From the Minersa Journal, (until recently

crat. ana the Democratic candidate Tor Con-
gress two years ago in the Lebanon district,
when his personal popularity was shown by
his carrying that county by considerable
majority, has declared his determination to
support Fremont. His reasons are, that the
Buchanan men had departed from the an
cient faith and policy of the Democratic
party, leaving those who consistently adhere
to the true Democratic principles, no o:her
resort than the support of Mr.. Fremont
who adhered to the true efersonian princi-
Piles:
To the Black Democracy, this would seem
as if the people of the old Key Stone State
were intending to do something: This is
something after the fashion of saying to the
slavery extension faction of the other
Northern States, if potatoes are to be dug,
briag them on.
From the same Journal Of August 23d, we

/ MONTGOMERY CoUNTY.-A Fremont and
Dayton ratification meeting was held in Nor
ristown on Wednesday evening. The thou
sands that were in attendance were address,
ed by Senators Trumbull, Hon. A. Burlin-
game and others. A Union ticket has been
nominated, headed by D. Ii. Mulvany, of
Norristown, for Congress. a..f.r. ~
We are glad of it. Such men as Trum-
bull, of Illinois, can PROFOUND the great
questions involved in the right way; and
Burlingame is not the man after whom the
Hounds are willing to trail.
Hark, Pennsylvania again! The same paper
says:
DANvILLE IN THE ZELDA Fremont
Club was formed in Danviile on Tuesday of
last week. Eighty persons, t. majority of
them old and prominent Democrats, enroll
ed their names as members on the first
first evening. This is among the most strik-
ing of the many signs of the times, and
proves that the opposition to the PRESENT ad-
ministration and the trucking Cincinnati
platform, have but to exert themselves man
fully to carry this stale against Buchanan in
November by large majority. We urge
upon the opposition union, not only upon the
state ticket, but union to make certain the
defeat of " Ten Cent Jimmy "-the aristo-
cratic enemy of the working man.
Next comes the glad news that our friends
in the Quaker City are moving in the reform
Of the day for Fremont and freedom
IMMENSE Fremont AND DAYTON Mass
MEETING IN PHILADELPHIA.-The feeling
for Fremont and freedom is growing rapidly
in Philadelphia. Accessions to the ranks
are being made daily. The most prominent
citizens have declared themselves IN favor of
the principles expressed in the Republican
platform, and the masses are rapidly falling
into line for the candidates of the people.
On Tuesday evening last, large mass meet
ing of the friends of Fremont and Dayton
was held in that city at National Hall. The
immense saloon was crowded, and hundreds
more were keeps away by the shortness of the
notice of the change from independence
Square. William D. Lewis, Esq, presided,
and speeches were delivered by Senators
,Collamer and Trulnbull and the Hon. Arson
Burlingame. The latter was received with
a tremendous outburst of applause. A ST.
lmiIar storm OF cheering greeted resolution
tendorsing the action of the House ON the
I Army Appropriation Bill. The meeting is
described as having been one of the most en-
thusiast tic and spirited eyer held in Philadel-
pllia. 4,.. -.as.e ~-...
And could it be otherwise than the noble
city founded by the liberty rloying William
Penn, the apostle of liberty, should do less
than place herself right upon the record
4 Would it not be humiliat ny to the friends o!
freedom to find the model city Of Philadel-
phia, by her vote, sanction Border Ruffian
outrages in Kansas? The right in the ques-
ton at issue to the Industrial classes, free,
dignified labor, and to humanity is para
mount and above all other issues hitherto
presented to the American people since the
formation of our government.
The we'll known Caleb Lyon, of Lyondale,
N. Y is out for Fremont in a beautiful let
ter. 1t is brief, but contains the truth of a
volume. He says I" In Europe 1 was proud,
as an American, of Col. Fremont, compli-
mented as he was by the admiration of Hum
boldt, and the distinguished praise of Arago.
He, in truth, unites Phoenician love of ad-
venture to Greek patriotism, and Roman
courage whose country's glory has been his
greatest, his chefest and his only aim.
Whether we view him mid the miasma of
Salt Lake marshes or the perils of the Sier-
ra Nevada SHOWS ; battling under the bear
flag against defeated Castro, or treating sin
gly, surrounded by hostile savages the cap
tive Of an army cohort, or the tenant of a
British prison, in each position he has ex-
hibited patriotism that defied persecution
and conquered misfortune. In him our
country would truly realize it's high ideal of
a Chief Magistrate worthy Of its progressive
destiny"
The Richmond Wing, in order to test the
fidelity of the niger driving democracy to
the cause of the South, proposes that an
electoral ticket be framed of eight democrats
and seven Wings and Americans, to be sup
ported by all parties in Virginia, with the
distinct understanding and agreement that
the fifteen electoral votes of Virginia shall
be cast tor Mr.. Buchanan if he gets more
Northern electoral votes than Mr.. Fillmore
or for Mr.. Fillmore, if be gets more than
Mr. buchanan. a1
The Wing says the plan will insure the
vote OF Virginia TO the candidate most likely
to defeat Fremont. sw
