CongressionalCoaference The conferees of this congressional district met at Bridgeport, on Friday of last -week, and nominated Gen. Josnph Bailt, of Perry county, for Congress, upon the first ballot by a unanimous vote, This selection is hailed with" infinite satisfaction by the people of the district, and wo predict its ratification on the second Tuesday in October by an overwhelm ing majority. Gen. Daily is a gentleman, of the highest order of ability, has a reputation for honesty and integrity above suspicion, and is one of the most popular men in little Perry. We are free to say a better nomination could not have been made. Democrats Get Assessed. It is important-that every Democrat should be assessed. The mere supposition that you are assessed :is not satisfactory. Let every voter examine the printed list, anil if his name is not on it, let him .go at once to the Assessor and'see that it is entered upon the books be fore he leaves.; l—We will, this week, commence printing the Democratic tickets, and invito our friends to call and get them. Of course wo print the full ticket as nominated, with Mr, Meoaw’s. name on for Commissioner. We intend, to take; no undue advantage of, him, and all tickets printed at this office will con tain all the names'of the nominees.' • Democratic Mass Meeting. —lt will bo seen, by reference to the proceedings of the Democratic Standing Committee, that a Mass Meeting has been called, and will be held in Carlisle, on the 6th day of October. This is a.jdditnons recommendation, and we hope to see an old-fashioned Democratic crowd- in Carlisle on that day.. Wo shall speak of this meeting more nt length hereafter. .

' : . ; Cakl “ furrincr,” who landed on our shores just six years ago, and ,who is now a citizen of-Wisoonsin, is expected to arrive in our town in the forenoon train of cars on the 21st inst., and will address the Know-Nothings and Republicans of Carlisle and vicinity on that day. He will ho escorted from the cars, we learn, by a select committee, of which dur amiable neighbor, of the American, is to he ohairnian, who will carry in his hand a ban ner -hearing-the same: motto that formerly graced the head of his paper, yiz—“ Place none but Americans on guard to-night!” Several others of the committee will also, we presume, carry mottoes before the distinguished Bed Re publican atheist, and thus give him a grand 1 reception. Curtin’s motto—the words he used on the stump m 185^— mustjio prominent in the procession. It is this— “A Dutchman is not lilce another person ; hehas two skulls, and in order to get an idea into his head, you must first mash one of his skulls." . A good many Dutch skulls were mashed during the Know- Nothing reign of terror. Hero is another very pretty motto, that might also be carried, and which was frequently used in 1854-55. No doubt our neighbor of the American has it safely stowed away, viz—“ Foreigners must not expect to be placed on an equality with American citizens!’’ Another motto—the “words of Wu. 11. Seward to Gov. Smith, of Virginia — might also appear in the Schurz reception parade, viz—“ We will trade you our Dutch and Irish for your negroes—negroes are reliable voters ; foreigners are not.” But, enough. Wo might suggest a number of other appropriate mottoes to bo used on the occasion of the arrival of the distinguished “furriner,” Carl Schurz, hilt if the four wo have named are properly placed in the pro : cession, they will “ show off" to advantage, and will answer, every purpose. We shall wait patiently for the Schurz reception. Death of Maj. E. S. Ege. We perform a sad duty this morning in an nouncing the sudden death of ah esteemed townsman; Maj. E. S; Ege. On Tuesday he was enjoying his usual, good health, and was in our office about 4 o’clock, P.

' Just imagine i the cool presumption of these few disorgani zers. Who appointed Mem'to hold a Conven tion (which was a mere fizzle,) at Harrisburg?. What fight had theyto set up for themaolvoH, and appoint a bogus Slate -Executive Commit tee? And what authority has this bastard Committee to form a new Electoral ticket? It is-the-, most shameless attempt to betray the Democracy and give the State to the,opposi-- tion wo have over,; known.* : ,The.men engaged in this; business; are' under. the . direction of John W. Forney, editor of the Freis, and know what they are about."' Lot any one look over the columns of the Press, and he will soon see what Forney is driving at. Every day its broad-pages are filled with tho.spoeoh es of Black Republican orators. Forney is. a Lincoln rpan, apd is doing more for life cause of Black-Republicanism than any other Re publican editor in the State. , His affected gra tification ‘ when : -‘ Douglas and Foster were nominated, it was well known, was all a sham .—a mean attempt at deception. He desired the confidence of these distinguished men for a short, time,' that he might betray them'with a kiss.. He is: determined,:df possible, to db-, feat the Democratic party, and he believes he. can accomplish this by running- a bogus Elec toral Ticket in this State. 1 If Democrats cah be caught by tins bait,'aqd anybonside'rable' number be induced to support the bogus tici;s et, then indeed the State ds lost,; and' “old' Abe’' willj m all probability, be the next Pre sident. ■ ''fe-"',' '• ■ have, abiding confidence in,the.De-, mooratio masses, who will; we feel sure, spurn with righteous indignation, this disgraceful ; attempt of a handfull of disOrganizcrs'to sell 1 j the .old Koystbpo, State to Lincoln and-his 'di):. union followers;. Ayoi-they will spnrn tlie at tempt ami the men engaged in it, and leach them that the Democracy of Pennsylvania arc unpurchasahlc,; and cannot ho seduced and corrupted by John W. Fobney and the disor ganizers who follow in his wako; It is well known that the compromise adopted by the State Committee at its last meeting at Crbs son, was offered by a sincere friend of Judge, Douglas. It proposed to unite the. party: in support of the regular Electoral ticket named by the Reading Convention, The compromise thus adopted is honorable and just—fair do ’the friends of Douglas —fair to the friends of, Breckinridge. The true and honest friends of both were willing to stand by this compro 7 mise, believing it to ho the only plan to effect the defeat of Lincoln in Pennsylvania, Eve-. ■rythingAookedTpropitiousf^dndevery;tihebp 7 ponent of Lincoln felt in his heart that Penn sylvania could; ho saved from the grasp of. heartless, bigoted disunion Black Republican ism. Just When this feeling was. beginning to spread and prevail in every nook and cor 7 tier of our broad Commonwealth, a few rest less self-constituted “delegates” met in Har risburg to concoct treason, and plot,the defeat of the Democratic party. This little cabal— men without constituents and without author ity—dared to name a bogus State Committee, and that Committee has, with unblushing au dacity, put forward another Electoral ticket iri opposition to the regular ticket 1 If the men engaged in this disorganization are not Lincoln; men in disguise, they,avo certainly doing all they can to assist in his election, , . It is said by some that Judge Douglas him self gives countenance to this attempt to- edr ry Pennsylvania for Lincoln, and that ho rsc^., ognizes the right of a few disorganizors to.- strike down the regular Electoral ticket. , We’ can’t believe it. Judge Douglas has always professed great respect for regular nominal" nations, and it would be strange, indeed, if to could-so far forget himself as to sanction, for a moment, the treason of the few mischievous men who call themselves his friends. But, wheth er he favors this movement or not, the Democ racy of the State cannot ho induced to yield their organization for him or any other man. Until wo have hotter evidence than wb have now, wo will not believe that Judge Douglas approves of the doings of the disorganizing clique, calling themselves the “ Douglas State Committee.” Wo are exceedingly sorry to see a man wo so highly esteem as Wm. R, Gorgas, of lower Alien township, this county; lend himself, to tliis disorganization. Mr. G. Ims always boon a true Democrat, and, we doubt not) he . in tends to remain one. But yot.ho is the Elec tor for this’ District on the bogus ticket. We feel satisfied that a little reflection will induce him to order his name to be stricken from that ticket. -He-is too gqod a niqn to be used by demagogues.- ’ : . - .’ The Harrisburg 'Patriot and Union thus Speaks of this disorganizing attompt :, , f “ It will bo perceived that the hdgus.Com rhitted, appointed.'by a bogus Convention,' have assumed the authority to strike from the regular electoral tiakofthe namos'of fifteen men placed there' by tho Reading Convention,, (a majority of tho whole number,) and have substituted the-names of persons who. wore" never chosen by the Democracy of the State, tVrvepj-Cacnt them in the capacity of.'electors.

TH E-TJRfFP BLACK RGPCBIiICiiS DECEPTION. Pennsylvania, for years past, has been knocking ■at ;the doors Of; Congress and de manding ' protection for her great staples. That slip ought to have ifc. was conceded by the Southern Democracy-in the House and Semite; that she did not it, arose from the detraction, ignominy and insult heaped on our Southern' brethren by thp sectional Black Republicpn 'ngitntors in-this and other States; i that jshb, get the' protection she asks, is . not doubted, I but it will hot come by the "will , oreffortsOf tliO Black Republican party. ' All them, professions for Pennsylvania interests' ' ;are hollowrhpijrfed and insincere. They are, made'only to delude. Outside of this State, there is, n,o one pf their party who thinks or cares seriously, about bur coal and irdni ' The everlasting, negro is their hobby.' Why* even the gallant f?} Andy Curtin, their Guberna-. -toi'ial candidate, has never publicly aided to pass any protective me.fUjure fpt Pennsylvania.

We might enumer ate instances to the extent of, columns, to show that’tho Republican party is free trade out of Pennsylvania—that its mission is for the bdheßt of the negro—not tho white man.

BV \ Sccrctarte! <- ; ■ “Tnr. main object op Ann good democrats IS, TO DEFEAT THE. ELECTION OF THE REPUBLICAN CANDIDATES.” Theabovo extraotcontainsmuchgoodsense, and we recommend it, in the present emergen cy, to the favoralfio consideration of all who claim to he “good Democrats.” To defeat the Republican party should bo our first great object, and to this end should all our'labors be directed. There’ is entirely too much bad feeling shown, by some ill-natured Democratic eclitorß—too much scolding and .growling.— We ought to remember that all of us, Dougins men and Breckinridgb men; belong to the' same, family, and. should treat each other kindly .and respectfully. .Itonly-.makes mat ters wtirso for the Breckirirtdgo papers to at tack Judge Douglas and his friends, and the Douglas papers to' abase .the supporters of Mr. Breckinridge..To encourage this spirit is Only,to aggravate bur difficulties ns the campaign progresses. In the contest before us—situated as wearo amid “ confusion worse confounded’'—me are determined to labor for harmony and the- general .good of the whole parly. Our mam object is, to defeat the Rer publican candidates, and . for this purpose we are prepared to advocate any honorable means which will accomplish that end. Curb your gentlemen—keep cool,; and make war on tho enemy instead of fighting your own Democratic brothers. So advises the Easiaii Argus, a paper that supports Douglas. If all tho friends of the party were possessed of the same spirit, there would be no difficulty iu'tho way of harmonizing the Democracy of Pennsylvania, and uniting them in the sup port of tho one Electoral ticket in tho field.— But this course does not suit Mr,.Forney and his followers, because it might result in the triumph of the Democratic party—which is just what they are secretly determined, for sole purposes of self-interest, to prevent- —if they can. No true. Democrat' should allow himself to be led by, those wilfully blind guides. If he does, ho wilt, sooner or later, fall with them into the ditch Railroad Accident—A Boy Killed.—A most frightful accident occurred on the Penn sylvania railroad oh Friday morning last, near the Gap Station, in Lancaster county.— Just after the Mail train going west had pass-, od the station, two small boys were observed ahead, one of them walking between the track, and the other outside, and before they could be warned off the locomotive thundered down upon them, the cow-catcher striking the boy on the track and throwing him off and injur ing him 1 so seriously that ho was about breath ing Ids last when the train left. The boys were named,Baldwin, and reside atßothOnia,. two miles this side of the Gap. , The eldest Was between' nine and ton years of age, and the other between six and eight.' The atten tion of the boys at the time was diverted by the approach of a train in an opposite direc tion. Tlio eldest boy bad his brains fmooked ont and was'otberwiso injured, while, the oth er was injured by being" struck by the body of bis brother as it flew from the track. ' This : is another fearful warning to those who insist upon walking on railroad tracks. , Good News to Tax-Pavehs. —The Commie sionoi'a of the jinking Fund have iesmcd their proclamation announcing ,that.§002,204 30 of the dpht of the State'of Pennsylvania haebeon liquidated during the past year. ' .V SPEECH OF DOS,. WM. B. S BEED. i On'tho evening of Sfpt. 4th, Mr. Reed de livered, before the Democracy of Philadelphia, thff/gfsatest speech, sp Rir, camplign. ’ ItjivasJiicttrj.ijdprteouSi'pnd wish vyphad. rbPm .the wholeof it.' "ftfe hope tiff State, Committee will oifdcr its publi cation at onco, as a campaign document. ; It cannbffail to convince whoever rends it. ,We extract the following powerful point sV “Since hie nomination, Mr. Lincoln has spoken once, and once too often. I refer "to . his speech at Springfield,, about four weeks ago; which, was tno more significant, as he ap pears to. have been taken, by.surprise,, and Jo have spoken out, under an impulse, his.ihner thoughts.' There is, I believe, areligiousSoot, called Progressive Friendsso, in politics, there ar e progressive Republicans, nna'toJhis class it would seem Mr. Lincoln .belongs';,. I infer this from his speech, which eithermeabs’ thjSjbr means nothing., Ills language was i— “ My friends, you will fight for this cause four years hence, as you now fight for it, and, even stronger than mts fist,for_ it, though !' may bo dead'and gone - ." 'Nowj in all candor, I ask, what does this moan ?—what does Mr! 1 Lincoln mean by an adjourned or continued i conflict, by bis' “ stronger fight” hereafter.— Does it mean' there is to bo no repoaof rjo- set- 1 Jlpment, no finality, finder liis administration ? The “ fight" is to go on—nay, it is to be “ stron ger” theh-Jhun, now, Not content with' the victory of a compact North, over the stricken and. insulted South, the arms are not tiff be. laid aside—»the array.is not to ho entrenched 'camp is not Jo- be dismantled,-- Since and conciliation arc:not oven hinted at.' omestic slavery', driven, by a triumphant ex ecutive-' and congressional- majority from the territories, is to.be beleaguered in the States. It is to fexist by sufferance, —it is to he de stroyed by compression, and', the Varnished,'' plausible and deceptive Republicanism of 1860 is to become the aggressive Abolitionism of 1864'. So says Mr. Lincoln, if his- language has any meaning; or be anything but-tfioeluni siest rhetoric. .' • ‘ Such wag the utterance—no’ doubt the nn gardod and genuine utterance,’iti'the’West, at Springfield, Mc-Lincoln’s homo; on the 9th of last month, August, This was, if X mistake not, on the Thursday of one week, bn which day, of thereabouts, Mr, Sewabd sot out tb look after Judge Douglas, in Now England; and arrived in Boston, on Monday, the 13th, arid then and there, as I have.' said, close to’ EmvAniy E.veiiett’s home, as if in insult and defiance, he reproduces his doctrine bf ‘‘ irre pressible conflict,” ipsissimis verbis, and adds with emphasis—speaking, I fear, by'authori ty—(l quote his very words,)AnjMirAjf.; LjE’coLN confesscß his obligation to the higher law, which, the Sage of Quincy proclaimed, and avows himself, for weal.br for woe, life, or death, a soldier on the side of freedom, in the irrepressible' conflict between freedom and slavery.”’ This is plain' language. This is npt careless or iflumsy rhetoric, to which Mr. Sewabd is riot addicte’d. Xle always carefully elaborates.’ 1 Thus' speaks Mr. Lincoln for himself jit one end of the line, and thus speaks MrJSEWAitn for him at’the other; . and I h?g-you to Ob serve, so startling'was this development of the animating spirit, the true, design of the Republican party,' that the leading organs of Mr. Lincoln in this city,- who are biisily en gaged In Reducing “the solid men" of Phila delphia into the belief that he and his party are not agitators of this slavery question, have never Ventured to publish Mr. Sew Ann’s re cent speeches. Not that they are very punc tilious either; for, about the time when' Mr. Lincoln 1 was.inaking what looked very much, like an Abolition speech in, Illinois, and Mr: SEwirip twp or three in New England, there appeared in, the ablest and; least radical of the Republican newspapers of this city, a tfansla tion; m tbe. form of a.ri editorial , article, of .Victor Hugo's pamphlet on Italy, in which Jqiin Shown is canonized by harness'a pro-; tiwnartyr, the action, of the law- in -Virginia’ is ,dop°uhced ris'‘‘infamous." America is stigma tized ds “ leaning to darkness;"-apd “the he. grp is bid to hope.". I am quite aware that lie editor who tries his best to be a conserve tiye man', wasnbsent when, the railing of this' crazy Frenchman was reproduced W-but itdld appear y was read by thousands;'was. added to the stock of wretched 1 literature which hah an ti-slavery for its basis,and gladdened the hearts of those who, with Mr. Lincoln and Mr. Sew- Ann and Mr. Sumner, 100k 1 forward-to the gobd time of the “irteprcssiblecohflict," “the stronger fight,” wheh, to use Mr,. Seward's words irranotbcr connection, “ the banner will bb unfurled with safety in the: slave States.” Lord Brougham and Yictbr Hugo, an English 'and a French Abolitionist, -insult us at the same dime. The New'York Tribune thinks Xord3rougham did •what-was-right,. and-lho- Lincoln papers of Philadelphia reproduce the ravings of the French enthusiast, With the faintest possible expression of dissent: i | When in 1855, Mr. Sumner made his.anti slavery harrangue ,in the Senate, the public mind revolted at it, and nothing but the act of violence which it provoked saved it from universal eondctcnation. -Now, in 186(>,. : lio makes a much worse speech, more defahiato ' ry, more' acrimonious, more gi'otesqnely ma lignant, and Republican Senators listen with contentment, and Mr; Sumner has an ovation in the city of Ne w York, where, amidst bright eyes, dimmed only by tears of and tumultuous cheers, he makes it speech for the Republican candidate; worse than any he ev er uttered; and Wendell Phillips preaches ag gressive abolition in Philadelphia, and-Mr, Curtis, a leading delegate at Chicago, has to bo protected ,by the strong hand.of the law, ns ho invokes sympathy for those who would have been glad to make a new Oawnpore on the banks of the Potomac. Mr.’ Sumner’s last triumph is the nomination of a .“Radical Re publican" as Governor of Massachusetts." ■ ’—ln giving a descrip- “Dutch and Irish.” tion of the late Domocratio “ pole-raising;” the American (the leading Black Republican paper in our county,) contains the following paragraph. We would call the attention’ of our naturalized fellowrcitizons to the latter portion of the concluding sentence: < : “ Upon the whole, the meeting was the. ra ciest and most amusing we ever beheld, and beautifully illustrates the condition of the un terrified. The old stagers kept shy of the meeting, and loft it without direction. It did not suit their policy to say Douglas, for fear of giving offence to the Brockinridgers, and so they stayed away, leaving the Dutch and Irish have their awn way, and exhibit hotv well this “ better class of our citizens” can behave them selves, and how thoroughly they understand the principles and theory of our institutions." Comment upon'the above is unnecessary; Nearly all the Black Republicans are “ played out Know-Nothings,” and they still retain their antipathy to everyone born in a foreign land. Our “Dutch and Irish” friends, we' trust, will properly ' appreciate the kind senti ments of the Black, Republicans.
