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

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.

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

full of rust and weevil that it is not worth

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<alt;e;aus who
live upon prejudice and excitement would
not be satisfied, because it is impossible to
satisfy them. The GREELEY'S, the SEIVARDS
and the Witaiors of the North, and the
KEITTS and ATCHISON'S of the South are not
to be appeased, because they are unappeasa
ble. Everything or nothing is their motto,
and of course nothing must be their portion.
The administration turned a deaf ear to their
railing and reviling, and by pursuing the
golden mean between their extreme views,
has established itself firmly in the great
heart of the Nation—and by the Nation we
mean national men all over the country.
The construction of his cabinet was the
first earnest Mr. BUCHANAN gave of the
course he meant to pursue. By selecting
truly National men, and discarding those
who would lend favor and influence to the ex
tremists on either side, he assumed a position
upon which he was impregnable, beside se
curing the advice and support of Statesmen
who could second his efforts for the welfare
of the whole country, instead of plotting
against them. The people felt the force of
this truth, and as soon as the Cabinet was
announced a general feeling of satisfaction
pervaded all classes of society.
The country has already shown its deter
mination to give to this administration a
hearty and generous support by electing a
majority of its friends to the next Congress,
where the Democratic majority will be at
least twenty. With this substantial majority
of National Democrats in the House, so late
ly disgraced by the corruption and political
profligacy of Republican rule, to support the
administration, and with Governor WALKER
in Kansas to give practical efficiency to the
act organizing that Territory, we have every
reason to believe that the slavery question, so
productive of pure, unmixed, evil, will be
finally settled. This once accomplished all
that could be hoped from Mr. BUCHANAN will
be realized, and his administration will be
entitled to the gratitude and admiration
which we delight to bestow upon that of
MAnisoN and of JACKSON.
MR. WILMOT ON HIS WINDING War.—Mr.
Wilmot is making speeches to his friends,
and shows a good deal of unnecessary indus
try this warm weather. We sympathize
with him. The labor he is undergoing how
ever, is what may be called a sacrifice to con
sistency. He is compelled to all this dull
drudgery by his challenge to General Packer.
Having failed to get the General to consent
to quarrel and dispute with him all over the
State, he is bound to make his own asserva
tions good, and to show the people that, if
the Democratic candidate won't join him in
stirring the bitter waters of discontent, ho
must do it himself. Mr. Wilmot has a her
culean task before him, and a thankless one;
but having pledged himself to it he must
even go through with it. This is the penance
a man sometimes pays for a hasty act. Had
Mr. Wilmot borne his nomination quietly,
and put it away in his desk as a memento of
his standing with his fellow citizens, instead
of getting into a heat, and trying an experi
ment upon his competitor, ho would have
taken his defeat as a lazy man takes ii lazy
nap on a warm afternoon.—Press.
