STAND BY YOUR GUNS 1
The Whigs have a ticket of which they
may well be proud, and the success of
which they should use every effort to pro
mote. Candid men of all parties admit
that it is unexceptionable and merits the
support of all honest voters. Against the
men who compose the ticket nothing can
he said. They are without an exception
men of worth and integrity—men who
have ever occupied prominent positions
in society, and who have always con man
ded the respect, esteem and confidence of
of their neighbors and friends. In ad
dition to their moral and intellectual tvorth
they are also men of enlarged experience
and business qualifications. The various
candidates are peculiarly qualified to
, fill
with honor to themselves and • credit to
the county, the respective offices to which
they have been nominated. Let every
Whig, then, be active in the support of
his ticket. Whether successful or not
we shall have the satisfaction which fel
lows the faithful support of right princi
ple, and a good cause. Stand to your
guns I Whigs!.
THE OLD LINE.
The old line Whigs have nominated
tickets in Lancaster, Dauphin, Delaware,
Schuylkill, Franklin, Brie, Luzerne,
Montgomery, Northnmberland, Washing
ton, Huntington and Blair counties. In
York, Adams and - Perry they have made
no nominations. In Lebanon, Chester,
Bucks, Berks and several other counties,
Where the Americans were liberal enough
to enter into open delegate elections, the
Whigs are acting with .them.
AMERICAN NOMINATION.--Peter Mar
tin, of Lancaster county, having received
the highest number of votes, is declared
to be the nominee of the American party
for Canal Commissioner.
THE LIQUOR LAW.
Wo publish in to-day's paper a synop
sis of the several Liquor Laws enacted
in Pennsylvania by the last two Legisla
tures, and invite the attention of voter's
especially to the provisions of the law
passed last winter, which has been stig
matized as the "jug law. " The main
feature of this IaWL-the abolition of bar
rooms for the retail traffic in liquors—
was suggested by Judge Watts of this
borough and we understand that since his
nomination for the assembly strong efforts
arc making to rally against him the op
ponents of Prohibition. We allude to
the subject for the purpose of, correcting
misrepresentations and to deny that
Judge Watts is identified with the ultra
Prohibitionists or Maine Law advocates.
Judge Watts is not in favor of the
Maine Liquor Lou' or any prohibitory
law. On tho contrary he is most decid
edly opposed to the scheme of Prohibi
tion. In common with leading men of
the country, however he has devoted
much thought to the subject of Intern-'
perenee, the deplorable and wide-spread
evils, of which every good man must desire
to check. But Judge Watts does not be
lieve in. the efficacy of ultra Prohibition
to cure the evil. The Bar=room—the
popular 'practice of congregating at pub
lic houses where intoxicating liquors are
dealt out in small quantities, he regards as
the great prime cause of Inteaiperance.
It is in the bar-room, the restaurant, the
brilliant drinking saloon, with its seduc
tive influences, where our young men are
taught to drink, and where the habit is
perpetuated in men °folder growth. With
this view he last winter framed a brief
law for the abolition °fall places wherein
liquor is sold and drank, , This law
was placed in the hands' .of - Mr, Cumm
ings, Representative from Philadelphia,
by whom it was introduced in the House.
It met with favor and was finally passed
by the combined votes of Whigs, Demo
crats and Americans. We may also add
that the first three sections of the law are
all that Judge Watts had any connection
with. The other sections were drawn up
by a democratic Senator from Philadel
phia.
This law, as every one will distinctly
see who reads it, IS NOT A PROHIBITORY
LAW-it has none of the odious features
of the Maine Law. We know the people
of Cumberland county have declared their
opposition to prohibition. But this law
attempts no prohibition of the manufae-,
lure or sale of liquors. It simply abol
isheathe bar-rooms where liquor is sold
by the small and drank. That tavern
keepers should oppose this law is not sur-,
prising.. But there is no reason why the
Farmers, or Manufacturers of. liquors
should array themselves against the Law.
It will not affect the Farmers interests in
.
anyway for it does not touch the manu
facture of liquor. Under this law the
manufacture of spirits will go on as usu
al. The sale by large quantities is not
interfered with. No man will lose his
rights or his-liberties under this law. It
does not break up our public houses which
are really necessary for the entertainment
of strangers and travelers—it only abol
ishes the bar-room. Those who can use
liquors without running into excess will
not have their habits or privielges inter
fered with in any degree.
This law •is recklessly denounced by
party,leaders who misrepresent its charac
ter, but good citizens Who are interested
for the public welfare should carefully ex
amine its provisions and if they approve
should determine to stand by the law un
til it has at least had a trial.
As for Judge Watts his public spirit
and devotion to the general welfare is
well known. His action in ,tbis matter
sprung from the highest and noblest mo
tives, and ho shrinks from no responsi
bility.,
A meeting of the now Whig State
Central Committee is called to take place
at Coverly's Hotel . ,in Ilarrihurg, on
Thursday evening next.

WIIIG STATE CONVENTION
The proceedings of the Whig Sta
Convention at Harrisburgdastweek, say
the Lebanon Courier, were Characteriz
we think, by wisdom and a patr;otie e
ssre for the success of principles.
platform laid down is such that no true
Pennsylvanian can take exception to it,'
while its liberality in expreSsing a wil
lingness to unite with all others hostile
to the preSent corrupt National Adminis
tration; precisely meets the views ex
pressed and the policy adopted by the
Whigs and Americans of Lebanon coun
ty ; and is the policy that must prevail
if we expect and desire success. The
folly of bickering and quarreling over
matters of little or no importance was
never more manifest than at the present
time and we are glad to see that the
Whig State Convention saw this folly and
was anxious to lay the foundation of a
movement to avoid it. We trust that all
other organizafons may be equally wise
and liberal, so that all of us that have a
compion object in view may march shoul
der to shoulder for its consummation.
PA SSMOIIE WILLIAMSON ' S PARTY.-
The Pittsburg Gazette, a warm advocate
of the nomination of Passmore 'William
son for Canal Commissioner, gives a list
of twenty papers which fly the same,fiag
in the present canvass. These papers are
mostly published in the strong Free Soil
sect ions,such as the counties of Alleghe
ny, Beaver, Butler, Mercer, Lawrence',
Potter, Bradford, Tioga, Susquehanna
and Crawford. The West is in fact all
on fire against Slavery extension, and
in some counties the Republican has er.-
rely absorbed the American and Wliig
MEM
JUDGE KANE.—This individual, who
is holding Passmore Williamson in prison
for contempt, is the same man who in
1844 was instrumental in getting up the
Kane letter swindle which represented
Jas. K, Polk as a better tariff man than
Henry Clay. That was one of the causes
of Clay's defeat, and secured Kane a
Prominent place in the Locofoco ranks,
and resulted in placing him on the bench.
THE STRICKEN CITIES.—The yellow
fever still rages at ..Norfolk and Ports
mouth, with almost unabated violence.—
In Norfolk on Thursday last there were
40 deaths, on Friday 38, and on Saturday
morning there were orders for 30 coffins.
In Portsmouth.on Thursday 22 deaths,
on Friday 25 and on Saturday 30. This
terrible mortality is truly calculated to
appal the stoutest heart.
SEW' The "West Chester Republican, a
Democratic paper, don't like the practice
of swearing Delegates and candidates for
office, as adopted by its party generally`.
It says it has found those who have the
least hesitancy to take extra-judicial
oaths, the most ready to disregard their
word.
JOSEPH HENDEasoN.—The Reading
Journal, an American paper, expresses
the hope to see 'Air. Henderson's nomi
nation for Canal Commissioner endorsed
by the Americas} organization, and frank
ly admits that a refusal to do, so will be a
virtual relinquishment of all hopes of

THE STATE Fate.—Everybody ap
pears to be going to the State Fair at Harris
burg. Extra trains, at reduced fare, coin
menced running yesterday, the cars crowded
to overflowing with passengers.
Cnuncll DEnicATioN.----The German
Reformed Church of this borough, which
during the last summer has been greatly en
larged .and improved in appearance, was re-
opened for Divine service on Sunday last,-with
appropriate services. Eloquent and impressive
discourses were delivered by the Rev. Dr.
Schaf,• of Mercersburg, in the morning, mid
in the afternoon by Rev. B. S. Shneck, of
Chambersburg. Dr. Schaf preached again in
the evening. The occasion awakened the
deepest interest in our community and during
each service the church was crowded to its
utmost capacity.
Thb new church edifice, though not of the
largest class, is truly elegant and imposing in
.appearance. The style is Gothic throughout,
The front is a beautiful dark brown stone imi-
tation, and the graceful spire with its tasteful
decorations, is 130 feet high. The windows
in front are glazed with stained glass of various
colors, imparting a - rich effect. The interior
is beautifully finished, the walls and ceiling
being painted in fresco, of subdued color but
appropriate in design and most skilfully exe
cuted. The finish of the pulpit and general
furnishing of the interior aro in corresponding
good taste. The gallery, which covers the
vestibule, is set apart for the choir, and con
tains a small but finely-toned organ. The
church will be heated with furnaces and light
ed with gas, chandeliers and gas burners
being fixed at various points, awaiting the in•
troduotion of gas, which will take place during
the winter. The whole interior of the church
is finished in the highest style of elegance,
and vies in beauty with the more costly struo
tures of the cities.
We congratulate the members of the congre
gation upon the completion of this beautiful edi
fice,which is truly one of the most striking orna
ments of our town. The several contractors
also—Messrs. Natcher & Black, Builders and
Carpenters; Mr. Sidling of Reading, who
executed the fresco painting, and Mr. Rosen
steel, of Carlisle, who did the other painting,
are entitled to special mention for the skill
and taste whioh they have t4hown in the exe
cution of thtir work.

DEMOCRATIC COUNTY CONVENTION.—
The Democratic County Convention reassem•
bled yesterday in this borough to fill the va
cancy in their ticket caused by the death of
William Gleim, their candidate for County
Commissioner, who died at his residence in
South Middleton township on Wednesday last.
We learn that twenty three members of the
Convention were present, who after some dis
cussion resolved that it was inexpedient to nom-
Junto any new man for that office. The vote
it ie said stood 16 to 7. We know nothing of
their reasons for this unless they thought
they could not put a name before the people
of the County more acceptable than that of
Col. Wit.t.tnat M. HENnonsoN, the Whig can
didate for Commissioner, than whom there is
not a oitigen of the county more thoroughly
qualified for the duties.
