On Sunday morning, the 20th,ultimo, about 7 o'clock, the usual quiet of the day was dis turbed by the ringing of the Town Hall bell, and the terrifying cry of “fire,” which were caused by the burning of Mr. Pf.ter Haleeman's store. It was discovered $0 be on fire on the second story of toe building, whence the smoke was issuing when our active and vigilant firemen arrived on the spot The windows of the.second story, both in the front and back part of the building, were immediately force.! open, which enabled the firemen to throw the water directly on the free. We need not say that they very soon succeeded in conquering the flames; though not before consid<?rable damage had been done by the fire and water. The loss is\bout $10,000; but we are glad to say it is fully covered by insurance. The fife was evidently the work of an incendia ry, who gamed entrance into the store through a window in the yard, by taking the bolts off the shutter. Once in the store, he went to the second story of the building, where,- in order effectually to accomplish his.designs, he set fire to combustible material in different parts of the room. Mr. Hal- DEKAA- was in the store not more than an hour'be fore the fire, but not having occasion to go to the second story, lie, knew nothing about the fire, until the alarm was' given. It will be remembered that letters were received by Messrs. Spangleu & Kauffmax, stating that they and Mr. Haldf.man would be burnt out be lore the 10th of October. So far as regards Mr H the threat has been fulfilled—for this is the second nme, in the course of a few weeks, that his prop erty has been selected by the incendiary fordestrur tiorn Whether the threat will he lhlly carried out weeanno-say; hut judging from the dis-' played in firing the store, there is no telling where the work will end.— Columbia Spy. r Great Finn at Carbosdale.—A- tire occurred in Carbondale, Pa,, on the .night of the 28th ult. at II o'clock, which destroyed upwards of FORTY HOUSES, ip the most business part of the town.

Democratic Rally! The Democrats of the West Ward held a meet, ing at Jones’ Tavern, Spring Garden, on Saturday evening, at which Jacob Weaver; Esq. presided. It was an enthusiastic assemblage of working men who are never known to falter in the hour of trial. The meeting was addressed by Henry S. Myers, J. B. Amwake and Benjamin Champneys, Esqrs. Another meeting of the Democracy of the City* was held last evening, at the Court House. 1 TO THE POLLS! TO THE POLLS!! THIS DAY, (Tuesday,) Fellow-Democrats, you have a duty to perform, which should be done cheerfully .and willingly. Be at the Polls early cast your own votes—stay upon the ground and see that there is fair play—or go in quest of Democrats who through lukewarmness or misapprehension with regard to the importance of the contest, will be likely to remain at home. See to it, that every voter is brought out, and be sure that he votes the right ticket. j Remember, Democrats, that every vote counts and. for State officers especially, it may be of vast importance. No Democrat should ever neglect to exercise the inestimable of suffrage. It is a right denied to thousands and millions of the hu man race, and is nowhere held so sacred as in our own beloved country. It is the great leveling system "’which places all—the high and the low, the rich and the poor—upon a common platform. It ought to be cherished by every Democrat, and nothing save sickness or death should prevent its exercise. i urn out, then. Democrats, in the majesty ol" your strength, and show to the world that the six thousand Democrats ol Lancaster county are un completed and unconquerable. TOTHEfOLLS! TO THE POLLS!! THIS DiLY.

Stick to the Ticket, DEMOCRATS! 15,904 G 5 The County Tax, Our allegation with regard to the County Tax is based upon, what we conceived to he, reliable in formation. The charge is that the tax has been increased from 15 cents to 22 cents on the hundred dollars. If- our informant is correct, will the Ex aminer be kind enough to tell us wherein we were so wide of the mark in stating that the tax had been increased about 50 per centum? $54,032 33 42,004 27 Of course, our residence in Lancaster has been too short to enable us.to know every thing that is transacted within her borders—but, nevertheless, we,think it requires but little observation and less to find out the difference between 15 land 22. It the Examiner will show us wherein we, or our informant has erred, we shall cheerfully make the correction, as we never wish to do an injustice to any one, political friend or opponent. But if it be true, it may well startle the tax-payers of the county, and induce them to seriously consider whether a slight change in the administration or County affairs would not be for the better. The Democrats have to pay taxes too, and it would be nothing but fair that they should repre sentative in the Board of Commissioners. We think no reasonable Whig in the County ought to object to such an arrangement. Executive Corruption. Extraordinary Bitclomrc. John S. Rhey, a member of the last Legislature, in a speech made at a mass meeting in Jefferson county, a couple of weeks since, made the following disclosure, which exhibits a degree of recklessness never before presented to the public view: In the course of his speech of last evening Mr Rhey staled that during the session of the last Leg; islature, Gov. Johnston offered to' sell the Who party. It appears that James Johnston had been nominated by President Taylor as Consul to Glas gow, but at the representation of the Democratic members of the legislature, the U. S. Senate re fused to confifm it. The apportionment bill was then pending, and the Governor made overtures to Mr. Brawley, through Messrs. Konigmacher arid Russel, that if they would unite in a letter to Gen. Cass and Dr. Sturgeon, lirgiug the confirmation of James Johnston, he would exert his influence in fajor of and approve any apportionment bill the Democrats might desire, and-more particularly, in me event of such a compliance he would concede .the Clarion district to Drum, and a double district to Brawley. They rejected with disdain any affili ation with such a political trickster, and the ap pointment was vetoed. We believe this bit of se cret history has never been divulged. Mr Rhey expressed his willingness to substantiate his state meet provided it was denied. Whatdo the Whigs think of the model Governor who would sacrifice them to advance a member of his own family?— Verily, such conduct is of a. piece with that of wfyeh he was guilty in 1846, when he-solicited the Democratic nomination for Congress. Eraakville Jeffersonian. To our Patrons. Vote tke Ticket. Thaddeus Stevens. This is the only member of Congress from Penn sylvania, who is a thorough abolitionist on the sla very question, and has, as far as be was permitted to do so, exerted a blighting influence upon the deliberations xif Congress. His speeches on the slave questions were the most violeat, illiberal and abusive of any delivered during the. whole session, but they were happily rendered powerless by his notorious character and bad political associations, and past life ever since he has been in Pennsylva nia. His course, it cannot be denied, has done great injury to the interests of our State, and-when we heard that be had introduced a bill on the Tariff question, in connection with one in regard to slavery in the territories—in the same breath, we at once despaired of having anything done for the iron and coal interests ol our State. The Lancaster county whig?, in electing this man to Congress, have cov ered themselves with glory sufficient to close every coal mine in the State. We say well done, good old Lancaster, you have always been ten score years behind the age, and we are afraid Stevens will keep you there for ten to come.— Berks County Press. \Lr Thaddeus Stevens. —We notice by the Congressional proceedings of Monday last, that this notorious demagogue is about to make an at tempt to repeal the measures of Compromise, which have been hailed W’ith so much happiness by the country at large—measures which have received the sanction and support of such men as Cass, Foote, Clay, and other enthusiastic lovers of the country. He has given notice of his intention to introduce the following bills : A bill to alter and amend the revenue laws so as to afford reasonable protection and encouragement to American laborers; A bill to abolish slavery in the territory of Utah; A bill to repeal so much of the acts establishing territorial governments in New Mexico and Utah, as recognises slavery in said territories,, and as pledges the nation to admit new slave States into the Union; and A bill to repeal and annul the fugitive slave law, passed September, 1850. This is in keeping with his hypocritical cnarac* ter, —it will be observed that he has connected the Protective question with the Slave question, for the purpose of using the one to prostrate and put off the other. Oh, Thaddeus, how wonderfully wise & deep are all thy doings.— Norristown Watchman. Fugitive Slaves. —The party of slaves who sometime since were arrested in Harris6urg, at the instance of their masters, on the charge of horse stealing, and who were discharged on a writ of habeas corpus, and subsequently committed with their masters, on a charge of inciting to riot, were brought before the U. S. Commissioner, R. M'Al lister, under the new fugitive slave law, on Tuesday last. Mr. Taylor pioved the ownership of his property, when they were delivered over to their master, who had them carried back to Virginia, by railroad. No "disturbance whatever attended the proceeding. Value of Lanl). —The price of land in this Co. is enormously high. As an instance, the properties belonging to the estate of Isaac Evans, dec'd, of K. Lampeter township, about four miles out .of the City, were sold a few days ago at’ the following rates, viz: No. I—ll 2 acres, at per acre. No. 2 G 5 il at 142,00$ per “ A Just Claim Triumphant. By the following extract from the Washington correspondent of the Baltimore Sun, it will be seen that our neighbor and fellow citizen, Col. Sa.mukl C. Stambauoh, has had his long and laborious ser vices. as counsel of the Western Cherokee Nation, crowned with success. The Pennsylvanian, in al luding to his efforts in urging their claim upon the General Government, says:—“Devoted to their in terests exclusively, during a period of more than eight years, and watching these interests with a zeal, and defending them with an ability, rarely witnessed, it is gratifying to know that he has fi nally carried his case. It is now to be hoped that the Western Cherokees will not fail to appreciate fully those services, without which their claim j would in all probability never have triumphed.'’ ! The extract is as follows: Among the different appropriations made at the session which has just terminated, you will find one of $860,000 for the Western Cherokee nation.— This sum was due the Cherokees by contract, and ought to have been paid them long ago. for ihe lands they surrendered and sold to the. U. States. It was a debt of honor on the part of the govern ment; but the amount being large, it required the persevering efforts and talents ol the counsel ol the nation, Col. Samuel C. Stambaugh, of Pennsylva nia, to have justice done to that now civilized na tion. The Eastern Cherokees were less fortunate, and their claims lie over till the next,session. Col. Stambaugh has spent the better part ot his fortune in defending and securing the rights of the old set tlers ol the Western Cherokee nation, and the na tion will no doubt do justice to him in return for his devotion to their cause. The Bounty Land Bill. It appears that notwithstanding the imperfections of the Land Bounty Bill—which we publish in an other column—it has become a law, the President having withdrawn his objections to it. We find in the Washington papers a notice from Mr. Galla her, the Third Auditor, in which he says that so many applications have been made to that office, that he deems it advisable to notify the public, that copies of the Army rolls cannot be furnished from his office. He adds that all applications for bounty lands, “ must come through the Pension Office, (un. der the direction of the Secretary of the Interior,) and regular certificates of service will be furnished to the Commissioner ot Pensions by the Third Au ditor, as is now the practice irf regard to all claims for pension or bounty land/’ Horrible Murders. Two little sons of Mr. George Lester, near Alba ny, N. Y., aged six and eight years, having been missing for several days previously, were found, on Thursday last, in the woods a short distance from their home, both dead—the youngest covered with leaves and a large stone laid on the body, and the other hanging to a tree by a rope fastened round his neck. Suspicion rested on a young man named Reuben Dunbar, between whom and some property these children stood. He is a step son of David Lester, the uncle of the children. Dunbar is now in prison awaiting his trial. lD*The following singular incident occurred on Wednesday night last; in this City, at the residence of Mr. Peter McConomy. A few minutes after the family had retired for the night, one of the chil dren, a little girl of three years of age, who slept in the same room with her parents, was heard to scream violently. The mother supposing that the child was frightened' in her sleep, got up and spoke soothingly to her, and then again retired to bed; finding, however, that she fretted considerably, she again got up with the intention of taking her into bed—but finding the bed clothing was very wet, she got a light and then, to her gre.at affright, only discovered that every portion of the child's night clothes was saturated in blood. For a tew moments the mother was completely astounded, not being able to account for the dreadful appear ance of the child. After some examination, it was lound that she would not suffer one arm to be hand led, and a close inspection showed that the wrist had been lacerated; some of the blood vessels hav ing been cut by what it may naturally be supposed was a rat, as no other animal could have been in the room. Medical aid was called in the following morning, when the wrist was found considerably bruised and swollen, but the little sufferer is now doing well.— Saturday Express.

A terrific thunder gust visited this vicinity, on Saturday evening last - The Whigs and The Tariff; • He Whig papers in this County and throughout the State are making a most strenuous effort to in duce the people to believe that the Democrats in Congress are responsible for the failure to adjust the Tariff In reply to a charge of this kind made in the Washington Republic/ the Pennsylvanian thus disposes of the question and shows conclusive ly upon whom the defeat or delay of the measure undoubtedly rests. After showing that the Whigs and Free Soilers combined had a majority in the House, and that the Democrats, for all practical purposes, were in a minority in that body, the Penn sylvanian says: “But six months roiled over before a movement was made to alter the tariff by those tcily friends who professed not to fear majorities adverse to them; and this came in so questionable a shape,as to show that it had been delayed for the worst par ty purposes. Those who ought to have pressed it —those who were, par excellence , the tarifl leaders —those pledged to reform aiid remodel the law of 1846— did absolutely nothing. Mr. Batlet, to whom reference is made by the Republic , drove the nail into the counterfeit complaint of the Pennsyl vania Whigs, who complained, at the very heel of the session, that the Democratic Committee of Ways and Means bad prevented action upon the tariff He tore the thin disguise from this miserable false hood. He showed that those who were responsible for protracting the slave question—your STE VENSES—your Moores— your ' Caseys— your Howes— and your Hamptons— were responsible lor keeping back, for nine months, any action upon the Tariff. Had these demagogues, and their col leagues, responded to the wishes of the people on the one .question, they might have obtained and conciliated favorable action upon the other. Bui they not only tried to destroy the constitution so far as the slave question was concerned, but mo nopolized all the time of Congress, so that no other subject could be reached. At the eleventh hour they became eager for a modification of the Tariff But the game was too bald and palpable. They saw the election coming on in Pennsylvania. They saw that the masses were indignant at their treas onable, or cowardly course on the slave question; and for the double purpose of pumping up an ex citement in the iron and coal districts, and to di vert the popular wrath from their opposition to the great measures of peace and patriotism, they be came suddenly conscious of the ruin and devasta •tion resulting from the act of 1846. Congress, dis * gusted with their hypocrisy and folly, turned from them with contempt, as the people will do on Tues day next; and everywhere they are poiuted at as unworthy of confidence. No intelligent protection ist, who examines this picture, con deny that it is a faithful version of the reality.” ' Row among the Whigs of IV. York. We learn from the New York papers, that after the Syracuse Whig State .Convention passed a res olution endorsing the course pursued by Senator Seward, during the present session of Congress, on the slavery questiou, the President of the Conven tion—the Hon. Francis Granger —made a speech in which he dissented from the resolutions, and then resigned his seat, and seceded from the Convention! followed by the Secretaries and forty delegates.— They proceeded to a neighboring Hotel and organ ized a meeting, at which Mr. Granger presided. A committee was appointed to draft an address and resolutions for the support of the Whigs of the State, and a resolution passed ordering the proceed ings to be published. The seceding members, we learn, resolved to hold a Convention on the 17th o 1 this month, in Syracuse,and recommended primary elections throughout the State. Horrible Murder. The community jn the vicinity of West Chester, as we learn from Philadelphia papers, has been thrown into a state of excitement at the perpetra tion of a murder, unparalleled almost annals of human atrocity.. The circumstances are briefly these:—Phebe Shqrpless, a daughter of Aaron Sharpless, near Hamorton, in Chester county, has been teaching school near Rocky Hill, about three miles east of West Chester, and last Saturday morn ing a week, about 8 o’clock, as the scholars began to assemble at the school, they discovered her lying lileless at the door, having been s&ot in the back part ot the neck, so as to cause instant death. The wadding of the gun was lying near by, and the person who perpetrated the deed must have been secreted behind a walnut tree, which stands about 0- r > or 40 ft. in front of the door. -She was a young woman about 20 years of age, and of high respect ability.. A person was arrested on Sunday mum ing, by Sheriff Darlington and posse, supposed to be the murderer, (his name is George Pharaoh,) and circumstances tend strongly to fix it upon him, and he has been frequently about the place, and the wadding of the gun corresponds with a number of the Saturday Evening Post, found about his person. He denies having anything to do with the perpetra tion of the murder; but says that he was out gun ning, and was at no time nearer the.school house than a certain fence, about a quarter of a mile distant. Lixdiana.— A hatter in New York having paid $225 for the first choice of seats at the first concert of Jenny Lind, in New York, the Bostonians were determined to furnish a bigger fool than him, and succeeded. A fellow named Ossian E. Dodge, a vocalist by profession, paid $625 for the first choice ot seats, at her first concert in Boston. Our readers will inquire, who is this Ossian E. Dodge ? He is one of the strolling minstrels who perambulated the country in IS4U, enlightening the people in the mysteries of governmental politics, singing coon songs, and drinking whiskey and cider out of a gourd, to promote the election of “Tippecanoe and Tyler too!” “ A tool and his money are easily parted, is an adage that will be readily apprecia ted, when we take into consideration the man, and the price he paid for his ticket.— lcwislown True Democrat. A violent hail storm visited Pittsburg on the 27th ult. It is represented as being one of the severest storms ever known in the West. It commenced about half past two o'clock in the afternoon—the stones descending as large as hickory nuts. To wards three o’clock the storm increased, accompa nied by vivid lightning and heavy crashes of thun der. The hail stones at this time, it is said, varied in size from nine to fourteen inches in circumfer ence, and weighed upwards of one pound! Several persons were more or less injured.

Dhoves of Cattle.— The Martinsburg, Va., Ga zette, of the Ist instant,-says that the streets of that place, for the past few weeks, have been thronged by droves ol cattle passing from the western coun ties ol Virginia to the Maryland and Pennsylvania markets. They are represented as being princi. pally stock cattle, in good condition.

Fatal Mistake. —A most distressing affair transpired in our city yesterday, arising out of a mistake of a young man, employed in the drug store of Dr. Chamberlin, corner of Ninth and Ship pen streets. • The particulars are as follows: Miss Anna daughter of Jesse Nell, residing at 206 /Fitzwater street, had been ill with a bilious attack. Her physician, on Thursday evening, on finding her convalescent, gave a prescription tor a few grains of quinine. The prescription was taken to the drug store of Dr. C., and i.i his absence, the attendant gave morphine in mistake. The dose was administered at '7 P. M. On the arrival of her physician, J)r. Scoffin, in the evening, he discovered so®e unusual'symptoms, and on in quiry being made, discovered the fatal error. The young lady became speedily very ill. Dr. Carter, another physician, was called in, and every thing possible was done; but without effect, and at one o'clock yesterday morning the young lady died.— Resort was had to the galvanic battery and every other conceivable means to restore her, even after death; and for a time it was hoped that 6he was saved; but the powerful drug had spread its fatal influence too surely. The victim of this sad error was a lovely young lady—the comfort of her pa rents and beloved by a large circle, who are thrown into tne deepest grief at this melancholy termina tion of her life. The youug man whose mistake, has led to it, is about 22 years of age. He is, we are informed, in a very excited state of mind in consequence. The Coroner will hold an inquest on the body, and the matter be liilly investigated.— Phila. Neics. Mail Rohbert. —On Monday night last as one of the “Good Intent ’ line of Coaches, was going up the mountain some three or four miles east ot this place, some villain or villains, cut the straps of the boot, and robbed it ol several trunks, among which it is said was one containing $25,000 belong ing to one of the Wheeling Banks.— Uniontown Genius of Liberty. Fugitive Slaves, Judge McLean, in a recent suit for damages brought against Leander Newton and others for harboring and coucealing runaway slaves, made a charge, the points of which are thus reported in the Western Law Journal : The state of Indiana, May Term, 1850.—John Norris vs. Leander Newton et al. 1. Under the Constitution of the United States the master of fugitives from labor may arrest them’ wherever they shall be found, it he can do so with out a breach of peace, and take them back to the state from whence they lied. „ 2. A state judge, on'proper affidavit being made, may issue a writ of habeas corpus, and inquire into the cause of detention. 3. The affidavit of a colored person is sufficient for this purpose. •1. Every person within the jurisdiction of a state owes to it an allegiance. He is amenable to the laws of the state,,and the state is bound to protect him in the exercise of his legal rights. 0. When it appears, by the return of the habeas corpus,’that the fugitives are in the legal custody of the master, and the fact* of the return are not denied, there is an end to the jurisdiction o t the state judge. G. His jurisdiction is special and limited. 7. When it appears the fugitives are held under the autuonty ol the Union, it is paramount to that of the state. S. And so when an individual is held under the authority ot a state, the federa. judiciary have no power to release the person so held. 9. If the return to the habeas corpus be denied the master, must prove that his custody oi the slave is legal. . IU. If he fail to do this, to make an insufficient return, the state judge may release the fugitives. 11. But the master, though he may arrest with out any exhibition of claim, or judicial sanction, when required must show a right to the services of the lugitives. 017*A complete union has taken place between the Whigs and Native Americans of Philadelphia county, and a joint ticket has been settled by the two factions.

We rather guess that by that time, the people of Georgia will be content with things as they are— preferring the Union to any little advantage the North may have gained' over them in the recent adjustment of our National difficulties.
