Premeditated treason—the real issue—Union or
Disunion.
When Mr Sumner closed bis r cent speech in
i the Senate, the venerable patriot and statesman
L< wis Cass, ruse and pronounced it “ the most un-
peels. except its rhetoric A
styi*-, Mr. Sumners speech has a fit parallel in an
elaborate editorial article on the “ Presidency, ” in
the New York Courier and Enouiier of the 26th
instant. No one who is not blind with fanaticism,
or deliberately bent on tlice disruption of the Union
can read the two first paragraphs without feeling

incendiary, or Ihe deliberate purposes ol a confirm

adelphia, niaasciiibled on Friday, aud. Hanks hav- "
ing declined, nominated Fremont. Of the event,
the Neyv York Herald of Saturday says:
1 iie sudden change which has taken place in
the sentiments of the Convention in regied to Mr
1 remnnt is attributable to the fact that that gen
tleman yyas waited on last night by a delegation
lrom this party, yyith whom he had a long and
earnest confabulation, extending into the small
hours of the morning—that lie tin n and there de
clared himself unreserved* 1 ]y jn favor of the prin
ciples of the Know-Nothing party, and would give
them his entire and cordial adherence, and iliat lie
was p-rfectly convinced that if ho did not receive
the support of the American party throughout the
Union, he had not the slightest piospect ut being
elected.”
It will be recollected that the balloting which
resulted in the nomination of Banks exhibited the
fee* that Fremont was the second choice of the
know-nothing 1 convention. Doubtless had the
my-tuber*been as well assured ot bis sympathy
with an iplbrsion to know c-thingism in the oiit-
«-t as they were at the interview mentioned by the
ilerabl, he w ould have been its lirst choice.
Thus, the amalgamation b-twe n northern
know-nothingism and black repuhlicauiam is tho
rough and complete, so far as the presidential Can
dida's is concerned. Tliespiit on the vice president
is but a tempoary affair L'he know-nothings de
fad d to adhere to Johnston, hut he will be, with
drawn st the moment that shall be deetird most
c >nuucive to the interests i f the common opposi
tion.
7 ue spirit by whichthe know-nothing convention
was animated in ratifying tlie nouiinatior. of 1 rc-
713011; may be gilbered from the speeches of mem
bers, as reported by th** Neyv York papers, Mr.
Mott, ofNeov York, said:
‘‘.Vs Americans they had endeavored to | ut in
nomination loot.>re tiie p.opj,. such can busies as
the Am, riean party could support, 'l in y had
nominated Mr. lianks for their President. He had
now withdrawn from the contest. He was the
first choice of tiie convention, and lie tliouglit iliat
upon him they could have rallied the North so as
to have carried lnm into the presidential chair if he
had received the nomination at Philadelphia.—
[A^piause j Bnt he had failed to receive the en
dorsement of the republican parly. Who has then
th next choice of the convention? Colonel Fre
mont, he considered, was their next choice. [Ap
plause.] They lost nothing in principle by being
driveB to the necessity of parting jn nomination
Colonel Fremont, who was their second choice.
[Applause.] If this convention had been assured
that Mr. Banks would not have accepted their
nomination, he was bold to say that they would
have nominated Colonel Fremont. [Applause ]
Ex-Lieatenatit Governor Ford, of Ohio who
sought to give the presidential election thecomplex-
ioii of a contest of religious creeds, said:
“This hydra headed monster of Poperv yvas
driven out in California, and the Standard of l’ro-
t stnutism ere; ted upon its soil, by tile bands of
this same Co! Fremont.”
Mr. Perkins, of Connecticut, it appears to us,
yvas not very discreet, lie undertook to make it out
tbit the republicans had nominated a man lor
1* -admit who does not belong to the republican
par v. .Said lie:
“Mr Fremont belongs to no party: he is not a
Urhniceri member of the republican party: but be
represents the principles of both, and, therefore, is
just the man for the American party in ils plan of
opposition to foreign dominion and domestic ty
ranny in this country. ”
Mr. Waterbary, of New York, said :
“ He had voted for John C. Fremont first in this
convention. He had looked on matters as they
stood, and liaJ rather ride on the waves than be
overwhelmed by them. Some Americans outside
had i xpressed their fear of this party being mv,al
lowed up by the Republicans. [No. no. ] For his
part he yvas ready to unite with any party which
would overthrow the Democracy. ” [Cheers.]
Tiiis is enough. We need not quote further to
establish ihe fact that Fremont, at the intervieav
inentioned by the Herald, committed himself to the
Kuoyv Nothings m their entire satisfaction. lie is,
beyond all question, pledged to their proscriptive
pnqost-s—pledged, in the event of his election, to
appoint no persons of foreign birth to office, and to
recommend such an amendment to the naturaliza
tion laws as will abridge the political privileges of
naturalized citizens.
'I h it hfemonc should thus join hints.-If to the
party of Know Nothingism si*eins to us monstrous,
wh -n we recall the attested fact that he is himself
ihe son of a foreigner. His father yvas a Frenchman
who emigrated to this country at the age of man
hood. Fremont would disfranchise ais own father
were his father alive !

Never did a party taper off so rapidly, and

take their candidates, and thus make a common
cause. This was at once refused. They then beg
ged for the Vice, if they could not have both, and
this was flatly refused. They then asked for an

A DEMOCRATIC SONG.
BY J. GILMORE WEST.
Though foes surround on eve’ry side
Our Democratic band.
Yet by our man—the country s pride—
We firmly now will stand,
And r.rse on high our battle cry,
And stand in bold array—
For Buchanan and Breckenridge
We mean to win th:: day.
Though friends false-hearted tried to gain
By treason in the fight,
We rallied then upon the plain,
And showed our cause was right.
And o’er our head the banner spread,
The stars and stripes display.
We raise on high our battle-cry—
We mean to win the day.
Then rally now and face the foe,
And be united for ever.
And let no base-born faction now
Tlii* glori -ti' Union sever;
But on! pursue the foe in view!
And shout while on your way:
“For Buchanan and Breckenridge,
He mean to irin the, day!"

During the war of 1812, a man with a good deal
of bluster, waited upon President Madison, and
asked for a General’s commission in the army.
The President informed him that there were no
vacancies in that grade. “Well, then,” said the
applicant, “I don’t care if I take a Union i’» com
mission.” But here again the line was full, as
the President informed him “Give m. a Major’s
commission,'’ said the applicant, bn
full there a'so. F’rorn thi«. lie fell n, a <’»; tarn i,
and then a Lieutenant, hut the answer of the
President was much the same; lie couid not accede

The Star (Cobdenitei loudly protests against
war. and condems Mr Crauipton's conduct iu the
severest terms It says he is utterly unfit fordi-
plomaey, and asking who he is, that the country
should be involved in war to save his honor, thus
answers its o\\ n query:—
He is a fourth or fifth-rate man, the soil of Lord
Clarendon’s medical attejident in Ireland, who,
as | hy dint of that system of patronage and favoritism
r’s | which is the curse of our country, has been pushed
as i into a position for which, according to the iiuani-
v, j m ous testimony ofall who know him, he is utterly
and notoriously unfit.
* * " And this is the man, to save
w hose dignity we are called upon to he ready, if
need he, to he prodigal of our tflood and treasure.
But : fthc people of England really wish to he saved
from a doom so calamitous and so ignoble, let them
meet at ouce, and protest; and slum Id there be no
other remedy, let them hurl from power the lflnn-
dmirigadministation that threatens to expose them
to this bitter humiliation.

MR- BRAMPTON' NOT WORTH .A WAR.
The Liverpool Times suggests to Lord Palmers
ton a better plan of disposing of Mr. Crampton
than making hint the cause of war with the United j the awful
States. It says:
j Assuredly, Mr. Crampton lias proved himsi If an
| arrant bungler throughout the w hole of this eulist-
, uiont controversy, and when the question of peace
I or war turns upon bolstering up a minister who
| has been sadly too weak for bis position, a door is
j opened by which these annoying dis| utes may be
p got lid of. All that Mr. Crampton desires is. to
! stand well with the Foreign office, his employers,
| and if the head of that establishment prefers his
v -racily in certain transactions to tin testimony
of a group of American Senatois, some, of them the
first men of the Union, lie can show it by giving
the ex-British Embassad-ir anotli -r appointment,
which would he the most acceptable salvo to his
wounded feelings But. whatever estimate Mr
Brampton may form of himself, we itope it ha*
never end red into his cranium to suppose that he
is of sufficient importance to set the iwo countries
by the ears, for if such in his belief, bis egotism is
doomed to receive a decid -d shock
And of the dismissal of Mr. Dallas it says:
To meet the offers of concession tendered by th

The Position of the German Papets.
NA e see in the Globe of yesterday a statement
t.iat “the New York Post claims all the leading
aerinan papers of the West are in favor of the
nomination of Fremont.” This statement is pro
bably put forth upon the strength of the notice
given by the Cincinnati Gazette of the Kith in
stant, of a meeting at Cincinnati the previous
evening of ten editors of the German papers of
th? \\ est. representing, as it was said, 7(»,iMiO sub
scribers, and pledging themselves to-support the
nominees for President and Vice President of the
United States to be made by the Black Republican
Convention in Philadelphia. An intelligent Ger
man assures us that there was not one of the leading
German papers of the West connected with that
movement; and, in fact, that there is not one
government on the
footstool, that our entire community lias been ex
cited and alarmed for our safety. Day by day we
have been told of the coming storm, and week by
week informed tiiat our wicked rulers w ere plot
ting our destruction; monied men have withheld
their money front new enteiprises, and tbe com
mercial community lias been kept in a state o!
high fover and aiarm from the beginning to the
end of tlieyear. To say that the leading newspapers
of this city, and tliai r Wasniugton reporters, who
have predicted and reported ail sorts of vague
prophesies and rumors regarding our foreign rela
tions, have caused all this, is saying only what every
candid man knows to be true, yet tbe papers are
still earnest in tlu-.ir efforts to fasten it all itjion the

were divided have lneasurab-y passed awav, anil Nu'lui
m w and dangerous heresis hating arisen, threat
ening to the very vitality of the Union and the
perpetuity ot our liberties, it is but an act of pat
riotism tints to consort in a common cause against
opposition and iu b-half of the right.
We are glad that Messrs. Dixon and Powell
have enlisted in tiie canvass. They possess not
only great personal popularity, but are about the
most effective stump speak' rs in Kentucky.—
When ver they appear they will cany great weight
with them. There are, indeed, none of the know-
uothing rank and tile who will dat e confront them
in public debate. Their names are pillars o'
strength—tli.-ir eloquence that of burning words
—their characters are above reproach.
Tiie bailie in Kentucky its.s now fairly begun,
and we feel certain that t* e issue under tio con
tingency is doubtful. It will be impossible tor
Kentuckians to throwaway their votes upon a
forlorn candidate; and being assured, as they will
bo by the events ot this week, of the desperate de
termination of the northern anti slavery forces to
unite upon one man, they can no longer hesitate
to select the candidates of that pari v induhiltably
sound upon tlie vexed qu stion o' .slavery, and not
onlv sound, but strong in ail sections.
The late Inundation in France-
We take great pleasure in laying before the

are quite confident that it is only necessary for tiie
people of the United States to become aware of
calamity which lias brought so much
misery and ruin to thousands of F’reitch families to
secure a universal response to his touching appeal.
Our citizens never have forgotten, and never can
forget, the signally important aid rendered to us In
France when wo were struggling for the ver
liberties wirirh we now enjoy; and as. this is tin
first opportunity that lias been presented, since the
great debt n as incurred, of showing onr gratitude
as a nation in tiie only way compatible with the
spirit of our institutions and th- 1 settled policy of
our government, we trust that svsteiua’ic efforts
"ill be at once made to convince, if not the world,
at least, the people of France, that republics are not
ungrateful:

falleu l-Vancr, The rt ports have not exaggerated llie
taels of the case. The inundation which has
buried under water many of her cities and towns
and vast extents of tier territory has been "fa
most extensive and destructive character. The
crops in *be inundated district, cove; ing fifteen de
partments, must he destroyed; and not oulvso, hut
the rivers have brought down iu their torrnal* de*
posits of gravel and sand, which to the depth of
several feet and covering a great extent, lias made
a permanent evil which years of labor and expense
will be required to remove. In the towns and
villages houses have been destroyed. Poverty
and sutfi ring have fallen spin thousands, and
Franco, as a nation, is in mourning for the sutfer-
itifirs of so many of iier people.
fli" government lias indeed come to the relief in j
a nm«t honorable manner, and public and pi it ate 1
snliscrip'ioiis are aiding to alleviate the miseries of j
the suffering.
It is ihe woe of the nation, appeals to other eiv-
ilized communities for sympathy and aid. The i

am sure wili respond to this extra- rdinarv claim i

Departure nf Cadre lift.—The Washington cor-

j says in his last letter:
I "Padre Vijil has summarily closed his mission,
and will return to Nicaragua by the first steamer,
leaving the legation iu charge of some responsible
person. Personal .and not poiilieai reasons influ
enced this step. The combined efforts made u-
gainst Kim by the foreign ministers here sm-eeed-
ed, not only in damaging his social position, hut
even in prejudicing liis -ecclesiastical relations,
which lie regarded of far more importance.
“it was ouly very recently, and after a full in-
i vestigalion, that the Ar Ain.shop of Baltimore
j granted him tin* privileges of the Catholic priest
hood. the exercise of which had bam previously
r- fused m a manner that deeply wounded 1.is sen
sibilities. Although gratifh d by this recognition
and endorsement of his character, still he felt that
lie would be more happy by returning to Granada,
the scene of his life-long labors, where he is uui-
versally respected and cherished. There is no
doubt that the Padre, was induced to assume his
recent functions by a sense of duty to his country,
and by a firm conviction that, in espousing the
cause wt AValker, he was contributing, til the most
effective fojm, to accomplish that object. Now
that be lias gone, people will begin to think bet
ter of him.”

Ilalloiray's Pills, an invaluable remedy for Drop
sical Symptoms. Mrs Emma Huntley, of Hous
ton. Texas, aged 48, last fall was thrown upon a
bed of sickness, her feet and logs began to swell,
strongly indicating dropsy at this period of life.
Her husband became greatly ahiimed, as it was
feared that she could not recover, so dreadful was
the attack. After try ing many rentedii s without
hem fit Mr. 'Huntley, at last, put low under a
course of Holloway's Pills, which she took for
about three weeks, and the swelling considerable
diminished; hy continuing them for five, weeks
more, she was completely cured. These pills wili
also cure all billious and liver complaints in a
very short time.
An Overu helming Repiv.
In the course of a long, able, and withering re
ply to the oft-refuted slanders ill regard to the fed
eralism of Mr. Buchanan, the New York Day
Book says:
“Now, the truth is. Mr Biichaii.au never was a
federalist in the true sens e of that term. A fed
eralist was an opposor of the war of 181*2: Mr. Bu
chanan supported the war by his own good sword.
Mr. Buchanan was elected to Congress the lirst
time in 182.1, and as a supporter of Mr. Monroe’s
administration; yet as this administration was sup
ported hy the federalists, the Clintonians. and
Democrats, it gives his enemies a chance to sav
he was a federalist. The true way to determine
what he was is to go to the record. Did he sup
port federal or whig measures? Did he favor a
strict or liberal construction of the constitution?
By their fruits ye shall know them. Now almost
the first speech (and a most able one it was) Mr.
Buchanan made on the floor of Congress was in
ojijtositioii to a bankrupt law. Iu this speech
he showed its injustice to the laboring classses,
awd its wrong in granting special privileges to the
few.
“Upon other questions his record is equally
democratic. Party lines then were not draw n.
The old federal party bad forsaken its principles,
and made pretensions to the 'e.ara of good
feeling,’ as it was called. AVhen, however, Mr.
Mon re drew the lines in Ids celebrated message
upon internal improvement, and iu the enuncia
tion of the Moure doctrine, the goats soon sep
arated from the sheep. I he former all at once be
came ‘national republicans,’ and Mr. Clay, cha
grined and disappointed, joined them. AA’here
was Mr. Buchanan all through this? Did he go
off after the strange gods of tin republican party,
like so many pretended democrats of the, present
day? Not at all. AA’e find him unwavering in his
support of democratic principles from the day
lie entered oil the floor of Congress until the
present, and ire defy his enemies to prove different

Fifty Dollars Reward by a Mechanic.
To the. editor nf the Constitutionalist.
I authorize you to offer a reward of fifty dollars
for tin- proof that .lutiic* Buchanan said, in a
speech in the United States Senate in !8J8. as
stated iu some of the newspapers, that h-* “consider
ed irn rents a day was enough for a laboring
man.'’
It is the general belief with the Know Nothings
that mechanics have no *>ense. I have found no
one iliat could make good this statement about
Old Buck,” so I thought I w ould offer a reward
for the desired information, that those who have
got so much more sense than the mechanics, can
turn their knowledges some profit.

of Bibb, and Cone of Bulloch, were appointed a
eommuteo to invite the Military and Civic proces
sion to seats in the Hall, for the purpose of joining
in the celebration of the day.
The meeting was then organised and the exer
cises opened with prayer by the Rev. Fir. Flinit, 1
after which th* lion. AYm. H. Stiles of Chatham, ’
Orator oi the day. was introduced to the audience,
and entertained the Convention with a chaste, pol
ished and eloquent address, replete avith language

outhern American mouther of the House expre's-
d the opinion in our hearing, that there wouid bo
no tight, and that Mr. Buchanan would walk over
the ground to the AA’bite House. To which Mr.
'■tepltms, of (Borgia, replied—You are very in itch
mistaken. There will b*- a tight, and a fierce one.
But with Mr. Burlianan.aiid the national,constitu
tional platform of the Cincinnati Convi tttion, the
opposition avill be beaten, and abolitionism, free-
soilism, .and all the other isms will be buried so
deeply beneath the popular reprobation that they
wiil kuuw no resurrection for a half century to
come.
