time that active measures should bo adopted to so* ,
cure a full turn out at the polls.. Turn out, Democrats.
ARB YOU ASSESSED 1
This is a question of the utmost importance to
every ono who professes to bo a Democrat. Ro*
member, the law requires that , you bo assessed ten
days before the election. See to it note, and if you
arc not assessed attend to it at once. Do not wrong
the Democratic cause—which is tho cause of the
people—and deprive youtsclfofa vote by postponing
this necessary duty. Let no excuse be offered—
throw all minor considerations aside—and have your
names registered immediately. Don’t forget this,
Democrats. Remember you will not be entitled to
a vote tf. you are not assessed.

Good Hope Mills tor Sals.— The attention of
capitalists is invited to tho advertisement of Abra

A. Query 7—Wo have been requested to ask how
many there are on tho Federal ticket .who are rc«
orepnl Democrats? We have understood that no
less than/our of the Whig candidates formerly be

question.

What shameful, disgraceful work! ,-. j
the prospect,
Because Gen. Taylor carried tins Slate last fill
by a small majority, tlio Federalists.appear to think
that Fuller, their candidate for Canal Commission
er, can "come it "also. But in this calculation "our
political opponents wilffind that they counted With
out their host.; Since Taylor'S election the people
have had their eyes opened totho true character of
Federalism. Previous to the election last fall,, the
peop o wore told by those who they supposed were
their friends, that astounding abuses existed under
the formcradminislration—that those who wore at the
head of the Government were squandering the public
funds to an enormous extent—that nothing could save
the nation from ruin and bankruptcy, but aohangoof
rulers. A portion of the Democrats believed these silly
stories, and by their votes, assisted to carry this Stale
for Geo. Taylor. In doing so, they supposed they were
voting for a “no party man,” for one who had "no
friends to reward nor enemies to punish." But alas,
how soon did they discover that they had been caught
in the gull-trap of Federalism, and that all the promi
ses modeprevious.to the election were hypocritical and
dishonest. In vain is that “reform” looked for which
had been so oAen and so solemnly promised; and
instead of (ho President carrying but his oft-rbpeated
pledges, he appears to lake delight.ln violating every
promise made previous to his election. Instead oCthat
disinterested patriotism so loudly professed, a hollow
hearted selfishness is found at tho bottom of a
doingß of those who have the control of Government.
Tho people find nothing andseo nothing but aacrara
bio for office and a perpetual bickering about the di
vision of the spoils, utterly unworthy any parly.
Thus have the people been deceived. Their ea
peclations have been disappointed. True specimens
' of Fctler “! rule have bccn.afforded lliem. They will
endure it no longer. Already they give the clearest
indications of returning to tiro good old paths. With-1
out any noise or show, but with that calm resolution |
which is /bunded on a conscientiousness' of tij’ht
they will show by their votes this fall that their con
(idenco in the principles of Democracy is unsha
fecn,
CANAZ* COMMISSIONER.
From all that wo can loom, John A. Gamble, the
Democratic nominee Ibr Canal Commissioner,- will
be elected by a sweeping majority. In the North,
wh(ire ho Is well known to nearly every man, lie will
gel a tremendous vole—laigcr, perhaps, according to
the number of voles polled,, than was, ever cast for
any one before. Tho people have full confidence in
him, and they know 100 that he is well qualified for
the responsible duties of tho Canal Board. Ho is a
man of quick business habits, a perfect gentleman in
his intercourse with others, and of ogreeable man
ners. Few men in the North con number more zeal
ous devoted friendsllmri Mr. Gamble. All who know
him, Democrats and.VVbigs, are willing to testily to
his capacity and honesty. Soch a man must bo pop
ular with the people.
Tho Federal candidate for Canal Commissioner, as
most ofour readers are aware, is Henry Mi Fuller,
of Luzerne. Of Mr. Fuller ivo know little. He is a
lawyer by profession, and of course is not very well
calculated for the office for, which he hua been named.
Ho hoa but little if any knowledge of our public im
provements, and is therefore not the man to place
in (he Canal Board. There is no necessity for
placing lawyers in the Canal Board. : The men of
that profession already monopolize more offices than
they are entitled id. Take the lawyers as a body
and they know less concerning Stale improvements
Ilian any other class of men. Logoi men arc vol
uablo in many positions, and, can render impor-
Uni services, but the Canal Board is no place for
them, A Canal Commissioner should bo omphattcal.
Iy d business man. Such a man la John A. Gamble,
and we are much mistaken if the people do not rati
fy his nomination by an old fashioned Democratic
majority. '

Gen. Taylor Almost Sacrificed.
General I'ayloh returns to Washington, says
Hie fmmyhmnian, a shaclow of hia former self,
from the moiiieht when he entored Pennsylvania,
he seemed to hare been infected with bad compa
ny. Johnston embraced him at York; Stevens
at Lancaster; Ritkeb at Carlisle: John Dennv
at Cbambersburg; Uaiimaii DanNy at Bedford
IGeohoi Damii at Pittsburg,- and Ctmiuis M.
Rued al Erie, Even the disinterested attentions
* of the Democracy could not wholly dissipate thei
j fatal vapors arising from snob pestilential associ
jalions, and when he escaped into New York, the
only way to keep off death was to repel the Whig
leaders. He is finally landed at Washington
more dead than alive, fully satisfied no doubt, of
the danger ha has escaped by mixing in bad com- ,
pany. The same evil influences killed General
Harrison. In the same period of time that suf- i
fitted to send the aged and infirm Hero of the
Thames to his grave, we have seen the hale and
hearty Hero of Buena Vista enfeebled and broken
as if by the pestilence itself. Wo trust the latter
may live throughout his term ; and that before he
retires he may make one bold effort to redeem his
memory from the imputations of the bold bad men
who would lead him to hie ruin, in order that
their schemes may be carried into effect against
the country.
Gen. Taylor’s Health —Since Gen. Taylor’s
arrival al Washington his health has been rapid
ly improving. The Republic, speaking of his
indisposition at Brio, says:
Ho was stricken down by diarrhoea, acoompa
med with a raging fever. At one lime his phy.
sicians for two days apprehended a fatal termini
lion of his illness. . By careful lending and skilful
treatment he was at fength relieved,; but in such
a stale of physical exhaustion as to render great
exertion or faliguo of any kind unsafe. He left
Lrte as soon as he was able to travel, direct for
me 1a Is , of Niagara, not stopping at Buffalo, or
any other intervening point. Al Niagara lie
hoped to regain sufficient strength to justify the
resumption of his lour; but four hours sojourn
there was sufficient to confirm his medical 1
Visers in. the opinion that his disease had been of I
so sctious a nature as to preclude the Idea of re. (
covering physical vigor, in any reasonable length
ol time to go through-fatigues and excitements
such as he had encountered before his illness, and
such as Iney had reason to know a wailed .a further'
( proseculicn of his visit. This circumstance, and I
the reception of despatches which made his pres
ence at Washington desirable, induced the Presi
dent to hasten Ins return home, which ho did by
the easiest and most expeditious conveyances.
A Terrible Scene—A letter from-Fort Lara
mic, to the St. Louis Republican, speaking of the
j graves on the plains, says:
. “ Scores have been passed which have no iden
tity placed over their remains, and have not been

saw had been dug up by the wolves, the bodies
dragged to the surface and the limbs and frag
ments scattered' all around. From this place west,
