Cif:tram Writ., Esq., of Oxford town
ship, was re-norniaated for the Legisla
ture by acclamation. It. was a well de
serred.compliment, earned by the faith
ful discharge of his duties as a Repre
entative at Itarrisburg last winter.—
His votes in all cases are found record
ed on the side of economy- in State ex
penditures--among others, he voted
against the "extra pay" of two hun
dred dollars. Ile law proven himself a
reliable membor , ---la him be re-elected
by an increased majority.
Hon. Isaac E. WISEMAN, of Irunt ing
ton, was chosen for Ants - white Judge,
also by acclamation. Mr. W. is well
fitted for the poet—none better cock/
be- found in the county. For a lung
time Justice of the Peace, and other
wise welt posted in matters pertaining
to his office, he has, during the few
months he has occupied a seat upon the
Bench, won golden opinions. The peo
ple will decide, at the ballot Mx, that
ho is, by qualification and character,
the proper person for Associate Judge.
For Commissioner, DANIEL GaisEt,-
.wAN, of Union, is the nonunee. He,
too, will make a good and faithful offi
cer. An extensive and successful far
mer, (paying heavy taxes,) and well
acquainted with business affairs, the in
terests of tax payers will be entirely
safe in his hands. Ho well deserves
success, and it will be awarded him.
ABRAHAM SPANOLZR, of Cumberland,
is upon the ticket fur Director of the
Poor. A sterling old farmer, of good
business qualifications, and re,pected
by all who know him, wo do not see
how he can fail. of a triumphant elec
tion. The Opposition may have made
a good " hit," but the Democrats have
made a better one.
JACOB KLUNK, of Germany, as Audi•
tor, will carefully scrutinize the public
accounts, as aroper discharge of duty
will require; and
Dr. W. C. Srrat, of Franklin, will be
found to make an excellent Coroner,
always ready to do whatever may per
tain to his office.
Such, fellow-Democrats, is the ticket
presented for your support. It is A

but your earnest efforts in the field.—

RUM lIP !
/®-The mongrel managers are in a
sad plight. Their eonnty tuket in
spires no enthusiasm, and increased in
vestigation will not improve its position
with the public. Candid ir.euitiers of
thdlr own party predict its defeat, and
declare it ought to be defeated. Beside
this—and worse than everything else for
the managers—the Democrats have
nominated a first-rate ticket, against
which nothing can be plausibly said—
thus almost closing out hope of Opposi
tion success. Hence they "make mouths
at everybody and everybody's sister;"
hones the Star managers fume and fret.,
and even go farther (if possible) from
the line of truth than is their custom,
in trying to affect injuriously the Dem
ocratic ticket. But., lacking ordinary
sagacity, they have already shown their
hand, and the D3mocracy know how to
take them.
Our political friends throughout the
county must be prepared for all sorts
of misrepresentations and downright
lies from the Opposition during this
campaign. Nothing will be spared by
the leaders and their minions. it is
plain already that fairness is to be ea
tirtly set aside by them.

Instead of coming to the Presidency
at an unlucky time, Mr. Buchanan's
accession was at that period most for
tunate for himself and country. Ile
came at a crisis when a firm nerved man,
an honest man, a resolute, unwavering
man—all of which wo know the Presi
dent to be—was wanted to put, down
rebellion among the Topekaites—relal
lion among the Mormons—British ag
gression on the sea.—lindtring that
his designed movements with the army
and navy were right and indispensable,
regardless of the false cry the opposition
raised, and would Lave raised had an
angel led, ho called for ships, men and
money. A patriotic Congress, spurning
the deceptive cry of danger from pres
idential tyranny and extravagance,
voted the ships, the money and the men.
The contemPlated movements Le Las
directed ably, and be has accomplished
their objects well. Now lot the factions
of the opposition howl. As a State
party, and as a National party, which
we arc, and they are not, we defy them.
Ever ready at call of duty, whatever
the ham bag they may bring against us,
with our worthy President directing

business of our country is done accord

"THE CONGRESSIONAL ELECTIONS."
Ingo W. Forney, who plays second
fiddle to Dr. Elder in the Press office at
Philadelphia, nas written an article on
"The Congressional Eketions in Penn

repeated lie that the policy of the ad

Now this logic is so much at-variance
.with commoneyase Lb if requires no

of bea44116-,841wyb04,i luaowa mei will
readily admit that if it requires one
hundred dollars to provide Tor a single
person the necessaries of life for ono
yeiir, that it will require just, double
that sum to support two persons fur
the same length of time; and the infer
ence is a legitimate one that it requires
twice as much to support the govern
ment as when it was but half its pres
ent size. Expenses ofgorcrnment like
family expenses, increase in the same
proportion that it enlarges. No man
can support a family of ten persons for
the same amount, of money that it re
quires to support a family of lice, and
no Administration can conduct a huge
government at the same cost as a small
one. It is obvious, therefore, that it
costs more to maintain a largo govern
ment, or a large family, than it, does to
maintain a small government, or a
small family, and that the clamor which
the opposition are endeavoring to ex
cite against the present Administration,
on account of its expenses, is simply
idle and ridiculous. It does not follow
because the expenses of government
amount to more now than they did
years ago, when it was small, that we
are becoming wasteful and extrava
gant. By no means.
There is a wide difference between
the actual expenses of governm e nt and
wastefulness and extravagance, and
with equal propriety is the family of
ten persons liable to the charge of
wastefulness , and extravagance, because
it costa more to support them than it
does to support a family of Live, as to
say, that the present isdminlstration is
wasteful and extravagant because it
cannot administer the government so
cliettpt.y as when it was yet in its infan
cy, and when its territorial limits were
not half so large as at present.
We care not what the expenses of
Government amount to, provided the
money has been appropriated to ne
cessary and legitimate purposes, and so
that the honor, integrity, %nd true
dignity of the country have been pre
served; but we enter our solemn pro
test against the charge of extravagaiice
ngainst Mr Buchanan's administration,
simply because the expenses of Gov
ernment are not now the saine as they
once were. Once we had uo Utah or
Kansas difficulties to encounter and to
adjust, requiring an Omens() amount
of treasure, and once we had no Black
Republicans to keep Congress disor•
ganixesl for two months, and after
wards, to legislate in the most reckless
and extravagant manner. These are
some of the causes which have tended
to increase the expenses of government,
and it is unjust, as Vice President
.13re:kinridge says, .to hold the Demo
untie party and the present. Adiuinis

The committee on resolutions report
ed the following, which were adopted
with a loud and unanimous " AYE:"
Resolved, That our confidence in the
integrity, wisdom end patriotism of .
JAMES BUCHANAN is unabated, and
we cordially endorse his aiminist ration
of tho nation's affairs. Hu has proven
himself a worthy successor to the line
of Jefferson, Jackson and Polk.
Resolved, That the charges of "ex
travagance," and an annualexpendituro
of one hundred millions, brought by an
iin•trnpulons Opposition against the
National Administration, are wholly
disproved by the records of Congress
and the Departments. Whilst the Re
public:33s and Know Ndthinge sought
in the last Congress to swell the appro
p::ations unnecessarily, the Adminis
tration exerted itself to keep them
within proper limits. We cannot but
believe that this attempted deception of
tho Opposition is too glaring to succeed
in any quarter.
Resolved, That Govertior PACKER,
by the judicious exemise of the veto
power and the general course of his
ad
ministration, deserves the commends
tion of the Democracy of the State.
Resolved, That we have confidence in
the integrity and capacity of WILLIA
A. PORTER, and WESTL EY FROST,
our candidates for Judge of the Supreme

the water. Never in my life saw I such myri
ads of fish. Their innumerable numbers are
accounted for by none being used; they are
not used because they can seldom be caught;
hence they are bony, kc.
Knowing your proclivities I will, in brief,
give the modus operandi of blue-fiehing; First,
the bait used in catching this finny tribe Is ex
clusively the crab, which last is netted near
the beach; then a vessel is chartered, and
away goes your Schooner for the oyster beds,
about three miles from shore; here dropping
acchor you detach the small boat, and having
adjusted it to an oyster stake, then comes the
sport. The first hurried question at this stage
of the excursion is, " who'll fish from the stern
of the boat," which is the best position. Thro'
the kindness of my friends this was allotted to
me. All ready, ont fly our lines, and scarce a
second elapses before you feel a very sensible
bite; up comes the line and you have the is•
citing delight of seeing one or two splendid
blue-fish wriggling on the hooks. Oh, sir, If
there be any pleasure worthy of mention, any
excursion replete with pleasant excitement, It
is blue-fishing on the oyster beds aft F.ast Point.
Aside from all the pleasure and amusement
afforded, the number caught is a fine compen
sation for the employment. Fur one fisherman
to catch two hundred blue-fish; averaging fif
teen inches in length, in a few hours, is con
sidered ordinary luck. In the interim yen will
oleaslonally feel a heavy bite ; pull in, and find
your books gone by the preying shark. This
species of fish is numerous, too, measuring
from six to twelve feet.
I had the pleasure of drawing into our little
boat a stinpree, reserubliug very much the
flaps of a saddle, weighing abut thirty
pounds. This fish is not edible, and its sting

If you, 11r. Editor, or any of your numerous
readers, would desire to spend a "good time
of it," in a quiet way, go to Jersey, along or
near the Delaware Ray. There fount people
as God designed man to he—not the isolated,
selfish and unaccommodating. And there are
fish and game, as fish and game were designed
to be—not the dlurinutive "eat fish" and
"sucker" of our creeks; not Mega/no thinly
dispersed through our mountains. Here there
is every opportunity to become "fishers of
men," every practice requisite to be 1, mighty
Nimroda." The fish abounding here at Rest
Point—memorable in the history of 1812—are
the blae-fish, moss-bankers, shark, stiogarees,
flounder, snapping mackerel, Au. The princi-
very venomous. •
Irrespective of fishing there are regal lees
ries here, never dreamed of hi our county.
The fine, fat, fresh oyster would water the
mouth of Epicurus himself. Bathing is more
delightful than that enjoyed by the nerelds of
Neptune. Rowing more pleasant, with a San
breeze, than "sleeping on beds of violets.'
Melons equal to the gods' ambrosia; and last
ly, though not least, the BOXIIOIIIIIIg, the kind
ness, the generosity, and the genuine Virgin
ian hospitality of my friends in Jersey were the
requisites present, which threwa charm around
all these luxuries and sports.
Leaving this home-like village, we proceed
ed on to Cape Island, thus passing entirely
through South Jersey. Finding that this scrap
has assumed too great a length already, I con
clude in the hope thaLmore of us may be able,
nest season, to while away a "good time,"
In the laud of the mosquitoes,
In the home of happy People,
In the toads of South Jersey.
A Rommitic Story.—The Stints Zie
tung tells us that, some years ago,
a
young man was living in Now York
city on a high scale. His name was
William Frazer. He had a large busi
nese, good connections, and wasso much
engaged by the world's glitur and die
play that he had no time to look after
his sister, at that time a poor teachor
in one of the boarding schools of New
York; and-by-and-by he forgot her
entirely. Some days ago an aged man
was arrested near Baltiraore t _ and
brought back to liorristown,
where hb broke oat of the cell he was
.confined in to await - his smarms* for
counterfeiting. It was William Fra
mer. The once poor teacher lives now
