THE ELECTION! ■ TO DAT j
'Ve trust none of out-Democratic friends w ill'
neglect going to the polls ToDav. a„d depositing
his vote for the regularly nominated ticket, found
at the head of our columns. The candidates are alt
good men and true, deserving of public confidence
and well-qualified to discharge the duties'of the
places for which they are .respectively named.
Although our Federal opponents, conscious of their
own weakness, have not ventured to raise an oppo
sition ticket, yet the regular nominations may at
the eleventh hour be opposed by iudependent candi
dates, which is Federalism under another aid more
dangerous guise. The, tideet-s-the whole ticket—
and nothing but the ticket—should be the watch
word of every Democrat to-day.

Dcmocrata, who have most perilous
contests, swerved from the straight line of duty.
.Wc cun. with einire-trutlq.appiy-tu-lhix.la.tmeet-,
ing the remark we made respecting 1 the others:
that'it sprang from the free and spontaneous action
of daefeaple, and was the result of no other prompt
ing than that of their warm, abidiil", und'anlmslud
attachment to the great Statesman, whom-in early
life they learned to know so well, and never to
know unfavorably.„...
We point to these .spontaneous
'with pride and pleasure. Much as those may at
feet to despise them, who neither know nor care to
appreciate the moral grandeur of a free, people, sit-
ting in council on the actions of one of their own
distinguished citizens, they possess a value in our
sight, more to be prized than line silver or gold.
Unanswerable and triumphant is the proof which
they lurnish, that . Acre, .among his early'associates
and neighbors— here, where the foundation of that
greatness was first .laid, wliich has. since risen to u
superstructure, visible to. the whole Union here,
where that glowing Eloquence first resounded,
w hich has since coped in a ltigher sphere with the
master-spirits of the age, Cut, Wzbbter, and
CaLHOOT—that here, the tame of Jsxzs Bvchisis
has- sustained no detriment. But that the effort to
drag hiru, without a reason, from his well-earned
eminence, has proved as impotent, if not as absurd,
as is the presumptuous essay of the lisping infant
to tear a particular bright star from its place in
the firmament.
| South Weat Ward.
One of tire main-reasons of Mr: Buchanan's
strong hold upon the attachment of his earlier as
sociates and neighbors, aside from his eminent
public services, is to be sought in his unspotted and
irreproachable private character. And hereisa foun
dation of popularity, than which the Alleghenies
have not a corner-stone more secure.
Among the many distinguished men, who have,
at various times, served in the high stations bf the
republic, it is too seldom that we have discovered
those, who to brilliant talents and rare"'intellectual
acquirements have united that elevated purity of
morals, which alone constitutes a safe depository
of a trust so responsible and exalted as the Chief
Magistracy of the American Union. The infirmi
ties of frail humanity—the temptations which at
every atep encompass the pathway of the renown
ed the flattery ot friends and the intoxicating in* ■
fluence of patronage and power—all these but too
often lead irresistibly to the indulgence of those
baser passions, which cast their dark shadows over
the fair fame of the most gifted of our race. The
history of Mankind—alas ! abounds with melan
choly attestations, that not Genius, the most dazz
ling—not Learning, the most varied—not States
manship. dhe most- profound— not all the graces and
accomplishments of tlie head, are' a safe-guard
against tin- insidious approaches of the monster
1 ice to the heart. At the sight of such examples,
we may how in deep homage at the shrine of in
tellectual superiority, but we cannot repress our
poignant sorrowing ove, the absence of those ster
ner \ irtues, which so much moreu-ontribute to dig
nity and adorn human nature.
Perhaps no one, unnmg 'the distinguished and
honorable of mfr laud, unites to his high qualities
us a Statesman a more unsputted pcrmnal elmraeter
than Janus Htviuxix. Called into active politi
eal lift*, ut uti early age, anil progressing, step by
Step, 111 the highest liunors of the republic, he bus
passed through all llm alluremenls of power uud
slutiinu'jhrongh all the hlaiidislmiuiits of liwor anil
lorlutff, with u reputation pure mill unblemished,
liuuililitiou to these inestimable moral qualities, he
possesses habits of social friendship, which he has
sueeessfillly preserved, umiil ull the ehanging triuls
and vicissitudes ol liti*. Notwithstanding his ele
.ration,to high ilflleial stations, those crowning ex
eellcnqivs hate ever shone, forth conspicuously in
his character, and he now displays the same gene
rous and unostentatious qualities, which marked
his conduct when pursuing in early life his humbler
professional avocation?.
_ -'* r - Bociiaxax'B occasional visits to this city
tvhich, owing to his responsible and almost Her
culean public labors, are not so frequent, as they
would otherwise be—are always distinguished by
the familiar greetings of old, and true, and never
to-be-forgotten friends, who are 'scattered over every
j part of this large and populous county. Then it is
| that former intimacies are revived, and the remin
i iscencds of the past reviewed. Many can hear
| testimony to his oit-repeated manifestations of friend-
I ship, and all. whether friend or the, are compelled
I to render him the tribute of a perfect specimen of
| personal probity and honor. -
Such a man Envy may assail, and disappointed
Ambition seek to traduce, but how unavailing tire
attempt! By the serenity of his mind, and the con
sciousness of a well-spent life, he is lilted tar above
the reach of all envious and malignant foes. The
Future is concealed front our view. But thus much
is revealed to lis. Whether James Buchaxax, at
the close of the present presidential term, shall be
chosen as the successor of Mr. Polk, or whether he
shall retire to the tranquility of private file his
will ever be the fortune to rejoice in a body of as
ardent und devoted friends, as has ever fallen to the
lot of any public man. And nowhere will he find
truer,mr firmer, or faster friends, than among the
bone and sinew of the Lancaster County Democracy
■With feelings of honest and heartfelt satisfaction,
they point to his brilliant career in Congress'
and m the Cabinet, and to the spotless purity of his
character us a Man, a Citizen, a Neighbor, and a
Iriemj—and they proudly challenge a comparison
wuh imy or all of his opponents^
Slxtli Cougi’csNlodal District.
The Governor has issued his writ for holding a
special election in the Sixth Congressional District,
composed of Bucks and Lehigh counties, to fill the
vacancy occasioned by the death of Jons W. llon\-
beck, on Wednesday, : February 23.
The political complexion ‘ of this district is a*
mong the most varying and uncertain in the State.
11l lb-I-l Polk's majority was 0-17—in 1 tidbit gave
to Mr. Hornbeck (Fed.) 135 majority, and in ISIS,
it gave a majority for Shunk of 688.
rf the voters in dhe district can all be brought to
the polls, the return of a Democrat, in place of Mr.
Hoax beck, is certain. At no former period were
strongerindneements presented for united and vig.
orous exertion. The state of parties in the House
is so close, that upon the result m this district may
depend the ascendency of. the one party or the other.
We have every confidence that little Lehigh will
"do better” than ever, and that'old Bucks will dol
its full dtiry—and thc-young Lucies, too.

**"*W**3W c °n v fc>tioh carefully &vbided : any
expresajoii of preference in regard toihe
for Presidency or Vice Presidency, to be nominated
at Baltimore,'bnt that the impression is, that in a
vote, tile favorites would lave been Boc fuzxx and
QriTaiA2r.
From the happy results of this important first
lesson, we have ever opposed, and trust we shall
ever continue to oppose, any increase of banking
privileges, by whomsoever sought, or onywliatsoever
pretext. If the altars of Pluti-s are to be attended
by more numerous and more devout worshipers
than those of the Most Hion—it shall not bo by
our humble agency, at least. Nor does it afford any
consolation to be toid: “If you don’t like the banks,
don’t deal with them!” We have a parallel for
this in the seech of the member of British parlia
ment, who, in descanting upon the blessings of
England, exclaimed: “If any man don't like Eng
land, let him leave it.” Jf it were possible for Brit
-oUB,in a body to give up the ties of country and
kindred, and if they had the means and the liberty
of emigrating, this generous license would soon be
withdrawn. So with our banks. So closely are
they interwoven with all onr business ramifications,
that it would be oa difficult almost to abandon
country and family, as to dissolve all connection
with them. What we cannot eradicate, if is, there
ibre, our duty to curb and to reform. They: grew
up out of the indulgence of the (leople—and dhc
people should hence exercise'the necessary vigi
lance that this indulgence is not used to the gencri)
injury.
With pleasure -we notice in the Nacogdoches
Tima the proceedings of a democratic meeting
held in San Augustine on the' 18th December, to
take the necessary- step to have a' timely'State
Convention for the 'purpose of appointing delegates
to-the National Convention. Every county in the
State will probably follow this ■ movement, and
send delegates, to the Convention proposed to be
held in Austin: on the- fourth Monday in January.
Jntulditioii to agpoiatiiig delegates- to Baltimore, an
electoral ticket.will, be nominated.
* guaranty, that no ncjv charters will be granted*
nor re-charten either, unless the Banks asking for
went, can shew, they have hitherto sustained a good
to a good currency, as well as the wish for making
money. >- ■'. .7. v ;
.We observe too, that notices in several instances
have been given of intended applications for new
charters of both Banks and Sayings .Institutions,
without any name, being appended 1 * thereto, as if
those interested in'establishing them were-for kome
reason or other anxious to keep their names out of
.view, ox.pferiiapft.4nn modest *.«> appear4n-» pnbW-
Such notices are clearly defective under the act of
Assembly, and if we were a member we should so
consider them, and at once reject the applications
without further enquiry. The constitution and
laws both require a notice to be given,—and as
there can be no notice without a name, the neglect
to publish, and intentionally withholding the names,
vitiates the notice, and whoever inserted it can pav
Uie printer tor publishing it, but cannot expect the
Legislature or the Governor to [sanction', such a
dodging of a plain duty. The names must appear,
that the people of the place in which tlie Bank is to
be located, may know whether the applicant is or
is.not a citizen of the commonwealth, and is oris
not a proper person to be entrusted with a charter.
If charters arc to be granted bn notices without
names, hereafter names will be appended in no
case, and the act ot Assembly requiring a notice
will be a nullity.
Under a notice without a name, any man may
have the right to ask tor a charter as well as he who
published it, and we think ourselves just as much
entitled to ask for charters under all these defective
notices, as they who gave them. We believe it was
the meaning of the framers of the constitution, and
tho legislature passing the law, which directed the
manner in which notices should be given, that a
strict compliance with the spirit and meaning of the
law should be required j that full notice should be
given to the community of the originators of the
Bank as well as of the Bank itself, and uot that a
charter is to be granted as a matter of conrsc, like
the privilege of making a turnpike, or a less impor
tant matter. But having full faith in the wisdom of
our Governor and Legislature, wc do not apprehend
that either Banks or Savings Institutions will find
much favor this session, and those who are so anx
ious lor an increase of paper money, must bide
their time until they find an administration favorable
to their views—if ever such an administration will
hereafter be created by the good people of Penn
sylvania.
We cordially endorse every sentiment and opin
ion, advanced in the foregoing extract by that able
and intrepid exponent of Democratic principles,
the Pennsylvanian. The multiplication of Banking
Institutions would inevitably raise up an Aristocracy
in our midst, portending a fearful prostration of the
public rights aud private independence of the peo
ple.'', designed for great and noble pur
poses—Ho assist the operations of industry and en
courage laudable enterprise—too many of the Banks
have become'the mere centre-points, at which the
artful Few collect profits from the necessities of
the unsuspecting Many. Whilst we readily concede,
that some of theie Institutions are conducted on
safe and prudent and by men of the
purest and loftiest integrity. iKmust It admitted
that the remark is not applicable to .all Many and
severe are the sufferings and losses."Ayhich badly
managed Banks have inflicted on the community,
by flooding the land with their paper promise,?, and
theu with the utmost jiO/ir/<«/a>ur shuffling offlheir
.wholesale engagements. \
There i« not. in our opinion, a solitary evil in
our land, so tntul to the freedom and prosperity of
the people, ns the multiplication of banking estab
lishments. liung will Pennsylvania mourn her
disrespect of the the warning voice and veto of her
excellent Governor SNYDKU—■whose name a,
print in capital*, in token of our reverence of |,is
memory, and of our gratitude for hi* refusal to
sign the hill for littu-i.m Hunks in tins siule. In
Governor SMI’NIv wc luckily have u Chief Mugis
trute, who ha* the willingness and the firmness to
follow closely in hi* ibotsteps, But—to keep the
Hanks under proper restmiut—it is necessary, also,
to encourage a sound anti enlightened Prime
ion, which is ever stronger than llm law ilsell—
uud to this end we pledge our hourly co-operation,
however humble.
When, more than a dozen years ago. in the com.
meiiccment of our political career, we participated
in the politics of another county, the Nartkamptuu
Hank applied to the Legislature of this Stale for im
increase of capital We took a bold stund in uppos.
ition, and as the Editor of a Democratic journal
privately and publicly remonstrated against it.
Our course was condemned by, probably, nineteen,
twentieths of our own party-friends, many of whom
were directly interested in the success of tile appli
cation for increasing the local paper-currency. We
were threatened with the loss of many kind ‘ pat
rons," if we persisted in our opposition, and not a
few of the high-priests that officiated in the money
temple menaced the destruction of onr business!
Alter a violent struggle, the application was defeat
ed by a few votes in the House of Representatives,
which was then largely Democratic, uud the swarm
of Bank Borers, who had been sent to Harrisburg
to “lag-roW the bill through The Legislature, re
turned-disappointed.
Subsequent events have so fully demonstrated
the propriety of our course, on that occasion, that
we refer to it with pride and pleasure. The North
ampton Bank, long before the expiration of its char
ter, proved to be the veriest sink of corruption and
dishonesty, and, like the Marble Monster in Chest
nut street, has gone the way of all flesh." leaving
only suffering and wretchedness behind. Stock
holders, depositors, and bill-holders vverc alike en
gnlphed in a common vortex of insolvency, and
we could this day buy as many of its notes as
would till a well-sized bread-basket, lor a halfieagle,
constitutional currency! The Cashier of the In
stitution, after having been for a period incarcera
ted in the county-jail, has been driven into exile,
whilst one ol the Democratic representatives from
the county', who had the nerve to oppose the ap
plication, has been honor'd with a seat in Congress!
Such are the idtimatc triumphs ol Right over
Wrong!

..: Resolved? -i ' hi t- administration of- James K.
Polk lias been Characterised by great wisdom, pru
dence, and firmness, and : by an enlightened regard
for the perpetuity 6f our glorious Union, and that
we have discovered no reason to regret that the
choice of the American people in 1844 devolved
upon one, who'iji 6uch an. eminent degree unites
the demanded by the illustrious Jef
ferson: Honest#,!Capacity, and Fidelity to the
Constitution. i \ .
Resolved, Thatjwe approve of the continued and
vigorous prosecution of the Mexicau war, and are
opposed to any policy, which does not secure to
our people and government, full indemnity for the
past, and full security .lor the future. *
Resolved, That we approve of the administration
of Francis R. Shunk, and rejoice with exceeding
gladness that the State has secured, for another
term of three years, a Chief Magistrate, so faithful
in his adherence to the sound and truc principles of
Democracy. ' '
Resolved, That we are in favor of the holding of
a National Convention, for the nomination of can
didates for President and Vice President of the U.
States, regard such an umpire as the only pro
per and safe mode of bo uniting the Democracy of
the nation as to insure harmony and success. We
regard adherence to the regular usages and consti
tuted authorities of the Democratic party as vitally
essential to the ascendency of its principles an±
candidates.
Resolved , That among all the. distinguished citi-'
zens named in connection with the high office of
President of the United States, we yield our un
qualified preference to our own illustrious fellow
citizen, JAMES BUCHANAN, whom we have,
known, throughout the almost entire period of his
life, and thus knowing, reverence And admire.—
W hether we regard him in his private and social in
tercourse, or in his public rclatinns«wc have ever
found him honest, high-minded, and patriotic. In
his earlier life he won his way to our esteem by his
purity and singleness .of character,-and since his
participation in the affairs of the nation, in the.
Congress and inthe Senate of the United States, in
a diplomatic mission abroad, and in the still morti
responsible post of Secretary of .State,-he has diJ
.played such vast and gigantic poweru as a States
man, and such patriotic devotion to the institutions
of bur common country, that wo can safely point to
him, as one qualified, by every accomplishment of
the houd-.aiid heart, to preside over the destinies of
our great and growing republic.

The Presidential Question.— As the time ap
proaches, lor the meeting of the State Convention,
the battle waxes warmer between the different cau
d.datcs lor the Presidency. In Pennsylvania, a
brisk local contest has been carried on between the
friends of Mr. Buchanan and Mr. Dallas, which at
first looked rather warlike, but bv prudent coun
sels no doubt, has been conducted! generally with
good feeling, and in a proper spirit. The casting
vote of Mr. Dallas on the tariff question, is popular
in Berks, and that gentleman has the confidence
and esteem of the Democracy generally, but on the
Presidential question, there seems to be almost a
unanimous desire to give her vote for Mr. Buchanan.
Our democracy seem to have inade up their minds
on this question, four years ago; and from particu
lar inquiries on this subject, wo are satisfied, they
have not changed in the least. The voice of Old
Berks is. unquestionably in favor of Mr. Buchanan’s
nomination for the Presidency. The delegates to
the 4th of March Convention, were elected in Sep
tember last, and uninstructed ; but we learn that they
are all in favor of Mr. Buchanan, and that they be
lieve, that in voting for him, they can best represent
their constituency.

Bellefonte, Jan. 25,1818.
Our county delegation have appointed Dr. Ira
D. Canfield delegate to the Ith of March Conven

ol Hon. James Buchanan for President. Spirited
resolutions were passed- At the same time a war
meeting was held in the Court House. Col. Burn

the meeting, as did B, Rush Petriken, Esq. There
was a small flare up on the IVilmot Proviso, which

Newspaper Law.
In case of a Buit for fraud, the Goorgia courts
v Ve “ ecided ‘bat refusing to take a newspaper from
the'oflice, of going away and leavingit uncalled for
until ail arrearage! are paid, is priroa facie evidence
of intentional fraud.
This is both sound law and equity. No practice
can possibly betray a greater evidence of fraudulent
intention, than that so much in vogue among news
paper patrons, of receiving a paper for many years,
then suddenly moving off to parts unknown, with
out liquidating arrearages, tjrj even notifying the
editor of the removal. We are glad to see tiiat the
judicial tribunals of the counfry place a proper es
timate upon such conduct. ’

SAM. HOUSTON. Chairman.
Richard BnomiiiAD. Secretary.
From the foregoing proceedings our readers will
perceive, thutthe Democratic members of Congress
have met-in the Senate Chamber, at Washington,
and have recommended that the. Democratic Na
tional Convention be held in the city of Baltimore,
on the 4th Monday of May next. We rejoice at
this action of the republican representatives. . Their
sovereign constituencies had predetermined tint
such a; convention should be held, and they h.nc
wisely!settled the- minor dilli-rences as to the time
and place of meeting.
And now that an umpire for the reconciliation u!
our remaining differences has been provided, it is lo
be hoped that every democrat will form an unalterable
determination to yield a cheerful acquiescence to its
decision, whatever it may be. Perhaps at no former
period of our history, did there exist a stronger
necessity for a geueral rally around our ancient and
well-approved usages,, for we have arrayed against
us an enemy, powerful in numbers, strong in re
sources, and panting lor the public flesh-pots.
1 If we desire to perpetuate the ascendency of
Democratic principles in the administration of the
General Government, it is not enough to enact the
empty ceremonies of a' nominating convention, bur
it is necessary that we. bring outf hands and our
hearts to the altar of concession and compromise.
Before tjhe convention has met, it is the right of
each to indulge his individual preferences, abstain
ing from crimination of those who think differently
when the body has met and spoken, he is a
spurious professor, who does not yield implicit
obedience to its decisions.
Injurious Legislation.
We understand that an effort is now making at
Harrisburg by the Baltimore aud Susquehanna Rail
Road Company, that is calculated to seriously affect
the interests of the State in an important manner,
atuPwhich, it is said, is likely to gain favor, unless
promptly opposed.
The Company desires authority to construct a
Rail Road from Wrightsville (the terminus of the
| Baltimore.and Susquehanna Hail Ilond) up th«
western side of tHo Su<quwhuimu river, to a point
oppuslU; to Marietta, and there cross the river with
a Hail Rond Bridge—then construct h Hail Hoad lu
a point on the Unrnubury.. Middletown, Mountjny
and Lancaster Hull Hoad, somewhere hetweeu
Mountjny and the tunnel fur the purpose of tapping
the Pennsylvania Hail llnud. and currying to Haiti
more all the travel uni! trade of the West, which
was intended fur Philadelphia. If the improvement
hu authorized and completed, the efleot cunuot be
olherwhelium tliut the toll* on the Hail Hoad from
Columbia to Philadelphia will be greatly dimin
ished, and that the expenditure of money for the
construction of the Pennsylvania Hail Hoad w ill
be for the sole benefit of Baltimore.

Rejection of dilutee mill.
The Federal Senate of Pennsvlvhnia have again
rejected Judge Nile. of the Chester apd Delaware
district. Our correspondent " i?f/ori», 'pin his able
article on the Judiciary, suggests the mneityfor till
such factious proceedings—the election of' Judges
by the People. We trust, the time is not far dis
tant. when the Constitution of Pennsylvania wiu\
be so changed.
Judge McLean on Uie War.
Another candidate for Presidential honors is over
board! Judge M'Leax of the Supreme bench has
written a letter to some one in Ohio, on the Mexi
can War, which we copy from the Cinmmatti En
quircr.
Washington, Jan. 7,184 S.
My Dear Sir— -lo all human appearance the ter*
mination of this miserable war with Mexico i*
more remote than when the first blow was struck
In my judgment, it was unnecessarily and uncon
stitutionally commenced, by nurrehibg our armr in
to disputed territory in the possession of Mexico.
And, I think, that Congress, who unquestionably
have the power, should put an end to the war oil
just and honorable principles.'
• After agrccing'flpon the terms on which a treaty
should be made, they should call upon the Execu
tive by resolution to offer a peace to Mexico upon
that basts; and during the negotiation hostilities
Bhould be suspended. If the President shall refuse
to do this, m the military appropriation bills, the
army should be required to take such positions as
shall carry out the view's of Congress. These bills
the President could not veto, and ho w-ould be
bound by their requirements. This may be done
by the House.
I hope that Congress will refuse to issue any
more treasury notes. The notes demanded, in ad
dition to those already in circulation, would flood
the country with that description of paper. Such
an emission would constitute a government bank
controlled and managed by a party administration’
We have noiv fifteen millions of treasury notes in
circulation, and authority to issue five millions
more. I w-ould not increase this circulation a dol
lar; but reduce it as rapidly as possible: > Such a
system would be incomparably more dangerous to
the public morals and the public liberty, than anv
other systsm of banking that could be devised.
To meet any deficiency of the revenue to pay
the current expenses of the war, I would authorise
loans at par, paying not more than six per cent
interest, and if loans cannot be made at this rate
let the administration resort to a system oftaxation!
which shall caiise the people to feel the expense of
the war. All wars should he accompanied by a
syßtem of direct and internal taxation. Nothing
short of this can show, in addition to the sacrifice
of life what we pay for military glory. This war
the policy in the better days of the republic.
, The late war with England was nobly sustained
oy the people, not only in the field but bv the pay
ment of taxes. And they will sustain "every just
war in which our country shall be involved. But I
risk, nothing in saying that an attempt to adoot such/
a system of taxation would . wind up this Mexican'
war in sixty days. And this shows that the v w/r
should be put an end to. This may ho done bv
Congress in ninety days, ahd I pray God that thev
may do it. „. . .Truly youre/ 7'

and by contrast makes the deficiency of the others,
the greater. In fine, where, since the days of
Ti Limn an, do we see the Judge selected, uutGUi-iU'i.
or without low intrigue and grovelling importunity ?
It has grown into a habit, that the Governor must
be importuned, or he will not appoint, lest lie there
by lose the golden opportunity of securing a parti
san friend on the bench—a place' of supposed in

Is it any wonder, then, that’we see the Senate
plied by every motive that can influence them to
reject such nominations? Or, can it astonish, that
the Senate, feeling power, may also forget right i
That they may, and even do, usurp the übminating
prerogative—playing upon Executive fear by sug
