AUDITOR GENERAL: RICHARDSON L. WRIGHT, PlUlada. SURVEYOR GENERAL: JOHN ROWE, Franklin. THE COUNTY CONVENTION. This body will meet in Fulton Hall on to morrow at 11 o’clock. May we not express a hope that their proceedings will be harmo nious. There is really nothing that should disturb the harmony of the party. On the vexed question of slavery, the Cincinnati platform of 1856 is broad eoough and strong enough for every Democrat to stand upon ; and there is too much at Btake in the coming issue in Pennsylvania to permit for a moment the agitation of any question, inconsiderable in itself, calculated to divide our strength. If we go into the contest a united party, victory is as certain as that the day of election arrives. We therefore urge upon our friends the impor tance of avoiding everything of an inharmo nious character, and resolve to unite as a band of brothers in support of the regularly nominated candidates of the party for State and County offices. Let us one and all firmly resolve that by-gones shall be by-gones, and with one heart and one soul rally around the glorious old flag which has waved in triumph over many a hard-fought battle field. OFF THE FENCE I Our good neighbors of the Examiner have at length defined their position. They are now out and out Black Republican, and will ing to go their death for Simon Cameron for the next Presidency. Had Mr. Darlington still been the editor of that paper its course would doubtless have been different; but as this is emphatically an age of progress, and as our handsome neighbor, who especially controls the editorial department of the Exam iner, is a progressive man, we do not wonder at the sudden metamorphosis in the political character of this ancient Whig organ. The time was, and that not very remote, when the Examiner would not have advocated Black Republican Abolition doctrines, much less would it have assisted in furthering the pre tensions of that notorious political trimmer, Simon Cameron, to the high and honorable office of the Presidency; but that period has gone by in its hi.»tory. It no longer occupies the proud position of being one of the most conservative journals in the State, and of wielding an inllucnco in its party second to no other any where in the Union. It is no longer the Examiner of fifteen or twenty years ago, when its voice was potential in rallying the Whig legions of the Old Guard in defenoe of what its patrons honestly believed to be correct doctrines and policy. Then Henry Clay— the great, the noble, the eloquent— was its beau idea! of a statesman and a patri ot ; now, it has abandoned the race of giants, and is the warm and zealous advocate of Simon Cameron, a mere pigmy in intellect and statesmanship, and a perfect harlequin in politics! But, wonders will never cease, and the longer we live tho more we are convinced that the leaders of the Opposition will resort to any means, no matter in what a pitiable plight it places them, in order to secure the control of the Government and the spoils cop sequent thereupon. MONEY WANTED! Some timo ago we noticed an address issued by the Bla,Qk Republican National Com mittee, earnestly calling for money to be used in the printing and distribution of election eering documents. The call must have been a successful one, as a short time since we received two tracts, under the frank of John Covode, a Republican member of Congress from Western Pennsylvania—the one entitled “ Lands for the JxnuUess and the other “ How we are Governed.” Both are ” catch voters,” as their titles clearly indicate. With such stuff,under the fraudulent frank of Repub lican members of Congress—unless the recent decision of the Postmaster General refusing to send documents without thej have on them the genuine frank of the member—the mails will no doubt be lumbered from now until the Presidential election of 18G0, and if the Post Office Department don't pay expenses the Democracy will get all the blame. The franking privilege has long been enough abused by members of Congress themselves, and Republican members should not; employ every Tom, Dick and Harry to do the same thing. All the documents not properly frank ed were tabooed by the Postmaster General, and every good man of every party will give him credit for his decision. It is proper that the Opposition should have the same facilities through the mails as the Democrats, for the transmission of their heavy electioneering lit erature, but neither party should be allowed to abuse the privilege as the Republicans,, with John Covode and others at their head, have been doing But to return from this digression. The Republican leaders arc beginning to dun the “ friends of freedom ” for money. “ Money,” “money,” say they, “ makes the mare go.”— Here is the form of the demand made by the Republican National Committee : “To give practical effect to these sugges tions an adequate amount of money will be required, for the legal and'faithful expenditure of which the undersigned will hold them selves responsible.” “Money,” for what? To promote the cause of freedom by keeping free States out of the Union, as was attempted in the oases of Oregon and Minnesota ? “ Money ”to enable them to “ resist the laws of the land,” and defeat the election of judges “ who recognize the laws,” as Mr. Giddings and Judge Spaulding of Ohio recommend? ” Money” to subsidize the press, andjbuy-votes ? What is the neces sity for “ money ?” Has the Kansas fund become exhausted V What has become of the hundreds of thousands of dollars filched from the hands of honest but unsuspecting indus try by the freedom shriekers of '55 knd ’56 ? Is the same cheat to be repeated ir/’6O ? We apprehend the Republican masses will demand that these demagogues render an account of their stewardship before they trust them with further means. This Republican circular i 9 un advertise-' ment that a horde of idlers, psalm Bingers, Bharpers and cheats are soon to be commis eioned by the Republican National Commit tee to ransack the land upon an errand of money begging. We caution our Republican friends “to beware of these wolves in sheep’s clothing.” Hon. T. A. Hendricks.— This gentleman has resigned his appointment of Commissioner of the General Land Office, he being a candi date for Governor of Indiana. Mr. H. was a oapital Commissioner, and if he makes as good a Governor, of which we have no doubt, the people of Indiana will be admirably suited in a talented and worthy Executive. He ja a native, we believe, of Franklin county, in this State, and studied law in Chambersburg. AN UNMITIGATED FALSEHOOD. The Black Republican State Central Com mittee for this State, of which Levi Kline, Esq., of Lebanon, is Chairman, have publish ed, recently, an Address to the people of Pennsylvania, which contains more falsehoods and misrepresentations than any similar doc ument that we have ever read. We pass over a stereotyped "attack upon slavery in the States, ip which the Republicans profess to have no concern, but tire, nevertheless, con stantly meddling with, to reach the grand climax of audacity, in the following passage which would be ridiculous, if it were not so outrageously false and unfounded: The requirement of the passage of a slave code for the Territories, by Congress, is now boldly put forth, and has received the recog nition of that large division of “the Demo cratic par:y,” which adheres to the national administration in this State and elsewhere.— It is an issue which must be met, and it is for you to declare at the polls your decision upon it. You cannot oppose it, and at the same time support the so-Btyled “ Democratic Ticket” in Pennsylvania. Emboldened by the ready submission which has been yielded to all their demands by the Administration Democratic party, and resolute in their deter mination to crush out free labor where ever it can come into competition with their own hostile system, the propagandists of slavery have actually determined to take the still further step 1 of re opening the African Slave Trade, and have already introduced into the country cargoes of savage negroes, smuggled across the ocean, and novaheld to compulsory service on the rice, sugar and cotton fields of the South. Here we have, says the Carlisle Volunteer, the direcUanff unqualified assertion that “ the large division of the Democratic party which adheres to the National Administration in this State and elsewhere,” requires the passage of a slave code by Congress. Now, amongst all the Democratic papers of the State, there is not, we are bold to avow, a single one which has, in the slightest degree, cuuntenanced the idea of a slave code for the Territories. Nor do we believe there is a solitary man in Pennsylvania, and but very few out of it, who are advocates of a “ slave code for the Territories.” Certainly, the most influential Democratic journals of the South take directly opposite ground. Nor is there a single man in Pennsylvania, and not one in a thousand out of it, who advocates the re-opening of the African Slave Trade.— The National Administration is using every effort to suppress this trade, and are endeav oring to bring to condign punishment the Black Republican scoundrels of New York and Massachusetts who are engaged in it.— To accomplish the breaking up of the traffic more effectually, the President has directed the African squadron to be augmented and furnished with vessels of light draught, so as to be able to pursue the slavers into the rivers and shallow waters of the coast. The Home squadron has also been re organized for the same purpose, and the whole power of the Government has been put forth for its sup pression. It is a fact, we believe, that every slave vessel that has yet been captured, was owned and fitted out by parties in New York or Massachusetts, who, at homo, call themselves “ Republicans." Heaven forfend the country against the political ascendency of such a party ! And yet these “ Republicans ” —these negro stealers—cry out against the Democrats, and accuse us with favoring the re-opening of the African Slave Trade! Out upon such barefaced hypocrisy and infamy! “ Oh, for a whip in every honest man’s hand to lash the rascals naked round the world.” A LESSON FOR POLITICIANS, Three years ago Franklin Pierce, President of the U. States, was the best abused man in tho country. The English language hardly furnished expletives sufficiently strong to denounce him, and many prominent men, editors and stump orators, gloried in their ability to traduce and vilify him. More than two years ago President Pierce retired from his exalted position, and became a private citizen. From that period a reaction has steadily been working, and now we find him among the most popular of living American statesmen. Since his return from Europe he has been greeted with the warmest demon strations of respect from the people of all parties, and his progress from Boston to his home at Concord has been a triumphal ovation. Not a word of reproach is uttered against him—(save and except from the New York Herald, whose unprincipled editor he very properly spurned from his presence at the commencement of his Presidency)—but where ever he appears he receives the most generous welcome and the highest honors. This is not to be wondered at; for a truer patriot, and a more warm-hearted man does not live, as his numerous friends, and he counts them by hundreds of thousands, will abundantly testify. HON. STEPHEN A. DOUGLAS. This distinguished statesman is now on a western tour, and delivering addresses at vari ous points. We publish, in another column, an abstract of his speech at ColJimbus, Ohio, on Wednesday last, so that our readers may have his views on the questions of non-inter vention and popular sovereignty. Although Judge Douglas does not say so unqualifiedly, we think he defines his course sufficiently to warrant the belief that he will support the nominee of the Charleston Convention, in 1860, no matter who may be the candidate. We also give a brief extract from his speech at Pittsburg on the previous day, accompanied with such comments as we think it deserves. The course he has now adopted of making his sentiments known to the American people, is decidedly preferable, in our judgment, to that of promulgating his opinions through the col umns of Harpers’ Magazine, to which we took exception last week. / Large . Sale and Great Bargain.— The Carlisle Iron Works were sold on Thursday week, at public outcry, on the premises, by the assignees of Peter F. Ege, Esq., for $55,- 100. The purchasers were Wm. M. Beetem and Cary W. Ahl, of Carlisle, Wm. D. Himes, of Adams county, and Wm. Young, of York county. This is one of the best properties in Pennsylvania, containing (in addition to tho Iron Works, &c.) 9,000 acres of land, between 400 and 500 acres of which are under cultivation, and the residue well timbered.— The purchasers certainly secured a great bargain. Bvrant & Stratton’s Mercantile Col leges.—These Institutions are graduating, yearly, hundreds of young men qualified for all the duties of the Counting House, and many of them now fill posts of trust and profit. A business Education is the most available capital a young man can possess and almost; all.may acquire this. The reputation of these Colleges extend over the Union. Now is the time to enter. See card in another column. WILMINGTON ELECTION, The municipal election in the City of Wilmington, came off on Tuesday last, and resulted in the complete triumph of the Democratic candidates. For Mayor, Thomas Young, (Dem.) had 183 majority ; Alderman, John Wright, (Dem.) 54 majority ; Assessor’, Jhhn McNeal, (Dem.) 50 majority. A very large vote was polled and there was much excitement. Last fall the Opposition carried the City, with the exception of the Mayor, who was elected by a very meagre majority, not over a dozen votes. NEGRO | Our readers are well aware that in some of the States where Black Republicanism reigns ! supreme, negroes enjoy rights and privileges from which white naturalized citizens are excluded; but they will be more surprised when they read the following article from the Boston Atlas, the acknowledged organ of the Black Republicans of Massachusetts, edited . by Gen. Sobouler, the Republican candidate for Clerk of the next House of Representa tives, at Washington. The editor says:— ■ “Is it proved or even rendered probable 1 that the colored race, if emancipated, could not take care of themselves? We say it is not, and to assert it as the Times does, is : simply begging the whule question. Is it proved or rendered probable that the Africans ; cannnot live in this country on an equality with ■ whites f WE SAY IT IS NOT, and that no | man who asserts it has ever yet demonstrated : the truth of bis assertion by any conclusive reasoning. “ It is not at all pertinent to instance the condition of the black man as a condition to ' permit the testing of the question. Because i Wisconsin is mean and narrow minded enough 'to refuse to allow a negro, however intelligent, i to vote, it by no meaus proves that the negro ' does not deserve the privilege, nor, because Wisconsin at the same time, permits A RAW IRISHMAN AND AN IGNORANT DUTCH MAN to vote, when he neither knows his own politics nor that of his candidate, does it prove that Wisconsin is either just or wise in making this arbitrary discrimination ? Let us be just and sensible, as well as critical and patriotic, Mr. Doolittle. The only fair test of the capacity and disposition of the black man to dwell, SIDE BY SIDE. ON TERMS OF EQUALITY WITH THE WHITE, is to take him where he does enjoy that equality. Unfortunately there is nojplace where this is the case to the full extent, for prejudice does much, even in the most favored, localities, to oppress the colored man. " But suppose we take the free colored men of Massachusetts, where they are respected and treated as citizens, and what is the result? Why, we venture the assertion, with out fear of successful contradiction, that you may take the five thousand negroes as they tome, and a thousand Irishmem in the same way, and you will find the negroes surpass the Irishmen of Boston in intelligence, morality and industry, and good citizenship, they are more thrifty, more orderly, and every way superior ; it is the same in the oity of Phila delphia, as facts will abundantly prove. Now what right have we to say, with such a preli miriary lesson, that the black man could not prove himself worthy of freedom and oitizen ship ?” It will be observed that this Black Repub lican organ speaks of the State of Wisconsin “ mean and narrow minded," because she refuses negroes the right to vote. Reasoning from the same premises, Pennsylvania must be mean and narrow minded, because like Wisconsin, she denies the negro the right of suffrage. Will decent white people, says the Bedford Gazette, bear this Black Republican insult unresented? We ask the question —we put it to the self respecting and intelligent men who have hitherto voted the Black Republican ticket —can any white man who believes himself bet ter than a negro, cast his vote, in future, with a party that maintains that a negro is as good as he ? Are party ties so strong that they will bind him even to a greasy Ethiopian ? Let the ballot box reply. On the appearance of the article above quoted, the Cincinnati Enquirer, a Democratic paper, took occasion to make some strictures upon the positions taken therein, whereupon the Black Republican Atlas replied : “If you will come here we will show you, any day, our colored fellow citizen riding in the ears on the same scat with the aristocrat of Beacon street and Chester Square, and neither the negro nor the white man appears in the least disturbed or harmed by the proximity. And as for political franchises, we will just inform our friend that, in Massachusetts, a black man's vote is just as good and counts as much as Mr. Winthrop's or Everett's, and that there are now no political disabilities imposed upon any man on account of the color of his skin.” i Such are the practical results of Black Re publicanism, boasted of and heralded forth by an accredited leading Black Republican organ, And these results are attributable to the fact that the Black Republican party wants negro votes for its candidates, as they “ count as much as Mr. Winihrop's or Edward Everett's .”— The true aim of Black Republicanism is the public plunder, and hence its efforts to give the black man the right to vote.

Fatal Affray at Millersville.— On Sat urday night last, between 12 and 1 o’clock, an affray occurred at the beautiful and quiet village of Millersville, fonr mile* from this city, which resulted in the death of a man named Dochty, and the wounding of another named Kanffman. The circumstances, so far as we hare ascer tained them, appear to be as follows: A party of yonng men called at the bouse of C. Rommel, the gate-keeper at the lower end of the village, who also keeps a beer-house, and, after awakening the inmates, demanded a drink, which given them by the wife of Rommel. They be came noisy and turbulent, and wanted more beer, which was refused; after which they commenced injuring the furniture, and became very abusive and insulting to the woman. Mr. R. succeeded in ejecting them from the house) after wounding Dochty slightly with shot bred from a pis tol. Mr. R. and his wife then retreated up stairß, when the party outside commenced stoning the house, smashing in the windows, Ac., Ac. At this stage Rommel fired a gun loaded with buckshot from an upper window, wounding Kauffman slightly iu the arm, and killing Dochty almost instantly. Two of the bnckshot struck him In the back under the left shoulder blade, and penetrated the heart.— Mr. Rommel gave himself up Immediately, and was com mitted to prison by Justice Denues, of Millersville, for a bearing on yesterday morning. Pic Nic.—The Yeegers and the Sooieties attached to St. Joseph’s (German) Catholic Church, St. Jo seph street, held a Pic Nic yesterday, on the grounds of the former, on the Conestoga, near Witmer’s Bridge. The Ytcgera paraded in full uniform, and the Societies in their regalia. They were accompanied by an excellent brass band. We understand that they had a glorious time, cel ebrating the day in'real Teutonic style. Our Next County Fair. —We are glad to cee that the work of preparation for the next Fair of the Lancaster County Agricultural and Mechanical Society is progressing rapidly. Tho Managers had.fi meeting on Friday last, and made out their list of Judges. They also issued orders for the complete remodeling of their Hail or Fine Arts, so as to render the articles placed therein safe from iojury by rain, and as far as possible from dust. All the other buildings as well ae the stalls and fences are in good condition. They have all been' gotten up on the largest scalo, and the accommodations in every depart ment are sufficient not only for this but all the surrounding counties. We are Informed that extensive arrangements aro being made throughout the city and county for the exhibition of articles at the Pair, and that tho prospects aro that it will be the largest and best ever held in the county. AgriculturalVisitors. —By the last Read ing Gaztllt we observe that the Berks County Agricultural Society has appointed H. H. Mdhlendeko, Esq., Dr. Jobs Stephen and Hon. John C. Evans visitors to the ensuing Fair of the Lancaster Coonty Agricultural and Mechanical Society. We can promise these gentlemen a cordial recep tion from tho sturdy fanners of the “utd Guard/' and especially the officers of our Agricultural Society. Burglary. —The country must be filled with petty thieves and burglars, who lose no opportunity to plunder tho people of any thlDg and e?6ry thing they can lay their hands upon, whether under lock and key, or lying about loose. On Tuesday night last the distillery of Mr. Jtcoii Sbner, near Rohrerstown, was broken open, aud four brass spiggots stolen thorefropi. These articles will probably bo sold by the thieves as old brass. The trouble and inconvenience to which Mr. 8. has been put in oouse quence of the theft, amounts to three times as much as the spiggots were really worth. He offers a reward of ten dol lars for the arrest of the thief or thieves. Rhenish Wine. —We are indebted to Mr. Frederick Miller, of the Centre Square Lager Beer Saloon, for a bottle of pure Rhenish or Dutch Wine, recently imported from Europe. We have tasted it, aud, although a poor judge, are prepared to pronounce it the genuine stuff. Those desirous of procuring the article would do well to give Fred, a cal!, as he has a supply of the article on haDd. and will take great pleasure in doi f ig the ‘ agree able” to his customers. Neiy Firm.— Messrs. John Dearer and John P. Scuaum havo purchased tho establishment of lion. C. Kieffer, No. 7 East King street, and, having made many improvements, now display about the largest assort ment of Stoves, Tin and Copper Ware In the city. The former gentleman was for a long time Chief Clerk.in this establishment, and tho latter for several years one of the principal workmen in tho extensive shops connected with it. Being both practical, business men, and attending personally to their establishment, there can be no doubt of their doing a large trade. We wish them every success.

The Aurora and the Frost. — Our ex changes from the East and from the West, from the North and from the South, from points as far north as Toronto, as far west as St. Louis, and sonth to New Orleans, contain more or less glowing descriptions of the Aurora Borealis, or Magnetic Storms, which visited this hemisphere week before last. The variety of colors, rapidity of movement, and duration of the display, appear to have been every where unprecedented. The New York Tribunt says : “At all points the changes in the temperature appear to have been noticed. In Toronto it was so cold on Sunday and Monday as to necessitate winter clothing and forcibly to suggest frost. At Littleton, N'. H., there fas a frost: the earth froze and ice formed. There was a slight frost in the neighborhood of Manchester, N. 11. Frost was no ticed in Berkshire, Mass., and in some parts of Northern New York and of Connecticut—little damage seems, how ever, to have been done. Captured. —The fellow, named Leslie, i who swindled the fifteen young ladies in New York, an account of which we published last week, has been arrested in Washington City where he resides. He has been brought to Philadelphia for trial. I SPEECH OF SENATOR DOUGLAS AT j COLUMBUS, OHIO. ! CuLUMBUS, 0., Sept. 7. Senator Dougins was received at the depot this murniog by the military and a large crowd of citizens, and was escorted to his I hotel. During the interim between his arrival ' and the delivery of his speech, he was waited | upon by a large number of the citizens of this and many other adjoining coanties. At 2 o’clock this afternoon, Mr. Douglas made his appearance and was received with much enthusiasm. He immediately proceeded with his remarks, of which the following is , an abstract: j Judge Douglas said that the Republican j party, in their platform adopted at Philudel phia in 1856, assert the power and declare it ! the duty of Congress to prohibit slavery in ; all the Territories. The Democratic party are pledged, on the other hand, by their platform, to the doctrine of non intervention and popular sovereignty in the Territories. New Mexico and Kansas, by the acts of the Territorial Legislatures, present cases now for Congressional intervention with their domestic affairs, which'will put the advocates of intervention and non intervention, North j and South, to the test.. New Mexico, which refused for several years after the organization of a Territorial Government to introduce or protect slavery, passed a law in 1858 to recognize and protect slavery in that Territory. Kansas, at the first sessiun of the Territorial Legislature, in 1858, passed a very stringent law, “ to punish offences against slave property,” by which slavery was introduced, and “ adequate pro tectiou ” given to it in that Territory. In 1858, however, the slave code was repealed by an act passed February 9th, and all protec tion to slave property withdrawn and denied. By this “unfriendly legislation” slavery had been excluded from the Territory of Kansas. Now the Northern interventionists are pledged by their Republican platform to repeal the slave-code in New Mexico, and prohibit slavery by act of Congress—while the Opposition in Kentucky and the Southern interventionists generally, are pledged by their principles to introduce and protect slave property in the Territory of Kansas. These issues must and will be met by the Democratic party. (Applause.) Non-inter yentjon and popular sovereignty must be maintained, as well in New Mexico as in Kansas. (Continued cheering.) If New Mexico wants a slave code, let her have it.— If New Mexico has laws for the protection of slave property, so be it. If Kausas wili not have a slave code, nor slavery, Congress must not force her people to accept either. (Ap plause.) Northern and Southern interventionists agree that slavery in the" Territories is a rightful subject of Congressional legislation, but differ as to the character of such legisla tion. Each insist that Congress should intervene in favor of their particular section, and against the other section, in violation of ! the rights of the people most interested, to decide the question of slavery for themselves. According to the doctrine of the intervention ists, North and South, slavery is not only a rightful subject of Congressional legislation, but is dependent upon the Federal authority fur its existence ana protection, consequently subjeot to Federal regulation and control.— The Southern interventionists contend that the whole power of the Federal-. Government j should be exerted for the protection of slavery : ia the Territories, and the Northern interven : tionists that the same power should be exerted for its destruction. The Democratic party, in opposition to the interventionists of both sections, hold that slayery is a State institution, and that it exists in the slaveholding States, “ under the laws thereof,” and not by virtue of the Constitution of the United States; that slavery, therefore, is beyond the reach or control of the Federal authority for good or evil, except in the single case of fugitive slaves, who must be delivered up. The Dem ocratic party were sustained in these princi ples by the decision of the Supreme Court, in the “Dred Scott” case. The Democratic party aro pledged to the principle of popular ; sovereignty—by which the peopje of the organized Territories, “like those of a State, shall decide for themselves, whether slavery shall or shall no: exist within their limits.” Those who insist that the first “handful of settlers” should not decide the slavery question in the Territories, should vote against the organization of Territories until they have sufficient population for a political com munity capable of self-government in all other domestic concerns. No government should be established for any people who are not qualified by numbers and in all other | respects to legislate for themselves on all | rightful subjects of legislation, sdbject only I to the Constitution of the United States.— When Territorial Governments are established, the people will legislate for themselves—will form their own domestic institutions; and if their legislation conflict with the Constitution, it will present a judicial question fur the Courts to determine, to whose decision all law-abiding citizens will and must submit. The Territories must be open to settlement to the people of all the States. Slave States : as well as free States. The system of emigra i tion fostered and encouraged by emigrant aid : societies for the purpose of controlling terri torial legislation is a fraud upon the elective franchise, and designed to subvert and destroy the principles of self-government. None but actual inhabitants, who have abandoned their citizenship and allegiance in their respective i States, and settled in a Territory in good j faith to make it their permanent home, have a right to a voice or vote in the legislation of the Territory. (Applause.) The doctrine of Mr. Seward’s “Rochester speech,” with respect to the “irrepressible conflict between freedom and slavery,” must be emphatically condemned. lie said: “I denounce it here to-day, as I denounced it in the Senatorial canvass in Illinois, when it was maintained by Mr. Lincoln, as subversive of the principles upun which the UnioD was founded and must stand. Uniformity in the local laws and domestic institutions of the several States are neither desirable nor possi ble. Variety of climate and interests necessi tateacorresponaing variety of local legislation, which ia and must be adapted to the wants of each particular community or State. The liberty and prosperity of the people depend upon the inalienable right of self government in all the States and Territories of the United States. (Immense applause.) The surrender of fugitive slaves is a duty imposed by the Constitution, and all who are for law and for the Constitution must be faithful to that Constitutional obligation. The opposition and resistance to the Fugitive Slave Act in the North, beget a like opposi tion to and violation in the South of the laws against the African Slave trade. The violators of both—those who resisted the Fugitive Slave Act, and those who violated the law against the African Slave trade—are alike false to the obligations of good citizens, and merit alike condemnation and punishment. Main tain the doctrine of non intervention and popular sovereignty and the Union is safe. (Applause.) Stand by that doctrine and the country will prosper; all sections will be content and territorial expansion is certain. Expansion is a necessity of our national existence, and our destiny is, sooner or later, to spread our institutions over the entire Con tinent. Cuba, Central America, Mexico, and all the islands adjacent to us, will in time, be ours, ana this will be, as it should, “ an ocean bound Republic.” (Prolonged cheering.) The Democratic party is the only party which recognizes the equality of the States, and the right of the people to exercise all the rights, privileges and immunities of self government. I stand firmly by the Democratic platform of 1856—1 want no new planks, and no new pillars to strengthen or uphold it. I stand upon the platform and carry the Democratic banner. Let the nominee of the Charleston Convention take the same position. Put him on that platform and give him the old Democratic banner with all its glorious memories clustering around it, and the Democracy will march to a glorious victory in 1860. (Great enthusiasm.) THE DOUGLAS-HARPER. LETTER. Richmond, Va., Sept. 7. The Enquirer, to day, has a leading editorial of three columns in length, which is supposed to be.written by Gov. Wise, against the letter of Senator Douglas, which was published in Harpers’ Magazine. The writer denies all of Mr. D.’s propositions, and says that they are in direct opposition to the Compromise measures of 1850—the Kansas and Nebraska act, and the Cincinnati platform, and if carried out, would only lead to a repetition of the bloodshed which has already disgraced the soil of our Territories. Judge Douglas’ lengthy essay recent ly published in Harper’s Magazine, has been replied to in an elaborate six column article in the Washington Constitution . BT.

We have very little of interest to communicate to day- The weather has been pleasant and seasonable, and the rivers still continue low. Business has not been ao brisk as was expected The country merchants, will, in all probability, defer their visits until the Fair week—killing two birds with one stone —attending the Fair aud laying in their stock of fall and wiater goods. The receipts of produce have been but fair, and sales on ’Change have undergone no very material alteration. Ilerop sells for $ll0to$10S; Rope7lsc.; Lead $5.20 to $5.25 ; Flour, dull, at $5.25 to $5 50 for country double extra; Wheat for 80c. to $1.12}4; Corn at 62@68c.; Oats is worth 35 to 42c.: Rye 60 to 63c.; Bacon, rib sides, 9 1 /sc.; Lard lOJ^c.; Whisky 26c.; Hay 80c. per 100 lbs.; Onions 64 to 66c.; Ilides 15c. for flint and "34 c - for green salt; Gunnies, new, 12’4c. A disease, called the Black Tongue, is raging to a fearful extent among the cattle in many of the Western and Southern States; and in this State hundreds of cattle have died from It. The deer have also suffered immensely— they are found dead along all the creeks, and if not soon checked, that species of animal will soon be completely exterminated. Col. Kennot, living a few miles south of our city, has been years in collecting a park of deer, and a short time since be had forty on his premises. The “ Black Tongue ’’ got among them, and seventeen died In one night, and now.only one out of the forty remains alive. The disease commences with indications of inability to eat —the tongQe turns black and swells to au enormous size, and the animal generally dies iu the neighborhood of water. The flags upon the steamboats, in the harbor at Mobile were floated at half-mast on the 22nd ult., in respect to the memory of Capt. J. B. Walker, who died a few days before. He was one of the oldest steamboat Captaius in that State at the time of his death, having had command of a boat on the Alabama river nearly twenty years ago. His remains was taken to Mobile and interred, and his funeral was numerously attended. A lad, uamed Gustave Seibert, fell out of a fourth-story window to the ground a day or two since, aud was instantly killed. W. Weston and Capt. Jackson had a difficulty at Hopkinsville, Ky ,|ou the 2nd inst.; the former was shot and killed. Jacksou was a candidate for Congress at the recent election in Kentucky. One of our street railroads is now completed to within a few hundred yards of the Fair Ground, and yesterday excursion trains made regular trips over the new road Another week will complete tho road, and persons will find tne rail a much bettor m"ii« of getting to the Fair, than the vehicles heretofore used. The fare will be ten cents. The employees of the Michigan Southern Railroad are on a “ strike.” A compromise between the employers and employees is about being consummated. Luring negotiations uO trains ar& allowed to run. A meeting of citizens of Laporte expressed sympathy for the employees, aud offered to assist them pecuniarily or otherwise. The railroad proposition to extend aid to the Pacific Kuilroad, in Jackson county, Mo., was carried by a large majority. Kansas city, Mo., gave 1669 majority for the loan. On Sunday night, the 28tb, a magnificent Aurora Boroalis in the northern sky was witnessed by our citi zens, a stiff breeze was alao felt from the north, and in a few hours the sky became perfectly clear and beautiful. It was first observed early after sunset, and the brightness increased until about 3 o’clock *n the morning, when the whole heavens were aglow, and the spectacle—so it is said by those who saw it—was most gorgeous and imposing. It was so light that newspaper print could easily be read. Judge John Watson, of Charetan county, In this State, was recently arrested on a charge of having beau one of the party who broke open the county safe, about a year and a half ago, and robbed it of some $5OOO. The Uraud Jury of that county indicted him for grand larceny and burglary, and he was require! to give bail to the amount 1/ $•2,000. This case attracts a great deal of public attention, partly from the fact that the accused Is a man of consider able wealth, and at the time the crime was committed was one of the Judges of the County Conr v . A mau by the name of D. C. i'unte. a nativo of Penn sylvania, was found dead a few days since, on the door of his room, at the St.JLoui.-i Hotel, ou Third street. lie came to this city last Thursday week, complained of Ulng sick, and was taken in by the landlord. He was here last June, and put up at the same hotel, and was apparently In very good circumstauces, but at the time of his death he was penniless. He has a brother living in Chicago, ao it is said. An inquest was held, and a verdiot of “ death from debility ’’ was rendered. The Southern papers say that Col. J. W. Forney, of the Philadelphia Press, was in Memphis, and left on the 25tb, en route for Pennsylvania. The Agricultural Society of Dundee, Michigan, holds its Fair in October, and offers a premium of $0 to the young lady “who will pare a peck of potatoes in' the shortest time, and do it the best.” Here is a chance for the girls ! A grand military eucarapmeut is proposed to come oft during the Fair, at Warsaw, 111., companies having been InTiteJ from St. Louis, Chicago, Cincinnati, Keokuk, Carthago, Burlington, Quincy, Davenport, Dubuque, and other places to meet there ou the 21st, 22nd and 23rd of Uctobor. In 1846 the State of lowa had but IOU.OOu inhabitauts, aud now she has a population of 000,000—an unparalleled It seems that the project of establishing city railroads In New Orleans meets with considerable opposition in that city. It appears that about sixty citizens have obtained an injunction and stopped the sale of right-of-way, the object being to tost the authority of the city to grant the privilege to any one. Ifnox county, Indiana, was the third county organized In the Northwestern Territory now embracing the States Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigau, Wisconsin and part of Minnesota. Her organization took place on the Bth of January, 1790. Washington county, Ohio, was the first organized within the Territory, (.Inly ihith, 178>*,) aod Hamilton, Ohio, the second, (Jan. Ist, 1700.) An important decision, having a political bearing, has lately been decided in the District Court at Leavenworth city. A soldier at the Fort, named William Montgomery, was tried before Judge Petit and a jury, on an indictment for illegal voting, and a verdict rendered of guilty, with a penalty of one hour’s imprisonment, and a fine of twenty • five dollars and costs. The organic act provides that no officer, soldier or attached of the army or navy of the United States, quartered in the Territory, shall be permitted to vote. The evidence showed that Montgomery, on the occasion of the last election, changed his military garments, and offered his vote at the polls. The charge of the Judge to the jury was clear on the poiut that no soldier had the right to vote, but held that, if before his enlistment, he was entitled to vote in that place, that enlistment did not disfranchise him. The Supreme Court of Wisconsin has decided that city, town and county bonds are unconstitutional, and are not affected by the clause restricting the indebtedness of the State. The case arose in an application for a peremptory mandamus to compel the Common Council of Madison to strike from the tax roll of the city $BOO, designed to meet the interest of certain bonds Issued for the purchase of a city cemetery. The Supreme Court of Indiana has rendered a decision which has an important bearing upon the interests of the newspaper press. A controversy existed relative to a charge for advertising, betwoen the Commissioners of Hamilton couQty and the Patriot newspaper. It was held by the Judge that “the published terms of newspapers constitute a contract. If work is given to newspaper publishers, without a special contract contravening the published terms, the publishers can charge and receive according to the terms so published. It is not necessary to prove what the work cost or was worth ; the publishers have a right to fix the value of their columns, and if so fixed, no other question need bo asked, but the price thus charged can be procured.” Along the line of the La Crosse Road, a few miles above Uoricon, is a signboard, on which is painted in largo let ters, so plain that “he who runs may read “As both of us are sod d poor, don't run over my caltle. H. H. Elkins.” The steamer Duncan S. Carter was snagged and Bunk in the Missouri river since our last date. The boat and cargo are a total loss, but no lives were lost. She was valued at $44,000. There were two or three other boats sunk in the past week, but no lives were lost. There were 113 interments in this city during the week. Yours, OLD GUARD. SOUND SENTIMENTS. The following extract from the speech of Senator Douglas, at Pittsburg, on Tuesday last, has the ring of the true metal in it. The Republicans have nothing to expect from him, but what will those of his professed Demo cratic friends, who are opposing the State ticket, think of his course now ? He places them in a very awkward position : “ Never in the history nf this country had the Democratic party ever elected a President without the vote of Pennsylvania. Who elected Washington, JefiersoD, Madison, Mon roe, Jackson and Van Buren, and every other Democratic candidate from that day to this? Were the Democracy of Pennsylvania now going to throw away the prestige of the old Keystone State, to forget their glorious his tory in the past and to wheel into the ranks of Abolitionism or modern Republicanism ? If they did it would be their own act, and not the act of their opponents. The Republicans had no chance of success, except in the dis sensions of the Democracy, and while he would Dever stand up against principle or yield it for the sake of harmony, yet, in order to preserve the principles of the party, he would surrender any personal prejudices and hostilities he might have (good and cheers.) The part of wisdom and patriotism was only to remember past quarrels in order to profit by them. Wherever there had been past issues that bad died, all the asperity which they ever created should be buried with them, and we should only look ahead in the future, holding forth the banner of Democracy, with our principles embazoned on it in dear and unequivocal language, and rally under the organization of the party.” JOHN O. BRECKINRIDGE. At a Democratic barbecue in Paris, Ken tucky, an the Ist inst., in honor of the tri umphant election of Governor Magoffin, Vice President Breckinridge being present was called to the stand and made a short extem poraneous speech. Amongst other equally eloquent remarks, he said : The Democratic party wa9, in his judgment, the only political party now in existence which is capable of taking care of this glori ous country. Organization after organization ruse and fell ; some lived a long period, others shorter. Some had good lungs and good brains, though the latter often not very sound. The last party which passed away (the American) looked out upon the earth and then expired. The death of the Democratic party, he said, was predicted at every election, but it is to day more healthy than ever. It is no flicker ing light; it rests upon principles which its opponents cannot withstand—it can't die—it is the only national party left in the United States—a lighthouse set upon the headland of the sea as a beacon light to guide the weary traveler home. He said that strifes and dif ferences do arise in their ranks, but for all practioal purposes the entire party was a unit, and it would triumph in the future as it has done in the past. The Treaty with Mexico. —The following are the concessions said to have been obtained by the reported treaty with Mexico: 1. Rights of way aoross the Northern States of Mexico, and ports on the Gulf of Califor nia, with guarantees for their protection and safety o * Rights of way and valuable privileges ot transit across the Isthmu9 of Tehuantepec. 3. The privilege of erecting and maintaining warehouses at the termini of the several transit routes. 4. The right of transporting troops and munitions of war over such routes, and to send troops to protect them in default of Mexico fulfilling that duty. 5. Free entry and transit of goods belong ing to American citizens in Ariznim, through the ports of the Gulf of California, and across S'ltnra. 0. Kntire and unquestionable freed .rn of religious opinions and worship throughout thn Republic. 7. A clause indicating the willingness of the Mexican Government to accept a modified protectorate at the hands of the United States; in oth6r words, to solemnize another treaty in the form of an alliance, offensive and defen sive, but in substance creating a protectorate whenever the United States shall signify its willingness t<> enter into such engagements ELECTIONS. The annual election in Vermont took place on Tuesday last. As usual, the. State has been carried by the Black Republicans by about the usual majority. The 4ai\e election took place on yesterday.

SCPFERINO HUMAN ITT READ THIS The undersigned takes this method of informing the public generally that there in no medicine now ofTered to the public that is equal to DUVALL’S GALVANIC OIL in relieving suffering humanity. I was an observer of its effects in a friend of mine, who suffered almost everything from a neuralgic affection which resisted the best medical treatment in Centre county. Wo applied freely the Galvanic Oil to the painful part, and gave some inwardly, and in 20 minutes the patient was asleep, and when awakened was froo from pain, and con tinued so.
