The Dark Lantern Men who Won
American Liberty.

The righteous democracy of the present
day roll up their pharisacal eyes in pious
horror at the idea Of Americans meeting
in secret to devise means to sustain their
cause and to promote the happiness and
prosperity Of their country. In the days
that tried mems souls there were enemies
of Repubicanism, men devoted to British
interests, minions of British tyranny, who
had similar horror of secrecy. The pa
triots Of those days, however, had their
secret meetings, and secret movements, a
fact which, we doubt not will cause mod
ern opponents Of secrecy to shudder.
In the Journal of the Continental Con-
gress, Sept. Is, l775, page los, may be
found the following resolution
"Resolred, That a SECRET Committee be ap-
pointed TO contract for the importation and
delivery Of any quantity Of gunpowder not
exceeding five hundred tons.
That in case such quantity of gunpowder
cannot be procured, TO contract for the impor-
tation of so much salt pelre, with proper
tomato quantity ofsulphur, as with the powder
procured. will make five hundred tons.
That the said Committee be empowered to
contract for the the importation OF forty brass
field pieces, Xix Founders, for 10, 300 stand of
arms, and 10000 good plain double bride
musket locks.
That the said Committee be empowered
70 draw on the treasurer TO answer said Gun
tracts.
That the said Committee consist OF nine
members, any five of whom 10 be quorum.
The members chosen were Messrs. Will
ing, Franklin, Livingston, Alsop, Deane,
Dickerson, Langdon, Mexican aud Ward.
These old revolutioners, by the light of

them 10 throw Of JoreigA yoke. They
we're denounced in their day. as their de-
scendants, engaged in work equally holy,
are now.

SANFORD HARRISON.

Mr.. FILLMoRE's CHANcEs.-The New York
Sunday Despatch, a neutral paper, makes the
following remaks relative TO the prospects of
the candidate of the American party in the
approaching Presidential election:
1.-The next astonisher was what followed
the return of Mr.. Fillmore, the most unpopu-
lar candidate of them all, from q visit TO the
Pope and other crowned heads of Europe
When IL was supposed he would hardly be no.
tced, a magnificent welcome was extended
10 him. Not only Know Nothings, but
the people generally joined in doing him hon.
or. His speeches in favor of the compromise
measures and the Union, have electrified the
masses, and TO day We find men who had been
talking IN favor of Buchanan and Fremont,
now giving in their adhesion to Fillmore.
Commodore Stockton is out for him.
The North Americans, it is whispered. will
endorse him in a day or two. Edward Ever

friends can keep the steam az the same figure q

no disguising the fact that the sentiment OF
the country Is against sectional strife and
discord. With the exception Of few fanatics

American ElcctoraI tickets.

Opponents of the American Party, in
the absence Of something more elevated
and dignifed to strengthen their cause,
have resorted- to the most contemplate spe-
cies of warfare. They have charged, and
are still charging, that, so hopeless are the
prospects of Mr. Fillmore, his friends have
been unable to get up electoral tickets in
but few States. We have heretofore
stated the facts, and will do SO again, in
the hope that our American readers will
bear. them in mind. The following are the
States in which the American Party have
electoral tickets already:

The Game OF classification.

The n. Y. Herald is trying to bolster up
the Negro Worshippers' candidate, Ere
mont, by deception. 1t says in late num-
Der
eve receive at this Office sixty-fve political
newspapers from the State of Pennsylvania,
published there These are divided between
the three leading political parties in the fol-
lowing proportions:-For Buchanan there are
twenty-on with circulation of 80, 900; for
Fillmore there are three, with a circulation of
LOO; while for Fremont there are forty one,
with circulation of S8,512."
Now it so happens, there are about forty
Fillmore and DOnelson papers in Pennsyl-
vania, and the names of thirty-two of them
we give below. There is one paper in Penn
sylvania, received by the Herald, (the Phil
adelphia Inquirer which has much larger

The Van Burens and Benton for Bu-
Chanan.

Is it not a significant fact that the Van
Burens and Benton, notorious free-soilers,
denounced as such by the democratic press,
without recanting their opinions on the
subject of slavery, have warmly eSpOused
the cause of Mr.. Buchanan? Would they
have done this, If they had not knoion their
man? For more than thirty years they
have been either in public life WITH or had
other ample opportunities to take the length
and breadth and depth of Mr.. Buchanan.
They are familiar with and understand him
thoroughly. They know that he is an anti
slavery man, opposed to extending the lin
its of the Union over new slaveholding ter
ritory, that he regards slavery as great
moral and political evil, and they do not
fear, us free-sOlers, to trust him on the
slavery question. And if such men are not
afraid to trust him, believing that he is at
heart with them, have not the Southern
people good reason to suspect his sincerity,
aud to fear to trust their interests to his
keeping? We think they have-that they
ought to be sure of being on the safe side,
before they put their faith in any man. 1t
appears to us that, under the circumstances,
Mr.. Fillmore is the man for them. He has
filed the Presidential Chair at time when
the country was torn with dissensions on
the slavery question, and their rights en-
dangered; and he proved true, faithful and
conscientious. In the exultant language
of Mr.. WARD the President of the Cncin-
natl Convention, he 'preserred tie COnsti-
tuition Of his country, care peace TO the land are
lore, and repoSe to the institutions ochich ace
cherish" A statesman who has done these
things is surely safe repository Of the con-
fidence of the South-One who can be re-
lied upon in every emergency, and we re-
gard ii as the duty of the South to avail
herself again of his patriotic services BY
so doing she will insure the preservation of
her rights, and steer clear Of all co-opera-
ton with such enemies of her institutions
as the Van Burens and other free-soilers
to obtain whose support Mr.. Buchanan
was nominated

MIR. Buchanan and the Indepen-
denCe of Texas.

In the Senate of the United States in
May, 1886, a proposition to recognize the
Independence Of Texas was discussed. Mr.
Buchanan opposed it. On the 9th Of that
month be declared "as an Amerioa" SeHa-
tor he could gius the TSrans nothing but his
prayers aud his good tcisdes. See Cong.
Globe, page 800 On the 23d of May, af-
ter Texas has triumphed and fairly won
her independence, be still opposed the pro-
position, declaring at the same time that
he believed the dominion of Mc1ioO orer Ter
as tOdS gone forerer"
On the LIST Of March, 1886, the follow
ing resolution offered by Mr.. Walker Of
Mississippi, was adopted by a vote of %
yeas to 10 nays. Mr.. Buchanan rOted
against Il, notwithstanding nearly year
previously be admitted that the dominion Of
Mexico over Texas was gone forever
"ResolUed, That the State Of Texas having
established and maintained en- independent
Government, capable of performing those du
ties, foreign and domestic, which appertain 10
independent Governments and IL appearing
that there is no longer any reasonable pros
meet of the successful prosecution Of the war
by Mexico against said Ssate, IL is eIpedieni
and proper, ia conformity with the laws OF
nations and the practice Of this Government
in ike GASES, that tie independent political ex-
istence of said State be acknowledged by the
Government of the United States,"
See Cong. GLOBE, page 476.

not time to comment on them. The reader

The New York Courier d enquirer has 3 column

the restoration Of the Missouri Compromise. 1t

during the election Of Speaker, and the decl Iaton
Of Mr.. Fuller, their candidate, that he opposed

Here are tooenty-three States, comprising
all Of the Southern States except South
Carolina, which votes through her Legisla-
ture, and nine free States We challenge
any democratic press to show as many
States wherein there are Buchanan electo-
raj tickets. Upon this point the Louisville
Journal says
As yet the Buchanan and Breckenridge par
ty have an electoral ticket in not half this
number of States. In many of the Northern
States, it is confidently believed, there will be
20 Buchanan electoral ticket. Nr. Buchanan
is evidently not in the race. Every week,

In 1913, Mr.. Buchanan expressed him.
self in favor Of applying the Missouri re-
striction to the new territories acquired
from Mexico, for the purpose of settling the
slavery agitation which followed the ac-
QUESTION. In 1850 be still favored the same
project, desiring with the Southern dis
unionists, to extend the restrictive line to
the Pacific Ocean. This proposition aoas

States 1t would have given up portion
Of New MericO, the achOLt Of Utah, and more
than half of California, including the gold
region, to settlement as free territory.
This was Mr.. Buchanan's way of disposing
Ofthese territories. The South would have
been driven Internationally from all that
were worth having.
But Mr.. Buchanan's project failed I'm

slavery agitation in regard to these terrific
rieS was disposed Of California having
formed State Constitution was admitted
as a State Utah and New Mexico were
provided with territorial governments, and
in the acts organizing them, it is provided
that they shall be admitted into the Union
with or without slavery as they may deter
mine. Slaves are already held in Utah,
which lies above the line of sc deg. 30 min. !;
and it is probable that slavery will be re-
cOgnized, under the State government, as
a domestic institution. A State Constitu-
ton has already been formed with view
to application for admission into the Union,
and the Black Republicans denounce it be-
cause it does not prohibit slavery. The
Compromise measures which guarantee the
admission of Utah as a slave State, were
signed by Mr.. Fillmore.
Thus we find that whilst Mr.. Buchanan
