The Patent Democracy.
'I here is but one faint glimmer of Lope
with which the discordant elements of pat
ent democracy now console themselves, and
that is that a sufficient number of old line
whigs and others may be mustered togeth
er cither in New \ork or Pennsylvania
who, by their support of Bell and Everett,
might prevent ttic direct election of Bin
coin and Hamlin, and thus throw the pres
idency into the House. As an old whig,
John Bell in our opinion stood by the side
of Crittenden and other patriotic men who 1
through long years fought the common en
emy ot our illustrious leader, Henry Clay;
but John Bell, in 1851, voted lor the re
peal ol the Missouri Compromise, thus open
ing the slavery agitation which ha 3 ever
since convulsed this country, and aiding to
destroy what Henry Clay had battled for
from 1820 to the day of his death. Ed
ward Everett was once a whig—what is he
now ? Why a year or so ago he almost en
dorsed the infamous acts of James Buchan
an's administration ! Let all such men
pause and reflect. TV e neither endorse
nor approve the Chicago Platform in all its
parts, but we do endorse its candidates,
lheii election will do more to yuiet slavery
agitation and put down the disunion
tiaitors in the &outh } who are now and
have been infecting the southern people
with the idea of establishing a Southern
Confederacy, than anything that could oc
cur. Their election will ensure tiie pas
sage OF A SOUND TARIFF BILL giving
Protection to Pennsylvania Industry in
common with other sections—for by their
votes in the House and Senate on that
question the Kepublicans have bound them
selves to aid the representatives of the
People s Party of this and other States to
pass such a bill. Their election will put
a stop to the foul corruptions which have,
in a time of peace, increased the expendi
tures of our government from fifty to from
eighty to one hundred millions of dollars
per annum, and effect other changes impor
tant to the wellbeing of our country. These,
aside from aught else, are cogent reasons
enough lbr all patriotic men to lay aside
prejudices of all kinds, and vote for those
most likely to succeed, even if they do not
exactly square with their ideas. LIN
COLN CAN BE ELECTED —probably
will be—by un overwhelming vote, and the
greater that vote the better for our coun
try's future; but, let the Presidency be
thrown into the House, and the people will
witness a scene of corruption, bribery, in
trigue, and every species of villainy, such
as few have conceived possible, which will
end in the election of a B- ttedi t Arnold
to the President's ehair. Men, Patriots,
all who love your country, pause and re
fleet before it is too late !
Extract from a Letter to the Editor-
" I have read with considerable care and
interest your editorial strictures on the Char
ter of the Mifflin County Bank. It appears
to m:? that, if we admit the mortgages on un
encumbered real estate to be a sufficient se
curity, then there can be no danger so far as
j the circulation is concerned. That can nev
!er exceed the amount of the mortgages. If
mortgages are given to amount of $200,0000,
then that amount of notes, and no more, dT
the Mifflin County Bank would be in circu
lation. To he sure they might loan —not
borrow —the notes of other banks—pass them,
and circulate them —if they had them on de
posite, received them in payment of debts
due the Bank, or otherwise—in the same
manner other banks do: but they could nev
er have more than $200,000 in notes of the
Mifflin County Bank out in the community.
As to withdrawing the mortgages, that can
only be done by surrendering to the Auditor
General a corresponding amount of the notes
of the Mifflin County B ink. Thus, if a man
has given a mortgage for $30,000, he, or his
representative after his death, or the Bank,
must deliver up for cancellation $30,000 in
notes of Mifflin County Bank, before the lien
on the real estate pledged can be released, i
If the circulation was $200,000, this opera- j
tion would reduce the circulation to $170,000
—and so on, lodes quoties.
The 13th is probably the most objectionable
section in the bill, and made so by the provi- I
so. It may be so worked as to reduce the j
proportion between specie and specie funds j
to circulation of Mifflin County Bank notes
to less than 1 in 4, by the process of renew
ing old paper and discounting bills of ex- I
change at short dates. lam not sufficiently ;
Conversant with Bank business to tell exact
ly how this Would work. Still there is this
in it, that under all circumstances the mort
gage security to an amount equivalent to the
notes issued to the Mifflin County Bank
would remain unimpaired for the protection
of the note holders ; and it strikes me that
the requisition of one in specie to four in j
circulation is a secure one, when the other j
security is superadded, if we admit that se- '
curity to be valid, substantial and adequate, •
which I do not propose to discuss, as it opens j
too wide a field, and depends upon a great !
many contingencies and circumstances."
Although a private letter from an es
teemed friend, wc give the above extract
a place in our paper for public information.
The security of the notes in the main we
have never doubted, though some loss
might be sustained bv property failing to
bring its appraised value at a cash sale;
but our remarks last week had little refer
ence to the relation of note holder and safe
ty. They were principally addressed to
those who it is understood have invested
their property in a business entirely new
to them, and from which they of course
expect to realize advantages or they would
hardly embark in it. For their benefit we
pointed out radical defects in the charter
which might be used for evil, and, should
the institution go into operation, and the
future prove our opinions to be correct,
these men will have to lay the blame on
themselves should their property be sacri
ficed lor the redemption of the notes.
The mere issuing of notes is but a small
part of banking. In this case, each
note will represent so much land, and the
man who pays out ?")0, §OO, or more or
less, is handing over an acre of farm land
or an interest in other property, subject
however to what it will sell for, just as oth
er property is held under mortgage. In
the meantime the institution is daily lia
ble to be culled on for specie for these is
sues, and if unable to redeem them, it
must fail. Now, there is but one way to
avoid this, and that is to secure public con
fidence from the start —that kind of confi
dence which will induce noteholders to
feel secure under all circumstances in lay
ing aside these notes, and when specie
funds are wauting that they can be had on
demand.
Without at this time entering into any
discussion as to the modus operandi by
which this bank is to be put into operation,
we will only remark that unless this is
done, a considerable portion of its capital
must be continually absorbed in providing
specie to meet its liabilities, and thus in
stead of having the advantage of banking
merely on landed estate, it will have the
disadvantage of being thrown on a bona
fide cash capital, the interest of which
would absorb the profits When it does
go into operation, however, we shall soon
see what its management will be, and un
til then we will withhold further remarks
on that seore.
SfcS"A fishing party of five persons among

THE HAPPY FAMILY.
A DEMOCRATIC TAIL.
We continue this week to give extracts
from democratic newspapers showing the
happy feelings existing among the unter
rified. The Huntingdon Globe, Douglas
paper, has the following :
Who are in favor of a Compromise on a
Disorganizing Electoral Ticket ? —lst, Bu
ehanan and his office-holders. L'd, a majori
ty of the office hunters in every county—men
who want a nomination and an election to
Congress, to the State Senate, to the House
of Representatives, and to the county offices.
Independent and con-latent Democrats —men
who can be relied upon when their party is
! in danger of being ruled to rum by political
desperadoes, have hut one opinion, and that
opinion for the public ear. IV e want no cow
ards in our ranks—we want men to take their
| positions boldly for or against the regular Na
tional Democratic nominees, Douglas and
j Johnson—no others are worthy of a political
; trust —no others are deserving of public con
fidence—no others should receive the support
of democratic voters. The great National
Democratic party of the Union has enemies
in its camp, and he who halts between two
! opinions as to his duty to his party and the
country, cannot expect the frieuds of Douglas
and Johnson to give him their support. If
the present National Democratic organization
should be destroyed, an example will be set
j by the highest authority to justify disorgaui
zation in the ranks of the democratic party in
every State, county and township organiza
tion. The democratic party mag be defeated
next fall by the action of the disunionists and
those under their iufluence ; but there will be
a future—a future wheu the Democracy will
triumph—then the disunionists and disorgan
izes of the present day will be remembered
but to be loathed and despised as having been
enemies to their party and their country.
The Juniata Register, a Rreck and Lane
sheet, in an article on harmony, says:
We this week strike from the list of Presi
dential Electors the names of two glorious
traitors to the Democratic party, Richard
Yaux and Jesse R. Crawford, and their pla
ces shall be vacant until they are regularly
supplied by the Democratic State Central Coin
mittee. These men have refused to acquiesce
in the compromise, a„d declared their deter
mmation in case of their election to vote for
Stephen A. Douglis from first to last. The
Democratic party must come out boldly
against treason, and we therefore repudiate
them and refuse to disgrace our columns aud
insult the sterling democracy of Juniata coun
ty by classifying them among the Democratic
Electors.
The Lancaster Inquirer, (Douglaspaper,)
is down on compromise in all shapes. It
says:
Never more was compromise the offspring
of weakness, than when the opponents of
Douglas, who have followed on his track for
years with undeviating and pertinacious bru
tality, after they have suffered defeat at every
turn—their falsehoods exposed and their strat
agems to defeat the people trampled under
foot and broken by the honest enthusiasm of
the masses—now, when he has triumphed over
his enemies, and all that the ingenuity of
malice and the skill of bitter partizanship
could devise, ask those who have stood by
him in the trials to which his defence of Dem
ocratic principles has exposed him. who
through good and evil report have sustained
him for the sake of the cause which he so no
bly advocated, to compromise with them. And
what sort of a compromise is asked ? It is a
compromise that should call the blush of
shame to the cheek of any Democrat that
would consent to it. What compromise can
men who have fought for a principle and won
the battle, be asked to have with those who
have scoffed at that principle, and asserted
desperately and vindictively that they would
never give it their support. What compro
mise can Democrats have with Disunionists
who bolted from a Democratic Convention be
cause it would not hoist the Disunion flag?
Such a compromise would justly excite the
derision and contempt of all honest men in
the countrv.
The Huntingdon L'nion, a paper still on
the fence, gets wrotliy at our Jesse and talks
of him as follows :
For a Democratic elector to say that " a
profound sense of his obligations to the Demo
cratic party" constrains him to withhold his
assent from the action of the State Committee,
and then recognize as his political organ the
sheet of John W. Forney, is an act of as cool
impudence as a man could well commit. But
we will not indulge in the reflections which
the course of Mr. Crawford irresistibly calls
forth. Wo had hoped that he would gladly
acquiesce in any compromise that would de
feat" Lincoln, and thus truly represent the
wishes of the great majority of the Democrats
of this district. But he has thought proper
to pursue another course and to declare him
self opposed to union and harmony. We
have no right to question his motives, but we
have the right to question his democracy.—
Mr. Crawford cannot bo insensible to the fact
that his course, iustead of benefitting Doug
las and the party, tends directly to defeat the
one and disrupt the other. He has given his
influence —whatever it is—to Forney and his
coadjutators in their efforts to prevent a union,
upon a fair bass, of all wings of the party in
this State against the Republican ticket, and
upon him must rest the responsibility of the
result. We have but to add, that Jesse R.
Crawford will not receivo five hundred votes
in this county.
The Chambersburg Valley Spirit declares
that—-
' The leading men and the leading papers of
the party, all over the country, are rallying
to the support of Douglas and Johnson. On
ly a few parasites of the Administration here
and there hold out against the regular nomi
nation of the party, and many of these ap
pear heartily ashamed of the mutinous plot
to which they are unwilling victims. Could
any course be more suicidal, or could a party
be more blind to its OWD interests, than to
differ about men and sacrifice both friends
and principles in the quarrel ? We cannot
believe tha* any great portion of the Demo
cratic party are so stupid as to commit such
an egregious blunder, and thus give the pow
er of the government for another Presidential
cycle to their political opponents."
The Lewistown Democrat has an article
on Mr. Haldeujan, member of the Doug
las National Committee, in which that
member is switched considerably. From
the winding up we are led to infer that
our neighbor bas got into bad company
and don't know bow to get out of it. By
the by, we would recommend that paper
to republish its articles ou " Compromises" j
addressed to the know nothings in 1850,
as quite applicable to the democratic fac
tions now. If he wrote the truth then,
it is quite clear that compromises are
cheats, and that either the Bieckites are
trying to cheat the Douglasites, or the lut- ;
ter the former:
41 This movement is made on the ground of
great devotion to certain peculiar doctrines
of Judge Douglas. Does the representative
of the National Committee from this State do
it for such reasons ? lie has opposed the
doctriue for two years past with all the abili
ty he possessed, during all that time he claim
ed to be a devotee of Mr. Buchanan and was
a familiar pet of the Administration at Wash
ington. During this time, too, he was distin
guished for the bitterness, the vileness, the
indecency and vulgarity of his abuse of
Judge Douglas' leading friends in this State,
through the columns of the llarrisburg Pat
riot and Union, of which he was then editor
and proprietor. There are few of Judge
Douglas* leading friends in the State whom
he did not insult through his columns, not on
ly by the grossness of his personalities, but
by charging and insinuating the gravest
crimes against them. Now Ac comes forward
and asks that the party may be divided,
Judge Douglas, Gen. Foster, all the Deano
cratic nominees, and the party itself, defeat
ed, in order to vindicate the personal honor
and the measures of the men he has so sav
agely abused and opposed?? Whoever is
blinded by such conduct is surely dull of
sight.
The only reason for forming another elector
al ticket—is the desire of a few disappointed
and vindictive men to give the vote of this State
to Lincoln, who have not the nerve to support
him directly."
J UIHSE HALE. —The Democrat is much
exercised at our proposition to put up the
name of Judge Hale as the People's candi
date for Congress without the formality of
a conferee meeting. He considers it
doubtful whether Mr. Hale could even se
cure a nomination, owing to the Judge's
affiliation with the abolitionists—(the
Judge is about as much of an abolitionist
as our neighbor is that adjunct of "coal
and iron"' referred to by Bucbunan in his
Washington speech)—and thinks it is
neither fair, expedient, nor democratic 1
As our proposition was based solely on the
ground that there would be no opposition
to his nomination, we still think it is the
most desirable way to put him on the
track, especially as the people will be very
apt to ratify- his nomination by an over
whelming vote, (ien Jackson was nomi
nated in this manner in 1824—5 as soon
as the result of the preceding election was
known, and we venture to say that all the i
arts of politicians could not have prevent
ed his subsequent election. So it is with
Judge Hale in this district —he is the
People's Man, and if the Democrat has a
political bore on hand whom it would like
to have well thrashed, let it trot him out.
the next two or three months va
rious State elections come off, whose re
sults will be significant, as indicating the
strength of parties and their bearing on
the Presidential election in November.—
On the 2d of August in North Carolina an
election for State officers will take place,
and in Arkansas, Texas and Missouri elec
tions will Le held on the (3th of the same
month for State officers and members of
Congress. In Vermont and Maine simi
lar elections will be held in September,
and in Florida, Mississippi, Indiana, lowa,
Ohio and Pennsylvania these contests will
take place in October. The first skirmish
will be fought in North Carolina.
BSaAVho is Foster for—Douglas or Breck
enridge ?

jfcirA letter from a former resident of this

Steamship Pennsylvania was burnt

jftafHn England, the keepers of packs of
hounds invariably mix pounded sulphur with
the water which their dogs drink during the

BtgfTlie Democrat don't like our associa
ting it with Douglas as the Papist candi
date. We are only returning the game play
ed in 185G against Fremont without anv
foundation whatever.
Venus became evening star on the 18th,

give a heavy democratic majority, last week
elected a republican to a city office by 900.
It is said that 2000 Germans there have cut
loose from the democracy and will go in a
body for Lincoln.
josy*Buchanan in his speech at Washington
has at last defined a " nigger" to be the same
as coal and iron. Doctors and philosophers
who have heretofore esteemed this a mooted
question, can now make a minute according
ly. Coal, iron and a nigger are synonymous.
The Jersey Shore Vedette hoists the name
of Judge Ilale for Congress, and strongly
commends Lis taking the stump at once.
Thus far the Lock Haven Watchmen is the
only paper in the district differing with us,
and that altogether on grounds we did not
assume.
l6s,The Democrat wants us to publish the
names of the members of Congress who voted
for or against the tariff bill. If its denial
of our figures is worth anything, let it pub
lish the names in detail, and classify them.
To any one desirous of seeing the vote in full,
we have only to say, call at the Gazette Office

"This is a valuable treatise on the preservation and
culture of health. It contains the substance
of a _ course of popular lectures, prepared l>v
i Dr. W. A. Aleott. It is measurably free from all hob
j bies and extravagancies. It teaches us how we may
i avoid the too constant use of medicitiesand nostrums
; and when il may be proper to consult and employ a
! physician. It contains very many valuable and prae-
I tical suggestions on the various sulyeets spoken of in
the title page, and may prove a very useful book mall
families, not so much to teach how to cure diseases,
as to prevent their occurrence. The laws and means
i of physical culture, adapted to practical use, are laid 1
down 111 a manner within the comprehension of all.
Technicalities have been avoided, and the rules and
observance of all the laws are .-imply exemplified. i
A work of this character is so essential to families,
particularly to young mothers, that few should bo
without it."
The great number of deaths among infants has al- ,
ready created an alarm in families, and reflections
have been made upon the failures of physicians in
their attempt to cure.
The philosophy of diet is one of the features of the j
book and the causes of consumption, a most important j
one. This is treated by the doctor in a most striking
and original manner, and his means of how to prevent
it. are laid down in plain and unmistakable language.
This portion of the volume so important to the
100.000 persons who are even now dying of consump
tion —for nearly that number die annually—will be
read with an interest which will eventu illy have a most
desirable effect."
