DEIIOCE.ATIC COUNTY CONVENTION.
„Resolved, That the election of a State Delegate and Con
ferees to select a Senatorial Delegate to the next Demo
cratic State Convention, be postponed until the first week
of January Court next, and that this Convention adjourn
to meet again at that time, and that the Chairman issue a
call for the same at the proper time.
In accordance with the foregoing Resolution, passed by
the Democratic County Convention in August last, the
Delegates composing Said Convention, are requested to re
assemble at the Court House, in Huntingdon, on the even
ing of the second Wednesday of January next, for the pur
pose of transacting the business therein set forth, and
any other business that may be deemed necessary.
D. HOUTZ, Chairman.
The Post Office Organ Clique.
We shall not insult our readers by reply
ing to the mean, low, and self-debasing in
sinuations and assertions which are aimed at
us through the columns of the Post Office or
gan, further than to say that from the begin
ning to the end of all that the scribblers for
that filthy sheet have said reflecting upon our
political, as well as our moral character, there
is not the shadow of truth, and they know it.
But they make an insinuation in their last
paper which is plain enough to be understood
by us, as an assertion that we were of the
number who resisted the election of George
W. Speer. This assertion we cannot permit
to be made without giving it the attention it
deserves. We deny that we influenced one
solitary vote against Gen. Speer, unless it
was done by our inability to give one or two
personal friends positive assurances that we
would be fairly dealt with should the Gen
eral be successful. We had no other assur
ances than the General's word, which was
sufficient for us then, but may not have been
for others. But we are inclined to believe
now, (if the conduct of the General's interes
ted friends toward us since the election is to
be taken as exhibiting what Ms would have
been had he been successful,) that we would
have been justified in not only withholding
our vote from him, but in opposing him in
our columns, and with all voters personally,
whom we might have influenced. We would
gladly avoid bringing the General again be
fore the public, but the folly of those who
are nearer to him than we are, compells us,
in self-defence, to do so. How and by whom
was Gen. Speer defeated? We hope he has
not forgotten the caution we gave him. His
own assertions, and the assertions of those
who are now weekly disgracing the Demo
cratic party by their falsehoods and black
guardism put in circulation through Colon's
filthy sheet, defeated him. Bruce Petriken,
thing despised by all Democrats having any
respect for their party, electioneered against
Speer, by stating confidentially to those he
thought he could influence, that he was to be
his (Speer's, lawyer, if elected. When the
General was informed of what Bruce had
said-, he made his case no better, by asserting
positively, that his brother, R. Milton, not
then of age nor admitted to practice, was to
be his lawyer ! The best man in the county
carrying such a load, could not have expected
to succeed, unless he was blind to public sen
timent, and if it had been generally known
throughout the county that either Bruce or
the boy Milton, or both, were to be Speer's
legal advisers, he would have been defeated
'by at least a thousand votes instead of fifty
six. Who in the county would not rather be
burnt out than to fall into the hands of a
Sherif advised by such lawyers ? With such
lawyers the Sheriff's Office would have been
a disgrace to the party and the county. Bu t
enough voters heard in time of what were to
be the arrangements, to prevent the disgrace.
We might give some other reasons why all
the Democrats did not vote for Geo. W. Speer,
but for the present we forbear.
"It comes with a bad grace for Wm. Lewis to complain
of papers being sent unpaid to persons who are not sub
scribers. Ile has been playing that game over since The
Union was started. We have received three copies of the
Globe marked refused, If Lewis deny this, we will pub
lish the names of the persons who returned them"—
,Post Office Organ, alias The Union, alias The Bald Hornet,
We deny that we have sent the Globe, post
age unpaid, to any person not a subscriber.
We wait until our paper is subscribed for be
fore we send it to any man. We have never
yet forced our paper upon any family. That
you have received Globes marked refused, may
be true ; and the question arises as to your
right to keep them. If they were directed to
your office in mistake you should have acted
the part of a gentleman and returned them
to the Post Office as soon as you discovered
the mistake. They were of as much impor
tance to us as if they had been letters from
Post Masters or the persons refusing the pa
pers—and there was as much criminality in
keeping the papers as there would be in keep
ing letters containing money, for they were
of value to us, and may be so still. But you
have kept the papers, denying us the right
to know which of our subscribers refuse to
lift them. And Wm. Colon, the Post Mas
ter, after being informed of your meanness,
Chips.
if not dishonesty, coolly replies that you got
them by mistake, but makes no effort to re
cover them and have them placed where• we
have a right to expect to receive our mail
matter. But, in these times of Buchafia,nism,
and the honesty of at least ono of his office
holders and his minions, we may be very
thankful that more of our mail matter does
not get into other hands than our own, by
mistake. -As we cannot get the papers, will
the editors of that sheet oblige us by pub
lishing the name or names of the person or
persons who returned our papers to their office ?
Wrn. Lewis has the impudence to assert that he is
"independent of leaders," and to arrogate to himself the
control of the Democracy of this county."—Post Office or
gan.
A glorious privilege we have, of being " in
dependent of leaders." It is our indepen
dence that has brought about the difficulty
between your masters and ourself. Had we
obeyed orders from Washington, the Big
Yank would not have had an opportunity
here of defrauding the Department out of
three cents at a time by using franked envel
opes for his private business letters, and cir
culating his filthy sheet free of postage to
persons not bona fide subscribers. Control
the Democracy of the county ! What non
sense. We hope the Democracy of the coun
ty are made of better stuff than to be control
led by any man. The men of the party have
rights—they can refuse to support a bad
nomination, or a bad Administration, and
still be Democrats. We can do the same,
and will—but in doing so we do not arrogate
to ourself the control of our party.
r Our " feeders" will take notice that
David R. Porter has discontinued his sub
scription to the Globe and has left for Texas
with $25 50 of our money, due us for sub
scription. There are two or three other such
Democrats in this borough, tarred with the
same stick', who would confer a favor upon
us by either paying up or returning the Globe
to this office, marked refused ! And these
men and their kind have for years attempted
to control our press and the Democratic par
ty of the county, and because they haye not
been able to do either, they have made it a
point to injure us in every way possible.—
They may succeed in cheating us but they
cannot starve us out. Porter's bill is for sale
to the highest and best bidder.
13;ec' The Post Office organ clique, with
Wm . . Colon at its head, are a pretty party to
talk about the honesty of any man.- Could
the people see him as he sees himself, they
would unanimously (his clique excepted) pe
tition the Department for his removal. But
he is " in" and it is very doubtful whether
the present Administration would remove
him even should he be guilty of counterfeit-.
ing three cent stamps, an act not more dis-*
honest than using franked envelopes or cir
culating his organ contrary to law and the In
structions of the Department.
)3'..Two weeks ago we. stated upon the
strength of information received, that R. Mil_
ton Speer had made a proposition to a Re
publican to go into partnership with him in
the purchase and conducting of a Republican
sheet. We have since been informed by the
same gentleman, that he was in error and
that the paper offered for sale was Democratic.
We take pleasure in making this correction,
and hope R. Milton may now breathe freer and
easier.
HEAPING lioNons UPON us.—We learn from
the last Post Office organ that some years ago
we were very near being, made a State Sena
tor. Our consent was all that was necessary.
If we had possessed the impudence and van
ity-of an R. Bruce, an R. Milton, or a Wm.
Colon, we might have been at least a "little
member" before this. When will they have
an offer to become somebody?
Some weeks ago, when we expressed
a doubt as to the honesty of the Post Office
organ clique towards us, we had no idea they
would, so soon, by their own confession,
prove themselves guilty of detaining our mail
matter. Perhaps we may soon hear some
thing of that money we did not get. Not
"double teaming" us, eh?
zeD:. The Post Office Organ of last week
makes a number of silly charges and closes
with the following:—
.(Or• " We charge that Wm. Lewis Dear. N'Or DENT MESE
CIIAILGES."
Our only answer is that every charge is a
LIE.
Vir We did spend five dollars on election
day, and we only regret that we threw more
than the half of it away on R. Milton and
Bruce. They were jovial good fellows as
long as the V lasted. They don't come the
`sponge' game over us again.

money and the honest wish of the people scorned and
ontraged.—.P. 0. Organ.

PENN'A. LEGISLATURE.—The Legislature
will assemble on Tuesday next. Both Houses
are Republican and we anticipate but little
trouble or delay in their organization. We
hear of several gentlemen from this county
who will be applicants for Clerkships and
and other honorable posts. A. W. Benedict,
Esq., would make a most excellent Chief
Clerk, and as the Opposition must have the
man, we hope be may be successful.
Sound Opinions.
The Louisville Democrat, always conserva
tive, sound and judicious, whenever a ques
tion of any import arises in the country, is
treating the Abolition and the Southern se
cession agitators in its usual sensible way.—
The following is a comment on the declara
tion of Senator Iverson, of Georgia, made in
a late speech, that if a Black Republican
Speaker should be elected by the house, he
would advise that the Southern members with
draw in a body and let the Union be dissolved!
On this the remarks are :
" That a gentleman who thinks that the
election of a Republican as Speaker of the
House would be sufficient cause for dissolving
the Union, should be opposed to Judge Doug
las, is, not surprising. The doctrine of non
intervention, upon which Douglas has staked
his political fortune, is the only doctrine
concerning slavery which has supporters both
in the North and South. If the Democracy
of the North and South can not unite upon
that doctrine they can not unite at all.—
If the Union can not be maintained by that
doctrine, it can not be maintained at all.—
The establishment of that doctrine by the
election of Judge Douglas to the Presidency
would settle the slavery question upon a ba
sis which would render it impossible for either
Northern or Southern disorganizers seriously
to disturb the harmony of the country. This
is well known by the Southern Disunionists.
Hence their hostility to Stephen A. Douglas.
They are against him because they are against
the Union. They are for Congressional inter
vention because they are for disunion."
ftZsc. The Southern Opposition and inde
pendent newspapers are beginning to speak
out boldly against the disunion clamors.—
The Richmond (Va.) News, for example, says
that if either 'Wise or Hunter can see the
way to a nomination for the Presidency, we
will hear no more threats of disunion, and
that no man of any sense believes that such
an event as the dissolution of the Union is
likely to happen. Says the News:
"He who professes to have deliberately
weighed the consequences to Virgina alone
of a dissolution of this Constitution—viewed
even in its consequences to Virginia, and her
slave property, and her other material inter
ests—and professes to desire disunion, is a
conceited simpleton, or an empty blockhead,
or something worse than either.
"Of all the States of this Union, it is de
monstrable, even as to her slave interests,
that there is no State in this Union thai_would
gain so little and endure so much by, dis
union, as this glorious old State. Cann de
liberate, and pains-taking and informed re
flection, will satisfy any impartial mind that
upon the theories—we mean the commercial,
and financial, and manufacturing theories of
that school who advocate disunion—Virginia
would find no place, have no interest, and
possess no voice in a purely Southern con
federacy."
Douglas in Ohio.
The Cleveland Plaindealer, in an article
on the impotency of the press and of political
parsons when arrayed against public opinion,
says :
" There is quite too much freedom in the
world to allow error any permanent foothold,
however loudly preached or strongly advoca
ted. An evidence of the former was plainly
visible in the last Presidential election when
thirty five hundred Clergymen entered the
field of politics and in the name of God pro
claimed themselves expounders of His will
in regard to that political event. A most
striking illustration of newspaper impotency
has just been witnessed in this State. In the
Columbiana, Jefferson and Carroll District,
the Democratic papers in the District, five in
number have supported Mr. Buchanan's views
on Lecompton and opposed Senator Douglas,
yet at the late District Convention to. choose
Delegates to Charleston, the people converts
to " Popular Sovereignty," in the face and
eyes of all the papers and preachers elected
two Douglas men to represent them in the
National Convention. In the Holmes, Knox,
Coshocton and Tuscarawas District, papers
in three out of the four counties were opposed
to Douglas, two out and out Douglas and Pop
ular Sovereignty Delegates were chosen. In
the Stark, Summit, and Portage District,
where all the papers save one, sung peans to
" Old Buck" and his Lecompton policy, two
more rebel Dauglas men were elected. Many
more as marked instances might be quoted,
but enough. Suffice it to say, that the influ
ence of all the Lecompton papers in the State
combined—with all the o f ficial patronage of
this Administration has not been su f ficient to
send a single anti-Douglas Delegate to the
Charleston Convention! Let all partizan
preachers, sapient editors, and political trim
mers and pap-suckers, take warning, and in
the future go for principle and with the peo
ple, if they would be successful and have
their days long and honored upon the earth."
HON. JACOB Far.—Th e Mercer Press speak
ing in reference to the Gubernatorial elec
tion now rapidly approaching says :
" Hon. Jacob Fry has given permission to
his friends to use his name as a candidate for
nomination for Governor at the next Demo
cratic State Convention. Mr. Fry is the present
Auditor General of the State, which laborious
and important office he has filled with credit
to himself and profit to the Commonwealth.
" His name is a synonym for integrity, and
Francis R. Shunk himself had not a more
unsullied private and political character than
Mr. Fry. He would make a strong candi
date."
Jar. In the Senate of South Carolina the
following resolution was read and seriously
discussed:
" Resolved, That this Legislature deems it
inexpedient to enter into any caucus or Con
vention with any non-slaveholding States for
the purpose of nominating candidates for the
Presidency and Vice Presidency of the Uni
ted States."
The New York Union Meeting.
GENERAL SCOTT NOMINATED FOR PRESIDENT.
NEW YORK, Dec. 19.—The Union meeting
to-night, attracted an immense throng, which
not only filled the Academy, but all its ap
proaches, and the street in front was densely
packed. The number present is estimated at
thirty thousand. The resolutions adopted
nominated General Winfield Scott for Presi
dent.
At the meeting within the Academy, Mayor
Tiernan presided, assisted by about two hun
dred vice presidents and secretaries.
Among the vice presidents were Wm. B.
Astor, Wm. Aspinwall, James Brown and
others.
Numerous delegations represented the va
rious sections of the State.
Rev. Dr. Vermilyea opened the meeting
with prayer.
Ex-Senator Beekman stated the object of
the meeting.
Letters of endorsement were read from ex-
President Franklin Pierce, Daniel S.jpickin
son, Esq., Hon. Fernando Wood, an Lieu
tenant General Winfield Scott. The last
name was greeted with much enthusiasm.
Speeches were made by Charles O'Connor,
Esq., ex-Senator John A. Dix, Hon. Wash
ington Hunt, and others.
In order to accommodate the immense
throng, three stands were erected outside of
the Academy building ; from which the meet
ings were addressed by Coroner Connery, ex-
Judge Dean, and others.
Mr. O'Connor's remarks were to the pur
port that the South was not to be censured if
she withdraws from her present association
with the North.
Mr. J. W. Savage, nominated—
Lieutenant General Winfield Scott for Presi
dent,
General Sam Houston for Vice President,
at each of the outside meetings, and the nom
inations were carried amidst the plaudits of
the multitude.
The resolutions read as follows :
Therefore, be it resolved, That the Union
thus formed, constituting, as it does, the
closest, most delicate, and important relation
that can exist between communities of people,
demands from each part a warm and earnest
consideration for the safety, prosperity, and
happiness of the other, and that woatever
policy tends to subvert this end, is hosale to
the true spirit of the compact.
Resolved, That the constitution, the treaties,
the laws of the United States, and the judi
cial decisions thereupon, recognize the insti
tution of slavery as legally existing, and that
it is our duty, as good citizens of a common
Government, in good faith to stand by that
Constitution, those treaties, those laws, and
the decision of that final arbiter of all dis
puted points—the Supreme Court of the Uni
ted States.
Resolved, That inasmuch as the proceed
ings of the Convention which framed the
Constitution were brought to a stand, as ap
pears by the declaration of Roger Sherman,
(one of its most distinguished authors,) until
a compromise was agreed to on the various
propositions relating to domestic slavery,
which compromise embraced :
A restriction on the power to prevent the
importation of slaves prior to 1808 ;
A provision binding on each State and upon
the Union to surrender fugitives from ser
vice ;
A representation in Congress founded, in
part, of three-fifths of the slave population ;
And other guarantees for the protection of
slave property :
" That we protest against, and denounce
as contrary to the plighted faith on which the
Constitution was established, all acts or in
flammatory appeals which tend to make this
Union less perfect, or to jeopard or disturb its
domestic tranquility, or to mar the spirit of
harmony, compromise, and concession upon
which the Union was formed by our fathers.
" That we regard the recent outrage at
Harper's Ferry as a crime, not only against
the State of Virginia, but against the Union
itself, and we approve of the firmness by
which the treason has been duly punished.
" That, in our opinion, the subject of sla
very has been too long mingled with party
politics, and as the result has been the crea
tion of sectional parties, contrary to the ad
vice, letter, and spirit of the farewell address
of the father of our common country, that,
therefore, it is the duty of farmers, planters,
manufactures, merchants, mechanics, and of
every citizen, North, South, East, and West,
to discountenance all parties and organiza
tions that thus violate the spirit of the Con
stitution, and advice. of Washington.
RETURNED TO HER MASTER.-A Case for
Abolitionists.—The Washington correspon
dent of the New York Times, telegraphs
Mr. Giddings, a gentleman from Texas,
who is now stopping at the National Hotel
was surprised yesterday at the return of his
servant Jane, who was taken from him by
force while be was making a visit to Niagara
Falls last July. The girl gives a deplorable
account of her ill-treatment by the Canadian
free negroes. The marks upon her body
show that she has received severe whippings.
Eluding her captors, she reached the Ameri
can side of the river, where she procured the
means necessary to enable her to reach her
master. She expresses great joy at her re
turn home. The - circumstances of her seiz
ure were extensively noticed in the Northern
journals at the time when it occurred.
" Resolved, That we are profoundly
attached to the Constitution of the United
States; that we honor and cherish it as the pal
ladium of our liberties, and as a just, wise,
and liberal basis for the continued and per
petual Union of the States."
The above is one of the resolutions unani
mously adopted at a recent meeting of the
people held in Clarkesburg, Virginia. A res
olution looking to a possible dissolution of
the Union was so successfully opposed by the
Hon. John S. Carlisle, formerly a member of
Congress from that district, as to lead to its
withdrawal. So may ever fare all such trai
torous movements ! We believe, this day,
that Virginia would rebuke a proposition for
disunion, fifteen to one, if it were submitted
to a popular vote.—Baltimore Patriot.
A SHREWD POLITICIAN.-A Democrat liv
ing in a closely contested District in one of
the counties of Wisconsin, and who is the
owner of an extensive lead mine at Shuns
burg, was a candidate for the Legislature at
the last election day, he hired 53 Republi
cans to work in his mine ; after he had them
all 130 feet below the surface, the ladder was
drawn up to have some new rounds put in it,
and he neglected to return it till the polls
were closed, which resulted in his election
by 52 majority. That fellow deserves to be
sent to Congress. Genius, such as he dis
played in the above instance, would soon
bring about an organization.
Who are Responsible ?
There could no greater evil befall our Re
public than a division of its citizens into bit
terly hostile political organizations of section
al character, rending the government into dis
tinct -peoples, and making the different geo
graphical divisions even more hostile towards
oneanother than if they were natural enemies.
Such is nearly our present condition. The
approximation is, indeed, no close, that a few
steps further,in advance must result in actual
armed conflict; and who can contemplate
without feelings of horror and dismay the
woes in store for us all, in our domestic as
well as our national relations, if blood shall
once be shed in civil strife ?
There was a time, in the purer days of the
Republic, when the citizens who uttered the
word disunion, except to execrate it, was
looked upon as a traitor ; but now, so differ
ent are we from our fathers, that the dissolu
tion of the ties which bind us together as
States in unity, is not only spoken of as pos
sible, but keenly advocated by many politi
cians, South and East as desirable. The
Eastern fanatic who can not by a breath, or
the dash of a pen, abolish or circumscribe
the institutions of slavery, impelled by the
fury of madness, flies at once to the idea of
disunion, as a panacea for the evil which he
cannot otherwise reach, and reach only in that
way by subsequent civil war. The Southern
fanatic, equally wild, bolder than his East
ern rival, and even more reckless of conse
quences, because he cannot overleap the bar
riers of the Constitution, and make slavery
national, shouts for disunion, and appears to
revel in the anticipation of that abundant
harvest of blood, ruin, and misery which a
civil war, such as must follow disunion, would
inevitably yield.
In times like these, so full of evil patents,
when the priceless legacy which our fathers
gave us, is in danger of being snatched from
our grasp by the rude hands of traitors, it be
comes the duty of patriotic men, whether
they occupy lofty or humble positions, to
trace the cause of the evil to its source, and
apply, if possible, a. remedy. 'Whatever that
remedy may be, so that it be constitutional,
we hold ourselves ready to approve and aid
in enforcing.
We presume that none will deny that ne
gro slavery is the cause—ostensibly at least
—of the troubles which are upon us, and the
great danger with which we are threatened.
Why it should be, is what we can not clearly
understand. Under our admirable Constitu
tion each State being independent of its sis
ter States and of the Federal Government in
its purely domestic affairs, none but its own
citizens are responsible for its pecular laws
or institutions. If South Carolina, in the
exercise of her clear constitutional rights,
should enact the code of Draco for the gov
ernment of her own citizens, the Saints of
New England, who boast of their Puritan
descent, and who seem to have inherited,
along with the virtues of their fathers, their
accursed bigotry, would not be answerable,
either here or hereafter, for the innocent
blood that might be shed under that code.—
So neither are they accountable fur the sin—
if sin it be—of the institution of slavery,
which exists under the local laws of the
Southern States. Any interference, there
fore, on their part, is not only improper, but
is a palpable violation of the Constitution,
the great bond of our glorious Union, the
only security we have for that rational liber
ty and unexampled prosperity which we en
joy as a people. This consideration should
bind the Northern States, to non-intervention
and non-interference. If they do not observe
these faithfully, they are untrue to their con
stitutional obligations, devoid of patriotism,
and unmindful of the duties of good citizen
ship. And what of the South ? Are not the
States where slavery exists as firmly held by
the provisions of the Constitution as the non
slaveholding States ? They can not justly
claim or exercise any right or privilege, which
is not granted by the Constitution. And yet
they do. They have gone on step by step
from one preposterous claim to another, until
now they refuse to be satisfied with any re
cognition of their '° peculiar institution" short
of its nationality. They base their absurd
pretensions upon an alleged decision of the
Supreme Court which has never been made ;
they claim that a constitutional obligation
rests upon Congress to recognize and protect
the institution in organized Territories of the
United States in defiance of local legislation,
but deny its authority to abolish it in those
territories. They urge the ridiculous preten
sion that Congress must legislate for, but
dare not legislate against slavery. Indeed,
so wild have they become in their enthusiasm
for slavery, so bold and lawless, that in Mis
sissippi prominent citizens have publicly
banded together and raised funds to re-open
the African slave trade which, under the laws
of Congress, is PIRACY. Negroes have really
been brought direct from Africa and landed
and sold into slavery in South Carolina and
Georgia ; and when we inquire why those
who bring in these human cargoes and those
who purchase them are not punished, 'we are
coolly told that " public sentiment is above
the law, and where that is the case punish
ment can not be inflicted." We might go on
enumerating wrongs on both sides—but the
task is unplasant. An impartial considera
tion of all the facts will show clearly that
the fanatics North and South are alike crim
inal ; and every unbiassed mind will agree
with us that nothing short of a general de
nunciation of the guilty, without regard to
section, and a united effort of the national,
Constitution and law-abiding citizens of all
sections, under one banner as broad as the
Union itself, can quell the canting hypocrites
of the North or fiery zealots of the South,
whose hands are now raised against the peace
and unity of the Republic.
We profess to believe that, bad the com
promise of 1850 and 1854 been honestly ad
hered to, there would now be no trouble. It
was the breach of those compromises, for
which we hold the South and the National
Administration and its Northern adherents
accountable, that plunged us into the troubles
from which we are now endeavoring to
emerge, and brought up again the "irrepres
sible" negro, from the obscurity into which
the legislation of 1850 and 1854 was designed
to plunge him. We are suffering now for a
sin against principle and patriotism—a sin
which a weak old man, frightened by a few
bold Southern fire-eaters, committed at the
very outset of his Administration—and if the
curse is not soon removed, through repen
tance and a return to sound doctrines, no
party action, no efforts of men,
nothing short
of a special interposition of Divine Provi
dence can rescue and preserve us—for, though
the Union may not be immediately severed,
it will be a Union without fraternity, dis
turbed by angry passions and lawless acts
on one side or the other of a geographical
line, keeping us in constant turmoil, and ren
dering us contemptible in the eyes of the civ

ANOTHER TRIUMPH!
Philadelphia, Sept. 20, 1859
TO THE PRESIDENT OF THE PENNSYLVANIA AGRICULTURAL
SOCIETY :—The anbscribers, your committee to examine the
contents of a Salamander Safe, of Evans & Watson, after
being exposed to a strong tire on the Fair Grounds for eight
hours, respectfully represerit—
That after seven cords of oak wood and three of pine
had been consumed around the Safe, it was opened in the
presence of the committee, and the contents taken out, a
little warmed, but not even scorched.
Several Silver Medals heretofore received by the manu
facturers, and a large quantity of documents were in tho
Safe, and came out entirely uninjured.
The experiment satisfied us of the capacity of Safes of
this kind to protect contents from any fire to which they
may be exposed.
The Committee awarded a Diploma and Silver Medal.

WILMINGTON, Del., Sept.l7,lBs9.—Messrs. EVANS & WAT
SON, Philadelphia.
Gentlemen :—The Salamander Fire-Proof Safe of your
manufacture, purchased by us from your Agent, Ferris &
Garrett, of our city, some nine months ago, was severely
tried by burglars last Saturday night, and although they
bad a sledge hammer, cold chisels, drill and gunpowder,
they did not succeed in opening the Safe. The lock being
one of "Hall's Patent Powder-proof," they could not get
the powder into it, but drilled a hole in the lower panel
and forced in a large charge, which was ignited, and al
though the door, inside and out, showed the explosion not
to have beer a small one, it was not forced open. We sup
pose they were the greater part of the night at work on
it. We are much gratified at the result of the attempt to
enter it, and if the above facts are of any service, you aro
at liberty to use them. Yours, truly,
BAYNAIID & JONES.
GREAT FIRE!—ANOTHER TRIUMPH!!
KNOXVILLE. Tennessee, March 13th, 1859.
Messrs. EVANS & WATSON, Philadelphia:
Gentlemen—lt affords me great pleasure to say to you
that the Salatuander Safe which I purchased of you in
February, 1858, proved to be what you recommended it—
a sure protection from fire. My storehouse, together with
several others, was burned to the ground in March last.—
The Safe fell through into the cellar, and was exposed to
intense heat for six or eight hours, and when it was taken
from the ruins and opened, all its contents where found to
bo in a perfect state, the books and the papers not being
injured any whatever. I can cheerfully recommend your
Sales to the community. believing, as I do, that they are
as near fire-proof as it is possible for any Safe to be made.
