We would thus early urge upon the Democracy of the County the importance of attending the Delegate Elections, on the 10th proximo. It is a duty incumbent upon every Democrat, at all times, to pay particular attention to these primary meet" ings, so that a fair and honest expression of public sentiment may be dbtained, and that no undue ad vantage may be taken of their supineness and in activity by the wary and designing. This, we say, is the duty of Democrats at all times, even when a contest of but ordinary importance is . approaching; but, of how much greater consequence is it at this time, when, in addition to a Canal Commissioner, the Democracy of Lancaster county will be called upon to say, through their delegates in County Con vention, who is tLeir preference for President of the United States. They will have to determine at their delegate meetings, whether they will join their fellow Democrats throughout the State in present ing the name of their own distinguished citizen and friend, the Hon. Jajcss Buchahah, for that high office—or whether, through lukewarmness and lethargy, they will permit that expression fo be given in favor of some otbei* individual out of Penn sylvania. This is the real issue to be decided on the 10th of January next. Several of the other States are presenting to the country the names of their own distinguished citi zens in connexion with the Presidency, and shall Pennsylvania—the great Keystone the Federal Arch—falter in her duty to her own lair fame, and sayfin effect, that she has no citizen within her borders who is qualified or worthy to become the Chief Magistrate of the Nation! And shall Lan caster county lend a helping hand in the smcidal policy? Shall her Democracy fold their ajifs in complacency, and permit their venerated -ftllow citizen—whose great abilities are known and ac knowledged every where, and whose fame as a statesman is co-extensive with the civilized world —to be stricken down in their midst, and his place given to another! We are sure that no Democrat , who has any regard foe the position of his own County and State, will be guilty of any such act — nor will he give “aid and comfort” to a ’factions opposition, by neglecting to.do his whole duty at the primary election. Many of our Democratic brethren in the States north, south, east and west of us, are looking up to Pennsylvania at the present time, to fnrnlsh the next Presidential candidate. This- is the pheering intelligence that reaches us daily and almost hourly.. The strong hopes of the Nation are centered upon Mr. Buchanak, and it is to him, *more than any other living man, they are directing their attention* as the statesman who is best qualified to take the helm and rescue the ship of State from the break ers with whichjshejs surrounded. The Democracy of Lancaster county have, there* fore, a highly important duty to pterform. The eyes of the whole State are directed towards you, in the hope that .you will discharge your whole duty, in the premises, energetically, and fearlessly. Shall they be disappointed"? No—never. We are sure that you will give such a response to the call made upon you, as will at once settle the question that has so long been permitted to distract and di vide the party here. Tbe Plank Road. On Thursday last, notwithstanding the bitter cold weather, we accepted a polite invitation from the Managers of the Manheim, Petersburg and Lancas ter Plank Hoad, which- is now finished and opened for business-from this City as far as Petersburg, a distance of four and a half-miles, to take a ride upon it. To say that we, in common with the rest of the party, were gratified, is but a faint expression of our opinion in favor of the great utility of this improvement—the first of tbe kind in Lancaster county, and among this first in the State. The road is almost us smooth as a floor, - and 10 nearly level that in no place does tho grade exceed two anil & half di'gruos. It is built of plank eight feet long, from lour to ten inches wide and three inches thick* laid cross-wise on sleepers, and covered about an inch deep with # sand. We travelled the entire dis tance in about half an hour, and the horses were not in the least jaded, nor were "they drove near as fast as they might have been without injury. We should think, from what we witnessed, that on such a road a horse might be driven ten miles an hour with less fatigue to the animal than would follow a drive of six mileß an hour on aity of our turn pikes, and we are satisfied that a team would be able to haul double or treble the Weight it can on an ordinary road. The balance of the road from Petersburg to Manheim, a distance of five miles, will be completed early next summer. The entire cost of the road, including grading, planking, and damages, we understand will be about $30,000, or $3,000 per mile. At Petersburg the company sat down to an ex cellent dinner at Singer’s Hotel, prepared* at the expense of the Managers. The cold ride had shar pened our appetites, and we alt did ample justice to the edibles. During our short stay in the Village we visited, by invitation, the handsome residence of our friend, Mr. Henry Imhopf, the worthy Pres ident of the road, and partook of his hospitality. - We returned toLancaster about 3 o’clock in the afternoon, all well pleased with the trip and the ■kindness and courtesy extended to the company, and with our best wishes that the road may be as profitable to the stockholders as it will be benefi cial to the oommunity at large. A New Court House. . C The question of building a new Court House, which, by the way, is very much needed, is being agitated throughout the county, especially as it is understood the Commissioners are all three in favor of it. In the city it is'the principal topic of conversation at the present time, and itumer : ous are the efforts being made to have it located in particular localities. Some are in favor of having it in the eastern part of town, some in the western—some in the centre and others again in the neighborhood of the new Prison. What the County Commissioners will do in the matter we are not able to say; but we think unless ft can be made appear that the public at large, will be better ac commodated, they ought to consider well before they consent to remove it any great distance from its present location. We think the Court House and public offices should always be as near as possible to the centre of the town in which they are located, and this appears to be the opinion almost univer sally entertained over the entire State. We should regret to see Lancaster made an exception to the general rule, unless for good and sufficient cause. Another Revolution In France. . ■ The steamship Europa, from Liverpool, brings intelligence of another revolution in France.- On the Ist inst., the President, Louis Napoleon, seized the reins of government, dissolved the Assembly by proclamation, declared the city. of Paris in a state of siege, arretted and imprUoned the leaders of the opposition, and appealed to the people. Ajiew system of government was Immediately proposed by Louis Napoleon. Hie plan Is the In stant election by the people and army of a Presi dent, to hold his office for ten years, to be support tod by a Ciuncll ol State and by two Houses of the Legislature. Two hundred members of the Assembly have been arrested, and three hundred have given In their adhesion to the President. Barricades were erected by the people-ln difflirent parts of the city, and eoma fighting occurred. The next news from France will be of vast importance, Clarion for BucUanan. The Democrats' of Clarion county, met in Con vention last week, and elected J. S, McCalmont, Esq., their Representative Delegate to the State Convention, with Unanimous instructions'to support , the nomination ol Mr. Buchabas for the Presidency. Kossuth on Government. During his imprisonment in Turkey, Kossuth sketched a plan of government fosHungary, which proves him, says the Penasyhanian, to be a repub lican of the purest stamp, and a thorough Demo crat in all his feelings tuid tendencies. He starts out with the idea, which he seems to have warmly cherished through his whole life, that the central ization of power in a government, such as was ever contended for by the Federal party of the United and which is now the baleful prin ciple of the French Republic, is pernicious in all its effects, and destructive to liberty. Upon* this basis he erected a philosophic and pratical system like the government of the United States, but varied somewhat in its minute details to suit the peculiar composition and circumstances of the constituent parts of Hungary. His great fundamental principles are universal ' suffrage, and the sovereigoity of the people con stituted as a Democratic Republic. He dividesthe territory of the Republic into Departments, answer ing to our States, each one of which is to have its independent Assembly invested with powers over its own affairs, like those ot our Legislature. The Departments he sub-divided into Communes,&c., as we do our States, Counties, Districts, &c., each one of these to have the management of its own busi ness, uninterfered with by the Departmental or General Government- .V To legislate for the whole country within the limits prescribed by a written constitution, he pro posed a Congress precisely similar to our own; a body of Representatives to be elected in Districts .by the people, and a Senate to be elected by the Departments, two from each. Education is amply provided for, and i* l regard to Religion, he says> ‘the men of the .same creed associate, and there is* the free and independent association, governing itself at will according to the principles of its worship and its religion. It has nothing to do with the State, and the State has nothing to do with it. Here’is liberty.” An Interesting Book. Mr. Spix6lsb, of the Bookstore, has presented us with a neat little volume of 288 pages, entitled “Kouuth and Hungarian War ” —comprising a complete and authentic history of the late struggle of the Hungarians for. Liberty, with notices of the leading Chiefs and Statesmen W'ho distinguished themselves in the contest. The work is embellish ed with several handsome portraits and illustra tions, and it should be in the*hands of every one ; who desires correct information on* the subject of that war. sale at Spasglbr’s— only 25 cts. An Excellent Work* We are under obligations to Mr. Mubtiay, of the Bookstore, for a valuable work, entitled “27te Four Gospels; arranged as a Practical Family Commentaryi for every day in the Year." By the Author of “The Peep of Day,” etc. It is edited (with an introduc tory preface,) by the Rev. Dr. Tyng, Rector of St. George’s Church, New York. The book is neatly gotten up, printed on fine paper, handsomely bound, and contains about 550 pages. The work is embellished with twelve highly fin ished steel engravings, descriptive of scenes in the life of the Saviour; and the reading is of that kind which cannot fail to awaken and gratify the curi osity of. all, and especially of the youtfiful mind— a matter of very great importance in this age of Novel reading and trashy publications. It will be a faithful and attractive guide as well in'family reading as in the private study of the young, and will, as a necessary consequence, be of . lasting benefit to all who may carefully peruse its pages, A copy of the work should be in every Christian family.

Clat.— The Hon. Hbnrt Clat resigned his seat in the Senate, on Thursday last, on account of ill health. He will spend the winter in Philadelphia, and return to Kentucky in the Spring. Mr. C. is now seventy-five years of age, and we presume will never more appear again in public life. He was unquestionably one of the most eloquent men and accomplished orators tha{ ever graced the Halls of Congress, and his placeln the Senate will not he easily filled. Mr. C. has been in public life for about fifty years. [E7* Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday of last week, were intensely cold days in this region—and the nights were even worse than the days. The consequence is, a very fine crop of ice—and those having ice houses, are taking advantage of the cir cumstance to have them well filled. The ther mometer, at 7 o’clock on Wednesday morning, stood at 5 degrees above zero, in the open air. ffy The Judges of the Supreme Court have ap pointed Johit Cotle, Esq., of Pittsburg, Prothono tary of the Supreme Court for the Western District. The new Supreme Court has made a good be ginning. Mr. C. is a most excellent appointment. He is an able and competent man, and a sound and reliable Democrat. His selection for that impor tant office reflects great credit on the sound discrim ination of the Judges, and will meet with a hearty response from the people.

Bncfianan fn tbe South and West* The Presidential campaign is opening with spirit in the Southern States. . ' " In.a nomber the preUminarymovementsfora, representation in the DemocraticStateand NatioiT- al Conventions have already been made.. Georgia and Kentucky led off in the following gallant style for Pennsylvania and Buchanan: i. fr Cerystiam Coubtt, Ky., Democratic Mert rae.—At a meeting of the Democratic party of Christian' county, in the Court House, at Hopkins* ville, on Monday, the Ist day of December, to ap- point Delegates to the Frankfort Convention, Dr. J. C. Whitlock, wasj nominated Chairman, and Col. J. C. Noble, appointed Secretary. Oh motion, the Chair appointed CoK John D. Morris, W. J. Davis, and Col.-John C. Noble,as a Committee to draft resolutions for the consideration of the meeting. - The Committee' reported the following, which were unanimously adopted— Boohed, That we approve of the Convention of the Democratic party of Kentucky, to.be held at Frankfort, on the Bth of January next, for the pur pose of nominating an electoral ticket for the State, and for appointing Delegates to the National Dem ocratic Convention to be held next Spring. ' The second resolution appointed a large number of Delegates to the Frankfort State Convention. Rooked , That we cordially recommend to the Convention at Frankfort, the Hon.. James Buchan an, of Pennsylvania, as the Democratic candidate for the Presidency, at the election in 1852. i That in this distinguished patriot and statesman, we recognize the indomitable Democrat who strug gled with the Republican party in overthrowing the Federal administration of John Quincy Adams —who fought shoulder to shoulder with General Jackson in rescuing the Constitution and laws from the corrupting influences of the Bank of the United States—who stood manfully with the Democratic party in their efforts to throw off the burdensome taxation of a high protective Tariff—who was one ol the most zealous advocates of that 2d Declara- tion of Independence, the Independent Treasury— who, of all the statesmen ol the North, alone stood toward in advocacy of .that measure of justice to the South, the extension of the line of the Missouri Compromise through California to the Pacific—and who, throughout the whole of the slavery agitation o* the past twenty years, has ever stood boldly and unwaveringly by the Slates Rights Republican doctrines of ’9B, and by the Constitutional Rights of the Southern States. Resolved, That we reiterate the following resolu tion, passed by the Democracy of Christian one year ago, in this place, viz: Resolved , That in the recent measures of the ad justment enacted by Congress, the Southern States, as always heretofore, have conceded much—very muck —for the sake of the Union; and that their adherence to those measures, can be secured only upon the condition, that each and all of said enact ments are fully and faithfully enforced by the Fed eral Government. That though we regard said adjustment as an extreme concession by the South,[for the sake of har mony and peace with the North, we acquiesce in the same, on condition that it is in good faith car- ried out in all its parts. Of the Bucuasak movement in Kentucky, the Eddyville ( Ky .) Telegraph of December sth, says • Democratic Meeting iir Hopkinsville. —ln the last Hopkinsville Press, we find thelproceedinj's of a meeting of the democracy of Christian county, called to appoint delegates to the Frankfort ,Con vention, in which the claims of Hoh. James Bu chanan, of Pennsylvania, to the nomination for the Presidency, by the National Convention, to be held next May, are strongly presented. No preferences lor the Vice Presidency are indicated. Should Mr ( . Buchanan be the nominee, we shall be found swel ling the mighty throng that will give him aid and comfort in the race, and shall have no fears but that he will occupy the White House, March 4, ? 53. Cherokee County (Ga.,) Democratic Meet ing.—On Thursday, the 26th inst., a very respect able portion of the Democratic party of Cherokee county, met in the Court House at Canton, for the purpose of taking into consideration the best means to be adopted to secure the triumph of the Demo cratic party and of Democratic principles, in the j ensuing Presidential election. The Rev. W. W. Worley was called to the chair, and Joshua Roberts, Esq,, requested to act as Sec retary. The chair appointed Col. Joseph E. Brown, Geo. S. Hoy I, G. W. McCollum, Hiram Dimsdule, and Geo. ft. McCurley, Esqs., u committee to prepare resolutions for the meeting. In the series reported by tho committee, they, renowud thoir pledges to the old Democratic laith, declared their purpose to act with the National Democratic Convention, and expressed themsolves upon the Presidential ques tion, ns follows: Resolved, That iu the person of the Hon. James Buchanan, of Pennsylvania, we recognize a Demo crat of the old Republican school, whose brilliant talents, manly firmness, and weight of “character, as well as his patriotic devotion to the Constitution of his country, and his unwavering attachment to the principles of Democracy, point him out to the Democratic party of the country, as an object worthy of their admiration. And that, notwith standing the unreasonable objections urged against him, by the Abolitionists of tbe North, for defend ing the constitutional rights of the South, and the wanton abuse heaped upon him by those Whigs in our midst, who advocate consolidation doctrines, on account of his statesman-like and dignified con duct, in vindicating the rights ot his country, as a leading member of Mr. Polk’s cabinet, during'the war with Mexico, and for his uniform support of principles—)ve still retain for him the highest admiration, and hope that the time is not far distant, when his Whig calumniators in Geor gia, may have reason to be ashamed of the unmer . ited abuse which they have heretofore heaped upon him ; and, as a testimonial of our continued confi dence in his integrity and devotion to Democratic principles, we hereby nominate the Hon. James Buchanan for President of the United States, at the ensuing election, and Gen. William O. Butler, of Kentucky, (in whom we have like confidence,) 1 for Vice President, subject to the action ot the Na tion Democratic Convention. Of the above meetiag in Georgia, the Dalton Times speaks as fallows: Democratic Meeting in Cherokee. —lt is with much pleasure we notice the move that is making in different portions of our State to reor ganize the Democratic party. It makes us proud to think that we will be again allowed to behold the old Democratic flag wave in triumph as in days gone by. How gladly will the old Democrats 1 of Georgia, who glory in the name, fall into ranks, when they behold their time honored flag proudly 'floating in tbe breeze. We have already noticed the meeting in Milledgeville, and in looking over our exchanges, we find the proceedings of a large Democratic meeting" in Cherokee, which nominated James Buchanan for the Presidency, subject to the j decision ot the National Convention. The ball is | in motion, and keep it moving. From the New Orleans Wcelclj- Della. Presidential Prospects in Louisiana.— We refer to the Sage of Pennsylvania—Jas. Buchanan. This gentleman has very strong friends here, especially among tbe veterans of the party.’ He was liberal to the Louisiana Democracy, during the time he was Secretary of State under President Polk, and gave us the only first class Minister we ever had from this State. Mr. Slidell’s appoint ment to Mexico, (and we we regret deeply that we have not a gentleman of his astuteness and ability now, to represent our interests in that country,) se cured Mr. Buchanan the support and influence of that gentleman, and his numerons friends. Besides the course of the veteran politician from Pennsyl vania, on the compromise question, has collected around him that portion of the Democracy of this State, which early committed itselfin favor of that measure. South W. Ward, To strengthen this claim, it is Urged by his confi dential friends, that Mr. Buchanan*# name will be associated with that of Col William R.iKing, of A 1 abaroa, or Cobb, of Georgia, or, some even go so far as to suggest Foote, of Mississippi.. } From the BelleviUa (III.) Sun aid Advocate. “ Although we have reason to know that there is scarcely a Democrat to be found in this % section of Illinois, that does not agree with us in prefering the nomination of Judge Dougloßs before auy other man as the Democratic candidate for President in 1852; yet wo also know that Judge Douglass aside, many otour Democratic readers nave other preferences, among tho several dlstinguiihed statesmen named for that high office, and of"theio, many, and amongst them some of our host citizens, and most lealous democrats, look with fhvor to tho Hon. Jas. Buchanan of Pennsylvania.” From the Indian* SUlwmse. " Wo do not think tho nomination of Mr. Buch anan a fixed fact by any moans. That ho will ho strong In tho National Convention Is a fliot whloh It wonld be iblly to dispute | and the candidate that boots Mr. Buchanan will bo tho nominee, We think, from present indications, that he will go in to tho convention with more positive strength than any other aspirant. Mr. Buchanan Is an able and patrlotio Statesman, and, should he bq the nominee, we will yield him our zealous support.

They do not, however, seem to be very sanguine of his success at this {time, and ‘ate merely pressing him now in order to make his calling and election more sure in jlBsG.| The fol lowing from the Belleville Sun, the Democratic or gan of St. Clair county, is not without significance, and may be taken as a fair sample of.the feeling in Illinois: - : I w Although we have reason to know that there is, scarcely a democrat to be found in this section of Illinois, that does not agree \yilh us iri preferring the nomination of Judge before any other man, as the Democratic candidate! for President in yet we also know that Judge Douglass aside; many of our democratic readers have other prefer ences amWg the several distinguished'statesmen named for that high office, and ofithese, many, and among them some of our best citizens and most zealous democrats, look with favor to the Hon. Jas. , Buchanan of Pennsylvania ” An Illinois gentleman writes a long letter to the Pittsburgh Post, in the course of which, speaking of the second choioe of the Democracy of Illinois for the Presidency, he says: “ I have been surprised to find this second choice expression so uniformly and and strongly in favor of your own favorite —the old Conestoga saddle horse of the Keystone. Democratic team. I am weU convinced, from a recent general jintercourse with the active men of the democratic party of Ill inois, that if Judge Douglass hadpot been brought imo the field, as a candidate for the [Presidency, there would have been a move made in this State, in behalf of Mr. Buchanan, than has yet in any State, aside from Pennsylvania, strong as are the expressions in his behalf in lowa, Missouri, Tennessee, Alabama land some other States.” i Worth Carolina for Buchanan. The Wilmington Journal of bee. 13th, has a leading editorial devoted to the consideration of the duty of the Democracy of North! Carolina in refer ence to the Presidential question,! from which we extract the following v as to the sentirqent of that State: . ! I It will be remembered, that when in 1840 and LS4B, the Whigs succeeded in electing good but weak old men to the Presidency,j-the country was Democratic, and. we were beaten! by oiir own want ol harmony. Let us avoid this jin ‘52. For our own part, we have no hesitation an saying, that we believe M.r. Buchanan is the first choice of North Carolina, and we should .like to see him nominated, but we will make no pledges save to [support the nomination of the Baltimore Convention, provided the platform of that Convention agrees with us, and the nominee plants himself unreservedly upon it. The Presidency In pliio. The Chillicothe Advertiser, Lancaster Eagle, Ash land Union, Mt. Vernon • Banner , Portsmouth Dis patch, Youngstown (Mahoning ebunty) Republican , Piketown, (Pike county) Democrat, Hillsborough Gazette, Cincinnati Enquirer, Circleviile, Watchman, and several other prominent'Dernocratic papers in Ohio, have defined themselves injfavor of the nom ination of the Hon. William Alten to the Presi dency. ! The Ohio Patriot at New Lisbon, anid the Holmes county Farmer at Millersburgh, haye expressed their preference for Gen. Sam Hocbt6n, of Texas. The Newark Advocate hasthepame of the Hon. James Buchanan, at its mast head, a[B a candidate for. the Piesidency. The Eaton; Democrat also ex presses a preference for Mr. BudiiAttAtr.

To persons holding hand War - rants.; i 1 In another column of the Intelligencer will be found the card of Col. Henry Allerj, of Chariton, Lucas county, Town, who*offers his.-services to per sons holding land warrants, to locate them on the public lands in that State, to pay taxes on lands for non-residents, and to «transact !all business connect-. ed with a General Land Agency ” Col. Allen has resided on the frontier for a number of years, is in- timately acquainted with that part of the State, as he has traversed it hr the character ;of a surveyor, and is well calculated to located warrants. He,is a strict business man, and as I believe him to be worthy of all confidence do not hesitate to recom mend him to those who hold, wish to purchase, or locate lands, as being a faithful and {efficient agent. There is no portion of lowa which offers greater inducements to persons desirous of {emigrating to that State, than ' does Lucas' and' the surrounding country, and indeed all the counties in the South western portion of it. The soil cannot be surpassed in point of fertility, tbe climate is genial; land, both timber and prairie can be had at the nominal price .of j 1,25 per acre, the market is excellent, our peo ple being enabled to sell every pound of produce at high rates at their doors; the country is well wat ered and timbered and is fast filling up with emi grants, the majority of whom are from Ohio, Indi ana and Pennsylvania. But a few years ago that portion of lowa’ was uninhabited, save by the Indi an ; but the wigwam has given place to the log cabin, the sturdy oak and the slender sapling have alike fallen before the keen axe; ofj*he hardy pio neer, and at every step the marks of civilization are to be seen. It may almost seem incredible, yet it is true that in two years more than! 1000 persons settled in Lucas county. It iB one of the most west ern organized counties in the State, and lies between the Des Moines river and the Missouri State line, being one of the second tier of counties north of i . The main divide leading from the Mississippi to the Missouri river passes through it, and it will be but a few years until there willibe a railroad con structed from the mouth of the Des Moines to Council Bluff, which must necessarily pass through the heart of it. Already have {the people of the counties east of us commenced building a plank road, which is to be extended to obr county seat, so that ere long we: will connected with the Mississippi river by means of {not only a plank road, but also the Des Moines which is being Improved at this time with a yieyv to steamboat navigation. Lucas county is watered by the Char iton river, and; by Big and Little White Breast, Wolf, Otter, English, Cedar and Squaw creeks, all of which are bounded by timber of the best quality. Chariton the county seat, is situated about a quarter of a mile from the Chariton river, on the Mormon trail, and has improved rapidly during the last year. During the year 1850 more than 7000 .emigrant teams passed through! it, going west, while about 5000 passed through this year, many of them bound for the western portion of the State, while others were on the road either to California, Oregon, or Nebraska j Corn is worth 50 cents perbushel, Potatoes-75, Wheat 75 to 1,00, Pork 83,50 pier hundred, Beef $2,50 to $3; every thing elso In proportion, and so greut is the emigration west, for years produce will command these prices at the door of the farmer. The counties which surround Lucas am in an e qually flourishing condition, andflt is to this land of promise and plenty lhat wo earnestly Invite the enterprising young farmers of 'Pennsylvania.— With one-third the labor that Is required In Lan caster county to till tho soil in our state, the land yields a crop equal, If not superior to the best ever produced In this "Garden of Eden," I feel confident that there are many In this county who are looking to the "great west" as their iuture home, und it will afford me pleasure ere I return to lowa, which will be in aboutjtwo weeks, to give them all the information with regard to it in my possession. CHARLES LEIB, Reed’s Hotel, Lancaster, Dec. 20,1851. 10- The Kossuth Resolutionj as it came from the Senate, inviting |the distingijished Hungarian to visit Washington,~|passed the .House on Tuesday' by a vote of 180 to 16. | ’ ! i * Sew York Correspondence. New.' 19,; 1851. Mb. Editob :—The last lew days have been the coldest.that-we have experienced, in this quarter for iptne years. As we write this; the clear, bright sun»pofes down his nooir-dajr beams upon house top, and tree, lighting up the frosted edges of both with a glittering glory.yet parting with no heat to melt liquid beauty. Cheeks and noses go along the streets wearing the same sanguinary hue, and eatb that were ever erect belore to catch the passing breath of praise or scandal, blush and hide themselves beneath the nearest covering. It is emphatically, very cold; but the great beating pulse of our inner life here, the popular heart, is a 3 enthusiastic as ever; and the exciting, warming* impulsive gash of the popular feeling, absorbed in its devotion to the Hungarian Chief, bent only on manifesting its idolatry for him, and the Cause of his people, leaves no sign of frigidity apparent, save in trie silent atmosphere. j As for-Kossuth, every day but adds to the won derful demonstrations made by,the public in his favor—every day but increases the proofs of the extraordinary influence his eloquence has acquired over the sympathies-of oor citizens, the astonishing hold it has secured upon the general mind and the general admiration. Hundreds upon hundreds of dollars, are being forced upon his acceptance, by people in every condition of life, from the. humblest mechanic, to the proudest millioniare.- Even little children send him notes enclosing the tiny 6ums hoarded up to purchase toys for Christmas; while the widow and the orphan present their mite, as a contribution to Heaven through its accredited min ister. Whenever he speaks hearts and purses open, andiihe financial current trickles into the course he indicates. Dinners, suppers, meetings, sermons, lec tures, essays,'poems and addresses, all are made subservient to his purpose and advantageand even the women, determined not to be lelt behind in the enthusiastic delirium, call public meetings on their own account to collect, at $5 per ticket, funds for his acceptance. In sober truth, we are all mad—stark, staring Kossuth-mad, in this meridian, and there is no knowing whence, we shall stop in our pleasant delirium. .One feeling seems to animate our-whole community—one object seems to be the aim ol the multitude—and it is fortunate that Kossuth leaves us to go South on Monday, or New York would be come one vast asylum of demented humanity. Col. Webb and Kossuth are said to be exchanging some unpleasant letters. Kossuth asserts that an article written in Vienna, and shown to him in Turkey as about to appear against him in an American paper? did so appear, and Col. Webb desires to know if his paper is the one alluded to. So the matter stands. The public experiment with. Phillips’ Fire Anni bilator, was to have come off yesterday, and parti ally did, but the crowd, dissatisfied with Mr. Phil lips* tardiness in igniting the building, (for the buiider had put in wood that was too green,) broke in, drove Mr. P. and his men away, and burned the place to the ground. Candidly speaking, it was no experiment at all. Mr. Phillips, who is an Eng lishman, did not understand how to keepithe Amer ican public in good humor until he was prepared for the grand ordeal, and the crowd very naturally mistook his dilatory manner lor an attempt to humbug them. We should really like to see a fair test of the value of this invention. If it be worth' less, let us know, it, if not, assume it and let it go. If it be useful, let us have the indubitable proof. We hope, therefore, that another and a fair demonstra tion will be attempted. The divorce case between Mr. and Mrs. Forrest is now up before the Court, and is the theme of much conversation. Mrs. F. is striving to show that her husband was too intimate with Miss Clifton. Mr. F. is trying to show that his wife was ditto with several of hiu friends. ’Tis a melancholy affair alt round. Mr. Brook, the great English tragedian, has made a favorable debut; but he is not considered very extraordinary, ho is so full of mannerism. Yours, OBBsnvxu. Lettor from Lewlstown. Lewistown, Dos. 20th, 1851 Capt. Sandebbon,— Dear Sir: Since I last wrote you many changes have taken place in tho political world. Governors, State Officers, Con gressmen, Assemblymen and County Officers have been nominated and elected throughout our glori ous old Commonwealth, and nobly has Bhe sustuined the reputation" of being the “Keystone State.’’ — With a Democratic Governor, Legislature, and State Officers, we can certainly look'forward with the brightest anticipations to the election of a Demo cratic President; for it is an old saying and a true one, that aB “ Pennsylvania goes so goes the Un iou.” And now that I have mentioned the subject of Presidentrmaking, let me here give you my views, feeble and brief though they be, on this sub ject. The Presidential campaign has opened, and with a bright prospect of success to the Democracy of the Vnion, if they but rally around the standard bearer who will be presented to them by the Na tional Convention in 1852, be he who he may. Sev eral gentlemen have been named for that station, and among the most prominent of all is your highly esteemed fellow-citizen, and “Pennsylvania’s fav orite son,” the Hon. Jakes Buchanan. As a Statesman, he has no superiors—-but few equals. Whether on the floor of the an Ambassador to a foreign country, or as a nW&iber of the Cabinet of the lamented Polk, he has always shown himself to be the “giant of intellect,” the friend*of his the true friend and supporter of the laboring-man, and last, though not least, a steady, upright and honest Democrat of the Jeffer sonian school. Pennsylvania has never yet had a candidate for the Presidency. She ia one of the original thirteen States, and to be thus entirely overlooked, during the long period since we have declared our Inde pendence, is an slight that can be remedied only by her insisting upon the candidate in 1852, and that candidate the Hon. James Buchanan. If Pennsylvania is true to herself he will be the candidate —will be the President. That the masses of the people of our State, as well as those in a ma jority ortho other States, look upon James Buch anan as the most available candidate that can be presented (or their suffrages, cannot be.denied the « Lancasterisn”-and “ kindred spirits” to the con trary notwithstanding. _ Georgia and Kentucky have taken the lead in this campaign. Pennsylvania will Burely not be behind, or, if in the back-ground, will not long remain there. Already have a majority of the leading and influen tial counticß in the State declared their preference for Mr. Buchanan, and that a majority ofthosewho are ye.t to elect delegates will follow the example thuß set, we have not the least doubt. Had the matter been.taken into consideration in this county in August last —or, in other words, had the announcement been made by the Chairman of the County, Committee, that the delegate to be elected to our State Convention, to Bend delegates to the National Convention, would bo (mtrucled for any particular candidate, the friends of Mr. Bu chanan would have beaten the Caas men threo to one. No such announcement having boon made, the pooplo. according to custom, elected their del egate*—37 In numbor. The delegates so oleoted assembled at tho Town Hull, In this borough, on Monday, August 4th, >SI, to nominate candidates Ibr tkolr respective county office*, fco. to. Davis Bates, Esq., was appointed as tho dele gate to tho State Convention, with instruction* to Support Gen. Cass. Now, as I have before stated, had this game been understood, oven as late a* the day on which theConventlonassembled, the Mend* or Mt. Buchanan would have triumphed. It was not known until many of Mr. B>s friend* had voted (or Mr. Bates that'he was a Cass man, but then It was too late. , , • From this statement yod can see, perhaps, now the friends of Gen. Cass appoint their delegates in i this section of country, ana very likely this is the way they do it in others. To the, “Canal influ ence that was eierted to procure the result, I may r refer in a future letter. ' ID* Tlie Democratic Conveotionheld in Mercer on the.Bth inst., instructed their Delegates to the 4th-of March Conyention/to support Mr. Cass for the Presidency;: Xs’Mercer is connected with Ve nango and Warren in Representative and Senatorial Districts, she will, no doubt, be voted down by the latter counties, both of which are for Mr. Buchajt- { An.— *Crawford Democrat. . The Ohio river was frozen over last week, above and below the falls, for the first time in ten years.. U7* Hon. Joel R. Poinsett, formerly Minister to Mexico, Secretary of War under Gen. Jackson, &c.; &c. died, on the 12th inst., at his residence in South Carolina, aged 73 years. Congress have not been doing much as yet, nor will they, we presume, until alter the holidays. The debate on Gen. Foote’s Compromise resolution, is still going on in the Senate. REVIEW OF THE LANCASTER MARKETS. FLOUR, superfine, “ extra, White Wheat, Red, ' jlo.
