The Progress of the Canvass.
Trials and tribulations have come upon our
democratic leaders. But a few weeks ago
they came out of our old Court House, flush
ed with ..the honors of victory : now, they
mope about as though something had bit them
and not a friend remained to bid them good
cheer. Then the adoption of a Delegate
System was a triumph which spread a,smile
of sweet complaisance over iheir rotund
countenances: now, dark clouds overshadow
their brows, and they look upon the creature
of their own creating as a suspicious thing
a sort of internal machine, which may con
tain the material to blow them sky high
Then the assurance was repeatedly, and with
the greatest hardihood, given, that in future
no man need expect a county office unless
nominated by a so-called Democratic Conven
lion: now, the very grand masters in the
plot to fasten that galling yoke upon the
necks of the people walk along in dire trep
idation, lest the system be made the means
of crushing all their best laid plans to fatten
at the public crib. It is sad to contemplate
the disappointment which popular opposition
to the Delegate System has stamped upon the
countenances of the leaders; and yet an outsi
der cannot but laugh at the great difference
between their conduct then and now; it is so
truly a settler of the fact that "circumstances
alter cases."
A casual glance at our advertisiug columns
will show something of the existence of this
state of things. Even the pleasant org
grinder of the democracy the veritable
'Squire himself the head and front of the at
lempica iniquity hesitates, in his card, to
trust bis aspirations for the Judicial Er
mine to the tender mercies of a Delaate
Convention, as is customary in those coun
tics where the system is said to work so beau
tifulh. We naturally look to see him offer
himself" subject to the decision of the Dem
ccratic Convention,' butthere is no such thin?
in the card. Instead of the open brusqueness
which characterised his walk ai;d conversa
tion about the time of the holding of our .May
Court, we have now exhibitions of corner
caucussings and button-hole conversations.
These tell, plainer than words could express
it, that doubts as to the feasability of the
plan are forcing themselves before his eyes.
Whether -the nomination could be secured
does not appear to be the question ; but wheth
a nomination would Insure an election is a
question which looms up as a stumbling block
in. the wayr
There is a moral in this state of things
which it would be well for the honest men
r -
oi an parties to draw for themselves. Thevi
will readily see that the leaders of the de
mocracy only adopted the delegate system as
an easier stepping stone to place, and be
ca ise it promised a more ready control of the
official patronage of the county if successf ul.
It was not to promote a principle, or to ad
vance public interest, but simply to line the
pockets and minister to the ambition of those
who feel themselves born to rule, that the
measure was adopted at the May Court. I
this was not the case we should now have the
Democrat grinding most lustily for regular
nominations- But as a nomination gives
uuoi. v,ctiuui promise oi acieat, and as our
neighbor's interests lies not in that way, the
system is tacitly admitted to be inexpedient
for the present, because the chances for the
judgship are infinitely better if the people
.are Idt uutrammeled by tight party reins.
The conclusion is a sensible one, and, at
the same time, establishes the fct that there
is some difference whether it is our own or
our neighbor's ox that is to be sored.
Religious Meetings.
A series of religious meetings are now be
ing held in this borough, under the supervi
ion of the Rev. E. M.Long, of Philadelphia
The meetings are held in a large Tent, on a
vacant 101 in tne rear or the Court House,
and are participated in by both people and
clergy of ail denominations. We have at
lonlrwl ri b n 1 C . I '
- ui me meetings, ana were
pleased to see large and deeply interested
audiences. We cannot doubt but that much
good will flow from this means of imparling
that Kind of knowledge which fiteth man
for that change which leads from life tempo
ral to life eternal. The meetings com
menced on Saturday evening last, and will
close on Friday eveniug. The preachino- of
the llev. Mr. Wilson,-a Wind man, is listen
od loo with great acceptance.
The CharleBton Advertiser says a lady
called at an apothecary store a few days
ago, aud inquired if he had any tissue
paper. The doctor's clerk replied tBo
negative. "Then," tnid tbo woman, "I'll
take three cents worth of gin."

Riot in Easton.
The Democratic County Meeting Total
Destruction of the Sentinel Office.r-Part
of the Argus Office Destroyed. Peace
and Compromise Repudiated.
We learn, from the Northampton Journal,
that immediately after the reading of the
resolutions at the Democratic meeting, held
at Easton, on Monday afternoon last, there
was disapprobation manifested in the crowd,
which was increased soon after Col. Johnson
commenced making a speech in response to
a call made upon him. It is also said that
the Colonel's expressions of sympathy for the
rebels were so strong as to call forth a re
buke from one of the Associate Judges, a
loyal democrat, who was present. After he
had concluded his speech, a citizen was call
ed upon to make a reply, but was not allow
ed to do so. This added fuel to the excite
ment, and after the adjournment of the meet
ing, a fight took place at the American Ho
tel, where pistols were drawn.
Early in the evening several hundred per
sons assembled in front of Col. Johnson's re
sidence in the Square and burnt his effigy.
They would have scuttled his house, but for
the presence of his family and of several Re
publicans. The mob next proceeded to the Sentinel
office which they gutted completely. All
the nrintinir materials and furniture were
thrown into the street and burnt.
The next movement was for the Argus of
fice, where after demolishing some furniture
and pying some type, the mob yielded to the
imnortunities of a gentleman who, with the
stars and stripes in hand, assured the crowd
that Mr. Hutter would, within twenty-four
hours, make a satisfactory declaration.
The Correspondent office was next in or
der. Here the crowd was very large. Mr.
Cole, the editor, flung out the Union Banner,
appeared at the window, and declared that
he was for the Union and for the Federal
Government "right or wrong." Having
come down so flatly he was permitted to pass
Calls were then made successively on Ex
Senator Brodhead, Mr. Huller, and on Mes:
Schuyler, prosecuting attorney, Benedict,
George Able, O. H. Myers, John Sletor, and
Judge Stein, who severally appeased the-mob
by the display of the stars and stripes, or by
the expression of Union sentiments.

The Tent Services.
After various delays and disappoint
ments, occasioned chiefly, by tbe rains,
tho tent was at length erected in this
plaoe on Saturday last, and opened for
religious services with a large attendance.
On Sabbath morning the people atten
ded their usual piaces of worship, but in
the afternoon and evening they all join
ed in Union services in the teut. The
Rev. Mr. Wilson, tbe blind preacher, de
livered two powerful discourses which
were listened to with serious attention by
tbe vast congregations which more than
filled tbe tent.
In immediate connection with the
preaching service every afternoon, the
Rev. Mr. Long lectures to children from
a series of drawings illustrating various
incidents and important truths of scrip
ture, with whioh tbe parents seem to be
as much pleased and perhaps profited as
u .i,iij.nn tioa o wore linnTT fnn.

numbers and interest. This together with

preaching from three to four, and a chil
dren's meeting, from fonr to five o'clock
in the afternoon, and preaching in the
evening, constitute the daily, public ser
vices. As some epeoial' interest has been
manifested a meeting for religious con
versation and prayer is held from seven
to eight o'clock every evening in a private
house very near the tent.
The meetings close on Friday evening,
on Saturday the tent ia to be removed,
to Williamsburg. Tho Rev. Mr. Pierce,

A BeM Nest-Egg Eonnd. Capture of a
J. D Agent, and 40,000 Confederate
Eoreign Financiering.
The shifts to which the Southern Re
bels are driven to procure funds for wag
ing their unholy war are as various abd
decperate ao can well be conceived. All
that unscrupulous talent can do; all that
lies, promises, protects, and Dppeals can
accomplish; all that tho thorough exer
ciec of despotic power over their deluded
subjects can compass, are unhesitatingly
resorted to by the Rebel leaders to bol
ster up a bad cause, and secure its ulti
mate triumph. For their followers they
paint the glorious future of the Empire
of the Southern Cross, and, when promi
ses fail, resort to threats of attainder and
punishment for treason. For foreign na
tions they hold out the tempting bait of
p.hp.nn cotton and direct trade in case
they will break our blockade, and send
crafty agents to poison tho public mind
against us and offer seeming sound secu
rities for the negotiation of the bonds.

otherwise One of Jeff. Davia's financial

witbin a month. The particulars of this

imposed on the banks, baukers, and vo-
ters witbin its jurisdiction, and having
paved tbe way by the inis.ion and macb-
matians of tbe three rambling boroniis-
sioners. sent one 1 nomas a. ocrnii, a
wealthy colton broker or factor of New-
Orleans, to England by tbo steamer Per
sia on the 17 tb of July, either to nego
tiate a loan, or receive the proceeds of
one already arranged by others
it mat-
ters not which. The ai-nt, with a discre-
tion winch he would have dene well to
pursue uutil bis safe return to the C. S,
A., registered bis name on the steamer
books as "Mr. Serrill, Philadelphia"
thus, happily for him, giving no clue to
his place of domicile or the natorc of bis
mission. Onboard the.vessel were sun-
dry congenial spirits from New-Orleans,
Charleston, Texas, Mobile, and other
Southern ports and places, and a sprink-
ling of English merchants and bankers,
American, Mexican, onanish, and 15el-
gian politicians and diplomat".
On the vovajze out. he confided the
purport of his mission to tho afore useful,
safe, and available of his fellow-pa-sen
crs, and no doubt "laid pipe" and paved
the way tor tue little transactions he pro-
posed to make over tbe water. Wonder-
ful to relate, by some means or other be
accomplished his purposes, and that so
speedily that alter tbe enchanpe of docu-
uients, hypothecation or securities, and
arrangement of other preliminaries, he
drew 40,000 in Bauk of England notes,
and was ready to return by the rersia on
her homeward voyage. Before leav
he and tbe Roving Commiseion made all
their arrangements for the transmission
of more funds, bv safe opportunities, at
stated intervals. So far everything had
cone on swimmingly, and shrewd, smooth,
plausible, able Mr. Scrril had finished his
caisson in the most successful manner.

on earth, has steadfastly and by lare

Arrest of Pierce Butler.
Philadelphia, Monday, Aug. 19, 1861.
Pierco Butler was arrested this after
noon by thu Uuited States Marshal, by
order of Secretary Cameron. He was
takeu to New-York this evening, enrouto
lor Uort Hamilton.
The arrest of Pierce Butler was follow
ed by tho arrests of Wm. B. Reed, late
Minister to China; George M. Wharton,
lute United States District Attorney;
Charles Crown, cx Collector of tho port,
and David Saloman.
It is stated that Butler's arrest was
caused by intercepted letters, giving in
formation to tho enemy.
Philadelphia, Tuesday, Aug. 20, 1SGI.
Pierce Butler was the only one arrest
ed in thii city, tho other arrests being:
only rumors,
The Battle near Springfield.
The additional particulars of tho recent
battlo in Missouri tho battlo of Wilson's
Creek, as it is sailed which have reach
ed us, add very Utile to our knowledge
of tbo affair gained from tbe previous full
despatches. Tho enemy's camp extend
ed along tho creek somo three miles, and
was enclosed by high ground on each side,,
on whioh the lighting principally tnoK
place. The enemy, it appears, had twen-ty-ono
pieces of artillery and a large body
of cavalry. Gen. Sigel, in his flank at
tack, succeeded in driving tbo rebels baeir
alf a mile and took possession of tbeir
camp, when be was suddenly attacked by
a regiment which he mistook for toe iirsr
ova. and hi9 command thrown into tem
porary confusion, during which be lost a
portion of hia battery. About four hun
dred horses were captured by our troops
Tfc ia a little remarkable that the elafs
of men who are finding fault with Presi-
dent Lincoln have so little rault to nou
with tho traitor Jeff. Davts.
