he been in his position at this time, would •

The delegation from. Pennsylvania, in the
next Congress will, therefore, stand 16 Whigs
to 9 Democrats, counting Mr. TODD, who run
as an Independent Democrat, ono of the nine.
From a lung and intimate personal acquain
tance with that gentleman, we are -satisfied
that upon every questiOn of importanoe, except
the Nebraska bill, he will be found acting
with his Democratic colleagues—and•from his '
great energy of character and superior talents,
will be a most valuable acquisition to the del
egation. As a political writer and speaker
we do not think he has his superior in the
State, and if his course shall be such as we
anticipate, he will take a high rank in the de
liberations of Congress. We say this much
in justice to Mr. TODD, without endorsing his
course in running against the regular candi
date of the Democratic party. We should have
preferred seeing him elected in a different way;
hut that is between him and his constituents,
and it is not for us, residing out of the district,
to find fault with their decision. His oppo
nent, Mr. BoNnAit, the regular Democratic
candidate, is also a worthy man and an able
writer and speaker; but the fates were against
him, and he had to suffer in the general up
turning of the politics of the State.

er to be gathered again. Its death was worthy
of its character, for• in its life, no faction was
too profligate for its alliance, nor too venal for
its acceptance. It always received its food
from the decayed particles cast from the vigo
runs body of the Democracy, and took pride
in exhibiting its loathsome putrescency as the
evidence of its strength. Without principle in
its construction, it was ready to strike down
the rights of members of its own party as it
was greedy to grasp the rejected and diseased
portions of its great antagonist. Professing to
be in favor of civil and religious liberty, thou
sands of its own steadfast household were
stricken down, to gratify a miserable faction
that was born of bloodshed and commotion,
and which sustained its degraded existence by
the wages of its harlotry. It dealt with its
candidates as a courtezan does with her favors,
and was marked with similar contingencies.—
Its rapacity, is the legitimate offspring of the
food which gave it nurture, and to expect hon

because we would have felt that such
a result might have been prevented by a little

in our victors to play with their victims as a

realize MOORE'S conception of "beholding hea

Our Condition
Have you heard the news from Maine,
Maine, Maine, Maine.
We have not been startled at midnight by
the cry of fire, and looked out in dismay a week
before the election, as we did in 1848, at a
torch-light procession, two miles in lertgth.—
We have not been kept in suspense a week, as
we were in 1840, to have the contest decided
by the polls of Potter and M'Kean proving too
short to knock the persimmons. The business
has been done without any of these disagreea
ble concomitants; and we feel almost as much
surprised and delighted as a poor fellow suf
ferinl with the tooth-ache does to see the oc
casion-of his trouble in the hands of a " tooth
carpenter," when he supposed he was merely
making preparations to cut the gum. We
have had a regular Lopez execution, and have
not been compelled to anticipate its horrors
for any very long period in advance.
A PROPER CONVICTION AND A PROPER Prx-
ISHMENT.—At the late term of the crimirnal
court for the county of Lenawee, Michigan,
Augustus McDonald was tried, convicted, end
,senteueed for life, for placing obstruction!! on
the line of the United States mail road for the
purpose, as was clearly shown and admitted
by him, of robbing the mails. This mail road,
we suppose, was a railroad; if so, the pundsh
ment is a. just and proper one, and we are
pleased to see courts recognizing the enorl nity
of the offence and treating it with the s time
severity they would visit upon a murderer.

The Official Nate
Through the kindness of our neighbor of
the Independent Whig, we are enabled to lay
the official vote of this County before our read
ers in to-day's paper. It will be seen that the
majority for Mr. POLLOCK, is 6263. This, under
all the circumstances, is less than might have
been expected. In 1851, Governor JOHNSTON'S
majority was 4865 ; or about 1400 less than
Mr. POLLOCK'S. This shows that about 700
Democrats deserted the standard bearer of their
party, and -cast their votes for the Whig can
didate. The vote in the County is about 2000
less than it was in 1851, which farther shows
that the Democratic party of Lancaster county,
notwithstanding the treason in its own ranks,
has done better, much better accordingly, than
I alinost any other County in the State. The
4700 good and true men who stood by Governor
BIGLER deserve all praise, and by ad
hered- firmly to their principles, have
lost none of their honor in the contest. Not
so with the. Whig party. They have gained a
Governor, it is true, and have secured the
County offices for three years—but they have
done so at the expense of their former princi
pies, lost the Congressman, and degenerated
into a mere conglomeration of Abolitionism
and Know-Nothingism combined. The late
Whigparty is now to all intents Abolitionized
and Native Americanized, and the honest por
tion of them have no other resource, left than
to adopt the principles of the Democratic party
and act with us in the future. Any other course
on their part will only plunge them deeper in
the qu ag . mireof Abolitionism and Intolerance,
to the brink of which they have been driven
by their leaders.

VERN DESTRUCTIVE FRESHET.—Pike county.
Miss., and the adjoining parishes of Louisiana
have been visited by a tremendous freshet,
caused by a rain which commenced on the
20th ult.. and continued without intermission •
for six days, during the first three of which
the most unprecedented torrents of rain de
scended. On the 21st all the streams rose elev
en feet in seven hours. Several planters, trav
elling with their vehicles to Covington, Miss.,
barely escaped with their lives, leaving their
teams on the road, where when the storm
ceased, only the tops of the wagons remained
visible! The bridges on all the principal
streams were carried away,and many mills de
stroyed, the only one of the latter left standing
being saved by the owner promptly cutting
away the dams. So high did the river rise
nt Covington, that passengers could step from
the steamboat to the top of the principal re ,
ceiving warehouse in the city. Immense dam
age was done to the crops, scarcely a staltt of
corn or cotton being left standing, and all the
gathered corn being swept away. A whole
herd of beef cattle was drowned on one farm.
<,
For seven days the roads wete impassable,aud
travelling had to be done by boats. A mail
carrier between Holmesville and Covington,
was killed by lightning on the 20th.
THE GREAT CANADIAN COUNTERFEIT GA.NO.
—A month or two. since we announced the
arrest in Canada of a gang of seven persons I
ongaged in the manufacture of counterfeit bank
plates and dies on the most extensive scale.
For a long period this gang have been quite
successful n circulating their counterfeits up
on the banks of the United - States, and in
some instances men have grown grey headed
and wealthy iu the business. We learn from I
a gentleman from Montreal th the gang ar
rested are to have their trial there n the 15th
of this month. Among the. nu er is True:
F. Young, wile several years ince was in ,
custody in this city on a el, • ar charge; there
is also one of the Bonny family; an old man
of sixty, named Beard, possessed of consider
able wealth, whose daughters signed the bills;.
also three men, named Bowers, Wilson, and
Gleason—the latter an excellent engraver.'
The spoil obtained from them is probably the
most extensive ever secured in the United:
States." There were no loss than forty-seven
bank plates, nearly all for counterfeits on banks
in the United States.

At the time of the arrest of these counter
feiters, an attempt was made by the officer .
and his posse to arrest a man named Phelps,
charged with a number of daring bank forge
ries. Phelps gut the alarm, and stationed
himself in an upper room, to which there was
but a narrow passage way. He was armed
with two double barrelled guns, two revolvers,
a bowie knife and a slung shot, and kept the
officers at bay for six hours, when he was final,
ly arrested; but on the way to prison, in the
custody of three men, he made his escape, and
has nut since been seen. Sheriff Clark arrest
ed at Portland, a day or two since, a man
named Dunn, who had been sentenced to four
teen years imprisonment for counterfeiting,
but who managed to break jail and escape.
He was taken back to his old..quarters at Sher
brook, Canada. It is to be hoped that, by the
breaking up of this great band, who, with
others, for the last twenty or thirty years,
from the Canada side, have flooded the United
States with enormous quantities of counterfeit
money, a blow has been given which will fin
ally put an end to the business.—Booton

EXTENSIVE ROBBERY.—On the night of the
2tith September, the Lace and Embroidery
Store of Messrs. Scott & Thompson, No. 75 •
Chesnut st., below Third, was burglariously
entered and robbed of property to the amount
of $l,OOO. The goods stolen consisted of laces,
embroidery, handkerchiefs, &c. They were of
the most fine and costly character—one hand
kerchief being valued at $25. Every effort was
made to detect the perpetrators of the act,and
finally the real offenders were secured. The
first person arrested proved to he Henry A.
Scott, a son of one of the firm, and the second
was Samuel M. Wolff. Both of the parties
are young men, and it is somewhat strange
that such an act should have been committed
by them.
.From information given by Wolff,
who acknowledged his participation in the
rebbery, nearly all the goods were found at a
place in Fourth street, above Chesnut, and
were conveyed to the Mayor's office. Oue of
the prisoners stated that the proprietor of a
drinking house in Chesnut street, above Sev
enth, had been cognizant of the burglary—had
given advice in regard to the manner in which
it should be accomplished—and even had
gone so far as to receive a portion of the stolen
goods. This man and his wife were arrested
and taken to the private office of Mayor Con
rad, where they had a private hearing. In, the
possession of his wife was found one of the
stolen handkerchiefs, valued at $25. As the
whole affair has been strictly private before
Mayor Conrad, we cannot give full details,
but sufficient is known that even-handed jus
tice has not been done. Young Scott was com
mitted in default of $1,500 bail; Wolff was
held in $l,OOO, and Mr. and Mrs. Bennett in
$5OO each, for their future appearance.
The further hearing was to have taken plac:
on Friday evening, but it was postponed.

n. Been. S.l IN ScorLANn.—A great
I) t o i thq •sor..s held at Glasgow on the Bth ult.,
in commemoration of the inauguration. of
13: run Marochetti's statue of the Queen, which
ceiNniony took place during the day. Among
the many distinguished guests present. on the
o4asion, was the American Minister,. Mr
u : A: l 'n :: ' in response toatt in
a nor 2tedStttes,r,seandsad:
'I cannot feel myself a stranger in a strange
;(.) ntry in the presence of this comßany.
1 ear] I feel that 1 am in the presence of rela
ci and friends, and lam glad that by
31 re accident I happened to be here on this
,ic , asion. We have not as yet dune much to
c ltivate the arts in America, but we have a
taste to admire them; and the statue of the
Qheen that was disclosed to the wondering
add admiring eyes of the people of Glasgow
tojlay did not produce a warmer feeling of ad
miration iu the minds of my artistic • friends
than it did in my own mind, rude as it is in
matters of the kind. [Applause.] .
And why should I feel myself a stranger in
alstrange land here? We speak the same lan
gnage we read the -same books, we worship
the same God, and the distinguished authors of
Stotland are. as familiar as household words
tcl the whole population of Anierica. Every
child born in the greater portion of the United
States of America, has as good a right to re
ctive a:common school education as he has to
b eath his native air and drink of the fountains
of his native country; and the poetry of Burns
and of Scott, the romances of your distinguish
e{l novelists, and the works of your distinguish
ed historians, are read from the Atlantic to
t i te Rocky Mountains. (Hear, hear.) I have

on certainly are a great people. You made
t o most furious raids in bygone times that
e er *ere made by mortal men, and these des
perate conflicts have been ennobled, and all
toe world has been made to understand their
-ature, by your poets and novelists. But the
.otter age of utility has-succeeded the age of
imance, I think the most perfect speeiMen of
hat is in the reflection that there is a steam
:oat now plying on Loch Kathrine. Alas! for
oetry and romance after that. (Laughter and
pplause.)
I With regard. to the two countries, although
Oauch has been dune to make them enemies,
and although vexed questions have arisen to
estrange them, yet countries which God has
. nited, the folly of men cannot put assunder.
Continued cheering] And I do trust and hope
nd believe that all the clouds that have been
or a long time, and to some extent are yet
owering upon us, will be buried in the deep
losom of the ocean. With Glasgow, we cer
inly have stronger ties than with ahnostany
ther city in the world, because I have no
oubt that the citizens of Glasgow not only
entertain an affection for us, because we are
one of their bone, and flesh of their flesh, but
hey are a trading people, and they like good
ustomers. ["Hoar, hear," and laughter.] 1
horofore trust and hope that the bonds of
utual friendship which unite us and them
t present, and unite us both with the whole
mpiro of Great Britain, may become stronger
rid stronger, and may be perpetual. [Pao
onged applause.]
logr- Lieut. John Heath, a patriot of the
Revolution aged 08 years, died recently at
Windsor, Broome Co., N. Y. He was at, the
battle of Bunker Hill, and the following inci
dent is related by the Binghamton Democrat.
While Heath was at Bunker Hill, the enemy
at one time received from the tories in that
vicinity, a drove of stall fed cattle, which they
were pasturing just over a rise of ground, at
a short distance from the American's encamp
ment, and opposite to where Lieut. Heath then
• a private, was situated as a picket guard.
Heath upon discovering the, cattle, unable to
resist the temptation, left his post which was
within range of the British guns, and went
and drove into the American camp 44 head
of the enemy's cattle, receiving, while in the
act the compliments of the British in the shape
. of two 241 b. shot, but without injury. On
hearing the report df the British guns, Gen
eral Washington dispatched one of his Colo
nels to reconnoitre, who met Mr. H. with the
cattle just as he passed the summit of the hill,
Mr. H. related to the Colonel what he had
done; the Colonel told him to go along with
his cattle, and he would take charge of his
post till he came back, He was absent from
his post only half an hour. Heath heard
nothing more in relation to his exploit, from
his officers, till the next morning, when he
was summoned to General Washington's quar
ters. The General demanded to know of nim
how or why he had dared to leave his post?
' Mr. H. replied that he knew he was guilty of
violation• of his duty but the temptation was
so strong he could not resist it. Gaweral
Washington reprimanded him, said he must
never be guilty of leaving his post again; that
lie would excuse him this time, and directed
Major Humphrey to take down his name, and
Heath to leave. In the course 'of that day,
General Washington sent him thirty-nine sil
ver dollars and a hind quarter of beef that
weighed 1604 pounds.
WINTER WELEAT.—A friend from William
son county informs us, that owing to the large
yield of grain in that fertile region, and the
lack of what a yankee would style "help," it
has been found impossible to garner and take
care of the crops there raised. To remedy
this evil the farmers are about to introduce
the culture of winter wheat, which has been
so succesefnl in other portions of the State,
where the experiment has been made. By
adopting this plan of raising two crops a year,
one half the labor only l ,will be required to
harvest them. • Our informant states that the
farmers of Williamson county are willing to
pay five dollars a bushelfor seed-Wheilt; which
would well recompense our neighbors. in t•he
northern part of the State for the tionble of
transportation.—Austia, (Tema) Whig.

No MORE LITTLE GOLD DOLLARS.—WO are
glad to learn that these 'little jokers;" which
are so hard to find, and so much ' , harder to
keep after they are found, aro to be abolished.
The Secretary of the Treasury has ordered a
new dollar coin to be substituted for the one
now in circulation. Some of the new coinage
have already made their appearance, and have
as large a surface as the silver five cent piece.
Orders have been issued to have them struck
off in all the United States mints in which
coining is done. No more of the current
gold dollar will be struck off.
ROBBERY.—On Thursday afternoon some
thievish rascal entered the house of Dr. Muh
lenberg, in South Queen street, ascendedto the
third story, and with force and arms did pick
up and clandestinely carry off divers articles
of ornament and apparel, together with a port
monnaie containing a quarter eagle and some
small change, the ;property of Timothy 0.
Balkin. The other articles missing are
black frock coat, a pair of pantaloons, two
neck-handkerchiefs and a silver lever watch,
the latter having a gold chain attached, with
the letters "T. O. B." thereon. The scamp
will probably be arrested; we hope so, at any
rate. We have no compassion for the class of
people i known as thieves. The fellow had a
perfect right to "take his time," but he had
no right to take any body else's; so, also, of
the clothing and other articles.—lnland Daily.
• THE COUNTY FAIR.—The County Fair com
mences to-day at Columbia, and will continue
three days. The premium list is larger than
that of any other county in the State. This
fact alone, should, and we have no dotibt will,
be sufficient to ensure a ,large attendance.—
Extensive preparations have been made for the
accommodation of stock, &o. We suppose the
fare from Lancaster to Columbia will be half
the usual rates.
KILLED.-A man named Morton, was ki
led by the lightning train on Saturday week,
near Thorndale Rolling Mill, on the Columbia
Railroad. He was at Downingtewn for the
purpose of meeting his wife who he expected
in one of the trains, and started up the road to,
visit! some friends in the interval.. lie was
advijsed to walk on the turnpike, but he did
not heed the advice, and foolishly venturing
along the railroad, was overtaken at a curve
and;killed.
DROWNED.—DanieI Campbell, living near
Snavely's mill was drowned on Saturday week,
in the Conestoga. A Coronees inquest was
held, and after a thorough investigation, re
turned a verdict of "found drewned."
To Tar, PUBLIC.—In consequence of the
false rumors prevailing in many parts of the
country, in regard to the cholera,and the gen
eral health of Columbia, the undersigned
deem it their duty to say that there "has not
been a case of cholera in our borough for the`
last ten days; and that the place is inure
healthy now than it has been lbr several years
at this season.

Geo. Sanderson, Esq., Dear Sir:—lt is an undeniable
fact that wp westerners have a great mania for building
cities upon paper, with fine square magnificent churches,
splendid parks, and costly edifice of every - description, but
alas too many of them die almost before their birth.
Kansas is blessed with a largo number of these paper
towns. This city has a lino start. houses, are going up
continually and fifty carpenters could at this time find
employment at $l per day. Strangers who have heard of
the beauty and prospects of this city are continually visi
ting it and when the day for the sale of the lots take place,
it is expected there will be a large number of persons pres
ent. But of that 1 wtl write you. Above us on the Mis
souri, we haveAtchison and Klckapoo Cities,and others not
yet named. Upon the Kansas river are few Baton, Doug
lass City and 'Tecumseh, while upon Grasshopper Creek
there is a place called Osauka. At the crossing of the Cal-
ifornia Wood on Big Blue, and also one at the crossing of
the Nebraska on the 41.. Leavenworth route to California.
Doniplum city has just been laid at the mouth of Inde
pendence Creek, and bee, it is said, a tine country to back
it. 1 hope for the best, but it is greatly to be feared that
there will a portion of them die a lingering death.
About four miles from here is the Moravian Mission
among the Delaware Christian Indians. On Monday last
1 visited It, and was well treated and kindly received by
the Superintendent, the Rey. David Z. Smith. His Hock
is not large, but beyond all doubt he is eiceedingly popu
'Dar with them and has over them great influence. lie is
assisted by the Rev. U. Iticksiacker, a very valuable gentle.
man and a truly Christian man,who informed me that
nearly twenty - five years ago he ad taught school in Lan
caster. On Friday last the settlers upon the Delaware
lands held a very large and respectable meeting here which
was presided over by Dr. Charles Leib fromorly of Oregon .
I send you a copy of the Kansas Herald by which you will
see the character of the Resolutions passed. The Delaware
setters but ask the "same privileges and protection which
the policy of the country has accorded to the pioneer du
ring the- last quarter of a century." There were in the
meeting blaj. a. A. Ogden, U. Saes Army, Gen. Duhham,
B. ItTrombley, C. C.Andrews, Biqa., and the Rev. Freak
Starr, an able and eloquent divine. An adjourned meet
ing will be held on the 9th of this month.
Gov. Reeder is expected here in a few days. A meeting
Will be held here to-day to make preparations to receive
him: I will keep you advised of his movements.

latitude crosses the same: thence west on said parallel to
the eastern boundary of New Mexico; thence north on said
boundary to latitude thirty-eight; thence following said
boundary westward to the east boundary of the Territory
