Pennsylvania.


A close watch is kept on the political signs
of the times in Pennsylvania, from the fact
that she is the "Keystone," and very much
of the weight of the fabric rests on her head
and shoulders. Our friends there appear
understand their position flliy, and are pre-
pared for the contest. They speak conf
dently. The following from the Pittsburgh
Commercial foreshadows their expectations,
at least so far as those of that well informed
and able journal is concerned :-"We regard
the election of our State ticket, Canal Com
missioner, Auditor General and Surveyor
General, as sure and settled beyond per
adventure. So manifest has this become,
that our opponents taeitiy concede the point,
sud prepare to cover the consequences of de.
feat by insisting that Mr.. Buchanan is twen-
ty to thirty thousand votes stronger than
the Democratic State Ticket. This was the
language ofa prominent Democrat, addressed
to us but yesterday, to break the fall that
surely awaits them on the second Tuesday
Of October But it is fimsy pretenser-We
have no doubt the Democratic electoral tick
ct win receive an increased vote over their
State ticket But this increase will not
compare with the kindred increase which
the Fremont electoral ticket will receive
over the Union State ticket. We shall beat
them thirty five Thousand on the Electoral,
and they have just begun to perceive and
feel the coming of their overthrow"

Terrible Accident ON the Mich. South.
ern Railrod--Eight Men Killed and
Twenty Wounded. a.5 iZs sn
On Saturday evening, between 6 and o.
clock, q terrible accident occurred on the
Michigan Southern Railroad, about a mile
this side of the crossing of the New Albany
and Salem Railroad. From what we can
learn it appears that a construction train,
with an engi"e and two caboose cars filed
with Irish laborers, was trying to get into
Laporte before the freight train coming west
should leave that station the engineer of
the construction train having understood, in
some way, that the freight train was so much
behind time that he would be able to reach
it there. This information, it appears, was
incorrect, and the two trains came in collis-
ion at the place above stated, both going at
rapid rate. The crash was awful, and re-
suited in killing outright, eight of the la
borers, and bad y wounded some twenty
others. Both engines were smashed, and
also the caboose cars, twenty freight cars,
and three new engines which were being
brought on for the Chicago and Rock Island
Railroad. The tender of the engine attached
to the construction train was forced back
into the last caboose car. The engineers
and fremen Of both trains jumped off and
escaped injury. AS soon as the accident oc-
Cured, the engineer on the construction
train ran into the woods, and has not been
heard of since. The track was badly torn
up, and the passenger trains delayed some
hours.
A messenger was Immediately sent to La
porte for assistance, and as soon as the acci-
dent was known in this city, special train
III A. Al
We are informed that the freight train was
on time, and that. the blame must rest with
the person in charge of the construction
train. .s
The track was cleared yesterday, and
trains this morning will 60 through without
detention. We could not obtain he names
of the killed and injured, but learn that
they were all residents Of Laporte, and that
most Of them have families in INDECENT cir
cumstances. The officers of the road did
every thing in their power to provide for the
comfort and recovery of the injured.-Chi-

Banks and Douglas.

We take the following from the great
speech of Speaker Banks to the merchants
of New York: rl - i.s.5 ,.s
"Mr Douglas in December, 1853, made a
report on bill which proposed to repeal the
Missouri act of 1920, in which he declared
in explicit terms that the repeal of the Mis-
souri, Compromise would be a violation of
'he settling measures of 1850, and would
open up again the great agitation which had
been so happily settled by that measure.
read to you passage of this report. He
says:
"'Your Committee do not feel themselves
called upon to enter into the discussion of
these controverted questions. They involve
the same grave issues which produced the
agitation, the sectional strife and fearful
struggle Of 1850. A Congress deemed it
wise and prudent to refrain from deciding
the matters in controversy then, either by
affirming or repeating the Mexican laws, or
by an act declaratory of the true intent of
the Constitution, and to the extent of the
protection afforded by it to slave property in
the Territories; SO your committee are not
prepared now to recommend departure
from the course pursued on that memorable
occasion, either by affirming or repeating the
9th section of the Missouri act, or by any
act declaratory of the meaning of the con-
stitution in respect to the legal points in dis
pute.' @'r 49,
"That is the report of Mr.. Douglas, made
in January, 1854; and not made by Mr..
Douglas, of Illinois, alone but made by him
as chairman of a committee of Southern or
igin and Southern principles, to which had
been referred the question of the Terrific
ries of the United States in the Senate of the
United States TWAS rec ived without a
murmur by the entire Southern portion of
the Senate of the United States, and even
Mr.. Atchlson-the only man who since then
has led on the war in the Territory of Kan
sas-has said in the year 1858, the year pre-
viously, that he was himself perfectly con-
tent that an organized government should Be
established from the Territory of Kansas,
without any reference whatever to the re-
peal of the Missouri Compromise act. Now,
in this act Of Democratic Senators, on the
Committee of Territories, in the declaration
of Mr.. Douglas, in the declaration of Mr..
Atchison, in the declaration of General Cass,
in the, declaration of the President of the
United States-in these declarations of men
representing every portion of this confede-
sracy-yOu have the avowed assurace that
that line was to stand. But the compromise
has been repealed, and it's. repeal has given
to the world scenes Of infam1 and wrong OF
which we have not yet seen the end and of
which no man can predict the result. ei'd

Mr.. Buchanan's Amdavits in Favor of
Fremont.


Fremont.
The Washington Union discredits Mr.. Blu.
chanan under oath. Referring to the affida.
Wits in cxculpation of Col. Fremont from all
the charges trumped up against him in rela
ton to his transactions IN California, the
Union says: ''It is evi lent that Mr.. Buchan-
an, in 1852 Tin declaring Fremont the con.
nuerer Of California; labored under the
same misapprehension as to the conquest o
California, which prevailed throughout the
country" Whereupon the N. Y. Herald
comments in this wise: H
"'It is evident is it +? How evident? Tho
conquest of California took place in 1916
from which time to the end of the Mexican
war, and for year after, James Buchanan
was Secretary of State at Washington, a
very good position, one would think, for Sc.
curing Che official and authentic facts of the
doings of Fremont in California.
"Mr. Buchanan's opinion is given six years
after the conquest in issue. During this i'll
terval the history and unofficial
of all the military operations in California oil
Col. Fremont and all others engaged in the
war, were published in all sorts Of forms, by
government and upon private speculation
and during this interval, Goo, the claims oil
Colonel Fremont for the fulfilment of debts
incurred in the public service, were fully
canvassed by James Buchanan, as our Secre.
tary of State. With all these advantages
and opportunities for a correct Judgment
James Buchanan, in the retirement of an in.
dependent citizen, more than six years after
the great event of which he speaks, dec'are
under oath and in writing, and without fear
or shection,' tlat in my opinion he (Colonel
Fremont is better entitled to be called the
Conqueror of California than any other
man,
'Yet the Washington Union tells us that
this opinion, thus deliberately formed, and
from the best possible sources of infor;na-
ton, was 'misapprehension'- James
Buchanan knew nothing Of what be was
swearing to be the truth, and that his testi-
mony is good for nothing. If, under all the
circumstances recited, such is the case, The
fact is established that james Buchanan has
lost his mind and his memory, and is, con-
sequently, utterly unfit for tho important
duties of the Presidency" fs asl

A Difference Of Opinion.

Gen. John A. Dix, formerly Free-Soiler
is now one of the active supporters Of Mr.
Buchanan. His speeches in the pending
canvass, however, do not seem to be very
pleasant to the pro-slavery leaders of the
party. In his recent speech at Westchester
N. Y, he said:
"Now, it happened that he was in Boston
Immediately after the Emgrant Aid Society
was formed, and, as it was very much talked
about there, he became acquainted with its
plans. These were to buy lands in Kansas
to erect hotels for the temporary accommo.
dation of emigrants, until they could con-
struct habitations for themselves. The Mas.
sachusetts Society was nevertheless peac :
full organization, contemplating legitimate
aid to emigration, and obnoxious to no Sc.
'erer censure than that of indiscretion. And
he thought it was very indiscreet, though it
afforded no justification of the armed inter
vention in the affirs of Kansas by persons
going there from other States to control the
elections, and, through them, the organic
laws and ultimate destiny of the Territory. p
Gen. Dix, says the Chicago Press, is toe
recent convert to fully understand the
ropes of the party Of slavery-extension, il
not too conscientious to resort to their usual
tactics. Douglas could tell him, as he tells
every body else whom he can persuade to
isten to him, that the Emigrant Aid Society
has been the cause of all the troubles in
Kanzas. 1ndiscretion in ordinary cases can
be pardoned, but when it happens to step on
the track of the slavery train il
must be "crushed." No fair-minded man
however, not blinded by partisan feeling, will
admit that the Emigrant Aid Society was
guilty Of indiscretion even. 1t was fair
honorable, lawful enterprise to countera It q
bold, traiterous attempt to rob freedom of its
guaranteed heritage.
The party must keep watch of Gen. Dix
and not allow him to speak hereafter with
out the right sort of prompter.
