TUK COVIITT TICKET
tin Democratic oeunty ticket U elaetad
in CehMttria by majorities from 100 to 800.
Ikeler's Majority will ba the large*!, Lee
will have about <OO, and Eyerly will per
tiapa have move than 100. The contest has
bean one of the most violent that ba* taken
place in many year*, and the desperate and
rackle** guerilla* carried their disorganiza
tion to the most dishonorable extent.
Tbraagbout the campaign the most bate de
caption wa* attempted to be practised upon
lbe people, and the most glaring falsehood
ainhlushingly belched eat. This crusade a
atainat the ticket at lat fall wholly into the
band* of men whose only weapon t* low
•ourrilily { end who having no private char
stoler themselves, feel only malice and envy
toward any man who ba*. For the blaok
guatd and rowdy know nothing or the pro
prieties of life which hold personal charac
ter as a thing ol sacred value; and false
. hood ia to such the same as truth—if i 1
serves their end.
<1 wae only because the better moral sense
! the community revolted at this (oul dese
cration of all decenoy, and safety to the
proprieties of life—this trade in filth end be
spattering with mire—that we find the res
ult aa it is. For unfortunately this thing
came from men who oall themselves Demo
crats, and from those who are aa destitute of
political aa of personal oharaoter.
First the people were to be deocived by
the falsehood that Mr. Clark was not a
Know Nothing, while dozens of our citizens
had seen him go in and come out of the
lodge.
Next we were to be hour.ded down for
daring to vindicate our political principles in
an open and free manner. But this is an
old game, and falsehood siionld have tried
some story, which we could not at any time
call so many hundred witnesses to contra
dict. For the hundreds who three years a
go week after week read what we wrote,
and day after day heard what we said at
public meetings, will scorn as it deserves the
fubricaiion about our opposition to the ticket
of that year. That story served its day in
sscref for the mischievous purposes ol those
who found heretofore lhey could not use us
le serve their base designs.
Party feeling was invoked among Whigs
who were too honorable to go for the guer
rilla ticket; and such were told that it was
necessary to crush us in order to put down
the 'Loco Foeo" party, for that if it had not
been for our press Know Nothingism would
have met with no exposure or opposition in
this county. We appreciate such compli
ments, and if they had not been started by
disappointed and recreant Democrats in a
spirit of malice and envy to injure us, we
would be thankful for it. Our political posi
tion has not been time serving, but fearless
and open; and while we would wound no
honorable political opponent by any lack of
fairness or courtesy, we feel that we hare
done our duly to our own honest convic
tions of right.
One week it was admitted that Clark and
Grotz were Know Nothings, and the next
Clark's denial was again republished.
To injure us, the lie was then started that
we had offered to join the Know Nothingsat
Philadelphia, at a time which was Sunday
and when we were in BloomAurg —anil
after we had for eight successive weeks
publicly and openly declared ourselves op
posed to the prinoiples of the order.
The next falsehood was that our hands
worked with elosed doors. A dozen per
sons who were in it during all working
hours, and the hands themselves stamp this
lie as it deseiva*.
To others it was said the discomfiture of
Mr. Buckalew was our object. Now during
bis residence here we have every year taken
en active part in the politics of th e county,
and in every instance to serve his interest,
end the success of Democratic principles
We have year alter year urged our friend*
in his favor, a* hundred* can testify ; and
have never counted the cost to ourselves o<
standing out to shield and defend him, ei
ther as a delegate to Slate conventions in the
local question, or as a Senator. As late as
only last week we took pleasure in calling
attention to a beautiful vindication of him
made by his friend at Wilkes bar re, and re
gretted the delay we lied to await io giving
it to our readers.
Then I; was falsely asserted that our ob
ject was tha defeat of Mr. Eyerly. Thai
gentleman himself best knows who saved
him with the ticket, and he will never re
proach u*. But the public should know; as
he does only too well, where the dirorgani
zers did their work. The following is a
copy of the tickets which were printed by
'j'ale, and of which he gave whole rolls do
- sed up to Mr. Mendenhali to be carried ovei
the river for distribution. From this the
people oan see who among the Democrat*
tried to defeat Mr. Eyerly, and also how
muoh of the ticket there guerrillas support
ed. It will be observed that the ticket be
gin# with the Democratic State nominations,
and ends with Mr. Veager's name, so as to
deceive Democrats ;

EXPLOSION AT DtNVILLE.
, On last Friday morning a very serious ac
, cident to life and property occurred at the
i Montour lion Works, Danville. One of the
boilers of the Rolling Mill exploded, des
troying about 40 faet of the building and a
' frame dwelling adjoining, in which two fam
ilies resided.
1 Of John Farley's family, one of his two
' children was carried away with the boiler, 1
and insiamlv killed; the other, a little girl,
was found in the ruins dangerously cut up.
! and is now dying. Three of the children
ol Barney McGuire, in the lower story,
were hurl. McGuire, himsell, Peter Mona
ghan, and Lawrence Mcßride, who were in
the same house at the time, were also in
' jtired. Charles Search, a boy, died. John
' Priest, John Diesinger. Alex Wands, John
Adums, Michael Levy, Isaac Hines, Wil
-1 liam Butler and Joseph Shuggart, are all
1 badly scalded and hurt—some of them dan
' geroutly. Robert Woods, Bryan Dennin,
' John Miller and Samuel Deitz were slightly
1 hurl. They are still temoving the rubbish
* as fast as possible, and it is believed there
are more under it, who are missing. The
boiler is said to have been empty of water,
to which circumstancee the accident is at
tributed The loss to the company is not
1 kno.vn.
r TAMAQUA CONTINENTAL GUARDS.
This company of volunteers payed a friend
ly visit to our town on last Friday afternoon,
on their return from Milton. They presen
' ted • fine appearance in their continental
dress, and enlivened the town during their
stay. They reached here about one o'clock
1 on tbe afternoon, and in the evening Col.
Tale addressed them with some brief re
marks of welcome to hospitality, in front of
the Exchange Hotel. He was answered by
' one of the Continentals, and Col. John G.
Freeze then addressed the volunteers. An
other of the company replied, and Col.
Freeze rejoined by some brief remarks in
praise of Jesse G. Clark for having been in
Mexico. They left on Saturday morning,
and were escorted oul ol towu by a number
| of our citizens.
CONGIIKXS.
' From what we can learn, it would appear
* that Col. Wright the Democratic candidate
' for Congress in this district is defeated, and
f Henry M. Puller, Whig and Know Nothing
" elected.
1 The result hat been brought about by
e treacherous men in the Democratic party—
* men who imagine themselves agrieved by
r petty trifles, and whose political principles
' are only profession*.
'* In this county Wright may have nearly
TOO majority. In Montour Fuller hat nearly
0 200. In Luzerne it is repotted Fuller will
have 1200 majority.
Heary 8. Mote
Is elected Canal Commissioner by so large
a majority that it must be universally conce
ded the public works Will be safe in tils
hands. As the Whigs and Know Nothings
have so generally endorsed htm, we suppose |
we shall hear no more from them for a sale
of the public works, on account of incom.
petent management.
IF* The election in this place was con
ducted very orderly, and there waa vary lit
tle, if any, objectionable conduct on Ute part
of those who had interest or feeling in it.

One or the Tricks or Politic*.
In 1851 the Native Americans pn.-ted the
following handbill in Philadelphia to exoite
the Protestants against the Catholics, and to
injure lite election of Governor Bigler and
Judge Campbell. It was a base forgery
pretending to come from the Catholics, for
the purpose of casting odium on them:

ar The New York Episcopal Diocesan
Convention last week, elected Rev. Horatio
Potter, D. D., ol Albany, as the Provisional
Bishop of tne Diocese. The peculiar fea
lure of this election is the remarkable coin
cidence that lor tbe second time two brothers
have been elected over the great central Di
oceses of New York and Pennsylvania—the
elder in each case, being chosen first, and
being chosen by Pennsylvania. Dr. Poltei
has been for, we believe, more than twenty
years, rector of St. Peter's—the oldest Epis
copal Parish in Albany, where he is beloved
and honored to a degree which is tbe no
blest testimonial of the devotion of his past
life.

tarU it justice to Mr. Mendenhall and
Mr. Yeager to tay that we believe they had
no knowledge or part in in the manufacture
of the spurious tickets which were printed
and sent out by Tate. So far as we and our
friends can learn tbev originated in the
Know Nothing lodge of this place between
Fuller, (JroU and Clark.

Bigler's majority will be about 900.

The National Baby show.
CINCINNATI, Oct. 6 —The much talked of
i National Baby Show look place at Spring
field, in this State, to-day. One hundred and
twenty children were entered for competi
tion. The first premium tor the finest baby
of two years old or under, was a tea set
with a salver, valued at (300; the second,
a tea set, valued at MOO; the third premi
um, for the finest child under one year,
9200; fourth premium, a Parian marble
group.
The first premium was awarded to Mrs.
Remner, of Yienna, Ohio; the second to
Mrs. McDowell, of Cincinnati; the third, to
Mrs. Arthur Cannon, of Philadelphia ; and
the fourth, to Mrs Henry Howe, of Cincin
nati.
A lettei was received from Fanny Fern,
which was read greatly to the edification of
all concerned. I.altera were also received
from Mrs. Switebelm, Mrs: Crittenden, Mrs,
Mott, ami from Horace Greeley. The letter
thought that much attention should be given
to the development of the human constitu
tion, in a country whore able bodied men
are sold lor 9500 to 91500. Mrs. Mott
thought the black babies should be admit
ted .
Among the exhibitors there was an old
woman, who cauie with her seventeenth
child, and claimed a premium ou that
ground.
Fire at Pottscille.
PotUtille, October 10.—A very large fire is
now raging here in the rear nf Centra street
Many buildings are on fire as I send olf I his
despatch—9 P. M. All the buildings in the
,reai of the Miner's Journal office, and all a
long the Railroad street are on fire. The
office of the Miner's Journal—published by
Benjamin Bamiau-and many other buildiugs
are destroy ed. %
beveral dwellings on Railroad street were
consumed, with four or five stables. The
large book establishment of Mr. Banuin,
was saved without material damage. His
valuable furniture was also nearly all saved.
Mr. Bannan is partially insured, but the loss
from the destruction of the newspaper office
will reach about 910,000. Much sympathy
•s expressed for him. The fire is believed
to have been the work of an incendiary.
Murder and Great Excitement in Coving
ton, Ky.
Cincinnati. Oct. 7.—Covington, on the op
posite side of the river, is the scene of in
tense excitement among the American* and
Germans, growing out ol the murder of a
little ehild by a German whose name we
have not learned. The little buy as we learn
called the Urman an "Old Dutchman,"
whereupon the latter attacked the boy and
killed him in the street. The murderer a-as
promptly arrested, and threats have been
made that the jad would be attacked to
night by a mob, with a view of executing
summary vengear.ee. The officers are ta
king measures to preserve the public peace.
Extensive Eire in Cleveland.
Cleveland, Ohio, Oct. 7.—A large fire is
now raging in the quadrangular block,
bounded on the nnrih by the brick and stone
blnck on the south side of Superior street,
on the south bv Champlain St., on lha west
by Seneca street, and on .he east by the
Chase House and the public square. The
block consists of about twenty houses, most
of which are wooden buildings, and all will
probably be destroyed. The Chase House
and Superior street block will probably es
oape without injury.
£7* The Revenue lor September, as far as
received, is 94,897,000, a falling off of 91,-
280,000. The falling off has been most se
rious at Philadelphia and Charleston; caused
at the former port by the non-arrival of a
steamer with a valuable cargo, and at the
letter by the epidemic. The decline in cus
toms at New Ynrk is equal to eighteen per
cent, on the receipts for the same time in
1853. The returns from minor ports will
swell the aggregate for the month to live
millions of dollars. The principal of a lead
ing banking house in New York estimates
the loss on the importations of August and
September at twenty-five per cent.
Railroad Extension.
Milton, Pa., Oct. 7.—An oxcursion train
arrived bore litis morning from Catltwissa,
with a large company, to celebrate the o
petting of the road. Numerous private hou- 1
ses had been thrown open for the entertain
ment of the visitors. Snatches were made
by Messrs. Lewis and Tucker of Philadel
phia sod Lawson and Bound of Milton.

Scrap or History.
Daring lh Revolutionary war General La
fayette being in Baltimore, was invited to a
ball. He went as requested, but instead of
joining the amusement, as might be expect
ed of a young Frenchman of twenty-two , he
addressed the ladies thus:
" Ladies, you are very handsome; you
dance very prettily; your ball is very fine
but my soldiers havt no shirts."
The appeal was irresiatable. The ball
ceased the ladies went home and went to
work; and the next day a large number of
shirts weie prepared by the fairest bands of
Baltimore for the gallant delender of their
country.
UTAH.— The official term of Governor Brig
ham Young, of Utha Territory, expired on
Friday, the 29th of September, His suc
cessor has not been agreed upon, and I learn
that the appointment of one has been found
a matter of considerable difficulty. Young
will not be reappointed, but it is well kuown
that no man, not a Mormon, could govern
that lawless and impious community, with
out the material aid ol one or two well ap
pointed regiments. The Secretary of the
Territory, A- W. Babbit, formerly delegate
in Congress, will direct affairs until the fur
ther action of the President. The political
insubordination of these people is as remar
kable as their moral and religious irregular
ities. Mr. Young and his associates have
not thought fit to forward copies of their
Territorial laws, or the accounts of the ex
penditures nf the Public appropriations, for
lK past two yonrc.
FOR KANSAS —The Syracuse Journal says
that Gov. Reeder and a party ol five hun
dred emigrants for Kansas passed through
that place on Wednesday. The Boston At
las of Wednesday, says—The fourth party
for Kansas left the city yesterday afternoon
numbering 86, mostly adults. They depar
ted in fine spirits, singing songs and Cheer
ing. They will have accessionson the way,
which will swell 'heir number to 200, by
the time they reach St. Louis. The next
l>ariy will leave either the 17th or 25th of
next month.
PENNSYLVANIA IMPROVEMENTS —The gra
ding of the Lebanon Valley Railroad is go
ing forward steadily, while the North Leba
non Road (a branch of the former extend
ing from the Union Canal at Lebanon, Pa.,
to the Cornwall ore banks, a distance of a
bout six miles) is graded throughout, the
rails laid a considerable portion of the way
and is expected to be ready for the cart by
the Ist of November next. The Union Cu
nal enlargement is also progressing in the
opper sections ol the work.
A glimpse ofthe political field.-In the course
of about five weeks elections are to take
place which will determine the political char
acter ol the next House of Representatives
in Congress. The elections occur in the fol
lowing order-—Pennsylvania, Oct. 10; Ohio
Oct. 10; Indiana Oct 10; New York, Nov 7;
New Jersey, Nov. 7; Illinois, Nov. 7; Mich
igan, Nov. 7; Wisconsin, Nov. 7; Massachu
setts, No*. 13. These States are entitled to
124 Representatives io the Honse. Nearly all
ol them are also about to elect a Governor
and Legislature.
THE citizens ol Wheeling have taker,
measures to prevent, by injunction, if neces
sary, the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad from
tbe Ohio River and connecting with tbe Cen
trql Ohio Railroad. For some miles below
Wheeling, the Baltimore and Ohio, and
Central Ohio Railroad pass along the Ohio
parallel to each other and only separated by
tbe stream. It is proposed to straighten the
kink in the line of travel, by crossing the
river at a point where the Central Railroad
enters the valley. .
WHEAT IN CKNESEE, N. Y.—The editor of
the Batavia Democrat, thus addresses his
readers -.—'-It needed no prophet to forlell
the downfall in the price of what. Ye far
meis who refused the princely price of two
dollars per bushel in expectation ol getting
two dolls re and fifty cents, wheat say ye to
the present market value of this commodity,
oue dollai and thirty cents per bushel, with
a prospect of a still further decline."
Bank of England Notts .—The notes of tbo
Bank of England, under a new process not
lor.g since adopted, are signed by machin
ery. The engraving of the whole rote is
complete. Formerly the bank employed
twenty clerks, at a salary each of £5OO per
annum,, who did nothing else but sign their
names to notes. The new mode of signing,
it is supposed, will prevent counterfeit ing.

WRECKS IN THE INDIAN SEA— Reported Lots
of Eight Hundred Lives —The recent over
land mail brought intelligence, which has
led to the belief that two ressels have been
loet, and nearly eight hundred lives]viz : the
brig Hygeia, and Lady Nugent.— The first
was wrecked on the rocks in the Indian Sea,
with the loss of three hundred and ninety
lives; and the last is supposed to have been
dashed to pieces in a terrible monsoon, a
bout thrpe weeks after she sailed from Mad
ras, having on board lite 26th Madras Infan
try, or upwards of four hundred souls in all.
TIIK END OF THE W'oai.n—A correspon
dent of tho Boston Traveler, states that in
the vicinity of the burning forests in Maine,
quite a number of persons, chiefly females,
have become insane, inconsequence of ex
citement, the result of a belief that the gen
eral conflagration in the woods there, is a
sign of a speedy ending of the world, in ac
cordance with the prediction of the Miller
itea Some of them have been taken to the
Slate Asylum. This is one of the sad ef
fects of religious fanaticism.
X3T The Mormons continue to make great
progress in Kurope. All over England they
ure making converts, and the London Times
thinks their religious services ought not to
be protected by the laws. Tbe British ar
my in Turkey contains several branches ot
the chnrcb. At Hamburg the authorities
have prohibited their meetings. The Mor
mon emigration of next year to the United
States wilt be large.
Iy Gen W. O. Butler, of Kentucky, is

Brutus Clay, Horace Mann, Mrs. J. J. Crit

members of the committee.
I Number of deaths in ColumUu. —According
to the Spy, the aseerlaitied number of deaths
from the epidemic were 137, though it is
believed there were 15 other cases that oc
curred before there was any Sanitary Com
mittee in the place. There is very little, if
any, cholera in Columbia now.
A Squint at a New State. —The Lake Supe
