when you visit
Lancaster and give us your opinion. IV e
wish to be united—we desire both to give
and take counsel.
The candidates have been brought into
your notice; tbey are competitors for the
highest State office in the gift of the pcc"
pie-
Mr. Gregg has been long in public life,and
has filled every station conferred upon him
by the people, with integrity and ability.
He has aoted a leading part in the admin
istration of Gov. Heister, and deserves
much of the credit to which he is enti
tled.
We are assured that ho resisted with all
his energy the adoption of the measure
which justly gave so much offence to the
Federalists of Lancaster county.
Without enlarging on the subject, we arc
decidedly of the opinion ibat whether we
consider the public good or the interest of
our party, there is but one coarse left for us
to purane, and that is to support Mr. Gregg.
Should you be of the same opinion wo calcu
late much on your exertions.

LOFT TUMBLING.
Now if Buchanan is an old bachelor, he
proves by his political somersaults that be
is as young and supple as any of his rivals
in the political gymnasium. In the year of
grace one thousand eight hundred aud
fifty-six, and in the sixty-sitxth year of
said Jamas' age, he makes one grand tum
ble from the position ha so long held xud
defeuded ou tho Missouri Compromise. —
lie changes bis position as easy as the |
"little joker" under the thimblo, and we
warn the friends of Freedom in Pennsylva
nia not to trust the Bafety of their cause in
tho hands of so wily and unreliable a poli
tician. Below we give a few points in his
history:

Terrible Disaster.
DESTRUCTION OF THE MOUNT
VERNON HOTEL.
Capo Island, Sept. 6.
The mammoth Mount Vernon lljtei, at
this place, took So Inst night at a quarter
to eleven o'clock, and wis totally consumed.
The other hotels escaped uq injured.
The origin of the fire is unknown. Mr.
Cain, the lessee of the bonse, was residing
in the building, and had retired previous to
the alarm of fire. His sru, Philip Cain,
Jrt escaped from the building by leaping
from the second story window, but was bad
ly burned.
With the exception of the son, the whole
of Mr. Cain's family perished in the flames.
The following is a list of those loot:
Fhilip Cain, Sr., the lessee.
Andrew Cain,
Martha Cain.
Sarah Cain, and
Mrs. Alhertpon. . ~, .
The charred remains o. Mr. Lain were
found this morning.
FURTHER PARTICULARS.
Mr. Philip Cain, Sr., with Col. Frank
Foster, were the proprietors of tho ill-fa
ted hotel. Mr. Cain resided at Viucec
town, N. J., and went to Cape Island tb e
present season, for the purpose of opening
the hotel. He was sixty-five years of age-
Andrew Cain, his son, was about twenty
years of age. Martha was in her seven
teenth year, and Sarah was but thirteen.
Mrs. Albortson .ras thirty-five years of
age. She was a wiuow. She had gone to
the Island to act as housekeeper at the ho
tel.
The elder Mr. Cain leaves a wife and sev
eral children at Vincentown. Mr. Albert
son also resided there. Yoting Philip Cain
is about eighteen years of age.
The Mount Vernon Hotel was built by a
cenipany of gentlemen at a cost of §125,-
000.
The Mount Vernon stood at a consider
able distance tmua other houses on the Is
land, or the destruction of property would
have been still greater.
The furniture of the hotel belonged to j
Messrs. Cain & Foster. It was valacd at |
$24,000, upon which their was no insnr- j
auce. The total pecuniary loss by the con
flagration will not fall short of $150,000.
An Irish woman, whose husband had
been in the employ of Mr. Cain, and to
whom a hundred dollars was due for servi
ees, has beeD arrested on the charge of sot
ting fire to the hotel, and committed to
await a hearing. It is said that she had
the day before, and up to late the evening
previous, been heard to utter the most seri
ous threats against Mr. Cain. The build
ing was fired in three places, one of which
was directly under tbe chamber where sev
eral of the inmate* were sleeping. The re
port of the entire furniture of tbe hotel
| having been burnt is said to bo incorrect.
[ Most of it had been removed previous to
' the fire. It is also reported that nine per-
I sons were burned to death.
FILLMORE IN NORTH CAROLINA. AL.
though the State has gone Democratic, yet
we believe that Fillmore will gain enough
to carry the State by the 4th of November,
and our reason for thinking so is this. In
1852 Reid beat Kerr 5401 votes, and in
three inontha thereafter, Gen. Pierce only
carrfed the Bute by sow 500 votes. Now
i if Gen. Scott oould gain near 5,000 votes
i in three months, wo think it very oerUin,
! Fillmore, who i* at least three tiroes
stronger in our State than Gen. Sectt cve r
was, can gain enough to overcome Gov
Bragg'a majority, for many Democrats that
voted for Bragg will vote for Fillmore,
when they come to see that the contest xs
between Fillmore and Fremont.— S'niu*tl.

HOW THEY DECEIVE THEM
SELVES.
Our opponent* madly imagine that be
cause the Fiiltnore men throughout tb„
, country are not bellowing like wHd bulls
of Bashan be has no strength. In this
they ill fi o( j themselves entirely mista
ken. The Fillmore vote of the ecuntry
is composed, in a great measure, of con.
servative business people, who never joib
in noisy demonstrations, but will be on
hand whenever there is voting to do. It
i true that Sam's Sons— God bless them!
j —make themselves felt as well es seen
j and heard occasionally, and will do so,
more effectually, when the day of battlo
j comes; but the steady, middle aged work
i mg men ef our party have no taste for such
demonstrations. They prefer to take caro
of their families, and when the day's work
is over, to be at home with their wives and
children. You will not find them about
groggeries and lager beer dens besotting
themselves with drink, so as to be unfit for
the nest day's duties. But when the trial
comes, then you may look out for these
hardy sons of toil, with their brawny arms
and manly forms, in all the pride.of Amer
ican freemen. Then the spawn of Europe
an jails and almshouses must stand asido
and make way for the sons of the American
soil, who will csrtaiuly make themselves
heard and felt if necessary.
DESPERATION OF THE BUCHAN
IERS.
The following article from the Lebanon-
Courier, is very applicable to this latitude:
„ u The negro Democracy, feeling the des
perate state of their ci-use, are moving'
Heaven and Earth to stay the tide that is
rolling on to overwhelm them. They ar<*
spending the money of government like wa
ter, and every man in government employ
is compelled to give a portion of his salary
for the use of tbe party. Even on the
hands employed about the Philadelphia Na
