07* We direct attention, to the card ol Mons.
Charles E. Maiixt, who has commenced giving
instruction in the French language. Mons. M.
comes amongst ns highly recommended as an ac
complished instructor in his mother tongue, and
those who desire to obtain a thorough knowledge
ot French, would do well to embrace the opportu
nity now'afforded. His card will be found on the
first page. -
The November Magazines.
fl~7* Godey’s Lady's Book for this month is, as
nsnal, a tempting display of good reading and
handsome engravings. Among the mass of excel
lent articles in this number is a story called “ Kate
Carroll,” from the pen of a new contributor; a
bentiful and highly touchingproduction—promising
a brilliant future in the literary world.
Graham'* Magazine is also In good season, and
L boasts a long list of first rate contributors, and
• some most costly decorations. This favorite work
/never stood higher in the popular regard.
SartotV* Magazine is unusually interesting this
month. The Scenes in the Life of our Savioun
illustrated, are indeed an acceptable feature, and
art got up with much taste. The whole number
is one of the best ever published by the proprietors
and editors of Sartaik.
The Glorious Result.
Complete and official returns of the recent elec
tion in the State appear in our columns this week.
By reference to the table it will be seen that Col.
Btoler has a majority of Gen. Cloveb
of 8,5??— and that the average majority of
Judges Black, Lewis, Gibsow and Lowbie, over
that of Messrs. Meredith, Chambers, Comly and
Jessup, is 11,503. It will also he perceived that
whilst Judge Campbell is beaten 3,199 votes by
Judge Coulter, he nevertheless has a majority of
2,029 over the average vote of Messrs.
Chambers, Comly and Jessup, and over the lowest
of them (Jessup) of 3.80?. >
The average majority for Governor, Canal Com.
missioner, and the four Supreme Judges first above
named, is 9,515, which is the true Democratic
majority in the State, in the largest polt ever made.
But even counting in the votes of Judges Campbell
and Coulter, the average majority on the whole
ticket this over Whigß, Traitors ,
Abolitionists, and every other combination!
Truly, it is a glorious VICTORY.
Fulton Lodge.
Folton Lodge, No. 454, of the I. O. 0. F., was
organized, in this City, on the 15th ult., by D. D.
G. M. James L. Reynolds on behalf of the Grand
Lodge. The officers installed for the balance of
the term, were—
N. G.—Abraham Hendel.
V. G.—Dr. Samuel Welchans.
S—Dr. J. McCalla.
C. S.—Dr. J. Augustus Ehler.
T. —Charles W. Cooper.
The P. G.’s belonging to the Lodge are George
Sanderson. C. M. Howell, Walter G. Evans, S. S-
Rathvon and Charles Boughter.
The Lodge (which is the third in existence in
this City,) now numbers twenty-six members;
with a fair prospect of a rapid increase.
Consoling—Very!
The editor of the Union & Tribune must be a
philosopher. He consoles himself and his Whig
friends with the idea that ii the election waß to be
held this week, instead of having taken place on
the 14th ultimo, the Whigs would gain a great
victory! But as -that cannot be done, without
»treating the election as if it had .never been held,”
a game which his party friends are not disposed to
try again, he tells them, by way of encouragement
in their gloomy passage up Salt River, that they
will surely succeed at the Presidential election next
year 1 “ Hope deferred,” it is said upon high au
thority, "maketh the heart sickbut our neighbor
appears to be an exception to the general rule —
and he is already at work building castles in the
air, and dreaming of Whig victories that will
- scarcely take place during the present generation.
He is pursuing 'an ignus jaiieus that will surely
elude his grasp, and leave him in a yet worse pre-
dicament than he is found at the present time. In
the thirty-one States of the Union the Whig party
have succeeded in electing but three Governors,
whist all the rest are Democrats—and yet the
Union & Tribune talks about what they will do
nsxt year! How consoling at the heels of the tre
mendous defeat the Whigs have sustained in Penn
sylvania, Ohio and Virginia!
We read of a philosopher in ancient times, who
laughed at the follies of mankind—our modern
philosopher should go a step farther, and laugh
at hit oten folly!
2y The New York State election takes place
to-day. We can scarcely hope for success’, owing
to the distracted condition of the Democratic party
there—but still there is no telling what may take
place, especially as “revolutions neverfjo backward. 1
The glorious result in Pennsylvaniaway have con
siderable influence in deciding the contest in New
York.
2Tj The State Central Committee having before
the election, proposed to give the California banner,
(provided we should win it,) to the county polling
the largest democratic vote in proportion to its
population, it appears Monroe county is entitled to
the prize. In the contest with little Pike the at!"
joining county, aha only wins* by one vote. The
banner is to be worth one thousand dollars, and
Will be a glorious memento to the gallant democ
, racy of Monroe of the victory of 1851.
Uj* The latest intelligence from Europe is, that
the entire French Ministry have resigned, in con
sequence of the determination of President Bona
parte to restore universal suffrage by repealing the
electoral law of May last. The event excites the
most lively interest throughout Europe. The object
of the President is doubtless to promote his own
re-election.
I xr An immense Mass Meeting of the Democ
racy of Lebanon county, in honor of our recent
glorious triumph, was held on Saturday last, in the
Borough of Lebanon. The Vast assemblage was
addressed by the Hon. James Buchamaw and other
eloquent speakers, and, we learn, that the greatest
enthusiasm prevailed.
27- Rev. E; J. Sonars is spoken of as the sue
eessor of Bishop Kenrick in the Diocese of Phila
delphia. Mr. S. is at present Vicar General of the
Diocese, and is justly celebrated for his great learn
ing and eloquence.
jjy Mr. Webbies has reached Washington, in
improved health.
.The Result at the Election.
Now that the smoke of the recent well fought
political battle has cleared away, and. the public
mind has again settled down into that repose which
always succeeds a warmly contested election, it
may be well to take a cursory survey of the field,
and note some of the mom prominent features of
the result.
Although the,triumph which the Democracy of
the State have achieved, for many reasons, cannot
but be highly gratifying'and encouraging to our
friends, yet we are pleased to see that there has not
been, at any time, a disposition manifested to in
dulge in loud and empty boastings over it It has
always been claimed by the Democrats, and ad
mitted by the more candid and intelligent members
of the Whig party, that when the whole strength
of the State is brought out, and no extraneous in
fluences or false issues brought into play, the Dem
ocrats have a clear and decided majority of the
popular vote. We were defeated three years ago
from a combination of causes, which all understand,
and therefore it is unnecessary for us to recapitulate
them.
This year, however, a different state of things
prevailed. The Democrats had, with but few ex
ceptions, a thorough organization in every county
of the Commonwealth, by which our whole vote
might be brought to the ballot-box. To this end
they labored and the result is a glorious victory.—
This result clearly proves what we have all along
contended for, and what many: of the Whigs have
admitted, that there is a elear Democratic majority
in the State of about ten thousand. The evidence
of this may be found in the average majority for
Governor and Supreme Jugesd—the one being a
fraction under nine, and. the other a fraction over
eleven thousand.
There is another aspect of this result, which
must be peculiarly gratifying to every Democrat
who loves his principles and derires their success
and ascendancy. It is this: Our political friends
have shown by their votes in the late election, most
clearly and unequivocally, that they have no sym
pathy or fellowship with the Abolition and disor
ganizing heresies of the day. jOn- the contrary, in
the election ot Col Bigler to the Gubernatorial
chair, they have taken high and noble ground on
national democratic principles, and in favor of that
policy which seeks to allay all further agitation of
the subject of slavery,=and leave the question where
the constitution and laws ofthe country have placed
it. On this question, our candidate took a firm and
'decided stand, clearly defining his position to be in
favor of adhering to the compromise measures of
the last Congress, and opposed to any repeal or
modification of the same. His views, on this grea!
question, the greatest that has been agitated for the
last thirty years in Congress,; have been most tri
umphantly endorsed by’ the public sentiment of the
State, and every man who values the peace, honor
and stability of the Union, will heartily rejoice at
his election. ' j
There were other issues involved in the election 1
but they wereol secondary importance; nor have
we the time or room to advert to them now. We
may refer to this subject hereafter, when we shall
speak of the Tariff and other measures mooted
during the campaign. We would, however, in con
clusion, congratulate our 'friends throughout the
State on the splendid triumph they have achieved.
It was worthy of the cause and* worthy of them
selves,;and should stimulate, us all to ex
ertions in the glorious cause of Democracy.
Knocking Under!
Since the result ofthe late 1 election in this State,
and for the weeks, the Union # Tribune
has hauled down the flag of. General Scott —the
same which had floated at its mast-head for four
months previous, or ever since the meeting of the
Whig State Convention, in this city, in the month
of June last! This is significant, very—and looks
like surrendering to the Silver Greys, alias Fillmore
men, without so much as a struggle. Verily this
indicates “a fire in the rear” j with a vengeance—
and if these are the kind of supporters the General
has in Lancaster county, he may well exclaim
‘•save me from my friends!”;
But, it may be, there is “a wheel within a wheel”
in this sudden and unheralded capitulation of the
Union §• Tribune. Mr. Fieemobe bolds the reins
of power, and has the making and unmaking of
thousands of Postmasters andbther officials. NoW,
we will not pretend to say I that this unexpected
change of front by our neighbor had any thing to
do, either directly or indirectly with the patronage
of the President—but, nevertheless, there is some
thing queer in the movement, and it has, necessarily
given rise to all sorts of conjecture as to the why
and wherefore the Scott flag! has been taken down,
without even firing a guit in its defence. The mil
itary Aid to his Excellency,! the Governor, who is
himself the warm and devoted friend of Gen. Scott,
should not show the “white feather” so soon. Itiß
very evident that he is out cjf character in regimen
tals, and that he cannot “look upon blood and car
nage with composure"—he !is therefore in danger
of losing his commission, before he has had an op
portunity of distinguishing himself upon the field of
battle. But, perhaps, he may have soliloquised, as
did another distinguished hero, and congratulated
himself with the reflection, that
* “He that fight*, and runs away,
May live to fight another day j
But he that is in battle slain,
Will never rise to jfight again.”
Dislngenuonsnesß and Falsehood.
The Lancasterian still persists in claiming the
vote received by Mr. Echternacht, for Senator, as the
strength of Gen. Cass in this county, and the same
story is being circulated through all the Guerrilla
sheets in the State. Of 'course tha Lancasterian
and its allies know they are giving currency to a
hare-laced, unmitigated falsehood, when they make
the assertion. But what of that? Here, in Lancaster
county, the true Democracy—we don’t mean those
who struck Bigler and Clover and Lewis and
Campbell—laugh at the story, knowing it to be
false and unfounded. Very many of them voted
for Mr. Echternachtandhis colleagues for the pur
pose of getting the Cass men to support the State
ticket, which they threatened not to do unless, the
friends of Mr. Buchanan voted their county ticket.
This threat secured them!at least two thousand
votes in the county, which 1 they could not have got
for their ticket. under any! other circumstances—
but with all their promises, many of them struck
the State ticket, as the returns most clearly show.
But the falsehood of thej Lancasterian is not in
tended for home consumption. It is intended for
effect abroad, and the impression is sought to be
made elsewhere, in and oul of this State, that Mr.
Buchanan is unpopular at home, and that, in a fair
contest, he is not able to carry his own county.—
This is what the Cameraman press of the State is
driving at, although the Lancasterian'; faction here
have never yet given evidence of a willingness to
abandon their organization (after it was repudiated
by two State Conventions,!) and meet the genuine
Democracy at the primary elections. They will
have another opportunity afforded them before a
great while, when they can measure their strength
with the friends of Mr. Buchanan—but previous to
doing so, they should be Required to give some suf
ficient security that they will submit to the popular
verdict. They would no; submit to the decisions
made at Reading and Hsrrisburg last June, altho’
pledged to do so, and it is fair to presume that
the decision of a County Convention would be ns
little regarded by them. ■
We shall see what they will do when the proper
time arrives for testing tbje question.

The Keystone State*
Nothing more clearly shows the great import
ance of Pennsylvania in the Confederacy, than the
anxiety with which the people of all sections of
the Union looked to the result of the late election for
Governor. Whilst the great victories in Ohio and
Virginia have scarcely excited more than a passing
remark anywhere, although.apparently fnllyequal
to our own triumph, the result in Pennsylvania
has sent a thrill .of joy through the length and
breadth of the Republic, the echoes of which still
go on reverberating over the land! Why is
this? The answer is plain. Pennsylvania has
always been loyal to. the Constitution, and her
great moral influence has ev’er been found in favor
of the Union. Whilst almost every other Northern
State has been made to reel and totter under the
blows inflicted by Abolitionism, she alone has stood
proudly erect, and bared her breast in defence of
the Constitution and laws of the country. Her
giant form has been a bulwark of defence to the
South, and her voice has always been' to Northern
fanaticism, “thus far thou may’st come, but no #
farther—and here shall 1 * thy desolating waves be
stayed.” And nobly has she maintained her posi
tion; for thirty years and more, as the days-man
between the North and the South—and patriotically
did she come to the rescue at this last, fiercest
onslaught ol the enemies of our common country.
It is the position of Pennsylvania on the Slavery
question, that has given her so much importance
in the eyes of her sister States, and it was the
anxiety to know whether she still maintained her
integrity, at the present trying crisis, that gave our
recent election its great National importance. She
stood firm and immovable, and is now reaping the
rich reward of her patriotism and integrity in the
plaudits which are every where showered upon her
head by the whole Nation. Pennsylvania is now
more than ever the Keystone of the Federal Arch,
and her position is such that she can, if she will,
command the highest honors ol the Republic—
she can, if she does not spurn the offer, furnish
the next President of the United States.
The Democratic Press.
We have not room for the ; maDy and decided
expressions of the Democratic papers in regard to
Judge Campbell, and their indignant denunciation
of his foes.
After hearing the sentiments of hundreds of our
citizens, we feel authorized to say that the Db
vocbacx of Yobk with ore voice recommend
to William Bioier, Governor-elect, the appoint
ment of Hon. James Campbell, of the city of
Phiadelphia, to the office of Attobhet Gehebal
ob Secretary of the Commonwealth.— York
Gazette.
«‘ Amen,’ to that, with all our heart!” says the
Gettysburg Compiler. "His success,” adds the
Compiler , " would have rebuked in a most decisive
manner a band'*oi political traitors in Philadelphia,
who after having fattened and grown rich upon
the Democratic party, seek to destroy it. A num
ber of them, it is said, are still in office. If so, we
say out with them, and keep them out!”
Next hear the Lycoming. Gazette: —
But one event serves to detract from the fullness
of our joy; and that is, the .defeat of Judge Camp
bell. Had he been elected, our triumph would have
been complete; the consummation of what every
Democrat wished to see. His defeat drags tike an
incubus on the heels of our rejoicings. And what
most adds to our humiliation in this failure is, that
„he owes his defeat to professing members of his
own party. The principle involved in the election
of Judge Campbell ought to have induced a true
Democrat and friend pf our institutions to support
him, if he had not voted for another man upon the
ticket. We exceedingly regret his defeat, and, in
proportion as we regret it, are we willing to con
demn, expose, and help to rid the Democratic Party
of such banded and disguised enemies, as those Vho
prevented his election.
The Clarion Democrat says:—
* The Union of Church-burners, Abolitionists, and
bolters from the Democratic party in Philadelphia,
Dauphin, Lancaster and other uncertain counties,
produced the result. While such union is unnatu
ral, it rather serves to vindicate than injure the
character of the learned jurist. The capital that
certain false-faced Democrats can make out of
Judge Campbell’s defeat, may be put in their pock
ets ;'such treasure will be found corruptible. At
another election the traitors jwill be branded and
their names better known beyond the party into
which they insinuate themselves under false cover
ing, than in it. For the Democratic party to bear
with bolters and disorganizers, is to work its own
downfall— while to read them from it, is to add tq
its strength and beautify its principles. While the
disorganizers will be gathered to the fold of the
isms to which they belong, Judge Campbell will
remain a proud monument of his greatness, con
sistency, and integrity. The pure Democratic Party
will continue to honor him.
The Right Course.
Commenting upon the shameful policy of re
taining men in office under the Democratic party,
who have stricken at our usages and our candi
dates, the Philadelphia Evening Argus well says:
The Canal Boabd. —We understand that the
Canal Board m£t in Harrisburg to-day, for the
transaction of official business. We would suggest
that this opportunity should be embraced by the
Board, to take some action with reference to those
men holding office uuder them, in this section of
the State, who were openly in concert with the
opposition, and aided in defeatiifgthe regular nom
inees of the party. It was by the instrumentality
of these men that not only our Judicial ticket waß
beaten in the State, but .also our State Senator, and
five members of the Legislature, in the county ol
Philadelphia. Fearing that Cameron and his party
would not be able To prevent the election ot Dr
Heck, in the Dauphiu district, the order was issued
to his followers here, that Jackson must tall, and
by voting for the Native ticket they accomplished
the purpose. This is the true state of the case,
and by these means hasthe Senate 'been snatched
from the control of the Democracy, and the re
forms contemplated by the party prostrated. v All
the obstacles that Whig cunning and duplicity can
suggest, will be resorted to, to baffle and thwart
the administration of Col. Bigler, as well as place
hindrances in the way of the Canal Board and yet
the men who were foremost in this work, are still
bolding positions under that organization, and
openly defy them and the party.
A Few Plain Questions.
Will the Lancasterian managers inform the
public why it was, that in printing the tickets for
the late general election, they transposed the Judi
cial candidates, so as to place the names of Judges
Campbell and Lewis at the bottom of the ticket,
instead of second and third in the order in which
they were nominated 7 Was it that they might be
the more readily struck, and had that fact any
thing to do with these gentlemen Running several
hundred votes behind their colleagues in this county?
While their hand is in, they may as well let the
public know, too, who were the twenty-one persons
in the East Ward that struck the names ol Bigler
and Clover from the head of their County Ticket—
and who it was that printed and circulated tickets
with the'name of John Strohm on them instead of
Seth Clover, for Canal Commissioner?
The Democracy of Lancaster County feel a deep
interest matter, and a plain, unequivocal
answer to each of the above interrogatories will
be thankfully received. It will be decidedly more
interesting to the people generally to understand
this matter, than the constant stream of abuse
thatis poured upon the devoted head of Mr. Buch.
nan from the same quarter.
IP* The Memphis (Tenn.) Appeal, one of the
truest Democratic papers in the Union, thus speaks
of a recent letter written by Pennsylvania’s great
statesman, Mr. Buchanan :
The Hon. James Buchanan. —Let no one fail to
read the noble letter, in to-day’s paper, of the Hon.
James Buchanan. It is the production of a
statesman whose every pulse is true to the Consti
tution and the rights of the people and the States.—
He has been extensively spoken of aB the Demo
cratic candidate for. the. Presidency. The people
cannot hesitate to choose between him and a Scott,
a Fillmore, or a Webster, one of whom will cer
tainly be the Whig candidate. We proudly defy
the political friends of those gentlemen to produce
anything from them, wtych can parallel the height
ened and patriotic principle which throughout per
vades Mr. Buchanan’s letter. -
07* Kossuth was expected to reach England
about tbs 84th ult. .
The State Agricultural Fair, which came off at j
Harrisburglast weak—although the weather was
unpropitious part of the .attended by 1
an immense number of people from, different sec- j
tionsof-the State, as well ashy many •'from the 1
adjoining States. Amongst the diitmguished gen- j
tlemen present were' Hon. Ahdeew Steve*son,
of Virginia, who delivered the Address, the Mayor
and Councils of Baltimore, Mr. Boca am ah, Gov. j
Johhstoh, ex-Govemors Porter and Ritseh, and'
several members of Congress and the State Legis
•tore, together, with the members of- the Canal
and many other persons of note in the State
and out of it . ,
The Fair, although not equal to those held in Ma- J
ryland and New York, was highly creditable to our j
agricultural interests, and it may be set down as j
the beginning of a new era in the agricultural
history of Pennsylvania.
In cattle there was a very fine display. The finest
steer in the Fair was entered by Mr. Frederick
Keller, of this county. Several beautiful animals
were also exhibited by Messrs. Fishburn, Sharp, j
Henderson and Parker, of Cumberland, Gruns, of |
York, and Griffith, of Harrisburg. In horses, Mr.
John Noble, of Carlisle, Peter Brooke, of Franklin
county, William Ross, of York county, and Mr.
Patterson, of Huntingdon, took the palm. Of sheepi
Judge Woodward, of Luzerne, A. Clement, of Pbil"
adelphia, Joseph Cope, of Chester county, and Robt.
Hare Powell, of Huntingdon, had the finest breed.
Quite a large assortment of fowls, of Various kinds
were also exhibited.
The Fair was also very full in agricultural I
implements, and many of them were really valu-1
able improvements. Ploughs were there from Phila- j
delphia, Albany, Pittsburg, Detroit, and other places
—as also grain drills, reaping machines, winnowing.
mills, &c. &c. in great abundance from Lancaster,!
and several other counties of the Commonwealth,
and from Maryland.; .
The Address of Hon. Ahbrew Stivehsoh, ol
Virginia, was delivered on Friday, ; and is ver}
highly spoken of by all who had the pleasure ol
listening to the distinguished speaker.
It is calculated that there were from 15 to 20,000
person?, a goodly number of whom were Ladies, on
l he ground at various times during the Exhibition
May we not hope that the next Aqpual Fair will
be held in Lancaster. Our citizens should bestir
themselves in time, in order to secure it.
Hon* James Campbell*
The defeat of this gentleman—brought about as I
it was by one of the most corrupt and unholy com-1
binations that ever had existence in the State —is I
seized upon by the Whig press with avidity, s and I
the bold attempt is made to saddle the sins of a dis I
organizing faction upon the great body of the Dem I
ocratic party, by charging that he was defeated be I
cause he held to the Catholic persuasion. On this |
subject the West Chester Republican thus forcibly I
and truthfully remarks: I
"It little becomes these Whig journals to make I
a show of sympathy for the Irish and the Catholics. I
after the long identification of Whiggery. with th» I
Churchburners of Philadelphia—after uniting with I
those Churchburners in the nomination and election I
of Johnston and Taylor in 1848—after courting the I
support of Churchburner Representatives in the I
State Legislature for Whig candidates, —after at-1
tempting to defeat honest Frank Shunk in ’44, by I
representing him as friendly to the Catholics—after 1
actually bartering away, at the late election, one of 1
the Whig Judicial candidates in Philadelphia, ‘in j
order to secure Church-burner votes for Johnston.
And, in a word, after having, from the days of the
Alien and Sedition era of the elder Adams,down to
the present time, denounced the Democracy as the
Irish party.
It was well known over the whole State, prior to
the* election,'that Judge Campbell was connected
with the Catholic church. Democrats—upwards ofl
one hundred .-and seventy-six thousand Democrats
—voted for him. What did the Whigs? They all
upwards of one hundred and seventy-four thous
and Whigs—voted against him!
If the Democrats had had a German on their
ticket, and he, from any cause, had been defeated,
then we should have'heard our remarkably consis
tent Whig opponents, endeavoring to get up the
belief that he was'defeated because he was a Ger
man. And yet, who has not seen, time and again,
the epithets “stupid Dutch” and “ black Dutch,” ap
plied, by Whigs of other States, to the Democracy
of Pennsylvania? /
The fact is, Whiggery don’t-politically, like any
thing that is Dutch or Irish, because it knows that
the Germans and Irish favor Democracy. This/art
is fully sustained by the history of the two parties
in Pennsylvania, and we, therefore, have every'con
fidence that all efforts from that quarter, such as,
we have referred to, will prove of no avail. Thfe
principles of the Democratic party, find ja response
in the hearts of the masses of the people, and will
continue to commend themselves to the judgment
and support of all, whether Germans, Irish, or
American born. i .
Our Whig opponents will find thatjtheir gamfe
won’t bring the answer; that the Irish are. not so
green as to be entrapped by after election sympa
thy- into the purposes of Federalism.” j
Mutatls Mutandis.'
, “ Time was when the brains were out the man
would die.” But, says a cotemporary, iimes have
changed. The Whig party have got ahead ot old
times and customs. Its editors write as if; they did’rit
know they and their political party were dead. Look
over the map of the Union, and where is Whiggery 7
It haß fouhd a lodgment in one or two States, and
in two or three others it is engaged in a doubtlul
struggle for existence! Still, Whig editors, and
amongst the rest our neighbor over the way, scrib.
ble about electing a President with as much flip
pancy as if they believed what they write. And
then we have the singular spectacle of a President
proscribing the party that controls nearly, all the
States and both branches of Congress, and giving
all the offices of the Federal Government to his
faction, whilst bis broken down party prate about
electing another President to do likewise! Was
there ever such folly and deception attempted to be
practised upon sensible men?
John Bigler Elected!
California is Democratic all,over. JqHNBiGLEB
is elected Governor by over 1000 majority! . The
other State officers are all Democrats—so are the
two members of Congress, and a large majority of
the Legislature!
California, it is thought, has won the Banner—
having given a larger majority to Uol. John,, in
proportion to her vote, than Pennsylvania did td*

therefore, missed a figure.

• A correspondent of the West Chester Jefferso
nian, gives aa account of the voyage op (his cel
ebrated stream by' the Democrats in ’lB4B, and
concludes with the following jiccount of their re
turn": ■' .< v' v .
y • A mote cheerlesa,heartless, and death threaten-
gUce man never saw, than was the head waters
oif Salt River when we landed upon its barren and
■exhausted shores in !848. For the first year we
feasted oo hopes, and made common fare of fears
• We expected to return in the fall'of *49 but the
freshet was not*sufficient However we got along
better that winter. We had put in |crops and they
did well We had sown and the harvest came.—
We reduced the prohibitory tariff and traded salt
for produce by way of mutual exchange. The
country began to prosper and things became cheer
ing, when news came up that the) Union was in
danger and it was likely that we would be called
home. This was in ’5O; ane ond night we called
a council and resolved to get ready to go down if
. the water was “ high enough for raffing”’ But the
rise didn’t come and we concluded to prepare for the
Winter. We weathered it pretty \jrell M spring
when the cheering news came up one bright morn
ing tftat'our friends had selected u Bill Bigler,” an
old rafts man to pilot us down in *5l. AH hearts
were glad, and we went to work hrgood earnest to
have in good crops for Johnston and bis friends.—
And although we had a long summer, yet
about the lost of September the nver looked pro
pitious lor a rise, and about the soth of October
ihe water had risen to a foot. We went to fixing
up, building a rail, arranging matters, and on the
evening of the 13th, we all went [aboard the big
ipar raft—“the Clearfield." By noon the next day
we were afloat and gradually sliding from our
moorings. That evening was the last time we saw
the sun set linger around the brackish shores of
Salt River sources. Nextmorningiwe were far on
our journey, with a noble freshet bearing us down
ward. Bill Bigler at the front oarj Seth Clover at
the other, and a more jolly set off fellows around
there never was since the days of ‘rafting on Salt
River commenced. We arrived safely in this port
where we were met by our friends 1 who Welcomed
us with three times three for Bigler, Clover and
the Compromise; three times three for the tariff
of ’46, the faithful execution of the laws of the
nation, the rights of the North, the South, the Eaßt
■ind West, and nine more, loudeii than common
thunder, for our glorious old Union!
We met Johnston and his motlely crew a short
•distance below “Bankrupt Valley” They were a
sorry looking set of fellows. Johnston was laying
on some kind of “ shell "—which I learned since I
,came down was called “demagogue.” Strohm was
begging for supplies. Meredith was clutching a
bag of the “Galphin claim.” Jessup was calcula
ting the profits ot the “ Sußquehanna Bank ” specu
lation. On their old craft,—much like a “Pittston
Coal scow'”—they had all their effects; consisting
-of some strange looking thing'called “Sinken
Fund.” We didn’t know what it|was, only so • e
one said it was a machine by which 5 per ct. Joanß
were paid by borrowing money at 6 per ct. They
had also a celebrated Proclamation; a bill called
«• Breeches Pocket;” a picture of Gen. Scott veiled
in crape; a' 1 Protective Tariff for Protection’s sake;”
the coffin of Gorsuch; a large number of Fugitive
Slaves; an assortment of Bloomers; and a printing
press called the “Register & Examiner,’ which,
was working off circulars to the Methodists, charg
ing Mr. Gorsuch, one of their Preachers, with em
bodying’a “ Union of the Priest with the Blackleg
&c. They had no banners aboard 1 nor flags flutter
ing in the|breeze,but.tbey moved mournfully along;
not a song was sung nor speech was made, to the
place where the people had sent them.
By this time they are all back to Salt River s
head waters again. By this lime they have sur
veyed the improvements made by their opponents,
arid with their most musical voices accustomed to
iong, proclaimed-;-
“Ye crags and peaks WE are with you again!”
May they have a good time of it, and a long and
happy life. ' ;
In conclusion I beg your pardon for having tres
passed so greatly upon your time, and can only
offer as an an apology for this long letter, the
importance of my subject. \

Hon. James Buchanan.
The Mountain Sentinel, the able organ of the
Democracy of Cambria county, raises the name of
our distinguished fellow-citizen to its mast-head for
the next Presidency, and accompanies it with a
powerful article, from which we make the follow
ing extract:
The Presidency. —We have this day placed at
the head of our paper the name of Hon. James
Buchanan as our favorite candidate, and the choice
of Cambria, for the Presidency, subject to the de
cision of the next Democratic National Convention.
Of Mr. Bqphanan’s public services it is almost
unnecessary to speak. His reputation is alike bril
liant in every section of our confederacy. That he
is a man of mighty mind, able, learned, and exem
plary, there can be no doubt. Whether we look at
hie actions whilst a member ofi Congress, on the
floor of the United States Senate, or as the bright
est and most brilliant star of the glorious adminis
tration of the lamented Polk, we find him ever a
■.consistent democrat, an upright ;and-estimable cit
izen, devoted to the institutions of his country,
proving himself equal to every emergency, faithful
; to the right of each and every State, faithful to the
constitution and the laws, and a tower of strength
; in his warm and cordial support|of the recent com
: promise mfeasures.
We owet it to our readers to explain the causes
which havp induced us to take strong grounds for
! Mr. Buchanan hereafter, and we will do so briefly.
'When in'February last we look charge of the
“Sentinel,” we were prepossessed in favor of Gen.
Cass, and at the same time sas will be seen by re
ference to our file, April 3d, May flat, 1851,)- we
were willing to do justice to either of the other
gentlemen named in connection with that office.
; From that timo until August last we felt a hesitancy
in sustaining' Gen. Cass on account of the course
pursued by his friends in this State,- but being un
willing to desert a first favorite,! we refrained from
saying anything on the subject. About that time
•there were resolutions passed, at two meetings in
this county, urging Mr. Buchanan’s nomination,
land in obedience to the wishes of the democracy
;we espoused his cause; but being too much en
grossed with the late canvass, did neither Mr. B.
!nor ourself justice. Since thenjwehavehad ample
cause to spur us on: in the causej of the right. We
believe that the defeat ot the Hon. James Campbell
.was brought about by th£ leaders of Gen. Cass’
forces in Pennsylvania, by an .appeal to the baser
passions of man. They have pursued him, since
•the day of his nomination, with a malignity and
bitterness unequalled in any age, and the most
desperate means have been resorted to for the pur
ptfto of defeating him. j
Hon. James Buchanan.
W« publish below an admirable letter from this
distinguished statesman, which'in the present junc
ture of affairs will be read with great pleasure and
satisfaction.' The position of Mr.' Buchanan thro’-
out the whole agitation which has 60 shaken and
convulsed the country, has been uniformly conser
vative and patriotic, and as such, we believe, has
wonfnot only the approbation, but the applause of
liberal and high-toned men in every portion of the
Union. He iB opposed to further agitation upon
the slavery question, and to the, modification of the
fugitive slave law, and condemns without reserve
the factious and corrupt demagogues of his own
State, who, unmindful of good faith and their obli
gations to the Constitution, still persist in keeping,
open a question full of mischief and danger to the
South. The course of Governor Johnston (which
we are pleased to state has bep strongly rebuked
by many-of the Whig papers in the North,) is ex
pressly referred to by Mr. Buchanan in terms of
clear and decided condemnation. The efforts of
Johnston to conciliate the Frei Soilers and Aboli
tionists of Pennsylvania, and Ilia avowed determi
nation to evade if not to destroy that feature of the
“Compromise” which makes it even tolerable at
the South, have drawn upon him very justly the
indignation and the censure of patriotic men like
Mr. Buchanan. With leading statesmen in the
North, standing in such an attitude before the coun
try, proclaiming such sentiments as Mr. Buchanan
does, and has done, ince the beginning of the Slav
ery agitatibn, in 1835—with the prospect now so
cheering that Pennsylvania, in (he coming elections,
. will show herself worthy, to be known as the “Key
stone State”—the South may still hope that “the
fatal question of Slavery will goon bf finally settled
and placed at rest."— Fayetteville, N.fi., Carolinian.
Plank Roads.
A visitor to the Rochester State Fair, in New
York, thus describes a Plank Road in the vicinity
of Elmira, over which he travelled:
Within three miles ofi. the village of Elmira we
drove upon a Plank Road, the first any of our party
had ever seen. This is a road-that
extends ten miles in a south-westerly direction from
Elmira, and I sincerely hopejthese improvements
will ’be very generally iatroduced amongst us,—
Here they pay from 15 to 20 per cent., 6 or 8 yrs.
■The stockholders —the farmers who live along them
■—the villages connected by them—and travellers,
whether they ride in carriages, on horseback or on
foot, are all benefited by them. Therefore, they
should be made wherevtr practicable.

This is an extraet trom aneditoriafof the last
Chambers '.Tribune. What will our friends of the
Montgomery Journal say to this? Will they insist
still that Hooper is joking? What will our neigh
bor over the* way, say to .this kit at his candidate,
Mr.'Fillmore? , Every day we are more and more
convinced, that the Whig party as a party, is de
stroyed. Mr. Fillmore has surrendered to Se wa rd
and the Free soiters are now omnipotent in the
Northern States. What will, the Southern Whigs
.do? The Chambers Tribune in its article in reply
lo the Journal reiterates its former opinion, and
says: “On the assumption and in the belief that
the National Democratic party wpuld nominate a
man sound in respect to Southern rights, we have
said that we believed that the Whigs of the South
would support that nominee. We believe so still./
In this opinion we concur with Mr. Hooper.—
We therefore take the liberty of suggesting to the
“Whigs of the South ” the following ticket: For
President, Jakes Buchawam— For Vice President,
William R. Kjsg. Mr. Buchanan is as “sound in
respect to Southern rights,” as any prominent man
in the North. Let the Southern Whigs, who “ are
thinking” of Mr. Fillmore, compare his views and
opinions with those of Mr. Buchanan, and they will
be at no loss to discern who is the “ sounder man
io respect to Southern Rights.” As to Col. King,
both of the old parties at the South will unite in
his support. The State Rights party are satisfied
with hitn, and if any confidence can be placed in
the declarations of the so called Union Party, they
will be glad of an opportunity, to evince their re
spect for his character, and their confidence in his
political principles.
If the North is satisfied with Mr. Buchanan, the
South will be! with Col. King, and the necessity tor
a Convention of the Democratic party, will be
entirely superseded by the unanimity with which
the ticket will be supported. His only opponents
will be the Abolitionists and Freesoilers, and such
partisans as may co-operate with them for the at
tainment of party ends. • They can settle between
themselves, the relative merits of Gen' Scott and
Mr. Fillmore. One or the other will no doubt be
their candidate, and the. South will “ repudiate and
cast off ” both,of them'!' In the language of the
Chambers Tribune , the u Whigs of the South cannot
be rallied again for a fight in fsvor of the measures
or men of the Northern Whig party.
Earlville Meeting.

Paradise, Nov. 1, 1851,
Mb. Sahderson : Dear Sir —The Torch Light
Procession, on Tuesday evening last, was a grand
affair. The Procession was formed at Leaman
'Place and marched to Paradise, with suitable ban
ners, transparencies, &c., and accompanied by the
Paradise Brass Band. There were at least three
hundred persons in attendance. Eloquent addresses
were delivered by Mr. Mendenhall, Col. Lightner,
W. F. S. Warren and D. Lefever, Jr. This, was
Mr. Lefever’s first political speech. It was a noble
production, few “Woolly Heads” that were
present, looked awfully blue at his hard licks and
apt witticisms. H.
Terrible Drought isr Texas.— I The Houston
Telegraph is informed that, the drought has been
so severe in the frontier counties of Texas, between
the Trinity and the Brazos, that the grass through
a belt of country more than a hundred miles broad,
is literally parched. It was so dry, that .when rub
bed between the hands, it crumbled like dry furse:
The cedar forests in many places were all brown
and sere,-and scarcely a living tree could be found
for miles. Fires had swept through some of these
forests and thousands of acres had been cleared as
effectually as it the woodman’s axe had been busy
for years. The prairies are so parched that the
Buffalo has deserted its old haunts, and the Indians
are compelled to wander far to the north for game.
Many of the prairie tribes are in a starving condi
tion, and unless the government furnishes them
food, all the troops in the Union cannot keep them
from stealing the cattle of the frontier settlers.
A Valuable Soit.—lt is announced by the

heirs ol M. Dubuuue, have just commenced a suit
in the United States Circuit Court, with a view to
recover an immense tract of land lying along the
Mississippi river, extending eighteen miles above
and below Dubuque, running back nine miles, and
including within its limits the city of Dubuque, the
entire mineral region, and several of the best im
proved farms in the State. The claim is under a
title in Dubuque, antecedent to the possibility of
any title resting in Congress.
Death of Johk C. Bucheb. —We were shocked,
on Sabbath morning, by the announcement of the
death of Hon. John C. Bucher. He had been

no one thought bim to be dangerous, as he was
able to walk about and attend to his business. On
Sunday morning, however, he died suddenly in his

At her late residence in Leacock township, on
Saturday morning, November Ist, Mrs. Magdale
na Weaver, consort of the late Jacob Weaver,
aged 92 years, 2 months and 5 days.
The sphere of the deceased was purely domestic.
Her whole life—protracted to a.’period much be
yond that usually allotted to humanity—was conse
crated to home and the affections and hopes which
clustered around it. It was there that she shone
pre-eminent—an embodiment of all that was good
and gentle and useful.
The deceased was_a plain Pennsylvania farmer’s
wife of the olden time. She has outlived her day
and generation; and few of the many friend* and
acquaintances that knew and esteemed her in her
early life have survived her. She was the mother
of a numerous family oi sons and daughters, all ot
whom but one were married and became the pa
rents of large familes, and all of her children but
two have gone down to the grave before her. Two
of them died leaving families of small children to
the care of their grandmother mainly. (Mrs. Gon
der, of Abbeville, being one of these grand foster
children.) Mrs. W. lived nearly fifty years in'the
old homestead mansion where she died. This was
on the Philadelphia railroad, nearly opposite the
residence of Capt. Steele ; and when ‘the railroad
was finished by her door, and the first locomotive
and cars went flying by, this then aged woman re
marked to the writer (who has known her nearly
twenty years) that she had lived longer than the
anticipated, and was ready to die, for the progress
and change in every thing were more than her old
fashioned ideas could realize.
For the last twenty years the deceased lived in
widowhood and seclusion, during which time her
oh’y surviving daughter (Miss Mary Weaver) with
more than filial affection, and with a devotion and
assiduity that pever wearied, watched and nursed
her declining years, and smoothed her pathway to
the grave. The Divine induction “ Honor thy fath
er and mother,” was beautifully fulfilled by the
daughter. The world and its allurements —its joys
and its hopes'—were freely cast aside, and all her
affections centered in her aged and helpless parent.
Peace to the ashes of the dead.! Honor ana praise
to the noble daughter who thus, self-denying and
devoted, spent the best years of her life! G. y
