CARLISLE, THURSDAY, PCtTs, 18S0,
Prom Ihs Perry County Democrat:
MJLANAHAN AND BAILY.
. The Carlisle Herald is very liberal in its epi
thets of aristocrats applied to Messrs. M’Lana
hari arid Bally. We Suppose, the editor thinks
his say so is taken for gospel, but the people will
require better proof of that assertion before they
will give it credit. Too many of the peoploof
Perry have seen Mr. Baily at his own home, with
his check shift, low pantaloons, and with shovel
or plck-axe in hand, at hard work in company of
others, 1 laboring to make an honest livelihood for
himself and family. Nor ? h»s he ever been
known to exercise an undue influence ever his
workmen to compel them-to vote as he dictated.
He never discharged or’reduced the wages of any
in.his employ for not voting as he did, as is the
customary, practice of Whig iron masters. No,
be, works side by side with his employed laborers
and . pays them to their entire satisfaction. , He
ridfs in ho;cusioned carriage, Whig or aristocrat
ic like; at the expense of the ( poor, laborer. He
was an iron master and fur aught wo know may
again make Iron. He owns a furnace, it is not
in blast at the present, lime, he bought it and
for it without the aid of.a Whig haiikrupl l-»w.
In short, he is an exception to the general run of
iron masters, for they, are most generally Whigs
—lie Is a Democrat. They don’t work—he does.
They go for bankrupt laws to pay their laborers—
hn pays them himself. They make, their hands
vole as- they dictate—he leaves every man exer
cise his own freewill at the ballot-box. If the
Whig prints can make an,aristocrat out of such a
character, as Mr.,Baily is known to possess, we
are at a loss to conjecture what they would call
one of their own iron masters.
We well remember the day when that parly
was known by the name of Federalists,' rind lhai
one of Ibelr epithets was “the dirty-shirt dem
ocrats, 11 but now ihey want to call us aristocrats.
The people know live difference between a plain
unassuming man and an aristocrat llml don’t work
but lords it over iho poor laborer.
The Whigs would like to practice the same
game with respect to the lion, .lames X. M’Lan
ahaiV our candidate for Congress. Now* the
truth of his history is simply told, about twenty
years ago he came from the country to Chainbora
tmrg. a poor young man, bn had nothing in his
pocket to recommend him to nabobs and aristo
cracy of Federalism; but he had talents of a
Mipe.rlor order that soared above all the Federal
aristocratic intellect of Franklin county. It was
by his.talents alone that he rose from an humble,
poor boy. to thu head of (be bar of Frat klin, anti
in tbo affections of the people, of that county, ami
if he has the wealth which the Carlisle jhrafd
awards to him, he acquired it not by inheritance,
but by his own industry. And now federal whig
gery would say, he should not represent the peo
pie in Congress, because be was poor now
rich by hie, own labor, and that he Is an aristo
crat because he has superior talents to their candi
date. ** Oh! yo Gods and little fishes!" What
a dish of objections the election'of
both-Messrs. M’Lanaban and Bally. Tc be poor
onfee and make an honest living is aristocratic..
What think you farmers,’mechanics and laborers
. of such a doctrine* that .if you,only, once raise
your heads above the level of a servile slave to
some Federalist, and not obey his dictates, yon
are to he spurned at and called an aristocrat--
twenty years ago the term was a a dirty-shlrl
democrat. 11 But that party changes Its name ns
P' as a horse thief, to avoid detection of its In
and corruption.
Spring Township, Ferry County, Sept. 25.
J, B. Bratton , Beqf D«*a Sia—l chanced yester
day 4o get hold of a paper published in your place
culled the 11 American Democrat," in which the Ed
itor appears to take considerable pains to leave tho
impression on the pubUo mind that I had appointed
John B. Topley my substitute to (lie Senatorial con*
Terence, hold niSlcrretl's Gap, on the 2d lost. IT
the conferees /rorft* jour county had any desire to
do me justice, they would at oned gio<! up my letter ,
addreited to R Tssirs. Stroop and \Viiitb, which, fp
use tho mildest term, waa' intercepted by them and
Mr. Topley, and never suffered to go into the hands
of the gentlemen to toAom it teas directed. You will
do mo a favor by giving my statement (published in
the “Perry County Democrul"of the 12lh) a place in
your columns. 1 fool anxious that my friends in
Cumberland,* as well ns here, ntoijl see the course 1
pursued in its.proper light. If my statement Is In
correct, tlicy can pul me right by producing the let .
tef. Yours, Truly,
J. B. COOPfctf.
Prom the Parry County Democrat.
M,r, Siwip—i observe by the proceedings of tho
Conferees at Sterroll’s Gup. that John B. Topley
procured a seal tit that Convention, on the authority
of a letter fiom myself to Messrs. Stroop mid White,
i When I gave that loiter to Mr. Topley, which is in
flio hand writing of James B. Ilackett, I being una
ll£ at the time to write.* I merely gave U ns u matter
of courtesy to Mr. T,, believing Rial ho woqld deliv
cr it to its destination, 1 never assumed the power
of appointing a substitute, nor is Unite nno word in
that letter which will go to show iinylhiqg further
than that if Mr. Topley satisfied Stroop and While :
—Frrat/tlut Mr. Bully was satisfied to him ; Sec*
ondly, llittC (hey were satl'siicd/ and lastly (bathe
would carry out the instructions of the Convention,
(hen, and not till then could I give my approbation
to his appointment, f hid known him long as a
polhlci'sri— hVrti wltfi all his active support of
lisrrison, in 1840, and followed him Ihrmiffh uW his
snd scrambting for othen ever sitico, and of
course could pi ice no confidence in hini os a polili
clan. Well ihlglittho friends of Mr. Daily have
charged mo with betraying him if 1 had appointed
Mr. Topley, under whatever prelenen, my sumdltiitu
in the Senatorial Confomice, nor did I believe at the
time I gave that lettef lift Che ur any oilier set of
men could construe lllntoannppointmcnl, If there
is anything wrong in my version'of the totter, I*
willing Uisl those in whoso hands it now is may lay
it before the public, and let the pcoplt judge of the
ourrcotncM of their and my position. .
Soon after Mr. HavcrsUck mid W, Topley left
with that letter, a gentleman ,called into my room
and stated that many contended that 1 hid a right
to appoint a substitute. I doubled that right, bu)
slated that if I had a right I would,appoint Geo. S.
Ilaokett, of Bloomfield, as my : substitute 1 there
fore requested Dt. Jonas lokos, my attending physi
cian, and Robert S. Ilaokett, to call on Mr. Stroop,
and Inform him llmt .il was mv dcalro that'Mr.
Iluekell should bo appointed to fill the vacancy,.bo
cause 1 had every confidence m his integrity.

Sweet moon. I love thee, yet I grieve

As forth wo wandered, side by side,-
Oacemoro to tell love’s burning dreamt.
My fond arm was her living zone*
My hand within her liana was pressed.
And love was in each earnest tone,
And rapture In each heaving breast.
And many a high and fervent vow
.Wag breathed from her full heart and mine.
White thy calm light; was'on Her brow
Like pure religion's seal and sign.

We knew wu must ho scvenled long, ,
Yet joy was in each throbbing heart.

WEMOUY’S DUEAM.
BY NKNA
It Was a summer night of beauty when all earth
seemed hushed in stillness; it was tho hour when
man reposes wearied nature, that, us 1 sat by iny
chamber window,- busy memory retraced her steps
back through the long vista o) years, to tho scenes uf
my childhood—when all innocence and joyousness,
1 knew nut sorrow—dreamed not ofll. .
. There passed in review before mo the time when I
rambled 4 o'er the mountain top to gather the sweet,
wild flowers, or strayed through the grove listening
to the songs of (he birds; then, at eve, when weary of
iho exercise of tho d.iy, would home court my re
turn, and after retiring to rest, in dreams was 1 cn*
acting those scones again,' . .
I thought of my meek, gentle, and affectionate
sister, with whom whs spent so many hours, and
those hours, though pissed In the chamber of.slck
ncss, constituted the* happiest of my young life.—
Nn»to tfould bul bo -happy in that dear one’s presence;
for she, In all her sufferings, was to uncomplaining,
so pious, to heaven-like. Then cube the dark side
of the picture. One morning 1 ruse.from my couch
and hastened (b that sister’s.room; my parents and
Iho servants were there; with surprise, I noticed they
were weeping. Tho dying one spoket—“ Brother, I
sea you once more—Jesus has culled—meet me, with
Father and mother, in the bright hnd 1 am going
to.” Her lips still moved, but no round came from
them; one moment more, and she was—dead. For
lung months after, J wept for her with a grief un.
conlrollab’e/
Next came my parent* before mo. . My kind and
indulgent Father who loved mo much;—and she,
who first learned my infant longue to her own—*
a mother's nairic.’ She who watched over mo in
lioblili, ulfd moornou over ino in sickness. Again
wus I seaterf on hoi* knee, and hcrlclljng of God and
Ilia high liotni 1 ; that lie it wutf who preserved u>y
life, and hud given mu all I owned; then would wo
hath kneel, white alio would nfler up'a prayer to
Him, that Up would Continue Ilia mercy Jo' her boy,
and suffer‘him to grow'up a useful. and pious man,
whoso only aim should be ta do good.
Then 0.1010 another scone. The time when I bade
fiirowclt to all to go out inte the world—upon the
Hlngo of action to labor for myiclf. 1 hoard my Fa
ther's well-known voice, "God bleu thee, my son I"
And thoie parting wo/da of my M'ullicrWfF.irowcll;
my sons whilst in distant lands, forget nut thy home,
thy parents, thy God. 1 -
Memory's Dream was o'er. A tear trickled down
my cheek; I thought that, pcrli-ip*, 1 might never see
(hose beloved pa fell Is again.' fliud *• learned that
happiness
On rnrlh is never known, -
Hut in Urn lunri 1 courts of Heaven
• It floitiUlu's alone."
I rose from my seal a renewed man, exclaiming,
*'i kimW,'T know that my Redeemer lives* that in Ids
prosoneo I shall meet my friends in denthicn'i joy and
beauty," never more with them to part.

THE MOUNTAIN OF THE TWO LOVERS,
,Wo forget in what book it tras, many years ago,
that we read the story of a lover who was to win his
mistress' by carrying her to the lop. of a mountain,
and how he did win lier.
We think the scone was in Switzerland ;, but the
mountain, though high enough to tax his stout heart
to the uttermost, must have been ,arriong ( the lowest*
Let us fancy It a good lofty hill in the slimmer time.
It was, at any rate, so high, that the father pi* the
lady, a proud nobleman; thought it impossible for a
young man so bdrlliehcd to scale it. For (hit reason
atono, in scorn* he bade him do it, and his daughter
aho.utd be hi?. . ' .. , ..
- The pbasaulijr assembled in (he Valley to witness
so extraordinary a sight. They measured themoun
tain with their eyes—they communed with one an
other and shook their heads; but all - odmjred, Ihq
young munj and some of his Ccllowsj looking at ificfr
mistresses, thought they could do*Sr much.-/The
father was on horseback, apart and sullen, repenting
that ho had.subjccted his daughler even to (he
of such a hazard; but lie thought it would (each hi 6
inferiors a lessen. The young man, (tho/fon of a
small land proprietor, who had some prclenlfipiis to
rtbaitb^ihough- to nobility/} stoodf respectful
looking; bat in his heart dial hp
sliQuld win his mistress, though at the cost of a no
ble pain, which he could hardly think of as a pain/
considering who it was he waste carry. If he died
for it, lie should at least have hud her In his arms,
dhd have iooked,))ef in.ihb face.’. To bfa.sp Ijpr per
son in. (hat manner was a pleasure he contemplated .
With sucktranspioitf.ss Is known only to real lovers,
for none oihcrs'kVtnw'how respect heightens the joy
of dispensing with formality; and how dispensing
with rormullty.ennoblcs and makes grateful thk-.jre*
spepU . r , tl f/ \
Tho lady stood -by (he side of her fatiicr, pale, de
sirous ond Slie thought her lover would
succeed, but only because she thought him in every
respect the noblest of hiq sex, and Uia} nothing was
too great for- his strength pntl-valor. Great fears
come, over hVr; ncyertlieltiHs, i She know not what
might happen in the chances common to all. Sho -
fellthc bitterness of her being hcrsclflhc burden to
him and .(lie task,ami darcd ncUhor to’iook at'her
father nof tho mountain, Sho tiled her eyes now op
the crowd, (which nevertheless .she beheld not) and
now pn her hand and licr fingers* ends, which she
doubled op towards hep with f ,f»fc(6tfee—the only,
deception t lhq had ever micd.’ Onco or twice a daugh
ter or mother, slipped out of the crowd, and coming
up to her notwithstanding their fears of the lord bu
fon, kissed the hand which sho know not what to do
with. t • ...
' Tho Hither Bait), “Now sir, put an end (o ifila
mummerv," und.thc lover turning .pale for.the Hint
lime, took' up the lady.
Tliospcclatort rejoice to nee the manner in which
ho moVfa off, alow, but sccbre,* and na if encottrngfag

well; ho hulls an before he gels midway, and
seems, refusing unmclhitigf then ascends at a quicker
rntejand now being at midway point,shifts tho Indy
from one side to tho other. The spectators give n
great shout. The baron, with ah air ofindiflerchcc,
biles the tip of his gauntlet, ami then casts on them
an eye* of rebuke. At the About (lie lover resumes his
way; Slow, but not feeble, in .hfs alefr, yet It gets
slowert He slopl again, a ahd they.think they see the
Ijdy kiss him on the forehead. The women begin
to tremble, but the men say lie will be victorious,—
He resumes. Again, he ie half way between the 1
middle and the top; he rushes, ho stops, he sing*
gets, hut dees not fail. Another shout from the
men. arid lie resumes once more; two-thirds of
the remaining part of the way are conquered.
They are certain the lady kisses* him on the fore*
head and on the eyes, ’The women burst into
tears,and the stoutest men look pale, lie as;
cehds slower.than ever, but seems to be more
sure. He halts, hut it ia only to plant bin font
to go on again, and thus lie picks ills way, plant*
ins his font at every step, and then gaining ground
with nn effort. The lady lifts up her arms ns if
to lighten him. See, he is .almost at tho lop ; he
stops, ho struggles, he moves sideways, taking
very little steps, and bringing one foot every lime
close in the other,. Now—he is all but on the
top, he halts again; he is fixed; he staggers,—
A groan goes through the multitude. Suddenly
he turns full frmit inward the top; It is luckily
almost a level; he staggers, but It Is forward,—
Yes, every limb In the multitude wages a move
ment as if it would assist him ; see, at last, he
is on the lop; and down he falls flat with his bur
den. An enormous shout. He has won! lie
has won ! Now ho has a right to Caress his mis
tress, and she is caressing him, for neither of them
gets up. If he has fainted it is with joy, and U
Is in her arms.

several instances where editors have positively

closely written pages, on both sides, although
qxpresaly Informed ihat they Vere ‘'at liberty M
to make any alterations that they might see fit.
We . have noticed several atrocious oases where

A Worlfll of Love at Home.
BY t. J. RKTNOLDS,
The earth hath treasures ftirand bright,
Deep bnrled in her caves,
And ocean hidelli many a gemn .
With his bluecurltng waves;
Yet not within her bosom dark f .'
■Or’ncath the dishing foam, ,
Lies them a treasure equalling
A world of Jove at home.
True sterling happiness and joy
Are not will! gold allied; '
Nnr can it yield a pleasure like.
A /norry fireside.
1 eTivynot the man who dwells
' In stately hall or dome,
If 'mid his splendor lie hath not
. A world of love at home.
The friends whom time hath proved sincere,
'Tis they atone can bring
A snroreUef tu linarta (hat droop'
'Neath sorrow’s heavy wing.
Though care and trouble may be mlnn,
AS down life’s path I roam,
I’ll heed thorn nni while still I have
A world of love at home. .
A Cure tor. * l/nd Temper*
,DY SlpSi ELLIS* ’ )
A cheerful temper—not occasionally, Gut habitual
ly chpcrful—ls aqqplily which no wise man. tv out/}'
bo willing to dispense with In,choosing n Wifi?. It
is like o good fife in winter, diffusive opd genial In
its influence, uhd always approached With a confi
dence that it will comfort and do good.' Attention to
(lealth.is one gtoal means of .maintaining thhk«4ccl.
Icncp Unimpaired, and attention to household affair#
is another. The stnte'of body which-women call I
billious is must inimical to habitual cheerfulness;!
and tha{l which girls call having nothing to do, but |
which 1 call idleness, is equally so. ' I have always:
strongly recommended exercise In domestic useful*
ness, which, without superceding that in the open
air, is highly beneficial to the health both of mind
and body, inasmuch od il adds to other benefits, the
happiest of all sensation*, that of having rendered
some assistance or done some good,
bfcllrfb entreat my young readers, If I hey ever
feel a tendency to causeless melancholy, if they aro
afflicted with .quid headache; but above all
with impatience and irritability,.au that they can
scarccly«inakc a pleasant reply when spoken to, let
mo entreat them to make a trial of the system l am
recommending, not simply to run into the kitchen
and trifle v\Uh tho servants, but set about doing
something that witlodd to thegcncrul comfort of the.
family, ahd (hat will ul thcs&tue time relieve some
member of.lliut family of a portion of.daily*toll. 1
fear It le a very romantic conclusion to conje to, but
my firm fcofivicli. n is, that half the miseries ofyoung
women, and lull (heir ill tempers, might bo avoided
by habits of domestic activity.

Mr Hkarriii I lifiow very well what will) pro.
euro you bliss by tho hogeshead ; il is that wretched
filthy stuff, culic(| money. This il is
souls in a ffulUf, and sols you jumping like a lot
of chained monkeys at the sight of a airing of fish.
You think if you only possessed a certain heap of
lucre, you would be off in lavender— make, mouths
at care—say how aro you to sol row—laugh at lime,
and feel happy as an nyaicr in Juno. O, yea !if you
only hnd enough of tho trash, I would-admit, you
might feel satisfied; and of course contented; but
in such eases moro'rcquucsmore (according to Days
boll and rum,)the last more required most,and wants
more yelf and so on, to (lie end of (ho everlasting.
There is no such thing at (he end of Worldly riches.
As well might (lie sow bo supposed to gut enough of
wallowing in the mire, as Cor a mortal to be satisfied
with tho rolling in the carrion of wealth. So false
arc your ideas of tho means to obtain happiness that
you would if you could, coax angels from the skica >
to rob them of the jewels in their diadems. 1 hav
en’t the least doubt of il.
My dear friends—l will (ell you how to enjoy as
much bliss as heaven can ufiord to humans.' Du
contented with what you have, no mailer hqw poor
it is, until yon have an opportunity to get something
bettor. Do thankful, for every crumb that fulls from
the table of Providence, nnd live in constant expec
tation of having the luck to pilch upon a whole loaf.’
Have patience to pul up with present troubles, and
console yourselves with (ho Ides that your situations
are paradUcs compared with some others. When
you have enough to cul.tasaiisfy hunger—enough to
drink to quench thirst—enough to wear to keep you
decent and comfortable, juvl enough of what is vul
garly ‘ called " tin " to procure you a. few luxuries,
when you owe no ont/ and no one owes you. nut even
a grudge—lhcn if you are not happy, olflho gold in
(ho universe never can make yon so. A man much
wiser than I, ouco said, give mo neither poverty nor
riches, and 1 look upon film as one of the grcaleat.
pliilofloplicia the World ever produced. AM he want,
ed was a contented mind; sufficient bread and cheese
and a clean'shirt. Toko pattern after iiim/O ye
discontented mortals who vainly Imagine that bliss
alone Is to bo found In the palace* of wealth and
opulence.
My hearers—lf you consider all,creation lon poor
to afford you. a single penny worth of true blessed- 1
ness, you must pray to bo recnnciird to its poverty. >
Giecso your prayers with fuiih, ! nnd send them up in
earnestness, hot from the soul's oven. This manu
facturing cold petitions with the lips,'While,tho heart
continually cries gammon, is of no more use than.of
talking Choctaw nr Chinese. . Heaven , understands
no gibberish; it knows only the pure, siinplu lan
guage of (ho spirit—the Bout's vernacular. So when'
you pray, do It In as simple a manner ns posaiblc,
but witli red hoi earnestness, nnd your souls will find
rest wherever you are*— whether nibbling nt a crust
in Poverty Hollow, or half starving In California
while endeavoring to transmogrify a bag of gold
duet into an fndiun padding.

Truth Stranger than Flctloni
i The Paris correspondent of the St. Louis Re*
publican, relates the following :
■ A. young man recently made hfo'espape 'frdpa
the galleys at Toulouse. He Was strong and vig
orous and soon made his way across the country
and escaped pursuit. He arrived next*, morning
before a cottage in an open field, and stopped' to
beg something to eat and concealment while bo
reposed a little. But he found the Inmatea.ln the
greateot distress. Four little children sat trem
bling in a corner, their toother was weeping and
(earing her hair, and tho father Walking the.floor
in agony. The galley slave asked what was.ljio
matter, and the father replied that they were that
morning to be turned; out of doors, because they
coujd not pay (heir rent. ** You see me driven to
despair,*' said the father; f* my wife and chlJ4ren
without food and shelter and without means to
provide any for them." . The convict listened to
the tale with tears of. sympathy.
*> I will give you the means. 1 have but Just
escaped from the galleys; whoever secures and
takes back ah .escaped prisoner is entitled lb
reward of fifty francs. How much does your
rent-amount to V’.*

.recognise ipe', and you will get fifty franca for |
brii ging me buck. •• No, never,” exclaimed the
astonished listener;'** my children should starve•
dozen times before I would do Sybase a thing.”
. The generous young man insisted and.declared ./i
at last that he would go'and give;, himself up. If
the father would not consent to tafte him. After
a long struggle the latter yielded, and taking his
preserver by the arm', led him to the city and to
the mayor's office. Every body, was surprised
that a little man like the father had been able,tc) .
capture such a strong young fellow, but thajirodf
was before them ; the fifty francs were paid and
the prisoner Bent back to the galleys. uut 4 aftdr '
he was gone, the father asked a private Interview
with the mayor, to whom ho told the whole story* .
The mayor was so much affected that be not only
added fifty francs more to the fallier’ft pur?c, but
wrote immediately to the minister of justice, beg-i
ging. the noble young prisoner's release.. The
minister examined into the affair, and finding that - ,
it was comparatively a small offence which con
demned the young, man to the .g.nl{.eya, i and, lba't
he hod already served out half bid time,’ he or
dered his release.'
