THE STATE CANVASS.
, The canvass in Pennsylvania has been ac
tively opened by Col. Curtin, our talented and
' popular candidate, who is now traversing the
State and addressing the people at various
points on the great political topics of the day.
Wherever he appears be is received with en-
' thnsiasm, and his speeches are awakening the
masses to (he importance of the contest. Of
commanding presence and attractive personal
appearance, an orator in every sense of the
term, conversant with the political history of
, the State and the Nation, and familiar with
the business interests and wants of the coun
try, be cannot fail to prodnce a favorable ef.
feet upon the largo gatherings which he is
called upon to address. Not can there be any
doubt as to his position. Taking the. broad,
national, conservative principles enunciated
by the Chicngo. Convention, he commends
. them to the people of the State, and urges the
election of Lincoln and Hamlin as the repre-
' sentatives of those views. What a strong con-
. trast between his course and that of his Dem
ocratic competitor! Can anyone tell where
ien. Foster stands ? Is he for protecting the
interests of the laboring men of our good old
'. Commonwealth, or is he in favor of the "pro
gressive free-trade" views of the Democratic
party 1 Is ho for Popular Sovereignty, or for
a Slave Code for the Territories ? For Doug
las, or for Breckinridge 1 For Freedom, or
lor Slavery 1 Is he for paying tho free, white
worklngman fair, living prices, or does he
think, like Ilerschel V. Johnson, that "capital
should own labor 7" Ho asks to be elected
. Governor, and the voters have a right to de
mand answers to these questions, in order that
they may know what to expect frein him.
His ability and prowess as a public speaker
, were the boast and pride of the Democratic
papors, but wo have not heard that he has ven-
tured thus far to define his position in this
' manner. Can any of his friends inform the
poople when they may expect to hear his over-
. powering eloquence, or shall the latter con
tinue to regard him as the "mum" candidate 1
Sbllino Out! Some facts have recently
been developed, which place the managers of
he Bell and Everett party in a very unenvia
ble light. . In New Toik, lustead of placing
in the field an electoral ticket, they have been
bat gaining with the Douglasites for a transfer
cf the Bell vote or that State to the Little Gi
' ant. In New Jersey, they were last week tra
ding with the Breckinridge men, and a "mon-
I grcl" electoral ticket was formed, having on
H three Breckinridgo, three Bell, and a dubi-
. ous Douglas elector the three Bell raeu on
this ticket being, however, also placed on a
- titraightout Bell and Everett ticket. In Geor
" gia, the Bell and Douglas schemers are trying
to strike a bargain ; and in Texas the former
will probably try to deal with the friends of
Houston. With these facts staring him in the
face, we do not see how any sincere opponent
of Democratic corruption and extravagance
. can vote the Bell-Everett ticket, when by so
doing bo is countenancing a pack of poli
tical speculators, headed by Washington Hunt
and Erastns Brooks of New York, in the ne
farious business of selling votes to the highest
. Democratic bidders no matter whether they
are Douglas or Breckinridge buyers. We ask
the few Bell men, who may be found here and
' there in tbis Slate, to give this matter their
serious consideration. It is rumored that, in
consequence of these bartering operations on
the part of some of the leaders of the Const!
- tulional Union party, Mr. Everett is about with
drawing from the canvass, having no idea of
' being made, as one of his editorial supporters
aaya, "a cats-paw for Joe Lane's chestnuts."
The Douglas State Couvention at Uarris
; burg last week was largely attended. Reso
lutions were adopted rejecting the proposition
1,or a joint electoral ticket, and "demanding
, that the State Committee shall interrogate the
-electors, and that the places. of all who will
' not pledge themselves for Douglas and John
aon shall be supplied by a Democratic State
t Convention that, in the event of any mem
bert of the State Committeo refusing to com
ply with this demand, the balance of said com
roittee shall carry' out the wishes of this con
. .vontion. '2?o compromise or fusion," is the
' Douglas watchword.
, Hon. John Hickman, on Tuesday of last
" wreck, at as immense Lincoln , and Hamlin
meeting held in Philadelphia, delivered a
speech, in which be defined his position,-and
gave bis roatons for supporting - the Republi
can candidates in preference toBreekinridgo,
Douglas, or Bell. The speech is a masterly
exposition of the views of .the several candi
dates for the Presidency. ' "
Ex-Mayor Va ax, of Philadelphia, wo learn,
will be present and addrers the Douglas meet-!-fng
at CurffeaBrillp) on Saturday,
"CAPITAL SHOULD OWN LABOR !"
Is not this a hard saying 7 Is it in harmony
with the spirit of the age? Whether wouid
"laboring men" Cheer or hiss such a sentiment?
Is it true or false ? Does ii belong to the
creed of a republic or ot a Despotism ?
. It was uttered by a man professing Democ
racy, and every Democrat in the land is, to
day, asked to vote for him. His nime is IIer
scuel V. Johnson, the Douglas candidate for
Vice President ! The heresy is embodied in
a ipecch made by him in Philadelphia on the
17th day of September,1856, and is as follows :
"We believe capital suoildown labor ; is
there any doubt that there must be a laboring
class everywhere 1 In all countries and under
every form of social organization there must
be a laboring class a class of men who get
there living by the sweat of their brow; and
theu there must be another class that con
trols and directs the capital of the country."
There have been a great many abominable
things said by tho advocates of Slavery. God
and humanity havo been alike insulted by
them. But by none of them has ever anything
more offensive been avowed than is hero bold
ly and unblushingly proclaimed by tbis can
didate of the Democracy for the high office of
Vice President of the United States.
To "own labor" is to own laborers. By "the
class of men who get their living by the sweat
of their brow," is not meant negroes merely ;
any more than that by the "class that controls
and directs the capital of the country," is
meant owners of negroes. It is a general
phrase, embodying all who labor fur their bread
white and black alike. "
In tho opinion of Douglas Democrats, the
man who owns a Cotton Factory should own
the men, women and children who attend
the looms and spindles. In Ilerschel V. John
son's opinion, the man who owns a Machine
Shop or Furnace, should own the Machinists
and Moulders whose labor contributes o his
wealth. In the opini.m of the man whom the
Douglasites support for Vice President, who
ever has capital enough to employ laborers
should own them, whether ' those who labor
are Cotton Pickers, Farmers, Engine Build
ers, Carpenters, Masons, Blacksmiths, Hatters,
Saoemakers, Brewers, Hod-Carriers or Prin
ters, ne makes no distinction. All laborers
should be owned by those who are rich enough
to employ labor ! -
White Men 1 What do you think of the
demagogue who utters such a doctrine, or of
the party who seeks to honor him for it 7 Jt
was uttered, we repeat, by Ilerschel V. John-
son, and tho Democratic party is laboring to
make him Yice President of the United States!
Will you vote for him ? Do you think, as he
does, that the man who is poor should be the
purchased slave of the man who is rich 7 Is
it your opinion you who "get your living by
the sweat of your brow" that "Capital should
own labor ?" Whatever may be your opinion
of Xegro Slavery, do you think White men
should be made Slaves ? Mb. Journal.
Washington, Ji.ly 26, 18G0. Considerable
excitement prevails in Occaquan, Virginia,
sixteen miles from Alexandria, in consequence
of an attempt being made to demolish a liberty
pole, erected by the Republicans, upon wnich
is daily displayed a nag bearing the names of
Lincoln and Hamlin. Occaquan is the resi-
ence of Mr. Underwood, who was driven out of
Virginia in 185G for attending the National
Convention that nominated Fremont. He
was a delegato to Chicago, and, it is said, is sus
tained in bis course at homo by three hundred
men. ' It is reported here that the mob is head
ed by tho captain of a millitary company, who
has resigned his office, and that General Hat-
ton consented to let them have arms. The
Republicans of Occaquan held a meeting on
Monday nigh and resolved to fortify and de
fend their liberty pole and flag at all hazards.
They sent to Alexandria and this city for am
munition, and notified Governor Letcher of
all the facts in the case, and im formed him if
he did not protect them they should do it
themselves. He despatched a messenger last
night stating that they should be protected,
and orderedGeneral llatlon to call out bis com
mand, whereupon Hatton resigned. Sixty
Republicans swear to die before they surren
der their liberty pole and flag. Tne military
of Alexandria are expecting orders to march
to-night to Occaquan. Wo have no news from
there of to-day's doings.
New Jf.rset Politics. The first important
movement of this campaign, involving the se
lection of an electoral ticket was made cn
Wednesday at Trenton, where the anti-Republicans
of every name gathered in seperate or
joint Conventions. It was a very carnival of
fusion and coufusior. Three electoral tickets
were nominated. One Convention called bv
the Democratic State Committee, consisted of
420 supporters of Breckinridge and 120 sup
porters of Douglas. This body nominated a
fusion ticket, consisting of three Breckin
ridge men, three Bell men, and one so called
Douglas man; if the vote of the State will elect
any one of the three candidates then all these
electors are to go for him; if not, they are to
vote as they please, provided that in no event
are they to vote for Lincoln. Next the Bell
and Everett Convention, which nominated a
full ticket, including the three Bell men on
the fusion ticket, and giving the State Com
mitlee power to fill vacancies. Finally, there
was a Straight Douglas Couvention, called bv
the New Jersey members of the Democratic
National Committee. Here a full Douglas
ticket was nominated, not including the so-cal
led Douglas man on the fusiou ticket.
A Cocple op Discnionists. Mr. Lawrence
M. Keitt, of South Carolina, has never been
regarded as a man profoundly wise, and ho
has talked disunion in Congiess so loner, that
nobody, at either the South or the North, ever
treats what bo sa3s as worthy of serious
thought. In the profound calm with which
people are awaiting the election of Lincoln,
he once more lifts up his voice, and appears
before tne woria with a long document, declar
ing that the ouly honorable course for South
Carolina to pursue is to secode from the Union,
as soon as the success of the Republican party
is known. Mr. W. L. Yancv writes a briefer
letter, looking to the . same remedy for the
grievanco of a Republican President. Sensi
ble men in all sections are accustomed to theso
little outbursts of folly from such men as Keitt
and Yancy, and they are not alarmed at
them. Tho letters are not worth publishing,
and still less worth predicating revolutions
upon. There is plenty of patriotism, conserv
atism and good sense at the South to submit
to tho constitutional election of a Republican
President, and to try how be governs, before
thinking of secession. ,
The German papers relate that recently
there arrived at one of the first hotels ot Ber
lin, a most elegant traveler fresh from Cali
fornia." After affecting for half an hour or so
the most aristocratic of airs, and altogether
behaving like a Russian boyard with thousands
of serfs trembling at his beck, ho disclosed
himself to the wondering waiters as one of
their former co-operators in the service of the
establishment. ' A few years ago he had been
"boots" at the hotel. : He had left for Califor
nia,' and came back as the millionair, that he
pretends to be, or at least with money enough
to pay his bill handsomely. ;
An Oregon paper says that Joe Lane cannot
carry that State. It advises Joe to "take wa

TICAL ITEMS.
The Douglas men are beginning to deny
that their champion ever said be dian t care
whether slavery was voted down or up. A
reference to the Congressional Globe for 1857
8, volumn 1, page 18, will refresh their memo
ries on this point. They will there read, in
Mr. Doug'las' speech in the Senate, on the 19th
of December, 18o7, as follows : "But I am
told on all sides i "Oh, just wait; the pro
slavery cause will be voted down." That does
not obviate any of my objections ; it does not
diminish any of them. You have no more
right to force a free State Constitution on
Kansas than a slave State Constitution. If
Kansas wants a slave State Constitution she
bus a right to it. It is none of my business
which way the slavery cause is decided. 2
care not whether it is voted down or vp.
An occurrence in one of the interior
counties of New York ludicrously illustrates
the bewilderment into which the double-headed
Presidential nomination has thrown the
Democracy. When the news of the nomina
tion of Douglas flashed along the wires, a vil
lage Postmaster summoned the "unterrHied"
to bring out the gun and fire a salute. They
had got about half through the allotted num
ber of discharges, when a messenger from the
telegraph office informed them that the Sece
ders had nominated Breckinridge. "The d 1
they have," said the Postmaster. Standing a
moment in a brown study, he shouted, "Boys !
there is no knowing into whose hands we may
fall. Load for Breckinridge .'"
The Democracy of Vermont have igain
put up John G. Saxe for Governor. Now let
them take hold and give him their every vote.
They will be few enough at best; but let him
have the last one. John is a clever fellow, a
genius, a wag. and writes good, lively, rattling
verses; above all, lie is a genuine Hunker, be
lieving in Rum, Slavery, and all other Demo
cratic principles, if there be any other. Let
him have a vote that will be really compli
mentary one that will do to quit upon, lie
is too clever a fellow to be distanced year af
ter year for life N.Y.Trib.
In Washington city, D. C, application
was recentlyniade by the Republican Associa
tion for permission to raise a liberty pole in
that city. The Mayor consented, as did also
the Commissioner of Public Buildings,at first,
but after nine davsdelav in an examination of
the laws, Dr. Blako has discovered that it is
unlawful to erect liberty poles in that district,
and therefore the permit is withdrawn. Queer
country this when a liberty pole can't stand in
the capital of the republic.
In the State of Vermont there are some
what less than two drinocrats to tha square
mile ! Yet, notwithstanding this, the party
seems to be very much split vp; for of the
seven national democratic papers in the State,
three aro for Douglas, two for Breckinridge
and two on the fence. LTnder these afflictive
circumstances we do not see how the Democ
racy of the Green Mountain State can be ex
pected to carry it.
The Washington Star calls Douglas's
friends "a gang of Abolitionists in disguise,"
and seems really pleased that they have left
tho Democratic party. The Douglas men say,
practically, the same thing over the r ire hat
ers. Each seem to bo glad they have got rid
of the other; and the poople are glad that
they are about to get rid of them both. So
we are "jolly" all around.
Gov. Seward, who the Democratic papers
predicted would turn a cold shoulder to "hon
est old Abe" because ho was not himself nom
inated, in order to show his sincerity in the
support of Lincoln and Hamlin, has agreed to
visit Michigan in September and address the
people in favor of the Republican candidates.
From there ho will go to Minnesota for the
same purpose.
The difference between the parties is thus
graphically set forth by an exchanffe. The
Republicans areni favor of voting slavery
down in our Western Territories ; the Breckin
ridge party is in favor of voting it up ; the
Douglas party don't care whether it is voted
up or clown ; and the Bell and Everett party
"don t know anything about nothing."
The best description of what is really in
tended by squatter sovereigntv, was given in
a speech delivered by Abraham Lincoln, in
Cincinnati, in September, 1859, as follows
"Douglas popular sovereignty is simply this-
If one man chooses to make a slave of anoth
er man, neither that man nor anybody else has
a right to.object."
At the meeting of the Houston State Com
mittee held in New loik city last ednesday,
letters were read from Massachusetts, statins
that Mr. Everett has it in contemplation to
withdraw from tho Presidential contest in di
gust at the duplicity with which he is treated
by the leaders of the so-called Union party in
iNw lork State.
Kansas is still out of the Union, because
Douglas refused to raise his voice in her favor.
With all his pretended zeal for the will of the
people, he had not the moral courage to plead
for the admission of Kansas. He is as bold as
a lion to do wrong, but he hasn't the courago
of a mouse in the causo of humanity and
justice.
The Albany 1rzns welcomes the Bell men
of that State to tho bosom of the Democratic
party, and thinks it will be "like Blucher com
ing up with the Prussians" and declaring the
fate of the battle. The Utica Herald says it
is more like the Hessians coming over to help
ueorge xnira ana getting whipped at that.
At the Breckinridge meeting in New
York the other evening, Daniel S. Dickinson
said that when the N ew England and North
western delegates at Baltimore promised their
States to Douglas, that pledge was made "sub
ject to a slight incumbrance, held by one Jlbra-
nam Lincoln."
A Breckinridge paper says that the Dem
ocratic tactions are lighting for "principle.
Upon which an exchange remarks "that under
the circumstances it is no wonder that the De
mocracy are somewhat bewildered at the nov
elty of the contest in which they are engaged."

' Gerrit Smith, the New York abolitionist,
is out again as a candidate lor tho Presidency
Asotiier IIorrob in Iowa. Iowa isgaining
a very unenviable notoriety. The recent Ot-
umwa and Kephart murders are fresh in the
public mind. Here is another piece of brutal
ity: Tho Qskaloosa Herald says a worthless
scoundrel named Hall, living near Tallyrand,
Keokuk county, treated his wife with fiendish
cruelty a few days since. She had been teach
ing school to maintain the family. Without
her knowledge he drew her. wages, then beat
her, took from her person every article ot
clothing, and with a cord tied her hands and
feet, and left her in that condition. He then
burned every particle of her wearing apparel,
and left her naked and tied, to escape as best
she might. Her cries soon brought assistance
and relief, but the Send had fled.
We omitted to notice last week that the
Marietiian, printed by F. L. Baker, Esq.,came
out for Lincoln and Hamlin. You are on the
right track now, Fred., and wo wish you all

Elk CocxTr. We learn by the Ridgway
Advocate that. on tho 16th July, the steam
saw-mill of Joseph S. Hyde, Esq., about 5
miles above that place, was destroyed by fire.
Owing to the combustible nature of the build
ing, in a very short time after' the fire was dis
covered, it was enveloped in a sheet of name,
and was sown a mass of charted and smo
king timbers. By the most incredible exer
tions about a 100,000 feet of boards and 500
logs were saved from the devouring element ;
bat the total loss will not fall far short of $12,
000, on which there is no insurance. The or
igin of the fire is unknown, but it is strongly
suspected to be tho work of an incendiary.
This is the second steam mill which Mr. Hyde

results, is almost incredible. It appears that
the hands were in the habit ot keeping ice in
the saw-dust under a bench. Young Chalmers
had crawled in to g-t the ice, when one ol the
workmen set a circular saw in motion, not
knowing that the boy was so near. As he was
emerging from the place, the boy's head came
in coutact with the saw, and in a twinkling
penetrated the brain to the depth of three in

HOSTETTER'S STOMACH HITTERS.
It is a fact that, at some period, every mem
ber of the human family is subject to disease or
disturbance of the bodily functions ; but, with the
aid of a good tonic and the exercise of plain com
mon sense, they may be able eo to regulate the sys
tem as to secure permanent health. In order to ac
complish this desired object, the true rourse to pur
sue is certainly that which will produco a natural
state of things at the least hazard of vital strength
and life. For this purpose, Dr. Hostettcr has in
troduced to this couutry a preparation bearing his
name, which is not a new medicine, but one that
has been tried for years, giving satisfaction to all
who have used it. The Bitters operate powerfully
upon the stomach. Rowels, and liver, restoring them
to a healthy nnd'vigorous action, and thus, by
the simple process of strengthening nature, ena
ble the system to triumph over disease.
For the cure of Dyspepsia, Indigestion. Nausea,
Flatulency, Lossof Appetite, or Biliouscomplaints,
arising from a morbid inaction of the Stomach or
Bowels, prod ucingCramps,Dyscntary,Ch'.lie,Chol
era Morbus, Ac, these Bitters have no equal.
Diarrhoea, dysentery or flux, so generally con
tracted by new settlers, and caused principally by
the change of water and diet, w ill be specdily'reg
ulated by a brief use of this preparation. Dyspep
sia, a disease which is probably more prevalent
in all its various forms, than any other, and the
cause of which may always be attributed to de
rangements of the digestive organs, can be cared
without fail by using lUiSTETTER S STOMACH
BITTERS, as per directions on the bottle. For
this disease every physician will recommend Bit
ters of some kind ; theu why not use an article
known to be infallible ? All nations have their
Bitters, ns a preventive of disease and strcngthen
er of the system in general; and among them all
there is not to be found a more healthy people
thau tho Germans, from whom this preparation em
anated, based upou sciecti&c experiments which
have tended to prove the value of this great pre
paration in the scale of medical science.
Fever and Agub. This trying and provoking
disease, which fixes its relentless grasp on the bo
dy of man, reducing him to a mere shadow in a
short time, and rendering him physically end men
tally useless, oan bo driven from the bodv by the
use of HOSTETTER'S RENOWNED BITTER'S.
Further, none of the above-stated diseases can be
contracted, even in exposed situations, if the Bit
ters are used as per directions. And as they nei
ther create nausea nor offend tbe palate, and ren
der unnecessary any change of diet or interrnp
tion of ordinary pursuits, but promote sound sleep
and healty digestion, and the complaint is rt-mo-ved
as speedily as is consistent with the produc
tion cf a thorough and permanent cure.
- iw l'ersons in Advanced Years, who are suffer
ing from an enfeebled consitution and infirm body,
these -Bitters are iuvaluable as a restorative of
strength and vigor, and need only be tried to be
appreciated. And to amother while nursingthese
Bitters ae indispensable, especially where the mo
ther's nourishment is inadequato to the demands
of the ehild, consequently her strength must yield,
and here it is where a good tonic, such as Hostet
ter's Stomach Bitters, is needed to impart tempo
rary strength and vigor to the system. Ladies
should by all means try this remedy for all ca
ses of debility, and, before o doing, should ask
their physician, who, if he is acquainted with the
virtue of the Stomach Bitters, will reoommeud
their use in all cases of weakness
! Caution, "We caution the publio against using
any of the many imitations or counterfeits, but ask
far Hostellers Celebrated Stomach Bitters, and see
that each bottle has the words "Dr. J. llostetter'a
Stomach Bitters" blown on the side of the bottle,
and stamped on the metalliccapeovering tho cork,
and observe that our autograph signature is on the
label. ("Prepared and sold by llostetterfy Smith,
