The Printer Wants Money.
Now that the Presidential election is over and
the Democracy every where triumphant, we hope
our patrons will not be offended when we tell
them—we mean those in arrears—that we need
MONEY badly. Those indebted for subscription,
advertising and job work, or either, will confer a
great favor by paying us what is justly our due.—
The approaching Courts will afford a favorable op
portunity, to many, who cannot come to town, to
send it with their neighbors. Those living out of
the County or State can remit by mail at our risk.
The Result.
FRANKLIN PIERCE and WILLIAM R. KING are
•lected President and Vice President of the United
Mates from and after the Fourth of March next.—
TI
'hey are elected, too, by the largest majority that
has ever been given at any Presidential election; 1
where a contest was made. That the government, 1
under their guidance, will he administered faithfully
and energetically, and in such a manner as will pro
mote the happiness of the people and the welfare
and glory of the country:, we have not a doubt. It
has always been so conducted when in the hands
of the Democracy. The people have tried Whig,
fiery for four years, and find that Whig rulers are
utterly incompetent and inefficient to guide thehelm;
and now they have restored it to Democratic hands
Where it will remain, in all human prdbability, for
many, very many years to come
The election of Gen. PJF.nCE to the Presidency
puts an end to the Whig party, as s u ch. since th e
death of Messrs. CLAY and ' WEBSTER they have no
eaders left to guide and manage for them. By
adopting the Democratic platform, at Baltimore, in
une last, they effectually un-Whigged themselves
Leommitted political suicide—and the inglorious
Lleteat of Gen. SCOTT
,has driven the last nail in
their coffin as a Whig party. Henceforth they
must follow the lead of William H. Seward, of
ew York, and gradually become a mere sectional
arty or faction with Abolition affinities. The Na
tional Whigs must, of necessity, do one of three
1 l '
this:—either become Abolitionits, set up for
( things:—either
themselves, or join the Democratic party with
( themselves,
views and feelings on the great question of
slavery they more nearly coincide. Which of the
i three courses pointed out they will pursue, time
I
will determine. But in either case they mustrese
'taste as a Whig party, and no longeralile to
contend with the great Democratic party of the
Union.
Of the thirty-one States of the Confederacy, twen
ty seven have now ranged themselves on the De
mocratic side, and the strong probability is that
they will, nearly all, continue in line during the
present cent . nry. The spirit of Democracy-‘—pro
gressive Democracy—is abroad in the land; the
young men of the Nation are rallying to the stan
dard of liberal principles, and it is no stretch of the
imagination to believe that the Democratic party
will go on increasing in strength and influence until
there will be scarcely a vestige .of opposition left
for them to contend against.
Our Old Democratic City.
The indomitable Democracy of this City have
covered themselves all over with glory. They poll
ed on Tuesday last 1351 votes, being an increa s e
of 148 on the October election, on increase of 196
lon the Gubernatorial election of last year, and an
increase of 27.1 on the Presidential election of ISIS.
'Tis true the majority is not in proportion to the
increase of the vote, owing to the bribery, corrup
tion, brow-beating, and tyranny resorted to by cer
tain leading Whigs; hula is, nevertheless, 366
enough in all conscience to preserve the integrity
of our glorious old City, and to show to the world
that her Democracy are unconquered and uncon
qherable. It were invidious to make distinctions
between the different Wards, where all did their
duty so faithfully ; but we may be permitted, in an.
especial manner, to congratulate our friends in the
north-east arid south-west wards, on the handsome
increase upon their majorities at the October elec.
lion.
All hail to the 1351 Democratic voters of the
invulnerable old city. •
The Glorious Democracy of Lau
easterVoimty.
The entire Democratic vote of the county, accor
ding to the official returns published in another col
umn, it will be seen is 6515. This is the high
est vote ever our party polled in the county—being
352 higher than the vote of Governor BIGLER last
year, and 49S more than were cast for Gen. CAss
in 18.18.
We rather guess the party was organized
ED - The highest Democratic vole ever berore
polled in this county was 0226, which was given
to Col. BIGLER at the last Gubernatorial election.
At the election on Tuesday last, Gen. PIERCE re
ceived r,i7s, showing an increase of 352 votes on
the election of last year, and proving conclusively
that the party never before was so well organized
in the county. We hope to hear no more of a
want of efficiency in the Chairman or members of
the County Committee.
113 As the American people have given Gen.
Scott bluer licks, we presume he will now have
more time to attend to the location of a military
iospital. The " sweet German accent " and the
"rich Irish brogue" will not trouble him so much,
and it is to be hoped that he will take good care
not to be agriin
Caught with his b—s down!"
Torch Light Procession.
The Democrats of Lancaster City will have a
grand Torch Light Precession, on Thursday eve
ning next, the 11th inst., in honor of the overwhel
ming victory achieved at the Presidential election,
by the Democrats of the Union. Our Democratic
friends from the county are invited to be present
and participate.
1 Governor BIGLER ' S great speech, delivered
in Monument Square, Ba'timbre, on the Friday eve
ning immediately preceding the Presidential elec
tion, is every where spoken of with high commen
dation. It is a most able and convincing argument
throughout in favor of the measures and men of the
Democratic party, and had doubtless-a happy effect
in bringing about the gloriOis victory achieved in
the Monumental city. The Governor did the cause
of Democracy good service in the campaign which
has just closed. He Was "instant in season and out
of season," ready and willing, stall times and un
der all circumstance's, to do battle for the right.
The Democracy will hold him in grateful remem
brance.
irr Hon. EDWARRnEVERETT, of Massachusetts,
has received the appointment of Secretary of State,
to succeed Mr. WEBSTER. The President, we think,
has been fortunate in the selection. Mr. E. will
will retire on the 4th of March next.
117' The Goyernor has respited BLAaSE Sausersr-
SRI, the younger Polish brother, convicted of the
murder of young Lehman in Philadelphia, until the
3d of December. He was to have been executed
sn Friday last.
E - The Democracy of this city had a glorious
rally at the Court House, on Monday night, the
eve of the election. Hon. JAMES BUCHANAN pre
sided and made a truly able and eloquent speech of
more than an hour. Col. REAR FRAZER also ad
dressed the meeting. •
lErThe entire vote polled in this city, on Tues
day last, was 2336, the largest ever given—be
ing an increase of 301 on the October election, and
of 330 over the Gubernatorial election of last year

Lancaster County.
The official returns show a Majority of 5058 for
Gen. SCOTT, in the largest vote 'ever polled in the
county. Nor do we marvel at
'ever
result, knowing
as we do the extradrdinary means, fair and foul,
made use of by the leaders of the Nirlaig party to
swell their majority. They resorted to every thing
--no matter how disgraceful—Hto accomplish the
result. With them the end to be obtained justified
the means employed. Money ] , was lavished in
abundance; voters were openly bribed and bought
over; threats were held in terrorem over many
poor men and their families; Sunday and Saturday,
night and day, were colporteur l s abroad in every
nook and cdrner of the country, circulating lying
pamphlets and atrocious slanders upon Gen. PrEncE;
their orators and spouters ba l sely lied in their
speeches; in short, ever thing was done, that de
peration and malice could concoct in the brain of
unscrupulous leaders, to gull and defraud, bully and
brow-beat the honest and unsuspecting citizens of
the country into the support of their pop-in-jay can
didate. So complete were all their arrangements,
that before and on the day of the election, they
were confident of carrying the county by six thou
sand majority, and the wonder is that, after such
exertions and appliances, they were not successful-
But thanks to the indomitable Democracy of
Lancaster county, (and a truer band of patriots are
not to be found in the State,) the leaders of Federal
ism had calculated without their host. Our
friends were not caught napping. There were to
be found over sixty-6e hundred good and true men
who could not be persuaded ob bullied, bought or
bribed, into the support of old "Fuss and Feathers."
Instead of giving six thousand, their majority is
but a little over five thousand, Or nearly 300 less
than that given to Taylor four years ago. And in
addition to this falling off in th i ?ir majority, many
of them have also been stripped of their money and
their character, and have to endure the bitter re
flection that they have lost every thing but their
rascality which, like the fabled 'shirt of Nessus, will
cling to them as long as they live.
The honest portion of the Whig party, when they
come to find out the rascality anti tyranny practised
by their leaders, as many of them have already
done, will desert their colors as rats do a sinking
ship, and for the future arrayijthemselves on the
side of honesty, integrity and Democracy.

attributed to General Pune'', liy the Whigs, is the
way he run at the last election !

COLUMBIA RAILBOAD.—The Philadelphia Bulle
tin says the State contractors to carry passenger'
on the Columbia Railroad have effected an arrange
ment with the Pennsylvania Railroad Company,
by which the baggage cars will be run through
without the necessity of transferring the baggage
to other cars at Dillerville, which has hitherto
proved so annoying to travellers.
Important from Gen. Scott;
A despatch from Washington, to the Phil adel
phia Ledger, dated Nov. 1. (the day before the elec
tion,) says:
"General Scott has within a few days expressed
himself very confident of his election by a large
majority."
Wonder what the General thinks by this time.—
He received "a fire in the rear" on Tuesday such
as he never experienced before. No doubt he is
again "fired with indignation r
The Cause and Effect
We have been a somewhat active participator in
seven consecutive Presidential elections, including
the one just terminated, but never have we seen any
one to compare to this—if we take into account
the issues involved and the immense majority by
which the successful candidate is brought into pow
er. The great contest of 1828 was not to compare
with it, nor was the-greater one of 1840. In the
first instance Gen. JACKSON had but 17S of the 273
electoral votes of the nation, and in the second Gen.
HARRISON had 234 of the 204. Both of these re
sults were considered tremendous majorities in the
electoral colleges, and they truly were so; but the
274 votes of the 206 by which Gen. PiEncs comes
into power, is unprecedented in Our political strug
gles.
The people have emphatically spoken, and not
without cause. The Federal party', which rode in
to place four years ago On the shoulders of a suc
cessful military chieftan, abused the trust confided
to them, as they uniformly do when they steal
into power, for which they Lase been, brought
to a strict account and fearfully condemned at the
bar of public opinion. Nor could the military
character and successes of a victorious General save
them from the disastrous consequences attendant
upon their abuses. Indeed,. the tinsel and trappings
of their candidate rather accelerated than retarded
their downfall. The people had triedone purely mili
tary candidate, and found him utterly incompetent
to the discharge of Presidential duties, and they could
not be induced to again resort to the Army for the
chief executive officer of the'Nation. In the elec
tion of Gen. Tarcoa they saw that a dangerous
precedent was about to be established, which, un
less nipped in the bud, might end in the...destruction ,
of our institutions, as was the case with all the Re
publics of antiquity, and they were not willing to'
imperil the liberties of their country, either present
or prospective, by entrusting the destinies of the
country in the hands of a vain-glorious, weak, but
ambitious military chiettan.
The fiat of the people has gone forth. The race'
of mere military Presidents is at an end. The
country requires a statesman to manage the affairs
of the government; and a statesman of enlarged
experience has been selected by an overwhelming
majority of the free citizens of the Republic. Not
only so, but a precedent has been established that,
hereafter, statesmen must be nominated as candi
dates for the Chief Magistracy of the Nation, if the
Whig party would even make a respectable show
of opposition to the Democracy. Drums and fifes,
fuss and feathers, epaulettes and - swords, have had
their brief day, and for the future the Army is
about the last place in the wprld that even the
Whig party will look to furnish their candidate for
the Presidency.
We are . sincerely rejoiced at the glorious result
of Tuesday. last. It aughrs well for the safety and
permanency of our tree institutions. Every good
citizen of every party will "breathe freer and deep
er," now that the country is saved from the domi

Corn Husk Beds
I No one who has tried them, says the Mount
folly New Jersey Mirror, knows the value of husk
Serfs. Straw awl mattresses would be entirely done
,way with, if husk beds were once tried. They
-re not only more pliable than mattresses, but are
sore durable. The first cost is but trifling. To
sire husks nice and clean, they may be split after
he manner of splitting straw for braiding. The
'finer they are split the softer will be the bed, al
hough they will not be likely to last as long as
• Olen put in whole. Three barrels full, well stow
-d in, will fill a good sized tick, that is, after they
r ave been split. The bed will always be light, the
-tusks do not become matted down like feathers,
mil they are certainly more healthy to sleep upon.
' Feather beds ought to be done away with, espec
-dly in warm weather. For spring, summer and
ill, husk beds ought to be " all the go," and such
I ndoubtedly. will be the case., when they are
• rought into use. There is no better time to pro
, ire husks than when the corn is harvested, and
Ie husks will be much nicer and cleaner when
1 , ) ,e corn is cut up at the bottom and put in stacks.
g hey do not become so dry and weather beaten.—
r is calculated that a good husk bed will last from
,enty-five to thirty years. Every farmer's (laugh
_r can supply herself with beds (against the time
need) at a trifling expense, which is quite an
ilicement, now-a-days.

New Books
E - The "Democrati., Review - for October is a
capital number, and is embellished with a beautiful
and life-like portrait of Gen. Piuncu the President
elect of the United States. Amongst other good
things which enrich its pages, is a contrast of
'Frank Pierce and Major-General Scott," which ef
fectually strips the latter of all pretentious to
statesmanship, a fact which seems to have been
deeply impressed upon the public mind, judging
from the result of last Tuesday's election.
'AMERICAN Lew REGISTEIL—The first number
of a new work with this title is now on our table.
It contains 64 royal octavo pages of closely printed
reading matter, embracing important decisions in

fig- The village of Hermann, in Missouri, is the
centre of a vine-growing district originally settled
some fourteen years ago by a company of Germans.
The soil of the country, was poor and did not yield
good crops of grain or tobacco, and many of the
first settlers left. In 1845 the experiment of grape
culture on the hills—which are from 300 to 600
feet high, with a southern exposure—was tried, and
successfully. There are now 437 acres devoted to
the grape, and the manufacture of wine is carried
on to a considerable extent. The village contains
about 'l2OO inhabitants.

A Brnh:s EYE Vrew OF OREGON:A letter to
the Al ist.ouri RepublicM, dated Aug. 17th, from Ore-
This year's emigration is beginning to drop in
upon us. They report great distress on the last end
of the route, from the lack of grass, teams giving
out, and depredations committed by the Snake In
dians, west of Fort Hall, &c. What the poor emi
grant will do this year for food, alter' he gets in,
God only knows. Now, flour sells quick at $2O
per barrel, and just after harvest when it is gener
ally at its lowest price. Wheat can't be bought
for bread or seed for less than $2,60 now, and some
ask $3, $4 and $3 per bushel, and say they won't
sell until they get that. The emigrant can't pay
such prices, be will not have the means to do so,
and thereby must suffer. You may ask, "has your
wheat crop failed in Oregon?" No sirs; there is
no such a thing as crops of any kind failing here.
But men's disposition to work has failed, hardly
raising enough for themselves of either bread or
seed—rnaking their living, and having some to "salt
down' out of their stock, butter, cheese, pork, ba
con, eggs and chickens. Cows readily bring $75,
beet cattle $lO per hundred pounds on hoof; Amer
ican horses and mules 150 dol. to 300 dol.; huller
30c; cheese 60c per pound; pork this year will be
worth 35 dol; bacon about 50c, eggs quick at 1 dol.
per dozen; chickens at the farmer's door 12 dol. per
dozen, all of which accumulates on and around the
farm without labor.
CUMDZIALARD COUNTY SLAVE Cuss.— Verdict for
the Plaintiffs!—We learn from the Philadelphia
Sun of Tuesday last, that the jury in the case of
Oliver et arys. Weakly et al, after being out from
Thursday morning of last ~veek, until Saturday
evening last; came into court and sent for the
Judge and clerk to receive their verdict, not desi
ring to remain locked up over Sunday. The judge
and clerk Soon made their appearance and receiv
ed their verdict. It was for the plaintiffs, in the
sum of S2SOO against Cauffman, and not guilty as
to the other two defendants, Stephen Weakly and
Philip Brechbill. The trial commenced on the
19th of last month. It was for harboring and assist
ing thirteen fugitive slaves to escape from their
masters. This action settles the fact that juries in
the United States Court will give verdicts against
persons who aid in the escape of fugitive slaves ,
althMigh some of the jurors are taken from infect
ed districts•Of country.
Guano wi the Lobos Islands—lts Qualify and
Worth.—According to a communication just sent
in to the, London Times, the Lobos Islands have a
value attached to them, in comparison with which
the riches of California are of small account. In
his opinion the quantity of guano on the three Lo•
bos Islands amounts to two hundred and fifty mil
lions of tons !
To exhaust this pile of undeveloped food, taking
one million of tons a year, would take two hundred
and fifty years, and to transport which would em
ploy for two hundred and fifty , years, one thousand
ships of a thousand tons capacity each; The value_
ofthis vast amount of manure treasure at two cents
per pound.(whith is below the mark,) will amount
to $10,000,000,000. Ten billions of dollars! what
a bank that.,would make, and here it is all founded
on three small islands by the fowls of the sea.—
How many years did it take for those fowls to de
posit such. an abundance cf matter for the enrich--
ment of the barren fields of England andthe United
States? On every hand there are evidences of the
world being much older externally than men have
been accustomed to hold it, or than men have had
any authority for so holding it by revelation.
FRIGHTFUL AcrlmaaT.—On Saturday last, at
the iron ore bed of Daniel Guth, in South White
hall township, Lehigh county, at present in the oc
cupancy of the Crane Iron Company; two Ger
mans and an Irishman were engaged in taking out
ore in one of the Shells, in a depth of about seventy
feet. In the morning before they went in they no
ticed a small crack which, however, they did not
think was dangerous, and entered as usual to work;
but at 11 o'clock the mass of earth gave way,
about eight feet wide, extending the 70 feet down
to the spot were the men where at work, and bu
ried them to the depth of some 30 or 40 feet. The
superintendent of the mines immediately despatch
ed some fifty hands to the spot, who were at work
uncovering on Saturday, Sunday, Monday and
Tuesday, but had not succeeded in recovering the
bodies of the unfortunate men. One of the Ger
mans named Peter Wieser, leaves a wife and four
children. The other, Peter Bell, has but lately em
igrated to'this country, and his Wife and one child
are now, it is said, on their way here. Barney
McLarney is a single man.

Closing Moments of Daniel Web-
A telegraphic despatch gives the following inci
lents attending the closing moments of the "great
Statesman :"
Or. James Jackson left the patient at two o'clock
in the afternoon.
During the early part of the afternoonithere was
some decrease in the swelling of :11r. Wobsteee
abdomen, and fewer symtoms of nausea; but there
were no signs of rallying.
Repeatedly in the course of the forenoon, and
the early part of the afternoon, he conversed freely
and with great clearness of detail in relation to his
private affairs and the condition of Isis farms, sta
ting his plans fully, and the manner in which he
wished to have them carried out.
About half past five o'clock Mr. Webster was
again seized with violent nausea, and raised consid•
erable dark matter tinged with blood. Exhaus
tion now increased rapidly, and his physicians held
another consultation, which resulted in a conclu
sins that his last hour was fast approaching.
He received the announcement and requested that
the female members of his family might be called
in, viz: Mrs. Webster, Mrs. Fletcher Webster, Mrs.
J. W. l'aige and Miss Downs, of New York; to
each calling them individually by name, he ad,
dressed a few words of farewell and religious con
solation.
Next he had called in the male members of his
family and the personal friends who have been here
within the last hew days, viz : F. Webster, (his only
surviving
son) Samuel A. Appleton, (his son-in
law.) J. W. Paige, Geo. F. Curtis, Edward Curtis
of New York, Peter Harvey and Charles Henry
Thomos, of Marshfield, and Messrs. Geo. J. Abbott
and. W. C. Zantzinger, both of the State Depart
ment at Washington—addressing each by name be
referred to his past relations with them p.spective
ly, and one by one bade them an affectionate fare
ell. This was about halt-past six.
He now had Mr. Peter Ilarvey called in again,
and s to him "Harvey, lam nut so sick but
that I know you—l am well enough to lcnow you.
I am well enough to love you, and well enough to
call down the richest of Heaven's blessings upon
you and yours. Harvey, don't leave me till lam
dead—don't leave Marshfield till lama dead man."
Then, as it speaking to himself, he said:—" On the
24th of October, all that is mortal of Daniel Web
ster will be no more."
He now prayed in his natural usual voice—
strong, full, and clear—ending with "Heavenly
Father, forgive my sins and receive me to thyself, !Ivo'
Christ Jesus."
At half-past seven o'clock Dr. J. M. Warren ar
rived from Boston to relieve Dr. Jeffries as the im
mediate medical attendant.
Shortly after he conversed with Dr. Jeffries, who
said he could do nothing more for him than ad
minister occasionally a sedative portion, " Then,"
said 111 r. Webster, " I am to be here patiently till
the end ; if it be so, may it come soon."
At ten o'clock he was still lower, but perfectly
concious of everything that passed within his sight
or hearing.
Doctor Jades and Porter have intimated an
opinion that the immediate cause of the disease
was a cancerous affection of some of the smaller
intestines.
Should he die in the course of the night, an ex
press will instantly start for Boston with intelli
HIS DEATH
Afars/field, Sunday morning, 4 o'clock. The Hon.
Daniel Webster, the greatest of American states
man is no more ! He died at 22 minutes of 3
o'clock, in tn't - seventy-first year of his age.
During the last hour he was entirely calm, and
breathed his last so peacefully that it was difficult
to fix the precise moment that he expired.
