has 'taught him that to plough land when wet
...
is exceedingly injurieut to it: •but has the cir
cumstance itself caused him •to inquire why it
is so? ' It is too simple a truth to teach that
that the cultivated earth'has a capacity tofeed
• upon that nourishment with which it is eon
etnntlY ll' 3 lTH'ed 4 ZY - the Pactura elements : that
light and heat are essential to its capacity for
prodUction - as they are to the vitality of the.
animal body.: and that the effect of ploughing
land When it is -wet, is to shut up these mouths
and lungs, and make it impervious to light,
heat, and nourishment, and for the want of
them it dies? This idea would give to many
farmers a subject for thought, and induce them
to carry their reflections into the whole sub
ject. of ploughing , and While actually engaged
in-the-work, the work, the naturally vigoiousmind would
expand into the inquiry hoW it may always be
done well. Knowing then, that the object of
ploughing is to put the - groundin that loose,
pliable condition, in which it will the more
readily receive nil these advantages which it
naturally_requires,..ha_will _ take-another -step ;
and inquire into the character of the plough he
uses. Does it make that mis-calred beautiful
work, where the ploughed groand is turned o
- %eras hard as a pressed brick, over Which you
may walk without making a foot print, or does
it leave it in the condition we have before de
scribed, ready to receive the nourishment
whioh so increases its capacity itir produc
tion?
This is but one of the thousand plain sug
gestions whiCh maybe offered to the intelligent
mind' 0f..• the farmer, calculated to produce
thought, excite an interest in the business in
which he is engaged; and ultimately produce
new and practical - results. ,
Whilst We "wOuld not exclude- entirely from,
the columns Of your journal,the descriptions of

THE DEMOCRACY IN A HUFF I
The Locofoco Judicial ticket is not at all to
the liking of the Demooracy of Cumberland
county. A groat squirming followed its an
nouncement, and a day or two olapised before
any regular simon-pure Democrat could be
found bold enough to declare his intention .of
of supporting the whole ticket. It was sr/de
pend that the. Volunteer did not intend to bout
all the names at its mast-bead. Judge Camp
bell is universally denou;Ced and without stint:
With respect to judge Gibson the larger number
-- have - prudently taken a position " on the fence."
How he came to get a nomination from a Demo
cratic Convention is a puzslik to our unsophis
fleeted Locos. Judges Black and Lowrie aro,
in better odor, - Imit JUdge Lewis its• regarded
with mistrust and suspicion. The Democracy
is in fact Tory much dismitisfied, The Cue
men are dissatisfied because Buchanan has
r
dictated a n d controlled every thing, and even
the friend's of Buchanan think the ticket smells
too triuoh;i 4 of "ancient Federalism." On the
whole the Democracy. of Cumberland have had
their i Unthusinsm considerably dampened by
the Beading and Harrisburg Conventions.
Chief Jultiee Gibson, of Carlisle, who is oar-.
thinly, the- ablest candidate on the list and
Onjoyiti an eminent reputation as a jurist, was
appointed President Judge of thellihJadioinl
DistriCt in 1812.' When Judge Brackonbridge
died'id 1816, he Gram appointed ne his suoces
nor on the fitipreine Boners; and in 1829, on
the death of Chief Justice Tilghnian, be ' Was
appointed Chief Justice, Which commission he,

SETH CLOVEE'S NOIKINATION
Seth Clover resides in Clarion, arid was Once
Sheriff of thatoounty. We do mat know that
he ever served the people in any other capac
ity. They, who know him, says the Harris
burg American, represent him ne a man of ve
ry little eapacity,.and totally . - unqualified both
by education and experience, for the impoitant
office of Canal Commissionor:-.lli-knwirrioth
ing of eanals and railroads, and never traveled
so far on•them in his life, as he has done by
attending the Heading concention. _ •
The freemen -of Pennsylvania should - not
place a man of Clover's character . nod ability
in the Canal Board, for the times require a
sternly honest, intelligent, Cnergetio and pub-.
lie spirited Canal Commissioner. The times
require a man who can bailie 'ind expose
knavery, and who will not, like Clover, become
the dupe of knaves. The times, too, require a
man of opposite political principles c:;can the
majority of the Board, so that political con
siderations may not prevent him from exposing
injustice, illegality arid corruption.
The Canals and Hailroeds of the State have
-created an enormous public debt, laden the
people with taxes, and emiched a number of
blood-suckers. • The oppoSition,'themselves,
admit that there have been the greatest cor
ruption, and profligate_ expenditurn of Money
along them. The same eoiruption and. prof:li
gaoicontinue, 'and will confine until there hi -

The Locafocos aro playing a very bold game
—one in :Which, however, they :will be veryapt
~to overreach-themselves. They have at last,
comedown to the proposition, that upon the
election of 'Cal. Bigler depends the Union of
the States. This they vociferate wary indus-
triously, and hope to gall some simple souls by
the foolish twaddle. They, .forget all else.—
They leave out of view.tho Tariff Question, and
the infamous conduct of their party in repeal
ing the Tariff of 164 E, after solemnly promis
ing the people of Penasylvania mot to' disturb
it. ;They forget to defend their representatives
at Harrietsarg last winter, who attempted 117.
pass a MAMMOTH APPROPRIATION BILL
which Might have beggared the State Treadis
ry, and4ould have itioreseed the State debt at
least $250,000. ' They forgot - the - vote -Mr:
Bigler gave in the State Sonata in favor of
- TAXING LINEAL INHERITANCES. They
: overlook the proposition of their Canal
.Cgp
missioners televy A TAX 1171 , 0 N COAL at the!
pit, order, 'indirectly, to disciairage mining
and depress labor. All these and ..other
im
portant questions of State policy they entirely.:
neglect, and fall back upon the assertion, that
Goy. Johnston's election will dissolve the
nion, and that Mr. Bigler4lelection will ',Save
it.
Who can seriously think that the election of
Col. Bigler will "savothe Onion?"' Can Col.
Bigler destroy it? If so, where did he receive
the vast power which'will enable hinito'creree
twenty millions of freemen ? All pretence' of
any one man or set of men saving or'destroy

the (Montalto .of monarchist', the ravings of
insanity, or the suggestions of puerility.

The New Lutheran Church
The corner-atone of the new Lutheran
Church in this borough, was laid on. Friday
morning last, with appropriate religious exer
cises. A large concourse of people was in at
tendance, from town and country. The min
isters of all denominations in our 'Borough
were present, and several of them bore a" part
in tbe.ceremonies. The services Were opened
by an addreis from the Rey. John:G. Morris,
of Baltimore, in which he dwelt chiefly apon
the distinctive character of Ltitheranism. Mr.
Morris' address was both eloquent and inter
esting and was listened i to with fixed atten-
tion by the audience! He was followed by
the Rev. Mr. Johnston, Pastor,of the Second
Prebbyterian Church of Carlisle, •Who' in a
brief but happy general address alluded td the
calamity .which had befallen the Lutheran
Congregation by the destruction of their
church edifice, and 'to. the warm sympathy
which was felt by other religions denomina
dons in behalf of its re-construction. An ap
propriate hymn was then sung in admirable
style by the choir under the direction of Mr,
Jacob 'lectern, and during the singing a col
lection was raised in aid of the new enter.
prise.
The laying of the corner-stoic was thenfOr
mallY gone through with, in which the Pastor,
the' Rot. John N. Holfmnu,officiated and recit
ed the ancient practice of the Church in rare,.
rence to the laying of corner-stones of cluirch
I edifices. The now building was solemnly ded
icated to the-Triune Hod. In the corner
stone wore deposited -a copy of tho Bible,
Lutheren - Hymn Book, a copy-of thO
Augs
burg Confession of Faith, a volumeOff..§-8-
tiei of the Lutheran Church, and a' copy of
each of the newspapers printed in this boro"..
The articles being deposited, n prayer was of
fered.liy the Her: Mr.,-, and
Wing of were closed by Rev, Mr. Wing of thu,
neat: Presbyterian 'Church, who, pronounced'
the benediction. -
The new building, which will be energeti
cally carried ou to an early completion, we un
derstand will be a handsome and highly fin
ished edifice Such as will adll' ghatly to the
e=ternal appearance of our borough.
Rail Road Accident.
• _ciudy_passertrv_train.-ta.-Harrishurg--
was throWn off the track yesterday morning,
about three miles below town, by running over
p number of cows. No less than six cows were
killed, while the engine was very considerably
injured.and_the.sails...for_aeterallardstorn out
lof place.. The passeugers•had to i lm,hronght
back to town. -
This thing of cattle running on the railroad
track is a serious evil, and considering the
great losses many farmers have antlered, is
surprising thai so little care is taken to .keep
cattle out of danger. The owner of these cat
tle will probably consider his loss a great
hardship. But the Supreme Court has deci
ded, and wisely too, that the claim for dama
ges-is really and justly on the ride of the Rail
Road Company, whose.property is • ondangir,
ed, , end the Passengers, whose lives aro put hi
jeopardy, by such obstructions on rail, road
tracks. And this is just as obviously true as is,
the fact that the life of a human being is or
more value than a cow. ,
Meantime we hear occasional complaintellt
gainst the engineers of a want of. sufficient
onro and regard for the safety of persons ri
ding or driving on roads parallel with the rail
road. Such conduct cannot be too severely t
reprehended. The mere running of a train,
however' rapid, will not generally frighten
horses,--but-the shrill blasts of-the steam whisflo_t.
and other discordant noises of the iron-horse
are too much for the nerves of the noble ani
mal of flesh and blood, and .no careful , and
courteous engineer (which' all ought to be)
will unnecessarily frighten him in this way
and expose to-danger his - rider or driver.

Mr. Editor—As...improvements in pavements
appears to be the order' of the day, would it
not be well enough for the wise men-of
,the
town to sweep more before their own door and
thereby give example and encouragement to
others. In other words, let the 'town council
cause pavements to be made across the centre
square, viz; ono to start on the side pavement
on Main street, near Burkholder's Hotel, to
lead North,Enst until it atilkos the side pave
ment on North Hanover street, at the brick
pavement near the Smith East corner of the
First Presbyterian church ; ono to start at the
side pavement on High street,-nesr Mr. Hit
ner's
store, to lead North West, until it strikes
the side pavement on North—Hanover - street,
and the pavement in ffont of the Episcopal
Church; nutleto start at the sidc.pavement
on, High, streeKstet the North end of the msrket
house, to lead South West uhtil it strikes the
side pavement on SOuth Manover street at the
West end of the market house. - These pave
ments might be made of plank for a small sum
of money, but.l care not of what material they
are made, so that they are made without de
lay, because they have been delayed too long
already. Surely there, is not a man, woman,
or child +. in the borough or Carlisle, or those
visiting'a, but will approve of this improve
ment. There is no street, alley or place in
Carlisle, more used and where pavements arc
more needed., particularly in wet weather.
