Bishop M’Kkndbie will preach in tbo Catholic
Cbarob, in this borough, off Saturday, tbo 23d of
this month, at 10 o'clock, A. M.
An Eloquent Address.— Tbo address of tbs Dcm
ocralic Central Committee of thii Stalo will bo found
on our first page to-day, and needs few words from
us to commend It to tho people of Pennsylvania. It
is very ably written, and lakes the highest and bold*
est ground in favor.of the Democratic parly—the
policy of supporting tbe National Constitution—and
strongly criticises of the Whig parly on
(be great question of tbo day.
po Capitalists.— Several valuable farms are
offered Tor sale In our advertising columns of to
day, to which we Invite the attention of capital
ists.
A Good Yield.— Mr. Pctlh Baker, of Monroe
township, left at our ofiice, a few days since, a fine
large onion, on the stalk of which wo counted
twelve onions of good sue, and there was a quan
tity,bfaeed also on the same stalk! That is some
thing to boast of. Who can beat it I .
Fiat at Tun Barracks.— A fire broke out in ono
of the Urge stables of tho Carlisle Barracks, on
Friday afternoon last, and in a,very short time the
building and a targe portion of hay, stray/, oats, &c.,
were entirely destroyed. Our firemen wore on tho
spot In a abort time after tho flames burst out, but
•ould do nothing more than confmo tho firo to tho
building. How the firo originated is not known,
bulU U supposed to have been the work of an in
cendiary.
t FiREMpNU Parade— The two efficient Firo Com
panies of -Cur Borough, the “ Union" and ll Cumber
land/* made a very handsome purado on Saturday
fast, which attracted general attention. The oar
yjegss of the companies were decorated with wreaths
And flowers, and presented a very beautiful appear
ance. .The uniforms worn by tho members of tbo
?,Uiib>j»"j ( wero scarlet shirts, black patent louthor
belts, blifk pints, and broad-rimmed hats. Tho uni
forms oflhe/* Cumberland " members wore scarlet
frock coals, with black bolt, black pants, and caps.
Bothcotapanies looked exceedingly well, and num
bered about fifty, members each, The “Union ’’
was under command ef Co).. A. Noble, ei Chief
Marshal, and Cspt. G. W. Crop, as Assistant Mar
sbal, Tho« Cumberland M was under command of
Col. Robert M’Cartnoy, Chief Marshal, and Lieut.
John Roberts, Assistant Marshal. The whole thing
pasted off in a highly creditable manner to both Com
panies.
. Hot Dmi and Cool Nights.— These hot days
and cool nights—theso sudden changes of the
weather—are what causes so much dysentery
careful guard over them, and there is little
danger. Children's clothing should bo changed
as often as the ( weather changes—so should every
body's—that Isj If they wear very thin clothing
wh«ta it,ia hot. If the bowela are kept warm; and
not crammed with too much green stuff—or any
thing else, for that matter—there is no moro dan
ger of dysentery than in the dead of winter..
Tim Way they Pick Huckleberries.— The hue
kleborry, or whortleberry crop, is very abundant
this year, and (ho fruit very fine. The way (hey
plok (hern. Is (0 piece a Urge pan under (ftp buili,
and (ben give (be bush, a gentle shako, by which
lbs ripe berries are deposited Jn (ho pan. In (hie
way, we sre told, a bushel may begalbcred In an

Pennsylvania,we nowbeholdtho Executivbv*pfficcr
acting the pari of a political declamor, and t iby cun
ning and misrepresentation, attempting to deceive
the people into his support Gov. Johnston, If he
has.no respect should at least respect
the high, office be holds, and return to his duties,
for performing which ho is paid from tho tuxes of
the people. >fiut, his anxiety for office will prevent
him doing this. He will find his mistake, however,
and when lie attempts to convince the people that
ho is a faithful public officer, they will begin to on.
quire bow it is that ho can,bo.faithful to his (rust,
and ybl be absent from his office for three consccu-,
live months at t» time?
It is strange (hat Gov. Johnston should oven for
a moment suppose that ho can be'rc>olecled. Ho
is, in our oplriion, spending a groat doal of time, a
groat deal of thd people!* money, and subjecting
himself to considerable Inconvenience—and all for
nothing. lie might as well attempt to force tho
Susquehanna to run up stream, as to try to turn tho

within their gift. Nor VviU.lt bo forgotten that Gov. :
Johnston, no longer ago’ than last winter,.favored
the passage *of a. mammoth loan bill, introduced
into tho Scnalo, and supported by tho Federalists,
by which ONE MILLION OF DOLLARS was
to bo added to our Slato debt, by borrowing from;
tho banks that amount In the shape of irredeemable
. shinplaslors, which' would have devoured the sub*'
stance of the people for ,an indefinite period!—
I Thanks to a Democratic House of Representatives,
this-allempl to increase the Stale debt, was promptly
’ voted down.
That Col Bigler will, bo elected-Governor, and
that 100 by a sweeping majority, we regard as eh.
tirely certain. No stratagems, no efforts to blind
the people, can prevent it. His majority will bo
increased from the fact of Gov, Johnston neglecting
bis duties to attend to electioneering. This is the
way the people have of rebuking a faithless public
servant. Col Bigler’s majority cannot be less than
12 or 15,000, and may reach 20,000; To doubt
this at this time would bo a reflection upon tho ster.
Hog sense and true patriotism of tho people of Penn
sylvania.
TUB COUNTY CONVENTION.
, Rrmember, Democrats, tho. Delegate elections
take place on SATURDAY NEXT, August 1,6, in
the different townships, Boroughs, and Wards, be*
tweed 2 and 6 o’clock in the afternoon; Wo once
more appeal (b our Democratic friends to turn out
at (hose primary elections. It too often happens in
many of the townships, ihat a lialfdozonof wire*
pullers control, (ho delegate meetings, and appoint
Delegates to suit themselves. This should not be
permitted. Lot the whole party in. tho different
townships speak out—lot them all turn out, and vote
for such, men as .delegates as will represent them
honestly and fairly, and who havo tho welfare of the
Democratic party at heart. It is of the utmost im*
parlance that “good men and true” should compose
tho County. Convention about to assemble. It is
Important that we should have an unobjectionable
tlckoVplaoed before the people—a ticket, composed
of men against whom ho objections dan bo rnsdo
Give os a good ticket—let all sections of tho county,
faad alt Interests, os far as possible, havo a fair and
just proportion. Lot all havo a fair chance, and fair
play. Thus will harmony and good feeling bo so*
cured, add.a triumph at the polls follow*
Tho. Delegates composing tho Convention should
frown down all attempts at bargaining. "My town
ship shall go for your candidate, if your township
will go for mo," lean argument frequently used by
men who are. candidates fur office, and who know
they have no strength of their own. Men who thus
bargain for a nomination, arc unworthy of support.'
Let' all bo placed on-an equal footing, and eland
upon tbeir own merits. Ho who will barter away
the vote of a township is a sorry representative of
the principles he professes to revere.
We have no personal feelings to gratify in making
these suggestions. Our only objeot is to see fair
dealing and fair play. We have no "friends to
reward nor enemies to punish 1 * in the Democratic
parly. Wo direct our remarks against no particular
man or set of men. Wo speak in behalf of the
whole ptriy. Wo recognize no cliques, and despise
party traders. Wo desire the success of tho Demo
cratic ticket this fall, and hence our anxiety that an
unobjectionable ticket may bo nominated.
Once more; then, fellow Democrats of Cumber
land, wo urge upon you tho necessity, nay tho duly,
of attending tho Delegate elections on Saturday
next. Select your best men to ropiosonl you in
tho County Convention—men ufhoncsty, and ofun
doubted democracy, and who have no sinister objeofs
in.view. Do this, and, our word for It, a ticket will
bo nominated that will bo alike creditable to the
Convention and tho Democratic parly.

Col. Bigler is a private citizen, and but of his

but masterly manner, tho recklessness of Johnston,
in attempting to appropriate credit (o himself for

Col. 6. took up the. “ documents, '* tCplain

(he Commonwealth rescued,from disgrace.' Ho ton*
(ended that GoV. Johnston was illiberal and übjuel
when ho attempted to rob Francie R. Shank and the
Democratic party of tbo credit of adopting tho
many financial measures by which the State credit
was restored. ••It Is a very easy matter for e man
to pay his debts, provided a friend wilt give bim lfce
money," said Cfl, Bigler, " and,” he
requires no great statesmanship on the part of Gov.
Johnston to permit the Slate Treasurer to pay'off
the interest ai it falls due ; but, he should not ap.
propriato credit to himself, aiid pro&oh up to. the
people that he, (Gov. J.) has performed thete mlta

it was at the end of Ritner’s administration.* 1 Col.
B. concluded by thanking (he assembled Democracy
of his native county for tho hind manner In which
he hod been received by them, and expressed (be
hope that he might hear a good report Rom (hem in
October.
Our townsman, 3. Ellis Bonham, Esq., followed
Col. Bigler, and delivered a chaste, able,
address. -Ho wot Ualened lo will) marked altontibo,
and frequently interrupted with cheer*.

His keen sarcasm, ready wit, and severe thrusts,
keep his hearers in 4 roar of laughter. He wto a

that fairly made the ground shako.
After Mr. Shrinor had concluded, a

After (he meeting had adjourned,a beautiful hsk

loud cheering from tho multitude. A streamer was
fastened at the lop of the polo, upon which ero lho
names of BIGLER and CLOVER. A flag, with
tho glorious "stars and stripes/’ also decorate* ibo

Such was.tho mooting in Perry. It was indeed
a glorious rally. After such a demonstration, wo

COOL—VERY(
Tho Harrisburg American, tho peculiar organ of
his Excellency, in referring to our article, of fast
week on tho subject of tho Stale debt, by whichyo
proved that during thp Ritnor administration tho
dobt was increased seven millions, aneucts us thus;
"Wo are not tho.defenders of Gov. Ritnor. Oov.
Johnston was entirely unoonnectod with his admin*
istralion, and cannot bo bold answerable for ony .oi
its acts.” ;
Well—that’s cool,dooidodly. Th? American, and
indeed nearly every Federal paper in tho Slate, the
Herald of this place with tho rest, .had boldly r do.
dared that "Ritnor did not add ono cent to tho State
debt.” It was to disprove this statement IbiUin
duood us to review tho acts of the Ritnor odminii-
I tration.' Bui now that wo havo nailed tho falsehood
to tho counter as baso coin, tills same American

Tiio ono has boon, and the other soon will be Con

REMEMBER, Democrats,‘ the atrocious frauds
oorbmiUod in 1838 in the.borough, of-Gettysburg,
when the ballot box was taken at board,
ing of a distinguished Whig, and kspt there
“concealed from tho public eye" formore than an

A Lancaster correspondent of the Philadelphia Daily

oauso (hoy dare think, and havo tho independence to

TUB TARIFF.
Wo hopo our Whig contemporaries, who aro bo

authoiity wo lake it, of thejr i«cn«sw/cp/ course.—
M r. Fiixmoue said in his annual message:
A high tariff can never bo permanent. It will
cause dissatisfaction, and will be changed . It ex
eludes competition, and thereby invites the invest
ment of capital in manufactures to such mrsslhat
when cAmi£tti|U brings distress, bankruptcy, and
ruin upon ail who have been misled by its faith

Toombs Against Johnston,
R. 11. Toombs, a loading Georgia Whig, and ono
of the Union organization in that State, in a recent
letter uses ibis language:
Tliuugli utterly defeated in.this great conflict, the
anti slavery sentiment is yol a dangerous and formi
dable element in American Its acknowl
edged exponent Is Uio Free Boil party, bul.lt is alio
1 vlrulonl and dangerous in the Whig arid Dsm
ooialio parties el UioN<mh. The Whig, narty has
succumbed tp it, and it controls tho organization of
that parly in evefy nun-slsvoholding State in tho
Union* It Is thoroughly denationalized and section
alizcd by it, end will never make another National
contest. The Whiff party of the. South toill never meet
the Sewarde and Winthrope and Vintoue and John
stone and Baldwins of the North, in another National
Convention, We are indebted to the defeat of the
policy of these men for the existence of the government
this day. We shall trust them no more.
The Democratic party of tho North, though pros
(rated, is not yet,utterly destroyed by this same oauso.

v ELECTION RETURNS. ’ :
We-do not .have much additional iritellijvence
from the West/ the result may- ha
thus sumnoed, up—a Governor, : :tf gain :
of a Demobrajtio -.memher of Congress, and the!

lndiana, we have carried every Congreasion
aldistrlctbut two—one of which wad represented
by Julian, Free Soil, who is badly beaten, and de
served it, The Legislature will "be. Democratic
by a tremendous majority. •
Alabama is> as usual, all Democratic, with the
exception of the Montgomery district, late Hil
liard's, where Arberbrombie (Whig) is elected.—
GoV. Collier is elected Governor—lie had no op
position, Mr. Shield having withdrawn from the
contest. > ,
. The few returns from Tennessee indicate that
the W.higSAviU elect their governor, and the Con
gressional delegation will stand much as it did in
the.last session.-
North Carolina—there, is Tittle heard from, but
what has come, indicates the election of the Union
candidates. In the Bth district, Billion, dcm., is
said to have beaten Stanley, Whig—which, if
true, is a democratic gain. '
lowa voted for bounty officers, on the 4th; Aik
ansas, for Congress, on the same day; ar\d Texas
for Congress, Governor and. Legislature, on (ho
7thi but no returns have reached us yet. from these
States, (hough there is no doubt, (hat in tho two
latter the Democrats will sweep the field. ~.
Our friends.can thus see How the work goes on
in the West and Suutflwest, where our political
brethren have planted themselves on the same ge
neral, platform of the Union and the Constitution,
that we have in Pennsylvania. In all directions
we have the most.oheerfng nows—the Wlilgparty
are broken and flying in oonfusionTrom theeharges
of the Dempcratio forces, and it .will be years be
fore they.can unite again. Even their own people
look with dismay at. the precipice, to the brink of
which they had been driven by the mad ambition
of their leaders, and the result of the election show
that their repentence is sincere, if it is at the elev
enth hour. In the bid Keystone, the same feeling
is.abroad, and Gov. Johnston and hia party are
destined to a defeat Ini October next, that will have
no parallel in the history of (he party.
Tho'Purlty of tho Ticket. '
Tho Mexican Commission frauds' seem to have
leaked out at a very unlucky moment for the Whigs,
says the Harrisburg Union. ,Il forcibly revives the
Galphin fraud— a piece of monstrous political con
ruption. So much for tho vaunted purity of tho
Whigs! Those who are constantly lauding them
selves for Pharisaical righteousness'arc far worse off
than the despised Publicans..
Oar own judicial ticket has been much abused by
the .Whigs—but U has all ended-in empty vaporing.*
They can' fix no. act of corruption, such.as the Sus
quehanna Bank fraud or tho Galphin swindle, upon
any of our candidates.' ...
The Whigs prate much about the integrity ofthoir
candidates. It will-take a good deal of prating to
restore to the Federal Treasury tho millions that
wero plundered from it by aid of the Galphin princi
ple—a political'magnet having a strong attraction
for gold—discovered and applied by a Whig Cabinet,
while Wm. M, Meredith held the keys of tho Treas
ury. ;; ■ .i
Tho .Whig Cabinet was deeply stooped in the guilt
of this infamous transaction. Public indignation
roßo- that introducodLlo prohibit
Cabinet officers from tainting their office
private claims against (ho government. V
• A suspicion of similar, participation by Cabinet
officers attaches lo (ho Gardiner fraud. . It may bo
without foundation. It is a little singular, however,
that small and meritorious claims were.deferred to
make way fur monslfoua Actions (hat were backed
dp'by certain high influences.
But the federal proas defend.tins practice. They
say it is common fur mon in tho.employ of govern
ment, for Senators and members ofCorigroßs, In
solicit private claims against the their
master and paymaster. The practice may;becom*
mon, bill it is a.yory exceptionable one, loading di.
roctly to peculation and perjury. It in like & lawyer

Old Berks in Motion !—'The Democracy of Old

had. The Gazette says “it was tho largest assem

“ Tiuvkllinq Cabinet,”— -Tho Now York Herald
estimates that Mr. Fillmoro and his secretaries huvo

return (ravel to Washington of several absentees of

White Sulphur Springs, proposed to bo undertaken

A Youthful Sutoibu.—Robert Willed:, jr. who
hung himself in Albany on the Bth inst., Was only
sixteen years of age, the son oi an estimable, re
spected, and worthy citizen, an extensive lumber
dealer, and a gentleman of abundant wealth. The
mother was absent at Philadelphia and ono of his
sisters on a visit to Canada, to whom telegraphic
despatches wore immediately conveyed.' Rumor
that tho sudden death of an accomplished and
gifted young lady, about his own ago, with whom
he had been intimate from childhood and school
days, preyed so heavily upon his mind as to have
unseated reason.
Another firo riot took place at Philadelphia be
tween I and S o'clock on Wednesday, morning.—
Tho police interfered to suppress the riot, and one
or two of them wore injured. One of them was
assailed by throe of the rioters, when bo drew a
revolver and shot one of them.. This ended the
affray. Tho .oflieer is now in custody, and awaits
an investigation.- This is the first oaso where the
revolvers of tho polios have been used, and as soma
doubt exists whether the law authorizes their being
armed, tho action of the Court is looked to with
considerable interest.
