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.

manifested in 1858, when the people arose in
their might, and elected a delegation of Con
gressmen,,
identified, with a few solitary excep
..•,• . • , . advocated • .
tions, with a party,' that a change in
the tariff and protection to American industry.
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.

Strange Changes
In the history of politics, strange changes
are often winesse I. 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.

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

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

organs of the Democracy in Berko county,

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.

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.?
REPUBLICAN MASS MEETING IN PHILADELPHIA.

not to be re-enacted.

MtiZZLED.—We notice a dog on the street
securely muzzled. 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

POSTMASTER REMOVED.—Mr. Sylves
ter Giering was removed, as Post-master of
Emaus Borough, a week or-so since, and
Shoemaker appointed in his stead. 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.

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.

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.

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.. The bogus"deputy, when preceding

NATIONAL FOUNDRY IN LEHIGH.
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

pouring forth a heart-felethinktigiiing to hie
