COUNTY MEETING.
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.
Jackson to the Committee of the Ohio Legislature,
declining to accept the invitation tendered him to
visit thtit^tate .•durtngjho^present summer. 11l
health is.his apology.
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. <• ’

The Latighlin FanA—Tho President of the
Federal "National Convention 1 at Baltimore, has
published a statement showing that the amount of
money sgbsoribOd to the widow of the deceased, is
'32430! .From this our readers can infer thonumr
her o f Hard'Cider d elegates who were in attend
ance at the great, humbug fastastical parade of the
'4 th inst., as it has been the boast of the federalists
ever since that eachone paid a dollar to the up
fortunate widow,,and her family. - According to
their statement, then,; there must: have, been pre

Our good paturcd’friend £,,G. 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, •

question 9 lir veracity, wc here subjoin the article

“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

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. Price # \vho absconded from New
York immediately after Swarlwout, lias returned.
Ti»e Now. York Era of Wednesday Week says:—
“Yesterday the U. S. District Attorney, Mr. But
ler, intimated to William M. Price, Esq/ thatdie
had received instructions froin the Treasury De
partment at Washington, to proceed against him
Jur.defalcation whilojic.was. IL .S. Attorney Tor
the Southern District of New. York. Mr. Price
immediately surrendered himself up to the U. S,
Marshal, and tendered the rqquired 6 bail, two sat
isfactory sureties in the sum of $83,000 each.
It is estimated that the damage to property by
the rodent tornado at Natchez, amounts to $5,000,-
The number of lives lost in the city is estU

ous destruction of life and property, lias, we think,
never before occurred in Ibis country. .
Jl A T orJh West Passagefauna al fas//—The New
York Journal of Commerce says:—Messrs. Simp
son and Deanfof this Hudson’s Bay Company, af
ter two previous attempts (in 4837 and 1838,)
yvliich were successful, have at last
succeeded in effecting a complete solution of the
problem relating to a. “North West Passage!’ to
the Pacific Ocean. 1 They have ascertained that
such a passage exists, and that Boothia is an is
land. 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

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.. Davis, better
known as “the Spy in Washington,” whoso vo

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

Such a system might bo founded, according toiny
