The last number of the fIERALD com
pleted the twelth year of our connexion
with as Editor. We enter Upon a new
volume this week and have taken ,the cc-
casion as a fit, one to present our paper to
- •
t'ie public in a new and _.improved
In doing so we-liave incurred a very
iarge. expenditure, by which our. readers
will, be laigely the gainers in the iticreas
el amount of reading matter furnished to .
them., In return for this may we not ask
'from our good patrons..thuir aid and ussis
lance in extending our subscription ?
For the many marks of friendship - 040m
steady . patronage extended to us in our
residence in 'this county, our heart: 4417 n
thanks are sincerely tendered. It wiltbe
our continued aim to Merit, as ct is , ephall
need, an increased degree of their friend
ship and patronage. In this we trust not,

each of, our present patrons endeavonito
send us an additional name for our list.'"r'
TRIO QUARTO FORM.
Our readers will probably at first sight
be struck with the diminutive appearance
of the Herald in its new form. But be - -
fore casting it aside as insignificant let
them open - it out in full and they will
find that' instead of its being smaller it is
in every way considerably larger than it
was. Before it had but tweitty-eight col
umds-'—now it has forty and 'these very
little ShOrter than the former length.--
We 14.0. enlarged it to the entire .capaci
tiof our.power press. .The quarto form
has been:.,adopted because in the nivel'
of newspaper imprOvetnent that . form
seems to have become a favorite. The
quarto form h_ number of advantages.
It brings - the sheet into a convenient size
for reading and is better fitted for bind
ing purposes. We have, adopted it a's
an experiment and if it does not prove
satisfactory 'tO our readers and - ourself,
the old for& can be resumed. 'Meantime
let it ha.v_e_n.lait irk&
Stir Our paper is" behind , time consid

YORK COUNTY.—Thn Wl4 COnVen
,,tion mot on the 29th ult., and adjourned
withoUt putting any ticket in nomination.
The,C6urse of the Convention is severely
) denounced by the Whig papers, the Re-
J publican. and Advocate
of Northuinberlaud
of Mon tgonlcry
Mott, the locofoco condidate for Canal
Commissioner, in a letter in reply to one
from Mr.Bonintm, ehairdian of the dem=
(Trade State Committee, says :—" /am
not connected with a secret association or
ganized for pOlitical petiln)Ses, contnandy,
'called Kno-.Arothing.s." This is 'deemed
satisfactory to the leaders of that party,
.who denounce the Know Nothings, but
elect its members to office!
I.CIAOLNARY OR EXACIGERATFD 01. F
r Volunteer has a piece of
news, which it tells with most righteous
indignation and wrath, concerning an
outrage, committed by Carlisle Know
Nothings on a German whom they found
lurking - Aoict,,,their place of meeting and
whom they did, not let off without some
cuffing and rough usage, by way of admo
nitiOn, we suppose, not to attempt being
so much of a know something again. The
whole story, as Lid in the Volunteer, is
news to us, and 'intast be very much ex
aggerated if not entirely imaginary.' If
true, it is a reversal of the usual practice
—such outrages being more ehaiacteris
tie of the course of adopted citizens .(es
pecially Irish) towards Ameileans. But
we hope it is not true, as violence of this
,chariwter can meet no sanction from the,
public. ChUrch burning—individual per
secution. and the like which we have
heard. of lately in other places, can only
be regarded with regret and abhorrence
by eyery [poi
JUDGE POLLOCK ON THE STUMP.
We are glad to learn that Judge Por,
Y.-Imi, the Whig candidate for Governor,
has recovered from his recent severe ill
neSs, and that he will take the stump in
a very short time, commencing in the
western portion of the State. He intends
to devote his whole energies to the can
vass and will speak in a majority oOlie
counties et . the State if his health will
allow of it.,
This is right and'ehecring to his friends.
While the Judge has been lying ill, the
locofoco press over the State has been
lamdooning him for not accepting what
they call" Bigler's Challenge !"--no such
challenge however having been given.
Fortunately he has now so far recovered
as, to be able to take the stump, to the
terror of his enemies. Judge Pollock can
take the plume from any man in the State
as a " stump speaker," . and will make
friends of opponents wherever he goes.
We shall hear, no more crowing from the
lolofoco presses when he , gbts before the
people. •
EASILY SATISFIED.
The Volunteer says it is satisfied with
Henry S. ,Mott's letter denying that he is
a Know Nothing. So also we suppose
the' Volunteer is satisfied with the letters
of Moser, Chestnut, Graham and Noell,
which it paraded so prominently before
is readers last week, denying their mem:
bership in what it styles that "infamous"
order. The ViAotteer is probably aiso,
satisfied with Messrs. Gregg, Lytle and
other candidates on the ticket who don't
answer at all I
. Now there is a trick in this business
which the Whigs owe-it to themselves to
briag to liffit. Our opponents while abu
sing Know. NOthingisln so lustily are
yet supporting as Candidates men, who if
every report does not belie them, are in
full and high membership .in this myste
rious order against which the Volunteer
rants and raves so desperately every weak.
The Vaunt:Tr makes war to the knife a
gainst Know Nothingism, and yet is sat
isfled with such flimsy letters as that writ
ten by Noel', andis equally satisfied with
Gregg and Lytle who don't answer at
all!•
SMOKED OUT.
WHAT'S 1311,EIVING I
• We see by the last Volunteer that the
D3MOC: atic County Committee is salmi=
mimed to a speCi . al meeting on Satur'day
the 16th. Suimises are busy as to the
object ofthis special conclave. 'What's
broke loose, or whether . some Mere effec
tive measures aro to be taketti- respecting
Vie -Know Nothing noininees on the . coun

PERRY ON .""MERE FORMALITY.""
We publishei al'article laFt . w . cerefrom
the Bloon.fild Advocate, in which it was
pretty clearly intimated that little. Perry's
spunk was roused and that knowing her
rights she intended this fall to make an
emphatic demonstration' of her inten
tion to maintain them. An arrogant
democragc paper of York having ,/ inso
lontly Tetnarkotl- that the mooting-of Con
ferees to nominate Bonham was a "mere
formality" in which it was a matter of en
tire indifference whether Perry was rep
resented or not, the Advocate shoWs its
opinion of the "formality" in the follow
ing article :
TILE "FORMALITY."
The proceedings of the Convention indicate
that everything passed oft' in the most harmo
nititts style. 'lt is published that Mr Bonham
received the unanimous support of the Con;
vention, but a delegate informs us that ho did
dis-ient, and it is proper that he should bo
pieced right•upon the record. _Messrs Jesse
Bettye and . Wm. Louther were both suggested
as Conferees, and they declined the honor (if it
is worthy of the name,) of going through the
mere "formality" of placing Mr. Bonham be
fore the people We shduld like to see seine
recital of his claims to the nomination, and
why it was that some voice was not, raised for
poor Petry.caanty in the Convention. She is
doomed to 'dangle as the tail of Cumberland
and York, and whatever they agree to she,
must carry out.
A few years agoldr. Bonham emigrated from
Now Jersey to Carlisle as a law student. Ile
located in Cirlislo, and his first • political es•
ploit was the organization of an anti-tax party
in opposition• to the democratic patty._. The
object of this new-tangled scheme was to re
pudiato the State debt and dishonor Pennsyl
vania. What didAtr. Bonham care for the
honor of Pennsylitinia? . Ile was just fresh
from New:Jersey, where he Rasa loud mouthed
whig, ns one of his intimate associartes pro
claimed at the Warm Springs last summer.
1019 knew Mr. Bonham and his political prin
ciples in that State. Ile has become a won
derful democrat, and that State debt, against
the payment of w high he was willing to plead
the statute of limitations, has been. increased
by his efforts • in and out of the Legislature,
by refusingfirmanntion any plan for its sreedy
reduction and payment.
We call upon Mr. - Bonham to make his
record clean, and show us that he hai repented
before he asks our suffrages, or he can't receive
them.
Will `he be kind enough to inform the peo•
pie of the district what services ho rendered
for the $5OO, which he drew from the State
Treasury for
. revising the tax laws, and at
tempting. to fore° on the' people a system for
the collection of taxes — that was more, oppres
sive than the decrees of the Czar?
We take no linan.on probation. We want n
democrat in whom there is •no guile, and Who
knows and cares for the interests and honor of
Pennsvivania. We shall refer to fi3ie subject
again, and more.fully.

• Gov. BIGLER IN WILMOVEI.bISTRICT.
—The Susquehanna Register gives a full'
account of Gov. Bigler's speech, at Mon
trose, on Tuesday last. It says :—"Wre
believe that if his election depended on
the vote of those' present, he would be
defeated by alit+ majority. There was
nothing like 'enthusiasm pervading the
mass of his 4 11earers, and the occasional
hand-clappi, gt,3 were chiefly performed by
such out
. and out Nebraska men as, accor=
ding to the editor of the Montour Demo
crat, disagree with the . Governor in opin
loft._ _ So_for_fis_. _Safi sfying __the_ a n6_ Ne.-._
braska men was , cenceAned, the speech'
was a' decided failure." - '"\.''
The Reg4ter states further, that when
the Governor had concluded, there were
cal].' for Wilmot and Grow, whereupon
the Governor suggested - to the President
an adjournment of the meeting, and that
in obedience to that request the Presi
dent adjourned the mecting, , ,although a
majority voted in the negative.

OUTRAGEOUS SUGGESTION:
The Volunteer's ravings against the
Know Nothings increcsci i fury and in
tensity every week. eAn. article in this
week's -paper headed ",An outrage by
Carlisle Know• Nothings," is concluded
with the following extraordina:ry para
graph : ,
"While on this subject, we would just in
quire by what authority our School Directors
of Carlisle grant .he use of Education Hall
t) these Know-Nothings ? This building be- -
longs to the people of Carlisle, and we, as a
tax-payer, protest against its use for any such
unholy and villainous 1 imposes ?, Are our
Directors all Know-Nothings, that they grant
the use (free of charge, it is said,) of- Educa)
Lion Hall to a set of men who skulk through
alleys /Over fences, rind through stables to at
tend
alleys,/Over
Tuesday, night meetings? No man
who is not of the order, is safe to pass that
Hall on a Tuesday night, for he is almost
sure to be insulted or stoned. We therefore
ask our School Directors to abate this nuis
ance and if they fail to do it the tax-payers
of the town, who own the, property, will abate
it themselves. They have no notion that a
set of men, some of them strolling strangers
and gamblers, and but few of them tax pay
ers, shall take possession of one of the pub
lic buildings; to hold their traitorous meet
ings. Let the Know-Nothings meet in Dick
inson College, or any other- place, but let not
old Education Hall be . longer polluted by
their meetings."
It is not our province to speak in de
fence of the Order of Know Nothings
or of the Board of School Directors who
are thus vindictively assailed. The Vol
unteer's fling at the Board, whether it
was actuated by' general malevolehce or
privatetnirnosity, will probably be met
by our neighbor Cornman, of the Demo
crat,' who is a School Director, and who
is capable of defending his worthy asso-,
eiates.. We do, however, intend to repro
bate this aqempt on the - Pare of the - Thl
macer to incite to mob violence. It is
the first time in the history of our town
that men in the peaceful .and quiet pur
suit of their own opinions have • been de
nounced as worthy subjects of mob vio

disgrace our community and endanger the
lives"and, property of our citizens by in
flammatory appeals to the worst pat34ions
of men. All - this — intemperate oudtreak
of bitter animosity and bigoted intolerance
is evoked because certain of our citizens
entertain opinions different from those of

On Thursday a man named James Bishop
defrauded the Chemical Bank of, New York
out of $9,000. A .few days before he opened
a small account with the * Bank, and on Wed
nesday deposited a cheek for $16,000, pur
porting to be drawn by James Thompson on
the American Exchange Bank. The follow

of rain and hail passed over the greater pail

Grass was scarce, owing to the large amount
of 'cattle driven to California. It was esti

A despatch from .Cincinnati says that the
steamer Timour, No. 2, while viooding en the
Missouri river, three miles from Jetreraou
city, on Saturday week, exploded her three
boilers at once, twenty persons being killed;
besides several treaded • and otherwise injur- -
ed. The 'boat was a complete wreck, and
soon sunk. There were bOt five or' six cabin
passengers, till of whom escaped except one, -
a Mr. White, who was badly scalded. An
insufficiency of water in the boilers caused
.the explosion. The Yellow Fever has as
sumed ph epidemic form in Galveston, and
and is also increasing at New Orleans. At
Savannah, on Wednesday, thirteen deaths
from fever were reported, and at Charleston,
on Thursdnyoix. Deaths in New York lust
week 814, of which 116 were from Cholera.
Deaths in Boston 107, of which 12 were from
cholera. Deaths in Philadelphia 302. A
despatch from Chicago, dated the Ist, says
there is great excitement there in consequence
of a meeting being called_ to hear senator
Douglass that evening. The indignation of
the community is roused against him in con
sequence of his opposition to the River and
Harbor bill, and his course.oa the Nebraska
question. '

; the meeting called in'Chicago on Saturday.
The'meeting was largely, attended, and was
held in the open air. As soon as Mr. Hong

was made, which entirely drowned his voice.
His friends made earnest efforts to restore
quiet, bid in vain i and after several ineffec
tual attempts to obtain a hearing, at about
half past 10 o'clock Mr. Douglass was com
pelled to'ieave the stand. There was much
excitement, but no other disturbance. A
large majority of those present were cppOsed
to, his speaking. He was followed to the ho
