Amiahjlity, Ch La !—The Fillmore leaders of Pennsylvania who have so far refused to sell out bag and baggage tothe Fremont man- agers, are being quite as youndly abused by the présses in the interest of the latter in all the non-slaveholding States, ag not long since they were abusing the Democratic’ many mer of that region. The Pennsylvatia Re- publican Stato Committee have just issued an address detailing the circumstances un der which their late coalition State ticket w.2s adopted and supported, and the version ot those under which the Fillmore State comm tee refuse by a vote of twonty to twoto coalescs or fase on a single anti Buchanan electcral ticket. In the ccurse of that manifesto they pay the Fillmore State committee the follow- ing compliments. Viz: * All that could be done by the chairman of the American State Committee and his co- adjutors in the Democratic ranks, to give the electoral vote of Pennsylvania toMr Buchan- an, by secret sidedoor combination with the friends of that gentleman, to divide the strength of the opposition, has been accom- plizhed. The proposition of the 27th of Au- gust was evidently designed t embroil the American and Republican parties in every county where they had united on Assembly and Congressional candidates, and thus aid the Democracy to an overwhelming victory. For what other object did the chairman of the American State Committee place himeelf in communication with Mr. Forney’? Whether that gentleman accepted an invitation to slip im at the sidedoor of Mr. Sanderson, or whe- ther Mr. Sanderson slipped in at the sidedoor of Mr Forney, is not certainly known Why Mr. Sanderson should invite a secret sidedoor interview, and shrink back from a fair, open and hoporable conference, can onty be sur- mised. Although chairman of the American State Committee, it is well understood that he was never connected with the American or- ganization, and under other circumstances a sidedoor effort on bis | aly to ennihbilate it would perhaps subject him to no reprvach ; but why he should participate in the concoc- tion of a scheme to frustrate and defeat the well known wishes and purposes of that party after it had so far honored him with its confi- dence as to place him at the head of its State Committee, 1s a question which must be eet- tled by thoze who have been betrayed. “The Democratie State ticket has been elected by a ema!l majority. It received the votes of thousands of Mr. Fillmore’s friends in Philadelphia and cleewhere who cannot support James Buchanan for the Presidency.” It is to be hoped that our amiable and in- teres:ing neighbor won't have fits over that terrible feli.w’s—Forney’s—alleged purchase of the Fillmore State Committee, who are doubtless ss unpurchacable, every mother’s son of them, as the distinguished members of our talented acd patriotic neighbor’s clique, themselves. In this connection a correspor- dent of the New York U'rtsune says: “If trouble be taken to examine the Fil!- more Press, during the progress of the can- vaes, it will be found that from the most con- epicucus down tothe dirty and driveling Doily News here—controlied by the Chairman of the Stcte Ccmmittee—there hss been an incevsant crusade against Frement, acd a considerable exculpation of Buchansn. The machinery of that organization was in the hands of the most corrupt knaves that ever disgraced a po- litical panty, and, while professing support for the rics ticket, they were secretly work- ing by spuricus ballots end cther practical contrivances at the polls, to give the victory tothe pretended enemy, to which they had been regularly sold for dollarsinhand. Money was liberally given in the country to keep up the waning | ee of Fillmore papers, in order to preserve that organization and pre- ventafusion. Within wy own range cf ac quaintance nearly one hundred respectable men who nominelly sustzined Fillmore, have admitted since the election they voted the Democratic ticket, believing the other to be a waste of suffrage “Tn most of the eastern part of the Etate the active operations were conceded by the Republicans to the Fillmore men, hoping by asurrender of candidates, of claims to position and all the petty distinctions, to insure good faith and hearty co-operation. But they were betrayed. On the day of election, in several of the precincts where Americanism has flour- ished most, there was not a Fillmore wan upon the ground to distribute ballots or to vindicate the rights of the Union ticket; and in some of the Wards where American inspec- tars presided. the majorities on the other side have been enormously auzmented—iudicatirg that the political craft of California mzy have acity where the practice of the illustrious * * * ‘« The Republicans conducted the cawpaign. at every disadvantage of organization and want of the sinews of war. Throvghout the rural districts north and west of the Alleghe- nies, where the people could net be tampercd with, and where Fillmoreism was mde secon- dary to Freedom, the cause bas spcken nobly in its own justification. A mistake was made at the cuteet in trusting the venal creatures who have thrust themselves forward as the Fillmore managers They were well known, by former experience, to be open to apy re- fponsible ofier of purchase, and they bad proved by past treachery, rascality, aud hy- risy, to what base uses they could descend for pay. But this villainy hes only served to Toure hew energies, and to inyoke efforts that might not otherwi#® bave been enlisted. In two weeks more ail show Mr. Fillmore f corporal’s guard in Pennsylvania, and silence rye derous tongue forever. A Repusiican ”’ Per contra, the Philadelphia Sun dispels with a few strokes of the pen against its friends, the Fillmourner managers, 80 far as the reasons actuating them to decline the proposed fusion are concerned — “ Now, we take it for granted arte ond man who reads tbis (the Herald s) e i judge of the facts, will believe a pelt ishere asserted. In the first single word that is ivr the Fillmore party in ace it is not true that the P fe lvania is a s Buchanan movement, Pennsylyon friends of Fillmore voted steadily and worked earnestly against the Buchanan movement in the late election ; and in the next Jace, so far as the Fremont party is con- corned, its identity with the ‘ Know Nothing party’ is pretty much like the feat of the man who tries to ride two horses at the same time, because Mr. Fremont is the nominee of two conventions—one of which was an American convention held in New York, and the other the Republican convention held in this city, and the latter was most decidedly hostile to fundamental principles of the former. in: Mr. Fillmore’s friends in Pennsyl- a have made nothing by this apparent fu- sion with their known adversaries—that is nothing in the Southern States. If they had run an independent State ticket, by defeatin, the Republicans, they would have entit! themselves to the respect of their Southern friends, but instead of that they worked in al- liance with their bitterest enemies, and with all their efforts the Democratic party has beat- en them and made the record strong aguinst them. The truth is, the American party has been knocked about by its two opposing par- ties in Pennsylvania, like a shuttle cock. It has been managed out of the important offices in the State and the county of Philadelphia by these parties, and has lost prestige in the interior by their miserable management. The old Democrats who went into the American arty are leaving it, and so are the Oid Line Whiss, and men who were disposed to vote for Fremont, in the belief that they would be respected as American allies, and are now told that they have been helping a pure Republi- can movement, and nothing else. What other effect can this have, unless remedied, except to gain immensely for Mr. Buchanan at the November election? J “To be frank about ®, the machinery of the Fren oot men has been damaged badly, and matters are not mended by their awkward at- tempt to set things right here in Penrsylva- nia. The Fillmore meu cannot uuite with the Frewont men here, without driving al! their co-laborers in New York into the Buchanan ranks. If they fuse with Republicanism in this State, then all the sincere National Fill- more men in New York wili go overto the De- Mocracy with a yell. Thecase now is the same as it was four years ago, when these Same managers drove General Scott into op- position to the American party, by courting the rich Irish brogue and sweet German ac- cent, and as an inevitable consequence he was defeated, as Americans by thousands voted di- rectly for Franklin Pierce. It is impossible to conceive a more blundering and foolish dispo- sition of political affairs than that between the two organizations in Pennsylvania, and just so far as this Se of the argument goes we agree with the Ilerald.” Whoever the writer of this article, last above quoted, may be, we have to say that he takes commonsense views of his case in hand. The result of our observation when in Pennsyl- ¥ania goes to prove that assent to the proposed new fusion movement will drive over to Mr. Buchanan's support not merely thousands who voted the fusion ticket on Tuesday, the 14th inst, but tens of thousands—at least a thou sand, if not more, in the five counties of Penn- sylvavia wherein we lubored during the can- vass. his is our candid judgment from care- ful canvassing. Being of that opinion, we ean comprehend that the straight Keow Noth- ing State Committee are simply trying to keep from the support of Mr. Buchanan perhaps thirty thousand votes of Pennsylvania, who, having eupported the fusion State ticket, stand ready to vote for Mr. Buchanan on per- sonal grounds, if driven to choose between him and Fremoct. We have further to add an expression of sincere belief that every anti-Democratic party vote in the State was polled against the Dem- ocratic State ticket on the 14th instant, in cluding all the Quakers who are not for Mr. Buchanan, as thousands on thousands of them are, and every Fillmore vote within the limits of that commonwealth. The Fillmore men who voted the Democratic State ticket have as little existenco in reslity, as the twenty or thirty thousand anti-Buchanan Quakers, who, having failed to vote in the State election, are now being pretended to be counted as a re- served force for the November election by the Fremont Press of New York city. Appointed.—Thossin all sections of the Union who have transacted busincss with the Interior Department in this city in the past eight years, wi'l be gratified to learn that tLe President has appointed George C. Whiting, Esq., its chief clerk, to bo the Commissioner of Pensions, vice Julge Minot, of Now Hamp- shire, whose resignation we announced yes terday. This appointment is evidewtly the rosult of cficial merit alone, and therefore, no better one could have been made so {sr as the interest of the public service is concerned. United to great experience with tho Lusiness of the bureau of which he is now the chief, (as for many years every «uestion involved inthe conduct of its duties concerning which thero las been a question as to the law operative in the case, has necessarily come under his im- mediate supervision.) he possesses an urbanity of manner, indefatigable indastry and a high personal and secial ch ter which havo long caused him to rank among the most fo:tunate acquisitions to the goveryment service ut this peiat. Our own fellow citizens, without diz- tinction of party, we well know, unite with us in congratulating the President on the just dis crimination and true public spirit manifested in rewarding eubstantial official morit as he has done in thus promoting Geo. C Whiting, Esq. The very last Boorback —Tho New York Herald's Waskington roorback-factory is again in operation. We congratulate the lovera of astounding news on the fact that the Person manazing it, though evidently a new band in the business, has made up his mind at once to earn a more remarkable reputation in his new line than was ever before achieved by either of the other enterprising young gen- Uemen who haye been employed at similar jobs for that veracious journal : WaAsHinaton, Oct 20, 1836 The President and the Secretary of War aro avoided Ly esate oa a an overland trip would cause him, by taking paszage in the Wabaeh. — The Secretary of War comes back full of polities and pluck the Arenal at Springfield, Mass., and other Peints at the North.

If the writer of this despatch himself be- Tieves its statements to be true, we should like to look at him, as he must be the most re- markable specimen of a newspaper man who has so far graced the Federal city with his presence—and, heaven knows, there have been some rum ‘uns of the tribe among us of Jute years Our notion ir, that this despatch is designed merely to frighten very green folks in the raral districts of the North into voting for Fremont onthe 4th proximo. It is, however s> transparent as that it will operate overy where simply as an advertisement proving the desperation to which the result of the Penn- sylvania and Indiana State elections have driven thore who really have the Fremont cause at heart.

Our esteemed fellow citizen, Dr. Charles 5.

Disgusted!—J. R. H, recently returnel f-om Philadelphia, tails a good story of a dis gusted Fremonter, who, having been pretty well plucked by his party for ‘ necessary election expenses’’ under promiso of political triumphs and an office, was approached just after the Pennsylvania election by a com mittee man with an invitation to fork over again ‘for the good of the party’? ‘ Wo sir-ee!’’ responded the victim. ‘‘ What! noth- irg for bleeding Kansas?”’ ‘‘ Nary red—-let her bleed !” To Inspectors of Election —It is earnestly to be hoped that all inspectors of election will count the votes for President first, on the 4th prox. If they will do so, the result of that most important election will be definitely known on the morning of the 5th, wherever telegraph wires reach; but not otherwise. Declined.—A. T.

Ellis J Newlin to the Presidency of Delaware College, and while we congratulate him on this new relation and position, we recommend the College to the confidence and patronage of the cburches under our care as offering some peculiar ad- vantages to the youth of our Southern country. Col G. W. Hutchins, of Washington, éor- dially invited the Synod to meet in the Assem- bly’s church, Washington, D C. Accepted unanimously. October, 1857, the third Wed- nesday, at 74 o’clock p. m., was selected as the time. The Synod of Mississippi and the Presby- tery of Hanover addressed the Synod on the subject of Slavery; and Rev. Dr. Boyd, Rev. W. McLain, and Rev. H. Dunning were ap pointed to express the views of the Synod on the subject. The following report was pre- sented : ‘: The Synod of Virginia agree in sentiment with their brethren of the Synod of Missis- sippi, that the agitation of the subject of sla very in the Church—and it may be added in the State—has been productive of much evil. in our judgment this agitation is not only cal- culated to alienate the North from the South, but it also interferes, to some extent, with the Southern ministry in the discharge of their daties to the colored population. It tends to render the condition of our slaves more unde- sirable by leading to the enactment of more rigorous law by our Legislature, both with re- spect to their liberty and their religious in- struction. It is true that the discussion of the subject has been productive of good by inducing a thorough investigation of the prin- ciples essentially involved in the relation of master and slave «We have reason to believo that one result of this discussion in our branch of the church has been a general concurrence in the opivion that slaveholding is not a sin per sea prin- ciple that lies at the foundation of the ex- tremes of northern abolitionists. Our (ieneral Assembly, in its action on the subject of slavery, has virtuaily repudiated the idea that slave- holding is essentially sinful. We attribute this result, in some moseure, to the discussion of the question in that body. We believe also that this discussion has contributed to give our Northern brethren more correct views of the system of slavery as it exists among us—that by the statement of facts by Southern del- egates many have had their prejudices re- moved, and are disposed to leave the subject where it should always have been left, with those who have the power to regulate it ‘* But notwithstanding much good may thus have resulted from this discussion, the Synod ef Virginia is fully persuaded that the evils flowing from this agitation have counter- balanced all the good effects incidental to it. We believe that nothing but harm can come frown any fature agitation of the slavery ques- tion. We believe also that there are but few comparatively in our church who desire the introduction of the subject into the General Assembly. The great body of our Northern ministers and churches are satisfied that the Assembly has gone as far as it could constitu- tionally, and that the reiteration of past decla- rations of sentiment is both unnecessary and inexpedient. There are doubtless preabyte- ties in certain portions of the country which, in consequence of an outside influence, cither political or ecclesiastical, brought to bear upon them, may wish further action on the part of the Assembly. But they constitute a very small proportion of thechurch. Ia the present state of public fecling on the general subject no church that has a Northern connection can be entirely exempt from persons who will de- sire to speak upon it whenever an opportunity is presented. ** Insomuoh, thereforo, as the General As- sembly has never, either directly or indirect- ly, endorsed abolition principles, and as we are convinced that the desire to agitate this vexed question in an ecclesiastical judicature is confined to a small number of individuals in our connection, your committee think that no action on the part of the Southern Synod is at present called for. At the same time wo would say that ifa different state of things from what we believe now exists, should oc- cur, and if the General Ascembly of our church should hereafter aiopt a course involvivg our constitutions! righte, we shal! be preoared to unite with our brethren North and South in adopting such measures as Divine Providence and our best judgments, enlightened by the truth and spirit of God, may indicate in the premises. ‘Your committee recommend to the Synod the adoption of the following resolutions : 1. Resolved, That in the judgment of the Synod no meceeny exists in the present state ot the church for further action on the part of the Southern Synods. 2 Reselved, That tke stated clerk of the Synod be directed to forward a copy of tis minute to the stated clerk of the Synod of Mississippi as expressive of the views of this body. The above report and resolutions were, with great unanimity, adopted by the Synod. After voting thanks for the hospitality re ceived from the people of Shepherdstown and neighborhood, and to the railroad companics granting return tickets, the Synod adjourned to meet in the Assembly's Church, Washing- ton, D.
