No . show—no noise—no public meetings—so that they may lull the Democrats to sleep under the belief that nothing is doing on their part; Jvhen at the spmo time they have secretly >nd Bteollhily completed a most thorough organization of their forces in every .Borough,Township, and County of the Stale;’ Where holVingelaowlllanswerthcir purpose, they, will; resort to iheirusual ‘appliance of money; and ;try. by. bribery an<d corruption to the object of their desires. And we now advise our Democratic" friends, that 'such is the effectual organi- 1 zalibn of oiir political oppbnchte, thatnos a single; VVhig votcr in, Cumberland.counly '.will bb left at home on thedayof the election. : Wo know that this arrangement is already completed by the Federalists, and.wo wanvour Democratic friends to be. on the alert, if they wiahto save the Democratic ticket from | defeat. j . ■/.{' \ l ■ iThqrcis vastly more at stake in this election, than, some of our friends think of. RccolJcct,;that in, ad: ditioh to the Govcrnor.w.o have a Canal Commissio* ner to elect. The Whigs have already one member; and shouhl they, by the supinenbss of the Democrats, elect another—the whole, patronage and influence of the Canal Board will pass at once to tho Federalists, and oar Public Works will thcn bo modo a lrcmea ! dbus political engine to operate against the Demo- I era tic parly in its future contests- Besides; all this lit.would require years of unremlllifig toil, on, the part, ; of the Democrats to wrest the sceptre of power from the death-grasp of,Federalism. So, 100, of our own County. Tho Whigs have already one County Commissioner and one Director of tho Poor.. Lot lho:Dcmocrn(s permit them'Jo elect another member (breach! Board, and. then r fare* well to the patronage and influence of the It posses at onco into the hands of the Federalists, and we all know very well that they will bsc the , means'placed at their disposal to perpetuate their 1 power. . . ’.• ’ . - In view of these things—rof such vast importance to tho future welfare of the party—pre earnestly urge upon our Democratic friendi in every .section oftlio county to be up and doing. ■ There is not now a moment to spare. See to it that every .Democrat in every nook and corner of the county bo brought out on election day. Have carriages and wagons prepar ed to bring tho. poor, tho aged and infirm to the polls. Let the leading and active men in each Township see to these things. It is a matter ofvast importance, arid upon such extraordinary exertions, In our opin ion, depends tho success of our ticket. ‘ Knowing the immense exertions of the Federalists, and apprehen* ding danger to tho Democratic party from supinoncss and an ovcr.confidence in our strength, we have thus warned our friends of tho danger.. To be forewarned is lobe forearmed—and wo are sure, when.all! are made acquainted with (ho danger, no .Democrat will suffer himself to bo 4i taught napping"- at this highly important crisis. AROUSE,then —AROUSE FROM YOUR LETHARGY! 33* Wb wish our Democratic friends to boar In mind that the Federalists arc,very confidently boast ing that they will carry’ theiMicket at the election—• especially,do they calculate oh electing the County Comnutiontr and Director of the Poor, And lb effect this end they directing all their energies, .and uscing overy-means, as well foulas fair., Their can didate for Commissioner is making it a persons! mat ter, and is busily engaged, day and night, in solicit ing votes omong tho. Democrats, not only for him self,, but-also for tho Director of the Poor. . Tho oln jeel of his solicitude tb obtain tho office is easily dl. vined; and it behooves our Democratic friends to be up and doing, if they Wish to save tho county from Clio clutches of Federalism. Recollect that every vote will count, and it js all important that every Democratic vote in the county should bo polled. Now, although our information from every section of tho county is highly encouraging, still bur friends should not rest satisfied that they have done all they could do, until the polls close on. tho evening of the elec tion, with every democratic vote in every borough and township polled. This is (ho duty of the parly, and in discharging (his duty fully and energetically, to the very letter, can they calculate with a certain ly upon victory. GOV, SUCK’S VETOES. Look at.lho Stale of Maryland, says the Bedford Gazelle, where the Federal’ parly, have had every thing In their own way, and where they have no Dom- 1 ocrallc Governor Ur veto their infamousbills.

This is tho same celabi lishment where the Federal tickets wgro printed with calico backs in 1844, and tho workmen compelled,; by (heir tyrannical employers, to vote them. Now these same workmen sre cheated out of their wages; for tho officers of the corporation, with an Indepcn*, donee peculiar to that class of men, have told the' hands thst payment will not bo made. All their debts aro repudiated in the same way, to the amount of several millions of dollars—somo for money, loan* cd to them—some for produce furnished by the Far# mers—some for merchandize—some for building ina* tsrials—and an Infinite number’ of debts, largo and small, to the men who labored for them. What makes this hardesl.of all for an honest, man to look upon is iho fact, that tho Corporators—the men who have had the, benefit of all this business, and who liavo coined money—aro among tho richest men in * the United States J While they are wallowing in lux ■ ury, and living in splendor, their cheated and insul i ted creditors orp in a condition approaching toabao.

This took every body by surprise, and much, speculation has been afloat in the public mind ever since as to the qauso of this trench, cry to Mr. Mullen, who, by the way, is a very clever man and estimable citizen. Mr.M. certainly, from the Influence andoxcrllons ho has heretofore used to promote tho success ofWhiggcry, deserved belter at (heir hands, than to be thus unceremoniously thrust aside to make room for a man who had already re ceived his full share olTavors from the party; But this is of a piece with (he.double dealing and treachery of tho Federal leaders in this Borough, and should tcabli the honcst portion of that parly what little reliance can bo placed in their,, professions. The same Fod. oral caucus, after getting Mr. Kennedy nominated for Senator, set to work, and, without consulting the people, or reassembling tho County Convention, bad the name of James Weakley, of Dickinson, placed upon their ticket for Director of the Poor—thus, if possible, inflicting a double injury upon Mr. Mullen. Such is Federalism. Our Patriotic .Volvntkxril—Wo perceive by the I Ohio papers that tho volunteers of that Stale lately 1 returned from Mexico, celebrated the anniversary of tho victory of Monterey, at Dayton.
