Mercur, j The Wate Thii 'managers of• the Northampton Water :bow iiany have purchased the two Mill prop_ . erties of Mr. Charlie G. Van . Tagen, and Messrs. A. A. 4 J. D. Wagner, the 'formbr for $lO,OOO, .and . the latter for $7OOO. The Stockholders at a meeting held on Saturday last by almost a unan imous vote sanctioned and ratified the sale. Ar rangements will speedily be wade to remedy the deficiency in the supply of water as the Company stow possesses the entire control of the water power on the "Little Lehigh." We learn that the managers intend to purchase a large forcing pump, and make such other improvements as they may deem proper for the present, by the isanction of the stockholders. We have:no:doubt that the income for per mits will double itself in the course of -a few years, and this step was advisable, in order to 'furnish the town with a sufficient supply of water. Important De oision A decision of considerable importance was made in the Supteme Court, sitting at Pittsburg, last week, inasmuch as it changes the practice uuder the "Three Hundred Dollar Law." Hith erto it has been deemed sufficient for a do. fendant to give the sheriff notice prior to a sale of personal property that he claimed the benefit of the law—and the sheriff was considered bound to pay over to the defendant S3OO out of the sale. According to the decision the debtor is bound to give notice when a levy is made, that he intends to claim the benefit of the exemption law. Appraisers must be ap. pointed, and he is bound to select the articles of furnitute, &c., which he wishes to retain. If he suffers the sheriff to proceed to a sale, he loses all share of the proceeds which enure to the benefit of the creditors in the order of their liens. Balloon Ascension On Thursday last, says the Easton Sentinel, Mr. Wise, a relative of the celebrated dEronaut, attempted to make a Balloon ascension in this place, but owing to some defect in the balloon, or in the gas, he did not succeed in getting up• On Friday he attempted it again, but ho soon discovered that he' must get some one in it of smaller dimensions than himself, if he wished to make the ascension, as it would not bear his weight. A young man by the name of Henry, of Allentown, volunteered to try the experi• ; • moot of an serial voyage. He Was accordingly set afloat and ascended in fine style, taking an easterly direction, ho crossed the Delaware, and ~soared away like a bird. He soon became alarmed, however, and in his anxiety to descend, . disregarded his instructions, the result of which was, that he came to the ground in such a `'. hurry that he was thrown from the balloon without 'much ceremony. The balloon being thus cleared of its load, darted into the air and was soon out of sight. We have since learned itat it landed somewhere in Books county, and has been recovered in good condition by its owner.

Derks County, 4600 Democratic majority The regular Democratic County ticket is elec ted by a majority ranging from 4 to 700 majority• The returns of Northampton, indicates the elections of Rickards and Burr, the Whig candi_ dates for Assembly. Perhaps there was never a more marked difference—a more striking disparity between the candidates of the two great political parties for the Presidency, than that which character ises the present contest. On the one hand, we have the most eminent public servicer, ex tending through a period•of forty years—great experience in public affairs—a name connect ed almost every great achievement of American arms—familiar to every American citizen native or adopted. (Oa the other hand we have a man unknown to public fame,— whose life has been marked by no public acts, one who has rendered hirtuielf hardly respec table in our National Legislatu re, and who, gained no distinction on the field. In short, we lirc the contrast presented to the Ameri can people, of tilvo candidates for the highest office in the Republic—both having occupied places of high distinction—one, filling every station which consutnate ability, shedding lus tre upon the American name, and whose praise is upon every tongue ; while the other sinks into insignificance, and is scarcely known be yond the precincts of the parish in which he resides. Company Election Returns iiiin - 11:4'200 - majority for the Whig The Election It is to be supposed that the great mass of the people of the United States are so blind, so besotted by party prejudice, that they cannot see the difference between the two candidates, and will nut by their votes, approve the faith ful services, reward the noble acts, and repose their trust in the tried patriotism of him whom they have always ',roved equal to any emer gency 1 It will be a curious spectacle indeed, if a man of such marked ability, of such tried pa and of such public eminence as Gen. Scott should be (ejected for an obscure, untried individual like Franklin Pierce; and we cant scarcely believe that any intelligent democrat expects any such result. Nothing, in our opinion, would be so discreditable or disas trous to the country as such a result. It would. he in fact a rebuke administered to the wisest and most successful • administration that we have had since the days of Washington ; an administration approved by all parties, the pol icy .and principles of which can only be perpe tuated by the election of Gen. Scott to the Pres idency. Nothing Truer Henry A Vise, a Locoloco leader, made a speach at Staunton, Va.; on the 18th inst„ in which he said "That the increase of gold arising from the acquisition of California had alone prevented the suspension of specie payment by the banks of the country." There is no doubt of this. How could it be otherwise, whilst almost every steamer which sails to Europe takes $300,000 or 8400 000 of specie to pay debts contracted in England by our purchases of English iron ? The Tariff of 1846 diminishes the manufacture of American Iron and compels our people to buy their iron of Foreign manufacturers. This builds up a huge foreign debt, which it takes a large por •tion of the specie of the country to pay. Had it not been for the large receipts of gold from California, the country would have been long since drained and there would have been an other such commercial revulsion as took place in 1838-40. . Norristown and Freem'bg R• Road It is now almost a fixed certainty that this Railroad will be built. „Sufficient stock has al ready been subscribecf: . to secure the charter which has been takett'uti.• It has been decided from actual surveys to be the most practicable route between the two points, although not quite so short a route as that from Germantown across to the river Delaware. We commend the spltit of the inhabitants residing upon the proposed route, as we are informed that it is their inten tion to have the road located immediately, and at once proceed to its erection, regardless of_the . course pursued by a portion of the capitalists of Philadelphia., At an election held at the public house of Samuel D. Rudy, in Sumneytown, on Thursday last, the following gentlemen were chosen officers of the Road: President—lobo Price Wetherill, of Philo Managers—Geo. W. Furring, Joseph Hun sicker, Jacob Johnson, jr., William Worrall,is• cab Johnson, Aaron Schwenk„ William H.Sling. fuss, einiel Latignker, Michael C. Buyer, C. W Cooper, Peter Bly ler, A.

The exhibition was truly magnifiegg, con sidering its being the first effort of the kind in the county. Too much praise cannot be awar ded to the committte to whose charge was confided the selection of the ground and the general supervision. The location and arrange ment of the stalls together with the taste and• skill displayed in the erection of the necessary temporary buildings, afforded abundant facili. ties to all concerned. We have the pleasure in saying, that we have heard nothing but the greatest satisfaction expressed—not only by the large number of contributors, but by all _those in attendance both far and near, who took .the_trouble to_traveLover_the ground, and ex. amine •the arrangements and the various ot.jects offered for inspection. • The weather was pleasant throughout, with the excepthin of a slight shower on the last day. The lot occupied was that known. as -"lliving ston's Lawn ,'now owned by Messrs. Fret:and Wci»sheimer, , who very kindly ()tiered it to the Society for this purpose. No, better selection could have been made. It being, we might say, the very spot nature intended for this fair. The romantic scenery that surrounds it and the water introduced into the lut -in great prole- Oen added much to the pleasures of the immense assemblage ; the lormer for its beau ty and the latter for its convenience. The ground occupied being about three and a half acres, enclosed by a beautiful canvass 8 feet high. The buildings erected on the ground were a ticket and committee office on the north side of the lot. In the centre was erect ed a temporary building 80 feet long by 35 feet wide, which was decorated by a splendid ex hibition of Hair, Silk and Worsted needle work, which did honor to the female exhibitors.— The Floral collection considering the lateness of the season was also very handsome. The collection of fruit, however exceeded anything of the kind we ever saw, consisting of Plums, Fears, Grapes, Apples, &c., &c., in varieties in numerable. The display of Wheat and Rye, Flour and Bread was grand and the competi tors many. The vegetable department was ex. ceedingly large and fine. Other departmepts were well filled and made a fine show. - The exhibition of stock was not so large, this was owing to a backwardness of man . of .our best farmers. That exhibited was pronounced very handsome and added much to the kterest of the whole. The stock of Sheep was pretty large and staled to be of the best kind. The stock of Swine was not as good as might have been • expected. The greater part being mostly for fall killing, and but very little breeding, next year We hope to see better stock. The display of Poultry was truly iriagnifi cont, and we question very much whether a titter display of Shanghai, Cochin China, Ma laya, Pheasants, Dorking, Jersey Blues, Game, Common Fowls, Geese, Ducks, Turk ies, Guin ea Hers, will be exhibited at the State Fair at Lancaster. The arena for the trial of Horses was very well arranged, but owing to the roughness of the ground, :he speed could not be tested wall that satisfaction which amateurs might have de• sired: Notwithstanding this objection, the ground was pretty generally occupied. The display of Horses was large and said to be good. The ploughing match took place on Friday at about 10 o'clock, iu the field near the Fair ground. Eight persons took part in ah. match as follows: Jacob J. Ueberroth and Chas. Wittman of Saucon ; Ed ward Schreiber and Paul Eldlliet of North Whitehall ; Peter 'Froz en and Daniel Beisel of South Whitehall ; %Va liant Maddern, of Allentown ; and John Gross, of Salisburg. The first premium was awarded to J. J. Ueberroth, the second to Daniel 13eisello the third to Charles %Vittman, and the fourth to to William Maddern. For the best Plough horses Mr. Ueberroth got the first premium, and Mr. Maddern the second. The reports of the Mama committees on premiums have not yet been arranged for publication; we however expect to give them in our next paper. The concourse of people in attendance was very great. It is intimated that there were from 10,000 to 20,000 persona who visited the grounds during the Fair, and that on the .sec ond day there were at least 12,000 on and about the ground at one time. The admittance foe was only 12i cents, and the monies realized was about 951200. The Allentown Brain' Band kindly volunteer- ed their services on the occasion, and enliven) ed the multitude with their sweet motile: On Thursday afternoon, Professor Dickerson, of Philadelphia, entertained tho audience for an hour or two with a very scientific address, for which he received the thanks ofiothe So• ciety. In the evening Geo. Kr. Foering, Esq., delivered an address in the Court House; On Friday at 2 o'clock the Rev. Mr. Shindel deliv ered the closing address. The whole passed off with the greatest enjoyment to the members ii7d - vibilors. We have the satisfaction in say ing that we believe the "Lehigh County Agri' cultural Society" is established upon a firm ba sis, and that it only requires judicious manage. meat to make it flourish. Pierce IVhiskey.—An old gentleman,a staunch Whig, who. is spending the summer over the lake, having occasion to visit the city a few,days ago, was detained at „Madisonville a short time, waiting for a boat. While there he was taken very ill. Some pronounced it a cholera case and others something else. But the old gentle. man nays he does not think it was the cholera. ~ F or," says he . , .4 fell in a crowd of -Locofo cosT.who made me drink their whiskey, Pierce whiskey they called it, and it was that I am con vinced that made me sick—for I have felt faint ever since."—/Veto Orleans Republic. - Friends of Protection. Many well intentioned persons amongst the Democratic . pariy, are warm friends of the pro tection of home industry ; but will vote for Pierce and King, under the belief that they are as good friends to a Protective 3arifi, as are the Whigs. To such we have but one thing to say, and that is : you are grievously mistaken. Protection has tint a more bitter enemy than Franklin Pierce; and' W. R. King has been voting against it for the last thirty years. All this can be proven; but what is the use of proving a fact, to men wilfully b!iud ; or, if honest in such a belief, and wishing to receive information upon the true position of the Dem• omatie candidates upon this subject, let them listen to a speech from their own candidates, and they will hoar the Whig doctrine of Pro tection, openly and bitterly denounced. If then, they are not convinced'of the posi tions of the two parties, upon this vitally im portant question, all we have to say is: You prefer party, to . principles, and would rather destroy your own prosperity, than to shake off the trammels of party dictation. We venture the assertion that there is not a well informed Democrat, of honesty in the ex pressinn of his sentiments, but will admit, that both Pierce and King have voted against Pro wetion every chanee'they have had, and are supported upon the knowledge, that they will do so still. - The British and the Loess. The British and the Lqcos are engaged in the same effort, viz : to break down American labor. The policy of British manufacturers, is exposed in the following remarks, which we take from the Pottstown Ledger, .a highly re spectable opposition paper : Our attention has been called to the fact, that in 1848 a similar rise in the price of iron took place, as has been experienced within a few months. It is supposed to be a significent of policy on the part of the English manufac turers of iron, thus to enhance prices,, which can easily be done, by' concert of action among their extensive firms, PO, us to effect the election in this country. It looks so, and we invite the attention of close observers to note the fact, thus occurring twice in succession , for the fu ture. The Englislimanufacturers have now control of the manufacture of iron, and this pol icy is pursued to dull feeling on the subject, a rout our presidential election season. She I.es nothing by the operation, when she can _antulate stock, for 6 or 9 months with funds obtained for 2 per cent. for the first shipment, made alter at increased prices pays for all such outlay. The English manufacturers are shrewd men and do not stop at trifles. They are aware of the.great advantage they derive from their large importations into this country' from whom they must receive 30 or 40 millions of specie ar s trually, in order to balance accounts. Union Democrats for Scott. The Hon. James Johnson, member of Con gress from the second Congressional district of Georgia, and elected as a Union Democrat, has declined in favor of General Scott, in conjunc tion with a number of Union Democrats in hi• district. Mr. Johnson was one of the signe of Messrs. Toombs and Stephens' card, and t fair inference, therefore, is that he has disc - ered the groundlessness of the objections t re urged against General Scott, as well as. the worthlessness of the claims set up for Guierel Pierce. We learn from the Georeia qtizen that during the last Congre.siomil Canvas; the Southern Rights Democrats assailed Mr. 131m so as o Democrat pledged to the maiotenance O P ? reompromise. "He triumphed aver them most gloriously . ," it is remarked, "being sus. tained throughout jhat heated con;est by the Union men of that district, the vat body of whom are now warmly engaged/in the sup- port of Scott." A Leaf for the old Soldiers The Buffalo Rough Notes says, that an old and respectable Democrat who was present 4 a Whig meeting the other clay, heard the asse, , - tion made that Pierce voted against the lat• to give pensions to the old revolutionary - soldiers and their widows, called on the speaker to have him prove the assertion made in his speech. The gentleman took down the Con gressional Globe for the year 1841, nod on page 117 lie showed the plsce where Franklin Pierce boasted in the United States Senate that he was the only roan, with'one exception, from all the New England States who had voted against granting a pensios either to the soldiers of our wars, or to the witliws of those who had been slain in battle. Tlie old gentleman read the speech attentively; threw down the book in disgust, and is 4ow hurrahing for old Chippewa at the top of hp voice. Senqtor illerr. !wailer. This-gentliman called for an investigation of , the amount ~ if monies received dy Gen. Scott for his service !—and cast up his eyes in holy hot.. ror at the idea of his having received about six thousanddoliars per anr um.: But Mr. Merri wether hrs shown, that, however he may cen• sure olhprs for taking what the law allows, he has no qualms of conscience when his turn comes to put his hand in the public pulse.— He sedrved forty-eight days in the Senate, for which he pocketed $384 in per their), with $852 for mileage—the latter item being much larger than was charged by either. Mr. Clay or Mr. Un. derwood. He understands how to measure dis tances admirably, especially when he is to be paid fur travelling. His whole compensation was rather more than $25 50 per day for his ser. vices in the Senate; where the only thing of qote which he did, was the call for a committee to inspect and report on Gen. Scott's accounts, Truly he deserver to be voted a lether mednifor his services. 17 - Albert 0. Newton, a prominent Demo, °ratio member of the last Legislature of Dela ware, has come out in a strong letter in favor of General Scott. ' A Glance at the Campaign Some weeks since, says the Philadelphia Evening Bulletin, a neutral paper, we had °mt• sion to speak of the aspect of lie Presidential Campaign,.referring to it as oni unprecedented for the dullness and lack oliinterest manifested by the two great parties. A change has ,been gradually brought about since then, and the apathy of a few weeks ago has been superseded by a very general activity, so that there is a brisk contest when the great day of battle comes, less than a month hence. The Whigs, more than the Democrats,ave partaken of this spirit of re•animation tha has appeared, and now, almost for the first time, ince the nomination, they seem to be working) with • sincere and earnest zeal (or their leader. This is attributable to several causes. General Scott's western tour, which we lately spoke of gslikely to arouse them to enthusiasm, has produced great t excitement Th roughout Kentucky and hio, far lexceeding what we had anticipated.; a the dig ' nity with which General Scott conduc himself on that tour, and the tact displayed in he recep tion of ail the honors offered him, ar producing an effect favorable for him even in he distant Stales of the Union. A r pearance of i the religious 1 , e been intro ,. elesss forced ; as are all the en. Pierce, they i dvantag,e through i .lectioneering that ractice of nit par , e the system, and I all mixing of reli a re now only discuss weP . cannot ail to see ide to milli r, from the e religious prrludices Another cause of the altered a) things into be found in the fact thr question, which ought never to he duced into the contest, is never upon the people, and, groundles) charges of illiberality against are yet made to'woric to his di the operation of tl9 m .! system has been legitimiled by the lies for years. We do not have never failed to oppot gion with politics; but wet ing causes and effects, at that General Pierce is appeal now making to of a large class of the immunity. There are still othe causes that have contri buted to the improve appearance of the Whig cause. In Pennsylv nia, fOr instance, the Tar . iff question and th on g•protracted depression in the Iron interes re operating to the injury of General Pierce ; t fallacies of the Tari ff of '46 and the prostrati of the chief manufacturing business of the to thr ough its operation, being more plainly vi le every day, and more and more dlss - atisfyig the people with all who avow their determin 'ion to support that tariff. Then we have a m er of wider range in its effects, in the undisgui I anxiety of the English, as ex pressedthr , h the London Times and other in^ fluental jo ials in England and in Canada, for th e e i ee tt of General Pierce, as the guaranty for the p anency of a tariff system which is most be ficial to England. Americans are al. ways s picious of British sympathy, and the /I a f Ai 1 } ) ir 1 0 P e fir s r , • I nervouianxiety of the Times and its brethren of the/ritish press, fur the defeat of General Scott roduces a determination to support him i n or minds on this side of the water. sides all these, the mass of the public have no et recovered from the wrong done to men o reater talent and long services to the coon. , in the selection of General Pierce as the rndidate for the Presidency. The merely neg! ive greatness of honesty and respectable polit cal attainment; is not sufficient to excite popular enthusiasm, and the supporters of Gen. Pierce are daily made sensible or the uphill character of labors to exalt the services and character of a comparatively obscure man. The attempt to make capital for him out of his military career has been 'abandoned as utterly vain ; especially when placed in contrast with the undisputed greatness of his competitor in that respect.— There remains, then, nothing in his character or services to fall back upon, except the ordinary cared - of s politician, of undoubted integrity and intelligence, it is true, but not so far above bun ' dreis of his fellows as to inspire the people with enthusiasm in his behalf. These are the general causes which have Wiped to inspirit anew the Whig ranks and to tpprove their prospect of success. Judge Douglass Wanted at Home In his speech at the Democratic ratification meeting in this city, Judge Douglass pledged II• linois to give Gen. Pierce a spontaneoWs and an overwhelming majority. The Prairie State, according to the Judge, was so certainly safe for the party that he intended to devote the reces of laboring in more doubtful districts. If the Chi• cago Journal is to be believed, hotyever, he has been suddenly called home, with an assurance that the Democratic party in Illinois need not only his services, but the services of every "lion" that can be spared for the occasion. The Alton (Ill.) Telegraph remarks: DouglasS'a precipitate retreat home ward, after having promised to canvass twenty eight Slates ) of the 'Minn, is full of deep gigniO. canoe. When this great 'little map,' who scarce ly three months ago pledged Illinois to be the 'Banner State' of the Democracy, grows fearful of losing it entirely, what must be the prospects of Pierce and King in the other States I When Illinois, hitherto the stronghold of the Deniocra cY, requires the presence of Douglass, Vass, Houston and others, to save it, what hope have they for such States as they have all along ac knowledged to be doubtful I" The Cloven Foot.—J. R. Giddings, according to the Cleveland Herald, has publicly stated that if he is defeated for Congress in his district, at the approaching election he will at once take the stump for Pierce and King. This illustration of patriotism and political honesty of Mr.Giddinge, is on a par with his sayings and doings (or some years past, and we trust the Whigs of the West. ern Reserve will show by their votes, that they rightly appreciate-the man, and the despicable motives by which he is governed. Fine Chanee.—A widow advertises in the 809. ton Transcript, that she is 'very much in want of a husband—very much indeed. She Says she is "twenty six years of age, rather good looking, kiid disposition, of good education, and worth ten thousand dollars, would like a husband who has energy and enterprise, and in every sense of the word, a map, an,honest 'man, whether poi • fished ot'unpolished• - • Vraspects in Penn s ylvania. We make the following extracts from letters received from some of the best informed and re. liable Whigs in the interior, showing the condi tion and prospects of our rause in, the State. Let them serve to encourage and animate our Whig friends to still greater exertions. WlLLlAmsronr, September 20 Pierce's majority cannot exceed that given for Gas., • • • Some Whigs are .of opinion that Semi w ill jumhave ai majority.

Pillsx.irg, September 14: • ' It is my opinion that our mhiority will be from tioo to 1000 votes, greater for Gen.scott, than it was in 1848, for Gen. Taylor.

There are a number of the war of 1812, Democrats, who will vote for Scott. Uniontown, Sept. 16. I have a personal knowledge of at least fifty who voted. for Cass that have declared their de termination to support Scott. .., Honesdale, Sept. 24. • We confidently expect to do better .r.e Scott than we did for Taylor. The nomination eves the most perfect satisfaction, and every man Taylor will• vote for Scott. In addition to this, know a good many who OW not vote for Taylor that are now fur Scott.

Sept. 22 In 1849, Cass had 2072 over Taylor in this county. Now, it will not exceed 1900. A great many think not more than ISM). Me rcer, Be t pt. 18. The prospect in this section-of the State are • better and more cheering for Gmeral Scott than. they were in 1848 for Gen, Taylor. If Whigs. do their duty, the result in Pennsylvania is not. at all doubtful. I would give it as my opinion, from all I cam learn, that Scott's vote will exceed Taylor from, 100 to 200 votes. Another Sign. That General Pierce did not e.chtitevr &vibe' tion in Congress we consider a. settled point.— Prom such statements as the following we con clude that he did no,t FULL southern gentlemen who had opportunities at actually observing his course while here, We quote from the Char lotte (N. C.) Whig : •.\Ye learn that Hon. Henry W. Conner, ex-- member of Congress from this district, is oppos. ed to the election of Fra•'k la Pierce, and will not support him. Now when it is remembered that these two gentlemen served most of their time• together in Congress, it eta: br regarded as pretty strong proof that the General fives a little too far North to suit the tastes of that honorable ex member, and that the former did• not stand side by side with Calhoun in favor of the South." The Mr. ro tner referred sat in the House , of Representatives when Mr. Pierce occupied a. place there, and was then, and he has skier been, a warm Democrat. We ar• as oirel , h• 'ugh a. private channel that the statement of the Char.. !cote Whig is correct, so far as it relates to Mr Conner's determination not to vote for Pierce. Bolters Yesterday, and previously we published long lists of "bolters" from Pierce and King. Our exchanges teem with accounts.of disaffection in . the Democratic . ranks. A general stampede seems to be goin g on among the Pierceites in many parts of the country. As it was in . the lent campaign, so it will La in ihie. The Whigs do a little "bolting" immediately after the nomina tions; but as soon as they have lime to "blow off" their disappointment, they come back. On the other hand, the Democrats appear to be al most unanimous aufirst ; but in a little while the "bolting" among atom begins, and goes on in , creasing as the canvass progresses.
