Bear in Mind, too—That SAMUEL DURBORAW, on the 30th of March, voted AGAINST the postponement of a Bill to prevent naturalized citizens from voting for six months after na turalization—thus votino• fel low Know Nothings to deprive that class of citizens of their constitutional rights for that period ! Such is a portion of SAMUEL DUE; BORA W'S legislative record. Will the people of Adarns . county endorse, it at the polls on Tuesday nest! NO, THEY WILL NOT POLL THE VOTE ! On Tuesday next, the llth, every man must do his duty. The aged, the infirm,the feeble should be brought out. The young, vigorous, active members of the party should appoint themselves, each of them, a committee of one, to assist in carrying out such measures as are necessary to poll the vote. Do not permit one vote to be absent. Poli the whole vote. of each Mid every-district. Mliave the satisfaction of knowing that we have the pOwer to elect our whole ticket by a majority of hundreds. We can only do so by polling the whole vote. Let o every man who is at all able to go or be taken to the polls, attend, and vote the clean ticket—the Demo. cratic ticket, without scratching a name upon it. NO TIME TO BE LOST ! Prepare to breast the storm. Do not sleep at your post. The battle will be aicrce one. Every man must aid, to the whole extent of his ability, in car rying the day. Go to work early on the election day. Work all day, and at night ; when the victory is won, you can repose upon your laurels. Every advantage will be taken of you. Be on the alert. Be watchful. Remember that there is no time to be lost upon election - day. Show your hesitating neighbor the necessity of his voting— the reason why he should vote our. -whole ticket. Point out to tax-payers who are their true friends; who have befriended them already and can be trusted for the future. Let no man halt between two opinions. Let none loiter by the way. Say to all such— there is no time to be lost. That last fall the Star and Sentinel made a great ado because CHARLES WILL took they 200 extra pay, although he voted against it. Their present candidate for the Senate, Mr. Arc cLunE, who was a member of the louse at the same time, not only. took the extra pay, but TOTED FOR IT ! The Know Nothing organs have no fault to find with hint. What was very wrong, in their eyes, in Charles Will, a Democratic candidate, must have been very , right in McClure, a Know Nothing ! Could dodging and trickery go lower? That the Opposition candidates are of the proscriptive Know Nothing party, a. party which SWORE to deprive Catholics and".Foreignerfi of their rights as citizens Mone3 ,-- !

A leading man of that party even went so far, the other day, as to assert, to a person whom he imagined would make no in quiry about it, that there was not a Know Nothing on the Opposition ticket! A more bold and glaring FALSEHOOD could not be conceived or ! SAMUEL DUIU3ORAW became a sworn member of the organization in a Council in Mountjoy township, the oath binding him to vote against ail Foreigners and Catholics, and, if he should have tile power, to turn all such out of Zee! The Know Nothing pa pers have not dared to deny the charge, made frequently as it was last fall, and repeated week after week during the present cam paign. ALL the Opposition candidates are on the game platform—ALL ara the nominees of that same Know Nothing party, whieh has, in ad dition, adopted the sectional principles of Black Republicanism. Two of them are convicted out of their own mouths. Let an " old document " speak ! In the Getty,burg Star and Banner, of Sept. 28, 1855, and in the iftlants ,Sentinel, of Oct. 1, 1853, appeared the " Address of the American Executive Committee to the T - 010.8 of Adams county." From this precious Ad dress—a lengthy paper—we make three ex tracts, just enough to show its true character. The Committee, in the outstart, say: - "Fellow-Citizens a recent meeting of the Executive Committee of the American Party of Adams county, the undersigned were imAructed to address you upon the claims of the American movement to your confidence and support at the approaching Election. In discharging this duty it is not our purpose to enter into an elaborate argu ment in defence of that movement, but simply to submit to you a brief, frank and candid statement of our principles, our aims and oyeets." After a Indf column of denunciation .of foreign immigration, the Address declares "But the views of the American party do not stop here. They observe that a very large portion of this annual immigration belongs to thee Church of Rome—professing at least a moral allegiance to a foreign and absolute power, and organized in a peculiar manner, for the promotion of Roman Catholic objects at the expense of those very liberties which these persons exercise and enjoy. The Amer ican party, thereline, proclaims that it takes its stand against the political action (If the Roman Catholic Church in the United States, from a conviction that the tendency of that Church is to embody its adherents in a party, the objects of which arc at variance with the insitutions and national spirit of the Ameri can people." Then follows the dihtinet affirmation of their principles, the ihst plank of which is in these words: "'Resistance to the aggressive policy and corrupting tendencies of the Roman Ca tholic Church in our country, by the advancement Mall political stations—executive, legislative, judicial, or diplomatic=of those only who d 0 not hold civil allegiance, directly or indirect ly, to any foreign power, whether civil or ec clesiastical, and who are Americans by birth, education and training—thus fulfilling the maxim :—A MERICANS ONLY MUST GOVERN A IfERICA." Attached &this Address, first is the name of E. G. FAIINESTOCIf.,..the present Oppo sition candidate fur County Treasurer, and a little lower down, among the other ten name s thereto, we - see that of WM. B. McCoLEL LAN, the present Opposition candidate far District Attorney l , Comment is unnecessary. The "old doca mei2ts" can be seen at the Compiler office. A FULL V. TE v.

Vote early yourself and then attend to your neigh bors—those who have grown feeble and disabled and cannot come themselves, —have all brought forward, that there may be such a vote polled as will prove that the Democracy of,Adams are un conquerable.

HUZZA !! ! esserls Tax ! We are informed that at an Opposition meeting in Franklin township, the other evening, one of the speakers made the asser tion that Jaeon RESSER, the Opposition candi date for County Commissioner, paid $12,95 county and state tax in one year previous to l 1857 ! This is intended as a catek, because if he did pay that sum, or any other, it was not on property assessed in his name. The Tax Books prove that he was not assessed at all in his township previous to 1837. That! Year he paid 28 cents county tax, having been ! assessed for nothing but occupation ; and in 1858 he paid 3D cents! Iu 1830 some where about $1,400 at interest arc assessed against him, and this, it is sespected, was re turned by him, because he then had the Com missioner nomination in view, and wished to make the appearance that he was a tax-payer to a considerable extent. If he paid tax be-, fore 1857, it, must have been fur somebody else, as the name of Jacob Besser does mot ap pear open the duplicates previous to Mat year ! We are authorized by a gentleman wlio has thoroughly examined the Tax Books for a number of years back, to offer FIFTY DOL LARS to any one . who will prove from the Duplicateitliat Jacob 'lesser was assessed in Hamilton township for stqte and county pur poses previous to 1857, and so certain are wel of the fact that we offer FIFTY 'DOLLARS more on our own hook. Will the Star and Sentinel managers face the music? P. S.—The Star of to-day contains a re ceipt from the Collector of 11auillton townshiu in 1850, to Jacob 'lesser, fur $12,95 State and County tax fur 1856. Now it so happens that the name of Jacob Rosser does not appear on eke Duplicate (!f : 1850 at all ! Surely he would not have paid that sum when not assessed against him.— No—no! If he paid the amount, it must have been for somebody else's tax, as we have already stated—somebody who could not make it convenient to see the Assessor, and sent the money with Mr. Resser. It was not fur his own tax, that's sure I A D • liberate Lie! The Slar to-day is full of eleventh-hour lies —we have neither time nor space to notice them. One is, that the Commissioners of the county gave out a contract for curbing around the Court House " to a certain party at ?ay) Dollars perfind, while another party was will-' ing and anxious to do the same work at One Dollar and Fifty Cents per foot !" This is one of thcpust barer:tee] attempts at deception ever thoaght.of by tlest-erate.oul unprincipled politicians. The building has (teen put up so well and so econoinicall that the Opposition could nut, s, ith all their tiis position to do so, find the least fault is bit it, But in their extremity they mu-t try to make some capital, and now they seek to- (let:cite the public in regard to—what ?—why—the curb stones 1 The Commissioners wanted a first rate job, and Mr. Powers untlerto tk it at a very moderate - rate, the work considered— being foe furnishing, cutting and placing the stone• upon that - wall. .Ni) proposition was made to tare Com Missioners by any party to do Hie Mork for less before the giving out of the contract, and this story about somebody else being-" willing and anxious " to do it for less is a mere ELECTIONEERING TRICK, to make votes fur the " temporary resident,P Resser. The whole story is a fraud and a cheat, published in the last issue, with the hope that the Compiler would not have time to allude to it at all. Democrats, rise in your strength, anti re buke these slanderers of honest, upright and economical officers, who have only the inter ests of the tax-payers at heart. " Mr. Diehrs Vote."

We have always suspected that the Sale to the Sunbury and Erie Railroad Company was effected in a questionable manner, and now we have an expose from Mr. E. RUSH PE 'PRI KIN, an Opposition member of the House from Clinton county, and a candidate for re election, who speaks of it in telling style.— His statement is appended, as taken from the papers of Lock Haven. .READ IT, honest voters of Adams county, and ponder it well: Mr. Petrikiia'ti Statement. FELLOW CITIZENS propose, in the event of my election to the assembly by you, to en quire how - the officers of the Sunbury and Erie Railroad have discharged the TRUST confid ed to them by "an Act for the sale of the State Canals." In this inquiry I think it will be made manifest by proof, that the Canals were sold at 52,000,000 less than they could have been sold for, the same kind of payment being re ceived—that in each sale the Directors and officers of the Railroad were purchasing— that all the sales were made in the short peri od of one month from the time they were con veyed to the Railroad, in a secret manner, without notice of when they would be sold or the kind of payment that would be received, that notwithstanding this secret manner of sale, numb larger sums were bid by other parties. before the present possessors had con summated their pretended title Mader the To illustrate, I believe on such an investi gation it 41 be proven, that the. West Branch and Susquehanna Canal was sold for $500,- 000. in promises payable twenty years hence, btu, before its consummation under thu law $730,000 was offered for that part between Northumberland and Duncan's Island—about one half,—and such witnesses as Judge Jor dan and Wm. Greeneugh,..Esq., of Sunbury. ill prove it. I believe it will be proven that the N ,rth Branch Canal was sold for $1,500,000 in premises payable in future, and that before the sale was consummated an offer was, made .1)y other parties of *2,000,000. I believe it will be proven that the Dela ware Division, a Canal tv:tiult under State management cleared six per cent, per annum on the sum of $4,000,000 was sold for $1,775,- 000, $75,000 in hands, $lOO,OOO in the stock of the Company created, $400,000 in monthly instalments of $40,000 and $1,200,000 in promises t 4 pay twenty years off—before this sale was made other p:u•ties offered $2,000,- 000 and I have rto doubt if the world hod they known the terms of payment $:;,000,b0d could have been h.^.& I think it can be prhven that in all the sales made a portion of the Directors of the lt t Lilroad were parties in the- purchase. The enormity of the wrong to the Common wealth u;ill be thus made manifest and when inquiry comes to be made as to the owners of these Canals since the sales, it will be proven that a few individuals, who perpetrated the wrong are in receipt annually 01 p incely in comes, To illustrate this—TheiVest Branch and Susquehanna Canal is represented by stock 'i2oo,ooo—by bonds SSJU,OOO ; the interest on the. bonds is s3o,Qoo—the revenue about $lOO,OOO leaving $70,006 to divide amongst - the stockholders. Enquiry may prove that two or three persons in this district own more than one half this stock, for which they paid nothing but the guilt of the wrong to the pep= - pie and on which ;they realre.at Jeask_llo,- WO per annum. • But inquiry I think will make the Delaware DiNision the most startling fraud. The broth er of the PreSident of the Sunbury and Erie Itailroad.is President of this Canal. It was org united wish a stock capital of $1,`...00.000 and the $lOO,OOO stock held by the Railroad. ?liink it will be proven that this capital has Lean doubled making in all $2,560,000 in stock and $1,200,000 M bends and debt—and -Hint it pays the interest on this debt end a diiidend of 8 per cent has been (Iceland on slor). Many say NI know great wrong has been d.,no. but how can it be remedied?' My an s er to their inquiry is this t By the act for the sale of the State Canals the Sunbury and Erie Railroad Company is mt,do Trustee to sell them, the State agreeing to take in part payment $3.500;000 of the Railroad Com pany's bonds, payable- in the future, and three-fourths of all realized over and above that sum in such payments as the Railroad Company should receive, and the other fourth of the surplus the Sunbury and Erie,keep as compensation: If this position be correct, then the only way the Sunbury and Erie Railroad could legally sell was by public sale—and no officer of the-Sunbury and Erie could become a pur chaser. Solely in the ordinary affairs oflife, the law holds that a trust sale must be pub lic, and it holds with equal force that a Irus tee cannot be a purchaser at his own sale, hence the - sale of the canals is void and the medy is to create a new trustee to carry out the design of the "Act fur the sale .of State Canals." It is na to the truth or falsity of the charges made that enquiry is designed to be made in the Legislature. Then the parties ivlio denounce me can have • the privilege of doing it in a legal manner, amid at the same time have their lips hallowed by kissing the Gospel of God, if they have belief in Then an approximation to truths can be leached or a multitude of souls be damned for false swearing.' Then it will not be alle gation against allegation without the restrain ing influence of an oath. Fellow citizens, if, there is nothing wrong why are those people accused, so uneasy.— Because they dread your wrath, when you come to know by proof—no allegation—that they are living in princely magnificence, on the revenues pf a canal built , by your sweat and tool and by them fraudulently obtained.

MeCtun insisted that the members all ought to have. The Adams Rep resentative had not voted for the extra pay, but lie took it after Col. McCimax's energetic efforts had carried it; and for taking it, the Republicans of Adams county defeated him. If a Democratic Representative merited de feat for taking the $2OO extra along with the rest of the members, ought not Col. Ideates to receive a withering rebuke for speaking and voting for the-bill and taking the money? We do not see how any man who is an xious to reduce the State debt can vote fur Col. McClain, with a full knowledge that by his greed fur extra pay he deprived the public treasury of over twenty six thousand dollars that would otherwise have gone into the sin king fund. Still less do we see how any Adams county Republican who joined in the cry against Mr. WILL for taking the money after it had been voted to him by Col. McClain and others, can now support the Republican candidate fur Senator, the prime mover and file leader in that foray on the peo ple's treasury—the great champion of EXTRA PAY at the height of the crisis, when there were serious apprehensions that the State would not be able to meet all her engage- I men ts.

We subjoin the affidavit of a respectable working man of Chambersburg, which shows the kind of support Mr. Douglas has hereto fore given -to Col. McClure. Not only did he not vote for him, but we find him actively en gaged amongst those whom he might influ ence, in doing all in his power to defeat the man for whom he is said to have shown such friendship. Let every Democrat, and every man who may desire the defeat of this wily and corrupt demagogue, give him the same kind of support Mr. Douglas has heretofore done, and we will ask no more. Franklin County, SS.,I State of Pennsylvania.

W. Douglas, Esq.,:at his office door, who was giving out tickets fur said election, that the said McGaughy said he belonged to the Dem ocratic party, but that he did not wish to vote for Mr. Sansom because he said some: thing disrespectful of shoemakers, he further swears that Mr. Douglas spoke to him for a long time to vote for Sansom ; said that he did not 'believe those things hi circulation against Sansurn—that the said McUatighy told Douglas that it he would nut scratch Sansom's name off he would not vote—That Douglas then induced him to vote fur Hughes and not for 3h Clare, which I did, Sworn and subscribed before me this f..'Gth day of September, A.

McClure has ever since he resided in the di.. trict voted against the regular nominees of his party for State Senator, the very same office for which be is now asking their support.— When Washington Crooks was it candidate for State Senator M..Clure voted against him. When Dr. Mellinger was thecandidate Mc- Clure also voted against him, and toted for J. W. Douglas; and it is expected that front the force• of habit he will do so again at this election. If Mr. Douglas' was good enough for McClure to give him his vote for State Senator sir. years ago, why not now? lie swallowed him then with all his "odious Locufoco doctrines," and pray why reject hint on this Occasion? It is, indeed, very con , ;istent in McClure to denounce, as not tit fur State Senator, the cry lean he himself has cast his vote in f u ror of for the same office.

McClure says of Nr. that he " never soiled his hands with work.", We ad mit there are some kinds of dirty work with which Lt.! r. Douglas "never soiled his bands." It would be well for McClure if - he could show as clean hands in many respects as Mr. Doug las. There would not then exist so many " suspiei9u4" abota him.— CGuu~Gcrd,uiY S trit.
