Get Your Tickets,
Those of our friends throughout the county
who have not yet received their supply of tick
ets, would do well to call with the Chairman
of the County Committee and get their supply.
Should Mr. Swarr be absent from town, as he
expeots to be during a portion of the present
week, tickets will be furnished by application
at this office.
Amendments to the Constitution.
The tickets in favor of the proposed amend
ments to the Constitution have to be voted on
a separate slip of paper from the State and
county tickets. Tickets for the amendments
have been forwarded by the Chairman of the
County Committee to all the election districts
in the county, of which our friends will please
take notioe. "We hope they will all vote for
the amendments.
A Correction,
We were led into a mistake last week (by
misunderstanding one of the Directors,) in
stating that the Lancaster County Bank had
resumed the payment of its Fives in specie.—
They have not done it as yet, but expect short
ly to do so. We are very dear in one thing,
however, that the County Bank and Farmers'
Baiik, and every other solvent Bank in the
State ought to accommodate the people with
change, and that, too, without any farther
delay. If it is not done, it will only be worse
for the Banks in the end.
Look to tike Legislature,
If the people of Lancaster county want to
be represented in the next Legislature by men
who will compel the Banks to be honeßt and
pay their debts like individuals have to do*
they will vote for the Democratic ticket, with
the names of Messrs Patton and Raub for the
Senate, and Messrs. Brenneman, M’llvain,
Bones and Wicks for the Assembly, upon it.
To the Polls I To the Polls J
Fellow Democrats of Lancaster county, be
sure you all go to the election on TUESDAY
NEXT. Let not a man of you remain at
home on that day. If we poll our entire
strength, there is a strong probability that at
least a portion, if not the whole, of our ex
cellent County Ticket will be elected. Let
every man be resolved to do his whole duty
in the matter—and be sure to have every
Democratic vote in the county polled on Tues
day next. Recollect', that every vote counts,
and a tew votes may deoide the result in the
oounty.
Beware of Spurious Tickets
We warn our friends to be on their guard
against spurious or altered tickets. They
will be as plenty as blackberries, and ar
ranged in such a way as to deceive many of
the voters, unless they are on their guard.
Be Bure that you have the following names
upon your ticket, before you deposit it in the
ballot box: '

Suspensions.
Two or three rascally Banks in Philadelphia
having gone beyond their depth in specula
tions, are compelled to suspend specie pay
ment, and the alarm thus created produces a
general suspension of the city Banks, and
those in the country then have no other reme
dy than to follow suit. Now instead of pun
ishing the evil doers, the authors of all this
mischief are to be bolstered up and the suspen
eion of all the Banks is to be legalized to save
the broken ooncems that oaused it I
Bat why shall a distinction be made be
tween the Banks and individuals ? If a law is
to be passed to relieve the former from pay
ing their debts, for a certain period, why not
do the same thing for ths latter ? We say, if
the Bank suspension is to be legalized then
suspend the Sheriffs and Constables too 1
Shall Railroads or the People Rule 1
If the people of Lancaster county desire
Railroad Corporations to rule the. Common
wealth will vote for the so-called Union
County Ticket, headed by Babtrah A. Shaxf
feb and Robert Baldwin. If they are in
favor of a repeal of the Tonnage Tax, by
which $300,000 a year will be lost to the State
Treasury-and put in-the pockets of the Mana
gers and Directors of the Pennsylvania Rail
road, which sum will have to be made up by
the tax payers of the Commonwealth, they
-will vote the Union ticket, and they will have
their desires gratified to the fullest extent.
But if they desire the People to rule, if
they are opposed to making a further donation
to the Pennsylvania Railroad, of $300,000 a
year, (after bestowing that Company the Main
Line,) they will vote the Democratic County
Ticket, beaded by William Patton and John
K. Raub who are pledged agamst a repeal of
the Tonnage Tax. If the people of Lancas
ter county are opposed to making an appro
priation from the State Treasury to the Sun
bury and Erie Railroad of from $3,000,000 to
$5,000,000 (for which j one of the candidates i
on the Union tioket, Mr. Pownall, voted, and
which vote was sanctioned by the Convention
that re-nominated him,) they will vote the
Democratic ticket with the Dames ot Messrs.
Patton, Raub, Brbnneman, Mclltain, Bones
and Wicks upon it. These gentlemen are all
pledged, by the Convention which nominated
them, to oppose any such appropriation, or
any other scheme for plundering the State
Treasury.
Fellow citizens of Lancaster county 1 —
Choose ye between these candidates. Deter
mine the question for yourselves, on Tuesday
next, whether you will rule yourselves for the
future, or whether you will humbly crouch
down and permit Railroad corporations to put
their yoke upon your necks and upon the
necks of your children after you. This ques
tion must be decided by you. The Union
County Convention by their nominations for
Seifate and Assembly, and by their quasi en
dorsement of these corporations, has left you
no- alternative. Your votes will decide
whether you are for or against -these further
and enormous depletions of the State Treasury.
If you are for them, you will vote the Union
Count/ ticket—if you are against them, and
desire your will to be effective in preventing
them, you can best accomplish your object by
voting the Democratic ticket.
Keep it before tlie People!
That on Tuesday next you will be called
upon to choose for your Chief Magistrate, be
tween a native Pennsylvanian— William F.
Packer —who thoroughly understands the in
terests of the Commonwealth, and a New
York Free-Trade and Abolition Agitator—
David Wilmot —who is ignorant of the busi
ness and politics of the State, and whose
whole heart and mind are wrapped up in the
one idea of hostility to Slavery and'enmity to
our Southern brethren.
Remember, fellow-Democrats of Lancaster
county, that “ Eternal Vigilance is the Price
paid for Liberty.” Go to the Polls, every one
of you—let not a vote be left at home—exer
cise your rights as Freemen, at all hazards—
rally with energy and zeal to the defence of
those time-honored principles of Democracy
which you have so triumphantly sustained in
by-gone days—and proclaim once more to the
State and the Union, that the Democracy of
old Lancaster are still true as steel to the faith
of their fathers.
GLORIOUS NEWS FROM THE WEST r
California Democratic to the Back Bone I
The steamship Star of the West arrived at
Now York, on Saturday, bringing California
papers of the sth of September, and $1,600,000
in gold.
The town of Columbia, in California, was
almost entirely destroyed by fire a few v days
previous, with a loss ot about $600,000.
The State Election took place on the 2d
inst., and resulted iu the triumphant choice of
John B. Weller fur Governor, and the whole
Democratic State ticket by a iyajority, as it is
estimated from present returns, of from
20 to 30,000 I
over Edward-Stanly, the Black Republican
candidate, and a majority of several thousand
over both him and the American candidate,
Maj. Bowie. The "Republicans” are much
chagrined at the result, as they fondly hoped
that their candidate, by mounting the Settlers’
platform and all the isms of the day, would
have gained a 'decisive victory over the Demo
cratic candidate. One thing has been very
definitely settled by the present election, viz :
that Sectionalism cannot thrive in that State.
The people of California have an abiding love
for the Constitution and the Union, and are
opposed to the agitation of Slavery, believing
that it stirs up strife, produces alienation of
feeling, and tends to weaken the bands which
bind one portion of the Confederacy to the
other.
The Democratic party boldly displayed on
its flag the mottoes of popular sovereignty in
the Territories, the justice of the decision in
the Dred Scott case, the non-agitation of the
subject of slavery, the importance of the Uni
on, and the integrity of the Constitution. Col.
Weller, as the champion of the National Ad
ministration, took the field on these issues, and
traversed the State, meeting his Black Repub
lican opponent at every point—and has his
reward in a triumphant election by a majority
of from 20,000 to 30,000!
On board the steamer was Mr. D. H. Bur
rows, with a barrel of Los Angelos wine, and
also samples of Oranges, Citrons,- Almonds,
Grapes, &c., —a present for President Bu
chanan.
Not tlie Right Time Now I
This is the convenient catch-word of Bank
owners and the Bank-owned, in relation to
the propriety of instituting a thorough 1 inves
tigation into the condition of these soulless
corporations, and winding them up where it
is apparent that they have departed from the
legitimate uses for which they were originally
established, and have been forced to suspend
specie payments in consequence of their law
less oourse. It is not the right time now I
And, pray, when would be a more favorable
time? This cry we have heard iterated and
reiterated ever since the parasite system was
entailed upon the body politic to eat out the
proceeds of our national prosperity, and it has
proven a more exacting and conscienceless
aristocray than ever afflicted any country un
der any government. It was not the right
time in 1817—18—19 and ; 20, when nearly one
third of all the real estate in the Common
wealth was placed under the Sheriff's hammer!
It was not the right time in 1837 when the
Banks covered the whole land with a pall of
desolation ! It never will be the right time
with those who control the Banks and those
who are controlled by them. But it is the
right time for the people— the true Democ
racy—to take immediate steps for a gradual
winding up of all rotten incorporated and un
incorporated shaving shops, and a return to
the constitutional, and only true currency
adopted by the patriots who framed the
Constitution. Let the people, on Tuesday
next, elect an honest and intelligent Demo
cratic Legislature and the thing will be ac
complished. It is an opportunity that may
not occur again for many years—let it not be
neglected.
The Grand Firemen’s parade took
place yesterday in Philadelphia.
What is to be Done!
i The financial doctors are busily engaged
taxing their ingenuity to provide a remedy for
the existing state oj* things in the money mar
ket—- some suggesting one thing, some another,
but all talking abciat affording relief to the
Banks, as though they, and not the commu
nity, were the greatest sufferers by the sus
pension. And even the Governor, good easy
sonl, has been prevailed upon by the
moustached gentry and financial robbers of
Philadelphia, to convene the Legislature, seven
days before their official term expires, for the
purpose of legalizing illegality and rascality—
a work for which a majority of that body,
judging from their course last winter and
spring, are admirably adapted. They meet
at Harrisburg to-day, by proclamation of his
Excellency, and we shall, therefore, during the
present week, have an addition to the medico
financial tribe of some one hundred and thirty
three quacks, most of whom commenced their
experiments last winter about the time a U,
S. Senator was elected. That a majority of
the presont Legislature will be open to weighty
conviction, and do any thing the Banks re
quire of them, is beyond a doubt, and we may
look for the foulest wrongs upon the people to
be perpetrated between this and Monday
evening next when the session must terminate
by constitutional limitation.
But why this haste on the part of the Banks
and the Governor ? Why not have waited ten
or twelve dayß longer and convened the new
Legislature to be elected on Tuesday next?—
The answer is easily given. The old Legis
lature is oompoßed of the right kind of
material to disregard the wishes of the people,
and sanction any fraud upon the public the
Banks and Shaving Shops of the Common
wealth may wish to perpetrate —the new Leg
islature may have more honest men in it, and
therefore not be disposed to play into the hands
of the Shylocks who manage these matters.—
We hope sincerely that the next Legislature
may be composed of honest men, add that they,
with the assistance of Governor Packer, will
repeal all the odious laws of the present one
which may be enaoted in the last moments of
its existence.
We can tell the Banks what the great mass
of the people want them to do, and that, too,
immediately, and that is to resume specie pay
ments, and redeem their “promises to pay”
when presented at the counter. They exact
prompt payment from their debtors, and why
should they (the Banks) be absolved from
acting honestly and doing what they compel
individuals to do ? Corporations, it has been
well said, have no souls. This is literally and
emphatically true, else why would they, with
out scruple, bring such general distress upon
the working classes of the community (for it
is the mechanic and laboring man who are the
principal sufferers,) as they are now doing ?
We tell them once for all, plainly and point
edly, that the people will not submit to a pro
longed suspension of specie payments—much
less will they sanction any issue of shin
plasters as a measure of relief ; and the sooner
the Banks begin to be honest and redeem
their “ promises to pay,” the better it will be
for themselve* and the community in which
they are located.
Til* Constitutional Clause.
In the Constitution ofNew York there is a
clause prohibiting the Legislature of that
State from sanctioning in any way the sus
pension of specie payments by the Banks.—
Wo ought to have a similar provision in the
Constitution of Pennsylvania and in every
other State, although in reality it is superero
gatory. The Constitution of the U. States,
which is supreme over all and which every
Governor and Legislator in the Union takes a
solemn oath to support, clearly provides for
this emergency. It ordains that nothing but
gold and silver shall be a legal tender in the
payment of debts. Now a Bank note is a
promise to pay so many dollars in gold or
silver, when it is presented at the counter of
the Bank. This is a oontract between the
Bank and the holder who presents the bill.
When the Bank refuses to pay in specie, the
institution has violated the voluntary contract
entered into by itself. Now, then, when a
State Legislature passes a law sanctioning the
suspension of specie payments, it violates
another and very important provision of the
United States, by making a’“law impairing
the obligation of contracts.”
These two fundamental provisions of the
Federal Constitution that no State “shall
make anything but gold and silver coin a
tender in payment of debts,” or “law impair
ing the obligations of contracts,” will both be
violated by our State Legislature, if they
eithey legalize the suspension of the Banks,
or authorize them to make an issue of shin
plasters. Let the members reflect on the oath
they have taken to support the Constitution
of the United States, and act accordingly.
David Wllmot,
Hear what the Harrisburg Telegraph of July
8, 1846, (then, as now, the State organ of the
opposition to the Democratic party) says of
Wilmot, the Black Republican candidate for
Governor; and also of Thompson, one of the
Democratic candidates for the Supreme Bench,
then a member of Congress :
“We rejoice in being able to record the
votes of all the Loco Foco members in Con
gress, from this State, excepting Wilmot of
Bradford county, against the repeal of the
Tariff of 1842. This recreant son who basely
betrayed her interests and voted with the Free
Traders , should be banished from her territory.
His infamous treachery should be revenged .by
disowning and turning him upon the South for
support. His NAME AND HIS DEED WILL STINK
IN THE NOSTRILS OF EVERY TRUE HEARTED PENN
SYLVANIAN forever— whilst those ofßrodhead,
Thompson, Foster, and all the other Loco Fo
cos, and the Whigs who honestly and faithfully
did their duty to Pennsylvania, will be held
in grateful remembrance.” ‘
Such was the opinion entertained of Mr.
Wilmot and Judge Thompson respectively,
eleven years ago, by not only the Harrisburg
Telegraph, but also the Lancaster Examiner
and all the Whig papers in the Commonwealth.
And yet, strange to gay, with the most glar
ing inconsistency, they are now advocating
the very man who was so bitterly denounced
by them for his treachery to the interests of
Pennsylvania” and opposing one of the men
(Mr. Thompson) who was then lauded by
these same prints for his fidelity to those in
terests !
Th§ Tariff and the Money Panic.
Already some of the more unscrupulous of
the Black Republican prints and speakers are
endeavoring to make a little political capital
out of the existing derangement in money
matters, by representing the suspension of
the Banks as a natural consequence of the
passage of the tariff act of 1846. Suppose this
were so, (which of course no sensible man be
lieves,) why then are they engaged in the
business of trying to elevate to the Guberna
torial chair of the Commonwealth ths only
man then in Congress, from Pennsylvania,
who advocated and voted for that same tariff
bill, and who was bitterly denounced, at the
time, from the Delaware to Lake Erie for so
doing ? Can any thing he more palpably in
consistent than the .oonduot of these Abolition
papers and orators !
Honesdale Bank and Wyoming
Bank had not suspended at the latest accounts.
The Easton Banks, the Chester County Bank,
and one or two others in the State are redeem
ing their Fives, so as to accommodate the peo
ple with change. Why cannot our own Banks
ddo the same ?
Laneaiter County,
The progress of the great county of Lan
caster, Pennsylvania, and its political, agri
cultural, financial, and social history, would
fill a volume. Its immense dimensions, its
population and resources, its fields, its farmers,
iti politics, would form many an interesting
chapter. For years this county was the back
bone of the opposition to the Democrats: but
new issues, new converts, and nevr combina
tions, are preparing for a new order of things.
Last year Mr. Buchanan was defeated by a
very small majority in Lancaster county —a
circumstance greatly owing to the efforts of
many gentlemen formerly attached to other
parties. This year an animated content is
going on between the Democracy, strength
ened by these new allies, and the Republicans.
We give the full national ticket, from Sander
son's Intelligencer & Journal, of Tuesday last.
On this ticket we recognise several of the
firmest and most influential of the old leaders
of the Henry Clay Whig Party in Eastern
Pennsylvania. Among these we cannot for
bear an allusion to William Carpenter, who
runs for Prothonotary. He possesses as much
personal popularity in Lancaster county, if
not more than any other man in it; and he
has won this popularity by his industry, en
ergy* kindness of heart, and strong intellect.
We are glad to see John H. Brenneman and
T. S. Mclltain on the Assembly tioket.—
These, with Patton and Race for Senators,
will secure sound men for the Legislature,
should they be elected. This is the kind of
ticket to “carry,” if those who are upon it are
as active as they ought to be. —Philadelphia
Press, 24 th ult.
From the Wedt Chester Democrat.
Tonnage Tax,
This subject is entering largely into the
election of members of the legislature in almost
every county. Everywhere the position of the
Democracy is against repeal, and against a
sale of the tax for less than its value as a
source of State revenue.—The Democratic
State Convention denounced “ the exemption
and release of the Pennsylvania Railroad Com
pany from all taxation upon its capital stock,
business, and property forever,” by the bill
for the sale of the Main Line, as “ a precedent
of doubtful constitutionality, and an odious
distinction between a powerful corporation
and the tax paying citizens of the State.”
The democracy of Chester and most of the
other counties have with great unanimity,
assumed that position ; but no where have the
Republicans, by word or deed, given any evi
dence that their party or their candidates are
not in favor jf the legislation of last session,
by which it was attempted, as shown by the
decision of the Supreme Court, to wrong the
State out of four millions one hundred thous
and dollars. This question is one of large
interest to the general taxpayers of the State.
The people are alive to its importance, and
will award to those who prove false to them,
the fate of the traitors who attempted to sell
the State to the United States Bank. As an
evidence of the feeling abroad, we give the fol
lowing from the Valley Spirit, the democratic
organ of Franklin County :
The Monster in Motion. —The grasping
corporation, the Pennsylvania Railroad Com
pany, is in the field, endeavoring to secure the
election of its friends to the Legislature. In
Lancaster county, the Republicans have nom
inated Colonel Bartram A. Shaeffer, the Soli
citor or Attorney of the Company, for the
State Senate, and among their candidates for
Assembly is Mr. Pownall, whcr*-was a member
of the last Legislature and as such voted for
the bill exempting the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company forever from taxation., If the Com
pany succeeds in getting enough of its min
ions elected, it will secure the repeal of the
tonnage tax and thereby cut off from the State
Treasury the receipt of about a quarter of a
million of dollars per annum. The repeal of
that tax is the great object the Company has
in view now. If our taxpayers do not want
their own burdens increased, they must not
let the tax on the Pennsylvania Railroad Com
pany be repealed. This is an important mat
ter to the taxpayers. Their burdens are heavy
enough already, but they will be heavier still
if the Pennsylvania Railroad Company is re
lieved from taxation, for whatever is takeu off
the Company must be made up from the tax
payers of the State. If the Company is re
leased from the payment of a quarter of a
million dollars annually, then that sum in ad
dition to the large amount already assessed
must be collected from the property owners of
the Commonwealth. The stock of the Penn
sylvania Railroad Company is held princi
pally by Foreigners, most of them English
men. What is not held in England is in the
hands of rich capitalists in the cities. They
are receiving eight per cent dividends, and yet
they want the tax taken off, so that they may
divide twelve or fifteen per cent. Shall these
English and rich city Btock-holder9 succeed in
their design of robbing the country people of
Pennsylvania? Shall their property be releas
ed from taxation, whilst everythinginFranklin
county, from the largest farm to the smallest
cabin, is compelled to pay its share of the
public debt and interest? If a majority of
Black Republicans are returned to the Legis
lature, the wishes of the Euglish stockholders
of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company wiP
be complied with.
Extra Session.
The members of the Legislature of 1857 are
fortunate fellows. Gov. Pollock gives them
another ohanee at the Treasury which they
will not let slip. Mileage —6o much a day ;
and then they can vote themselves $5OO for a
session of six days. Thus a great expense is
caused to the Commonwealth, when our
people are suffering from hard times and a
severe panic in money matters. The session
cannot cost less than $30,000 and may cost
more.— Patriot.
What It Means I
The “ financial crisis," of which we hear so
much, means nothing more than that men, in
their haste to grow rapidly rich, have been
doing business far beyond their meanß. They
have, consequently, run out all the string to
their kite, and the kite has come down. The
number of kite flyers being very great, the
number of falls have been in the sanie propor
tion. The crash was inevitable sooner or
later.
Why Should the Community Snger.
This pertinent question is putin the follow
lowing shape by the Philadelphia “ Press
“ Why should the community suffer the
evils of a-.depreciated and irredeemable cur
rency, and its business be paralyzed, that
loans may be extended to speculators to hold
on to larger quantities of sugar, breadstuff's,
lumber, iron, or any other marketable product
or commodity, until they can make that com
munity pay high prices for them, and the
owners make large profits or save themselves
from large losses ?”
Pxnk Panic. —The Bank panio is ex
tending. We have news of the suspension of
fivebanks in Tennessee. The panic has reached
New Orleans, where the banks were unable to
meet the demands upon them. The Charleston
money market is stringent, and the banks
there are doing very little. A number of
heavy business failures are reported in New
York, and the money market suffers .a com
plete panio. There is a large decline in flour,
stocks'and pork. In Virginia, the Bank sus
pensions last noted as confirmed, are at Alex
andria, the Bank of Commerce at Fredericks
burg, the Howardsville Bank,and the Farmers’
Bank of Charlottsville.

Governor Walker and Kansas.
Governor Walker has issued a Proclama
tion to the people of Kansas, relative to the
October election for a Delegate to Congress,
members uf.the Legislature, and various Coun
ty officers. It will be a very important elec
tion, and upon its result the peace and com
fort of the people in a great measure depend.
Got. Walker does notooncur with the extra
judicial opinion of Judge Cato, of Boston, and
the opinion of the United States District At
torney, to the effect that none but those who
have paid the territorial tax are entitled to
vote. His argument on this point is lengthy
and elaborate, and is sustained by a letterfrom
the Secretary of State, stating the entire con
currence of the President and all his Cabinet
in his views on that subject, and empowering
him to issue any authoritative mandate on the
matter he might deem proper, to the judges of
election.
The Governor then proceeds to call upon
; every bona fide inhabitant of the territory,
who has been a resident for six months, to
vote at the ensuing election, and pledges the
employment of the federal troops to repress
invasion from Missouri or elsewhere. He as
sures the people that the troops are employed
for peace and nut for war, that they will be
stationed at the polls where violence has been
threatened or is anticipated, that he trusts
that their mere presence will prevent violence
or insurrection, and he adds the following
solemn pledge:—
“ The troops at my disposal, which are fully
competent to the task, will, at the request of
citizens of both parties, be stationed at the
points where violenoe has been threatened or
anticipated, not for the purpose of overawing
the people, or of interfering in any way with
the elections, or influencing them in any res
pect whatever, but, by their presence, guard
ing the polls against any attempt at insurrec
tion or violence, from the mere knowledge of
the fact that it can and will be suppressed,
but, if necessary, also to protect and secure,
by lawful means, all the just rights ofoitizens
in exercising the elective franchise under the
decision of the proper authority, and to act as
a posse comitatus fur the arrest of offenders.”
The Governor laments the omission to take
a census or registry in fifteen entire counties,
thus virtually disfranchising the people there
of, so far as the right to elect a territorial
legislature is concerned, but shows that, after
all, the accident is not so grievious as is an
ticipated.
Although none of those fifteen counties
could vote for delegates to the convention, the
remedy for which-lies with the convention
itself, and although no members have been or
could be apportioned them for the territorial
legislature, yet the speaker of the house and
the president of the counoil, in conformity with
the duty prescribed by law, have attached them
to other legislative districts, so that they can
vote for members of the territorial legislature.
He adds—
“That the apportionment has no effect
whatever upon the vote for delegate for con
gress, or for county officers; in regard to both
of which the counties excluded from the ap
portionment fur the territorial legislature have
the same rights and influence, in proportion to
their votes, as the people, of any other counties
of Kansas.”
It is apparent that Gov. Walker is in favor
of submitting the constitution to the vote of
the people, to give them a fair chance to vote
at the October eleotion, and “ an opportunity,
in conformity, with the Constitution of the
United States, the organic act of Congress, and
the laws of the territory, to decide, by the
elective franchise, the choice of their delegate
to Congress, their territorial, legislature, and
their county officers.”
The N. Y. Mirror expresses its decided ap
probation of the proclamation, while the N. Y.
Commercial Advertiser concludes a faithful
synopsis of the document with the following
paragraph :
“ The proclamation closes with sentiments
that do honor to their author, albeit, as we
have hinted, his excellency is a little too fond
of uttering them by pen and by word of mouth.
He declares that all his energies shall be used
to give to the people of Kansas the making of
their own laws and the control ot their own
government, in the true sense of the organic
act, free from all violence, injustice or foreign
interference ;and that while entertaining deci
ded political sentiments and desiring their
supremacy, he ‘ cannot and will not do any
act, or countenance or sustain any act, the
effect of which would be to deprive the people
of Kansas of any rights secured to them by
the federal compact, by the organic act, or by
the laws of the believing, as he
does, that a ‘ victory secured by violence or
injustice would be worse than a defeat, and
could only in the end destroy all hopes of the
ultimate success of conservative principles
and constitutional liberty in Kansas.”

New Counterfeit*.
The following new counterfeits have made
their appearance. As there is a large amount
of the money of the Banks we enumerate in
circulation in this community, it would be
well tor our citizens to carefully examine all
notes offered them, before receiving them:
One —Columbia Bank, Columbia, Pa.—
Bank has no Is.
Three —Columbia Bank, Pa.—Bank has no
Five —York County Bank , Penn. Vig.,
man and horse plowing—Franklin's head on
right —girl on left end.'
Five —York Co. Bank. Pa.; vig. two men,
horses and plow: Franklin on right; boy,
girl and dog on left.
Five— Columbia Bank, Pa., altered—Vig.
three females inclining—portrait of Washing
ton on the right—goddess of liberty on left.
Ten —Harrisburg Bank, Pa. Vig. Wash
ington and Rittenhouse —canal boat on one
end, and male and female on the other—un
like genuine. -
Plenty of Specie. —A good deal of clamor
has been excited on the part of certain shal
low thinkers about the large amount of money
detained in the vaults of the Independent
Treasury. The clamor can be readily silenced,
if our banking institutions will purchase Uni
ted States stocks, and draw out specie for them
for the use of their customers. It may be
that they will have to pay a higher premium
than they will obtain from the government;
but what of that ? It is not as mnch a? their
customers are paying every day for their
benefit. They can draw out sufficient in a
day to pay all their customers. —Pittsburg

Mass Meeting—A Grand Turn Out or the
Abolitionists — “ William Proviso” Speaks. —After a “great
flourish of trumpets” David, king of the Black Republi
cs®! has at last made hia appearance in Lancaster. Hearing
the delightful strains of a full brass band, passing the
Intelligencer Office, on Saturday eveniog, and asking the
cause of it, we learned that the Hon. David Wilmot, ex-
Judge, and “ex-Mud Boss” on the “raging canawl,” was to ;
speak at Fulton Hall that evening. We wended our way
thither and found the hall pretty well filled, a large pro
portion of the audience, however, were Democrats and
“Straight-Outers.” We were not in the hall long before j
the Chairman of the Black Republican County Committee, 1
Mr. Robert A. Evans, mounted the stage and announced a 1
long list of officers, not more than half a dozen of whom
made their appearance. Hon. Anthony E. Roberta acted 5
as President. 1
Alexander Hamilton Hood, Esquire, then aroee. In all
his majestic dignity, and moved that a committee of three
be appointed to wait upon Judge Wilmot aud request him
to address the meeting. The motion was made in our fat
friend’s own peculiar style. The committee consisted ot
Judge (that wanted to be) Alexander Hamilton Hood.
Judge (that was to be) William W. Brown, and Senator
(that wishes to be) Col. Bartram A. Sbaeffor. While the
committee was absent Heptiog’s Band, which was stationed
in the back part of the hall, favored the audience with
somo fine music.
The committee soon returned with the distinguished ex-
Judge and ex-Mud Boss. He took his seat on the stage
between John Strobm, the man who voted against supply
ing our Army in Mexico with provisions, and Thaddeus
Btevens, of ‘-back-shot” and “back window” notoriety.
These three worthies had a delightful time together.
The President Mr. Roberts, then introduced “Hod.
Judge Wilmot, the America* Republican candidate for
Governor” rio the audience. The Judge commenced his
j speech by complaining of the labors of the canvass, which,
he said, had nearly prostrated him. He then took up Gov
Bigler’s great Clarion speech, which, we should judge*
causes him a vast deal of trouble. He said that Gov. Bigler
had arraigned him for not speaking about State issues und
questions of domestic policy. He stated that he was glad
the Main Line had been sold—that all our public works
were a source of corruption—that corrupt public officers
had grown rich off them. [The Judge here, of course,
•peaks from experience, as be waj at one time and for
several years an officer on the North Branch Canal.]
He then spoke of the Tariff, and here, again. Gov. Bigler
has given him much uneasiness. [What a naughty fellow
the Governor is! ] Tho Judge had hard work to make good
his position on that question. He “wriggled in and
wriggled out” to the utmost satisfaction of his particular
friends Stevens and Darlington, who clapped their hands
and stamped their feet wildly for joy. His disposal of tbs
Tariff question, State issues and questions of domestic pol
icy occupied about half an hour.
Ha then got on to his favorite hobby—the Slavery ques
tion, and hero, also, Gov. Bigler is the ghost of Wilmot,
and haunts him in bis dreams. After talking about the
designs of the Slavery extensionista, giving tho Dred Scott
decision a dab, and soaring into the hifalutln of Abolition
rant, he concluded his two hours’ harangue by asserting is
substance that a negro is as good in every respect as a white
man. This was received with the wildest applause by a
few fanatics present, but it was a hard pill for a large por
tion of hi* Republican friends to swallow. Tbe whole
burden of his speech was Bigler and Slavery. In the course
of it, however, he gave the astounding information that
President Buchanan owod his election to frauds perpetrated
On the ballot box in Philadelphia last October. He had not
a word to say about the present crisis in our monetary
affairs. Wilmot is not the same man that ho was ten years
ago. He seems to bo broken down montally. Ho does not
speak with the same power that he did in “days ofyoro.”
Well, he has followed after “strange gods,” and has to
make the best of his course. His audience was considerably
“thinned out” by the time he finished speaking,
Some fellow then called for Stevens. The old “buck
shot” hero took the stand and gave the audience one of
his characteristic speeches, as matter of course full of tbe
filthiest kind of abuse. He spoke about slavery in Kansas,
and said that if that “curse were entailed on that free ter.
ritory he, for one, would not be afraid to shoulder his
musket to exterminate, it.” Nobody supposes he would,
provided there was a “back window” convenient. He also
made a vile attack on our foreign born population. Tbe
Democratic County Ticket came in for a Blight share of his
attention. It evidently causes the old iinner a good deal
of trouble and uneasiness. HU speech throughout
was composed of tho same stale slang which he invariably
vents against any thing Democratic.
At the conclusion of Stevens’ speech, some individual,
with a Tery faint voice, proposed three cheers for Wilmot,
which were still more faintly given, and the audience
quietly dispersed.
Abolished.— The Collector’s Office on the
Railroad in this city, has been abolished by the Pennsyl
vania Railroad Company, and the tolls are now collected
by Mr. Myers, the Freight Agent, at Dillerville. The old
office and dwelling at the corner of Duke and Chesnutsta.
have been vacated. Col. Carmaxt, tho late Collector, retires
from office with the best wishes of tbe entire community.
He held the office for upwards of five years, and the unan
imous sentiment of this community is, that he was one of
the most fuithful and competent officers the State ever bad-
“Straight-Out” Meeting.— A meeting of
the “ Straight-Outers ” was to be held lost ovenlng at
Fulton Hall. Hon. Isaac Hazelhurst, their candidate for
Governor, and 11. Bucher Swoope, Esq., Chairman of the
State Committee, were announced to address the faithful.
East Pennsylvania Lutheran Synod.—
This body convened lu St. John’s Lutheran Chnrcb, West
Orange street, on Friday morulDg. The following officers
were elected: President, Rev. 6. Parsans; Secretary, Rev.
D. Steck: Treasurer, Rev. E. W. Hatter. The pulpits of
several of our churches were filled on Sunday by the min-
isters in attendance on the Synod. The sittings of the
body are attended by a goodly number of our citizens.—
The Synod will remain in session, we presume a day or
Meeting of Councils. — A stated meeting
of the Councils will be held in their chambers, in the City
Hall, this evening, at 7 o’clock.
More Fires—lncendiaries Still About.—
On Wednesday afternoon last, about 1 o'clock, a fire broke
out in the Btable attached to Schaffer's Bakery, corner of
East King and Lime streets, which, with some other out
buildings, were burnt to the ground with all their contents.
A splendid horse, valued at $250, perished in the flames.—
A lot of hay, &c., was aUe consumed. There was a consid
erable quantity of floor in one of the out-buildlngs, which
was much damaged, If not totally ruined. A person by
the name of James Adams, a cracker baker, who was in the
employ of Mr. Schaeffer, but had been discharged that
morolDg on account of intemperate habits, was arrested od
suspicion of firing the stable, and committed to prison to
await his trial. We have not learned whether there was
any insurance on the property destroyed.
Still Anotoxb.—On Thursday night, between 11 and 12
o’clock, the cry of fire was again heard In our streets, and
the firemen, with their heavy engines and hose carriages,
;re promptly on the “run.” Roigart’s Steam Saw Mill
In the extreme south-eastern part of the city, on the banks
of the Conestoga, was entirely consumed by the raging
element. The Mill not having been in operation for some
time, the firo was, doubtless, the work of some fiendish
incendiary. The S. E. Ward seems to be particularly fated
in this respect, as nearly all the fires occurlng lately havo
been in that quarter of the city. Mr. Reigart’s loss Is about
$5,000, but, we understand,it is nearly covered by insurance.
Cricket Match.— A match between the
Conestoga Cricket Clnb of this city, and the Constitution
Club of Strasbnrg, will bo played, at Strasburg, this eve
ning. Rare sport and good exerclss.

Tue Examination at Chuechtown.—A
cum-upoudent sends tbe following account of the late ex
amination at the Churchtown Academy :
i Messrs. Editors:—On- the 25th of last month I had the
| pleasure of witnessing an examination of the Students of
I tho Cburchtowu Academy. It is ueedlexs to commetu on
I the merits of this Institution, as it bis had a reputation for
I thoroughness ever hince it was founded; and the manner
I In whi-h the young men and boys acquitted themselves on
| that day fully establishes the correctness of that roputa
| tion. Thera was something eUo which seemed to me par
ticularly worthy of-remark, that there was no previous
preparation expressly for an Examination. It was sur
prising to me to hear the manner in which those young
persons—some of them apparently not over 1U years of age
—answered the questions propounded to them. There was
t one little fellow whose age, I afterwards foamed, was be
tween 12 aud 13 years, Who a Ived mentally an original
question, which he had never seen before, proposed by ono
of the teachers. Tho question was this: “A can mow a
ffofo iu four-fifths of a day ; B can mow it in seven eighth*
of a diy; bow loug would it take A and B to mow what
remained, after A had been mowing two fifths of a day and
B two-fourths of a day 7” Now lam much mistaken if you
will flud one out of three-fourths of all the young men who
.come from our Universities aud Colleges whuhaviug heard
the above question, or ouo similar to it, read, baviug never
seen it before—l say lam much mistaken if you will find
one who will commence without tho aid of pen, pencil or
board, and give an intricate solution, without any hesita
tion, and conclude with the correct answer. The. whole
audience were wrapt iu wonder aud astonishment. Tho
road of learning is a pleasant way fur the young disciple
when he has the lamp of intelligence to guide him and
point out hie errors. The Principal In a briiliaut scholar,
and devote# hi* whole time to tho instruction of his stu
dents, assisted by quiMfi-d teachers. During the evening
I listened to smut! fine Hp. e. tius by several of tbe young
men. interspersed with tnur-ic. The examination was truly
a remarkable one, considering that tbe classes were totally
ignorant as to where they would be examined. The school
is iu a flourishing condition, and, from what I have seen,
lam convicted that no one can remain there any length
of time, if he have any capacity, without corniug forth a
thorough scholar. Churchtown is a delightful situation,
and is remarkable for being one of the moat healthy places
in our county. No cane of sicknoss has eTor occurred
within this Institution. The next session will commence
on the first Monday in November. It boa our best wished
for its succor* aud prosperity. A Spxctator.
Principal ok tub Washington Institute.
—Mr. Batt having declined the situation to which he waa
elected, by tho Board of Managers of this Institution, Mr.
Joseph D. Nichols, of Straaburg, has been chosen in bis
place. Mr. Nichols, we are informed, i* in every respect a
good man for tho place, and a teacher of extended experi
ence. Tho School will now certainty open under most
favorable auspices, and let us hope that it may receivo
from Columbia tho support required to make it a first-class
school. It is expected that tbe Institute will bo prepared
for the reception of scholars by the middle of tho present
month. —Qilumbia Spy.
In Philadelphia.— Tho Fenoiblea’ and
Iloptlng’s Bands left for Philadelphia on Sunday morning,
having engagements for the grand Firemen's Parade which
was to take iu that city on yesterday.
Melancholy. — We learn that a lad named
White, about 16 years old, ramo to his death at Willow
Street, in this county, under the following circumstances :
On Thursday evening his sister was murried to a man
named Lyous, and after tho ceremony a band of “Cala
thumpians" made their appearance, who were finally invi
ted in and treated. Young White draukqulte freolyalong
with tho rest, and became so much intoxicated that ho lay
down on tho carpet, where the family concluded to leave
1.. m till morning. On entoring the room in the morning
they found him dead. Dr. Frick made a post-mortem ex.
aminatlon, and a corouer’s jury was summoned, whoso ver
dict has not yet been received; but we understand hla
death is solely owing to the excessive draughts of liquor ho
•wallowed.— Saturday 1 s Express.
Valuable Property.— We refer our read
ers who wish to purchase real estate to the numerous band
bills, now to circulation, advertising the sale of one of the
most valuable Store stands and Farms in the county the
property of Davies Wallace, sltuaiod In East Karl twp.—
This property is one of the most desirable in Laocaste
county, and for a person wishing to engage in the 'mercan
tile business offers an opportunity rarely to be mot with.
It is the oldest store stand in that part of tho county, and
has in all the changes of the times maintained to the
present day a profitable and substantial custom. It is
situated in one of tho wealthiest, most fertile and thickly
settled portions of the county, and has boon well knowu as
a store stand for the laßt sixtyyears. The neighborhood is
also one of tho healthiest in tho State. The Improvements
are f the most durable and excolleut kind, while the Und
(60 acres) is In the highest state of cultivation. We recom
mend this property to tho consideration of any persou
desirous of purchasing a pleasant country residence. The
day of sale will be on Tuesday the 20th inst. We under
stand that Mr. Wallace is determined to Belt, provided his
property reaches a reasonable market value. For further
particulars address Darios Wallace, Blue Ball, Lancaster
county.
Pennsylvania Legislature and Dr. Ket
bu's Pxctoril Btbup.—Koss, the correspondent of the
Evening Chronicle, in » letter to the Editor*, speaks in the
following eommeodatory term* of Dr. KejserV Peotoral
Syrup, for sale at Ileinitsh’s Drug Storo, l:j JJ. King street:
“Dr. Keyser’s Pectoral Syrup is highly axtollod here. I
have to note the fact a* giTen to me by several of the
members, who have mide us of the Syrup. They state that,
by the nse of a bottle of thi* invaluable Cough Syrupflhey
have been relieved of a distressing Cough that caused them
much trouble. It Is but Justice to the Doctor to say that
they are loud In th«ir praise of this Medicine, aqd should
the Doctor deem it advisable to appoint an agent hern it
wuuld be to his advantage, as the Syrup would meet with
a ready sale. It Is pronounced good.”
Blessings of Banks !
Banks make money plenty. Suppose a
tavern keeper should act upon their system •
should take a gill of brandy as a basis, and
then make it plenty by pouring a gallon of
water into it. The brandy would become
plenty to be sure, and as worthless as irre
deemable bank paper rags. As to banks
making money plenty, it is all a make-believe,
as much as it would be for boys to put a oigar
into a shoe and call it a steamboat. The
banks make real money scarce, by looking it
up in their vaults and shipping it out of the
country.
But banks it is said encourage a spirit of
public enterprise—they enable us to build
cities, construct roads and canals. Were there
never any cities, roads or canals, until paper
money banks were incorporated ? And can
it be proved ta.the conviction of sober reason
that a magnificent city filled with luxury, ex
travagance, mock joy and real sorrow, is bet
ter than a fruitful and well cultivated country.
Is it better to see a few rioting in dissipation
and vice, incurring enormous debts through
the instrumentality of bank credit which the
laborer has ultimately to pay, than to see a
happy, thriving, virtuous population, engaged
in the various branches of productive industry
and useful occupation? We admit that the
bank credit system does a great deal for a few
favored individuals, enabling them to build
princely mansions, fill them with gorgeous
furniture, stock their cellars with the choicest
wines, and load their tables with the most
costly viands; that it enables many without
a dollar of actual property, earned by useful
toil, to ride in a splendid coach, repose upon
a couch of down, and realize all the advan
tages of prodigious wealth. But what does
it do for the farmer who industriously culti
vates his acres and obtains in return for con
tinued toil, only enough to sustain him in the
execution of his task? h'at does it do for
the poor meobanic, whose lap-stone or anvil
rings all the day with the clink of his incessant
hammer ? What does it do for those who -are
the very pillars and foundation on which so
ciety rests, and without which society could
not exist? If government has privileges to
give, surely those who build opr houses, and
furnish our tables with food, and fight our
battles, are as muoh entitled to receive them
as the mere buyer and seller of silks and laces,
or the blower of stock bubbles. Your bank
credit system may fostpr the privileged few—■
but it ruins thp many ; it may build palaoes
in the town, but it leaves the cabin in the
country to fall into ruin. It may afford
luxury and profusion to some, but it spreads
vice, ignorance, and penury among the others.
The paper money system endangers the whole
economy of life, unsettles the balance of in
dustry, and leads with inevitable certainty, at
periodical intervals, to such explosion# as the
one which has now covered the land with ruin.
The system in other countries has reduced the
land ow Dor ® tenants —the master first to a
journeyman and then to a dependant— and
has finally resulted in bloody revolutions.—
When therefore the whole power of this coun
try shall be placed in the bands of a few by
means of corporations, when all industry shall
be under the shackles of corporate power, who
then will vote, who will make the laws—and
to what end will laws be mad Q.->-PhilacUlphia
