MEANNEss The Know Nothing Council
of Philadelphia have refused the use Of the
Hall of Independence for the reception Of
james Buchanan.
Yes--we say meanness. The above para.
grnph is going the rounds Of the locofoco
journals. The meanness consists in the lie
the locofocos are telling about it. II was not
the Know Nothing councils that refused the
use of Independence Hall for the reception of
Mr.. Buchanan, but the common council of
Philadelphia, and the objection was started
and urged by prominent friends of General
Pierce, who are getting afraid Of "Old Bucks
prospects for the nomination. There was
meanness in the refusal--but not half MS much
MS in the locofoeo editors lying about il.
yP While ut Cleveland we had the pleas
sure Of meeting with Mr.. Poats, formerly OF
the Rogersville Times, but now Of the Chat.

even in these stirring times. We wish him
the most abundant success every way.

BUCHANAN IN PEsSsYLvAKIA.--A dispatch

BUCHANAN IN PENEsYLvAkIA.-A dispatch
from Lancaster says:
Mr.. Buchanan's entrance into PENNSYLVANIA
was an ovation. He left Philadelphia yester
day morning, and was received along the
route, from Philadelphia to his home ut Lsn-
caster, by Populations of the people, of all
parties, with significant demonstrations.
All along the line there was display Of
banners and an nrray of people, which mani
tested their heartfelt devotion for the great
Pennsylvania.
On his arrival Mt his own house, the old,
the young, the matron and the .maid, all turn
ed out to receive him. twas general and
generous outpouring Of the people.
Business was suspended, and the universal
voice welcomed Old Buck. Men of all parties
united in the reception, and amid the firing of
cannon, and the ringing of church bells, and
the shouts of the people, he was greeted by
his friends. His speech in Centre square, 10
n large and enthusiastic assemblage of his
neighbours and friends, was touching and elo-
quent. He. retired to his home amid the
paudits of his fellow citizens. Never in the
history Of this popurous region has there been
such manifestation Of popular regard, since

"PREsIDEnTIAL."-The following is the
latest gossip from Washington concerning the
Cincinnati nomination:
All parties seem to admit, that Judge
Douglas holds the trump, as Gen. James, OF
Rhode Island, expressed it this morning, (the
General is Buchanan man. and if not nomi.
mated himself, he can determine whether the
gentleman on his right or left shall win. The
Pierce delegates have all expressed readi.
ness to rally around Douglas, should they fail
to secure their first choice. The Buchanan
men, it is understood will fall back on Mr..
Wise, Of Virginia. This is about MS near the
programme Of this important political body,
rs can be gathered from the best lights we
have; and if Senator Douglas fail to win, nm
disposed to believe that he will throw the
game into the hands of Gen. Rusk, Of Texas.
The second name upon the ticket must
necessarily depend upon the first. Should
Mr.. Buchanan receive the nomination, Gen.
Quiman. of Mississippi, will probably run
tor the Vice Presidency. II Judge Douglas
is the fortunate man, then Governor johnson,
of Georgia, stands forward most prominently,
bnt il President Pierce be re nominated, the
chances are that Tennessee will furnish the
second man on the list.

The RUMoRED DUEL-Ths rumor that a duel
was 10 be fought between Col. Lane, Of Kan
sas, and Senator Douglas of Illinois, has ex-
cited no little remark among the letter wri-
tiers and newspaper editors at Washington
and in New York. One of the latter thus dis
poses of the "duel:"
A battle between these two hostile Demo-
Gratis is certainly the last thing we should
have dreamed of yesterday as among the
probabilities Of this Kansas war. Col Lane,
we believe, commanded the Indiana volun
teers at Buena Vista; and Judge Douglas APP
pears OF late TO have taken quite religious
turn of mind. Some years ago, when at
Rome, it was reported that he was in danger
of becoming shining light of Holy Mother
Church; but that was mistake. We are as
sured, however, that it is no mistake that he
has of late, at Chicago, and at Washington,
made liberal cession or two of real estate
to the hard shell Baptist denomination, into
which church Gen. Houston was baptized
about a year ago. These contributions will
be charged by the aboltionists rs overtures
of peace between Mr.. Douglas and those three
thousand New England clergymen of the
original anti-Nebraska memorial; but we
rather incline to the opinion that he has been
acting under the religious influences of the
good example of the Senator from Texas
We hope it may be so, and that Mr.. Douglas
will have the christian courage to sacrifice
.even the Cincinnati nomination, If required.
rather than disgrace himself in a bloody af.
fray at Badensburg, with Colonel Lane or
Colonel anybody else.

How IT WoRKs IN The CrTT.-The New

count of the manner in which the American
cause is progressing in that great city. Ac.
cording to the Express the Donelson and Fill
more clubs are in the field, and their meet
ngs are spirited in feeling, increasing in
numbers, and full of spirit The editor says:
We attended one on Tuesday evening in
the 18th Ward, where the attendance was
large and confidence high that all would be
well. The meeting of the Fifth Ward Dom
elsOn and Fillmore club on Thursday eve
ming was one of the largest and most enthu-
slastic We have ever seen. There could hard.
ly have been more feeling or better spirit
manifested in the very midst of the canvass.
MIR. Fillmore's name was received with cheers
rs often as 1t was mentioned and honored
with rounds of applause. 1t is half dozen
months or more before the election, but we
predict there will be q constant increase of
this enthusiasm up to the election. The class
OF persons attending these meetings are not
politicians. They are composed Of working
men, mechanics, property holders, and of
those whose tirst hopes and highest wishes
are to see the Government well administered.
We feel the highest encouragement both
from the sterling charscter Of those who afe
present. They betoken m auspicious future,
and decree at least one great fact, which is
that the next great political battle is to be
fought in this country between those who
mean to perpeiuate the policy and principles
of The present Administration, and those who
mean to Americanze and harmonic the land.
There isn't ghost Of "A chance for any third
party and time will prove this to be true.

States that the success Of either faction
must add fuel to fame which threatens to
wrap our dearest interests in one common
ruin
Resolved, That the only remedy for an evil
so appalling is to support candidate pledged
to neither geographical section, nor arrayed in
political antagonism, but holding both in just
and equal regard and we congratulate the
friends of the Union that such a candidate ex-
lists in WILLARD FILLMORE.
RESOLVED, That without adopting the pecu-
liar principles of the party which has already
selected Mr.. Fillmore as its candidate, we look
upon him as the we'll tried faithful friend q
the Constitution and the Union, eminent alike
for his wisdom and his frmness for his justice
and moderation; in our foreign relations for a
calm and pacific temperament we'll becoming
the head Of great and enlightened Gov for
devotion to the Constitution in its true spirit;
and his infexibility in executing the laws; but
beyond all these attributes in possession one
transcendant merit in being the representative
of neither of the sectional parties now strug-
Cling for political supremacy.
RESOLVED, That in the present excitement of
political affairs, we are not called upon to
discuss subordinate questions of Adminstra-
tons. In exercisining the Constitutional
powers Of the Government it is enough to
know that civil war is raging, and that the
Union is in peril and to proclaim our convic-
tons that the restoration of Mr.. Fillmore to
the Presidency will furnish the best if not the
only means Of restoring peace.
RESOLVED, That we cordially approve the
nomination of Andrew Jack son Donelson for
the Vice Presidency, regarding him as ma
tional conservative patriot faithfully devoted
to the Constitution and the Union.
RESOLVED, That the spontaneous raising of
the Wings throughout the country, their
prompt rally to the support of the highest ma
tional interests, and the spirit here displayed,
sufficiently attest the national Importance of
preserving and retaining the party organiza-
ton; and that a national Wing Committee of
one from each of the States be appointed by
the President, with authority to call any fu-
ture convention, and generally promote the
extensive organization of the party through
out the United States.
ResoIved, That these resolutions be publish
ed, and submitted by this Convention as an
address to the People of the United States.
The resolutions were received with un-
bounded enthusiasm, and unanimously adopt
