Extract of a letter to the editor, dated York. Oct. 4,1858, Should the day of the election be clear, bur majority will''reach 1800 ! The nomination' of Mr. Fisher-is hailed with-joy by our people, and his majority will astonish all native Repub licans. Tote Hie Whole. Ticket. We trust that our Democratic bi ethren-. will not be seduced into the support of any of-, the .Opposition candidates, by listeningto tlie-mis-, representations • which will be sown by them broadcast country. Every effort will be made to d&fcat our party this fall, and every means will bmresorted to in order to accom plish this end. Remember, how ihuhfhlly the •Democratic party has ever stood-by-the Jntctj esls of the people ; andj with-thia-knowledge in view, Freemen of Cumberland, vote in favor of Democratic men and Democratic measures ! Democrats I Remember, that one vote may decide tliefhto of your party in a county* Hundreds of exam ples might be given, to prove the effect of one solitary voter remaining away from the polls ou the day of election. Well wishes amount lo nothing. Bo not indulge ta the fatal delusion that our ticket is safe enough without your vete. Put your own vote in the ballot-box, and see that your Democratic neighbor does the same. Watch—work—he vigilant—and the victory will be ours \ FEBET AtiL RIGHT From the last Perry County Democrat we 1 take tlio following- extract: I •* We have information from various sections 1 ofthecounty, and the indications-are decidedly] more favorable for the success of the entire tick et than they have been at any time heretojbre during the campaign. So long as the nomina tion for a candidate for Congress was pending, considerable dissatisfaction and discontent were ’ manifested in the cointy ; but now since the ticket is full, there appears to be a general de termination to go to work, to elect it,, thereby preventing, a'Black Republican victory. “ The ‘sober second thought’ has brought everything right in place. All the offers of the Opposition, though they at first may have tempted some, have been, declined, and scarcely a Democrat is now-to-be found - ’ who is unwilling to lend his aid to elect the whole ticket. There is, no music in the exultant shouts of a triumphant opposition to a Demo crat’ascar. They can have no victory to boast over unlfcss it is given their piebald party By Democrats failing to support the nominations. We have no-bargains to make with Black Re publicans, but will stand by pur own party or ganization and its principles, and if they will not carry us on to a glorious victory, then let us fall." DEMOCRATIC ■COUNTY TICKET. That the Democratic County ticket for this county will.be triumphantly elected, is conco ded by the ‘•'knowing oncs”nf both parties. A better or move popular ticket has seldom bees presented to the people of Cumberland county. HENRY L. FISHER, the candidate for .Con gress, is a resident of York, and a man of the highest order of' intellect—possessed of no ordinary degree of cultivation—well informed upon all subjects which relate to the political and social welfare of mankind—a learned law yer and n most eloquent speaker. Ho is thor: oughly booked up in all the information relative to the people, the resources and the wants, of his district, necessary to enable:him to act for it intelligently, and to prcss»ii its claims -with effect. Ilis educational acquirements, and his powers of eloquence ns an orator, as well ns his suavity of address, and manly independence of character, render him peculiarly fitted for a scat in the councils of the nation. As a politician, Mr. Fisher occupies the proud position of having been all his life a warm consistent and powerful advocate of the.great doctrines of the Democratic parly. His politi cal, like his personal character, is above re proach. A comparison between the chequered political tergiversations of his opponent, Benj. F. Junkin, and the firm and unassuming con sistency ofcAlr. Fisher, results so largely, in j favor of the latter, that the people cannot ntis -1 judge between them. | For the Slate Legislature—HUGH STUART of Cumberland, and JOHN UARTZELL of Perry. Mri Stuart represented this county in the laSt Legislature, and his course gave uni versal satisfaction. Ho is a follower of .the plough,- from whioh r like Cincinnatus, the De mocracy have called him, to serve them in the important public capacity of Legislator. Heis a man of ptaclical experience, mature judg ment, and excellent business capacity. His name will be on the list oh members at Harris burg,'next winter. , ;i,'. His colleague onThe ticket, Capt. H!artzell, is one of those sound,, reliable Democrats qf daughter Perry—a man not to be swerved from his course by either fear or favor, lie will bring to the support of the ticket, a large num-. ber of personal, as well as political friends. . In all respects Mr. llartzbll is a good man, and true, and will, we doubt not, lead the ticket .in his own county'. ROBERT ALLISON of Carlisle, is our can didate for Sheriff, lie is a mechanic, who has,, all his life, made his living by the sweat of his brow. A man of sound, solid judgment, he.is uvevery respect, most admirably qualified for the office of Sheriff. He has done much for the party, and. deserves, and will receive, his rc . ward. His.opponent is said to have got . the i nomination “by accident,” and in consequence , large 1 numbers of .Republicans will give their support to Mr. Allison. . NATHANIEL 11. ECKLES of Hampden, our excellent candidate for County Commissioner, is the very man for this position. He is honest, capable, worthy. Tn many instances heretofore our people have not exercised the care, they should have, in selecting candidates for this important office. No man in Cumberland county is too good a man for this position, and yet it is a fact that a number of incompetent and ignorant men have been elected. Let our ■ tax-payers see to it lhat jin future no * mus shall he foisted into the Commissioner’s of fice: Let them elect Hr. Eckxes now, and fol low it up hereafter, by electing equally good men,, and they will never regret it. ' ABRAHAM BOSLER, our candidate for pi rector of the Poor, is a sterling man and worthy Democrat, against whoso political antecedents or whose personal character, even his political opponents cannot say a single word- lie is a farmer, residing, in South Middleton township, and has the confidence and respect of all. his ] fellow citizens in the county, to almost every one of whom he is personally known. He is well.quaiifled for the position, and will make a faithful, energetic and responsible public officer. GEORGE SCOBEY of Carlisle, our candidate for Auditor, has served well for a life lime in the Democratic ranks. In public position he has always been carefully regardful of the in terests of the people, aud’in private life he is es teemed by all who know Him. Ho is an excel lent clerk and accountant, and therefore admi rably qualified for the duties that will devolve upon him., Thus have we briefly urged upon our readers the superior claims and superior qualifications, of each candidate upon the Democratic ticket. Democrats of Cumberland 1 it is for you to say what shall be the majority for this ticket on next Tuesday. Rally in your strength, and a I glorious victory will be yours. Free-Trade Junkin! Keep it before the people, that Benjamin F. Junkin spent-weeks last Fall, in electioneering -for DavidAV-ilmot, who, according-to. the. WJiig. I newspapers; was* British Free Trade Tory,” and’, that, in doing so, he endorsed Wilmot’s Free Trade doctrines,and, therefore, is only try ing, to humbug the voters-of the Congressional District, when he tells them-that he is in favor of a high tariff. Keep it before the people that Benj.- F. JuN kln is, now, on a ticket headed by an avowed Free Trader, John M. Read, who bas,.time and again, expressed his hostility to a Protective Tariff. . Keep it before the people that Benj. F. Jun kin is the nominee of a parly which had the majority In Congress when the present Tariff was established, and one of whose leaders, -fcewis D. Campbell, of Ohio, is the author of that Tariff. ~_ _ Keep it before the 'people that Benj. F. Jun ■KiN belongs to a party which in the Eastern and i Western States, is in favor of Free Trade, and which makes “Protection” an issue in but a single.Slalc in the Union, viz: Pennsylvania, where it supposes votes may be • caught by so dqjng. , . Keep it before the people that, as Bbnj. F. Junkin’ .supported a so called “British Free Trade Tory” for Governor, fast Fall, and as he is on-a ticket headed by a notorious Free Tra der and below too, and’ is the nominee of a par ty ,vt Inch is responsible for the present low TV-, iff, he is a full-blooded, wool-dyed, Wilinot Free Trader, no matter what may be his pro fession in favor of a high,Tari(T. Tlie German Vole. Can any German vote for that miserable ren egade, Junkin ? He is seeking the votes of our German fellow-citizens—but can they support him ? We do not believe they will do it. He ought to be ashamed to ask a German' to sup port him. He is a red-hot Know Nothing, and used to abuse the .Germans shamefully. He said they were not fit to vote, but now he asks them to vote for him. He said they ought never to be allowed to hold office, but now he asks them to elect him to a lygh office. He would not vole for a. German for Constable, but he wants the Germans to elect him to' Congress. Now what would this Know Nothing do if he should be elccled' to Congress ? Ho would go for a law to prevent Germans from voting'll all, or at least make them live in this country tweri ty-one years before, they could vote. That is what Mr. Junkin' willilo if elected to Congress. He thinks he can client the Germans into voting lor him, and then he . would turn around and laugh at them. But they are not such fools ns to be cheated,!)} - him. They know that Fisher is their friend. They know that Fisher stood up and defended them when the Know Nothings were abusing them like .dogs. They recollect the good speeches he made in their favor, when Junkin and all the oilier Know Nothings were saying all that was bad against them. The Germans will not vote for Junkin because they know he is their enemy. They will vote for Fisher, because the}'know he is their friend. Union and Victory. It is so plainly the duty of every member of the Democratic' party to pursue the course marked out in the following sensible article from an exchange, that it will be difficult to find a Democrat willing to advocate any other policy. It in essential not only to the present success of the Democratic party,* but to its very existence, to forget-the unfortunate differences which have lately existed: •■The Duty op the Democratic Party.— The Democratic party of the present day has a great duty to perform —one that must tell upon the future peace and prosperity of our great country. It is a high and imperative duty o. the Democratic party to secure and perpetuate its own union and harmony —because it isa.onc through, this means that the Union and the Constitution of our common country cnn< be preserved, and all their inestimable advanta ges and blessings transmitted to thpsefcwho come after its. SVe dp not believe onr/Union, which is the wonder and admiralimT of the world, could survive a single.yenr were it not for the influence; the guidance andlthe princi ples of the National Democracy. ‘Take these away—remove entirely their conciliatory and harmonizing influences, and give loose reign to the*mad spirit of sectional fanaticism for a sin gle year, and bur proud, confederacy would be at an end forever. . . ■ Democratic Victory in California. . » By die steamer which has just arrived at New York, we receive' some news that will be little relished by the boasting bolters from the Democratic organization. They, with the ac- companying chorus of the old, enemies, have been singing anticipatory To Pecans over the victory which they intended to achieve over the parly to which they claim to belong. But this first gun will make their rebellious hearts sink. Mr. Broderick; who so Tauntingly,' from his scat in the national Senate, appealed from the Legislature of his Slate, which sent him instruc tions last winter, has been .post overwhelmingly arid ingloriously defeated. .The Democratic Slate ticket is elected By from six to ten thou sand majority over, the combined* Opposition; for there was an unnatural, (though itfniy prove to bo natural) but complete fusion be tween the-friends of Mr. Broderick or Mr. M'Kibben and the Republicans. , No Democrat, therefore, can sympathize with them ihefoukving,article from the,Sari Irancisco W°e"said that the issue was distinctly made. It is true that when the Presidents.annual mes sage was first received, arid soon thereafter, the sneech of Judge Douglas, taking antagonistic nUsitions on the Kansas question, many good Democrats waveringly paused. No man had warmer or more earnest friends, or in greater numbers, than had that, distinguished. Senator in our Statc. It was not surprising, therefore, that he found backers among us. In a little while, however, as the matter become properly I understood, a great.reaction took place. -* The press spoke.out and stripped the subject of the disguises which demagogues had thrown around it.: Resolutions, instructing our Senators and fea nesting our Representatives To sustain the Kansas policy of the President, were put thro’ the Legislature by, an overwhelming majority. Still many of Douglas’ friends adhered to him, and threatened at one time a serious schism in our parly- When, however, news of the pas sage of the English bill was received, with stri king’ unanimity they fell into rank. Like true Highland warriors, they rallied to the music of the Democratic pi broch. Then it was the* fight assumed its proper phase. Broderick had re fused to obey ins I rue. ions. McKibben had turned an unheeding ear to our Legislative re quest. The former had applied to the Presi dent epithets of the. grossest vulgarity. The latter bad transferred his allegiance from the party that elected him.. With full understan ding with their Black Republican allies and bol ting Confederates they left the scene of their treachery for California. _ The programme of battle was fully concoc-, ted. First the fight was to be made at the pri mary elections under the regular call of the Democratic Stale Central Committee. Failing in this, then to. bolt, cut themselves lopse from their party, and amalgamate with their Black Republican confederates. Their first effort was a disgraceful failure. Though entering with zeal into the fightrontrof-three hundred and twenty-four delegates to the State Conven tion, elected some forty odd. With this miserable, beggarly squad, they organized, apart from the regular Democracy, made over tures, to the Black Republicans, whose State Convention met the next day, and wound up by a most cordial* marriage with that party. — Although the Congressional election had been postponed by an act of the Legislature, true to their higher law instincts, candidates for Con gress were nominated. McKibben, at whose earnest instance prior to his desertion the law was passed, was nominated by both the Black and Broderick Republicans. The Democracy, of course, made no-nomination, leaving the en tire field to this new champion of higher law ism. As might be expected, he defeated him self. Baldwin and Melony, the regular Admin istration nominCfe for Justice of the Supreme Court and Comptroller, have received a majori ty in the State over him, and his confederates of from six to eight thousand votes. The admin istration of James Buchanan has thus been tri umphantly sustained. The course of our Sen ator and Representative who so nobly stood by him has been endorsed. Broderick and his foul treachery have received an overwhelming re buke. McKibben has been consigned to the si lent depths of that “coyote hole,” from which he was so unpropitiously dragged. The hy brid mongrel party to which they belong may recognize them as leaders hereafter, but the true Democracy will have none of them. , O” At a meeting of the Board of Trustees of the Methodist Episcopal Church, of Carlisle, lB5B, the following rcsolutions’wcre adopted: .

Democrats are you all ready? As this is,the last opportunity; we will have'before thp election* we urge upon cvery Democtat who lias the good ’of his country, and. the Democratic par ly at heart, to be up and doing. - We have the strength in Cumberland coun ty to beat out the enemies of the De mocratic cause, and if wo permit the present opportunity io pass by without embracing'it, disgrace will forever hang upon our shoulders. The opposition' are full of hope, and boast of being able to beat our ticket, and are now using every means to accomplish their pb jsct. Democrats'of Old Mother Cumber land, shall this be so ? We trust not. \Ve have a good ticket in the field, and all bickerings, prejudices, and prefer ences should be thrown aside, and unite as one man iii the support of our tick et. If this be'duiie, victory will crown our efforts, and \ye will have the proud satisfaction ftrknow that the opposition to Democratic principles is nowhere in the fight. v . ■' • Arouse, lbeiij-t Democrats, gird on ■yourarmour, and prepare for the fight. Don’t leave ,the polls until every vote is deposited. ~ Go.the polls early, make arrangements to lake your Democratic neighbor with yon, and use every fair and honorable means to secure the suc cess, of the Democratic ticket.

To per form this,, we must devote the whole' day to unceasing activily .at, th.e 'polls: We must pick our flints, look at our. priming, and enter the; conflict deter mined to maintain our rights. Our motto must be “ VICTORY !” Don't Scratch the Ticket! Democrats let there be no scratching of names froni'the Democratic ticket this year. Vote the ticket, the whole ticket, a:nd nothing but the Democratic ticket. The Black: Republicans have resolved to do this, and we must meet them at all points.

Let there be no staying! at "home—go and vote rain or shine, all will be well. Spurious Tickets! Already quite a large number ;of tickets have : been printed by the oppo sition, that are calculated to deceive.— The Democratic ticket is. printed with the exception dfiourcandidate for She riff, in whose Stead the opposition can didate is inserted. We have no doubt but that the same game will be played off on others on the Democratic ticket. Keep a look out for them, Democrats ! Action I Action.! The time has passed. Action, energy and perseverance must from this day forth, be the only wea pons of warfare. <Be, therefore, indus trious, energetic; let vigilance direct your footsteps; let the glorious cause stimulate every Democrat to' emulate his brother in well-doing. The reward is certain—the prize invaluable. The importance of one vote! Let no Democrat argue that one vote lost will make no' difference on Tues day next. Hundreds often argue in the same way at the same time, and all with the best intentions, but good in tentions without corresponding eflorts never saved an election, though it lost many. Let every Democrat feel that his vote is needed, and no one can be justly chargeable with an unfortunate result.. Let every Democratic vote be polled and victory is certain; BURNING OF THE AUSTRIA., Appalling Calamity at Sea—sixty-nine saved out of six hundred—Explosion of the Maga zine—Agonizing scene—origin. of the Fire- Culpable Negligence—lnteresting Statement of a Passenger. „ ■ Halifax, Sept. 27.—The barque Lotus from Liverpool, arrived in Halifax harbor on Sunday afternoon, With twelve of the sixty-nine survi ving passengers ofthe steamship Austria, burnt at sea. Sept. 13th. in lat, 45'01. long. 41. 30, taken from the barque Maurice on the 14th. The agent of the Associated Press immediate ly boarded the Lotus and obtained the follow ing particulars; , „ ' , The following is, the statement of Charles Brew, orie of the survivors : ■ , I look passage at Southampton on the 4th in the steamship Austria,Capt. Heydlman, which left Hamburg on the 2d. We sailed at o 1. M. : the evening being a little misty we, m con sequence, anchored between the Isle of Wight and. the main land ; sailed again at 4 o Clock-on the following morning. In weighing anchor an unfortunate acidcnt occurred, by which one of the crew lost his life. Owing to some mis management,. the anchor run out, whirling the capstain around with terrific force arid hurling the men in all directions. Two were severely injured, and one thrown overboard. He was supposed to have been instantly killed, as he never rose to the surface. From the. time the ship was laid on her course wo experienced strong westerly winds. ' On the 12th the weather was more favorable, and on the 13lh a spccd ol eleven knots had “been obtained, and all were in hopes.of .roach* ing New York by the 18th. At a little after 2 o’clock, P. M., I Was on the quarter deck, when I saw a dense volume of smoke burst from the after entrance of the steerage. Some women ran aft, excla’ming, ‘'.The ship is on fire! What will become of usV' The ship was instantly put at half speed, at which she continued until the magazine exploded, froth which I infer the engineers were instantly suf focated. I only walked from where I was. on the quarter deck, to the waist of the ship, when I saw the flames breaking, through the lights amidships. As the ship, was head to the wind, the fire travelled with fearful rapidity. I then went to the man at the wheel, and IrdcJ h . jn to put the vessel with her side to iho wind, Ite hesitated—probably did not understand mi}, as he was a'native of-Hamburg., Ilhen got a (iernian gentleman to speak to him." At this jl saw some persons letting down the boat .on ithe port side of the qbarter deck.. What be cameb'f the boat I don’t know, but think she was crushed under.lhescrew. f then went to get a boat over from, the starboard side of the qltarlcr-deck, but ihe' tnoment We laid our hands on the ropes, there were so many who crowded uito it that we could not lift it off the blocks. He, therefore, left'it for a few minutes until the people-got out, when we, returned and launched it over the sides of the ship,-when,the ■people, all rushing into it . again, it descended with great violence into the water, and it was instantly swamped, all the people being-wash ed out excepting three, who held on to the sides. Wefbeh let down a rope, and pulled up one person, Who proved to be thesteward. Anoth er, in the act of being hauled,up, was strangled by the rope. . The fire how came on too fiercely to attempt to get up any more from the swamped boat.— All the first-cabin passengers were on the poop, with the exception of a few gentlemen, who must; have been smothered in the smoking room. Many of the second.cabin passengers were also on the poop, but ft number of them got shut intodheir cabin by the fire.. Some of them were pulled up through the ventilator, but the'greater number could not bo extricated. — The last woman who was drawn up said there were six already, suflocaled. iWe now perceived-that the ship had got her head 10 the. wind "again, so that the flames came over the quarter deck. In consequence of the crowd, I could not get to the wheel-house to ascertain’the reason, but- 1 was informed that the helmsman had deserted Ins post, and that -the vessel being left to herself, headed to the wind of her own accord. At this time the scene on the quarter deck -was indescribable, and truly heart rending.— Passengers were rushing frantically, to ana fro,; husbands seeking their wives—wives in search of their husbands—relatives looking after rola lives —mothers lamenting the loss of their chil dren—some wholly paralysed with fear, others madly crying to be saved—but a few per fectly calm and cqllecled. , The flames pressed so closely upon, them that many jumped into the sea: relatives clasped in each other’s arms, leaped over and met a wa tery grave., Two girls, supposed to bo sisters, jumped overboard, jnd sunk kissing eacb. oth er. Ono Hungarian gentleman, with seven fine children, lour of them girls,lnndehia wife jump 3n, thori blessed hia six eldest children, made them jump in ono after the other, and followed them’with an infant in hisavma I, about this time, was standing outside of] the bulwarks, holding bn by the davits, leaning out to avoid the flames, which wore leaping to- 1 wards mo.. I saw a swamped .boat under mo, spinning by a rope still attached to the ship.— As the oars were lied to her, I thought it I could got to her I would/ bo enabled to save myself and some others* I let myself down by a rope,-passing over a.man who was clinging to it, but who refused to come with mo; I took out a pen knife to cut the tackle; the largo blade broke, and I then severed it with, the small blade. Tho.ship then passed ahead, and as the boat approached the screw I found the, boat was drawn towards it; I tried, to keep it away, but the'screw caught the, boat and cap sized it over me. I dived away from the ship, andcamo to the surface near the boat which was now keel upward; I got on her, and by pressing* on one side, with the assistance of a wave she hut was still swamped. The oars had been knock ed out by the screw.. The only thing I could find in her to paddle with, was some lajhs nail ed together as a sheathing for the sides. * When I looked around, the ship was a quarter of a mile from mo, I could see the ladies and gen" tlemen jumping off the poop into tho water, in twos and threes, some of the ladies being in flames. Several hesitated to leap from the burn ing ship until the last moment, as the height was twenty-two feet, and were only at length compelled to throw, themselves off to avoid a more painful death. In half an hour not a soul was tc be seen on the poop. I pulled after the ship and picked up a German, who was swimming Strongly ; I got him beside mo on the boat, and we paddled after the ship with the laths. I now saw a ves sel under sail, approaching! She reached the steamer at about live P. M. We continued pulling towards them, and at about half past seven, after being five hours in the water, got within hail of the sailing vessel. She put off a boat and took us on board. She proved to be the French barque Maurice, Captain Ernest Renaud, of Nantes, bound from Newfoundland to the Isle of Bourbon with fish. She had, up to that time! rescued forty passengers of the burning steamer, chiefly taken off the bowsprit, though a few were picked up floating around. At about 8 o'clock, one of tho metallic boats camo up, with about twenty-three persons, in eluding the second and third officers. After wards, three or four men were picked up, float ing on a piece of a broken boat. The second of ficer was taken up, having been swimming, with nothing to float him, for six hours. Tho second and third officers were severely burnt. One nmlcpassenger was burnt frightfully, and some of the other male passengers slightly. There were but six women saved, three of .whom were burnt, one in a shocking manner. Captain Renaud acted with tho utmost kind ness. ile gave clothes, as far as ho could fur nish them, io-tho suffering passengers, and no ted as-a nurse, doctor, and surgeon to the burnt people, dressing tho wounds of the females with a delicacy and tenderness that evinced a benev olent and amiable disposition. I did not see an officer of the ship during the fire, and am certain there was not one of them or tho orew on tho poop, except a man at tho wheel for a short time. I understand' that when tho captain heard- of llic fire lie rushed on deck without a cap, and when ho sawllte flames, exclaimed “ We are all lost." lie trie(\to gel out a boat, which, acoi< dentally or not I do not know, fell into the sea and was soon left far behind, ■ .The fourth of ficer was in the boat- Ho out her' loose from the davits. She was carried under the'screw and smashed, and several in her were drowned. Three or four men escaped on a fragment and were picked-up by the Maurice, as before sta ted- About the same time one metallic life boat from the port bow ■ was let down and swamped, but got cleared away with about thirty- three persons in her, including the’first and third officers and several women. , The men in the boat capsized her two or three times in trying to clear her of water. Ten per sons were thus drowned, including some wo men. They afterwards bailed'her out with (hit in,two and pulled to the Maui ice, having picked up two or three passen gers before reaching the barque. Altogether there were sixty-seven souls taken into the Maurice during the night. A.Norwcgian barque came up with the stea mer the next morning, and a boat was observ ed going around the burning ship. They may have picked up a.few persons, but only a-few. The Maurice had ho communication with the Norwegian'barque, b Atabout seven o'clock the Maurice sailed for Fayitl to deposit the resciied passcngeis. , , At,about two O’clock,‘tbe same afternoon, she fell in with the barque Lotus, Captain Trafy, of Yarmouth, Nova Scotia, from -Liverpool for Halifax. As I was anxious to get on British territory Captain Trafy kindly gave hie a pas sage. He was anxious to take all the Ameri can citizens, but there was such a rush of for eigners into the boats that only one load of eleven Could bo got off, and even several of these were foreigners. The. fire is, kne.wn to have arisen from Very culpable negligence of some of the crew- • The captain aind surgeon considered it expe dient to fumigate the steertige with burning tar. The operation vvas to bo performed by the boats wain, under the , superintendence of the fourth officer.. The boatswain heated tho end of a chain, to dip in the tar in order to produce smoko. The end.became too hot to hold, and ho let it drop upon the deck, to which it set fire. The tar upset, and. immediately all about was in flames. A feeble attempt was made to extinguish it, but without effect. There was nothing at hand to meet, such ah emergency. Front the Philadelphia Argus. , John 31, Head and -the Tariff.. Philadelphia, Oct. 2, 1858. Messks. Editors. —The Opposiiion say, \vhat everybody knew before, that in publish ing the letter to George M. Dallas,, in one of the newspapers of the -day, the name of JdTin F. Read is attached to it, and not John M. Read. Of course this is a mere typographical error.— Blit why not give us the other newspapers prin ted correctly at the lime, John M. Read ? Why not produce the manuscript itself? That surely will not lie ; and Mr. Read will not deny his own signature. There is no such man liv ing as John F. Read. Ah ! but they havefound a dead one, and that will do well enough Until after the election. The letter of Mr. Read and others to Mr. Dallas has been published repeat edly for years, and no one of the signers ever denied his signature. The person who now undertakes it for Mr. Read may wcll clo so when he has secured the manuscript, and has it safe ly folded in his breeches pocket. . But why not deny his votes in the LegWa ture? Why is this studied silence in regard-to this portion of the charge ? . The instructing resolution on page 241. of the pamphlet laws of the year 1823-4, is in these words: “ That'the Senators of this Stale, in the Sen ate of the United States, be and they are here by instructed, and the Representatives of this Statein Congress, be and they are hereby re quested, to exert their influence in establishing a Tarift for. the protection of bur Domestic Man ufactures and Agricultural interests.” . IBy turning tor tbe'Journal of the House of Representatives of that session, page 448, we find on the passage of that resolution there were only 18 nays, one of which was John M. Read, member from the city of Philadelphia. Can you make John F. Read out of that? Now 1 have given book and.page. The.public records certainly will not falsify. Suppose that when our bill for an increase of the Tariff is up, next winter, some Southern member of Congress should rise’ in his place and say that this cry for a Tarift in Pennsylva nia is alia sham, and in prool of that assertion state that, at- the last election, the people of Pennsylvania elected a man to the very highest office, who’is the most notorious free trade man in the Slate. What answer could be given to such a speech ? , , c It may be said that I am a manufacturer, and. am actuated by private interest. Be it so I attended the Tariff meeting held here on the 116th’ of June, and co-operated heartily with what was there said and done; and intend hon estly to carry out and be governed by the reso- lutions reported by Mr. Henry C, Carey, arid others, one of'which was in the words following: “ Resolved, That it is oiir .fixed determina- tion, at all foiure elections, to - give our votes to such candidates and such only, as shall prove themselves prepared to give their aid to measures looking to securing to the American laborer a market for his labor.” . Now, Mr. Carey and Mr. McMichael may aold that resolution in one hand, at the elec ion, and the ticket for the free trade candidate in the other, if they think I, for one, will never make what I believe to be thepubhe good subservient tp my politics. And [ ask those gentlemen to pause, and ask themselves whether their present course of action will bear the reflection of after years. With what face will they attempt here&ftcr to call us together to a Tarill'meeting ? Jitb; In Shippensburg. on tlie-17lli ult., Mr. John Ortswell, Sr. in the 90lh year of his age. Lift Your Licenses.
