Tuesday, November 6.,^ ELECTORAL TICKETS.—The genuine Democratic Electoral Ticket is now printed, and may he had at this office. We shall bo happy to supply all our friends, and would advise-them to get their tickets in time, so as to guard agamst being cheated by the spuri ous ticket, that has been put in circulation. Baltimore College or Dental Surgery.— The Chair of Practise of Dental Surgery, made vacant by thq,decease of Dr. Chapin A. Har ris, the late'President of the Baltimore Col lege of Dental Surgery, has been filled by the appointment of Dr. Ferdinand J. S. Gorgas, formerly of Carlisle. This gentleman has hfeenJorsome years connected with this In stifutiott as one of its Demonstrators. He’ thus brings to the discharge of his new duties, iii addition/to Ha skill as an operator, much expcrience-as a teacher. Professor Austen, the Dean of the Faculty,,has been assigned the duty of teaching the Principles of Dental Science, which formed part of the Chair of the late Presidents Beet Cattle. —During the last ten days, a large number, of droves of fine beef cattle have passedrthrough the southern section of our borough, on their way to the Philadelphia and New Torfc markets. These droves come principally from the Western Slates, hut many ore from Western Virginia and Pennsylvania. Oar butchers have seenred a goodly number of fine beeves, and we may expect to have in our market, during the winter, prime beef, and at reasonable prices. Many droves of ■took cattle have also arrived, here, and home speculators have purchased a great number of the finest of these cattle for the purpose of supplying the neighboring farmers. Forsome time past, Beef in the Carlisle mar ket has-been unusually high, and of rather infe rior quality, although- the butchers have been buying from drovers tut very low prices. Give us good, prime beef at reasonable rates, and our word for it, the sales and profits of the -victuallers will be greatly enlarged. Theßeoinnino of the End. —' d'elphia stock market, on Friday, was very Heavy, and prices generally hod a downward tendency.” - Six-says; the' Nmrtlf American. In New "Sort there was a great depression in afockajileo, notwithstanding the eflbrt on; the ••part of the Republicans to toss them up until after the November election.. The fact is; the low rates at which the government loon was taken, and the startling- fact that there was no bidder south of Washington, the depressed state of the stock; market, and the' unwilling ness to invest ini any securities, notwithstand ing the great superabundance of capital, indi cates clearly that men are beginning to set their houses in order; that they look upon all ’ this as the " beginning of the end.” We fear that the capital and business of the North will'yetrfind the nigger a bad investment..

JU@“Tho nstuto and valiant “Captain” of tho 'Herald, attempts to make light of our ri mijrks in tho Volunteer of lost week, on “ the groat issue” about to bo' decided by the peo ple. Ho thinks, or affects to think (for tho “ Captain” is so very/imny, and so much in clined td.indulgo in sparkling wit, that it is next to impossible to know when ho is in earnest,).that wo arc “ troubled with dreams and night-marcs,” and, in tho goodness of his heart, ho' proscribes tho kind of “ pills” wo should take to relievo us of " tho blues.’’ •Now, notwithstanding wo appreciate the kind intentions of tho “ Captain,” we must never theless inform him that when wo stand in need of a doso of pills* wo prefer to have them prescribed to us by a regular “ Dr.,” and not by a “ snob.” “ Every man to his trade,” is very safe advice, and our neighbor ought to profit by it. • But, badinage aside—-it is too much the habit of Abolition demagogues to sneer at the warnings of those who-believe our country is in danger, and the peace and tranquility of our people in jeopardy from this everlasting “ nigger question.” It is too much the habit, we repeat, of these conspirators to attempt to make light and talk funny about the perpitu ity of our Union. Tho Herald says the “ Re publican party stands pledged to preserve tho Union.” But Lincoln, tho candidate of that pie-bald party for the Presidency, says “ this country cannot endure half slfive and half free.” And Sumner declares that the mission of tho Republican party humble the South and root-out slavery/’ Now, if the Herald is honest in its .declarations, and de sires to “ preserve the Union,” why don’t it denounce the treasonable words of Lincoln and Sumner? Or, is bur neighbor of the opinion that the Union can be preserved by humbling the South and rooting out slavery ? Is this the manner of protecting the Union ? Do toll. MANY. The present campaign in the North by the Republicans, has been conducted upon the principle—if principle it can bo called—that the South shall have no say in regard to the settlement of new Territories; that the decis ions of the Supreme Court (in reference to sla very,) need not and should not be heeded; that the Slave Law should bo put at defiance, &c. In a number of the Now Eng land States it is made a penitentiary offence for any man to obey the law of. Congress, on the subje.ct of runaway slaves; and in Ohio a Supreme Judge has decided that negroes en joy the fight of suffrage, and at the late elec tion fourteen thousand negroes voted in that State, and by this means Ohio was carried, by a few thousand, for the Black .Republicans. But yet; in the face of these outrages—in the face of the Constitution, law, justice and fair dealing, Black Republican scribblers tell us they are pledged to “ preserve the Union.” They can heap every abuse upon the South, steal its property, murder its citizens, when they come North in search, of their slaves, deny them their rights in the Territories, ap plaud John Brows for shooting, down Vir ginians; threaten to “root out slavery,” and then turn up the dirty whites of their eyes, and ex claim, “wo are pledged to proservo-the Un ion I” Was demagogucism ever more beauti fully exemplified? Lot the people reflect before they trust this deceptive party. Let them look at the breakers ahead 1 Borough Improvements. —The spirit of im provement seems to have seized upon the pro perty holders of South Hanover street, and, if we may judge from present indications, the majority of new buildings for some years, to come, will be erected in the Southern portion of the borough. Just now, Mr. John Gutshal is erecting at the corner of Hanover and Wal nut streets, a splendid three story brick Ho tel, which will be one of the largest and most commodious in tho borough. It will be .fin ished during the coming winter, and ready for an occupant by the first of April next. Near ly opposite, Mr. James Bentz has had erected a large and handsome brick dwelling; George Hoffer one, and .Mbs. Lehman one, both of brick. In the same vicinity, on an alley, Mr. William Blair has had erected two. very neat brick tenant houses. Next summer, it is an ticipated, many other houses will be . put up in tho same neighborhood. In addition to the above, on Pitt street, John Moil,- Esq., has erected a two story brick edi fice ; and on the same street, Messrs. Black and Delaney two brick dwellings, Oh West street, Mr. .George Beetom and Mr. M’Com mon have each put up a handsome brick dwel ling. 1 ■On Bedford street, the members of the Cum berland Fire Company have just completed their magnificent Hall, which is an honor to the Company and an ornament to tho borough. The Hall is two and a-half stories high, and is well calculated for the purposes for which it is intended. On South Bedford street, Sher iff M’Gartney has in progress of construction two brick tenant houses, hut we presume they will scarcely be finished this season. A num ber of frame buildings have also been put up during the summer.' We have already no" ticed the large Hotel, on High street, the pro perty of Mr. Robert Gorman. We are pleas ed to observe that it is already doing an ex tensive business. Tho Episcopal congrgation are now renova ting their church edifice, on'Contrp Square, anil the improvements and additions promise to render it a beautiful and classic building. On West High street, Mr. S. M. Hoover is erecting a two story brick dwelling. We have doubtless omitted to mention some other improvements; if so, we shall note them in a future number. ■“ The Phila- Slaves Emancipated. —The Paris (Ky.)

This is the second lot of negroes Mr. Spear has taken to the same placed'' fl6y-“01d Age,” says Lord Bacon, “is a tower whose foundation is undermined.” Not an inapt comparison, hut Mrs. Sinclair Ims given us a far more beautiful illustration: “ Old age is like a flower without a root—the I first blast lays it low.’.' Stand to Your Arms, Democrats. ELECTION— TUESDAY, NOVEMBER Oth. Doihocrats of Cumberland I—this is tho lost bp'poftidnity wo will .have of addressing you pnSvlSfrs to tho Presidential election, which takes place this yearym TUESDAY, NOVEM BER & Notwithstanding our disastrous de feat in the late contest, lot us not be discour aged nor dismayed. Let us stand by our col ors, and, by a mighty effort, beat back tho Goths and Vandals who are striving to clutch the reigns, of government. Lot ws give a full day to tho cause of our country, and victory may yet crown our efforts. If there ever was a time when our Union required the most strenuous efforts of its friends, that time is now. Eor tho first time in the history of bur Government its enemies —tho sectional Abolitionists—have dared, to promulgate their pernicious and treasonable doctrines in, every Northern State. Their candidates for President and Vico President are both residents of the North, and both the sworn enemies, of the South, Washington, in his Farewell Address, warned the people of l America to beware of sectional parties, anil to indignantly frown uponthe first attempt to alienate one”seotion of the Union from tho other. This is tho "first attempt” tho Aboli tionists have made "to alienate one section of tho Union from the other,” In IBSG, it is true, they advocated (in the North) the same pernicious doctrines they now advocate, but yet their candidate for Vico President was an old line Whig, and therefore they affected to disolaiih sectionalism. But, becoming bolder in their treasonable designs, they now select both their candidates from the North* and thus “alienate one section of the Union from the other,” and trample under foot thb warning worlds of the Father of his Country 1 Will the North sanction this-attempted outrage ? Will our people of Pennsylvania and of tho North generally scoff at the warning words of George Washington? Are they prepared to insult his memory, by doing the very thing he boseechcd them, in his last hours, not to do ? If they are ready thus to act, then farewell to the union of the States 1 Let wise men pon der before they mock at the words of Wash ington 1 ' Let them remember that ho, in the providence of God, achieved our liberties, and that we can remain free, happy and indepen dent only, by adhering to the advice he gave us. Pause, then, voters of Pennsylvania, be fore you commit the great blunder of support ing'soctional candidates for President and Vice President. Stop and think before you vote! Read over the Farewell Addresses of George Washington and Andrew Jackson, and “ indignantly frown upon tho first attempt to alienate one section of the Union from the; other.” Do this, and save your country from the ruin that now threatens it. Union on inn Reading. Electoral Ticket. —The Democratic Committee of Allegheny county met on Saturday last, the 20th ult., and adopted'tho following resolution: Resolved, That we, the Democracy of Alle gheny county, discarding all dissensions, heartily co-operate in an undivided support of the Reading Electoral ticket. The Democratic Committee of Lancaster county met in Lancaster on the 20th nit., and unanj/inously adopted the following, resolution,' approving of-the action of the State Executive Committee-at Reading: Resolved, That we approve of. the action of the Democratic State Executive Committee at Reading, and that we recommend the Demo crats of Lancaster county to give a united sup port to the Reading Electoral ticket. “For Abraham Lincoln—for Union for Freedom, for Fraternity.” —Such are’the concluding words of the Bulletin in which tho Chairman of tho State Committee of “ people’s party” announces the result of the late elec tion. These words, with a. few. additions, very well express the principles and purposes of Block Republican party. Thus—they are for Abraham Lincoln, for a union of negroes with whites, for the .freedom of negroes and their equality with whites, and for fraternity, that is, a brotherhood of the white and black men and a sisterhood of the white and black women. That precisely the kind of union; of freedom, of fraternity, with the Black Re publicans, under the leadership of Lincoln, are endeavoring to bring about. An Armed Sectional Party.— Tho Father of his Country left oh record his farewell warning “ to beware of Sectional parties,” and Daniel Webster has declared that— The Constitution of the United States is a written instrument—a recorded fundamen tal law; it is the bond, and the onlv bond of tho Union of these-States; it is ail that gives us a national character.” •Now, the Black Republican party has dis tinctly repudiated tho word national. They refuse to be regarded as a national party. In proof of it, it is only necessary to clip the fol" lowing from the proceedings of the Cliicago Convention, which were adopted May I6th, 1860, and that nominated Abe Lincoln before the people: “Judge Jessup desired to amend a verbal mistake m the name of tho party. It was printed in the resolution ‘ National Republi can party.’ Ho wished to strike out tho word NATIONAL, as that was not tho name, by which tlie party was properly known. The correction was made.”— N. Y. Daily Tri bune, May 18, 1800, Rage No. 5. | U. S. Senators Elected in Oregon. —The Oregon Legislature, on the 2d inst., as we learn by the last arrival, elected George W. Nesmith, a Douglas Democrat, United States Senator for six years from the 4th of March, 1861, in place of Gen. Joseph Lane, whose term expires with the present Congress; and Edward D. Baker, Republican, for the exist ing vacancy, or unoxpired term of five years. This result has brought about a coalition be tween the Dougins men and Black Republi cans. , - The Douglas papers in Oregon are very bitter in denouncing the coalition by which a Republican Senator was elected. The President of the Senate, a Douglas man, has been burnt in effigy, in the county he represents, by the Dougins Democrats.. This course was'probably been resorted to, to counteract the effect of the charge l that the Republicans and Douglas Democrats are work ing.for a common object. John 0. Heenan was fined $3OO by Judge Hoyt of Buffalo, on the IGth inst., for his par- Itiolpatiou in the prize fight between. Price and Kelly, at Point Albino abouta year ago, Hopromptly paid;his fine.., LINCOLN AND HAMLIN. • In past political campaigns, the personal, moral, mental, and political qualifications of candidates for the Presidency and Vico Pre sidency of the United States, have been tire subjects of investigation. This contest is dif ferent from all that has heretofore preceded it, becaus&thb country is fully and completely absorbed by the great crisis brought on in cur national affairs by the persistence of Aboli tionism. Senoe every other consideration which has heretofore affected a Presidential election, is swallowed up and lost in tho all absorbing question of slavery; hence it is that it is impossible to draw the attention of the community to the personal, or rather the want of the personal qualifications of Messrs, tin coin and Hamlin, for the high positions lot which their-party has made them tho candi dates. These men are not put forth ns qualified for tho discharge of-tho high duties of the first offices of the.government; they are tho repre sentatives only of the anti-slavery sentiment, and an “irreprissiblo conflict.” Upon this ground, and this only. arc they presented, for tho suffragos of tho people. They are com- mitted to no principle of foreign or domestic policy, other than this. Neither is it stated, or pretended to be, stated, what views they entertain upon any other question of national importance, save that they arc both,- by their records, committed to an anth-tariff as well as an anti-slavery policy. With his supporters .iLiCatters not that Mr. Lincoln is not fitted by any of. his antecedents for President of the United States.- , It mot tors not to them, that he maybe in every re spect totally Unqualified for the position —they are bent upoh .tho solution of the question of the “ irrepressible conflict.” He is the repre sentative of that idea, and they care nothing for his honesty or his capability, and there fore it would be useless for us to prove his ut ter want of both. In like manner will it be useless for us to attempt to arrest their attention to the fact that Mr. Hamlin is a free trade man in the full sense of the word; that ho has seized upon every opportunity.that ever was offered to him to place himself upon record as an anti-tariff man; that he,is charged with the most disgraceful corruptions in his official character of an United States Senator; that there has never been any responsible denial of the charge preferred against him, that du ring the period of his service as an United States Senator he received some six or seven thousand dollars as a fee upon a claim, the bill for which was yet to pass through that portion of the National Legislature of which he was a member; that ho lies under accusa tions of corruption and bribery, as dishonor able as that of-Matteson and his associates.. We ask, will the people permit this anti slavery question to blind them to the incapa city of one of . these "candidates, and to the disgraceful record of. the other? We appeal to men to think upon these things; to look at the qualifications and record of Lincoln and Hamlin; to pause and reflect, ore it Shall he too late; to consider bpfore they decide that these men shall be placed at the head of the government; and to remember that In all hu man probability, thebf election will ho the overt act which will brink up the Union, and destroy, thi cohl&fS?*? of the. States. So says the Philadelphia Apts. A Relic of the J6hn \Bbown Raid. —lt will be recollected thnt'Brown took a brace of pistols from Mr. Washington, at Harper’s Ferry. These pistols wore valuable an account of having been presented to George Washing ton by Gen. Lafayette, i After the raid, one was recovered by Mr. Washington, but the other remained In the possession of the Brown family until quite recently, when Thad. Hyatt visited North Elba. While there ho heard frequent allusion made to a pistol.. Upon in quiry He had his suspicions as to the identity of the pistol to the one recovered, by Lewis Washington. Though bo. was hot at all se cret in expressing his disapprobation of the detention of another’s property in” this man ner, Mr. Hyatt could not persuade the family to .restore it, and left North Elba in merited disgust. Thence bo went to Kansas on some business, and, returning, stopped in Cincin nati, where wo found an anonymous letter, stating that the relic he had endeavored to have returned, would be found at his home subject to his disposal whenever ho chose to use it; Sure enough, when ho arrived at his house in Now York, he found a box which re mained undisturbed, because his family feared the presence of some infernal machine, and on opning it, found the long-sought pistol.

Proceed ings wore instituted, and she was among the first to avail herself of Sir Crceswcll Cros woll’s process of “Freedom made Easy,” by marrying her guilty partner; but she seems scarcely to know her own mind, for she has since re-eloped with her first husband.

Something op a Change. —At the ball giv en to Lord Renfrew at the Academy of Music, the Prince opened the dance with the lady of Gov. Morgan. Richly dressed, possessed of all the grace and dignity befitting her station as the wife of the Chief Magistrate of . the Empire State, she represented something more than official station. She was the ex emplar pf American life; progress, industry. In her youth, she was a poor girl, earning her livelihood as a milliner’s apprentice. Her upward growth is but a common specimen of the strange but goodly incidents of republican life. Another of the partners of the Prince was the daughter of John Van Buren.

It is quite certain I did not break my sword, for I had none to break; but I bent my musket pretty badly on one occasion. If Cass broke his sword, the.idea is, he broke it in desperation; I bent the musket by accident. If Gen.

A few days after, your nomi nation I mot you at a street corner in Harris burg nnd congratulated you on yoursuccm. I wont to New Jersey/ and I presume you went to Perry. We. had not that, nor, ns I remember, did we ever hare any conversation in regard to any subject of legislation, “ton nage tax” or any thing else.
