The true Democrat., 1856-09-23

not believe revolution solemn duty? Yov need not respond-I know your manly senti ments.
 Mr. Breckinridge, whose speech have en deavorsd to epitomze, after quoting iron Washington and others against danger of sec tional strife, concluded nearly as follows:
 Let me turn aside to indulge grateful re membrance. In their infancy and weaknes the States of Indiana and Kentucky stood sid, by side and shoulder to shoulder with eacl other-each giving and receiving the support SC much needed, and without which both nigh have struggled in vain. The sons of Kentucky though few, when you were harrassed by tn, enemy came to your aid. There is not bat tle-held on your soil which is not whitened b, their bones, nor stream which has not beer crimsoned with their blood Loud and enthu siastc cheers. Every turf you stand upon ii soldiers grave. Like noble men and true which they were, they offered up their lives ol the altar of their country-the whole country and, am faln to believe, the same love our ia thers bore the Union yet exists in the breasts ot their descendants. Let us never permit the Ohio to be the dividing line between Ou sister States, but let the music of our con cord, like that of her waters, murmur unceas. ingly.
 Mir. Breckinrdge was followed by the vete. ran democrat and statesman, General Cass. have taken fuli notes of his speech, but have not time to write them out before my next let ter, which will reach you in time for Saturday. edition.
 Owing to the immense size of the assemblaoe it was found necessary to have speeches from four different stands. From one of these ad- dresses were delivered in German Besides the speakers we have mentioned Colonel Pres ton and Col Hodge of Kentucky, Col. Carpen- ter of Illinois, J ohn Van Buren of New York and James B. Clay of Kentucky, favored the masses with addresses.
 Ot Mir. Van Burens speech, an able and brilliant one, have also taken extensive notes and will transmit them for publication, as soon as translated into readable English
 Mr. Clay's speech. am enabled to transmit you ln full, leaving you to publish it entire or condense 1t, as the cxigency of the occasion may demand
 At five o'clock the battle-ground had become paratively deserted, but we presume only to be covered by still more dense human crop tomorrow (Friday) Expect to hear again as soon as possible from BEx.
 MT. Sumner iu d Tantrnm.
 MT. Sumner has been in the mountains as lls friends say, for the purpose of recruiting his health, but as it would seem, for violating the proprletes and courtesies of life in abusing the people of our State. The following article from the Hollidaysburg Standard, will give your readers some slight idea of his move ments:
 Mr. Summer ID tue Pennsylvania Mountains-
 
 free nISgars, as we stted in our last is ot late ly has been, rusticating at the house of Dr. Jackson of Cresson. Since his arrival, what little sympathy was manifested for him in this neighborhood has entirely given way 10 feel ings of deep disgust. There is nothing the matter with him. He is hale and hearty has a good appetite, and talks politics with all the bitter vindictiveness that a Yankee fanatic can command.
 One day last week, Col. D. H. Ho6us, an od-lne whig, and J. Blair Moore, democrat of this place, and Col. J. J. Patterson, repub- licap, one of the editors of the Harrsbur. Her. gid, visited Cresson. In company with man son, they called upon Mr. Sumner, who receiv. Hofius how Mr. Ford had succeeded here-
 
 succeed very wel-that his meeting was com posed of democrats and Fillmore men-that very few Fremont men were present, in conse- quencc of there being but few in the place.
 This frank avowal irritated the gentleman with the soft brain, and he poured forth per- feet torrent of invectves against Pennsvlva. nlanS. While emptying his vlals of black re- publican wrath, he declared that the whiys and la,,,, of Il and that he should glory in seeing them brought to the block, and disposed of under the auc- Eoueer's hammer.
 This unqualified assertion of the Yankee fanatic did not fail to arouse the ndignaton ol the Pennsylvanians, and Colonel Hofius made some tart reply, which only aggravated the matter the more, and he showercd abuse ol the foulest kind upon Pennsylvanians indis- crlminately, and when the party attempted to vindlcate their State, the dignifed Yankee aboitionist cooly opened a Boston paper, and commenced reading. The party came away completely disgusted, and Colonel Hofius, who previously felt great sympathy for the man be- fore he uttered such atrocious sentiments, de. caros openly that his honor earned great many more cainlngs than he has ever received
 Since the publication of the above, an emi. nent gentleman of Greensburg has received a letter from Or. Jackson, who states that Mr. Sumner in bis recollection of the conversation, gives it as remark made by him in quotation of John Randol ph, but cannot for my life see how this makes 1t better for the ungenteman- ly Yankee, if it be the language of John Ran- dolph, he, of course, adapted it to gentlemen invited to the house of his host, and in conver- sation used it as for himself But this is fair sample of black republican argument. They denounce every body and every thing that is not of their way of thinking, and suppose b, to drive us to support the candidate of Wall street speculators. Sumner Is in the proper part of Pennsylvania to have repeated dose of the same medicine administered to him, which one would think had quieted the bilge that he pumps from dirty mind and vtiated taste; and my advice is for him to remove to the more congenial sphere of Massachusetts fanaticism, where his billingsgate and vitupera tion will have more effect, for he will find that the law-abiding people of this State have nc sympathy for backguard of any kind.
