It is General Cass and a Democratic administration of.lho affairs of llio General Government,'on tho ono ■ side, and General Ta»lor .disarmed.of the veto pow« cf » giving - free sonpo io a Federal Congress, lore-on act all the qld t exploded ahd condemned measures, on the other. It is Democracy jn itapiurity on une.sido, and Federalism in itawor'ot Toim. on the other. *v Wo, : who,believe ip lho s oapacity'of Ihrfpeople fori aolCgovcrnmenf, wli.b aW>illing to entrust die' jieo. l plo willf all tho power that is. legitimately their’s ' under our glorious constitution, should bo careful to prevent the calamity which would befui the country, wero those who treat the constitution.as a wisp of straw,'(6 obtain the ascendency. Let the party of tho. people, the Democracy.of the nation, stand by their old wulchßres, and keep them over burning.— We have a glorious form of government, and should be careful‘while we recognize tho/orm, to maintain the substance. t Let us guard against a national bank, a high protective tariff, a distribution of the proceeds of life sales of the public lands, and.a system of internal improvement by tho General Go verhment, us .dangerous to the rights of the people. They nre measures which will enrich tho few and rob the many. They are measures, which would in a few years consolidate and centralize tho powers of.the Ge neral Government; until the Slates and the people would find themselves slaves to ft heartless and selfish money oligarchy, as. odious and tyrannical as the go* vornment of the' British, isles, which treads down with the' iron heel of despotism the rights of .its own sub* jocls, which drives the Chartists of England, end the Repealers of Ireland, tho Democracy of those lands, tu the'cavcs and the mountains, to protect themselves from the storm of offended royally that hovers over (hem. Let us bowore too that wobonotcountcnanc. ing measures, winch will render if worth as much as our lives to proclaim tho rights of man, and breathe forth the spirit of liberty. We ore no alarmists—but tho knottiest oak of tho- forest that, is split by tho skillful woodsman, is first penetrated by fbo entering I wedge—and the refined web ol governmental oppros-1 sion will' not be woven in a dny, (hit bo the labor of j / time, commenced with (lie greatest care, and prose*' culed with unremitting diligence and skill. Let us then beware of the first false step in tho downward path—let us gound the alarm qt tho first approach of danger. Elect Taylor and Fillmore, and you strike down the arm of tho people, the veto power, wielded by tho only man who is tho representative of tho whole people, and render us subject to a legislative absolutism, os domineering and os dangerous as that oxbrclscd by the parliament of England. Elect Cass and Butler and you preserve unimpaired the consti tution of our country, with all its inimitable checks and .balances, and .which..the experience of sixty years and upwards has shown so well calculated to promote tho greatest happiness and prosperity to the masses. It . is. for you to choose which course you will pursue. In our State politics, tho issue is equally manifest, and you will have litlje difficulty in coming tu.the correct'conclusion.. On.the one side you have Mor-' ills Loncbtkth and Israel Paiivter, who are pledged to a Democratic lino of policy, and are honest, capa. bio and deserving men—and on the other you have William F. Jounstq.n and Ner Middleswartii, with a bust of fresh banks asking the forms of legal enact ment to coin money t and the’ mismanagement of the public improvements worthy of the palmiest days of theßitner administration. Choose ye between them also, in making up. your decision , in casting your suffrages. You have to decide whether the policy commenced by Froncis R.Shunk, sanctioned at the last election by a majority of nearly 16,000 voles.of the people of this Commonwealth, and pursued with steady hand and firm purpose, until his spirit winged its flight io a better world,'is to bocontlnucd or abandoned—whether wo ore to advance or. go back ward in the. work of relbrrn—whether woare to keep pace with the progressiva spirit of the age, or sell our birth right for a pottage. Trust not to Federal policy! “The voice is tho voice of Jacob, but the hands are the hands of Esau.” many. To the Democracy ofpld Mother Cumberland we would say —maintain your cherished principles.— Look back to the days when the first Democratic Convention met irt solemn council at Stony Ridge. The danger is as eminent mw, as it wastAen. You have the same principles to contend against'now that your forefathers had then. True, they may be ad. vonecd with less violence and more plausibility, but their tendency is the same. Repeated defeat and discomfiture may render their advocates less intoler ant and insolent, but give them the power, and espe cially the long exercise of it, and the battle would have to bo fought over again, with less chances of success. Wo repeat then, stand fust by your colors! KEEP VP THIS FIRE! The meeting of Ihe Carlisle Democratic Club, on Saturday evening Inst, was a very large and enthu •iaslicgalhering. Scveralshnrt but anlmatcdspeochcs were made, and the best feeling prevailed. The De mocracy ofCarllslo wore never in better spirits than nt present—never more certain of n triumphant vic tory.. Tho Club will hold another meeting at Green's Hotel, on next Saturday evening. Keep up the fire, boy*—hold meetings, and expose the rottenness of Federalism.

We rotnbnibor reading in -3300 p, (d j favorite work of Gen, Taylor’s,) of a good man who j found a serpent chilled almost to death, lying on the jfrozen ground. - His sympathies were.excilcd for its miserable condition, and ho tooh-it up, placed it in his Warnied it Into life'.* By virtue of the animation which :ho restored, it slung him to tbo heart. ...Does Mr, Beatty, understand the application to himself individually, and to theparty >whose organ he professes to be? Dues he see in the fable bis own vile hypocrisy anddngralilude, and the ingratitude and hypocrisy of the Whigs? ’j In a word, tho road, they attempt to use as an in strument, to gut the throats of bur members, is & Whig roaU-rg ot up by Whigs- —with the majority of (he signers to the petition Whigs . It. contains the names of all the leaders of the party t all the Whig Lawyers in town , and tbo name of E. BEATTY 1 — Let the veil be torn from the.unblushing face of de ceil—lot its deformity bo exposed. . Wo have now in our possession, a certified copy of the petition and tho names. There lore 336 names, 1 ONE UUNIiREO AND SEVENTY-EIGHT of IIICSO QfO known 1 prominent Whigs —which is a majority of twenty over i all o'her signers, The politics -of many of the others included in tho minority we do not know, but presume that many of them also nre Whigs. > We stand further prepared to-prove, that Joseph (W. Patton; (who not long since the Whigs will re member having run us their candidate for Canal Commissioner,) joined, as we are'.informed, by the Messrs. Nobles, who are all Whigs, got up lJ»b,*pcll lion for the road, and carried tt round personally, and procured the signatures. The petition sots out, that tho petitioners "labor under great tneoncsntenee for want of a road to cross ; the North Mountain nt Crain’s Gap, and they re spectfully ask that a law be passed directing a road to be opened from.the,hand board near Wise’s Bridge in North Middleton township, Cumberland county by way of Crain’s Gap, to Abraham Lambcrton’e Saw Mill, in Carrot township, Perry county, at the expense of said counties.' 1 Remember, this, was the petition of E. BEATTY, and the Whig leaders i In speaking of tho great advantages to be derived from suchii road, the petition states that Waggoner’s and Slcrrctl’a Gaps arc too far ofi,and Dial “Longvl Gap, situated between the .two, cannot bepassed in safety with loaded waggons'or carriages of any kind, nor can it be made a good road owing to its bad loca tion.” Remember , that E. BEATTY, and the Whig loaders urged this plea, in their prayer for the new road 1 Tho polhlon further sets forth, that “the eooleni pluted road, if made, mil give access to six miles ex tent on the lop of the North Mountain, which is wit covered with timber , and along which waggons can pass with ease." ifcmembrr, that it ia E, BEATTY urges this great advantage as an argument upon the Legislature in favor of the new road! The.petition further sets forth that «It will enable many farmers In Perry county to get to the Carlisle market with lumber, produce and marketing, thereby benefiting the citizens of both counties." Remember. that It wasE, BEATTY, Robl. Noble, Joseph W ‘ Pulton, Fred’k. Walts, John D. Parker, L. G. Bran debury, Wm. M. Penrose, Edward M. Biddlc. Jolm ' Reed, Rob», M. F/anUerson, Wm. M. Biddle, Gc6. A. Lyon, Wm. M. Porter, Thos. 11. Criswell, John J. .Myers, Atigus. A; Lyne, James Hoffer, with 163 other prominent Whigs, that urged these, and.all tho fore going reasons, in fuvorofthe road-treasons sufficient for the road if true,—but brandingl7B Whigs, and among them E. BEATTY, with falsehood, ifnol true. Let Mr. Beatty answer this. Ho has courted (he Issue —*now.lel Inin meet it. ■ - This was the petition, and these tho names, with many others, in furor of the road. Let any honest man therefore, ask himself—what were our members to do? They wore sent to reprefirit the wishes of their constituents— it Was therefofgfyHf:duty to lay it before the Legislature—and bchJg the only thing indicating the wishes of the majority of their con- Btituenls, they had no alternative (o vole for the passage oftho bill, if they voted at all.- But they did not vole for it. They determined to leave it to those entirely disinterested, who seeing no objections to the bill, passed it. All that our morriburs did was to lay tho petition before the House, which was an im perative duty. But, now the serpent has been warmed—he has got life and all that is desirable, and ho returns the kindness by slinging hib benefactors to tho heart.— Now, when Mr. Beatty has got the road he asked and prayedfor with so mucli earnestness, ho turns round and calls it, as in last week's Herald, *• Tho Tape, worm Bovivcd"—comparing his own road with another which is destined to bo (ho monument of Whig extravagance, folly and corruption, and which woa the curse of Rltnor’s administration. It was an unfortunate comparison. Mr. Boa tty appeals to tho “taxpayers," and speaks of Messrs. Lambcrton and Lofovro regarding Lambcrton’* Saw Mill, as “one of the moil Important Interests of the county.** In the Herald ofihe 23d of August he speaks of lids road being a proof that our members were recreant “to the interests of (he county.** • Yes! After his r own prayer for tho road, sotting out great and various • advantages to result from It, and In express words ' declaring '• that it would benefit the citizens of both • counties!" is better to retain the human character,Tor fear of tailing .

Only know of one instance in whic'h the clfardctei l of Godliness woe voluntarily thrown off t tb bo a devil—and that was in Satan himself' «WILL HD RESIGNI» Nearly every JFcderal.papdr we pick up is disking theqneatiou—•“ Will Morris Lonostreth resign his office of ConhJ Commissioner Oar opponents ap pear anxious for an answer to the question, and We have .concluded to gratify them. Morris Lonostubtii will not resign*- the people do not wish him to resign. Wliilo the Federal sbin*plasler candidate for Govern- or is making speeches in different counties, and bog. ging (he votes of the people, travelling at their ex pente, and neglecting the duties for: which he is paid, Morris Lonqbtrbth is. quietly attending to the du tics of his office at Harrisburg. .His sense, of duty forbids Mm to go about from county to county taak« ing speeches and electioneering, bn the peoples uon. kv'l He is fulfilling the duties 'of .Canal Commie, sionor, an office to which he was elected by 18,000 majority, and he will continue to disoliargo the du.i ties of that office until the people call for his services In a still more important capacity. Resign indued 1 Who has asked Morris Lonqstreth to resign 7 No no, ho Will 4o no such thing. But, now dare the'Federalists say one word in ref* erenco to Mr. LoNUBTEfn’s present position.. In the language of a cotemporory, the solicitude of our Fed* oral opponents on this subject is wholly feigned and gratuitous—as a few illustrious examples will testify. In 1841 they nominated John Banks Governor, who at the time was in the discharge ofhiscommis. sion as President Judge of the judicial district com* posed of the counties of Berks, Northampton and Lehigh. He accepted the nomination and stood the canvass— but he’did not resign his Judgeship*. Had he been elected, he would, of course, have continued on the bead),.until his commission was vacated by his taking the oath of office as Govornor.and then he would hare appointed his successors frot a whisper of dissatisfaction was over heard from the Whig ranks at (his proceeding. But there is another and yet more recent and more remarkable example.. Gen.. Taylor now holds a milita* ry commission in the service of the United States— that of a Major General In the army—a lips office worth In salary and rations about $6OOO per onnuml Ho is also a candidate for the Presidency of the Uni. ted Slates! The two offices are strictly incompatible, as the one is Immediately subordinate to the other, the latter constituting the incumbent the Commander* In chief of the Army, and* Navy, to whoso orders the other is required to yield instant and implicit obe. dienco, making the parrollei oven much stronger than in the case of the Governor and Canu) Commissioner And yet Gen. Taylor does not resign lilt ojjice of Ma jor General, and the federal press do not call him to account for it! Now, It is and old adage that every man Should sweeps before his own door, leaving alone his neighbors. Another adage saith: “ People living in glass houses ought hot to amuse themselves in. throwing stones." Ahdjhe good book -reproves us for discovering the mole in our brother** eye, Whilst we overlook the beam in our own, ' Before, the Federal newspapers and orators, therefore, say one ward in derogation of Morris Longstreth’s continuance in the Canal Board, let thorn reflect upon the refusal of John Banks to resign his Judgeship, and lot them Call upon General Taylor to surrender bis commission as Major Gener al—or, in default thereof, hold their peace forever of* ter, J. • ‘ WHIG BLASPHEMY.
