The true Democrat., 1855-10-30

Ol your llQlNluudl pTOIcCtiOL, anu IiiaI or your , common country. The Indians say they are determined to kill as they go, and they cross } the Rio Grande for your settlements almost t weekly. If they are not exterminated, any , hour may ring the death knell of some of your l kindred and friends.
 "There will be TO safety for your frontier settlements hereafter The Seminoles, Mes caleroes and Lipans are all determined to scourge Texas with blood and outrage so long as they remain unchastised We fought all these tribes yesterday, and, as we learn, the celebrated Seminole chieftan Wild Cat
 Men Of the frontier! come, then, and help us. Let none come but those who will and can fight. If you come come quickly, and come well prepared. J. Il. CALLAHAN" The Waterloo defeat of Know Nottingham
 in Pennsylvania and Indiana. The Tri- umph of the Constitution over Freesoii-
 ism.
 We throw the Star Spanglcd Banner to the breeze over the glorious result of the elections held last week in Pennsylvania and Indiana These are indeed solid victories. They are not only victories over the demoniac spirit of rel- l gious persecution, but they are victories of the advocates of the constitutional rights of the south over its enemies who, as the self-sNled | AHucllCdH pdTLA, Hdu DallueU together Tor their overthrow. Our readers have been plac- ed in possession of the abolition resolutions of the Know Ntthing conventions in those States and It IS unnecessary to republish them. The Know Nothings of the south admit that their political brethren of the north are abolition ] ized.
 But where stood the gallant democracy On what platform did they stand? Under what 1 sign have they conquered?
 Here are portion of tue resolutions Of tue Pennsylvania democratic State contention:
 "Col. Black, from the committee on resolu- tions, submitted the following, which were read amid loud applause and unanimously adopted:
 Resol0ea, That the democratic party need not, on old and settled issues declare its princi- pies in detail. t is suficient to say tut aoe be- long to tue democracy of tue Union, and to recog- nize TO geographical lines Jeta0eep tie north and Me south. The interests of aU pa,ts of the coun- try are the same to us, and so far as in our 2wer, We avW mainta5n tue constitutional a1qhts cf every Slate, and recognize in its widest ex- tent the principle of popular sovereignty in tue territories.
 Resolved, That every one who makes our country his home; and loves the constitution, the laws and the liberty of the Union, is in it's
 
 was not his own selection and should do him neither good nor harm-his religion is between himself and his God and should be left to his own judgment, conscience and responsibility
 ResolOed That we regard the secret order commonly called "Know Nothings," as an organization dangerous to the prosperity of the country: we consider its designs as unconstitu- tional and void of patriotism; being at once op- posed to the spirit of true christianity and a just and manly American sentiment
 ResoyUel, That We have undiminished con- fdence in the ability and integrity of Franklin Pierce and his administration of the govern ment of our country.
 Res0tUea, That we are opposed to any change in our State constitution conferring upon ne- groes the right of suffrage. We are not willing that this class of Americans shall rule this part of America, concedlng to other States the right to gratity their own taste in this particular, however much We may differ from them in opnions.'
 These are glorious resolutions; and their en- dorsement by majority of TWENTY THOU SAND FREEMEN in the second largest State Ill the Union, cannot fail to send thrill of joy throughout the south.
 But Indiana, standing as she does on the very borders of slavery, what does she say? Thank God her unterritied democracy have panoplied themselves in the armor of the constitution, and put to route the freesoi hosts who under the name of American pa,ty, sought to attain their unhallOwed ends.
 RESOLUTIONS OF THE INDIANA DEMOCRACY.
 Res0lUed, I hat we claim with pride, the name of national democrats; that we are old-liners and always expect to follow the old-line so plainly marked by the patriots and sages of the revolution ln the declaration of independence, and the constitution of the United States.- Our name is as unchangeable as our principles our prnci pleS mmutablc as the founda- tions of the universe
 ResolUed That we announce our continued hostility to aU secret political societies and organi- zat5Ons as being inimcal to the genius of our in- stitutions, and revolting to the pride and manly spirit free and intelligent people;that we eep- ly deplore the frequent scenes of riot, outrage, murder, arson and dcsolation which have been occasioned by these worse than Jacobin orga- nizatons, and that we appeal to every man who values a good reputation and an honorable name among his fellow men, to lose no time in separating himself from so foul conspiracy, for he that councils and associates with men who commit these revolting crimes, is part- cpant in their guilt, and morally, if not legally responsible for their acts
 ResolUed, That we hereby proclaim ourdec;d- ed hostility to the principles and colat1tct 0f hat sectional a'm fanaticai party, kaoDn as abolition fsts throughout the northern Sutes; that we view their proceedings with increasing apprehensions of great injury to the peace and prosperity of our common country, and as being diametrical- ly opposed to the provisions and requirements of the constitution of the United States, which if violated: as they propose, must bring the dreadful result of disunion, civil war, and the ruins of our best beloved country-the destruc- tion of the last pillar which sustains the tenn pie of liberty on earth
 ResOtued, That we positively re-afrm the principles of the democratic national conven- tions of 1S4S and 1852 as embodying the on- fy practical system of action which can be ta- ken in the great national questions to.which they refer, and as best tending to perpetuate the peace, harmony and integrity of the Union.
 ResolUed, That we cordially invite all men of national sentiment and faith to cooperate with us in maintaing the sanctity of the Ame- rcan constitution, the principles of the dccara- ton of independence, the integrity of tue Union against tue attempts of taaaticnl ABoLIrIoNIsTs AND DEMAGoGUEs, who are aiming to set one section of the confederacy against the other, and whose ambition to possess political power would induce them to sacrifice the dearest in- tcrests of their country and entail dreadful con- sequences of civil war, bloodshed, disunion and anarchy upon the ruins of ournow happy, pros- porous and mighty nation.
 No pretermitting' clause in these resolu- tons. They have the ring of the genuine de- mocratic constitutional southern rights metal. They were passed by the democratic constitu- ton of Indiana and have been endorsed by the democracy of the State. And yet there are in- telgent men in the south who claim to be honest, that profess to believe, and persist in as serting that the psuedo AMERICAN alias Know Nothing party, all abolitonized as they knoao 1t to be, is more worthy to be trusted by the south than the democratic party. But the voters are not to be deceived by the falsehoods of despe- rate political adventures and unprincipled par tzans. The democratic party is the only na- tonal party in the Union, and the hopes of the
