Judging from eeivod, Curtin’s majoi Cumberland County- Official.— By refer ence to our table, published in another col umn, tho majorities appear as follows: Henry D, Foster, for Governor, over An drew G. Curtin, 91; Jos. Daily, for Congress, over B. F. Junkin, 11; Irvine, for Assem bly, over Shearer, 125, oyer PoYvcr, 205, over Louther, 239; Shearer over Power, 80; over . Louther, 114; Miller, for County Commis sioner, over Megaw, 701;. Duke, for I’rothon otary, over Ferree, 50; Floyd, for Clerk of tho Courts, Over Sollouberger, 104 ; Brady, for Register, over Thompson, 23; Miller, for Di rector of the Poor, over Sheafer, 171; Dunlap, for Auditor, over Eyster, 2. It will be seen by the above that the Demo crats carried the county for Governor and Congress, and elected the Prothonotary and Clerk of the Courts, had—that’s all. • the Governor. —Governor Packer has appointed Saul. Wherry, Esq., of Southampton township, Associate Judge for this county, in place of Judge Woodburn, deceased; This is an excellent appointment, ond will give general satisfaction-. Indeed, all tho gentlemen spoken of for this position were competent, worthy, and deserving, and it would have been impossible for the Govern or to have made amistake in the appointment. SSS“ The Perry County Democrat indignant ly denies that the Douglas men cut Daily, and it goes on to show that in Sandy Hill Dis. triot, where but two Douglas men can be coun ted; Daily was cat thirty votes. W}! “ rather guess” Daily was betrayed by members of both wings of the patty in Perry. Junkin bad plenty of money furnished him by the Re publican State Committee, and this was the ■ argument used against Daily when all other . arguments failed. Old York.—We feel like making our best Taw td old Democratic York. She has elected Daily to Congress, and gave Gen. Foster a proud majority. Well done, old Democratic York; All, honor to her sturdy Democracy. ; Democratic Success in Dauphin. — ln the midst of the general disaster, the Democracy of Dauphin hare achieved a local triumph of which they may be proud. They have elected Dr. Lewis Heck, a firm Democrat, to the Leg islature, over John Wallowor, Jr., and helped to elect Jacob D. Boas, Esq., Independent Sheriff, over Jacob D. Hoffman, the Republi can candidate. This is a signal and deserved rebuke to the leaders and managers of the Republican party in that county.*’ 1856—1860. In. 1856 we had nearly every vote out, in Cumberland county. Mr. Buchanan receiv ed 3427; and Fremont and Fillmore combin ed, received ,3037. Total number of votes cast 6464. At the late election Foster receiv ed 3716 votes, or, 289 more than Mr. Buchan an received in 1856; Curtin received 3625 votes, or, 588 more than Fillmore and Fre mont received in 1856. Total increase in the vote in four years, 877! Something wrong. There certainly has not been this increase of voters in our county since 1856. No one can account for the increase—there is no cause for it; on the contrary, previous to the election it was generally predicted that, owing to the hundreds of men who have loft our county du. ring the last four years, our. vote would , fall short of the vote cast in 1856. How comes this tremendous increase, then? Has frjjud been practiced, or have wb had strangers col onized in our county for the purpose of voting the Black Republican ticket? We repeat, there is something wrong—no doubt about it. ; The Curtin Club; or Wide-Awakes. of Carlisle, according to the Herald , held their last meeting at the polls, whore “ every mem ber made a speech for himself,” on Tuesday, October 9. It was not in very good taste, we think, in bur neighbor calling attention to the result in our borough. Here in Carlisle, is the ▼cry place where the Democrats boarded the Black Republican lion in his den. Hero the Foster Club effected a complete organization, and bid defiance to their opponents. Hero, where our unscrupulous adversaries boasted that Curtin would have a majority of 75 or 100, wo gave Foster - 09.1 All honor to the Democrats of Carlisle— they performed mira cles; the speech, (/icy made at the polls must have convinced the Republican orators (save the mark!) and “leaders” of Carlisle, that their efforts and their speeches wore not ap preciated or believed by a discriminating peo pie. No Carlisle Wide-Awake need expect favors at the hands of Curtin. They first tried to cheat him out of his nomination, and bad no power to protect him at the polls.— Curtin will regard them as men of no ac count, and will treat them accordingly. ' Lecture. —The distinguished' traveler and •writer, Bayard Taylor, will deliver a lecture in Rheeh'S Hall, in this place, on Tuesday evening, October, 23. Subject, "Moscow." — Mr. Taylor* has traveled nearly over the world, and no dbubthis lecture will be very interesting; OCR DEFEAT IN TUB STATE.. The Democracy of Pennsylvania have mot ,a, Waterloo, defeat. Two weeks before the election we folt confident, of the. success of Gen. Foster ; but, ns the day of battle dp proachod, wo confess wb had our misgivings. >ve noticed that pur opponents were ndmira ,bly organized in every, county and every township. ■ They had plenty of money, too, (furnished them by their State Executive Com mittee,) which they used to purchase uniforms for their Wide Awake companies, and to buy up the venal. They had arrangements made everywhere for getting their men to the polls, and thus they wore enabled to poll their full vote. Indeed, they used every effort, fair and foul, to carry the Stato for Curtin, and they succeeded;’even beyond their own most san guine, expectations. ■ The Democracy, on the other hand, were disorganized, and besot with difficulties. The dispute about the Presidency paralyzed tho party, and gave encouragement to tho com mon enemy. ■ Our meetings and our speeches failed to heal the broach, and wq went into the contest disheartened and with little pros pect of success., After Gen. Foster took the stump,, our hopes revived, it is true, but yet tho result shows that the heart-burnings in our own ranks were carried to tire polls. The fact is, wo found it utterly impossible to or ganize our party in tho different counties. Our State Executive Committee was without a cent in its treasury, and half the members of our party appeared in a bad humor, and . always ready'to dispute with a brother Dom . dcrat on the subject of.the Presidency. De feat stared us in tho face from the day the division took place in tho Rational Democratic Convention. On that day we remember we wrote to a friend in, Washington, and we pre dicted to him that tho breaking up of the Baltimore Convention would ruin ns in Penn sylvania, and defeat us by 20,000. As the contest for Governor progressed, we fqft, confi dent that wo had made a wrong prediction. But yet tho result shows that wo were more than ton thousand below the mark in estima ting our defeat. Tho disruption of tho Nn. tional Convention, and the nomination (both irregular,) of two candidates for the Presidon [ ey, gave our enemies confidence, and dishear tened our friends. From that hour to the day of the election, the Douglas men and Breck iNßinaE men made.war upon each other; The. common enemy, notwithstanding the broad sides we received from their batteries, were almost forgotten in tho civil strife that was going on in our own ranks. -Wo have been defeated—routed, horse, foot and dragoons, and have ourselves to blame for it. When wo permit disputes to disorganize us, and indulge in criminations and recriminations, wo must expect defeat as d matter of course. ,We may possibly learn wisdom from the lesson we have received 14.

Wo call upon you, fellow-citizens, to rally around the old Democratic flag, and prepare for , the contest in November. If wise'councils prevail in Pennsylvania, we arc satisfied that the old Keystone can be carried against Lincoln in November. “ Pick your flints, boys, and try it again I” Death op Old Soldiers. —On Friday last says the MecTianicsburg Journal of the 11th inst., an aged and respected citizen of Mon roe township departed this life. Mr. Peter Phillips served in the war of 1812-14 as a Lieutenant in Captain Hendel’s Company, Pennsylvania Volunteers. _His -years were nearly four-score, and his life was marked' by an upright and consistent course. For the last ten years ho received a pension from the Government. Mr. David Ebbrly, another aged and re spected defender of his country, is ho more, having died at his residence, in Cumberland county, on Sunday last. He was also a Lieu tenant in the war of 1812. Peace to their ashes 1 Js@y* There are now eight different kinds of Post-Ofiico stamps, namely: one, three, five, ten, twelve, twenty-four, thirty and ninety cents.' - . BAIL! ELECTED! Below we give the official vote for Congress in this district. It will bo seen that Mr. Baily is elected by 358 majority. This is a much closer shave than we expected! But; under the circumstances, we feel “ thankful , < ■ / for small favors," and glad to bo able to an nounce the defeat of Junkin.' By a compari son of Daily's vote with Foster’s, it appears he was cut by 441 Democrats in the district, viz—in Perry he runs bohirjd Foster 264 votes; in Cumberland 44 votes, and in York 133 votes —total less than Foster, 441 votes; How comes this ?. hundreds are asking. To us it is a mystery. We have received a num ber of letters from intelligent men in both Perry and York, assuring us that Baily was struck by a number of the “straight-out Dou glas men.” If this was the game played in those counties, we suppose the same influence was used against Baily hero in. Cumberland, but to a limited extent. But, wo repeat, we have no knowledge of the conspiracy, or of the men engaged in it, notwithstanding wo have our suspicions. The following is the official vote in the District: Baily. Junkin, Cumberland, 3672 3661 Perry, 1864 2646 York, 6533 5404 12069 „ 11711 11711 ’ : Baily’s raaj Our Representative District.— Below wo publish the official vote for menibers of As sembly cast in this District; ■■ .9 hearer.

It has given new energy to the conservative movement in Now York Should wo carry New York, Lincoln may “ hang his harp on the willows”— and all the indications are encouraging. The' Democratic .State Executive ComifiitCcC; Wo publish'below tho proceedings' of the Democratic State Executive Committee,'which met at'Reading job Friday last. :i'lt willJje perceived that, almost with entire unanimity, they hrivo rescinded the action of the 2d of duly, at Philadeiphio, and of the 9tli of Au gust, at-Crossiin, and determined to stand by tho Rending Elcctorhl.Tiokot, pure and intact/ without any conditions or qualifications.— This says the Lancaster Intelligencer, vias tlvs very best tiling the Committee could do,-and every true Democrat should feel in dpty bound to.support tbc ticket. . The. Committee, at their former meetings, in their anxiety ty keep tho party , together and secure the election of Gen.- Foster, offered concessions and compromises, which were Only offered to be refused by a few noisy and disorganizing Spirits, principally at Harrisburg and Philadelphia, who appear de termined to rulo.oy ruin the party. , The quos tion is now a simple one. Stripped of all com promises dnd contingonoios, the Democracy of the. State are called upon to.vote the Reading Electoral Ticket just gs the State Convention .left it. Those who do not vote it are, Of course, against regular nominations: Reading, Oct. 12,. 1800. A meeting of the Democratic State Execu tive Committee was hojd to-day, at the Demo cratic Club Room, in this city. The meeting was called to order by the Chairman, Mr. Win. 11l Welsh, at-11 o’clock. . Upon the-calling of tho roll, forty-one mem bers answered to their names. Upon the Chairman announcing that the Committee was ready to proceed to business, Capt. Alfred Day offered the following reso lution; Bcsolvcd, That this Committee do hereby rescind its action at Philadelphia on the 2d day of <July, and at Cresson on.the 9th day of August last, and that We recommend to tho Democratic party of PennsyWania to stand by the electoral ticket , made at Reading'by the Democratic State Convention on tho Ist of March. 1800. . To which Mr. Isaac -Leech offered the fol lowing amendment: Whereas, It is the duty of all Union-loving and conservative citizens to unite in such manner ns will beat prevent the election of the sectional candidates, Lincoln and Ham lin ; and as it is believed that there are a ma jority of voters in the State of Pennsylvania who are opposed to the hostile and aggressive doctrines of the Republican party; therefore, be it , ■ ' ; Resolved, That the electoral ticket formed at Rending, oh the first day of March last be submitted to the voters of Pennsylvania for .the votes of all conservative citizens opposed to the election of Lincoln, provi ded that each elector -vyill pledge himself in writing, within ton days from this date, that in the event of his election as an elector, ho will cast his vote for President and Vioe Pres ident in such a manner ns tho Reading. Co nvention, re-assembled fof such purpose on tho, 20th day of November, may direct, whether it be for Douglas and Jobdston, Breckinridge and Lane, or Bell and Everett.. Resolved, That believing that there is a do-, cided majority of the voters of. this State hos- tile to scetionalispij and the election of the sectional candidates, Lincoln and Hamlin, we call upon them to forego pastdifferences, and to unite as the conservative Union and Con stitutional party in support of the ticket here, presented. ’ Resolved, That the place of any oho declin ing to give the required plcdgo may be filled with one who will give such pledge to the State. Central Committee, who shall assemble: at this place on October: 23d, at 10 o’clock’, A.M. : ■ . ■ .Mr. Carrigan offered the following amend ment to the amendment; " Resolved, That a committee of five from, this committco.be appointed to meet the com-: mittoe of the'same number lately appointed froin and by the State Committee of the Con stitutional-Union party, of this State,-to con fer on the subject of a.joint electoral ticket, the determination of said committee of five to bo reported to the Democratic State Commit tee for their acceptance or rejection. The State Committee to assemble at the call of the chairman thereof. Upon a votp being had. both the. amend ments were lost, and the question recurring upon the original motion, it was adopted with scarcely a dissenting voice. . Oh motion the Committee then adjourned. The Tonnage Tax Constitutional.— The Supreme Court of Pennsylvania, now in ses sion at Sunbury, have delivered an opinion af firming the decision of Judge Pearson, of Dau phin county, in.the suit against the Pennsyl vania Railroad Company for the tonnage tax overdue. Judge Pearson decided the tax to be constitutional, and tho Supreme Court, in affirming tho decision, have thus settled that point against tho Railroad. Company. A con siderable amount of money, withheld by the Company until this question’should bo deci ded, is now duo the State, and will doubtless bo paid without delay. Hamlin and Old Soldiers. — Congressional -GUhc, Vol. 26, page 1094. Mr. Hamlin vo ted against Mr- Brodhcad’s amendment giv ing the soldiers of the war of 1812, 160 acres of land, which passed however without his vote. Vol. 30, page 563. Ho voted against an amendment, which provided that tho surviving soldiers who; in any of tho wars in which this country has beoif engaged, performed military services against the public enemy, though not regularly mustered into tho service of tho United States, and the widows and children of such soldiers, shall bo entitled to all the benefits of tho first section of tho Bounty Land Act, This also passed without his vote.

Neoro “ Wide Awakes.” —The Bepublica. ns of Chelsea, Massachusetts, had a process ion on Wednesday night, and among the clubs in line were the “ Attucks Wide Awakes,” composed entirely of negroes. Hon. John A. Andrew', the Republican candidate for Gov ernor, honored them by taking his place in the the line, just in their rear, the mayor of, the city, and other “ white folks” following. These facts wo take from the Boston Atlas, Republi can. Some enterprising citizens of Osoalop ta, Kansas, recently made a wind wagon and started out for a ride on the prairies. The wind was high, and they found that in har nessing the children of Aolus and Boreas to their machine, they had much miscalculated their powers, as the my theological genius who ambitiously attempted to drive the char iot of the sun, and made a magnificent fail ure. They could not hold their invisiblebor scs, which ran away with the vehicle at the , rate of forty miles an hour, smashed it all to 1 pieces, and suffered them to escape within an (moh of their lives,. In att artiolo in the Philadelphia jJVm Saturday last, wo find the following sentence.:' •■• r vr/,- ■ ■ The BophbJloan parly have just achieved a roagnificout bfiuniuhi and in' the joy with which thoyhttUthis triumph THEY HAVE THE SYMP/®HY OF THOUSANDS OF HONES? DEMOCRATS.” ' ’ And In the same article, speaking of the contested eioctibh case of Wn.t.iAuE. Lehman, who jt is said has been defrauded out of his certificate of. election to Congress, from.the First District, the editor in appealing to tho Republicans.to givo.Mr. L. the seat, says: They [the Republicans],cannot afford to stain'their victory with fraud;, They cannot afford to nsaist in strikingdown, by the basest agents, s«■ men -.who have/ stood ‘in the fore front iit opposition to Mr„Bunhahnn and hii •administration ; AND TO WHOM,' IN A LARGE DEGREE, THEY ARE INDEBTED FOR THE RESULT OVER WHICH THEY ARE NOW EXULTING.” Comment bri the above is unnocossary. Wo have emphasized those portions to which wo specially invito .public attention,. and leave our intelligent readers to form their own con clusions as'to who are the “thousands of hon est Democrats’! that sympathize in the Re publican triumph; and also WHO are the men to whom, ip a large degree, the “Repub licans are indebted for the triumph over which they arc how exulting.” . The Prince of Wai.es. —This young gen-; tlemao—the future King of ' England,' if he outlives his mother—after visiting Washing ton City, the Tomh of Washington nt Mount Vernon, and other attractions, in the South, wended his.way to Baltimore, and from tjienee to Philadelphia, where ho arrived on the eve ning of the 9th inst. lie remained there un til the ilth, and then left for New York, whore ho still was at the last accounts. Everywhere ho met with those courtesies and marks of re spect duo to his eminent position, and wo sup pose will leave our shores with a better knowl edge and a higher, opinion of our institutions than ho had before leaving England. “ On! Isn’t he a Bar lino !”— ln addition to the vote of Mr. Lincoln for the resolutions of Geo. Ashman, offered in Congress during the Mexican War, which declared that , war was wrong, uhjust and unconstitutional,. Harper’s Weekly, in a biography of that in dividual, says that Old Abo voted against a bill granting one hundred and sixty acres of land to each of Hie volunteers xcho served in it! lie thus sought to visit his wrath upon the patriotic men, who at the’call of their coun try marched to the battle-field. This act was worthy of a tory of the American Revolution. In Lincoln’s brief public life, he never did a patriotic acti; ,I’alk about such a man being, one of the people ! It is nonsense and worse than that. Ilo.hatcs the people, and all his public hotshaye proved it. “ Oh! isn’t he a a darling I!’ s; ’ ,■ [l3* The’death of General Walker has not given the quietus to fillibuatering. General llenningsen| a late assbSfate of the' deceased chief, has written a long letter, eulogising Walker, Magnifying the “ihissioh” pM which pe wont to Honduras, and denouncing, in vig orous English, the.infamohe conduct .of Cap tain Salra6ii, : ., .iilsd ex presses thy convictlpn that the “ good : cause” lives.” '’ So,fir fro m.fl 11 ib us ter ing bei hgdead, he pays it may bo safely predicted that fro™ every drop of blood shed,’amidst the cheers of the natives, will spring up another ardent fillibuster. BOT At the coming Presidential election the people of thASfatp of Now York are; to vote upon a proposed'amendment, of the Constitu tion permitting colored persona to vote with out the property clause, which at present re stricts-the exercise of the elective franchise, t 6 those who own real estate of not leas than $250 in value. In view of this fact an ad dress has been issued by the “New York,Suf frage Committee,” urging the colored people of the, city, to organize for the purpose of maintaining their rights. |The Committee is composed of colored men.. •; An Arkansas Difficulty;—Three Men Killed.— A letter dated Van Burcn, Ark., Oct. 13, says;—After a regimental muster which was hold hero to-day, a difficulty oc curred, during which three inen, Rufus and .Jackson, brothers, and Richard Covington, a son of the latter, wore killed by two brothers named Silas and-Ben. Edwards. Several others were badly out and injured on both sides. An old feud existed between the' par ties, but the Edwardses, who have long been the terror of this part ,of the State, wore the; ag gressors. . ■ • ; While they were trying to make their es cape, they were overtaken a short distance from town by the constable ,and his posse and lodged in, the jail., A largo crowd nearly succeeded in : taking tho prisoners from the constable and hanging them upon the street. They afterwards surrounded the jail for that purpose, but were finally pacified. The peo ple are very much excited, and it is feared that the prisoners will yet ho lynched. The affair was one of thoipost atrocious that over occurred hero. The rumor that an attempt had boon made upon the lifejif tho Emperor Napoleon has not been confirmed by the late intelligence received from Europe. It may have been a hoax gotten up by the London papers to grat ify that intense feeling of self-satisfaction which pervades all English minds, and espe cially when they think of tho lot of their neighbors across the channel. But it is diffi cult to state positively, for wo know that any report of that nature, whether true or false, is studiously hushed; by the authorities. ‘ The, Negro, More Valuable than the Union.— The slaveholder places a high value oh the negro, but the Black Republican pla ces a higher,. The master values him at a thousand or fifteen hundred dollars, but tho Black Republican-Tallies him above tho Un ion, which ho would destroy! to emancipate him.

A Singular Case. —The case of Thompson, now under Sentence of death in Philndelplra presents a singular phase and one which, probably, has never happened before in any court in the world. Some months ago Judge passed sentence of death on John Capio, who was clearly convicted of murder in the first degree.' Through some influence, he obtained a pardon from the Governor and was sot at liberty. Continuing his bad habits 1 and frequenting his bad haunts, Capie became involved in some difficulty with Thompson; who, in, turn, murdered the murderer. We now have tho singular spectacle of a Judge, who sentenced one man to be hung, passings like sentence on another for murdering, the one it was formerly passed upon, and both undoubtedly justly condemned to tho gallows. Truly .this'was blood-for blood. Death of Rembrandt Peale. —Rembrandt Poajo, the artist,'died in Philadelphia oh the 4th inst., in his 83d year. Notwithstanding his great age, ho retained his mental faculties unimpaired, and even pursued the study of his favorite art until about the last year of his life.. Among the productions of his pon cil is the portrait of Washington, pronounced to bo tho best likoness.of Washington over ta ken, and now adorning tho Senate Chamber of the United States. The Tea Plant.— The A r . E. Farmer says the progress of aocliinntizing tho tea plant, so far as heard from, is favorable, and there is reason to believe, that it can be grown in tho open air south of the Northern lino of North Carolina and Tennessee. Eighteen thousand plants have been sent into tho Southern reg ion, and eight thousand more have boon dis tributed to persons in the Northern States owing green-houses, ns objects of curiosity. There are some grown, for the latter purpose, in this city. BSy Banks, of Massachusetts, has been made a Dpctor of. Laws. It is done, says an Eastern paper, because ho has doctored tho laws of Massachusetts till they won’t lot a white foreigner vote there till two years after ho has been naturalized, while they put a ne gro through without winking. The Fruits os. Black Republicanism.— ln Ohio a Black Republican Judge, Briukerhoff, has given a decision that makes fourteen tho usand negro voters. Brinkorhoff was a candi date for re-election, and depended, upon these fourteen thousand for his success. As Ohio has gone Black Republican by a largo major ity, we suppose he is safe. .. , ' Tho Lincolnites say much against those who do not fully agree on political questions com bining to support the some electoral ticket. How much more consistent they ape in tnelr political nctiop, tho following, front the Phil adelphia Conifer, will show: !; ; , Hamlin the Free-trader.— WillMr. Ham lin give the friends ,of protection a written, pledge that in the event of Lincoln’s death, ho will recommend a Protective Tariff? In New York, the elector at the head of the list insists that the Black Republican platform is opposed to a tariff. Mr. Hamlin himself has always boon about as ultra a free-trader os ever Mr. Calhoun was.; Hence in Pennsyl vania and Now Jersey, whore so many tariff men are enlisted in the 'Republican cause, it is but fair.and proper thatsuch a pledge should bo given. ■ ’■■■' -*Jtioob S.

Oct. 8, 18CQ.—r Whereas, By the act of 3d March, 1855, the postage upon all letters,- except such as are entitled to pass free between iplacos_ in the United States, is required to bo prepaid; and whereas,' the Deportment; through courtesy, lias hitherto, otii considerable labor'and ex pense,.notified the parties addressed, m all in stances in which thoi writer failed to prepay, that their letters would bo forwarded on re ceiving tho postage due thereon ; and whereas, instead of qimimshing, the number of such letters continues to increase, thus showing that tho -omission to prepay is intentional, it is therefore ordered- that,from and after the first day of November, 1800, all sUati unpaid letters he sent to the Dead-Letter Office, to be disposed , o f in like m eaner as other dead letters. 3.

The Boston Courier, speaking of the immense yield, says: , The land is full of apples. Every orchard has produced ah abundance/. It lias boon a year of great plenty, and if apples would only keep-as grain keops,.we should have enough of this year’s, product to; supply us, through seven years of apple famine. .But unfortu nately they perish -with the year* in which they were grown, and the: question is an im portant one; with farn'icrsi what shall wo do with the apples? They can’t be marketed,,a' fourth of them. The markets are glutted.—- Many farmers are glqd to fake a dollar a bar rel for picked fruit., Thousands of barrels can bo bought at t]vat riito in- tluMpitncd vu.-i ,- : ity of Boston. - Fifty retail, would secure sales of..more-than 7ojr ti’inrs the average annual sales of the last ten years, and doubtless the price will .come down to that. ■ “ Ta r.i.

Formerly they used a grappling hook and horsepower,'which at four “ grabs” would carry a largo load to the, top of the building; now they have no use for it. . B®“ Some Irishmen, at Detroit, had an in terviow with the Prince of Wales, and became so enthusiastic, that one of them shouted, “ Bo dad, *me back hero four years from now, and we’ll run you for President.” ' Thomas Jefferson once said, tlmt “the old federalists would at some future day at tempt to get in power by stealing the name of republican.” The fulfilment of the prophecy has been reserved for our day and generation. A Milwaukie quill-driver has stopped out of the editorial traces, and become a con ductor on a horse railroad; It is presumed' that the reason was that ho wanted to handle money a little.
