WITHDRAWAL OF Mr.. BuCHAYAN.-
The Philadelphia Egeainy Bulletin, of
Thursday, says:
at is stated that Mr. Breckiuriigo re-
ally made proposition to Mr., Buchanan
a; the Whcatlands, yesterday, on the sub
ject Of his withdrawal. The plan is, to
get Ny. Donelson also to withdraw, and
uuite the Democratic and the American
tickets in the persons of Fillmore and
Breckinridge. Such a ticket Mr.. Brcck.
inridge thiaks will be likely to succeed
against Fremont and Dayton. What is
to be done about the two platforms does
not appear. Nor have we learned what
response Mr.. Buchanan made to the prop

publicans on the Union State Ticket-but
in vain. Well-informed men believe its
majority will exceed that Of Gov. Pollock!

KANSAS.-Gov. Geary has made o
long Address to the people, full of fair
promises, but very gingerly advising them
to obey the internal Claws" pretended TO
be enacted by the Border Ruffians who
usurped their ballot-boxes. We see no
backing down, however, on the part Of the
Freemen-the roal settlers; and Border
Rufianism is evidently on the wanc, altho'
they still make loud threats. In the recent
battles OF skirmishes, the people were most
ly victorious and unless the President and
Governor send on large bodies Of L. S.
forces, the Free Stattrs hope to stand their
ground until change at Washington shall
sweep away Lecompte, Donaldson and all
the Border Ruffian crew from power.
Sharpe's rifles, and the contributions from
the Free States, are keeping Liberty alive,
out there. Let the motto continue to be
Fremont, and Freedom for Kansas !"
and that fair land will be rescued from
Slavcrv's thrall, and become the rightful
heritage of the Sons of Liberty who now
struggle with her noble citizens against
legalized barbarity and tyranny
