van DEMOCRATIC COUNTY TICKET#
During the last week, (being court week,) we had
an opportunity of conversing with Democrats from
r aTl parts of our county. All is well in old Mother,
Cumberland. Never have wo known tho Democrats
to be better pleased with their ticket than at present.
■They say it can be, and shall be elected, from lop
to bottom, by a largo majority. This is tho spirit
wa like to see. Every true Democrat will rejoice
At the prospect of electing out whole ticket. Tho
approaching election Is all important to the Domoe-I
raoy« and it is tho duty of every Democrat to use
his bolt efforts to aecuro tho election of the nomi-
Valid Uokot. Union and harmony should character
fop our movements. To tho Democracy of Cumber*
we would then say, BE UP AND DO-
You have a ticket presented you with just
jnso /or your candidates as you can be assured
carry out yoor principles. Democrats, preserve
'(twsalient and well established usages of the Dom
. gratis'parly, by lupporting tho ticket, and the:
'whole ticket, as nominated ond agreed upon by (ho
Xtymty Convention. Relax not in your exertions,
Democrats. Your opponents are busy, both with
.their hands and minds, and they will not leave &
•tone unturned between this time and the election.
Bi yr and poiNfll Your candidates are men of
aiirliog moral and political integrity, and In their
aueoets you secure a proud triumph over Federalism.
BE UP AND DOING, Democrats of old Mother

BIGLER v». JOHNSTON.
This is tho issue that is now madoup and ponding
before the people, and to bo finally on
the second Tuesday of next October. On the one
aide we have, devotion.'to the' constitution of oiir
Common country, au adherence to the compromise
as settled.by the last Congress, and .correct* vleWa
! upi
ion the •financial policy of the State. Upon the
other we have treasonable intimations of opposition
to ah important. provision of (ho consiUulion.'of the
United States and the legislation based upon that
provision, absurd notions of banicing and tho cur
ronoy, resulting in free banka and relief notes,
should tho present incumbent be re-elected to the
office bo now holds.
A proper regard to the relations we sustain to
other portions of oar confederacy, should make it
a matter of serious consideration, whether wo should
give countenance and support to. the abolitionists of
the North, by sustaining and elevating those at
home who sympathise with them in many of their
heretical doctrines. . Lot us stand upon; the broad
platform of the constitution, and not prove recreant
to the teaohinga oflhe patriots oftho Revolution.
Besides, Governor Johnston's detnagogueism on
tho subjects of lb* tariff, stale debt, sinking fund,
and other hobbies Which ho rides for tho time being,
should place him - in tho proper position, before tho
people, to be weighed in the balanoo by them and
found wanting. Whatever may bo popular in any
one section of the State, (hat you may find Johnston
supporting, and thu place you will find him advoca
ting it, is in the region immediately affected by it.
i Hence in the North ho is the adherent of the North I
Branch Canal, in the county of Mercer you.find'
him a violent opponent of the fugitive , slave law,
and endorsing whatever'tho abolition member of
Congress, Mr. Howe, ;raay say on that subject—
while in Philadelphia he has great regard for the
Union and the stability thereof.
In contrast with such hypocrisy and double deal,
ing, wo are proud to point to tho conduct apd;the
sentiments expressed by ear noble standfcrd/bcarcr
in this canvass, Col.' Bigler. .He is Hie* srfmo’in
ell places and sections of the State, to alf nten.
Aboul him there is no equivocation or shadow of
turning* All ie straightforward, plain sailing. He
scorns'to, flatter the free sailors of Bradford at tho
expense of truth and principle. At every place ho
openly and candidly explains his. views of national
and slate policy. He goes for tho Constitution atid
the compromise with all tho ardor of a truthful na
ture. Ho is in favor of a revenue tariff and econo*
my and frugality in the administration of the gov
ernment. Hs (also exposes, in a masterly manner,
the claims sot up by Governor Johnston to paying
off.a half-a million of tho State debt, when it can
be satisfactorily shown that less of tho debt has
been paid during his administration for tho same
} length oT lime, than was paid by Governor Shunk's
administration*
In fine wo have every tiling to oxpeot and nothing
to fear in the coming contest. With union and har-|
mony, an. adherence to principles, and a disregard
of personal grievances, we may expect such a tri
umph as has boon seldom achieved in Pennsylvania.
The days of Jackson will be back upon us. Tho
spirit of .'76 will burn again in tho hearts of the
children of revolutionary sires, and the, allegiance
of the State and her people will bo again renewed
at tho alter of their common country. u Bigler and
tho Constitution,'* is seen floating oh many a. flag,
and it augers well for the stability sod prosperity of
our blessed Union.
“THE ONE TERM PRINOIPIiBvW
Three years ago Gov, Johnston toadea epcoch
In this town, v In that Speech he declared himself,
in favor of what he called the “one term principle,**
and opposed to the election of any man as Gover
nor for more than one term.
He proclaimed his opposition (o the veto, o r
•'one roan power/’ and look iho ground lhatno bill
that received a majority of the votes of the people's
representatives, should be vetoed by tho ■Governor.
He declared himself opposed to the pardoning 1
power, and abused Governors Shunk and Porter
because they had exercised this power.
He said ho was opposed to proscription for opin
ion's sake, and pledgedhim'self, in case ho should
be elected Governor, to “proscribe proscription.”
Ho abused President Pulk because he recogniz
ed a paper at the seat of government as his official
“organ. The Governor contended that no public
servant should have a paper in his exclusive inte
rest. “Tho acts of a public servant,” remarked
the Governor, “should be criticised by unfettered
presses.”
He aaid too, (as all Federal slangwhangers say
when begging for voles,) that he was in favor of
“an economical administration of the govern*
ment,” &o.
Now, let us see how Gov. Johnston has carried
out the principles he professed and the doctrines
he promulgated.
First, in regard to the “one term principle.”—
The very fact that he is again before the people,
asking for a re-election, is proof that he has repu
diated the doctrine he preached.
Secondly, ho opposed tho “ veto power,” and
yot it is a notorious fact (hat ho has exorcised this
power without regard to,justice or right.
Thirdly, ho said ho was opposed to tho pardon*
Ing power, and in lhe face of this profession he
has let loose upon society scores of the most dcs*
Iperato scoundrels that over disgraced our Peniton*
iltUry.
Fourthly, he professed to bo opposed to prosorib.
ing men' because of their political opinions, hut
yet no sooner was be in power than every Demo
crat in olTico was immediately removed.
Fifthly, he abused President Polk because ho
had a paper in his interest thst was called his "or
gan.” Now the Governor himself has an organ
at Harrisburg—a paper edited, by his own brother,
and a most abusive lying sheet at that.
Sixth, the Governor professed to bo a great eco
nomist, and pledged himself that, in the event of
his election, he would practice the strictest econo
my, And yet by reference to the records we find
that the expenses of the Slate Government, in two
years of Johnston’s administration, have been
$83,269 45 greater limn in Iho same length of time
trader Gov. Shunk I The people should also re
member that the amount of taxes assessed upon the
farmers and mechanics of Pennsylvania, for two
years under Johnston’s administration, is $342,698
greater than in the same period under Gov. Shunk.
Nor should the people forget that Gov. Johnston,
during the last session of tlio Legislature, used ail
the influence and power he possessed to add ON K
MILLION OP DOLLARS TO OUR STATE
DEBT, by borrowing that amount from the banks.
It was well for the people that the Legislature was
Democratic, or certain it is Gov. Johnston and his
friends would have carried their darting measure.
Freemen of C umborland county, what confidence
can you place in a man who has so lilllo regard for
Ida word! Wo say to the people, Gov. Johnston
is hot to bo trusted, He is a deceiver, arid has
deceived you. Will youpormllhlmtodosoogainl
We know your answer;—Never 1 never I

INCREASE OP CRIME.
There lias never within ouhrocollootionbocn bo
many criminal prosecutions brought before our Court
as during the list week. There were ftfty.fivo in
dictments presented to the Grand Jury.. Many were
ignored, but over thirty true bills were found.. They
embraced almost ’dvery grade'in-the .calender of
crime. Riot, arson, rapo, fornication arid,bastardy,
passing counterfeit money, assault end battery,'&o.,
were the topics of the week., To give $ regular
report ortho trials as they occurred would occupy
too space in cur columns, besideswo have
no strong desire to add another pang to the already
wounded hearts of parents and friends by publishing
the crimes of which their children and relatives
havo beon found guilty, and for which many of them
will be incarcerated within tho walls of tho Peni
tentiary. It may be considered by many onimper
alive duty we owe to society to give publicity to the
fadts. In order to suppress crime, Wore wo'satisfied
that its publication would have such a hoppy-ton
dency, wo would do an irreparable, injury by. with,
holding it from tho public; But we have no reasons
to justify us in making; tho press, ain engine ofop
pression by reiterating to afflicted parents and friends
what they already know to their mow. Wo would
not bo understood that in tho punishment of the
guilty wo make any distinction—not at all. Let all,
bo they in good standing or. not,-If found guilty of
a honious crime o( disturbing the public peace, bo
I treated,alike. But w.ould*it be rlgwHo opea out a
battery of censure when they have already been
I tried and sentenced by the'Court 7' Wo think hot.
(Suffice it to soy,tho guilty have suffered, and sod
the extent to. which their crimes have led them; and
let ue. draw the. veil of oblivion over, these scenes
and lend an cor to Chose who, by to
lalionship, are connected to.ilio offenders, and are
mentally afflicted in consequence of the waywardness
of llioir friends.
That crime Is increasing in our midst is general-
ly admitted. Us rapid growth is enough to startle
the reflecting man and.cause thepbilanthrophist to
ptfiiso and enquire from whence comcljuso much
depravity, and whore will'll omtr’ rfir will either
bo more energetic in his mission, of cetsealtogother,
wiion he sees arraigned at the bar of his country tho
aged man and tho youth, for some high offence
.which Would appear too degrading, for the one and
100 deep a scheme for the other, appafSnlly linked
in combination for the purpose, of rupturing and de-
elroying tho morols of society, and rendering it a
circle for the association of fiends .and -villains.—
Such, by the evidences Wo have, appear to be the
design of many of the present day; Wo cannot but
feel sorry when wo' behold the youth verging on
manhood, boiling with rage at the slightest encroach
ment.of what ho deems his privilege; glutted with
revenge, defaces the .dwellings of our. qllizens, or
destroys public properly, and even - saizts the fire*
brand, and causes, by his unrelenjUg- passion, tho
destruction of properly, and 'reduces to want tho
, helpless and innocent. Certainly crime is on the
1 increase, or oar couits take cognisance of acts
. which hctelofort wore not considered crimes.
TUB JUDICIARY.
Wo' cannot repress a when We glance over
our different exchanges, to see (he various positions
occupied by the Federal party, on the of tho
election of Judges. Now we will state U os a re*
markable coincidence, (wo have no doubt a mere
matter of.accidonl,) that in sll\hose districts where
thoy.have the majority, they deem the nomination
of. Judges d highly prudent arid proper slip, as it is
tho most suitable way to select (be Judges and em
body sentiment, so as to prevent ifio rascally j
electing their own. monjwhcn they
have no right to .have Judges or any .thing else* to*
Justice honestly administrated by somu good Whig.
Bui lii thoee portions pf tho Fed*
erallsts are in's minority, they dcprooslb abovefall
things a political Judge, and ibipk il wquld soilftho
judicial ermine WnjHatnl the administration of jus.
tico,by electing atiy fnan to that high office by s
parly‘vote. Hence they are opposed and nail
to aU nominationȣqr Ujo judiciary. Tbia may be
all right, but il !s passing strsngo that ()id Federal*
isle have discovered this . important truth, as they
• deem it, in no district or county where they have
the majority. Our readers can draw their own in
forenecs. •
Keep It before (be People*
Thai Gov. Johnston tried to dofoa£ tho-TEN
HOUR LAW, and was mainly instrumental in pro*
curing the passage of the rnoviso which compels
children to work more than ten nouai, If done by
contract with.their parents or guardianf.
Keep U before the People*
That Johnston, In his message to the,Legislature
in 1849, recommended INCREASED TAXATION.
Keep It before (bo People*
That, llio expenses of the State GoTcrrimont, in
two years of Johnston's administration, have been
983,250 45 greater limn in tho same length oftime
under Got. Sliunk.
Keep 11 before (ho People;
That the amount of (axes assessed upon tho far*
mors and mechanics of Pennsylvania, for two years
under Gov. Johnston’s administration, 155342,598 47
greater than in tho samo period under Shunk.
Governor Johnston's Economy*
Gov. Johnston and his friends aro constantly slrl.
ving to impress tho people with tho belief that his
administration has boon a peculiar economical one,
says the Pittsburg Post. Lot us see what claims ho
has to the character of on economical public sorvtn
Tho expenses of the Slate Government under Gov,
StiUNK were In 1816, $316;C32 22, and in 1817
[5200,113 37 }—making for'tho two years the sum ofj
I $416,745 50 while the Slate expenditures under!
\Gov. Johnston wore, In 1640,5237,105'38,and Ini'
; 1860, $202,809 71 \ or, in the tWdyoars,ssoo,oos 00,1

, thousand txoo hundred and/ifly-nine dollars andji/ty>\

more than was expanded in two years of Gov. ShunkV*

THE LATHI PKpEnAr. CONVBNTION-.A.
RICH SCENE.
Mr. Editor— lt is lo bo regretted that (he editor
of tho Herald did not'publish (ho -full proceedings
of (ho lalo' Federal County Convention. Had ho
I dono 80, ho would havo. furnished something worth
I reading.! From all that oan bo loarn.cd, our friends,,
IhoFoderalists, must have had considerable “nolso
[and confusion ” during tho few hours they were
locked up In Education Hall. 0a tho subject of
| nominating Judges, tho scene must Have been deci
dedly rich and .interesting. It appears tho pole
gales from the, country, generally speaking, wore in
1 favor of nominating Judges. The Carlisle clique,
however, determined to manage' things their own
way, and resolved that no candidates should be nom
inated for Judges'. Tho rival factions root in Con
vonlion,’when a very interesting debate look place
on the subject. A Delegate from ono of the town
ships raised his voice to such a pilch as lo bo hoard
for a square or more.' “ Aro you again going to sell |
Iho VVhig party of this oounty ,lo the locofocos?"
asked this Federal orator. “Must tho Delegates!
from (ho country again be dictated to by Iwo or
three would-be leaders in Carlisle? Must wo yield
oUr principles, our honor, our opinions, and even sub
mit to be sold to the locofocos, merely because two or
throe men in Carlisle say so? 'Never! never!" The
speaker was going on at this furious rate, when ho
was suddenly called to “order” by a Delegate who
“spoke as if by authority.". A War of.words fob
l lowed,in. which a dozen or moro were engaged at tho
same time. - Ever and anon, however, eomc one of the
speakers would raise his voice lo tho highest key,
and such, disconnected sentences ’ and words os
“falsehood," " town clique," “tools of Bill‘John,
ston," “ Cooper disorganlzcrs," ‘‘ wo oan’t. bo sold
to tho loco-focos," “go to the d—l," “the wliolo
ticket , shall bo dofuated," &o. &c, wore distinctly
hoard outside tho building. Tho scene must indeed
have boon quite funny. .
. At length a vote was taken whether or hot candj.
dates for Judgos 'should, be placed on IhC ticket,
During tho voting all was silent as the grave, but it
was a quiet proceeding a storm. In - a few minutes
it was annplmccd that “the motipo.ifo nominate
Judges was defeated by one majority*!I*' 1 *' Another
'scene of confusion followed. Wo are.sold,"“ we
aro sold," exclaimed several delegates, as they rushed
down stairs into the street. A hearty iangh from the
victorious party was tho only reply. Such, Mr. Ed
itor, was the scone In (ho Fedora) convention on (ho
subject of nominating Judges. I heard many other
good things, which I will note down for tho edifice,
of your readers hcreofler.

That his course on these questions stands out in

i bo a demagogue unworthy to preside over tho dcsli-
I nice of the Keystone State.

should wo not be? Is’there any man on another

MUCH .LEGAL ERUDITION. ‘AND AS MUCH
CHARACTER AS COULD BE POUND IN ANY
FIVE CITIZENS OF THECOM MON WEAL 111.
