In pursuance of q previous call, the Democ-
racy Of Lynchburg, in large numbers, Assem-:
bled at the Masonic Hall, Thursday night, the
18th instant, to ratify the proceedings and
nominations of the Cincinnati Convention.
On the motion of Samuel Garland, IT., ESQ.,,
Judge d. A. Wilson was called to the Chair,
and G. w. Statham and j. G.. Paxton were ap.
pointed Secretar;,s :.
Judge Wilson explained the purposes Of the

The Chair appointed as the Committee--R.

Seth Woodroof.
Charles Irving, esq, was then enthusiast.
cally called for, and responded in speech Of
considerable length, and much power and elo-
quence. He was repeatedly interrupted with
rapturous applause.
Mr.. Irving was followed by II. X. Cralle
esq, who was loudly called for, in a most i'm
pressive and well-timed speech, principally ad.
dressed to the members Of the old Whig party,
whose duty he declared it to be, in this contest,
to rally to the support of James Buchanan, and
thus enable the South to present an undivided
front to the fanaticism Of the North.
Mr.. G. was followed by Major James Garland.

pith
The committee then reported through its

which we're enthusiastically received and unani.
mously adopted:
ResolDed, That we cordially approve and en-
dorse the nomination Of James Buchanan, Of
Pennsylvania, as the Democratic candidate for
the Presidency, recognising in him a sound and
reliable Democrat pure and devoted patriot,
and an accomplished and mature statesman, TO
whose administration of the Government every
patriot in the land may confidently look for
energy, fidelity and impartiality to all interests
and sections Of our common country, and for
the bold assertion Of the honor and right Of the
nation abroad and strict submission to the Con.
stitution and laws at home

nominee for the Vice Presidency, we recognize

BLACK REPUBLICAN SINCERITY
Tested

Everybody knows that the Abolitionists have
claimed, yes they have screamed, that their
party in Kansas we're in large majority;
That their large majority has been overawed
by "Ruffians" from the "Mssouri Border;n
That the Legislature of Kansas was a Bo-
gus Legislature" and the laws made by it
Bogus laws" because the voice Of their ma
jority was stiAed by the Eruption Of armed
ruffians from Missouri, and kansas subiu-
gated"
They declare that Whitfield is Bogus y
Delegate and Reeder the true Delegate;
They declare that they have majority of
the bona tide voters of Kansas.
Now do the Abolitionists believe this? They
have declared this to be true to all the world.
Do they believe it to be true7
Messrs. Howard and Sherman, the majority
Of the Investigating Committee, brought in
their report on Tuesday last. They have been
to Kansas and taken the testimony, and they
say il is true that the Abolitionists have the
majority Of the bona fde voters of Kansas.
Do they themselves believe this to be true
Do the Republican" party believe what they
have themselves declared, what their witnesses
have sworn to and their committee reported2
That is the question.
If they do believe this they are sincere.
If they do not believe this they are not sim
cere.
The belief or disbelief Of the Abolitioniss in
their own reiterated assertions is now about to
be subjected to practical test

From the Pitisburg Post, June IA,
buchanan and Pittsburg.

On the 10th of April, lS45, a large portion
of Pittsburg was laid in ashes by the great
fire. There was no telegraph to Pittsburg in
those days, and the news of our calamity could
only reach Washington by the 18th of April.
Mr.. Buchanan was then Secretary Of State.
On that day the following document left Wash
ington for Pittsburg, addressed by Mr.. Buch-
anan to William j. Howard, then mayor of our
city. Comment is unnecessary, even to those
maligners who would reproach Mr.. Buchanan
as cold and selfish

DEAR SIR: Will you please to accept and
apply the above toward the relief of the suf-
ferers in the late dreadful calamity. NY feel.
ings of sympathy and compassion have never
been 50 strongly excited upon any similar oc-
casion. But let the people be of good cheer,
and exert their accustomed energy, and under
the blessings of Providence all will yet be we'll,
and Pittsburg will arise more glorious than
ever from its ashes.

bonds of our Union, and spreads anarchy and
civil war through the land, what is it less than
moral treason? Law and common sense hold
a man responsible for the natural consequences
of his acts, and must not those whose acts tend
to the destruction of the Government, be
equally held responsible? Applause. And

solved, it will not be divided into two Repub

the accomplished gentleman, the gallant sol
der, and the promising statesman, and felici
tate the Convention and the party upon the Sc
lection of gentleman SO emnently fitted for
the second office within the gift of the people.
Resofoed, That if anything could heighten
the pleasure and enthusiasm with which we
hail the nomination of our candidates, it is the
broad national and conservative platform upon
which they have been placed by the Cincinnati
Convention, and which has been SO cordially
and emphatcally accepted and endorsed by
them.
Resoloed, That the unanimity of sentiment
and action displayed among the assembled
Democracy at Cincinnati, representing as they
did all sections and extremes of the country
Vermont and Maine in the East-Michigan
and Iowa in the North California in the West,
and South Carolina and Texas in the South
demonstrate what has long been apparent to
every unprecedented mind, that the Democracy
of the country is the only national party now
in existence, and the only one to the success
OF which in the coming contest the patriot can
look for the triumph of national principles, the
faithful execution Of the laws, and the preser
walton of the Union
Resotced, That the cordial and enthusiastic
support which Franklin Pierce and Stephen A..
Douglas-the competing candidates for the
nomination-have SO promptly pledged to the
Cincinnati nominees, affords but another and
browning evidence of their devotion to Demo
cratic principles, and entities them to the
admiration of the party and of the country;
and that Franklin Pierce deserves at the hands
of every patriot in the land-N orth and South
the paudits Of "well done thou good and faith
full servant" as their deliberate judgment upon
the course of his administration
On motion of Mr.. Glass, it was
Resoloed, That the thanks of the meeting be
rendered to Mr.. Irving for his able and effective
speech, and that copy of it be requested for
publication.
On motion, the Lynchburg Republican, the
Richmond Enquirer and Examiner, and the
Washington Union and Sentinel, were requested
to publish these proceedings.
On motion, the meeting adjourned.

Wedding Scene.

A few evenings since a wedding scene oc-
Cured in church in this city which congulsed
the spectators with laughter. The minister
was about to unite couple in the bonds Of
matrimony, the lady being widow, and was
proceeding to perform the religious rites, when
he asked ''if any one objects to the marriage
of this couple, let them now speak" The
words had scarce escaped his lips, when
voice in the crowd exclaimed, ~ Object
forbid the bands" On discovering that the
speaker was the brother-in-law of the lady, the
minister demanded to know the objection. The
brother.inlaw replied because he has wife
living in the old country" "But," said the
minister, edo you know this statement to be
true?" "Of course do" replied the brother
in.law, ~ was not at the wedding but know
that he lived with a woman, by whom he had
child, which is pretty good evidence Of being
man and wife," "Not in all cases." said the
divine; "If he has not been lawfully welded by
priest or minister, he was not married at ali,
and therefore the present marriage will be
legal" IF this be the case then, Mr. Minis
ter" cried the brother-in.law in great rage, II
should ,like to know how Isaac and Rebecca
we're married" and without waiting to receive
an answer, bolted from the church and made
tracks for home. The couple we're then regu-
larry spliced, and the company who had wit.
messed the ceremony broke up in great glee,
each wondering why the brother.in-law should
be so anxious to prevent the match, and thus
sever two loving hearts.-Richmond Dispatch.

THE PULPIT-ITs OWN WORST EN-
EMY.

We give below an extract from the Phila.
delphia North american OF a scene which took
place on Sunday last, in church in that city.
The preacher, on the occasion, was the noto-
rious DIR. Tying, a man somewhat noted for
ability, but much more so for his quarrelsome,
bitter, unchristian spirit-a man who allows
his feelings TO color facts and supply the place
Of proof
In the present instance, not satisfied with
assuming as true the oft refuted falsehoods in
regard to the administrative pro-slavery action
In Kansas, and upon these known false state
ments, TO utter his bitter denunciations and TO
inculcate the minds Of his hearers with his own
Jaundiced prejudicesi but he travelled beyond
the record into the general question Of slavery.
and introduced all the indeceucies and slono,
about "slave. breeding" as he delic.telv farms
it.
One Of the original wardens Of the cbprcb
DR.. Morris, himself thorough anti.slaver,
man, was SO Disguised at the indelicacy and
improperly Of the mad preacher, that he inter.
posed his protest against such language there.
Indeed, every man having wife, daughter.
or sister, should have arisen and with them
have left the church.
The pulpit is daily sinking in public estima-
ton, and its influence for good has become
almost questionable. II any other man than
a parson were to avail himself Of such occasion
to resort to beastly language thus INDUCED in,
