Nj. Buchanan and the Bankrupt Inv.

1t lis a remarkable circumstance of
this canvass, that the efforts of the
opposition press against Mr.. Buclan-
an, are directed mainly to the object
Of convicting him of completely in
measures OF whig policy. Such a
course of attack not onlyIinvolvessthe
grossest inconsistency on the part OF
the opposition, butEtixes upon them
the blacker and more indelible stigma
Of attempting to wound Mr.. Bnchan-
an through the side Of tic most Illus.
trouss of their departed leaders.
Thus, the Wing Of Friday last con-
tains an article from another paper,
of which the object is TO itnplicate the
Democratic candidate nIthe passage
of the Infamous Bankrupt Law OF

under Wing incubation during the
brief reign ofthe famous Extra SEES

We have the best news from our sis
ter State Indiana. The Democracy
are aroused and working with q vigor
and animation that cannot fail to have
the happiest results. Those glorious
Democrats Gov. Wright, Lent. Gov.
Willard, and Hon. John L. Robinson,
have taken the field, and are uaking
the most effective speeches in every
part of the State never before in the
history ofHthat proud young State
have the indications Of p great popu-
lar Democratic triumph been more
promising. Indiana will not only
vote for Buchanan by an immense
majority, but the gallant Willard (who
is now candidate for Governorl will
be elected at the State election Ito be
held on the second Tuesday Of Oct..)
and with him . Democratic delega-
ton in Congress, and a handsome
Democratic majority in the State Leg
islature. The Hoosier Democracy

We profess to5bc acquainted with the
leading Democratic spirits ofIIndiana
and more talented eloquent and nat
ional Democrats can't be found in any
State in this Union. M .E
Hon. John L. Robinson has done
much for the great principle of State
and Territorial rights as declared in
the Kansas Nebraska bill. He took
the stump in his own State early in
| the year 1854 in yindication ofpop-
ular sovereignty. during which he
was the special champion Of the old
Simon pure Democracy and conse
quently the recipient Of the most vile
SANDERS that the unciyilized mass OF
Abolitionists, Know Nothings and
God defying political preachers could
invent. Under all this weight he
stands like the noble and sturdy oak
/ that has stood the storms Of many d

We say to the Democracy Of Indiana
be Of good cheer Kentucky will join
you in swelling the majority for Blu
chanan, and her own gifted and gal

name Of whom inspires in the bosom
Of a Kentuckian a feeling of pride. ~

Masonic Incident.

= Il is q beautiful theme to contem.
plate the power of the s'mystic tie''
which binds together the members Of
the Masonic family. History has yet
: to.record the first instance of Free
Mason proving reereant to his frater-
mai. obligation, and disregarding the
appeal Of his brother when in peril
and in danger Of his life. However
regardless Of his duties in the trans
actions Of every day life a Mason may
be to his brother mason, there is q
certain significant, mysterious Ian
guage, known onlytothe brotherhood,
which, whenever circumstances have
rendered necessary that it should be
used, has never failed in calling into
exercise those feelings Of friendship
and. affection which nnpel us to at
tempt toihelp our brother in time of
need, even though at the risk and
hazard Of our own life.
THE love of David and Jonathan,
recorded in the inspired volume, por-
trays truly the strength Of Masonic
affection; but how many cases have
occurred in the historysof the world
in which Masons have imperilled and
lost their lives in the endeayor to save
4 brother, Of which no record has
been made. The instances, however.
which have been preserved, in which
life has been saved through the
strength Of this mysterious influence,
are not few. tits not only an ciyili-
zed life that we find the influence of
the mystic tie draw forth from the well
Of the heart the strong sympathies of
our afectionate nature in favor of q
brother, but it has also been known
to exert its potent power in the breast
Of the child Of the forest, and arrest
the hand already lifted up to slay. -

brated Mohawk Indian, and Col.
