SELECTION ON TUESDAY. NEXT..zI
Siir We invite attention to the very able
address of the Democratic State Ctntral Com
mittee, published on our first page. it will
well repay an attentive perusal, and the sound
Constitutional doctrines it inculcates should
be carefully treasured up in the mind of every
reader.
Democratic Head Quarters
We are authorized to say that the Demo
cratic Head Quarters, on the night of the
election, will be at BARNErr & Cox's "North
American Hotel," fronting the:Railroad. Our
friends from the country are requested to re
port the returns at the above-mentioned place.
Get Your Tickets in Time I
The Democra:tic tickets gave been printed
for nearly a week, and are being distributed
by the energetic and indefatigable Chairman
of the County Committee, Mr. SWARR, when
ever opportunity occurs to place them in safe
hands, and also by personal visits to various
sections of thecounty. There are still a num
ber of districts that have not yet received
their supply ; and the Chairman hopes that
our friends will send for them by some care
ful hand, as it is impossible for him to visit
every district in person.
Turn out to the election on Tuesday
next, fellow Democrats of Lancaster County,
whether it RAINS or SHINES. Let no
thing, save sickness or death, keep you from
the Polls. Give the whole, or at least a part
of that day to:your country—and thereby aid
in putting down the intolerant, proscriptive
and wicked political heresy of KNOW-NO
THINGISM. Then, when the battle is fought
and won, and Democracy triumphant, you
can rest from your labors, and have the pleas
ing reflection beside that you discharged your
duty faithfully and well, and assisted in the
glorious achievement.
Arc You All Ready, Democrats I
Democrats of Lancaster County ! What
say you? Are you thoroughly organized and
ready for . the great contest on Tuesday next?
Are you anxiously awaiting the day when
you will, by your active and energetic partici
pation, help to secure the triumph in the County
which assuredly awaits us if every Democrat
does his duty.
The Know-Nothing leaders are alarmed—
hence their violent assaults upon several of
the Democratic nominees. These dark-lantern
follower's of Simon Cameron are beginning to
see the hand-writing upon the wall ; and, in
proportion as they find their unholy cause
sinking in public estimation, they are becom
ing more desperate and reckless in their as
saults upon the Democratic candidates whom
they look upon as by fnr their most formida
ble antagonists.
The bitterness, mingled with the illy con
cealed despondency of the dark-lantern tribe
of political desperadoes, should have the effect
of stimulating our Democratic friends to re
double their exertion s in the glorious cause
for which they hove so nobly contended,
against fearful odds, in many a hard fought
battle-field. For twenty-seven years, the De
mocracy of this County have been made
"hewers of wr,od and drawers of water"—have
been trampled under foot by a heartless and
tyrannical majority. But' a brighter day is
dawning—yea, is already illuminating the
political horizon ; and if we are but true to
ourselves, true to the interests of the great
Democratic party, true to the Constitution of
our common .country, the sun will rise they
morning after - the election on the redeemed,
regenerated and disenthralled County of Lan
caster.
Ite„. Democrats of Lancaster County? Re
merbber that the vote you gave Gen. PIERCE,
in 1852, will be sufficient to elect your entire
County Ticket now. Won't you give it ?
Won't you even do more than that? With
all the defection from our ranks, brought
aboukby Know-Nothingism and other causes,
there are still some six thousand honest and
true men in the party who have never bowed
the knee to the base and intolerant proscrip:
tion which seeks to lord .it over this lovely
portion of our Commonwealth. These six
thousand votes should all be polled on Tues
. day next. And, in addition, we have reason
to believe that there are hundreds of honest
Whigs in the County who will willingly
lend you a helping hand in "crushing out"
the monster of Know-Nothingism.
We hope you will each and all do your
whole duty from this time-until the closing of
the polls on Tuesday evening. Let the glori
ous rallying cry be—The Union—the Consti
tution—the Rights of the-People—the Ticket,
the Whole Ticket, and Nothing but the Ticket
—and all will be well.
Our Prospects Brightening!
We have received retters within a few days
from Manheim, Sadsbnry, Cmrnarvon, the Co
calicos, Strasburg, Fulton, Bart, Columbia,
and various other points in the county—all of
which speak in the most flattering tones of
the prospect of electing our whole, ticket. Our
friends, in those districts, are doing their
whole duty manfully and fearlessly—and if
their example is imitated by our brethren in
the other districts of the county, a glorious
victory awaits the party on Tuesday next.
JJSH ON THE COLUMN, DEMOCRATS !
Hon. Arnold Plnmer.
This gentleman attended the Agricultural
Fair, at Harrisburg, last week and won gold
en-opinions from all, by his urbane and gen
tlemanly deportment. 'Mr. P. has a fast hold
on the affections of the people of Pennsylva
nia, as will be abundantly manifested by the
immense v , ,te he will receive at the election
on Tuesday next.
Know-Nothing Extravagance Z
The last session of the Know-Nothing Leg
islature cost the State 2100,223 20.
The session of 1854, controlled by the Dem
ocrats, cost only $79,849 09.
Here is a difference of $20,974 111 in
favo‘r of Democratic over Know-Nothing rule.
Which, then, of the three tickets in the field
is most worthy of your support, fellow citizens
of Lancaster county? the Democratic, the
Whig, or the Know-Nothing. Will you by
your votes on Tuesday next sanction such ex
travagance, or will you support the Democrat
ic ticket which represents the true partrof
eform? Time will determine.

'Ever since the r$ gibe pr4mt Icipw-
Noihing organization, there haab4a a 4 1{40,._
striiggle going od;betieen the7nntagiilis' tic(
and repugnant elekumtk of which it is compo
sed. Its an, thougt;f6ble, was directed to
the great purpose of building up a National
party; but, like the plus efforts of the boy
who aimed at the Sun, has fallen far short of
the mark.
- There was once a National party in oppo
sition. to the Democracy, which caused the
Democratic banner to trail at times after
manly, open, and well-fought battle. But
a brilliant meteor, shining with the light of, a
CLAY, a WEBSTER, and a SCOTT, the Whig par
ty has been broken into a hundred fragments
or factions, and now, perhaps, for the first time
in the, history of the country, the Democratic
party is left without a National opponent.
After in vain endeavoring, at Philadelphia
last summer, to reconcile the Northern and
Southern elements, they separated. - This ac
tion lost them the South. Defeated and dis
mayed by the South and West, Know-Noth
ingism in the North is now being rapidly swal
lowed up by the Abolition horde under the
lead of Stevens, Seward &Co.
To prove this, look for a moment at the
fusion brought about on last Thursday night,
at Harrisburg. There were congregated at the
hour of midnight, in a back room of one of the
Hotels, Thaddeus Stevens, Professor Tiffany,
William F. Johnson, George Darsie, David
Wilmot, and others of the dark lantern Abo
lition stripe. And what was it for? To
withdraw the names of Peter Martin, Pass
more Williamson and Joseph Henderson from
field, as candidates for Canal Commission
er, and substitute . the name of THOMAS
NICHOLSON, of Beaver county, a rank Aboli
tionist Know-Nothing Whig, as the man upon
whom they would all rally in opposition to
Mr. Plumer, the Democratic candidate. This
was done—and now,
"black spirits and white, blue spirits and grey,"
are all shouting loud hosannas to the great
Abolition leader, Thomas Nicholson! Just
what might have been expected. But what
say our Democratic and Whig friends, who
have been misled by the Know-Nothing move
ment, to this new arrangement of Messrs.
Stevens & Co.? Will they consent to be hand
ed over, body and breeches, to the tender
mercies of these Abolition fanatics ? We
shall see. They have but a single choice left
—either to come over at once to the Demo
cratic party and support Mr. Plumer, or take
their position among the filth in the foul
stomach of Abolitionism. There will be no
disgorging this time—but slowly, silently will
it be digested and pass away, leaving no re
collections in the minds of men of the infidel
proscription that would damn a man because
of his religion, and divest him of his most sa
cred rights because of his birth. Nigger
ism is the seven lean kine that is swallowing
up "Sam." The Know-Nothings and old
line Whigs, of to-day, unless they at once
"come out from the foul party," will be the
Abolitionists of to-morrow.
Democrats of Lancaster County!
The time for action—united, vigorous AC
TION—is at hand. Before another issue of
the "Intelligencer" can reach many of our
subscribers in the county, the election will
have been decided, and Democracy, Equal
Rights, and Constitutional Principles will have
triumphed—or the County fall into the hands
of a secret and OATH-BOUND BANDITTI,
who will bring reproach and disgrace upon
the fair fame of this "garden spot" of Penn
sylvania. It is to the Democratic party that
all eyes are now turned—that party which for
more than half a century, in sunshine and in
storm, has fearlessly and unflinchingly
upheld the Constitution of the Country, and
bore the glorious flag of liberty onward to sure
and certain victory. It is to YOU, fellow
Democrats of Lancaster County, who compose
a constituent part of the great Democratic
family of the Commonwealth, that we now
appeal. You have a glorious, a triumphant
victory within your grasp, if you be active,
vigilant and united, with strong hands and
willing hearts in the good cause. WILL YOU
EXERT ALL YOUR POWERS TO SECURE
SO GREAT AN OBJECT ? We believe you
will. Already we hear the busy notes of
preparation on the part of our friends from
almost every district in the county. The OLD
VETERANS of the party are alive to the
importance of the struggle ; the YOUNG MEN
are girding on their armor preparatory to
doing battle valiantly—and ALL seem ani
mated by a strong desire to be found in the
faithful discharge of their duty.
From every section of the County—east,
west, north and south—our friends speak in
the most encouraging manner. They ALL
promise a much stronger Democratic vote
in their townships than has been cast for
many years. They can do all they promise,
AND MORE TOO, if they devote themselves
untiringly to the work from this time until
the polls close on next Tuesday evening ; and
if they do, THE DEMOCRATIC TICKET
WILL BE ELECTED BY A HANDSOME
MAJORITY.
Now, then, Democrats, set to work. Ap
point committees of vigilance in every ward,
borough and township: ORGANIZE THOR
OUGHLY THE PARTY. See to having ar
rangements made by which the aged and in
firm will be brought to the polls. Have cor
rect LISTS of all the Democratic voters in
your districts. Let the Committees be EARLY
on the ground, and if, towards 'evening, they
should find any voters absent—let them be
sent for at once. LET NOT A SINGLE
VOTE BE 'LOST. One vote may decide the
contest. It has done it elsewhere, and upon
other occasions. One vote elected a Demo
cratic Governor in Massachusetts, several
years ago. It may elect the Democratic ticket
in Lancaster County on Tuesday next.
LET EVERY VOTE BE POLLED !
Joining Jiblet■
The old line Whigs of the city of Philadel
phia, have adopted the Know-Nothing ticke
for Sheriff, Clerk of the Orphans' Court, and
Register of Wills. We expected better things
of the Whigs of Philadelphia; but there is
consolation in the well founded belief, that
the Democracy there will beat the combined
opposition.
The fusion, however, shows "which way the
wind blows," and establishes the fact, as we
have frequently stated that Know-Nothingism
is nothing more or less than old Federalism
in disguise.
Don , t`Porget,
VOTERS OF LANCASTER COUNTY, when you go
to the Polls , on Tuesday next, that the Demo
cratic candidates are the only ones in the field
who stand pledged on a platform of principles.
You don't know where the Know-Nothing, or
Whig candidates stand on the Liquor or any
other question in which you are so deeply in
terested. They are unp/edged--and, so far
at least as the Know-Nothing candidates are
concerned, they mast be governed in their
votes, if elected, by the secret Lodges or Coun
cils by which their action will be controlled.
The Democratic candidates tire all right,
and stand fair and square upon the Platform
erected by the Convention which nominated
them. Your.only safety, threiifore, ie in vo
ting for the Democratie ticket from,top 6.bot-„
tom—Canal Commissioner, members of the
Legislature, and all the rest of the candidates.

SEW" The new and splendid Masonic Hall,
Chesnut street, Philadelphia, was dedicated
on Wednesday last. The ceremonies are said
to have been very imposing, and attracted
immense crowds of people. The Procession
by the Brethren numbered, so the city papers
say, some 3,500 strong, making a brilliant
display. Every thing passed off pleasantly,
nothing having occurred to mar the pleasures
of the occasion. The Hall is, perhaps, the
most magnificent structure - of the kind in the
United States, or in the world, 6.nd reflects
great credit alike on the architect and on the
Masonic Order.
Peter Martin
This gentleman has been floored bt• THAD
DEUS STEVENS. This is the unkindest cut of
all. Mr. Martin is a respectable citizen of
Lancaster county, and was, perhaps, the
strongest man that could have been run for
Canal Commissioner in opposition to the Dem
ocratic candidate. But Martin has been over
slaughed to gratify the strong Abolition pro
pensities of Messrs. STEVENS & Co. What will
Mr. Martin's friends do in this contingency?
Will they tamely submit to the yoke put upon
their necks by some fifteen or twenty Aboli
tion leaders, and become the veriest slaves to
the most galling tyranny of their hard and
exacting task-masters ? If they do, then all
we have to say is that they exhibit less of the
spirit of freemen than we supposed, and are fit
subjects of so domineering and lordly a master.
The Whig Party Sold Again I
The Whig party has been sold "body and
breeches" to the Know-Nothings and Aloli
tionists by the nomination of NICHOLSON for
Canal, Commissioner. This is the. work, of
THADJEUS STEVENS, Governor Pot, Lock & Co.,
and it is expected the Whigs will gulp down
the nomination without making any wry faces
about it. What say the old line Silver Grey
National Whigs of the "Old Guard" to this
arrangement? Are they now willing to forego
all their previous professions and predilec- .
tions, and suffer themselves •to be the mere
catspawe of Mr. STEVENS and his confederate
Abolitionists? We shall see what we shall
on Tuesday next.
ger Recollect, Democrats, that the Pont
close at 7 o'clock in the evening of election
day. Be sure that yon are on the ground in
time.

fte... If Mr. NICHOLSON should be elected
the office of Canal Commissioner, it will
shouted forth as an . Abolition triumph all ov
the Union; and good old Union-loving Penns

would exclude the white manborn on .a foreiL
soil from the privileges of citizenship, and é
eate the negro to his place. Mr. NrcnoLs.,

struggles, _with a: change of- scene only, is an
other question. As far as thapharacter of the I
Muscovite race is known, it may be supposed
that the proud andinomitable spirit which lev
elled to the 'ground every town; Village and
hainlet before the invading host of NapOlem
F., and laid in ashes the theMoblest city of the
empire, Will not be crushed and prostrated , ht
the loss of a single fortress. •
I The victory, as anticipated, has..been hoUght
I ,iii an immense price, and with terrific slough
' ter.' Another hecatomb has been offered to
1 the pale Goddess of Fame; 30,000.heman be
ings have been immolated, to affbrd to the
survivers the exultation of a triumphant March
over a_heap of Smouldering ruiris. Tho'Rus
sions blew up their defences, sunk their shirks,
fired the wily, and then crossed the bay.
Conceding the truth of the despatches,.the
town orBbbnlstopol has fallen, -which, however,
does by no means include the fortifications on
the north side. These are of great strength,
and c. mmand, on account of their elevated
position, the opposite shore. An American,
who is serving as an officer of themedicalstaff
in the Russian army, gives the following de
scription of the forts on the north side of the
bay : '
"Oh the north side of the bay is also a sue
cession of hills, some of which are very high,
and running high in every direction. You
find on them all bastions facing in every di
rectitin. These bastions and redoubts extend
up the bay fir a mile or so from the city, and
some of them are ve: y effective, pouring nearly'
a continual stream of balls across the bay into
the' enemy's battery which is nearest the bay.
I think it very doubtful whether the French
would!ba able to hold this city for any length
of time if they could get possession of it, from
the fact that those hills 94 the north side are
taller than those of the south, and the city and
the batteries on them, I thrill; would force
them to leave it. In the lonia, they have been
attempting this from the hind pit the shnth
side. I will finish this by saying that it is
the best fortified place I. over saw. There is
not a hill ur a mound where tt cannon could
be placed with advantage, bueyou find them."
'lllus. after nearly one year of desperate ef
forts, and indescribable suffering, at the cost of
more than a quarter of a millions of human
lives, and nearly 3000 million of francs, the
Allies have at last succeeded in repairing a
serious blunder Committed:At the outset by
Generals St Arnaud and Raglan. They have
gained a position which, after the battle of Al
ma, might have been taken by a coup de suds,
as, at that time, the town of Sebastopol was
entirely opo'n and unfortified on the land side.
From . the• tenor of the French papers it is evi
dent-that the north side of. Sebastopol is yet
unimpared, and hence the report that an allied
force was marching along the, 'coast to inter
cept the retreat of the Russians, appears to be
incorrect, as, also, the rumor that the allied
Generale had demanded the unconditional
surrender of.the Crimea and orOdessa.' "
Even supposing 'that Sebastopol; a fortress
on the ..remotest boundary -of the collosetil
Muscovite empire, has fallen into the hands of
the Allies, what then ? • Would Russia be
humiliated ? Would she bend the neck meek
ly and submissively to receive the last finish
ing stroke in 'the shape of a treaty, dictated
by afew hundred thousand invaders, while
she.can' yet muster an army of treble their
strength? Hitherto we have seen her sol
diers under the most difficult and trying cir
cumstances, at a distance of hundreds of
miles from Russia proper, and deprived, to a
great extent, of the 'necessaries of life as well
as otWarfare, and still they held out relent
lessly against immense odds. Would ' they
surrender the Crimea at the mere bidding of
a foe whom they kept at bay for so long a
time? The probability is, that the Allies
will have to fight for every foot of ground they
expect to occupy. Every important position
will be defended, and surrendered only as a
heap of ruins.
Dl= No: Theory of Yellow Fever
'not of the Charleston Mercury have
been favored by a valuable subscriber to their
jOurnal,'With the subjoined letter frOm J. C:
Norr, M. D., a distinguished physician of Mo
bile, comprehending a theory of the Yellow
Fever, which possesses much interest at the
present time :
MOBILE, Aug. 10, 1855.
You enclose me a scrap froin a newspaper,
in which allusion is made to my predictions
respecting the yellow fever
. which has been
traveling along the sea coast for sevoral
years, and also to my ideas of its ,treatment,
&c. Now, sir, my name has : been :frequently
usedin the public prints, in this ,connection
diiiing lb@ last two years, and T regret to say,
'have been quoted for some opinions which I
have never uttered. As you seem . to feel an
interest in my views on this' Subject, I Will
most cheerfully give you a short i outline of
them.
1. krspitioni.—Whether this epidemic was
really imported from Africa or not, is a point
which cannot be settled fro* . any data yet
- made public,: and I shall not offer you any
speculation on it. One fact, however, is cer
tain: that this disease has traveled steadily
on, since its first appearance An Rio Janeiro
five years ago, along the Carribean .Gulf and
Atlantic coast, until it has at length reached
Norfolk. No mortal of our day is endowed
with the spirit of prophecy; but still we can
often, from the lights of history and observe
thin, predict with tolerable 'adrtainty coming
events; and it was on such data that I ven
tured to foretell that yellow fever would go as
far as Norfolk, which is about the boundary
of the yellow lever latitude, arid also suggest
ed the strong probability that it would visit
our northern cities, where it does occur at
long intervals. Now; the grounds upon which
I made these predictions were as follows :
Yellow fever has, at long intervals, not only in
the Mediterranean, along the Spanish and Afri
can coasts, but in the United States, (about fifty
years ago,) taken on this traveling . charticter.
'About the time alluded to yellow fever extend
ed from southern ports to No folk, and thence
toWinchester, in the interior ; to Philadelphia,
to New. York, and thence to Catskill, on the
North, iver, and to Hartford and Middletown.
!The epidemic 'ln question had. steadily pro
gressed for three years,. from Rio to Mobile
and on to Key 'West and With all Wei) facts
befoila me, I did not hazard much in predict
ing that its progress was onward in the direc
tionit had been traveling. , •
TYPE OF THE DlSEASE.—Fewsnen. of the Uni
ted States have seen 1320F411 of the yellow fever
than'l have, and I have no hesitation in say
ing that this is substiMtitilly the smile disease
as the yellow fever which occurred in Phila
delphia in 1793, and-which 'appeared' from
time to time since. It is the fact with typhoid
fever, cholera, plague, scarlet•fever, small pox,
and all epidemic diseases, thatAhey appear, in
different grades of violence at different times,
occasionally have a greater tendency to travel
over n largeuxtent of country: This has heen
the case - with the yellow fever in question ;
but its modeof attack, •its course Of symptoms,
including yellow skin and black Vomit,; its 'av
erage' duration, &c., are the same .as other
yellow fevers ; and„though it may; have been
somewhat niere,virulent, it is still the same
'disease.

THE BLOODY MoN . D.II - .-- 'lle Reit. 1110:' CUR
RAN, a Methodist clergyman lit Jeffersonville,
Indiana, has, written a letter to Oov. WRIGHT,
from which we .make the following extract:
"The . scenes id Louisville on bloody Monday
havee never been fully .portrayed. From my
chamber window, on that dreadful night, I
witnessed the conflagraticiif of the German
dwellings,. heard 'the screams of women an d
children, the rattle of fire-arms, and the shrieks
ofthe wounded and dying ; and oh ! God. for
bid I should witness such a sight again, even
atsuch a distabee '
• the recollection sickens me,
and fills me with fearful iniages. And fur
these atioeitibsn portion of the professed re

week gave the:Know-Nothing version of the
whole,: throwing the ; blame npon the poor for

against their brutal murderers; and the edit

to the enemies of his - countrymen ? How
elseuan we account.for his editorial course ?
There was a Judas and. an Arnold, shock

we had hoped would never.find a parallel;
