The Democracy of Landaster Comity
The 4700 goodawi honestmcliof the Dem
acratic party in this County who - were true -to
their time-honored principles on 'Tuesday
week, deserve all-praise.
.While the Democ
racy of almost every other county in the State
faltered and fell back toil much greater ex
tent, here the lion-hearted republican wing of
the party, notwithstanding- the fearful odds
against them, stood Arai in , the cause,' and
merit the praise of all their brethren through
out the tommo'uvietiltfi.. This fearless body
of Democrats now . Riau' a nucleus around
Whieh will gither,hundreds of good and pure
meal' heretofore acting with the Whig party,
who will,idoubiless, hereafter be found acting
with TIB, now that our ranks are purged of the
traitors who have b l een fomenting strife and
discord in the party for the last seven or eight
years.
In the recent contest in this county we had
the co-operation and aid of several of the
friends of Gen. Less. These men, like true
and honest Democrats, would not sacrifice
their cherished principles at the beck or nod
of their would-be leaders aid dictators, and
they will be gratefuliembered by their
brethren in the same glorious cause. they
differed in opinion with the friends of Mr.
Bucitezux, about men, previous to the last
Presidential nomination. This they had a per
feetright to do,, and we find no faultwith them
on that acctunt. But in thO recent contest,
which s wasone emphatically to test the principles
Of men, they came up to the work with an hon
estymn(
of pu se and a zeal which is worthy of
all co ndation.
As for t ose, heretofore professing the Dem
ocratic faith, who knowingly and deliberately
deserted their time-honored flag and went over
to the enemy, we say—"they are joined to
their idols, let them alone!' The party is well
rid of such treacherous politicians—henceforth
they will be found acting with Know-Nothing
Woolly-Head Whiggery, and we give that
faction of the opposition much joy of their
new allies and friends.
Star At the Polls on Tuesday week, Col.
FRAZER, it is said, boasted that he had given
Governor BIAER a black eye. And that there
might be no mistake in his position., he made
a speech at the Whig and Know Nothing Head
Quarters, (not the speech, however, which is
published in his , : organ last week,) after the
vote for Governoi and Congressman had been
ascertained, congratulating the Abolitionists
and Know-Nothings who were present (for the
Silver Grey Whigs, disgusted with the defeat
of Mr. Hresrmt, had left,) on the result, and
claimed it as a triumph of the people over all
parties and isms, the' Democratic party inclu
ded. When we heard of this speech we con
trasted it mentally with the many he has made
in by-goneyears, and mourned over his shame
less apostacy.
If he must become a Whig, why did he not
join the Silver Grey portion of that party ?
Their principles are more congenial with those
for which he had previously contended, and, if
he'is to be believed, voted nearly all his life.
Why did he associate with THADDEUS STEVENS,
an avowed. Abolitionist ? Had he any private
reasons for securing for the Abolition candi
date for the Presidency, the vote of the Lan
caster County member, in the event of the
election being thrown into the House of Rep
resentatives, which is highly .probable ?
Whether Mr. Stevens has convinced him that
WILLIAM H. SEWARD, the Abolition Senator of
New York, ought to be the next President of
the United States, we do not pretend to say :
but tbs .f. - J.mer took especial care to have a
Woolly Head settled for the Amalgamation
ticket, and the alacrity and fidelity with which
Col. FRAZER and Mr. JACOB B. A3IIVAKE, with
several of their devoted friends in the town
and county, labored for Mr. ROBERTS' success,
would naturally lead pne to suspect that they
look forward to some personal benefit for
themselves. Men as prominent as they were,
do not abandon their party and join the Abo
litionists for nothing. No one would pre' and
to say it was from principle, unless they have
been fighting under a mask all their lives.—
What, then, was it for? Will their organ lie
kind enough to inform the public. .
More than three years ago these same gen
tlemen were mainly instrumental in the defeat
of the regularly settled candidate for Mayor,
Major FREDERICK HAISBRIGH T. The exact
share they had in that transaction, they never
boasted of,• as prudence seemed to require con,
cealment on their part. But custom has at
last made them bold, and having several times
opposed the Democracy in secret, they have
now summoned up their courage to the stick
ing point.- and openly glory. in their own apos
tacy from the Democratic party.
/ger On the night of the election the Demo
cratic Head Quarters were at SHOBER'S Hotel,
in North Queen Street, of which public notice
was, given a week before-hand. The Whig
papers announced their Head Quarters at
URBAN & KREIDER'S Hitel, in West King
street. No Democsecertainly, would have
selected the latter place to make a speech up
on such an occasion—nor no Whig the former
place. We leave our readers to judge of such
conduct.
gar. In another column will be'found, em
braced in a communication, the real senti
ments expressed by Col. FRAZEE at the Whig
Head. Quarters, on the night of the election,
taken down at the time by an eye and ear
witness, and which can be vouched for, as
correct, by dozens then and there present. It
will IR seen that it differs very materially
from the one since prepared and published in
a City paper, to get the speaker out of the
dilemma in which he has voluntarily placed
himself. We give the Col. joy of his new pol
itical associations.
"STRAWS SHOW," &c.—We clip the follow
ing handsome notice of our townsman's Whig
and Know-Nothing speech on the night of the
election, from the Philadelphia Sun. the Na
tive American organ of that City:
Col. REAH FRAZER, whose devotion to his
party formerly gave him the sobriquet of the
"War Horse of Democracy," made a speech
— at Whig head quarters, in Lancaster, in con
gratulation of the defeat of . Biamt. We con
gratulate Col: F. on his final separation from
a party which he served with fidelity, until he
found it too corrupt for . an honest man's ad
hesion.
Se veral Bright Spots
Amidst the treachery by which we were
surrounded, there were, nevertheless, several
green spots in the County where our Demo
cratic friends covered themselves all over with
glory—such as Cwrnafion, Salisbury, Man
heiin Borough and Towitshiy, Warwick, Earl,
East Eftrl, West Cocalicb, Manor, Conestoga,
Fulton, Elizabethtown, ',Mount Joy Borough
and Township, East HeMpfield,-West Lampe
ter, Conoy, East and West Donegal, Penn,
&e. In all, of these districts tie Democ
racy were true to their principles, and could
not be swerved from their duty to the party
by the devices of the conamon'enemy.
ws,lt is ascertained that the next State
Legislature will stand as follows: Senate 18
Democrats, to 15 Whigs and Know-Nothings.
House 42 Democrats, to 58 Whigs and Know-
Natbings. Next week we shall publish a list
of the • meinixtre. - -
The Result in this City.
Theteault of the eledtion"iit — thieitittitais
surprised every one. The .Ainalgams,tion Tick
'et, containing the names of PotecK, Marx,
Ram, and the Woolly Head and Know-N4h
ingcandidates for Congressandthe County Offi
ces, 'was carried in 'every ward by a large ma
jority. The Democracy have been defeated—
but they were first betrayed. Some were
cheated out of their votes vothers disposed of
their's at. the bidding of so-called leaders.—
Men heretofore occupying a high position in
the party, and who have clatnorously arrogated
to themselves the power of establishing the
standard of Democracy, and of determining
who were and who were not up to that stan
dard, acted openly on Tuesday week, with the
Whigs, Woolly Heads and Know-Nothings, in
I the combination made to defeat our State and
County Ticket, and destroy the Democratic
party. Apostates from the political faith
they had previously professed with more than
pharisaical boasting, these men were for weeks
assiduously striving to seduce, others from the
path of Democracy, and on the day of the elec
tion labored with all the ietil of new converts
in the ranks of oar enemies. We allude par
'
titularly to, Col. REAR FRAZER
,and JACOB
B. AMIVAILE, Esq. Against all the forces
of the Amalgamationists, our party, weak
ened by treachery and distracted by the ren
egades,centended with the same spirit and
vigor that formerly procured for Lancaster the
title of the only Democratic, City in the Union.
Indeed; looking at the treachery that has since
come to light, we have reason to congratulate
ourselves that the majority of the Amalgama
tionists was not greater. Many Democrats, we
have now reason to believe, voted the Amal
gamation ticket, given to them as the Demo
cratiq, ticket by men who for years have
been"on our poll committees, but who on this
occasion were bought to sell their own votes
and to steal the votes of their personal friends.
But the City will be redeemed. The sober
second thought of the people, never wrong and
always efficient, will repudidate the gang of
Abolitionists and Know-Nothings, who suc
ceeded in this their first open and avowed at
tempt to destroy Jur party, and obtain for the
Woolly Head Whigs and renegade Democrats,
who are pulling the wires, offices of honor and
profit.
From the Pennsylvanian of Tuesday
Serenade to Governor Bigler.
At about o'clock last evening, a large
party of musicians and citizens assembled in
front of the Merchant's . lloteljor the purpose
of serenading Gov. Btatrat,' 4 and discoursed
most excellent music. After singing in a very
excellent manner several soul-stirring airs,the
Governor was introducet to the audience, and
delivered an address which, though short,was
one of the most appropriate, effective and elo
quent speeches we have ever heard, and was
frequtntly interrupted by loud demonstrations
of applause.
The Governor thanked the audience for the
demonstration which appeared before him. It
was a very common thing for a successful can
dilate who had honors to bestow, and a long
official career before him, to be thus greeted,
but it was unusal for one who occupied his
position, which was rather that of a setting
than a rising sun, to be thus greeted. He had
endeavored to discharge his official duties
faithfully and to the best of his ability—he
had proclaimed to the people of the State his
honest views and principles—and though
stricken down by an unseen secret foe, his
heart was cheerful and his spirits buoyant,be
cause he felt that the principles he had avow
ed Were , right and just, and that time would
vindicate their correctness. He had stood up
on the doctrines of the Constitution; he had
contended for the political equality of citizens
of all creeds and of all.classes; he had opposed
the formation of secret societies for the accom
plishment of political objects; he has not striv
en, as some persons falsely allege, to array
one portion of the community against another
but had made the principles of Republican
equality his guide, and had throughout his
whole official career faithfully adhered to them
and but a very few years would elapse before
ths correctness ofhis position would be uni
versally acknowledged.
It was not the first time that the party he
belonged to had been overthrown. It was de
feated in 1840, and again in 1848, but every
measure upon which it had been temporarily
defeated, had since been gloriously vindicated
and triumphantly established. It would be
so hereafter, and whatever might be his future
destiny, whether he should retire forever into
private, or again participate in political life,
it should he his pride and pleasure to belong
to the great party of the country, of the Con
stitution,of Republican freedom.of equal rights,
and of progress, which had left a glorious im
press upon the pages of our national history.
For the short remainder of his official term
he avould studiously endeavor to discharge to
the best of his abilities his Executive duties,
and he would ever gratefully remember the
kindness which be had received from the peo
ple of Philadelphia, and of this great Com
monwealth.
We have given from memory but a mere
skeleton outline of his remarks, which were
delivered with a fervency and eloquence which
dnly those who heard them could properly ap
preciate, and which made his audience all feel
prouder than ever of their candidate, and rea
lize the poetic truth that—
" Far more true joy the exiled patriot feels,
Than Cmsar with a Senate at his heels."
RS— We should like to know what those
gentlemen, heretofore known as Democrats,
but wbo were candidates on the Know-Noth
ing alias "Independent Ticket," of this county'
expect to gain from their apostacy. By their
conduct, in running against and helping to
defeat the Democratic ticket, (which no one
doubts would have been eleoted by a hand
some majority if every professed Democrat in
the county had voted for it,) they have com
pletely severed their connexion with the De
mocracy ; and, inasmuch as they were deejated
themselves, it is not to be presumed that in
the future movements of their Woolly Head
and Know-Nothing coadjutors, they will be
again thought of for a nomination of any kind.
Their inglorious defeat effectually shelves them,
and they must stand back for new and untried
men. This is rather poor consolation for their
treachery to the Democratic party.
ler The course pursued by the leaders of
the Temperance party, in Philadelphia and
elsewhere nearer hoine, did more to defeat
Prohibition at the polls than all other causes
combined. Their open hostility to Governor
BIGLER and the Democratic candidates gener
ally, drove hundreds, aye thousands of voters
into the ranks of the opposition, who other
wise would have been for a Prohibitory Law.
Me' The elections in Ohio and Indiana
have resulted yet more disastrously to the
Democratic party than here in Pennsylvania.
Nearly the entire delegation to the next
Congress, from both of those States, will he
opposed to the National Administration.
air The Harrisburg Patriot states, by
authority, that the Board of Canal Commis
sioners will meet on Tuesday, the 14th of
November, for the purpose of making appoint

Commonwealth for the ensuing year.

his Proclamation recommending Thursday,

The Vote For State Officers

conclusion of a battle, to count up the list of

sags somitivhat of that description that we
have an exinibiation of the re-1
turns 01 the full vote ofiwnne twenty of the -I
principal counties •of the State. The result
will be seen in the tables published elsewhere.
So far as the Governorship is concerned, the
Probabilities are that.. TAxEs Powoow, by
crying "good lord! good devil!" to the fag
end of every faction in our Commonwealth,-
-by . reprsentations to the Temperance men
that he would sign any bill prohibiting the
sale of liquor, regardless of its constitutionali
ty, and by assuring the distillers that he was
"sound" on the liquor law; by bowing down
upon his knees before the Baal of Know
' Nothingism, and taking its oaths which
I he cannot keep as Governor of this Common
wealth without committing direct perjury,
by swearing to proscribe all men not born
upon our 130i1, yet visiting the workshops and
habitations of our adopted citizens to heap
upon them fulsome flattery—by proclaiming
on the slavery question doctrines - so ultra
that even the Abolition party, whose dearest
object is the annihilation of our Union, and
who, openly proclaim their undying hostility
to the Constitution, were ashamed of him,
and at the-same time appealing for support
to "Henry Clay Whigs"—by all manner of
false misrepresentations during the canvass
in regard to the public works, while Gov.
Bigler was lying dangerously ill, JAMES Pot
toes, the Abolition ,Free-Soil, llienry Clay-
Whig, Know-Nothing, Native American
candidate has been elected by over 30, 000
majority! And greatly are our opposition
friends rejoicing over his shame. His posi
tion requires him to perjure himself befor he
can act officially—but what of that? He is
pledged to assist in carrying out Abolition
projects which boldly aim at the vitality of
our National governmont—but what of that?
A Democratic candidate for Governor, whOse
former official career has been unblemished
by a single stain, and whose capacity and in
tegrity are alike unquestioned, has been strick
en down—and what does it matter who is to
take his place, nor how hideous, revolting and
destructive are the pretexts by which he has
been overthrown?
But of all the agents to which- Judge POL
LOCK owes his election, the alliance of Km;w-
Nothingisrn with the old Wiiig party is of
course the principal one. And we desire
here to direct the attention of the reader to
the large proportion which that element has
contributed to his success, and also to the rela
tive condition of the old Democratic and Whig
parties proper. Judge POLLOCK, by receiving
all the Ism and Know-Nothing votes, defeats
Governor BIGLER by some 30, 000 votes. HEN
RI' S. MOTT, the Democratic nominee for
Canal Commissioner, has evidently received
the Know-Nothing vote for that office, in ad
dition to the Democratic vote, and in twenty
counties, comprising half the vote of the State,
the result is: MOTT, Dem., 147, 226; DARSIE,
Whig, 44, 813; SPICER, Native American, 782:
giving MOTT a majority of 100, 000 in about
half of the State, and indicating that Morr
will receive altogether, near or about 200, 000
majority.
The Whig, Ism and Know-Nothing vote,
as opposed to the Democratic possesses there
fore aboutf 30, 000. majority
The Democratic and Know-Nothing vote
as opposed to the Whig„ possesses a majority
of about 200, 000.
In the counties above referred to, the vote
for Supreme Judge stands thus:—SMYSER,
Whig, 37, 115; BLACK, Dem., 88,831; BAIRD,
Native and Know-Nothing, 65, 403. Here
the three parties are fairly represented by
their different candidates, and the indications
are that BLACK, Dem„ has about 100,000
more voies in the State than SMYSER, Whig;
and probably 50,000 to 75;000 more votes
than BAIRD, Know-Nothing. Thus the Dem
ocrats are in a large majority over either of
their opponents when disunited, while the old
Whig party is in a double' minority: not only
100, 000 votes lower than the Democrats but
perhaps have some 20,000 to 50, 000 less votes
than the Kuow-Nothings.
In the midst of the general disorganization
of parties which has taken place, it is
gratifying to know that so small a portion of
the Democratic party has been lured from its
banner, and our glorious old organization
when compared with that of the Whigs gal
lantly maintains its ground. It is also a
matter of curiosity to know what course those
who faithfully adhered to the Whig organiza
tion intend to pursue.. Many of the best men
of that party have been stricken down by this
combination throughout the State. Both Mr.
DARSIE and Judge Sursitt, either of whom
are better qualified for the post of Governor
than Judge POLLOCK, have been sold out to
the Know-Nothings, = Mr. CHANDLER, Mr.
HIESTER, Mr. BROOMIIALL, prominent Whig
candidates for Congress, have shared a similar
fate, and so too in almost every strong Whig
County in the State, regular Whig- candidates
for local , offices, have been offered up as sacri
fices upon the heathenish altar of Know-Noth
ingism. Whether they will view such con
duct with cold indfference, and spaniel-like
lick the hand that smites them, or whether
they will act like "men, high minded men,
who know their rights, and knowing, dare
maintain them;" time will show.
So far as regards our own party, its course
is a plain one. It has always been in this
country the guardian spirit of civil and reli
gious liberty, and of the Constitution and the
Union, and it will not prove recreant to its
duty now. We never felt more proud of our
organization, more thoroughly convinced of
the justice of our cause . and the greatness of
its mission than we do now, and there is in
the American heart too much true patriotism
and too much good sense to fail to recognize,
as soon zip the "sober second thought" comes
fairly into action, the justice of Democratic
principles, and how vastly preferable Demo
cratic ascendancy is to that of the tyrannical
rule of mongrel isms.—Pennsylvanian
Reported Discovery of Sir John Franklin's
Remains.--A despatch from Dr. Rte, dated

by Sir George Simpson, Governor of the Hud

the remains of the long lost navigator, Sir
John Franklin, and his company. They per

SUPREME COURT DECISION.—In the Cage of
the Borough of York vs. Forscht, recently ar
gued before the Supreme Court of Pennsylva
nia, the following important law points were
decided:
Where a reward is offered "for the detection
and. conviction" of an offender, and a person
is detected and convicted, the record of the
conviction is evidence, in an action for the
reward, that the person convicted was the
true offender.
It is within the legitimate province of the-bur

detection of offences against the general
safety of the inhabitants.

Nnow7Nothing - Victories

I '7as:the condition of things: With the Whigs

Nothings, and other insignificant fitetions of
.1
various complexions and diverse tendencies.—
in opposition to this heterogeneous combine
, tion of incongruous materials ; the Democratic
party could notrally, its forces with the unan
; imity. essential to a successful resistance to so
poweiful a pressUre. The Nebraska bill drove
off a considerable portion of the Northern
Democracy into an unnatural alliance with
the enemy. The secret infection of Know
-1 Nothingism corrupted the purity and impair
! ed the energy of such as were thought to stan.
firm. Thus, between open defection and hidden
treachery, the Democracy of the North were
so demoralized, as to be utterly incapable-of
making a successful stand against the' Vandal
irruption of the motley hordes which seem
for the moment to riot in the plunder and sp
liation so congenial to their instincts. There
is a fable which represents all ravenous beasts
arid birds of prey in league agaist the mon
arch of the forest—lin alliance into which they
were driven by a common fear and a common
hatred. So here, all factions and all creeds
consented to suspend their mutual jealouises
and enmities, and to wage a common war
against the party, under the shadow of whose
ascendency they have languished in helpless
exclusiOn froia power and office. But, as the
birds and the beasts in the fable fell to devour
ing one another after the subjugation of the
common foe, in like manner will ambition,
jealousy, greed of office, and the savage in
stincts of a fiendish nature foment discord and
strife among the leagued enemies of the De-
mocracy. •
The issue of the Northern elections wil
probably deceive some people into an exag
gerated estimate of the strength of the KnoW

Mrs.:Partington wondered, with characteristic
coherence of logic, that the rise of a little
quicksilver should make the- weather so iusuf
ferablY hot. It is equally preposterous, iu Mr.
Burke's sense of the word, to attribute the
Democratic defeats in Ohio and Pennsylvania
to the exertions of the Know-Nothings. These
people control the popular sentiment about as
much as the weather-cock controls the wind.
They claim to direct the course of the stream,
but they only swim with the current. An in- ;
significent element in a vast confederacy, they
would yet monopolize all the glory of victory.
With the valor of Fallstaff, they shoulder a
lifeless body, and appproriate the applause
due to the achievements of another. The
true, efficient cause of the defeat of the North
ern Democracy is too manifest to be misunder
stood. The agency of the Know-Nothings is
but an insignificant element in the calculation.
There is nothing, then, in the result of th
Northern elections to frighten the Democrati
party. For our part we are disposed rather to
rejoice at the issue. Success, and the posses
sion of power, will develop the elements o
jealousy and hatred in the opposition which
are suppresped for the moment, and will thu.
hasten the! restoration of the Democracy.
The ascen6ncy of an incongruous combine
tion of incompatible isms must be short-lived
Better, then, for the party that storm shoul
comenow, and expend its fury before the nex
election of President. The popular intelligent
does not suffer a long eclipse. Fraud and de
ception may triumph for a moment, but th
sober reflection and sagacity of the masses
will speedily restore the reign of reason an
right. Know-Nothingism, allying itself t
every element of opposition, may achieve a
partial success over the Democracy, but the re-l i
action will surely come, the delusion Will b
dissipated, and the idol pulled down from it
usurped dignity, and rolled in the. dust ami
the hootings of the multitude.
The Democratic party should not be dis
mayed. For ourselves, we mean to abat
nothing from the energy and zeal of opposi
tion to Know-Nothingism. We have fough
the thing from the start, and will fight it t
the end, not doubting that the good sense an
generous impulses of the people will ultimat
ly give us the victory.—Richmond Enquirer:,
Prohibit ion
The result of the vote on prohibition shows;
says the Pittsburgh Union, that the people
have decided against a prohibitory liquor lawl
This ie doubtless contrary to the expectations
of many.persons; and as the Know-Nothing
claim the credit of every victory, we presum
they will attribute the defeat of the Main
Law to their private exertions. With Lan
caster and Berks both arrayed against th
measure, it will hardly do to say, that either
of the parties in the field espoused the cause
of either Maine Law or whiskey. But at th
same time, the indications are, that the Den;
°credo districts have not generally been so
favorable as Whig districts to the proposed
change in legislation. One reason of this ma •
be, that the moment the Maine Law was firs
spoken of, the Whig party took it under it
peculiar protection, and endeavored to make a -
much capital as possible out of fits agitation
In the County Conventions in this region,
tachment to the provisions of that law was re
qulred as a test of faith; and all old soakerS
who obtained Whig nominations, wore supt
posed to be sent to Harrisburg with a double
purpose of illustrating .practically the evils oi"
intemperance, and enforcing in theory .the
claims of a legislative remedy. •
To such an extent was this question sought
to effect the result of the State elections, that
Gov. Bigler's lefter was pronounced unsati+
factory by temperance men, because he would
not promise to sanction any kind of a law 'Omit
the House and Senate might see fit to pasS.
The men who decided this were, we believe,
mostly Whigs, who had decided between the
candidates for Governor, before they wrote
their letters. But the attempt to make citp-
tal against the Democratic candidate by mea
of an appeal to temperance men as such, w
felt by the Democratic party to be an act f
political trickery, which aimed to sacrifice
these candidates without any just cause. We
think that the temperance men have themselvls
to blame for the defeat of theirfaverite measure.
There was nooccasion for their unceasingefforts
to form a separate political organization. There
was no necessity for them to accept the kinpf
overtures of the Whigs to take them under their
protection. They did not need to make wrir
on the Democratic party under the influencle
of Whig dictation. They should have remem
bered that a measure such as they propose to
carry, was only to succeed by the united
support of men of all parties and that the
endorsements of Whigs, who had been tro -
bled with mania potu, as sound temperan e
men, to the exclusion of Democrats who hi d
been known as temperate men all- their liv •
was not the policy to convince the latter if
the sincerity of the temperance leaders. Th y
have chosen their own course, however, a.d
we see the result.

of Mr. Motr, and denied in the most emphat
ic terms the imputationief hie connection with
the Know-Nothings which- , were published in
the opposition presses. In doing so we, relied
not only upon his manly letter, but upon our
knowledge! of the man, upon the assurance of
the sterling Democracy of the region in which
he resides,land upon the fact that he was mak
ing strenuens exertions for the success' of his
colleagues 'upon the Democratic State Ticket.
The action of the Know-Nothings in making
him their nominee, however, and the fact that
they have voted for him, (although they were
evidently induced to pursue that course for
the reason, that Mr. DARSIE, his opponent, was
an adopted citizen, and because they wished to
blind 'Democrats as to the real object of their
organization by having one Democrat upon
their ticket,) has thrown around his position
a shadow which we rejoice to say is now com
pletely dispelled. The letter addressed to Mr.
MOTT was written by gentlemen residing in
his own District, several of whom are well
known to the Democracy of the State. They
are familiar with his course during the can
vass, and with his character. His manly an
swer, will, we trust, set at rest all doubts
which may have existed upon the subject, and
will we are sure rejoice the Democracy of the
I State, and thoroughly satisfy them that the
confidence they have bestowed on Mr. Mon
has not been misplaced :—Pennsylvanian.
MERCHANTS' HOTEL,
Philadelphia, Oct. 16, 1854.
COL. HENRY S. MOTT,
Dear Sir -:—Having been your intimate
friends, and having witnessed your course in
politics fur many years, we have never known
an occasion where our confidence in your per
sonal integrity and political orthodoxy- has
wavered fora moment. You can readily rea
lize our surprise and indignation, therefofe,
when we heard your name associated with a
secret and proscriptive organization, after youf
had formally accepted a nomination fur Canal
Commissioner of Pennsylvania from the Dem
ocratic party, whose advocate you have always
been, and whose principles you have ever de
fended. Your letter peremptorily and posi
tively denying all connection with this Order,
published in August last, was regarded as
abundantly satisfactory at the time it, appear
ed; but notwithstanding this broad 'and em
phatic denial, and iu the face of your offer at
all times, to make any further statement that
your friends might require; we are pained to
see that many Democrats continue to regard
you as identified with this clandestine and pro
scriptive Order. The flirt that you have been
largely voted for by the members of this Order
ir, still evidently the real cause of this suspicion.
We know how sensitively you feel any ipqm
tation upon your personal and political char-
aoter—we know how unjust any such suspi
cion is—we know how ardently you cherish the
Democratic party—we know that you would
schrn to belong to any other political organi
zailim, and above all, how much you are o.
posed to all secret combinations for political
purposes—we know, too, that in your own
county of Pike, you were the bold, active, and
public opponent of Know-Nnthingism, as the
result of the late election in that county will
show. We know that night and day before
that election, you were engaged in contradict
ing the declaration that you belonged to this
Order, and in rallying your friends in opposi
tion to it,' and in support of your colleagues on
the Democratic ticket. We know, finally, how
proudly you can repel ally and all assaults, in
the slightest degree affecting your standing as
a Democrat and a citizen: While we cheer-
fully,pledge ourselves to the Democratic party
of Pennsylvania, that you are as true to the
Democratic faith as any man living, and as
hostile to the Order of Know-Nothings as its
most conscientious and most uncompromising
opponent, we address you this letter to give
you an opportunity over your own name, to
answer these unfounded assaults of your foes
and the mistaken suspicions of your friends.
Respectfully yours,
AEA PACKER,

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 16, 1854
GENTLEMEN : lam grateful to you as old
and valued friends for the generous and
eloquent letter you have addresSed to me.—
You do me no more than justice in expressing
the belief that I have not had, and have not
now, the slightest connection with any secret
political organization however called; and I
feel that I deserve your confidence as a Dem
ocrat and a man as fully and as entirely at the
present day, as at any former period. To the
same extent do I feel entitled to the confidence
of the Democratic 'party of Pennsylvania.
When the imputation that I was a member 0
the secret order to which you refer was made,
I took the first proper occasion to repel it in
strong, unmeasured and emphatic language.
I proposed to add to this denial any other that
might be.required at my hands. It is alleged
in some of the Whig papers that I did not
again and again repeat this contradiction.—
But I prize my own character too highly—l
value my principles too dearly—l have labored
too long and too zealously in the Democratic
ranks to deem it necessary that I should vol
unteer a reply to every imputation upon my
standing as a Democrat. . . .
All that you say of my opinions in regard
to this accusation, I cheerfully endorse; and I
am glad that I have had furnished to me an
opportunity that enables me at the same time
to point to you, gentlemen, as my hostages
and once more to declare that / I am not now,
and never have been a member of any other
political organization but the Democratic par
ty. When I became the candidate of the
Democratic party for Canal !Commissioner,
I depended upon that alone foil my election.—
While I shall carefully study the interests
of the whole • people, I can represent the
interests of no other party in the official po
sition I am about to assume. I am for the
largest degree of civil and religiops lib
erty, and cannot subscribe, and never have
subscribed to' the doctrine that any citizen
known to the Constitution as such, shall be
proscribed from civil office, or in any degree
debarred of his rights because of his religious
belief or the place of his birth.
In the late canvass, I diligently exerted my
humble abilities to secure the triumph of the
Democratic party and its principles, and to
advance the success of my able -and well tried
colleagues on the ticket, and it is with pride
and pleasure that I refer to the result in my
own section of the State, and particularly in
my own representative district, as an evidence
of the.trtith of what I say. lam aware that
the confidence of a few of my Democratic
friends has been somewhat disturbed by the
peculiar circumstances which surround my
position,: but I trust this definition of my views
and actions may satisfy all:
Truly, your friend,
HENRY S. MOTT.

The above report is as near literal as it is
possible to make it. If it commers abrupt

Of course, it is impossible to put on paper the

gesticulation, for which the Col. is so noted,
when he endeavors to screen his real position
behind a mist of savage volubility. Ile evi

and circumstances, were all new to him. It
was his first public Know-Nothing speech ;
and although he dropped the mask which he
has been wearing for some years, and public

ashamed of the position in which lie found

Q. IN 4 CORNER.
A DREADFUL TRAGEDY.—Ai Greene, Che
mung county, New York, a returned Califor
nian named Davis had a misunderstanding
with his wife, which led to separation. Davis
met his brother-in-law, with ivhom his wife
resided, and after a brief conversation, they
parted, when he drew a revolv4 and shot his
relative in the back, killing hiin instantly.—
He then proceeded in search of his wife,whom
he also shot, and she expired in a short time
after. s.s a fitting climax to this scene of
ho'rror, the wretched man turned the weapon
upon his own breast and slew himself.
Coal Shipments Suspended.—The coal op
erators in Schuylkill county have combined to
suspend shipments of Coe). for the present, al
leging as an excuse for this extortionate act,
that the wages of laborers are too high to en
-able them to carry on mining without loss.—
The consequence is, that the Reading Rail
road is almost entirely without bus ness from
that source, the amount transports this week
being only 28,000 tons, against an average
weekly transportation of over 50,000 tons,
which has been made for some time past.— , -
The supply in the yards at Philadelphia is
said to be not more than enough for a week's
consumption.
We think tho operators have by this move
ment, unwisely undertaken to kill the goose
that lays the golden egg. Say what they will
they cannot convince the public that while in
the receipt of the enormous advance on last
year's prices, they are unable to pay the very
small proportionate increase in miners' wages
'Phis grasping and monopolizing spirit, will,
they may be assured, sooner or later, react up
on them with a force which -will prove most
disastrous to their permanent interests ; for
"timo at last brings all things even." The im
mediate removal of the duty on foreign Coal,
they may lcucalate upon to a certainty, as
soon as Congress re-assembles. And although
they may fear no present effect upon their
business from such a step, (for we have seen
it somewhere stated that the 'highest amount
of foreign coal that can be imported, this sea
son, would fall far short of supplying the ex
isting demand,) yet the coal trade is not for a
day or a year; and American enterprise, stim
ulated by attempts at imposition, will not be
slow to "find a way or snake a way" to obtain
fuel independently
. of the Schuylkill and Le
high region, which, compared with the coal
fields of the world that might be opened upon
the spur of necessity, are entirely too narrow
a sphere for the game of monopoly to be suc
cessfully played.—Reading Gazette.
M. A Hard At.—The Cincinnati Gazelle,
referring to the fact that several paupers from
Europe had been shipped back by the author
ities of Boston, says;
"We may not object to having paupers sent
back to the place from whence they came, only
it strikes us that a city which permits a Police
Court to send back white men and women
three thousand miles across the ocean, because
they. are poor, ought not to make so much fuss
about a commissioner sending a negro back to
Virginia, because he is a slave. That's all."
Gov. REVDER IN KANSAS.—Gov. Reeder land
ed at Fort Leavenworth, which will be his
home for the present. He was greeted on his
arrival at the Fort with the national salute,
and a public reception was given him
A Bridge over the Mississippi.—:-The subject
of a bridge over this great river at St. Louis
is discussed in the newspapers. It is suggested
that the bridge ought to have an' elevation of
ninety feet. It would cost a million and a
half of dollars, an amount deemed insignificant
compared with its advantages.
Heavy Robbery.—H. Restenbatt, a passen
ger on the train from Baltimore to Philadel
phia, on Tuesday evening, was robbed of $4,
500. in notes of the Banks of Lebanon, Lancas
ter, Reading and Harrisburg. He o#ers a re
ward of $5OO for infOrthation that will lead to
the detection of the robbers and the recovery
ofthemoney.
THE FAIR AT COLUMBO
We paid a hasty visit to the Fhir ground at
Columbia yesterday, and were ulna gratified
at the exhibition. There were '
several thou.
sand persons on the ground, and the articles
exhibited were highly creditablel to old Lan
caster county. The Cattle andl horses wore
very fine, although nut very numerous. Those
for draught, for the road, and fur carriages,
in our opinion far exceed those on exhibition
at the State Fair at Philadelphih.
The wheat, corn and vegetabhis were finer;
also the specimens of fancy neeillework, and
embroidery. The mechanicalto4s, machinery
and implements were equal td any that we
have ever seen. And there were also specimens
of a great variety of cereal crops, which we
think are not surpassed by any part of the
country. The whole was arraluged in good
taste and order„ and presented a. Iltittering
proof of what is done and Can be dune
on the soil of the garden county of the Union.
There were a number of kinds ur corn, ;wheat,
&c., which we had never seen i before:. The
apples, pears, ikc., wore of great variety, and
the finest, by Mr, that we have seen this sea
son. As this first exhibition, which has been
attended witlrunpromising cireunistances, has
,turned out so well, .We think that hereafter
they will prove the most useful and attractive
of any ill our State.—biland Ddyy ty' Friday.
