4,Eir THE DEMOCRATIC TICKETS are

those entitled to receive them. The various
Township and Borough Committees are rd
quested to call, as early as possible, wish H.
B. SWARR, Esq., Chairman of the County
Committee, and'obtain a supply.
A Free and. Great People. 1
OUR FLAG IS THERE!
A free and great country can be governed
only by a free and great party. Whatever
may be thefnture destiny of the United States,
their freedom and grandeur are inseparable
from the Democratic party. Whenever danger
threatens the Union—whether it be treason
to the Constitution and Laws, or the- open
hostility of another Nation—it is to . tIM rank
and file of the Democracy, and to the Wisdom
and conduct of her statesmen, that the Cloultry
looks for the vindication of her outraged laws
and the preservation of her integrity alld ex
istence. In every' emergency that has yet
arisen, the country has not been disappoint
ed in her expectations.
At the present time there is an organiedpo
liticalparty, not making in the face iif da3and in
the full gaze of the people, as all American
party should work—but hatching'; their
conspiracies in secret umeting,s,and preparing
for a sudden assault on the rights of conscience
and the privileges of citizenship secured by
the Constitution. The Democracy of this
county have, in the resolutions unanithously
adopted by their late Convention, expressed
their abhorrence and detestation of thel l prin
ciples of the leaders Of this association, Und of
the .objects, through the acComplishMent of
which, those leaders, by deceit and treachery,
seek to place themselves in offices of trMA and
profit long anxiously sought for, hut seadily
refused. Our flag is nailed to the stajf, and
the legions of the Democracy are gathering
around it, ready, in defence of the CoMitittt
tion and the dearest rights of man, to Or forth
conquering and to conquer.
Joseph S. LefeveroL
This gentleman is proverbial foi is!integ
rity of character, morally, socially a &politi
cally, and is also well known as posseSsed of
a more than ordinary- degree of intelligence.—
Nobodf, who is acquainted with JOSEPH S.
LEFEVER (IMAM his exalted worth, and ample
qualiffeationn to fill a seat in Congress. Then
why, we ask, should he not he elected. There
are a large number of Whigs ih the county
who have all along professed to be oppOsed to
the profligacy and corruption of ISAAC Fi MES
TER and the Whig. managers, and who have
over and over again avowed their determina
tion to aid in every possible way to defeat him.
Then what is their true course to pursue in
order to accomplish this object? Clearly not
to throw their votes away on a third candi
date. Each vote will take one from .11Issua;
but it; in addition to taking the vote from
him, it was cast for LEFEVER, it wtMld be
equivalent to tiro in the way of defeating him.
If the disaffected Whigs, therefpre, are Sincere
in their opposition t to HIESTER, they can have
no hesitation as to The true course of policy
they should pursue.
tßir The Examines, on the strength Of what
it calls "common rumor," says that eight of
the candidates on the Democratic ticket are
Know-Nothings—and mentions the names of
Messrs. NORTH, HALDEMAN and Gass as
among the number. The Examiner I knows
better—and is well aware that the "rumor"
upon which it bases its charge, is a doWnright
and positive, falsehood, manufactured f an the
whole cloth, for the purpose of sit ing a
portion of their ticket from anticipated defeat.
The Editor is well aware that, unless something
is done, by fair means or foul, to injure those
three gentlemen, they stand a very fiiirichance
of being elected to the Legislature. This is
the truesecretpf thecharge, and we apprehend
the "rumor", referred to had its origin and
propagation in the office-of the Examiner, and
no where else. By the way, why did niit the
'Editor give the names of the remaining five?
We should like to know. .
zer Perhaps one'reason why the Eirtneilter
starts an unfounded story against eight of the
nominees on the Democratic ticket, is to divert
public attention from the Whig candidates
—several of whom, including the nominee for
Governor, are known to be connected 'with
Know-Nothiugiem, and were so known to be
at the time they were placed upon the ticket .
Indeed, if we are to believe common rumor, all
the candidates on the Whivountyticicet, with
but two or three exceptions, are out 'lnd out
Know-Nothings in every sense of the term, and
one of them at least is said to be scarcely able
to write his own name!
Dar Governor BIOLER is rapidly recovering
from his reoent severe illness, and eskects to
"give ter days of active canvassin in the
East before the election."
Our Ticket.
JOSEPH S. Lzrzves, the Democratic candi
date for-Congress,' is a highly, intelligent Far
mer4of Paradise township,-descended from a
good and true stock;.he is a gentleman of great.
personal. popularity and undoubted integrity
—a veteran Democrat, who would do honor to
his constituents in Congress or any where else.
NATHAN WORLEY, our. candidate for Sena- :
tor, is well known in the northern section Of
the county as one of our most active and
enterprising merchants—a gentleman of more
than ordinary intelligence and refinement, and
withal a true, zealous and thorough-going
Democrat. His colleague, WzarwL STIEVER,
Esq., of Lebanon county. is represented to us
as being an old and true-hearted Democrat, of
excellent moral character, a gentleman of in
telligence and worth, and altogether deserving
the confidence of every Democratic voter in
the District.
For Assembly, we have Ikon M. Nowra,
of Columbia, (a Lawyer of ability, and a most
estimable citizen in every respect,) CYRUS S.
HALDEMAN, of Conoy, (whose antecedents are
all in his favor, and who is well known to the
Democracy of the county as one of its most
intelligent and active members,) ROBERT MONT
GOMERY, of Bart, (a young farmer of undoubt
ed ability, whose general intelligence and
political integrity give him a strong hold on
his neighbors and acquaintances of every po
litical faith,) Gen. Jecon L. GROSS, of Ephrata,
(whose great personal popularity and services
to the party are well known and appreciated,
and who would make a capital representative,)
and Capt. WILLIAM K. LEONARD, of this City,
who is an active, energetic, trust-worthy, in
telligent, working Democrat, and well quali
fied for the station for which he is selected.
For Sheriff, MARA CONNELL, Jr., has been
gelected. lle, too, is from an old Democratic
stock—being the worthy son of the veteran
Moore Connell, Esq., of U Leacock, who has
been so well known to the people of this Coun
ty for ''nearly half a century. The .son is a
"chip off the old block"—an active, intelligent
and enterprisitig farmer, with rare business
qualifications which would make him vt ex
cellent Sheriff.
Our candidate for Prothonotary is B.
FRANKLIN 1;101.1., of Leacock township—a
young gentleman of excellent moral character,
of easy and agreeable manners, and one of the
best pensmeTh and accountants in the county:
He would fill the office with great credit to
himself and to the entire satisfaction of the
•
For Register, we have that old, staunch, in
telligent and reliable Democrat, JAMES H.
HOUSTON, of Salisbury, so long and so favor
ably known to the people of Lancaster county
as to render any further remarks at this time
entirely superfluous.
Dr. Levi Huta., of Warwick, is the candi
date for Recorder. It is scarcely necessary
for us to say a word in reference to his char
acter and qualifications—as almost every body
in the county knows him, if not personally,
by reputation, to be one of our most active,
useful and enterprising citizons, and well qual
ified for the office. •
For Clerk of the Orphans' Court, the De
mocracy of the County have presented to
them, Cimitt,Es M. How Em., of this City, than
whom a more competent man to fill the office
does not exist any where. Mr. H. is one of
our most industrious and enterprising Mecha
nics, and is withal a thorough-going. reliable
Democrat. •
; low; C. MARTIN, of West Earl, is the can
didate for Clerk of the Quarter Sessions. Mr.
M. has been engaged for a number of years,
in the highly honorable and useful profession
of a Sclutol Teacher. He is a man of excellent
diameter, a Democrat of the true grit, and
well qualified, in every respect, to fill the of
fice.
Joni W. CLARK, of Marietta, and one of the
most intelligent business men of that Borough,
is the candidate for County Commissioner.—
This is an important office to the tax-payers,
and they will lie promoting their own interest
and put a stop to extravagance in the financial
affairs of the county, by electing the" Demo
cratic candidate.
The Dimmer:l6c candidates for'Directors of
the Poor, Prison Inspectors, Auditor and Cor
oner, Messrs. WIEST, EBERLY, WIIIT6, BOYER,
FELLER and PHILLIPS, are all men of exalted
worth and integrity, peculiarly well qualified
to rill the various offices assigned them, and
eminently deserving the confidence and Sup
port of the Democratic party.
NEWTON LIGHTNER, Esq., is the Democratic
candidate for Associate Law Judge. He is a
gentleman of undoubted legal abilities, of high
moral character and acknowledged integrity.
Should he he elected, the community may rest
satisfied in the honesty and
,impartiality of his
decisions ; and that he would fill the responsi
ble position with credit to himself, and to the
advantage of the public, we have not a doubt.
Such, fellow Democrats of Lancaster county,
is the ticket presented to you for your support
—such are the candidates—all men of worth
and ability. It now remains fur you, one and
all, to lay your shoulders to the wheel, and
keep the ball moving. Let there be "a long
pull, a strong pull, and a pull all-together"
for "the Ticket, the whole Ticket, and nothing
but the Ticket"—not forgetting to cast your
ballots for' Messrs. BIGLER, BLACK and MOTT,
the distinguished nominees of the party on the
State Ticket.
As Was Expected
The Whig Prohibitory Liquor Law Conven
tion, of Philadelphia, at their meeting on yes
terday week; after a stormy session; passed a
resoltdion, recommending JAMES POLLOCK as
the Temperance candidate fur Gosernor. We
say Whig Prohibitory Liquor Law Convention;
for it was mainly and' exclusively controlled
by Whig leaders, who, of course, endeavor to
make every thing bend to advance their own
political interests. The Democrats in the Con
vention in vain opposed it, not being
to be transferred, body and breeches„ to the
Federal party and their Gubernatoriid candi
date.
It remains now to be seen whether Demo
cratic Temperance men throughout the State
will suffer themselves to be thus led into the
meshes of Federalism, by a set of corrupt, de
signing political knaves, whose sole object is
their own aggrandizement—and also, whether
the honest farmers, mechanics and working
Men of the Commonwealth will thus present
themselves to be made the catspaw of City
loafers, and cast their votes for a candidate
who will be in the hands of such men. We do
not believe they will. We do not believe
that the honest and sincere friends of Temper
ance will approve of such a suicidal course,
nor do we think that a majority of the people
can ever he induced to support such a candi
date as Mr. Pollock for the Chief Magistracy.
The 'cause of Temperance has been emphat
ically wounded in the house of its professed
friends; and it must irretrievably sink, or cut
loose from the evil influences which now sur
round it:
Dar The GENERAL ELECTION will take place
this day two weeks, the 10th of October. Are
you all ready, DEMOCRATS? If not, organ
ize in your several districts without de
lay, as there is not a moment to lose. We
hope the Township, Ward and Borough tom
mittees-will attend to their duties; at once.
The two intervening weeks should be 'almost
exclusively devoted to the good work. After
the election is over it will be time ;enough to
think of rOst.
Ifoie Banks! More thinks:
Thp . people of Lancaster- County would do
well to consider what will be the effect
on the_aurrenCy of the State*m the remit
of the Gubernatorial. eleetion: - f-By reference
the Hariisburg papers, it will . found that
- there - will beapplicatinne to the next Legisla
ture for no less than '-- -
33 new Banks df isene, cvith an aggregate
capital of'SS, 050, 000.
9 new Saving and Deposita Banks, with a
capital of 955, 000.
7 old Banks, for an increase of capital to
the amount of 1, 300, 000.
10 old ditto. inking the-recliarter of capital
to the amount of 4, 643, 960.
Making a grand total of $1.4, 949, 320.
Thus, says the Harrisburg Patriot, nearly
fifteen millions of dollars of Banking capital
is asking chartered privileges as extensive,
as unlimited, as unrestricted, and as liberal
as can be procured; audio this great extent
the subject of Bank reform is clearly involved
in the coming election of Governor and mem
bers of the Legislature. The question, and if
is an all important one, here arises: Shall ac
tion on this point be confided to the safe hands
of the Democratic party, with Governor BIG
LER at their head,'--or shall it be entrusted to
JAMES POLLOCK and the opposition party, whose
heart swells with liberality to Banks and who
will grant ii charter in every instance where
one is asked, without liability, without res
triction, without limitation as regards issuies , ,
without tax, or any other wholesome regula
tion, but with the much Coveted, and long
sought, darling privilege of flooding the cons
monWealth with small notes.
Tkie Banks of Pennsylvania are now gener
ally a prosperous condition--the currency
sound and:reliable, the most so of any State in
the Union—and all this the result of Democratic
policy. If the people of Lancaster county
want this state of things to continue they will
vote for Governor BIGLER and the Democratic
candidates forthe Legislature; but if they want
some 40 or .50 new Banks chartered, and the
community- flooded with an immense quanti
ty of worthless paper trash, they will vote for
JAMES POLLOCK and the Whig candidates for
t he Legislature. Choose ye between them.
Joahna W. Coml3
So, after all it appears that there was some
truth in the allegation made by the Indepen
dent Whig, that Mr COMM', whose name is
placed on the Whig ticket as a candidtite for
Associate Law Judge of this county, has a de
fect in his hearing. The Examiner of Wed
nesday last publishes a letter signed by Judge
Conyngham of the Montour district, to the
chairman of the Whig County Conunitteo, in
which that gentleman says
Mr. Comly is partially affected with dull
ness or thickness of hearing, I think only on
one side of the head; but by no means to such
an extent as to interfere with his ordinary du
ties in court.
And several members of the Danville Bar
also write to the chairman. Mr. Ellmaker, as
follOws :
Perhaps the best answer to this report is
the fact that Mr. Comly is at this time in full
practice, in his profession, in this county, as
well as the adjoining counties of Columbia and
Northumberland; attends every court in these
counties; and is concerned in nearly every im
pqrtant cause in each; and that in the trial of
a cause at the bar, he experiences no material
inconvenience or embarrassment, by reason of
any defect in his hearing. or other physical in
firmity whatever.
This report, no doubt originated in the fact,
that some two years since. Mr. Comly was af
fected with a disease in the ears which fnr
the time affected his hearing to a, very great
extent; and at one term of court he was una
ble to attend to business: but upon his recove
ry from the disease, his hearing was restored,
and is now as good as it was for several years
before that affliction; during all of which time
he attended -nrPo.:fnlly to the practice of his
profession.
From all of which we infer that there is
more or less of truth in the story=and that
Mr. Comfy has a defect in his hearingut least
"on one side of the head," as stated by Judge
CONY:NCI:LAM. This is the gentleinan's misfor
tune: but when there is so unexceptionable a
candidate as Mr. LIGHTNER on the Democratic
ticket, one of our own citizens. who is sound
physically, intellectually and morally, we see
no good reason why the voters of Lancaster
county, of all parties, should not prefer him to
a stranger, who, whatever may be his other
qualifications for the post, certainly labors un
der a physical defect which must less or more,
injure his usefulness on the Bench.
par. Mr. JouN F. HERR, of Strasburg town
ship; one of the Whig condidates for Assembly,
it appears iqplaying a game of "fast and loose"
on the Temperance question. To Temperance
men he professes to be warmly in favor of a
Prohibitory Law, whilst to the opponents of
that measure he expresses decided hostility to
it. Such is the report, at least, with regard
to the sinuous course of this gentleman. He
ought to be one thing or the other—either
"fish, flesh or aalt herring." There should be
no wiring in and wiring out. If he takes a
position on the' question at all, he should do
it openly and boldly, without any dodging or
evasion whatever. It will not do to denounce
the Prohibitory Law in Taverns, when treat
ing his friends at the Bar—and lvhen charged
with it afterwards by Temperance men, say
that'it was all gammon, and done for the pur
pose of throwing dust in the eyes of their op
ponents. This kind of duplicity will hardly
satisfy the honest voters of the County. -
gar The Examiner & Herald is fearful that
"Democratic Know Nothings" will support
the Democratic State and County Ticket. This
shows conclusively what the Whig managers
of this County have been all along driving at.
They fostered and encouraged the Know Noth
ing movement, expecting that a sufficient num
ber of Democrats would be seduced from their
allegiance to their party and drawn into the
meshes of Whiggery, so as to secure the elec.;
tion of Pollock the Federal Whig ,candidate
for Governor. After the election, Mr. Pollock
and his Whig friends would then turn the cold
shoulder upon their allies, and let them seek
consolation in the best way they could. But
Democrats are not so easily caught as these
gentlemen imagine. Some of them, doubtless;
went into the Know Nothing Lodges through
sheer curiosity—but seeing who were the man
agers, and what the tendency of this secret po
litical organization was, at once severed their
connexion, and will be found fighting side by
side with their old friends on the day of elec
tion. This is what troubles the Examiner and
the bevy of Whig politicians who congregate
at that office.
par Our, amiable little friend and near
neighbor, who "is out for no office in the gift
ofthe people of Lancaster county"—not he, is
excruciatingly witty and sarcastic. We hope
he has not injured his fragile constitution in
any way by this extraordinary effort, as the
loss of so distinguished a=lawyer [!!]
would be seriously felt by the Bar of Lancas
ter. We hope ho may be speedily restored to
his wonted health and strength. We would not
hurt a hair of his head—especially as "the
gains would not be worth the carfdle."
ger The people of Lancaster County have
mow three tickets in the field claiming their
support, viz: the Democratic, the Whig, and
:the independent, alias Know Nothing ticket.
It will be for the voters to choose betiveen
them. For our own part, we have no hesita
tion in saying that the Democratic candidates,
in every respect, are superior to their oppo
nents on either of the other tickets--and be
cause they are so, they should command not
only the entire Democratic vote, but also the
votes of the honest and intelligent of the Whig
party. We hope to see at least a portion of
the Democratie ticket elected.

Panama, Sept ••, 1854.
Dear Sir —Your letter of the 15th lust, Informing me of
my nomination as the candidate of the Democracy of taco
easter county for ConFress, was duly received, I accept
the nomination, and cheerfully Ore' the pledge. required
by the County Caseation, as one of the indispensable
qualifications of the nominees of die party, that am
not directly or indirectly connected with Know-Nothing
ism, and that I will support the Democratic State Ticket.
Very respectfully yours, &P.
.JoszPn S. LEITCEEL.
If. B. Swan-, Esq.,•Chairman Co. COmmittee,. Sir Your
note of the 7th inst. came duly to hand, with the resolu
tion annexed, passed by the late Democratic. CountySion
vention, requiring each nominee of that h o ly to give in
writing his position as regards the political association com
monly known as Know Nothings.
In reply,l would say,that I am wholly unconnected with
said association. I have no part nor lot with it directly or
indirectly. I adhere strictly to the Democratic' aith, and
will give the Democratic State Tlcketany warm and hearty
support with the County Ticket annexed.
There is one thing I think worthy the attenDon of the
taxspsyers of Lancaster county, via the public 'offices. It
is a well known isct,'that with good management a man
can amass a respectable fortune in three years out of one
of our county offices:, hence the great strife to obtain them,
charging this one and that nue with buying delegates, and
all manner of corruptiOn. lam not prepared to say that
there has ever been a delegate bought or unfair means used
to obtain a nomination : but I think, where thgre is so
large a quantity of smoke, there must be some tire. One
thing t am confident of, that if they wefe not quite so
lucrative, there would not be so many office hunters—the
offices would hunt the men and not the men the offices.
The remedy I would suggest is this that the tax-payers
of Lancaster county take the matter into their own hands.
andsteure a law that would place Prom 25 to 30 per cent. of
the income of the most profitable offices of the county into
the county treasury, which would aid in paying off the
debt of the county, and leave a fair compensation to these
who do the busines, Yours respectfully.

Dear Sir—Your communication requiring me to define:
my position with regard to the so-called order of "Know-,
Nothings," was received. In reply, all I have to say tel
that I am not connected either directly or indirectly with
that order, or with any secret political organization of the!
kind. On the contrary, I regard it as a secret political
conclave to be deprecated by every true citizen of our Re.:
public, and every lover of our constitution; as directly ar-;
rayed against one of the special clauses of that instrunent,;
and in every way inimical to the genius and spirit . of our,
republican institution; the tendency of which will be to;
distract our great Republic, and spread riot and bloodshed -
throughout this free and happy country. I heartily coin
cid° with all - the resolutions passed at the late Democratic:
County Convention ,as an expresdon of the will and the ,
principles of the good old Democracy of Lancaster county.;
In unison with these principles I have always fought, and
hope to fight under the good old banner of Democracy as;
long as I live, whether in weal or woe. 'Whether triumphant
or defeated. I will always adhere to the noble principles of,
the immortal Jefferson and the indomitable Jackson.
Yours truly,

GOVERNOR BIGLER'S REPLY.
HARRISBURG, June 6, 1854.
GENTLEMEN:-.1 have been honored by the
Ipoeipt of your communication of the 18th ult . .,
' pounding to me certain questions touch
,g the subject of a Prohibitory Liquor Law.
To your first inquiry I reply that the Su
i eme Court of the State have repeatedly held,
d I can concur in the doctrine, that the
egislature can exercise all law making power
lot expressly forbidden by the State or Federal
onstitution. Under this construction, .1 be
eve the Legislature have authority to con
ol the manufacture and sale of spirituous
iquors, but in. the use of that power, it must
n obvious that a law might be passed which,
n its details, would be a manifest violation
tthe Constitution, and hence the impossibil
y of answering your question distinetly,
ithout seeing the exact terms of the proposed
:w.
As to the second point in the inquiry, it
Must be very clear that a law, constitutional
itself; would not be rendered otherwise by,
a{ lowing the people, to decide by a vote whe
ther the Legislature should repeal it or not, no
matter what that vote . might be.
TO your second inquiry, I answer gnat I
sincerely deplore the evils of intemperance,
and am now willing, as I always have been,
t; sanction any proper measure to mitigate,
;and, if possible, to entirely remove the vice;
tint cannot pledge mySelf to sanction a law
t details of which I have not seen. The
+lns of the Constitution and oath of office
would seem to forbid this course on the part
of an Executive. He should be free to judge
4 the constitutionality and wisdom of a pro
law, after having fully examined and
..l.m , ldered its provisions.
Very respectfully, your ()Wt. servant

JUDGE POLLOCK ' S LETTER.
MILTON, May 30, 1854.
Gentlemen:—Your communication in refer
piles to a prohibitory law has been received,
,111 in reply, 1 say that the constitutionality
nla. prohibitory law similar in its essential
features to the one referred to in your interro
gittories, having received a judicial determina
t on by the highesi r Courts of several of our
States, and the principle having been recog
nized by the Supreme Court of the U. States,
llam relieved front the responsibility of a first
vision. These Courts having affirmed the
mstitutionality of a prohibitory law, and be-
BEM
an of its repeal to a vote of the people.
Every measure of moral or 'l , olitic al reform,
s netioned by the representatives of the peo
pe, within the limits of the Constitution,
s ould receive my official sanction. The ex
p diency and propriety of such laws are for
t e people; through their representatives, and
t eir will constitutionally declared, should he
respected by the Executive: If the people de
'Mind. and their reprelentatives, enact such a
law, their will should not he resisted by the
exercise of the veto power—a power purely
cmservative and only to be exercised in cases
c,early unconstitutional, or exhibiting indnbi
t able evidence of hasty, injurious and imperfect
lsgis'lation. Such being my views of official
my in the premises, should the Legislature,
t e constitutional exponents of popular will,
e act such a law, it would in the event of my
e ecti on, receive the executive sanction.
I Yours, very respectfully, J A S. PonocK.

The Democratic Mass Meeting held in In
dependence Square, on the evening of the 18th
ilist., to commemmorate . the Anniversary of
the adoption of the Federal Constitution, is
tlid, by those who witnessed it, to have been
t e largest assembly of freemen ever congrega
ted there. The Pennsylvanian estimates the
lumber at 30,000, and the Ledger speaks of it
its sn immense and overwhelming demonstra
mon, seldom, if ever, equalled in that city.
The Democracy of Philadelphia are thor
qughly aroused and united in their opposition
th Federalism, Know-Nothingism, and every
dther ism of every hue and grade, and will
give such a vote for BIGLER, BLACK and MOTT,
- 411 the 10th of October, as will astonish both
friend and foe. All the signs of the times
dearly indicate that the boasted majority giv-
On to Mayor Conrad, in June last,will be whit
tled down to the little end of nothing at the
State election.
MEMO
The " Independent Mass Meeting," took
lace on Saturday last, in
. this city, for
he avowed purpose of forming an Indepen
dent Ticket, but in reality to endorse a ticket
previously- agreed upon by the Know-Nothing
managers in secret conclave. The day was
unusually fine, and expectation was on tiptoe
to see the immense crowds which were expect
ad to pour in by hundreds from every section
of the county. But lo ! 10 o'clock came, and
11 o'clock, and 12 o'clock, and yet no
.crowds
appeared. About the latter hour the mana
fers of the farce succeeded in drumming up
wo or three dozen foz the purpose of organi
zing, and then adjourned till after dinner.—
At 2 o'clock the meeting again convened to
die number of about one hundred and fifty
Men and boys, and double that number of
spectators attracted to the spot by sheer enri
sity—when the following ticket was an
nounced and agreed to: •

Was done, without the knowledge Or consent
3f either of those gentlemen, for the purpose of
giving character to their ticket and inducing

didates are not Know Nothings. But the
;wise is too thin, and the uncouth proportions
-s f the animal can he seen through the flimsy
vering without any difficulty. ,
After appointing two Committees, those
resent expected some distinguitihed tpeakers
but none appeared. At length they sue

awaiting their pay from Government—were out of provis

Minnecosha, shot down the cow and with his comrades oat
it. The Mormons reported at the Fort that the Indians
bad stolen one of their cows. On the 19th, Lieut. ()Tattoo,
with a command of twenty-seven soldiers, and an Interpre
ter, arrived there to arrest the lsfdlen; he said he would
die before he would be taken. A- large party of Indians
were standing around at the time, among whom were the
Bear Chief of the Wasaglev., the Little Thunder, the Blg
Partizan, and several others. The Lieut. ordered the sul
dices to fire upon the Indians—they did so, and wounded
the Bear Chief and his brother. The Indiana, in turn, fired
Upon the soldiers, and succeeded In routing them—
them all but one private, and he !s not expected to recover
from his wounds. Lieut. tiratton received twenty-four
arrows in his body, one of which passed through his head.
As soon as the commander fell, the soldiers took to flight,
• bbt were all killed before they had gone a half mile. The
Indians then entered the house of James Bordeau and de.
manded of him everything that they wanted: he gave them
all he hand in store, amounting to near two thousand dol
lars. The next day they went to the post of the American
Fur Company, took all the goods that were sent them by
Government, and pillaged the stores. James Bordeau, by
request of the Commander of the Fort, was itffitructed to
bury the dead, as he had not men enough to detach a party
for that service, and it was dour. After the battle was over,
the Indians seized the cannon, broke it into a thousand
'pieces, carried off the muskets, and drove away the ani
mals. There were about rent thousand Indians engaged in
this battle. The ides of placing a company of infantry on
a prairie to fight the Indians is ridiculous, and nothing
more than putting themselves up as targets to be shot at.
Government should place at least tiro hundred soldiers at
that Fort, and quickly. too. or all may be slaughtered who
are at present there.
There are no further particulars from Santa Fe In rela
tion to the death of the intrepid Aubrey. About a half
hour after his arrival there from Caifornia, he and Major

Missouri Correspondence.
WEST Boar, Missouri, Aug. Bth, 1824.
1.40. SANDERSON, Esq., Dear Sir :
I arrived here from my late residence in Lows., on Wed
nesday- lost. While at St. Louis, I had the pleasure of sha
king by the hand your gentlemanly and talented corres
pondent in that city, the `•Old Guard."
The elegant packet upon which I took passage for Kan
hod on hoard about one hundred and fifty emigrants,
all bound lbr. Kansas Territory, and hailing from the New
England states. Many of them were sent out by the End
grant Aid Society of Boston, and were rank Abolitionists,
while others were men of liberal views. Among them were
Si large number of youug. men between the ages of 17 and
'2l, who had a great contempt for western men, but who
Showed before we arrived at Kansas that they had never
seen the elephant. They were armed to the teeth, and
tried their riles at turkey buzzards ' mistaking them for
wild turkeys! and imagined that they saw upon the river
banks, Buffalo, white and black Boars, and in the river
Crocodiles, while hi fact there are none of these Within tire
hundred miles of it. Many of them expected that the peo
ple of Missouri would meet them with pistols and bowie
knives, and were surprised when they found them to be
like other folks.
Their head quarters are at the Baptist Mission, Which is
some six miles from here, and from that point they will
scatter all over the Territory. It is said that the Baptist
Missionary is au Abolitionist, yet no E'later than last fall
he purchased a slave !
The territory is fast tilling up with emigrants, and the
people are anxiously expecting the arrival of Gov. Reeder.
They wish the territory organized, at there is no law save
such as have been established by the squatters.
Yesterday, in company with Gen. Curtis Dunham, I vis
ited the Methodist Mission. which is under the charge of
Rev. Thonurs Johnston. the late provisional delegate to
Congress from the territory.
As soon as the Governor arrives, It is expected he will or
der an election. • The democracy of the territory are look
ing forward with anxiety to the result of the first election.
Gen. Dunham, brother of the lion. C. L. Dunham of In
diana, is the most prominent candidate for delegate toCon
gross; indeed he appears, from what I can loam, to be the
almost unanimous choice of the settlers.
Gen. Dunham is a straight forward, whole souled demo
crat, and will make a faithful representative. To-morrow
1 leave fur the Wahkaloosa and Caw country, when I
will write again.
