Democrats of Cumberland, the lime for ar

SPEAKERS FOR SATURDAY
A number of eloquent speakers will bo in at

this place on Saturday. John Van Buron,lion.
Richard Brodhead, C. W. Carrigan, George tV.
Brower, Esq., Daniel Dougherty, Esq., and oth

to prevent them. Wo hope, too, that James B.
Clay, (son of Henry Clay) will also bo with us.
$l6 A DAY !
A farmer or mechanic, who, by hard labor,
earns $1 50 or B‘J a day. thinks he is doing a
good business. But Lemuel Todd thinks SR
a day 100 little for a member of Congress to re
ceive. After having contracted with hts con
stituents to serve them at the rate of 88 a day.
he charged and pocketed 816 a day! Think
of that, farmers, mechanics and workingmen !
The Black Republican journals in this disliict,
are attempting to excuse Mr Toon for having
received this amount, but we dare them to de
ny what wc have asserted and now assert
again—viz—Mr 1 mm did charge, receive, and
pocket. 816 a day fur every day of the session
of Congress Any one who doubts this can
satisfy hmisell by a reference to the House
journals.
Who Has It I—By reference to our adver
tising columns, it will be seen that our old
fnend. U. \V Pktrksdn, Esq., now of Canada
West, oilers a reward for a German book,
which was lost in this county in the year 1815,
ilo is very anxious to
will feet under many obligations to any one
who will return U to him, through the editor
of this paper.
Buchanan Club No. 1 ok Carlisle.—The
members of the Club turned out nearly to a
man on Saturday evening, at Burkholders,
where they were most eloquently addressed by
Mr. Joseph Bucher, a young Democrat of great
promise. Win. J. Rose, Esq., followed in a
speech of great power, in which ho contrasted
the principles of the three candidates before the
people. The Club is doing good and efficient
service.
Nbwvillk. The meeting of the friends of
Buck and Brvck at Ncwvillo, on Friday, was
very large and enthusiastic. Addresses were
made by Judge Hepburn, and T. M, Biddle,
Esq., and the best of feeling prevailed.
ILami’PßN. —One of the largest Democratic
meetings over held in this township convened
at Sporting Hill on Saturday. Judge Hepburn
addressed tbo people In a most able manner.
Pole lUibi.no.—A Democratic polo was
raised and o meeting was held at Ilickorytown
on Friday 1 \st. A. N. Green and Jacob U.
WcndcsllcU Esqrs-, delivered able and patriot'
fc addrc&fti.
DEMOCRATS MASS MEETING.
We trust no Democrat will neglect to attend
the Mass Mealing, to be held in Carlisle, on
Satmrday next, the lllh instant. Every man
who has the welfare of the party at heart, and
who is ansious 16 contribute to the triumph of
our principles aad our nominees, should be in
attendance. The enemies of Democracy are
using every effort to achieve a victory, and to
effect this, nothing which their Ingenuity or
malice can devise will be left undone. The
county is now inundated with lying pamphlets
and the foulest misrepresentations against our
cause and our candidates. Now, then, is the
time to arouse ourselves to action, We have
but a few days yet to work before the drat bat
tle takes place, and therefore we must bo up
and doing. On Tuesday next, we must achieve
a victory, and vindicate the great principles of
the lime-honored Democratic Party. The first
blow is always half the battle ; and if we tri
umph on Tuesday next, our victory in Novem
ber will be an easy aad decisive one. The ene
my sn ill be crest-fallen and disheartened, and
will bo unable to rally their forces for another
conflict, and our success will be certain and
complete. To gain a victory in October, how
ever, it is absolutely necessary that we should
bo thoroughly organized: every borough,
township and ward in the county should be
canvassed, and every Democratic vote brought
to the polls. l.ct us all. then, meet in council
on Saturday next, to interchange views, and
devise means lor the more efficiently carrying
on the campaign. Several eloquent speakers
from o distance will be he?o. whore exertions
in behalf of the Democracy elsewhere have al
ready had a very beneficial effect.
Coiuc, then, from your workshops and your
farms : come from your anvils and your looms,
from your stores and from your professional
engagements, and give Saturday next to your
country. A strong turn out is desirable, ns it
will strike terror to the hearts of the Disunion
ists and jAbolilionsls. Come from the moun
tains and the > allies, and show the enemy that
the spirit of Democracy is fully aroused. If
our friends will only make a sliongdemonstra
tion on Saturday next, all will be well !
TDE GREAT FBEMOST FIZZLE !
For the Inst two or three weeks the Frc
monters of this county have been making ac
tive preparations for holding what they called,
“a grand Union Moss Meeting." Tuesday
was the day fixed upon for the assembling of
the hosts, and all expected to sec at least a re
spectable demonstration. The day arrived,
and a beautiful day it was, but the people
didn’t come—the meeting was a most complete
failure. Several counted the men in proces
sion, and 134 was tho number, including mu
sicians ! It was, indeed, a most complete and
humiliating failure and fizzle. .Mr. Bublinu
ame, the same gentleman to go
three thpusapd miles to fightaduel, and who,
declnrcd lbat "an
an anll-eiavcry bi
ble, and God,” was the princi
palBpcakepion:fthe occasion. His speech was
a rank abolition lecture, and produced no effect
on those who heard it. One thing was observ
able in thq procession—all the banners contain
.edthe name of the cattle-dealer— Fillmore’s
name was not to be seen. A beautiful muon
mccling. indeed. AClor Mr. Burlingame had
concluded, n half-dozen tights look plan- be
tween the Fremonlers and Fillmonles. They I
thrashed each other soundly, and the little'
meeting then adjourmd Such nas the Frc-I
rnont fizzle. |
JIIEAX IFif TO OBTAIN VOTES.
/ IVoJearn from good authority, (hut Dr- IV. j
IV. Nkvi.v. who is on the Fremont ticket for
Assembly in this county, is attempting to se
duce Democrats into his support, by represen
ting himself a Democrat. We suppose the doc
tor has been receiving lessons on trickery from
that adroit political trimmer, Mr. Todd, and
expects to foist himself into office by practi
cing the same fraud his instructor practiced
But, you can’t coma it quite, doctor. The
people know that you falsify when you repre
sent yourself a Democrat, and all honorable
men will despise you for attempting this kind
of trickery. Dr. Nrvin, as most of our rea
ders arc aware, is an uncompromising Fremont
Abolitionist, and is about as much ofa Demo
crat as is Horace Qrcely or Thaddeus Stevens.
No Dcmocrntc can vote for him. On the con
trary, all should, and we trust will, administer
to him a pill that will work him fur the next
twelve months.
“ SHAM DEMOCRACY.”
Lem Todd, the Fremont candidate for Con
gress in this District, made a characteristic
speech in this place on Tuesday evening, in
winch he spoke of Mr. Buchanan as “Ten-
Cent Jimmy," and those who support him fur
the Presidency as the “Sham Democracy."—
Will any Buchan an man so far forget himself
as to vote for Todd for Congress, after Ins
coarse denunciation of all Buchanan's friends?
Wc hope and believe not.
Democrats, Examine your Tickets.
Every Democrat should examine his ticket
well before depositing it. Wenro informed that
all kinds of spurious tickets will bu put in circu
lation on the day ot (ho election with u view to
deceive Democrals. The Democratic Associate
Judges uro to dropl and those of the Know.
Nothing party inserted. Wo hope our friends
will be on the look out.
The Slate Election.
The Importance of carrying the State election
on TUESDAY NEXT, th. Uth Instant, can
scarcely be over climated. A victory for the
Stale ticket would settle the Presidential ques
tion beyond cavil, and the Democracy would
only have to walk over tho coureo In November
for form’s sake. Let, therefore, tho old lion
hearted Democracy, with tho thousand* of pa
triotic recruit*, who have recently enrolled
themselves in tho rank*, arm ot once and In
oarncßl for tho Stale contest, and vow upon tho
altar of their country that they will conquer the
auducloua foe whose efforts are directed against
Liberty and tho Union. Let no man, who de
sires tho elevation of Buchanan to (lie Presi
dency—who value tho Constitution and the
Union, and bolloves (hem to bo in danger, cast
his vote against (he Democratic State Ticket j
tor although It might not prove fatal, tho expe
riment would bo dangerous, and should not bo
tried. Brother Democrats, In all parts of (ho
Stale, rally your force* for TUESDAY NEXT,
(he Hth instant.
ITT" Applause is the spur of able minds, the
end and ami of weak ones.
FBEHOST’S PROSPECTS,
Frbuont’B chances of an election.to tho
Presidency are "growing small by degrees and
beautifully lessi" Of tho fifteen Southern
States, bis most sanguine friends have not tfie
hardihood to claim a single one; and in the cx
treme North, which was confidently relied upon
to go for him In solid phalanx, Filluorb is
gradually and steadily gaining upon him. In
New York State, that portion of the Know-
Nothing faction ityling themselves North A
tnericons, and who have heretofore been consid
ered friendly lo Fremont, have held n conven
tion and repudiated him. In the same Slate, a
large bod} T of European Germans, who have
acted with the Black Republicans, have desert
ed their standard, and, singular and unnatural
as the alliance may seem, have arrayed them
selves in the ranks of their furious oppressors,
the Know-Nothings. These “awapsand chan
ges” will secure for the Democratic nominees
the great Stale of New York by a decisive ma
jority. In Connecticut, New Hampshire and
Rhode Island, our Democratic brethren are ac
tive and unremitting in their cxerlions, and arc
confident of success. New Jersiy ia certain
for Mr, Buchanan beyond a why or a where
fore ; and in Pennsylvania, in November next,
we will do for Fremont what Col. Benton re
fused lo do—we will “gtre him Jesscc."
Where, then, is the disunion candidate to
obtain his support ? His friends readily ad
mit that the Democrats will carry the entire
South, and besides the Stales we have named,
we claim Indiana, Illinois, Wisconsin, and Cal
ifornia, uilh a fair prospect of carrying Ohio
and Michigan. The truth is, the nomination
of Fremont was a most stupid blunder, and
was effected, not by shrewd and far-seeing
Statesmen, but by fanatical fnclionists, whose
pnrtiznn zeal outrun their discretion, and whose
proper sphere was not in the arena of politics,
but in the field of theological controversy and
in the advocacy of Woman’s rights, the Maine
prohibitory law, the Bloomer costume, free
love, and kindred humbugs. There they
would have btvn at home, but when they grap
pled with subjects and broached questions
which they could neither appreciate nor under
stand, they soon got beyond their depth and
lost their balance. In nominating Fremont,
they failed lo secure an “available candidate
but, in the language of Mr. Cobb, they obtain
ed a “military chieftain without n banner and
a statesman without a record.” Their furious
zeal in advocating the abolition of negro slavery
has made them partially insane, thus verifying
the aptness of the quotation as applied to them
—“Whom the gods intend to destroy they first
make road.”
KEEP IT BEFORE THE PEOPLE.

the most cherished rights of the people of their

Keep ti hefote Ike people, that the Democrat

of Jefferson, Madison and Jackson, upholding
the equality of all the citizens under the law,
whether rich or poor, proud or humble, what
ever their religion or wherever born.
Keep i( before the people, that the Democrat
ic party is the only honbst party in the coun
try—that it displays its principles and fights
its battles in the open day, and in the full blaze
of the sun —that it scorns deception and abhors
trickery ; but conscious of the immutable jus
tice of its cause, and rely with a Christian faith
upon the inlilligenco of the American mind
and the patriotism of the American heart, it
looks for its vindication at the source of all po
litical power—the free and unpurchasablc vo
ters of the Republic.
Keep 1 1 before ike people, that the Democrat
ic party is the champion of the working and
producing classes of the country, that it has al
ways Interposed between them and the bloated
monopolies, winch by the power of associated
capital, would crush them lo the dust—that it
accrues and repudiates all the social distinctions
bast'd upon wealth, by which the rich upstart
would attempt to lord it over his poorer yet
more respectable fellow citizen, and create a
mimic, mushroom ans'ocracy in this country,
more inexorable and exacting than the heredit
ary nobility of Europe.
Ktep t( be ore ihc people, that the Democratic
party in the only parly in the country winch
stands up for the rights ofthc poor and laboring
tvhiie man—that whatever the disabilities of the
citizen have born removed wherever the right of
suffrage has been enlarged, either by Constitu
tional rclorm, or by Legislative cnacmcnt, so
as lo place the poor man upon a level with the
rich man in determining the laws under which
ho should live and prosper, the work was ac
complished by Democratic effort and by Demo
cratic voles. It was so in Rhode Island—it
was so in Virginia— it was so In Pennsylvania
—it was so in the District ol Columbia—and it
has been so, wo assert it proudly, fearlessly and
truthfully in almost every State In this broad
Union.

A Prcmdlit Organ on !)Ir. Fillmore.

really opposed to an affiliation with the Fun

Fanaticism anil Treason.
The sectional feeling which now prevails to
so great an extent in onr country, and the trea
sonable sentiments which ar« boldly proclaimed
by the advocates of disunion, ought surely to
arouse the patriotic masses of America to a
sense of the danger which menace the country.
The fell spirit of disunion is abroad, and mis
guided fanatics arc constantly engaged in sow
ing. broad-cast, the seeds of civil discord ami
dissolution. Partisan newspapers, and stump
speakers, boldlv advocate the Dissolution of
the Union, and their treasonable sentiments
and fanatical harangues arc endorsed and ap
plauded by a large class of the community.
And yet we are told there is no danger to the
U.iim ! We say there is great danger-ami
unless this foul spirit of disunion is soon '‘crush
ed out,” tho glorious Temple erected by our
fathers, which has already been shaken to its
very centre, nlll totter to its final fall! But
we allude to this subject at present merely for
tho purpose of introducing to our readers the
following treasonable epislle from one Wm, C
Duvall, a politician of some note, and one of
the most zealous “shrickers for Freedom” in
New Yurk Stale. The letter was written in
answer to a call to be present at a political mee
ting. and shows conclusively what are the real
sentiments of the class of politicians with whom
Mr. Duvall acts. Bead:—
“I shall do all in my power to bring the pen.

Cumberland Count? Fair.
This Fair will commence on Wcdrfcadny, fb©
15th of October, end continue on Thursdnyand
Friday. Tbo’Falr grounds and buildings have
begun to assume a very creditable appearance
and proportions. Tbo great additional conve
niences and accommodations a/Tordcd by the
now structures and Improvements made tills
Summer, will gratify both exhibitors and visi
tors. The Society last fall could hazard in. Its
first fxpcrimenl nothing beyond Hie require'
nienfs of absolute necessity. But encouraged
by (heir flattering success and profiling by ex
perience, they have made extensive additions
to ilielr buildings, which will now give the most
ample accommodation and entire security to
every tiling that may be entered for competition
or display. They hivo erected this season a
large permanent frame building, 146 feet long
nml 24 leet wide, covered with a good shingle
roof, plainly but substantially built upon a stone
foundation. This building is completely closed,
lighted with sash windows and with large doors
at both ends lor ingress and egress of visltois.
It is intended f, r the exhibition of articles of
needle and fancy work, pictures, furniture, fee.,
and all other articles which require to be 1 re
served from exposuru to tboneulber. For tl is
purpose, it has wide counters extending around
both sides, platforms through the centre and
other neceus try appliances. At its Kusteru end
is a two story building, 21 feet square, the up
per story of which is intended lor the Judges
and Committees* room. Beyond this are the
three substantial sheds, 1 .*»<) feet long, which
will contain vegetables, seeds, &c., and such
oilier uniters ns will mil suffer hom exposure.
The number of stalls for horses aud entile, nml
pens fur sheep ami swine, have also been largely
increased. ;i• ■> 1 with Hu; ring for the display ot
horses, will give every desn.ible facility for
exhibition. The grounds are finely situated,
within a tew minutes* walk of town, contain over
six acres, and arc entin ly enclosed hy a high
ho ml fence. The whole buildings and fences
inside andaoiit have hoen w ell u hitewashed, I
w 11it*11 adds a jileasing neatness and freshness to I
eu'inbiog about. The entire arrangements
are plain, neat, substantial and usellll, as every
tiling connceled with Agriculture should be,
and the cim-i ,n i/e and liberality o( t lie Society
lu\e been well seconded by ih ■ taie and sound
judgment of tlioir (jmimiittee having (barge o(
flit* improvements. It may tic added, that the
increased number of Committees appoiilcd.
and the sub-divisions of the clash's of "bj> els
to tn.’ examined, will add much to lb.- satisfac
tion of ext ibitois Ibis fall. The 'iicce sof onr
first Fair was u sure angiity ol'llic deep iiitciest
taken by (be public in the ol jecls and piospei Is
ol the Society ; and raises a contidi nl hope that
the result this year both in disp’nj and uiten
d.mcc, will ho worthy of the ancient fame of
