-We this week open out in behalf of
tLe principles and candidates of the Item
o ratie Party. We an a little behind our
next column neighbor in the start, but
that is no serious cause of apprehension or
uneasiness, for it often happens that the
last shall be lirst," in the long run ; and
such we imagine will be the ultimate re
sult in the present instance. The cam
paign Li one of absorbing interests ; sec
ond to core that have preceded it, in the
magnitude and importance of the results
which are to flow from it ; and the Dem
ocracy hare closed up the ranks, and en
tered upon the contest with an energy and
hope that could only arise from a just con
fidence in the character and capabilities of
their candidates, in the force of principle,
and the intelligence and discriminating
justice of the American people. Their
confidence has not been mis-placed, nor
their hopes proved visionary. At the very
outset they have been encouraged by a
signal victory in that strong hold of the
Whigs.the Uld North State ; a happy omen
for the future, and a cheering prestige of
more signal and extensive victories here
after. We shall enJeavor to meet the wishes
of our Democratic readers, and make these
columns effective in the service of the
cause to which they are devoted, and do
our share towards achieving the success
which evidently awaits us.
Centre County.
The Democracy of this steadfast county
bare nominated Col. IIi.nrt S. Gross for
Congress, and appointed Thomas Yearick
aud J.T. Hoover, Congressional Conferees.
This action of the Center Convention
will afford much gratification to the nume
rous friends of Col. Gross in Union county,
and elicit their warmest hopes for his
success. He is 'not only a faithful and
unswerving Democrat, but a gentleman of
great euergy and tact, and few could excel
him iu a faithful and efficient discharge of
the manifold and arduous duties of the
post for which he has been named.
a"A.TIie laxt Union Time says, " We
regret to see ut respectably portion of our
Democratic fellow-citizens of Lewisburg and
White Deer committed in favor of the (200,000
subscription," and then gives about a column
of maudlin twaddle and misrepresentation,
to persuade them that they are in error .' The
cool impudence of this appeal is only exceed
ed by its mendacity. The Democracy of
Lewisburg and White Deer, are intelligent
and public spirited citizens, who understand
tlieir ova true aud substantial interests, and
can correctly estimate political principles and
movements without any light from such a
source as the Timet, as it will doubtless
diatbver before this crusade is over.
g.We had expected to get telegraphic
news from the Democratic State Conven
tion, which met yesterday at llarrisburg
to nominate a candidate for Judge of the
Supreme Court, and also a candidate for
Canal Commissioner, but an interruption
on the wires between Allentown and
Philadelphia has cut ns off.

Lafayette College, Easton, Pa., the Hon

compliment to his eminent position and
capacity, and profound legal attainments.
fj"The Fountain, the organ of the Temper
ance party in Connecticut, holds the following
strong language in reference to Gen. Pierce,
as a man :
The Hon. Franklin Pierce, of New Hamp
shire, is the Democratic candidate for Presi
dent of the liuited Stales. Outside of his pol
itics, we always liked that same Frank Pierce.
He is a man of npble impulses with a heart
as bie as a pumpkin, always ready with kind
offices generous sympathies, and good deeds,
He is a politician, and as such, may entertain
some naughty sentiments, but about that poli
ticians must enquire. As plain Frank Pierce,
toe know him uxli, and ike turn, too, and mean
to for a while yet. He is m Temperance man,
ton. We have heard some of his noble, ear
nest and eloquent appeals for humanity, and
they took bold of the heart, encouraged and
strengthened us in our toils among the Granite
Hills. We hope he is a Maine Law man, I ho'
we doiCl know what the Tumre. will do, if he
is but at any rate, he is a noble fellow, and
thus too, we wilt ever say of him, whether he
giveg ns any office under his administration
not. - " 4 .
THE BeoiKMNO OF WW K re
result of the election in' North Carolina
seals the fate of the whigs so far as the
South is concerned, and they cm scarcely
hope to elect Gen. Scott without some
Southern votes. To lose such a Stat as

field personally superintending the elec
tion, backed by the men, the money and
the influence of the administration of
wkkh hchad but Ltltly formed a part, is '
well , calculated to dampen the spirits of
the most enthusiastic friend of ScoTT and
Graham, and lead him to doubt the
availability as well as the invincibility of
his favorite candidate. To the democracy
it is equally encouraging, much better
indeed than we had dared to hope for ; it
shows us that military dorr is not to
decide the present contest, but that the
people are awake to the true issues, and
disposed to decide them intelligently,
which is all we ask to ensure our success.
The result in North Carolina is but the
beginning of the end, the precurser of a
series of brilliant victories, which are to
result in th e success of the democratic
candidates, the final establishment of the
democratic party and its principles.
In the glorious galaxy of States, in
which .those victories are to be achieved
shall the name of Pennsylvania shine
brightly as the Keystone of the Democra
tic Arch or be wanting altogether? It
is for you democrats of the Old Keystone
to answer ; never let it be said that in the
advocacy of democratic principles, the
support of democratia candidates, the
Keystone faltered while the old North
State stood firm. Keystone.

Bora Testimony.
Below the reader will find a letter from
Lieut R. C. Drum to Hon. Charles Shaler,
of Pittsburg, Pa., again refuting the ab
surd charge of cowardice made by the
more reckless of the whigs against Gen
Pierce. We don't know that it is neces-.
sary to publish these refutations. Wi
presume no one believes the charge of
cowardice, which is abundantly disproved
by the official report of Gen. Scott him
self; we publish them however for the sat
isfaction of those who are desirous of hav
ing a candidate who has really been not
only in battle, but in the post of danger
in range of the guns and shot of the ene
my. This Lieut Drum's testimony, as
well as the testimony of other witnesses,
establishes for Gen. Pierce, and while we
are on the subject we would like to know
whether there is any evidence to show that
Gen. Scott, in any of the Mexican battles,
was actually as near the fire of the enemy
as Gen. Pierce is shown to have been on
more than one occasion. Let it be under
stood that we do not mean to insinuate
that if Gen. Scott was not within a mile
of the enemy's guns, it was because he
was afraid to go nearer; we have no doubt
that he was exactly where he ought to have
been, we know that Pierce was, but as the
Whigs lay so much stress on his only be
ing hurt by the fall of his horse, when, as
they doubtless think, he should at least
have been shot through the head to prove
his bravery, we would like to know wheth
er the Commander-in-Chief gave in this
campaign auy greater evidence of bravery
than was shown by our General. We
pause for a reply ? Meantime read Lieut.
Drum's letter.
Fobt Bbadt, Saut t. Marie, (Mich.,) J
July 80, las.. J
Diab sib: In reply to your interrogatory
respecting the absurd allegation that 'lien.
Pierce managed to faint at the commencement
of every battle " during the campaign in the
valley of Mexico, I will give you the following
detailed statement as an eye-unlness of most, if
not all. Gen. Pierce's movements during those
engagements.
On the 18th of August. 187. Gen. Pierce
was directed to act with his brigade as a sup
porting force to that portion of Gen. Twigg's
division ordered to attack in front of the ene
my position at Contreras.
In complying with these instructions, he
was exposed to a continued discharge of round
shot and shells. The General was at this
time mounted and riding alow a ledce of
pedigral, (volcanic rock.)
rock.) After having ad
vanced with his force abont half a mile, di
rectly towards the enemy's work, the fire from
tneir battery Decame very severe; the air
being filled with missiles, his horse took fright
and fell with him on the ledge, throwing the
General some distance aud injuring him very
severely. The general impression at the time
with those who witnessed the accident was,
that he was either killed or severely wounded'
fie was intuit, when this accident hap-
' pened, in advance of his brigade, and certain-
, ly displayed during that engagement as mod
much
gallantry as any whose actions came under
my observatmu.
Though seriously disabled, as was indeed
evident from his physical appearance, he re
mained in the field that night, and insisted
upon joining the Contest on the morning of
the 30th ; ana although it was with difficulty
he could retain his seat on horseback, yet be
ted his command into the engagement of Chu
rubusco ; while (here, be was relieved in corn-
mand by Gen. Shields, in consequence of the
injury received the preceding day
From this injury Gen. Pierce did not re-
cover during his stay in Mexico; and it was.
I believe, the cause of his return home after
the occupancy of the capital.
Gen. Pierce's conduct during his march
from Vera Cruz to Pnebla was certainly suf
ficient to shield him from to foul an accusa
tion as the one above quoted.
Within my own knowledge he was frequent
ly exposed lo the enemy's fire, and upon every
occasion conducted himself with that proprie
ty that should characterize the conduct of
every, brave and true soldier.
He has 4sver presumed to lie military
man; bat Jhose who witnessed his conduct
know that every order given him was not only
executed, bat with a promptness and correct
!ijdnee of th Bsosr imminent militarr

men ef the armV. There was; however, one

The greater the

AW At the Whig Congressional Confe
rence in llarrisburg last Friday, but 1 vote
was allowed Lower Mabanoy. A pledge
was given that Union county should have
the Congressman but one year, when Jas.
Fox, &q., the caudidate from Dauphin,
withdrew his claims for a nomination, and
Ncr Middleswarth of Union was nomina
ted by a vote of 6 to 4 for Mr. Bibighaus
of Lebanon.
StirTuz Anniversary of the Battles
of Contreras and Churubusco, was celebra
ted by a Scott Mass Meeting at HarrULurg
on Friday last. Half the Counties of the
State were represented. Gen. Wm. II.
Irwiiv (of the Mexican War) was Presid
ent, assisted by it large number of Vice
Presidents and Secretaries, among whom
were Messrs. Marshall, Snyder, Hayes,
Hoover, and Woods of Union county. At
the different speakers' stands, addresses
were made by Judge Conrad of Philada.,
Senator Seavicr of Louisiana, Gen. Leslie
Coombs of Kentucky, Judge Johnson of
Ohio, Mr. Merriuk of Baltimore, Senator
Foote of Vermont, Hon. Mr. Campbell of
Ohio, and several other gentlemen from
Pennsylvania. The Telegraph says :
"The crowd, the bands of music, the
Glee Club, the banners, badges, and the
active and energetio party men present,
made the Convention a very rccpectalle
one in numbers, spirit, and character. It
was larger than the first Harrison Conven
tion in 1840, and larger than the first
Taylor Convention in 1848."
KaF"In North Carolina, the personal
popularity of Mr.Reid,and divisions among
the Whigs on questions of State policy,
have ensured his re-election, as was by
many Whigs expected. In 1848, Bcid
lacked only 874 of being elected Governor,
yet in a few weeks afterwards, Taylor had
8,650 majority. Graham had about 8,000
majority the last time he was Governor.
North Carolina is safe for 5,000 to 10,000
for Win-the-ficld Scott and her own often
honored and never-defeated Graham.
nNew Hampshire is the model, the
pattern Democratic State. In that State,
no Catholics or Jews can hold any State
office, but Negroes may ! If the Irish
and Germans of the Union endorse such
intolerance and partiality, by voting for
"the favorite son of New Hampshire" for
President, they will be thought fit subjects
for" a Lunatic Asylum OK the Native
American Party 1
ngy-The election in Boston of Delegates
to the Whig State Convention of Mass.,
resulted in favor of Scott over Webster
candidates. Thus ends the last organised
schism in the Whig party, which is now
better united than it was for Taylor two
months before his election.
mAGreeley, of the Tribune, advises all
people not to bet on eleotions it is demo
ralising, and one effort only counteracts
anothor : but if you trill bet (he says) do
not hot on Pkrcc.
" 10O more Majority.'
A friend was recently in company with a
number of gentlemen of the Pierce party,
when the ruin of an Ironmaster who had until
recently struggled to live under the Tariff of
'46, was commented upon. One of the gen
tlemen remarked, "your county ought to give
100 more Democratic majority, now that
Mr. is down."
The incident struck ns as one worthy of:
thought The ruin'of a man past middle age, !
who had invested in an honorable enterprise
all the earnings of himself and his family,
during a laborious and economical life, is
commented upon as a party blessing. The
scattering abroad of a large number of la
boring men who had derived their support J
from an iron establishment, is considered as ,
good for 100 more Democratic majority." ,
So, when the English landlords eject a bun- j
dred poor Irish families from their native
hearths, and toss their humble cabins to the
winds, they boast of 100 more Englishmen in
their places, and count it all a gain nothing
caring for the houseless and homeless fugi
tives, without bread and without means of
earning it ! And so would the heartless phy
sician exult in the ravages of disease, that lie j
might make a few more dollars ! This trio of ;
politicians weighed the fortune of a man ,
once of wealth, and the means of subsistence
of a hundred families, as of less consequence
than a paltry hundred votes ! ! And they call
themselves Democrats !
Look at the silent Forges and Foundries
over this State ! Inquire for the miners who
once wrought at Turlleville, on Montour
Ridge, &c dec You will find half or three-
fourths of the smaller iron works suspended
totally. Only those estalishments, which, hav
ing broken down me builders, are obtained for
next to nothing, or the larger establishments,
where a great amount of capital and peculiar
advantages protect them, are now in operation,
and many of those at a loss : for, with the
large capital invested, they can only go on,
sacrificing, and hoping fur better times as
the only means of avoiding a greater loss.
We never hear our people rejoicing over
the destruction of farmers, ot merchants, or
mechanics; why is this fiendish exultation
over the ruin of iron manufacturers ? " What
evil have they done !" The great wealth of
Pennsylvania lies in her iron one pound of
which, worth a few pennies in a crude state,
by manufacturing may be valued at thousands
of dollars ! To transform the raw material
into the manufactured fabric to convert po
verty into wealth is the business of the Iron
master. What class of persons, or what
branch of industry, does he injure ! None
but he benefits the farmer, the mechanic, the
day-laborer, the merchant, aud all those en
gaged in other manufactures. No department
of domestic industry is of more advantage lo
our country than the iron manufacture.
We ask, why then this political party ha
tred of the iron business 1 and we answer :
1st because 9 out of 10 of those engaged in
it ask for and need protection against foreign
pauper labor and facilities acquired by age
and capital, by a proper Tariff Law ; and
Sd because they remember that a good Tariff
Law was wrested from them by swindlers
who obtained that power by professing to be
the best friends of that Tariff, and of Penn
sylvania interests especially. These two facts
furnish the answer of the bitterness of the ha
tred of the Piercers to the great interest of
Pennsylvania.
Twenty-nine Furnaces have been sacrificed
nnder the Sheriff's hammer in Clarion county
alone within one year. A No. of the" Clarion
Register" of the 14th insu is before us, which
contains not less than 79 Sheriff's sales seven
furnaces, foe mills, and sixty-seven tracts of
land. That is an Iron county, and gave 10t9
majority for " Polk, Dallas, aud the Tariff
of '4S"!
Why should not iron and other manufac
tures be made lo flourish in our State, as well
as Agriculture, Commerce, and the Mechanic
Arts ! Experience has proven and is proving
that nothing but a Protective Tariff can prop
erly develop the Iron interest. And the elect
Ion of another Tariff President, and of Tariff
Congressmen from Pennsylvania, would, we
doubt not, induce the sell-styled Democratic
party to unite with the Whigs on the platform
of Jefferson lan Tariff principles, and enact
laws that shall enable our iron makers not lo
barely live merely, but to flourish and greatly
increase.
Those we PoTkedin '44
We'll Pierce in '52,"
Is the bnrden of a " Song " printed, but not
sung, by the Democracy. Whenever we see
ii, we are reminded of the old proverb, If a
man cheats me once, be the shame his ; if he
cheats me twice, be the shame mine." The
confession of having cheated the people in '44,
is unnecessary: they understand it; and they
have no intention of having the game repeated
at their expense.
The Pennsylvania Tariff men were Polked,
'tis true ; but their interests need no additional
Pierccing from the same party.
The haters of Slavery in Ohio and New
York were Polked with Silas Wright's opinion
that they would curb that evil : they have not
the notion, now, of Piercing themselves with
the same folly again.
Vessels on the Western Rivers and Harbors
have been Polked about against snags and on
sand bars and rocks, enough, at present; if the
people there wish the system continued, they
will be Pierced through with greater sorrows
which we think they don't intend to do.
The veteran leaders of the Democracy were
Polked one side in '44, and as to being now
Pierced upon the wall, and there transfixed as
defunct specimens of Old Fogies, they wont if
they are not fools.
No, no, Messrs. Polk-ites and Pieree-ers!
yonr design is too transparent ; the people of
your party did not approbate your system, ei
ther in '48 or in choosing the convention of
'S3. Your only excuse is, that, like the old
maid who took a very indifferent man for a hus
band, saying, " a poor husband is better than
none," you agreed upon Pierce, rather than
have no candidate, and resolved to " go through
the motions," trusting that
Those you Polked in '44
You'd Pierce in '6a."
Tue best we wish you is, that you may fail of
yonr very honest aim, get soundly thrashed,
and become good Jeffersonian Tarid Demo
crats for the balance of your lives.
(j Brownlow, the apostate Parson of Ten
nessee, formerly a Whig, but who -opposed
Taylor, says, "Pierce is too cold blooded a
Yankee for him to support;" and as he has ad-
, vertised Scott aa a big negro with a pack on
his back, it is doubtful " where he bUall so."
