THE CODNTf TICKET. , ’ TVith one exception, the ticket nominated on Monday by the Democratic County Conven tion, is composed of excellent and l deserving men and good Democrats. The exception, it is needless to say, is the candidate for County Commissioner. This nomination, considering the manner in which it was brought about, trill bo repudiated by an immense majority of indignant Democrats., The crowded state of our'columns prevents ns saying more in re gard to the ticket this week. , In our next we shall speak of it more at length. S&'We would' call the attenfon of tl e public to" the sale of the Personal estate of Alexander M’Dowell, dee’d. We under-' stand-that the stock is of the very best quali ty, that the mules are young, and as well trained as any in' the county. The stock of firming implements is very large, and in ex cellent order. Farmers wanting good imple ments and stock, should attend by all weans. Sale on Wednesday, August 22. Census-Returns.— The census for the town ships of- Silver Spring, Hampden and East PCnnsborough, was taken by Mr. J. B; Lei diq, who has already made his Return to the Marshal. A, great number of returns made, in consequence of gross errors, were sent back to the Deputy Marshals for correction, but Mr. Leidio’s return was . pronounced ** per fect,” and was considered one of the moat -complete that had been made. From this re turn we copy as follows: ; Silver Spring Township.—The population numbers 2306; the deaths of the past year, 27; number of farms, 193; valuation of real and personal estate, $1,500,400. The schools number 12; teachers, 12; sholars, 540 j churoh cs„B.'i J£ ASn ’ I)Efr Township.— The population is 1230; deaths of the year, 13 ; farms, 88; value of real and personal, estate, $743,720. The schools number 5; teachers, 5; scholars, 210; churches, 1. . East Pennsborough Township.—Popula tion, 1885 deaths of the year, 34; number of farms, 94; value of real and personal estate, $555,766; number of schools, 8; teachers, 9; ■scholars, 312; churches, 5; Buttermilk eor Botts. — A correspondent ■who believes that many valuable horses are lost every year through the agency of the gad fly, or horse botts, sends us a prescription which he regards as a sure remedy. It is this: Take buttermilk fresh from the churn, and give it often and freely to the diseased, stock. My informant is a large stock grower, and thinks he has saved some of his most val uable animals by this means alone. Missouri Election. ■ „ ■, Sr. Louis, August 12. . _ The Republican says that John B. Hen derson, Dem. for Congress, in the Second Dis trict, is defeated by James A. Rollins; Odd. by 249 votes. . r . Clairborne. F. Jackson, Douglas Democrat, so far as heard from, leads Sample Orr, Union, for Governor, by 6,290. The Recent Elections. —The election in North Carolina resulted in the election oif thecaadidate for. Governor, and a majority of the Legislature. In Arkansas the Democrats also carried their ticket by a large majority. , In Kentucky, Gen. Coombs, the opposition candidate for Clerk of Appeals, is elected by a large majority. Party linos were not closely drawn, as the office is one of’but little import tanco politically, and Mr. C., being an old soldier and -poor, had the sympathy of Uni people, generally of all.parties, and was there-1 fore elected. In Missouri, full returns ore not yot In, but it is believed that the regular Democratic Go vernor and other State officers are elected. Xh tho St. Louis district, Barrett (Dem.) is elected .to Congress, for'the short term, and Blair (Rep.) for the long term. Texas not ,yet hoard from, but no doubt largely Democratic. . -Titles of the Prince op Wales.— Albert Edward, the eldest son of Queen Victoria, wes born November 9,1841,' and consequently woe eighteen years old lost November. . As a Prince'of England, Scotland, Ireland, and Germany, he has, by birth and by letters of patent, the following titles:—Prince of Wales, by patent 1841, English; Duke of- Cornwall, by birth,, do.; Earl of Chester, by patent, Scotch Groat Stewart ofScotland, by patent,' Scotch; Duke, of Rothsay, by • birth, do.; Baron of Garrick, by birth, do.; Lord of the Isles, by birth, do.; Earl of Dublin, by patent;, 1849, Irish; Prince of Coburg and Goths, Ger mhb. Or Illinois. the State are united on the basis adopted at Cresson, and from all parts of this and Perry and Fnnklin counties, we hear of hearty ac quiescence and support. Wo also believe that all the conservative men of the State will pre fer our electoral ticket on this basis, to that of the opposition, pledged to the fortunes and principles, of revolutionary Lincoln. Of coune, there are some men, under the guise of Democracy, whowere determined before the meeting of the Charleston Convention, to abide by nothing that was done, and to frown down all attempts at conciliation. To this despica- j ble crew of political mendicants,-who still ob ieot, and who are in the pay of the Blaok-Re puhlican or People’s party; we can tender the ®° f I?*' 08 and contempt." Like poor Hickman they will soon make a public con fession of What they have long been privately loving- they wiU sink thiS 1 ty embrace of Black-Republicanism. Their occupation is gone. They h 0 longer have the power to distract us. A word to the editors of Black Republican papers and leaders of that party; You have been devoting your columns and labors to the distraction o£'the Democracy, and forfeiting THE STATE BXECBTIfE COMMITTEE AT v- CBESSOS. , . Oa Thursday last, the Democratic State Ex ecutive Committee met at to consider the state of the partjr, receive the anawefSof the Electors to the pledge accompanying the resolutions passed at Philadelphia, on the 2d of July, and do Whatever else was necessary,' to present a united front , against the princi ples and candidates of the Black Republican or People’s party: The proceedings are,set forth in another column of our paper. The meeting was the largest thus far hold, and was characterized by an earnest desire to consoli date- the whole power of the Democracy on tho Electoral ticket nominated'at Rending. Al though a large majority of the Committee*wore favorable' to the action of. July 2d, yet they [wore not disposed to interpose their prefer ences against any other, reasonable, tangible, harmonizing, Democratic action. Hence, when Mr. Fulton, of Armstrong county, a staunch friend of Judge Douglas, backed by Mr, Johnson, of Cambria, another- unwaver ing supporter of the “ little Giant,” offered the proposition and accepted the amendment of Mr. Catuiioan, of Philadelphia, (which makes up the basis of action for,the November elec- ( tion,) it was received with immense applause, which indicated that the true solution of ohr difficulties had been' reached.. Presented by! Mr. Fulton, as on “ olive branch.” it was re- J ceived in that spirit, and after a.full, free and able interchange of opinion, it was adopted by a very large majority. Those voting against it did so to preserve their consistency, .while they were free to say that it was the onjy ap proach that had been made toward united ac tion. The’ Patriot and'Vhion.of Harrisburg, sums dp, thus clearly, the recent action.of the Committee: ” The resolution, adopted by the Committee proposes that the electoral ticket formed by the .Reading Convention-shall be voted .for by De mocrats, and all those with Democratic sympa thies opposed to the election of the Republican candidates; .that for the purpose of ascertain ing which of the candidates for President is the preference of a majority of the voters of the"Stnte. one of the electors at. large shall bo dropped from the ticket, and in his .place tho name of Douglas or Breckinridge substituted, according to the Wish of the voter, and.the can didate receiving the greatest number of votes shall, in the event of the success of the ticket, receive the electoral vote of the State. If Sir. Douglas has more votes than. Mr. Breckin ridge, then he is to get the electoral vote; and if, on the other band, the majority turns out to be for Mr. Breckinridge, then the vote of the State is to be-castfor him 1 . This arrange ment involves the certain loss of the one elec tor dropped for the purpose of ascertaining the will of. the majority, but this is a small mat ter if it secure* the’ election of the'remaining [ twenty-six, and the consequent defeat of Lin colpj ■ The- plan proposed is a recognition of the principle upon which our free government is based—that the will of the maiority shall govern. No advantage 'can be taken by the friends of.either candidate, because there is, no room for fraud or. that kind of management which gives the victory'to the naost experi enced, the most cunning, or the most unscru pulous political captains.- Conventions elec ted to represent tho wishes of a party may be governed by the minority of tho people; but this plan p'roposes.a fair field and an open con test to settle who is really entitled to the elec toral vote of Pennsylvania. If Mr. Douglas is the choice of tho people, h's friends have no thing to fear in submitting his claim's to a di rect vote; and if ho is not, it is unfair to ask that he should receive it. If Mr. Breckin ridge is in a minority it is clearly the duty .ot his friends to yield, their preference,,and bow. to the voice of the majority clearly ejfprosaed at the polls; but if his supporters are in a ma jority, they ask, and.under.this compromise will receive, whafhelongs of rightto the ma jority. So far the resolution is beasod upon sound Democratic principles which recognize thq voice of the majority as omnipotent. Tbe resolution further provides, that in case the electoral vote of the State would not elec! the choice ofthe majority, and would elect some, other Democrat President, and thereby, defeat Lincoln, the electoral vote shall be cast for such, candidate. This-portion of the reso lution. wo presume, was adopted in.anticipa tion of a contingency like this: Suppose that the Democratic electors should be chosen, and n majority of voters declare in favor of Breck inridge;—suppose, at the same time, that it should appear that Douglas could ho chosen President by the help of Pennsylvania, and Breckinridge could not; in that event the elec tors would be obliged to vote for Mr. Douglas rather than throw away the vote of the State upon'Mr. Breckinridge, who could not be elec ted by it. This is a hypothetical case illus trative of the possible result of tho second branch of the resolution. Of course it might so happen that it would work to the advantage i f Mr. Breekii r dge, an 1 it is a p ior rule that wont work both' wayv Tried by this stand ard the rule under consideration ought to be a very good one. But as the supporters of Mr. Douglas are very sanguine that he will sweep every Northern State claimed for the Democ racy. and quite a number of Southern States, they cannot have any apprehensions that tho rule may work against them.” Democrats of Cumberland!—Democrats of Pennsylvania!—conservative citizens of the old Keystone 1 you now have the power to smite to tho dust the infamous.designs of the Black Republican or People’s party. ‘The ba sis of action adopted at (Treason, leaves no room for carping, doubting, or hesitation. The line is now fairly drawn between those who love their country and its constitution, and those who would sacrifice both to the everlasting nigger crusade. The opportunity is offered for a choice between a national and a section al candidate; —between law, order, and equali ty, and a higher law, revolution and rank in justice ; between a Democratic Douola's or a Democratic Bbeckinridoe, and tho Black Re publican or People’s candidate, “ old Abe Lin coln.” Wo believe that the Democracy of your own unsafe conditio)*/' Look now to the rotten timbers in your piyn toppling platform!

Make" way for .a united [and- consequently triumphant" Democracy— . " old Keystone" once mobs rings with the clang of Democratic, arms, and the march of the,Democratic hpsts. Prom the Delaware to. the Alleghenies, and adown the western slope of the shores of Lake Erie, there arises the hum of Democratic preparation for the great ost contest in our history I ' , ■ . ■ the DESIGNS OF SECTIONAL BLACK BEPIlfi: UCANISAI. , Long- John "Wentworth,- the,Lieutenant- Colonel of “Old Abe Li ncoln,’’ has followed up the doctrines of the Republican party, the idea|J)f the “llelpbb Book,” and. its neces* sary consequence, the; thieving, murdering raid of “old John Brown,”, with two : divring and inflammatory manifestoes. : We .alluded to them in our issue of last week. They ap peared in. his -paper,.the - Chicago Democrat, of July 27. Since the'attention of the poOple has been turned to these/‘brutal, and bloody” fulminations, the Black Republican and People’s party,, (which are the same thing*)' have, in various ways, denied that “Long- John” spoke by authority, and refuse to ac cept the responsibilities that these barbarous decrees entail.. But what does all this avail 1 It,is useless to deny, the authority, and cow ardly to refuse' the-responsibility. All ra : tional men know that their, principles are | revolutionary, and subversive of law, order, and equality ;■ slid in repudiating the sayings of their oracle in the great west, they repudi ate the party at whose head he stahds, and “Old Abe Lincoln,” whom he succeeded in nominating. Of late, whenever the ulterior, desperate designs of their party are made known by. some of their devotees more impo itio but,mire honest than the rest, or are ; lastrated in the barbarous doings of their fol lowers,; they at once decry the devotee and his acts, v Hence, they denied' the fellowship of “Helper,” and repudiated his ideas, although ho and bis infamous book were endorsed in /orin. by nearly all the leaders of the People’s or Black Republictin party, .and in substance j by nearly all, tho adherents,, of the same.' When John, Brown and his desperate out laws,-spurning all .divine-and human com mandments, arid looking only to the brutal consummation of Black Republican' princi-' pies, endeavored to,bathe in the blood of a servile insurrection 4he soil consecrated by the. ashes of Washington, they denied Sts'fellow ship, and repudiated his. acts. When. ChaV. Sumner, a Black Republican Senator from Massachusetts, speaking for theßlaokßepub licari parly, defiled the Senate chamber,’.by the utterance .of a harangue ’Whose Coricentrar. ted malice and infamous falsehoods aatouißhed ■non and ■ devils,” arid subsequently, inflow York city, at the request of the “Young glen’s Republican Club,” reashed the same pois onous, satanio production, the People’s or Black Republican party cut loose from his fanaticism, denied his fellowship, arid repudi ated his teachings 1 They do not seem 'to awaken to the-true resultsbf their revolution, ary and subversive principles until they find an honest exposition in the inflammatory' Helper, the crusading, John Brown, or the diabolical Sumner. But, we fancy, they can not successfully deny the genuine Black Re publicanism of “Long John Wentworth," | his able support of their party and its princi ples,; and his close alliance with the nomina tion, hopes and success of “Old Abe Lincoln." All.this ho has shown, accompanied by a de votion that entitles him to be considered the leader of the Black Republican party in the North-West. There is only one in all . that region who overtops him in devotion to the same “brutal and bloody” ideas, and he is .“Old Abe Lincoln." The one is master, the other overseer of the black flock, for whose designs “ Long' John” thus vouches. In speaking of the coming contest for President; addressing himself to the sectional onslaught, ho says Ke might as Kell make up our minds to fight the battle now as at any other lime. It will have to be fought, and the longer the evil day is put off, tbo more bloody will bo the contest whon.it comes.” : So, then, Lincoln, Wentworth & C0..-in*, tend to wipe out tho South, her rights t|hd her' existence in the “blood.” of her sons ! But, pause and reflect, gentlemen marauders, that before you cross Ahe border line of the old Keystone, you must meet and overcome 250,- 000 of her Democratic sons. Again—in answer to the determination of tho South to be independent out of the Union, unless She can be our equal in it; to dissolve tho federal compact, unless tho letter and spi rit of the contract is fulfilled—in a word, to have a partnership, where their “lives, for tunes; and sacred honor” are not safe he thus threatens, somewhat after the manner of J udas Iscariot Hicksian : “Let tho South threaten dissolution. Lot them secede, if they dare, when Lincoln is elected. They would have anico time of it indeed. Why, without tho protection of our army and navy to-day they could not hold their slaves a twelvemonth. 'Do they forgot their abject terror, when invaded by John Brown and a handful of followers? Do they hot remember that ho held tho whole State of Virginia at bay for •'"ye, and only yielded at last to the soldiers of tho gjnoral government? Dissolve the Union, indeed? IPe would like to see the South get along with its three million of slaves, with no means of preventing a gen eral rising of them, and a hostile people dll along her \ borders. n 1 What does that mean; simply this, in its I naked hideousnesa: If the rights of our South | orn brethren be outraged, and their demands for justice and equality, under Black Repub lican rule, be denied them, and their self-re spect should cdusfr them to withdraw from the Union, then Lincoln, Wentworth & Co., would stimulate the brutal blacks to Insur rection, and in order that the and indiscriminate slaughter might bo com plete; they would refuse'the use of our army and navy for its suppression I Can. anything bo more horrible in its brutal details 7 But I wo say to the conspirators,-that in suoh a con tingency, the aid a Black Republican Presi dent would refuse to our braVe and chivalrous j brother of the South, would- be .-panted by | the loyal hearts and stout arms of Pennsylva- nia's , Democratic . sons./ Again, Lincoln,: Weniwortb & Go.j, speak: " The only thing that prevent! a general ititiirrei lion at Ihti-moment among the tlavtt in the border States, it theirhelief that in inch an event the Whole power ofthe federal government would be brought to bear agatnitthem, and ertUh them to piece!, , Onco - lot thw , fear heVemovcd—ones letit bo Known by tho slaves that in n. contest for their freo aom they would only' have to fight their masters, and nothing oonld prevent an instant revolution/’ .

Thus speaks Wentworth, the leader of their party in the Northwest; and after the same manner j speaks the,German Jacobin, Carl Sciiurz, of Wisconsin.,, . _ m'ght quote more, and equally as atro cious sentiments from these articles of Went worth, and from the speeches of Black Re publican 'leaders, • But wo have given' our I readers enough ijo unfold their treasonable and fratrioidabdesigns. Catallne, with his hardened conspirators, was no.more threaton ing to Rome, : than Lincoln and the Black Republican party to the United States. Let the,people look to fee safoty-of the Republic, when such treason lifts its head and emits its poison. Greater than Rome in her palmiest days, we are none the less free from conspira tors oh that account. They are here, there, and everywhere. They stalk through the Senate, sit In the,House, and insidiously min gle with the people. Shall’the Catalines of our Republic bo tried, convicted and ban ished? ' . Gchi Fostf.r--.Doly of Democrats. - When Gen. Foster was solicited by his per sonaLfriends and admirers to become a candi date for Governor, pays the Clinton Democrat , .lie franklyrcplied that he was hot rich enough I to, afford it. and therefore declined -to comply 1 with their wishes. > This very large class of persons therefore-Ceased cifort for-him,.

That Convention whs prohalily one of the.a.blest and most patriotic that ever assembled in the State., An excited contest twas- going on be tween the friends of the candidates before it: It was feared that the party Could not harmo nize, upon either. Knowing the high qualifi cationsofGen.
