aittriligettctr&laurval - I GEO. SANDE*I IOI4 , EDITOR: LANCASTER, AUGUST 21, 1855. FOR CANAL COMMISSIONER: ARNOLD PLIIDIER, of Vowing°. The Delegate Elections. will be seen, by the proceedings of the Deniocratic County Committee published above, that Friday the 7th of September is the time fixed upon for the delegate elections, and Wednesday the 12th for the assembling of the County Convention. In view of the great importance Which must necessarily, at the present time, attach to the proCeedings of the Convention, may we not hope that our Democrathsriends will exercise even more than their timid care in the selec ticc of delegates, so that their wishes may be fully and fairly carried out. — The candidates to be selected for the ticket should be men of the most undoubted character for honesty, integrity and general intelligence. We have plenty of good men in the County—men who would do honor to the party, and be a credit to the county should they be elected—and it will be the fault of the Convention if such are not' chosen. But the first step in order to bring about so desirable a result, rests with the people who lielect the agents to form a ticket. Let the masses attend the primary meetings and select good men to represent PittEtt -in the County Convention, and, our word for it, such a ticket will be presented to the people of Lancaster County as cannot fail .to win their respect and support. 1 1 763 shall have more to say on this subject hereafter. Birds of a Feather AEA" The Whig Convention of Allegheny County met in Pittsburg, on Tuesday last, and resolved to make no nominations, as such action would be controlled by the Know-No things. It was also resolved that the Whigs Would now co-operate with the "Republican" (alias Abolition and Know-Nothing) movement. ' "Coming events- cast their shadows be fore." The abandonment of their organization by the Whigs of Allegheny, Mercer, Wash ington, Chester, Lebanon and other counties, and the affiliation of the leaders with Know- Nothingism and Abolitionism, are rapidly bringing about what was long since pre dicted—a union of all the isms of the day against the Democratic party. What will those honest Demo::rat,s, who may have been seduced into the Know-Nothing movement, think of the company they will shortly find themselves in ? York County Nominations The Democratic Convention of York county, which met on Tuesday last, and over which that veteran and staunch Democrat, Col. JOHN RANKIN, presided, nominated the following excellent ticket: Senate—William H. Welsh. Assembly—Col. James Ramsey, Isaac Beck jand Samuel Maneer. Mr. WELSH'S nomination, we learn, was unanimous—a high compliment truly to a lyoung, enterprising and talented Democrat.— NVe predict fur him a brilliant future. We apprehend that &MON CAMERON Will have a slim chance with these gentlemen, should they be elected; of which latter eir• cumstance there can be little doubt.. Schuylkill An Right The Democratic Convention of Schuylkill county met at Scuylkill Haven, on the lath inst., and nominated for the State Senate that well-tried and faithful old veteran, Cu!. C. M. STRAUB; and for the Assembly, Messrs. S. R. Dicksos and d. G. FRICK, both " good men and true," and free from the taint of Camoro nianism, linow-Nothingism, Abolitionism, any of the other isms of the day. This. is one of the best tickets ever placod before the people of Schuylkill county, :Lod of its triumphant election we have not a doubt. The Convention appointed C. S. 'Foster, Et ward Kearns and J. Hendler, Delegates to tl next State Convention. The Saving. In.titution Fvom the report of the meeting, published in another column, it will be seen that the Trustees were unanimously instructed obtain a re-conveyance of the assignment from the Assignees, and requested to open the - In- • stitution and resume operations without delay. From a statement made to the meeting by r Mr. Lightner, it appears that about fifteen hundred of the Depositors, representing .$479,000, had signed the agreement proposed by the Trustees, and .some two hundred and twenty representing about $65,000, have ne gleeted or refused to do so. The unanimous wish, however,, of all presbnt was that the In stitution should resume business, and accord ingly aresumption will take place inn few days. A meeting will be held on Thursday next by the Trustees, for the election of a Treasurer of the Institution, and every thing, we have no doubt, will shortly move along again as it (lid before the suspension.

Just What Might Be Expected The City Council of Louisville (nearly all Know Nothings) have passed resolutions de claring that the foreign population profoked the recent riots by deeds of violence. Thpy have also rejected a resolution to pay for the property destroyed. The owners of the houses burned must, therefore, lose them, unless they can recover damages by suits at law. This action of the majority has caused the resigna tion of the few anti-Know-Nothiu,g members, and elections have been ordered to fill the Ma= Of course it was not reasonable to suppose that the Know-Nothing leaders, after having instigated the mob and thereby caused the death of some-twenty unoflending citizens and the destruction of a vast amount of property, would now be so magnanimous as to make what restitution was in their power. This would have been "hoping to no purpose.", Much more might have been expected from a set of highway robbers, many of whom have some sense ufhom,u. left, than from thine mid night assassins and scoundrels who have in flicted such a signal disgrace upon the city of Louisville.

It is full and ingenuous in its declare much disregarded, that in-many counties peo ple expect a candidate to "come out" before tions, and worthy of so noble a Democrat as his nomination. It is all wrong, and it is the our nominee for Canal Commissioner: cause of our having so many unfit representa tives—men who profess much when courting nomination and election, but practice little af terwards—little, we mean, creditable, though much which is disgraceful. The people should, recollect that legislation is business. In selecting men to do your leg islation be governed by ordinary business rules.—You do not take a bragging, forward fellow, merely because he offers himself, to do any ordinary matter of business ; why take him for legislation? Important business cer tainly, for the laws which he makes, control and effect, for good or for ill, all your other business. Take some noisy demagogue, be cause he offers himself—and you have nobody to blame but yourselves if you are cheated and betrayed ; and, bought and sold, you take out your satisfaction in grumbling.—But how much better it would be to prevent pernicious laws and disgraceful measures, in selecting trustworthy attornies-in-fact to do your legis lative business. 'We call representatives at tornies-in-fact, because they are such—appoint .ed on the election ground. Let us have a radical reform on this point. —Let the Democracy of the townships make it a duty to attend the delegate meetings; let them select delegates whom they have tried in the ordinry business of life and fopnd trust worthy ; let them seek only representatives who do not intrigue for office, but who will accept if asked, and who are honest and com petent ; let them insist on having such and no others nominated. Onthis basis we shall have the next legislature not only demo cratic in a party sense, but honest and high minded ; creditable to the party and to the commonwealth. Shall we nut have this "c mu summation, devoutly to be wished ?" We trust and hope.

A great conspiracy had been discovered and the arrests of suspected persons numbered sixty daily. Several priests in one of the convents were among the number. Zapathut. el Grande is said to have fallen into the hands of the insurgents, and the garrisiin, four hundred strong, deserted and joined Al varez. Guanajuato is said to have been taken by the rebels. General Blanco had gone out to tight the rebel forces under Common fort, and intelligence of a battle was daily expected. The rebels are said to have captured a con dueta with $1,500,000, and forty of the troops; escorting it were killed, and three hundred. joined the rebels.

A Righteous Compliment We clip the fldlowing extract from a lengthy . article in the Philadelphia sun, (the Nativist organ) on the subject of the pestilence at Portsmouth, Va. After describing the terri ble details of the fearful epidemic, the editoi prt ceeds : We would be false to the spirit of charity if we did nut record conduct of one class who reghrd less their lives than what they consid er the performance of their sacred mission.-- Father DEVLIN, the Roman Catholic priast and the Sisters of Charity, have steadily refu sed to leave the town, and have devoted them selves day and night to the relief of the sick and suffering. They aro to be constantly found in the very worst localities, alleging that their first duties are o those, whom no one else will approach. The effect of their self-sacrificing and unremitting labors has been to create a strong revulsion of feeling in the surrounding neighborhood, and, as our informant expressed himself, •• the must rabid Know Nothing would be first to resent a word uttered against Father DEvi.iN or his female companions." It is not well for any one to question the motive that impels them to this work of mercy : it is enough to know that they do, while others who claim to be Christians only look on from a safe distance.

Union says it is held li I contemplation to issue, in a few days, a pr clamation fur the sale of public lands in ii 1 the Land Offices in the Territory of MinneS ta, principally situated west of the Mssissip i River, extending from the boundary of low to the Minnesota (late St. Peter's) River, an embracing a large body . of new lands, acqui - ed . by recent treaties with the Indians; ale , the reservation of Fort Snelling and the l',l s of St. Anthony, heretothre advertised, but nct offered fur sale. From recent letters receiNel at the General Land Office, it is ascertained that this region is rapidly settled by e.. - krauts from the States, who are anxious to . - quire titles to their new homes. The qui,- From the Louisville Courier Aug. 9. Who Is Responsible! Ve fully agree with the Journal that there is a terrible . responsibility, somewhere, and t. tno language is too strung for its condetu n a t tion, . And, - the Ji;urnal knows full well %v. ere this responsibility belongs. To its in diary arts es continued day a/kr .day be ' e the eleciton, and itt.riolent appeals on the ' 'ratty of the election, articles and appeals e lculated to bring into active exercise all the b d pass ions of the human heart—more than t any other came, is the deplorable outbreak o Monday to tie attributed. But this was only one of the many causes a , work. Every aetiou of the Know-Nothing C tuneila tended to prtiu,e the damnable our- They prevented the Common Council from pointing additional voting places or giving ditionalpollMioks. They determined that the 'll vote should Fiat be polled. They c.impelled eir J udge to appoint as officers of election inow No - things almost exclusively, in order at they might more successfully carry out eir nefarious designs. They then took pos- ission of the polls, and while keeping those I posed to them waiting in the streets for ors fur an opportunity to vote, while their u members were being passed in through .ck and side doors. Not satisfied with Ireigners were beaten and driven from the Hs and intimidated, and the fact that iu c First Ward, only 111 votes were given of 1,000 ; in the Second Ward, only 62 •t of 000, demonstrates conclusively that t only foreigners but native born citizens .posed to Inow-Nothingism were prevented .m exercising the;right of suffrage. At an rly hour in the morning, Col.' Preston saw .w things were going, and not wishing his lends to be sacrificed left the polls and ad sed them to do the same. No effort what- e or was made to get up the Anti-Know '/ °thing vote, and it was agreed to let the e ection go by default rather than provoke a 1 l ] ifficulty, which the actions of the Know ~ °things showed was' inevitable if any at t mpt was made to permit citizens to exercise It eir sacred rights of suffrage. ' But the fiendish mobocrats were determined 1 it to be disappointed. They panted fur Ilood and were determined to have it. As le foreigners did not come to the pulls to be hipped and abused, they in gan a of tens d twenties, soon after dinner, sought them t their homes, and on their own hearths, nd in the midst of their terrified wives and ,Itildren, brutally. outraged them. Flying mors were circulated through the city that to Germane, had with guns and muskets, tken possession of the First Ward polls, and :on thousands of men and boys were run ing to that portion of the city.

I.ble Irishmen, while they were quietly walk ng through the sueoto. They were knocked own aril brutally beaten, and after succeed 'rig in getting into their houses or hut-es of their friends, they well still pursued and ,:red at. Every man's house is his castle, nd tbrced . as toey were to the wall, they de ended themselves as they best could. Mr. hodes was then killed, probably by a rati on) shot. This was the offence committed by the Irish, and fur which numbers of innocent ien and children were murdered, and the women turned out of their homes. For de fending their property against malicious and unprovoked violence, the Irish were hunted like beasts of prey and were shut down as re morselessly as though they had been vermin. urs after the flesh bud Mica burned from their bones amid the smouldering ruins of their homes, the reckless youths who had been the actors in thes things, spoke of their deeds in tones of levity that were shocking. They said they did not know how many they killed, but:they had popped down every Irishman they saw. One of the worst features of the riots of Monday was in the youthfulness of the gen erality of the persons engaged i : them. Multitudes of half grown boys, rendered per fectly develish with ungoroned passions and whisky, jilledthe streets with yells «ndriolenc , !. They were tinned With clubs, pistols or shot guns v and in almost every instance these pre cocious sprigs of wickedness conn»euced the work of violence. And men calling themselves Christians, professing to belong w a system of moral,: which ordains that its members shall avoid even the appearance of evil, yea :it least one who says he has been .called to preach the Gospel, were seen busily engaged in urging on the young and thoughtless to deeds of violence and murder. ,We ibrbear to give the names now, but we shall do so hereafter. They have courted notoriety, and they shall have enough and to spare. One elder of a church addressed a mob that was threatening violence, and what does the reader suppose this officer of a church used in the way of argument? The only reason he urged was that "the office of ONE or us" is next door to the house you are going to attack, and you might injure a brotherKnow-No EVCLI women, members of churches, under the fell influence of Know-Nothingism, shriek ed oit during Monday's riots, the very senti ments of demons. They said they wished every German, every Irislinum, and all their descendants were killed, and every Catholic were cut up into mincemeat. From the Louisville Democrat, Aug. Another Opinion. All the stories about large quantities or powder and arms being discovered in the.pus session of the foreigners are unmitigated jille h,,uds, circulated fur a purpose. We have made diligent inquiries, and are satisfied tit, SO far from making preparations to attack tin Americans, the foreigners had not even made I.reparations.to properly defend themselves in :ase of attack. If they had determined on the course imputed to them, is it at all likely that with the advantages of being entrenched in their own houses, they would nut have killed more than four or five of their assailants. Had the Irish on Main-street, below Tenth, organized and made preparations as charged, would not they•have killed their assailants by scores before permitting themselves, to be slaughtered ? The poor creatures, when, as they thought, driven to the last extremity, , did make some effort to defend themselves, • but the small mortality their balls occasioned showed their weapons were not used as they would have ueen by an attacking party. In the upper part of the city the Germans who fired guns used only shot. If they had been determined to murder• Americans, would 'not their guns have been loaded with balls, and would they nut have acted at least with some degree ut concert ? Heaven knows that we would be the lug forever to defend foreigners guilty of attacking Americans, but when we know that the victims of the mob are guiltless of the crime imputed to them, it is but an act of justice that the memories of the unfortunate, humbled though they were, should be vindi cated. We repeat that the foreigners were so frightened at the demonstrations made against. them su early in the morning that they did not even attempt to•go to the• pulls. This is conu§ively demonstrated in the fact that in the First, Second and Eighth Wards; out of more than 2,220 votes the Anti- Know Noth ings had, they only polled 391 ! The ruffians, who were bent on having a few knock-downs, finding the Germans did not come to the polls, went to their houses and brutally beat them; and for this statement we have the authority of respectable Americans who were eye-wit nesses of the occurrences.

SAVINGS INSTITUTION MEETING.—PLIFSUItIII to notice, a final meeting of the Stockholders and Depositors ()I' the Lancaster Savings Insti tution was held on Friday, at Fulton The meeting was organized by appointing Capt. co.G Sanderson President, Michael Me ,irann, Esq., and Cul. John Irwin, or Ilarri, Ng, Vice Presidents, and E. C. Darlington and Charles M. Howell, Secretaries. Newton Lightner, Esq., one of the Trustees, reported that about 1501.1-depusitor, represent nig about 479,000 dollars, (including those whore deposits were made since the 4th of May, amounting to $60,090,:i nd in whose favor judgments have been given) had signed the proposition of comprtimise ; while 2.20 deposit ors, representing $115,000, have nut signed. After some explanatory remarks by the Chair, J. B. Amwake, Esq., offered the, fol lowing resolutions, which were unanimously adopted : Weaneas, We, the stockholders and depositors hero assembled in pursuance of public notice, are firmly impressed with the belief that the interests of the debtors and creditors of the Lancaster Savings Institution, and the public generally would be best promoted by the Institution resuming operations im mediately, under the condition of affairs as now re ported : therefore, Resolved, That the Assignees be and they are here by requested to re-convey the property of the Institu tion to the Trustees, for the purpose of resuming busi ness ; and that upon euchre-conveyance, the Trustees shall procded at once to the resumption of business, in accordance with the terms of the charter, so that the stockholders, depositors and the public may be mutually benefited. Resolved, That the praise-worthy exertions of the Trustees, to bring about a resumption of business merits the warmest thanks of the depositors and the public. . Resolved, That this meeting earnestly, but re spectfully ask those depositors who, up to this time, have neglected or refused to sign the agreement pro posed by the Trustees, to forego their opposition and consent to be placed on the same footing with the great majority of the depositors who have by so promptly acceding to the terms, prevented the Insti tution from going into bankruptcy. Nor do we think this is asking anything out of place. It is merely soliciting the applicatiou of the golden rule, which teaches us to do unto others as we would wish to be done by, under similar circumstances. 4 Resolved, That a committee of seven persons be appointed to report to this meeting the names of sev en suitable persons, provided for by the resolution of July lust, to aid the Trustees in the seleotion or a Treasurer and in the management of the affairs of the Institution. A committee consisting of Gen. Da id Mil 'erk David Cockley, John W. Roeting, Jacob Seitz, (Manor,) Dr. Henry Carpenter, Dr. J. C. Weidler, and James Collins, (Colerain) was appointed by the chair, in pursuance of the 4th resolution. During the absence of the Committee the meeting was addressed by Judge Hays. He severely censured the cuuduct of those depos itors who through preverseness refused to ac cept the terms of compromise offered by the Trustees. They were wickedly attempting to injure the community as well as the great bo dy of the depositors, and especially the debtors of the Institution. If the Institution lye forced into liquidation, ten years would elap, before the final settlement of its affairs ; and then, judging from all we have seen in regard to the winding up of similar institutions, the depositers would not receive more than 50 per cent of their claims. It was madness to sup pose they could get more than was assured to hem in the proposition of the Trustees. The ,:ounty is growing in wealth, an Institution of -he kind is needed, and there is nu reason why his °fleshed not again prosper. In three months Bruhn the day the doors shall - be opened, confi dence will be restored ;, for it will be better managed and safer than before—in the same way that travelling was safe immediately af ter a railroad accident,—the remembrance of the danger inducing more care and circum spection. The committee to nominate seven depositors to assist the Board of Trustees, reported the names of John Irviin, Harrisburg, Philip Oldweiler, Conoy township, Thos. C. Collins, Coleraiu, Wm. Konigmacher, Ephrata, David Brubaker,Mount Joy, Christian Habecker, Manor, Jacob Fehl, Conestoga. The repint was accepted, and the above named: gentle Men were announced as duly constituted Directors., to act in conjunction with the TruEtees in the election of a Treasu rer and the management of the affairs of the Institution, with the understanding that they continue to act till the first of July, 1858, and that they have power to fill any vacancies that may occur in their number. A vote of thanks was tendered to the As siguees .. for the courteous and obliging dispo• sition they had manifested. The meeting then adjourned.—lnland Daily. THEIR FATE.—The renegade Democrats who were Know-Nothing candidates. at the recent elections in the South were beaten. The sue cessful Know-Nothings were Whigs. This proves the Whiggery of Know-Nothingism. The Democrats who join the dark lantern par ty do very well as "heWers of wood and draw ers of water,". but when they aspire to rise, their wings are rather uncermoniouely clipped. What did the renegade Democrats in the ranks of Pennsylvania Know-Nothingism get for their apostacy last fall P They got a Whig Governor, a Whig Secretlary of State, a Whig Attorney General, a Whig Superintendent. of Public Printing, a Whig Chief Clerk in the State Department, and, in fact, Whigs in al most every office worth holding.
