The enemy is again before you, daring you to the combat. Arouse, therefore; gird on your armor; buckle on the sword of Democracy, and be ready once more to fly to the rescue on the twelfth of October next. We must be active, we must be vigilant, if we would conquer.— The will be ours only if we fight our foe manfully and determinedly. The present campaign is one of great impor tance. The result of the coming election in this State, may determine what party shall choose the next President. The Congressmen elected this Fall, will hold their offices until 1861, and if the election of President should he thrown into the National House of Repre sentatives, as it will be if the Opposition suc ceed in getting a majority in that body, those Congressmen will assist in choosing the Presi dent, and their is a possibility even that the member from this district may have the casting vote! llow important, then, that we shoulu organize! How important that we should leave no honorable means urdried to swell the ranks of the Democracy ! How important that every Democratic vote should be polled on Election day ! Goto work, therefore! Let no Demociat stand idie! "Eternal vigilance is the price of Liberty !" MR. McPIIEKSON AND THE TARIFF. The Aiwlition candidate for Congress in this district, bases his claims partially upon his pretences in favor of a protective tariff. Last year MR. MCPHEBSON was Secretary to the Wilmot State Committee and spent weeks in helping to arrange the dirty work lor the 1 REE TRADE ABOLITION candidate for Governor. A pretty fellow to talk about protection, surely ' PLENTY OF CANDIDATES. In the first Congresional District, Philadel phia, there are four candidates for Congress, th regular Democratic, Anti-L *cumpion, Aboli tion and Straight American. COL. FLORF.NCT the regular Democratic nominee, we are glad t< hear, will undoubtedly be re-elected. EIGHTEENTH CONGRESSIONAL DIS TRICT. The Democratic Conferees of the eighteen!! Congressional district, met at Johnstown, on th 10th inst., and nominated CYRUS L. PFHSIIINC Esi;., as the Democratic candidate for Congres: for that district.

The Ireasurt means what he says, and all delinquents aft< the Ist October, next, may expect to be vis ted with a reward of merit. SHRIEKS OF A FRIGHTENED DEMA GOGUE. Air.. FRANCIS JORDAN is just now in a pila ble state of trepidation. His article on the Tariff, in the last Abolition organ, indicates that he is almost ft ant ic with fear concerning the issue ol the present campaign. He had flatter ed himsell that by raising a Tariff excitement, some of the good citizens of Bedford county might be swung from their Democratic moor i j ings, but alas ! and alack! his fond hopes were destined to an early blight, and now, in the overw helming gloominess of his despair, he sits down, trembling and aghast, anil shrieks to the |>eap!e he ha- so often deceived, to shun the counsels of the Democratic party. The harmo |ny and enthusiasm in the ranks of the ! Democracy, in contrast with the dissensions | and listlessness of his own party—the impregna- I bit* positions which the former occupy in re ! gard to the different issues before the people, ; when compared with the miserable shifts to j which he and his fellow demagogues are com ! pel led, from time to lime, to resort —in short, ; iho whole aspect of parties and politics, cause j him to "fear and tremble" for the result on the twelfth of October next. MR. JORDAN talks about having seen "many contemptible evasions and much hypocrisy in bis day," which we have no doubt is very as he must have si en plenty of both whilst engaged in cheating the Fillmore men in ISO 6. He also says that the people were deceived in 1841, by the cry that "Folk was a better Tariff man than Clay," who, he says, was (be "father of Protection." Now, if the people were de ceived, in 1814, how comes it that the country never enjoyed greater piosperitv than when the Tariff recommended fy James Iv. I'olk, was in force ? How comes it that with the revenues obtained under thai Tariff, the Govern ment was perfectly solvent, paid off"ali t!ie heavy indebtedness incurred in carrying on the Mexi can War, purchased and paid Cor a large tract of Territory, and defrayed all its reg"!?.r bhd incidental expenses? Sorely, a me people were deceived, it was not the Democrats who deceived them, but the lying, unscrupulous politicians who told them that the country would be ruined if Polk were elected President. But, Clay was the father of protection," was he ? Well, let us see : HENRY CLAY ON THE TARIFF. "Carry out the spirit of the Compromise Act. Look to revenue alone for the support of Government. Do not raise the question teclion, which I had hoped had been put to rest. There is no necessity of protection for protec tion Mr. Clay in the Senate, January 21, 1812, in reply to Mr. Woodbury,on the Treasu ry note bill. "I NEVER WAS IN FAVOR OF WHAT IS REGAR DED A HIGH TARIFF. ..Vo more revenue should be levied than is necessary to an economical ad ministration of the Government Mr. Clay to Mr. Meriweather of Geoigia, October 2d, 1813. - "I never was in favor of duties being so high t „ a .„wui.i iv p fact that the late Democratic County Convention re-allirined the doctrines of the Cincinnati platform and at the same time adopted the resolution just quo ted. He tries to show that the Cincinnati Plat j form avows the doctrine of Free Trade, in order to do which, he quotes that part of it which de clares in favor of " free seas " and "progressive free-trade throughout the world.'''' Now, there is a vast difference between "free-trade through out the world" and free-trade as understood in its relations to the tariff question. What we understand by free-trade is the importation of foreign goods into our country free of duty.— It is not the "free seas I ' the free commerce of the woi Id—referred to in the Cincinnati | Platform. Nobody ever understood it as such ; and if MR. JORDAN'S intellect were a little less obtuse, or it is conscience not quite so elastic, he would not have confounded the one with the other. The Democratic party, as is wt !1 * ... known, has never yet committed it., if to the doctrine ot Free Trade and it is at this day farther from doing si than ever, lor the reason that its i ree i rade men. such as DA\ ID WIL MOT and JOHN M. RLAD, have deserted its standai . and gone otiice-huating in the ranks of the Opposition. who desire good flour, we commend to Mir. JOHN NELSON, of Hopewell Mills. We j have tried it and speak—not by the "card"— | but by the loif. Besides being a good miller, i Mr. Nelson is a clever fellow and deserves the ! patronage of the people. [Hr'The meeting of the "Buchanan Club" on Saturday night lust, was well attended, full of enthusiasm and good feeling. DN. KEY&EU, of Pittsburg, addressed the Club, in an eloquent and powerful speech. A number ot new mem bers signtd the Constitution. ARE THEY ABOLITIONISTS ? We copy below an article from the last Som erset Herald and Whig, which originally ap peared as an editorial in the Philadelphia Xorth American, the leading FREMONT journal in this State in 1856. The Xorth American j also supported WILMOT last I' ail ; it was the J principal newspaper advocate of Henry for ; Mayor of Philadelphia, and now urges the claims cf JOHN M. EI.AU for Supreme Judge.— It is at present the most influential newspaper in the interest ol the so-called ''Republican, or People's" party. In fact, it is the Dr. Fran cia of the Opposition in Pennsylvania,—their ruler and dictator, from whose imperial decree, there lies no appeal. The Somerset Herald and Whig is the organ of the same party in Sotner j set county. We might truthfully say that it is the mouth-piece of that party in this county, as its humbug is echoed here regularly by the Abolitionists. These new spapers being the ac credited and acknowledged exponents of the Opposition faith, whatever they publish and i endorse, must be received as the doctiines of their party. Therefore, the article which we have just alluded to, proves that Abolitionism simon-pure—tier rit-Smith-Lovejoy Abol it ion ism—is one of their doctrines. The article i reads as follows : '■. ILLINOIS.—The fight wayps hotter and hot ter in this State troin day to day. The fever heat of 1856 was cold to it. On the night of the 25th, Frank Blair and Senator Trumbull addressed the assembled multitudes ai Alton on the great issue of the day. I eri/y, the blood of one of ike first mnrhjrs in the cause of free dom has proved the seed of TRUTH. In that very place, twenty-one venrs atro, Lovejov was slain. NOW THE PEOPLE FLOCK IN THOUSANDS TO HEAR HIS BROTHER PROCLAIM THE DOCT ft I N Id S FOR WHICH THAT BLOOD WAS SHED." Every body remembers the Lovejoy riots at Alton, and that Lovejoy was a rampant Abo litionist. The brother of Lovejoy ailuded loin the above article, is at present a "Republican" !T""T.ber of Congress and one of the leaders of that party in the State of Illinois. Therefore, if he is now, as a "Republican," proclaiming "the doctrines for which his brother's blood was shed," (as the forth American has it and as the Somerset Herald and Whig re-publishes) then surely, the doctrines of the "Republican" party, must be identical with those of Aboli tionism. Out of their own mouths, therefore, have we convicted these charlatansol the charge which they so vehemently deny, viz : that theij are Abolitionists. !LP*The editors of the Abolition organ sadly displeased at the large crowd present at the Democratic meeting on Monday evening of Court Week, and still more sadly disappointed at their own miserable fizzle on the Tuesday night following, are venting their spleen upon the heads of Judges Snively and Hartley. They say that Court was held on Monday, in order to keep the people in town for thp rLmw.i;- meeting in the evening. lo show the utter groundlessness of this charge we need but refer to the fact that Court was held on Tuesday, 100, in the forenoon and afternoon. The Court did no more than its duty, in attending to such business as it found it important to dispose of. PARADE AT SCJIELLSIJURG. Friday last, the anniversary of Perry's Vic tory, u as celebrated at Schellsburg, by the Bed ford Riflemen, commanded by CAPT. SANSOM, and the Schellsburg Black Plumed Riflemen, CAPT. RITCHEY, the whole under the direction of BRIGADE INSPECTOR EVANS. The military and citizens were addressed by Mr. EVANS and Dr. G. H. KEYSER, of Pittsburg, who, we are told, both acquitted themselves admirably.— The whole affair is said to have come oil very ! pleasantly. The "Black Plumed Riflemen" is the name of a new company just started at Schellsburg, and, we are informed, makes a very fine appearance. Capt. Sansom's compa ny is always nu fait. PIC NIC AT THE SPRINGS. The Presbyterian Sabbath School of this place, had a pic nic at the Springs, on Thursday, the 9th inst. At an early hour in the morning, baskets filled with refreshments for the occasion were taken to the school room and thence to the Springs. Shortly after, children arid teach ers followed. The place and the day were de lightful, and every thing "gotten up" for the occasion was fine and pleasing. While some amused themselves by strolling through the dif ferent windings of the surrounding hills, others rolled ten-pins, and some had possession of the different bathing rooms, making the welkin ring at every plunge they took into the water. All returned, gieatly pleased, and feeling like j repeating at some future time, the happy scenes | of the day. SHUCKING ACCIDENT. On Thursday of last week, a little lad a sob of Mr. Jacob Ringler, of Somerset county, came to his death in the following dreadful and heart rending manner: In company with his urscle, he was coming to this place, with a wagon-load of boards, and when about a mile from town was about passing another wagon going westward, at which time he was walking in the rear of his uncle's wag on. As the team going westward was about coming abreast of him, the tongue of the wagon struck him down and before the horses could be checked, the wheels had passed over his head, crushing it in such a manner that life was ex tinct in an instant. day iast week, as Mr. Frank Clem ens, a young man in the employ of Robert Fyan,Esq., of this place, was handling a loaded pistol, the piece was accidentally discharged, itiie contents striking the palm ot his left hand and mangling it horribly. EAGLE SHOT. A grev eagle measuring five feet six inches from the tip of one wing to that of the other, was shot a few days ago, by Mr. WIN. Gracy ol Juniata Crossings. Great country this for eagles and "sich like." Anti-Leeomptonites of Schuylkill county have nominated a MR. CAKE for Con gress. — Exchange. It is our opinion that that Cake will be dough about the twelfth of October : that is, if he isn't "done brown" by WILLIAM L. DEVVART. Our Congressional District. A few weeks ago we gave a statement of the vote in this Congressional District at the sever al elections for a member of Congress. Below will be found a statement of the vote for Gov ernor in the District at the last election. It will be seen that the Democrats had a clear majority of upwards of a thousand over the com bined American and Republican vote: Dem. Repub. Amer. Counties. Packer. Wilmot. Ilazelhurst. Adams, 2363 1900 58 Bedford, 2338 1568 398 j Fulton, 817 570 9 Franklin, 3186 3058 91 Juniata, 1108 1035 20 9812 8131 576 Packer's majority over Wilmot 1681 ! " " " both 1105! We feel satisfied that this majority, large as it is, can be largely increased for Air. Reilly. Fulton county will give him at least 300 ma jority.—Fulton Democrat. From California. The steamer Star of the West arrived at New York, on the 10th, from Aspinvvall, bringing Hews from California to the 20 uli., and •$!,- (>96,61)3 in treasure. Owing fir the laig" num ber of arrivals from all parts of the woil i, tiie San Francisco markets were overstocked with goods, and a corresponding depression in trade prevailed. The political campaign in Califor nia had fairlv opened. The news from the new gold country were more favorable. Advices to the Mth trom the Fiazer river country were received by the Panama, which arrived on the iSth. The river had fallen, and the miners generally doing better. The Indians about llumbold Bay are exceed ingly troublesome. A Mr. Thomas Doyle is the or.lv passenger known to have been lost by the recent disaster to the steamship Oregon, which ran ashore on Point Reyes. A collection made by certain benevolent individuals for the relief of his lam ilv amounted to upwards of six hundred dol lars. The difficulties between J. C. Fremont and the Merced Mining Company still continue.— The latter refuse to yield possession of their vein, and the men who occupy it insist that they will resist. A fire at Sonora on the Bth inst. consumed sl-0,000 worth of property. The Presdy terian church was destroyed. A large amottnt of w ire has been purchased in San Francisco for the Placerville and Salt Lake telegraph line. The San Francisco papers say, during the last ten days one thousand Chinamen have landed vr .tJaomaa . By this arrival there was no important news from New Granada. We learn from Nicaragua that Coi. Canty had attempted to take possession of Punta Arenas in the name of Costa Rica.— He was, however, opposed by the British Con sul at Greytown, and the British naval officers, who propose annexing the Point to Mosquitia. This movement will, it is supposed, lea l to An ther complications ol the Central Ameiican questi#). Col. Cauty had left for Aspinvvall.

TO CALIFORNIA. — ' We learn from ifre Cleveland Piaiudeal er, lb..' Messrs. O'Reilly, Speed, and others are perfect ing a sort of narrow prarre plough, with which to lay an underground cable through the west ern prairies, to California. This plough is to cut a channel* say, three inches wide and three feet deep, so constructed as to pay out from the immediate heel of the plough the insulated wire ■ which will be in no way connected with the plough, other than passing down through it as it progresses, ft is expected that on common prairie this plough may be driven from ten to fifteen miles per day, tiliing in ami coveting: the wire as it goes. The perfection .arrived at in insulating wire with gutla perclta is very great; the machinery is SJ perfect and conden sed as to add much to the facility and security ol such an enterprise. A BANK "BLOWN UP."— The Bank of Mem phis was blown up by gas on the (ith. The Memphis Ledger says; '■On Saturday lad the gas burner in the icon vault was left burning. As soon as the atrr.os- j pheric air within was consumed, (the oxygen it | contains) the burner went out. When Mr. ' Roach opened the vault and lighted a match in- j side, the gas, having filled the vault, at once : exploded, sending him and Mr. Gillelarid with 1 great violence to the front end of the room, bursting out the front doors, which had riot been opened, and also breaking the heavy oaken bar k i door into fragments, which, strange to tell, is immediately behind the vault. Ihe vault itself is uninjured. RICH.—In England, lately, a suit for breach of promise of marriage was bought by a fisher man's beautiful daughter against a captain in the English army, lay iog damages at $50,000. The love letters of the gallant captain were so nu merous, that they were printed for the accom modation of counsel, making in all a volume of one hundred and ninety-eight pages. The mat ter wa finally compromised bv tfie* payment to the injured lady of the sum of t--n thousand dol lars, with the promise that the volume u! I Hers should be burnt. A CANAL THIKHGH THE ROGKV MORNTSIX-. —During the recent debate in the British Mouse of Commons on the subject of the i .mew ing of the!{iidscii Bay Company's ia iliges.Lorci Buriy affirmed that a communication might ea sily be established between Lake Superb r and the Pacific Ocean by the means of a ship canal connecting the Saskatchewan and Columbia rivers. 13 >th rivers tak" their rise in the Rocky Mountains, the Columbia flowing west to the Pacific and the Saskatchewan running eat to Lake Winnipeg, a little to the north west of Lake Superior. With the exception ofasin g|e rapid (which might be avoided by a canal,) his lordship Mated that the navigation of the Saskatchewan offers no difficulty. With that one exception, a vessel of considerable size can be taken up to the tool of tile Rock v Mountains and at this point there is a gap in the mountain which interposes no gn at obstacle to the junc tion of tiie Columbia and Saskatchew an, whose sources are but a short distance apart. Thus a direct communication would be established with the Pacific. NOBLE DOG.—(.'apt.

Large oodies of ice have been observed in the Atlantic ocean recently. One was enormous in size, being two hundred feet high and four hundred feet long. At this season of the year ice is seldom seen by voyagers, and the probability is, (he summer within the Arctic zone has been unusually powerful in sitting fiee the moun tains of ice in that region. Takirig a Copper Cent from a Chili's Stomach —On .Monday last, a little girl about three years of age, daughter of Mr. Phillip Potsdam, living near the corner of Fifth .and Sycamore streets swallowed a copper cent, of the old c lin age.
