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.;

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

Black Republican or People’s party. ‘The ba
sis of action adopted at (Treason, leaves no room

for a choice between a national and a section

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

; Again, WentwortK. &Co.j draw,
tho, following foarfui and bloody picture, for
tbb benefit of thoso at the So.uth, who refuse
t 6 remain in tho Union, in company with the
political .Thiigs ,that yyciuld conceive and has*

, They hot only yyrito the play, but will Send
men “from the . North” to act the leading
parts, shill the scenes, and do all else’ neces-
sary to. the bloody drama. This is what the
Black Ropublican or People’s party, under
the . load of .Lincoln, intend to do. 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

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,. 'Yet:
county ai\ ev county instructed its delegates
for him.To oaelrvtod:every one of these. ho
replied, that he dS&iwt desire- the nomination
and therefore pdsiiiVeiy declined. .When the
Heading Convention- hsembled, it wa's.fo'und
that several delegates had letters from him
forhidding-the us s e.of his name for nomination.
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. Foster-h is stern patriotism and
integrity— and the-desire of so largo a portion
of the Democracy nominate him—his name
was introduced into the 'Convention in spite of
his protestations to' the contrary, and he was
nominated unanimously amidst a degree of en
thusiastic-fervor rarely if ever witnessed be- :
fore.-- '
Thus literally forced into the field against
his repeatedly expressed will and against His
interests,- yielding his personal desires to the
demands of his party* we submit the question
to every honest man, wliethor it is not a gol
den dntyfor every Democrat to use,his utmost
efforts py elect him—to sacrifice every minor
consideration—especially to forget all extra
neous or national , difficulties—and make a
grand, anddetermined rally for Henry D. Fos

jects neglect and forget’him, and-allowhim

1 The Governorship of Pennsylvania—inclu
ding as it does the'control of her legislation,
her laws, her taxes and her revenucs—is more
important to her citizens than even the Presi
dency of the nation; ! Pennsylvania is an em
pire within herself—a natipn of herself—
abundantly- able Jo protect herself , let other
States do what they may. But to proseryoher
power, she must take care of her domestic af
fairs. -We are of. those.who believe that bur
first duty is to the State., Preserve Pennsyl
vania in a healthful condition and she will
take care of'tho Nation. The first stop to
wards doing this, is to exercise the utmost
caution in the selection of her chief Magis
trate; She must have a man who understands
her wishes and. interests, and possesses the
nerve to carry t£em out and protect them.—
Such a man is Gen.' Foster. With him ns Go

A Partridqb Story. —Levi Capp, of Bast
Hanover, Lebanon county, while mowing }n
his father’s field recently, killed an old part
ridge that had been hatching on sixteen eggs.
He took the eggs hom'o in his cap, and placed
them on the stove, and the host morning he
found that whole of the sixteen eggs had been
hatched, producing sixteen young partridges 1
He allowed teem to run with the rest of the
poultry, and has now seven of them left living
that have nearly attained their full growth.
New Material for SnoENAiLS.—Zinc nails

stituted for sowing in ladies’ slippers. An
iron lost is employed,' and the nails, on being
driven in, strike the lost, and become headed

_ Paris is, coftainly, in some 'parts, a ,wry
beautiful city; but, even, in the, places of its
greatest beauty, it does not equal some, places
X have seen,in America. The “AVe Iln-o/i"
running along the Tuiteries aiid the Lom :f
which is, I bbliev.o, considered the handsomest
street, cannot compare, with Fifth Avenue
New,York. Paris; has' ho;:Broadway. It is
true, wo have no public squares or gaftlens
like those of the Tuileries; birt wo have the
ground out of which to make thouf, andit
wift not he long befofc they arc made. r-V
The Tuileries, bycry One knows, is the none
of the palace of the : kin£S, and' emperors of
. France. It is a long,, low, dingy build
ing of some kind of yellowistone. The style
of- the architecture is very did. .There is
nothing remarkable about ,this building except
its size, Ond^ the'asspofatious connected with
u;_tpr which,! refer your roadork to their hk

crowds of children and-maids whb frequent
th® cool shades* Adjoining the gardeus, is
the ''Place tie la Concorde/ 1 This is a mag
nificent open, square, a large fountain, in the
centre ; arounU are aUcgOyiual siatues .of the
various celebrated cities of Hero is
the place where, stood the guillotine, which
drank, the blood of the noblest men of the land.
-The grpund over which we was fatten

on this place, and think, of.thtese terrijjlo

the giddy whirl of the place. You look
very, spot where, stood the fatal' instrument,'
and are earned back three thousand years bv
seeing rise, in its stead, the obelisk of Luxor.
Ihe “Place’’ must he an ominous place for the
rulers of this country. It is so convenient to
the palace, that it would fake but n short time
for a mob,to take the inhabitant of the, Ttiil
cries to the'bid-guillotine stand, and off .with .
his head. , ’ ',
Attached to the palace is the Louvre, for-.
jnerly a.palace itself—now a gallery of paint
ings; sculpture, &o. Internally nnd .oxtcr
nally, it is beautiful an I grand. ■ -In Rize, it is
immense. Perhaps there is' no building in
tiio world, in which are collected so .many
valuable paintings, statues, antiquities, aba
curiosities;, Ninevah aud other oriental and'
ancient cities have,contributed abundantly to
it. Ancient, niedimral and modern art tiro
here seen side by side, enabling .qs to judge
how far short of the great masters tjie mqdcrns 1
fall. As far as my observation goes, I-think
all must admit that the Greeks excel the mod
erns in sculpturebut in painting; the mn>
tors of to-dny excel any pictures by any greot
master, no matter who—l, except, however,
one painting by Rubens.
It will take three or four weeks, of on refill
observation to see the Louvre alone, pr Opedf-

! The favorite drive of the Parisians is bn the
“Champs JElyssiesP This is a wide street, or
rather road,’ with large and beautiful trees
upon each side, running frora “Place d
Concorde," to the Triimpltal Arcfi, built by.
Napoleon I. Hero are to be. seen carriogefl
and hacks by the hundred,. ' At night, they
look like a sea of fire-flies. After passing tho.
Arch, you como into the environs, and soon
arc at the “Bois de Boulogne," This jsA
beautiful -wood, intersected in all directions,
by splendid walks and carriage ways.' There
are. ponds, or,, as they are called, lakes, enh
vened by various kinds of water fowl. Every
one'who can turn out d'.team, seems to he
dashing along the road to this delightW
wood.
Time and space forbid my gping into details
I am compelled to pass over many interesting
and beautiful objects. The Vendomb column
made of the cannon captured at Austerhh
and elsewhere; the'many relies of the ola
kings of Franco, and of the old’Napoleon,,
still kept in the Zok ore, from’ the crowns oi
the kings of the fifth century,—-the iron cro'TO
of Charlemagne, &0., down, to the handwr
