Lancaster has been hcncred for about the tenth
time since the Adjournment OF the Cincinnati Con
ver'ion, with the presence Of eUat demolishcr of
Eiropeen thrones and builder up.of American Pre-
hi''enss. George N. Sanders Fcrney and Sanders
ae at present The consultative jpnsa and intimate
advisers of the elect Of .he democracy. With the
ard Of sanders, Bob Tyler and others OF that con-
vivial and hungering clique who are employed to
sing his praises in Mr.. Rushanao's ears Forney
hopes to retain his controlling influence over the
democratic platform.
The great trouble at Wheatland just now is
about New Yolk and the New York, HEnALD
The question is, what ia to be done with these re-
iractoy elements. Sanders and Forney want to
start great central metropolitan organ to neutral
ize The influence of the HERALD Sanders is to be
edi'or--tnat is to say. he will wear the honors,
whilst SINE one else will do the drudgery 1t is
really edfying to listen to the spe, ,ulations which
this notable scheme founded. Mr.. Bennett,
they say, was in the market, and was to he had
cheap for several weeks after the nomination.
Forney and Sanders were confident tnat the
bargain could be effected, aud tnat the HERALD
would in Que c,urse declare Itself for Buchanan.
This ioea beng scou,ed by some Of the cooler heads
Nho t-timated ,etter be character OF the they
had 10 joai with. pr, ject was next suggested of
pur hasiLg out either the HERALD or Tunes. 1t
was asserted, with what truth you yourselves best
know, that The HERALD could be had for $500 600,
and the Iinats fur s2b0,OO0. Sanders ana Forney
hsd offered $l70,O0O for the Times, and had $l40O0O
snbs crlbe1 towards the purchase. Some for
stntiLg lew daily organ but it feared that it
would have no chance OF making headway against
the long established iufu, nee OF the HERALD. This
s some Of the small tplk which Is heard amongst
The politicians who assemble in front Of Mchaels
hotel, the headquarters Of the Buchanan
meD Whatever difference there may he as to details
there is no doubt that the subject has been very
earpos Ny and warmly discussed at Wheatlaid, 1t
s even stated that the Consultation Junta settled
tie matter defnitively last evening. You may.
therefore, consicer yourself purchased up, without
tl.Iiher notice.
John Van Buren was here last week to have talk
with the Junta at Wheatleand. John assured
them that New York was all right and that the
democracy was unit The Prince regretted the
speech OF Governor Wise, Of Virginia, ON the price
OF niggers, and the use that had been made OF 1t
by the HERALD He had no doubt, however, that
New York would turnout loyal and true in spite ofthe
HLKALD ana the niger business. 1t is whispered
that John himself has large stake OF this kad in the
success oi Buchanan. He has either entered into,
or safout 3 enter into, large plantation purchase
c.piom.ly with gentleman of South Carolina. i
re TIC s'"e, u - .nA philosophy of mis- omar
rell.ng with Governor wises myser calculations.
Amongst the late visiters to WheatIand are Lo-
rcnzo 9 Shepard, of New York, who is n membe
Of the Consolation Junta, VIM. B. Reed, of Phili
delphia, OF ballot box stuiIing notoriety, and VIM
b. Richie OF the Richmond Enquirer and his cara
sposa the beautiful and talented Anna Cora
Mowatt.)
Besides these, the place Is inundated with seedy
politicians, hungerng and thirsting after the loaves
and fishes, and iawning upon the self made Cabinet
Minister'S whom they think have influence near the
throne. The majority Of them are the fag end Of
the old line ~higs-a sorry accession to the rauks
OF any party.
A strong effort is being made by the Bachanan
leaders 20 bolster up and give importance to few
Fillmore Americans, VINO, though secretly for the
democratic candidate, are to receive q. reward for
keeping up q Fillmore exctsement, so as to lead to
Il beliei that considerable portion OF the party
intend TO vote Tor Mr. Fillmore. These are pititu
tactics and are certain to end badly. When Mr
Buchanan VAS frat nominated, and the impression
prevailed that Mr. Fmare would he the principal
opposition candidate against him, Mr.. Fillmore and
his friends resied and traduced, and the demo
Gratis were TO go with the old line wings t. carry tue
county Tor Buchanan and the county Offices against
the dark laatern trait rs.r But now since the old
line wings have repudisted tne platform, and 60
with will Tor the peoples candidate, John c. Ere
nent, none are so mean and craven as the old liners
and lone more patriotic than the Fillmore Amcri-
cans. The Bucharan leaders of the county are very
attentive and obsequious to two or three small law
yers who at the head Of the latter. Yet with all
their drilling and boasting and their efforts 20 keep
up the FILLMORE excitement IL was as much as they
could do 10 keep their county convention from open
ly declaring for Fremont From the present ap-
pearance OF things and anti Buchanan county ticket
will be voted, an the county win give a majority
Tor Fremont over Buchanan of from three to four
thousand.
Have the readers Of the HERAIr my recollection
Of the proceedings Of the Democratic County Con-
vention which was held In Lancaster on the lst OF
September, lsl7, to settle ticket for the then ap
preaching election II they have, they will rcmem-
ber how Pennsylvania favorite then stood with
"the unterrifean On that occasion Mr.. Frazer
manfnlly declared, amidst the loudly ringing cheers
of the Convention, that "after the democracy Of
Penns, vania had abored earnestly and spent their
money profusely for james Buchanan, he had lett
them in tho dark. with hopes crushed and Efforts
n,utralized by his weakness. He refused TO give
anything 70 the support Of the party in ls45.
had refused 10 pay his taxes then. He was no
longer 9th them o. for them. And were the demo-
cracy he asked, ready TO declare themselves his
friends ,ch,n he ,cas hs friend af ne man there
Ths sentiments received with 80 much applause at
that Convention exrt in still greater force at the
pr ssent day and tia result of the election will prove
to you that ,hs favorite SON. Ia not 30 great IA
vorie in his own county as is generally supposed.
