. There is a versatality manifest in,the attraction
announced by Dan Rice which forms a decided
contrast to the sameness which usually charao--
terizes similar exhibitions. Dan Dice is deci
dedly a man of originality, for certainly no one
but him would ever have conceived the idea of
taming that bugo monster, the Rhinoceros, to
perform in the ring, or of learning the elephant
to dance the’tight rope, or of educating that
proverbially, stupid animal, the Mule. The
bills and advertisements fully set forth the
particulars of the entertainments to be given.
It should be borne in mind' that this is the (are

humorist is- universally known. Having ai

WILFUJi MISREPRESENTATION.
The Carlisle Herald must either Consider its
readers very easily humbugged,.or, it is vel'y
fond of dealing in wilful misrepresentation—one
or the other. Its issue of last week contained
an article exorting its scattered forces to rally
to the support of its County ticket —a ticket
that had boon selected and agreed upon by .two
or three wire-pullers in Carlisle long before the
meeting of the Republican County Convention'
In speaking of the candidates composing his
ticket, the editor has the effrontery to make
these remarks
“ They, (the Republican candidates.) are op
posed (o the democratic policy of free trade,
which would sap the very foundation of Amer
ican enterprise and industry, and make us de
pendent on the pauper labor of Europe.
They are opposed to the democratic doctrine
of admitting goods free of duty, and forcing the
people to pay the expenses of the Government
by direct taxation.
They are opposed to the democratic doctrine
that the Constitution of the United States, car-
ries slavery with it into the Territories, and that
therefore, " Kansas is as much a slave State as
Georgia or South Carolina.”,
They are opposed to the democratic doctrine,
that a naturalized citizen cannot claim the pro
tection of our flag beyond the boundary of the
United States, but owes military service to the
country of his birth, if found within Her limits.
They are opposed to the democratic policy of
conciliating the South, by forcing a State Con-,
stitntion on the people of a Territory, when
they had previously repudiated it by a majority
of thousands, and
They are opposed to the democratic system
of making the Government a wet-nurse for po
litical cripples, by providing fat contracts for
favorites, whenever they are defeated for Office.
These are all Democratic measures, receiving
the cordial support of the party. The candi
dates who were placed in nomination, by the
democratic county Convention, have to swear
by this- party creed-. '
, There are seven- paragraphs in the above ex
tract, and we pronounce them, one and all, ut
terly untrue from beginning to end. There is
notan intelligent reading man in Cumberland
county, who, if answering under oath, would
not pronounce every one of the above assertions
false in every essential particular.
It is not true, and the editor of the Herald
knows it, that ’“ free trade” is;Democratic doc-
trine. Every tariff act that has been in opera
tion passed Congress through the agency of the
Democratic party. The Democratic County
Convention!which assembled in this place on
the Bth ult., unanimously adopted the following
resolutions: r>'
. Resolved, That We regard 1 a- revision of the
existing Tariff, which originated'in; and Was
passed by an Opposition House of Representa
tives, in 1857, as imperatively demanded by
the wants of the National Treasury, and the
sußering industrial interests of the whole coun
try ;.and that in the adjustment of the revenue
laws, it is both the right and duty of Congress
to make such discriminations as will insure the
collection of a sufficient amount of revenue to
defray the expense of an economical administra
tion of the Government, avoid the necessity of
a resort to loans or direct taxation,.and at the
same time afford a reasonable and just protec
tion to the American laborer and manufacturer
against unequal foreign competition.
Resolved,' That the recommendations of the
President of'tho United States, in his last annu
al message to Congress; in favor of an increase
of the revenue through a modification of the
Tariff, and'of the substitution of specific for ad
i valorem duties upondron andother articles usu
’ ally sold by weight or measure, and which,from
their nature, are equal, or of nearly equal value,
were eminently timely and judicious, and we
" refer to them here with conscious pride, as plcdg
■■|i?v&^siellH^anon place in "the affic-
I tions of a Pennsylvania President.
It is not true, and the editor knows it, that
itho Democratic party contends for the “ doc
trine that the Constitution of the United States
carncs, slavery with it into the
The most that even Southern'men contend for
and assert is—-that a Territorial Government is
merely provisional and temporary, arid cannot,
therefore; confiscate' private property, (slaves,
for instance); that the right tri abolish or estab
lish slavery id ■ a Territory is - not granted by
the Constitution—-that the Constitution neither
frees the slave nor enslaves the freeman, found
in a Territory. This doctrine; We repeat, is all
that even the extreme South contends for; Is
the doctrine cither arbitrary or unfair ?'
■ It is not true, and tSWcditor knows it, that
Democrats hold to the doctrine" that a natu
ralized citizen cannot claim the protection of
our flag beyond the boundaries of the United
States.” The whole policy of the administi a'-
tion on this subject is just tho reverse, and it
was only last week that the Stale Department
at Washington received information from Mr.
Wright, American Minister at Berlin, that
Christian Ernst, an American naturalized citi
zen, who had been compelled by force to enter
tho Hanoverian army, bad been, upon tho re
monstrance of our Government, discharged from
the service, 'fhe Democratic party has always
protected our naturalized fellow-citizens, both
at home and abroad —protected them when our
neighbor of the Herald and his Know-Nothing
dan were waging upon them war to the knife
and the knife to the hilt. It comes with an
exceeding bad grace from the despised disciples
of Nan Buntline —those men whose hands are
yet red with the blood of. naturalized citizens—
to talk about their “ protection” at this late
day.
It is not true, and.the editor knows it, that
Democrats are in favor of “conciliating the
South, by forcing a State Constitution on the
people of a Territory that they had repudiated.”
The Democratic doctrine is that the people of a
Territory shall' form just such Constitution as
they please.
It is noflrue, and the editor knows it, that
Democrats are in favor “ of making the Govern
ment a wet-nurse for political cripples, by pro
viding fat contracts for favorites whenever they
are defeated for office.” Some men, no doubt,
who have been “ defeated for office" have re
ceived appointments under the Government, but
yet this fact don’t make it “ democratic poli
ty.” It would be hard, indeed, and unfair, if.
because a man has been for office,”
he-must forever after he proscribed. Had this
doctrine been applied, Henrt Clat would not
have been a United Stales Senator at the. time
of his death. We know of no- •* cripples” in
the Democratic party. Whehevcr a-Democrat
becomes a “ political cripple” ho has a bad
smell about him, and-we push him straight in
to the ranks of the Black Republicans.-
We hove thus answered our neighbor’s wilful
and deliberate misrepresentations, If he can
find no belter way to-boldlerup {£s ticket than
by resorting to this kind of writing, he had bet
ter yield the contest at once, for- he is hoping
against hope.

this county wife members of the Know-Noth
ing organization a year or since, and every,
one of whom, before joining, toOk the.following'
solemn OATH:
“In tho presence Of Almighty God and thisi
Witnesses, your right hand resting on this HO
LY BIBLE and CROSS, and your left hand
raised towards heaven, in token of .your sin

that you will not VOTE nor give your influ
ence for any man for ANY OFFICE in the gift
of the people, unless he be an AMERICAN
BQRN citizen in favor of AMERICANS BORN
ruling America, nor if ho be a ROMAN CATH
OLIC,” &0., &c.
We now ask the men who took the.above
OATH whether' they can reconcile it to their
conscience to vote for John M'Cubdv, one; of
the Republican candidates for Assembly ? Mr.
M'Cl'rdy is a foreigner, an Irishman by birth,
and if there are any who believed that the op
position were sincere two years ago, when they
made war upon foreigners, he is not entitled to
their votes. Can they, after having called upon
their God to witness their OATH—can they
now vote for a foreigner? Mr. M'Conpr is a
respectable man, we admit,,but unfortunately
for him he is.an Irishman, and his party, “in
tho presence of Almighty God,” with then
“right hand resting on the Holy Bible,” have
taken an OATH that they will not vole for him
or any other foreigner! Wo will see whether
they are willing do violate their solemn oath.
Keep it before the people,
That the Black Republican Congress, elected,in
1854 5, of which N. P. Banks, of Massachu
setts was Speaker, passed the infamous “Dunn
Bill,” for the admission of Kansas as a S,atc
into the provisions of which estab
lished slavery therein until 1800.
Keep it before the people.
That although the Black Republicans denounce
the Fugitive Slave Law, yet, when, .they had a
majority in Congress in 1854 s', they did not
repeal it, blit wasted time and squandered the
people’s money, in concocting schemes to rob
the National Treasury.
Keep it before the people,
That although the Black Republicans talk
largely of Reform in National and State affairs,
yet they elected Cullum. of Tennessee, a slave
holder, Clcik of the United States .House of
Representatives, and while occupping that po
sition he stole thousands of dollars from Uncle
Sam. , .
Keep it before the' people,
That the Black Rtpublicans plcdged themselves
to restore the Missouri Compromise, and yet,
when they had a majority in* Congress, they
did not so much as make an attempt to'restore
that “time-honored restriction.” _
: Keep it before the peopfe',

ever been a parly of promises, making great
pretensions, but never performing anything ex

issaries arc riding the county, under other os
tensible business, but in fact tp influence the
vote wherever they can. No doubt hundreds
have been called upon by some one. Let the
people spurn them— let them show that they
have their own, judgment, and as such will ex
ercise,it. The people. of Cumberland county
are not so ignorant that this base trick will in
fluence them. If the Democratic candidates
have not the means to employ men to ponder for
them, we all know that they are men of stern
and strict integrity, and as such need no such
outside influence. We again repeat, let the
honest and well thinking Democrat spurn them
from his door. Let their slanders fall trom
them unheeded as to its effects—but let them
see that Democrats know their duty, and know
ing it, dare and will maintain it.

show the feeling existing in the District, we
publish tho following extracts:
From the Perry County Democrat.
The Democratic Nominees.
As regards the DemDbratio nominees fof Sen
otor and Assembly, their prospects arc equally
flattening. Tho Democracy of every county in
the District are as confident of victory as wo of
Perry. Under the mistaken belief llfat a cold
ness still existed 'between the Democrats of
Cumberland and this county, growing out of
the late Congressional difficulties, the opposi
tion nominated a Cufaberland man for Senator.
This they supposed would proven “ten strike.”
But ojd Mother Cumberland's Democracy are
no more disposed to favor Black Republican
ism, or to cherish a feeling which can result on
ly to the advantage of our opponents, than is
her daughter Perry ; ■ and that which was re
garded as a very bold and masterly stroke of
policy by tho Opposition Senatorial Conference
will prove Dead Sea fruit on the second Tuesday
of October. We-in Perry know, and Demo
crats of Cumberland know, that
“When envy breeds unkind division,
Then comes the ruin.” .
Besides, the Democratic parly has a name and
a creed to sustain—a glorious mission assigned
it, and it is not to be disorganized or torn into
fragments for any light or transient cause. The
lessons of the past are not to be disregarded.
Bygones are. bygones. All our candidates are
good men and good Democrats, fairly, honestly
and honorably nominated, and none other than
an enemy of the party and its principles will
■strike a single name on the ticket.
Notwithstanding all these indications, how
ever, of a glorious triumph, tho Democracy of
Perry and the District have a work to do. The
eagles of victory perch only on the standards of
those who strike for victory. Remember, that
but little more than two weeks remain in which
to work. Bright as arc the skies, every roan
should do his duty.
■ From' the Tewisiown True Democrat, '
’ Dr. E. D. Crawford.
The nomination of this gentleman for the Sen
ate has been cordially endorsed by all the pa
pers in the district as lor as we have observed.
Dr. Crawford is a gentleman of ability, and his
political course has been represented to us as
