Tbe County Ticket lwlsburg.
We are informed of a report in circula
tion in some parts of the county, that
" Col. Merrill would get no votes in
Lewisburg." We take this occasion to
warn our friends, everywhere, to beware
of all such reports, for tbey are ground
less. The Convention resolved, last year,
to drop all old di.'S;nsioos; and most of
the opposition, in this Borough as well as
elsewhere, did so. There were a few un
fortunately on both sides who had not ar
rived at such a happy frame of mind as to
entirely forget tbe evil of tbe past ; but
we know many such, who bolted last fall,
who will not again, but stnnd firmly resolv
tO support TUB WHOLE TICK ET FROM
TOP TO bottom. Having from 400 to
COO majority in the county on a fair trial,
if we do not allow tbe Sbamocracy to tri-
viog settled 'queVaons,' we can elect every
nominee dj mat vote, toe omy nope ot
tbe Shams is by fomenting division among
oar disappointed candidates. In Lewis
burg, we have spoken with many, all of
whom are resolved to stanl Co their.prin
ciples. We all should have preferred for
Register & Recorder, either of our own
candidates; but Lewisburg is not entitled
to and can not have all the offices ; Col.
Merrill was fairly nominated ; he is a re
spectable man, a good penman, of gener
al acquaintance, and there is no reason
why he should not receive the full vote.
He is the first candidate for an important
office that New Berlin has obtained since
she lost the scat of justice, and that fact
appeals to every just and generous mind
to evince their sympathy auJ respect for
their candidate and his town, by giving
Lira every Whig, American, and Republi
can vote in the county.
As far as we know and believe, Lewis
burg will do her duty towards clcctiug
every man on the Ticket.

Snyder County, waking up !
The inactivity and supineness of tbe
opposition in Snyder County last Fall,
caused a loss of say 200 votes. We are
glad to learn that they do not intend to
be caught in that way again. The Mid
dleburg Tribune of last week says :
"It is surely high time that the opponents of
Slavery-Extension, Locofocoism, and the Ad
ministration generally, in this county, should
rouse up, roll up their sleeves, and go lo work
in earnest. Our enemies are in the field, bu
cy, always on the alert, and watching for eve
ry chance of success ; while we are resting
supinely at our ease, waiting for our own, or
our neighbors' spirit to move us. This is all
wrung decidedly wiong. The most impor
tant issues are ai stakes every man every
frrewian is most deeply interested in the
final result of the coming contest; and, al
though many may think that county offices
are of very little importance, be assured this
is not the case by any means. Much depends
on the men that are selected for these offices,
and much more on the manner in which they
are supported after they are selected ; and the
sus of the candidates fur the Plate office
is materially affected one way or another by
the success of these same County officers.
Snyder county is undoubtedly American Re
publican, and will give Whisht at least 600
majorily she should give 800. But this re
sult can not be brought about but by work
work. Let us be active, then work with the
determination of men resolved lo do or die, i
and we will teach the waning onam-ocracy oi
little Snyder a lesson.th recollection of which
they will carry lo their graves."

LEWISBURG CHRONICLE & WEST BM(MM5jy8
Hard Times What shall be done?
In city and country, where labor is the
great source of livelihood, the cry of op
pressite hard timet ascends. Labor is but
little, if any, better rewarded than it was
years sgo. On tho contrary, the price of
nearly every article of food has risen by
appalling degrees within the past five
years. It now takes nearly a week's
work to buy a barrel of flour, and a day's
work to bny a bushel of potatoes. It
takes half a year's wages to pay the rent
of a dwelling house, and a moiety of the
other half to buy fuel. Half of a single
man's wages is required to pay his board.
These dreary facts render it almost im
possible that laboring men should ever
gain an independent competence, or even
"lay by something for a rainy day." And
where is a prospect of better times? J"he
new countries that used to furniso the
markets with abundance at low prices, are
exhausted to supply their own new set
tlers with food till they can raise food for
themselves.
Whether there arc too many people, or
too little to eat, seems to be the only
question. Malthas theory or too little
supply for the earths population, does not
seem to be so ootiroly destitute of sense as
it did when flour was three dollars a bar
rel, and potatoes a shilling a busbcl. He
raised tbe question whether the increasing
number of the human race must not lead at
length to cannibalism or starvation. These
dreadful alternatives are already indicated
by short rations and famine prices. Econ
omy, Industry, no useless expenditures,
low taxes, more planting and less spend
ing for luxuries, are the only remedies we
can recommend.
Triumfii or TnuTn. Great complaint
having been made by the friends of Liber
ty that in some of the publications of the
American Tract Socioty,sentiments against
Slavery had been carefully expunged, a
committee was appointed on the subject,
consisting of Theodore Felinghuyscn,
Judge Jessup, Rev. Dr. Win. R. Williams
and other eminent men. At the annual
meeting on the 13th tflt, tbe committee
reported, in substance, as follows : That
the political aspect of slavery lies entirely
without the proper sphere of this Society,
and can not be discussed in its publics
cations ; but that these moral duties which
grow out of the existence of slavery, as
well as the moral evils and vices which it'is
known to promote, and which are condemn
ed in Scripture, and so much deplored by
evangelical Christians, undoubtedly do
fall within tbe province of this Society,
and can and ought to be discussed in a
fraternal and Christian spirit. Also that
no book should hereafter be published, in
6e suppressedV toef snotf fabr flHift&rki
the author should desire, or not at all.
This report was satisfactory to tbe oppo
nents of Slavery, and adopted without op
position. So the " neutrality" or rather
knuckling of the American Tract Society
to Slavery is rebuked, and will no longer
be tolerated.

After all their boasts and efforts, only 9

ensued, and some withdrew. The nomi
nees are tolerable fair men, but nobody
supposes they will come within 100,000
votes of an election. The leaden of this
rump will doubtless vote for Packer
"straight," but will get all the honest
Americans tbey can to throw away their

Prof. O.J. Wood IVar Pir: 1 have heard much said
of the wonderful eflVcta of your Hair Keetorative, but

Kestorative iu the name category with tbe thousand and
one loudly trumpeted quack remedies, until 1 met you
in Lawn-nee county some months since, hen you gave
me surb assurance as ind ueed the trial of your Kesto na
tive in my family first by my good wife, whose hair
bad become very thin and entirely white, and before
exhausting one of your large bottles, her hair was restor
ed to its original beautiful brown color,and bad thickened
and become beautiful and glossy upon, and rnttrelvover
the head : she continues to use it, not "imply because nf
its neauinyioff enecia upon we nair, nut because or its
healthful innunce upon the head and mind. Others of
my family and friends are using your Hcfturative, with
the happiest i-nVcts ; therefore ,my sk-ptirinma and doubts
in reference to its character and value are entirely re
moved; and I can and do most cordially and confiden
tially recommend its use by all who would have their
hair restored from white or gray (by reason of sickness or
ge,) to original color and beauty, and by all young per
una wbo would have their hair beautiful and glossy.
Very truly and gratefully yours,
SOLOMON 31 ANN.
Friiivd Wood ; It was a long time after I taw you at
BlissfieM b. fi re I got the bottle of Restorative for which
you gave me an order on your agent in Detroit .and when
I got it we concluded to try it on sirs. Mann's hair, as
the surest test of its power. It has done all that you
assured me it would do; and others of my family and
friends, having witnessed its effects, are now u.ing and
recommending its use to others as entitled to the highest
eouaiUuration you claim for it-
Again, very respectfully and truly, your.

I hare nsed Prof. 0. J. Wood's Hair Kestorative, and
have admired it wonderful efiects, Mv hair was becom

his Kestorative it has resumed its original color, and
have no doubt permanently so. i
