J&&"The Lewis tow n I democrat has at last
defined its position of what it meant by
supporting the " democratic nominee." Jt
puts up Douglas and Johnson at the head
of its columns, squints awfully at Brecken
ridge and Lane in its remarks, and devotes
a full share ol matter to Bell and Everett!
In fact, we do not see why the Democrat
does not at once put up the last named, for
ll they are half as popular as that paper
makes them out to Le, they will receive
more votes in Pennsylvania than Douglas 1
For our part, we admired John Bell as an
old whig, but John Bell with Douglas,
helped to destroy the Missouri Compromise
in 1854 —the source of all the slavery ag
itation in this country since that period—
and wc therefore can neither vote for nor
support him. In our opinion, Lincolu's
election to the Presidency will at once al
lay this agitation, both north and south,
give us a sound tariff protecting our indus
try, restore honesty and order in the gov
ernment, and bring us back to the funda
mental principles of our forefathers; hence
we are for Lincoln and Hamlin and nobody
else.
The Democrat's Freedom of Speech.
There is an old adage " that none are so
Llixid as those who will not sec"—an adage
re mar'-: ably suitable to the Democrat of
late. It -still harps on blackguardism and
licentiousness as being '• tree speech," and
continues te confound the dtVeussion of a
political question, which slavery is in all
its bearings, as being of the former .order.
A man has a right to say that in his opin
ion slavery is wrong, that it ought to be ,'
abolished, that it is productive of evil, and
that it is auti-ehristian, but he has no
right to tell the slave to cut his master's
throat to obtain his freedom. The former
is freedom of speech —the latter its licen
tiousness. By the same rule advanced in
the Democrat we ought not to say a word
against intemperance, against prostitutes,
thieves or robbers, because, forsooth, one
or the other of these parties might create
a riot, kill somebody, or burn a house i
Verily, the Democrat is hard run fur some
thing to say since it has three presiden
tial candidates, all weak in the knees at
that.
3s'i'he Lewistown Democrat lias repeat
. edly classed Gov. Seward as an aider and abet
tor of John Drawn—has published hini as a
notorious abolitionist—and applied a hundred
other epithets to him which neither were
truth nor the resemblance of truth. If that
is not misrepresenting Senator Seward, what
is it?
fygdT Richard J. Ilaldeman, Esq., the Penn
sylvania member of the National Democratic
Executive Committee, has issued an address
protesting against the action of the State
Central Committee in relation to uniting the
electoral ticket, and calling for a mass and
delegate Convention to meet at Ilarrisburg
on the 27th, when a pure Douglas electoral
ticket will be formed.
Bgi„The Democrat's story that the Gettys
burg Sentinel supports Bell and Everett is to
tally destitute of truth.
A Brief Review of the Mifflin County
Bank Charter.
The provisions of the act incorporating
the Mifflin County Bank—which became a
law without the signature of the Governor
having been published in the newspa
pers, it has no doubt been generally read,
if not criticised. As it is understood that
a sufficient amount of stock, or nearly so,
has been subscribed to put it into operation
with a capital of §200,000, provided sun
dry existing liens arc removed, the institu
tion may now be regarded as a species of
public property, and as the " public after
all are the party most interested in the cir
culation of bank notes, an examination of
the main features of the charter may not
be out of place.
In perusing the act, the first thing
which will strike the attentive reader, but J
may altogether escape the casual, is an ap
parent care to guard against fraud or wrong j
doing. To illustrate this we will quote a '
part of section 4:
'• In said t-lectioli of officers and on all oth- !
cr questions that may come before the board
every five shares of stuck shall entitle the ,
holder to one vote, except in determining what
paper may he discounted, when each stock- j
holder shall be entitled to one vote and no j
m >re, irrespective of the number of shares
held by him: and all paper offered for discount
shall be rejected if there be two or more votes j
against it. The president and cashier or any i
other officer is prohibited from discounting j
any paper unless they have written instruc j
tions signed by all the directors giving them
power to do so, and in all elections for officers
and all matters except discounting to be deci- j
ded by a vote two-thirds of all the votes shall
be necessary to a decision.''
" These are excellent provisions,'' every
reader will exclaim, and so say we ; but on
reading on to section 14 it will be seen
at a glance that section 4 is completely
nullified. Here is section 14;
" SECTION 14. That the said directors to;
meet on the Tuesday of each week and as
much oftener as they think necessary fur the
purpose of discounting or other business, at j
which time the cashier shall make a full state- |
meet of the situation of the* bank in a book :
to be kept fur that purpose, when a majority
of the directors shall be a quorum for dis
counting, but if a majority of said directors
should not attend on the days appointed, then \
and in that case any two of them shall hare j
the privilege of discounting."
These two sections are certainly an ano- j
iualy in legislation, difficult to be account- ;
ed lor except on the plea that legislators '
seldom know what they arc doing, for
while one provides that two votes shall ig- j
nore all paper offered for discount, the !
other permits that number, in case sick- ;
ness or anything else should cause an una
voidable absence of a majority, to do the
whole discounting business ! Further com
ment on this absurdity is needless, as every
person can at once imagine what a few de
signing men could do, if such should be
come stockholders now or hereafter, by
watching their opportunity.
Section 5 creates an unequal liability, by
rendering all "jointly and severally" liable
for the redemption of the notes —because
he who mortages all his property has
nothing further to lose, while he who
mortgages but a part runs tbe risk of losing
the other portion also.
Section 12 has also a remarkable feature
in it, to wit, empowering the l>ank or its
OFFICERS TO LOAN the notes of other banks,
which is also contained iu a proviso, as fol
lows :
41 Provided, That nothing in this section
shall be construed to prohibit said bank or its
officers FROM LOANING, passing and circulating
the notes of other banks in the same manner
as other banks incorporated bv the laws of
this Commonwealth may lawfully do."
The question here arises who will be its
officers 1 Ihe President and Managers con
stitute the hank, but would not this clause
empower the President and Cashier to loan
the notes of other banks without even con
sulting the managers, for they undoubtedly
constitute its officers?
Section 13 is of the same character as
those aheady quoted :
" SECTION 13. That no officer or director of
said Lank shall at any time permit the specie
or specie funds on hand to be reduced below
twenty-live per ce.it. of the ngregate amount
of notes in circulation, and should specie or
specie funds at any tin. a be so reduced it shall
not be lawful for said bO-uk to discount any
paper until said specie o" specie funds be
made to exceed said twenty-five por cent., and
any president, cashier or director who shall
allow or knowingly permit any discou.ut to be
made in violation of the provisions of this
section shall be deemed guilty of a misde
meanor and on conviction shall be fined not
less than one hundred nor more than five hun
dred dollars and undergo an imprisonment
in the penitentiary of the proper district for
a term of not less than one month nor more
than one year: Provided, that nothing in this
section shall be construed to prohibit the renew
ing of paper that has been discounted or the
discounting bills of exchange at short dates."
The casual reader will perhaps say that
this section makes it obligatory on the bank
to keep 25 per cent of the aggregate cir
i culation in specie in its vaults, but let him
scan the proviso carefully, and he will see
that there is a large loophole for paper
previously discounted. To make this
plain, let as suppose that the board at a
regular meeting first discounts to the full
amovnt of the specie on hand, which busi
net. having been disposed of, the members
(two of them, remember, according to sec
tion 14,) can renew all the notes due or be
coming due before the next meeting, whe
i ther amounting to §IOOO or §IOO,OOO, re
gardless of the specie clause ! 1 nder such
circumstances, the specie, instead of stand
ing as 1 to 4. might easily be brought to
represent 1 in 10 or 20, or even 100.
The 17th section makes provision ior
withdrawing real estate from the hank,
and but for a few lines in it would be safe
and stringent enough. The clause we re
fer to is that wherein it is provided that
the delivery of a certain amount of notes to
the Auditor General may cancel the mort
gage security. Under this provision it
would be no difficult matter, with the op
portunity spoken of in section 14, for a
friend to obtain a loan from the bank it
seif, which said friend might hand over to
the party, and he in turn deliver them to
the Auditor General —an operation which,
with a suitable friend and equally suitable
endorsers, (such as democratic bail bonds
used to be in great part,) would at once re
lease from all liability property which note-!
holders might regard as most essential to
. i
the redemption of its issues.
The first section authorizing the direc
tors to increase the capital from §200,000 :
to §500,000 is also wrong, for under it lands
of all descriptons, situate in any part of.
the State, might be taken in, such as coal,
timber, oil, Ac.
We have thus drawn the attention of j
the present stockholders to what most in
timately concerns them in the first place,
and the public next. By it they will see j
that unless they make up their minds to
place unlimited confidence in all their as- j
sociatcs, they must attend aU meetings of j
the board, and keep themselves fully post- ■
ed in the transactions of the Bank. The
best men sometimes err where money can j
easily be procured by embarking in schemes j
and speculations which ultimately prove j
their ruin, for it is not always capital that
commands success. Ilence, in this case,
with a peculiar charter, which, from its
very nature creates a monopoly of a few, j
more caution is necessary than usual. All
remember with what confidence the direc
tors of the Lewistown Bank managed its
affairs, some of them even being sanguine j
of its solvency almost until the hour when ;
it closed its doors in utter and over'whelm
ing bankruptcy; and still more recently
how Longenecker and Bach man, of the
Lancaster Bank, conducted a financiering
operation to the amount of half a million
without the knowledge of the managers —
yet those men, ' even while false to every
trust, to honor and to principle, and while
I beggaring widows and orphans, stood
high in public estimation, indeed, as second
to none for honesty and integrity. We
believe in banks, as on well-managed rail
, roads, it is necessary to public safety that
j every one concerned in its management
ought to be a spy upon the conduct and
I actions of all associated with him.
Whether our deductions of the loose
points in the charter arc correct, men vers
ed in law can determine. We point them
j out now, so that no one engaging in the
; present effort to establish a bank here can
; plead ignorance of provisions wh.ch might
be used for evil. If its affairs will be man
aged with prudence, not for a year, or two,
or three, but all the time, they may suc
ceed ; if otherwise, less than a prophet can
foretell the fate of the property invested
in it.
\Vc may pursue this subject, and in that
case our next article will be—
-Ist. The stock subscriptions, and how
made.
2d. Can a legitimate banking business
be done under this charter ?
A Breckinridge and Lane electoral
ticket will be started in lowa.
©gL.The Muncy Luminary seconds our
suggestion relative to an early Congressional
nomination, and puts up the name of Hon. ,
Jas. T. Hale.
Democrat is now supporting a sec
tional candidate, Douglas having hardly a
a grease spot left in the south.
Hale must feel bad, very bad in
deed, after learning from the Democrat, that
he could not prevent the passage of a loan to
pay off Buck's debts.
New Hampshire Democrat is
out for Breckenridge and Lane, and so is Ex-
President Pierce. One hundred guns were
fired at Concord in honor of the nominations.
Abolition journals all denounce
Mr. Lincoln because he is not an Abolitionist.
The notorious Wendell Philips calls Lincoln
the " Northern Slave Hound."
Bright admits frankly that
Lincoln will carry Indiana by a very large
majority, and does not anticipate any change
of the Democratic programme by which that
result can be affected.
present campaign is making
strange bedfellows among the democracy, the
most amusing of which is that class of edi
tors who have been berating and abusing
Forney for years, but now creep after him
under the same coverlet.
Sti>=*The Democrat says Henry D. Foster,
its candidate for Governor, 6pent weeks at
Washington endeavoring to procure the pas
sage of a tariff bill. As but four democrat
ic votes were cast for it in both houses, none
of which were influenced by him, he must
have been a very small potato among mem
bers of Congress.
LOCAL AFFAIRS.
r??L.The United Brethren purpose holding
a Bush Meeting at Freedom Ironworks,
commencing Saturday. July 21st, and contin
uing one week.
AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY. —The annual meet
ing of the Mifflin County Agricultural Society
will be held at the Town Hull, Lewistown, on
Wednesday afternoon, August Ist, at 2
o'clock, when it is hoped all favorable to the
continuance of this association will attend.
The officers to serve for the ensuing year will
then and there be elected.
GEOROE FRYSINGER, Secretary.
THE CROPS. —The weather has been very
favorable for harvesting grain during the past
few weeks, and a great part is already un
der roof. The red wheat turns out well, the
white poor. Of oats there is an ahundaut
crop, and corn, though somewhat backward
in places, is growing finely.
OATS. — A correspondent informs us that
John Miller, Jr., of Wayne township, found
a head of oats on his farm a few days ago,
measuring 22 inches in length, and contain
ing 215 grains 1 The stalk at the thickest
place measured one inch in circumference. —
This, we think no one will dispute, was a
considerable stalk.
On the farm of S. S. Woods, Esq., near
Lewistown, we learn a stalk of oats sis feet
long was taken out of a field.
BOBBERIES. —A number of watches, jewel
ry, &c. were lately stolen from the establish
ment of Nathan Wise in Belleville; several
pairs of boots and shoes and other articles
taken from the kitchen of Henry Albright
in Deny township ; a shirt, pipe, tumbler, &c.
stolen from Ab. Snyder, for which the fellow
was lodged in jail; and numerous otherpetty
depredations are constant!}- coming to light.
Keep your doors locked and bolted.
Music.—The Scott Baud of Patterson
paid our town a visit some weeke ago, and
favored us with a variety of choice pieces.
On Saturday evening the String Baud, second
to none in the interior; the L'uion Vocalists,
and a number of others cn their own hook,
seemed infected with a musical fever, giving
our citizens quite a treat of instrumental and
vocal performances, better perhaps than many
traveling concerts.
BOY DROWNED.—A boy named Abraham
B. Saxon, son tf John 11. Saxuii of Derry
township, residing near the oid mill, was
drowned in lvishacoquillas creek on Tuesday
morning. It appears that he with others was
present when the flood gates were raised for
the purpose of drawing off water from the
Lewistown Mill feeder, and cautioiK I to keep
away. They all left at the time, but he must
have subsequently returned and lingered
about the channel by which the water is con
ducted to the creek and fallen in, as his body
was found some time after in the stream
about 150 yards below witli life extinct. lie
was between 5 and G years of age. Coroner
Miller held an inquest over the body, and the
jury returned a verdict in accordance with
the above facts.
gtsgrA young lad from Ilollidaysburg de
livered a stirring temperance address in the
Town Ilall on Friday evening last.
3@=.The Eclipse of the Sun was anxiously
watched for yesterday morning by a large
number who had prepared themselves with
smoked glass, and, punctual to its appointed
time, appeared.
B@.„Water renters will do well by bearing
iu mind that at this season more than ordin
ary care in the use of water is required, and
that auy wanton waste or conversion to use for
purposes not allowed, will meet with prompt
and decided action on the part of the officers
of the company. There is a good supply in
the reservoir note, and this the board desire
to keep up if possible during the dry season,
as it not only keeps the water cooler, but in
case of fire would prove of essential benefit
to property holders.
figyLadies and Gentlemen will please
take notice that 13. K. FIROVED, (at But
ler's store,) in his usual way of doing busi
ness at this season of the year, has com
menced and will sell until the first of
September, at Reduced prices for CASH,
the following class of goods: A large as
sortment of fancy summer silks, bereges,
lawns, challies, mantles of all styles, rib
bons, bonnets, shawls &c. The goods
above enumerated will be so reduced in
price, that the Cash or good Country Pro
dace only will buy them. His customers

M'ALISTERVILLE ACADEMY.- This institution

Principal for nearly two years, and the liber

worth. We have had good opportunities

IMPECTINE.
The Persian Fever Charm,
the prevention and cure of Fever
_ and Ague and Bilious Fevers. This wonderful rem
edy was brought to the knowledge of the present pro
prietors by a friend who has been a great traveler in
Persia and the holy land.
While going down the river Euphrates, ho exper
ienced a severe attack of Fever and -Ague. On dis
covering his condition, one of the boatmen t.. kfrem
his person an Amulet, saying. •• Hear this ami e- Fete
icill touch you.' 1 Although incredulous as to its \ irtues
he complied, and experienced immediate relief, aim
has since always found it an effectual protection from
all malarious complaints.
On further investigation he found that the boatman
attributed it to miraculous powers, and said that it court
only be obtained from the Priests of the Bun. Fotm
time afterwards, the gentleman in conversing with a
Priest obtained from him the secret of its preparation.
and ascertained where the medicinal herbs
found, of which it was compounded. The wocclenjs
virtues ol this article have induced a full belief in
minds of the natives in the miraculous healing pow
ers of their priests.
Since his return to America, it has been tried with
the happiest effect by several Ladies and Gentlemen
of high character, who have given it the most untjua.-
itied praise. This remedy having been a specific m
Persia for hundreds of years, for the prevention W
cure of Fever and Ague and Bilious Fevers —is no*
offered to the American people.
It will be sent by mail, prepaid, with full direction 5
for use, on receipt of one dollar. „ _„ h
