td name of Stephen A. Douglas or John C. Brock
inridge as an Elector at large, and 112 the event of the suc
cess of 'said ticket, if the greater number of votes shall
have been cast for Stephen A. Douglas, then the vote of
the Electoral College of the State shall be cast for Stephen

John C. Breckimidge and Joseph Lane, for the same
offices. If the vote of Pennsylvania cannot elect the can

the United States claiming to be a Democrat, then the *eta
Of the Electoral College shall be cast for that candidate. If
It will not elect either of the Democrats for whom it is
cast, or any of the Democrats who were voted for in the
States, -then the vote shall be cent for the candidate who
has the majority of the votes of the State; and that the
Chairman of this Committee be instructed to obtain - from
the gentlemen on the Democratic Electoral Ticket of the
State their several and distinct pledges of acquiescence in
the foregoing resolution. and to report the result of his
action in the premises at the next meeting of the Commit
tee, to be held on the day of —.
. THE WORK COMMENCED.
According to promise we have com
mence razeeing our list, and striking off the
names of those longest indebted for subscrip
tion to THE INTELLIGENCER. We intend to
continue the same course of procedure from
week to week, until we have made our packet
book, what it ought long since to have been,
a list of paying subscribers. Those persons,
whose names have been erased, will have
three months time in which to pay up their
arrearages without costs; after which their
accounts will be placed in the hands of a
proper officer for collection.
So soon as we can collect in a few hundred
dollars, of as many thousands owing to us,
it is our intention to enlarge and otherwise
improve the appearance of THE INTELLI
GENCER.
GUBERNATORIAL
The triumphant election of Gen. HENRY
D. FOSTER to the Gubernatorial chair of the
Commonwealth is,' from all we can see and
hear, a foregone conclusion. How can it be
otherwise? Every Democrat in the State—no
matter what his Presidential predilections are
—is heart and soul for our pure and noble
hearted candidate; so are also thousands of
good and true Union men belonging to other
political organizations. The Democratic party
alone, when thoroughly united, as it is on the
9nestion of Governor, never has been, never
can be defeated; but, in addition to a united
party vote, the thousands outside of our
organization, who will cast their votes for
Gen. FOSTER, make assurance doubly sure,
and render his election certain, and that, too,
by an overwhelming majority.
And Gen. FOSTER is in every respect worthy
the position of Chief Magistrate of this great
and glorious old Commonwealth. A Pennsyl
vanian by birth and in feeling, every pulsation
of lie noble heart beats for the honor, pros
perity and glory of his native State. Of
incorruptible honesty and integrity, his ad
ministration will be a model one for posterity
to contemplate. The government, under his
direction, will be brought back to what it was
in the palmy days of those pure patriots and
statesmen, SIMON SNYDER and FRANCIS R.
SUuNK, and Pennsylvania will stand forth
redeemed and regenerated from corruption and
political intrigue—the wonder and admiration
of the whole Union.
The Democracy of the State may well be
proud of such a candidate, and we do not
wonder that they are so enthusiastic in his
support. Everywhere—north, south, east
and west—but one spirit animates the Democ
racy, and that is a determination to make
HENRY D. FOSTER the next Governor by one
of those old-fashioned Democratic majorities
with which we were wont to astonish our foes.
SIR RICHARD AGAIN 1
Last week there appeared in our columns
a brief paragraph, written on the spur of thd
moment, which, perhaps, some of our readers
•may, misunderstand. We said that "We go
'for Dick first, last, and all the time,"—Diek,
it being understood, meaning RICHARD J. HAL
DEMAN, Esq., of Harrisburg, Dauphin County,
Pennsylvania. We must now qualify the
first exuberance of our enthusiasm, so far
as to say, that what we meant was, that
if so absurd a policy as that of which he is
the representative is adopted, we desire that
his name should be connected with the move
ment, just to see how many votes he will got
He will find it, we imagine, a very different
thing to run against Democratic principles,
whatever arrangements he may make with
the Opposition, to running in favor of them
with 'a dissatisfied minority to back him, as
was the case when he was a candidate for the
Senate.
Let him, therefore, by all means, try his
hand and his popularity in his present hostile
attitude to the Democratic organization of the
State, and see how much he will have made
oat of his apostacy to the party.
MISSOURI ELECTION
The returns of the election, which are
nearly complete, show that Mr. JACKSON, the
regular Democratic candidate for Governor,
(and a friend of Mr. Douglas) is elected by a
large majority. The Legislature elect, as
classified by the Jefferson City correspondent
of the St. Louis Bulletin, will be as follows,
viz :
For Breokinridge,
For Boucles,
Unknown,
In other words :
Democrats
Union men
Republicans
Not heard from
There will be a very large Democratic
majority, which will secure the re-election of
Mr. Green to the 11. S. Senate.
ITNIONI IN NEW . YORE
It is now reduced almost to a certainty that
all the opponents of Lincoln will unite on one
common-electoral ticket in; the State of New
York. If so, then good bye to OLD ABE'S
&tmes of ever reaching the White House.
Theljnion ticket will sweep the Empire
likitie by 50,000 majority!
Hon. Wm.-H. Seward, the very embodiment
and soul of Black Republicanism, has recently
been making an electioneering triple Mahal>,
where he made a number of speeches. In
Boston; on his way;'he. hid a ry. handsome
ve -
reception; and addresseda large crowd Irma
.
the balcony (if the Revere House. Hik speech
-„
was 'extremely radical on the slavery -question,
enough to suit even Garrisen and Phillips -
He thus set forth the issues upon which-the
Black Republicans are fighting the present
campaign :
1. That they have_ nominated Abraham
Lincoln as their standard.hearer, "confining
the obligations of the HIGHER LAW."
2. That they are contending " for weal or
is-oe, for life- or-death, -in the IRREPRESSI—
BLE CONFLICT between freedom and
slavery." •
3. That "we are now in the last stage of
the conflict, before the great triumphal inaug
uration of THIS POLICY INTO THE Gomm--
.MENT OF THE UNITED STATES!"
4. " With this victory, comes the end of
slavery."
After his speech, short addresses were made
by Senator Wilson and others, endorsing and
complimenting:Mr. S.; and his speech has been
published, endorsed and commended by the
Black Republican papers—thus proving that
he correctly represented the real doctrines
and purposes of that party. It will be seen
that the war here aeolaied, is not against
slavery extension, but against slavery in the
States. The " higher law" and " irrepressi
ble conflict" are to be "inaugurated into the
Government of the United &ates" with Abra
ham Lincoln, and then, says Mr. Seward,
" comes the end of slavery." This " irrepres
sible conflict" doctrine was announced by
Lincoln as a part of his creed some time
before Seward proclaimed it, and whatever
"conservative" professions he may make now,
to secure votes, this intensified abolitionism is
his real doctrine. It means a " conflict"
on the part of the General Government,
with sovereign States, to end slavery !
This is the policy, says Seward, that is about
to be inaugurated into the General Govern.
ment. No sane man can fail to see where
such a conflict would speedily end. " With
this victory," and " this policy," would come
the wreck of the Union, not the " end of
slavery."

SIGNIFICANT.-It is rather a significant fact
that many of the Republican papers are sup
pressing the Boston speech of Mr. Seward.
It goes for abolition too openly ; it shows the
real issue too plainly ; they fear the effect it
will have on the conservative masses of the
North. They do not understand the " pro.
gramme." The cold support of Seward and
Weed has filled the political cemetery with
victims. Lincoln will not sleep in his
political grave without companions. Old
Whiggery and a host of her disciples can
show the
,effect of the poison of these two
mouth pieces and engineers of the sectional
machine. Lincoln with Clay will soon cry
" Save me from my friends." The Boston
Courier says that the reappearance of the
" irrepressible conflict" in Mr. Seward's
Revere House speech has occasioned some
alarm. It was suppressed in the Boston
Advertiser, and the country papers are dodg
ing it.
The Republican papers all over the State,
says the Harrisburg Patriot, have simultan
eously turned their guns against the Bell and
Everett men, from which we infer that Bell
and Everett are looming up. The Republicans
imagined that they had absorbed or crushed
the conservative element of the Opposition,
and have suddenly discovered their mistake—
hence this discharge of field pieces and small
arms all along the line. The Bell men are
expected to quake in their shoes at all this
thunder, and allow themselves to be scourged
into immediate submission. But they don't
appear to be a bit alarmed. They continue to
hold meetings and recruit their ranks right
in the face of the enraged Republicans. If
they continue to make such rapid progress it
will be a question before November whether
Lincoln or Bell will receive most votes in the
State.
MR. BRECKINRIDGE AT HOME
At the request of a large number of per-
sonal and political friends, Mr. BRECKINRIDGE
has consented to address the people of his old
Congressional District, at Lexington, Ky., on
the sth proximo. The following is his letter
of acceptance:
LEXINGTON, Ky., Aug. 21, 1860.
GENTLEMEN : I have received your letter of
the 18th inst., in which, on behalf of my
friends of this Congressional District, you in—
vite me to address the people, for the purpose
of vindicating myself from the violent personal
assaults made upon me since my nomination
for the Presidency at Baltimore.
I have not proposed at any time to take part
in the general political discussions of the day.
To this letter, however, I recognize the signa
tures of many of my oldest and most cher
ished friends, whose wishes are with me
almost commands ; and after some reflection,
I have resolved to accept your invitation ; not
that I consider any defense necessary before
my neighbors and old constituents, but because
it may be well to group together and refute in
a public and authentic manner, accusations
remarkable for their number, their injustice,
and the persistency with which they have
been urged against me. I feel that it would
be unjust to my principles, my friends, and
myself to remain longer in silence beneath
this torrent of defamation ; and I hope to
repel every charge which has been made, to
the satisfaction of all candid and honorable
men.
It will be agreeable to me to meet my fel
low-citizens on any day and at any place you
may select.
Very truly your friend,
JOHN C. BRECKINRIDGE.
LETTER FROM LINCOLN'S KEEPER.-A gen—
tleman named B. G. Wright, of Rural, Illi—
nois, being a little anxious to know how old
Abe stood on the slavery question, wrote him
a letter, propounding certain questions which
might very well have received prompt and
direct answers. But instead of receiving the
desired information, the following reply came
by return mail:
SPRINGFIELD, 111., June Bth, 1860.
Your letter to Hon. A. Lincoln, of May 28,
and by which you seek to obtain his opinion
on certain political points, has been received.
He has received others of a similar character,
but also a greater number of the exactly
opposite character. The latter class beseech
him to write nothing whatever upon any
point of political doctrine. They say his
positions were well known when he was
nominated, and that he must not now em—
barrass the canvass by undertaking to shift
or modify them. He regrets that he cannot
oblige all, but you perceive that it is impos—
sible for him to do so.
Official returns of the Oregon election show
that SIIIEL (Dem.) is elected to Congress by
103 majority, being a gain of 877 on the last
Congressional election. The Democrats also
have the Legislature overwhelmingly, only
three Republican Senators and five members
of the House being chosen, out of a total of
50 in both branches.
DENTIBTRY.—See Dr. Wm. Whiteside's card
in another column. He has taken the large
and convenient rooms over Gyger's Bank, in
Best King street, and is prepared to give the
fullest satisfaction in his profession.
DOUGLAS IN VIRGINIA.
Mr. DOUGLAS is now in the Old Dominion.
He addressed a largo meeting at Norfolk; on

SIGNS OF ALARM
JOHN G. NICHOLAS
OREGON ELECTION
UNION IS THE WORD t
The indications are that the Democratic
party of the State will be a unit in support of
the , compromise agreed upon at Cresson by
the Democratic State Executive Committee:
Many papers that opposed the first plan of
union, have, expressed themselves entirely
satisfied with:the last arrangement Nearly
alt the Douglas papers in the State, we - mean
those that are sincere in their declarations of
friendilip for. him, have already Wheeled into
line, and testify their devotion to - the Demo.
oratie cause and their abhorrence of the
scheme to divide the party for the benefit of
Lincoln. Such papers as the Pittsburg Post,
Hollidayaburg Standard; Chambersberg Var.
iey.Bpirit,_Armstrong Democrat, and Wilkes
barre gaim—all strong and leading Douglas
papers—are Warmly in favor of the compro
mise. So are a ll the County Conventions
which have recently been held, and the
County Committees. Even in Col. Hendrick
B. Wright's district it is the same way. At
a full meeting of the Democratic . County
Committee of Luzerne county, held at Wilkes
band, on Saturday week, a resolution was
offered by Stanley Woodward, ,Esq., fully
and unequivocally endorsing the Cresson
compromise, and recommending the Deritom
racy of the county to give the State Electoral
ticket, as formed at Reading, their undivided
support. The resolution was sustained in an
able and powerful speech by Col. Hendriok
B. Wright, and unanimously. adopted. This
same Col. Wright, it will be recollected, was
the President of the bogus State Convention
which met at Harrisburg on the 26th ult.
The good work goes bravely on. The true
Democracy everywhere are wheeling into line,
and the straight•out disorganizers will scarcely
number a corporal's guard in any county of
the State by the time the election arrives.
Speaking of the unanimity which is now seen
and felt in the Democratic party of the State,
the Harrisburg Patriot remarks
The straight-out Douglas organs appear to
have been struck dumb with amazement at
the way in which the Douglas press of the
State comes down upon their movement to
run a Separate electoral ticket for the benefit
of Lincoln. Deprived of all sympathy from
the true friends of Douglas, they occupy a
position which commands the most heartfelt
commiseration. Without wishing unneces—
sarily and wantonly to increase their misery,
we invite their attention to some of the
extracts from Douglas newspapers contained
in the column headed " Progress of the Cam—
paign." The wounds of a friend are precious.
We sincerely trust that the wounds inflicted
upon the straightout managers by the
Douglas Press may be blessed to their complete
restoration to political health. The first
effect of these blows is encouraging. We
hear nothing now of the advantages of giving
the State to- Lincoln by running a straight
out Douglas ticket. The organ is suspiciously
mute. Forney, it is true, manages to keep
his courage up, but then Forney has a motive
for helping Lincoln, which some of the
straight-outs have not.
DISINTEGRATION OF THE PEOPLE'S
The friends of Bell and Everett are organ
izing in all parts of Pennsylvania, says the
Harrisburg Patriot. They are holding meet
ings which are addressed by some of the most
effective speakers in the State; and they
manifest a vigor and determination which
strikes the Republicans with astonishment and
alarm. The conservative element of the "Peo•
ple's" organization is rapidly disentangling
I itself from the embrace of Republicanism.—
They have discovered that they must come out
at once from the Republican party, which has
swallowed up the " People's %party," or con.
sent to be the mere appendage of sectionalism.
This they will not consent to. The revolu
tion has commenced. The Republican party
of Pennsylvania is in the throes cf a great
agony. It is suffering daily by desertions all
along the line. The leaders find it impossible
to retain the conservative element by means
of the deceptive contrivance labelled " Peo
ple's party." Before the day of election ar
rives the conservatives will have abandoned
the Republicans, and we shall then have clear
decks and a fair fight. The signs of the times
all point to this conclusion. The Bell and
Everett portion of the Opposition are in earn•
est. They have cast their last vote with the
Republicans. They have determined that
they will no longer be used as stepping stones
for the elevation of sectional Republican can
didates, and have resolved to pursue an inde
pendent course.
CUMBERLAND CO., FARMS.-WO advertise to
day several of the finest farms in Cumberland
County. The properties belong to the Estate
of Robert Noble, late of North Middleton
twp., dec'd. The farm near Carlisle is one
of rare excellence and beauty. It is located
on the Harrisburg Turnpike within a mile of
town—soil limestone, smooth and gently
rolling, and in a high state of productiveness.
The Letort Spring runs through the property,
watering all or nearly all of the fields. The
buildings are new—fencing post and rail.
It is one of the most desirable properties now
in the market. The other properties are
equally excellent, and hold out special in
ducements to purchasers. See advertisement
in another column.
le ' We call the attention of our merchants
and citizens generally to the advertisement
which appears in another column, of the
St. Nicholas Hotel, Broadway, NeW York.
This princely palace has accommodations for
one thousand guests. A city within a city,
having a cosmopolitan community, represen
tatives from every civilized nation on the face
of the globe. The gentlemen who planned
and carried into successful operation an
enterprise liko this mammoth establishment,
deserve the most liberal patronage of the
travelling public. We advise our friends
visiting New York to call on Messrs. Tread—
well, Whitcomb & Co., with whom we are
sure they will feel at home.
DELAWARE FARM roa SALE.—See advertise•
ment of Mr. Egbert Heisler, in another
column. Persons desirous of investing their
money in land, in the State of Delaware,
.could not do better than visit or address Mr.
H., who offers great inducements to purchas
ers. The location is one of the finest in that
little Commonwealth, and the farm is highly
improved and very productive.
AN INDEPENDENT TICKET.—We understand
that a general County Meeting of the people
—independent of party—is to be held at
Fulton Hall, in this City, on Saturday next,
for the purpose of taking measures to place
an independent County Ticket in the field.
ne6„. We direct attention to the advertise
ment of a " Valuable Adams County Farm at
Public Sale." It is one of the best in south
ern Pennsylvania, and should command
the attention of farmers and capitalists.
BE WISE To DAY I—Ms madness to neglect
a cough, or cold. Consumption may follow,
and though Dr. Wistar's Balsam of Wild
Cherry, cures the latter disease, yet the former
disappears at once under its influence.
Ser There's a vile counterfeit of this
Balsam, therefore be sure and buy only that
prepared by S. W. FOWLE & Co., Boston:
which has the written signature of I. BUTTS
on the outside wrapper.
M. The Boston Courier proposes a novel
way of electioneering against Lincoln. It
wants everybody to call at the Bell and
Everett Central Club Room and inspect - Mr.
Barry's portrait of Mr. Lincoln. And then
says : Bellmen, circulate that picture. It
will strike more terror into the souls of the
men
.and women of Massachusetts than the
presence of ten thousand Sep oys.
PROGRESS OP THE CAMPAIGN.
The Democracy of Northampton county
luild their annual county meeting on Monday,
the 20th inst., which was largely_ attended.—,
The County Convention was called for Tues
day, the 18th of September. The following„
among oth6r resolutions, was adopted :
Resolved, By the Democracy of Nerihamp
ton, in their county meeting i assembled, that
we approve, endorse and , pledge onrseives to
' sustain the action and miolcrtioris• of the

.nentineeting at Cresson, and we call upon the
Democracy of the county to organize and
rally in support of those resolutions as the
only patriotic course that can defeat the sec
tional candidates, Lincoln and Hamlin, there•
by Secitring• the perpetuity of the Union and
organization of the Democratic) party.
The annual meeting of the Democrats of
Lshigh county, was held at Allentown,,on the
18th inst. The Democrat says:
The friends of Domdas and Breckinridge
'acted together as a unit, and (without saying
Aught respecting PreSidential candidates,)
unanimously passed resolutions endorsing the
nomination of Gen. Henry D. Foster, and
urging the importance of union and harmony
in the party. The meeting was addressed by
gentlemen frem both wings of the party, and
the utmost good feeling prevailed.
The Democracy of Montour county held
their Convention on the 20th inst., and nom
inated a county ticket. The following reso
lutions were passed :
Resolved,- That we fully endorse and approve
of the action of the- State Central Committee
in their recommendation of a Union Electoral
Ticket in the State of Pennsylvania, in such
manner that while each voter can express his
individual preference yet the whole Demo
cratic vote of the State' shall be concentrated
against the Opposition, and that with a Union
ticket and a united Democracy we shall
achieve afi easy victory over the sectional
Republican candidates.
Resolved, That the Democracy of Montour
county:will:give to the Union Electoral Ticket,
for President and Vice President, their undi—
vided support, and hereby pledge to the De
mocracy of the State, the whole Democratic
vote of the county.
The Warren county Democratic Convention
was held on the 20th inst., and a county
ticket nominated. Conciliatory resolutions
were passed. A resolution approving of the
nomination of Douglas and Johnson was de
feated.

CURTIN ON 66 COL DS 9, AND 4, A.POLO-
GIES. I9
Mr. Editor :—The reporters, or some of
them, have done great injustice to Mr. Curtin,
in reporting his speeches at West Cheiter:and
elsewhere. Will you not as an act of justice
insert it, as carefully reported at the time, and
thus show your regard fur fair play, and
oblige SCRIBE.
" - Fellow Citizens—Having caught a neglect.
ed cold must be my apology for riot addressing
you as I could wish. But a neglected cold
which I caught must be my apology.
I never made an apology before ; but having
caught a neglected cold must be my apology,
for making any apology for the neglected
cold which I caught.
I promised to bear your flag from Lake
Erie to Philadelphia, but I shall now bear it
from Philadelphia to Lake Erie. A neglected
cold which I caught must be my apology.
You are the party. I am your standard
bearer, which I shall carry triumphantly. A
neglected cold which I caught must be my
apology.
I have nothing to say about Foster, my
opponent. But I think I shall whip him and
I guess he thinks so too I But a neglected
cold which Lcaught must be my apology.—
Some persons are afraid to speak their senti
ments or utter fully their principles. I shall
speak all mine frankly and fully—vote for
honest Old Abe 1 My apology must be a
neglected cold which I caught."
The gentleman retired amid immense
cheering, and the novelty of the idea of "catch
ing a neglected cold" was the subject of
conversation the remainder of the day.
.Vit"We rather guess " OLD ABE " must
have " caught a neglected cold," too, just
prior to: making his celebrated Springfield
speech which we published at length in our
last issue. These "neglected colds " are ugly
things, so they are, for Black Republican
can Intelligencer.
ALLECEIENY COUNTY.—In pursuance of
notice the Democratic County Committeee of
Correspondence met at the St. Charles Hotel,
Pittsburg, on the 18th inst., and was called
to order at 11 o'clock, A. H., by D. D. Bruce,
Chairman.
Col Henry M'Cullough offered the following
resolutions, which were unanimously adopted
by the Committee:
Resolved, That we congratulate the Democ.
racy of the county and State, upon the fair
and amicable adjustment made of our political
differences by the State Central Committee at
Cresson ; we hail it as an equitable arrange
ment, and one which is sure to secure us
overwhelming Democratic triumphs in October
and November.
Resolved, That the spotless private and
political reputation of our candidate for Gov—
ernor, Hon. Henry D. Foster, should endear
him to the freemen of Pennsylvania, without
distinction of party; we re-endorse his nomin
ation, and in urder to secure his election we
invoke the people's co operation and support.
KENTUCKY ELECTION.—The vote at the late
election in Kentucky was about 40,000 less
than a full vote. PETERS, the Breckinridge
candidate for Judge of the Court of Appeals
in the Louisville District, is elected, contrary
to first reports, by more than 1,000 majority.
The plurality for COOMBS is Worn 20,000 to
25,000 in the State. The friends of BRECK
and LANE in Kentucky are confident of carry.
ing that State by at least 20,000 majority!—
So says the Ninth (Ky.) Legion, Col. SAM
PIKE'S paper.

Messrs. L. Scott & Co., aro rapidly putting forth their
re-prints of the English Reviews for the current quarter.
These publications have been long loaned with such regu
larity, that the announcement of their issue has become
almost unnecessary, as readers know when confidently to
expect them. The following is an abstract of the con•
tents of the present number of the London Quarterly 1.
The Missing Link and the London Your: 2. Joseph Scaliger;
3. Workmen's Earnings and Savings; 4. The Cape and
South Africa; 5. Ary Scheirer; 6. Stonehenge; 7. Delwin's
Origin of Species; 8. The. Conservative Reaction. We do
not know if many of our readers are given to reading
these Reviews; we apprehend that these solid-looking
periodicals are deemed as exclusively masculine as male
attire, and only fit to be taken up by the reckless and
eccentric.. But it is high time that they should roject the
dismal trash usually provided for their edification and
amusement, and resort to such periodicals as these. No
woman can read without deep interest and sympathy such
articles as Nos. 1 and 3, above enumerated; few women
can reflect upon them without feeling that their estimate
of their so:ial and domestic duties and responsibilities has
been hitherto narrow and imperfect. The perusal of these
articles will, we hope, lead Loan examination of the others,
and thus contribute to the formation of a sound literary
taste.
This number commences a volume.

same offence having been amicably settled.
Com'th vs, George Dorhouser. This defendant lives near
Manheim, and :was elarg . ed with beating his wife, while
"on a drunk." • The evidence was that when elevated with
"tangle-foot" he is a very devil. Notwithstanding George
made loud professions of repentance, and was swilling to
swear that he would drink no more whiskey, the Court
sent him to the County Prison for two ruonths.
Joseph Eisely plead guilty to stealing axles, Ac., the
. property of John Brubaker, and was sentenced to twelve
months' imprisonment.

lin Bostic, charged with being concerned in the kidnapping

The proceedings were neat interlarded with a surety of

character, residing in the western end of Walnut street,
this city. The plaintiff was formerly a tenant of the de
fendant, who desired him to vacate the premises at a sped
find time, or she would terminate his carer. She, disdain.
ing the assistance or proffered services of several gallant
gentlemen within the bar, pleaded her own ease with a
voluble tongue, but without moving the sympathy of the
Court or spectators. The case being such an one as should
not have been brought before a tribunal, the Court decided
to equalize the expenses in the case, and ordered plaintiff
and defendant to pay an equal part of the costs. This the
latter refused to do, and made a “bold stroke" to get out
of the Court room, which rendered it necessary for Sheriff
Rowe to perform the ungallant act of arresting her pro
gross, for which interference he got a vigorous rap over
the bead with an umbrella. The lady Sanity succumbed,
and was placed in the prisoner's box.

Kendrick, charged with the murder of J. Adam Rees, A.
Herr Smith, Esq., the accused's counsel, applied for a con
tinuance of the case to the November term. District At

witness. discharged.
Com'th vs. Aaron Alexander. Indicted for assault and
battery on Mrs. Christiana Nutt. The latter was defendant
In a previous case in which the wife of the former was

Com'th vs. John Charles, Henry Leipel, et al. The de
fendants in. this case, eight or ten in number. are charged
with creating a riot. It appeared that on the second of
June last the defendents, who reside in Washington bee.
°ugh, proceeded to a certain fishing ground in the Stusque
banns- between Washington and Columble. When they
reached the spot, the ground was in possession of Samuel
Arras and several friends who had a fiat anchored in the
stream which interfered with the Washington party. They
requested Arms to remove the obstruction, which be re
fused to do. The Washington party then drew the anchor
and set the flat adrift. High words and a neat& then en
sued, when revolvers and knives were drawn, but no one
was seriously injured.
A large number of witnesses were examined in the case,
and the above were about all the material facts brought
out. Arms made the complaint. and hence the indictment.
The case has excited considerable interest in the neighbor
hood of Washington. It was one of those miniature, fish
wars which occur so frequently along the Susquehanna,
during the "Shad Season." The defendants were repre
sented by Messrs. Dickey and Fisher, and complainant by
She. North and the District Attorney. The jury returned
a verdict of guilty of assault and battery. Sentenced to
pay a fine of $6 each and the costs of prosecution.

Com'th vs. Jas. 11. Little and Benj. Smith. The defend.
ants are charged with passing a counterfeit five dollar note
on the Ihnk of Commerce. The transaction took place
in Marietta on the 14th of March last, and the note was
passed upon a Mrs. Hower, who keeps a German restau
rant in that place. From the testimony of the witnesses
for the Commonwealth, it appeared that the parties had
attempted to pass the same note ot several places during
the same evening. and were told that the note was a rank
counterfeit, and that the passing of it would involve them
in trouble. They refused to heed these warnings, and
hence their appearance here. The case was submitted to
the jury, who, after a brief absence, returned with a vet--
diet of guilty against both, with a recommendation of
mercy. Sentenced to three years each iu the County
Prison.
Com'th we. John F. Smith, Henry Smith, A. C Dickin
son and Jacob Grubb. The defendants were arraigned on
a charge of riot and assault and battery. The.offence was
alleged to have been committed on the night of the sth
or 6th of July last, on Tow Hill, Columbia. The com

Com'th vs. John Stains. This detendant was arraigned
on the charge of stealing a pocket book, containing
between eighty and ninety dollars, from Levi Cable,
on Saturday, the 25th of February laid. A number
of witnesses were examined to prove the character
of Stains, alter which his counsel, Col. Price, ad
dressed the jury at some length. At the close of Col.
Price's remarks, the District Attorney stated he would de.
cline pressing a conviction, when the jury returned a ver
dict of not guilty, without leaving the box.
Sszumnsir MORPINO.—Henry Gipple plead guilty to as
sault and battery upon his sister, Lucy Gipple, and was
fined $1 and ordered to pay the costs of prosecutlon.
Com'th vs. Levi Anderson. This defendant, a robust
young darkey, was arraigned on the charge of disturbing
a social gathering in Columbia, on the 23d of April last.
The object of the gathering was to raise funds to pay the
rent on a colored Masonic Hall, and took place at the house
of Wm. Baker. Refreshments, such as lemonade, pound
cakeand confectionary were the staple. articles of commerce
on the occasion. During the beighth of thejfestival Levi,
in connection with the several others, made his appearance
at the scene, drunk, and behaved himself so badly as to
materially interfere with the pleasures of the evening, nod
hence the prosecution. After hearing a number 'of wit.
ness. s and able arguments by the defendant's counsel,
Messrs. S. H. Reynolds and J. K. Alexander, and a' brief
summary by the District Attonaey; the case went to the
jury, who returned with a verdict of guilty,withia recom

Jam; Covoot.-L--This somewhat famous
Black Republican member of Oongreak, from the Westmore.
land district, better known - intim - Immediate vicinity by
the title of "Glory to God Banks env elected Covode," paid
our city a visit on Friday last, and made a speech in the
evening at the Wigwam, South Queen street, te - the Wide
Awakes then and there assembled—end such a speech I 0,
ye gods and little fishes I After hearing him murder the
Queen's English, and violate theplaineet rules of grammar
in his jumble of nonsense and abuse of the National
Administration and the Democratic party, for nearly two
mortal hours, it will not surprise any of his auditors to
know that he wairselectedas the principal scavenger and
chief hangman of the late "Smelling Committee' at Wash
ington. It must haye been highly edifying to the intelli
gent portion of his audience when he informed them,
whilst sleeking about the Kansas troubles, that "General
Harney was the most bloodiest - officer in the American
Army." : And this man is the basuffical of a statesman in
the eyes of the Black Republicans) Heaven preserve the
country from the influence of each specimens of ignorance
and imbecility in the National . councils. If John Coved°
is one of the "great guns" of the Republican party, itonigh
be a problem,.worthy of solution by political mathema
ticians, as to the qttantuni of brains contained in the
craniums of the mmil guns who spout at the Lincoln meet
logs! Shade of Dernoethenel preserve us from any farther
infliction of Black Republicaneloquence, if this be a num . .
her one sample. His speech on Friday evening ought to
be printed and bound up in the same book with the poetical
essays of the Mount Joy Bard! The one would be a com
plete counterpart of the other, and both combined would
doubtless meet with a very ready sale amongst their
Republican confreres.
But what surprised us the most was that the filthy abuse
of this miserable demagogue (who has not even the, ap
pearance of a gentleman) of the venerable President of the
United States found eager listeners and applauders in thi s
community, and from persons, too, whose nearest connec
tions will doubtless the coming winter, as they have done
heretofore, apply, for and live off Mr. BUCHANAN'S bounty.
Shame upon such base ingratitude! Mr. BUCHANAN has
his enemies, and we wouldn't give a fig tar the man
who hasn't, but no person, and especially such a low, vul
gar fellow as this Covode, can truthfully say that in hie
public or private career the least symptoms of dishonesty
have been shown by him. No decent, respectable member
of the Opposition party would make the charge against Mr.
BUCHANAN of being worse than a thief or knave, and such
slanders will only recoil with terrible vengeance on the
heads of the low scoundrels who make them.
Since the above was in type, we have received the fol.
lowing communication from a highly-esteemed frietid:
SIESSIM. EDITORS: We have, Indeed, "fallen upon evil
times" when ignorance and impudence are sent forth,
th-oughout the length and breadth of the land, and when
an intelligent people can be insulted with impunity by the
libellous vituperations of a miserable demagogue, the cats.
paw of those who, themselves ' are unwilling to do the dirty
work committed to such hands.
On Friday evening last we had in our city, what has
been designated by that Black Republican sheet in disguise,
the Daily Evening Express, "a grand rally" of the Repub.
limns, on which occasion *John covode, a member of Con.
greys from one of the western districts of this State, whose
name has become infamous from the part he acted as the
head of en Investigating Committee, at Washington last
winter, which for coarse abuse of the President of the
United States has, perhaps, never been excelled.
He thought it necessary to inform his auditors, in his ex
ordium, that he was not an "accomplished orator ;" but there
was no occasion to tell them he was no gentieman, ten min.
ntes after he commenced speaking. The impudence and
mendacity which characteriied his two hours' harangue
ought to have been rebuked r even by the distorted party
spirit of a set of ofllce•expectants ; and that any portion of
a respectable and intelligent community should quietly
listen to such gross calumnies is much to be deplored. Mr.
BIJOHANLN is our neighbor, the benefactor of the poor of
oor city, and the present generation have grown up under
his eye, to honor and esteem him as a gentleman and an
estimable citizen. This alone, apart from his exalted pool.
tion and his venerable grey hairs, ought to have protected
him from the insults of a stupid political and hired buf
foon in the view and almoat within the hearing of hie home
stead.
The apathy with whichthe slanders of ibis blockhead were
listened to, and the applause witb which be was occasionally
greeted, in an overwhelming disgrace to the party who are
to be benefited by his mission, and it would be an Insult
to the common sense, the decency and the humanity of
moderate men of all parties, to believe that they do not
unqualifiedly condemn the motives of those who were in
strumental in gettiurz the miserable creature to repeat bin
vile slanders iu the City of Lancaster.

ELECTION OF SCCIOOL TEACIIERS.—A meeting
of the Board of School directors wee held on .Thursday
evening-31 members preSent. A resolution dividing
the Male and Female High Schools, and providing for the
election of a Female Principal of the Female High School,
was adopted The following Teachers were then elected:
Principal of Male High School, S. W. Reigart ; Ist As
sistant, Seymour Preston; 2d Assistant. J. I'. McCaskey.
Principal of Female High School, Miss C. Musser, Ist As
sistant, Miss Hartman ; Id Assistant, Miss M. Russel.—
Principal of Male Secondary School, E. W., Jos. L. Amer.
A resolution to equalize the salaries of the first and sec
ond assistants of the Female High School, and increase
the salariy of the Principal to 5375 was not agreed to.
We congratulate Mr. REIGART on the position which
he Ilse been chosen to fill, and the complimentary manner
in which it was done. He:graduated in the High School
some four or five years ago, and immediately afterwards
was selected•to take charge of a large school at Soudersburg,
where he gained the affection of his pupils and the kindest
approbation of the Directors. Two years afterwards he
entered the Junior Class of Franklin and Marshall College,
and graduated last year from that Institution with the
highest honors of his class. The City School Board then
elected him Principal of the E. W. Male Secondary School,
where he displayed the ablest management, conduct and
discipline as an efficient teacher. He has now been pro
moted to a high and responsible position, that of Principal
of the Male High School of the City of Lancaster, which
has become celebrated for its advancement and improve"
went of the knowledge, science and conduct of the youth
of this city. The selection is an honorable one to the
Board and creditable to this industrious graduate, who
bears the reputation of a thorough scholar and accomplished
linguist, and as a mathematician is excelled by none.
The selection of Mr. JOSEPH. L. Alas to fill the position
j nst vacated by Mr. R. is likewise highly creditable to the
sound judgment of the Board. Mr. A. also gradu.
ated from the High School two or three years ago with
honor to himself andhis class, and has since displayed
abilities of the highest order in one or two positions he has
occupied. The Board, in the selection of Messia..ltriosirr
and AMER for the highest and most important positions In
the School Department of this city, have shown their good
sense in employing home talent, instead of going off to
New England, or some Institutions still nearer 'home, and
obtaining that which is generally of a 'fictiiimis reputation
In the advancement and prosperity of these two ''young
men the youth of our city have an example worthy of
imitation.
DEATH OP " OLD IIANS."—O01. HUGH LIND•
BE; bitter known to thousands in Lancaster county by the
sobriquet of "Old Hans," died on Thursday last, at hie
residence in Lower Heidelberg township, Berke county,
aged 56 years. The Col. was, perhaps, as well known as
any other person in this part of the State, and was a man
of infinite Jest and humor. He was somewhat of a poli
tician in his time, and had occupied several positions at
different times in the Legislature at Harrisburg. Years
ago It was his invariable practice to appear In Lancaster
on " Nytiltsuri tide Monday," and hold forth .to hundreds of
delighted beaux and belles in his own peculiar style. Of
late years, however, he had pretty much given up these
exhibitions.
The Col. had hie faults, but was as whole-sonled a man
as ever lived, and bad many warm, devoted friends. But
" Old Hans" has given his last exhibition on earth. He
has " gone to that bourne from whence no traveler re;
turns." "Let him rest in peace."
" MINUTE MEN OF '6o."—The, " Minute
of '60," the friends of Bell and Everett, had a torchlight
procession, on Tuesday evening of last week, and made
a very neat and handsome display. There were over one
hundred and fifty lantern•torches of various colors, upon
some of which were party inscriptions. A. larger bell and
some smaller ones were constantly ringing as the proces
sion marched through the principal .streets. The parade
halted in front of the Court Hove, where a short spe.ch
was delivered by Eli Bowen, Esq. Small delegations were
present from Columbia, Marietta, Gordonville and other
places. The delegation which was expected from Wrights
ville declined coming on account of the disagreeable state •
of the weather.
THE NEW FOUNDRY AND MACHINE SIIOP.
We notice that Messrs. Panlick /c McCully haN4 com
menced the foundation for their New Iron Works in Chess
not street, on the site of Rjetfer's foundry. The work is
to be peeked on with all possible despatch, ae the firm ex
pect to have the buildings ready for business this fall yet.
Their plans include a first-class foundry and machine shop,
with all the modern improvements, and when finished will
give an aspect of renewed business activity to that section
of this city. The lot on which - they are building is one of
the finest for such purposes toles foUnd In this vicinity.
Tntonox's ART MUSEUM, now on exhibition
at Fulton Hall, is attracting large audiences. We are glad
to record this fact, as it shows that our citizens are always
ready and willing to patronize exhibitions that are really
worth being patronized. Thiodon's Art Museum has been
exhibited in all the principal cities of the Union, and been
visited by thousands of 'persons. The press everywhere .
speak of it in the most flattering terms, which would not
be the case if it were not meritorious. We advise all our
readers to go and see It.

the King's Captains and Lieutenants ravaged the land with
lire and sword;-and their path was marked with bloodshed
and desolation.
2. And the wrath of the King waxed hotter and hotter,
and his vengeance_ would not be stayed until he had ut
terly exterminated hit enemies and all those who rebelled
against his authority.
3. In the mean time the enemies - of the King were no t

FOSTER CLUB AT COLUMBIA
The Democrats of Columbia have laid aside "all matters
at variance " on the Presidential question, and have deter
mined to unite all their energies front this time until the
second Tuesday of October neat, to secure the election of
Henry D. Foster. A large meeting was held this evening,
at the Town Mill The committee appointed at a former
meeting reported a Constitution for a •Foster Club,"
which was unanimously adopted. To show you how care
ful they were to avoid shoats and breakers, I copy Article
Bth, as follows :
Article 8. No member shall Introduce any resolution, or
other matter, or speech, hating reference to the Presidential
candidates of the Democratic party. Our only great and
sole object in view, at this time, being the elevation of
Hon. Henry D. Foster to the Gubernatorial chair.
The following officers of the " Foster Club" were then
chosen by the Association, viz: President, Michael Clepper,
Vice Presidents, Thomas Welsh and Joseph Mack; Record
ing Secretaries, John K. Eberlein and 8. L. Manton ; Cor
responding Secretory, Nicholas McDonald; , Treasurer,
Joseph M. Watts.
I assure you Oilers is no :division or discontent among
the Democracy of Columbia; they prreeut an unbroken
phalanx on the Gubernational question. and will give a
good majority for Foster, notwithstandingMhe inscription
upon one of the Lanterns carried by the Columbia " Rail
Splitters," at their lute "Big Meeting," here of " Columbia
good for 200 for Curtin." Which a boat boy said to a com
rade, pointing it out, do you See that Bob? Oh. yes, said
Bob, but I knew it was a lie as soon as I saw it, for I know
them Democrats." SQUIB.

WEST EARL, August 27th, 1820.
MESSRS. EDITORS: The Democrats in West Earl aro very
well pleased with the action of the County Committee. All
that now remains to be dodlli, in order to defeat the Black
Republican ticket. is to persuade men who are honest,
tried and true, and popular because they are honest.
West Earl asks for only one candidate—lot the candi-
dates for all the County offices bo from what part of the
county they may. We propose Wruanta CARPENTER, Esq.,
as the Independent Union Candidate fur Coogreas, Mr.
Carpenter is a gentleman who will be an honor to Lancas
ter county, in Congress, and the people's party will elect
him. L*
THE PROSPECT IN VIRGINIA
The Richmond Enquirer of Thursday, has
the following :
The late election in Kentucky has opened
the eyes of the people of that State. It has
demonstrated beyond doubt that the Know-
Nothing candidate has triumphed over his
Democratic competitor only by means of a
large accession of the supporters of Mr.
Douglas—a clear indication that the division
between these two classes of Coombs' sup—
porters will necessarialy throw the State for
Breckinridge and Lane in November.
We have much reason to hope that this
example will not be lost on the State of Vir
ginia. In this State the contest is undoubt-
edly confined to the Bell and Breckinridge
tickets. Only in a few scattered localities
does the Douglas ticket make any material
exhibition of strength. With all the means
of authentic information within our reach,
and by the most liberal calculation, we find
that Mr. Douglas cannot count an average of
50 supporters in each county of the State.
Such an average would give him in all about
7,500 votes. General consent has fixed the
usual Democratic majority in Virginia„ at
about 10,000. Thus supposing — that the
entire Opposition vote shall be concentrated
on John Bell—and,ogpposing, too, that the
entire Douglas votnll be abstracted from
the Democratic ranks, the above figures
would leave the Breckinridge ticket a plural
ity of 2,500 votes.
But past experience has amply proved to
the wire workers who have attempted to
pledge the Opposition men in Virginia to the
support of Bell and Everett, that there are at
least 6,000 men among the Opposition party
who Cannot be led into the support of a ticket
tainted with anti slavery. Thus the contrast
between the perfectly conservative position of
Breckinridge and Lane and the utterly
obnoxious anti slavery records of both Bell
and Everett, will bring over to the former
ticket about 6,000 thousand votes from the
Opposition ranks. This will give Breckin
ridge a plurality of 14,500 over 801 l and a
clear majority of 8,000 over Bell and Douglas
combined.
ipay-Thi, Tyrone Star, a sound Bell and
Everett paper, published at Tyrone City, in
its last issue contains the following;
"The Philadelphia Daily News of Aug.
4th says `. Mr. Curtin will earnestly:advocate
the support of Abraham Lincoln for the
Presidency.' Does the Daily News speak 'by
authority?' We have the name of Mr. Cur
tin at the head of our paper as our candidate
for Governor, but if he ' earnestly advocates
the support of Abraham Lincoln,' he must
just as ' earnestly' oppose the election of John
Bell, and if this be so, we should very much
like to know it. Does the Daily News, speak
by authority T'
ter A horrible accident occurred on the
28th ult., at Freeport, Armstrong county, by
which a man named Frank M'Callom, lost his
life in a horrible manner. He was boiling
salt at Mr. James' works, when by some
mischance he was precipitated head-foremost
into the cistern of boiling salt water. He
succeeded in crawling out, but there being no
one near to assist him, he unfortunately' fell
back again into the scalding brine. Notwith
standing this second and terrible mishap, he
got out without assistance and walked to his
home. He was actually flayed alive, and, after
suffering unknown tortures, be at last found
ease in death twenty-four hours after the
accident.
IN FAVOR OF UNION.
We have a list of sixty six Democratic papers
in this State, that have declared in favor of
the union of the party in support of one
Electoral Ticket, upon the basis of the recom
mendation of the Sate Executive Committee.
The list includes many papers that warmly
advocate Douglas and Joh neon,.as weltas those
that go for Breckinridge and . Lane i bnVithe
prevailing sentiment is . fot: united action
against the common enemy, as the
: only hope
of susses.—Greensburg Democrat.
