Indeed, we havp never ‘seen a more respectable Convention in our county. .. It was composed of the right kind of men, as the result of their labors fully prove.' Men.who were not’prompted hy any, selfish or improper motives;,but were deter ,mined to. fearlessly,perform the duty that had been entrusted to them,by the Democracy of Cumberland county, and nobly have they . done this. • ..The ticket, as it is composed of.the very * bfeat of material, will facet the approbation of -every Democrat in the county. They are all amiable gentlemen, true Democrats and. pure, patriot®.' let every Democrat go to work and labor zealously for the ticket. Your dele gates have,faithfully performed their duty.—. Are you, Democrats, trilling and ready to 'perform'yours with equal fidelity on the sec ond Tuesday of-next October ? We think tve can confidently answer for you. In; this aw ful moment of our eduntry’s travail, you are determined to keep the standard of Demoera oy. floating in vthe Cumberland Valley; Lo 4 us do our duty, by laboring for the triumph of the eternal principles of right, and the success of the Democratic party j the party that has always carried the flag and kept step to the musio of the Union. We shall'speak more at length of our can didates on a future occasion. Admitted.— On motion of C. P. Homrich, Esq., on Monday, the 26th ult., A. J; Mar sßall, Esq., was admitted to practice-law in the several courts of this county. Cap?. Geq. Gibson. —Our esteemed friend and former .townsman, Capt. George Gibson-, of the United States Army, is now attached to Gen. .McClellan’s staff, at Washington.— Cspt, G; stands deservedly high with his fel low.; dicers, and hia; pttfnerous friends here wilVbe.glad toi enjoys excellent health. / Dr; dominated for Aill&bly of Perry, The judicial Conferees were unanimously instruct ed for Judge Graham. V Robbery. —Captain Dorsseiher, of Me chanicsburg, late of the Sixteenth regiment, after being mustered out of. service, had a lot of military trappings stolen from him by a member of his company, named S. Frank Schwartz. On Thursday the captain pro cured a warrant, and went to Berwick after his man; but it appears that after the arrest (if Schwartz- he made bis escape from the of ficer. The captain offers a reward for. his cap ture. “Prepare toPocker.” — -A gentleman who has just arrived in Philadelphia from Rich mond states, that the rebels there no longer talk about but now boast of their, determination to take Philadelphia, marching via Chambersburg, If they come by way of Cumberland Valley, they will of course pass through this place, (doubtless in tho’morning train,) but before they roach Car lisle,- they will hear the music of several hum, dred cannon.. . On Again.— The Easton Sentinel appears again this week, on a half sheet. The pub lishers office, it will be remembered; was des. troyed by a mob about two weeks ago. Ho complains very feelingly of the misrepresen tations and falsehoods that wore-circulated against him, and led to the commission of the outrage by which ho has suffered so seriously . Ha’denies, that he ever had any sympathy with secession and treason, and claims to be a slncere-.and loyal supporter of the Govern ment. The Sentinel was nptmobbed because any one believed it to be a Secession paper, but because it preached Democracy and de nounced dishonesty and villainy. ' jgjj“ As our Democratic friends seem deter mined to liold their regular County Conven tion, for the purpose of placing in nomination, an unadulterated Democratic ticket, it may be worth while to inquire, on what principles they intend to conduct the campaign? The old party war cries are obsolete, aud the is sues on which they organized in former years have passed avray.—- Carlisle llcTcild. Not a bit of it. The issues on which we « organitedin former years " hove not passed away,- Our war cry baa always been “ the CONSTITUTION, THE LAWS AND THE UNION I ” These are our watch-words still, and with them we . will defeat the party whose chief leaders have said “ let the Union slide.!" v.- 0 * ®“°hanan is a stench in *'?! V* 0?eo? ' 0 ’ a “d his administra tioh the foulest on record. it has not a sin gle redeeming quality.—Carlisle Herald. The name of Buchanan -will be remember ed gratitude, long after the name of Lin ooln, has bean ,forgotten., Thera is a stench! in thenostrils of- the people, and that stench' is engendered by the corruptions of the pres ent administration- Under Buchanan the people were happy, prosperous and, at peace. Under Lincoln they ere starving and at war. Church Dedication.— The now Methodist Episcopal Church at Mount Holly Springs will he dedicated on Sunday next. WHAT WILL WE DO WITH THEM! Suppose the war for the preservation of the Union and the Constitution in which we are now engaged, should, at the command of lead ing Republican journals’ and prominent Re publican Congressmen, be diverted' into a war , for the abolition of slavery, what, we ask, would wo do with the slaves after we had them? . The South contains over four millions of slaves. If the-Abolitionists can effect their object, these.slaves are to be set at liberty, to overrun the free States. What will we do with them, we again ask, after they come here? "Give them work,” an swers a zealous Republican. Ah—but sup pose we’ have no work to give them, what then? There’s the sticking point. We have hot work now for our own white laborers; many of whom are on the verge" of starva tion. ' Even in the most prosperous times, we have plenty of laborers in the North.to do all our work. How then can we employ the four millions and more of half barbarians the Abolitionists propose to foist upon us? Our own free blacks are already a heavy expense to the people. One-third of them are utterly Worthless; .they fill our alms-houses, jails and penitentiaries, consume the time of courts in trying them for offences —steal, plunder and beg. Do we require four millions more of these people in our midst ? The Abolitionists say yes; we, speaking for the masses, say no! While on this subject, it is well enough to refer back to the political campaign of last fall, and call, to mind the manner in which it was conducted! It will bo remembered that the Republicans made certain professions, and when they issued a call for a mebting. of their -heterogeneous .clan?, they invariably: headed it (in capitals,) thus—'“Atten tion, Wide-Awakes I—Public Meeting I—No more Slave Territory !—Free Homes for Free Men!.—Free- Speech and a Free'Ureas! — Ponce, Prosperity and High 5 Wages!—Oppp- sad to a Repeal of the Tonnage Tax! —The Bail-splittor leads the colmnn I ” &o. Such, wo “rep can Atos the Re publicans of used in jtoblishing calls for their meetings last fall. They wore a declaration of principles, which orated and explained by Black Repubncan stump speakers and editors. Let our read ers cast their eyes over the above professions, and then ask how many of them have been fulfilled. Where do we find the “ free homes for free men ?”■ Are these free homes to he obtained by liberating four millions of blacks? Have we a “ free press and free speech?”— We always have had, but have we now ? No! The Administration at Washington has, in Cabinet Council, declared that strictures on the Administration or members of the Cab inet, will be regarded disloyalty to the Gov ernment, and treated as such 1 ' We are even told that a blind, servile and unquestioning submission to the policy of the powers at Washington, and an unwavering and exquis ite delight in every measure they are pleased to propose, is the tost of patriotism—that it is treason to criticise the dots of the Adminis trntion, because, by so , doing, wo may possi bly-bring it into discredit and disrepute 1 — The Czar of Russia would scarcely dare pro claim such an edict. Where do we find the “peace, prosperity and high wages? ” Ask the day-laborer, the mechanic, and the busi ness man. And the promise not to repeal the Tonnage-tax—how was that promise ,re-: deemed? Examine the. journals of;the last Legislature, arid it, will be seen’that the Re publican. members, almost to a man, voted for and passed a bill,, repealing the tonnage, tax—thus, rubbing the State out of millions —and that Gov; Curtin signed the-bill. Nay, more, a debt of 8700,000 due to . the State from the Pennsylvania Railroad, ; and for which the State had a judgment, was also wiped out by a.section of the same hill. Arid more still, another section of the bill relieved the Sunhury and Erie Railroad of a, (lobt duo the State, of three millions five hundred thousand dollars! We opine no Republican will deny these facts. ’ Such were some of the of the Black Republicans last tall, nndsueh the way they redeemed those promises. They now— at least a large portion of them, ns well as many of their leading papers—would make the war an issue for the abolition of slavery, and would foist four millions of slaves upon the free North !' Thus, four millions of white laborers would have to make way and give place to the emancipated slaves. Either this, or tho slaves would have to be maintained at the public expense, for which the people would be taxed heavily. And tlys is tho “ free home V to which the laboring man was invited!.. This tho “high wages” lie was to receive. Will the Administration succumb to the demands of the rabid Abolitionists? Will it attempt to divert the war from its legitimate and original objects, and make it a war for the freedom of four millions of slaves? We trow not. Wo believe .Mr. Lincoln, whatev er may be his inclinations, will not attempt to carry out the policy chalked out for him by his Abolition friends. If he does, ho will find himself in the Slough of Despond so deep, that the united strength of all the Abolition ists in our land will not be able to extricate him. Lethim, then, repudiate thomen whoso brazen impudence, if not treason, induces them to represent the warns a crusade against slavery. If such men hold office under him, let them be kicked out, and their places filled by those. who advocate and sustain the war because- it is a contest for the Constitution and the Laws. These are the objects to be achieved by the present unhappy contest. — We hope, therefore—sincerely hope—that President Lincoln, notwithstanding his strong and bigoted Abolition proclivities, wjjrre membor the place he occupies, and tho ob jects for which the people of tho North, ns well as a large portion of loyal men in the South, are contending. The recent Congress,' by a vote nearly unanimous, passed the fol lowing, resolution, which expresses the voice of the Nation; and should, and we hope will,, serve as a guide to the Administration. It is the true standard of loyalty, and declares plainly the objects for which the war is waged: l *l a P roßon *‘ deplorable civil war has oniabt nf Ou J? <ra , t *'° country by -the disuni- SuL c™°t"i h f- rn S ' fttes - arms a al emergency.

It may bo well, ip these times of lawless ness and outrage upon the rights of the peo ple, to remind the public that there-are such provisions as the following in the Constitution of the United States: "Congress shall mako.no laW respecting an establishment of religion, or'prohibiting the free exercise, thereof, or abridging ihefseldom of speech or of the press, of the fight of the people' peaceably to assemble and petition the government for aredress of grievances,”—O'.

S. Consti tution, 4<7(, amendment. And in the Constitution of Pennsylvania./, may be found the following provisions: “ The printing presses shall be free to every person who undertakes t,o examine the pro ceedings of the legislature, or any. branch of government, and no law shall ever he made to restrain the right thereof The free communi cation of thoughts and opinions is one of the invaluable rights of man; and every citizen may freely speak, write or print on any subject, being responsible [ to the law, not to a mob] for the abuse of that liberty.”— Penn sylvania. Constitution, Declaration of Bights,' Article 9th, Section 7. ..“The people shall be secure in their per sons, houses, papers, and possessions, from un reasonable, searches and seizures.” —Same Article,, Section 8. “No power of suspending laws shall he ex ercised, unless bg ihe’Legislatvre, or its authori ty.”—Same Article, Section 12." “ The citizens have a right, in a peaceable manner, to assemble together for their common good, and to apply to those invested with the powers of government for redress of grievan ces,.or other proper purposes, by petition ad dress or remonstrance."—Same Article,' Sec tion 20.' . ■ . ■; - ■ ' , Hz’“ Occasional,” of tlie Philadelphia Pi'ess, says: ' “Edward Everett, in his last letter to the New York. Ledger, presents what might ho called hv the dilettanti of politics an argu ment in'favdr of mob bqyt.. It is one of that eminent ..statesman's most graceful and. pro found productions, arid is really-a philosophic defehce of the right of a free government to maintain the powers of a government, and prevent itself from . annihilation. Asalegnl argument the paper of Mr. Everett is ex haustive, arid I cannot hut think that it will bo productive of the niost gratifying results.” In the name of Heaven aro wc all going crazy ? Think of a man-of presumed com mon sense gravely talking of a defence of “ mob law”. —which sots all other law and all “government” at defiance—tramples down all rights by sheer and brute force —as “ a philosophic defence of the right oi nfrec gov ernment to maintain the powers of a -govern ment,” &o. The thing is amazing—past our comprehension I Fife Spcccli. We commend the following to those Repub licans who, just now, think it an awful t.l)lng for a man to speak out his sfcntiments unless they happen to.chime in wjtb the entire pol icy of ‘.‘Old Abe.” The extract is from the message'of-Gov. . Andrew, of Massachusetts, to a few since :;'' "",;': “Lotus never-t-undcr any conceivable cir cumstances of .provocation or indignation— ferret that the right of free discussion of,all nublio.questions is guaranteed to every indi vidual, on .Massachusetts soil; by the settled conviction of her people, by the habits of her successive generations, and by express pro visions of her constitution. And let nnthere fore'Tiever-seek'to. repress; tbo criticisms of n minority, however small, upon the character rind conduct of any administration, whether STATE or NATIONAL.” A Goon Nomination. —Our friend, Col. Levi L. Tate, tho efficient editor of the Co lumbia Democrat, has received the nomina tion for Assembly by the Democratic party of Columbia county. The Col. is a votrnn Demo crat, a very worthy gentleman, and will inake.a very useful and industrious Representative. Mon Law. —Mob law has shown its band, of late, in some parts of the country, North and South, in various forms. Several news paper offices have been demolished, and,pri vate-residences threatened. This game will hecaniedon until it ends in tho conflagra tion of towns and cities. It is a dangerous expedient, and' admits of no extenuation or justification.. Paymasters.—The second list of Paymas ters lately appointed has been published. In it wo find the following from, Pennsylvania! . Andrew M. Snllado, R. E. Patterson, John P. Brna, Samuel A. Pm-vianco, Gideon J. Ball, Henry L. Benner Francis Jordon, John M. Pomery, Valentino Hanna, . , This is n tolerable fair proportion out of the 103 appointed; it will also be remembered that Brua Cameron and David Taggart' were appointed some time ago, as well as others from this State that wo do not now remember. In the Quartermaster’s Department wo find tho.following Assistant Quartermasters,.with the rank,of Captain from this. Stater Joseph Dock, J. P. Rutherford, Thornton Smith, Samuel Henry, John F.

Scofield. John King, Robert M. Mueser, Samuel M’Kelvy, Eiidolphus Kent. Eleven out of forty-four, and twenty States to appoint from, is also pretty good. Who will say that Pennsylvania is, not properly oared for? Since- it has got to bo treason 'to say anything about the Government, of .which the above .honorable ,gqn (lemon are now an arm, wo submit their names, to the people of Pennsylvania without comment, except to day they are all good Republicans.
