This gentleman has received the nomina
tion of the Democratic party of this distrist
for Congress. Knowing him as we do, we
are enabled to say in all sincerity that the
"nomination is one fit to be made." He is
possessed of fine attainments, is stertingly
honest, and is a sound and high-toned Demo
crat. If eteeted, (as he will be surely with a
full turn-out at the polls,) that his course will
reflect credit upon himself and be profitable
to his district and his State, there need be no
question. As Speaker of the House at Har
risburg he won plaudits from a parties for
hie ability and fairness, and whilst oavapy
ing a seat in the Senate he displayed an in:
dustry and knowledge of business in the de
liberations of that hAy which were univer
sally gratifying to his constituents. His per
sonal popularity is of the highest order. All
Who know him esteem him. None can speak

The Tariff Cheat.
h may be inteeersios &rr de tariff ..n of
Pennsylvania to know that the head of the
New York Republican ticket Is William C.
Bryant, the editor of the Fretting Rol, and
for forty years an unchanging Free Trade
man. Mr. Bryant denies that the twelfth
resolution of the Chicago Platform contain■ a
single word in faror of the protection of home
labor or home production'''. To this effoct his
journal remarks as follows:
" The twelfth of these resolutions is called
in some of the journals en a ope a v a i o r e hi g h_

the interpretation we put upon
the resolution adopted at Chicago, and it is
as fair a construction as at.y other. If any
other oonstructiun bo it fairer or a truer one.
Liu we do not belong to the party by which
Lie resolution is adopted. If it wus intonded
to pass a resolution which shou:d mean no
thing diatin:.t or politive. but should bear
two conatruetions, then the roniention has
done what was unworthy of the party whom
it profes4es to represeut, ttud we axe ashamed
of it. It would have be,:orue it bptter to he
silent on that topic altogotlier,
"The construction we have placed upon
this resolution we shall hold to firmly- If
the Republican party shou.'d elect its candidate
he must not on that construction, or lie will
soon find himself encountered by en opposition
by which lie will be orenchclmed."
While Mr. Curtin is holding up this same
twelfth r4colution ea pledging the Republican
party to a protective tarie, the he.ul man on
the dew York electoral ticket flatly oontra
dicts all his assumptions. Who is cheating,
and who is to be cheated? Both can't be
right.
A e PStriot.
Voltaire Newton, a resident of Syracuse,
New York, who, prior to 1856, uus a Promi
nent Whig, and alliaye an admirer of the
talents and integrity of Henry Clay, handed
to the Union Om following sentimant of that
gallant Kentuckian:
" Whenever the Whig party shall become
merged into a miserable sectional abolition
pnrty, /trill renounce it forever, and in future
act with that party, regardless of lie name,
which stunds by the Lkl l hatitution and the
Union." .
Mr. Newton has carried the above paragraph
in his poeket-book over Nine years, and it is
needless to say that he is now an ardent Derwr
are.
The editor of the Scalia, notwithstanding
all his talk &vat ":good old Whir times."
supports an Abolitionist for Prexident—one
who was among the very first to strike down
Henry Clay in 1848. How glaring the in
oonsistency of the &Wind.
111Iiirrha Star managers, having failed in
their Know Nothing experiment upon this
county, are now—indeed, have been for the
past sereral years—engaged in the up-hill
work of coaxing and humbugging into the
support of their tickets the very classes of
eitisons whom they before se bitterly sought
to proscribe, denouncing them with every
term, no matter bow unjust or opprobrious,
which in their opinion was calculated, by
working upon religious prejudge, to help
the dark lantern cause. Their present course
is taken not because they think any better of
the proscribed classes than they did before,
but because they find a " change of grounl"
toned upon them. To continue to abase the
Catholic and fareigner, would beau keep the
party of themanagers, forever in a minority.
But, tau:aim:2 as they are, their old hatred
will 'hada out" oecasionally. It must have
vent, or they would explode. And as an ;13-
stance of this, we need but eider to the Star
of Friday west', ,in which the managers make
the sweeping cherge in regard to Gen.
Fos
vrxa, the Democratic candidate fur Governor,
that he has "got the Catholic priests to work
for him." The declaration is made in a very
small paragraph, but the faithful are of °muse
expected to see it, and their prejudices to be
affected accordingly.
The slender is but a continuance of one of
the Bear's old games, and will have about the
same effect. Its purpose to arouse an anti-
Catholic feeling is easily perceived, and
we allude to it only to show that the Star
managers have not abated a tittle of their old
dark lantern animosity toward a large and
respectable body of dbr citizens. The public
will " make a note of it."
Si`The Star gives currency to a story that
certain Naw York gentlemen have subscribed
"one bendred thousand dollars," to carry
this State for Gen. Vosvta. What the wealthy
New Yorkers, who have so much money that
they don't know what to do with it, want
Fosvea Governor. for Is aot stated. Bet that
is of no consequent,. ; the *Wry reminds us
of a little anecdote related of Col. CCILTIN,
by Were, of the Albany Journal, while in
Chicago after the defeat of &weals, and when
he felt very bitter over the defeat of his fa
vorite by the vote and influence of the Penn
sylvania delegation under the lead of CURTIN.
Weed said last spring, when the Mayor's e•
lection in Philadelphia was pending, Cusrpc
came over to New York and told the friends
of Mr. St WARD that it was absolutely neces
sary to raise $lO,OOO to carry that election
thatthey thought the sum was rather "steep."

i*g a SIMARD victory is the commercial em
porium of Penney-Jeanie would have upon
Mr. Surarto's prospects, his friends raised
16,000, and seat Andy on his way rejoicing,
And, continued Weed, the first man we found
in Chicago, claiming that be couldn't be a.
lected if Seward was nominated, was 'this
same Andy Cur.in. Now, remarks the Erie
Obserrer, we tell this story as 'twits told to us
sad we believe it to be a fact. We know
that the • Seward men were very bitter
against the delegation from ibis State, one of
them remarklag to us alter the nomination
that the whole delegation could bare been
bought fur $lO,OOO. but time "the old man"

apology for his hoarseness, and then set in to

bitterly denounced Gen. Jackson during his
Presidency were afterwards ashamed of it.
Mr. McMichael, if he lives a dosen years, will
be slow to acknowledge the language he used
on Tuesday night in regard to James Buchan
an. The speaker devoted considerable time
to the neriff. Ho labored hard to prove that
the Republican party could alone be trusted
in this matter, but failed to state that the
Tariff was reduced in Congress by the votes
of the New England and North-western Re
publican members. In short, the speech was
dished up as though he supposed the people
here were ignorant enotigh in believe any
thing, and that, no matter how one-sided or
partial his t . issortions might be, they wdUld
be taken as gospel.

Among the &ntinets last, we reCar to the
following. is regard's° Hon. W. P. SCRELL,
the Denalcratio candidate far Congress:
"At 'Present, the Democrats do not know
what kind of politi.uil principles he holds,
and where,he will stand. The result is, that
the Douglas Democrats have no confidence in
him, and the Breckenridge portion are a lit
tle afraid, and feel very strongly toclined not
to go to the election at all."
The editor of the Sentinel need not bother
himself about Mr. Schell's " political princi
ples," nor will he do his candidate any good
by penning such glaring and baseless false
hoods as he has crowded two of into the above
half-dosen lines. Democrats may differ upon
the Presidency, but they do not, and will not,
differ in reference to the duty of supporting
so sound a , Democrat and so able a man as
lion. W. P. Scant.. The Sentinel may hope
aEukstrive for division among the Democracy,
but cannot produce it---and least of all by
untruths so palpable as those we quote.
Me. Welsh's Address.
We call attention to the address of the Ron.
Wu. U. Watau, Chairiusn of the State Ex
ecutive Committee, which will be found in
today's Compiler. For a document of impor
tance it is brief, and exhibits in a lucid.style
and nervous language, the peculiar position
of the Democratic party at the present time,
the duty which every Democrat owes to his
country in the crisis, and the only means in
the use of which we shall be able to rescue
our beloved Commonwealth and the whole
Union from the hands of the "Philistines,"
which are against the rights and interests of
our common country.
We heartily commend thil address to all
Democrats, and eitrnestly solicit them to re
flect calmly on the advice contained in it, and
to use the means which it suggests.

to prejudice your minds against rival candi

know that you are tired of it, yourselves...—
But pardon me ; my object is good.
I see an article in the Sallied, of Wednes
day last, dated Hamilton township, (it should
have been Berwick Borough, for we know the
author,) in regard to the supposed animosity
of our candidate for Sheriff against members
of your church. Now it is as evident as that
the sun shines in the canopy of heaven that
the anthotof that article was one of the per
sops who assisted in establishing the Know
Nothing Lodge in Abb)ttstown. That same
individual took the oath of the order nut to
vote for a Catholic or foreigner for any office
of trust under the government of the United
States. I will bet five dollars with Mr. Har
per that the author of that article told a will
ful lie when he dated his communication
Hamilton township, and the same amount
that he lives in Abbottstown. There is an
individual somewhere in Adams county who
swore before a Justice of the Peace that he
would not use spirituous jiguors for five
years and hal since that time drank to ful
ness. I will bet five dollars that this is the
person who wrote the article-referred to.
I will also bet five dollars that be is a can
didate for office.
Samuel Wolf has Guthorised me to offer
$lOO, that no man can be produced who will
say upon oath that he saw him vote agaidlet
a Catholic.
Frederick Wolf authorises me to say that
the affidavits of all who were present at the
Delegate election am{ which appeared in the
Compiler of week before last is sufficient to
eanvince any man of common sense and hon
esty that the writer.faleilles,
In regard to voting for General &sett, Mr.
Wolf knew very well that he was no Catholic.
In regard to Frederick Wolf eating a man
to vote against Mr. Wilson for Assessor upon
the grounds that be was a Cabello, is proven

self.

from this donside.ration, the Star knows very
well that if bon a man sticks himself up fur

people on ell occasions possible, as Ms Mo.

That 'hi* Honor's " phelinks " were hurt
by the Spirit and yourself, and that he did
naturally oomplain to lay "organ," I have,qo
earthly de Obt. But that the tears the Stir
sheds over " his darling" are more or less
than crocodile, I can not believe lei a mo
ment. The Star has been toe long and too
deep in the business complained of to be truly
and really 'scandalised by such fun as your
self and the b'pirit poked at your townsman
on the oeaseion in question.
if the Star would attempt to balance ao
went' with you and your friend of the Spirit
on the score of the heading of "Political Black
gu ardisin," his indictment, he would Bud his
luminous self far ahead of you both, and that
you could never equal, much loss surpass,
him in ingratitude towards 0 neighbors," and
old political friends and benefaewra.
Wo all remember the campaign of 1651
' and that during that time the Slar man pro
r 17 tied to be a Whir.—and that so well did he
support his pretensions that many well dia
-1 posed, intelligent persons really believed he
was in earnest when he advocated the claims.
and foretold the election of CA Neely, whose
1 name he bad, "in large and legiblu charac
ters," at the very top et his " Spangled Ban
ner." When the campaign was over, and the
result proved the defeat of Col. Neely, as well
as the "non est" of Wm. B. Wilson. what
do you think the man of the Star did? Why,
of course, the uninitiated would say, ho la
mented for,his political friend o the Cul. and
laughed over the "spilt milk ' of the man be
was wont to call Los:duce, ?gr. Wilson. Not
lie—but erectly " rice versa," as our mutual
friend, the lawyer, would say. You see then
the game wits up, the Slat man had lust. and
in his cry of "cheater' on board," it leaked
out that lie & Co. had '• gone over to If ilson,
early in the carapaign." Tho publication of
such a paragraph, "by a professed Know
Nothing, by an avowed enemy of Cul. Neely,"
would " be bad enough," under the circum
stances, but how the editor of the Star, (the
organ of the Colonel's party.) who had been
intimately acquainted with Mr. Neely from
his (the editor's) boyhood, could stoop so
luw, as to have thus secretly betrayed him. "is
hard to understand ;" and harder, when we
I recollect that Col. Neely was a good man, a
' good neighbor, a good Whig, and an Old per
sonal friend and subscriber of the editor of
the Star; End hardest, when we remember
that Wm. B'. Wilson, at the time of the pass
over, was 'fresh from the Democratic County
Conven tion, , where he had submitted his name
and his claiii for office, after- having pledged
hirliself to abide its decision, as he bad done
on former occasions, when be sought and ob

FryCASIINATION.—The Summer Session of
the Gettysburg Female Institute closed ea
Friday week, by a public examination of the
Young Ladies connected with the Institution,
We regret that we could not, on account of
other engage cents, accept the invitation to be
present, as these public exercises arc abarays
interesting and pleasant. Wo understand,
however, that a large number of visitors were
present and that the young Ladies acquitted
themselves in an admirable manner, doing cre
dit to themselves and their efficient instructors.
The Exercifes on Friday consisted principally
of the reagng of compositions, the exathination
of the seferal classes in the various branches
of stady having bees gone through wiAl3 o n th e
day previous. The school is under the control
of ger. Dam Evans and his estimable lady,
who "prize no pains to make it worthy of the
confidence of the people, in which they have
been eminently successful. The Winter Session
will commence on the 15th of October, with the
prospect of a large accession of scholars. The
institution, located as it is in our midst. should
receive, as it deserves, the encouragement of
par entire community.

to the advertisement of the Wilcox k Gibb's
Sewing Machine. Among the many popular
Sewing Machines now before the public, them
is none Which commands a larger sale or give.;
more thorough satisfaction to purchasers than
this little machine. It Is pre-eminent for its
simplicity of construction and for the rapidity
aad excellence with which it performs its work.
We notice that the Committee of the Frank
lin Institute, and also the Committee of the
Pennsylvania State Agricultural Fair, after a
close competition with the higher priced ma
chines, awarded the highest premium to this
beautiful and valuable little Engine of House
hold, the use of which spares woman's unre
quited toil.
MENALLEN AGRICULTURAL FAIR.—Sfs.
Eniros :—As you have been so kind in noticing
oar proposed Fair in your paper heretofore, I
would trouble you with a short sketch of its
progress thus far, on acconnt of many inquiries
made by persons living at a distance. I would
say to the public that we have leased a beauti
ful piece of ground from Wm. 13. & J. Wilson,
for the term of 3 years, for which the club pay
sl2o,—ground situated in front of the resi
dence owned by J. J. Wills, Esq., and is now
being enclosed by the Committee of Arrange
ments, whp have the whole management under
their care. The trotting coarse is already fin
ished; more necessary buildings Will be erected
during the coming week. The Committee arc
determined to do everything in their power to
make it conveniept and attractive to the exhib
itors aid }the public. The enclosure will be
supplied with a fountain of running water.
The list of judges has been selected from dif
ferent sections of the county, and it is hoped
that every persein in and out of the county will
feel themselves interested in the Fair, and bring
something to exhibit. Some persons have ex
pressed themselves that the premiums are too
low. We admit that they are not as high as
older Fairs; however, this should not prevent
persons from bringing their stock or produce
to exhibit. I feel satisfied that our premiums
will compare with those of our neighboring
counties the first year. The public mast re
member that the expense of getting up any
thing of this kind is always very heavy the
first yes*; consequently this accounts for the
premiums not being so large the first year. By
another year we hope to treble our premiums.
So bring on your cattle, your horses, machine
ry, he., and we will do the best we can, It is
true, our town Is small, having but one hotel,

to open out private boarding horses, where
