Sept. 25
Democrats t are you Assessedt
We would remind our Democratic friends
of the necessity of having their names on the
Assessment lists AT LEAST TEN DAYS
BEFORE THE ELECTION. The lists are
now placed at the several election polls, where
they may be examined. See that your name
is recorded in good time, or your vote Skill be
lost. Young men who last year voted "on
age" should see that they have been assessed
this year.
The Pledge Signed
The Chairman of the Democratic County
Committee, 11. B. SWARR, Esq., requests us
to announce that, in obedience to the resolu
tion of the County Convention, he addressed a
letter with the pledge annexed to each candi
date upon the ticket, and that all hare signed
the same promptly and cheerfully. They,
therefore, each and all stand "fair and square"
upon the platform of the Convention, and are
entitled to the support of every Democrat in
the County.
Democrats of Lancaster County!
But two weeks intervene between this and
the election, and what is to be done in the
way of organization, for the purpose of bring
ing every voter to the polls, must he done
quickly to have the desired effect. There is
not a moment to lose. Our Know-Nothing
enemies are busily at work endeavoring to
create distraction in the Democratic ranks.—
They fear that if the Democracy present a
united front in support of their ticket, they
will succeed, and thus give a death-blow to
Cameronianism in Lancaster county. Hence
their virulent and vindictive assaults upon
several of the Democratic candidates, and
hence their efforts to poison the minds of hon
est, but unsuspecting members of the party
against a portion of the ticket. Here, in the
City, in this hot-bed of faction and Know-No
thingism, all the schemes and plots originate,
and from this centre it is sought to poison and
corrupt the minds of the people throughout
the county.
What say you, Democrats of the - Country ?
Will you listen to the false and malicious fab
rications of this central banditti? Is there
any doubt as to the political integrity of any of
your candidates? Are they not men of char
acter as Democrats and as citizens? Can
aught be laid to the charge of such men as
Messrs. Henderson, Brush, Reinhold, Gross,
Howell, Spencer, Duchman, Eckert, Mason,
Huber, or Ream ? Dare any one charge them,
or either of them, with any thing wrong?—
Then why should . they not have the cheerful
support of every Democrat in the County?—
We pause for a reply. Yet these are the men,
together with the humble writer of this arti
cle, whom the factious and unprincipled in
the City are endeavdring by foul means and
base inuendoes to strike down ! Will not the
Democrats of the Country rally to the rescue,
and rebuke these political trimmers in the
City, and teach them a lesson of honesty and
integrity? We believe they will. Yea, we are
sure the Country Democrats will do their whole
duty un the,second Tuesday of October.
Know , Nothiugism Exemplified
Not content with misrepresenting the course
of the editor of this paper on the subject of
temperance, the Know Nothing leaders are
busy in attempting to get up a prejudice
against him because he happens to belong to a
particular branch of the Christian Church.
This is only carrying out one of the leading
principles of i iriow Nothingism. First they
persecute Catholics—now they are down on
the Methodists. Next; we suppose, they will
attack the Lutherans, the Presbyterians, the
German Reformed, the Episcopalians, the
Baptists, and so on to the end of the chapter.
Well, be it so, we have no objection to them
pursuing such a course, and are prepared for
the sacrifice, if it must be so. But will the
honest and well meaning part of the communi
ty, look upon such conduct with complaCeney?
We were early taught, and so have always
believed, and ever shall believe, that religion
is. a matter between man and his Maker, to
whom alone he is responsible fur his belief,
and that no human power has any right to
interfere with it. The Know Nothings, how
ever, think and act differently—and they do
it too in the face of the Constitution which
guarantees the liberty of conscience to every
man. More anon.
This gentleman—the Democratic nominee
for Canal Commissioner—is one of the purest
and best men in the Commonwealth, and will
be elected by an overwhelming majority.—
The respectable papers of every party in the
State speak of him in terms of praise—all,
even his bitterest political enemies, admit
that he stands before the people with a char
acter, both moral and political, unstained by
a single blemish. Such a man the people will
always delight to honor.
Peter Martin—Canal Commissioner
This gentleman, it appears, is the Know-
Nothing candidate for Canal Commissioner.—
Ile is a respectable citizen of Lancaster coun
ty,, and our regret is that he has permitted
himself to be the candidate of such a party.—
There are now, we believe, no less than fire
candidates in the field fur the post of Canal
Coinmissioner, viz :
Arnold Plumer, (Dem.) Yenango.
Joseph Henderson, (Whig) Washington.
Peter Martin, (K. N.) Lancaster.
Kimber Cleaver, (N. Amer.) Schuylkill.

THE NEW REPUBLIC.—This is the title of a
monthly Journal, about to be started in llar
risburg, by John Wolf, an intelligent colored
man, who will doubtless be able to make it
interesting to all who wish well to the cause
of Liberian Colonization to'which it is mainly
to be devoted. To be published on the first
of every mouth, at $1 per ihnum. We wish
The Howl of the Opposition.
_ It is either the good fortune or ituisfortune
of at least one of the Democratic 'Candidates,
to be the most talked of, and, in some-res
pecta, the best abused and misrepresented
nutri in the county at the present time. Not
that they pretend to say any thing against his
moral . or political character—for that we
opine they will hardly attempt—but, forsooth,
he is a sober man, (not a temperance man ac
cording to the common acceptation of the
term, for be never was a member of a temper
ance society) and tries to lead a moral, up
right life, without interfering with his neigh
bors in. any way that he can avoid ; because
he is known to be an early, consistent and
unfaltering friend of Mr. BurcaANAN ; and be
cause he is the known and avowed opponent
of SIMON CAMERON in all his insidious move
ments for political promotion. We apprehend
this last to be the true reason of the wicked,
venomous and continued assaults upon the
candidate referred to—hence all the Know-
Nothing shafts are aimed at his devoted head,
and the edict has gone forth (doubtless from
the great Mogul of the Middletown Bank him
self) that SANDERSON must be defeated, by
all means, should it be at the expense of
honor, honesty and even decency itself.
From the moment the nomination was mad,
till this hour, vituperation and calumny have
been freely employed by the Know-Nothing
partisans of Cameron ; and, we have very
1 little doubt, that, in addition to all these foul
and unfair means, money will be furnished
and freely used to accomplish the object.
It rests now with the true-hearted Demo
cracy of the county to say whether they will
fold their arms and see one of their candidates
sacrificed and the whole ticket defeated, to
gratify Know-Nothing spleen, and promote
the election of Simon Cameron to the cr. S.
Senate: For that is the issue, and the great
leading issue in the present campaign. Cam
eron is at work, day and night, to secure a
majority of Know-Nothings of the Winneba
go stripe to the next Legislature so that he
may be sent to the U. S. Senate, and the five
members from Lancaster county would be a
great help to him in securing the object of
his ambitious longings. Will any Democrat
—will any honest man of any party, be wil
ling to aid, either actively or passively, in
bringing about such a result? We think nut.
We believe there is too much honesty and in
telligence in the great mass of the people of
Lancaster county to be made the dupes of a
designing, dishonest political demagogue, and
we shall be much mistaken indeed, if the Se
cond Tuesday of October does not teach him
and his dark lantern party a lesson which
will be of use to them in all time to come.
A Good Sign
If the Democratic ticket be so weak and ob
jectionable as some of its opponents would fain
make the public believe, why do they aim all
their envenomed shafts at it, or at least at
several of the candidates upon it? Why waste
so much breath in falsifying and misrepresent
ing any of the Democratic nominees, if there is
do danger of their election ? It is a most sin
gular course, to say the least of it ; and is
proof positive of one of two things—either a
disposition wilfully to misrepresent for the
love of the thing, or else a strong and growing
fear (which is more probable) that the Demo
oratic ticket stands decidedly the best chance
of an election.
We hear nothing said about any of the can
didates on either of the other tickets in the
field. The whole artillery of our Know-Noth
ing opponents is directed against the Demo
cratic ticket in general, and our humble self
in particular. We hope they will continue to
fire away in the same direction ; we shall take
it as a good sign—an unerring indication of
the way the wind blows. We hope our Dem
ocratic friends throughout the county will
mark this sign of the times, and do their
whole duty accordingly.
An Immense Meeting
The celebration of the 08th anniversary of
the adoptital of the Federal Constitution, in
Philadelphia, on the evening of the 11th inst.,
was a monster assemblage of the Democracy.
Independence Square was filled to overflow
ing, and the Pennsylvanian estimates the
number of persons present at 30,000! The
meeting was presided over by that veteran
Democrat, FREDERICK STCEVER, Esq., who was,
assisted by a large number of Vice Presidents
and' Secretaries—amongst whom we recognize
the names of our esteemed fellow-citizens, Dr.
F. -A. Muldenberg, and Messrs. James L.
Reynolds and 11. B. Swarr. Strong resolu
tions were adopted, and patriotic'letters read
from Gen. Lewis Cass, of Michigan, Hon. G.
M. Dallas, ex-Governor Bigler, Gov. Henry
A. Wise, of Virginia, lion. John Slidell, of
Louisiana, Hun. John R. Thompson, of New
Jersey, and Hon. Daniel E. Sickles, of New
York. Speeches were made by Hon. W. A.
Richardson, Col. John W. Forney, Hon. Bar

A NEW PAPER.—A new Democratic weekly,
called the " Spirit of Seventy-Six," has been
started in Philadelphia, by C. D. lIINELINE,
Esq., formerly editor of the Camden (N. J.)
Democrat. The second number is now before
us, and presents a neat and attractive appear
ance; and from the well known talents and
business capacities of Mr. IL we have no
doubt the "Spirit" will be a valuable help to
the Democracy of Philadelphia. We wish
our friend every success in his•euterprise.

Another Richmond in the Field!
The "Constitutional Freedom Committee"
Francis H. Carpenter, Chairman—met at
Christian Shenk's Hotel, on Saturday after
noon last, and selected the following names
from the three regular tickets already in the
field, to compose the "Constitutional Free
dom" ticket for the Legislature, viz:
Henry Schaffner, Know-Nothing.
Henry H. Kurtz, Whig.
John Strohm, do.
Jesse Reinhold, Dem
George G. Brush ; do.
Mr. Schaffner was present as one of the
"Constitutional Committee," had himself set
tled, and, of course, will stand the 'nomination.
But whether the other gentlemen named will
accept the honors so unexpectedly and with
out solicitation conferred upon them, remainns
to be seen. We doubt it exceeding, at least
so far as Messrs. Reinhold and:Brush are con
cerned. Whilst they will, of course, be thank
ful to receive the votes of their fellow-citizens
of all parties, they will hardly, in justice to
the Democratic party, whose candidates they
are, be willing to accept a formal nomination
from any other party, lo matter by what
name it is called.

"Mr..Presideat, the party to - *Mob I once
belonged—the Whig party—is now no more.
But its principles remain, and they will re
main forever. Believing in their consonance
with the permanent establishment of civil lib
erty and the perpetuity of our institutions, I
shall cling to them. as the bright hope of the
republic, and though but few remain of the
gallant band, whose voices nerved the arm of
the immortal Clay, yet, like the leaves of the
Sybil, they grow more precious as they
number.'
The eloquent Geo. W. Caldwell said:
"Thiold democratic party, God bless her !
still lives, with all her glorious memories clus
tering around her. She can boast of a na
tionality co-extensive with the Union. Her
creed is one. Her orators mny proclaim the
same living truths in. Kentucky and Indiana,
in the Old Dominion and in the Keystone,
among the granite hills of New Hampshire or
the savannas of Georgia. She has no need of
concealment or of dark lanterns; no religious
proscription, no persecution of races, no blood
of innocent victims, mark her career with in
famy and crime. Her history is the history
of the preservation and progress of the Union.
Mark the expansion of our territory, the in
crease of our population, our wide-spread
commerce, our happy people, the triumphs of
our flag by sea and land--these are the tro
phies which the democratic party have laid at
the feet of the Union. In her are all the hopes
of the Union centered. Her nationality has
stood the test of the severest trials in the past.
And now, Mr. President, in the coming con
flict for the preservation of 'a constitutional
Union,' and in defence of human liberty, our
hearts are cheered and gladdened by the fra
ternal shouts of our noble allies—a new con-
tingent to the democratic forces, composed of
the very elite of the old Whig party; their no
ble patriotism, as expressed by their distin
guished orator who has just taken his seat,
brings joy to the hearts of the democracy, and
gives them renewed confidence in their cause.
The allied army, and they only, can perpetu:
ate the Union."
Judge W iikins ngeinst the Jug Late.,,
The veteran statesman, William Wilkins,
the Democratic nominee for the State Senate
in the Alleghany district, is oui; In a long and
able letter against the so-called "Jug Law" of
the last Legislature, and in facer of its repeal.
We extract from it the following paragraphs :
I .ant not an example of reformation. I
have been throughout my long days;and in
the course of many vicissitudes, a rigidly tern•
palate man. I have never, in the midst of
the revel and frolics of others, been intoxicar--
ed. I have never drank malt liquor, wine or •
spirits in the many and varied scenes of divers
ified society in which 1 have been thrown at
home and abroad. I am, sincerely, the advo
cate of Temperance, and my soul yearns fir r
the wholesome return which would expel from
our community habits of over indulgence and
the imprudent use of drinks so ruinous to our
advancement and happiness in life.
But, the great and deeply interesting ques
tion is—How is this reform to be brought
about ? I answer, by example, reason and
moral suasion ; by the training of our youth
and by education ; by the teaching of your
neighbor, the schoolmasters, and the Ministers
of the Church, and by models, brightly serv
ing for illustration, placed before us by our
enthrisiastic legislators themselves. This
great social and absorbing object cannot be
obtained by persecution, nor by wild and ex
travagant enthusiasm ; nor by the imposition
of heavy fines and imprisonment, making the
poor poorer, and ruinous to the unoffending
family of the delinquent. Nor by laws so
novel and penal as to be almost impossible to
be carried into execution, and, certainly so re
pulsive to the good sense of the community
that nothing but the penalty of forfeiture
would excite and bring out the inthrmer and
extort the odious accusation before the magis
trate. Norcouldanygoodwholesomeur efficacy
be found in theenactment of astatute, already
abjured and condemned at its birth place, the
" Maine Liquor Law," passed by the people
of a State whose liquor flows as plentifully as
their own river of Penobscot. I would as
'soon think of reviving in Pennsylvania some
of the laws of those eastern fellow citizens
against witchcraft and sorcery,-as to follow
their modern example, manifesting how gifted
they are in the office of intolerance.
With my views as to the proper mode of re
form, and in my hostillity to over severe pen
alties, and to the imposition of disproportioncd
fines and imprisonment, I should have voted,
had I been a member of the Legislature,
against the present " License Law,"
(meaning the " Jug Law ") and am
of opinion it should not remain up rn our sta
tute book. It was not called for by the pub
lic voice, and was in positive disregard of the
vote of the people of the State. It was in
mockery of the solemn judgment of the free
men of the Commonwealth, called for by the
legislature itself.
BOSTON COURIER AND MAINE ELES"FION-
The Boston Courier, an opposition journal'—a
'violent and persistent antagonist of President
Pierce, his administration, and all its meas
ures, including the Nebraska bill in particular
--comments as billows upon the recent result
in Maine:
"The Maine election has settled two things:
In the first place, it has decided that the un
reasonable and fanatical liquor law, which
had its origin in that State, has not a majori
ty of the voters of Maine among its supporters,
though it had the assistance of all the strength
which the opponents of the Nebraska fraud,
when gathered into a similar party, could
lend to it ; secondly, it tells the friends of fu
sion that while whig seceders—whips with
weak backs and frightened faces—went into a
' mumbo jumbo' to effect sonic popular issue,
and to. keep their political heads above water,
they have been most signally defeated on the
simple ground upon which they had based
their hopes and predictions.
" The fusion men are defeated entirely in
Maine, as they are always likely to be when
they enter the political field on their own ac
count. Coy. Morrill, is beaten down, the
Maine law is discountenanced, the issue, which
Was placed upon sumptuary laws and aboli
tionism, has been decided against the support
ers of both these single ideas, and the end is
that, in a great vote, the people of Maine have
declared against all fanatical fusion."
PRESIDENT PIERCE GOING TO HARRISBURG.-
A letter has been received by Robert C. Walk
er, Esq., from a gentleman in Washington
city, stating that President Pierce has accept
ed the invitation to visit the Agricultural Ex
hibition, "and may confidently be looked fur,
unless some unavoidable business prevents
his leaving the seat of government at the
time."
DROUGHT IN RHODE ISLAND.—It is stated
that one-half of the manufacturing machinery
in Rhode Island has been stopped on account
of a drought. Upon both branches of the
Pawtucket river there are about 162,000 cot
ton spindles, more than 100,000 of which are
entirely stopped. Upon the Blackstone it is
not so dry, but at least one-half of the machin
ery in all the mills is lying idle.
The late Naval Board made a report, in
which the entire list of naval officers has been
overhauled, and many of all grades have been
dropped, and others placed on half-pay, sub
ject to orders from the department at any time.
This will leave room for the promotion of
many who have long occupied inferior stations.

We are well acquainted with the operations

of this Saving Fund. We have ourselves fre
quently deposited large sums in it—ar in
daily personal intercourse with its officers and
directors. A great many of our friends lso

a very small sum has frequently led to the

commission of both these crimes. These cal
amities are not confined to our cities, bu, , in
proportion to the population, are even More
frequent in the country. There is reaso ' to
believe that a great many fires which hav oc
curred both inithe city and country have been
preceded by robbery, and the fire created for
the purpose of concealin g it. It is therefore
a treat public benefit to have an institution in
which any sum of money, large or small, can
be placed with interest while it remains, and
from which the •owner can get it back again
in gold at any moment he pleases to can - for
it. Precisely such an institution is the Say;

we feel confident that people who put their
money in it instead of keeping it in their own

understood that many people who have large
sums have come from a great distance to c l put
their money in this Saving Fund, on ae ount
of the superior safety and convenience ii af
fords. and consequently have been relieved
from the care and anxiety inseparable L from
keeping it in their own houses.
It may be 'proper also to state that the mon

MEETING OF INN AND TAVERN KEEPERS.-
The meeting of Inn and Tavern Keepers of
the county on Monday week, was largely at
tended. The meeting organized at Fulton
Hall, by the appointment of Col. D. Herr, of
Columbia, President, and JAL Watkins and
11. A. Zug of this city, Secretaries.
On motion it was resolved, that no person
not interested in the liquor trade, be allowed
to vote on any question befltre the meeting.
A committee of fifteen was appointed to
draft resolutions expressive of the sense of the
meeting, who after a short absence returned
and reported the following preamble and res
olutions, which were read singly and unani
mously adopted :
NVIfEREAS, Whenever any law is passed in
defiance of the will of the people once fairly
and solemnly expressed, and particularly
when an oppressive and unjust law is thus
passed, it is right, proper, and expedient that
the people should not only repudiate and re
uninstrate against the acts of their tanfaitlifiti
publiA servants, but should cause such
to be repealed, and treat them as nullities %vitt,
die contempt they deserve.
:hp/ Whereas, The notorious "Jug Lau . ' i.
such :111 enacuucut and was rithir;l.%
1.0 the 1,011111:1r will, inasmuch as by the t“ii
tho people upon the question
the expediency of malting any enactment ii
ill the nature of a Prohibitory Law, and al,•i
ishing the present license system, was fairi : .
put in iSsue and decided against. Be it
therefire.
Rerolrul, That the '`Jug Law" is on enart
mew not only utterly uncalled for and not re
quilts' by the wants or the people but passed
contrary - to their trill, It is the result of the
labors politieaL trinnuers, actuated by, a
desire to please both sides on at public question
of cowards, without the independence 101111
11131111110.:S to express their opinions and tak,
a stand either way, zw,l of knaves regardless
ol' the Nvishes of the people who placed tloqn
in their position.
Resolved, That the course of friends of Pro
hibition in io-ofessiug themselves satisfied wit!
bringing the question of Pt-phibition before
the people, and abiding by their decision was
against them, and they happened to secure
sufficient strength in the Legislature so to do,
Will deservedly consign their cause to oblivion,
and their action in fOrcing law upon the
people will recoil upon their own heads.
liesoleed, That the "Jug Law" is unworthy
the respect and veneration due to law, it does
not deserve popular, obedience because it was
passed without the popular sanction, and it
shoultrbe treated as null and void.
n , ,
Ind
it,
On motion a resolution was adopted, appoint
ing a committee of live, to be styled the "Cen
tra Committee,' whose duty it shall be to pro
cure a list of all the licensed Innkeepers of
the city and county., together with all liquor
dealers ; and assess upon each a tax in propor
tion to their respective licenses, provided
that such tax shall not be less than three nor
more than ten dollars ; and that said commit
tee shall have power to appoint a respectable
person in each township to collect said tax.—
The following gentlemen constitute the com
mittee: Emanuel Shober, Michael Mai rain,
Christian Shenk, Frederick Cooper and lien
ry A. Zug.
The following resolution was then read and
adopted:
Resolved, That we, whose names are here
unto affixed, do agree to continue our business
of Tavern Keepers, to the end of the term fur
which we have paid license to the Common
wealth, being for one year from granting of
employ counsel to prosecute and
d.d• ri..itts and to test the Constitution
abr.) ul the so called "Jurg Law."
On motion it was resolved that the money
collected by the committee, be placed in tin
hands of a treasurer, who shall give security
for the same.

Eimon result of the delegate election

=IUDs' other things, clearly demonstrated the fact
that Know-Nothingism is fast losing its temporary
ascendency in our county, and that even here, the
birth-place and residence of our illustrious Secretary
of State, there is a want of confidence and popular,
ty in the heads of the present State Administration.
The corrupt leaders and office seekers of the order
have been detected, their treachery and villainy
exposed, and already reeling under the burden ut
scorn and hearty hatred, they must ere lung settle
in the giLter of merited oblivion. The It tickling.
lying, cowardly, and perjured politician Must gi‘c
way to the man of sterling worth—fawning syco
phancy, broken promises, and driveling inconsisten
cies, to strict integrity, and honesty of purpose.
From all parts of Our State we hear naught bo,
contemptuous laughter, and stern reproach—a United
and decided opinion, that the present administra
tlon is rotten and cuirupt. Even from under the
respect which some, for selfish motives, reign to have,
we see peeping out the halt disguised, yet visible
form of sarcastic contempt for those who hold high
position, not from merit, but by the force of eirentn
stances.
The defeat to which we have alluded, ( IN-Lilo is

incompetency and treachery, must if the victim be
a man, cover him with mortification and shame

Out of his vanity may yet arise a gliniunsing ray
of hope, to which he will M ' int , only to meet again
with bitter disappointment. If honors await hint
not at home, among his native hills ' where for many
long years he has enchained with . his mighty elo
quence listening auditors, who were eager to catch
each word as it fell from his lips, whilst ranting on
the stumg, or in the Quarter Sessions—where his
praises have been loudly sung, by his blinded, de
luded and erring friends, dupes whose highest am
bition is to play tool to the sycophant. At home
where his private virtues and notorious integrity
are so familiarly known and highly appreciated,
where shall he receive them Well may we wonder
at and surmise the cause of his defeat, by the party
of which he, forgetting the faith of his Catholic
fathers, so boastingly proclaimed himself the head
and front.
1. trust, Mr. Editor, that the U. S. Senate may
never bo disgraced by such superficial, bombastic,
and week demigods as the K. N. aspirants—men
whose political and private lives have been a libel
upon humanity, in whose murky careers there is
not one bright spot—in whose characters there is
not one redeeming trait. May they meet at the
hands of the intelligent voters of our State, their
merited deserts—and may they sink into that insig
nificance among men which Nature designed for
them.

Robert Fulton's Life and itionuntent
We have been informed that our fellow citizen,
J. Franklin iteigart, Esq., has collected in this city
and county, a variety of very interesting incidents
of this distinguished inventor, indicating the charac
ter of the man in his youthful days ; the dawnings
of genius then displayed, until he embarked in the
voyage of life, and by untiring industry, raising
himself above the buffeting storms, and the jeers and
ridicule of his fellow citizens, he created his own
illustrious name, and secured the highest distinction
that mortal man can attain, the admiration, honor
and gratitude of Nations and their posterity.
The book will contain a simple record of facts (ac
companied with numerous engraved plates, copies
of Mr. Fulton's original Drawings and Paintings)
exhibiting the leading incidents and ornaments of
his private character, his elevated principles of ac
tion, his uncommon usefulness and celebrity, and
his undying fame.
Mr. iteigart has succeeded in securing a copy-right
of his work and intends to publish it shortly for the
purpose of purchasing a large square, within the city
limits, to be called FULTON SQUARE, and erect
ing a Monument in the centre. The Monument is
to be of cast iron, a colossal statue of Robert Fulton,
supported by a richly ornamented Pedestal; com
posed of heavy cast plates, containing correct repre
sentations of Mr. Futton's inventions and drawings
in alto relievo.—From the original Patterns and
Moulds, a large number of these ornamented plates
and statues can be cast, and every City in the Dia
od States can be supplied, and enabled to perpetu.
ate the fame of Fulton, at very little expense be
yond the cost of the weight of the iron.
Judging from the style of the National Album,
containing the views of the Publio Buildings at
Washington City, and the emblems and mottoes of
each State, with the Autographs of ' our most cele
brated men, published a few years ago by Mr. Rei
gart, we hate every reason to expect that the life of
Robert Fulton will bo a work of interest and beaut y
