AIRY INSTITUTION.

VIC iOrSot W HoCicey oI Ine Tune, the great
meeting of the Buchanan Democracy at Phila-
delphia, two weeks ago. but it is not yet too
late. We copy the account from the National
Inteltigencer, and the same one appeared in the
Eoening Star, of this city. 1t is not, there
fore, our version:
"The Democrats of Philadelphia availed
themselves of the anniversary of the Constitu-
ton, on Wednesday last, to make party dem
onstration. The gathering was very large and
the meeting was called to order at two o'clock,
when George M. Wharton was called to pre-.
side. He delivered an eloquent address.
A series OF resolutions, appropriate to the
occasion, were adopted; after which, ex- Gov
ernor johnson, of Georgia, made a speech of
two hours duration, giving the history of the
Federal Constitution, and declaring its most
important feature to be, the equality given to
every State of the Union. He contended that
the Constitution recognises slaves as property {;
that slave-owners going to Kansas have as
much right to carry htither their negroes, as
Northern man has to take yoke Of o1en. He
eutogieed Slavery as the greatest missionary
institution that eper eristed. Hhad Christian
ICED more souls than all the Christian missions
of the world combined
"Mr. johnson was followed by Governor
Floyd of Virginia, and Hon. Howell Cobb of
Georgia, at the main stand and by MIR. Rid
die of Massachusetts, and Mr.. Moore of Texas,
at the south stand, The speaking was contin-
ued throughout the evening by other speakers
At eight o'clock, the procession was formed
in Arch street, headed by the Keystone Club,
with huge bell mounted on a wagon, placard-
ed, I'VE are tolling the knell of Black Repub.
Gcanism." Following the Keystone Club, came
delegations from New York city; Trenton and
Beverly, New Jersey; Montgomery and Della
ware counties and Wilmington, Delaware"
" lsssohar is strong ass" There is no tell
ing what burdens the slsvery-ridden Democracy
of the North will not attempt to carry. We sug-
gest to the Keystone Club, that it recommend
its brethren in Pennsylvania to march to the
polls on the 18th October, with placards bear
ing in ietters, to be read of all men, GREE

EFFICIENT MISSIONARY INSTITUTION IN THE
WORLD" 1t may secure a good many votes
for James Buchanan among the working men
and the piops people.
Mr.. FORSYTH, editor of the Mobile (Ala.)
Register, recently appointed Minister to Mexi-
co, in an editorial taking leave of his readers,
declares that the South ought not to submit to
the election of Fremont:
90 verify believe that the integrity Of the
Federal Union depends upon the election, by
the popular vote, of James Buchanan. Should
the sectional candidate of the Black Republi-
cans succeed, believe, with that wise, cool,
aud veteran statesman, Lewis Cass, that the
South ought not to submit to it,
Every act of the Administration and Of the So
called Democratic Party shows that they are
in league with the Disunionists.
Mr.. Boris, in letter to the National Amer

After referring to his raving speech, to which
