The Iniuileipal Election
- As was anticipated by many, the muniCinal
election. on usszi resulted in the
election of nearly the entiie Know-Nothing
ticket, from Mayor down--the balance of the
tickets sharing the fate of , their head. But
Know-Nothingism per se could not have ay"
complished this result. Mayor KEEPFER had,
in addition to this, to encounter the opposi
tion of the entire Temperance vote of the City,
and also to bear the odium lof certain charges
made and industriously circulated against the
Councils of mismanagement and extravagance
in the financial affairs of the Corpora
tion, especially in relation to the Water Works
and new Market Houses. 'The load was too
great for one man - to bear, and he broke down
under it. -
Mayor KIEFFER has his faults—and who is
free from all fault—but he was, nevertheless
a competent , energetic arid efficient Chief
Magistrate, and during his three' years' ad
ministration the peace and good order of the
City was better, preserved than they had been
for 'several years previous.
His successor, Mayor ALBRIGHT, is a highly
respectable. man, and deserving of the honor
which has been conferred upon him by a ma
jority of his fellow-citizens. We hope and
trust that his administration may redound to
hie own credit, and be promotive of the good
order and general prosperity of the City.
The newly elected Councils are all Know-
Nothings. They have come into power with
great promises of retrenchment and re
form. They are now . in a position
to test the sincerity of their declarations, and
must "show their hand" whether or no. A
brief year will be sufficient to determine how
far they are disposed to fulfil their pledges to
people. We shall see what we shall see.
A Beautiful Gift
We witnessed a ceremony at Parkesbut, on
Saturday evening last which must have been
peculiarly gratifying to Col. JOSEPH B. BAKER,
the Superintendent of the Philadelphia and
Columbia Railroad. It wasa voluntary tribute
of repect from the workmen along the road to
that officer, and. consisted of a splendid and
magnificently finished SILVER TEA SETT, from
the manufactory of the Messrs. Baird, Phila
delphia, costing $650. The company consist
ed of some 50 ladies and about 500 gentlemen
Major McVmcn, of Parkesburg, presiding. Mr.
MONAGHAN, of West Chester, made the pres
entation speech, on behalf of the workmen,
which was responded to in a neat and pertinent
address by Col. BAKER. Both of these speech
es (ehou le-we obtain a copy in time) will be
published in our next issue. The meeting was
also addressed by Messrs. SWARR and SANDER
,sox, of Lancaster, and again by Mr. Mos-
AGHAN—when the company sat down to an
e.s , cellent supper, at the Parkesburg Hotel,
prepared at the expense of COI BAKER. Every
thing passed off decently and in order, and it
was ono of those interesting occasions which
will long be remembered by the hundreds who
participated in the ceremony.
Theophiln■ Fenn...Once More :
This wooden-nutmeg adventurer, instead of
%meeting the charges we preferred against him,
permits his columns to be used by some black
guard for the purpose of bespattering us with
his filth. Of course we do not hold Theophi
lus responsible, as it is well known that he is
nothing more or less than a hireling who has
to publish whatever his woolley-head masters
write for the Independent Whig. Such being
the case, and not willing to wallow with him
in ,the mire of blackguardism, we respectfully
decline any farther controversy, at this time,
with our neighbor. if the fight must go on,
we shall no longer act on the defensive, " but
carry the war into Atrica," and hold the mus
ters, not the man, responsible,
One of the Aldermen on theranti-Know-Moth_
ing tickets was elected, WILLIAM Wltcr;, Esq.,
in the South East Ward. This gentleman,
with the High Constable, two of the City Con
stables, and the four Inspectors, complete the
sum total of anti-Know-Nothing triumphs.—
The opponents of the underground party have
to be thankful for small favors now-a-days.—
Perhaps there is a better day coming.

HEARING OF THE CASE OF JOI7NSTUNI—TiIe
Court of Oyer and Terminer met on Thursday
last—all the Judges being present—for the_
purpose of hearing the argument on the mo
tion for a new trial and. arrest of judgment in
the case of Johnson convicted of murder_=
,The motion for a new r trial was withdrawn. by
the counsel for tie prisoner, and they relied
wholly on the motion for arrest of judgment.
The' point was ably argued on both sides, and
the Court deferred their decision until yester
day afternoon, at 3 orclook ; but as our paper
was put to press about .that hour, we are una
ble to tell what it was.
A Falling Oft
At the' election in October, Governor POI;
Lock: (the K,now-Nothing candidate) had a
majority of 587 in this city. At the election,
on Tuesday last, the. Know-Nothing majority
was reduced to 260—showing a falling off from
" Sam " of 327 votes since that time ! Ac
cording to this ratio of decrease in four months,
where will the Know-Nothings be at the next
trial of strength, eight months hence?
KNOW-NOTHISIGISM EXPOSED !—ln another
column will be found (copied from the Exam
iner) a communicatibn from Mr. H. A. Rock

Professor Tiffany
This gentleman, after:leaving here, re-de
livered his Know-Nothing Lecture before the
Young Men's Christian Association of the
Borough of York, on the succeeding evening
after his debut iu Fulton Hall. Are these
Associations also to be converted into Know-
Nothing Lodges ? Verily, it looks very much
like it in the town of York, when they will
employ such a politico-clerical demagogue to
lecture before them.
By the way, does this man, Professor Tn.-
PANY, traverse the • State delivering his Know-
Nothing Lecture at the instance or instigation
of the Faculty of Dickinson College? or does
he do it and thereby neglect his duties in the
Chair of Mathematics, by permission of the
Trustees of that time-honored Institution ?
The public have some interest in this matter
—inasmuch as one of two things'is certain :
either he neglects his duties in the College, or
else his services are of so little importance
:there that his presence is not required. It
was well remarked the other day by a gentle
man of our acquaintance in this City—"l pay
Professor Tiffany for teaching my son the
Mathematics, and not for traveling over the
State making political speeches."
We can tell the Baltimore Conference and
-the Trustees of Dickinson College, that if they
do not very shortly put a stop to this dema
gogue's lectures, or eject him from the Pulpit
and College, he will do lasting injury to the
Church and the venerable Institution ofLearn

TO PERSONS OUT OF EMPLOYMENT.—Sears'
Pictorial Works for 1855.—The attention of
the'reader is solicited to the advertisement of
Agents wanted for the series of Pictorial books
issued from the Press of Mr. Sears. These
books have met, and are meeting with a large
sale throughout the Union, and the three lat
est publications, "Russia Illustrated, "China
and India," and "Thrilling Incidents in the
Wars of the United States," are in every way
equal to the other works in point of attraction
and interest. What he wishes to obtain is,
competent Agents in every section of the coun
try. The readiness of their sale offers great
inducements for persons to embark in their
disposal, and as they are of a high moral and
unexceptionable character, there are none but
who can conscientiously contribute to their
circulation. Any person wishing to embark
in the enterprise, will risk little by sending to
the Publisher $25, for which he will receive
sample,copies of the various works, (at whole
sale prices) carefully boxed, insured, and di
rected, affording a very liberal per tentage to
the Agent for his trouble. With these he will
:soon be able to ascertain the most saleable,
:a_rid order accordingly.

Senatorial Election
TM; election for U. S. Senator comes off to
day in the Legislature. It will be seen from
the subjoined proceedings, that SIMON CAME
RON received the Know-Nothing caucus nomi
nation on the seventh ballot. We suppose, as
a matter of course, that he will be elected by
- the undergrouu4 tribe who appear to have ev
erything their own way at Harrisburg. One
thing is certain that if money (without talents)
can accomplish the object—aud what cannot
- be accomplished with a majority of the pres
ent Legislature ?—the Winnebago Chief will
- be the man, and nu doubt Middletown Bank
paper is unusually plenty just now at the seat
of government. The voting in caucus was
dune by ballot, and therefore the ayes and
noes are not given ; nor have we any means of
lciiowing who wero present at the caucus.—
There will be some political suicides commit
ted to-day, unless we are very much mistaken.
The people will scan closely the action of
-their representatives in this matter :
THE KNOW-NOTHING CAUCUS FOR U. S. SENATOR.
HAftrusßunG, Feb. 5-1.0 P. 3f.
The Know-Nothing caucus to nominate a candidate for
LT. S. Senator, met this evening, at 7 o'clock, and organized
by electing Thomas C. Steel, of Philadelphia, Chairman.—
, A motion being made to vote by ballot, a stormy debate
issued, and the motion finally prevailed. On the first bal
. lot there were 94 votes cast, making 47 necessary to a choice.
The vote stood--Cameron, 27; Curtin, 11; Johnson, 10;
cooper, 0; Veech, 0; 'Wilmot, 5; Tiffany, 4; Conrad, 4; Smy
ser, Clapp, Jayne and J. P. Jones. each 3; and Todd, Littel,
Evans, Darlington, Morehead, rtev,ms and Fuller, each 1.
A resol talon was then adopted not to dis,lose the further
ballots. A seethd ballot was then gone into. The cinuires
. are, however, that no nom:nation will be made
Harrisburg, Feb. 9-I.lldnight.—The second ballot in the
Senatorial mucus, resulted as follows:—Cameron 27; Cur
tin 12; Cooper. 14; and the, balance scattering.
I On the the third ballot, Cameron had 35 votes; Curtin,
17; Cooper, 9; and the balance scattering.
On the fourth, Cameron 38 votes; Curtin 22.
Several unsuccessful efforts were made to adjourn.
THIRD DESPATCH.
Harrisburg, Feb. 10-1 A. M.—The caucus has not yet
adjourned. The fifth ballot has just been taken, and its re•
suit has caused the greatest excitement both in and out
side the Convention. The vote stood--Cameron 46; for oth
• er candidates, 47 ; making one vote more than there were
members'in the caucus.
On the announcement of the result a number of members
withdrew, asserting that they were not to be bought.—
There is great excitement prevailing, and every prospect of
a war.
Another ballot has been ordered, and the Impression 11
that Cameron will be nominated.
P 4 o'clock, A. 55.—The sixth ballot stood: Cameron, 45;
Curtin, 46; scattering, 1. There being on this ballot one
fraudulent vote cast, another exciting-demonstration was
had, and novena members, who had been induced to return
to the Convention, again retired, declaring their determi
nation to disregard any selection that might be made.
Harrisburg, Feb. 10-2 A. L3l.—After some quite angry
discussion, a large number of members retiring, a seventh
ballot was ordered, which resulted as follows:—Cameron
4} votes, Curtin 11, Fuller 2.
Gen. Simon Cameron was then declared the nominee of
the Convention, and a resolution unanimously adopted de
claring him the nominee of the American party for the U.
8. Senate.
The Convention then - adjourned.
The result has caused great excitement, and there is
every prospect of difficulty in the joint convention on
Tuesday.

AN EXTRAORDINARY SENTIMENT FROM A
BISHOP OF THE EPISCOPAL CHURCH.—Bishop
POTTER, of the Episcopal Diocese of New York,
was in Canada, lately, attending a Church
Association in Montreal. While there he gave
utterance to the following pretty specimen of
British toryism. Vit give it as reported in
the Montreal Transcri:pt :
"It was something to set foot on the soil of
her Gracious Majesty, the Queen. [Cheers.}
God bless her! He had prayed for her on the
land and on the sea, and hoped to do so again.
She had his sympathy, his deep sympathy,in
the noble efforts she was making at the present
time to subdue a 'barbarous power, who had
attempted to crush a feeble nation and over
whelm Europe. Much had been said about
American feeling and American sentiment in
regard to the war; but he would tell his lord
ship that if the people of Canada wished to
understand the public sentiment of the coun
try, they must not search fur it in the news
papers. [Loud cheers] They must go to the
educated men, to the clergy of the Church, to
those who studied 4hakspeare, and Milton,
and Hooker, and they would find that they
were heart and soul with England in the strug
gle, and daily offered up their prayers for her
success. [Cheers]"
No comment is needed upon the above, fur
ther than to express a regret that any Ameri
can, and especially one holding so important
a ministerial office, should be guilty of such
pandering to foreign prejudices. Nothing can
be more untrue, or in worse taste, than the
Bishop's allusion to the "educated men of the
Church," and his disparagement of the credit
which is attached to newspapers as faithful
reflectors of public opinion. If the clergy are
employed in offering up prayers for the suc
cess of England in this contest, we think it is
. time they were in better business.
EFFEC,TS of FREE ERADE.—A correspondent
of the Boston Transcript, in answer to the as
sertion that "free trade produces nothing; it
makes nothing; it creates no wealth—not a par
ticle of it; it develops no resources"—propounds
the following pertinent inquiries:
"Will your correspondent have the goodness
to inform the writer what has given America
the finest mercantile marine in the world. 2 , --
what he calls the 'non-development of re
sources,' when every ship-yard in this country
has been the scene of unceasing activity since
the tariff of 1846?—when England's free trade
in navigation enables her merchants to buy our
ships as freely as our cotton, and build her fi
nest line of Australian packets in East Bos
ton,—when, at this moment, a large fleet of
American ships are under English charters fur
India and China? Surely, if the universal
demand for our mechanical labor and skill,
which is shared by the woodman of every for
est, from Maine to Mexico,"develops no resour
ces" what principle of political economy does
'profit and loss' promulgate?"
SOMETHING IN t EIT !—Fulton perfected the
steamboat; somebody gave the world the rail
road and locomotive engine; Morse actualized
the electric telegraph. We have now to an
nounce an invention more important in its re
sults, porhaps than either of thenr. Prof.
MACLAURIN, an old and well-known teacher of
penmanship in this city, has invented and
brought to perfection a system by which every
person, young or old, may in a few hours'
practice, learn to write a free, bold, beautiful
and rapid hand-writing—rapid beyond belief.
We have seen a writing-book of the largest
size commonly used in schools, written through
from beginning to end, in a perfectly uniform
and beautiful hand, like copper-plate engrav
ing, in two hours, by a little girl ten years old,
after a brief course of instruction. It is a
miracle of science and art.
The system is a method of training the
muscles, by a series of easy, progressive and
very rapid gymnastic exercises to form the
elements and combinations of writing. There
is a set of his instruction books, with directions
by the aid of which, any person may teach
himself, and be qualified to teach others; and
the cost of the whole system, for SELF -LN
STRUCTION, with pens and writing-books com
plete (sent by mail, post-paid), is only One
Dollar. We have examined the system and
its results; we have conversed with the In
ventor, and seen the Testamonials of the best
Teachers and most eminent Educationists of
this city, and have no question that this sys
tem will supersede every other, and make ra
pid and beautiful writers as plentiful as they
now are rare.—New York Leader.
We call the attention of our readers to the
advertisement of the above System, in our
columns, and to the fact that the Publisher is
the respectable, well-established and reliable
house of CHARLES B. NORTON.
FREE TRADE Et MONEY, OR NOIR SHAVING, 1/11 GREAT
CArsa or FRAUD, POVERTY .orD,Rurr.—This is the title of a
Pamphlet of 36 pages of closely printed reading matter—
written by Hon. John Whipple, of Rhode Island, and pub
lished by Daytow & Wentworth, Boston, at the following
rates, viz:
Single Copies. l'i/ z cents.
Per Hundred Copies, 00
Five Hundred Copies, ,00
The writer evidently understandable subject therougidy.
He advocates stringent Usury Laws as the best defence of
the People against Hard Times, and is down with a proper
degree of severity upon Brokers and Note Shavers. Hie
motto is, that "Money in a laborsaving Invention, author
ized and regulated by government, for the convenience of
the people; and he who thrives by buying and selling it
adds nothing to the wealth of the state, but interferes with
the industry of others."
This Pamphlet ought to be extensively circulated, Mar
much as it contains truths and arguments which the
great mass of the people should be made acquainted' with,
especially at this time when the attempt is being made in
certain quarters to have our usury laws repealed by the
Legislature.

Albright'n mft,j
"Q in the Corner," in last week's Examin
er, says that a late Ex-Treasurer of the S. E.
Ward Council of Know Nothings" had been
convicted of being
a defaulter to the amount of
twenty or thirty dollars. As I was for sev
ral mouths Treasurer of that Order, and at the
time of my expulsion from it, had a balance
of about $7 in my possesion, I am. no doubt
the person alluded to in the article. Annexed
is a statement of the amount of funds placed
in my hands, and the manner in which they
were disbursed. The grave charge of being a
defaulter, must be a sufficient excuse for thus
obtruding myself upon public notice.

Balance in accountant's hands, $ 5 00
A few words in explanation of the reasons
for nut accounting to the lodge fur the money
entrusted to my care, may not be altogether
out of place.
On the evening succeeding the last Guber
natorial election, I went into the Council, as
usual, about the time of its adjournment, to
receive the money taken up. The Secretary
informed me that no money had been collected
and no business had been done that evening.
About that time I began to "smell a pretty ex:
tensive rat," and on pressing the Secretary
for an explanation, he told me that I had been
expelled from that Council. On asking him
what the charges were, and by whom brought,
he replied that I was not entitled to know.
Meeting Walter G. Evans, President of the
Council, the same evening, I inquired of him
concerning the matter ; but'he, of course, knew,
.othing about it! A few days after, this oc
currence, I met John Wise. As he was in
'the habit of introducing himself in debate, in
the lodges, as a member of the Grand Council,
and was invested with plenary power, I 1
ex
pected consolation if not redress, from him.
1 But I was again doomed to disappointment.
Finding there was no hope of obtaining an
' investigation before the "Sons of the Sires
of "76," I determined not to render an ac
count of my stewardship to them until satis
faction was given ; and so odious did my name
become amongst the holy memberi ofthat'Coun
cil, that a resolution was adopted at the in.
stance of 11. E. Slaymaker Hardware dealer,
imposing a fine of one dollar upon any mem
ber who should mention my name in that body!
The cause of my expulsion was evidently
for voting the Whig ticket, last fall. I had
always exercised my own, judgment at the
ballot-box, and expect to do so ever hereafter.
Members of this Jesuitical association are not.
allowed to think for themselves. If any broth
er refuses to support the ndminee of the Order,
he is at once disgraced, expelled, and pub
lished in their Councils as a traitor. Men de
void of mind or principle, may be thus dic
tated to; but
"Men who their duties know,
But know their rights,
And knowing, dare mantain,"
Will not long be denied the right of "private
judo:neat." . .
No person ever having claimed the balance
•
in my possession, and not knowing any mem
ber of the "Star Spangled Banner" entitled
to receive it, the money will be appropriated
to some benevolent purpose. Unless some
mold appropriate disposuion be suggested
within a fortnight, a draft, or} me for five dol
lars, from the" Dorcas Society," will be 'duly
honored. Respectfully, &c„ ,

For the Intelligencer.
Mr. Editor :—The result of the last election
in the city has afforded cause of great gratula
tion to certain parties who claim to have all
the decency and all the virtue ; but to Demo
crats, who stand by the doctrines taught by a
Jackson and more recently by a Jefferson, the
result is not worthy their approval. While
they will shrink from no trial in which the
honor and glory of their country are
concerned, they think there is enough of
conservative influence in the principles of the
Democratic party to ensure, as it has done in
days gorie by, the prosperity and elevation of
the county and of the whole country !
We—that is the Democrats of the S. E.
Ward of Lancaster city--claim to have sus
tained the character and reputation of the
Democratic party, and, while all . the other
Wards shrunk from their duty, they, without
faltering, stood faithfully up in the advocacy
of Democratic truths.
They voted as Democrats should voto, and
had the caucus committees given them the
name of unquestioned, and unquestionable
Democrats to rally upon, they - Would have
brought in a majority ; and the other Wards
imitating their example - would have secured a
triumph for DeMocratic principles and Demo
cratic men. tekn - s.protit by experience,,and

Considerable surprise bus been
nomination of Simon Cameron by
American Caucus last night as the
for U. 6. 6eitatur. It was only accomplished slier to bitter
struggle, and niter a number of the caucus nad retired from
Its deliberations. There is only im hypothetis whicti
snch a nomination can be account d for and that is a free
use lit the notes of the 3liddiutowd batik. Cameron has no
brains, Dal,tu no honesty, he lots no principle hu• has in
turn belonged to and betrayed all tairtlos, is hue no capac
ity to represent the State in the exulted pcsititi to u inch
he aspires—but he has something More valuable than all
those to the venal and corrupt lattrundouis who have de
based thernoth es by becoming his Ithowerti—he has money.
The greatest charm which the net party possessed was Jot
avowal to break up and destroy the corruptions uf the old
parties and annihilate the power at the old party hacks--
yet if it had ransacked all the dark dens of political iutanay
that exist throughout the length and breadth of the land,
and with the keenest research that. li most ingenuity could
have instituted, for the must tricky, dishonest., despicable,
scheming, broken-down politiciaMthat ever disgraced the

The most prominent of our public amusements, at pres
ent is, “The Midsummer Nighttsiireato," at the Walnut St.
Theatre, which has drawn large houses for some live ur six
weeks. The scenery is by far the lomat beautiful over pro.

traction of the play. An entirely; now effect is produced
by the operation of a double action panorama, the front
one being pierced in imitation 4 foliage, and the moon
with its reflection Upon a brlllisheet of water being
perceptible through the interstices. The acting of the
piece is merely passable, the painter and machinists hav
ing done tlutir work much better/ than the actors perform
their parts.
