Dutch, got the Dutch votes. And ever since
the Democrats have only succeeded by aid Of
the foreign vote. The American people have
always given a clear majority in opposition to
the measures of the Democratic party. It was
by the aid of the votes of their foreign allies
alone, that they succeeded. In the present
canvass, these heretofore faithful allies have
proved faithess, and are now shouting for
"Fremont and Freedom" Being opposed to
Southern institutions, the foreigners are now

to Buchanan the Democratic anti American
candidate. This alone would beat him.
But, the die is cast. Fillmore will beat
both Fremont and Buchanan. There is no
two ways about that fact The people have
so determined.

H- The editor of the Nashville Union
denies that he said, on his return from New
Hampshire, that Mr.. Buchanan could get but
one Northern State, and writes lengthy ar.
tcle in which he ventures to express the
opinion that the Federal nominee will carry
both Pennsylvania and New Jerscy-these
are all the Northern States our old and well
informed friend will venture to claim after a
trip Of observation in that direction. If it
be true, as friend at Trenton wrote us two
weeks ago, that Bob. Stockton will support
Fillmore, friend Eastman may fall back on
his first statement-that Buck was certain of
but one Northern State-Pennsylvania-
he might add, with a mighty bad look for
that just at this time. The suspicion indulg-
ed by the Union that he may carry Indiana,
Illinois, and California, is gratnitous-the
two first are thoroughly abolitionized and
certain for the awoolly horse" and as for
California, the thorough manner in which the
Vigilance Committee at San Francisco have
done their work, makes that Commonwealth
safe for Fillmore. What's the use then, of
talking about electing Buchanan! If the
South would not be crushed out and laid
PROSTATE ut the feet of the North, it must raj.

First District Court is now in session at Le-

were taken after the battle Of Hickory Point,

Pacific Railroad.

1t is amusing to witness tn glaring incon-
sistency in which political huoksters will in
volve themselves for the sake of making an
attack upon a party opponent. 1t is well
known that just before the election the
Black Republican papers published and en-
dorsed, in no stinted terms letter from Col.
Fremont to the editor of the San Francisco
Bulletin in favor of the Pacific Railroad.
Since the election, letter from Mr.. Buch-
anan to the Chairman of the Democratic
State Central Committee, of California, ia
king ground also in favor of the Railroad, has
appeared. The New York Herald, which
could see nothing Objectionable in the epistle
of its candidate for the Presidency, takes es-
pecial pains to attack, in the most violent
manner, that of Mr.. Buchanan. We give an
extract of the article of the Herald simply
as an evidence of the lack of manliness and
honesty in that class of politicians of whom
Bennett is the type:
This letter comprehends policy of inter-
nal Improvements compared with which the
whole American system of Henry Clay, so
odious to the Simon Pure Southern Democ-
racy, was but mere flea bite. Grant this
Pacific Railroad doctrine Of Mr.. Buchanan as
perfectly constitutional and expedient, and
our Congressional spoilsmen may not only
squander away the public lands by millions
to railroads along which they lie, but the
government may buy up all the railroads in
the United States, and assess direct tax
upon the people, including heavy tax upon
niggers, to pay for them. Pass bill upon
Mr.. Buchanan's California platform, for the
construction of the Pacific Railroad, and in
two years thereafter the Government will be
bankrupt, and heavy loans and heavy d.
rect tax will be required, including tax upon
niggers, TO cover the ordinary expenses OF
the Treasury.
If the policy comprehended by Mr.. Bu-
chanan's letter would entail upon the coun-
try the evils portrayed by the Herald, it is
very difficult to understand how the policy
advocated by Fremont could do less. Yet
the Herald most vociferously shouts for the
denomination, by acclamation, of Fremont
as the candidate of its party for 1860.

JAMES BUCHANAN, THE PRESIDENT OF THE
PEoPLE.-Ths Cincinnati Enquirer says, if
Mr.. Buchanan has carried California he has a
greater number Of electoral votes than Van
Buren had when he was elected in 1886,
or Mr.. Polk when he was chosen in 1874, or
General Taylor when he was elected in 1848.
He has a larger popular majority over his
principal competitor than anycandidate for the
Presidency ever received. 1t will not be less
than four hundred thousand majority over
Fremont in the nation at large.
Sustained by so strong majority ofthe pop.
ular vote and of the electoral college, and
backed up by nineteen States out of the thir-
ty-one, Mr.. Buchanan commences his Ad-
ministration under the most fattering aus
pices.

: HE JUBILEE--DEMOCRATIC RE-


Last evening the Democracy Of our city
gave public expression to the Joy and graft
tude of their hearts at the triumphant cleo
tion of James Buchanan to the Chief Magis-
tracy OF the Nation. According to the pub
lisked order Of proceedings, the people as
sembled at the Court House Square amidst
the firing of cannon, the spirit stirring sound
of music, and the joyous shout of the gather
ing throng. Headed by the indianapolis
Brass Band and the Military Band the assem-
bled masses moved IN a dense column extend
ing the entire width of Washington street, to
the corner of Washington aud Illinois streets
and drew up in front of the Palmer House,
with three stunning cheers for Buchanan
and Breckinridge, and three more for the
Constitution and the Union.
Washington street, from the Court House
Square to the Palmer House, was lighted at
intervals of few rods each, with bonfres,
around which were gathered in broken
squads the younglings of the city, who ad-
ded to the life and hustle of the scene by
their noisy shouts and youthful hilarity.
Many of the buildings on either ide of the
street, were brilliantly illuminated. A
display of fireworks from the roofs of the
Wright House, the Sentinel Office and at
other points on Washington Street, added
much to the interest and enthusiasm Of the
proceedings.
Speeches were made from the balcony of
the Palmer House by Gov. Wright, Gov.
Willard, Hon. John Petit of Lafayette, and
Others. The whole space on both Washing
ton and Illinois Streets was denSely packed
with human beings eager to listen to the con-
gratulatoTy remarks of the speakers, and to
rejoice in the general demonstration of joy
at an event which has crowned the efforts of
the Democracy of the country with victory
The speeches were all in most excellent
taste for the occasion, and were received with
evident marks of satisfaction. The most ex
cellent feeling prevailed throughout the en-
tire evening, and when the purposes for
which the Democracy had assembled, had
been ful6 lied, the crowd dispersed and ."quie
again reigned in Warsaw"

The New York Tribune, under the i'm

should resign his seat in the Senate. Very
well-it is bad rule that won't work both
ways. Illinois has gone for Buchanan, and
by thirty thousand against Fremont and

say to this -.--l
