For the many marks of friendship - 040m steady . patronage extended to us in our residence in 'this county, our heart: 4417 n thanks are sincerely tendered. It wiltbe our continued aim to Merit, as ct is , ephall need, an increased degree of their friend ship and patronage. In this we trust not, -03 be disiippointed. As a begirming;. fet, each of, our present patrons endeavonito send us an additional name for our list.'"r' TRIO QUARTO FORM. Our readers will probably at first sight be struck with the diminutive appearance of the Herald in its new form. But be - - fore casting it aside as insignificant let them open - it out in full and they will find that' instead of its being smaller it is in every way considerably larger than it was. Before it had but tweitty-eight col umds-'—now it has forty and 'these very little ShOrter than the former length.-- We 14.0. enlarged it to the entire .capaci tiof our.power press. .The quarto form has been:.,adopted because in the nivel' of newspaper imprOvetnent that . form seems to have become a favorite. The quarto form h_ number of advantages. It brings - the sheet into a convenient size for reading and is better fitted for bind ing purposes. We have, adopted it a's an experiment and if it does not prove satisfactory 'tO our readers and - ourself, the old for& can be resumed. 'Meantime let it ha.v_e_n.lait irk& Stir Our paper is" behind , time consid erably this,week owidg - to a vexatious de lay in the•arrival of many of our now ma- Orials from the type foundry in Philade! *a.

The,C6urse of the Convention is severely ) denounced by the Whig papers, the Re- J publican. and Advocate of Northuinberlaud of Mon tgonlcry Mott, the locofoco condidate for Canal Commissioner, in a letter in reply to one from Mr.Bonintm, ehairdian of the dem= (Trade State Committee, says :—" /am not connected with a secret association or ganized for pOlitical petiln)Ses, contnandy, 'called Kno-.Arothing.s." This is 'deemed satisfactory to the leaders of that party, .who denounce the Know Nothings, but elect its members to office! I.CIAOLNARY OR EXACIGERATFD 01. F r Volunteer has a piece of news, which it tells with most righteous indignation and wrath, concerning an outrage, committed by Carlisle Know Nothings on a German whom they found lurking - Aoict,,,their place of meeting and whom they did, not let off without some cuffing and rough usage, by way of admo nitiOn, we suppose, not to attempt being so much of a know something again. The whole story, as Lid in the Volunteer, is news to us, and 'intast be very much ex aggerated if not entirely imaginary.' If true, it is a reversal of the usual practice —such outrages being more ehaiacteris tie of the course of adopted citizens .(es pecially Irish) towards Ameileans. But we hope it is not true, as violence of this ,chariwter can meet no sanction from the, public. ChUrch burning—individual per secution. and the like which we have heard. of lately in other places, can only be regarded with regret and abhorrence by eyery [poi JUDGE POLLOCK ON THE STUMP. We are glad to learn that Judge Por, Y.-Imi, the Whig candidate for Governor, has recovered from his recent severe ill neSs, and that he will take the stump in a very short time, commencing in the western portion of the State. He intends to devote his whole energies to the can vass and will speak in a majority oOlie counties et . the State if his health will allow of it., This is right and'ehecring to his friends. While the Judge has been lying ill, the locofoco press over the State has been lamdooning him for not accepting what they call" Bigler's Challenge !"--no such challenge however having been given. Fortunately he has now so far recovered as, to be able to take the stump, to the terror of his enemies. Judge Pollock can take the plume from any man in the State as a " stump speaker," . and will make friends of opponents wherever he goes. We shall hear, no more crowing from the lolofoco presses when he , gbts before the people. • EASILY SATISFIED. The Volunteer says it is satisfied with Henry S. ,Mott's letter denying that he is a Know Nothing. So also we suppose the' Volunteer is satisfied with the letters of Moser, Chestnut, Graham and Noell, which it paraded so prominently before is readers last week, denying their mem: bership in what it styles that "infamous" order. The ViAotteer is probably aiso, satisfied with Messrs. Gregg, Lytle and other candidates on the ticket who don't answer at all I . Now there is a trick in this business which the Whigs owe-it to themselves to briag to liffit. Our opponents while abu sing Know. NOthingisln so lustily are yet supporting as Candidates men, who if every report does not belie them, are in full and high membership .in this myste rious order against which the Volunteer rants and raves so desperately every weak. The Vaunt:Tr makes war to the knife a gainst Know Nothingism, and yet is sat isfled with such flimsy letters as that writ ten by Noel', andis equally satisfied with Gregg and Lytle who don't answer at all!• SMOKED OUT. WHAT'S 1311,EIVING I • We see by the last Volunteer that the D3MOC: atic County Committee is salmi= mimed to a speCi . al meeting on Satur'day the 16th. Suimises are busy as to the object ofthis special conclave. 'What's broke loose, or whether . some Mere effec tive measures aro to be taketti- respecting Vie -Know Nothing noininees on the . coun t 1 ticket, are matters of conjecture: (Carlisle - trralb: PERRY ON .""MERE FORMALITY."" We publishei al'article laFt . w . cerefrom the Bloon.fild Advocate, in which it was pretty clearly intimated that little. Perry's spunk was roused and that knowing her rights she intended this fall to make an emphatic demonstration' of her inten tion to maintain them. An arrogant democragc paper of York having ,/ inso lontly Tetnarkotl- that the mooting-of Con ferees to nominate Bonham was a "mere formality" in which it was a matter of en tire indifference whether Perry was rep resented or not, the Advocate shoWs its opinion of the "formality" in the follow ing article : TILE "FORMALITY." The proceedings of the Convention indicate that everything passed oft' in the most harmo nititts style. 'lt is published that Mr Bonham received the unanimous support of the Con; vention, but a delegate informs us that ho did dis-ient, and it is proper that he should bo pieced right•upon the record. _Messrs Jesse Bettye and . Wm. Louther were both suggested as Conferees, and they declined the honor (if it is worthy of the name,) of going through the mere "formality" of placing Mr. Bonham be fore the people We shduld like to see seine recital of his claims to the nomination, and why it was that some voice was not, raised for poor Petry.caanty in the Convention. She is doomed to 'dangle as the tail of Cumberland and York, and whatever they agree to she, must carry out. A few years agoldr. Bonham emigrated from Now Jersey to Carlisle as a law student. Ile located in Cirlislo, and his first • political es• ploit was the organization of an anti-tax party in opposition• to the democratic patty._. The object of this new-tangled scheme was to re pudiato the State debt and dishonor Pennsyl vania. What didAtr. Bonham care for the honor of Pennsylitinia? . Ile was just fresh from New:Jersey, where he Rasa loud mouthed whig, ns one of his intimate associartes pro claimed at the Warm Springs last summer. 1019 knew Mr. Bonham and his political prin ciples in that State. Ile has become a won derful democrat, and that State debt, against the payment of w high he was willing to plead the statute of limitations, has been. increased by his efforts • in and out of the Legislature, by refusingfirmanntion any plan for its sreedy reduction and payment. We call upon Mr. - Bonham to make his record clean, and show us that he hai repented before he asks our suffrages, or he can't receive them. Will `he be kind enough to inform the peo• pie of the district what services ho rendered for the $5OO, which he drew from the State Treasury for . revising the tax laws, and at tempting. to fore° on the' people a system for the collection of taxes — that was more, oppres sive than the decrees of the Czar? We take no linan.on probation. We want n democrat in whom there is •no guile, and Who knows and cares for the interests and honor of Pennsvivania.

Bigler's speech, at Mon trose, on Tuesday last. It says :—"Wre believe that if his election depended on the vote of those' present, he would be defeated by alit+ majority. There was nothing like 'enthusiasm pervading the mass of his 4 11earers, and the occasional hand-clappi, gt,3 were chiefly performed by such out . and out Nebraska men as, accor= ding to the editor of the Montour Demo crat, disagree with the . Governor in opin loft._ _ So_for_fis_. _Safi sfying __the_ a n6_ Ne.-._ braska men was , cenceAned, the speech' was a' decided failure." - '"\.'' The Reg4ter states further, that when the Governor had concluded, there were cal].' for Wilmot and Grow, whereupon the Governor suggested - to the President an adjournment of the meeting, and that in obedience to that request the Presi dent adjourned the mecting, , ,although a majority voted in the negative. A CQUrrnm.—Maria Daily, the Irish woman who was committed to prison at Norristown, last Nay, for the murder of her, infant child, by cutting its head completely from the body, was tried, befole ;the Montgomery County Court last week, and acquitted on the ground that she was insane at the time: thismost un natural crime was committed, and is still sane.

This building be- - longs to the people of Carlisle, and we, as a tax-payer, protest against its use for any such unholy and villainous 1 imposes ?, Are our Directors all Know-Nothings, that they grant the use (free of charge, it is said,) of- Educa) Lion Hall to a set of men who skulk through alleys /Over fences, rind through stables to at tend alleys,/Over Tuesday, night meetings? No man who is not of the order, is safe to pass that Hall on a Tuesday night, for he is almost sure to be insulted or stoned. We therefore ask our School Directors to abate this nuis ance and if they fail to do it the tax-payers of the town, who own the, property, will abate it themselves. They have no notion that a set of men, some of them strolling strangers and gamblers, and but few of them tax pay ers, shall take possession of one of the pub lic buildings; to hold their traitorous meet ings. Let the Know-Nothings meet in Dick inson College, or any other- place, but let not old Education Hall be . longer polluted by their meetings." It is not our province to speak in de fence of the Order of Know Nothings or of the Board of School Directors who are thus vindictively assailed. The Vol unteer's fling at the Board, whether it was actuated by' general malevolehce or privatetnirnosity, will probably be met by our neighbor Cornman, of the Demo crat,' who is a School Director, and who is capable of defending his worthy asso-, eiates.. We do, however, intend to repro bate this aqempt on the - Pare of the - Thl macer to incite to mob violence. It is the first time in the history of our town that men in the peaceful .and quiet pur suit of their own opinions have • been de nounced as worthy subjects of mob vio lence and that an effort• has been made to disgrace our community and endanger the lives"and, property of our citizens by in flammatory appeals to the worst pat34ions of men.
