John C. Breckinridge in response to his nomina
tion for the Viee Presidency.
BUFFALO, October 17, 1838.
Sir: Your communication or the 13th inst., as
chairman of the committee appointed by the "Anti
Slavery Society of the County of Erie," has just come
to hand. You solicit my answer to the following
interrogatories :
I. Do you believe that petitions to Congress on the
subji-ct of slavery and the slave trade ought to be
received, read, and respectfully considered by the
representatives of the people?
II. Are you opposed to the annexation of Texas to
this Union, under any circumstances, so long as slaves
an held therein?
III. Are you in favor of Congress ex- rcisins all
the constitutional powers it possesses to abolish the
internal slave trade between the States?
IV. Are you in favor of immediate legislation
for the abolition of slavery in the District of Columbia?
Answer. I am much engaged, and have no time 1c
erer into an argument or explain at length niv
reasons for my opinions. I shall, therefore, content
myself, for the present, by answering all your
interrogatories in the AFFIRMATIVE, and leave for
some future occasion a more extended discussion on
the subject. MILLARD FILLMORE.

ELECTORAL TICKETS
We are prepared to furnish any quantity of
ballots Democratic exclusively to our friends
iu the country at the low price of $4,50 per
thousand. This price barely covers the expense
of printing, and scarcely that. For lesser
quantities our charges are 50 cts. per hundred :

out for bogus
TIiosp Antlers.
A gentleman in our town, a few days ago,
dropped a note to a friend of his in Harnett, a
sterling democrat of the old school and an in
veterate Nimrod, informing him that the Buch
anan and Breckinridge Club intended having a
pole-raising shortly, and requesting him to send
down a pair of antlers for the occasion.
The old gentleman looked round upon his
numerous trophies of the chase, and, declaring
that he had none worthy ot the occasion,
shouldered his trusty rifle and went forth re
solved to sacrifice a noble buck to Buck and
Breck. Like the ram in the sacrifice of Abra
ham of old providence seemed to have sent
within reach of his unerring bullet a Tofulj
patriarch of the herd ; and soon "the branch
ing honors of his brow " were on their way !to
the Club. They now grace our press, and soon
will cap the lofty hickory which we'll raise right
soon to celebrate the cause. The buck weijrh
ed 180 pounds, and was killed by Daniel Love,
Esq., of Harnett.
Something Like. Ask a know-nothing-.or
an old lyin whig, synomymons terms however,
what are his principles; what the policy by
which his candidate, if elected, should govern
himself and he'll answer you Mr Fillmore is
platform enough for me.' We are reminded,
whenever we hear that declaration, of the fol
lowing anecdote :
"My lad," said a traveler to a little fellow,
whom he met, clothed iu pants aud small jacket,
but without a very necessary article of apparel,
"my lad, where is your shirt 1n "
"Mammy's washing it."
"Have you no other?" . - i
"No other I" exclaimed the urchin in sur
prise, "would you want a boy to have a thou
sand shirts ?"
" Mr Fillmore is my candidate' says the
old lyin whig.
"But what is your platform 1n asks tbe
Democrat. . : .r
" Platform? V exclaims the old lyin whig in
amazement " woold you want a nanto have
a thousand platforms ?"

An intelligent p-entleman writes ns from
Troy N. C., " The Know Nothings in this
section are striving very hard to get np an
excitement in favor of Fillmore : but it is no

will not vary materially from the Governor's."
We hope it will vary very materially in favor
of Buchanan. We think our friends can make
it, if tliej rill.
JBG?We received a short time since a copy of
an address, delivered on the 4th of July last, by
W. W. Holdeu. Esq., of Raleigh, and it affords
us pleasure to bear our mite of testimony to its
many merits of style, sentiment and spirit.
Unlike nine tenths of. the latter-day 4th of
July orations, it is neither a turgid, swelling
piece of bombast, a straining after effect, nor
a tame description of the events of the Revolu
tion but an eloquent, manly, spirit-stirring ad
dress, full of the fire of true patriotism, and
containing several passages of extraordinary
power and originality. Some sanctum visitor
has incontinently taken our copy of the address
away. Will our brother of the Standard send
us another?

We observe with much pleasure the affec

town cotemporaries to our worthy editorial
progenitor of the Carol inian, Air Yates, upon
his departure to take charge of the Western

the kindest amenities of editorial life are ex

consider the uniform kindness, consideration
and respect evinced by those journals for the
Carolinian under Mr Yates' control, we can but

with the " American " party, to state that they
cannot support Mr Fillmore in the coming con

party which can claim as little nationality as is
attached to the Know Nothing " Order." We
commend the course they have pursued, and
urge them not only to do their own duty at the
polls, but to exhort their friends aud ueighbors
to "go and do likewise." They are : Messrs

in good earnest. Our readers will see, by re
ference to another column, their proceedings in
Clinton on the 1 1th. Clubs ought to be formed
in every county, and every exertion made to
raise our majority from 12,000 to 20,000. It
can be done we hope it will be.
Organize clubs ; appoint your committees
and most especially let every Democrat con
stitute himself a committee on ballots to watch

x J6Sy There is a great deal of would-be very
sly humor indnlged in by some journalists we
wot of, respecting what they are pleased to term
"the chivalry" of S. Carolina : and occasional
ly we find them sneering at the courage of the
South Carolinians. Now did any of these very
spunky editors ever hear of the Hon Wm. S.
Ashe, morality, pillars of the church &c &c in
connection with a very courageous affair, some
years ago? eh!

Yes, while the Fillmore Club are firing thirty

of their party in Baltimore, the funeral bell is
tolling its solemn dirge, and the black draped
hearse is taking to his long home one of the
victims immolated upon the altar of Democracy
by know-nothing priest-craft. And while jubi

country "in honor of the event," the widow's

terrible records against your "Americanism," a
fearful reckoning against your know-nothtngism !

'Wie Ten Cent Calumny.
: At this late date, when this ridiculous charge
has become an old exploded roorback, do we
find it trumped up by the Argus, and several
columns devoted to a labored and tedious effort
to prove that a great and wise statesman is thtf
advocate of a policy whose execution would
degrade the laboring man to a position below
the level of the slave. We do not sit down to
a serious refutation of this despicable and un
founded charge. It is too contemptible to
merit an argument and it will doubtless be
sufficient for our readers to know that no jour
nal whose respectability is above par has stoop
ed to the paltry and pitiful business of revamp
ing that idle misrepresentation which, sixteen
years ago, Mr Buchanan himself exposed and
denounced.
We have, before ns, and we have carefully
perused it, Mr Buchanan's splendid speech up
on the Independent Treasury, from which t Ii is
perverted statement is wrested. We simply
wish to let Mr Buchanan speak for himself,
and we call the earnest attention of everyone
of our readers to his plain and convincing de
fence of himself from this calumny, which, so
far back as 1840, Senator Davis of Massachu
setts had fixed upon him. After re-stating
further his arguments, as presented in his ori
ginal speech of Jan. 22, Mr Buchanan said, iu
reference to the reduction of the wages of
laboriug men :
"I contended that it would not
greatly benefit, the laboring man,
injure, but
to prevent
ue vioieui ana ruinous
expansions and cou-
tractions to vvliieh our
currmu'v w:i iiwiih.nt
and by judicious bank reform, to place it 011
a settled basis. If this were done, what
would be the consequences? That, if the
laboriug man could not recei e as great a nomi
nal amount for his labor as he did 'in the days
of extravagant expansion,' which must always.

ucnuuiu ue niueiuiiiueu, aim iar more tnuu
indemnified, by the constant employment, the
regular wages, and the uniform and more
moderate prices of the necessaries and com
forts of life, which a more stable currency
would produce. Can this proposition be con
troverted? I think not. It is too plain for
. A f - 1 - w 1
argument. aiarK me, sir, 1 desire to produce j
tins nappy re.snii, not uy establishing a pure
metallic currency, but 'by reducing the amount
of your bank issues within reasonable and safe
your 'paper circulation.' The idea plainly
expressed is, that it is better, much better, for
the laboring man, as well as for. every other
class ot society, except the speculator, that the
business of the country should be placed upon
that fixed and permanent foundation, which
would be laid by establishing such a bank re
form as would render it certain that bank notes
should be always convertible into gold and
' ,
"And yet this plain and simple exposition of
my vie.'s has been seized imon bv those who
desire to maJce political capital out of their
perversion; and it has been represented far and
wide, that it was my desire to reduce wages
down to the prices received by the miserable
serfs and laborers of European despotisms. I
eltall most cheerfully leave the public to decide
between me and my traducers. The Senator
from Massachusetts, after having attributed to
me the intention of reducing the wages ot labor
- . . . j
to the hard-money standard, through the 1
agency of the Independent Treasury bill, has.1
added, as an appendix to his speech, a state
ment, made by the Senator from Maryland,
(Mr Merrick,) of the prices of labor in these
hard-money despotisms; and it is thus left to be
inferred that I am in favor of reducing the
honest and independent laborer of this glorious
and free country to the same degraded condi
tion. The Senator ought to know that there
is too much intelligence atuonir the laboring
classes in this highly favored laud to be led
astray by such representations."
Now is there a reading man, a man of the
commonest sort of common sense, who can
peruse the above and entertain for a moment
any other opinion than that this charge is a
base and reckless fabrication ? To what ex
tremities are our opponents forced when they
resort to such attacks upon Mr Buchanan 1
Why, sixteen years ago this same idle and
futile charge was urged against him by the
abolitionists and bank monopolists of the north;
and not only did he then nobly vindicate him
self from the aspersion, but declared that he
had "fixed upon John Davis the charge of
grossly misrepresenting his remarks, and there
it should stick like the poisoned shirt of Nessus."
Some time back we were referred by the
Argus to the Congressional Globe of a cotempo- -raneous
date with Mr Buchanan's speech, for
proofs of the ten cent charge.
Now, if our friend of the Argus will turn to
the Globe of March 3d 1840, he will find
Francis P. Blair, then editor ; himself vindi
cating Mr Buchanan from the charge. Par
parenthesis, Mr Blair is now opposed to him.
In connection with this subject, we will here
introduce an extract from the speech of the
Hon. C. J. Faulkner, of Ya., at the ratification
meeting held in Washington City, and then we
will leave the subject to that oblivion whence it
has been plucked by petty tricksters and little
demagogues :
"I see that some of our leading Democratic
jonrnaltsts are gravely occupied iu vindicating
Mr Buchanan from this "ten cent and low-wa-
ges" calumny. It is all waste time. The great
mass of the people understand that subject far
better than the Know-Nothing editors who
publish such stuff. I have not met with a la
boring man of ordinary intelligence in my dis
trict, who does not understand the origin of this

'riie Original "Sam"
. There have -been numberless conjectures ns
to the remote origin of the Know-Nothing
Order. Some have given Ned Bnntliue the
credit (?) of its paternity ; others have assign
ed it to the abolitionists and not a few have
supposed it be a shrewd stroke of policy on the
part of the Catholics, with Archibishop Hughes
at the bottom of the dodge, to get up an en
thusiasm in their favor.
We should'nt be at all surprised if the latter
were the case and, in support of our opinion,
we call the reader's attention to the following
little scrap of ecclesiastical history which per
haiS jiot many renders have recollected. In
looking over a work, compiled by the friends
of the great reformer, and entitled "Luther's
Table Talk," we find a condensed sketch of an
'Order" which existed in his day, between
which and -the latter-day " Order" there are
many striking points of resemblance. They
called themselves " Eralrcs Jgnvranliae" or
Biotheis of Ignorance, and whenever they were
questioned respecting their society, the invaria
ble answer was " nescio," 1 know not I We

When the " Order " first camo into notice, its
members wore emphatically Brothers of Igno

questioned respecting their society, "I know
nothing about it." ls'nt there a curious re

we have'nt time to dwell longer upon this sub-
ject. Two things, however, are certain. The
Know Nothings got their idea from the Ger
man Jesuits, and this same Know Nothing
party has done more to strengthen and build
up the Catholic Church in the United States
than any other scheme for that purpose could
possibly have accomplished.
Notice Your Ila i lots.
We give you warning in time there is a
villainously shrewd trick on hand, to cheat
Democrats out of their votes. The know noth
ings have commenced too early or rather they
did'nt get up quite soon enough in the morning,
to play that game successfully. Tickets are
being printed, we know not where, but we
shrewdly suspect in Raleigh, headed ' Demo
cratic Ticket" and containing the names of the
know-nothing electors upon them. They are
intended for use in the country, to deceive
and swindle the honest yeomanry, the unsus
picious farmer and the unwary voter. We have
seen some of them and again we urge you,
Democrats, to beware of the imposition. We
wonld especially direct the attention of the Demo,
cruts at the different country precincts iu this
and adjoining counties to this attempted fraud.
The Elections iu this 3Jon1h.
In Connecticut the Democrats have nobly
sustained the good old cause and we rejoice
to announce that the decided victory we have
achieved in that State is but the precursor of
the splendid triumph which will crown the hosts
of Democracy iu November next.
Delaware has done her duty too, and in the.
teeth of the fact that last year the Kuow-notlW
iug majority was over 1000 in that state, the
Democrats have scattered them like chaff to
the winds, and rolied up a majority "which is
but a murmur to the thunders which will "tell
of their coming" 011 that day whose work is to
decide the fate of thif republic.
Aud Florida, the land of the orange and
queenly magnolia, she too has triumphed in the
skirmish. She has driven in the outposts of the
enemy, and iu November the
Democratic flag
will wave in victory over the citadel.
Baltimore has rolled up a bloody majority
for the Know-Nothings. Death presided at
polls, and tears and heirt-Oakings, widows
aud orphans were the result of that day's con
test -Nioy the God of nations grant that no
Democratic triumph may ever bring iu its trait
such consequence.

The exercises of this popular aud excellent!
institution were resumed on Mouday last, under
scholastic auspices of the most encouraging
character. With an experienced and highly
accomplished board of instructors and every

Female Seminaries in the Southern country.
VV e pay no compliment of fulsome flattery when
we say that at the examination we last attended,
we saw more evidences of thorough intellectual
training and discipline, as well as accomplish
ment in the ornamental department, than we
have ever before met With in a similar institution.
We wish our High Sehoo! what it certainly
merits, an abundant patronage aud the attain
