THE "ONE-DRoF" FALSEHOOD.

The Lancaster (Pa.,} Wing, having given
place TO the stale charge that Mr.. Buchan-
an, about 40 years ago, declared that ''if he
had drop ofDemocratic blood in his veins,
he would open vein and let it out" the
Lancaster Intelligencer, published where
Mr.. Buchanan resided, and which may be
presumed to speak authoritatively on this
subject disposes of the base fabrication as
fellows:
"A STALE FALSEHooD REvIyED.-The
Independent Wing of this city Ia know
nothing, black republican, nigger-worship-
ping journal,) among ether falsehoods "a
gainst Mr.. Buchanan retailed in its columns
is the oft-refuted one about the drop of
blood The writer knows this to be false ;
for it was pronounced such by number of
our most respectable citizens, of all parties,
at the time the charge was first started.-
And this fact the writer for the Independent
Wing was cognizant of. But he says he
has living testimony TO prove the Charge
Well, then, why dees he not produce his
testimony! But let that paper produce its
man, and we pledge ourselves to produce at
least twenty of our most respectable citi-
zens who will prove the story downright
liza base, unmitigated falsehood from be-
ginning to end.
MIR. Buchanan has resided in this city
and its vicinity for forty years. His up
right and consistent character, both in pub
lie and private life, is well known TO almost
every man, woman, and child in this COM
munity. The people of this county have
time and again honored him with their suf-
frages, and it is a remarkable fact that he
has never yet been beaten at a popular
election before the people of Lancaster
county. 1t is, therefore, all futile for a
strollimg Yankee nutmeg adventurer, like
the editor of the Independent Wing. to at
tempt to injure Mr.. Buchanan at his own
home. The lie in question has been repeat
ed so often by reckless and unprincipled
opposition as to have lost all novelty and
interest. Nobody believes a word of it,

never support its candidates orits doctrines.

whose devotion to the Wing party, even
an enthusiast could not question, who be-

TO vote for Buchanan and Breckenridge,
and they will act accordingly. Of course
the piops Know &othings, ,chO nerer desert

there is moral courage enough left to make
men do their duty, and despise the malevo-
lence of accusers.

ments. And what is little strange, men with
papers edited by Tom, Dick, and Robert
papers, we may say, edited by the public. by
anonymous" sneaking, and irresponsible
scribblers,-wiils sometimes allow insinuations
to be made through their columns, alleging
that others are guilty of trading on such
false capital! This can only be accounted
for, on the ground that they desire their CO.
temporaries to occupy before the public the
same humiliating position of imbecility with
themselves. However limited may be our
capacities, we hope we do not altogether &C.
cupy a know-nothing platform.
We are prepared to expect comments on
our editorial course-but, we also expect a
fair and legitimate course to be pursued to-
wards US. Misrepresentation calculated to
affect our efficiency as Editor, will not be

WONDERS WILL NEVER CEASE

Commodore Stockton has accepted his
nomination for the Presidency! Who
would have believed it, without positive
proof from the Commodore himself! He
has formally accepted by letter, in which
he says:
% accept the nomination as a compli-
ment to my inhexible American sentiments,
and the duty owe 20 those Americans who
so firmly adhered to their American princi-
pies; with the express understanding, how
ever, that if the American party can be
united on such platform as now occupy,
l may be at liberty at any time hereafter to
withdraw my acceptance"
Go it, Stockton and Rayner! Your
chances are at least equal to four or five
others on the track. If you get New -Jer-
sey and two more States, you will have
three. as the little boy said III his race after
the ground squirrel. Commodore Stockton
and Kenneth Rayner, it will be recollected,
was nominated by the New-Jersey, and
some few other delegates who seeded from
the late Anti Fillmore Convention in New
York, which in the first place nominated
Ranks and Johnston, and subsequently
nominated Fremont and johnson. Stock
ton and Rayner are nominees of the sece-
ders from the seceders.
