CO* Wo had a fine shower on Saturday last, but the ground is at present so very dry that it will require a steady fall of rain for at least twenty-four hours to bo of much service. ij3*. We neglected to.mention in our last, as we hod intended, that our respected townsman, Mr. Mitchell McClelland, has been appointed Col-, lector of Tolls at Portsmouth, iiy the board of Canal; Commissioners* This is o most excellent appointment, and will give general satisfaction to Mr.' McClelland’s numerous friends in this coun ty., .Mr. McO. is a thorough going Democrat, an excellent business man, and every way desert jng; .The Qanai Commissioners could not have made a better selection.

Mr. F. is a lawyer by profession, but has never hod much prac* lice. He will be beaten by a very large mojorily. friend of Col. John F. Hunter, (who said that he acted in obedience to the wishes of that gen tleman,) called Jl our office yesterday and requested us to continue (o advertise Mr. H. as a candidate for the office of Sheriff. We refused to comply with this request Col.' Hunter submitted his claims to the Coun ty .Convention, and,as ah honorable man, should not now attempt to disorganize the party by announcing himsolfas a volunteer candidate. Had he received tho nomination wo could have supported him zealously and cheerfully, but that another was named, wo arc determined that our columns shall not bo used for the purpose of discord and disorganization. Wo feel • aaitaftod that every man who has tho welfare oflhe Democratic parly at heart will approve of our course in this matter. TRB COMING ELECTION. How that tho Democratic County Convention has been held, end a ticket placed In nomination for sup port, it becomes every Democrat to buckle on the armor of democracy, and go to work for the ticket, the whole ticket, end nothing but the ticket. Lock with scorn and otter contempt upon any man pro fessing democratic principles who will attempt to make opposition to any part of (lie ticket.- Take li all Irt all, a stronger ticket was never presented to the detnocracy oT Cumberland county, and we I csi late not to say it will be elected by a triumphant mojorily. Democrats of Cumberland! you have a designing enemy to contend against, and to be successful you must be united.- The candidates before you, asking, in the name of the common usages of the parly, and we may say, in. the name of Democracy itself, your suffrages, are men of sterling worth, and should re ceive your zealous and hearty supporU Under ordi nary circumstances it would bo sufficient to know that R regular County Convention had presented you a ticket, to'rally every man of t!io party around tho glorious standard of our faith; but when wo take into consideration the importance of the approaching election, wo should led doubly bound lb exert our selves more than usual for each and every candidate on Ihe ticket. Tho present election may involve the political complexion of the Slate Legislature. How important;'is it therefore, that wo should corryour members of Assembly? How Important Is It (hat we should carry our Sheriff? How Important is it , (hat wo should carry our whole ticket? Democrats, • look aUlilt matter—look at it tvilli an impartial eye 1 —and we feel satisfied that you will, one and. all, 1 give the nominated ticket your united support. * TUB FBOEUAL TICKET.

TUB DEMOCRATIC TICKET* ' : Tho regular nominated Democratic ticket for this county ..wilt bo found In another column. The candi dates (or Assembly, Messrs. Ctiurtcn and Schuller, aro both active intolligonV men, who have rendered good service to the Dempctalio parly in days gone byo.; Should they be wltich.tliere Is'not aaoubt—they will, wofeelEuce,doallin their pow er (6 discharge tholr duties iti such & manner as will do credit to theaiselvps and their constituents. Wo therefore, in the name of the Democracy of Cumber land county, appeal to our friends to lay aside all personal feelings—if any exist—and yield a willing support to the candidates tor Assembly. They have been nominated in a fair and honorable manner, and should, as we trust they will, receive the support of every one who has thu success of the - Democratic parly at heart. / £or Sheriff wo have that sterling Democrat, Da vid Smith, Esq., of Carlisle, and wo ore free to say that no more suitable, man could have been named for that Important office. lie is a gentleman whoso character, mural and political,' is without spot or blemr jah, and whoso business qualifications are such as to qualify him for a faithful discharge of the duties of the office. A man of acknowledged intelligence, of inild and amiable disposition, ho.ls universally es teemed by all with whom ho is acquainted—his po litical opponents not excepted; Wo predict hls.olcc lion'by a sweeping majority.' Benjamin Duke, Esq., of Shipponsburg, has been nominated for County Treasurer. Mr. Duke is a young man, who has arisen from an humble life to his present position. Though poor, he is beloved and respected by all who have the'pleasure of his ac quaintance. A kind, ond sociable; a P citizen, useful end agreeable; a scholar of more than ordinary talents; a Democrat in whom there is no guile. The “upper end" could have proposed no more * worthy, capable, and honest man for this responsible office, and, in justice to them, we should roily to (ho united support of the man of their-cholce. ■ For Commissioner John Sprout, of Hampden township. A few years ago Mr- Sprout was elected 1 A udjlor, on tho Democratic ticket. . -In that capacity - wo had satisfactory evidence of his qualifications. —• 1 As a guardian of the public monies, none would bo 1 more careful of lavish expenditures, and none would see more promptly to their safe keeping and judicious • management In. cVcry respect; so that the county need foe! no concern, In the election of Mr. Sprout, about the proper disposal of their taxes, to tho par posca for which they are designed, and intended.— Mr. Sprout deserves our hearty support, as It was before given, His character, moral, political, and re ligious Is unsullied—the esteem shown to him by his Irionds and neighbors, warrants the belief that they will again support him at tho coming election; and every, ttuo Democrat will consider it his impera. live dhty and. his highest privilege, to give him that cordial support Ills character and . qualifications de mand. For Directoroflhe Poor, MicuarlO. Beltzhooveh, of Monroe township. Mr. B.' is. a gentleman of ac tive business habits, an intelligent, good citizen and a sound Democrat. In his own neighborhood ho is beloved and respected. Having an extensive ecquain. lance and relationship throughout the county all will yield him a hearty support. Puiup Quigley, of Carlisle is one of the candi dates for Auditor. No hotter selection could have been made for that office, whero the duties require a good accountant, a scholar and clerk. Mr. Quigley possesses all these qualifications, which in Itselfshould recommend him to the cordial support of. tho Demo cracy of the county. He is a gentleman of unblcm •hed character, without in Afianiy, and es a follow townsman lias no superiors in point of respectability and usefulness. Politically ha has the confidence of tho Democratic party, and therefore we trust will not lose a Vu(e. . John P. Buoads, ofHopewcll, is the other candidate far Auditor, Tbit gentleman possesses at! the requi site qualifications for (his office. The Auditing of the public accounts can safely be entrusted to his care —what lie docs will bo well done.. We hail this se- lection also'with much pleasure and satisfaction, and but speak tho voice of the parly, whch we say bis election is certain. Coroner, Peter Barnhart of Mechsnlcsburg, is just the man to attend to bolding Inqnests over the bodies of tho unfortunate dead. This office Is made the more important on account of sundry duties be ing required, which nous but a prompt, active and intelligent man, such as Mr.Darnliart, can attend to, } lawfully and satisfactorily. > Such, fellow Democrats, is (he ticket placed bo > fore you for support . That every man oh H can and . will bo elected, wo feel confident. It is a strong lick , cl from (op to bottom—composed of men of sterling worth and fixed Democratic principles. Is there a single Democrat In our county who will refuse his rap port to the tehole tiektt 7 We trust not. It is to be ho ped that all will exert themselves to secure life success pC the ticket, the lohalt ticket and nothing but the ticket. So far us wo have learned (ho nominations give gen eral satisfaction,and all (hat ja wanting to secure a tri umphant victory is, union, harmony, and a zeulods support of the candidates. I TUB COUNTY CONVENTION. Never In llio history of .the Democratic party in "Old Mother Cumberland," did the County Conven linn, which assembled on Tuesday last, attend to the arduous and responsible duties assigned to it, with more unanimity, goqd feeling and good order, than I was scon, and felt, end known on that day. Dele, gates representing the various sections of the county \ came together—not to promote selfish alms—hot lot divide and distract—but they came together to pro* mote and advance the interests and success of the Democratic parly. No angry words ensued—no frown was seen to darken tholr brews—but they met . as a bond of brothers, to deliberate on the common good of the party and the people at large. We say they assembled as a band of brothers—as friends— . joined in heart and hand, and the result of tholr wise, > cautious, and honest was putting in nomi ' nation a ticket, unexceptionable In its character; \ representing, as for ns possible, every section of (ho 1 'county, and one which has given more general sat isfuollon than any ever heretofore nominated. Thq Convention adjourned In extraordinary peace and harmony ; each revolving to exert his utmost to en* sure the election of the whole ticket. This augurs well for our success at the coming election; indeed, heretofore, (ho first efforts of disorganization com menced in the Conventions; we have no such sad I circumstances to record this time.. Many candidates land their friends have been disappointed—this, was unavoidable —some must necessarily bo disappointed. But It is the rule of ail good democrats, to submit to ' | the will of the majority. The Convention, previous I I to adjournment, unanimously adopted a resolution in | favor of the whole ticket, ond every man who was a Delegate returned home determined to yield a support to all the nominees. Tna No-Psa-rv PaastotitT.—Preeidonl TaYLon, wo loam, In hie reply to the Pollivlllo Comrallloo, at , Harrisburg, spoke of the "LucoCueo" parly, and lira ' , •• liooofoeo" prc.ce, 1„ Imitation of the slang of the Federalists when speaking of the Democratic party, I Very dignified, Indued,says the PotlaolUs Emporium ' in a President of the United Stales, to bo bestowing • nick-names upon a parly which has governed thiol - great nation, almost without interruption, since tile administration of Jefferson, and comprises at this - time, a largo majerily of the people of the Union,. 0 s the , £oirrioNMß b iIl oplsas-e. -The Federalist? of iKls indeed.of all the counties In the Slate—will use every exertion,' both fair and foul, to elect their candidates for As sembly, hoping lo liaVo a majority In the Legislature, and thus bo enabled lb pass another .inifluilous -Ap portionment Bill, such as they passed, in. 1836. By this bill, the Slate! was so divided.lnloidislrlcls.'as to neutralize and destroy' Democratic counties, by con* necling them with Federal ones sufficiently strong in, votes lo overwhelm! them. For instance, the Demo cratic county of Montgomery, which'at the lime this iniquitous bill was passed, contained 9,773 taxables, and was entitled to one Suimlor u was.Uuked lo the - Federal counties of Chested and bolawaro, containing only 15,582 taxables, thereby controlling the Doino cralic majority of Montgomery. ’ . ■ Again, by iho. bill, the Fedbrol county of Adams obtained an additional member on a fraction 0f3,110 taxables, while the Democratic county of Westmore land was. dented one. on a fraction of 2,209.' The Aristocratic Bank City of Philadelphia gained an additional member bn, a fraction of 107 voles, while the. Democratic county of Philadelphia was denied a member on a fraction of 6,942. Federal Lancaster got a member bn a fraction of 1,298, while Demo cratic Columbia was denied one on a fraction of 1,761* The number of taxable inhabitants, os reported by the Governor to the Legislature at that time, was, in the City ofi) Philadelphia, 18,449—1 n the county of, Philadelphia, 31,398. At 3,057 taxables to a Rppr.c- I senlalive, the City of Philadelphia would have been I entitled to SIX members, leaving a fraction of only 107—and the county lo TEN members, leaving a fraction ofB3B| instead of which, the bill gave SEVEN members, to the Federal City, and only EIGHT to the Democratic county of Philadelphia. These are a fow of Iho DEFORMITIES in Lcgis. lation practiced by the mbmofoblo men of “ BUCK SHOT and BALL” memory, by. moans of which a Federal Legislature was folslcdlWipop tbe-people, while the popular Vote exhibited a'Democratic. m«jo. rily of from 5,000 to 6,000 in thoStaJj !

In whatever'direction we cast our eyes the ,most exhtllraling. prospect greets us. The democracy of the Union presents one perfect, solid phalanx of men, harmoniously united in sustaining the .truth, and in putting down error and base chicanery.- Taylor's administration is doomed, and treachery stands re. baked. The unexpected result of recent elections in different Slates ol the Union, hss inspired the Demo* crots with renewed fervor and devotion,, aod has struck loner and dism*y into the strong holds of the Opposition, who, with wo-begono couotenoriscs, and hope's last'flickering ray merging into despair, start back aghast, horrified, ond dumbfounded. ; No one honestly imbued with the principles of genuine Republicanism, can, for a moment, doubt tho final triumph of democracy, and hence it is that the combined Opposition, made up of alt. the combos, lion of discord and faction, misapprehend the char* actor of (he people. They judge them after the manner of themselves—ahd thus, making pnalclls, endeavor to force them into their measures. Hence it is that they never retained tho power wnfin fortu nately placed in their hands. They receiicd it by hypocrisy* and sought to maintain it by.dissfytulatton. All their actions and schemes being characterized by that intuitive hatred oftiie people—insuperably joined to the principles of Federalism—that, ho mighty effort was needed 10 unmask their designs and expose their artifices..

Important Resolution* The following ricA Resolution was adopted, among others, at the late Whig County Meeting, held in this city. It is worthy of special note: Resolved, That n 100 frequent change of party names is not only useless but injurious} that the name of Whig, is dear to us, not only on account of its Revolutionary associations, but because un der it, some of the most brilliant victories for our cause have been achieved. The. change is un called for, unnecessary, and if made, cannot fail to da harm. So it seems (Tint (fie old gam'd of changing nemos, which Whlggory has practised more than once within the recollection of most persons now living, in the vain hope of deceiving the people into support of its odioas measures, is to bo tem porarily abandoned. Wo say temporarily for he Hesolulion above, quoted docs not condemn the practice entirely, but on\y,**a tmfrequent” resort to ill flow humiliating must bo the thought, to every honest Whig—for a few such there doubtless ore—that his party must; sloop to an act which is the common refuge of knaves and felons, and which carries deception on its very face, in order to gain success.. And more humiliating' still, is the idea that the.eamo party, to save what little reputation for consistency U has, is compelled to come out openly and de* 1 nounce the practice.# What a proud contrast docs [ the Democratic parly present, whose name and M principles have remained the same almost from 1 the very foundation of the government. - Heading Gazette.

It would be dispar aging the intelligence of Pennsylvania to suppose that she could continue to be made tho easy dupe of such glaring Hypocrisy and dissimulation. But, It is (ho duly of every American,'whatever- may .be his opinions upon the subject , of politics, whatever cr may bo his sentiments in regard to the political infidelity, ignorance or imbecility of the individual who represents tho Executive head of our National Government; it is the duly of .every American to treat the office with profound respect, and the man in it for the lime being, with unaffected cordiality, not for himself, but os tho image of the noblest 'country in the world—our beloved Republic. .This affable treatment of, Gen.
