Itel..We hope our citizens, irrespective of
party, will attend at Fulton Hall, on Monday
evening next, for the purpose of hearing Col.
FORNEY'S Address. From the well knotin
talents of the Col., of which it is unnecessary
to say a word, in this his native city; a rich
intellectual and patriotic treat may be expect..
ed. We hope to see the Hall crowded on the
occasion.
The County Ticket
The proceedings of the Democratic County
Convention which met in this City 'on Wed
nesday last, are published in another column.
We are pleased to announce that perfect har
mony governed the action of the Convent!on,
and its nominations are now before the people.
The resolutions speak for themselve's.—There
is no dodging—no evasion of any kind on any
subject. The glorious principles of our party
are fearlessly enunciated, and there can be no
mistake as to where the Democratic party of
Lancaster county stands. The same princi•
pies that were laid down by JEFFERSON' and
JACKSON are still the land marks of the party
—and with them as' our guide we nail our
flag to the mast-head, and are prepared to
"sink or swim, survive or perish" in their ad
vocacy.
Of the candidates placed upon the ticket,
from Assembly down to Auditor, (except one
in the editorial line,of whom it does nut be
come as to speak) we can say, with truth, and
we think public opinion will bear us out in
the assertion, that they are gentlemen of intel
ligence, experience, and strict integrity of
character, andhave always—in sunshine and in
storm—consistently adhered to the principles
of the Democratic party. We have every
reason to believe that their nomination is cor
dially endorsed by the Democracy of the
county at large, and feel confident that the
ticket will be cheerfully supported, not only
by every Democrat in Lancaster county, but
also by many who have heretofore acted and
voted with the opposition.
We have no room for further comment this
week, but shall speak more at length of the
merits of the different candidates during the
progress of the campaign.
Push on the Column
Democrats of Lancaster County ! The time
fur work has come. Our candidates are in

This is the Democratic platform, fellow-cit
izens. Upon this platform your candidates
stand. Never since the adoption of the Con
stitution were mightier consequences suspend
ed upon the issues of a State election. Our
enemies have undertaken to exhume and re
eusoitate the bigoted, exclusive and tyrannical
doctrines of George the lll,—which Our fore
fathers btr.ied in the grave of the Revolution.
The re.:,ult of the election will show whether
the principles of GEORGE WASHINGTON
or George the Third are in the ascendant up
on the soil of Perauvlvania. Freemen of
LANCASTER COUNTY ! Remember that
you are called to tight over again the battles
of the Revolution ;—not, indeed,- with the
sword and bayonet as your fathers did, but
with weapons more dangerous to tyranny and
hateful to tyrants—FßEE SPEECH and the
FREE BALLOT. In the language of "OLD

Your enemies are TRAITORS to all prtrtieS,
but the Abolition party. There are AR

AFTERNOON SESSION
Convention carnet° order at 2 o'clock, when
H. B. Swarr, Esq., on the part of the Com
mittee, submitted the following resolutions
which were unanimously adopted :
1. Resolved, That while the honor and prosperity
of our common country are deeply cherished by ev
ery Democrat, we cannot forget the duties we owe to
our beloved State, with whose welfare the best inter
ests of ourselves and of those who have to succeed us
arc inseparably connected. We regret that the un
fortunate results of the unholy and unprincipled
combinations of the last twelve months, justify us in
characterizing her present State government as the
offspring of a corrupt fusion of men of opposite opin
ions and associations, aided by a secret political or
ganization of the most dangerous character, as the
fruit of . a combination of adventurers eager for pow
er and plunder, and its administration of public af
fairs as a mere instrument of faction and a disgrace
to the Commonwealth.
2. Resolved, That we call upon the Democracy of
Lancaster county, as they value the reputation of
the State, the principles of their fathers, and their
inalienable rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of
happiness, to ponder well upon the snares which sur
round them, and rally as one man to relieve the
Commonwealth of the imputation that, within her
borders, the path to political preferment is through
intrigues and selfish combinations, and that political
power. by whatever means obtained, may here be
abused to any extent which blind fanaticism may
suggest. . _
3. Resolved, That the party in power in this State
are the odds and ends, the fragments and factions,
of all parties—made up principally of those who
have been hanging on the skirts of all other parties
—camp followers, actuated by purposes of plunder—
brought together by a sort of spasmodic action to do
—they hardly know what ; but we know what they
have done ! In many of its leading measures this
Know-Nothing party is entirely against the spirit
and genius of our Constitution, and flagrantly viola
tive of its time-honored provisions.
4. Resolved, That much of the public legislation
of last winter, at Harrisburg, is a disgrace to the sta
tute book—destructive, alike to the interests of the
Commonwealth, and in direct and wilful opposition
to the known wishes of the people.
5. Resolved, That in order to deserve success, the
Democratic party of Lancaster county and of the
State must be true to itself, true to those great na
tional principles inculcated by the illustrious men
of by-gone days, and true to the patriotic, incorrupt
ible, able and faithful men of the party. National
and State legislation must become pure—as the peo
ple cannot be rightfully represented, when the sta
tute books are chiefly Pled with legislation upon the
subject of banking, the incorporation of irresponsi
ble monopolies. or the personal interests of individu
als. The interests of the represented and the wis
dom of legislation call only for the enactment of
few good laws. and those of a general character.
6. Resolved, That we sincerely deprecate the
evils of intemperance, and believe a judicious'-Li
cense System" Would much ameliorate its present
condition ; yet, we cannot but think that the so
called ',lug Law" passed by the “Know Nothing"
Legislature last winter, will prove a miserable abor
tion, on account of its unjust and illiberal restric
tions ; thus increasing the evil it pretends to cure.
T. Resolved, That we cordially approve of the
nomination of the Hon. Arnold Plainer, of Venan
go county, as a candidate for Canal Commissioner,
by the lute Democratic State Convention, regarding
him as a faithful and talented Democrat, and an
honest man, and hereby pledge ourselves to promote
his election by all honorable and fair means in our
•
power.
8. Resolved, That the Democratic party is the
only true national conservative party; is the party
of the Constitution and deserves the continued sup
port of every patriot, for its steady maintenance of
our time honored principles, and uniform advocacy
of every great public measure, which has advanced
the honor and interests of the Republic.
9. Resolved, That we regard the great princi
ple of equal rights, and equal privileges by all
classes of the citizens of this State, without reference
to the place of their birth, or the religion they pro
fess, as the basis of civil liberty.
10. Resolved, That we t 1 avo undiminished con
fidence in the ability and integrity of Franklin
Pierce, and his administration of the Government
of our country.
11. Resoitivd, That the question of slavery in
States or Territories being purely local, should be
settled like other local questions by the citizens of
States or Territories. respectively, without the inter
ference of citizens of sister States.
12. Resolved, That. as Democrats, we eschew all
affinity with secret political associations, and that
the candidates nominated by this convention, be
pledged that they never had, and have not now any
connection with any secret order or association—
Know-Nothings or otherwise—banded together for
political purposes. The said pledge to be in the
following form viz:
I hereby certify and solemnly declare upon honor
as a man and a democrat, that I have not now and
never had, and if elected will not hdve during my
official term, any connection with the secret political
organization, commonly e.illed 'Know Nothings." or
“Americans" and further that I adhere to the Dem
ocratic party, its principles and its usages, and will
have fellowship with no other party.
13, nr,o/ved, That, the above resolution and cer
tificate. are not required front the candidates on ac
count of any supposed want of deMocratic principles
on their part—for we know them to be honest and
pure men—but because we believe it, to be essential
ly necessary at this time to make known our cher
ished principles to the world, and to show that we
mean exactly what we say.
14, Resolved, That if tiny of the candidates de
cline or neglect to sign the above pledge. the Coun
ty Committee be directed to strike off their names
front the ticket and fill the vacancies. '

On motion of John W. Jackson, the Chair
man of the County Committee was empowered
to receive the pledges from the candidates.
On motion, the Convention adjourned
sine die.
There is considerable discussion goirg
on in this City, for the last few days, in refer
ence to the liquor question, and every possi
ble effort is being made to prejudice the public
mind with regard to the sentiments entertain
ed by several of the candidates upon the Dem
ocratic ticket. And this is done in face of the
fact that the Democratic Convention laid down
a platform on that 'subject, upon which the
candidates of the party all stand, fair and
square ; besides this, it is the only one of the
three parties now in existence, in the county,
that has showed its hand on the subject. Will
those who are finding fault with the Demo
cratic ticket, or any portion of it, be kind
enough- to tell us what platform either the
Whigs or Know-Nothings have erected on that
subject ? We should be extremely glad to see
it—lbr we are opposed to all dodging or equiv
ocation on that or any other question.

Well Done For Maine !
The election iu the State of Maine, w
came off on Tuesday last, has resulted in
total overthrow of Know-Nothingism, M.
Lawism, Abolitionism, and every other
which has afflicted that good Democii
Commonwealth fur the last few years
following is the glorious result, so far as h
from, on the gubernatorial question:
Wells, (Dem.) 40,073
Morrell, (K. N. &c.) 43,690
Reed, (Whig,) 9,306
It requires a majority of all the votos
to elect. There being no choice made by
people, it will devolve upon the Legislatni
elect a Governor, and also a U. S. Senate
The Legislature just elected, will stand
Democrats and old lino whigs, to 10 K.
Nothings, Main Lawites and Abolition.
and in the House nearly two to one in opri
tion to Morrell.
Last year the unholy combination of it
swept every thing before it in the Stag
Maine; but the "Star in the East" is
righting herself, and has again taken her
sition in the Democratic line.
A Falling off t
At the Know-Nothing Delegate Election
this county, on Saturday week, there
but 2345 votes polled in all, notwithstans
the active and strenuous efforts made by l
different aspirants for nomination on:the t
et, to poll a large vote. In this City the e
vote, we believes was only about 400.
Last fall, the Know-Nothing vote in the
City was 1091, and in the county betwem 5
and 6000. From this, it is easy to conc•ive
that Know-Nothingism is in a rapid dee ine
both in the City and County of Lancaster.

We commend the sentiment contained in
the subjoined brief extract from a speech le
cently delivered by Thomas Ford, the Lieut.
Governor of Ohio, to the consideration of
those Know-Nothings who abuse- the sacred
name "American"- by coupling it with their
proscrptive principles. The paragraph is elo
quent as it is patriotic :
"Birth place is an accident—you and I
can't help that. But our principles and our
character are our own : we make them. We
are not responsible for the former; we are
for the latter. I am for making principles
and character, then, not birth place, the test
of citizenship. I ask for one thing and will
have one thing, and that is all I ask or care
for— r that a man shall be an American at
heart ; if he be so, on whatever sod he drew
his first breath, or whatever his creed, I give
him a hand with a heart in it—l receive Lim
antl weldome him as a brother. If he is oot
such, whether burn here or elsewhere, I that't
want to recognize him, and woul,l not if 1
had my way."

us, and will listen with pleasure 'to the words
of wisdom which may drop from his lips. The

Some of the ablest literary men of our own

consented are the. Rev. Dr. Bowman, Rev. Mr.

lecturers to be obtained, when the course will
be complete, presenting two lectures a month

For the Lancaster Intelligencer.
MR EDITOR:—In your issue of Tuesday
week, a correspondent, over the signature of
" Carl," has allowed his bile to boil over, in
condemnation of some of our recently erected,
public edifices. Although 1 might not hay
agreed with him in his opinion, there given, •
should not have troubled myself oT you, by
controverting it in one single point, had he
not, from want of proper /information, con
demned material used on the seats, which he,
in his jocularity or ridicule, termed apple-but
ter ; whilst the truth is, the best varnish at•
tainable was used; hut, in consequence of the
room being closed up instead of thrown open
when it should have been, to have allowed the
varnish to dry.' If Carl will take the trouble
to visit two or three of the Public Buildings,
erected about the same time as the Court
House, he will find the same cause for com
plaint; but which was not the -fault of the
Mechanic engaged, but erode from the same
cause, as did that in the Court room executed
by me. S. W. TAYLOR.
j ar The Whig State Convention which
met at Harrisburg last week, nominated Jo-

er PETER MARTIN, Esq., of this county, or
JOHN SNODGRASS, Esq., of Westmoreland, has
been selected to bear the dark and proscript

In pursuance of public notice, a meeting of the
citizens of this borough was held in the Town Uall,
on Thursday evening, September 13, 1855. The
meeting was organized by the appointment of J. W.
FISHER, Esq., Chairman, and B. K. MAYER, Secreta
ry.
The object of the meeting was then briefly stated
by the chairman, which was to adopt some measures
expressive of the feelings of the citizens of the bor
ough in relation to the decease of Br. A. Clarkson
smith and Mr. D. It. Craven.
11'heteupon, on motion of J. M. Strickler, Esq., a
Committee of five were appointed to dratt resolutions,
expressive of the feelings of the meeting. The chair

J. M. Strickler, Bev. E. Erskine, ti. M. North, J. G.
L. Brown, Philip F .Fry ; and on motion, the Chair
man and Chief Burgess, John Finger, Esq., were ad
ded to the committee.
The following is the report of the Committee :
The committee appointed to draft resolutions ex
pressive of the views and feelings of the citizens of
the borough of Columbia, Pa., in public meeting as
sembled, in relation to the death of A. Clarkson
Smith, M. D., and Mr D. H. Craven, would make
the I.:Mewing report:
117/ereas, At °Aide meeting of the citizens of the
borough of Columbia, held for the purpose of devil
ing and adopting measures of relief in aid of the suf
ferers from the pestilence prevailing in the cities of
Norfolk and Portsmouth, Va., Dr. A. C. Smith and
Mr. D. It. Craven volunteered their services, the one
to go as physician, and the other as nurse, to the re-
Het of the suffering in the above places, which ser
vices were accepted by said meeti, g, and their value
and peril duly appreciated by our whole community,
as was evident from the deep and general interest
manifested at their departure.
And Tlrherea s, The mournful" intelligence has
been received that Dr. A. C. smith died at the Naval
Hospital, Norfolk, Va., on last Saturday, the Sth
inst., of yellow fever, and that Daniel It. Crave n
had also died of the same fever at the same place ;
theretore
Itesolved; 1. That wo have received the above
sad and distressing intelligence with deep and heart
felt sorrow.
Resolved, 2. That in the death of Dr. Smith,
this borough has lost one of its most valued citizens,
and the profession of which he was a metriber, one
of its .brightest ornaments; and that it is with mel
ancholy sucisfaction that we era able to bear testi
mony to the many noble virtues which met and
blended in his character; to his fine natural endow
ments, his accomplished soholarsuip, and his quick
and ready intelligence, Isis fidelity and devotion to
the duties of his profession, his kind and urbane de
portment—all of which conspired to reader him em
inently useful and successful in his profession, and
greatly to endear him to all who shared his society
or services. His life, which was so full of promise,
was ono in which we all had an interest. His death,
though a noble sacrifice, offered up upon the altar of
humani y, is one which we all most deeply mourn.
Resolved, 2. That in the death of Daniel R. Cra
ven this meeting, mindful of his valuable services
during the ravages of the cholera in this place, and
of his constant readiness to devote himself to the re-
lief of the suffering, would bear testimony to his cor
rect and benevolent deportment, and acknowledge
that in his decease the community has sustained a
loss of ono who has ever shown himself to bo 'a
frieud,in need."
Rekaved. 4. That we tender our most affectionate
sympathies to the bereaved parents and friends of
the deceased.
Veroeyed, 5. That a committee of three . ho ap

ward be appointed, whose duty it shall be to solicit
donations from the citizens of the borough and friends
of the deceased, sufficient to defray the expenses of
their removal and
re-interment, and the
of `i' l " - Ir tu!rgtaes 2l:,ver, 7. That mourn graves.
° myste
rious and afflicting dispensations of Divine Providence
towards us, we at the seine time continue most cor
dially to sympathize with those, in their severer
trials and sorer bereavements, for whose relief our
deceased friends periled and sacrificed their lives,
and most earnestly pray that the God of Providence
may speedily say to the destroying angel, " it is
enough, stay now thy hand."
Resolved, 8. That a copy of the foregoing resolu
tions, signed by the officers of this meeting, be for
warded to the parents of the deceased, and that they
be published in the Columbia Spy, with the request
that the papers of Lancaster and York counties copy

INPORTANT TO ROAD VIEWERS -It may not
be generally known that road viewers are en
titled to mileage, under a recent Act of As
sembly. Purdon's Digest, Edition of 1.854,
Fees of Jurors. Sec. 55, page MT, contains
the following :
"And the Jurors attending a view shall in
addition to their pay, be allowed mileage in
the same manner as Jurors attending Court."
Sec. 54—Makes the mileage six and a quar
ter cents for each mile he shall travel going
o and returning from the same.
BS. Murders are becomming almost daily
occurrences in Philadelphia. The last'one
was committed on Tuesday night. The vic
tim was a colored hostler, named John Thomas.
He was first robbed, and then murdered, in a
stable in Grape street. The murderer has
not yet Veen detected.
COUNTERFEIT NOTES.—Counterfeit notes on
the Bank of Commerce, Baltimore, of the de
nomination of $.5, Letter 8., dated April 2,
1855, signed James C. Allnut, President, and
George C. Miller, Cashier, are in circulation.
The paper is bad, and the note easily detect
ed.
The Democratic Convention of Pike
county have appointed OSCAR H. MOTT, Esq.,
Delegate to the next State convention.
ALL THOSE OPPOSED TO Loco FOCOIS3L—The
Democrats who have been deceived into the
Know-Nothing Lodges will find that opposi,
tion to their old party is the real motive (tho'
not always admitted) of the leaders of the
new organization. The Bucks county, Pa.,
Intelligencer, a Whig paper, speaks of the call
of the Secret Order in that county as follows:
"On Saturday a Convention is called at the
Court House by the American Executive Com
mittee, in which all persons opposed to Loco-
Focoism are invited to take part, to place in
nomination a county ticket.'
So that hostility to foreigners, to Catholics,
and to the naturalization laws, is all aban
doned, fur the purpose of destroying the "Lo
co Foco party,' which the Philadelphia Con
vention, by a unanimous vote, resolved out of
existence last June. •
