GEORGE SANDERSOMEDITOR
Lancaster, October 30, 1.849.
PROSPECTUS
For publishing in the City of Lancaster in connexion
with the Intelligencer, a German Democratic! paper,
to be called the LAI/CASTER 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, a's soon as a sufficient number
of suliscribers can be obtained to warrant the un-i
dertaking.
The paper shall be conducted on strictly Demo
cr_atic 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, arid nothing'shall be omitted
on our part to make it a useful family and political
journal.
Should a sufficient numbeyf subscribers be ob
tained, the publication of the', paper will be com
menced about the Ist of January next.
The "EAGLE" will be printed on a medium sheet,
and furnished to subscribeis at the low price of
$l,OO per annum.Lpayable in advance, or before
the expiration of six months from the time of sub
scribing. GEO. SANDERSON.

Congressional Globe A. Appendix.
We are indebted to the politeness of JOHN C.
RIVES, Esq.c , of the firm of "Blair & Rives," for a
handsomely bound volume of the Congressional
Globe and .9ppendix—the first containing sketches
of the debates and proceedings of the last session
of Congress; and the latter the revised speeches of
members in both branches, with the President's
Message and accompanying doeum - ents—the•whole
forming a large book of over 1000 quarto pages,
highly useful for reference, and making a vatirable
addition to a Library.
The publication of the Congressional Globe and
Appendix will be continued at the next session of
Congress, by Mr. Rives, who has become sole pro
prietor of the printing establishment. The subscrip
tion price, for the session, will be $3 fur each
publication; and as it will be the long session, each

the Globe office, viz:
The DATLY GLOBE (daily during the session of Con

of S 4 cents per month.
The WEEKLY GLOBE, per annum,
Editorial State Convention
The Harrisburg Union publishes a list of the
names of about forty Editors of Pennsylvania, who
have signified their intention of being present at the
Editorial State Convention, to. be held in Harrisburg,
on Thursday, Bth of November, in accordance with
a resolution adopted by the Editors of the 17th Con
gressional District. The purpose of this Conven
tion is to urge upon the next CongreSs a change in
the present postage system, and to adapt such re
forms as will operate beneficially to the interests of
the country press.
Eagle Line Company
We learn from the Lancasierian that this Com
pany has increased the fare on the Fast Line, to
Philadelphia, to 52,50. Why is this? What good
reason can they give to satisfy the public that it
is not an unwarranted extortion? If nothing, can
be done by the Canal Board to remedy the evil, we
hope the Legislature will take the matter in hand,
and apply the proper corrective. We have always
deprecated these overgrown monopolies, whether in
business or railroad travelling, and we thihk the
time has arrived when a barrier should be interposed
by the proper authority, to prevent their encroach
ments on the rights of the people.
A Ruined Country
While the legislative peculators, calling them
selves " protectionists," says the Washington Union,
are contriving to figure out the conclusion that the
country has been ruined by the tariff of I 546, the
Banks of Boston have contrived to figure a consid
erable amount of cash into the pockets of their
stockholders. It appears by the last statement of
the semi-annual dividends, that of the 27 Banks of
that City, 2 have divided among their stockholders
5 per cent.; 2, 43 per cent.; and 9, 33- per cent. The
average is but a small fraction less than 4 per cent.
And all this business has been done and thismoney
made, while the masquerade noblemen at Newport,
R. 1., and the " high tariff" politicians of Pennsyl
vania, dressed in French broadcloth, French boots,
and French gloves, have been clamoring for the
interests of labor, and manufacturing ruin for the
country. But, in spite of the scheming and selfish
devices of the fictitious nobility, the country has
never been more prosperous than it is now, and the
people are well satisfied with things as they are, if
we may judge from the result of the recent elec
tions in Pennsylvania and other States of the Union.
Benefits of Life Insurance.
It is stated that Mr. George Hill, popularly
known as "Yankee Hill," effected a life insurance
with the Connecticut Mutual Life Insurance Corn
pany, in the sum of $5OOO. in January last. He
died at Saratoga Springs, about the middle of Sep
tember just past. His widow, Mrs. Hill, presenthd
the ordinary proofs of death required in such cases,
on the sth of the present month; and on the 17th
she received a bank check of $5OO, by the hand of
the Secretary, Grey R. Phelps, Esq., with an order to
draw for the remaining $4300, in whole or in part
at sight.
We are happy to find that the important subject
of Life Insurance is now being presented to our cit
izens, by Mr. E. B: JACKSON, of Philadelphia, whose
effort has excited a considerable degree of interest
in our city, which must be attended with the most
beneficial results, We cordially commend the
subject to the consideration of our readers.
irr The National Education Convention, after
two days session in Philadelphia, adjourned on
Friday week, to meet again in the same city, in
August next.
State Educational Convention.
A meeting of the Delegates from Pennsylvania
to -the National Common . School Convention, was
held in Philadelphia, after the latter body had ad
journed, for the purpose of taking measures to
convene a State Convention of the friends of educa
tion. THOMAS H. Bonnowss, Esq., of this city,
was appointed Chm'n, and CHARLES LEIB, Esq, of
Schuylkill county, Secretary. After a free inter
change of opinion, it was resolved s to hold a Con
vention of the friends of Education at Harrisburg,
'on the 3d Wednesday of January next. The fol
lowing named gentlemen, viz: A. E. Wright and
Edward C. Biddle, of Philadelphia; Benjamin Ban
nan, of Schuylkill ; John S. Richards, of Berk* C.
R. Kessler, of Lehigh; T. H. Burrowes, of Lances
ter; and Charles Leib, of Schuylkill, were appointed
a committee to make the necessary arrangements.
Democrats S., Support your Presses.
The late Democratic . victory in Georgia was
achieved after a warm and energetic canvass.
Reader! whodid the hard work? 'Who toiled
and labored for the support of its political truths?
Who were the most efficient anituntiring advocates
of the cause of Democracy and its candidates? and
by whose energies and unflinching exertions was
the glorious result achieved? Who but theeditors
—the ha'id working, untiring, sleeplessly vigilant
editors of the Democratic press? It is well known
to all that there was no stump speaking, this year
—there was nd - political discussions, and all the
leading politicians have had a comparatively easy
time of it.
Remember then, Democrats, in the hour of your
triumph and exultation, the services of the news
paper press--remember to whom it is you owe, in
a large measure, the victory that has been won,
and remember that it is your true policy and your
duty as good Democrats to, sustain those who sus
tain your cause.
Every Democrat in Georgia, who can afford it,
should take at least one Democratic paper. The
interests of the press he should take warmly to
heart, and should promote its welfare by his own .
subscriptions, promptly paid—by his influence and
his exertions among his friends and neighbors. It
is this sort of support that makes a party press, in
return, efficient and energetic, and stimulates it to
renewed exertions.—Augusta Constitutionalist.
The above is sound doctrine—every word of it
—and we hope every Derhocrat in the City and
County of Lancaster will read the article carefully,
and then do their duty in the premises. If it applies
'to Georgia, it applies with still.. greater force here.
— Where there are hundreds—nay thousands of Dem
ocrats who do not take a Democratic paper. This
ought not to be so, and we hope that our party
friends, throughout the length and breadth. of the
county, will feel it to be their first duty, (if they
wish to see their principles advocated with zeal
and energy,) in advertising, jobbing, and subscrip•
tion. to support the Democratic papers. As a
further inducement to do so, they will recollect that,
inasmuch as this is a strong Whig county, very
little patronage frcm the public offices can be ex
pected for a Democratic establishment—consequent
ly we are thrown for support almost entirely upon
our subscribers, and the advertising and jobbing
they may see proper to award us.
Will our Democratic readers think of these
Hope Deferred.
The Eramini , r is reluctantly compelled to ac
knowledge a Whig defeat this fall; but consoles itself
with the prediction. that next year, when members
of Congress are to be elected, the people intend to
show their high tariff predilections by returning
Whig members to the National Legislature ! Now,
this is rich—decidedly so, on the part of our neigh
bor—particularly after the untiring efforts of the
Whig press, during the whole of the late campaign,
to make the tariff question the great issue to be de
cided in the election of Canal. Commissioner and
members of the State Legislature. The attempt
of the Examiner and other Whig prints, now that
the election resulted so disastrously for them, to
break the force of the blow by flattering their whig
readers with the idea of carrying at the next elec
tion, a year hence, "three-fourths of the Congres
sional delegation," is easily understood. They
know full well, or, at least, have every reason to
believe, that Pennsylvania is irretrievably lost to
the Administration, and that they have less chance
of carrying three-fourths, or even a bare majority of
the Congressional delegation, next fall, than they
had this year of electing the Canal Commissioner,
and a majority of members to the State Legislature
—and the returns of the election indicate that their
chance was very slim indeed. In other words, they
know, and if they spoke candidly would say so,
that, in all human probability, the majority they
talk about in the Congressional delegation, at the
election of 1550, will be reversed, and that, instead
of carrying sixteen (two-thirds) members, they
will have to be well satisfied with half of that
number. This the knowing ones among our poli
tical opponents are well convinced of—but, then,
it would not do to tell their followers so, fearful of
the killing effect such doleful intelligence would
have upon their minds, disheartened as they are by
their recent overwhelming defeat.
The Examiner, we think, will have an up hill
business of it to make the people of Lancaster
county believe that the tariff of 18.16 was not sus
tained by the freemen of Pennsylvania, at the late
election. Its hopes will be deferred, and its predic
tions will in the end demonstrate that our neighbor
is "neither a prophet nor yet the son of a prophet.'
Things to be Remembered
The Philadelphia correspondent of the Washing.
ton Union says:—"One thing, in connexion with
our Ate State election, deserves to be mentioned.
It is the tact that both the federal and the State
administrations were combined against the people,
and that State and federal officers staked their fate
on the result. Mr. Meredith openly told his friends
that, unless Pennsylvania elected Mr. Fuller. he, as
Secretary of the Treasury, could not. with any
show of reason or grace, :recommend a modifica
tion of the tariff. The question of protection,
therefore, was made the leading issue, and the result
was an overwhelming, Waterloo defeat, from which
the ultras or antediluvians will not soon, if ever,
recover. Protection. which is merely a misnomer
(being, in fact, a tax on the Many to favor the fete)
is bound to descend, with the United States Bank,
to the tomb of lie Capulets. The Whigs them
selves will now (as they always do, post factum)
study the question; and I would Willingly stake
my reputation that, before the lapse of ten years,
MaSSachusetts. herself will be in favor of free trade!
It is the law of nature and of commerce, which,
when once understood, forces the assent of the
mind to its truth in spite' of penny pamphleteers
and iron-masters. No party will ever be got up
successfully against Euclid, though it might be the
interest of Ihetland-owners to represent the area of
a triangle equal to that of a rectangle of the same
basis and altitude. It is a fortunate thing for the
Democratic party that, in spite of all the combina
tions of monopolists, it has truth and justice in its
favor. It is these that make it the national party,
in contradistinction to that which looks upon the
people and the country as distinct from itself—the
mere means of increasing private fortunes and pro
moting exclusiveinterests."
A Lucky Escape.
The French Government, it appears, have disa
vowed the action of M. Poussin. They were prob
ably glad of the opportunity furnished them by the
blundering course of our Government, to get rid 01 a
public functionary who is an ultra Democrat, and of
course not the kind of man to suit the ulterior,
aristocratic views of LOUIS NAPOLEON.
The Pennsylvanian, speaking of the disavowal
made by the French Government, has the following:
—"But the thing is over, and we, too, congratulate
Mr. CLAYTON. ‘ A fool for luck' is a good-adage,
a,nd a rough one. He blundered into the difficulty
with POUSSIN, and when he got into it, all his
efforts to get out only made his mistakes and his
indiscretions more palpable. He is to be congrat-
ulated that a lucky accident has released him from
a dilemma from which he has reaped nothing but
derision and contempt. We profoundly congratu
late Mr. CLAYTON upon his escape."
"THE REPUBLIC" is the title of a thorough-going
Democratic journal recently started in the city of
New York, by E. P. Wrratents. It bids fair to be
a powerful organ of the united Democracy of the
Empire City, and, as such, we wish it abundant
success. Such a paper was greatly needed in that
quarter.
Louisiana.
The election for Governor, Legislature, and mem
bers of Congress, will take place in Louisiana, on
Monday next, the sth proximo. We expect to
hear a good account from our Democratic friends
in that quarter.
Degradation of State Sovereignty.
It was had enouqh,sAys the Richmond Enquirer,
in GoOmar Johnston ?f Pennsylvania to act as the
usher and 'whipper in' of Old Zack, and to scour
the State as a political 41ectioneerer, an intemperate
and violent partizln--hut the "heroic age" is mar
ked by a still more disgraceful act, viz: this same
Governor at Washington, as a peddling office-broker,
to turn out Democrats and put in his cjeatnres.
RCM's another "gloridus fruit" of the blessed no
partyism. A writer ip thPUnion lashes the mock
governor as he dhserv—and reflects the sentiments
of all who have any itegard for the dignity of a
sovereign State:—
If there be anything more strongly calculated
to degrade the States, and bring their sovereignties
at the foot of the federal government, than the
governors of those States leaving their jurisdictions
and.waiting upon the (authorities; of Washington,
"cap in hand," to proc?re offices for their friends, I
have - yet to learn it. At this moment is presented
a spectacle which should .make every proud Penn
sylvanian `blush. Governor Johnston, the chief
magistrate of the. great, sovereign State of Penn
sylvania, leaving the capital of an almost imperial
domain, and electioneering for clerkships and small
offices! In other words, trading the influence with
which the gubernatorial office has invested him for
petty spoils; degrading the State of Franklin and
Robert Morris, by merging the highest officer of
Pennsylvania into the suppliant of federal power.
It the governor of one, of the southern States were
thus to act, he would quickly be impeached for
neglect of duty and degradation of office. But if
the people of Penhsylvania, if the people of this
great republic, shall have so far lost their State
pride as to permit their chiefs 'or governors to be
come beggars at the fideral palace, then I propose
that all State pride be at once relinquished, and
there be every year a Convention of the governors
of the States, to beg and fawn at the federal footstool.
Irr - Hun. Jas. Buctimor arrived in our Borough
on Saturday the 13th instant, en route for Meadville,
to visit his sister who resides there, and who was
lying ill. During his stay here—which was for
one dayhe was called upon by a large number
of the citizens of this dace and of the surrounding
country, who were anxious to see and take by the
hand the great statesman who has rendered his
country such signal services in civil stations. His
eloquence and logic, as exhibited in the Chamber
of the United States Senate, when successfully cop
ing with the most powerful champions of Federal
Whiggery—and he never coped with them in vain—
had long since endeare'd him to the Democracy of
the Union, and had established for him a fame of
the most enduring and substantial kind.. But that
which gives him the greatest claims to the grateful
remembrance of his countrymen, is the prominent
part assigned him—and which he performed so
ably and usefully—ini the eventful administration
of Mr. Pout.
Mr. BUCFIANAN, while in Butler, made a decidedly
favorable impression upon our citizens who, with
out respect to party, visited him.—Boiler Herald.
Interesting front the Camanclies.
We learn frOm the National Intelligencer that
intelligence has been received at the War Depart
ment respecting an ,important National Council
recently held by the Camanche Indians. This
council lasted ten days, and its object was to elect
a new chief to rule tle nation, (in place of the one
recently deceased,) and the individual thus honored
glories in the name of Buffalo Hump. On being
installed into office, after the Indian fashion, this
head chief called uphn his subordinates freely to
express their opinionS upon all matters of impor
tance connected with the affairs of the nation;
whereupon many speeches were delivered. They
were generally of the most friendly character, but
none more so than that delivered by the newly.
elected chief himself; He maintained that his
people had formerly Made war upon Texas when
it was "feeble and alclne," and had gained nothing;
and he gave it as his opinion that if they now con
tinued to make war tipon Texas, since it had be
come a part of the United States, the result would
be their utter destruction as a nation. He also
expressed his determination to do all in his power
to put a stop to the thieving depredations which
had been committed by a portion of his people
against the white inhabitants, and expressed a hope
that his efforts would be successful. The prominent
members of the Council having agreed to the ad
vice of Buffalo Hump, two subordinate chiefs were
appointed to communicate in person the result of
the Council to Captain Steele, of the 2d dragoons,
at Fredericksburg, by whom a report was made to
General Brooke, commanding in Texas, who for
warded it to the War Department.
What's hi the IVind, Now?
We learn that' CHARLES B. PEN ROSE, Esq., has
resigned his post as Assistant Secretary of the
Treasury, and that it . is his intention to resume the
practice of the law.: This is rather a strange
movement on the part of Mr. Penrose--and can,
perhaps, be satisfactoHly accounted for only on the
principle that "rats i'lesert a sinking vessel." He
is a shrewd politician, and as lie foresees a storm
ahead, when Congresh assembles, he thinks it advi
sable to make his escape in time.
M'CrairrocK. You:46, Esq., for many years Chief
Clerk in the Department, is to be his successor.
Foreign Affairs
The humane and manly stand taken , by the Sul
tan, in opposition to the insolent demand of Russia,
is full of interest to the whole civilized world, It
is a well known fact: that the Czar has for many
years cast a longing eye upon the more genial
climate of Turkey, avid has been seeking for some
pretext to throw his:Cossack hordes upon the fol
lowers of Mahomet. The demand made by the
Russian Minister for the surrender of the Hungarian
refugees, has been promptly refused by the Sublime
Porte ; and it is said . the Sultan will be sustained
in this attitude by France and England. If; there
fore, Nicholas shout& declare war against Turkey,
in consequence of this step, he will have to calcu
late upon meeting with a little more resistance
there than he encountered in the Hungarian cam
paign. John Bull is rather a hard customer, when
fairly aroused, and the Emperor of all the Russias
may not increase either his laurels or his territory
by such a war. Udder such circumstances, we
think Nicholas will be apt to pause for awhile and
not precipitate himself into a struggle with so small
a chance of honor or - profit as the result. To us,
however, it seems a doubtful question, and we must
look for each EurOpean arrival with increasing
anxiety until the issue of these difficulties shall be
known. The peace of the world is involved in this
matter.
The comrnencemetit of a war by Russia upon
such grounds of complaint, Will inevitably rekindle
the smouldering flamO, and light up all Europe with
the fires of another and more desperate struggle for
liberty. We believe . these convulsions must come
—and we know not 'whether to desire they should
be delayed. We rather incline to the wish that
they may come now', so that we may live to see
the earth purged of Tyrants, and our fellow men,
redeemed from thraldom, and secured in the enjoy
ments of those rightS which the great Ruler of all
destined for them. A few weeks must decide the
question for the present, and we must wait with
patience for the denouement of this great drama.—

Speakership of the House.
. The Star of the North (Columbia County,) re:
commends the Hon. J. N. CONYNGHAM, of Luzerne,
for Speaker of the House. The Easton Argus ar
dently advocates Hot:). ANDREW BEADMONT, of the
same county, for the same place. Either would
be an admirable seleCtion.
137 - Dn. JoxAs I\icCrawrocx, of Pittsburg, is
urged in Washingtm,Allegheny and other western
counties, for the Speakershili of the next House of
Representatives. The Dr. is a first-rate Democrat,
has talents of a high order, and would, doubtless,
make a most excellent presiding officer.
The Official Majority.
The official majority for Mr. GAxaLE estimating
Elk and'Forest counties at 127 the majonty of last
year, i 51. 2 5506 votes. This is truly a glorious
majority—but it would have been' several thousands
larger, had there been a full vote *died in the north
.
ern and-north-western counties of the State. It is
large enough, however, in all conscience, and ex
hibits a change of more than _-TWENTY-FIVE
THOUSAND votes since last year when General
Taylor carted the State by over thirteen thousand.
A - few more such triumphs for the Democracy, and
the Whig party would be defunct in the good old
Keystone State.

A Small Business.
The Department of State at Washington has
ordered the New York Herald off its files, in conse
quence of the exposure that paper is continually
making of Mr. Clayton's blunders in diplomacy!
This, says the Spirit of the Times,, is one of the sil
liest pieces of retaliation the Secretary could have
attempted, and it exposes the littleness of his mind,
more than any of the foolish acts he has yet per
petrated, as the head of our government on Foreign
Affairs The Herald, however, nothing daunted by
Mr. Clayton's meanness, thus plainly tells him that
" He requires good advice, and it shall be no fault
of ours if he do not get it. We shall send him the
Herald. He may take an appeal to Mr. Collamer ;
but he is bound to read the paper. The only 'ac
count' which we have to 'transmit,' is a very bad
account of his diplomacy. Let him settle it with
Nicaragua, and we shall give him a clean receipt.
Will he do it?"
In Search of a Wife
The Lowell Journal says:—Two or three years
.since a young merchant in the western part of New
York, having formed a high opinion of the lAvell
operatives, from the contributions of some of them
in the Offering, came on to the city in search of a
wife. As his purpose was made known to girls at
the several places which he visited, or for some
other reason, he was not very successtUl in the
object of his mission, and was compelled to return
home without a lady-love, It happened, however
not long since, that one of the young girls remarked
that "she wished she had known the object of so .
tine a gentleman's visit—that she would have had
hitn.' , Another immediately made known this
declaration to the gentleman—and; to come to the
point at once, he came on last week—took the
young girl to Rhode Island, or Connecticut, and
married her—having seen her but once before.
'They are very happy in each other's society, and
we hope will long enjoy the bliss of the wedded life.
Congress.
Congress will convene at Washington City in
live weeks from yesterday. The Washington Cor
respondent of the Baltimore Sun says, that " the
principal candidates named by the Democratic
members for the Speakership of the next House of
Representatives, is Mr. How ELL COB a, of Georgia;
Mr. Binny, of ra., and Mr. Born, of Kentucky.
Gen. McDownm., of Va., though decidedly more
acceptable to the Northern and 'Western democrats
than any other Southern man', or even any of their
own men, will not, it is said, consent to take the
position of Speaker, or account of his precarious
health."
If this be so, we are sorry for it—as we would
rather see Gen. McDowELL in the Chair than al
most any member that could be named.
Railway to the Pacific
A National Convention was held in St. Louis,
about two weeks ago, to take into consideration the
construction of a Railwayfrom that city to the Pa
cific ocean. Four hundred and sixty five delegates
Were in attendance, of whom three were from
Pennsylvania. A resolution was adopted that
Congress be memorialized to favor the immediate
commencement of the road, at a point west of the
organized States, to be continued to San Francisco.
The Convention adjourned to meet again in the city
of Philadelphia, on the first Monday of April next
A Whig Editor In Trouble.
The Wheeling Gazette states, that the editor of
the Fayette County (Pa.) Whig, has been arrested
or a charge of robbing the 'Uniontown Post Office,
and safely housed in the Pittsburg Jail, to await
his trial. The Courier says, that the charge of
being rogues in office is generally made against
Deniocrats—but here is a Whig leader in limbo for
roguery of the very highest grade.
Another Error Corrected.
A scording to the official vote published, it appears
that Mr. ALconri, one of the Democratic candidates,
is elected to the Legislature , from Beaver county.
This gives us 20 majority in the House, and 21
on joint ballot. Last year the House was a tie,
and the Senate had five of a Whig majority.
1:17"A fire occured in the Democratic Union Office
at Harrisburg, on Sunday morning last, by which
the newspaper and job materials were almost to
tally destroyed. The materials on which the State
Printing is done, being in another part of the build
ing, were saved. The steam engine and machine
presses were but partially injured.

The Europa arrived at Halifax on Tuesday last,
but brings no definite intelligence with regard to
the intention of the Emperor of RusSia. In anti
cipation of war, the Turkish government have col
lected a large fleet of steamers and vessels of war,
and at Constantinople there are 100,000 soldiers .
assembled, who are.' constantly being drilled from
morning to night.
Lord Palmerston has sent proper instructions to
Sir S. Channing, and has placed the Mediterranean
fleet at his disposal, which has, by this time, sailed
for the Dardanelles. It is believed also that a
French fleet will soon be sent to the same quartet•
From all which, it is evident that the Czar will
have his hands full if 4 commences a war with
Turkey for refusing to surrender the Hungarian
patriots.
• B_i'The Hon. JAMES BUCHAN4N arrived in
this city last night and took lodgings at the St.
Charles Hotel. Quite a number of our Democraic
eitizens, yesteday afternoon went down the river on
the steamer Lake Erie as far as Shousetown, where
they met the Michigan, having on board the distin
guished Ex-Secretary of State. Col. MCCANDLESS
was deputed to address Mn. BUCHANAN on behalf
of the committee. His speech was short, piquant
and eloquent. The reply of Mn. BUCHANAN was
dne of the happiest offhand efforts we ever listened
to, and went home to the hearts of all who heard
it. The speeches were received with enthusiastic
cheers. Byerly's unrivalled Brass Band discoursed
delightful music during the trip. Mr. BUCHANAN
- looks remarkably well, and is in the- enjoyment of
excellent health. He will remain in the city for a
few days, and will be happy to see our Democratic
fellow-citizens and others, without ceremony, at
his lodgings.—Pittslnirg Post of Saturday.
ANOTHER REVOLUTIONARY HERO GONE!—Con.
Tomes E. STANSBURY, of Maryland, died at his
residence near Baltimore, on Thursday last, at the
advanced age of nearly one hundred years! He had
been an active participant in the war of the Revolu
tion, as also in the war of 1812, and a leading and
active member of the Democratic partAince the
days of Thomas Jefferson. He always had great
personal popularity, and had filled many posts of
honor in his native State. He had for many years
been an acceptable member of the Meth . odist Church,
and was a Christian in the fullest acceptation of
the term.. Peace to his ashes!
Canal Commissioner.
Mn. SANDERSON :—Permit a Democrat of Lan
caster county, (through your invalable paper,) to
recommend to the favorable consideration of the
Democracy of Pennsylvania, the name of that firm
unflinching Democrat, JOHN L. LIGHTNER, of
this county, for the important office of Cinal Com
missioner. There are, and will be, many good men
and true, recommended to the next Democratic
Convention for that important station, but none
more so than Mr. LIORTNER. He is a gentleman
in every sense of the term, whose word on all occa
sions can be relied upon—an active, consistent and
radical Democrat, an upright citizen, and an honest
man, whose name would be a tower of strength
even in the Federal county of Lancaster, and would
command a larger vote than any Democrat within
our borders, particularly in the eastern section o
the county. His popularity is great, and he is iit
every respect qualified to fill that station with honor
to himself, to his party, and to the true interest o
the old Keystone State.
MR. EDlTOR:—Little do we know what a day
may bring forth, and Much less can we tell what a
year may bring to pass. In taking a general view
of causes and effects for the last year, we are almost
led to believe that Providence has been specially at
work in the minds of the people. But taking a
second view of the matter, we are led to believe
that the offspring of his creation have been exercis
ing the power guaranteed to them by his general
law of free agency, and particularly in the Union
have they been exercising the privileges guaranteed
to them by the Constitution of the United States
and the Constitution and laws of the several States.
One year ago the signs of the times indicated a
political change in our whole government; the party
known at the present day as the Whig party,
appeared to have grown into favor throughout the
country, so much so that they were able to elect
their President, and in most of the States a majority
of Congressmen and State Legislators, and in this
State a Whig Governor. We might ask what was
the cause of all this, and what is the cause of the
changes that appear to have taken place in the late
elections; for these changes are certainly visible
to every discerning man who keeps one eye open;
and pays any attention to what is passing. The
Whig party, watching as they always have been
for a favorable opportunity to gain power, and
seeing there was a little dissatisfaction existing in
the Democratic party, thought, by bringing an
entirely new man before the people for the Presi
dency, and hoisting such colors as would be most
popular, (whether they were the true colors of
the party or not,) they could gain their point. It
is needless for me to rehearse the promises that
were made, for every reading man is familiar with
them. After the election was past and the result
known, and those who had been favorable to the
election of Gen. TAYLOR were fully satisfied, and
rejoicing over the great victory, no matter how
much they had been opposed to the election of
Generals to the Presidency heretofore, all was quiet
and awaiting the inauguration, to see what manner
of men the President would call to his aid in the
shape of a Cabinet; for it had been loudly proclaimed
to the people that TAYLOR was not an ultra whi4,
and that he would select a Cabinet of the same
feelings with himself.
We would now ask every free thinker whether
such men were selected or not and, judging from
the late elections, we are compelled to think the
answer must be in the negative. Although the
whig journals aie laboring hard to make the people
believe to the contrary, I ask have they given any
reasonable cause for their late defeats. The only
reason I have heard them assign as yet is, that the
Whigs did not turn out at the election. We may
ask the cause of their staying back—they certainly
cannot say there were no efforts made on their part.
For meetings were pretty generally called through•
out the State, poles raised in conspicuous places,
(and some of them Hickory, at that.) The one
raised in this Borough had a board sticking to it
transversely about 50 feet from the ground; and on
that board was painted in handsome legible letters,
FULLER & REFORM ; and to prevent the Locofocos
from cutting it down, (using their own language,)
they drove some lbs. of nails into it. The pole
stood unmolested until after the election, and enough
of the returns had been received to sail* the com
munity that it had not bad the desired effect, and
some one thinking it would look quite as appropriate
to have it dressed in black; after wearing its suit of
black for one day only, it was brought to the
ground never to rise again. This was but one of
the weak efforts out of many that were used to
rally their force. Gov. JOHNSTON left- Harrisburg
and canvassed a part of the State in the great and
glorious cause, and some of those holding offices
within his gift took the stump and urged the free
men to be up and doing ; for if they could carry
the State of Pennsylvania it would be showing to
Governor ionsisroir and President TAYLOR that
the freemen of Pennsylvania were ready and willing
to endorse their administrations. Now, takin t
their own words for the answer of the question
before us, we can only say, in conclusion, that the
returns of the late election are just such an endorse.
ment as their administrations deserve.

A Course of Lectures on Anatomy
and ,Physiology.
IT is proposed to form a class in Lancaster for
instruction in the above named sciences. Im
portant as an acquaintance witlithe Human Organ
ization is to the professional man, it is not confined
to him alone; the Factor, Merchant, and Mechanic,
are' equally interested, and may pursue the study of
the Human Mechanism and its 'modus operandi,
with equal profit and pleasure. To aflord an op
portunity to all who may wish to avail themselves
of the advantages to lie derived from such a course
of Lectures, it has been proposed that if a class,
composed of not less than twenty-five gentlemen,
be raised, the services of a resident Physician and
experienced Lecturer may be obtained, whose duty
and pleasure it will be to carry the student back to
an investigation of the Primary Tissues, their Chem
ical constituants, &c., these blending together in
different proportions, constituting organs whose
united and harinonious functional operations impart
life and vigor to the entire mechanism. The
subjects of the Lectures will be illustrated by pre
parations and plates, in connection with the Auto
psia. Medical jurisprudence and Surgical Anaiomy
will be embraced in the course.
