Ureal Democratic Meeting 400 Tresent.
Mn. EntroR : Having attended the Democrat
ic meeting, held on the evening of the 14th inst.,
at the Public House of Jonathan Pursel, on the
road leading from Northumberland to Danville,
I send you the following information, for the use
of your numerous reader. The audience, up
wards of 400 in number, was composed chiefly
of Farmers, Mechanics and Laboring men, from
Sunbury, Northumberland, Danville, and the ad
jacent country. About half past eight the meet
ing was organised on the green, in front of the
house, and the following gentlemen, vi. : A.
Jordan, C. W. Hegins, B. K. Rhonda and A. C.
Fisher, Esqrs., after repeated and enthusiastic
calls, successively appeared upon the stand and
addressed the numerous assembly.
As each speaker came upon the stand he was
greeted by 3 cheers from the audience, that man
ifested the most ardent zeal during the speaking,
which continued until near 12 o'clock. Fre
quent, long and loud cheers were given for Polk,
Dallas, Muhlkmikki:, Ti:xas and Okeiion.
Previous to adjournment, 3 whigs came for
ward and joined the Democratic Club, being
heartily sickof Clay and his gross immoralities.

Large Democratic Meeting at Ciiiilixqnaqne.
Mr. Ehitoh. : A special meeting of the Hicko
ry Club, of Chillisquaque, was held on Tuesday
evening the 18th inst., at the Public House of
Peter Hause. It is estimated that upwards of
200 freemen were present, who were addressed
by the following gentlemen, viz: Maj. W. L.
Dewart, A. C. Fisher, and W. J. Martin, Esqrs.,
of Sunbury, and M r. Brewer, of Milton. The
Democratic Band of Sunbury were in attend
ance. Since the formation of the Club, from 15
to 20 Whigs have renounced Clayism and enlist
ed in the cause of Democracy. The freemen of
Northumberland county arc sick of Clay, and
many Whigs have been persuaded to try that
sovereign remedy, of nil political ills, called the
EXTRACT of POLK. P.
FOR THE AM;IUC1!.
Mr. Emi-on: Myself and neighbors aie de
cidedly i'l favor of again nominating EDWARD
Y. BRIGHT, as (he Democratic candidate for the
Assembly. Mr. Bright mde a very good mem
ber he was active and industrious always at his
post, and did his duty faithfully. He was chair
niHn of a very important Committee, and one that
required a great deal of attention and labor. His
appointment to this station shows that ho had the
respect and confidence of his fellow members, and
they say that we never sent a more industrious
and attentive member.
Mr. Bright took an active and leading part in
retrenching the expenses of the Legislature, and in
introducing principles of economy into every
branch of (he Government. He was on the Com
mittee of Accounts, through whose exertions the
reform which distinguished the last legislature
was brought about. He went about saving the
people's money in earnest. A few days afier the
opening of the session, he offered the resolution
which became a law, giving the Public Printing
and Binding to the lowest bidder. This measure
alone will save about Ten Thousand Dollars
annually.
It was suspected that great frauds had been
committed by the punters under former laws. The
Committee on Accounts set about the investiga
tion of these accounts with a determination to
ferret out the frauds. Mr. Bright was one of the
most industrious and persevering members of that
Committee. The result was that overcharges of
the printers, to the amount of thirteen thousand
dollars, were discovered and suits directed to be
brought to recover that sum hack into the Treasury.
The contingent expenses of the last Legislature
were not one fifth of the expenses of the preceed
ing. Some $15 or f 20,000 were saved to the
Commonwealth in this matter alune, by the care
and economy of the Commitiee of Accounts.
Mr. Bright then has done his duly faithfully and
honestly. Ho has carried out the wishes of the
people, and ought to be re-elected unanimously.
Honor to whom honor is due. Let the faithful
public servant be rewarded, and the best interests
of the people will be fuithfully represented.

blearn horse than we remember to have met else
where before. This is his way of describing
him :
'I love to see one of these huge creatures,
with sinews of brass and muscles of iron, strut
forth from the smoky stable, and, saluting the
long train of car with a dozen sonorous puffs
from his iron nostrils, full gently back into har
ness. There he stands, champiug and foaming
upon the iron track, his great heart a furnace of
glowing coals ; his lymphatic blood is boiling in
his veins; the strength of a thousand horses is
nerving his sinews he pant to be gone. He
would 'snake' St. Teter'i across the desert of Sa
hara, if he could be fairly hitched to it, but there
is a little sober-eyed, tobacco chewing man in the
saddle, who hold him in with one finger, andean
take away hi breath in a moment, should he
grow restive and vicious. lam always deeply
interested in this man ; for begrimed as he may
be with coal diluted in ort and steam, I regard
him as the genius of the whole machinery, as the
physical mind of the huge ttcam hoibc."
Rolling Mill. We tiro pleased tonnnottneo
to our readers, that the Montour Iron Co. are
about erecting at this place, a new Rolling
Mill, which will be the largest and most exten
sive establishment of the kind in the U. Stated,
and which will probably cost $100,000. It is
to be located on the flat meadow ground in front
of Messrs. Haywood Snyder! foundery, at
the foot of Montour's Ridge, and it is calcula
ted will turn out annually about 10,000 tons of
manufactured Iron, a large portion of which is
to be Rail Road Iron. It will contain 22 pud
dling furnaces ; consume all the iron manufac
tured at the three furnaces of thn same compa
ny; give employment, directly and indirectly,
to about fiOO hands ; and is to go into operation
early next spring, so thot, ere another year rolls
around, we shall, in all likelihood, have the sa
tisfaction of practically showing the Hon. Mr.
Etn, that he wns mistaken when he doubted
the ability of our own manufacture! to furnish
as good and as cheap Rail Road Iron, as can be
procured in England. We shall give a more
detailed account of this mammoth establishment
at a future time. Danville Democrat.
The Resign at ion op Bishop Ondkroonk.
The Philadelphia Sun says, we, a few days since,
published a statement that the Right Rev. H. U.
Onderdonk tendered his resignation to the Stand
ingOommittee ofthe Episcopal Church in this
diocese. The fact was subsequently denied in a
New York paper the matter is now, however
put to rest by the publication of the resignation
over the Bishop's own proper signature. He re
signs on account of declining health. The Stand
ing Committee of tho Diocese hav called a Con
vention to meet at St. Andrews Church, in this
city, on the fith of September next, for the pur
pose of filling the vacancy.
Tick Presbyterian General Assembly and
the Marriage Ceremony. The report of the
committee which permits Licentiates to solem
nize the marriage ceremony, was taken up. and
alter undergoing some discussion by Dr. Plumer,
Mr. Hall, Mr. Ogdcn, Dr. Elliott, Dr. Potts, the
last named gentleman made a motion that in ef
fect went to dismiss the subject from the action
of the Assembly, by referring the party overturn
ing to the book for an answer.
Dr. riumer said, Mr. Moderator, let us look to
the law of the book. Marriage is not a sacra
mentit is a ceremony. Other people than
Christians marry. Sinners marry. Is there any
thing wrong in the eyes of Presbyterians, that
Quakers merely stand up in their Assemblies and
say, "I take thee," &c. ? The law pronounces
such a ceremony legal. He did hope that the re
solution authorizing licentiates to perform the
ceremony would be adopted. A motion to post
pone all the motions before it on the subject pre
vailed, in order to a substitute to the effect that
Licentiates be allowed to perform the marriage
ceremony in all States where the laws do not
forbid it. This resolution passed unanimously.

CiKortoB Washington, "the Farmer of
Mount Vernon." Washington was passionate
ly fond of agriculture. Its improvement was
ever with him an object of paramount regard.
Virginia can boast o( few sons to whom her ag
riculture has been more indebted ; few who have
assisted in promoting its interests to a greater
extent, or with the manifestation of a more ar
dent and patronizing zeal. The following ac
count of his fanning operations, will serve to ex
hibit the Father of his Country the man "first
in war, first in peace, and first in the hearts of
his countrymen" in his true light.
"The farm of Gen. Washington, at Mount
Vernon, contained 10,000 acres of land in one
body, rqiial to about 15 square miles. It was
divided into farms of convenient size, at the dis
tance of two, three, four and live miles from the
mansion house. These farms he visited every
day in pleasant weather, and was constantly en
gaged in making experiments for the improve
ment of agriculture. Some idea ofthe extent
of his farming operations maybe formed from
the following facta : In 1?S7 lie hud 500 acres
in grass, sowed 000 bushels of oats, 700 acres
with wheat, and prepared as much more for
corn, barley, potatoes, beans, peas, &c and 150
with turnips. His stock consisted of 110 horses,
112 cows, 215 w orking oxen, heifers and steers,
and r00 sheep. He constantly employed 250
hands, and kept 24 ploughs going during the
whole year, when the earth and the state of the
weather would permit. In IT"?.") he slaughter
ed 150 hogs, weighing 18,5(K) lbe., for the use
of his family, besides provisions for his negroes."

Mr. Editor : It being in accordance with tho
usages ofthe Democratic party, for the people,
previous to tho formation of tho County Ticket,
to bring before the public the names of such in
dividuals as they may deem most worthy to dis
charge the duties belonging to tho offices within
their gift, wo would recommend to the consider
ation ofthe Democratic F.lectors of Northumber
land county, Maj. WILLIAM L. DEWART
as a candidate for the Legislature. Should the
people sec proper to elect Maj. Dewart as their
Representative, we feel confident that thpy will
find in him a public servant of distinguished a
bilities, an intelligent, firm, and unwavering De
mocrat of the Jefferson ian school, and, conse
seqnently, the laboring man's friend.

PcnoATiox t'. Bloodlettino. All parts of
the blood are not with equal ease supplied, nor with
equal ease discharged from tho system. The for
mer of these position is well illustrated by compi
ling the effects of bloodletting with those of pur
gatives. We recover from tho effects of many
times the quantity discharged by the latter means,
in half tho lime required in tho esse of bloodletting ;
because by the one it is chiefly the watery part of
the blood which is drained off; by the other, along
with this, tho more essential parts also. While
purgation lessens the quantity of blood, il leaves
what remains richer. Thus the crasamenlum oxy
gen is left, which is indeed the life of the blood,
the watery part of (he blood being only thai which
is discharged by purgatives. Think of this, you
whose constitutions are inclined to plethora, and in
time purge with that most innocent of all purga
tives, the far famed Brandreths Universal Pills.
They are known to act on every part of the body ;
being taken up by chyle they pass into Ihe blood
which they purify ; and it should 1 remembered
that they remove only those watery parts from the
blood which were the cause of inflammation. No
thing is equal to ridding the vitiated humors with
a vegetable medicine of this kind, which eighty
four years have proved never to do injury, but al
ways good.

'PHIS WASHING MACHINE, pliin and aim---
pie in its coti-trurtinn, eannot fail to find its
way into every fami'y when its real value becomes
known. The price (six dollars) is fixed at the
lowest rate, in orde to enable every family to obtain
one. The inventor guarantees that it will not re
quire more then one fourth the usual quantity of
soap That it will wash in one-third the usual
time, and what is a matter nfgrest importance, the
wear and tear is rothinu, or at least so little, that
it is not perceptible, so that finest black worsted and
woollen can lie washed, if necessary, in the same
suds with linen and cotton. This may seem strange
to thosn who do not know the principle upon
which it works. It is tho on'y machine ever in
vented that washes upon the principle of the fiic
lion of waltr alone. All others wash upon the
principle of friction or rubbing, by bringing the
clothes in contact with some p:irt of the machine.
Independent of Ihe gieat saving of labor, economy
should brinn it into general use. The pnr man
cannot afford to do wiihout it, while the rich man
will use it foi convenience, if nothing el.e. Large

T II 12 LIVIIYCr AE,
PUBLISHED EVERY SATURDAY,
AT 12 CUNT A NUMKF.R.
"N the 11th of May, 1844, we propose to issue
tho first number of work to be composed
chiefly of choice articles from tho Periodical Liter
alure of Europe.
Boston having Income the point of communica
tion with the Old World, ami the intercourse being
now so frequent, we think it the best location for
our office, and believe that such a compilation may
be issued once a week, from this city, as will be
rend witji pleasure and profit in all parts of the
United States.
The Livinn Aoe will be conducted in the spirit
of Litlels Museum of Foreign Literature, (wbieh
wns favorably received by the public, for the past 20
years,) but as it will be twice as large, and will ap
pear so often, we shall not only give spirit and
freshness to it by miny things which wore exclu
ded by a month's delay, hut shall also, while thus
extending our scope and gathering a greater and
more attractive variety, to able so to increase the
solid and substantial part of our literary, historical
and polit-cal harvest, as fully to satisfy the wants
ofthe American reader.
The elaborate and stitely Essays of the Edin
burgh, Quarterly, and other Reviews; and Black
wmxl's noble criticisms on Poetry, his keen politi
cal Commentaries, highly wrought Tales, and vivid
descriptions of rural and mountain Scenery ; and
the contributions to Literatute, History and com
nion life, by the sagacious Spectator, the sparkling
Examiner, ihe judicious Alhemeum, the busy and
industrious Literary Gazette, the sensible and com
prehensive Brittannia, the Sober and respectable
Chrisiimi Observer; these shall be intermixed with
the Military and Naval reminiscences of Ihe Uni
ted Service, and with the best articles of the Dub
lin University, New Monthly, Fraser's, Tsit's
Ainsworlh's, Hood's, and Sporting Magazines, and
of Chambers' admirable Journal. We shall not
consider it benevh our dignity to borrow wit and
wisdom from Punch ; and, when wo think it good
enough, shall use Ihe thunder of The Times. We
shall increase our vaiiety by importations from the
continent of Europe, and from the new growth of
the British Colonies.
Geographical discoveries, the progress ef Colo
nizalicn, (which is rxtending over the whole world.)
and Voyages and Travels, will be favorite matter
for our selections ; and in general, we shall syste
matically and very fully aequiint our readers with
the great department of Foreign stTairs,
While we aspire to make the Livisn Ao de
sirable to all who widh to keep themselves inhum
ed of tho rapid progress of the movement to
Statesmen, Divines, Lawyers and Physicians to
men of business, and to men of leisure il is a still
stronger object of our ambition to make it attrac
liveTjinl uelul to their Wives and Children. We
believe that we can thus do some good in our day
and generation : and hope to make the work indis
pensable in every well-informed family. We say
indispensable, because in this diy of cheap litera
ture it is not possible to guard against the influx of
what ia bail in Lst3 arid vicious in morals, in any
other way than by furnishing a sufficient supply of
a healthy character. The mental and moral appe
tite must be gratified.
We hope, that, by "winnowing tho wheat from
the cbulY," by providing abundantly for the imain
alion, and by a large collection of Biography, Voy
ages and Traiels, History, and more solid matter,
we may produce a work which shall be popular,
whilo at lha same time it will aspire to raise the
standard of public tate.
The Living Age will be a largo pamphlet, hand
somely printed, and stitched in a cover, containing
as much matter as an ordinary duodecimo volume,
and upon good type and paper.
Each iiumler sold separately, and with the usual
discount to wholesale dealers. Persons at a dis
tance will be supplied by mail, on their remitting lo
us any sum of money lhat may he convenient.
There will be thir V six numbers, making threo
lirg.i volumes, in the remiining part ot 1844.
Price f each volume ol twelve numbers will be
$1 50. Postman rs, or other persons who may
lend us their aid in getting up a subscription list,
will be entitled lo four copies of any volume, on
remitting lo us five dollars. The copies lo be ad
