THURSDAY, OCTOBER 7, 1858.
2f Tbe canvass is rapidly drawing to
a close. This issue will be tbe last bc
foro the election, and we therefore must
enjoin upon tbe voters of tLis county, tbe
importance of givingtbeiralteutionfor one
day, to the important matter of selecting
good officers. This is a duty that eve
ry freeman tbould consider especially en
joined upon him. This matter has per
haps never been of more importance than
at the present time. We have first
judge of the Supreme Court to elect.-
John M. Read, of Philadelphia, is tho
People's candidate for that office. Mr
Read is a man of unblemished character,
and of Euncrior leral attainment. He is
qualified in the highest degree to fill and
adorn that important station. Mr. Por
ter, also of Philadelphia, is Mr. Read's
opponent. He is a man of but quite or
dinary legal attainment, and beside that,
he is tho candidate of the Lecompton De
mocracy, who tried io force Kansas into
the Union a Slave State, and is therefore
not worthy the support of freemen. Mr
Frazcr, of Fayette County, is the Peo
ple's candidate for Canal Commissioner,
and he is in every respect qualified to
discharge the duties of that office.
Next is the importaut matter of Congress
man. There are two Democratic candidates
in the field. Dimmick is put forward by
the Lecompton Democracy as their man.
It will be remembered by ail, that Win.
II. Dimmick was elected to Congress in
1356, and firmly pledged to support that
cardinal measure of the Democratic par
ty, Popular Sovereignty. Popular sov
ereignty gives the people of -.the Territo
ries the right to regulate their institution?
in their own way to have slavery or not.
Soon after Dimmick took his scat in Con
gress the Lecompton constitution came
up for their action. The Lecompton con
stitution entirely nullified popular Eover-j
eignty. ' It went dead shot against it,
and deprived the people of all right to
say what kind of institutions they would
have, and provided to compel them to
come into the Union a Slave State. This
measure received Mr. Dimmick's undivi
ded support. It will be seen that he
bus broken his pledges, and has
therefore no claim on consistent Demo
crats, and much less on U3. He has
shown himelf to be weak and entirely
unworthy of confidence. The Democracy
that adhere to Popular sovereignty, or
claim that the people of tho Territories
have the right to make their own laws,
or to have slavery or not, have presented
Du. David K. Shoemaker, of Carbon
County, who strongiy sticks to the doc
Jtrinc of Popular Sovereignty, and de
clares in common with that Democracy,
which have not deserted the princip'e of
Popular Sovereignty, that the people of
the Territories have tho whole right to
have slavery or not, as they see proper.
The Doctor is a man of the best private
character, splendid education,sound sense,
a very gentlemanly man, and is of the
ttrictest integrity and honesty. He is no
truckling politician, and comes from a
uiong the people and knows just wha
their wants are. He is very-popular with
his acquaintances, and none know him
but to respect and esteem him. He is
qualified to make an excellent Congress
man, aod altboughihe is a Democrat, we
under the circumstances would recom
mend him to all men who hate treachery
and vacillation, and admiro honesty, in
telligeuce and true worth, as being in ov
ery respect worthy of your warmest sup
port.
The Kansas battle is not yet over, and
in a short time it will be baok in Congress
to be faught over again. The passage o
the English Lecompton bill has thrown
the whole question open again. Hence
ihe necessity of a man representing us
who will regard tho wishes of the peopl
of Kansas, and vote for their admission
when they apply. Dimmick is bound to
be controlled by the provisions of th
English Lecompton bill, which declares
fhat they shall not come into tho Union a
free State, until they have enough iuhab
itants to entitle them to a representative
in Congress, which is upwards of 93,000,
although they offered to reward them
with liberal land grants, if they would
make Kansas a Slave State when they
bad only dS.UOO inhabitants.
Voters do your whole duty, on" the 12fch
of October, and that will teach such weak
and treacherous mea as Dimmick, hero
alter to do their duty.
An improvement in the Delaware,
Lackawanna & Wostern RajJrpad line to
Philadelphia, will be noticed by referring
to-the corrected advertisement in to-day's
paper. Passengers change ears at Judc
tioD and go all the way by Railroad, a-v-oWing
tbe staging to Relvidere..
Tho performances in Sands, Na
thans & Co's Circus, wbioh exhibited here
last Monday, were very creditable, particu
larly thoso of the trained elephants, who
displayed a degree of intelligence aod
agility, wo never before witnessid. Tbe
lar"C tent was filled in the afternoon and
t3
evening with a crowd of spectators vari
ously estimated at from twenty-fivo hun
drcd to four thousand in number.
As uual on such occasions, many am
bitious youths (and some old ones) enter
cd so enthusiastically into tho spirit of the
day and night, that they got exceeding
ly comfortable by 10 o'clock, and amply
prepared to vindicate, the honor of the
country in general, and of Stroudsburg
in particular. A quarrel, which origin
ated at tho Washington Hotel, ended in
a stabbing affray at Trach's. One of the
showmen was badly stabbed three times;
one wound in the abdomen being consid
ed quite dangerous- Swollen heads and
black eyes are very abundant, and on the
whole " It was quite a show." So says
Young America.
esT" We would call partioular attention
to the advertisement in another column,
headed "Stroudsburc Academy." We
know the Teachers to be peculiarly qual
ified for tho position that they hold, and
we know that every attention will bo paid
to pupils corsmiltod to their charge. The
terms too, are exceedingly moderate, and
we trust that the parents of this Borough
and County, will encourage and sustain
the Teachers with a very liberal share of
patronage.
K?We had the honor of a visit last
week from Dr. David K. Shoemaker tbe
' Independent, anti-Lecompton, Tariff
candidate for Congress" in this District.
He is rather a good looking man, about
38 or 40 years of age. He took us to
task for calling him, "a sort of Quack
Doctor" in our notice of his nomination
for Cougrcos in last week'8 Argus, and
pronounced as a lie our absertion that ho
had voted for Lremont in 1850. We
have not tbe least desire to injure the pro
fessional standing of the Doctor, and we
give him the benefit of his denial as re
gards the charge of bis having supported
hremont. Several gentlemen, of his ac
quaintance, in whose judgment and word
wo place full faith, assure us that Doctor!
S. is reallv an excollent Physician and
a regular graduate of the Pennsylvania
College. Oue gentleman, (an old resi
dent of Carbon county,) says he "prac
tised five or six years iu his family and
stands A No. 1, in his profession." We
therefore cheerfully make the amende
honorable and hope the Doctor will bo
blessed with any quantity of good paying
patients. EasLon Argus.
EST We have been requested to state,
that Dr. Shoemaker is a regular gradu
ate of tho "University of Pennsylvania"
and not of the " Pennsylvania College",
as stated above, by the editor of the Eas
ton Argus. There is a vast difference
between those Institutions. The Penn
sylvania College is but a second-rate af
fair, whereas the University of Pennsyl
vania is one of the first institutions in tbe
State.
The Contest in the Tenth Legion.
From all parts of this district we re
ceive tho mot encouraging letters ami
accounts in regard to the prospeets of Dr.
D. K. Shoemaker, the anti-Lecompton
candidate for Congress. We are assured
his chances for beating William II. Dim
mick are decidedly good and improving
each day.
The Doctor is said to bo a man of
strong aud vigorous intellect and fine ed
ucation; honest, fearless, and independ
ent; neither afraid to say what ho means
nor what he promises. He is a sound and
reliable Democrat-, believes in the doc
trine of popular sovereignly, and. holds
to the great idea of the Cincinnati plat
form, that tho people of the Territories
have the inherent right to decide upon
their own Constitutions and settle all lo-
oal questions in their own way.
He also believes in the doctrino of pro
tcction to American industry. Dr. Shoe
maker is no office-seeker, no politician,
but trcsh Irom tho people, and was en
tirely willing, to support any cood anti
Lecompton Democrat against that prince
of doughfaces, Wm. H. Dimmick, who
has falsified his most solemn pledges upon
this great question of constitutional lib
erty; and he has only become a candidate
at tbe instance of many of his warm per
sonal friends.
From the accounts of several meeting
which he has addressed, we are gratified
to see that numbers of good anti-Lecompton
Democrats are taking bold of his
cause. It gives us much pleasure, to no
tice that S. S. Dreher, E-q., Dr. Wilson,
Caleb Yohe, Mr. Brodhead, of the Dela
ware Water Gap, aud numbers of others,
have taken a decided and opon stand for
him. This is as it should bo. Ho can,
and we hope may, be elected. We trust
tbat the friends of Doualas Walker
Hickman, Ilaskin, &c, in this district,
wm ao meir enure duty, and thus vindi
cate the great principle of popular snuer.

replied, that we were not at all in favor
of tho extension of Slavery; but that we
were in favor of letting the peoplo of
each lerntory decide for themselves,
whether they would havo slavery or not.
If they desired it, we held that they had

Territories of the richt to say what kind
of institutions they would have, and com-
polled them to have slavery. This
you
discover was a bold and high banded at-
temp to pervert tbe great principle of
Democratio government. jNotwithstand
ing Buchanan, supported by such miser
able dough-faces as Dimmick, made ev

Constitution, it did not receive a majorr

failed to become a law.

Mr. Editor : Since writing my last,
I have been highly gratified to find the
great number of old line Demoorats that
are giving their undivided support to the
Independent Democratio candidate for
Congrcsf, Dr. David K. Shoemaker.
We nearly in mass have resolved to teach
such traitors to their pledges as Win. H
Dimmick, that tbey cannot desert the old
laud marks of Democracy and still re
ceive our support. We are Democrats in
principle and intend to adhere to them,
let the Dimmick Democracy groan and
yell as they may, for we know that we
are consistent and right, and shall there
fore fight boldly on until tho battle is over
and won. Let the anti-Lecompton Dem
ocracy then expect to hear good news
from the Smithfields, and especially from
Middle-Smithfield. We havo received
the gratifying news that tho true Democ
racy are up and at work in the other end
of the County. Hamilton we understand
is getting ready to do a goood work for
Doctor Shoemaker, and the cause of
Democratic truth. Ross, Pocono, Polk,
Cbestnuthill, and indeed tho wholo west
end of the Couuty, aro getting ready to
cntertheir protest against such vacillating
dough-faces as Wm. H. Dimmick. Nor
can Price, Paradise, Coolbaugh, aud To
byhanna and Jackf-on, sanction such
treachery to pledges and principles a
Dimmick is guilty of, and many of the old
liners have resolved conseqecntly to sup
port that true old line Democrat, Doctor
Shoemaker. The Doctor is gaining
friends every day throughout tho county,
and our true Democratic friends may pre
pare to hear us report on the 12th of Oc
tober, favorably to the cause of Demo
cratio truth and consistency. Zimmick
has sacrificed all the claim he ever had
on tho -Democracy of this .Di-trict, by hi.
base desertion of his pledges, and his
cowardly and inconsistent support of that
tyrannical Lecompton measure. Those
.Democrats who give their .support to Dr
Shoemaker will have a clear record, but
those who vote for Dimmick will thereby
become parties to his base and cowardly
treachery.
Let us then, every one, take the nces
sary pains to get out every voter possible
for the independent democratic candidate
Doctor SnOEMAKER. Let each anti-Le
cornpton Democrat appoint himself a com
mittce of one to provide tickets for the
friends of Doctor Shoemaker, and to see
that they vote early aui devote the ret;
of the day to his cause. Come fellow
Democrats, let us go to work in earnes
from now till election day, and, by prop
er care and attention we will be enabled
to announce on the 12th of October, to
Demagogues and the supporters of treach-
ous men like Dimmick, that Monroe i-
still wedded to ner Democratic principles
and is not williug to sdcrifice them to
treachery and dishonesty, by voting for
that dough face ilimmiek. Come alto
gether then, and let us make one grand
pull for Doctor D. K. Shoemaker, the
Independent Democratic candidate for
Congress.

ADDRESS
of the
People's State Central Committee.
To the Freemen of the Stale of Fennsyl
vauia.-
It is one of the highest privileges of a
free people, that they have fequeut and
regular oportuuities to express at the bal
lot-box their approval -or disapproval o
the policy and measures of their Govern
ment. It was established by their will,
for their good, and should bo so adminis
tered as to pre;servc their liberty and se
cure tbeir happiness.
In a few days, you will be called upon
to exercise your elective right-, and in
performance of our duty, we deeiro toad
dress to you a few words in regard to the
present condition of public affair.", aud an
earnest entreaty that you will show your
just appreciation of them, by adimni-trr
ing a stern rebuke to thoso who, intoxi
catcd with the possession of power, have
basely neglected and betrayed the best
interests ot the country.
Tho course pursued by the National Ad
ministration in endeavoring to forco u
pon Kansas au obnoxious Contitution, a
jainst the known wishos of a largo ma
jority of her people, merits the condem
nation of all good citizens, and this feel
ing becomes indignation when we refleot
upon the unscrupulous and prescriptive
means employed to secure this unworthy
object of the Executive.
I hat the first President ever elected
from our own State should thin have ac
ted, id truly humiliating to every Penn-
sylvanian, but when his wholo Adminis
tration so far forget what is due to the
honesty aud integrity of the citizens of
this free Republic as to tolerate no free
dom of opinion, but to drivo from office
and exile from public station all who hon
estly differ from the Executive in scuti-
incut all who do not renounoo their man
hood, and beoomo the servilo tools of
power it exhibits a lovo of despotism,
anti attempts a tyranny that the people
of Peuhslvania do most earnestly con
demn, and will withcringly rebuke at the
polls on Tuesday next,"
Wo d osire to enter into no detail in ro.
gard to tho Lecompton iniquity, and its
unai prouuet, tho JUoghsh bill, which on
ables the President to postpone for vears
tho admission of Kansas as a free
State. Tho faots aro before tho world,
and upon those facts tho sober iudnmnnt
of Imtory will bo passed, affirming your
certain verdiot on the 2d Tuesday of Oc-
ouer.
galling, that the whole time and oeanf
of the Administration have been, ftD2
will be expended upon this unwise act!
wicked project, while the calls of suffer
ing industry ascending daily and hourlj
have been entirely unheeded by tho Ad
ministration at Washington. Our work
fhops aro closed, our factories deserted,
our mills silent, and our impoverished'
people arc pressed by the hard and gri
ping hand of want. This is but a faint
picture of our condition, and yet the Gov
ernment has neglected, and will sternly
refuse to provide the only truo remed jr,
that of protection to home labor, from a bitee7
desire to conciliate the favor of Southern
demagogues who wish to repeal all duties
on imports, and to levy the whole of otir
enormous expenditures on the lands and
property of the people by a direct tax.
The people demaud, and loug have de
manded, a Protective Tariff to foster do
mestic industry, and to encourage Amer
ican labor, but the National Administra
tion is deaf to their entreaty.
Shall we again endorse the candidates
and approve the policy of an Adminis-
tratiun so indifferent to our welfare and
?o reckless and extravagant in its dispo
sition of the public money. This prodi
gality alone brings down upon the Gov
eminent, tbe condemnation of an outraged
people. It can scarcely be credited, and'
yet tbe facts arc, as proven by themselves,
that tbey have by the most criminal;
wastefulness expended in the fiscal ycacr
ending 30th June, 1858, 92,330,49
Whil.-t the revenes independ
ent of loaua were only 46,557,565
Making an actual deficit of 845,772,692
Coutrni-t this with the expeuditure of
1852, which were $40,389,954. Here is
au increase of expenditure of more than
fifty millions of dollars in a time of peace,
during a period of wiJe-spread commer
cial disaster, when rigid economy is im-:
peratively required aud all our resourcesr
should be faithfully husbanded.
A sens-e of houor, of juttice, .and of
right requires us to repudiate- tbt untrut-:
worthy Administration, and to defeat its
candidate?, and show by our votes that
we disclaim all part aud lot with them.
We therefore entreat all true lovers of
their couutry throughout the Common
wealth to support and vote for the caudi?:
dates of tho People. They are honest,
competent and faithful they .-land upon,
the platform of popuIarVigbts, and of jut
protection to all. They denounce thcLe-.
compton Iuiquity and the infamous Eng
lish Bill, and will resi.vt Executive usur
pation?. They will assert the right of tho
people to the last to ordain their ownCon--stitution,
and the duty of the Government,
to afford fidl and adequate protection- loi
homclabo. They will earneatly contend
for a policy which shall be etable, and
thereby secure a prosperity that will be
safe
Yote, then, for the candidates of tho
People, place upon the Supreme Rencb
Johu M. Read, a man of known integrity
aud of tried capacity, in whose knowledge',
of tbe 1 aw, aud in whose sense of right
all men may coufide; send to the national
Congret-s, and to the State Legislature; '
men who will truly and ably represent
your real interests. We pray you each
and all, to realize your individual respon
sibility and tlfe importance of every vote.
Arouse to instant aud earnest action.
Employ every hone st effort. L-t every
man do hi3 whole duty, all will be well.
