FOR the LANCASTER DEMOCRAT. Col. J. Carter Dear Sir, As a consistent and old-fashioned Democrat, I begin to feel some anxiety in regard to the nominations to be made by the County Delegate Convention, and as we should be careful to have none upon our ticket but staunch and determined Republicans, I take the liberty to name Dr. Francis A.

Thomas, of this Borough, as one most suitable for a representative of Democratic men and measures in our next Legislative Assembly. His claims are those of an old, firm, consistent, and unwavering Democrat, and merits the highest consideration of the party which he has served so long and faithfully. Jefferson. Columbia, August 9th, 18l5. What a soaking shower on Sunday night The weather continues warm.

THIS is generally acknowledged to be by far the most powerful company in the world, being composed of over 120 Men and Horses.

1 he renown and fortune won by the Managers of this Company in Boston, during their long stay in the metropolis of New England, has induced a belief that they are not unknown to the citizens of this place, and therefore limit their remarks to a narrow space. business matters, Lancaster, August 12. We have no changes to notice in the price of grain or other produce. Money continues abundant for those who do not want it, anu particularly scarce for those who have notes to meet, and pressing bills to satisfy. There is considerable activity among our mechanics, and as soon as the workmen are fairly engaged in the erection of our cotton factory, we will commence reaping some of the first fruits of the attempt to convert Lancaster into a manufacturing city.

Corn in demand at advanced rates. Oats are down to 32. Beef Cattle, per pound, 4 to 5. Cows and calves, per head, $12 to $25. Sheep, $1,50 to $3.

We believe that before the lapse of many months that State securities will be in the neighborhood of 90, but not higher. Forty millions of a debt is no trifling sum; and as it now takes extraordinary efforts to meet the semiannual interest, when no heavy appropriations are required for repairs, we are not surprised that confidence is but partially reposed in the ability of our State to meet her engagements in full. Pennsylvania without doubt will meet all her engagements but.it will take some time to convince capitalists of that fact.

Mechanic! Institute. The saloon of the Mechanics Institute has been recently refitted and repainted, and is now one of the largest and most elegant rooms to be found in the country. We hardly know how to describe the interior of this really beautiful saloon. The side walls are finished in panel work and the ceiling is elegantly decorated with paintings, in oil, of at least one dozen gods and goddesses in their summer costume. At the south end of the room we discovered full length portraits, in the antique style, of Washington and Franklin.

Theirgrave features, and Homan togas, will doubtless, for many years to come, exercise a restraining influence over such of our young folks as may visit the Institute for pleasure or amusement. The artist, Mr. Armstrong, deserves the thanks of our community for the skill and taste he has displayed. Sporting nymphs, plump goddesses, imposing pilasters, portraits of the loved and lost, to say nothing of the glareandglitterof chandeliers, will add not a little to the excitement of our Cotillions next winter. The saloon will be thrown open for the inspection of the public to-morrow evening; on which occasion it will be splendidly illuminated.

It would not have been a bad idea to have re-opened the saloon with a sociable hop, although the nights just now are not the coolest we ever experienced. Before we conclude, we must remind the mechanics of Lancaster that this Institute was established for their social and intellectual improvement; and that thus far it has languished for the want of a general and generous support. There is a library attached to tho institution which contains over sixteen hundred volumes, and yet there are but few apprentices in this city who avail themselves of one of the certain means by which they can become, in time, useful, respected, and influential citizens. We hope that a meeting of the mechanics of Lancaster city will be called immedi' ately for the purpose of adopting and put ting into execution such efficient measures as will secure the objects for which the Institute was founded. Meetings are constantly held for the purpose of promoting the interests of miserable office-holders or office-beggars; cannot one be held for the benefit of a class whose brawny arms bring wealth and dignity to the State, and comfort and security to our firesides?

E. C. Darlington for an alleged libel upon Mr. John Wise humph (Is it libellous to say humph?) The other libel case3 had not been reached when we put our paper to press. These are ticklish times for editors and publishers; and we therefore wish it to be distinctly understood that we have the most exalted respect, and the most profound admiration, for every man, woman, and child in this city in this county in this state and in this Union.

And we hereby retract every thing that we have written, said, sung, or done, which can be tortured into unkindness, or censure, or in any way af. fecting private or public character. These libel suits have completely removed from our mind untold of clouds of prejudice. We believe that Nick Biddle was an honest man that Lewis Levin is an immaculate patriot and that Jimmy Clark would refuse an office. We believe that the Republican has the largest circulation of any paper on the Polk side of the Atlantic that Major Figg killed Tecumseh that the editor.of the Muncy Olive Branch did not vote for Harrison and that there is such a person as Mr Roorback.

Better believe all these things than to be obliged to pay a protracted visit to our frirnd Sheriff Ehler. City Meeting In consequence of some disagreement or misunderstanding between the Managers of the Cotton Factory Company and the Councils, a meeting was held in the Court House, on Friday evening last, for the purpose of ascertaining public sentiment in relation to the question in dispute. It was contended that the Councils had agreed to furnish the proposed Factory with water for pprpetuity, in consideration of the sum of seventy-five dollars, per annum and that by the passage of a subsequent ordinance, raising the price, and limiting the time, the contract had been violated. The councils were of the opinion that no regu'ar contract had been made; and that they bad no right to enter into engagements which would be binding on posterity. At an eaily hour of the evening spoken of, the Court House was filled with anxious and interested spectators.

The meeting was called to order by George Ford, and was finally organised by the appointment of the lion. E. Schaeffer as President, and George 'll. Eomberger as Secretary. The following gefitlemen were appointed a committee to draft resolutions expressive of the sense of the meeting George Ford, Col.

W. B. Fordncy, Peter Reed, Col. J. F.

Carter, and Dr. G. B. Kerfoot. The repotted resolutions were in substance, that the original contract should he-adhered to, provided, the period of the water grant did not exceed thirty-five year3.

The resolutions were reported by the Chairman of the Committee, Mr. Ford, prefaced by a few pointed and appropriate remarks. They were ably supported by Dr. Kerfoot in a speech of considerable length. The Doctors remarks were sensible, well-timed, and made a visible and a favorable impression upon the audience.

As soon as he had taken his seat, there was a call for Judge Hayes. The Judge was in favor of the compromise resolutions, although he was of opinion that a contract had been entered into by the Councils, and the Councils could be held to that contr act. A copy of his honors speech should be procured for publication, as it is highly important at the present time that the facts which it contained should be in the possession of every citizen of Lancaster. He spoke of the former prosperity of ou.t city, and stated, what will be new to many of our readers, that Lancaster enjoyed a greater and a more profitable tradu, thirty or forty years ago, than she does at the present time and that she could not remain in her present condition, as she must either advance or recede. He said that the town of Newburyport, Mass achusetts, a few years ago, in some respects, resembled the present condition of Le.ncaster.

As late as 1838, owing to a variety of causes, the once flourishing tovrn of Newbury port, was reduced to a distressed state. She had lost her commerce -was losing her population houses were tenantlcss, and what is so unusual in an American town, the grass was growing in her streets. While in this almost hopeless condition, a few capitalists of Boston proposed to erect cotton factories in Newburyport, in order to restore to that town her former prosperity. The good work was commenced in 1S38, when that town contained a population of some five thousand souls. Now there are several factories in successful operation in Newburyport giving employment to hundreds and hundreds of operatives affording large dividends to their owners and causing a languishing place of five thousand inhabitants to spring up into a large and flourishing town with over twelve thousand inhabitants.

The Judge was of opinion that Lancaster was more favorably situated for the manufacture of cotton than Newburyport; and that if we engaged in the great work before us with spirit, and yet with prudence, the day would not be far distant when Lancaster could boast of a population of thirty thousand. The Judges speech elicited great applause, and deservedly so. we think. It was gentlemi nly in its tone; convincing in its statements; fair in its deductions; and through the whole remarks there ran a spirit of devotion to the true interests of our city. Thaddeus Stevens, here offered an amendment to tho reported resolutions which called for the execution of the original contract.

He advocated the amendment at length, and with great power; for speak when he may, in a good cause, or in a bad cause, Mr. Stevens always enlists the attention of his audience, is generally eloquent, and is often great. Sensible speech es were made by Jacob B. Amwakc, and Dr. P.

Cassidy, in defence of the course adopted by the Councils. Their remarks were called lor were made in excellent taste and in a good spirit and we were pleased to observe that they produced a salutary effect upon the audience. The concluding speech we believe was made by Mr. Ford, which was received with marked approbation. Mr.

Stevens' amendment was finally put to the meeting and prevailed by an almost unanimous voice. In the course of the evening, Mr. John Wise favor-'d the meeting with a speech, not at all calculated for the mcridiun in which it was delivered. He forgot that lie was addressing a meeting composed of men of sense and intelligence, and who were brought together from a laudable spirit of public enterprise; and that low-demngogue-ical appeals could find no favor there. Wc hope Mr.

Wise' future speeches will be influenced in some slight degree hy tho time, place, and occasion. Turn CamiIimie. One R. II. Morton is the Native candidate for Canal Commissioner Who is he Of course ho will be elected.

It gives us great pleasure to state, that the differences which have existed within the last few days between the Councils and the Factory Company, in gelation to a supply of water, have been satisfactorily adjusted. At a meeting of the Councils on Monday evening last, an ordinance was passed, (which meets with the entire approval of the stockholders of the Company,) granting the use of the city water to the Factory for thirty-five years, in consideration of seventy-five dollars per annum. The Managers will now commence bperations in earnest. Already a committee is on a visit to the eastern States for the purpose of contracting for a portion of the machinery; and we understand that workmen will commence digging the foundations of the Factory this morning. At the commencement of all great undertakings we must expect difficulties and in the present instance it is a matter of congratu" lation that the difficulty was of so trifling a character and so promptly overcome.

fledges to the Whigs. Nearly the whole of the editorial matter which appears in yesterdays Intelligencer, (and which occupies about one column of that paper,) is devoted to low, personal abuse of the Hon. Simon Cameron and his friends. Neither a decreasing subscription list the almost weekly rebukes of the democratic press of this State nor the open and marked disapprobation of the democracy of Lancaster city and county, has had the slightest effect in restraining the abuse or wailings of the desperate, reckless office hunters, who now control this once respected, respectable, and influential sheet. With the departure of our friend Forney, departed all that decency and talent which made the Intelligencer under his auspices so acceptable to the democracy of this county.

Even on the eve of an election for delegates to the County Convention, when union, harmony, and good feeling should prevail in our ranks, our contempo-rary still rears its disorganising flag, and still pursues a course which must in the end have the effect of swelling the numbers of our political opponents. It is not our desire, as our readers by this time must be aware, to keep up a controversy which can result in no good to either party. But whether that controversy is likely to prove injurious or beneficial, for one we will not remain silent, while repeated efforts are making to injure the standing, assail the reputation, and to blacken the character of our purest democrats. We will pass over the Intelligencers vulgar allusion to the Middletown Bank, and of its impertinent familiarity when speaking of one occupying, and worthily occupying, a high official station and briefly proceed to answer the charge that General Cameron stands pledged to sustain measures against the democracy. General Cameron, before his election, gave a pledge that he would sustain the tariff of 1S42; and in doing so, he was bnt carrying out the wishes of the democracy of Pennsylvania, openly and unequivocally stated during the late presidential and gubernatorial contests.

The distribution question is purely a local one to be advocated or opposed according to ones location in the Union. But, say the diaorgari-isers, General Cameron received whig votes, and in consequence he must be tainted with federalism. This is the silliest of all arguments, and is scarcely worthy of serious reply. The Intelligencer never thought of doubting Judge Champneys democracy; and yet Judge Champneys was elected to the State Senate by whig votes. Nay, more.

lie was elected by a bargain with the enemy. Fledgrs were required, and pledges were given. Prior to the election of Judge Champneys, did not a committee representing the whigs of West Earl township call upon the Judge and demand of him certain pledges before they would vote for him Did not Judge Champneys assure the said whig committee, that in case of his election to the Senate, that he oould consider him.nl the representative of a whig and anti-masonie county? That, to bo sure, he would be obliged, when he got to Harrisburg, to vote for the democratic candidates for the ditferent offices of the Senate, but that in all other things he would pursue an independent course, regardless of the trammels of party? We make these inquiries in no spirit of unkiadness towards Judge Champneys; but to show (if report speaks truly,) that he bas sinned, and sinned without censure or punishment, and hitherto without detection. We admire the Judge for his many estimable qualities, and respect him for his attainments and he must blame himself, therefore blame the malignant opposition of his friends if wc are constrained to allude to matters which the interested parties would gladly bury in oblivion. We are willing that a parallel should be drawn between General Cameron's election and Judge Champney's election, ami to let cither stand or fall, in the estimation of the democracy of Lancaster, According to the ability of cither to remove tho suspicion of having given pledge to political opponents.

If tho peculiar friends of the Intelligencer desire it, we are ready to malt further developments, ready to prove to the entire satisfaction of the democracy of Lancaster. bot the one or two individuals in loin cry who have made themselves conspicuous by their oppotition to Gen.

Is to form one of the splendid features of their entertainments.

This spectacle, which is celebrated throughout the United States, from its unparalleled success in Eoston, where it was played for more than fifty nights, represents the festive customs of the Spaniards in the first dawn of chivalry. Its originality, royal magnificence of costumes, housings and equipments, select steeds, richly attired ladies, and armed knights, with its inspiring scenes and soul stirring music, have made it what the general rumor-the first spectacle of the age In the course of the pageant the famous horse BLACK VULTURE, disguised as a Bull, will appear in his part of JASON, The Bull," in the scenes illustrating a Spanish Bull Fight! The intense excitement pertaining to this striking representation, so entirely different from any thing ever before heard of in the Arena, was the cause of its undeclining popularity from the first up to the present hour. Its paraphernalia is entirely new and gorgeous, and materially aids the sublime effect of the whole. For a more definite account see the bills. THE RTVEA FAMILY.

Thece justly styled human phenomenons, whose career in Europe was one series of the most decisive triumphs, and whose feats in New-Yoik and Poston drew lengthy and liberaal encomiums from the first Journals of the age, have been engaged at a high expense-hy the managers. The Horsemanship by Master R. Rivea, and acts on the Polandcr's Ladder, on which he stands for full five minutes on his hpad, are miraculous displays of his various powprs. The Gymnirnl trials, feats on the CORD zERIAL, and classic Union o( Statuary by the three Brothers are the mot surprising sceriesol physical power, flexibility, quickness, daring precision and grace, ever seen combined, and have laid the foundation of the future fortunes of these sublime and almost supr-rhuman artists.

FEMALE EQUESTRIANS. This department of the Establishment is unusually strong and brilliant, being composed of the best female artists which this country can afford, and some of them are not to be matched on the classic shores of Europe.

Mr. W. COLE, the only true representative of the mythological god Proteus, the first po-turer in the world and the most versatile, will display by bodily transformations the supernatural shapes of the Chinese and Burmese gods. This man is a wonder even to his rivals who accord him the palm of immeasurable superiority. Mr.

HENRY NEEDHAM, the most experienced and reliie-d Equestrian Manager living, the pupil of the illustrious Ducrow of England, is the chief director of all spectacles and minor scenes in this arena. His single name is a host and a guaranty that the arrangements are excellent. HIRAM W. FRANKLIN, styled the American Apollo, from the symmetrical and imposing beauty of his face and figure, is perhaps the best general perfor mcr living: being eminent as a horseman, Vaulter, Antipodal Athlele, Clown, Panto-mimist and on the black Rope. He is famous also for his Double Leaps and Double Sommerscts, in which last he turns his body in the air twice completely round before alighting W.
