VICTORY AHEAD I We feel assured that the Democratic party will carry Pennsylvania by a tri umphant majority on next Tuesday.— We make this statement on the highest authority, and from the result of a close and thorough canvass of the entire btate. Wo can confidently assure our Iriemls that the Democratic vote alone will bo sufficient to carry the State. In addition to this, there are many reasons why the Radical vote will fall off large ly. The sensible and conservative por tion of that party arc becoming alarmed at tire consequences of Radical rule, and many of tl\e,m will either vote the Dem ocratic ticket or remain away from the polls. They are unable to rally their friends on the issue of negro domination over white men. to this glorious result every mombci of the party can contribute by securing m his own immediate neighborhood, >uch an organization as will bring out the entire vote. If our friends would throw 11]) their hats over a Radical de feat in the State, let them go to work al once, and see that every Democratic vo ter in their several districts is at the polls on election day, A full Democrat ic vote will give a majority of twenty live thousand for Sharswood. Let our friends go to work then, from this day unlil the evening of the eighth of Octn her, if they would overthrow Radical- i.-tn with all its tyranny,corruption and insolence. Let them go to work, if thev would drive our oppressors to their ken'- m Is. Let them go to work, if they would gladden, every patriot heart from the Atlanta- to the Paeillc, from great lakes to the gulf. -Ire You Head g I _ VVt! appeal to every Democrat a Conservative in the county to get lift self ready for the fray—to at once p on hi* armor and do valiant service the good eausc. See your neighbor and know that lie intends to deposit Ids ballot oji next Tuesday. See that those who arc absent will be homo, and provide the ways and means of getting them to the polls. See that the sick, aged and iufirm are provided with conveyances, and that careful and proper persons »rc sent af ter them. See that tickets are provided and placed in sufficient quantities at proper and convenient places. See that vigilance committees are ap pointed to attend at the polls, arid that each one knows Ids position and duty, and will be on hand and attend to it. See that these arrangements, necessa ry to success, are not put off until the eleventh hour and rendered imperfect and uncertain. Vote early yourself and then be ready to attend to those who may be tardy or careless. Bo vigilant and active to socure u ftp vote and that wiii secure for you an in: doubted triumph. OfVE VOTE. Wo would impress upon all our friends tlie importance of having- out every vote. Ono vole sometimes decides an election , and aithough.’we have tilts most reliable assurances that wo will earry the State, yet lot no man think that there will be plenty of votes without him. The greater the majority we roll up this fall, the surer will be our suc cess in the Presidential canvass.

The Herald and other papers in the in terest of the Yankee jurist, Williams, have trumped up the absurd charge that Judge Sharswood is “disloyal,” and “an eneniy-ol’his country” because he delivered a judicial opinion that the legal tender act was unconsliiuboua! and improper. If lie is to be branded ns “disloyal,” because of this opinion, the leaders of the Republican party must bo placed in the same category. In Feb ruary 18U2, this act of Congress was pass ed. it was not considered a party ques tion, and some Democrats voted for it, while many leading Republicans voted against it. In the Congressional Globe , ' I’ilrt I, Second session, Thirty-seventh Congress, will bo found the speeches for and against the bill. "Wo make a few extracts from the speeches of several prominent Republicans who wore then, or afterwards became, members of the Senate. Senator Collamer, of Vermont, said: I'nmi the oxtmelfi which I have rcnil, I tlctluco Mic concltuslon, first, that such paper, put out without provision for Its payment, and underta ken to he coerced upon the comm unite bv tender ot.mves, always, in all countries,{here and else where, not only deteriorates, but I think J may safely say, Hint such paper, put out upon such hu ms and conditions, m the hMory of the world never was paid .and I shall hereafter endeavor to show whv.

Prank Jor dan thought he had discovered an im mense mare’s nest in this judicial decis ion and sent it over the State to Hunt at the editorial mast-head of every con temptible little radical sheet.

Then follow a third, fourth and fifth sections, teeming with penalties and with judicial vengeance against any and all persons who under any pretence whatever shall interpose against the complete operation of this proposed law. The Harrisburg Telegraph, the lead ing Radical orgah, outside of Philadel phia, declared in a recent issue: “ There is no doubt whatever that Congress when it meets ncj'l November willpass at an early day a general act applying to the whole country, and establishing throughout the nation the right of alt American citizens to vole, without any exclusion-on account of complexion."

Let Thom Jte.memher. Let the voters of Cumberland County remember that the Radicals of this State are pledged to procure the passage of Sumner’s hill through Congress, forc ing negro suffrage upon Pennsylvania and other States which have declined to sanction it. The Harrisburg Telegraph has boldly announced that such is the design of (ho party of which it is the recognized organ. Let them also remember that Henry W. Williams, the Imported Yankee candidate for Supreme Judge, is pledg ed to pronounce such an act of Congress constitutional and binding upon the I people of Pennsylvania. The Village liecord , a lending Radical paper, pub lished at West Chester, Ims so declared; and ho is committed, in tlto platform on which lie is nominated, to render ids judicial decisions in harmony with the political opinions of his party. The on ly hope of defeating the schemes of the Radicals is in the election of Judge Slmrswood and the defeat of his Yankee antagonist. A Ji'itll Vote! That is what wo want ip the pend ing contest—all we ask of Democrats ■throughout the comity and thu -State.— Lot there he a full poll bf our vote, and wo shall.achieve a glorious triumph.— There is no possibility of a defeat if wo lull do our whole duty. • lu this State there are nearly three thousand election districts. The ab sence of one voter in each of them would bo a serious loss. Let that be remem bered ; let it bo constantly kept in mind as an incentive to exertion. Remem ber, Democrats of Cumberland county, a full Democratic vote insures a Demo cratic victory. The Manjlnnd HleeMou The election in .Maryland resulted in another complete and glorious triumph. The Radicals wore beaten to tlie tune of twenty thousand. The adoption of tho new Constitution assures to tho people ol that Citato a Uepubliuan form of gov ernment, and does away with the in famous innovations of lire small clique ol corrupt political desperadoes who ob tained control of the government by force of bayonets during the war.— Maryland is now free in name and fact.

Our Young Democrats. Diabolical Outrage! 1 Ncyro Attempts to Commit a Kune Upon a young Lady’.—lie uses a Knife and Threatens to* Cut her Heart Out !— Great Excitement in this Community ! Ou Friday cvoulng„last, as Miss Nora Filler, daughter of Capt. Jos. Filler, was passing from tho lower part of town to her home, a few hundred yards distant just as she stepped from the northern end of tho “ wire bridge,” sho was met by a negro man, who walked past her, but im mediately turned about, and seized her attempted to gag her, and threw her to' the ground. It was then Just dusk but a cloud had arisen in tho west and a vio lent storm was approaching, which ren dered tlie evening rather dark. Still there was sunicient light for Miss Filler to recognize her assailant, and sho called “ ln ?. begging him to desist. He replied that he would ” cut her heart out ” if she resisted, and "would shoot her if she told on him,” drawiug a knife as ho said these words. Though frightened al most to death, the poor girl struggled he roically and succeeded in keeping her fiendish assailant at bay until ho heard the approach of some students going to town, which drove him away before ho accomplished his purpose Half dead with fright and terribly bruised, the young Indy went toward her home, sh riok ing and crying, aiid passed the night in'a state of .distraction. Parties who visito'd her the next day, informed us that her face was , much out, and that the marks of the negro's efforts to gag her are left on 1 her throat and cheeks. Miss Filler, on" 1 Saturday evening, made information be fore Esq. Nicodomus, charging John Bl own, a negro lately a hostler in thesta- Little, as the perpetrator ol the crime. There whs unaccountable delay in making the Information and tho allair was kept so quiet that but few per sons knew of it until Saturday evening, iv lien it became known, However, there was a universal expression of horror and indignation, and every effort was at once made to arrest the criminal, A reward Ofyiuo was raised by the citizens, and started out in every direction to hnd Brown.

Remarkable Pamphlet from David Pan! Brown, of Philadelphia. Whnt n IfOndlnflrAndicnl Inwycr Thinks or tlio Two Candidates. David Paul Brown, of Philadelphia, n iiv long AhtiliUonisl and one of the fore most lawyers of the nation, lias issued a pamphletof ten pages entitled "The Press, the Politicians, the People, and the Judi ciary.” Mr. Brown in a preliminary chap- I tor scores the political papers of the coun try, with considerable bitterness, for the exclusion from their columns, of every theory that does not coincide witli the preconcci vcdoplnionsof their conductors. His theory is that the papers should pre sent arguments on both sides of any given question, in order that the reader may ar rive at a just conclusion. We quote: I am a' Bepublicau and always have been. lam In favor of Equal Bights In ' the widest sense, and l am also an advo cate for the best men in the best and most appropriate places. Of course I am op posed, subject to these views, to mere party preference. Party adhesion should never control my choice or my vote In re gard to the candidate of any oflico, when morally and intellectually he was more competent for the discharge of its duties, than any competitor whom a political convention may think proper to nomin ate. In cases of equal claim, and equal qua!ideations, of course, as a Republican, I should cling to a Republican nominee. But even this might depend upon the na ture of the post involved in the party con tliet. If the post were purely political or would involve some principle vital to the respective parties, of course I should stand by my parly although tile adverse nomi nee were independently considered enti tled to a preference. But to come to the point, in Hie case of a nomination of a Judge op the Supreme Court, or any other Coufc, I should bo govenmd not by the question whether the candidate was a Republican or a Democrat, but whether lie was best adapted to the fulfillment of his high office; and in saying this lot it be understood, I would not approve of a party political Judge on either side, nor would I vote for any man for such a po sition who was bound to any programme winch might influence him in the dis charge of ilia high and Impartial funo tious. 1 concur In the doctrine of the Demo | cratio programme “ that a wise, upright and fearless Judiciary is the greatest bul n?‘i k t °n P u J ,l i.° safety and individual Bights, and I concur also in the truth of the declaration, “ that in the nomination of George Sharswood for a place on the Supreme Bench of the State, they have fP^t® d a man who Is In ail respects wor thy of the confidence and support of those who are in favor of an enlightened, faith ffil and Impartial administration of the Mr. Brown dissents from the remainder | of the Democratic platform ; but this does not prevent his supporting Judge Share wood.

X say, then, competency is everything and that admitted ago is nothing. The ilrst question then should be, who is the most competent man ? Now is there a person in this community if left to his unbiased reason, who“oouid hesitate in deciding that question? Ho has oil the facts and daily proofs before hinn In every essential of a judge, the President of the District Court of this County has no superior; in calmness, mildness, af fability, moderation, Inflexibility and In undoubted learning, he stands pre-emi nent in this political controversy. But, we are told that lie is aillllated with tlio Democracy. Weil, if that con sideration should bo understood to ulfecl , Ills unbending rectitude and conscienti ous duty, it undoubtedly would be a se rious .objection. But in the long course of the exercise of his judicial functions, though it is possible lie may have erred in judgement—for there is but one Judge that can never err—no instance cun bo referred to calculated to casta shadow on the disc of ids fair fame. Now, in regard to ids compotl'lor-he wo are told, is a Ilepubllcan. Well, lie IS ail tlie bettor for that; but as one error should not blast a Judge, (if there bo one), so one virtue should not mute a judge therefore mere itepublicanism cannot be conclusive proof of competency. But what else is said in his behalf? Ho is but forty-six years old I As X have else where intimated, this is notan advantage to a judge—long experience is very es sential to a judge. Lord jVlanslicld was over Jifty when lie took his seat as Chief- Justice of England and remained upon the bench thirty-two years, when lie re signed in possession of all his faculties being over the ago of eighty years, and novel-surpassed by any judge in England or elsewhere. Chief-Justice Marshal held his post as long, in the full vigor of intellect and power; and Chancellor Kent, who was legislated out of ollicc. died at the ago of eighty-four, in the pos session of judicial faculties which the combined learnlngof all the judgesln Ids si , nco i,is Brno, would scarcely rival. Tiie fuefc of Judged Williams boihg but forty-six years old, may bo the ground of a presumption that he, by duo efforts may live to be an eminent judge, but we are to reiy rather upon facts than fanaj. We have in Judge Sharswood, the assar- SH?, e ,, 0{ qualities that in the case of Judge Williams, at the best, we have only the promise of. Which, then, let me ask, would be the more reasonable choice ? It takes twenty years to make a lawyer, and even then ho has something to learn! A good judge would require nearly all that time on the score of more legal com petency, and he should necessarily im prove during that time, in his Aptitude for business in his self-control,ln his temper and demeanor, for ail these things enter .into the formation of his Judicial Now, can it be supposed that f e y.? ea , ra ‘l>nt Judge Williams has occupied the bonchat Pittsburg, hav ng comparatively limited Jurisdiction, that he could have derived those advan tages In the formation of ajudge, which an » necessarily acquired and fully ex limited on the part of his antagonist dur ing more than twenty years I to,d . ulfi o. that Williams is a '? of Connecticut, and wasgeaduated with honor, at Yale College.

The accident oo olined at the western end of town, near the Company’s warehouse. He was ear ned to his home in this place on a settee, and has since been lying there In a very! critical condition, y Wo were informed in oojiueotion with another accident o„ this road, a short time ago, that the Cumberland Valley ■IW raail Company not only, fall to make the least provision for tbp conpfqrt of their employees who may ha injured i„. the servlpe of the Company, but refuse to nl lo\Y thpir wages to run on while they, are disabled.

Mr. Criswell’s horses and carriage were rescued, ibut a valuable sleigh and a quantity of hay and tee,l were also destroyed. The stable Inuuo diately adjoins a large frame warehouse also the property of Mr. Criswell, which is located on the railroad, almost imnic dintoly opposite the Union Hotel proper ty, and this building was also destroyed It had been used by Criswell & Morrow as n forwarding and commission warehouse Fortunately they had recently shipped« largo quantity of grain to the cities, mm there were 'only some fifty bushels of wheat and about five hundred bushels of ■ oats consumed. From the Warehouse the fire was coin muhicated to the residence of Capt, Eph., ralm Mull, also on the railroad, and lap. mediately across the alley; and it was only with the greatest exertions of the firemen and citizens that the house was saved. The stable of Mrs. Wolf, and several other stables and neighboring residences were on fire, but fortunately the ravages of the flames were staid, before greater damage was done. Our friend of the Valley Sentinel, whose office adjoins the warehouse, had a warm time of it, and sends us word that his rol lers were molted and his material consul, orably damaged. The fire was undoubtedly the work of an incendiary, and wo understand sus* pielon rests upon a colored man dischanr ed by Mr. Criswell, the day before, and who was seen around the premises short ly before tbo fire broke out. Wo believe Mr. Criswell was fully surfed, . *■ Young Men’s Christian Ahsocia tion.— The commodious and neatly fur nished rooms of the Young Men’s Chris tian Association, on the South-west cor ner of the Public Square and Main street were dedicated on Monday evening lasi The rooms are open for visitors every eve riling.

We hjive long believ ed that such an association as this, by af fording a pleasant room aud good sub stantial reading to our young men; would 'be of incalculable benefit to the commu nlty; and now that the project has been so favorably inaugurated, we trust it will meet with hearty encouragement from all classes of our citizen's.
