Mu Editor: —I will be happy to have the use ot* a small space in your valuable paper, for the pur pose of presenting to the people of Pennsylvania the name of Col. William Bigler, of Clearfield county, for Governor, lhave not often seen among the leading men of any party, one for whom I could Jay aside my accustomed diffidence to take the po litical arena, before Col. Bigler. Party organiza tion and party discipline, can do but little towards achieving a glorious victory, unless men of probity, honor and integrity, are elevated to office. Corrup tion may for a time hold the ascendencyit may elevate corrupt men to office, but that terrible giant, public opinion, will arouse from its lethargy arid hurl into insignificance the impostors. Men may be blinded in the choice of their officers; they may be deceived in those in whom they repose confi dence; —yet, our institutions are such, that every man has theremedy in his own hands, and needs only to Bpply itdo correct the evil. In making party nominations, there is a great deal at stake. The character, the credit, and the very existence ol the party depends upon making good nominations. Here, in Pennsylvania, where the progressive spirit of the age demands that all the Democratic office holders should be of superior abilities and unflinching integrity, it becomes doubly necessary to have a vigilant eye to the character ami standing of the man the Democracy places in nom- ination for the principal office in the State. \\j~ TICKETS lor the Election are printed and With due deference to the opinions of others, and mu )y lor distribution.

Fov.dkey in connexion townships, boroughs and wards in the county, it ' with the above notice for the meeting of the County has only been able to enumerate nine in which the ! (;omniittee question was directly or indirectly raised—and one } of these, too, the East Ward of this City, where it j is notorious that such a procedure was aa-ver j dreamed of, until just at the close of the meeting when there were not a dozen of persons present who voted one way or the other. Mr. Editor, I like to seo fair play in politics as well as in everything else—and to ensure harmony and concord in sie party, it is essentially itecessaiy • that open, honorable and manly dealing should characterize all our actions. By the Laoeasterian's own showing there were delegates but from the cme-ff/th part of the county instructed on the subject of Governor. Of course, the inference-is legitimately drawn, that those who were not so instructed were sent without any reference whatever to that sub ject, at least so far as the people were concerned. The delegates from the jemaftiing thrrty-four dis tricts had a perfect right to express their indvidual preferences on ;be subject; but, 1 apprehend, they had no right to pledge their constituents to any particular candidate in the absence ol everything like instructions. Had the issue been fairly and openly made in every district, it may be that the general result would have been the same—but, in that event, no one could have with reason com -•'plained, and all woujd have cheerfully submitted 1 to the decision. The thirty-six gentlemen who protested may be called “discontent?” and the County Committee, under whose'call the Convention assembled, may be charged with “inconsistency' 1 and a “usurpation . of pcfjver,” in very properly, as many Democrats think, postponing the Gubernatorial question, with that of the Judiciary which is yet in abeyance, tr> a later period; but all this will not be sufficient Vo convince sensible men, unless they eon show that the delegates from more than one-fifth of the dis tricts were elected and instructed hy the people— not a city clique—with reference to that question. The supplanting of the County Committee, ap pointed in April last, after they had held the post but five months, is attempted to be justified on ac count of what the Lancasterian is pleased, to call “ tardiness” in assembling the County Convention. This, it is presumable, was an after thought entire ly, aal venture to affirm that such a silly attempt at justification would never have been made by the writer for "that paper had there been any thing of a more tangible character to rely upon as an ex cuse for the unprecedented act. An open insult was .given to the gentlemen composing the Com mtttee by overslaughing them, when no former Co. Committee ever held its appointment for less than a year, and the. one immediately preceding it held over for a period of twenty months! And now, in addition, the insult is aggravated two-fold, by char ging it with negligence of duty and ‘'tardiness” in its movements. Truly, in the estimation of the Lancasterian, a poor excuse ja better than none at Let the Democracy of the Gibraltar ot the Union ; only place Col. Biulkk in nomination, and they will have one about whom no schism can distract the party, or desertion render abortive our united ; efforts, and success is inevitable.

Mr. Hen nf Hoffman, of East Hempfield township, for a list of live new paying subscribers to the Intelli gencer, in his immediate neighborhood, and he in tends to procure several more! Mr. H. is the right kind of a Democrat, and ha 3 thus set a praise-wor thy example which many others throughout the county ought to tollo.v. Who will be the next to send in a similai list ‘ Don't all speak at once. the hurry of copying the original Protest read before the County Convention, it appears there were two oi three names accidentally omitted which were signed on the opposite page of the paper — amongst the rest that of Mr. Samuel Kellab, of Warwick township, who has called since our last issue and requested us to announce that he approved ; of and signed that and that he is desi | rous of having the fact known by the Democracy j of the County. A. Word ill Season, Fellow Democrats —But one week remains lor you to perfect your organization. On Tuesday next you will be expected to do your duty, by de- > positing your votes in the ballot boxes. Are you I all ready for the contest l Have your several j townships and boroughs been canvassed, and are j ! arrangements made to have all the voters—tlie ; young and the middle aged, the aged and infirm—j ,at "the polls? Have conveyances been provided j for those who are poor and who reside at a dis- \ l tance trom the place of holding the election? We j I hope all these arrangements have been made either by the Township Committees or by those of our t | friends who have the time and means at their dis- 1 | posal. If this has not yet been done in any of the districts—if a thorough organization has not yet been effected, we hope it will be done immediately, as there is not a moment to lose. Delay is at all | times dangerous; but more especially now, when j : hut six working days remain to accomplish the j ! work that is absolutely necessary to be done, if the j Democrats of Lancaster county will not be consid j ered derelict in duty. Important State Officers are i to be elected on Tuesday next, and the responsibil ity may rest upon the six thousand Democrats of tlus county of determining whether those officers shall be Democrats or Whigs. Fellow Democrats —We urge you to the faith ful and diligent discharge of your whole duty from now until the closing of the polls. Your principles are at stake—your candidates for State and County offices, have claims upon you—ami the Duty you owe to your common country 7 , requires that you should spare no pains, be lacking in no energy', in the discharge of this high obligation which it is incumbent upon you to discharge. Once more, then, Democrats, we urge you to the rescue. Give a long pull—a strong pull—and a pull altogether—and, our word for it, you will have abundant cause to rejoice at what your united efforts have accomplished in the glorious cause for which you do battle. & Governor Johnston* This political mountebank, says the Harrisburg Union, is now scheming to secure a majority in the State Legislature, favorable to his election to the U. S. Senate. A few days ago he made a political harangue to the "Whigs of Union county 7 , and in '"other quarters we notice that invitations have been extended to his Excellency for a like purpose.— What seems a little strange, and which confirms j our belief, is the fact that in these pilgrimages he monopolizes all the glory. He appears determined to head Cooper or die. j£7* Gov. Johnston was here, in Lancaster, on Friday last, and left lor Lebanon under charge of a very spirited escort of three gentlemen. He made a speech at a Whig meeting there on Saturday. ID* Col. William Bigler was here on Thurs day night last, being detained in consequence of the break in the Railroad, near Middletown. He left on Friday for his home in Clearfield, in fine health and spirits. The Equinoctial. We were visited with a succession oi heavy rains during the latter part of last week, accompanied with wind, thunder and lightning, which forcibly reminded us of the autumnal equinox. The streams in this vicinity were swollen considerably; but we have not heard of any damage resulting therefrom, except a small portion (about 30 feet,) of the Rail road, three miles east of Middletown, which was washed away, and which prevented the running of ( *he Cars from Thursday to Saturday. The weather has since been delightful. R e V- Edwim Hutteb entered upon his duties as Pastor Mathews Lutheran Church, in on Sunday week. • The Congressional Elections. The people of Lancaster county have to decide on Tuesday next, whether they will be represented in the next Congress by Thadpeus Stxtens or Dr. F. A. Muhlxvbxho. It is a highly important question presented for their decision, and upon the result depends the character of the county for many years to come. We speak not of its political char acter—for that is strongly and decidedly Whig, admitted to-be so all over the Union. But we allude to the bearing the result will have, in fixing the character of our citizens as a moral and order loving, patriotic community. If Mr. Stevens is elected, the charge of Aboli tionism and Disunionism —to say nothing of im morality—will be fixed upon us, and we shall be looked upon, throughout the whole extent of the Union, as a band of fanatics and madmen who would not hesitate to apply the torch to the Tem ple of Liberty itself, and bury the last hope of freedom beneath its ruins. In addition we will sanction the neglect of public business, the great injury the leading interests of our Commonwealth have sustained, and an utter recklessness of conse quences to our own interests, present aud pros pective. ' > On the other hand, if Dr. Muhlenberg is elect ed, we shall have a representative of whom every citizen of the county may be proud. We shall have a Congressman of irreproachable moral char acter—of high literary and scientific attainments — j of great respectability and influence, who would wield that influence in accordance with the feelings and wishes of his constituents. On the one hand, we have presented to us for our suffrages a comparative stranger, who is either unacquainted with the wishes of our people, or else purposely reckless in his conduct. Oil the other hand, we have a native citizen of the county, who is an ornament to his profession—a man uni versally beloved by all parties—of fine talents, and of great honesty and integrity of character, w’ho would do honor to his constituents in that or any other capacity. Choose ye between them. Upon you, fellow citizens of Lancaster eo;, rests the responsibility of the decision. We have discharged our duty in the premises. The County Commissioner This is an office ol great importance at the pres ent time, when the people are ground down by taxes for building the New Prison,’and other ex penses. We learn that the County Taxes of the present year exceed those of the last assessment a bout 50 per cent., a fact that ought to startle the tax-payers of Lancaster county, and induce them to change a state of things which will go on from bad to worse, if not speedily checked. Now, who are responsible lor these high taxes? Not the Dem ocrats, certainly, who have been excluded for many years from any participation-in the management of County affairs. When they had a voice in the Board some fifteen or twenty years ago, there was ; no such extravagant waste ofjhe public luiids.— | What, then, is the remedy t We answer a speedy ! return to the good olden times we have alluded to. j- Let there be at least one Democrat in the Board of i Commissioners, who will act aB a check upon his ; colleagues and protect the interests of the county. The Democratic candidate, Mr. William YVhite side, of Colerain, is a gentleman of intelligence and business, habits, in all respects well qualified to dis charge the duties and responsibilities of County Commissioner. He is opposed to extravagance in every shape and form, and would, if elected, advo ■ cate a reduction of the taxes, and carry out the wishes of the people generally. The people, therefore, without respect to party, support Mr. Whiteside. Unless they etiect a change in the Board, it Is idle for them to exjiect ■ a change of measures. They have the opportunity • afforded them now, if they will embrace it, by elect* j ing the Democratic candidate for Commissioner. ■ Will they do it ? We sincerely hope so. jyj- The Union & Tribute, of this City, is call ing with great earnestness upon the Whigs to arouse from their lethargy and come to the rescue. But it is like “ calling spirits from the vasty deep" —they wont come ! After the Galphin rascalities at Washington, by which the Treasury has been plundered of hundreds of thousands—after the frauds, deceits and humbugs practiced by the Whig leaders—alter the treasonable conduct of Thaddeus j Stevexs, who, by his violent abuse of the Southern j people, has done more to prejudice the interests of .Pennsylvania than any other ten men in Congress it is folly to suppose that the respectable and order loving Whigs of Lancaster county will again obey the mandates of the clique in this City who have heretofore managed matters for them. Mr. Stevens has no feeling in common with the great bo'dy of the people in Lancaster county—he never had any respect for the intelligence of the masses. He had himself foisted upon them two years ago, so that he might carry out his ulterior designs against the Union. He has always bean, as a politician, 1; a bold, bad man.'' His course in the Legislature, by which he came near embroiling the citizens of Pennsylvania in civil war—and his conduct since he took his seat in Congress, in fos tering discord and disunion, to the neglert of the important interests of his State, fully justify us in saying that he is one of the most dangerous men in the Commonwealth, and that he is the very last man the people should select as their representative. That he has talents of a high order, all will admit; but these only make him the more dangerous. Danton and Robespierre were also men of superior talents—but they were enemies to their race, and a curse to the people of France. The people of Lancaster county have, in the nomination of Dr? Frederick A. Muhlexrerg, an opportunity afforded them of redeeming the district from the obloquy that now rests upon it.— That many Whigs will throw off their party shack les and vote for this estimable gentleman, we have scarcely a doubt—that all ought to do so, is equally clear. Dr. M. is a native of this City—reared and educated among the people of the County—well acquainted with their wishes, and has the energy, ability and disposition to carry those wishes into effect. Should the people of Lancaster Co. elect him as their representative, his course in Congress would be such as to reflect credit upon himself and constituents, and go far to remove the stigma that Mr. S. has fastened upon them. The candidates are now fairly belore the public, and it is for each and every voter to decide at the ballot box, on Tuesday next, which of them he will choose. A Full Democratic Vote. The. following argument addressed by the veteran Strickland, of the West Chester Republican, to the Democrats of Chester county, will apply with much greater force to Lancaster county, where the Dem ocratic strength is nearly double * — We trust the Democrats of this county have not lightly regarded the arguments we addressed last week to the Committee of Vigilance, in favor of a full democratic vqte in this co., at the approaching election. They err greatly—they not only ftrong themselves, but fail to do their duty to the Democ racy of the State, if they permit the fact that Whig; gery has a majority in this county, to keep them away from the polls. This is a State election, at which democratic candidates for important State offices are to be elected or defeated; and their sue cess will be promoted just as much and as certainly by democratic votes in Chester, as in any other co.; and a Chester co. democrat, at home or not voting, tells just as effectually against our State candidates, and just as certainly brings defeat, as would similar conduct on the part of a Berks Democrat. A dem ocratic triumph in Pennsylvania, can only be secured by the votes of all the Democrats in all the counties , — a consideration which, we hope, will cause the Democrats of every district in Chester co., to have their full strength out on Tuesday, the Sth of Octo ber. • HU" Bucks county has appointed'one Senatorial and three Representative delegates to the State Convention, and instructed them for Col. William Naturalization Frauds. The whole community of Philadelphia are as tounded at the discovery made on Tuesday last, of the fraudulent issue of a number of naturalization papers, from the offiee of Xuces.Vistaiid, the Pro* thonotary of the Court oi Common Pleas, appointed a few months since by Governor Johnston to fill a vacancy occasioned by the death of the former incumbent » An examination was had before Judge Parsons' and it is not often that the records of any Court exhibit so complete and shameless a piece oi vil lany. The Prothonotary*—an officer who is sworn to support the laws of the State? and perform the duties of the office with fidelity—swears that one of the records of his office, the only one, too, which is of the most importance for guarding the rights of legal voters, “is not to be found —he saic it about lico weeks since;'' and that is all that he knows about it! and this man is the candidate of the Native American Whig party for the office lie now holds by appointment One of two things is cer tain. he has either sanctioned the gross outrage, or else he is culpably negligent in the discharge'oi his duties as a sworn officer. Other witnesses were examined, amongst the rest a Clerk in the Prothonotary’s office, aft ol whom made it more and more evident that a most villainous fraud had been perpetrated, perhaps to a much greater extent than there is any conception of, and that at least one of the Whig Deputies, a man named Barr, was deeply engaged in the nefa rious business. After a lull hearing, the Court ordered that J. Barr and James Stewart be bound over in the sum of $5OOO each, and the Prothonotary, Jas. Vinyard, and M. Devine, in the sum of $2OOO each. jjy Mr. Stevens, ol Lancaster, gave notice, last week, in Congress, that he should ask leave to bring in bills to alter and amend the revenue laws so as to afford reasonable protection and encourge ment to American labor; to abolish slavery in the Territory of Utah; to repeal so much of the acts establishing territorial governments in New Mexico and Utah, as recognizes slavery in said Territories und as pledges the nation to admit new slave States into the Union ; and to repeal and annul the fugitive slave law, passed September lBsu. Thus this reckless agitator, who was foiled in his attempt to overturn the constitution ol Penn sylvania, would undo all that has been done for the restoration of harmony among the States, and re peal the great peace measures over the passage of which the whole country is now rejoicing. He would put forward his enlarged philanthrophy as the motive for his unjustifiable conduct. His re gard lor “American labor' must be enormous, as it is indiscriminating; and his love of the institutions of our government, the people ol Pennsylvania have had evidence, is past finding out. We give the protectionists joy of their leader.' Their cause will be likely to flourish in his hands.— Keystone. The Cumberland District We learn from various sources that the Whigs of the Cumberland Congressional district are mak ing the most strenuous exertions to defeat the able and accomplished McLanahan. The old and stale cry of protection is brought to bear against him, and the minds of the unsuspecting are sought to be prejudiced by all manner of fabrications.and false hoods. It behooves our Democratic friends in that district to be up and doing—especially should the Democracy of Cumberland rouse themselves to the work. The district at best is a closely contested one, the Whig majority of Franklin being nearly equivalent to the Democratic majority of Perry— thus throwing the balance of power to Old Mother | Cumberland. Will the Democrats there do their 1 whole duty ' We hope they will. We urge them I to it by every consideration which can impel men I .to action. The eyes of the whole State are upon I that district. F.very where great solicitude is felt j for the result. Once more, then, we urge our fellow , Democrats ot Cumberland—with whom \ye have ! stood shoulder to shoulder in many a hard fought j battle —to do their whole duty to themselves, their j District, the State, and the Union, on Tuesday next. TBie Late President Taylor. The following communication was transmitted to Congress by .the President on Tuesday last: To the Senate and House of Representatives: Having been informed that it is the wish of the family and relatives of the late lamented President of the United States that his remains should be re moved to the State of Kentucky, and being desirous of manifesting the most sincere and profound res pect for the character of the deceased, in which I doubt not Congress will fully concur, I have felt it to be my duty to make known to you the wishes of the family, that you might, previous to your ad journment, adopt such proceedings and take such, order on the subject as in your wisdom may seem meet and proper on the occasion. MILLARD FILLMORE. An appropriation was made for the purpose con templated in the message. Cj 3 * The Jun ion Bachelors' Cotiliox Party, at the Mechanics' Institute, on Thursday night, is : represented as having been quite a brilliant affair, and highly creditable to the Managers and all who participated in it. Our neighbor of the Gazette? who was present, is in raptures with it, and says; We have gazed upon many a brilliant assemblage, but never upon one, which,'for the number of la dies present, combined so much real elegance and beauty.'’ Spangler is a judge of such matters, .and, as we were not there, although invited, we take his word for it, and doubt not the party was every thing he represents it to have been. Another Fire. —The barn of Mr. Henry Gray bill, on Livergood's place, about west ol this City, near the Columbia Turnpike, was destroy ed by fire on Wednesday evening last, together with the whole, of its contents. Several of the Fire Com panies of the City run out, and rendered efficient service in protecting the Mill and neighboring buil dings from injury. The fire is supposed to have been the work of an incendiary. The barn was in-, sured, but the contents will be a total loss to Mr. Graybill. 25* Prof. F. A. Muhlenberg, now of Franklin •College, Lancaster, has been elected Prolessor of Greek in Pennsylvania College, at Gettysburg.— Prof. Mcblenbero is a son of Dr. Muhlenberg, the Democratic candidate for Congress in this co. 27* The Fugitive Slave Bill has caused quite a stir among the Darkies. About CO have left Columbia, in this, county, for parts unknown —and we learn that several hundreds have taken their departure from Pittsburg, for the Canadas. The number is so great there, who have vamosed, that several of the principal Hotels are left without servants. 27*- A terrible accident occurred at New York on Saturday. As the American mail steamer Pa cific was leaving her wharf at Canal street, she struck a house on which a great crowd was assem bled to witness her departure. The house was .de molished, and hundreds of persons buried beneath its ruins. A number of lives have been lost.

Hon. Ephraim Banks of Mifflin cc. Ephraim Banks is the eldest son of Gen.iJames Banks, who represented old Mifflin county m the Legislature, when that body sat at Lancaster, and was one ol those Democrats who sustained Gover nor Snyderif celebrated veto of the forty bank charters. ' ; • * ' The subject ol this notice was born in Lost Creek Valley.-Juniata county, about the year 1792 or 1703. In early life he resided upon his father’s farm in Mifflin county. When quite a young mhn he was put into the office of Mr. Whitehill of Harrisburg, where he remained for several years. After leaving Harris burg he returned to Mifflintown, now the county seat ol Juniata county, where he-.was employed in the store of Thos. Cochran as a clerk His uniform good conduct, aud strict attention to business, soon secured him the confidence of his employer, who took him in as a partner in the bus iness, after a full knowledge of his character and business qualifications. In a few years;. Mr. Cochran sold out his interest in the store to Mr. Banks, who became the sole pi o prietor. Mr. Banks continual the business of store keeping till the year ISIS, when Governor Findlay appointed him Prothonotary of old Mifflin county, which appointment he held during Gov. Findlay's term. This was the first public station Mr. Banks held—the duties of which he discharged with sciu- pulous fidelity and signal ability. During the time he was Prothonotary, he read law, and was admit ted to the bar, and licensed to practice as a lawyer in 1821. In IS2S, bis fellow citizens elected him to the Legislature, to represent Mifflin county. He served his constituents in the Legislature three sessions, namely, IS2S-9, 1829-80, and 1830-31. During the sessions of 1&29-30 and 1830-31, he was chairman of the Judiciary Committee oi the House of Representatives, one of the most impor tant committees in the body; and- such was the ability displayed by Mr. Banks, as chairman ot that committee, that the Democratic members of the Legisjature, in 1 S3l, unanimously recommended the name of Ephraim Banks to Governor Wolf for the office of President Judge of the Butler district, to which Judge Bredin was afterwards appointed. Governor Wolf would have appointed Mr. Banks to the bench on that occasion, but lor the fact, that his'cousin and brother-in-law Judge John Banks, now of Reading, was then a practicing lawyer at the bar in the Butler and Mercer district. In 1830 Ephraim Banks waspnce more called upon to.serve the people, and in the autumn of that year he was elected a member of the Relorm Convention, to amend the Constitution, in a decidedly Whig dis trict, composed as it was, of the counties of Union. ] Mifflin and Juniata. In this latter body, composed of the first minds in the State, Mr. Banks sustained a high position, both for talents and ability, as well as a degree ol urbanity ol manner and dignity, and propriety jol deportment, that won for him hosts ol Iriends, both in and out of the Convention. In 1545, Governor Shunk tendered a commission to Mr. Banks as President Judge of the jndicial dis trict composed of the counties of Centre, Clinton, and Clearfield, during the pendency of Judge Wood ward's nomination by President Polk, to the Senate ol the United States, made vacant by the death ol Judge Baldwin. Judge Woodward's nomination was not confirmed by the Senate, apd consequently there was no vacancy to fill, the latter not having resigned his commission as Judge of the State courts. Mr. Ranks has saved for himself and family a competency by his talents and industry at the bar, and is now enjoying a good practice, in Mifflin county, as well as the undiminished confidence of bis neighbors, of both poliiical parties, for being a sound lawyer, a good citizen, a kind and obliging neighbor, an exemplary Christian, and an affectionate husband and father. Mr. Banks is a Democrat of the old school, who has always been guided by the old landmarks of Democracy. He has remained through life, firm and consistent in his political principles, breasting the whirlwind and the storm of opposition on all occasions, with the courage ol a veteran, and the confidence of an intelligent mind, that had possessed itself of the truth of the doctrines of the Democratic party. He is emphatically a self-made man, who by dint of his own talents, in dustry and perseverance, has built for himself a reputation which has once more in duced the publicto call upon him to serve them by his triumphant nomination by a Democratic State Convention for the important post of Auditor Gen eral of Pennsylvania. His past life is a sufficient ] guarantee to the people ot Pennsylvania as to his? capacity, or fitness for the office for which lie is now before the people. 1 have thus thrown to gether the leading incidents ol the life of Hon. Ephraim Banks, that all may know the man wjio is before them for their suffrages. Uj* Co. has appointed one Senatorial and two Representative delegates to the Stale Convention, and instructed them for Col. William public for the last three years, to .need any puffing; all he asks is, to give it a fair trial, therefore he onlv gives the annexed, hoping that it will satisfy all those persons who have not made a trial of his treatment. The great secret of his success is, that he uses nothing that will injure the weakest constitu- i lion, for instead of Forcing Nature, he will give ' such-IVledicines as will assist her in throwing off -jf-? - disease.
