THE VALUE OF ONE VOTE.
One vote in the United States Senate an
nexed Texas to the United States. Mr. ilan
negan, of Indiana, cast that vote. _One vote
in the Indiana Legislature elected Mr. Han
negan to his place in the Senate.
_That vote
was cast by M.vlison Marsh, of Stanton coun

attempt was recently made.to get up a Know

Our Meetings.
There is one feature about our meetings,
which it affords us peculiar pleasure to notice,
and which furnishes a sure augury of success.
Not only are Democratic meetings, wherever
held, largely and enthusiastically attended,
but they are attended and participated
in by a large proportion of that kind of men
who compose the bone and sinew of the com
mit-laity. • .
A Noble Old Democrat.
At a meeting of the Democracy at Cincin
nati last weex, there was introdueed to themul
titnileLa_nian of ninety-one years:of age, who
had voted' twice for George :Washington as
President of.tho United States, and who also
votod for Jefferson, Madison, Monroe, Jackson,
Van Buren, Polk, and Pierce. - At - the - chise
of the meeting this very man arose, and, in a
clear, firm voice, declared that if his life was
spared till November nest he would vote for
Buchanan and Breekinridge, in order to hand
down that Union which he had helped-to-form
his-grcat=grandchildreu. Loud. huzzas - and '
music followed this impressive spectacle.
- gar The German club of the Fourth Ward
of N. York city, whiCh has been supporting
Fremont, has backed out of the negro-worship
ping party and gone over to Buchanan.
'racy do nut like a man • whO tries to stand on
two platforms, and who
,announces that "he
- snits his replies to get the votes of all sides."
Charles J.. Jenkins, the leader of
the Whig party in Georgia, and their candi
date fur Governor, has written a letter which
excites deep interest in that State, sail will
have an effect in.other States. He announces
himself as still a Whig, but as in this, crisis
unequivocally in favor of Buchanan, whom. he
calls "the wisest, must conservative, most
reliable Democratic aspirant fur the Presi
dency." •
BEeThe Democratic party, us a mtional
pa.rty, neither defends slavery, nor goes out
into a • crusade against slavery. It, lets it
Anne. It favors the policy of allowing it to
_b_e_se_ttlnd hy_the_peo_pl_e_of_State_s_an_d_Ttrri

we learn that the whole of General Itied's

and determined to maintain the peace and ex

had been taken prisoners at Lawrence. The

stolen property sufficient for them to live on

There was a report last evening that sever

that the violence which has so long prevailed
in Kansas is at an end. Gov. Geary began

interest has been manifested. in many quar

which was to tome (AI , Jit the `2Stl—Tuesdav
last—arid we are. now able to gratilv prilr
lie curiosity. Three weeks - age, the -Demo
crats challenged the Abolitionists, and this
challenge was accepted by the latter. It was
a challenge to discuss the great issues involv
ed in the present canvass; and the interest
occasioned thereby was great. The Aboli
tionists named Thaddeus Stevens and Bur
lingaine as their champions;' the Democrats
W. A. Stokes and 11. D. Foster, of Westmore
land, ant the indomitable Ellis B. Schnabel.
as theirs. Stevens had accepted the 'fe.pon
sibility; and doubtless Burlingame too. The
day arriN ed. Hundreds flocked to the scene.
The ears to Blairville, and Indiana were crow d
.ed with the curious and the interested; and
tli latter place was crowded with a liv
ing rua4i. Thaddeus Stevens was on . the
ground, representing the Disunionists, ;111(1
was accompariled by Mr..Cowan, of Westmore
land. E. -B. Schnabel, Stoke.,, and Foster,
were also on-the ground for the friendsi)f the
Constitution. Twi.absentee was Mr. Burlin
,;aine. At the-appinted hour the Democrats
were ready for the-discussion, but their-oppo
nents were non est. A message was then sent
to the latter, telling them that the Democrats
were ready. After a long delay, the Tply
front the abolitionists was, that they woo
senclan answer man hour. Before this hour
expired, it was ascertained that Thaddeus
Stevens was on the Abolition stand, addressing
tiis followers. Alter he was through, the see
end reply came, that he (Stevens,) would not
meet the Democrats, but that Mr. Carson
would meet one of them next dav! In vain
our friends offered to let Mr. Schnabel meet
Mr. Stevens; the latter declined, and without,
entering the town of Indiana, stole away in a
private caniag,e. This must inglorious re
treat is worthy of Stevens, and so consistent
with his history, that his own - friends hung
their heads in shame. The upshot was, that
the Democrats held the ground, and able
speeches mere made by Porter, Stokes,
Schnabel, and others. Mr. Schnabel kept the
stand for several hours, and with his aI:CIA

welkin ring with his exposures of
_Stevens and .

One swallow does not make a summer ; nei

old enough and shrewd enough to know this;
-and therefore he applies the following wet
blanket to the backs of the over-sanguine Fre
monsters who delusively think that the Maine
election has decided who is to be the Presi

"Some of our friends seem to be laboring
under the pleasing delusion that the Presiden

sen. After the late result in Maine, they are
confident that Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Il

ALLAAMER'S Sunrise Air-Tight,a beau
tiful design of a new fiat top Cooking
Stove, just out. It is only necessary to say,
that after very many years of experience,
and being fully conversant with all of the
various kinds of Stoves which have been in
vented on the down-draft principle, that I have
taken advantage of every well known improve
ment that has from time to time been made,
particularly in reference to the formation and
construction of the flues, which are nlwaya
necessary to be large, and I have fully applied
every improvement and combined them all in
the "Sunrise Air-Tight Cooking Stove." This
Stove is made very heavy and is a good sub
stantial article ; I have made them extra heavy
hi all parts where lung experience has proved
it to be important, and I can assure my custom
ers, that I have Spared neither pains nor ex
pense in getting it up:, and it will not be ex
celled by any stove now known, of a similar
character. lam conVinced that it will at once.
become a standard Stove.
Sic&-I have fully tried them in every way,
with W 001) and COAL, and strongly recom
mend them to the public. They operate in
the most satisfactory manner.

This Association is founded upon honest
and fair principles. Each book purchaser
gots the value of his money in the book, and
on account of the great number sold, becomes
a share holder in much vai t uable property. A
certificate will be presented to each book pur
chaser entitling the holder to an interest in
the above valuable property. As soon as the
books are all sold, notice will be given to the
stockholders and a convention will be held at
Newville, at the Institute's Hall, when a com
mittee will be chosen, to whew-the property
will be delivered, to be distributed among the
shareholders. All the articles that can, will
be exhibited at the Institute's Fair on the 12th
August. From the very flattering manner in
which this Joint Stock Association is received
and pritroniued, and from the number of tick
ets alrendy sold, it is confidently believed that
the property can be delivered to the share
holders in a few months. For the character of
