AUGUST 20, irletort DEMOCRATS, ORGANIZE I—GO TO WORK Now that our candidates—Slato and local—have been selected, it is incumbent upon tbd Democrats of old. Cumberland to enter vigorously into tho political contest. If our friends wish to be sue cossfui (hoy must go to work at once, and organize in every township. Without organization, wo can* not hope for success. The Fcdoralists, olios Whigs, are determined to m ike a bold stand in this county, and they hope, by,the aid of treacherous Democrats, to elect at least a portion of their County -Ticket. Wo warn the Democrats of the diffcrnl townships to be vigilant, and use all honorable means to secure the complete triumph of our County Ticket. Qo to work, Dem train I In this county wo have the moans of success in out own hands, and all that is wanting to secure the success of the whole ticket, is union .and harmofiy and a concentration of our strength. Of our Slato and County homi. necs wo have on former occasions spoken—they are ail worthy the energetic support of every true disciple of Jefferson, Jackson and Polk—thdy have all been fairly nominated and all can and will be elected, if proper efforts bo nude in their behalf.

Ho » a high.minded, honorable man, against whoso moral character (he tongue of slander has never utteredo whisper. He is a Democrat in whom tho most implicit confidence can bo placed, and 1 who cannot bo seduced from a faithful dischorgo of his duty. Shbuldv.Mt*.

This being the ease, tho Conferees from Cumberland, in our opin ion,£have a plain duty to perform—they should sop. port the man recommended by Perry r and none other. ' If Perry is entitled to the Senator sho has tho undoubted right to name tho man* We hope, therefore, that'tho Conferees from this county will meet tho Conferees of Perry in good faith, and con. firm the nomination of Mr. Bally; That this will be done, and that tho. Conference will meet and separate in friendship,, wo have every reason to bo. llovo.

The'east is already represented in that body, and out western Democratic brethren who-contribute so cheerfully and efficiently to oar party*, triumphs, deserve that one of their number should bb honored by on election to this imporlrfhl post.

SENATOR STURGEON* The following remarks were made by Senator Sturgeon, as an offset against some •“ panic and ruin” petitions, presented by the Hon. James Cooper, iMr. Sturgeon said: “1 have no doubt, Mr.- ,Prc»ldcn| r lbal the iron interests of Pennsylvania Is in a depressed condi .lion at llio present time. That, I bolievo is pretty generally admitted, so far es the conversion of the iron from the rough stale Into bars, fi*c., is concerned. I think, howevbr r Mr. President, that Phare infer* (nation that llicro is more iron manufactured in the oily of Pittsburg at the present Season, and at a Greater profit, than was ever manufactured boforo in ’ittsburg. lt r is evident, as tho. gentleman bus staled in his remarks upon introducing these me*- mortals, that ibis depression of the .iron interest in { Pennsylvania and tho United Slates generally has. arisen from tho business being overdone in Europe, 1 and perhaps also,here. The result..is temporary depression. Iron at. homo and abroad must reduce the quantity of their manufac* lure. , They ore already doing, so abroad, 1 think the information is to bo relied upon, that already sixty.three furnaces have been broken down. It is well known to tho world, that a lew years since I there was a railroad system extending over Europe, I which turned out, on trio); to bo a bobble. U burst up, after having induced a great amount of capital to go into tha iron.interest ;• and it is the depression consequent upon that stale of things which has now produced depression in the United Slates. I consid. or this depression only temporary ,-apd, to) 1 say that U will bcicmoved wllh)ii tiyoorsixmontha.l Now, Mr. President'! I think my friend has been] also mistaken in regard to the coanpteresl of Penn*' f think in 1849 the amount of coal mined exceeded that of 1848 by some 300,000 tons —(hero being in 1848 3000,000, and in 1849, 3,300,000 tons. This year, T Icarh, It as much oxcrcd tho amount in 1849;.it will amount to 3,000,000 tons. 1 do not know where my friend got his information ;■ but 1' believe mine is cor rect,- Mr-Cooper, (In hie float,) Doth ere correct. Mr. Sturgeon. . Doth correct 7 They differ ,vcry much. - Mr. President,, the evil complained of Is slight when compared with tho remedy—a perma-, nent establishment of high rates «f taxation by tariff. This depression is temporary 1 , and will right itself;- but If we raise the tariff 'at the present time,- it will bo a permanent tar—a permanent saddle upon the .agricultural interests of the country.- Tho situation of Pennsylvania was never mare prosper ous jthan at this’moment. Agricultural products command a price ono third,higher than from 1843 to 184& Flour was (tufa 63;£0, and now brings $5,35. Again, Mr. President, our woolen Interests are Increasing and prosperous—wools ere bringing SO to 95 per cent, more now than for' tile Inst seven or eight yeats.. So far as her sgrlouiituril Interests are concerned,‘Pennsyfvania was never in a more prosperous condition; and this temporary depression will correct itself In less than six-months.

The Slate and No. tlnriolgpvcrnmcnlr, through unfortunate dissensions und division Incur dlvii funks, arid through base mis** . representations on tho port of our political opponents, are in tho hand* of (hu Federal party, and the char acter of (hair administrations Is such as to give rite to serious forebodings for (ho welfare of tho country. Under their guidance tho slavery question has as. sumed a prominency and an otthludo of danger, 1 which threatens the stability of the Union itself whilo peculations and frauds upon the public (ream* ry nn longer oxoito surprise.
