Mr. M’Lanahan, during this trying period, supported measures of the most strin gent economy for reducing llio expenses of theCbm-: monwcallh, and was particularly zealous to maintain inviolate our plighted faith. Since the expiration of his official.term ho has devoted himself to . the du ties of his profession as a lawyer, and .Is well known in that culling to have what arc termed, in'tho right sense,‘Mroops of friends.” Wd may therefore congratulate the democracy of this county on this happy selection ofa candidate for Congress, and huvo.no doubt of his election over the [present Ine/ficicnt member, Jasper E.

On our first page will be found the able address of the Hon, Moaais Lonqbtrbth, before the Jefferson ville Agricultural Society of Montgomery County, delivered in 1847. Its length should not preclude our readers from giving it a careful and at tentive porusa). . It contains much valuable informa tion, conveyed in easy and chaste language, which may be of immense service to the fanners of this rich valley. The science of agriculture has heretofore attracted 100 little attention in this county, but a growing interest Is manifesting itself, by means of uur Agricultural Assooiatipn. We have as fertile land in Cumberland valley as lies in the Stale, and it is as much entitled to the appellation of the. "gar den spot of Pennsylvania” as is the county of Lsn. KOur land is of the very best quality, but bur cncrally speaking, arc 100 Jarge, and arc, in' stances, tilled with too little care. Many of is contain as high as two hundred and fifty ami tfirco hundred acres. ■ In' the opinion of many intelligent farmers, this is 100 much to be farmed to advantage, and such farms should be divided, and perhaps subdivided. Look at the instance of Mr,- Jacob. Sheimer, of Northampton county, mentioned by Judge Lougstrclh, having a farm of only one hundred acres, and yet producing yearly 1400 bushels bf,wheal, 600 bushels of corn, arid 300 bushels of rye, by rpcans of proper and careful cultivation. I Judge is a practical farmer himself, and as ho appears to understand the affairs of his farm so wet), the people will no doubt entrust him with the interests of the Commonwealth. Ho is so good a farmer that ho will evidently make a most excellent Governor. . winter, iIOCRAT- Reeling ofilie Mtldspk Ware- LfcrT.

Tlio friends of Cass, Boiler, LongsUeth, and Pain; tor, pursuant 16 notice given, hold a meeting at Hogestbvyn, bn Saturday list, and erected TWO splendid Hickory Poles—the ono at Ducy’s and the other at Grier’s hotel—each polo measuring over 100 feet above tho ground, with beautiful streamers floa* ling at the lop of each, bearing the names of Iv Cass, Butler and LoNasTitKTif.'' Tho unconquerable de mocracy of old Silver Spying turned out in their strength, and many, from adjacent townships were also in attendance. Carlisle sent a delegation of over, fifty.

The Demo cratic party, entertaining such views, Invite others to unite .with them in sustaining and disseminating them. From former results wo feel satisfied that a great majority of tho voters of this county sustain similar view, arid ‘really' think it strange, the would bo patriots (Whigs,) flutter themselves in being able lo make conversions from our parly, sufficient to change tho control of our now prosperous, country, and thereby place the management of-lhc government in their hands, who have on all occasions, when tried, shown themselves incompetent to the tusk.
