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.
