We have copied articles and paragraphs from
many of the Buchanan organs in the non slave
holding States, claiming that their party is the
genuine anti-slavery and Freesoil party. We
have copied also the handbills calling the larg-
est and most important of the late Buchanan
meetings in Ohio--handbills calling those meet
ings for the avowed object of promoting the
success Of the Buchanan ticket in OHIO as a
means of preventing 'the curse of slavery
from being extended to Kansas or fb any Terri
tory now free.
This morning we received the Lebanon Adj
vertiser Of the 9Th inst, one Of the most i'm.
portan Buchanan organs in Pennsylvania. =
Like the other organs OF the same party in thai
State, the Lebanon paper fought the late battle
upon Freesoil ground. Rallying its party fo
last Tuesdays election, it exclaimed in CAPT
tols large enough for double-sheet poster:

4 RAIIAD.

The following i one Of the best and most cruel
lyrics Of the campaign:
III sing yoaa ane old ballad, made By . fine old
Ola fins Old fossil bachel0r,-sle ten cent caudi-
date:
Who in the White House wished to dwell, but as
he had no mate
The people thought for one lone man, the man zion
was toogreat,
For the fine old fossil bachelor,
Who was put up too late
The fine old fossil bachelor. to anything would
And ifthe larty told him to- would vow that round
was square:
And to his principles false, and cliangcful al
the air,
But faithful to ambition for the Presidential chair
For the fine old fossil bachelor,
Who never could get there.
For while the fine old bachelor abode meath othe
The vandals Of bis clique tore down solemn com
PROMISE
And built structure black and foul in all the PEG
plv'seyes
And placed platform on the top that was made U
of lies,
Where the fine old fossil bachelor,
| Might stand and show his size.
And the fine old fossil bachelor to the rlatforr
led,
And then they placed the party Moose, just unde
meath his head,
But the platform was gallows drop and yielde
i to his tread,
And, kicking off his boots he hung POLITICAL
/ dead.
The fine old fossil bachelor,
Il From the platform stained blood-red.

thought that anything could be made by aboii-

DIsUNIoN.--The hileous mask of Disunion-
ism, SO unblushingy exposed by Keitt. Brooks,
Wise, and others--the strong supporters of
Buchanan in the South--is rapidly destroying
tie last hope of the Democratic ticket in
the South. There is wisdom, prudence and
patriotism in the Southern half Of the confede-
racy; and the traitor who would attempt disun-
ion there now, would perish swiftly by South
ernhlnds The National Intelligencer forcib'y
saws:
The idea is too mcnstrnus for grave argu-
ment, and is indeed hardly worthy of being
treated seriously. To make the existence OF
the Government dependent upon the result OF
regular periodical election, would be redu-
eng our institutis MS to the level and the Pr
carious tenure OF Mexican or Buenos Ayrd
pronunciamento. But the men who laid the
foundations Of the Constitutions and Of the I'm
ion which rests upon ii, knew what the, were
about, and laid them too deep to be sha y
subverted by any tempest OF party pas q
transient excitement. This glorious Union n
stood firm during sixty yesrs, and. with the
blessings Of Heaven, Il wiIi stand arm sixty
years longer. thougI he Washington unin

of the United States are making the most
extensive and thorough preparations to collect
from all parts of the Union, this SIDE Of the
Rocky Mountiins, the result of the Preiden-
tial election on the fourth day of the next
month. In the State OF Pennsylvania. for in
stance, there is very large extent of territory,
with. in many Places, bad roads. In that
State alone several thousand dollars will be ex-
pended and if there is no failure OF agents. a
decisive Indication Of the result will be obtain
ed at an early hour the next morning. The
same may be said of the great State Of New
York. As soon, therefore. as the polls close
on the fourth day of November next, in all
parts of the Union the work will begin. Lo-
comotlves, horses. and the electric telegraph
will collect and carry to common centre the
returns Of the various States, where they will
be put into shape, and again transmitted to
every State and city of the Union traversed by
