,
The 'prelithinar3i,County. meeting of the Re
publican party wil4be held on the coming Sat
urdaY, at the public house of Mr. B. P. Belsel
.Upper Macungie. We trust. that the call of
the Epoutive County Committee may insure
a genera and full attendance from all parts
of -the county. The friends of a cause, glori
ous in principle, and this fall, destined to be
crowned with a signal victory, may effect good
by mutual consultation, receive encouragement
to effort in the presence of others, who testify
by their presence and their numbers, that
that they are up and doing, and prepared for
the effort; which the election should call forth.
At times it has been our lot to attend county
meetings, when we were almost disheartened
by the slimness of the attendance. We are
glad to say that things have changed for the
better for the prist•year or two, and believe
that the Change for the better is still going on.
Let it be telt, that there is a Republican party
in the county of Lehie and that the party is
a power, , equal to the•necessities demanded by
victory. - We enter the contest,. confident of
.eleetibg a President and Governor. Our suc
cess here Mir candid enemies must acknow
ledge. Let the State and national victories
impending inspire us with the determination
to achieve victories in our Congressional Dis
trict, in our Legislative District, and upon our
County -ticket. We elected a Congressman in
1858; we believe we Can elect one again this
fall. We elected a Republican member of
Assembly in 1858 and 1859, from the counties
of Lehigh and Carbon; we believe that this
fall- we cum elect bOth members. We have
been partially successful with the County tick
et for the past two years and believe, that we
can do better in the election before us than at
any time in.the past: To accomplish this re
quires effort, incessant, untiring, general and
judiefoup effort. That effort may not call for
the greatest amount of display, but is effort,
which'may: be still rewarded in its results.—
Let then the.Republioans of Lehigh meet in
council, disposed to forget everything but the
success of the cause. Let there be a gene
ral attendance of the Republicans of the
~ CountY'On'the coming Saturday.
HICICHA . N Ms FIELD.—On Tuesday
evening last,. the Hon. John Hickman, the
able and distinguished Representative from
the Choker district of this State, a supporter
of Eixchtinan, in 1856, in Concert Hall, at
Philadelphia, made his first political , speech
.Itibchalf of the, Republican cause. Mr. Wok-
Feaa ip a held, honeit and resolute man and
‘,during the last. few years of his Congressional
career,; has taken a position entirely indepen_
'dent , of parties. His +course, generally, has
been in conjunction with the Republicans. In
'1858,1e was elected to Congress in a Repub
lican district, although there: wore two other
candidates, each.of • them a regular nominee,
/the one a candidate of the Republican Party,
andihe other ,the nominee of the . Democratic
Party. We believe, that his
,idection, this fall,
ti
is ceitainty and that by an overwhelming
majority. On Eriday last, a largo assealblage
of the Republicans, of Chester County, was
held at West Chester, said to number as many
as twenty.five thoUsand, and was addressed
by Col: Andrew - G. 'Curtin, Hon. Thomas P.
Ctuipbell, and the Hon. John Hickman.
REPORT: or TEll COVODE COMMITTEE.—The
House ordered 30,000 copies of the report of
'the Covode Investigating Committee. The
work is from the press and ready for deliv
ery to tile public.' We understand, that Mr.
" ends% the principal agent of .tho President
,in. his villainous iniquities, has refused to de
liver the : work to the printer of the 'House,
under the pretext of some alleged dispute.—
We suppOse that this is a trick of the Govern
ment to keep.frorn•the people before the elec
tion the exposure of its iniquities. Let us by
all means have the' report. A Democratic
Congressman, being asked by a Republican

They do, not wish to.aid in electing Brecken
ridge. They oppose all efforts to feria a fusion
`electoral ticket tieket in'their Stites with .the
friends of. Breckenridge. The inevitable 're
sult Of their efforts must be to elect Lincoln
President.
,At the same time they are loud in
their elaiins of the regularity of their nomina
tione,ind,tbeir conformity to party usages and
puStonno, , ..They represent the Democratic par
ty and , all others are rebels. What then
can be their present object ? kis to capture
and take eharge of the Democratic organiza
tion and to control it for future nominations.
1n1864, it is alleged, that the Demobracy must
unite under the lead of Douglas, and their fa
vorite chieftain will then be elected President.
But the supporters of Breckenridge are 'also
fighting the same desperate game. Which is
most likely to succeed? We believe, and we
think' that we have reasons for believing, that
in this desperate game, . : the supporters of
Breckenridge will be successful. Let us enu
merate a few reasons for thinking so. In the
United• States Senate Breckenridge is support
ed by all isee Democratic Senators, save two,
Senator Pugh of Ohio and Douglas himself.—
' In the House of Representatives at least four
fifths of the Democratic Representatives are
opposed . to Douglas and in favor of Brecken
ridge: The-changes since the nomination
have been in favor of Breehenridge. The
Southern Democracy has become more and
woe consolidated in support of Breckenridge,
and by the time of election, we believe that
there will be loft scarce a relic of a Douglas
party in the Southern States. Already in the
State of Georgia, where it is claimed that Dou
glas has many able and influential supporters,
his friends have united with the supporters of
Bell upon a common electoral ticket. • In the
Northern States the changes have been like
wise adverse to Douglas. Newspapers, which
at first supported Douglas, now support Breck
enridge. We have heard of no changes the
other way. Breckenridge was nominated and
will be supported in pretty solid column . by
Democratic States. Douglas was nominated
by delegates from Republican States and the
utmost, that his running can, do, will be to
divide the Democracy in States,' already Re
publican. As to principles avowed, we be
lieve, that:the supporters of Douglas are stem
ming . the current against the pro-slavery ten
dencies of the Democratic party. Douglas took
the lead, in repealing the Missouri Compro
mise, in making the Democratic party a victori
ous party as a consequence in all the Southern
States, save one, and consigned it to hopeless
defeat in the Northern States, in many of which
the party' had been before victorious. The
Douglas movement is a rebellion against the
tyranny of the South over the Democratic
party. It occupies the same relative 'position
in the Democratic party, as does the Republi
can party in the politics or the nation. We
believe in view of these facts, when the fall's
election has made them more palpably evident,
that the Democratic party must unite, if unite
it will, finally under the lead of those, who now
support Breckenridge, who are true to the
past tendencies of the party, and who control
the Democratic States. Can Senator Douglas
expect, in view of his past bitter denuncia
ciationof the Republican party, and his treach
ery to the North, that the Republican States
will, rally to • his support and make for him a
powerful party, which he could not expect to
muster in •the Democratic ranks? Most mew- ,
edly not. The Republican party is too power
ful for such a surrender and the position of
Douglas himself but vindicates their past ac
tion. Judge Douglas then, we believe, must
be crushed out. Where then will his friends
go? Many will go back to the Democratic
fold. Many will land in the bosom of the Re
publican party. Many have landed there al
ready, John Hickman among the more noted,
and many others are on the way. 'That Judge
Douglas will 'ever be a Republican, we will
not venture to assert.' We have no confidence
in his honesty. Judging from the past, he
might become' a Republican or a violent pro
slavery Democrat. If he eyer does become a
Republican, it will be because of the circum
stances, in which he finds himself, and he
will then be about as sincere a Republican as
has been a sincere Democrat. We repeat then,
that we have no objections to seeing aDouglas
Democrat. Many of them are sincere. They
have felt the lash, the South has held over the
Democratic party and have rebelled. The Re
publican party has felt the lash, the South has
held over the Union and therefore have rebel
led. Many of these Douglas Democrats we
expect to take by the hand and welcome into
our party, if not this fall, at least in the course
of a year or so. Such as have pluck •enough
to stick to their colors and not ignobly surren
der them to the power, which has controlled the
Democratic party and which eventually must
control it again, we are certain, would make
.good Republicans and therefore would be
welcomed to our ranks.

ACQUITTAL or JUDGE TERRY. —By latest in
telligence from California, we learn, that
Judge Terry was acquitted of the murder of
Broderick, under the following circumstances.
The trial took place at Marion, and shows a
collusion between the prosecution and defen
dant to procure a. verdict of acquittal.. The
witnesses, establishing the guilt of Terry, were
all on their way from San Francisco to Marion
in a small boat. They wore delayed e 9 that
they did not reach the court house until about
12 o'clock. Judge Hardy opened the court at 9
A. M. The District Attorney announced that
his witnesses had not made their appearance.
The case went to the jury without a word of
testimony, and, under the charge of Judge
Hardy, a verdict of acquittal was rendered be
fore 10-o'clock;

We ¬ believe, that a formidable number of

those, .. who threaten disunion. We judge of
the iir6sent and the future by the past, and so
judging;: we can arrive at no other conclusion;
*than that the cry of
.disunion is a political
trik, Fug-a,boo, 'to frighten the wavering
and the timid front the principles, which their
consciences approve. Why is this cry of
disunion usually heard upon the eve of an elec
tion? Why is it that letters, containing those
threats, are simultaneously brought to public
attention in Northern papers. If their authors
were in earnest, they would keep such threats
to themselves until the happening of the con
tingency,. requiring their execution. We be
lieve, that the interests of the people of all
sections of the Union would prevent a dissolu
tion. Southern slave-holders are not so fool
ish, as to precipitate a political revolution,
which could only bring the Canada line near
er to their borders. We believe that there is
no power, which could effect a dissolution and
that the patriotism of an indignant people
would instantly crush to earth the traitorous
band, that would attempt to topple to its foun
dations that glorious edifice of Republican Gov
ernment, which the blood of out forefathers
purchased, and their efforts erected and conse
crated. But what reason has any portion of
the people to talk or even meditate disunion
before an open encroachment upon their
rights? Let a Republican Administration be
inaugurated, let it bo tried and the sincerity
of its professions be tested, and then only let
disunion he talked of. Taut the cryof disunion
requires no notice, The peOple will be deceiv
ed by it no longer. The trick 'is played out,
The people demand an honest, competent and
faithful Administration, and demand the elec
tion of " honest Abe Lincoln." And elected
he will be, and we have no fear for the conse
quences. •
DOUGLAS STATE MASS MEETING.—A State
Convention of the friends of Douglas and
Johnson in Pennsylvania, was held at Harris
bUrg, on Thursday last. The Convention was
called to order by Richard Haldeman, Esq.,
member of tho Douglas National Executive Coin
mittee from Pennsylvania. The Convention
permanently organized by the appointment of
Hendricks B. Wright of Luzorne, as perma
nent Chairman. Lehigh county was repre
sented by Gen. Geo. Fry, J. A. Kramer and
Robert E. Wright, Esq. Resolutions were
passed, condemning the action of the State
Central Committee upon the question of an
electoral ticket, demanding a reversal of its
action at the next meeting of the . Committee,
and resolving that in case this should not be
done, the Douglcs members of the Committee
act as the State Central Committee of the State,
and that a call be issued for a State Conven
tion to determine upon an electoral /ticket.—
The members of the Convention in their
speeches claimed to represent the regular nom
inees of the party and expressed a desire to
avoid any violation of the precedents and
usages of the party. An address will he is
sued to the Democracy of the State.
WIDE AWAKE CIXIIS.—The several Wide
Awake Clubs now formed, or those about to
form themselves into Clubs can.procuro uni•
forms at Albany, by addressing the Secretary
of the Albany Central Wide Awake Club, Ira
Porter, Jr., or on application by a letter, and
an enclosure of two letter stamps, a circular
with engraving of uniform, which will be
furnished at $1.55, $1.75 or $2, as parties may
select,'the circular explaining difference in the
uniform.
All Wide Awake Clubs formed or forming
are requested to send names of nfficors, for the
purpose of arranging a plan of correspondence
for the coming campaign.
Republican papers are requested to give
publicity to the above information.
PROSPECTS IN THE STATE.-T)10 reports from
different parts of the State, are most flattering
for the success of Lincoln, Hamlin and Curtin
in the old Keystone. It is said, that Lancas
ter will roll up a larger majority than she over
gave,before, that the same is the case in Ches
ter, an that Franklin will give a majority of
800. Buchanan, we believe, had a majority in
the last-named county, in 1856. The 'Berks
and Schuylkill Journal says, that, in old
Berke, the opposition will succeed about as
well as in the Schwartz campaign. Old Berks.
let it be remembered, gavo nearly 7,000 ma
jority for Buchanan, in 1856. Tho majority
for Lincoln can not be loss than fifty thousand
in the old Keystone, fusion or no fusion.
TUE POLITICAL CONVENTIONS OF NEW ;TER
SEY.—The friends of Breckenridge * and Lane ;
of Douglas and Johnson, and of Bell and Ever
ett met 'in Trenton, on Wednesday last, in
three separate conventions. The Breckenridge
convention adopted an electoral ticket, with
three Brpckkridge men on it, three Bell men,
and one Douglas man. The Douglas conven
tion adopted a straight Douglas electoral tick
et and voted against any fusion with the sup
porters of Breckenridge. The friends of Bell
also adopted an electoral ticket, two of the mem:
bore of which are on the ticket, adopted by
the Breckenridge convention. A fusion with
the other parties was voted down.
ANOTHER GOVERNMENT DEFAULTER.—Major
Sutherland, quarter-master of the Marine
Carps, has proved a defaUlter to the .Govern
ment to the amount of $30,00. This is but
another of the many constantly occurring in
stances of Goiermnent swindling by the offi
cials of James Buchanan. A more, corrupt
body of officials has been unknown iu the his
tory of the past AdMinistrations of the Gov
ernment. And yet a party, that has placed
Mich men in power, is asking at the hands of
the people for a fresh lease of power. Will
not the people, in view of the past, demand a
wholesome change?

My friends arid . fellow-citizen's t. I have no
voice to express to you the feelings of grati
tude-that swell up from my heart, On this ovi
donee of your kindness. [Here the multitude
sent uir a torrent of cheers; and order wits
loudly called for.] Mr, Curtin continued;_ it
can scareely be expected that order can be 15i or that .the voice of any one man is
strong enough to be heard over such a mein.:
tude of people, and especially when a iida• of
liquid fire is passing through cur midst.—
[That's so, and cheers.]
• Feltow-citizens—l-have heard much of the
dissolution of the union of these State's, but it
has been from timid men who have feared that
men could dissolve the Union. It is in vain
for dissenting politicians, fbr fanatical gentle
men of the South to cry dissolution of the
Union. It was never formed and fashioned to
be divided by 'such means. It-was formed for
higher, loftier and holier purposes. Let no
man charge the People's party of Pennsylva
with being in faVor of a dissolution of this
Union. [No, no.] I roll back with indigna
tion the imputation in the face of the man
who dares make it. The fact is that the Peo
ple'if Party , of Pennsylvania is now, and ever
has been, loyal to the Union. [Cries of good,
good, and cheers.] Paralyzed . be the hand
that could be ruthlessly laid upon the Consti
tion, and palsied be the tongue that could be
venomous enough to utter n syllable against it.
[Thunders of applause, cheers, roll of drums,
and waving of flags.] •
'Humble man as •I am, if I ever supplied
that the party which has placed me in nomi
nation was in favor of dissolving the Union of
these States, and of the Constitution, I would
resign my nomination quick ae light. (Cries
of good and cheers.] I say the man who dares
declare that the People's party of Pennsylva
nia is not loyal to the Union, tells what, in the
living lighter day, is false and untrue, I Chiiers. I
Fellow-citizens: You have done much for
the development of the material wealth of
Pennsylvania. You have stretched your iron
arms into the interior of the State, and you
have developed the treasures of the mountains,
anti brought toyour City the products of the
valley and the far-off woods. To produce per
feet harmony, between the interests of the
State and the country, and that kindness of
feeling which should exist between the people
of the State and their great metropolis, you
need but one thing, and that is protection to
your labor, [here the applause was absolutely
deafening,] and there is but one way to get
protection to your labor; by developing the
power, your wealth, increasing your prosper
ity and enlarging your resources as a State ; it
is this, the partisan power at Washington must
ho turned out, and better men put there.—
(Cries of " do it," "we'll do it," and
cheers.) Let no miscreant cry of disunion
turn freemen from the path of their first duty
to their State and to themselves ; (Cries . of
we're wide awake.) Ever loyal to - the Union,
let the People's Party of Pennsylvania strong
in their might resolve most determinedly to
have protection to their labor.
The advancement of the States depends
.upon the full development 'of their wealth,
which at once progresses into the ripened pros
perity and happiness of the people. [Cheers
and clapping of hands,] It is for this devel
opment that we have arrayed onrselvesagainst
the tyranny of usurpation, and already have
we crippled the giant that would prostrate the
people, by shutting their mills and their man
ufactories.
Already the dawn is (milting after this long
night of darknesq. The sweet song of grati
tude begins to fall in the sweet accents of har
mony on our enraptured ears, and as sure as
the bright light of the progress ot• civilization
has banished the gloomy darkness of igno
rance, so will we hurl front power those parti
zans that .have clouded the prospects of the
people of our nation at large. (Greet cheers.)
That Constitution we so much admire and
cherish was made in this City ; the Declaration
of Independence was first written, and declar
ed, and approved in this City, and from that
time to the present the people of Philadelphia
and of the State at large, have ever been loyal
to both of them. [Renewed applause.] Penn
sylvania, situated midway between the North
and the Smith. has been appropriately styled
the Keystone State of the Federal arch, and I
may say, without fear of contradiction that the
names appropriated to the geographical fea
tures of the country stand witness to 'the con
servative ideas of its people. Through thdad
vancenient of the interests of labor and protee
in our State, the Peoples party will triumph.
[Cries of that's so.]
Fellow-citizens: I said on the 22nd of Feb
nary that Iwould bear the hamper of my part
from Lake Erie to the Delaware river. 1 have
only reversed, the line of march. The banner
is unfurled. lam in the field. It is the bond
that I shall carry it to Lake Erie, and I will
do it. [Cheers.) I will be faithful to the cov
enant and the conditions of my contract.
Let other men do as they will in the face of the
intelligent and honest people of my native
State, and I will tell them all the principles I
advocate and the measures they may expect
from me. Now, follow-citizens I thank you
for this testimonial of your kindness, and bid
you a very good night.,
Mr. Curtin then retired amidst deafening
cheers.
THE PENNSYLVANIAN FOR BRECKENRIDGE.—
The Pennsylvanian of Philadelphia, after a
lopg interval of non-intervention in the fam

who were present, proceeded to cut down the
pole. •
MIMI' past three o'clock the Prince.Will
iam.Calvar7, Capt. Thornton commanding, en
tend the village, and ranged themselves in the
neighborhood of the pole. They wore follow
ed by a company of about forty strong, under
command of Captain Fitzhugh and Major Car
ter, who, paying no attention whatever to the
horsemen, quietly formed in a hollew vinare
around the pole, facing inwards. Whilst this
Company was surrodnding the pole,.Mr. Joseph
T. Jadney advanced to the captain of the troop
of horse and claimed protection for. his proper
ty, upon which the pole stood.
At the word of command, James W. Jack
son of Fairfax, a stalwart yeoman. sprung for
ward and gave the first blow. Others followed,
redoubling stroke on stroke. Paring the time
there was no interruption, save the Republi
cans and others, who stood at corners near by,
would cry out, ' Ain't your axe dull? Hope
you're having a good time," &0.. In a few
minutes:however, there was a cry of " Stand
from under !" and the pole came to the ground.
Instantly the crowd gave three elicits, when
the Republicans responded by " Three cheers
for Hamlin." All were quickly at work on
the fallen pole, and in less time than it takes
to tell it was chopped up, and the pieces car
ried off.. The flag was sent to Brentsville.
So soon as the flag pole was leveled, Captain
Fitzhugh ordered " about face" and his com
pany marched off, saluted as they went by
mingled jeers and applause.
During the 'evening there was some excite
ment, and a personal recontre took place be
tween Colonel Browner and Joseph T. Janney
in which the latter was ennsiderbaly injured.
The crowd cleared away during the' evening
and at sundown all was quiet.
The Republicans say they will put another
pole on the same site.
A report reached here to-night, through par
ties who wore at Occoquan yesterday, that the
greatest excitement prevailed at that place
when they left ; that several Republicans hail
been attacked, and severe tights resulted. One
statement is that Mr. Janney, a Bell and Ever
ett man—an old settler in Virginia, a large
property holder, and the owner o( the land on
which the liberty polo was erected—was bra
tally assailed and beaten because he asserted
that he had the right to declare his own prin
ciples upon his own homestead, and to permit
others to exercise their rights within his own
grounds if it pleased him to do so.
Narrow Escape./row Death .—On the Indiana
and Cincinnati railroad, a pleasure party rode
a short distance, when they alighted and stood
around on the small platform, covering it com
pletely, waiting to see the cars move before
leaving for the woods. , Just as the train start
ed, the skirt of one of the young ladies, who
happened to be standing close td the train,
caught on a nut on the side of one of the ears,
throwing her from her feet. Very finiunately
the train *as moving quite slowly at the time,
or the consequences might have been more se
rious. As it was, the young lady was pretty
roughly wed. A stout man in the party, see
ing her condition, at once raised her ip his arms
and pulled with all his. strength, endeavoring
to tear her loose, but the skirt was both strong
and firmly fastened, and not until all the girl's
under-clothing was pulled froM her body and
her dress torn to shreds did he succeed. All
this transpired while the train was moving a
distance of twenty or thirty font. whnn
ductor saw the danger and instantly checked
its motion. Indeed, the girl was not entirely
released until the train had stopped.
_After
the excitement Of. the moment had passed it
was discovered that the soles of both the girl's
shoes, by the, resistance she had offered the
train, had been completely stripped away, leav
ing the uppers upon her feet. Strange to say
she received no serious in] Indianaury. paper.

riqryards Oes is getting to
be so common a thing in California to find
vineyards of eight or ten thousand vines, that
they arc not deemed any more worthy of notice
than a -little patch of a thousand acres of
wheat. So rapid is the increase of Vines, and
the manufacture of wine in that State, that
the day is not distant when ships send with
cargoes (if, needed, we have anything to send,)
from this city, will return freighted with wine
casks ; and California wine will ho as common
in this city as wino from France. It is also
asserted that raisins can be manufactured in
California, and will be as soon as the price of
labor finds a level, corresponding with other

At a meeting of the ladies of Allentown,
held on ihe arming of the 15th of June, the
following resolutions were presented, read,,con
sidered and unanimously adopted.
I?csolved, That, although.the right of voting
is not allowed us, we nevertheless feel as if we
could not remain silent; indifferent or be idle
in the present political campaign,'.on the re
sult of which so much depends; and in.vvhich
the whole country, is now so deeply intere s ted.
Reshlved, That we have fully satisfied our
selves through the developments of ilmso-eall
ed " Covode committee, at .Washin.gtort,. that
the Democratic party has become too extrava
gant, wasteful', corrupt, pc ofligate ; and, that
the welfare of us all demands, that thb reins, of
government should be taken out of their hands.
Resolved, That the Republican Platform
from the beginning° the end meets our heart
felt approbation, and its principles cannot but
cperate most salutary for the welfare of
whole country.
Resolved, That the protipeets of Hueco , with
such candidates, as ABRAHAM LINCOLN; lAN-
N IBA L ITA Al LIN, and Col. A. J. CURTIN, are in
deed cheering, that the victory for them will
be easily won—the friends of freedom in the
Territories, of protection, of American labor
and of the Union are "up and doing." . •
Resolved, That the immediate design of this
meeting is to notify the officers and methbers
of the' Central Republican Club, of Allentown,
that we have prepared by our own bands a
large national flag for them, hoping thereby
to animate and encourage them, to do all in
their power, (though nothing which is not
strictly honest,) for the great and just Repub
lican cause, during the whole of this impor
tant, political canvass. .

REMARKABLE ESCAPE.--TENDER
NESS OF THE COW-CATCIIER.*On Satur
day last, when the second down train on the .
Lehigh Valley Railroad with about two miles
below Mauch Chunk, a little girl .aged about
nine years, was seen on the track by the en
gineer. The 'train, which was going at the
usual rather rapid rate, was not far off when
the little creature was first discovered, and al
though orders were immediaktily given to stop
the train, it was ibund impossible Mdo so in
time, and on. went the iron horse, over the spot
where the little ereature had stood, and • those
who knew of her perilous situation expected
to find, that•she had been killed and perhaps
so mangled, that, her, little form .would be
dreadful to look upon; but such (lid not prove
to he the can't—the cow catcher had been far
more tender than is its wont; it had, with as
much gentleness as it was capable of display
ing, taken up the creature in its iron arm s and
tossed it off, six feet, out of harm's way, and
when the physician came, he could find noth
ing more than a few scratches on ono of the
little girl's ankles. No bones were broken,
'nor were there other wounds, but the girl
was frightened very much.—Easton Express,
