Carlisle, Aug. 29, 1851. •; (O* We would recommend tho attention of our literary triends to the first page of this week's pa per, which will he found (o be very interesting.’ The incident of the Revolution, entitled "The Escape,” is.a true picture of one of tho. many adventures which our forefathers encountered during that greet struggle which gave birth to tho liberty of our coun try. “Hyroism of the Capo May Wreckers," is also an excellent article, and is an instance of the bravery and truehoaflcdneas which characterize that class of non who, were formerly censored by our country, but who are how applauded for their betoio acts. Out poetry, too, is well written and full of sentiment. The shorter articles will bo found both humorous and instructive. In out next wo will give another capital Address to the people of tho Stale, by the Democratic Cen. tral Committee. , The Federal Ticket.—Tho Federalists of this county assembled in Convention, in this piaoe on, Monday last, and placed in nomination the following Uoketi AsstmUy—Thomas L.Calheart, of Alien, Robert M.

Case ia. laid ,to bo buffering, flora a severe attack offerer awl ague, . . 1 THE DEMOCRATIC county ticket. Ponding the nomination of a County Ticket, the Democrats of Cumberland county': bad their own peculiar favorites, and thqy spared no' honorable means to present tbeir claimato the Delegates in County Convention. It is right that individuals should), aVO their, partialities—it is right that they should exercise zeal and influence to promote the elevation of personal friends—and it is rigid that they should adopt measures necessary' to carry their wishes into successful Ljpcrolion. But, in sub. milting the claims of their 1 ijvotiloa to the notion Lf a County Convention of De tgatoa, they' are bound Ip abide the decision of ll it body; and, whether defeated or aucoeaaful, must abide. the nominations agreed upon, or at once acknowledge and avow their hostility to the principles and uiion of the parly, by opposing tho ticket. The Delegate systoin has hopn the bulwark of preserving union and harmony in the Democratic party; and the republicanism of. .tho system makes it n certain shield to the' success of its candidates and the perpetuation of its princi ples. It ia the sure basis of harmonious organize, lion, and “ the will of tho majority ” is there (bund to control its actions and give an impulse to tho vigorous course of tho whole party at the ballot ho*. The ticket presented to tho Democrats of Cum. horland county was nominated in conformity, with this well-established usage. Every township in the county was ably represented in the Convention, by chosen Delegates of the Democratic party, and tho nominations were agreed upon with n feeling and oommonsurnto with the greet"; interests involved by their election to tho Various official eta. lions thus primarily assigned to each candidato. We. then urge upon the whole party n tenacious adherence lo ilo uangos and principles; and an undi vided support of THE WHOLE DEMOCRATIC TICKET which was agreed upon,by the County Convention .of regularly chosen Delegates. A to. view of the several candidates upon tho ticket , may serve to exhibit the judicious selection by (ho Dele gates. , First on the. ticket is our follow citizen,' James H. Graham, Esq., for President Judge of this (tho Dili) Judicial District. 'Ho received tho unanimous nom ination of tho throe counties composing tho District, which is evidence of his popularity and worth. Mr. Graham has for years boon ono of tho ablest and most indefatigable practitioners at tho bar. He has established a’character for energy and attention to business, inferior to that of no man in the judicial district. Tho large amount of business which ,bae constantly bcon heaped upon him, is proof condu cive of tho high estimation in which his legal abili ties and integrity are held by this community. A man like Mr. Graham, endowed aa ho is with ap plication, energy, perseverance, high legal attain ments, and a moral character withont reproach, cannot but prove an ornament to tho bench. Tho candidates for Associate Judges, are Hon. John Clendenin, of Silver Spring, and William Ker, Esq., of Weal Fcnnsborough township. They are both eminently qualified—both are “ honest and capable.” Mr. Clondcnin is ono of. tho present Judges, and, wo will venture to soy, there is not a single member of the bar who will not endorse him as a men peculiarly qualified for this position. Ho is highly respected by all who know him, on account of his sterling good sense, and strict integrity. Mr. Ker is also well and favorably known to the people of this county, and, like Judge Clendenin, is pos sessed of every qualification necessary to make an efficient officer. Ho is popular with the people. Hia high moral character, quick business babils, and goodness of boon, are qualities that will com mend him to tho people of,dll parties. His kind nesa to the poor, and bis friendly courtesies of life, will not bo forgotten by those who know him. Wo feel confident the people could not confer the office upon one better.quallßed foe aa honeal-aad /ahhfal discharge' of lie duties. That Messrs. Clendenin [and Ker will be triumphantly elected, wo have not a doubt, • The candidates for Assembly are J. Ecus Bon ham, Esq., of Carlisle, and John C. Dunlap, of Al len township. The former was one of the Ropro. sedatives from this county in the last Legislature, and his manly course was suoh as mot tho approba tion of every Democrat in the Stale. lie gained a reputation which few men of his ago can boast of. As a public speaker, Mr. Bonham had few equals and no superiors in the House of Representatives, Ho was an honor to his constituents, and an orna ment to tho House. Tho Democracy pf tho whole Stale will rejoice to hear of the re-election of this able and distinguished Democrat, ' Mr. Dunlap is a farmer, a man of sound sense and excellent judgement, and a reliable Democrat. Bis character, moral and political, is without o spot or blemish. No man is bolter acquainted with the interests and wishes of tho people of Cumberland county than Air. Dunlap. Possessing industrious and correct habits, ho will make a most valuable member of the House. In the event of their elec tion, our members of Assembly will do honor to themselves and prove a source of pride and profit lb (heir constituents. ■ •For Frolhonotary tho Convention nominated John P. Rhoads, of Hopewell township. Mr. R. is a msn of admitted qualifications, and who Ires over stood firm as a rock In tho defence of Democratic meas ures. Wo fool confident that the people could not confer tho office upon one more deserving, or who would execute its duties with more gonorol satisfac tion. His character, like that of Cmsat's wife, is “above suspicion." We pul down Iris election as I beyond doubt. For Clerk of the Courts wo have that honest man and true Democrat, Samuel Martin, of South Mid dleton township. Perhaps no man in Cumberland county re bettor qualified to rulfill the duties of this office than Mr. Marlin. As a Clerk end accountant ho has not a successful rival. Of a mild and amia ble disposition, and over ready to please, ho is the very man for this office. . I Hsnrv S. Ritter, one of our moat worthy end indualriona moclianice ofCorlialo, received the ndm. {notion for Rogielor. Mr. Ritter waa born in Berko county, end, like oil hie relatives, lie baa over boon a hard working Democrat. Ilia qualifications ore acknowledged by all. Mr. R. is poor, with a largo family dependent upon bim for aupport. No man in tbia community elanda higher aa on exemplary citizen then "Harry Ritter." Ho ia rCapocted by all, and has the confidence of all. Our word Tor it, ho will be elected. Hia follow mechanics will take pride in giving him a, "lift " on the 2d Tuoaday of October. For County Commiaalonor wo have Col. William Graoxv, of Frank ford townablp. It ia oftbe utmost importance to the people that men of capacity, hon esty, and experience should bo elected to the cilice of Commiaalonor. The County Commissioners are, of all others, the guardians of the people's interests, Wo are glad, therefore, that the Convention made choice of one so admirably qualified, in ail respects, aa Col. Gracey. He is an active business man, whoso character la unimpcached and unimpeachable. Wo know of no man better calculated for n faithful discharge of the duties of this office than Col, Ora. oay. Ho has always boen'an' active and consistent uemporat, and is therefore entitled to the hearty support nf over, Democrat In. Cumberland'county. Wo regard Ida election as entirely certain. For Treasurer, Mosxs Bmosta, of Monroe town ■ ,l,i r>nominated, . Mr.B. 1. 0,, 0 f Hf,,, correct accountant) and .a good'Man in every respect. He .hap'business tael and energy—is a ! steadfast Democrat/ otad highly ros’pccledand esteemed by nil who know him. • tie will make d safe and obliging .officer. Then wo have Gkorob SiiKAFPEft, of South Mid* dletoh, for Director of the Poor, and Samuel Me*. oaw, of Mifflin township, for Auditor.- They afe both a good men-and true,” and' well calculated to fill tho- stations for which they.liave beonnominaled. Honest and capable, they will discharge their duties with fidelity to the people. . '. , ’ ' Such is the Democratic ticket, and wo. ask for it llio united, hearty, and zealous support of. every Democrat.. It was fairly nominated, by a regularly constituted County Convention. It is a strong tick et, and can, arid will be elected from top’to bottom. Democrats, stick, to the nominations, and givo a long pull, a strong pull, and - a' pull all together, for the , ticket, THE WHOLE TICKET, AND NOTHING BUT THE TICKET! Gd the,whole figure for Democracy, and you will bo sure to tri umph! The. Judicial Ticket. A cotemporary remarks with groat truth, that It is the absolute and imperative duty ofoveYy man who professes to bo a Democrat, to vole tho whole of the Democratic Judicial ticket. There is ho apology for backsliding or scratching a single name on it. Accoiding to tho usages, of tho party, the ticket has been formed. There is no charge of fraud connected with its .formation, and tho party creed demands a hearty and unflinching response from every repub lican. The Whig appeal that the North has boon abandoned, is insincere—it is heartless at bottom. There is no sympathy on their part towards Dorn ocrals which has a particle of reality in fact. There ’ Is an attempt being made to Injure the election of Judge Campbell, This is ail wrong* As we have said before, wo repeat how—that if there is any reason in the . world, .why ono man should have a warmer support than another, it is in.favor of Judge Campbell, on the score of religious intolerance, bo. cause with the qualifications and correct political principles of tho judge, no man can cavil or complain —no Democrat wo moan. Wo hope to. see the whole of llio Democratic jodl* cial ticket elected by such a majority as will settle Whig claims and pretensions in all, lime to come. Travelling Fees* In 1848, when W. F. Johnston catno to Harris* burg to bo installed Governor, ho charged (he State THIRTY DOLLARS travelling ices. Travelling pays well. Ho started again about'six weeks ago, and it .is said will keep travelling until after election. If the. travel from Armstrong to Harrisburg was worth $3O 00; how much will ho be. entitled to for the campaign 7 Answer—SlX HUNDRED AND TWENTY FIVE DOLLARS.— lnvestigator, The Ten Hour .Law.—The working men of Penn sylvania should remember when they go to the polls, says (ho Easton Argue, that Gov, Johnston is their enemy, that while ho was in tho Senate, ho. tried to defeat the present M Tcn Hour Law,*’ by lacking upon it a Proviso, that children under the ago of fourteen might bo compelled to work more than ton hours with the consent of thfiir parents or gnardjans, and no later than last winter ho got up the same proviso.and.uscd every means In his power to hove it passed, but llio Legislature was too thoroughly Democratic to suffer more children to bo sold to tho sickening and health destroying slavery of largo manufacturing establishments in Pittsburg apd Phil adelphia. Is. it not a shame that whilo our neigh bors in Now Jersey and Massachusetts ore slrug. gling for this glorious principle, Gov. Johnston, who professes so much sympathy for (ho black slaves of tho South, should bo endeavoring to reduce to the most abject slavery, the free whilo children of Porih sylvonia? ’ i - ■ I. The . Whig*. do not reUsb tho fact (fiat:tTeArj CUy'» old district should have returned a Democrat to Congress. TJio people’ Jiava returned to their first loro, and tbo great orator himself, for -the last few years, has quite as much confidence in a nation* al Democrat, as he has in a Seward Whig. Minister Killed by Lightning.—Al Now, Lon* -don, Chester county,.on last Sabbath afternoon a week, a painful Occident occurred, while a thunder storm was prevailing. The Rev. Jonas Bissoy bad just concluded an excellent and eloquent sermon in the Methodist church, when (he lightning struck the building, killing the Reverend gentleman In the pulpit, and stunning several of tho congregation. One young man.it was thought, had been killed also, but, after considerable exertion on the part of those present, ho was restored to consciousness. .No damage was done to tho building except tho lireak* ing of some glass of the windows. The lightning struck the chimney,situated on the side of Uio build* ing. Tho pulpit stood at right angles with the chimney, near one end. After closing his discourse, (he Reverend gentleman was loaning on the Bible, when (lie fluid descended. Every exertion' was made to resuscitate him, but tho vital spark' had' fled, lie leaves a wife and one or two children to mourn their loss. Spanish Women Striking for Higher Waob^.—»A Spanish paper says three thousand women in Madrid,* who aro engaged in tho manufacture of cigars, have struck for higher wage*. They formed quitosn army of insurgents, and throw up barricades to im. podo (ho municipal guard, who were sent to bring them to order. Finally they were compelled to return to tholr labor, not without complaining bitterly, how* over, of tho great reduction of wagea, The moat akllful used to receive eight reals per day, but two and a half reels la tyio-utmost they can make under the new orrangemonts.
