The affairs of the late firm of McColluni
Gerritson having been this day amicably ar
ranged; I deem it due to bath parties as well
as to the public, that I should explain my
reasons - for publishing the "special notice"
which has stood ati the head - of the Democrat
since April last. An arrangement was
agreed upon by which., Mr. McCollum was
to have sole right to collect the subscription
accounts of the late firm, and in anticipation
of The completion of slid arrangement, .the
notice 'of dissolution was published, but such
arrangement not hiving been fully and satis
factorily made, I found it necessary to, in
form the patrons of the paper of thefact, in
order to prevent further collection, until the
matter was finally settled. The "special
notice" therefore was not intended to charge
Mr. McCollum with fraud or falsehood, Os
some may have supposed) but to effect the
purpose above named. A. J. GERRITSON.

demoting to influence Beet voters &shirebe
come- satisfied with the filly add untruthful
ness of this scream i ng about slavery, with the
pulsed Charges against our'worthy Piesi
dent. Mr. Grow is now running about this
section of the State repeating again and a
gain, his old, -false and noideoslial twaddla
about the oegroes Of the Sotithern States,
interlarding it occasionally with wilfully
false 'charge that Mr. Bnehimitir'S Adminisira.
tion;has recklessly and „unnecessarily-squand
ered the public money.•'; From all we have
learned . , be,—nor any oflis fellow falsifiers
—does dot attempt tQ specify when or where
a dollar has been spent, in an improper„ man=
uer. The. charges , are loose, .indefinite s auch
sonny boy can make, but:whichf no' one can
prove. To attempt to do, this, would be to
convict themselves of moral” petjuiy,..
must be remembered, that the expenses of list
year were sanctioned. by,, the last gongress,
with Black Republiaan Spealei , Banki at the
head, Mr. Grow chairman of the territorial
committee, and a very large majority of the
opposition in the. popular branch. It would
be well for these gentry to explain to the
people how the money has been squandered,
before charging it upon the President.
There is ono item of greatly increased ex
penses, which Jdr. GrOw sad .othsta, ought to
say something about. The pay of Congress,
men used to be eight dollars per day. In
stead of this,tbe members have recently voted
themselves the sum of Six thousand dollars
for each term of two years. For, the coming
short session, each Member-would have drawn
under the old-rate about eight hundred &l
iars, but under the new' spoilage bill, each
will draw from the treasury three thousand
dollars—nearly four times . , as much as before,
or $3O 00 per day. Counting this at year
ly average, each 'Member gets' $lO ,per day
for doing nothing—most of the time. It
would be well for Mr. Grow to cite as an
instance of money thrown away, that ha is
getting. $lO for every day that he'goes about
the country telling big and little' stories to
terrify old women and children. This extra
vagance ho cannot charge upon the President,
for the Members vote their own pay. But
Mr. Grosi may say that he did not vote for
the increase of pay. Perhaps not. There
were•a number of Members whir did not - vote
for the increase, wbo favored• it. The thin
was managed in this way : -All such as ... did
not wish or expect to return; or who had no
fears of being called to account Art home,were
to rote for more pay ; while come of those
Who dared not run the risk, were to vote a
gainst it, but iv was carefully ascertained be
forehand that enaugh want to vote. "aye!' to
pass the bill. "
If Mr. Grow thinks too much money is
spent, let him s(t the example by refunding
to the public treasury the surplus amount
66MPT I C' 1 111Se' l. to take advantage of the
"spoilage" act, and thus prove the sincerity of
his complaints about extravagance. _
CHOICE OF PRE.II/I:llS.—We have once be
fore called attention to the oft of a butter
knife as a premium to the young lady, under
18 years of age, who should present the best
butter, of her own make, at the coming Fair.
Desiring to stimulatethe competition in so
noble an enterprise, we took occasion, a short
time since, ,to.call the attention of a‘ young
lady of our acquaintance to the subject, and
suggested that she , would, do well to enter
the list of competitors. She frankly'responded
that she was "over 18," and added that she
would prefer competing for the nest named
premium on the list. Having a curiosity to
learn her choice, we glanced at the list and
read—" For the largest quantity of butter,
&c., Country Gentleman !" 'We certainly
raised no objection to her preference, under
standing, of course, that she dit not mean a
country dandy. So our young farmerslirho
attend the Fair must remember-that the
young ladies ate not all looking for butter
knives. They will also do well to notice the
competitors for , the butter knife, fora there 'is
no better test of housekeepiorqualifications
than butter-making. If this "department be
neatly and successfully managed; as a general
rule, it is safe to take therisk of all the °them,
while on the other band, a poor butter maker,
allowing she has proper conveniences provi
ded, is a questionable housekeeper.
We hope to see an.earnest competition in
butter-making among the "sweet hearts"'
and "is to bee of our County. Embroidery
stitchfrig and piano .strumming 'tyre far -be
-11;nd it,—although each is Well enough in its
place.
The recent completion of a direct and
unbroken railroad connection between this
' place and Philadelphia, naturally calls forth
the inqUiry,—ivhy may not our merchants go
there to purchase their goods; 'nitwid
of to New Torn I •There are no advant
ages of which ., the latter place can boast,
and we believe our business , men would do
well to_ visit the ;city of "Elrotherly_Love"
and inipect the quality and prices of goods
.before buying. If this subject be •carefully
examined, we believe the larger' Aare of the
trade of this region - will nitiinatelf go to
the former cijy.
If our Philadelphia business men consult
their,
,otru- interest, they will endeavoNtit
once to secure the bulk of our trade,-which
now goes to New,,York. That they may do
thie, there is no doubt, if the proper means•
be resorted to:. Of course, the most practical,.
and piiihsps the only way to do this is by .
advertising.; A few dollars spent in , this way
will doubtless result in bringing , them a large
awl, profitable patronage from this and ad
joining counties. We throw out the

COMET OF 1858.—This remarkable comet,

miles distant, and is rapidly approaching
the earth, an& already shows to a common

that during the - first week in October next
the comet will be cifthe most striking bright
ness, possibly, the largest of the century, and
at that time will• be iseect.near Arcturirs, per
haps even surpaising that brilliant. star in
splendor: It is new visible forabont tin hoar
after sunset, and an hour before sunrise, in a
line with the- two Mass called the pointers,
and fonning'nearly of right angle-between
these 'and Arcturus. It. is now seen at

TheMalue Electicin:
There is really. pore signiticance,and more
encouragement to the Democracy, in the re
saultsof the recent electictu in . Maine, thin
would' atlirst strike the eye; It is true that
our party has again been :defeated—that the,
Black Republican candidate for Governor has
been eledted by aboutt,ten ttionsand votes;
and that prObably thextspposition have carried
every member 'of Congress, as they did 'two
years ago, which is' no gain-to -them. Sall,
when we contrast these results with the -re.
sults 'there when the Fremont tempest swept
over the Northern States,hive we nut a right
to presume that even in the near future,Matne
will 'again assume her position - in the column
of National Democratic States
On consulting our files we find that the
majority for Frcinont reached the astounding
figure - Of thirty 'Mot/sand. , Here Ilien; pre

we have an orpositien loss,and a Democratic

In fact, in taking - the political horoscope
of the country, so far as . the elections this
summer and fall will n able us to do, we set,
no cause for Democrats to de-pair, but every
thing to insure hope and confidence. The
Intense sectional fanaticism thus culminated
in the extraordinary vote . given to Fremont
in the Northern Slates, itnd more especially
in New England, is rapidly dying out; and
we should not be surprised if it should find
its grave in the very spot of its birth..• In

New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Indiana and Illt
