BUCHANAN CLUES. We desire to call the attention of our democratic friends in the County to the propriety of organizing clubs similar to those which have been formed in Center and Ohio Townships, the proceedings of which were published in our last issue. If we desire at the next election to roll up a good, eld fashioned democratic ma jority, we must work, and organization is necessary to successful labor "The batile is not to ths strong alone, it is to vigilant, the active and brave. . These organizations are necessary, that the. members may compare notes, talk with and confer with each other on the means necessary for disseminating the true issues which arc before the. people in this cam paign, and sec that every man who is a vo- ler has an opportunity of examining for liimself the results which may reasonably be expected from the election of the dis union candidate for the Presidency. A little attention paid to these matters now by meeting together occasionally, and taking the proper measures to furnish the voters in the several Townships with doc uments containing the democratic princi ples, will insure a majority of 1500 for Buchanan, the Uuion and Democracy, Aflairs in California Law Order overrtiletl. and For somo weeks past there has ; been acts transpiring in California calculated to fill the breast of every lover of his country with sorrow and alarm. The ex edition of the laws in San Francisco county has been wrested from . the officers and usurped by a mob calling themselves a Vigilance Committee. - It appears that many . of the officers there were not legally ', elected--that false bottoms were, fixed in ballot boxes by which hundreds of tickets : were inserted unlawfully, and in some instance's the bal lot boxes and tally sheets were taken by ruffians, and the offices boldly offered a the door to the highest bidder. The offi ccrs were charged with complicity in these outrages, and in some instances, " it ap pears, not unjustly ; These," and other gross outrages had worked the people np to a high state of excitement when the murder of King, an editor of San Fran cisco, aroused open rebellion. The Vigi ancc Committee assumed the administra tion of the laws, and a number of men among them the murderer of King, were tung from the windows of . the committee1 rooms. In vain did the omcers collect armed forces; the forces of the Committee outnumbered them and ruled the county. The Government is now powerless, and the Committee meets no resistance. What ever may have been ; the cause of such a state of affairs its-, existence is to be de plored. ..There appears to be a division of sentiment as to whether tbe Committee was justifiable In wresting the Government from the hands of the officers or not . , In our opinion there is no justification unless it waso save themselves from ruin. iWe are compelled to omit particulars for want of room. : 1 '' " ;' ; "Whitfield and Reeder Ousted. v The Resolution of the Committee, on elections in the House of Representatives that John W.

" Messrs.; Brooks and Keit, L of South Carolina, who resigned their seats in the House of Representatives,-a few 'weeks ago, in- consequence of the action of the louse in the Sumner affair, have both been unanimously re-elected." For the "Spirit of Democracy." .... Tne Etlltwr or the Journal and the Fillmore Club. Mr. Editor: I am not in the habit of writing for the Press, but after read ing the "Rules and Regulations of the Fillmore Club of Monroe County," and the preface thereto, as published in the Journal of last week, I think some reply is demanded on the part of the members of the Club. - Before inserting the Resolutions, the ed itor labors to convince his readers that "Mr. Fillmore we regard as no true expo nent of the principles of Americanism. He has so far refused to endorse the doc trines for which the Amcricau party has been contending. He has never even ex pressed a sympathy for the great Aracri can movement. He has never publicly committed himself to American princi ples." In making these charges he ne glects or wilfully omits to inform his read ers that Fillmore, in his letter of accep tance of the nomination by the American Party, says: " - ' ; . "As the proceedings of the Convention have marked a new era in .the history of the coun try, by bringing a new political organization into the approaching Presidential canvass, 1 take the occasion to re-affirm my confidence in the patriotic purposes of that organization, which I regard as epringing: out of a public necessity, forced upon the country to a large extent by unfortunate sectional divisions and the dangerous tendency of those divisions to- wards disunion. - It alone, in my opinion, of all the political agencies now existing, is possessed of the power to silence this violent and disas trous agitation, and restore harmony by its own example of moderation and forbearance. It has a claim, therefore, in my judgment, upon every earnest friend of the integrity of the Union. So estimating this party, both jn its present position and future destiny, I freely ADOPT ITS GREAT LEADING PRISCIPLK3, as an. nouueed in the 'recent declaration of the Na tional Council in Philadelphia, a copy ef which you was so kind as to enclose me, hold ing them to.be just and . liberal to every true interest of the country, and wisely adap ted to the establishment and ' support of an enlightened, safe, and effective American policy, in full accord with the ideas and the hopes of the Fathers of the Republic;" When and where has John C. Fremont ever said as much to commit himself to' the principles of the American party? John C. Fremont, the candidate which the "German" editor of the Journal is en deavoring to convince the American partj of Monroe they should . support, as . the true exponent of their principles. As the editor of the Journal in hislast issne, is convinced that . he . has been "barking up the wrong tree," and,: conse quently, become suddenly re-converted to Americanism, I ask him to publish, side- by-side, both . Fillmore and .. Fremont's letters of acceptance, as candidates for the Presidency, and let his readers see which is the "true exponent of. the principles of Americanism." , ';.. v '. -h The editor, speaking -in reference to communications from : members ; of t the American party, claims that he has never refused "publishing commuuications from any of that party.'.' .' In answer to this, I refer the reader to the following para graph: - ,;: : . .. . "We are a German ourself and have nothing to do with Know NothinRism'-wour., 7uwll I can inform the editor of the Journal, that if the communications from the mem bers of the American party are to be pub- ished in the same bungling and tweorreef manner as the "Rules : and Regulations of the Fillmore Club of Monroe County were ' published, he need have no fears' of receiving communications from -that quarter. -: ' ! : A' Member of tub Fillmore Cltjb. - - r: : For the "Spirit." Mr. Editor: Through your columns I wish to set the American party right in Monroe county, -There are persons go ing around the county stating that John C' Fremont is. the American candidate It is with regret that ; I say it, but it is none the less true, that any one who rep resents Fremont as the candidate of the American party is guilty of wilful and de liberate misrepresentation; , aud should be regarded with suspicion and contempt by every true American. I am aware that there has been a strong effort on the part of some deserters, to sell out the Anieri can party in this . county and district io the Abolitionists, but it is no go.: In the American Convention, which met at Barnesville on the 31st ult., these men received a" severe but just rebuke Theywere told in., the - plainest - possible terms, that they "were deserters fromr and traitors to the-American cause, and had nb right to a seat iu that Convention They came up there pretending to repre sent the American partyof Monroe coun ty, and, if they had been permitted, would have cast the vote of that party in that Convention for anti-Fillmore.hien." - Now, I appeal to .the American . party of this coonty, " they ever authorized those men to represent, them in that Contention? Can you trust men, who, having deserted your party, thus turn round and deliber ately attempt to sell you out, without yonr knowledge or consent? v The American party in this county, and all over the district, is well satisfied with the nominations made at that Convention. Jno. M. Bushfield is, 'to some' extent, a stranger amongst jBS,:but he was-nominated by acclamation, ... - C. C. Carrol, who received the nomi nation for Judge of. the. Court of - Com mon Pleas in this District, is well known; and will receive the support of every real American in the District. There is no doubt 'about the -matter, -we can;- and r we will, elect onr, whole ticket, u- f. . On next Friday, August 8th, in the af ternoon, the Hon.. John Davenport, of Barnesville, who has - been r stumping the btate for Fillmore, will address the citi zens of. this county at Woodsfield. -to ; On the day following, Saturday Ang- gust 9th, he will speak in Clarington, at 1 o'clock, P.

Woodsfield, Ang. 4, 1856. ; U , . ... ,, '....,';'., .. For the "Spirit." POUTICS , A'D Til E PULPIT -Mr. Editor The. campaign for Presi dent has opened in earnest, aud is accom panied with some manifestations that are calculated to awaken serious alarms It appears that a portion of the Methodist Episcopal Church have joined with the Wesleyaus iu adulterating the pure fount of Religion with the turbid stream of Pol itios. The election of John C.Fremont to the Presidency seems to be aspiring with some success to rivalry with the cause of Religion, even on the Sabbath day and in the Pulpit , : When Ministers of the Gospel, on the Holy Sabbath, from the sacred desk, in stead wf exhorting their ."dyiug congre gations" to "love God and keep his com mandments," are engaged in exhorting them to be on hands at an Abolition meeting, to be held, perhaps, in the same church, I ask if a man may not well en tertain serious apprehensions, not for his country alone, but for the cause 'of Reli gion itself? which, although not a pro fessor, be may reverence and respect.; But, let me ask, how long will it be either reverenced or respected if it is used as a mere instrument to subserve the-interests oi some political faction or aspirant to office? . If Ministers are -called by the Almighty "to point sinners to the Lamb of God," and to save souls, are they com plying with that call in pointing out the road to some Abolition meeting, and sav ing the election of some favorite to office? The present is the first time any such manifestations have appeared in this part of the county.' Other campaigns have been conducted here, when party feeling ran higher than now other parties have been compelled to adopt desperate means to save them from defeat, but this is the first time that a party has laid hold of the Church to keep from sinking, and unless the Church shakes it off both will go down together. : . i OBSERVER. . . - Corrington , W.
