On the one hand, the Democracy of Lancaster county have presented to them their old, long-tried and faithful fellow citizen, who bas 'food by them, shoulder to shoulder, iti'many a hard fought battle field, and who ranks, at this moment, among the greatest of living- stateinien i—on the other, they have a man whose whole public life has been an eyesore to the Democracy of the State, who has done more 6 distract and divide the party in Penn sylvania than any other ten men residing within its broad limits, and who for weeks and months has been laboring incessantly to get the control Of the Democracy of this County, so that he may use them to advance his own selfish and unhallowed purposes. DEMOCRATS OF LANCASTER COUNTY! Which of these two men will you choose to be the standard bearer of your time-honored and long cherished principles? It is for you to say at the Delegate Elections, on. Saturday next. You are acquainted with. both these men, and knoW them, personally and politically, as well as we do. You have knoWn them long and intin - kately, andare con- Versant with their whole history. Nothing, therefore,: that we could say 'about the merits of the one, or demerits of the other, would add anything to your own personal knowledge. It is an imperative duty devolving upon you—and the decision cannot be avoided any longer—to say which of them shall have your confidence and support, which of them shall be sustained by the voice of Lancaster county in the ensuing State Convention. Even if it were probable that Gen. Cuss had a good chance of again receiving the nomination, which he has slot, and were he elected President of the United States, who would you wish to see his chief counselfor and confidential adviser, so far as our own State is con cerned, LUMEN BUCHANAN or SIMON CAMERON?— The former, of course, could not be—the latter, in all human probability, would be " the power behind the throne greater than the throne itself!" And what kind of influence would that be—what sort of a Democratic party would we then have in Pennsylvania, with SIMON CAMERON at its head? We leave these questions to be answered by each Democrat in the County fo'r himself. The Demo. crats of this ancient City and County many years ago unfurled their political banner and gave its folds to the breeze—and, from that day to this, although it has encountered many a storm and been fiercely assailed in many a conflict, it still floats proudly and gallantly over the Spartan band of six thousand true and-tried men who rally around it. Artifice and treachery have often essayed, and are even now attempting to tear it down from its lofty position; but it is still upheld Joy the genuine. Democracy of the county, and can never be prostrated and tram pled under foot by secret or open enemies to the republican faith. We call upon our Democratic friends throughout the county to be active and vigilant at the Dele gate Elections, so that men may be elected to the County Convention who will honestly and faithful ly carry out the wishes of their constituencies.— No man who is at all acquainted with Public sen timent, can have a lingering doubt as to the wishes of our people on the .subject of the Presidency.— Nine-tenths of the Democracy of the City and County, we have not a doubt, are strongly and warmly in favor of Mt. Boca-mix ; but to have their wishes carried into effect, they must attend the primary meetings. and select such delegates as will reflect truly their sentiments. FELLOW DEMOCRATS ! We have discharged our duty in the matter—and we now as, as a last yewd of advice, urge you to a prompt, energetic and' faithful discharge of your's. We have done. Emissaries at Work! Lancaster.county is full of emissaries from other sections of the Sfate. This city was visited in the beginning of last week, by Gen. Cameron from Dauphin, his brother Tames from Northumberland, and his son-in-law, Burnside from Centre county= and on Saturday B. F. Brewster, of Philadelphia, passed up to Marietta, made a speech there, abus• ing Mr. Bucaezvxtr, and intends, it is said, remain ing in that neighborhbod, electioneering against Mr. BacirAnstr, until after the delegate elections on Sat urday next. fames 'Cameron also remains here.— In addition. it is said that Middletown money is un usslly abundant just now. . What say our Democratic friends throughout the county, to this interference by this batch of corrupt politicians in our primary elections/. Are our friends willing.to stand it and permit, such'politi cal desperadoes to operate against, and retail the vilest'slanders upon, their old and faithful fellow citizen, Mr. Buchanan ? It is a base insult to the Democracy of Lancaster county, and should he re- . sented in such a way as will teachJbe miscreants a lesson for all time to come. Fellow Democrats! These men, by their con duct in coming amongst you with money and speeches, attempt to treat you as though you were Russian)serfs or slaves, who are compelled to fol-' low their bidding! Will you submit to such base indignity ?, Will you be willing to fold your arms and permit these emissaries of the Middletown Bank ,to strike down, at his. own home, your venerable and venerated citizen ? We answer for you, never IM=l3 113 The Pennsylvanian is battling bravely for its favorite,' Mr. Buchanan. .13e careful friend " Mae that your zeal for the noble Pennsylvanian does not lead you to say some bard things of other talented Democrats. While you say all the good you can of "old Buck," say nothing evil of other Democratic Statesmen. It will not benefit your candidate, but do him harm. The above, which we clip from the Baltimore Argus, is an excellent piece of advice, but was not needed in the quarter to which it is directed.— Neittlbr the Pennsylvanian or any other paper friendly to Mr. Bocinutsar, to our knowledge, has said aught against any of the distinguished gentle men named in connexion with the Presidency. On the_contrary, they have treated them with all pro per courtesy and respect, and in this particular present a marked contrast to the course several papers, ostensibly friendly to Gen. Cuss, have seen proper to pursue. We do not include in this list the Argus, as that paper has never condescended, we believe, to retail any of the abominable slang against Mr. Bircasstsir which appears from time to time in the Philadelphia Statesman and Harris burg ,Keystone. The Argus is too, respectable a paper for that still a lecture to them, on the im propriety of their conduct, would have had much more meaning in it, than the one conveyed in the above shokt article directed to the Pennsylvanian. We hope, therefore, that our worthy cotemporary of Baltimore, for whose abilities we have the high est respect, and whose sense of honor no one ever doubted, will turn his attention in the other direc tion alluded to, and read them a lesson in good Imanners. The advice of the Argus is excellent in its place, but it ought to be given where it is most needed. llj - The Directors of the Harrisburg Railroad Company have closed a contract for the entire re. construction of the road from Dillerville to Harris burg. TherM . Neal' . and — the New. The ohl year has just closed, and we - have stepped .upon the thresholdof the new. The coming oft'n . finportnit period in . thenoer-ceasing light of Time, is calcitlated to turizourrallectiona to the past, and to lead - to del resolves :cor the tonne. The year .1851 hal hien tii =the United States one - of nnez ampled prosperity. Its 'progrernr: . has=; been : marked by anyad thcree:dire events which are so common to the nations itif the earth, but peace and . happiness have reigned supreme within the botders of out favored land. In the workings of the gov ernpaent there has been a harmony of , all its owner parts. No conflicts of authOrity have tended to distract or alienate one portiOn from another— no determined opposition , to the IaWS has brought into collision the governors with the governed, but the rulers have' . shown wisdom, and the people obedience. It is true that the hot breath of fanati cism has been blown upon, the unsullied integrity of the nation, yet no spot has stained its brightness, The cry of "disunion" was raised, but it' excited ridicule and contempt by , ,the insignificance of its tone. Our glorious Union has too so lid a foundation to be sundered, for its base is the affections of the - people. In every branch of trade and industry there has been prosperity. Our commerce has been ex-1 tended—our ships multiplied twenty fold—our in temal improvements vigorously and successfully prosecuted—our cities beautified by the erection of public and private edifices. .The use of steam in ocean navigation has been so generally adopted, that steamships are arriving at and departing from our principal ports every day, and 'European intel: ligence is looked for twice or thrice a week. Our own citizens, deeply impressed with the importance of employing this wonderful power upon the ocean, have established a line of steamers between this port and Liverpool, and others are in agitation. The distant and newly settled portions of our confederacy have been not less prosperous than those upon the Atlantic. The new State of Cali fornia has made rapid advances towards the high position she is destined to attain. Her inexhausti ble mineral wealth is just beginning- to he devel oped, while her agricultural productions are already equal in size, quality and quantity to those of some of the 'old States. Science and art have contributed to lessen the dangers'and shorten the route to the land of gold, and the. robber of the Isthmus may soon lament over his "occupation gone." All that is now wanted to secure a permanent prosperity to California are wise laws, and stern and honest ad- ministratcirs of them. While we, on this side of the Atlantic, have been thus steadily prospering, the nations of the "Old World" have not been so highly, favored Many changes have taken place—cruel and bloody wars have been fought—pestilence and famine have gone hand in hand over empires, spreading ruin and desolation in their path. In most instances too, tyranny has triumphed, and despotism has tram pled out the last sparks of human liberty. Mil lionshave had the chains of slavery• riveted the more tightly around them, until freedom has scarce ly. a resting place in all Europe. All this should serve the more to strengthen our affection for the Government under which we live, and to heighten our estimate upon its harmonious workings. And in-contemplating the future, resolve that no consid eration shall tempt us to aim a blow at the Union. —Philadelphia News. Er The French Revolution, it is remarked by the Philadelphia N. American, was attended with a greater destruction of life Ahan the intelligence at first received led to suppose had taken place II 1 , stated in a private letter, written from Paris, by an American gentleman, who occupied a commanding point of view on Ate Boulevard des Italiens, during the scenes of massacre, that no confidence can be placed in the repots of the Government newspapers at Paris as regards the extbnt of destruction end slaughter. Describing" the scene in one quarter, the writer alludedito says " I had not been, long in my position before the military commenced marching up the Boulevard. They were composed of Infantry, Rifle Artillery, Cavalry and Landers. Their head had arrived at Rue Richelieu, in full view of us—the firing com menced. A tremendous discharge of musketry on each side' of the Boulevard upon the head of the Lancers was the first I witnessed. It staggered them for a moment ;•they returned the fire with spirit, with pistols, but I should judge with little effect; but the firing from the windows was most deadly for the time, for they appeared to fall like grass before the Scythe. The cannon farther up the Boulevard commenced to roar, and the scene was awful. ft had commenced in a quarter where • it was least expected, and so suddenly that persons on the side-walk had not time to escape. Every person through the whole Boulevard seen at the windows was immediately shot down by the troops. On Boulevard Montmortre the scene was more dreadful—and although the soldiers were called out for a noble (') purpose, yet had the citizens the spirit of freemen, there would not have been hardly a sol dier left to return to his barracks. On this Boule vard .141ontmortre the persons on the side-walks had no time to escape) when the firing commenced, so they huddled together in groups, and tried every door to escape, but found all fastened against them, and some 100 or more were thus shot down in cold blood. No mearis of defenee, and none to help them some twenty rushed to a gate to enter, but found that closed,land all except one man was shot down; and this one man came forward, opened his coat, threw up hiS arms, and begged his life, but they,shot him down, and after there were no more to butcher, one, more refined than the rest, steps to the mass of 15 or 20 unfortunate victims, dying and wounded, and exercised the magnanimity of the French soldiei. by plunging his bayonet into all in whom he saw ;signs of life. " These people are respectable men, who had been attracted to the street by curiosity or busi ness, and were not of the mob, and were unarmed. A Voice from Mississippi The'Democracy of Jasper county, Mississippi, at their county meeting on the 6th of December, to elect delegates to the State Convention, passed a series of resolutions re-affirming the old doctrines of the party, declaring their adhesion, withotit re gard to the divisions of "Union - and State Rights, to the Democratic party of the Union, upon the Baltimore platform, and in favor of JAMES Brien- ARAN for the P i residenoy. The Eastern Clarion , (Miss.,) says that the Democracy of that vicinity "will. go into . the Presidential contest with spirit, unanimity and enthusiasm, their choice being from every indication 6t popular:sentiment for Buchanan of Pennsylvania:, The following; are two of the resolutions: "That the Deinocracy of Jasper without refer ence to the late divisions of ' Union'. and State Rights,' are proud to avow their fraternity with, and devotion to the great principles of the Demo cratic party of the Union, as declared at the Na tional Democratic Conventions, held at Baltimore, '3B, '4O, '44 and '4B; and they look forward in hope and confidence to their re-assertion and com plete triumph ini 1852." " That we recognise in the Hon. James Buchanan of Pennsylvania; a patriot and a statesman, a sound consistent Denticrat, for more than thirty years a bold and fearless defender of the constitutional rights of all sections of the confederacy, a man of ability and integrity, worthy to receive the undivi ded support of the Democracy of Mississippi, for the Chief Magiitracy of the nation." 0:• We had the pleasure or meeting LYND &tor, Esq., last week, in this city. Mr. E. is one of the Assistant 'E,ditors of the Pittsburg Post, and in that capacity has won high honor. He was en route for Harrisburg, and we are informed that he will be a Candidate for Clerk of the House of Re presentatives of ihe Pennsylvania Legislature. If ardent devotion Ito Democracy, and - strict , probity, .are worthy of cenaideration, the claims of Mr. E. will certainly command respect.

This result gives, Mr. B. four more delegates in the State Convention. " • ; Cumberland for Bucbanani The Democratic Convention of Cumberland County met at Carlisle, on yesterday, and appoint ed Col. Lewis Ryer, William Barr, and Abraham Lamberton, Esq., delegates to the State. Convention: They are all three the warm and devoted, friends Ai( -Mr.-Buenas:ale, and are instructed to support him from first to last. They are, also instructed for. JOHN B. BRAXTON, Esq., for Canal Commis- stoner. This gives three more delegates to Mr Buchanan Col. S. C. Stambaugh. The personal and political friends of this gentle man, (and they are numerous-in this county and State,) will rejoice to bear of his return once more to his native home. It is well known that he has for many years been compelled to separate from home, family and friends, for the purpose of fulfilling a con tract entered into with a portion of the Cherokee Nation of Indians, and during the last year he has been absent in the Cherokee country and western Arkansas, awaiting the paynient of upwards of eight hundred thousand dollars appropriated by Congress.. n account of, the claim which he had presented on tbeir behalf ten years previously. He has succeeded in the object of his late mission, and we will Say, in speaking for those who know him best, that he will always succeed in a good cause, if ability, skill, prudence and indomitable energy and perseverance, can be successful. At the same time, we feel war ranted in saying that he never will engage or Perse vere in the prosecution of a bad one, even if the' highest political or pecuniary advantages were in volved in the issue. Col. S. reached Lancaster in the southern train of cars on new year's day, and immediately went to " AritranAtc," his beautiful residence one mile north of this City, accompanied by a fair delega tion of his friends, who partook with hiEn his "birth day" dinner. Various toasts were drank by the friends of Pennsylvania's choice and favorite can ' didete for the Presidency, exhibiting kind feeling t n -1 ward all the other distinguished men whose names are now before the country, presented by the de mocracy for that distinguished office." We hail 1 Stambaugh's return arthis time as a good omen.— He has always, when in the political arena:, been ' considered one of the ablest, most sagacious , and successful campaigner in a hard contest, and one of the most powerful political writers in the country, containing prudence, courage and energy with un wavering integrity, always prompt in his action.— We also hail' his return as a personal friend, whose sincerity, whole souled, noble and generous na ture, has become a bye word amongst those who know him best. A Great Undertaking. In a letter published in the London News, im mediately after his escape from Piris, Louis Blanc declares the following to be ;the purposes of Louis Napoleon, and the absolute monarchs of EurrMe , To divided Enrope into three great empires—a Russian empire, extending to Constantinople; an Austrian empire, with the definitive annexation of Italy; a French empire with the addition of Bel gium. From this new holy alliance between three great despotic empires to cause to arise a war to the death against the Democratic party, and against the-Liberal and Constitutional party; to extinguish beneath the armies, tread out what the absolutists call the revolutionary flame—that is to say, whatever lights the human spirit on the way of progras.—and if Englund resists to crush. tier • " Such is the plan (who can doubt it longer!) —such is the sacrilegious plan of which the sack of Paris is the commencement, and for the accom• plishment of which Louis Bonaparte has aelivered France into the hands of French Cossacks. The State Legislature.

McCreary, of Elkton, Md., who is the mail con tractor between that place and Chesnut Level, having made himself obnoxious to some Pennsyl vanians, in consequence of his efforts to arrest fugi tive slaves, a posse of them, a few nights ago, made an attempt to arrest him in a house near Lancaster. He, however, successfully defended himself with a bowie knife, and on one of them raising to fend off a blow, he drew a revolver and, put a ball through a board, barely missing, his iissallant. They immediately after left the house, and Mr. McCreary, hastened back to'iMarylan4.—Exantiner. [l7° The Boston Commonwealth states the city fire alarm telegraph is nearly completed. It adds. Forty-nine miles of wire have been stretched over the city, diving under the arms of the sea which separate its main portion from South and East Boo ton. The first of the forty, cast iron signal boxes has been placed on the Reservoir in Hancock street, These will be so distributed that every house in the city will be within fifty rods of one. Whenever a fire occurs, resort will be had to the nearest box, where, by turning a crank, instantaneous communi cation will be made to the central office, and from that—which stands related to the whole fire depart ment of the city like the brain to the nervous sys tem—instant knowledge will be communicated to the seven districts into which the city is divided, by so striking the alarm bells simultaneously that the locality' of the fire will be kndwn exactly to all. This system, the perfect success; of which is now certain, will stand forth as one of the finest achiev meats of scientific skill, and a source of just pride to Boston. BonoLeas ABOUT.—We learnfroin the country people that different parts of the'county, especially Manor and West Hempfield townships, are infested with burglars, who exhibit the most daring bold ness. On Friday night, the 26th' ult., the cellar of Mr. Benjamin Herr, in Manor twp., was entered by thieves, who when they were diSeovered had-gath ered a large number of articles which they intended carrying off. Mr. H., who was; awakened by the noise of the party, on lookidg out of a window saw a large negro on the cellar steps.

As an individual I sympathized deeply with you in your brave struggle for, the independence and freedom of your native land.

For I➢e Intelnge, By Column, Forward! MARIETTA IN MOTION. The Late Wire atthe Capitol. A correspondent wyiting.from Washington gives the following paiiiculars respecting the Library of . Congress, which was destroyed by the fire: "4-forthe book4destroyed, there were souse Baal& thousand of valuable works, and of good :editions; kut thete were also some ten thousand SFolurcies,•more or less, of what might be called • .worthless,.trash, also destroyed—books not worth . thee rise-room they occupied, for practical purpo ses btkt still necessary to a complete library. The• most valuable series lost were the re cords of the British Parliament from the time of of William the Conqueror. These, we- understand, cannot - be replaced, even by the English Govern ment, there being no series extant so nearly corn plate. We send you a leaf from one of these boo's, picked up among the rubbish. The leaf enclosed , is from the Parliamentary proceedings of - 1384, folio, in the French language, with the captions of the chapters in Latin. Next is the Library of Mr: • Jefferson, of 7000 volumes, including many bearing • the marginal notes of that great republican apostle io his own hand writing. In, this respect, and as • the nucleus of the late library of Congress, the brary of Mr. Jefferson was intrinsically by all odds the most valuable list of books consumed. A large '„ portion of this catalogue is, however, saved. "Con gress paid $23,000 for the catalogue,. The geo graphical alcove embraced a considerable number • of very ancient and valuable books, including six folio volumes in Latin,. printed in the sixteenth century, and adorned with numerous engrav,ngs,, illustrative of the aborigines, from Virginia to Bra zil, and of the feats of Columbus, De Soto, De Le on, Cortez, Pizarro', &c. There were also in this •:'' alcove several very ancient Italian and Spanish works on geography. The large books, of about three feet by two, of illustrations of Egypt, pub- fished by the French goVernment, tinder the order of Narleon, and prelaced by the scientific corps attendine-his Egyption expedition; were of great ~.• value; but we presume they can be, and will M, replaced by the government of Frande. We understand that the total of appropriations - for the library books amounts to $192,000 out of the Treasury; but the books presented by foreign governments and private individuals, will, no doubt, make the total loss of books, pictures, maps, charts and medals, $250,000, making due allowances for I the 25,000, volumes saved, by being in anothe room, separated by a thick will from the mai . Library. The library room occupied the front of the cen tral building of the Capitol, looking west, being in the second story, and on the same general ground level with the two houses of Congress, as the Ro- • tondo. It was 92 feet long 34 wide, and 30 feet f in height, with an arched ceiling, and three sky lights. On each side was a rage of alcoves, which supported an upper gallery, alsostowed with books. . Altogether, this library room was an exceedingly beautiful specimen of Corinthian architecture= The damage to the building by the fire, woappre bend, cannot. be repaired short of the sum of $50,000. Kossouth and Intervention. At the banquet given by the New York Bar about two weeks ago, KOSSUTH was received will much enthusiasm. After a brief introduction b Judge Jones, and an address of welcome, for th Bar, from Judge Sanford, Kossuth rose and replie. In one of his usual able and eloquent speeches, i which he referred to the objections of many person that intervention on the part of the United State might lead to war between her and Russia, in cas the latter should disregard our declaration. On thi point he remarked Well, lam not the man to decline the conse quences of my principles. [Great laughter an loud applause I will not steal into your sympatb by slippery evasion. Yes, gentlemen, I confess should Russia not respect such a declaration o your country, then you are obliged—literally obli ged to go to war, or else be prepared to be degrade before mankind from your dignity. [Applause. Yes=l . confess that would be the case. But you are powerful enough to defy any po i tver on earth in a just cause, as your Washington's—and' so may God help me, as it'is true, that never was there yet a more just cause. [Applause.] There was enough of war on earth for ambition ,' or egotistical interest—even for womanly whims -1 give to humanity the glorious example of a great people going even to war, not fur egotistical interest, but for justice, for the law of nations, for the law of nature and of nature's God—and it will be no great mischief after all. [Applause.] It will be the noblest, the greatest glory which a nation yet has earned, nobler and greater than any nation yet has earned, and its greatest benefit will be, that it will be the last war, because it will make the laws of nations to become a reality, which nobody will dare violate, seeing them put under the safeguard of all humanity. It will be the last war, because it will make nations contented—contented because free. (Applause.) And what still must be foremostly considered you have nothing to fear by that war for your own country—for your own security. If it were other. wise, I never would have pronounced that wish. But I,am certain that there is not a single citizen of the United States, who would not agree with me that there is no plausible issua of that supriosed war which could affect the security of your own country.
