To show how utterly absurd are their preten-
sions to exclusive soundness and purity ou this
question, we give small extract from speech
delivered by Frank Pierce in 1852 He dendun-
ced The Fugitive Slave Law in unmeasured
terms, yet the patent democracy elevated him to
the position he now so unworihiiy occupies.
But hear what he says

This Law, which, according to Frank Pierce,
SIS opposed to humanity" was sanctioned by
Mllard Fillmore, and by him faithfully execu-
ted. How Intellectual, then, must he all their
efforts to prove him unsonnd upon this vexed
question.

A Lady who was Present at the
Battle of Saratoga.

Mrs Margaret Martin, says the Troy Wing
who is at present stopping at the residence OF
her grand son, in that city city, is ninety -eght
years of age. She is one of the few remarka-
BILE women of the Revolution who took part in
the memorable occurrences. of the struggle for
American independence. Her husband Gilbert
Martin, who was a Sergeant in the army of
Gates, was engaged in the battle of Saratoga.
Mrs. Martin, then very young womsn was OF,
the field during both struggles constituting this
battle and terminating in the defeat of the splen-
did army which Burgoyne had transported with
such immense labor and expense, from Canada
confidently anticipating that he would be able
with it to divide the army of the patriots and
secure Sir Henry Clinton in possession of the
Southern line of defenc 8. Mrs. Martin repre-
sents the struggle as the most terrific. She
says that towards evening, when Burgoyne,
| maddened by the consciousness that all his
splendid schemes were about to be defeated, d.
rected his whole reserve and cavalry force upon
| the the feeble army of patriots. The contest
ants stood within half musket range of each 9TH
| er, and poured in their deadly volles, while
files on either sde fell in their tracks, and still
neither gave one inch. Towards evening Mr.
Mar lin was wounded in the shoulder: and while
his wife was in the act of fixing bandage, she
herself was wounded in the hand She SAYS
"Gilbert sprang up like chafed lion: Peggy,
said he, I'll go and teach those cowardly dogs
better manners than to shoot at woman,' ant
saw him no more till the fight was over"
| Ofsuch material were the men and women
the Revolution. We can readily imagine tina
the field Of Saratoga was strange placs fo
those of the s.softer sex" Mrs Martin howey

ter. Her frame Still exhibits evidences OF strength
and her eyes sparkle as she recounts the deed.

Mr.. Buchanan is a veritable ,Othel'e, or any,

acceptable to "the iree-soilish democracy of the

FRIDAY MORNING, APRIL 2s. 1856.
The British Oath of Abiuration.

We have observed by a perusal of late foreign
papers, that Mr.. GIBsoN, member of Parliament
from Manchester, has brought;in bill to repeal
the bath of abiuratTon, which limits the title Of
the:lescendan's Of the Princes SOPHIA, Of Hno
VIZ to the throne Of Great Britain, as long as
those descendan are not papi-s, out Protcstants.
This oath is enforced by l3 WILLIAM Ill, chap.

WILLrAM. The act, securing the Protestant sue
.ccssion received the roya assent somewhere about
The 18th March, eco and the oath was imposed
by this act. Under ITS pravsio's, talty is not

oppose the Protestant succession, and destroy the
securities Of truth, and open the gatesof the king

what singular that Che Commons now should have
q party ready to aitl the Pope and Popcry. Mr.
GIBSON, it should be remarked, has introduced
this bill in his rr'fesscd anxiety thss Jews should
be admitted to Parliament, which cannot now be
done, as the oath is taken upon 'the true faith OF
a Christian" This oath limits the allegiance Of
Protestant members TO Protestant sovereign
Though the "oath to be taken by Roman Catho-
lies" has the same limitation. ii is easy to imagine
the course that Roman Catholic members woul
adopt If they hal it in their power to break th,
part Of their oath. as they have had it in the;l
power to break the part which binds them not tc
attempt to subvcrt the present Protestant Churcl
Establishment, and which they did attempt, ant
will again. We have no fears that the Protest
ants of Great Britain will lose sight of these in
sidious efforts to do the PUpe's work, under tn,
pretence Of effecting liberal movement toward
the Jews; and already we see the evidences tha
every exertion will be made by good and true men
in and out of tAe British Parliament, to bar tn
