Vote the Whole Ticket!
Democrats should remember that the only
course to ensure success, is to
STICK TO THE TICKET!
Let the rallying cry to-day be—" THE
TICKET, the WHOLE TICKET, and noth
ing but THE TICKET," from top to bottom,
and all will be well.
Don't Scratch the Tleketl
Let every candidate upon the ticket be vo
ted for to-day. This is no time for scratching.
The Democracy of Lancaster county have it
in their power to elect their whole ticket. Wtt
respectfully urge them to do it. Let there be
no holding back—no lukewarmness--no
scratching of tickets ; but let every Democrat
vote and act as though the result of the elec
tion depended on his individual exertions. It
vtay 4o so.
Again we urge our friends to STICK TO
THE WHOLE TICKET.
Beware of Falsehoods I
Beware of the falsehoods of the enemy. All
sorts of fabrications will be set afloat at the
hist hour, for the purpose of injuring the
Democratic ticket, or some of the candidates
upon it. Follow Democrats! Place no con
fidence in any stories that you may hear. The
Know-Nothings will resort to any and every
thing, no matter how vile or base, to accom
plish their object. BEWARE OF. THEM.
To the Polls i To the Polls
Democrats)lo your whole duty TO-DAY
The time for argument has passed—the time
for voting is at hand. This day's• work will
ecide whether Pennsylvania is still the Key
stone of the Federal Arch—the friend of the
Constitution and Laws; or whether she has
resolved to succumb Lo the dark and malig
nant hordes of Abolitionism, Know-Nothing
ism, and every other ism which seeks the de
struction of all those things near and dear to the
people of our ancient and beloved Common
wealth.
We appeal to our Democratic 'friends in
Lancaster county, to do their whole duty TO
DAY. The times arc portentous., The Con
stitution is assailed at every point. Aboli
tionism, Know-Nothingism, and factions of
every hue and grade are plotting the destruc
tion of the . Government, and it becomes the
duty of every good citizen to resist by all the
means in his power the combinations that are
formed against it.
The hope of the Republic rests alone in the
Democratic party—a party which knows no
east, no west, no north, to south—a party
which recognizes the right of every citizen to
worship his Maker according to the dictates
of his own conscience, and whose leading
maxim is, "equal and exact justice to all
men," no matter where they are born, nor to
what church they belong.
Fellow Democrats ! Again we urge you to
the faithful and energetic discharge of your
whole duty, TO-DAY.
TO THE POLLS! TO THE POLLS!!
""Up Guards and At Them!
The day of victory is at hand, fellow Dem
ocrats of Lancaster County! For twenty
seven long years you have been kept down
and made "hewers of wood and draweni of
water"—but a brighter day is dawning upon
you. Be true to the cause TO DAY. Do
your whole duty willingly, zealously, man
fully ; and when the ballot-boxes are counted
off, the glad sound of VICTORY will greet
your ears.
You have the victory within your grasp,
ellow Democrat& Will you•not reach forth
r our hand and take the prize? ,
Another Trick of the Enemy I
We . have it from reliable authority, that
arge and flaming handbills will be distributed
; ver the county on the eve of the election—no
; oubt during the darkness of the night--an
ouncing that a fusion has been formed be
ween'the Whigs and the Democrats, and that
portion of both tickets have been withdrawn
or the , purpose of uniting upon one made up
.f both.
This is a base FALSEHOOD, manufactured
tof the whole cloth by our Know-Nothing
ppodents. It is a bare-faced LIE from be
inning to end, and is done for the purpose of
juring the Democratic ticket.
Beware of this base FALSEHOOD, fellow
emocrats, as well as every other from the
t ame mint of foul detraction and vilification.
Look well to your tickets, friends! . and see
hat the name of every Democratic candidate
l i s upon them from Canal Commissioner down
o Auditor. There are spurious and mixed
l ickets of every imaginable kind in circula
ion,l and it will be the duty of our active
lends throughout the county to be particu-
Hy careful that no deception be practieed
pon the unwary and unsuspecting. ,

Democratic Creed
Equal and exact justice to all men.
No proscription on account of birth-place or
religion.
Laws enacted in accordance with public
opinion.
The Constitution as it is.
Opposition to Know-Nothingism
Opposition to Abolitionism.
Opposition to Federalism, and every other
ism which comes in conflict with the great
principles of Democracy and the welfare of
the Republic.
Opposition Creed
KNOW-NOTIIINGISM, which seeks to proscribe
a man because he happened to be born in
some other land, or chooses to worship God ac
cording to the dictates of his own conscience.
ABOLITIONISM, which would elevate the ne
gro to an equality with the white native born,
and degrade the foreign born white man be
low the negro.
FEDERALISM, the twin sister of Abolitionism,
and which has been over and over again con
demned by the American people.
le— We ask the good people of Lancaster
county to choose between the two creeds. If
the Democratic is the best, choose it, and . vote
the Democratic ticket. If the Opposition creed
is the best, then choose it, and vote the Know-
Nothing ticket, which emblaces all the isms
of the Opposition party.
It is for you, fellow citizens, to determine
under what banner you will range yourselves
to-day.
Nicholson Repudiated I
The vote of this fusion Abolition K i rw-
Nothing candidate will be a slim one in an
caster county. The old line Constitutional
Whigs will not support him—nor can he get
all the Know-Nothing vote. Many of the
friends of Peter Martin are dissatisfied, and
they will carry that feeling to the ballot-box,
and make it tell -in favor of Mr. PLUMER, the
Democratic candidate. Neither the old line
Whigs nor all, of the Know-Nothings, can be
traded off and sold to the Abolitionists: The
:lose is two unpalatable for them to swallow.
Our friends abroad may expect to hear a good
account for PLUMES, in Lancaster county.
Pennsylvania must be Redeemed
From every part of the State we have the
most cheering accounts that the Democracy
aro in high hopes, and that we are sure of a
complete and TRIUMPHANT VICTORY.—
The opposition see the handwriting on the
wall, and they go into the contest with despair
written on their drooping standard. Demo
crats of Lancaster, come out and assist in
unhorsing the Black Knight of Know-Noth
ingism ! The Know-Nothing and Abolition
presses and their orators do not hesitate to say
that their prospects are gloomy in the extreme.
They are divided and broken into warring fac
tions in nearly every county in the State.-
-They cannot succeed if every Democrat does
his whole duty. Let the watchword be,
PENNSYLVANIA MUST BE REDEEMED.
Nicholson's Honesty!
The Lancaster Examiner says of Mr. Nich
olson :
"There was another reason why the Whig
Committee could not recommend Thomas
Nicholson to the support of the Whig voters
of Lancaster county. His antecedents are
not of the right character. It is well under
stood' that when a Clerk in the State Treasu
rer's Office, some five years ago, he drew the
salary appropriated by law for two clerks—the
business of the office allowing one clerk to be
dispensed with—but the pay was retained.—
In an office so important and peculiar as that
of Canal Commissioner, where temptabiott_be
sets the incumbent on every hand, a
opinion of
the Whig Committee, was not desirable, and
with his past history before them, they could
not recommend Mr. Nicholson to public sup
port."
What a capital candidate the Know-Noth
ings now have—a foreigner by birth, who is
attacked on the score of honesty by a leading
Whig paper of the State. Who would not
join the-Secret Order—its members are so hon
est and truthful?
Lies by the Wholesale.
If any citizen of Lancaster county wants to
have a complete surfeit of LIES, let him cast
his eye over the columns of the " Register and
Citizen," the Know-Nothing organ of this Ci
ty, of Friday last. It would be an insult to
the intelligence of the people of Lancaster
county, to (atm:apt a refutation of them. Some
lies are so palpable and outrageous, that they
carry their own refutation on their face.--
What will not Know-Ntiihingism resort to, to
prop up their sinking cause/

confederated Union, to the honor of our coun
try abroad, to its peace and prosperityaelonne,
or to that progressive physical and more
strength which has - given us our present na l
tionaj pos,ition,,. `l The response is, on record.—
That record has brought the blush to more
than one. American cheek abroad, and will for
some, time to pozTa,e4wEe our .countrymen i to
steel 1 - alnitieir When li ihall• - htipileri to - be re•
membered that they were the-sworn members
of such a crusade as the misnamed "American
Party."
What. have they done to 'strengthen our gra- ,
lions Union? They have in' their blind zeal
for office and power coMpletely amalgamated
and fraternized in many of the Northern
'States with the party known as Abolitionists,
a party, which of all others yot*known to be
more completely regardless of the value of the
Union, an' more vindictive in its sectional
prejudices. A party which has sworn -and
riblicly recorded its, traitorous oath, that be
fore Ktinsas shall be admitted as a slave State,
that party will be willing to see the Confeder
acy shivered to atoms. Can the "American
Party"—as they Style themselves—after such
a close affiliation with this factious and dan
gerous ism in the North, claim the respect
and confidence of the great American people?
What has this new party done for the hon
or of the country abroad ? It has proclaimed
to the civilized world a base libel upon our
land. It has furnished poison for the pCn of
the London Times and all the abolition Re
views in England, with - which to stab at our
Republic, which they very respectfully denom
inate an experiment of a wild democracy. It
has dishonored the noble feature in our early
history, wherein our fathers when they plant
ed the tree of liberty, invited the oppressed of
all nations to come and - live with us in peace
and brotherhood betes.th its spreading branch
es, and pronounced the soil which they bap
tised in their blood, the asylum of freedom.—
This party has furthermore falsified our coun
try abroad by pretending that all men of for
eign birth are unwelcome on our shores, and
that in this we are a selfish, exclusive, inhos.
pitable and ungenerous nation. What truly
American bosom does not swell with indigna
tion when he sees his country placed in this
false light among the people of foreign lands?
What have the Know-Nothings done for
our peace and prosperity at home? They
have made loud and high-sounding professions
of reform and purification in elections—and
at the same time have exasperated the hither
to quiet Germans at the polls, and have dis
graced the country by some of the bloodiest
and most disgraceful riots ever witnessed on
our soil. The scenes in Cincinnati and Chica
go are recorded and will long be remembered
as some of the.fruits borne by the self-styled
" American Party."
And as for the physical growth and prosper
ity of our country—the progress of our migh
ty Republic in her wonderful physical career,
these oath-bound societies have sought to cut
us off from that steady current of wealth
which has been flowing in upon the country
for many years in the form of manly labor,
which has transferred itself from the tilling of
the soil, the driving of the shuttle, or the del
ving in rich mineral, under the lash of tyran
ny to a land where labor is dignified by liber
ty and rewarded with plenty. They have
sought to freeze with a cold, inhospitable and
repulsive demeanor the hopes which had burn
ed in the bosom of Europe that one day the
land of Wiishington would receive into its ge
nial valleys the sons of toil who have too long
labored only to enrich the idle, and to pamper
the proud. They have libelled the Democra
cy of the country, when they knew that all
her glory and greatness had gathered under
its culture, and germinated and yielded fruit
under its guidance.
What has this party done for the purifica
tion of our political morals ? Has it promoted
among the people a sound and wholesome
sense of honor? Has it taught man a spirit
of tolerance and a love of equal rights ? Has
it sought to strengthen the respect of the peo
ple for the laws of the land and the lessons of
their ancestors? Has it taught the doctrine
that religion is a holy thing, which ought not
to be warped to the prejudices of partizan
ship in the affairs of State 1 Has it held up
before the youths and young men of our coun
try the doctrine that man may worship God
according to his conscience, and that in this
consists one of the corner stones of his true
liberty as a citizen? None of all these. On
the contrary they have corrupted the whole
atmosphere of the country, by impregnating it
with a dishonorable system of falsehood and
deception as regards the fact of its member
ships, and a degenerate and debasing spirit of
secrecy which shuns the open day, and teach
es a low and undeikband method of life to the
young and the inextierieneed. It has sought
to instil into the public mind a gross and un
warrantable feeling of religious intolerance by
proscribing to citizenship one religion for the
promotion of another, and proposing to' dis
franchise one class, and make them serfs un
der another. It has despised and trampled
:wider foot the teachings of the founders and
fathers of the country. It has sought to de
grade religion by making it a political qualifi
cation in one form, and a political disgrace in
another. It has endeavored to contaminate
the youthful mind of the country, by teaching
that a man cannot worship God as he sees fit,
and be a free citizen—thus seeking to subvert
the guaranty which our fathers gave to the
world, that this should forever be a feature of
American liberty.
These are the answers to the above interrog
atories—this is the tree of Know-Nothingism
—by its fruits shall it be known.
The Democratic party was planted on our
soil by the venerable Jefferson. He sowed
the seed when he penned the Declaration of
Independence. He expounded with wisdom
the doctrines of popular sovereignty, and with
his own hand engrafted them into the laws of
the land. The platform of the party as it now
stands in the record, is drawn from the fund
amental principles of free government as he
declared them, and the ascendency of the par
ty at the present day, can be traced to causes
which were-evolved from his patriotic labors.
That platform is before us, and before us too
stand on every page of our eventful political
history the traces of that wisdom which Jeffer
son manifested, and which Jackson employed
in his official acts on behalf of the people.—
Before us and around us are monuments of
the blessings which the Democrady have se
cured to the country. Ourunexampled growth
as a nation has been the direct result of Dem

The Democratic Party.
We recently said that the democratic p, .ty
rests its hope of future success upon the in -
ligence, wisdom and faixotitmti of the A ss
am people. We might hjile Atded - •
party can maintain'ep.*witlkit)tren.l.2 y
on any other ground. Ai the `people vet
the power in their °WO hands, 4td
rulers, they labor for thOilown, itdd ;..fji • ;C .
;is evident that any par, to maintain ep
manent ascendency in the country, must la tr
for the welfare of the Union. Thus we B.d
that the democratic party, having the inte is
of the whole - country - at beak, has ale. e
mainteined a pernitMent -
stood the test of time. While the democra *c
party has achieved seven presidential vie
Firs, thet - whigsp.vwachie s' ed two; and whititi
the former were triumph of democratic .
eiples, the latbTrlVeg tai*Plyilii, gratitude of
the.people to Indli who had fought` their hard
earned battles. No intelligenCiiiiig will iv : ,
some to say that the suceeis . Or Harrison,
1840, or of Taylor, in 18 . 48, was the trium - th
of whig prinaiples. Had General Harrism
never fought the battle of Tippees.noe, ror
Taylor won the laurels of the battle field ; nei
ther of them would ever have. been Lelectedito
the chief magistraey of the,Union.
As the democratic party has triumphed in
the past„. so will it in the future,. And wh n
we see the democratic party spoken of us a
thing of the past, or when it is asserted,
it continually is, that, "old party lines are b
'iterated," we love to call to mind its glorio s
triumphs in the past, and, contemplating that
past, rely upon a promising future. As tie
people have ever stood by the democratic par
ty, no other party can hope for permanent suc
cess. It may, and doubtless will, meet with
occasional reverses; but a defeat is, at timas,•
necessary tu,teach us the value of a svieterY ;
and whatever those reverses may .-be, come
what may, while the democratic party adheres
to its principles it will go on increasing In
strength and prosperity.
Seri have never known the time when t
Democratic party was called upon by high i
considerations to adhere, faithfully and ze.r.
ously, to their organization and their prinott•
pies, than they are l at this day. Our confed
eration is passing- through the most stymie
trial it has yet undergone. Unceasing effor
are making to excite hostile and section 1
feelings, against which we were prophetical!
warned by the father of his country; and
these are successful, the days of this Constit -
tion are numbered. The continued assault/3
upon the South, upon its oharacter, its consti
tutional rights and its institutions, and the
systematic perseverance and the hitter spirit
with which these are pursued, while they warn
the Democratic party of the danger, should
also incite it to united and vigorous action.
They warn it, too, that the tine has mai
when all other differences which may have diF
vided it should give way to the duty of de
fending the constitution, and when that grey
party, coeval with the government shouldib
united as one man for the accomplishment o
the work to which it is now called, and befor
it is too late. /t is the American party, for a
has no sectional preferences, and its care an
its efforts extend wherever the constitution o
its country extends, and with equal regard t
the rights and interests of all. I believe th
fate of this great republic is now in itslands,
and, so believing, I earnestly hope that its ao
tion will be firm, prompt and united, yielding
not one's hair breadth of its time-honored
principles, and resisting to the last the dank
gerous efforts with which we are menaced
and, if so, the victory of the constitution I
doubt not will be achieved. Lzwis,Cass.
"What is an Abolitionist?" '
Some'of the "fusion" Editors do not like t.
be called Abolitionists. They wince mule'
the appellation, and ask in affected ignoranc,
what it means. Mr. Chase, the present "fu,
sion" candidate for Governor of Ohio, pu '
the same question to HENRY CLAY, Whil:
writhing under the term. Mr. Clay's repl
was in the following words:
"Upon my word, if the Senator does nod
know what an Abolitionist means, when he
has practiced the doctrine for so many years
lam unable to instruct or inform him. Al
sorts of Abolitionists seem to act together
There are some more unblushing than others
there are some who call themselves minister
of God, who from their pulpits denounce th
Constitution of the Union, and denounce al
the States in which slavery exists.
There are two descriptions of persons con
stituting the great Abolition movement of the
country? If those who disavow extreme Abo
lition will, nevertheless, upon all questions
which arise iu Congress or in the country, ar
ray themselves on the side of the Abolitionists,
and co-operate with them and support meas
ures which they support, and if these men
are those whom alobe the Abolitionists will
support by their suffrages for offices, call them,
as you please, the result—the inevitable cons e-'
quences of the association—unless resisted by
the potency of the law and the power of pub
lic opinion, is dangerous to the Union itself."
11E2... The "Republican" Committee of Alio
ghany county havo determined to adhere to
the nomination of Passmore Williamson, and
to treat that of Nicholson as if it had not-been
made. The tickets have been printed with
Williamson's name at the head.
The "Republicans" of Alleghany do not
object to Nicholson because of his Abolition
ism—for in that they agree ; but they cannot
go for him because of his Know-Nothingism
and his identification with Simon Cameron.—
This is too strong a dose for their stomachs,
hence their determination to adhere to Wil
liamson who is not a Know-Nothing. -

On Thursday night,.Sept. 27th, only eleven
otit'of the twenty-five members appeared at
the meeting. Of these only four or five were
identified with the Republican movement.
They were immediately wriitSd. upon by; Le
muel Todd, Simon Cameron, and David -
Williams, who reprmented themselveit as a
snb-committee appointed by -the generally
committees of the thred parties, which con
ferred until near midnight without coming to
any conclusion, the avowed object 'being to
force the withdrawal of alll the nominees for
Canal Commissioner, and unite upon a • new
one.. A resolution was then adopted by the
conference committee, invitingall the connuit
tees to meet in joint assembly, for the purpose
of accomplishing such an union.
A 'determineprotest was putin at every
step by the undersigned' against the course of
those assuming to actin the name of thi Re
publican -party- The right of less than a
quorum of the committee to act in the premis
es, at all, was denied, as well as the partici
pacy, in such committee, of men who acknow
ledged themselves as not belonging to the Re-,
publican party ; and their power, even if they
were members in good faith of that party, to ,
take anyateps predicated upon the withdrawal
of the name of Passmoro Williamson without
his consent., was stoutly contested by 'several
of the committee.
In all this, however, we wore overruled and
out-voted ; and when the committees met to
gether,. throwing the management of the whole
affair into the hands of politicians hostile to
the Republican organization, several of us . with
drew from active partioipation in the doings
of the committee.

ANOTHER DEMOCRATIC 'VICTORY
On Monday the Bth inst. the election was
held in Georgia and resulted in a GLORIOUS
DEMOCRATIC VICTORY ! Sixty counties have
been heard from and they indicate that John
son, the Democratic candidate for Governor is
elected by from Bto 10,000 majority ! ! Hon.
A. H. Stephens, the Anti-Know-Nothing can
didate fur Congress is also elected, and the
probability is every Congressional district
has gone against the K.:N's,
Thus State after State is speaking out in
tones of thunder against the Dark Lantern
oligarchy. Last year they carried everything.
This year Maine, Illinois, Michigan, Virginia,
Tennessee, Alabama, Texas, Arkansas, Flori
da and Georgia, all have gone overwhelmingly
against the K. N's ; and barely one State,
Kentucky, has gone for them. And TO
DAY, patriotic Pennsylvania, the Key
stone State, will roll up not less than 20,01)0
majority in vindication of the Constitution and
of civil and religious liberty.
The Attempted Coalition
It is now rendered certain, that notwith
standing the eagerness of the Know-Nothings
to disguise their weakness by throwing Mar
tin from the track, and forming a fusion with
the `,‘Republicans," the scheme is not going
to be successful. We would rather have' seen
the combination effected ; for we feel satisfied
that Arnold Plumer could sweep the course
against any union that could be arrayed
against him. As the matter stands, now, it
is more than probable that he will have' a
majority over all other candidates together,
and certainly many thousands over any one
of thm.
It will be somewhat entertaining now to see
the Know-Nothing papers that were the first
to haul down the name of Peter Martin at the
dic,tation of a committee, reluctantly elevating .
it again to the head of their columns. What
a noble, independent press they make!
TILE FRYER, IN VIRGINIA.—BALTIMORE, Oct.
4.L—The boat from Norfolk brings intelligence
up to noon of yesterday. On Monday there
were 11 deaths; on Tuesday 7; and up to noon
on Wednesday only 1 was reported.
At Portsmouth, on Monday, there were
no deaths; on Tuesday 3 deaths occurred,
and on Wednesday none had been reported.
The most of the deaths were anions the
inmates of the Almshouse, and the colored
people. A few absentees have returned, and
are down with the fever.
Dr. H. Selden and R. Dalrymple are dead
SOLD.—The Know-Nothing party have been
transferral, body and breeches, to the Aboli
tionists. Peter Martin, tue nominee of the
Know-Nothings, had been a Democrat, and of
course he did not suit the schemers who con
trol the dark lantern party. They must have
an Abolitionist, and a man who had never vo
ted a Democratic ticket ; so they met in se
cret conclave at Harrisburg, a few -nights
since, and dropped Martin, like a hot potato,
and substituted in his steadMr.-.Thomas Nich
olson, of Beaver county, a rant. Abolitionist
and Know-Nothing, as their eirtolidate for Ca
nal Commissioner. The vote of the lodges,
nominating Martin, did not weigh a feather in
the balance—the. Big Gun of the order disap
proved and his name was stricken from the
roll. We congratulate the rank and file who
have been Democrats on the fact that they are
under the control of such trusty guardians—
men who know how to take care of them when
they are so silly as to, vote for a candidate
who has ever battled in the Democratic ranks !

LANCASTER YOUNG LADLES LNSTITUTE.—we are
pleased to hear of the florishing condition of this .no
portant Seminary. It commenced its present session
only a month ago with 7 teachers, yet such has been
the increase of pupils that the Principal has been
obliged to employ another teacher in the music de
partment—Miss Mary Frazer, a lady of much expe
rience and ability. The number of pupils is now
later than it ever was before at one time, and a fine
prospect dill exists of a large addition during the
present fall. It is the purpose of the Principal to in
crease the advantages of the Institute as rapidly as
the increase of the pupils will justify, and wo trust
the time is not far olf when this institute will be one
of the largest and most liberally patronized in the
State. Parents and Guardians who hive daughters
or wards to educate, may feel assured of finding here
all the advantages they may wish. Pupils of any
age from six years old and upwards are received,
and thorough instruction is given in all the branch
es of female education.
THE COUNSEL. OF AGE.—The following,
which we cut from a Tennesso paper, is a por
tion of a letter from a clergyman in Louis
ville, Ky., whose name is not given, written
to one of his flock :
"I am now in my 76th year, and have been
in the ministerial office a little upwards of a
half century. During the long course of my
ministry, ten years occupying the old home
stead, and upwards of forty in my present lo
cation, and under different phases of the po
litical atmosphere, I never saw it my duty, or
felt the slightest inclination to preach what is
generally called a political sermon.' And if
by one word or even insinuation froni the pul
pit, I ever disturbed or interrupted the feel
ings of a political hearer, I never knew it.
I never entered the electioneering canvass
for any man, even i?y most favorite political
friends. And when I thought proper to of
fer my suffrages at the polls, it was always
done by a silent vote, in an unobtrusive man
ner. Ido not know that I ever gained a vote
secretly or indirectly for any man. Indeed I
always , thought it unbecoming the gravity,
the dignity and sacredness of the pulpit, as
well us detrimental to the spiritual edification
of the people, for the ambassador of Heaven
to turn a.side from his master's work to min
gle with the multitude, where little else is to
be heard but wrangling and jangling about
men and measures, without any addition to,
but most certainly detracting from, the credit
and influence of his clerical character. Of all
the offices ever held by man, that of an ambas
sador of Christ is the mostkdignified and re
sponsible.
"No other post affords a place
Of equal honor or disgrace."
CITRAP FLOUR TUE BRST.—'-The Now York
Times has recently been discussing a question
of very great importance to the consumers of
flour, and the facts it has elicited should be
universally known. that little reli
ance is to be placed upon the brands found on
the barrels sold hi the market; and that the
words "extra• Genessee" do not always indi
cate that the barrel bearing them contains the
best quality of flour. It bases its assertion on
certain results elicited by chemists, viz ; that
the whiter the Flour the less nutriment ityes
sesses, and the Tess digestible it is. Dyspeptic
people have to use-bread about one 'fourth
bran, which proves that the dark part of the
grain is the most healthful. The Flour which
can be bought now for seven and eight dollars
per barrel is stronger and sweeter than the
"extra Genessee," but as it is less white it J is
generally rejected in favor of the dearer arti
cle. It is time that housekeepers understood
this fact, and, that they bought Flour not to
please the eye, but to gratify the stomach, and
at the same time have a respectful reference to
the capacity of one's pocket.
RUSSIAN VIEW OF AFFAIRS.-TllO Russian
paper, The Brussels Nord, says the resolution
of Prince Gortschakoff exhibits the energy of
a great commander. It saves Russia from an
inextricable position into which a false inter
pretation of a point of honor would have.
thrust her.
The Russian army concentrated - north of
Sebastopol will, henceforth, have that unity of

ThO Sebastopol of. the South is re
placed by Sebastopol of the North—a, formi
dable position, bustling with innumerable
guns, whiolt a compact army henceforward
will defend. Impartial history will do justice
to Prince Gortschakoff, who, by making a mo
mentarysacrific% and avoiding useless effusion
of blood, has preserved for Russia- an army
trained to War by a struggle of a year's dura-.
tion, and Placed that army in a position which
enables him to command the'Sitoation„ ,

The prokinged de rice of Sebastopol, a de

of entire lihrope. From its very outset' it
placed the delendeieif that city in the rank
