WHIGi fiIEhEGATE ELECTIONs
Next .!. - 4atioday is the day appointed
for the election of delegates to the W hi
County - Convention, gild we hope tine
there are stilh , nough of the faithful an
true of the old Whig party in every town
ship in the county to send a respectable
delegation to the Convention. It is all
•
imporont that the Whig organization
should be maintained, and we hope there
fore that the most discreet ifnd practical
persons will be sent as delegates—men, of
enlarged views and patriotic spirit, who
can rise above mere factious considera
tions. The course of action to 'be adop
ted by the Convention will have a most
important bearing not only upon the pres
ent but the future. What that action
shall be, or whether it is expedient or
not to make nominations, we shall not
undertake to determine. We shall not
attempt to dictate, to others whom we
may presume are as well informed as our
self. ,We leave the question in the bands
of the infelligent whip of the county up
on whose judgment we can safely rely for
a wise course of action.
We hope the convention will be
strictly 11 h y Convention, and that the
adherc;nts of other organizations will seo
the propriety of retraining frdni any in
terfertince in the election of delegates.—
If there are but a dozen whigs in enc.)
township, .they and they alone have th
right to select their own representatives,
Any interference with them by member
of another party can only lead to collisio
and strife and we trust will be avoided

the same feeling„preVails elsewhere we
have ample evidence in our exchange pa
pers trom every county and every State.
The foreboding of evil with which quiet
citizens regarded the movement of Sena
torzn` Douglass in Congress, is now realized
and the mischievous consequences of
reckless agitation are upon us. The *out
rages in Kansas have stirred up the
depths of the popular heart and men ev
ery where feel that the great question
must be met—sternly met. Once the
south aelcnowlet , ed Slavery to - be ''an
evil"--Lan evil brought upon thorn with . -
(mt their MA agency and to which they
alone could apply the remedy. The con
servative North admitted the plea and u
nited to protect the South against the
reckless interference of hot-headed agita
tors. Eat—the.rntli has charged her po
sition and slavery is now zealously defen
ded its a rightful institution while its
propagation over free territory is boldly
urged. The outrages in Kansas are the
legitimate consequences of this monstrous
doctrine.
.I: , ainst the present course of the South
the North is hound to take a firm stand.
Tlw wanton violation of a sacred compact
in the repeal of the Missouri Compromise
—the ruthianly outrap‘s of the Missouri
desperadoes, in Kansas—cannot be tamely
submitted to. In relation to these mat
ters there is but one opinion among all
parties at the North. The indignation
of even truckling locofocoisin is roused
by the indignity which Gov, Reeder has
suffered, and it is only in such a county
as Cumberland where they feel that they
have "nothing to do with the slave'ques
tion." Other Counties hav'e spoken as
men and as freemen who Will not tamely
brook injustice and wrong. The age of
dough-faccisn► is past we hope.
FALL ELECTIONS

of them Legislatures and State <leers
are to be ehos'en, and in four of the Rep
resentatives to Congress Of the latter
class are Louisiana, 4r issippi, Georgia

NORTIIAMPTON.—The Democracy o
Northampton county, met on Monday, at
Easton with the intention of expressing
their approval of the Course pursued by
their fellow citizen, Gov. Reeder, in
Kansas, and their indignation at the treat
menthe had received from the Adminis
tration. Senator Broadhead attended,
and previous to the meeting prevailed on
the leading Democrats to abandon the
resolution condemning the President, and
on condition of their .agreeity: to this,
gave theni full permission to say whatev ,

er they pleased in the resolutions in cone:

DELA.WARE.'—in the :Whig Convention
of Delaware county last week a split took
place. A portion' of the Convention sec'e.;
ded and ,those who remained nominated, a
ticket ) with Joshua P. Eyre . for Assem-
Q 1 . n
KANSAS.
They are. carrying out the "popular
sovreigh ty'!• idea in Kansas in be4ntiful
s.tyle, ; truly ! 'The Missouri mob Le . gis
lature of that territory has just enacted a'
law containing thefollowing among other
provisions :
Section 12.—1 f any free person, by speaking
or by writing, assert or plantain that persons
have not the right to hold Slates to th'e Territory,
or shall introduce into Kansas, print, publish,
write circulate, or caused to be introduced in-
to the territory. written printed, published or
circulated in this territory, any book, paper,
magazine. pamphlet or circular containing the
denial of the right of persons to hold slaves in
this territory, such per Sops shall be deemed
guilty of felony, and punished by imprison
ment at hard. labor for a term not less than
two years.
Other provisions of the act make the
tampering with aeuroes so as.to entice
them away or stir them lip into rebellion,
punishable with death. The Legislature
has also passed an act admitting the Shaw
nee Indians to the rights of citizenship.
They are all slave holders. A correspon
dent of the St, Louis _ Republican says
that the sessio is drawing to a close, and
that the lATislature is (loin , : up its bus•
iness fast. A railway from Leavenworth
to Lecompton has been incorporated.—
The various acts of the legislature have
entirely distranchised the free State set . -
tlers ; one of these gives to the countv
courts the appointment of the election of
!jeers. The county courts arc all pro_
slavery. Another act all, A's :Inv man to
vote without regard to .resid e n c e, on the
payment of a dollar and the taking of
certain oaths. This admits all NI
or in fact people from alk where else.—
lint the various enactments respecting
slavery make felons of all the free State
men, and thus deprive .them of the rights
of citizenship: The oaths required of
them are to support, the Kansas bill and
enforce the fu , itive slave law which most
of them refused to do. Any than may
challenge,,a voter, and upon such .chal- -
lenge the voter may be required to take
these paths. Governor - Reeder has offi
cially notified the Legislature of his re
nioval, and that. the,Territorial Secretary,
Mr. Woodson, is Governor pro tem.
PnILADELyntA.—The Whigs of Phil
adelphia seems to be very much divided
as to the, course proper to be pursued ibis
fall. They have so many different kinds
of conventions that it is difficult to tell
in which the old Whig party is to be
found. One of tbese conventions styling
itself the "regular Whig City Conven
tion," met on Thus'-day of last week.—
After .sonic discussion, they adopted a
series of resolutions, denouncing "all se
cret political associations;" in favor of
"Americanizing the National govern
ment, and restricting the naturalization
of'foreigners;" urging the duty of, gov
ernment to give us a protective tariff;
denouncing the Kansas Nebraska bill,
and asking for the restoration of the Mis
souri Compromise, and repudiating all
the "so-called efforts to reorganize the
Whig party." The convention adjourn.
ed without making any nomination. it
is thought that the members of it will
support an anti-Nebraska movement.
.OEY-The Republican State Convention,
ealte - d to assemble at Pittsburg on the
sth of Septembe'r, promises to be well
attended—if we may judge from the ar
ray of di r stinguisbed speakers expected to
be present. The Dispuid says that
Messrs'. Chase; Wade. and . Cliddings, of
Ohio, Wilson, 'of Massachusetts, and
Wilmot' of our State, have all sent.let
ters accepting; the invitation to be pres
ent. Messrs Sumner and Rale it•is also
hoped, will respond favorably; and; .111r.'
Seward is also invited. The art•ay of
great advocates of freedom is sufficiently
attractive to bring an immense gathering
from all parts of the State.
Dn. BE/um—The Judgement of the Suprme
Coat of this state, in the case of Dr. ' Beale,
the Philadelphia Dentist, raCdelivered a few
days ago by Chief justie4 Lewis. The Court
refused to grant the motion for a new trial,
but reversed the sentence on the ground of
Pom o informality, and directed the Court be
low to sentence hini anew. The Court was
unanimous in this opinion, with one exeption,
(Judge Black,) who favored a new trial.

arrest we mentioned last week was tried and
found guilty yesterday.
A WARM CoNTF,sT.--The American
party of this county have been in a flurry of
excitement for a feW days past in reference to
the formation of their ticket. The contest
waxes warm between the candidates, espe
cially for the Sheriff's and Treasurer's offices.
A good deal of murmuring is heard, and al
though the American secret caucus mode of
selecting candidates by ballot jai:toasted as the.
most Democratic mode, a good many now think
that as much juggling anti wire-working can be
practised in that way as under the old l ilelegate
system. The delegates meet to complete the
nominations to-day.
LocoFoca DEmoNsinATioN.—A loco-
foco county meeting was held in the Court
House on Monday evening. Col. A. 0. Ege
made the Trine ipal speech of the evening.—
The Col. is accurtomed to speaking to Mary
land audiences and hence the general tenor
of his speech was strongly pro-slavery. Ile
forgot probably that the convention of the
we.•k before had resolved that the Locos of
uniberland county had " nothing to do with
the Slave quetion."

yesterday morning, on motion of A. B. Sharp,
Esq., Clement B. Penrose and Jacob U. Wun
derlich, Esqrs., were admitted to practice in
the several courts of this county.

THE NE W.LIQUOR LAW.
Ma. EDITOR :—A resolution of the recent
convention of the democratic party, of Duni
berland county, is calculated to make a very
erroneous impression upon the minds of our
citizens with regard to the nature of the law
which passed last winter on the subject . of li
ceases.
The resolution assumes that, :the law was
passed in (Mregard of the expresse(L will of
the people. In the advocacy of principles
whether by parties or individuals, it will be
found that a candid adherenced to truth will
best promote the object in view. It will be
remetnbcred, that the question presented to
the people at the last' election was, are you in•
favor of prohibition or against prohibition ? and
the'decision of the voters was, as we think
rightly, against prohibition. For wo aro not
of those who would undertake to control abso:
cutely the business or the appetites of men by
law. • Wi'obibition,' as the term is pow well
understood, means, that it shall
_be unlawful
to manufacture or to buy, sell or otherwise
deal in ardent spirits ; and for the • infraction
of that law there are odious remedies and pun
ishments annexed,
Now the law passed last winter has no such
character at all. There is not a word in ,it to
prohibit the manufacturingc - the buying, the
selling or, if yetfplease, 'the' drinking' of ar
dent spirits; but its
.whohzi; object, meaning
and design is to break up 4ie- bar-room—that
place which the law of 'the - Commonwealth'
heretofore has set up and iintintainecl for the,
purpose that boys and then may learn to drink!
and become vagabonds. drunkards' and erittil
„l
nets.
If the voters of tide eounty,.pr of any other
county of this State, will but look at this sub•
joot dispassionately and act understandingly
we feel greSt confidence that•there Is not one
in ten, who will not,glve his hearty sanction to
the law as it nem all., ov'enta until he
shall have trled it and found its ill effects.—
If a farmer's son visits our town or the viein-
ity of a country tavern, and but waters his
horse, by the custom of the country. and the
habits of the people,- having their origin in
the present license systCM, ho is doomed a
