"Pitt.-bvko, Ju'y 20, 1056 '''' " I know nothing more uncertain than 1 political calculations by men of sanguine : lemperament, who are apt to jump at a conclusion upon very imperfect obsciva-', tion. " If you will allow me, however, to 'set up the bkeleton from what might be considered perhaps only tie vail, I think 1 ' can fairly offer jou something tubstantial in the way of encouragement. ' "Our meetings in this region, of which ' I have attended and addressed three, have far exceeded in numbers and enthusiasm anything that I have ever before wi.nessed, - while those of the Buchanan men are said ' to have fallen, in both particulars, equally far below all past x implo. Judging from ' these exhibitions, as well as from whnt 1 ' hear every day,' I am disposed to think - ' that the contest here wi 1 be a one-sided - one, en'irely. Our friends talk confident ly of a majority of 6,000 to 0,000 votes in this county for fremont, and this. I think will be about a fair type of the entire West .

Americans (North) that he should do so. If he should, however, tnko counsel only -'from his selfishness and ambition, and refuse to do so, he will be left high and dry , upon the beach.

Another Valuable Accession. In days gone by, Lebanon county was, like Lancaster, Union and Dauphin, an unfaltering rolianco of the Whigs ; she never failed to give a round Whig majority. The loading paper of that county the Courier hns lor some time been holding off, on the Presidential question ; but it comes to us this week with Fremont and Dayton at the head of its columns, and says t " Wo have endeavored lo ascertain whether the peoplo of Lebanon county, whom we seek fairly to represent, are ready to strike in union for the Rights of Liberty, the Country nnd Humanity. We have found but little difference of opinion. The mountain of Wrong reared by the Pierce administration overtops and overshadows every minor difference. The people everywhere feel that they have been betrayed, nnd are anxious to avenge their wrongs. The time for notion hns arrived. The enemy is marshaling his forces, backed by the revenue of tho country. See-ing this, our friends, too, have become nn-xious to commence. Preferring rather to follow a healthy awakening public sentiment than to lend it, we have delayed ac tion until people throughout the country had become impatient and demand that the banner of the Free shall be unfurled We comply. Our Aug floats to the breeze We are ready to do our duty in the nirb Lebanon county has a character to main tain. In the darkest hours of political gloom, her star has never been dimmed Faithful to her principles, she stood as firm in mniiiticii.mp: Hum as Ler own iron hi Her past glories will light her on to new victortts. The virtue of our people is guarantee that they will do their duty: an as our paih is the path of duty, we have everything to hope and expect from to honest investigation and convictions of our citizens. Lebanon county can strike heavy blow against the men who have brought our Union to the very vergo of ruin, and she will do it." Another Valuable Accession. The A'orristoum Herald and Free frees the senior editor of which is an old-line Whig, and the junior an American,' conies to us this week with the flag of Fre mom ana u tyton llvm trora its masthead The Ileruld represents the great mass of uie opposiiion vote in xuoniKomery county, and its accession to our cause gives an un broken front to the Fremont ranks in the rich counties of Bucks, Delaware, Chester and Montgomery. The Herald says: In viewing the field which is before us. with the great issue which is presented we find Mr. Buchanan ignoring his person al identity to stand upon the Cincinnati platform, which unqualifiedly endorses the acts and the policy which have brought us upon tne verge ot civil war in Kansas. We find Mr. Fillmore desirous of South ern suppoit, falsifying the iruth of history anu Oeiioerateiy declaring, in view of all the great outrages and wrongs which have neen inllicted upon us, that he "has no fault to find with our National Administration." We also find John C. Fremont the son of a Southern State, whose education and training would naturally bind him in sympntliy with slavery, rising above the circumstances which surround him, and in tho digni y of his manhood declaring mat, wnue he wai willing lo respect the local laws of the States which tolerated Slavery, "he was inflexibly opposed to its iuriner spread and extension. " In such an issue as this, and with such candidates before us, we cannot hesitate which to support. We have placed their names upon our tl ig, and through the con test which is before us, we will battle to the full extent of our abilities for FREE SPEECH, a FREE PR2SS, FREE MEN and FREMONT. .',t Col. Fremont's Progress. -'J We 'have witnessed nine Presidential elections since 1820, and we do not remem ber one in whiob a candidate that was ta ken OD for the first lime mails such won derfuf progress as Col. Fremont has done within the last six or seven weeks. General Jackson was eight years a candidate . before he was elected. General Harrison , was also eight years before the public, and was defeated on the first trial. General Taylor was nearly four years conspicuously before the people before he seized bold of the public mind.' 'No candidate, no man ever made such progress in so brief a pe- rioil as Col. John' O. Fremont has done ; arguing from the past, there is hardly anything which we may not expect of him for 'the future. According lo present appear- anises', he will sweep every Northern and , Western State, by an unprecedented majority, and, will poll a vote in tho South that will astonish (be Southern politicians.

It was written by its editor: "Be this as it may, however, the cur rent floating opinion here is most decidedly that Fremont will carry, without difficul ty, every non-slaveholding State even Pennsylvania. I have just seen a friend who returned yesterday from the rural districts in Pennsylvania, and he says the drift is all for Fremont, so far as he could see. So westward, I hear, all the indices of popular feeling are for Fromont. I saw yesterday a Southern friend who has been locomoting around Vermont and the stron gest abolition regions of rsew England a talking and observing friend, and a "dyed in the wool" Democrat. He said he found only three Buchanan and one Fillmore man in those parts. In the city here, which is naturally rather liberal and cosmopolitan in opinion, the Free Soil ticket, so far, rules the roost. The most moderate of the old Whig party are going for Fill more but the bulk of the party is going for Fremont. Tho first classification nam ed comprehends all of the modern political development of Know-Nothingisro, which Mr. t illmore seems likely to get. Uuchan an's vote, so far as can be judged, is con fined lo the regular Democracy, shorn of the more Freesoilish and fishy portion of the same." A Semocratlo paper for Fremont The editor of the Worcester Palladium, long the ablest Democratic paper in the State of Massachusetts, has signified its intention to support l'remont. We copy iuu lonowiug paragraphs irom us last issue ! "We are not going into any argument to show that the JJemocralio party has left us; nor do we assent to the declaration that we have left them. But we do say, that in re-constructing their platform they have pui in a new ana aauuionui piaruc, wnicu they plainly tell us is more important, in their estimation, than all the others; and that they will recognise no man as a mem ber of their party unless he will stand equaro upon that plunk. That plank is slavery extension. We reject it. We disown it. We will not stand upon it, if the whole world beside stands there. It is not Democratic. It is unchristian. It is a charter to perpetuate human wrongs : and we wipe our hands of all responsibility for it in theory or practice. On tho other eleven planks of the platform we stand, ns we have stood in times gone by ; but the 12th carries us to a point where we do not choose to go ; and therefore we repudiate it. When the party shall return, if it ever does, to the purer faith of its other and better days, it will find us where it leaves us. "We can discover no great lino of distinction running between the party of Mr. Fillmore and the party of Mr. Buchanan. Both covet power. "There is Fremont, the people's candidate. He is and ever has been a Democrat. He stands upon the eleven undisputed planks of the platform ; but he repudiates the 12th, or slavery extension plunk. The Buchauan men exalt that as all the material issuo there is now before the country. Mr. Fremont refuses to plant his foot upon it. Where,then, is the difference between us ? On that issue our sympathies and convictions, are with him. Er. Buchanan in Lancaster County. TIip state of popular feeling in this coun ty on the Presidential question i3 being more fully developed. It has been rather slow in coming out, but the position it now assumes may be relied upon. Our information from all parts of the country is most encouraging. From every point we learn that Mr. Buchanan cannot poll near the old democratic vote ; that his supporters from among the Old Line Whigs are extremely "few and far be tween," if any arc to be found ; and that fremont is daily nnd rapidly gaining friends. In some of the townships, we are informed by intelligent and reliable per sons, that jur. Huchnnnn will not obtain one half of the old democratic vote. They know all about the truth of the objections urged against him, and do not hesitate to declare openly that they will not vote for him. These democratic opponents of Mr. Buchanan, we learn go for Fremont. We do not make this statement for the sake of effec t abroad, or to wrong Mr. Buchanan's friends here or elsewhere ; but as we believe them to exist. We have ndced ovrselves been astonished at the re ports that have came to us from reliable sources, ot the relusal ot a large portion of the old democrats in this county to support him.

Correspondence of the Pittsburgh Gazette. Lancaster, Pa., Aug. 2, 'C!). To-day the American County Conven tion met and ratified the call for a Union County Convention previously agreed up on by sub-committees of the Americans, Republicans and Wbigs. The committee was full and the action quito harmonious, tho call being adopted almost unanimous- The Democrats tried hard (0 ret un a division in the American Convention, and thus throw three parties in the field in the October contest. Failing in this thev know that an overwhelming defeat stares them in the face in the home of Mr.Buchanan. Instead of dividing the opposition, the Buchanan party are more likely to be divided themselves. Their county committee had a meeting yesterday, when Dr. J ohnson, one of their most active men, who has recently been considered "Fremont-ish" gave them to understand his true position by sending the following Letter of Declination. Frkemah's Vauev, Drumore-twp., ) live H. B lhe Voice of Henry Clay. . While the organs of the Border Ruffian Democracy are boasting over the accession of the "old line" Henry Clay Whigs to the ranks of the Slavery propagandists, let us see what were the sentiments of the great patriot npon the extension of Slavery. In 1860 his language was: "But too cannot put your finger noon any part of the Constitution which convevs tne ngut or me power to carry slaves rrom one of the States of the Union to any territory of the United Slates. ' Nor, sir, oan I admit, (or a single moment, that there is any separate or distinct right upon the part of the Stales or individual members of the States, or any portion of the United State, to carry slaves into Territories, tinder the idea that those Territories are held in com mon belnocn fbe several Slates," ; -. . ,, The Charleston Mercury says: We rejoice at any event which makes common cause at the South, and foreshadows her destiny as a separate and indepen dent people." The Mercury is the organ of Mr. Buchanan in South Carolina. Which is the sectional candidate the one who makes common cause at the South and foreshadowing her destiny as a separate people, or the one who plants himself upon the constitution with a determination that it shall remain the ruling power of an united people T Judge McLean. A report has been circulated in the opposition papers that Judge McLean has pronounced for Fillmore. How much truth there is in it may be judged from the following statement by the Washington correspondent of the New York Herald : "A letter was read to me to day, from Judge McLean, in which he says that the German residents of the western sections of Pennsylvania will vote almost unanimously for Fremont. He predicts the State for Fremont by over thirty thousand majority," t3T Great distress for want of food prevails at many of the outposts of Newfoundland.

July 31. 1856 Swauk, Esq., Chairman of Buclmimn Coiioly Committee. Sir: For twenty five years I have been a voting Democrat. For the Inst twenty years 1 have been a voter in Lancaster county, and during that limeha7e iuvaria-bly eupported tho men nnd measures of the Jefferson and Jackson Democracy always maintaining the doctrine of "the greatest good to the geatcst number," and hav ing sworn, with the great Father of De mocracy, "eternal hostility to every form of tyranny over the mind of man." 1 have always approved the letlcr nnd spirit of the Ordinance of 17R7. whinh pr eluded Slavery from all the Territory then Dcionging to uie united States, and the principle of which has been the settled nol- icy of the Democratic party 6incn 1790. and of the federal government down to the administration of franklin Pierce. The Cincinnati Convention having departed from the great hitrhwav of Rcmib lican Liberty, repudiated the Democracy of Jeffrson and Jackson by endorsing tho sectional measures of the administration of franklin Pierce, and adopted a platform destructive in its character to the interests ot the whole .country, I am confident thai in repudiating that platform, and in yield ing a hearty support to John C. Fremont for the Presidency, I do not depart in the siigtucsi degree Irorn the faith of the De mocratic party. As I cannot, therefore, consistently, sup port the principles embodied in the Cin cinnati platform, and as Mr. Buchanan has lost his personal identity thus relieving all who might otherwise have supp'ortod him on the principle of County or Siate "pride" you will much obliae mo bv se lecting some other person to represent Dru- more township in your committee. 1 remain, sirs, yours respectfully, "C.

A general bolting of tne old Lass Democrats ot tins county may oe looaea wr Deiore the .November election. In two districts they have already drawn the lines by forming "Buchanan Clubs," in which the Cass men will not take any part. Fremont is rapidly gaining strength here every day. The Americans are abandoning Fillmore as a hopeless candidate, and outside of this city he could to day poll very few votesjwhile many who still adhere to him.say they will go for the 'strongest man to beat Buchanan.' You may depend upon it, Lancaster county will give the Mountaineer a good old fashioned majority. It cannot be less than 4000, and the general Impression is that it will exceed 5000. We are encouraged at the prospects West of the Mountains. We look to you to redeem the Fillmore division in Phila delphia, and victory will be ours. An Old Line Wnio, Marriage of a Dead Han and a Woman. The Trentnn Pmiofin nf A, Ail. has the following: A young man residinir in Bordentown. who was under an engagement of marriage with a young lady; died on Friday last. Both the gentleman and lady, as well as 1 I. e l ' n 1. inuir lumiues, were mm bolievers in tho doctrines of the spiritualists, and, notwithstanding the death of the former, it was determined that the marriage should take place between the disembodied spirit of the young man, and living, breathinor body mo nuimiucu unue. Accoruingiy, on Saturday, the marriage ceremony was performed between the clay cold corpse, and the warm, blooming bride. It is under stood that this is in compliance with the directions of the spirit of the bridegroom. The devotion of the lady to the spirit or tho memory of her lover carried her thro' this ceremony without faltering.but it must lead to unhappiness, for she no doubt con siders herself as the wife of one whom she shall meet in the body never more. Her heart lies buried in tho grave with him who 6hould have been her guide and protector. Anion;? all the sincular thines re corded of the spiritualists, we have met with nothing parallel to this. Tho young lady was attired in all the usual bride paraphenelia at the ceremony, and after it was over the funeral of the deceased took place. It was attended, we learn, by upwards of ten thousand Der- sons from Bordentown and vicinity, who had been attracted to tho spot by a morbid curiosity. Tho young lady acted at the trrave like one really possessed with an evil spirit; she raved and flung herself into the grave.and was with great difficulty borne from the spot to the residence of the madman, whom she regards as her father-in-law. Since the funeral she has lived at his house, and at meals, a plate, a cup, and a portion of all the condiments of the table, are served for the dead man, whose empty chair these victims of demonism suppose to be tenanted by his spiritual body. "The unfortunate young lady is the uiiugmer 01 respectable parents, and formerly resided in Burlington, butwhohave removed to California whither she intended following them, The Election of Preston 8.

The Cross (which was the gallows of the Jows,) is the sacred emblem of the religion of the Christian World. It belongs to no sect, or creed, or nation; and as well might that "devout astrohd-mcr" who traced its outline among tho eternal stars be denounced for conferring the same upon that beautiful constellation, as the great explorer of the wilderness who piously carved it upon God's own monu ment of everlasting grnnite. The man who repudiates "the superstition of the cross" can have little love for Him who bore it Hint beautiful moon of the divine sun which alone illumines our human night. lo be ashamed of the symbol is to be ashamed of the love and suffering it symbolizes:. "Ashamed of Jesus t just as soon, Let midnight be ashamed of noon; Ashamed of Jesual sooner far Let darkness blush to own a star." Surely the true "friends of the cross," without regard to creeds, will honor tho heroio pilgrim of the Wilderness who gratefully and devoutly recorded his triumph in that simple sign, dear to every Christian heart the holy hieroglyphic which tells the story of a world's redemption; which no Christian eye can ever contemplate without remembering like the Pilgrims of Palestine : "Priez Four les malusuKeux." Col. Fremont has no reason to be asham ed of his chronicle of the cross. iV. Y. Mirror. A "Jimmy" per Uuart. The Baltimore Clipper of Friday last says: We were somewhat amused in passing through the Lexington market a day or two since at the reply of a fruit vender to an interrogtary put to him. A gentleman approached his stall and asked, "What's tho price of your strawberries?" "A Jimmy a quart." "A Jimmy a quart!" reiterated the purchaser; "why, I never heard of a coin by that name of what value, pray is it?" . "Why, ten cents, or in other words a dime just the amount that Jimmy Buchanan wants poor men to work for per day, is the price that 1 charge Tor my strawberries a quart. At that rate I guess poor men would not be able to eat many do you think they would?" asked the seller. "I am decidedly of your opinion," rejoined tke gentleman. -ii 11. Ninb "Dbsssjnos" a Dat. Belle Brit-tan writes from Newport : We have to dress about nine times a day here. First, we have lo put on a dress to dress in. Then we are ready for breakfast. After that we dress for the Beach then for the bath then for dinner then for the bed. If that isn't being put through a regular course of dimity and diamonds, then 1 am no judge of such performances. Mors Facts. To show that Col. Fremont is a Catholic, John Brown, the ferryman, informs the editor of the Evening Pott that now-a-days "the masses are all for him, and that he don't go around, bat crosses the Ferry to Staten Island, and crosses the streets in getting to the Ferry." It is said that he wears his suspenders crossed, and when ho writes, crosses his t's. i3T In a debate on the contested Kan- sas election case in the House of ReDresen tatives the other day, Mr. Sherman said that the minority report of tho Kansas Commission was chiefly made up of ex pane testimony, inuen alter the Commis sionera lett the '.territory, n portion of which, it was unanimously agreed, should not be taken when it was offered before the wholo committee, it not being competent, and that the minority report also contained a letter of Gov. Rceder to his friend, Mr. Lowery, which was stolen by sacking private property! He slated that before this letter was obtained these gentlemen were both driven from the Territory ; that this letter was obtained at the sacking of jjuwruuco, wuere meir trunks bad been left, and a day or two after was presented to the Commission by a lawyer named Abel, a partner of Stringfellow, who practices at Atchison, Missouri, as testimony, and the Commission refused to receive if as such 1 So this alleged stolen property is incorporated into the Minority Report. And this stolen letter has been printed with extensive comments in all the Buchanan papers in the country, amon which we may mention the Washington Union and Cincinnati Enquirer. They paraded this private letter obtained by burglary, in their editorial columns, shamelessly exhibiting their shame. Siampidx of tbs Dkmocract. Sanford Harrison, Esq., a prominent Democrat of New York, has issued an address to his fellow Democrats, in which he states that he has just returned from a tour in the central counties, and finds that the leaders of the Democracy have all gone over to Fremont, and that there is no hope of carrying the State fcr-BuchanBn. In thif-condition of affairs he urges his political friends to vote for Fillmore, and thus save the State from Fremont. This, he thinks, will throw the election into lhe House of Representatives, when he is confident Buchanan will be elected, or, if not, Breck-enridge will be the President. : More Help. The Albany Register, last year a leading supporter of the American Slate ticket, has raised the Fremont Flag. The Mohawk Courier, for twenty-three years a Democratic paper of extensive influence in Herkimer county, New York, comes out for Fremont. The Hartford Courant, the leading Slate paper of the North Americans of Connecticut, hoists the flag of Fremont and Dayton.The Miner's Journal, a paper of great influence among the miners of Schuylkill county, Pa., takes down the Fillmore" flag and hoists Fremont. The Weachester (Pa.) Village Record, an Independent paper, comes out for Fremont. . ...

On this subject we find the following paragraph in the Louisville Democfat of Friday, Glhi We learn that hogs are dying in large numbers through Ohio and other parts of the country. D. Dougherty, of Westport, Ky., states that the disease is prevailing to a great extent in his neighborhood. Ho made a post mortem examination in ono case, and found in great numbers' a peculiar white active worm, from fonr to six inches long, completely filling the intestinal tube for the space of two or three feet. The intestines at the part occupied by tho worms were intensely infiimed, and so contracted that the figures of the worms could be seen through the coats. If, the hogs were allowed the free use of salt, it is probable that the disease would be pre-' vented. A Close Shave A prominent Locofoco politician was asked yesterday by a brother Loco, what he thought of this State politically. "Well," said he, "I am pretty much of the opinion of tho j'our barber, whom I found in Tate'3 shop tho other morning.

"The Steubenville Union learns from the friends of Judge Leavitt, of the United States District Court, that that distinguished gentleman who has been a Whig for twenty years intends to support the Un ion nominees in this contest, Buchanan and Breckenridge." we cut the above from the Cincinnati Enquirer, and can only say, that all the certificate Judge Leavitt will ever need, to pia;e him in close communion with the "Nigger Drivers," is a certified record of tho Fugitive Slave case in Cincinnati, in which justice was disgraced by throwing the sovereignty of Ohio beneath the feet of a Kentucky slave breeder. The vile odor of that decision now will attach to the African Democracy, to which it belongs and of which it is a part. If Judge Crawford, of Washington, was not in the District of Columbia, he, too, would vote for Buchanan. Cleveland ueraid.j JtfT Ata Buchanan ratification meeting at Patterson, N.

JCiT The Hamilton Intelligencer states that a Mr. Mollyneaux, of Oxford, lhe seat of Miami University, made a bet with a Republican a few days ago, that be could find at least twelve Buchanan men in that place. The bet being closed, Mr. M. went the rounds of the town, which contains a population of some fifteen hundred, and finding only seven of the twelve, gave it pi lhis state of political opinion, indi cates that Oxford will have as few political sins to answer for, as any other place of its population. 3T The Si Paul Deutsche Zeitung.the only German paper published in Minnesota territory, Comes out for Fremont and Dayton. ' The editor says be has for six ears labored for the democratic party in pite of i!s corruptions, in hope that lime would work a reformation; the party however, having retrograded until it has become a mere tool in lhe hands of slaveholders, he has no alternative but to abandon it, and enlist under the banner of Freedom and Fremont. . . , 1 The British people seem to be talking in earnest about constructing a railroad from London to Calcutta. The route proposed has no obstruction, except the Straits of Dover and the Bosphorus; and the distance could probably be accom plished by locomotive, in about n week.

The Burlington Hawk Ey says, that Dr. Eads, the Superintendent of Public Instruction in Iowa, has committed a giant fraud upon the School Fund. Two hundred thousand dollars "that was intended for the education of the Children of Iowa, has been squandered and wasted, loaned out to lazzaroni of the pro-slavery party invested in corner lots in newspapersin everything but the legal one. It is the most astounding defalcation that has ever occurred in the State." Stt" M'or Woodruff, formerly the Democratic paner in Mahonino enimit-. has come out for Fremont and the Republican cause.

Vote of Wisconsin. Tho Milwnukeo Wisconsin thinks that the vote of that State, will, beyond all doubt, be cast for Fremont. It says that the opposition to the Administration is united in a solid phalanx, and that from the Illinois line to .the northern boundary, there is not a sign or a thought of a bolt or division. Another Important Accession Alexander Kayser, one of the leading Democrats and most influential Germans of Missouri, has come out in a stirring letter to his fellow Germans, in favor of John C. Fremont. Kayser has been a Democrat for 10 years, and was a Pierce elector in 1852. JfiT George T. Barnum, a Democratic member of tho Legislature three winters ago, Private Secretary to Gov. Wood and Medill, and also at this time one of the Democratic Central Committeo of Cuyahoga county, has avowed bis determination to vote for Fremont. jT A most remarkable instance of rapid firing occurred at Fremont, at the time of the Mass Convention on Wednesday. The Mansfield gunners fired at the astonishing rate of three guns in fifteen seconds. The United States rules only permit six guns a minute, and this is considered' aa rapid as sa'ety will allow.
