Our ticket from first to , last is one around which
, :vety true-hearted man who loves his country more
than party should clelighr to rally. Tile name cd

front rank of the friends of freedom and equal rights:
To IL-47, 1 e raised the standard of freedom in Con

an.) Wirlevere formerly Meurbers of the Democratic

swallowed up and controlled by the , slave oligarchy
ins' the booth i•ince that time they have done yeoman

turn on our county ticket formerly acted with the
Whig party, tin that party, like the Democratic, be
came subsidized by niggers and cotton, when they
united with the Free Democracy of the North upon
the Ilrepul,licurr platform. The ticket was placed in
nomination by one of the Most intelligent Conventions
ever asembled iu the County. No one has dared to
breathe a.syllabie against a man upon the ticket,,re
" tlectip,g upon his honesty or capacity. Most if not
all of them have at 'different times :served the people
of their re...Teeth-T.2 townships in a public capacity,
and rtaarc,known to be men of strictest integrity.
Our enemies have endeavored to sow discord in
our ranks by inducing sonic who were dhisippointed
in a nomination, to offer themselves as independent
candidates. A regular epistolary correspondence has
been kept up by the old Slavedriving leaders,.prom
hing R.trpubliems who would take the field the lull

. .Beware of Tri j ckery!
It is perhaps unnecessary to ward Republicans to
beware of the "but cards" alb electioneering tricks]
of the enemy. Frosts party rit desperate and sm
scrupulous at.the Sham Democracy of this County,
all sorts of desperate measures nay be looked for.—
The only safe course for us is ti) pay no attention to
eleventh-hour rumors, but gu 'Straight forward and
vote the Republican ticket, the whole ticket, arid
nothing but the ticket.
t r One of the tricks very commonly resorted to
by the Sham Democracy of oar County, is this: In
Townships where the Republicans hale a majority
the Hunkers, about the time nominations for Town
ship officers are beginning to he talked of, will pre
tend to be opposed to bringing!party into these Jo
cal elections, and will offer to drake up- a ticket com
posed partly of Republicans and partly of Hunkers.—
To many this looks very fair and liberal, and accord
ingly Repnblicana'are sometimes found to till in with
the plan, so that on elettion daY there are two tickets
in the field, one composed wholly of Republiams, and
the other.. partly .of Republican,' • and partly of the
Sham Democracy. In some Townships enough Re
publicans have been drawn in to the support of such
mixed tracts to elect them ; end we believe in every
such ewe the result has been claimed by the: party
and announced in the Dessoerai u a Democratic vic
tory! and u foreshadowing the speedy downfall of
Republicanism ! In consequence, Republicani have
pretty generally come to the Inclusion that hereaf
ter they will make regular Republican nominations
for every office, from President to Constable,' and
will bare nothing to do with those mixed tickets,
which arc only got up to cheat Itcpublicins, and are
never heard of in those Townships where the Hunk
ers have a majority.
Quite a contest has been for some time .going on
among the Hunker leaders on the question of .intro
ducing the same system of tactics with respect to the
County ticket. Boyne are in favor of dropping Tuttle
and adopting Chapman as - the i Hunker Candidate,
hoping thereby to divide the Republicans, and 'elect
Chapman, in which case of counie his election would
he elaitned as a Democratic victory, and the defeat of
the Republicans in their stronghold would be pro
claimed by the pro-Slavery press throughout the land,
with great rejoicing*. But others are afraid that,
even if they should adopt Chapttum, they could not
elect him-iu it might be hard to bring up their forces
to support 'a man they have so lately denounced as.
an old Whig, a Know Nothing, a Black Republican.
traitor, be.; or'the Republicans tuighi r perceive the
game and all adhere to their own! ticket—and in that
ease all their labor would be lost, ; 1 and the Sham De
mocracy would be more disorga nized: than ever.— .
What the decisicn will be we are not at present a .
ware, but one thing is certain, if the Republicans un
derstand what they are about, and go straight for
ward in support of their own candidates, all this fig
uring, and maneuvering of the Shr Democracy can
not injure our cause, but will very likely to in
jure themselves. • 4 - 1
P. S. The Shamoeracy refuse to take Tuttle out of
the field; they have printed Their tickets with his
name for Register and Recorder ; land the Democrat
of this week says, 4, Our ticket way nonknatsd in good
faith, and will be supported astir ." iThey hope to
elect Tuttle , if they can split np the Republicans.
Mir Election, Tuesday, October 13th. --
t ar The Southern masters of the Democratic par
ty having decreed that the doctrine that Slavery ex
ists under the Constitution In all the ! Territories shall be
1,
the Democratic cloettine,the donitiface leaders in the
North are busy,instructing their Oloweis in the new
belief. It will he swallowed as true Democracy by all
blind partisans, of course. We hti7e already showed
by abundance of proof, that the uniform poficy of the
government from the beginning ill within a few
years, and the opinions of statesmen and jurists (with
st..- cepnon of Calhoun, the nullifier) have been in
favor of the Republican
_doctrine that Congress has
control over the question of Slavery . in the Territo
ries. We have shown that this Republican doctrine
has been repeatedly endorsed by the Democratic par
ty of this State, and of this Congrenional; Dis
trict: We have also quoted .lames Buchanan's
opinions, given not ten years ago, to the same
effect. We now propose to shim that, no long
er ago than 1850, Senator Douglas, r*w the great
champion and exponent of Sham Democracy, altho'
be had adopted the 'then newly prOmulged but now
repudiated doctrine of Squatter iSovereignty, held
opinions entirely inconsistent withlthe Calhoun doc
trine that the United States Constitution is a in:it-
Slavery. Constitution, as now promalged by President
Buchanan and the Supreine Court.
/n a speech in the, Seriate, Feb istuy 12, 1850, on
the question of the reception of a Petition concerning
Slavery in - California, Mr. Douglas 'said :
i
"The principle of self-govertimen is, that each ecmi
munity shall settle this question fo itself; and I hold
that the people of California have the right either to
prohibit or establish Slavery, and we have no right to
complain, either in the'North or the South. whichev
er they do. I hold Litat,.tql thew do establish it, the
prohibition of Slavery is the territories Schick we
acquired by treaty, attached to thei soil and remains
in force. I hold it as a legal proposition. I' am
ready to maintain it, either on the fundamental prin
ciples of Imo or the authority of the Supreme Court
of the United Stotts; as a priseilole of law and a
principle, sir; that while it nu* Leic t ontroisrted., can
never be overturned. • Dente I sk , that whilst this
petition only asks Congress that E very shall not be
extended to New Mexico 'and
Calornia; the fair in
terpretation of the petition is , that Congress shall peas
no law to, extend it there, : or recognize its existence
there. This is a petition for non-tenon, As much as
the petition which came from North Carolina the otb
er day, which prayed that the Writnot Proviso should
;not be extended there. If one Is received, the other
should be."

Again; on the following day, he osid:
~.. ... , . ,
." What share had the South MI the , Territories?
Or the North ? Or any ether geographical . division
unknown to the Constitution? I answer, none—
none at ail. The Territories belong to the United
States as one people, one nation,
and are to be die
posed of for the common benefit of all, according to
the principles of the Constitution. Each State, as a
member of the'Confederacv, has a right to a voice in
forming the rules and regulations for the government
of the Territories ; but the different sections—North,
South. East, and West—lure no such right. It is
no violation of Southern rights to 'prohibit Slavery,
nor of Northern rights to liravo the people to decide
the question for thenreelvii.—Apprurt,r to Congres-,

Mr. Douglas, in replying, in the'istne speech, to
Mr. Webster, who had charged that the Democracy
had pledged itself and the country,! In the act an

t After the British had repealed all the duties
they had impitsell on ankles imported into the cola
nits, except that on tea, our forefathers resisted that
as a tyrannous measure to which freemen could not
submit,and a Revolution was the consequence. A code
of laws far more odious and oppressive have been in
flicted on the people of Kansas, icy a much more tyr
annous usurpation of poa'er,•and now because the
usurpers have repealed two or three out of the long
list of barbarous enactments which constitute the
bloody code of Kansas, our northern doughfaces
blame the people for not submitting quietly to those
that remain on the. Border Ruffian statute book. If
a robber will spare your life, you ought to surrender
yottr purse to him cheerfully,, on the principle advo
cated by the Sham Democracy. Tyranny which as
sumes the forms of law, no matter how irrepjlarly,
they teach us must be submitted to.

Letter from Teitneisee• •
SLAVERY Aso nu noon wurrys.-
Ifessns. Enrrons: In my - former letters setting forth
the habits of the hireling whites of this country, the
value of their services as compared with those of the
slaves, Le.,.1 endeavored to point out a class.who
are by the rich here denominated " gray-backs," and
by the sippers called "real poor white - folks." There
is another Class of poor in this country who are as
noble and enterprising people as are to'be found in
any country. This class of laboring *bites tlgl them
selves too near akin to royalty to hire themselves
out as common laborers.
It may be of interest to your readers to know some
thing of the laboring white women of this part of the
country, and the value of their services as affected
by the peculiar institution: As the softer sex are
more sensitive and retiring than ours, in like ratio
they shaink from a cOnapetiton with_negro labor. It
is almost impossible to get a white girl here to do
hOusehold " drudgery" on any conditions whatever.
An application for their services, %inlei•s in an im
plot ing attitude on a plea of sickness, distress, or
something of the kind, is almost certain to meet with
such a response as this- 7 ." I'm -no nigger," or, " oar
darters are not niggers."
.Idany here deplore this unhappy relation , of poor
white girls to labor. Say they, " Were it not that all
those who arc able to hire, own niggers,' our daugh
ters might find regular employment and at the same
time be respected._ By their earnings they might
clothe themselves more beccinaingly and; with less.la
hot titan they now do by working in the cotton fields.
Besides .byworking nights and mornings and Satur
days, they might be able to go to school a part Of the
tithe; but, as it is, with our scattered neighbors, as
poor as ourselves, we but seldom - have schools, and
those we have are not , fitted for girls arrived at the
axe of Womanhood."
Such are soma of the glorious limits of that institu
tion which the present amassing ex-Gorennor and
ex-Senator Brown, of Mississippi, calla - "the poor
man'a friend."
Rather than the white females of this country will
sell themselves to Slavery—to labor together with
nogro slaves—they will work out in the open fields
under a tropical sun, (which is " too hot for thewhite
meri t ") go in filth and rags, deal themselves of ed
ucation and social refinement, nay, in mans instances,
'sacrifice their virtue and their sours salvation! Pat
these Lieu in the opposite pocket to that in which
you cram the epithets "fanatic, abolitionist," fie.—
They may keep you from growing lopsided.
From the foregoing you may i-eadDy perceive that
the housekeeping qualities of the class of females
designated must necessarily be very rude, even Ink
rim to those of the negro wench whohas been reared
and disciplined in families of wealth and household
refinement—laying aside the convenient* of making!
the Riggers do all the work, and more than all the
honor of hiving troolin the kitchen. -

Amendments of the State Constitution..
The•voters of Pennsylvania should bear in
mind when they go to the polls at the elec
tion on the 13th inst., that the proposed
amendments to the State Constitution are to
he then voted ' . upon, and that they stand or
fall by that vote. Each voter 'should exam
ine them
,before he pes to the polls, and vote
understandingly. They are published in full
in one or more papers in every county within
the State, by the Seeretary of the Common
wealth, and also by the Sheriffs of the sev
eral counties, in their county proclamations. -
They have been agreed to by two successive
Legislatures, and only require to be ratified
by a vote of the peoPleito be engrafted upon
the State - Constitution. The amendments
are four in number, and . the vote will be cast
or or against each one separately.-
The Arai Amendment relates to the pub
lic debt, and proposes the following salutary
provisions :
,
L That the State debt 14 hall never exceed
$750,000, except in the casc'of war, invasion
or insurrection, 'or for the purpose of redeem
ing the present debt.
2. A sinking fund shall be pr.►yided suffi
cient to pay the interest on the existing State
debt, and to reduce the principal $250,000i.a
year.
3.. The credit of the Commonwealth shall
not in 'any manner be pledged or loaned, or
the Commonwealth become Stockholder -in
any corporatiOn.
4. The Commonwealth shall not assume
the debt of any county, city, borough or
township, or any -corporation, unless • the
Same was contracted by the State in time of
war.
• 5. No county, city, or muncipal corpora.
tion, shall become a stockholder in, or loan
its credit to, any company 'or corporation
whatever.
The Second Amendment provides against
the needless diiision of counties by prohibit
ing the erection of any new county contain
ing less than 400 square miles , and requiring
the express consent of the voters of the coun
ty, to authorize any division of such county
which shall cut off one tenth of its population.
The Third Amendment relates principally
to Philadelphia, and -proposes to amend' the
first article of the Constitution by striking
from its several sections the words of which
recognize the rnuncipal existence of - the old
of Philadelphia.
This amendment also pmpifts some cluing-
I es in the mode Ofapportioning the State Rep
resentatives, the most impkotant of which. is
that it will allow the city of Philadelphia
(and any city with taxable population suffi
cient for two reprasentsitives) to be divided
into single representative districti.
The Fourth Amendmerit
_proposes a new
isition to the Constitution , which the pow.
er of the Legislatiire to alter, revoke or re
peal any charter 'Of incorporation is express
ly declared.
This is tr mere outline of the proposed
amendments, - but in:Aden; we trust, to show
their importance, sod to induce our readers
to examine them carefully, so that they be
prepared to vote' Ulm them with an intelli
gent understanding of their nature and hear
ing upon our present ilindamental law.

" Slavery existed at that period, and still

confederation of sovereign States acquire a
new Territory at the exposure of their corn

"This legislation is founded upon princi

in accordance with them, has simply declared
that the people of a - Territory, like those of a
State, shall decide for themselves whether
Slavery shall or shall not exist within. their
"The Nebraska-Kansas act does no more
than give the force of law to this.clementary
principle of self-government, declaring it to
the true intent and meaning of this att
not to legislate Slarery into 'any Territory or
State, nor to exclude it therefrom,. hut to
leave the people theri , pf perfectly free to
form and regulate their domestic institutions
in their own way, subj,et. only to the Con

"This principle will surel y itot - be contro

Besidess, how rain' and illusory toouldy

the Territories . This is apparent from the
fact, admitted by all, that, after a Territory
shall have entered this Union, and become.a
State, no constitutional power would then ex
ist which could prevent it from either abol
ishingor establishing Slavery, as this case
may be, according' to its sovereign will alnd
pleasure."
Here is an inconsistency which we t ecom
mend to the attention of Administration jour
nals.—National Era.
STICKING TO PRINCIII.E.—The Benton Dem
ocrats of Missouri, have boldly endoned the
Free Soil party of Kansas. In'the very face
of the Institution of Slavery,they have assert
ed the cause of freedom. They have taken
ground in favor-of Emancipation in their own
State—and an a logitimritu consequence, they
are openly averseth the extension of Slavery
in the Territorie Tliey adhere to and tarty
,out their principles. .
The example . of Missouri Democrats is
worthy the imitation of Pennsylvania Demo
crats. While they are fighting against the
extension of Slavery, the leaders of „the de
mocracy of this State are afraid to compro
mise- themselves. They kno*.that. from the
foundation of:the enverninent, Pennsylvania
Democrats have been opposed to the propa
gation of - Slavery. Respect for the•riehts of
the States--tion,interference with Slavery
where it, exists—but stern and :uncompromis
ing opposition to its extension has marked
the career of the State from its infancy. Ev
ery page of our history shows this to be true.
Every law upon our statute book has been
based upon restricting the institutiqn
~to its
present limits. .61
.How' is it now Does the defilocracy
dare to avow its hostility to Slavery exten
sion ? Dare they stick to the principles
of their fathers ?" No—no ; far from it.—
The principles of the people have not changed;

herited from their, fathers, has not been erad-'

made to yield to 3 tacit acquiescence to the
will of the owners of slaves, who have stead
ily pursued their object until they have se
cured possession of the Government and
blotted Freedom •out of the Territories.—

Packer is busily engaged in following in ex
actly the 'same track, taking care to reach
every point jest a few days after Wilmot
has delivered his speech. This -looks like a
practical acknowledgment that General
Packer is afraid to, meet Mr. 'Wilmot in 'a

" We are becoming a 'nation of vain, ex

date we have imported foreign merchandise
to the value of one hundred and seventy-five
millions of dollars—about fourteen millions
more than our imports amounted to for the
sarne'tinie last year. The value of our ex
ports since January Ist is about fifty millions
of dollars less than our exports for the same
time last year. We'havo run into debt this

millions of dollars, and ..by the end of the
year our foreign debt 'Or imported goods
will be much larger."
The correspondent of the Si. Louis
Democrat writes concerning the late lansas
Convention as follows:—The adjournment
was a cut-and-dried ,ttfrar from the first. It
was well understood by the leadere of the
party, and was, only objected to by a few
delegates who came from distant parts.of the
country and were not posted. The ostensible
object of the adjournment was.to " allow the
business committee time to make reports."
The real objects of the adjournment-may be
briefly stated as follows :—lt is the intention
of the Convention to form an exceedingly
violent Pro-Slavery Constitution. . They well
know that, if such a Constitution as they pro
pose to adopt he made public at present, the
cause of National DetnocraCy in some of the
Northern States, where .elections are soon to
be held, wtll be very much damaged. They
also wish to do nothing which could deter
.the Free-State party from attempting a par
ticipation in the coming elections ; though
they will take very good care to prevent the
party from gaining anything therebY. 7 -
They also wish to be at home making prepa
rations for the coming Territorial election
the said preparations to consist of the forma-.
tion- of fraudulent returns, Stuffed ballot
boxes and Blue Lodges.
Mr" W s Buchatan's position in his recent
letter to Prof;Sillimah and others, that Sla
very exists in all the-territories .of the United
States under and by virtue df the American
constitution, has gh;en great delight to the
Ultra pro•slavery deinocrats of the,South.—
The Charleston Mercury is in ecstacies with
the avowal. it says that "Mr. Buchanan has
crossed the Rubicon, and proclaimed his. po
sition upon the radieril point of difference be
tween the North and the South." In other
worth, he occupies tsii:same ground that John
C. Calhoun.did : he nationalizes Slavery, and
,the South can do no more.
This is true. If the' ortly.rn 111 1 aocracy
shall stand up to this declaration of Mr. Bu-'
eh:man - it will be the most - importaa comes
e‘er• tins& to the South. • :Henceforth,
wherever the flag of the United 'States may
be parried, Slavery goes with it,find the whole
power of our. Army and Navy is to be held
in readiness to maintain and defend it. • •

our Government should be perverted to such
base uses 1
