D 1t is becoming more and more appa.
rent every day, says the Florence Democrat,
that the Democracy nominated the wrong
MAN to catch the votes Of the Oldline Wings,
an object they are exceedingly anxious to
compass. The Wings still love the memory
of Henry Clay with an affection which the
lapse of time cannot weaken; and they are not
oGlivious of the fact, that James Buchanan
was for years the bitter, ungenerous enemy
and vial traducer Of that noble and gifted
man and was an accessory to the damning at.
tempt to fix upon him the charge Of bargain
and corruption. The Old.ine Wings never
lose sight Of this dark spot upon the record
of james Buchanan. They will never ex.
tend their suffrages TO the slanderers of him
whom they most loved in life and cherish
most in death. Bid them forget the name
of Henry Ciay-bid them forget his genius
and his worth-bid them forget his more
than patriotic devotion to his countrywide
them desecrate the halowed spot where the
old hero sleeps, and scatter his sacred dust
to the winds,-but In the name of all that
patriots reverence, ask them not to outrage
the memory Of the slandered dead by sing.
ing hosannahs to the living slnnderer!

TTIB "OLD CLAY wHIG."


Capt. James Williams avows himself, in the
Union and American of Saturday, the author
Of the articles from an "Old Line whig."--
He confesaes that he rejected the nomination
of Gen. Scott in 1852, and supported Mr..
Fillmore. Why did he pursue this coursei--
In letter to the Nashville American, dated
the 9th october. 1852, he gives the reasons.
He believed that the nomination Of Gen.
Scott was an "unhoiy bargain" between the
"Whig and Abolition parties" and he de.
clared-
"IpiU never consent for the sake Of a party
triumph to the in,noidtion of such men as Nil.
lard Fillmore and Daniel Webster, Che latter
now alas beyond the reach Of our ingratitude J
phose onin crime consisted in the patriotic zeal
Nth which Ueg molly breasted the storm of ia.
ndticism rhieh threatened the overthrow Of our
institutions-in cuybisg their iicentious assaults
upon the Constitutional rights IF the Soaih"
This was patriotic languages It was a
tribute to Mr.. Fillmore that was justly due
him. He had "nobly breasted the storm Of
fanaticism" and curbed 'licentious assault
upon the constitutional rights of the South"
and Capt. Williams grateful language found
a response in thousands of manly bosoms.-
Now, we would like to know what Mr.. Fill.
more has since done to make him unworthy
of trust as protector of the Unconstitutional
rights Of the South" He stands to day upon
the solid platform upon which he stood in
1852, when Capt. Williams declared he would
not consent to immediate hun. Yet Capt.
Williams is now opposed to him, and makes
an exhibition of bis own consistency by
bringing up in judgment against Mr.. F. the
old Erie letter, which he was tried upon and
acquitted in ls4s. and which his admnistra.
tion forever expunged from his record Hav.
ing supported Mr.. Fillmore in lS4S, and again
in 1852, Capt. Williams is the last man that
ought to drag from the sewer of political par.
tisauism, records which have long since been
thrown aside by all fair dealing men as una.
valuable weapons. If he treats distinguish.
ed statesman, whom he has warmly com.
mended and supported for his protection Of
Southern rights, with such rank injustice,
how can he hope to impress the people Of
Tennessee. Old Line Wings particularly, with
a sense Of his candor and fairnessi For our
part, we would prefer to take Mr.. Fillmore

land, Armstrong, Clarion, Venango, Butler,
Mercer, Crawford, Warren, Mexican, Porter,
Bradford, Susquehanna and I'ioga counties.
1t was by means of these counties that he
carried the State. In 1856 nearly oil these

Buchanan, and the few that will not do so
will be able to give but nominal majorites
for him."

R-An Albany correspondent Of the Bal
timore Patriot says:

eB An Albany correspondent OF the Bal
timore Patriot says:
"Millard Fillmore is the very impersona.
ton of good health and vivacity. He is
above six feet in height, square built, some.
what corpuent, with pretty full face, md
highly intellectual countenance; and the
brown complexion which the atmosphere o:
the ocean has given him renders him, phys.
icaliy and intellectually, rare and noble
specimen of humanity. Certainly no man in
the United States than does Willard Fillmore.
"Ihe most amusing incident that trans.
pired in connection with Mr.. Fillmore's TEN.
porary sojourn in our midst was his meeting
with Prince John Van Buren,. 1t took place
on the platform at the capitol, while Mr..
Fillmore was shaking hands with the i'm
mence crowd there assembled. The Prince
took his regular turn in the crowd as they
passed by the distinguished statesman, and
when he came up and took Mr.. Fillmore by
the hand, Tremendous shout went up from
the multitude Seine cried out at the top of
their voices, "Giv him the grip" while 70.
bust American occupied himself by patlng
John on the back and asking him to repent.
Mr.. Fillmore laughed heartily during the en-.
tire ceremony, which lasted some minutes,
while the Prince preserved the greatest de-
gree of dignity, and finally left the platform,
apparently pretty well satisfied that he had
strayed into the wrong crowd.
"The prospects of Mr.. Fillmore in this
State are daily growing brighter, and you
may depend upon it that the Empire State will
render n most glorious account of herself on
the 4th day of November next. The people
are already alive to the Importance OF the &c.
cason, and it is astonishing to witness daily
the scores of Old Line Democrats that arc
wheeling into the Aa,ericrn ranks"

THAT DROP OF DEMOCRATIC BLOOD.

THAT DROP OF DEMOCRATIC BLOOD.
We have just seen rc-published, a letter
written by Mr.. Buchanan 10 February, 1888,
to the editors Of the Philadelphia Inquirer, In
which he denies the story in relation to the
"drop Of Democratic blood" In tho folio wing
emphatic language:
VI nosc pronounce the stale Islander 10 be
utterly and absolutely false, no matter from
phdi source Il may hare proceeded, or shall
proceed. never did, upon nIfy OCCASION,
public or private, whether at the court no use
in Lancaster, or elsewhere, declare that, aif |
knew had n drop of Democratic blood in
my veins, would let it out" or any words to
that effect. This ridiculous story is withom
a shado'o Of foundation"
This is the first that we have ever seen of
this denial-or any authorised denial of the
story, to which we never assigned any i'm.
IS portance: for his ultra federalism was abun.
dainty established, upon the record, which
Mr. D. could not deny. Whether, therefore,
he ever uttered these precise words or not, is
matter of no consequence, for his 4th of
July Grafton and his Federal circular nbun.
dainty establish that II was the sentiment of
his heart.
The Washington Organ, however, gives
the following version OF the story, and cha.
lenges a denial Of It.
We will now state the facts in relation to
this matter.
When Mr.. Buchanan had completed his
legal studies, and been admitted to the bar of
Lancaster county, he gave an entertainment
to his friends. In the course Of the evening,
gentleman inquired of Nj. Buchanan where
he intended 10 establish himself! Mr.. B. re-.
piled that lie had not determined. Some one
suggested that he should establish himself in
place which he mentioned. Mr. b. replied
that that place twas too Democratic" Judge
r. then remarked, "why, Buchanan, you ought
to turn Democrat, and then you will succeed"
Mr.. Buchanan immediately replied, "if
thought had drop of Democratic blood in
my veins, would open them and let it out"
This is correct version of this celebrated
affair, and We challenge the Union or any
friend Of Mr.. Buchanan to contradict it.
