The Democratic Republicans of Cumberland fcodnty are requested to meet at the Court House in the Borougli r of .Carlisle, on Monday evening, v.ie 10th of August next,’(Court Week,) at early •\andle light, to adopt-lho necessary preparatory ensuring the triumphant successor l\o Democracy of old Mother Cumberland at the pikuinn- elections. A general attendance is .desi re. ° , May, 21, 18-10. -“.1 ShieJckultler” is hold in rcserve.for future op orations. Next week we shall publish the letter of Gen.

A LIBERTY POLE was erected at Centrcville' on Saturday lnst. ;> The assemblage of Democrats was large and highly respectable, and .th(Mitm,pst enthusiasm prevailed.' Alter' the pole was erect .cjl/the.meeting, was ably and eloquently address t*d by*-tho Hon. Charles M’CikißE,, whose re marks were responded to by three cheers from the whole-company. Subsequently, the meeting unan imously passed resolutions approving of tlie nom ination of Martin Van Burefi & Richard J\l, John son. ANOTHER was erected on the same day in North Middleton, cn the land of Geo. Wise, Esq. A respectable number of Democrats were also in attendance there—and the meeting was aUdressed by Mr. .1. C. Weidlev. .The motto on their flag is, “Flrn Uuren and Johnson against the World." Old Democratic North Middleton is safe for 120 majority! ' We understand tlie Liberty Pole erected at Mount Rock, on the Ifith inst., was cut down on Saturday night last. This is the second time the minions of Federalism in that Federal township, havo had the base hnrdihood to trample upon the rights of their democratic follow citizens—and must satisfy every one that, if they had the power, they would disfranchise the republican portion of the community, as well as cut down their Inno cent emblems of Liberty. We verily believe that any man or set of men who would intrude upon the premises of their neighbor, in the silent hour of midnight, to cut down ii pole, would not he too good to enter his shccpfold or fion-roost to pilfer the contents. <• ’ Wc hifte buta word to any in reply to the Her ald'.

Ego has como out with another certificate, which makes the third ono he has perpetrated through the columns of the Herald within the last fouryears. The first ono was given conjointly with that pirik of purity,. honest John was designed to ope rate against Colonel McClure’s i lection to Con gress—hut it was'“no go.” The second made its' appearance during the memorable ‘Buckshot War,’ ih which Maj. Ego tried to make the people bolie\ f o he was “shof at and missed” in the; streets of Harrisburg, by loco foco butcher —but the people did not bclievo him that time cither; for they know lie was easily frightened after night, and it is generally thought that some wicked boys were engaged in shooting off pup gupa, ono of, which caused his trepidation .and alarm! ' ' But the third certificate is the best joke of all, and it really excited.our risible faculties no little when we read it. This magic production, which is "designed to' prove „lh at Daniel Webster hover delivered a Sunday speech, made its appearance IfffluTlasl wcelt T s Herald. But alas! an<Tlack-a day, fur our friend—his former certificates were discovered to bo so silly and groundless, that no body can be coaxed to believe the present one— particularly as it is well known that hard cider was very plenty atßaltimorc, and it is equally well known that “Gal” -never throws a good chance over his shoulder; therefore it is concluded that some folks might have been in that.state of “glorious felicity” which prevented them from see ing every thing that took place on lhaf“intercsting occasion.” It is also alleged by some that Web ster’s speech was. delivered during the time our hero was arranging iho preliminaries of a duel (the pistols.to*bo charged with salfdissolved in hard cider) with a huge Kentuckian." But there arc still others who are of opinion that it took platic just at the time our friend returned from Washing ton, when ho was otherwise engaged wilh'a- gdri lleman who had sent him tx polite note of invitation with a request to accompany the bearer down street! Now, we’re not prepared to state- positively whether any of the above surmises are correct, or whether Mr. Webster made the speech in question or not. All wo can state is, that wc received the information from a paper published in Baltimore, whose editor don’t belong to the hard cider party, and whoiri we never knew to be guilty of publish ing a falsehood—and it is for the public to judge whether our informant or Maj. E. comes nearest tho truth, • - But lest tho-Major should still be diaposed-to question 9 lir veracity, wc here subjoin the article upon .which wc founded the chbrgo against Mt- AVebstcr: •* - . •• ------- - ‘ “There are no Sabbaths in Revolutionary times!"— Daniel Webster . True to .himself and true to the spirit with which tho “Godlike” in 1-83-i desecrated the holy Sab bath by a political speech from Barnum’s stcps,_ j ho again on Sunday, while bur churches were fill ed with devout worshippers, made a party address at Barnum’s amid the boisterous applause of his ‘all the religious’juidiencc. And yet this is the party who,guilty, recklessly guilty of tho gross est violalions\of morality, daro openly to outrage all consistency by setting up a hypocritical pro scription against a truly pious divine merely for entertaining political opinions favorable lotheGc m/ral Administration, and who at the same lime, give out formal invitation in their presses to min isters of the gospel to join in their humbug pro-- cession. Such profligacy is characteristic of the opposition, and should not go unmarked by all right fedling.and well judging people. —Baltimore Rfj)ublica?i. ‘ Belief to Laborers. —The President some lime. | ago established the ten hour system among the laborers on tl|c public worlds. This gives them a few hours of day-light for relaxation, or to attend to*the.business of their families. Now this we conceive to be all right and proper,, and the Presi dent deserves great praise Tor his humane and be nevolent intentions; but it is somewhat remarkable that the identical Blue Light Federal clan in the North, who have been pretending so much sympa thy for the laborers in their employ, and who have shed many crocodile tears at their hard lot, attack Mr. Van f ßuren for diminishing the hours of those engaged in the public employ., A leading Federal print, the Boston Daily Advertiser, says on this subject:.' “This is making A SERIOUS INROAD UP ON TIIELONQ ESTABLISHED HABITS OF THE INDUSTRIOUS PORTIONS OF OUR COMMUNITY, ft appears to us NOT j VERY J UDICIOUS, and certainly not very eco nomical, for the President of the United States, by his judicial authority, to introduce such a change in the usages of the country.” ** 'lVWiam M.

This- groat' island is separated from the main land by a strait from 3 to lOrniles wide, run ning from S. 13. to N. W., and connecting the Gulf of Boothia with the Northern Ocean. ; IVfto reduce the iMhorihg Men's Wages'. —-The Democratic Herald says *:' “Scarcely three weeks' ago the proprietor of an extensive iron establish ment, located not .far from Sweetsor’a Bridge, Anno ■Arundel co. Md.,'paid a visit to his, ore mines, and ordered all his' overseers to reduce 'the wages, of the laborers in their employ from 87J to C2i cte. per day. - What was the consequence of’this oV der? Why,, the Democratic: oVeraeejp resigned their trusts beTorO they.woqld deal thus with, the laborers, and the operations of this federal capitalist; are confided to,federalists who will’carry but hie plan's.^These • statements ate facts—ffacts which cannot bo denied, y , ' : Vy . Hard Times .—This is a fruitful-theme for disc lamation in the mouth'of every federal lounger in this borough, some of whom ure revelling in lux ury. audoUiers stfoljingj)bout_claily.from tavern and from thence to tho log cabin to got a swig of the hard eider, which we.presumo is kept them constantly* You hear these idle, worthless drones in society eternally prating about “hard limes”—making it tho burden of their song from morning to night, and charging tho Administration with being the cause. They assert that mechanics and laboring men ore idle and their families star ving for want of employment, and that all this re sults from the measures of the Administration. .* But what are the facts of the case? Is it not un fortunate for these federal croakers that the people have eyes and ears to sec arid hear for themselves, and are thereby enabled tp know that tho allega tion is false. ‘ls it not a'fact that our mechanics and laboring men are generally employed, (we mean those, who wish to be "industrious,) and at prices’ for their labor very nearly if not altogether as high os'they ever received; and this too at a time when, owing to the abundance of the crops, the cost of maintaining themselves and their families is reduced nearly one-half! But if the assertions of the Federalists wore true, (which every body knows arq.not so,) those who generally attend their.meetings, with log cabins, drinking hard cider, and spending their lime in j idleness and dissipation, cannot belong to the mass of tho mechanical and laboring classes—ns men oppressed with hard times such os they tell us exist, would hardly be able to be so lavish of their money as tho Hard Cideriles have been.— And agaim If the Federalist really believed their own assertions .about hard times, and entertained so much regard" as they profess for mechanics, la borers, and pbor men generally, they would cer tainly have displayed'that regard for them.much better by applying {flcir spare funds to relieving their distresses and supplying tho'wants of their destitute families, than in the erection of log cab ins, and in guzzling hard cider. The truth is, they know the silly assertions they make are wickedly and maliciously falser—and their lying allegations ami ridiculous displays are a direct insult to the 'intelligence and feelings of all poor men, and particularly thoso whose hard lot it is' to really reside in log cabins. • - Appointjh;xts ny the Pkesident JOHN M. NILES,of ConnocUcut, lo be Postmaster General, &C. C. CAM BRISLING,.of N. York, Minister Plenipotentiary to the Court of St. Petersburg.. The National Intelligencer says: tfTheso ap pointments are both of a cbarac-tcr calculated to give satisfaction. The selection of Mr. 'Nii.es for flic odicc’of Postmaster general, .is.an excellent choice. That gentleman, who, when.in-lhe U, S. Senate, made liimself favorably known throughout the Union, by' his. talents and the soundness of his principles, likewise possessing the untiring indus try' and business tact necessary for the. now station to whii'h ho has been called, and we feel satisfied that, 'mfder~liisTadministration, the Post Office Department will lose none of the efficiency and vigor imparted to it by his predecessor.’," The above, coming, from a political opponent, speaks volumes in favor, not only' of the President for his j editions selection, but also of the well es tablished character of the gentlemen nominated,.as. also of the efficient manner in which the abused and vilified Mr. Kendall transacted the onerous duties of the office which his enfeebled health com pelled him to resign. “Horn, mi vuU hear thatl"—Tim New Yoik “Planet” says, that Mathew 1..

The Banks will not discount; and the business portion of the public aro suffering in consequence thereof—and ns Banks of some kind appear.to be necessary, it would bo the part of wisdom in our law makers to establish a system which would supply the wonts of the people, and furnish' the best security for the faithful performance of its duties to the public*— Such a system might bo founded, according toiny ljumblo opinion, having real landed-property for its basis.
