GET YOUR TICKETS The Democratic County Tickets are printed, and will be ready for distribution on and after Thursday next. Our friends from the country will do well to call with the Chairman of the County Committee, 11. B. SIVARR, Esq., and get a supply for their several districts. ATTEND TO THE ASSESSMENTS We again call the attention of our Demo cratic friends throughout the County to the great importance of attending to the Assess ments. FRIDAY NEXT (the Ist of October) is the last day upon which assessments can be legally made prior to the election, and therefore but four days remain in which to attend to this duty. Every vote will count at the ensuing election, and therefore we hope none of our friends will be prevented from exercising the right of suffrage on this ac count. Once more, then, we earnestly direct atten tion to the ASSESSMENTS. COURT FOR NATURALIZATION The Court of Common Pleas for this Coun ty, will sit for the purpose of naturalization of foreigners, on Monday the 11th of October —the day immediately preceding the General Election. Those persons, however, who intend to be come naturalized at that time, should get themselves assessed ten days prior to the elec Lion—as without that precaution they will not be entitled to vote, notwithstanding their naturalization. THE DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATES It is right and proper that every voter in the county should be placed in possession of as much information in reference to the char acter, pursuits in life, and qualifications of candidates placed in nomination for popular suffrage, as practicable. The gentlemen nom mated on the Democratic ticket, are very gen erally and favorably known in their own localities, and, some of them, throughout the county. As, however, there are persons of the same name, it may lend some aid to inquirers in regard to particular men, by ad ding to their township, city, or borough resi dences, their several occupations. When this is accomplished, we shall apply a test to show them to be (morally and politically) honest, capable, and true to the Constitution of their country. - JAMES M. HOPKINS, our candidate for Con gress, is -a citizen of Drumore township—a Farmer, and extensive Manufacturer of Iron, giving constant employment to a very large number of industrious working men. He was born in the city of Lancaster, and is now in the summer of vigorous manhood, physi cally and intellectually. For the State Legislature—HENßY E. LE— MAN, also a native of Lancaster, served an apprenticeship to the Gunsmith business in this City; and has earned a reputation as wide as the Union, of being the best Rifle maker in the United States. He has had a large man ufactory in the city, and one in Manheim township, for many years, and which are now in the most prosperous condition—giving con stant employment to about seventy five or eighty hands. Mr. LEMAN is himself a work ing man, personally superintending his entire business. HENRY SHREINER, is a native citizen of Manheim township. He is a practical Far mer e _ and has a large farm, under his own superintendence, in a high state of cultivation. He is also an acting Magistrate, holding the office by the popular suffrage of the people of his township. SAMUEL Hold., a citizen of Earl township, and also a native of this county, is a practical Farmer, residing in the vicinity of New Hol land. JOHN H. BRENNEMAN, a citizen and resident of Mount Joy Borough, can also claim nativi ty in our good old county. He was formerly a Teacher in the Academy, then a Merchant, but is now engaged is Agriculture and the Nursery business, in the neighborhood of that flourishing town. For County Commissioner—we have MC/31AS W. HENDERSON, of Salisbury township, an other son of Lancaster county, and a practical Farmer, extensively engaged in Agricultural pursuits. For Prison Inspectors—HENßY SHELLY, o' Rapho township, is one of our most substan tial practical Farmers ; and JOBN REINHOLD of West Cocalico, is a Farmer and Tanner and carries on Droving quite extensively. For Directors of the Poor—Joni ROWE, of East Lampeter, Illative of our county, and a substantial Farmer; and FREDERICK DREAMER, of Upper Leacock'is also one of our excellent practical Farmers. For Auditor—WlLLlAM F. JENKINS. of Fulton township, is- , a School Teacher, who stands deservedly high in his professon. We have not room for any further portrait ure of our candidates in this number of the paper. In our next we may advert to them again, and place them in comparison with those of the Opposition. It will be seen that the whole Democratic ticket is made up of FARMERS and MECIIANICS;with the sin gle exception of our candidate for Auditor, who is engaged in an occupation which emi nently qualifies him for an accounting officer. We have not got a Lawyer on the ticket— '—but we guess that won't hurt us "nary one," very much. BLOWING HIS OWN TRUMPET i Mr. STEVENS occupies six mortal columns of the Times of Wednesday last, praising him— self and abusing President BucuANAN, Messrs. HOPKINS, DARLINGTON, HIESTER and others. The whole paper is filled with libels of the basest kind on the character of these gentlemen ; but we do not suppose that either of them will for one moment dream of resorting to the law to vindicate himself! Mr. STEVENS 18 becoming desperate, and in his desperation will resort to anything to save himself from the overwhelming defeat which is staring him in the face. PUBLIC OPINION..OIIR DUTY. We are daily receiving letters from various districts in the county, of the most encourag ing ,kind. .The opposition to Mr. STEVENS, even in the Republican ranks, to say nothing of the old line Silver Gray Whigs and Amer icans, is daily growing more formidable, and nothing can now save him from an overwhelm ing defeat if the Democrats of the county do their whole duty. The Democratic vote, when all polled, amounts to about eight thou sand, and it would be a burning shame if, through lukewarmness or apathy on the part of any of our friends, this vote should be ma terially reduced at the approaching election. If the Democrats all turn out, they will re. ceive such aid from the-old line Whigs and Americans, and even the moderate Republi cans, as will elect Mr. HOPKINS by a large majority, as well as every candidate on our excellent ticket. We urge, therefore, an immediate and thor. ough organization of our party in every die trict in the county. It is only by a prompt and earnest attention to this matter, that our full vote can be brought to the polls, and only with a full vote we can calculate with any degree of certainty on success. We have a wily and unscrupulous foe to contend with, who will resort to any means, foul as well as fair, to accomplish his object, and it is only by unceasing efforts on the part of the Democ racy that he can be foiled. The desperation of STEVENS and his friends should be met and counteracted by corresponding activity and energy on our part. WHO FAVORS ECONOMY` We put this interrogatory to the people of Lancaster county, and desire them to answer it to their own satisfaction before the second Tuesday of October. Is it Mr. STEVENS and his Abolition friends, who refused to say any thing in their Convention respecting the enor mous and extravagant increase in the compen sation of members of Congress, members of the Legislature, and District Attornies, and who are believed to be opposed to any reduc tion? Or is it Messrs. Hoktris, LEMAN, SHREINER, HULL and BRENNEMAN, who at.: favorable to a reduction of salaries, and who are instructed by the Convention which nom inated them, in the event of their election, to advocate and vote fur a repeal of the law or laws increasing the compensation ? Both the pay of Congressmen and State Legislators has been increased to more than double the amount it was a few years ago, and unless a stop is put to this thing, it will go on in creasing until it will treble or quadruple the amount. Formerly Congressmen got eight dollars a day and mileage, amounting in the two sessions to about $2500 ;—now for the same time, they receive $6OOO and mileage I A few years ago and State Legislators got three dollars per day, or about $3OO the ses sion; now, for the same service, they vote themselves $700! Formerly District Attor nies received $3 for each suit tried in the Criminal Court ;—now they get FIVE DOL— LARS for the same service ! It is high time a stop was put to this thing. The Democracy of Lancaster county have taken a step in the right direction, and have placed their candidates for .Congress and the State Legislature on the right platform. It remains for the people to say whether they are in favor of economy or extravagance in the expenditure of the public monies. If they favor economy, they can best accomplish the object by voting the. Democratic ticket. THE PRESIDENT AT HOME President BUCHANAN returned to Washing ton, on Tuesday last, after a brief visit of a few days to Wheatland. He came entirely on private business, and only reached here the day after the meeting of the Democratic County Convention, so careful was he to avoid even the appearance of any interference with our local politics ; nor had he any thing what. ever to do with either naming the candidates or preparing the platform of the Convention. We speak what we know. And yet the organs and minions of THADDEUS STEVENS are charg ing all kinds of interference upon him, and the Weekly Times of Wednesday last, is foul mouthed in its abuse of the venerable Chief Magistrate because of his visit after an absence of a year from his quiet homestead ! The most abusive and slanderous articles in the Times are believed to be from the pen of STEVENS himself, or written at his dictation ; but there is no danger of Mr. BUCHANAN bringing suit against him for their publication. Mr. B. appreciates too highly the liberty of the press, of which he was the able advocate many years ago in Congress, to now think of abridg ing it in any shape or form. In this respect, as well as in almost every other, moral, re ligious and political, he is the antipode of the Abolition candidate for Congress. THE TARIFF QUESTION Mr. STEVENS, through his editorials in the Weekly Times, is very anxious to make it appear that the Republicans are the friends of a tariff, whilst the Democrats favor free trade. Every intelligent citizen knows this to be false ; but if any doubt it, we wish them to look at the following letter signed by JOHN M. READ and others; congratulating the then Vice President Dallas on his casting vote against the tariff of 1842. Mr. READ is the Republican candidate for Judge of the Su preme Court—hence the hollowness of Aboli. tion professions favorable to an increase of duties. But it is of a piece with their advoca cy last year of DAVID WILMOT, a regular free trader, for Governor. Read for yourselves : PHILADELPHIA, July 29th, 1846 Ts the Hon. GEORGE M. DALLAS, rice President of the United States The fate of the new tariff bill has been de— cided by your casting vote yesterday, in the Senate of the UniteeStates, and we seize the earliest moment, as your personal and political friends and as the friends of the toiling mil lions of this great republic, to congratulate you on your unflinching adherence to Demo. cratic principles, especially to that cardinal point, " the greatest good of the greatest number," at a moment too when every eye was directed towards you, when a large mass of intelligence and local interest was enlisted and exerted in the antagonistic cause, and when it required a desertion even of two Sen ators to throw the whole responsibility upon your single vote. Assuring you that we are certain that the majority of the American people will thank and honor you for this noble act of Roman firmness, so seldom known in these modern times of "principle in proportion to interest," and which act aids in creating a law for the equal benefit of the whole people, whilst it sustains a President and has admin istration whose every deed has been designed for the honor, prosperity and happiness of the whole nation. It is true the workings of your political foes may create a momentary agitation against you, but remember it is not the first time that you have withstood their harmless missiles and fruitless assaults, and now we confidently predict that the great agricultural interest, the paramount interest of the land, will have reason to rejoice at the firmness of your course, and the independence with which it was exercised; and place you by acclamation on the list with Jefferson and Jackson who outlived every breath of slander, and whose memories are cherished in the hearts of millions of freemen. We have the honor to be with great respect your friends and fellow citizens, JOHN M. READ, and others. CONGRESSIONAL NOMINATIONS H. L. FISHER, Esq., of York, has received the Democratic nomination in the 16th dis trict, (Ahl's ;) and JOHN M'REYNOLDS, Esq., in the 12th district, (Leidy's.) A BASE FALSEHOOD NAILED! The story is being circulated throughout the county. by the leaders of the Republican party, that Mr. HOPKINS, the Democratic can didate for Congress, many years ago, in 1848 we believe, compelled the men in his employ to vote the Whig ticket under a threat of in stant dismissal for refusing to do so. For this purpose he furnished them with colored tick ets, &e. Now, we are authoriied to say that the charge is entirely destitute of foundation.— There is not a word of trute in it from begin ning to end. It is an Abolition LIE, invented and propagated for the purpose of misleading and deceivingt7est and unsuspecting Dem ocrats. We again caution our readers throughout I the county to !put no faith in any of the thousand and one stories which they may hear against either of the candidates on the Democratic ticket. They are all falsehoods originating in the fet:tile brain of THADDEUS STEVENS and his obsequious tools, and are totally unworthy of credence, and can have none outside the Abolition ring. The following certificate from two well known citizens of Lancaster, formerly in the employ of Mr. HOPKINS, effectually nails the base falsehood to the counter : LANCASTER, Sept. 24, 1858 We the undersigned, having seen with sur prise a charge made against JAMES M. HOP KINS, the Democratic candidate for Congress, that he was in the habit of distributing col ored tickets at elections and -compelling his hands to vote as he dictated This is to cer tify that we were in the employ of Mr. HOP KINS, at his Iron Works,—one of us (the first named,) from 1847 to 1852, and the other during the summer and fall of 1848 ; and we know that the charge against that gentleman is false in every particular. Mr. Horiaris never did, to our .knowledge, nor did we ever hear of such a thing until this charge was made, attempt, either directly or indirectly, to influence any of the men in his employ to 'vote one way or the other at any election.— Nor did he ever attempt to prevent any of his hands from attending the elections and voting as they pleased. Nor did he, to our know ledge, ever use any blue, or colored, or marked tickets, nor did we ever hear of such tickets until since the nomination of Mr. HOPKINS. On the contrary, we know that during the time we were there a large majority of the hands were Democrats, and we know also, that they were never proscribed for voting the Demo cratic ticket. During all the time we were at Conowingo Iron Works, Mr, Isaac RoGERS, leading and active Democrat, was the principal Man iger of the establishment, and still re mains in that capacity. Witness our hands, DAVID POLLOCK, Democrat. JOHN GUNTON, Old Line Whig. "WHIG MEASURES t" The Weekly Times, (the mouth-piece of THADDEUS STEVENS,) in reply to the Examiner, (the old Whig organ of the county,) claims that the Buckshot War, the Masonic Inquisi tion, the Chartering of the United States Bank of Pennsylvania, the Gettysburg Tape Worm, &c., &c., all of which being the work of Mr. STEVENS, were "Br lig Measures," and that they were endorsed by the old Whig party of by-gone days ! This we do not believe ; for we knew hundreds of men belonging to that respectable political organization who did at the time, and still do, repudiate each and all of those infamous measures. They were the measures of THADDEUS STEVENS, and were only sustained bythe Anti. Masonic faction of that day, and their inception and consumma tion did more to embarrass the finances of the State, and demoralize the people of Pennsyl vania, than any other act or acts that were ever perpetrated in our good old Common wealth. The Buckshot War was a gross out rage. So also Wf,S the Masonic Inquisition , which dragged before this High Priest of Anti Masonry such distinguished gentlemen and estimable citizens as GEORGE M. DALLAS. Rev. Ws. T. SPROLE, the venerable es Graver nor WOLF, and a score of others equally respectable and honorable. So, too, the char tering of the U. S. Bank, which brovght ruin to hundreds of widows and orphans. So, likewise, the Gettysburg Tape Worm, and the other monstrosities of the Ritner Administra Those aere all pet measures of THADDEUS STEVENS and the other Anti-Masonic leaders— Governor Ritner being a mere catspaw for this bold, bad man. They were not Whig measures, and it is a libel on the Whig party proper of that day, to charge it with the re sponsibility of those odious enactments. 'Tis true this man STEVENS, on the decline of Anti-Masonry, had fastened himself to the skirts of the Whig party, and by his presence in that organization rendered it odious to the people of Pennsylvania; but the genuine, true blue, Henry Clay Whigs of 1835-8 de tested his company and would endorse none of his acts. Thus much for the allegation of the Weekly Times. We have no disposi tion to embark in - this controversy between the Times and the Examiner, especially as the latter paper is abundantly able to take care of itself. But we like to assist in vindicating the truth of history. As well might the Times charge that Mr. STEVENS' attempt last fall to cheat Mr. CARPENTER out of his elec tion, at an expense to the county of some THREE THOUSAND DOLLARS, was a Whig measure, as to saddle his own misdeeds during the Ritner administration upon the Whig party of twenty-odd years ago. LOOK AT THE FIGURES During the administration of Governor Rit ner, the chief manager and controller of that imbecile Executive was THADDEUS STEVENS, then Canal Commissioner and member of the Legislature. The following sums are justly chargeable to his account: GETTYSBURG RAILROAD, about Add Interest on original cost for 20 years at 5 per cent., Masonic Inquisition and Interest, say Buckshot War and Interest, To this we may add the cost to Lancaster county of the Contest ed Election case last fall, about, Amount, Let the tax-payers of the county look at the above figures, which might be largely in creased if the records were examined, and then vote for Mr. STEVENS if they can consci entiously. Here are a aeries of outrages on the treasury of the State and County, and on the popular will, which should consign this man—the prime mover in the whole catalogue of abuses—to political infamy and oblivion. THE SATURDAY EXPRESS This paper—we mean the weekly issue— "does not make a profession of party politics" —not it ! Wonder how it is about the practice ? For an answer we refer to its two and a hell or three columns of editorial and other politi cal matter in the last number, in advocacy of the claims of THADDEUS STEVENS, and in opposition to Mr. HOPKINS. Come, come, Mr. GEIST, professions ain't worth much in an intelligent community, and amongst honest men, where the practice does not correspond. THINGS TO BE REMEMBERED! It ought to be remembered that STEVENS commenced this campaign at Christiana, where the Negroes, aided and abetted by the. White Abolitionists, murdered Mr. EDWARD Gon— such, a highly respectable and honorable citizen of the State of Maryland. It would be a fitting conclusion if he would close the can— vass in Manheim township, where the blood of innocent and inoffensive white women was shed by brutal Negroes! KEEP IT BEFORE THE PEOPLE I Keep it before the People, that the Republi cans did, IN THE YEAR OF OUR LORD ONE THOUSAND EIGHT HUNDRED AND FIFTY—SEVEN, in Congress, when they had a mejnrity in the House of Representatives, enact and pas the present Tariff bill, by which act they reduced the Tariff of 1846. Keep it before the People, that the Tariff of 1846 was a DEMOCRATIC TARIFF, PASS— ED BY A DEMOCRATIC CONGRESS, and that under its operations the country was prosperous beyond all precedent. Keep it before the People, that Lewis D. Campbell, the first choice of the Republicans for the Speakership in the House of Repre sentatives, WAS THE MAN who reported the bill for the REDUCTION OF THE TARIFF of '46, which reduction was sup ported by the votes of FISH, SUMNER, WILSON, and the Republicans generally IN BOTH HOUSES OF CONGRESS. Keep it before the People, that Messrs. BIG— LER and Broadhead, the two Senators from .Pennsylvania, both SPOKE and VOTED AGAINST said reduction Of the Tariff, while Horace Greely, the great Mogul of Republi canism, went to Washington as a borer TO AID IN SECURING SAID REDUCTION. Keep it before the People, that DAVID WILMOT, their candidate for Governor last fall, was a Free Trade man ; and that JOHN M. READ, their present nominee for Supreme Judge, is also a Free Trade man, and that he wrote a letter congratulating George M. Dal. las for having voted for the Tariff of '46, Keep it before the People, that the expenses of the present administration during the past year was SEVERAL MILLIONS OF DOL— LARS LESS! than was ordered, during the last year of Pierce's administration, by a Re publican House. Keep it before the People, that the only need less expense of the present Administration was that which was entailed upon it to foot the unpaid bills of the extravagant legislation of the Republican House over which Speaker Banks presided. Keep it before the People, that Kansas would have been before this, and would be at this time, a Free State of this Union, had not the Abolitionists in and out of Kansas pre vented it, by the extreme measures of writing, and stumping that Territory, counseling her citizens not to vote, with no other design than to produce a pro slavery constitution over which to strengthen sectionalism—to weaken the bonds between the North and the South, and thus to weaken the bonds of our Union. Keep it before the People, that the present opposition Mongrel party have no fixed prin ciples ; that they seek to sever every tie of fraternal feeling—to break down conservatism and nationality—to annihilate popular sover eignty, and to gain a triumph over the friends of good government, law, and the Constitu tion, by the most reckless and unblushing course of fusion, vassalage and change that ever cursed an enlightened people. BORROWING POLITICAL CAPITAL Some of the Abolition-Republican leaders in this neighborhood are becoming extrava gantly eulogistic of Henry Clay. Their pane gyrics of that eminent statesman me as ful some as they are hollow and insincere.— Lacking political capital of their own, these trading politicians are attempting to borrow the name of the distinguished man who, when living, repudiated their treasonable schemes and disunion principles. If he were now alive he would denounce the men who seek to hide their political deformity beneath his mantle of patriotism. In 1851 Mr. Clay made a speech to the Legislature of Kentucky, by invitation, and foretold, with almost prophetic certainty, the formation of the very party which now attempts to claim- him as its champion and friend. If he had been gifted with the power of second-sight. he could not h , ve predicted the results which have already occurred with more unerring precision. The language we are about to quote applies with overwhelming force to the miscalled " People's Party," whose leaders" are endeavoring to dupe the public into believing that they were the friends, and are now the admirers of the principles of which Mr. Clay was the distinguished advo cate and defender. In that speech Mr. Clay said : Sir, I go a step further ; I have had great hope and confidence in the principles of the Whig party, as being most likely to conduce to the honor, prosperity, and glory of our coun• try. But if it is to be merged into a contempti ble Abolition party, and if Abolitionism is to be engrafted on the Whig creed, front that 1710- meet I renounce the party and cease to he a Whig. Igo yet a step further. If lam alive, I will give my humble support for the Presi dency to that man, to whatever party he may belong, who is uncontaminated by fanaticism, rather than to one who, crying out all the time and aloud that he is a Whig, maintains doc trines utterly subversive of the Constitution of the Union." Again, in the same speech : " Out of Our late heated discussions and diversions, one good result has been produ ced. The people generally, Whigs and Demo crats, have been more thrown together in free and friendly intercourse. Both have learned to appreciate each other. For myself, I say, alike with true, hearty pleasure, that during the late arduous and protracted session, I was in conference and consultation quite as often, if nut oftener, with the Democrats than Whigs, and I found in .the Democratic party quite as much patriotism, devotion to the Union, probity and honor, as in any other party." We should like to hear our Opposition ora tors, who appeal so loudly and so earnestly to the Old Line Whigs to affiliate with what Mr. Clay called " a contemptible Abolition party," comment upon the extracts we have quoted from the speech of that remarkable man. It is refreshingly cool to hear a Garrisonian, or Greeley or STEVENS' disunionist, claim to have been Clay Whigs, and that they still fol low in his footsteps. Is not this the most bare faced effrontery that can well be imagined? There is riot a man possessing three grains of common sense, who will doubt for one moment, that if Henry Clay were now alive, that he would not act as he then declared he would, and renounce all connection with a combination which had become " merged into a contemptible Abolition party," and would unite himself with the Democratic party, where, as he declared, he had found quite as much patriotism, devotion to the Union, pro bity and honor, as in any other party. He would be where his patriotic son now is, fight ing the men who always opposed him and betrayed him. It is a libel upon the memory of the dead fur the leaders of the People's Abo ' lition party to claim Henry Clay as their polit ical god father. The people know that the assertion is untrue. —Phila.

CHRONICLES OF WOOLLY.DOIL EMEE3 1 And the whole country of the Conestoga was sore dis tr.-3,d by reason of the wet; and the voice of lamentation Wag heard fnun the C,calico in the east, to the Conowago, as thou goest toward the setting of the sun, in the west, and from the mountains of Libanns in the north, even to the greatriver of Susquehanna on the south. 2. For the tribes of the Democracy, through their chief counsellors in the Hreat Sarthedrim, had met in the Hall called Fulton, in the city of • King Thaddeus, on the fif teenth day of the'rtinth month, and there with one heart and one hand chose James, a mighty man of valor, of the country of Drumore, to be the Chief Captain of the host. 3. And it came to pass that when proclamation was made to the effect that James was selected as the chosen leader of the army, the trumpets were sounded, and with shoots of gladness the people with one accord rallied around his standard, and with loud voices cried out great is our valiant standard bearer, and destruction to the ty rant Thaddeus and his woolly-head follower. 4. And when all the tribes had assembled, James spake with a load voice and said: Ye men of Conestoga! be it known throughout the length and breadth of the land, that ye have this day chosen me as the Chief Captain of the host. Now, therefore, gird on your armor like men, and break off at once your allegiance to King Thaddeus ; enlist under my banner, and acquit yourselves valiantly, and it shall be well with you and your wives and your lit tle ones. And they answered with one voice, thou hest well said; we will be thy soldiers and thou shalt be our captain, oh! mighty man of valor. 5. And all the people said amen; and they came forward by hundreds and by fifties and by tena,and enrolled them- salves in the army of James ; and there was a very great multitude—even many thousands of valiant men—who had left their Lanus and their work-shops and their mer chandizing to enlist under his banner. 6. And King Thaddeus sat upon his throne, surrounded by Oliver the Rampant, Edward the Corinaellor, Jay the Keeper of the King's Prison, Willis the Chief Scribe, Alexander the Lusty, Walter the Sly, James the Recha bite. William the Inspector of the King's Ballobßox, Simon the ishomelite, Philip the Bailiff, and the rest of his nobles and chief counsellors. 7. And the King spake, and his lips quivered with emo- lon as he said: For many long years have I ruled over this land and my authority no man called in question ; but word bee this day reached my ears that the whole coun try is in a state of revolt, that my edicts are treated with derision, and that already several of my strong holds have been captured by the rebels. 8. It has moreover been communicated to me that the rebels have chosen James of Drumore for their Chief Cap tain, and that general consternation and alarm have seized fast hold of the hearts of nay liege subjects, and that an attack is even threatened upon my palace and throne. And, beheld, lam sore troubled at these tidings, and know not what to do 9. And when the King ceased speaking, his knees senate one agaiestthe other, and there was no spirit left in him . And his counsellors fell upon their faces and wept aloud; and Theophilus Let us (Ise for our lives to the land of Dauphin, and thei'e place ourselves under the protection of Simon the great chief of the Winnebago tribe, and we shall be secure trom the wrath of James of Drnmore. 10. But Oliver the Rampant said Not so, my lord the King. 'Tis even so that the rebellion has extended far and wide, and that many have turned their backs upon thy rightful authority and government: but several of thy provinces remain faithful and true, and if we must flee for our lives, it will be better to retreat into the eaves and fastnesses of the country of Sadsbury, than to fell into the bands of the Philistines who inhabit the country of Dau phin. . 11. And the saving of Oliver the Rampant pl..ased the King better than the COll.Ol of Theophilus the Chamber lin; and he straightway took the command of the Woolly Head army from Theophilus, and conferred it upon Oliver. 12. And the King commanded all his captains and lieu tenants and the Abolition tribes under their control, to obey the commands of Oliver the Rampant. And all the scribes and counsellors bowed their heads to the earth, and said great is King Thaddeus, and mighty is the Chief Cap tain Oliver whom he bath this day appointed. 13. And when the council were dismissed, the Chief Captain Oliver caused the drums to beat and the trumpets to sound. and commanded all the tribes of Woollydom, both great and small, to assemble themselves together on the heights to the northward and westward of the King's chief city. 14. And Oliver further commanded his General, Bartram the Bold, to march with a detachment of the army upon the strongholds of West ltempfield, Columbia, Marietta and Conoy, and slay with the edge of the sword all who make resistance to the King's authority, and those who surrender at discretion he is to bind hand and foot and de liver over to Jay the Keeper of the King's Prison. 15. And every man went to his own place, and the King Was left alone to meditate on the fluctuations and sumer ninty of all earthly power and grandeur. It. And it came to pass that the people were assembling in great force under the banner of James of Drumore; and his army was composed of valiant men and men of renown, who boldly defied the King's authority, and who refused to have him any longer to rule over them. 17. And the batteries of George and Edward continued to make sad havoc with the Woolly Goad tribes. and mm ny were the slain and wounded in the camp of the King. 18. And James of Druruure sent forth his trusty Lieuten ants, William, and David, and Henry, and John, and Na than and Benjamin to capture the strong posts of Lampe ter in the South, and Mattheim and Rapho In the North and West; and they went forth, they and the brave men who followed them, with glad hearts and willing minds, and they captured those strong places and put to death the soldiers of the King. 19. Then there was bitter wailing and lamentation in the palace of King Thaddeus, and the King would not be comforted because of the defeat of his faithful subjects and the loss of Isis strongholds in the North and email. 20. And the King said: Woe IN me, for lam undone.— My sceptre is departing fro.n me, and my kingdom is being destroyed by mine enemies. I will arise and flee from this place, and will seek a refuge from the violence of those who have risen up against me, with my trusty subjects iu the east country. 21. And John the Keeper of the King's Seal, was corn. mended to 'Alike a notnritl record of the sayings in the Book of the Chronicles of Woollydom. 22. And the Kingdeparted, he and his wives and his con cubines, his men servants and maid servants, with the chief counsellors and scribes, and took refuge with his ever faithtul and trust-worthy subject, Nathaniel the Boisterous, of the Gap province, and he remained there many days, and all the Woolly-llead captains resorted unto him. 23. And there was sore war throughout all the land For the Intelligencer !UM= The ticket beaded by JAMES M. lloes.iNs, of Drumore, is an excellent Ono. It bears close inspection. It ',meth nothing in comparison with the Republican ticket. In substantial talent the ticket is by far the better of the two. What the Congressional nominee might lone, in sheer men tal acumen, is doubly gained on the Assembly ticket.— likNnv Lents is one of the few men qualified by nature and education for usefulness—shrewd and intelligent, without being vain. economical and industrious, and at the same time generous and obliging. HENRY SHREINER is One of that class of people who seldom accept an office whose duties require the incumbent to he from home. In the days of Washington men served their country from convictions of duty. often reluctantly; if any of that sort still exist, we put in the claim of Mr. Shreiner. Jens IL BRENNESLAN has been bef ire the public on a former occa. abs.o and needs no comment. If thorough scholarship and integrity are any recommendation, Slr. Brenneman is thereby recommended. SAMUEL MOLL is a new man, and ,as good as any of them; he is a farmer and a working-man, and like myself, bears the proof with him. If any body wants to vote for an intelligent, honest and upright far mer, let him vote for Samuel Hell. I tell you, patriotic readers of the Intelligencer, that we may well be proud of our ticket. If there ever was nn Assembly ticket like it offered in this part of the country, it certainly must have been previous to the discovery of America by Columbus. It seems to your correspondent that such a ticket ought to be elected. Lancaster county citizens, proverbial the world over for plainness and decency, cannot and will not vote for STEVENS and his ticket. Morality and decency were among the early requisites in a successful candidate for office. Are not those qualities as valuable now as ever?— Eh even more as the scarcity increases. Voters of ban. caster county, pause and reflect before.you vote this time. How often do we country people meet. and in our little meetings deplore the corruption in high places. One says, that Congress are only a set of Drunkards and GamLlers— spending the people's money. and defiling the morale of the rising generation by their unbridled example in the lusts of the flesh, Ac. Another has a different story, and so no go. Now, my friends, is the time to make your cher ished reform. Rest upon your pure old-fashioned notions of propriety, and vote for the man who stands before you with the most reliable recommendations for virtue, moral ity and general religion. I will not dictate to you; for myself I choose (with a clear conscience) Janus M.lformits, of Drumore. STEVENS may be right, but there are differ ent stories going the rounds. and I am afraid some might only be too true. What a pity that a man (Stevens) with such a head, should be suspected a man with such a heart. Voting is strictly a matter of conscience. Preachers and teachers, laymen and students, beware lest your actions will conflict with your professions. This is a contest, fel low citizens, not of an ordinary political character—but, seems a direct contest between virtue and vice. Shall the votary of all that enobles humanity and elevates it be your representative in Congress—JAMES EIOPKINS; or THADDEUS STEVENS, who is charged with every sort of corruption that tends to vitiate and debase our race? This is a solemn question—make no thoughtless answer at the ballot-box. JIMMY. EAST LAXPETER, Sept. 26, 1858. For the Intelligen.r "Clive the Devil hie due," is an old axiom, and one to which I most religiously subscribe; and. therefore, while I detest the man and his principles, I mast give Mr. Ste vens credit for one thing. and that Is, his uncompromising hostility to every thing that interferes with niggorlem.— Through the whole of his long, useless and not uneventful life, he has been true to woolly.headism, and has clung to it as tenaciously as an old sucker to his whiskey flask.— With him it is a mania—a kind of negrophobia—which will only terminate with his earthly career. So strong is his attachment for the sable sou of Africa, and en deep seated the conviction of his perfect equality with the white man, that a gentleman from Lancaster, in whose truthful. ness I place every confidence, informed me yesterday, that at the time the Lancaster Cemetry was laid out. Mr. Ste vens subscribed and paid for two or four lots. When the deed was presented to him, he read but indignantly refused to take it Alii"because it prohibited any lot holder from inter ing any "but the dead of warms persons" upon his ground. Could abolitionism and fanaticism carry a man farther than this? Cr does any reasonab/e man ask better evidence of Mr. Stevens' ultra abolitionism than this. THE CONTINENTALS.—Lancaster's favorite vocalists, the Continentals, will give one of their entertain ments at Fulton Hall this evening. Of course there will be a full house. The Continentals have no equals in this ountry. COLUMBIA NORTH WARD. I For the Intelligencer WHAT THEY WOULD DO! If the Abolitionists were to get the control of the State. and National Governments, they would doubtless enact laws placing the Negro on an equality with the White Man, and compelling us to associate with the African race in all the relations of life—civil, political and military.— We should have black members of Congress and of the State Legislature, black Judges and Jurors, black Sheriffs and other County Officers, black Generals and Colonels and Majors and Captains; and to cap the' climax we should have a revival of the Alien and Sedition Law—foreigners would be driven from the country, and the liberty of the press would be destroyed! The freemen of Lancaster county should consider all these things well before they deposit their votes for THAD• Dues STEVENS, the Prince of the Abolitionists in Pennsyl vania. CITY AND COUNTY- AFFAIRS THE FENCIBLES' EXCURSION.—The Fenci bles' excursion to Reading and Philadelphia last week was the moat complete triumph of any military organization which has ever visited either of those cities, reminding one of the ovations or festal occasions in times of Roman antiquity. The Fencibles, escorted from their Armory to the Depot by the Jackson Rifles, left this city in tbt 11 o'clock train for Reading, via Harrisburg. on Tuesday last. Harrisburg was reached at half-pact twelve, and the company dined at Herr's. The Patriot speaks In the highest terms of the Fencibles, and wishes for the time when Harrisburg can boast of such a corps. The Band favored the citizens with several of their choicest pieces. The company express themselves highly pleased with Harrisburg. At 2% o'clock they were seated in the cars of the Lebanon Valley Railroad, and bade farewell to the Capital. Nothing special occurred on the trip from Harrisburg to Reading, except that at the "stopping places" crowds of people were assembled to get a sight of this famed corps. The City of Reading name in sight about 5 o'clock, and in a few min utes after the train safely landed its precious burden at the depot of the Philadelphia and Reading Railroad. And now, we will let the Reading papers tell something of their trip to that beautiful city. We copy from the Gazette: THE L(Ncssrza Frscarzza—This fine volunteer company, commanded by Capt. John H. Buchman, arrived here on Tuesday afternoon, by way of Harrisburg. They were re ceived at the Railroad Depot by the Ringgold Artillery, Capt. NlcKnight, Reading Artillery, Capt. Alexander, and Reading Rifles, Capt. Bona; the whole under command of Gen. William H. Reim and the officers of his staff. With this handsome escort, the Fencibles were marched to their ' quarters at the Keystone House. They numbered 50 men rank and file, and were accompanied by an excellent Band of sixteen musicians. Their uniform is blue and white— the same, we believe, as the 11. S. Infantry dress, or some thing similar to it. They drill remarkably well, and are altogether a very creditable specimen of the volunteer sol diery of our neighboring county. Our old friend and former townsman, M. H. Locher, Esq., holds the rank of a Lieutenant in this company. We were pleased to see him looking ea well, and "every inch a soldier." The Fencibles remained in Reading until WwL,eed.ry noon, when they departed for Philadelphia, where they spent several days as the guests of the National Guard•.— During their brief stay here, they received the sue, lions of our military folks and citizens generally. Among the places they visited, was Lauer's Garden, where they were treated with that kindly hospitality for which Mr. Lauer is proverbial. We must not forget to acknowledge our indent, dile, to the Fencibles' Band for a delightful serenade tir our 'IBC, on Wednesday morning. The compliment was duly up preciated, and we shall always hold it in !ingv remem brance. This Baud is under the leadership of 31, fleorge hllinger, himself an accomplished musician. and is com posed of good material. Their' performances In this city attracted much attention, and were greatly admired. The Journal speaks in highly complimentary terms. It says: "The corps elicited universal admiration for theit:' fine appearance, correct drill, and gentlemanly deportment of the members. The company bears the reputation of being the best drilled corps in the State, and the way in which they went through their evolutions confirmed this • good report." In Reading they ,were treated in the tint:At style. The Ringgold pave them a tine collation at their Armory, and several private citizens were lavish in their attentions.— Mr. William Kirper, a prominent citizen of that city, in. riled them to partake of the hospitalities of his mansion ; the invitation was accepted, and we have the word of the Fencibles for saying that they never were rec•lved so handsomely before. Every delicacy that no epicurean could desire was upon the woll-filled table, and ample justice was done to the same The Fencibles are loud in their praises of Mr. K. and his accomplished lady, and this will be treasured ups. one of the most plmteant reminiscences this long-to-be remembered trip. On Wednesday evening the Pencil)les arrived in Phlla thdphia, and were received et the Depot, lith and Willow stre,da, by the National Guards, Philadelphia Greys, Wash ington Greys, and Black lluzzars. After a long end tire some march they were conducted to their quarters at the National Hotel. Race street. Forney's Press of Thursday speaks in the following deservedly high terms of the Fencibles: Ova MILITARY VISITORS FROM LANCASTER.—The appearance in our city of the fine volunteer corps, "The Lancaster Feu eibles," under the command of Captain John H. Duchman, now the guests of the National Guards, revived some agree able recollections. It is more than fifteen years ago since "The Lancaster Foncibles" were mganized under command of Captain John K. Findlay, at present the accomplished President Judge of the Northampton and Lehigh judicial district. Invited by tbecitizemi of Baltimore to attend a area display of the military in that city. a beautiful prize wi offered to the best drilled and beet disciplined company upon the ground, and “The Pei:wades" arrested general attention and attracted general admiration by the perfection of their evolutions and their manual of the musket, and by common consent were regarded as the successful com petitors. Owing, however, to a local rivalry, "The Fenci bles" were overlooked, and a Baltimore company received the honor which the Lancaster corps had so fairly won.— So much feeling was excited against the committee which decided the question between the contestants, that another prize, in the shape of a splendid flag, was prepared, and forwarded to Lancaster by a committee composed of distln- goished citizens of Baltimore. and was there presented to `.The Fencibles," Captain (now Judge) Findlay receiving the same in the name of his corps. amidst extraord hairy festivities, such as will long be remembered by the Fend- Mee and their hosts of friends. On the return of this tine company to Lancaster from Baltimore, they took the route via Philadelphia, and were here received with many demonstrations of popular favor. Subsequently the company was disbanded: but within the last few years it bas been reorganized under the command of Captain Buchman, a thorough tactician, and is to-day the same complete and compact body of citlz• n soldiery it was fifteen years ago. Yesterday, as the Fencibles passed through our streets, they were universally praised. Their military order, the solidity of their column, the regularity and severity of their step and line, gained them commendations even from martinets. In the riots of 1844, when they offered their services to our municipal authorities, their quiet and gen tlemanlike deportment and their complete discipline in duced many to look upon them as a part of the regular army. The same compliment was paid them yesterday. We feel a sort of ••il"IIIC pride" in "The Fencibles," and speak of them, as we do, not alone because we know they deserve what we say. but breause they recall many kind reminiscences of the past. Among their number we are glad to recognize old and cherished friends. It Won nothing but feasting and "seeing the sights" from their entrance until their departure from the City of Brotherly Love. Entertainments were given them by the National Guards, Washington Greys, and the Lancaster residents of Philadelphia. at the latter of which speeches wore mark by Judge Lewis, Col. Forney, Capt. Lyle and Lieut. Fraakl in. We have not the time or room to note all the places of note they visited, or the entertainments given them. The National Guards, the fast friends of the Fencibles, gave a grand ball in their honor, on Friday night, at their magnificent Armory in Baca street. The Fencibles feel that they never can repay the unremitting attentions of this gallant and wlaole.souled corps. The best they can do is to promise them, when they visit our city again, a real old fashioned Lancasterian reception. The Fencibles left Philadelphia at 3i/ o'clock, p. m., on Saturday, and reached home at 6.45. They were received at the depot by the Jackson Rifles, and were escorted to Ditlovrs Union Hotel, East King street, where a splendid collation was in waiting. Pretty little speeches were made by Lieut. Franklin and :Mr. Ditlow, and, at the con clusion, 12 rousing cheers and a tiger were given for the host and hostess of the Union hotel, and cheers and tigers for the National Guards, Philadelphia Greys, Washington Greys, Black Iluzzars. and Capt. Lyle. The Fencibles reached their Armory at 8 o'clock, and after a short and appropriate address from Capt. Buchman, the order "break ranks" was given, and they retired to their homes com pletely fagged out with their excursion duties and the overwhelming attentions paid them. LANCASTER COUNTY FAIR. —The prepara— tions for the coming Fair aro being rapidly completed, and the indications are ell in favor of a most decided success. Tho very enterprising officers of the society aro untiring In their efforts, and will leave nothing undone which can add to Its interest with visitors, or make it profitable to our Farmers and Mechanics. The list , f Premiums offered is large, amounting to over 52000. More than two hundred thousand feet of Lumber will be used In the erection of the buildings, enclosure, .tc. Nearly two acres of ground will be under roof. About 300 stalls aro prepared for Horses, Cattle, Ac., which from present indi cations, will not be enough. Largo entries of stock are being made, among which are some of the finest blooded Horses and Imported hulls. Several entries have been made of Sheep and Swine. The Mechanics of our county, evidently feel the advantage to be derived from such an exhibition, as they are already making their entries, and will undoubtedly be largely represented. The display of Agricultural Implements will be unusually large. The arrangements being made for giving them a practical trial will exceed by far any arrangements of the kind ever be fire made upon a Fair ground. The managers have, we think very wisely determined to make this the prominent feature of the Exhibition, and we have no doubt they will receive the hearty support of our Farmers and Mechanics. The different Threshing Machines, Fanning Mills, Ac. will then be in practical operation side by side, giving those in terested an excellent opportunity for judging of their cam, parative merits. A Portable Steam Engine manufactured by A. L. Archembault, of Philadelphia, will be on exhiliC tion, and will furnish power for the trial of machinery, Ac. A very fine building has been prepared, for the exhL bition of Ladles' Work and the fine arts; It Is 40 by 60 ft. and is covered with a perfectly water tight roof. We un derstand that the ladies of the city and county are coming up nobly to the work, determined to hustain the reputation gained by their very fine display at the last Fair. It Is be lieved they will have twice as much on exhibition this year as last. Our county had the very enviable reputation of having the beet Fair held in the State loot year, not excepting the State Fair held at Philadelphia; and every citizen of the county will feel a just pride in knowing that from present appearances, the second exhibition of the Lancaster Agri. cultural and Mechanical Society will far exceed the first , and that there will be such a gathering of people from our own county and the counties adjoining, as was never be fore known in the city of Lancaster. TOWNSHIP MEETING.--A Township Meeting will be held at Rawlinsville, on the afternoon of Saturday the 9th of October.

Esq., presented a splendid lot of Foreign Grapes of the Black Hamburg or Nislaza varie ties. Dawning says of the latter that it is ••the most delicious of all Grapes, but requires to be grown under glass In this Maya," And the flavor of those presented by Mr. Burt fully confirmed the above stutment in regard to the variety, as all who tasted it remarked that they never partook of such high-flavored fruit. Jacob M.

COLUMBIA AFFAIRS. —We glean the follow ing "items" from Saturday's Spy: “IRON ACTIVE."—For some time, spite of the depression of the Iran Interest, there has been a steady demand for that article in this neighborhood, and largo quantities have changed hands—not altogether to the satisfaction of the owners. Complaint was made before Justice Welsh that much railroad and pig iron, castings, &0., disappeared nightly, and his aid was asked in detecting the depredators. The Justice made search quietly in,this neighborhood, and put officer Baker, of Lancaster, on the watch. On Saturday, 11th inst., John M. Adams was arrested by Baker, in Lan caster, and brought before Esq. Welsh fur a hearing. When taken he was driving a horse and wagon, belong ing to Conrad Schroyer, of Columbia, loaded with MOO ft, of iron, identified as belonging to the Penne Railroad Company and the Columbia Bank. Adams stated that he was em. ployed by Sehroyer to drive the wagon to Lancaster and deliver the load. The prisoner was held to bail in $lOO to appear at the November term for trial. Schreyer was sr rested and his house searched; but no iron was found on the premises. Being too sick to be confined to the cellar, Schreyer gave j:;00 security for his appearance before the Justice, and the next clay, thinking change of air beneficial left the borough and his bail to mourn his untitnely departure fur parts unknown. He has not since been heard from. On the 18th inst., Adonis was surrendered by his bail, and by Justice Welsh sent h. Lancaster. On the 20th Wm. Adams, of that city. became surety for John's appear ance, and the prisoner was agile set free': There is every reason to believe that an extensive organi zation for the theft and sale of iron ex Ws in our neighbor hood, end from clues In the bands of the officers of the law it Is to be hoped that the gang will be completely rooted out and brought to punishment. The R a ilroad Company and other parties have suffered severely from the depreda tions of these scoundrels, and will be active in their prose. cution. Itounsnr.—On the night of the lost , the rabin of canal boat, lying et the upper ender Marietta, was entered, and Captain Jacob Itisenick robbed of $55 in money, a silver watch knife, de. The Captain was stupilied with either or chloroform by the villains. Checks for $35 were loft to a iv cket hook, the robbers not fancying the risk of an attempt to have them cached. Captain R. h. no sus picion of the perpetrators of the robbery. Ho will hold himself in readiness for them In future. CHINESE SCOAR CANE.—We are indebted to Mr. William Hippy for a specimen of most palatable Syrup made from the Sorghum. The article ctmtpares favorably with sugar house molasses, and when produced in large quantities will doubtless compete with it in trade. We have no par ticulars of Mr. Hippy's success In converting his cane into syrup, and can - say nothing of the yield is quantity—in quality it is first rate. WHAT WOULD BE THE EFFECT 1 What would be the effect upon the laboring white men of Pennsylvania, if Mr. STEVENS' doctrine that slavery should be abolished, were to prevail? Our State would be overrun in a short time with Negroes from Maryland, Virginia,and the other Southern States, who would be employed at half-price, and thus deprive an equal number of white men of the means of supporting themselves and families. We want the laboring while men of Lancaster county to think of this. THE ABOLITION MEETINGS Mr. STEVENS addressed his Abolition friends at Christiana on Friday evening ; and on Saturday evening, at the White Horse Tavern, in Salisbury township. We learn from a reliable scource that both meetings were exceedingly slim, marry of the " faithful " having failed to attend the summons of their chief. As these are two of the strongest Abo lition districts in the county, the comparative failure of the meetings looks ominous We are more than ever conirineed that the 'jig is up" with the old Abolition demagogue. DEED SCOTT DEAD.—The negro whose case before the U. S. Supreme Court excited so much attention by that class who have no sympathy for suffering, unless the victim has a black skin, an offensive odor, and a woolly head, recently died at St. Louis. Of course, there will be weeping and wailing in all ne grodom, for the principal plank in the Aboli tion platform has been removed Wonder whether the Republican candidate for Con *gress in this district will pronounce an eulogy on the virtues of the illustrious deceased?
