the progress of Mr. Dallas' oegotia-tio-

cpoc tt Central American question conUts of the revelations of the English press,

which cay be mainly authentic, and nay cotbe. But if tbey are completely authentic, aoar Philadelphia contemporary assumes them111 h thaw fT.irA n. r ,..chuckling on the part of thit government. Thebasis of tha anticipated settlement, a fore-

shadowed by the English prem, is tha cessionef the Bay IslaLds to Honduras, or tha sub-

mission of the claim of Honduras to an Impar-

tial arbiter, and tha abandonment of the Mof-jui-

protectorate upon condition! favorable tothe internal tranquillity of Central Americaand to the aafety of tha Mosquito Indiana.Neither of these proposals is In tha slightestdecree inconsistent with the position uniform-ly aaaintained by Great Britain throughout thecontroversy, while tha manner In which theyare ?ned to be real red clearly involves therelinquishment of tha original Question as set

p by the present administration, and the ad- -. justmect of the real points in dispute upon their

wn merits. The triumph, therefore, if thereis to be any, will not be ours unless it be atriumph to escape from the consequences ofoar own stupidity Unough the forbearance andmoderation of our adversary.

The administration initiated the CentralAmerican controversy as purely one of con-

struction. It claimed and undertook to maintain that Great Britain, in holding on to the territory between the rirera S.boon and Sarstoon,to the Bay Islands, and to the Mosquito proteetorate, committed a plain and flagrant violation

tftkt Clayton Bulieer treaty; and it called uponGreat Britain to abandon that territory, thoseIslands, and thia protectorate, as a matter ofrifbt der tat term ef tkt treaty. It made thewhole controversy to hinge upon the point ofconstruction. It demanded whatever it diddemand is virtue of the explicit stipulations ofthe treaty. Thit fact is undisputed among peo-

ple familiar with the subject. Great Britainfrankly, but in spirit of marked conciliation,accepted the issue thus absurdly tendered. Shereplied, through Lord Clarendon, that whileaba could cot assent to the construction placedby the Administration spon the Clayton Buiwer treaty, that while, indeed, she rrgarcedthat construction as strangely and uUerly inad-

missible, she was by no means unwilling butanxious to come to some friendly understand-ing, Independently of the treaty, in relation tothe ultimate subjects in dispute. She even wentso far as to offer on the threshhold of the con- -troversy substantially the very plan of adjust-ment by which we are told the difficulty isabout to be determined.

But the Administration moat obstinately andwillfully held her to the question of construc-tion, and refused to seek or accept ary conces-sions that were not yieldsd in obedience to itsown Interpretation of her obligations un-

der the trea'y. As may be easily conceived,the negotiations at this rite soon came to a'dead lock." The demand of the Administra-tion was distinctly made, and as distinctly re-

jected, as it ought to Lave been, for a more pre-posterous demand was never made by ona

government upon another. Of coursethe next step to be taken was war or someform of friendly accommodation. Greet Brit-ain, in pursuance of the conciliatory spirit shebad manifested from the beginning, tendered ar-

bitrator!, but Mr. Buchanan treated the overas an incredible joke, na'il it was finally

th. ust upon kim by Lord Clarendon. The timelor action had now come, or, rather, actioncould be no longer evaded. The Administra-tion, driven flat to the wall by this simple andjust proposal, at otce backed down from theoriginal question of construction, it daredwot r.bmd ta arbitration, deliberately con-

fessed, in the teth of its whole previous argu-ment, that thia original question was so totallyirrelevant that it might be determined in favor of

ither party without determining the real ques-tions in dispute, and, after all its bold, uncom-

promising reliance upon the treaty, consent dto submit the real questions io dispute to arbi-

tration, as simple question efjaet, if indtpend-an- tnegotiation should fail to adjust them.

Now, io the name of common sense and com-mon candor, where is the triumph in all this?Tte question of construction with which theAdministration started, and which it blindlywracked over for two mortal yea's, is at lengthdeliberately set aside aa irrelevant upon its owneeggestioc, and the controversy is to be settledon its Intrinsic merits, as if the Clsyton-Bulw-

trea'y tad never existed. This is where henegotiation should have begun, and this is w' cGreat Britain proposed to begin it. Aft-- r VKr-- f

persevering negotiation vwr tkt treaty, u.-- .

Administration has ataitified itself by acknowl-edging that tkt treaty ka nothing to do trtti tktaubject in dispute and cheerfully contenting toIndependent negotiation, which it at first con-temptuously rejected. We pity the Americancitizen, much more the American statesman,who can see a triumph in this. Such a triumphIs cot only a disgrace to our diplomacy but afoul ttaio upon the national honor.

To talk of the British Government's "glidingout of toe difficulties In which they involvedthemselves by their misconstruction of theClayton-Ba- l wer treaty" is to exhibit a pro-found misconception of the character and his-tory of the controversy. Exactly the converse

--of this asser ian is true. The AdministrationLas glided out of the diffi eulties la which it in-

volved itself by its misconstruction of the Qey-ton Bui war treaty, while the British Govern-ment occupies precisely the same attitude itoccupied at tha out-e- t of the question. Thisfact is incontrovertible. We challenge its controversion. Whatever concessions favorable toour interests G: eat BrlUia, oder the alteredaspect of the question, under the aspect whichshe herself has constantly desired to place uponit, msy now thin proper to make, will most certauily be oozing more, and probably much less,man she stood ready to make at the beginningHowever favorably to us the negotiation as tothe ultmat subjects, in dispute may finallyterminate, the great and indisputable fact thathe Administration threw away three preciousyears in vain and irritating discussion upon apoint which it subsequently withdrew fromthe controversy, and began the negotiationanew at the very point at which the Britishgovernment first proposed to begin it, wills.ana oat in clear and humiliatir.r reliefWhatever the Administration msy effect here-after, it has done nothing yet but perpetrate asnamerui blunder, and soeak out of it.

The truth ia, the Central American questionhas been mora wretchedly bungled than anyqu.'ion in our foreign relatione si-- the or-ganization of the government; and there la nota man in the country who doesnot perceive it. The question in itself offeredno d.fficulUea, but, on the contrary, promise,wilt- nk.iif ul management, an easy and highlyaJvan ageons solution.

treaty with the real qu,U. , but stillmora absurdly put that trea'y forward as thebasis, the r" Bi, of the whole contro-versy. It thus became necessary fcr the Brit-ish government to tern the Adminigtr.Uon'sflatk before they coald achieve their meditatedurrender. This they Lave successfully c.

complieted, and cow (the substance f u,whole matter U) they are about to throw it,to

ur taps the concessions which tte Administra-tto- awiUf diy and stcpidly prevented them from

Ma. EcchakaVs VaaaciTT O Wa.kt orIt. Mr. Buchanan said to bit. Mangum cfNorth Carolina, at a dinner table, that he didnot believe the rbaree of bargain and corruption ag.inst Mr. Clay and never bad believedit. This remark was made in the preset ce olMsj. William B. Lewis, formerly Second Aoditor of the Treasury, who repeated it in a letterto Gen. Jackson recently published. And Mr.Macgum has au'homed a stat'znent in the NorthCarolina papers that the remark was made tohimself by Mr. Buchanan upon the occasionreferred to.

So Mr. Buchanan, as be acknowledged to agentleman of high character in the presence ofother gentlemen of high character, never be-

lieved the charge of bargain and corruptionagainst Mr. Clay and Mr. Adams. Yet MrBuchanan was earned to the world by GenJackson as the one, who, by his testimony, bedconvinced him that the charge was true, and although Mr. Buchanan, when thus summonedbefore the public, failed to say what Jacksoixpected him to sifie, neither upon that roi

Lpon aty other public occasion while Adams o

Jackson or Clay was aflve, declared or inti-

mated bis dUbelicf of the charge. Of all themen in the world he was Abe inosf solemnlybound to see justice t!oi,?in the matter, for heknew that it was from his own declarations,either correctly or incorrectly utile's oTd, thatJackson was induced to promulgate the chargewhich bsj so mighty arfd an in-

fluence upon the politics acd the politicians ofthe United States; yet ffcver, never, never, inany speecn in iongrcss or any icuer mathas been allowed to see the light, did behave the manliness or the honr-'- y to say thathe considered the charge of bargain withoutfoundation.

So far from saying this, he said, or took es-

pecial pains to imply, the direct contrary. Althouch we cow, from his private declarations,know that he never believed the charge of bargain, we also know that he came voluntarilybefore the public acd gave tha world tounderstand, that, while he did cot in so manywords make the charge, he believed it to betrue. Let mankind say what they think of thefollowing passage of his letter of Oct. 16, 1826,to the Washington Telegraph on the subject ofbargain and corruptien:

Tha raota an fm tb tnat Sr. Clay 4 hia prsTaiar irieaat maac mr. bbi ana Ir.llw U.raaH rraa. Sr.(lt) trr-la- lHum 1 A l Wlilara th.tr ova lafartaeM f rom lurkraat. aaa tec einamt'aarra aoaaecica uk iw 2A-

He has declared privately, that be never believed the charge, and the world now has evi-

dence that he positively krw it to be false; andyet, in this passrge of the letter, he signifiedbis belief of its truth as plainly as he could doso by laoguage. He expressed his belief of ittruth when, as be has since confessed, be didcot believe it true, and when, as is proved, beirmew it to be untrue. Therein he acted thepart of a deliberate falsifier and calumniator.He forfeited all claim to the countrj's confidence and regard. And this utterer or insinuatorof a deliberate slander against Mr. Clay wuldundoubtedly have made that slander incomparably stronger if he bad cot been tremblingand shaking with the fear that Mr. Clay, inwhose power be knew himself to be, would in-

dignantly coiiie for'b and expose hisbypocris;,his falsehood, and his corruption. Yes, we allknow, that, at the ve y time, 1826 wh-- n he wispublicly expretsirg, through tte WashingtonTelegraph, his belief of a charge which Leknew to be false, and which he has confessedhe alwjj belie red to be f.le, he was nukir.;;the most earnest appeals to Mr. Clay not to ex-

pose him for his conduct in 1825, but to bearon, submissively, all the horrible calumnies ofhis vindictive enemiff!

Lock, fellow countrymen, at the spectacle,for it is certainly one of the most remarkablethat the history cf the world presents. Mr.Buchanan in 1825 made advances to both MrClay and Gen. Jackson to induce them to enterinto a corrupt bargain with each other. ThePresidential election took place, and GeneralJackson, upon the alleged authority of Mr.Buch nan, proclaimed a charge of bargain andcorruption against Mr. Clay and Mr. Adams.Mr. Clay, hard pressed by his ecen.is, notifiedMr. Buchanan of Lis intention to reveal to tteworld, for bis own vindication, what had passedbet ween them in January, 1825. Mr. Buchananearnestly appealed to him in his mercy to con-

tinue to suffer wrocg rather than expose kim;acd his entreaties prevailed. Bit the sparedmonument of Mr. Cia's pity, trtmblirg beforethe face of the great Kentuckian, yet tremblingif possible still more before the stern face i fGen. Jacicson, sent forth a letter to the worldavowirga belief in the charge of corruptionagainst Mr. Clay, a belief which he has sinceconfessed that he never entertained and which weall know that be did cot entertain. The languagecf Lis conduct if not of his lips to Mr. City was,I give countenance to the calumny sgainstyou, else Geo. Jackson and bis party will crushme; but, oh, pity my miserable condition anddo not ruin me by defending yourself by themeats at your command.

Jackson, Clay, and Adams have passed away,and cow this man Buchanan, who made a dupeof one of them and victims of the others, is theDemocratic candidate for the Presidency. Isnot an awful rebuke of his wretched pretensions required as a great moral lesson to thepresent generation and to posteritj?

Tyler's lecture upon thedead of Lis Cabinet is in some respects a noticeable production. It abounds in rhetoricalcuriosities, here is one of them. The ex--President aays of Upshur:

Ths American State Council GreatEnthusiasm raiSAGKS or Victorv. TheAmerican State Council of Kentucky assembledat Lexington on Wednesday, tte 20ih inst. The'epresentation in tl e Council was fuller than at

ny previous session. About four hundred delegates were present. The enthusiasm that pre-

vailed exceeded all description. It seemed af, indignant at the misrepresentations and fou

slan ers of our opponents, the delegates tadcome together with the determination to show

to their brethren throughout the Union that the

American party in Kentucky at this momentpresents a bolder front and numbers in its ranksa larger majority of the legal voters of theState than ever before.

Every one who was present at this session ofthe Council has returned boms satisfied lhat theAmerican party in Kentucky is stronger andfilled with more enthusiasm and cor fide ace thanever before, and well coninced that nothingbut organization is needed to overcome the im-

portation of money and illegal voters evident!)or.ten plated by the Buchanan party, and to

rarry the Slate for Fillmore and D.melson bya larger msjsrity than has ever been given byKentucky for a Presidential candidate since1840. The old spirit of 1S40 seemed to havebeen aroused and to burn even more ferventlyand brightly than it did ihen.

Maj. E. B. Bir'lctt, who has presided withconsummate ability and marked courtesy acddignity over all the deliberations of tte StateCouncil since its first organization, declined a

as President on account of his duties is President of the National Council. Hisaddress to the Council was f ill of patriotismand loyalty to American principles. It wasjreeted with the most enthusiastic applause

Hon. Thos. H. Clay, of Fayette, the eldestand favorite son cf the ''Sage of Ashland,"was unanimously elected President. He wasconducted to the chair amid the most deafeningmanifestations of gratification on the part of;he delegates present.

Mr. A. T. Burnley, of Franklin,! gentlemanof great political experience and an intimatefriend cf Millard Fillmore, was unanimouslyelected Vice President, and Mr. T. P. A. Bibb,a son of Chancellor Bibb, was chosen Secreta-ry. Various business committees were ap-

pointed.

Attorney General ok thi Ap-

plication or the Governor or California.We have carefully read the opinion cf MrOusting, upon which the President has reliedin refusing the application of Gov. Johneor:and, with all proper respect for Mr. Cushirganu the President, we thir.k the opinion a mostunsound one. The Attorney-Gener- says, sub-

stantially, that, although the fact of insurrection in California unquestionably exists, andalthough the President has sufficient knowledge of the fact, yet, since the Governor hasnot requested the President's interpos-tio- indue form, it would be improper if not unlaw-

ful for the President to interpose, unless undercircumstances of "superlative exigency," suchas he does not perceive in the present case.rhis is the substance of Mr. Cushing's opinionthrown into a positive shape, though his ownexpression of it is anything but positive or evendefinite. Oa the contrary, his argument is hy-

pothetical, loose, acd As a legalopinion, it is the most unmitigated shilly-sh-

ly. Tte above, however, appears to be tteconclusion it holds in solution. The opinionamounts to this, if it amounts to anj thing.And, conceding all the legal points involved,we submit that, tried by the simple test cfcommon sense, it is a very shabby opinion.

Mr. Custing admits, by necessary lmt lica- -

tion, that it would be perfectly lawful acdproper for the President to comply with therequest of Gov. Johnson if the request weremade in technical form, and the emergencywere only a little more pressing. In otherwords, be is not willing to say that the informality alone would vitiate the application if the"exigency" were "superlative," and he is notwilling to say that the "exigenry" is not "su-perlative" enough if the application were in dueform! When it is considered that the allegedInformality ot the Governor's applicationIs simply the want of an express allegation thatthe Legislature could not be convened thestatute providing that in such cases the appli-catio- n

shall be made by the Legislature or bywe governor "when the Legislature cannot beconvened" when it is considered, moreover,that the emergency is confessed to be sufficiently pressing to have "constraine'd the in'erposi- -'ion of the Governor of the S ate, who, on the

!h cf June, issued his cffhial proclamationsetting forth the existence cf the unlawful combination, calling on its m'mbers to disband, andsummoning to arms the militia for the purposeof restoring public order and enforcing obedience to law in tte city and county of San FranCisco," to all of wbich "the nniewful eetnbinatior." shouted defiance, and went 03 iu itscareer of open rebellion; when these facts, wesay, are considered, the Attorney-General'- s

scruples seem little less ridiculous than thoseof the fellow who declined on ths ground ofetiquette to rescue a drowning woman becausehe had not received an introduction to her.

It is impot sible to escape the conviction thatthe President anxiously desired an excuse foravoiding the responsibility cf all action in thepremises, and that this opinion was trumped upto gratify Lit anxious desire. If it is really MrCuehing's best judgment in the case, he may beas he undoubtedly is, a very learned man, aleast outside of his profession, but he is net asagacious man nor a great lawyer. Ar.d Le isleast of all a judicious counselor cf Stite.

Fremont ox Buchanan. After the conclusion of the American ra;etin at the courthouse, in Lexington, on Wednesday night, theBuchanan men who were pressnt called to thestand Capt Thos. F. Marshall, at present ofChicago. He made an Freesoilspeech, and advised Kentucky to vote for Bu-

chanan, although he denounced Buchanan in novery delicate terms Cspt. Marshall has beenmaking Fretoil speeches in Illinois, and Is forBuchanan in Kentucky. The Sag Nichts aresurely sorely pressed when they are compelledto rely on Freesoil orators to make speeches infavor of the squatter sovereignty candidate.

atThe Pencsylvanian tries to recommendMr. Buchanan to working men by asserting,upon the authority of "a valued friend," thathe once took "a warm and decided interest" inthe ten hour system. If Buchanan ever favored the ten hour system it was probably frommotives or mere arithmetical convenience itharmonizes so beautifully with his ten cent sys-tem. The two combined would certainly forma wonderful "Ready Reckoner" for the workleg man. With their aid he could calculate hisearnings "as easy as nothing

And must it not disgust any one who has readMr. Buchanan's letter of 1826 to the Wa.-hin-

ton Telegraph, clearly imp!ieg, and clearlyinienaea to imply, a full belief in the charge?

A Fair Offer. A Democratic paper having stated that James Buchanan is by trade aprinter, an excharge replies that be can havework in that office at ten centt a day. TteDemocratic candidate would scarcely relish hisown prescription for iroritfag men.

SATURDAY, AUGUST 23, 1856.

Look to tiix Umov. If there ever was a'iine when the American people were under alien obligation to prepare themselves to votefor their coun'ry, such a time is the presentIt is impossible, to exaggerate the dangers whichthreaten the peace ar.d permanency of theUnion. Ore act of dissolution has already

cen perfoliate" an act which may indeed beremedied by the of Congress at

heavy cost to the national treasury; but ttefact will remain, that a deed is perpetrated,which, if followed up in the same spirit oflegislation, must lay this confederacy in ruins.Ic is revolution, bold, undisguised revolution;the revolution cf faction, w hich demands tterecognition of its dogmas and the legalization cf its disorganizing creed, at Ihe peril cfdissolution. Treason may assume a bloodierand more startling guise, but certairly nonernoie enVctual than that adopted by the presentCongress. We trust ths American people willnot sleep on in security till they are waked blie drum. Ihe time was when revolutionDe shape of legislative coercion would have

routed the public heart as surely as the brandof the incendiary.

That there is danger brewing around us noone seems to question. Everj body acts andi&iki as mougn a monster-mischie- f were nigh,acd yet nearly every one takes it for grantedhat the calamity by some means or other will

be averUd. This is not the way in which acrisis should be met. The means and the dutvof preservation belorg alike to every citizen;and every one should weigh well his respon;i-bilii- y

to his country and meet it like a man,like an American. Heretofore Congress hasinterposed to beat back the tide ef revolution;Dut, in tte present case, Congress has suecumbed bffore it cr rather a faction ia Con-gress has abstted the revolutionary temper of.De times by an act of eq iul force with rebellion, ihe voice that timo aud again soundedthe alarm of liberty in that body is hushed indeatb; the giant that caught the blows of disunion on his burnished helmet is mouldering intDe grave. Neither Clay nor Webster is there.They are both gone, and with them, we fesr,the prestige of exalted genius and grandeur, ofpersonal devotion to liberty, which enabled theAatioual Legislature to meet and quell the dangcis which assailed us. Ths people will haveto juoge and act for themselves. Will theycot do so?

What then is the remedy? The danger is ad-

mitted; the urgency of the crisis is apparent toevery one; but what is to be done? Surelywe need not say to our Southern readers thatthe nomination of a sectional candidate for thePresidency is merely an aggravation of the evil;and will cot the North, the men there whohave something to live for, who love libertv.and whose revolutionary fathers bequeathedthem au inheritance to be transmitted unim- -

paired to their posterity will not such bead-vise- din season and come out from among the

enemies cf the Constitution? If they will but amoment reflect upon what they would sav anddo, if the South ver Strong enough to elect asectional candidate and force hita into the Presidency, a candidate devoted to ihe destructionof their property and independence, those ofthftn who are not conspiring for the dissolution of the Ui.ioa would surely hesitate to cofarther; and to pause would be to return. Ifhey succeed, they must do so at the loss of

what little feeling of brotherhood now lingersamong us; and how paltry the triumph in com-parison with its cost.

If, however, there is nothing but dir.rer anddiscord and dissolution to be apprehended fromthe success of Fremont, it must be confessed,that, in so far as the peace and fellowship ofthe States ara concerned, there is liitle to behoped from the electiou of Buchanan. Let usspeak calmly, and let our readers ponder seri-ously the grounds upon which we make thisassertion. We are dealing with the subjectfrankly, and we conjure our fellow-citize- toexamine it with us in the same spirit.

Let us for a moment consider the motivewhich induced this fligrant breach of faithThe compromise laws wero passed in 1850; thecjnvention met In 1S52; and, during the briefreposj between those periods, the demagoguesana party gladiators who had been swollen inconsequence by the distmbaaces of the timeswere fast shrinking ii.to their true dimensionsand so dwindling from ths public gaze.

He is one of the people,a living example of the power of free institutions In forming great minds for great exigencies. Tte American party have chosen him fohis noble services in the cause of Unior; theypresent him to their countrymen on the recordof his patriotic Administration. At a periodscarcely less momentous than this, he wascalled to the Executive chairjand ha conductedthe government tnumphantiy through that fierycrisis. In a similar straight we have the sameman for a pilot We present him, cot as aNorthern man with Southern feelings, nor yetas a Southern man with Northern feelings, butas an American citizen with a heart for thwhole Union and capacity for all its requirements. Such is Millard Fillmore; and well maythe American people be proud of him as a citizen, as a statesman, and as President. He babeen tried in the furnace aud proved puregoldHis election would at once compose the disorderof the land. He would hold the balances with aneven beam; he would administer the law with afirm hand. Justice would sway the councils ofthe State, and the country would sgain find repose under the protectirg wing of the Cons'.itution.

("The editor of the Louisville Courier, oneof the organs, finding himself conntenancea by his brethren in his late sacrilegiousaud ferocious attack upon the memory of thegreat man who sleeps beneath the shades of iheHermitage, makes another in a similar spiritThis supporter of James Buchanan as a candidate for the Presidency puts forth by far themost vituperative acd venomous articles uponGeneral Jackson that have appeared since tteday of the venerable chieftain's obsequies, at.dall bscause he feels that the utter annihilationof the country's respect for the character ofJackson is indispensable to the election of Buchanan.

Not satisfied with having pronounced the de-

parted hero a meanly malignant viliifier and aninsanely vindictive aud selfish old tj rant, hecharges that in his deathbed Utter he was deliberately "guilty of a double falsehood, a falsehood against Clay and Adams and a falsehoodagainst Buchanan," and uity , foo,T)f "a coarsedisplay of crszy rancor," and that the wholeworld so regards the matter,

We have no doubt that this second assaultupon the dead hero for James Buchanan's sakeby one of the t organs will be askindly tolerated by the rest of the organs asthe first was. We presume that cotNicht voice will be lifted up in condemnationof it. The whole press will quietlysubmit to see him, who has hitherto been thegreatest and mightiest and most eulogized of thechampions of Democracy, denounced and vitu-

perated and cursed in his grave, because he isfound to have uttered, in full view of the nearapproach of death, his true and d

opinions of the character acd his absoluteknowledge of the conduct of James Buchanan,No longer in Democratic minds is the Hermitage to be considered consecrated ground; noonger is the Eighth of January to be a noted

day in the Democratic calendar; the wholeDemocratic party, or at least the mass of it,are willing and more than willing to behold ttetomb of the old god of their idolatry defiled by

obscene birds, if the foul things will but chatter acd caw and scream for James Buchanan.

Gen- - Jackson could have no revenge to grafify, no selfish purposes to accomplish, by whathe said of Mr. Buchanan in his letter to hisold and intimate friend Maj. Lewis. He knewthat his own political career was at an end. IIno longer cherished any earthly ambition. Hisaw the grave opening to receive him, and hiscalm, high thoughts were chiefly turned to theworld into which he was about to eater. Uodf rsuch circumstances, he was called on to express bis views of James Buchanan, whom ha,of all men living, was best qualified to judg.He stated what he personally knew. What hetated was deeply disgracef al to Mr. Buchanan,

proving him utterly unworthy of the trust andregard of his countrymen; and for this the thousand organs of the Democracy consent to lookon not enly contentedly but with a siler.tchuckle of delight whilst one of the horridhyenas of their party is tearing open the grave oftheir old chieftain and crunching the bone3 overwhich the tears of mourning myriads have fal!sn as profusely as the dews of heaven.

This deadly onsst of one t organupon the memory of Andrew Jackson aid thesilent acquiescence of the rest constitute themost deplorable and awful commentary uponparty principle acd party gratitude that we remember ever to have seen. They are enoughto shock the moral sense of the world,

Thx Wat He Savfd His Taxes. Anamusing insUnca of Buchanan's stinginess ishis letter, while a member of President Polk'sCabinet, to the county assessor at Lancaster,denying that he was a citizen of Pennsylvania,for the shabby sake of avoiding the payment ofhis taxes to the State. Ths Pennsylvaniapapers have published the letter by way ofridiculing the idea that such a contracted oldniggard 'could ever be the "Favorite son ofPennsylvania." The letter accomplishes theobject of its publication admirably. We subjoin it. It is rich, particularly the last clause,which throbs with niggardliness ill over:

By the way, what a ridiculous waste ofenergy it is for the quidnuncs to cudgel theirown and other people's brains for romantic explanations of Buchanan's bachelorship. Thetrue explanation lies upon the very sur-

face of bis life. He is too stingy to marry.His "circumstances won't admit of it" HecanH tpare the monty. At some future period,with the aid of the President's salary, he mayafford the luxury of a wife, "but that it vhollyuncertain." Don't laug'a at him, o

Vet who can possibly have forgotten thatGen. S:ott, when he was a candidate for ttePresidency in 135J against the miserable thingnow at the head of the government, was de-

nounced by all ths Democratic organs and thewhole Democratic party of the South as a raikabolitionist and the candidate of a rack aboli-

tion party? Who Is there that can have for-

gotten the unanimous ciy of the vt hoi- - Democratic press cf the Soutithat Mr. Fillmore hadbeen passed by in the Vhig National Conven-

tion and Gen. Scott ruminated because Mrr'illmore was a national can acd Gen. Scott anabolitionist?

Ccaious. Pennsylvaiia has a law that coperson within her llmitsshall be elected Judgeor continue to serve as Judge after attaining tobe age of 65 years We are told, but do not

know the fact, that seviral other States haveaws of a similar character.

Mr. Buchanan is undoubtedly upwards cfevsnfy years of age. At any rate, accordingo bis own admission, he will be more than b5i the inauguration of a President of the UnitedS ates in 1857. Now we wonder if ar.vbodvxpecta Pennsylvania to vote for one cf her

men for the Presidency beyond the age whichhe in her wisdom has pronounced an absolute

disqualification for a Judgeship.

The State Coun-cil at a late session unmimfiuihj tn iorstd thtnomination of Fillmore and Donelson, and theAmericans, constituting a majority of the lastLegislature, have also done the same thinglu Councils are actively at work with in- -reased nuuber, and it will bs a pity if the

lyThe Democrat, in an attempt to apologise, or smooth over, the corrupt and infamousconduct of Mr. Buchanan in 1825, says that hevas the friend of both Gen. Jackson and Mr.Clay. This i not true. We can adduce a later of M, City, fUtan subcaqnentlv to hat'"' wbieh tbs Writer stated that Mr. Ku.

Whatever may be our differences on minnrsubjects, 1 am sure there is one on wbich weagree and that one at the moment is Daramounlto all others.

MONDAY, AUGUST 25, I85.

(3srft is an undeniable fact, that, if Mr.Buchanan were net a candidate, Mr. Fillmorewou'd bo elected without a. shadow cf adoubt, acd that, if Mr. Fillmore were not acandidate, Col. Fremont would certainly beelected. The only effect of bringing Buchananinto the fi'ld will be to divide the strength ofIhe South. Every.Southern man who rotes forBuchanan is indirectly increasing the chancesof Fremont's election. The Freesoil par'y atthe North are exerting all their infernal irge-nuit- y

and reckless falsehood to produce astrictly sectional contest They know full wellthat in such a contest and in none other therewill be a hope of electing their candidate, andthat unless they caa bring on a strictly sec-

tional contest they will be surely defeated.They do not fear Buchanan. They know thathe has no strength whatever in Ibe North, andtbey are now using every means to induce theSouth to vote for Buchanan. If they can makethe Northern people believe that the South isunited upon Buchanan, the will soon be ableto concentrate the North upon their Freesoilcandidate, and thus ths 176 Northern electoralvotes will certainly prevail over the 120 elec-toral votes of the Southern States.

The Buchanan men in the South falsely represent that 5Ir. Fillmore has no strength in the?ortb, and the Fremont organs in the Northare trying to produce the impression there thatFillmore has co strength at the South. Bo'hare stating what they know to be false. Mr.Fillmore has already sufficient strength in theNorth to defeat the election of Fremont, uo'easthe South should show a disposition to go forBuchanan, which would immediately be metby a movement in the North in favor ot Fremont.

At present in the South we confidently believe that Mr. Fillmore is by far the most popular candidate. We took occasion, a few dayiago, to allude to ths certainty that Virginiawould give him ber electoral vote, and tvsryday confirms the conviction we then enteraiced. It is well known, at least to members

of the American Order, that the SouthernAmerican party coosists in a great measure ofthose who were formerly Democrats. We areinformed that in Kentucky alone there are25,000 members of the American Order whoformerly belonged to the Democratic party. InVirginia the e Whigs last year votedfor Wise to the number of at least 20,000. InMaryland the American candidates for Congrass were elected in the districts which wereformerly Democratic and were defeated in theold Whig districts. In Tennessee a vast num-

ber of Whigs last year refused to support Gen-

try, the American candidate for Governor. Inall those States, the whole body cf e

Whigs, with very few and isolated exceptions,have now declared themselves in favor of Fill-

more and Dcnelson The severest scrutiny ofthe ch nets ia Maryland, Virginia, Kentucky,Tennessee, and Louisiana presents nothing thatcan authorize a single shadow cf doubt tbattheir electoral votes will be givea by large majorities for the American candidates.

personal misunderstanding with Mr. Fillmore,sets down the "blue ben's chickens" as certainfor him. Ia Florida, Georgia, and Alabama,:here is strong reason to believe that Mr. Fill-

more will be the foremost candidate, and evenin North Carolina we have the assurances ofprudent acd reliable calculators that the Old-L-

Whigs and Americans united will carrythe State for Fillmore acd Donelson. There isnothing in the recent State elections to au-

thorize the supposi'ion that Mr. Fillmore willnot carry triumphantly all the d

States. The claims set up by tha Buchananmen in the Sauth are merely the result of desperation. They are strikirg "wild," as boxerswho are exhausted acd do not know whereto plant their blows. They claim almost allcreation and they cannot point to a single Statethat is certain for their candidate. Tbey knowthat he is unable to get a single Northern elec-

toral vote, acd they are endeavoring to cheatthe South into his support with the hope cfthrowing the election into the House of Representatives acd having another chance there.

We say nowin all serious earnestness that itis all important not only to the success of Mr.Fillmore but to the defeat of Fremont that thepeople of the South should manifest a disposi-

tion firmly acd steadily to support Fillmoreacd Doaelsoa. If we do this, his election issecured, for our friends at the North will thusbe encouraged to carry on ths eon'est againstFremont and sectionalism. If we fail ia this,if the South evinces aty wavenrg at all, the?cpporters of Fillmore ia the North may bediscouraged and the result wi'.l be disastrous.The whole issue Is narrowed down to tha simple propo3iiioa that either Fillmore or Fremontwill be the next President, and it is io the pow-- r

of the South to determine which shall rulethe nation. If she go3 for Fillmore, hi willcertainly be elected. If she goes for Buchanan, Fremont will in all probability be our nextChief Executive. Whom then will ye serve?

ror ths Lsaiarille JiaraaLDISUNION NO. 1.

It appear to be the concurring- - oninion of ailreflecting men ti;at the Union is ia great dan-ger; that ths sectional contest now waging be-

tween two of the contending parties puts it inimminent peril. Such is the warning sent fromCongress to the nation by soma of our mosteminent and venerable statesmen. Democraticleaders, through the piess and from the stump.are every where soucdiog the alarm. Conser-vative men not of their party also feel the dan-ger, and give credence to it the more readily,because it was what they foresaw acd foretoldas a necessary consequence of tbat act of folly,the repeal of the Missouri Compromise. Thirty--

six years ago the same question split the na-

tion icto two violent sectional parties. Themutual animosity occasioned by it, caused tointelligent patriots of lhat day the most intenseanxiety. Its fortunate adjustment seemed tolift a load from their minds; they breathedmere freely j they clasped each other's handswua mutual gratuutions. Ic seemed to themthat the country had received a new lease ofme.

Hnman nature must be much altered fromwhat it is and always has been, if such a question, whenever raised, does not put the lnionin danger. Sectional divisions are just as natu-ral, our proreness to them just as atrecg, as tolocal paitialities and prejudices. Ihose feelir,g. it indulged ar.d excited into action, becomeviolent, unreasoning r.as?icn, and render us theeasy dupes of the designing and the wickedIf to a question involving such prejudice andpartiality to the highest degree, there be superadded a question of political power, a sectionalcontest for power, we have the materials fromwcicn io generate the bitterest and most ncap- -neasatle sectional str f s. The wia foundersof our government understood Ibis perfectly,knew the etfect of any great sectional strife,ana spared no pains to warn us s gainst this, thedeadliest peril in our national career.

Ihe peril of 1S20, RTea'.ly as it alarmed thewue and good men of that day, could have beenout ntcie ween compared wita that no im-pending over uj. The national heart, with smallexception, was then everywhere sound in itsioyaiy to tee tnion. Avowed cisuoionistswere to be found oowhere. The then recent

ire'gti war ha I consolidated the national patriotism. There had been no sectional iegU'ation,or none wnica was tnen represented as favor- -irg ore section to the piejudice of ar other.Tne public mind South had been alartneil withno fear of ary design at Iba North prejudicialto slave property, iba public mind Noarth bad

ot been lectured or preached Into any undueprejudice against such property. AbolitionistsJid not then exist. More than ten years lateihe people of New England refused riv

tn-- even a tearing, iney were rerilsed thprivilege of lectur ng in favor of abolition.

Toou-- b tha North was arrayed in almossolnl pDalaox against the admission of Missouriyet her sta esmen did not justify their opposition upon any fanatical pretext of opposition tonezro slavery in the abstract as immoral or Irreligious. 1 hey justified it on the broad states-manlike ground assumed by the revolutionaryfathers when making the restriction in tha or-dinance of 8 7 ; that is, for the sake cf the whit.themselves.

It means bruid tracks of rtiiaand desolation wh en those armies will ever;where leave behind them. This w what itmeans for us who live ia this valley. What itmeans io other localities, the people of the oth-er middle States can figure for themselves.

Such being its meaning for as in thij valley,it behooves us in an especial manner, morethan the people of any other section, to care-fully look into the supposed necessity for a re-sort to any such alternative.

This great valley of the Ohio has beea pro-nounced by an enlightened foreign traveler tobe the most magnificent seat cf empire tha'God has any where provided for man upon theface of ihe earth. Ii is the i'e of five Urgeprosperous States ar.d ot a lare part of asixtn. It Is already the peaceful, fcappy, andprosperous abode of seven milliirs of people,and in a quarter of a century w:ll be the abodeof more than n.'teen millions. It soon will bethe heart and centra of the population, andmust in all time continue to be the centre of thepopulation and power of this treat cationSimilarity of industrial pursuits, identity ofcommercial interests, and eeographical positioncompel its inhabitants all to IHe iinder cneGovernment, and must so com, el them for alltim to come if they desire their own happi-ness and prosperity. It is in this valley trialthe slaveaoldmg aai noa slaveholding S jtstouch each other upon their lorg-,- t ',mt ofseparation; an indefeciibls line cf n;?r athousand miles. I; is therefore that disunionupon th slave line should never be to them amatter of choice in any state of thir gs what-ever. We could much better alford "to eiveaway the Carolina, Georgia, and all New England to some foreiga power than take the firststep towards such an act of n.Are we, at the contemptible bidding or solicitation of malcontent disunicnits in the Northand South, to sever all the ties of ictenst andaffection which bind us together, and convertmis now cappy valley into a great battle fild:Hive we so little intelligence and t:ue patriotism as to suJer our passions aid prejudices tooe so piayeo upon to our own seii destruction?

Kentucky's great orator mi.' located the "keystone of the federal arch," when he assignedthat function to old Pennsylvania." Itrue position is farther west. It would savortoo much of mere compliment to assign such agreat luncuon io any ods state. Ths compliment is targe enoua to oe divided among a Cluster of states. It properly belongs ta our gratvalley of the Ohia. If the State of that v.Veyare severally true to themselves, thev will betrue to each othr-r-. Tney should la'ks everyoccasion to mak knowa their determinate toremain one and inseparable, it the bailee ofthe Union break in;o what fragments it mayThe knowledge of that tact would go fir tcsilence all disunion schemes acd agitationsFor, if it be conceded that the States ia thi) valley are unalterably determined never to separate, disuuion will cease to be a peril in ournational career. It wouid no lonr ba i:i thepower of man to break up tha Union, or if aall, certainly cot upon any dividing line west oftha Hudson, or east of the Rcky Mountains.The desire for our commerce will always grap-ple to us New Yoik acd Fenrs!vania as thenorthern buttress, and tha lower va ley cf theMississippi as tee southern buttress of the Federal arch, by thus bindinz them to as thev ilbe bound to each other, and all Ivins betweenthem wiil ba compressed into unify, and theUnion thus become indfttiucttbl. A meresliver knocked erf frora the northeast or south-east, or even detaching the great bulk lyingwest of the Rocky mountains, would net materially injure ei'Cer the prosperity, the strengthor tba durability of tha remainder Can it b.that in any hour of mad passioa we ourselveswill pail ajuader the glorious arch, acd bring itdown in destructioa upon ourselves?

There is co matter of practical interest orimportance involved in the question whetherKansas shall bo a free or slave State that shouldweigh a feather ia the estimation of any of thestates in the UD'O valley, when poised against'ba vastly grea'er Interest which each of themhas in tha preservation ot the Uaion. As totha free States, they want no accession of po-litical strength. With five Territories that arebound to come in as free States, thr is cot eventba possibility of danger that tha North canever lose its preponderance ia tba number ofStates or of population. According to everycalculation, both must increase rapidly andlargely in tier favor. So true is thia tbat snecould well afford to give it to tha Sou'a a9 amake-peac- at aoy rate, sha can well afford tawait patiently and to tea whether a. a sas wilnot come io as a free State, even ai ber affairnow are, rather than make her the cause of arIrreconcilable feud with the South. Tie Northmust recollect 'bat, whatever supposed wrongsne may nave sustained by tha repeal of thecompromise, her own representatives weremaioly icstraTectal la p odneirg tne wrocg.and it is tha result cf their free offering, lithere was any corrupt bargaining with theserepresentative, the whole South is not respon-sible for that, as is aurfifriently obvious from thtfact that the promised price of tha supposedbargaia has not beea paid. Northern representatives have been mainly instrumertal inbringing tha nation into Its present difficulty,and tha North should hav patience acd for-bearance towards honest elorts to ret as out olit. Resisting the repeal of tha compromise,and even punishing Northern representative. f oti?s repeal, is a very different thing from foreir iits restoration, and especially fon irg it ii vio-lation of tha spirit of the Constitution. If con-ciliation or even eomronr.tsa be necessary foithe final adjustment of ths ths freeS'ates of our valley should meit Kentucky tadTennessee in tha proper temper and aid thee,in effecting a pscification. Tbeir eifjrts, I kours, should all be directed towards concilia-tion and against widening tha breach. Thearnest of all should b beet towardsa speedy adjustment, for co maa can foreseetba result of a prolongation af the eorrl ct during aco!ber Presidential term.

In considering what amour. t of interest Kentucky acd Tennessee, indeed all tte slsve Sta es.nave in mis controversy whether Kansas sbai.ba a free or slave State, candor requires thadmission that, under aoy fair admiai.

Frankfort, Ky , Aug. 19, lsco.To tkt Grand Council of Kentucky:

Tha Executive Commi tee beg leave to maketha following report;

In April last, ihe committee issued a circu-lar addressed to a!l the s ia tba State,diree'iing cunventions to ba hell for tha nom-ination f Judges acd Commonwealth's Attor-neys.

Tha constitution of tha Grand Council re-quired this to ba done, and it was also tba opin-ion of the committee 'hat tha party should nave

common object ia the August elections to pre-vent d:3organ.zation.

Ibis circular was violently attacked by twoAmerican papers in tha State, and the commit-tee charged with usurpation, dangerous powerand assumpt on. Ia consequence of tbesa at-tacks uoon tha conjt'.tee, tho pary through-out tha State was U sjch an ox-ter,! a3 to result in the election of ix circuitjudges by oir opponent-)- and tha ex:iog'iisa-icent- ot

the great iuht of tha Judiciary of thaS.ata. A lew disirtc's only arcada regularnotninal.or,i. Tha party in the balance wentinto ite liald la squad?, and w.rhout leaders,and were overeorie by tte opponents cf thaAmerican par'y. Had the party throughouttha S'ate maiie nomination it would bavamoved ia soii.J column and beea invincille.

With all tae disadvantages resulting from tbaimproper course pursued towards us, tha com-mittee continued to uphold their action and toextort our frienda to duty. Witb tbia viewthey Issued another circular in Juna, eallirgupon the party to open tha canvass and go towoi k. This was responded to cordially every-where, and our speakers all took tba stump, andthe party was saved from an enure defeat. Wabava now six out of thirteen circuit judge,wilh ao Old Line Whig elee'ed in Mason, acdoca of tha two chancellors in tba State. Takirgth August election altogether there i Dothicrin it to discourage us.

Against tha ehairmaiof this committee, nowgenerally tnowa as "Pope !wgert,w a deter-mined, constact, and an wearied effort wa made.He did not want 'ba office, bat made tha race.'or the sake of tha party; aad tha appositionhad boasted that they could beat tba u Pope"himself. The result was bis election by an in-creased m?jriry over that of Morehead in l.ia.

Tha committee bava been entirety withoutfunds since January, acd io maintaining tha re-cent canvass have been sustained by FrankliaCouncil alone.

Tha thanks of tha party ara especially dua toK. W. Hanson, aur Elec'or for tba State atlarge, for the zeal, talents, and eloquence ha baadisplayed in tha discharge cf hia duty. Tbaeffect of bis labors ara written to aur creditupon tba poll books of tba eouotiea throughwhich ba passed. In fact, all oar speaker havbeen diligent and faithful, and deserve the conv-ener da tioa of tba party.

Tha electiea of Pearl, In tha snonotains. is asignal and cheerier proof that the Americanparty is giimcg grouid in that section of thaState.

The committee recommend tbat tha Councilsmaintain their organization, with tha excer'ioathat members hereafter received shall simplytake a pledga to abide tha principle af thaparty, without goicg thr nigh tie degrees. Tba( oulciIs to meet iu public or private, as tbeymay deetn proper. T ba present organization teconvenient, simple, just, and equal, aad ought tba retained, with tne exception above aamed.

As to tba result of tha election in November.tha committee bava not a doubt. At tba general election in 153, Kentucky took ber stand aatha side cf tha American causa Xanrnekvioes not belong to tba changeable Sta 'as. Shewill retnun "constant as tha Northern star, of
