.fWo: commend the two following articles
from Forney's Prss, to the careful peru
.balland consideration of the Monroe Dam-
.
ocnit,. which is conclusive Democratic evi-
idenco. of the utter, falsity of the assertions
imadc by that journal, in answer to "Soy
ereitin' in its lat week's isnue.
A Glance at the Held.
.Lccomi'ton is at a fearful discount
in
Pennsylvania. It will not pay one dime
io the dollar. It is being rejected by all
;tbe fihrewed fiolitioiaiu, even endorsed a
-it is by Cougrcss. Iu nearly every Con
gressional district in this State the Dem
ocrats aro either trying to get rid of the
whole record to bury it out of eight or
else arc bowing their Lecorupton Repre
sentatives into private life. In the Berk?
-'and Lehigh District Henry Chapman'.
yononjination is dciuandcd as essential to
'thesucccss of the party, owing to his iu
'dependent resistance of the Kansas policy
Tpf;a majority of Congrcs. In Chester
and Delaware, the champion of popular
novejrinty, John Hickman, is admitted
to be the only Democrat that can be elec
ted. In Montgomery and part of phila-
-dclphia, Owcu Jones is per tinnciouslj
begging for renomiuation, assisted by the
United fctatcs uiar.-hal of the Lvastern dis
tri-t, who is most shamefully prostituting
fhis office to help this double recreant into
Cong res.- for another term; but we hope
'that the Democrats of Montgomery will
reject this audacious appeal. In Berks
C lance y Joues is opposed by the very
flower of the Democracy, headed by the
English organ of the party. Even in the
Tenth Ltyion, Mr. W. fl.Diainiick is not
V-afe though backed by the reccollection
of an overwhelming majority. We hope
'to mc Coi. A. G. Brodhead, or General
"W Lilly, of Carbon, or Mr. Dreher, of
.l.onroe, running aaiu-t this faithless-
Representative. There i.- little hope for
Paul Leidy iu the Luzeruc district; little
for Uglily in the Franklin district; little
for Ahl in the Cumberland district, and
none at all for Gillis oC the Clarion, or
Dew art of the Schuylkill district. Mont
gomery has made his initial battle in the
AVest, having carried his nomination with
a ru?h. As to the Lecomptou tiiumvirate
from the city, if there is one out of the
three ent back, we shall be astonished
'""Behold the picture, gentlemen Lecomp-
tomtcs. Ponder upon it. Act upon it ;
arid re:uMiiber that the only sensible ac
tion is to withdraw your beaten horj-es
from the track, .and so save their distance
and their honor. -
The Cost of Leoomptonism to the Demo
.-: era tic Party.
- . Those who have road this journal since
it-- ituWi-hment on the 1st of August,
'J.So7; with even ordinary care, will read
ily recall our Gr.-t and i-ucceeding opin
iou on the ouetion of Kansas. Our con-
HstVucy cr our inconsistency may thus be
te.-ted, and the justice or the injustice of
the' several views we have expressed,
tjnjinlj considered.
r Taking no credit for extraordinary po
litieal foresight, claiming nothing for hav
ing .-tood steadily by that which we hon
estly conceived to be right, it would have
bejejj to us a most overwhelming disen
chantment had an original estimate of the
resii-tie-s power and rare sancity of
the. principle asserted, solemnly and
distinctly asserted, in 1850, aud as eol-rrculj-
sad distinctly abandoned in 1857,
been disappointed by the results. It had
beeu our curly care, prior to the publica
tion of the fir.-t number of The Press, to
tee that no harm came to this principle,
and that in goine.into its discussion we
t-hould proceed with all the lights before
and around us, Hence it was that not
one Avord has ever appeared in this ques
tjonjfy which we can be convicted either
of insincerity in the support of the right,
or of yielding for a moment to the wrong.
Passing over the thrice-told tale the
record of the manner In which the prin
ciple W3S laid down, the history of Gov
ernor Walker's relations to the Adminis
tration after his" appointment as Gov
ernor of Kansas, the sudden change ol
the Administration in the President's
message of December, 1807 we come to
the period immediately preceding the 4th
of March, 1858, when the Pennsylvania
Democratic Convention asseabled at llar
risburg. It will be recollected that, io
advance of the Philadelphia Democratic
Convention, we most respectfully admon
ished the delegates of that Democracy a
go'mst taking the fatal step of endorsing
the surrender of the Cincinnati Platform.
Ve assured them that any 6uch step would
cover the Democratic party with defeat ;
that not only would such a policy, if car
ried out, defeat the Democratic party in
the city, but iu the State not only in the
State, but in the Union; and that it was
impossible for any party to staud up a
gainst any such endorsement in the face
of a well-disciplined and experienced op
position, ready to take advantage of all
our own short-comiugs, and to remind us
of ten thousand promises. But repeated
warnings were neglected by the little lea-
idefs.fWbo managed by means of patron-
ttgeJLo obtaiu possession of the Conven
tion.' Resolutions were declared to have
4passcd iu favor of Lecompt'jnism. The
.Washington Union gloried ovor this en
dorsement, and every pensioned press
from Maine to Georgia held it forth as
an evideuce that the Democratic party of
I Philadelphia had gladly: agreed to give
up "a solemn declaration in favor of an
Jmrnutable principle. This journal, Tub
lliRESS, was of course rebuked. and pros
l!ra?e5 1 "The State Conventibnassembled
.ikortly after. A baud of true add tried
men went to Harrisburg for the purpose
of protecting against the threatened con
secration of Leoomptonism there. A horde
of sycophants and servile, office holders
and office-huntcraswarmed there loo; aud
after. a gallant struggle, memorable in
party.anoals, aperies of resolutions was
carried over the heads of a resisting and
iutrepid minority, aud so the foul work
was again ratified and affirmed.
So much for the seed sown in Pennsyl
vania. So much for the admonitions of
Tue P.kess. The harvest soon came;
and what a harvest it was! Bickering
and bad blood appeared in every county
iu the Commonwealth. Disfens-ions were
carried into every State in the North. The
Democratic party were beaten in every e
lcction that took place in the free States,
aud the last result was the defeat of that
.great party in the city of Philadelphia
by an overwhelming majority. The proph
ecy made in these columns has been ap
pallingly fulfilled.
But did the unfortunate results rcfercd
to induce the advocates of Leoomptonism
to pause in their mad career 7 On the
contrary, Northern Representatives, with
the protests of hundreds of thousands of
Democrats ringing in their ears, stub
bornly insisted upon supporting that mon
strous proposition. And now a new scene
in the drama is about to be enacted, and
tho people are called upon unresistingly
to assist in and shout over it perform
ance. The men who forced Lccompton
through Congress the men who insulted
the publie sentiment tho men who de
serted the pledges of 1856, who applaud
ed the proscription of the champions, tried
and true, of that principle; these men now
call upon the masses of the Northern Dem
ocracy to re elect them to the next Congrers,
and thus to seal, by a popular decree Ute
gravest act oj political turpitude qndtreaclh
cry to be found in political annals !
But, in the name of a great party, we
say No to tho demand. We assert that
enough has been lost for this dishonoring
example. Wo declare that a sufficiency
of sacrifice has been made in the name of
a despotic doctrine. We insist that those
who have attempted, and who have failed
in the attempt, to commit the Democratic
party to this doctrine, should stand back
and allow other men men trusted and
tried, who know the wishes of the people
and respect them too to take the nomi
nations for the national councils; for if
this is not dono, hundreds of innocent
Democrats must fall in the effort to ele
vate the guilty. In this State, every Dem
ocratic member of Congress but three has
demoralized himself by voting for Lecoinp
tonism in one or another of its shameless
disguises. We ask, in all candor, wheth
er these men are to be put upon Demo
cratic tickets, like so many dead weights,
to carry down others upon those tickets
who had nothing to do with the sacrifice
and the surrender !
For here is the practical qucttion, after
all. Lccomptonism is not a virtue, but
lie it i not a principle, but a here.-y
it is not even a decent expedient, hot an
incarnate and festering corruption.
has no vitality in it, like the principle o
tho Kansas and Nebraska act, which
when we fell for it in 1&54, by its clasti
city and its power, shortly after rescued
those who had stood by it. and restored
the Democracy to the power which they
bad temporarily lost.
To vote to nominnte those who suppor
ted Lecompton is, then, to endorse all this
wrong, this falsehood, this surrender, thi
party stultification; and we deny that we
are called upon by any act of gratitude, or
of policy, to do any such thing. In every
county in Pennsylvania there are members
of the Legislature and county officers to be
chosen at the October election. Shall the
hundreds of men interested in these elec
tions be sacrificed to gratify the base am
bition of those men who demand that they
xball be endorsed and applauded for their
votes upon Leoomptonism ? Again we
say No; and therefore it is apart from
the principle of the thing, apart from the
chastisement which every advocato o
Lecompton deserves at the hands of tho
people he has betrayed that to save the
organization of the Democratic party and
to rescue from defeat innocent men the
members of Congress from Pennsylvania
who deserted tho Cincinnati platform o
1856 should be quietly withdrawn, and
left;to obscurity and penitence until their
offence has been, forgotten and forgiven.
His Head off
Some two or three weeks ago, a Mr
Michael Cochran, at the instance of Mr.
Dowart, the M. C, from that district, who
was converted to Lecompton by the tears
of Mr. liuchanan, was appointed Post
master in the city of Pottsville. Before
the Senate could act upon his nomination,
Mr. Cohnran was so unfortunate as to be
called upon to preside at a Democratic
meeting, at which resolves were made
giving the cold hboulder to Lecomptou.
This fact was hastily communicated to
Washington, and before you could say
"Jack Robinson," Mr. Cochran's official
head was taken off close by his shoulders
and thrown away among the similar tro
phies acquired by Mr. Buchanan in th
few months past. The thing was dono so
nkillfully that Mr C, nor none of his
friends suspected his decapitation, until
Mr. Acker, walked into the Post office
one fine morning, and communicated the
fact. It served Mr. C. right, for what
bu-iness has a democratic office holder to
hesitate in following the Prosident where
evcr he may lead.

FOR THE JEFFERSON IAN.
Mr. Editor : The last number of th
Monroe Democrat contains an Editoria
in answer to my recent communication in
the Jeffersonian relative to our next mem
bcr of Congress. I am not going to al
lude to all the nonsense of the Editor
nnly to a few of his assertions, namely
"Wm. H. Dimmick, our worthy and
truo Representative' was elected to sup
port and assist in carrying out Democrat
ic measures. 1 hat duty be has laitulul
ly performed.
Wm. H. Dimmick publicly pledged
himself before tho people of the Tent
Legion, in 1856, in favor of the Demo
cratio rallying cry "Popular Sovereign
ty." He voted" in Congress for the Lo
compton Constitution, in open violation
of bis most solemn pledges. This is tb
way he has "faithfully performed" his
duty I
The Democrat, then gives a long yarn
about Washington, Jefferson, Madison
Monroe and Jackson, just as if these
great and good men would, if liv
ing, support the present Administration
which is now at work reducing the wages
of labor to the .Buchanan standard about
10 cents a dayl The country is, says'the
Democrat "the most blessed under th
sun," and intimates that it has been mad
so bv Pierce and Buchanan. That is de
0
cidedly rich ! A blessed country this !
Let tho laboring men, the manufacturers
the farmers and the business men every
where answer how they like this blessed
Buchanan system which has closed ou
workshops and our mines, and turned
thousands of honest laborers out of eni
nlovmentf It mav be that the sif
r j w
ted Editor of tho Democrat, who is "bless
ed" with an office under Buchanan, finds
this administration quite a desirable one
but I do not believe that those who are
reduced to poverty by these Buchanan
times will all agrco with the Editor tha
with such an administration this is the
"most blessed country under the sun."
The Editor says further, "that it is no
to be denied that a hostile temper ttil
exists" among democrats, Howards th
policy pursued by the National Admiuis
tration." Thi, I think, is a very indis
creet admission, as it can hardly fail to
lead his readers to enquire into the cause
of this "hostile temper,'' and those who
do enquire must see that it is because
Mr. Buchanan has openly violated all hi
solemn pledges of 1856, and suffered him
self to become tho mere tool of the cotton
aristocracy of the South, who pronounce
the laborers of the North "mud sills" and
an "ignorant rabble." Thus to betray
democratic principles has disgusted thou
sands of democrats, and if I am uot great
ly mistaken, Wm. II. Jdmiuick, will find
the number even iu the Tenth Lonion un
comfortably large.
But to show that it is not principle
but only 2)a,tl 2)0clJ and office our lead
ing Buchanan Democrats are after, I wil
give another extract from the Democrat
"If those disaffected persist in tho an
tagonism they will not long be regarded
as representing the demrcratic organiza
tion. Their claims will be repudiated.
Democrats who array themselves agains;
the policy of the Democratic organization
cannot claim the support of the party."
It will be seen that not a word is said
in defense of Democratic priiiciplcs, but
only for the party and its policy, which
means its only aim to enjoy office. Of course,
the Editor,being dependent upon theparty
for the office he bolds,must defend the par
ty without regard to principle. It is not
an independent Editor who thu3 writes
and print, but a Buchanan Post-Master,
who himself even denounced the great
outrage the Lecompton Constitution as a
swindle, but who the next succeeding week
wa forced to obey orders from, Washington
and slave like, became a defender of the
Lecompton faith. Had he hesitated, he
would not uow be a Democratic Editorawr
Post-Master, but only an Editor 1
The Democrat, or rather the Editor
says he has "an intimate personal ac
quaintance" with all the gentlemen nam.
ed in my communication, as candidates
for .Congress, and ventures to say "that
not one of them would accept" an Anti-
Lccompton nomination.
Now, I do not know whether any of
them would or would not accept, as
have consulted none, and only submitted
my ideas for general consideration. But
that some of them at least are decided
Anti-Lecompton men, and will oppose the
election that confirmed dough-face, Wm.
H. Dimmick, I am certain, nor will the
Post Master Editor of Stroudsburg deny
it.
I have already written more than I in
tended to write this warm weather, and
therefore drop the subject, preferring to

Ereaks of Lightning.
During the. heavy thunder shower of
Sunday evening last, two bouses in La
fayette Park Were struck by lightning.
The one was occupied by And row Dhler,
the other by Mr. Samuel Fry, and both
buildings stood within twenty feet of each
other. The fluid struck the chimneys of
both houses, scattering the brick iu every
direction, tore up the slate with which the
.buildings were covered and made good
openings in the roof of each, then ran a
long the water spouts into tho cisterns.
As the families of Messrs. Fry and Uhler
were in their houses at tho time it is re
markable that no one was injured. Ou
Mr. Fry's side a small paper box con
taining a quantity of nails stood ou the
pump near the tin pipe. Tho fluid made
a hole through this box and twisted and
melted a number of the nails. Mr. Fry's
son was standing close by the pump and
roceived a severe shook but was more
frishtcned than hurt. Two children of
Mr. Thornton and a young woman, the
daughter of Michael Fry, who lives near
Mr. Uhler was knocked down by the
stroke. Easton Argus.
Land Warrants.
An important change is made in this
description of property, by the act of
Congress of June 3d, 1858. Thoy were
formerly held as real estate, and convey
ed after forms and 1 methods prescribed
for real estate; but, as this act converts
them into personal chattels, and makes
them subject in conveyance, assignment,
ke , tfi the laws governing personal prop
erty. In the event of the deoth of the
claimant, prior to the issuing of the war
rant, this act also provides lhat the title
to the warrant shall then vest in the wid
ow, if one is left, and, if not, then it shall
descend as other personal chattels to the
other heirs or legatees.
Polygamy to be Tolerated.
"Old Mr. Buchanan," in his proclama
tion to the Mormons, uses the following
language:
"Do not deceive yourselves nor try to
mislead others by propagating the idea
that this is a crusade against your religion
The Constitution and laws of this country
can take no notice of your creed, whether
it be true or fale. Ihat is a question
between your God and yourselves, in
which I disclaim all right to interfere
If you obey tae laics, keep the peace, and
respect the just rights of others, you will
be perfectly secure, and viay lice on in
your present faith, or change it for anoth
er at your pleasure. Every intelligent
man among you kuows very well that, this
government has -never, directly or indirect-
ly, sought to molest you iu your worship,
to control you in your ecclesiastical af
fairs, or even to iufiuence you in your re
ligious opinions."
As Polygamy is a part of the Mormon
religion, this is equivalent to saying that
it is not only to be tolerated but protected
by the national government. lhus'Po
lygamy aud Slavery, those twin relics o
barbarism," are to be hu''ed to the bo
som of Democracy and be made a part o
the party platform; but then, the demo
cratic party can swallow any thine, and
why not Polygamy as well as Slavery
