Daring court this week we liave beard u number of prominent Democraia express tbeir pleasuro and satisfaction with the Dem ocratic county ticket. Every person grants that all the nominees will make excellent and competent officers ; and the Know-Noth ings alone seem troubled as to what is beet for tbera to do. They don't even hint that the country would be ruined by the officers now on the Democratic ticket, but they strongly intimate that they would like all lite offices themselves. We ate very sorry to see our clever friend Mr. Cole in the company end control of the Know-Nothings. He submitted his claims to the Democratic comity convention ami was fairly and honorably treated by it. No disrespect was intended, and no injury done him when another competent gentleman re ceived the npmination. When a man submits his claims to a con vet:lion anil is faitly treated by it, lie can gain neither respect nor profit by deserting the party because be did not receive a nom ination. Each candididate before a conven tion expects the others to support him if he is successful, arid honesty would recpiire that if he is not nominated he should treat others as he wished to be treated. The men whom wo have seen lately flattering Mr. Cole are uoterious Know-Nothings who never born any love for the Democratic parly, and who were both last year and in the fall of 1853 the leading spirits in opposition to the Demncral io ticket. By tbiuking of this coolly the can did portion of the voters will understand tlio motives which have made Mr. Cole a candi date. Court Prncccdiucs. Court opened in this place on last Mon day. There was a pretty good attendance, though but few casea were for trial, and none of these of any general interest. Solomon Neyltard Esq., of Centre was appointed fore man of the Grand Jury. The only civil case tried was an appeal— Joseph Hampton w.Samuel Henry, iri which the jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff for $32.65. The only other case which went to a jury for verdict was Com.'rs. AnJrew Freas for aseaull and battery. Verdict not guilty and the prosecutor for costs. Court adjourned ott Wednesday forenoon. The report of Iho Grand Jury will be found in another column. The court directed it to be published and notice to be given to the supervisors mentioned in the report. QT We publish in an other column tlio advertisement of the "Savin/ Fund of the United States Insurance, Annuity and Trust Company," South East corner of Third and Chestnut Streets, Philadelphia. It is the pi oneer 5 per cent. Saving Fund of tha 1 City, and is esteemed one of the best Savings In stitutions of our country. Monies deposited witb ibis Institution draw 5 per cent, inter est, and are paid back on demand without notice. The direction embraces some of the best men of Philadelphia. GT Whenever a disappointed Democrat turns against his party the Know-Nothings fuck him in just as easy as the whale did Jonsb, and declare he is the most clever and gentlemanly fellow alive, even if only a short time before they übused him us a "d d ditty Loco foco." ty Spalding & Roger's Circus which ex hibited in this place yesterday has a large number of excellent performers, and fulfilled every reasonable expectation of the many who patronized it.

Union and Harmony. m The Columbia county Democratic Conven tion, and the Representative Conferees ol Columbia and Montour, have unanimously conosirred ill the nomination mar.e by Mon tour. of John G. Montgomery, Esq., for As semfdy. Of Mr. Montgomery's election lberu can be no doubt. Mi. Maxwell was urged by indiscreet friends, to tun ugninstthe Tick et,. but lie does himself credit by declining to accede to such request, and pledging hitnsell to support the ticket. Mr. Tenter, of Derry, has likewise been solicited to run as a volunteer, but he declines to have his name thus used by the opponents "of the democratic organization, and will him self support Mr. Wagner. Mr. Terner thus strengthens himself with the Democratic par ty, and as lie is a gentleman of excellent character and good qualifications, he will be favorably remembered hereafter.— Danville Intelligencer. M bat the Hussions !Sny- The official organ at St. Petersburg ex presses the opinion that the Allies, by their inactivity and want of enterprise, have allow ed the opportunity to slip by when Seba-lo pol might have been taken. It now says the city is impregnable ; that it can replace one hundred dismounted guns in a night, or can j exchange 50,000 fatigued troops agiinst 59,- 000 fresh troops ; the Allies cannot, with double the force thoy can disposo of, cut off the communication by Perikop ; tliat the Russian army, fighting for its country and its sovereign, is animated by a belter spirit than ia rhe heterogeneous mas of French, Enghsh, Turks, Egyptians and Sardinians, contending for an abstract ides and a con fused interpre tation of the duties of civilization. There is some force in these remarks, and the Allies themselves appear to be impressed with the same idea for the preparation of defences they are making a l . Kamiosh look very like a protection in the event of being compelled to re-embark. Sanbury and Erie Dai/road. —The jjastern link of this road from Northumberland to Milton, will be completed and formally op ened on Thursday 20th inel. By the com pletion ot this link, which, by usiugfiat boats on the basin of the Susquehanna river at j Northumberland, western New York will be ; connected with the coat fields in the middle j anthracite region- Col.

REPORTED UOUBERY OF THE COUNTY TIIKAS- | uuv AT LANCASTER.—A letter Irom Lancaster informs usthat the office of the County Treas urer at Lancaster was robbed of from SBOO to 81000, on Sunday night. The Treasurer's Office is on the first lloor of the now Court House, and was entered by the western door leading to the corridor. The door loading to the office was also opened by fulse keys— no appearance of the lock Itaviug been fore ed in either door. The sal'e-key was gener ally kept in a small desk in (he office, which was forced open, and the safe-key taken out, by which the safe was opened. The Coun ty Commissioners are investigating the mat ter.— Ledger. AMERICAN IRON.—Everything at presentin dioates a prosperous condition of the Ameri can iron trade. Our pig iron is now in far better repute und demand than it baa been for a long lime, und by the attention of the manufacturers it has been so much improved as to possess all the valuable qualities of Scotch pig. The Philadelphia American stales that the Mount Hope and Hibernian iron mines, in New Jersey, are doing a large bu siness. The rolling mill at Rockway, N. J., has been enlarged,and is now driven by steam, instead of water power, the aleara be ing generated entirely from the waste beat of the puddling and heatiDg furnaces, so that no more fuel is used than under the water power system. The mill ia now constantly employed. {F The people very generally seem pleas, ed with the nomination of Mr. Montgomery for Representative, and be will receive a very fine vote in tbii county. ■lore Developemeuts. We invite the attention of every honest man to the card of Mr. Henry Craw of Mun cy which we publish below. At least a doz en men in this county have come to us and told an experience very much like this man's, for the plan of Ihese conspirators is every where the same, and honest men are every wbero leaving them in disgust. Hereafter, if occasion requires, we may put some of the revelations of those who pave seen the hol low heaitedness of Know-Noihingism in this county into a proper shape for our readers. — For the present Mr. Craw's experience will | serve as a sample. | To the Independent Elector* ol' Lycom ! nig, < liuion mid I'olter Counties. The undersigned has been induced to ofTer his services to the people of this district, and permit his name to be used in the approach l ing canvass, as a candidate for a seat in the j Pennsylvania Legislature. the fact is admitted by the members of | the parly with whom I have previously aot j ed, that their candidate, nominated by fraud, ! is to ntuke no public avowal of his principles, but being disgusted with these" dark lan tern" practices, I have determined to make a frank, open and public exposition of my views upon the various questions of public interest. The principles of the Whig parly have been and will be my principles; I have louglil for tlicm, and voted for them, and as long as breath remains in mybody, will retain fresh and green the resolleclion of the glo rious lessons taught us by Clay and Webster. When the great reform movement on the subject of temperance was started [ lent my voice, and what little influence 1 possessed to koep the ball in motion. In the midst of onr great success in this reformation project my Whig and Temperance friends commen ced organizing Know-Nolhitig Lodges. I was assured by Whig friends that it was reolved by our party to tush cn masse into this move ment as the sure and effectual way of break ing down the Democratic party. I was also assured there would bo no sacrifice of Whig principles, that our party in iho order would be largely in the majority, and the minority of Democrats woulJ be compelled to suo culhb, and finally come into the support of Whig men and measures—l was assured by | temperance Iriends that this Know Nothing ; movement was the only means by which ■ men could bo selected and elected, who would pass a prohibitory liquor law—l was told by holy and reverend gentlemen ivith white cravats, that the deception a man would bo called upon to practice towards bis neighbor, prevarication and equivocation to which ev ery member would Uo forced to resort, that the war which was to be waged against a small and contemptible body ol Christians and against all loreigneis whether l'rotestant | or Catholic, would be justified by the great ' end to bo attained. In consequence ol these j various assurances, I joined that dark and ; prescriptive order*in whose midnight coun- j cils the glicsts of men, women and children j slaughtered in Cincinnati and Louisville, pass in sad and solemn array before the eyes of pale, trembling and terror-stricken congrega tions of conspirators. How appropriate one of the places of meeting in this Borough ! j viz., a butcher shop ! the President stand- J ■ ing behind the ineat block, tlio initiated col lected in a circle around, while a member , holds in one hand a candle (their only light) and in the o'.ht t a box of matches, so that upon the first alarm the light may be extin guished, and bo lighted when the danger of detection passes away. I was one ol tbe ciiarter members of the Mur.cy council. Wo organized in a lavern; 1 met with them, acled with them, and for the good of the temperance cause end with the example of temperance men and Preachets of the Gospel, and iu their company, at an I hour when all nature was hashed in repose, when sleep had 010-od the eyos of iho un suspecting, stole forth from our families lo meet in councils, held ut the houses we had been in* tbe habit In our temperance speech- ; es of styling " rum shops'' our ingress being through tbe stables, over the fences, creep- I ing along under the shrubbery of the gar | ilens, and egress iu the same humiliating [ and disgraceful manner. The limits of this communication will not I permit me to give all the reasons in addition | to the foregoing which influenced nte to re ; nounce and free myself from the moral con j lamination surrounding this order. From i the assembling to the adjournttiont of the last I | hour." Every measure of any importance j was passed in secret council and duly went j through tho forms of ratification in the Sen- I ate and House of Representatives. We 6ent I a majority to pass the piohibitory liquor law, and with the will and inclination, they lack ed the courage to do their duty, but placed upon the statute book, that miserable abor tion known ar.d appropriately styled the '• Know-Nothing Jug Law." if this was the only infamous measure passed by that Leg islature, it is enough to cover the authors with disgrace. I herein pledge myself i( elected to do my utmost to effect the repeal of this odious law,and substitute in its place, a Regular Simonpure Ned Dow Maine Law.
