HOE CANAL COMMISSIONER:
ARNOLD PLIIIIIIM, of lrenango
The County . Convention
The County Convention will assemble at
Shober's Hotel to-morrow (Wednesday) at 11
o'clock. We have no doubt it will be a full
Convention, and we hope to see such a ticket
placed in nomination as will command the
respect of all parties. The Deinocracy have
plenty of good material in the county, and it
will be our own fault if the very best men are
not selected for the various offices.
Wonderful, the Swaps and Changes
The Abolition State Convention, at Pitts
burg, after organizing, appointed a Committee
to recommend a suitable person for Canal
Commissioner, which Committee unanimously
reported the name of PETER MARTIN, Esq., of
this county. This nomination came from the
Woolley-Head, Know-Nothing side, of the
house—the nomination having been made by
Theophilus Fenn and Dr. Gibbons, who rep
resented Lancaster county in that pie-bald
gathering. The other, or Silver-Grey, anti-
Know-Nothing wing, howeier, demurred to
MARTIN'S nomination, and carried their point
by substituting the name of PASSMORE WIL
LIAMSON-, the Abolition jail-bird, of Philadel
phia.
We infer from the above that PETER MAR
TIN 18 to be the Know-Nothing candidate for
Canal Commissioner—hence the effort made
by his Know-Nothing friends to give him the
Abolition nomination also, and fhus effect a
complete fusion between the two. Ws also
infer that he is not only a good Know-Noth
ing, (which has never been doubted,) but an
out and out Abolitionist to boot! Queer com
pany, truly, to find our quondam Democratic
friend in—but there is no , accounting for
tastes ! When a man once deserts the Demo
cratic party, even in a partial way, there is
no telling whdre he will stop. There is ap
parently no end to his downward career.

Ephrata Township
The following excellent resolutions were
passed at the Democratic Delegate Meeting,
in Ephrata township, on Friday last:
Resoleed, That the faction know as Know-
Nothings or Americans, while they hake cast
a stigma of shame upon our country by their.
bigotry, intolerant and proscriptive doctrines,
are to be condemned by every lover of relig
ious freedom as entirely at variance with the
spirit of our free institutions as contemplated
by our forefathers of the Revolution.
Resolved, That we, the Democrats of Ephra
ra Township, still continue to adhere to the
cardinal principles of the Democratic party as
they were handed down to us from Jefferson,
and that in defence of the great principle of
religious liberty, we will battle earnestly
against that miserable faction of demagogues
who pander to a low prejudice to rob the
members of one religious denomination of their
inalieniable rights, and thus take the first step
toward a unioh of church and State.
' Resolved, That no Democrat will hesitate to
subscribe his name to these resolutions and
guy one refusing to do so is no Democrat and
not entitled to a cite at this meeting.

The ii.note-Nothing Nominations
The Know Nothings held their delegate
elections, ttrou4hout the county, on Satur
day last, and the return judges met in this
city, on yesterday, for the purpose of adding
up the returns. At the time uur paper went
to press we had not learned the result, for
they were not yet through with their labors--
but it was pretty well ascertained that, fur
the Legislature, Messrs. JOHN A. IIIESTAND,
of this city, CHRISTIAN 1731111. E, of Salisbury,
and P. W. HOUSEKEEPER, of Drumore, were
three of the nominees.
We were no little amused at the
Movements of the Nichts Wissers, in
this City, on Saturday evening. Ma
ny of them appeared! to be ashamed
of the company they were in, and waitet un
til thrtkness brooded over the earth before
thereentured out, and then stealthily wended
their way through alleys, stable yards and
dark streets to the places of voting. Well
knowing that their deeds were evil, they were
afraid of the light of day--ashamed to let
their fellow-citizens know that they belonged
to the dark-lantern party..
Boyce, the Know-Nothing Abolition candi
date, has been re-elected Governor, and also
the whole State ticket. The same party have
carried a majority of the' State Legislature.

The President and Kansas..
The course of events in Kansas continua
to be a gat-send to the abolitionists. The law
establishing this territory, and the Nebraska
territory, contemplated free action by the ho..
na fide settleis of those two territories ; it is
based on the idea that the people settling them
might be trusted with the control of their
cal affairs, with as much safety as were those
of California or Arkansas, or of Massachu
setts ; and every movement designed to pre
vent such independent action by the settlers
is as contrary to and violative of the law un
der which they act, as it is to common sense
and republican government.. This will apply
as well to the forced action of abolitionists as
to the outrageous course of the Missourians;
Both have been against the spirit of the law.
And it cannot be denied that the Missouri
ans are proceeding from bad to worse ; that
the laws they are passing are as absurd and
ridiculous as their election proceedings were
illegal. Their act, for instance, makiug free
discussion a penal offence is simply ridiculous,
Do the men who passed it call themselves Jef
fersonian republicans ? Let them recur to the
great lessons of the sage of Monticello—his
own treatment of the slavery question—and
see how withering is his condemnation of their
proceedings. The very suggestion that Thonil
as Jefferson would approve of such laws as the
Kansas legislature have passed is a libel on
his memory.
But what do the abolitionists, and men even
who would disclaim the epithet, say as to a
remedy ? They denounce the course of non-
action of the President. They say he was
prompt to art- in the rendition of Anthony
Burns, but has not moved a finger to stay
back the inroad of the Missourians into Kan
sas, or to rebuke their legislation ; and then
they fall to and heap upon him denunciation
upon denunciation. Now let us see what
this clamor means : let us see exactly what'
these abolitionists demand: let us test their
political soundness.
And first, what these abolitionists demand,
what they virtunlly ask, is that the President
shall despatch a tnilitary force into Kansas to
control its local affairs; to act exactly as Lou-
is Napoleon would act as to a disloyal prefect
ure, or local council. If, under the French
centralization, a local board on the' outskirts
of France gets into trouble, it is the simplest
of operations to remedy it. The despot has
but to detatch a regiment; turn out the pre
fect and the council, and instal others. These
clamorers for executive intervention in the
case of Kansas are asking just this that the
President would send a file of troops to dis
solve the-legislature, just as Cromwell scatter
ed the rump parliament!
The searching question may be here asked,
what right has the President to make or med-
die with the local legislature of Kansas? He i§
made, by the constitution, the executor of the
laws of the land ; he is bound to govern him-
self by these laws; and the law establishing
Kansas expressly provides that its intent and
meaning is "to leave the people thereof per
fectly free to form and regulate their domestic
institutions in their own way, subject only to
le constitution of the United States." And
ag,am : " The constitution and all laws of the
United States, which ate not locally inapplica
ble, are to have the same force and effect in
liansas as elsewhere within the United States
Here, then, is the rule of action for the Pres
dent. The law actually prohibits him from
meddling with the proceedings of the Kansas
legislature. It is evident that the same oath
which obliges him to execute the law in the
case of the rendition of a fugitive, obliges him
to refrain from meddling with the internal af
fairs of the Kansas territory. The abolition
clamor, then, amounts to denunciation of the
President fur obeying the laws of the land !
Nothing could be more sensless than the
abolition clamor because of the President's
non-action as to the Kansas elections and the
action of the Kansas legislature. And the
whole outside interference with the local af
fairs Of Kansas is entirely uncalled for. It is
no new thing for intruders to interfere in the
incipient stages of our territorial governments.
Great Confusion,for years,existed in California,
before the regular action of government com
menced; hordes of intruders threatened the
peace of the country ; on the discovery of the
placers vessels were deserted by their crews;
foreigners of every description flocked into the
country : Indian horse thieves abounded ; and
there was no end to the confusion that existed,
up to the urge of civil war. President Tay
lo, in'his to congress, January 21,
1850, slates that the instructions given to the
government officers were, "that all measures
of domestic policy adopted by the people of
California must originate solely with thhm
selves ;" and that his ainuhad been to avoid
any interterence with the election of delegates.
The abolitionists, now, would sect bi want
the President to exercise a guardianship over
the people ; to station it military force in Kan
sas; and act the part of dictator to its legisla
ture ! When a case arises of resistance to the
laws of the United States, and the President
is called upon to act under the law of congress
of 1705, the past shows that he will be the fast
to shrink from the performance of duty.
The abolitionists are making the most out of
the state of things in Kansas; and the men
who have usurped the control of the territory
and inaugurated all but mob law, are playing
completely into their hands. But every other
people of every other state, in its incipient
stages, happily at length instituted its local
government. It was so With Illinois, Indiana,
Arkansas, California; and in due time the
people of Kansas will imitate their example.

A Know-Nothing Parson in Mississipp
At the present time, Rev. Mr. Clinton, a
Baptist clergyman, is attempting to evangel
ize Mississippi fur the benefit of the know
nothing order. if only a portion of the say
ings attributed to him be true, his congrega
tion would be largely the gainers in pure re
ligion and sound morality if he wholly forsook
the pulpit for the stump. A correspondent
of the Memphis Appeal thus alludes to a
speech recently delivered by thd-reverend gen
tleman at Holly Springs, Mississippi :
" Mr. Clinton commenced by abusing the
administration in the same manner as all dis
affected and disappointed democrats and of
fice seekers. He charged the Postmaster Gen
erat with sending out secret mail agents, with
secret keys, for the purpose of robbing the
mail bags—a charge so degrading and false,
that it should be spoken of only to brand it
with the infamy the author deserves by all
true American citizens."
The transparent falsehoods of this unscru
peons political parson will be properly an
swered and effectually rebuked at the ballot
box. Every speech he makes will only add
to the numbers in the democratic ranks. Let
him keep on.— Washington Union.
CORRECTION.-A slight mistake was made

it should have been John H. Brenner, of the

, What less wonderful than that ambitious
and self-seeking politicians should strive to
revive the dead corpse of Whiggery with a
soul, infernal, it is true—a dire, dreadful, sa-
tanFe spirit—but not the less likely from its
origin to disguise itself for a time iu the guise of
an angel of light. Its antics for the past year
are familiar to every reader. Its path has been
lighted by the lurid flames of arson ; has been
rendered slippery with the gore of hundreds of
unresisting, unoffending victims of its desper
ate madness. 'Through its Tile machinations,
the proud boast of our nation that it is the re
fuge of the persecuted and oppressed of every
clime, the home of civil and religious liberty
for the outcast of every sky, has been in a
measure, caricatured. Through it the tide
of emigration, which fur half a century had
been contributing so signally to swell the
volume of our national greatness and prosper-
ity, bids fair to be diverted to other channels,
and enrich other regions of the Dew 1% odd.
All this, however, belongs to the past. Some
future Bancroft or Prescott will render it the
subject of eloquent and indignant denuncia
tion, coupled with deep and unspeakable won
der that such deplorable and unaccountable
fatuity shouKever have taken possession of
any portion of a free and an enlightened peo
ple. In the meantime it will not do for our
Whig friends to gloss over tlu•ir sympathies
with, or active participation id the Know
Nothing movement. Do what they will, say
what they can, the foul leprous spot is upon
them, and it will stick to them. From the
beginning, the battle has :been between the
Know-Nothings and the great Democratic
party of the Union and to the latter belongs
the only and sole credit of stifling the mons
, ter in his cradle.
Latemt Forelvi Nei
The steamship Atlantic arrived at New
York, on Thursday, from Liverpool, bliaging
European news one week later. An addition
al force of fifty thousand French troops is to
be sent to the Crimea. In the White Sea the
squadron of the Allies had captured two Rus
sian ships, and was preparing to quit that sea.
In Aditolia a Russian division had driven the
Turks from Kenpri Kern,i and encamped three
laegues from Erzeroum. Russian agents had
been sent to the chief cities of Europe to raise
loans for the Russian Government. At Swea
borg the loss of life was quite small, but ac
cording to the account of the Russian admiral,
the Allies did no damage whatever to the for
tifications, batteries or guns. Two English
steamers bombarded Riga on the 10th, but
apparently without effect. Gortschakoff com
manded the Russian troops at the battle of
Tchernaya, consisting of six thousand cavalry
and twenty batteries of artillery. The whole
number of Russians buried was 3320, and
three of their Generals were killed. On the
10th the artillery of the Allies opened a fire
upon Sebastopol, but the bombardment had
not commenced. Gortschakoff's latest des
patch, dated the 21st, says that the fire of the
Allies sensibly diminishes and does but little
damage. The English have blown up four
sunken Russian • steamers_,in Berdiansk Bay,
and burned the suburbs of the town. One
British gunboat went ashore during the attack,
and vas taken by the Russians, together
with a complete code of the Allies signals.

RE 1T 1 t m.o.—Our good Democratic friend,
WILLIAM Winn! AN, informed us .a few days
since that from rather less than an acre and a
half of Rye, on his Ligalaw Farm," within
One mile of Churchtown, in this county, the
yield was as Mows, viz:
84 dozens; which, when thrashCti, measured
66 bushels of excellent Rye, and tied 29.7 .
bundles of tine long straw
We think this will be hard to beat any
where. We know that Ccernarvon township
is prolific of honest Democrats, but we were
not aware that, in the matter of raising tall
rye, it could also go ahead of "all creation
and the rest of mankind." Mr. W. knows
how to farm well—and no mistake.

THE DESERTED WIFE. By Mrs. E. D. N.
Suuthworth, Author of the "Missing Bride," the
•Lost Heiress," the "Wile's ictury," etc.
The above is the title of a new work, to be pub
lished by T. B. Peterson, 102 Chestnut St. Phila
delphia, on Saturday the 22d inst. The book in
Cue volume will contain 000 pages, neatly bound
in cloth, and be furnished at St 25; or in two vol
umes, paper cover, at $l. Soyeral of the proof sheets
are now bolero us.
The scene is laid in one of the Southern States, and
the story gives u picture of the manners and customs
of the Plauth.g Hentry, in an age not fur removed
backward nom the piesent. The characters appea ,
to be drawn with a strong hand, and the nook
abounds with suoucs of intense interest. The pur
pose of the author, professedly, is to teach the lesson
•that the fundamental causes of unhappiness in a
married lita, are a defective moral and physical
education, and a premature contraction of the ma
trimonial engagenieut."
The book will doubtless have a great run. Copies
will be sent by mail free of postage, to any person
remitting the price of the editioh they may wish, to
the publisher.

Life, and the Confessions of a Sister of Charity
This is the title of an elegant 12 mo. of :344 pages,
from the press of De %Vitt & Davenport, New York.
A Miss Bunkley, recently escaped from the Nunnery
at.Emmitsburg, wrote an account, of the alleged mys
teries, &c., of the place, which she contracted with
Messrs. D. & D. to publish, and from some as yet
unexplained motive, suddenly changed her mind and
enjoined the 'above House against the sale of bet
book, after it was ready for publication. People
will have their own conjectures as to the cause of
this singular course of conduct on the part of the
ex-nun. But ip spite of injunctions these publishers
have presented oue of the most readable and exciting
books of the day, and it is believed to be, to all in
tents and purposes, the book which they first an
nounced by Miss B. under a slightly different title.
A VALUABLE AND USEFUL BOOK.—We
have examined a new work entiled a "Comprehen
sive History &Geography Ancient and Modern of the
whole World" by S. G. Goodrich our late American
Consul at Paris. The work contains 272 quarto pag
es illustrated with 200 beautiful engravings and SO
maps, it gives valuable statistics of the different
countries up to the present time not elsewhere to be
found. To him who wishes to have an authentic book
of reforenee; to a parent who would desire to buy a
a good book for a son or daughter or to the student
that wishes a "chart of life and mirror of the
times" we would say get the book. The whole
matter is arranged in a convenient and systematic
form for easy reference, and is the most complete
and comprehensive work for the use of families
merchants and others that has ever been published.
The Agent for this county is -now here, and our
citizens will be offered an opportunity to obtain
the book and as it can only be obtained by
the agent for each county any other opportunity
will not offer.
The New York Daily Times thus speaks of the
book :
We know, indeed, of no other work of the kind,
and now that we see its utility, it strikes us as re
markable that such a book has never been prepared
before. • The advantage of possessing a book of geo
graphy in which the history of each country is giv
en, is too obvious to need illustration. The work
is well executed in all respects, and is marvellously
cheap, considering its contents.

The Pestilence
YELLOW FEVER - IN NORFOLK AND PORTS
MOUTH.—A. fellow has beeh directed in Bal
timore, who under the guise of collecting
funds for the relief-of the sufferers by yellow
fever, had raised considerable money in that
city. He passed himself off as 'Dr. Nevin."
A letter to the Baltimore American states that
the deaths in Norfolk on Sunday week num
bered over sixty, and on Saturday, forty.
New cases were' multiplying with frightful
rapidity, and the supply of coffins had run
short. There was also a difficulty in getting
graves dug. Among the deaths reported
were the President of the Common Council,
the teller of the Virginia Bank, the chief
book-keeper of the Exchange Batik, and W.
11. Garrett, it devoted and efficient member
of the Association. The correspondent of the
Baltimore American, front whose letter we
quote the above facts, says :
"There has nut been a bale of hay here for
several days; and the Doctor's horses have
nearly given out. Send us some oats and
hay fur the horses, and a blacksmith or two
to shoe them, as there is nothing of the sort
to be had here. When a vehicle losesa linch
pin it become useless, as there is no one here
to replace it.
"There is now believed to be 1000 cases
in this city, hut the disease has somewhat
abated in Portsmouth, probability fur want
9f material to act upon. There are said to
be nut more.than 500 cases itt Portsmouth,
and the deaths there are not so numerous.
Mayor Fisk is still dangerously ill."
"Dr. Rizer, of Philadelphia, wa.S taken with
fever yesterday, and is being most faithfully
nursed by Dr. Webster. Dr. Ricer is quite
ill, and made his will this monang, antici
pating speedy death, though his friends hat e
hopes that he may recover.
"A peculiar kind of fly, never seen in this
vicinity before, has made its appearance since
Saturday, bath here and at Portsmouth, and
vitas destru3ed nearly all the fruit. Among
the other trials that we are called up,ut to
suffer arc clouds of most voracious mosquitoes,
which swarm around you both in and out of
doors, mod sting you alm.,st with the smart
of a bee."
It will be perceived that the number of
cases of fever now in the city is stated at
1000. A letter to the Richmond Despatch
says that the Rev. Mr. Armstrong, who has
been constantly among the sick in all parts
of the city sets down the number at from
1000 to 1:00, and the writer believes the
statement to be correct. The large increase
creases and deaths is attributed to the recent
change in the weather, from a clear at
mosphere to a damp and disagreeable one.
One of the letters in the Richmond Dispatch
says :
" Mr. Z. ~Sykes, the assistant Inspector of
streets, gives us a gloomy picture of the mel
ancholy scenes he is doomed to witness in his
daily rounds. The other day he had occasion
he infoins• us to inspect a"„lot on Charlotte
street. Ile found in the yard three curly
headed little children romping about, rolling
on the ground, with unkept hair, and dirty,
tattered garments. Ile inquired fir the.r
father—•Pa—Pa is dead.' 'Then, where is
your mother P"Ma—Ma hi dead too!' Yes,'
uhied the youngest, and a big ugly black mall
came and carried them away directly they
were dead !"Good God !' continued Mr Sykes,
shocked at the scene—'and who have you to
take care of you ?"Nohody sir :Who gives
you anything to eat?' Mary the colored wo
man next door, gives us some bread every
day.' Never, said Mr. Sykes, have my feel
ins been so pained—the forlorn condition
if the little orphans—their tender years, and
childish insensibility of their great loss, made
me sick at heart, and 1 could not restrain my
tears! We need nut add that the bereaved
innocents were taken in charge by the How
and Association, and will be duly provided
tor."
The Herald inlormi us that in eunsequenee
of experience having demonstrated the bin
great liability of northern physicians to con
tract the fever, it is strongly recommended by
the health and other authorities of the city
that their:services shall for the present be
lispensed with, and thoee only employed who
are accustomed to a Southern climate, and
to y=ellow fever practice. This, we ,suppose,
will receive attention in Philadelphia and oth
er northern cities. At portsmouth, the fever
is increasing. from suffset on Saturday,
week to sun-set on Sunday, there were
were tour hundred new cases in that city, and
the expenditure fir the relief of the suffering
averages SSW) daily. An appeal to the coun
ties of Virginia for aid is contemplated. The
collections in Philadelphia haAt now reached
an aggregate of sixteen thousand and ninety
eight dollars. The nearest approach to this
is the amount raised in Raltiun re, which ex
ceeds eleven thousand dollars. he Richmond
Dispatch estimates the total number of deaths
by fever since the commencement at about six
hundred. Dr. Smith, of Columbia, Pa., who
arrived on Thursday week, and the nurse who
accompanied him [Mr. Craven] is in the hos
pital sick with the fever.
Tit F. EPIDEMIC Sou T11.—.111 reSpUll:se to the
Nordidk Commiitee, the President, after con
sultation with his cabinet, has caused artpr
ler to he issued to the commandant of the
Gosport Navy Yard giving hint discretion to
close the yard and advance a month's pay to
all the emplo)es who may wish to leave. An
order has also been issued to the com
mandants of other yards to employ such

dent decided that he could not grant the re
quest to give up Fort Moor.° as a refuge for
tile Citizens of Norfolk and Puatsmouth, on
account of the time required to remove the
troops and other residents from the post and
on account of there being no suitable place
for their reception. The Cabinet, by the
President. paid the committee three bundled
and twenty-live dollars, as a contribution far
the relief of the sufferers. Mayor Fish of
Portsmouth, is reported dead. Rev. P. Wil
lis, Methodist minister, of Norfolk, is reported
dead. Commodore Page has the fever. The
scarcity of Coffins was so great that bodies
were buriedwithout them. Richard Gatewood.
correspondent of the associated press, and
junior editor of the Beacon, is hopelessly ill.
A large supply of provisions and other neces
saries has heist sent down by the Baltimore
Relief Committee Committee.
K. N. BLASHIEMY.---The Frederick Citizen
says that a Mr. Steele, of Virginia, the great
orator of a li.. N. demonstration made in that
. place recently, in speaking of those members
of the order who become ashamed of their as;
sociation. and left the dark lanternites in time
to vote for HENRY A. WISE for Goveanor, de
nounced them in the iblll,wing blasphemous
terms:
"'They are a doubly damned, deeply dyed,
hell begotten, Uod-forsaken, hydra headed,
triple tongued, cloven footed, set of perjured
traitors, whom if the earth Were the fulcrum,
and the heavens the lever, almighty power
could not in a thousand years raise to the com
mon level of culprits."
And these are the kind of men who head a
party who desire to take Religion into its es
pecial keeping !!

PLEDGE was offered by J. S. itoath, read,
and unanimously adopted, viz:
"We solemnly and sincerely pledge our

A motion was made that every man in the
house, previous to voting for delegates, sign
this Pledge, which was complied with by eve•

and declare their principles in daylight—

erdict this morning. The Jury
the immediate cause of the run
ic cars was the rear car of the
racking, coming in contact with
ics driven by Dr. llcneken, said
attached to a carriage ; that
due diligence used by the driver
of said card
~re ; that the engineer of the
backing trei I did not observe the rules of the
eurripany am the laws of New Jersey in referl
enA to blow ng the whistle when approaching
el-this-roads ; that the conductor is exhonerated
froth blame, nasmuch as he was acting in ac
c.,rdance wi 1 his instructions in the time ta
ble
p . said r )ad ; that the forward brakeman
is censurabi ; that one of the immediate causes
es df the co lusion was the carelessness and
reeklEssness of Dr. Ileneken in driving his
horl;es on th 'railroad track ; that another im-
I
mediate cau e of the collision was, the careless
amt reckless manner in which the train of
cars was pr eceding backwards, at a rate of
speed unser and inexpedient; that by run
nu) , regulat ons issued by the company, the
11
po ibilitycollision between opposing trains
on single rack is so great as to prove that
sour more eicient mode ought to be adopted
to &event a recurrence of the cause which
hest called tl is together, and the jury hereby
sugest, the the life, limbs and safety of pas
seners is o moil) importance than saving a
fewirnintrtes of time.
