Political Items.

A resolution was offered and rejected, In
the Buchanan Massachusetts State Conven-
ton, to invite Hon. Stephen A. Douglas, Of
Illinois, to address the Democracy of the
Commonwealth. Even the BUCCANEERS oi
the Old Bay State can't stand the man who
lifted his "ruthless hand to strike down the
Missouri Compromise. They are not yet
ready to allow Mr.. Toombs to fog his
slaves in the shadow of Bunker Hill Monu-
ment.
The Charleston Mercury, the secession
Democratic organ of the South, has retired
from the canvass in disgust. Probably
paired off with the Washington National In
telligencer.
1t is stated that Mr.. Breckenridge really
made proposition to Mr.. Buchanan, at the
Wheatlands, yesterday, says the Philadel-
phia Bulletin of the 11th instant, on the
subject of his withdrawal. The plan is to
get Mr.. Donelson also to withdraw and
unite the Democratic and American tickets
in the persons of Fillmore and Breckenridge
Such ticket, Mr.. Breckenridge thinks,
will be likely to succeed against Fremont
and Dayton. What is to be done about the
two platforms does not appear. Nor have
we learned what response Mr.. Buchanan
made to the proposition.
The Carolina Times, having heard the
news from Maine, is more than ever certain
that Fremont and Dayton will be elected,
and exhorts South Carolina to have nothing
to do with the hopeless struggle in behalf of
Buchanan, and even to refuse to vote at all
in the election. Of course the Times is hot
for dsunion, but it is obliged to admit that
its remedy is preposterous. South Carolina
will look on with stoHd Indifference and
while the candidate of the great
party of the country is
elected while his upric hit, impartial ad-

caption, the Petersburg (Va.) Daily Express
of the 10th says: "One of the most dis

Free States, treat the solemn warning OF
the South that the election of Fremont will

PENNSYLVANIA.

The news from Pennsylvania continues o
wear highly favorable aspect, The State,
as may be guessed, has been pretty we'll can
vassed up to this time, and it is the judg-
ment of those of our friends who have the
best opportunity of knowing the facts in the
case. that Mr. Buchanan will be beaten in
Pennsylvania from fifteen to thirty thousand
votes. The State election is to be held on
the 18th of October, the result of which
will be strong indication as to how the
State will vote on the 4th of November for
Presidential Electors. The following arti-
Gle from the Philadelphia North American
has peculiar interest at this time:
The CANVASS IN PENNsYLvANIA.--Oft the
opposition members of the present Congress,
the following have been nominated for re-
election: Messrs. Mllard, Bradshaw, Camp
bell, Kunkle, Todd, Roberts, Edie, Knight,
Ritchie, Purviance, Covode, Dick, and Grow.
In the districts represented by these gentle
men all the elements of opposition are COM
bined in their support, and we anticipate the
reelection of all. Mr.. Bradshaw has ahard
and close district, so to some extent is Mr..
knights; and Mr.. Campbell's is the most
doubtful of all th candidates in the 9TH
ers, we think, will experience but little diff
Guilty. In Mr.. Pearce's district no candidate
has ct been named, but it is probable Gen.
Hale, of Centre, will be the nominee; the
present member declines on account of ILL
ness. In Mr.. Robinson's district, Joseph
Pumroy, of Juniata, is the nominee, and will
be elected. In Mr.. Packers district, our
friends expect to run volunteer candidate,
and they are also confident of electing Mr..
Myers in Barclays district. In the Chester
district, also, the Fremont men will doubt
less succeed in running John Hickman out;
and in Cadwallader's district there is q fair
show for the election of Mulvany, the oppo.
stion nominee. The election of either of
the four last named would be gain on our
side-The Philadelphia districts are still in
doubt but we believe the exercise of pro-
per spirit will enable the friends of Free
Kansas to carry them all.
According to this view, the only district
sure to the Buchaniers is that Of j. CLANCY
Jones-The Berks district; and in any
event, we do not see how the new delegation
can be less favorable to us than the present
one.
The October election in this State, is one
of vast importance. Upon the Legislature
to be chosen will depend the choice of .
U. s. Senator in place of Brodbead there
are also three State offices to be filed and
the, Congressional election is, of itself, cf
vast moment In the excitement about the
Presidency let us not forget the preliminary
battle SO far, in all the districts out Of
Philadelphia, there has prevailed kindly
feeling of conciliation and harmony, which
cannot fail to lead us on to victory, if we
rally our forces fully, at the October elec-
ton.

BALTIMORE, Sent,

BALTIMORE, Sept. III.
A terrible riot occurred this afternoon be-
tween Fillmore fishing club and party Of
men at the Seventeenth Ward Democratic
headquarters in this city. Two men were
shot dead, and some twenty others wounded,
several it is believed, fatally. The fight
lasted only few minutes, but the firing was
heavy and severe. Neither of the men were
engaged in the fight, and most of the wound
ed were residents in the vicinity, attracted
to the spot by the disturbance.
The anniversary of the battle of North
Point was spiritedly celebrated to-day. The
military paraded, and the Association of De-

and the meeting passed off smoothly. There
