 0Ir But if it (the whis party) is to be merg- ed into a coutemptible abolition party, aud fl abotionisn is to be ensra!ted upon the whig creed, from that moment reuounce the party, al4l cease to be a whig. l will go yet a sel further: If am alive, will give my humble support to that man for the Presidency who TO WHATEVER PARTY HE MAY BELONG, IS not contaminated by lanatlcism, rather than to one who, crying out all the time he is wbig, main tainS doctrines utterly subvcrsve Ot the con- sttuton and the Union.-IIENRY CLAY.
 0CF"If know myself 1 am a politician neither of the East, nor of the West, of the North nor of the Soutr-I therefore shall for ever avoid any expressions, the direct tendency of which must be to create sectional jealousies sectional divisions, and at length disunion, that worst of all political calamities. ."-JAMEs BUCH AVIAN.
 or From my soul I respect the aborins man. Labor is the foundation of the wealth o every country; and the free aborers of the nortl
  intelligence. Heaven forbid that should dc them wrong. Of all the countries on the eartl we ought to have the most consideration for tht laborng man.-JAMEs BUCHANAN.
 Or" Should be placed in the executive chair, shall use my best exertionS to cultivat, peace and friendship with all nations, believing this to be our HIGHEST POLICY, as well as ou most IMPERATIVE DUTY."-JAMEs BUCHANAN
 Ct}-" Disunion is a word which ought not tC be brcathed amongst us even in whisper. Th word ought to be considered one of direful omen and our children should be taught that it is sa crege to pronounce it."-JAMEs BUCHANAN
 O5-" If could have entertained the slight est apprehension that the constitution framed at the convention, where 1 had the honor t preside might possible endanger the relglou rights of any ecclesastical society, certainly would never have affixed my signature to it and if 1 could conceive that the general go vernment mi ght EVER be administered a to render the liberty of conscience insecure, beg you will be persuaded that no one woul, be more Jealous than myself to establish, effec tualv, barriers against the horrors of spiritua tyranny, and every species of religious perse cution-for, you doubtless remember, hay often expressed my sentiments that any ma conducting himself as good citizen and bein accountable to GoD alone for his RELIGIoU OPINIONS, ought to be protected in worshppin the Deity according to the dictates of his owl sonscience."- AsHINGToN.

FORCING THEM UP TO THE MARK.-Our Fill more CO., temporarics in this city, who are per petually harping upon squatter sovereignty, would confer an especial favor upon us and the public generally, by defining what they mean by the words Squatter Sovereignty"
 They will confer another favor which would throw a flood of light on the momentous dis cussions: OI5- What ts Fllnsores opinion about the right of Congress to legislate on the subject of slavery n the territories prior to their transor naation into States
 Brother Clarke, who sees the embarrassment of his candidate clearly enough on this subject, might edify us extremely on this point.
 Dare any of the advocates of MT. Fillmore deny that he comedies to Congress the right to legislate away the rights of the south, so far as the carrying and holding slaves in the territo- ries Is concerned?
 Another question. Between the advocate ol squatter sovereignty and the advocate of the right of Congress to legisate upon the subject of slavery in the territories, which ought to be preferred?
 Come, gentlemen, hold up your heads-loob the honest questions in the face with an opel eye and answer us.
 These questions are pithy--short--per pertinent Give us a little light upon them.-Mobile Re- QaSter.

 CHEERING NEWS FROM OHIo.- We have just had an interview with a gentleman who has recently travelled extensively in Ohio, and who has had the best possible opportunity of judging of the State of public opinion there in relation to the Presidential contest. He says that our democratic friends are in the highest spirit in every part of the State. He attended the meeting of the democratic State commit tee, and none of the members present entertan- ed any doubt but that the democrats would car ry the State for the Cincinnati nominees. Gov. Medill, Col. Todd and the Hon. William Allen, each host in himself, will address the people in all parts of the State. It is contemplated to form Buchanan club in every township, to hold general mass meetings in every county, and conventions or mass meetings in ten of the largest cities in the Buckeye State.

 I openly declare, in the face of the Senate and the world, not only that no such doctrines were ever avowed by me, but that these re- marks of the Senator (John Davis, charging MT. B. of wishing to lower wages) are palpable misrepresentatons both of the letter and spirit of my speech.-JAMEs BUCHANAN.
 My charge against him (Mr. Davis,) was, that he had asserted that was in favor of reducing the wages of labor have fixed upon him the charge of having, throughout his whole pub lished speech, misrepreSented my arguments. This charge will stick to him as close as the ..poisoned shirt of Nessus. He will never be 5able to relieve himself from it-JAMEs BUCH- AVIAN.

 While we would have preferred that the prize had been drawn in our own State, still it gives us pleasure to congratulate sister State dn such good fortune for one of her citizens.
 There is no humbug as regards this sale as is too often the case with prizes being sold in other lotteries, for we can vouch for the truth af it.--AAanta Republican and Discipline.

Brave Men.

| Why does not the north send brave men to Congress? The reason is, no brave man can be an abolition leader. It takes skulking cow ard to make traitor and a successful pilferer of others rights. We know our northern brethren are brave in a good cause, none are more so, but
 "Conscience makes coward. of us all''
 How ridiculous it looks to see a parcel of petticoated men representing the great States north and east go trotting along loaded down with revolvers and walking canes, which are as harmless as the wooden sword worn by court testers! What silly appearance does not Se- nator Wilson make with his rifle in hand, dis gulsed as walking cane, and his pockets show Ing unnistakable signs of being well loaded with heavy metal! This man has earned the contempt of decent persons, and the soubroquet of "Rihe Wilson" Poor silly old women! no one will condescend to hurt them in any maH- ner, if they do not, by their abusive tongues, bring on themselves compelled notice. When Massachusetts was represented by brave men, there was never any trouble in Congress-no pistols, nor bowie-knives, nor bludgeons were ever called into requistion by the Websters, the Evcretts and others. And why? Because the braUe gre alaooys courteous. It is only towards that. like CUTS, bark and run, and run and bark Send brave men to Congress if you want peace. Send democrats-they are always brave be- cause they are honest.-N <. Day Book ]
 SPEECH OF A NEW MEXICAN IN CONGRESS. The Hon. Miguel A. Otero, in whose favor the contested seat in the House of Representa- tives as delegate from New Mexico, was de- cldcd few days ago, concluded a speech in l his own behalf in the followino elOnurut strain:
 l plant my hopes upon no party platform seek aid from no party sources; rest my claim upon its merits--upon truth, upon justice, and 1 upon that sentiment which will respect the sovereign will of New Mexico, whose son am; | for am a native there, and to the manor born. l come here, not a successful adventurer from the restless waters of political speculation; l come because my people sent me. 1 shall only return to them when you reject me But whatever your action may be, 1 shall never cease to believe and promulgate the sentiments 1 1 have always entertained, that the brightest and happiest day that ever dawned upon New i Mexico was that on which she was annexed to this Union. And 1 here, as have there con- graduate her most heartily upon the happy event; and hope that she wheeling in the line of her adopted sister territories, and following in the train of this bright constellation of States shall by strict observance of the con- stltuton, by proper devotion to the principl of liberty by keeping step to the music of the Union, present, in the future of America, no mean glory, or cause her sister States to blush, either for her want of fidelity to the bond of Union, or the patriotism and virtue that makes you one and indissoluble.

Obituary,


 Died, in this city, August 18th, 1856, Mrs. SUsANNAH B., consort of William Wooford, and daughter of Capt. John Jones' of Obion county, Tennessee; aged nineteen years.
 The deceased was born in Killabeg, Donegal county, Ireland, from whence she emigrated with her father in the early part of l845. She was married October 17th, 1855, and ere the year has closed, in which her eminent virtues as an affectionatc ard devoted wife have been so fully displayed, and so entirely appreciated in the heart of him who cherished her, she has been gathered to that home which promises a rest to the good and faithful Throughout her life, which has been thus early terminated, she has been valued by relatives and friends for the rare sweetness of her disposition and the deep piety of her nature In childhood and woman hood she has been a modest but shining ex- ample of the trusting, gentle virtues which per feet the character of woman, and could she have been spared to fulfil her new made mis- sion of mother we doubt not that her quiet and profound excellence would have here inspired all that reverential tenderness, which has ac- companied every other position she graced while on earth. She died in happy reliance on her Savior's redeeming love, and to her dcsolate husband and relatives, and the uncon- scious infant, which she was permitted to en- brace with all mothers holy love, she has bequeathed memory pure and blameless, as one whose "prce is far above rubes."
