Slandcrs of Major Sam.

To person unacquainted with some of Ma
jor SArr's opponents in this county and district,
it would seem incredible that any one could be
so lost to all regard for truth and decency, as to
circulate the stories that have been put afioat
against him, and in order TO prevent his election
To defeat him they are determined on, are to
this end, the lying capacities of all hands is put
into requisition. Against his course as Re-
preventative we hear no eomplaInst- the
story of his voting for the extension of slavery,
which is growing stale and useless on their
hands-but they make falsehoods against his
private character. They charge him with hav-
ing attempted to seduce woman hereto COM
nit rape on girl in another quarter, and 9th
er charges equally as criminal, and equally as
false. Has it not come to a pretty pass when
men will resort TO such a course to defeat an
opponent. If this is TO be the rule hereafter,
what man that has any regard for himself or
friends, will consent to be candidate against
Locofocoisn, knowing that nothing was too vile
for its mrn 10 resort to.

Will Buchanan Withdraw!

1t is well known that Breckenridge has
lately been to Lancaster to see Buchanan
What was done or said or what arrange
ments were made by the leaders of the
Slave Democracy is kept very still. But
some things have leaked out. The Plnla-
delphia Bulletin says:
Mr.. Breckenridge came on by Express
train from Pittsburgh TO Lancaster and
went out to pay visit to the senior part
ner in the Cincinnati firm, to take an ac,
count of stock and have a talk about the
prospects of the season. AT Lancaster
Mr.. Breckenridge wa smet by the news
from Maine, and he probably was the bear
er of this highly interesting intelligence to
Mr.. Buchanan. What emotions were excl
ted under the Usage of Wheatlands" white
waistcoat, at the information thus given
we would not pretend to say; nor can we
say what were the special subject of con-
versation between the two BIS, the hum
bic B of Pennsylvania and the humble B
of Kentucky. But, considering all the cir
cumstances and the signs of the times, it
is fair to presume that there was question
about the propriety of Mr.. Buchanan's
withdrawal from the canvass for the Presi-
dency.
Of course Buchanan stands no chance OF
an election, and it is nothing but fair that
he should be withdrawn. Will Mr.. Buch-
anan withdraw ?-That's tile question:

eB-f Mr.. Senator PUGH's speech here had
been delivered bya third rate lawyer, it would
only have added to his fame as liar-not rs a
speaker.
He told his hearers many marvellous stories
too big for their stomaehs. Some We're dispos-
ed to believe, others would look sly at you out
of one eye, as much as to say, "he's one ofthem."
He lamented very much that TooMB's Kansas
Bill had not passed-said the President would
have appointed as the North's portion of the
Committee named in the Bill, Republicans. 1t
was remarked by one of his partisans on the
ground at the time this remark was made, that
this was the first time Mr.. PrERoE's generous
intentions towards the Republicans was made
known to him, and that he didn't believe it,
There were not manv that did.

Our opponents went to the trouble and ex'
pense of chartering an extra train to gather IL

to their meeting on Friday last. There were
three passenger ears and three flats. On its re-
turn a vote was taken between this point and
Homesville, which stood, for BUCHANAN IA, FIRE.

The FalsehOOd too Small, by
Half.

Mr.. Senator PUGHs speech here on Friday
last, was replete with falsehoods. 1t does not
seem to hurt him in the least to misrepresent
facts, and these misrepresentation are so glar-
ing that the most reckless of his partizans here
do not feel willing TO back him in his state
ments. We cannot expect to notice all. yet We
cannot but give few examples: For instance,
he stated that Gen. LANE was in Iowa at the
time of the election, and that he. with his 5000
soldiers, en- route for Kansas, all voted the Re-
publican ticket, which accounted for that State
going for the Republicans. Now he knew this
to be false when he uttered it. He know that
neither Gen. LANE nor his army were in
Iowa at the time he stated. But admitting
that he told the truth, what does he do with
the remainder of the 1000 or 5000. ma
iority there. He should either have made
LANES army larger or else stated that they were
permitted to vote three or four times. Some
would have believed it all.

THE CORONATION AT MosCw-The of
fetal programme of the ceremonial to be
observed at the coming Coronation at
Moscow, is divided into five parts: 1. The
solemn entry into Moscow from the Palace
Petrowski. 2. The Public Proclamation,
which will be made to the people for three
days previous to the Coronation. 3. The
decoration of the Cathedral of the Ascen-
sion, in which the ceremony will take
place. 4. The Coronation itself, which is
the longest of all. And 5. The decora-
lions of the Saloon in the old Palace of the
Czars-the Kremlin. In this Saloon a
ball will be given, as also in the Alexander
Palace; there will also be masquerade
and supper at the Palaee, festal performan-
ces at the theatre, feasting and other en-
tertainments for the people, and fireworks.

The Plain Dealers Unbiased
Opinion of James Buchanan.
The small and malignant clique who
wear the name of James Buchanan on their
collars, are endeavoring to sell the Democ-
racy of Pennsylvania, into the hands of the
South Carolina traitors. James Buchanan
never was elected by the people to any
office, except when he was a Federalist.
HE HAS NOT ONE THROB OF
DEMOCRATIC FEELING ABOUT
HIS COLD-BLOODED BACHELOR
HEART.-He could not receive the votes
of one-third of the people for any office.
And yet by the force of management of
the basest kind of political machinery, he
has been able for years past, TO crush the
Democratic party of this State, (Pennsyl-
vania,) to hang about its neck like mill
stone, to kill every progressional thought
in its bosom. He and his tools virtually
gave the State to Taylor in 1s4s, and if

Free-Soilism:
To the Editors of the Dc,ascse Zeit,s,,g:
GENTLEMEN: The course which your
journal has pursued within the last few
months is undoubtedly calculated to bring
disgrace and dishonor upon all citizens of
German extraction, who, because support
ing such sheet, are denounced as Aboli.
tonists. This state of things must have
an end. l have therefore prepared some
extracts from your journal, which will
prove it to be stumbling that can
not be tolerated In this section; and these
extracts l shall send TO an Anglo-American
paper for publication. You will readily
perceive that the further existence of your
journal, after such exposure, will be out Of
the question. Before having recourse to
this extreme measure, however, will give
you timely warning. now tender the
following proposition:
L. Hoist the Democratic flag immediate
ly, and publish the entire Democratic ticket
until after the election.
2. Advocate publicly and purely the De-
mocratic principles.
The result of such a course will be to
unite the German voters at the coming
election.
l must, however, beg you to forward me
a formal written guaranty to accept and
abide by my stipulations before IL o'clock
m. this day. If up to that hour such
guaranty is not received, l shall act, and
you must then bear the consequences.
Respectfully yours,

The Southern Democracy on
SlaYerY.

The Richmond Enquirer, a leading Bu-.
chanan paper in Virginia, discourses thus
eloquently on the doctrine ayowed by the
Buchanan Democratic party. 1t is the
same that is now using the bullets and
bayonets of the nation to exterminate the
Free State men of Kansas. Read, read;
"Make the laboring man the slave of
one man, instead of the slave of society,
and he would be far better off.

LABORORS A PAUPER BANDITTI.
Free society has failed and THAT WHICH
is NOT FREE, MUST BE SUBSTITU-

they are trying uneOnseiOusly to ado adopt. IT,

NORTH are governed. Our negroes are
not only BETTER OFF as to physical
comfort than FREE LABORERS, but

ave do not adopt the theory that Ham
was the ancestor of the negro race. The
Jewish slaves were not negroes; and to
confne the Jurisdiction of slavery to that
race, would be to weaken its scriptural au-
thority, and to lose the whole weight of
profane authority, for we read of no negro
slavery in ancient times SLAVERY,
BLACK OR WHITE, is NECES-
SARY.
