THE ELECTION.
Democrats, to the Polls !
Tiie Election takes placu en n--xt Tuesday,
nd we Kiicerely hope the Democracy are pre
pared to do their duty on that day. The politi
cal cute? in wide
h we :.rv now engaged is ene
cf Tcry grtat importance, and every Democrat
should bo careful in doing his duty by attending
the edectivn, and in seeing that all his Democratic
neighbor al.'o vote. IM not a single Democratic
vote ic the district iu which you reside, be lost.
The State ticket is composed of Hos. WM. A.
PORTER, for Supreme Judge, and WESTLEY

.tentlv rititltd t.. the support vf every Democrat

ben doubted by even his opponents. Nature j
ha? endowed him with abilities of the very high- !
06. order; he in also a ripe scholar and a lawyer
thoroughly read and ..f much experience in the j
practice cf tbe profc si-.u. Every Democrat !
should b careful to vote for him, because the ;
opposition are making herculean efforts to defeat I
him, and becaun- his defeat would be heralded !

Th next -office that demands your attention is j
Cugres. Indeed it is pr-.b.ulr the most im-
portant ofnc to be voted for on next Tuesday. ;
CYRUS L. PERSUING, a citizen of Cumbria, is j
tho Democratic candidate. We have spoken!
i
moro than cr.ee of his qualifications for the ta- 1
tion,andaw will not rehcarsothem now. Suffice
it is to mi ' that he is possessed of thc abilities j
and integrity to make a faithful Representative 1
in our National Legislature. Be stands pledged
if elected, to look to the principles of the Demo
,ratic Party, as expounded by Jefferson, Madison
and Jackson, and embodied in the Cincinnati Plat-
form for his iruhlance, and that he vill redeem that
1-tedg. if dctd, no one acquainted with him will
rtoubt. Mr. Blair, the Black Republican candid ite,
U aa ardent admirer of the sectional and an tiUniou
principles of the Rlack Republican rarty, and
with Horace Grecly, Lloyd Garrison and David
Wilmot, advocates thc hetriiic that Congress has
the riLt to legiMste on the question as to wheth
er slavery tdull exist iu the Territories, and con
eequenlly repudietes tlie doctrine ef popular sov
ereignty. The truth is, he is really heart and
eonl a fanatical abolitionist, although he is at
1 precetit either a.bamed or afraid to avow his ad- ;
. bereoce to that treasonable and fanatical organi
sation. There ia also another consideration which
render tbe contest for Congret3 this fall of aiore
than ordinary importance. It is not impossible
but that tbe next Presidential election may go into
the Uc.use.and one of our exchauges taking thi
view of the contest, makes the following scusible
wbservations :
There may I e a pofiLil!ty cf ther.txt Treades

legation from this State will decide how the Tote ,
of Pennsylvania shall be cast on that issue. It is
not at all improbable that the next President will
be 'elted -by the HdUse. The indications now
are. that if the Opposition, cannot concentrate

State, and that one vote may decide who in to be
the next President of the United States.
THOMAS H. PORTER, of Washington tovrn
Lip, is our candidate for Assembly, and he, too,
is entitled to the united support of the Mountain
Democracy. He Las always been an active, hard
working Democrat. lie wiil, if elected, Drake

bc elected bv au old fashioned Democratic ma
jority. Attend the ckotiun and vote for him.
It is unnecessary for us to say anything in
praise of JAMES MYERS, our candidate for
SheriiT, cither as a man or a Democrat. Ho is
well known to the people of this county, and is
universally respected and esteen.c-d. .We are
confident no sincere Democrat in the ccuLty will
abandon him and vote fr Robert P. Lintcn, who
is now endeavoring to disorganize the party, and
making common cause with Know Nothings autl
Bbck Republicans.
j ABEL LLOYD, our nominee for Commissioner
; has always been true to the party, is a good bus
I iness man, and will make a model officer. MI
! CUAEL M'GLTRE, for Poor House Director, and
HENRY' HAWK, for Auditor, are both gentle
men of ability, and have always been true to the
Democratic Tarty.
. Such, fellow citizens, is the ticket which i pre
sented to you for your suffrages on next Tuesday.
Will you not attend the election, and vote for
EVERY man on it, from Canal O-mmissionBr to
Auditor? REMEMBER, you have nothing to
gain from elevating Know Nothings and Black
Republicans to office; for when in power they
always wield their infiuer.ee against ytu and
your principles. Stand by the toil-worn and
'invincible banner of De men racy, under which
you have so often fought and triumphed, an 1 j
let vour motto on next Tuesday be. "THE i
TICKET. THE WHOLE TICKET. AND '
NOTHING BUT THE TICKFT '
ATTEND THE ELECTION ! !
An illuatrioua Jurist ouce trulv said that
t ts i
! a great privilege to choose such persons aJ are to
j bind a rnau'slife and property by the laws they
; n.ake."' The truth of this wi!',-we think, be con-
ceded by every or.f ; and we feel inclined to go
; further, and say that, in a government like ours,
i where the people are sovereign, and the govt ri:
j meat emanates from the governed, the ri-,'i;t ex-
ercise of the elector's suirrage.cn all proper occa
sions, bears with if. the solemnity of a positive
duty. Certainly that nip.n has bat a slight appre
ciation of his rights who is too indolent to aLfeiid
tlie polls, whenever an election occurs at which
! he is privileged to vote, and participate in tho
1 selection of those who are authorized to enact
laws wbich ,na" seriously effect his dearest
ri'ihu- 'n'e "ghts of an elector, with which
every citizen of the United States hi clothed,
cry certain responsibilities with them, which
citiz-'n oul forget. On next Tuesday, the
people of this county will be called upon to vote
fr a Representative to our National Legislature,
aQ1 a Representative to our Sst.ite Legislature,
both of whom will be vested with the law-making
pc-wtr; consequently, the election is one of very
great importance, and wo once more urge upon
ur Den.ocratic friends to be active and vigilant
the day of election. As we said last week,
Pekshkso will be elccteil, if the entire Demo-
cia'io Vote of tllis touuty is polled. We are cer- j
tam tho Democracy of this county do not wish j
to bo represented in Congress by a Black Rcpul- J

Democrats. Remember:
That CYRUS L. PERSUING is in favor of
increasing the Tariff on Iron and Co..l, and will,
if elected, 'labor to promote thc great interests of
Pennsylvania.
REM FMUER, that the Tariff of 1S57, whieh
reduced the tariff on Iron from SO to'24 percent,
was passed by a Black Republican House of
Representatives; aud REMRMCER also, that
Samuel S. Blair i a member of tlie Black Re-
publican party, and voted for David Wilmot for
Governor last year, who, wh'le a raember of
Congress, voted for the Tariff of 1846, and who
then was, aud probably 6till ia, the advocate of
i thc doctrine of Free Trade and direct taxatiou to
J support the General Government.
REMEMBER, that Johu M. Read, the Black
Republican candidate for the Supreme Bench,!
Jench
wrote a letter to George M. Dallas, thanking
him for his vote in favor of the Tariff of 1846.
These are important facts, which every Demo
crat should Remember on next Tuesday.

the Tariff. Of course next year thty wiil have
a new name and a new Platform. ,
The Democratic Party is really the People's 1
party of the Country. It has always been the
guardian of the rights of the People, and steadily
opposcil all measures having a tendency tortn
dcr the rich richer, and thc poor, poorer. Its
motto is, "The blessings of government,, like the
,J(n.c nnifavon a,nM dl.tn.rl alike imon
all the high and the low, the rich and the
poor."v It occupies the same platform to-day
that it did in 1800, when it tlevated Thomas
Jefferson to the Presidency, and abo'.ished the
Alien and Sedition Lav s.
llr. .TefTxrson, in bin Inaugural Addrew, deliv
er 1 in 1801, traced the following correct and
beautiful outline of the most important princi
ples of the Democratic Tarty :
"Equal and exact justice to all men ; peace,
commerce, and horest friendship with all nations,
entangling alliances with none ; the support of
the State governments in all their right, as tho
most competent administrations for our domestic
cunccrns, and t! :e surest -bulwarks against anti-

Society Islands.
We have important uews fioru the Society
Islands, dated at Raiatca and Tahaa, on the
Oth of June, and at Tahiti on the 1 2th of
July. The Governors of the first named Is
land who have the power of appoiuting or
dethroning the King had, it appear?, taken
the supreme power from Tomatoa V., son of
Queen Pomare. of Tahiti, who was elected
Chief Magistrate about a year ago. The ex-
King then decided to return to the home of
! his mother, Pomarc, and thus the Island 1
j were left without a ruler. Iu this euier- J
' gncy the Governors offered Consul Owen, of
! tnc Lni,eJ Citates, to surrenuer tue islands 01 ;
Tahaa and Raiatea to our government, and
handed him official letters to that effect for
transmission to Washington. This move
ment gave great offence to the representa
tives of England aud France, who incited a

jury of Freneli interests at Tihiti.
- ST Promfc?B to bo good th Fair
Tie Comet,
seen by PrretMor Mitchell, at the Cincin
..,.. tiot Observatory..
:? Professor -Mttcbeit, of ihe Cincinnati Ob
servatory, has bcon obserring iLe Comet, sod
he gives th following description of it :
"It has been steadily apjjroacniti the
esrth, and in a direction so nearly coincident
with the visual raj, that, but for the roliable
computations of astronomers, might well ex
cite anticipation of some fearful collision with
oar own plauct. Indeed throughout the
present month it seems' to have been plung
ing downward sc exactly toward the earth,
that it scarcely chauged its apparent place
ana'onj: the fixed stars by a Quantity larter
than two or turee times the appareut diame
ter of the moon.
"It will reach its nearest approach to the
Eun in a few days. Its brilliancy wiil in
crease rapidly up to the close of the first
week in October, when it will put on the
most splendid appearance, and will then rival
in grandeur the great comet of Ilallcy, at its
last appearance iu 1836. The comet will
soon commence to change its direction, at
first 8lowIy; afterward more rapidly, as seen
from the earth, when sweeping round the
sun it will terrain those distant regions of
pace wherein a vast proportion of its otbit
lies far beyond the reach of telescopic vision.
-On the eveninc cf the 2oth ot Septem-
ber the appearance of the comet, in the great
refractor of the Cincinnati Observatory,
was especially interesting The central por
tion, or nucleus, was examined with powers
varying from one hundred to five hundred,
without presenting any evidence of a well de
fined planetary disc. It was a brilliant glow
of lisrht, darting and fiafhing forward in the
OI llTlil, uarwiJg auu uaruiu ioi wuu in iuc
direction of the motion toward the sun, and
leaving the region behind in comparative
obscurity. Hut the most wonderful pnysieal
feature presented was a portion of a nearly
circular nthulous ring, with its vertex di
rected toward the sun, the bright nucleus
tPn n the centre while the imnerfect rim?
gwct)t more than half way rouud the lumi-
noua centre.

so as to establish what is called a complete

one to carrv the message, shock, wave, cr
