DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATE Fl: . 2t
CANAL COMMISSIONER:
JOHN A. GAMBLE,
OF LYCOMING . COUNTY
Lancaster, August 21, 1849.
Dr To our brethren of the Press, throughout the
State, who have so kindly noticed our connexion
with the "INTELLIGENCER," we return our sincere
thanks; and shall endeavor to merit a continuance
of their confidence and esteem, by devoting all our
energies to the best interests of the people, and the
propagation of Democratic principles.
ili - The Editor expects to be at his post in one
week from this 'date.
Canal Commissioner.
The . electionof a Canal Comniissioner this fall,
in the place of JAMES M. POWER, the present Fed
eral incumbent, , involves questions of deep interest
for the whole Commonwealth. For, in proportion
as the Public Works are judiciously and honestly
managed, so will be the faith of the State secured,:
its prosperity enhanced, and facilities opened up for
the developement of its great resources. The
Canal Board should be composed of men of integ
rity—of large business capacities—of Democratic
feeling—and animated by a common desire to per
form faithfully and thoroughly their whole duty.
Otherwise the interests of the State will be neglec
ted, and the power of the Board prostituted to un
wholy purposes, or its usefulness fritted away in
partisan squabbles, too thinly disguised to impose
upon any thinking man. Such have been the re
sults produced by the conduct of JAMES M. POWER
during the past year. This man, instead of devot
ing his energies to an honest fulfilment of the im
portant duties of his responsible office, has labored
with malignant zeal to thwart the labors of his
Democratic colleagues, and to throw distrust and
concealment around the true state of affairs. More
earneast in his party bigotry than in the faithful
performance of his trust, he has earned for himself
a notoriety that will cling to him throughout the
balance of his life. Such men as he are deserving
the scorn of an outraged people, whose welfare has
been sacrificed upon the altar of factious interests,
and made subservient to the unwarrantable schemes
of ambitious demagogues.
All-the evils growing out of a Canal Board, divi
ded and embittered by an unprincipledpartisan,can
easily be remedied by the election of the Democratic
candidate, Joarr A. GAMBLE, whose capacity, integ
rity, and democratic fidelity are abOve suspicion,
and would infallibly secure an enlarged and honest
co-operation of the whole Board in the administra
tion of the affairs of the Public Works. By
such harmonious action, stimulated to increased
prudence ,3.nd activity, in order to overcome the
evils of past times, the Public Works could be
made to yield a revenue that would go far to
relieve the people from the onerous burthen Of
taxation, fastened upon them mainly, by Federal
misrule and extravagance during the administration
of JOSEPH RITNER. The Democracy is the party
of prudence and economy, and its predominance
always contrasts strongly with the headlong rash
ness and extravagance of Federalism—which, when
in the ascendency, whether in the General or State
Governments, is always characterized by a system
of measures, fruitful in lavish expenditure and waste
fulness. The history of our Public Works is an
irrefragable proof of this assertion; for it is within
the knowledge of all, that they have only began to
yield a revenue, and ceased to be a burden, since
they have been controlled by a Democratic Board
of Commissioners.
John A. Gamble.
It is cheering to observe the manner in which
the nomination of Join% A. GAMBLE, for Canal Com•
missioner, is received in all parts of the State. All
parties aivard him the possession of sound business
qualities, unbending integrity and untiring industry: .
just such a man as the people require' in the important
post of Canal Commissioner. Aside from Mr. G. s
many public qualities, he is regarded by the people
who know him, with that respect,which a generous
friend and neighbor ever elicits; and his personal
popularity in this`State, is equal to that of almost
any other man in the ranks.
There appears, too, to be a deep-seated feeling,
on the part of the Democracy, to wipe out the stain
which now rests upon their political escutcheon.
Defeated at two successive elections, by the basest
trickery and deception, they now are determined to
give the dominant factions, at Washington and
Harrisburg, such a warning as will teach them the
fate which they may expect.
All these causes and objects combined, have
united the party in the closest bonds of harmony;
and we look for a triumph at the next election, that
will redeem the honor of the glorious Democracy
of the Keystone State.
The Elections
The results in the States of Indiana, Kentucky,
North Carolina, and Tennessee, have been more
'glorious to the Democracy than any of them could
have anticipated. It was feared that we would
lose in the first three States. A clear loss of two
in Kentucky was considered certain ; but instead
of all this, we have, so far as heard from, gained
one in Kentucky, three in Tennessee, (the Whigs
admit two,) and one in Indiana, besides eleciing a
Governor in Tennessee by three thousand, General
Taylor having carried that State'!fist fall by 6,000!
Five was the whole gain wanted to make us even
with the whigs in the next Congress, and that we
will have a majority over them, and so be able to
carry a strong bridle-hand on the no-party President
and his interesting cabinet, may be set down as
certain. The administration will be kept to its
pledge of having no measures, and abstaining from
all control pver the representatives of the people.
This is truly glory enough for one day, even though
it be August the' 2d, one of the longest of the dog
days.
Tax M.str.s.—We receive our exchanges very
irregular from the West and the South, and we
would be Much obliged to .T..scou COLLAMER if he
would see that his officials attended to their busi
ness a little better. We'receive occasionally three
Washington Union's of different dates at once; and
to get two at a time, is very common. Now, if
the fault is in the Union office, it should be rectified;
but if it is in the Post-office Department, it cannot
be otherwise, because the head of that department
is busy writing letters to the south, and his man
Friday, Frirz Wattaxis, has no time to look after
the mails, his occupation being to "cut heads off."
Our western exchanges, also, are slow and irreg.
ular in arriving at this office. At times we get
papers from Indiana and Ohio, dated back as far
as July and June. But we dare not complain. To
complain is to libel the administration, and to tell
the truth is to disturb the equanimity of the fede
ralists in this region.
]]7The news from Tennessee has cast a damper
upon the feelings of the "Taylor Republicans" in,
this region. Some of them can't see why Tennes
see was so anxious to have Zachary put forward fy
the Presidency and yet desert him in the very morn
ing of his career. No doubt the Tennesseans could
not imagine, themselves, at the time, why they were
so anxious to have "OLD ZACEI" put forward, but
they firm see a reason to give 'him to understand
that he has disappointed them . . From all indica
tions, there is a good time coming, and TAYLOR
Will yet have an opportunity of fulfilling some of
his pledgee.
Taylor's Administration.
There never was, perhaps, an administration
ushered into power under more favorable auspices
than that of - can. TAILOR. Everything seemed to
conspire together to render it strong, highly:res
pectable and nationaL The Country was left' by
Mr. POLY ' S administration; in a most prosperous
condition—peace and plenty crowded all its surface
—it finances were flourishing—and The national
character elevated by the brilliant results of a ne
cessary and successful war, whereby immense terri
tories were added to our already extensive domains,
and sources of boundless wealth thrown open to
the enterprise of American labor. 'Taking advan
tage of this general prosperity, promises were made
by Gen. TAyLort and his supporters, which induced
thousands to look forward to his elevation to, the
Presidency, as an era that would introduce new and
beautiful elements of action and conduct into the
politics of the country, and wipe out of existence
all those abuses of partizanship, which were said
to poison every department of government, and in
troduce into it corruption, fraud and dishonesty.
The promise was freely held out to :a credulous
and confiding constituency, during the canvass that
preceded his election, that Gen. TAlLon would be
the President of the whole American people, and
not the President of a party—that he had no 'ene
mies to punish, or friends to reward—that he
execrated, nay, loathed proscription—and that he
would remove no man from office for opinion's
sake, but only for incompetency or dishonesty—
that he Would not identify himself with any partic
ular set-of men; but would administer the Govern.
ment upon constitutional principles, and follow
hard after the example of the earlier Presidents,
particularly that of WASHINGTON.
Blinded by such promises, repeatedly made and
published to the world, and led astray by the glare of
military glory that clustered around the brow of
the Hero of Buena Vista, the people took him at
his word, and thousands, deserting their party pre
dilections, threw themselves with ardor into the
contest, and won for him the victory. Then came
a pause. All hearts turned with anxiety to see the
beginning, the opening act, of the "model adminis
tration," that was to foreshadow its future glory,
and realise the fondest hopes of its friends. But,
when men saw the complexion of the Cabinet with
which this "no-party President" arrounded him
self; and beheld among the number men infamous
for their want of patriotism, and notorious for their
partizan bigotry and intolerance, that had displayed
I itself in the hour of the Country's peril, then they
I began to see their own folly, and to question the
sincerity and honesty of the promises which had
been made to them. Doubt did not long hang on
the public mind; for BOOR each promise was
broken and trampled` under foot, and act followed
act, in rapid succession, testifying to the sad and
unwelcome truth, that Gen. TAYLOR had deliberate
ly violated his pledges, and thrown himself unre
servedly into the arms of Federalism, and become
the mere puppet of a contemptible faction, over
whose conduct imbecility presided with potent .
sway. For the first .time in the history of
. our
Government was presented the melancholy specta
cle, of a President surrendering his constitutional'
powers and duties into the hands of an irresponsible
cabal—becoming an absolute cypher in the admin
istration—thwarted in his wishes—his credulity
played upon—and his simplicity outraged by the
tricks and frauds of political gamesters. The axe
of proscription which was to be unused—the very
sight of which was said to be loathsome 'to Gen.
TAYLOR—was brought forth in his presence, and
sharpened anew for the work of slaught And
in the hands of FITZ WARREN, and other kindred
spirits, has slain more victims, for opinion's sake,
than all other administrations of the General Gov
ernment put together. No discrimination has been
exercised—the old and decrepid soldier of the War
of 1812, females, and widows of men who did the
country service, and the maimed volunteer, who,
side by side with Gen. TAILOR, gathered laurels on
the glorious field of Buena Vista, have all been
murdered to make way for bitter Federalists, and
those whose only merit was that of the traitor, and
deserved punishment rather than reward.
Such is Gen. TAYLOR'S administration—recreant
to all its solemn pledges, and false to its friends.—
Without possessing a single redeeming trait, it is
submerged in its own mendacity, and scorned by a
deceived people, who are awaiting the approach of
that hour when the dynasty, that now insults their
intelligence, shall be indignantly hurled from its
high position, and taught to_ know that treachery
and falsehood always receive, at the hands of a free
people, condign punishment. To that hour we
look forward with earnest hope, and greet the pre
sent dissatisfaction and disgust, as the harbinger of
restoration to power of the great Democratic party,
under whose guidance our country has reached its
present proud and prosperous condition, and whose
predominance can alone secure and perpetuate the
blessings of our free institutions.
Gen. Taylor's Proclamation
From the flying reports in certain newspapers,
Northern and Southern, gotten up for the purpose of
supplying the present derth in the 'exciting news"
market, the President has been gulled into -
belief that armed bands are forming to invade
Cuba, and annex it to this country. His procla
mation on the subject is veiled in all the secrecy of.
diplomacy; yet it speaks an evident ignorance of the
whole affair, and had no other cause than the re
ports in the said newspapers. The New York
correspondent of the Pennsylvanian thus felicitously
hits off this last bantling of the " Second Wash:
The Proclamation of the President General, cre
ates a huge sentiment among the wags, to-day, for
no body else, seemingly, pays any attention to it. It
throws Horn's "last," and all, right into the shade.
Don Quixotte's onslaught on the windmill was ri
diculous enough, certainly, but does not half so vio
lently exercise one's risible propensities as this
queer freak of the "Second Washington." The
man, or rather his Cabinet, has been seeing a hob
gobblin, which some of the newspaper correspond.
ents, north and south, have purposely gotten up to
frighten the "Confidence man" at Washington.—
They have succeeded admirably, and they are
laughing heartily enough to-day at the success of
their scheme. Men of sense, however, deeply' feel
the humiliation such a Presidential puerility, brings
upon the country. Men training in New York to
invade Cuba! 'Nonsense, Mr. Clayton. There are
men training in New York, but the fighting they
are to do, will be, next November, at the ballot
box, and against a home, not a foreign despotism.
YORK AND CUMBERLAND RAILROAD.-ThiS road,
which is built for the purpose of connecting the
city of Baltimore: with the public works of our
State at Harrisburg, by linking York with Cumber
land, is to be furnished with a rail of then pattern.
It is the same as that in use on the St. Lawrence
and Atlantic road, and experiments have proved it
to be of a very superior character. From its shape,
the process of rolling imparts to the top of the rail
a vertical position of the grain of the iron, which
effectually prevents the lamination from which rails
ordinarily suffer most. The iron is to be delivered
for less than $4O per ton, an extremely low price,
and the road, it is believed, will be completed in
less than a year.

Prescription and Arrogance of
. Taylorism.
In reference to the coarse and ruffiian-like attacks
Of the organ of the cabinet and the whig press
generally upon clerks who have been removed from
O'ffice , by the cabinet advisers .of the man who in
the presence of God and the people, and with the
oath of office warm upon his lips, pledged himself
that he would remove those only in whom were
absent the requisites of "honesty, ability, and fidel
ity"—and who, repelling the vile imputation thus
put upon them by the President, have demanded
the reasons of their removal, the Boston Past thus
pointedly remarks :
The anti-proscriptive whigs are not satisfied with
turning democrats out of office; but if one of the
removed dares to make the truth of his case known
through the press, the Taylor organs, from the Re
public to the smallest recipient, set upon him in
regular blood hound style. It will not do to
hint that Zachary is fallible, or that his cabinet
are anything short of saints. A removed office
holder cannot, by any possibility, be other than a
bad fellow. What right has he to open his mouth
about° the pledges. by which our anointed Chief
Magistrate diddled the people? The "foul and
scurrilous lampooner!" how dares he "rail" at thOse
"estimable gentlemen" that have pronounced him
dishonest, unfaithful, and incapable?" Isn't he
Convicted? Let him no longer presume to enjoy
the rights of a citizen, nor to think and utter the
thoughts of a freeman.
Truman Smith & his Operations.
The country will see the reason why all the dem
ocratic postmasters have been swept from office by
JACOB COLLAMER and his man Friday, FITZ Haan:
WARREN', from the following paragraph, which we
copy from the Commercial Bulletin:
Great quantities of franked documents, without
direction, except the name of the post office, now
lumber up the mail bags. They are stamped "Free ;
Truman Smith, U. S. Senate." The whig post
masiers are to write the superscription on them,
and distriVute them. This is not considered by the
administration "interfering in elections." :
Democratic postmasters have been removed to
enable the cabinet to convert the post offices into
political agencies for the distribution of the matter
got up and sent to them by the degraded and dis
graced senator from Connecticut. And yet this
administration has the brazen effrontery to denounce
the interference of office holders in elections. Pol
itical fraud and cheating seem to be the highest
aim of its statesmanship, and deceit and falsehood
the means by which its ends are attained. Who
wonders that the honest and truth-loving American
people should rise up-and rebuke them ? The bal
lot box has in store for them a louder voice.of con
demnation than they have yet heard.

New Discovery of Silver Ore.
A Washington correspondent of the New York
Herald, makes the following statement, which we
give for what it is worth:—
" Not long since, perhaps a year ago, a gentleman
who was walking four or five miles from Washing
ton, stopped to crack a nut; in doing this he chip
ped off several particles of slate stone, which ex
hibited spangles. Fearing that this was mica, he
tarried home a pocket full of the slate to experi
ment; and, putting it on the fire, had the satisfac
tion to see the molten silver run out on the hearth.
The yield was about one pound of silver to thirty
of the ore in the slate. It is the geniune metal, as
I know from examination. He made a minute
survey of a part of the premises, and says that for
half a mile or more there is a great abundance of
the treasure. The owner of the land is not aware
of his riches; the discoverer not having informed
him. There is an occasional sprinkling of gold
among the silver ore."
t This discovery has lain rather too long without
being divulged, and without any use being made of
his knowledge by the discoverer. But we give it
as we find it.
“ Repulsed ” Whigs
The Nashville True Whig, not liking to ackow
ledge that its party has been terribly whipped by
the democracy in that State, announces the result
in the following terms of reluctant admission:
"Judging front the returns, as far as they have
reached us, the whigs have donbtless been repulsed
all over the State."
Mortifying as it undoubtedly is, the Nashville
editor should honorably acknowledge the truth in
plain English. It shoidd say that the whips have
been badly beaten—soundly thrashed—'all over the
State. - We sympathize with our discomfited Whig
friends, but they are destined to many more repulses
before the present presidential olympiad expires.
Mifflin County
The Democrats of this county have nominated
the following excellent ticket—one, too, which is
sure to be elected:
.dssemb/y.—ALExAsnEn GIB DONEE, of Union
township. Commissioner—GAßßlEL DIINXIRE, of
Oliver township. Treasurer—Roli . T. H. MCCLIN
TICK , of Lewistown. Auditor—Cs - firs DOR3IAN,
of Decater township.
JOSEPH ALEXANDER, Esq., of Lewistown, was
elected Representative Delegate to the next Demo
cratic State Convention.
Extract from a private letter from Washington city,
dated,
The work of proscriptfon still progresses, and
"heads" are being "cut off" daily, hourly, and even
minuitely. The axe has been in motion in P. G.
Washington's office, Sixth Auditor of the Treasury
Department. I send you a list of the victims:
Thomas H. Hopkins, of Tenn.; Joseph Wimsatt

THAT CUBAN' MOVEMENT.--We hope our Yan
kee confidence does not lead us so far, as to suppose
that 300 '•native drilled militia" could enter and
lay waste to Cuba, and capture her Christian Ma
jesty's capitol at Havana, without first accomplish
ing the disagreeable task of whipping two or three
millions of her Christian Majesty's loyal subjects.
We like this "Buffalo Hunt" scheme amazingly.
t till afford us something to talk about for the
nr xt three months, at the end of which time Con
gress will assemble, and allow' us an opportunity
of substituting some other topic—perhaps the pro
tocol bubble.
ID - The officials in the Pittsburg and Pottsville
post-alines are a rare set of fellows, and certainly
an honor to their different stations. The former is
a peremtory gentleman, yet so indefinite as to re
mind us of his great master; while the latter must
,make an exceedingly courteous'officer, if we dare
judge from his Impudence and insolence. We
would just inform him, that it is his province to
attend to business, and not to give advice.
Ea - Honest Tom Ewing, Taylor's Secretary of
the Home Department, is one of the greatest spec
ulatois of the age. There are documents on file in
the Pension Office at Washington, showing that
while: he was a Senator in Congress, he procured
an assignment to himself of revolutionary soldiers'
scrip to the astonishing amount of more than $l5O,
000 worth. This, together with the $20,000 ob
tained from the United States Bank, is sufficient to
qualify any man to become one of Gen. Taylor's
Cabinet.

Jim So.—The Boston Post says the Taylor pa
pers are now exulting in the fact that all the dem-
ocrats in Vermont do not unite in support of the
free democracy nomination made by the Montpelier
convention. Should the whigs happen to succed
in chosing their ticket, these same Taylor papers
will send up a great shout about the "triumph of
whiggery over the coalition of free soilers and
democrats,", and yet the whigs here claim to be the
best free Boilers on the face of the earth!
THE CLOVEN FooT.—The Louisville Democrat
says that the Whig Review, the organ, par excellence
of the party, contains in the July number a review
of WASHINGTON'S administration, the chief object
of which is to exalt HAMILTON and disparage JEF
rzasos. It is genuine Federalism, undisguised.
What the organ will do with the second WASHING
TON we cannot tell; for he, in his letter to INGERSOLL,
professed, in shocking bad English, to be a disciple
of JEFFERSON in particular.
BERTY.—Milton, whose political reflec
tions are as distinguished for their wisdom as his
poetry is for its great imaginative Power, speaking
of true liberty, says: "This is not the liberty which
we can hope, that as grevances ever should arise
in the commonwealth, that let no man in this
world expect; but when complaints are freely heard,
deeply considered and speedily reformed, then is
the utmost bound of civil liberty attained that wise
men look for."
CAMPBELL AND LUNT,—The epigram on the
American Flag by CAMPBELL, the English poet,
and retort of Mr. LIINT, of Massachusetts, are
among the best things of their kind. CAminim-Vs
epigram on the American Flag was :
United States ! your banner wears
Two emblems: one of fame;
Alas ! the other that it bears,
Reminds us of your sheltie !
The white mans liberty, in types,
Stands blazoned by your stars ;
But what's the meaning of your stripes ?
They mean your negroes' scars!
And this is Mr, LUNT'S retort:—
England! whence came each glowing hue
That tints your flag of " meteor" light—
The streamer red, the deeper blue,
Crossed with the moon-beam's pearly white?
The blood and bruise—the blue-and red—
Let Asia's groaning millions speak ;
The white—it tells the color fled
From starving Erin's pallid cheek.
HARRISBURG AND LANCASTER RAILROAD.—The
two thousand shares reserved stock of this road,
were offered for sale during last week at the office
of the company, and the whole of, it taken at its
full par value by the stockholders. This shows
the high credit in which the obligations of this
company are held.
Fnom FLonina.—The National Intelligenclr states
that official intelligence was a few days since recei
ved at some of the Departments, to the effect that up
to the 30th of July, the Indians of Florida, in the
vicinity of Tampa Bay, were all quiet, and it was
not apprehended that any disturbances would soon
Occur.
[l3*Cozzarncz, treating of the inseperable con
nection of the truth with error, says, felicitously as
well as truly, that there are errors which no wise
man will treat with rudeness while there is a prob
ability that they may be the refraction of some
great truth as yet below the horizon.
LIKE TO SEE IT DONE TO llS.—The editor of the
St. Louis Reveille returned from dinner some days
since, and found upon his table, in the sanctum, a
basket of rich, well-flavored peaches, from a name
less donor. We would like to see such a trick
played upon us—we would indeed.
HARD Nisers.—lt appears, about Pottsville, Dem
ocrats are called Locofocos, and Whigs Donkey locos.
Donkey-foco is a new name in the'political vocabu
lary. It is not an unhandy one, however, and may
gradually creep into use. "He that hath ears to
hear, let him hear."
EXTENSIVE EMBEZZLEMEStT.-It has been dis.
covered that thirty-three boxes of foreign coin,
containing about $127,000, have been abstracted
from the Bank of Missouri, at St. Louis. The
paying teller, Nathaniel Childs, has been arrested
on suspicion, and great excitement prevails in St.
Louis on the subject.
A Barer TEXPERAMENT.—Hume, the historian,
in his own auto-biography, says: " I was ever more
disposed to see the favorable than the unfavorable
side of things, a turn of mind which is more happy to
possess than to be born to an estate of ten thousand
a year." The reader may see how easy it is to have
a large fortune.
"THE MEN TO MALE A STATE. - -Among the
members elected by the people of California, to
represent them in the Legislature, are two gentle
men who were formerly connected with the Herald,
of New York city, in the capacity of reporters.—
They are brothers, of the name of Wm. A. Buflln
and E. C. Buffin.
ET' The tone of good company is marked by
the absence of personalities. Among well informed
persons, there are plenty of topics to discuss, with
out giving pain to any one present—without sub
mitting to act the part of a butt, or of that still
poorer creature, the wag that plays upon him.
'Louis Phillippes stables have been converted
into hospitals. It would be glorious if the people
would serve every palace in Europe in the same
way. In this nineteenth century it is antonishing
that the masses will consent to be fooled by the
fools that are known by the name of kings.

a diicuision in the papers of
, Philadelphia and Bos
ton, as to the proper street observance in passing
ladies on the side walks. 'The custom still continues
in Boston, we believe, to give the wall to the lady;
this. indicates a somewhat backward state of man
ners and population. As one, of the journals refer
red.to very properly suggests, the usage 'originated
a long while ago, when the ways were narrow and
no side walks-for foot passengers were provided.
Then it was necessary, from courtesy and for safety,
to allow the lady the inside. With ample paymentis.
and the constantly mingling of women in both
streams of travel up and down, it is unnecessary
and absurd to continue the old distinction. A whole
life of patient observation might be passed in dis
covering and printing the various peculiarities of
people in the street, the dangers to be avoided, the
safest:courses, contact with others, chance acquain
tances, accost of strangers, street accidents, and a
thousand other incidents of the highway in a city.
A few wholesome practical rules may be easily laid
down for reference in our own latitude.
Never walk too fast, for you may run against a
post and break your head.
Never walk too slow, for.you may be overtaken
by a bore or a dun.
Never walk under a scaffold, for it may tumble
down.
Never walk on a grate, for you may tumble down.
Have a care in turning corners—you don't know
who you may run against, perhaps those whom you
least wish to see.
As a general rule to get along easily, and rid
yourself of all impertinent acquaintances in the
thoroughfares, give out that you are terribly near
sighted, and screw your eyes deep in your head,
whenever a man in a "shocking bad hat" looks
at you
Be respectful to men of wealth and police mag
istrates—give them all the room they ask 1 You
don't know how soon you may have occasion to call
on them or they on you.
Never under any consideration allow yourself to
be stopped at a corner and have an original Tragedy
in five acts read to you.
When a dun approaches, adopt Malvolio's prac
tice, and assume a look of austere regard. If a
debtor, accost him with a bland smile, raise your
voice and demand your bill.
P. S. You need never trouble yourself to look
up and observe that there's a-blue sky over you.
HOWE'S Cracus.—This immense estalilishment
will open in this city to-morrow, for exhibition.
The company connected with this Circus, embraces
some of the best male and female equestrian per=
formers, including Jonn . MAY, the Prince of Jesters.
Among the various artistes announced, we notice
the name of RICHARD REMISS, one of the boldest
and withal the most graceful riders, in the country.
He was formerly connected with WELSH'S Arena,
in Philadelphia, where he was nightly received by
the fashion and beauty of the city. This Circus
will aflbrd our citizens an opportunity of spending
a few hours in pleasant amusement; and
, we hope.
that all will avail themselves of the opportunity, as
amusement is the " spice of life."
DEDICATION.—The Sabbath School House, erec
ted by the Methodist Episcopal Church, in East
German Street, in the South part of this city, will
be dedicated to the service of Almighty God, on
Saturday, the 24th instant, at 3 o'clock in the after
noon. The services of the occasion will be con
ducted by Rev. Dr. PECK, President of Dickinson
College, and Rev. Was. Gam, of Columbia. The
services will be continued on the following Sabbath
morning and evening, in the Methodist Episcopal
Church, and at 3, P. M., in the School room. The
public are respectfully invited to attend.
BE CARTFUL.—PeopIe cannot be too careful. At
this season, our markets are filled with all kinds of
fruit, and people are apt to indulge freely, and even
eat to excess. We heard of a case of cholera on
Friday evening, which originated in an over indul
gence in fruit. The desease is fast leaving the large
citieo and working itself into the country, and it
therefore behooves all to be more on their guard,
observing temperance in eating and drinking.
AN IMPROVEDIENT.—The building on the north
west corner of North Queen Street and Centre
Square, has been beautifully improved, and now
forms one of the ornaments of the city.' By the
time it is thoroughly finished, and occupied, it will
add much to the beauty of that part of the city.
The workmanship on the front, is of the highest
order, and reflects great credit upon our Lancaster
mechanics.
DARING BURGLARY.—The house Of WILLIAM
FROCK, Esq., in North Queen street, was entered
on Sunday evening last, and robbed of the sum of
$5OO. The robbery was not discovered until Mon
day morning. All the doors and windows of the
house were found locked on Monday morning; and
the impression is that the act was committed early
on Sunday evening.
Tia NEW FACTORY.—This establishment will
soon be in active operation. The operatives are
now busy arranging the machinery for a "grand
start;" and in the course of two weeks the hum of
"a few more" spindles and looms will be heard
in that part of the city.
THE COUNTY JAIL.--The workmen are busy
on this structure, which begins to assume shape
and form. When this building is finished, it will
be one of the noblest of the kind in the country.
Book Notices.
Illustrated Lives and rldventures of the Desperadoes
of the New World. T. B. PETERSON, Philadelphia.
For sale in Lancaster by J. GISH & BRO.
We have just glanced at this volume, and a
glance was sufficient to disgust us. It is composed
of details of the lives of some of the worst men ;
setting forth their crimes and iniquities in all the
attractions of novel-romance, and giving, also, a
notoriety to those whose deeds are covered with
obloquy in the eyes of the refined and respectable.
We do not think that the sale of such books 'will
do much for the morals of the young, into whose
hands they generally pass.

CALIFORNIA Corr.—We yesterday had the pleas
ure of holding in our hand one of the new Califor
nia coins. It is about the size of ass 11. S. gold
piece, but it is not quite so handsome. On one
side it has the American Eagle, with the inscrip
tion, "California Gold;' "Without Alloy." On the
reverse it has a circle of stars with the inscription,
"Full Weight," "Half Eagle," "San Francisco," "N.
G. N," "1849." • The edge is smooth and not milled
like our coin. It has a different color from that of
our coin, being of pure gold. It is coined by a
private company. This coin will prove of great
convenience to the inhabitants of that truly golden
country.--N. a Picayune, *pea 6.
Death of Albert Gallatin.
The decease of- this remarkable man and emi
nent statesman took plitiecti Sunday, the 13th inst.,
at Astoria, N. Y. l inthe 89th year of his age: His
named is linked inseparably with the history of the
American republic, almost irons its cradle. He was
one.of the founders of the old democratic republi
can party, and signalized himself in Congress by
his opposition to the administratio n of John Adams.
He was born at Geneva, in Switzerland, in Jan
uary, 1761. He was left an orphan at an early age •
care but under the of a kind relation of his mother,
he was enabled to take his degree in the university
of that city, in 1778. One of his teachers was the
illustrious Muller, and one of his classmates Du
mont, the friend of the great Mirabedu. In one
year after he graduated, he emigrated to the United
States. He arrived at Boston on the 14th of JuLy,
1780. He had a letter of introduction from the
celebrated Rochefaucault to Franklin. Soon after
his arrival he proceded to the State of Maine, where
he served as a volunteer under Colonel John Allen.
Commander of the fOrt of Machias In 1782, he
was elected Professor of the French language in
the University of Harvard. This he left, soon atter,
for the South, and became acquainted, among other
public men, with Patrick Henry. In 1784 he ac
quired large tracts of land in Virginia, where he
had intended to fix his permanent residence.—
Troubles among the Indians, and
. other causes, in
duced him to abandon tit% intention, and he settled
in Pennsylvania. He was elected in the fall of
1789 a member of the Convention to amend the
constitution of Pennsylvania, and he united himself
with the democratic party. He opposed the system
of intermediate electors for President, and favored
universal suffrage without distinction of color. In
1790 he was elected member of the House of Re
presentatives of the State, and continued to be re
elected till 1793; when was chosen U. S. Senator.
His election was contested on the ground of defec
tive citizenship, on which occasion the date and
place of his birth transpired. He was declared not
entitled to a seat in Congress, because not ar ptizen
under the constitution. He continued in the Senate,
consequently, but two months. at which period the
deliberations of that body were for the first time
open to the public. His great abilities were even
then conspicuous, and gave promise of what he
afterwards performed on the political stage.
From the Alta Californian, July 2.
The Golden Emigration-
Never, in the history of man, has a single event
so universally affected the world as the discovery
of the gold mines of California. Coming as it did
so close on the heels of the Mexican war and the
revolutions of Europe,blazing as it did through
the smoke of battle fields, and booming above the
crash of falling thrones, it seems to have waked the
last chord, and struck the last string which was
needed to immortalize the year 1848.
.2E, in California, so in other countries, all men
were possessed with the desire for gold—for sudden
wealth. The old, the infirm, and the decrepid
longed for their lost strength or their full propor
tions, that they might journey away for the golden
land—the competent desired to embrace thisfavor
able opportunity to become immensely rich—the
young were burning with ardor to delve for the
precious ore—and already the advance guard of
the vast army wending theii way to California
have landed on our shores. The vivid imaginations
of the young, the far seeing judgment of the ex
perienced, the cupidity of the avaricious, the reck
lessness of the speculator, and the morbidness of the
adventurer, seem to have been equally and deeply
affected. In some instances the wantonness or
carelessness of editors and letter writers has added
to the tide of excitement whose surges are already
breaking on our shores.
'This state of things cannot fail to impress upon
the most casual ob7server the power which gold
posseses over the human mind. Parents, brothers,
sisters, friends, the endearments of home, the bless
ings of health, society, and competency, have all
been abandoned for the pursuit of gold-digging in
California. Men seem to be wrapped up in the
idea that gold is happiness—and they struggle, and
toil , •and suffer for it, with a patience and a perse
verance that shame the penances of hermits who
can not withstand the tempter. And yet we be
lieve that all tli,,se passions and desires, will ac
complish good though it is painful to reflect upon
the disappointment, the suffering and the unhappi
ness which must certainly be the lot of many,
very many individuals. The mighty spirit which
has been thus evoked will never stay its progress
until California shall be a populous and prosperous
State—until steam communication shall be opened
with China and the beautiful isle a the Pacific—
until a railroad shall traverse the whole breadth of
the continent of North America, and the fame and
glory of the "First of Republics" be worthy of the
immortal men whose patriotism and courage laid
its foundation.

Case of Childs, Alleged Defaulter.
ST. LOIII9, Aug. 14.
The opinion seems to be generally expressed that
the recent defalcation discovered in the Bank of
Missouri, is not of recent date, but has been going
on for several years.
The deficit of $21,000 is in assets, and not all in
gold. The amount of gold (or bulk) having been
fictitiously increased so as to balance deficits.
Two years ago Major Singer received a large
sum of money at this Bank to convey to Santa Fe.
It was sealed up at the Bank, but when opened in
New Mexico, $2,500 were missing.
The examination of Mr. Childs, the late paying
teller, who is under bonds, on the charge of being
the defaulter, is to take place to-morrow.
August 15.
The case of Mr. Nathaniel Childs, who, it is al
leged, is a defaulter to the Bank of Missouri, was
to have been heard this morning, but as the Grand
Jury is investigating the matter, the hearing has
been postponed.
Certificates of deposit, amounting to $46000, be
longing to Childs, have been seized.
A rumor prevails that assurance has been given
that most of the money will be recovered.
A lady is said to be involued in the case.
August 16.
Nathaniel Childs was yesterday required to enter
bail in the sum of $BO,OOO for his appearance be
fore the Criminal Court.
It appears that Childs resigned his tellership in
April last, but had been acting as teller during the
sickness of officers.
It is said that Childs has for some time had a
female friend, upon whom he
. lavished large sums
of money.
MINESOT/.—The Galena Advertiser, of the 4th
inst., announces the M-election of Henry H. Sibley
as Delegate to Congress from Minesota. He had
no opposition ; and, indeed, it does not appear that
party lines were drawn as regarded any one of the
candidates.

was a novelty among the speakers. The Latin
salutatory was delivered by a colored youth, and
he acquitted himself well. He subsequently ap
neared upon the stage and delivered an oration in
English. The Prinieton Record says that, as a
speaker. a writer or a thinker, he would not suffer
in comparison with his classmates.

of the enemy's movements.
The, London News of August 3d,'has Vienna
dates to July 2S. The English papers, with the
Hungarian debate, had arrived, and the Vienna pub
lic were occupied extensively in studying the trans

Palmerston's speech.. This, it is said, has been a
clap of thunderto the ministers.
The news of Gorgey having beaten the Russians
at raise°, entered Kaschau. and crossed the Theiss,
came at the same time, and already there were ru

Temeswar is reported to have surrendered to the

On the 15th of July, a desperate battle was fought
at Waitzen, between the Russians, commanded by
Paskiewitch, and the Hungarians under Gorgey, in
which the former were defeated.
A letter from the seat of war, says:—
"The attack of the Hungarians upon Paskiewitch's
division was tremendous, and the Russians were
borne down and compelled to yield, before the ter
rible onslaught of the Magyars, who fought with
unexampled courage and daring."
Another letter describes the Russian retreat to
Dunackeai, as a disorderly flight, before Demben
ski's Hussars; and states that the Russians were
only saved from annihilation by the arrival of
Remberg.
PRANCE
The President'has been on a tour to the South,.
On his return to Paris, he is to review the whole of
the Army of the Seine, amounting to 150,000 men.
This spectacle is at present fixed for the 15th of
August.
The Liverpool Journal says, his reception in the
provinces did not warrant the hope he is said to
entertain of being elected for ten years. We put
no faith in the teports of reaction in France—of
the restoration of the Orleanists or Bourbons. The
day is past for royal dramas, and Louis Napoleon
is no; the man to found a dynasty.
The President is still accused of aiming at the
Imperial Crown.
There seems every prospect of a most abundant
harvest throughout France. In some of the Depart
ments, the wheat is already cut, under the most
favorable circumstance's.
The funds are also on the advance, a material
prosperity is within the grasp of the public.
Although the French have restored the govern

peremptorily refuses to comply with.

RUSSIA
A Polish paper states, that a republican conspi
racy has been discovered in Russia—that numerous
arrests have been made, and that the whole affair
was divulged by a secretary of Count Orloff; 280
persons had been arrested. - Officers with let;res de
caches have been sent to Moscow and other cities,
to arrest the members of the conspiracy, which was
intended to overthrow the reigning dynasty and
establish a republic.
ENGLAND AND IRELAND.
The Queen having quitted Osborne House for
Ireland, on the 15th inst., the Parliament was pro.
rogued by commission. The speech delivered at
the close, contains nothing very novel.
The inhabitants of Cork, Dublin, and Belfast are
making the most active preparations to give a loyal
and enthusiastic reception to the Queen, and politi.
cal feelings are 'almost forgotten in the general ex
citement which prevails.
A discovery has been made by chemical process
to make available the vast peat bogs of Ireland,
and a gentleman named Owen, assisted by Lord
Ashley, is making the adventure to a considerable
extent.
By a detailed statement, it appears that 100 tons
of peat, which costs £B, and the labor of convert
ing it a further £B, produce no less an amount
than £Ol I6s. Bd.
Mr. Owen, it is stated by Lord Ashley, has ex
perimented upon thousands of tons of peat during
the last twelve months, with similar results.

A REWARD 'FOR MOETRNERS.-A superanuated
servant, who had resided for some years as a boarder
at the Asylum of Loches, Paris, died there a week or
two since. Being a Catholic, she had requested
that her remains should be carried to the cemetery
of the chapel of Chauffat. According to custom,
the Catholics of the locality were invited to accom
pany the defunct on her last journey. The weather
on the day of burial chanced to be very unpleasant,
and only six accepted the polite invitation; two of
these turned back when halt way there, discouraged
with the mud and prospective inducements. The
four persevering mourners saw the body laid in
earth, and then went to the sacristy, at the invita
tion of the curate, to hear the reading of the will
of the deceased. What was their surprise to dis
cover that the will bequeathed twenty thousand
dollars to be divided among those Who should fol
low her to the grave! The will was in good form,
and the money safely invested in the Bank of France.
Prrzn PENCE.—Peter pence was a tax which
originated in England, of a penny upon every house
which contained twenty pennyworths of any kind
of goods, and was paid to the Pope. It was an
ciently called Rome fee, Rome penny, Rome scott,
denarii S. Petri, and census Petri. It originated
with the Saxon, in the year 720; was discontinued
by Edward 111., revived by Richard 11., and termi
nated on the Reformation. It was a collection
from among the faithful to pay the personal expen
ses of the Pope. It was not, however, peculiar to
England, but was also levied in France and other
continental States, under the name of Deniers de St.
Pierre, denurios de San Pedro, 6-c.—Republic.
DEATH OF GEN. JOHE MITCHELL.-It iS with

Gen. John Mitchell, of the borough of Bridgewater,

Gen. Mitchell was well known to the people of
Pennsylvania, and haS enjoyed many of their high
est honors. As a representalive in Congress, and"
Canal Commissioner during the administration of

possessed a high order of intellect, was simple and
unostentatious in his- manners, a true friend, and
kind-hearted and generous to a fault.----Beaver, Pa.
