serves : "No man In all this country,

' to think that the Democrats would have
, nominated Franklin Pierce for the Presi

of the poor pittance of military reputa
tion gained by him in that war, and yet
they say that it was very ridiculous in
'the Whigs to nominate Gen. Scott on
account of his reputation gained in four
wars, and by the most illustrious civil
services in time of peace. Our political
opponents think that it is. wise to nominate
a man for the Presidency on account of a
verv small reputation, but auite silly to

one.

Lancaster, Sept. 17, 1852. The Whig

It was a formidable outpouring of the
masses.
ISTothing of the kind of the same '

that will not soon be forgotten. All the
neighboring counties were fully represen- '

than eighteen or twenty Chippewa, or
Scott and Graham Clubs in attendance.
The " Old Guard" was there in all her
strength, fully alive to the merits of the
cause and the candidates, and determined
to make an extraordinary effort, as well
in October as November. The Proces

watched with interest by a large portion .

of the experiments was so gratifying that
an instituion, the Brompton Hospical, for
the cure of bronchitis and consumption,
was immediately established, and so fa

Cabinet of President Pierce. How to
get rid of Searight, became, at once a
grave and perplexing question. But hp
must be ot rid of, or r Buck's case was
hopeless. Let us now examine the interr
nal means employed.
About this time, that is, while the Bu-
chanan men were in their greatest per- ,
plex.ty, appeared the : false andsjapdor-
ous charges against Wm Seanglit's mp-
ral. character W 0 wall not say they
were instigated for the purpose sought,
butthe.v were uicklv caucrht at hv thnsn !
who thought they had made too great a
concession in his nomination. They were,
at first privately circulated mcn wlio,be-
fore Jtdd neper dccmcd.it necessary to in-
quire two inenarccier or, a candidate, be

and it was due to the Democratic party

j. and allow the Convention which was to
' assemble. .to nominate a new candidate
. ' ,;v
who- would be more certain of an elec
tion, and besides would favor Mr. Buchan-
an's elevation.
Wc cannot say how far this matter had
gone whether the faithful were ready to
ropudiateIr. Searight at the Convention
ornot. ft was but recently started, and

nnnA rliorT lnsf. in fiinn to relieve the
' Buchanan men" from their perplexing sit-
' uation.
The most disgusting feature of the dis-
graceful occurrence took place at the
; Democratic ' Convention. In that body,
1 the very men who had hastened the death
0f Win. Searight were the first to offer
and the voices which had but recently
been traducing him, most zealous to bear
testimony to his character for rcctitnde
and honesty. Uut upon sucn simulation:
It is a disgrace to the Democratic party.
In connection with the subject, in fact
apart of it, we may mention that about the
tinje that Mr. Searinht's repudiation was
mooted, Judge Campbell paid a visit to
the North. Now the Judge's businesss
in this recrion. it is not our uurnose to en-
quire. It .is no matter of ours, for he stantly receiving. On one evening, when
has an undoubted right to visit Bradford sitting around a table with Mrs. Eliza
county, every month if lie chooses, with- Wilcox (who was the medium) and Mar
out havins the reasens for his visits en- cusC. Wilcox, her husband, with several
f, when in other parts of the State he
was deserted by those who should have
sustained him, and he desired to be more
intimately acquainted with our people.
But one thing is certain; shortly after his
visit, the faithful hereabouts seemed to
be aware that SEABIGEIT WAS TO
HAVE GONE OVERBOARD, AND
THAT HOPKINS WAS THE MAN
SELECTED AS THE CANDIDATE.
We don't know from whence they derived
their information, nor do we know that
Judge Campbell's presence North was in
; view of any such arrangement. "Wc state
; facts let others draw their own conclu
j sions.
Such is a brief history of some of the
motives and-influences which have has
tened the death of one candidate for Ca-
nal Commissioner, and made another.
It will be seen how creditable they are to
thc Democratic partv. or to the State.
IIow to remedy such evils, should be the
serious thought of every voter. What
measures can be adopted to bring our
Convention system back to its original in
tention to faithfully express the wish of
the public, is past our ability to propose.
BUT WE HOPE TO SEE SOME
THING DONE WHICH SHALL RE
DEEM THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY
FROM THE HANDS OF THE PHI
LISTINES, AND THE STATE FROM
GREEDY CORMORANTS WHO
HAVE FASTENED UPON IT FOR
PURPOSES OF PLUNDER.

STATEMENT OF HARVEY CHASE.
About the last of October, 1851,1 went
to the house of Marcus 0. Wilcox, of
Blackstone, to witness Spiritual Manifes-
tations, which I understood they were con-
Sybil Chase, my former wife, made her
presence known by rappings, au gave
her name by our calling the alphabet.
Several questions were put to her;and an
swered. I put the "following question:
"Will you take me by the hand?" The an
swer was "No." I then asked her if it
would ever be possible for her to do so?
"Yes." She then called for the alphabet
by giving five distinct raps, which was
the signal for that purpose, and we ob
tained the following reply, "Icannot shako
hands with you here, but if you will go to
Meltiah Knowlton's at Greenville, R. L,
and sit with Daniel Knowlton, (D. K. is a
younger brother of Mrs. Wilcox, and a
strong Medium,) I will take hold of your
hand." At the same time, my father and
George Knowlton, who purported to be
present, said they would take hold of my
hand, if I would, go to Greenville and sit
with Daniel. Soon after the events rela-
ted above, Marcus C. Wilcox and myself
went to the house of Mr. Knowlton, and
had a sitting with Daniel Knowlton, thc
medium, the result of which was as fol
lows: After being seated a short time, the
rapping and other manifestations wero
made, and several questions were put and
answered, before making the object of our
visit known. I then put the question,
"Are the spirits present who promised to
take me by the ljand? The answer was
",Yes." . I then held- my hand in an open
space, where it was not possible to be
reached by any one present without al
tering their position, which they did not,
as I must have Seen them

the hand of my former wife. One of her
hands was deformed by being badly burnt

, bent inward toward the palm, and the
nail on one finger was very short and
