it owes it us a duty to him and itself to exer-

tionists aonfessing, tiwir nso' of this fact by
abandoning their scheme of restoring the Mis
souri Cornproinise. We have seen Know
Nothings protesting their devotion to the ChM'
stitntion, and, at the moment of this writing,
the rajority, thrown by a mistaken imptrlse
into the popular brine!) of Congress,' is sub
divided into cliques, -gull under different
leader, and all because no sufficient number
'can be brought together on constitutional
principles to organize that body.
MOlMOille the Democracy s tand calmly arid
firmly by their stainhird, and behold the omens
of coming triumph in these unconscious testi
monials to the principles inscribed upon their
banner. Who, in
,t he
,anti • Demoera tic opposi•
tion: Would have supposed that such a spec
tacle Would have been presented, after the alto.
cessiVe advantages achieved by the northern
fusion? While Oreeley and his crew were as
sailing the National Democracy for their stead
fast adherence to national principles, they lit
tle thought the time was so near at h and when
that Democracy would prove potent enough to
put its adversaries to shame by the force of the
very 'national principles so derided and de
holineed• Even those who claim to have been
sound on those principles when they united
themselves with the Midnight Order, were not
prepared to be balled so speedily to an ac
count, and .to find. when the hour arrived
which they had anticipated as the fruition of
nil their hopes, tlnt they could make no min-.
bination4ithout 'yielding to the force of the
Democratic example. The great ttutli appa
rent in all these demonstrations is. that no par
ty of men can permanently maintain an organi
zation in this, eountry . unless they are united
"by a common and a ilia! creed. Every real
compromise must be based upon' this senti
ment. Thuslfasititi way - maintain itself for
the btief period of a popular election; but W hen
ever that fusion wanes to execute the trusts
confided to it, by the people, it inevititbly halls
to pieces, unless those ;On compuse it not to
gether upon coed principles.'
A remarkable instance of this was presented
of the tendency of the opposition to yield to
expediency :when they placed Jolts Twin in
nomination -for the vice presidency in 1640.
He-agreed with them In opposition to Mr. Vitze
Beaux, and this was the idea which induced
,them to confer upon him the nomination : but
.they forgot he differcd from them in referenee
to great truths, and accordingly, when the
time came that was to test his identity with
them upon .pernianent questions, they were
confounded at the fact that ho had not aban
doned his devotion to the Constitution. and the .
result was' their speedy disorganization and
defeat. But if this bo true of individuals, it is

DANGEROUS SPURIOUS TWENTY - DOLLAR.
BILLS.—The Baltimore Sun of Wednesday last
says : Several $2O notes, purporting to be
on the Bank of Gettysburg, Pa., have been pub
in circulation in this city, wilbitro a few days.
On Monday evening a stranger called at the
office of Dr. Prentiss, on the corner of Biddle
and Monument streets, and made a purchase.
of seine niedicine, and in payment tendered a
twenty dollar note ors the "Bank- of Gettys
burg." The Doctor, wi'hout suspecting any
thing wrong, or even examining it very closely,
stepped out to• make change, and happened to
I meet with Mr. Toltn: Zell„formerly an efficient
I officer, to w horn he exhibited-It. • Mr. Zell im
,.
Vnediately pronounced it to be spurious, and
accompanied the doctor back to his office,
where the stranger was in waiting. .In. reply
to a question he stated that he resided. in Pop
pleton street, and that his name was "John
Smith" alias Clarke. As Mr.. Zell had no•
doubt of the note being a spuri-ous one he took
the said "Jan Smith" into custody, and he.
was committed to jail, to• await a• further ex
mininution, by Justice Hayward: Three or•
1 four individuals who had taken similar bills,
-within-a day or two,-made-known their losses
yesterday, and there are probably other suffer
ars—Me p
guard. The bills have no dou-bb been. altered.
from those of some broken or other bank, by
inserting the Ni ords "Bank of Gettysburg,"
rather clumsily,. as the plate appears to be
well finished.
The Barn of Mr. J. WATSON BAR, in Mount
joy township, was detroyed by fire; with
nearly all its contents, on We.duesday last,
about noon. Mr. Bar and his hired help were
away from home hauling lime, and there being,
no men about the premises, but little was
saved. Some 1400 bushels of corn, with a
large quantity of other grain, was lost. There
was no live stock in the building at the time,
which was fortunate. No inmirance.
It is not known how the fire•originated ; but
some suppose that it was the work of a careless
straggler who passed there smoking a pipe
shortly before.
- Such a luxuriant covering of the richest
green, as now beautifies the greater part of
the grain fields, has been, seldom, if ever seen
at. this perioil of tho year. The remarkably
''growing full," has even brought forward
those fields Tuit in unusually late, owing to de
lays occasioned by the excessive amount of
lain, in such a manner as to enable the young
grain to stand the severity of the winter.
