We hope not* They have used proscription lo the grca»

critical.professions to the contrary until (hey obtained
power* They- have chopped off every man's head
that they could reach by their Federal Ouillotin *, and
we see no reason why. they should be gratified by a
voluntary surrender on the part of Democrats of
stations of public trust into then hands. Judge La
ro&T is a good officer—faithful to his duties—and he
is placed in a position which he can hold under the
laws of this Commonwealth for the term 'of three
years from the date of his appointment. Ho -was
placed there also by the great and good .Gov. Siiunr,
whose administration was sustained by an overwhelm
ming majority of the freemen of this commonwealth.
. Let him then fulfil his trust to the end of his term.
Perhaps the Federalists will attempt to legislate Inin
and General. Pchyiancjc out of office. Let them try
a policy.of that kind, and every Federal Judge op.
pointed by Governor Johnston could bo reached in
tbe satne-way by a Democratic Legislature. “It is
a poor rule that wont work both ways.'*
CONSISTENCY*
Our neighbor of the Herald , in last week’s paper,
make* a great boast of the Whig prospects in Geor
gia, Florida, and South Carolina, in the approaching
election. Laying-aside the question of how those
States may go, whether for or against Gen. Cass, it
•bows the political maneuvering of the. Federalists,
and the double faced dealing of their parly. In all
these States the Federalists have beon making the
election of Gen. Taylor, strictly and entirely a South*
erh question, in regard to the interests of slaveholders.
Whereever, they have increased their majorities, it
has - been on (he ground (hat Gen. Cass was too
■trobgly identified with tho institutions and interests
of the North; and that from his locality, his cduca
- lion and prcjudiccs,'~ho would almost necessarily lean
•gainst the extension of slavery. Yet the Herald
boasts of their Whig gain in the South, while at the
samo lime the Editor knows that all the advantages
they have gained, was on account of Taylor being a
Southern slaveholder, bound by every thing that can
influence the human mind, to watch with (ho keen
est Jealousy over thoir peculiar institutions. Yet
with these boastings in his mouth, ho is constantly
crying out, for “Free Soil" and the “Wiltnol Proviso;"
sod calling upon the Federalists to rally under the
standard of “liberty end equality /" and voto for Gen.
Tatuok— not because he owns 300 slaves, oh,no!
bul,becau*e « he is (he Free Svil candidate Was cv-1
er hypocrisy more glaring 7 To honest men such \
things must prove that Whig measures are oil a farce,l
mnd that their only object la to secure tho election, by 1
any means that they think will accomplish it.
OVER CONFIDENCE.
In the late election our strength hut been our weak-1
ness* There is no doubt, that one of the main causes
of out defeat, has been in the entire confidence that
every. Democrat fell In the election of Morris Long,
slretb. We have been so accustomed to victory, that
. we went into the contest without sufficiently rallying
bar forces, end under (he impression that the enemy
would bo vanquished at a blow. But it was the wise
. injunction of Napoleon to his Generals and his men,
never (o go into action as-if the enemy were to bo
easily defeated, but logo, no matter what was tho
condition of their antagonists,as iflhey hod n brave
and well disciplined'army to conquer. While ho
endeavored to rouie their courage, and slirAulatu
w them to Action, and at (he same lime persuade them
they were, invincible, yet ho would cautiuu them
against over confidence, and against going with dis*
.. orderly rank* Into battle.' Every Democrat should

FATAL LETHARGY.
TJiat lhe recent defeat otth'e Democratic candidate
for Governor is attributable to lha failure of .our Do*
moqrutic friends in'lho different counties of the com*
mohvvcul|h,.ld cast Ihcir placed bfcyondm
doubt. Wq have thus lust the dontrpl of thq ulfairs
of Pennsylvania for throb long years. There la a
considerable increased veto since 1844,’ but hut sufti-'
cicnl, wo believe, to. keep paco.wilh the naluralin.
•crcuflo’of bo large a population'as (hat contained in
Pennsylvania.' In many of the counties there has
been a manifest falling oif.of the Democratic vole,
and it cun only be accounted for on the ground of the
over confident oxpeclalions.of our Democratic friends
of their success by a triumphant majority. .ThisTs a
humiliating thought. It.is particularly humiliating,
when ..the majority for Mr. Johnston, the Federal
nominee, is so small in the State, that tho full Demo*
cralicvolo of any county large enough to send.two
members to the legislature could have.defeated him.
For instance* in. the county of Franklin* the num
ber of Federal votes polled in 1841 for Governor* was
3797; and the number of Dcmocralic votos cast at
tho sanio time was 3211. Thu number of Federal
votes pollcdin the Same county .at the late election*
was 3756 ;nnd the number of Democratic votes givert
was 2988. Hero, than is a.falling off of 39 in tho
Federal vole and 223, in tho Democratic vole.
The majority for Johnston in the Slate, according
to Federal calculations is only 288!
Look also at.** gallant little Perry”—or “ daughter
Perry," whichever you may please to term Ifßr. In
1844 Goy. Shunk had in Perry 2216 voles, and Mr.
Longslrclh.injlkT Ulo election 206.1,..being a falling
off of 182 The, vole of Perry for Mr. Miirklo
in 1844 was 1316, and In' the recent election for Mr.
< Johnston 1339, being an increase of 23 votes for the
1 Federalists* and making a difference against us in
this county’ at the,two elections of 205 votes.
In our own county, old Mother Cumberland, wo
did bolter Ilian.we seem lohavo done. The vole for
j Mr. Sllunk In' 1641 was 3008, and-fn the'recent dec
(lon for Mr. Longs(rclh’3o69, being' an 'lncrease of
61 Democratic voles. 1 Tho Federalists made almost '
spasmodic exertions in tins county in tho late contest. *
Their vole for Alarklo in 1844 was 2971—in the late <
election for Johnston 2989; bcing an increase with 1
all their efforts of only 18 yolcs. Our majority was '
increased from 37 in 1844 to 80 in. 1848. In 1847
it is true Mr. Slmnk had 308 majority in this county
over Irvin—but then we polled but 2867 voles, and
tho Federalists but 2559—being far from a full vote
on either side, as there is a falling olf of 202 on the
Democratic side, and 430 on the part of the Federal,
isls, as compared with the recent election.
In York, Schuylkill and Montgomery, wo suffered
(he. most, by tho lukewarmness of our friends. The
' Federal vole in those counties was largely increased,
without a corresponding increase of the Democratic
vote. Wo strongly suspect that in Schuylkill the
vilest fraud Was practiced, and that if the votes of tho
commonwealth were fairly counted up, and tho frau
dulent votes thrown out, Mr. Longslrcth. is the Go
vernor elect by a handsome majority.
The northern sections of (ho Stato did nobly. Mr.
Wllmol's district did much bettor limn somo other
portions of tho commonwealth. in fine
been defeated by an overweening confidence, and a
failure to do our duly. Let it not bo so* Democrats,
in the approaching struggle.
“VOTE FOR JOHNSTON. OR YOU GET NO
WORK.** .
Such was the language, as various.correspbndqnls
assert, that the Federal nabobs and' coal uppcralora
in Schuylkill county used to those in their employ, (p
secure their suffrages for Wm. F. Johnston as Gov*
ernor of Pennsylvania. This has forbears past bcci)
the custom of tlic monopolist* In this Stale. When* '
ever an election is about taking place,the president i
and managers of corporations, and those interested
in the iron and coal business, say to the workmen 1
"c oie the Whig ticket or you gel no i cork V* Of Itself i
this constitutes u powerful reason why monpolics of
all . kinds should bo restricted. They hot uqly swallow
up individual labor, and absoib lor a few favored
persons, immense profits in branches of trade, where
it would bo vastly belter for the community if the bit*,
sincss was led for single individuals, and thus spread
the benefits generally-—but they leave the poor work
man not even the rights of a freeman. They take
from him the privilege of freely making known hie
choice, in the selection of persons to administer the
overnment, and place him in (lie humiliating Attitude
of a slave both in body jind.mind. But such outra
ges ore beyond endurance!. The pride ofovery Amer
ican Is, that this government is his own vine and fig
tree, under which none dares (o molest him ; that ho
cm go openly to tho ballot box, and exercise the rights
of a sovereign nhd freeman, without any making.him
afraid. But when these glorious privileges are taken
from him, ho is no better than those whoso necks are
under the foot of a despot. , It is.time that these na
bobs and petty despots in Schuylkill county should
bo pul down, or driven out of tho country.' Outlaws
' keep an exceedingly jealous eye oyer tile suffrages of
our citizens, to see that (ho votes are the free and.un
influenced expression of the voters. To guard against
abuses in this State, our Legislature lias passed se
vere laws against bribing any man to vote; and
hence.also, the law against belling on elections, bo- i
(fore they lake place. These laws were passed lose-'
euro tho honrst, candid, and unbiased expression of
every man’s mind. Bat where la tho uso of such
laws, if such rascals as those in'.Schuylkill county
are.allowed lossy to poor lubuurora “vote for our
ickct, or you gel no work If this Is not down. 1
igbl bribery, il is hard to ; conceive what is. Whore
Is tho difference between a man saying, ll 1 will give
you five dollars if you volo for Johnston,” and say*
log, “if you volo for. Johnston 1 will givoyou work, if
you do not, you must starve ?”
Tlio Federalists have, pursued a gamo of tho most
desperate villany, in the late contest* With tho Na.
lives in Philadelphia, (a faction whoso motto is tbcz*
elude every foreigner from participating in the rights
of and American citizen,) thny entered into an al
liance, and divided- with them the offices, to secure
their voles.. Tills is. virtually ono system of bribery
and corruption. On the oilier hand, in Schuylkill
county, where a great part of tho population is made
up of poor laboring foreigners,they compelled thoin in*
to their support, by presenting a picture of starve*
lion before them. A poor and destitute class who
came (o this‘'land of (he free,” to find a lining and
tu ovoid starvation In Europe, are told tho only way
(licy onn secure such blessings is to surrender every,
vestige of their rights, end to vote for Win. F. John-
■ton! Wo suppose the same system of glaring in.
iquity will be followed in (he coming election for
President. But shade* of our fathers! is this thy
.liberty,this the freedom for which you so gallantly
I fought and for which you so nobly bled and died ; if

Gov. Shunk received 3,720 votes, and Gen. Irvin 2,-
333 voles. But now, mark the change! Whilst Mr.
Lqngslrcth received 3,538 votes, Gov, Johnston re.

our opinion, the evidence of gross fraud, and wo (rbst
that our Democratic friends in that county will In

Tho execution of Charles Langfielt, says the' Eve

utcs.bcfor 3 o'clock, in tho jail yard of the Philadel

of ministers of the' Gospel visited' him in., his cell,
and finally ho joined in prayer.with them, tie still
preserved (he same indifforcnce ts to his fate, which
has marked his course since his incarceration, and
protested his innocence to the last.
At 95 minutes before 3 o'clock, (ho Sheriff* enter
ed the cell and prepared him for the execution. Ho
was led to the scaffold, supported by the Rev. FJclih !
man of tho Gorman Baptist Church and Mr. Neill
one of the inspectors of tho Prison. His step was
firm, and ho ascended the ladder with such per
fect indifference as to astonish every beholder.
Ho addressed tho persons assembled around tho
scaffold, and his spodcli was Interpreted by tho Rev.
Mr. Fleishman. Ho assorted his innocence of tho
murder, and dill insisted that tho’ fifteen witnesses
sworo falsely against him. Ho forgave all—tho
judges, (ho jury, tho witnesses and every body. ' :
Finally, ho shook hands with tho Sheriff and tho
Clergy, who woro oh the scaffold, and at tho time

another in the XXIVIh district, (Butler, Armstrong,
Indiana and Clearfield,) by from 2 to 300 majority.
We have lost but a single district, vist (ho Hid,
Philadelphia county, by reason of tho amalgamation
between the Whigs,.Natives, and Abolitionists.—
The XXth district, (Washington and Denver,) has
been decided against us by barely 58 voles, and the
XVlllh district, (Huntingdon. Blair, &c.,) by only ,
abmit 00 votes. Wo have no doubt that the official'!
results will establish, that on the Coiigreseidnal j

- If our anticipulions have nol-bccn realized in the
vote fur Governor, it has resulted from ho want of
confidence in our worlhycandidalc; Morris Lung
stretii, and less from the reel numerical preponde.
ranee of our opponents. On tho contrary; the result
is distinctly traceable to causes wholly dlffcfbht,—
The history of all parlies bus established that it is
not a paradox that their otvn strength is sometimes
an. element of weakness, conducing to undue uhd
dangerous security. Never has this truth been- more
strikingly exemplified than in tho rcceoV election.—
The Democratic party entered into tho.contest, so
entirely free from doubt o's to . the Isfibe, that thoii
sands of Democratic voters have not deemed cither
their exertions or their suffrages necessary to secure
a victory. Tho figures, compared with ■ previous
elections, demonstrate inconlcstibiy, that tho Demo.
crallc party, if beaten at all, owes its defeat, not tu the
superior strength of tho foe* but to their own crimi
nal sUpinencss.
Whilst.ours wad a Condition of most Unmafllcrly
inactivity, tho minority, stimulated by a common
sentiment of hostility lolho Democratic party, have
formed every species of artful combination, coin,
pounding the most heterogeneous materials into one
united and harmnrifous whole. By the superudded
efficacy of a general and thorough organization* ex*
tending into every house and hutnlcl,tbe mure effec
tive because secret and unsuspected* they have
achieved results, which they, have never accomplish,
cd before, and which; we promise them* no art. br
artifice shall enable them Soon to accomplish again.
Wo attribute the Governor’s vote mainly to (he
pernicious selfoecurity of tho Democratic party.—
But other causes powerfully co-operated. In some
of oar strongest Democratic counties; the party was
more than, usually distracted in reference to the
choice of local incumbents, ; Under the Stale Consti
tution* thb people trienniully elect their ProtlmnoU
ries, Registers, Recorders, Clerks of Courts, and in
many ooUnllCa their Sheriffs*
'. These ate olways on both side*, rtiofc or less, (he
subject of excited competition, but as the Democratic
parly is in the majority in fully tied > fftirds of'the
counties, tho disposition of this local patronage al
ways hcCcssafily affects them' much more injuriously
than their opponents. When discontent pertudes a
codnty in fcfcrcnco to (ho local nominations; the vote
• for Slate officers is always Correspondingly affected.
Time and space forbid extended details—but rarely
■ has the Democratic party in this Stale suffered so
I severely from this cause as in the present year.
None Of these mischievous lofcal qfrarfCls will distract
Us at (ho Presidential election in November;
2687
In despite of all these Unfavorable circumstances,
the majority for (ho Federal candidate for Governor
is merely nominal, tn a vote of probably moro Ilian
300,000, his returned majority cannot much exceed,
if it reaches, 300. This is iridro lhari counter-bal
anced by tho alleged palpable frauds on the elective
franchise In Schuylkill and olbcf cob'ntitM; which
defy all explanation on lair and honest principles.—
In senrn of the mining districts of Schuylkill, tho in*
crease of the Federal vote, compared with last year,
is SEVEN HUNDRED, AN SEVENTY ONE,;
whilst the Democratic increase'is barely SEVEN
TEEN! When ilia remembered, that our opponents
allege that the ruinous tariff of 1846 Ims compelled
them to discharge hundreds of operatives, this in
crease Is os extraordinary as it is improbable mid
unnatural. Wo do not say that wo will "trebttheelec
lion as if i< had never taken place," We do not ad
vise a resort to the soldiery of our State, armed with
•*buckshot and hall}", but wo da affirm, that (ho
peaceful provisions of tho law will be resorted (a, for
a thorough and searching examination of these incx*
lilcoblo results. It is opr deliberate conviction, that
Vlorris Lonqstretii has been chosen by. the lawful
suffrages of the people of Pennsvlrania as their next
Governor* and If such result shall appear on tho legit
investigation, to bo instituted, neither tho civil or
military-power of the Stale can provcnl hlm from

To our rcliow.l.iborors .throughout tho State, wo
saV be of good cheer I Wo discover in tho recent re
sults no cause whatever for doubt or despondency—
but much for hope and encouragement. All that is
necessary to carry our State triumphantly for CASS
and BUTLER, is that every Domocial shall go to
tho polls and deposit his ballot. For their apparent
victory, our opponents, not to speak of tho Schuylkill
fraud, are literally indebted to the fact tlmllhousamls
of Democratic voters have remained in tho quiet
pursuit of their avocations, Instead of coming up to
the ballot-boxes. Shull this bo repealed in Novum
ber-7 Patriotism and duty forbid U. The honor
and good nemo of our ancient Commonwealth forbid
it. The safely and perpetuity of our glorious Union
forbid it. Surely, now that the perseverance, the
energy, the zoul of our foes have boon so unimslnko
ably displayed, no Democrat will consent a second
Umo to the negloel of tho sacred right of suffrage.—
General Taylor may not have voted fur forty years,
but this is not a fit example for our imitation. Every
consideration which can cause a single chord- in the
human heart to vibrate, Impels ns to different eon
duet. We have candidates worthy of the high places
for which they have been named, and our principles
are Ihoso thal have guided the Republic from weak
infancy lolls present proud and powerfbl rank in the
list of nations.
