The coming Presidential campaign will undoubt
wily 'be unusually Severe and trying. The per
liireal elements. now
,lying so calm and unruffled,
will be lashed into commotion by the nominations
made by the two Conventions about to meet. De
mocrats must prepare for a fierce, unrelenting and
unscrupulous contest with their ancient enemy. Fe
deralism--driven to desperation, will rally its for-
oes Mr a great and desperate effort, which will re
qnire the united and vigorous exertions of Demo-
crats to 'withstand. The Money Power will again
be brought into-the field, and its whole influence
wielded,- to repeal the People's, Tariff, and reAntact
the law to protect capital. The various political
q uestions which - 4;4re so often reeeived the seal of
condemnation from the American people, are to be
resuscitated, and urged with ten-fold vigor, by
means of money, misrepresentation and falserood.
The most desperate anti is now to be made, to
break down, rlivide and conquer the Great Repub
lican Party. lit view of these apparent truths, and
of the necessity which now so urgently presents it
self of ".keeping before the people" the great car
dinal trutlui and precepts of the Democratic faith—

fallacies of Federalism,—the Bradford Reporter

Great pains will be taken to make the Reporter;

to avail themselves of the our liberal offers.

as to strike Mr. Lewis, who was instantly-killed.

to comment somewhat at length on the late meet

good old Democrat, who has attended the County
meetings regularly for more than a dozen years
says that the meeting on Tuesiay night was the
most harmonious of any 'held ; for the last three
years. This speaks well for union and harmony
this fall."
The news from Mexico, which we publish this
week, contains but little inform stilttr upon which
to found a conjecture as to the probability of the
ratification of the treaty. A quorum of Congress
had not convened at Queretaro, amtahould they be
persuaded to assemble, there is great doubt as to
any action being had upon the treaty. It is stated,
though lee have net seen tt firmed--tat letters
have been received in Washington, from Mr. Sa
me., stating that he has no hopes of a ratification
of the treaty by the Mexican Government.
The bill-holders of the Erie Bank, will we trust,

Ix TROUSLE AGAIN.—The man Rkinefrarf, whose

furnished with a full suit of tar andfrathers is now

He was arrested for passing paper money, which
never laid :owe bank counter, and our county lock
up, affording rather poor accommodations,- be was
very considerately removed to the Tinge' county
jail, last week, by officer Tiffany. We trust that
he will dud things there to his liking, for the short

SOMETHING FOR THE Cuatoos.—We were 'shown,
a few days ago,a gun barrel, found in the trunk of a
hemlock tree, near F. J. Sherwood's, in Rush town
ship, by Mr. Beebe Wells, which taken in ctmnee
lion with the situation in which it was found, is
really a curiosity, and elicits much speculation:
The tree out of which it was taken; was only about
eight inches in diameter, and the barrel
through it nearly horizontally, or at right angtrarbt,
ing thoroughly "grown in." It is'epwards of three
feet in !mirth, four square at the breech, and eight
an elegantly finished article, its sights being gold,
and its breech-pin pure silver. How it came there
and how long it has been there, are the questions
which elicit solution. It must have been lost or left I
there before the s tree commenced its growth ; but
how long before, and by whom, no one can tell or
surmise. The age of the tree, judging from the
number of grains in it either side of the heart,is
110 yoars, and yet strange to way, the gun brm

A QUERN. STOlLlre•••The MO Chair Repahani,
of the 17th, has the Wowing ;
Our readers have doubtless heard the repot! of
the alleged apprehension et Matamoros ' in Mexico,
of one of the robbers of Dr. Darlington, President of
the Bank of Cheater county. Some account of the
matter, therefore, as it has since been developed,
may not be uninteresting.
Some time in February or March last, the 'Bank
here received a Loamy 401111 a Mr.Reren ßn
oflicer - in the Galveston Bank,. Texas, statin g at a
man by the name of Harrison had been in that
place passing *too notes of the Chester County
Bank ; that on inquiry being mode of him, as to
his having with him notes of a Bonk so distant„
he accounted for it by representing himself as the
son of a Director of the Bank ; that shortly after he
left, in the direction of Matamoros, on the Rio
Grande, news came of the robbery of Dr. Darlinron ;
that pursuit was then made by Reynolds who follow
ed on to Matamoros, where he overtook Harrison
engaged in buying mules, apprehended him, found
some eleven hundred 'd of Chestereotmty mo
ney on him, which he took, and put him in prison.
At this interview, Harrison told Reynolds that his
real name was Hitchcock ; that he had received
the money in Cheater county in August last, from
George W. Lefever,
and that he was in the Texas
country at the time tithe robbery, which last Rey
nolds subsequently bond to be the tact.
The story of Ifitclrock, last told to Reynolds, id
reletion to the money, we understand from a ger.-
deman connected with the Bank here, is coma—
The books of the Bank show that Mt. Lefever, at
that time did draw from the Bank a Iconsiderable
sum of money, which Mr. Lefever says he paid
over to Hitchcock—thus fully clearing' H. from any
participation with:the robbery or stolen money.
But who is Hitchcock ! Why, he turns mete be
the man who dionmearedvilt suddenly from Phi
ladelphia, some time last fad , and was supposed
to have been murdered , uite an excitement
prevailed there . for some time on the subject, and
suspicion was, a time, directed to a Mr. Hood
with whom Hitchcock was last seen, a ,suspicion
now proved _have been entirely groundless.—
Hitchcock still lives ; and the fact appears to be
that he secretly withdrew himself from Philadel
phia.

explained. One or two skeptical individuals who
visited the house of Fox where the marvel was, ob

some one generally Fox himself, was sitting on the
edge of the bed. It was also remarlted that he mov.

slightly. He was requested to.leave the room and

bed, and by a slight movement of the body was
able to produce the same knocking. The bed was
then removed to another spot where it had a more
steady footing. The astounding consequence was,
that the knocking ceased, the.ghost of Canargws
was laid, and a vast quantity of faith and creduli

" I go ashore at the Narrows, below New York,
