OUR PROSPECTS.
The news from every section of tire county is of
the most cheering character. “Our CAUSE, our
CANDIDATES, and tho VICTORY,” appears
to fie the watch-word with, the- Democrats of Old
Mother Cumberland.
leware of Spurious Tickets!
- -As As their ..custom, the Whigs will doubtless
have thousands of spurious tickets, of every hue
and grade, in circulation on the day of tho election.
Wo therefore caution our Democratic friends, and
- advise lhem toho OarefuUhat 'lhcy.be not deceived,
in this way. Look well to your tickets-before you
deposits them in the ballot-boxes,-and be sure.that
every name is upon them in their proper places,
and thitt each ono is correctly spelled. Our Dem
ocratic friends have been deceived heretofore in
this way, and they may bo again unless they ex
ercise tho utmost caution. Again wo say—EX-.

(trust every Democrat in the county will be at the
Spoils, and assist in achieving a triumphant victory
over-the. common enemy. Vote the : ticket, the
whole ticket, and nothing hut the ticket.
.A'C'pninfilttec on Cracks!”
It is customary all political parlies previ
ous to'-an election, to appoint committees to per
form various duties—Committee on tickets, com
mittee of vigilance,' committee to challenge-illegal
voters, &c. &c.; but the Herald of last week in
fbrras us (hat the whigs of our borough have a new
.committee.'this'fall—a .“Committee on cracks,"

' -This gentleman, it isjnade the special
object of attack by tho Whigs. . They are resort
ing to every foul means to defeat liis election, wtfll
knowing that they have nothing to.expect at his
hands should lie take a seal in tho .Legislature.—
They charge him with hostility to the Tayern
keepers, and that ho is in favor of passing laws to
prohibit the making anil, vending of. ardent spirits,
together with, sundry’ other stories, of an equally
ridiculous nature. To all of which wo aro author
ized togiVe the most positive and pointed, contra
diction. There is not a word,ef truth in any oPthc
charges preferred against him, and we pronounce
them base and unmitigated fabrications from be
ginning to end. - Our Democratic friends through-
out'the county must be on their, guard. They
must pay no attention to the numerous stories that
arc circulated against their candidates. They arc
concocted by the Whigs and circulated for effect*
and if any of our friends permit themsedvtes to bo
deceived by them, the Whigs after th(X,pleciion,

Democrats of Old Cumberland.
Tuesday next, is the beginning of the end. On
that day you are expected to devote to your coun
try that service which is called for at tho hands*of
all. It is the service of the patriot—it is that kind
of indispensable service, which hon-performed,
might blast the hopes of tho friends of civil liberty
throughout tho world, forever. It is that kind of
service, which if performed faithfully, will save-’
from the hands of a parly the.controlling influence
in the affairs of government, whoso leaders would
dbuhlles'sqjroslrate~ovcryintcrcstin -nn-attomptlo
bridle tho popular arm, and vest the power in the
hands of.the few; those, the purse-proud lordllngs
of the laud, who have been taught to spurn the
honest poor man , and regard him as unworthy' of
equal participation in the' political-direction’ of'gov
ernmental af/airs, on account of their alleged inedm
pclcncy to control themselves. ‘ This Was the opinion,
entertained of Uje laboring miljions by the federal
party of ’HB and ISOI, as then boldly and fearlessly
.expressed., lljs the opinion of the loaders of Fed
eral Whiggery of the present* day ,*aUhough they
dare not so publicly declare themselves, That the
pYesenl Whig party fc entertain and secretly; cher
ish* llm opinion wo have ascribed’ to them above, is
conclusively made manifest by.all past
That that /party would
cliiso a l\\ird portion of the population of the Union,
and build up a ‘MONEY* POWER, with a capa*-
clty to re
straint, tlio past furnishes ample
proof. , Let's. lt up then, and al them.”. ■
In’ view of the above, facts,, we call upon the
and-to-come-up-man
fully to the work on Tuesday next, and sedulously
devote that day to the service of their country.—
Let'cveryman himself go‘up to thcpollsandTOte;"
and then rally his neighbors who may bo luke
warm. Aro any lame, halt, blind or indisposed,
seek them out and provide^meansto secure their
votes. This is the kind of service your country
demands. Your patriotism on former occasions is
a sure guarantee that you will not falter now—that
you will j-ally with alacrity around tho standard
of your country, and save it from the blight of Fcd
ornl mixrtih. and trnnr niirsn-nrnnd nnnnnonto
..that.the .free.ani.un.c.onquerable D_emocragy__ojf.Old.
Mother Cumberland “know their rights, and know-,
ing will maintain them”—that they, the Feds,
never can by chicanery and machlavelian devices
succeed in imposing upon your credulity, or decoy
vou into the meshes of the Federal net. “Up,
THEN, AND AT ’EM.”
DEMOCRATS! tluf case is before you 1 Trust
not -yourselves to tho apparent apathy and supino
ncss of your hypocritical, Janus-faced opponents,
the whigi! if you do, you will be most egregi
ously deceived. Remember, you have a wily and
insidious .onpmy to contend with—one that will
leave no means untried, however base and dishon
orable, to attain that which they know ihey can
not effect by numerical force. They are oven now,
SEcnETLY straining every nerve, and toils utmost
tension, to accomplish their purpose—.your 'defeat.
It is by this, underhanded system of tactics they
hope to’achieve an easy victory oyer you—for they
are all lliings unlo all men, every thing by turns,
and nothing when probed. “UP, THEN, AND
AT’EM.”
DEMOCRATS! if you rally in full strength,
your.success is certain. By supinoness you may
lose the day, and leave tho triumph to your one
mies—and as a trophy, they ma‘y carry off- a por
tion of your liberties. As you love your country,
put forth your energies, i As you value freedom,
measure your diligence. In proportion to your de
sire to perpetuate to your children tho rich legacy
of your.revolulionary fathers, let your energies be
called in requisition. Lot next Tuesday’s sun set
gloriously for Old Mother Cumberland; you have
tho power—put forth then your potent arm. Let
the County pffipes'be redeemed, regenerated and
disenthralled frbtuThd dominion of Federal Whig
gery, and the proud .ensign of Democracy bo dis
played in its majesty, bearing aloft tho inscription
of EQUAL RIGHTS TO ALL, of whatever faith
of persuasion,-Religious orTolitioal,affordingpro
tcction to all, granting EXCLUSIVE PRIVILE
GES TO-NONK. “UP, THEN, BOYS, AND
AT ’EM.” . ”
Finally, ifyou would eiloot this noble
it Irahooves you (o’.bo up and doing—-loTneef your
Opponents at every p'oint—to counteract their ex

tXVlAncvcr.llio Federalists jaro unable to answer
the statements - and arguments of the Democnp,
they raise the cry of “Demagogues”—“Radices”
—“Robespierres,”—“Danlohs,”—“Murals,” fee.
&c. Whenever- the Democrats’ show by a bbain
of reasoning that is irresistible and that
the- measures of the Federalists, as wpll as their
principles, have a direct tendency-to opprcss-lho
mass df.-tho community, to deprive labor 6lT*its*.le
gitimate fruits, to transfer those ffuits which have
been earned by the honest industry of the “toiling
millions,” to the pockets of^-Whig-nabobs,'
and wealthy lordlings, their “Trays, - ’Glances,
Sweet-hearts, and all” set up a simultaneous
howl, that it is nothing but a repetition.pf “the
exploded doctrine of tho'rich against the poor.”—
Whenever the Democrats speak the plain, honest,
simple truth, unvarnished and unadorned, the Fed
eralists attempt to drown' their voice by senseless
clamor—and arc’not willing to meet the s grave
questions of a-political science presented for-dis
cu&sion in a proper spirit, or' submit a bad cause
to the touch-stone oßjeasom
“Lnw.Dcmagogucisml'\—is the cry when these
Whig Parana loso their temper, ami. have the worst
of the encounter. And who pray have shown
themselves “toe demagogues 1 ?” —to say nothing
of the low qucs! To go no farther back—who
wore “tho demagogues” in 1810, when 4 *sjlk
stocking gentry” built log-cabins with their own
delicate hands,'wore coon’s-tails in their fiats, ca
ressed the dear little animals and carried them on
their shoulders through the streets, shouted loud
-hosannas.toJohn-Bearjho “Buckeye Blacksmith,”
presented him with silver cups and pitchers, while
they themselves drank "hard cider” out of gourd
shells, in their wicked, attempts to debauch a na
tion to gain a political advantage, and amid the
revels ofiiitoxication to carry into effbct'their' ob
noxious views, which they knew, the sober senses
of the American people wopld reject with scorn.
P Who were “the demagogues,” when Henry
Clay, the supporlorof a National Bank, the father
of - the Bankrupt Law, and of all those aristocratic
and corrupting Federal measures known as tho
groat “American System,” the only tendency of
which is to consolidate and centralize the govern
ment anjJ oppress the people, was heralded to the
yiypjlil as, .the friend _of "the laborer-and the j>oor,

Who were “.the dkmagoouks,” when the Fed
eralists advocated'’ in one section of tho Union,
what they opposed’ in another—who were Tariff
and Anti-Tariff, Dank and Anti-Bark, Abolition
ists and Slave-holders, “every thing by turns and
nothin" Ion",” and in fact anything to ,guD [he

Bui we will not pursue this subject further.—
ii always betokens a littleness of purpose Mo ony
"parlymrd'ifny talking-about-dcmagogucs
or demagogueism. It shows that they have a bad
cause to sustain, and have no argument to use ;n
its defence; and wish to divert attention from
themselves by calling names—they wish.to escape
detection, with their stolen'goods under tbpircoat,
by the ominous cry, of “Stop Thief !”
We know of no greater mark of weakness in an
editor than to bo drawn from his propriety, and in
dulge in superfine slang of this kind. There is an
affectation of superiority in tho man who prates,
flippantly about “low demagogueism,” which may
or may not be warranted by tho facts of tho case.
There is an air-of “gentility" about such phrases
that is certainly excruciating, and could only be
long to those who claim to have by “the rule of
Gunter ” we suppose; if not*by tho law of nature,
“all tho decency” among themselves.* The Fed
eralists imagine that they t are like the ancient Is
raelites, “a chosen few”—“a pecuTTar~p'tooplo”—“
and that all the rest of creation are fit for nothing
else than to minister to their comforts, and bo made
to feel in the most pungent possible manner their
degrading inferiority. Tho Wom demagogues”
must not come between the wind and their nobility
•£-and the people are tho senseless gulls in their

It is tho low estimate of tho popular intelligence
which has always proved fatal to Federalism, and
all ‘its darling schemes, whoso'advocates have
vainly’imagined that iho. popplo.aro easily led by
jelap trap -phrases .and unmeaning sound. ' The
people arc not often jnjstakon in the opinions which
they form of men ?nd tilings—and'if tho cry of
“the rich against the poor” finds, a response in tho
popular heart, tho Federal politicians had far, bet
tor examine whether there bo no cause for such a
complaint, than attempt to silence their mighty
Voice^by^hoiuingainongThomsolves—“lowdkm

Van Buron, that “tho sober second thought of the
people is seldom wrong and always efficient.” "
(jj-Tlio following sensible remarks op sympathy
for tho oppressed, wo clipfrom the N. Y. Tribune,
the leading Whig paper .in that city, and would
respectfully recommend them to the prayerful at
tention of oiir amiable friend of the.Horald S Ex
positor. As their paternity is so very ‘(respecta

“ we hope the gontloroproofgiven below

Why don’t they arrange those Papers?
■ The* proper - arrangement of the papers in tho
county offices, thaf-werc.so much
the burning of the old Court Hqusc,- is one of tho
.arguments, - indeed tho only omr'made use of by tho
Herald in advocating (he re-election of the present
office-holders. This is all balderdash—for every
body acquainted with the candidates on both sides,
"knows full well that if there shouldjhc any-dilficulty
in Arranging them—which no sensible/ man be
lieves—the Democratic candidates are much more
competent to the task than the present incumbents.
Bui then, iLlho papers arc so very important, why
is ij.that they ImVo not long since been arranged 1,
Certainly they have had time enough to attend to
(his thing during the of.time that bas
elapsed since tho conflagration.
Tho truth is, the present Whig office-holders,
instead of attending to their duties, as they'should
do, are now, and have been during tho entire sum
mer and fall, engaged electioneering; and so fre
quently are they absom, particularly the Prolhono
lary and Clerk of thej. Courts, that it is beginning
to bo a subject of cofriplaint with country people
who come to town to.lransaot their of
fices. Tho Prothdnplary takes the upper end of
the county, and the Clerk the lower end—and this
is their daily and weekly avocation. And .yet, for
sooth, the argument- is that they should be elected
again to arrange the papers! These men should
be ashamed to go before the people )vilh such an
appeal. ’ ~ *
(Ej Is it so that the Whjg Cjlerk of the Courts is

pursued by tho Whig leaders to deceive and mis
lead unsuspecting Democrats—and wo caution qur
friends throughout tho county, to pul no failh' tn
these kind of charges. They arc manufactured for
the occasion, and aro only intended to injure the
Democratic candidates, .and thereby .‘promote the

and called lustily upon tho “straight-outs” of

in particular, to come to the rescue, aryl-save tho

TFrOTIC EXAMPLE.^,
Fashions, in France.— Tho Paris Fashions in
dress at present arc said to he t!jo most ridiculous
that can bo imagined. ■ Men \year liny hats with.
trousers without straps, and about a vara wide at
the ankles; tremendous waistcoats, of tho fashion
and dimensions worn in the year of grace, 1715;
enormous watch ribbons, bearing ponderous-bunch
ed of seals. Tho ladies wear robes fitting tight to
■ the body, and buttoning up to the chin .like a sol
dier’s jacket; paletots, fastened in every respect
like those of the men, only made of. .silk, and bon
nets resembling corpulent and apdpletlc coal scut
tles.
The New Constitution of Texas.— . The Wash
ington Union, in speaking of the now Constitution
adopted by the Texas Convention for tho new
Slate, says: ,
“It has been received hero with pleasure* It
has been admired for some of the now provisions
which it has adopted; and we have heard one oV
our best jurists express the Opinion, that it is prob
ably the best constitution that has her i formed in
the United States. 'Some* of its features partake
of tfi'o liberal spirit of the age. Its stipulations for
the benefit of females are calculated to extend and
to improve the provisions-of-tho-constitution of
Louisiana. Its clauses in,relation to plavery are
calculated to open tho door sufficiently, but not
too'widely, for the admission of slavery; and pro
tect the master as wqll as the slave. .
“The people of Texas are to vote upon its adop
tion on the loth of October. There is no question
about its.salification by the popular-; vote* although
it tnay lose a few votes in consequence of some ap
prehensions as to the effect it may have upon tho
titles to land. There can be no-solid, foundation
for these fears. The claimants of lands may ho
assured that full justice will.be done in the cpiirts
bYtho United Sjatos in tiny behalf.. 1

The Falsehood Walled!
\Ve have slated in ‘another paragraph that the
charge of infidelity so industriously cirpnlaied by
the Whigs against Capt. Goodyear, the Democrat
ic candidate for Clerk of the Courts, was a villain
ous fabrication—a vile and* abominable 'falsehood.'
That we were rightfih so denying it, our readers,
will he the belter to judge when they read the
subjoined certificate from two of Mr. Goodyear’s,
neighbors,’one of whom is a Whig—but neverthe
less an honest and upright man, who scorns tho
course pursued by the leaders of his own* party.—
What will honest men of every-parly think of tho
vile slanderers now ? Let every man in tho county
—Whigs as well as Democrats—read tho cerlifi
cate7~lt effectually clinches tho Whig falsehood,
and stamps its concoctors and. propagators as a set
of vile scoundrels, who are mean enough to bo
guilty of any thing, no matter how mean and con
temptible

Wo understand from good authority, that .ono
oflhoWhig candidates for favor, called upon llio
Editor of the Statesman N a day or two since, and
solicited ImnTo'pnnt tickets ■\viih~all~the natncs' of
lho;SDemocraiic candidates upon thorn except one
—in place'of which hq wanted his own namo sub
stituted, fort the purpose of deceiving
some Democratic voters, Mr. Gilt, we believe,
refused to print them, as requested, but it goes to
show lho moans resorted to by tho leading Whigs,
and that they aro willing to stoop to the lowest
and most despicable tricks in order to cheat the de
mocracy out of tho election*. When such a man as
tho Whig candidate in question, will resort to such
means, what may bo expected of those who move iii
a lower circle insociety 1 • It shows lhc necessity,
however, of our friends being on their guard'against
spurious tickets. -ThaWho abbre-mehtwtted iden-
tical kind will bo iu'cifculntioh-we Viave ’
not a doubt, as well as other of every
