By order of the Democratic Co. r om. O. E. SHANNON, Chairma THOSE QUESTIONS. Why it Hr. Tayiorsilesitl The Abolition-A ma iganiai ion-Know-Noth ing candidate for Associate Judge, refuses to answer tile questions put to him irt our pap'-r ot week b-fore last. He dares not reply to them. He has so inany interests to conciliate —so ma ny sharp corners to turn—that it is not at all agreeable to him to meet thus* queries frankly and boldly. In order to round th many rough headlands in the course of his political voyage, he must dodge—dodge—dodge ! A while he is in the Abolition boat, sailing along socially with the negro-lovers— presto, he is in the Know Nothing craft, working its oars most dex terously—anon, he jumps on board the Demo cratic ship and makes love in the rr.o>t tender style to those terrible "Locofoco*," whom he always despises most cordially except when he is a candidate for office. But dodging won't do, Mr. Taylor. The people want to know your answer.* to these question* : Mr. Taylor, did you not, in 1557, vote for DAVID WILMOT, for Governor, who was supported by the abolitionists of Pennsylvania for that office, and did you not refuse to sup port ISAAC HAZELHUBST, the Straight Ameri can, anti-abolition candidate of your party ? Did you not vote, last fall, tor JOHN M. READ, •he candidate for Supreme Judge of this State, supported by the .Abolitionists * Would yon not vole tor WM. H. SEVVARD, if nominated by vcur party for President, the man who recently declared that there isan "ir repressible conflict betw en freedom and slave ry," which wilt never reave titl the cotton and rice-fields of the South shall be cultivated by free tabor, or tb- rye and wheal fields of the North bv slave labor 7 Will you not vote for GEO. W. WILLIAMS, the model Abolition-Amalgamationist, who vo ted against the Bill to prevent the intermarriage of whites and b'acks ? Lastly, as you are still a sworn Know Noth ,ng f never having renounced your oath, would vou not be compelled to vote torGerrif Smith, W. Lloyd Garrison, or any avowed and una dulterated Abolitionist, if nominated by your part\ 1 v .. WHY IT WAS DONE. The nomination ol MR. JOHN TAYLOR for Associate Judge, was made by the Know Nothing Abolition wire-workers, for the tx ; press purpose of entrapping such Democrats as from i heir personal and family connexion with Mr. Taylor, would be inclined to vote for him. He was nominated, not because of any respect 1 for his talents, or hi? worth as a citizen, butbe ; cause the aforesaid wire-workers supposed that : some of Mr. Taylor's relatives, who are among the best Democrats in the county, would be induced to desert their party and vote for their cousin or their brother-in-law. His nomina tion is i trap set expressly for .Mr. Taylor's Democratic relatives. We have laid bare the pit-fall ; should any one find himself caught in it, it will not be without a proper warn ing. "WORSE THAN A YANKEE." MR. JORDAN says we are worse than a Yan kee, because when he asks us a question, we answer him by asking him half a dozen in turn. We can say nothing in extenuation of this sad habit ot ours, except that Mr. Jordan's political history is of such a questionable nature that we can't resist the temptation of putting a few in terrogatories to him, now and then. Will Mr. Jordan answer this question : Did the truth suffer more at your hands,* Mr. Jordan, when von said in 1855 that Simon ' ... Cameron v. as a "slimy politician, who never accomplished an honorable achievement in poli tics,'" or when you proclaimed, a few days ago, that he "teas ALWAYS the able and zealous advocate of the great interests of Pennsylvania which he so well understands ?" is HEAN'ABOLTTIONIST ? MR. SAMUEL J. WAY, who is a candi date lor the office of County Treasurer, was busily employed during the !a?t summer, in get ting subscribers to the 'A*. Y. Tribune , an Abo lition newspaoer of thp rankest sort, whose ed itor has proclaimed that " rather than, iobrate I national slavery as it now exists, let the Union j be dissolved at once, and then the sin of slave ry will rest where it belongs," and whose cor resjxondeot, JAMES REDPATH, has slid of Southern slave-dealers, "Drive them into the. sea as Christ once drove the swine." After Mr IVay'a "fforts to sow broadcast such heresies as l these, we presume few persons will have the hardihood'o deny that he is an Abolitioo ist. A SHAMELESS FALSEHOOD. We are informed that some of the scavengers of the Abolition -Amalgamation-Know-Nothing- People's party, are circulating the story that JOHN KEMERY', the Democratic candi date for Director of the Poor, is a foreigner by birth. This is a deliberate, wanton falsehood. Mr. Kemery is an American by birth. Neverthe less, we hald that if he had been born rn Germany, or any other foreign Jland, he would not be a whit the worse for it, either as a man, i or, a citizen. TF~The piebald Opposition—the redoubta ble "ring-streaked and striper!"—are trying to make capital against GEN. COFFU'JTH by representing that he is a Forney man. This is untrue and unfair. Gen. CofFroth never sym ' pathised with Forney in his efforts to distract j and divide the Democracy. He refused, to our i own certain knowledge, to sign the call for For | ney's Bogus Convention,and last Fall he labor : ed hard for the success of the Democratic tick -1 et in Somerset county. The harmonious "apeck j iej and spotted" had better let Gen. CofFroth : alone, and tell us whirh ol their candidates tor ' the Legislature they intend to drop, Amaigama | '.ion Williams, or anti-Amalgamation Walker. Local and Miscellaneous. —A PRACTICAL NIAPEOF T;IS NEGRO QUES- TiON. A WHITE MAX ASSAULTED WITH KNIVES AND CLUBS BY NEGROES—GREAT EXCITEMENT On Saturday night last, a3 Mr. Geo. Meloy, a young man living with Mr. Steckman, of this place, was sitting in front ofthe "Mengel House," he was assaulted by a gang of negroes who, it seems, were armed with knives and clubs. A hand-to-hand struggle ensued and in the melee, voung Meioy received a severe cut from some sharp instrument in the handset one of the negroes. The alarm being given, a considerable number of citizens collected to gether and succeeded in capturing the darkies, and lodg.'ng them in jail. On Monday they crm up tor their hearing before Esq. Radebaugh when some half dozen of them were bound | over. This affair has caused much excitement among our citizens. —The Union Church, near the house of SAM- i UE!. M.

We wish our frosty neighbors much joy of their prospec tive buckwheat-cakes. The "Republican"' parfy m Kentucky is a monster 1 Just think of it ! Its candidate for Governor, Cassias M.

To the above-named committees, chosen by ihe direct vote of the Democracy of the county, the organizational th party in the sewral town ships and boroughs, is -nfrusted. It is their du ty to see that voters are properly assessed, that harmony and good feeii ng prevail among Demo crats, that the candidates of the party are not secretly injured by triesr political or their per sona! enemies, that the whole Democratic vote of their respective districts is brought to the polls, and that the interests of the party gen erally are attended to in a proper manner. These Committees are all composed of good men and ivc, therefore, confidently expect that they will render great se|* ice to Ihe Democracy between this and the election. OlMt VOlf. The importance of one vote is rarely made more manifest than it waa in the r-cent elec tions in Kentucky and Tennessee. One oppo sition candidate for Congress-, in the former State, was elected by three votes, arm in another district fiie vote was a tie. In ti.e latter Stale on* opposition candidate for Congress was elec ted by tight votes, another by twentysrx, and another by fifty. In all of these cases there were doubtless Democrats enough remained at heme to have turned the scale in favor of the Democratic nominees, had they gone to the election and deposited their baiiofs, as if was their duty to have done. We hope that Demo crats will Sear these instances in mind, tdiis fall, in this county and State, and not ur,der-estmate the importance ot one vntt in determining th result of the election. The Baltimore Reform meeting. The town meeting, held the other day in Bal- I Simore, for the purpose of devising means to rescue that city "from its present deplorable condition," was attended by imposing numbers of respectable people from all parties. The crowd which was assemble! in Monument Square is estimated at some 10,000. The res olutions which were passed, and speeches made on She occasion reveal a state of afTairs in that unfortunate community that is periectly horri ble, arid calling tor th- mist determined artivi on the part of all well disposed citizens. They must not relax in their efforts. The eyes of the country, whose sympathies are with their cause, are upon them. It they should fail .low, (he evil consequences flowing from such failure would not he confined to Baltimore alone. It would encc.urage the elements of rowdyism and hloodv an'irchv elsewhere ; but for Baltimote, it would result in utter ruin, were the present authorities allowed to continue in ppwer another term. What has become, under their blighting rule, [oftbv rights guaranteed by the Constitution of this "land of the free" to every citizen, mav be inferred fiom the following graphic description, by one of the orators of the town meeting', of The manner in which elections are managed and carried in Baltimore. "A referen e to the poi'uical proceedings of 1 the pat few weeks will illustrate what I mean, j An important election is coming on, which will [determine the character of our city Govern ' rn-nt f>r the n"xt year. Candidates were to he ! nominated, and it ha been done. But hoiv I was it accomplished ? Instead of an orderly as sembly of peaceable citizens to select the test men for important offices, we have seen a mus tering ail over the city of political clubs, whose [ vile purposes are best indicated by the vile j names which lfv*v assume. These were the I active and efficient inst-ument? iu the nomina tions. Phig Ugli-s, Blood Tubs, Black Snakes t and Tigers are some of the names in '\hichthes : people rejoice and hv which they characterized j themselves. Th vilest reptiles and most stv j age beasts in the ju rmnt of these men of the j club, form their most appropriate designations; and fittest emblems. These clubs c -mtirise the ■ | individuals who seek to control and often do; control the primary meetings of the people. ! Their services are to nc had bv those who pav j highest or intrigue most successfully, and they j i accomplish their work bv fraud and violence, [ ! with knif.- and pistol, th- cowardly slung-si.ot > I and iron knuckle. 7'hey have indeed come In i j be a recognize,! element in trie p >ii tit a I canvas, I and even honorable genllem°n are not ashamed : | to seek fr and accept nominations from such j | unclean hands." I The effect of the disorderly government of j 'he citv upon her repu'ation abroad, lie.- trad" j and materia! interests, is described bv another j j as fol lows : "As a merchant T must tell von how i! has of-j j fected tlie trade and commerce of our city. East | winter I made a trio to our Western country : ■ I visited manv narts of Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, j i Missouri anil lowa. I ca'ied to see rr.ariy mer j chants in those Stafp®, and invited 'hem to com-' I to Baltimore and deal with u, and 1 am name i |to tell you their answer. We used to deal in ! Baltimore, said some of them—we would likej to deai in Baltimore, said others, but we can do just as well in Philadelphia and New York, and we do not wish to incur the risk ofgoing to j Baltimore. Your laws and authorities are pow erless against the banded outlaws of your city,j and we are afraid to come there. Every now and then we receive a remittance ; from some country merchant about the time we i are expecting him to com" to Baltimore and ; buy his goods, making the announcement there- j with that he will notcorneto Baltimore this' season, but will go east bv the northern rout".; We ask for no explanation —we all under stand it. Many of those who do come here make (heir calculations when they l**ave home to arrive h°re in the morning, so that they can make a few special purchases in Baltimore, and leave again in the evening train for Philadelphia. It was only last week that a merchant made such a visit to Baltimore. Nothing cor.ld in duce him to spend (he night here, as he said he had already violated the promise he had made to his wife when he left home, which was that he would not come to Baltimore at all. Another in tanceoccurred in the esse of one of my own customers from a neighboring city, lie came here to purchase goods, and finding that he could not complete ail iiis purchases in a daVj returned home by the evening train, and came back again the next morning. And the evil reputation of Baltimore is not confined to the western hemisphere. I crossed the ocean a short time since upon a business mission. I visited a remote town in England to make a purchase. The manufacturer with whom 1 was dealing had never seen me before. He was an humble man, and I had r.o reason to think that he had ever heard of Baltimore. He inquired what market in the United States I bought for. I fold him 1 bought for Baltimore. Baltimore! said lie, with a sudden impulse; why, that's the place where the rowdies shoot people down in the street." These remarks need no comment —they speak for themselves. Numerous as ttie meeting was, the auda city of the rowdies was such as to appear in force and attempt to disturb its proceedings* But the ringleaders were promptly arrested this tune. We trust that the right cause will conquer, and that the reform movement will be success ful. The power is in the hands of the respect able classes of the community. It is their boun den, sacred duty to assert i , and, if need oe, to make an example that will stiike terror into the souls of the evil disposed.— Pennsylvmiun.
