Yesterday was indeed a Onions day
for the Democracy of Northern Penn
sylvania., The' great Mass Meeting
went off in the best possible style and
spirit, and a most splendid and magnifi
cent affair it was. We have no •room
to give details this week, but have de
layed out paper a day and reserved
space sufficient to herald forth thejoy
fol tidings that the Democracy of the
North, the sturdy yeomanry of the
green hills of Bradford, Susquehanna,
and .Tioga were out in their might,
While the numbers were swollen by
the company of their brethren of
Wayne, Wyoming and Columbia, and
'Tina and-Chemung Counties in the
State of New York. We hardly dare
give as opinion of the' number in atten
dance for fear we should be thought'
extravagant. We heard several esti
mates made on the ground varying from
Tea to Twenty THOUSAND, several
judicious Bridge .admitted the number
tofbe from 8 to 10 thousand.
• The Meeting was organized upon
the public square at 1. o'clock P. M.
Ron. JOHHLAYORTE, presiding.and was
addressed by the Hon. JAM;. BUCHAN
AN far nearly two hours, ina strain of
the tnost impassioned and commanding
eloquence. Although the sun beams
were pouring down' with unremitted
• intensity upon the vast multitude, all
seemed , eager to catch every word, and
the audience remained upon'the ground,
as if riveted, through the entire time oc
cupied by Mr. B. Re was followed
by Mr. FORNEY pf Lancaster, who was
also listened to with deep and , earnest
attention for opt - yards of an hour.
.Several other Speeches were made
by distinguished men, of which we
wilt speak in the account next week.—
The very best of feeling and tip warm
eit enthusiasm prevailed on all bands.
,NOt a shade of doubt, of the entire sue
ce, u of Democratic principles. in the
.slug contest, could be seen in the
conk mances of a single Democrat.--

If the Coons expect to make capital
out of their unmannerly attempts to dis
turb Democratic meetings, they'are much
mistaken. The noise made by the coon
minstrels, on Monday 'ad Tuesday eve
nings, while the democrats were holding
meetings on the public square, had no oth
er effect than to excite the pity and coil
tempt of the democrats, and the dispet
of many of the considerate whigs. \Ve
have reason to believe that several have
abandoned the Coon party forever, in
consequence of the manner in which the
lower order of Cains outraged all Decen
cy and propriety.

Dsirserrs.—The Federal Argus is
out catering for Abolitionist vote'. We
wonder if this will coinplete the list of
their bill o 9 fare. First it came out for
Gov.-Siward for Vice President, be
cause he would certainly carry all the
Irish votes, he having taken an active
stand in favor of the Irish against the
Native Americans. Dui finding this
no go. that paper turns round and puts
out a feeler for the votes of Protestants.
This project is not yet abandoned.—
Every week the Argus is trying to con
vince the Protestants, that the federalists
are their special friends until after the
election. Then comes an appeal to
th'e Masons, then to the anti-masons.--
They . have. no objections to naturalizing
English emigrants. but have seriousob,
*dons to German and Irish emigrants.
Then the Methodists are appealed to.
to support Henry Clay because a vio
lent pro-slavery clergyman certifies to
hie character. - Then comes the appeal
to the abolitionist. Why did not the
Argus publish Mr. Clay's reply to
Mendenhall on the subject of Slavery ?

demagogueism does not show.up the

Main lines of our public improvements,

the democracy of this State understand
this metier, and will not - consent to
transfer tnto the hands of a. monopoly

enterprise and profit.

the case with all laige corporatimii.—

Whereas, now they yield to the State
a handsome revenue and will ultimately

have more to say on this subject here

COL. Pots AND THE POOR.—Wit
heard the stale federal slander of Col.
Polk's refusing to aid the poor of G eorge
town,reiterated by a Federal orator the
othet day. They affect great sympa
thy for the, freezing poor all at once,
forgetting to say .that Col. Polk. in
stead of voting to give away 60 cords
of wood which Congress had no au
thority to do, motioned that the Ser
geant-at-arms he ituthorized to retain
the per diem pay of each member, to
he appropriated's° the relief of the suf

and it was to •enforce the payment of

ottihat this - rnle was taken,
'lt was contended on the, part of the
that the true coitatruction of
the Act of Assembly is, that the hiss of
the fees is intended, to operate as a pen
alty on the arbitrators, if their report is
not filed within se i ven days, but that
the -party who paid their& is not in such
case to lose them.
It was contended on the other hand,
that an award etiuld not be said to be
tianiinitted to, until it arrived at the
Prothonotary's. office ; and, that in this
case. the report not having been filed
within seven days, the defendant could
not be compelled to pay the fees of the
arbitrators.
_ The Court said, that the object of the
Act was to secure proniptnessi - and that
though- the loss of the fees was intend
ed as a penalty on the arbitrators if their
report was not filed in time. Yet, that
the plaintiff in this case, having volun
tarily paid the arbitrators, he could nut
recover back the fees.
