Our expenses are ne-, cessazily heavy, and we need money to keep us moving along. Will not those who know themselves indebted make an effort to square up their accounts, or, at least, pay us a part of what is justly our due? The approaching Courts will afford•many of our country friends an opportunity to call in person, or remit by their neighbors.

Bea first page for a very neat and per tinent Address on the subject of Education, by our young •friend, W. &EGER DARROW, of New Holland. We ask for it an attentive perusal. The Philadelphia Argus We observe that the Philadelphia Eve ning Argilt takes us to task, because of the comments with which we in troduced the letter of Col. Frazer in the last number of the Intelligencer. We are not surprised at this, because the Argus seems to exist only for the purpose of apologizing for a set of treacherous and dangerous men in the Democratic party, and not for the purpose of keeping the honest men of that party to_ gether. In the midst of Cameron's bargain ing with the. Know-Nothings and Abolition ists, the Argus was- comparatively silent, and when the infamous Kirkpatrick letter made its appearance in the Pennsylvanian, fasten. ing upon Cameron all that had been charged upon him, and more too, the Argus treated him as tenderly as if that had been but a yen_ ial offence against the Den irratic party. The whole course of the Philadelphia Ar go, in reference to Cameron, has been of this oharaeter, and now we have it showing a sim ilar dispositioa in regard to Col. Frazer. It copies his Perry County letter, and proceeds to defend him as a man "who has done more hard work in the advocacy of Democratic prin ciples than any other man between the Dela ware and Ohio line," and all this for love of the principles and without reward. But, in order to make this praise look consistent, it carefully excludes the facts stated by us last week, which, for the benefit of the Argus, we • • 1 here repeat : A Singular loiter. - We find the following epistle in the last ”umber of the Perry Co. Democrat. What he motive for publishing it at this late 'period is, we do not know. But let that be as it may -e think it nothing but fair, in connexion tith the letter, to give the writer's glorifica ion speech at the Whig and Knoto-Nothing Head Quarters, in this City, on the night of k i the election in 1854. The speech was care ully reported by a gentleman who was pres ent.at the time, and may be relied upon as 'strictly correct in every particular. How the sentiments of the speech coincide with the dec laration of the letter f that our duty is to ad • ere to its [the Democratic party's] regular nominations, and to support citizens for office • 'thout regard to birth-place, or religious o pinions," (taken in connection with the fact that the speaker and writer opposed Judge Campbell's election in 1851, MajorHambright for the Mayorality in 1852, Governor Bigler in 1854, and supported the whole Know-Noth ing County Ticket the same year, and then to clap the climax, was actively engaged in elec tioneering for Simon Cameron, the know-Noth ing Abolition candidate for 13. S. Senator, at the last session of the Legislature,) it will be for our readers to judge. If the Argus had stated these facts, or pub lished the Know-Nothing speeh of Col. Fra ser, its readers might then hive understood its course a little better than they do ; but it goes back to the time, years ago, when the Col. did act with the Democratic party, and not only overlooks all his continued subsequent offences, but abuses the Lancaster Intelligencer because it has spoken of him in the terms he deserves tin account of these offences. We understand that this Argus newspaper is a perfect receptacle of patronage of the Gen eral Government, and that there are some live or six of its attaches holding office under . President Pierce. We know not how this is exactly, but it seems to us strange, if this is the fact, that its- course should be in such ex act accordance with that of the disorganizers who have lately been thrashed out of the Dem ocratic party. Now as to Col. Frazer, whom it so valiantly defends, there is nothing in the vocabulary of bitterness that he does not em ploy against President Pierce and the noble policy of his administration ;—so with Simon Cameron, whom the 'Argus refused to expose to the people. While the rest of the Demo cratic papers through the State stand by the policy of the President heartily and zealously, and all this without expectation of fee or re_ ward, the only paper in the StUte which may be said to have been loaded with Administra tion patronage, stands in the attitude of an apologist for traitors and a defender of disor ganizing and disappointed deinagogues—in a word, as the organ of the worst foes of our patriotic President! EVOLL before the last election, this same Argus came out in denun ciation of the anticipated nomination of the venerable Arnold Plumer, and in the midst of the canvass in Philadelphiait attacked a high ly respeoable portion of the Protestant adopt ed citizens for marching in procession through the streets of that City. We certainly do not .elieve that President Pierce and Judge Camp •ell are aware that a newspaper so liberally supported under the General Adininistration, l occupies the position of being utterly useless" to the Democratic party, and of being a sort of reflex of the hostilities and the malignities lof detected traitors. As to the desire of the Argus not to meddle n onr."Lancaster quarrels," we have this on yto say, that ever since Col. Frazer has left he Democratic party, and ever since Cameron as been exposed, the Democratic party here as advanced in numbers and strength. At to period in our history have we been so uni as at the present day. Whether this is ause of the "quarrels" in our ranks, or not, e leave otheik to say. We quarrel with no y who supports the Democratic party in ood faith ; but it is somewhat difficult-we onfess, to maintain our organization and to moorage good men to join the Democratic party, when professing Democratic papers Ouse the confidence of an honest Administra- ;on which has clothed them with power, by xcusing bad men and assailing those who ad onish the Democracy against their betray- We respectfully ask the Pennsylvanian to ay this artiole before the Democracy of Phil • .elphia. M.. Jadge BURR LL, of the Westmoreland tidicial District, has resigned, 'and intends to roeeed at once to Kansas, to enter upon the cities of Judge of the Supreme Court of that Territory, to whieh position he was recently appointed by President PIERCE. Judge Bur 11.'s vamigi position will, of coarse, be filled i some Know-Nothing disciple of Blackstone. Pararourrui.—The Washington, (Pa.) " eekly Review has broken ground ih favor 1.• . Rnehanan for the Presidency, i Heap Frazer. This gentleman, for whom personally we have the kindliest feelings, is belaboring 1111 at a round rate, se we understand, for our marks last week respecting his Bloomfield 10- 4be-- We have not -Understood, however, that he attempts a denial of the record of his aposta cy.whicli we brought up in judgment against him, and which we might have amplified with other acts of delinquency in the last five years. This he will hardly do, as the proof is tod strong against him, Imelda own acts, known to thousands all over the State, are his certain condemnation. By his course, (and we are sorry that he took it,) he has completely iden tified himself with Cameron, Morehead, Wil mot, Snodgrass, and others of the Know-Noth ing stripe, and must take the consequences re sulting from'his connexion with such traitors to the cause of Democracy. A man is always known by the company he keeps, and will be held responsible therefor at the bar of public opinion, no matter what his pretensions may be, or how many, letters he may write to per sons at a distance. Had his Bloomfield letter been written in the ordinary way, in answer to an invitation from political friends, we should not have said a word; but when, in that epistle, the Col. at tempted a justification of his treacherous course, and insinuated that he had been mis represented, &c., by those who were opposed to his political conduct, at home, it became necessary for us to meet the issue, and expose the conduct of the man is its true light. The work is an unpleasant one to our feelings— but, nevertheless, it is a duty from which we shall not shrink. We charged him with op posing Judge Campbell's election in 1851— with opposing Major Hambright's election in 1852—and with opposing Governor Bigler's election in 1854. We also charged him with advocating and voting for the Know-Nothing County Ticket the same year, and making a speech at the Know-Nothing Head Quarters, in this city, on the night of the election, re joicing over the defeat of the Democratic party —and we gave his speech upon the occasion, reported by a competent gentleman who is willing any moment to make oath to its cor rectness and truthfulness. We might also have added that he was more than suspected, in 1851, of opposing the election of Judge Lewis, the present Chief Justice of the Su preme Court—that he is the offensive and con stant reviler of President Pierce and his ad ministration—and we did add, what every body who was at Harrisburg last winter knows to be true, that he supported Simon Cameron Si U. S. Senator, not only when he knew he was the candidate of the Secret Or der and a member of it, but after the publica tion of the infamous Kirkpatrick letter, in which Cameron pledged himself to the worst doctrines of the Abolitionists and Know-Noth ings; and this support of Cameron by Frazer was manifested by his almost daily presence and importunities at Harrisburg during the contest. We stated these facts as an offset to his at temp,edjustification of his political course, in his Bloomfield letter, and to show that his present political degradation is of his own seeking, and not through any fault of the Democratic party with whom he formerly act ed.. We were willing, as we stated a few weeks ago, to "let bygones be bygones," so far as all true-hearted Democrats are concern ed, no matter what may have been their pref erences for men ; but wo are not willing to stand tamely by and see the worst kind of dis organiiation and treachery attempt ajtistifica tion of itself at l the expense of the good old Democratic party with which we have been so long and so intimately identified. If Col. Frazer will come back and conduct himself modestly and properly for a few years, he may again he recognized as a Democrat—but he must at once abandon Simon Cameron and write no more letters such as he wrote to Per ry county. A man, occupying the political standing he once did in this County and State, cannot desert the Democratic party, and tram ple under foot all its lime -honored customs and usages—abuse and malign its public men, and be found time and again acting in concert with its open and treacherous foes—with Ste vens, and Cameron, and Wilmot, and their al lies—and then boldly and unblushingly at tempt to palm himself off as a better Demo crat than those who were always true to the party, its principles, and its men. lie should not•be permitted, at least, to do so with impu nity; nor will he be by the Democracy of Lan caster county who know the man, and have repeatedly put the broad seal of condemna tion upon his conduct. Result of the Recent Elections The result of the recent elections may be summed up as follows: . NEW YORK, as was anticipated, has gone fur the Know-Nothings by a large plurality over the Fuimicket, the next highest. NEW J E RM has gone strongly for the Democrats MARYLAND has caved in to the Know- Nothings. Rather an unexpected result.— Five of the six Congressmen aro Nichts•Wis- WISCONSIN has been carried by the Dem- LOUISIANA has been captured by the Know Nothings, by a small majority?' MASSACHUSETTS has gone Know Noth ing by a large plurality over the Democrats— as a matter of course. The smoke has not yet sufficiently cleared off to give the details. Next week we shall be able to give some of the particulars. rtgl. The EASTON DAILY EXPRESS, is the ti tle of an interesting little paper just started at Easton Pa., by Messrs.

BAZLEY, Esq., of Philadelphia, but at present a temporary resident of Litiz, in this county, for a copy of a pamphlet written by himself entitled " Emigration, Emigrants, and Know- Nothings."

Mississippi Election The Democrats have elected their State ticket by 5000 majority—also, all the mem bers of Congress, and about two-thirds of the Legislature. A pretty clean sweep. M.. The Belfast (Maine) Republican Jour nal, is favorable to Mr. Bucrumar's nomina tion for the Presidenoy. Thoiliss-nehalson-...A - Ddiretopziutnt.l_ The Pittsburg Gazette, with a view of justi fying itself to its Whig friends, for oppoiing Thomas Nicholson, presents the,- - rollikving facts: Among those who thought it necessary to all our statements in question about the dis reputable manner of. Mr. Nicholson's nomina tion, was Dr. Reed, of Washingtoti. We will not stop, now, to blame him for the discourte sy shown in the method of hit; contradiction ; but letting that pass as unintentional, we in vite his earnest attention to the following ex tract from a speech made by Mr. Lewis C. Le vin, of Philadelphia, at the "American" meet ing in New York on Wednesday night of last week. Mr., Levin, after a few introductory remarks, proceeded to enumerate the causes of the late defeat in Pennsylvania, and said: " Our candidate for Canal Commissioner was taken up, (Mr. Martin,) and within nine days of the election the political tricksters withdrew him. A few irresponsible individu als met at Harrisburg, without any authority from any source, expressed or implied, and substituted Mr. Thomas Nicholson. The par ty making this change professed to represent the American, the Republican, and the out side Whig parties. The effect of this was to convulse the entire State. The base and un principled purpose stood revealed. The object was to claim the triumph which was anticipa ted, as a Republican triumph. But even that plot failed. A distinguished gentleman from the interior of the State, who had held a high post, and who is, I trust, still destined to hold a still higher one, determined, if possible, to save the party from the meshes of the conspi rators, and on the evening of the sth of Octo ber addressed a letter to Mr. Nicholson, in which he asked—First. Are you a member of the American party? Secondly. Do you recognize the principles of that party as pri mary and paramount ? Thirdly. Are you opposed to the introduction of every "ism" into the American organization which might place you, as its standard bearer, in a doubt pul position ? On the morning of the sth, (four days only before the election,) the follow ing telegraphic dhspatch was received by the gentleman referred to. II risburg, October 5, 1555 .Sts—.l have replied to tall your Interrogatories in the affirmative. 1 have sent you a message to that etteet, directed to the Washington House. _ This response, and thin only, gave Mr. Nicholson his twenty-five thousand votes in the City of Philadelphia, and if the fact could have been communicated to the entire State, his election would have been certain." We are not informed who this distinguished gentleman from the interior is, but although it would not probably be hard to guess, it is not material. The main point is, that Mr. Nicholson was asked, distinctly -Ist. Are you a member of the "American" Order ? 2d. Do you recognize its peculiar princi ples as primary and paramount? and 3d. Are you opposed to all "isms" that might place you, as its standard bearer, in a doubtful position? And all these questions Mr. Nicholson an swered in the affirmative. Now, ono of the two things is certain. If Mr. Nicholson made this answer to these ques tions, then lie most grossly deceived Dr. Reed, to whom he denied being a member of the Or der, and the others who, on Dr. Reed's repre sentation, were entrapped into his nomination; or if heidid not make it, then Mr. Levin is guilty of forgery and fraud. The last is hard ly supposable. A public speech, on such an occasion, does not afford au opportunity for re sorting to, such a step, and Mr. Levin had no temptation to the commission of it. We are almost shut up to the conclusion, therefore, that he stated what was strictly true. It seems likely, from what Mr. Levin says, that the letter to Mr. Nicholson and the answer to it were private, intended only for circulation within the secret circle of the Order, and that Mr. Nicholson owes his vote to the pledges thus secretly given. For the publication of the secret, if it was one, Mr. Levin is alone responsible. We felt satisfied, front the beginning, that Mr. Nicholson was a member of the Order, and that he re g arded its peculiar principles as paramount to all else, and that, had it not been, so, he could not have obtained the nomination. We therefore opposes him, and now we have found oar justification. his denial of mem bership ; his professions of devotion to Repub lican principles ; and his retention of a scat in the Republican State Committee, viewed in the light of his present acknowledged position. all showed him to be a dishonest and dishon orable man ; and although the evidence of all this was not so apparent then as now, it was sufficiently plain to us to warrant us in refus ing him our support. Had he boldly pro claimed, then, what he has since privately ad mitted, we could have yielded him respect, as we . )lo all candid and honorable opponents ; but a skulking, false and treacherous adversa ry, who fraudulently palms himself off as a friend, is, of all other men, the most contempt. ible and loathsome. The anti-Nebraska men of the State were asked to support him as Me anti-Nebraska candidate, presented upon the anti-Nebraska issue alone: yet, while thus publicly pressed, he was privately assuring a secret party that he was its standard bearer, committed to its specialists as paramount, and opposed to all the "isms" (such as Republi canism) which might in any way conflict with the "American ' organization ! This was "fusion" with a vengence ! It needed but this chapter ti} complete the history of the Harrisburg swindle. That dis reputable affair now stands revealed in all its 'naked deformity. We feel thankful that our hands are clean of it ; and we can only ask of those who were ungenerous enough to abuse us for discarding it, to reconsider their verdict in the light of the facts that have just been disclosed. The "Jug Law" hi Chester County At the Court last week in Chester . county, several tavern keepers were brought up for selling liquor contrary to law. We clip the following notice of the result of the prosecu tions front the "Jeffersonian:" LIQUOR CASES.—James Ellis, charged with selling liquor without license. Bill ignored and county fur costs.

Mr. Buchanan transmits the final answer of the British Government on the Central Amer ican negotiation. Our ultimatum is rejected and correspondence is closed. Both govern ments are released from the Clayton and Bul wer treaty, Great Britain retaining her colo nies and protectorate,. and we withdrawing our anti-annexation clause. Assurances, howeve of peaceful views are unchanged. n. The Tuscarora Register, the orgy n of the Democracy of Juniatta Co., has play. , ed the name of Mr. BUCHANA.N at its rnast-ho ad for the Presidency, and accompanies the act with an able and lengthy article strongly advocat ing his nomination. - seirThe town of Buchanan„ In Upshur County, Va., was almost totally destroyed by fire, on Saturday the 27th ultimo.

Mr. Slidell, the United States Senato from Louisiana, in replying to an invitation to be present at a Democratic festival at Bal timore, thus shows up the inconsistency If Know-Nothingism: " Look at Massachusetts: there abolition , ism, religious persecution, and the most gal ling system of social espionage and despotism, under the garb of temperance,go hand" in hand. From the pulpits , of the meek and persuasive tones of Christian pastors, in. culcating the pure and unpretending morality of the Gospel, peace on earth and good will towards men, are hurled the defiant and angry denunciations of wily demagogues and excited partizans. May God long avert the day when the monstrous combination of the politician and priest, whether Protestant or Catholic, shall find favor with the masses of the American people! There the 1,100 anti- Nebraska preachers' thunder forth. their ana themas against the abominations of the lewd woman of Babylon, the type of the Scarlet Prostitute of Rome. But what say their affi liated lodges in Louisiana, where Catholic form so large a constituency ? They 'roar you as gently as sucking doves.' 'rhere, for sooth, opposition to Catholicism is no part of the know-nothing creed. They assert boldly, and attempt to prove, that religious proscrip tion is not one of the watchvfords of their der. They appeal to their ticket, and point complacently to their Catholic candidates for governor, lieutenant governor, and treasurer rk,s conclusive refutation of the baseless slander.l' Thus it seems that whilst the Hindoos of Massachusetts appoint boorish comwittees tp ransack the apartments in Catholic female seminaries, and insult the lady teachers, their brethren of Louisiana select Catholics as thei4 candidates for the highest offices in the State and why ? , because a majority of the people 4f Louisiana are Catholics, and they wish to 4- cure their votes !

The Doctor describes, with a power that thrills to our very heart, and moistens the eyes of oven the strong man, however unused to the melting mood, scenes that he himself saw in the luxurious homeS, and at the canopied couch of the rich and the purse proud, when the cherished ones are struck down by the inexorable destroyer—" Pallida more sequa pe de pulsat pauperism tabernas rcgumquo turres."-:- Likewise in the lowly cottage of the poor, and at his humble bedside, our friend, the Doctor, is over tit his post, and, like a ministering angel, ever ready to soothe their sufferings, and smooth, it may be, their passage to the grave; and touching, too touching, are his descriptions of what he saw there. in addition to the Scenes, are several articles on health, written in a popular manner, each of which is alone worth the price of the book. And we par ticularly recommend to mothers the Treatises on Scarlet Fever, llooping Cough, Croup, Consumption &c., as presenting to all, in a clear and lucid man ner, the proper treatment of these common diseases. It is especially a home-book, affording both amusement and instruction, and should be in the hands of every parent in the land.

The arguement of this important volume has ofted been incidentally alluded to in the controversy on the Deity of Christ, but so far as we know, this is th first work in which in a severally logical and philo.. phicalmannerit has been traced out in all its bearin .., until the materials in the bands of the author a found to he so manifest and strong that the ouraula-I, tive cbaracuer of the proof is seen to bo irresistible:, Mr, Young takes the New Testament merely as an atedent volume, For the sake of argument be casts aside inspiration and miracles, and taking merely, the life of Jesus as a simple record of fects,he analy ses his character, and by a chain of demonstrations points out the fact that nothing but au incarnation of the Deity dwelling in the man, Christ Jesus,cad account for the attributes and phases of his clarac, ter. This is not an ordinary specimen of book mak ing. The work has deservedly made a favorable impression in London, where it is lauded in quarters that are satisfied with nothing which is not massive and substantial.

The "Sound" is a narrow Strait lying between the Islands of Zetland, belong s% to the Danes, and the Swedish coati .and gives entrance to the Baltic sea. The fo tress of Cronburg',Oastle• command the p . ge, and exacts a payment 'from all vessels nter "big the Baltic, the ships Of Denmark h rself t .have to pay, es well as fureign tonnage. The origin of this exaction is that in ancient inies Denmark undertook to build and sustain! cer tain light houses alon,,r , the coast, fur which the Hansetowns agreed to pay toll. - j England, France, Holland and Sweden pay one per cent on all cargos entering the Baltic. Other countries, including the United States, one and a quarter per cent.; even Danish ships are taxed at this rate. In the year 1e126 a treaty recognising the duty, was cone uded between the United States and Denmark. This treaty, however, according to one ()Litetitipu lations may be dissolved by either 61 the, par ties, provided they give one year's notice of theirintention. I During the Presidency of John Tyler,l our government determined to put a forcib end to this imposition. Mr Upshur, the Sectary of State, fitted out a fleet of merchantmen and vessels of war, under Commodore Steivart, which he designed should force its way into the Baltic and thus at once rid the Ulnited States of the Sound duties. Mr. Upshur' sud den death, however, by the explosion !of a cannon, just as the fleet was ready to start, de layed the expedition and it was abandlmed. Other attempts were made to abolish thiS tax. While Denmark was at war with Schleswig Holsten, Mr. Flenniken, the U. States!Min ister, offered on the part of his government to pay Denmark $230,000 for a ten years suspen- I sion of the dues : his recall prevented the . proposal coming to a head. Finally, op the 12th of April last, the United States notified , the Danish government of their intention to cease paying the Sound duties, and the' stip ulation of 'the treaty will expire next spring. Should no amicable arrangemerlt of the ques tion he arrived lit in the meanwhile, we may then expect to see our vessels passing the Sound under warlike convoy. The Danes are much alarmed on the: sub ject, and fear the United States will seize:opete their West Indian possessions, the Islands iif St. Thomas and St. Croix.—l?ichatond ,En:/. THE CANAL.

NEW AND DANGEROUS COUNTERFEIT.-,—SOV oral persons have been arrested in Philadel phia, for attempting to pass counterfeit $5 notes on the Mechanics' Bank of Philadelphia. These spurious notes are so well executed us to be liable to deceive the best judges of 'paper money: but mkt , be detected by two or (three imperfections about them. Most prominent among these defects is the margin. In the genuine notes a fine line runs beneath the be der very close to the latter the line is drawn with mathematical precision, and is very close to tlcedoorder. In the imitation, the lino is farther front the margin, and is, Moreover not precisely'straight, The vignette in th spu rious note is slightly blurred, as in the word " Bank," where it occurs in German t st in the body of the note. In the genuine note, in the view of the banking house at the skid of the plate there is a fine line which runs along on a line with the cups of the columns imme diately under the architrave. This lino is blurred over in the counterfeit, or is entirely wanting. THE BRITISH NAVAL. MOVEMENT.—WS learn from the Pittsburg Journal that an English gentleman residing in that city has received by the last steamer from England a letter from a distinguished admiral in the British Navy, which, under the date of October Bth, says: "For what reasons I know not, several ships of the Baltic fleet aro ordered to Bermu da and Jamaica,' which looks like squally weather to the westward. It may he, howev er' only to keep the crews in good health un til the coming spring." This corroborates the statements we have already published, and at the same time shows how it is regarded in the British navy. The suggestion that it is only to keep the crews in good health until the coming spring is said to be the explanation,. given by authority, to the government at Washington. Lisbon is said to be thmsual rendezvous for that pur pose, but as Important political purposes may be afoot in the West Indies, the health of the squadron serves as an excuse for the present movement. Professor TIFFANY, of Dickison College, is to deliver a lecture in Fulton Hall to-Morrow evening. As the lecture is not to be a apolit ical one, either in the subject, mode of ;treat ment, or tendency—so he assures us—we shall be pleased to see him have a full house'' upon the occasion. It will doubtless be an intellec tual effort of no common order, as all will ad mit that the Professor has the talents and elo quence necessary to do full justice to his subject, whatever it may be, ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION.—The first an niversary of the Young Men's Christiab As sociation will be held in first M.
