At one, time, so systematic had- their work of destruction become, that the Railroad Company were induced to employ a couple of shrewd persons, whose duty it should be to travel along the line and detect the offenders; but so well organized were the band, tha't for eighteen months they eluded the most persever ing inquiries. Circumstances occurred, however, about four weeks since, which put the police officers on their track, and on Saturday morning last, thir ty-three of the villains were captured at Leona,, Michigan, Centre and. Jackson. Among the prisoners are tfiree Justices of the Peace, five men called doctors, one judge, and four constables—the latter belonging to the township of Leona, not an officer of which, from Supervisor down to postmaster, but is said to be implicated. In Detroit, Washington (jay and Erastus Smith were arrested on Saturday, and in the boose of the former were found a variety of implements for burn - ing buildings, and so constructed as to burn one hour, or three days, belore setting fire to the build ing. By one of these machines, it has been discov ered, that the depot of that city was fired last fall, which resulted in the loss of one hundred thousand dollars worth, ol property. The arrests were made on a writ from the United States Court, for stop ping the mail and for counterfeiting U. S. coin, and the prisoners will probably be detained unSifc the next session of the District Court. Lebanon Kidnapping Case. —The case of the Commonwealth vs. John Sanders and Sojomon Snyder, of Harrisburg,Pa., indicted puon the charge of kidnapping certain negroes claimed as slaves in the State of Maryland, was tried at late term of. the' Lebanon County Court. The indictment contained fourteen "different counts, but the jury acquitted, the. parties on all the counts contained in the. indictment, and brought in a verdict of“ guilty or assault and battery,’’ an offence not charged against them. [The - verdict was received -by the associates in the absence of the president judge, but will of course be set aside at the next term. Tue Kknt Count* Massache. —lt is now sup- I posed that Thomas Drummond, who confessed the jKent county murder, was himself, together with IShelton, the actual botcher of the Cosden family. .He now states that Abraham. Taylor urged him to join him in the murder, but does not implicate any one else. His confession is generally doubted. Intelligencer & lonrni lAuicaster, April 99,185! GEO.

Chaiiles Sumneb, Esq., a rank abolit onist, has been elected to the U. S. Senate, by fhe legislature of Massachusetts. On'the final ballot, Tuesday, the vote stood, Sumner 194, Winthrop and 25 scattering. We are sorry to say professed Democrats assisted in the deed of iriiamy. These men have committed an unpardonable sjn* against the National Democratic’party, which can never be atoned for, anil which must crush them under the weight of odium they have drawn upon' them selves. To the twenty-five or thirty trjie-hearted Democrats who refused from first to last to enter into the base coalition, all honor is due, and they deserve to be rememQred wilh gratitJde in all time to come. Sad Accident. —On Saturday afternoon last, a •small boy, named Getz, whilst attempting to jump upon the. cars when in motion, a short distance "below this City, missed his hold and fell upon the Track, when a poitiou of the train passet over him, severing one ol his legs above the knee, and crushing the other.

The scene of the story is pally in New York city and in the nortl the State', at a period when the British session of the City, \and while the noi tier * was ravaged by hordes of blood*; ans, under Brandt, who . committed deeds of cruelty.

Uie opposing legions are already bythe people, and nothing now is wanting bnt the formal declara tions of war. ' *• . On the one hand we have the Democratic candi date, CoL William Bislsb, with th& principles *of Jefferson, of Jackson and of Polk, emblazoned on his standard—on the* other, we have William F. Johvbtoh, with al! the political heresies of ancient and modem Federalism—Nativism, Free-Soilism* Bankism, High Tariffism and ing to his skirts. On the one hand, we have a candidate, who in every, situation in life has given indubitable evidence of honesty, integrity and purity of principles—on the other hand, Whiggery presents a candidate to the people whose political character is as tesselated as his public conduct in the,Guber natorial chair has been vascillating and inconsistent with his professions, and his principles, if he has any fixed ones, are {hose entertained by the Sewards, the Giddings’ and Garretsons of the day. But we need not draw the line any farther between the two I candidates. Their political histories and political predilections are well known to the intelligent reader. Suffice it to say, that the one is a sound and radical Democrat, with Democratic affinities strongly de. veloped in his character and history—the other is a fullgrown, uncompromising Whig, with all the Whig affinities, such as Bankism, High Tariffism, Abolitionism, and all the kindred isms strongly marked in his conduct and. associations. The one is a disciple of Jefferson, of Jackson and of Polk— the other a devoted follower of the Adamses, Van Buren and Clay. ed Corn shed and ; n to be In con the high' The people of Pennsylvania will have an impor tant duty to perform in choosing between the two candidates. The contest will doubtless be an ani mated, perhaps an exciting one, and upon the result may depend much for good or for evil to the State and the Nation for many years to come. The Democracy of-our glorious old Commonwealth have an immensely important duty to perform during the campaign. A vast' responsibility rests upon them, and the eyes of their brethren through out the Union will be intently fixed upon us. we succeed in placing a sound and reliable Demo crat in the Gubernatorial chair at the ensuing elec tion, aud thus redeem the State and the Nation froin Federal misrule—for the latter, in all human probability, depends on the former—or shall we, by supineness and lethargy, permit the enemy to again stQal a march upon us, and a second time bind the ‘sent, was ib, No. 1- William : of Da eirCars : us style, Persons ill means x, ,: and ill means pefcple hand and foot to the Juggernaut car ot Whiggery? This is an important question for the Democracy to determine by their conduct in the premises, and to their action during the next five or six months must we look for a solution of the problem. That they have the power, the numerical strength to redeem the State, admits of no dispute. If they use their power to advantage, all will be well, and Colonel Biqleb will be elected the next Governor of Pennsylvania by an overwhelming majority—if they fail to put forth their strength, an unscrupulous and reckless opposition may again succeed in grasping the reins of power to the det riment of the interests and prosperity of the people. To the people of Lancaster county we say, choose ye between them—Democracy or Whiggery—and let that choice be guided and governed by an honest and conscientious discharge of your duty. That “Lake of Fire.” Will the Union $ Tribune be kind enough to in form the public when, where, and in what manner Thomas Jefferson promulgated the sentiment at. tributed to t him in the first article under the editori al head of that paper, last week. We merely ask for information —as in all our reading, and we pro fess to have read some of Mr. Jefferson‘s writings, we do not recollect of having come across such an expression—we mean in the shape in which it is put by our neighbor, and the meaning which he gives; to it. Will Col. Hamersly give the sentiment in Mr. Jefferson’s identical language, who was gen erally considered a good English scholar, and knew exactly what he meant when he committed his thoughts'to paper—instead of dressing it up in his own style, or putting language into the mouth of thajt great statesman which he never used. It is laughable, however, to see how anxious the Federalists (Whigs) of the present day are to quote Mr. Jefferson's opinions to sanction their own con duct—a man, who of all others, their progenitors, the Federalists of the olden time, hated and perse cuted with a virulence and malignity unparalleled in the annals of party strife! But, so it is—and the same party are now quoting from the writings of Madison and of Jackson, to cover up their own enor mities, when, it is in the recollection of many of our readers that, during the Presidency of those eminent Democratic statesmen, nothing that the Whigs could say of them was considered too base and dis reputable. But, to return from this digression. We hope the Union £ Tribune will favor us with the senti ment attributed to Mr. Jefferson, in his own lan guage, verbatim et literatim, without taking from, adding to, or garbling it in any way whatever. — Come, neighbor, let us have it just as it is. it to learn nan named was shock- Jiim at W. ing the bolt car, and in train behind arms. He !ie lingered L him from i to Colum- Scott Meeting. The Antimasons of this county appear to have taken the start of the Whigs proper, and are trying to get up a feeling in favor of Gen. Scott for the Presidency. This movement is evidently headed by Mr. Stevens, who (we observed by bills posted up through this city a few days previous,) was to address a meeting of the friends of Gen. SjgoTr, at Safe Harbor, on Saturday evening last How the old and reliable Whigs of the county, who are friendly to Mr. Fillmore, will relish this move ment remains to be seed. We suppose that Mr, Stevens attended, and indulged in his usual argument in favor of Abolitionism and a Protective Tariff; and we suppose the anti-war Whigs, who denounced the contest with Mexico as wicked and abhorrent in the eyes of God and man, all raised their and shouted hosannas to one of the heroes of that war, whose penchant for blood and carnage is un doubted. But still, we doubt whether this move ment in favor of Gen. Scott, gotten up under the auspices of Mr. Stevens, will prove at all satisfactory to the Clay and Fillmore portion of the party. — Still, they will have to swallow the bitter pill, not withstanding its nauseousness, and as they are generally considered by that gentleman in the light of “whippabie” material, after making a few wry faces, they will jump into the traces and work right lustily under the lash of their master. story plais h Duke st., lensel, was understand; the house ipper story iNew York, work, en of the Mo ivrence La |laid prinoi* hern part of held pos thern fron hirsfy Indi atrocious connected lumbia, last inds of the {p* We learn from one of our Philadelphia ex changes, that the Diligent Engine, of that city, threw water twelve feet above the top of Dr. Jayne's granite building, Chesnut street, a distance of 146 feet—the top of the cupola being 134 feet from-the ground.

New Counterfeit. —Ten dollar notes are now circulating, on a counterfeit plate of the Miner s Bank of Pottsville, altered to the Tradesmen's Bank of Philadelphia. The counterfeit has the word “Ten,” printed in the corners, the genuine has fig. ures 10 ; on the counterfeit the vignette is S female figure looking to the left, with an anchor by her side and a vessel in a distance; the genuine, a figure of Liberty, with her face to theright, and eagle by her side. On the counterfeit, the side figures are a fe male head; on the genuine a head of Franklin on the right and a full fength female figure on the left. A coat of arms of Pennsylvania on the-bottom of the counterfeit note; on the genuine none—so says the Berks County Press. 1850-51 $59,869 53 43,781 74 35,557 96 148,958 17 $318,107 40 221,541 63. $96 625 77 The Presidential Qnestlon. owe an apology, perhaps, to our numerous readers, for pccapying fio much of the every week with npHcttgjf demonstrations UL&vbr ot Mr. Bcchaxait for fie have preferred a different course, looking, upon .the : agitation of the question as somewhat pr|matui£— hnt'we had no alternative. mendacity with which thismstingmshed statesman hns beeta assailed for the last twelve. mouths, espe* "ciaHy"in Lancaster county, and the powerful efforts that were made, and are still making, to deceive the pe6ple wfth re|ard to his strength and prospects in this.Btate and throughput the Union, render it obligatory upon us to present these evidences of popularity to show the high position he bolds now, and has all in the public mind. We -might, indeed, fill our paper every week with these popular expressions in his favpr—and our only difficulty has been to discriminate between the numerous testimonials that have come to hand, all going to prove, beyond the shadow of a doubt, that he is now as strong—aye, stronger in the affections of the people than he ever was, and that he is really and truly at this moment the most available candi date for the Presidency named by. the Democratic , party. ? ■ ■ ! This issue has heen forced upon Air. BucaANAN and his friends, much against their desire. He and they looked 7 upon the agitation of the Presidential question as; premature, and would have preferred its postponementfuntil after the Gubernatorial elec tion—but this was denied them by his enemies.— They sought to drag his name into every township and ward election, and even invaded his -domestic Tetiracy to? gratify their unhallowed opposition. In.all this'they have sown the whirlwind, and ■if they are now beginning to reap the storm of public disapprobation of their conduct, they have'them selves to blame,;. In their puny attempt tosbreak down a great and pure statesman, who has no superior in the’Union,-they have exhibited their own weakness, S and very forcibly illustrated the fable of the viper and the file. Now, in all this, we do not wish to be understood as finding fault with any portion of our Democratic friends for differing with us in! regard to the candi date. Democrats have a perfect right to their, preferences before a nomination, and they hare also a right to advocate the claims of their favorites with energy and zeal. But they have no right, if they are sincere friends to the welfare and success of the Democratic party, to abuse and vilify other candidates, and the friends of other candidates who are justas good Democrats as themselves, and who claim the right ol thinking and acting as free Amer ican citizens in this matter. We prefer Mr. Buch anan but have no fault to find with others who prefer Gen. Cass, or Gen.' Houston, or any other candidate —and, so far as we are concerned, shall conduct the canvass in such a way as that we can cheerfully support the nominee of the National Convention, no matter who he may be. We have a high regard for all the distinguished gentlemen named by our friends in conriexion with the Presi dency, and shall not say or do aught against either. Whilst we shall advocate the claims of Pennsyl ; vania’s great statesman to the nomination, we scorn to do it at the expense of the character or reputa tion of other candidates. equally entitled to our respect and admiration. We go in for sustaining the men and the measures of the Democratic party —and deprecate the conduct of those who would sacrifice the one and endanger the other by their abuse and violence. Thus much for our position. Those who pursue a different course may find, in the end, that we were right and they were wrong. We are in favor of conciliation and compromise, fair play and honest dealing;—those who act differently will have to abide by the consequences of their own misdeeds- We are done with our apology. The people will understand us. And to show that we have taken a proper- view of the question, we subjoin the fol lowing excellent article from one of the leading Democratic papers of New Jersey, to which we invite the special attention of every Democrat in Lancaster county: From Ihc Newark Morning Eagle. James Buchanan and Lewis Cass. —Considera- ble ill feeling has been engendered among the Pennsylvania democracy in regard to the distin guished men whose names head this article. Both have werm personal friends, and in the heat of the discussion many things have been Baid which we have read with paiii and regret. Thero has been no occasion for this fierce war of words. There can be no doubt that if the gentlemen referred to were consulted on the subject, they would urgentjy request its discontinuance. Both are eminent statesmen; oflarge experience in the political af fairs of the country; of high character; and both, possess the unlimited confidence of the great party of which they are bright and shining lights and bril liant ornamentß. Whether the one or the other re ceive the nomination of the national convention, Pennsylvania wHI contribute all her powerful aid to ward the success.of the nominee. Mr. Buchanan has ardent friends all over the Union. His reputation, as an enlightened, Bound, sagacious, and reliable statesman, is not confined to his own State. Wherever there aro democrats, the name of Buchanan is beloved and revered. — Wo know that in New Jersey he has a host of friends, who would rejoice to see him elevated to the presidency. It is not only natural but right, therefore, that-they should use all honorable means to influence others to his support; and for this rea son, we repeat, we have deeply regretted to see the motives of his friends impugned in bringing him forward at this time; That General Cass is popular in the democratic counties of Pennsylvania, admits of no disputo ; but this constitutes no ground for the disparage ment of Mr.BucHANAN. Either would make an able President, and either, we sincerely believe, can be elected to that responsible office. The elections, which have recently taken place in various States prove conclusively that the march of democracy is upward and onward. Its principles are deeply fix ed in the affections of the people, and time but serves to strengthen the roots of that sturdy oak, which, planted by Jefferson, and fostered and cher ished, protected and defended, by Jackson, has spread its branches far and wide —from the extreme North to the extreme South —from the the Atlantic on the East to the Pacific on the West.. The democratic party iB the national party of the Union. The people see this and acknowledge it, and in its hands the country can always be safely guided through the storms and tempests of sectional or fanatical agitation. For this reason, if no other, we are solicitous to see the democracy of the Union perfectly harmonious, and nothing can defeat so desirable an end save discussions of the character we have named, now going on in Pennsylvania—a State which has strong^claims upon the democratic party —a large portion of whose citizens would de light to seo Mr. Buchanan in the presidential chair. If national objects were not in view, we would not raise our pen to say the sjrnaUcßt word on the subject before us. We do not-desire to interfere in the affairs of our neighbors, bntwe do hope that oor Pennsylvania cotemporaries will see the folly of continuing their present course. Ht is not a State matter; it is one in which every democrat in the IJnion has a deep interest. Buchanan and Cass are both national property. For ourselves, we admire, esteem, arid respect them both, and should bail the election of either to the presidency with pride and gratification. Cultivate harmony among yourselves, therefore, brother democrats in the Old Keystone! It is your duty, and should be your first thought. Fugitive Slates Remanded.—A colored man, his wife and cKild, were arrested at Columbia, on Monday night of last week. From the testimony 1 before Commissioner McAllister, it appeared that the man named Daniel Franklin, was the slave of Robert Franklin, of Anne Arundel county land, and that Abby Franklin, with a child about four years old, were the slaves of Barbara Waile> of Baltimore, Maryland, and escapedsome time in ; 1849. They had also another child, about months old, but it was bom in this State, conse quently could not be taken, and was left at Colum bia. After a full hearing, the Commissoner granted' certificates to the owners, and the parties left for Baltimore.

A Slander Nailed! ; We have heard much in the Whig prints years agoTabout what they were*pleased to call the u ten .cents” speech and aa in some placestftey aitKTiow'engaged" ip the chctemjptihle basing of repeating the falsehood, we think prop- jo to give an Extract from his great speech detiyer- ed in. .the U..S. Senate,’ January 22, 1840, oh . the independent ' Treasury Bill, in reply Mr. Cnax; The extract we give is taken fronvlhe Congres- sional Appendix, and; contains that portion of hi? speech in which the sentiments attributed to him are alleged to have been uttered.' Now, we defy the ingenuity, of any man to find such a sentiment, or to put the construction upon his remarks which the disingenuousness of “honest” John Davis, of Massachusetts, and his Whig oPAlabama have attempted 1 to do. * The slander about “ ten cents a day ” is a . bold, unmitigated falsehood, known to be so by thS author and by every man of intelli gence in the community—but, in order'to expose its baseness, we give the extract below, so that every one who chooses may read and judge for himself. The publication of the speech is the best refutation of the infamous slander: But the- Senator from Kentucky [Mr. Clat] leaves no stone unturned. He says that the friends of the Independent Treasury desire to establish an exclusive metallic currency, as the medium of all dealings throughout the Union; and, also, to re duce the wagea of the poor man’s labor so that the rich employer may be able to sell his manufactures at a lower price. Now, sir, I deny the correctness of both I these propositions j and, in the firft place, I, for one, am notin favor of establishing an exclusive metallic currency for the people of this country. I desire to see the banks greatly reduced in number; and would, if I could, confine their ac commodations to such loans or discounts, for limi ted periods, to the commercial, manufacturing, and trading classes of the community, as'tho ordinary course of their business Blight render necessary.— I never: wish to see farmers and mechanics and professional: men tempted, by the facility of obtain ing bank loans, for long periods, to abandon their own proper and useful and respectable spheres, and rush into wild and extravagant speculation. I would,! if Ii could, radically reform the .present banking system, so as to confine it within such Ifthitsaß to prevent future suspensions of specie payments; and without exception, I would instantly deprive each and every bank of its charter, which shouldagain suspend. Establish these or similar reforms, and give us a real specie basis for our pa per circulation, by increasing the denomination of bank riotes firatto ten, and afterwards to twenty dollars, and I shall then be the friend, not the ene my of banks. I know that the existence of banks and the circulation of bank paper are so identified i with the habits of our people, that they cannot be abolished, even if this were desirable. To reform,. , and not to destroy, is my motto. To confine them | to the|r appropriate business, and prevent them ! from ministering to the spirit of wild and reckless speculation; by extravagant loans and issues, is all which lought to be desired. But this I shall say. ‘lf experience should prove it to be impossible to en joy the facilities which well regulated banks would afford,; without, at the same time, continuing to suffer the evils which the wild excesses of the pres ent banks have hitherto entailed upon the country, then Ifeshould consider it the lesser evil to abolish them altogether. If the State Legislatures shall now d*p their duty,l'do not believe that it will ever become necessary to decide on such an alternative. Wciare aUo charged by the Senator from Ken tucky [with a desire to reduce the wages of the poor man’sllabor. We have, been often termed agra rians on our side of the House. It is something new under |the sun, to hear the Senator and his friendp attribute to us a desire to elevate the wealthy manufacturer, at the expense of the laboring man and the' mechanic. From my soul, I respect the laboring man.’ Labor is the foundation of the wealth of every country; and the free laborers of the North deserve respect, both 4 for their probity and their intelligence. Heaven forbid thatl should do wrong! Of ail the countries on the earth, we ought to have°the most consideration for the la boring man. From the very nature of ourinstitutions, the wheel of fortune is constantly revolving and producing such mutations in property, that the wealthy man of to-day may become the poor la borer :of to-morrow. Truly wealth often takes to itself wings and flies away. A large fortune rarely lasts beyond the third generation, even if it. endure so lorig. We must all know instances of individ uals obliged to labor for their daily bread, whose grandfathers were men of fortune. The regular | process of society would almost seem to consist of the efforts of one class to dissipate the fortunes j which they have inherited, whilst another class, by their industry and economy,>are regularly rising to wealth. We have all, therefore, a common in terest, as it is our common duty, to protect the rights* of the laboring man ; and if I believed for a moftient that this bill would prove injurious to him, it should meet my unqualified opposition. Although this bill will not have as great an influ ence, ;aa I could desire, yet, as far as it goes, it will benefit the laboring man as much, and proba bly more, than any other, class of society. What is it ought most to desire? Constant employment, regular wages, and uniform reasonable prices for the necessaries and comforts of lifo which he re quires. Now, sir, what has been his condition un der our system of expansions and contractions? — He bps suffered more by them than any other class of sofciety. The rate 'of his wages is fixed and known ; and they are the last to rise with the in creasing expansion, and the first to fall when the corresponding revulsion occurs. He still continues to receive his dollar per day, whilst the price of every article which he consumes is rapidly rising. He i(S at length made to feel that, although he nom inally earns as ’much, or even ' more than he did formerly, yet, from the increased price of all the necessaries of life, he cannot support his family.— Hende the strikes for higher wages, and the uneasy and excited feelings which have at different periods, existed among the laboring classes. But the ex pansion at length reaches the exploding point, and whatf does the ; laboring man now suffer ? He is for a* season thrown out of employment altogether. Our manufactures are suspended} our public works are stopped ; our private enterprises- of different kinds are abandoned ; and, whilst others are able to wcariier the 6torm, he can scarcely procure the means of bare subsistence. Again, sir, who, do you suppose, held the great er part of the worthless paper of the one hundred and eixty-fivc broken banks to which I have refers red ? r Certainly it was not the keen and wary spec ulator, who snuffs danger from afar. 'lf yo.u were to make the search, you would find more broken bank: notes in the cottages of the laboring poor thaniany where else. And these miserable shin plasters, where are they 7 After the revulsion of I 83 7 ;, laborers were glad to obtain employment on any terms; and they often received it upon the ex press condition-that that should except this worth less trash in payment. Sir, an entire suppression of all bank notes of a lower denomination than the value of one week’s wages of the laboring man is i absolutely necessary for his protection. He ought j always to receive his wages in gold and silver. Of ail men on the earth, the laborer is most interested in having a sound and stable currency. . All other circumstances being equal, I agree i with 1 the Senator from Kentucky that that country is ’most prosperous where labor commands the highest wages. Ido not, however, mean by the terms « highest wages,” the greatest nominal amount.— During the Revolutionary war, v one day’s work commanded a hundred dollars of continental paper; but this would scarcely have purchased a breakfast. The 1 more proper expression would be, to say that that‘country is most prosperous where labor com mands the greatest reward ; where one day’s labor will,! procure not the greatest nominal amount of a depreciated currency, but most of the necessaries andjeomforts of life. If, therefore, you should, in some degree, reduce the nominal price paid for labor, by reducing the amount of your bank issues •witnin reasonable and safe limits, and- establishing a metallic basis for your paper circulation, would I this'injure the laborer? Certainly not; because the I prices of all the necessaries and comforts oflife are reduced in the Bame proportion, and he will be ! able to purchase more of them for one dollar in a sound state of the currency, than he could have done, in the days of extravagant expansion, for a dollar and a quarter. So far from injuring, it will greatly benefit the laboring man. It will insure to him constant employment and regular prices, paid in d sound currency, which, of ail things, he ought most to desire ; and it will save him from being in volved in ruin by a recurrence of those periodical expansions and contractions* of the currency, which have hitherto convulsed the country. ihis sound state of the' currency will have an other most happy effect upon the laboring man.— He will receive his wages in gold and silver; and this will induce him to lay up, for future use, such a portion of them-as he can spare, after satisfying his! immediate wants. This he will not do atpres ent, because he knows not whether the trash which he is now to receive as money, will con tinue to be of any value a week or a month here after. A knowledge of this fact tends to banish economy irom his dwelling, and induces him to ex pend all iis wages as rapidly as possible, lest they become worthless on his hands. Sir, the laboring classes understand this subject perfectly. It is the hard handed and firm fisted men of tie- country oh whom we must rely in the day of di nger, who are the most friendly to the passage <f this bill. It is they who are .the most ardently In iavor of infusing into the currency of th{ country a very largo amount of the precious metals, j __ lET lie Democracy of Delaware county! have instructed their delegate to the Judicial Convention injfavor df Judges Gibsost and Bbxx, for the Su preme Court. iThe Appropriation Bill. —The aggregete, amount of appropriations embraced in the bill passed by the Legislature, is $4,221,833 -nearly one half ot which is to pay the. interest on the public debt.

Schaeffer, of this City, and Cole man J. Bull, of Churchtown, to be military Aids to‘ his Excellency, with the rank of Lieutenant Colonel. ; We make our best military bow to you, Colo nels —especially would we tip our heaver to Col. Schaeffer, whose martial bearing and profound knowledge of [political] tactics, encourage the hope that if ever he is called upon to “ set a squad ron in the field ” of battle, it will be done in the most approved style and after the latest fashion. — Having served a campaign ourself, not in Flanders, where, “ our army swore terribly,” but in the Buckshot War of 1838, we naturally feel some curiosity to witness the performance of these new made officers, and to. discover whether Col. S drills his command according to the tactics of Baron Steuben, or after the discipline more recently introduced by act of Congress. And if ever his country requires his services in the field, we hope he will not fight in a borrowed character, like that of Sir-Dugald Dalgetty, renowned in the wars of Montrose for his strict allegiance to whatever party carried in its train the strongest military chest;— but rather, if the fancy suits him, we should prefer seeing him arrayed in the many colored garments of Anacharsis Klootz, the celebrated “ orator of the human race,” with shield, helmet and visor,—and being thus “doubly armed,” do battle gloriously in behalf of his country.

I think that the County Committee appointed last fall was in accordance with the regular usages of our party, and there should not be any thing done by any of our democratic friends that will in the least affect the long established customs of the democratic party. I see no plausible reason why there should be two sets of County Committees; as the demo cratic party is in the minority in Lancaster county it should bo the duty of every Democrat to übg his utmost endeavor to effect union and harmony in the democratic ranks.
