We learn from the Mount Vernon Rec ord that the work of putting Mount Vernon in good condition- has been -fairly begun. Since the first of July, workmen under the superin tendence of a competent gentleman, have been busily engaged in repairing out houses, tracing and cleaning-up the old and almost forgotten paths, and fortifying in somo measure the spot against the ravages of decay. The Record,also states that $15,000 of the fourth and last- instalment for the purchase of Mount Vernon has been already paid to Mr. ■Washington, leaving only about $30,000 to aempiete the purchase.. TUB LEGISLATURE—OUR CANDIDATES. Dr; E. D. Crawford, of Juniata, the Demo cralio capdidato for the Senate in this district, Col. John Power, of Perry, one of our candi: dates for the Itouco of Representatives, and bis colleague oh the ticket, John B. Cntmcu, Esq., of this county, arrived in our town, in their own conveyance, on Tuesday evening, and re mained here over night. During the evening, a great number of our citizens called to pay their respects to them. , Dr. Crawford is a man in the prime of life, and a most entertaining and agreeable gentle man. That ho will bo triumphantly elected, is very generally conceded by friend and foe. In Juniata county, where he was born and raised, he is universally esteemed, and is popular with all classes of people. They feel that in suppor ting him for the Senate, they are but perform ing a duty to one who is deserving and who will never betray them. _ln the remaining counties of the District he will run with the'Slate ticket, and, a? wo said before, be elected by a sweeping majority. Col. Jons Powcit, of Peiiy, candidate far AssomhljCia a most excellent and intelligent man, and won the respect and esteem of all those with whom ho became acquainted during his brief stay in our town. Ho bears the im press of candor and honesty in his face, and wo congratulate our friends in Petry on tfie selec tion they made. Let daughter Perry do her whole duty on the 11th of October, and Col. Power will bo elected from 300 to 700 majority, Our own fellow-citizen, Mr. Cncacu, the other nominee for Assembly, is known to nearly every man in Cumberland, and is deservedly popular in all soofions of our county. Ha is a gentle man of intelligence, and is noted for his indus trious habits and integrity of character. Those who know him best are his warmest friends, and many of his political enemies speak kindly o( him. ■ With Ciiunon and Power in the House, and Dr. Crawford in the Sonuie, tho people of Cumberland county may tool sure that their in terests will be well cared for and protected. Our friends left here'early on Tuesday morn ing on a tour to file most populous paris of our county. They would bo .gratified could the}’, visit and exchange so’ntiments with the people of all tile townships, but as this will be impos sible, our friends must fake flie-will for the act. Tbo election is rapidly approaching, and it be comes tile candidates on the Democratic ticket, as well as (heir friends, to make the most of Iheir time. Then, Democrats of Cumberland Democrats of Perry, Juniata and Mifflin, be up and doing! Remember, tlio result.of tho elec tion this fall will have an important bearing upon tbo contest in 1860, when we have a Pres- ident and Governor to elect. This fact alone, ; if there were no other reasons, should induce every loyal Democrat to buckle oil Ids armor, and determine to make a good light this fail for. the whole Democratic ticket. Up, then, friends of tbo country, the laws and the Constitution!— np, and at tbo enemy, and victors: will be yours. ■ ' Vigilance !—The approach of the general election, and the earnest efforts of the Opposi tion to secure the success of a portion of their ticket, admonishes us of the necessity for active and untiring efforts upon the part of the De i niocracy.. Let every Democrat go to work with l a determination to do something. Stir.up'.the lukewarm, snd impress upon them the impor tance of, this contest—and upon the day of the election see that all the Democratic voters are out. ft is only by.vigilance that we may safe ly rest assured of our triumph, ami we only need this to render it certain and easy. ■ Agricultural Addresses.— John W. For ney, Esq., and Rev. E. W. flutter, will deliver the Addresses before the Lehigh County Agri cultural Society, at their next, annual exhibit ion. Sir. Forney’s address will be in English, and Sir. flutter’s in German. O’ The New Orleans papers stale that the Independent or Houston’Demoerals, have a ma jority of twenty-two on joint ballot in the Texas Legislature recently elected. Houston, daring the recent canvass for Governor, placed himself square in support of Sir. Buchanan’s policy, and by that means succeeded. Sunday Question in Pittsburg.— The Cili, zons’ Passenger Railway Company of Pittsburg ran their cars on Sunday of last week, and as it is their purpose to so continue, a number of cit izens are taking steps to enforce the observance of the law of 1791 as interpreted. by Judge Thompson, which is, that what has a tendency to make others commit a breach of the peace, is itself a broach of the peace.

Deftikg the Laws !—The Black Rcpubli can candidate for Governor in Ohio sayS—“lf I am elected Governor of Ohio—and I expect to be—no fugitive slave shall be sent back to Ken tucky, or any other slave State; if I cannot otherwise protect him Irom his pursuers, Iwill employ .the bayonet, so help me,-God.” O' Mr. Corwin says that ho is the father of the Republican party. We hope that the old gentleman’s next «h<M’will be an improvement. It must be confessed . however, that lie occa sionally spanks his rather ugly brat wiliriight goodwill. ILy” Tho Blair County Convention at its- re cent meeting, passed a resolution recommending Col. John Cresswell as the next candidate for Governor. Rev. Antoinette L.

Democrats, Organize!.Organize I Democrats of Cumberland county!—the time for notion lias arrived. The campaign is open ed, the issue is made, the nominees of the differ-’ ent parlies are before the people, and the'elec tion is but four weeks distant. We call upon you in the name of the great Democratic party, in the name of a true and unaffected patriotism, in the name of (he principles .which you. hold dear, to be ready for the contest. You believe your principles to be correct; you believe the ascendancy of the Democratic party to bo nec essary to the welfare ol your country; and be lieving so, you should devote at least a few days to the advocacy of those principles and .to the interests of that party. Rcinembcr that a great work is before us! Perinsylvania is to be re deemed from the rule of Amalgamationists and Abolitionists. Let us resolove to wipe but the defeat of last Fall, and restore Pennsylvania to the Democratic column. Bo vigilant, there fore; be active. Organize! organize! Give a few days to the service of your party ; call upon your neighbor and urge him to action ; and let no effort be spared to bring out the full Demo cratic vote of the county. The eyes of the De mocracy everywhere are turned to Cumberland county, for during the last few years she has not failed to give a good account of, herself.— Let us show our friends in Other parts of the State, what wc can do when our blood is up 1— 1 Rally! Democrats, rally !. We have at the head of our Ticket for State officers, men of high moral and political integ rity—men who have been tried in high positions of trust, and have not been found wanting.— Our whole ticket is unexceptionable in every re spect. We have every reason to believe that in Oc:6ber next, it will bo Irimnphnntly elected. The signs of the limes indicate this, and the on ly hope of the Opposition is to create dissen sions, divide, and then conquer ns. This should never be permitted, and in Cumberland county we feel assured it never will be. From every quarter of the Old Keystone we have the most cheering news for every true Democrat. At all the .preparatory County meetings, and where tickets have been placed in nomination, the ut most good feeling and harmony have prevailed. Differences of opinion upon past issues are.giy ing away to a united and harmonicas concert of action; Let us, then;, one and all, unite heart and hand in support of.our ticket and’ princi ples, and thus spread the pure principles of De mocracy. until they shall encircle the whole length and breadth of our land. Tub Present Administration'. —It is cer :ain we have never had a National Administra- tion since .the adoption of the Federal Con stitution which has been so completely success ful in the management of our foreign relations as has that of Mr. Buchanan. In this respect it will certainly mark a bright crain our his tory as a nation, and his fellow-citizens will award the meed of approbation and applause to their patriotic President for his wise and suc cessful statesmanship. AI, or nearly all, the difficulties that we have had with foreign na tions He has succeeded in settling amicably, and it would seem, to the entire satisfaction of all the parlies Concerned. . And one of these diffi culties has baffied the. efforts to settle it of every preceding Administration since the days of Mr. Jefferson—wo mean the right of search as claimed by Great Britain, a question of the most disturbing.and vexat/pos character, and which was one of the prime causes of the war of 1,812., ' , lIoN. Charles R. Bcckalew.— The many friends of this distinguished Democrat, will be glad-to learn that hip health is perfectly restore ed. He writes that he has not been sick a day since he sailed from New York, and that he has gained over twenty pounds in weight since his departure. Mr. BuckaleW I’is 1 ’is U. S.

The capitaly.Quito, where he resides, is situated nearly under the Equator, about 10,- 000 feel above the level of the sea, in a beauti . ful valley surrounded, by snow-capped moun tains. The climate is mild, ranging; from 45 to 05 degrees above freezing point, varying but little, and is aptly compared to perpelual spring, vegetation continuing constantly. Such diseases as,fever, ague, billious attacks in any form, or consumption, have never been known there. In fact, few die except from old age, starvation or accident. There is every pros pect that Mr. Buokalew will return a hale, hearty man. ■ Latest from Europe. —We have three days later news from Europe, by the Europa at Hal ifax. The Peace Conferences at Zurich had made somci further progress, and would arrive at a successful conclusion early in September Sardinia refuses to accept, even provisipnally, the annexation of the Dutchies, without con sulting the other powers, particularly France. The Italians still retain a firm attitude for na tional independence. The affairs of the Duch ies are to be treated directly between the Courts of Vienna nnd„Paris. The French and Austri an'plenipotenlmrics have regulated the matter of Lombardy. Tub Swixdt.rr Caught.— The mean wretch who swindled fifteen young ladies out of their baggage and money, under the promise of pro curing for them lucrative situations in the South as teachers of music, &o.; has been ar rcsted-at Washington, and committed to prison to await a requisition from the Governor of New York, lie wad recognized as a fellow named Hiram P. Ceslie, heretofore employed as a laborer in the Patent Office, at Washington, in which city he has a wife and two children. He had swindled extensively in Washington and all through the South. 0“ An insane lady, desiring to commit sui cide, leaped out.of a window in Philadelphia, but lodged upon 1 an awning, broke gently through, and finally alighted on a peacably patrolling policeman, fairly carrying him to tho ground. Ho returned her unharmed to her friends, though he was slightly damaged him self. O” The- Senatorial conferees, representing the counties of Adams, Franklin and Fulton, assembled at Chambersburg on the 2d fnst., and unanimously nominated J. W. Douglas, Esq., of Franklin, as the Democratic candidate for Senator in that District. [£7* The editor of the Now Orleans Bulletin has received the gift of a pumpkin, which weighs-one hundred and sixty pounds, and measures seven feet in circumference. It was raised in,-Texas by Mark NoW». *. NEGRO ENMITY. Our readers are well aware that in some of the States: where Black Republicanism reigns supreme, negroes .enjoy rights and privileges from which jtrhito naturalized citizens are Ex cluded ; but they will bo more surprised when, they read lhol'Rillowing article from the Boston Atlas, the acknowledged organ ,bf the Black Republicans'iif- Massachusetts; edited by Gen. Sohouleri candidate. forJ3lerk of the iicxtHbuso of Representatives, at Wash ington, the editor s'ays: “Is it proved'or even rendered probable that the colored race‘lf Emancipated, could not take care of We say It is .nut, and to assert it as tKe 'Times does, is .simply begging the, whole queatjon. Is it proved, or rendered probable that the Africans cannot live in this country off an equality with whites / WE SAY IT IS NOT, and that no man who asserts it has'ever yet-demonstrated the truth of his as sertion by any conclusive reasoning. “It‘is 'not at all pertinent to instance the condition of the black man as 8 condition to permit the testing of the question. Because Wisconsin is mean and narrow-minded enough to refuse to allottl a nigro, however intelligent, to vote, it by no means proves that the negro docs not dcservei the privilege, nor, because Wisconsin, at the same time, permits A RAW IRISHMAN AND AN IGNORANT DUTCH MAN to vote, when he neither knows his own polilics nor that of'his candidate.: docs it prove that Wisconsin is cither in making this arbitrary discrimination ? Xct us be'just and sensible, as well os critical and patriotic, Hr.-Doolittle. The only fair test of the capac ity and disposition of the black man to dwell. SIDE BY SIDE. ON TERMS OF EQUALITY WITH THE WHITE, is to take him where he does enjoy that Equality. Unfortunately, there is no place where this is the.caso to thefull ex tent, for prejudice does much, even in the most favored localities; to oppress the colored man. “But suppose ,»&take the free colored men of Massachusetts, where they are respected and treated as citizeps, and what is the result ? Why, we venture the assertion, without fear of successful contradiction, that you may take the five thousand -negroes as they come, and a thou sand Irishmen in the same way, and you will find the negroes surpass the'lrishmen of Boston in intelltgence, morality and industry , and good citizenship, they are more thrifty, more order ly, and every way superior ; it is the same in the city of Philadelphia, as facts will abundant ly prove. Now : what right have .'we to say, with such a preliminary lesson, that, the black man could not prove himself worthy of freedom and citizenship;?“ It will bo observed that this Black Republi can organ speaks'of the State of Wisconsin as *“mean and narrow minded,’’ because she refus es negroes the right to vote. Reasoning from the same premises, Pennsylvania must bo mean and narrow-minded, because, like Wisconsin, she negro the right of suffrage. Will decent white people, says the Bedford Gazette, beardhts Black Republican insult on resen ted ?.' We ask the question—tec put it to the self -respecting and intelligent men who have hitherto voted the Black Republican ticket —can any white maid, who believes himself better, than a negro, east his vote, in future, with a party that maintains that a negro is ns good as he ? Are party ties so strong that Ihey will bind him even to a greasy Ethiopian ? Let the ballot box reply. . .On the appearance of the article above quoted, the Cincinnati Enquirer, a Democratic paper, took occasion to snake some strictures upon the positions taken therein, whereupon the Black Republican Mias replied: , “If you will come,hero we will show you, any day, out - colored fellow-citizen: riding in the cars on the srj.me seal with the aurisiocrat of Beacon street'..4ffii,,Chester Square /and neither the negro tidtr. -white man appears in- the 1 least disturbed or. harmed by the' proximity. And as for political franchises, we will just in form our friend that, in Massachusetts, a blade tni \an's vote is just as good and counts as much as Mr. JVinthrdp's or Everett’s,, and that there are now no political disabilities' imposed upon any man bn account of the cojorof his skin.” Such are the practical' results of Black Re publicanism, boasted of and heralded forth by an accredited leading Black Republican organ. And these' results arc. attributable to the fact that the Slack Republican parly wants negro votes for its candidates, as they “count as much as Mr.- Winihrop's or Edward Everett’s." The true aim of Black Republicanism is the, public plunder, and hcnce its efforts to give the black man the right to vote. Sneeessor to Mr, Crittenden. The Kentucky'says:— Not tlio least grat ifying result of the recent election of this State is the fact that John' if, Crittenden will bo 1 suc ceeded id tho Omted'Statos Senate by a Demo crat. Already several journals, in various por- tions oftho.Gpmmon.wealth, have presented the names and claims, of distinguished gentlemen, any one of whom will fill tho exalted position with honor and dignity. We, too, have our preference, and in presenting our choice, wo do not protend to detract one iota from the preten sions of other gentlemen, whose names have been mentioned in this connection’.,; For the first time inn period of thirty years Kentucky’s voice in the United States Senate will be Democratic. Tho Legislature that con venes at Frankfort in December next, will elect the successor of Mr. Crittenden. To that Leg- islature we present the name of John C. Breck inridge; One of the most graceful, eloquent, and convincing orators,Kentucky has ever produo ed; beyond all question the brightest star in the political firmament; a gentleman of strict mo rality ; tho very pink of chivalry and soul of honor, he would take the lead in the Senate, and once more Kentucky would occupy the proud position of haviilg furnished tho most accom plished gentleman, the greatest statesman, and the most eloquent orator to the National Coun cil of the people. ; Tt is hot our purpose, at this time, to detail the claims of Mr. Breckinridge upon tho Democracy of Kentucky. That is a “labor of love” which we will reserve until an other time. We simply desire to put his name before the people as one worthy to be trusted and Honored By them. - - The Secretary op'State. —The Washing ton Stales thus describes Qcn. Gass : “As we were passing along under the shady archway of green brnnehes eaatward of Lafayette square, the other evening, we met the venerable chief of the State Department, walking ns briskly and erectly as a young soldier, just crowned'with victory. He was dressed in a. loose summer suit, apd looked so blithe and’ happy that we could not forego" in his promen ade, and telling him ( )iow hale and hearty he was. As, ugual, be was most pleasant. Gen'. Cass is always so. We know no mhn so ur bnneipjhis'departmentor so-ready in speech. He. really appears, when in animated conversa sioin as-4 well-preserved man of fifty, although he has seen threescore and ten years.” It?" Major John Biddle, a brother to the late Nicholas Biddle, dliyl suddenly of apoplexy at the White Sulphar 'Springs, Virginia', on'-the 38th nltino.- * ' One Vote. Tho importance of one voto Is rarely made more manifest than it was in tho recent elec tions in Kentucky and Tennessee. One oppo sition candidate iOr Congress, in the former State, was.elected by three votes, and in anoth er district the vote was a tie. Ih tho. latter Stale one opposition candidate for Congress.was elected by eight rotes, another .by twenty-six, and another by fifty. In all these cases there wore doubtless Democrats enough remained at home to have turned tho scale in favor of the Democratic nominees, had they gone to tho election;,and deposited, their , ballots, as it was their duty to have done. Wo hope that Demo crats will bear these instances in mind,.this ialh in this county and State, and not uiider-csliraato tho importance of one vote .in determining the result of the election. Mvsteiuous Affair —A Gambler Charged with Morber. —The Harrisburg Telegraph of Saturday, contains the following article. — The negro girl spoken of has been confined in our jail for dome time, and is a poor worthless creature, who is noted as a great liar. We doubt not the whole story about a man having been murdered, is of her own making: .Our readers will recollect an announcement made in the Telegraph several .days ago, that a man named Gruver, formerly of this place, at tempted to cut his throat in Carlisle, and was taken to prison where his wounds were dressed." During his confinement in that instilutioq, a colored female prisoner, who answers to the name of Bella Clark, made some revelations to him in regard to a murder which she alleged to have been committed in - tho vicinity of Hams burg, about eighteen months ago. Gruver came to Harrisburg and told the story to sev eral citizens of our town, who at first made light of the matter, but the man repeatedly re iterated tho story, and insisting upon its truth, a gentleman of our town was despatched to Carlisle, and had an interview With tho girl, who made and swore to tho following statement, in presence of the judge and Sheriff of Cumber land county. About eighteen months ago, she was employed as servant in the house of a Mrs. Black, residing in the vicinity of Harrisburg, near the Rolling Mill. One night two gamblers —one of them well known in sporting circles here and in Philadelphia—came to the, house, accompanied by a stranger, for the purpose of gambling for money. Before commencing, the stranger took out a largo knife and laid it on the table. During tho progress of the game, an altercation occurred between the parlies, the stranger jumping up and seizing his knife, evi dently with the intention of using it, when ortc of the gamblers drew a pistol and fired at the stranger, the ball taking effect in the head and killing him instantly. There Was a large amount of money On the table at tho lime.— The dead body of the stranger was then taken to the rear of the lot, arid buried. She also sta - ted that a daughter of Mrs Black, now living at Treverton, was.an eye-witness of the whole affair. The girl having witnessed the transac tion, was threatened with death. 1 hut Shu im plored the gniriiblers to save her life, promising never to reveal what site had witnessed. Hav ing taken tin oath to that effect, she was fur nished with money to leave town.'dud went to Carlisle, where she lias resided ever since. The gambler who fired the’ pistol she knew—the name of the other she docs not ivcol'ccti This statement having been sworn to by the girl, she was brought to Harrisburg .yesterday after; noon, in custody of the Sheriff of Cumberland county, arid taken before Justice Bender, where she made the same statement, under oath, when the District Attorney ordered a warrant to be' issued for the'individual implicated, and tele graphed to thb Mayor of Philadelphia to have him arrcslcd, which was done last, evening.— After the examination of the girl here, she was confronted with Mrs. Black, who acknowledged that she had lived in the family.' and the nice ting between the parties -seemed to be pleasant rather than 'Otherwise.- The girl reiterated her statement fo Mrs.-B'nrk, ■•in the latter denied all knowledge of the aff.ur. Volunteering to designate the spot where the stranger had been buried, she was accompanied to,,the garden of Mrs. Black, by several persons, who, after dig ging to the depth of two or three feet, failed to find any human remains. The. digging was resumed this morning with the same result. —■ We give the plain statement of the girl as sworn to here and at Carlisle, without ‘comment, dis carding the various rumors afloat,,which, we are inclined to believe, are withont.any founda tion.in truth—or if true, greatly Exaggerated. Since writing the above, we learn that the in dividual implicated, is Win.

The District Attorney has subpoenmd and sent for witnesses, and a hearing of the case will take 1 place before Judge Pearson on Monday next. CC7* Qeh.

The chair was jerked backwards, and caught between two spokes of the driving wheel.

Senator Douglas; in his late speech at Colum bus, used the following blunt find forcible lan gauge* lie said i ■ . •‘When I travel, and stop and spend a day with you, as on this occasion,, if I dj> not Ilk? your laws, I hope I will have the good sense to. keep it to myself and mind my own busmess [laughter and applause] —and if you should find any citizen of Illinois coming here, into Ohio,' and telling you that your laws do not suit him, all you have to do is to , tell him that you did not make them for him —[great laughter] that ypu made them for yourselves, and they suit you and if he docs not like them, he can con tinue to live on the other side of the Wabash, So it should ’ bo everywhere throughout the country, ff old Virginia, who gave you the land where you now live, and where that mag nificent temple of liberty has been erected, (pointing to the State' Capitol) and who you ought to respect, should send her citizens hire to tell you that she does not likeyour laws, an swer that your veneration, cannot protect her in her impudence in interfering with your rights of self government. [Applause.] If you go over to Virginia, to steal her negroes, I trust she wilt catch you ami put you in jail with other thieves. [Laughter and applause.] If you do not like the old Virginia laws, stay on this side of the Ohio river, and mind your own business. If this principle is observed, there will be peace and harmony among the different States of the Union.” /• . The Pulpit and the , Masses. —The .Mew Tork Christian./nfcf/igcaccr asks it the pulpit ot this day roaches the masses of people, and fears it does not. Wo quote : Upon luxurious couches, surrounded hygild ing and carvery, on a pleasant Sunday, when not too hot or cold, too wot or dry, a. gaily dressed multitude listen sleepily, first to soft music behind therii and then to the musical voice before them ; and when the hour-and-n-hnlf is spent, the rustling silks move out to the sound cf the organ,and the pulpit remains a cold, tin-- meaningpieco of mummery. Outside, the mul titude ruslrby unheeding and unheeded. There is no pulpit for them. .Vico and misery, in ten thousand forms, are rioting, and stilling, and destroying; cruelly,and oppression are rampant amidst our churches, and the groans of the vie. thus mingle with tlio church bell's, Does the pulpit reach the, masses 1 That is something tor ns to'answer ns Christians. For. if it does not file masses will reach and overturn the pul pit. ■ ' ; Elections, in Kansas. —The election harvest in Kansas tills fall will be made up of the fol lowing crops of votes; 1.
