"ALL THE DECENCY P+
The Black Republican meeting at Fulton
Hall, on last evening, (Friday) was rather a slim
gathering when we consider that the town was
full of country people attending the' Fair, and
the extraordinary exertions made to get
up a " monster mass meeting.." STEVENS led
off in a speech filled with vituperation of Presi
dent Boataties, who seems to trouble the old
demagogue as much as Morgan's Ghost did five
and twenty years ago. He was vulgar and
coarse in his abuse of the President, the senior
editor of the Intelligencer, (whom he designa
ted, among other; equally chaste expletives,
as " a sanctified hypocrite, or libertine—we
could not exactly catch the word—who was
trying to cheat the Devil, but would get to
Hell at last !") and the German speakers who
have been doing good service to the Democracy
in this City during the present week. Some
of the roughest dregs of society were present
—loafers of the worst character, who loudly
cheered the blackguardisms uttered by the
speaker ; and who, strange to say, were heartily
joined in the sport of applauding his abusive
remarks by professing Christians ! Out upon
the hypocrites !
Mr. STEVENS was followed by THOMAS E.
Cocartax, Esq., of York, present editor of the
Lancaster Union. His speech was a re-hash
of Black Republican slang about free-trade,
and low abuse of Senator BIGLER and the
President. By the time he got through, the
audience was thinned out considerably; and
the moment he quit, and without waiting for
a regular adjournment, there was a general
stampede for the door—all appearing anxious
to get away, fearing, doublers, that the inflic
tion of similar slang and abuse might be
im
posed upon them by a third speaker.
BEWARE OF SPURIOUS TICKETS 2
We caution our Democratic friends against
spurious tickets, with which the County will
be flooded on the day pf the.election. The
enemy will resort to this device, as one means
of deceiving and imposingupon honest voters.
Beware of them, and see that none such are
put in the ballot-box by mistake. Be sure
that your ticket
,contains the names of
all the Democratic candidates, and that the
names are correctly spelled.
'Recollect, Democrats of the City, that
he Polls close at 7 o'clock, P. M. "as
DEMOCRATS OF LANCASTER CITY
AND COUNTY
Let us have a parting word before the elec
tion. We verily believe that if every Demo.
cratic vote is polled in the county, our excel
lent ticket will be elected. There are hundreds
of good and true men of the old National
Whig organization who are with us heart and
soul, and who are ready and anxious to record
their votes against the Republican or Aboli-
tion party. Bat the accession of these men
will avail nothing unless the Democracy do
their duty. It becomes our Democratic friends,
therefore, to exert every nerve in this contest,
and to not leave a solitary vote nnpolled in
the county, unless sickness prevents it. This
is a great contest of principle, in which every -
Democrat and every union-loving man has a
deep interest. It is a question in which every
white laboring man in the community should
feel that it is his own cause. The issue is
Nationalism against Sect/ono/ism—DEMOC—
RACY against ABOLITIONISM.
Mr. HOPKINS, the Democratic candidate for
Congress, represents 'the National sentiment
of the county,—and, therefore, is deserving
the support of every Democrat and every Na
tional Whig and American in our community •
Mr. STEVENS represents the sectional or Abo
lition sentiment, and will be supported by all
those who think a negro as good as a white
man, and who favor equalitypequal rights and
privileges, between the white and black races.
Mr. HorziNs is a Union-loving, true-hearted
man, who, if elected, will faithfully and hon
estly represent the people on this and all other
questions which may arise in Congress;—Mr.
STEVENS occupies the opposite platform, is the
very head and front of the Abolition party in
Pennsylvania, and will misrepresent the pub
lic sentiment of the county, if elected, so
strong are his prejudices in favor of the negro
race, and against the constitutional rights of
fifteen States of the Union.
We ask the people to judge fairly and con
scientiously between these 'two men ; and
especially do we now make a closing appeal
to our friends to come up to the work as one
man, and to be sure that every Democratic
vote in the county goes into the ballot-box on
Tuesday. Give that entire day to your coun
try, fellow Democrats, and do not rest satisfied
until every one of your neighbors, who favors
the election of Mr. HOPKINS, has deposited
his vote likewise. Every vote will count in
the present contest, and even one vote
-may turn the scale. Once more, then,
we urge you, one and all, to the conflict.—
Give a "long pull, a strong pull, and a pull
altogether," AND THE DAY IS OUR OWN.
THE COUNTY FAIR
We have only room to say that the County
Fair, which commenced on Tuesday and will
close this afternoon, (Saturday) was every
thing that could have been desired, and must
have been witnessed by more than twenty
thousand persons. The stock, agricultural and
mechanical instruments, fancy and other
articles, with the horses, &c. &c., were supe•
rior to anything we have witnessed in a long
time. The address, which was exceedingly able
and interesting, was delivered on Friday, by
Professor PORTER, of Franklin and Marshall
College, and listened to attentively by an im
mense concourse of people of both sexes.
The election being out of the way, we shall,
in our next issue, give a detailed account of
the Fair, as well as resume our usual variety
in the news and miscellaneous department of
the paper, for which, no (Muhl:, our readers
will be thankful.
LOOK OUT FOR THE " STICKERS I"
The following is a verbatim copy of a letter
received a few days ago by a Democrat of
Mount Joy:
LANCASTER, Oct. 4, 1858
DEAR SIR: Herewith I send you some of my
stickers, hoping that you will place them over
the name of HENRY E. LEMAN upon the Dem
ocratic ticket.
They are making great exersions in Millers
town, Warwick, and Penn to have me defeated
on account of me sustaining the present Mili
tary Law, and I must look to the Military for
their support to - make up the deficiency.
Respectfully, your friend.
SAML. 11. PRICE.
Vir We can assure Col. PRICE that his
"stickers" were duly received, and that they
will either stick in the pocket of the holder, or
be stuck in the stove! He can't come it over
Mr. LE3l.N'fti that way, nn h a hs , can fix it.
The Demociats of Mount Joy, as elsewhere,
whether in the military or not, will all vote
the whole Democratic ticket—State and Coun
ty—without striking a name upon it.
EXAMINE TOUR TICKET !

BEWARE OF TREACHERY!
DEMOCRATS of Lancaster beware of
treachery to JAMES M. HOPKINS and the
Democratic ticket. We have teason to suspect
that men professing to be trieinis of our cause,
will give out mongrel tickets, deceiving honest
voters in the tneu of their choice. Take no
tickets unless from men who are unfaltering,
honest Democrats, and before YOU VOTE
SEE THAT IT IS THE RIGIIT TICKET!
Beware !
EVERY VOTE COUNTS:
DEMOCRATS ! Remember that 0N E
VOTE may decide the election in this county,
on Tuesday next. Hundreds of examples
elsewhere might be given to show the fatal
effect of one solitary vote remaining away
from the polls on the day of election. Good
wishes alone for success amount to nothing.
Do not indulge in the fatal delusion that our
ticket is safe enough without your vote. Put
your own ticket in the ballot box, and see that
your Democratic neighbor does the same.—
WATCH-WORK-BE VIGILANT-AND WE HAVE
EVERY REASON TO BELIEVE THAT WE SHALL BE
REWARDED WITH A GLORIOUS VICTORY
SKIES BRIGHT IN OHIO.—The Ohio States
man says that all goes well with the Demo
cracy of Ohio. Thirteen members of the next
Congress and the election of our whole State
ticket by a large majority, is the mark of the
Democracy, and it will be attained. The
enemy, mostly despairing of being able to
restore and reanimate their forces for a gen
eral campaign, have contented themselves with
frantic efforts in two or three districts. Be
sides successfully defending these, the Democ
racy have "carried the war into Africa," and
we have certainly captured four of their dis
tricts. From this time until the 12th of
October the Democracy will charge along the
line, and secure the election of our State
ticket.

LINE WYIDAP , NOW CALLED UPON
Tel “CRUS I IT OCT," BY irtiOsE,
WHO DESTROYED THE OLD. WHIG
PARTY!
The ABOLITIONISTS, under the assumed
name and guise - of. "Republicans " and
" Union sts," are now loudly calling upon the
old friends of HENRY CLAY and DANIEL WEB
STER, to aid them in their pyesent death
struggle with the Democracy. CLAY' and
WEBSTER are represented as the ancient
adversaries of the Democratic, and the Leaders
of the Whig party, and their old friends and
followers are whiningly beseeched,- in—the
present--crisis, to reward the. Leaders of Alm).
I i tionism, who, by their pestilential association,
first polluted, and then entirely disrupted that
proud old party. We have, on every proper
occasion, introduced to our readers solemn
facts, Om the political history of the country,
to show that neither HENRY CLAY, nor DANIEL
WEBSTER, nor the thousands of other distin
-tinguished men, who were the embodiment of
the Whig party, ever gave the slightest coun
tenance to Abolitionism, even in its mildest
shape or form. On the contrary, these Patriots
and Statesmen united with the Democracy,
against this dangerous Faction, in passing the
"Compromise Measures" of 1850; and, ever
since the Presidential nomination of 1852,
have stood upon the National platform of the
Democratic party.
Will THADDEUS STEVENS, or any of his
pupils who are displaying their oratory through
the county, dare to contradict any position we
have here assumed, or charge that we have
made?
Will they deny that whilst Josteu RANDALI,
REVERDY JOHNSON, PEARCE and PRATT, of
Maryland, PRESTON, of Kentucky, with hun
dreds of other Old Line Whigs, united with
the Democracy in the memorable campaign of
1856, and, in the loudest tones of their burning
eloquence, gallantly aided in sustaining the
doctrines and principles of the Democratic
party—recognizing " popular sovereignty"
and the " equal rights of all the States," as
vital principles in the Democratic creed."
Will Mr. STEVENS, or his orators, or organs, we
ask, deny the " odious truth," that at that very
time his Black Republican allies—the orators
of his party—booked up in their parts by HIS
Convention—were Iluoding the country with
such " NATIONAL SENTIMENTS " as
would, (if such things could be,) cause the
bones of WASHINGTON and JACKSON to rattle
in their coffins 1 Their Black Republican
Speakor, BANKS, declared his willingness, " in
a certain state of circumstances, to let the
UNION slide!"
Judge SPAULDING, (an Ohio leader,) in the
Abolition Convention, said: stir. In case of
the alternative being presented of the continuance
of Slavery or a dissolu tion of the Union, lam
for DISSOLUTION, 'and I care not how quick
it comes ! !
The witty Senator, JOHN P. HALE, in ad
dressing the same Convention, said: ter You
have assembled not to say whether the UNION
SHALL BE PRESERVED, but whether it
shall be a blessing or a scorn or hissing among
the Nations! 1
BURLINGAME, one of the greatest of the
Massachusetts big guns,, said in the U. S.
House of Representatives, in 1856: seer The
times DEMAND, and we MUST have, an Anti
Slavery CONSTITUTION, an Anti-Slavery BIBLE,
and an Anti Slavery GOD!!!
WENDELL PHILLIPS, in his harangue at a
free soil Abolition meeting at Boston, dis
courses as follows: 41&" We confess that WE
intend to trample under foot the Constitution of
thiB Country ! DANIEL WEB` , TER says to you:
"
You are a LAW-abiding People —that the
glory of New England is, that it is a Law
Abiding Community!" SHAME on it, if this
be true; if even the Religion of New England
sinks as lour as its Statute book! But I say,
we are not a Law Abiding Community!—GOD
be thanked for it !
The notorious WM. LLOYD GARRISON pro
nounced his malediction, as follows, before a
New York audience: g This Union is to
lie! The American Union is a Sham, an Im
posture, a Covenant with DEATH, an Agreement
with HELL, and it is our business to call for a
DISSOLUTION !! !
These are but faint samples of the Bedlamite
ravings of Abolition Leaders, in the Northern
and Eastern States, throughout the Presiden-
tial campaign of 1856. The mind is lost in
astonishment on looking at the revolting pic
ture, presented in these maniac howling of
Abolition: wire-pullers. Sumner, Wilson,
Giddings, Wade, Seward, and hundreds of
others for whose names we have no room,
from THADDEUS STEVENS down to Gen. JAMES
WATSON WEBB, occupy conspicuous niches in
this magnificent galaxy of UNION—LOVING
DEFENDERS OF THE CONSTITUTION!!!
The old friends of HENRY CLAY and DANIEL
WEBSTER asked to follow the lead of a party
having no vitality outside of the fearful doc
trines above presented! Why, the very
utterance of such an idea should be sufficient
almost to induce Saints above to look down in
anger upon it as a gross profanation of the
name and principles of the Illustrious Dead I
The nationality, the patriotism of Ilit-rav
CLAY has never been doubted. In early life,
and up to the time of the Presidential troubles
of 1824—'25, he was a prominent member of
the Democratic party. He afterwards became
connected with the old Whig party, which so
long and honorably contended for supremacy
with the Democracy; both standing upon the
broad Constitutional platform. He became
the proudly recognized Leader of the Whig
party, and once its candidate for the Presi
dency. He lived to witness and mourn over
its disruption: and before his death he again
stood, with thousands and tens of thousands
of his trusty followers, side by side with the
old Democratic party, on the only Constitu•
tional Platform in existence!
Let us now hear lIENRY CLAY upon Aboli
tionism! lie witnessed the insidious advances
of the political Hyena, and raised his powerful
voice to avert the approaching mischief, which
his prophetic vision descried in the far off
distance of time! Yes, fellow citizens of Lan
caster county, the Sage of Ashland, in his seat
in the Senate of the United States, as early as
the ith of February, 1839, was called upon to
speak upon the danger to be apprehended to
the stability of the Union; from the encroach.
ment of Abolitionism. Mr. CLAY, ill addressing
the Senate. said:
" I am not in the habit of speaking lightly
of the possibility of dissolving the Union! The
Senate know that I have deprecated allusions,
on ordinary occasions, to that direful event.—
The country will testify, that if there is any
thing in the history of my public career
worthy of recollection, it is the truth and sin
verity of my ardent devotion to its lasting
preservation! But we should be false in our
allegiance to or, if we did not discriminate
between the imaginary and real dangers by
which it may be assailed. ABOLITIONISM
should no longer be regarded as an imaginary
danger! The ABOLITIONISTS, let me sup.
pose, succeed in their present aim of uniting
the inhabitants of the free States, as one man,
against the inhabitants of the slave States!—
UNION on one side, will beget ONION on the
other, and this process of reciprocal consolida
tion will be attended with all the violent
prejudice, embittered pass-ions, and implacable
animosities that ever degraded or deformed
human nature! One section will stand in
menacing and hostile array against the other!
The collisions of opinions will be quickly fol
lowed by theclash of arms! * * * * *
ABOLITIONISTS themselves would shrink
back in dismay and horror at the eontempla.
tion of desolated fields, conjlagrated cities,
murdered inhabitants, and the overthrow of the
fairest fabric of Human Government that ever

ruse to cialnat4 fhe hopes ofcicitded mein ! 1
It would fill a volume to follow Mr. CLAY
in the eloquent and startling warnings he has
given tkis countrymen, from the time he made
the above speech to his last effort in public life.
We will, therefoie, only introduce a brief
extract or two from a speech he made in 1851,
before the Legislature of Kentucky, where, he
appeared, by special invitation, to give his
views on the subjept of the "Compromise
Measures" of the preceding year, and in
reference to the parties and prominent actors
in that eventfui struggle. In the thrilling
strains of-his-own,-masterly eloquence he dis
charged-this duty--Irivingalife-like descrip
tion, not only of what had already taken place,
but what he saw approaching through the vista
of time! How unerring has been' his predio
tionsl After the applause succeeding one of
his bursts of matchless eloquence, Mr. CLAY
proceeded:
" Sir, I go a step farther ; 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
country. But if it is to be merged into a con
temptible Abolition party, and if Abolitionism
is to be engrafted on the Whig creed, from that
moment I . renounce the party and cease to be a
Whig. I go 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
doctrines utterly subversive of the Constitution
of the Union."
Again, in the same speech, Mr. CLAY said
"Out of our late heated discussions and
diversions, one good result has been produced.
The people generally, Whigs and Democrats,
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, /wax in
conference and consultation quite as often, if
not 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."
Here, truly, is a damper to the high expec
tations of the Abolition managers, who have
been claiming the sympathy and support of
the "old line Whig friends" of HENRY CLAY!
We might introduce upon the forum the sons
and representatives of HENRY CLAY and DAN
IEL WEBSTER, (who. it will be remembered,
spoke in Lancaster two years ago,) ,for the
purpose of showing that the Sages of Ashland
and Marshfield stood erect and firm upon the
NATIONAL DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM, when the
grim messenger came to remove them from
earth. But, we have produced enough to put
down FALSEHOOD, and vindicate TRUTH!
Rally, Democrats !
TO THE POLLS ! TO THE POLLS ! !
The General Election will be held on Tues
day next, the
12= OT OCTOBER.
Democrats of the several districts, are you
ready, and have you made every preparation
to have a full vote out. Remember, EVERY
VOTE must be polled. Not one vote must be
left behind. If every preparation has not been
made, SEE TO IT WITHOUT FURTHER
DELAY.
BE ON THE GROUND EARLY
and see that you deposit your
VOTE EARLY.
After having deposited your own vote, see that
YOUR NEIGHBOR
deposits his vote. See to this, and if the
weather should not be fair, or from some other
cause your neighbor cannot get to the polls,
provide a conveyance for him, and see that his
Tote is safely deposited in the ballot box.
BE CAREFUL
that not a single vote is lost, or left away from
the polls. The election will, most likely, be
closely contested, and it is a matter of impor
tance that every Democratic vote should be
polled.
EXAMINE YOUR TICKETS!
See that you examine your tickets carefully
See that it is the full ticket and that
EVERY NAME IN CORRECT.
Vote the whole ticket WITHOUT SCRATCH—
ING A NAME. A good Democrat votes for
principles, and votes the entire ticket as regu
larly nominated.
BEWARE OF STORIES
that may be circulated just on the eve of the
election. These are generally gotten up when
it is too late to contradict them. Listen not
to any such things about the candidates. But
STICK TO THE TICKET I
Be vigilant—be active, WORK HARD ALL
DAY. RALLY FOR THE GOOD OLD
CAUSE—Work together—Use all Mr and
honorable means to secure success. GIVE A
LONG PULL—A STRONG PULL AND A
PULL ALTOGETHER, for the WHOLE
TICKET, and victory will perch upon our
banners!
CAN THEY BE BOUGHT
Can any portion of our Democratic friends
—native or foreign born—be bought and bribed
to vote for THADDEUS STEVENS? We do not
believe it—we have too much confidence in
their integrity for that. And yet, it is certain
that the Republican leaders are spending
money like water, and have already distributed
thousands of dollars in this City and County
to further the election of this "bold, bad than."
It bas come to a pretty pass indeed, when
MONEY has to be resorted to in Lancaster
county for the purpose of BUYING votes to
carry an election; but such is the fact, and
STEVENS' lacqueys are boasting openly that
they will elect him if it should cost TEN
THOUSAND DOLLARS! Will the free and
independent citizens of the county stand this
mode of electioneering? We think not. On
the contrary, we believe that they will teach
this corrupt and dishonest Abolition party a
lesson, at the Polls, on TUESDAY NEXT,
which they will not soon forget.
A GREAT CONFLAGRATION !
The Crystal Palace, at New York, with all
its contents, was totally destroyed by fire on
Tuesday afternoon. It is supposed that sev
eral lives were lost.
The value of the building was estimated at
$250,000, and the contents nearly double that
amount—thus making a total loss of some
$700,0001 The building was crowded with
articles on exhibition of almost every possible
description. There were about 2000 visitxs
in the building at the time the fire commenced.
The flames spread with astonishing rapidity,
and the heat was intense ; yet the large num
ber of visitors all managed to get out safely.
The fire originated in the lumber room of the
building, which was filled with empty boxes
and old lumber, and is supposed to have been
the work of an incendiary.
Fifty-one Republicans and Know Nothings
in the House of Representatives which elected
Banks Speaker, there being a majority of the
" Opposition" in the House, voted in 1857 to
reduce the duty on iron from thirty to twenty
four per cent I The same party which reduced
the duty, is now making great professions of
its devotion to the iron interests, and of its
desire to see them protected in the iron " dis
tricts" of Pennsylvania and Ohio-!

BLACK REPUBLICAN ABUSE.
Amongst the speakers at the Abolition meeting held in
Maytown, a few days ago, was Mr. 0. J. DICKEY, who In
dulged in all kinds of abuse of prominent Democrats,
amongst others of our young friend, Tema J. AIBRIG HT,
Esq., now of Washington City. It won't avail these Abo
litionists, however. Mr. A. Is too well known in East
Donegal to be injured by each Black Republican slang
whangers; and those who indulge in it, will find that
they era Injuring themselves, and benefiting the object of
their hatred. We would desire no better eulogy then to
have the abuse and falsehoods of such men as Dickey,
Johnston and Shenk showered upon our head.

1. Awl the Boned of trumpets and the noise of many
warriors was heard throughout the lat,d, and there was sore
dirdreas throughout all the domin Inns of King Thaddeus.
2. And many ainjwire were tho battles fought between
the black legions of the King and the lion-hearted warri
ors of James of/I/rumor°, and the flag of freedom waived
over many of ,the strong fortresses of the laud.
8. And it 'came to pus that the Klog, weary and faint
from the team and bloody war, resolved to make one more
bold end'datermined aZart to save his Grown and his king
dom, and to that end he sent a herald to James of Drutnore
challenging him to fight a grand and decisive battle on the
twelfth day of the tenth month;
'4. Saying, go to, let us sod this bloody strife by one
final appeal to arms, and whosoever is discomfited let him
be the servant of the other, he and his warriors, with their
wives and their little ones, forever.
6. And the saying of the King pleased James of Dna
mare well, and he straightway commanded his Lieutenants
throughout the realm to assemble the brave men under
their command in the great valley of the Conestoga, pre
paratory to the decisive battle; King Thaddeus also did
the same, and the whole country was in anxious suspense
as to the reenit of the approaching battle.
6. And the King returned to his Palace, and his chief
captains and counsellors gathered around him.
7. The Chief Captain of the people, James of Drumore,
also pitched his tont in the gnat city of the kingdom, rea
dy end willing to lead hie valiant followers forth to the
conflict.
8. And behold! there was great commotion throughout
the entire country of the Conestoga. and every man girded
on his armor and went forth to the battle.
THE FOREIGN VOTE
The Republican leaders are boasting that
they have bought over many of our Irish and
German fellow citizens to vote for THADDEUS
STEVENS. We do not believe a word of such
stuff. The idea that this class of cur people
will so far forget their duty and stultify them
selves. as to turn their backs upon the Democ
racy who hare always stand by and protected
them in tlieli- rights, and vote , hat party
or for its candidates who have alo-ors been
their most inveterate enemies. is an to
their integrity, good sense
patriotism. No—no. t ti! Irish German
Democratic friends will do nothing the kind
—they will not no such treacherons part to
wards their old friends and !woo iiii•aiiiips.—
They hare always been Demoor and will
remain such despite all the intlipinces which
can he brought to hear against them. whether
it. he in the stoma of money, or any thing else.
What! The Irish and German population
of this city or county to vote for THAD
DEUS STEVENS the Chief of the Aholitionists
in Pennsylvania, is preposterous to contem
plate. To vote for a man who, if he obtained
the power, would SO free every mp, in the
Southern States, and have our State, hilt par
titularly Lancaster and other border counties,
over run with hordes of these dmraded crea
tures, is what we are sore they cannot do, if
they give the subject a moment's reflection.—
Why, every Negro that comes amongst us
must he supported and employed, and, as a
necessary consequence, will take the support
and employment from a White Mon ; end just
in proportion as Negroes are introduced, in
the same ratio will White laboring men he
driven out. Let Abolitionism have the sway,
and in a few years there will he as many
Negroes in Pennsylvania as Whites ; and this
is the feast to which our foreign horn citizens
are invited by the Republican leaders in Lan.
caster county ! Let our Irish and German
friends think of this before it is ton I ite.
ONE CAUSE OF HIGH TAXES
The people complain, and very justly too, of
high taxes, both State and County. Ono
cause, and the nrincipal one, undoubtedly. is
the extravagance of our public men. Formerly,
members of Congress, when such intellectual
giants as Webster, and Clay, and Calhoun,
and Buchanan were Representatives, were
content with EIGHT DOLLARS per diem, or
less than twenty-five hundred dollars for the
entire term of two sessions ; now, they must
have over TWENTY DOLLARS per day, or SIX
THOUSAND DOLLARS for the two sessions !
Formerly, members of the Legislature received
three dollars per day; now they vote themselves
SEVEN DOLLARS ! This extravagant in
crease of Legislative pay, together with the
enormous waste of the public funds under the
Ritner Administration, when THADDEUS STE
VENS was Canal Commissioner, will sufficiently
account for the onerous State tax to which the
people are subject; and the equally burden
some County tax may be traced to the great
expense of the Contested Election Case of last
year, and the cost of trying Negroes in our
Criminal Court, and supporting them in the
Poor House and Prison. Whilst this state of
things continues, the people may look in vain
for a diminution of their taxes. The best way
to put a stop to these enormous leaks in the
publio treasury, is to oppose the man or mea
who created them, and to vote for the Demo
cratic candidates for Congress and Assembly,
who are pledged to reform, and to a reduction
of salaries.
A FEW FACTS FOR TAX-PAYERS I
Many years ago THADDEUS STEVENS left
Vermont, the land of wooden nutmegs and
Yankee notions, and pitched his tent in gond
old Pennsylvania. From that day to this he
has been an eye-sore and a trouble to our peo•
ple, and has cost the State more than any ten
men who have ever lived in it. Look at the
figures:
The Gettysburg Tapeworm (prin
cipal and interest) about $2,000,000
The Buckshot War (principal and
interest)
The Masonic Inquisition (princi
pal and Interest)
The Contested Election Case of
last year,
Amount,
To this might be added THREE or FOUR
MILLIONS more of the public money, reck—
lessly squandered by the Ritner administration
and by his Canal Commissioners (of whom
STEVENS was one) in their futile attempt to
perpetuate their power in the State. During
that administration, they also received about
THREE MILLIONS OF DOLLARS from the
General Government—the State's quota from.
the sale of the public lands—and that, too,
was spent in their electioneering efforts; and
all the time the State debt, instead of being
reduced, was increased to the amount of some
SIX or EIGHT MILLIONS in the three
years of their misrule !
We wish the voters of Lancaster county to
consider this matter well before they vote on
Tuesday next. If these Yankee adventurers
have made the people of Pennsylvania "pay so
dear for the whistle" in the past, they should
be deprived of the power of repeating such
experiments in the future. We want the tax
payers to reflect on the matter.
THE GRAIN CROP oe EUROPE.—The Boston
Journal thus epitomizes the infi,rmation res
pecting the European grain crop of 1858, as
derived from latest English papers :
" In the counties bordering upon the Med
iterranean the crop is variously reported, but
upon the whole may be regarded as equal to,
if not exceeding. an average. Egypt will
furnish full average. Spain and Portugal
will not require any supplies from other coun
tries. In Belgium and Holland there is an
average crop ; while in the Baltic regions,
including Northern Germany and Western
Russia, the yield is below an average, athough
high prices may induce exports to some extent.
In France there is a fair crop of wheat and
rye, oats being inferior. The cereal crop of
England exceeds the average, and a portion of
the extraordinary wheat yield of last year still
remains in the hands of farmers to be added
to this year's harvest. Other breadstuffs are
somewhat under the average. In Ireland all
kinds of produce are abundant, compared with
recent years. The wheat crop of Scotland is
excellent, other crops being medium, and pos
sibly below. On the whole, the United-King
dom will this year require smaller imports of
grain than in ordinary seasons: The supplyf
ing power of Central Russia is not yet deter
mined."
