OUR COUNTY TICKET
Our candidates for the -Legislature, Dr.
TIIONIAS L. CATUCART and. RODER'S' M. Jiese
manses, are Men, says the Shippensburg News,
of sterling worth ; men whose private virtues
are beyond the.reach of party malevolence, and
who m! , pouted fictions are pure and spotless.—
lf they should be elected,pp we have every
hope they will, the tet-payers of old Mother
Cumberland need not fear that they will votO
for_an_increase of the State debt, as_Mr_Don
ham has done, nor will they add to the bur
dens already crushing the people, which have
been brought upon them by the reckless of
the opposition..
• Our candidates for the county offices aro all
good men wad true ; and if they should not be
elected, it will be because the Whigs neglect
to do their duty. The. Whim party of Cumber
liave never had a better or more popular
ticket in'the field, and it is the duty of every
- one; - old - and young, rich and
. p'cior, to work
without ceasing from now till the dny of elec
tion, and it can - and tnuat be elected. Every
one knows that a full vote is a Wh:g victory;
-and-as-there are no-dissensions in our - party,
no biciterings or heart-burnings, every man
should turn out to the polls, at lonia, and we
will- be 'victorious. It is to be hoped tlihrOVlv
ery man will do his duty. By the nomination
of Mr. Bonham our enemies have endorsed the
anti-Atnerican doctrine of Free Trade; and
will the farmers and wOrking-Men endorse the
man who' would see them idle, and their sub
stance given to the foreigner ? Will you thus
madlysellyourselves to. the enemies' of your
your own interests ? , We trust not.
SPONSLER AND ItITTER.
The Volunteer in its lengthy stereotyped en-.
logy of the candidates on the „Looofoco ticket,
says tfr. Ritter,lho candidate for Registers
f , he . is-poor; with. a - large - fautily Alependent
upon Lim for support."
,•
Now if our neighbor expects, to benefit Mr.
Bitter by thus contrasting him with Alfred
Sponsler, the Whig candidate, we think __the
sohime will prove a failure. - Mr. Bitter is a
respectable man, and we have no fault to find
with him, but he is not so poor as to. require
any sympathy. On the contrary he is well
known to be in very comfortable niroumstan
/fiances, snd if ho has a &oily dependent upon
him he also has a sound boa; and strong
hands which enable him easily to suppoil. them.
But how is it with his most unfortunate com
petitor, Annum Broftsrmn? 1f the%people of
*the county want to see a person whose situa
tion really entitles him to friendly considera
tion lot them coral) and look at Alfred Spons
ler. His situation speaks for itself'. Entirely
disabled by a.most afflictivo casualty—doomed
tor life probably to his solitary wheeled chair,
and shut out from all active partioipation in
tho competitions of life where the able-bodied
win the rich' rewards of industry, he is truly
poor-Li:poor hie limited means of personal
enjoymentr--poor in pecuniary resources—poor
in all but those noble qualities of heart and
hied which'enable him to bear with a manly
and even joyous endurance the severe trials
which have fallen to his lot. - But Mr. Spans

have. apnrty contest for the comparatively
un
important station of Associate Judge. In Or
tier to secure an independent Judiciary we be
lieve the mass of bOth parties would prefer
have a representation of" both parties-the , froo
choice of the people, .irrespective of party
bonds, - - - on - the-bench.—The, Whig-party-have-
kcideelered by
.a .resolution of, their County
Convention, and by their deliberate , omission
to nominate candidate's for either President or
Associate Judges. The election of Judges is
a new thing. It is naturally looked upon with
concern end apprehension by all good citizens,
who fear that party. neminations for the Judi
ciary.tnny seriously interfere with, if not en
tirely destroy the purity of the administration'
of justice. The Whigs, therefore, in-this first
election for Judges; earnestly desire 'to start
right—to set a good
.preccdettt--by leaving the
question..open to the free choice of the people.
They show their disposition to unite with our
opponents to secure the electiku of Judges who
are'not hound by partizan nominations.
A portion of Our opponents have already ta
ken the first step toward the election of an in
dependent Judiciary. Our neighbor of the
Democratpub,lishee the resolution of the Whig

ship an old, rell-knciwn and respectable citi
zen of the county, is also offeredin that paper
for Associate Judge. A portion of our oppo
nents thus show themselves to be actuated by
the same spireas the Whigs in endeavoring
to secure judicial officers who are free of all
partyo6ligatione. Col. Woodburn has been
known tor veers as a warm and zealous parti
zan in the ranks of our opponents, but in ta
king a stand against the nsminations of his
own pap , ho Shows that lie is fully aware of
the imfortance of the step. The evidences
are 'also unmistakeable that if Col. Woodburn
remains in the field, lie will be supported by
huiidreds pf dethocrats who will vote throughout
for the Independent Judicial Ticket headed by
Judge Watts.
We are not the advocate of Col. Woodburn,
but if he is a man of integrity, honesty, intel
ligence and general acquaintance with the poo l
pie and affairs of the county, (which we be
Hove he is acknowledged to be,) we know no
reason why he should not bo supported by the
Whigs. If a large portion of our opponents
are willing to give up their partizan. predilec
tions and support a Whig for President Judge
and Assodiate, we should, in order to secure
an independent Judiciary, bo ready , to Meet
them in the same spirit, and cordially unite

' it is right to keep the Judiciary free from poll

The' only question, therefore, is, shall the

is offered to make the independent candidates

• Two names have been' sent to us as Whig
volunteer candidates for Associate Judge, those
of JOHN of Hampden, and JAMES
NED; of Mifflin. Both are shod men and
good Whigs, but the feeling of our friends, St ,
far as' information has reached us,-seems to
predominate in favor of JOHN RUPP', who be
longs to the hrwer seetipn of the county which
is believed to be entitled to the candidate, and
because he comes from the large and respecta
ble German poppltfirci - ti`of the county which
ought to ha ria. representative on the bench.
JOHN furs is is sound, substantial and intelli
gent dermal fanner. He enjoys fully the
confidenCe' of his fellow-citizens, as is well
.shown by the number of estates ho is_annually_
called upon to settle, and is practically quell

THE WHIG COUNTY TICKET
We are gratified to learn from the Shippens
burg Yews , that the nominations made by the
WhidVeii'Ventielf""bfllletitlirrweekrare-ve
colveti with the strongest:'' expressions of ar ,
probation by the Whigs of the upper districts.
Of the Whig iandidato for Commissioner, Mr.
Cresslor, the New speaks in theiighest orals,
and predicts that such is his popularity at
home that "his vote in his own township will
be heavier than that of any other man on "the
ticket:" The .News says—
. " Belovr we give the ticket nominated.by the
Whig County Convention on Monday last, and
we hazard nothing in saying that there never
has been a stronger; a better, or n o neore popu
lar ticket presented to the Whigs of Cumber
land. Our candidates for the Legislature,
CATIWART and HENDERSON, are men of more
than ordinary ability, and are just such men
as we went to, represent us in the Legislature.
Mr. Ilexiderson's popularity about Carlisle,
will clip the wings of Mr. Bonham, who die
graced old Mother Cumberland in our het Le
_gislature, by advimating_ the doctrine of Free
'Trade, a doctrine which has more than once
spread desolation over. the face of our com
monwealth. Our candidate for Prothonotary,
Mr. ZINN, is a' oor man, and is well qualified
to discharge the duties of the office for which
he has been nominate 4: Mr. Broxstv,n, who
has been put upon the ticket as the candidate
for Register; is a cripple, an 4 will be trimly.'
phantly elected. No ono can dispute his qual- ,
..illeatione, and his vote in ,October will prove, '
, as the vote has heretofore done,
that the peo
ple of Carlisle sympathize with him in his rais
rort,zo. We have not a bettor man in the
county ti:Yi Joseru G. CIIENSLEN, our condi

deserves, the esteen': and respect of every one
who knows him; and it ho is not elected it will
not be the fault of his rieighbiN, for 'we pre
dict
that his vote in his own townsiisp, will be
heavier than that of any other man ml the
ticket. Mr: &Tynan is popular, competent,
•and worthy, and is the very man we want for
the office of Auditor. Messrs. CODEAN, MON
SEN and LINE, aro all men of unexceptionable
character, and sterling worth, and are worthy
of the support of. the Whigs."

what Gen. Bickel, the present State Treasurer
says on this subject, in his last annual report
to the Legislature, vrliiCh was made on the 9th
- of Jar Mary, 1851, from which we takethe
lowitig extracts: •
"With a revenue annually 'augmenting, as
(he property, real and personal, of the Com
monwealth is increasing in value, womay have
every reason to look forward to the future with
encouraging hope that Pennsylvania will not
only be.able, from the present revenue laws, if
rigidly andproperly enforced, and if no .un
necessary appropriations be made, to pay the
interest- upon the -publio-debt regularly as it
falls due, 'but that Wore many years shall have
elapsed, the debt itself may be so far dimin
ished as that the net yield from the public im
provements of the State will pay the interest.

August . :Conk. '
To give an, idea of the , amount of business
which came up at the August term of the Court
,of Quarter Sessions, /re. of this: county, held
week,.we will State that idiont
of indictment were acted upon by the- Grand
Jury; and that in addition to the other inci
dental business of the Court 'there were twen
ty-se:lei:jury Oda. A number of bills were
lyriFirli/bYthe - Gin - it the p
tips were not arrested, and the trials of seve
ral others were postponed. The Grand Jury
were highly complimented by the Court upo%
the neouraby, good judgment and promptness
which. they exhibited in the discharge of their
wearisome duty. This largo amount of busi
, nese was so rapidly despatched by the Court
that the jurors were all discharged and the
Court lett free to adjourn'on Friday afternoon.
So Tatty of
, them being of a disreputable
,character wo have thought
: no good purpose
could be served by giving a detailed report of
the cases - tried. •Most of tlio cases weir) of
merely local interest. Washington Gould, con
victed on his own confession of havingnet tiro
to the stable connected with the ' public house
at the earner of Hanover and Pomfret streets,
and.afterwartFte the stable in which the great
fire of'lllnrcli lent originated, was sentenced
to three years.. imprisonment in the Eastern
'.Penitentiary. _Several-cases. of assault-mid -
' battery, &c..in which the parties Wordsoldiors -
connected with the Lf..S. Garrison, were dis
missed by Hie Court, the Court declaring that
it would take no jurisdiction in cases where the
offence-was committed within the precincts of
the Garrison. Messrs. Willis Foulke, Robert
Noble, John B. Noblt, and Ilenrriteighter, in
dicted for the tearing down of the Court House
- fence some month Since, were acquitted, with
the exception of Reighter, who was convicted
on his own confession, and sentenced to a fine
and imprisonment in the county jail. Hoff
man and others, indicted for stealing hogs
from the distillery of Col. W.. M. Henderson,
and Dour, &e. frOm Rheem's warehouse, were
convicted and sentenced to three years in the
Penitentiary, Michael Lehley, convicted of
being an necessary after the fact, was sent4n
ceil to six months in.the county jail, Ssyernl
persons indicted for a libel on the Rev. Mr.
Bennet, of Newburg, were discharged froth
trial owing to the discovery of a flaw in the in
dictment.
sr..rii CLOVER'S UNFITNESS
asserted• early in the canvass, says the
Ilvrrisburg American, that Seth Clover is ab
solutely incompetent to discharge the duties of
Canal C,ornmissiciner. Our statements have
been confirmed by those who know him best.-
16th 14, published in Clarion, Seth Clover's
Lome
" In the first place, ire say that Gen. Seth
-Clover-is-unpopular-in-his-own-county—that
he will not - get his party vote by about - five
hundred, This every observer of the political
signs of the times in this country knows'to be
the fact. The reason is, that the people of
the county KNOW lIIM, and he is unpopular
because they know him to be utterly ine.aupe
-tent to fulfil the duties of the office to which
hp aspires. Qualification was a rrquialte which
Jefferson always required in a emdidate for
office. 'The people.of Clarion th . .ilt as Jailer-
Son did on this point; and they know Mier
(although a clever fellow) is manifestly desti
tute of the necessary qualifieatiows for fheitn
portant office to which he has berm nominated
by the influence of James Bohai: m. If She
riff Clover could add up . a coiuma' of figures
six inches high, in two lours, wo might let
him pose.
--'u Whet we- mean is this, (to ho
Laat fall, when the return Judges of the coun
ty met in this place; Sheriff Clever, all by acci—
dent, we presume—was nominated by a certain
return Judge, a clerk for the board. The
Sheriff in turn by a sort of ' tickle me,and I'll
tick'o you' rule, nominated the aforesaid Judge
the other clerk.. The beard, not wishing ..to
hurt the Sheriff's feelings, of course Kissed
both motions. Then the labor of counting up
votes commenced—this happened in the after."
noon—at it they went—the Judge from Clarion
township, and the General. The . ) , marked and
figured till the perspiration stood in great drops
upon their intellectual noddles.
" We don't find so much fault with the re
turn Judge-alluded- to,-but- we did- think- Seth
had ability enough to do the thing np " Com
plete" ; but we were mistaken. He worked
away hard again. Again ho tried it. We be
lieve he made a. few mesmeric passes, but even
his favorite science failed him, and about
MIDNIGHT be gave it up ai . past his power of
enduranceor 'mathematical. skill, and the
board had to send a Mr. Thom, of Limestone
township, (we believe.) doWn fur Mr. Thomp
son, the Prothonotary, who came up, and in a
few minutes relieved the General by giving the
right count.
" We give this leaf front the life and exploits
of Seth Clover—the would-ho Canal Commis-
Sioner—to show his ability, and leave hint for
this week, by putting the following question
in " simple multiplication" for !any of his
friends to work out.
" If it takes Sheriff Clover from four o'clock,
P. 111., till midnight, to count up and arrange
the election returns of Clarion county—and
then can't do if—how louT will it take him to
calculuto the expense of repairing a breach in
the canal a half mile long by fifty feet wide."

Gen. Markle, and delivered ono of his impres
sive argumentative speeches which invariably
fixes the attention of the audience, and cshich
will be remembered in his favor on the second

Ron. Joiui Sraonn succeeded the-Governor
and mode 'an admirable speech. He spoke
fluently, correctly and to the point—saying »o
thing lnit what was proper and 'necessary.—
He was enthusiastically cheered in .the course
of his. address and left a very favorableim
pression upon his hearers. Amos Myers, Esq.,
of Clarion, followed and made an 'animated
and excitlient speech. •
In the evening a meeting Was held in the
large ware-rooms of Messrs. Chvode S Co.,
and that immense building was crowded to its
utmost capacity, embracing a large portion of
citizens, „ lnechanies and working men, who
had not . ttefided the meeting during the day.

lOWA.—An election in this State,. recently,
.fols.county judges, sheriffs, reborders, etc., has
resulted in ninny cases in en unexpected suc

the Lomifocos only saved a Portion 'of their
ticket by—resorting to a trick.- In -Jackson
county, heretofore one of the strongest and
most reliable Locofoco counties in the State,
the \Yhigs have elected every officer but one,
by majorities ranging from 210 to 32, actor- *
ding to the official statement. The counties of
Clayton, Mahnska, Louisa, Marion, Dallas,

"Tun ,FlLLtausTiEns."—Thia term la not
generally understood. The Adve'rtiser says,
"It was fotnilierly used in tho French acid o-,
:ther hinguages, as descriptive of n eines of ad
venturers of nil widens, who during the last
half of tie seventeenth century, infested t o
West India Islands and the coast of Central
America, for the purpose of piracy,' and who
were in English tnoro commonly termed Buc
caneers. The term was derived we believe
from the Spanish name of a light boat, a ves
sel therein common use in the West Indies."
120...5uch is the unanimous feeling in Leta
pima in favor of the invasion Of Cuba, that
Government exertions to prevent it are power
loss. The Federal officers deSert their poets
or shut their eyes to what is doing on. Their
removal, of course, will take place, but with
no avail. When steamers start for the expe
