The members of the Democratic String Committee of Cumberland county are'fcqucsted to meet at Raymond’s hotel."in Carlisle, on Fri day, the 16th day of September, at 1 o clock. P. M., for.lhe purpose of permanently organi zing, and making such other arrangements ns may.-be deemed proper for conducting the pres ent campaign. A full attendance is earnestly requested. Three op the Committee, To all it may Concern. We. intend sending bills, in a'few days, to all those indebted to us for subscription, advertising, &c,, and hope they will be paid promptly. It is our intention to buy new type for oiir pa per and improve it, and in order to do this it is absolutely necessary for those in arrears to pay up. So. be ready for, our Collector when he calls on yon. Marshai, Yost.—The United States Marshal for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, lion. Jacob S. Yost, arrived in our town in the" af ternoon train on Monday, and remained here oyer night. During his stay ho was called upon by quite a number of our citizens, who embra ced the opportunity to pay their respects to him. ¥ r ; Yost is a gentleman of line address, and is universally regarded a most faithful and ener getic officer. It has been our fortune to know Mr. Yost long and well,' and we have always found him the same high-minded generous gen tleman. Taken Below.:—Peter Kefautre, who was arrested .last week by Special Mail Agent Moore, on the charge of embezzling letters con taining money, from the mail at the Dickinson Post-office, in this county, was taken to Phila delphia by United States Marshal Yost, on Tuesday morning. He has been in our jail siriefc his arrest, and has been taken, to Philadel phia for the purpose of being bound over or committed for trial at the November session ,of the U. S; Court. Kefautre had been em ployed dOriiig th’e sickness of the late Post-Mas ter at Dickinson, (Squire Adld.) to attend to the duties of the office. lie continued in the office for some two weeks after the death of the Post-Master, and it was during this time that the supposed embezzlement took place.— Whether the prisoner is guilty or not, of course We cannot tell. We hope he may establish his innocence, for if found guilty, he will {and just ly too,) be sentenced to an imprisonment, of some ten years in the penitentiary. The evi dence that will be offered against him, we be lieve, is altogether circumstantial. Kefauvre , is a son-in-law of the late Squire Auld, and' is a man of family. ' ’ Ik A Fix. —Our Republican opponentsin this District are at a dead lock on the subject of Senator. The Conferees representing the four counties met at Newport last week, and after balloting for two days, adjourned without ma king a nomination. On Tuesday they re-as sembled at the same place, to make another cf fort. At the lime of this writing we had heard nothing in regard to what was done. At the first meeting the voting, from first 10-last, stood, for Irvin 6; for Patterson 3; for Butler 3. Camp Meeting.—There was an immense turn out, on Sunday, to the camp-meeting in Dunlap's woods, near Shepherdatown. , The rural districts of old Cumberland were largely represented, as was also Harrisburg. Wc have heard the number of people on the ground vari ously estimated at from four to seven thousand. A few individuals! who took supplies of liquor along, were intoxicated, but ns a general thing good-order prevailed throughout the day, and the exercises passed off quietly. ' Took French Leave.—A young man named Javss Jenneti, who has been employed for the] Inst six months as a driver at Mr. Hilton’s liv. ery, stable, took French leave of Carlisle, Some two-weeks since, after collecting about $75 or $BO of his employer's moneyi He was also in debted to Mr. Hilton $2O or $3O of advanced wages. Jennett is a good driver and horse trainer, and was quite popular with the patrons of-Mr.- Hilton’s establishment. It is supposed this fellow has gone west, and we therefore warn livery men to be on the look-out for his tricks. He is a man of about 35 years of age, but has a young look,-with brown hair,flbrid complexion, and-about 5 feet 6 inches in height. OP* Senator Douglass passed through Har risburg on Monday on . his way west. During bis brief stay in the place he received the con gratulations of hundreds of his admirers. By A poet saysi' Ar-O, she was fair, but sor tow came and left his trices there.” What be came of the balance oi the harness he dou’t state.. Oliß TICKET[ci)3IPLETE. ’ The nomination of Di. Ciiawfoud for Slate Senator in this District completes the Demo cratic ticket, and we therefore deem the present the proper time to refer to our candidates, and to impress upon our readers the importance of yielding them a hearty and energetic support. They were placed in nomination by a full Coun ty Convention, and are entitled to the support of the Democratic party. That wo can elect the ticket by a handsome majority, no one wilt gainsay. All that is.wanted is union and.har mony, and a determination not to permit jeal ousies and bickerings to distract our counsels. Of course, in the formation of a ticket all cannot be gratified, and this being the case, it is not strange that some Democrats feel chagrined and mortified. This is natural, and not to be con demned. But, lot no one permit this feeling of disappointment to carry him into the camp of the enemy—let him not seek revenge by making opposition to the candidates of his own party. It sometimes happens that men who are candi dates for nominations in the Democratic party. as,weU as in other parlies, and are defeated, will immediately a'ly themselves with an oppo sing party, and lay schemes and plots to defeat their successful rivals. Such men are selfish to a degree that absorbs every good trait of char acter, and they are so riarrdw-minded as" to glory in gratifying a petty spite at the expense of an opponent. Every candidate who goes be fore a Convention for nomination, expects/in case he is nominated, the support of his party. If all who are not nominated are to gratify their spleen by opposing the one who succeeds, what becomes of the parly ? The inference is plain that defeat must follow ; and it is equally clear that men who will thus act, are members of an organization Only because they hope to gain position.andprofitby.it. Let Democrats, then, one and all, determine to yie'd a cordial sup port to the entire ticket, and thus elect it by an old-fashioned majority. For Stale Senator ive have Dr. F. D. Craw ford, of Juniata couhty. He is most admira bly qualified for this position, and, as a member of the Senate—for he will he e'ectcd—will occu py a prominent position. His fitness to repre sent the people of Cumberland, Perry'; Juniata, and Mifflin, with integrity and ability, is not doubted by any one, and against his reputation no breath of. slander dare be uttered. lie is above reproach, and the people of this county wilrbe proud of their Senator in the person of Dr. Crawford. Our nominees for Assembly, Johnß. Church of this county, and John" Power of Perry, are men whose characters, moral and political, are. unimpeached and unimpeachable. Both are intelligent, honest and worthy, antfTf the peo- ple of this district are true to themselves, these gentlemen will be elected triumphantly. For Counly Treasurer the Convention nomi nated Ai) u ait am Killian ol Newville. He is a Democrat in whom the, most implicit reliance can.be placed—a working man in the parly— one who has ever been foremost in doing battle for Democratic principles. He is universally esteemed as an honest man and good citizen by those who know him best, and will receive a vote in the upper cud that “will astonish the natives.” James 11. "Waggoner of Carlisle, received the nomination for the responsible, office of County Commissio.oqr. In the faithful dis charge of the duties ot this-olSae every lax-pay- er feels—or at least should feel—a deep interest. Too often have we permitted nien to be elected to this position, who lacked the necessary qual- ificalionS to discharge properly the duties that devolved on them. Mr, Waggoner, however, is a gentleman of intelligence, and is amply qualified. He is an industrious mechanic, „6f unblemished character, and in the event of his election, will make one of the best Commission ers we have had for many years. J. W. D. Gii.lei.bn-, Esq., our candidate for District Attorney, is a young man of, excellent' legal qualifications, possessing a reputation un impeachable, and all the elements of popularity, and will be elected beyond a peradvenJUtrel lie was nominated by .a decided majority, and, we presume, will be so elected. Col. William Gracet, the candidate for Dhcctofiaaf the Poor, is so well known to the people of Cumberland county, that no word of introduction or commendation from us is neces- sary. Suffice it to say, he is an able and highly honorable man, and universally respected by men of all parties. Ilis election is a fixed fact. The selection of the remaining officers, John W. Cocklin for Auditor, Abraham Lamder- ton for County Surveyor, and;David Smith for Coroner, must give general satisfaction, for if honor and integrity are of any, weight in the community, they will be elected triumphantly, Such, fellow-citizens, are the nominees; they are all good and true; men, competent to dis charge the duties of the places for which they have been nominated, and worthy your united and zealous support. Let us forget all our pre- ferences as to men, and rally around our ban ner now flung to the breeze, and determine to elect every man upon the ticket. Before a nomination, cadi member of the party should urge his individual choice with zeal; after a nomination, individual preferences should be merged in the public good and pub'ic will, and all go in unitedly and to a man for the nominees. Any other course musj. ensure only distraction and defeat. Then, Democrats of Cumberland, be up and doing, and from this time until the close of the ballot-boxes on the second Tuesday of October, work with a right goodwill for the success of our ticket, and when victory peiches upon our banners, we will all rejoice "together and have I a good lime generally. The differences which existed about individuals, and the various opin ions entertained on questions of no vital impor tance. should all alike be forgotten for the eom , mon good. A true Democrat is a Democrat for r principles and not for men, and no oisarppoint . ment can swerve him from the support of those I principles. The Fair and the Ladies.—lt is to bo hoped the ladies of our town and county wilt exert themselves and contribute needle work and fan. cy articles for the decoration of “ Floral Hall” at the coming County Fair. It is designed to make this usually attractive department doubly so this year. Ladies, let us sec who can con tribute the choicest collection of articles in this line, Go to work with a will, and show to tho world what the daughters of old Cumberland can do. • The Whiskey Mahket. — £i Whiskey better” says tho tolegrngh in reporting the markets.— Those who like tho article will bo highly delight ed with the news. A “ better” article is cer- Jainly needed, if any is peedednt nil. OGB NEXT AGRICULTURAL FAIR. Tho Fair of tho Cumberland County Agricul tural Society, to bo hold on the grounds of the Society, close to Carlisle, on tho 12th, ISthand Mtli or next :month, will, we trust, be an exhi bition every wity.woithy the great agricultural interests of Cumberland county. Wo regret, however, that the Manager’s ideas of economy prevent them publishing tho regulations to be observed during the Fair, and the list of tho premiums to bo offered. Ours is Hie only Agri cultural Society in flic State that neglects (ogive publicity to this almost necessary.information— aud this on the miserable plea of economy. This is “ the penny wise and pound foolish” tyodo oj doing business. So far as we are concerned, if the Society is too poor or parsimonious to pub lish to the farmers of our county the necessary information relative to the Fair, wo will agree to insert it a few times gratis. This will remedy tho neglect so much complained of, and will not interfere with the funds of the Society. But, td the subject of tlio next Fair. As this has been a season of plenty, wo hope to see our agricultural friends vie with each other in pla cing on exhibition the products of their labor. The managers of ottr Society aro now having tho grounds, stalls, sheds, &0., put in complete order ior exhibiting the various articles that may bo presented, and we have no doubt the coming cxhibitionwiil.be the best, in nil its parts, we have vet had. The late Daniel Web ster, in speaking of the benefits of Agricultural Fairs, on one occasion, said : . “The principle of association—the practice of bringing men together bent on tho same ge neral object, pursuing (ho same general end, uniting, their intellectual and thoir physical ef forts to that purpose, is a great improvement in the present age. . And it has become essential to tlio best interests of the farmers of. the Com monwealth, that these annual fairs should be established, and that they should be universally attended. From the meeting of men together who have the same general object, who wish for improvement in the same general pursuits of life—that they may converse with one another ‘—that they may compare with each other their experience, and that (hoy may keep tip a con. stant communication. It is in this point of view in tins greatly practical point of view—that these annual fairs are of importance. Why, gentlemen, every man. obtains a very groat portion of all that lie knows in this world, by conversation. Conversation—intercourse with other minds—is the general source of most of our knowledge. Books do something, but every.ninri has not tiie opportunity to read. It is conversation that improves. If any one of us, learned or unlearned, deduct what he lias learned by, conversation from what he knows, lie would find but very little left, and that little not of the most valuable kind. It is conversa tion—it is the meeting of men, face to‘face, and talking over wbiit they have common in interest —it is.lbis intercourse that makes men sharp, '"intelligent", ready to communicate to others, and ready to receive intimations from them, and ready (o act upon those only which they receive by. this communication. Therefore, inhere wore not a thingexhibited —it there were not a good pair of steers, nor a tine.horse,,nor likely cow* in tiioWhole county— if lliero be no society—if there be ladies, wives, and daughters—it there he those connected with the‘tillage of land", —I say that tiiese annual meetings are highly important to progess in the art to which they refer. I come here as a poor farmer, to meet with other better farmers, ready to receive flora thorn any intimations their ex perience may have taught, and desirous only of suggesting something for .their reflection which, now or hereafter, may drawtheir attention, and draw it usefully to something in the agrioultu. ral art.” ‘•ls, Memory, op Washington;”— Our cit izens, when visiting the Post Office, should not noglijct to drop a dime, or a quarter" into the box put up for the reception of contributions in aid of the completion of the Washington Monu ment. -Ifeach indmdnaj will conffibutea trifle,a handsome snni can be raised in Carlisle for that purpose; Let us show, by our prompt and liberal response lb the appeal for material aid, that we honor the memory of the “Father of his country,” and are willing to do our full share towards completing the great national work now in progress. Wc repeat, don’t over look the monument box. Salt, op the Carlisle Iron Wores Estate. —On Thursday last, the Carlisle Iron Works Estate was sojd at public out-cry, on the prem ises, by the assignees of Peter E. EoE. for $55,100. Purchasers, Wm. M. BeCtem, Cary W. Ahl, of Carlisle, Win. D." Himes, of Adams county, and William Young, of York county. This is one of the best properties in Pennsylva nia. containing 9.000 acres of land, between 400 and 500 acres of which are under cultiva tion. The purchasers certainly secured a bar gain. ' The IV EATiiED,—The nights and mornings lire getting decidedly cool, and give us a little idea of October weather. Autumn has already begun to breathe upon us, and tho trees of the grove and the forest will soon bo putting on their russet and fading into tho “aero and yellow leaf,” and we shall soon realize; 'fhe 'tlmo.'.and scenes so beautifully described by the poet: “ The melancholy days are come, The saddest of the year ;■ Of wailing winds and naked woods, And meadows broavn and sere.- Ileapedjn the hollows of the grove, Tho withered leaf Ho dead; They rustle to tho eddying gull. And to tho rabbits’ tread. The robin and tho wren have flown, And from tho shrub the jay; And from the wood top calls tho crow, Through all the gloomy day.” Tim Tonnage Tax Question. —The case of the Commonwealth ol Pennsylvania against the Pennsylvania Railroad Company, to recover the amount of Tonnage Tax due to the Sine and withheld by Tito Company, was argued in the Court of Common Pleas of Dauphin County, be fore Judge Jearson, by Messrs. Stanton and Cuyler for the Company, and St. George T. Campbell, Esq., and Attorney General Knox in behalf of the Commonwealth. Tho Court de livered an Opinion on Thursday last, instructing tho Jury that tho Tax was constitutional, and directing them to find (or the Commonwealth the fnll amount claimed —over s9l,ooo—which was done accordingly. Tho argument was sus- tained with the greatest ability on both ( sides, the defendants endeavoring to show (hat tho Tax was an impost upon commerce an din con flict with tlio Constitution of tho United States. Green Corn for Winter use. —When the corn is sufficiently advanced for cooking, boil on the cob, in tho same manner as it is generally prepared for table use. When it is done, cut it from the cob carefully, spread it on a cloth, and put it in the- sun to dry. When it is wanted for use, wash it, and put It in sufficient water, slightly salted, to boil for an hour. Then add a little now milk and butter, and it is ready for the table. 0“ The Hon. Franklin Pierce, late President of the United Slates, arrived at Boston, from Europe, with his wife, on board the steamship America, on the 20th ult.' General Pierce has made an extended tour of the continent, and was everywhere well received. State Polities. There is beginning to bo considerable activi ty in politics in different parts of the Stale.— The preparatory county meetings in a number of counties, have already been held, and in oth er counties tickets have been nominated. The Democracy appear to be awakening to the im portance of the election of the slate ticket, -r- From every part of the State we have the most encouraging accounts. Diflerenccs of opinion upon old and settled issues are giving way to a united and harmonious concert of action., This is ns it shopid be. There is but one way in which the Party can be successful, and that is by strong and vigorous effort and unity of ac tion. That this unity of action is every where taking place in our State, there is very abun dant evidence. The masses of the people are rallying under the “ old flag” and are preparing themselves to do service in October, by the tri umphant election of the Democratic State tick et—than which a more unexceptionable has never been placed before the people of Pennsyl vania, and must, as a consequence, command the admiration and . support of the .people throughout the Commonwealth. The office of Auditor General is, beyond question, the most important position in the State, inasmuch' as the incumbent holds the key to the Treasury. If a faithful sentinel stands there, he may save thousands of dollars to the lax payers of the State. If, on the other.hand, such a man does not occupy the place, thousands of dollars may be lost from the coffers of the Commonwealth. An honest, intelligent, straight-forward man is needed at ail times in that office—one whose in- e tegrity is above, suspicion. So, also, in the Surveyor General’s office; he should likewise be a roan of undoubted integrity and ability. — That Messrs. Wright and Rowe, the Democra tjic nominees, are just such men, uo one will dare to doubt gainsay. They have both been well tried in the public service, and found to bo all that the lax-payers can desire. Their records are without blemish, and, moreover, they are sound and consislcnt lt is this well known fact that is gaining strength for them in every section of the State, and that they will be triumphantly elected we have eve ry reason to believe. Sowing tlio Seed. The address recently isssued by the Republi can National Committee called loudly for mo ney to he used in the printing and distribution of documents, inculcating sound Republican doctrines, as a means of controling (lie. next election. Wo infer (hat the'lancet’ has drawn blood, for the other day we received two tracts, “ published by the Republican Association ol Washington, under, the direction of the Coh gres’sibnal Republican Executive Committee,” one entitled “Lands for the Landless;” and the other “ How we are Governed,” and both trans mitted in envelopes with the magic name of «J. Covode” endorsed thereon. J. Cpvode is pro shmed to be a man oi leisure, and is devoting that leisure to the useful and highly intellectual employment, of writing his illustrious bamo in le corners .of brown envelopes for the good of the cause ani| the preservation of the Republic. Moreover patriotism is not the only reward of J; Covode. He has set his heart upon being Governor of the State,*4md desires that the peo ple should become familiar with bis autograph, and bfi Dualh’ irapressed With the conviction tfapt no candidate is genuine unless marked J. Covode./;T®re novel and admi rable in tile notion.- If j. Covode only becomes notorious from the faetthat his name is atlaohed to brown envelopes scattered over every habita tion in the State, ho may at last become famous, and, who knows, he transmuted into a genuine statesman. All great men have had small be ginnings, and why may not J. Covode V Some may ask what has he done to entitle him to pub lic gratitude 1 We reply that, ho was a member of Congress at the hist session, when he signa lized himself by introducing a resolution, or making a .speech, against the celebrated Du quense letter, wherein the President lamented the use of money to control elections. J. Co. vode could not stand such anti-Repnblioen'doc trino as this; so ho kicked up his heels, in a (igurafive sense,"but nothing came 'of.lt. If ru mor can ho relied upon, he has protested in a vigorous and practical manner against the doc trine of the Duquensp letter, to show his ahiior rencoofits teachings. Ho is now in full pursuit of the Executive office, making combinations, securing delegates, and franking documents is sued by the Republican Association of Wash ington. Lot him persevere, and there is no tel ling to what eminence he may mount. He can roly upon us. Wd pledge ourselves to do him ample justice in caseihe. is nominated. Latest Foreion News. —By the Indian and the City of Washington,.at New York, we have full advices from Europe to the 18th ult. The army of Italy made its entry into Paris on Sunday, the 14th, and on the evening of that day' the Emperor gave a banquet to his Gene rals, at which he made a speech arid proposed the health of the arriiy. Upward of 1100 pris oners were pardoned, and the next day the Moniteur contained a decree granting an am nesty to all political offenders sunder sentence. It is affirmed that Napoleon has assured the English Government that he will not himself and will not allow Austria to restore the exiled Princes of Italy by force; and Lord John Rus sell had, just before the prorogation, for the second time, assured ■ Parliament that such were Napoleon’s intentions. The report of a republican rising at Parma, turns out to be un founded, arid order prevailed in the Dulchies. Garibaldi had accepted the command of the for ces of. Central Italy, and had arrived at Leg horn. The death of the King of Prussia was looked for hourly. The Ministerial crisis in Austria was not yet at an end.

The Leader promises “ further particulars” in a future number. Old Gid on tub Know Nothings.—Mr. Giddings has given ns his deliberate opinion that— • ‘,'No man adhering to the Know Nothing or ganization can be qualified- for office, nor should he receive a vote from Republicans.” •This is very unkind, after all the "coy, re luctant, amorous delay/' with which Ameri canism evinces its willingness to be taken to | the arms of Black Republicanism. AN UNMITIGATED LIE. The Black Republican State Central Commit tee for this Stale, of which that unblushing fal sifier, Levi ICmne, of Lebanon, is Chairman, have published, recently, what they call an Ad dress to the people of Pennsylvania, which con tains more lies than Levi Ki.ink s head con tains hairs. It starts out with a lie, ends with a lie, and every sentence and paragraph is a lie. We pass over a stereotyped attack upon sla very in the Stales, in which the Republicans profess to have no concern, but are constantly meddling with, to reach the grand climax of audacity, in the following passage which would be ridiculous, if it weV ( e not so outrageously false: The requirement of the passage of a slave code for the Territories, by Congress, is now boldly put forth,' and has received the recogni tion of that large division of the “ Democratic party," which adheres to the National Admin istration «» this State and elsewhere. It is an issue which must be met, and it is for you to declare at the polls your decision upon it. You cannot oppose it, and at the same time support the so styled “.Democratic Ticket” in Pennsyl vania. Emboldened by the ready submission which has been yielded to all their demands by the Administration Democratic party, and res olutc in their determination to crush out free la bor wherever it can come into competition with their own hostile system, the propagandists of slavery have actually determined to take the still further step of re-opening the African Slave Trade, and have already introduced info the country cargoes of savage negroes, smuggled across the ocean, and now held to compulsory sfervice on the rice, sugar and cotton fields of the South. Here we have the direct assertion that “ the large division of the,Democratic party which adheres to tho National Administration in this State and elsewhere,” requires the passage of a slave code by Congress. Now among all the Democratic newspapers in tills State, there is not a single one which has in the slightest degree countenanced the idea ol a slave code for the Territories. Nor do we believe there is a single solitary man in Pennsylvania, and very few-out Of it who are advocates of a “ slave code for tho Territories.” Nor is there a single man of any party in Penftsylvania, and not one hundred out of it, who advocate the re opening of Ihe Afri can Slave Trade. The administration at. Wash ingtori ore at present using every ellort to sup press this trade and to bring to-punishment the Black Republican scoundrels of New York and Massachusetts who are engaged in it. The African squadron has been augmented and fur nish d with vessels of light draught to. pursue the slave vessels into the rivers and shallow wa ters. The home squadron has also reorganized for the same purpose. It is a fact, that every slave, vessel that lias yet been captured, was owned and-filtcd out by parties in New York Or Massachusetts, who, at home, call themselves' “ Republicans And yet these “Republi cans”—these negro stealers—cry out against the Democrats and accuse us with favoring the re-opining of tho African Slave Trade ! Oh, for a whip in every honest hand to iasii the ras cals naked through the world.

The trail of the Indians that had the child was followed about 150 miles, when there came rain and ex tinguished the trail. • On last Saturday a week, Dr. MoSwecn, while trying to rescue his horse from the Indi ans, about half a mile from his house, was shot by said Indians and seriously wounded. The Indians, four in number, charged on him Two of them, on his own horse, came up with in fifteen "feet of him, when the Doctor tired his rifle at the front Indian, who was protected by_ a shieled held in front by the one ■ f j ho Doctor thinks he killed the front lndian.—- When he fired both fell from the horse. “See ing two others coining upon him in full charge, and within thirty yards of him, the Doctor left the field of action to the Indians; since which event there have been Indians in the settlements all the time. Every night some one is disturbed by them. Captain Whiting, 2d Cavalry, haS come down to Fort Mason on a Scout, and has left ten men for our immediate protection.— The citizens are leaving the frontier fur (he in terior, hud if there is hot some protection given us, we shall all have to-quit and leave soon.” The Governor of Texas has empowered Mr. Perry, of Blanco county, to raise a company of 100 men to protect the lives and property of the people of the counties of Blanco, Bandera, Kerr and Gillespie, from the incursions of Indi ans, who have recently committed many dcpie palions in those counties. Next Governor.—Old Berks lias broke ground on the subject of (lie next Democratic, candidate for Governor. - At 'tbe late Democra- tic County Convention, held at Reading, the following resolution was unanimously adopted: Resolved, That the Democracy of Berks county have a deep interest in the selection of a proper candidate for Governor in 1860 ; and that, m the Hun. Henry D. Foster, of West moreland county', we recognize a gentleman of high character, superior intellectual endow- ments, and large experience in public life, who appears to possess! in an .eminent degree, the requisite, qualifications for the Gubernatorial office. In many distinguished public positions with which the people of Western Pennsylvania have honored him, he lias earned a State repu tation ; and his great popularity, at home at tests those generous and nobje qualities of heart and mind which have made him everywhere a favorite. Believing him to be emphatically the man for the limes, we hereby instruct our del egates, this day appointed to the Democratic State Convention, to present his name to the Democracy of Pennsylvania as our first choice for Governor, and to use al. honorable means to secure his nomination. We consider it a little premature to discuss the subject of next Governor at present, but yet we are free to say that there is no man in the State we could more cheerfully support than Gen. Foster Of Westmoreland. There is not a better man to be found in the State. f Philadelphia! September 8,1859.
