our government and The governments Of
those States within whose dominion it hes.
We can under 10 circumstances, surrender
our prepondereuce in the adjustment of all
questions rising out of it.
Resolred, That in view of so com
manding an interest, the people of the
United States cannot but sympatllise with
the efforts which are being made by the
people of Central American to regenerate
that portion of the continent which covers
the passage across the inter-ocean 18TH
mus. -- ..
Resolced That the Administration of
Franklin Pierce has been true to Demo
cratic principles, and therefore to the great
interests of the country; in the face of Vi
olent opposition he has maintained the
Laws at home, and indicated the rights
of American citizens abroad; and there
fore, We proclaim our unqualified admlra-
tien of his measures and policy. r.
Resolred, That the Democratic party
will expect of the next administration that
every proper effort will be made to insure
our assendency in the Gulf of Mexico, and
to maintain permanent protection to the
great outlets which are emptied into its
waters the products raised out of the soil
and the commodities created by the indus
try of the people of our western valleys,
and the Union at large.

Coon 'SELL"-The New York Express
editor attended the late German Fremont
gathering in the Tabernacle, and the next
day his paper came out with most dis
gushing caricature of it insulting to the en-
inent Germans who were chief in calling
the meeting, insulting to those In atten-
dance, and outraging the public generally
by its abuse of foreigners who had the
manliness to declare for Fremont. The
paper containing this disgusting article, of
course, sold like hot cakes, and the publish
ers found it necessary to issue another large
edition. One friend-so the paper an
nounced in its next Gays issue-took fift-
teen thousand copies and from that it
was inferred how approvingly the public
looked upon such onslaughts on the Ger
mans. But the secret soon came OUT
those fifteen thousand copies were ordered
and paid for by an agent of the Central
Fremont Committee; ten thousand were
given away gratuitously among the Ger
man voters in the l1th and17th Wards of
the city, and the other 5000 were sent to
Pennsylvania as Fremont electioneering
documents. Thus was the viper made to
sting itself to death. 1t is said that article
would make ten thousand votes for FIRE.

FOR SLAVERY.
BUCHANAN PLATFORM.

The Cincinnati Convention, of June,
1856, which nominated James Buchanan
for the Presidency, after reiterating the
Pierce "Baltimore Platform" of 1854,
rcpudiated "River and Harbor Improve
ments, a National Bank, the distribution
of the proceeds of the public lands" &c.
DC, adopted the following in addition, as
the Buchanan Platform.
Whereas, Since the foregoing declara-
ton was uniformly adopted by our prede-
ccsssors in National Convention, an ad-
verse political and religious test has been
secretly organized by a party claiming TO
be exclusively Americans, and it is proper
that the American Democracy should clear
" define its relations thereto and declare
its determined opposition TO all secret po-
litical societies, by whatever name they
may be called:
Resoiced, That the foundation of this
Union of States having been laid in its
prosperity, expansion and prc-eminent ex-
ample in free government, built upon en-
tire freedom in matters of religious con-
Germs, and no respect to persons in regard
to rank or place of birth, no party can
Justly be deemed national, constitutional,
or in accordance with American principles,
which bases its exclusive organization upon
religious opinions and accidental birthplace.
And hence a political crusade in the nine
teenth century, and in the United States
of America, against Catholics and for
eignborn, is neither justified by the past
history or the future prospects of the coun-
try, nor is in unison with the spirit of toll
Grafton and enlarged freedom which pecu-
Iiarly distinguished the American system
of popular governments
Resolced, That we reitcrate with renew
ed energy of purpose the wellconsidered
declaration of former conventions upon the
sectional issue of domestic slavery, and
concerning the reserved rights Of the
States.
Resolced, That Congress has no power
under the Constitution, to interfere with
or control the domestic institutions of the
several States, and that such States are the
Sole and proper judges of everything ap-
pertaining to their own affairs, not prohib-
tied by the Constitution, that all efforts of
the abolltionists or Others, made to induce
Congress to interfere with questions of sla-
very, or to take incipient steps in relation
thereto, are calculated to lead to the most
alarming and dangerous consequences; and
! that all such efforts have an inevitable

wives of the diabolical murderers Of their
parents and friends" The committee of
investigation found the negroes in posses
sion of arms and ammunition, their motto
being, leave not shadow behind. y
They were to rise on the 9th, complete
their work of death and phnder, and flee
to Mexico. Happily the plot was discov-
cred and frustrated. More than two hum
drcd negroes were implicated, and three Of
the ringleaders were taken and hung on the
5th. Every Mexican in the county was
arrested and sent off, never to return under
penalty of death. The Vigilance Commit

of the Mexican population are incendaries

should be delt with accordingly"

JOHN BRoUGH's OPINIoN.-Unpalata-
bic as it is to the Buck-African corporation,
will have to be administered, and fit does
cause considerable retching and squirm-
ing, you'll have to swallow it, and get used
to it too-for there's more of tile same
sort where it came from.
A few days ago John Brough was in
this place, and one of our citizens invited
him to address the Republican meeting of
the 18th. Mr.. Brough replied that it was
no use to make speeches now; that the
question was already settled as to who
would be our next President; and that if
any sensible man had any doubts upon his
mind the news from Maine, just received,
ought to eradicate them. He said be had
some experience in political matters; knew
somewhat how to Judge of events by the
signs of times; considered that a current OF
Northern and Free sentiments was at work,
such as would sweep everything before it;
and that this current was as irresistible
and would be as overwhelming as that
which washed the face of the Republic in
1S49. Abiding to that particular period,
he said, further, that in 1910 he stumped
the State of Ohio for Mr.. Van Buren, dur
ing which canvass he made l2l speeches;
that during a great part of that time he
was working without faith; that he then
predicted the defeat of the Democratic can
didate and that the signs Of the times
NOW indicated tie same state Of affairs
hey Indicated THEN! He also said that he
intended to make but one political speech
this campaign, and he would make it at
Cincinnati short time before the election.

LET ALLREAD AND DECIDE JUSTLY
FOR FREEDOM.
REPUBLICAN PLATFORM,

adopted by the Republican National Con-
pention, Philadelphia, June II, 1856.
'This Convention of Delegates, assem-
bled in pursuance of call addressed to
the people of the United States without
regard to past political differences or diyi
sions, who are opposed to the repeal of the
Missouri Compromise; to the extention of
slavery into free territory; in favor of the
admission of Kansas as Free State; of
restoring the action of the Federal Gov
eminent to the principles of Washington
u -AJeferson; and for the purpose of pre-
Sc. candidates for offices of President
and Vice President, do
81. Resolve, That the maintenance of
the principles promulgated in the Declara-
tion of Independence and embodied in the
Federal Constitution, are essential to the
preservation of our Republican institutions,
and that the Federal Constitution, the
rights Of the States, and the Union of the
States shall be preserved.
80. Resolved, That with our Republ;-
can fathers we hold it to be sclf-evident
truth that all men are endowed with GER
tain unalienable rights of life, liberty and
the pursuit of happiness, and that the pri-
mary object and liIterior design of the Fed
eral Government were to secure those rights
to all persons within its exclusive jurisdic-
ton; that as our Republican fathers, when
they had abolished slavery in all our Ma
tional Territory, ordained that no person
should be deprived of life, liberty or pro
perty, without due process of law, it be-
comes our duty to maintain this provision
of the Constitution against all attempts to
violate it for the purpose of establishing
Slavery in the territories of the United
States, by positive legislation, prohibiting
its existence or extension therein. That
we deny the authority of Congress, of a
Territorial Legislature, of any individual
or association of indiyiduals, 10 give legal
assistance to Slavery in any Territory of
the United States, while the present Con-
stitution shall be maintained.
.3. RESOLVED, That the Constitution
confers upon Congress, sovereign power
over the Territories of the United States for
their government, and that in the execise
of this power it is both the right and the
entire duty of Congress to prohibit in the
Territories those twin relicts Of barbarism
-Polygamy and Slavery.
"a. Resolued, That while the Consti.
tuition of the United States was ordained
and established by the people in order tc
form a more perfect union, establish jus
tice, insure domestic tranquility, provide
for the common defence, promote the gen
eral welfare, and secure the blessing of Lib
erty,' and contains ample provisions for ths

Bucbauan as n Soldier,

The democrats attempt to make the i'm
preston that Buchanan was soldier of
the war of 1612-that though he spoke
against the war, he redeemed himself by
fighting in it. There is not a word OF
truth in this story. The fact Is, he was Il
member of military company IN Penn
svlyania. and when that company was call
ed into service, lie backed OFT and refused
to 90. The company to which he belong
ed went off to Canada and fought at Lun-
dv's Lane, and other places, and he stayed
at home. The war of 1912 lasted three
years, and it ragged all around him, while
he was a young man subject to military
duty, and if he had any spirit in him, he
would have done some service for his coun-
try.
We have the proof furnished by Penn
syEania paper, published in the same
county where Buchanan was born:
From the Frederic My Examiner.
We clip the following from the Cham
bersbure, Pa, Repository q Transcript, a
newspaper published for the last sixty odd
years in the same county where Mr.. Buch-
anan was born and which is reasonably
presumed to know something Of his peron-
al history. 1t must be borne in mind that
the sham Democracy claim great credit
for their nominee on the score of being an
''old defender"
The Philadelphia Argus rejoices that
James Buchanan was not too much of a
FedeIalist to shoulder his muskct and
march to the defence of Baltimore in Is
IA. If the Argus can show that Jas. Bu-
chanan ever saw Baltimore that year we'll
deny that Franklin county gave him birth.
Mr.. Alex. w. Hood, an early friend and
neighbor of James Buchanan, but at pres
ent residing few miles south of this city,
relates, that in August, 1914, several vol
unteer companies, in response to the call
for troops, met at place of rendezvous i'll
Franklin county, Pennsylvania, for the pur-
pose of forming a battalion to proceed in
defence Of the country TO the Canadian
frontier, and that james Buchanan who
was member af the '.Mercersburg Volun-
teer Rifle Company" and about twenty
Others BACKED OUT AND REFUSED
TO GO. Mr.. Hood remembers the cir
cumstance perfectly, and heard a number
of young men TAUNT MR.. BUCHAN-
AN FOR HIS COW.ARDICE. The
companies marched off without Buchanan
and his recreant party. Mr.. Hood went
with the companies, and was at the famous
battles of ChippeWa and Lundv's Lane. at
the latter of which he received bayonet
wound in the right side, the honorable scar
of which he yet bears.
So, it appears that Hon. James Buchan-
an is not entitled to the credit of being
one of Baltimore's gallant defenders" but
that when called upon to serve his country
in the hour of need, he positively refused,
although trained as citizen soldier, TO
take up arms in her defence. He has ever
been ready to reap the spoils of victory,
but never did aught to deserve them.
