Brsolulion Adopted by Die State Executive AonmiUce, August 9, 1850, Resolved, That the Democratic Electoral Ticket be headed with the name of Stephen ' A, Douglas or John 0. Breckinridge as an elector at largo, and in the event of the suc cess of said'ticket, if the greater number of votes sholl have been cast for Stephen A. Douglas, then the vote of the electoral college of the- State shall he . east for Stephen A. Douglas and Heraohel V. Johnson, for Presi dent and Vice President; but if for John C. Breckinridge, then for John 0. Breckinridge' and Joseph-Lane, for the same offices. If the vote of Pennsylvania cannot elect the candi dates for whom a majority of the votes are cast, and it can elect any man running for •the office of President of the United States claiming to be a Democrat, then the vote of the electoral college 'shall be east for that candidate. If it will not elect either of the Democrats for whomit is cast, or any of the Democrats who were voted for in the. States, then the votes shall be oast for the candidate' who has the majority of the votes of the State; and that the Chairman of this Committee be ■instructed to.obtain from the gentlemen on ' the Democratic Electoral Ticket of the - State 1 their several and distinct pledges of acquies cence in the foregoing resolution, and to re port the result of his , action in the premises at tho next meeting of the Committee, to- he held on the— ; —day" of — l —. .BESDLT.JS THIS WIT. . Below we give, the returns for this county, .'as wo could pick them up.. The majority for Foster is much Jess than we expected—say 150. ‘.Our candidates for. Assembly are doubt less defeated, this county having given a small majority against both. We fear Duke, the Democratic candidate for Prothonolary, is de feated, owing to the severe cut he received in the NowviUe District. Meg aw is defeated for County Commissioner, by a decided majority, and the vote between Thompson and Skady, the candidates for is close. We think Thompson is elected. Floyd, Democrat, ,is elected Clerk-of the Courts. The balance fess, deads Joskin in this county, about 1-10 or 150 in York county . Baily’s majority is aboul 1,000, and in Perry Junkin', we learn, is a head of Daily some 750. Baily is therefore elected by about 350 or 400 majority—a De mocratic gain Of ope Congressman.

We bare but few returns in, but enough to satisfy us that Curtin is elected Governor by a very large majority—perhaps 20,000. The Republicans will also have a decided majority in both branches of the Legislature.' Below we give the reported majorities,"as' far as heard from: Allegheny, Lancaster, Cambria, • .

A. L. Snowden, Esq., of Philadelphia, addressed ■the meeting ■in a powerful, convincing, and able manner, and was highly appreciated by the large-mass of people before him. Tlie Fos ter Club of Carlisle performed its whole duty in the late campaign,- and as its presiding offi cer, wo desire to thank its members for their efficiency and zeal. V ’ R - R —At an election helii on the Ist mst., for officers and managers of the Cum berland Valley Railroad Company, the follow ing persons were duly chosen: , Pres idcut- —Frederick Watts. j Treasurer and.

Ho re fused to attend a late ratification meeting of th« Republican of “ People’s” Party in that eity, for the reasons named. Ho prefers 801 l for the Presidency. Attempted Riot. —On Saturday evening last, about 6} o’clock; a party of forty U. S. soldiers from the Carlisle Garrison, paraded to town in a- body, each man having a club or atone in his hand. They halted in front of the jail, and demanded the presence of: the officer in charge of. the building." Sheriff M’Cartnet appeared before them, informed them who he - was, and asked them what they wanted. They toade no direct reply, but sev eral of them commenced to abuse the Sheriff, and threatened to storm the prison. By this time a. number of citizen? bad collected, and the Sheriff summoned them to assist him in dispersing the mob. No sooner said than done. The citizens rushed upon the soldiers, and fur a time brick-bats and stones could lie •seen flying in all directions. The soldiers took to their heels, but several were dropped during their flight. The citizens, followed them to the Garrison lane, and in a short tinio the soldiers were safe in the Garrison. It appears the soldiers were under the im pression that one of their comrades had been arrested and confined in prison, and they had determined to release him. It was a mistake —no soldier was in prison at that time.— Should any. of their number ever commit a breach of the peace, however, and bo sent to prison, all the soldiers at the Garrison will not bo able to fake him out, and wo advise them not to make the attempt. We have no unkind feelings for the soldiers, but we tell them, in all kindness, that when they visit town they mus{.behave themselves. “A word to the wise," &e. Fire. —On Saturday evening last, about 9} o’clock, a dense smoke was seen to issue from tho large stable'attached to Glass’ hotel, and iu a few seconds the whole building was dis. covered to bo on fire. The alarm was at once sounded, and our firemen wore soon,upon tho ground. The fire, however, had got'such a start that it was found impossible to save the stable, and the firemen directed their, atten tion to ■ the adjoining buildings, which 'were saved after much labor The stable contained a largo quantity of hay in tho mow, oats, corn, straw, &c., all of which were of course con sumed, At tho time the fire broke out, there were eight horses in the stable. Sis were got out without injury, and two perished in the flames. One belonged to Mr. Ol'ags, and tho other to Mr. Samuel Adams. . Mr. Glass, we are pleased to learn, had his property insured' in the’Franklin Insurance Company of Phila delphia. Ilia loss, notwithstanding, is very considerable. The fire was, beyond question, the work of tho-incendiary. Another Fire.—The Catholic -Church in Hoi.NS.—Oti Sunday night, about eleven ifolock, our citizens were' again startled by the cry of ‘*firel” As soon as possible, we ran in the direction of the light, and discov ered that the Catholic Church, inj?omfrot street, between Bedford and Fast streets, was on fire. It was sonic time before our firemen were on the ground, and by the time they were ready to throw water, the fire had niado such headway that no efforts copld save, the building.

Death or Judge Woodburm. —Wo regre*. to announce the death of lion, Samuel Wood burn, one* of the Associate'Judges of this county. This distressing event took place at his residence, in Dickinson township, on Sun day morning, about 2 o’clock. Judge W. was elected an Associate Judge in 1851, and re-elected in 185 G. He was a man of great decision of character—a worm friend and de cided enemy—who in his day wielded a pow erful influence in political circles. Being a warm-hearted, benevolent man, bo had troops of friends, who valued him for bis 'integrity [ and for his,kindness to thepooranddestitute, j The loss of Judge Woodburn will be sorely felt by his immediate neighbors, as well as by the, people of the whole county, for he was a valuable citizen a.nd a most upright officer. Judge W.’s ago, we believe, was 70 years. Peace to his ashes. • • - | Foster.

Resolved, That as members of the Court, we have occasion to regret his death, inas much as in his long judicial career, no one incident has ever occurred to cast a shadow upon his integrity, or to mar that kindness of feeling which should always exist between the bar and the bench, in their common pur pose of eliciting truth to promote justice.. Resolved, That as a mark of respect wo attend Ids funeral in a body. Resolved, That these resolutions bo commu nicated to the members of his family, and published in the papers of the county.

TRIBDI'E OF RESPECT. At a meeting of the members of the bar, beh THE GREAT, DEIUOCBITIC DEMONSTRATION IN CARLISLE. ' ' Tho 6th of October will over be remembered by tho countless thousands .who were in Car lisle,as one of the most extraordinary, as well as one of tho most gratifying to the patriots and lovers of Our country, that has ever, boon, -recorded in tho annals of our, county. Tho Democracy of Carlisle expected a fraternal greeting from some thousands of their breth ren from the various towns and townships, but they were not prepared for such an overwhel ming avnlancb ns commenced pouring in ear ly in tho morning and continued without in termission until noon. Every town and town ship in the county sent its delegation of Un ion-loving Democrats. They came like a con quering army, with banners, streamers and mottoes. They came by every possible means of conveyance’ —in wagons drawn by twenty, sixteen, twelve, ten, eight, six, four and two pairs of horses-—in carriages, tillburys, and buggies—on horseback and mule back—and not a few even on foot. ' By 11 o’clock our streets wore literally fill ed, the crowd being variously estimated at from 8,000 to 10,000! At this hour the Chief Marshal, Maj. John M’Cartnev, with the aid of his Assistants, Messrs. Wu. Noakeu, S. N. Eminger, John Campbell, Capt.. Thomas J. Kerr, Col. ifa. Wherrv, and Col. IJ. IV. M’Culloch, commenced the formation of the procession, and about 12 o’clock the line was completed, as far as practicable, (.several del egations not being able to. got in for want of room,) when a march was ordered. The pro cession was some three miles in length, and included wagons, carriages, horsemen, and. footmen, every wagon and carriage being fill ed to its utmost capacity, and the lino being as compact as convenience and safety would J admit. Besides the'.-solid masses in proces sion, there was a countless concourse of people who thronged the streota. All wore expecting to see an immense gathering of the gallant and invincible Democracy of tho/county, and certain it is that, none wont away disappoin ted, unless at tho unoqualed splendor of the parade, and the.unanticipated number of the multitude that greeted the eye. ' Jt is utterly Impracticable, by any language at our com mand, to conyoy to the reader a full descrip tion of this gloriousdemonatratiou. A score ; of witnesses would have failed to do justice to all who contributed to the magnitude, enthu siasm, and unallowed enjoyment of the occa sion. Everybody of'Democratic proclivities was not only gratified, but delighted. What ever oiii- Republican friends and their organs may say of the demonstration, it was unques tionably tho largest and most imposing politi cal gathering ever witnessed in Cumberland county. It but-npmbered the Republican Mass Meeting twenty to one. It was, indeed, a proud day for old Mother Cumberland. ORDER OP PROCESSION. The following was the order of procession, From the Centre Square .westward to West street; down W ost street southward to Pom-, fret street; along Forafrot eastward to Bedford street; up Bedford to Louthcr; along. Lou ther westward to North Ilanov.cr, street; up North Hanover to North street; along North.street [ westward: to _ Pitt 'street;..dp*n : Pitt streetj . , to Centre Square, where the procession wat dismissed.- ' THE: meeting, The meeting asseifablcd in the Court House Square,"where a etaml had been, erected, and was called to order by W.u. 11. Miller, Esq., chairman of the Committee of Arrangements, who nominated the following gentlemen as of ficers : President. DON. JOHN STUART, of South Middleton, Vine Presidents, John W. Cocklin, • . Robert Middleton, Esq, Allen Floyd; Thos. C. Scouller, Israel T. Boyer, George Struch, Wm. R. Govgas, M. G.'Reitzhoover, William Harper, Ahrm. Lamberton.Esq.

Peter Gutshail, Gen.Duey, John G. Ketterman, Michael Kosht, John B. Church, Thus. P. Blair, Esq., John Monro, Hugh Craig, Dr. Joan G. Barr. D. S. Dunlap. After being thus organized, tho lion. Wil- liam 11. Witte, of Philadelphia, was intro duced to the thousands before, him, and was received with cheer after cheer, and it was some time before order could be restored.— Mr. W. commenced , his speech, by thanking tho Democracy of Cumberland, for having in vited him to speak to them, aiul for tho friend ship they had manifested for him ort two oc casions when his name was mentioned for the cilice of Governor. Ho said hb never could forgot these .favors, and felt gratified that he had the opportunity to return liis thunks to his numerous friends in old Mother Cumber- land. Mr. W. continued to speak for upwards of an hour' and a-lialf, in a stylo of argument and oratory which has not been surpassed by any:speaker in. this section-of the State, dur ing this canvass. lie fortified the principles of the Democratic party at every point, allow ing by arguments which no amount of sophis- try can resist, that they are in strict accord ance with the American Constitution,and that they comprise the only basis by which this government can be supported. Democrats are friends of law and order; they believe in supporting all tlio compromises of the consti tution, and in submitting like law-abiding oit-. izons to the decisions of the court. No or gnuizod society would bo safe which allows every citizen to bo his own judge whether to submit to the laws under which he fives, or rebel against them. One man, said the speaker, may claim that his conscience is op posed to my holding a slave, and another may say I have no right to own a horse, and an other still may undertake to dispossess mo of the land, which I have bought and paid for;' Mr. Wjtib exposed the deception of the Republicans in thoir attempt to moke capital out of the jjarijT question! and proved, to the satisfaction of all, that t)io opponents of the Democratic party Lad mido it a rule, to, sup port free-trade men for office —that they wore doing so now, and had done so before. lie was listened to with breathless attention by the largo audience who cohld gotwitbin sound of his yoicei and tho verdict of numerous good judges was that his was tho best address they had heard during tho campaign. It was a capital speech, and told with excellent effect upon all who heard it with candid cars. Citaules W. Cabtmgan; I3sq., of . Philadel phia, was next introduced, and was received with three-times three. lie commenced his speech "by complimenting the Democracy of Cumberland for the seffl they manifested in tho present campaign, and assured them that Henrv D.. Foster Was worthy their most strenuous-exertions. ...The speaker then re viewed the flimsy arguments used by tho Re publicans for tho election of Lincoln, and showed that his own party Were ignorant of his history, and of tho pointlossnoss of tho ar guments they use in his favor. They give him tho credit of assisting John Hanks to split 3000 rails in ayodr, where, an ordinary workman would do it in fifteen days. Tho Republicans claim great credit for Lin coln as a legislator, but not oho in fen can toll the precise time When ho was a member of the Illinois' legislature; and they speak of his being so popular that'fif'one election ho car ried almost all the votes in his county, but omit to state that at the very next election lie was overwhelmingly beaten by Peter Cart wright. - , Mr. C. continued to speak for nearly two hoursl His speech Was a master effort, abounding in solid argument and, sparkling; wit. During the delivery of his speech he was. frequently.- interrupted, with . cheers, and when he had concluded‘the earth fairly shook with the tramp and busjasof tho people. It was now nearly dark, and tho large and imposing meeting adjourned, and the diffei - - ent delegations commenced their lino of inarch for their homes. THE EVENING MEETING, About 7 o’clock in tl(d evening a train of eleven cars arrived from Harrisburg, with Jive ,or six hundred Fusier men. Our Harris burg friends were'met at the east end of the town by, the Carlisle Foster Club, with torches and banners, and a procession," a. mile in length, was immediately formed, which'para-' dedpur. principal streets*, At length the pro cession halted in Court House Square,'and a meeting was organized jty the nppointmentpf Abraham L.ijimEttTON,.Esq., of Middlesex, as President. Tuos. M. Biddle, Esq., of Philadelphia, was. then introduced, arid Was received with every demonstration, of joy by his numerous friends and acquaintances, . ” Toni” is a great favorite with the Democracy hero, and if he were to speak every night in the week, they would never get .tired of hearing him. His speech on this- occasion, was one of his host efforts. Ho traced the course of Abolitionism from its rise,-and showed that its influence had al ways been detrimental to the peace and i enlargement'. of the country, placing it in such i ieonixrUv>. v ' J renuiro file' Ij , sfer, Olay, Cassrand-JTmgha, to devise a safe 8 plan for. s*B> extivcatiriii Worn, the perils by which it was surrounded. "The speaker was frequently cheered, and was congratulated, by 3 his numerous friends when he had concluded. 1 C. D. llinbliXe, Esq. 1 , the able editor of the , Harrisburg Sentinel, (in. the- temporary, ab_ , sonce of Mr.' A. L. Snowden, of Philadelphia, • who had been announced ns the next speaker,) took the-stand, and made one of Ids inimitable and characteristic speeches. ‘’Charley” is an impulsive and forcible speaker, and his address before the Democracy of Cumberland on Saturday evening, will be long remembered. (Just as Mr. Hineliue was about concluding, a fire broke out in the large stable attached to Mr. Glass’ hotel, and of course the meeting , was compelled, to adjourn without hearing Mr. Snowden speak. All regretted this, for young Snowden is a gentleman possessing fine oratorical powers, and hundreds of his friends from the country had remained in town for the express purpose of hearing him. And snph was the “ Big Meeting.” We re gret our ability to describe it as it really was, and still more do we rogref that wo cannot do justice to the different-townships fpr the mag nificent turn-out and display they made. Old Silver Spring was here in her glory, about 000 strong, with a team' of twenty hag horses,, and scores of wagons and carriages.' Upper Dick inson turned out a tremendous force. We no ticed a team of sixteen hcmitij'ul gregr, follpwef by other wagons and vehicles, of a mile i: length. ■ Newvillo District sent a very large delegation, "and presented a beautiful appea rance. Monroe and the Aliena mustered strong, and carried several bountiful banners. Shippensburg and Wept Pennsboroiigb-sent fine delegations. Meehaniosburg, Hampden, East Pennsborough, and Middlesex, were .not behind in making up'the crowd. North and South Middleton towpdiipscovered themselves with glory, and turned-out almost to a man. Lower Dickinson and Prankford added their hundreds. Hopewell, Jacksonville and Lees burg also contributed largely to swell the throng. Indeed, all-thq townships and towns were welt represented," and all are entitled to credit. We write this article, on Monday (the day before the election,) and of course with no knowledge of what the result of the election will ho. But, be what it may, whether for or against nsT wS felt it our duty to give a fair history of this grand and imposing mooting, for, beyond question, it was the largest gath ering our people ever witnessed. The Pennsylvania Oil Trade, The im portance of tho oil'wells in the interior of our State, is probably not-yet estimated. The yield of some of these Springs is enormous. At a well recently opened nt Tidoout, Erie county, the flow is sai|f to bo one barrel' per minute. Tho oil is wofth," at tho lowest esti mate, $l4 per "barrel, -which would make tho yield of this single wijll worth over $20,0 00 per day. There are multitudes of these oily fountains now running, and tho amount of wealth they are bringing is enormous. Our State was, before the discovery, the richest in internal resources of apy in the, Union, and this new soured of profit idmdding much and rapidly to oujf'-wealth. A i Odb County Fair commenced yesterday. ■pltiuniie agricnltnra Pirn i ; ~1 The Best Mode of OrflOS ’ampkins. Wo love pumpkin pies', ovenjwhen there is • ah abundance of tree fruits. I fo bavo trie i nil modes of drying, but no plai lis, we think, equal to tho one wo recommend so a year ago, and which w 6 have recently tried on a larger scale than hitherto. It is this; Take the ripe pumpkins, pare-, out into small pieces, stew ’soft, mash and strain through a colander, as if for making pies. Spread this pulp on plates in layers, Hot quite half an inch thick; dry it down in tho stove oven, kept at so low a'temperature as not to scorch it. In about a’ day it, will become dry and crisp. The shoots thus made can be stowed away in a dry place, and they are always ready for uso for pics or sauce. Soak the pieces over night in a little milk, and will they return to a pulp, ns delicious as a fresh- pumpkin-—wo think much more so. The quick drying after cook ing prevents any portion from slightly sour ing, as is always, the case when tho uncooked pieces arc dried; '.the flavor is much bettor preserved, and the after-epoking is saved. ’l*iu3 plan is quite as. little trouble ns the old , mode, to say nothing of the superiority in tho quality of material obtained. Try it, and you will not return to the old method wo are sure, and you will also become a greater lover of pumpkin pio- “the year round,” and feel less the loss of the fruit crop. Late Sows Wheat. —A Kentucky paper, writes fh o, Louisville Corn ier that he thinks farmers in his-section, spw their wheat too ear ly, as early sown wheat is move liable to inju ry from, the Hessian fly. This is true, but with ns late sown wheat is more liable to in jury from- the midge—and so we have to steer between these two evils ns much as possible, lie states that fob the last five years ho lias sown his wheat after tho 15th of October —last year front the 18th to the 28th—and in all these years he hasTievor misied a good crop. While his neighbors were “ complaining of fly, freezing out and rust, lie has escaped all, producing -from twenty to thirty-five bushels of good bright wheat to tho acre." He sows with a drill. Bon. ED CORN FOR lloos AND STOCK.: —Will. Van Loom, writing to thoiVairie Farmer, says that he has practiced feeding Boiled corn to his etock and, hogs, and is “satisfied that, he saves one-half his grain, and gains as much more in time;” that one bushel of corn on the cob,'boiled, will produce its much pork as two fed raw, and in one-half the time, In one ex-, ■perinlont, ho fed. three bushels of boiled.corn, per day, to 27 hogs, for ton- days.. The aver age gain was two pounds per day. He then fed the same lot of bogs on three bushels of raw corn per day for twenty days; they gain ed only a trifle over , one pound per day.— Such experiments, continued, for bo short a time, are not reliable, ' . . Brea king Prairie La.vd,—M. L. Duulap, in the Illinois Farmer, advocates t\ia use of the Michigan double plow, for breaking up prairie laud. .. lie has tried it, and with good results. The land can bo plowed, with this plow', at anytime when the frost is, out, as late ns November in the.faU, or as early as March n the spring. lie thinks the' prairie, should Jh'reoJir.fnur .inches. : Buckwueat Straw.— 3. A. Hubbard, wr: ting to, tho JV; JE. 'Farther from’ a locality in Maine whore this grain is extensively grown, says that, buckwheat straw “is injurious to young pigs, anil if they lay in it, it will set them crazy and they will finally die; ,It Is h irtfultohogsand young stock to run through, it when green, making their head and cars sore-and itch very much.” Is this so? Look to the Chests of vour Animals.—A lato Writer says that a wide, deep chest in all animals, is an indication of robust constituti on, and is, no doubt, the point of slilipe to which breeders should look when selecting either males or females. It is not enough that q bull or cow should show a wide, full breast in front, but tho width, should extend back along tho brisket, and show itself just under and between the elbows. Fullness through the region, of tho heart is Indispensable in eith er sex. Feeding Turnips to Cows.—“ If this is done, says tho American Farmer, “morning and evening, immediately after milkimr. no taste of turnips will be discei-mbTe in the but ter. We have heard this before, and would like to know if it is a fact. ■■ ' A New Steam Plow.— At the St. Louis Ag -1 ricultural i air a steam plow was on exhibition ■Tim Democrat of the2B ult, says of it: This steam plow was made at Hannibal, Mo., and has beon.brought tliehoo toour-o-roat lair. ■ It was built last spring, by Messrs. Stoan & Boberts, upon which is claimed.as, a new principle, that of applying tho locomo tivo power near tho periphery of the wheels, ulr, Hubert L. sten-n, the first 'above ■ ririnicd is the inventor, and has filed an application lor a patent in tho case.. Tho machine weighs seven tons, and is twenty feet long by ten wide, while the forward wheels are twenty m mclies width. It is guaranteed to plow thirty acres of land in a day—and tho san-mine managers believe it capable of. plowing forty t’ha steam plow left -Hannibal at 11 ("dock, a. in., Monmiy last, on a barge, rigged : with paddles, which the steam wagon was made to,move! Ibis is a c rious combination, in winch a bavgo carries a wagon, and the wa-nm propels the barge. The odd hormaphro-craft excited much suspicious auguring among the boatmen on tho river, despite which it arrived duly at o o'clock, Monday evening. Tho wag on being at last eliminated from the- barge first “astonished the natives” on Can- street’ yesterday morning.—lt then took up its march lor the fair grounds, passing down Broadway and out Wash street, and causing much more astonishment than tho PrinpoofWales himself Being a wagon of twenty-horse power, it of course, found no difficulty, in getting, along Tho Cincinnati Press publishes the follow. ing remedy for tho cure ofdiptheria, a disease which has thus far seemed to sot at nought tho skill of our host physicians“ In the early stages of tho complaint, which is always accompanied by a soreness and swelling of the throat, let the patient use a simple solution of salt and water, as a- gargle, every fifteen min utes.
