The ticket? will be ready for delivery the latter end of the present week. MEETING OF' THE COUNTY COM- DIITTEE At a meeting of the Democratic County Committee, held at Shober'e Hotel, in this city, on Saturday last, the fol lowing resolution, approving of the action of the State Executive Committee at Reading, was tirmulmously adopted: Resolved, That we approve - of the action of the Demo cratic State Executive Committee at Reading, and that we recommend the Democrats of Lancaster County to give a united support to the Reading Electoral Ticket. THE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION But two weeks remain until the Presiden- I tial, election, and yet there appears to be a perfect lull in the political storm. Even the enthusiasm of the triumphant party at the October election seems to have settled down into a calm, and their Wide Awake gatherings and processions appear to have lost their foimer interest. As for our Democratic friends they realize the unwelcome truth that they were badly beaten in the first trial of strength with the enemy, and are hesitating as to whether it is worth while to make a show of strength at the November election.— We opine from all this--from the apparent exhaustion in both parties—that a much smaller vote will be polled in the county and State at the Presidenttal struggle than the figures show at the first contest. Still, it is the duty of the Democratic party everywhere throughout the State, to make another determined effortto keep their organization intact—to continue their exer tions to meet the enemy at all points, and battle valiantly for the right. We must not let our glorious flag - trail in the dust. We must do our duty faithfully and fearlessly, and let consequences take care of themselves. What if we were beaten, that is no reason why we should tamely surrender to the enemy. 'And even if we are beaten again, we ought to fall with our faces to the enemy. A second defeat would not be a whit more mortifying to our feelings than the first; indeed, the consciousness of having discharged our duty would more than counterbalance our regrets at the loss of our ticket. What say you, then, Democrats of Lam:me ter county ? Will you not at once buckle on the old armor and prepare to meet your Republican opponents on the 6th of Novem. bar? The Democracy of this county have always been in a minority, and yet they have manfully contended from year to year in defence of their principles. Why should they not do it now when those principles are at stake, and when even the Union itself is in danger? Permit us, therefore, to urge you to arouse from your lethargy, and do your whole duty manfully from now until the close of the Presidential election. „Let your seven thousand ballots be deposited against LINCOLN, and you will then have discharged all the obligations resting upon you, to the extent of your power. Remember, that the Old Guard may die, but it should never surrender. THE SKIES BRIGHTEN i The praise-worthy action of the Douglas State Committee in withdrawing their straight out ticket, and recommending a hearty and zealous union upon the Reading electoral ticket, has already infused new life into the Democratic party, and our friends all over the State are re-organizing for the great battle in November. This is as it should be, and we hope that Lancaster City and County will not be behind in the good work. The political sky looks much brighter now than it did ten days ago, and if the reaction, which has com menced, goes on for the two weeks which remain of the Presidential campaign, the De mocracy of Pennsylvania will have no reason to be ashamed of their vote after the ballots are counted off. Then, let us urge our fellow- Democrats all over the county to roll up their sleeves and go to work without delay. See to it that every Democrat is assessed at least ten days before the election. [That duty must be performed between this and Friday even ing of the present week.] And be sure that arrangements are timely made to have every voter at the polls. Work, WORK, WORK, shonldtnow be the order of the day. THE NEXT CONGRESS The gain of five or six Democratic members in Pennsylvania and Ohio, renders it almost certain that the next Congress will be opposed to the Black Republicans. They have not a clear majority in the present House, and it is quite probable that they will lose eight or ten more members in New York, New Jersey and Connecticut. It is therefore pretty evident that the House, like the Senate, will be under Democratic control, and even should Mr. LlN cow be eleoted President, which is by no means a foregone conclusion, he will be ren dered powerless for evil. APPOINTMENT BY THE GOVERNOR. SAHIIEL WHERRY, Esq., to be Associate Judgeef Cumberland County, in place of Hon. Samuel Woodburn, deo'd. This is n` most excellent appointment. We know Mr. WHERRY well, and we are free to say that a purer man does not exist, and a better selection could not have been made in 3 the County; The Governor, in this instance, at least, has found the right man for the right place, and the appointment will give nniver• sal satisfaetion to the people of Cumberland. EARTRIVAEL—A severe shook of an earth quake was felt at Augusta, Maine, on Wed nesday morning last. It was accompanied =by It loud report, and caused, many buildings lo rook. - The shook was felt all through that region of country and in Canada, and created considerable alarm. DOUGLAS TICKET. WITHDRAWN. The Douglas Executive Oommittee met in Philadelphia, on Thursday last—Gen Roumfort presiding—and after a full and free ' interchange of opinion,,almost unanimously passed thelolloWing resolutions withdrawing the Striight Out Tickiti and ; recommending 'the friends of itir: Thiircites throughout the State tci_eupport the Reading without qualifloationa or con ditions. 'The resolutions are : • Resolved, That this Committee, for the reasons aforesaid, does hereby withdraw the electoral- -ticket - -4ieretofoni---.appoinw : nd published by its order and direction. Resolved, - That regarding, as we have from the first—both on account of the regalari • of their nomination, al4 thee envy of the platform upon which they stand with that adopted by the Reading State Convention ,_-_Douglas _and. Johnimto_le.. sokly_entitled to receive the Demoarsitieeliefiiari o Pennsyhrtinie, 'We are "riot`peirbitteit iddoubt that vote will be given to them liy the electors - nci*lritiominstiob 'in imse Of suikielia=and especially as the history er the country in the'past has never, •except in a single case, shown a failure on tbe patt of any:elector ever chosen by the people to east his vote according to the instructions of the Convention .appointing him. Resolved, That thus believing, we deem it . proper under existing circumstance for the harmony of the Demooratio paxty of Penneyl-• vania, to recommend to the united DemOcracy of the State tbe electoral ticket as was originally formed at Reading in March last— now wholly free from questionable" pledges' and committals. -The Democracy of Pennsylvania can now go into the Presidential contest as a Knit. The party has but one electoral ticket, and by a united and energetic effort we may : yet save the State from the embrace of Black Republi canism. All good Democrats every where will rejoice at•this action of the Douglas Ex ecutive Committee, and they will work with a will from this until the evening of the election to bring victory back to our banners. The Democracy of the State are no longer divided ; nor is there any reason why Douglas Clubs and Breckinridge Clubs should continue to keep up their distinctive organizations. We should prefer seeing. them merged in Demo cratic Clubs, and all future meetings called expressly to advance the interests of the Democratic Electoral ticket formed at Reading. Let our Democratic friends now in Lancas- ter county go to work in earnest, and give "a long pull, a strong pull, and a.pull all to gether " for the electoral ticket at' the head of our columns. THE RESULT OP THE ELECTION The returns from the more remote counties come in slowly. We have now two thirds of the State officially, which shows a majority of over 20,000 for Mr. CURTIN. The remaining counties will probably swell his majority to about 30,000. We prefer waiting a few days longer for the entire official vote of the State before publishing the table. We shall, doubt less, have it in time for our next issue. The returns show the election of the follow ing members of Congress, being a Demooratio gain of three members (counting in Mr. Lim- EIAN,) as compared with the present Congress: 1. ...I. M. Butler, B. 14. G. A. Grow, R. 2. E. Joy Morrie, R. 15. James T. Kale, R. 3. John P. Verree, R. 16. Joseph Bally, D. 4. Wm. D. Kelley, B. 17. Ed. McPherson, B. 5. W. Morris Davis, R. 18. S. S.

For the unexpired term of the late Hon John Schwartz, of Berke, in the present Con gress, J. E. M'Kenty, Democrat, is elected. *Wm. E. Lehman, Dem., legally elected. PRINCELY VISITORS Our country seems to be just new the Para. dise of Princes. Last winter the Prince de Joinville visited. us. We have lately had the two Japanese Princes, who bad jfuss enough made with them to turn their 'droll looking heads, though they managed to Preserve a de• cent equanimity . . The visit of the Prince of Wales has excited those parts of our country through which he has traveled to a marvelous degree, and when it is known in Europe how we lionize royalty, we shall not,be surprised if we have visits from princes of every degree. Prince Napoleon, of France, was to have been in this country this year, but he has postponed his visit till next year, thinking probably that he will be better received than he would be now, coming so soon after the, heir to the British crown. Lastly there is a newly-arrived prince at San Francisco—no lesS a personage than Prince Lot Kamehameha, who is, if we mistake not, a brother of that mighty poten tate, the King of the Sandwich Islands. This royal guest came to San Francisco in a Hawaian yacht, and was the recipient of dis tinguished honors. Who is to be the next princely visitor to the United States? ADIEN , ,ITIES OF THE CAMPAIGN When Col. CURTIN visited Greensburg, a few weeks ago, be was the recipient of a very beautiful boquet, a present from the hands of the estimable lady of Gen. FOSTER. The friends of Col. CURTIN, in the Borough of Lebanon, repaid the compliment, on the Fri day evening after the election, by parading in their procession, and riding on a rail, the stuffed figure of a man, intended to represent the husband of Mrs. FOSTER 1 The graceful compliment of MTS. FOSTER to, Col. CURTIN reminds one of the scripture injunction, " not to east your pearls before swine." We are free to admit, however, that we look upon Col. CURTIN as too muoh of a 'gentleman to sanction such an outrage upon decency, and we do not believe the perpetrators of the out rage will experience any sympathy from the Governor elect. THE OHIO ELECTION. The official returns of the Ohio election show a Republican majority of only 8,794. As over fourteen thousand negroes were per mittad to vote in that State, it will be seen that there was a majority of nearly six thous and of the white voters against the Republi cans. How do the Republicans of this State regard a victory won by negro allies ? The following paragraph is from the Cleve land Plaindealer : " Full blooded negroes voted in several of the wards yesterday. At the Second ward negroes as black as coal peddled tickets. Negroes hired carriages and carried white men to the polls. Negroes were everywhere. The refrain commencing: " Sheep's meat's too good for negrees;' is an absurdity. Here on the Western reserve roast beef is hardly good enough for them. They sit at the first table, and white men are forced to lap up the 'crumbs at the second. That's the style here. That's what ails us. We have met the Africans, and we are their's!" UNITED WE, STAND Now that the Democratic party in Penn sylvania is happily united upon one electoral ticket, past errors ought not to be vindictively remembered. Recriminations and curses make no friends. Their real signifioance now is to teach us the road to future reforma tion. "Let the dead bury their dead," and let every patriotic, Union loving citizen unite upon the only course which will bring safety, peace and.prosperity to the Nation. tiirlar's Balsam of Wild Cherry, is a pleasant remedy for every kind of cough, cold, and irritation of the breathing appar atus • it is a safe-remedy ; it is a• powerful remedy ; it is a speedy remedy . ; it is a remedy that cures. • There's a vile counterfeit of this Balsam, therefore be sure and buy only that prepared by S.

House of Representatives Republican majority on joint ba110t..53 CARL SRURZ AGAIN The Examiner of this City, the Union, and other Republican jouynals, have tenderly cov ered, with their protecting shields, that wan dering Abolition orator, CARL Sault; and have charged us with dealing unfairly with him, misquoting his speeches, and misrepre senting his sentiments. We now invite their attention, and that of our readers, to the following from the Cincinnati Enquirer of the 4th inst., which we think, drives the last nail in the coffin of that insolent defamer of the fathers of the Republic. The Enquirer says : This Republican orator made a speech at Toledo the other evening, and, according to the Herald of that place, reiterated his ob— noxious sentiments about the Declaration of Independence, its signers and the American Revolution. The Herald says : " He did not deny any allegation that has been made against him by the Democratic press. He repeated his celebrated tirade, which we have published, word for word, and was cheered by the negro equality Republicans, to the very echo. His position, as stated sub stantially by himself, is, that if this govern ment was instituted by white men, to be administered by white men, for the benefit of white men, and if a negro is not the equal of the white man, ' then our Declaration of Independence was a diplomatic dodge," an excuse,' a hypocritical piece of special plead ing' drawn up by pettifoggers' to throw dust in the eyes of the world' and to '.inveigle noble-hearted fools into lending them aid and assistance A MEAN YANKEE TRICK —A WOODEN NUTMEG—THE MOST IMPUDENT IMPOSITION EVER PRAC— TICED UPON THE WHOLE WORLD.' " There was no mistaking the meaning of the gentleman. Republicans fell it, and the lack of enthusiasm thereafter could only be attributed to the wet blanket thrown upon them by his open and undisguised avowals, where they expected denials: that is, those not among their leaders—the rank and file." GEN. FOSTER AT -HOME Hon. HENRY D. FOSTER, late Demooratio candidate for Governor, reached his home, at Greensburg, on the day after the election. He was met at the depot by an immense crowd of his fellow-citizens, with a band of music, and escorted to his residence, where he was welcomed by Gen. Wm. A. Stokes in an eloquent and cordial speech. Gen. FOSTER was loudly cheered, and responded briefly as follows : Gen. Stokes and my Friends:—lt is impos• Bible for me to express the deep gratitude which I feel for all your kindness. lam defeated, but I trust not disgraced. I come among you again to live in peace, and I hope to show in the future, as in the past, my allegiance to the Democratic party, and my warm sympathy for my friends. During the whole contest just ended, I have assailed no man by word or act. I have neither said or done anything I regret, and I hope nothing for which my friends need blush. Firmly standing on Democratic truth I gladly resume my place in the ranks of the party—ready to fight the common enemy of the Constitution and the country. The Greensburg Democrat says : No language is adequate to eipress the enthusiasm of our people in behalf of our great citizen and distinguished friend. Suc cessful or defeated,. Westmoreland will ever prove' true to Henry D. 'Foster. He returns to 'Without fear and without reproach—the Bayard of Pennsylvania politics.

It speaks.for itself, and carries with Hits own comments : Ur Colored Men of Pittsburg and Vicinity ! —Yon are requested to meet and form your imlies into Wide Awale Clubs immediately, for the purpose of furthering the interest of the friend of the human race, Abraham Lincoln.

'BAYARD TAYLOR'S LECTuan.—The . lecture of this distinguished traveler on Thursday evening last, at Fulton Hall, wee a rich intellectual treat to all who heard it: The audience, however, in point of numbeis, was not over one-third what it should have been, nor what it would have reached, probably, if the notice had been published in air the newspapers of the city, instead of being confined to one. His graphic descriptions of Arctic scenery and the .habits and customs of the inhabitants in those frozen regions were exceedingly interesting; and, alto gether, the ease and faultless style of the lecturer in his delivery made his address peculiarly attractive. . FIRE INsuitexca.Now - thdt the season is approaching when fires are generally most frunent, the .necessity for ineurance becomeh more apparent. We, there- fore, direct the attention of our readers to the advertise ment of the Hartford Fire Insurance Company, in another column. It is the oldest and one of the Most wealthy companies in the Union, and ia worthy oLthe fullest confi dence. Jamas BLACK, Esq., of this city, to ,the authorized Agent for Lancaster county, tis whom application can be made. SHOULD MARRIED PEOPLE SLEEP TOGETHER? _ —Hall's Journal of Health, which claims 'high authority in medical science, has taken a stand against married peo ple sleeping together, but thinks that they had better sleep in adjoining rooms. It says that kings and queens do not sleep together, and why should other people ? Think of the idea of separating a newly-married couple on a cold winter's night, because Hall's Journal of Health says so I You go to grass, Mr. Hall. We venture the assertion that you are a jilted, erustyrold baobelor, and, therefore, know nothing of the tweets and pleasures of married life! DISTRESSING ACCIDENT.—On Wednesday af- I ternoon taut a distressing - accident occurred in the vicinity of Pocky Spt logs, by which the life of Lewis Hurford, Jr., of this city, was imminently periled. Lewis, a lad of about sixteen, had gone out In company with Hugo Fiddes, on a gunnin g etcurslon. The former had crossed a fence, and as Fiddes was in the act of getting over, his' gun was, from some unexplained cause; accidentally discharged, the entire load entering the right breast of his companion, and lodging under the breast bone. The injured lad was brought home to his father's residence, Lewis Hurford, Esq., in East Orange street, and placed under the medical care of the Drs. Atlee, who extracted a number of shot from the wound. The injuries sustained are serious, but not necessarily fatal, as the vital organs in the region of the wound appear to be uninjured. The injured lad is the only son of one of our most highly esteemed citizens, and- much sympathy Is felt for the afflicted family. Young Fiddes, the involuntary cause of the accident, suffers the - most painful mental anxiety— probably-more than the - violins of the accident. The cause of the premature discharge of the gnu is one of those un accountable things which are seldom satisfactorily explained. 'Republicans. Democrats 6 THE EAGLE FIRE COMPANY OF TRENTON, N. J.—The recent excursion of the Eagle Fire Company of Trenton, N. J., to this city, proved an affair of much pleas ure to the members, and since their return home they have sent to their friends here many expressions of regard and sympathy. At a meeting of the company, on the 11th inst., a preamble and series of resolutions were adopted, and we cheerfully publish those portions relative to their short sojourn in our midst: WIELEREIEI, By invitation of the Friendship Fire Company of Lancaster, this Company made an excursion to that city, on the 27th, 28th and 29th of September, and from the many testimonials of kindness we received from Our Brother Firemen of Lancaster, we desire to express to them our warmest thanks; therefore, Resolved, That our thanks are eminently due, and are hereby tendered, to the "Friendship Fire Company" of Lancaster, for the cordial reception given us on the occasion of our late visit, and for the many acts of kindness shown us during our stay among them; that we shall ever cherish in grateful remembrance our late visit to their city, and shall esteem it one of the brightest epochs in the history of our Company, and one long to be remembered by us ; and hope the time will speedily arrive that we may have an opportunity to reciprocate towards them, at least a portion of the many acts of kindness received at their hands during our short sojourn among them. To the Fire Department of Lancaster, one and all, for the splendid manner in which we were received by them as a body, and for the beautiful parade arranged for that occa sion, In which we as a Company had the pleasure to par. ticipate, wo hereby return our hearty thanks. To the Ladies of Lancaster, whose smiles we enjoyed during our stay, and who showered upon us in profuse abundance wreathe, baguets, baskets, and a thousand other testimonials of regard—literally strewing our pathway with flowers, and who did everything in their power to render our stay pleasant, we raters our warmest thanks. To "Mine Host" Shober, of the Eagle Hotel, and his stay agreeable, and to make us feel at home, we also return our thanks; and would recommend his house to all persons visiting Lancaster, feeling assured that they will dad him self and family pleasant and agreeable, and his tables loaded with the delicacies of the season. To "Mine Hoot" of Clay's Hotel we return our thanks for the splendid collation gotten up by him on our first arrival in Lancaster, and would also recommend his house to all visiting Lancaster. believing that himself and family will do all in their power to render the time pleasant and agreeable to all who may have the good fortune to stop at his house. To the press, who so kindly noticed our excursion, pro gress and reception, in such a beautiful and truthful man ner, we would return our warmest thanks. DESPERATE ATTEMPTS AT SlllClDE.—Thurs day's Express has the following: On Tuesday, about one o'clock, a colored man named Moose Morrie, aged about thirty, was discovered banging by the neck from a locust tree In a lot near the Pennsylvania Railroad Freight Depot. Ho was first seen by Henry Finefrock, who immediately rushed to the spot and cut him . clown. Other parties came to the ground, and after some exertions he was restored to consciousness. Had he remained in the situation in which he was first found but a few moments longer he would undoubtedly have been a dead man. Daring the day Mot ris made two other attempts to destroy himself by the same means, hut the timely discovery of his object prevented its accomplishment. The canoe of the rash act is attributed to flta of insanity, to which be is subjected whenever he indulges in a glass of liquor. It appears that several years since he was thrown from a vicious horse and Midi& skull fractured, since which time, whenever he indulges In liquor, he exhibits signs of insanity. About a year ago, while in the employ of Mr. Eckert, near Intercourse, he attempted suicide by banging, but was cut down before he was very far gone. Four attempts at suicide. and three of them in a single day, to certainly a remarkable event in the life of a single individual. We may vary the proverb here, and say that the "man who le doomed to drown, will not be bang." If Morrie will drink bad whiskey, and is deter- mined to destroy himself, it is very apparent that he must adopt some other mode than that offered by hemp. • .bilging family, for their earnest endeavors to fonder on THE CONESTOGA. STEAM MILLS—AN IMPORT ANT VEHDIOT.—The Court of Common Pleas was engaged last week, says Thursday's Express, in the trial of an im portant issue, affecting the interests of quite a number of our citizens, stockholders in the original corporation of the Conestoga Steam Mills. Quite a formidable array of conn sel were engaged in the trial of the cause, as many ea twenty, we believe, being engaged in the defence. We give a brief statement of the merits and issue of the first case tried: 1. The Conestoga Steam Mills failed in 1857, and were Indebted to P.. Patterson & Co., Philadelphia, in a large amount for cotton furnished. On the 2d of March, 1857, the property of the Mills was sold at Sheriff's sale'fo F. Sluvaier, C. H. Breneman, B. Snavely and G. W. Arnold for $23,000, subject to a prior mortgage of $lOO,OOO. The pur chase money was distributed to the operatives and some judgment creditors, leaving nothing to pay It. Patterson 44 Co.. and others, who bad furnished cotton and other supplies to the corporation. 2. This suit was brought against the whole of the Btock holders of the Conestoga Steam Mills, at the date of the purchase of the cotton from General Patterson & Co., as general partners, treating the corporation as a nullity, on the ground that the act of incorporation was obtained by fraud, that while the certificate and the proceedings neces sary to obtain the charter were correct in form, yet the statements contained in the certificate were not true In point of fact. This being the foundation of the Plaintiffs' case, and the offer to prove these facts being in writing were objected to by Defendants, as inadmissible on the ground that the corporation was, at the time the debt was contracted, a corporation de facto, and the question whether there was fraud In the procurement of the charter, could not be inquired into collaterally. The Coact sustained this view of the case and redacted the evidence, and as there was no other evidence the jury were instructed to find a verdict for the Defendants.

Lewistown 21-ue Democrat —a warm and decided DoucLes paper=talks in the following sensible manner : ( ,The. action of the DemOcratio State Execu-,- tiiaeliermittee, in 'I. - mending the remlutiens adapted at Philadelphia and, Oreasini, and recommending-, the pure Reading Electoral, Ticket `to the support of the Dernocraey of the State„ meets our hearty approbation and will 'reactive our icialotis siipport. 'Although the' Cresson resolution did not come up to what we deem:l,-We were perfectly willing to acquiesce in any arrangement by Which the Democratic organization could be maintained and the -enemas-of-the-party- promoted,-and- therefore gave it our support.. Now, however, that that resolution - has been rescinded by thiS power that created it, and the, Reading Ticket as Originally framed recommended, we can see no juslifteatiomfor any man professing to be a Detnecrat withholding - from it his zealous and-- unqualified support. , -. That -ticket was fraped, • by a. Convention, in which .the De mocraey of the whole State were represented, and if succeisful themer composing tlie. ticket Will be actuated in the discharge of their 'ditty' -in . the Electoral '•College by tionseientious motivesiand. - -by an ardent , desire ;to prove faithful to. the , sacred.trust confided,to them,. As. )3104 we shall support that ticket, not pausing to inquire Whether the Electors favor Stephen A. Douglas Or 'John C. Breekinridge in their'predilections: . - IT IS ENOUGH FOR US TO KNOW' THAT' THEY rbO . NOT FAVOR ABRAHAM'',.LINCOLN, , OR• ANY OTHER. BLACK- - • We: nyoke the. Democracy to , stand un flinchingly, by the. Reading, Ticket, and Black Republicanism, although jubilant over a .tem porary success, achieved by , outside assistance, may yet be conquered and vanquished. With -the Democracy of the Statonnited upon that Ticket, every mannn it can be eleeted. From the returns of, the gubernatorial elec tion, the gratifying fact is exhibited that Black Republicanism is in a hopeless minority in thil Old 'Keystone, and unaided by others cannot Carry the State, '• The Constitutional Union party number at least 75,000 voters in the State, and it may safely be estimated that at least two:thirds, (50,000) of this number cast their votes for Andrew G. Curtin. ' in the absence of a candidate of their own. But for these 50,000 'rotes AndretS G. Curtin would not have been elected. THESE 50,000 VOTES ABRAHAM LINCOLN WILL NOT RE CEIVE, nor will he receive the- votes , of at least 15,000 conservative "People's .Party" men who voted !qv' hfr. Gur/in, but who cannot be seduced into the support of a sectional Black Republican candidate for the Presidency. It is evident, therefore, that 'LINCOLN . CAN NOT CARRY PENNSYLVANIA 'IF THE DEMOCRACY ARE UNITED. In the face of these facts, what palpable folly it is for either -wing of the Democratio party to talk of running a separate Electoral . Ticket. We call.upon all Democrats to spurn every attempt fending to further distraction and division in the party, the inevitable result of which would be the election of Lincoln. The fight with us has resolved itself in one thing: THE DEFEAT OF BLACK REPUB— LICANISM, and we me prepared to cast our vote and lend our humble influence in the direction which in our judgment will con tribute most essentially to that end, whether our vote will elect Douglas, our first 'choice, Breckinridge, our second choice, or Bell, our third choice. We prefer any conservative man to Lincoln. SENSIBLE TALK ! The Chicago Times—the - home organ of Judge DouGLas—is beginning to talk sensibly. Discussing " The causes of our failure " in Pennsylvania, Ohio and Indiana, that paper thus wisely counsels the abandonment of tao. tics which can but serve to keep up hot and vindictive feelings, and the hearty co•opera tion of all Union men in opposition to LIN COLN and his allies: "Oa the great issue of sectional aggression every Democrat and every Union man is agreed. That great issue is alone before us. What is there, then, which should prevent us all from uniting to defeat what we all despise? The true and only reason must be that our enmities or jealousies prevent our cordial association. And is it supposed that we can increase that cordiality by mutual abuse and recrimination ? Do curses make friends ? Shall we aid that union which alone can save us, by pouring oil into the lamp of discord? The folly of such a course is so manifest that the questions need no repl" " T y. he errors of the past ought not to be vindictively remembered. They have now no real significance to us, only so far as they may teach us the road to future reformation. Let the dead bury their dead, and let all patriots unite in that course which will insure the safety of the country. Any other advice than this is the offspring of a deluded malice —a malice that it is as painful for good men to witness as it is fatal to the hopes of the Democratic party and the Union. ":This is no new opinion, engendered by a momentary defeat ; we have so believed from the beginning. Our reverses have only served to practically demonstrate what, from the beginning, our simple , t, but unprejudiced, common sense had taught us. All men who love the Constitution of the United States and the Union of the States have a common sacred bond that should unite them as brothers in this terrible crisis. Let us, then, forget the past, and as one man unite to sustain the Government and the Union, as founded by our fathers." We will not mar the effects of this advice by touching afresh the wounds that have been inflicted upon the Democratic party, or by attempting to fasten upon a particular section the entire responsibility of the difficulty.— But we ask the Times, and other ji6urnals like it, to look at the circumstances under which the inculcation of the lesson has been ren dered necessary, and to consider what por tion of professed Union men have most need to study its teachings. We have nothing more to say, except to endorse heartily the language and tone of the above extract. LISTEN TO A PATRIOT The following is an extract from the fare well aidress of ANDREW JACKSON. They are words fitly spoken, and worthy the considera tion of every citizen at the present time. Rend them, reflect on them, and then ask yourselves whether they are not the words of wisdom and truth The citizens of.every State should studious ly avoid every thing calculated to wound the sensibility or offend the just pride of the peo• pie of other States ; and they should frown upon any proceedings within their own bor ders likely to disturb the tranquility of their political brethren in other portions of the Union. In a country so extensive as the United States, and with pursuits so varied, the internal regulations of the several States must frequently differ from one another in important particulars ; and this difference is unavoidably increased by the varying . princi ples upon which the American colonies wore originally planted ; principles which had taken a deep root in their social relations. before the Revolution, and of necessity, infiu, encing their policy since they became freeand inide - pendent'States. But each State has the unquestionable right to regulate its own in— ternal _concerns according to its own pleasure; and while it does not interfere with the rights of the people of ,other States or thelights of the Union, every State must be, sole. judge of thiimeasures proper to their happiness ;,and all efforts on the part of the people of other States to cast odium upon their institutions,` and'all measures calculated" to disturb-their rights of property, or to put in-jeopardy their peace And, internal tranquility, are indirect : opposition to the spirit in which the Union was formed, and must endanger its safety. Motives of philanthropy may be assigned for this unwarrantable interference ; and such men may persuade • themselves for a moment that they are laboring in the • cause of humanity, and asserting the- rights of the human race ; but every one, upon sober reflection, will see that nothing . but mischief can come from their improper assaults upon the feelings and rights erc:thers. Rest assured, that the men found busy in this work of discord are not worthy of your confidence, and deserve your strongest reprobation. ger One thousand men. are employed in the United- States the manufacture of sewing , machine needles, and. the prate, on ,them amount to nearly, $BOO,OOO a.year.

The Prince ar• rived at • St. Johns, New Foundland, on the 24th of July, and at Halifax on the 30th. He reached Quebec on the 16th of August, and the principal places afterwards visited by him were Montreal, Ottawa, Kingston, Tor onto, Niagara, Detroit, Michigan, Chicago, St. Louis, Cincihnati, Pittsburg, Harrisburg, Baltimore, Washington, Richmond, Philadel phia, New York, West Point, Albany, Boston. In less' han three months he mast have tray oiled over ten thousand miles. We see it stated that before the. Prince's departure from Washington, President Buchanan addressed an autograph letter, filled with the warmest expressions of regard, to the Queen mother Victoria, in' which he spoke, in terms of studied, yet sincere compliment, of her son, the future monarch of. Great Britain, and declared his satisfaction .at his visit. LINCOLN'S RECORD WHEN resolutions of thanks to General Taylor were introduced into the House, Jan. 3d, 1848, Geo. Ashman, the President of the late Chicago Convention, moving to add as an amendment, the following: IN A WAR UN NECESSARILY AND UNCONSTITUTIONALLY BEGUN BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES- Lincoln voted for this amendment. Hence, it appears that Lincoln desired to thank Gen. Taylor for "obtaining a victory over the enemy (at Buena Vista) which, for its signal and brilliant character, is unsurpassed in the military annals of the world," but "in a war unnecessarily and unconstitutionally began 1" That is the kind of thanks Lincoln desired to give General Taylor and his gallant soldiers. In Lincoln's speech on the war, (see Con gressional Globe, 1848, p. 155) he thus spoke of the President: "The blood of this war"; like the blood of Abel, was crying from the ground against him." Thus it will be seen that Lincoln regarded the blood that our soldiers shed in Mexico as crying from the ground against them, like the blood of the murdered Abel. Were our officers and soldiers in Mexico murderers ? Lincoln answered in effect that they were. FIRST CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT There is no question that Mr. Lehman was deprived of his certificate of election in the First Congressional District by the fraudulent alteration of the returns. Even the Republi cans do not pretend to deny that Mr. Butler holds a certificate of election procured by fraud, and to which he is not entitled. The case is too clear for dispute. But having procured his certificate by disgraceful means, Mr. Butler has, as, yet, shown no signs of relinquishing it. If he is an honorable man he will not take hie seat in the House of Rep— resentatives by virtue of a certificate which he must know is false. But in the face of notorious facts, he persists in holding on to the fruits of forgery, thus rendering himself an accomplice, in the fraud by means of which Mr. Lehman is to be cheated out of his rights. Party necessity is no excuse for each conduct. Perhaps Mr. Butler may take his seat in Congress, and perhaps his vote may enable the Republicans to secure the organization, but this would only increase his infamy.— Mr. Lehman will doubtless obtain his seat, but be should not be subjected to the delay and annoyance attending a contested election. —Harrisburg Patriot. THE Mout°Ns.—The New York Times says: Judging from the accounts which reach us from Utah, Brigham Young has very little idea at the present time of leaving the valley of the Great Salt Lake with his followers, for even the more genial climate of a Polynesia, or an East India Island. In fact a revival of the old Mormon spirit seems to be going for ward, which is likely to lead to a more firm establishment of the Saints in that region than ever before. The Tabernacle, which for some time after the advent of the United States troops remained closed, has recently been once More opened for public worship, and Brigham himself harangues the people two or three times every Sabbath. Missionaries are also being sent out to Europe and other countries, among whom is the celebrated Elder Orson Pratt. A Summas aisz.—The case of Thompson, now under sentence of death in Philadelphia, presents a singular phase and one which, probably, has never happened before in any court in the world. Some months ago Judge Thompson passed sentence of death on John Capie, who was clearly convicted of murder in the first degree. Through - some influence, he obtained a pardon from the Governor and was set at liberty. Continuing his bad habits and frequenting his bad haunts, Capiellecame involved in some tdifficulty,with Thompson, who, in, turn, murdered the murderer. We now have the singular.- spectacle of a Judge, who, sentenced one man to he hung, .passing a like sentence on another for murdering the one it was formerly' pissed 'upon, and both' undoubtedly justly-condemned to the galloWs. Truly this was blood for blood: - • BOOT AND SHOE TRADE QP BOSTON WITH-THE .

" BEHOLD YOUR CON QUEROR t PP Suoh was the classics language of the Gov ernor elect of the great State - of Pennsylvania toward • those Who, in i the exercise of their rights, had dared to vote against him. We have always supposed that;in the•honr of tri— umph the magnanimity of the heart poured forth its richest treasures—that victory hum; bled the . spirit , of the Great. But listen to, the - language if A. G. Curtin, uttered when his fellow citizens had assembled to congrat— ulate hiid on his eliivation to the highest office in the gin. of Pennsylvanians. "To my oppo nents and traducers, I say, (rising a step high er than he had before stood and elongating his elastic person to its greatest altitude,) "BEHOLD YOUR CONQUEROR! I have you under my feet, I will fight you for three years and the odds will be on my side !

AN UNEXAMPLED 'TRAGEDY—Two WNOLE FAMILIES ENGAGED IN DEADLY COMBAT.—A Gates county (N. C.) correspondent of the 'Petersburg Express gives the following account of one of the most brutal and desperate tragedies ever put on record. A man named Jackson accused , his neighbor Davis of having stolen some of , his hogs, and npoa.last Friday evening, in walking around hie farm, he discovered, three .of ,Davis' children on his 'land, whereupon he carried one of them home with him, .The two other children returned home and told their parents what had hap— pened. ...Infuriated; they armed themselves with guns axes and knives, and soon presented thernseltres . at - Jackson's house where a general fight ensued,in which both men, women and children participated. They shot until their - ammunition gave out, and then closed in with axes, knives and gun barrels. During the shooting, a son of Jackson's, a mere boy, was I killed by (it is thought) a son of Davis, also a lad. Seven of the party were dangerously wounded—one of the women having received a broken arm, and it is' said, fifty buck shot! From all accounts they fought as long as they could, and quit with mutual consent. The surviving parties have been arrested, and placed in the county jail to await trial. SNow.—There was a very heavy- fall of snow here on Sunday last the 14th inst., which continued from about 7 o'clock in the evening until after midnight. Some five or six inches must have fallen, and in conse— quence of the dense foliage still remaining upon the trees, considerable damage resulted, limbs some three or four inches in diameter in many instances being snapped off. The peach trees suffered most severely, very few, except in sheltered situations, escaping. On the mountains between here and Manch Chunk, the snow fell to the depth of from 6 to 12 inches, but by Monday noon was all gone. At Hazeltori, we learn, it was seven inches deep. This is an early appearance of old Winter.—Brakesharre Union, of Wednesday lasi. THE PROSPECT IN NEW YORK.-111 a letter written by the eloquent Chas. O'Connor, Esq., of New YOrk, on the Sth inst., to a friend in Tennessee, the following paragraph occurs: * * * "We feel morally certain of de feating the Black Republicans in this State. That accomplished, the failure of their candi— dates is inevitable. We have laid aside all personal predilections, and I might say all party ties except those which bind us to the Constitution and secure our hostility to sec— tionalism ; we have taken cognizance of the truth that if New York can be saved the whole country will be safe, and have written upon our banner ' Union for the sake of the Union.' All the conservative men of our State are now united in the support of a single electoral ticket." GREAT CROP or APPLES.—The apple crop is so abundant in New England that the East ern growers are at a km to know what to do with their fruit. The Boston Courier, speak ing of the immense yield, says : The land is full of . apples. Every orchard has produced an abundance. It has been a year of great plenty, and - if apples would only keep . as grain keeps, we should have enough of this year's product to supply us through . seven years of apple famine. But unfortunately they perish with the year in which they were grown, and the question is an important one with farmers, what shall we do with the apples? They can't be mar— keted, a fourth of them. The markets are glutted. Many farmers are glad to take a dollar a barrel for picked fruit. Thousands of barrels can be bought at that rate in the immediate vicinity of Boston. Fifty cents a bushel, at retail, would secure sales of more than four times the average annual sales of the last ten years, and doubtless the price will come down to that. THE TONNAGE TAX CoNsmuzioxer..—The Supreme Court of Pennsylvania, now in ses sion at Sunbury, have delivered an opinion affirming the decision of Judge Pearson, of Dauphin county, in the suit against tbo Penn sylvania Railroad Company for the tonnage tax overdue. Judge Pearson dedided the tax to be constitutional, and the Supremo Court, in affirming the decision, have thus settled that point against the Railroad Company. A considerable amount of money, wiihheld by the Company until this question should be decided, is now due the State, and will doubt less be paid without delay. EXTRAORDINARY SNOW STORM IN NEW Jza- SEY.—We learn from Morris county, this morning,. that a snow storm occurred last night in the vicinity of Budd's Lake, and ex tended for many miles in every direction from that point. The ground was covered to the depth of two inches, and trees were bending under the load this morning, presenting , brilliant and novel spectacle.—N ewark Ad— vertiser, 15th. seir Franklin Buildings, Philadelphia, five stories in height, in the rear of Franklin Hall, on - Sixth street, below Arch, were burned Fri day morning. They were occupied by Duncan White, bookbinder, whose loss is $2,500; William S. Young, job printer, in whose premises several weekly and monthly paper forms were destroyed, including those of the Presbyterian, Quarterly Review, and Christian Instructorloss unestimated; Smith & Peters, stereotype printers, loss • $3,000. The total lose is $15,000, and is covered by insurance. Serb The Catholic church in Carlisle, Pa., was entirely destroyed by fire on Sunday, evening, 7th inst. The fire was the work of an incendiary, there having been no fire in the building since last spring. THE TE♦ TRADE.—Daring the year ending April .30, 1860, there, were exported from China to the United States 31,661,426 pounds of tea. The export to Great Britain for the same period amounted to 78,416,052 pounds. say- Potato rot is doing serious injury in the neighborhood of Buffalo, New York.— Some farmers havelost almost their whole crop.
