READ THE TRUTH.


Below will be found an editorial, which
we take from the Pittsburg Post, one Of
the leading democratic papers of the
North, and which is recognised as speak
ing the sentiments of Mr.. Buchanan
friends. We copy it entire, to show the
utter falsity of some statements that
Fillmore journals and partisans are con-
stantly making here, as to Mr.. Buchan-
ans views of slavery. The gallant De-
mocracy of the North are now fighting
the battles of the South, and to our
shame be it said some of our presses
and people are engaged in slandering
Buchanan and the Northern Democracy,
while asking that Maryland shall dis
grace herself by abandoning the South
to throw away her vote on Fillmore.
Read what the Post says: -
"The Black Republican rascals," as
the New York Herald calls them, are
busy representing the South as having a
great advantage over the North in cOnse-
quence of the tbree-fifths representation
of the slaves in our national legislature.
The Democrats have not hitherto consid-
cred this lie worth answering, but now,
just for the sake of showing the falsity
of nearly all the stories, we will show
that the South loses instead Of gaining
by that arrangement of the representa-
ton. The negro party will not of course
deny that the negroes are human beings,
and part of the population Of State,
and are counted as such in the census
tables. We quote, then, from an ex-
change (thc Plaindealer) to show that
the South loses instead Of gaining by the
three fifths rule.
There is a great misapprehension in
the North about the three-ffths repre-
sentation of the slaves of the South
The South loses by The three-ffths
representation twelve Congressman; be-
cause, in making up the inhabitants of
the South for representation, two-ffths
of the slaves are thrown out. It takes
90, 713 inhabitants, North and South, TO
make Congressman. In the North,
whites, blacks, women, children, idiots
AL who are persons are counted. In
the South, all are counted, except two
fifths Of the slaves. Thus two-ffths are
a dead loss to the South in the count.
Suppose stakeholder has 100 slaves /;
does he cast 81 votes? One for himself
and go for his 100 slaves? Manifestly,
no. He gives but one vote. But in
making up the basis Of Congressional
representations 100 slaves count six
ty persons. Thus the South loses by
this clause Of the Constitution.
A man in the South may own one
hundred or one thousand slaves--he goes
to the polls and gives his vote on one
side-another, as poor as "Job's turkey"
if you please, differing from him in po-
litieal sentiment, votes on the other side,
and kills the first vote as effectually as
he does in any Northern State
And in regard to the extension Of
slavery, few facts will show the con-
slant falsehood Of the negro Republican
journals and orators. We quote from
the same paper:
The Republican leaders and editors
are constantly harpiug upon what they

The Fusion IN PENNSYLVANIA. The
know-nethings and black republicans of
Pennsylvania appear to understand each
other neutrality-suspicious. to the Demo-
cratic party is the bond Of union. Some
of their papers carry the names of both
Fremont and Fillmore at their mast head,
and some Of their public speakers address
both know-nothing and black republican
gatherings, one day shouting for Fillmore
and the next for Fremont. We learn
from the Harrisburg Union, that five or
six of those placed on the Fillmore cleo
toral ticket of the State are open friends
of Fremont. The same paper says that
at meeting Of the Fillmore and Donel-
sou club of Maytown, Lancaster, on the
18th of August, Mr.. VIM. d. Book, Of
Western Pennsylvania, was called upon
to address them, which he did, and in
the course of his remarks said, "that
the constitutions Of the Fillmore and
Donelson clubs in Pittsburg and Ale
ghany cities, and throughout the county,
contain clause which pledges its sign
ers TO support Fremont, in case Fillmore
should be considered unavailable"
The really nationaL wings and know
nothings are beginning to understand the
trick, and as matter Of course many are
leaving the corrupt managers. b. +.
Myers, Esq, member of the Somerset
bar, gentleman who had up to within
the last few weeks acted with the know
nothing party, addressed a democratic
meeting in Bedford last week, and in the
course of his remarks said, that when he
fully satisfied himself that the leaders Of
the Fillmore party had secretly traded
him off for Fremont, he determined TO
go for james Buchanan and the demo-
cratic party. Hundreds will follow his
example.

| had dream, which was not all dream:
The Union was dissolved and all our stars
Did wander darkling DER a bloody field,
Rayess and painless; and our hapless land
Swung blind and maddened in the roar O
factions.
Morn came and went, and came-and brough
no hope,
And men forgot their passions, in the dread
OF this, their desolation; and all hearts
Were chilled into a selfish prayer for life.
The brows of men in the mute despair,
Wore an unearthly aspect, as by fits
The flashes fell upon them; some lay down
And held their eyes and wept; and some die
rest
Their chins upon their clenched hands, and
smiled;
And others hurried to and fro. and fed
Their funeral fires with fuel and looked IN
With mad disquietude on the duh sky
The pail Of n past world; and then again
With curses cast them down upon the dust
And CRASHED their teeth and howled.
And 'rdr, 'chich, for moment acds no more,
Did gtm himself again a meal was bought
With blood, and each safe silently apart,
Gorging himself in gloom; no Lore 'oaS left,
And there acas bit one fear, and that pas death.
Immediate and inglorious; and the pang
OF famine fed upon all entrals; men
Died, and their bones were tombless as then

They had been foes they met beside
The dying embers Of an altar place
Where had been heaped a mass of holy things
For an unholy usage: they raled up
And shivering scraped with their cold skeleton
hands,
The feeble ashes, and their feeble breath
Blew for n little life; and made a fame
Which was mockery; then they lifted up
Their eyes as it grew lighter, and behold
Each others aspects-saw, and shreked, and

dropped,
They slept on the abyss without surge.

Ev The Black Republicans made

E1- The Black Republicans made a
demonstration near Baltimore city, on
Monday last. 1t appears that a party
Of the simon-pure "woolly heads" held
a picnic near the city on that day, and
on their return assaulted two natives Of
Ireland, whom they met on the road,
and beat several other white men thai
came to their assistance. Seeing po-
litical liberty pole, erected by the Dem
ocrats of that vicinity, they gave three
cheers for Fremont, and Immediately
pulled the pole down, and stamped upon
the flag. Subsequently seventeen Of tho
party were arrested and held 10 bail.

are pleased to term the ''horriblc exten.
sion of slavery" which has occurred
since the organization of our govern
ment, Let us look at the facts. Wher
our Constitution was adopted the Unior
consisted of twelve slave States and one
free State. Now we have fifteen slav,
States aud sixteen free ones. The adj
vance of freedom has been as fifteen t,
three, or five to one, as compared to sla
very.
A further fact can be shown, saws tn,
Oramel Era, that we have less amour
of slave territory-States and all O
course-than we had when the old con
feGcrate government was organized, not
withstanding the vast increase of ON
territorial dimensions; and, in the face
of all this, men, pretending to be honest
and intelligent, go around the country
mouthing about the aggresslons of slave.
ry, when they well know, but are moi
honest enough to admit that by no act
Legislative or otherwise, on the part Of
this government, has slavery been ex-
tended to free territory, but on the con-
trary, territory acquired as slave has
been made free by act of the people. -
The relative dimensions of the slave and
free territories, compared with the period
of the adoption of the Constitution. will
show an overwhelming preponderance in
favor of the latter.
The South has never been an importer
of slaves.
The North has been.
The South protested against the in
PRODUCTION of slavery, and passed laws
prohibiting it, which were vetoed by
royalty,
The South petitioned and remonstra-
ted with the royal authority against the
injustice and injury of slavery
When the North desired to get rid of
slavery, it had the means of doing so, and
at the same time of realizing the full
value of every slave and of getting them
without trouble or expense beyond their
borders.
The North has never yielded an acre
to slavery. The South has yielded her
indubitable rights to an extent of terri
tory sufficient to make fifty free States
larger than Massachusetts,, and without
any equivalent.
The South had constantly the subject
of slavery under discussion, its disad-
vantages and mode of extinction.
The difficulties with which the South
had and has to contend, and which the
North had not, are as follows:
First, The South cannot receive paw
ment for her slaves as the North did.
This single item involves the loss to
the South of over two thousand millions
of dollars, which they would receive if
they had market for them outside of
their limits.
This fact alone should cause the exer-
else of the utmost charity in the iudg-
ment of the North, who enjoy the pro-
ceeds of their emancipation.
Again: An immense difficulty is, how
shall the South, simultaneously with the
abolition of slavery, get rid of the ne
groes from their midst as did the North :?
This, too, is mountain of difficulty,
and every one knows its solution is beset
with difficulties, so that the wisest and
best of men are in painful anxiety to
solve it nronerlY.
