Days Getting Shorter. —The days are get ting-shorter—perceptibly so : —not only by the ordinary course of nature, but the cool morn ings make sleeping so exceedingly comforta ble that nearly every person feels disposed to .lose half an hour in a snooze. Blessed be the Eaan itbj»t invented sleep, says Sancho Panza, for. it is a glorious institution, and blessed be the- man, say, we, who invented cool mornings, fir they, enable us to take a decoction of sleep, that is < worth nine hundred and ninety-nine times more .than the dirty worm, which the early bird is supposed to catch. A .Parade. —The “old Infantry,” Captain JI. M’Cartwev, paraded our streets, carrying some twenty-four muskets, on Saturday after noon." The Infantry looked unusually-,woll, and from their marching and evolutions, wo judge they have been practising the drill of late to considerable advantage. This compa ny, if it continues to improve as it has done of late, will soon , rank with the best in this section of the country.' Spare’ the Trees. —Some country people when they come to town have a practice—and a very bad one It la —of hitching their horses tathe>shade trees along.our streets.. This- is net right; , The trees which adorn our town were not intended for hitching posts, and when .made such are soon ruined. Let every one hood the following advice of “ye polo,” and • offend hp more :,, i “ Horseman, spare that tree! . ,’Xis hot a hitching post j Though in Us infancy, Yet soon 'twill shade a host.

IOOK IO THE 'ENEim \To- notice with regret that a majority of oar cotemporaries of tho > Democratic press sol dotn mnke amy olluaion to the common enemy, but give nearly;their; undivided attention' .to the difficulties. in ,pur bwhr ranks.' ■ Notwith stondingdSlt. Lincolnis vulnerable at ofory point; notwithstanding hois, in every respect;.’ among the last men in our country that should' j bethought of for the Presidency, yet,he almost escopos criticism, and bis detestable and dan gerous principles are seldom alluded to. by these presses. The rampant Douglas papers continue, without flagging, to pitch into Breckinridge and his friends, and the latter return the compliment by assailing- Judge Douglas and his friends. And thus they continue, Week in andi week out, and appear to forget altogether that they have n common enemyinfront-i-rtheßlack’Kepublidans—hirill-i ing for fhe fight; and.only ; waiting tho : ,day of battle to.-pounce upon both wings of the Dem ocratic party, dnd defeat them if possible.—. What consummate foolishness it is for Demo crats thus to act. Just now we have two of our Democratic exchanges before us—one a. Douglas paper, the other a supporter of Bbeckinicibge. The- first contains : three lengthy editorials denunciatory of Breckin ridge, and the other graces its columns with several articles against Douglas. Not one word against Lincoln or Curtin in either of them! . These papers-might be read for wfeeks in succession, and tho reader would hot find out the names of the Republican'candidates. Now, we will not attempt to dictate to our ed itorial' brethren,' for many of them are older men than the writer of this article, and pos sessing much more experience—but" yet wo cannot hut express the hope that this smcidal policy may he dropped. ' Let our friends of the Democratic press who have been engaged indeerjiogeach other, becauseof an honest difference of opinion op the Presidency, stop and think, and look before-them. They will then, we think, after they rub their eyes, dis cover a hostile enemy—an enemy that will require their united efforts to vanquish. Let them grapple' with .that enemy, and thus prove to the.world that’they still lovethloir country, too wdl to he seduced from duty by a petty family quarrel about a question which, to say the least of it,- is a mere abstraction.- Democrats—and you of the press, particularly —it is-time to stop this;wrangling about the Presidency. Six freaks more and the first election takes place. /We must elect Foster, or we are gone in November. Up, then, and at the common enemy! Chargevtpon Cumin and his motly crew—np with the banner of Victory! Triumph wo can, and triumph we will, if we only cease bur bickerings about tho Presidency. Bell and Everett Meeting.— The Consti- I tutional Union meeting held in this place on i Monday evening.was well attended, and crea- 1 ted considerable feeling among the Republi- < cons, many of whom had been laboring under 1 the impression that the believers in the Union ’ faith and supporters of Bell and Everett were I few and far between. The numbers present ■ and. the enthusiasm manifested has entirely dispeled that idea. James Hamilton, Esq., (old line Whig,) presided, and E. C.-Paciuk, Esq., of Philadelphia, 1 addressed the meeting in a speech of more than tvyo hours in length, ttia speech was one of tho most forcible, effcc-^ . live, scathing efforts wo oyor listened to. He handled the Abolitionists without gloves, and proved conclusively that the principles held by, ; Lincoln, Hamlin, Seward, Sumner, and other leaders in the Republican ranks, are cal oulated to disturb the peace of thecountry and i endanger the Constitution.' :He advocated, in ■ eloquent language, the election of Bell arid ; Everett, because, as he said, their election i would restore confidence and good-feelings— '■ The meeting was one of the largest we have had in this place for years; and the’freqnency of the cheers during the speaking, gave evi dence that tbe “ old gentleman’s ticket” has I .many enthusiastic friends in this county. - Very Cohsistent I—At the RopublicarT County Convention ,(beld in the Court house, in this borough, on the2Qth inst.,) a resolution was adopted approving and endorsing the en tire platform of the Chicago Black Republi can National Convention 1 When we take in to consideration the fact that one of the Chica go resolutions soft soaps our naturalized for eign citizens, and that the late County Con vention of our opponents was composed of for mer Know-Nothings—men who. had taken an oath upon themselves to oppose all foreign born-citizens —it appears strange that the res-, olution was offered,-and. stranger still, that it passed without a dissenting, vote. ' And who offered this resolution, approving of the Dutch Plank” portion of the Chicago plat form ? Why, our neighbor Zinn, editotof the American, the Know-Nothing organ. As Mrs. Partington would say, “did you over!”’ A Know-Nothing 1 editor approving the “ Dutch plank” in the Chicago platform I Oh, consis tency, thou art a jewel. Census Returns,— Mr. H. H. Bubbly was the Marshal to take the census of Mechanics burg and New Cumberland boroughs, and Monroe,, Upper Allen and Lower Allen town ships. He has finished the job, and has made a very neat and correct return to the Marshal. Indeed all the Marshals appointed in this county have discharged their duties admira bly, and to the entire satisfaction of Marshal Yost. From Mr, Ederly’s return wo learn that In the borough of Mechanicsburg'th© pop ulation is 1,949, and during the year the deaths numbered 17, the value of real , and personal property is-estimated at $1,277,057, of schools there are 8, with 15 teachers, arid 492 pupils, the churches 6. Monroe township numbers in population 1,849 ; the deaths dur ing the year 19; there are 141 farms, and the value of the real and personal property is §!,- ■671,565 ; the schools number 12, having 509 pupils. In Upper Allen township there is a popu lation of 1,278, and during the year the deaths numbered 11; there are 89 farms, and the real and personal property is valued at 51,202,570; the schools number 7, with 300 pupils. ’ Lower Allen township has, a population of 1,384, and tho deaths during, the year number 6; the , farms number 70, and the real and personal property is valued at $824,030 -there are 7 schools, with 424 pupils. . ’ New Cumberland borough hag a population, of 394, and real and personal property is -val ued at sloo,l2othe deaths number during IO the year 4; schools 1, having 80 pupils. THEIB OWN SPEECDES FBIGIITBN TEES. Theßlaokßopuhlican party 1a composed of ao many shred* and patchoa, and odds and ends, that it is .a- difficult matter for their most; experienced’ loaders and speakers to express their ihbnest sentiments without giving; of jfOncov Rampant Abolitionism is, of course,’ the ruling element in the Republican party— its leaders are-all of that stripe, and their can didate for the Presidency, Mr. Lincoln, is as hostile to tho’Southern States os was the thief and murderer, John Brown. But, notwith standing that this is the. fact, and that the opr. position is nothing more nor less than'an Ab- olition party, it is amusing to notice thoir blanched faces when one of their,editors pr.orr ators come out, in bold language,’ and declare the principles and objects of the Black Re publican party., When John Brown and his desperate followers entered tlie-sovereign State of Virginia, to murder her citizens, and incite the slaves, to insurrection, ho was but carry ing but the doctrines of the Republican party; but yet, because he failed in tyis infamously wicked designs, his party friends,, who hadfor years been supporting bis views, and Who had' furnished biro arms and money; made amciok show of regret that he had gone, so far, and pretended to lament the fate of the'.mnocont Virginians who had been shot down in the streets of Charlestown. OK, what hypocrisy ! - Had John Brown sncoeedeS in his diabolical i attempt, we would have heard shouts of praise from the Republican camp, and'instead of censure, he would have been extolled for his courage in carrying out the, objects of the Re publican party. , But, John Brown's schemes failed, and the stigma of his acts rested on his party. It was-therefore riecesssary for the more- dishonest porting of them, to, make- new professions, and to prptend devotion to, the Un- ion, and to> denounce John, Brown.: Tho rec ognized lenders, however—the Sewards, Sum ners, lovojoys,Wentworths and Lineolns,wero’ not prepared to yield the opinions they had jo long advocated, upheld and defended. No 1— they were not to be seduced from their princi ples by the wire-pullers, and place-hunters of their party. Lovejot, spoke, out in a set speech, in which ho poured forth the vials of his wrath upon our Southern neighbors; Sim- NEE.followed in the Seriate, in even a more vi olent strain; Wentworth belched forth’his treason through the columns of his paper, the Chicago Penieermt (the mouth-piece of Lin coln ;) Seward, quite recently, in a set speech, again advocated his ‘‘irrepressible conflict” doctrine, :and :said he supported Lincoln for the Persidehoy because ho /oirio that Lincoln’s views were in harmoriy with his oyvn. Other distinguished Republicans avo also op the stump, advocating, .the election of Lincoln be cause, as they say, he is the sworn enemy of the South and the zealous advocate of the‘‘ir repressible conflict.” ' So'stand the leaders in theßlack Ropublicnn'rariks, and should Ihn coln be elected, their views,trill becarriedout to the letter.. ;,. ; ' 1 Notwithstanding this is'the bold nttitude of the’ leading men of the opppsitrim, many of ihe lesser lights, 1 we repeat—those 1 who desire to win by' any ’means, fair Or foul—are attempt ing to. cheat the people into the belief that the principles- that have' been'enunciated by the Captains Of their party are not the principles of thoßlaekßepublican party; in other.words’, that. Lincoln’s own, words,, and Seward’s,and Loyqjoy’s, and Sumner’s, api ‘VYentworth's, must riot ho believed! ■ Tbeseleseer lights're fuse to give publicity to the speeches of their recognized champions, not becanse they do not like their sentiments, but because senti ments are too bold and too honest to he read by the men they desire to deceive! Thiskind of deopetion will not answer—this, attempt to' cheat the people by keeping them in the dark, is but another evidence of the dishonesty ,of Black Republicanism—another evidence of the means that, desperate political gamblers will resort to. Better for our opponents to make a clean breast of it, and assert their treasonable. designs, and stand by them. It must come to .this At,last, fdr they cannot always hide their hands. No, Messrs.,disunionists, you cannot cover up the objects you have in view, by pre tending to repudiate the sentiments of .your candidates and your leaders. This is too shah low a. trick by which to catch even gudgeons;; The people understand-you, and they'know , and understand the .principles by which Lin-, coln and his right-hand men swear by, and they will condemn and repudiate both, just as certain as the sun rises on the day of the elec tion. Pilgrimage of Gel. Curtin. Wo observe that Col. A,;G, Curtin, the Black Republican candidate for Governor, is now On his long heralded pilgrimage to the Susquehanna Valley and Northern counties; but. his progress excites but little enthusiasm, while the measure of his success in explain ing the beauties of Black Republicanism arid his own remarkable tergiversations is small indeed. He delivered his first speech at Bloomfield a few days since, and there held the Chicago platform, including the famous “Dutch plank,” as the very essence of politi cal orthodoxy; and yet, four years ago, An drew G. Curtin was one of the chief spirits in the dark-lantern oligarchy, andbrie of its most active and zealous propagandists. , His denunciations thenof Gormans and Irishmen alike wore unmeasured in bitterness, and full of acrimony and insult. Ho, a high officer of the Commonwealth then, had not hesitated to take upon himself a solemn oath to proscribe every adopted citizen pf whatever notion, and in carrying out his work of persecution be ex hausted the vocabulary of malignity and his own powers of invention in heaping upon thein every epithet that wos vile and every li bel that could degrade. Under the cover of night, secretly, and by moans of grips and mystic signs,, Andre*- G. Curtin plotted and conspired against the rights of all foreign born citizens; but now; os o-Blaokßepubliearican didate; he fjrids in trill 1 foreign fcorn citizens everything worthy of admiration and nothing to condeuriri. >; Such is Col. Curtin oS an advocate of Black Republicanism; Never else than a political demagogue—pausing at no meanness or injus tice that woujd promote any-political end, the people are top familiar .with.his antecedents to how become his dupes., ■ The honest yecn manry among whom he now is'have Once iir digndnUy’condemned him; and. have in store 1 for:him a still more severe rebuke, no matter how ho may attempt to explain his extraordi nary political tergiversations.

The Union Sentiment Paramount—Politiclaiw j Fighting the People. ~ Tho' masses of, the, Democratic party of "Pennsylvania,' dnd indeod all oonservativpcit iaons,! desire thatlheirvotes should bo cast so. as to bo- effective against Lincoln. They do not want them thrown .away upon separate; tickets whereby Linooha will carry the State with a minority of the- total vote. They-de sire to present a united- front against the.com men enemy.. Go and oonsult the- people on this subject, and you will- find that this is what they earnestly'wish for. Wliatofesjacle prevents tho consummation of their desires? Nothing in tho world but the plans of a few professional politicians,, who Wet in secret chambers and concoct schemes for thwarting the popuior wish by dividing the anti-Lincoln vote of the State. These managers who, un dertake the job of fixing up tickets for the- Democratic party are-without , a particle ot authority to back , them-. They .are upsusr tallied by. any considerable 1 , nvuubeu. of "votes opposed to: the Republican, party,-;. Tlmmnss-r es of the Demool-atic partyliave- no sympathy with them; and; they know it. But it suits their own selfish purposes to play tho game pt discord,and,they would,rather..see Lincoln elected,-than, that they should, not be the lead ers. of tln- party. They would rather lead to 'defeatthainfoliow to .... It is time-for the- people, who don't mean that their votes-shall ,bo tin-own away on bar | teied, to Lincoln, to take these mischief-plot ters in, haiutl and 1 teach them- a wholesome les son. It is gratifying: to know that the- milli bar oT their, followers is comparatively small, and that they do itot speak for tho Douglas mon of Pennsylvania. The evidence that the friends of Douglas repudiatb the plot,to divide tho Democratic; pal-iy is multiplying day by day. Prom every quarter of the Common wealth the union flag floats from the Douglne, newspapers, and the leading toon of that sec tion. are coming in .to its support. This of i itself would deter any set of men who respect-. ; ed the,voice of the majority;-or cared for Democratic success from pursuing-the reckless path of division and defeat. But, thedogged edness.with which they defy the party, and even their own friends, furnishes evidence that they mean mischief. .It is clear that they cannot help Douglas by promoting, a division in tho Democratic .party. The Douglas men must see-this. , Tliea it is their duty to dis charge these self-constituted loaders, or if they will not be discharged they should bo aban doned, by withdrawing the last vestige of sympathy from them. Tills would convince them, if nothing else-will, that leaders without a party are in a very awkward: predicament. It is the fasliion of these, promoters of. dis cord to denounco the, compromise- adopted at Cresson as a cohtiivance-pf politicians to cheat the people. If they could rise above their passions and prejudices they would see that tlie sentiment pervading the mass of conser vative voters, not only in this- hot in other States, is favorable; to, Uuioa against the lle publicaa party.

Maes,i(Vnymi*ic.'iV ; heft? at Harrisburg, met lit that place/ oh (lie 15t|v anil''resolved, in secret -session,, .as we lire informed, to place “ a clear 3>6tiglaS. elec toral ticket” in the field. As. the ffi.eud of Mr. Douglas, and an ni-dont desifef of his she cess, we condemn this movement. It was in the power of this Cpmniittce, to have rendered a very great service to the Democracy .byrec ommending the support of the compromise 1 at CressonJ : Instead 1 of this, the Committee has taken such.action as willassisl the Republic can party, in ifhe election; of 'Lincoln. They seem to have utterly repudiated the - idea of any effort to preserve the Democratic organi zation of ;the State, .and by declaring against it, has given great satisfaction to the Opposi tion,- By openly . going over to the Repub lican ranks, this -Co'mmittco could not serve the.-cause of Lincoln _ moro hfibctnally" than they havo.done by their pifort to create amt continue a division in the Democratic ranks. •No true friend of Mr: Dougins can, with any consistency, favor this Harrisburg niovo : monti :It is, in fact, a Bolter's ticket. The ticket nominated at Rending is certainly the Only authorized and regular ticket of the Dem-; : ocratic organization of the State. Wo do pof wish: the name of Mr. Douglas to bo associated with disorganization. We do not wish to, see-, him run on a minority ticket. ‘ However, we; are ■ well (tssured that this Harrisburg movement will meet with a lean and slender support from tlitr friends of Mr. ■Douglas in the State. Tfipf cal friends of Mr. Douglas do not wish a separate ticket in the State, and they will not support one placed in the field without the shadow of Democratic au thority. ■ ■ ‘ : . 1 The Crcssbn Compromise gives every Doa glas man an opportunity to vote for Mr. Dou glas and his principles, ■ If simply' acknowl edges .whaf every man knows to be a fact,' that there is a division in the party, and’by if simple arrangement it allows those with do riot wish td ,voto for Mi;, Douglas to express their preferences for another, wltliont grant ing that Jhat other is in any Sense entitled’td; claim a single Democratic vote. Under no contingency which can possibly, arise under the resolution, can' the Cresson movement pos sibly be of any benefit to any other candidate, for the Presidency than Mr. Douglas. But those who still hold out in favor of State disorganization, openly admit that they prefer Mr. Lincoln to any other Democrat than Mr. Douglas, Their partisanship for the man has swallowed up their fealty to the Democratic party. As for us, Democracy is i first, and Democratic men afterwards. Thera is no Democrat of good personal character arid reasonable capacity whom we . would nof pre for to see in tlie Presidential chair rather tnan Abraham Lincoln. i. • We warn our friends at theoutstnrfnot to be, misled by this Harrisburg movement.
