CiEO. SANDERSON, EDITOR
Lancaster, October 81, 1854.
Atiilr Dr. JOHN C. STANLEY is now on a tour
of collection for us - in Columbia > and the ad
joining districts. We hope our subscribers in
that region will give him ahearty welcome.
No other person is authorized to make collec
tions for the INTELLIGENCES.
'The organ of Messrs. FRAZER and Au-
WAKE, in its anxiety to shield its masters for
their treachery to, and apostacy from the De
mocratic party, parades a string 8f charges
against the Chairman of the Democratic Coun
ty Committee, and the Editor of the Intelli
gencer, not one of which has the remotest ap
proximation to truth. Every allegation in the
last issue of that paper, made against "lead
ing Buchanan Democrats," as Messrs. FRAZER
and AitiVAKE are pleased to call us and others,
are downright, positive falsehoods from begin
ning to end, and the nominal Editor, who has
to father them at the bidding of his masters
and dictators, knows them to be such. For the
originating and propagating of one of these
infamous slanders against ourself, we have an
unsettfrd account with at least one of his mas
ters, which we shall not fail to adjust at the
proper time and place. But-we shall hOld him
responsible--not the poor tool who is obliged
to publish everything that his employers re
quire. In any future ;ontroversy we may be
forced into with these apostates and traitors,
we shall notice the nzasters—not the man ; and
if they choose to call to their aid a " Cumber
land Conntr Correspondent," we shall attend
to him also, and read his character to the peo
ple of Pennsylvania, in a way which will,
.erhaps, be anything else than agreeable to
that gentleman.
Thes men have a perfect right...to join, as
they have done, the Woolly-Head Know-Noth
ing Whig party; but they have no right to lay
any claim to, or make any pretensions of friend
ship for, the Democratic party. By helping The
Whigs, Know-Nothings, Abolitionists, &c. &e.,
to defeat the Democratic State and County
Ticket, they have expatriated themselves from
the party with whom they heretofore professed
to act, and for the future will he considered
as a constituent part of the Abolition Know-
Nothing wing of the Whig party, under the
control of Messrs. STEVENS, FRAZER and
AMTVAKE.
141,-The Editor' of the Carlisle Volunteer
might be better employed at home, than in at
tempting to bolster up the rotten, decayed pol
iticians of Lancaster County.
We spoke kindly of Mr. TODD, the Con
gressman elect from the Cumberland district,
after his election, as we would do of any friend,
and we are not aware that in so doing we
committed an offence against either decency or
propriety. We have
,long had the pleasure
of an intimate personal acquaingance with
that gentleman, and have always found him
to be high-minded, honorable and true-heart
ed to his friends. Yea more, we happen also
to know, that from 1838 to 1845 he did more,
both by speaking and writing, for the Demo
cratic party than any man of his age in Cum
berland county. 'Knowing this fact, and ap
preciating his well known talents and energy
of chara:Aer, (without at all sanctioning his
course in running against the regular nominee
of the party, which we do not,) we merely ex
pressed the opinion that upon every important
question, save one, he would be found acting
with the Democratic party. We still think so,
and shall be disappointed in the man if he pur
sues a different course.
Our attachment to the principles of the
Democratic party are such, that we would
have voted for and advocated the election of
Mr. BONHAM, the regular 'candidate of the pa
ty, had we resided in the district—although it
is notorious that but a few years ago he was
()ilea the rankest disorganizers in the State,
a fact which will hardly be denied by that
gentleman himself. On the score of consist
ency,*erefore, we cannot, for the life of us,
perceive,that he has any claim on the confi
dence of the people over and above his suc
cessful competitor. If Mr. BRATTON can, his
vision is more acute than his neighbors—for
-Optics sharp it needs, we weep
To see what is nut to be seen."
wZr The charge made iu the organ of the
Disorganizers that any arrangement was made
by leading Democrats, by which votes were
taken from LEFEVER and given to HIESTER, is
entirely destitute of foundation—a lie manu
factured from the whole cloth. Every possi
ble effort was made here, by "leading Demo
crats," to give the full party vote to Mr. LE
FEVER, and those who cut him and v .. .oted for
either of the Whig candidates (for quite as
many voted for ROBERTS as did for Heister, at
the urgent solicitation of the leading disor
-ganizers, Whose anxiety- was very great to se
cure the election of the Woolly-Head can
didate) did so without the knowledge or
consent of the men referred to by the above
mentioned sheet. Of a piece is the charge that
an overture was made to the Silver Grey wing
of the Whig party, by "leading Buchanan
Democrats," to drop their entire County Ticket
and suppOrt the Whig County Ticket, if they
(the Silver Greys) would drop Comly and vote
for the Democratic candidate for Judge. Both
charges are equally false and unfounded ; and
they come with a had grace from a miserable,
corrupt faction who sold themselves, body. and
breeches, to the Woolly Head Know Nothing
Whi g ©, and opposed tooth and naiLthe Demo
cratic State and County Ticket.
lam" The Laileasterian and Saturday Ex
press both insist that Col. MOTT is a Know-
Nothing, notwithstanding his prompt and un
qualified disclaimer of the charge. Some men
measure other people's honesty and veracity
by their own standard !
The latter paper makes an admission which
was hardly to have bden expected from the
Editor, who is one of the tribe. Speaking of
the vote of Col. Mon' in Pike county, the
place of his residence, and presuming that
there is a Lodge of Know-Nothings there,
(which is dotibtful,) the Express man says—
" Certainly each of the fifty-one members the
number of votes he run ahead of his colleagues
on the State ticket in that County] of it would
know whether Mr. Mott belonged •Ate- BE
FORE THEY RISKED THEIR SOUL'S
SALVATION BY WILFUL AND DELIBE
RATE PERJURY."
Here, then, we have in black and white,
from one of the fraternity, an acknowledge
ment that the members of this new proscrip
tive Order, are solemnly sworn to carry out
their doctrines, and vote for no man who is
not a member thereof—on pain of risking their
soul's salvation , by committing wilful and de
liberate perjury !
We ask the reflecting portion of our readers
to think of • this. We shall have more to Say
on the subject hereafter.
/3.e' Governor BIGLER was handsomely ser
enaded -at Washington City, on Monday
- night of last week, and responded by an
eloquent and appropriate address. Al
though defeateded by a combination of all
the isms and factions of the day, no Execu
tive has ever left the Gubernatorial chair of
Pennsylvania with a greater degree of Confi
dence on the part of the true democracy of the
State and Nation, than he will do in January
next.
The Lancaster County Democracy I
In calmly taking otglast view of the battle
field,uponwliich the DeMoCiacy foUght against
the new "allied powers," led on by its ancient
enemy, on the 10th instant, we cannot refrain
from again expressing our admiration at the
conduct of the sturdy, true,nnwa.vering Dem
ocratic phaltinx of Lancaster county. With
a majority against it for the last twenty years
of from three to five thousand, without the 1
power of electing a single political dj.end to
any office of profit or honor in the County—
this trusty; this noble phalanx has always I
cheerfully and gallantly buckled on the armor, !
at the first tap of the drUm or sound of the
war trumpet, calling to arms the legions of
Democracy, either in Maintenance or defence
of their time-cherished principles. Such is 1
the band of Democratic brothers in Lancaster 1
county. There is no "corps" belonging to it
who fight for wages Only—it goes into battle, ,
certain of defeat on its own battle ground.—
The
disinterestetl and noble purpose of aiding
its DeMocratic brethren of other portions of 1
the State, and of other States in the Union, in
electing State and National officers, is the sole
stimulant which leads it into action. .
I
There are counties and districts in Penn- ,
sylvania, so largely Democratic that our friends '
there can scarcely fail in electing their whole
ticket, from Congress down to Prison In
spector. They can thus reward each other for
the toil, the time, the mpney necessarily ex
pended in conducting a political campaign,
especially i this "progressive age." But in
i );,.
Lancaster c my it is very different. Here
the Democrat motto, is—"all work and no
pay." We ght for principles. Our Demo
cracy has nothing to stimulate, encourage and
keep the party together, but the integrity of
purpose, the devotion to our glorious Union,
'the indomitable courage and will of its mem
bers, which nothing can conquer—no power
can prostrate. Their ranks may be crushed
by the power of numbers—but the same spirit
which has always led those ranks into battle,
which warmed the heart and nerved the arm
of every Democratic soldier, never desert them.
'rhey „ tall but to rise again, faithful and vigor
ous as ever. Hence it is that we claim some
praise, if not gratitude, for the true-hearted
Democracy of Lancaster county, from their
brethren in other and different political atmos
pheres. Bcause we have a fearful adversary
to contend against, is no reason, that we should
be slighted. In our weakness here we are
1 'strong for the State and Nation.
For years past the bemocratic vote of this
County has ranged in the neighborhood of six
thousand—iilnce it bordered closer on seven
thoruaa_lslt'At the Governor's election in 1851
WILLIAM BIGLER received 6226 votes. At the
Presidential election of 1852, the Democratic
Electoral Ticket got 6578 votes, and 'yet the
Whig Electoral Ticket beat that vote in the
county, by 5058 majority I Thus it will be
seen that the Democratic party of Lancaster
county can lend material aid in the elections
for Governor and other State officers, and
Presidents and Vice Presidents of the United
States ; whilst its own reward can be nothing
more than a proud consciousness of having
performed its duty, by fighting for the main
tenance of the great principles upon which it
is founded.
A quarter of a century ago, the Democratic
party was slightly in the ascendant in Lan
caster county. It made the first material in
road upon the Federal ranks, wo believe, at
the Presidential election of 1824, when AN
nazw JACKSON was in - the contest. It contin
ued to gather strength and power, until a new
scheme of its cunning tidversary sprung into
existence a party or faction, which they chris
tened "Anti-Masonry." The doctrine or creed
professed by this faction, was "hostility to all
secret societies."- Its avowed object, at the
period of its organization, was to put down
and blot out of existence, a secret society
known as "FREE MASONS." The first political
sermon preached by this now sect, was that
"All Seeret Societies are Danyerou.9 to the Lib
erties ty . our Country!"
The Democratic party, as we have stated,
at this time had a small majority in Lancas
ter County, which was gradually increasing.
But the mad dou of faction was let loose
among the people, and thousands were bitten;
—these run mad and bit others, and the mal
ady spread to a fearful extent. The Democrat
ic ranks were broken down by the inroads of
this faction in its mad career. But the hawk
eye of the cunning author of its being, kept a
strict wiitch upon poor Anti-Masonry. Its
doom was written at the nioment of its birth ;
and so soon as the work was done for which it
was brought into a mushroom existence, it
was "crushed out," excommunicated, blotted
from the political register of its unnatural pa
rent. The name of "Anti-Masonry" was no
longer heard of—All, all was swallowed—name,
fame and Matter—by the great modern Wuto
party ! Since that time, however, the Demo
cratic party of Lancaster county, which never
has courted, or bribed, or purchased the vote
of any faction—has been kept in a minority,
and has maintained its organization, with no
stimulant but principle.!
At the end_of a quarter of a century, since
Anti-Masonry first showed itself, another fac
tion has sprung into life. Although this fac
tion, an intended auxiliary of the Whig party,
is the offspring of thg' same parent that gave
vitality4o Anti-Masonry, yet it is the antipode
of its elder brother, in its profession of faith.
The first was based upon a platform, from
which it was proclaimed, that "All Secret So
cieties or Associations were Dangerous to the
Liberties of the Country !" It hurled its anath
emas against all such Associations, and deter
mined never tolsheath the sword until the Ma
sonic Fraternity was exterminated I although
that was a benevolent and not a political society,
as the abandoned leaders of the Crusade well
knew at its commencement. It failed, howev
er, to effect the professed object of its organi
zation, by prostrating the Masonic Fraternity;
but partially succeeded in the accomplishment
of its real object, by temporarily defeating the
Democratic party. In the State, the strength
of the party soon recovered from the shock—
but in this County, that victory has yet to be
achieved. The new party, or faction, which
made its grand debut, and producbd such fear
ful havoc at the recent election, on the 10th
inst., was formed, moulded, and drew its first
breath of life, in secret I It professes and pro-
claims itself to be a SECRET ASSOCIATION ! Its
members are bound by the most solemn oaths,
not to divulge the secrets which bind together
its discordant materials! Enough has been
published of its political creed, however, to
exhibit the main object of its creation—to mark
its hostility to the cherished principles which
have always formed the platform of the Demo
°retie party, as based upon the Constitution,
which gives to the people of this country polit
ical protection and liberty. Yet,strange to say,
this new and now strong faction, can claim the
same Parentage which gave birth to Anti-Ma
sonry, the sworn enemy of all Secret Associa
tions ! Anti-Masonry declared the purposes
of its organization openly—every body knew
them—it made a public demonstration, and
called loudly for aid to put doivn the Masonic
Fraternity, because it was a Secret Society.—
Now, some of the same leaders (we could place
our finger upon them) who brought that fac
tion into life, and afterwards strangled and
threw it into the power of the Whig party,
have been the prime instigators in giving birth
to the new and mysterious Association, known
by the name of "Kliow-NoraiNos"—whose
proud boast is that it is a "Secret Association!"
Not a secres benevolent Association;. like Ma
sonry, but a secret political Association—an
Association that holds its meetings in secret,
makes lairs nominations for office in secret,'
has its secret grips and p:ias-words, and binds
its members by the most solemn oaths to keep
all the secrets of the Order even ,from their
nearest friends and neighbors, who are not
members
The Fathers and Ladders of Anti-Masonry
hate lately ushered into existence this new se
cret Order, and have become its leaders in Lan
caster County. Twenty-five years, these
shrewd managers believe, is long enough to
erase from memory such trifling reminiscences
—and their gross, disgusting inconsistency
will not be marked by their present or former
victims. But they are egregiously mistaken.
They have been already mistaken in their cal
culations. They have raised a storm they can
not allay or control. The bantling they have
created has become too strong and refractory
for their curb; and instead of forming a perma
nent coalition with the Whig party, hereafter,
as originally intended,it will set up for itself!
This will leave the respectable portion of the
old Whig party, who must be sickened of all
connection with faction by this time, to ask
the question, propounded to himself by the
great WEBSTER, "where shall I go ?" The
fable of the countryman and the snake is like
ly to be exemplified—the Serpent of Know-
Nothingism will most likely sting to death
the kind nurse who warmed it into life.
Let us sum up. The Whig party, with the
aid of its new auxiliary, has elected its nominee
for Governor. But who will claim the Execu
tive after his inaugural christening? Will he
belong to the Whigs or the Know-Nothings
—to the Parent or the Child ? "Jordan is a
hard road to travel)" but the victory must
belong to somebody. In this County, however,
we should be glad to see the victors stand forth
and proclaim their triumph. The Whigs have
graciously yielded the member of Congress, to
their last born baby. They have kindly per
mitted their candidate, ISAAC E. HEISTER, a
gentleman of acknowledged ability—possessed
of more useful talent, elements of popularity
and future promise as a Representative, than
any member the Whig party have lately sent
to Congress from this County-to be merciless
ly killed off. On the other hand, they have
lost two members of the Legislature to the
Democracy—and all owing to the conduct of
their new bantling and ally, the Know-Noth
ings. Look out for squalls at the next election.
General TUADDEUS STEVENS, with his new
Lieutenants and Aid-de-can - iris, Messrs. REAR
FRAZER and JACOB B. AMWAKE, are at the
head of the new Recruits! Look out, we say—
" Moccasin Tracks," "Tape Worms," "Tall
Cliffs!" and '`Cotton Bellies" ahead.
Recent 'Victories of the Fusionists
The New York Journal of Commerce, with
characteristic sagacity, "shrewdly guesses"
that "it will turn out that the defeat of many
of the Democratic candidates in Pennsylvania,
Ohio; and Indiana, is attributable to a grand
combination of all the isms, upon this their
only common ground, viz., hatred to the
Democracy; and upon this their only chance
of success, viz., a pull altogether. If by any
possibility they should get the upper hand for
a time, it needs no seer to foretell that they
would very soon quarrel among themselves,
being like a conglomeration of pebbles, with
out natural cohesion, and only kept together
by an outward pressure.
"While it is admitted that the number of
opponents to the Nebraska bill in the delega
tions to the next Congress from tho three
States just mentioned, will be greater than
in the delegations to the present Congress
from the same SLates, it is to be noted that
not every one who would have voted against
the bill as an original measure, will vote fur
repeal. It may also be presumed that the
Southern delegation to the next Congress will
he unanimous against repeal. . The seven
States which prior to Pennsylvania, Ohio, and
Indiana, elected Representatives, added noth
ing to the Anti-Nebraska strength in that body
compared with the delegations from the same
States in the present Congress. On the whole,
we see no reason for believing that a majority
of the next House of Representatives will be
in favor of restoring the Missouri Compromise
—and if by chance such a majority should
be found, it will be entirely unavailing, as
both the Senate and the Executive will con
tinue to be in favor of the law as it stands.
"The State elections, thus far, will add lit
tle or nothing to the Anti-Nebraska strength
in the Senate. In Ohio, a Nebraska Senator
(Pugh) has been elected in place of Chase
(Free Soil,)—another in Georgia,—Arkansas,
Missouri, Florida, California and North Caro
lina, have chosen Legislatures which will elect
Nebraska Senators,—the vacancy in Vermont
will be balanced by the vacancy in North
Carolina—several of the States - which will
elect Anti-Nebraska Senators, are represented
in the same way at present,—and in short,
the chance of electing an Anti-Nebraska Sen
ator in New Hampshire, Pennsylvania, Indiana,
Illinois, and lowa, is about the whole chance
which remains, of increasing the Anti Nebras
ka strength in the U. S. Senate.
"On the whole, the Anti-Nebraskaites can
hardly do better than 'acquiesce' in the exist
ing law, seeing it is beyond their power to re
peal it After the November elections there
will be no great motive for agitation. Kansas
will soon be knocking for admission into the
Union with a free Constitution, and who is he
that would exclude her? Nebreska will be
along in due time. Freedom of popular action
is the safest road to freedom in general."
Official Vote for State Officer■
The following aggregate of the number of
votes oast for each candidate and the majori
ties of the successful ones, is taken from the
Harrisburg papers, and believed to be very
nearly correct according to the official returns
in the Secretary of the Commonwealth's office:
FOR GOVERNOR:
204,008
167,001
POLLOCK had
BIGLER, "
POLLOCK'S maj
FOR CANAL COMMISSTONRR:
MOTT had
DARSIE "
MOTT'S maj.
FOR SUPREMB JUDGE
BLACK had
BAIRD "
SMYSER "
BLACK'S maj. Oyer BAIRD,
When the official returns are opened and
counted by the Legislature, we shall be ena
bled to publish a correct table in every par
ticular—but not until then.
BS.. The American Register, one of the
Know-Nothing organ;; in this City—for we
believe nearly all the papers in town except
our own lean a . .at way—has changed hands,
and is now 'imblished by Messrs. M. M. Ron-
RER and 5. F. HUBER. Their first number
contains a savage attack on Co). JOSEPH B.
BexTen, Superintendent of the Railroad, for
discharging some six or seven Know-Nothings
among them one Irishman!) from the State
Shops at Parkesburg. Mr. B. did right, and
if there are "any more of the same sort left,"
he should give them a walking ticket without
delay. If men will desert the party that has
nourished them for years and go over to the
enemy, they deserve no better fate.

Late Foreign News.
From the foreign arrivals we gather the
following items:
The allies have invested Sebastapol on thi
south and east, and the guns of their sieg.
trains were playing upon the walls. Menschi
koff, the Russian General, maintains his pOs
ition on the north and is expecting reinforce
ments. He has obstructed the harbor of Se
bastapol, by sinking seven ships of the lin.
across the entrance.
ANOTHER RAILROAD ACCIDENT.—A- young
man, named Thomas Beady, who resided in
Philedelphia, was killed near Parkesburg, on
Saturday morning the 21st inst., under the
following circumstances. It appears he had
left Philadelphia for the purpose of attending
the funeral of his mother who was to be buried
on Saturday: and that.after the funeral service
was over, he in company with another young
man got upon a freight train for the purpose
of returning to. Philadelphia. After proceed
ing some distance an agent on the train ap
proached and demanded money. Beatly told
him hehad no right to the money and that he
would pay at Coatesville. He, however, in
sisted upon having it then, and threatened'
that if he did not receive it he would throw
hbri from the . cars. The other still refused
when the agent threw him from the cars.
His companion saw the cars going over him
when he, touched the ground, and when the
train reached Coatesville left it. The agent,
however, refused to go back to where young
Beatly lay. The next train going, east took
him up and the engineer upon examination,
found ho had been shockingly mangled. He
was conveyed to his home in Philadelphia,
where he soon, after died.
The Coroner summoned a jury, who after
investigating the facts in the case, rendered a,
verdict "That the deceased, Thomas Beatley
came to his death from injuries received by
being run over by Leech's freight' train; the
deceased being thrown from the train by the
agent, whose name is unknown to the jury."
We have since ascertained that the name of
f the agent is James Young. Mr. Y. has sur
rendered himself, and denies the charge, al
leging that he was not present at all when
the accident occured.

I' The St. LaniaDerneeratopeakingofthepro.l
posed repeal of the coal duties, says:
"The repeal of the coal duties will not be
felt by the . people of the west to any consider
able extent: . but we may.learn something from
this moveruentirand act upon the hint, for the
purpose of getting rid of the duties on Augers
and other ne;:essities•of life, with which the
western people are burthened. .Our members
of Congress, if not engrossed by profitless dis
cussions of slavery, might even give and take
help. Olive the eastern cities cheap ftiel, and"
take cheap sugar : for the west."
This is the right view of the subject. Let
the various sections of the republic unite thro'
their representatives and senators in congress
to make a 'general redress of grievances, and
each section's people will get rid of the politi
cal evil under which it labors. These evils
are of a political character, though they are,
strictly speaking, social in their! effects, and
in other countries would come under the head
of social evils. They have resulted from the
deliberate action of roguish politicians, and
were meant to have an existence. The "kil-
ling" prices that are now demanded for some
of the necessaries of life are the natural results
of that whig legislation which proceeded upon
the direct avowal that it was the duty of gov
erturnent to compel the people to pay dearly
for certain things with which few save canni
bals can dispense.. We were to be saved from
ruin thiough competition with " the pauper
labor of Europe" by being made paupers our
selves. We do not see how any' whig, who
really has faith in that farago of absublities
which passes for political economy with the
whig party, can have the impudence to com
plain of the high price of coal, even, if his own
children be freezing around him as the conse
quence of that price. Nothing more has haP
pened than the whigs have always said should
happen, what they have asserted it to be the
duty of all good citizens, and particularly of
government, to cause, to come about, so that a
sort of golden age might exist in the United
States, by which certain capitalists might find
it easy to make a great number of dollars,aud
a thousand times as Many laborers find dt dif
ficult to make a living of any kind.. High pri
ces have always been contended for by the
Whigs, and from the fear that they might nu
be made high enough in other ways, they have
demanded that articles of common consump
tion should be taxed, when. imiorted. They
haVe,'it is•true, declared that all they meant
by this was to make the article taxed cheaper;
but as they have never been able to make the
two contradictory things harmonise, we may
suppose that such talk was only a part of that
fraudulent game which makes up the sum to
tal of whig politics.
The whole system of "protection - must Lie
mode to fall. The passage of the 1.`346
was a move in the right direction, but it was
not so far in advance that no robin was left fur
further action. 'On the contrary, the tariff as
it is, is much too stringent and "protective:"
and we can measure the effect of the wicked
ness of the tariff of '42 by seeing what it is
that people rejoiced over as an improvement
unit, and no slight one either, eight year:: ago.
But we ought nut to Stand still because we
have escaped from a great evil. Men who es
cape frem shipwreck do not regard their work
as dune, nor should we. From the vantage
ground obtained in '46—and the value of the
tariff of that year is the proof that its, passage
has afibrded of the nonsense contained in the
productions of the whigs, that the high' tariff
of '42 could not be overthrown withmit carry
ing the country down with it—we should pro
ceed to'root up the whole system of "protec
tion." In that way we shall do something
that will have a great effect on prices. We
shall take from the monopolists one of their
surest means of plundering the poor. Their
operations in coal, by whim they are as much
robbers as if they were molesting travelers on
the highway, come naturally from the policy.
of the government, which has operated as a
sort of premium un plundering. Let us have
the duties removed lrom all the necessaries of
life, or levied at sue low rates as shall not be
able to materially i rease their prices. Let
us make another'st p in the direction of free
trade, and a long one too. Congress ought to
move in the matter'at the next session. Half
the time that is worse than wasted in discus
sing the everlasting subject of slavery, if ap
plied to a new arrangement of the tariff, would
suffice to produce incalculable good for poor
white people. We would have something
dope by the present Congress,because the next
house of representatives may nut be found so
friendly to the principles of free trade as the
present ought to be, with its eighty deinocrat
ic majority. We believe the adminstration
would be found warmly in favor of any liberal
legislation on commercial subjects.

THE MORTALITY IN LONDON.—AIIOtIIOr. ep

. fatally prevalent in London. It is called the
e "Black Death," after the appalling plague
which visited Europe in the fifteenth century.
Whether it is really that awful disease is not
known ; but it is supposed to be the same by
many, and the explanation given in London
of its prevalence at this time, is that two grave
yards, containing the remains of the victims
of the former plague in Westminster and
Hackney have been dug up to lay the founda
tion of a church and baths and wash houses.
The New York Daily Times expresses the
opinion that it is net the plague, as it is raro

says that it is what is called by the Germans
and English the sweating sickness.

Geo.Salnierson—Dear Sir: Shame been spending a few
days among some old Pennsylvania friends, who reside in
this beautiful and.romantio ♦alley.
Those of your seders, who arelkinillar 'with the proceed
ings of sundry nieetings held in - Kansas soon after the psi
sage of the Douglass till will doubtless remember ttiat
here it was that the Eflissiniel fire-eaters passed the flare*
resolution denunciatorYi of aH persons who do not believe
that their pro-slavery notions are correct. A large 'loaded..
tyof the men composing those meetings, were members of
the Platte county selficieffnuilye association, some of them
being thd men who offered the reward for the head of Eli
Thayer the President of the Now England Emigrant Aid
Society.
On Saturday last, Gov. A. Lialsioder arrived at Fort Lear
venworth upon the steamboat Polar Star. Ile was accom-
panied by his private secretary, cot. Isaacs, the U. S. Dis
trict Attorney, lion. fleniken, late Charge d' Affairs
to Denmirk, and other gentlemen.
Upon his arrival a national salute was fired, and In the
afternoon a very large number of the settlers called upon
him at the residence of Capt. Hunt of the U. S. Army,
whose guest ho was. After a general introduction to the
Governor, by invitation of Capt. 'Hunt the company gath
ered round the social board when Dr. Charles Lieb who
. was selected for that purpose, addressed and in behalf of
the settlers welcomed him to the territory. The reply was
truly eloquent, and by It and hls frank and cordial man
ner ho tompidtely won the hearts of all who were present.
I learn that the speeches of both gentlemen will be pub
lished in the /lerahl, a copy of which I will send you.
On Monday and Tuesday last there was a sale of lots io
Leavenworth city. There was a very large number of per.
sons present from different parts of the territory as wallas
Missouri. Notwithstanding the size of the lots, which are
24 by 125, on Monday 54 were sold ranging from $55 to
$350, while upon Tuesday 50 were sold at an average of
SI:N.I It is frequently the case that at sales of this kind
a large number of lots are "bid in" by the proprietors, but
this was not the case here; on the contrary, nearly all who
purchased design building immediately. Since the sale
quite a number have been disposed of to private buyers.--
Leavenworth city' lacks a few good blacksmiths, sho o .
makers, tailors, and indeed mechanics of every kind, and
if you have them to spare, send them at once. They will
find plenty to do, and the hard dollars to pay for their la
bor.
On Wednesday Gov. Reeder was called upon to act In a
iu which three men named S. H. Burgess and John
nd Wesley Davidson were charged with an assault with
nteut to kill F. S. Thompson and William Borden.
The ditliculty was occaaioned by a dispute about a claim
and (loc. Reeder after a fair examination admitted themto

each of the llacidsona in ten thousand.
Candidates are as thick as locusts were in Egypt—even
the Missourians are no greedy for office that occasionally
one of them tomes into the territory, euquires when the
election will be held, announcing himself as s candidate,
and then goes home. Ajyoung lawyer named Burns of
Weston, (Mu.) is one of these, and Col. W. 11.1tussel of In
dependence another. But these gentlemen willhave their
tails cut off by the squatters. , •
United States Senate
It being well settled that the Whigs and
their Know-Nothing allies will have a deci
ded majority in the next Legislature on joint
ballot, a violent discussion has already arisen
as to who shall have the honor of represent
ing the State in the Senate of the U. S., for
six years from the 4th of March.next, iu place
of the Hun. James Cooper, whose term of of
fice expires at that time. Ex-Gov. Johnston
appears to have the run at the present time,
but in the distance may be seen looming up
several smaller fry, among whom are General
William Larimer, of Pittsburg, Alexander E.
Brown, Esq., of Easton, lion. Robert 'l7. Con
rad, of Philadelphia, Thaddeus Stevens of
Lancaster, David Wilmot, of Bradford, Henry
S. Evans, of Chester, &c., &e. The family
fight is already becoming quite interesting to
the Democrats, who are coming along in the
burthen train and enjoying the fun amazingly.
How the farce will terminate, nobody cares;
but it is said that two of the Representatives
elect from Bucks, are pledged hi favor of an
ambitious aspirant in this county, who dreams
of huge-mountains of glory looming up before
him like a pillar of fire, in the distance.
The Simon Pure Know-Nothing candidate,
is Mayor Conrad of Philadelphia. He has
been informally selected, but still most stren
uous efibrs are making by the Abolition por
tion of the order to substitute Mr. Wilmot in
his stead. The latter gentleman was promised
this post by the Whigs on condition that he
would aid in the election of Pollock, and also
keep the North steady for the fusion candidate
for President in 1856. This was the bait
which led Mr. Wilmot to pursue the course
ho has. But now the fight is over, the spoils
are to be divided, and hence the difficulty
which looms up in the distance. The original
Know-Nothings are for Conrad. The eleventh
hour Abolition converts are for Wilmot, while
the Whigs are endeavoring by all kinds of
tricks to mask their real weakness from their
allies. Ex-Governor Johnston is an expert
and experienced political jockey, and has for
warded circulars and sent special messengers
into every county in the State. his agent
visited Bucks a few days since, but met with
little favor from the great Know-Nothing Dic
tator in this county. Our members, if they
cannot succeed with their own man, will fall
in ranks for Gen. William Larimer, of Alle
gheny county. This is the present condition of
the Senatorial fight in this State. Mr. Cooper
is not mentioned, as ho is not tainted with the
poison of infidelity to the constitution, nor
suspected of being willing to aid in establish
ing a religious test for offices in this republic
Our opponents have the power now, and with
it all the responsibility. The Democrats are
not in the ring, and can well afford to lay
back and "wait for the wagonl" In this re
spect they enjoy an enviable position. If the
country is ruined, we hope our opponents will
have more magnanimity than to charge its de
struction upon our friends. Gov. Bigler leaves
the country prosperous and happy, the state
credit unimpaired, the interest punctually
paid, a good currency, labor commands a high
reward, the farmer obtains a high price for
his produce, and land is going up. Democrats
make a note of things as they now stand, and
see how much our condition is improved by
Whig and Know-Nothing Government.—

the Whig vote in California was last year
relatively stronger than in any other of these

Speaking of sausages, reminds me of the price of board
in our city, which is really' worthy of note. Owing, no
doubt, to the great hue and cry about the robable failure
of the corn and potato crop, advantage has been taken of
it, and the price of board considerably advanced. At what
is called a good "Private Boarding Hoose,r or a "Fashion
able Boarding House," a gentleman,ocpylng, a room,
with three or four, is charged $5O per monnh. A man and
wife, who furnish their own room, is aiked to pay from
$5O to $75, according to the Situation of ,the room, and if
the landlord or landlady, furnishes the room $lO additional
is added! At a house not , quite sofuthtonstde from $2
to $5 per month less is the current rate. I The only differ
ence is, ai a fashionable Boarding House you pay your
money for the fancy plates and silverwarti before you, and
if you feel hungry when you get up from the table ' Ws
not so far to a "Bestaraunt," where you make agood
