The Buchanan Democracy held meet

For weeks it had been heralded, and at

but the affair was magnificent failure.

"The effect has been immense. Candid
Buchananites admit it to have been IA failure,
and to have seriously damaged the party. The
Republicans are exultant; aud no wonder!-
The great demonstration" has shown beyond
question that eastern Pennsylvania has under
gone a marvellous change. Many men in the
Buchanan ranks say now, Better to have
taken Mr.. Dallas" and the talk of withdraw
ing Mr.. Buchanan and substituting Mr.. Fill
more on the ticket is quite generally renewed.
Indeed, this move in the game is SO seriously
discussed that it behooves the Republicans to
consider its possible consequences. Should it
be determined on, it might be made without
our being prepared to meet it. PROFESSIONALLY
the Buchananites are so much disheartened by
yesterdays failure, that they are prepared for
any step, no matter how desperate. The South
ern men in the National Executive Committee
have of course fifteen votes, aud are sure OF
their States. The hope of carrying New Jer-

at their lead, is having great influence

The Herald grows Stubborn.

The Black Republican State Convention
which recently met in Syracuse, New York,
nominated John A. King, for Governor
The New York Herald had suggested other
names, but the Convention paid no regard
to its suggestions. 1t was willing to
accept the services Of the guerrilla chief,
but not TO hear his voice ia the council Of
war. This was too much for BENNETT
He pitches into the Convention right and
left, and makes a football Of its nominee
He says:

Convention at Syracuse. We denounee II As

created and invgorated the very party which
these impndent and arrogant politicians now

besides why We withhold our support from

All Honor TO John Bell.

We trust that no American or Wing or
supporter of Mr.. Fillmore, will fail to at
tend to-day the dinner and reception ten
dered to our distinguished Senator and
fellow-citizen. No man in the Union has a
stronger hold upon the hearts of the con-
sentative masses of Tennessee than John
Bell. For thirty years he has been the
exponent and representative Of this senti-
ment, and by his brilliant abilities, has
achieved reputation co-extensive with the
borders Of the Republic The nation
knows him as an honest, unSelfSh patriot,
not afraid to take position against the cur
rent of popular feeling, when his unerring
sagacity condemns the movement. The
times demand the services of such men,
and every citizens stake in the destinies of
the country requires that honor and hon.
age should be paid to those who have
shown themselves capable of rising above
the petty, contracted, sectional views, which
have become so popular, and planting them
selves upon platform for the country.
Mr.. Bell is one of these Numbers in
high position who could have gone with
him have fallen away, and are now found
battling on the side of the Democracy
stepped to the lips in the slough of Locofo-
coism. Not so John Bell. At period
when few had the foresight to descry the
dangers towards which Democratic miSrule
was drifting the country, he raised warn
ing voice. And now when these dangers
have come upon US, it is to him, and such
statesmen, that we are to look for safety.
Mr.. Bell has announced himself in favor of
the election Of Mr.. Fillmore, as the surest
safeguard which the country can have that
prudent counsels shall prevail, and sectional
ill-feeling assuaged. He has come home
to put on the harness and do battle in his
cause. Let every patriot welcome his
catrcc with a shout, and invoke the choicest
blessings on bis honored head as he goes
forth. Let the ovation today be such an
one as shall long be remembered

For the Patriot.

PULASKI, Sept. %. 1856.
MEssRs. EDIToRs:-We had the pleasure on Sat
urday evening last, of listening to young friend
Nash Ii. Burt Esq of Columbia, as he addressed
a large and respectable assembage of the people
of old Giles, at COrnersville IL the first time
that we have ever had the pleasure Of hearing Mr..
Burt, though were cognizant, from fame, of his
ability young orator. In his speech st Cor
nersvile, he came fully up to his reputation, and,
for two hours, in close compact, logical, chastely
and classcally worded address, held spell bound the
beauty and intelligence Of that "goodlie" village.
The ladies, God bless them, were out, lending by
their gracious presence and bright smiles, encour
agement to the young orator, as in burning words
OF wit, satire, whitening invective and condensed
logic, he showed up the record of James Buchs
anan in all its repusive and hideous deformity. In
fine it proud day and night for the true heart
ed Americans of Cornersville, for, during the day
Col A. ~ Looney of Maury, had addressed them
literally demolishing Major Tom. Jones OF this
place. All right in Giles. Keep the ball moving
until November next, then "Victory will sit at our
helm" Yours, CARLO.

Gen. Haskell.

The Union and american referring to
the withdrawal Of a portion Of the appoint
ments of Gen. Haskell, asks, Whats in
the wind?" The Union and american
kn0a0s that this was done in order to allow
Gen. Haskell to be present at the COnven-
ton on the 10th and 18th, for it is so
stated in the announcement. 1t also knows
that Gen. Haskell is attracting larger
audiences, and creating stronger feeling
among the people than any man now speak
ing in the Union. His audiences are Meth
er disappointed" nor "disgusted," but are
edited and electrified. This it is that pro-
vokeS such paragraphs.

his was any better than that of 100000 voters
in this State, whose conduct and character
have been irreproachsble. Hereditary honors
do not exist here, and any one in this land of
equality, standing up and claiming to De OF SUI
perior race or better blood than his neigh 5ors,
deserves their scorn and contempt. Mr.. John
A. King is as respectable as other men, but not
more So" SKA
The Herald winds up its article by pro-
posing that the mass of the Democracy
make up ticket Of their own, on which
Fremont will run for President and Parker

Democratic candidate for Governor. The
Herald has got into "bad snap"-let it
cut loose from its negro worshipping allies
as soon as possible.

The Coming EIccfIon.


In February last, the American party
met at Philadelphia and nominated Fill
more and DonelSon. Mr. Donelson prompt
ly accepted the post, but his chief was
away, storing his mind, and charging his
experience of men and governments in for
eign lands, as if he was girding himself
with moral and intellectual strength-led
by the invisible hand of Providence into
an accidental journey for the great COM
ing trial that lay in wait to test the sound
ness Of the principles of the Constitution of
his native country. His political opponents
confidently asserted that he would not &C
cept the nomination his friends, Their
mopylean band Of patriots, who had in
trusted TO his lead the lost fortunes Of their
country, trembling in the balance between
faction, fanatcism, and an unholy influence
upon the affairs Of government by alien ma
turalized, but not dendtiOnGHoed, citizens,
were ignorant of his intentions or his pur-
poses to accept or reject the post they had
confded to him. With them all was
gloom, because all was uncertainty.
In June, the ofice-ho!ders Of the great
misnamed Democratic party met in conven-
ton at Cincinnati, and nominated Buchan-
an, whose only merit in a public life of forty
years was TO have accomplished nothing for
bis country, and to have lent himself to
blast the honor of one Of her noblest sons;
and Breckenridge, whose only title to
craftsmanship was, when inspired by the
death Of the great Clay, to have pronounc-
cd a beautiful eulogium upon his life and
public services Selfdeluded by the inge-
nuity of their own demagogueism, these
jewellers in the public treasury, hoped to de-
Jude aud mislead patriotic people; and
their exultation knowing neither bounds
nor decency, was manifested 10y boastful de-
clarations which they offered always to
sustain by stakes drawn from streams which
flowed from the public revenues Miserable
men, they'reckoned without their host--they
knew not the deep-seated aud heartfelt 10y
atty and patriotism Of the people which was
so soon to rise up and cover them with
shame and confusion.
Willard Fillmore, preceded by his warm
hearted and sympathetic letter of accept
ance, arrived at New York, aud was re-
ceiVed by the whole people, in such crowds,
and with such warmth and affection, as
made his journey from the great city to his
home in Buffalo, one continuous triumphal
march. The whole country saw that il was
q voluntary tribute which the people were
Offering to the honest patriotism aud able
craftsmanship Of one whom they tried when
the fanatical storm Of 1850, copjused up by
the ruinous counsels of the democratic par
~, was threatening the overthrow Of the
Union. The heart of the people Of the
whole country beat time TO the music Of
this tribute by the citizens Of his native
State. The oflice-holders OF the democratic
party, revealing ia the hall of the Public
Treasury, heard the hum of this gathering
of the people, and they stood still, chilled
with fright, In the midst Of their orgies

Bellshazzar Of the republic 1.-THE joints OF
their loins were loose and their knees smote
one against another" Terrible has been
the wickedness of the misrule of these men,
and terrible will be their punishment by an
indignant people. What have they done
The people of sixteen free States. and ff-
teen southern States, tolerating slavery as
an Inheritance from their wise and pious an
cestry--in all numbering twenty-odd mil
lions of souls, were living in fraternal union
under the freest, wiSeSt and best govern
ment the sun ever shone on, and, in the
richest country of the world, were the hap
pest and most prosperous nation of the
earth. Were now is their fraternal love
that brotherly union that knew no latitude?
In the North, fanaticism famed into a
fame, rising up and threatening disobedi-
ence to the requirements of the Constitu-
ton; in the South, dissolution and seces-
sion openly taught in both mutual and re-
ciprocal hate, mingled with fear; and all
these dislOyal and destructive passions
meeting together in Kansas in internecne
strife, causing our kindred people to shed
each others blood, and convert the rich and
fertile plains Of that beautiful Territory in
to the clark and bloody" ground of the
white race. Such is the result of four short
years of democratic miSrule Such is the
present dangerous condition of our once
happy country.
To elect Fremont, is to ship US on a sea
Of trouble brooding swift destruction. To
continue in power the democratic party,
by electing James Buchanan, is to make
the death struggle now upon oor cOnstitu-
ton, but lingering agony. But amidst
this dismay, confusion and danger, Millard
Fillmore is reared high upon the stalWart
arms of patriotic parties north and south
and everywhere they are turning to him as
did the Israelites to the serpent raised by
Moses. The people have seen the hollow
heartednesS of the democratic leaders
their ruinous policy and their grasping am
bition. They have spoken it in laundering
tones in their strongholds in Maine and
Iowa, and they are manifesting it in the
South by daily accessions to the ranks
of Fillmore and Donelson. The old Wing
party, sleeping for so many years, have
shaken off their lethargy, risen in the
might of their patriotism, sagacty and con-
servatism, and swell the same ranks. The
old ship Of State, having long trembled in
the storm of fanaticism and sectiCnalism.
is righting up at last. The patriotism of a
free people has gone on board at last, and
she will be carried triumphantly into port
in November next, with an exultant shout
from her crew of Fillmore and Donelson

MIR. FiIImore,s Erie Letter.

We republish by request the celebrated
Erie letter of Mr.. Fillmore, which has
been most grossly misrepresented by his
enemies, who always omit mentioning the
concluding portion. 1t has been no part
of our purpose to defend Mr.. Fillmore
against charges based upon his record prior
to his accession to the Presidency. He
was tried upon similar charges in lS4S,
and acquitted by the people; and if there
is any one who now believes Mr. Fllmore's
soundness on the slavery question affected
by what he either said or did previous to
MS election in lS48, he can continue to
enjoy his belief We shall say nothing to
change it, We shall leave all such fools
to their folly.
