Grand Democratic Mbm Meeting,,
AT NORTHUMBERLAND,
On VM, the 2 Of A any or July.
The facility afforded of easy nnd convenient
conveyance by the North and West Branch and
Susqnehanna Division of the Pennsylvania Ca
nal, makes this a central and desirable point for
a grand demonstration to "YOUNG HICKORY,"
DALLAS, MUHLENBERG am Victor v.
We most cordially invite the Democracy of
neighboring districts to unite with us, and send
greeting to the several districts, in adjoining
counties, with the assurance that the indomitable
spirit of enthusiasm, every where animating the
yeomanry with a determination to avert the ca
lamity of Federal ascendancy, (and its attendant
train of evils of misrule a National Dank, the
200,000,000 debt scheme creating and perpet
uating odious and aristrocratic distinction and
privileges.) gives earnest that the 2 tit h of July
will be a proud day for Democracy.
Rali.v Frf.f.mkn ! Let the Farmer, the Me
chanic and Working men rest from their labors,
and devote a day to the glorious cause, their rights
and liberties TO JEFFERSON AND OLD
HICKORY DEMOCRACY.
A number of the most eloquent and distinguish
ed Speakers have been invited and it is expected
will be present on the great occasion. The
names of the distinguished Speakers will be an
nounced in due time, as their answers of accep
tance shall be received.

The Tix Factory of Messrs. Slocnm, Jilson
Si Co., at Poukeepsie, manufactures 1,300 lbs. of
piis per day, of various sizes, and they are get
ting additional machinery ready, by which they
can soon manufacture 2,500 lbs. daily. They
employ in the various branches of their operation
100 hands regularly. They use HS0 tons of wire,
and between 2,000 and 3,000 reams of paper per
annum. Their pins sell, upon the average, at
twenty-five cents per pound, making the annu
al value of their sales, when their additional
works are in full operation, at least $520,000.
In view of these facts, the question may be again
stated, "what becomes of all the pins ?'

Mi, Enrron: Myself ond neighbors me de--idcdlv
in f.ivor of aeain nominating EDWARD
V, BRIGHT, as the Democratic candidate for the
sscnilly. Mr, Urightmidea vcty good mcm-
cr he whs active and industrmu always at his
tost, and dij his duty fiithlully. He was chair
nun of a very important Committee, and one that
equired a great deal of attention and labor. His
ppointment to this station Knows that he had the
i'6iect and confidence of his fellow members, and
hey say tbat we never vent a more industrious
nd attentive member.
Mr. bright took an active and leading part in
etrenching the expenses of the Legislature, and in
nlroducing principles of economy into every
mrich of the Government. He was on the Coin
nittee of Accounts, through whose exertions llie
eform which distinguished the last Legislature
as brought about. He went about saving the
eoplr'g money in earnest. A few day ifier the
pening of the session, he offered the resolution
hich b. came a law, giving the Public Printing
nd Uinding to the lowest bidder. This measure
lone will save about Tex Thousand Dollars
inually.
It was suspectej that great frauds had been
immiltcd by the piinteis under former laws. The
ommittee on Accounts set about the invesliga
in of Ihei-o accounts with a determination to
iret out the frauds. Mr. Bright was one of the
ost industrious and persevering members of that
ommittee. The result was that oveicharget of
e printers, lo the amount of thirteen thousand
illara, were discovered and suits directed lo be
ought to recover that sum back into the Treasury.
The contingent ei penses of the last Legislature
ere not one fifth of the expenses of the prceecd
g. Some $15 or $20,000 were saved to the
ammonwealiti in this matter alone, by the caru
d economy of the Comrnit'ee of Accounts.
Mr. Uiight then has done bis duty faithfully and
neatly. He has carried out the wishes of the
ople, and ought to be re-elected unanimously,
onur t whom honor is due. Let the faithful
b 1 1 c servant be rewarded, and the best interests
the people will be faithfully represented.

way into every fimi'y when its real value becomes
known. The price ("ix dollars) i fixed al the
lowest rate, in order to enable every family to oMain
one. The invcnior guaiantees that it will not re
quire more than one fourth the usual quantity of
roap That it will wash in one-third the usual
time, and what is a matter of greal importance, the
wear and tear is nothinii, or at least so little, that
it i not perceptible, so that finest black worsted and
woollen can lie wailied, if nece.sary, in the ramc

lo those who do not know the principle upon
which it woili. It is the on'v machine ever in

principle of friction or rubbing, by bringing Ihe

Independent of the gieat saving of labor, economy

C'-nsi-ler it beneath our dignity to borrow wit and
wisdom from Punch; and. when we think il pood
enough, shall use the thunder of The Times. We
shall increase our vaiiety by importations from Ihe
continent of Europe, and from the new growth of
the Briiish Colonies.
Geographical discoveries, (be progress ef Colo.

While we aspire to make 'he Living Aon de
sirable lo all who wish to keep themselves inform
ed of the rapid progress of the movement to
Statesmen, Divines, Lawyers and Physicians to
men of l u-iness, and In men of leisure il is a still
stronger ob-cl of nur amhilioti to make it attrac
tive and useful lo their Wives and Children. We
believe that we can thus do some good in nur day
and generation : and hope to m-ike the work indis
iensa'ie in every well-informed family. We say
indispensable, because in this dy of cheap litera
ture it is not possihle to guard against the influx nf
what is bad in t st and vicious in morals, in any
other way than by furnishing a sufficient supply of
a healthy character. The mental and moial appe
tite mut be gratified.
We hot e, that, by "winnowing the wheat fiom

we may produce a woik which shall be popular,
while at the same time it will aspire to raise the
standii'd of publ c ta-te.
