"We bad not intended to say one word in regard to Mr. Pnmroy, because we know hiiu to be a g,ood citizen, but biv'iig no qnaliSeauon tba' would St biui to defend himself. ****** We would simply ask you to point out to us what qualification Mr. Pumroy posses ses, that would St him for the high and re sponsible office of congressman.

Tuscurora Reg ister. Sept. 10. We do not know what qualifications our democratic friends want iu a congressman but we do know that the people of Penn sylvania have always placed a very high estimate on such sterling virtues as "good citizenship," "good business capacity," "couitnou courtesy," ("commonality,") and that "modest silence," which forbids its possessor to obtrude his opinions in all places and on all occasions. \\ by these .ire the very virtues in which Pennsylvani- a's glory, and which we are gla 1 to see so freely au-isofully accorded by our demo cratic friends to our candidate for congress. They are indeed the \cry qualities which the times and the place demand. Let us examine them. 1. "lie, Mr. Pumroy, is a good cjtizen,'* affirm- the especial guardian of Mr. Reilly. A good citizen is oue that is wise, prudent, honest, firm to his purpose, enlightened, I-UTJI minded, public spirited, patriotic and e nerally virtuou*. And all these quuli :'C3, our opponents do not deny, ornament* in a high degree, the character of Joseph I'uairoy. Can the honest voters of this oi*trict ask for higher qualifications?— B here can they find a candidate of purer character, or a more steadfast friend of right? - "Mr. Pumrov is ag<)d business tnan ' federate our opponents everywhere.

And ) e t Mr. I'/g Mho'o career from his early a!, j friendless boyhood to bis present well ■idured ago, is an unbroken chain', every 'ink of which reflects some bright.illustra ,lCD ®f the high minded and honorable bus 'utes tuan. With the common birthright of til Auuticaua, Mr. i'umroy inherited an ' tiutble origin, a souud tmud,. a free heart " Cl * ready band; and with these, unas sisted by the appliances of wealth, and ! u '-' e at) d power, he has rough hewu his way to the respectable positfcn which ' l? ,i '' T occupies before the people of" this wiigressional district. Mr. P. W a good -" '-iitOifß man, eminently qualified for'a scut' A Weekly Paper, Devoted to Literature, Politics, the Arts, Sciences, Agriculture, &cv, &c—Terras : Two Dollars per annum. in Congress in these nionientous times that so severely try the wisdom, the honestv, the firmness, the purity of our public men.— And this acknowledged honesty, ability, and good business capacity, is the very ground on which we urge the election of Mr. Pumroj. In this respect we claim fo r him (and our opponents tacitly admit the claim.) great superiority over his honored rival, Mr. Reiliy. To the thinking people of the district, especially to the industrious classes, the working men, Mr. P.'s superior qualifications will bo readily apparent.— Let us compare the respective merits of these two candidates for public favor. Mr. Pdmroy was, during his boyhood, seveiClj disciplined in the hard school of adversity, and in almost every subsequent period of bis life, bis own hands have been engaged in some mechauical, mercantile, manufac turing or agricultural employment. (We except, of course, those years in which the people of Franklin county thought proper to entrust with him their legislative inter ests, and for his prompt, able and efficient attention to which interests Mr. P. has now in Lis possession many tokens of regard from his old constituents.) Mr. P. there fore seems to have been a business man, a good business man, even from his boyhood: is it strange, therefore, that now, when in the prime of his manhood, even his oppo nents should proclaim hiui to lea firstrate business man? lie has a thorough, practi cal, experimental acquaintance with the three great branches of labor to which our noble common weal tit owes its greatness and its power;—agriculture, commerce and manufactures. Hew is it with Mr. lleilly? lie is said to be a respectable lawyer. In these go-ahead times of modern improve ment when a young man is suddenly taken from some gleby field or dusty workshop* and in the course of nine short months is, by some labor saving process, duly trans formed into an animal yelept "a gentleman of the bar;" and fully accoutred in specta cles, curved headed cane, and green bag full of "Sergeant and Rawle," we freely admit, it is a distinguished honor to be cvtn a respectable lawyer. If, then, Mr. lleilly is the leading lawyer of the Cbambersburg liar, we may reasonably expect 'hat all his youth and early manhood were spent at school and amid the musty tomes of old law books; whilst his riper years have been fooled away in repeated, but. ever abortive efforts to ascertain whether "Goosey" is bet ter picking than "Gander:" or "Gorgas" was a greater scoundrel than "McCracken," though both stood at the very climax of villainy. Mr. R. may be well acquainted yrith the quirks, and forms, and catches, and glorious uncertainties of the written law; he may have large experience in ma king the worse appear the belter side; he may have a tongue as voluble as woman's, and an eloquence that ought never to be found pleading for vice against virtue, and for wrong against right. But these ure no' the qualigcations best adapted to represent the interests of this State in our national legislature. There are already too many, far too many lawyers in congress. They outnumber every other profession in our late congresses, although the legal interests in the whole country is exceedingly small when compared with the agricultural, mer cantile or mechanical. To the firmer, me chanics, merchant*, manufacturers, to tliose who labor in every department ot industry we address the question, which of tLose two gentlemen has a more thorough knowledge, a more practical acquaintance, a deeper personal interest in the various employ ments in which you are honorably engaged, and on the uninterrupted success of which the happiness of yourselves and families de pend? Which of the two would most quick ly and most keenly foci ttic crushing weight of a law leveled against your interests? — There can be but one answer. Will you, then, by sheer carelessness, or by inaotivi tv, commit the vast aud varied interests of this district to one who by virtue of his profession is of necessity devoid of tha 1 knowledge of the wants of his constituents, without which it is impossible to make an able representative? 3. But "Mr. I*. is a common man!" ex. claims the high mettled cavalier of the re doubtable Register. We freejy admit that our candidate is neither too purse proud on account of bis wealth, nor too tstuck up' on account of his standing in society to shake a poor mtn by the hand in any company, and to treat all peoplo with due courtesy and civility. 4. Mr. P. is pot able to "defend him. self." If by this is meant that Mr. P. would scorn to use bludgeons, bowie knives and blows, it is undoubtedly true; for al though he has more than ordinary weight of corporosity, he is more accustomed to use sound argument thin fisticuffs, and more fa miliar with good logic than with the cow ard's bludgeon. 5. "Mr. Pumroy cannot speak at all whilst "Mr. lleilly is an uncommou fine speaker." We .never heard (.hat Mr. P. was born tongue tied, or that h's vocal or gans have been paralized. But there are already too many speech makers in con gress. It is a common remark of those who visit Washington that there "is too much speaking and too little sober thinking for the good of the country." What we now waDt in our representative is not a flippant disciple of the green bag to rehearse in con gress hall the turbulent slang that continu ally streams from the partizan press, but a "plain blunt man, who can speak right on, uUU tell the people what he Knows;*' or in the language of our opponents, a "good cit izen," and "a good business man," which they themselves acknowledge Mr. Pumroy to be. A FARMER. * THE NATIONAL WHIG CON VENTION. We condense from the Baltimore papers of .last week the following report of the proceedings of the National Whig Conven tion, now in session in that city. The following gentlemen were elected as the permanent officers of the conven tion: PRESIDENT. Edward Bates, of Missouri. VICE PRESIDENTS. Col. Jos. Paxton, of Pennsylvania. Luther V. Bell, of Massachusetts. Dr. James Thompson, of Delawaro Charles P. Krevals, ot Connecticut. James A. Hamilton, of New York. Ex-Governor Charles Strattott, of Jersey. Ezekiel F. Chambers, of Maryland. WynJham Robertson, of Virginia. Gov. Win. A. Grahatn, of North Carolina. Albert A. Holt of Alabama. A. M. Fonte, of Mississippi. Dr. George W. Campbell, Louisiana. Gov. Allan Trimble, of Ohio. Henry T. Duncan, of Kentucky. John Shanklin. of Indiana. Walter Coleman, of Tennessee. James 11. Matheny, of Illinois. Gov. 'Wm. C. Lane, of Missouri. John Finney, of FloriJa. Col. E. A. Ilolbrook, of Aikansas. G. T. Dort'.e, of Georgia. SECRETARIES. Lnz. Anderson, of Ohio. James M. Townsend, of Connecticut. Hon. Thomas Jt DCS Yorke sec - tions in political hostility and organized parties founded only on geographical dis tinctions, must inevitably prove fatal to a continuance of the National Union. Resolved, That tho Whigs of the United States declare as a fundamental article of political faith, an absolute necessity for avoiding geographical parties. Tho danger so cleariy discerned by tho "Father of his Country," has now become fearfully appar ent in the agitation now convulsing the na tion, and must be arrested at once if we would preserve our Constitution and our Union from dismemberment, and the name of America from being blotted out from the family of civilized nations. ResolveJ, That all who revere the Consti tution and the Union must look with alarm at tho parties in the field in tho prcseut Presidential campaign—one claiming only to represent sixteen Northern .States, and the other appealing mainly to tho passions and prejudices of the Southern States; that the succos? of ei'hsr faction must add fuel to the flame which now threatens to wrap our dearest interests in a comuiou' rain. Resolved, That the only remedy for an evil sd appalling is to support a candidate pledged to neither of the geographical sec tions now arrayed in political antagonism, but holding both in a just and equal regard. We congratulate tbc friends of the Union that such a candidate exists iu Millard Fill more. Resolved, That, without adopting or re ferring to the peculiar doctrines of the par ty which bus already selected Mr. Fillmore as a candidate, we look to Lim as a well tried and fui hfui friend ot the Constitution and the Union, eminent alike for his wisdom and firumcss—for his justiee and modera tion in our foieign relations for his calm aud pacific temperament so well becoming the head of a great nation—for his devo tion to the Constitution in its true spirit— his inflexibility in executing tho laws; but beyond ail these attributes, in possessing the one transcendent merit of being a repre sentative of neither of the two sectional parties now struggling for politi-al supre macy. Resolved, That in the present exigency of political affairs, we are not called upon to discuss the subordinate questions of the ad iiiiu is I rat ion iu the exorcising of the constitutional powers of the government. — it is enough to know that civil war is rag ing, and that the Union is in peril; and pro claim the conviction that the restoration ot Mr. Fillmore to the Presidency will furnish the best if not the only means of restoring peace. Resolved, That we cordially approve the nomination of Andrew J. Pouelson for the Vice Presidency; regarding him as a na tional, conservative patriot, faithfully devo te J to the Constitution and the Union. Resolved, That n spontaneous rising of the Whigs throughout tbc country and their prompt rally to the support of the highest national interests, and the spirit here dis played, sufficiently attests, and (he spirit here displayed, sufficiently attests tho na tional iroportanco'of preserving and rcinvig orating their party organization —that a Na tional Whig Committee of one from each of the States, bo appointed by the president with authority to call any future eonven tion, and generally promote any effective or ganization of the party throughout the Loi ted States. ResolvoJ, That these resolutions be pub lished and respectfully submitted by the Convention as an address to tho people of the United States. These resolutions wero received with un bounded enthusiasm, and wero unanimous ly adopted. Speeches wero then made by D. Paul Brown and others. The oFillmore lutelligcuccr," is tb* name of a new paper started at Zunesviile, Ohio. The "Broome Union" is the title of a new Fillmore paper in Broome New York. Tho home organ of Hon. Jno M. Clayton, iu Delaware, has raised the Fillmore flag. A.Y APPEAL TO THE DEMOCRATS OF PEAWSYLVA.YIA. We clip the ,following from the Phila. Ledger, a leading Buchanan sheet of this State: In the political contest for the govern ment of the country for the next four years that we are now approaching, it is impor tant to view the signs of the time, to de termine what will be the result; and with three parties in the fieid with their differ ent candidates, it is more difficult than usu al to calculate the relative strength ofeach, but with the results of the recent election in Maine before us, the conviction is forced upon the mass of the commut Dy, that ifbotb Mr. Buchanan and Mr. Fillmore are candi dates, that they both]must be defeated by the Republican party which is gaining rapidly everyday. As this fact must be apparent to every observer of the state of feeling through the country, is it not tho part of wisdom for the friends of either Mr. Bu chanan or Mr. Fillmore to sacrifice their personal preferences and to uuitc forces on one ticket, and thus defeat the Republican candidates,Fremont and Dayton. Remember that iu Uuion there is Strcugth — United we stand, divided we full." —The proposi tion has already been made for the withdraw al of Mr. Z?uchauaa and Mr. A. J Dontlson. and uniting the two parties upon Mr. Fill more for Prosidcut, aud Mr. iL-eekenridge for Vice President. This will certainly form the strongest ticket that can be made, as it would combine the priueipal strength of both the American and the Democratic parties. A few of the foreign voters might be lost to the Democratic party from the fear of Know Nothingism, but these would be mote than compensated by tbc gain of the great bulk of the American party. That this Union would earry every South ern State, no one will for a moment doubt besides the strong probability of carrying tLe two great States of New York and Penn sylvania, aud also New Jersey, beside seve ral other Northern Statas. But should there be any difficulty in accomplishing this arrangement, wiil it not be hotter for the Democracy of Pennsylvania to drop both of their candidates and unite upon Fillmore and Donelson Mr Fillmore is a conserva tive man, and has shown his qualifications for the arduous duties of the Presidency, and is already known as the "Model Presi dent." In doing this the Democratic par ty would no doubt be able to secure the suc cess of their whole city ticket in Philadel phia, but also have a fair chance of carry ing their State ticket in October; and i t should be borne in mind that no paper in the interest of Mr. Fillmore in the South has yet advocated the alarming doctrine of the benefits of slavery for tho white race, which is justly repugnant to the sentiments of the Democracy of Pennsylvania, as the leading Democratic papers of the South who advocate the election of Mr. Buchanan are now doing—such papers as the Rich mond Enquirer, and Richmond Examiner, of Richmond, Ya., and the Charleston Mer cury, of Charleston, South Caroliua; and this abhorrent doctrine of the benefits of slavery for the poor white laboring men of the North is now being quoted from these papers, to tho injury of Mr. Buchanan in Pennsylvania. Democrats of Pennsylvania consider this subject, and decide in favor of duty an ! patriotism—you who prefer tho success of Fillmore and Donelson, to that of the Republican candidates, Fremont and Dayton. THE BvcnANiEit MEETING IN PHILA DELPHIA. —Our opponents made a great blast about their late meeting in Philadel phia. It was represented as immense, over whelming, etc. Tho Times tells the story as follows: "The meeting yesterday, in Independence Square, after all the immense preparation which was made, was a sorry failure. It was much inferior in point of uutnhers to the Democratic mass ratificalion meeting held there, when Gen. Cass and Douglas were present. TLe American meeting held some time since, was infinitely greater in poiut of numbers. We have heard the num bers variously estimated at two, three and four thousand We should judge that the number in the Square, at no time during the afternoon, exceeded three thousand; we had been led to expect, from the extraordinary efforts made by Forney and the State aud city democratic committees to make this the great demonstration of 'ho season, that not less than twenty five or thirty thousand per sons would be present. The procession was also a failure. There wa3 no enthusiasm, no spirit, no life in it. It marched on with the silence and gravity of a funeral train. We have never seen such a straggling, shilty shtilly column.— ' Tho time occupied in its passage past dif ferent poiuts was—at the eoru'er of Arch and Tenth streets, forty minutes. There it was more compact than at the corner of Sixth and Chestnut streets. At the latter point it was timed by three gentlemen, one gave the time at forty five, another at forty seven", and a thud at fifty five minutes, in cluding all the stoppages. AH agree in placing the time an hour. A noticeable feature in the proccssicu was, that although there were a good many transparencies bearing devices in the Ger man language, yet there were really but few Germans in the procession. No oue with whom we have conversed estimated the profession at over 5000 per sons. There were not more thao that num ber in the line of march at any time. LOCO FOCOLSM GASPING FOR BREATH—BRECKIN RIDGE ON THE STUMP. Major Breckinridge, the Loeo Foco can didate for Vice Presidency, has started- np on a personal canvass and has opened it by a speech at Cincinnati, on the night of the Ist inst. Thence lie went to Indiana, Mi chigan, Illinois, where appointments were alreadv made for him Now he is in our own city. And thus, for the first time in our history, we have a candidate upon the presidential ticket, setting out upon a stump-speaking tour, us a desperate resort t-o retiieve the desperate fortunes of his party. The cause of all this is stated in the Louisville Jonnuf: ' A highly respectable gentleman of this city, just returned from Washington, in forms us that he was told by some of the leading Democrats in Washington that they hal abandoned all hope of success in New Yorkaml even iu Pennsylvania, and had no expectations of being able to carry a single Northern State, unless John C. Breckin ridge, their candidate for Vice Presidency, could save Indiana or Illinois by making stump speeches throughout these States. Accordinly we find Mr. Breckinridge, accepting invitations to address mass meet ings in Indiana and Illinois. What a me lancholy specticul. A party reduced to the pircli of Jegredatiou and despair.' It is unparalleled iu the annals of our politi cal history. A candidate for the Vice Presidency, the second highest office in the gift of this great nation, compelled to *,ke tho stump as the last resort in the death struggle of his party' This last resort will be unavailing. This simple fact of itself will be sufficient to make honest people eve ry where forget the persuasive eloquence aud ingenious arguments of the Sig Nieht candidate for the Viet Presidency in their deep disgust for the degradation to which a candidate for the Vice Presidency has thus been subjected by Lis party. WILE BCCHANAM WITHDRAW?—This question may Resolved before long, for the democratic organs are beginning to discuss it gravely. The Suubury American, which flies his name at the mast-head, refers to the rumors that the South is making efforts ! to got Uini to decline in favor of Mr. Fill more, who is to run for the Presidency on the same ticket in connection with Mr. Breckinridge, the democratic nominee for Vice President, and that Mr. Breckinridge bad visited 31 r. Buchanan for that purpose, though it puts no faith in the report, says: There is no question but tho South feels j very uneasy in tiie ptesent state of affairs. I The truth is, ptrfy distinctions arc fast bo j iug swallowed up by that all absorbing sub ject, tho slavery question. The South is, | unanimous for Buchanan, while the Western and the Eastern and Middle States, with : few exceptions are alumst as unanimous for FiUmore and Fremont. This is truly a strange state of affairs and much to be re ' grettod. Any one at all conversant with ; our pnlitie.il affairs, must have seen long ! since, that such would be the result. The : crisis has, no doubt, been hastened on bv ; the ill-timed action of Preside.ut Pierce Julge Douglas and otliers, in regard to the Missouri Compromise and the Kansas Ne braska bill. A REBl.KK.—President Pierce having determined to visit Lis home iu New Hamp shire, a public meeting of -the citizens of Concord was held on Monday last to make arrangements for his reception. About 1,- 000 persons were in attendance A resolu tion declaring it "inexpedient" to give hiiu a public reception was adopted by a vote of four to out ! The reas.au assignel for this rebuke, is their disapprobation of the President's connection with the Border Ruffi anism which Uni outraged the Freemen of Kansas—a large number of whom are the sous of New England. Lecompte of Kansas is out iu defence of his conduct as judge. Tho enforcer of ty rnuical laws needs defence. VOL. 29, WO. 40. Meanness. The characteristic traits of such a man as Jaincs Buchanan arc the proper subjects of study at such a time as this. The fel, lowing is a copy cf a letter from him to the assessor tit Lancaster: Washington, Feb. 26, IS4J. Dear Sir:—l have received yours of the 12ih inst., informing nic, that, not knowing whether I consider myself a resid ent of Lancaster; you have assessed me a* such. 1 had supposed that you would hare known that I had removed from Lancaster nearly a year ago, and lacecver sinee been a resident of this city, where my official duties require that I should reside. I trust that at soinc future period 1 may again be come a resident of Lancaster, but that is wholly uncertain. JAMES BUCHANAN. Michael Bindlk, Esq". liie object of this note wis to escape from the payment of taxes, at his own bourn upon the pitiful plea that, being i oflno at Washington, he was irot a resident of Lancaster. Is a man who thus sueak* off from the payment of hiajust dues to the State, the one for whom wc should be asked to vote on the ground of "State pride?" Ho disowned the State for tiio paltry consider ation of a few dollars; and a real feeling oo "State pride" would prompt the disowning ofiiim, in return —Pitfs. Gozttle. ONE AND THE SAME. Some Democrats say that they never again could vote for Franklin Pierce; hut they hope better things of Jaincs Buchanan, be cause he is a new man. Let them pause before they come to such a conclusion. It is all one concern. Bnchauan says he goes for the Uineinnatti Platform, which endor ses Pierce and his policy. Ilcre is a part of that Platform IlesolveJ, that the Administration of FRANKLIN* PIERUE has been .true to Democratic principles, and therefore trad to the grpat interest of the country, in the face of violent opposition he has tinufaineJ the Laws at home, and vindicated the rights of American citizens abroad: and therefore we proclaim 3jr~Our unqualified .]Jura tion of his measur'S and policy. A vote for James Buchanan is, thcreforo a vote for tne continuance of the policy of Franklin Pierce. MASS MEETING AT LANCASTER —An immense mass meeting was held bj tba fricn-ls of Fillmore. About fivo thousand people were in attendance. There wis a large procession with niusia sdu banner! torches and transparencies. Jubn P. San-, derson, Esqf, cf Philadelphia, addressed the meeting. The N*. Y. Express announces that & Fillmore electoral ticket will be formed in New Jersey, headed by Commodore Slock* ton and Theodore Frelinghuyscn. 50,030 L4KOIIERS W 4OTED! AT TEA COTS A 1M¥!! 11 end the following extracts from a speech of Mi. Buchanan, in thu United States Sen ate, in IS4O, in which he advocated the re duction of wages to the European standard! We understand the Lncofneos, in case Mr Buchanan is ilectcd, intend to put down the price of labor to ten cents a day imme- , diutfly. They now want 50,000 laborers at ten cents n day to try the experiment on!' Won't some of our hard fisted laboring men apply to Mr. Buchanan at Wheatland for the situation without delay? Here's his arguments in favor of the re duction: ••In Germany, irlicri- the currency '.s purely metalic, ami the cost of everything i REDUC ED to a hard money standard, a piece of broad cloth can be manufactured for titty dollars; the manufacture of which, in our country from the expansion of piper currency would cost one hundred dollars.
