Monet Lost.—On Saturday last, a small cut
ion bug, containing some filly dullnrs in gold,
was lost on the road loading from Springfield to
Carlisle. Any person finding the same will bo
suitably rewarded by leaving it with the editor
of this paper.
Read Them—Read Them
eloquent ami convincing speeches of Gen. Cass
and Judge DoL.St.A3, delivered at the Grand
Ratification meeting recently held in Philadel
s®jphia, anWvhich we publish on our first page.
No true friend of the I'uion, after reading these
patriotic appeals, can refuse to support the
Democratic nominees for President oud Vice
President.
The Heat.—The weather has been intense
ly hot for several days. Un Saturday and
Sunday the thermometer ranged from OU° to
95°, according to position.
{£7* The wheat crop in this section of coun
try promises to be unusually large, and there
is little danger to be apprehended from rust or
any other cause to blight the prospects.—
Other grain, however, will not produce more
than half a crop. Corn is very backward, and
osr fanners hare no hopes of an average yield.
No peaches. An abundance of apples Is ex
pected. Few cherries and grapes.
ITat Making. —Our fanners arc now io the
midst of the hay harvest. and from nil we can
learn from our country friends the crops of ev
ery description of grass will be immense, being
nearly double the yield of last year. The clo
ver, in particular, is very heavy, and looks
most beautiful. Oats, also, promises nn
abundant yield, and of a superior quality. In
fact, the crops of all kinds look well in this
section of country, and should nothing occur
to injure them, will amply repay the husband
man for Ida time, labor4tnd expense.
Old Wrstmorelakd.—■'Wc arc pleased to 1
see that the Democrats of Westmoreland coun
ty have re-nominated for Assembly, Messrs.
Hbnrt D. Foster, Samuel Hill, and Jons
Fausald. These gentlemen discharged their
duty most faithfully as members of the last
Legislature, and no delegation commanded
greater respect than the representatives from
old Westmoreland. They are all gentlemen of
commandingintclllgenccjond firm and unflinch
ing Democrats. We are no loss gratified to
notice that our friend and former townsman,
J. Morrison Ukdeuwooo, Esq , hns rccicvcd
the nomination for Distiict Attorney. lie is a
young man of bright promise, and as true a
Democrat os can be found in the State. With
such a ticket before them, the democracy of
the ** Star of the West ” will sweep the coun
ty by an old-fashioned majority.
Tub Public School Examinations.— The
annual examinations of the public schools of
the borough of Cnrlihle commenced on Friday
morning last, June 20, with the schools of the
Primary Department under Iho charge of Miss
Righter, Miss Beetem and Miss Edmond ; and

ThocxaqlinftiioDS, as far as they have pro

ors, Teachers and Pupils. Next week we shall
have a few words ttforo to say in relation to (ho
exercises, and pron&ly will bo enabled to lay

School visitors.
VIOLATION OF THE OATH. V
The members of tho Know-Nothing National
Convention in session in Now
York last weekJ.qs-.soon as they osccVlaincd
that the Abolitionists had nominated, Preuont
“ for President, also adopted him ns ‘tliiir candi
date, and Mr. Banks, whqlitid been nominated
by them a few days previous, was dropped ;
from their ticket. They stUUhold on to Ex- I
-Gov. Johnson as their candidate Pres
ident, however. ' ’
This action of the North Americans fdrniWba 1
another proof of the dishonesty of that most
contemptible faction, the Know-Nothings. It
is well known that opposition to Catholics and
the Ca'holic religion, waS the principal article
of faith in the Know-Nothing creed. This
was in tho palmy day's of Know-Nothingism,
, land when the principles of that God defying
faction flourished like a noxious weed. Every
man of them were sworn enemies to the Catho
lic religion—every one, before being initiated,
had to take an oath on the Bible that in no
event would he vote for a Catholic for office I
All took Ibis oath—hypocritical and canting
preachers, Infidels, Universallsts, scoffers
religion —nil took this, the test oath. And i
now, a few months subsequent, we see a large J
number of these very sworn men —these tics- |
pcralepolilicakgamblcrs —going over, body and j
breeches, to the support of John C. Pukmont, j
who is a Catholic, for President of tjjo Uni- j
led StalesHo is the first Catholic who
was ever n candidate for this office, and his
principal supporters arc lho«e who swore on
the Bible, and called God to witness the oath, '
that they would never support a Callwlic for
any position whatever !
Col. Fit i; no nt has been a Catholic from the
cradle. When but five years of ago- he was
taken charge of by tlic Catholic Sisters of
Charily of the city of Charleston, South Car
olina. Under their cure and patronage he was
reared and educated in a Catholic Institution.

taken in the Know Nothing Lodge. ’* - -Some one
in the crowd said “God help them.” He then
said, “Do you thing a just God would help per-
jurors V % We notice that a number of the
Know-Nothing papers are very much in
censed because*Judge Douglas used Uns
strong language, but, strong as it is, it is noth

king an oath on the holy Bible not to vole for a
Catholic for office, and after taking (his oath
supporting & Catholic for President of the Uul« \
[led States, is not a violation of Iho oath and
\ perjury, pray what is perjury? Perhaps some
lof the Ministers of the Gospel who belong to
1 the Know-Nothing faction, and who assisted
and urged their fellow men to forfeit their

Important From EußorK.— The steamers
Ericsson and Arabia reached New York last
Friday evening, bringing dates from Liverpool
to the 31st. Lord Clarendon had made a pa
cific speech upon the subject of the difficulties
between Great Britian and Iho I’nitcd Slates,
staling that he was quite willing to meet Mr.

of America, to protect German emigrants.
The Royal Geographical Society of Loudon
have awarded a gold medal to Elisha K. Kane.
Denmark, in anticipation of difilcultcs with the
United Stales, is pulling her fleet in effective
order. Sebastopol is to bo rebuilt.
The English papers are filled with pence re
joicings, but much anxiety is felt in regard to
the American difficulties. The recognition of
Walker's Nicaraguan government had caused
much excitement. U is rumored that Lord
Klgin \m!l bo sent as Plenipotentiary to Wash-
ington, as the only chance of averting war.
The London Times thinks the dispute has

LIGHT THE COP .FIRES 1 '
It Must be gratifying to thefr'ends of J.AiiRS
Bucuaka.v—gratifying lb Pennsylvanians—to
observe such a unanimous voice in Ills favor, by
the people of'his native Slate. Ifyfrjg Ibis feel-,

united so unanimous a sentiment in its behalf
as does the name’of -Cuctian’an. -The
whole Union acknowledges his sound Demo
cratic principles aud superior talents, and all,
admit that-hc is the man for the present crisis. I
Such being the feeling in all sections of ll)0
country, it 14 no difficult matter to predict the
result of the November election.
But, vet, fellow-Dcinocrals, let us not be too
sanguine, or we may be led into apathy and in
difference. Let all he up and doing, arid,
ready to investigate and explain the issues that
are to be decided by the present contest. Wo
have little doubt but Ijmt n union of lhsßlaclc
Republicans, Frce-Soilcrs and Know-Nothings
will yet be efiected. To defeat and put to flight
this combination of factions will require activi
ty and zeal on the part of the Democrats. It
is therefore the duly of our friends to proceed
in the work of preparation, ns if their foes
were now in the field, presenting a solid
and united front. In the language of the
York Democratic Press, let and the
{ rostrum be manned with vigilant sentinels—
I with faithful editors and efficient orators. Let
J Committees beat their post doing their duty
iin the fields of their usefulness. Let the young
1 men and the old .men be aroused to the ncccssi
i ly of active participation in our political affairs,
and in the importance of securing the triumph
of great national measures, which alone will
save our country from the horrors of civil strife
and dis union. Let the Democratic Camp Fires
be lighted in every section of our great country
—from the pine forests of Maine to the orange,
groves of Florida—from the Atlantic to the Pa- t
cilio—ami let the great national brotherhood ;

a dangerous one. “Wo have frequently to |

climb up hills : fast; cat unwholesome food ; j
make moonlight journeys; sleep on planks and
travel through drenching ranis, under a broil

eels to skinning, we’re got used to them and
rather like ftiem than otherwise. But, in spile
of its hardships, the life of a professional jour
nalist in Kansas has charms winch endear it to
him. Nothing but a sense of duty, ! think, to

don it and return to the dull monotony, hy
pocricies, and comforts of metropolitan society.

Tho Blackv Republican Convention,' in ses
sion at Philadelphia, last week, nominated Col.
Jorm'Ch Fiirmont as their candidate lor ,thc ;
Presidency, and IViLMA&fX. Datton of
Now Jersey, for the Vico Presidency. Those
nominations appear to create no enthusiasm
crch \trlh the Abolitionists. Ths idea of noni-,
mating such an adventurer os' Fremont for the
Presidency, is simply absurd and ridiculous,
and is another evidence of the weakness and
foilv of the men who declare themselves in fa
vorof ••letting the Union slide.” Toshowour
readers how lire nomination of this “new man”
is received) and also to give them some idea
I of his life and character, we publish the follow
ing extracts from, papers entertaining .different
political sentiments. .The Baltimore Ameri •
can, a high-toned, and ably conducted paper,
neutral, or old line whig, thus speaks of it:
. Rkpitbucan Nomination.—Be is emphati
cally a new man, hut whether that will recom
mend him or not is a question yet to be decid
ed. Of political history he has scarcely tiny,
his only connection with the politics of Inc
country having been ns Senator-for the short
term from California, immediately after the nil
mission of that Slate to the Union. Ho then
acted with live Democratic party. Personally
he is regarded as a gentleman of fair abilities/,
hut more distinguished by habits of physical
endurance and rugged determination than for
the* high mental cultivation and extended
knowledge of the statesman. lie is A good
campaigner and a successful explorer, hut
hardly qualified, we should think, either by
i experience ornttninment, for the .post to which'
the preference of a sectional party have nomi
nated him. The nomination is evidently one
of expediency, in which the old standard hear
ers of abolitionism haw been cast aside in or
der to unite upon one who without antecedents
to answer for might occupy the uncertain po
sition which will attract to him the largest a
tnount of sgpport at the No?-th. Virtually the
nomination is a confession of weakness, so far
as the supposed principles of the party tire con
cerned. Singularly enough, the New York
Herald, uhlil lately the most hitter opponent
of Republicanism, was the earliest, and has
been Inc most earnest advocate of - the nomina
tion of Fremont. *
The Philadelphia Evening Journal, neutral
in politics, expresses the generalopinionin that
city, outside of the Convention, ns follows :
The Reporlioan Nosonations.—A few
•boors ago the action of the Republican Conven
tion,* nssemblctUh this city, was looked to by
■hundreds of thousands of people throughout
IhcNonh, with intense interest; .The princi
ple purpose for which the body was convened
has now been accomplished, and wllatcvcr may
belheincclclsewhere.it is (jnitc’ccrfnin Ihat
tho nomination of John O..Jfrcmont for the
Presidency, has occasioned iirflns community
a eery general feeling of. disappointment.—
Save in the t’onrentiort itself, ami a small out
circle of his personal nnd political friends,
of-cnlhiisiasm V.'l'h which
the announcement of ; lhc candidate fs received,
is in this locality anything but encouraging.
The on tike required and dcfjprvcd a very dif
ferent champion and leader in the contest that
is coming, and our conviction is/Upii it has
sullered greatly, if not fatally, in the'’cpUmalion
nnd sympathies of very many earnest friends,
hv the injudicious choice ninth has been made.
We speak of course, only with reference to the
impression it lias produced lure. That, how
ever. is not only unmistakable,but it Is pretty
significant of what will be Ihc prevalent senti
ment of Pennsylvania. * For tljc sake of the
great principles and interests which were at
slake, there arc many who will deeply regret a
result which, in "their judgment, has imperilled,
if not doomedUo dlsasterons defeat, a cause
whose prospects Were before so bright art^an
imating. . - l ' , ■
The Yoflir.Sjwi.i nentj'hl, but lately In
clined to favor ItiD.so-callcd Republican parly,
thus speaks of the unexperienced young gentle
man who has been put in nomination :
“In some respects', the nomination is an
"available” one," but wo by no menus think it
is iho strongest which Ibo Republicans could
make. Col. Frunont has eurmd fame us the
daring explorer of the passes of the Rocky
Mountains, nnd at* participator with Cunmio
dole Stockton and others in tho conquests of
California. '
He pus among tho first discoverers of gold
in California, and evinced his sagacity by pur
chasing tho title to a rich mining district.—
Perhaps to this, more than to his successful
exploration of the South Pass to the Pacific,
may we ascribe I.is prcstnlluglc tn the political
world. Were he as poor ftnd'pcnnilr.sH non* ns
when he first rctunuu from California, his
name might not have been hcaid of as a Presi
dential candidate.”
The New York Evening Express, a Fill-
more organ,says
Between now ami clad ion day—if lie ac
cepts, he has certainly n hauler road lo travel
than any he has yet trodden. lie is in the
hands of political panl hers, and jarkulls. mid
grizzly bears, that—before they have dune
with him—M ill use him worse than the quad
rupedal monsters lie used lo encounter upon
the Sierra Nevada. The Colotrcl claims to be
the first man lo have discovered Suit Lake
We do not like to discourage him, hut ho may
os well make up his mind to another discov
ery—the discovery of Salt River. The explor
er, if not the discoverer of # Ulah, ho is now dis
covered among sectional free-lovera and Aboli
tion Mormons, ns politically loose, ns Joe
Smith's disciples ore morally delinquent. Col.
Fremont hns led a life that, in many respects,
has been one of considerable usefulness lo his
common country', and it is for that reason that
wo arc sorry to see him make his bed among a
class of politicians who, in point of fact, (all'
their plausibilities and sophistries to the con
trary. notwithstanding.) propose lo have him
hereafter servo but half a country—and give
him but half a country for his admirer.
Tho New York Commercial Advertiser, to n
opposition paper, says:
“The ‘bright, enterprising young man 1 has
been reworded for ‘handsomely exploring the
Rocky Mountains’ by a nomination for the
Presidency. Of course no one expects that lie
will bo elected in this ‘Year of our Lord,’ to
that ofilcc. Tho people of the United Slates,
or any considcrablp portion of them, arc not
.likely to pass by r men of years, and experience,
and wisdom—recognized statesmen and lend
ers—and place a young man, without anteced
ents ns legislator or statesman, in tho high of
fice of Chief Magistrate. We do not believe
the Ilcpublicnn candidates have any anticipa
tion that Col. Fremont will bo Iho next Presi
dent of this Republic. , lie will serve, what
alono could bo expected from their candidate,
to keep the‘conglomerate 111068’(thus one of
their own speeders designated the ’party) to
gether through Iho campaign, and that is the
object for which lie is nominated. Wo will not
do the Convention tho injustice to suppose that
If they really believed their nominee would bo
successful. they would have passed by so many
Kf-niorand more eligible citizens, and put for
ward so young a man, and ouo so entirely
without antecedents. J

fog an oration allegcd tb have been deli vered by
Mr. Buchanan pn the Fourth of July, 1815,
and ho is falsely accused of having opposed
the vigorous prosecution of the war of 1812.
In 1847, after ho was appointed Secretary of
Slate by Mr. Polk,, a similar charge was mad®
against him in Tennessee, of which he was in
formed by Hon. George W. Jonhs, a leading
member of the present Congress from that
State. Mr. Buchanan replied by the follow
ing Idler, \yblch so clearly cpvcrs the whole
ground, that all necessity for further comment
is precluded:
WASHtNftTON, April 23,1847.
My Beau >SmT have this moment received
your letler-of the 45th inst*, and’hasten txf re
turn an answer.'
In one respect T have Been fortunate ns a
public mnhl ' My political encodes nre obliged
to go back for more than thirty years to find
plausible charges against me.
In 1814, when a very young roan, (being
this day 5G year/? of age,) I made, my first
public speech before a meeting of my fellow
citizens of Lancaster. The object of this
speech was to urge upon them thuduty of vol
unteering lliclr services in defence of Uieir inva
ded country. A volunteer company wna raised
upon the spot, in which I was the first, I be
lieve. to enter my name ns a private. We
forthwith proceeded to Baltimore, nud served
until we were honorably discharged.
In October, 1814. T was elected a member
of the Pennsylvania Legislature; and .in that
body gave my support to every .measure cab
culated, in my opinion, to aid- the country
ngftinst Ihe common enemy.
In 1815, after pe'ACj? had been concluded, I
did express opinions In roiuiiCn to the “causes
and conduct of the war. which I very ftOOD'ftf*
to- regretted and recalled. Since that penod
I have been ten.years a member of the House
of Representatives, ami an. cqunlfjhne of the
Senate, acting a part.on every grcAtTqursiinn*
My political enemies, finding nothing assaila
ble throughout this long public career, now
resort back to my youthful Years lor exprea
stoTis to* injure my political character. The
brave and generous citizens of. Tennessee, to
whatever parly they.'may belong, will agree
(bat this is a hard measure of justice, and It is
still harder that, for this reason they should
condemn the President for luivhig voluntarily
offered me a scat in his Cabinet. •-- ,
I never deemed it proper,.,at any period of
m3' life, whilst the country‘was actually ten
gaged in war with oTorcjgftcmdftf; toyltcV-'n
sentiment which could interfere; with its Suc
cessful proscdulioiK' .Whjlst tlio war with
great Briliap whs raging, t should have deemed
it little better than moral.treason to paralyze
the arm of the government whilst dealing
blows ngninst the enemy. After peace was
concluded, the case was then different. My
enemies cannot point to an expression' uttered
by me during the continuance of, the war,'
which was not favorable to its vigorous prose
cution.

••The convention made n higfity judicious
choice In (ho selection of the giftcd'nnd elo

parties that ihu tnaiulo of Henry Clay could
tint have fallen upon one who was belter cn
tilled to wear »l. He is a ftno speaker, able
statesman, nnd sound orthodox democrat, niiel
will make an excellent presiding officer of the
United-Stales Senate. As Mr. Buchanan Is
advanced in years, it Is well that tho conven
tion took tho prccautkn of placing second
upon tho ticket a youthful nnd Jvlgorors
man for Vice President, so that, in ease of a
dispensation of Providence, such, ns lias oc
curred before, the office would full into good
hands. b
, “With the names of Buchanan ond Breckin
ridge, nnd with such a platform as has been
nloptcd by the convention, the Democracy will
carry Kentucky, tho only doubtful’southern
Sluto, like a tornado. Tho ticket is atrrtng
and ablo in all its parte, nnd will command and
receive general confidence hnd rcpncct. Mr.
Breckinridge is n warm friend d/ President

IcclWn will ho peculiarly gratifying to those
