That the frwi will b- a high-toned and dignified organ of the Democracy riot only of Penn sylvania, but of the Union, entitled to the confidence and respect of the entire party, admits of no doubt, and we commend it to the patronage of all who d. - sire to have a FIRST CLASS paper in the.i families, no matter to what patty th-v belong. We have known Forney intimately lor a great many years, ai d never knew* him to swerve in bis devotion to ihe great principles which have made us the gnat people we are. In the taithtu! discharge oi bis duties as a lead ing po.ilician he necessarily incurred the bitter hos tility of that c!as of unfaithful men who are parsi zaus m proportion to their interest, but honest Dem ocrats have always looked upon him as a man of un spotted integrity, embodying ail the principles of a Statesman and gentleman.

Mr. Smith could not have re ceived the vote of a single Democrat lor re-noinina tion, in either Bedford or Fulton Counties, had the District remained as it was. Upon the piincipics of parly oiganizaiion he has r i right io claim the vote of any Democrat, ai d his election by the paity wot io be an endorsement of his outrageous conduct. The tact thai he received a caucus nomination is no na son why any conscientious Democrat should vote for uim. Having himself treated such a lamination with contempt, he deserve, to be compelled to lake the medicine he administered toothers. We would say this of any other man, w ere he the best personal triend we have living, fad he acted in a similar man ner.

The "Americans" ot Lancaster County, the '-OLD GUARD" of the Whig Party, have issued a call for a County Convention to be held in the City of Lancas ter on the I yth of Augu-t next to nominate a "straight out American County Ticket" pledged to the support f of the State Ticket headed by H AZI.EHFRST! The following preamble an 1 resolutions were also adopted: | "Whereas, We. the members of the American ; : County Committee, being lully satisfied that ta-ion tn j an v form w hat ever with the Black R-publ nans, would j be disastrous to the principles of the Amelican par- I {y —as we have had abundant evidence of their ba-c trickery whenever there has been a union with them i —therefore, Resolved. That we fertbwith call a County Con vention, for the purpose of settli-ig a thoroughly : American County Ticket, and that we will use ail honorable means to secure the election of the j -ame. ! Resolved, That as Americans we w ill stand ; i firm to our cause, and like our foretalhers of the j Revolution, w ill battle ti:l victory shall crow n our i -Ports." We discover that the "American-" in a number of Counties'are nominating their own Tickets, and re | pudiating WtistoT and ft.'/ who advocate his election, j i Under these circumstances, what do s Bedford Conn >ty intend to do? It is we!! known that there are j hundreds of the "American Party" in this county who 1 i will not touch \?timoT or any Ticket pledged to his i support, and, if true to the principles they profess, i j they will follow the example set them by their friends • m Lancaster. V\ - are assured that the great body ■ | of the opposition in St. Clair Township, (utterly (lis- ] I gusted with the frauds practised opori them last year , i by JORDAN &.

Tin principles of common decency would dictate that ail true friends of Hazlehur-t repudiate County j Tickets, tiiemembeis of which are friends of that j l auk Abolition "Free Trader,'' DAVID W'Sl.MOT—and we {hink those in Bedford County have spirit and manliness enough to do this. fr" Tn AT EN:T!;A FAV !—.Mr. JORDAN boasts ol haying voted again-t the Bill giving to each member ; $2OO of extra, - ay, "in every form in which it cam up"— ami yet he aeknovvieg-s that he pocketed the money.

It is in (he power of the Democratic patty to ! j give lasting permanence and efficacy to tier ■; great triumph of last November, and it is her oleinn and imperative duty to do so. When ! the pure, able and sagacious Statesman, James Buchanan, was elected over the sectional ad : venturer, John C. Fremont, it was a glorious ; triumph of the Llriion aud the Constitution or ei , i sectional fanaticism, whose success would ' have (men the death-knell to both, and would* ' have buried their hopes herewith their own ruins , forever. When that fearful stiuggle was over, and it was known that the national party—the j i Democracy —had triumphed, a sense of relief j and of gratitude was felt in every Democratic ; breast throughout the Union. All fe{t that the j great crisis was past, and that our confederated existence was again secure for a time. All j seemed to realize the mighty consequences that were involved in the contest through which i tfiev bin! just passed, and u e presume that ev ery D mocrat in the nation vow ed in bis >v\ n . heart that he would never again grow cold.or indifferent in regard to the importance of pre j seising the Unio i and the Constitution, or he i come lax in the full discharge of every duty to j that great party to which he individually, and the whole country, owed so much. This vow, i too, we have no doubt, was made in good faith, i arid with a foil determination that it should | never be violated. But how is it with us to : <:av * D> we all feel the same earnest, burii -1 nig anxiety lor the success of the party and its candidates—the same lively and ardent zeal in !: e cause—that we did then ? Are we all willing to make the same sacrifices of personal feeling and persona! preferences, that w'e vv.ere i:i the great struggle of 1 b.)6 ! Are we ail w i!l -ing to gether our personal differences, our li;tl' j disappointments and heart-burnings, as in a bun dle, and offer them all a sacrifice upon the a {tar !of our party's success? If we do not fee! thus, we fear we have fallen from the faith—that t we have forgotP-n our vows, and the • .hot••:!<• we then had for the preservation of the I rrioti and the Constitution—and that we do mil de- • serve a victory on the second Tuesday of Octo- ; her next. Hot if we feel the sawne ardor-—the •-an e -feeph'-s anxiety for the parti 's sticc>s — the <ime wiilingn* ss to forget and forgive peg. I sonal and private differences—the same deter j ruination to rote the whole democratic ticket, ■ regardless of our kikes and dislikes— ail ft the i •sake of the public good, and the protection of . our State and na'ion from the hands of Ihose w ho would sacrifice their stability to sectional ism, or barter their interests to mammoth cor ners?! Ms, we ma.V feel confident that we are : still l.'i uers in the good cause, and that another triumph, equally signal, if l' S.s important to that of I SAG, aw aits tts in October next. Every Democrat ought to just (eel and act as if the whole success of the party depended ! upon his own vote that riles he voted for the I w hole ticket it would be defeated, arid there fore the principles of the party sacrificed to the opposition. No Democrat should excuse him-* self from voting f r this or that candi 'ate on ' the plea that th>;e v iil be plenty of votes with out his to fkcl. It there should be a candi date on the ticket that ion do not personally like, do riot throw him aside on the ground.-'hat your vote wonld only count one, and tberef/re it is of'no consequence.

Tinre is r ; :)t the slightest ri mbt that at nnv period in tiie past hi>toi v of this country, when the masses haw not been excited by some huge political chip-trap, which has stolen up n them I with the rapi 1 sty of a whirlwind, that the in stincts, an 1 i'eeli.og, the belief and positive set ; tied creed and opiii ms of the majority of the pe pi- : f this I i. ton, have been in the widest | and strongest sen.-- of the word, Democratic.— Democracy is a term, the meaning of which I needs no peculiar elucidation t > understand.— ■ l iie human mind if {eft untrammelled, unshack ele.J, readily and naturallv fail- into its piinci ples, as the thirsty camel in his tiavels our the j plain.-, smells afar, and at once finds the water, lie needs to drink. It is an innate idea, stamp ed upon the triirnl at the moment of its first e\- j is! roe and would in every individual cae ex pand into a gfo; ions principle, if fa Is- educa tion did not prevent it. The germ of Democracy is found in Urn rev ! olutioriary Spirit o| Europe ; it is ever alive in the bosoms <ri the Priest-ridden and King-rid | d>'U ; smouldering it is true, Out, there i. ever a j spark or t wo, which is sometimes kindled int > ■ a vivid flame at which monaiciis tremble. It j ' s demon acy which sends the man 1 who., gious and whose social principles j have not been allowed free scope in the old | world, into this home of the oppressed. He I may not understand and recognize its feeble j struggles to expand with full life, yet if is there, j and if allowed to assert itself, and follow the in i stincts of its own nature, it will shine in that i ; man's bosom, a beacon light of iiving truth. I tie past history of this country shows how | fearfully for a time the great masse, may fie ! swayed by error: : -t that this principle of truth can ever He id rited out, or tiiat the unmistaka ble instincts of tin- gr-at majority will be render ed permanently powerless, by "false reasoning, j but that at times this natural perception of j men rights—this great living truth called de- ; mocracv may be lost sight of hv the introduc j tiori of new doclriin.,-, the dangerous nature of j which is for a morn-nt hidden by the sophistry ' which heralds them, and which the reflect ion ! of the masses is too slow in its action to imme diately s-e through and tear aw ay, is a fact i-x -j perience has written down in lettris of t.rass. j We need go no further than the hard cider j campaign of ISIO to show one of the whirl winds of error which for a moment scattered the ranks of the Democracy, hut scattered only while the reasoning pjwer of tiie masses was ! dormant. Again, in th- late eleetion, another false dnc i trine, or rattier a couple of political i-rnis futui, j 1-d off many an unreflecting and honest rninri : ed Democrat, who, when he fhnnd his feet in ; tiie bog of error and falsehood, had time to at j fend to the instincts of his nature and seek a ! hasty and quiet return to the sound foothold j j which his creed had ever given him. Black Republicanism arid Americanism had for a rr.o merit with the specious sophistry which sur rounded them, dazzled a poition of the masses, but only for a moment: there is not a Democrat 1 who breathes to-day, who left the ranks of that 1 vast army, now in the majority in this country, for the falsejfght of I<fpub!icanisstt, who will | not upon reflection when "the sober second j thought" hj>s had its effect, determine upon a return to the only naturally political existence i w hiifh "ail men who are born free and equal," may enjoy. It is one of the signs of the times to witness the evident chagrin and mortification, the abso lute workings of the conviction pf error, and a . deejp repentance on the part of'he foolish mem s bers of the Democratic | ail} who were daz jzled bv the glare of the will-with-the-u isp, the jack-wit b-a-lantern, and were momentarily i drawn away from the principles whose truths they, ever had acknowledged till their false lights betrayed them: and the fundamental prin— ; ciples these same truths established, were nevr i plainer In these back-sliders than to-dav : and ] tfle instinct of these natures is at work till we j shall find them back once more on true, sound, Democratic ground, wiser and better men.

Mure Trouble iu Kansas* The litest intelligence from Kansas confirms the previous news that the Abolitionists in and out of the Territory have concluded to make one more attempt to build up the waning condi tion of their party h\ resisting the power of the regularly constituted ci< il authorities. They refused in a r belli us spirit, to \u tew hen pro- j perly called upon to do so, and then, wh-n the election was over, they declared it to be illegal. They have instigated treasonable measures— ptovoked th w ir opponents to deeds of anarchy and murder, and afterwards denied the conduct of which they were guilty. In a word, the sole object of the Abnlit mni.fs is to make politi cal-capita! on' of the affairs in Kansas, regard less of the vi Ifare ; f the black man, the rights of the white mail or the fundamental princi-j pies of our republican institutions. They have, ' it ap| tars, reached the la.-f step in tf ir rarerr of rebellion, and it has become necessary Sbr i CJov.
