BST" On lest Saturday evening, the
Douglas Democratic Club, which is com
posed respectively of Buchanan admirerc,
and Breckinridge and Douglas lovers,
met in the Court House, and was address
ed by John F. Drinkhouse Eq., after
which Samuel S. Dreher offered a set of
resolutions declaring Douglaa to be the
regular nominee of the Democratic party,
and repudiating all idea of a union with
tho Brockenridge Seccders, except the
Breckenridge men unqualifiedly vote the
Douglas ticket. This seriously disturbed
the equinimity of the Buchanan admirers
and Breckinridge lovers, which brough
ont the "irrepressible nigger" in full har
ness. The Breokenridgo lovers deolarcd
boldly th&t Douglas could not get a sin
glo electoral rote without a fusion with
their favorite. Whereupon tho Dougla
lovera declared themselves in favor o
Douglos and no one else. The Brecken
ridges replied that this was all wrong,
and that they "wero ready to unite with
any body, and did'nt care a damn who
if they could only beat Old Abo." The
Resolutions were, nevertheless carried
by a pretty strong vote. There were 45
persons present, 15 of whom wereRepub
ican spectators.

Lincoln, Hamlin and Curtin Club
Pursuant to call, the friends of'Linooln,
Hamlin and Curtin mot at the Court
House, on Monday evening, tho 16th in-
stant,for thepurpose of organizing a Club,
and were called to order by the election
of JaoobL. Wiokoff, President, Wm. S
Wintemute and Dr. Sydenham Walton,
Vice Presidents, and J. Lanta, Secretary.
On motion, the President was instruc
ted to appoint tho following Committees :
On permanent offioors for tho Club :
Morris Evana, Davis D. Walton, Hen
ry C. Wolfe, Wm. Clements, J. Lantz.
Committee to procuro Room for use ot
the Club :
Charts Emery, Henry Shoemaker,
James McNeil, Reuben R. Cress, John
N. Stokes.
Wm Davia, Eq., was then loudly call
Led upon for a speech, to which ho respon
ded in a lengthy and well directed ad
dress, clearly Betting forth the issues be
tween the parties, and requested all
tr Rlfet whioh thev would serve. But
showed it to be clearly the duty of every
true patriot who desires the prosperity of
the country, and wishes to rebuko th
corrupt Federal Administration, to rally
to tho support of Lincoln, Hamlin and
Curtin.
He exposed tbo hypocrisy of the Read
ing State Convention, which put in nomi
nation Honry D. Foster, for Governor,
and nretends to present nits as a peace
i t
offering to the Anti-Lecomptonites, by
reading the following resolution adopted
at that Convention :
"Resolved, That vve regard the domestic
and foreign policy of President Buchan
an as eminently patriotic, pure, conserve
live and just; and we look upon the suc
cess which has crowned his labors as the
best and proudest vindication of ihepropri
ely and wisdom of his Adminutration."
Here is a clear and explicit endorse
ment of all the President's Kansas policy
without a single qualifying word, and,
therefore, all who vote for Foster are
compelled to vote in approbation of every
act of James Buchanan. Can anything
be more certain than that this is a glaring
piece of deception, intended to be palmed
off on the unsuspecting ones, who are op
posed to the present National Adminis
tration on principle ! Let those bo de
ceived who will be.
The meeting was more than twice as
large a any Club meeting held this year,
and much more enthusiastic. The meet
adjourned to meet in the Court House, on
nest Monday evening, the 23d inst., to
receive reports of Committees, and to per
fect the organization of the Club.

FOR THE JEFFERSONIAN.
Friend Schooh Although month
have passed since I have reported myself
alive, I ean assure that you and your rea-
ders are not forgotten. Smoo I last
wrote vou I havo passed through portions
of Missouri, Illinois, Indiana and New
York. Tho agricultural interest of those
seotioni are in tho main flattering. North
ern Missouri and central Illinois have suf
fered severely with drought this Spring,
still the prospects of Corn, potatoes and
fruit aro eood in those localities. In In
diana, Ohio, Western Pennsylvania and
New York, I have never seen a better
prospoct for a good harvest of grass and
grain than I find this season.
I find the political fields rattier mixed.
Republicans are generally spirited and
wido awake and feel the majesty of their
power, as well as appreciate union and har
mony of their principles. Tho selection
of A. Lincoln, as the standard bearer
givos general satisfaction, exoept to the
Demooraoy. They foel a great sympathy
for that distinguished statesman VV ra. H
Seward. The fact is, the publio, as well
as private life, of Lincoln has been, so
pure that he makes a poor target for our
enemies. Those democratic guns loaded
ready to blow up Seward and theRcpubli
can party, as abolitionists, oannot bi
brought to bear so admirably on tho nom
ince of the Chicago Convention; who, to
cut a long story short, is bound to be Vie
next President. As we never indulge n
making assertions without proof, wo cheer
fully submit the reasons.
1st The Republican principles, on th
principal issue, are the same- as those of
tho founders of our government. See Dec
laration of Independence, and the opin
ions of distinguished statesmen of that pe
riod.
2d Tho intelligent masses of the peo'
pic know these facts, and like the Fathers
'regard Liberty as the positive and Slavery
as the negative principle, in this govern
ment.
3d Modern Democracy is so corrupt
that it is destroying itself by its own cor
ruption, discord and disunion. 81500,
000 000 of slave property and a weak and
corrupt administration are antagonistic to
the popular sovereignty hobby and hum
bug of another faction.
4th Bell & Everitt have an influence
in the South, which will weaken materi
ally the two factions of the Democracy
in that quarter.
Lastly, when I take an impartial sur
vey of the political field, and know th&t
the Republicans have the strength to con
quoj an undivded rotten Demooraoy, bow
oasy and certain this will be dono since it
is shorn of its strength, by discord and
disunion.

FOR THE JEFFERSONIAN.
"Honest Abe of the "West."
Ye sons of the pilgrims politically blest,
Your leader is worthy " Honest Abe of the
west,"
Your banner is liberty then seek not for rest
Till you have elected Honest Abe of the west
While our opponents are fighting and feath
ering their nest,
We will march on to victory with Abe of the
west.
Let Slaveccrats threaten it increases our zest
We are bound to elect Honest Abe of the west
Steve's Popular Sovereignty is nought but a
pest,
Intervention and honesty is with Abe of the
west.
Breck & Lane have slavery their prominent
crest;
Intelligence and freedom is with Abe of the

With Union and truth our banner is dressed,
'Tis unfurled to the world by tall Abe of the
west,
He is the champion of freedom, a giant the
best,
The tallest of giants we have in the west.

fST'The city of Harrisburg, according
to the United States census, just taken,
has 14,862 inhabitants.
Dj-Tbe Hon. Henry D. Foster, Dem
ocratic oandidate for Governor, is in a
fair way of losing the confidence of both
wings of his party. He is said to enter
tain strong Douglas proclivities, which
renders him obnoxious to the Breckin
ridge men. He is further said to favor
the action of the majority of the State
Committee, in proposing that the Donglas
men ehould vote for the Breckenridge
'disunionists,' (as they are called,) on the
electoral ticket. Several of the leading
organs of the Douglas party take excep.
tion to tbis, and say that it will lose Fos
ter at least fifty thousand votes in the
State. The Press, in reference to Mr
Foster's course, says that "in a crisis like
"this, no double dealing and no equivoca
"silence will be supported by the Demo
"cratio masses."

? FOR THE JEFFEBSONIAN.
f" "A" Republican; Song.
Our fathers were a noble band,
And left for us a. happy land;
From British tyranny set free,
They paved the way to liberty.
CHORUS
, For we've a; man for freedom hails
Who once was good at mauling rails;
' He'll maul the spoilsmen with delight,
Then beat and scoop 'em all outright.
Such patriots for freedom hail,
We're bound their enemies to "flail ;"
They "lamb'd" the British with delight,
And put their army all to flight.
Now Southern tyrants curse and sw.ear,
Our glorious fabric down they'll tear;
Disunion has become their cry,
To 'irule and ruin" ere they die.
Four years ago they chose a man
To carry out their hellish plan.
Jimmy's misrule will soon be o'er,
And of his like we'll have no more.
He told the Judges to declare
That slavery should go everywhere
To let the Northern people know
They'd "crush out Freedom" at a blow
Old Roger Taney did decide
That Fjedom should be T'set aside,"
And all our fair and lovely land
Should yield to Slavery's demand.
Then let us say to one and all :
Just vole for Honest Abe this Fall ;
With him we cannot but prevail,
With him; there's no such word as fail.

J6-Wben Mr. Wm. Dimmigk, fomo
weekscgo, pronounced in favor Mr. Doug
las as the presidential oandidate of th
flham democracy, bis pronunoiamcnto was
r nnnl o nn re
Uh marked disfavor dv nis
leading co-partisans in this congressiona
district. Some of the newspapers criti
cised his performance pretty sharply.
. . All
The event has proved hi sagaoity. ai
the iouruals of bn party in Northampton
county, except the Baslon Sentinel espouse
the oauBC of Douglas. JUven tbe Jirgus
which is conducted by tbe post-master, is
in this category. In Monroe county, th
Democrat, edited by the poet-mas-ter
coos tho same way. In Pike county, the
Herald, which has carried the Brecken
rwl flatr for soveral months, hauls it
down, and gives intimations that tho cur
rent of opinion is bo strong the other way
that it cannot adhere to its favorite. In
flnrhnn countv the Democrat was for
Douglaf, but has been bought out by
Hon. Asa Packer and his set and
Breckenridge editor for it imported from
Philadelphia. In Wayne county, Mr
Beardslee does not exactly know what to
do. He went to Baltimore as a curb
stone delegate, fierce against Douglas and
clamorous. for Dickinson. He is really
the post-master of tbis borough, though
Mr. Isaiah Sayder holds tho commission
for him. Tbe arrangement was a dodge
to make Mr. Beardslee technically eligi
ble to a seat in the Legislature, tbo Con
stitution providing that no man who holds
an office under the general govcrnmen
hhall hold one under the State. It was a
plfable conscience that could.be satisfied
with such a dodge; but let that pass.
He is now anxious for an amalgama
tion electoral ticket a mingling of block
and white a hybrid a mulatto where
by he may be able to eave at onco bis ba
con and hie pride. Ho gives token, nev
ertheless, of supporting Douglas in case
his amalgamation dodge doos not prevail
Beardslee in tho same bed with l'orney
The German paper of this county, which
Beardslee owns and controls, though
flotaewbat under cover for a sinister pur
pose that gentleman much preferring
crooked ways to straight ones declared
for Douglas immediately alter he was
nominated.
Mr. Richard Brodhead, who was stout
ly opposed to Douglas at Charleston and
Baltimore, and is radically hostile to him
in principle, going bcartly for tbe most
exorbitant demands of tho fire-eaters,
feels constrained to give in. Ho says
that as ho did not secede at Baltimore, he
feels bound to sustain Douglas.
In both wings ot tne party, among
county politicians, there is a very genera
desire for some arrangement of the prcsi
dential question which shall avoid liabili
ty to collision on local candidates. Tbis
is the vaunted "banner district' of tbe
sham domocraoy, and the leaders do not
like to peril their ascendancy by being
particularly nice in matters of principles.
Suoccsb first and principles afterwards, is
tbeir motto.
Mr. Brodhead wants to be restored to
his scat in tho House of Representatives
at Washington. He has a liking for tbe
society of tho national capital, and has
been in publio life so long that existence
in retirement is ppecially dull and insipid
to him. Personally he is a most pleas
ant and estimable gentleman. Political
ly he is whatever the extremest of tbo
South may desire him to be. His chances
are reported to he brightoninc. A while
ago it was thought that Mr. John Davis
of Easton would be tbo fortunate individ
ual, but his light is diminishing. How
any man who holds to the peculiardogmas
which just now give Mr. Douglas his pop
ularity and power, can voto for Mr.
Brodhead, is what we cannot determine.
Tbe two men are as completely antago
nistic as it is possible for two individuals
in tbe communion of the sham demooraoy
to be.
In tbis Senatorial distriet. there is. to
draw it mild, a gentlo contest going n
for the benatorship. Pike claims the
honor, and Wayne claims it, Tbe case
stands thus: When tbe present distriet
was formed Wayne had tbe Senator in tbe
person of Mr. Hamlin. Then Monroe
had him in the person of Mr. Walton.
And finally Carbon bad him in the ner-
son of Mr. Craig. Now Wayne claims
himas a matter of right. This claim
Pike disputes, pleading that she has not
had the honor at all while each of the
othor counties have. To this it is answer-
ed that Wayne and Carbon each e onsti-
tuto a representative district, wnne Mon
roe and Pike are combined to constitute
one; that each of tho three representative
districts havo had the Senator in rotation;
and that when Wayne baa again had him,
it wilf'bo in order for Pike to tako her
urn, and then to pass over Monroe to
Carbon. Pike rejoins that she and Mon
roe furnish the political capital which es-
tablishos the character or tne aiatnot, sna
are therefore entitled to peculiar consid
eration.
It ia said that Monroe and Carbon fa-

In case the pretensions of Wayne shall

From The Herald.
"There are lessons of deep, abiding inter
est, and of inestimable value, to be le.irned in
studying the lives of the men who perilled
their all to secure the blessed inheritance of
free institutions which we now enjoy. We
do not learn merely the dignity and sacred
ness of pure patriotism, by following them in
their career amid the storms of the Revolu
tion, but all the vir'.ues which adorn human
ity are presented in such bold relief, in the
private and public actions of that venera
ted company, that when we rise from a
perusal of a narrative of their lives, we feel
as if all the noble qualities of our common
manhood had been passing before us in re
view, and challenging our profound rever
ence. The biography of a great man, is an histo
ry of his own times; and when we have pe
rused the record of the actions of the men of
our Revolution, we have imbibed a general
knowledge of tho great events of that strug
gle for Freedom. If this proposition is true,
then we feel that this volume has a claim to
the public regard, for the author has endeav
ored to compromise within as small a compas3
as a perspicuous view of the subject would
allow, the chiet events in the lives of the
men who stood sponsors at the baptism in
blood of our infant Republic.
The memoirs are illustrated by copious
notes explanatory of events alluded to in the
course of the biographical narrative, and
these will be found a highly useful feature
of the work."
