Are the friends of the Union and Constitu-
ton in Little Cambria" performing their
duty, their whole duty, in the present cam
paign? The time for action has arrived. =
:" "Now's the day and now's the hour" We
therefore, sincerely invoke, every true patriot i
within the limits of the County, to at once |
buckle on his armor for the contest, if he has
not done 80 already, and battle manfully for
the right, until the glorious banner, inscribed
with the names of Buchanan and Breckin-
ridge floats in triumph. Buchanan can, and
will, carry this County by one thousand of a
majority, if his friends in the county SO will
it
After reviewing the position, principles and
objects of the three different parties, that have
now their candidates for the Presidency and
Vice Presidency in the field, we thiuk no true
patriot can hesitate with regard to the course
which it is his duty to pursue Every hon
est impulse of his heart must tell him, that
James Buchanan. is the only candidate in the
| field for the Presidency, that stands on
thoroughly national platform. and to whose
charge the destinies of this mighty Republic,
can be safely entrusted. Z"
What are the principles of the Black Re
publicans? Opposition to the principle of
popular sovereignty; Opposition to the right
of the people of the territories to regulate
their own affairs, and adopt such constitu-
ton as they may deem best calculated to pro-
mote their happiness, when applying for ad-

ding with the domestic institutions of the
southern States The charge OF sectionalism,
which if true must rerder them odious to

against the southern states of the confedera-
cy Slavery is the harp of thousand
strings" on which they are constantly play
ing. without ever stopping, even for mo-
mcnt, to calculate the blessings of that union,
which they are laboring to destroy. Actuated

sres, who fought side by side, and shoulder
to shoulder, in a common cause; the holy
cause of American Independence.
The g Niger worshipping proclirities
of Black Republieanism, are well illustrated
by the following extract, from article which
recently appeared in the True American" !"
a Fremont organ published in Erie county in
this State:
s'This twaddle about the Union and its
preservation is too silly and sickening for
any good effect. We think that the liberty of
a single Stare is north all the Unions God S
untrerse can hold"
So, according to the teachings of this Apos-
tie of Black Republicanism, the Union of the
States. cemented by the blood of American
freemen. which flowed at Bunkerhill, Sarato-
ga, Brandywine, Trenton, Eutaw and York
town, during the struggle that tried the
souls of men," placed firm and equitable
basis. by the labors of Washington, Madison,
Franklin, and kindred spirits, and which has
made us great, free and happy people. is
nothing when compared with the liberty Of
single slave" True, the dissolution of The
union would ring the death kpell OF the las
free government on earth. true, anarchy and
confusion would reign triumphant over the
t land, but all these things are as nothing, wher
compared with =" the liberty of a single slave :
t better that the Union should be torn into
thousand fragments, than that the principle
of g false philanthropy" should not be car
ried out.
Freemen of Cambria, are you prepared t
o sanction the dangerous, the reasonable, th
o fanatical principles of Black Repubicanism
IS If you are not, then your course is plail
S one. Give your votes and influence to Jane
Buchanan, the statesman and pure patriot

: flag, and keeps step to the music of tn
Uniou.'
