THE COUNTY TICKET-
The nomination of Adam J. dLossnuEWNSit,
of York, for Congress, completes our County
Ticket, ami it behooves the conservative men
cf this county and Congressional district to
go to work in full earnest for “ the ticket,
the whole ticket, and' nothing’but the ticket. 0
It is highly important that tvo poll our full
vote at the October election, and thus give a
majority that will strike terror to the conspi
rators who hove, with unblushing audacity,
dared to declare that wc can have no pence
until slavery is abolished and the equality of
the races recognised. Democrats ! be up and
doing, ami make every vote you can for the
County Ticket.
Adam *l, Glossurknxer, our candidate for
Congress, is a citizen of York, ami a gentle
man of unimpeachable character. An prin
cipal editor of the I’lnladelphia Age, ho ex
hibits those sterling traits of character so
necessary for n public man to possess, and
which should commend him to the confidence
and secure him the support of every honest,
Tninn-loving voter. A self-made man, he
knows the feelings and sentiments of tlio peo
ple of this District, and will represent all
(•lasses of men faithfully in Congress, That
lie will he elected by an overwhelming ma
j irity, no one can doubt, apd that lie will he
true to his fjtcmD, to his District,.and his
whole country,’ wo have assurances from his
former life. Frank, Inmost, hosphnhlo and
confiding, he is just such a man as the peo
ple of Cumberland, Furry and York desire in
Congress.
Dr. John D, Bowman is onr candidate f r
Asa member of the House last
winter, ho was attentive to his duties, ami
' his c mrsi' gave g'-i.oral satisfaction to his
constituents. 1 {ones*, capable and worth*,
he was respected by his fellow-members of
both panics. In the mutter which most
deeply concerned the poopln of the border—
dun-,ages for losses sustained b v rebel hivu-
Mon* —Dr. Ihiw.M.w was industrious and ear
nest, ‘■paring no ekm-t p> have proper remu
neration imi'l n to the ‘■•ul’Wcr®. lie lias been
tried, and has not been found wanting. Lot
liim therefore la* returned, with the interest
of our people ji-rain committed to his hands.
Our candidate fir sheriff is that hard fist
ed and estimable man. John Jacobs, of old
Silver *Spnn£. Mr. J., is a gentleman of
sound judgment, who, a few years acted
as Deputy Sheriff of this county. Ho in
prompt and reliable ii\t\U things, and in eve
ry respect is admirably Qualified for the po
sition for which lie has been named.
Henry Kahns, of Monroe, is our nominee
for (he responsible position of County Com
missioner, and a better man could not have
been named, lid is an intelligent, hard
working mechanic, and a careful, sterling
man, who feeD the necessity for the utmost
economy in all public expenditures. The
people will nut forget, r.t tho polls, one so
well fitted for tlic place.
Our candidates for Director of thO Poor,
ami Auditor, William Wherry and John
A. Hkheri.ir, are both unexceptionable men,
both as regards integrity and capacity.
Such is die Democratic ticket. We can
point to it wUb pride, because it is without
spot, or blemish. And it will succeed, wc
have no doubt, by the largest majority cverj
cast lor a ticket iu this county. 'That it is
preferable to the Abolition negro-erpialii v .
ticket in many ways, will be admitted hy all j
fair-mind.-d men; but espeeiallj’ in the mat-:
tor of platform on which each stands. The!
Democratic ticket is phalirmi to peace and a j
whole Union —t he earliest possible peace with 1
a view to the earliest jmx-lblo restoration of
the Union. The Abolition ticket is
to an endorsement of Aid. the ACTS AND
MUASURE? of Ahkviiam Lincoln. (So
said the Convention which nominated it.)
Pledged to continued drafts, continued tax
es, continued war. devastation and bloodshed,
until the “ uhcinilonmf’ni of :lamr>/ n is se
cured I In other words, until tho Southern
negro is, " freed onstarved," at the expense of
tho best white blood of the North.
Citizens of (luubnrland county, such are
tho party pledges with which the different
candidates come to you. can sundv
have no difficulty in selecting that ticket the
success of which is best calculated to Bdbserve
your interest and the country’s.
Sewivg Machin-us —We are often surprised
to niul so few Sewing Machines in use, in our
section of the country. In the largo cities,
every family has its Sowing Machine, anil
they* would not be without one for ten times
its cost. It is certainly the most useful and
economical invention of the age, and wo ad
vise our readers to hesitate no longer, hut
seo to Retting one of those labor ami life sav
iiiß Machines. There are a great many
kinds of Sewing Machines, and wn have ta
ken some pains to examine into their respec
tive merits, and we have note to the conclu
sion that tho Wheeler & Wilson, High P ro
mium Sewing .Machine, is decidedly the best.
These unequalled Machines are adapteil to
every variety of sewing for family wear, from
the lightest muslins to tho heaviest cloths
IToy work equally well upon silk, linen
woolen", and-cotton goods, with silk.-cntton
or linen thread. They will seam, quilt
Rather, Item, foil, cord.Jirald, hind, and per
form every kind of sewing, making n beauti
ful and perfect stitch, alike on both sides of
tiie article served. The sewing wii] never
unravel or wash nut.
The Wheeler & Wilson Sewing Machines
are so simple that a child can work them
with ease. Printed instructions are sent
with every Machine, so that any one can
operate them without any trouble or difficul
ty. Every Machine is warranted, and the
money returned if not entirely satisfactory.
Over FJ’O/ Thousand of the celebrated
Wheeler & Wilsun Sewing Machines are spld
every year, and yet the demand is so great
ttiat they can hardly ho supplied as' fast as
ordered. Machines are carefully packed nod
sent in good order to any portion of the aouu-
try.
We hope our readers will write at once to
Wheeler & Wilson’s Agency, No. 704 Chest
nut Street, Philadelphia, and get one of their
Almanacs for IBGS, and specimens of work
done by the Mao,bine, all of which they will
send by mail’, free of charge, to any address.
We should bo glad to see an Agency for the
Wheeler & Wilson Sowing Machine estab
lished in our locality. .Wo know them to he
the heat, most simple and olioamest machine
in us*.
TtlE UEUi-mSGER SPEAKS-!
Old granny Seward, tbo bclLririgor, is bn
; the stamp for hiscollonguoia crime, Lincoln.
A week or so ago ho outdo a speech at Au
burn, N. Y,, in which ho confessed that 11 old
Are” would have a hf.rd road tq travel this
fall. He attempted tc excuse the President
■fur Ins illegal arrests, lis violation of his oath
and the Constitutioh,&c,, by the stale plea
that every man.in JiuMe to commit errors.—
For the purpose of raising a cheer, ho said in
a loud voice, “ wC shall havo-no draft, because
the army is being reinforced at the rate of five
to ten thousand men per day by volunteers.”
OF course the stay-at-home Leaguers were re
joiced to hear this, and gavethreo long cheers.
Hut, Seward was falsifying, und ho know i't t
The'draft has been ordered.» It was posponed
for-a few days, for the purpose of carrying cer
tain election?, an I Seward Vied intentionally
when ho said “ wo shall have no draft.”—■
Poor old man ! Once Seward was regarded
a man of respectable ability, notwithstan
ding he always preached up sedition end trea
son, hut on the day he got intotho-LiNcoLN
administration ho became dwarfed and con
temptible in the eyes of men of sense. Ever
since the the rel c'.lion broke out he has boon
making a fool of himself— one day boasting
of the power he can exercise by touching a
bell on his right hand, and another on his left,
and on a score of occasiona*prodioting that
the rebellion could not last sixty days longer.
He hud better remain in Washington, and not
attempt to speak before the people, for they
[ d mb believe a word he says, and regard him
a knave.
Lincoln ilisunionistg of tliiw town
licM u meeting in the court-houso, on Thurs
day evening of last work. It was a small af
fair, ami as spiritle-ss As small. Flaming pos
ters had been soattcro I over town, announ*
ring that John U. Ivcnkle of Harrisburg,
would brjprcscnt to address the mooting. The
valiant “ Colonel,” however, was not about
when the mooting which was proof
that ids name imd boon used without his au
thority. It was ahi ore ruse to get a crowd.
The fact is, if report can ho believed, C donel
Kcnkle is no admirer of the “groat incom
petent,’ 7 nor is it probable ho will support
him.
B. Beatty, Far. was appointed to preside,
and the ball opened. A large,fine looking
negro was posted in the rear of the Presi
dent's chair, for the purpose wo suppose, of
convincing all that the negro-equality busi
ness as recognized and ordered by the Union
splitter, Lincoln, is to bo observedmn all oc
ea-uons. The first speaker was our chubby
neighbor, Mr. J amlss A. Dunbar, wiio“spread
himself” nicely on thisoccasinn. Tie eulogized
the negro soldiers to the skies, hut had not a
word to say in behalf of white soldiers. lie
spoke of “ old A he” as a “ statesman and hon
rsf man," hut this was too much for the au
dience, most of whom burst into a loud laugh.
Xo wonder; the idea of calling that misera
ble hulfoon and political trimmer, Lincoln*, a
“statesman and honest man,” was enough to
make sen-did 5 men laugh. In concluding his
disj nntod, illogical and insipid harangue, Mr.
0. told his, hearers that he felt sure the Dein
o 'rats would have two candidates in the field
, f r “ and (hen," he added with em
| phasis, “we will re-elect old Ann.” But, wc
I can tell our verdant orator that ho is mista
j ken. The Democrat.-, are for M’Clellan tu
|*a man, and they intend to elect him too.
] The next speaker wai AV*. Johnson, who
j is celebrated for delivering long, dull, windy
{rigmaroles. Uo commenced his speech by
giving a history of Aimm and Dvr, and con
cluded it with the startling announcement
that, in his opinion, (ho “ smutty joker” had
conducted this war most admirably and de
served a re-election! lie dropped a tear or
two for the thousands of soldiers who had
been killed and died from disease during the
time that Gen. M’Ollllan commanded tile,
army of the Potomac ; hut he did not tell the
meeting that Grantluul lost, in foi'ir month?,
nioic men than McClellan had in Ins whole
army’, nor did he mention the fact that Grant
is not as near Richmond now as McClellan
was. . McClellan had Richmond in his pow
er, and beyond all question would have taken
it, had it not been for the perfidy, villainy and
(reason of those two political- plotters, Lin-'
coln ami Stanton. This is history.
The AVw. d »iin Ross, Chaplain at the Gar
rison, made the last speech. It was a most
lame, libellous, and contemptible attempt to
bolster up his Infidel master, who-pays him
some i?I,GuU for doing nothing. We need not
refer to his lies and his unchristian-like dec
larations, for, poor man; he is working for his
bread ami butler, and, in the eyes of some,
is excusable. It is ft most humiliating spec
tacle, however, too see these so-called minis
ters of Christ mount the political rostrum,
ami deliver windy speeches, abounding in
fiisehoo<U that would innko the devil himself
blush. Thov make Iheniselves infamous
in the sight of men of sense, and are a can
cerous Roro upon the cause of Christianity.—
Such exhibitions wero never known previous
to the adventof Kaow-nothingisni.nnd its twin
in crime, treason and perjury,*hell-born Aho
to wear clerical robes attempted to volunteer
lus advice a political meeting, ho would
have been hissed front the house, if not kick
ed from it. But* Lincoln has a great ihany
dim inilive preachers under salary—that is, lie
Is paying them from the people's treasury—
and ho requires them to give toriguo for him
on all occasion ; aye, he oven compels them
to endorse the act when ho (old Abo,) causes
an avowed Infidel to be elected Chaplain to
the House of Congress.
But, enough. Wd had intended to devote
but a few lines to to this poor, little, con
temptible meeting. Really, Lincoln stock
is far below par in this county, and we are
now satisfied more'than ever, that “ Little
Mac, the candidate of the people,-will carry
the county over the “ groat incompetent” by
2,000 or 2,500. Mark it I
BSyTho Richmond Inquirer (Jeff DaVis’
organ,) ia out in a long and able article in
favor of tlio election of Lincoln. Itfearsthe

OLD ABE AND THE NEGROES.
The Negroes of Baltimore Present tAe
“ Smutty Joker" with a Bibee—He Makes
a SPF.ncn.~MMJ ADEiind the negroes have imd
‘milch billing and cooing of late; Every'two op
three days deputations of" American citizens
'of African sccni” visit the "White House, oi-'
tlmr to tender advice to the President, or to
make him a present of some kind. Indeed,
these “colored patriots," as Sumner calls
them, occupy nearly all the spare hours of
the President, and it is seldom a white map
can secure even five minutes conversation
with him. Even army officers, desiring to
know his views, are crowded hack until a no.
gro delegation has first neen heard. Negroes
dine .with the President and his family al
most daily, and Tcaily Mr. Lincoln not only
preaches ncnjro equality, but lie practices
what he preaches.
A few days since the negroes of Baltimore
presented old Abe with a Bible. The Wash
ington correspondent of the Now York Tri
bune writes thus concerning this most mo
mentous affair;
Washington, Sept. 7. 18G‘l
This afternoon a committee of loyal colored
people of Baltimore, formally presented to the
President an imperial quarto Bible, splen
didly hound, costing S5BO, as a token of thftir
respect and gratitude to him lor his active
part in the cause of emancipation. They say
that since they have been incorporated into
the American family and regarded as equals
with other men, they have been true and
1 loyal, and now stand ready to defend the conn
try, and that they are prepared tu be anped
ami trained to protect ami defend the Star
Spangled Banner,
The President replied:
"I can only say now, gentlemen, as I have
often said before, it has always been a senti
ment with mo that all mankind' should he
free and equal. So fur as I have been, or so
far ns, came within my sphere,! have always
acted as I believed was right and just, and
nave done all l could for the good of man
kind.’ I have, in letters and documents sent
forth from this office, expressed myself hotter
than I cun now. In regard to the great hook,
I have only'to say it is the best gift which
God has given man. All the good from the
Saviour of the world is communicated to us
through this hook. But for this hook we
could not know right from wrong. All those
tilings dehrahle to man are contained in it.
I reiuni you, gentlemen, my sincere thanks
for this very elegant copy of the great work
of God which you present."
After making this speech to the “gentle
men" composing the negro delegation, the
whole party proceeded to dinner. Mr. and
Mrs. Lincoln and “ Bon" and a, “ few invited
guests" took seats promiscuously with the
negroes, and old Abe cracked his jokes as
usual.
Now, this is all very well. Those who
contend for negro equality .should put their
professions into practice, mid this is w)mt
Mr. Lincoln is doing. As to the Bible pre
sented to the President, we doubt 'whether it
will amount to much. Mr. Bit.linc, ‘tin*
notorious Massachusetts Infidel, once said
that "we {meaning the Abolition party,)
nui.-t have un anti slavery God and an anti
slavery Bilde, or wo will have none." Mr.
Lincoln must have coincided in that opinion,
for lie appointed Bimillnuamk to one of the
more impirtant positions in his gift. The
present Chaplain to Congress denies Christ
altogether, n-nd is ub much of an Infidel a**
.ever Paint: wr.-., hut yet A was Mr, n0.;,-'*
iulluem-e that gave him his position. ITav,
most two-thirds or more of the Abolitionists
of the New Kngland Stales lire oither open
Infidels or new school Unitarians, who deny
the doctrine of the Trinity, and yet it is a
hurt tout these men are iho lVc.-ii'l"*it s advi
sors, and rccom* t he lion’s chare of the pa
tronage and stealings dispensed hy “ the Go.
vermnent/’ Old Aim, thciefore, if he is not
a fun-blooded Infidel himself, is tho houn
companion and frieni of Infidels. and the old
adage is trde which says *‘n man can be
judged hy tho chnipany ho keep-/''
Perhaps, then, (his Bible wbioli tho sable
"loyalists of Baltimore” presented to Mr.
Lincoln, is one of BnnL.-NOASfn’.s Bibles.—
Perhaps it is an “ anti-slavery Bible” and
endorsed by an “ anti-slavery God.” If it is.
then it was a proper present to nialtd to Mr.
Lincoln, and no doubt ho ’ will peruse it
carefully.

Gen. Ci;rnsii>e, it is well known, is one of
tho pets of the Administration, and a full

and shoddy contractors. Like nearly all
other intelligent soldiers, ho goes for M’-
