Softer that the entire population of Cumberland
county, is 30,937 —being an increase of 1,793 on,

from in Pennsylvania, the population is 1,336,555,
and {lie remaining 17 counties it is supposed will
swell the aggregate to nearly 1,900,000. . In 1830
the was 1,348,233.
A bill has hern introduced into Congress, by
Dr. Duncan; of Ohio, fixing upon day
for the election of President and Vico President,

M«. Clav has introduced a resolution into the
Senate for a repeal of the Independent Treasur}'.
This gave rise to a warm debate' -at the time be

of kicking up a dust about Abolition petitions.—
W.o hope the Democratic representatives from the
North, will not interfere in the matter pro or con.
Let them fold-their arms.and permit the question
to be settled between, the Southern Whigs and
Northern Abolitionists in their own w;ay- It is

Gpv. Porter has met in the spirit of a Statesman

. ** To speak his thoughts is every freeman's right .”
—ln the foregoing article wo have given our views
relative to thegubernatorial .nomination, honestly
and candidly, and,j in so doing, are of the opinion
that the same views and feelings are entertained
by nine-tenths of the. democracy of the county.-
Yet we would not'be selfish or exclusive, in ..the
matter, and-if there be any of our democratic
friends, and we know there are a few who enter?
tain different opinions from us, we are perfectly
willing to give- them r a. hearing through our col
umns, provided it is done, in a proper and respect
ful manner. -Before the nomination-we may all
express our opinions about men
after it is over let.iis one and all bow to the will
of the majority. This is democratic doctrine
tho true course to pursue, and the only-ono which
c £n secure the,Commonwealth from the clutches
of Federalism-. , •' y. ‘ • '
.For what do we contend? —Now that the
Presidential contest is over,‘and we arc put of the
dust and- hcal of battle, it is necessary for us as
.<JP to .sgairour^ines,ip gatberup the frag
on wiiicli wc stand, and prepare for another onset.
-Although our forces have beop scattered and
thrown in confusion, they are not dispirited. Al
though we have been driven from out strong holds,
the flag of Democracy has,not been struck.—lt
.still thebreezC, if not triumphant
ly—still bearing on its ample folds ihesalne time,
honored inscriptions, ' Whatl is it to be supposed
that tho Democracy in this their daybf trial and
hour of danger, will basely desert their standard
will make concessions lo'Uib t enemy 1 Wilflliey,
who in-times past'havp fought the'battles of truth
and justice, and have triumphed, now, amid the
darkness of temporary defeat, surrender the glori
ous trophies of their toil? Never 1 They fight for
principles, that are living and eternal, ''
.For what then do tlie Democracy contend ?
The question may be answered by asking another
—for what/mec they contended? From
of the Declaration of Independence, when Thomas
Jefferson penned that immortal line—“that all men
arc created equal, that they are endowed ljy their
Creator with- certain unalienable rights”—they
havc' contended for those rights unadulterated and
unabridged. They have, admitting that one man
may be superior to another by his superior intelli
gence, integrity, and energy of character, conten
ded for political equality —for equal rights, and
equal privileges. They have resisted the aggres
sions of die lew against the many—they have
contended that government should liold out equal
PROTECTION TO ALL—GRANT PRIVILEGES TO NONE.
They-have in a word, struggled for “the greatest .
good to the greatest number.”
Bui to be more explicit—for what particular
measures, or policy of government,, do they now
contend,' as the means of carrying dutllieir princi*
pics? They advocate the ‘‘lndependent Treasu
*ry,” as the best and* only constitutional mode of
collecting, keeping, and disbursing the. public,
monies,’' They profess uncompromising hostility
to a National Bank in'every shape and form, as an
institution and opposed to the
spirit otour-governmenti-i.aB-a great-overshadow
ing central money power, and, dangerous to the
liberties of iho people. They profess an -anxious
solicitude,for a healthful reform of the currency,
by proper restraihttho banking in :
stitutions of the country. They oppose the further
increase of . the,banking, capital. They oppose
monopolies in every form. They oppose a high
protective tariff, : as - an unrighteous tax upon the
planting and agricultural energies of the country
•i—as ultimately defeating itself,, by every protec
tion increasing the demand for'protection. They
are in favor of free trade with allthe world-
oppose the assumption of .tho debts of
by the General Government, as unconstitutional’
and consolidating in its nature; They oppose also
-the distribuftoh'ofihe-prbceeds-ofthe public lands*
aihorig the States, as corrupting- in its tendency;
and as ; encouraging tho States to : renew, systems
of wild and profiigate'ezpenditufes. They oppose
a, system of internal improvement by tho General
Government, infringing bfi_ the .Stales rights
doctrine of -’OS, as tending to centralize cur eon;
federate Government,‘and tOTehder dependant and
subservifent. independent'States.' They eschew
abe fell Spirit of Abolition, as ruinous to . the best'
interests ptthe republic, as revolutionary and dis
organizing,ip Jtsaimsr-as the demon that will
first raise, the horrid crest pf disunion in the land
firet break the plighted faith of the
.'‘Z •
; These are the MeXauaes.of the Democratic party.
For these they conland.fThey jgo for the consti
tution .being-strictly construed*, and for the gov
emraoqtbcjngßimply and plainly administered in
accordance with the intentionsof its original foun
ders. -It wasthowarning voico of Patrick Henry
that proclaimed, that if this government ever fell,
it would be by its own weight—it would bo by
the desire of ambitious'rulerp to ipako a splendid
government, emulating tlic dazzling doepotisms.of
Europe, instead of.lieing satisfied with the Origi
nally simple model'-of republicanism. ■ .
■ bf^i^uhie.^fdwiog, ’l wo tyro
wceka .ago .advoited to.the-fapt that the.diffefent
factions composing the Harrisonparty were jeal
ously inclined, and-HhaC the respective leaders
were already. reasonof
eachVoifier’a ‘ supposed
die President elect, We statcd thatlbe ‘*gTeen
byj& mb)seter* ;
• signal fortr,war ofextorminatlon among the clans
of federal whiggery.—But we did not suppose at
: the time, that our forebodings were so soon to be
■ realized—that We would thus early have to record
the fact that hostilities have commenced;! But so
it is. Scarcely a moon has'.passed since the re
sult of tho Presidential election, is Icitown, and yet
we find that a deadly feud; aireadyoxlatsbetweon
' two of the most prominent of.the Buckshot leaders,
Stevens and, Penrose! . That these two worthies—;
who had stood shoulder to shoulder in the Catali
nlan conspiracy of ’3B, .and whose char
acter, interests, and every thing 'else, appeared
then to be so'indissolubly joined together that:
nothing could possibly separate them—should how!
be found warring against each'other with all the
bitter animosity am) deadly hate which character-;
ized the ancient clan-ish chiefs in their petty wars,
,is what could scaVcely have..been foreseen by any
one prior to .the late election. 'Biit.the friendship
of these men had .nothing of that ennobling and
'sanctifying nature in its composition, which is'ap
parent; where principle Js at the bottom ;—on the
contrary, they' were actuated by selfish aiid con
tracted motives, each endeavoring to make the
other a stepping stone to climb into-power. The
moment, therefore, the tempting object began to
loom up in the.distance, and the prospect of a cabi
net perchance ai gubernatorial nom
ination,oifered a speedy realization of their hopes,
so far as one of them was concerned, (for only We
could be.gralificd,) envy took possession of their
breasts, and they Set at worrying each'Other about,
who should obtainithe prize. - 1
We are led to make these remarks from the
cross; firing, which has recently taken place be
tween (he ‘/Carlisle Herald," owned by Mr. Pen
rose, and the “Gettysburg Star,” the property and
mouth-piece of Mr. Slovens. ■ Tho Herald ootn
mcncod the war by letting off a small battery at
Stevens, in which his claimsto the Post' Office
' Department aro apokuii of very disparagingly, pnd
alleging that to appoint hitmwould be a most un
popular and suicidal, act. In return for this W
tuoriz'ed attack upon Mr. S.j the Star .sends a
broadside ihto the Herald ih which the Prime of
Jpoatatea is handled without gloves. - *!• ' '
To show our readers a specimen of (his warfare,
wo copy the article from the Star to which we
allude, barely premising that the feud between the
two chieftains is not confined to the newspaper
.controversy, hut is already visible in the deport-,
mept of the rank ofjbg two .factions tp.
fdr the /‘Star” caronadn, which wo doubt hot is
from the'pen of Mr. Stovdns himpclf: !
PUBLIC' OPINION.
The, want as-well as the shallowest mode of
manufacturing' ‘‘public opinion” is,to procure par
agraphs to be inserted in dis la ntjournais t an dth eh
transferred to the collecting focus/ But this small i
trade is so Well understood that it affects nobody.
We are led to these remarks by observing the
course of the ‘‘Carlisle Herald & Expositor’* in
reference to one of his follow townsmen.. _.\Vc ob
ject to^ nothing laudatory. which or can say
i of the gentleinan~refe"rred‘to; but it is somewhat
amusiifg to‘see it collect'the ‘‘opinions” of, the
Harrison party of Pennsylvania from the papers of
i.such counlieaas Columbia, *arid“ Perry,'which
| gave about 2500 Van Burch- majority. - But what
j we particularly except to in.tlie.Herald
' of especial condemnation, is the editorial remarks
f pf the la&t number, under the. head of “New Cab*
I met” Wd do not object to the eulogy on Mr.
Penrose, although considering the location .and
ownership of that paper, we should think it be
trayed much lack of modesty and delicacy. But
why attempt to depress the gentloman-whorn the
Editor seems to consular his rival? Is this the
j way to promote the harmony and ensure the future
'success of the party? The Editor should hove the
prudence to remember, , before he makes , such in-
I vidious assaults against those who'have sacrificed
their time and estates for the last fifteen ontweniy
years to stein the torrent of Locofocoism, that He \
has but lately taken refuge from the indignation
of his fellow agrarians in the ranks, and under the
protecting shield of the very parly and the very
men whom hS now assails. But it is hardly ‘to
bo wondered„at. They,-, were so much the sub
jects of his assaults a few-years since when he
shot his poisoned arrows from the * ranks of the
enemy, that he.cannot refrain from using a weapon
from the same quiver evert when he professes to
be their friends. Of" the.propriety of appointing
to the Cabinet the person, who is tnus gratuitously
introduced by the Herald for the purpose ofenvU
qus remark, we do not intend to speak. If he’bo
hot already known to the nation and iho.Presidcinf
elect, nq poor editorial puffing will give him any
honorable notoriety. Nor shall we say'aught
against ( tho Herald'S, favorite; we know and re?
Spect Him in bis *plxo«. -But we have not the
moat distant belief that any considerable' portion
of the Hirrison party In Pennsylvania .would de
sire to see him tendered the first honor which
Pennsylvania is to receive.—We- have no, appre--
hension that he will be placed in the very front,
and the old warriors be commanded to wheel into
the fear. But enough of this. We trust we shall
see no more attempts among professing friends to
depreciate- the merits of our prominent men, of
invidious comparisons between. •It requires
no magician to foretel- that such a course would
end in the speedy downfall of the party.
