readers, additional evidence of the freesoil,
black republican tendencies of the demo.

letter from Williamsport, Pa, under date

the following extract
There is q Buchanan meeting in Mflinburg,
Union county, to-day. In the bills w. Il. Witte,

pounced At the close of the poster they call up
on democrats, wings and republicans TO turn out
and learn the fact that 1T is THE DEMOCRATIC
PARTY THAT is LAB0RING FOR FREEDOM
IN KANSAS, the assertion of opposition orators
to the contrary notwithstanding" The democratic
papers IN this section are taking the same track

Buchanan and Breckinridgs EJectiOneeTing IN
Pennsylvania on the Fremont and Free Kan
eas PIattornl-Death Of Mr.. Platform.
If the Southern capitalists the three hundred
and FORTY six thousand shareholders, who threaten
e. e., some half dozen OF them) 70 dissolve the
Union, and TO forsake a nation OF twenty millions
of people-h they cannot have all their own way IN
the government of that natiOn-if they were to
hen VIII dare N q
''free Kansas" would they not Indignantly lynch
him, or arrest and try him, and send him by force
out Of the country? They would do so-they do
So Then il they can but catch Mr.. buchanan and
the few desperate men who, having encased their
consciences in brass and adamant follow still his
desperate fortune at all hazards, they certainly will
lynch him and them all. Why SO! Mr.. Buchanan
and Breckenridge now going all over and round
about the State Of Pennsylvania preaching free
Kansas" Are they converted? Are they become
young republicans and true democratsg Have they
abandoned the apostste democracy! What does
this mean! Has MF. Platform already jumped of
from the platform? Has he who has laid himself
down on the backs of Pierce and John Van Buren,,
and who gave himself up to be bestrded by ne
gro slavedriver and negroes-has he shaken of the
black nightmare, the heavy incubus, and jumped
upright from of his bearers and ceased to be Mr..
Platform Is Mr.. Pstform dead! Yes, he has
done so, and Mr.. Platform is dead. I can produce
the pldcdnd pdradod nor in the interior TOMS and
villages of Pennsylvania, headed in large faDltpg
letters, buchanan, Breekinridge and Free Kan
sds" Here there s public notification of the death
of Mr. Platform. This is his last dying speech and
confession.
This is the second time that Mr.. Buchanan bears
public testimony before the world in favor Of Mr..
Fremont and bis principles. First, under oath, in
London, and now by bis puplic pacards in the in'
terror OF Pennsylvania. Not having the fear Of
lynching before his eyes, Mr.. Buchanan proclams
himself before the people Of nnsylvania friend
of free Kansas-thAt is, Of making Kansas free
Now, this is the Fremont platform.
Is Mr.. Buchanan sincere, or is it merely an cleo
ton trick intended to cheat and deceive the good
people of Pennsylvania II We will not insult
Messrs. Buchanan aud. Breckenridge by supposng
them guilty of the vilest cheating and lying, We
must believe them to be sincere converts. The diS
lemma is ineKIricable for him; they are either one
or the other.
It would be an unavailing bubble to plead and
say that mr. Buchanan has not done Ihis; il ia his
friends who have done it, Mr.. Buchanan is TO profit
by it, If il can be made successful in cheating the
people Of Pennsylvania. He who has hirengs en-
gagged 10 stealing or lying for him is in the eye OF
the Law just guilty Of stealing or OF lying as his
agents, more especially when il is all done for bis
profit. participation in the profits, il any can be
made, is participation in the crime.
In connection with these facts, it should
be borne in mind that the democracy Of
Mr. Buchanan's congressional district nom
mated and voted for as their candidate for
Congress, Hester, a Seward wing, who
spoke against and voted against the Kan
as-Nebraska bill in Congress, and also
nominated in another district, and voted
for Hickman, a friend of Reeder, and an
opponent and denouncer Of the same bill,
which the party, South, pretend TO regard
as the true test Of nationality. 1t was by
thus hanging out the banners offreesoilism,
and corrupting the ballot box, that the
Buchanan democracy Of Pennsylvania, won
their meagre majority OF three thousand in
the late State elections. We doubt not
they will continue the policy, but whether
they can win again is extremely doubtful.
What have the people of Tennessee, who
hate deception aud fraud, to say to these
infamous practices? Are they prepared
10 sustain party which becomes "all things
into all men, !" whilst protesting to be sound
and nationalg How can you rely upon the
Buchanan democracy for the protection Of
your peculiar rights and institutions, when
Mr.. Buchanan's own State, declares for
freedom IA Kansas" the ground upon which
tha great battle for your rights IA 10 be
foaghtY You should ponder these things
seriously and sOberly, and act promptly.
There is no time 10 lose There is but one
escape from the perils which surround you,
and that is the support and election Of
