WHAT DOES IT MEANT

Under this head, the Lewistown Ga-ene
states that couple individuals visited Mifflin
county, for the purpose of teaching Americans
how to vote, and advised a council that the
only course to pursue was to stick to Fillmore
or rote for Buchanan, This comes up to what
we mentioned some weeks ago, that there are
individuals who, whilst pretending to be A
mericans, are really for Buchanan, and are
acting thus hypocritically for the purpose of
betraying true men into the hands of their
Locofoco enemies. But, as our contemporary
remarks, s'to show what cringing animal any
honest American must be who would vote for
Buchanan, We refer to his letter of acceptance
of the Cincinnati nomination, in which he
deemed only ttro subjects worthy of being no.
ticedAthe first being a deaunciation of Amer
icanism, the second the slavery question:
Here are his words:
90 NO party founded on religious or politi-
cal intolerance towards one class of American
citizens, whether born in our own or. in q for
elgn land, can long continue to exist in this
country. We are all equal before God and
the Constitution, and the DARK SPIRIT OF DEs-
PoTIsM AND BIGoTRY which would create odious
distinctions among our felow-citizens, will be
speedily rebuked by free and enlightened
public opinion
s'Now what American, who has any respect
for himself, VIII bow his knee to the man who
thus spurns him as despot ard bigot p
What American will prove himself the fawn-
ing sycophant by aiding in eleyating to high
office the man who denounces him as every
thing base and mean? There might be some,
ignorant of Mr.. BIS repeated denunciations of
Americans, who might honestly imagine they
would not be injuring their principles by vo-
ting for him but with all conversapt with his
course respecting them we can imagine of but
ssinluence" that could produce such
hybrid, and what that is any of our readers can

The ST. Louis hteitigencer, in reviewing the
prospects of Mr.. Buchanan, says:-'sBuchanan
is doomed and defeated man. AS surely as
Cass was borne down and defeated in 1S4S, so
will Buchanan be defeated now. He will new
er sit in the Presidential chair. Buchanan
will not get single New England State. He
will lose n. York and Ohio by nearly 100, 900

torn from him, and nothing is more certain
than his ingloriOus defeat in his own State. In

Agreeably to previous notice meeting of

ty, was this day held in Fox township, Elk

Rogers and Henry Gross, Vice Presidents and
Horace Little, Secretary.
A constitution was adopted and permanent
officers chosen.
On motion, Hon. Henry Souther addressed
the meeting for about an hour, in one of his
best efforts; showing the true issues before
the country and the contemplate chicanery
resorted to by the ssBuckaneers'' to deceive
the people into the support of their candidates.
After Mr.. Souther oncluded, Col. H. a. Pat
tison gave US one of his sarcastic speeches,
which tell with thrilling effect on the 'sRuffi-
an'' crew. W. 4. Nichols, Esq, of Ridgway,
then favored us with the ssJordan' song.
Voted that the proceedings of this meeting
be signed by the officers, and published in the

The meeting then adjourned to meet at the
same place, one week from to-day.

LATER FROM CALIFoRNIA.-The Committee
of Vigilance is still in session with an army of
5000 infantry, cavalry and artillery, ready to
act at moments warning. On the afternoon
of July 9th, DIR. Alex. Randall an old resi-
dent of this place, was shot in the bar-room of
the st. Nicholas Hotel, by Jos. Hetherington.
a difficulty had long existed between the par
ties in relation TO business transaction in
which Hetherington claimed that Randall had
defrauded him. They were both large opera
tors in real estate. Hetherington made the
first assault, but they fired simultaneously, ,and
exchanged five or six shots when Randall fell
mortally wounded. Several of the regular
police force attempted to arrest Hetherington,
but they were ovcrpowered by the committee
police, who conveyed the prisoner to their
headquarters. Randall died on the following
day, and Hetherington tried by the Com
mittee Tribunal, and executed on July I'd.
Another prisoner in the hands of the Com
mittee, named Philander Brace, who had been
found guilty of murder, was hung on the same
day, and on the same scaffold with Hethering-
ton. The executions took place in public
thoroughfare, and were witnessed by some
io,OOO persons. Seyerai thouSahu OouHitlee
troops were under arms in the vicinity of the
gallows, and the street approaches were guar
ded by cannon. Brace died hardened man,
using the grossest profanity on the scafod.
Judge Terry is still prisoner, but as Hop
kins has recovered, it is doubtful what will be
done with him. This appears now to be the
chief difficulty in the way of the disbandment
of the Committee, although it is asserted that
they have only begun their work.
Jack Williams, the murderer OF Casper
Sheppard, last year, was executed at Moke-
Iumne, August 1st. He walked to the scat
fold smoking segar!
