Author of "Lin da," "Rena," "Planter's Northern Bride," "Reline," ".Marcus Warland," "Love after Marriage," "Robert Graham," etc. etc. Complete in one large duodecimo volume, neatly bound in Cloth, for One Dollar and Twenty five cents; or in two volumes, paper cover, for one Dol lar. Read the following opinion of it by the Editor of tho "Dollar Newspaper." As a successful writer of sketches, Mrs. Rentz is, in our opinion unequaled in this country, and her continuous stories aro marked by all the charac teristics that proclaim the true novelist—a natural and ably developed plot, great powers of imagination and con struction, purity of feeling, and evident earnestness of purpose on the part of the author, without which the reader cannot feel interested in any story, while she pos sesses also the artistic skill which causes the interest of the reader to increaie as the tale proceeds, to the end of the last chapter. All who have read "Linda," and "Rena," or the Snow Bird, will readily acknowledge this; while the "Banished Son," and " Love after Marriage," attest to her excellence as a sketch writer. Every one feels, while reading her tales, that the writer herself must possess the virtue, and patriotism, and religious sentiment she incul cates, and we knew ninny who had no personal acquaint ance with the author who esteemed her as a dear friend.— 'Mrs. Ilentz was the most successful female writer that our country has produced, and Mr. Peterson has published "The Lost Daughter," uniformly with her "Linda," "Courtship and Marriage," the "Banished Son," &e., in a beautiful duodecimo volume. She combined power of de lineation and grace of style in a remarkable degree, and was a close observer of human nature, so that all her char acters seem as natural as life, while she always had a moral aim in her writings, which commends them to the fireside of every family in the land as profitable and pleasant reading. We must commend to her niany former admirers this posthumous edition of her last nouvcllettos, and we are sure they will be eagerly inquired for by all whenever the work is announced for sale. This work is now in press, and will be ready for sale, on Saturday, Sept. 26th. Copies of either edition will be sent to any part of the United States, free of 2)ostage, on remit ting the price to the publi.. - her, in a letter. Address, T. 13. PETERSON, No. 306, Chestnut street, Philadelphia. .The Bedford County Agricultural Society T7lll hold a Fair in Bedford, on the 21st, 22d and 23d days of Octo ber -next. Quite an attractive exhibition is promised., Reasonable Men, Reflect ! The Clinton, Democrat remarks, that a few years ago, the opposition to the Demo cratic party professed to believe that the wel fare of the Nation depended on a PROTEC TIVE TARIFF. Now they have as their candidate for Governor an advocate of FREE TRADE, who was in Congress and voted against their protective tariff. Later, they professed that the CATHO LICS and FOREIGNERS threatened ruin to the country, and made it their sole principle of politics that these classes should be pro hibited from holding office and voting. So essential did they regard this profession, that they organized "Councils" and placed their members under the obligation of an oath to vote against all Catholic and foreign born citizens. Nov they openly repudiate the latter half of this profession (hoping by this subterfuge to get the votes of foreign born citizens)—abandon their councils, their oaths, and their party name—and tell us that the fate of the nation now depends on making war on the Southern States !!! Once the tariff was everything—then Catholics and Foreigners were everything—now Negroes are everything 1 I All this shows the opposition to be a party of humbugs, ready to make any profession to suit the times, and sincere in nothing.— Will sober minded people act with such a party ? Why not join the ' old Democracy, who never change who have made this na tion what it is, who have governed it with a degree of success which commands the ad miration of the world—the party of the peo ple, the Constitution, and of the whole Na tion—who would have white men to govern us—who would have the people of every State to live as brethren, in religious har mony and brotherly love—the only party that has the nerve to fight fanaticism in every form and omall occasions, which never stoops to compromise with error for the sake of success—the great party of JEFFEI?.SON and JACKSON, of SNYDER. and SIuNK, which proclaims equality of rights and privileges to all white men, and maintains the right of white men to govern themselves everywhere and on all occasions! HON. WM. P. SCTIELL.—The Penns ylv anian in speaking of the nomination of Mr. Schell as the democratic candidate for Senator from this district, remarks—" Mr. Schell is a gen tleman of fine talents and much Legislative experience, and in the responsible position of Speaker of the House, which be filled with rare acceptability, displayed the finest ad ministrative and business qualities. Ile en joys an enviable popularity in his District, and we hope to see him triumphantly elected." 1 joir.i. H. Li GE , NEß .____lire are pleased to bon thnt with nil tho bitter opposition made to the success of this gentleman, lie is keep ing his opponent and the opposition very uneasy. Mr. Lightner is fully competent to discharge the duties of the office to 'the en tire satisfaction of the taxpayers of the county, and should he be elected we believe ho will make an excellent officer. -.I3 , ZITENRY GLAZIER, the opposition candi date for Register and Recorder, is a very re spectable, honest and clever old gentleman, and because he is such, his political friends expect everybody to vote for him. J. B. Car others, the Democratic candidate for the same office, is a man Mr. G's equal in every res pect, but he is not nor never has been a Know Nothing, which gives Mr. G. some lit tle advantage in that circle of his peculiar friends. If Mr. C. should not be elected it will not be because he is not as competent to discharge the duties of the office, as honest or as worthy a man as Mr. G. We hope for Mr. C's success. COUIs.;TY COMMISSIONER.—This is one of the most impOrtant officers in the county, and the taxpayers should feel a lively interest in making a good selection. Thos. OznußN, the Democratic candidate, is an active busi ness man, and would make an economical County Commissioner. STILL TREY Co3ls.—We have received from T. P. Campbeli; Esq., several very fine to matoes, the largest (with but one exception) we have yet received. Also au extraordinary bunch of grapes. • We have also received from Mr. John Col der, one tomatoe weighing two and a half pounds good weight. Who can beat it. The gentlemen have our thanks.

Your falsehoods that Mr. Cald well has been a know nothing will make him votes he otherwise would not have received. The radical Democracy are right side up for Mr. Caldwell. Ire will make a most excel lent Prothonotary.

It con tains many interesting and valuable articles from able pens. ,The Doylestown Democrat says that the real Asiatic cholera has made its appear ance in the lower section of Bucks county.— In the vicinities of Falls, Morrisville, and Bristol townships, several persons have al ready died of the disease. SAX SUED IN KENTUCKY AND PLEADS lIE IS DEAD.—Yesterday a suit was tried in the Cir cuit Court of Campbell county, Kentucky, Judge Moore presiding, brought by Shipley Brothers, engravers, for seals engraved for the Know Nothing Grand Council of Ken tucky, and other Councils in that State. The action was against A. D. Smalley and Major Caldwell, who were the agents of the Council in ordering the seals. Ira Root and R. M. Webster appeared for the plaintiffs, and John W. Stevenson (recent ly elected Democratic member of Congress) for the Know Nothings. A large amount of correspondence between the litigants was read, all very affectionate, commencing "Dear Brother," and ending " Yours Fraternally." Mr. Stevenson, coun sel for the Know Nothings, contended that, as Sam was dead, the suit should be brought against the administrators of Sam's estate, and not against the defendants for $302 50. The original bill was for $350; the balance was interest. A National Thanksgiving Day. The suggestion contained in the following paragraph in the St. Louis Inlelligencer, r ill, we doubt not, meet with a hearty response from all sections of the country : A real millenium seems to be extended over the United States. To the boon of almost unexampled good crops, enjoying from the Northern Lakes to the Southern Gulf, and from the Atlantic to the prairies of the Kaw and the great Platte, and promising to enrich labor wherever it has applied its sturdy hand to the plough, we are permitted by a kind Providence to enjoy the priceless blessing of general health. Men. are not only furnished Za va lc, 41.11 U Weil S wrea iaru ers ; but they are also blessed with that abun dant health which permits the full enjoyment of the bounties of nature. Never have we bad such general national health. Never had we such uniform good crops. Never have we had such good prices of products. Never have we had such an amount of precious metals in our country— the basis of all sound commerce. In fine, never - before has the nation seemed more peaceful, happy and prosperous. It well be comes us to have one general Thanksgiving day, simultaneous throughout the Union,•'to acknowledge those accumulated and manifold blessings. A Tough Chicken Story. The Hartford Courant vouches for the truth of the following:—"A gentleman of Hart ford has a Bantam hen, which, at the time of the powerful rain on Sunday, Aug. 2, had been sitting on eight eggs two weeks. After the storm was nearly over, the nest was found under water, and the hen standing up in the nest, trying to cover the eggs. The eggs were taken to another nest, in another build ing, but the hen refused to cover them, and insisted upon occupying the box in the old coop. The eggs were left undisturbed from Sunday until the following Wednesday, when they were again placed under the hen, and in one week's time eight chickens were hatched out—four black and four white ones? and what is more singular, the white ones have the appearance of being constantly wet while the black ones appear natural. ME LONDON TIMES ON SLAVERY.—On the Ist of August— the anniversary of West India emancipation—when our American free negroes were celebrating the event and singing hosannahs to Queen Victoria, the Loudon limes used the following language: "The worthy men who extinguished sla very and ruined our West India possessions arc very touchy, very obstinate, very incon vertible on that tender point. It is not our business to deny them much justice and truth on their side, or to stand up fur the planters who took a line which repelled all reasonable advocacy. But, confessedly tak ing that grand summary view of the question which we cannot help taking after a quarter of a century, the process was a failure; it de stroyed an immense property, ruined thous ands of good jimilic,s, degraded the negroes still lower than they were and after alt, in creased the amass of slavery in less ulous hands. After many attempts at indirct dis couragement, we have been obliged at last to recognize and admit persistent slave own ers to an equal rank in our commerce. Ev erybody who comes fresh into the question, uncompromised and unbiased admits the fail ure, and asks why we did not attempt grad ual or spontaneous emancipation, if it was, indeed, utterly impossible -to improve the practide of slavery into something more like that we read of in sacred as well as classical antiquity. The more these questions are asked, and the more these• doubts abound, the more positive are the men of the past that they did right in their days, and they cannot be improved upon in our days." Where gold and silver dwell in the heart, faith, hope and love, are out of doors. —Danish. proverb. Seduction by a Clergyman The Trenton State Gazette of Monday re laths the particulars of a case of Seduction that occured in Burlington, New Jersey, on Friday last. The perpetrator of the crime was the Bev. Wm. Sutherland, a clergyman and a married man, and the victim a young lady only fifteen years of age, of a respecta ble family, and a member of his Church.— He had persuaded her to come to his house, (in the absence of his wife) under the pre tence of desiring her to assist several other young ladies of his congregation in arranging the books in his library. When she entered the library, she was surprised to find herself alone, but was prevailed upon to remain, and during her stay there, the libidinous scoundrel succeeded in accomplishing the poor girl's ruin. Great excitement was aroused amongst the people of Burlington, when the perpetration of the outrage became known, and the cleri cal hypocrite was obliged to flee for life. He succeeded in getting off. Had he been taken so high ran the public indignation, he would* most probably have been lynched. MORMONS FLEEING FROM SALT LAKE.—The Omaha Times, Nebraska, says that nineteen wagons, containing upwards of a hundred Mormons direct from Salt Lake, passed through that city last week, on their way back to the States. They have abjured the Mormon doctrine, as practiced in Utah, and express great dissatisfaction at the state of affairs in that country. They report having had great difficulty in getting out of the Mor mon Territory, being compelled to travel cau tiously from one settlement to another, and finally to seperate and leave in small bands to prevent suspicion and avoid the watchful spies of Brigham Young, General Packer. It is gratifying to observe the manner in which our candidate for Governor is received, on his visits to the various portions of the State. It is a very natural and ordinary thing that politicians should be enthusiastic in the immediate presence of their leader.— in General PACKER'S case, however, there is a degree of respect, perhaps we should say affection, for the person of the man, very rarely displayed. This is not surprising to those who. know him most intimately. Gen eral PACKER'S appearance, address and con versation would make a deep impressiN any= where. -He would be regarded by those who saw him for the first time, as a gentleman of cultivated manners and perfect knowledge of the world. A nearer approach would show him to be a man of frank, generous !and manly character, with nothing to conceal :either in his life or his sentiments; but those ;only who know him best, know to what an ;extent he is a man of close thought, whose 'opinions are made up for himself from actual experience and reflection, and with what spirit and eloquence he is capable of defend ing every conclusion which he has adop . t ed. • AS ti -Agri e l, wnvila , Kbevr— :Lli..n cratic -party lave been peculiarly fortunate in his selection. There is perhaps not a man in the State better informed on every ques tion which concerns her interests. His la bors as an editor and his services as a Sena tor and Representative, as Speaker of the House, as Auditor General, Canal Commis sioner, &c., have given him an amount of in formation on every subject of public concern not to be obtained from books, and not to be acquired short of a reasonably long life. He could, we will venture to say, give from memory the history, cost, advantages, and disadvantages of every canal and railroad improvement in Pennsylvania. In regula ting our banks and currency at different pe riods in the Commonwealth's history, he has taken a prominent and successful part. In protecting her manufacturing interests he has always been foremost, without advoca ting any principles injurious to the welfare of sister States. On the vexed question which his opponent has been discussing for ten years, in nearly the same speech, Gener al PACKER has at all times held the views en tertained by the great Democratic party of the Nation, now fast becoming the sentiment of all rational men. On the question of tem perance, an effort was made in the present campaign to create some excitement that might operate to the disadvantage of the par ty but it was found on investigation that al though exceedingly temperate in his life, General PACKER had simply said as a Sena tor that he was willing to abide by any de cision which the people by a vote might ren der on the subject of the sale of liquors.— No advocate of Democratic principles could have said less, and no honest man could have required more. In his intellectual accomplishments, Mr. PACKER has few superiors. He possesses as a writer a facility and readiness which can seldom be acquired out of an editor's chair. While he seems to form his opinions with' caution and with a regard to the severest ac curacy, his style of expressing them is clear natural and bold. As a speaker, he unites with a commanding presence And a copious flow of language, a quickness in bringing his resources to an attack or reply, which render him a most efficient advocate and a very formidable adversary. During his term in the Senate he took rank as one of the ablest debaters in that body. As the speaker of a deliberative assembly he was equally distinguished. Said a veteran politician sitting in the lobby during a stormy debate in the House over which General PACKER was president, "That man never had his equal as Speaker except in Henry Clay." As a legislator, he had another qual ity which in these times especially should not pass unnoticed. Every man knew him to be pure. A breath of suspicion never fell :upon his name. The thought never arose in any human breast that he had be trayed a trust or forfeited a confidence re posed in him. He has yet to exhibit these qualities in a higher sphere, and to that lie will be transferred by the popular will on the second Tuesday of October.—Penasylva nian. Yesterday our devil facetiously asked us " Why is the Republican party in this State like a field of wheat?" We gave it up, and he answered : "Because it will be thrash ed this fall."—Advertiser. And also should have added, that it is so full of rust and weevil that it is not worth thrashing.—Logan Gazette ) Old Line Whig. Mr. Buchanan and the Administration The political atmosphere is in an unusual state of calm. After the intense political ex citement of the past year growing out of the Kansas troubles, and the party and sectional animosity pervading all classes, dividing churches and families, arraying friend against friend, and brother against brother, during the roar and turmoil of the great presidential battle, we see all the excitable elements of the country subsiding into an usual state of quiet. There is a cause for this; a great and powerfnl cause. It arises from the confidence the great mass of the people have in the firmness, integrity, justice and moderation of the administration of • Mr. BUCUANAN. When popular frenzy was at its highest point during the presidential canvass, and the tide of fanaticism threatened to overthrow the Northern Democracy, that Democracy felt confident that if the result should be fav orable to Mr. BUCHANAN, he would succeed in allaying the fury of sectional agitation, and restore peace and confidence to the coun try. They were not disappointed. No soon er was it ascertained that Mr. Buena:sr:or was elected, than the tumult dwindled to a calm; public confidence was restored, sec tional jealousy allayed, Kansas tumults sub sided, and men congratulated one another that the country had escaped the impending danger of sectional strife and civil war. Having once tasted the blessings of a peaceful and harmonious administration of the General Government, the people refuse to be again made the material for professional agitators to work upon. In vain do the Re publican leaders seek to impress upon the minds of the people the idea that they have been outraged and trampled upon by the de cision of the Supreme Court in 016 Dred Scott case; they have no taste for abstrac tions: in vain does WILMOT traverse the State declaiming against the South and Southern aggressions; they have had enough of this kind of medicine. It has lost its power; it no longer excites and infuriates as it used to do. Calm the people want, and calm they will have from this slavery agitation, and this balm for the wounds of the State they find no where save in a generous reliance upon, and support of the administration of Mr. BUCHANAN in its efforts to give peace to the country and distracted Kansas, by the firm and equitable application of the doc trine that the majority must and shall gov ern. The country never evinced more confidence in an administration than it does in that of Mr. BUCHANAN. The circumstances under which he assumed the reigns of government were peculiar and not remarkably full of presages of peace. A bitter feeling existed between the majority of the North, and the ()Teat body of the south; a feelink , requiring tact and statemanship to allay. No ordinary hand at the helm of State could have effected as much as Mr. BUCHANAN has in four months of his official career. A less skillful vesselpilot m a i might d a t lviee d w iffi r e e c, u k l e t d i e s o b r y sltvihuinedheidt was surrounded; yet lie has restored public confi ...atisfiecl the great body of the country that he means what is right, knows what is just, and will execute with firmness. It was to be expected as., thv p
