ILLINOIS ron VICE PRESIDENT HANNIBAL HAMLIN,- OF MAINE. FOR GOVERNORS " Sindrew. G. Curtin, OF CENTRE' COUNTY Pennaylviirda 'euld the Tariff., . . The treachery of the DeMperatic party to the tariff interests of Pennsylvania was never so 'Oily exposed, as at present. With but a few. exceptions the Democratic members of the 'Mouse voted against Marril's tariff bill. When ,'the measure ,reached the. Senate, in almost solid column the Democratic SenatorA showed disposition to.defeat the bill and finally post- Fon e dthe consideratian of the question to Decem -ber tether than openly defeat it. Afraid of their actimi;' they, finally ie-considered their motion to postpone, only however to *adjourn without making a single move toward the pas sage of a measure of such vital importance to Pennsylvania interests. A tariff resolution was sneered at in a National Democratic Con vention .at Charleston, and the Pennsylvania member, who offered the resolution sat quietly down in his seat, and nothing further was hoard of tariff in the Convention. The Re •publican members of the House and of the Senate heartily sustained the tariff bill, which the people of Pennsylvadia approved, passed the measure through the House, and would have, done the like in the Senate, if but a feiv Democrats could have been brought to their support to insure a majority in that body.— . The Republican party has inserted a tariff plank in their platform and nominated a can didate for the Presidency, who in his whole lifetime has been a supporter of the great doctrine of his political friend, Henry Clay, pro tection to American industry. The considera tibn of the subjectof tariff alone should insure an unprecented majority in Pennsylvania for "honest Old Abe." We believe that it will.— As in 1858, so in 1860 the delegation of Con gressmen from Pennsylvania, is destined to be almost, if not entirely, a unit in support of the Republican party. Such will be the case, we believe in almost every Northern State. Not a vestige will be left of the Democratic Party in tho Northern States, and Douglas in the Southern States will be compelled to succumb topreokenridge and Bell. What a Democratic Senate Did ? No person; who has carefully watched the proceedings of Congress during the past ses sion, can fail to notice the difference between the conduct of the Senate and the lower branch of our National Legislature. The House lost nearly three months in attempting to elect a Speaker, whilst the Senate was ready for the transaction of business. The Senate ie a smaller body and should bo able more speedily to dispatch legislative business. Yet during the session the House has always been in advance of the Senate. The House passed the bill admitting Kansan into the 'Union; the Senate refused to take any action on the matter. The House passed a Home stead bill; the Senate refused to ratify the one passed by the House, add a compromise was patched up, which the President vetoed. It was doubtless known,' that the President Auld veto the bill, but the Democratic party did not dare to assume the responsibility of de feating the measure. The, House passed a tariff bill. The Senate first deoided to post pone 'the consideration of the question until December next, whilst subsequently Senator Bigler had the motion reconsidered and then .packed off to Baltimore, neglected the matter and nothing was done. Thus the Senate and the President have been a dead weight upon the government, preventing action upon the most important subjects, calling for Congres sional action. •We leave our readers to infer, into the hands of which party the government ' for the coming four years can be committed with most safety, the Republican or the Dem ooratio Party. It , . Return of Hon. Henry C. Longneoker. The Hon. Henry C. Longnecker, the Repre oritative froM this Congressional District, re turOed from Washington on Wednesday even ing last. His many friends, in testimony of their approval of his career in Congress,,deter mined to give him a warm and hearty greeting. A meeting of the "Central Republican Club was held the evening of his arrival at " Head •Quarters," and after an able'-address from Prof. Gregory, a large concourse of , the mem bers of the Club ond of thepitizens generally accompanied by the' Allentown Bram Band, ' proceeded to the Anierican Hotel, wii( - W Mr. Longneoker was stopping. In responee to a serenade Mr. Longneoker in elegant language thanked the citizens for the hearty manner, in which they had welcomed him home, spoke of. the gratitude he felt for the.acts of- friend ship toward him on the part of the citizens of Allentown from the time, when he came in our niiaat a stranger and • almost friendless, until when in 1858, he iiehonored with an deo : tion as the Representative of the Seventh Con gressional Ditstrict in Congreu; • Reference was had to the emotions of pleasure, which were aroiised, when once more in returning from the labors of Congressional life, care-worn by the, trials and excitements of the Capital, he breathed invigorating drafts of the pure • and healthful atmosphere' of our Lehigh Val lay. Mr. I,,ongnecker's remarks were heartily .. •greeted. The, turnrout of Republicans was .• the largest we have seen in our Borough since 1856, and evidences. alike their approval of the course of our Representative in Congress, • as w9ll as their interest in the approaching State and National elections. mas Janututsrawirox WITII BRECKENRIDGE.

The people of Pennsylvania always have bnen in favor of a protective tariff and such have been their declarations at The polls, when the queStion has been fairly and honestly present ed. In 1844. the people were cheated by the professions of Polk, Dallas and the tariff of 1842. But a similar cheat will answer no lon ger. Political parties have placed themselves upon record, and there is no longer doubting,. as to what may be expected of the partieh of the country upon this question, so vital to the interests ofour State. But does Senator Doug las suppose, 'that, because such are their de terminations, that therefore they will vote for him, for the Presidency?. Has Senator Doug las ever made himself Champion of the tariff? Have not all his acts, votes, and speeches been on the side of those, hostile to our interests? Pennsylvanians must and will settle this ques tion themselves. Senator Douglas has agita ted the country for the last six years, upon the question of slavery in the Territories: This has been the hobby, that he has constantly rid den. Squatter sovereignty, and, at times, popu lar sovereignty has been his cry, but never a word for the interests of Pennkylvania. Never has the country had a more reckless politician in the councils of the nation. His uncalled for repeal of the Missouri Compromise plung ed the country into it sectional i , strife, from which we have not yet recovered, and his pres ent position has hopelessly divided the Demo cratic Party. Sacrificing the unity of his par ty, we verily belieVe, he would not hesitate to sacrifice the Union of the States, if necessary, to gratify the cravings of an inordinate ambi tion. Glorious for Oregon So great has been the influence of the Fed eral office-holders in the new tftrittries, that generally the new States, have wheeled into the Democratic ranks, and have only chang ed their politics, when free from the influence of the Federal Administration. Minnesota started as a Democratic State and has • become Republican since. Nebraska is likely to be lost to the Democracy, before she becomes a State, but the influence of the Administration offi cials was sufficient to make her first election re sult in favor of the Democracy. Kansas, (and for this the Border Ruffians have none to thank but themselves,) has risen in her might and crushed her oppressors, and, because tihe is Republican, a Democratic Senate gives her the cold shoulder, when she applies for adntission into the Union. Oregon was admitted as a Democratic State. At last year's election for Congressman, the majority for the Democratic nominee was but sixteen. The latest intern-. gence from this uew State, giving the results in two of the Southern counties, shows the fol lowing Republican gains, as compared with last year's election. 1860. oONGREBS. 1859.

At present, we need not go farther than our own town and county to witness some of the most remarkable. The late Editor of the Allentown Deinocrat, Mr. Hannum, was compelled by the . force of cir cumstances to, abandon his-poition, as Editor of the English Organ of, the Democratic Party, in our County, because he condemned the Ad ministration and sided 'with Douglas, in his op position to President Buchanan, on the Litcmnp ton question. The same paper, under the Edi tor, who succeeded Mr. Hannum, now' hoists • , the name,of, Douglas , Or the Presidency.. The Repubt4aner, of our Borough, all along has been the warm defender of the Administration and .new abandons the Administration ticket, Breckenridge ttnd Lane, and sustains the cause , of the rebel, Douglas. At the County Demo cratic Conventions of 1858 and 1859, the few Anti-Lecompton Democrats dared not raise their voice against resolutions, sustaining the Administration, and did not dare to raise a voice in favor of Governor Packer, persecuted, be ' cause lie . opposed the Administration. Now these same men, then a mall minority',•claim that the Democratic Party of Lehigh is at their backs.. We have con stranger elm nges in the Democratic ranks, and so aro not 'surprised. EDITORIAL CIIANOE.—Tho Carbon Democrat has passed from the hands of its recent Editor, Win. 0, Struthers, Esq., into the Editorial charge of George Bull, Esq. The Democrat, of Saturday last, had neither the name of Doug las or Breckenridge atthe head of its columns, and is ominously dark upon this subject, now so important to Democrats. The new Editor, in his inaugural, calls his readers to rally' for the power of Jefferson! and to rally for' the se curity of the tombs atMount Vernon and Mon ticello! Such would be our own advice likewise. Although the language of the Democrat is rath er mysterious, we judge, from a tirade against Col. J. W. Forney, in an article, headed : The Political Arnold, that the Democrat is inclined to sup t . rt Breckenridge. How LINCOLN CAN DE DEFEATED.—The New York Herald, the loading supporter of Buchan an's Administration, last week state& that the only way to defeat Lincoln would be to take from him the State of Now York, and proposes, as a plan to effect this, a fusion of the Bell, Breckenridge and Douglas men on a single electoral ticket. To carry this plan successful ly through, $1,000,000 would have to bo raised by tho Capitalists of Now York City. Our readers may see, that its hopes of Democratic success are but slight, and that, •to carry the election tor•the Democratic Party, would re quire a repetition of the frauds of 1856, on a larger scale, with a tier larger capital.

Douglas or John b. Breckenridge.. Tie only difference .Would be, that, ,in John C. Breckenridge, the people would know before hand:the character of the Administration they should expect, whilst, in Stephen A. Douglas, many would be cheated. Each would be equal ly the friend of the South, to the prqjudice of Northern rights and interests. The two par ties now only differ on one question. The sup: porters of Breckenridge affirm, that the Con stitution is the guaranty of the rights of sla very in the Territories, bidding defiance alike to Congressional or Territorial Legislation t o abolish it, whilst, upon this question, the Doug las Party, in the resolution adopted in the last day's sessions of the Convention, pledged them selves to submit to the decision of the Supreme Court, if afready made or hereafter made.-- The South wants Cuba to make Slave States; so. does Douglas. The South believes in fili bustering for annexing Southern Territory and annexation with the same end in view; so does Douglas. The South is oppoied to a protective tariff; so has Douglas been his life long. Among the supporters of Douglas are violent pro-slav ery men, as well as among the friends of Breck enridge. Among - the supporters of Douglas, was one in the Convention, who, after the nomi nation, in a speech, said, he was proud to boast, that he was a Stave-breeder, Douglas, to concil iate the South and make himself President, pro posed the repeal of the Missouri Compromise and after making himself odious to the North by doing so, found it necessary to oppose Bu chanan's administration. The next sop, in his political somer-saults, if ho ever gets a chance to make another, will be to conciliate a hostile South. And will not his past career warrant us in inferring, that he will attempt to do it? We are equally opposed , to both can didates, and the peace of the Country, the hon esty of the Government, demands the election of " honest old Abe." WHAT THE BALTIMORIANS THINK. OF TILE BAL-. TI MORE CON VENTION.—The • citizens of Balti more, it would seem, have not formed the most favorable opinion of the Democratic Party, if the character of the Party is to be judged from the Representatives of the Party, assembled in that city. 'The Baltimore Patriot notices the Con vention, as follows : "The scenes, that have been enacted in our midst, since Monday last—the daily scuffles and nightly broils—the quarrels, dissensions, and fights—the drunkenness, gambling, pro fanity, and other disreputable conduct, whigh has been visible for the past week—must, we think, lead all men to rejoice that the end is near. The peace of the city has been disturb ed only by those non-residents, 'who were 'sent here to produce harmony and peace. Men oc cupying high position, members of Congress, have been arrested for open breaches of the peace and public decorum. Street fights have occurred almost every day. Pistols have been exhibited, dirk-knives used, and in and around the drinking-shops and gambling-rooms, exci ted knots of men, "chubs," have gathered in angry discussion, which has generally led to a knock-down and drag-out by the police. Citi- , zens throughout the country do not see, but the citizens of Baltimore have seen to their hearts' content, or, perhaps it would be better to say, to the stomach's disgust, the kind of men who, through the machinery of Conventions, have ruled the fortunes of this Republic. •It may he supposed and on, very good grounds, that we contemplate the near prospect of the dis solution and dispersion of such a Convention and suoh a party with feelings of pleasure.— We really think that no greater good fortune could befall the country than the final disrup t,ion. and scattering of the Democratic Conspi racy. And we are not alone in this. We can quote the testimony of "good" Democrats in this'hehalf—in behalf of the facts upon which we think this disruption would be a benefit, if not to show that. the Ciinvention's and the Party's dispersion and flight would be an ad vantage, to the country." QM ARRIVAL OF TILE GREAT EASTERN.—The Great Eastern, the largest vessel ever }milt, and possibly the largest, which ever may be built, arrived at New York, on Thursday last, after a trip of eleven days. The engines were not permitted to be worked to their full capac ity, out of caution for the safety of the vessel on her first voyage. It is expected, that on her return. to England, the voyage may lie made in eight or nine days. Tne Great East ern has a tonnage of 22,500 tons, is 080 feet in length, 83 feet broad, and the deck of the vessel is about 00 feet above the water.— The vessel is now lying at the foot of Hammond street, New York, whore she will remain for about six weeks, during which time she will be kept for theinspection of visitors. It. is ex-; peeted, that a large amount may be realized from the fee, charged for admission tolthe ves sel. It is expected, that the Great:'.Eastern will be kept for the purpose of carrying pas sengers, between New York and' England.— The original design, in i her construction, of car rying freight between England and the East Indies, has been abandoned, on account dinar not holding coal enough fur the outward and return trip. • ANOTHER GARBLED QUOTATION.-ID one of late issues of the Allentown Democrat appeared the following : " Honest Coqlession.—The Springfield Re •publican• honestly . confesses that in -11Iasschu setts Republicanism is so dead, that, as a party we really lack the stimulus to a healthy • excitement.'" In order. that our readers may see how cor rectly the Editor quotes, 'we copy the following statement of what the Sprinfleld Republican actually did say: " The Democratic party is so dead here, and everything but Republicanism is so dead, that, as a party, we really lack the stimulus to a healthy csc,itement." FOR BRECKEN RIDGE AND LAN C.-Thiti Gazette and Democrat and. Reading Adler, the two organs of the Democracy in Berko county, have hoisted the names of Breckenridge and Lane. The Gazette in doing so, states, that it represents the wishes of• a large majority of the Democracy of Berks. county. We believe such to be the case. We believe, that the organs of the Democracy in this County will find before the election, that the majority of the Democracy of Lehigh are on the side of Breckenridge and Lane. INDIANA MR 3eBse D.

Mr. Walton was taken to the Hospital, but soon died. A pistol was subsequently found, whose bore corresponded with the slugs found in the persons of the two dead men, and was doubtless the weapon, with which the mischief was perpetrated. Domes tic difficulties are supposed to have been the the cause of the murder. We copy from the New York Tribune. lIE lIIVORS' OF VIE .CASE Some time ago Mr Walton married a wid ow lady named lien Ai. Russell,who was at that time the keeper of a boarding house in this city, Lately . the Supreme Court have been en gaged in trying a suit for separation from bed and board brought by John Walton against his wife. The ground on which this applica tion was based was cruel and inhuman treat inent,:which rendored it unsafe for him to live with her. The. last hearing of this case took place on the 4th of June last, at which time decision was reserved. At the time the marriage between Mr. Wal ton' and the Widow Russell took place, she represented to him that she had previously twice married, and that both her former hus bands were dead. Her first husband was a Col. Jefferds, by whom she had two children both of whom are now alive, tho eldest being 22 years A' age and the youngest 19. Her next alliance was with Capt. Russell, by whom she had one boy, named Vrack Russell, now 12 years of age. She further stated that she had adopted her sister's child, it daughter, four months old, and that the infant was then resi ding in the country. She concealed from Mr. Walton the fact that she had an intermediate husband between Mr. Jefferds and Mr. Russell. Mr. Walton lied not been married a great while before he began to ascertain the true character of the woman to whom lie was united. So far from her two husbands being dead he ascertained' that one at least was still living, a divorce having been obtained. lie also as certained the fact of her marriage to Morris on, and that he was then living in Dayton, Ohio ; and further, that it was exceedingly doubtful if a legal separation had ever been made by them, lie also ascertained to his sat; isfaction that instead Oa child four months old being the daughter of her sister, it was her own illegitimate offspring the result of criminal connection with a man named. Yelveton. In addition to all these 'grievances, his wife and her two sons, Charles and Edwin Jetferds, 'all of whoM were members of his• faMily and ' occupying the house No. 258 West Twenty third street, began to abuse him most shame fully. lie alleged that the boys brought im proper females to the house at all hours of the day and night, and that Mrs. Walton associa ted with a most degraded class of people. It also appeared that she had, previous to her marriage with him, kept what purported to he a . ,,eigar store, in a low neighborhood of the. city, but what was alleged to have been a house of an improper character. Mr. Walton at length, after months of 11)1.- Im:trance, resolved upon a separation. This was particularly distasteful' to Mrs. Walton and her two sons, as her husband was wealthy, and in the event of his application proving successful, they would lose all claim to his wealth. The, accordingly thought to intimi date him, using all kinds of personal abuse, and frequently threatening his life. On one occasion, one of the boys showed him a pistol which he said had been bought expressly to shoot him with. At another time Mr. Walton was suddenly taken sick, and always expres sed the belief that he had been poisoned.- lie was afraid to walk the streets alone at night, and never dared to venture into the presence of either his wife or. her sons. He frequently remarked to his friends that he was fully con vinced that he should meet a violent death at their hands. About three months since he summoned a lawyer, and made his will, saying thtit ho stood in fear of his life every moment, and thought it absolutely necessary. After the document was drawn up, he expressed himself as feeling much easier in his mind, and said that he then felt less dread of his wife and step•sons. Warrants have been issued for the arrest of I the two sons, but they have not yet been found. Ax APPROPRIATE PRAYER.—The proceed ings of the National Democratic Convention at Baltimore, on the Friday preceding its tinal dissolution, were opened by prayer by. the Rev. Dr. Slicer of Baltimore. The prayer we • think was very appropriate. Commencing with an appropriate confession of unworthiness, the Rev. Dr. proceeded to say " that these be troublons times, oh, Lord ! and no hand but thine can preserve to us and our children this great Democratic Party, which so long conserved our civil and relig ions liberties. Thou canst see, oh, Lord ! that we are in trouble ; we are 'fighting ourselves; we tat) weakening our own cause, whereas we should be with sword and buckler. already in the field, lighting and conquering our enemy, and . that of our 'country, and of' this great and glorious' Union, over which floats the flag of our Fathers, and which is dearer to us than our lives or our possessions. Decree in thy power, compel the litctions to agree with us that' WS. may put in nomination a Man who shall lend us on to certain victory and preserve with us our property and our civil rights and religious liberties, so long as the sun shall shine, which being done, to thee shall be given all of praise, of honir and of glory—Amon.?

The owner of that canine is a good citizen, and his example should be generally followed, without watiug for the or dineace to be enforced. The country is over run 'With mad dogs and there is no telling how soon they may make their appearance in our toirn. All owners of canines, therefore, who dislike the idea of confining them, should at least, restrain the " liberty of the bite, " by muzzling them at once. sernow women do admire weddings!—not their own merely, but anybody's. How they throng the churches "just to see the ceremony, you know." Then what animated descriptions of the whole affair, what. glowing accounts of what the bride " had on." What criticism of the bridesmaids. In short, what an immense amount of simper, and giggle and prattle—all because two young inoffensive people are going, in a legal and orderly • way, to set up liouse keeping. Funny, isn't it? "LINCOLN GRAND MARCU," is the title of anew piece of music just issued. Tho title Page is illustrated with a in excellent lithograph lc likeness of the next President of the United States, " Honest Old Abe," which is worth the price of the piece. Of the music we cannot speak ;-but, however good it may be. we doubt not the grand march of Mr. Lincoln into the Vfliite House on' the 4th of March next, will produce more joy in - the lend limn any march that had been produoed fur many years, • .

Shoema ker is, an able-bodied man and has lived in Emus since last April. (Hering is a lame man and unable to earn a livelihood by work. It appears, that Gloving MA not sutheiently or thodox in his political faith, and so a few Dem ocratie politicians, from Allentown, without any petition from the citizens of Emaus, or any knowledge, on thebk, part, of the proposed change, had him removed. It might be well to remind gentlemen, disposed to be so exact in matters of this kind, that "honest old Abe" is to be inang urated President on the fourth of March next, and that some other persons may then !ive a word to say, as to who are to be * Postmasters in the different offices, in the County. D ROIVN E 11.—On Saturday morning a week, a boatman by the name of Thomas McAn drews, was drowned in the Lehigh, at White Ilaven. It is supposed the accident occurred while shoving his 'boat from the tow-path pre paratory to starting on his trip, for which his boat had just . been loaded. The body was re covered some few hours after the accident hap pened, and an inquest was held by G. L. Sta ples, Esq., who summoned a jury, and a ver dict of accidental drowning was reudered.— The deceased was a single man, and we arc informed was respected and esteemed by his neighbors in White Haven, in which place he resided. There MIS something said about money hat•- ing been takeil from the pockets of the de ceased, after the body was recovered, but our reporter (lid not learn the partienhitli. CRYST AL SP RlNG&—This pleasant Sum mer retreat has again changed hands and has been undergoing repairs for the last two weeks. The former proprietor, Mr. John P. (loundie, has sold the good will and fixtures to Mr. Ed ward lEaven, of this plaice. We are glad to see ,the improvements made, and can assure all. that it is now in a better condition. than it ev er was. As there will be no public celebra tion of the 4th, in our Borough, Mr. 11. has outdo preparatlonm to ham, a grand display of Fire-works in the evening, and, atter that a Grand Ball. All loi , ers of fun are respectful. ly invited to he present; he. has engaged good music, a good police force to keep order, and all those, who will not obey, will be driven from the premises. TILE 'P I NE To GATHER HERBS.— Everybody who has an herb bed in the gar den, or witot sets a value upon a good supply of dried heiWshould see to'securing thous in the beginning of this month, or at least the most of them. The right time to gather herbs for drying, or other purposes, is when they are just beginning to come into flower. They then possess their peculiar virtues in a higher degree than at any other period. IVhen cut, do not lay them in the sun, as the excessive heat will cause them to dry too rapidly the leaves and stems become brittle, and the slightest blow will cause them to fall off and be lost. Let them be laid in the shade and carefully protected from the rain or any dampness. CA PITOLAS.—The ladies in the cities are beginning to appear in a new dress, being a sort of straw hat with pendant feather ; and we have noticed one or two of them on our streets. It is really becoming, and calloil after the he roine of Mrs. Southworth's novelette of the Hidden Hand; being the same as worn by Mrs. Rosina Howard in the play of that name. On the younger class of girls they look decidedly handsome, apropos, and becoming ; but give rather a bold and brazen look to those maidens who have survived the perils which environ twenty-five years of ago and .0 pward. Alto gether, the Capitola hat is a great invention and very applicable to the summer Solstice. MILITARY PIC NlC.—The public cele bration of the Fourth, in our Borough, having been abandoned, the three Military Companies of the Borbugh will celebrate the day at Eber hart's woods, in Salisbury township. We un derstand that the members of the Companies will provide themselves with eatables for the day, awl that arrangements have been made to accommodate all such • av the plea : • sores of the dance. A platform will be pro vided for the purpose, and a manlier of ladies have signified their intention of being present. The Declaration of Independence will be read and a number of orations delivered. NORTII PENNSYLVANIA It: R.--.-The North Pennsylvania Railroad Company have' made some changes in their treble, and added one to the number running over the ioad, sothat there are now throe through trains from Beth lehem, two of them leaving at s.(h3quitL9.2o A. M., and the third, at 5.22 P. M:%.'Undtii the new arrangements close connectiOnsdke ,made with the trains of the Lehigh Valley Railroad, so that our citizens can visit Philadelphia and return without losing.as much time as hereto fore. The time table will be found in another column. MORE IRON FURNACES.—The Thomas Iron Company of Hockendauqua, on Saturday last, awarded the contract for the mason work of two new Furnaces to Samuel Mcllose of our Borough. The two furnaces of .the Thomas Iron Company, already erected, we believe, a're the hugest stacks in the ,Lehigh Valley, and the two new ones arc to be larger still.— These, together with the new stack now be ing erected by the Lehigh Valley Iron Com pany and the new ode to he erected at Beth ldiem, will make four new stacks for the Le high Valley erected this season. DROWNED.—Two strangers, man and wife, aged about thirty years; were drowned in the Lehigh canal, near Siegfried'it bridge, on Sat urdak last. They Started to take a short trip up the canal, on a coal boat, and, on return 7 ing, the husband, in endeavoring to pass from one boat to another, accidentally fell into the water. The wife jumped in after her husband to rescue him and both were drowned. The names of the persons are unknown, nor is it known, for certain, whence they . come, although they are supposed to be from New Jersey, It Is said that both were intoxicated at the time of the soeident, • • , ' PLICAN ME AING.—A large and Mtie meeting was held on Saturday June the 30th, 1860, at the public 4Kalse. of Clouser & Scheidy, in North White yWO,n motion, Mr. John Hess was elected Chair-. v i nattia, iliMtlessrs. Jacob Lindeman,•Eliai M. 1414tittit.'47rankli n P. Mickley and Lewis. D. itlteeltere appointed Vice Presidents. Lew is beker was •apPointed Secretary. Mei' the meeting had been fully oanized, ilia rg Chairman introduced Lewis D. Steckel, Eery., to address the audience. Ho rose on the stage, and addressed the cit izens in the German language, in a very pro per manner. He went into a lengthy speech un wbich he discussed the slavery question, the tariff and the homestead bill, and very plainly showed the advantages and disadvantages of each. During the cbarse;of hie - delivery, the citizens - listened with profound interest, and at the conclusion of his. address,• wrung: the air with loud applause. • . After he had- Concluded his r e marks,ee Mr. Ednittri F. Stdbkel addressed the audience in the English language. 'He spoke 'on the sub ject "Duties and Responsibilities of voters ;" also; on the tariff .slavery and the homestead bill. His delivery was clear, accurate and en ergetic. Loud applause followed his conclu sion. 1607 762 895 320 1847 928 914 He was followed by Lewis D. Hecker, who spoke on the corruptions of our Government, dad on the necessity of voting for honest, self- Made laboring men. The speeches were re ceived with loud applause and the citizens went t6their respective homes highly satisfied with the proceedings of the evening. From this we can judge, that Lehigh County will be up and doing, during this present _po litical campaign. The citizens begin to feel the interests of a higher protective tariff, and the necessity of eradicating that corruption, which has undisputed mastery in almost all the departments of power, and Stamped its stains indelibly npon the Government. They also begin to feel, that it is their duty to raise their voices and try 'to prevent the free Terri tories from being overspread with the blight of slavery, and the fruits of that blessed soil to be wrung out by the impoverishing hands of the negro slave. In conclusion, we hope, that this spirit may animate the Republicans, throughout the length and breadth of our land, and the result be a great and glorious victory. • , A REPUBLICAN. BOGUS CENSUS TAKERS.—We notice in several of our exchanges accounts of sharp op erators who, under pretence of being census takers, gain access to and rob dwellings. It may be well enough forpersons of our county to he on their guard, for perhaps the same " dodge" will be attempted here, which has been practiced successfully in various cities and towns. On this subject a Philadelphia paper of a late date says : " Thieves are ever ready to sieze upon all expedients that offer themselves to ply their trade. They are now engaged in "taking the census," as well as article's of-a more Substan tial character. Almost the very day on which the Deputy United States:Marshals commenc ed the task of census-taking, a class of sharp ers, having in their, possession a book and pamphlet similati to the kind used by the Mar shals made their appeararice at different places of business and private residences in the southern section of the city, and after asking the usual questions purloined whatever they could lay their hands on. l'he trick-was not discovered until the genuine census-taker made his appearance and in many cases a most disa greeable delay has been occasioned by persons who refuse to apswer his questions, declairing that the proper Officer had already paid them a visit..

COUNT Y.—A week or so before the close of the Session of Congress, the Committee on Military itilairs of the House, of which the Hon. Henry C. Lengnecker, Representative from this:Big trict is a. member, reported unanimously to the Rouse a bill, fixing a National Foundry in Lehigh county. The bill could not be reacjied, owing to the accumulation of business,y and will take its place on the calender at the tom ing session of Congress. Considering that Reading, Barrisburg, Lebanon, Pittsburgand other places in .Pennsylvania, wore endeavor-, ing to secure a National Foundry, we may thank our Representative for having accom plished this much. That Lehigh county would make as suitable a place as can be found in the State of Pennsylvania for the location of a National Foundry none . can • deny : Being one of the richest and wealthest agricultural counties in the State, it is in the, immediate neighborhood • of the Coal-regions, 'whilst in the valley Of , the Lehigh-lho best of charcoal Ond Anthracite Iron aro manufacturl ed. Refaeilitics for communication with Nbw ;York and. Philadelphia, would be additiona recoMmendations. We lelieve•that with pro. per effort a National Foundry could be secured for this necessity, and are glad to see that the Representative from this 'District has taken steps in urging a measure, which must, if car ried through, prove so highly beneficial to Le high county. • SANITARY MEASURES.—As we are now fairly in the heated term, it behooves'all who have any regard for their owii health or the general good, to take active measures for the removal of every cause that may induce or promote disease. A due attention' to clean-. liners about your premises will be a good in vestment, saving the trifling cost a dosen times during the summer. Gutters should be kept clean, cellars cleaned out thurgarbage remov ed from the back alleys and not allowed to again accumulate. If practicable, water, the great 'purifier, should everywhere have free course, while a sprinkling of the street in front of your dwelling in the evening . Would add much to comfort as well as lessening the chances of disease. Clilorlde of lime; slaked distiolved copperas, coffee grounds• and like disinfectors should he thrown into sinks anti strewn about in close cellars and out houses. . Putrid meat, aril in such weather a s this it soon bCcomes so, should be removed from ,the premises to keep away insects.— There are many other precautions which will readily occur to those who really. desire to 'pre serve their health, and by (thawing to these. matters' their ditty NOR at lii.St'have perform ed, Whilst they will find' their reward, in inereased comfort'and - sectirity from infection. 80-The country, the beautiful country what a scene is spread out before us as we stroll along through some shady forest, or stand upon some lofty mg, jutting out. from the moon tain'side ; or, as we sit 'upon a graSsy knoll beside a murmuring brook, that sends up its soft soul-entrancing music, as it steals along through the meadows and glens toward the roaring , and foaming torrent, in which it into be engulphed. What lover of Nature can be hold such a Scene, without feeling a sensation of awe steal into his heart, at the splendid ar chitocture,..and the gorgeous painting, with which Nahire's Gott has beautined all hie workii!, Who can behold such.a!seene, with out holding coninninion wititlds lOod, and pouring forth a heart-felethinktigiiing to hie t3reator, for his goodness and wonderful works to the creature.
