Bills having declined the nomination for Auditor on the Detnocratie County Ticket, the County Committee have substituted the name of NATUAN WORLEY, of Manheim Borough—he hav ing been the next highest in vote before the County Convention. Democrats are You Assessed"! This is an important duty, and should not be' ne. glected, but immediately attended to. Upon this may depend your right St suffrage. Remember that the law of the State requires you to be assessed TEN DAYS before the election, and pay a State or - county tax within two years. Unless this duty be strictly performed you Will be denied one of the highest privileges known in our free republican Government—THE RIGHT TO VOTE. Stick to the Ticket We hope no Democrat in the county will for one moment think of scratching the County Ticket— idle rumors to the contrary, notwithstanding. The! gentlemen selected for the various offices, from! Congress doivo, are all well-known and tried, Democrats, who have been faithful to their! party obligations, and whose general character probity and intelligence. are, a sufficient guarantee; that, if elected, they will discharge their duty hon-; estly and faithfully, and to the entire satisfaction of, the people of the county. It seems to be admitted! on all bands that in point of general intelligence, ! : good moral character, and business qualifications , : they are far in advance of their competitors on the Whig ticket. Then why should any of them be, struck 't We know of no earthly reason, and we are sure every good Democrat will hesitate long before he consents in - his own mind to 'commit so suicidal an ac . ts, Tire-candidates were all fairly placed upon the ticket—and, although some of our friends may have , had other preferences, still as good Democrats, recoguk;ing the great republican prin ciple that the will of the majority when fairly ofi tamed is binding on every member of the party ; we are sure they will feel themselves obligated to, support the ticket as it is—"the whole ticket, and nothing but the ticket. Should this be done—al though we may not be able to elect any portion Of our ticket, we shall give it such a vote as will ma terially diminish the boasted Whig majority in this county, and show to our brethren throughout the Commonwealth that, although in an almost hope : less minority, the Democracy are as true as steel to their ,principles and to the candidates who are the representatives of those principles. We, there fore, earnestly urge upon all our Democratic friends to STICK TO THE TICKET. Tremendous Rally! The Democratic meeting, in this city, on Satrir day evening last, was a perfect avalanche of free men. In the afternoon a beautiful hickory pole, with a flag and streamer attached to it, was raised in front of Sampson Resh's Hotel, in North Queen street—and in the evening a large number of Dein ocrats assembled there, including ab'orit 175 from Columbia, who were addressed by Capt. Geo. San derson. They then formed in Procession and mar ched to the Court House, to the sound of music, where an immense crowd. had already assembled• The meeting was then re-organized by the appoiiit ment of the following officers, viz: President—JAMES L. REYNOLDS, Esq. Vice Presidents—Col. John Barr, Michael Mc- Grann, Dr. John Given, Michael. Barry, 'F. C. Wiley, M. D. Holbrook, John Black, Capt. James Don nelly, Jacob M. Strickler. Secretaries—Dr. N. B. Wolfe, Henry S. Miers, Dr. Samuel Welchans, John M. Johnston. After the organization, DANI EL DOUGHERTI, Esq., who was in town by invitation of the Pierce and King Club, was introduced to the meeting by Wm. Mathiot, Esq. His speech was a most masterly exposition of the principles of the Democratic party —and in a strain of impassioned aad burnin,g elo quence, he held the vast crowd spell-bound,:for one hour and a halt, which was only interrupted at in tervals by their frequent bursts of applause It was one of the most eloquent political speech 6 we have ever listened to, and the only regret Of all present was that be did not speak at least an hour longer. 4 At the conclusion of Mr. Dougherty's address, Dr. WOLFE, of Columbia, being called upon made a few pertinent remarks—when a resolutiOn of thanks to Mr. Dougherty for his able and eloquent speech was passed, and the meeting adjourned at a quarter before 10 o'clock. Get your Tickets in Time. We commence printing the Democratic COunty Ticket today. The different township and borough Committees, throughout the county, can be sup plied by calling at this office. Woodward and Hopkins A:desperate effort is being made by the whigs to diminish the vote of these gentlemen by personal attacks upon them. The miserable and often ex ploded slander of Nativeism, re-vamped against Judge Woonwssin, is circulated, with uncommon industry, with a variety of groundless additions to suit each locality it is intended for; and it is also attempt, d to connect Col. Hornuss with the exist ing diffi, ulty between the Canal Commisioners and ' the Pennsylvania railroad company. Will not all democitt's readily perceive what is the object of these cii nningly devised tricks? If either Woos wean w - Horxtris can be defeated in October, what chance ttill there be to carry PIERCE and Kiss in Notteml,,tr? Just in proportion as the vote of eith er Of th , in can be reduced, just so much better chance will the whigs have for carrying the State for Scos-r. Every democrat, therefore, who casts his 'yote against either of them directly .opposes PIERCE and Rise and the party whose candidates they are. The charge of Nativism against Judge W 000• WARD has too often been proved false, malicious and libelous to require further reference to it from us. It is a groundless, contemptible, exploded charge, and no honest man will again, if any ever haVe, utter it against him. The man who utter s it, lies, .shamefully lies, and if he has a conscience. must lie in the face of its admonition that he is slandering an honest man 'who never injured him, a warmhearted and liberal-minded man whose every inclination is to serve his fellow men to the extent of his capacity, e man of exalted talents, admitted worth, and unimpeachable integrity, who would adorn any public station, a man whose great pOwers of mind, admitted genius and purity of character while life lasts will make him the pride and boast not only of hosts of devoted friends but of the entire State. Such a man can never be kept down by slander and detraction, but whether in or out of office must ever exercise a powerful and commanding influence. !No tangible objection has been raised to Co HoPKINS. His honesty and capacity to fill with efficiency and profit to the State the office for which he is nominated, is not questioned by his opponents. But they hope to divert democratic votes from him along the line of the Pennsylvania railroad, by identifying him with the existing difficulty between that company and the Canal Commissioners. It is not pretended that he has had any connection with that transaction, or that he has expressed or enter tains any opinions about it, but JAMEY HOFFMAN, his opponent, has pledged himself to the railroad, and it is therefore attempted to induce the friends of the company to vote against Col. HOPKINS. We appeal to every democrat not to permit his vote to be caught with such bait. The object is not to effect the ends pretended, but to defeat WOOD WARO and HOPKINS, or one or the other of them. so as to add to Scorr's chances of carrying the State. This object must be evident to every man who reflects on the subject, and we therefore ap peal to every democrat to vote for the nominees of his party, and to treat with contempt the petty 'subterfuges by which it is attempted to array him in opposition to its regular nominees. It is all sheer humbug, and has no oaer purpose than to give the vote of the State to Gen. SCOTT. Demo 'crats, be on your guard—whiggery is an adept at trickery, humbug and chicanery.—Keystone. Irr The Whig orators and presses are just now busily engaged • in the fruitless attempt to place Gen. Scott on a par with Gen. Washington as a pa triot and statesman. It is a ridiculous assumption I and should be frowned down by the American peo- I ple. The world never produced but one Washing bun, so patriotic and so unselfish in all his aspi rations. Gen. Washington conducted the eight ; years, war of the Revolution without having re ceived any compensation whatever, over and above his necessary expenses, from the Government, and when. the war was ended voluntarily relinquished the sword for the plough. But no so with General Scott. He has already received nearly three hun dred thousand dollars for his services in the army, and in addition to this a number of years ago he desi. ed to have his name placed upon the pension roll, by which operation he would have received double the salary he is now receiving as a Major ' General. Failing in that he is now seeking an elec tion to the Presidency, (an office for which he is totally unfitted by education and experience,) by which he could add another hundred thousand dol lars to the large lortune he has already made off the country. Like Washington, forsooth ! The attempted com parison is worse than sacrilege—it is supremely ab surd and wicked.' A Fire in the Rear The Catholic Mirror, a paper neutral in poli tics, thus speaks of Wm. E. Robinson, the famous Whig Stump orator of New York, who has LENT his services for pay, to rake up a nr.morous TEST in the ensuing canvass. "WILLIAM E. Rontssos.—We suffered ourselves a few days ago to read over a speech recently delivered by the creature whose name forms our caption. The object of this string of low vulgar isms is to instruct the Irish Catholics how to vote at the approaching Presidential election. We do not intend to waste many words upon this misera ble man, who seeks to make political merchandise of his countrymen at every election that occurs ; for, unfortunately for him, we know him well.— The speech before us is the most consummate piece of puppyism we have ever read. We know not what other epithet to apply to the unblushing impudence of such a man, undertaking to lecture Irish Catholics how they shall exercise a right which they do not value as a matter to be bought and sold by political gamblers. At one time there was a prospect of this Robinson securing for him self the confidence and respect of his countrymen, but the nature of the man soon manifested itself.— He is now regarded by Irishmen of all parties as one only suited to do the dirty work of his pay masters, and consequently only entitled to their most sovereign contempt. If. Mr. Robinson chooses to do the dirty work of politicians, we caution him to leave Catholics and Catholicity out of his lec tures and speeches. He has no sympathy with eith er; his protessed sympathy and himself are despised. He cares no more for Catholics than the best Derry educated Orangeman in Ireland. This is our opin ion, and we will venture to say that every one o our contemporaries will endorse it." All the Decency At the recent commencement of Jefferson Col_ lege the degree of Doctor of Laws was conferred upon Judge Bzscx, whereupon a Whig editor re marks that the initials L. L. D. means that the Judge will "lie like damnation;" and this chaste and beaOtiful expression is copied and endorsed by P. C. Sedgwick, the Prothonotary of the Supreme Court, over which the man thus villified presides. We fully concur with the Editor ot the Investigator, that "none but a brazen-faced villain could look the the Judge in the face after such an attempt to dis grace the highest tribunal in the State, and that the Court owe it to themselves to kick the defamer out, if they have the power, and if not, to make his place a little too hot to hold him." Such a vile insult, from such a source, is unpar alleled even in the annals of Whig calumny. Druwore Aroused A large and respectable meeting of the Democ, racy of Drumore and the adjacent townships, was held at the public house of J. A. Moore, (Drumore Centre,) on Friday last. The officers were as fol lows: President.--WILLIAM BARNES. Vice Presidents—Robt. Montgomery, Samuel B. Moore, George Hughes, S. P. Moore, Maj. S. Broome, William Hays, Arthur M'Kissick. Secretaries—Col. David Laird, John S. Morton, Isaac Sharp, Robert Evans. The Strasburg Brass Band was in attendance, and the meeting was addressed by Messrs. Sanderson, Reynolds, Mendenhall, Johnston, Frazer & Myers. Wrx.r.Lut Losromett, a prominent English pulisher, has tried in vain to find an editor to pre pare a new edition of Johnson's Dictionary, and has adopted the Revised Edition of Webster, Unabrid ged, by Goodrich, as a perfect English standard. 111 The charge has been very industriously cir culated by the Whigs, and is also promulgated through the colurns of the Examiner & Herald, that Messrs. ScUZAFPER and M'Cuctnuott, two of the Democratic candidates for the Assembly, are pledg ed in favor of. the Maine Liquor Law, and also that -a "corrupt coalition" exists between the Demo crats and the' Temperance men, through which those gentlemen were placed hist on the Demo cratic, and then on the Temperance ticket. The whole charge, from beginning to ecd, is entirely destitute of foundation, and to prove its falsity we call the attention of our readers to the following A Whig Trap for Democrats. Mn. Enixon :--On my return from York county last evening, I saw in the Examiner & Herald, un der the head of "Temperance Ticket' - -the fol lowing: " No nominations were made for the other officers, Messrs. Schaeffer and M'Cullough are also on the Democratic ticket, -having been placed there, as was stated in the Temperance Convention, WITH THE UNDERSTANDING that they would be put on the Maine-Law ticket." As I leave this morning for Chambersburg, I have not time to reply at length to the whole edi torial of Mr. Darlington ; but wish to say 'that the above statement is " false in all its length and breadth—false in the aggregate, and false in de tail." No such statement was made in the Temper ance Convention. Had such a statement been made there, - or any where else, it would have been as false as the above from the pen of Mr. Darlington —or somebody else. No such understanding was ever had. The statement made in the Coniention in reference to these gentlemen was made by my self in the following words, viz: " The Democratic Convention knew the character and sentiments of Messrs Scheaffer and M'Cullough on the subject of temperance before they were settled." (I would here remark in adddition, that we temperance men have never received any pledge from either of those men, nor am I aware that any has been given by them.) No allusion was made to any "under standing about the Maine-law ticket," for the sim ple reason that no such understanding could have existed. At the time the Democratic ticket was settled, and up to the morning of the Temperance Convention, it was by no means certain that a Temperance ticket would be settled, at all. That Convention was called " to consider the propriety of settling a ticket;" and such was the diversity of opinion among the friends of Prohibition on the subject, that the Executive Committee did not even recommend any particular course, but left the mat ter to be decided by the Convention itself. How then, could any understanding have existed?— Again: Instead of any understanding of the kind, between the Democrats and the friends of Prohibi tion, I know from the most positive evidence, that The Public Expenditures. the Democrats were opposed to our settling any The country knows very well, by sad experience, ticket.

HOPKINS, the democratic candidate for Ca nal Commissioner, is a FARMER. JAKEY Horn- i MAN, the whig nominee for the same office, is a I LAWYER. Nothing would be more gratifying to the democratic party than to see these men on the same stump together, giving their views on the management of the public works to the people.— A lawyer of any talent, while he would be the last man on earth competent to discharge the duties of Canal Commissioner, ought to be a better public speaker than a farmer. Yet the democrats every where are anxious that the candidates for Canal Commi-sioner should meet at some of the princi pal points in the State and discuss the duties of the I office for which they are candidates. The people could in that case decide with unerring certainty which was most competent for the office and which understood their interests most thoroughly ; but they will have no such opportunity, for the whigs do not dare to let their lawyer candidate meet our farmer HOPKINS on the stump. As diminutive mentally and intellectually as physically—a mere dwarf in person and in mind —JAKE! HOFFMAN is blessed with that low species of cunning which can give success to the pettifogger in legitimate pettifogging—that accomplishment which instinctively trails a fip to its hiding place— that which would send him out of the Canal Board a Girard! The singular infatuation which induced the whig convention to nominate him has never been, and will never be explained. Had the whigs intended to burlesque popular elections they could not possibly have hit upon a better expedient than the nomination of Jess! HOFFMAN for Canal Com missioner. . . COL HOPKINS, the democratic candidate, is in every respect well qualified fur Canal Commission er. A practical farmer, his interests are identical with a vast majority of the voters of the State— an experienced statesman, he thoroughly under stands the whole machinery of our improvement system and the measures necessary to secure the economical management of and largest revenue from the public works—honest, able, energetic, pleasant and agreeable in his intercourse with his fellow-citizens, he is every respect peculiarly qual ified to discharge the duties of Canal Commissioner. Between such men the people must decide—be tween them they will not hesitate—Keystonr. Strange--Very ! The Sheriff of Clarion county is now engaged selling out all the Iron•masters in his bailiwick— so say the Whig papers. It is a most singular cir cumstance that just prior to every Presidential and Congressional election for the last twelve years, the Iron men of Clarion have had to undergo the same process, if Whig reports be true—but the mischief is they won't stay sold out. They take a new start immediately atter the election, and we hear nothing more of them in Whig papers for about one year and ten months, when the monetary epidemic again seizes them, and the Sheriff, like a skilful physician, is called upon to administer for their relief. Strange, that so frightful a disease never gets beyond the the limits of Clarion county! GB.REILAL SCOTT ITEPHII SIIRRENIARS. — This was the motto on one of the Whig banners at the late Whig procession in this city. Is the sentiment true? If so, how does it come that he was de feated and taken prisoner by the British in his very first battle—we allude to the affair at Queenstown Heights—in the summer of 1812! Either all the 'histories of the late war with Great Britain that we have ever read are false, or else the abolie mot to is a modern Whig fie. Our readers can judge for themselves as to the truth or falsity of the senti ment. Tan APPROPRIATIONS OF Cosoness.—The ap propriations of the last session of Congress amount to over $41,000,000. The Civil and Diplo matic Appropriations are $8,038,000; Army, $B,. 738,000; Navy, $6,952,000; Poet Office Transpor tation, 7,537,000; Indian Appropriations, $2, 026,- 347; Foreign Mail Steamer, $1,740,000; Deficien les,' $5,500,000; Indefinite Appropriations, $4,500,- 000. Total $47,171,000. The honest tax-payers of the country will be apt to think it high time that the Government was more economically administered, and so thinking will doubtless again restore it to Democratic hands. EY' The Washington Union publishes a card from the Hon. DANIEL JENIFER, of Maryland, late Whig member of Congress and Minister to Austria, renouncing Gen. Scorn, on account of his affilia tion with Abolitionism. Gen. James Shields This gallant soldier and accomplished statesman, who occupies a seat in the U. S. Senate, recently , delivered a speech at Pittsburg, on his way home from Washington city, from which we take the an- 1 nexed extract. The position taken by Senator Shields is one which should induce the patriofic and reflecting portion of the Whig party, to pause awl consider well what they are doing before they cast their votes for a mere soldier to fill the high a: d responsible office of President of the Unßed States—an office which requires all the ability, ex-. perience and knowledge of a sound and able civil ian. The Republics of antiquity commenced their rapid downward career from the moment they look ed to the head of their armies for their highest civ ic rulers. The same fate may await our model Re public, unless we profit by the teachings of history and avoid the rock upon which the ancients split. Let the people beware:— "I- have nothing against Gen. Scott. If he has failings, I do not think it my province to expose them. But lam a Democrat, and on the truth of the principles I profess, I oppose him as a Demo crat. There is one thing, however, which may be urged against Gen. Scott, which has been noticed before this evening—l allude to his Peculiar and ex clusive military character. Here is a man, nearly seventy years old, who hai been all his life a sol dier—and nothing else. Now, fellow-citizens, I ear nestly ask you whether, in view of this fact, (it is an incontrovertible one,) a man of this description can with safety be put at the head of a Democratic government? I feel confident—and I know you will bear me out in the declaration—ithat he cannot be so entrusted. I have served in armies myself. and well do I know the despotism which is essen tial to discipline; for it is not army unless subordi nation and blind obedience be strictly and uncom promisingly enforced. And it is natural that "it should be so. On the one hand we4iave arbitrary command; on the other implicit obedience. YOu cannot make a Democratic President of a man who has no other recommendation than military glory. Washington'and Jackson were, eminent both as ci vilians and warriors. They were soldiers in time l of danger; and when peace was in the land they ? were found in the councils of the nation. It is no thing more than t..e duty of a good citizen to assist the arms of his country in the hour of danger; and it is a poor argument indeed, that would insist Minn the elevation of a military chieftain to the Presi dential chair—the highest civil office in the land— simply on the ground of his having rendered the state good service in the field. Some other qualifi cations are needed, in addition to the merit of mili tary renown." - - ations. During the fir'st three years after Gen. Jackson came into power, the annual cost for carrying on the government, was about $14.000,000, and our population was about fourteen millions. Now, with a population of twenty-three millions the cost of carrying on the government is $50,000,000, double the ratio we paid under Gen. Jackson.— The system is all wrong. It must be checked, or the $50,000,000, will soon be swelled to 6100,000,- 000—to give where it has already gone—to con tractors, jobbers, agents, and Galphins. The de mocracy are now called upon to put forth their best efforts to reform such abuses by the substitu tion of new men for those in power. It will be done.—Buffalo Courier. - GOOD POSTAGE ARRAN GEMENT. — Th e Washing ton correspondent of the N. Y. Commercial writes: The cheap postage system has been much prej udiced by the difficulty of pre-paying postage on letters; one cannot always go in person or send another to pre-pay his letters. It would be a hun dred-fold increase of the postage tax to do this.— Stamps were therefore, prepared and sold by the post offices. But these proved useless, because they were uTrustwortlay;—many have been deterred from using them by the fact that some of them will slip off as fast as put on. I have'mysell noticed many instances wherein a messenger, taking a bag o. letters to the city post office, finds, there, that the stamps have disappear ed from the letters. Congress has provided an excellent remedy for this evil. Some one moved an amendment to the post route bill that meets this case, and in spite of the committee, it prevailed, and is now a law. The Post Office Department is to cause envelopes to be made, with suitable water marks oa the paper, identilying them as offvffal, and with a printed stamp, for single or double postage, with a suitable device. These envelopes are to be sold at all the post offices, at the price of th - stamps now sold,— with the very small addition of the actual cost of the envelopes. • HA.Y.—The New York Day Book says A Long Island farmer received during last week one hundred and nine dollars for three loads of hay, brought to the city over the plank toad by one span of horses. Hay is the most profitable crop raised an Long Island, and with the Guano double the quantity might be raised that now is. We V'ave cut eight tons of hay from tnree acres in a mead ow that has not been ploughed in seven years. It is a mistaken idea with farmers that grass land to be improved, should he broken up every few years. Mr. Webster has meadows in Marsh field that have not been plowed in fifty years, and they now produce as much as the best in New England. A good dressing of barn-yard manure, ashes and lime, or guano, is at all that is necessary to keep up the crop. Character of American Flour in England.—ln a commercial circular of Messrs. Richardson Broth ers & Co., of Liverpool, received by the Europe, it is stated— ttThe low quality of the most American Flour that has been received here for some years past has caused the difference of prices between it and wheat to be much greater than the relative portions of seventy pounds of the former to the barrel of the latter." The comparison here made shows that the de fect in quality arises from the manfuacture and not from the quality of the wheat. It is furthei - stated in proof of the interior quality of the American Flour that, "Whilst 21s. per bbl. has been the outside value of the best American on sale, French the same day has freely made rs. per 28 bbls., or about 255. 10d. per bbl., and Irish 345. to 355. per 28 bbls., or 245. to 245. 6d. per bbl." It would appear from this statement that there is a loss of three shillings, to four and ten pence ster ling, per barrel, for want of care or skill in the manufacture.—Boston Daily Adv. , Democratic Meeting.

On one side of the!Die arc engraved' the name and age of the Dr. at fire time of his decease , surrounded with a wreath ofi appropria.te Masonic emblems, of which Order he was a prominent and distinguished member,,and'held the office of D. G. M. On another side are the names and ages of his children, beautifully and tastefully arranged.— The remaining two sides are lett plain, for the names of the'rernaining members of his family at their decease. 'The Monument is composed of lour sec tions, viz c Ground Base, Die, Moulded Base, and ObeliskaLogether, about 11 feet in height—the two latter being in shape an irregular octagon. The whole structure is of highly polished Italian marble —the obelisk being a Plainshaft, with the excep tion of the figure of a bible on one of the sides.— The beality and admirable finish of the Monument reflects great credit on the skill of Mr. Howell, as well as on the Mas6nic Lodge of this city at whoie expense 'it has been constructed. It will remain a lew days in the yard, where it can be seen before its removal to Woodward• Hill Cemetry. New Publications. We are under obligations to Mr. I. W.

Cholera in Poland The steamer Pacific brings frightful accounts of the ravages of this disease in Poland. The New Prussian Gazette has the following from Warsaw of the 2Stholt. "Above 500 have died in the hospitals here, and the total number of those who have been carried off by the cholera is probably greater than 20,000 Cars, wagons, britskas, and conveyances of every possible kind, are perpetually conveying corpses to our burial grounds. The pest rages most horribly among the Israelites. In one fortnight—namely, from the Sth to the 224 of August-1,602 Jews have been buried:' From Posen we read in the same journal : "Forty-three persons have died here yesterday, August 31; there are 405 under tnedi cal treatment. The wife of the Commandant, Gen eral Teitzen, was one, of the fated victims of the pest." Some deaths are said also to have occurred on board a vessel at Hamburg. The accounts of the cholera from Posen, still continue alarming..' On the Ist, 97 persons were attacked, of whom .50 died; in Jarocin, in a popu lation of 2,130, the number of deaths, to the 30th ult. were 210. During the past month it had been impossible to collect the taxes; the funds of the municipalityare exhausted, and there were no means of furnishing attendance for the sick or to bury the dead, and for the ratter duty no one could be pi o. cured without immediate payment. The disease had appeared in Schrimm and Nanislau (in Sile . sia;) where it had already existed, as in the Grand Duchy of Posen, no decrease likely to be permanent can be reported. In Warsaw on the 29th. there were 79 ne,v ca ses, of which 36 were fatal, 513 still remained un- der treatment. Two of the most distinguished names in Polish literature had fallen victims to the disease, Adrian Krzyxanowski and Felix Beatkow ski, both Professors in the University of Warsaw. Since the appearance of the epidemic, it was sup. pdsed that more than 4000 persons had died in the hospitals. To convey the dead to the burial grouuds every kind of vehicle was put in requisition—carts wagons and britschkas. Parties of sappers were ordered to the Poss'enzker church-yard and the Jew ish burial ' , round , to dig the graves. The pest has raged with peculiar severity among the Jews. ln their burial place, says one account, it was fright ful 16 see the number of new matte graves; in the night between the 21st and 22d ulto, alone, 102 Corpses were buried, in those two days together, 350 died. As on the Sabbath no Jewish burial can - _ take place till night, but on Sunday morning 60 bodies still remained unburied, and more were con Candy being brought to the grotind. The help o the military was therefore called in, and the inter meats were obliged to be made without ceremony The. Jewish population exclaimed against this prof anation of their religion, and to prevent it, men o all ranks volunteered for the labor. . , . They said that since the earliest ages, each corpse had been washed and buried in a separate grave; and the) would not allow the ceremony to be omit ted, or that all the corpses should be thrown into common trench. -By the voluntary aid thus afford ed by people of all conditions, without any distinc tion of rank pr wealth, the required forms were ob served, and the Jews state that all their faith have have had a separate grave. In fifteen days 1662 Jews were swept away by the disease. Private accounts state that the deaths have exceeded the number stated in the official report. EU" The celebrated aeronaut,:John Wise, has re turned to this plbce, having recently made his one .undred and fifth ascension at Cleveland, Ohio, ; : during the State Agricultural Fair. He is now prepa ring his mammoth balloon Hercules, for the pur pose of testing the practicability of an aerial voyage across the Atlantic. Several gentlemen of New . _York and Philadelphia have raised the sumtof $lOOO to defray the expenses of an experimental trip from St. Louis to Philadelphia or New York. The voy age, it is said, can be accomplished in 15 hours.— It will 8001 l be attempted.

Kettle drums, brass bands and Glee-baby-jumpers, could not make the good common sense people dance to Whig music. Mam moth show bills, exhibitint , General Sccr-r as the hero of every battle recorded in American history, with the promise of a large Whig biznocr and im mense quantities of soup. did not suit the tastes of our sober minded farmers and mechanics. and they . , .. ... Jemmied quietly at home. Hence it Wit S that in the '?banner Whig county of the Union, - at a gland mass meeting, they could not muster inure than four! en hundred persons! "lake from tiro number the delegations and stragglers from Philadelphia, York, Dauphin, Lebanon and other contiguous counties, and there were not eight hundred made their appearance trom the good old county of Lancaster. .13Ut, talking, of processions, this mass failure con cernj was a rich affair—rich in all its characteis, incidents and details. Postmaster General Geo. II Hatnersly was one of the principal Marshals. 140 was 'mounted on an iron horse, belonging to one 01 our most respectable and wealthy. Iron master, with " the tariff of t 542 beautically gilded, in large Iron letters, upon the saddle cloth. Next in importance and magnificence, to the ComMander-M-Chief, was Major .General He was mounted on a nice littlebrown mare upon' which he sat gracefully erect, with his toes pointing at right angles at the crowd, his arm ed heels against the flanks of the little bows mare, and his beautiful gold-headed cane held sword l'ash ion.Verpendicular against his right shoulder, a la Gen. Scott. But the General—we mean Gen.. - -was unfortunate, as he fell early inn the action.— Before the grand parade was halt over, the little I rown mare took the management of the reins nit government all to herself, and off she went at a most killing pace, - driven to madness by the _armed heels unhitch bestrided her, and which were wider. the tender parts of her tore shoul ders. At Kenidig's corner, however, near the Rail a,l, sine relinh'ed herself of her Tormentor, The hOwen al le!l; but whether from "pain and exhains• 11011, or other -causes, ve have not heard—and \ve were glad bt learn that a sprinkle of Cuile—l'ologne, n e o n!' liroormand a little brandy :toil wale:. not only pot him 011 his bet 11,44111, tilt upon the back of his little fiery ,harlfer ! The confusion in tile lank , . produced by this little episode, shwa ing the possa bility of I, Whig General falling horn his horse, x, all pill to rights again so soon as tire General re• mounted. and they loutid it was not a horse, but only a—little brown mare ! First in the procession was the prize banner. got up by the ,"Old Guard of Whiggery, to bestow -upon the largest delegation which would be present from arty borough, district or township in the county.. This. banner, it is said.,cost one hundp-il dollars, and:was considered an irresistable bait to bring torth an immense crowd as nibbl"r,. The banner-bearer was the big man with the n white hat, - named: BAnnAcK:s, an ex-auxiliary police of- In side, "Jefferson Barracks, - or any other Barracks, are mere pigmies to him. His artitibrii were the forth-coming right honorable Is,ro, C Hicifer, of the "Silver Greys," and Oh! .1. of the Woolly Heads," a law partner and clerk of the great 27taddeus ! These fgrmidable rival.. were kept apart by the tall Bart - mks, whilst they -marched on each. side, steadying the Banner by holding gracefully the tassels, like good boy=_ ought to do upon such glorious occasions. When, afterwards, the several delegatlOlJS wer e counted, it was found that the delegation from Co lumbia numbered la), and to the Colombians, therefore, the prize banner was awarded, as rnu taring the largest force in the Whig column. It was presented, after the meeting, at Mr. Fratink's biuger Bay saloon, by 1. N. Ellmaker, Esq , in one of his red hot. fiery speeches, and received by Mar- Thal Heart, the leader of the Columbia phalanx, and will be considered a big feather in his . cap, when an honorable member of the Legislature. The other banners carried in procession had a very common thread-bare appearance, and had ev idently seen la2tt r days—old articles, which hail , undergone dying and scouring operations. Th . e in scriptions-and mottoes wete amusing. real tut.ny thin g,s--Lindy's Lone, Queenstown Heights. Chi ,pol tepee, Churtibusco, Shite-poke Valley Delega tion,- and' all the hard names of Mexican towns were unsparingly interspersed. Some, and the most prominent anti valued, had large 't soup bowls with pictures representing the hero at his homely meal. This was done to show his civil qualifica tions. Others had as mottoes," General Scott nev er surrenders!" That was stealing thunder from ‘. Old Rough and Ready. - One, (East HemptielTs we believe,) bore a sweet little ditty, tommericing with "Ho-yaa and up she rises!' But the cap-cheat teas the Conestoga wagon, with a tall, magnificent, feather, made out of green sprigs of the box-wood peeping out most eotrancingly from the Centre of Ire vehicle. The s:eakers at the stand in the Orchard and at other points, before and alter the meeting was tin der organization, were numerous, and motley in character." Hon. Mr. Stanley, a member of Con gress from North Carolina, Hon. John kVilliarnson, of Huntingdon, Judge Conrad, the Poet, and Mor ton MMichael, from Philadelphia, and various oth ers of lesser calibre, were all employed m.d doing service or •dis-service to the great Whig party.— But Stanley and Williamson were evidently the I Li , es of the day. The former proved conclusively that FRANK PIERCE was a man of no earthly ac count or consideration, as he (Stanley) was a mem ber of the H. of Rep. during the whole time Pierce was in the Senate, and he never -knew there was such an individual in that august body ! Think of that, ye loco-focos! Can Frank Pierce be any bo dy at all, when the honorable Mr. Stanley did not know him? But, unfortunately, Mr. Stanley's speech was brought suddenly to a close by the plat form giving way and precipitating orators and of ficers pelt melt upon the ground, to the great danger of the heads and limbs of Whigs and Whiglings upon terra firma. But Gen. Williamson—Lhe's the broth of a boy, as a Whig orator. He can talk and drink, and drink and talk to all eternity about" things that be, and things that never will be. He wandered over a vast deal of ground in his speeches on the day of the meeting and on the evening previous. On the night of the meeting (fay, he was oblivious! His oratory even carried him to England—told of the loco-focos being under the government of VICTORIA and her petticoats, and made such a havoc of the Queen's under garments, that the ladies in the neighborhood of his "sight seeing' - exhortations were compelled to retire within doors. Thus has'gone by the intended great Scott Mass Meeting of Lancaster: The day and the night were seasons of drinking and. carousal, without a solitary attempt at the edification or elevation of the mind; and some of the Philadelphia free ticket gentry remained in town for several days in a state of liviorish insanity, in which their leaders left them. A LOOKER UN. Lancaster, Sept. Pole Raising in Columbia FRIEND SANDEREON :—The Pole-star of our noble candidates Pierce and King, is in the ascendant. This week, the Junior Democracy of our Borough have placed erect two beautiful poles, on each of which are suitable flags and banners. On Friday evening, at the corner ot. Fourth and Walnut, the Juniors raised a hickory about 90 feet, after which Jai-on M. GARBER, a little boy about thirteen years of age. delivered the following pretty little address, w hi r l, was very much applauded by the large number of SPEECH. )ersons present My Fellow Democrats:All the great men that have lived, or live now in the world, were Once buys, and perhaps felt as proud of quite as small achievements as the one over which ave now exalt. We have reared our little standard and flung out our banner to the breeze—on - which are inscribed the deathless names of PIERCE and Rise; and I know every young ,heart here to-day glows with lervor, as his bright eye rests upon those beacon lights of democratic faith. To be sure, we are only boys—little boys, now, but the Government of this, our glorious country, whose achievements under democratic administra tions; have challenged the admiration of the world, will some day be placed in our hands, and then we will be men—big men—and I hope, big democrats like Pierce and King! It is said, that it children are trained up in the way they should go, that they will always remem ber their training. I believe that to be a demo cratic truth, and the remembrance of this occasion will exert a controlling influence over our future actions. We must stand firm, my fellow democrats, in ttre faith of the party of the people! It wars against wrong, tyranny and oppression. It is the party of patriotism, the hand-maid of liberty and the hope of the world. I thank you for your attention—l havetnished." After the speech, the Juveniles formed a torch light procession, and marched through town. The watch-fires of the older Democracy are burning brightly, and the young men are again putting on their harness to work. Peace to the ashes of Coon ery,. when ,the young lion-hearted democracy be. come aroused, AwFor. TRAGEDT.—A frightful tragedy oc curred at Brownstown. Indiana. The details are thus given in the Madison Banner: seems that two brothers, named• Hiram and Warren Francisco, and well known as respectable and peaceable citizA , m, followed the ocupation of clock peddling. They usually travelled different routes, but made a practice of meeting each other frequently. They agreed to meet at a public house in the vicinity of Brownstown, on Friday last. One of the brothers reached the tavern, about U o'clock, 'and inquiredif his brother had arrived, and was stormed by - the landlord that he had not. Atter eating his supper he called for a light and asked to be shown to bed. The landlord informed him that he had no candles about the house, but if he would follow him, he would take him to bed. Francisco followed the landlord into a dark room ar.d undress ed himself and retired to rest. The bed seemed to be wet, arid having some matches ahout him, he struck a light. Upon examining the bed he found than it was wet with bloat! Discovering a candle on the table near by, he lit it, and looking under the bed, saw the body of his brother with his throat cut Iron' ear to ear, and perfectly lifeless! Fasten ing the door immediately, he proceeded to load a revolver which - he had, but before he could do so there teas an effort made by several men to enter his room. Pretending not to be alarmed, he asked them to wait until lie dressed himself. As soon as he h d finished loading his pistol be opened the door, and the landlord and two other men rushed on him, when he fired off his pistol, immediately killing the landlord and one of his accomplices, after which the other roan tied:' 41i111.44 , 1 ES On the itith inst., by Rev.
