Another old Calumny Rcfnted.


If it be possible to endanger the election of Mr.
Buchanan by calumny and falsehood we have IN.
mistakable evidence that there will be no hesitation
IN resortIng u that means of effecng his defeat.
The Independent Wing, published at Lancaster, in
Pennsylvania, has revived the false charge that in
some speech. made about forty years ago, Mr.. Buch
said if he had drop of democratic blood in his
veins he would let it out. The Lancaster Intelligent
Ger, which may be presumed TO speak authortativey
on this subject, disposes Of the base fabrication as
follows:
GA STALE FALsEHooD REVIVED The Independent

the work of defamation and fa!sehood for which It's
unprnclpled editor and owners have such n wonder

indeed should have been disappointed had
that paper pursued any other course The editor is
only lahonng IN his true vocation-doing the dirty
work of his INSCRIPTIONS master
Among other falsehoods against MI Buchanan
retaled In It's columns is the oftrefuted about
the drop OF blool.' The writer knows this to be
false; for ii was pronounced such by number of
our most respectable citizens, of all parties at The
time the charge was first started. And this fact the
writer for the Independent Wing was cognizant of
But ne says ne has living testimony to prove the
! charge Well then, why does he not produce his
testimony! We are aware that there is a old man
IN this city, whose character for veracity is so bad
ana whose conduct is so despcabIe, that no one
acquainted with him would believe him on oath,

we presume, is the authority upon whom the indie.

But let that paper produce its man, and we pledge

respectable citizens who will prove the story a
downright liza base, unmitigated falsehood from
beginning to end
6 Mr.. Buchanan has resided in this civ and its
vicinity for forty five years. His upright and con-
sisent character both in public and private life, i:
well known to almost every man, woman, and child
in this community. The people of this county have
time and again honored him with their suffrages and
1t is remarkable fact that he has never Vet been
Geaten at popular election before the people Of
Lancaster county 1t Isl therefore, all futile for
stroiIng Yankee nutmeg adventurer, like the edito
OF the independent Wing. to attempt to ipjure Mr.
buchanan at his own home The lie in question has
been repeated often by reckless and unprincpled
opposition as to have lost all novelty and interest

We append to this article the following from
the New York Express In relation to the same
subject as discussed by Mr.. McMaster, the
editor Of the New York Freeman's Journal
The harsh comments Of the Fremont presses upon
McMasters hot iron" letter we see, has drawn out
from the Hot Iron" writer to-day the following dec
laration:
All that we shall say is, lst That the assertion
made IN that letter is not what some represent it in
their commentsj and 3D. That it holds the writer in
word, which he is E6s- READY AND ABLE TO
Do and is not q volunteered challenge 70 any
OF those who have undertaken TO reply TO il" =
To SEQ precisely what the letter really "represents
we need only quote Mr.. McMaster's own language
as follows;
If any one can induce him (Fremont) 10 say over
his own signature that he has never professed to be
Catholic, then will brand him publicly as a liar
as know the whole story of his life in Washington,
and know that daily and for years he protested TO be
Catholic, and nothing but Catholic"
That is good English. In fact it is the plainest
piece of good English we have ever seen in the Free
mans Journal. There can be no misunderstanding
it, nor misinterpretng it
And" says Mr.. McMaster, :" if Col Fremont will
assert that he has given himself out as Cath
Ole, will clap the hot iron on him quick and sure
Mr.. McMaster then in the Journal Of to-day stands
fair and square before the public He is ready and
able TO make good his assertion, if Fremont win
deny, Whenwil the Republican candidate be ready :

HENRY A. WISE ON WILLARD FILLMoRR.- a null
lifying speech at Richmond, Virginia, on the goth
ultimo, Governor Wise, among many bad things,
paid deserved tribute to Willard Fillmore:
of Buchanan is not elected said Wise, "God
grant that Fillmore may be; as he is man of pa
triotism and principle take great pleasure in
testfying to his being good mani say God grant
that he may be elected if Buchanan is not"
This opinion of Mr. Fillmore, so hardly wrung
from the lips of rabid Locofoco is the one univer-
sally entertained by the conservative people Of this
Union; and it is to these principles and patriotism
so highly eulogized by Governor Wise, that Willard
Fillmore will be indebted for his election The
masses do not want for President in these troubled
times, an unfedged upstart like Fremont, nor a po-
ltical old granny like Buchanan but they want and
will have, "a man of patriotism and principle" a
Of nerve and courage who will restrain the ex-
cesses of factions in both sections of the Union.

Mr.. Yeadon of the Charleston Courier, has
recently informed the public that his associates
in that journal have in their possession letters
from Mrs. Hale, the mother of Fremont, in
which she mourned over her sons apostacy
from the Protestant Church Yet Fremont
himself denies to Gov. Colby and others that
he ever was Roman Catholic Will he, or
any Of his friends call upon Mr., Yeadon to pro-
duee the letters of ibis mother Never They
have been repeatedly challenged to call for
them, and their only answer is o sneaking 81
lence
In all the controversy which has arisen in
regard to the religious belief Of Mr. Fremont,
one point is observable and worthy to be sspe-
cially noted. Not a single person has been
found to testify that from his own knowledge,
Fremont Is Protestant All the assertions to
this effect haze 'oithout exception, proceeded
from Fremont himself Not even a.member

been found bold enough or base enough 10 de-

testant
This to sayf1s least is little singular be-
cause hundreds Of Witnesses can be produced
to testify that heahas, outwardly at least con-
formed to the usages Of the Romish Church
that he was married by Rouish priest &C.,
&c. But no one has yet been found to assert
that he was ever regarded as Protestant since
he attained the age Of maturity. II he did
profess to be Protestant while resident Of
Washington, St Louis, or California, why can
he not summon one respectable witness, male
| or female, TO substantiate it2
