THE POOK MEN AND THE DEMOCRACY.
The hatred exhibited by leaders in the Dem
ocratic party is manifestly of the severest and
most insulting character. Every time an oc
casion occurs we are pnt in possession of some
tangible expression of their opposition to the
laboring man's interests. Not only does this
war on the industrial classes arise in their pol
icies of legislation, but it reveals itself in
public debate in the action of the Democrat
ic party whenever and wherever it Las the as
cendancy. In 1858 Senator Ilammond, of
South Carolina, insultingly denominated poor
men "mud sills of human society,'1 as if they
were nothing more nor less than a species of
the lowest brute creation ; and, in 1860, on
the floor of Congress, in this enlightened age,
Mr. Wigfall declares them to be criminals, and
honest poverty a crime t Right on the heels of
Wigfall's declarations como more astounding
assumptions from Senator Green, of Missouri,
who, in his opposition to the Ilomestead Bill,
uses the following choice language :
"What is there honest in giving my proper
ty away to some poor, infamous 'scoundrel ?
Do it, if you dare. I defy yoii. Doit! Do
it ! You vote away my property to the laza
roni to those infamous scoundrels who won't
work for a living, because you want their
votes. .You may get them, but they will spit
on you." ,
This is the exalted estimation in which the
Democratic party holds the poor man who is
compelled, from no crime of his own, to toil
from day to day, in order to procure for hira
sell and family the necessary comforts of life.
Yet, attho same time, just before elections,
when it is supposed their votes and influence
maybe of some uso toward elevating these
demagogues to honorable and lucrative posi
tions, they are patted upon tho shoulders, and
sycophantly adulated as "the bone,and sinew
of the land." There is something disgusting
in the conduct of the Democratic representa
tives, and every poor man should exhibit his
appreciation of their complimentary language,
by taking away from them their legislative
powers, at the ballot-box.
WHAT HIS OPPONENTS SAY OF HIM.
The nomination of Gen. John Fatton, of
Clearfield County ,as the Republican candidate
for Congress, seems to be peculiarly fortunate
and judicious. lie is a man against whom his
bitterest political enemies can say nothing
harmful, and tell the truth. Thoso who are
acquainted with him, concede that he is a man
of the highest probity and of the most unim
peachable character. The only objection that
can be urged against him is that of being a
firm and consistent partizan. In order that
our readers may know in what estimation his
opponents hold him, wo append a few extracts
from some of their papers. And first, the
Republican, the organ of the Democracy of
Clearfield county, says :
"Personally, Gen. Patton has many fine
qualities. As a citizen he is one of the most
useful, liberal and hospitable, and for those
reasons we hope he will be elected to stay at
home."
The Erookville Jcjfcrsonian, the Democratic
organ of Jefferson county, says :
- "The Republican Convention metatRidg
way, on the same day the Democracy assem
bled at Brookville, and nominated Gen. John
Patton, of Curwensviile, Clearfield county.
They too, seem to have been fortunate, and
have selected a gentleman of ability and hon
e$ty,and though not gifted with the fluency of
speech to make him an orator, his many social
qualities and charitable acts have won him
hosts of friends in his own county. We have
known Gen. Patton for nearly twenty years,
and although differing with us in politics, we
are compelled in justice to admit, that we have
never heard bis integrity or his private char
acter impeached by any one.
The Elk Advocate, an independent political
paper, with Democratic proclivities, says :
"The General is certainly a man well quali
fied for the position, and if elected there is no
doubt but he would make a faithful and efficient
member. We have only one objection to hira,
and that is be has always been a straight out
party man. .... We can honestly say, that but
lew men in Clearfield county have more warm
friends than Gen. Patton. We have had the
pleasure of bis acquaintance for some 25 years,
and during that time we never knew him to
be guilty of a dishonorable action. A man of
wealth, he is the acknowledged friend of the
roor man, and is always ready to aid those
who stand in need of his assistance." . -
Evans R. Brady, of Jefferson county, and A.
II. Benton, of McKean county, were last week
nominated at Ridgway by the Democrats as
their candidates for the Assembly in this Dis
trict. We are not aware of Mr; Benton's po
sition on the Presidential question Mr. Brady'
is a Douglas man. , It makes little difference,
as both areJikely to be defeated. : v
THE MILK IN THE COCOA-NUT.
- Every day or two, remarks the Tribune of
a recent da.e, the Telegraph brings us a
glowing account of a "Union" Convention in
this or that Free State, at which Bell-and-Ev-erett
Electors, or State candidates, are nomi
nated, or in some Congressional District where
a "Union" candidate for Congress is put for
ward.: Thus, Main, Connecticut, and Indiana
have been provided with Bell Electors, or with
the means of presenting such at short notice,
though nobody on earth believes that Bell
can possibly get a fortieth part of the vote of
either of these States, and though nobody im
agines that the Electors so nominated will be
voted for by even the handful engaged in
bringing them forward. Thus, Philadelphia,
Cincinnati, &c, have been supplied with Bell
candidates for Congress, who will be elected
(if ever) after several droves of camels have
walked, three abreast, through the eyes of a
whole pack of the finest cambric needles.
The object and the impetus of these nomina
tions may be learned from the following por
tion of the testimony taken before the Senate
Printing Investigating Committee last Win
ter S. J. Megargee, a paper dealer and lead
ing Democratic wire-puller in Philadelphia,
being the unwilling witness :
Question. Did you receive any money for
political purposes In Pennsylvania or New
Jersey from "Mr. Wendell ?
Witness. Am I really compelled to answer
such questions ?
Mr. Kennedy. I think it is within the scope
of the inquiry.
The Committee thought the question was a
proper one, and that it should be answered.
Answer. I did, Sir, receive money at various
times for political purposes.
Q. Were those moneys expended for the
promotion for the interests of the Democratic
party ?
A. Not all of them. Some of it was used
for a third party, which was organized to divert
vote i from what was known as the "People's par
ty" with us. The "People's party" was in
opposition to the Democratic party. We did
not know there the party organized as the
"Republican party." The opposition to the
Democratic party was called "the People's
party ;" and to divert votes from that party, the
third party was organized. The object was to
divide the "People's party."
Q. Was such a third party organized ?
A. Yes, Sir.
Q. Did you believe that was necessary to
tho success of the Democratic party ?
A. We certainly did, or we should not have
given them the money.
Q. What was that third party called ?
A. The "Straight American" party ;' the
"straight-outs."
Q. You speak both of Pennsylvania and
New Jersey ?
A. Yes, Sir.
Q. And of these States only ?
A. Yes, Sir ; of these only.
Having duly studied the interesting testi
mony, if there be any members of "the
People's party" who choose to help further
this dirty game of "divide and conquer," we
have nothing to say. All we insist is that
they shall understand it and that at all events,
they shall realize that it is perfectly under
stood by everybody else.
THE WAY IT WAS DONE.
Patrick Kerr, of Clarion County, who was
a prominent candidate for Congress before the
on the 8th iust., has written a letter, in
which he shows how ho was cheated out of
the nomination. He says after he had receiv
ed 12 votes to 11 for all others, a Clearfield
delegate moved that no one should bo declar
ed nominated by the chairman until he had
received 13 full votes, which was carried a
gainst the protest of the Clarion delegates
"thus introducing a new rule, contrary to all
right and usage, for my (Mr.'K's.) especial
case." "Convinced that it was an unworthy
artifice to operate especially against him,"
Mr. Kerr withdrew his name. He says of the
successful candidate, "had he been present,
bis sense of honor would not have permitted
him to participate in so transparent an artifice
or to accept a nomination secured in so ques
tionable a manner." Whether the fact that
Mr. Patrick Kerr is a Catholic, had anything
to do with chisseling him out of a nomination
to which, as he says, he was "undeniably enti
tled," is not for us to say ; but we should like
to know. what else could have induced the del
egates to resort to such an extraordinary mode
or butchering as was used to kill off Mr. Kerr.
HAS HE BEEN FOUND.
Considerable anxiety exists amongst the
friends of Gen. Foster, the Democratic can
didate for Governor, concerning his where
abouts since his mysterious disappearance at
Cresson, and the all-absorbing question now is
Has Foster been Found ? A contemporary
says that Carrigan, who was sent in pursuit,
has too short legs, and too round a stomach
to make time. We insist that soma long-legged,
lank committee be sent out to scour the
mountains, and bring in the General dead or
alive. Every one who has read that pathetic
story "The Babes in the Woods" will sym
pathize with us in our efforts to have a com
mittee of "fast men" to hunt up tho General.
If we had any guaranty that like Elijah he
would be fed by the ravens until after the Ides
of October were past, then we would dry tip
our tears. But we won't be comforted while
Ilarry Foster is up a tree, or lost in thepino
swamp) around Cresson, and only a fat, puffy
committee in pursuit. : .
"Anybody to beat Lincoln," is the watch
word of the Breckinridge Democracy. They
are willing to join in with the "bloody Know
Nothings," who they until recently denounc
ed 6o bitterly, if thereby they can accomplish
their end. They now pat the Bell men on their
backs, xall them "good fellows," and urge
them to stick to their "principles." It will
not surprise us if we next hear that they are
trying to form a coalition with Gerrit Smith
and tho ultra Abolitionists.
Illinois. A gentleman from Illinois, who
visited Clearfield a few days since, says there
is no -doubt of that State giving Lincoln and
Hamlin,' at least 10,000 to 15,000 majority
that being the smallest estimated majority, and
one that candid men of all parties concede, .-.
POLITICAL ITEMS.
The Detroit Tribune says fifteen' Germans
in one ward in that city, heretoforo Democrats
are now strong for Lincoln; that in'Fowlers
ville, in that State, ten voters have recently
left the Democracy, and joined the Republican
party ; and that thirty-six Democrats in Che
boygan county, have within a few days declar
ed for Lincoln. It also gives the names of a
bout a score of men in different parts of the
State who have heretofore been prominent
Democrats, but now support Lincoln. In I
owa, the Democrat at Boonesboro', in Boone
county, has taken down the Douglas flag, and
come out for Lincoln; F. M. Atherton, a del
egate to the last Democratic State Convention,
is now a Lincoln man, C. Norris, of Nashua,
Chickasaw county, heretofore a prominent
Democrat, is now an active Republican.
Whipple Uawkins, who was a volunteer in
the war of 1812 and a resident of Buffalo at the
time it was burned by the British and Indians,
and since a resident of Geauga county, Ohio,
and now living in Sheboygan, Wis., writes to
a relative in Cleveland: "I have voted with
the democratic party for forty-nine years. I
have voted for every democratic candidate for
President since the days of Madison. The
democratic party has left me. The principles
of the present so called democracy are very
different from those of the old democratic par
ty. I shall give my vote to Lincoln and Ham
lin', and advise all old democrats, who have
the love and welfare of their country at heart
to do the same."
Judge Wilson of Chicago, has written a
letter on the. duty of Americans in the present
crisis. He has been a prominent member of
the American party, but now says that he can
not see the least chance for either Messrs
Bell or Everett, even should the election go to
the House. Mr. Breckinridge, he believes,
would perpetuate the corruptions of the pres
ent administration. Mr. Lincoln, on the other
hand, is honest and capable. He can be
charged with sectionalism with less reason
than either Douglas or Breckinridge ; so Judge
Wilson has determined to laborlor his election
as an American, to the best of his ability,
although he does not indorse all the doctrines
of the Republican party.
The editor of the Cumberland (Md.) Tel
egraph, the American organ, referring to a
statement that the Opposition party of Ala
bama had, in convention repudiated Bell and
Everett, and declared their purpose to support
Breckinridge and Lane says : "We prefer Mr.
Lincoln before either of the Democratic nomi
nees, and if driven from our support of Mr. Bell
by the treachery of our leading men if our
party is to be sold out to either wing of the
democracy then ire are for Lincoln, with lens
of thousands of others in good old Maryland."
The Memphis Tennessee Avalanche keeps
the following standing at the head of its lead
ing column, iu Urge letters : " We understand
that tho Hon. Emerson Ethendge made a
speech at Dresden, Tenn., during which he
read the Black Republican platform, aud as
ked if there was any man there who could find
fault with it. He further said that ths elec
tion of Lincoln on tht platform would give
peace to the country, whilst Breckinride's
would dissolve the Union."
Bell and Everett : fancy names, understood
only by the initated, signifying in one place
Breckinridge and Lane, in another Douglas
and Johnson, and elswhcre nothing at all.
Owing to the total uncertaintv as to their
meaning, the people are everywhere dropping
them, and adopting in their stead Lincoln and
numlin for their battle-cry in the war against
political corruption and hydra-headed wrong.
In a great and momentous contest like the
present, humbug is useless.
The rauk and file of the Bell and Everett
party in New Jersey are indignant at the con
duct of their leaders in attempting to transfer
them to the supporters of Breckinridge in
that State. The Monmouth Herald says : The
Bell men declare openly that their votes and
principles are not to be sold or traded off to as
corrupt an administration as the present one in
power, and that they will now give their votes
and interest to the Republican cause."
A writer in the Trenton Gazette states
that Gov. Olden of New Jersey expresses him
self unreservedly in favor of Lincoln and
Hamlin thus refusing the assertion that he
intended to support. Bell and Everett. The
writer says: Whatever may have been his
views of tho Filmore party in 1856, he recog
nizes the Bell movement now as only a trick
and device to save, if possible, the demoraliz
ed democracy.
In 1856, the Republicans had but one Ger
man paper in Indiana, but now the tables are
turned and the Democrats have but one, while
six are doing eflective service for the Repub
lican cause. The Illinois Stale Journal gives
a list of sixty-nine German papers ia that
country that have raised the Lincoln and
Hamlin flag.
The San Francisco Zlonilor Catholic has
come out in favor of Douglas, making ten Dem
ocratic journals in the State that have pro
nounced in favor of the "Little Giant."' The
Shasta Herald, Auburn Herald, Butte Demo
crat, Mountain Democrat, and Sierra Citizen,
are in favor of Breckinridge. They make sev
en on that side as far as heard from.
The Douglas men held a meeting in Spring-,
field, 111., the other day, and in the course of
the entertainment a new feature was introdu
ced. About thirty barefooted men rode about
the town in a wagon, displaying a banner on
which was the device, "The Barefooted De
mocracy are for Douglas and Johnson !"
Rennet's N. Y. Herald says: "Lincoln
will be elected: not only so, but from present
appearances ho will walk over the course."
That is the simple truth. Gentlemen who
mean to quit the Union on the fourth of next
March may well be settling up their business
and packing their trunks.
The Douglas party in Wilmington, Dela
ware, have nominated a full city ticket for
Mayor, Alderman, Treasurer, and other offi
cers. They have refused to fuse with the
Breckinridge branch, although offers to do so
were tendered to them. They prefer to go
alone, and take the consequences. '
The La Crosse j Wis, Nord Stein, hither
toa zealous and influential Democratic organ
in the German language, has put up the names
of Lincoln and Hamlin. The Germans of that
State who have before voted the Democratic
ticket, are coming by thousands into the Re
publican ranks. '."'.',
Gen. Benson, of Morrow County, Ohio, is
an old Soldier and Democrat, but he has re
solved to "train" with tho factionists no long
er. He has recently como out with a card
urging his fellow soldiers of 1813 to vote for
the Republican candidates.
At the Republican mass meeting in St.
Clair County, III., among the banners borne
in procession was one "Here are the Demo
crats of 1856," after which followed a large
party of men who voted for Bacahanan, but
will now vote for Lincoln.
Mr. Gillett, the Postmaster at Ravenna
Ohio crowded to choose between Douglas
and Breckinridge jumps over both, and lands
in the Repuplican camp.
It is stated that not less than one hundred
Germans abandoned Douglas for Lincoln, af
ter hearing tho speech of Carl Schurz at Po
kin, Illinois. ; , ' ;
: Hon. J, M. Mason, of Virginia, calls the
adherents of. Hon. Stephen A. Douglas "a
leprous band of Abolitiouists." -
PENNSYLVANIA ITEMS.
PREPARED FOR. THE "RAFTSMAN'S JOURNAL."
Venango Cocntt. The oil fever is on tho
increase. In speaking of. it the Spectator,
published at Franklin, says: The crowd of
strangers in our town suffers no diminution.
Our hotels are constantly filled to overflowing,
besides a large number of private boarding
houses People come here to the center of
Oildom and radiate in all directions prospect
ing, or visiting the wells. We are like Cali
fornia in the days of the first discoveries of
gold, except that we have a better and more
orderly population in our new comers. Large
shipments of oil were made last week for New
York by way of Erie, and nine hundred barrels
were shipped on Keelboats to Pittsburgh des
tined for the same place, on Monday of last
week. On Saturday last a rich vein of oil
was struck on the farm of n. M'Clintock, at
the depth of twenty six feet in the rock, and
tho flow of oil was very great. Chase & Al
don, on John M'Clintock's farm, on Oil Creek,
struck a splendid vein on Wedneday last.
Hoover's Well, two miles below Franklin, on
the bank of the river, is stated to be yielding
forty barrels a day. "It is hard to believe,"
says the editor, "but counting the barrels af
fords very positive evidence." Several other
wells are yielding thirty barrels a day.
Jefferson Countt. The barn belonging to
Jesse Geist, near Ringgold, was struck by
lightning on Sunday, the 29th ult. The barn
was filled with grain and hay, all of which was
consumed by fire, together with five head of
horses that were in the barn at the time. The
family with the exception of two small chil
dren, were at church Solomon Silvis, a
hand employed on Pain's saw mill, on the
North Fork, while engaged in getting logs to
the mill on Saturday, the 14th inst., fell from
the boom log and was drowned. He had a
pike pole in his hand when he fell iu, but re
fused to reach it to a man on the boom log

Wm. Gearheart, of Ringgold township, sow
ed two bushels of wheat on two acres ofground,
and reaped one hundred dozen of w heat. He
brought up three bushels of his wheat, which
weighed eighty pounds to the bushel. ... A
young man, named John Brocius, living in
Troy, was hauling wood with two horses on
Tuesday the 7th inst., and while out was over
taken by a thunderstorm. He and one of the
horses were instantly killed by lightning.while
the other horse escaped without injury.
Montour. Cocntt. The Danville "Ameri
can" gives the following account of an extra
ordinary suicide in that neighborhood : "We
are informed that a man by the name of Plech
er, residing four miles from this place, on the
Cattawissa road, committed suicide ly hang
ing himself on Saturday evening last. He was
addicted to the use of "Strychnine Whiskey,"
and had returned home with a fresh supply,
remarking to bis wife that there would be two
deaths before night. His wife became alarm
ed and hid herself. After preparing a place
lor two executions in the barn, he searched
for his wife, but being unable to find her, took
his two little children, the oldest being about
5 years of age, to the barn to see him die.
To one he gave his hat, and to the other his
handkerchief, when he deliberately swung off.
The children raised the alarm, but he was
dead before assistance came. Another victim
to the insatiate demon."
Cambria Cocxtv. A wonian named Clarke,
residing at the South Fork, in Croyle town
ship, was bitten on the 6th inst., by a rattle
snake, and she now lies in a critical condition.
The snake had been seen by 'one of the family,
and Mrs. C. being told of it. she took a hatch
et and, being near-sighted, in mistake cut the
tailoff the reptile. The head portion of the
snake took refuge in some weeds, whither it
was pursued by Mrs. Clarke, who was bitten
in the hands whilst parting the weeds in the
prosecution other search. ... Rev. restus
Tibbott, an old and highly respected citizen
of Cambria township, was on the 7th inst.
precipitated, by the breaking of a plank, upon
which he was standing at his son's grist-mill,
a distance of about 15 feet to the ground,
breaking two of his ribs, and materially de
ranging his entire spinal system. His injuries
were serious, but he is gradually improving.
Fayette Cocxtv. The Connellsville Patriot
tells the following snake story : " We are told
that a few days since Mr. Leonard, who lives
three or four miles up the river, killed some
sixty copperheads on a rock near a snake-den.
He could have killed more, but was forced to
leave the vicinity on account of the disagreea
ble odor of the serpents. Mr. Burgett, living
in the same neighborhood, lost ateer from
the bite of either a rattlasnake or copperhead.
Mr. B. informs us that turpentine is the most
effectual remedy for snake bites. The mouth
of the bottle containing the liquid should be
held against the wound until the poison is ex
tracted or neutralized.
nox. Jonx Covode. The Republican Con
ferees of the Congressional district composed
of the counties of Westmoreland, Indiana and
Armstrong, met at Kittanning on the 14th and
re-nomifiated Hon. John Covode, who is well
known the country over as being the chair
man of the Investigating, or "Smelling" Com
mittee, which called forth Mr. Buchanan's fa
mous Protest during the last session of Con
gress. Some difficulty had sprung up between
Mr. Cowan aud Mr. White, who were candi
dates for the nomination ; but in order to re
store harmony in the party, both withdrew,
and Mr. Covode was again placed in the field.
He lvill certainly be elected.
. A Docgals Electoral Ticket. The Doug
las State Executive Committee, which met at
Ilarrisburg last Wednesday, unanimously re
solved on bringing out a separate and distinct
electoral ticket, for the support of the friends
of Douglas and Johnson in this State. They
repudiate the Cresson scheme as an emanation
of the Buchanan Administration. To the Re
publicans it is a matter of indifference wheth
er their opponents are ueited or divided in
the campaign, as they intend to give Lincoln
and Hamlin from 20,000 to 30,000 majority in
Pennsylvania over all opposition. - -
Some days ago a man named llorton .was
killed by his own son in Clay connty, Indiana,
in a quarrel about a pistol which tho father
desired to take from his son, to prevent his
killing somebody with it. The parricide was
lodged in jail, and.iu the same jail were three
of his brothers one of them confined for theft,
the other two for obstructing legal process.
Four brothers in jail at the same time for dif
ferent offences is a spectacle not often seen.
The immense demand in England for Amer
ican sewing machines is exciting wonders. It
is estimated that not less than 20,000 Ameri
can machines will be sold in Great Britain the
coming year. One American factory turns
out every week nearly 1,000 . machines. An
English paper has no doubt that American
manufactures will be prepared to supply 200,
000 sewing machines during the year 1861.
The county paper of Mahoning county, O
hio, says that the number of sheep killed and
wounded by dogs during tho year 1853 was
914 390 being killed and 551 wounded.

A Mr. Swan, of Worcester, Mass., has a
three year old colt, iron grey, that bids fair to
become a mastodon. He is 17 hands high:
weighs over 1300 pounds, and for so large an
animal is short gaited and nimble. Mr. Swan
thinks at six years old, he can be made to
weigh at least 2000. He is large boned and
short jointed, and if his body should ever be
proportioned to his legs, it would puzzle a team
ster to find a load for him. Such horses would
be particularly valuable in the vicinity of toll
bridges, where the charges are so much a load
rather than by the ton.
A special providence seemed to protect four
