We come forward to remind our Democratic
friends of the importance of organization and Of
continued vigilance and exertion Let us not become
indifferent or supine on account of recent large
majority. The voters were nearly all out at the
August election-can we induce them all to come
out again in November? We fear not The Pres.
dental vote is always smaller than the State vote
But if we can poll anything like our full strength,
the State will be safe by large majority for Buchan
an. The people, though apparently calm, are taking
deep interest in the contest Let that interest be
increased, by discussions, by conversations, byn.
presentations of the results which must ensue from
Fremont's triumph; and our word for it the people
will crowd to the polls. All that is necessary toen
sure full vote, is to tsel We all should, the i'm.
mense importance of the issues to be decided.
We trust that the Democratic Electors and Sub.
Electors, who are not already at work, will take
the field soon, and devote their energies on the stump
to the cause. A vigorous CANVASS during the month
OF October will be great service in bringing outs
full vote. Democrats have every thing to gain and
nothing to lose, by discussion.
DR.. BENJAMIN Brown WILLIAMS IN LANCASTER!
GREAT Exc1TEMENT.-The Raleigh Register con-
tains report Of Fillmore meeting recently heldin
Lancaster, Pa, and which was addressed by Dr. B.
Brown Williams, formerly of this State. 1t was Of
course tremendous meeting, and DR.. Williams
made a tremendous speech-all of which, is it not
duly chronicled in the Register? Among other
things, it seems DR.. Williams "Tod them tina:
slavery was national because it was constitution,
and all the South wanted, in his opinion, wss the
constitutional right to carry their property intoIe'
ritories. The Territories equally belong to them,
and it would be the extreme of injustice if they
could not do SO; and with emphasis, he remarked
let me tell you the South soil never submit to any
thing else."
Now, that sounds very we'll, and would have
force, coming from Buchanan man; but does not
DR.. Benjamin Brown Williams know that the kaI'
sas Nebraska act, which opened the common Terri
tories to the people Of the South, is denounced O'
Mr. Fillmore as the cause of all the 'evils that now
aflict the country?" If Mr.. Fillmore had mad u"
way, the people of the South would never have pos
sessed the constitutional right" which DR.: VIZ
liams estimates so highly, to carry their properly
into the common Territories. We are surprise"
the Registers publishing such sentiments Wl'no''
comment. Why did il not remind the Doctor 'D''
the Know Nothing platform expressly denou"s
the act by which this constitutional right v"
secured?
We see that they have been having Democranc sp.
meeting at Cincinnati, and that Mr. Breckindge .n s
didate of that party for Vice President, was am0Hs
speakers. h.pr
It strikes u.s. that Mr. Breckenridge considering ,n
ston he occupies would have been more sul1s93 Mr
at his farm. W. He .
We are gratifed to see that Mr.. BreckinnoS' ~.
in the field, speaking for the Constitution a'u
Union; and that he will devote much OF his "~'.
the Northwestern States, where efforts in this ,'s w.
are just now needed. The Herald is trouoeu
cause Mr.. Breckenridge has thus taken the ns' :.n
it be improper in him, how much more so va, 'h.f
Mr.. Fillmore, who made speeches in bis own .,br
from the time he landed in New York until Dew ID
ed Bufalo9 And Andrew Jackson done's0" . ~
he not speak and write, until his friends, ou' ri,
gard for their cause, had to silence him! Dr' .s1
is an extraordinary crisis, and it is the duty lii.
citizen to raise his voice in behalf Of the WV.
ton How would the Herald like to stake ~. :" md
suit on the comparative powers of Breckl''no l,r

and genius.
