The Herold for the Campaign
We will furnidi the Herald, to clubs, or in
dividual oubscribers, from the lstof July until
after the Presidential election, for 50 cents
copy. Semi 4myour names in advance of the
date, the present politicaPctimpnign involves
impartaid issues., and it is the duty of our
friends to aid us in the dissemination of doer
trines which all admit, are oloscly interwoven
with our prosperity and well-beingas anation.
Again wq sny—Sond in your names.
• The HERALD of lest weekirnmediately
under its editorial head—contained adifedike
likeness of dtrs candidate for Presidt!in d . Mr:
Lincoln, it seems, always carries his trunk
with him, and also wears boots.—Vol u nteer.
Exact so,...neighbor. 'His trunk• is ready
•packed for Washington ; and hiS 'boots are .
copper toed, so that Democrats who are lazy
to move on the 4th of March next ; will have
to look out for their latter end.
EM :=
The'Lincoln C•ub, of Csrlisle, is now per
manently organized:fer the campaign, by the
adoption of fules, the election of officers; and
securing a ...Wigwam" for tho regular-meet
ings of the cleb, which ore held every Satur
day evening. arrangements are also in pro-•
gross, to secure a supply oof newspapers and
documents for the accommodation of visitors,
as well as members of the Club.
It is also suggested, that our friends in the
different townships throughout' the County,
should get up similar clubs as nuxilliary to
the club in Carlisle, and in this way - secure a
thorough orgimicution of the party. It Must
be evident to every one, that it will require
constunt, energetic work, to carry this county
at the next election. Although.welkavc gained
partial success in this county heretofore, we
him no cause to indulge in the game of
.bray' Those against whom wo contend, are
as active in'their efforts, as they aro unscru
pulous in their moans, and a triumph on our
part,,can only be achieved by commencing tho
political campaign early, and conducting it
with vigor. If the principles and policy of
the People's Forty, are properly disseminated
we must succeed in the end, Our platform
contemplates the perpetuity of th'e Union in—
greatness, and power, and the prosperity of
our people in enlightened liberty and social
ndvancement. In the groat hurtles now before
the country, no state has a deeper interest_
titan the Old Keystone. For years, the Dem
ocratic party ilO3 hung upon her attic s iiko
en incebus, clogging her progress, obstruct
ing the development of her resources, and de
nying 'protection to her workingmen; and it
is time that her none should rouse up to their
true interests, and by united action, achieve
a victory in Pennsylvania that will be as last
ing as it will be beneficial.
Now is the time for action! Read and cir
culate the documents. Form Lincoln Clubs
in every section of the county, and lot every
man consider himself enlisted for the cam
paign. •
TO 81 PROSPECT.
So far, we have every.reasen to be 'Satisfied
-with the ..entltuaiasm- nth - which' the people "
have entered ea the campaign; they never
evinced more determination to carry their pur
pose than at present, and consequently,. our
protipeetts for electing LINCOLN, Itsmust and
, ..
CURTIN, are of the most cheering character.
The democrats are shorn of their strength;
the corruptions exhumed by the Covodo in
tostlgating committee, aro of such a nature;
so clear' in proof, and so damning in guilt,
that they dare not ge into the 'election on
their record; and if the people are true to •
themselves, democracy will.be as surely wiped
out in 1860, as it was in 1840. The tenoning
calculation from the New York Tribune, is en
titled to considerable weight. '
' From every section and through every dm-
reel, we have rheering advities with regard to '
the. Presidential canvass. Men of .-widely-dl
verstrtraditio.,s, prepossessions, and'sympa- '
thks, concur u the assurance that the right'
chord has been touched, . a substantial union
of the Opposition secured, by the nomination.: :
of LINCOLN rind liastmr. In no State - that,-
Tided for Fremont and Dayton is there a se
rious doubt ,f a Republican triumph In l' , lo- '
',amber. Thae give us 114 Electoral Votes,'
to which—li•tosas being most unrighteously
kept out—blainesota (a new State) will oer- '
tainly add 4, making 118. We shall need 84

these we• shall hale to look to the following

agency of the administration in the premi
ses—its' hatred : and hostility to Douglas,
and its attempt to:dictate, it wds said that
the error's and disorder underwhich the partyis
now - lanoring, originate in this fatal mistake;
in the view of the speaker,, if we followed,
the random range_of the narrative correctly,
'there would. have been smiling peace and
concord; good will, and loving kindness nt
Charleston,. had it not been for the sedbetion
of Gov. Bigler from his integrity, by a [reach•
cross old.line Whig of Philadelphia; and
that both the sC.ducer and his victim stood
by in the hatching»t the treason, and offer.
ed congratulation rather than rebuke. From
all this disse:itt as unjust and cruel to the
deluded men, who on many trying occasions
have come forward to the rescue of the party
in its sinking fortunes.
That deserters .arn., slippery fellows, and
need to be wetched, we all 'know, but we are
very sure their capacity for so much michief
isoverated. True, indeed, there are living ex•
itmples of • apostates, at present occupying
high places in' iTie;. Democratic rfiiths, oh
whom the: expiring throes of the Party may
be justly charged ; but if we coniprriliended
the'denunciatibtt . of the speaker, the de.ser
ters to whom he referred, were ncithdfitliii
President of the Convention nor the Pro: Neat.
of the United States. WO do not-gainsay
the fact, dint'. among the many thousamis"
who have been lad astray, there may, now
and then, be (band a wandering and danger
cMs traitor, as in the case referred to—we
object to it that it does not warrant the con-
elusion. But whatever may be puid of the
speaker's logic, it is better than' his reckon.
ing. Votes nre essential to the successful
duration:of all parties—the Democratic ns
well as the - Republican and American—
votes withdrawn from one and given to the
other,coupt twice—loss on one side and gain
on, the other. Such is our arithmetic, and
but for 'its operation on an extensive scale,
in the year 1866, Democracy, in he modern
aspect, would not now have •
on any spot northr of the Potomac. Therc;
is a sense, however, in which the, intermix•
,lure ofwhig with Democrat is prejudicial,
'and possibly that is the sense in which the
silealter meant to be understood ; thnt is,
when it enlergeS.the' circle round which, the
Spoils are to be distributed.
, Squatter sovereignty, in itself, is. no! ,the
bugbear many persons would have us believe.
Undisturbed. in its operations we feel assur
ed it would give freedom, to the territories
Fettered as it is attempted to the dec.
'oration of the Judges of the Supreme Court
it i; nothing more, nothing less, than Negro
sovereignty, controlled by southern masters.
So' regarding it and seeing that Mr. Douglas
is willing to take it thus trammeled, we are
at. a loss to divine what it is that keeps the
,democracy of the North and South apart,
unless it be for the reason giien in a late
speech of Senator Benjatain—want of conic•
Bence. The objection is to the man ; and
this, we think, will be fatal to hie nomina-
tion, and fatal to the hopes of our too-hasty
democratic frienda.
The private letter written by Horace Gree
ly to Gov. Seward in 1854, of which so much
has been said, is published itia late number
of the Tribune. It merely, discloses the fact,
that Mr. Grecly had worked for Gov. Seward
and the party, and was afterwards neglected,
when he thought his services merited.rewartio•
Mr. Greely. is not the only editor who having
held the ladder for others to mount into office,
has been well kicked for his pains; nor will he
be the last. In the _editorial. rdixiarks-which
accompany the letter referred to, Mr. Greely
"If over in. my life I discharged a public
duty in utter disregard of personal consider.
ation, I did so at Chicago last month. I was
no longer a devotee of Gov. Seward; but.l.
was equally independent of ell others; °writ'
I had been swayed.by feeling alone, I Should
have, for many reasows,,pleferred him to auy
of life competitors. '"Octr'poltional intercourse,
as well Since as before my' latter herewith pub.
Balled, had always been frank and kindly, and
I wee never insensible to his many good and.
some great qualities, both of head and heart.
But I.' did not and do not believe it advisable
that'll° should be the Republican candidate
for President; and I acted in full accordance
with. my deliberate 'convictions. • Need I add
that eaoh subsequent day's developments have
tended to strengthen myconfidence that whet
I did was not, only well meant. but well done?

The Senate took up the Tariff Bill, on the
15th inst., and by a vote of 25 to 23 postpaird
,the consideration of it until December next.
Mr. Bigler and Mr:Latham, being the only
democrats who voted 'against the motion:
Mr. hunter favored the postponement un
der the plea, that no financial necessity exis
ted for any change in - the revenue system.
Mr. Bigler opposed the motion to postpone.
"He disputed the correctness of the data
assumed by Mr. Hunter, rib°, hetlionght,bad
shown no little .dexterity in 'seeking to,turn
GM attention of the Senate from - the public ex
penditures as they are, by adverting to
tariff it was expected they would be when the tariff
of 1856 was passed. During the last_ three
fiscal years the expenditures had constantly
exceeded the income of the Government, and
the real , question before the Senate was not
simply whether.the tariff bill should be post
poned, but whether it was better to revise our
revenue system or to run still further in debt."
As a matter of (nutria, the demorratio Sena
tors decided that it was better to run in debt,
than pass a bill that would he likely to confer
a benefit on • .Pen? , sylvitnia ; and therefore,
with these'two exceptions, they voted in favor
of postponement; and vihile we chronicle the
vote of Mr. Bigler, .as having been thrown
ones, on the side of justice to the industrial in
terests of Fenintylvania, we honestly believe
that his vote was a mere sham, to make capi
tal for Foster's election ; well knowing, when
he voted, that the hill would fail; wohave the
best evidence of this, in the previous opposi r
I Hon of the damocretio party to protection,
from the destruction of the tariff of 1842, to
the, present time. The motto of "Polk, Dallas
and the Tariff of 1842," was a base political
fraud, by the democratic party, on the people
ofPennsylvania ; and .their poliqeal record
ever since; discloses a steady hostility to any
measure of protection to the working men of
Pennsylvania, and warrant us in saying that
their advocacy 'of a tariff now, is. mere pre
tence to assist in carrying their candidate at
the next election ; and when the proper time
comes they will vote flat agninstit. What a
beautiful commentary on the tariff resolutions
of the Reading Slate Convention I. Let the
people of Peunsytaniafix the responsibility
where it belongs, anaold these political dem
ogogues to a strict 'accountability for their
trickery and deception
The Political Fraud■ 0f.4411/513,
• The vote of Pennsylvania, in favor of Mr.
-Buchanan for the Presidency in 1856, is_tt
beautiful comninetaiy on tlfe'text for so many
political speeches-Lae purili of the ballot
box. The ‘Veshington
.correspondent of the
Philtidelphia North American under the date
of the 18th inst., says :
The Coved° Committee • have in' their pos
session over two hundred of the naturalization
papers which were manufactured in Walnut
street for the Presidential election in 1856,
and by means of 'which, and'cortain " side
1 door" operationsi the State was carried for
Mr. Buchanan:; Over six thousand of them
were issuedi'and, as is now proven, partly by
federal office holders. Some,wera distributed
under the franks of democratic members of
Congres9, who claim to be ignerant of this
flagrant'abuse of their Privilege..• 'They were
circulated largely in .Philadelphia, but per.
aline were hired to procure mimes .to fill lip
the banks. The committee had not , time to
pursue this, inquiry as thoroughly as it de
serves, .but: enough .is revealed •to satisfy
every impartial mind that Pennsylvania was
secured to the democracy, .four years 'ego,
and the :Presidential question lleeided by
the most daring frauds and corruption. Ac
cording to Plitt s testimony, he paid out .over'
$70,000 upon Mr. Forney'w order,' aa' Chef!.
man of the committee, during the 'citevais.'
As the vouchers' were destroyed, the' public
may never know how the money Wee expend : .

DUEL NEAR BALTIMORE.—On Thursday
vening two aged gentlemen from.NeW York,
' exchanged shots at Marshy Point, by which
one of them was wounded in the shoulder.—
The parties were Mr. Thomas Bryan, aged
betweeFt sixty and seventy, and Mr. Samuel •
Neale, who was a few years younger. The
'aged mar were induced to subject themselves •
to the trouble and expense of journeying
from NeW York to Baltimore, to adjust •a- "
difficulty, which grew out of a, disctission
between the piirties at the Union Club, re
specting the nationality of Garibaldi. A
diftierenco of opinion lend to inteinperate
words, and then a blow from. Mr. Neale, and
a challenge from Mr. Bryan. The weapons
were pistols, and upon . the first fire Mr. Nenlo
was hit in the left shoulder, receivinge pain
ful but not dangerous wound—the ball pen-'
etrating 'only the fleshy part of the arm. .Mr._ •
Bryan was attended on the ground by 'Mr.
Meredith, of Philadelphia, and Mr. Neale by
Mr. George Bowdon, of Now Xork. The en
tire party, we understand, left for home yes
terday—fdr.Neale's wound not incapacitating
him from trowelling.
We think the narties could have beho much
better etaployettby remaining at home dining
the'hot weather, and rocking the 'cradles .of
their grand children, instead of such a ridicu
lous farce which is a violation of the laws ofGod
and mail; and utterly revolting to the cnlight- -
