GEO. SANDERS ON, EDITOR,
We need money!
We have several heavy payments to make shortly,
and, in order to meet our engagements, it is news*
sary that those who are indebted tor subscription,
advertising, and job work, should help us to a little
of the needful. Now that the excitement of the
political, campaign has terminated, our friends
will have a little more leisure to reflect on the ne
cessities of the Printer. We are always willing to
work and-do our duty as well as we know how
tot we cannot live upon the wind, and keep the
press going into the bargain.
All remittances made by mail, will be prompt
ly acknowledged—and our friends rin the City will
do,us the favor of calling at the office and squaring
their accounts.
A Democratic Jubilee
Will be held at the public house of Samuel Hull, in
Earlviile, on Saturday next , the Ist of November , in
the afternoon and evening, to celebrate our recent
victory. ~ f
ID* Several speakers will address the meeting.
The Democrats of the neighboring districts are
invited to attend. Oct. 27.
The Sinclair. Children.
We are pleased to announce that these highly
talented and interesting 1 children, three boys and a
girl—whose ages are six, eight, ten and twelve
years—will give a Concert some evening during
the present week, at the Mechanics’ Institute, in
this City. Their performances are of the most
chaste and elegant character, and excited the won
der and delight of admiring thousands in the South
ern and Western cities where they have given con
certs.
The “Fairy Queen,” the smallest woman in the
world, is expected to accompany them. She is
nineteen years of age, is only thirty inches fn
heighth, and perfect in form. She take part
in a little pantomime .with the Sinclair children.
The Sinclair Children are to give a Concert
at the Odd Fellows’ Hall, Columbia, this evening,
(TUESDAY,) —and in Hariaburg, on FRIDAY.
Torch Light Processions,
On Wednesday evening last, the Democrats of
Concord and vicinity celebrated the recent victory
throughout the State with a Torch Light Process
ion, accomponied with suitable transparencies, &c.,
and attended by the Paradise Brass Band—the
whole under direction of Col. Joel L. Lightner, Chief
Marshal—and Mr. E. Balton, Aid. ' .
And. on Saturday evening, at Soudersburg, at the
public house of Mr. Weitzel, the Democrats met in
great numbers and formed a procession, with suita
ble banners, transparencies, Ac., and accompanied
by the Paradise Brass Band. The procession was
under the direction of Mr. Eli Batton, as Chief
Marshal—assisted by Messrs, Christian Erb, John
R. Miller and Henry Gerer, as Aids. ■
The meeting was addressed by W. F. S. Warren,
. Esq., of Strasburg, and by Col. Wm. S. Amweg and
Mr. Thomas J. Keenan, Jr. of this City—after
which it adjourned with three cheers for Bigler and
Clover, and three more for James Buchanan.
lE7" A Torch Light Procession will also be held
in the Village of Paradise, THIS EVENING.
New Patents.
We are pleased to learn that Alderman J. F.
Reigart, of this City, has succeeded in obtaining
Letters Patent for Mr. George Winters, of Ports-
county, for an Improved Stlj Acting
Car. Coupling. He has also obtained, for Messrs.
Sheetz & Voorheis, of Campbellstown, Lebanon co*
Letters Patent for a new Water Wheel ■ Both are
ÜBelul and valuable inventions.
-GORMLEY’S “ HIMSELF AGAIN!”—See ad
vertisement of u Clothing Bazaar,” in another col.
umn. Gobmlet knows exactly how to select a
stock ot goods suit tble for the Lancaster market,
and in regard to fashion he can please the most
fastidious taste. Those who call at his new Cloth
ing establishment, in North Queen street, cannot
fail to be suited in quality, style and price.
C7* The official returns of Lancaster eounty will
be found on our first page, to which we invite the
attention oi our readers. By reference thereto it
will be seen that Clover runs 82 votes behind Big
ler, while Bigler’s vote is 128 less than the com
bined vote of Messrs. Echternacht and Boughter,
the two democratic candidates for the Senate. It
will also be seen that Judge Campbell runs 548
and Judge Lewis 353 votes less than Bigler—while
Coulter polls 90 and Coraly 87 votes mohe than
Johnston! There are other equally queer things
developed by these returns, all going to show that
through “scratching” and spurious* tickets several
of the prominent Democratic candidates were made
to poll a much less vote than they would have done
under other circumstances, and if there had been
no treachery or foul play in the matter.
jp- The German Reformed Synod of Pennsyl
vania, which had a long and interesting session in
this city, adjourned sine die on Thursday. A large
number of clergymen were present, together with
many lay delegates, and the proceedings of the body
were'conducted in a becoming and christian-like
manner. The resignation of Dr. Nevin ol his con
nexion with the Theological Department of Mer
eersburg College, which was tendered, was uot ac*
cepted by the Synod. *
The Speakership.
In the next State Legislature, the Whigs having
a majority in the Senate will, of course, elect the
Speaker. Mr. Matthias, of Philadelphia, who
was the presiding officer during the last
will probably be again placed in the chair.
In the House, where the Democrats have the
ascendency, John S. Rhet, Esq., of Armstrong
county, we think will be the Speaker. He was
second in caucus last year. 1 Mr. R. would 5 * doubt*
less make a most excellent presiding officer, and is
in all respects worthy the station. Mr. Bonham,
of Cumberland, would also make a good presiding
officer, and is, too, a talented, firm and reliable
Democrat. There are a number of other gentlemen
in the House whose talents and experience qualify
them to fill the chair with credit and ability; but
it appears to us that the two above named are
decidedly the most prominent, and that, in all like*
lihood the choice will fall on Mr. Rhey..
Clerk of the House.
Our talented and estimable friend, Col. Johm W.
Fohhet, of the Pennsylvanian, is very generally
spoken of in connexion with'the Clerkship of the
next House of Representatives, at Washington.—
It will be recollected that Col. F. was the caucus
nominee of the last Congress, and only failed in
his election through the bitter hostility of a band
of Free Boilers who, at the time, held the balance
of power. It is, therefore, due to the Colonel that
the wrong then done him, and which was produced
by hit able and courageous advocacy of the Union
and hit withering denunciation of Abolitionism
should now be repaired, and we look with confi
dence to the Democracy in the next Congress to do
him ample justice.
ILT Nothing short of steam can keep pace with
the progress of the age—for blood horses are be
coming obsolete, and racing is now done between
locomotives, as will be seen by the number for last
week of “Glsabdn’s Dbawins Room Companion, 1 ”
which illustrates an engine race at Lowell, Massa
chusetts. It is a spirited engraving, and, together
with eleven other pictures, and sixty-fourcolumns
of reading, matter, forms a paper of pictorial and
literary interest rarely equalled. Price only six

The above table is as complete a return of the
vote for Governor as can be- obtained prior to tb e
meeting of the Legislature—all the counties being
heard from, by which it will be seen that Colonel
Bigler’s majority is B}4§6. vote for Canal
'Commissioner and Supreme Judges is not y'h offi
cially announced—but we will be enabled to give
it in full next week. Gen. Clover’s majority, we
think, will be over 10,000.
OyThe Lancasterian, by way of diverting the
public indignation from its own misdeeds and the
Cameron faction with which it is now so thoroughly
identified, has the impudence to charge the defeat
of Judge Campbell upon Mr. Buchanan and Col.
Forney! Pray, was it these gentlemen that had
him struck over five hundred votes in Lancaster
county, and eight hundred in the adjoining county
of Dauphin ? And were they also instrumental in
having Judge Lewis cut some three hundred votes
in this county? Did they have Col. Bigler and.
Gen. Clover struck sbout twenty-five votes in the
East Ward of this* city alone—and did they, or
either of them, give “aid and comfort” to the com
mon enemy by refusing to do any thing in favor of
tbe Democratic State nominees until the eleventh
hour, and only then rendered a cold and formal sup
port, if it could be called a support at all ? It will
be time enough for that guerrilla press to make
such false and slanderous charges against Messrs-
Buchanan and Forney, when it is able to clear its
own skirts of the basest treachery to the Democratic
party—but not until then. This "stop thief” cry
of that paper is too self evident to be mistaken.
Every body, of the least degree of intelligence,,can
see through it at a glance.
Information Desired.
The Judicial ticket, as published in all the Dem.
ocratic the State—in the Lancasterian—
and as ordered to be printed by the*. Democratic
State Central Committee, read as follows;
Judges Supreme Court.
JEREMIAH S. BLACK,
JAMES CAMPBELL,
ELLIS LEWIS,
JOHN B. GIBSON,
WALTER H. LOWRIE.
Now, we have a question to ask ot our nieghbor.
Why was it that on all the tickets printed at the
Lancasterian office, the names of the Judges were
transposed, and,printed in the following manner
Judges Supreme. Court. t
JEREMIAH S. BLACK,
WALTER H. LOWRIE, "
JOHN B. GIBSON,
ELLIS LEWIS,
JAMES CAMPBELL. s
Was it because, by placing the names of Judges
Lewis and Campbell at the bottom of the ticket
it would be so much easier to strike their names
than, if they had been retained in the proper place?
The fact that they were both struck in this cpunty
several hundred votes would seem to favor the in*
ierence. But we only ask for information. Will
our neighbor give it?
The “ Express,” finding that its slanderous
and libellous attacks upon' Judge Lewis, did not
avail it much in the end, has now commenced the
same system of warfare upon the Hon. Jab. Buch
ah ah —and for what ? Because, forsooth, some five
or six hundred Democrats of f this City thought
proper to march out in procession to his residence,
on the evening of the 16th inst., to congratulate
him upon the triumphant election of Col. Bigler
and the Democratic State Ticket; and because he
saw proper to entertain them for the hour they
remained at Wheatland, with that courtesy and
liberality for which„heis so justly celebrated. The
charge that boys , or men either, gotj “ beastly
drunk ” there, is, we are assured by eye witnesses,
entirely' destitute of truth. On the contrary, the
whole affair was conducted with the utmost pro
priety, and nothing 'Occurred that could by any
possibility give grounds for such a base slander.
From California.
The steamer Illinois brings news up to the 15th
of September. The Democrats have elected two
members of Congress and two-thirds of both
branches of the Legislature. The election for
Governor is very close, but we think John Biglxr
is elected. Two millions of gold is being received,
and the mines yield richly. -
While crossing the Isthmus the great specie
train of the Pacific Company was robbed when
•even miles from Panama. After riding several
miles, Capt. Garrison came up with the train and
found it in the wildest confusion. Three of the
guard had been shot, and were lying in the road,
two in a dying condition. The robbers had made
off with one box of gold, but being delayed by its
weight, were overtaken'and fled, two being cap
tured. Five others, it was thought, would be
caught.
THE TELEGRAPH OFFICE.—We omitted
to mention last week the kindness and attention of
the obliging SuperintendanJ in this City, Mr..A.
Dennison, and his no less accommodating assistant
operator, Mr. William M. Wiley, during the night
of the election and subsequently. Every facility
was afforded in obtaining returns, and' every effort
was made by both of those gentlemen to gratify
the anxiety of the public.
Tbe Whigs In a Quandary!
The defeat of Johnston in this State and the
re-election of Goy. Wood, in Ohio, would seem to
have placed General Scott hoh decombat t so iar as.
the Whig Presidential nomination is concerned—
and yet we do not well see bow his nomination is
to be prevented, inasmuch as the Whigs in both'
States, through their Conventions, have committed
themselves to him as their first and only choice.—
Johnston, too, although shortly going out of power*
still wields immense influence in his party, and he
will exert all his energies to have Scott nominated.
In this he will be aided and abetted by. Thaddiut
Stevens, and all the Antimasons, Freesoilers and
Abolitionists in the State. On the other hand, Mr.
Fillmore and his friends will not be idle—indeed
they are already at work to secure the vote of
Pennsylvania for him in the National Convention.
The Fillmore men comprise-the “bone and sinew”
; of the Whig party in this State, and are known as
the Union wing of that party. They are headed
by Senator Cooper, between whom and Governor
Johnston a bitter and uncompromising feud exists,
and this enmity of the two chiefs is beginning to
show itself among their respective followers.—
Already curses “loud and deep” are being hurled
at eaeh other, and every day the breach between
the rival factions is becoming wider and wider.
Such being the condition of the Whig party
here, (and it is in pretty much tbe same fix in Ohio
and New York,) we do not well see how they can
venture to hold a National Convention at all—par
ticularly as it is well known that the Southern
Whigs are utteily opposed to Scott’s nomination!
and if forced upon them they will refuse him their
support at the election. But, we shall see what
we shall see.' The above reflections have forced
themselves upon our mind from-what we have seen
and heard during the last two weeks, and we throw
them before our readers; so that they may be in
duced to take a survey of the Presidential battle
ground for themselves. Depend upon it, there is
trouble in the prospective for the Whig party. —
Gen. Scott is destined to rfeceive “a fire in the
rear,” from his own political friends, as’well as a
fire in front from the Democrats, unless we are
more egregiously mistaken.than ever we were in
any thing pertaining to politics. He will have
greater difficulties to surmount, thau he had at
Cerro Gordo or Chapultepec.

Gov. Johnston Dies Hard!
“ The Groans of the Britons!”
The Harrisburg Daily American—the organ of
Governor, Johnston, and edited by his brother—
pitches into the affections of certain Whigs in the
following “cut and thrust style.” , Whether Messrs.
Webster and Cooper Will be much the worse for
the onslaught remains to be seen. We rather in
cline to the opinion that the Governor will come
off “second best” in the melee. It is a rich produc
tion, however, and we give it to our readers as an
other evidence of the rickety condition of the Whig
party in Pennsylvania! After stating the glowing
prospects of Governor Johnston before the election,
and the confidence it felt in his success, the Amer-
ican says—
In IS4B, the Whig National Convention nomi
nated Zachary Taylor and Millard Fillmore, as the
standard bearers of the Whig party in that contest.
The nomination of Gen. Taylor was effected after a
severe struggle. Wm. F. Johnston was a member
of that Convention. , It was at hi* suggestion that the
Pennsylvania delegation cast their votes for Millard
Fillmore. In consequence o( that nomination, Mr.
Fillmore was elected Vice President, and in conse
quence of that election, he is now the President of
the United States. After the Convention adjourned
in 1848, Wra. F. Johnston became the Whig can
didate for Governor of this State. He canvassed
the State with untiring industry, and it was due to
his efforts mainly, that Pennsylvania voted for Gen.
Taylor and Millard Fillmore, and thereby made them
the President and Vice President of the United States.
How does Mr: Fillmore requite these efforts? We
will tell the public. Mr. Fillmore, we believe, is
not personally hostile to Gov. Johnston. We be
lieve he is too honest a man, utterly to forsake and
seek to ruin the men and party to whom he owes
his present place. But we do know that he retains
in his Cabinet a man who has publicly, and unthin
the limits of our own State , expressed an earnest hope
that Gov. Johnston would be defeated. This is an un
doubted fact, and is within the knowledge of many
of the best citizens of Pennsylvania. Daniel Web
ster is THE HAN WHO BAS THUS DEBERTED THE
Whig pasty oe the State, and plotted to se
cure THE DEPEAT OF ITS NOMINEES. We Say this
with regret, tot we know it to be - true, and we
wish the people of the ,State to understand, that
through the hostility otrnen like Mr. Webster, the
Whig party of Pennsylvania is now in a minority.
Mr. Fillmore is, and was aware of this hostility. —
How far, therefore, he is responsible for the result
of these schemes, we leave a candid public to judge.
Mr. Webster has had his agents and wire-workers
in different parts of the State. They were, gener
ally, men of but little character, who could never
have accomplished their object, had they not taken
the precaution to conceal their bitter hatred under
the garb of extreme friendship.' They were hypo
critical as well fin treacherous. We will leave these
men to their reflections, and to the sure and just
punishment which certainly awaits them. We
trust that Mr. Cooper and his numerous and tricky
confederates will feel amply rewarded if our defeat
now should defeat the party throughout the Union
in the Presidential contest next year, and para-,
lyse us in this State for a long time to come.—
The vote of Philadelphia, Schuylkill, Northampton
and other counties where these assassins reside,
shows their fidelity to the men honored with the
confidence of the Whig party pf the State. In one
werd in Harrisburg, where most-of the traitors
live and have sympathizers, fifteen Whig tickets
■ were voted in which Gov. Johnston’s name was
; erased and, Mr. Bigler’s substituted. - In another
, ward and in an adjoining township, the same
course was pursued. .And elsewhere in the State
where the same influence reached, the same result
• followed.
The Richmond Enquirer , the leading Democratic
journal of the “Old Dominion,” says:—“The
moral influence qf Bigler’s triumph in the Keystone
State will be felt in all portions of the Union. . It
will cause antusl&very fanaticism to cower, and it
will give new hopes of justice to the South and
new tone and strength to the Union.”
And the New York Journal of Commerce , the in.
fluential commercial organ of that city, takes an
able and strong view of the beneficial influence oi
our election upoit the peace and safety of the Uuion,
and says it is to an association with such Demo
crats as those of Pennsylvania that it invites the
Whigs of the South to rally. In the course of its
remarks the Journal breaks forth in the following
strain:—
“ All hail Pennsylvania! She indeed performs
the part of Keystone to the ar£b of the Union.-\
Those immortal papers which were given to the
world in 1776 and 1787—the Declaration of Inde
pendence, and the Constitution—were ushered forth
within her limits; and the memory of those great
events still lives among her children and animates
their patriotic resolves. The voice of the great
Franklin, who gave his assent to all the provisions
of the Constitution, and urged its adoption by the
people, and that it should be faithfully performed,
is still heard throughut the State.”
We might fill several columns'of our paper with
such complimentary notices; but the above, coming
as they do from the “ Empire State” and the “ Old
Dominion,” will suffice for the present. We repeat
the election of Col. Bigler, and the consequent
prostration of Johnston and bis Abolition allies in
Pennsylvania, nave saved the country from aH the
horrors ol anarchy and disunion—and as such the
victory is regarded throughout the length and
breadth of the Republic.

“ We confidently declare, that our County ticket'
gave the State ticket over two thousand votes more
in this county than it would have otherwise ob
tained.”—Laneasterian,of Wednesday last.
That is, the two thousand Democrats (even ad*
mining there were so many,) who voted the County
ticket because they approved of the way in which
it was gotten up, thought more of giving a com
plimentary vote to certain gentlemen on it who
had no earthly chance of an election, than they did
of the success of the Democratic. candidates for
Governor, Canal Commissioner and Supreme
Judges! And this is simon pure Democracy, as
advocated by the.organ of the disorganizers! They
would have been perfectly willing to sacrifice Big
ler, Clover and the wholejJudicial ticket, sooner
than that their own selfish' and disorganizing
schemes should not prevail!;
We leave our readers and the Democracy 0 f the
State to make their own comments on so bold an
acknowledgment of political infamy. r

“A Demagogue f Shelved.”
•Governor Johnston, in a speech made at West
• Chester a few days prior to the election, called his
competitor sundry hard names, and predicted that
a demagogue would be ‘■shelved" on the 14th of
October. Col. Bigler, in his great speech at
Phcenixville, made a reply to this uncalled for and
ungentlemanly attack, which, it is said, has rarely
Been equalled for quiet humor and rejal dignity.—
But it appears that the election did “shelve” a
demagogue, of the first water —a bold and reckless
agitator, and a most persevering foe of the true
interests of Pennsylvania and the Union. We have
a suspicion that the Governor, e*'en ’while taking
credit for ! the fulfilment of the prophecy, does not
like to see it carried out on his own person. Still,
the people have done it, and he will have to submit
with the best grace he can. j
Mr. Buchanan in New York.
Mr. Buchanan was in .New York’, on business,
last week, where he met with a warm and enthu
siastic reception from the Democracy of that city.
The New York correspondent of the Pennsylvanians
under date of Wednesday, thus describes his visit :
Among the distinguished strangers at present in
town, is Hon. James Buchanan, of Pennsylvania.
The glorious result of the recent election in your
State—responding, as it did, to the : noble Union
victories won by the Nationalists in- Georgia and
Mississippi—is looked upon here as in no small
degree owing to the name and the influence of this
distinguished statesman. He meets with a warm
welcome here—the forerunner, it may be, of a
“ welcome ” he is ere long to receive by the people,
to the White House, at Washington.!
And the New York correspondent of the Phila-i
delphia Ledger, in reference to the same visit o
Mr. 8., says—;
Among the recent arrivals in this city, [N. Y.]
are Ex-Governor Marcy, of this State, Hon. James
Buchanan, ot Pennsylvania, and Hori. H. Hall, one
of the U. S. Land Commissioners in| California.—
Buchanan stock, redeemable in 1852, is a “favorite
security," just now. !
Mr. Buchanan In Delaware.
At a Democratic meeting held Bt Blackbird,

Resolved, That James Buchanan, of Pennsyl

of Illinois, our second choice for President, subject
to the decision of the Democratic National Con

Odd Fellows—Ladies Degree.
It would seem from the foilowin|iarticle, copied
ftom the Golden, Rule, that the Brethern of the Or
der are highly pleased with the “Ladies Degree”
recently established by them:
This addition to the work of the Order, made at
the session of the G. Lodge of the U. : S., was given
to the members of Eagle Lodge, No. 94, Brooklyn,
on Monday evening, by G. Rep. Daniel P. Barnard,
to the great gratification of the Lodge, which with
out dissent, considered the degree the brightest gem
in our work—beautiful, pure, and ennobling, as we
who own the mystic tie can frankly say. The De
gree is the production of Schuyler .Colfax, Esq., a
brother, who, had he written only this degree, would
be entitled to the warmest thandksof our fraternity.
The Degree, if we can credit those'who have heard
it, will'be considered by our lady Odd Fellows as
all they could wish, imparting as is it does to them
an idea of the nature of the obligations of our Order
which we take, as well as the nature of those mys
terious passwords and signs, in which we are such
adepts. The Degree belongs to every Scarlet mem
ber of the Order, and is to.be obtained of the N. G.
and we hope will be placed In their possession at
the earliest possible moment by the Grand Reps.,
and the early] transmission- of the Charge Books
from the G. V, of the U. S.
Immedse Railroad Business.
The intelligent correspondent of the Philadelphia
Ledger, “Obsebveb,” in a letter, from Reading,
speaking of the immense business on the Railroad
between Pottsville and Philadelphia says:
The Reading Railroad employs in all about fif
teen hundred persons, at salaries and wages respec
lively ol about $60,000 a month, or $720,000 per
annum. It consumes materials in value 0f520,000
a month, or about $5OOO ,a week, : causing in all
(consumption of material, salaries and wages) an
annual outlay of $840,000, all expended on its own
ground. A Some of the items of its manufacture are
particularly interesting and striking; Thus it man
ufactures thirty wheelß a.day, to' perpetuate its
machineries and cars, and reqnires; annually from
seven to eight hundred tons of new rails for repairs
only. It consumes daily 450 cords of wood, and
evaporates in the same space of time, half a mil
lion of gallons of water! Yet, with all the expen
ses of the roajl, the employment of so many hands>
the consumption of fuel, repairs,' &c., the cost of
transportation falls yet short of 62 cents per ton,
such is the enormous quantity ot coal brought down
every year for consumption! Indeed, the Reading
Railroad transports more tons of merchandise and
receives more per mile, than any, railroad in the
world, and exceeds in this, respect,' both the Great
Western, and. the London and Birmingham Rail
roads in England. 1

Mr. Buchanan—The Succession—
. The Last Hops of Democracy.
"We feel annoyed by an
equinpxial 'cough, aud it September chill, to go into
javery; elaborate discohrsq.rpn the subject of the
■Presidency. §till, the duty'.we owe to others than
barselyea, : requires that advance with
the* subject 'of the next Presidency. If we can
afford any light we shall be very clad of it j but,
if we “render darkness visible,” we shall not stand
alone, and nobody willjbe injured.
We commence therefore, what we have to say
to day, with the avowal 0 f the fact that, if Mr.
James Buchanan, is not nominated by the demo
cratic party, their candidate for the succession, the
election, so far as the democracy of the United
States is concerned, may be considered decided.
We do not hesitate to make the avowal as the re
sult of.conviction, by which we shall be ready to
stand, through all the coming chances and changes
of the approaching canvass.
Mr. Buchanan is the only man in the United
States, on.the democratic.side, who can carry the
electoral vote of Pennsylvania. If the democrats
nominate Gen. Cass, or any other now known can
didate, Pennsylvania will give'her vote to General
Scott, or to whoever may be the whig candidate.
Of this, no intelligent man,.need entertain a solitary
doubt. In that event, General Scott, or the whig
candidate for the Presidency, whoever he may be,
commences with the states of New York, Pennsyl
vania, and Ohio. He “bags” the whole of those
three states, without difficulty; and, after that, what
becomes of the election?
If Mr. Buchanan carries Pennsylvania, he takes
from the whigs the only positive and confident hope
they have of success; though,even then, it is by
no means certain rhatthey Can be defeated. Still,
Mr. Buchanan’s at the “tap of the drum,”
is far better than that of any other candidate, and
he will lead off with.a brilliant prospect before
him—he will to say the least of it, be far better
circumstanced than any competitor.
A state election soon takes place in Pennsylvania;
and, will be looked to with extraordioaryinterest.
The candidates for Governor, are Colonel William
Bigler, democrat, and William F. Johnston, whig.
It is not impossible that Mr. Johnston, who is now
Governor, will be re-elected, though it is confidently
hoped that Col. Bigler will succeed. As the entire
patronage of the state and of the United States, is
in the hands of the whigs, : we shall not be suprised
if Mr Johnston succeeds.. Be this as it may, the
result will have no immediate effect on the electoral
vote of the state in the year 1852, if Mr. Buchanan
be the candidate, of the democracy. In that event,
Pennsylvania will vote for her favorite son; but, if
any other man be nominated 1 by the democracy,
.the whigs, with General Scott, or any other man
they may select as their standard bearer, will take
the state. *. * * « • *
The democratic party in Pennsylvania, has
fearful odds to encounter in the approaching contest.
It has. the united force of the whigs, led by such
men as Gov. Johnston to meet and overcome ; and,,
beyond'that, it has all the prejudices of a strong
abolition party in the northern and northwestern
borders of the state to overcome. A large body
of Quakers and Moravians, sworn enemies of sla
very are also to be overcome. All these things
taken into consideration, in connexion with the
pecuniary resources of the Whigs, and the zeal and
activity of their leaders, we certainly shall not be
surprised if Governor Johnston is re-elected. In
that event, however, we have not a doubt that
Pennsylvania, in the event of the nomination of
Mr. Buchanan, will give him her vote by a majority
of at least twenty thousand.
If the democratic party is really ambitious of
defeat, let it reluse to nominate Mr. Buchanan, and
at once effect its object—it, at once throws itself
out of power for a quarter 1 of a century at least, if
not forever. . Refuse to nominate him, and the
whigs commence the battle for the succession, with
eighty-seven votes out of the hundred and seventeen
necessary to constitute a majority and elect. And
the votes thus to be acquired, could be obtained,
from New England and one oi the slave-holding
states—for instance, the strong whig sjate of North
Carolina. ' .
With auspices like these before them, the whigs
will make.a tremendous effort to carry the state of
Pennsylvania, at the approaching gubernatorial
election, with- the fond hope that the democratic
caucus of 1852, will reject Mr. Buchanan, and thus
leave them in undisputed possession of the field.
And shall it be said That they shall not and cannot
be disappointed in their calculations?
Presidency .is within the grasp of the dem
ocratic party, if Mr. Buchanan be placed at the
head of it, as its candidate and standard bearer.
Without him all is lost beyond hope of redemption.
It therefore remains to be ascertained if the democ
racy is ready to sacrifice and sell itself for less than
a mess of pottage! In any event, Pennsylvania
will become the battle ground, the Waterloo of the
electien; and, with this well ascertained and
admitted fact before the democracy of the Union,
can that party—will it be mad enough, to dash
aside the prize, to gratify the diseased ambition
of demagogues, whose motto is “rule or ruin!”
The only charge preferred against Mr. Buchanan,
is that he once acted and voted with the old Federal
party. The fact is not denied; but, it is now nearly
thirty years since he became an acknowledged
leader of the democracy, and as such, enjoyed the
confidence of Monroe, Jackson, Van Buren, and
Polk. Like hundreds of the earliest supporters of
Jackson and democracy, he acted in his youth with
the Federalists and- adjured them in more mature
age; and, has too long been tried in the wars of
democracy to be doubted. And, it were laughable
indeed to find his democracy contrasted with that
of General Cass, or our old and esteemed friend
General Sam Houston.-
; To brieg this article to a close, and to add all
that we intend to-day, we have only to remark
that the path of the democracy is plain and straight
forward—that they have their choice—success with
Mr. Buchanan—defeat without him. There is no
middle path to be^pursued.
ID* President Fillmore having received intelli.
gence from the United States Consul at Matamoras,
that a company of Texans had been organized and
marched into Mexico, and that new enlistments
were progressing for the purpose of aiding thedn--
surrectionary movement in the horthem part of
tjiat Republic, has issued the following proclama
tion :
, Whereas, there is reason to believe that a mili
tary expedition is about to be fitted -out in the
United States, for the purpose ofinvadingthe Mex
ican Republic, with which this country is at peace;
and whereas, there is reason to apprehend that a
portion of this country, regardlesss of their duties
as good citizens, are concerned in or may be se
duced to take part in the same; and whereas, such
enterprises tend to degrade the character of the
United States in the opinion of the civilized world
and are expressly prohibited by law:
Now, therefore, I have issued this my Proclama
tion warning all persons who shall connect them
selves with any such enterprise, in violation of the
laws and national obligations of the f United States,
that they will thereby subject themselves to the
heavy penalties denounced against such offenders;
that, if they should be captured within the jurisdic
tion of the Mexican authorities, they must expect
to be tried and punished according to the laws of
Mexico,, and will have no right to claim the inter
position of this Government in their behalf.
I, therefore, expect all well disposed citizens; who
have at heart the reputation of their country, and
are animated with a just regard for. its laws, its
peace, and its welfare, to discountenance and, by all
lawful means, prevent any such enterprise; and I
call upon every officer of the Government, civil or
"military, to be vigilant in arresting for trial and
punishment, every suchioffender.
Given under my hand, this twenty-second day of
October, in the year of our Lord one thousand eight
hundred and fifty-one, and the seventy sixth of the
Independence of the United States.

Removals in Pennsylvania. —A Washington
correspondent of the New York Herald , under date
of the 19th inst., says:—lt is believed that the per
sonal abuse indulged in by the Johnston papers in
[Pennsylvania, and especially by the Harrisburg
American, (edited by Johnston’s brother,) of Mr.
Fillmore and Mr. Webster,=will have the effect of
stirring up the administration to a defence of ifs
[friends in that State, and the removal of the John
ston clique, who now fill almost every office in it.
There will be some shaking among the dry-bones
there before long.
07* The official returns in this county show that
whilst Gen. Clover run upwards of eighty votes
behind Col. Bigler, the Whig candidate for Canal

Buchanan Clab, Wo l.
Mr. Sanderson;— Pursuant to public notice, (h e
personal and political friends of the Hon. Jams 8
Buchanan, in this place, and favorable to his nom
ination for the office of President of the United
States, met at the Town Hall, on Tuesday even
nr g iiD r v« PUl ?? se of or S anizin S BUCHANAN
CbUo, ftO 1; of Lancaster county. ,
The meeting was large, - (notwithstanding the
weather was very inclement,) and composed of our
most respectable citizens. On motion, HUGH
BOYLE, Esq, was called to the chair, and Jacob
M. Stricklkr, was appointed Secretary.
The object of the meeting was then stated in a
clear and lucid manner by Dr. N. B. Wolfe, who
spoke at length of the distinguished public service
of Mr. Buchanan, both in his several representative
. capacities and in his private sphere as a fellow
citizen. At the conclusion of his remarks he
moved the appointment of a committee of nine by
the meeting, to report officers for the organization
of Buchanan Club, No I, of Lancaster county.—
The following gentlemen were then designated by
the meeting: Dr. N. B. Wolfe, Joseph Hogentogler,
Joseph T. Sample, John Murphey, Adam Maxton
Chas. M. Strein, John H. Arms and J. J. Gault.—
The committee retired and after a short absence
. reported the following list of officers for the Club,
viz:
President. —J. J. GAULT.
Vice Presidents.— Hugh Boyle, Esq.. James,Stan
ley, Robert W. Houston, John Murphey,' Paul
Hamilton, Joseph List.
Recording Secretaries— John T. Houston, C. M.

Treasurer. — Joseph Hogentogler.
Committee of Arrangements. —Jacob M. Strickler,
John Slack, Adam Maxton, Samuel F.‘ Lockhard,
John H. Arms, Chas. E. Beitzel, John Yeanish.
The meeting then adopted the following as the
platform of the organization:
“ That our distinguished fellow citizen, the Hon.
“James Buchandn is our first and only choice to
“fill the office oi President of the United States as
“ successor to the present incumbent; and that we
“ will .use all honorable means both to effect his
“ nomination for that office by the National Dem
ocratic Convention, amt also, to signalize that
“ nomination by hk» election, deeming both such
“ results as but acre of common justice due our
“distinguished “Democratic Chief ” and much inju
red and long neglected Pennsylvania. . 1
The Club roll was then signed by every voter
present, and quite a large number of gentlemen
who could not be present, sent their names to be
registered. On motion of P. Morris, the Address
submitted to the people of the United States by
the State Democratic Convention of Pennsylvania f . t
oi 1844 was then read and pronounced to be a
sound and democratic vindication of the claims of. _
Pennsylvania and her “favorite son,” even at that
day, for the Presidential chair. After the reading
oi the address, which is signed by Simon Cameron,
William Bigler, Reah Frazer and others, the Club
adjourned.
Columbia, Oct. 24th, 1851.
Letter from Baltimore.
Baltimore, Oct. 25th, 1851
Mb.‘Sandeiison : Dear Sir— Our city has been
perfectly brilliant for the past week. The Mary
land Institute Exhibition—the Agricultural Fair—
and the Italian Opera, have attracted immense
crowds of the intellect, genius and beauty of the
country, from all parts of the United States. Our
Hotels could not accommodate half the visitors.—
General Scott, Governor Lowe, and Senator Doug
lass, of Illinois, with great crowds of the hand
somest Ladies in the world, made our city a scene
second only to the World’s Fair. The Agricultural
Fair, without exception or exaggeration, exceeded
any similar display ever witnessed in this country.
About 25 acres (the one half) of elegant woodland
were handsomely enclosed. Around the enclosure
ware erected some 1000 stalls, all whitewashed,
an I filled with the finest blooded horses*—Durham,
Devon, Holstein and Ayrshire Cattle, extraordinary
Mules and Jaeks-*-Swine and Sheep. On one side
was an elegant trotting and riding course fenced in
—on the other the ploughing and spading grounds.
Interposed through the shady woods were superbly
built cottages, filled with the greatest variety of
models, embroidery and needle work; handsome
tents and booths invited the thousands who daily
found their way thither, to feast their eyes upon
the most gratifying scene, the displays of the pro
ducts of the barn yard, household furniture, and a
great variety of the richest fruits and flowers.—
lmplements, and the vast num
bers of Flouring Mills, Saw Mills, Threshing
Machines, and omer contrivances by steam. Ma
chinery could not be surpassed.
Locomotive engines were in motion—Houses
were in a twinkling removed from place to place
—and other modus operandi which it is impossible
for me to describe. Just imagine a lever with a
small wheel on each end, drawn by two oxen, and
by a chain fastened to a tree a hundred feet in
heigbth, and two feet in diameter, tearing the tree
from its roots, and in one minute of time casting
it prostrate to the ground—and then yoiimay have
some idea of the immense power of the machinery
which was there exhibited.
The Maryland Institute which opened on Wed
nesday last, contains the most elegant variety'of
splendid articles ever exhibited in this country.—
The hall is 365 fee?t in length and 60 in width,
and is filled with Paintings. Sculpture, Steam Ma
chinery, fountains, and fancy goods unparalled in
beauty; and when illuminated with the myriads of
brilliant gas lights, the cheerful chatterings of thous
ands of-voices, and a full band of music resounding
from the extreme end of the Hall—then are we
completely lost in amazement, at the wonderful
ingenuity displayed. I cannot pourtray the effect.
