Progress of the Peoples Cause.-The
mont and Dayton

The Boston Journal of last evening, says it is
enabled to state positively that a Fremont and
Dayton meeting will be held in Faneuil Hall on
Friday evening next, under the auspices of the
Wings of Boston, who remain true to their past
principles. The arrangements are not yet iuIiy
completed, but several distinguished and lnnuen-
tial Wings are expected to take part IN the meet
ing, and we have no doubt that it will be salts
factory demonstration of the sentiments of the
Wings of Massachusetts.
PENNSYLVANIA is the great battle ground in
the coming Presidential contest, all the other free
States. except that and California, being pretty
certain for Fremont. But even there it is appa-
rent that the confidence of the Buchananites is
fast waning, and that they getting satisfied
that the old Keystone will repudiate her own
'chosen son, and cast her electoral vote for the
Peoples nominees The New York Eoening
Post says:
I'VE have the most cheering news from
western and northern Pennsylvania the re-
action is almost as great as that of 1910 and
lS4S. Even State pride win not allow some
of "old Bucks" personal friends to vote for
him, upon the platform he runs upon-the
extension of human slavery"
Among the most favorable Indications is the
coming out of old Simon Cameron for Fremont
andDayton. Gen. Cameron has been democrat
of long standing in Pennsylvania, latterly an
American, and but few years since was demo-
cratic United States Senator from that State
1t is stated that Cameron is the best canvasser in
the State, and his revolt from the pro-slayery
ranks will reduce their strength in Pennsylvania
thousands of votes. The voice of this veteran,
! raised for Fremont and Freedom, will send
tl;n ti.4UUSl the ,.ealts or young democrats of
the Key Stone State, whose slres have walked
and acted by his counses in the days which are
gone.
The New York Courier and Enquirer furnishes
the following extract of letter from Lancaster
city -
"Delaware county, last year, gave major
ity for the democratic ticket. This was ow-
ing to the temperance movement in part, but
chiefly to the opposition to know nothingism.
Our friends there are now fighting on the
platform, and they will carry the county by
eight hundred majority for Fremont That
is the opinion of careful and prudent men in
the county. Chester county is large one,
and gave majority for the wings ranging
from 600 10 1000. Now, let me say, and
you may most confidently rely upon it, it will
give not less than 1900 and it may reach
2000 majority for Fremont. Lancaster eoull-
ty is the home of Mr.. Buchanan. His farm,
where he resides, is one mile from this place.
One month ago, his chance for carrying this
county was good; not so now, for he is losing
votes every day. He will receive the vote Of
some wings, on personal grounds but more
democrats in Lancaster will vote for Fremont,
than you can find wings to vote for Buchan-
an. Fremont will lead him 5000 votes in the
county, and if an arrangement can be made
to unite the opposition, Buchanan will be
beaten 5000 votes in his own county. Our
friends are all at work, with a a0W to sue
ceed'
To show the unanimity with which the friends
of Fremont and Freedom enter into the contest
in Pennsylvania, we quote the following from the
Pittsburgh Gazette
sin Pennsylvania every newspaper that
has run up Fremonts name has put up
Dayton's with it, We have now before us a
list Of over forty papers in Pennsylvania, all
of which fly the Fremont and Dayton flag

"During the last week we have conversed
county, and from the information we have re-
ceived we have no hesitation in saying that
Fremont will carry the county by large ma.
jority. Among the opposition to the pro-
slavery democracy we hear Of no dissatisfac-
ton at the nomination but on the other hand
we have heard of many democrats who have
declared themselves for Fremont
The unfortunate difference about the Vice
Presidency, which has created some feeling in
Massachusetts, but which we are confident will
soon subside, appears to have caused and will
cause no disruption of harmonious feeling or ac-
ton among the Fremont men in Pennsylvania
The Pittsburg Commercial Journal, whose editor
was member of tbe-New York American Con-
vention that nominated Fremont anG Johnston,
says there will be but one Fremont electoral ticket
run there. We quote from that Journal -
"Recent manifestations place the vote of
Pennsylvania beyond doubt for Fremont
Last year, when the Democrats elected Ar
mold Plumer Canal Commissioner in Penn

minority. The opposition were then split up
INTO three parties-this year they are united.

Tor Fillmore the opposition will poll solid
vote for Fremont. Although the Americans
will adhere to Johnston as their candidate for
VICE President, there will be but one electoral
ticket in Pennsylvania for Fremont. We as
sertthat with entire confidence and that re-
suit assured, 1t needs no prophet TO foresee the
defeat OF Buchanan in Pennsylvania. We
have everything in the prospect to animate and
encourage us, and let our efforts and zeal be
equal to the momentous issue staked upon the
contest"
New YoRK.-A large Republican meeting was
held, last week, in Ulster county, N. Y, at
Kingston. R. A. Chpp ESQ., was the presiding
oiicer-sn old Democrat. The Kingston Journal
In its report of the meeting, says -
Upon taking the Chair, Mr.. Chipp was
greeted with most enthusiastic ard dealening
applause. After the audience became q uiet,
Mr.. Z. proceeded TO address his fellow cit-
zens in strain of most impassionate elo.
quence-giyIng his reasons for adhering to
freedom, and his objections to the pro-slavery
Cincinnati platform and candidates. When
he declared his fixed purpose to support John
Charles Fremont, there was another bust of
applause, which sounded very much like the
old war cry OF the true Democracy"
oHlo.-The CiIcleville (ohio) Herald gives an
account of Buchanan meeting held in WASH
ington village, at which an old citizen, Mr.. L. d.
Willard, was called upon to make speech. The
