were Dr. Georpe T. llnrvey. of Unclta ; Ed
ward Ilart ami James B. Smith, of Philadel
phia, and IV, B. Corson and Charles Hender
son, of Montgomery county. Having tnken
their position on tlio stand they politely invi
ted the reporters of tho public press to take
n seat on tho piriform, for tho purpose of
taking notes. The ladies, with their mar
shals, were drawn up in fiont of the judges,
for tho purpose of being introduced to them.
They were Miss Mary Ann Itoberts, of
lovlestown township Mrs. Phcbe Aaron,
of Xorristown j Miss Annie S. Jenkins, of
Montgomery countd s Mis Osman, of I.um
bertsville, N J., and Miss Howard and Miss
Senver, of Boston. Miss Snsan Ann Sexton
of Hopewell, N. J., was a competitor, but on
account of some misunderstanding about the
arrival of her saddle, she did not appear on
the track.
Miss Roberts was dressed with a black cap
and leather, green body and skirt, white
gloves, had a black whip with an ornamental
head, wore a gld breast pin, rode a largo bnv
horse and was a very pretty girl, and bore off
the tirst premium.
Mrs. Aaron wore a black cni. black bodv
dress and iskirts trimmed with velvet, carried
a silver mounted whip, had white gloves, wore
long Bowing curls and a wido linen collar,
and rode 1 Mile's "Lady En pie," and took tho
second premium and is n splendid rider.
Miss Jenkins w as dressed with a black vel
vet hat, laco collar, blaclt body nnd skirt,
white gloves aud carried a silver mounted
whip. Sho rode a sorrel nag, took tho third

horsemanship and modesty.
Mrs. Osmond wore a black cap and bluo
feather, black body and brown skirt flowing
curls, wide collar, white gloves, carried a sil
ver mounted riding whip, and rodo a beauti
ful iron gray horse. Her appearance on the
track excited admiration, as well as her excel
lent horsemanship.
Miss Howard wore a straw hat and black
feather, green dress and skirts, whito gloves,
carried a plaid whalebone whip with bu ivory
head, and rode a beautiful bay horse.
Mrs. Seaver was dressed with black velvet
hat and feather, wore a broad white collar,
black body and skirt, whito gloves phi id hair,
was of fuir complexion, carried a handsome
riding whip with a gold head, and rode a grey
horse, which fell tho first round, throwing her
come distance in tho air.
The contest was nn animated one, and fre
quently drew forth loud plaudits as they pas
sed along by tho thousands that lined the
track. Mrs. Aaron had the fastest horso on
the track, and Miss Koberts, the ono mn.it
difficult to manate ! Tho ladies were nil de
cidedly handsome, wcro neatly dressed, and
rode splendid horses.
On Friday evening, the thousands who had
been hero during the week, quietly returned
to their homes well pleased with what they
saw iu Poylestown.
Never before was so largo an assemblage
of persons assembled, without having some
fights. W o saw none and heard of none, on
ly three or four cases of iutemyiernnco occur
red to tho best of our knowledge, and two of
those were by persons not residents of our
countv. Bv the successful termination of
this magnificent enterprise, Mr. Beek, tho
proprietor, has won for himself the most un
fading laurels. Notwithstanding tho haste
with which it was cot up it passed off with
but little confusion, nnd the whole machinery
fit together and run with admirable accuracy
and graceful ease.
From the Albany Knickerbocker, of Thursday.
RECKLFftS RAILHOAD RACK-SMASH I T-
NAIIROW ESCAPE OF TUB PASSENGERS.
One of tho most inexcusablo acts of reck
lessness that we ever heard of, took place on
the Albany nnd Boston Railroad, on Tuesday
afternoon. As tho 4.30 train got within a
few miles of Chatham, a train on tho Hudson
and Berkshire Ituilroad was discovered going
towards Chatham also. A challenging signal
was immediately given from tho Albany en
giue tJ the Hudson to catch them if they
could. The train from Albany consisted of
engine, one or two baggage cars, and three
coaches' heavily loaded with passengers. The
one irom Hudson hail two co.iclies witli a
few passengers, consequently was light, and
gained upon tho ottier abont live seconds to
the mile. Both engines were "wido open,"
nnd doing their best. After running about
three miles side by side the Hudson and
.Berkshire track takes a curve round a rock
and a stream, and crosses the Western Hail
road track nearly at right angles the engi
neer of the Albany train calculated that the
Hudson train would lose three seconds in
going round the rock, while the engineer of
the Hudson imagined he could gain still
more, as his train was now nnder full head
way. Having gained fifteen seconds, and
got even with tho Albany train, the Hudson
engineer thought he could get over tho
crossing ahead. The calculations were very
close, aud would have done for horse-boat
captains, but was criminal in railroad engi
neers. Instead of gaining, tho Albany cu
giuo lost two seconds, and struck the 'other
train in tho centre of a passenger car, cutting
it in two, and carrying tho entire Albany
train through the car. As the Albany truck
struck the other, the engine was misplaced,
and struck tho sleepers instead of tho rails,
and just ufter passing through tho car, jump
cd around crosswiso of the track.conpiderably
wrecked. Had tho cngiuo of the Albany
traiu gained a few seconds instead of losing,
tbe Hudson train would have struck the
Albany cars in thu centre, and tho loss of
life and limb that would then have ensued,
can be easily imagined. The car from Hud
son had but threo passengers, who escaped
miraculously the conductor being tho only
ono hurt, and he not very seriously. Wheth
er the Western Ruilrond Company will re
ward the engineers for their close calcula
tions, or discharge them for their reckless
ness, we do not know. The matter is before
the Board of Director for investigation.

fSg"Our neighbors of the Gazette were
somewhat troubled that we had not yet raised
tho name of Arnold Plumer, the Democratic
candidato for Canal Commissioner. We
generally attend to theso things in due time,
without, however, consulting our neighbors or
coteinporaiies.
C3T Tho editor of the Gazette proposes to
give his paper for 13 cents during the cam
paign, cush in advance. We shall bo obliged
to offer ours for 12J cents, that the antidote
may follow the poison. Codfish democracy,
under tho influence of n September sun, may
grow putrescent, aud the exhalations urising
therefrom may require a corrective.
Ci"Wo End in the last Gazette a short
biographical sketch of the Standing Commit
tees' candidates. The editor eulogises tho
Member, Register A Recorder, and Treasu
rer, while he dismisses tho two Commissioners
aud Auditor with three paltry lines of general
commendation:. That, perhaps, may be owing
to the fact, that tho last three have nottukeu
the oath required by thu Inquisition.
s?3" The Gazette wants to know how many
deviioerats were sworn at the delegate election
in this place. Wo answer, nouo ! as the
true democrats refused to havo anything to
do with it. No ono anucared before thu In
quisilion, but the codfish democracy, and it
was no part of the duties or the Inquisitors
to put them to tho ruck. Will the Gazette
tell us why poor Michael was not allowed to
vote. Was ho an Irish Know Nothing? or
was it because ho was a fish uot of the right
stripe ?
THE MOUNT CARM El COMMITTEE.
Having mislaid our copy of the Gazette of
week beforo last, we did not observe, until
our paper had gouo to Press, that it con
tained some statements in regard to ourselves
In rcgurd to tho fact that a foreigner had
been appointed at Mt. Carmel, as a Judge of
the election, three days lefore ho was natu
ralized, wo shall convict tho Gazette and its
associates, from their own paper, and the
records of tho Court. Tho proceedings of
the committee published in tho flazette of
the llih of August, nys the committee met
at the Court House on the fith, nud anion"
other resolutions we find ono requiring the
vigilant committees to hold tbe election and
act us return Judges. After the last resolu
tion wo find tho following, vir. : '-In pursu
ance of tho foregoing resolution, the following
vigilant committees have been appointed."
Then follows the name of Fred'k Fuhrion
as ono or the committee for Mt. Curmel.
The records of tho conrt show, that on the
9th inst., three days after this appointment,
Frederick Fahiion was naturalized. We
havo only to add, that when men deny their
own published statements, they should not
complain if people placed no confidence in
their assertions. The article iu the German
paper was a mere translation from tha Eng
lish, and the error making it "three days
before" -was an error of tha translator. But
iu eiilu r case it was an outrage, and the
avidity with which tha Gaistt grasps this
little error, affords another illustration of the
old fi.e that "drownins men catch at
tta"j."
TUB DEFENCE OE TUB IfmHSITIOM.
Tholast Gazette reads a long-winded horn,
ily to its readers, nnder the head of the "The
Primary Election," the object of which is to
excuse the Standing Committeo, in their stu
pid blunders, by which they have, for this fttlj
at least, utterly destroyed tho organization of
the Democratic party in this county. The
organ of the codfish faction may whine, pre
varicate, nnd stultify itself as much as it
pleases, it cannot change or alter stubborn
facts. Tho result of their lato convention, as
they call it, at tho courthouse, was a most
miserable failure, as meagre in its numbers
and appearance, as it was dull and stupid in
its details. With tho exception of a few out
siders, the whole convention nnd its friends
could have been packed in a few large dry
goods boxes. No wonder that its authors,
aiders and abettors, deemed it necessary to
use a column of white wnsh in the Gazet e,
thickly laid on, to cover its glariug defects
and unrivalled absurdities. Wo say now that
all high minded, honorable and independent
democrats, shuuned nnd abstained from parti
cipating in this arrant political humbug, which
could not well have einenated from any other
source than that from whence it sprung. The
few respectable and influential persons who
participated in its proceedings, were evidently
ashamed of tho farce in which they acted a
reluctant part, perhaps under promises of
reward of office hereafter promises which
will just as readily be broken as made, if cir
cumstances Should require it. To such a
degrading condition has thu organization of
tho democracy of Northumberland county
been brought, by interlopers and venal office
seekers, whose antecedents have been any
thing but that which would give character
and standing- to tho parly, and who havo
usurped their places for the purpose of pros
tituting the party in order to accomplish their
own selfish designs. Tho lesson may prove a
salutary one, and wo will venturo to say a
similar transaction will never occur again in
this county. The dictators of tho Inquisi
tion have seen the hand writing on the wall,
and already begin to tremble and show signs
of repentance.
When democrats reflect who and what
kind of men used to be nt the head of the
democratic party they cannot help but feej
some degree or humiliation at the contrast.
How did this Taction net towards Jesse C.
llorton, tho democratic candidate for tho
Senate, last October. Mr. Horton was nom
inated fairly nnd without opposition. lie had
been with Major Dcwart a Buchanan man,
and his claims were fully equal, if not in many j
respects, superior to any the Major might
have on the party. How was ho served by
theso Popish guerillas ? Did not these treach
erous haters of the Know No'things, stab him
in tho dark nnd voto for tho Know Nothing
candidate Tor Senator? Were the Know
Nothings or any other body ever guilty of so
gross nn act of treachery? Not satisfied with
what they had done, in a moment of exulta
tion they boastingly publish their,treachery to
tho world, as follows :
From the Sunhury Gazitte of March ;", lS.r).r).
'How tho Cameron party supported our
present Senator wo will take" the result of the
election in this town as nn illustration. Mr.
Norton received 72 vote?. Where did he get
them? Certainly not from thewhigs, for they
voted for Mr. Taggart. Certainly not from
the nnti-Camerou democrats, for we all voted
for M r. Taggart. Where then did they come
from ? As it is not probable they fell from the
clouds, these 72 votes for Mr. Horton must
have been put into the ballot box by the
Cameron party."
Can any thing be moro conclusive to show
the bollowncss and iusincerity of this fac
tion. THE GAZETTE AMI THE AMERICANS.
In order to escape from the odium which
has followed tho ucls of the Inquisitors ihey
have deemed it advisable to commence a gue
rilla warfaro through their organ, the Gazette,
on ourselves by insinuations and charges that
they know to be untrue and without any foun
nation. In regard to tho publication of Gen.
Houston letter nnd the account of the I.ouis"
villo riots we do not object to any comments
that may be made, as wo are nt nil times rea
dy nnd able to defend our course, but the
editor of the Gazette had no light to btnto
that wo belonged to any secret society what
ever, because ho had no shadow of evidence,
but on the contrary he knew and had every
reason to believe, that the charge was untrue.
But in saying this we can tell the Gazette,
we would a thousand times rather be called
nn American, than a codfish deinoerut, floun
dering in a dirty little political pool, over
which Major Dewart assumes the office of
Supervisor in this county, and which he fre
quently orders to be stirred up by his foreman
of the Inquisition. In regard to the Louis
villo riots, we published tho statement that
was sustained by the affidavits of many of the
most respectable citizens of Louisville
There can be no question but the conduct of
the foreign population caused tho riots in that
city. But the Gazette nnd other papers of
the same kidney, tako especial pains to abuse
everything American. Every American is
denounced in these transactions, as a cut
throat and villain, and every foreigner as a
martyr and a patriot. And for what purpose
are they thus engaged in traducing their
country and conutrymen ? Is it not for the
purpose of getting the foreign vote, that they
and their compeers are engaged iu tho dirty
work of traduction and misrepresentation.
GLEANINGS FROM OC R NEIGHBORS.
Danvu.i.e. Tho conferees ot Montour and
Columbia counties have fixed upon John G.
Montgomery, Esq., for member of Assembly.
Mr. Montgomery took occasion to defino his
position iu a letter to tho conferees, accepting
tho nomination. Mr. Montgomery was not
obliged to swear in bad English that he was
an honest man, and what ho intended to do
forty yeurs hence. Although ho professed to
approve of the action of tho luquisition In
this county, ho evidently had no desire to be
put ou the rack, himself, as will appear by
the following concluding lines iu his letter;
. t,l1belTjuSt'?e.d i0 ".ayin& that shall 'go
into the Legislature, I may be there free and

The editor of the Gazette publishes what he
calls Know Nothing oaths. Wo find nothing
remarkable or wicked in thorn. Whether
they are correct or not, wo cannot say. He
may know, as he has boasted that himself and
all the codfish democrats iu this place, voted
for the first Know Nothing candidate that
ever ran for an office in this county. What
a beautiful commentary on consistency)
These fellows who voted against moro than
one half tho democratic ticket last fall, now
set themselves up as teachers to instruct bet

THE GRASSHOrrERS IN UTAH
In tho days of Pharaoh, tho Egyptian, a
league of locusts was looked tipon ut the grea
test of earthly calamities, nnd was employed
effectually by the Prophets to intimidate the
wicked oppressors of the Nile into permitting
the descendants of Abraham to depart in
pence. Since those days, tho devastations of
locusts have not been so numerous ! but if
we may credit the accounts which reach us
from tho Mormon Territory, the grasshoppers
are as terriblo in Utah as tho locusts were in
Egypt. At Great Salt Lake City, nt tho la
test dates, the grasshoppers "filled the sky
for threo miles deep, or as far ns they could
be seen without the aid of telescopes." Tho
saints have already planted three times, but
fresh arrivals of the ravenous insect contrive
to destroy the young crops as fast as they ap
pear. To aggravate the calamity, the drouth.
the crickets, and tho Indians destroy what
the grasshoppers leave ; and altogether the
followers of J oo Smith nnd Brigham Young
nd th most sadly afflicted mortals in thu
L nited States.
Were it not that Heaven were impartial in
dealing with men, and visits the just and un
just with equal bounty or disaster, we should
coiiFiner tlio alllietions ot tlio .Mormons ns a
providential visitation. Certainly they ore
no moro entitled to our sympathies now, than
they wero when tho outraged decency of the
Western people drove them from Nauvoo.
Tho grasshoppers might eat them up, and
very few tears would bo shed by tho Chris
tian world. It would bo n worse calamity
than these insects can inflict, to allow a State
filled with such moral leepers, to grow up in
Utah, witnout any attempt to extend over it
the Christian jurisdiction of the United States
Brigham Young now lords it thero as imper
atively ns if he was the Autocrat of Bussia.
He rules tho government of the United
States, nnd frightens nway tho Judges and
Governors sent to depose him : but he can
not rule the grasshoppers. The thousands
already settled nt tho Salt Lake, and the
thousands flocking there from this country
and Kurope, will find it hard to contend against
such an enemy, which multiplies faster" than
tho fabled dragon or even tho Egyptian lo
custs. They will probably bo compelled to
send across the desert for food, if tho irrass-
hoppers continue their devastations. Mean
time, we are all revolving the question
What shall be done with the Mormons? If
the grasshoppers do not drive them away
they may jvi cause us a good deal of trouble

The Danish Sorxn DfEs. The London
News speaking of tho Sound dues question
between the United States and Denmark,
states that a diplomatic note had been ad
dressed to the American government by the
Danish Minister of Foreign Affairs, remon
strating against tho course of our govern
ment in giving notice of its intention to ter
minate tho treaty of commerce nndamity now
existing between the United States and Don
ma:k, nud intimating that the manner iu
which the American govirnuant had pro-1
posed to abrogate ihis treaty might elHct
future negotiations, by giving rise to dilTinil
ties that could havo been avoided. The
National Intelligencer, in antwar to this,
says it learns from n reliable source that
there is not ono worp of truth in this state
ment. The English and French pupers treat
tins question us it a war was imminent be
tween the United States tjnd Denmark. In
this country there do not appear to bo any
sucu fears. Theso Sound dues aro tolls
claimed of ship-masters passing through El

claim them as necessary to pay the expense
of keeping up lights, landmarks, &e., along
the coast, though it gets, in common with
every other mercautilo country, the benefit
of thu lights and landmarks on the American
coast, and at tho expense of the United
States government. The levying of such
tolls by the Danish government is considered
a littlo better than the Algerino practice, in
former years, of making other nations trading
in the Mediterranean pay tribute to it, and
which the United States government broke
up so decidedly, declaring that it would pay
