Notices of New Advertisements.
The Masonic fraternity will find an adver
tisement of "The American Freemason" in
another column of to-day's paper. It is one
of the ablest publications devoted to the in
terests of the brotherhood in the world.
The 7th of September was named
by this county under a supposition that it
would best suit the congressional Conferees
from other counties to meet at Williams
port at that time. As it is rather late to
arrange another day, we hope all will con
cur in if and attend.
THE PEOPLE'S TICKET.
It must be conceded by every one at all
acquainted with the gentlemen nominated
on Monday last, that if integrity, honesty
and capacity constitute recommendations to
the favor of the people, no better selections
could have been made. DAVID "WITHE
ROW, who has been named for the Legis
lature, is a son of Samuel Witlierow, Esq.,
of Atkinson's Mills, and is well known as
a "miller" of more than ordinary intelli- |
gence, of irreproachable character, whose |
" word is as good as his bond" any day. \
Connected with both the farming and me- j
chanical interest, and totally disconnected j
with everything in the shape of extrava
gance, either in public or private matters,
he is one who can well be trusted to vote
with a proper regard for the people's inter
ests.
Ot Mr. Peachey, the Candidate for Com
missioner, it will he sufficient to say that
the democratic party had such confidence
in his integrity and honesty a few years
ago as to nominate him (notwithstanding
he was an Old Line Whig,) on their tick
et for Director of the Poor, ilis efficien
cy in that office with the aid of his col
leagues, was such that the Poor House
Accouut so far exhibits a most remarkable
change in pecuniary affairs—a fact which
renders Dr. Bower's "snake hill" abolish
ing the office the more reprehensible.—
tor the information of the Taxpayers, we j
here append the True Democrat's opinion
of Mr. Peachey two years ago :
From tbc True Democrat, August 11. lIK.
For Director of the Poor, JOHN PEACHEY, I
of Menno township, one of the staunch and
reliable farmers of Kishacoquillas valley was 1
nominated, as a man EMIN ENTLY OTA LI- i
TIED TO PROTECT THE PUBLIC INTER
ESTS. An effort was last year made, and |
will probably be again, to sell the old Poor i
House tarrn, with a view of purchasing one
moie eligible and suitable, and therefore it is :
important that A PRUDENT, SAFE AND '
DISCRIMINATING MAN be elected as Di- 1
rector of the Poor, for should the project be |
carried out, a reckless disregard of the public !
interests, such as was manifested in making
jail contracts, might plunge the countv into '■
an inextricable debt. ALL WHO KNOW
MR. PEACHEY GUARANTEE HIS ABIL
ITY AND INTEGRITY FULLY EQUAL
TO THE DISCHARGE OF THE IMPOR
lAXI TRUST the Democracy desire to com
mit to his keeping.
Nothing has occurred since the above !
was published to change the relative posi
tion of 31 r. P. towards the taxpayers.—
He is still " EMINENTLY QUALIFIED TO
PROTECT THE PVBLIC INTERESTS," and
therefore deserving the support of demo
crats as well as those who placed him in
nomination.
Mr. MXTKSER, the candidate for Coroner,
is an old resident of this place, well quali
fied to fill the duties of that office, and
JOHN D. BARR, the candidate for Auditor,
is a scrupulously correct man who would
attend to auditing public accounts as de
signed hy law.
J'hc Raima* Elect am. —Leavenworth
dispatches of the 20th inst., received per
U. 8. Express to Boonville, state that the
official returns from 20 counties of Kansas
aud partial returns front two other counties,
leaving four counties yet to hear from,
give the following result: Whole vote,
13,380. Majority against the proposition
9,648.
LICENSE DECISION.— .Judge Raines de
livered an able opinion before the Chester
county Court, last week, upon the subject
of the new Liquor Law. Re holds that
there is a discretion left with the court in
its power to grant license, founded upon
the evidence before it, as to the necessity of
the house for public accommodation, and
the character of the applicant, and that the
court is not bound by the law of 1858 to
license all taverns applied for in due form
—irrespective of the morals and interests
of the people.

ed neaily 1800 votes when the slave constitu
tion was up, at the recent election polled 29,
giving 3 majority for the English bribe.
Monej Plenty—for the Rich aud the Office
holders.
The Democrat, in noticing the bids for
the 10,000,000 government loan, says:
"With such facts before us, in addition
to the Bank reports, which show that the
Banks of Boston, New York, Philadelphia
I and other cities, have more specie on hand
' now than ever they had before, how can any
; man be silly enough to believe that the hard
' times and scarcity of labor are owing to a
want of money in our country?"
I Yes, there is plenty of money for the
j rich —plenty for officeholders and govern
' ment drones who will get paid from the
proceeds of this loan —hut how is it with
I other classes? A contemporary furnishes
us with a suitable answer.
Throughout the country men arc offer
ing to work at far less than the recent wa
ges, and yet are in great part unemployed.
Poor houses are filling to overflowing.—
Furnaces and factories are idle. Ships are
rotting at the wharves. Merchants, unable
ito pay rents, discharge their clerks. La
bor is, therefore, everywhere superabun
dant.
Unable to sell his labor, the laborer is
unable to purchase his usual supplies of
food. The market for food diminishing,
prices fail, and the farmer is unable to pur
chase cloth. Unable to.sell cloth, the man
ufacturer does not need to purchase en
gines. Unable to sell machines, the ma
chinist need not purchase iron. Unable to
sell iron, the furnace master does not need
to purchase coal, and thus is the miner de
prived of the power to purchase food or
clothing. Look where wc may commerce
is nearly dead —the heavy sufferers by her
death being those "dear people" who, like
ourselves, must sell their labor, if they
would he unabled to purchase food.
£uch being the case with the people, how
is it with their masters—the men whom
they have placed in the administration oi l
their affairs? Do they suffer in like man
ner? Are their wages reduced ? On the I
contrary, they arc largely increased. i'res-j
ident, secretaries, senators, congressmen,
comptrollers, clerks, and all others char
ged with either legislation or adminis
tration, have fixed salaries payable in mon
ey, and the more that money will purchase
the better it must be for them. At fifty
cents a day they can purchase the labor of
twice as many men as they could do when j
wages were a dollar a day. Reduce wages
to ten cents a day, and the J'resident's sal
ary becomes equal to that of eight hundred
men. All of these people desire, of course j
that every thing may be cheap—feeling I
that their power to gratify their appetites
must increase with every step in that direc
tion. Free trade having alreadv done so
much fur them ; cheapening land, labor,
food, and clothing need we wonder that
they now look anxiously for those happy .
days of " free trade tlnd direct taxation," !
when a dime .--hall he considered a fair |
equivalent for a days work. Certainly not?
That point reached, there will he glori- j
ous times at Washington, if we may judge j
from what lias already been accomplished, ;
as exhibited in the following picture drawn
from the columns of one of our free trade
neighbors:
" The present cabinet lias been more re
markable than any of its predecessors, for a
liberal and hospitable style of living. It is ,
true that most of them are wealthy men, but
it docs not always follow that official men live |
in a manner commensurate with their wealth.
For the year ending with this spring net one
of the cabinet expended less than fifteen thou
sand dollars, and two or three of thein expen
ded each twenty five thousand. It is true i
that their entertainments, equipage, ect., were 1
unusually frequent and of an expensive
kind. Their example was followed h- some i
wealthy citizens, foreign ministers and sen-'
ators—particularly Douglas and G win—and j
thus fashionable and public life, during the
season prior to Lent, was, in this city, a per
petual carnival." I
The Canal Commissioners and the .Sun
bury and lirle Railroad.
Ihe public had begun to regard the
Hoard ol I'anal Commissioners of Pennsyl
vania as a defunct institution, and the pub
lic rejoiced at its virtual extinction by the
3lc of the Public works. But the Canal
Board dies hard, and having nothing else
to do, they are trying to be galvanized into
life and to have the sale of the Canals to
the Sunbury and Erie Railroad Company
set aside. On Thursday morning, we learn
from the Philadelphia Bulletin, they met
in that city and passed the following pream
ble and resolution :
t . h<! P aSßfte " f Act Of
April 1808, authorizing the sale of the canals
belonging to the commonwealth, to the Sun
bury and Erie Railroad suggestions have fro
quently been inado to the Board of Canal
of o r^r L Tf'^, dti ,- nsfr - d >ff-entnnr tß
of the State, that the law is unconstitutional
and that it was a duty which the Board owed
to the people of the Slate to test before the
highest Court of the Commonwealth, the cor
rectness of these suggestions:
H,'n A n d 'R Vh n re ? , . th ° w, : itten o Pion of the
Hon. R Buckalew, who had been consul
ted upon the subject, has just been laid be
tore the Board, which opinion is adverse to
the constitutionality of the law.—Therefore
Resolved, That the President of the
Black TTxv W, l h Jl ,e 1Ion " S.
thev 'cone L " IlirHt * E8 T. and that if
t c!':
CourT in the " u r" eme
Four months have elapsed since the law i
was passed authorising the sale, and now
the Canal Commissioners think they have
! discovered it is unconstitutional. They
! have consulted one of Mr. Buchanan's for
eign ministers about it, and he says it is un
constitutional. Now they are going to con
sult one of his domestic ministers, the Attor
. ney General, and, like a good Democrat, in-
I terested in keeping up the Canal, as State
property, for the sake of making Demo-
I cratic votes, he, too, will say it is uncon
; stitutional. It may be worth while to in
: quire whether the State is to pay the coun
j sel fees for the litigation that the Canal
; Board have undertaken, or whether the ex
pense had not better he borne by the Dem
ocratic party.
The Democrat's Signal of Distress.
The Democrat, well knowing that it can
make no defence for Dr. Bower's legisla
tive course, endeavors, with a wiliness
worthy of that concern, to create an im
pression that we are abusing the private
character of the Dr. This looks very much
like a signal of distress. In what respect
have we assailed him to call for such an
attack on us as was made last week? Will
it pretend to deny that Dr. Bower author
ized it last fall to say that he was opposed
in toto to granting the credit of the State
to the Sunbury and Erie Railroad Company
in any shape ? Will it deny that he made
the same promises to at least a dozen
democrats? And will it deny that he falsi
fied these promises? No, even in its men
dacity, it knows better, and hence under
takes to make it appear that we are attwk
iiii/ his private character! At this rate
Dr. Bower could do anythivy as a legislator,
and if we undertook to expose him, in the
estimation of that modest, unassuming and
veritable sheet, the True Democrat, we
would he attacking his private character!
Ihe people have been misled long
enough by such trickery, and if the tax
payers desire to be more faithfully represen
ted in the next legislature than they were
in the last, they will not vote for Dr. Bower,
in support of what we have said we shall
give his votes, with some of his promises
previous to the election, and if necessary the
names of prominent democrats to whom
these promises were made. These arc
sledge hammer arguments that will speak
for themselves.
IH. BOWER AM) TUfc I'HOPLK.
Dr. Bower voted for the free whiskey
bill.
Br. Bovver voted for that grand specula
tion giving the Sunbury and Brie Bailroad
Companythe remaining public works at a
far less price than they could have been
sold for, although he had authorized the
Democrat to say that he was opposed to giv
ing aid or the credit of the State to that
company in any shape.
Dr. Bower voted for the militia bill,
which will force the payment of 50 cents
per annum from a class of men to whom
that sum in times like the present is an
item of importance.
Dr. Bower showed himself to be unfit as
a legislator by reporting a bill legislating
honest and faithful men out of the Poor
House Direction, and passing it through
the House in undue haste. He also pro
cured signatures to petitions after lie had
reported that hill, by representing that
there was little or no opposition to it.
Dr. Bower was both bank and anti-bank.
]>r. Bower took 8200 extra pay over and
j above 8500 which the democratic papers
and conventions had previously condcni
, ued as extravagant.
The convention of officeholders and of
; fice hunters, recently assembled here, and
| calling themselves democrats, eudovsed "Dr.
i Bower's course as right and democratic,
i What say the People 't Arc such acts to
: their liking ?
I.ctter from North Carolina.
FAYETTEVILLE, N. C., March 2, 1850.
Dr. Seth W. Fowle :—Dear Sir—For two
| years past I havo been tnoro or less troubled
with a cough. During the past year I was
taken with a severe pain in the left side, ac
companied by a very bad cough, and a rais
ing of blood, probably a quart or more. In
addition to this, I sweat profusely at night,
which induced me to apply to a physician, but
received no permanent benefit. 1 then pro
cured a bottle of Wistar's Balsam of Wild
Cherry, which seemed to havo the desired ef
feet. I continued to use it, and my appetite,
which had been very poor, returned, and with
it my strength was restored. After taking
four bottles I was completely cured, aud have
enjoyed good health ever since.

The editor of the North Carolinian cheer
fully testifies to his knowledge of the truth of
Mr. Bell's statement iu regard to the efficacy
of the Balsam. None genuine unless signed !

The following resolutions were then re
ported by the committee and unanimously
adopted :
W lierf.as. The citizens of this common
wealth will again, in a short time, be called
upon to perform the important duty of voting
for certain important principles ; and whereas,
the coming election is one of great importance
to the farmer, mechanic and laborer, because
of the heavy pressure that is now operating
against all classes of industry ; And, inhere-as,
we believe this heavy pressure was brought
about by those now in power, by the repeal
ing of the Salutary Tariff of"l42; aiul,
whereas , the present administration, by its
actions in regard to the admission of Kansas
as a State, shows that it favors the extension
of slavery, and is opposed to the true princi
ciples of a republican government; therefore,
we, citizens of Miltliu county, assembled in
county convention, express our views in re
gard to the general condition of our country,
and to prepare for the ensuing election.
Resolved, That the present Administration
has shown, by its Kansas policy, that it is
hostile to the first principles of a Republican
government—that it lias grossly violated its
ud deserve? the censure of a free
and enlightened people.
Resolved, That it was with pleasure we
heard the voice of freedom, corning from
Kansas, declaring the rejection of the Lc
coinpton constitution, Knglish bribe and all,
by an overwhelming majority—thatthethanks
ot the friends of freedom are due to the voters
of Kansas for their fearlessness in placing the
seal of condemnation upon James Buchanan
and his unrighteous administration.
"Resolved, That the reckless expenditure of
the public money by the present administra
tion, and the many instances of fraud upon
the public, by its hired agents, (as lately
demonstrated) and the means by which it has
sought to tyranize over public opinion, are
but few of the many proofs of its corruption."
Resolved, 'I hat we place no confidence in
the many repeated attempts of our opponents
to delude into the belief that they are in favor
of a Protective Tariff, when it is clearly
known by every voter that they in former
tiroes made the same promises, which, at the
time, were believed by many ; but that those
who did heed their false representations, were
deluded. " fhey deceived us ouce, shame on
them. If they deceive us twice, shame on
us."
Resolved, That with the advocates of a
sound tariff in Philadelphia, wo believo that
all the events now occurring, as well as all
those which havo occurred in this last half
century, may be adduced in proof of the accu
racy of the views of Jefferson, when he de
clared that protective duties were necessary
to prevent us from falling into a state of co
lonial dependence; of Madison, when ho told
his countrymen that it was not only constitu
tional but expedient to institute a revenue
system, having for its object the protection of
our own planters, our farmers and our work
men ; of Jackson, when he told the farmers
and planters that if they would have good
markets for their products, tliey could do it
only by means ol measures looking to an in
crease in the number and vnrietv of the chan
nels of industry; of Clay, Webster, Clayton,
and a host ol other illustrious patriots, who
have so frequently reiterated to their country
men the great truth, that prosperity to the
j State was to be obtained only by means of
measures looking to the transfer of our work
shops from the soil of Europe to our own.
Resolved, That it is our determination at
the coming election to vote for no man for
Congress who is not in favor of the restora
| tion of the system so ably advocated by those
great men; that with the Hon. James T.
Hale of Centre county for our candidate, we
will go to the polls, knowing that we have a
man in whose honesty, integrity, ability and
unwaveringfirmness, wchaveeveryconfidence,
and therefore heartily approve of the instruc
i tions given to the Congressional Conferees,
at our late County meeting, in his favor, as a
candidate for Congress in this congressional
district.
Resolved, That we recommend to the people
| of this county the candidates this day nomi
nated as deserving of their support, being
well qualified, honest and faithful.
Resolved, That Dr. Charles Bower, in his
votes on all the principal acts before the Leg
islature, has not represented the wishes of the
people of this county, nor, in giving them,
consulted " the greatest good to the greatest
number,'' thus showing that, instead ef being
the representative of the people, he is but the
voice of a faction.
FROST IN AUGUST. —Ferguson's valley,
Big valley, Decatur, and other localities in
this county, were visited with a frost on
Tuesday morning last. We have not heard
that much injury was sustained in conse
quence thereof, the weather being very dry,
but this early indication of cold nights cre
ates strong fears that the only good crop
our farmers are likely to realize this year,
namely, corn, will also be injured.
CAMP MKKTING. —The camp meeting
for Lewistown Circuit commenced on Fri
day last and terminated yesterday. Some
twcnty-fbur tents were up, most of them
filled to overflowing. The number of per
sons in attendance on Sunday was large,
and everything we believe passed off in
a satisfactory manner, though we opine the
cold nights would have been more agreeably
passed at home. On Friday next the camp
near Reedsvillc commences. Both these
camps are located in rather out-of-the-way
places—a mistake we think.
Bridge over the canal at this
place was repaired in a very substantial
manner last week by the hands in the em
ploy of the Canal Department of the Penn
sylvania Railroad Company. This action
is in marked contrast with the state of things
©
existing while the canal was owned by the
State, so much being wanted for "stealings,"
that in almost every instance difficulties of
sonic kind were started-—boroughs beim_ r
asked to contribute, funds or authority
wanting, or some other excuse. Quite a
number ot farm and other bridges we no
tice have been either repaired or rebuilt,
and we have no doubt before long people
along the canal will find that while the
I company will claim its rights, rhc rights off
j others will also be respect< <l.

NKW LOTTERY DOIMIE.—The following
< is a copy of u circular received by until
yesterday morning. It L dated
BALTIMORE, August 2->, 1858. J
Lear Bir—We regret you failed to purchase
the package of tickets we wrote you about
some time ago. The same drew a prize of

cial drawings of that date. Our object then ;
and now is to sell a good prize in your local

do so has again arrived, for we have the very
I same lucky package of 120 tickets in the Oar
roll (Jo. Lottery, class 11, drawing September
23d. See lull scheme within. The cost is I
{ just the same—only £lO.
This preference offered the second time i
