well merited as it has boon freely bestowed, and au
gurs well for the future harmony of the democracy of
(his-Congressional district. .
Mr. M'JjaNaiian resides in Cliambcrsburg, and is
well Unown to the Democracy of old Mother. Cum.

the Senate of this Stale, for the term of three years,
and well and faithfully did bo perform his duties.—

pride to hia immediate constituents, but I 9 the entire
democracy of Pennsylvania. An able and ready de
bater, his views'were always sound and reliable, and
inspired the' confidence of the Democratic party in
nO’ordinary degree, .
• During the time, of Mr. M’Lanahan’s services in
the Pennsylvania Senate, much difficulty and embar
rassment were felt in pur Stale affairs, both as to the
ozlcnl and burthen of our publicdobt, and the best
moans to bo devised to pay the, interest and gradual*
ly liquidate the principle, so os to preserve untarnish
ed our public credit. 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

JUDGE DONGSTJIETIDS ADDRESS.
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. .

VOTE THE WHOLE TICKET!
. Innumerable falsehoods will, os usual, bo circulated
by the Federalists against some of the gentlemen on
the Democratic Ticket, on tho eve of the election,
ond we caution our friends not to bo deceived by
them. Tho candidates of the Democratic party ore
□ll “good men and true,” and every way worthy

MANY,
O'Wo understand that Mr. M’Clurb, one of tho
Fedora) candidates for Assembly, is trying to sate
himself from an ignominious defeat, by attempt*
InJ to, prejudice the people against Messrs. Lumber
ton and Lcfcvor, for having; during tho last session
of tho Legislature, supported a law fur making a now
road, to run through North Middleton township—
Having learned some time since (hat tho Federalists
were attempting to make a Uitlo capital buti of this 1
1 road law, wc fell a curiosity to know who the signors!
lo tho petition asking for tho road wero. Wo wrote!
to a Wend at Harrisburg, onlho subject, who sent!
us ti copy of the petition and tho names of tho peti-|
tinners, The petition is worded in strong language,|
and is signed by about 400 responsible men—a Urge
majority of tho signors being Wuias! Wills others
wc find the name of our neighbor E. BEATTY, edi
tor of tho Iltnild. And yol the said editor has tho
face to urgo the people to vote ogninsl Messrs. Lam*
berton and Lofavre, because, ho says, they voted
H»r a bill for which E. Buully, and a majority of the
Whigs of Curlixlo petitioned! On the petition may
also bo seen the names of the Biddles, Nobles, Walt*

Weaver, Geo. A. Lyuo, Win. M. Porter, A, A. Lino,

wo era prepared to give., The Whigs, therefore,
should bo (ho last to open their mouths concerning
(his law, for a largo majority of (he signers praying
for said law, belong to the Whig or Federal party.
But, we have been (old by a friend who has examined
the Journals, ifial Mr.Lamberlondid not veto for
said bill at all, and that U passed without his vote.
So wo think that gun is spiked. Mr. M'Cluro must

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 meeting, indeed, was very largo and en

sturdy Democrats. ■ Tho democracy of Silver Spring
