On our first pa go wo present to- our readers the charge of Judge Hepburn to tlio Jury, in the late riot ease. Wo do not know when we have mot with anything more worthy of publication, or of a careful and attentive perusal. The subject ho reviews is one of great interest, particularly to a people border, ing on slave-holding States, defining (heir duties, and also to Southerners, defining their rights. Wo have never read ony charge to a Jury exhibiting greater impartiality,. The evidence is.lull without comment entirely to the Jury—but the law na applicable to Die facts, ta laid down in, the clearest manner, and sustained by powerful and logical reasoning ARE YOU ASSESSED 1 The law of Pennsylvania requires every man to bo assessed ten days before tho election, which tills year takes place oh (ho 12th of October. It would be well totako time by the forelock and havo it done In good season. Too early is olways better than 100 late,. OUR COUNTY TICKET. From all parts of the county wo havo the most cheering intelligence. Tho Democratic ticket is pronounced M a good ticket*' even by a large portion of our political opponents. That our entire ticket will be elected by a large majority, is now generally admitted. The nomination for the Senate of that sterling Democrat and honest man, Robert C, Ster xktt, gives universal satisfaction. His majority in this county will -reach, we think, at least four hun dred. Our other candidates will also receive niany Whig votes, for, as a Whig told us a few days since* tho Democrats hate a much better ticket than the Whigs.”, That Whig assured us that ho would vote for at least one half of bur ticket, and ’so will huu* ' dreds of other honest Whigs, who desire to see wor thy nnd capable men selected for office. Let our friends but be oelive, and after tho election wo can in truth say, ** Old Cumberland is redeemed.” WHO CAN TELL I Wo hear it asserted that Messrs. Noble and Mackey, who mis-reprsaontcd this couaty in (ho last Legislature, both rated for the abolition law. By reference to the journals of the House, we soe that the yeas and nays on its passage ore nol given,— Will our neighbor of the Herald inform us whether it is true that the Representatives from this county voted for that law? TiieWmio candidate run Senator. —The c onfc* fees appointed by the Whigs of Cumberland and Perry met at SterrcU's Gap on Tuesday, and ndroi nated James Kennkdv of this county, as their enndi date for the Senate. Mr, K. is also on of the Whig ticket for Director of the Poor. lie is no doubts '* one-term man/’ but runs for too offices at the same time. (£y*The Herald tells us that that paper Vis not J * pensioned” upon any man or any institution, or any party, either for muncy or for long editorials I” Prebaps it Is hot, but we do think Ihatlho patronage of “ old Dickinson” has a moilcoptivalin^influence sometimes upon certain men at a time when 41 cdlto. to be prepared. The Herald need not at tempt to show so much Independence—it la laughed at, even by Whigs. The editor will have enough to do to quiet Uio complaints of his own party friends, without attempting to convince us of his “indepen dence." QTj»The Herald U again troubled because of the release of the ** pick-pockets.” Why (he subject was not brought before court, we cannot tell. We cor. tainly desired to see it investigated, and the Herald some two months since assured us that it would and should be.investigated.- Perhaps our former remarks in relation to the port the Whig .Sheriff took in (he “release of tho pick-pocket*,” prevented the inves tigation about which tho Herald blustered ao much. W|iy wot not the subject brought before court, we ask again. Perhaps tho Rtterend James Mackey and Jacob Ritner, who were on he Grand-Jury, can explain.

Tell thorn it in FALSE, when .yoaLear the Fed eralists assertthal Jamks Irvin is the friend of (ho poor man, Ho Ims no feelings in.cotnthon with llio laborer, and never known to bp very “generous” except whcn’befbro the people for.office# • Teiithoin R It FALSE when you them aoy that Xiiittf XtviM and the Federal party are in favor of * 1 high prices for labor.” When tho .Federalists succeeded ip 1810, and elected. Gen. Harrison to tbo Presidency, what kind of limes had we then 7 Never, had poor men more difficulties in providing for the wants of their families, notwithstanding before the, election of Gen. Harrison they were promised “ two dollars a-day and good roast beef.” Democrats, when the Federalists tell .you that the election of Irvin would make 14 better times” and 14 money plenty,” remind them of tho lies they told you in 1840. • . . Tell them it is FALSE, when you hear them say that they desire to'conduct tho election honorably.— Tell them that their PIPE-LAYING SCHEMES* backed by BRIBERY and CORRUPTION, at tho elections in 1810 and 1844 are too well known'to the people'of Pennsylvania to let them for a moment suffer (hp belief to enter th'dif minds that Federalism over can bo other than dishonorable, treacherous, and wicked. Toll them it is FALSE when you boar tho Feder alists assert that 14 groat frauds have been discovered on tho public works.” Wo have asked them over , and over again, for the proof .of this assertion,but they'*cannot furnish a tittle of proof. It is a malt* cidus, wilful, deliberate falsehood, and .wo therefore nail it to (he counter. In short, Democrats, whatever professions they may make to you, believe them net . Between this and tho election it Is to bo expected that the emissaries of Federalism will be busy in.giving utterance to-the most barefaced falsehoods and'misrepresentations, with tho view of winning over Converts to tho support of that aristocratic demagogue, James Irvin; Wo caution our friends to bo on their guard, and should any of tho friends of Democracy meet any of those Federal pimps trying to deceive the honest and un suspecting with, their . manufactured stories, walk boldly up to them and toll them it is FALSE! « A LITTI/E MORE GRAPE.” • It is related that in the hottest and most critical period qf iho fight at Buena Vista, Gen. Taylor came up to CapL Bragg’s battery.of flying artillery, and, after watching lor a moment the terrible execution it was doing among the serried and crowded ranks of tho enemy, said in a calm and confident tone* w A little more grap» t if you pleoee, Copt.

Owing to sickness in his family, his stay was necessarily very short, being obliged to leave next morning. A large number of the citizens of that place called to see him, and were mueli pleased with his Republican Habits—his plain, unassuming man ners and intelligent conversation. We only wish that every voter in the county could see Mr. Long stretli—they could not-fail to like him. Hia next visit to that town will bo in his official capacity, as ono pf tho Canal Commissioners of. Pennsylvania— so at least we predicted. GOING IN FOU THE MILITARY! It is most astonishing to soo tho avidity with which the Federalists, even of this region, go in for Generals and oilier military characters, for civil offices. Our neighbor oftlio lferald % for a short-time, would have no ono clso for next President but GENERAL Tay. lor. Then there is GENERAL Irvin lor Governor —MAJOR Patton for Canal Commisioncr—COLO NEL Noble for Assembly, &c, See. The three last, wo would mention, do not belong to* tho “ regular army.” Those are tho candidates of a party who a few years sinco considered it dangerous to oleotany military man to a civil office. Beautiful consistency. Cj* Tho Union slates that Gen. Kearny arrived in Washington on Friday night. He reported himself on Saturday to tho President of tho United States and to the Department of War. Ho is in good health* and very desirous, as soon as ho can bo released from his engagements in Washington, to join our army in Mexico. Col. Fremont was expected to arrive at the capital in a few days. Contemptible.— Gov. Ifabb, of Ohio, refused to furnish subsistence to Col. Irvin's regiment ofvolun leers, and they would have been obliged to disband, had not a telegraph despatch been speedily made lo Washington, announcing (he fact, in consequence of which, the President directed the supplies to bo furnished by Lieut Cob J/Ervlng, of the artillery! G3* A largo number of counterfeiters were arrested In New York city, on Saturday. A broker in Wail street, netned Brainard,and his sun, wore implicated with them.

That the speeches of Tom Corwin ahd Dan Web* slqr were published by the papers In Mexico, encour \pging ibetn to reject the most honorable terms of pesos which have been offered them. INDIVIDUAL.. LIABILITY* Voters of old Cumbcrland! before you go to the polls, on the second Tuesday of next month, consider well the principles of the Democrats, and compare them with those of the Federalists. The Democrats contend (hat (he property of bankers should bo liable for their debts as well as that of the farmer or me chanic. The Federalists are violently opposed to Individual. Liability when applied to bankers, although they are quite willing that the property of the farmer should be struck off by the Sheriff, or the Constable’s hammer, to satisfy the,demands of his creditors. Ponder wet! on those , things before you vote, and. stand firm for. “ Equal Eights.” Federal Promises, In 1840 the Federalists promised the working-men, in.lho case of Harrison’s election, “ two dollars a day and roist beef” for their labor.. But (bey did’nt-gol it. In 1844,they' promised—in case of Polk’s elec tion—ruin and distress. .They strive hard to redeem the latter, by raising a panic in the country, but they “could’ai come it.” Pennsylvania Railroad, —lt is said |ja|aconlracl has been entered into by the Company, with Reeves & Co., of Plulaaefjjhia, for. all the railroad iron required on the of this road, at 960,50 per ton, dolivereflon the lino of the road.. This contract will amount to about $900,000, and is taken on terms considerably favora ble to the company. LIST EVERY MAN DO HIS OVTYX Wo approach the termination of tho'pohiical contest in this State, with* thorough conviction that FR AN : CIS R. SKUNK will be triumphantly rc-«lectcd. The death-blow to Federalism in this State will as suredly be given If our' Democratic friends do not neglect to attend the polls. Let every man do his duly, and the Democratic majority will bo over, whelming. The predictions made by the Federalists last tall, that the tariff of 1646 would Min the coun try, have not been verified. On the contrary the prosperity of the country—the Increoso'of revenue— (be high prices of bread-stuffs, and every other staple article of bnr country, all combine in giving the He to Federal predictions.. Those who. were decoyed from their fealty to the Democratic party last fall, by the silly stories of the Federalists, hive discovered their error, and cannot again be deceived by V Roorback stories." Hundreds in this county—and indeed inov ory county—who voted with tha Federalists last fall, wiU this fall vote for “ honest FRANK SHUNK."— The cry of u ruin, ruin, 1 * has. cessed to frighten even the old women—it is lost in the busy hum of industry —lt has ceased to be heard, and with it will cease the hopes of Federalism in this State. - Let the people remember, that' lames Irvin* the Fe dcral candidate for Governor, when in Con gress voted for the BANKRUPT LAW—a curse to the Country, and a DISGRACE to IfiQ people f . That ho voted for a lax on every fftpnd of TEA and COFFEE the poor man used, la the time of peace 1 • That he was a participator in the outrageous HIT NER and STEVANS fraud in 1838, having import ed 1000 Voters who had no legal right to vole 1 'Thai he ran as a candidate for COUNTY-AUDI TOR in 1835 and was DEFEATED. Tho people who voted against him knew him.! That he was a candidate for Major Genera) and was DEFEATED ! The people knew him! That ho was twice a candidate for Congress and was each time DEFEATED by large majorities!— The people know him. That ho Is an ARISTOCRAT, worth $500,000 and has no necessity forilio office or tho salary.— His only object la to gain office, so that he and his priends may plunder still more. IRVIN AGAINST JACKSON* Gen. Irvin the federal eandidato for governor was not only noted for his opposition, to Gen. Jackson f e Administration, but for his PERSONAL ABUSE of him as a man. Even after the venerab.o old man had retired from public lifb and sought repose si the Hermitage in Tennessee, this same Gen. Irvin at tempted (o render unhappy his declining years. Du ring the three sessions of the federal Congress which came into power with Gen. Harrison in 1841, Mr. Irvin voted ini various ways and forms, as the Journ als will show, against refunding to Gen. JACKSON, the fine imposed upon him by Judge Hall, during his successful and brilliant defence of Now Orleans.— The Country with one voice demanded the remission 1 of the Iniquitous fine, yet such was the hostility of ‘ Gen. Irvin and his federal brethren, that they refused to permit the bill to pass ; and but for the fortunate interposition of a subsequent Democratic Congress, 1 the Hero of Now Orleans would have gone down to K the grays, with tho foul blot affixed to his character, by the tyranica'l decision of a Federal Judge. THB PERVADING FEELING. From all quarters of tho county we are gratified to hear of the unanimity and harmony which per vodes tho Democratic parly. Individual preferences are surrendered on tho altar of principles. Tho de* termination to yield an acquiescence in the regular nominations of tho party, whether for county or Stale offices, U wide spread. No Democrat can expect to retain-the confidence or reaped of his brethren, unless he supports (he nominations of hit party. If ho has been disappoin ted bimiclftjo much the greater hie magnanimity in obeying tho fairly made nominations; and soon er or later, (ho masses of the party do not forget such honorable conduct. Our Improvameuti, Frugal management and an increased and incroas. ing trade, have placed (ho pubtio improvements of Pennsylvania In such a condition, that liillo or no apprehension is now fell as tu tho ability of our Stale fully and promptly to meet all her engagements. The following statement of tolls collected on (he State-Canals and Railroads was prepared by Mr. Thos.L. Wilson, Secretary of Bord of Canal Com. mlsslonors 1— In August, 1847, In August, 1846, Increase August,' 1847, Total amount of Tolls received ftotn Deo 1, 1846, to Sept. 1847, 61,311,373 09 Same period last year, 847,201 58 Increase In 1847, $364,171 51 It is estimated that the total tolls this yeas will exceed fifteen hundred thousand dollars—an Increase eflhirly-tliressnd one thrrd per cent-compared with the receipts of 164G* QC? The Whigs say they nvo not opposed to the war, but if they ate so fortunate as to elect over* a Road Supervisor they cfo/m it as evidence of the nn* popularity of the war.

Scott’s army in. Mexico, brought by the steam ship Fashion, Captain O'Brady, just orrived from Yera<3ruz’via Tampico, . She left Vera Crux on tho 37th of August, and Tampico on tho 2Dth.' Tho news by tins arrixd is the most, important that wo have received in many months from Mexico. Our army has not only advanced to the city .of Mexico, but it. Ims had two engagements with the enemy,* close under the' wails of the city, and defeat ed them. . • The Mexicans have been brought to supplicate a suspension of arms, and Geh. Scott has granted it. The Mexican Congress has been convened to take into consideration Mr. Trial’s proposition. Tho news was rcceivcd'at Vera Crux on the eve ning of tho 26th nit., by an express courier from Orizaba. Another express arrived in VcraCruz on the 20lh, with letters containing tho same nows in substance, and tho following translation of the announcement of it in tho Diario Official dol Gdbiorno: - Translated from tho Diarlo OflWialdcl Gobicrno. On the 20lh August who intended marching on Penon, turneult and arrived near Ta cubayo. As soon as tbonows was Mexico, Valencia’s division went out to attack tho Americans at Los Liunos do San Angel, and was completely routed. Noxl came Santa Anna with another divi sion, which shared the same fate, after some fight- mg. The Mexicans lhc capital in great disor der, and such was the panic created by their defeat, that the Minister of Foreign Relations immediately invoked tho Congress to take into consideration Mr. Trial’s proposition. A suspension of arms was de manded by tho Mexicans, and granted, Tho Ameri cans are around Mexico, but had .not entered the city on the 31st. Such orb tho motrffro details wd have, ol these im portant events. No couriers from General Scott’s army direct have hgnn able to got through, so far as we can learn. DuCTrom the foregoing statement it is manifest that Gen. Scott holds the city of Mexico at his command; that not choose to enter the city is manifest. He Was doubtless deterred from entering it by a desire to save the pride of the Mexi cans, when upon tho eve of important negotiations. It is now supposed that the extraordinary courier which loft Vera Cruz for Mexico on the 12lh ult., a day in advance of the regular English courier, was the bearer of instructions to the British minister to offer Again his meditation—and we thiqk we may safely say that he was instructed to do sd, if possible, before General Scott entered tho capital. Wo believe the instructions were positive, and no doubt they were obeyed. Tho following letter gives some facts that we have not before seen, though news promptly reached here of the insurrection in Yucatan. Correspondence of the Picayune. , Gentlemen—On Sunday last the city was startled with intelligence from Yucatan (hat .the whole In dian population of that State had risen against the whites, and in tomo districts massacred entirely the white population, with tho exception of the women, whom they only spared for a fate still worse than death. - ~ The news was received here by the French Counsel in from the French Counsul, at Campeachy,and the massacre lie says was universal, no destineti.on being made except between Indians and whites. In some of the districts the whites have succeeded in reacbingtbe cities and were there wait ing succor. There is good reason to hope, these will bo able to defend themselves until they are rein forced. At Catnpeachy they Were in expectation ol an immediate attack. The French brigs of war La Pcrouso and La .Filalo have, it is understood, both rboon qrdered to Campcncby, and there is a report that Cororobdorc Perry Is about ordering down one of tho vessels of our squadron. There Is, perhaps, some exaggeration In tho ac counts of the extent of the massacre, but of tho main facta there is not a doubt The Indians in Yucatan iiavc heen more oppressed than in any part of Mexi co, because the landholders arc generally absentees residing in Spain,and trust the management of their, estates to stewards, who, to subserve.their own inte rests, grind the unfortunate Peon to the dust. An express arrived here on Tuesday from Alvara do to Commodore Perry, will: information that tho guerrillas had attacked that place tho night before,- and killed o surgeon and two marines in that town. The steamers Pctrila and Scorpion were immediately despatched to reinforce those in possession of tho placo. Bloodiest battle yet fought —77i« Americans Victorious —32,000 Mexicans, 7000 Americans Engaged — Mexican loss 5000—American loss nearly 1000— An Armistice agreed upon—Meeting of the Com-. miseionsrs> Despatches for tho government have this moment been received. Tljq intelligence heretofore,received is fully confirmed. TV On tho 20lh ult., the American forces, consisting of 7000 men, met tho enemy at Cnibasco* three or four mllos from tho capital. Tho Mexicans wore 39,- 000 strong, and posted behind an immense battery of heavy artillery. After two hours bloody conflict, our gallant troops swept every thing before them mainly at (ho point ofitho bayonet. The American loss was less than, a thousand, while that of tho Mexicans Is estimated at-five thousand, and amongst the killed are many distinguished men, both Generals and ci rilliana. . p An armistice was agreed upon, and five commis sioners appointed on the Mexican side et the head of whom was Herrera.

JAUKs Buciikna.v, in reply to an in vitation on tho part of the Democracy of Berks coun ty, to the Harvest Home recently held at Reading* In the language of a colomporary," It is a production that speaks for itself. Written on the most interest* ing subject, it willcommand attention by tho clear ness and power with which (hat subject is discussed —a subject, let us add, which has assumed a most serious, if not mombntous, aspect." . . Washington,42s August, 1847. Gentleukk : I have been honored by the receipt of your kind invitation to unite with tho Democracy of Old Berks in their'Harvcst Homo celebration, to be held at Reading, on Saturday the .28lh instant;— I should esteem it both a pleasure and a privilege to be present on that interesting occasion; It is therefore with regret I have to tnfbrm.you, that my public du ties during (ho present week will render this impos sible. I rejoice la observe that tho glorious Democracy of “Old Berks".are buckling on their armor, and preparing for the approaching contest. It is long since my native Slate election has involved such.im portant consequences for tho Democracy of the Uni. on, as tha approaching election for Governor of Pennsylvania. On its result may probably depend tho ascendancy of tho Democracy of tho Union for years to.come. Hence our Democratic brethren of other States are witnessing tho contest with intense anxiety. The field is a fair one; our candidate well trird, able.and honest; and he has been regularly nominated by the party. Should ho bo defeated, the attempt will be vain to explain tho decision of the ballot-boxes, in any other manner than by. admitting that the Whigs have the majority. Our candidate for Canal Commissioner is also, above all 'reproach, both porsonolly and politically, and is eminently qualified for tho duties of that important office. If, under such circumstances, the DempcralicKeystono should give way, there is groat danger that tho arch may tumble into pieces. In this contest, emphati cally, he tlml >1 not for us is cgalnst us. Ido not apprehend defeat, unless our wilcy foe should first lull us into security by making no extraordinary pub lic efforts; and then, at the eleventh hour, quietly quiotly itcfcl a march upon us, as they have done in some other States. Our vigilenco ought to bo constantly on tho alert, until the moment of vic tory. ‘ , ' The question of slavery, in one of its ancient os poets, Hub recently revived and threatens to convulse the country. The Democratic party of the Union ought to prepare themselves in lime for the approach ing storm. Their best security, in tho hour of dan ger, is to cling fast to their time-honorod principles. A sacred regard for tho Federal constitution, and tor the reserved rights of the States, Is basis on which the.parly can alone qafoly rest. This has saved us from tho inroads of abolition. North ern Democrats ore not expected to approve slavery in the abstract: but they owo It in themselves, ns they value the Union, ond all tho political blessings which bountifully flow from it, to obtdo by the com promises of tho constitution, ond leave the question, whore 1 Hut instrument has left it, to llicStalc« where in.ilavcry exists. Our. fathers have made this agree, mcnl with their brethren of tho South: and it is not for the dccondanls of cither party, in tho present gen alion, to cancel this solemn compact. Tho abolitionists, by their efforts to annul it, have* arrested the natural progress of emancipation and done great injury to the slaves themselves. After Louisans, was acquired from Franco by Mr. Jefferson, ond when tho Stalo of Missouri, which constituted a part of it, was about to bo admitted in to (ho Union, tho Missouri.question arose, and in Us progress threatened the dissolution of the Union.— Tins was settled by the men of thb last generation, as other important and dangerous questions have been settled, in & spirit of mutual concession. Un. dor the Missouri compromise, slavery was “forever prohibited" north of the parrnllul of 36° 30'5 and south of (his parallel the question was loft to bo de cided by tho people. Congress In tho ndmssion of Texas; following in (ho footsteps of their predeces sors, adopted the same rule; and in my opinion, tho harmony of tho Status, and ovon tho security of tho Unjon itHclft require that the tine of tho Missouri cptnpromibo should bo oxtonled to any new territory which wo acquire from Mexico. . I should entertain (ho same opinion, oven If it wore certain that (his would become a serious practical question ; but (hat it never can bo thus .considered, must bo evident to all who havo attentively examin ed (ho subject Neither the soil, tho climate, nor tho productions of (hat portion of Culifornla;soulli of 36° 3(T nor in deed of any portion of it, North or Soath, Is adapted to slave labor{ and besides every facility would bo, there afforded to (ho slave to escape from.his master Such property would be utterly insecure In any part of Caif/ornio. It is mortally Impossible, therefore, that a majority of (Ho emigrants to that portion of tho territory south of 36° 3T which will bo chiefly composed of our fellow-citizens from tho Eastern, Middle, and Western States, will ever re-establish slavery within its limits. In regard (0 Now Mexico east of (ho Rio Grande, tho question has been al. ready settled by the admission of Tcxos into tho Union. Should wo acquire territory beyond (ho Rib Grandoj and oast of the Rocky Mountains, it is still .more. Improbable that a majority of the people of that to* ' gion would conscnt to re-establish slavery. They are, themselves, in a large proportion, a colored pop ulation; and among them, thd negrodocs not social ly belong to a dogradcd'iacc. ’ i .The question is, therefore, not oho of practical importance. Its agitation, however honestly inten ded, can produce no ©fleet but Cn alienate tlio.peo ple of dlrtbrentporllons of the Union flom each oilier; to excite sectional divisions ami jealousies; arid"to | distract and possibly destroy the Democratic party, * on the ascendancy of whoso principles'and measured depends, as.l firmly believe, the success of our grand experiment of selfgovernment. Such has been my individual opinions, openly and freely expressed, ever since the commencement of the preaepi unfortunate agitation ; and of all places irr (h<o world,.l prefer to put them on record before tbs' incorruptible Democracy of Old Berks, I, there*, fore,',beg leave ,to offer you the following senli* tnent■ /, Tlif. Mistouri Compromise: —lts adoption In 1020 «javed the Union from the threatened convulsion.— Its extension iu 1848 lo ony new territory which we may acquire, wil secure tho like happy result.
