WARRINGTON NEWS AND GOSSIP.


idential election is near at hand We may ex
pect TO see an accumulation of falsehoods ana
gross perversion, designed to damage the De-
mocracy, and their publication, in some quar-
tiers, too late to afford time for successful con-
tradictiop. Truth failing to serve their pur-
pose, the opponents Of Buchanan and Brock.
;n-;d, o. resort to fable, of which fact We have
many evidences.
Notwithstanding the absurdity of the " weak
invention of the enemy" that Mr.. Buchanan il
tends to withdraw from the Presidential can
vass, the Fillmore press especially continues
to repeat it, and assumes to give the authority
of the Pennsylvania for the truthfulness Of
the assertion. And this is done by mutilating
an article in that paper, that Mr. Buchanan
does intend to withdraw, failing purposely to
add from Wheatlalid to the W hite House on
the fourth of March next" As we'll might

This is a mean shift, and which every hon.

Speaker Banks.-Severald days ago we slated
the fact that Mr.. Banks "held forth" at
Washington's Headquarters, Newburg, New
York-at Wall street to the merchants and
others-and now notice the publication that
he will tomorrow afternoon speak in Phils.

ence Square.
Entertaining the opinions he does, it cannot
be supposed that he had the boldness to OK.

headquarters of the Father of his Country,
whose fame is so dear to every lover of the
Union, and whose farewell address so plainly
yet strongly enfOrces the duty Of non-inter.

and of the importance of all severally attend

mandatory of the absorption" of the negro
race by the white is to be found therein, it is
q discovery which none but Mr.. Banks has
been privileged to make.
Nor is it to be presumed that such senti

will be repeated by him on that consecrated
ground where the declaration Of American

ties, measure his words, and weigh the import
OF his sentences; for the Pennsylvanians, as

Ths President.-We learn, by newspapers
| and by telegraph, that due honors have been
paid to the President of the United States on
lis way to New Hampshire. This was as we
anticipated, Notwithstanding the example
| which some Of the fanatics Of his own State
sought to set 10 their Republican brethren
elsewhere. The attentions Of both the civil
and military authorities of the intervening
cities should properly be regarded as severe
rebuke to those who. forgetting the dutie:
which hospitality imposes, suffered themselves
to degenerate into mere vulgar politicians.

Kansas Election The election in Kansa,
