Yesterday afternoon those eloquent Demoer Southern Aggression. Nothing has contributed so much to strengthen the hands of the Black dis-aniouists of the Garrison and Giddings school, as the charge now 80 assiduously made of the aggressive spirit of the South. A more base and dangerous falsehood has never been perpetrated in the annals of time. It has been the cause of all the ill feeling now engendered in the minds of the people of the two sections of the country, and its capacity for evil is commensurate with the value of the great Republic, whose power is now felt inevery corner of the Union, and which, preserved, is fruitful of blessing to us and our children. This charge has been grounded upon the disposition made of our territorial acquisitions, yet so far from sustaining the charge, the truth of history presents the South as always acting with an eye single to the harmony of the Union, and willing to sacrifice everything consistent with honor, to insure its preservation. Let the candid man of the North, who is independent enough to think for himself, and who has sufficient courage to resist the appeals which are made to his pr'de by designing demagogues, take up the map of this extended country, and with itshistory in his bande, examine this charge, and to his sense of truth and justice, rigid and inflexible, we slone appeal to undo . the damnable wrong, which bad or misguided men would induce him to commitin this hour . of danger, for hervafter it may not be in his power to correct the deed of mischief which must result from the triumph of sectionalism. Such a calamity we cannot for a moment anticipate, The noble northern Democracy are standing firm in their lines. Upon them will fall the bruut of the battle, and we look with confidence upon their ability to achieve immortal honor. by continued fidelity to the sacred . eyes } compact of the constitution. Before the of the whole people there are facts spread out . which they are called upon to see. These facts should be pondered well, for they will stimulate the pride of the South too, if it ever come to be the sett!ed purpose of the North to degrade her people to the condition ofa mere dependency upou the bounty of the stroager section. Men of the North, of generous and patriotic spirit, and of all sections entered the Union; the States co-equal in rights, the weak secure under the constitution against the powerful. Low bas the South conducted herself under it?) We leave it to facts to determine, Territorial acquisition, was compiled from the records by Hon. C.C, Clay of Alabama, and was receutly introduced into a speech of Hon. Horatio Seymour, made at Sringfield Mass, on the 4th of July: then north of Mason & Dixon’s line had 164,081 square miles. The states then south of that line had 647,292 square miles. “Pending the Revolution, the north-western territory excited, (as Mr. Madison expressed it,) “the lucrative desire’’ of the north-eastern people to a degree threatening the existence of the Confederacy. The territory belonged to Virginia, by repeated royal grants, as well as by couquest achieved at her sole expense and by her unaided arms, To satisfy those desires, quiet the contest and secure harmony and peace, she surrendered it to the confederacy, aud the ordinance of 787 devoted it to FreeSou. That surrender reduced southera territory nearly three-fold, Northern territory was thereby swelled to 425,761 square miles. The territory of Louisiana, next acquired, in which slavery was maintained by both French and Spanish laws and guaranteed in the treaty of acquisition was, by the Missouri restriction so divided that the north took (exclusive of Oregon) 659,138 cratic champions, Hons, J. C. McKibben, M. S;ssquare*miles, and the south retained 225,456 Latham and T. J. Henley were escorted into town by a cavalcade of horsemen numbering about one hundred. A number of carriages, and vehicles of every description were in the line. decorated with flags. A band of music in a four horse wagon sending forth patriotic strains, while the old cannon repeated its thunder tones along the hills. The whole city is ative with _ the democracy who have gathered in from the square niles, By that settlement the south surrendered of slaveholding territory to the uorth, about three-fourths aud retained about onefourth, But, including Oregoa as a part of the square miles, Thereby the south surrendered . more than four-lifths, aud retained but oue-fitth . of that territory. . “The acquisition of Oregon, (if not included . in the Louisiana purchase,) Florida and Texas, . . surronoding country, As we go to press an im‘mense concourse is assembled in front of the American Exchange where the meeting is to be held. A torch light procession is moving through the streets and the groatest euthusiasm prevails amongst the multitude who have gathered in. The procession is three quarters of a mile in lengbt, —— New Dave Srore.—-One of t! + most elegantly furnished stores that we have scen for many a day, has recently been fitted vp at No. 14 Commercial street, for a drug store, by Frank Thayer, late of San Francisco, By reference to his advertisement it will be seen that Mr. Thayer is in receipt of a large and weil selected stock of drugs and medicines, and being an experienced druggist, we trust he will receive that share of patronage which his efforts to please so justly merit. Kesr Dry.-—If you want an excellent article of rubber clothing for the approaching rainy season, call on Messrs, Block & Co. Corner of Pine and Commercial streets, Lanoaster’s Livery Srapie.— Our friend Lancaster, proprietor of the old Metropolis stables, has put up a splendid establishment on Main street, nearly opposite the old stand. A country friend who.came into town the other day on legal business, walked into at, mistaking it from its appearance for the new court house. Tuanks.—J. W. Sullivan, of the News Depot, San Francisco, will accept our thanks for a liberal eupply of papers, among which are the London Illustrated News, Be!!ou’s Pictorial, Cit zea, Irish News, &e. J. E. Hamlin, of Broad Street Book Store, has also placed us under obligations for late Atlantic aid California papers. Tur Corin t’axty at Wolsey’s Flat comes off to-morrow (Thursday) evening. Preparations for the event have been made on the most liberal scale, and we doubt not it will prove a handsome affair. A number of yen‘lemen from this place we learn are goin to ; light fantastic. going up to exercise the Five of the whig Uniied States Senators, now in Congrees, viz: Messrs, Benjamin of Louisiana, Jones of Tennessee, Geyer of Missouri, and Pratt and Pearce of Maryland, have already in the most public manner, avowed their intention to support the democratic presidential candidates, Messrs, Anderson, Caldwell and others will address the Democracy at Washington on Friday evening next, and at Omega on Saturday evening, resulted in a division, by which the north got . about 415,467 square miles, and the south re. tained about 271,268 square miles. By that arrangement the uorth obtained about turee-fifths of those territories. “The Mexican conquests, engrossed by the North, added to her limits about 401.838 square miles, The Sonth has grown from 647,402 to 882,245 square miles, having added but 285,047 square ellen to her area siuce 1783. La the same time, the North from 164,081 has grown to 1,903,204 squere miles; having added tn the . same time 1,738,128 square miles to her limits, . The South has increased less than fifty per cent, in territorial aree since the revolution, South commenced with four times the territory of the North; the North has now near two and a half times the territory of the South. The Federal Goverament never had one foot of territory east of the Rocky Mountains, that was free soil when acquired. Aud, indeed, I question whether she ever held any west of them that was free soil, The Northern States never ceded one foot of territory to the United States; wnd never yielded oae foot of territory, that was free soil when acquired, to the use of the . South, but have retained it all. “The South has ceded, of her own exclusive territory, 251,671 square miles, and has relin« quished of other slaveholding territory when acquired, belonging in common to all tie States 972,605 square miles, and of slavebolding and 1,738,123 square miles—au empire eleven fold greater than the entire area of the Northern States at the peace of '83, and more than double the entire domain of the States of the Coufederation,” The political power of the country has passed into the control of the Free States, and that power is increasing with startling rapidity — The preservation of the Union now depends upon the wisdom and patriotism of the North. To Corresponpents.—We have received from & yentleman living at Alpha, and also from another at Rough & Ready, long and able communications treating of the issues involved in the great national contest. Both are men of northern birth and education, and holding fast to the broad conservative spirit of the coustitution, they give the most conclusive reasons for the truth which isin them. It would give us more than pleasure to spread before the eyes of the public the greet and liberal sentiments which they avow were it possible for us to do so, but the great length of their articles and the crowded state of our columns renders it impossible, One of them writes, “If you do not publish, do not take the trouble to apologize.” A sensible admonition, and worthy of a true Democrat. Fine Compayy.—A meeting will be held at the Union Hotei this evening, at seven o'clock, to perfect arrangements for the organization of a fire company. All persons feeling an interest in the object of the meeting are inviied to attend. The following statistical iststory in regard . to fulfil the appointments partly on account of “At the conclusion of peace, 1783, the States .

He places the power to construct this vast work where it had already been placed, hy the present secretary of war, whose able reports to Congress have been made familiar to the American mind. By the side of the ambiguity of Mr. Fillmore in his recent letters, and the school boy diction of Mr. Fremont oa . sounds like the language of the true statesman. WHEATLAND, (near Lancaster, Pa.,) 17th September, 1856. Democratic State Central Committee of California: \ ; Sin—lI have received numerous communica. Railroad, As it would be impossible for me to . auswer them all, 1 deem it most proper and re. xpectful to address you a general answer in . your official capacity. In performing this duty lto the eitizens of California, I act in consistency with the self-imposed restriction ‘ coutained 1m my letter accepting the homination for the Presidency, not to auswer interroglatorics raising new and different issues from . those presented by the Cincinnati Convention; because that Convention has itself adopted a . I, then, . . resolution in favor of this great work, I, desire to state briefly, that, concurring with the construction of the Pacific Railroad; and, I derive the authority to do this from the coustitu. tional power “to declare war’ aud tlie constitutional duty “to repel invasions.’”’ In my judgej ment, Congress possesses thé same power to make appropriations for the construction of this fence, that they have to erect fortifications at the mouth of the harbor of San Francisco. Indeed, the necessity, with a view to repel foreign invasion from California, is as great in the one case as in the other, Neither will there be possible to conceive that any case, attended by such extraordinary and unpreeedented © rcumstances, can ever again occur in our history. Yours very respeetfally, JAMES BUCHANAN. We have been requested to say to our friends . at Woolsey’s and Moore's Flats that the demo. eratie candidates who had engagements to speak at their places on Tuesday evening were unable indisposition of one of the parties, and partly because they could not obtain horses on that day togo up. Everything in the shape of horse flesh having been engaged two or three days before, for the escort to the distinguished democratic speakers from below. Tur K. N, Meetina.—The great Know Nothing demonstration of the season, came off on \change. The speakers, Messrs, Woods and Peyton, were escorted into town by the Fillmoreites of the county, on horseback, and in carriages, headed by a band of music. In the evening, a processiou was formed, numbering one . up and down Broad street, and finally brought up at the corner of Main and Cayote streets, to listen to the great expounders of K. N. priuciples. The procession was a long one, which is accounted for, from the fact that they marched in single file, and kept ten feet apart. A large . crowd was attracted to the stand, but long be. fore Mr. Peyton was through speaking, the number was reduced to the original “one hun’ . dred and forty-one.’ . Disrricr Court,—This Court has been engag. during the past week in the trial of George . ed Lewis, indicted for the murder of George H. Jordon, and Samuel Hartgraves indicted for the murder of P. Ellison at San Juan. The case of . Lewis was given to the jury on Thursday eve. ning, who immediately returned a verdict of acsiderable dissatisfaction, in this place. Some of the most important witnesses were not examcase was not half prosecuted. Llartgraves was convicted of murder in the secoud degree. sentence was postponed for a week. The punishinent for this offence is imprisoument in the penitentiary for not less than ten years. Fata.

Nothing has contributed so much to strengthen the hands of the Black dis-aniouists of the Garrison and Giddings school, as the charge now 80 assiduously made of the aggressive spirit of the South. A more base and dangerous falsehood has never been perpetrated in the annals of time. It has been the cause of all the ill feeling now engendered in the minds of the people of the two sections of the country, and its capacity for evil is commensurate with the value of the great Republic, whose power is now felt inevery corner of the Union, and which, preserved, is fruitful of blessing to us and our children. This charge has been grounded upon the disposition made of our territorial acquisitions, yet so far from sustaining the charge, the truth of history presents the South as always acting with an eye single to the harmony of the Union, and willing to sacrifice everything consistent with honor, to insure its preservation. Let the candid man of the North, who is independent enough to think for himself, and who has sufficient courage to resist the appeals which are made to his pr'de by designing demagogues, take up the map of this extended country, and with itshistory in his bande, examine this charge, and to his sense of truth and justice, rigid and inflexible, we slone appeal to undo . the damnable wrong, which bad or misguided men would induce him to commitin this hour . of danger, for hervafter it may not be in his power to correct the deed of mischief which must result from the triumph of sectionalism. Such a calamity we cannot for a moment anticipate, The noble northern Democracy are standing firm in their lines. Upon them will fall the bruut of the battle, and we look with confidence upon their ability to achieve immortal honor. by continued fidelity to the sacred . eyes } compact of the constitution. Before the of the whole people there are facts spread out . which they are called upon to see. These facts should be pondered well, for they will stimulate the pride of the South too, if it ever come to be the sett!ed purpose of the North to degrade her people to the condition ofa mere dependency upou the bounty of the stroager section. Men of the North, of generous and patriotic spirit, and of all sections entered the Union; the States co-equal in rights, the weak secure under the constitution against the powerful. Low bas the South conducted herself under it?) We leave it to facts to determine, Territorial acquisition, was compiled from the records by Hon. C.C, Clay of Alabama, and was receutly introduced into a speech of Hon. Horatio Seymour, made at Sringfield Mass, on the 4th of July: then north of Mason & Dixon’s line had 164,081 square miles. The states then south of that line had 647,292 square miles. “Pending the Revolution, the north-western territory excited, (as Mr. Madison expressed it,) “the lucrative desire’’ of the north-eastern people to a degree threatening the existence of the Confederacy. The territory belonged to Virginia, by repeated royal grants, as well as by couquest achieved at her sole expense and by her unaided arms, To satisfy those desires, quiet the contest and secure harmony and peace, she surrendered it to the confederacy, aud the ordinance of 787 devoted it to FreeSou. That surrender reduced southera territory nearly three-fold, Northern territory was thereby swelled to 425,761 square miles. The territory of Louisiana, next acquired, in which slavery was maintained by both French and Spanish laws and guaranteed in the treaty of acquisition was, by the Missouri restriction so divided that the north took (exclusive of Oregon) 659,138 cratic champions, Hons, J. C. McKibben, M. S;ssquare*miles, and the south retained 225,456 Latham and T. J. Henley were escorted into town by a cavalcade of horsemen numbering about one hundred. A number of carriages, and vehicles of every description were in the line. decorated with flags. A band of music in a four horse wagon sending forth patriotic strains, while the old cannon repeated its thunder tones along the hills. The whole city is ative with _ the democracy who have gathered in from the square niles, By that settlement the south surrendered of slaveholding territory to the uorth, about three-fourths aud retained about onefourth, But, including Oregoa as a part of the square miles, Thereby the south surrendered . more than four-lifths, aud retained but oue-fitth . of that territory. . “The acquisition of Oregon, (if not included . in the Louisiana purchase,) Florida and Texas, . . surronoding country, As we go to press an im‘mense concourse is assembled in front of the American Exchange where the meeting is to be held. A torch light procession is moving through the streets and the groatest euthusiasm prevails amongst the multitude who have gathered in. The procession is three quarters of a mile in lengbt, —— New Dave Srore.—-One of t! + most elegantly furnished stores that we have scen for many a day, has recently been fitted vp at No. 14 Commercial street, for a drug store, by Frank Thayer, late of San Francisco, By reference to his advertisement it will be seen that Mr. Thayer is in receipt of a large and weil selected stock of drugs and medicines, and being an experienced druggist, we trust he will receive that share of patronage which his efforts to please so justly merit. Kesr Dry.-—If you want an excellent article of rubber clothing for the approaching rainy season, call on Messrs, Block & Co. Corner of Pine and Commercial streets, Lanoaster’s Livery Srapie.— Our friend Lancaster, proprietor of the old Metropolis stables, has put up a splendid establishment on Main street, nearly opposite the old stand. A country friend who.came into town the other day on legal business, walked into at, mistaking it from its appearance for the new court house. Tuanks.—J. W. Sullivan, of the News Depot, San Francisco, will accept our thanks for a liberal eupply of papers, among which are the London Illustrated News, Be!!ou’s Pictorial, Cit zea, Irish News, &e. J. E. Hamlin, of Broad Street Book Store, has also placed us under obligations for late Atlantic aid California papers. Tur Corin t’axty at Wolsey’s Flat comes off to-morrow (Thursday) evening. Preparations for the event have been made on the most liberal scale, and we doubt not it will prove a handsome affair. A number of yen‘lemen from this place we learn are goin to ; light fantastic. going up to exercise the Five of the whig Uniied States Senators, now in Congrees, viz: Messrs, Benjamin of Louisiana, Jones of Tennessee, Geyer of Missouri, and Pratt and Pearce of Maryland, have already in the most public manner, avowed their intention to support the democratic presidential candidates, Messrs, Anderson, Caldwell and others will address the Democracy at Washington on Friday evening next, and at Omega on Saturday evening, resulted in a division, by which the north got . about 415,467 square miles, and the south re. tained about 271,268 square miles. By that arrangement the uorth obtained about turee-fifths of those territories. “The Mexican conquests, engrossed by the North, added to her limits about 401.838 square miles, The Sonth has grown from 647,402 to 882,245 square miles, having added but 285,047 square ellen to her area siuce 1783. La the same time, the North from 164,081 has grown to 1,903,204 squere miles; having added tn the . same time 1,738,128 square miles to her limits, . The South has increased less than fifty per cent, in territorial aree since the revolution, South commenced with four times the territory of the North; the North has now near two and a half times the territory of the South. The Federal Goverament never had one foot of territory east of the Rocky Mountains, that was free soil when acquired. Aud, indeed, I question whether she ever held any west of them that was free soil, The Northern States never ceded one foot of territory to the United States; wnd never yielded oae foot of territory, that was free soil when acquired, to the use of the . South, but have retained it all. “The South has ceded, of her own exclusive territory, 251,671 square miles, and has relin« quished of other slaveholding territory when acquired, belonging in common to all tie States 972,605 square miles, and of slavebolding and 1,738,123 square miles—au empire eleven fold greater than the entire area of the Northern States at the peace of '83, and more than double the entire domain of the States of the Coufederation,” The political power of the country has passed into the control of the Free States, and that power is increasing with startling rapidity — The preservation of the Union now depends upon the wisdom and patriotism of the North. To Corresponpents.—We have received from & yentleman living at Alpha, and also from another at Rough & Ready, long and able communications treating of the issues involved in the great national contest. Both are men of northern birth and education, and holding fast to the broad conservative spirit of the coustitution, they give the most conclusive reasons for the truth which isin them. It would give us more than pleasure to spread before the eyes of the public the greet and liberal sentiments which they avow were it possible for us to do so, but the great length of their articles and the crowded state of our columns renders it impossible, One of them writes, “If you do not publish, do not take the trouble to apologize.” A sensible admonition, and worthy of a true Democrat. Fine Compayy.—A meeting will be held at the Union Hotei this evening, at seven o'clock, to perfect arrangements for the organization of a fire company. All persons feeling an interest in the object of the meeting are inviied to attend.

WHEATLAND, (near Lancaster, Pa.,) 17th September, 1856. Democratic State Central Committee of California: \ ; Sin—lI have received numerous communica. Railroad, As it would be impossible for me to . auswer them all, 1 deem it most proper and re. xpectful to address you a general answer in . your official capacity. In performing this duty lto the eitizens of California, I act in consistency with the self-imposed restriction ‘ coutained 1m my letter accepting the homination for the Presidency, not to auswer interroglatorics raising new and different issues from . those presented by the Cincinnati Convention; because that Convention has itself adopted a . I, then, . . resolution in favor of this great work, I, desire to state briefly, that, concurring with the construction of the Pacific Railroad; and, I derive the authority to do this from the coustitu. tional power “to declare war’ aud tlie constitutional duty “to repel invasions.’”’ In my judgej ment, Congress possesses thé same power to make appropriations for the construction of this fence, that they have to erect fortifications at the mouth of the harbor of San Francisco. Indeed, the necessity, with a view to repel foreign invasion from California, is as great in the one case as in the other, Neither will there be possible to conceive that any case, attended by such extraordinary and unpreeedented © rcumstances, can ever again occur in our history. Yours very respeetfally, JAMES BUCHANAN. We have been requested to say to our friends . at Woolsey’s and Moore's Flats that the demo. eratie candidates who had engagements to speak at their places on Tuesday evening were unable indisposition of one of the parties, and partly because they could not obtain horses on that day togo up. Everything in the shape of horse flesh having been engaged two or three days before, for the escort to the distinguished democratic speakers from below. Tur K. N, Meetina.—The great Know Nothing demonstration of the season, came off on \change. The speakers, Messrs, Woods and Peyton, were escorted into town by the Fillmoreites of the county, on horseback, and in carriages, headed by a band of music. In the evening, a processiou was formed, numbering one . up and down Broad street, and finally brought up at the corner of Main and Cayote streets, to listen to the great expounders of K. N. priuciples. The procession was a long one, which is accounted for, from the fact that they marched in single file, and kept ten feet apart. A large . crowd was attracted to the stand, but long be. fore Mr. Peyton was through speaking, the number was reduced to the original “one hun’ . dred and forty-one.’ . Disrricr Court,—This Court has been engag. during the past week in the trial of George . ed Lewis, indicted for the murder of George H. Jordon, and Samuel Hartgraves indicted for the murder of P. Ellison at San Juan. The case of . Lewis was given to the jury on Thursday eve. ning, who immediately returned a verdict of acsiderable dissatisfaction, in this place. Some of the most important witnesses were not examcase was not half prosecuted. Llartgraves was convicted of murder in the secoud degree. sentence was postponed for a week. The punishinent for this offence is imprisoument in the penitentiary for not less than ten years. Fata.
