GET YOUR TICKETS The Democratic tickets are in the hands of FREDERICK S. PYFER, Es 4., Chairman of the County Committee, and ready for distribution. Our friends from the country would do well to call at his office, No. 11 N. Duke Street, and obtain their supplies. MR. WELSH'S ADDRESS We direct attention to a second admirable address to the Democracy, from Hon. WILLIAM H. WELSH, the talented Chairman of the State Executive Committee. It will be found in another column, and should he carefully read and pondered upon by every Democrat and every Union-loving man in the State. TUESDAY NEXT On Tuesday next, the 9th of October, the freemen of Pennsylvania will have to decide at the ballot-boxes who shall be their Chief Magistrate for the ensuing three years— whether it shall be ITENRY D. FOSTER, the Democratic candidate, or ANDREW G. CEIRTIN, the Republican candidate. On the one hand is presented a pure, hon est and able statesman, against whose char acter, personal or political, we defy criticism, and challenge his enemies, if he has any, to point to a single disreputable act in his pri vete or public life. A devoted friend of the interests of his native State, the Democracy point with pride and pleasure to Gen. FO:+.TER and claim that he is worthy to receive the suffrages of all his fellow-citizens. On the other side is ANDREW G. CURTIN, than whom a more unprincipled or unscrupu lous politician does not exist in the State. He was a Whig, then a bitter and malignant Know Nothing, and now he professes to be a regular "higher law" Black Republican. During the Know Nothing administration of Governor POLLOCK, he was Secretary of the Commonwealth, and was generally considered to be the " power behind the throne, greater than the throne itself," and is justly chargea ble with all the odious and obnoxious meas ures of that term of misrule. In point of ability and statesmanship he is below medioc rity, and as to hie honesty the less that is said about it the better for himself. Suet', fellow citizens of Lancaster county, are the men between whom you are to make a selection on Tuesday next. Look at them ; weigh well their respective characters and qualifications for the Gubernatorial office, and then decide for yourselves which of them is most worthy of your suffrages. DEMOCRATS, ARE YOU READY Are our Democratic friends thoroughly organized in the different districts of the County, and ready for the great battle that will come off on Tuesday next? Have the Committees in the several Townships attend ed to the proper organization of the party in their respective localities, and made their arrangements to have every voter at the polls ? If so, it is well ;if not, there is not a moment to lose. But six working days remain, and every moment of these should be improved, if we expect to poll a full vote for our gallant standard bearer, Gen. H.F.NRY D. FOSTER.. DEMOCRATS 1 We urge you, one and all, to be up and doing. he Gubernatorial election in Pennsylvania, this time, involves the most important results, not only to the State, but likewise to the Nation. Upon it may depend the question of the perpetuity of the Union itself. In the good work of electing Gen. FOSTER, Lancaster county can perform an important part, and a vote here counts just as much as it does in Berke, or any other County in the Commonwealth. Again, then, we urge upon the active men of the party the necessity of having every Democratic voter brought to the polls—no matter whether it rains or shines on election day—and that can only be accomplished by a-faithful perform ance of the preliminary duties, and making the necessary arrangements in advance of the day. DESPERATION OF THE ENEMY As the gubernatorial election approaches, the Republican newspapers are becoming fidgety and uneasy. They try in vain to con ceal their anxiety and alarm. The signs of the times, properly interpreted, augur dins• ter and defeat to them. With their terror, increases their unscrupulousness and malig— nity. General FOSTER, who is gathering friends wherever he goes, and whose prospects brighten every day, is the especial mark of their malice and aspersions. They are busily engaged in torturing and misrepresenting all that he says, and putting in his mouth things that he never said. Well may they tremble and turn pale. They will soon fall to gnash— ing their teeth. We expect to see them growing more desperate every day. They will have to be watched closely, for they are full of stratagems and frauds. Desperation, like necessity, %Abe mother of invention, and a party whoseaim it is to degrade their own rite - to a level with negroes, would not scruple to - do anything. So infamous an end can only be reached by infamous means. THE DISTINCTION. REMEMBER; voters of Pennsylvania, that the 'Republicans of Massachusetts, have re. cently pissed a law, ALLOWING NEGROES , 10 VP4,9n ONE year's residence; while they compel an Irishman, or a German, to remain SEVEN TASS'BIIPORE, EE CAN CAST A VOTE ,1 HORRIBLE SENTIMENTS -I —Womall_the.seriotut attenticreusible , and patriotic people of Pennsylvania to the following horrible and disgusting sentiments uttered by JOSHUA R.

And though I may not mock at their calamity, nor laugh when their fear cometh, yet I will hail it-as the dawn of a political Patriotic citizens of Pennsylvania, how can you sustain a party whose leaders openly promulgate such horrible sentiments as these? Do you not shudder at the bare thought of placing such men in power? Remember, this man, .GIDDINGS, is a leading Lincolnite ; and, but a few days since, in company with CURTIN, addressed a Black Republican Abolition meeting at Erie, in this State ! Are the people of Pennsylvania pre pared to endorse the teachings of such men as GIDDINGS, the infamous Carl Schurz, and the host of Abolitionists who have been pre cipitated upon our State ? No ! perish the thought ! Up, then Democrats ! and by one bold and united effort, put down these miserable, traitorous wretches, whose sole aim is to precipitate our happy country head long to destruction. THE LEGISLATURE As the Republicans count largely on carry. ing a majority of the Legislative candidates, it may be well to give the people a hint 'of what kind of a thing a Republican Legislature is. We had one last winter, and when it adjourned the Philadelphia Inquirer, a LIN COLN paper, paid the following tribute to its rascality : " Both Houses of the Legislature have ad journed, and for that one act we render them our hearty thanks ; for never in the history of Pennsylvania has a session been marked by more corrupt, wicked intriguing than the present. Every good citizen feels the blush of honest indignation tingling his cheeks when he thinks of their proceedings. No measure, however beneficial, could stand the slightest chance of passing, unless by profuse expenditure of money. Almost every man, with some noble exceptions, had his price, and, if common rumor be true, it was an enormous price. If it could not be paid in the hard cash, secure prospective profits were just as good." _ THE " WIDE AWAKES." As these semi-military organizations of the Black Republicans are exciting no little at tention throughout the country at the present time, and as many persons seem to be anxious to know something about their origin and objects, we clip the following notice from one of our exchanges : The Hartford Times says that " the name Wide Awake was the designation by which John Brown's company was known in Kansas, and was adopted in compliment to that ' mar• tyred hero.'" Mr. Seward said, also, in one of his late speeches, that the " Wide Awake" organization was relied on to assist at the inauguration of Lincoln—a fact which has been before hinted. The " Wide Awakes" have a replier military drill, and an organi zation throughout the North. The avowal of Mr. Seward proves that it is designed to support by b'rce, if necessary to their plans, the measures of an abolition Administration. The organization has been effected under the disguise of campaign clubs; but under this disguise the Abolitionists of the North are at this moment completely organized as a veil- ((try body of men. WHAT WILL THE CITY DO I This is a question frequently asked by our country friends. We answer that the City of Lancaster will do its whole duty on Tuesday next, not only for HENRI- D. FOSTER, the Democratic candidate for Governor, but also for the Independent County ticket. This our friends throughout the county may rely upon. Gen. FOSTER'S majority, we think, cannot be much less than 500, and it may exceed that figure, and the Independent:ticket will have a still larger majority. We base this salon lation upon what we know to be the state of feeling among our citizens, and the result will show that we have not miscalculated, unless something intervenes between this and the election, which is scarcely within the range of probabilities, to change the present aspect of things. RALLY THE FORCES S It is now clearly evident that Gen. FOSTER will be elected Governor, unless the Democrats fail to do their duty. Within the last ten days a cheering enthusiasm has manifested itself in his behalf all over the State. It is a spontaneous outburst of enthusiastic feeling among the people, which, like the freshening breeze, will gather until it becomes a hurri cane that will overwhelth the opposition.— Rally the forces, Democrats ! Keep the ball rolling ! Make your arrangements at once to get every Democratic voter in the State to the polls, and if this is done, we promise you one of the most glorious victories on record. OLD BERKS MOVING An immense mass meeting of the Democra• cy of Berks county was held at Reading, on Wednesday evening last. From all accounts it was a monster demonstration, such as has rarely, if ever before, been witnessed in that City. The meeting was addressed by Gen. HENRY D. FOSTER, the Democratic candidate for Governor, and several other distinguished speakers/and the most unbounded enthusiasm prevailed. Some of the oldest and most in- telligent Democrats present, gave it as their deliberate opinion that FOSTER'S majority in Berks county would not be less than 6,000 The good work goes bravely on, and every day the party is gaining strength in that cit adel of Democracy. A. TERRIBLE QUAKIIVG Some of the Republicans on the regular ticket are beginning to go in on a system of electioneering, heretofore deemed very irreg ular, when a nomination was deemed equiva lent to an election. They are going it, by day and by night, to the serious annoyance of horse flesh, and all the low-cunning tricks to which they resort, show that the prospects are not so bright as they would like them to be. We can only say to the Democrats of the County, be on your guard. Let no personal appeals of these men swerve you from the path of duty. There are but two tickets in the field—one Republican, the other Indepen• dent. Choose ye between them. A LIFE PICTURE. At the late great Democratic meeting at Goshen, Elkhart county, in the State of Indiana, the German Democratic club carried a beautifully painted banner representing a scene at the election polls in ilMassachusetts, where a long.heeled, thick•lipped darkey, fresh from the South, is received with open arms by the board of inspectors, while a respectable German is told to "stand back, as he has not been in this country seven years yet." If Black Republicanism gets into power, we shall in all human probability witness such things here in Pennsylvania, The progress of our Republicans toward negro , equality is sure and rapid.

The election of Lincoln•and • Hamlin, if consummated, mud be productive of the most disastrous consequeucea.. The doctrines of the. Republican leaders are in direct antagonism to that equality of the States, without which we cannot hope, to preserve the Union , and the Constitution. This position cannot be successfully controverted. It was plainly established when Mr. Seward said, at Rochester, that there waa "an irrepressible conflict beticeen opposing and enduring forces," and that " fite. United Slates must and will, sooner or later, become a slave holding nation, Or entirely a freblabor nation." Mr. Lincoln, the. Republican candidate for the Presidency, expressed the same sentiments when be said, in his canvass for the Senate of the United States, that the agitation of slavery "-will not cease until a crisis shall hare been reached and passed. ' A house divided against itself cannot stand.' 1 believe theovernment cannot endure permanently loalf slave, and rei." Under local laws, and the Constitution of the United States, fifteen States claim, and now enjoy, the right to hold negroes as property—a right which cannot be inter fered with, directly or indirectly, without destroying their equality, and weakening the bonds of a .common union. The election of Mr. Lincoln will indisputably add a new impetus to the agitation of the slavery question in the North—where it will end, the future can only determine. It may give birth to new disciples, Imbued with the spirit I of John Brown, who may again carry the torch, the pike, and the rifle to Southern homes, and disturb the shades of Mount Vernon and Monticello by servile ineurrections. Why should Pennsylvania, by her vote, give encourage ment to this dangerous agitation ? The men of the South are our brethren—they have their rights, and only ask for their maintenance under the Constitution and the laws of the country. The people of this State only know slavery as a Constitutional question; and, as such, they feel that its settlement belongs to the. Courts of the United States. There it ehould be left, in all time to come. The decisions of the Courts must be respected and enforced. All our property is protected by the laws, and construed by judicial tribunals. Debts are collected, wrogs are punished, and rights are enforced, by the same judicial authority. Why, then, should the people of Pennsylvania aid in the perpetuation of strife and agitation upon a sub ject which belcings to Constitutional construction ? In two weeks at; answer moat be given to thie important question. The vote of this State, cast in favor of Henry. D. Foster, will be an invitation to New York and New Jersey. already anxious to unite against Republicanism and Abolitionism, to join with Pennsylvania in the great struggle to restore peace did harmony among the sister Commonwealths of our National Confederacy. But the result of the October election is not only im portant in a National point of view. Local issues of im mense magnitude are involved in the contest. These have been partially lost sight of in the discussion of National topics. Three years ago the anti-Democratic administration of Gov. Pollock ceased to exist. His friend and official adviser was Andrew G. Curtin, then Secretary of the Com monwealth. and now the Republican candidate for the Gubernatorial chair. The brief limits of an address will not permit a review of the acts and policy of thatadminis tration ; but they are, happily, as familiar as household words to the tax-payers of Pennsylvania. Before power is again entrusted to the bands of those who are responsible for the public acts of that administration, the voters will no doubt exercise that calm discretion which is too often hint sight of In the political arena. The Reading Convention presented, for the office of Gov ernor, Henry D. Foster, of old Westmoreland. The repro- 1 sentatives of the people, unsolicited, toots him from their ranks ' and placed him at the head of the column. They know him to be honest, upright, and fearlees. Thoroughly conversant with the resources of the State and the wants of every section, he devoted every hour of his public life to the protection of the industrial interests of the masses. Assailed by reckless partisans, his character has withstood every assault, and escaped the point of every weapon. As a citizen, statesman, and patriot, he has won for himself a name for purity and integrity which "falsehood cannot shake, nor perfidy steal away." Having been true and faithful in the past, he can safely be trusted with power in the future. His election would restore confidence to the public mind, and increase the respect wilach is now paid to the Keystone of the Federal arch. In the great commercial emporium of our State. it would invigorate "trade, the calm health of nations." Throughout our towns and in the manufacturing and agricultural districts, it would be hailed as the harbinger of renewed prosperity. Free men of Pennsylvania! you are now called upon to aid with your influence In the coutturuniation of thie great and llorious work. To accomplish it, you will be required to abor earnestly till tilte ? ~ sun goes down upon the second Tuesday of October nett. In the battle now impending let all unite who stand upon the platform of the Union, the Constitution, and the enforcement of the laws. Let all who love their country, and are willing to array them. selves against Republicanism, ^claim kindred now, and hove that claim allowed." Tho ranks of the Pennsylvania Democracy are no longer broken—victory is within our reach, if we only stretch out our hands to grasp it—defeat can only be produced by apathy and indifference. No more need new he urged upon you. You know your duty, and you will not fail to do it. Its faithful performance at the ballot•boa will secure tranquility within your borders. and spread u now hots of promise from the icy waters of the Aroostook to the golden shores of the Sacramento. WILLIAM 11. WELSH, C ha/ rano,. Pwt..tneu to-t, Sep. 25, 1.600. "TILE END OF SLAVERY:" " With this victory comes the end of sia very."—From Senator Sezeard's Boston Speech. The victory here spoken of, is the election of Lincoln to the Presidency. The end of slavery! What does that mean? pertinently asks the Reading Gazette. It means that the " Republicans " are, what they deny being—Abolitionists. It means that it is their object, in the election of Lincoln, to abolish slavery in the States ; by fraud if they can ; by violence if it has to he resorted to. It means that, or nothing. Suppose the "Republicans" to have sue ceeded, by inciting the slaves to insurrection and by helping them in the work of blood and carnage, in bringing about the " end of slavery !" What then ? Where would be the benefit to the North ? Millions of ignorant and vicious negroes, without trades, and with unbridled passions, would at once be thrown into Northern cities. Without money, they would live by stealing and robbing. Bad enough in Canada, they would be infinitely worse, because they would be more numerous, here. Without masters to control them, they would refuse to work, and, congregating in cellars, their accumulated filth would soon breed pestilence. Our hospi tals, prisons and workhouses would be crowded with them. They would become a burden upon every community. The whites would have to be oppressively taxed to support them. They would be an intolerable nuisance and a curse to themselves and us. The "end of slavery" in the South would inaugurate in the North a condition of things indeed appalling ! Black Republicans would soon find that the evils of universal emanci pation would far exceed the evils of Southern slavery. They would feel it in an increase of crime, in an increase of taxes, and in an increase of pauperism, filth and disease. They are sowing the wind. Let them beware, lest they " reap the whirlwind." THE WAR CRY—FOSTER AND THE UNION ! Let this be the war cry of the Democracy from this hour until the night of Tuesday nest. Foster must be elected ! His suceees will change the whole aspect of political affairs in the Union. Union-loving men of all parties sound the tocsin —" Foster and the Union !" WHAT THEY DEMAND.—The following i 8 often quoted, but it will bear repetition a thousand times ; and at every perusal of it should bring out a blush of shame, to think that we enjoy the blessings of the same gov ernment, and inhabit the same country with so blasphemous and infamous a wretch : " The times demand, and we must have an ANTI—SLAVERY CONSTITUTION, AN ANTI—SLAVERY BIBLE, AND AN ANTI— SLAVERY GOD !"—Anson BURLINGAME, Republican Representative from Massaclem setts. IMPORTANT FROM EIIROPE.-By the Anglo- Saxon, at Quebec, we have highly important intelligence from Europe. Fifty thousand Sardinian troops bad entered the States of the Church. Pesaro was entered and twelve hundred German soldiers, with Gen. Bella, commander of the Pope's troops, were taken -prisoners. The Powers have protested against the entry of the Sardinians into the Papal dominions. Russia and Prussia proteit in the strongest terms, but would take ,no,pther step.

The engine 'was drawn by four iron-grey horses; each attended by a colored . groona.. - . The hose .nartiage was dramin by - two horses. The beautiful flag of the company was carried by Ensign - Amos Lee. The Union certainly' made a fine die. play, as they always do on such occasions. TOE EAGLE OP TRENTON, The visiting firemen of Trenton, .T.; came next. 'Mar shal, John Buckman. The Philadelphia Cornet Band pre ceded, and discoursed most admirable music. The company .numbered fifty-four men in.uniform, which consiste of the old-stele firemen's hat, black pants and belt, red shirt, and heavy black overroat There were four axemen, four torch bearers, and a banner-bearer who carried a beautiful satin banner presented the company by the ladies of Trenton.— The Trenton "boys" made a Splendid appeanance. Their fine-suction engine was drawn by the members, and is a beautiful and substantial apparatus. Before the parade was half over the engine,-wan literally enshrouded with ex quisite wreaths and flower baskets, and nearly every mem ber carried a wreath or bcquet. They were certainly heart ily welcomed and.received by the ladies of our goodly-city, . . . . THE YILIENDOILIP. The noble Friendship followed next, numbering 96 as gallant a body of men as we ever laid eyes cm Mounted Marshal, James K.. Alexander, Esq.; Rot Marshal, Edward McGovern, Esq ,• Assistants, Benjamin F. Sticker, George W. B rani. Leading the van were eight axemen and eight torch-bearers. The axemen were eight well-known citizens, and active members of the Friendship, viz: Alesers. Lewis Haldy,"John Shearer, John' C. Rupert, Benjamin Clay, Daniel Trevitz, John Conner John Shultz, Benjamin F. Cox. These gentlemen are all six feet in height., hroad• , shouldered, and weillinfit in every respect, and their com bined weight is 1774 pounds.' We do not believe- there is another company in the State which can present such a spectacle, and vet the Friendship has 4 11 few more left of the same sort:" The uniform of the company. is a grey capitola hat, red shirt, black paztaloohs supported by a leather belt at the waist, and leather leggins. A noticeable feature was an old basket suspended to the engine, labelled '•l76s"—befog one of the baskets used by the members of the old Friendship at that time for carrying goods out of houses endangered by fire. On the engine were also two little boys, environed in evergreens, who attracted much attention. And next came the gallant Washington, preceded by the Jackson Rifles' Band, who appeared for the first time In a new and neat uniform. Mounted Marshal, Maj. Samuel H. Reynolds; Foot Marshal, Lieut. Henry Nagle. At the head were four axemen, four terchbaarers, and the ensign who carried a large and beautiful silk flag. The company paraded sixty members. The uniform of the company - , which was considered one of the prettiest worn in the parade, consists of a grey capitela hat, drab shirt with red facing, black pantaloons supported at the waist by a leather belt, and leather legging. The company never had a larger turn-out or made a better display. A pleasing feature was the appearance in the rear of the company of a number of the oldest members in carriages, several of whom have been connected with it since its organization in 1820. The engine was unadorned with wreaths or flowers, but the mountings, Au, were brilliantly polished. It was drawn by four fine bay horses. The hose carriage was also plain, and was drawn by the members. This company have al ways been the especial favorites of the fair sex in the northern part of the city, and on Friday nearly every member carried either a handsome wreath, flower basket or bailift. In fact, Flora was never more profuse in her offerings than on this occasion to the Washington and the rest of the lire departhont. I=l This company, which always makes an interesting and imposing display, numbered 70 men, was preceded by the Jackson Rifles' drum corps. Mounted Marshal, Jesse Lan dis, Er,q.; Foot Marshal, Col. Samuel 11. Price; Assistant, Walter G. Evans, Esq. Their uniform was a maroon-colored capitols hat, red shirt, black pantaloons and leather leg gins. Preceding the company were the usual number of axemen and torch-bearerrs, and the ensign who carried a beautiful new silk American flag. The engine was finely decorated with wreaths and flowers, and drawn by four horses. The most interesting feature of this company's, display was a band of thirty persons disguised as Indians, and an admirable personation of Columbus, the discoverer of America. This'hit—so appropriate to the name of the company—took remarkably well. A young man also took the part of a sailor, which ho acted very well. In the rear of the company iu a carriage wall two of the old members of the company, viz Messrs. William Kirkpatrick and Anthony MrA3linn. Ties latter gentleman is the oldest fire man in the city, and is still an active member of the American. The hose carriage was drawn by 40 boys, who were dressed in white shirt, black pantaloons and glazed cap, and made a decidedly pretty appearance. INIZEMB The Humane' "Big 6," followed, and paraded 53 men.— Mounted Marshal, Henry Schaum; Foot Marshal, Georg Panto. Loading the van were four axemen. two pipemen, two torchbearers, and the ensign who carried a beautiful American flag. The uniform consisted of a black felt hat, white shirt,and red pantaloons with a blue stripe. It was a decidedly novel costume, and as a consequence the "MA" 6" bees were the 'observed of all observers." The engine was drawn by four grey horses, and looked neat and bright. '• - • - " - - MIME= . - . The Susquehanna of Columbia followed, preceded by the Columbia National Band. Marshal, C. A. Derrick. The company mustered 54 men, who wore a black dress hat. red shirt with blue rolling collar, and black pantaloons.— Four carmen led the van. The Susquehanna embraced in their ranks as fine a looking body of firemen as we have ever seen. The engine was drawn by the members, and woe without decora , lons, but brilliantly polished. _ - Then followed as noble a looking body of men as were in procession, the Pioneer limn of Marietta, preceded by the Wrightsville Band. Mountcd Marshal, Charles Kelly, Esq. The company numbered about sixty men. The uni• form, which is neat and pretty, consists Of a red leather hat with the name "Pioneer" in gilt letters ou the front, a red shirt and black pantaloons. Au appropriate hit was that of the veteran Capt. Miller, a soldier of the War of 1812, who stood on the Hose Carriage and, with ride in hand, personated the character of a Pioneer to perfection. • • - - - Last of all, though by no means least, came the Shiftier, preceded by the Martinville Band. Mounted Marshal, Alex ander Harris, Esq.; Foot Marshal, Conrad Plitt. The uni form, which ivas a theme of universal admiration, consists of a new leather hat (N. Y. style) with the name "Shiftier" in a semi-circle on the front of the crown, and the figure 7 underneath, red shirt with a loather shield on the breast with the figure 7 in gilt, and black pantaloons supported at the thigh with a leather belt. Four axemen led the van, with the usual number of torch-bearers, and the beau tiful Silk flag of the company was borne by the ensign.— The engine and carriage were drawn by the members, and both were bright and neat TUE EMPIRE TOOK AMP LALDER. Many regrets were expressed that Empire }look and Ladder Company, No. 1, a splendid organization, was not in the line of procession. They always make fine displays. The members heartily desired to participate is the parade, but from various causes found it inconvenient to do so. The procession was fully three-quarters of a mile long.— The route was very lengthy, taking nearly five hours to go over it, but not a murmur of complaint was heard (rein a single fireman. It is not the nature of the noble-hearted, self-sacrificing fireman to act the part of a complaining mortal. We have given a hurried description of the most brilliant and successful firemen's parade which has ever token place in this city. The 28th day of September, 18CO, will be remembered for long years to cern°. • TIE EAGLE FIRE COMPANY Of TRENTON, N.

They were immediately escorted to Clay's Hotel, corner of North Queen and Walnut streets, where a formal recep tion took place. Edward 3lcGovern, Esq., on behalf of the Friendship, welcomed the visitors in a brief and appropri ate speech, which was pleasantly responded to by Col. J. R. Frees, a leading citizen of Trenton, who accompanied the excursionists. At the conclusion of Mr. McGovern's re marks, the Eagle gave three hearty cheers for their brother firemen of Lancaster, and after Col. Frees' response the visitors partook of an excellent collation. They were then escorted to Shobor's Eagle Hotel, North Queen street, which was their headquarters. During the evening they wore taken inieharge of their brother firemen of this city, and entertained In various ways. On Friday morning, under the anidanee of a delegation from the Friendship, they visited Wheatland, the residence of President Buchanan, and were much delighted with their visit to that beautiful spot. They also visited the Agricultural Fair, and several other objects of interest iu the city, and expressed themselves highly gratified. On Friday night, at U o'clock, a grand entertainment was given the Eagle,. in the main saloon of Fulton Hall, by the Friendship, In which about three hundred persons took part. The entertainment wee presided over with great dignity and ability by Jelin W. Jackson, Esq. The banquet was gotten up by Mr. 11. K. Minnich, and wa.s r. superb affair. After the edibles and drinkables, of which there was a profess quantity on hand, were sufficiently discussed, the after part of the entertainment was opened by Mr. Jackson, who read letters from Mayor Sanderson and John S. Gable, Esq., President of the Friendship, re gretting their inability to be present. Remarks were made and sentiments proposed by Gen. Steinman, Col. Rheum, President of the Eagle, Edward McGovern, Esq.. Col. Frees, editor of the Trenton Gazette, Col. Yard of Trenton, R. W. Shenk, Esq., and Mr. P. I.oltourk. Our jolly friend Rupert. across the street, one of the big axemen of the Friendship, and by the way a capital singer, was called upon for a song, and gave "Our Country" amid much applause. The proceedings were Interspersed at in tervals with the choicest music from the Philadelphia Baud. Tue entertainment broke np at a late hour. On Saturday morning at 8 o'clock the Eagle was escorted to the depot by the members of the Friendship, where a brief speech wan made by Col. Frees, in which he thanked the Friendship and 'the citizens of Lancaster . generally Tor their reception and entertainment, and extended to them the hespitilities of Trenton whenever they should feel dis posed to visit that city. After various cheers for the firemen, the citizens of Lan caster, and everything good in general, the Eagle embark ed on the care and bid adieu to Lancaster. We believe every member of the Eagle, without exception, WWI de lighted with the vhit and will long hold it in kind re membrance. TUE AGRICULTURAL FAIR.--The Fourth An nual Exhibition of the Lancaster County Agricultural and Mechanical Scciety was held on the Society's grounds, north of the College. last week. The exhibition was not so large as the previous ones, but in some respects was much superior. The display of horses, cattle, agricultural implements, machinery, ladies'work, etc., etc., was exceed ingly fine, and would have been much larger had it not been for the threatening aspect of the weather. Tho at tendance of visitera on Thursday, Friday and Saturday was large, but the cold, drizzling rain of the former day Inter fered sadly with their pleasure and comfort, and prevented them from staying long on the ground. The city was crowded with people from all parts of the county during those three days. The Managers and Officers were assidu ous in their attentions and made every arrangement for the _proper display of articles. In justice to them, we mast say that we have never seen an exhibition which was better managed, and there is not a doubt but that it has left a good impression -on the hundreds and thousands who attended the Fair. We do hope that the Fourth Annual ExLibition has proved a profitable one to the Society, for we never knew a body of men who were more self sacrific ing and devoted iu their efforts to got up an exhibition whirls would be creditable to the greatest agricultural county in the Union. Our time has been so much occu pied that we have not had leisure td write out so extended description of - the Fair, but bad to content ourself with makiog a mete note of the Frame.

We head the list with Josaue R. GIDDINGS, the father of the Blaok Republican party.-- The extract will be found in a speech de livered by him in the House of Representa tives, on the 16th of March, 1854: " When the contest shall come, when the thunder shall roll and the lightning flash, when the. slaves shall rise in the South, when, in imitation of • the Cuban bondmen, the southern slaves shall feel that they are men, when they feel the stirring emotions of im mortality, and recognize the stirring truth that they are men, and entitled to the rights which God has bestowed upon them; when the slaves shall feel that, and when masters shall turn pale and tremble when their dwell. ings shall smoke, and dismay sit on every countenance, then, sir, I do not say ' we will laugh at your calamity and mock when your fear cometh,' but I do say, when that time shall come, the lovers of our race will stand forth and exert the legitimate powers of this Government for freedom. We shall then have constitutional power to act for the good of our country, and do justice to the slave.— Then will we strike off the shackles from the liMbs of the slave. And let me tell you Mr. Speaker, that that time hastens. It is rolling forward. I hail it as I do the approaching dawn of that political MILLENIUM which I am well assured will come upon the world." Next comes OWEN LOVEJOY, of Illinois, in that speech of his from which we have already quoted so much : . "I tell you, Mr. Chairman, and I tell you all, that if I were a sive, and had I the power, and were it necessary to achieve my freedom, I would not hesitate to fill up and bridge over the chasm that yawns between the hell of slavery and the Heaven of freedom, with the carcasses of the slain Give me my freedom. Hands off. Unthrottle that man. Give him his liberty . . He is entitled to it from his God." Now for the Hon. ANSON BURLINGAME, of Massachusetts, who, in a speech in Boston, blasphemously exclaimed : " The times demand, and we must have, AN ANTI SLAVERY CONSTITUTION, AN ANTISLAVERY BIBLE, AND AN ANTI SLAVERY GOD." THAT'S SO! The New York Express thinks that when Mr. CARL SUURZ shall have been twelve years longer in this country, and studied something else than the " Tribune," "Independent," and " Garrison's Liberator," he will begin to learn a great deal more of the pro slavery character of " the Hypocrites and Humbug gers of the Revolution "—such men, for instance, RS WASHINGTON, and JEFFERSON, and PATRICK: HENRY, and MADISON, and MON ROE, and SUMPTER, and MARION. Such facts as these will be learned by him : That our Fathers divided the Territories of the South into pro slave, all south of the Ohio—and anti slave, all north of the Ohio. That in the ordinance of 1787 there was a compact fur the surrender of fugitive slaves. That April 7, 1798, John Adams approving as President, Alabama and Mississippi were dedicated to slavery. That George Washington approved the first fugitive slave law (1793.) That in the treaty of 1783 there was a provision against the deportation of slaves by the British. That in the Judiciary act of 1789, slaves are recognized as property, as well as persons. That in the direct taxation act of 1813, slaves are taxed as property. That in the Treaty of Ghent, the British Government provided for paying our Fathers $1,200,000 for deported slaves. That Jefferson bought the vast Territory of Louisiana, and provided for Slave Property in the Treaty. Mr. Carl Schurz doubtless has read in the Federal Constitution the articles : Recognizing the Slave Trade until 1808. The contract to surrender Fugitive Slaves on claim. The principle of slave representation, for every five slaves, three votes to be counted. The compact to suppress slave as well as other insurrections, and to protect slave as well as other States from domestic violence. THE EDITORS , BOOK TABLE. HOMEOPATHY CONTRASTED WITH ALOPATRY.--- By J. G. Stehman M. D., of this city. The Author has left upon our table a copy of a pamphlet of some nineteen pages bearing the above title. Doctors, like lawyers and every other profession, will disagree; but as we make no pretensions to Esculaphin lore, we are not prepared to say which system has the hatter of the argu ment. The pamphlet is neatly gotten up, and will doubt less attract theattention of the medical fraternity, as well as others who have paid attention to such subjects. THE SUNNY SOUTH; OR THE SOUTHERNER AT HOME. Embracing Five Years' Experience of a Northern Gov erness in the Land of the Sugar and the Cotton. Edited by Professor J. H. Ingraham of Miss. Philadelphia ; G. G. Evans, Publisher, No. 439 Chestnut street. 1 , 60. The description contained in Miss Conysigham's lettere of the South and West, Nashville and its surroundings, plantation life in Tennessee, the Ohio and the Slississippi,- scenes of river life, Natchez. New Orleans and Louisiana, is daguerreotyped with raro - fidelity. A true picture of Southern life and doings, the negro inclusive, is presented in these attractive pages. Nothing is finer than the glimpses we get of the Italy of Amerlda, the beautiful State of Louisiana. A more romantic spot does not exist on earth than the region where the lucliy Miss Kate marries and settles down to be herself a Southerner. Along the bayone of Louisiana, with the wonderful exuberance, the temperate climate and the brilliancy of the atmosphere, we might imagind an Eden—the mountains left out. Those who desire to learn what the South really is should read these letters. - The coloring is indeed sunny, but far nearer the truth than the scandalous reports of Mrs. Stowe and her school of Northern fanatics and slanderers. Onr ac knowledgments are due.to the ckiecant Miss Conyngham for recalling so vividly and pleasantly, associations of the land of the glorious live oak and cypress.

The Ship What' Cheer arrived at San Fran cisco August 31, from Japan, with dates from Yokahama to-July 18. The following extract from a letter written the day of her departure appears in the IV: I: Atlas The Japanese steamer. Candinmarruh, which left this port last February, under charge _:of Capt. Brooke, •of the Fenimore Cooper, conveying the intelligence of the departure of the Japanese Ambassadors to America, arrived, here from Honolulu, after a passage of eighteen days. 'From the Ameri cans who came in her we learned that the Japanese conducted themselves admirably on board, taking the position of the vessel daily by the sun, and brought her, in a seamanlike manner, into this bay without acoident. The appearance of the Japanese steamer from America, with news from the Ambassa dors, created a great excitement both amongst the Americans and Japanese. The foreigners were anxious to hear how the Japanese had been received in America, and the Japanese were fearful less the Ambassadors would not survive the great trip across the pond. How ever, all doubts were dispelled when the great mail was distributed, bringing New York almost within hailing distance with this out of the way corner of the world. For the excellent manner in which you treated the visitors we are mainly indebted for the con— sideration with which we have been received at • the hands of the Japanese since their return to this country. The reports of the gorgeousness displayed in your city, especially your great dinners, have taken the people by surprise and wonder ment. Three dollars for a dinner was to there a marvellous and fabulous sum to pay, and they assert it was impossible to devour the value at one meal. Here a dinner in the best style costs an itsabu. There were many striking and wonderful sights which they saw, and it was not long before the whole town was made aware of the most celebrated voyage the Japanese had ever nndertaken, to gether with all the incidents connected there— with. All excitement, however, subsided, and the Japanese expressed a universal desire to see the return of their officers, and to receive from them a report in full, with properly authenti cated accounts, to be published and spread over the empire, showing to the people how foreign great nations looked upon Japanese officials. The hostile attitude, reported by previous advices, between the Princes of the empire, has been reconciled by compromises. The real cause of the difficulty is not known to outside barbarians, on account of the conflict ing and contradictory reports. Foreign merohandize has found its way to Jeddo ; American cottons and woolens were principal ly displayed for sale from the stores of the principal merchants. A well defined hostility exists between the native officials and merchants, the former being afraid that the others will get wealthy with the trade with foreigners, and thus wield a money power. Consequently spies are placed over the merchants, and every means employed to reduce their income, in order that they may have no wealth. A Portuguese man-of-war had arrived at Yokohama, prepared to enter into a treaty of commerce with Japan. At last advices the officials empowered to negoti— ate were at Jeddo. THE HIGHER LAW IN OHIO. We published recently a notice of the attempted arrest of two fugitive slaves in the town of Iberia, Ohio, and the outrageous treatment of the Deputy Marshals entrusted with the duty. The Cincinnati Enquirer of Monday week gives us the following particu lars of the outrage: About four months ago three slaves, brothers, escaped from Messrs. Reed & Pollock, near Germantown, Ky. It was subsequently ascertained that they had located near Iberia, Morrow county, Ohio, and warrants were issued for their arrest, and placed in the hands of the United States Marshal for the Southern District. On Thursday the Marshal proceeded to the locality, accompanied by two deputies, and some eight or ten men, and the negroes having separated, the posse divided into three parties, the Marshal giving full instructions to his deputies, who were men of nerve, and their assistants, how to proceed. Between seven and eight o'clock in the evening the Marshal himself seized the negro for whom he had retained the warrant, and after a walk of fourteen miles placed him on board a freight train, and succeeded in reach ing this city. An examination was had before Commissioner Newhall, and his condition being saisfactorily established, and the fact of his escape being proven, ho was remanded to the custody of his former master, and taken across the river. So far so good. But the deputies were not as successful as their chief. Neither. succeeded in securing their man, and one of them was most inhu— manly treated. Soon after showing his warrant he was set upon by a crowd of negroes and white men, to tike number of sixty or seventy, a part of whom were armed with guns and pistols. The negro was liberated, and the person of the deputy secured by the by the assailants. His clothes were nearly torn off, and, amidst shouts and oaths, he was beaten with clubs, to serve him, as the crowd said. "as they treated slaves at the South." The warrant and all his money were taken from him, and the mob endeavored to bang him, but failed to do so. They then extended his arms and placed him as a mark for the bullets of those armed with guns:— The deputy begged them to shoot him, rather than torture him as they had done. Those who were drawn np, when the word was given —"make ready—take aim "—hut, before the word " fire" was given, some one of the mob rushed in and begged them not to fire. The guns were dropped, and the deputy was liberated from his uncomfortable position. Not satisfied with the indignity and pain already inflicted, a knife was sent for, and the hair of the officer was clipped close to his scalp, and be was then turned loose to make his way out of the neighborhood, which he did with all convenient haste. Thelecond deputy also had a very serious time in attempting to serve his warrant, but we are not as fully informed of the partioulars. A number of the friends of the negro assem bled, and when the officer attempted to arrest him he was fired upon. The officer returned the charge . and shot off the fingers of a negro, from one hand, but was compelled to leave the ground without seculjng his man. Theta was also a rumor that two men had been shot, but we'traced it to no reliable authority. The matter will not rest where it is. GIN AS A REMEDIAL AGENT. GIN, as a remedial agent, has been in favor with the profession for a very long period, but owing to the difficulty of obtaining a pure article, it has fallen into disuse, in many sections of the country, much to the regret of medical men, who consider it almost a specific in very many diseases. For all cases of Gravel, pure gin, if administered under professional guidance, will certainly work a cure, and if taken as a preventative, acting, as it does, on the sensitive membrane, it cleanses the parts so as to remove all possible sediment. Administered in the same way, it will prevent the formation of Calculi, and do away with those terrible operations hereto. fore so necessary for their permanent - removal. Gin is of incalculable benefit to females' in those diseases so peculiar to the sex, and from its tonic, as well as its anodyne properties, it is frequently superior to iron bark, or even the electrical remedies. In cases of a positive tendency to Plaldeis, or Consumption, Gin, in proper quantities, by supplying or filling up to constant dying out of the natural fire of the system, will often entirely ward off that awful disease, which carries off one eighth of the population of the United States annual ly. Pure Gin has this peculiar advantage over other diffusible stimuli, that it exhileratea without creating any thirst of an unhealthy character---it soothes; while it also excites, and is a powerful nervino, as well as an active tonic. The "OLD LONDON DOCK GIN" of Messrs. A. M. BININGER. & Co., has been a favorite with the profession for 'many years. I have frequently prescribed it, and always with decided advantage; where my directions have been followed. It is evidently the product of very careful distillation—the active principle—the juniper berry, being so blended as to give to the spirit a very, delicate, fruity and aromatic flavor. In the , course of a practice of ten years I have had occasion to test many of the gins in the market, and, after a very careful examination or numerous samples, have decided that " BININGER'S OLD LONDON DOCK GIN" has - no equal: Really good gin is indispensable in• every household, and the OLD LONDON' DOCK comes emphatically under that head, In selling such an article at a fair price, this. Old: Knickerbocker house are doing Mitoli for owns of true tempertuice. ' • 7 • " COLTON, SALTER, M.- • . Wept Nth •Altreet, Is1.!Y;:.11 . . .
