or affect to believe. that the party is already
broken up and disorgsnixed. But they are
mistaken The result viii show that the
American Democracy have uot yet abandoned
their fayorite leader, and that the pillars which
uphold the party still promise to stand fast in
their ''place of power and beauty forever.
1t is indeed absurd to suppose that the Pres
idont will be abandoned by his party in the
present trying crisis. He has certainly as yet
done nothing to forfeit their confidence. 1t
is impossible that he should have any motive
for doing wrong In his letter accepting the
nomination for the Presidency from the Ma
tonal Convention, he declared his determi-
nation not to be candidate for re-nomina-
ton When his term of Office expires, he
will retire to the shades of private life, never
again to figure on the political arena. Under
these. circumstances it is not natural that he
should seek to do right in order to retire with
the appreciation of his countrymen, and to Sc
cure for tis administration an honorable place
in history of the nation that he should be
'.just and fear not" and aim at no other ends
but his Gods. his Countrys and Truths Z"
Democrats of Cambria, we ask you to stand
firm in the present crisis. Repudiate and op-
pose hasty and inconsderate action, and above
all do not abandon the statesman of your
choice without good and. sufficient cause
You were the first to pronounce in his favor
as the nominee of the party for the Presiden-
cy in 1856, aud nation of twenty-tbree mil
lions of frecmen approved and ratified your
choice. We are confident that you will act
independently and fearlessly in this matter,
even though you should incur the censure of
such Abolition leaders as Horace Greely and
W Ii Seward.

Sepoy Victims in England.

The Medical Times says; SIT has become
the fashion for certain writer's to throw doubts
npou the truth of the reports of the a trocities
committed by the Sepoy mutineers upon our
countrymen in India, 1t is said, that these
reports have come through native spies, have
been colored by the Indian press, and have
not been authenticated by European testimony
How far these arguments are worthy of credit
our readers may judge from the following
statement-We have been assured by med
ical friend that he has been consulted bv a
Lady who has recently arrived at Bayswater,
| from Iudia, whose nose has been cut off
Her child. three years old, has neither hands
nor feet; they were all cut off By the mutin-
GERS. How the child survived is a mystery,
The governess of the family escaped with the
loss of her ears, which were cut off as an esay
way of getting her earrings. Another friend
is attending lady whose nose has been slit
open, and her cans have been cut off, She
has brought homo to England three young
children, all blind. Their eyes have all been
gouged out by the Sepoys. We have heard
from another source, quite beyond question,
Ga lady who speaks from personal knowledge, }
that there are several ladies now in Calcutta
who have undergone such unspeakablc deg
radiation that they obstinately refuse to give
their names. They prefer to be thought Of
by their relations in England as dead. There
are also in Calcutta several young children
whose names are quite unknown, One little
creature says che is mammals pet, and tha,
is all VIC are ever likely to know Of her past
history"

to much imprudent aud unreasonable conduct
Thus extremes act and re act upon each
other and wher. the laws are deicd and Indl-
vidual action let loose, wrong, outrage ana
violence are necessary results.
The last phase of the Kansas question, when
is upon the constitution framed By Ierrltor-
ial Convention. is peculiarly for the Judgment
Of Congress, to wich the power OF admitting
new States is confdcd by the constitution of
the Union The representatives of the people
and of the States in Congress assembled, Will
meet that question under all the responsible
ties which they owe to their constituents, and
which are imposed upon them by their oaths
of Office and with full information upon mat
ters of fact important to the formation OF
final Judgment Events are constantly occur
ring in the territory which which will afford
matter for Con gressional debate. aud may
affect the ultimate decision.
TO the people of Pennsylvania the admis-
sion of q new State into the Union-lnto that
confederacy of which she is member-must
be at all times subject of high interest. And
/ believe | express their sentiments as well
as my own in declaring that all the qualified
electors of a Territory should have full and
fair opportunity to participate IN selecting
delegates to form Constitution preparatory
10 admission as State, and, if desired by
them. they should alse be allowed an unqual-
flied right to vote upon such Constitution
after it is framed Ofeourse those who then
fail to vote, in either case, cannot complain
that the proceeding goes on without their par
ticipation 1t is to be hoped that Congress
will make such provision for other Territories
that the present difficulty will have no repe-
tition in the future.
In conclusion permit me to observe, that
all experience and reflection prove that that
the moral virtues form the only firm founda-
ton of public order as well as individual char
acter. and their support should therefore en-
gage the profound attention of Government,
and the cooperation of all good men Frail
indeed will be any structure reared for the
regulation of society, and the promotion OF
mans true and substantial happiness, unless
it stand upon foundation more permanent
than paper arrangements, or the feeting i'm
pulses of the hour! The recognition of a
Great Supreme Power, which rules the af-
fairs of nations and of men, is the only sup
port of those virtues which can make people
distinguished and prosperous, and give to
Government duration and success SINGER

volunteer force of two thousand strong, will
resume their march as soon as supplied with
horses, mules and grass. 81 s
Two volunteer companies are mustered into
service for nine months, and are expected in
few days. Two more will be mustered in
the troops. They have braved the dangers
and privations of the march with patience and
cheerfulness, and are in fine health, though
some of the regiments are still suffering from
the frost bite.
Another letter from an officer of the army
saws the Mormons are afraid of the mounted
men, and that they are set Of towards, like
all assassins and robbers. He fears their lea
ders, and those who have no claim in the val
ley, will run away, requiring their deluded
followers to destroy their property, lest it may
benefit the army.

The Black Republican Press and the Ma

as the young saplipg" And so we would say
20 the Black Republican editors who so con-
fdently declare that the administration Of
James Buchanan is already broken down, aud
that his reputation as a patriotic, profound
and farsecing statesman is wholly gone, gone
forever His reputation as a statesman is too
solid fabric to be overthrowp by the machi-
nations Of men who know no motive but sue
cess, worship no God but ambition, and who
are and always have been his enemies.
When the Democ: attic National Convention
assembled at Cincinnati in 1856, it was uni

cessary that statesman of enlarged views.
who knew "no South, no North under the
Constitution" and who could present spot
less record should be nominated for the Pres
ideucy In casting about them for such a
man, it was almost unanimously conceded by
the delegates that Mr. Buchanan was the man
for the crisis, and be was accordingly nominated
Aud it was well for the Democratic party, it
was well for the pcrpetuity of our Republican
institutions, that he was the nominee No
other man in the ranks of the party could
have carried Pennsylvania, Indiana and New
Jersey with any other man as the Demo
cratic standard bearer, Abolitionism ala.
Black Republicanism would have swept the
north like torn ado.
After the nomination Of Mr. Buchanan for
the Presidency, his political career was sub
jected to trying ard searching scrutiny by
the opposition but they found his record
without stain, and they we're compelled to
acknowledge thathe was great and profound
statesman. Finding that it was impossible to
prevent his election in 1856, they at once or
ganized for the purpose of breaking down bis
administration, in order to secure the triumph
of their sectional party in 1860. And they
already fater themselves that they have sue
ceeded in their nefarious schemes. Because

evening Mr.. Bourne related the circumstance

another Hero Fallen.

The balance of VI alker's fllibustering force
under Col. Anderson has been captured by
Capt. Sands of the U. S. steam frigate Sus-
quehanna. In taking this force Capt Sancs
went even further than Com modore Paulding
In landing ct Punta Arenas. He ascended
into the interior of a foreign country and cap
tured Anderson and his men on the river,
after he was compelled by the conju notion of
the Nicaraguan and Costa Rican forces to
abandon Fort Castillo, where he had entrench-
cd himself Misfortunes multiply themselves
upon Walker. His design was that this Col.
Anderson should hold Fort Castillo against
the Nicaraguans until he could organize new
exdediton and come to his relief, and then
the power of NicaIsgua was to fall before
their united efforts. But as Walker had his
Paulding, so Anderson has had his Sands, to
blight the fondest expectations.
As the President was constrained to COM
mend Commodore Paulding for tho good he
effected by bringing back Walker, although
he did exceed his instructions, We suppose
