th •’ .WSetWe fnion <& American, June I.'.
Near Nashville, »
Friday Morning, June 13, 1350. i
To it<e Editors of the ( nion tv American :
Gentlemen: I attended the ratification meetiug
n Thursday niglit, and should have addressed it
when called upon, hut for the lateness of the hour,
and the belief that the able addresses alieadv
made, had rendered further speaking unnecessary.
I had gone to that meeting not on I v to sigu.fv
tny cordial approbation of the nominations made,
hut to allude to the stale and obsolete charge now
revived against Mr. liuclianan, that in early life
he was a Federalist, and so much of a Federalist,
as to have declared “that if he knew he had a
drop of Democratic blood in his veins, lie would
let it out.”
1 intended to remind my countrymen that if he
ever was a Federalist, that it was more than forty
years ago, and that even then he was ju-t such a
Federalist as was ready and did actually raise a ;
volunteer company, and march to the defence of
his country. What a pity that we didn’t have a
few more Federalists of that sort in tlie trying
time of the war of 1*12?
As it relates to that wretched slander about the
drop of Democratic blood in his reins, 1 intended
to'read the proud and triumphant documcnl
which 1 now send you for publication—adocument
which I have long had in my possession, and on i
which 1 have often defended Mr. Buchanan with '
entire success in many of inv public speeches in
Tennessee and elsewhere. 1 desire it to be imme
diately republished, iu older that the public mind
may not become poisoned and corrupted bv a ;
slander that has long since been refuted in Penn- !
srlvutiia. Yours, respectfully,
A iitov V. Brown.
From the Harrishuru y Pa.) Reporter.
We observe by the report of Congressional pro
• dings, in the National lnteUiyencer, of March
th, that ou the previous Friday evening our Sen
utor Buchanan was assailed by Mr. Morgan, of ;
Ner> York, and Mr. Cooper, of Pennsylvania, upon
♦he floor of the House of Representatives, with
the charge of once having said in a 4th of .lull
..ration, “that if lie thought lie had one drop of •
Democratic blood in his veins he would let it out.’’
This charge ivas promptly contradicted by Mr. i
liamsey and General Keni, of the Pennsylvania I
delegation.
It is not our intention at present to make any j
comments upon this ridiculous storv, which first i
riginated, in 1523, immediately preceding Mr.
Buchanan's fifth election to Congress, hut merely J
to republish the letter of that gentleman to the ed- j
itor of the Pennsylvania Inquirer and Courier, da
ted February 27th‘, 1338, contradicting the charge {
. i explicitly and unequivocally as to silence the
-lander, it was supposed forever. This letter was
elicited by a similar charge, made in debate by ,
Mr. Cox, a member of the Convention, for amend
ing the Constitution of Pennsylvania, in May, 1837. ;
It was then promptly repelled, before the Conven
tion, by the present Judge Porter and Emanuel C.
Reigart, both members of that body - the first a
prominent Democrat, and tin* latter one of the an
ti Masonic party in Pennsylvania. Had this senti
ment, <-r anything like il, ever been uttered by Mr.
Buchanan, at a “political meeting in the court
house in Lancaster,” these two gentlemen, from
their position and character, must either heard it
themselves, or immediately heard it from others;
both of i hemTreing residents of that city when it
was alleged to have been uttered, and Mr. Reigart
having resided there ever since. The charge would
have specially attracted public attention at that
time, as Mr. Buchanan was a successful candidate
tor the State Legislature, both in October, 1814,
and October, 1315.
Mr. Cox, not satisfied the contradict ton of Mr. with ,
Potter and Mr. Reigart,endeavored to obtain
of the charge, and renewed in a letter to the Editor
of the “ I‘ennsyleoni luquier d' Courier," da
ted February 24, and published in that paper of
February 26tli, I*BB, the testimony which lie then
adduced in support of it, and all which could be
collected after a laborious search, consists of
the certificate of a certain Anthony McGlinn, and
an extract of a letter from George Ford, jr., both
of which, it will be perceived, arc referred to in
the following letter of Mr. Bucliauan.
T< the KFJrr . f tin Penm-ylcania lnquit-rr dr Con- 1
rier :
Washington CtTT, Feb. £7, 1333.
Sir: I have ibis moment perused the letter of
,1. F. Cox, published in yesterday's Jwjuin r. His
late official station, as a member of the convention,
induces me to notice the stale slander which he
again repeats, ati-,l'which 1 note prontmnee f»he ut
terly ami abs ’lot, 1 y false, no matter from what
source it may ini a proceeded, or shall proceed. 1
never did, upon any occasion, public or private,
whether at the Court-house in Lancaster, or else
where, declare that, “ if 1 knew 1 had a drop of
Democratic blood in my veins, 1 would let it out,"
or anv words to that effect. This rldieubnit story
■ d-inait a shadow of JuundatiOii.
The first version of the story was, that I lmd
used the expression in an oration which 1 had de
livered, at the Court House in Lancaster, on the
4th of July, 1815. The oration itselt disproved
this assertion, and then, after Mr. Cox had made it
. subject of debate before the Reform Convention,
in May last, one of the papers at Harrisburg so- ,
1. ninly announced that the expression had been
used by me, on the [floor of the House of Repre
seutatives, in this city, in reply to Gov. Floyd, of
Virginia, and that it could be proved by a gentle
man who had formerly been a Democratic repre
sentative in Congress, from Pennsylvania. The
scene is now again shifted to the Court House in
Laiicas er, and a certain Anthony McGlinn is the :
witness. He states that “ a number of years ago, j
oue evening,” whilst T was addressing a political
meeting there assembled, he had heard me use the
expression already staled “in an emphatic man
ner, with in v right hand elevated above my bead.” !
He does not state the year when this expression
was used, nor the name of any other person who .
was present at this public meeting.
It does not seem to have oceured to Mr. Cox,
that if I had uttered such a sentiment as that at -
tributed to me in the court In-nse at Lancaster, it
would have been heard by hundreds of people—
that it would immediately have become the sub
ject of universal remark and universal condemna
tion, and that it would have been severely and
justlv commented upon in the newspapers of the
dav.* Had it been true, there would have been
no"occasion for him to resort to Anthony McGlinn
to prove the charge, nor to a conversation alleged
bv Mr. Ford to have been held w ith Mr. Peter
Shindel, who although a respectable, is an aged
man ; and from a delect in memory, incident to
that period of life, must hare confounded what
mar have been stated to him by others, with what
he had heard himself. But I again repeat, no
matter who has been or shall be the witness, the
tale is utterly and absolutely false.
Shortly after the slander was made a subject of
debate by Mr. Cox, iu the Reform Convention, a
number of the oldest and most respectable citizens
of Lancaster, without distinction of party, signed
a certificate disproving the charge, so far as it
was possible for a negative to be proved, which
was placed and still remains in the hands of one
of mv friends. After what had been said in reply
to Mr. Cox. by Mr. Porter and Mr. Reigart, who
must either have heard the expression, had it been
used, or heard of it immediately after, I deemed
it wholly unnecessary then to publish this certifi
cate. Yours, verv respectfully,
J vmks Bcciiaxax.
We have said, in the commencement of this ar
ticle, that we would, at this time, publish nothing
in refutation of this charge, but Mr. Buchanan's
own letter. We have, however, procured a copy
of the certificate, to which Mr. 8., refers, and give
it publicity below for the first time. In doing so,
we will boldly assert, that the thirty subscribers
to it are gentlemen of as much moral worth and
respectability us can be found among the same
number of individuals in any other community in
the Union, raid we venture to say, that no respect
able man in Pennsylvania of any political parti,
after reading Mr B.’s contradiction, endorsed bv
the cool and deliberate declaration of these gen
ilemeu, will reiterate the charge, believing him
self in its truth.
[oEKTiriCATE.]
Several id' the undersigned have known Mr. Bu
chanan ever since he first came to Lancaster, to
study law with the late Janies Hopkins, and the
"thers for many years past. We are all convinced
that if, at a public meeting at the court-house, or
any where else in this city, to had ever used such
an expression, or any thing like it, as that which
has been attributed to him by Mr. Cox, iu the Con
vention, to wit: “ that he had thauked his God he
had not a drop of Democratic blood iu his veins,
and if he had he would let it out,” some of us
would have heard it, and nil of us would have
heard of it, and it must have become a subject of ■
general conversation throughout Lancaster. To 1
the best of our knowledge, it never was mentioned
by any person until the year 182 S, immediately be
fore Mr. Buchanan’s last election to Congress on
| the Democratic Jackson ticket. At this election im
mediately preceded General Jackson’s first election
to the Presidency, .in November, 182 s, 1 and as Mr
Buchanan had been for several vears previously !
his ardent and active supporter,’ he was then op- >
posed with much zeal and bitterness
Ever since we first heard this stoiv, referring
back as it did to ISIS, we have always believed”
and still believe, that it was got up Without anv '
foundation in fact, for the purpose of operating
against Mr. Buchanan’s election to Congress in
13_". Indeed, we had never supposed that anv
person acquainted with his character could be
lieve, that at any period of life, he would, have
i ,na \ Je SUf> h a declaration as now seems to be seri
ously imputed to him.

The following Circular, says the Baltimore Pa
triot, comes to us from J. A. Gambkkll, an experi
enced merchant of New York, dated June 13th. It
j contain* practical remarks. After alluding to the
receipts of letters from his friends, inquiring in
regard to the spring crop, how prices may rule,
Ac., the Circular stales :
“Being directly in the trade for the last ten
years, receiving and selling it all the time, and bv
cotiipariug prices for the last thirty years, I find,
invariably, that tlie wheat which arrives early, or
, during the whole of the month of July, sells at
much higher rates than after it comes freely to
market, as the first new Hour commands such ex
treme high prices.
“The time of harvest is generally a very busy
time with planters, and but verv little is sent to
market until they get through with their corn
crop. And it so happens that the great bulk of
our southern wheat generally arrives herein Au
| gust, which is our warmest weather,
i “Last season I received a eonsiderable’quantity
of wheat. In fact, the greater hulk of it came on
as usual, in August. The weather was uncom
monly hot, and probably over two-thirds of it out
of order, warm, hot, damp, musty, or unsound ;
and having instructions to sell it on arrival, was
compelled to force it off for less than value.
“Wheat that 1 sold at $1.60af1.70 per bushel, had
it arrived here live or six weeks sooner, would
have brought <J2.30a52.40 per bushel, or had it
been kept back until the hist of September, Octo
ber, or November, it would have brought $1.90a \
$£.00a52.12 per bushel, as to quality.
“it is true, the prices, last"seasou, ruled verv ir
rcgulat up and down, and higher than it may for
a long time to come. We usually have our regu
lar breakdown in wheat out of order in August.
We look for it, and our buyers profit by it; and as
such is the case, we recommend our friends and
correspondents, if they can send forward part or
all of their wheat crop early, or tiny lime in July,
provided they ean get it in prime dry shipping or
der, having till the chaff, dust and filth well fan
ncu out of it, to do so; and if not, to keep it back
until September, October or November. Wheat,
it sound, dry, and well cured, the chaff, dust and |
filth well fanned from it, will not heat, or get out j
of order.
“Several of our planters have long since been ;
putting their grain in better shipping order. We
hope others will follow. Any additional outlay to j
put it iu prime, clean, drv shipping order, ivill i
more than pay for the expense.”
Congressional.
Washington-, June 10. Senate. Mr. Brown
submitted a resolution, which was adopted, call
ing ou the President to communicate a copy of the
instructions given to Mr. Buchanan, < ti the free
ships making free goods, and also Mr. Buchanan’s
letter to Earl Clarendon on the same subject.
Mr. Clayton rose to make propositions as he sta
ted, in the sincerity of an honest heart, not as a
partisan of any candidate for the Presidency, but
for harmony, justice and peace in Kansas. He
objected both to Douglas and Seward’s bills for
t!ii> admission of Kansas, on various grounds; the
principal one being the lack of a requisite popula
tion. He introduced a bill to provide for a new
census of Kansas, with apportionment of repre
sentation according to the population, and also
the repeal of certain obnoxious acts in the territo- |
rial legislature. The bill was ordered to be print- ;
ed.
Mr. Adams made a speech in favor of the uatu- ,
ralizution laws.
A resolution was presented fn in the Legislature
of Rhode Island, relative to the assault of Mr.
Brooks on Mr. Stunner.
A long discussion took place in the executive
session, and the Senate adjourned until Thursday
next.
A Si-re Remedy for a Fki.on. It is said by i
somebody who pretends to know all about it, that j
the following is a sure remedy for a felon : Take j
a pint of common soft soap and stir il in air-slack- j
ed lime til! it is of the consistency of glazier’s
putty. Make a leather thimble, fill it with this j
composition, and insert the finger therein. Change j
the composition once in twenty minutes, and a i
cure is certain.
We happen to know that the above is a sure I
remedy, and recommend it to any who may be j
troubled with that disagreeable ailment.

Little Kindnesses.
“ Tis sweet to do somejhinS for those that we love.
Though the favor be ever so small."
Brothers, sisters, did you ever try the effect
which little acts of kindness produce upon that
chatined circle we call home? We love to receive
little favors ourselves ; and how pleasant the re
ception of them makes the circle! To draw up the
arm chair and get the slippers for father, to watch
if anv little service cau be rendered to mother, to
help brother or assist sister, hew pleasant it makes
home!
A little boy has a hard lesson given him at
school, and liis teacher asks him if he thinks he
can get it ; for a moment the little fellow hangs
down his head, but the next he looks brightly up.
“ l can get my sister to help me,” he says. That
is right, sister, help little brother, and you are
binding a tie round his heart that may save him in
many an hour of dark temptation.
“I don’t know how to do this sum, but brother
will show me,” says another little one.
“Sister, I’ve dropped a stitch in my knittiug; I
tried to pick it up, but it has run down, and 1 can’t
1 fix it.”
! The little girl is flushed, and she watches her
ittiiv t.-s UUMJCU, UIIU Mlt* W UllUCn UCi :
sister with a nervous anxietv, while she replaces !
the “naughty stitch.”
“0, I am so glad,” she says, as she receives it ;
again from the hands of her sister, all nicely ur- j
ranged ; “you arc a good girl, Mary.”
“Bring it to me sooner next time, and then it j
won't get so bad,” says the gentle voice of Marv,
as the little one bounds awav with a light heart to
finish her task.
If Mary had not helped her she would have lost I
her walk in the garden. Surely, it is better to do
as Mary did, than to say, “0, go away and don't
trouble me or to scold the little one all the time i
you are performing the trifling favor.
Little acts of kindness, gentle words, loving i
smiles they strew the path of life with flowers ; !
they make* the sun shine brighter, nnd the green
earth greener; and he who bade us “love one
another,” looks with favor upon the gentle and
kind-hearted, and he pronounced the meek bless
i ed.
Brothers, sisters, love one another. If one of
fend, forgive and love him still: and whatever
may be the faults of others, we must remember
that, in the sight of God, we have others as great
and perhaps greater than theirs.
Be kind to the little ones; they will often he
fretful and wavward. Be patient with them, nnd
amuse them. How often a whole family of little
ones are restored to good humor by an elder mem
ber proposing some hew plav, and perhaps joining
in it, gatheiingjthqm around her while relates she
some pleasant storv!
And brothers, do not think because you are
stronger, it is unmanly to be gentle to your little
brothers and sisters.' True nobleness of heart,
and true manliness of conduct, are never coupled
with pride and arrogance.
Nobility and gentleness go hand in hand; and
wlieu l see a voung gentleman kind and respect-
ful to hi* mother, and gentle and forbearing to bis
brothers and sisters, 1 think he has a noble heart.
Ah ! many a mother's atui manv a sister’s heart
has been wrung bv the cold neglect and stiff uu
kindness of those ivhom God ha - made their natu
ral protectors.
Brothers, sisters, never be unkind to one another,
never be ashamed to help one another, never be
ashamed to help any one, and vou will find that
though it is pleasant to receive favors, yet it is
more blessed to give than to receive.

Black Republican Convention
Philadelphia, June 18.—The names of Judge
McLean, Hon. W. 11. Seward au d Gov. Chase
have been withdrawn.
The resolutions adopted eulogize the Constitn
; tion and the Union—declares it the dutv of Con
•I gresa to prohibit slavery in the Territories con
i demns the administration for its persecutions in
Kansas, and favors the admission of Kansas as a
free State favors the Pacific railroad, river and
harbor improvements and extends general invi
tations to all free State men to join hearts on terms
of perfect equality.
We presume Mr. Speaker Banks and Ex-Gover
nor Johnson, were nominated for the Presidency
! and Vice Presidency.]
New York, June I*s. —Col. Fremont authorises
a plump denial of the statements published con
cerning his position. He says he recognizes nei
ther the American or anti-American, Whig, Demo
cratic or Abolition party in the approaching can
vass, but simply a union of the people for freedom
in Kansas, and the arrest of slavery extension.
New York, JunelS. —The advices received from
Havre, by the arrival of the steamer Emeu, repre
sent that the news of Padre Vijil’s recognition as
1 Minister from Nicaragua by the United StatesGov
i ernment, caused great commotion in Paris. The
La Putrk hints at European interference in Cen
tral American affairs.
Three hogsheads of tobacco were sold m
Lynchburg, Va., on the 1 1th inst., at an average of
*Tl.In) per cwt., the highest price being $l5O per
I hundred weight.
Heavyllobbkrt. —On Wednesday night, thellth
inst., the store of (.'apt. Adams, in Smithfield, Va.,
was entered by burglars, and an iron safe robbed of !
$1,500 in money and about SO,OOO in bonds. An j
individual suspected of being concerned in the j
robbery was arrested iu Norfolk on Friday.
L. I). Stockton, of Davenport, has been appoint- !
ed Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of lowa, 1
1 m place of Judge Isbel, resigned.
Peter Johnson, for the murder of Yancey Dia- j
mom), was hung at Greensboro’, North Carolina, on ,
Friday week.
James V. Trimmer, a member of the South Ca- !
rolina Legislature, died on the lsl inst.
The house of Williams, Bathurst A Co., at
New Orleans, has resumed payment.
Fillmore Movements. In Albany Mr, Fillmore
will be warmly received, arrangements being al
ready well progressed. In Buffalo the Common j
Council have appointed a committee to greet him I
on his arrival there.
General Houston. The Galveston Civilian \
says Genera! Houston has been seriously ill at ;
his residence in Huntsville, Texas probably in !
danger but was reported convalescent al last ae- ;
counts.
Hon. .1 ames Buchanan is a graduate of Dickinson I
College, Carlisle, Pa., and was a member of the j
Union Philosophical Society, whose sixty-seventh j
anniversary will be celebrated the Bth of July next. ;
Contradicted. —The Canadian papers contra- I
diet the statement that the British government j
has issued an order prohibiting military eompa- ,
nies from ibis side from crossing into Canada with j
their arms.
A Convenience. Car building in France is
making rapid strides towards perfection. On the j
Orleans railway people can go to bed fairly un- ;
dress, and have as good a night’s rest as they could i
get under a four-poster. For this the traveller ;
pays the price of two seats.
Death ok Mr. Amos Scudder. The Savannah i
Morning Sews, of 17th inst., says : “By a despatch
to his friends in this city, we learn that this old
and esteemed citizen died at Plainfield, N. J., on |
Monday. Mr. S. lias been in failing health for :
some time, and went North with perhaps a faiiit
hope of deriving benefit from the change.'’
The Ixi’amy complete. The anti-Fillmore Know
Nothing Convention, in session in New York, rep
resenting almost the entire Know Nothing strength !
of the North, and comprising delegates from eigh- :
teen Slates and Territories, has determined to
make no nominations for the Presidency', but to j
abide the action of the Freesoil Convention, which !
meets tn-dav, 17tli> in Philadelphia.
The coalition between northern Know Nothings i
and Abolitionists is now complete -no pretence of j
nationality is left, and yet southern men hesitate
how to act.
A sectional question is forced upon ns in spite of
ourselves, livery opposition faction of the North
is signing the proclamation of Freesoilism, and \
fatuity itself can see no hope for the rights of the
.South outside el the nationality of Democracy
vet there are politicians and editors in the South j
who counsel the people to throw their votes upon |
the hopeless chance of Fillmore. This will be but |
play ing, upon a popular stage, the corrupting j
game of the Mat y land and Delaware Know-Nothing j
Representatives in Congress, during the Contest :
for the Speakership of the present lower House.
When the final struggle came they deserted their !
friends folded their arms, and saw them sacrificed j
before their eyes, when an outstretched arm would j
have rescued them. In the one case the question !
was a matter of limited importance, while in the j
other it may be a question of political existence.
The magnitude of the stake may lend interest to j
the game, but it increases to a fearful degree the re ,
spousihility of the players. Those who stand back i
now either in stolid indifference or active opposi- ]
tion, are trifling with ihe fate of the nation.

GEORGIA MEDICATED SOAP.
The Ernp,re State of the Smith still ahead in her
rjNIIIS article wis compare favora
!_ B. lily with any of like character
in the known world.
I find that by putting it in the form
of a Soap it gives it a decided advun ;||H!|i
tage over any Balm, Salve, Liniment. >*4»**L,
or Ointment that can be made for the cure of dis
eases herein enumerated ; it also prevents' its vir
tues from being impaired by age or climate, and
renders it very convenient for use.
Its action is prompt, and at the same time harm
less, as it contains no mercurial or other prepara
tion injurious to the patient. This article, there
fore, being highly medicated, will cure Ulcers,
Cuts, Flesh AVounds, Ring and Tetter Worm, Piles,
Erysipelas, Scald Head, Itch, Nettle Rash, Salt
Rheum, Chilblain, Prickly Heat, Scurvy, Sore
Eyes, Bone Felons, Old Sores, Sore Nipples, Ac.,
extract scurf and daudrulf front the head, thereby
preventing premature baldness. L is also one of
the best remedies for Burns or Scalds, and will
cure ilie Fistula and Scratches in horses; extract
tar, paint and grease from clothing, and is also a
superior dentrifice to the teeth. For shaving soap,
it forms a rich lather, softening the heard, and
curing such sores as may be on the face.
In the cure of all the enumerated diseases, and
particular old sores, this soap has proved a balm
indeed, by its wonderful healing powers.
I can procure certificates innumerable were it
necessary, but believing that a single cake is onlv
requisite to prove its efficacy as above stated, anil
wishing to avoid everything like hunibuggery, I
leave it to those who will give it a fair trial, no
doubting they will then declare this to be the««
plus ultra of the age in the healing art.
