Hq was then a member of the House. from Chester county. He served one session in the House and was the year: following re turned to the Senate from the Chester and I Delaware district. This was a very strong Whig district, but Daily’s great personal popularity gained him the election by a hand some majority. After he had served out his term ill- the - Senate ho movod to' Perry county, where he engaged in the manufacture of.iron in conjunction with farming, tn 1850 he was nominated for Senator hjr.thd Democrats of Cumberland and Perlry, and elected by a majority 0f974 over a very popular opponent. Having served but his term, he'whs elected by the Legislature to the responsible position of State Treasurer, the duties of which office,ho discharged with signal ability and great ad vantage to the Commonwealth. In all the positions. Mr. Daily has held, he proved himself faithful.to the people and true to his principles, He is popular with the peo ple because he is one of them, From a poor friendless boy—a hatter’s apprentice—he has, by his own efforts, reached a position ip the affections of tho people equal to any man of his years in the State,- He has been a “rail splitter” in his time, and week in and week out earned his 75 cents a-day in “ making rails.” Wo don t know that he is entitled to' any par-' ticular- credit for this, for we have tens of thousands of men, good, bad, and indifferent, ■ in this State, who have split rails; but ds pur Republican friends are of opinion that because “ oM-Abe” onco split rails, it should induce peo ple to vote for him for President, we hope to see them all support Daily for Congress on the same plea. Dut, badinage aside, Mr. Daily is worthy tho united support of tho Democrats of this District. He is a “liveman,”and a fearless, honest, working Democrat, who, in tho event of his election, will not bo the tool of any man or set of men, but tho representative of the people of Cumberland, Pony and York. In this county we hear but a single expression of opinion, and that seems to be the general one— that a better man could not have been presen ted to the Democracy for their suffrages. An expression so universal must be true, else it would not have obtained , currency. In his election the people of this Congressional Dis trict will he represented by a man of mind and energy, who will take care that its interests are fully attended to. A firm and reliable Democrat, standing upon the immutable prin ciples of the Constitution, he is worthy of the support of the voters of this county, and wor thy to represent the freemen of this District in ’.he next Congress. . - CARLISLE, PA.,- SEPT. 6, 1860.■ FOR PRESIDENT, ITEPHEfI Ai BQU6EA&, • Or iu.ixoiit.

Thus, the candidates and speakers, if they desire to attend the meetings, are requir ed, to he on the go almost night and day. We would - suggest that a regular system be adop ted (by the Courfiy Committee,) and meetings appointed for the whole county. Let the first mooting be held, for instance, in the lower end townalup-io tfee county, the second meeting in . the adjoining township, the third in the next ; adjoining, &0., and thus proceed through the entire county.

IlrcuiNos gives'a musical enter tainment tibis (Thursday) evening, in Bbecm’s COL,. JOHN POWER received a unanimous re-nomination for As sembly by the Democratic County Convention of Perry. We therefore place his name at the head of our columns, and tender him bur zeal ous support. Col. P., as S’ member? of the House last winter, won the confidence and re spect of the people of this county by his dili gence, to his duties, and the impartiality- he exhibited in his intercourse with his constitu ents. He was seldom out of his seat, and by a reference to the journals, it will be seen that he voted on djl questions of the least import ance, That.his course has been approved by the Democrats of Perry, his unanimous ire-no mination affords ample evidence. In this county Col. : Power will receive'the :full Dem ocratic vote, and will run side by side with his popular colleague on the ticket, our towns man, Wji. J. Shearer, and both will come but of the contest with 400 majority in old Moth er Cumberland. Mark it. JKaWThe legal defence of Mr. Megaw, in the last Democrat, is as labored os it is weak. There is but one paragraph in it entitled to our attention ; that is in count 7. The writer says that Mr. Megaw, last winter, was excee dingly solicitous that a Mr. Mullin (a Demo crat,) should he re-appointed keeper of the public grounds at Harrisburg, by the Eepuh- 'lican Legislature! Well, that to funny. The committeefS'select this officer was composed of.four Republicans and two Democrats; 1 and the astute writer for the Democrat says the editor of the Volunteer defeated Mullin and put a Republican arid a relative in his place 1 That too, is certainly a sage conclusion. We would like to know what influence either Mr. Megaw or ourself could have with the Repub- icans who composed the committee. Mr. Crawford, our Senator, was on the commit tee, and of course voted for Hulun, ns did the other Democrat on the committee. But, two Democrats, Mr. Meg aw might to .know, cannot out-vote four Republicans. They (the Re publicans)' were hound to elect their man, just ,ns the Democrats have been in the habit of do ing when, they had the majority. The only, request we made of Dr. Crawford on the sub ject was, that he would adhere to Hulun, and not vote for’Mr. Botd’s Republican opponent —and this he did. Ponding the election Mr. Megaw wrote to Dr. Crawford, and made a personal attack upon us. He made the elec tion of Keeper of the Public Grounds the mere pretoxt.for doing so. At least Dr. Crawford so understood it, and so did we, for, as Dr, C. remarked to us at. the time, “ every man of ! sense knows that I, (Dr. 0.) have no power to elect any one to this office." Mr. Megaw knew very well that under no circumstances could Mullin be elected, but yet'he thought he discovered an opportunity to attack us.— Ho wrote to the wrong man. Dr. Crawford understood his design, and handed us Me oaw’s letter- The 7th count, therefore, in the Democrat’s bill of indictment falls to the ground- ' Having explained this matter, we drop the subject. We have given oar views in regard to Mr. Meoaw’s nomination, and we are con tent to-submit the question to the people. If they endorse that nomination, we will ac knowledge that we were in error. If they re pudiate it wo-will bo sure that we were right in our conclusions.. Iy~ All persons having-.

Beoiamla P Jnokin, Ibo “Doijer*” We have,all along, charged, that the .so called BepubUcon party was Abolitionism in disguise-— that itd immediate design—the con stant agitation of the slavery question—and ultimate object—the complete extinction of the institution of slavery in the United States —were the same; and that it differed only from the open advocates-of Abolition, in that it was less candid and honest in the avowal of its sentiments. What is Mr; LiNcoiir’sf dec laration of on “ irrepressible conflict” between i the free and slave States, bu£ a species of pro gressive Abolitionism t ' And, iwhat wris ihe John Brown invasion but the logical effect of the Linoolnand Seward doctrine? Although tbs ; Republicans have over rind over again protested that they would not interfere with ■ slavery where if now exists, by authority of local law, ypt he must be blind: indeed .'who does not see that' the. inevitable tendency of their 'epurso and teachings is (»■ the total abo lition of slavery every where, and to the litoral fulfilment of the object for which, it is alleged, the “ irrepressible conflict” is ,being carried on. But ifadoubt has lingered in the mind of any one, as to. the Complete identity, of Re publicanlsm with Abolitionism, the proceed-, ings in the House of Representatives, 1 in May last, will be sufficient to remove it. ■ Mr. Blake, a Republican member from Ohio, (with' more seal than discretion, his friends now: say,) introduced a resolution, of which the following is a copy: Whereas, The ohntellizing of humanity arid the Holding of persons as property is con trary to natural justice and the fundamental principles of our political systorii, rind is noto riously a reproach to our country throughout the civilized world, and. a serious' hindrance to the progress of Republican! liberty airiong the nations of the earth, therefore', v •' _ Resolved, That the. Committee on the Jur diciary be, and the same are hereby instruct ed to inquire into the expediency of reporting a bill giving freedom to every human being, I and interdicting slavery wherever Congress has the : constitutional power to legislate on the subject This resolution, which appears to have been offered without previous .consultation or no tice, took the House - completely by surprise, as mriy well be supposed,- and nope were more anxious to avoid a! direct • vote upon it than Mr. Blake’s own party friends. But," after considerable confusion and excitement, a vote wps, ordered, and they were compelled to show their hands.., The resolution was defeated— yeas 60, nays 109. The sixty who voted for it, are all members of .the Republican party, and among them stand their prominent lead ers-, Grow, -Sherman, ■ Colfax, -Burlingame, Hoard, Farnsworth, the Washburns, Lovejoy, and others of that ilk.' B. F. Jonkin, and several of his associates from Pennsylvania, “dodged," while Messrs. Morris, Millward, and Hickman, well knowing that con stituents would not sustain a proposition'of so ultra a character, were frightened into vot ing no. The purport of this resolution cannot bo mistaken or misinterpreted.. -It is broad and sweeping in its terms,'and looks to the absolute and unconditional abolition Of slave ry throughout the United. States,. ' No I out and-out-, Abolitionist, would have stated -his case in'more positive language. And yet, sixty Republican members of tJie Souse were found’ ready to endorse Up t eiitrera6 views, and sustain them-by their votes I IVe must re spect their honesty, at least, ev.en while: we condemn the aggressive, unwarrantable, and dangerous position they have, taken. They, have thrown aside the mask under which their orators and presses have endeavored to hide the real sentiments of the Republican party, and have unequivocally accepted the Aboli tionists’ platform and aims—the total extinc tion of slavery in the United States, by meas ures of aggression upon the South, without respect to rights of property-which have been established and guaranteed' by constitutional enactment and local Jaw. without regard to the real good of the blacks; and at the sacrifice even of the system of government under which twenty-five millions of white freemen ore pro tected in the enjoyment of civil liberty and political rights. Tho Republicans have made up their own record: They cannot evade it by any sophistical explanations or apologies.

It is on indisputable fact tbot the people of Pennsylvania are in favor of a judicious tariff —a tariff that will afford protection to Penn sylvania interests, (iron and cool for instance,)' and at the same time replenish the U. S., Treasury sufficient- to carry; on the Govorn mcnfc. Wo repeat, .the people ore favorable to' a judicious tariff This being, the fact, our unscrupulous and utterly unprincipled politi cal opponents. Who are constantly on the look out for drift-wood to be found upon the politi cal surface, are attempting, as usual, to make political capital out of the tariff question* Their jgcen and inexperienced speakers are taxing their poor powers to enlighten the pco. pie on this.subject; and yet, wo venture to soy, there is not one in ten of them that can explain the objects' or the principles that should regulate . a well-adjusted tariff bill. They are inere gabblers on a subject about which they know little and care loss. Now, with all their professions, on this subject— with all their affected friendship for a tariff— is it not a most singular circumstance that our opponents ore constantly supporting free-trade •men for high and responsible positions. . Their last candidate for Governor in this State, Mr. Wilmot, it is notorious,, is and always has been, a violent free-trade man. In 1856, they supported Fremont for 1 President, otiother free-trader. N And they are now supporting for President Mr. Lincoln of Illinois, whose home organ, the dkicago Democrat, speaking by Lincoln’s authority, declared, a few weeks since, that “no true friend of thp Republican cuuse would attempt to put Mr. Lincoln upon a tariff platformand that “ the resolution adopted at Chicago, on the subject of the tar iff, was not intended by Mr; Lincoln’s true friends to commit him in favor of a protective tariff. The West, North-west, New England and the South ask ho protection. We (the true friendsnf Lincoln,) are free-trade men from principle and interest, and regard this clamor about a high tariff a humbug ond a cheat.” There, people of Pennsylvania, is the lan guage of the Chicago Democrat tong John AVentwobth’s paper, and Mr. Lincoln’s spec- ial mouth-piece. AVeni worth, of all others, is the man to whom Lincoln is. indebted for. his nomination, and in advocating the election of the raibsplittqr, AVentwoutii speaks by the book. §o tbon, it appears, Mr. Lincoln is hd tariff man; on the contrary, he regards the “ clamor about a high tariff a Immhugl" Such being the opinion of Mr. Lincoln," let us inquire, hpw stands Mr. Hamlin, the Ile- publican candidate for the A r ioo Presidency, on this question ? .The'Vice President, in the event of a tie vote in the Senate, decides the question by casting his own vote. It is. im- portant, therefore, that wo, should know his sentiments, and the only way we can know them is by referring to his former votes. Judging Hannibal Hamlin, then, by this standard, we find that during his entire long public life he lms been a constant,''consistent free-trade man. His State ;is a~ free-trade State—they require no’ tariff in Maine, and are, like Lincoln, opposed to it from principle and interest. Mr. Hamlin speaks the-voice of .Maine when ho announces himself opposed to a protective and revenue tariff . IVlossrs., Lincoln and Hamlin,- therefore, it is clearly ascertained, arc free-trado men. But, say the Black Bopublicans of Pennsyl vania, “did wo not favor a tariff in the,last Oongress; and did not a majority of the Re publicans vote for the M9RRILL- bill—a bill that increased the duty on imports, and one that gave protection to the iron interests of Pennsylvania ?” True, you did support tho Morrill bill, and so did Senator Bigler, and the Democratic members of Congress from this State. But, Messrs. Republicans, after that bill had passed tho House, you concocted a plan by iohich you defeated it in the .Senate. You never intended that it should pass tho Senate,.you did.not want it . to-pags, and -you rejoiced heartily when your scheme to defeat it succeeded.' Had it passed and become a law, one of your electioneering hobbies for this State would haye been gone, and trained stunip-speakors cotfhl no longer humbug the people by, reashing lies to thetn oh this Butt- ject. After the Morrill bill had passed the House, it was ascertained to a certainty, that a number of the Southern Democratic Sena- tors, in compliance with the wishes and ur- gent solicitations of Senator Bioler and Gen, Foster (our next Governor,) expressed a wil- lingness to gratify Pennsylvania; by lending their support to the bill.. The true friends of the moastiro ' regarded the question ended, and felt confident that the long contest on the subject of the tariff, was about to be settled in a' satisfactory manner. This frightened the wily Republicans; for notwithstanding their affected friendship for the Morrill bill, they did not desire to see it become a law. They therefore; at once, and while the bill was pending in the Senate, determined to defeat it, by attacking the South and insulting those Southern Senators who had promised to vote for the bill; Morrill, the author of the bill, opened the. attack in the House, by stigma- tizing Southern 1 men as worse than barbari- ons, whose friendship tho North neither de- sired nor asked for; Lovejot, the crazy Abo- litionist from Illinois—the man who recom mended the “ Helper Book,” and who voted for the resolution requiring the abolition of slavery in all the States of tho Union—follow- ed 1 in o speech, whioln for sarcasm, black guardism, and hatred of Southern men, ex ceeded anything that had ever boon hoard in the House. Then Sumner and Seward in the Senate, acting in unison with tho Black Republicans of the House, poured forth tor- rents of abuse against Southern men, and tauntingly told them that the North could “live and flourish without them.” These speeches had the.effect intended. Southern Senators becoming exasperated, turned round ond said, “ pass your tariff bill if you can ; you say you neither ask ,our aid nor our friend ship; we take you at your own offer, and shell vote against the. Morrill, bill.” ' And so they did, and it was defeated, much to tho gratification of the Black Republicans. And now wo hear their stump speakers and'editors prate about tho tariff, and with crocodile tears in their eyes, lament the defeat of the Morrill bill 1 The miserable hypocrites. , They never supported a tariff bill in their lives for any other than a political object! and' they never will. The Polk tariff bill ofo!846 was the best this country has ever had; it afforded protection to all kinds of 'industry, and was particularly favorable to Pennsylvania inter-' iWr-‘ r\ .•.» osts. Everybody was satisfied, and all inter ests were prosperous. And yet the Republi cans repealed that tariff and enacted the pres ent one. And' -to \dd soythoy spent half ,a million of dollars in bribing members of -Con gross ! AsnuuN, President of'the , late Lin coln Chicago Convention, received $5OOO for his services in; boring through Congress the repeal 6f the protective tariff of 18461 . Can the people, therefore, bo blind to- the designs of our opponents, when they prate about their {friendship for the tariff? Wo trow not. Facts speak louder than professions.

The Committee conclude their letter, to Mr. Breck inridge as-fallows: The propriety of thus publicly .stamping as false;'tboso and oilier nccusatioiis, is the more obyidus' when iv‘b reflect, that" for the last three years you haVo hot had the right, to speak ill the Sbtmte, although l.»y liuy its pro -B>ding officer ; uiul hccnUse thoobvimis motive of these,,personal assaults’ is,-to weaken the confidence of the people in the.
