Election, Tuesday, October 9th, 1860.
Resolved. That the convictions of the Dem
ocratic party of Pennsylvania remain tin
hairn in ih wisdom and iustice of ade
quate protection ot iron, coal, wool, and of
the great staples of onr country, based upon
the necessities of a reasonable revenue sys
tem of the General Government ; and ap
proving of the views of Precident Buchanan
upon the subject of specific . duties, we
earnestly desire our Representatives in Con
gress to procure snch modification of the
existing laws as the nnwise legislation of
the Republican party in 1857 renders abso
lutely necessary to the prosperity of the
great industrial interests of the Slate of
Pennsylvania, Passed at the Reading Con
vention, March 2, I860. ' '
Bepnblican LoTe for the Irish.
. The Black Republicans just now profess
great respect for our Irish fellow citizens.
In the infamous Helper Book, an election
eering document which these unprincipled
men are now circulating broadcast through
out Pennsylvania, and which all the leading
Republicans in the country endorsedand to
-which William H. Seward, John Sherman,
and five-sixths of all the Republican Con
gressmen of last winter, give a special rec
ommendation, the following specimen of big
otry and intolerance is to be found :
' "With the intelligent Protestant element
of the Fatherland (Germany) on our side,
we can well afford to dispense with the igno
rant Catholic element of the Emerald Isle.
. In the influences which they exent on soci
ety, there is so little difference between
Slavery, Popery, and Negro Driving Democ-
vendintr Crisis, page 83.
This is the love, the Republican leaders
entertain for our Irish, fellow citizens ; who
. are now invited to vote for Abolitionism,
and Know-Nothingism, and thereof vote
away their rishts of citizenship, and assist
to place negroes above lberaselyesf-aTrd
even to elect negroes to osy-rThas been a!
ready done in Ohio. "
- " Republican " Protection." Justice and
troth, everything like fairness and honesty,
eeera utterly discarded by the Republican
party. The Tribune, the Republican organ,
eays 'A protective Tariff is the Republican
creed;" and VV. C. Bryant, editor of the
old free trade Evening Tost, heads the New
York Electoral ticket. He is the Republi
can candidate, and he says : "If Republi
canism means protection to American labor,
ha do-?s not belong to the party." So much
for the "protection" of a leading Republi
can organ, and so much for the open decla
ration of the free , trade editor who leads
the Uncoin electoral iicfcci iu iub oiaio ui
New ' York.' This agrees, too, with their
Republican Vice President, Hamlin, an anti
tariff man, who was the' bitterest enemy of
Mr. Clay and bis protection to American in
dustry. Now see the astounding fraud.
This same Republican party, steeped in ne
gro hypocrisy to the very lips, is practicing
if possible, a still greater' imposition upon
Ihe honest working men of our State the
productive classes of Pennsylvania.
Another New Paper, ont for John C
Breckinridge and Joseph Lane, has made
in appearance among our exchanges, bear
ing for its title "Democratic Test." It is
published by J. B. Cooper, in New Bloom
field, Perry county.--It' is well edited and
racy, that we are not at an surprise w
them going in their diabolical work of in
humanity and desolation." Helper's Im-

- Our Republican friends met in County
Convention, in the Court House, at this
place, on last Saturday afternoon, and nom
inated the following ticket :
J For Congress, they instructed Conferees
to-support George W. Scranton, of Luzerne
Senator, Frank Stewart, of Berwick, receiv
ed the Conferees, with instructions, to sup
port his nomination; Representative Con
ferees were appointed, uninstructed, we
believe, as ; they presented no candidate
irom this county;- Prothonotary, Jacob D.
Melhck, of Scott; Register and Recorder,
Thomas J. Morris, of Bloom ; Commission
er, Nehemiah Reece, ol Ceutre; Auditor,
Levi Aikman, of Centre. ;
These are ihe nominations : and they are,
by our party, as well as a portion of their
own,' considered rather poor material lo
place before an intelligent people for their
suffrages. A much stronger ticket could
have been framed ; but this is all the better
for our candidates, besides it goes to show
that they do not understand themselves.
There was no contest for any of the norai
nations. ' They labor hard to keep up their
organization in this county.
This Convention was not largely attended
over one half of the townships were not
represented. Bloom township turned out
well furnished nearly, if not one-third of
the Convention. The represented of Orange,
George W. Lott, was chosen chairman ; and
Jacob D. Mellick and John Hantaan acted
as Secretaries.
Harmonious action seemed to character
ize all the proceedings throughout the Con
vention, with the exception of the appoint
ment of the Senatorial Conferees, when in
structions were about to be applied. Some
of the most active ones in Convention were
opposed to instructing the Conferees, while
others argued the importance, and that it
was due Mr. Stewart, they be instructed for
him. On leaving it to a vote, instructions
carried.
All business before the Convention being
transacted, Dr.Brower, of the Montour Amer
ican, (who, by the way, is ever ready on
such occasions, to give vent to some of his
spleen and venom, which he entertains in
large portions, towards the Democratic par
ty,) was called upon to make a speech; but
what is a little singular, tbis time he politely
declined speaking, tendering the invitation
to one Mr. Bonnd, of Milton, who address
ed the Convention over three-quarters of an
hour in length, in a manner pleasing to his
Republican friends. He is rather an able
and eloquent speaker, but the views which
he advanced in relation to the tarifl, were
altogether antagonistic to those entertained
by the Democratic party. He claimed that
the Republican party were truly a tarifl
party ; arid intimated that their action last
winter, in relation to the Morrill Bill, was
sufficient to satisfy any right thinking man
that such was the fact. We contend that
they deserve no credit at our hands for what
they have thus far done ; they only attempt
ed to set aright what they in 1857 spoiled ;
and now ask credit. Just look at the incon
sistency ! - '
Fcrney'i Old Grudge Against foster.
That truthful sheet, the Press, in its edi
tion of Friday last, published what purport
ed to be a letter from Somerset, giving an
account of a meeting held there, at which
the Hon. Henrt D. Foster spoke. Senti
ments were therein stated to have been ut
tered by Gen. Foster in relation to the ter
ritorial question which he had no doubt,
when reading it, were never spoken. Since
then Ger.. Foster has arrived in this city,
and we find upon inquiry that just as we
expected, the statements of the letter are
utterly destitute of truth, no such remarks
having been made by him, either there or
elsewhere; One can scarcely imagine that
any man could be so lost to a sense of troth
as is the abandoned political desperado of
the Press; but it seems that in his malic
ions efforts to destroy the Democratic party
and its candidates, there is nothing too
base for him to do. The deep-seated, bit
ter grudge he has against General Foster is,
of course, well-known, and that he should
imagine that he can deceive any one is
preposterous in the extreme. His Forrest
letter proves him capable of the perform
ance ot any dishonorable act, and General
Foster need not expect to escape the fangs
of one bad enough to deliberately plan the
destruction of a helpless woman. As the
election approaches look out for a double
concentrated lie.Pennylvaman

TLo1 Democracy of Columbia County are
hereby notified that a Democratic Mass
Meeting and Pole Raising will take place
at the public house of Mr. Ezeeiel Cole, in
Sugarloaf township, Colombia county, on
Saturday, tke 15th inst.e and to which the
citizens of this county, as well as adjoining
counties, are invited. Preparations are be
ing made for a grand and enthusiastic out
pouring of the masses. Able and patriotic
speakers have been solicited and are ex
pected to be in attendance. Rally, freemen,
in the cause of the Union and the Constitu
tion !
Thakks. Hon. laac I. Stevens, of Ore
gon, the Chairman of the Breckinridge
National Democratic Committee, will please
accept our thanks for a complete copy of
the proceedings of the late Democratic
National Convention. The volume , is com
posed of 255 octavo pages, and contains
the proceedings, in detail, of the Convention
from its meeting at Charleston to its adjourn
ment at Baltimore. We regard it as a val
uable document, as it contains one ot the
most important chapters in the political
history of our country.
The Daily State Sentinel is the title of a
neatly printed sheet, lately established in
Harrisburg, and . devoted to the sopport of
Douglas and Johnson for the Presidency,
and occasionally grow quite warm in the
caoe. It is edited with considerable ability,
and is doing its best for the success of our
nominee for Governor,-Henry D Foster.
( The Gfearges against ; Mr. Hamlin not yet
'improved. j
The grave charge preferred against Mr.
Hamlin, the Black Republican candidate
for the Vice Presidency, has not yet been
fairly met, either by unequivocal denial or
satisfactory explanation. That- charge is,
that Mr. Hamlin, while a Senator of the
United Slates, received fees, or emoluments,
or pay to the amount of seven thousand dol
lars, for lobbying bills through Congress,
and that personally . solicited the votes of
members therefor. This charge . emanates.
Irom a most respectable and responsible
source. It was made openly and publicly.
It is a grave charge, and if true should
blast Mr. Hamlin in the estimation of all
upright men. A corrupt, money-making
Senator, who sells his votes and his influ
ence lor filthy lucre, is not the sort of man
to be elected to the second office in this
great Republic. To run such a man is to
insult the natibn. It should damn the ticket
on which his name is placed and the party
that has the baseness, the dishonesty and
hardihood to support it. It is an outrage
that has no parallel in party contests.
. If untrue, it should at once and forever
be set at rest. It cannot be passed over in
Bilence. Ample time for refutation has been
allowed, but no sufficient and satisfactory
refutation of it has yet appeared. The fail
ure to disprove it must be treated as a lull
confession of its truth.
Getting Alarmed.
The Union movements in New York,
Pennsylvania. New Jersey, Connecticut
and Indiana, have stricken alarm and con
sternation into the Republican camp. The
divi8iojs in the conservative forces gener
ally filled their minds with visions of sue
cess and they fancied that the White House
was already in their possession. But the
sober second thought has already taken
hold of the people and the conservative
forces are rallying with a power and force,
that these promulgators of treasonable doc
trines never anticipated. The great danger
threatening our country has awakened the
dormant energies of a people who love
their whole country, and ever where the cry
oi union and victory is in the ascendant.
Without the votes of Pennsylvania, New
York, New Jersey, Connecticut and Indi
ana, the Republicans are destined to have
an overwhelming defeat. Without these
states, especially without New York and
Pennsylvania, the black cohorts of treason,
will be scattered as chaff before the wind.
Tbis they well know, and hence the alarm,
that the New York Tribune, and other kin
dred abolition sheets are sounding. They
kuow the people the conservative people
of the country have become tired of aboli
tionism, and are getting aroused. These
journals have been struck with fear and
trembling. Democrats conservative men
stand firm let union and victory be the
watchwords and the triumph is ours !
That Rail.
'A rail supposed to have been split by
Abraham Lincoln, 20 years ago, was recei
ved by Wm. B. Mann, through Hatden's
Express, direct from Illinois, for one of the
Repoblican clubs of Philadelphia, on Mon
day last. The freight was $2.00."
The above is the substance of a para
graph appearing in several of the Philadel
phia papers on Tuesday morning. We are
able to prove thut that rail never came from
Illinois neither was it split by Lincoln. It
was sent from Williamsport, Pa., probably
stolen irom some honest farmer's fence,
near that place. This is only one of the
many humbugs got op by the Lincolnites to
attempt to fool honest men ir.to their ranks
The rail-splitting cry has not created a par
ticle of enthusiasm among the people, and
since it has failed, we advise the Republi
cans to let people's fences atone. The sim
ple fact is the people don't want a Presi
dent to split rails for them, but to administer
the affairs of his office in a statesman like
manner. There are plenty Democrats in
Pennsylvania who are as honest as old
Abe, and who consider it mora honorable
to keep on splitting rails and to vote for
Breckinridge and Lane in November, than
to be the candidate of a party which de
clares open war against the Constitution,
the equality of the States, and the authority
of the Supreme Court.
Hon. George D, Jackson and Col. James
Deegan, were appointed Representative
Conferees, at the late Democratic County
Convention in Sullivan, to meet similar con
ferees of this Representative District, at
Danville on the 14th inst , for the prtrpose
of making the District Representative nom
inations. The members justly belong to
Columbia and Wyoming, and we hope the
conferees from Montour and Sullivan will
concur in the nomination of the choice of
these two counties Col. H. R. Kline and
Thomas Osterhout.
Col. R. Keller, of Snyder county, paid
our town a visit on last Tuesday. The Col
onel looks hale and hearty, and feels in
good spirits. He is presented, by his coun
ty, for re-nomination and election to the
Senate, from this Senatorial District. There
will be, from present indications, a tight
and a long pull for this nomination.
Each county in the District has a candidate,
with some pretensions to claims, asking for
this nomination. To make the matter short,
we hope the other counties will concede the
nomination to the worthy candidate from
this county, M. . Jacison, Esq.

The Republican papers all over the State
have simultaneously turned their guns
;ainat the Bell and Everett men, from
which we infer that -Bell and Everett are
looming np. The Republicans imagined
that they had absorbed or crushed the con
servative element of the Opposition, and
have suddenly discovered their .mistake
hence this discharge of field pieces and
small arms all along the liner The Bell
men are expected to quake in their shoes
at all thunder, and allow themselves to be
scourged into immediate submission.' - But
they don't appear to be a bit alarmed.
They continue to hold meetings and recruit
their ranks right in the face of the enraged
Republicans. If they continue to make
such rapid progress it will be a question
before November whether Lincoln or Bell
will receive most votes in the State.
Pennstlvahia. The last ten days have
witnessed a manifest change in the Presi
dential chances in Pennsylvania. We are
now decidedly of opinion that in the end
there will be but one electoral ticket in the
field in that State against Lincoln. The ar
rangement of the Pennsylvania Democratic
State Committee ia fair and honorable to
both parties. It is no fusion or compromise,
but a test for strength. The candidate who
receives the largest vote, whether Breckin
ridge or Douglas, is to have the electoral
vote in the College, if the ticket succeeds.
It is simply a reference of the whole matter
to the popular will ; both sides agreeing to
abide by the decision of the majority within
the Democratic party. All shades of the
party, with the Bell Everett vote, will be
united on Foster for Governor. It he should
be elected, as we now believe he' will be,
Lincoln will never get the vote of the State.
The Japanese Heard From The steam
frigate Niagara, which left New York on
the 30th of June, with the Japanese Embas
sy on board, reached the Cape de Verde
Island on the 17th of July, having made the
distance in seventeen days. The Japanese
expressed themselves as much pleased
wiih their visit to this country. The Am
bassadors had caused to be removed from
(he cabin assigned to thera almost every
article of furniture which had been provi
ded for them in New York at great cost,
preferring to sit on the carpet in Oriental
style. They managed to while away their
lime in eating seven or eight times a day,
smoking, playing chess, aud caressing their
great toes which latter operation afforded
them evident solace and satisfaction. Tom
my was as lively and amusing as ever.
Texas. Texas has just vindicated in her
State election our assertions that she is
overwhelmingly for Breckinridge and Lane.
The Austin Slate Gazette says :
"We send to our sister States the first
note of triumph in the canvass for the Presi
dency. All our returns come in indicating
an avalanche victory for the Breckinridge
nd Lane Democracy. Our State ticket
will be elected by ten thousand majority at
least. The revolution which has ocenrred
since last year, shows that the sober sec
ond thought of the masses is a most com
plete repudiation of Gen. Sam Houston in
Texas. Let the Democracy of Missouri, of
Tennessee, of Maryland, of North Carolina,
of New Jersey, Pennsylvania and other
States keep the ball moving. We have
done our duty, and in November next we
shall poll 20,000 majority for Breckinridge
and Lane."
Before Congress adjourned, a distin
guished member of the United States sent
a copy of the Morrill Tariff Bill to Abram
Lincoln, with the request that he would
give it his endorsement and return it. It
was desirable to place him right upon the
record so far as Pennsylvania's interests
are concerned, but he was not disposed to
be thus caught. -He has not been heard
from since upon the subject, and, we sup
pose, intends to keep the bill in bis pocket
until after the election. Can the Republi
can papers tell us why Mr. Lincoln don't
endorse the tariff measure which the Re
publicans think necessary to the salvation
of the country.

Jackson and Reynolds were nominated
for Governor, by a State Convention held in
April. That Convention passed, without
one dissenting voice, this resolution :
"That the Democratic party of -Missouri
hold these cardinal principles on the subject
of slavery in the Territories: 1st. That
Congress has no power to abolish slavery
in the Territories. 2d. That the Territorial
Legislature has no power to abolish slavery
in any Territory, nor prohibit the introduc
tion of slaves therein, nor any power to ex
clude slavery therefrom by unfriendly leg
islation, nor any power to destroy or im
pair the right of property in slaves by any
legislation whatever."
The doctrines of this resolution are the
antipodes of those maintained by Mr. Doug,
las. After the action of the Baltimore Con
vention, these candidates, being called out,
stated that, white standing by the doctrines
of '.he platform upon which they were nom
inated, they would yet vote for Douglas,con
sidering him ihe regular candidate of the
party. This was in July, within a few
weeks of the election. They had been can
vassing the State three months. The whole
party were supporting them. Four-fifths
of the Democratic newspapers, and. nearly
all the leading men in the State, like Sena
tors Green and Polk, advocated their elec
tion. They asked the votes of the Demo
cratic people on the ground that they were
i the regular nominees of the parly, without
reference to their Presidential views, and
upon that ground received them and were
elected. If the election indicates anything,
it is an endorsement by Missouri of the res
olution Tfl have quoted, which was advo
cated by the successful candidates on every
stump, and which covers the whole ground
of the platform on which Mr. Breckinridge
stands in the pending canvass. It is not a
Douglas triumph in any sense it is an en
dorsement of Breckinridge's principles.

by overwhelming majorities, is impossible.
We are daily in receipt of letters from lead
ing Democrats in different parts of the South
which state that the utmost enthusiasm
prevails among the people for our gallant

liar as Forney's "Occasional." The idea
that Mr. Breckinridge would decline be
cause Kentucky went for Gen. Coombs, is
preposterous. Coombs and Letcher always
beat everybody they ran against, except
Breckinridge, who always beat them.

Convention made the following nomina
tions on Tuesday : For Congress, S. E
Ancona for the full terra, and J. K. M'Kenty

Old Lindsat Dead. We learn from the
Reading Gazette that Col. Hugh Lindsay
eied at his residence in Lower Heidelberg
township, Berks county, on Thursday night
last. There is, perhaps, no man living who
is more extensively known throughout this
and the neighboring counties, than Col.
Lindsay. He was fifty-six years of age.
Easlon Sentinel.
A Change. The Chambersburg Times,
heretofore one of the blackest of Black Re
publican sheets, reached us on Monday
with the name of Lincoln down, and that of
Douglas up. The late proprietors 6ay that
for want of spondulix they had to surrender
at discretion, and sell out to the Douglas
men. This looks blue for the blacks of Frank
lin.
The Prince ot Walks. It is estimated
that the visit of his Royal Highness the
Prince of Wales will cost the Provincial
government of the Cauadas no less a sum
lhan 51,000,000, independent of the vast
amounts spent by the different towns.
