President Pierce at UARnisDcna.— During
oar rail to tho Stale fair, at Harrisburg, last
week, we had the pleasure of taking by the
hand the President of the United Stales. Qen.
Pierce is a gentleman of fine address and easy
manners, and in conversation lively and inter
esting. Bis speech at the Fair (which we pub
lish to-day,) was delivered without preparation,
and was received with great enthusiasm. As
an orator ho has few if any equals in our coun
try. His voice is as clear as a bell and musi
cal as a harp, and his gestures graceful and
natural. Tho ladies all agreed ho won the
handsomest man at the Fair, and in this opin
ion wc had to concur. Tho cares and perplex
ities of his very responsible cilice have, how
ever, placed another wrinkle on his manly
brow, and given him a more care-worn counte
nance than ho wore when elected : still he is
bouyant in Spirit, and,when animated, is "him
self again." The President was highly pleased
with tho Fait and with tho cordial reception he
received on his arrival at Harrisburg. Ho left
for Bom* on Friday morning.
MEETING AT THIf BUEJfT DISTRICT.
The Democratic mooting held at the “Burnt
District” on Saturday lust, was well attended.
Long before the hour appointed for the assem
bling of tho meeting, crowds of Democrats could
be soon In every direction wending their way to
the place selected. The meeting was organized
by tho appointment of that staunch old Demo
crat Thomas Uusnonrr, as President, who was
assisted by a number of Vico Presidents and
Secretaries.
Col. A. G. Eqb being called upon, addressed
(He meeting at eorao length, showing conclusive
ly that the principles promulgated and advoca
ted by the Know. Nothing parly, arc t niton, cor
rupt, and dangerous to cinl and religious llh
•rty.
Taos. M. Biddle. Esq., next look the stand,
and in a neat and truly eloquent manner showed
up the “dark lantern parly” In their tine colors.
Ho also urged upon the meeting the importance
of turning out to the election mi Tuesday next,
and by way of assuring him tlint they w ould all be
there, they gave three cheers for “itio ticket, tho
whole ticket, and nothing but the ticket.”
The President, Mr. Mcxnonrr. next address
ed the meeting, and It was plain to bo seen that
with him tho enemies of Democracy could ex
pect no favors. Ills address was appropriate,
and well received by the meeting.
We never attended a political meeting that
a/Tordod us more real pleasure than tho meeting
at tho “Burnt Dlstricf’dld. and too much pmlsc
cannot bo given to Judge Wooduubji for the
deep interest ho takes in keeping up tho Demo
crallc party in his district.

to’the balfot-hoxes and vote, arid then exert
yourself to induce all others to follow your cx-
ample.
POSH ON THE COLUMN, Democrats! and
up nhd atthi sworn conspirators who dare at
tempt to deprive you of your liberties and your
rights. Let these minions of a inldhight order
see that the people of Cumberland county know
their rights, and have the courage to defend
them.- —■
PUSH ON THE COLUMN ! Our cause is
the cause of the people —the same causo our
forefathers fought for in 1776, and 1812, when
they had Amold’sand Bun-’stocontendagainst.
We have the same kind of treachery to contend
against now, and it become! every man who
loves his country, Us constitution and laws, to

PUSH ON THE COLUMN ! Bo ot the

your power to preserve order, but yet suller no
slave of a Know-Nothing lodge deter, yon from
the duty you owe to your country, and your
God.
PUSH ON THE COLUMN in behalf of civil
and religious liberty. Remember that Know-
Nothingism is already tottering to its fall ; its
own corruption, and the dishonesty of its un
principled leaders is bending it to the earth.—
Give the monster a death blow on TUESDAY,
and the route of the conspirators will be as per
fect as that of Lucifer and his forces, and, like
Lucifer, the party will “fall to rise no more.”
PUSH ON THE COLUMN ! and let the
voice of the ballot-box speak in trumpet tones
in condemnation’of the BORDER LEGISLA
TURE of last winter. And be it remembered
that that Legislature was composed of a large
majority of Know-Nothings, whose first act
was to double their own pay. and also to in
crease the pay of the Governor, Secretary of
State. Deputy Secretary*. & c.. Urns increasing
the taxes of the people 50.000 per annum !
PUSH ON THE COLUMN ! Let your

which for baseness cannot be excelled—they |

that tho ticket compares with that at the head
of this paper. That foul means will be resort-1

piece of impudent assurance lor f tbe Know-
Nothings to nominate a Carlisle min for this
office, when they .knew that the lotver end wee
fairly entitled to the next Sheriff. The pres
ent Sheriff (M’Darmond,) is an upper end man,
and his two immediate predecessors (James,
Hopper and' David Smith) were Carlisle men.
The lower end of , the, county has not furnished
aShbriff for the last kink .tears’. And now,
votertrof the lower end, you arb naked by the
Know-Nothings to yield your rights again.—
Will you do it ? Will you permit a few polit

your rights os citizens of our county 1 We
think we bear you respond in tones of indigna

lowing plain statements of the comparative

I visit this locality, which besides being the

tracted, os J entered the valley, near the boun- 1
, dary of vour Slate, traversed by silver streams 1
beautifully skirted by green foliage, with here
and there the tints of early autumn, but yet
more impressed as the broader valley of the
Susquehanna opened upon iis with fertile fields
on .either side, with tho picturesque gap of the
North Mountain, with tho Blue Mountain in
tho distance, presenting a sketch of almost un
rivalled boldness and beauty. I

I'can never touch the soil tyf Pennsylvania
without ''lnvoluntarily recurring,to the stirring
Incidents of her history, which instead of being
shaded or obscured by time, arc inevitably, as
years roll on,'to 1)0 brought oiit in .a stronger,
clearer, and more glorious 1 light;' Within her
borders tho Declaration *of Independence* was
drafted, signed, and,proclaimed todhoworld.—
To tho memorable convention tbf* tho United
Colonies, on tho 25th of Juno, 1770,5 ha declar- ,
ed, through her.delegates met In provincial con- {
forencoi,in favor of absolute jjyparatipn.lrom tho |
mother country. ..Within her,herders the Con- ,
stltutloii under which wd live was framed, adop- j
led, and signal' by tho “Father pf his country’’,
and those associates, whose patriotic labors, like i
his ‘own; will never bo fofcgotlen, though slgntu
I tores'may-fade- dhd parchments porislu Oh!
I now bountifully have tho* oncnlcUlatlng courage
nnd ■ personal sacrifices of the fathers beoh re
quited.to tho children by tho* countless Common
blessings which that Constitution hnS so lavish
ly conferred! Do not, my fellow-citizens,-con
,vert if to putposos not embraced in Its design!
Do not depart, from tho stirct construction of its
granted powers which has scoured such harrao
nious action, and a degree of progress, 'happi
ness and security, socially -and politically,,of
which tho history of nations fundshes no, ©sam
ple ( Do not for a moment indulge tho dcslro,
or harbor the thought, that you may oi\)dy. the
privileges which tho Constitution confers with,
out according to each and every ono of tho sis
ter States Of the confederation all tho rights and-
Immunities whichdt designed'to secure to them!
As honorable men you can not do It. 1 So long
as you aro content to llvo lindor tho compact,
maintain It sacredly in all Its parts, In'll# loiter
and in Us spirit. Withontn cheerful, practical,
obedience to all its obligations, tbo Keystone,
firmly as it seems tp bo set, may bo shaken and
tremble In its place.
Your past,, however, is tho best guaranty for
tho future. From tho days of William Ppnn,
eminently o peace loving and a peace cultivat
ing people, you have shrunk from noj-cspbnsl
bllity, and faltered before no danger which
threatened our common counlrv. This was sig
nally verified In tho struggle of tho Involution,
In tho war of 1812, and in that latthwar, when at
the first blast of tho summoning trumpet, your
sons hastened to their weapons, and funning
themselves in serried columns tendered more
regiments to tho Uepuhlic than the government
with a proper regard to patriotic enrollments In
oilier Slates could consistently accept. But
there is another class deserving, If possible, still
higher praise. I mean tho fathers of those gal
lant eons, the men who own and cultivate tho
land,—the unobtrusive Union loving, law-abld
ing, agricultural community represented horp
I to-day,—tlmt great, abounding interest compar-
I cd With which all others are bpl troctipns.
And now in conclusion, fellow-citizens, per
mit mo to say wherever fortune may direct your
footsteps. It will ho tho sourco ofjust pride, that
you hail from Pennsylvania, but individually
your highest pride and steadiest consciousness
of security, at home °r abroad, will rest iii'tho
fact that you are an American clfizph. , ‘
