Mr. Buchanan is at presemt enjoying fine health at his bachelor home at Wheatland, near Lancaster, Lancaster county, Pa. He is said to be robust, ac- tive, and in excellent spirits. The whole of the morning is 60 much occupied with his private affairs and reading the papers that he pays no attention to his friends, but from four in the afternoon until eight or nine o’clock in the evening of each day, visiters find him comparatively disengaged. ‘A Fremont club has been organized in Wilming- ton, Del. The following are the officers:— President, Thomas Waiter; frst Vice President, Hon. ‘Thomas M. Rodney; second’ Vice President, James W. Dawson, Secretaries, ©. 1), Williams and &. M. Bye; Trea- ‘surer, Clement B. Smyth; Directors, E.G. Bradford, Bvos Flunsberger, William Ferris, William C. Leibrandt, Or. ‘Wm. W. Thomas, William Huston, William Tatnail, The fifth article of the constitution reads as fol- Jows;—“‘The officers of thia club are continued until the election of John C. Fremont.’ The cause of Fremont and the constitution is spreading even in be slaveholding States. The Philadelphia Pennsylvanian charges the sup- porters of Fremont with being the avowed advocates of @ dissolution of the Union. The same was charg- ed upon the democrats in 1828, and again when General Jackson removed the deposits from the United States Bank. The Union will stand, though the heavens fall. Fremont can lose Rhode Island, California, Iowa, Wisconsin, New Hampshire, Vermont and ali the slaveholding States, and yet be elected Presider‘t ° a j the Electoral College.

Hon. John M. Palmer has been nominated as the republican and Know Nothing candidate for Con- gress in the Sixth district of Illinois. We find the following significant paragragh in the Broy Times:— The Know Nothing Lodge at Clifton Park, coun- ty, at their last meeting, acted on a resolution offered by epe of the members ratifying the nomination of Fillmore and fonelsen. The resolution was defeated by the strong ‘vote of one for and eighty-four against it. A resolution ‘was then carried by a vute of 64 to 1, pledging the mem- ‘bers to support Fremont. A few days since, says the Montgomery ( Ala.) Mail, Senators Douglas and Cass, assisted by a good many other Northern and Southern democratic Senators, kicked Frapklin Pierce (late leader of the bogus democratic party) and his vetoes across the St. Clair and St. Mary’s rivers, by the way of the mouths of the Mississippi, into the Gulf of Mexico. Being a “smal! potato,” he didn’t make much or asplash when he fell. A few Southern Senators (of the dry nurse species) were hanging the little fellow out to dry at last accounts. A call, signed by thirty-two demoerats, is publish- ed, calling the democrats of Columbia county, New York, together, to send delegates to the Fremont State Convention at Syracuse, to- morrow. Judge Hogeboom, J. C. Anable, A. F. Miller, and others like them, will go out to the Con- vention. The Ionia (Michigan) Gazette, which has up to this time supported the candidates of the slave @riving democracy, has hauled down the flag of Bu- ebanan and Breckinridge, and raised the banner {n- seribed with the names of Fremont and Dayton. James Meacham has been nominated for Congress by the Fremont constitutional party in the Second district of Vermont. Hon. Jere. Clemens has taken the stump in Ala- bama for Fillmore and Donelson. He promises to riddle the Cincinnati Convention and platform, or his name is not Jere. Timothy Ives, the democratic candidate for Sar- veyor General in Pennsylvania, has been forced to decline the nomination on account of a charge of fraud being made against bim in handling the pub- lic money. The Democratic State Committee has ealied a convention of the delegates of the last con- vention at Chambersburg, on the 6th of August next, to nominate another candidate.

Regarding Mr. Fillmore’s late administration, no ‘man can, truth and fairness, declare that it was in anywise partial to —y section of the country, or that it was controlied or influenced by the interests of'any institution peculiar to any mere section of it. Candid men and its true history bear testimony “to the contrary. Your allegation that “when President of the United States, he (Mr. Fillmore) was certainly sub- ordinate to the slave power,” betrays a recklessness of truth which is painfal in degree with the eminence of its source. The only evidence of this broad and groundless assertion is, that the Fugitive Slave law “ bears the signature of Millard Fillmore, as Presi- 4 : dent of the United States.” Now, every! who has any knowledge of the history of the of that law knows that it was embraced in what is romise measures of 1850"’—that at passage a crisis existed in the country only equalled by the present, in danger to the safety and continuance of the Union—that those roved, under the ty—that passagt harmony to the country, which must have n perpetual, had it not been for the unhallowed ipterference with the Missouri compromise by North- ern men-~that the Fugitive Slave law was held to be constitutional by the legal advisers of President Fillmore, who were the best in the land—that that Jaw has also been held to fi fF S : e 4 E l i i ey 5 i: i | ¥ Fe i i i EF Hell 5 3 i i E Fi A EE Hy 3 Fi a ef sks ge 2 s> = “ entire subserviency " to the slave power. *“ As to Mr. Fillmore’s Americanism, you and I have some knowledge,” I am happy to say.

The real motives of such are covered over by too thin a pretence not to be de- tected. However unsatisfactory the finale of that affair may have been to those who were interested in the vessel, and in certain hidden schemes which were then, and still are believed to have been ¢on- nected with it, there can be no doubt that the coun- try approved of the course of President Fill more in re- lation to the whole of it. Nothing bat the tateat aui- mosity of an individual who was intimately connec: ted with and deepiy concerned in that affiir, caused by a summary check of his unwarranted awamy tion and arrogance, could ever have distorted Mr. Fillmore’s action in the Crescent City affair into a reflection on his Americaniam, or suggested it a: proof of lis carelesances regarding the rights of an American citizen.

And his benevolence and humanity as a governor are questionable, simce to save his baggage. he left a large number of men who were under his charge to perish amidst the deep snows in the wilderness.

In short, what or where ineli his fife or character is there anything to be found which.can be pledged by one honest, candid American heart to another a3 an car- nest that Col. Fremont is the man for President of the United States, especiaily in the present emer- gency? Nothing beyond that which might be pledged of thousands of men of his age in the land. And I do not believe that the country, fruitful as it may be of great men, has yet yielded such acrop of Presidents. Now, re; ig Mr. Fremorit’s Americanism, he has not yet given even the shadow of an indication that he has any feeling in common with, or embraces a single ey or sentiment of the American party. He dare not do it. On the contrary, his answers to gentlemen who, whilst attending the Convention in New York, in June, interrogated him on the sul , 80 tar as given, ignored the party as such; and he would not venture an expression favor- able to any single one of its dogmas. He was then in the custody of the republican ; and whatever his sentiments may have been in that regard, his his lips and he dare not utter them.

The Kansas Contested Election—The Appropria- tions—Frauds and Corruption—The Duel. The House Committee on Elections are ready to make their report on the Kansas contested seat, giving it against General Whitfield, the present oc- cupant. Debate will be cut off by a demand for the previous question, when the committee's report will be adopted. 3 The Appropriation bill, which is not yet half com- pleted, will exceed in amount, withou’ the Omnibus, some millions over any of its predecessors. I am informed by one of the committee, that in the ex- penditure of money by the Pierce administration some startling exhibitions will be presented of ac tual frand, coming under the head of appropria- tions, by the last Congress. The President and his Secretary of the Treasury in many instances have taken upon themselves to understand a give and directly opposite meaning to the plain intent of Congress, while in other cases, a8 I have stated, palpable fraud has been detected in the appropriation of the public funds. Favorites, many of them newspaper propric- tors and editors, have been largely provided for, and a penny sheet, published not far from this spot, but a late insane advocate of Pierce's renomination, Tam assured, has received in cash, from the public treacary, a8 an equivalent for merely spouting up the claims of Pierce, but charged to public priating, the respectable sum of thirty thousand dollars, in 18 months. This paper is now an advecate for bu chanan, and one of the Porney directors of th resent adigingtration, when in full powem Mr. all Yeas BO noed his investigation® too early, And the field which is now open to him promises a3- tounding results. Many seem to think thatthe pre- sent committee will end its labors, after the fashion of those of its predecessors, Sut in this they will be mistaken, asthe person who is at the head of it can neither be bought or trified wits. President Pierce deeply regrets his hasty speech, made from the portico of the White House, on the receipt of Buchanan's nomination. He has experi- ence T this regret frequently, but urges in extenna tion of his blunder that he was over-persuaded by Gen. Cass and Douglas, of the Senate. The efforts which interested partisans in this city are making to show that the present administration is a unit, in supporting Mr. Buchanan, is positively false. Pierve aside, neither Davis or Cushing are his friends, and Fillmore’s election would be preferable to either of them to Buchanan's. In conversation on Saturday evening with Gen. Houston, who is fresh from the South, I was assured that Fillmore would get as ma- a Scuthern States as Buchanan, while a gentleman who was present—a democratic editor, Virginia —said that that State would cast, for the Know No- thing Presidential candidate, ten thousand more votes than it did when Wise was elected. Georgia, Gen. Houston gives for certainty for Fillmore. Each day the question is becoming more interesting, and the desire stronger to know how Mr. Buchanan is to be elected, and where the States will come from thatare toeecthim.

The ignominious overthrow of Daniel Shays and the insurgents of Massachusetts, in 1787, was not, it seems, much of a lesson to some portions of the peo- ple. They seemed to cherish a revolutionary spirit years after the Revolution was ended, and were dis- posed to object to what did not please them. In 1791 Congress had enacted laws laying duties upon spirits distilled within the United States, and upon stills also. The whiskey drinkers in four west- ern counties of Pennsylvania combined together to obstruct the collection of the duties, and scenes of violence very often occurred. On one occasion an inspector of the revenue was attacked in his house and several of the inmates were wounded. A mar- shal of the district was fired on while in the perform: ance of his duty,and was firally compelled, by + body of armed men, to forbear the execution of {!.« duties of his office, and, indeed, to fly that part of Oe ae Washington found it necessary to i ‘resident Wa mn found it n inter fere. In Shays’ case there had been no overt act against the United States; in this instance theie were many. On the 7th of August, 1794, he issved a proclamation, couched in firm, but mild language, commanding the insurgents to disperse. This aot producing the expected results, he issued anvthe: on the 25th of September, alluding to the perver-e spirit with which the first had been received, and announcing his d*termination to enforce the law. The ontrages continued. Between the date of the proclamations the insurgents increased in num bers and audacity. Several thousands had rendez- youred at Braddock’s Field. They were joined hy ries from Virginia; and finally a convention together to take into consideration the state of we estern country. The strike for whiskey hed wh into an attempt to regulate afluirs in general. missioners from the United States and from Pennsylvania had met the conferees appointed by the insurgents, but nothing definite was eccom| . ed. The President ordered out the militia, to tho number of 15,000 men, and placed them under the command of Governor Lee, of Maryland, while he himself proceeded to Bedford to issue instruction». ‘This formidable force, and the personal presence of Washington, were too much for the insurgents They resolved to submit, and communicated formal: ly their intentions.

Her mother, her only living parent, was ambitious; and, in the thoughtless desire to make an alliance of fashion, opposed the union of her child with one who had only his talents and the future to give in retarn for s0 much beauty and wealth. The young lady, however, was more disinterested; mutu: vows of attachment were exchanged, a corres- pondence and frequent personal interviews succeed- ed, and the fature seemed to promise a most happ, consummation of al! our wishes. At that time had just commenced, under favorable circum- stances, my profession in my native town; and, meking some character, was finally engaged as counsel in a suit of importance before one of the courts holden in the city of Philadelphia. The P' ity was favorable to make an impressson, if 1 possessed the oe todo so; and I gi ac- cepted the position, and bent my whole euergies t> accomplish my ambition. Arranging to write fre- quently to one who divided my heart with my busi ness duties, and to receive frequent epistle in re- tun, I set out for Philadelbhia, expecting to be ab- sent at most not more than two weeks. The law's delays, however, detained me a ‘month beyond the anticipated time; and, although I succeeded beyond my Most sanguine expectation, and established my- tlt in a position before the ‘highest court of my native State, my triamphs were dashed that in all the time thus engaged I had not received a line from Lancaster, instead of which the atmos- phere was filled with romors that the person qj whom I had eet my affections had been sedaced into the ambitious designs of her thoughtless parent, and that I had been discarded—a tl I could not ge and yet the,dreadfu! silence seemed to in- Tse. “At last, released from my engagement, I took the usual, and, in those , the only conveyance to Lancaster—the he idleness conseqnent upon travelling gave time for co1 thoughts, and my suspense became painful to the last degree, and, unable to bear the slow pace of my convey- ance, I determined to a the usual time of my pony by making the miles upon horse- .

I received all Isent for, save, perhaps, some forgotten flower. “That night the young lady, ac jied by a te- male servant, left for Philadelphia. Arriving at her unele’s house, she complained of being fati; with ber journey, and retired to her room. Com- plaining of some serious pain, only soothed by nar- cotics, she sent her faithful but un: ing ser- vant and friend toa pom rere ype store for lan- dapum, received it, expressed wish to be alone, and seemingly retired. to sleep. The following morning, not making her appearance, the ay be- came aermed, broke open the door, and foand the young lady dead—in her hand the little keepsake tetained from my correspondence. The un:le, as if comprehending the’ particulars which led to this dreadful tragedy, had the body encoffined, and with it returned to Lancaster. Placing all that remained ofthis once lovely beimg in the parlor, he bronght the mo‘her forward, and displayed what he was pleased to term the result of her work. “T was sent for, and arrived to witness the elo- quent agony of that mother’s ‘heart. Over thecold remains of the daughter #he re [i rticu- lors that led to the awful result. My letters and hers, by untiring industry, the command of large resources, and paid agents, had been all intervept- ed. The reason of my prolonged absence in Phi- ladelphia bad been explained as the result of the fascinating charms of city belles; even an en; ment had veen pronounced. All this while the vic- tim Lad been full of hope. Bhe had heard of my arri- val in Lancaster, bot not of my accident; for long weary hours she sat in the parlor my pre- wenee, but docmed to pve rn ere was seeming indifftrence—a confirmation of all that sbe bad heard. On the other side, I was made the dupe of the mother’s arts, and the fiend who had poison- ed wy ear wes merely the agent to carry ferward the great wrong. The last interview I have descrit- ed, whieh resuited in the retarn of « nce, was enthrouded in the consequences of all these lens.
