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.

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.

HON. LINN DOYD, OP KENTUCKY.
This distinguished Democrat has been triumph*
antly re-elected to Congress from tho First District
of Kentucky. This is tho eighth time ho has been
elected to Congress from the same district, which ia
evidence of his popularity and worth;' We have
long been an admirer of Linn Botd, and hii course
In tho lakt Congress in favor of the adjustment

majority.
That Mr. Boyd is destined to occupy ono of the

too clearly marked hy his unwavering adherence to
democratic principles, hit sterling patriotism, and
able statesmanship, to admit of a doubt. That ho
yvould do lienor to (ho first oflioo In (lie gift of tho

Iho steamer Habanero, .while cruising off a pluco
called Balm Honda, 40 miles weal of Havana, can.
ured a party of 50 of the patriots, who were in four
boalP, unarmed, and report says were steering for
Now Orldans. They were brought to Havana by
the steamer Habanero, on,Saturday morning, tho
IGlh met., at 1 o’clock,.. A., M. t and were placed on
board another Spanish frigate lying in port, and
were executed at 15 minutes past 11 the same morn
mg, by being shot on the public road in Havana,
nnd, at the least calculation, in the presence of 20.
000 .spectators. Alter they wore , shot, they were
drugged by the feet by negroes, and then left to the
mob, who commenced stripping them ofllicir clothes
and carrying them on slicks through, the streets,
yelling like so many demons just.escaped from iho
bottomless , pit, and seeking to. wreak vengeance on
they know not what. •
i ho; men betrayed no fear, but marched up HU
heroes. The most of them wore shot in tho bock.
Many, of tho passengers of the Cherokee, who
were on the spot and witnessed the execution, were
pointed at with, a sneer of contempt, and were slop
ped in tho streets anddnsultod oftentimes in a shame*
ful manner, being told that they were Americans
ond that they were, one and all, of the sanio parly—'
that ono of these days they would be served in the
same way, '
It was dangerous at night, such was tho state of
feeling, for an American to be seen in (be streets
alone.
The steamship Falcon, while on her way up (ho
coast of Cuba, from Chagres, wan bred at three
times by tho steamer Habanero, end obligcdlo hoars
to, when sho was boarded by the officers of the
Ilubonoro. After the Falcon slopped, the officers of
the Habanero cheered, as if they had gained a gio,
nous victory. This Is the third lime the Falcon
has been served In tho same manner.
The greatest excitement prevails in Havana, all
Americans arc besot with spies, and none of them
feel safe from one day tu tho next.
