No man in the State has any doubt of the I
success of the Democratic parly at the coin
ing election, if the strength of the parly can
be biooghl to the polls, upon the day of the
election. We have the numbers, and if we
lack any thing, it is the excitement of the
canvass. We ought, however, to have a
fixed and settled determination, independent
of all outside causes, to sustain ourselves in
the position we now occupy before the world;
and to keep the good old Commonwealth ol
Pennsylvania in the hue of safe precedents,
and in support of the doctrines and measures
upon which the presidential election was
(ought, and upon which the administration
is now being conducted.
The State as well os the National issues
are all in favor of the Democratic party, and
that being the case, nothing is wanting at this
lime but our voles. Them it is our duty to
give, and we cannot escape the responsibili
ty of misrule; if we neglect now, to secure
the blessings within our reach. We do not
work for ourselves, we do not even live fot
ourselves alone; but individually and col-
lectively we are responsible to those who
shall follow us, as well as to our own consci
puces. i .
No people under ihe sun, bavo (he privi
lege of choosing (heir rulers, except our
selves; but (his privilege rises inlo (he digni
ty of a duly when we contemplate the im
mense importance of the issues involved.—
Jssues not only naiional in their results, but
affecting for good or for evil the human race
in all quarters of the world. Do you not see
that in cur hands, in the haude of the Demo
cratic party is the book of truth, and the
burning torch; by whose light the nations
ere endeavoring to read the gloiious page
inscribed, human rights.
Come forwaid then, and let them see that
you appreciate the privileges you enjoy: and
give them a lesson tr. self government, and
the rights and duties men owe to each other. :
There is a weapon surer set,
And belter than the bayonet,
A weapon, that comes down as still,
As snow-flakes fall upon the sod;
And executes a freeman's will,
As ligbining does the will of God.
And from whose force, nor bolts nor locks
Can shield them—'tis the ballot box.
THE TIC KET.
In addition to Ihe importance of coming
out to the election, is that ofToling the ticket
from top to bottom when you do come. The
organisation of the party can only be main
tained in its purity, when each member of
the party, foigetful of self, works for the
general success. We hope therefore that
throwing aside every feeling of discontent
and disappointment, the leaders a* well as
the rank and file of the party will go earnest
ly to work and secure a full vote, and a clean
vote for the ticket.
The endorsement of a democratic conven
tion ought not to be gainsaid; and no man
who considers himself a democrat should
decline to support a nomination. No oppo
sition candidate CRtt be so unexceptionable,
as one of onr own party friends, and it is a
duly we cannot easily throw off, (bat of giv
ing him onr vote.
Go to lite election early—stay on Ihe ground
all day—see that all your neighbors are at
the polls. Let the rivalry, if any is to exist,
be to see who can do the most for the suc
cess of the party; who can be most influen
tial in getting a heavy vote for the t-cket.
Smith ft, Thompson-
Now lei the memory of Clay, Webster,
Marcy, and Calhoun, sink away ; and let the
great party which used to arrogate to itself uli
the "intelligence and respectability," hide its
diminished head for —Smith B. Thompson
is nominated for Congress. These are great
times as well as "hard" limes, when states
men spring up like mushrooms fully formed
in one night. Time was when men did talk
some little about the fitness of things, but this
age is prolific in all things now. If any Dem
ocrat ever hesitated or doubted whether the
indefatigable industry and high moral char
acter of Leidy—the sagacity and shrewdness
of Mcßeynolds—the patriotic impulse t.nd
boldness of Wright—or, the clear, logical
mind of Little—rendered those man fit for
Congress: such skeptic need doubt no longer
since Smith B. Thompson hs been nomina
ted for Congress by the opposition.
67 Tbe Governor has cslled an extra ses
aion of the Legislature. His pets, the binks,
have got him into trouble, aud he waits the
model legislature to get bim and them out.
It will be the short session— fivt days— and in
that lime, no doubt, great things will be
done. His coarse meets lbs approval of
ve, T Jf* persons, and we are inclined to
tbinkvllat roenlt will not be to the credit of
b it sagacity
UEJIOCUA TIC HCTIRG, '
! In pursuance to public-notice • Democratic
I meeting was beld at the Court-House, in
! Blooms-burg, on last Friday evening, October
2d, 1857, which was well attended.
The meeting was organized by electing the
following office ra :
President—C ol. 1.. L. TATE.
Vice Presidents —John Mcßeynoli's, Dr. J
Ramsey, R. B. Arthur, Philip' Unangst, T. C.
Else, G. R. Goff.
Secretaries —W. Harrison Jacoby, A'em B.
Tate.
HON. J. GLAKCV JONES was then introduced
to the audience by the President, who ait
dressed the meeting in an able and interesting
manner.
The meeting then adjourned by offering
the following resolution which was adopted :
Resolved, That the thanks of this meeting
be tendered to the HON. J. GLANCV JONES for
bis able and patriotic address.
CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENTS.—The vote
on the adoption or rejection of the Amend
ments to the Constitution at the ensuing elec
tion, may be either by written ot ballots,
having on the outside "First Amendment,"
"Second Amendment," " Third Amend
ment," "Fourth Amendment." And on the
inside "For the Amendment" or "Against
the Amendment/' So that each voter may
approve or reject one or all as he may pleuse.
THE SAVED AND THE LOST.—The exact num
ber of the saved and lost of the steamer Cen
tral America will probably never be known
in this world. It is generally agreed that she
had on board, on leaving Havana, nearly six
hundred souls; and the lists of the saved va
ry from 166 to 162. In all ol those lists, rep
etitious or other inaccuracies are apparent.—
Probably 170 is not far from the truth.
F.XTRA SESSION OF THE LEGISLATURE.—Gov.
Pollock has called an extra session of the Leg
islature. All success to Governor Pollock;
for if he can right the tanks and slop li e
panic he will have done much. But we ask
liitn lo meet the cry of his own party that the
"free trade tariff " for which Wilmot voted,
is the cause of all this distress. Free trade
is the cause of oil this, many Whigs say.—
Can you then support Wilmot the Free Tra
der? He alone of the Pennsylvania delega
tion voted lor Free Trade and such a reduc
tion os has permitted foreign goods lojlow in
into our land. Honest Republican or Amer
ican ! vote for Wilinot.— Harrisburg Paper.
GLOOMY PROSPECTS.—The New York Tri
bune preuicis that by the Ist or middle of
next December, at least one hundred thou
sand persons in the ci'y of New York will
be out of employment and nearly out of
means. The shipyards in New York are
nearly idle, the foundries but half working,
and the great clothing stores doing very lit
tle. ft is slated that women have recently
come to New York from places 300 miles
away in quest of work from the clothing
stores, only to be turned off with none, and
compelled to beg their way home again.—
The Tribune adds, that places have looked
for servant gills for some time past; soon
servant girls will look earnestly for places,
and be very glad to find them. It is pre
dicted that soup houses for hungry iabotcrs
who can find no labor will be wanted before
January ! The Journal of Commerce is of
opinion that hardly, since 1837, has so
gloomy a prospect for winter lowered upon
the laboring classes of New York.
Cy The present money panic will be
crushing to thousands of business men, and
will cause sad times among the poor—but no
man with the least quantity of brains failed
to see that all this must result from the free
l ade tariff of 1846, as well as from our ex
cessive over-living, and over anxiety to gel
rich—Extensive importations will follow ex
cessive over-consuinpt'on. We live too fast
—live too well—live as regards this world
even without regard to Ibu future—much
more so, however, with regard to the spiril
world.
By the way, during the existence of the
United Slates Bauk every money panic was
charged to that institution. But under the
influence of the Democratic Sub-Treasury a
panic has also come. Will some of the po
litical doctors, who argued that the sub-treas
ury system would be the great panacea lor
all the money pressures, tell us what has
caused the panic now ?— Danville Democrat.
ty Geo. W. Wagoner, JwMypist, has
taken rooms in the Exchange Block, where
he will remain for a few days, and is pre
pared to execute work with such beauty of
finish and perfection of style, as cannot fail
to render satisfaction to all who may favor
him with a call. Now is the time to pro
cure a life-like miniature likeness, for
VV'hon dentil the eotil from body once has (urn
No Artist's hand can trace the living form!
iy By reference to another column in to
day's paper it will be seen that Frank Phelps
& Co.'s Colossal Gymnasium and Aphnhea-
Ire will give an exhibition in this place on
next Friday, September 9th, afternoon and
evening. It is said lo be a lip-top perform
ance—performing all Ibat their bills an
nounce.

DISTRESSING.— The Muncy Luminary learns
that a son ol Mr. Philip Ste'ler. of Penn
township, Lycoming county, ased about 12
years, met with an untimely death on Wed
nesday week, by acci.lently hanging himseit
with a close line aireicbed upon two tree*.
17 George W. Hammersly, Esq., elected
Cashier of the Bank of Catosaqua, has re
fused lo accept the post because his election
was not unanimous. Toe vote stood 10 for
Hamowtily to B agaiul bin
[7 The Honesdale Bank has not suspend
ed, and is probably the only bank in the
Stale which has not. Its business relations
are almost exclusively with the New York
Banks.
17 The work upon the Bloomsburg and
Lackawanna Railroad is progressing ficely.
The track-layers have the raits laid two miles

"Werdinfl^Mi>
Last Tall lha batdttf party
■was (ought upon f "Bleeding Kan
sas." This I'aJl, mi fortunately for their hopes
and sectional agitation, Kansas has ceased
to bleed and the North is satisfied that this
unfortunate question shall be determined in
accordance with the correct principle of pop
ular sovereignty. We are all willing that the
people of the Territories, as of the States,
shall determine upon the laws under whioh
they will live. " Bleeding Kansas!" But
Kansas has ceased to bleed, toy Republics!)
friend, and you are now fighting for nothing
if it IF not abolitionism. What do you want ?
What do you contend for* What is your
principle? "Bleeding Kansas," and Kan
sas haß tea eil to bleed. Honest Republican!
you were humbugged last la\l.—Patriot and
Union.
Illock ICepulillcan Hypocrisy.
' The Worcester (Mas.) Pay Slate says:—
" We have the name of a gentleman who
heard Senator Hemv WiNon, when that indi
j vidual was in Kansas tell Messrs. Itnbison
and Kane, 'Do not vote at the October election!
j Let tliem form u stave Stale. Aid them to do
|so if ycu can without suspicion! That is all the
! capital which we ask for the next Presidential
| election.'"
This is a fair sample of Black Republican
hypocrisy, and yet the people ol this State
are asked to vote for David Wilrnol, the very
chief among the conspirators. The lives ol
men, women and children, the peace and
secu'ily of the Union are nothing, when cap
ital can be made for the next Presidential
| election. It is time these ar'anl pretenders
; were rebuked in a way that will teach them
! a lesson in the future, and to aid in perform-
I ing that duty, we ask the co-operation of ev
ery honest, intelligent citizen of the old Key- j
stone State.
THE TRUTH WELL STATED—The National
Intelligencer, in copying the annexed article ;
from the Cleveland Herald, txhls that, "cir
cumstances give to the subjoined remarks
peculiar aptitude and force. When the ocean
is in tumuli and the storm ponrs out its fury,
the humblest sailor in the ship feels that the
safety of his fellow-voyagers is so much a
matter of pride and humanity as his own.— .
Ho perils all, and works manfully 'whilst a
slick is left standing.'' He never deserts the i
chip."
Common Sense in a Money Panic. —Money- j
ed men are the veriest cravens on earth ; so
timid that at the least alarm lliey pull their
head, turtle like, within their shell, and snug
ly housed, hug their glittering treasure until
all fear is removed. The consequence is,
that a few days' disturbance of the monetary
atmosphere bringß on a perfect dearth of not
only the precious metals, but of even paper
money, their representative.
Moneyed men never adopt the tactics of'
mutual support; hence, as soon as a shot is
fired into the flock, they scatter, each looking
out for himseli, each distrustful of the other,
and oach recognizing only the great law ol
selfishness, which is, to take care of number
one. Courage has saved many an army, even
when ammunition was low, and many a loe
has been scn'tered by one yell of defiance
when there was not a cartridge left.
CANAL CORRUPTION.—The Republican pa- j
pers in this region nrc publishing a statement !
that it was proved before a legislative com ;
mittee, that Col. Piolett had acted corruptly <
while Superintendent of the North Branch j
Canal, and that Gen. Packer, as Canal Com
missioner, bad refused to remove htm. The
charge is not true; but if true Judge Wilmot
was concerned in 'he corruption, for he was
then Col. Piolett's Clerk! From 1839 lo
1842, Wtlmot received two dollars a day as
Clerk lo the Superintendent of the North
Branch Canal, yet we hear the opposition
talk about " Stale robbers," as though they
all belonged to the Democratic party. There
has scarcely been a year of David Wilmol's
manhood during which he has not been a
| pensioner on the public crib.— Clinton Dem
ocrat.
C 7* We are glad to learn that arrange
ments are in progtess for ail early resump
tion of work at the hlontour Boiling Mills.
Messrs. Thomas Chambers, J. I'. St J. Grove,
and Henry M. Fuller, have leased the works
for five years, from the Montour iron Com
pany, as soon as the present panic in the
money market shall have somewhat subsi
ded, we look with confidence for a rental
of operations at this extensive establishment.
P. S. —Since the above was in type, we
regret to learn, that the futnace men have
stopped working on account cf a reduction
of 25 per cent, in their wages, which was to
have taken place on the Ist inst. All three
furnaces of the Montour Iron Co., now stand
idle.— Danvihc Democrat.
yr T|if, Wee.tjSftW Argtit ba the Wlatn
tng, which is not only a good joke, but a
fact:
" The best political joke we have heard
this season was 'done' on the occasion of
'King' David Wilmot'a speech at Erie. An
Irishman who had listened attentively to him,
finally turned to a friend and enquired, 'An'
that's David Wilmol, eh ?' 'Yes,' was the
response. 'And what is he running fori'—
'Governor.' 'Governor of Kansas, is it ?' 'No,
Governor of Poinsylvania.' 'Faith, he saul
nothing of Pennsylvania, I thought it was Kan
sus, sure!'"
WHO SHOULD TAT THE DIFFERENCE? —Tbe
"currency" is depreciated some four or five
per cenl. in payment of debts, who should
sustain this loss, the debtor or the creditor?
Clesily the debtor. He bas engaged to pay
a hundred ceata to the dollar, and ho cannot
get rid of the obligation justly by offering
nili*ty-fi cesu for m dollar. The debloi Is
only in favor of a suspension of the banks,
because it enables him, if his creditors will
take current fuuds, to get rid of his obliga
tions with a saving to himself of from five lo
ten per cent., or to whatever amount tbe cur
rency may have depreciated below specie
value. Every workman, who now receivea
his wages in currency instead of gold and
silver, has those wages redoced from font to
five per cent, as surely aa though his em
ployer had agreed to give him only 95 or 96
cents for a dollar Ltdgtr.
Pevaity Ajralait Bank.
The case of the Csmmooweakh egsnost
the Hoaesdale Bank, to reoover the penally
i imposed by the banking law of the State,
for not keeping its notes at par in Philadel
phia , was tried a' Honesdale last week, and
resulted in a verdict of 6998 97 in favor of
the Commonwealth. The suit was instigat
ed about a vtear ego, and it wa6 then given
i out as the intention of the Commonwealth
enforce this penally against the
banks that had neglected to comply with the
providiohs of the law requiring (hem to keep
their notks a| par in the cities of Philadel
phia and Pittsburg, respectively; but instead
oi this, the number of delinquent Banks,
then large, has since very greatly increased,
and compliance with the law either east or
west of the Alleghenies, is now the excep
tion and not the rule. Nine-tenths of the is
sues of the interior Banks of the Slate which
find their way to Philadelphia, are at a dis
count of from J to 2 per cent.,and the fact is
equally disgraceful to the Banking institu
tions of the State, and the State authorities,
whieli permit this systematio infraction ol
the law. Ins, we aro aware, a matter of
very large interest to the uncurrent money
brokers, and in many cases to the banks
themselves, which have agencies to buy up
their notes, but it is a grievous lax upon the
1 community, And especially upon labor, in
| the correction of which both the interests
and honor of lliA Commonwealth are con
cerned. 1 ; The counsel in this case, on the
part of the Commonwealth—Hon. John C.
Kutikel and (Jen. William H. Miller—are
! able and experienced lawyers, and the for
mer is reported to have won great credit by
the ability and force of his argument before
the jury. We sincerely trust he will not al
low the opportunity to pass of adding still
further to his legal reputation, bp bringing
every delinquent Bank in the Slate into
Court. A single conviction of a single in
stitution, once in three years, amount to ;
nothing, and in no way insures the obser
vance of the law. Justice demands the
prosecution of every Bank that has violated
the law, and unless this is dine the State
authorities will be held equally censurable
with the Banks themselves.
Commercial mid rhnnce Speculations.
The whole world is a lottery, in which the
men and women are continually drawing I
blanks and prizes. Society would cease tot
have any excitement; life would have no
charms were this not the oase ; for mankind
must have something to hope for in order to
exist. Commerce is based upon this neces
sity of man's nature ; and nit kinds of busi
siness and trade are purely speculative, be
cause nothing is certain. The establishment
ol lotteries has grown out of the knowledge
of this principle, which operates so power- |
fully upon society ; and they will always be 1
sanctioned and supported, because they are j
truly beneficial to a Urge majority of the pub- ,
lie, who crave excitement in matters of gain \
and desire to do so without being subjected j
to the injuries and loss of time incidental to !
gaming. They are strictly commercial as
any other business where risks are indulged ;
in; fot chance rules every result where in- !
vestments ate made. Hence it is,that Messrs. 1
Anderson & Son, of Macon and Savannah, |
Georgia, who are to draw the Jasper County
Academy Lottery, on the 15th insl., are sue- 1
eessful. They receive, by mail, ten, five, I
two dollars and a half for a whole half or'
quarter of a ticket, and they send out more j
than one prizo to every ten applications; j
while the ticket-holder, to whom they prompt
ly send, sometimes finds himself the posses
1 sor of *a fortune. Those wishing to make
i slighter investments can do so by enclosing
. Iroru one to four dollars to the Managers, for
, a ticket in one o( their small drawings, whioh
lake placb every Saturday throughout the
j year.
j Convicted of Libel.
! Joshua S. Fletcher, publisher of the Datly
\ Sun, has been convicted in the Philadelphia
! Court of Quarter Sessions, of libel upon John
I P. Sanderson, Ksq., editor of the Daily News.
This prorecution grew out of the publication
i in the Sun of the 23 of May last, of an article
I from a paper published at Lock Haven, Pa.,
; charging that Mr. Sanderson had been bought
; with money to oppose the Republican ticket
;at the last election, and making similar as
-1 persons against his integrity as an editor
j Under the new law ot libel in this Siale, the
! defendant might have given the truth ia evi
j deuce to justify the publication, but be failed
. to do so, and rested his defence upon the
! ground that Mr. Fletcher did not originate the
libellous article, and published it merely in
j the course of a political controversy, without
! intending any injury to the character of Mr.
| Sanderson. The jury, however, brought in a
verdict of guilty.
I It frtmie tudpear, from ibe result ol this trl-
I al, that the reputation of an editor is still oon
j sidered private property, which may not be
assailed and destroyed whb impunity. A
: lew more examples of this kind would do
: good.
THE DECLINE IN SUGARS. —The New York
and Boston papers bring to us the gratifying
intelligence that the sugar market, which
had already greatly declined is still falling
and there is a project ol still greatei de
cline. The fall from tbe highest point to
which speculators had held is full three cents
a pound, and already the losses are very
heavy. The Boston Traveler estimates the
loss on sugars throughout America and Eu
rope at $50,000,000. No one will cry over
this result except the speculators.
THE BANKING LAW. —In the Geqeral Bulk
ing Law of 1860,' lb® following section oc
curs:
"If any such banks shall at any lime fail
or refuse to redeem its notes and pay its lia
bilities in gold Mid silver coin, upon demand
being made at 'the banking house of said
bank during banking hours, such failure or
refusal shall be deemed and held to be an
absolute forfeiture of tbe charter of said bank.

I INCREASE OF BANKING CAPITAL.
We are Seated that the law Democratic
State Convention took strong groundjagaiost
(be increase of Banks. The banking capi
tal of Ibis county bas been increased daring
the present year 61,P00,000. This migbt
hare been well enough, if there had been
any increase in the amount of specie in the
connty to warrant it. But when the stock
had to betaken, and. paid for in the notes of
other banks,'we cannot sea any thing else
but ruin to result from such expansion. Dur
ing this same year the banking capital of
Philadelphia bas been increased by the acts
of last session, <1,900,000, snd the aggre
gate increase ol banking capital in the whole
State since the first day of January last, has
bean (he enormous amount of $5.250,000. —
And yet wo will ventore to assert that all this
immense expansion was based on less capi
tal than there was in the Slate two years
ago.
What need of refined theories about the
balance of trade to explain the cuuso of our
present troubles?
The Coal Trade.
The Sunbury American in speaking of the
coal trade, saya that trade perhaps was never t
more depressed than at the present lime.— 1
Our operators in the Shamokin region bave |
not bean exempt from lhi general depression. -
Though economical and industrious, esveral j
firms, we regret to say, have been obliged to J
yield to the pressure of the times. Others |
are weathering the storm under adverse cir- t
cumsfinces, with a view of the "better lime c
coming." In Schuylkill county, we under- '
stand, the effects of this depression have been f
most disastrous, and that many of the most {
energetic and industrious business men have I
been driven to the wall. The coal trade in '
this county has ever been of a most precari- '
ous character. This should not be, and why I
it is so, is, pprhops difficult to determine. It ■
is a business that requires close attention and I
considerable capital, and shonld be more .
certainly remunerative.— lamoqua Gazelle.
Daupbiu County Canvass.
A great battle is being fought in Dauphin ,
county by national men, against those whose j
principles are sectional, and whose success |
would involve the dismemberment of the '
Union. We contend against those who, for- j
geiful of the benefits of the Union, would |
risk our greatest good and happiness through (
a mistaken and exaggerated sympathy for the 1
black man. We contend against abolition- j
ism under whatever guise, and appeal to ell j
true men, who have hearts large enough to
embrace the whole country, to assist in the I
overthrow of this fanaticism. The prospects
are bright for the conservative men of Dau
phin county—no matter the party to which
they belong—are rallying to the support of
national banners, and are fighting under flags
which are emblazoned with more than six
teen stars. The information from all quar
ters is cheering ; and we believe that it or.ly
requires a united and determined effort to se
cure the important result of rescuing Daophin
: county from the hands of men who are, at
| heart, abolitionists.
j Critical Condition of the New York and Erie
1 Railroad. —lt is very manilest from the move
! ments of the New York and Erie Railroad
| Company, that that costly and expensive wnrk |
iis on its last legs. Mr. Moran, its $25,000
; per annum President, cries pcccavi. His call
| for a six million loan procured only tempora
j ry accommodation, from New Yotk banks,
jof onty 575,000 dollars. A million and a
i half of dollars were and aro requested for the
[ liabilities of the present month, and three
millions or more within ten months. "Its
labor," Mr. Moran says, "lias not been regu
! larly paid, and unless its owners come for-
I ward, there is imminent risk of f ilure." !n
--' deed, it is generally understood that the
: Company's liabilities have been neglected for
several weeks.
