Lancaster. Harrisburg, and neigh noring '

J. WALTERS Esq., as Chief Marshal, which

Tlie Prospect.
The Tdlo-' ing paragraph from th<*- N' w-
Yv.rk l)av lbook, a journal which does not
take side either for Scott or Pierce, may show
something of the present tendency of public
sentiment:
" There is no denying that General Scott's
prospects are growing brighter, and His
friends more confident of bis success. The
apathy that everywhere prevailed, during the
-uinnicr months, is now giving way to ex
citement and enthusiasm. Our exchange
pipers from Kentucky, Tennessee, Ohio, In
diana, and even Michigan, contain glowing
accounts of enthusiastic Scott meetings, and
V hiw* in each State confidently assert their
ir.wor to carry all cf those States for Scott.
lichigan, Gen. Cass's State, it is belie veil by
Then:, will surely go for the hero of all the
.vr.rs we ever had ! There are any number
o Fre"-S iiier in Michigan who will vote the
Whig ticket, and with their popular candi
date for Governor thcr" is great probability
that the State will go for Scott, It is useless
to shut our eyes to the truth ; and that then
has been a great change in the aspect of
things, within the last few weeks, no one can
deny?'
.Our pen may not be over sharp or very
pointed, but our neighbor down street wiii re
member that a duller one than it could easily
convict Woodward of tergiversation by Ins
own writings, which, despite locofoco endorse
ments, show him to be at best but " email po
tatoes," sprinkled with an over-anxious desire
for office.

The Pierce and King fandango will come off
to-morrow, when we may expect some rich
scenes of ground and lofty tumbling in this
effort "to preserve a healthy equilibrium in
political system "
Our Ticket*
An incidental remark some weeks ago .
tliat the candidates nominated by the whigs j
of were " fresh from the ranks of ,
the people," has called forth a deal of com- ,
tnent in several numbers of the Democrat, !
which we think affords rather conclusive evi
dence that that ticket is stronger in the affect- ■
ions of the people than is agreeable to our j
opponents. The simple fact that not one of
the whig candidates sought office, either di
rectly or indirectly, while the reverse is the ,
case with our opponents, is one well calcu- j
late 1 to draw public attention, for the tax- J
payers are pretty well satisfied by this time j
that office-seekers are not the best men in the
world to trust with the situations they seek.
A nifj-ritv of the people have now for several
years, with a single exception, ratified the
doings of the few who in caucus designated
candidates without regard to the will or wishes
of the voters,and then under party management
and drill, enforced their election; buttheinjust
i.*e frequently exercised against deserving
men, has awakened a feeling that there is
something radically wrong in tlte system
which cau thus be abused and tortured into
uses so contrary to the spirit and genius of
true democracy, and if this feeling should
lead to a rejecti. a < f those nominated in this
manner, it will be M because they are sati>-
fied that nothing -bort of tl.i- will arouse
party h-a-ier& and intriguers to a souse of
right.
S v wL : gs in thu Of"■'.•nty have every in
dtK-ns' ot i" make a det .rmineti effort in fa
v r tl.-ir ttare and c-.un*y ticket, and if
once successful in restoring a healthy rdrtiui
r th- -n ti- an i r ;::r w- may th-nce
f rwar i 1 V *' r a lease or a sale of these
expensive w< rks, v. Inch now absorb hun- I
In-ds vf ti: ui 1- of '' ..liars .f taxes paid j
by burn-: r "an ! there to in ■ t the interest in
ctirr* d ii; iheir o n.-iraction. But so long a>
th- y •in be us'd as a vast party machine to
supj rt and enrich thousands who would I
otherwise have to labor a.- other men lalior.
and so 1 : r as the people will aid in placing
in office jtoliiicians who care more for party 1
and self than the people, there will Ke no
reform, and ii" diminution of taxation.
The Canal Commissioner.
II ipkin , it seems, i" a reliable man, " with
public exjitri' r.cc and general qualifications
equal to the post of (.'anal Commissioner, or
any other which might be assigned hiui"—
which interpreted into plain English, means
we suppose that Hopkins would be tit for i
Presideut it a locofoco convention of politi
cal hucksu rs could agree on no one else, and
therefore set him up as they lately did another
" great man.'' whose light thus tar had been .
hid under a bushel. We begin to believe 1
ourselves that Hopkins is a " reliable man,"
at least to that portion of the democracy
which delights to call ' r-1 f the people, and
enjova the benefit of lining pockets from the
State Canals and Railroads. W incline to !
this opinion from the following statement :
published in tie Washington Corn in on wealth,
which, after quoting the law creating the of
fiee of Commissioner of the Cumberland
Road, fcavs:
'• In pursuance of the enactment of this
law several citizens of this county i < came
applicants for the cfihe of Commissioner of
the Roail; but Mr. Hopkins came home,
either with the appointment IX IIISI'OCKKT,
or he received it from the Governor inunodi- i
arely after his arrival here. He was charged
at the time with unfairness; and it wae al
leged that the office of commissioner was
created at his spe< ial instance and request
and for his pers.-md benefit and behoof. It
has since b'-en ABOLISHED! us was the
Land Office vi.H• he tear in </, —as partaking
too much of a sinecure character.
By s " tioiis of the a.'t above quot'-d it was
made the duty of the Commis ioner. to give
an a-eount of his stewardship at stated
periods.
Wo have labored in vain to get hold of:
th< -e tii st accounts, but hope to find them •
}icfi.i • <n,r next i --no. We have before us, t
however, cm,- of i!m accounts of Mr. Hop
kins. which we stumbled upon in a No. of
the " Examiner" newspaper printed in IrM*.
From this w gal hr cnuugh facts to startl
the honest >''>'■ r.
" it is an account of the receipts and expen
ditures r f ti)'- road from the first of Januarv
to the 7h of dune, 1848 inclusive, —making
159 days including every SABBATH DAY,
for whteh time WILLIAM HOPKINS, the
present Democratic candidate for ("anal Com
missioner, has charged the people the sum of
>•">10, when the act of A'-scmbly LIMITED
him to $0 per day, for every day NECES
SARILY employed on the road! Figures j
won't lie—and let us examine them :
109 days at SO per day, $477.
But that won't make up enough ; let's try
it again:
10-i days at $3 per da)*, 495.
Still we ar<- behind the mark ; we'll give
it anothertrial:
172 days at S3 per day, $5lO.
That fits exactly. Now we have the START
LING I ACT that Mr. Hopkins ha 6 charged
the people at die rate of S3 per day for'Hi IK- j
TEEN DAYS more than can be counted from
the first of January to the 7th of June inclu
sive, counting in EVERY SUNDAY. But
suppose we deibc' //.,> Sabbath days which oc
cur within this period. Then the case will
stand thus; ,
From 159, take 20, which leaves 139.
Then 159 days at $3 makes $417.
Showing that while Mr. Hopkins was en
titled to receive only >'ll7, according to his
own account, he has really kept $5Pi! that
while he should have charged for but 139davs I
he really charged fur 172! being TIIIRTV
-lIIRLE working days more than can be com
puted within the period stated in his account."
ihere can be no mistake in the reliable
ness of such a man ibr Canal Commissioner,
as, if ♦Doted, wou Jd pu},li c plun
derers exactly. 1 hey do not want a man in
mat station who cannot count more that 365
eats in a year, and having thus shown his
capacity for liberal allowances, extra jobs,
&c„ the taxpayers must lie a hard hearted
set if they do not vote for him to the further
detriment of their purses.
Beware .f fogs, as you value health.
A Tribute to Scott.
Ex-Governor Lucas, of lowa, who was
President of the National Convention which
nominated Jackson for the second term, Las
come out with a strong and sensible letter in
favor of General Scott. He says, in explana
tion of the change:
1 have, sir, as you know, always been a
; democrat; I was horn a democrat, and I ex
pect to live the balance of my days a- such,
and then die a democrat.
I supported Thomas Jefferson f**r the Pres
i idency : 1 supported Mr. Madison for two
i terms, Mr. Monroe twice, and was one of the
| electors in Ohio that voted for Mr. Monroe at
, the time of his election. In 1824 1 was
! placed at the head of the Jackson electoral
1 ticket in Ohio : in 1828 was chosen an elec
tor in that State, and gave my vote a such
for General Andrew Jackson. I was Presi
j identof the Democratic National Convention
I at Baltimore in ltJ2, which nominated Gen,
i Jackson for re-election, and recommended
: Martin Van Buren as a candidate for Vice
I President on the -ante ticket. I supported
Mr. Van Buren for the Presidency in '. v .6 and
I '4O. I voted for General C'ass in '4B, and
should freely vote for him again, were he a
candidate, lhe:-e are so many proofs of my
title of democrat. This title has been well
earned, and my right t< it shall never be im
paired. Jht! I cannot supjc/rf Franklin Pierce
by word or deed for the important office of
President, conststent tr 'h Ihe principles tchich
I haw ever as a democrat intnlaiio d. nor teilk
the voluntary pledges that J made to the Demo
cratic Convention r.f (/hi", which nominated
me in Its:'. 4 ;i> a candidate lor re-election to
the office of Govern* rof thatflourbhing State,
the-*- pk-dgv- is-dig as follow- :
'• My motto ha.-* been, Principles, Mea
sures, and men that will carry principles into
effect. And you msiv rest assured that what
ever may be lay station or situation in life,
you will always find ut<- iu the ranks of de
mocracy, supporting the principles and mea
surer that w-re prdV-r- l and acted upon in
the administrate n of a Jefferson, a HaJuon,
and a Jacks n, and MI h men as will carry
their principles and mca urts into effect."
The position Mr. Pierce ha- ever occupied,
in Congress or any other public stations, in
refer*.-.ice to questions vital to "Western pros
perity, has been antagonis i -al to those which
were advocated and dearly cherish -d by those
eminent statesmen, whose election to the
Presidency I most heartily and cordially ad
vocate*!. Th*y taught, and 1 have always
believed, that the Constitution vests iu Con
gress t lie power to op* n and repair harbors
and remove obstructions from navigable riv
er-; and that it w is expedient that Congr*.-.
i -hould exercise such power whenever such
improvements are necessary for common de
fence—fur the protection and facility of com
merce with other nations or among the States
—said improvements being national ami gen
eral in their character. I understood Mr.
Pierce to superadd to the above doctrine. a
protiso to the effect that the waters on which
the.-- improvements are proposed to be made,
shall be salt, and that they shall he moved by
tides. He has, in effect, declared that the
depth of waters to be improved, nor their ca
pacity f**r trade among the States, forms no
criterion for a just demand upon federal pro
tection. Hi- political history, as collected
from his letter- to the Committee of the Con
vention, accepting his nomination to the Pres
idency in the terms set forth in the platform,
furnish evidence of h*s hostility to all the
prominent measures which tend to Western
prosperity—of which internal improvements
; arid domestic industry are the most impor
! taut.
As a Western man, therefore, and as an
original Jackson democrat, as a friend to all
Internal Improvement*, and to the protection
and encouragement of American Industry, I
c mnot and will not support -ueh u man as
Franklin Pierce, for the Presidency. And as
there are now hut two prominent candidates
before the American r*op!e, namely, General
Winfield Scott and Franklin Pierce, one of
whom will necessarily be elected the next
President, I shall most eh> rfully and freely
give my rote and influence to tjmcrat St off.
I belic.ce him by far the best democrat of the
two, an*! one to whom every friend of the
West particularly, and to Internal luiprove
: merits, and to the protection and promotion
of American Industry, ought to prefer and to
cordially support.
Trusting that my position and views may
b* 1 fully understood, an*! with the warmest
wishes I.r the success of the friends of West
ern Improvements, and for suitable protection
and encouragement to American Industry,
I remain, trulv, your obedient servant,
ROBERT LUCAS.

I'lahi talk about Itingharn Dock's Con
tract.
The Editor of the Lycoming Democrat, in
his paper of September 18t !i, talks thus of the
Canal Comissioners' monopoly on the Phila
delphia and Columbia railroad :
l "We cannot close this article without call- 1
ing the attention of our plundered fellow tax
payers to the last dodge—the last swindle—
the last outrage perpetrated on the public
works under the official sanction of the Canal
i Board. It is well known that the Columbia
Railroad, like the other State improvements,
! was ostensibly constructed for the benefit of |
the citizens of this common wealth. Compa
nies and private individuals had the right to |
| run passenger cars over the road provided
they paid over to the State agent a certain
sum tor every passenger they carried, in ad
j dition to the payment fur the motive power
furnished. Within a few weeks, the Canal
Commissioners have bad the cool effrontery
J to trample upon private and public rights,
and to sot the law and fair dealings at open
and, thus far, successful defiance. Without
a public letting or a public notice, they have
granted to the firm of Messrs. Bingham it
Dock, of Philadelphia, the exclusive privilege
of transporting passengers over the Columbia
ttailroad. They have driven off the road the
passenger cars of the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company—the passenger cars of Gen. D. Mil
ler—and the passenger cars of every individu
al who sought to obtain an honest livelihood
by the use of what was oucc believed to be a
public work—a public work that was said to i
[ !>e constructed, not for the use of the Canal
Commissioners, or the Canal Commissioners'
toadies and favorites, but for the use of the
whole people of the whole State. Buttlieedict i
has gone forth ! The monopoly is now com
plete ! No man, woman or child can travel
over the State road unless he or they take i
passage in the cars of Bingham A Dock !
. And yet these Canal Commissioners, before
they were elected, prated much and prated loudly
about democracy, equal rights, aud the sover
j eign will of the people. Of all cants in this
canting world, preserve us from the cant of
democracy and patriotism as it falls from the i
lip sand oozes from the pens of your thoroughly
trained off* - ** holders and office beggars."
Gen. Scott's visit to the west for the pur
pose of selecting a suitable site for an army
asvlum, has called forth demonstrations from
the people unequalled for many years, and
proved too that the old hero can talk as well \
as fight. At Columbus, Ohio, his attention
was called to a villainous publication made
in that State that he had hanged fifteen Ger
mans in Mexico without trial, and he im
mediately gave an emphatic denial to the vile
imputation.
" Gentlemen, it icas my lot to lead an
American army upon a foreign field. 1
went, resolved to sustain, in the fore-front of
my progress. the hiyh-tidc-watei-mark of our
own American Virilization, in all its moral
and civil virtue. The standard of our own
and not the practices of that foreign country,
was the standard which I sought for the
government of men's passions and the con
trol of the license and excesses of war.
Alike to Americans, whether native or foreign
birth, and to Mexicans, I declared my pur
pose, and exhibited my principles of action.
" I promulgated the martial code. Doubt
less you all have read it, I deemed it neces
sary. I could do nothing without it. It an
nounced the spirit of our progress, and held
amenable to punishment all who forgot
manhood, and threatened to bring shame
upon our fiag—dishonor to our arias —or a
reproach upon our virtue Without it we
had uot conquered, or if we had conquered,
the bright trophy of our conquest had been
wanting. It would have been a physical tri
umph, and a physical triumph alone. Hu
manity would have disowned us. i promul
gated that order, llead it, and read again,
gentlemen, and thou bear me witness that it
was in my heart, as it was almost hourly on
my lips, for continued months, to carry with
American arms, ami under the American
Hag, even into the enemy's country, all the
elements of social order, and that regard for
personal right, that belonged to our" wn free
institutions in the United State*-.
" Gentlemen," lie coninued, some per
sons were hanged in Mexico. The names of
all of thein Ido not recollect. Whether any
were Germans or not I know not. Hut for
what—ye*, for what were they hanged ? 1
hanged one for murder, gentlemen : I hanged
one for rape upon an innocent young female,
and for profane and wicked church rubbery.
All knew the law that w;i.- ov t them. Every
man uf them knew that he would l*e iield a?
answerable for vile misd' ods against the law
of God and man, as if he were then upon
American soil!"
In this strain General Scott continued, and
it is impossible, say the Columbus Journal,
to convey- to the mind of the reader the man
ner in which this magnificent speech was ut
tercd. it was loftily, splei l didly eloquent, in
the very highest acceptation of the term.
The scathing, withering indignant b>ok and
tone with which the denial and denunciation
were enunciated, startled, electrified the au
dience. It was an entire impromptu affair.
Not a word had been premeditated—not an
idea before conned over. The foul charge
was pointed out to him there, for the firxt
time, and h" lost not a moment till he branded
it as its wicked enormity deserved.
ANOTHER OKEF.R i —Our neighbor takes us
to task this week on account of Pierce, and
after asking us t-> publish a letter from Col.
Magruder, at once answers for u- that we
will not do it. Did Magrud r's letter meet
th charge made by Captain McLane, we
would certainly give it a place in our col
umns, but as it does not, we can scs nothing
in it gerntan to that matter. So far as
Pierce's gallantry is concerned, we have here
tofore given hU otfii Official - patche* to show
that he saw but little fighting—that he f"ll
from his horse—and that at another time he
fainted; and any statements conflicting with
these, whether offered as parole or other
evidence, must be received with due grains of
allowance, or if received at all, die alterna
tive must rest somewhere of hating stated
what is not the fact.
Footing Up. —Missouri, lowa and Maine
arc the only States which have yet elected
members to the next Congress. In the year
of General Taylor's election, they chose three
whigs to eleven locofocos, but one of the three
whigs (D. F. Miller, of lowa,) was cheated
out of his scat by the stealing of the Kanes
ville poll book, so that the returns stood,
whigs 2, opposition twelve. Now those same
States have chosen six whigs and seven oppo
sition.
GREAT ROBBERY. —East evening E. G. Mc-
Kie, of Troy, N. Y„ a wool buyer well known
in this section of the country, was robbed of
$48,000. lie had placed the money, three
packages, between the mattresses of his bed
room at the \\ eddel House, and on
going to his room at nine o'clock found the
money missing. Mr. McKie had been ac
customed to place his money in his bed, as
on yesterday, for many years, and always
until yesterday with safety. lie was about
to leave for Pittsburg this morning. A
reward of $5,000 is oflered for the recovery
of the money.— Cleveland Herald S<pi. 22.
