ferent townships ore requested to coll at our
ofiico and got them.
£7"Onr neighbor of the Herald thinka wo
«re not liberal, because we refuse to publish
Mr. Todd’s delectable Card. In answer we may
state that we never give “aid and comfort” to
on enemy, by granting him the use of our col
umns—wo arc not quite liberal enough for
that.
“Spruit op Jefferson.”—Simpson K. Don-
AVIN, Esq., formerly of this county, and who
served his apprenticeship with us in this office,
has become one of tho proprietors and editors
oftho “Spirit of Jefferson," a prominent and
fnJTucntj'al Democratic paper, published at
Charlestown, Va. Mr. D. is a young *man of
more than ordinary abilities—a finished scholar,
good writer, and unflinching Democrat. Wo
doubt not, under the joint management .of
Messrs. Lucas & Donavin the Spirit of Jeffer
son wilt maintain its present high reputation.
Trom our heart wo wish them success.

land Valley InstUuc, of which thellcv. Jos. 8.
Loose is Principal. The fall session, it will bo
seen, will commence on tho Ist of November,—
The reputation of this Institution is so well
known, that it would seem almost superfluous
in ns to refer to it. Suffice it to say it is now
vn a roost prosperous condition, os it deserves
to. bo. Tho female department is entirely sep
arate from tho male, and is under the control of
highly competent and experienced teachers.—
The buildings arc now, spacious, and well ar
ranged, and no pains have been spared to add
to tho comfort, improvement and health of tho
students in attendance.
l£y".‘Tn a fierce onslaught upon our neighbor
of the Volunteer, the Perry Advocate styles Us
editor John Bedini Bratton. Keep cool, gentle
men.”—Carlisle Herald*
Perhaps tho editor of tho Herald might bo
curioua to know what Mr. Todd, his candidate 1
ibr Congress, styles him. It is but a very short '
time since that Mr. T. applied some of his '
choicest epithets to our neighbor of tho Herald. '
With such utter contempt and scorching scvcri- '
ty did ho speak of Mr. Beattt, that those who
heard him felt not only shocked but ashamed.
Wo hare too much respect forour readers to
peat Mr. Todd’slanguage,at present,but still wo
will ask their indulgence to permit us to do bo,
provided our neighbor requests it. Now, neigh
bor, you have told your readers what Todd
(through his organ) styles us,
do you desire to know what be thinks of you 1
fiay the word, if you do.

County Convention has named la
,tho duty of every true Democrat to support it,
and none bat a factious disorgahizer willpur
sue any other course.® -
Our candidate for Congrcss, J.,'ftx.LTS Don
ham, Esq., is so Well known to the people of this
bounty as a high-minded honorable man, that
\fc dccm’it iutncCcsSary ‘to speak of him,atany
length, in this article.: : Suffice It to say he is a
young man of pre-eminent abilities—a .ripo
scholar, eloquent and fluent speaker, ■ and : a
statesman by nature. That bo will bo elected
by a tremendous majority is as certain as that
the 'son will rise on the second Tuesday of
October.” ;
Our candidates for Assembly, Messrs. Moseu
and'Ciiesndt, arc both “good men and true.”
Mr. Moseb represented, in part, this county in
the last Legislature, and his. straight-forward
and upright course proved him worthy the con
fidence of bis constituents. He is a man .of
great industry, and was regarded by his fellow?
members as possessing great moral worth and
integrity of character.' .His colleague .on tho
ticket. Col. Chesnut, is a hard-working farmer,
who ■understands the wants and wishes of the
people of this county as well as man in it.
In tho Democratic ranks ho has performed yeo
man’s service, and deserves the gratitude of tho
entire party. Etc is a man of intelligence and
experience. In the event of his election (of
which there can bo no doubt,) ho will, wo feel
confident, discharge tho duties of a legislator
with credit to himself and profit to-his con
stituents.
, The next on tho ticket is Daniel K- Noel,
for Prothonotary. , We have known Mr. N.
since our boyhood, and have always found him
tho same straight-forward, honest and obliging
man and true Democrat. . He will make a most
excellent and agreeable officer - , being a man of
affable and pleasing manners and a finished En
glish scholar. Of his election there can be no.
doubt whatever.
For Clerk of the Courts tho Convention select
ed our respected John M. Gregg.
Mr. G. has always been a steadfast Democrat,
and a sober, industrious and worthy , citizen,
commanding the respect and confidence of men
of all parties. He is a mechanic,but from phys
ical disability was compelled to givoup his trade,
and for the last couple of- years has followed
school-teaching for a livelihood. In point of
capacity ho has few if any equals, and if elect
ed (which ho will be) will make a safe, compe
tent end obliging officer. , a . ■
William Lytle of Ncwvillc, is tho candi
date for Register. Few' men in the upper end
of the county have rendered. more essential ser
vice to the Democratic party thanßitLT Lytle,
and no one, in our humble opinion, is more de
serving the support of every true Democrat.—
Mr. L., like most of;the other candidates,• is
poor, with a family dependent upon him for
support. Ho is a liberal, wjiolc-soulcd man,
•with “his heart in his hand and his hand open”
to all. That he will, ns he ought to be, ejected
by a triumphant majority, is very generally
conceded. • '
IQborqbM. (UnsitAU, the nomfnco'ftr County
Commissioner, is admirably qualified for the
post, being a man of sorting 'integrity, having
experience and a knowledge of tho affairs of the
county. 110 is nowonoof tho Commissioners
by appointment of the Court, and for tho short
time he has been in office, discharges his duties
with great promptness and fidelity. lie is just
such a man as a County Commissioner should
be—one having a knowledge of tho value of the
real estate of tho county, and whose only object
is to subserve the interests of, the people. His
election we consider a “fixed fact,?’ for wo feel
certain tbo tax-payers .have unlimited coufi*
dcncc in him, and will rally.to his support.
That unflinching Democrat, Col. John Clen
deniK, is the nominee for Director of tho Poor.
Col. 0. is a gentleman of decided intelligence,
kind and humane, and qualified, in an eminent
degree, for this position. Ho deserves, and
should receive, the vote of every man who lias
tho welfare and comfort of the
at heart. *
Isaac Rixowalt of Carlisle, ond Jacob
Steinman' of Slilppcnsburg, arc tho candidates
for Auditor. They arc both clever and worthy
men and good'accountants, and have always,
through good as well as through evil report, re
mained true to the faith of Democracy.
Buchj fcllow-Dcmocrats, is the ticket present

from lop to bottom. Bo active, bo firm, op

Nothinglsm is only a cunning Whig trap, and

next elections take place. Tho evidences ot

men of nil parties, and tboy will testify 'that
alarm at tho ballot-box, where it will be ofibc.

A number of old-line Whigs are out openly for

Thatwe do not misapprehend the meaning of
Mr. Todd's catdj _ia very manifest fcom'’the ex

Again,-what'do tho Whig-lCnow-Notiling-
Conferees, who nominated Mr. Toon, say ?
These Conferees-are known as the moat hitter
and intoleranfWhigs and Know-Nothings of

M’Cartny, James M. Allen and Dr. Cathcarl,
(what a trio!)’ Well, what .do these Whigs,
these : bitter, blue-light Whigs; say of Lemuel
Topd 1 Why they pass the following reac
tion : • •
“Rciohed, That wo recommend tho Whiffs ot
this district to vote for Ltauhi, Todd, EbuT, of
Carlisle, the independent candidate, whoso views
relative to the varied Interests of Pennsylvania,
and also in relation to the extension of slavery
over territories now free, are similar to their own,
and tho opposite ol those of Mr. Bonham, whoso
freo trade and pro-slavery opinions are oi the
most ultra and objectionable nature.”;.
Hero then wo Imro Mr. Todd a Whig, not
Only.from,his own declarations, but from the
declarations of tho constituted organs of tho
Whig party—the Whig papers of this ebunty,
and the Whig' Conferees who placed him' in
nomination. Wcfecl curious, ofUr this expose,
to know who aro tho Bogus Democrats .that
will vole for Todd, Stand from under!

The New Castle Journal informs'us that the
editor of that paper had an opportunity of
hearing Judge Pollock address a few of tho
people in tho Bolling Mill of tho Cosalo Iron
works. As a speaker, ho will hardly compare
with a third rate lawyer. There is nothing a
bout him. like humor, neither has ho tho power
to condense thought essential to produce com
viction in tho minds of his audience, lid com
menced by staling .that he was a stranger in the
njgrnhig, and now he felt as if he were at home.
His harranguo was Abolitionism of the rankest
kind—thattho Declaration of Independence and
the Constitution of tho United Stales were Aboli
tion documents—lie made a grand and sublime
flourish on tho European war; but we could not
fully define hi.* position ns he complimented the
Queen, Emperor, Sultan and (ho Czar.
Towards the close of his speech lie advocated
tho giving away of (he public works— hit some
fellows in tho empoly of tho Administration for
measuring cordwood twice—complimented our
Common Schools—was opposed to n division of
thcSchoolftind—was in favor of universal lib
erty in ChurefTand Slate—at this point of bis
subject wo’were expecting to hear something
from.him on tho subject of Know-Nothlnglsra;
but he went off ogain on tho question of slavery
and finally made a halt on the infamous Ne
braska bill, and siid tho people of those terri
tories had not the right orself-government.
. His concluding remarks were on 1 homo-hc
spoke very feelingly on this point’,, when tho
audience,cheeked that -they
should bo pleased to let him remain there.
