Tho Bargain and Corruption Scheme.

We learn from the Philadelphia Times that
the desperate resort of the o-Slavery faction
in Pennsylvania and New York is approaching a
consummation. The Fremont enthusiasm is
alarming, and the ld-liners, conscious Of speedy
and final overthrow, unless they can anchor some
kind of rubbish in the stream, to stop or turn a.
side the impending food, the following bargain
is maturing. The Times says:-
sNr. Buchanan has become satisfied that he
cannot beat Frement, and has consented to with
draw in favor of Fillmore. "A committee have
been dispatched te procure the withdrawal of
Donelson. That committee are already far on
their way to Nashville.''
Well, let them 60, that game can't win.-
There are not cards enough in the whole united
"Fillmore and Breckinridge,'' Rorder-rufhan-
Know Nothing pack tc defeat the Pathfinder. 1t
is precious game of rascality, and vast indeed
must be the terror of the leaders of the Oligarcby
when they hang their hopes on such rotten peg !:
but man who was never conquered is our leader:
and though the bachelor Buchanan lay his wires
in the gulies of reckless corruption, Haman
shall be hung on his own gallows; and though
the Know Nothings may nest with their veriest
enemies Tor the sake'ot plumber, the cockatrice's
eggs which they are now Matching shall turn into
deadliest vipers and sting to death the deceitful
bosom which has nurturel and warmed them into
life. We have got a nan for our standard bear
er worthy of our steel. Misfortune took him in
her arms when he was yet an orphan babe, and
threw him into the stream of life, as pagan
mothers cast their offspring into the rushing
Ganges, he has bufetted the waves and stemmed
the current alone, and has come out A AAS---a
rhole man---humane, determined, patriotic and
self-reliant, with hand equal to any emergency,
and heart that throbs in unison with the peo-
ple's own. We. are indeed hopeful, when we
sweep the horizon Of politics to-day. We can
imagine only one pleasure that would equal it !;
and that is, the pleasure Of standing behind the
Hon. James Platforms chair as he reads the
newspapers on the fifth Of November
