Carlisle Garrison.— We learn that an order
has been recently received by the officer in com
mand el the Carlisle Garrison, from the War De
partment, d irecting that the Garrison be changed
from a Dragoon to an Infantry poet. The distance
of the post from the frontiers, where Dragoons are
most needed, is the ground assigned for the change.
We are not informed when the new order will be
carried into effect.
We are requested 10 slate that the Dry Goods
Store of Mr. Oou.dy, will continue open for a few
days for the purpose of selling off, at cost, the
Goode belonging to that establishment. Thiele
a rare chance for bargains, which should not be

Fatal Accioknt.—Oq Monday morning loat,
about 6 o'clock, a mao named Moont, a resident o'
Sbippeniburg, waa killed by falling under the whceli
of a train of cara, near Nowvillo. Moony waa in
the employ of the Telegraph company, and at the
time of the accident was standing on tho platform
of a ear containing telegraph polls. The car with
the polls waa not in motion, and was ran into by
the freight (rain of cars going in the same direction.
The collision knocked him off tho platform, and,
falling across the truck, several cars paased over
him, literally grinding him to pieces. The morning
of the accident the atmosphere waa hcav/, making |
it difficult for the engincoi to aae the stationary oar
in time lo>pfsveot the collision. Tho oars (attained
considerable damage. On the same morning tome
Bor 18 bead'of cattle wore killed by the cars In the
vicinity of Ncwvillo. Those sro tho facts, as we
have gathered them. Whether any blame is attach
ed to the engineer having charge of the train, wo
have not learned.

d«j of the election, to create Iho impression that (ho
friends ofone candidate are trading off another.—
All snob majors may be credited at once to the
enemy, as no Democratic candidate or his friends,
wootd so disgrace themselves. The whole ticket
will be elected with a very amall effort, and the De
mocracy of this county, are just the boys then can
make that effort Tarn out, and let us give them a

“THOSE WHO ARM NOT FOR US ABB
AGAINST Dl.» x
No one will dispute the truth of the above saying.
And yet how common it is to hear.alippery Demo- '
crate eay—*'wo‘aro%ellll. Defoocrnts.buU intend to *
vote Tor a portion of the Whig ticket. 1 * They know
they speak what Is not (rue { they are .against ns, *
and therefore with the enemy. Let.' men who thus *
express themselves vote for.the Federal candidates, *
if they please, hot let them not insult those who aro ■
Democrats from principle, by pretending to be that *
which they are not. A true Democrat—one who is 1
actuated by an honest belief in the cardinal princi
ples of his party—can have no faith, no fellowship,
no confidence in the integrity of | the political
freebooter, who professes democracy with a view of
obtaining office, but who becomes hostile whenever
his selfish desires aro not gratified—who is begging
for office one day ond oorslng tho parly the neit. —
It is time, full time, such Democrats (?) wore per*
mined to retire quietly to the Federal party. They
sympathise with Federalism, and generally vote the
ticket of that party, and we say, and every true
Democrat will say, they have no right to call them,
selves Democrats. Disorgonizors can at all times
give a reason for their opoatacy; one year they will
oppose a candidate for Assembly' because be is for
or against a certain township road—another year
they oppose him because he refuses to answer im
pudent questions pul to him in regard to temperance.
Again, they make opposition to a candidate fur a
County office because ffteir favorite was not nomine
led —the year following they “kick out of the traces”
again, because of some little private difficulty' they
had with the grandfather of the candidate. Thus
they go on, and brood over imaginary grievances,
and hatch forth treason.
In this county, some of tho very men (not many
have been guilty of such base Ingratitude,} wbo thus
speak and thui aol, havo boon candidates on the
Democratic ticket themselves. Then ‘they talked
right, acted right, voted right. Then they were
willing to brand (bo “traitors” who dared disturb
(bo organization of (he parly with any of their base
designs. Then they were ready to mark tho "rec
i. roanl” who, at such a crisis, dared to lift bis impi
' ous arm against his brotherhood. Then they con*
sidored a nomination by tho Democratic party as
something almost sacred, and they talked loud about
f principles and duty. Then they would have cotlsid*
ered it an insult to their integrity for any mao to
have propounded questions to lAcm in regard to roads,
whiskey, fox scalps, and other subjects about which
every citizen baa a right to enjoy bis own opinion.
I Oh, yos, they were then (he nominees of tho Demo
cratic party, and as such (hoy considered themselves
entitled to the vote of every man professing the same
principles. They were elected—elected because 1
they professed to bo Democrats—served out (heir
* time In office, pocketed the emoluments, and then,
because they could not again be supplied with (ho ‘
crumbs of office, tarn roandjond revile the parly that
fed them, and slander and abuse the men who work
ed night and day to secure their election! Bose '
ingratitude. Men guilty of conduct like this, merit, 1
and generally receive, (he condemnation of honor. *
able men of all parlies. Too long has this work of
treachery been excused and palliated in Ibis county,
bat Democrats have become disgusted with the 1
heartlo ssness of certain men, and will not, in future, i
encourage disorganization or support the moo who
are guilty of it. That day has gono by when ihoto
calling themselves Democrats can, with impunity,
strike the Democratic ticket. 1
To Woik ( Democrat* I
To work, Democrats, to work ! The Utno is rap
idly aaproacliing when every Democrat will be called
upon to deposit his vote for the men who have been
■elected by the Demo cralic party as candidates lo
dll the various Slate sod County offices. Bat this
is not half that is required of (be Democracy of old
Mother Cumberland. Every township in the county
should be organized ! There should bo no postpone*
ment of the matter, until yon can buf imperfectly
effect an organization. Have every thing properly
arranged—let every man thoroughly understand his
duty, and when necessity requires perform U with
alacrity. Let vigilance, energy and zeal, charac
terise your labors.
Let ue all (Cj-PULL TOGETHER—
(C? WORK TOGETHER, and
C3* VOTE TOGETHER.
“In union there is strength." Without concerted
action, wo can accomplish nothing. Wo have a

Extensive Forgeries. —The New York Tribune
says (hat the Mr. Forsyth who sailed '••'’dculy for
Europe a few days ago, Is charged to have commit*
led forgeries to (ho amount of 1100,000 to $150,000,
principally upon his father and- father-in-law, and
obtained the moooy from Kingston, Hudson, Albany
and New York. On tho day that be loft he sold
$5,000 of paper to brokers, which has since been
paid by friends. Mr. F. had always stood high, and
in money matters had extensive credit, prodooing,
as occasion required, largo amounts of the best se
curities. Gambling was probably the cause of his
delinquency. Ho owed $3,000 to one of tho most
notorious gamblers. .
A New Candidate for Judge.— We- lesrn from
tho Msunch Chunk Gazette that it is in conloropla
tion, by the opponents of M. M. Dimmick, to run
Hon. James M. Porter for Judge of that District.—
Mr. P., in answer to questions upon that subject,
states that "if tho people saw fit to take him up and
elect him ho would serve. 0 Thus far no county in
the District has expressed itself In favor of M. M.
. Dimmick except Carbon. In Moruos county (wo
set of Delegates were elected, one sot for Barrett and
one for Dimmick ; and in. Wsyno county the con
ferees are in favor of William H, Dimmick.

A POLITICAL BRASSHOWEB. : ,

Ntwt le a political grasshopper, and nothing cUo— *
ono who Is constantly making ail ugly noise, the
object of which nobody but himself can conceive.—
Because, forsooth, we, In our last, mentioned the cir
cumstance that Mr. Koonb had received the nomi
nation of the Prohibitory Law men, for Assembly,
this pigmy 'editor bristles up, and, in bis own pecu
liar style, applies to us all sorts of low
epithets. And yet at the very out-sot in his article
ho admits exactly what wo had elated, namely, that
“the. Prohibitory Law men had, adopted Mr.'KooNs
as (heir c&ndidate, instead of Mr. Moser, who de
dined the nomination.” Hie statement and our own
in regard to Mr. Koons* nomination are precisely the
some, and what the fellow , has “got bis back op”
about, it la difficult to divine.
Our object, In 'making mention of Mr. Koonb’
nomination, the editor appears to think, was to do
that gentleman an injury by driving from his support
those men wlio are opposed to the Maine Law.—
Well, then, Mr. Grasshopper, please let the people
know what Mr. Koonb* views are in regard to this
subject. You say that “Mr. Koons and the Whig
party Will bo thankful for Iho Temperance vole,"
and that tho Temperance men in the upper end will
support him for Assembly. But yet you think that
our object in publishing Mr. Koons as the nominee
of the Prohibitory men, wes to defeat bis election !
Ilow 7 Is he hot (bo nominee of the Prohibitory
Law men 7 The Newt admits Ibis. Is ho not favor,
able to the Maine Law 7 Tho Newt dare not deny
(his. Is he not at this very time a member of a
Prohibitory Law association, and did ho no I. last
winter, sign petitions, asking tho Legislature to pass
a law similar in its provisions to tho Maine Law 7
Lot any of Mr. Koons* friends answer these ques
tions in the negative if (hey dare, and we ere pre
pared to prove them. Wo are warranted in saying,
therefore, that io the event of Mr. Koons* election to
the Legislature, (a bright legislator ho would make,
to-be-suro,) be will vole for the Maine Law. Ho ia
the nominee of the Moino law men, and is pledged
to do their bidding.
And why should the Newt object to Mr. Koons
being identified with the Maine Law movement 1—
That paper, if our memory serve us, has advocated
the Prohibitory movement. Ah, we see ! The editor
and Mr. Koons desire to carry water on both shoul
ders—they are attempting to blow hot and cold with
the same breath—they want the votes of the oppo
nents of the Maine Law, and they are ready to cheat
this portion of oar fellow citizens. The Nexee wants
to elect a Prohibitory Law man. to the Legislature*
by the aid of those t oho are opposed to ouch a taw I
Ah, Mr. Grasshopper, you sro more green than the
most of your species, if you think le-gull intelligent
voters by any such miserable stratagem. Your
effort is a mean and base one, and he who attempts
this kind of trickery with the people of old.Motber
Cumberland, will eventually sink so deep in'tofamy
“that the band of resurrection will never reach him."

Sunday to a traveller named Wright, in accord
ance with the first section of the provision of an
act of Assembly “for the prevention of vice and
immortality, and of unlawful gaming, and to re
strain disorderly sports and dissipation, 11 which is
in the following words: “If any person shall do
or perform any worldly employment or business
whatsoever on the Lord’s Day, commonly called
Sunday, works of charily and necessity excepted,
or shall use or praclice ony unlawful game, bant
ing, shooting, sport or diversion whatsoever, on
the same day, and be convicted thereof, every such
person so offending shall' for every such offence,
forfeit and pay four dollars, to be levied by dis
tress, &c., &0.,” with a proviso annexed excepting
the.dressing of victuals in taverns, inns, bake
houses, private families, the travelling of milk
carts, the ferrying of water passengers, &c., &c.
Tho defendant assigned two errors.
Ist. That (he sale of liquor lo tho traveller
(Wright) was not an offence against the act, be
cause it was within the proviso.
2d. That the act is not applicable to persons
licensed to keep an inn or tavern under the act of
11th of March, 1834, and its supplements.
The Court assumed that the offence was not a
work of charity or necessity, because the defend
ant does not allege it was, and because lie con
viction characterizes it as contrary to tho aol of
Assembly.
The Court decided that the oftenccidid fall with
in the oct, as the proviso excepted only the dress
ing of victuals in taverns, &c., &c.
In regard to the second error advanced, the
Court decided that six days of enjoyment of the
licensed monopoly would suffice to provide stran
gers with that measure of accommodation which
the Community were bound to furnish. But if not
sufficient some other plan must be devised. Sun
day could not be given op: strangers and travel
lers had no right to demand hospitality at euch a
price. Rest one day in seven was enforced by
the precept and example.of the Author of our ex
istence, and government, acting on the Divine ap
pointment, had made it a civil institution. It was
contended that the license gave the right to sell
for each of the 365 days of the year, and hence it
was inferred that the act of ’94 was repealed to
(hem. As well might it be argued that a contract
of hewing for a year would control a laborer to
work on Sundays, or that an auctioneer who is
licensed for a year, might pursue bis business on
the 62 Sundays in the year.
The Court regarded the sale of liquor on Sun
day by licensed innkeepers as worldly employ
ment within the prohibition of the act of ’94, and
did not fall within the proviso of the act, therefore
was not lawful to be done on Sunday.
The conviction of the defendant was proper i and
judgment was affirmed.
Judge Lewis read a dissenting opinion but his
arguments were founded on several technical er
rors committed by the Magistrate, and did not en
ter upon ihe merits of the case.—-Pittsburg Pott,
