FUSION states the friends of Break ,. d Bell are attempting the a fusion electoral tioket. er has a chance of elec . The utmost, that clan bo . prevent the election of Lincoln e, and then to run the risk of an on of their .candidate in the House of Representatives, or:the'selection by the Senate, in case of a failure of the House to elect, of their candidate for the Vico Presidency, who then becomes Provident of the 'United States. That there can be no union upon principle by the three opposing factions, which resist the election of Lincoln, no one will pretend. The supporters of Breckenridge and Douglas pre- tended to split at Charleston and Baltimore upon principles, upon which there could be no reconciliatiop. The party feud reigning in the Democratic camp has been most bitter mi. since. A hostilits.,...ure bitter than any which ever r ,„ ? ...sucd between opposing political par- ties, now reigns between the two wings of the Democratic party. The same can be said of the Union Constitutional [party, and the two wings of the Democratic party. The Union Constitutional party is the last remnant of the once .powerful Know Nothing party'. the party in the past has incurred the most bitter hatred of the Democratic party and has received the most •bitter censure of Democratic politicians. •The Union Constitutional party again denounces the political doctrines of the followers of both Breckenridge and Douglas.— How under such circumstances a union could be even thought of, is difficult to ipnceive.— With corrupt politicians however, almost any thing is possible, if a measure will secure the spoils. As such a fusion has been attempted. It is a combination of corrupt cliques, factions and the remnant of effete political organiza tions,, each hopeless of a victory, for the pur pose, if possible, of securing the spoils of the general government. With such men erinoi plea are nothing; the spoils are everraing. It is a grand scheme of political r ambling, in which the prominent questions before the peo ple aro to be ignored, the riople to bo kept in the dark, and to be drawn into the support of something they knowdot what; or of something they condemn. To is an attempt to elect I& President by tle voles of men, who are not really in . r.vor of the 'candidate. Douglas men art) .* help in electing Bell, whilst they to opposed to him, and Breckenridge men ptc , aid in getting electoral votes for Don e's, whilst they are most bitterly opposed to Wm. It is an attempt to elect a 'President, who is in a minority with the people. Th..t such an attempt, even if agreed 'upon by po liticians, cannot meet with favor with the peo ple, we are fully assured. The votes of honest citizens are not be bartered and sold like pro duce. The masses are honest. Some may be deceived, but all cannot. The fusion attempt will disgust the honest and intelligent, and many will leave their party organizations in disgust, to join the Republican party, the only Political organization of the times, that seeks no, fusion, that presents an undivided and unite pd. front, and has well-defined principles, around which all its followers rally. Already in the State of New York, the masses who sup ported Fillmore in 1856, together with nearly all their party organs and honest leaders, have resolved to aid in the election of Abraham Pincoln, and but a few corrupt politicians are left to sell the party to the adherente of Dou glas. The fusion electoral ticket in the State of New York is said to have ten Bell men on the list, and yet Douglas Democrats contend that these very men are Douglas men, and that in accepting position as electors from the Douglas Convention, which placed them is nomination, they ,sre,pledged to support Douglas and Dou glas only. Will honest Bell, consent to such a cheit f 'Most assuredly not. And so we might 4tlfer to 'the fusions in other• States between "Bell and. Breckenridge. A partylmd far bet ter suffer defeat by preserving firmly its par ty organization, than to attempt a doubtful vic tory by unholy and unnatural combinations with other"pttirties with which it has no affin ity. It is attempting upon a national scale the " Bell-hommer system, so much spoken of, at times past in our own county. It must fail. Defeat is inevitable end it must certainly crush out the Democratic party, which has so long governed the country. What new polit ical party will arise from the ashes of the ex ploded Democratic . party, the future mint, 'determine; 0:7 - At the Republican mass meeting in St. Clair County, 111., among the banners borno in procession was one—" Here are the Democrats of atter which folloWed a large party of men'who voted for Buchanan, but will now vote for Lincoln. • Ed egIS Tha:ltait're heKnow Nothing par • ty met at Baltimore in the Convention which placedloli aniMerett in nomination for , the Presidency 'arittTice Presidency. The party had long since found its grave in the Northern States. In the*SOuthern States, owing to the foot, that there wasno oilier opposition to the Democracy, it etill continued a lingering exist once, and at present has a few representatives in our House of Representatives at Washing ton. Owing to their weakened condition in the Northern States, they have been compell ed to sell out their stook in trade to the Dem ocratic, party at such prices as the market will afford. This year owing to the divided condi-_ tion of the Democracy, the prices aro some what higher than they have boon for some years past. In the State of Now York the Know Nothings have combined with the Dou glas party ; in the State of New Jersey with the Breckenridge party, and in the State of Pennsylvania, we suppose, they will yet com bine before the election with the Douglas par ty. Thus the Democratic party, which has been so loud and bitter in its denunciations of ' the American party, is at last compelled to , make an alliance with its ancient enemy.— We have no fears as to the result. We are confident of electing Lincoln over all his eno• miss combined. But whilst the attempt is made to bring about so unholy an alliance, we wish to remind the honest voters of the country, of the former denunciations by Dem ocrats of Know Nothingism, and of their pres ent willingness to unite with the very par ty, for denouncing which in times gone•by they claimed special favor and consideration at the hands of the public. Will honest foreigners bear this in mind ? Whilst Democratic stump speakers and editors are attempting to fasten upon Republicans, the odium of Know Noth ingism, they are secretly attempting to com bine with the very party, they condemn.— Consistency, is a jewel and honesty, may we well exclaim, is at a sad discount in the Dem ociatic ranks. A Fire-Eater on the Douglas Tioket. Hersehel V. Johnson, the candidate for the Vice Presidency on the Douglas Democratic ticket, in a speech made in Philadelphia in 1856, was charged with having said, that it was better, " that capital ,should own its labor than hire it," In other words all men, who labor, whether white or black, instead of re ceiving an adequate salary for their labor, should, as is the case with the slaves in the South, be owned by their employers or mas ters. In a letter in hie defense written to the North _American, Mr. Johnson denied the charge, but admitted that ho had used the fol lowning language : " The great, contest that was now being wag ed—call it by what name they would—was a contest between capital, on the one hand, and labor on the other ; and the only question was, whether it was better for the SoughOn States to own their labor or to hiro their labor." The affirmative of the. question was taken by him. We believe that this places him in no better position. It rests upon the theory that the laborers of the country, whether white or black are the "mud-sills" of Society and should bo owned by masters; that slavery is right and the normal condition of all So ciety. It will be recollected that after the ad, mission of California into the Union and the adoption of the compromise measure of 1850, Herschel V. Johnson was ono of a number of leading men of the South, who were in favor of a dissolution of the Union. And yet th•K is the man for whom Northern Democrats 48 k the suffrages of the menses. As such Hamlin not a Fred-Trader. Demo,...atic journals aro circulating unblush ingly the inl.ehood,' kn o wn to be such, that Hannibal the Ropublietn nominee for the Vine Presidency is an on +and out Free-tra der. The Editors of stv.bdournals know that M r . Hamlin avowed l t iozelf, upon being sere poded by the citizen/ of Washington on the °c ession of his nonynation, in favor of such a tariff, as will ati the languishing manufactur ing interests ,/f the country. If we mistake not similar sentiments wore avowed in his let ter of n ieeptance. It is further known that Mr. Famlin was a friend of the Merril Tariff bill, and in the Senate of the United States Toted with the other Republican members of that body in favor of the prinoiple of protection embodied in that bill. Whilst such are undo niablo facts, not a word is said about the tariff views of Breckenridge and Lane, and Douglas and Johnson. The first three were members of the Senate and were all opposed to the Mor ril Tariff bill. Mr. Johnson on the Douglas ticket is inclined in the same direction. With such men on their tickets it ill becomes Dem. ocratdto find fault with the tariff views of Re publican nominees. At any rate let the truth bo more closely adhered too. REPUBLICAN NOMINATING CONTENTION.--By a °all of the County Executive Committee it will be seen, that the Republican Nominating Convention of Lehigh county will be hold at the public house of Mr. John Dorney, in South Whitehall township, ob Saturday, September. Bth, at 10 o'clock A.M. As it is all important that a strong ticket should be placed in nomi nation, it is desirable that there should be a strong turn.out of the voters of the county.— Let there be a full attendance and let all have, the benefit of participating in our admirable plan of nominating. The nominations of the Democratic party under the corrupt delegate system, are made by a few self-constituted leaders. With the Opposition of this county, the nominations are made by the people. Lot the people, then turn out in their strength. . YORK. STATE REPUBLICAN CONVENTION.- The State Convention of theßepublican Party of the state of New York was held at Syracuse on Tuesday and Wednesday of last week.— Goy. Morgan was renominated by acclama tion, as was also Lieut. Gov. Campbell. A full electoral ticket was nominated. The Con vention was large; harmonious, enthusiastic and hopeful.' The resolutions pledge the State of New York, as sure for Lincoln and Hamlin, whatever be the combinatins or fu sions made to defeat him. The home of Gov ernor Seward will not prove faithless to. the Republican party, on the eve of its impending great national victory. TUE ALLENTOWN DEMOCRAT AND COL. CUR-• TIN.—Tho Allentown Democrat of last week contains an extract from some Democratic Journal of the interior of the State, falsely charging Col. Curtin with ridiculing the Penn sylvania. Dutch. The editor of the Democrat knows the charge to be false and hence oven he was not brazed-faced enough to do more than simply transfer the mendacious extract to his coluinns without comment. Why-cannot Democratic Editors exhibit some show of hon esty in dealing • with a political opponent. Hon: Homy M t paller:•' - I perceived by an adveitieement. week's Friedensbote, that there wag 'to be a Know Nothing, or,' as the party now Styles itself, .& Union Meeting, in Allentown one•day last'weik. Among the speakers who were to address tti-nieeting I perceived the' name of the Hon. Henry M. Fuller. Who is this peat lest adventurer, who is now traversing die State and denouncing the members of the .People's party as Abolitionists ? Must of your renders will, perhaps, remember tho memora ble contest for the Speakership of the • House of Representatives at Washington for, the Thirty-fourth Congress. The candidates were:: Mr. Banks, American Republican; Mr. Aiken, Democrat ; and Henry M. Fuller, straight American. And what was the find of this contest? Henry M. Fuller and his , adherents could not veto for Gov. Banks because he was not American enough ; and yet,' after two months of balloting, Henry M. Fuller and his adherents voted for Gov. Aiken, the Democrat ic candidate, a disunionist of the ,Calhoun School, whom Gon. Jackson would have hung for treason I • This is Henry M. Fuller's Amer icanism—this his conservatism. He could not vote for Gov. Banks because ho was not Amer ican enough, and yet ho could vote for Gov. Aiken, who had never been an American ; ho could not vote for the eloquent Banks because he was not conservative enough, and yet he could vote for Gov. Aiken, a South Carolina disunionist ! Henry M. Fuller is right when he says in his speeches that ho knows no North, no East, no West—but when he says ho knows no South, ho speaks that which is false, for all his sympathies are with the dieunionists of the South 1 Actions speak louder than words And this is the case with all the Americans par excellence who aro stumping the State for Boll' and Everett. They are false in their pro feisions of Americanism—they are false in their professions of conservatism I In New Jersey they have sold out to the Brookoniidge disunionist; in Now York they have sold out to Mr. Douglas, the vile slanderer of the Amer ican party, the demagogue who pursued Henry Clay to his grave These professed Ameri can Whig conservatives can vote for Douglas, the base libeller of Whig and American States men ; and they can vote for the candidate of the disunioniste, but they cannot vote for Abra ham Lincoln, an old Henry Clay protective .tariff Whig! AMERICAN CONSERVATIVE FUSION, CHEATING AND CONFUBION•—The Douglas men of New York, wishing to carry at least one State for the "little giant," if possi ble, fused with the 801 l and Everett Know Nothings by placing ten Know Nothings on their electoral ticket. The political jugglers who made this attempt at fusion thought they had the matter all right—but, lo I and behold! the Irish and German Democrats begin to kick, and say they will not vote a Know Nothing and Democratic mixed ticket. here-upon the Democratic orators and newspapers come out and toll their Irish and German brethren that these ten Know Nothings arc Know Nothings no longer I This would bervery well, but the Know Nothing papers and orators say that these ten Know Nothings are Bell men,. and will vote for Bell if elected. Now somebody must be cheated awfully, that's certain. Let WI figure up the possible consequences of this fusion, cheating and confusion : Loss of the Irish, German and American vote for said electoral ticket I SALZBURG.

Noaru WRITEIIALL. co COMES OUT FOR LINCOLN. James R. Struth ers Rig., of Mauch Chunk., a 10 - ling rro-nlv , r of the Carbon County Ba, and elected to the State Legislature several years since by the Democracy of Lehigh and Carbon, has come out and declared his intention to support Lin coln, Hamlin and Cnrtin. The change may not only be taken as an index of the political revolution going on in Carbon county, but also of a wholesome change all over the coun try. All the changes are in favor of the Re publican Party. We have yet to hear of a I change of a prominent man in the Free States in favor of the Democratic Party. It would be a very inauspiaious tone to change in favor of the Democratic party, and but very few roar sons could be found for such a change. SIGNS OF TUB limEs.—On Tuesday and Wednesday evenings last, large gatherings of the opposition were held at Norristown and Reading which were addressed by the Hon. John Covode and others. The Meetings aro said to have been the largest known for years in their respective localities. The same is the case with all the meetings in the Eastern por tion of the States, considered in times past the dark corner of Pennsylvania . All the signs of the times indicate that Eastern Penn ' sylvania, including the famous" Old Tenth Legion," will relatively contribute as much to to the success of the Republican party in Oc tober and November next in Pennsylvania as any other portion of the State. GOVENOR REEDER AND THE ALLEENTOWN DEMOCRAT.—The Allentown Democrat of last week asserts that Governor Roeder in his speech at the great Republican 'gathering at Allentown, did not refer to Col. Curtin, the Republican nominee for Governor. The Ed itor could not have listened to the whole of the speech of the Ex-Governor, otherwise he would have known, that Governor Reeder com plimented Col. Curtin in the highest terms as a leader ;well worthy of the hearty support of the Republican party. The editor again must be drawing on his fancy when he states that the Ex. Governor in his speech referred disre spectfully to the Irish. We happened to be near at hand during the whole of the speech and heard nothing of the kind. gar At the recent meeting of . the Bell and Everett Know Nothing State Central Commit tee, the fact became apparent that the leaders of the Bell movement. in our State aro "open for a trade" with either the Brockinridgo or Douglas faction. We cannot eeo the philoso phy of all this humbuggcry. The 801 l leaders in Philadelphia send out handbills and an nounce 801 l and Everett meetings in' Allen town, Eaiton, Wilkesbarre, and other places, while at the same time they are plotting to sell out to one of the Democratio factions 1 • CUSHING ON laimoLN.- 7 llon Caleb Cushirig, President of the Charlston Convention, and Secretary of Waromder President Pierce, pays the following compliment to the abilities of Abraham Lin . coln, the Republican nominee for the Presidency : " Abraham Lincoln is a much abler man than is generally supposed, even in his own party. In his canvass with Douglas he beat him m law, beat him in argument, and beat him in wit :,and the published debates of that canvass will sustain this assertion.", Ate" Read the advertisements of sales in to-' day's . Regiater. tea-Lunch will hereafter be •served• every day, at Gangwer's Saloon. 'Sixty-eight naturalization papers wore granted during the . August Term of the Courts of Lehigh county. • ADJOURNED COURT. ---.An adjou:rned Court will be held at Allentown, on the com ing Monday, September 3rd, for the transac tion of transient business. ERROR.—The marriage notice, contained in last week's Register, of Mr. Allen Keck to Miss Lucinda Backensto, was a mistake. The notice was received through the Post Office. GOING TO THE YORK ENCAMPMENT. —The Allen Rifles of this place, will learn on Monday next for Camp Patterson, to hi hold at York, Pa., via Reading, Harrisburg and Columbia. "BETHLETTEM BANK."—A new bank is about,to be established at Betlikthem with this title, under the free banking law, of last win ter. The capital is to be $50,000 with the privilege' of increasing to $200,000. ler Tho Washington Union Sunday Schifol of Salisbury township, hold their annual Pic- Nic at the Lehigh 'fountain, above S. W. Sny der's hotel, on Saturday next. An address will be- delivered by Rev. A. G. J. Dubs, of Allentown. rOur borough subscribers will please in form us if our Carriers commit any irregular ites in serving their papers. They have strict instructions to deliver them into the dwellings, and if they fail to do so wo would bo thankful for the information. HARVEST HOME CELEBRATION. A" harvest home celebration will be held at Centre Valley, Upper Saucon township, on the coming Saturday, by the citizens of Upper Saucon township. hiusic and addresses will constitute a feature of the celebration. , BUCKS COUNTY POPULATION.—The number of inhabitants in Bucks county has in creased HOMO thirteen thousand since 1850 ; being at the rate of about thirteen hundred a year. The census shows the present popula tion to be 51,828 ; in 1850, it was but 38,902. FOUR THOUSAND I—Republicans of Le high, wo can reaoh this figure, if wo try!— Last year wo polled 3,622 votes for Gen. Kohn, our candidate for Auditor General. We can give Andy Curtin 4,000 if we work. And if wo give our gallant candidate 4,000 votes we give him five hundred majority I RAlN.—Last week wo were favored with a succession of pleasant and at times rather heavy showers. Tho rain will do a great deal of good to the corn crop, which appears at pres ent to promise rather - a scanty harvest. The damage done by the previous drought will how ever be but partially remedied. DISTILLERY SOLD.—Tho Distillery and Mill at Froemansburg, belonging to Messrs, Jones & Schweitzer, was sold by Sheriff Heck man, on Monday evening last, to Solomon Dech, of Hanover township, for $8,525. The proper ty cost its owners about $20,000. Distillery property seems to he bad stock just now, in this section of the state. REPUBLICAN RAT,LY.—The friends of Lincoln, Hamlin and Curtin will have a grand rally in the afternoon and evening of the com ing Saturday, September Ist, at Slatington.— Addressee will be delivered ' by 'Prof. Gregory and Hon. Henry C. Longneeker of Allentown, and E. 11. Rauch, Esq. and Charles Albright, Esq. of Mauch Chunk. ARE YOU ASSESSED? —Republican vo ter I if you have any doubts about yotir name being on the assessor's list, go and see to it without delay. It is often the case that even the names of old residents aro inadvertently left off the list. Remember that all who de sire to vote on the Oth of October next must be assessed ie.o days before the election. STEALING NEWSPAPERS.—They are pretty severe on newspaper thieves in Phila delphia. In the Court of Quarter Sessions last week Judge Ludlow sentenced a young man to an imprisonment fur stealing a newspaper. Now; this proves it is a sin to steal newspapers. What should be done with persons who have taken a paper for each week for years and never paid anything for it ? BALL.—The members of the Allentown Brass Band intend giving a Grand Ball at the Odd Follows' Hall, on Thursday evening, Sep tember 27th, 1860. The friends of the . Band may safely rely that nothing will be loft un done that taste can suggest or labor secure, to contribute to their pleasure. Judging from their former entertainments, wo prophecy a joyful time. DEATH OF II UG II LINDSAY.—CoIs Hugh Lindsay, died at his residence in Lower Heid elberg township, Berke county, on Thursday last at the ago of fifty-six years; , Col. Lind say became known to almost every person in the counties of the Eastern portion of the Stato, through.the part ho took in a number of past Presidential elections, and through his humor ous entertainments which have mado his name a household word in Eastern Pennsylvania. ALLENTOWN SEMINARY. ,. The exam inations of scholars of the Allentown Semi nary will take place on Thursday afternoon next, and in the morning and afternoon of following Friday. The entertainment, attend ing the closing exercises of the session will take place on Friday evening at the Somingy. The friends of the pupils and of the cause3tof education aro requested to attend the ex ina tions and the entertainment. A NEW DAILY.—J. Robley Dunglison, Editor of "The Weekly Leader,' commenced in May last, announces in last Thursday's issue of his purpose to commence (edgily news paper, under the nameof the."Deitg Leader," the first No. of which is to make its first appear ance in a few days. The sheet will be small devoted exclusively to local news, and will be sold at four cents a week. A HINT TO THE. LADIES.—There are some things, which woman persist in doing, which, to say the least, are inconvenient and annoying. They will gather in squads of a half dozen in the market houses, on market days, and with their hoops blocked up the pas sage most completely. If they will gossip in the market places, and we suppose they will as long as they have tongues, they should avoid crowding the throughfares at all events. REPUBLICAN MEETING AT EASTON. —A Republican mass Meeting was held at Easton, on Thursday afternoon last. Address es were delivered to a large assemblage by Col. Curtin and Ex-Governor Reeder. In the even ing a display by the Wide Awakes was pre vented by a heavy rain. The , procession was . compelled to adjourn to the Court House, whore the people were addressed by Philip S. White, Esq. of Philadelphia and Mr. Penniman of Wayne county. SHADED SIDEWALKS.—The pleasure of walking upon well shaded sidewalks is through ly appreciated at this season of the year, when the sun is unmercifully hot, and the air rare ly disturbed with cooling winds. • Their ne cessity is felt, -and not until 'the heat of sum mer is over do as their excellence cease to elicit satisfaction and gratitude. Shade tress beau tify and adorn it town, besides rendering town life supportable during summer, and many would be glad to see them upon every street, lining the sidewalks from one and of the street to the other. The coming fall should bo im proved by those of our citizens who have not yet done so in enriching . the Borough with these admirable tuisistanta in our summer lux uries. • Square. S. iinaloy Jetor, presided ,eve; the meeting. Addresses were delivered by Col. W. M. Boymore and Js. Burns, Pui., of Phil adelphia. These gentlemen oniended all their efforts in converting Repnbikans to the faith of the Union Constitutionoi Party. It appears rather gauge, that they showed no anxiety to turn Democrats from, the error of their ways. It may be recollected. that in 186 thousands of dollars wore espended in the city of Phila-. delphia by the Democratic Party, in keeping up the strait,lit Fillmore, Party in the state. It - was called the side-door movement. The leaders sere_ corrupt and the honest masses were deceived. So transparent a fraud cannot be repeated. Abe Lincoln is the only candi dote, who can be elected by the people, and honest mon, who aro sincerely opposed to the Dqmocratio Party, are not going to run the risk of defeating him in order to elect Brook ' enridgo, Douglas or Joe Lane. Tho platform wris erected for the Party on Market Square liy . a number of prominent Democrats of this Borough. Some of the officers of the meeting Were first brought to the notice of the original Bell mon of the county by officious Democrats of this Borough. Tho original prograinrna had been to have the meeting in front of the Dein ocratic Head Qaters, in Center Square but we suppose for prudential considerations this part of the programme was abandoned. The clap ping at the meeting was done by Democrats. The whole affair was a Democrttmo movement. The people of Lehigh aro not to be deceived by so transparent a cheat, awl if any - others aro of a different opinion, they n :I hind that they will have good reasons to change their mind after the election. All such as aro in favor or helping along the Democratic party will favor the movement, and to all accessions to the 801 l and Everett movement from the Demo cratic ranks we have not a particle of objection. Republican mass' meeting on Monday evening, aa hundreds of your readers-were on the ground in person. It is acknowledged by all to have been the largest meeting ever , assambled in Bethlehem; and I have reason to believe that Col. Curtin has gained at least ten or twelve votes by his clear and manly discussion of the impor tant political measures agitating the country = For instance, a gentleman who styles hic".4 an old line Whig," was heard to remark that for four successive years ho had voted the Demo cratic ticket, but hereafter ho would vote the Republican ticket. , The Democracy of old Northampton held a .county meeting at Easton one day last week, and retolved to,voto the Democratic ticket for Prcsidivit I Well, that's funny I but the funni est parl of ands, that they were not aware of the fact that we have a National Administra tion, a Stato Administration, and a member to repreemt us in the House of Representatives at IVlshington', for they passed all these things by without saying nary word about them.— They did not even say one word about " Our roprisedtative at Harrisburg." Senator Shin del, too, got the cold shoulder. Peter Baldy and Mr. Hilburn, straight Douglas men, at temited•to address the meeting, but they wore not' Mowed to proceed pencebly. They how ovei, amid cries of " put him down," " put libr out," &c., managed to " pitch into the contention."

Ho assumes, as I understand it, that electri city is the generating agent of animal life-per vading and giving health, when properly dis tributed--I-to every living thing—that disease is tho reiiult'of an unequal condition of the sys tem, oa the lack, as I may say, of an equal distribution of the vitalaizing principle. Hence he has slued the idenithat to cure disease, to restore health, ho must restore the equilibrium of the fluid. Ho repudiates drugs and medi einem, which appeal to the stomach, first, and relies upon the subtle fluid, which is his chief, agent to rawly° the causes of disease.
