GEORGE PmArr j No. 151 Nassau Street PROSPECTUS For publishing in the City of Lancaster, in connexion with the Intelligencer, a German Democratic paper, to be called the LANCASTER EAGLE. AT the urgent solicitation!-,of many Democratic friends, as well as from our own belief that a paper of the kind is greatly needed - in the County of Lan caster, and could be well sustained by our German population, we propose issuing a German paper with the above title, as soon as a sufficient number of subscribers can be obtained to warrant the un dertaking. The paper shall be conducted on strictly Demo cratic principles, and will advocate the men and measures of the party zealously and fearlessly. Strict attention will also be paid to the literary and-news departments, and nothing shall be omitted on our part to make it a useful family and political • journal. Should a sufficient number of subscribers be ob tained, the publication'of the paper will be com menced about the Ist of January next. The "Eislx!' will be printed on a medium sheet, and furnished to subscribers at the low price of \ l,, $l,OO per annum—payable in advance, or before the expiration of six months from the time of sub- GEO.

The election in Maine has resulted in favor o the Democrats, by a large majority. fig - Recollect, Democrats of Lancaster county that you must be assessed at least ten days before election, or have paid a State or County tax within two years: We trust that our friends will see to this matter in time. 11-Being obliged to employ a new carrier for the City, subscribers will confer a favor by leaving information at the office, if, on account of the change, their papers should be missed. Bl7On our first page, though somewhat late, we republish the able and eloquent Address, from the pen of Col. Jous W. FORNEY, read and adopted at the great Hungarian Meeting, held in the city of Philadelphia, a few weeks ago. Our readers will also find, on the same page, a rich and exquisite piece of Poetry, copied from the Lady's Book, entitled "The Bride of the Sun." Johnston's and Taylor's Jaunt. If a man has an object to attain, we like to see him approach its accomplishment in a straight forward, manly way, and not by deceptive means, under cover of which lie may burrow into his aim. For we are apt to believe, that no good can come out of, or be intended by an enterprise that dare not be avowed, and whose success is predicated upon the fulfilment of a fraud. Now every body knows that the jaunt of President TAYLOR, through the State of Pennsylvania, performed under the auspices of Governor Toßissroy, was devised and intended by the latter dignitary as a means to advance his own interests, by operating on the ap proaching election. He calculated that the pres ence of Gen. TAYLOR, would call together large masses of the people, out of curiosity to see a live President, in the person of one who had led our victorious armies in Mexico, and that thus, he would have an opportunity of operating upon those masses by playing of the jugglery of Federalism. Hence we see him thrust himself forward on all occasions, more prominently than the President— doing the shaking of hands for him—and . making his speeches, containing not the languags4f a no party President, but the views of unadulterated Whiggery. True it is, this scheme was cunningly managed, having its hideous front veiled from the public eye, and only communicated to the faithful, through whom its details were to be executed,— but, at the same time, it was abundantly apparent to all those who watched his Excellency's actions, and observed the care and anxiety with which he sought out the politicians. This fraudulent perver sion of the President's visit, is characteristic of the duplicity of Whiggery, which ever seeks to humbug the people into its support by specious appearances of innocent and praiseworthy conduct, whilst, at the same time, sinister aims are prosecuted. Here, the pretence was, Gen. TAYLOR'S desire to witness the resources and capacities of Pennsylvania, whilst the real object was the glorification of the Whig party, an exhibition of its strength, and the laying of plans by which its different and dissatisfied ele ments might be united and consolidated, so as to secure a majority in the next Legislature, to con summate the iniquitous designs of the Federal party. 117 - The Examiner, in reply to our inquiry of last week, claims that the present Federal party, of which it is an organ, is, par excellence, the true ex. ponent of the principles advocated by JEFFERSON and Menison, and , that in sentiment and principle the whigs of the present day are the identical fol lowers of those illustrious Democratic statesmen! Well, it this modest pretension does not cause a blush on the cheek of more than one Whig reader of the Examiner, then are we at a loss to know what shame is. The absurdity of the claim set up by the Examiner, for the Federal Whigs of the present day, is so glaring, that it would be a waste of time on our part to bring forward facts to prove its falsity. Every school boy knows that the mod em Whigs hate the principles of Jayrsasoir and 114DISON with the same intensity that they do those entertained by JACKSON and POLK, and that nothing would afford them greater gratification than to undo all that those eminent patriots did during the twenty-eight years they heldthe reins of government. 117 - We hope that, upon reflection, our neighbor of the Examiner will see the propriety of answer ing the very simple queries I we put to him two weeks ago. Surely, they can "easily enough be answered," and we do not think that our modest re quest can be construed into a want of courtesy towards the Editor of that paper. The subjects embraced in those queries are intimately connected with the Tariff question, and, of course, ought to have direct and unequivocal attention from one who professes such exclusive and disinterested friendship for the manufacturing interests. We again repeat our proposition, that we will give a direct answer to his interrogatory, whenever the same courtesy is extended to us. Is the Examiner satisfied,. -• El7 - Treatsny Notes outstanding on the Ist Sep tomb's., amount to - 4316,4N 31, Democracy and Federans ... u t zn There never was ar r; organization based pon pqrer and more correct principles, and ha • g in view the working oat of higher and nobler • s, then that of the Democratic party of this co try.

It has labored earnestly and devotedly to sustain, in their uncontaminated piirity, theinstd. tutions of the Country, and to thwart the maciina tiobs of those who are constantly toiling to peilvert their purposes, and build up thereon a system of', privilege and monopoly inconsistent with the intent and meaning of the Constitution. How far the Democratic party has succeeded in effectin its purposes, let the history of the Republic answr. With but one or. two exceptions, for short periods, thS Government has been administered by Demo crats, under whose guidance the experiment in free goiternment, at one time considered a doubtful i , problem, has been eminently successful. U der its fostering care the feeble beginnings of the .co ernMent have grown into magnitude and great esi so much so, that within a period of sixty,years, i stands unrivalled in power, resources, and influence among the nations of the earth. Step by step, thi Country has advanced en all the elements that con stitute a great and powerful people. Her cnf. merce, in extent and variety, is second to non Our merchants traffic, with every nation, and wh ter every sea with their peaceful canvass, returrn laddn with the rich fruits of every clime. u borders, under Democratic rule, have widened for ocean to ocean, embracing within their limit boundless resources, and -a field of glorious elite] prise well adapted to the geniuu and energies r our:, people, whose capacity for any undertakin daily enlarges with the opportunity it has for e: ercise. All these grand results are directly attr bt table-to the wisdom of the Democratic principle and its happy adaptation to meet all the wantsani wishes of a people, to mould their character ii such a shape as to train them up in the pursuit o worthy objects, and cause them to appreciate i ffit value of freedom, and improve it by sustainint their rights as men and as citizens. But, during all this long period of time, ih Democracy has had to struggle with, and o4e, power the ceaseless opposition of Federalism in its effort/ to withstand the advancement of the Cohn try. That party, true to its ancient instincts, has clung with pertinacity to its illiberal notions, and has vigorously labored to introduce into the legis latioh of the Country measures of restriction and monopoly, which experience has shown to be dan gerous in their tendency, and ruinous in their re sults. Had it not been for this senseless and un ceasing opposition of Federalism, both in time of ;war and peace, our Country vmuld, , ,doubtles3, have been Jar in advance of her present proud position. Ever} , thing that has been accomplished for the' good of the Country, has been the work iof, the Democratic party, in spite of the bitter and malignant opposition of Federalismt—and every thing that has been done to the injury and disgrice of the country, has been the handiwork of Federal ism. ' From the days of the elder ADAMS, and his infamous Alien and Sedition laws, down to the pre sent fraudulent dynasty, the Federal party has dis tinguished itself by its hostility to the welfare and honor of the Country—by its Hartford Conventions —by ,the declarations of many of its prominent leaders, who thought it a sin to rejoice over our victories—by its United States Bank, and Bankrupt laws—and by shamelessly espousing on all occa sions, the cause of our enemies, and doirig all in its power to embarrass, impede and dishonor the administration of the Government. Such are a few of the contrasts, between the two partieS which divide our population. And can any man, who loves his country and its institutions, and who rejoices in the manifold blessings that surround him as an American citizen, hesitate as to which of the two organizations he will attach himself? If, thousands who annually vote with the Federal party, would but consider and reflect, they could not help perceiving the disloyal conduct of the leaders of that party—that they have been untrue to their promises and pledges—and that the whole force of the party has been directed to wrong aims, and the accomplishment of factious and unpatriotic ob'ects. $1,300,000. Do the tax-payers know that the appropriation demanded by the Locofoco Canal Commissioners for the public works the present year, exceeds ONE MILLION THREE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS? The appropriations, published in the pamphlet laws, says the Harrisburg Telegraph, show this. Is this not sufficient evidence of prodi gality? The people 'should elect for Canal Com missioner, the candidate—Mr. Fuller—who is pled ged to reform. Ha will, if elected, be the People's Sentinel. He will let a Fuller light shine upon the mysterious affairs of the Canal Board, which will be controlled by two Locofoco members.—Lancas 'ter Union. The above is a fair specimen of the chicanery and deceit of the whig press. The Editor of the Uttiot has not the candor to tell his readers for what purposes this appropriation is asked. He does not ; state the fact that great and important improvements are in progress on the public works ; and that the "wind and weather" have both contri buted to injure these works during the past season. He only requests that "the .peOple should elect for Canal Commissioner the candidate—HENßY M. FULLER—Who is pledged to Reform." Reform! forsooth. Does the Union mean the "reform" which was perpetrated under the RITNER and STEVENS dynasty;'a ‘'reforai" which almost threatened the entire destruction of our good old Commonwealth. Or does it (the Union) mean that "reform" which is distinguishing the administration of JOHNSTON, viz : depreciated currency, a prostitution of Exe cutive dignity, and a dishonorable application of Executive patronage. —The public works were never conducted with more skill than at present In every department there is evinced a spirit of energy and industry which is worthy of all praise; and this effort, on the part of the Union to cast odium on the Canal Commissioners, will be signally unsuccessful. BERIES cOUNTL—The Democrats of this county have nominated the following ticket, which is said by the Press to be a very strong one : Senator, Henry A. Muhlenberg. House of Representatives, Daniel Zerry, William Shaffner, Alexander S. Fea ther, John C. Evans. Commissioner, Thomas Shaner. Treasurer, Adam Leize. The following gentlemenwere chosen Delegates to the next State Convention, with instructions to support Edward B. Hubley for Canal Commissioner—Joel Ritter, Lewis Frank, George Smith, Benjamin Tyson and Samuel Beard. Czsrms Corium—The Democrats of this county. have nominated the following ticket. We know that it is composed of capable and popular gentle men: Senator, Dr. Samuel Strohecker ; Assembly, John B. Meek; Commissioner, David Jack; Trea surer, William Furry. Centre, with Lycoming, Clinton and Sullivan, form a Senatorial district CrarsurrELD Counx r.,—The Democrats of this County have nominated for the House, William J.

Foster, Esq., has been apiointed by the Zonal Commissioners, Chief Engineer of the North Branch Division. Mr. F. is a highly capable and experienced engineer, and is at present one of the principal engineers on the Pennsylvanla Rail rata Thor work is to Ira commenced immediately. The Champions of Monopoly. The Whig leaders in this country have always been the champions of Monopoly and Special Priv ilege. We have constant proofs of this fact. The last is the-moat familiar, it not the most. striking. When JoinirsToir ran for Governor, it was announ ced theft:La new bank should be chartered, while all the old ones should be restricted and reformed. He Was chosen, and the result was, the infliction upon the people of a number of useless institutions, and the lavish creation of all degrees of chartered privileges. Just now, one of the most desirable objects of speculation is a charter • It enables the capitalist to multiply his credit, and it protects the dishonest man in the refusal to meet his honest engagements. Who desires to increase the already 'vast and overshadowing evil? All parties in this State are honestly opposed to such an increase, and though the Whig leaders are in favor of it, the Whig masses are not. In Hassr M. Fortin, the present Federal candidate for Canal Commissioner, you have one of the most ambitious and unscrupu lous of these liaders. Last year, in the House of Representatives at Harrisburg—of which he was a member—he was always ready to vote for a Bank or a Corporation of any kind. To such a 3. I man a special privilege is a sort of title of nobility i it distinguishing the rich from the mass of commu: e, nity. Hence his attachment to this loose and licen ie tious legislation. What has not Pennsylvania lost by . it How many of her citizens have been plun dered and prostrated by it! It is the system that g, has covered us 'with debt, and impoverished many m of our most enterprising citizens, It is the system . ig that now, as heretofore , robs the poor, and plunders u- the hard-working man, by a host of ingenious and mischievous devices. Recollect voters, this is the system of which Ftamsn, the Whig or Federal can didate for Canal Commissioner, is warmly and zealousl)'• the supporter.—Pennsylvarriati. California. u- We learn from the _Pcnnsy/vanian, that the gene e, ral election for members of the Convention to form id a Constitution, preparatory to the admission of in California into the Union as a State, and for officers of for the intermediary Government, was held on the le Ist of August, in accordance with the proclamation g of Gen. RILEY. All the letters, as well as the par tial returns received, indicate that California is e.sentially and overwhelmingly Democratic. Col. Jons W. GEARY, late of the First Pennsyl; vania Regiment in Mexico, and recently removed by Gen. TAYLOR from being Postmaster at San Francisco, to which post he had been appointed by President Por.x, has been unanimously elected First Alcalde of that city, an office combining the im portant duties of Mayor, and Judge of the Court of Common Pleas. This is a powerful rebuke to the present' proscriptive dynasty at Washington. The Democracy of N. Y. United. The Democratic Convention, representing the Barnburners, which assembled at Syracuse on the 12th inst., has accepted the proposal of the other Convention, representing the Old Hunkers, which met a few days previously at Rome, to form an union State ticket, to be composed of an equal number of candidates from each wing of the party. If the terms of the union are carried out in good faith by both branches of the party, of which we have but little doubt, then will the glorious flag of Democ racy again waive in triumph over the Empire State, and the doom of Federalism be sealed in this great Republic. TIIE CATTLE TRAIN.—The Lowell Courier states that the express cattle train came into that city on Wednesday morning with ONE RIINDRED AND NINE TEN cans. all loaded. Twenty two of these were for Lowell, and ninety seven went to Boston. It will be seen that the business of this train is on the increase. Eighty-two of the cars came off the Passumpstc road, and the greater portion of the balance came from the Northern; while fifty cattle cars from the Central went down the Fichburg road. We cut the above from an exchange paper, as an evidence of one kind of business done over the Railroads in the Eastern States. A train of 119 cars filled with fat cattle would be something new on the Philadelphia and Columbia railroad; yet we little doubt that as soon as the great Central Pennsylvania railroad is completed to Pittsburg, and thence on through Ohio, Indiana and other States, such trains will become very common. It will be found mum cheaper, and more advantageous in all respects, to bring cattle to market by this mode, than by driving them as at present— West Chester Republican. ll7Joris BARR, Esq., of Columbia, is recommen ded by a correspondent of the Pennsylvanian, for Canal Commissioner, in 1850. Mr. B. is one of the most highly respectable citizens of Lancaster county an active. business man, a thorough_ going Democrat, and would make a capital Canal Commissioner. Nothing would afford us more pleasure than his nomination for that important station by the next Democratic State Convention. We append the communication: CANAL COMMISSIONER. To the Editors of the Pennsylvanian: Allow me through the medium of your widely circulated Democratic journal, to present to the' Democracy of the "old Keystone," the name of John Barr, Esq, of Columbia, Lancaster Co. Pa., as our next candidate for Canal. Commissioner. Perhaps some may think it premature in bring : ing before the Democracy at this time, candidates to be voted for at so distant a day; but my object in so doing, is to give the friends of othor candi dates an opportunity of discussing the merits of their particular favorities, and to enable the party to settle a candidate that all can unite upon, so as to insure the success of Democratic men and mea sures. John Barr, Esq., is a Democrat in every sense of the word, which signifies much; and a man fully capable of discharging the duties of Canal Com missioner. He is extremely well known in the northern and western parts of the State, and could muster a strong force in that section if Pennsylva nia. In his own immediate neighborhood it would be particularly gratifying to his friends to have him settled as the next Democratic candidate for Canal Commissioner. A DEMOCRAT. Columbia, Sept. 7, 1849. l)7 Patrick Collins the late defaulting Collector at Cincinnati, died in that city on the 28th ult. The above is a specimen of the relentless and hyena-like depravity of the opposition. This par agraph is going the rounds of the federal press; even in the face of a clear vindication of the char acter of Patrick Collins, who has been clearly proven to be no defaulter. But these gentlemen, who claim to be the embodiment of "decency," fol low their victim to the grave, and persecute even the inanimate dust. Shame! TERRIBLE MURDER IN VIRGINIA.—The Clarks burg, Va. Democrat reports a terrible murder in that vicinity on the 26th ult. It appears that while three men named Elder, Clark, and Atchison, were at work in a field, from some unexplained cause, the latter took a scythe and actually cut Elder's head off, with the exception of a small por tion of flesh which held the head to the body, and killing him instantly. Atchison then made an at tack on Clark, who succeeded in getting the scythe from him, but he seized a pitchfork and they had a hard struggle together, which ended in Clark getting off and Atchison being secured by some of the neighbors. Atchison then cut his own throat, and is not expected to live. He is in jail, and it is said that his conduct is ascribed to derangement. 113 - Mr. WALsa, in a recent letter from Paris, saYs "The Paris Court of Appeals has decided that the condition not to marry, attached to a legacy, is contrary:to the freedom of marriage, and must, therefore, be held as if not written." So it appears that the French Supreme Judges concur with the opinion of Judge Law's, which was reversed by the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania.—Nat. Int. Some one calls the time of squeezing girls' hands the palmy uuon of life, Climax .of Political Dishonesty. • Under this• caption, the Washington Micas of a recent date has the following able and truthful ai r t ide, to which we respectfully call the attention of all our-readers: The old federal party had some pretensions to . candor and respectability. They conceived bold designs, and carried them oat with an energy of purpose, which, while it provoked the diepleasure of the people, commanded theirrespect. Believing "man to be incapable of self:government," they, boldly avowed it, and sought, .by means of con-' struction, to remove power as far as possible (rot'', the masses. A man who obtained a subsistence by , the "sweat of his brow" could not find time, as they believed, by reading and reflection, to form such a judgment of public matters as to make him a safe depository for the political power of the country, and therefore none but the "rich and well born" were admitted into their theory of a government. It is well known that these were the sentiments of the "old federal party," and by them advocated in the conventiori — which formed ourpresent constitution. They entertained them honestly, and continued to do. so as long as there was a chance to engraft them in our present form of government. They failed, and patriotic still, as they conceived themselves, and indeed may have been, they immediately set to work to do indirectly what they had been unable to accomplish by other means. Here commenced that system of construction and implied powers deemed by them necessary to divide the people into two classes—the poor from the rich—the "high born" from the low born—the few from the many—the governors from the governed. Whatever may have been originally the real sentiments of this party, and bow long, if honest in them, they continued so, is not material to inquire. One thing is evident:' they have been constantly degenerating, until now they have become so utterly unprincipled and dis honest, that they have forfeited, beyond redemption. the respect of the democratic party, and disgusted even a large number of their own upright partisans. We verily believe that the present so-called "whig," but "federal party" will, after the lapse of this octagon administration, sink into such utter nothing ness, that it will not serve the useful purpose, "eo nomine," if at all, for many years, of restraining the excesses of the dominant party, should it be dis posed to go to any. How utterly degraded must that party have become, when it ceases even to be a check upon its opponents in power! when it has ceased to answer the salutary purpose of an op position party in a free country! In the contest with Jefferson the federal party was open, reckless, bold, daring, manly. They fought for the government of the country upon the strength of their political tenets. They were beaten; and ever since they have been changing names and abating their platforrit of principles in some wise or other, hoping to gull the people into a belief of their infallibility. In 1840 they "stoop ed to conquer;" they rolled up their shirt sleeves, and out-democrated the democrats; they employed coon-skins, cider, gourds, log-cabins, and humbugs generally, in order to make the people believe that they were not that same "old federal party" which had ever derided their intelligence and capacity for self-government. One short month dissolved the charm and unmasked the "club footed " gentleman to the heart's content of the nation. Who will ever forget the "extra session" at which the master spirit of Henry Clay ruled triumphant, and evolved that batch of "federal" measures which, in - part,. was arrested by an act of Providence, until the democratic party proper regained the ascendency and made all glorious? Who can ever forget the incidents of the Harrison campaign, the conceal ments, the non-committalisms, the duplicities, the falsehoods, the tricks, the Janus-faces, and all the expedients put in requisition by an unscrupulous and wicked toe to cheat the people? Though cheated in 1840, the people rectified the error in 1844. The glorious events which follow ed this triumph of the popular cause, among other things, made prominent in the ranks of the army a soldier: from a mere colonel, by democratic policy, he becomes a general. This relict of the old federal party thought the chance a good one to profit by the popular cause, so that, notwithstanding they had opposed the Mexican war, and were reeking with "treason," they selected as their candi- date General Taylor, a man who had earned all his reputation in that war. Here commenced fraud surpassing all other frauds—the most wicked, 'atrocious, and vile that was ever perpetrated in this country, not excepting the famous "bargain" be tween •Messrs. Clay and Adams. The Harrison campaign, with all its disgusting and foul enormi- ties, dwindles into insignificance compared with it. General Harrison was taken up by the party of that day, put in charge of a committee, and run into the presidential chair with a shout and hurra. He was the acknowledged candidate of the whigs on all hands. He never said that he would as soon accept the nomination at Baltimore as at Philadel phia. He never said that he was not an "ultra whig." " Proscription was to be proscribed;" but he never bound himself with the hundred pledges of General Taylor. In truth, all expected an ultra "federal" administration from General Harrison. I Not so with General Taylor. He had bound himself to a moderate administration of the gov ernment—to political toleration of all sorts; and this notwithstanding his nomination by the anti. democrats. What has he done? Look to his cabinet; look at the sweeping proscriptions they have practised! In all parts of the country demo crats have fallen by scores before this ruthless scourge. Instead of moderating party feeling, it is destined to run higher and stronger than ever. The Republic (Gen. Taylor's organ) is daily occu pied in penning the grossest slanders against the democratic party. It is going back into. all the filthy sewers of times past, to bedeck itself in a manner suitable to the taste of its employers.— From all this it is evident that neither General Taylor nor the whip, party meant what they said before the election, and that therefore a fraud blacker than any heretofore has been perpetrated . before the eyes of the people, which they should indignantly reprobate. Whig Opinions of the Cabinet. As we are accused of prejudice and injustice in our estimate of General Taylor's Cabinet, we shall occasionally refresh our whig friends who com plain of us so strongly, with the opinions of some of their own presses. We commend to the espe cial notice of the organ whose business it is to de. fend the powers that be, the editor of the New York Herald, who disputes with the Mirror Man, the high honor of having first brought forward the .Second Washington" for the post he now encum bers. Mr. Bennett indulges in the most withering denunciations of the whole Cabinet, particularly of Ewing whom he pronounces "A RABID, MALIGNANT, INTOLERANT, UNSCRUPULOUS PARTIZAN, who seems bent on pursuing the same reckless and savage course as his prototype in France, (Ledru Rollin) by which the fortunes of republicanism have been jeopardized, perhaps beyond hope." Remember this is ware, Taylor Whig denunciation, not Loco loco—but let us go a little further.—Ba/t. .4rgus. • - ll7'"Already." says the Herald, "we behold under this administration, an amount of corruption, favor itism; and partizanship, which has at once astoun ded and shocked all honest men in the community. Scarcely a single pledge is there of General Taylor that has not been violated by the Cabinet, which is last destroying his reputation, and blasting his fame. Is all this to last? The only hope left us is in the President himseLf.". 4 :ll To which the Louisville Democrat very justly adds: "And that, we can assure the Herald, is a forlorn `hope. Your 'Ephraim is joined to his idols..let him alone.' The Rubicon is passed. The deed is done. The confidence of the people has been shamefully betrayed. Can the Ethiopian wash himself to whiteness, or the leopard remove his spots? No more can the Taylor administration get rid of the universal, deep, and lasting odium which it has brought upon itself. "But let not the Herald 'despair of ever seeing an honest and patri otic administration in the government' 'Be of good cheer, friend Bennett. The Dements are coating in iii 62." TOWN FACTS AND FANCIES. Tex New Lasicasras Paisorr.--In our recent trip to Lancaster, says the editor of the Pennsyl tuiniait,-we paid a visit Act the New PriectO, Which has progressed so rapidly, since we last saw it, as to''afford a good idea of what it will be when fin ished • and anything more striking and beautiful we cannot imagine. The Cornmanding situation on which it has been placed; (a hill overlooking the 'whole country,) the massive yet varied and picturesque grouping of its towers, all combine to make it one of the most imposing and beautiful structures we have ever beheld, and conveyed to our mind the most vivid idea of a feudal stronghold in all its pristine grandeur. The front has a length of 200 feet, flanked at either extreme by octagonal towers ornamented by crenulated 'battlements and cruciform embrasures. - In the centre of this front is a group of four large towers, two circular and two round, from the centre of which rises the keep of many sides, and ascending to the height of one hundred feet; above which, but connected with it, rises a graceful stair tower to the height of ten feet, making the whole altitude one hundred and ten feet; from the top of this tower, the view obtained will be unsurpassed by any in the Union, Comman ding the valley of Lancaster—unequalled in rich ness, and four or five adjoining counties, through which the Susquehanna rolls its majestic course' towards the sea. But the most pleasing feature in the whole structure is the entrance; placed between two massive circular towers before mentioned, is the entrance gateway, with a richly decorated arch, supported upon columns, and overhung by heavy machiolations ; through this gateway rises a pon derous portcullis, giving entrance into the interior of the building ; the whole forming a fitting ap proach to such a pile. Of the interior plan, we have not time at present to speak, nor is it neces sary. The arrangement is that of HAVILAND'S Radiator blocks, which have a world-wide reputa tion, and in the interior, all that the experience or ingenuity of the artist could suggest has been em bodied. We have always heard that in interior arrangements Mr. H. was unequalled, but, in this case, he has shown that his Ate fully equals his powers of combination. Of this, the material of which the building'is constructed affords a remark able evidence; it is a beautiful light salmon colored sand-stone, first discovered and used by Mr. HAvz- LAND in the Reading Prison, and since then in the new Pennsylvania Lunatic Hospital, now erecting at Harrisburg. We cannot imagine a more beau flint material, and we hope to see it used in our new County buildings, affording as it does another proof of the inexhaustible riches of our State in all that is most useful, as well as ornamental. Mr. H. has succeeded in finding the same material in the three counties of Berke, Lancaster and Lebanon. In conclusion, we - were well pleased to see old Lancaster, so well known for her wealth, adding to it a reputation for taste; and when she builds herself a court-houie of the same beatiful stone, she will no longer have occasion to blush for her public buildings. 117" The City of Lancaster is going ahead with a " perfect rush." A large number of new and substantial brick buildings have been erected the present season, and still more of the same kind are going up! Strong inducements are held out to strangers to make this their place of residence.— Business of every kind is unusually brisk. Two Cotton Factories are now in operation, employing several hundred operatives, and the third one is nearly ready for the roof. Another inducement held out to strangers, is the facility of acquiring an education for their children. The Common Schools are in excellent condition, and there are also several private schools in successful operation. Franklin College is about taking a fresh start; an effort is being made, which no doubt will be successful, to raise funds for the purpose of erecting additional buildings, and, by the endowment of new professor ships, to make it an institution of learning worthy the honored name it bears. Add to all this, and much more that might be adduced, the immense wealth and resources of Lancaster county, and we hazard nothing in pre dicting for our inland city a long career of prosper ity, and a rapid increase of Population. "Secure the shadow ere the substance fails," is one of the best advices which has ever been given to society. It is always a source of pleasure to pos sess a presentment of our relatives and friends; and in atter years, when, perhaps, death has removed thd dearest of the one, or thinned the ranks of the other a miniature or picture likeness calls up sweet recollections of both. We know of no one, we may observe, who is better able to supply his friends with a good miniature, titan our friend JOHNSTON. There is something really beautiful in all his pro ductions. His pictures are drawn with such a life. like resemblance, and their general contour so fin ished in an artistical point, that he is now re garded as the daguerreotypist of the city. An old lady friend of ours, remarking- upon his pic tures a few days since, exclaimed : "La, me, he not only took my nose, eyes, and mouth; but he took the pimple on my chin, that used to bother my-poor dead and gone husband, when he courted me." Give JOHNSTON a call, and our word for it, you will be pleased. GOREY'S LADY'S BOOK for October is already on our table.

DEDICATION.—The new church on Water street, built by the Evangelical Association, will be dedi cated to the service of Almighty God, on Sunday, the 23d inst. All the friends of religion are res• pectfully invited to attend. Fitta.—A burden car, laden with valuable goods, was destroyed, with its contents, on the night of the 9th instant, near Mountville, six miles west of this city. GENERAL TAYLOR, ALMOST SACRIFICED.—Gen. Taylor returns to Washington a shadow of his former self. From the moment when he entered Pennsylvania, he seemed to have been infected with bad company. Johnson embraced him at York. Stevens at Lancaster; Hither at Carlisle; John Denny at Chambersburg; Harmer Denny at Bed ford; George Darsie, at Pittsburgh; and Charles M. Reed at Erie. Even the disinterested attentions of the Democracy could not wholly dissipate the fatal vapors arising from such pestilential associa tions, and when he escaped into New York, the only way to keep off death was to repel the Whig leaders. He is finally landed at Washington more dead than alive, fully satisfied, no doubt, of the dan ger he has escaped by mixing in bad company. The same evil influences killed General Harrison. In the same period of time that sufficed to send the aged and infirm Hero of the Thames to his grave, we have seen the hale hearty Hero of Buena Vista enfeebled and broken as if by the hand of the pestilence itself. We trust the latter may live throughout his term; and that before he retires he may make one bold effort to redeem his memory from the imputations of the bold bad men who would "lead him to his ruin, in order that their schemes may be carried into effect against the oewatry.--,Ponosidesniam EDITORIAL NOTINGS.

But when General Taylor hears that whole settlements are broken up in Florida by the incursions of the Indians, and when the borders of Texas are desolated by the bloodthirsty Camanches, instead of rushing to their rescue or providing adequate means for their defence, the "Second Washington" immediately starts on a'plea. sure excursion through the principal States of the Union, making himself ridiculous by uttering silly speeches, and bringing contempt upon the high office which he holds.—New .tlibany Democrat. 4 1:13 - We often see notices of editors rising, but the fact is editors have risen long since to the top. Old Ben Franklin stands number one among Amer. ican worthies, and since his day editors don't set their craft down in,any second place in this country. Recently an editor in Europe stands forth the champion of republicanism, in the great contest of the age. We - allude to Kossuth, the. Hungarian chief. He was educated as a lawyer, but found the profession below his abilities, turned editor, and by his pen shook the throne of Austria. However great may be his success in his.present station, what he accomplished as editor of the "Perth Herlip" can never be eclipsed.

To Assxssous.—There was a law passed by the Legislature of 1848, requiring the assessors to assess all young men between the age of 21 and 22 years. The non fulfilment of the law does not ex clude such persons from voting, but is intended, we believe, to aid in securing the collection of taxes the following year. As such is the law, assessors should know it—Clarion Democrat. Err" Mr. Bancroft, the American minister, a London letter of August 24, says, will return to the United States in a few weeks.

It is one of, the most extensive pan oramic views ever presented to the public, while its scenic views blend novelty with beauty.

We advise our friends, when visiting the city, to visit this exhibition; for we assure them the sight will fully repay the trouble and expense. irrHon.

ID - A son of Hon. James Cooper, United States Senator, aged about 11 years, met with a distress. ing accident at Pottsville, on the 6th lnsL, on the Mt. Carbon Railroad, near the junction with the Reading Railroad. He was standing on the train of cars drawn by horses, and in attempting to jump from the cars, fell and they passed over him, severing one of his legs from his body. For the Intelli g ence, - Mn. EDITOIC—I am so wedded to reform, to the expressive word progress, that I would not let any thing escape my notice that tends to this great object. I observed in your paper some days since the advertisement of Messrs. TTNDAL & MITCHELL of Philadelphia, dealers in China, Glass, and Queens ware, in which they profess to have remodelled their business in such a mannei as to enable them to undersell any house doing business on the old system. I availed myself of a visit to the city to call and examine this principle for myself, and I found their arguments irrefutable. The common system of credit requires the dealer to set down five per cent. on the whole amount of his sales.— He must furnish to the country dealer an amount of staple articles xt legs than cost, which will make an additional loss of ten per cent.; all of which must be made up by additional profit on the finer qualities of wares. To the cash dealer there are no losses—and he has at once a clear advantage of fifteen per cent. deduction to offer from wholesale Market street rates. To this advantage Messrs. T. & M. have the most extensive variety to choose from, where all tastes can be pleased; and from the large amount of their sales they can afford to sell at very small profits. In illustration of these facts they offered me an entire China dinner set at $12,00, which under the old system would have cost $2400, and other articles in proportion. In a m word, it was made perfectly clear to y mind, and I feel glad to accord my testimony to the fact; and recommend them to the patronage of my fellow citizens of LAITCASTZIi Courrxr. FAST WoaK.—the Record says, the Shingle ma chine of Crosby P. Morton, exhibited lately at his mill at Mortonville, East Fallowfield, cut in five minutes, by water, 275 shingles—being at the rate of 3300 per hour • and by one horse power, 370 in five minutes - being 2 at the rate of 3200 per hour.
