This celebrated Railroad began in the woods 'and ended nowhere, and remains now grown over with bushes and weeds, a monument of the folly and reckless extrava gance of the Ritner administration. The "Bncitssor IV.aa," another of the outrages of the Ritner administration, cost the Commonwealth the immense sum of ONE HUNDRED AND FORTY—SEVEN THOUSAND DOLLARS ! This, too, is to be charged to STEVENS' account current, as without hie "aiding and abating," that wicked attempt to overturn the government never would have been made. The " CONTESTED ELECTION CASE " of last fall, cost the county of Lancaster at least THREE THOUSAND DOLLARS ! This also must be charged to STEVENS, who was the prime mover in this second attempt to set aside the decision of the people at the ballot boxes, and it goes also to show the recklessness of the man, and the facility with which he will squander the public funds to 'suit his own ambitious purposes. Here, then, are three instances (we might enumerate many more) which go to show what this Yankee adventurer has cost the good people of Pennsylvania.

THE COUNTY CONVENTION The Democratic County Convention will meet at Fulton Hall, to morrow, and we hope that the delegates will all come together in a kind and conciliatory spirit, resolved to act harmoniously, and in ,such a way as to strengthen and consolidate the party. Let there be no heart burnings—no firebrands thrown in to distract the deliberations of the Convention; but let all move together as a band of brothers, resolved to make any neces sary sacrifices for the general good, and may the motto of each be—''ievery thing furthe cause and nothing for men." The Convention will have a great responsi bility resting upon it. The success or defeat of our party will depend almost entirely upon its action—hence the necessity for prudent and cautious deliberation, as well in reference to the selection of candidates, as in the con struction of the platform upon which they are to stand. By pursuing the right course, and having a good ticket of unobjectionable men in nomination, we have a fair chance to beat our Republican opponents. May we not, therefore, hope that wise and muderate court: eels will prevail, and that the Convention will discharge its important duties in such a way as that the happiest consequences will result to the party in this county fur many long years to come. FREEDOM OF THE PRESS 1 The late WILLIAM DixoN, the founder of The Lancaster Intelligencer, was not only prosecuted, but persecuted during the Reign of Terror, under the administration of the elder Adams, for publishing the truth about certain leading Federalists and opponents of the Democratic party during that dark period in our country's history. So we, an humble follower of Mr. DIXON, more than half a century later, have the at tempt made upon us, by a broken down leader of that same party, to silence our pen and the same press in reference to his political conduct and monstrosities. The Black Cockade party of 1799-1800 foiled to intimidate Mr. DIXON so will the Black Republican party of 1858 fail in their effort to silence us. The Intelli gencer of that Oriod battled heroically fir the rights and liberties of the people and of the pres9—sti will The-Intelligencer of the present period. Mr. STEVENS, may, if he chooses, bring a suit against us every week, from now to the election, and after it for any thing we care ; but wo shall, nevertheless, adhere to the straight-forward course we have always pursued since wo had control of a press, and shall speak plainly and pointedly of his polit iced and personal cht.raeter in connexion with the high office to which he aspires. We shall say of him that he is a bold, had man—a reckless and dangerous politician—utterly unworthy to represent this district in the National legislature, and we shall give his character to our readers in language that can not be misunderstood. STEVENS IS DOOMED: Our information from every part of the county is sufficient to satisfy us that THAD DEUS STEVENS is a doomed man, and that his defeat is certain on the second Tuesday of October. The National men of the old Whig party in every district are up in arms against him, and nothing can save him, if the De mucracy are true to themselves. Lancaster is no Abolition county. A large majority of our people have always been opposed to this negro excitement, and STEVENS never could have obtained a prominence here had the National element been arrayed against him, as it is at the present time. The Kan sas humbug is at letrgth expl.eled, and our people are beginning to think it is full time to consult their own interests, and let the people of other States and Territories take care of themselves and manage their own domestic affairs in their own way, as they have an undoubted right to do under the Federal Constitution. Mr. STEVENS cannot represent the true wishes and feelings of our people, in Congress, because the one idea that engiosses all hi, thoughts is niggerism and slavery. And even were he capable of divesting his mind of this foul and pestilent heresy, he would be 'destitute of influence and could accomplish nothing at Washington, so utterly obnoxious is he to a large majority of the representa tives from other States. Our people know this full well—hence the opposition to his election which is now manifesting itself in every direction. We repeat the prediction that STEVENS is a doomed man, and neither the power of money or other appliances can save him from an overwhelming defeat. STEVENS' TAPE WORM "Is was folly to commence, and.to perse .vere in it will be madness." This was the significant and appropriate language used by the Hon. John Strohm, of this county, in reference to the so called Gettysburg Railroad, the bantling of THADDEUS STEVENS, the pro jection and progress of which, under the Ritner administration, added at least A MIL— LION OF 'DOLLARS to the permanent debt of the Commonwealth; and which, had it not been suspended by Governor Porter, would have swollen the debt from one to two millions more! And all this to benefit STEVENS' Iron Works; for, exclusive of that, the con templated road would not have benefited a solitary individual along the entire line of thirty-five miles! The only trade upon it, independently of the Furnace, would have been hoop-poles and huckleberries ! Mr. STEVENS 'dipped his hand deep down into the treasury of the State, during the Ritner adminis i tration, of which he was the acknowledged 'leader and manager ; and be now wants another turn at the coffers of Uncle Sam where the pickings are much greater.— His leadership of the opposition party in this State, from 1835 to 1838, cost the State many millions of dollars—his leadership of the dominant party at home, last fall, cost Lan caster county several thousands ; and if he should unfortunately be sent to Congress, his reckless extravagance of the public funds will be manifest at every fitting opportunity. Let the tax payers of this district reflect on these things before it is Loo late. The public record of the Republican candidate is one of infamous notoriety. What he would do in the future, can be determined by what he has done in the past, and any man who votes for him-cannot plead ignorance of his antecedent history. Be warned in time. The Daily and Weekly Express come up manfully to the support of Mr. STEVENS—the former insidiously, the latter openly and above 'board I " Birds of a feather always fleck together." It would be surprising if the Black Repoblican editors and proprietors of that establishment should pursue any other • course: IME= We ask the people of Lancaster county to look at these figures and carefully digest them. Here is a sum total of stir ELEVEN HUNDRED AND FIFTY THOUSAND DOLLARS, of the publio money wasted, every cent of which is justly chargeable to the Black Republican member of Congress. Will you—can you, in the face of such a record, consent to return this man to Con press to squander millions more in the schemes of extravagance which are daily concocted in the Federal Metropolis? It cannot be that the honest farmers and mechanics of this great county will so far lose sight of their own dearest interests as to commit so suicidal an act. Will they not rather, when election day arrives, be found voting for the Democratic candidate, and thereby put their seal of dis approbation upon STEVENS and his party ? THE ELECTION FRAUDS OF 1838 Most of our readers, we presume, will recollect something of the startling frauds perpetrated on the ballot-box, in 1838, at the time TIIADDEUS STEVENS was Canal Corn missioner under the inglorious adminis tration of Governor Ritner. They will recol lect- the enormous outrage committed at Millerstown, near his Furnace, in Adams county. In that district which contained about 300 legal voters, all told, Ritner had some 1200 votes deposited for him ; and this was accomplished by the most bare faced and unblushing outrage on the purity of the eleo tive franchise which was ever perpetrated in Pennsylvania. At the same election similar frauds .were perpetrated at Halifax and Youngwomanstown districts, up the river, and at various other points in the Commonwealth. And to cap the climax of political infamy, this same man attempted to set the clearly expressed will of the people of the whole State at defiance, and cheat Governor Porter out of his election, although chosen by an undisputed majority of more than eight thou• sand votes ! hence the enormous expense the Treasury was subjected to, growing out of the Buckshot War. A politician so dishonest as STEVENS has proved himself to be, when he was' the power behind the throne, greater than the throne itself" in our good old Commonwealth, is not the man to represent the honest and intel ligent yeomanry of Lancaster county, in the halls of Congress—nor will he be endorsed by our people. That Such a dangerous and unprincipled demagogue should be prefered in a Lancaster County Convention over the heads of such excellent and unexceptionable men as A. Herr Smith, E. C. Darlington, David W. Patterson and the ott.r candidates spoken of for the nomination, is passing strange indeed! It was a gross insult, not only to those gentle- men and their friends, but an outrage inflicted on the district itself: We venture to say that in no other Congressional district in the State —save \Vilmot's, and even that would be doubtful—could THADDEUS STEVENS have got the compliment of a nomination, so odious has he become in a political point of view wherever he is known. NEGRO SYMPATHY. The people of Lancaster county, when they are called upon to vote the Abolition, Black Republican ticket—a ticket whose leading can didates have such a strong sympathy for niggerisru—should recollect the brutal mur der last winter, of Mrs. REAM and Mrs. GARBER, by the negroes Anderson and Rich ards. They should also recollect the terrible riot at Christiana, a few years ago, and the murder of Goisnot!, by a horde of Negroes, aided and abetted by the white Abolitionists of that region. Let them also recollect the robberies, burglaries and arsons committed by these degraded wretches in various parts of the county, and the time consumed and money expended at each session of our Quarter Scs sions, in prosecuting the black and disgusting rabble who infest the Court Room. Let the people reflect on all this, and then say, by their votes, whether they desire such a state of things to be perpetuated in our midst. If they do, they will vote fur THADDEUS STEVENS, and his Abolition colleagues on the County ticket—if not, they will vote the Democratic ticket, and thus " crush out" Niggerism and its deliterious influences from our midst. THE BALLOON PARTY It is shrewdly suspected by the knowing ones, that the principal reason why the late Republican County Convention selected the presiding officer they did, was that, in the event of their defeat in October, he might construct a balloon and ship the whole party on an aerial voyage to the head waters of Salt River, with the least delay possible. KEEP IT BEFORE THE PEOPLE 1 Keep it before the tax payers of Lancaster county, that the attempt of THADDEUS STEVENS to treat the election of WILLIAM CARPENTER, last fall, as a nullity, cost them the round sum of THREE THOUSAND DOLLARS ! And let the voters think of this when they come to deposit their votes for Congressman at the ensuing October election. SUSPENSION OF THE DAILY TlMES.—Saturday evening's issue ended the publication of the Daily Times. We apprehend it has been • losing concern to the proprietors all through its history—hence the suspension. They prom. ise, however, to start it again, after a short period, as a political daily—of the Black Re publican stripe, of course. We doubt, how_ ever, whether even that can be made to pay in Lancaster. It is understood that the Times has changed hands—rumor assigning Mr. J. J. COCHRAN, of this city, formerly of York, as the purchaser. Qom' "DONEGAL" is unavoidably crowded out. It shall appear in our next. By the way, we would suggest brevity to our correspondents at this particular time. OPINIONS OF TOLE PRESS The suit instituted by Mr. Srevess against 010 edit ar of this paper, is thus noticed by some (Jf our exchanges : From the Lancaster Examiner. pir The lion. Thaddeus Stevens has insti tuted suit against the publisher of the Intelli gencer for libel ; in consequerce, probably, of the free remarks upon himself contained in that paper last week. 1 This step strikes us as a most singular and impolitic one. Impolitic, because it will and can bear no other interpretatian than an at. tempt to overawe the preys on the eve of an important election and to prevent that free discussion of the character and qualifications of men occupying or seeking iofficial station which is the only safeguard of our liberties. Singular, because there is no ode in the county who more habitually exercises the utmost rights of free speech and free press than the gentleman who brings this suit and his special newspaper organ. Even in his speech accept ing the nomination, he went out of his way to cast a stone at the President, which stone naturally brought a rejoinder—and on the first broadside the assailant incontinently fled to the protection of the law. His creed is certainly not that of the poet who sings "The mercy I to others .how, That mercy show to me." From the West Chester Jettersonian HARD PUSHED—DESPERATE.--Thaddeus Ste vens, the bitterest slanderer of honest men's characters that ever practiced at the Court bar, has sued the editor of the Lancaster Intelli gencer, for some fancied wrong against him, since his nomination to Congress by the anti- Masons of Lancaster county. Verily, Thad. must he in his dotage, if not ahsoluiely demen ted. A man who has wrecked more characters impugning their honesty as witnesses should be the last to set up a plea of libel, or to at tempt to bolster up his own character by a cowardly attempt to muzzle the press by threats and law. But he has caught a Tar tar. $l, 150,000 From the Philadelphia Argue PROSECUTION FOR LlBEL.—Thaddeus Stevens, the Republican candidate fur Congress in the Lancaster Distriet, has prosecuted Colonel Sanderson, of the Lancaster Intelligencer, fur libel. Thaddeus must be getting very chary of his reputation lately, but it will require more than one white-washing by a Court to purify him in the estimation of the people. gee - Thaddeus Stevens, of back window memory, has instituted suit against the editor of the Lancaster Inlelligencer. Thaddeus is the Black Republican candidate for Congress, and thinks by this means to silence the Demo cratic press of Lancaster county. A REVENUE TARIFF As there is a good deal said just now about an increase of the tariff, it is well to call the attention of our readers—espe..dally those of them who were known as Henry Clay Whigs —to the following extracts from a speech and letters of that distinguished statesman : HENRY CLAY ON THE TARIFF " Carry out the spirit of the Compromise Act. Look t m revenue alone for the support of government. D, not raise the question of protection, which I had hoped had been put to rest. There is no necessity of protection for protection." Mr. Clay in the Senate, January 21. 1842, in reply to Mr. Woodbury, on the treasury note bill. " I never was in favor of what is .regarded a high tariff. No more revenue should be levied than is necessary to an economical ad ministration of the government." Mr. CI my to Mr. Meriwether of Georgia, October 2d, 1843. " I never was in favor of duties being en high as to amount to a prohihitiori of articles oh which they were laid. I have thought it best fir all interests that there should he com petition." Mr. Clay to Messrs. Brenham and Bledsoe, of Georgia, July Bth. 1843. The Compromise Act of 1833 brought the duties down to 20 per cent. in June 1842, yet in 1843, and after it had been fairly tried, Mr. Clay was in favor of continuing them at 20 per cent, on all articles imported. This is the lowest duty levied since 18'44. As the same rate of duty, under the tariff of '46, is called free trade, what will the opposition call Mr. Clay's favorite measure? HON. WILLIAM A. PORTER The Ebensburg Denzorrat, in noticing a re cent visit of Judge Porter to JCihnstown, says: "Our talented and popular candidate for Su preme Judge was in our town several days last week, and, of course, made quite a favora ble impression on the minds of the Democracy of the Mineral City, who became acquainted with him during his stay. We regret that he had not time to visit Ebensburg and , breathe a little of its pure mountain air. The pros pests of Judge Porter's election, by an over whelming majority, are every day growing brighter. The Democracy everywhere are united in his support, while his great personal popularity will secure him many Opposition votes. The Opposition leaders, it is true, are extremely anxious to defeat him ; but they are already beginning to give up the chase in despair. No man in the State is better quali fied for the Supreme Bench than Judge Porter. His public record is spotless, while his private character is without a stain. The Democracy of Cambria will declare in his favpr by alarge majority—as large, if not larger, than that in favor of Mr. Buchanan in 1856." VICE PRESIDENT BRECKENRIDGE.-A Ken tucky correspondent of the Herald makes the following remarks upon Vice President Breck enridge, who is now at his home in Kentucky : —The Vice President since his return home has been attending to the arduous duties of his profession, save the small portion of time spent in stump-speaking. Lie and his partner, James B. Beek, a Sootchman by birth, get one of the largest and most lucrative practices in the State. Bock is comparatively young, a self made man, and for legal acumen and learning has but few superiors in the State. The Vice President is now as much a leader of the Democracy as ever Mr. Clay was of the Whig party. They know that his oratorical powers are not excelled by those df any man in the Union ; that be is not a politician in the common acceptation of the term ; that he is neither selfish nor a trickster ; in fact, that he is a statesman, worthy to have been a peer of Clay, Calhoun and Webster. They will fol. low his lead, because they know he will lead them right. 16th CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT No nomination for Congress has yet been made by the Democratic Conferees of this Die trict. They had balloted one hundred and nine times, up until Thursday morning last, and still the vote stood 3 for Ant, 3 fur FISHER, and 3 for MCINTIRE. The Conference then adjourned over until the 16th inst., when they will try it again. The American and Republican Conventions of New York, which met last week, failed to form a coalition, over which Greely is shedding tears of sorrow. Each party has nominated a full State ticket. The Democracy will walk over the course without any trouble, in the Empire State, this fall. A SIGNIFICANT CHANGE : We have another triumph to record in Wil mington, Delaware. Last year, the opposition candidate for Mayor was elected by 358 majority ; this year, at the election held last Tuesday, Mr. Young, the Democratic candi date for the Mayoralty, succeeded by eleven majority I The tide of our triumphs will roll on, until every vestige of fanaticism is swept to oblivion.

From the Perry Democrat CANNOT FUSE! THE CEiRONIOLIts OP WOOLLY-DOM 1=3:1 1. and there am great tnspilstion And bitter wailing in the conntry of the Cntestosa, known in ancient times as the - Old Onsrd" of the land of Penn. 2. For It came to pave that the peaple rebelled against OM authority of Bing Thaddeus, mid many of the eaptalor, and mighty men, and young men of valor, refuted any longer to submit to the yoke which he had impoeid upon them. 2.. Now Thaddeus the King hailed from the East sen try, and was noted as the champion of the woolly tribe.— He bad eh* the whole dusky race enlisted in his army, and his banner was emblematic of negro equality. 4. And the chief captains, and mighty men, and young men of valor, said: See this man has ruled tha good people of our realm with a rod of Iron for many years,- ever since he came from the west country of Aflame and we have been his bondsmen and alavee ; but we shall be so no more. 5. And they cast of their allegiance, and sounded the trumpet of freedom throughout the length and breadth of the laud, saying, every man to his tent, 0 Israel! 8. And they took aol oath that day—being the five and twentieth day of the eighth month—they, and their wives and their children, that they would encounter the tyrant and his emissaries with fire and sword. and never lay down their arms until the great King Thaddeus and their woolly headed adversaries were prostrate beneath their feet. 7. And they said—go to, let us seek an alliance with the tribe known as Democracy—a host of valiant men, led on by honorable and high-minded el:flattens, the followers of J toms, a mighty man of valor, the father of his people, and let us enlist under his banner, and do battle valiantly for our children. our fire sides and our homes. 8. And all the people said amen. And the various tribes came over by hundreds and by fifties to the camp of De mocracy, and enlisted for the war. 9. And it came to pass that proclamation was issued from the camp of Democracy, that an assembly of the great Sanhedrim would be held in the Hall called Fulton, in the City of the great Chief, on the fifteenth day of the ninth month, when a Captain would be chosen to lead the em battled host on to glorious victory. 10. And the woolly-head King and his myrmidons were in sore tribulation, and they mid 10l Isaac and Edward and David and Berjenin and John, with the entire tribe known in our former wars as the Silver Gray wing of the "Old Guard " have deserted us and gone over to the ene my, and we are this day in great danger of being trampled under foot by r ur enemies. 11. And they said, go to, let ns silence their principal bittery, and let us capture George, the chief gunner, bind him hand and foot, and band him over to the tender mer. c'es of Benjamin surnamed Rowe. our valiant and trust• w”rthy Chid Bailiff, and the enemy will be disheartened and discomfited. 12. And the saying pleased the old woolly-head King, and he directed his trusty and well-beloved Lieutenants, Oliver and Ed card, to capture George, whereupon the disciples of woolly-headiem present gave three loud bus. cabs, and said great is our lord and king Thaddeus—great is the m ighty monarch of the woolly-head till°. 13 But George, nothing daunted, continued to direct his battery with skill and effect, and surrounded himself with true-hearted and courageous men, from whose pree• ence the minions of Bing Thaddeus slunk away to their . ens with fear and trembling. 14. So endeth the first chapter of the chronicles of the woolly.head war in the valley of the Conestoga; and the grand army of the great chieftain James, with trumpete sounding and colon; flying, are preparing for the mighty conflict. We copy the two subjoined communications from the Lancaster Examiner of Wednesday last. They show up the Abolition candidate for Congress in his true light : For the Examiner & Herald A Candidate 11leannred by hi own Standard. We have scriptural authority for saying "by the same measure that ye meet ailhal the name shall be measured to you again." By this standard let us try the Hon.l'had• d-us Stevens. and see what claims he has on account of be ing a nmninaled candidate. Mr. Stevens was n member of the COCIVOI/t1.13 to emend the Constitution in 1838. which instrument he refused to sign, because it did not allow the black man to vote—he being the only insubordinate inerob •r of that body He GM. to Lin.ster county in 184:1, and in 184:3 he " re-orgithized " the anti.masonic party, cud ran Anthony E. Roberts for Cougreis in opposition to Jeremiah Brown, the regular Whig ca'-didn'e. In 1044 he supported Henry Witmer for Congress in op position to John Strohtn the regular Whig candidate. In 1845 he supported Wet. Noble for the State Senate, in opposition to A. Hort . Smith, the regain,. Whig candidate. In 1846 ha supported it. C. Heigart for Congress, in oppo. sition to John Strohm, the regular Whig candidate. In 1843 and 1850 be was himself a cadidate on the Whig ticket, and then for the first time as also the last time., gave It his support. In 1852, although the Whig early had given him a cor dial support on both 0 , 4,4,114 When n iliniihtire. be did his best to defeat louse E. H ester. the regular Whig candidate.

While a me nber of Congress. in 1851, he seceded from the Whig caticii4,l..cau-ie n resolution w offered approving of the compromise mensurts which Clay. Webster end Fill more had suicetsied in carrying through Congress the pre ceding session. It will be seen from this record of facts. that Mr. Stevens on no occasion supported the Whig ticket in Lancaster county except whon he was himself a candidate noon It. Web what propriety him friends con now nail Whiaa to support him, voters ran Judge for themselves. Do his friends want him to be tried by his own standard? For the Examiner A: Herald Mr.-EDITOR :—The Republican party of Lancaster county had lisped that the la," Convention would Select a candid ate for our representative in Congress who could be con. view iously supported by the party. Butts the nomination of Thaddeus Stevens. E•q., these hopes and wishes have been frustrated. In thus outraging the public sentiment of the party, the question naturally arises, What has Mr. Stevens done to entitle him to this considerations? He bas been in public lite many years es a member of the State Legislature. as Canal Commissioner,. a member of the Reform Convention to amend the Constitution of the State, and as a member of Congr as. But in all these capacities f public employment the record Is senreheil in vain for a single act of public good that has been achieved through the agency 01 Thaddeus Stevens. On the contrary every measure that emanated from any of the public bodies of which he was a member, which resulted In ruin to the people, or which received the odium of the public, Thaddeus Stevens is found to have advocated and supported. As a memlktr of the State Legislature anti possessing entire con trol over the mind of the then Executive. G,v. Ititner, he comet ved as part of a plan of public improvements, the cele brated t' TAPE WORM ItAltacoaD," leading from Gettysburg, through a mountainous region, to Wav nesburg—an im provement that would not get sufficient business from one point of its terminus to the other, to buy the fuel for a Pcomntive. Upon this Utopian improiement, through the agency of Thadd-us Stevens. several millions of dollars, were expended without the remotest prospect that the road would ever be of service to the public. But Mr. Stevens was the owner of n furnace and ore batik on the line of this road, and with him several millions of dollars of the money of the tax pavers was no obstacle to the advancemeut of his own selfish interests. Another act in the legislative history of Pennsylvania, conceived and Carrie I through by the agency of Thaddeus I , tevens, was the incorporation of the United States Bank of Pennsylvania, an institution which by its failure, en tailed more misery upon the people of the Commonwealth than all the bank failures combined, than have occurred from the first Incorporation of banks in this State to the present time. Chartered with a gigantic capital of Thirty five Mil ions of Dollars. the intention of lie Pandora wee to use It for the purpose of controlling the politics of the country. In tour sears time it failed; its entire capital was squandered; and widows and orphans. wt, se meant had been invested In its stock. were reduced from opulence and ease. to beggary and want, and thrown upon.tho cold charities of the world for support. Although more than a quarter of a century has elapsed. and many of the unfortu nate victims of that villainous institution have descended to their graves, yet the frauds psepetrated in the concep tion, Incorporation and management of that mammoth swindling es•ablishment(painful subjects as they are for reflection) are fresh in the minds of the people of Pennsyl vania. Another public measure devised by Thaddeus Stevens, when a member of the State Legislature. was the inquisi tion, net on foot to inquire into the secrete of Free-Masonry ; an inquisition as odious in Its character and as invasive of the ■ ,trod and inalienable rights of man as the holy im:118- We° of Spain, whose chains and racks and tortures are a stain and a diggraee to the pages of that nation's history. But Thaddeus Stevens—bold for mischief—cared nothing for the constitutional rights of the citizen, cared nothing for the spirit of republican government In violation of these he sought to transfer to the peaceful soil of Pennsyl vania an odious inquisition, for the sole purpose of making capital for a part. which by the bad choice of himself had sunk in public estimation. Thaddeus Stevens represent.d this district In Congress for f ur years during an administration tavorable ton pro tective tariff. But let us a-k ourselves what did he do to. wards procuring a change or modification of the tariff of 1846? This was a question in which his constltuentewere directly interested. The record shows that he did nothing for them towards procuring egislation to j proteof, home Industry. And the result will Is 3 the name if he should unfortunately represent this district iq Congress for an other term Rio ability is unt fthe kind to aubservo the interests of his cnnstituents in tits National Congress—and the people of this district will vote to keep him at home, without regard to party considerations. THE COTTON CROPS.-A letter to the New Orleans Crescent, dated Pickens, Miss., Au gust 20, says In regard to the cotton crop in this section of the county, up to a few days back, it looked well. The crops generally have had better prospects for a large yield than for several years past, but, within the last few days, I learn that the boll worm has commenced its ravages ; also, the army of cotton worms has made its appearance on many plantations, and already destroyed fifty acres on one plantation. Up to this time, the boll worm has been the most destructive. One of my neighbors inform ed me yesterday, that they had destroyed half of the crop on many places, and are doing very great damage to his own cotton, as well as the army worm. I have just been over my place, and find that one field of one hundred acres is cut short one fourth, and the worm still at work, boring through full grown bolls, a thing I have never known before. In the same field the army worm has made its appearance.— Corn crops are generally good in this county. It rains about enough here fur the growing crops. VERMONT ELECTION The Republi..ans have carried the State— electing Governor, Lieutenant Governor, Treas urer, and Congressmen by large majorities.— Nothing better was expected in that benighted region. Vermont has always been opposed to the Democracy, and we suppose will always remain in opposition.

DESTRUCTIVE FIRE.—A fire broke out on Sunday evening, about 8% o'clock, In a small building adjoining Gable's Tobacco Warehouse, in West Chestnut street, which before it could be got under de stroyed several frame out-buildings belonging to Mr. Gable, the frame bakery attached to Gruel's Confectionery, Gruel's stable, Reese's extensive Livery Stables, and a small log house formerly a part of Haldy's Marble Works. A frame dwelling house belonging to Mr. Gruel, io the occupancy of Mr. John Hughes, was badly damaged, and a great part of Mr. H. 'a furniture rendered unfit for use. Gable's To, bacoo Warehouse was on fire several times, but the prompt ness and untiring energy of the Firemen saved it from destruction. Mr. Reese succeeded In saving all his horses, vehicles and harness, but the other contents of his stables were all destroyed. The immense back building of his new hotel was also on fire, but the prompt exertions of the Fire Department saved it from much damage. His loss, how ever, cannot be much loss than $2500. Had there been a wind prevailing there is no telling whatamount of damage might have been done. The block in which the fire occurred is otia of the most valuable in the city. The fire, we are informed, was the work of an Incendiary. THE MILITARY DISPLAY ON WEDNESDAY.— The display of the Military of this County on Wednesday last was the finest which has taken place for many years. The city was at an early hour astir with the martial music and heavy tramping' of military men. The day was fine. but the heat of the sun was intense. The different compa nies, however, bore up under the penetrating influences of old Sore rays with a bravery and fortitude chararteriStie of veterans in the service. The Ilaytown Infantry, (by the way, one of the neatest looking and beet drilled companies on parade.) arrived in the 73,; o'clock train on Tuesday evening, and weee re ceived at the Depot by the Lancaster Fencibles, win escorted them to their quarters at Youart's Exchange Hotel, East King street. The Fenciblee, together with the 'prim', good fellows" of the Jackson Itltl a, did the •agreenlie," and the Maytowners, who are gentlemen in every respect, were nearly borne down with the attentions paid them. On Wednesday morning, at S o'clock. the Feneiblea assembled at their Armory, for escort duties. They looked magnificently as usual. Their correct soldierly tearing and fine martial appearance were alike the theme of citizen and etranger. The full dress unif,rm of this crack corps consists of a blue cap, wi , h white plume and blue pompoon, dark blue frock cost and sky blue pants. the wlede band acutely trimmed with white. The fatigue dress consists of a dark blue roundabout for winter, and a light linen one for summer use, and a pretty blue cap. The company, we understand, are about adopting a heavy overcoat for winter service. They now stand at the bend of the Pen nylvania Soldiery, for discipline, appearance and drill, and no com pany in the State is better or more ta,.tyfully equipped. The other companies composing the Brigade arrived in good time on Wednesday morning and were escorted to their different quarters by the Fencibles and Maytown Infantry. In the mean time the city rapidly filled up with etrangers, and the streets presented a gay, he liday appearance. Flags were displayed from the Armories r f our city companies and the head quarters of the stranger military, making a truly enlivening scene to the eyes of beholders. The line wan formed at 2 o'clock, p m.. in Centre Square The City Hall and other buildings were crowded in the most available eight-seeing places by the dear, gentler sex, who witnessed the manoeuvres of the "bold, soldier boys" with the greatest possible interest. Col. Amweg. the Brigade Inspector, arrived on the ground about half-paet 2 o'clock. and, immediately after the inspeeti .n of the Jackson Rifles, the line of march was taken up in the following order, over the previously published route: Lancaster Fencibles-45 rank end file. Captain, John H. Duchman; Ist Lieutenant, Emien Franklin; 2d Lieu ',tenant, Michael H. Locher; Quartermaster, Dr. William Whiteside; Surgeon. Dr. Henry Carpenter. On this oc casion the command of the company devolved upon Lieut. Franklin, in consequence of Capt. Duchman acting in the capacity of Major Commandant. The company's Band discoursed their most eloquent strains. Our opinion as to the superb qualities of title Bend has been so often expressed that it is not deemed necessary here to say a word, further than to remark that we never neard them perform en well as on Wednesday. The Earl Infantry, New Holland. Captain, Isaac Hell; let Lieutenant, H. S. Shirk; 2d Lieutenant, Jacob Hull; Surgeon, Dr. Samuel Ringwalt. They numbered 40 rank and file. The uniform le a blue cap and pompoon, blue frock coat and sky blue pante, with white stripe... This company's Band is an excellent one, and attracted consid erable attention during the day. The martial mueloof the Ringgold Artillery, of Reading, also accompanied Capt. Hull's company, and It was gloriously soul stirring. The hlaytown Infantry-38 rank and file. This company wore the complete Army uniform, viz: the Koesuth or black felt hat, with small black feather on the right side. blue trek coat and pante, with yellow stripe. Captain, John F. Gephart ; let Lieutenant, S. Book; 2d Lieutenant, H. A. Ildnee. The Manh-im Rifles-50 rank and file. Their uniform AN OLD WLIIG is a blue cap with green plume, blue frock coat and pacts with yellow stripe. They marched and looked exceedingly well. Captain, Frederick Ensmlnger; let Lieutenant, Ab raham Stouffer; 21 Lieutenant, Andrew J. Eby. They were accompanied with very fi.,e martial musk. The Washington Rifles, Mount Joy. Captain, D. F. Morenzy; Ist Lieutenant, A. Egenrode; 2d Lleutenst, John H. Brenneman. Their uniform consists of a blue cap and pompoon, blue frock coat anti sky-blue pants, with green trimmings. A beautiful flag, presented to them by the ladies of Mount Joy, woo carried in the line, and attracted much attention. The Band, under the leadership of Prof. Gates, elicited a full share of approbation. The Jackson Rifles had the second post of honor. 125 rank and file, and numbering with the Band 140. They wore fully equipped in their new and beautiful uniforms—blue cap and green pompoon tipped with white, dark blue frock c wit and pants with green trimmings. This is, indeed, a noble-looking body of young men—forming a battalion in themselves. Their commander, Capt. Hambright, Is de serving of all the praise bestowed on him on Wednesday. He was considered the fineet-Ictoking soldier in the whole line, and his company were the "observed of all observers." Lancaster now boasts, and rightfully too, of baring the best companies in the State, and she will enjoy that honor as long as a Duchman and Hambright are at the head of her military. We never remember of seeing a more orderly or better conducted body of men, and this was the remark of hundred.. Long life .to the Jackson Rifles and their gallant commander—one of Pennsylvania's bravest spirits on the battle fields of Mexico. The rifles used on this oc casion—the company not having so yet received their quota f. om the State—were from the celebrated Rifle Manufac- tory of Henry E. Leman, Esq., in Walnut street. Mr. L., with a generosity worthy of note, furnished each member one of his best rifles, and his kindness will doubtless long be gratefully remembered by the Jackson Rifles. We append a list of the officers Captain, Henry A. Hambright; let Lieutenant, Benjamin F. Cox; 24 Lieutenant, John Bees; 2d 2d Lieutenant, George W. McElroy; Quarter master, William T. Yonart; Surgeon. Dr. J. T. Baker. The credit of this parade is manly due to Captains Duchman and Hambright. These gentlemen did their utmost to make it what It really was—the finest display which the Lancaster county military have ever made. ELECTION OF Orricette.—At a meeting of the Empire Hook and Ladder Company, No. 1, held on Thursday evening last, in their Hall, South Duke street, the following officers were elected : President, Charles M.

MILITARY ELECTION.—An election for cora of a Regiment, to be formed out of the companies par ticipating in the Parade in this city, on Wednesday last, has been called at Fulton Hall, ou Monday next, by the Brigade Inspector, Col. Am w eg. The companies are ordered to assemble in full uniform at that time and vote for the following named officers: One Colonel, one Lieut. and one Major, to serve as Regimental Officers. The Path finder recommends Capt. Henry A.. Ilambright for the post of Major, and we cordially second the recommendation, at the same time respectfully suggesting the name of the veteran Hochman tor the Colonelship. HURFE KILLED.—On Wednesday aftern,s,n last, just before the forming of the Military parade, as the groom was bringing Gen. Bertram A. Shaeffer's horse out for Capt. Buchman to ride, as Major Commandant, the animal became frightened in front of ffendrii.k Plumbing establishment, North Quren street, and suddenly rearing threw himself over, striking his head against the curb, killing him Instantly. The groom, George Harris, sprang (torn the saddle, before the horse feel, thus Navii.g himself from a severe and perhaps fatal fall. De. N. B. WOLFS.—This gentleman, who has been on a temporary visit to hie old home in the Bor ough of Columbia, for the last two mouths, has left again for St. Louis, where ho has been successfully practising his profession for some time. Whilst a resident of this county he had hosts of friends, who admired his talents and affa bility of manner, and we do not doubt that, in his new home, he will be equally popular and useful. During his temporary visit, the Dr. treated quite a number of patients with diseases of the throat end hugs, under his new system of Medicated Inhalation, and was eminently successful. Ile carries with him the best wishes of all his ft lends in Lancaster county, for his future 81.71,116 and prosperity as a skilful and accomplished Physician, and as a very worthy and elitimable matt in all the relations of life. PHOTOGRAPHIC ENGRAVING.—ht this age of improvement and useful in‘eution. we are glad to see old Lancaster stbl in her place in the foremost ranks. We are led to make this remark from having presented for our examination, by Mr. C. E. Haves, a copy of Ph tographi,• engraving. executed by our ,townsman, Mr. R. W. Addis. of the Addis Photograph Gallery, East King street. The copy is a fac simile of n Bridge drawing and Town plot truly accurate in its most minute detail, and this, togoiher with the beauty 01 fini-h, must soon recommend it to Architects, Engineers, etc. Mr. Addis, vie understand, 11 in secured his discovery. and is about preparing to push this but.iness, which we think must succeed, if from nth I ig else, from the merit of the work itself. In fact, we look, at no distant day, to bee in place of poorly executed Colored Lithrigraphs, true fdc similes of the Architect or Engineer's design.

The military are out In full force, and now 00 the way to the Fair Grounds. Hundreds end thousands of pe , ple are on tt,e march, and we ehould not be surprised to hoar of 30,. 000 human beings attending the Fair to-day. Everything in excitement and commotion, and everything in the shape of a vehicle is brought into requisition for the purpose of conveying our citizens to the grounds—which are about three miler from the Court House. Many of the Western and Sou'hern States have sent stork. tie.. here to compete for the $21.000 premiums offered. which is the most liberal premium list ever offered In this country. We should think from the appearance of the stock which have arr.ved In this city. destined for the exhibition. that our Missouri friende will have to look well to their laurels, if many of . these prizes do not gn abroad. We certainly have the most beautiful spot for an exhibition of this kind that we have ever seen —the amphitheatre is one of th. , best con - stru rted in the country, arid the surrounding grounds meet beautifully and Maternity arranged. The Fair will ba the g-ent resort during tho week—continuing six days. We will speak further of our grand Western exhibition after we visit the grounds, and everything is In full blest.

A great deal of sickness prevails in the towns and country along the Missouri river, and the more virulent in the bottle regions, whore stagnant water was left by the floods of last spring. We also learn that nearly one hill the people living on the river margin of Callaway and Osage coon , les are sick, and the physicians are too 11l themselves to barge their du. ties.

Ac, have not decreased any from former weeks, and if any change is to note, they croon the Increase. Accidents an nnmerous as heretofore, and Coroner's it'll:Fiesta ho'ding their own Mr. Wm. Finney, a resident of 0114 city for the last thirty yearn. died on Saturday, in the 56th year o. his ego. Mr. Francis P. Blair, jr., finding no sympathy at home upon hie defeat. is determined to gain it abroad, if posni- Ve. De has notified Mr. Barrett that it is his Intention to contest his sent in Congress. _lle given nineteen reasons why be should retain his place as the representative of a people who have voted him out. He gives nineteen reasons fir claiming his seat, whilst the citizens of the city and c unty of St. Louis gave him sir handrext and twenty.sin reasons, In the Amine of eons. why he should not misrep resent them. Yet he thinks his 19 reasons should out weigh the 6'28 I Mr. Blair know.; as wall as anyb tly, that he can never get his seat in Congress by contesting the election here—but hie only hope is that the Week Re_ publicans will haven m tjority In the next Congress, and that they will then admit him.. If they dn null a thing as that, in the (see of 629 maj wity against him, they will do a mist damnable act—oua th tt has never bofore been done; they will render themselves corrupt Indeed—mach morse than we expert of so rf.ckleS% a sectional faction as the Black Republicans. We think, however. that there are morns honest men in the party, for if there were not, It would not be long before they would carry this Union to destruction—if they had the power. Mr. Blair only con testa the election for foreign capital—his career has been run here. His contesting Mr. Barrett's election amounts to nothing at home—everybody knows that Barrett was fairly and honestly elected, and the people wanted it Just as it has terminated. In it not folly for Mr. Blair to make any such contest when the people here cast over 12,000 .tes against him. The American candidate, Mr. Breckin inridge, is satisfied that Barrett has been elected; the voters are satisfied that-Blair has been defeated, but Mr Blair, himself, seems to be dissatisfied, and we have no 4 doubt but that he le, and we give him credit for putting on the best show for his defeat. Wo don't know exactly how he feels—not having ever been a candidate for a pub lit office—but we are under the Imprealon he feels very bad —any man fighting loch a cause, should feel bad. We think he will again be diaapp , inted In regard to the Black Republican strength in the next House of Representatives. Every man who gets Lie standing and position in the Democratic party, and then deserts it, deserves Just what Lisa befallen Mr. Blair. Would It not be well tor some of yonr " bolting" Democrats in Pennsylvania to take timely warning—it is inevitable—the crisis will come sooner or later—the Democracy own no traitors, but regard them as ten times more contemptible than the honest bitterest en emy. All such men mast go by the board, and after they hare gone the party will be the purer and the better. The official returns of the recent election in Kentucky joow a Democratic tux) rity in the State of 13,095! A rumor le current here that Gov. hardeon, of Ne braska, ham sent to Secretary Cass hie resigna , lon of the office be now holds. to take affect on the first of January next. The rumor, however, needs confirmation. Our advices from Kansas, and the tone of the press In the Territory. all show the prevabhce of a quiet feeling.- 8 me of the restless spirl a are anxious that Guy. Denver tou'd call an extra italUliOU of the Legislature, for the par p so of agitating the question of a new Constitution, but a I.rgo majority of the people are opposed to such a measure, aril desire to wait until the regular session la Jan usry.— The citizens of the Territory are aim anxious that the public sales of land be postponed for at least one year. The political campaign of Illinois has not fairly opened yet. We think. from what we have heard in the past week, that the party cannot come to any terms upon a union huh wings maintaining their ground. In such an event the result is Inevitable—the election is determined, but we still look and hope fur the defeat of Black Itepublican ism. Tho weather has , been cool and pleasant, and several line showers of rain have fallen in too past week. It is nothing very unusual to see white men with two facet, but the following Is the first record we recollect to have noticed of a negro man being in the same predicament. It is from the Texas item: There Is a remarkable negro boy In Polk county. He has two faces fixed on opposite parts if the head, with mouth, nose and chin so lull and perfect that it Is impos sible to tell which is the hoot foci, when the body is hid trom view. lie is about six years old, healthy, of very sound mind, runs and plays among other rtildren with as much sprightliness as could be expected from one of Ids age. Soarer SNOWS.—The Valparaiso correspon• dent of the Pennsylvanian writes under date of July 16 : " This is midwinter here, and the weather very cold and unpleasant. The Andes are covered with snow. Snow to the depth of several inches fell in the streets of Santiago one night last week. The " oldest settlers" unite in declaring that they have never passed through a more inclement winter than the present. The snow is so deep on the mOun tains that wild animals are compelled to legie the mountain gorges, and seek fur a milder climate in the valleys." ST. Lams, Sept. 5, 1859 OLD GUARD
