The County Electing.
Proudly—gallantly—nobly has the Democracy ■of
old Cumberland responded to the call for a demonstra
tion in favor of a Pom-ylvni ia candidate for tho
presidency. We arc proud of .the unflinching, un
torrifled Democracy of this mother of counties, and
prouder still of tho stand they have token for their
favorite candidate.
. The meeting at the Court House on Monday night
\vns a tremendous outpouring of thp hardy yeomanry
of the county—a real old-fashioned gathering of her
“hone and sinew,'’ which evinced the zealous 'deter
mination of the people to stand hy their rights and
urge them in the person of their own, their 'beloved
IJncuANAN, It was one of the largest and most en-*
thusiuelic meetings wo have ever witnessed in that
building. The hard-working fatmers and mechanics
from c’very Section county were there, and gave'
.jUroijg aijd conclusive-evidence of. the zeal which ani

trust it. may b.’ rvspunded to from one end uf,tho
v momvealth to tlig' other. 1 Now is-the time 'to strike
. for our rights, and if Pennsylvania but -shows'an un
<V(vided, front.on the subject, her voice cannot fail.in.
being respected by all her sister States.
Q/jDunhcrland county, has spoken on the subject
.of the next Presidency in a way not to he tmsuiuler
-bioud; and, in obedience to what wo believe to’be the
/ .unanimous sentiment of her/Democratic population,
• we this Xveok place, at ojar mast-head the name of
-...JAMES RUCHANAN, there to remain until a final ■
decision of the claims of tho respective aspirants by a
National Convention—and only then to be struck, if,’
by some strange fatality, (which we do not anticipate,)
.the claims-of Pennsylvania should again be disregard

(fj-'Tlio mcethig on Monday night waß übly and
.elmfUenlly addressed by Messrs. Me Cl. re', Bonham,
Tndi/f Culver, Htiirr'll, and M.llcr, W*j
have seldom listened to any thing iu a public meeting
e.> interesting as the speeches of thesp gentlemen.—•
Uadi and all of them traced a.proper Idling of Slate

(TjTho Legislature adjourned.on Tuesday night
week', lo meet again on the 9lh of June for the purpose
of districting the State. Previous to their adjournment
they passed an appropriation hill of £3OO,(KH), for the
purpose of carrying on .the government. Tins, we be
‘lievcj ia the‘only appropriation of any consequence
made during the session—and if our Legislators did
'hut little good, they cannot be accused of having done
much harm.
ffj'A’ Tim IT Meeting was hold.in the Court House,

On £hc 4lh of July, ffB4o, in his speech at Hanover,

vive, credit will bo restored, active business will return,
and the prices of products and the wages of. labor will
rise.”
Instead of this, those who were deceived into tho
Ivclicf that the remedy for oycic.edit, overbunking, and

dear—the first time foi years. . Tho Hartford Times

nnd falls behind the Whig, Conservative, and :Aho.
Ulion candidates, only, 167 votes. The towns to*
bo beard from will undoubtedly secure bis election by
tho people, by two or three hundred majority,. Last
year Ellsworth’s majority over tho Democratic candi
date was 5,135!
In 177 towns, tho Democrats have elected ONE
HUNDRED AND .TWO Representatives, ‘and tho
Whigs only 40! " There are 28 vacancies. The
Democrats will have 13 or 11 of the 21 Senators.—
Of course the Governor and - State Ticket arc safe even
if there should be T}o choice by the people, (of which
wo hove no fears,) notwithstanding four tickets were
run,- * _
Wo have undoubtedly elected all of the eight Sher
iffs, with tho exception of the one in Hartford county,
where there is no choice. Never was there a victory

The Madisonian of Thursday hist, contains the fol
lowing account of a terrible disaster,on the Potomac;
resulting in the loss of no less than sixteen lives;
“He understand that information was yesterday r<>
ceived at the Navy Department, that the U. S. Steam
Cupt. J. T. IN'ew ton, in ascending
the Potomac river, ou her way to Washington, with a
pilot on board, rah aground ou Monday, opposite the
harbor of Port Tobacco. Kvery chart wqs immediate*,

talcing the gnus and other weighty articles aft. * Lieut.

vessel off; when by somm-mcans the boat was most
unfortunately swamped, frnd'lhis meritorious o/ficcr
arid fifteen''men perished, while in the-lailhful perform
anco of thoir duty.
So faros the facts of the caso_ have come to the
knowledge ot the Department, every precaution usujil
in such cases seems to have been taken hy the officers,
and there is no reason to attach blame to them for this
deplorable accident. Of course, however, the subject
will be fully investigated in tho proper manner..
Immediately on receipt of tho .intelligence, the Miss
issippi, which.had arrived on Monday, jwus despatched
to render ai.d if necessary. It was ejected .that -thd
‘Missouri would be got‘oil* at the next high tide.”
•CAN’T SHAKE IT OFF;—The Whigs, now that
they have got the affairs of the Government in a com--
plotc jumble—debt and distress, arc attempting to shift
the responsibility from, their shoulders; but it will stick

—anefabove all, fur the accumulation of tho pubUc

the public service, und lhcrcfprc_tht‘v were not>iespon
sible for tho present attitude of .the .national concerns.
Mr. Buchanan, however, pressed home the point that
Congress Judd the purse strings—that tho President
could lavish nothing .that did not put ot hia

a variety of forms, more or less malignant In their
character. To restore the eystem to a state of health,
then, it is only, necessary lq jemovp the causa of dis
ease, and the end is accomplished. The causa is ob
struction somewhere. This' can bo VcmoTed -hy pur
gatiou, which is the only-means and by nature. Dr
partifJCs Strengthening 'and German Aperient Pills
are allowed by the thousands who have used them, to
bo the- best puigativc medicine in existence. Because'
they nbt only.remove all obstructions, and'.rurge the
system of its impurities, but .because; end' which is
.extremely important, strengthen grid give ‘proper tone

parts., Besides, they, arosn -miid and gentle in their
operation, as to render them el ell .times a petjbcily

medicine; and give it afair trial.instesdof destroying
