A DUN. —Our friends, espcc-i-lly those tsi deb'ed to us for several years past, are respect fully and earnestly requested to. call on us in Court week and pay the amount due us, or at least part. Those not coming to town can send the needful with their neighbors who are com ing. We have about S2OO to raise then, for paper, rent, &<*., and without this dun is at tended to, we must stick, that's all. THE GAZETTE AJfD FREE TRADE. __ T a,ww.tvlft a " 4 the Gettysburg STar, our down street neighbor U 'vvers bims.lf as follows: "It (the paragraph) was intended, we pre sume, as a reply to aw article of ours, in which we endeavored to call the attention of tLo public to the very obvious fact, that alt I,he evils which periodically prostrate our manufac turing interests are attributable alone to a pa per currency, which has no real value and does not icprcsect things of real value." A few week* only have elapsed since this same editor of the Gazette gravely informed Tie readers that the whole cause of our finan cial embarrassments, &c., was the failure of "The Ohio Li r e and Trust Company." We took occasion at that time to expose end ridi cule this puerile assortion or pretended discov ery, and attributed the cause of the country's distress to the free trade practices of sham de mocracy, aud referred to the public meetings of the people, and their similar views on the same subject. Having no faith in what be had himself written to deceive his readers, aDd no doub' ashamed of the ridiculous position he had assumed, he has now discovered another soft cause of our "financial embarrassments,'' and with all apparent seriousness informs us that our whole troubles aro "attributable alone to a paper currency, which has no real valrn-, and does not repacsent tilings of real value." Let us inquire then how it comes that Presi dent Bjcbanan recommended, and the last democratic Congress enacted a law authorizing the i-sue of twenty millions of dollars of pa per money, and the whole amount IJBS actually been issued accordingly* if paper money rep resents no value, and in addition to this, de a roys our manufacturing interests, is it not in comprehensible how a professed democratic ad ministration has issued twenty millions of pa per money treasury notes, in less than six months! To us this looks like the avowal of a determination not only to bre.ik down all our vast manufacturing interest*, but also to keep them broken down. But the Gazette, in its wisdom, further says: ! "The Democratic parly, North ami South, has always beeu iD favor of a tariff for reve nue. with incidental protection to home inter est*, and such is the tariff which has prevailed sice the organization of the government. But • f fails i f its object, because of the exc:ss of paper money, which gives to everything except gold and silver, n nominal value equal lo double, or more, of dsital IAIUP, ocoord-.ng to tho in flation of the time; (.has tendering the provis ion for protection against manufacturers, who sell only for gold and silver, inoperative and void." Here i* a most admirable definition of a de niot rs'ic tariff. It meaus anything, or everything, or nothing, just u you please to t.ke it. Wo have had the tariffs of 1813 a* a 1828, of 1833, 1842, and 184G; we have L.d high tariffs and low tariffs, and yet we tire seriously told thut the above definition in cludes them nil, for t: such is the iari(f which tics prevailed since the organization of the government A Hut, we are further told, in tho above ex- tract, th*t the excess of paper money, "gives to everything, except gold and silver, a nominal value equal to double, or more, of its real value, according to the inflation of the tiinps," &c.— That is paper money has no value, and repre sents no real value. It has destroyed our man ufactures, and, worse than all, it has doubled the prices of everything over their real value. Farmers, do you hear that 1 You have been selling your wheal at a dollar per bushel, and less; and you are now giveu to understand that this is a "uomiual value," caused by paper money, whilst the reai value is only fifty cents per bushel or less; that is, this nominal value is double or more of the actual value. What do you think of such democracy as this 1 Pro duce and wages, and almost everything, also, have been coming down, down, aud down, un til the whole country is suffering in conse quence of it; and yet it seems thoy arc, iu the opinions of sharn democracy, double what they ought to be. This is a rofcash of the Buchan an low wages doctiine, only a little more bold ly avowed than is usual Iu speaking of wa ges and prices, Mr. Buchanan, in bis celebra ted ten cent speech saiJ, (we quote from mem ory, not having his speech at hand) "reduce wages to the European standard, and you cov er the country with benefits aud blessing."— The Americau laborers, farmers and mechanics have been deprived of that protection afforded by the tariff of 1842, and which they ought to have, and as an inevitable consequence, prices and wages aro coming down to the "European standard," and of the "benefits aud blessings" thus afforded, we arc willing that every tax payer and voter shall judge for himself. Tliat Victory. Our democratic friends in their tribulation are becoming exceedingly thankful for small favors. The lion F. P. Blair, Jr , was the only member of the present Congress, from Missouri, who hid suTcieut integrity and man hood eneugb to vote against that political in iquity called the LeUouipton Constitution. He spoke and voted against forcing a slave con stitution upon a free State, iu defhncc of the wishes of the people. His defeat, therefore, at the recent election in Missouri, is rogurded by the minority democracy as a great triumph, and even the big chiekeu has to be paraded to give illustration and eclat to the victory. We regret Mr. Blair's defeat, beeauso lie was an able champion of the right, yet the victory is rather a questionable one, after all. Barrett, the nan elected, is whut is called u Douglass democrat, and, therefore, opposed to the pres ent administration on the principal feature of its policy, and stands with Blair on on the same ™ T ; — JU -r- — mark, that three candidates ran in the district —Barrett, the Douglass democrat, Blair, a Re publican, and BreckioriJge, an American.— The vote, by this meaus, was split into three very nearly equal parts. Barrett was elected by a small maj rity of fraudulent votes, and his seat is to be contested. The candidate who gets the certificate of election may not, therefor?, gel Lis sent, and even if he should, he goes in by a minority of about 4,000 iu his district. Our friends in Missouri are now play ing the fool hy running two tickets instead of one, like we have been doing in this Slate for several years past, end the result is defeat, as in our case. We have quit that nonsense, and got tired of electing locofoco*, and united upon one ticket,and toe result will be what it ought to have teen, and would have been, years ago, if wise counsels had prevailed. We doubt cot the defeat of our Missouri friends now will do them good, and teach them wisdom, aud that iu 18G0 they will stsud up with an undivided front, aod sweep ghaut democracy from the State, as they ought to have done this time, and might have done, but for their divisions. By the way, too, there is a set-off to Blair's defeat, which seems o have been overlooked. On the same day there was an election for Congress, in North Carolina, to fill the vacancy occasioned by the appointment of Clingman to the Senate, and Mr. B. Vance, the American candidate, was elected over one Avery, who aspired to be the Democratic successor of Clingman. On the same day, too, there was a tremen dous election in Kansas, on the Lcompton Cunstituti >n. It is said that the Washington Union, aud other papers of that iik, have not heard the returns, but we give them in another column, for the benefit of all concerned. The President aud suite, left the Bedford Springs last Friday moruing, byway of Cum berland. They were accompanied by two or throe persons from this place as far as that place. As the President drinks nothing stronger than "Old Kye Whiskey," wo un derstand that a full demijohn of that that Bill Montgomery procured for the "Old Chief," from EDOCL South, accompanied the party, which "went down" quite plentifully, under the influence of Presidential smiUs ! In another column will be found the pro ceedings of the Congressional Conference. Ii wilt be noen that our Conferees stood by Bed_ ford County throughout. Asa Bedford County man couid not receive the nomination, we ore glad the choice fell ou Mr. -Mcpherson, who is in every way qualified for a seat iq Con gress.

The last Gazette has mi article, trying to show that disaffection exists iu the American party in Philadelphia. That paper publishes au advei tiscruent from one of the city dailies, signed by a Mr. Rankin aud Macmul'an, call ing a meeting of the Straight American party in opposition to our State ticket. It will be seen the meeting was anything but harmonious, and all that was done to the advantage of our excellent ticket. Hero are the""prOecedings from the Press, and we hope the Gazette will i also publish for the benefit of its readers : ADJOITKNED MEETING OF THE AMERICAN NOMINATING CONVENTION —TnF. WHOLE I HIN'O ENDS IN SMOKE. — Pursuant to a pub lished call, the Straight-out American nomina ting Convention reassembled at three o'clock yesterday afternoon in the District Court room. There were about forty persons present Ot> ; taking the chair, the president made a corteous speech, expressing the hope that the delibera tion and action of the body would be quiet and gentlemanly, and of such a character as to make none ashamed of the name of American. He said that nothing would he win ting on bis part to lead to so desirable a result—even if there should be a misunderstanding among us. The secretary, De Xoung, then read the miuutes of the previous meeting, which were approved. Mr. B. ii. Jenkins uiovod to reconsider the resolutions njecting the People's candidates, but, as lie had not voted in the affirmative, he was not competent to make the motion. Alfred Crist, Esq., who voted in the affirma tive, moved to reconsider the resolutions re referred to by Mr. Jenkins, pending which mo tion the roll was called, and the delegates who were present took their places within the bar. A communication was received from several members of tho American association of the Twentieth ward, requesting that the Convention admit to a scat a persou whom they name. Another communication, purporting to be from the President of the Twentieth waid as sociation, was received, containing the creden tials of five persons as delegates from that ward. Motions were made to admit the six persons nauicd in those two communications as dele gates. The Secretary remarked that this would be giving the Twentieth ward six delegates, wliere j upon a confused debate arose. Mr. Q. R. W entz, of the Twentieth ward, i then made a statement, showing the regularity of his credentials a fresh lot of which he ex ' hibited. For the Dext hour or so the Convention was a scene of ludicrous disorder, nt the close of which the Tenth ward delegates protested against the admission of police, and demanded their credentials, after which they withdrew. The Seventeenth ward demanded its creden tials, and withdrew. The Fourth ward, the Eighteenth ward, the Ninth ward, the Third ward, the Sixth ward, the Seventh ward, and one or two other wards, whose nature we did not cafeh, all withdrew their credentials, and the majority with drew. The Secretary decamped with tho roll and j minutes, and a committee waited on him on the State House pavement He returned in about i fifteen minutes, aud the yeas ftDd nsvs were 1 called on Mr. Crist's morion to rpscind. The result was as follows: To rescind the resolution excluding the People's party, 19 Refusing to reconsider, 18 So the reconsideration was carried. Several other motions, of all degrees of relevance were ouade, after which the Presided stated that we hud met hero to form a distinctive American ticket. Our purposes bad been in a measure thwarted by interference, aud be therefore -junved that this Convention be now declared dissolved. The Vice President put the motion, and it was unanimously agreed to. So ends the great j Straight-out movement. Our A'eiv Head.

The subject is as applicable in lledford as it is in Dauphin County.— Owners of real estate, whose deeds are not yet recorded, lud Letter make a note of it : RECORDER. —Mr. Peter Ilunnnel, tho very efficient and obliging Recorder of our county, has published a notice of great importance to all owners, purchasers, or sellers of real -estate. We learn from it that "by an act of the Legis lature of Pennsylvania, no title for Ileal Estate is perfect md secure, unless it bo reoorded within Six months after its execution , if it be made within this State; or within Twelve .Months, if executed out of the State, iu the office for Recording of Deeds for tbe county where the lands lie; otherwise, every such deed or conveyance shall bo adjudged fraudu lent and void against any subsequent purebaeer or mortagee for valuable consideration, unless such deed or conveyance be recorded as afore said, before the proviug and recording of said deed or conveyance under which such subse quent purchaser or mortgagee shall claim. Maxwell M'Caslin, of Greene county, io this State, has written a notice of Senator Biglcr's course in Kansas. 001. M'Caslin is now io Kansas,and was turned out of office because he opposed Lecomptou. He says : "The writer was present at the Kansas land sales, in Kansas, in June of 1857, and heard Gov. Walkei and Secretary Statilon, and others, address an assemblage of people num bering over a thousand, beard Governor Walk er iu his speech admonish the people in the most convincing manner, to a peaceable and lawful settlement of their troubles by the bal lot box. He pledged his veracity as atvhonor able man that they should be protected, and should have a fair vote upon their Constitution —and 1 heard him quote the President and united Cabinet as his authority for makiug the pledges. The writer also at the same time heard Governor Bigler in his public speech ex hort the people to confide iu every promise which the Governor made them ; that they should be faithfully cairicd out: 'that he would be there (at Washington) and see that it was done.' Indeed, the people lud to infer from Bigler's expressions that lie had beeu sent out by the President to assure the people of Kansas that they should have a fair vote on their Constitution." The man who wrote the above was Speaker of the Senate of Pennsylvania for two succes sive terms, and was a most eminent Democrat all bis life.
