THE SECRET OUTS The Herald of last week has a lengthy, article on the subject*of the election of two Whigs and one Democrat as Judges. The article, it orally supposed, was sanctioned and dictated by Iddge Watts himself. For. the purpose of eon* ilnoingoar friends of the real object the Federalists of this county bad In view in form ing the amalgamation ticket, we select from' the article the following sentence: . “It must be plain to every Whig , that if we wish to secure the election of Judge Watts, a un ion with our political opponents is the gnly means by which we can succeed . On this ground, there fore, the Independent ticket is formed.” There—the secret is but at last. The object of the “union” is the defeat of Mr. Graham. So it appears the Federalists care very little about their candidates for Associate Judges after all. If they can elect Judge Watts.they will have accomplish ed the object had in view by the three or four men in Carlisle who nominated the “Independent Ju dicial Ticket.” This is a frank admission on the part of the Herald t and we think it will hare the effect to. open the eyes of the Democrats of this county. What Democrat will countenance a plot, the object of which is the defeat of the Democratic candidate for President Jodgel Democrats of Cumberland, your political oppo nents are attempting to blindfold you, and seduoe you from duty. If they succeed in this base at tempt at they will laugh at you after yon have voted, and discovered the trick. Be wide awake, then, and Spurnthe offers of your adversa ries. Stick to your own ticket,and battle for your own principles. DBUOORhTSi SUPPORT TOUR COUNTY TICKET. . Never had the Democracy of Cumberland coun ty a more gloriouschance for gaining a brilliant victory than at the coming election.

JOHNSTON AND THB PUBLIC THBA> SUBY. Gov. Johnston prates much about Me replenish ing the Commonwealth’s treasury, but bo is care ful not to say one word about hie attempt to filch from it. He not only charged the Commonwealth, and actually received mileage for going to Harris burg to assume the duties of the office of Governor —a thing unheavd of—but he also .demanded from the State Treasurer pay at Governor, at the rate of twelve hundred andfifty pounds, whilst he was act ing ss Governor by virtue of his office as Speaker of the Senate, under the act of 1791, which pro- that As Senate he shall ? vxere?«f -bf~^rernoWnoaee^prSridSd for in the Constitution shall receive “at the rate of twelve hundred and fifty pounds per annum/*— thus attempting to take out of the treasury* illegal ly, much grealei than he was entitled to un der the laws in existence at the time, and of which he was fully aware'. Here then we have a bare faced attempt of his Excellency to take s frooa the Treasury of the Commonwealth, illegally, a large sum of money for the purpose of appropriating it to bis own use, and yet this economical Governor tells the people that na has provided ways and means for supplying funds and extinguishing the Slate debt! Bui perhaps the Governor has forgotten this at tempt upon the public funds, inasmuch as he fail ed in accomplishing his object, but we dare him to a denial. Wo are prepared proof, if ne cessary, to establish the fact, that he did make such demand of the then Slate Treasurer, and in sisted upon Us payment. The Treasurer, however, refused to pay and here the matter ended, Gov. J. not daring to expose himself by attempting to com pel the Treasurer to pay his illegal claim. Such, then, is the man whoasks you to support him because of hie “guarding the public Trea -BUfy"__a man who, during his oflioial career, has been endeavoring to prey upon it. -Will the peo ple of Pennsylvania longer permit him to occupy a poeition which affords him an opportunity to put his hands into the public purse when he pleases? We are convinced they will not., OUR TICKET. The jP«wityloonifln,l n speaking of the Democrat, io ticket nominated in this county, says: Cumberland County, with Juniata and v Perry, form the Judicial district, and the Democrats of etch have presented, by a unanimous vote, the pow erful name ofJAUsa H. Graham, as the Democratic candidate for President Judge—an indication of victory in October of the most gratifying character. Cumberland County baa put In nomination the fol lowing sftong Democratic ticket. We rejoice to see that Bonham has consented to oome back to.the Legislature, where, iu the remnant of Mr. Church’s last term, he distinguished himself by many of the loftiest qualities of a legislator and an orator, end above all, by his sincere and enthusiastic champion ship of Democratic principles. ■HOLER CLOD ÜBETINQ" The largest meeting jot held by the Carlisle Big ler Club convened at Aleorn'e tavern, in this bor ough, on Saturday evening last.

TUO Herald jpf Uit wcekoxults over tho PrboU-1 motion ofGoy. Johnston, informing tho people that | 9659,132 98 of Ibo State debt has been liquidated by'the-operation of ihe Sinking Fund. This is certainly good news, and the people have reason to be thankful to a Democratic board of Canal Com missioners, a. Democratic Auditor General, a Dem ooratlo State Treasurer, and to Democratic Legis latures for their vigilance and energy In behalf of! the Stale. But,- the object of tho Herald ,■ in pub lishing the Proclamation, was to give Johnston the credit of paying off this amount of the Slate debt! Gov. Johnston, who has been absent from the.seal of Government, and neglecting the duties of his office for the last live months, now returns home, and at tempts to rob faithful 'public servants of their toil, economy and vigilance, and appropriate the frails of their labor to himself! What had Gov. Johnston to do With the payment of the sum mentioned in tho Proclamation? Why should, he who attempted last winter to INCREASE THE STATE DEBT ONE MILLION OF DOLLARS, by borrowing that amount of shinplastere from the banks, and which he was prevented doing by the firmness of a Dem« ocralic Legislature—why should hp, we ask, .Awe attempt to appropriate credit to himself for the pay ment of. this amount ofthe Slate debt? The fiasn acll measure called the Sinking Fund was created during Gov. Shunk’s administration, and has been carried into effect by Democratic officers. And yet GoV. Johnston who is. two thirds of bis lime neg lecting his duties, and who can have no knowledge of. the condition of the public Treasury, modestly tells the people that he has paid off the amount men tioned in the Proclamation! Never was a greMel fraud attempted to be practised, upon (hs people.—j - Gov. Johnston hsd no more Coda with the payment of this portion of tho State debt,-lhan the editor of the Herald himself. The Governor, it is well known, was anxious (a inereaee the Slate debt, daring the late session of tho Legislature, and, had the Federal ists had a majority in tho two Houses, he would have succeeded in adding additional debt upon the people. And yet he' has the face to claim credit for the present payment! But, why was this Proclamation issued at this particular time? What object was in view? In a late speech delivered by Senator Bockalxw, of Co lumbia county, made at a Democratic meeting, at Bloomsburg, on the 11th of August, ho gives a very striking exposition of tho humbug expedient alluded We copy it as follows, and hope oar readers will peruse it carefully, bearing, as It does, bo forcibly upon the new attempt of Johnston to deceive the people. After, pointing out, with great clearness, that the whole Sinking Fund project wae invented two-thirds of a century ago in England, and thaHfae idea. upon which Johnston bases his last appeal 10 popular support, was actually 6rsl embodied in a law in this State in 1846, by the present Derhoertlio candidate for Governor, Col. Bigler, then in the Senate, and by the Hon. J. M. Burrell, of West moreland, then in the House, Mr. Bocxalkw goes on to say * But, the act of IBl9<conlains somo sections addi tional to those already mentioned, which are, with out any doubt both original ond extraordinary ;«l tboagh they constitute no* necessary part of the system contemplated by Iho act. It is these additions to the sinking fund, that I desire to call your atten tion particularly, as there is good reason for yielding to Johnston the claim of their paternity, as nothing like them exists in the legislation of any country on the globe. • The 4lh section is in these words:' 11 Section 4. That U shall be the duly of the said Commissioners (of the sinking fund,) on (ho Jirtt Monday qf September in (ho year one thousand eight hundred and fifty one, and on the same day in every (third year thereafter, *to certify the amounV4f I& debt of the commonwealth, held by them lo tttfcj porernor wfrpshaH direct the coftifieaiea.rMWtfarf(S and on” sitofiJßwA<wl(|£ (ion issue his proclamation, s(ating the fact of the extinguishment and final disohargo of so much of (he principal of said debt." Now what is (be (rno significance of Ibis section 7 for it has an occult as well as an apparent meaning. I Let it be kept In mind that the fiscal or business yser of the Commonwealth begins on the first day of j December and ends on tlio last day of November. This division of lime Is found convenient snd is ton. j sequent!/ rcoogniicd in our legislation. The oloMng up of the annual transactions of the Slate at that] date permits all the various public officers their reports made up lo lay before tho Legislators at its meeting in January, and such is accordingly the practice. The Governor, Secretary of the C >m. monweaUh, Auditor General, Canal Commlsslor ere, and Stale Treasurer each communicate to the Li gis. laluro at tliat lime under provisions of the cons ila tion and laws; the first by message and the o lers by reports. And the Treasurer and Auditor Oe trsl In particular, (the operation of whoso deparlh mis are very much connected.) report fully npoii the subject rf the finances of tho Commonwealth 1 Bin ding the operation oflho Sinking Fund. Why then does the 4lh section of tho aclofl >49, which I have just read, provide that a report hall bo made by the Commissioners of the Sinking \ and at an unusuel time instead of the tisUal tlr iin January? Why on tho first of September, dtiing the fiscal year of tho Stale, and not at Its cUIeT Why is this report lo be made every third jearjsnd the first report exactly on the lit ofSeplcmber, IoH 7 The purpote tecs to re elect Wm, F.

The main objeet y as not to befriend tho ptople of Pennsylvania in He payment of their debt, but to re elect an Arma(r> ig county lawyer—tho father of Relief Notes and he friend of Abolitionists—to the office of Ooverr )r, You will observe that thla triennial report Is to be made not to the Legislature, where such reports p propriatoly belong, but lo the Governor} that ufito the time of each report the debt paid off Is oonsidokd tinjxstd, and draws interest; that upon report the Oeuernor U-lo order tho cancellation or destruction of Ilia certificates of debt, so that the po (ual extinguishment of debt shall appear aa Ms act: and that thereupon, just six weeks before (As election, he shall issue a flaming proclamation to the people, announcing tho payment of so much of the public debt! And then wo are told that Gov. Johnston and his wonderful Sinking Fund have done the whole business! And that tho financial abilities of the 'Executive are at least equal to those of Alexander Hamilton and Wm. Pill. Do yon not perceive that In pursuance of the Intention in view, the Governor •truck the key note of the music In his speech i Lancaster, end has been followed by his file loaders all over the Bute, In a paean of praise to the Blok ling Fund? ll was desirable to direct the public i mind beforehand In each a manner as lo give «Cull 1 and salutary effect to the September proclamation 7 | That wonderfiil document, gentlemen, la soon coming, in all the beauty of largo type and under the greet Seal of Ibe Commonwealth.

The Duty of the Democrats to all their Reg* nlar Nominations. Wo have already culled tho attention of the people of the Stale of Pennsylvania to'the State and Na tional issues involved in the contest to bo decided |on the 14th of October. Happily they are so plain Ito the popular understanding that all who run may road. Tho same In tho east and in tho west, the I same in the north and in the south, they challenge investigation and defy contradiction. Hundreds and thoffsanda of voles in Pennsylvania, heretofore class ed among our opponents, are convinced by the po sition the Pennsylvania-Democracy ' occupy before tho Union, and attest their admiration of it by open*. Jy espousing tho cause of BIGLER and CLOVER. Indeed, in every part of the country rational men of all parties hail us as brethren, and . watch with intense anxiety tho result of a canvass; in which one sido is so broadly committed to tho Constitution of the United Slates and all its guarantees, while the other is pledged to unite with, tho agitators and tho'abolitionists, who contemplate a peaceful and prosperous future at Ibo certain destruction ,of all their own hopes of personal advancement on the one hand, and of political ruin on the other., Such, iii brief, is tho distinc} and plain attitude ofthe Pennsylvania Democracy. It is a spectacle well calculated to inspire llie loftiest-emotions of.pleas ure and of pride. Our victory, however, should not only bo a decis ive, but a glorious one. It should not only purge the departments of State, of those who now mis manage and misrepresent aIL-our groat interests, but it should do so by mujoritiesHnal will bo hailed from sea to sea, and from tho mountains of the farthest cast to the wildernesses of the remotest west, as the proud pledge of the Central State of tho Republic, of venerated devotion to the Constitution.- Our tri umph should not be marred by animosities, that only help tlio enemy and hurl ourselves. Tho Dem ocrat who, in such a contest, so full of all (he most ennobling auspices of success, so full ofinducemenls to patriotic duty, so identified With our best hopes of Union and of Country—the. Democrat who, in such a contest, by his hostility or indifference to ohy part of tho ticket, seeks totiinrthe.lustro of tho triumph that awaits us, will regret it for the remain der of his life. v Look to It well, fellow citizens. Your surrender supposes yon are partially dissatisfied, and what is comparatively little to (lie great good which your acquiescence and ardor—for all the nominations wilt help to achieve. This whole government is one of concession. If it were not so it .could not exist a day, or it could only exist as a mockery and an admonition. It is the great glory of the Dem ocratic party, (hat, next to the Constitution itself, It is probably the most effective organization in favor of popular liberty, that (he world has ever seen. The! members of that parly have made It so, by their devotion to the majority, and by their on-, thusiaatio.attachment to its principles. And now, when hundreds of thousands of our former ' political adversaries attest, by the acknowledgement of Its patriotism, its Incomparable value to the country, why should any Democrat hesitate a moment to strive with all tils might for the entire Democratic ticket.; ' *■ Surely (he cry of “incompolency," raised against a portion of (ho Slate ticket nominated at Harris* burg, cannot mislead you from the performance of your plain and honest duly. Let us remember that those that make this charge were among the very first to concede ability they now blindly deny. We do not desire to draw invidious comparisons in'such a place, between Democratic and Whig.candidates, but the Democrat who hesitates when this charge is made, should reflect that the very partisans who ful minate Ilf have repeatedly solicited voles for the highest offices in the country, for - those who wore confessedly incompetent. Again, a charge Is made that a portion of tbo same ticket is corrupt. And even when this is made, the same presses -and poll, ticians that resort to it, inoofts your voles for Judi cial candidates tainted with the bad odor of exploded banks and wanton dereliction of official duty. To erase one name from the Democratic standard, is to aHJ the very parly whoso leaders arc now'opposing aa imperilled Union and a threatened Constitution. In a rocenl.addrosß we enforced, at some length, the ndbessily of a Democratic Judiciary in a Democrat ic country; but in no aspect Is that necessity more imposing (bap.in the relation of the Judiciary of flliflVftUa to the rights of the Slates, and to the en i ibrcemenl of tho obligations upon each member of Ui» ooofederaojr to observe the. rights of alf, This is Democratic doctrine,- and it should be written upon the hearts and memories of all our countrymen as the first political lesson that a republican should leach his children. Let the Democrat, when appealed to “trade off” hie vote, by accusations against eettain of the Dem ocratic Judical candidates, recall the fate of all fab* rioalions that ingenious malice lias invented against tho representatives of Democratic principles. The alleged “ incompetenoy ” of JACKSON, who be lieves it now? The “obscurity” of JAMES K. POLK, widely and vehemently; asserted; has it served to make his glorioos administration less wor thy ortho veneration and the gratitude of posterity 1 How glad tho authors of the attacks upon FRAN CIS R. SHUNK are to bury tho recollections of thoso attacks in the deep bosom of tho ocean I Tried by time, tested by tho ordoal of impartial ex perience; tho pure metal is rendered ten times purer when subjected to the seven times boated furnaces of persecution; and calumny itself wonders at the utter poverty of its resources when Us inventions aro exposed. The future will establish this truth in the history of tho Democratic Judicial ticket; and when tho citizen in other days observes with ad miration and prido how nobly and how righteously —how fearlessly and how calmly—tho high duties oftho highest Judiciary, aro discharged by the gen' tlcmen now before u», as candidates for that tribu nal, he will wonder at the malignity which sought to impugn the' ability, capacity, integrity and ex perience of BLACK.

A most awful and melancholy tragedy occurred at a place called Chrietijcina, on tho Columbia' railroadj in Lancaster counlyii on Thursday of last week, by: which a citlecn of Maryland lost his life, two of three others were badly wounded, and two are mis sing, supposed to bo dead. The persons killed were a Mr. Gorsueh, end ah old gentleman who resided near Baltimore.. Those wounded and missing wore officers accompanying the Messrs. Gorsueh. It appears that Mr. Gorsueh was the owner of two fugitive slaves from his plantation, and accom panied by his two sons, the deputy marshal from Baltimore,' and police officers from Philadelphia, he proceeded to Christiana for the purpose of arresting the fugitives ond‘ taking them back to Maryland. From the best reports we learn that-tho colored population iii the vicinity, having been informed of tho nature of the visit oftho,officcra lb. Christiana, held a meeting, and asked, the opinion of several leading abolitionists to what coarse (hoy should pursue. ‘ Tho answer was, one ofthe most current reporta state, that they should stand their, ground. Accord ingly about eighty negroes assembled, with guns, &.C.; and secreted themselves in ihe neighboring woods and cornfield. The signal of attack on tho officers was.the blowing of a horn. When the officers come' upon tho party, they were surrounded on oil sides, and a deadly fire poured upon them by the negroes. The elder Mr. Gorsueh was shot dead by ono of the fugitive slaves, of whom ho was owner. When the son saw the father fall, he dreW his revolver, and fired on the.slave, wounding him in the arm; at this moment a large party of negroes, who had been con cealed, rashed out and assailed tho young man with guns and . clubs until he was left on (he ground in. sensible. He’cannol recover. The rioters scattered in every direction, and the fugitives made thoir escape. ' It is said that the white people residing in tlio neighborhood of (he scene refused,to assist (he offi cers, ondwould afford no facilities for the pursuit of the murderers who escaped. They .refused even (ho use of their w&gons and horses. No arresls were made. . . .. This is a most shocking and deplorable event; and the blood of those who foil must rest upon (he. souls of the men who aro guilty of inciting the. riol, whether it has been by openly urging the negroes to commit murder or by indirectly sopping the founda- tions of our institutions, by teaching resistance to our lawe and rebellion against the Constitution. Men who advocate a resistance to .into'aro enemies to the peace, order and well being of society ; and it is 'manifest that if such sentiments prevail to any extent, the bonds of society toiil he broken atunder, and anarchy, confusion and rapine must ensue. These Infatuated negroes, iiavo but carried out in practice what the abolitionists and disunionisle as sert in principle. They have only obeyed the advice of those whom, they considered their friends. Men who were in no danger of being arrested, have been swayed by tho pernicious Influence of tho doctrines taught them by whites, and made themselves acces sories to murder, and are now liable to.(he penalties of the law or forced to flee from ihe peaceable en* joy mcnl of their homos. - This is 'among fruiU of the preaching of self styled philanthropists who adviso reeietanee to this fates of Congreee , which provides for the.restore-, lion of fugitives from labor to their owners or ma sters. ' It Is among the first fruits of Gov. Johnston's setting public opinion at defiance, and endangering (he peace and safety of society by pocketing the law of last session, passed to give justice to tho owners of.slaves, and render obedience to tho Constitution of (he United Slates.
