TRY Tive hear men occasional
ly using the term "Buchanan Whiqs."
A most ridiculous perverson of Ian
guage, says that staunch American
sheet, the Shelby News, and stupid
bungling of ideas. Buchanan Wing!
AS well talk of a Locofoco Wing, or
Tory Wings, or Calhoun Wings, or
Clay Locofocos! AS well talk ofwhite
negroes or pious devils! There is no
element of Whiggery in Mr.. Buchanan
&no element of Henry Clay Whgge-
ry in any man who would vote for him.
Buchanan has not the first spark of q
Wing element in his life, his character,
his head, his heart, his fingers, nor his
toes! If he had one drop of Wing
blood in his body he would open vein
and let it out! If Henry Clay were a.
live, and were to hear a man call him
self Buchanan Wing, he would crush
him by such scowl Of scorn as would
make him forget whether he was man
or mass of bungling inconsistencies.
Let the man who calls himself Buch-
anan Wing, paint visions of HENRY
CLAWS form standing before him, as
no utters it, and try the effect!

At meet;no Of Jackson Democro

At amceting of Jackson Democrats
held in Nashville, Tenn, on Tuesday
Of last week, it was resolved to join in
the procession Of the Fillmore party,
which took place in that city on Fri
day. They adopted as badge for the
occasion, Star and Ribbon, to be
worn on the breast of the coat. They
informed their friends that "Old Jack
son Democrats from the country who
may wish to join in the procession, can
be supplied with badges by calling on
those who may be seen on Friday with
the Star and Ribbon on"

EMIGRATION From VIRGINIA. Tho
Charleston, Va. Star, says the streets
OF that town are filled every day with
persons leaving Virginia for the West.
There has not been somuch emigration
for years from Virginia. Sometimes
there can be seen eight or ten families
moving together, who intend forming a
Virginia settlement of themselves in
Missouri, Kansas or some other portion
Of the West.

of the complexion of that meeting, and
venture the assertion that fiye-sixths
of them were Fillmore men. Mr..
Drinkard has written his own condem-
nation: eve might expect such as
sertions as these from ignorant parti-
sans, who have no regard for truth,
and no character to sustain. But that
a man recognized as a gentleman, and
protesting to be governed by Christian
principles, should make them is to be
regretted, and attributable only to po-
litical blindness"
Did Mr.. Drinkard know whom he
was writing this that he was making
mirror wherein to see himself?
lie says again that esMr. Pierpoint
talked as if he intended to do all he
could for Fremont instead of Fillmore"
That is not so, for he did not speak a
sentence in favor of either Fremont or
his party. That is "roorback" wor-

mated. Other papers will copy, and
call Mr.. 2. an abolitionist, and that

Mr.. Breckenridge, the Democratic candidate
for Vice President, is reported 10 have made a
speech in which he declared his belief that the
Republican party was in reality th e only party
that the Democracy had To Contend with. The
Republicans on the other hand consider Mr.
Buchanan AS the only opponent they have to
contend with. Both OF these representations
are based on that sectionalism which dislin-
guishes the two parties. Mr.. Breckenridge is
panderng TO Southern secIionalism, and the
Republicans 10 the Northern enniiy to the
South. Kansas Is the great question that con-

Total,

This list includes all the German papers of
the country except 4, one of which is for Ben
ton-the other undecided. What will those
fellows, Chapman & Co.. say, who have
crowed so Justify over the premature announce
ment, that Fremont had taken the Dutch3" =
Union and american.
The above statement is not so favorable
for Buchanan as the Union and american
appears to think. The Cincinnati Com
merciat of the It'll inst, republiShes list of
the German papers referred to, with the
remark
at will be remembered that in 1852, the
entire German press, with the exception OF
very few obscure and little papers and one or
two of some note and responsibility, was
warmly 10 favor of Mr.. Pierce"
So there has been a radical change in
the German press, and the democracy is
suffering materially from it. But, it must
not be assumed that because the press is
about equally divided, the German voters
are also equally divided. The Commercial
says that is not the proper conclusion, and
adds:
Among the Buchanan papers we find but
three, viz the New York Staats Zeitung; New
York Criminal Zeitung and Philadelphia Dem
ocrat, which have a large circulation out OF
the State in which they are printed. While
of the Fremont papers, ten, viz: the Abend
Zeituug, New Zeit and Stats Democrat, of
New York City, and the Albany Freie Blaet
ter, and the Atlantic; the Philadelphia Freie
Presse the Hoch wsechter aud Turnzeitung,
of Cincinnati, aud the two Religious papers,
Christian Apologize (MethodisD and Frehe
Botshafter Omitted Brethren) of Ohio, have
each very large circulation and wide infiu-
ence, not only in the States where printed, but
through the entire northwest.
Fremont is, we believe, bound to get the
great body of the German voters. Their
loss to Mr. Buchanan, together with losses
of native free-soilers, and other fanatics,
who helped to swell the tremendous vote
of Mr.. Pierce, will leave him high and dry,
in the free States, without a reasonable
hope of salvation.

A CURIOUS FAoT.-A fact, brought to light
by the recent organization of the Board OF
Trade of Central Indiana, well illustrates the
vast Importance of her present system of rail
roads to the development and growth of that
enterprising State. 1t seems that, of the nine
ty-one counties in Indiana, the inhabitants OF
eighty can leave home in the morning, go to
Indianapolis by railroad, attend to business
there from two to eight hours, and return
home the same evening The amount of money
which has been put into the pockets of her
people also, above that which was in Crcula
ton anterior to the completion of these roads,
can be counted only by millions. Push for
ward the Tennessee roads!

Who doubts that another bargain and in
trigue, equally Infamous with the one he
proposed to General jackson in 1925, was
entered into between themY By this cor
rupt understanding, the Convention are to
put forth seemingly sound platform, with
the view of catching the South, while Mr..
Buchanan is to hook on the squatter SOW
ereignty paragraph Of bis letter, with spe-
cial reference to the North. The Conven-
ton could not play this bold game alone.
1t is two-handed game. The Conven-
ton will do its part, but Mr.. Buchanan
must do his If the South objects to the
letter, it will be pointed to the platform.
of the North finds fanlt with the platform,
it will be referred to the letter and the
candidate.
Now, is not this duplicity enough to sick
en- the minds Of all honest men? How
long will the calm thinking people of the
country endure to be thus bamboozled
We call upon all good men of all parties
to put the seal of their indignation and dis
pleasure upon such acts of shameless double
dealing.
We utterly deny the doctrine Of Mr.. Bu-
chanan's letter 1t is not the doctrine of
the South. 1t is not constitutional doc
trine. 1t is the principle of Northern Sec
tionalists, and of them only We deny
that "the people of IL Territory, like those
of State" have the right to legislate on
the subject Of slavery. 1t is the Southern,
constitutional doctrine, that the people of q
territory have this right only when they come
to frame their local constitution. But the
people of State are not restricted to this
occasion. Their ordinary Legislature may
abolish or establish slavery, or pass laws
to regulate it. After Territory has framed
its Constitution and been admitted into
the Union, it becomes State and ceases
to be Territory, and then, and not till
then, does its legislation become like that
of other States. This is the true South
ern ground, but such is not the ground OF
Buchanan, the two Van BurenS and the
entire FreeSoil Democracy of the North.

onstration of their dispeasure. They accordingly
procured the pants of Mr.. Buchanan, a grocery
keeper, and a democrat as before mentioned, and
the coat of another individual, and performed the
elevating process which has raised the dander Of
the Union and American, and particularly the
slumbering fires of the mighty Alexander Of dread
ful memory.
Our reasons for intimating possible knowledge
of the contemplated procee iings by the terrible
Alexander, (Shads of ST. Patrick protect us) are
that he manifesis a more intimate knowledge Of
the transaction than any other person who was
not present; testi6es to what only an eye witness
could have known, and was absent from his room
on the night of the occurrence till ii or IL o'clock
To the candid public this statement Of the facts
viii doubtless prove satisfactory. Gentlemen who
act with the democracy, know how to receive this
disclaimer of any intention to unnecessarily to EN-
bitter the political contests in which the country is
engaged. From such shall hear nothing more
about this transaction till now Misunderstood But
from the walike nsmesske Of an illustrious proto-
type, we may expect to hear the dread sounds OF
blood and carnage. We must prepare to meet the
awful consequences OF MS 0lreIul WRATH. Inc
hero of Mubery-the veracious and indignant
Alexander-name of terrific impors-can't be ap-
peased. So Americans, "stand from under" or be
will be down upon you like Thousand of brick"
Laying badinsge aside, it is obv ous to all that the
object of this Mr.. G. W. Alexander in bearing
false testimony against the Americans was to ex-
cite the just indignation Of the sober and rejecting
classes against the party charged with the guilt Of
this transaction.
Processing pure regard for the principles of
propriety and morality, he violates with bold as
surance and bare-faced effrontery, an important
precept of the decalogue, and the golden rule OF
the christian religion. Even had the perpetrators
Of the act complained Of, belonged to the Ameri
can party, and hung the efigy as indiguity to
Mr.. Buchanan, it would have been base ediluany to
charge the act of two three thoughtless indvid.
uas, excited, perhaps, by democratic liquor, upon
party embracing as much political honesty, per
sonsl integrity, purity and intelligence, has
been the boast Of political organisation.

tract:

vote for Fillmore and DonelsOn than for Cen
try last August. think we will cut down
the majority against US fully one-half. Hur

The MADN FAMLY.-It should not be
forgotten that Mr.. Fillmore, during his ad-
ministration, interceded with the Grand
Duke Of Tuscany and obtained the release
of the Madai family who had been impris-
oned in Italy for the crime of reading the
Protestant Bible. The whole Protestant
world sympathized with the suffering fam
lily and rejoiced when they were restored
to freedom.

Squatter Sovereignty.

The Union and american warmly COM
mends the late speech of Gov. johnson.
Inasmuch as the Governor supported the
doctrine Of Squatter sovereignty, it is i'm
portant to know to what extent our neigh
Dor desires to be understood as approving
and endorsing what he said Does the
Union and american agree with the Gov
ernOr upon this important principle, or
does it still regard Squatter sovereignty as
Unconstitutional and "odious to the
South" If it retains its former opinions,
why does it not take issue with Gov. John
son? If squatter sovereignty, as Mr..
Calhoun alleged. is more dangerous than
the WilmOt Proviso, are not Southern men,
whether democrats, Americans or wings,
who support it, jeOpardizing the rights of
the South, by weakening the opposition to
it, amongst their friends? Is not the fact,
that the Union and american, which re-
CARDS this doctrine apparently with horror,
has nothing to say against Gov. Johnson's
support of it, an evidence of the evil infu,
ence which its support by leading Southern
men, must have? Shall the support of an
abominable principle-a principle destruc-
tive of Southern rights-by party leader,
small or great, seal the lips of those of his
party who differ with him?
To give our readers some idea of the OPP
position to Squatter Sovereignty amongst
democrats, we republish the following:
