THEY SHALL. HEAR OF IT. -The Sag NIGHT
organs manifest the greatest possible anxiety
to avoid the discussion Of the bargain and
corruption business of 1925. They twist and
turn in every direction to escape the subject
They are seeking desperately to draw rthe
attention of the American organs from it to
othc: matters. Perhaps they ilatter them
selves that they are to some extent successful
But we tell them now, that ifthcy thus llattcr
themselves, they are wolully mistaken. The
country will and shall hear Of Mr.. Buchanans
infamous and atrocious conduct in 1926, till
it ceases to hear of Mr.. Buchanan.
All, fellow citizens, how short sighted are
mortals How little can human beings, even
the most sagacious. sec into the fntue :.
When the leaders and organs Of the Demo
cratic party. from 1925 to 18Th, were relying
upon the bargain and corruption story as the
entire political capital, and the whole country
resoundcd with the charge of bargain and
corruption, did any mortal man dream of Il
time when the very words bargain and col
ruption would be as hateful to the cars of the
Democratic party as the Shrek of the ghost
Of murdered man to the cars Of the murder

INsPIRITING INTELLIGENCE.- The following
is an extract from business letter of ono of
the foremost men of all orr State:
CHERRY VALLEY, N. Y. July 10, 1856.
My DEAR Sir: il
Buchanan will not get Northern State,
mark that. Hundreds of Democrats are lcav-
ing him daily and joining the Fillmore and
Fremont parties. Conservative and Union
Democrats are alarmed for the safety of the
Union, and will vote ior Fillmore. The DIS
unionists of the North are to Il man for Ere
mont. and in the South for Buchanan. All
here admit Fillmore to be honest and capable
on the only candidate in whose hands the
Union would be safe.
The battle from Maryland to Missouri is
between Fillmore and Fremont; both arc
growing stronger daily, at tho expense Of
Buchanan. The cry went out from the Gin
cinnati Convention. no doubt by concert and
arrangement, East, West, North and South,
that Fillmore would not get Southern State;
it came near proving fatal to Fillmore. There
is now a powerful reaction. Thousands aic
joining the Fillmore ranks.

TIA G Great s'h!ebOtOInist

We copy the following from the ndepen-
dent Ifhig, published at Lancaster, Penusyl-
vania, where Hon. James Buchanan resides.
it is proof positive!
The lnteiligenccr the organ Of Mr.. Bu-
chanan, denies in furious language that Mr..
buchanan ever gave uttCrance 10 the dcclara-
ton that ''if he had drop of Democratic
blood in his veins he would let it out" and
abuses those who give cIeaencc to it with the
choicest phrases in the vocabulary Of billings
gate. But here is the statement of Il gentle
man, n citizen of Lancaster for more than 60
Yeas land born we believe here) man of
standing and cpcctability- unimpeachable
and unqucstionablc truth and vcracity, who
was an active Democrat when Mr. Buchanan
was leading Fcderalst, who saw and heard
Mr.. Buchanan make the declaration referred
to. Will the editor of the Intclligcnccr DARE
call in question either the standing or vcraci-
y'of this Witness !Will the organ Of Mr. Bu-
chanaa dare assa him or attempt to cast dis
credit upon his statement! This letter was
written, as will he seen in lS31--ovcr MIN
teen years ago, and Mr.. Mc(;llm is still living
here in the enjoyment Of both physical and
mental vigor, rs well of honesty earned COM
pctcncc and inlcpclcncc: and he will
affirm the above fact in regard to Mr.. Buchan-
an To any one who inquiries of him. But the
fact does not rest upon his testimony alone
There are plenty of others, Of indeed of equal
standing and responsibility, who can and do
sustain this statement.
LANCASTER, MAY 81 1896
DEAR SIR:-Iour favor Of yesterday was
duly received by me this morning, and in
reply to the questions which you have there
addressed to me, hasten to state that num-
Der Of Yeas ago, when the Federal and Dem
ocratc parties were nearly equally balanced
in this country, was passing by the Court
House one evening, and was informed bv some
persons that the Federalists were holding a
meeting in it at the time and that the Hon.
JameSBuchanan was adlressingIit Although
was anember of the Democratic party,
nevertheless wentia to hc al what he had TO say
because was always pleased with his dclvc-
ry and his manner Of speaking. | had not
been in the Court House long before he ecva-
ted his right hand above his head, and in an
emphatic manner exclaimed "ifI Mouchf
hGd Il drop Of Democratic biool IN ma rerls.
lar 0ud let ii out" remember this distinct
ly, because turned to some pei sons standing
near Inc at the time, and Observed What
a rash and improper expression that is for
any citizen to make on such an OCCASION -
| rccollcct it, too, because it was direct and
unprovoked attack upon the party to which
| was warmly and dcvotcdly attached. From
| that time ceased to entertain that respect
for Mr. Buchanan which | had formerly
done. Very respectfully,
ANTHONY McGIINN.
The editor Of the Inteligenccr should CON
tinue his abuse Of those who oppose Mr..
buchanan, and it will bring out some more
interesting facts that may prove equally
useful TO those who support the Democratic
nominee.

DELAwARE. The Wilmington journal al
luding to the recent Fillmore Meeting, in this
city, says that it proves that the patriotic
Wings Of Ii tile Delaware are not all dead yet;
but that recognizing in Willard Fillmore an
old and wcll-tric statesman Of the Wing
school, they are ready to take the field again,
and in the fullness of their strength and pu-
rity Of their principles to assist in clcvating
him to the Presidency of the United States
They look upon Mr.. Fillmore as the only con-
seryative and really national candidate now
before the people, and while rcvcrting to his
administration. while in the chair of State. as
one Of pride and satisfaction, they looked to
his success i'll the present struggle as being
essential to the perpctuity and safety Of the
American Union; TO Securc which they believe
it to be the duty of the Wings Of the United
States, to come forward and lend their aid"

aims. it is the doctrine ofevery purse proud
alistocrat- look upon the working man
as nothing but slave TO do their bchests and
crouch and cringc TO the god of their idolatry
-Mammon--and worship the owners Of dol
lars.--It is one of these whom Mr.. BUCHANAN
is--hs whole lfc has but illustrated 1t, and
when he made his speech in Congress, Of
which the above is a full and fair extract, he
was not only giving utterancc to the feelings
which Sur his old federal and arstocraiic
blood, hut he was advocating doctrine which
the class to which he belongs believe would
further their ends, and allow them to ride
over the necks of the pcoplc-kccp their SER
wants i'll livcry-apc the manners and habits
of European aristocrats, and eventually throw
the government into their hands so complete
" that it would be easy for them to obtain
such titles as ,'Iny lord this, and my lady"
that, and wipe out the last vcstigc o: Rcpub-
licanism from the land Are the people pre-
pared 10 see this advocate of such a doctrine
placed at the head of the government! viii
they by their votes sanction such Il scheme!
Win they in short vote for BrCHANAN, with
facts like the above before them ! At ten
cents day how would our Republican labor
crS livoe Would they he well housed well
fed, and well clothed as now! Would a
penny from those wages be spared daily for
that necessary Article in every family-a
newspaper! Would their tables be furnish
cd as now I! Would not their privilege Of
coiins al the potts he jcopardizcd, on account
of their inability to pay their share of the
government expenses, and would not onr
Legislation pass into the hands Of these aris-
toclatic opr,ssors? That is what BucHAE-
Az wants, and at the sacrifice of the comfort,
health and happiness of the people, he would
accomplish his cnds il lie could. But why
rnumcrate all the dire results which would
flow from such state Of things? The intclli-
gent laborcr will draw his own conclusions,
and vote accordingly.

THOMAS G. PRATT S PRoNUNClAMENTo.-If
any old line Wing can he convinced by the
paper Just put forth by Governor Pratt that
it is his duty to support the democratic can
didates for the Presidency, all that we can
say Of such Old line Wltig is. that he must
have a remarkably soft head an intellect
easily impressed by nonsense There is one
sentence in this paper which brtrays the mo-
tive which aullnateS the Ex-Governor. 1t is
this:
whilst | concede that there are certain
principles hitherto protcsScd by the party
which nominated them Buchanan and Brock
lnlldSe) that cannot receive our support, yet,
OF the great issues of the constitutional rights
OF the South the platform on which they stand
meets my cordial approval, and is in accor-
dance with that Of the party which now ad
dress, and to whose kind favor owe the hon
or OF holding the seat | now occupy, and
which | shall cease to hold after the 4th Of
March next by the fiat Of that party to which
MIR Fillmore has attached himself, and which
is now dominant in the LEGISLATURE Of my
native State
Mr.. Pratt on the 4th Of March next, will
have been in the Senate Of the United States
FOR one long and one short term, making to-
Sethcr more than seven years: and it Is evil
dent that he looked forward to life tenure
Of the office. But he has been disappointed.
The American party could not trust him.
lie 'halted between two opinions" and they
wanted no man to represent them who did
not give a cordial assent to their principles.
The last Legislature elected another to till the
place now occupied by Mr.. Pratt-and for
this offence he has turned democrat, and will
support Mr.. Buchanan. Had he been re-
chosen he would have sung a different tune.
Bat it matters little how he sngS--whethcr
for Buchanan or for any one clsc-hc has 10
influence, and cannot prevent the electoral
vote Of Maryland f,om being cast for Fillmore
and Doncson. HIS own county will give
large majority for these gentlemen: and so
will end The mighty effort OF Thomas G. Pratt
We shall not enter upon an examination OF
his publication, as we are satisfied that any
one who will read it carefully will be able to
detect its false premises and deduction, as
well as the selfish motives which have inilu-
enccd it. He will retire into private life on
the 4th Of March next, where he will be per
mittcd to remain during the balance Of his
life.-Chpper.

The opponents of the American party have
recently adopted a new dodge" Anumbcr
Of men in different parts of the country, who
are bitter and uncompromising opponents of
the American party, are seeking to disparagc
the prospects Of MIR. Fillmore and to brighten
tiinid and vacilating men from his support
by falsely representing that they would pre-
fer Mr.. Fillmore for President if there were
any chance of his election, but that, since
there is not, they have determined to vote
for Mr.. Buchanan. This is altogether Sag
Nicht trick. These men are wolves in
Sheep clothing. In this deceptive disguise
they approach the friends of Mr.. Fillmore
and thns seek to damp their ardor and to
lessen their hope Of success. We warn our
friends TO beware Of such trickstcrs. This
is the newest device of Sag Nrtchism to ar
rest il. possible the increasing popular anthu-
siasm III favor of Fillmore and Donelson that
CLOVIS in the hearts Of millions of our cour-
Try men. We say again that Fillmorc's
prospects Of success are far better than those
o.. any other candidate for the Presidency,
and the South will be compelled to choose
between Fremont and Fillmore which she
will have fol President. LouiSrWc Journd.
