Real Estate; —We call attention to the adver tisements in our columns for the sale of Real Es tate. Some of the best property in the county is in the market, and those far or near who may wish to invest money in the safest of all banks—a bank of earth —or purchase a good home, would do well to call this way. HZt* A large and enthusiastic Democratic meet ing was held last Saturday at Elizabethtown, at which eloquent addresses were delivered by C'ol. Reah Frazer and Jonas D. Bachman, F.sq.. of this city. Proceedings in our next. Hon. James Buchanan. Our distinguished townsman, the Secretary of State under the National administration, arrived in this city on Saturday afternoon. Although his presence has not been generally known, he has been visited by a large number of his old neighbors and friends, who are always happy to extend to him a cordial and heartfelt welcome. Mr. Bu chanan's stay, we regret to say, will be necessarily short, as he intends to visit his native county. Franklin, before he reiums to Washington. A Magnificent Pole. = A truly splendid Hickory, measuring over 150 feet, and straight as an arrow, was erected by the Democrats of this city, at the railroad depot, last Monday afternoon. The Union and Tribune t and even our staid friend of the ' Examiner , we see, are disposed to be merry over an unsuccessful attempt to erect it on Satur day. It is evident, however, that they have not been let into the secret. The pole did go up to a perpendicular position, but not proving of the de sired altitude, it was* deemed prudent to lower it, that it might grow oyer Sunday. The descent was very rapid and very unceremonious, to be sure, but it rested patiently on the roof of a Democratic hotel-some said it was a lean upon the property and by Monday noon it had grown about 40 fee 1 longer ! Then it went up easily, and slaid up, and is now truly the pride and ornament of that part of the city. high above every surround ing object, it is'a proper emblem of the elevation ot our glorious party. Franklin College. The friends of education will be gratified to learn, that the Trustees of this Institution have been liberal in their expenditures to increase its usefulness. After various other improvements, they have lately fitted up the room of the Junior Department in the most approved modern style.— Each pupil is now provided with a patent revolv ing pivot-chair, manufactured by J. L. Mott, (N- Y.) These chairs are considered more convenient than any kind of seat that has hitherto been used in schools. They are constructed on the same plan as the beautiful article manufactured at the Mottville Iron Works, for public schools, &c. Each pupil is also provided with a separate desk, of ele gant form and workmanship, which stands on cast iron scroll stanchions, firmly attached to a plat [oyn. It is believed there is no school-room in this section of the country which surpasses this in comfortable accommodations for the industrious student. The Trustees certainly deserve commendation for their effort to improve the means of education; and it is to.be hoped, that the community will ap preciate the value of! the privileges which are now afforded to the young of this city.’ Here all that aie properly qualified to enter the Junior Depart ment are admitted free, and while dwelling under the parental roof, enjoying the protection and ad vice of kind relatives, and the pleasures of domestic life, may not only fix themselves for college, but advance two years in their collegiate studies, so as to enter the junior class of any other college in the Union. meeting at Penningtonville. We attended an immense Democratic meeting on Saturday last,' at Penningtonville, in Chester county. The finest spirit prevailed, and many spoke confidently of carrying the county for Cass and Butler. Addresses were delivered by Richard Vaux, E. W. Hutter, Washington Baker, Joseph Hemphill, (the Democratic candidate for Congress.) and P. Frazer Smith, of West Chester. •The speech of our talented‘townsman, Mr. Baker, gave great satisfaction. He dissected the position of Gen. Taylor with a master-hand, and gave proof that he will at no distant day rank with our most effective public speakers: Maine Flection. The Democrats of Maine have achieved a noble victory. They have carried both branches of the Legislature, five of the seven members of Congress, and have given to Dasa (Dem.) for Governor 11,000 majority over Hamlin (Wing.) The Free Soil vote, howbver, has prevented an election by the people. Ab a plurality chooses-the Presidential electors, the' vote of Maine is entirely secure for Cass and Butler. Gen. Cass and the Moravians. In the course of his eventful and highly useful public career, Gen. Lewis Cass has rendered not only signal services to his country, but has confer red innumerable benefits on individuals and com munities. Among the latter, he has endeared him self to the highly respectable society of Moravians, in away that they will ever gratefully remember. * By two acts of the old Congress, passed 1785 and 1788, three several tracts of land upon the Muskingum river, in the now of Ohio, con taining 12,000 acres, were granted Moravian Society of United Brethren, in trust for certain Christian Indians. Every one knows with what zeal that Society directed itself to the- civilization and instruction *of our aboriginal people. They numbered among their missionaries men of the’ same faith and fervor as sent the Apostles forth in the first ages of the Christian church to propagate the Gospel. The tracts of land, above described, were admin istered during many years by the society at a great expense for the civilization of the Delaware In* dians. But in process of time the White settlements surrounded the Indians, and they generally retired to the more distant frontier. As the trust could no longer be executed, and as the Society had encoun tered much expense, anti many equitable rights had been acquired, it became necessary to make some arrangements respecting the property, and in 1823 Gen. Lewis Cass was appointed, under the provis , ions of an act of Congress, to close the matter with the agents of -the Society, and to make provision for the disposition of the property. The whole matter, on the part of the United States, was com mitted to his discretion, and as he knew the zeal, and labors, and sacrifices, of the Society, and was well acquainted with tHe venerable Mr. Zeisrergeii and the worthy Mr. Heckenwelder, two of their zealous missionaries who lived not far from him> •he entered upon the task with every disposition to deal with the Society in the spirit of liberality, which they so richly deserved, and for which he has always been distinguished. In the fall of 1823-Gen. Cass met the Rev. Mr. De Schweinitz, the Treasurer of the Society and a man of acknowledged worth and intelligence, at the house of Mr. Heckenwklder in Gnadenhuetten , where a satisfactory arrangement was made for the cession of the Moravian rights, and for the ful filment of all the just and equitable stipulations on the part of the United States. Through theinfluence, sagacity, and kind and persevering efforts of Lewis Cass alone, did obtain a satisfactory ad justment. as embodied in an act of Congress, passed May 20, 1 824, entitled : “ An act providing for the distribution of three several tracts of land in Tus carawas county, state of Ohio, and for other pur poses.” Having spent a goodly portion of our own life among the Hcrrnhuters , we know that these remin iscences belong to their most ,familiar annals, and their recithl invariably awakens emotions ol grat itude and delight. * They speak of Lewis Cash in terms of the highest praise, and. although generally of opposite politics, many of them would esteem it a sin against Conscience not to vote for the benefac tor and friend of the devout, and self-sacrificing Moravian Missionaries. Leaving tlie Parly In the reported proceedings of the “Free Soil” Convention held at Reading, we discover the fol lowing-. ’ Dr. Elder of Philadelphia was called upon to address the Convention, when he responded in an eloquent speech, which called forth most tremen dous cheering for free soil, free speech, and free men. He appealed to the Democracy of Berks to sustain the movement, and charged the Democratic party irilh having changed its principles, but not Mr. Van Burcn. It is the fashion of all renegades, when they turn their backs upon those that have long nurtured them, to contend that the party has left them, and not they the party! Mr. Van Buren it seems, is no better in this respect than ordinary apostates. He too, we are told by the elders ol his church, is the only saint left, whilst the remainder of the con gregation have all turned sinners! As well might you take one brick from the Chinese wall, and con tend that the wall had deserted the brick, and not the brick the wall! As well one drop of water from Lake Ontario, and charge the Lake, instead of the drop, with going off! We remember hearing, or perhaps reading, an anecdote respecting the facetious Major Noah, which may not be out of place. The Major was an ardent and zealous Jacksonian, and as the able conductor of a leading Democratic journal in New York had rendeied very distinguished services. Old Hickory rewarded him with a lucrative office. The Major was popular with the Democrats, and whenever a meeting was held at Tammany Hall, the “boys" adjourned to his residence, greeted him with loud cheers and congratulations, and were in turn most hospitably refreshed. In an evil moment, however, the Major turned against Jackson, and came out on the side of the U. S. Bank. The men of Tammany came again, but not, as before, with cheers and shouts of rejoic ing. Hisses, groans and ealathumpian yells now an nounced their presence. The Major lay snugly es consed in bed, pretending to be asleep. His faithful black servant aroused him, with the message: “ Massa, de Demerlcratsat de dfior.'’ “ Never mind those fellows, Sambo," replied the wide-awake Major, "they have left the party!" “ Free Soil” State Convention. This body of frail politicians met at Reading, on the 13th instant, and organised by the appointment of Benjamin W. Richards of Philadelphia, as Presi dent. Electoral ticket, pledged to Van Buren ' and Adams, was formed, on which we find the | name of Henry Carter of Little Britain town- j ship, heretofore an active Whig. A resolution to 1 nominate candidates for Governor and Canal Com-1 missioner was rejected, and a State Central Com- 1 mittee appointed, of which Dr. Joseph Gibbons and P. Martin Heitler of this county are., members. Besides John Van Buren, the Speakers were Doctor Gazzam, Doctor Elder' and Doctor Snodgrass— enough of the Faculty, we should say, to physic a much more powerful party to death. This con vention was doubtless convened at Reading, to in fluence the vote of old Berks, and divide her mighty Democracy. Vain and impotent conclusion!— They might as well attempt to seize the county itself by the four corners, lift it from -the bed of mother earth in which the God of Nature has planted it. and threw it a chaotic mass into the lap of Federal Lancaster, as to turn her sturdy Democracy from the faith of their fathers. “ Head liiin, or die." John M. Botts of Virginia has written a letter to the editor of the New York Tribune, encourag ing the movement in favor of Mr. Clay. Mr. Botts says: As matters now stand; admitting Gen. Taylor to be a Whig candidate, (which I the party is doomed to certain, inevitable, and dis graceful defeat, and every man not wilfully blind must see it. It was an inexcusable blunder to sup pose that from a million and a quarter to a million and a half of free, independent Whig voters could be wheeled into line at the word of command from some fifty or sixty Washington politicians (most of whom had scarcely shed their, pin-feathers in politics)'for a candidate who had never filled a civil station, and who had not for forty years, and perhaps in his life, given a vote lor man or meas ure; without experience or knowledge of the prac tical operations *f any one of the domestic questions about which we had differed. A prank Confession.— i-The editor of the New York Day Book, Dr. Bacon, who formerly was as sociate editor of the N. Y. Courier and Enquirer, and is still an ardent, uncompromising whig, utters the following truth: “In fact, the head of the whig -party is chopped off; and its heart is broken. It is as dead as Julius Coesar, and its resurrection will be slow.-1 Taylor and Slavery. But for the gravity and coolness of the imposture, it would certainly afford ground-of amusement, to. expose the gross inconsistencies of the Federal press in Pennsylvania, and at the . North generally, when treating of the position of Gen. Taylor on the sub ject of Slavery. Their journals are literally filled with maledictions of the patriotic Cass, who is not now the owner of a slave, never was, and most likely never will be, whilst they overflow with the praises of Gen. Taylor, who is an habitual trader and dealer in human flesh and blood! We leave it to themselves to reconcile the glaring in consistency of such conduct. They must certainly calculate largely on the public gullibility if they presume to blind people's eyes and hearts to such a palpable contradiction. Intelligent and reflecting men will ask themselves the questions: How can it be that Gen. Cass is the Slavery candidate for the Presidency; whose hands are unstained by the traffic?—and Gen. Taylor the Anti-slavery candi date, whose drawers are filled with title-deeds con firming his right to the use and possession of hun dreds of human souls? The case need only be stated, to convict the Federal papers and politicians ol a most barefaced and stupendous system of de ception. We do not charge Gen. Taylor with buying and selling slaves, at random, or without the necessary documentary proof to sustain the assertion. A cor respondent of the Boston Post, writing from New Orleans, unequivocally asserts, that Gen. Taylor did in the month of May last, in Esplanade street, between Moore and Victory streets, purchase of a negro-trader, in the name of his son Richard', four or fvc negroes : Also, that on the Gth day of June last, whilst the delegates were on their way to the “National Slaughter House” at Philadelphia, after his return from Mexico, the same Zachary Tay lor was spending his time at the negro-auctions in New Orleans, examining the limbs'and testing the soundness of his purchases—and that he then and there purchased of B. M. Campbell, a flesh-trader, two slaves, for the sum of $1,500, and gave his draft for that amount on the Canal Bank of New Orleans! He assisted by his own hands to disrobe them, and felt their joints and limbs, to prove that they were of Herculean frame! Furthermore, that the house of Beaud, Calhoun be Co. in New Or leans, have recently received from Gen. Taylor an order for a slave, who is a black-smith! Although purchased in the name of his son, he pays the money and superintends the purchase. The Ohio Standard , however, here comes to the rescue, and introduces to the reader a certificate of the Tax Assessor in Jefferson county (Mississippi,) which proves that Gen. Taylor is assessed in that county for the ownership of 114 slaves, on which he pays an annual tax of #lO9 4-1. This is but a tithe of his proprietorship of human flesh and blood and bones. His principal slave-farms are situated in Louisiana. Here is the document: ' Taxable Property of ZACHARIAH TAYLOR, for the year IS4S, being in Jefferson county, Mis sissippi, as estimated by the Tax Assessor of said 'county: Number of SLAVES, 114 Tax $lO9 44 “ acres of Taxable Land 2100 48 SO T certify the forgoing estimate of the State, county and school Tax, on the above-mentioned property in Jefferson county, State of Mississippi, for the year 1818. to be trufc and correct.

To employ a favorite whig phrase, he is an “old coon" in the business, and understands it from loftg practice and experience thoroughly. Having duly inspected the limbs, and critically scrutinized their muscular and sinewy proportions, 1 he could doubtless tell the value of Big Ann and jj Little Ann, and of Henrietta with her “two small j children,as precisely as he could of the Horset, Hogs , and Mules, included in the same categoiy. It is difficult to conceive, however, in what mar.nei this proficiency in estimating the value of human flesh has particularly qualified the General for the discharge of the high duties of the Presidency—or how this is to be as proof of his hostility to the extention of Slavery and the adoption of the Wilmot Proviso. We do not indeed, that there are so many thousands honest Whigs in the land, sincerely attached to the Free Soil movement, who declare their utter unwillingness to vote for Gen. Taylor. No greater inconsistency or absur dity could be well conceived. ADDRESS OF THE DEMOCRATIC STATE ' . ' . CENTB|AL Democrats of Pennsylvania .—lf we have not addressed ydu as frequently during the present po litical cariyass,.as was accordant with custom, or with , the public expectation, the omission has arisen from no want of inclination to discharge with efficiency and fidelity the appointment con ferred upon us byithe 4th of March Convention. Our silence has rather resulted from the convic tion that you well; understand the nature of the contest in which the parlies are engaged, properly appreciate the immensity of the interest at. stake, and are fully alive to the high duties devolving upon you as Amercan citizens. We have never for. a moment doubted, that you, one and all, es teem the 'Right of Suffrage as among the most invaluable of all your political privileges, distin guishing your institutions above those of any other people on the face of the earth—nor have wo at all questioned, that at the decisive moment you would again be found at your posts, ready to | prostrate by your ballots, as you have so often done before, the enemies of those principles which are identical with the peace, safety, and welfare of the American people. So repeatedly have you demonstrated your acquiescence in the truism u Eternal Vigilance is the price of Liberty that we have deemed it presumptuous to importune you to the exercise of a duty, which, like Hespe rian fruit, you have ever guarded with the utmost jealousy and watchfulness. Our labors have also been in no inconsiderable j degree lessened by the fact that our Federal oppo | nents, by the abandonment of all their cherished doctrines, followed in many places by the surren -1 der of even their name , have emblazoned no prin ■ ciples on their consequently furnish i but comparatively few of those opposite elements | that have characterized most of the past conflicts | for the Presidency. By the selection of ai candi date for this high trust, who has peitinaeaously re ! fused to commit himself to the views of the party | that has thus gratuitously favored him—except in so far as a cold acceptance of its barren - honors is j susceptible of a contrary interpretation—they have j voluntarily relinquished all manner of title to the support of that portion of their own friends, who claim to be governed by views of a distinctive pol icy—and have thereby debased their action in the | existing canvass to a mere struggle for the gratifi i cation of personal attachment. By the rejection ! of the hard-earned and well-established claims of ] the most illustrious and faithful among their Whig ' champions, and by the substitution, in the front of 1 the fight, of one who throughout his whole life has never once condescended to exercise the right of , suffrage, and who, according to his own confes i sions, owing to a want of time and to a disincli* I nation for investigation, has formed no political opinions whatsoever —they have literally for the present abandoned their identity as a party!— First branding with every epithet of detraction the just and unavoidable war in which our country I was engaged withj Mexico, they were next guilty ! of the unpardonable inconsistency of nominating ! one of the successful soldiers of that war as their j candidate—and this, dispite all his own protesta ; tions of unfitness, and in the face of his reiterated | refusal to adopt their principles as a party ! The : Whig vessel is, therefore, embarked on a. perilous and tempestuous voyage, without compass or rud der, and it is not hazardous to predict, that it is destined to a speedy and total shipwreck. At the shrine of supposed availability they have sacri ficed all the pride of doctrine and opinon for which they formerly contended, and in the lowest deep of humiliation must our ancient foe bewail the madness and folly of their infatuated leaders. Whilst such is tjie pitiful condition of our opo : nents, we doubt whether the annals of the past record a period when the Democratic party of this country occupied more impregnable ground, or had better reason for hearty self-fahcitation, than ; the present Unawed by the presentation of a > name, associated with deeds of martial renown so recent that the land was still jocund with their ! recital, the Democratic party has marched steadily forward in the pathway of duty, resolved to suffer ! no ignis fataus to divert it to the right or to the i left, to blind its vision, bewilder its judgment, or ( misdirect its footsteps. In good report and in evil ! report, in sunshine and in storm, it has adhered unflinchingly to its Principles—has suffered not one of its consecrated banners to be lowered—not one of its hallowed watch-words to be erased—but has rather elevated them to the highest mountain peaks, so that the whole world may run and read. Inscribed upon our time-honored flag, as prized in our heart’s just estimation above all price, are these inspiring watch-words: EQUAL RIGHTS to all, \ and SPECIAL PRIVILEGES to none : No i corporate Monopolies, or legislative interfe rence with the business pursuits of citizens: No United States Bank, Me chief engine of an arrogant domestic despotism: A Tariff for Revenue; to supply the wants of the government economically administered: Non Interference ‘ in the domestic concerns of the States , and a strict construction of the Federal Constitution .- No diversion of the proceeds of the Public Land ; Salts, for purposes of individual speculation , or j as a bribe to the States: - Peace, Commerce and Honest Friendship with all nations , entang i ling alliances with none : Freedom of Religion: I Freedom of the Press: Free Suffrage and US"" extension of Civil and Religious Liberty lof M ,e who h O3 fed 1° our hospitable shores folfto escape the oppression of his ncters at home : ,JieThe Sub-Treasuri, by which the people make I vizrt/2 independent use of their own money, without • the agency of Banks: Curtailment of the Paper °\ Money system, and the infusion into trade of a amount of gold and silver, the currency of a % l the Constitution: The Preservation of the Veto Power, exercised by WASHINGTON, in ’jEFFERSON, MADISON and JACKSON! These principles form the bright constellation Jwhich has guided the Democratic party of this an-country through many a conflict of fear and peril thi —which have made our nation honored, respected, nuand powerful; and upon the maintenance of which otiwe verily believe, depend the future gloi'y and great- if not the existence, of this proud Republic. w< They constitute the creed of our political faith— “text of civic instruction’’—the touchstone, by to try the services of those we trust. Whilst _ j’vve adhere to them, we need never despair of the ofßepublic, for we are on the road that leads to •Peace, Liberty and Safety. an To these principles our candidates for the Presi dency and Vice Presidency, Generals LEWIS CASS : T and WILLIAM 0. BtjTTLER, are committed by all the obligations of the present and the past. ®fGreat and venerated as are these names, and dis tinguished alike for deeds of martial and civic re ' nown. *hey would present no attraction to us, or to • you, but for- their identification with the undying iruths which we profess. We honor them for their services, their abilities, and their public and private . irtues, but we honor them most in their selection “iis the agents for imparting a consistent and con- I;cientious efficacy to the popular will. MORRIS LONGSTRETH, selected as the De ganocratic candidate for Governor, is equally worthy jpj'f our suffrages, because equally devoted to these principles- Like the lamented Shunk, LV e has risen to merited fame by a life of industry nd integrity,'unsupported by the adventitious aids bof family wealth and influence—and we esteem it 3; 10 ordinary praise to say, that he is worthy to as o-mme the mantle of that venerated and lamented ■ patriot.

We congratulate the Democrats of the 13th Congressional district, composed of !the counties of Lycoming, Clinton, Northumberland and Union, on the nomination of this consistent and well-tried Republican for the next Congress. This is the dis trict at present represented, or rather misrepresent ed, by Mr. Pollock, who has repeatedly crept into Congress through our unfortunate disputes and di visions. We had the pleasure, in 1844, of meeting Gen. Petriken at a Democratic meeting in New and also at another in Shamokin valley. Northumberland county, and found him a moat popular and agreeable gentleman, who possesses every requisite qualification of mind and character for a seat in the National councils. In all the rela tions of private life, no man has preserved a more unblemished reputation, and his devotion to the Democratic party is attested by years of active and energetic labor. We admire the pertinacity with which his friends adhere to him. He richly de serves it. Mr. Pollcok having declined a re-election, Gen. Petriken is opposed by a Mr. Joseph Casey, a Fed eral lawyer, in Union county. We look with con fidence to the redemption of this district. . When united, the Democratic majority is from 7 to 800, and it -would be a burning shame to permit the Whigs to carry it again. The Democratic papers in the district are confident success. Lelilgh will “ do better." The : Democrats of this county had two great meetings in Allentown last week. The first was addressed by Hon. R. Brodhead and Capt. A. H. Reeder of Easton, and by Charles Davis, Esq., of Reading, formerly of Allentown. Mr. Davis has for the last 20 years been a leading member of the bar, and is a highly exemplary and influential gentleman. Heretofore he has acted with our op ponents, but in the spirit, of an honest and consci entious man he comes voluntarily forward and ac knowledges the superiority of Democratic princi ples. Mr. D. rernarked, « that he stood before the Democracy of Lehigh in the attitude of one whose principles had undergone a change—or rather that those with whom he had formerly acted hadr aban doned, as he conceived, the principles for which they once contended—and consequently, having no desire to act with a party without principles, and whose only object was to get into power by the delusory cry of “ availability,'' he had determined to renounce, once and forever, all connection with the Whig party." The second meeting was ably addressed by the Hon. James M. Porter, and at the close of his remarks the following resolution was offered by R. E. Wright, Esq., and passed unanimously : Resolved, That as the “ public good " should gov ern public officers in all their actions, regardless of every other consideration, the Democracy of Le high are of opinion that it is the imperative duty of Morris Loxgstbetii, the Democratic candidate for Governor, to retain the office of Canal Com missioner which he now so ably fills, and thus pre vent the public works of this State, from falling into the hands of a party who have never failed to pervert and misuse them. Officers, Charles Ihrie, Esq., President; Major William Fry, Hon. Joseph Fry, John Rex, George W. Feering, George Guth, William Hittle, Seifr, Vice Presidents. Pole Raising in Martic. On Saturday, 9th inst., a splendid Hickory Pole, bearing the names of the Democratic nominees, was erected near Winter's school-house in Murtic township. The pole was presented by Simon Win ters, an old and faithful democrat, and brought to the ground under the superintendence of Socrates Miller. A large number of the Democracy of Martic were present, and the utmost enthusiasm prevailed. After the raising had been successfully completed, an animated speech was delivered by John K. Raub, of Strasburg township, which elic ited rounds of applause. The Democracy of old Martic are eager for the fray, and will give a good account of themselves. More Whig Inconsistency. William C. Rives, the famous from the Democratic ranks in Virginia, has consented to run upon the Taylor electoral ticket for the Albe marle district. Now the only principle of action that the whigs directly avow will govern (inn. Taylor, should he be chosen, is a refusal to exer cise the Veto power. Yet this same William C. Rives, when in the U. S. Senate, defending Gen. Jackson against Mr. Clay, spoke of the Veto pow er as “ the great constitutional provision—a shield, among other great purposes, for the protection of the Constitution and the Rights of the States." i o4? order, and. has an excellent custom.

At a meeting of the Democratic County Cotp mittee held in this city, on Friday last, William Matkiot, Esq., was re-appointed Chairman, and Joseph M. Watts, of Columbia, Secretary. The only additional business of importance, transacted on the occasion, was the adoption of a resolution, accepting the challenge of the Whig press to a pub lic discussion. The following letter was accord! ingly yesterday addressed to Mr. Thompson, the Chairman of the Whig County Committee. The topics embraced in this letter are those that legiti mately belong to the present controversy, and we trust there will be no hesitancy on the part of our opponents to meet them : Lancaster, Sept. ISth. 1848. JOHN L. THOMPSON, Esa., Chairman of the Whig Committee of Lancaster county: Dear Sir: A challenge to a public discussion upon the principles and measures ol the Whig and Demo cratic parties, having been published in several ol the Whig newspapers of this county, the subject was referred to the Democratic Committee of Cor respondence of Lancaster county, for their conside ration and action. At the meeting of that body on Friday last, it was unanimously resolved to ac cept the challenge, and the undersigned were ap pointed a Committee to make the necessary ar rangements on behalf of the Democratic party. We have thought proper to signify our accep ,tance of the challenge to you as the Chairman of the Whig County Committee, so that the discussion may be conducted under the authority of the reg ular! y constituted committees of both parties. , In communicating the above, we desire to express our gratification that upon the eve ol a Guberna torial and Presidential election, an opportunity will thus be afforded to discuss before the whole people.' the questions, both State and National which are now at issue between the great political parties of the day. s To prevent any misunderstanding in reference to the questions to be discussed, we deem u proper to state, that as our object is to afford the fullest in formation to the people, we shall insist upon a discussion of all the principles, both State and National, of the Democratic as well as of the Whig party. In regard to the Democratic creed : We shall be prepared to sustain the principles set forth in the Resolutions of-the Baltimore Con vention. held in May last, which constitute the great platlorm of the political faith of the Democratic Party of the Union. • You will observe that these Resolutions, a copy" of which we take the liberty of sending to you, declare the sentiments of the Democracy of the Nation in the clearest terms, — that they assert among other things the justice and. necessity of the Mexican War : That the Tariff of 1840 and the Independent Treasury are beneficial to the Country, and that the Veto Power should be preserved in the Constitution. All the Resolutions of the Baltimore Convention we cordially subscribe to, and are ready to maintain. We shall also be prepared to shew that the prin ciples and-measures of Gov. Shnnk, proclaimed in his Messages and exemplified tn his Administration, and which our candidate, Morris Longstreth, is pledged to carry out, have advanced and will contin ue to advance the interests and prosperity of the Commonwealth. On the other hand, the Whig Convention which nominated Gen. Taylor, having failed to promulgate any opinions upon the great questions of National Policy, we shall be compelled to resort to the Whig newspapers published in the North and South for a declaration of the principles of the Whig Party of the Union. It will also be necessary for us to refer to that period of our history, when the Whigs had control of our National and State Administrations in order to discover what principles and measures they advocated and established. The last time the Whigs had control of our Na* tional affairs, was at the Sessions of Congress of 1841 and 18<f2, and it is fair to presume that the principles advocated and supported by the Whig party then, constitute the Whig principles of the present day. The measures of that Congress were a National Bank—the distribution of the proceeds of the Public Lands—the Bankrupt Law and the Tariff' of 1842. We assert and are prepared to prove at the Bar of Public Opinion, that these measures are either unconstitutional, or that in their operation, they were unjust, oppressive, and ruinous to the country. In-reference to our State Politics, we assert, and will undertake to prove, that the establishment of the Pennsylvania United States Bank, and other measures of Governor Ritner, the last Whig Gov ernor of our Commonwealth, were prejudicial to the interests and welfare of the people of Penn sylvania. We are thus explicit in making known the sub jects we propose for discussion, for the purpose of obtaining a distinct understanding in regard to the questions at issue between the two parties. In conclusion we beg leave to say, that it will afford us much pleasure to meet a Committee of the body over which you preside to make the ne cessary arrangements in reference to the number of speakers, time, place, &c., of holding the dis cussion. With assurances of our high regard, We remain Your, obedient serv'ts. WM. MATHIOT, J. B. AMWAKE, G. A. MILLER, J. W. JACKSON, ELLIOTT E. LANE ID" J. P. Hale is magnanimously electioneering for Van Buren in New Hampshire. A few days before his nomination Van Buren wrote that, if no other candidates than Cass, Taylor and Hale were presented, he should not vote for president! Hiohlt Honorable. —A Mexican gentleman of great intelligence and liberality, states that there does not exist in the whole of Mexico, at this time, a single unpaid debt contracted by any of the. officers of our regular army.

DJ-“If there is any body under the canister of heaven that I have in utter excrescence,’ 1 said Mrs. Partington, “it is a tale-bearer and-slanderer, going about like a vile boaconstructor, circulating his calomel about honest folks.

It seems "as if Belzabub had marked him with his private signal, and every thing he looks at appears to turn yalier.” And having uttered this somewhat elaborate speech, she was seized with a fit of coughing, and called for some demulcent drops. FREE SOIL. At a meeting of the friends of Free Soil, favo rable to thfe election of Van Buren and jAdams, held at the Court House in the city of Lancaster, on Saturday, September 9th, 1848, the following persons were appointed officers, viz : jj President . jj BENJAMIN CONARD, of Liitlelßritainj Vice Presidents. [ William King, Fulton, ] Henry G. Herr, Strasbtirh. i Secretaries.- j / William Burgess, East LampeteJ, P. Martin Heitler, Ephraim j On motion, A. H. Hood, Dr. Joseph Gibbons,.- Day-Wood, B. Herr, and James Martiniwere ap pointed a committee to draft resolutionacxpress* ive of the sense of the meeting, who reported the following, which were unanimously adopted. The object for which we have this day assem bled is one of no common interest. Sonar as the political course of individuals can effect] the des tiny of our country the welfare and happiness not only of ourselves, but of those who may come after us must in some degree depend upon our present action. To many among us thf position in which we now stand in relation to the politi cal organizations with which we formerly were,, and still in some measure are *connecti d is not o\lr own seeking. We have been forced into it. So frr as our efforts could extend we dji all that could be done to prevent the necessity which has compelled us to take the ground we now occupy. We are not deserters.but exiles. Noaternative was presented to us but to act as we have acted or abandon principles long and ardently cherish ed, the practical recognition of which throughout the length and breadth of the land we [deem es sential to the perpetuation of republican govern ment. Entertaining these views to have pursu ed any other course than that which Kve have done would have been to forfeit our’own self re spect and suffer ourselves to be made the passive instruments in the hands of others to bring about an event which we cannot, after the most anxious consideration, regard as otherwise thanjan evil of the greatest magnitude. | - Our fathers, to form a more perfect[ union of the Several states, to promote the-general welfare and to secure the blessings of liberty to them selves and their posterity adopted a j frame of government which they supposed would effectu ally secure these objects. In-this glorious de sign time has shewn that they partially failed. An institution, aptly characterized as t|ie sum of all villainy, at that time existed in some of the states ana its existence was recognized by the makers of the constitution in the delusive "hope that in a few years it would be sentterpd like a noxious mist before the advancing intelligence of the age and wide spreading rays ofGospel Truth. But instead of languishing till it died and finding a dishonorable grave, it. flourished and 1 as grown till its deadly foilage has almost shut out the light of our resplendent stars from the gaze of an admiring world. Fifteen states of thil fair land now directly groan beneath its unhallowed influ ence, while indirectly it rules the rema ningpor tion of the Union, though nominally free as with a rod of iron. During four-tilths of tie whole period since the adoption- of the constitution the Executive Power has been in the handswf South ern men, while for the remaining portion of the time it has, with but a,' single, exception, been careful that none from the North, save those who were bound hand and foot, soul and body, to car ry out its will should ever fill the officejof Presi dent. Ever since the foundation of the Govern ment at least three-fourths of all the most impor tant offices have been held by slaveholders while of inferior stations they had, almost an individual monopoly. With but few exceptions,! scarcely enough tu give color to the idea that tne North has something to do with national the aris tocracy of the South command our armies, officer our ships, negotiate our treaties, and jin every possible way appropriate to themselves the hon ors and profits of the republic, while the free sons, jof the North must be satisfied with fighting ‘the 1 ' battles of the country as privates, and paying the expenses which are ever attendant upon military fame. To this course is the South driven by her desire to foster and perpetuate the curse of slave ry. Its maintenance requires the powers of the government should he welded by no other hands than her own, and it is easy to perceive that as the institution spreads she must become rpbre and more watchful and still more ex tension of slavery gives the South power and the power thus acquired mu9t be used for its own prn - servation. -The consequence which must ineveita bly follow the extension ofSlave Tetritory is that the South, from the necessity of the case, must not only govern her own slaves,but to keep slaves to govern, she must at the same time govern the free men of the North. That this reasoning is known to be sound by the Slaveholders of the South is apparent from their 1 acts. Their intrigues and aggressions forc ed the nation to war with Mexico and the valor ol our soldiers added to the Union an extent of ter ritory sufficient for the formation of twenty new states. Over these extensive regions the South boldly claims the right of spreading the dark flag of human bondage, and if not timely and. firmly opposed will succeed. The candidate of the Democratic party stands openly and boldly pledged to give all the aid in his power to carry out this nefarious scheme, while the candidate of the Whigs though too cunning to give the .peo ple any information respecting his ulterior inten tions, from his life and "habits of thought, from his location from his avowals to a committee of the Mississippi Legislature, and from fact that he is himself the owner of two hundred human chat ties, cannot he otherwise than strongly in favor of extending the area and power of Slavery. At all events he is considered by the South as per fectly sound upon this subject, and if no other fact.than this concerning him was known, it would be quite enough of itself to induce every trim friend of humanity to withhold from him his vole. To us the evidence against both these candidates is conclusive and as patriots, as friends of religion and friends of down trodden humanity we 11 exert all constitutional and legal means in our power to secure their defeat. . Therefore,’ in the words of a Pennsylvania Legislature while Penn sylvnnia was a truly Democratic state, be it Resolved, That “ when measures of this char acter are seriously advocated, in the republican Congress of America, in the nineteenth century, the people of the several states are invoked by the duty which they owe to the deity, by the which they entertain for the memory of the founders of the republic, and by a tender regard for posterity, to protest against its adop tion, to refuse to covenant with crime, and to limit the range of an evil that already hangs in awful boding over so . large a portion of the Union.” Resolved, That, as expressive of the sense -ol this meeting, we adopt the two following resolu tions, passed byourfriends in Virginia, That the institution of Slavery, in its origin and essence, ts repugnant to the natural rights of mankind, he benevolent spirit and manilest aim of Chris tianity, and should it be extended to any territo ry now free, by any act or omission of the Fed eral Government, it would expose the people' of the United states to the reproaches, the scorn and the abhorrence of the friends of liberty and justice throughout the civilized world; So far as we fail to oppose this measure, so far we shall be partakers in its guilt and its shame; that the convictions of morality and religion, of con science &, of duty, .cannot be surrendered or com promised, and that we therefore think it due to ourselves, and to the great questions now before us solemnly to declare, that we cannot consent to any arrangement or device by which a single square mile of jerritory now free, shall be con verted into slave soil, bur on the contrary, will forever, and by all just and constitutional means, .oppose every attempt, whether open or covert, to effect such extension. Resolved, That we cordially approve and adopt the principles adopted by the Buffalo Con vention, and congratulate the friends of “ Free Soil” in having such illustrious chiefs as Martin Van Buren-and Charles Francis Adams to bear our standard in the coming contest, &, we there fore accept the issue tendered us by the Slave holders in the Baltimore and Philadelphia Con ventions; and while they go for slavery, slave labor, and a slave accursed soil, we go for free dom, free soil, free speech, a free press, and freedom of man, as man, wherever the Federal Government has power to secure these blessings. Resolved, That we deem it inexpedient at this time to form a separate ticket for State or County officers, but that a committee of corre spondence be appointed by the chair, whose duty it shall be to interrogate the Whig and Demo cratic candidates for Congress respecting their views on the Wilmot Proviso. The said Com mittee to report to another meeting to be called by them, or through the Press as the said com mittee may deem proper. Resolved, That, Elwood Brown, P. Martin Heitlcr, Benjamin Conard, John P; Harlan. Dr. Joseph Gibbons, William Burgess, John K. Herr, Henry Carter, Joseph Gonder, Snr. Robert H. Long and A. H. Hood be appointed delegates to represent.this county in the Free Soil Con vention to be held at Reading on the 13th inst. The following named persons were appointed a committee of Correspondence, viz : Dr. Joseph Gibbons, Mark P ; . Cooper, Henry Carter, P. M. Heitler and J. P. Harlan. The Meeting was eloquently and ably address ed in the afternoon by Dr. Longshore, Bucks county, and in the evening by Mr;' Urguahaft of Ohio, and Dr. Snodgrass of Maryland, formerly editor of the Balrmore Saturday Visitor. Resolved, That the proceedings be signed by the officers, and that the editors of the several papers published in Lancaster be respectfully re quested to publish the same. Signed by the Officers.
