CIRCULATION, 9100 COPIES I
thommurnort Pam, $2,00 per annum.
During the seven years and over that we
have been the proprietor of the Lancaster In
telligencer, we have devoted all our energies
in the cause of Democracy, and the paper has
gradually been increasing in circulation and
influence. But still there is plenty of room
on our subscription list for a large accession
of new names. The county of Lancaster is
no; in a fair way of becoming Democratic.—
At the Presidential election on the 4th ultimo,
we pulled 8731 votes, and yet there is scarcely
one-fourth of this number who take the In
telligencer, or perhaps any other Democratic
paper—some, however, will borrow it of their
neighbors and read it regularly: Many prom
inent Democrats do not take a county paper.
Some complain that our price, $2 per annum,
is too high. They say they can get weeklies
from Philadelphia, fur $l. So they can—and
those who furnish them at that price make
more money at $1 than we can at $2, for the
reason that they lire made up from the matter
of the dailies almost entirely, and are there
fore almost all clear profit. If it were not for
using their matter in the weekly issue, it
would have to be distributed and set over
again—but it is thus saved and made to pay
twice. A country paper, of the size of the
Intelligeucer, that depends upon local support,
and they all have necessarily to du au, cannot
be afforded at a price less than $2. A coun •
try editor, es the West llinwor Republican
very justly observes, toils along his weary,
tread-mill way from week to week, from
month to month, and from year to year, and
after all his labor, and his difficulty in " mak
ing both ends meet," some close-fisted custo
mer will come in and chaffer and dispute fur
an hour about the little pittance that he re
ceives for his hard labor. Two dollars this
customer thinks is too much—a dollar and a
half is all he can afford, for wheat is only
$1,75, and pork only $9, and beef only $l2
and groceries and every thing else in propor
tion)Nothwithstauding all this, $2 a year
is considered by such a customer too high to
pay for a paper that comes to his door fifty
two times in every year
Such is our experience, and the experience
of every man who has ever been connected
with the publication, of a country paper.
Canal Commissioners' Appointments
HARRISBURG, Nov. 24.—Tie following addi
tional appointments have been made by the
Board of Canal Commissioners :
Superintendent of Portage Railroad—James
Bryden.
Supervisors—John Gadd, Upper Juniata;
Henry A. Boggs, Upper Western; Win. Elliot,
Susquehanna.
Collectors—Cyrus Carmony, Lancaster; Jo
seph B. Deis, Dunenburg.
Cargo Inspector—Jacob DeYoung, Bristol.
bar We congratulate our friend, Out. CAR
MONY, on his reappointment to the Collector
ship. It gives abundant evidence of the high
estimation in which he is held by the Board
of Canal Commissioners, as a competent, faith
ful and obliging public ~fficer.
Meeting of Congress
The second session of the Thirty-Fourth
Congress commenced, at Washington, on
yesterday. The President's Message (the last
annual communication of President PIERCE ' )
will be sent in to-day, and we will give it to
the readers of the Intelligencer in our next
issue.
As the Bilk Republicans have a majority
in the House of Representatives, and as their
power will cease on the 3d of March, when the
session will end by constitutional limit, we
suppose they will endeavor to do all the harm
they can during their brief tenure of office,
and throw as many difficulties as possible in
the way of the out-going and in-coming Ad
ministrations. Fortunately, however, if they
will do no good, they are nearly powerless for
evil—inasmuch as the Democracy have the
Senate and the Executive to arrest any dan
gerous legislation on the part of the House.
The country is, therefore, safe—and when
President BucnaNAN takes hold of the reins
4t Government on the Fourth of March, the
people have provided in advance that he will
be sustained by a Democratic House as well
as Senate, and that all the departments of the
Government will then move forward in union
and harmony.
We shall endeavor to keep our readers ad
vised of the sayings and doings of this expir
ing sectional Congress—hoping that we may
never be necessitated to look upon its like
again.
CALIFORNIA FOR IWCHANAN!
Late and Interesting News
The steamer Illinois arrived at New York
on Saturday, with San Francisco dates to the
sth of November. She brought $2,000,000 in
gold, mostly consigned as follows:
Drexel & Co., $3_85,000
Wells, Fargo & Co., 560,000
Metropolitan Bank, 200,000
Howland & Aspinwall, 130,000

CALIFORNIA FOR BUCHANAN!
By papers and letters, it appears that Cali
fornia has gone for Mr. BUCHANAN, by a ma
jority of from 8 to 10,000 over Fillmore his
principal competitor. The vote for Mr. BC
CHA.NAN will probably exceed the united vote
of Fillmore and Fremont in the State.
The Indians are still troublesome in Cali
fornia, several skirmishes having recently
occurred between them -and the whites on
the Klamath River, and near the Bald
Mountain.
The Electoral College
The Twenty-seven gentlemen composing the
Democratic Electoral College will meet at
Harrisburg, on to-morrow, (it being the first
Wednesday in December,) and cast their votes
for JAMES BUCHANAN and JOHN C. BRECKIN
RIDGE.
It is understood that the Electors have
accepted an invitation from Mr. BUCHANAN to
either dine or take tea with him, at Wheatland,
on Thursday or Friday.
Judge Strickland
This gentleman will be brought before the
next Democratic State Convention, as a can
didate for the office of Canal Commissioner.—
Judge S. is one of the most prominent and
orthodox Democrats in Eastern Pennsylvania
—he has every qualification necessary to fill
that important post—be is a man of talent—
honest and capable—and as such would fill
the position, for which he has been named,
with unusual ability.
There will, of course, be other good and
true men before . the Convention—and we trust
if the mantle does not fall on Judge S., it will
fall upon one equally as worthy.
Col. Wilson Itl'Candlus■
We had a pleasant visit in our sanctum, on
Saturday afternoon, from this eloquent and
accomplished Democrat, on his way to Phila
delphfa. He is one of the Senatorial electors,
and will return to Harrisburg • to-day, for
the purpose of discharging his duty in the
Electoral College. The Col. is a first-rate
man, and we hope to see still higher honors
conferred upon him than any he has heretofore
The Vote of New England.
Our Black Republican oontemporaries are
boasting about the electoral vote of New Eng
land having been oast solid for Col. FREMONT,
and make the allegation that each had never
before been the result of a Presidential elec
tion there, except in the case of Gen. WASH
INGTON. Let us locket this for a moment, and
see whether or not the large majorities for the
Black Republican candidate are so complimen
tary after all to the " Pathfinder of the Rocky
M. , untains."
In 1796, when THOMAS JEFFERSON and JOHN
ADAMS were rival candidates for the Presi
dency, the latter received the unanimous elec
toral vote of the Niltitgland States : and in
1800, the entire electoral vote of this same
section was again cast against Mr. JEFFERSON.
The whole of New England. with the single
exception of Vermont, voted against JAMES
MADISON in 1808 and 1812. Massachusetts
and Connecticut voted against JAMES MONROE
in 1816. The unanimous vote of New Eng-
land was thrown against Gen. JACKSON in " Although I had laid down as a law to

A Premature •uutouneemaut,
Octe. CASS: It will be seen by a telegraphic dispatch re
ceived to-day, that our statement of Gen. Casa being ten
dered the office of Secretary of State under the new admin
istration is probably confirmed. We never had any doubt
that be would be the man.
/WY - We clip the above paragraph from the
Evening Express of Friday—merely for the
purpose of saying that both it and the New
York Tribune, which it gives as authority, are
mistaken. Neither Gen. Cass or any body
else has yet been offered the post of Secretary
of State by Mr. BUCHANAN, nor has he to this
hour, we have the best reason for saying,
made up his mind with regard to a single
member of his Cabinet. Were it otherwise,
it is not at all probable that the selection
would be known to the public—much less to
such a personage as Horace Greely, of the
Tribune.
The President elect, as we stated two weeks
ago, keeps his own counsels on the subject of
his Cabinet, and has not made known his
mind to even his most intimate friends—
therefore, all these stories about certain gen
tlemen being tendered Cabinet appointments,
must be taken as the mere coinage of the
brain of those who would be considered over
much wise among their fellows of the Black
Republican school.
Whether, in completing his Cabinet, the
President elect will tender the State Depart
ment to Gen. CAss, is more than we pretend
to know—but this much we do aver, that the
offer has not yet been made.
Black Republican Consistency
The American people have been entertained
for the last twelve or eighteen months, - says
the Pehnsylvanian, with a constant repetition
of terrible outbursts of Black Republican
indignation about . Kansas and Sumner.—
Bleeding Kansas" and bleeding Sumner
have been held up td our gaze in season and
out of season, day after day, and month after
month. Their whole vocabulary of denuncia
tion has been ransacked and its billingsgate
expletives showered with unceasing industry
upon the Democratic party, for its alleged
complicity with the occurrences dwelt upon.
Now, within the last few .weeks the Balti
more election has occurred, where, we may
say nearly if- not quite as many people were
killed or wounded as in Kansas Territory since
its organization, fur no other provocation than
an attempt td exercise the right of suffrage.—
And Kenneth Raynor, q Black Republican
ally in North Carolina, has brutally attacked,
with a bludgeon, a Democratic editor because
he commented in fitting terms upon Raynor's
political course.
We have looked in vain for the howlings of
the Freedom shriekers over these occurrences.
The pens once so busy with alleged Kansas
outrages, have scarce been used to utter a word
of condemnation against the Baltimore out
rages. And we have not yet seen a single
Black Republican comment upon the gross
attempt of their man Raynor to crush out the
freedom of the press, by assaulting an editor!
When it suits their purposes, they can make
the earth 'Vocal with their shrieks about guard
ing the ballot-box, brutal assaults, free speech,
a free press, &c., but when those whose co
operation they desire or possess, are guilty of
acts quite as reprehensible as those they have
so loudly condemned, they are silent as the
grave.

Several of our contemporaries are very much
exercised about Mr. BccnAsrAN's view. and
intentions with regard to the question. of Sla
very, and whether or not he will endeavor to
shape the course of things in Kansas for or
against slavery. We had supposed that the
line of policy laid down in his letter of accept
ance, and which he will doubtless adhere to,
was sufficiently explicit—that the doctrine of
non-intervention by Congress, and the right
of the people in States and Territories, to
manage their domestic affairs in their own
way, was so plainly set forth—that no one
but a dolt or a crazed enthusiast could possi
bly mistake his position. This, however, ap
pears not to be the case; and by way of easing
the minds of these doubters, we recommend
them to read the following extracts from let- •
ters written by THOMAS Jarrzasos in reference
to the "Missouri Compromise" measures of
1820. Under date of April 13, 1820, we find
the following in a letter to Mr. Short: j
illUsory would any other_ principle prove in
practice in regard to the Territories ! This is
apparent from the fact admitted by all, that
after a Territory shall have entered the Union
and become a State, no Constitutional power
would then exist which could prevent it from
either abolishing or establishing slavery, as
the case may be, according to its sovereign
will and pleasure.

Here (says the Providence Post) is a ma
jority against Fremont, in the Free States
alone, of two hundred and two thousand four
hundred and forty-four ! The Middle Freo
States have given a majority against him of
two hundred and fifty-two thousand seven
hundred and sixty-nine! The Western Free
States give a majority against him of sixty
six thousand six hundred and fifty. New
England, with a Fremont majority—as in the
days of the Hartford Convention—stands
alone in her glory. She gives a majority of
her popular vote, and her entire electoral vote,
against Mr. Buchanan. Just to she did by
Mr. Jefferson, and just so (with the exception
of a single electoral vote from Maine) she did
by Andrew Jackson. It is no very fearful
omen for a man to go into thb Presidential
chair without any assistance from New Eng
land.
Buchanan Withdrawn
A few days before the election, the opposi
tion prints industriously circulated a letter
purporting to have been written by Mr. Bu
chanan, announcing his determination to
withdraw. •We are gratified to be enabled to
assure our K. N. friends, on the strength of
figures, that never lie, that Mr. Buchanan has
now withdrawn. He has just come off the
political race course, with all the stakes in his
pocket, and will soon withdraw from his quiet
home at Wheatland, to occupy the Executive
chair of the nation, and dO the honors of the
White House. The question might be pro
pounded to our K. N. friends, did Fillmore
withdraw, or did he break down before the
race was over? It is our opinion he never
started with the other horses ; if he did, he
fell soon after reaching Maryland, the sixty
yard post, and never kicked afterward—he

with men of "wisest censure," and his nomi
nation a national necessity. The public danger
made him a candidate and patriotic national
sentiment elected him. His very opponents
anticipated his nomination as the only alter
native that could defeat their plans; and the
sequel answered to their augury. He will go
into the Presidency, after having defeated a
geographical party filled with the elements of
disunion and demoralization; after having
answered the hopes and wishes of those who
called for his nomination as necessary for the
deliverance of our country from a selfish and
and unscrupulous sectionalism. You, fellow
citizens of Chester county, whO have stood by
his side during so many lung years, may well
congratulate yourselves that the confidence
you reposed in him, has been vindicated by
his public life, and that the services you hon
ored, have fined him, at a period so grave and
significant as this, fur the highest office in the
gift of a brave and free people. And, after
all his trials, it is probably the most gratifying
of recent events. that the vote of his old Con
gressional District should have shown such a
high appreciation of his character, and that
when the whole nation demanded him as a
candidate, local animosities universally sur
rendered before him, and majorities which
had been thrown against his opinions were
overwhelmingly reversed.
Fremont's Popularity
The Free States gave a majority of over
200,000 against Fremont ! What a commen
tary is this upon the boastings of the Black
Republicans about " sweeping the whore
North like a whirlwind !" They were going
to carry every Northern State by large majori
ties, yet seven of them gave majorities against
him, and if it had required a majority vote to
choose electors, he would have carried but 76
electoral votes; for besides the five States
whose electoral votes (62) have been carried
for Buchanan, the States of New York and
Ohio, giving 58 electoral votes, gave popular
majorities against him. Yet the Black organs
talk about Fremont's great strength anr: popu
larity iu the Free States!
Flag Presentation
The Know• Nothings of Cincinnati have
presented a flag to their dark lantern brethren
of Baltimore—fur their riotous and murderous
conduct, we suppose, on the 4th of November,
as well as at the preceding municipal election.
Wonder whether it is a bloody flag! If it is
not, it should be beyond all question.
Baltimore needed nut this mark of approval
from the Know-Nothings of Cincinnati, to
render her character infamous for all time to

A Withering Rebuke
To the charge of the Cleveland Herald, that
Mr. Buchanan owes his election in part to "a
drove of abject slaves to the priestly dictation"
of the Roman Catholic Church, the Cieveland
Plaindealer replies :
" Where has been the 'priestly dictation'
during the campaign? What priests have
been openly in the field of politics? Was it
not during the Congressional session of '54,
when thirty five hundred Protestant clergymen
of New England demanded, 'in the name of
ALMIGHTY GOD,' the defe4t of the Nebraska
bill. Who else have pounded their pulpits to
pieces preaching politics but. Protestant cler
gymen ? Where is Beecher? Where is Bit
tinier? Where are all the Baptist, Episco
palian, Methodist, and Presbyterian clergy
men who have been compassing sea and land
to make proselytes, and, when successful, made
them ten-fold more the children of hell than
before? Not a Catholic priest in the land
has lifted a finger, or opened his mouth, to
babble in this Babel of politics. It has all
been left to those rifle religionists, notoriously
carried on by them, and now the Herald has
the impudence to talk about 'abject slaves to
priestly dictation.' Bah ! A straight jacket
would set gracefully upon such a lunatic."
The Delaware Sentinel
This paper, hitherto the organ of the so
called American party at Dover, Delaware,
has repudiated Know-Nothingism and has
come out in favor of Democracy. The editor
declares that in every State of the Union
where the American party has obtained the
ascendency, the public interests have been
neglected, the public will disregarded and
outraged, and the public character debased
by iniquitous violations of public order and
peace. It has contributed in no small degree
to the interruption of that harmony of feeling
which has hitherto characterized the Ameri
can people. Its natural effect has been a
sectional party, founded upon geographical
discriminations, which, had they not been re
buked by the late Presidential election, must
necessarily have eventuated in a dissolution
of the Union. The editor adds:—
In that contest, so vital to every great inter
! est of the country, the American party was
impotent for goud—would that we could stop
there—the truth, however, must be told. In
some of the States, in the hands of designing
and corrupt leaders, it became powerful fur
evil, and by fusion with the Black Republi
can Abolition party of the North, Sought to
defeat the election of a President by the peo
ple. Even in our own State, where, at least,
we had a right to presume that the party was
sound and conservative, we were pained to
see the "aid and comfort" that it gave the
Abolitionists by its rejoicings 'at their victo
ries, and its regrets at their defeats. Who
does not remember that, when the October
elections in some of the Northern States
indicated that popular feeling in that section
was in favor of the Black Republican candi
date, with what joy tfie news was hailed by a
large portion of the American party here °—
" A fellow feeling makes us wondrous kind."
With such a party we could no longer set,
and when the election came, we deposited
our vote for the whole Democratic State ticket.

SUPERINTENDENT OF THE COLUMBIA RAIL
ROA.—The Canal Board have done themselves
credit in the re-appointment of Col. J. B. BA
KER as Superintendent of the Columbia Rail
road. The Colonel has - held this position for
several years; though charges of official
corruption have been rife all around him, and
the simple fact of a connection with the Pub
lic Works has almost been held a disgrace,
and as evidence of dishonesty, not a word has
ever been uttered against him. -
We trust that the character he has estab
lished, in his official relations with the State,
may long be enjoyed, and that his future
management of the Columbia Road may be as
successful as in the Past.—Greensburg Demo
crat.
A NEW PARTY.—The Syracuse (N. Y.)
Courier understands that a new political or
ganization is on foot in the North for the
purpose of breaking ,up Priestly interference
with politics. Among other things, it proposes
to place our Clergy on an equal footing with
the rest of us, in respect to taxation, military
duty, jury duty, &c. Their exemption was
for the express purpose of withdrawing them
from the caucus and the stump, but they de
cline the hianor. Unless the Clergy abstain
from their attempt to control the politics of
the country, they cannot complain if the priv
ileges which are granted them by legislation
and which are alluded to above, are taken
away. The recent indentification of a large
body of them 'pith a desperate political faction,
and their unscrupulous desecration of the pul
pit to give it success, has created a deep and
bitter feeling throughout the land, and the
tenets ascribed to the new party would be
embraced by thousands. The American people
will never submit to the domination of the
Clergy of any denomination, and the sooner
the latter act upon this assumption the better
for them and the interests of religion.
COMPLETION OF THE NORTH BRANCH CANAL.
—The North Branch Canal, which was com
menced twenty years ago, is at length com
pleted through to the New York improvements.
A letter from Towanda, of November 15th,
announces the arrival of a boat from Wyoming,
with fifty tons of coal. This boat, which
proceeded on to Elmira, was, the first to pass
through the Canal. The upper North Branch
Canal extends from Pittston, the termination
of the former work, 95 miles, to the Junction
Canal, which is 17 miles in length, and con
nects, at Elmira, with the Chemung Canal in
New York State. The Junction Canal was
completed more than a year since, and the
Chemung Canal, our readers are aware, con
nects through the Seneca Lake, and the
Cayuga and Seneca Canal with the New York
and - Erie. Thus, by the present completion
of our North Branch, we have the greatest
Canal communication on earth, uniting the
waters of the Chesapeake Bay, the Great Lakes
and the Hudson River; and the system of
Pennsylvania improvements, projected nearly
a generation ago, in connection with the New
York plan, as emanating from tho mind of De
Witt Clinton, is at last to yield the present
race its long expected benefits.
Cola John W. Forney
This gentleman stands deservedly high•in
public esteem all over the country. The fol
lowing complimentary notice of him, which
we find in the Portland (Maine) Argus, does
no more than justice to his superior talents
and eminent services during the recent pro
tracted and exciting political campaign:
COL. FORNEY.--We are glad to see that our
Democratic contemporaries are disposed to do
justice to to the eminent services, in the late
canvass, of Col. Forney. They cannon well.
be over estimated. Pennsylvania was the
battle ground of the Union, and he was the
leader of the Democratic organization in that
State. How nobly he discharged the duties
of his position we need not say. Who could
have been more faithful, more industrious,
more energetic—and who could have brought
to the good work more genius and ability and
enthusiasm? Had we failed io the Keystone
be w6uld hrve been a permanent sufferer in a
general catastrophe ; and now that we have
succeeded there, let him be recognized with
equal preeminence, among the victors. We
know he is habitually traduced by men who
cannot appreciate his generosity of character.
But in proportion to the hatred of his political
enemies ought to be the reward of his politi
cal friends. We have known him for years,
and the better we have known him the more
we have respected that nobility Of nature
which the Almighty gave him, along with his
warm and glowing intellect, and of which no
calumny can possibly deprive him. May he
live a thousand years.

The 'War Steamer Denwerata—Battle between
Vidaurri and Garza.
NEW ORLEANS, Nov. 26
The schooner Major Barbour, from Coatza:
coalcos River, reports having been fired into
on the 12th of Octdber. by the Mexican war
steamer Democrata. Persons on board the
schooner were also fired at from the steamer.'
The commander of the Democrata fired a
pistol at Capt. Thompson, of the Major Bar
bour. The Democrata seized the Mexican
Custom House, and made the officers prisoners.
It is stated in private letters, received here
from Tamaulipas, that a pitched battle was
fought on the 10th instant, near Monterey,
between the forces of Vidaurri and Garza, in
which the latter lost everything, barely saving
his own person.
It is thought that Vidaurri's success will
have great effect on Com , mfort's government.
COMMUFkICATIONS
For the Intellfgeneer.
MESSRS. Estrous—That Prince of Liars, Bennett. of the
New York Herald, Is at last f aced to arks ,widen that the
Frittliulit issue, in the lets campaign, nAPa ll Mt 11.114. It is
not at all surnrising to see him squirming and twisting
bituself out of his late position, and trying to emus, over to
the triumphant Democracy. He lied just In proportion to
the pay he received, and whet, that ceased, and ha found
popular sentiment against him, he turned round and Ig
nored every thing said before. Jest look at him, since the
election of BUCHANAN—contrnat him as he appeared before
with his present appearanee.
In last Friday's issue ho acknowledges the Justness and
truth of the position which the Democratic party held
during the campaign—he reiterates the same arguments
which Democratic orators brought to bear against the in
famous lies he, the Tribune, the Exirers, Esamincr, and
duch like, circulated broadcast over the land.
Before the election BUCHANAN was a sectional—a Southern
candidate. Hear him now: '•Mr. BuctiaNAN is elected by
the Union sentiment of the country. That he will be.true to
this Union sentiment against all disunion agitators we are
entirety prepared to believe."
Now can any sensible man see what other reason than a
conviction that the Democratic party Is the Union party—
the true conservative party of the country—conld force him
to, such an acknoweledgment. What guarantee of his
coarse has fir. BUCHANAN given him, more than what Is
contained in his Letter of Acceptance—which was made the
great hobby to mislead ignorant and prejudiced voters ?
Has Mr. B. ever given rise to a single expression further
than that?—by which His Satanic Majesty has got spy
Glue to what will be his administration? Not one. Ire
stands pledged to carry out the Cincinnati Platform—the
principles of which alone can save the country from the
consequences which these fanatical agitators would bring
about it.
In another article commenting on the Emigrant kid
Society, of Massachusetts, he say.:
"From this Society sprung nearly all the difficulties which
have made the very name of Kansas a reproach and a by
word. ARMED HEN were sent from the NORTH to
regulate the affairs of the Territory—and the South retaliated.
"Mr. Thayer (the President of the Society) has made a
nice thing of it; the plains of Kansas arosaturatul with the
blood of the men he was instrumental lice bringing to their
deaths! Through the efforts of his Aid Soclety . the domestic
tranquility of the Republic was disturbed and its good
name tarnished; but he takes his seat in the National
Councils, and is feasted as a hero by his constituents."
Here, then, we have the gist of the whole matter. The
truth is out at last. Like the criminal on the gallows they
are owning up. The whole issue, forced upon the Demo
cratic party, by these murderers, was a glaring—an infa
mous LIE! Hear it, ye voters of Lancaster county and
Pennsylvania, who gave your sanction to those murderous
deeds! If your consciences told you you were right then,
how etends it now? You charged the South with continual
aggressions upon the North, and said t "We will compel
you to do as we wish!" and upon what pretext 1 Upon the
LIE that was circulated broadcast over the land. The North
while it has been stealing the property of the South, for a
series of years, with impunity, has the audacity to cry, like
the guilty wretch, "stop thief!"
What say you, men of the North, who aided and abetted
this Eli Thayer in his murderous work I, after this declara
tion of the Herald? Is it not what the Democratic party
was urging upon you to believe through the whole cam
paign? Precisely! And yet you persisted in your evil
course, of plotting treason against your country.
Our country has witnessed some trying times, but never
one like the campaign just closed. The evils resulting from
the' undue excitement created by the fanatical spirits of the
country, will reach through all future history. Time can
never eradicate them. The bitter feelings engendered by
North against South, and South against North, will live in
tinshearts of all generations to come. The injustice done
to one portion'of our country, by a set of treasonable fa
natics, can never be wiped away. It is a blot upon our
history. In future times it will stand out in bold relief—
and its prime actors held up to the acorn and execration of
all honest men. Instead of mom closely cementing the
bonds of Union, they have been widened fearfully. That
common fraternal feeling, which should exist, has been
smothered in embers of sections' hatred - and jealousy.—
Such a state of things is to he deeply. iegretted.
The conservative policy which Mr. BUCHANAN'S adminis
tration will inaugurate, may do a great deal to restore the
amicable relations which should exist between the North
and the South, but if can never heal tip entirely the breach
which fanaticism has made. DEMOCRAT.

TILE LANCASTER BANK.—We understand
foo t a reliable source that there le a strong probability of
thin inetitution being put on its feet again—by a new cut:-
scriptiou of stock to ihe amount suggested by the Directors,
in their Report to the meeting el Stockholders. This pro
ject, if carried out, will give the Bank a rash capital of
$300,007 to commence with, and enable It to Pay Ito present
Depositors In ono, two and three year.. Of course the old
stock ia all sunk, and will prove a dead loss to the Stock
holders, unless the doubtful and bad inmate of the Institu
tion should turn out better than the Director. anticipate.
Sine° the suspension the Bank ham redeemed over $85,.
000 of her notes in payment of debts due the Institution—
thus discharging her liabilities to that amount.
The confidence In the reorganization of the Bank is dal.
ly gaining ground in the community, and the heavy stock
holders it is said are subscribing with great willingness.
An adjourned meeting of the stoelamiders will ha held,
at Pollen Ilall, on Saturday next, the 6th Inst.
SENSIBLE.—The run that was' ,foolishly
made on the Farmers' Bank, and Lancaster County Bank,
for a few days after the suspansion of the Lancaster Bank,
has entirely ceased—the public being abundantly eatisfled
In the ability of both Institutions to meet all demands
made upon them. We understand that quite as much
specie was deposited iu them, during the run, as was taken
out.
VISIT TO Virnasms , sp.—The Students and
Faculty of Franklin and Marshall Collego made a formal

accompanied by the Pencil!hue Band. They were kindly
received by the President elect, who, in answer to a con,
gratulatory speech by Mr. Wm. A. Duncan, responded in a
few welitimed, pertinent remarks which were well eaten,
lated to make a favorable impression upon the large body
of young men who heard it. Mr. B. is the President of the
Board of Trustees of this College. 6

GUTiA PERCHA Boors FOR ...I..A.DIES.—The
New York Proving Pott recommends the substitution of
grata perch& for whalebone In the article of ladles' hoops.
It nays that gotta percha, which has been introduced, Is
not so heavy as whalebone, and much more flexible, so that
the dress can be folded close to. the person, when neceesary,
while it will preserve elasticity enough to resume Its proper
position again. /or the ladies' dresses this is just the thino
needed, and it can be united by simply putting the ends . .
in hot water. There is, therefore, ne. springing of the en+
and tearing of the dress. The ladles make a larger figge
in the world than they were wont, or they were formerly
allowed. They claim d great deal of latitude while moving
through life now-adays. They undoubtedly "spread them
selves" In a manner to abridge the rights and privileges of
the sterner sex, and occupy a very • "large space In the
public eye." Any Improvement suggested, therefore, even
in such a matter as dress, assuruets an unprecedented im
portance at this time. Some other people, besides old
bachelors, however, are beginning to wish that the better
half of creation would resume its natural proportions.
