The s.OId Clay Whig.,,

Capt. JAMES WILLIAMS avows himself, in
the Union and American of Sunday, the au-
thor of the articles from an Old Line
Wing" He confcsses that he rejected the
nomination of Gen. Scott in 1852, and sup
ported Mr.. Fillmore Why did he pursue
this course ? In letter to the Nashville
american. dated the 9th October, 1852,
he gives the reasons. He believed that the
nomination of Gen. Scott was an 'unholy
bargain" between the "whig and abolition
parties" and he declared
al wiH never consent for The sake Of a party tn
,rnph TO the iumolGtion Of s'lch mon as hILLAKD

CURLING their Hcenfiou assaults wpO'' the COHstiiu-

This was patriotic language. 1t was a
tribute to Mr.. Fillmore that was justly due
him. He had "nobly breasted the storm
of fanatcism" and curbed "licentious as
sault upon the constitutional rights of the
South" aud Capt. Williams grateful Ian
guadge found a response in thousands of
manly bosoms. Now. we would like to
know what Mr. Fillmore has since done to
make him unworthy of trust as protector
of the constitutional rights of the South"

upon which he stood in 1852. when Cant
Williams declared he would not consent TO
immediate him. Yet Capt. Williams is now
opposed to him, aud makes an exhibition
of his own consistency by bringing up in
judgment against Mr.. F. the old Erie let

in Is4s, aud which his administration for

and fairness? For our part, we would

For the Nashville Patriot.

For the Nashville Patriot.
The action of the Democratic Convention in no.
minating JAMES BUCHANAN for the Presidency, is
one Of the astonishing things of the age. That
party who have ever denounced Federalism odious
and dangerous republican institutions to bring
cut a man who aVowed himself Federast, and
acted very conspicuous part while member of
that party, is certainly very strange. 1t has ever
been considered an objectionable sin with the De-
mocrstc party, for whg to have voted in Congress
with member that was supposed to have ever
favored Federalism, and he was denounced before
the public as Federalist. o! consistency, thou
art jewel 1t is said this same James Buchanan,
once speaking Of the Democratic party said that if
be thought there was one drop of Democratic blood
in his veins he would cut them and let it out. Has
his blood been purified since? We will go through
a kind of pOstmOrtem examination to see. View
commence at the heart, the seat of life and action,
here we find the large cavities filed with Jesuit
Catholic blood that holds its allegiance to the Pope
of Rome who would sap the very foundations of our
Government and institute in its place. onarchy
and religious intolerance. Next We find the great
iugular vein filed with secession blood that would
sever this Government, and dissolve the Union.
Next we 6ud the great arteries that through the
thigh filed with Abolition blood that would set our
negroes free among us, and drench the South in
the blood of our families Next we find the arteries
running through the arms filled with freesoil blood
that would prevent the people OF the South from
moving with their slave property to the territories
of the United States, though they fought and bled
to acquire it, Next we find the entire extremites
filed up with Foreign Pauper and criminal blood
And what little Conservative blood is left is de-
generate it can effect nothing towards preserving
the UuOn.
This same James Buchanan denounced Madison,
the father of Democracy as unworthy of the posi-
ton he occupied, and stated that the Government
was unsafe under such an administration. This
came James Buchanan advocated in Congress the
doctrine that the aboring men Of this country
should be reduced to a level with the laboriDg men
of Europe so as to bring manufactured articles
as low as those of foreign manufacture, and then
there would be no necessity tor protective tariff
l am aboring man and a Democrat, and cannot
see for the life of me, how any laboring man can
vote for James Buchsnan for the Presidency, when
we have such a man as Willard Fillmore before us.

Mr.. BUCHANAN AND Low WAGEs.-We
give an extract or two from speech deliver
ed by him on the 22d Of January, 1910:
The foreign manufacturer goes home, purS
ctdses has labor, his wool, and Other articles
which enter into his manufacture at half their
cost in this country"
Reduce tie nominal to the real standard Of
prices throughout the aOOrId, and you cover the
country with blessings and benefits.
Articles are manufactured in France and
Germany for One-hGH their actual cost in this
country" Mr.. Buchanan'S speech OF Janu-
airy 22d.l
The average of what Mr.. Buchanan cOnsidz
cred the real standard" of wages at the time
in Europe was about ten cents a day, viz: In
France, from to 10; in Germany, from to
IA, and in Holland from to 10 cents per day.
1t was reduction of wages to this standard,
10y an exclusive specie circulation that Mr..
Buchanan thought would ''cOver the country
with blessings" Working men have very diff
ferent views of the matter Washington Or

AMERICAN ELECTORAL TICKET,
WEDNESDAY, JULY 2, 1856.


The Union and american gives the n. Y
E0enl4g Post as its authority for saving
that the American Club of New York. re-
ported to have gene over to Fremont "con-
sisted of between two and three hundred
members" We do not see the Post. We
had the Tribune and Herald of the ODD
June before us, and neither of them said
anything as to the number. The Union
end american vexed and soreIy perpIexed by
ITS lndiscreet reliance on the black republi-
can enemy Of Mr.. Fillmore, the Tribune
essays to make point against us by QUO
ting what the Herald of the oath saws about
the number, date of the Herald we had
not seen when our article of Monday was
written!
Our argument in regard to the charac-
ter of the club was founded upon evidence
furnished by the proceedings as republished
In the Union and american, one of the reSo-
lutionS of which declared the action of the
American Convention which nominated
Fillmore and Donelson, had by its {" con-
cessions to the South" absolved the men,
bers of the club from the support of the
nominees. The fact that these proceedings
turned out to be an imposture, does not
make the argument unsound.
The Union and american says:
The Patriot charges US with having altered
sentence in the proceedings copied into our paper
from the Tribune. We made no such alteration
Our proof reader carefully compared the proof with
the copy, and discovered no such discrepancy as
the Patriot points out"
We never assert any thing as a fact,
within our own knowledge, that we can't
prove. We have the n. Y. Tribune of the
23d before us. The sentence referred to
reads in it as follows
"I, therefore, returned back an altered man up.
on the subject of slavery"
In the Union and American of the 28th
June, the article of the Tribune is repub-
lished and the sentence reads thus
81, therefore, returned back and altered my mind
upon the subject Of slavery"
Our neighbor can have our Gle of the
Tribune to satisfy himself, if he desires to
do so.
A word in conclusion as to the tone of
the Union and Anrericaas article 1t is not
such as we shall complain Of If it confne
itself to the arena of reason and argument
and conduct itself with knightly courtesy,
we shall SILVER lance with it whenever
the bugle-nOtes summon us to the encOun-
ter. If it choose to indulge in a question
able propensity to gather together small
things to bring reproach upon the Ameri-
can cause, we shall expose it, however little
inclined we may be tn engage in such work.
If he thinks be can advance his own, or the
responsibility Of his paper, by degeneratng
into personalities, let him indulge bis taste in
that way. We never Intentionally insHlt any

all our contemporaries, and shall treat them
with all proper respect. We shall exact

Grand Democratic Rally in Buffalo.

The democrats of Buffalo, New York, held
grand rally on Monday night, the 10th inst,
to ratify the nomination of Buchanan. The
meeting was held in the Eagle Street Theatre,
and every effort was made for a grand and i'm
posing demonstration. The meeting organ
lied, and resolutions ratifying the nomination
were submitted when the assemblage was ad-
dressed by the leaders, among whom were II.
W. Rogers, Bryan, the editor of the Buchanan
organ, II. S. Cutting, and W. L. G. Smith, af-
ter which the resolutions were put to a vote
and roted d0DH. The result SO overwhelmed
the officers, the Patriot says, "there was no
adjournment. The last vote was sufficient, and
the officers of the meeting quietly took their
hats and decamped informally. Altogether it
was funny meeting. There was no positive
disOrder-no one got mad. The whole thing
was the richest farce ever performed in that
or any other theatre. Augusta Chronicle.

RnrYaIuabIe Women.

A female friend, who has been worker"
during a long and useful life, requests US
to republish the following. 1t gives us
great pleasure to crafty her:
"Our valuable women-thOse wives and
mothers who realize our highest and most
true ideal of womanhood-those women who
give to the State its noblest statesmen, and to
society its largest soued and most valuable citi-
zens-those who are to their husbands and
households, to the world and Gods church,
like angel messengers from the land of love,
where are they found? From what depart
ments Of life are they gathered into the hearts
and homes of men, to brighten and cheer, to
love and labor and endure? Is it from hot beds
of Incidence and luxury, and self indulgence
Every observer of society knows that mans
most valuable help-meet is reared in another
atmosphere. Some rare plants do indeed
bloom in such an enervating air, as if to show
as that such a thing is possible.
There is many daughter whose hands or
whose genius furnish home and bread to veneer
able parents, who is excluded from the society
she is fitted to adorn, because the stigma of
labor is upon her. 1t should, in Christian So
ciety, be an insignia of honor. 1t will thus be
if society ever sees, excepting through glass
darby
Behold the troop of admiring friends turn
coldly away, when death shuts mp the ledger
and counting room of the husband and the
father and wife and daughters are forced to
labor for their daily bread. If they can man
age by an i'll concealed economy to live APP

ally lose caste. But let them once enter their
names upon the list of societys ,00rkers-let
them turn their accomplishments, or talents,
or ingenuity out of channels of mere amnse-
ment, into those of productive, remuneratSUe
labor, and see if they will not speedily lose
caste, even with those who may perhaps sit at
the same communion table of their common
Lord
There is many a father who tolls in his bu-
sness more hours each day than he ought
who is perhaps absolutely shortening his life,
to enable his daughters to squander their youth
in busy idleness, in trying to be what the
world calls ladies' These daughters would be
healthier, happier, and longer lived-they
would be more capable of comforting and re-
ceiving happiness in domestic life, and would
be better developed in body, mind and soul,
if their father furnished them more domestic
employments aud fewer servants, or ii he re-
CURED them in some vocation of art, or use OF
their education, to tighten mis- tolls, or benefit

The Consultation, the Union, the rights Of the
the States--all these will be upheld and mains
tanned. Bis past administration is an ample qua
rantee for the future. He it is, if mortal can,
who will put an end to the violent and danger
Gus agitation which is now raging with such fear

fanaticism of the North, and restore to the two
sections of the Union that fraternal feeling and
mutual confidence which animated the fathers OF

never have been formed.
No one can mistake the spirit and purpose with

which marked the first years of its existence; and,
if possible, to quiet that alarming sectional agita-

Hon. Charles Ready.

We are authorized 20 give positive and
unqualified contradiction to the mention of
a rumor which appeared in the Union and
american few days since, that Mr. Ready
had declared himself in favor of Buchanan
and Breckenridge. Mr.. Fillmore has no
more sincere and ardent supporter in the
country, than Charles Ready. He is not
only sincere, but from indications at Wash
ington, is sanguine that Mr.. FiIlmore's
strength is daily increasing, while Mr.. Bu-
chanan is sinking rapidly.

The Dry Rot.


The Mohawk Courier, which the Albany
Statesmen says "has been for twenty-three
years the leading, and for the most of that
time, the only Democratic paper in the county
of Herkimer-the standard bearer of the
Tenth Legion, the month piece of Craine,
Spinner, Mann, Beckwith and LOOMS, among
the living, and of Hoffman and Others, who
have gene to their last account wheels
into the ranks of Republicanism.
The Bloomington Newsletter, Democratic
paper, has been sold TO Mr. Cox, formerly of
the Salem Flag, and will shortly be publishe d
as Republican paper.
JOHN BRuUGH. formerly leading Democrat
of Hamilton county, and editor OF the Oincin
natl Enquirer, at political meeting in India
napolis last week, made the following siguif
cant remarks
Il shall not attempt to make 8 speech at
this time, even a Democratic speech, for the
reason that if | should DOW begin where left
off twelve years ago, my speech might be too
much of a free soil speech, or tmight not be at
present an othodox democratic speech"
Judge Hoadley one of the speakers at
the Fremont ratification meeting in Cincin-
matt, is recent deserter from the demo
cratic ranks.
These signs with others tell where the
Black Republicans are drawing recruits
from, and indicate plainly that the race in
the free States is to be between Fillmore
and Fremont. Hurrah for Fillmore
