The HOME OF THE PaEs1DENT.-In the absence of
the full proceedings We copy from the Pennsyva-
man the following account of the democratic
Vention Of Lancaster county, Penn, held on Wed.
nesday last:
One of the most gratifying results of the present
struggle in State is the unanimous endorsement
of the Presidents Kansas policy, by the democratic
convention of Lancaster county. The friends and
ncighbors Of Mr.. Buchanan have thus testified their
continued confidence in the wisdom of his political
course, the purity of the motives by which he has
been governed in his endeavors to bring Kansas into
the Union under the Lecompton constitution, and
thus end at and forever the difficulties which
have too long distracted that unhappy country
The democracy of Lancaster county deserve infinite
credit for their adherence to the President at this
critical juncture in the affairs of the nation.
We have not a full copy of the resolutions, but
they are in substance as follows:
They endorse President Buchanan's message. and
declare that it is in accordance with the principles
of the Cincinnati platform, and the admission of
Kansrs under the Lecompon constitution is the only
way to settle the difficulty.
They call upon the democracy of the home of
James Buchanan to sustain his admi istraton, &C..
and thus sweep away the last vesge of abolitionism
and black republicanism.
They also endorse the action Of Senator Bgler,
characterizng his reply to Senator Douglas on the
Kansas question as mastery effort ,-...-..-,.
The convention was an unusually full one, and
the enthusiasm in favor of President Buchanan was
most marked and emphatic.

Secret sOeieties Organizing In Ireland.


The last mails from Europe bring intelligence
among other things, of an alleged Secret Soeie-
ty which has sprung up in Ireland for seditious
and revolutionary purposes, and which, among
other features, Is said to include an oath not to
reveal to the priesthood any of its plans We
give the rnmor as it comes to US in the files of
English journals. That Ireland at the present
time is substantially more prosperous than it has
ever been, is considered by some of our cotem-
pOraries as reason for discrediting this story
altogether. We cannot concur, however, in
such view Ireland is prosperous, it is true.
The Encumbered Estates bill which took effect
IN lS49, has to large extent, displaced the old
pauper and bankrupt race of landholders, ,substi-
tuting in their place much of enterprise and
thrift But this very displacement has turned
adrift and set to scheming some of the worst
part of the population of the Isand-rnen to
whom sedition would be a work Of love, and
revolution return to supremacy. 1t cannot
be thought that so radical change in the prop
erty-holding of a large kingdom has been eff
fected IN the short space of ten years, and vet
left no trace of the irritations consequent upon
such social uprooting. 1t will not surprise us,
therefore, at any time to hear that the rumored
Secret Society has largely invaded the tenantry
classes; that it has at its head the extirpated
chiefs of the old feudal estates, and that it is
source of deep disquietude to the new regime
of landlords, not less than to the Tory govern
ment. The nature of the oath that is recited,
would suggest that the priesthood do not favor
the movement, but rather ally themselves with
the property-class who have come into recent
possession. This would still less surprise us,
for statistics show that the purchasers under
the Eneumbered Estates Bill are not, as many
have thought. foreign capitalists, but natives,
who, as merchants and professional men, have
grown wealthy, and who may be supposed to
syInpathize with the religion in which they
were born and bred. We shall look with in
terest to the mails of the next steamer, and
CLEAN what we may of the facts for our readers.
