IFF go for the Ticket -the wiiolh tickkt. Our persona predi lections shall never warp our attachment to principle, nor induce an abandonment of Jtfictusages of the party. We have itni 'fSJyifr0Vlie '!'me we enjoyed thepriv ilegefof voting, pursubd the same course; 'and any different operation of demagogues antldisorganizcrs, shall never swerfc us fromthc faithful performance of our task as on)f the organs of the party. Let the democracy beware of such camelcon sup porters' of our candidates let them trust in ihcirljfown energy, strength, and correct principles and they must triumph in defi ahceof all management, all combination, ana all treacherous friends. Wc say again bewaro of traitors and disorganizes trustsiii your virtuous principles, and you , musttriumph. Sj?Wo wish it distinctly understood that we do not attribute the editorials of the or.Gosliu who are nominally concerned In its,?l)lication. We can generally guess the authors ofarticlcs in neighboring prints; arid inHliis instance wo feel called upon to free' tliesc Printers' Devils from any cc'u suie'ragTlic writer of those editorials is the earneiijdividual who but a very short lime since. offered to sell to us the Sentinel estab iheriHatour own price on a credit o"fen ycarsand a gnarantec of -100 subscribers. Fromwhat motive ho mado the offer wo cannot say: it might have been made to in fluchco'pur voto in the County convention ripr.jtjni"ht have been made to secure our oditdrlalLECrvices for tho reason aliened. tlm?fifrTrcscnt tools wore incapable of even 101IOW ing copy. The Sentinel should there- ffiro1 befthiarded in its malicious insinuations abdujwoing "bought up." Tlicy aro the mcrcjfools of certain masters they must do meigjlirty work and consequently they arc frcSfroin all censure- connected with the politicaicditorials of tho Sentinel, except for the meanness of their vocation as tho buHpugs of others, whoso hissings they arc oounuvio ouey. jgaiUhe "Berwick Sentinel" charges us witliwEederalism. The writer knew the falsityTofitlie charge, and his reckless char actcr irtjpdlitics alono induced him to niako it. V Ln ii p ii in iui..u an never .ireau a companion ... our politicaPprir.ciplcs with any one par - ficularjy this Janus-fae?d oflicc-hunter.. Our first voto was polled on the dav wo reached 21, for Jackson Calhoun-and ever , sin.ee wc have uniformly supported democratic measures and democratic candi dates for ofiicci Has suh been th eourf of tlie lampfirou3 scribbler of the "Senti nel?" How often' has lie wont head-long against regular nominations ? Did ho not write to Uzal Hopkins, pending the passage of the Mammoth Hank Bill "in the Senate, and urgo him to support the measure by every means in his power? Did he not re fuse to attend the Young Men's fourth of July Convention, 1B3G, 'became he was in favor of the Mammoth Hank? And is he not at this time opposing a part of the dem ocratic ticket, which, as a Delegate, he as sisted in nominating, and 'should feel bound to .support? Such fellows should only whisper when they endeavor to build up their own characters Upon false charges against their superiors. Letitm keep cool, or wc Ynay rcluctafitly apply tlie addenda to a nAiihuii.'or feathers, 01150 so copiously inflicted for his "select" intercourse with certain members of a neighbour's house hold. JCJTlic "Sentinel" charges us with as nuining to be 'Director General of this coun ty,' calls us "a stranger," and so forth. Wc never cither claimed or merited a mili tary title, nor did wo ever assume any con trolling power over the will of the pctfplc; hut the Devils of the Sentinel should know that wc were acquainted with the leading politicians of this county wfiilo they were enjoying that minority which their incapa city to publish a newspaper would render both agreeable and befitting at this lime. g'yLetthe Democrats of Columbia coun ty beware of Wolves in Sheep's cloihing of those who profess correct piinciplcs, but who oppose Fruit and Me Williams. They have sinister motives and they have been instigated to this disorganizing course from those sectional feelings which were warm ed into malice from Hie part which Mr. Fruit took in the Removal question. Let every democrat who.apprccialcs and would preserve tlie principles and ancient usages of the party, put his solemn veto upon their base designs, and thus show thu power of tho ballot-box in preserving uhirtn and har mony, the forcrunn'c'rs of certain triumph to our pUrly and Our candidates. THE CRISIS. There arc some politicians, particularly the bank whigs and anti-masons, who in the present emergency of our affairs, are pulling and whining. They fear to meet tho evil; they shrink from a conflict with the Bank and its power to oppress; they humbly beg for terms, and talk of expedi ents to soften tho asperity of the enemy. These arc (he cowards of the day, and such men were the tories of the revolution. They are the tcuiporiziiiL' politicians men who would fell their lib lb-right for a iness of pottage mock patriots, in whom selfish ness is another name for meanness, and cauiion another name for cowardice. The crisis hasarrivptl. TIIF. PEOPLE MUST EITHER SUBMIT TO THE BANK, OR THE BANK SUBMIT TO THE PEOPLE. A free and sovereign people can and will make no concessions they make n'J terms they insist upon their rights they know and they will inaiiltain them. The sovereign power which Gov. Ritncr lias transferred to the Bank must bo repeal ed, and who will be injured I The threats of the Bank aro futile the predicted evils of the Bank 'men arc imagi nary. They are chimeras got up by fear and interest.' How is it possible., that by reducing tho banking capital to what it was when we had a specie currency, we can bo ruined? Is the drun'ksrd. ruined by being made sober ? Reeling in intemperance, he may tell you so himself, but none but a drunkard or a fool will believe him. Tlje arguments of tfic Bank and its advocates aro not suited to a sober community. They may bo received by those intoxicated with the" golden dream of money-makers, spe"cu lators and gamblers, but an upright matter-of-fact people cannot be reached or influen ced by them. The people are preparing to elect representatives whoso honesty, wisdom and firmness will represent their constituents. I hey will proceed in the work, guided by wisdom. They will strip tho bank of its ill-gotten powpr, and pro vido for tho common good. Can this not bo done? Who will venture to assert tha't it cannot? None but monarchists and bank aristocrats. 'Tis they who fear tho people they have ever held tho opinion that the people arc unfit to govern themselves. Did Thomas Jefferson fear the people? Wcro ho living would he shrink from trusting to their wisdom and firmness? Would ho hesitate to abide by their decisions ? A little thoiiht will convince eveiv re , III Ull 111! lllilll, UliU III lUlll'nu ill tho (lllllCIII- . . 7 . . . Blirr0U11,i0l. renuires 1 ., ;i,tv oflTort, when we consider the jnitncnso power of tho people and all that is desired can be uflectod without producing , ' ' I?"' X t,fian(.r 0f the Fuitid Slates Bank were repealed to-morrow, there would remain twfnty.t!irfe millions of banking capitid in the slate six .millions more than there was in 1S35, .when the currency was sound. Supposc alaw should bo passed to-morrow, requiring all the banks to increase their capital, or diminish their., loans, so.as that thcloans should bear a reasonable and just proportion to their mean's of paying their debts, and that bankers, like other men should bo made Jiablc to pay .the just de mands against iTiem who would he hurl? Would they throw up their charters? There is no danger, and if they did, their places would bo immediately supplied by institu tions foil tided ltpnn a sound basis. It is preposterous to believe that any banking institution, gpverned. by reasonable men and sound views, would stagger at such provisions. There is, in fact no difficulty iti'the way of restoring; to the people their rights, but that which interested individu als, governed by their fears, or mercenary motive.1, conjure up to deceive the people. Tho condition of tho people is sound all tho management of the bank has not been able to mislead them, with the exception of a few in Philadelphia, Eric and Beaver. Their industry, enterprise and honesty IiafQ sustained them and do sustain them, in defiance of the misrule of the Bank'. Their real strength is proved by their ca pacity to.. go onward, notwithstanding tho weight of mischief which the bank has pla ced upon litem, and it will be further pro ved by the ca;.e with which it will shake it ofi". A democratic administration, sustain ed by a vast majority of the people, and an imated with the love of freedom and equal rights, will be amply adequate to bring back the government to its republican trrck, and restore to the people the sovereignty which Governor Ritncr ha3 transferred to the Bank. Pa. Jleporler. John C. Calhoun, it is confidently sta ted, has acknowledged himself favorable to the plan recommended in the President's Message, fof the keeping of the Public Moneys. IJc . proposed the, samo system two years since! in lha.Senate. The Bal timore Merchant & Reformer, the organ. of tlie south, and tho advocate ot its interests, holds (he following significant language in ldalion to the Message. It will be seen, that Wlnggish, as its principles arc, this print gives the Message credit lor its per spicuity of style. Lancaster Intelligencer. "Wo do not, at present, propose to anal izc the President's Message, but shall con lluc ourselves to some general observations, merely. It certainly contains matters of great weight, which well deserve the calm est consideration of congress'. I t is written with considerable ability, in a moderate and conciliatory temper, and presents', with al, a fair and explicit issue before the coun try. Whatever may be thought of the wis dom of its views, or the expediency of its recommendations, if would be unfair to say that it did not contain aclearaud unqualifi ed avowal of the opinions of the govern ment. The credit of perspicuity and cx plicitncss cannot bo denied to it, as it re commends, in plain terms, a positive and total divorce of tho government from all banking institutions, and the establishment of a Treasury system as the instrument to receive and disburse tho public revenue." Settings of Congress. One of the Ion jjest sessions of Congress was held at Phila delphia, from Nov. 13th, 1797, to July lOlh, 1708, being 210 days.

When tho Company runs a stage from Northum berland to Wilkesbarrc, the mail can arrive at Nor thumberland from Harrisburg by 11 o'clock, A.
