The Democratic Party South.

The N. o. Delta has the following sig
nifeant comments on the "signs of the
t..mes:''
"From the beginning we stated that tho
Buchanan and Breckenridge were not such
persons as we would select for President
and Vice President, neverthe less, as the
best in the field, we would support them,
and give them reluctant vote In Novem-
Der next But the aspect of the canvass is
beginning to change. The Democratic par
ty seems sliding away from the latitude il
assumed, at Cincinnati, and we have seri-
Gus misgiyings as to whether the Southern
rights portion of the COMMUNICATIVE non
office seekers and earnest MEXICAN hearth
ly range themselves on the side of ticket
which is commencing to look exceedingly
like bogus affair"

Buchanan's Northern Face.

The home organ of BUCHANAN, the Lam
caster Inielligencer, presents him to the peo-
pie of the North in this manner:
FAcTs TO DE REMEMBERED.-Who nom
mated Mr.. Buchanan Let it be borne in
mind says the Steuben Farmers Advocate,
that it was the North! On The first ballot
in the Cincinnati Convention, he received
one hundred and nine votes from the free
States and but thirty-four from the slave
States. The Southern States, with but two
exceptions, voted against him in body up
to the last ballot, when they yielded TO the
force of public opinion. Yet on every hand
you hear the Abolition papers and orators
crying out that he is the Southern candidate,
in favor of the extension of slavery, &C..
sc. James Buchanan has been in public
life for over thirty years, and we challenge
any man TO produce the first word or act tc
prove these base assertions Of an unscrupu.
lous opposition. He was born and educated
and has always lived in the State, and his
public life gives the lie to the charge tina,
he ever favored the extension of slavery.
This paper is the accredited organ of Mr.
BucuASAN, published in his own town, ant
Of course supposed to be authorized to make
the above statement as the sentiments of the
Democratic nominee, We ask the people o
Missouri, and the whole South, if mar
holding such views in reference to slavery
is worthy of their confidence and should re
ceive their support for the highest Office
known to our laws2

THE New CEYr.-The new cent piece
recently finished at the United States Mint,
Philadelphia, is the size Of the old half cent,
and is composed OF fifty-seven parts copper,
seven of nickel, and:one OF zinc. 1t has a
light appearance, with faint red tint, and
is in beautiful contrast with the American
silver and gold pieces, and will not, as the
old cent did, tarnish them by contact. The
weight Of the new is only seventy-twc
grains-that of the present copper cent is
one hundred and six,y-eight.

Good Idea.


The Columbia Ndtesman, of last week, has
the following;--
Large sums have been collected in Mis-
souri, and in the South, to sustain the Pro-
Slavery party in Kansas. In some counties
in this State, we understand as high as ten
thousand dollars have been contributed; in
others five thousand, three thousand, two
thousand, and in many others smaller sums.
Liberal contributions have also been made
in Kentucky, Tennessee, Georgia, Alabama
and Mississippi and perhaps other Southern
States. The aggregate of all these contri-
buttons must be very large, reaching perhaps
hundreds of thousands OF dollars.
Now that the war is over and we have time
to examine the details, we hope the commit
tee at Atchison, X. T., and others who have
controlled the disbursement Of these funds
will render an account Of their Stewardship
by letting the country know what has been
done with the money.
This is an excellent idea, and we hope II
will be adopted forthwith. Let us hear al
about the matter-how much money wa.
subscribed, whose hands it was placed in
where il went TO, and what good was effect
ed by it. Let us have balance sheet.

Turnips-Potatoes Corn.

We are again favored with lot of Tur-

pie, and we bespeak winter supply of the

y+The Philadelphia Ledger of Frila,

I1-The Philadelphia Ledger of Friday
says the vote in Pennsylvania will be very
close, and it will take the official vote TO
decide the result. When Forney claims
the great State Of Pennsylvania by "a5out
5000," it is close, indeed. The majority
in that State, for the democrats, never has
gotten that low, with one or two exceptions,
and admitting it has gone for the de-
mocracy by "about 5000," it is defeat for
them, under Buchanan. The Buchanan
men supported regular ticket, with "lit-
tie free soil leaven," and Union Ticket
was run against it, and was supported by all
who opposed the Buchanan dynasty. In
such an arrangement it is hard TO bring out
a full vote in favor of an Opposition tick
ct" because there are many who will moi
vote specified ticket, even 10 beat an or.
ganized party. Such will vote the regular
Fillmore ticket, against Buchanan. The
Battle has yet to be fought in Pennsylvania
and we hope victory will crown the efforts
Of the Union Men, who are so galIantly
battling against sectionalism, and for Fill
more.

PHILADELpHIA, October Is.

A prominent member of the American
party, from New York city, furnishes us
with the following information: The Exec.
u.ive State Committee, to-day, by a MAORI
ty of 20 in Committee Of %, resolved, that
we deem it inexpedient to make any altera.
tions in the Fillmore and Donelson ticket o.
this State, and we are firmly convinced that
any interference with it would be the mean:
of giving the State to Mr.. Buchanan, in.
stead Of defeating him.
Resolved, That we decline TO accept eth.
er of the propositions of the North Ameri.
can State Central Committee, satisfied that
the Electoral ticket already in the field il
the only one on which all opposed TO Mr.
Buchanan can successfully unite, and pledge
uncompromising opposition 10 the defea
under any circumstances Of his election
This action renders union of the Fremon
and Fillmore parties in Pennsylvania i'm
possible. The original Fillmore Electora
ticket will be run.

Election News.

The telegraph reports that full returns
have been received from the Pennsylvania
election, which show Democratic majori-
ty Of 6,647 ON the State ticket.
Indiana is reported to have elected the
Democratic State ticket by upwards Of FIVE
thousand majority. Six Democrats and FIVE
Fremonters are said to be elected 10 Con-
gress, and six Democrats from Ohio, and
sixteen from Pennsylvania.
The present representation from the ABOVE
States stands: 81 Republicans from OHIO
no Democrats; 8 Republicans and 2 Demo-
Gratis from Indiana; Democrats and FL An
ti.Democrats from Pennsylvania. The Dem
ocratic gain in Congress { as reported by the
dispatches) is twenty members.
Later advices, in the main, confirm the
foregoing. The Democratic majority in
Pennsylvania will probably be decreased,
as also that Of Indiana, where the Demo.
Gratis and Black Republicans fused in their
State ticket. The Black Republican ma
iority in Ohio will be increased, by the Off
cial vote. fhe official vote of Pennsylvania
and Ohio, when compared with other votes
Of the same States, will not be so favorable
to the Democracy as their present loud
growing would indicate; and in November,
when the contest is storn Of all local feel
ings and influences, the case may be very
different. October elections have present
ed worse aspects, and been reversed in No.
vember.

In these exciting times, the best advice
we can offer our friends Is TO continue 10
keep cool, perfect their organization, and
maintain keen, calm, resolute watch and
guard over the manGuvres of their political
adversaries. At this time the Democracy
have schemes ahoat which, though iinper-
fectly known to us, are unquestionably preg-
nant with momentous consequences. We
refrain from making public the information
we have received, even though it comes
from source entitled to a credit, until we
can substantiate it by additional testimony
as will place the facts beyond even the pos
sibility of being disputed. In the mean time
we caution the American Union party TO be
vigilant. The circumstances 10 which ,Ue re-
fer render IL Imperative that every conserra.
tire in the land should stand really TO act
promptly and efficiently. If we speak darky,
it is not because we love mystery or desire to
create false impressions. At present we
are only in possession OF the general scope
and purpose of the movement TO which we
allude, and we can therefore do no more
than foreshadow our meaning, until we are
prepared with such details as will justify us

Lane ut Home.


Lane, the Free State chieftain, reached
Tndianapoii, last Friday night, and made a
speech, of which the following is a sample.
It will be seen that he regards Indiana as
his home;
am again at home. (sbodts---"YOu are
welcome.'') And / am glad to be at home.
eve are glad TO have you.) Though am
for Kansas first, am an Indianian. ] have
always, in all circumstances, done my duty
by her. (Applause.)
He then spoke Of the charge made by
Secretary Marcy, that the people Of Kan
sas were in rebellion against the laws. He
said it was false. The people of Kansas
had never organized against the General
Government, or the Territorial Govern
tnent, or even against the Missouri laws
They had resisted the attacks of the Mis-,
sourians, and nothing more. When those
men entered Kansas from Westport, they
heralded their approach by ravishing a
mother and her daughter. The Free State
men had attacked Franklin TO secure the
Williams who did that deed. They had MUIR
dered Hoyt. He was shot three times in
the back, and mangled as the Indians had
never mangled body. The attack on
Saunders was to reach the murderers.-
The attack on Lecompton was in sight Of
the ruins of seDen burning houses, and was
made to secure the perpetrators.
At Bull Creek they had met thousand
Missourians, and drove them away with a
hundred and twenty-seven men. For all
he knew, they were running yet. The
ruffians had scalped man, while living,
and he was now going about exhibiting his
skinless head against the infamous scoun-
drels who had SO used him. Would
not any Indianian have acted as he (Col
Lane) did? ("Yes, yes.")
He said that he could not speak much
tonight, but he was appointed for speech
tomorrow Saturday night, and he would
then talk to them. He had been eigh
weeks almost constantly in the saddle, ant
in that time had met the rufians nine times
He closed by an earnest appeal to all mel
who desired to preserve the Union ant
stop the slavery agitation, to vote for Ere
mont. He said he had never seen sucl
excitement manifested in Iowa and Illinois
The prairies were all on fire, and Fremon
would sweep them by such majority q
has never been seen in the country.
