Standing Committee.
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. •

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.”

ment. -Ifeach indmdnaj will conffibutea trifle,a

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.

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.

Indian Tboudi.es on tub Texan Fiiontieb.
—The San Antonia Herald publishes the fol
lowing letter from Mason county:
•‘ The Indians are constantly committing
depredations on our border. About two weeks
ago. there was stolen from this neighborhood
nearly all'the horses in it, besides taking off
one of our neighbor’s sons. Mr. Hobster's 9
years old, who has not. been heard from since.
Who can imagine the feelings of that parent
whose child is taken off by the Indians ? Mr.
Hobstcr is almost insane about him. 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.
