BUCHANAN AND JAcKsoy.-The leaders of
tho democratic party are laboring hard to
prove that Mr.. Buchanan was not instrument
tai in getting up the charge Of Bargain and
Intrigue against Clay and Adams. But ar.
guments In such cause are thrown away
Buchanan cannot be relieved from connection
with that monstrous piece of viIlainy without
duplicating Andrew Jackson; and whenever
the democratic leaders say that the former is
not guilty as charged, they, in so many words,
charge the latter with the grossest falsehoods
and slander-they can't relieve Mr.. Buchanan
without fixing the authorship Of the vile en-
lumny upon Gen. Jackson-wthout fixing
upon his memory stain that will outlive his
most illustrious Deeds That many of them
arc ready 10 sacrifice the reputation Of the
man whom they pretended TO worship while
living, for the benefit of the present head Of
the party, or rather for their own benefit, is
evident; but that the great mass Of the party
whom they arc trying to mislead and delude,
will tolerate such hagitious conduct on the
part Of party leaders, we will not believe
We know that the masses are honest and in.
tclligent, and that they will not stand silently
by and witness ihe furnishing Of the fair
fame Of one ofthe greatest men thatever lived,
for no other object but to promote the selfish
purposes of few corrupt politicians who
expect to profit by Buchanan's election.
tE- The democratic leaders are death on
"secret political organizations" Why don't
they tell us about the secret democratic po-
litical organization, having lie head at Nash
Vile and extending into every civil district in
every county in this great Commonwealth
Now come to taw, TO the book, gentlemen,
and confess that your dread Of secret socie-
ties was the veriest affectation--a mere dodge
TO cover up your own Vaccinations against
free, wise and unrestricted exercise Of the
right of suffrage. Oh, but you're pretty boys
TO be preaching against the dark lanterns
YOU, with your committees in every county,
aud your minute men in every civil district,
20 watch the "fshy" and prevent them from
pursuing that course dictated by patriotism
and duty! The Know Nothngs may hang
their lanterns on the tall oaks and the black
Jacks, for, In this canvass, democracy is MS far
ahead Of them In the secrecy and darkness OF
its movements, as the blackness Of midnight
is ahead Of the gathering gloom Of twilight
EE All our information from the counties
above us Is Of the most cheering character
A gentleman who has travelled through most
of the country north Of the Tennessee, repre-
acnts that the American fires are burning
brightly on every hilltop, and that there will
be large gains for Fillmore in almost every
county. From beyond the mountain the
most gratifying intelligence rsaches us--the
canvass Is being thoroughly prosecuted by
Che Fillmore speakers, and their triumphs are
M olian as they speak, aud accessions are
daily made to the American ranks Or our
own immediate section. we can say TO our
friends abroad. sAll's Well" East Tennes.
