Buc n anan.

Dame Freedom sent an invitation
To all the States of this great stion,
To meet her each by delegation,
And hold with her a consultation,
And after due deliberation,
Say who should be the man
They'd choose, from out the constellation
Other sons, 10 fill the station
Highest in this mighty nation,
So, after full deliberation,
They all joined, without hesitation,
In naming Buchanan.
BY lightning speed his nomination
Was spread all over this vast nation;
And everywhere there's EMULATION,
And shouts ofjoy and jubiation,
While cannon roar in celebration
OF the great event.
And with our cheers in appreciation,
We've shook the Hindoo combination
For they tremble with the expectation
Oftheir coming degradation,
When The voice Of This free nation
Calls "Old Buck" its President.

PROSPECTUS
For Publishing at Concord, Neao Hampshire.
A weekly Newspaper 10 be entitled,
THE DEMOCRATIC STANDARD,

DEVOTED TO POLITICS, LITERATURE, AND GENE
RAJ INTELLIGENCE.
rJNHE Subscriber will, Immediately after
i the nomination of a candidate for the office
of President OF the United States, by the National
Democratic Convention about 10 assemble at Gin
cinnati, commence the publication Of weekly
newspaper under the title above named. While
he does not propose at the present time 10 go into
full detail OF the course which his contemplated
paper will pursue, he will take This occasion TO
say that it will be devoted TO an earnest faithful,
and he trusts, efficient advocacy of Democratic
principles expounded and illustrated by those
two great fathers and apostles OF Democracy,
THOMAS JEFFERSON, and ANDREW JACKSON. The
principles and examples of thos- two illustrious
men inculcate the duty of maintaining with in
flexible fidelity the CoNsrTUrloNAL RreHTs OF
THE STATES and The SOVEREIGN AND lNALIENA BILE
RIGHTS THE PEOPLE, the corner stones OF
republican system Of government. Those
great conservative ideas will always find express
sion in the columns of the journal which the I'M
dersgned is about to establish.
IL will ais, support with zeal and fidelity all
nominations Of the Democratic party, fairly and
honorably made. While, on the other hand, il
will resolutely oppose every attempt to snbvert the
Democratic organization into mere mac hine for
the ACKNOWLEDGEMENT of individuals or factions
Under the flag of DemScracy all have equal rights
and privileges. None should be prescribed, and
none ostraciZed from the party, for refusing TO
bow 10 the dictation of selfish cliques within the
Democratic organization VINO 10 WELD III
for the promotion Of their own interests or for
The qualification of their own dlslikes and passions
In the columns of the STANDARD all interests of
the party, and all who reco- nze lis principles,
will be canddly heard, and kindly and mpartialy
treated. And, he will further add, that its tone
and language in the discussion of the principles
10 which il will be devoted, will be digni6ed and
becoming.
With such views and purposes in the conduct
of his proposed paper, the undersigned hopes for
success. He believes public sentiment in this
State now demands the establishment at the
Capital of such journal as he proposes 10 pub
lish.
The DEMOCRATIC STANDARD will be published on
a sheet of the size of the Con greg afional Jour
mar which is SO by 25 inches, and is one Of the
largest and farest papers in the State. II will be
printed on new type, and its editorial columns
will be enriched by contributions from the pens
of some of the abest writers of the Democratic
party in the State.
TERMs-s1 so in advance. 81 at the end of the
year.
u 1t is desirable that the friends of this new
enterprise should be active in procuring subscri-
,bers, whose names should be sent in soon as
possible, the paper will be commenced the first
of June.

| CHICAGO, July I've learn from Alton
that the Kansas emigrants from this city, re-
Gently driven from Leavenworth, will proceed
to their original destination via Iowa. The
Worcester Mass. company arrived here to-
day en- route for Kansas. Forty-four Worcester
men were disarmed on the steamer Sultan, near
Lexington, by two hundred Southerners in a
manner similar to the disarming of the Chicago
party. Sixty Sharpe's rifles were taken, and
the company were detained prisoners. II is
reported that company from Ottawa, Illinois,
has been treated similarly. The Missouri river
| towns are determined not to allow Northern
emigrants to enter Kansas. A letter to the st.
Louis Democrat charges Governor Price with
having sent twelve cannon and twenty-five
boxes Of muskets to Mr.. Stringfellow to assist
In the conquest of Kansas.
ST. Louis, July l.--Advices from Lawrence
of the 18th ultimo announce the arrival of five
men from Tecumseh, where they had been held
prisoners for some time, having, with others,
been captured by dragons near Ossawattomie.
They were kept chained nearly four weeks,
when they were brought before Judge Gates,
who discharged them, nothing having been
found against them. Three of the party were,
however, detained, viz: Messrs. Partridge, John
Brown, jr and Williams. The two latter were
members of the Legislature. Brown and vii,
Hams were indicted for treason, and Partridge
for conspiracy.
