depended on the renomination or rejection of the old Members, Messrs. Sidle, Eckert, and Wilson. In their opposition to these Cameronians, the poor Old Hunkers completely broke down.It is said that they could raise but three voles against the renomination, Mr. Small, of The Gazette, Mr. Kraft, of Codorus, himself an ex- Member, who was unceremoniously set aside two years ago to make room for Mr.

Wilhams, of The Press, and Mr. Herbert, of Fawn, also an ex- Member. If, therefore, the Democratic ticket should succeed, the four votes of York county, including that of Senator Haldeman, will be cast for Cameron of Lochiel" for United States Senator. But if the ticket shall succeed, we venture to predict that it will not he through any extraordinary exertions on the part of The Gazette. The gentlemen who have thus been almost unanimously presented to the people as candidates for the Legislature, have served one session: and their public and official acts, upon which they ought to sucdeed or fail, are well known.

They are opposed to Prohibition. With a single exception, they all supported the principles and measures of the Democratic party, and opposed those of the Whigs. The exception to which we refer, is the sale of the Public Works. Messrs. Eckert, and Wilson voted for the Sale, and Mr.

Sidle opposed it. It is, we as decided Anti- Probibitionists and political partisans that they will be supported and opposed. This article is already too long for the subject of it, and we can afford a special.n notice of only one other nation, which has given rise to a good deal of talk. When Samuel Forscht, announced himself as a candidate for the Sheriffalty, almost everybody laughed at him; and now he has been settled by a decided majority of the Convention. We frequently hear persons express surprise that our old friend received the nomination.

But for our part, we can see nothing surprising in it. It is just such a nomina-4 tion as we would expect from the Con- vention. Men do not gather grapes from thorns, nor figs from thistles.Samuel Forscht has more sense, and has always been a more useful citizen, than William It. Kurtz, who has been twice nominated by Democratic Conventions for Congress What cause, then, is there for special wonder that the late Convention settled Mr. Forscht for Sheriff? We beg Mr.

Forscht's pardon for this comparison; but we really do not know how we could place the justification of his nomination in a stronger light. Sammy seems to have a run of good luck. He gained his lawsuit contrary to everybody's expoctation; and he has now been nominated for Sheriff also contrary to every body's expectation. But he may discover that Fortune is a fickle goddess. If defeated, he will not be the first man that was ron off the settled Democratic ticket by one of the candidates now in the field.

It would extend this article to too great a length to notice particularly tife other nominations for county offices.It is certain that the Convention was not guided in its choice by the fitness and qualifications vi the candidates. It is doing, however no more than justice to the men it the Convention say to of COn. sion for old ad off- disappointed otice. hunter. st.

Under the title of Bubbles of Baltimore" The Patriot is publishing a series of articles which in a free and easy style expose and ridicule some of the follies and vices of that city. The following remarks are just as applicable here as in Baltimore. There can be no sadder and more melancholy spectacle than a group of young men of respectable appearance, standing round a bar. drinking, and showing in their whole havior an niter callousness to the shame which the act ought to make them feel. Let us make relentless war upon that odious, degrading, and abominable habit, peculier to America and Americans -tippling at the bar.

There is in proportion, so fur as we have seen, less of this vice in Baltimore than in either New York, Philadelphia or Boston, or than in any other Southern city. Still, bar rooms and res. pectable bar room tipplers, are much to frequent among 115. We do not speak. of hard drinkers, so called--but few, out artel immedi ale circles of fast' city life have any idea of the amonnt of liquor that an American gentle'man' deems it necessary to drink in the course of the day.

Let us see: a drink before breakfast; two drinks between breakfast and eleven o'clock; four to six, (and often eight or ten,) drinks all between lunch and dinner. If there 18 no wine at dinner, (which is getting too expensive for these economical times.) our gentleman at least takes a glass of brandy and water, 'after merely to promote digestion. After this, three or four roore drinks betore tea lime, and then out to a stag (men thus muddled with drink are naturally fraid of going into the society of women,) and then brandy ani water, ad libilum. until midnight. This may appear to the uninitiated au exaggerated picture; but it is one that every fashionable barkeeper in Baltimore can allest.

It is really monstrons. With such habits and pactices ainong our young mnen, what ought society not to apprehend for its future well-be. ing his interest in The Frederick Herald to John C. O' Neal Sheriff of she coonty. The editorial department will in the future be conducted by J.

A. Lynch, a talented member of the Krederlick bar. Africans at Home last Quarterly Review an article this subject which we have read with considerable interest. The writer gives an account of the mural and social condition of the negroes inhabiting the gold coast and the adjnining countries at the time they were first discovered by the Portuguese, and compares their condition then with what it is now, as given by Mr. John Beecham, of the London Weslevan Mission The comparison shows that, though they have had intercourse with the civilized nations of the earth for four centuries, though missionaries have labored earnestly and zealously in their behalf, their coudition remains the same, In fact, we cannot conceive how at could have been worse at any time than what it is represented to be now by this article, as given by Mr.

Beecham, the concluding portion of which we give below: Scarcely has one of their barbarous and bloody customs been abandoned, from the earliest period of which anything is known of them. They still pave their court yards, palaces and even the streets or market places of their villares or towns, with the skulls of those butchered in war, at feasts, fonerals, or as sacrifices to Bossumn. Still their wives and slaves are buried live with the deceased husband or master. When: Allahanzen died, two hundred and eighty of his wives were butchered before the arrival of his successor; which put a stop to it only flow of bicod and the number of deaths in other ways, The remaining living wives were buried alive! amidst dancing, singing and bewailing; the noise of horns, drums, muskets, yelle, groans, and screechings; the women, anarching by headless trunks, bedaubed them. selves with earth and blood.

Their victims were marched along with large knives passed through their cheeks. The executioners. struggle for the office while look on and endure with apathy. They were too familiar with the horrid sacrifice to show terror, or to imagine that all was not as it should be.Their hands were first chopped off, and then their heads sawed oil, to prolong the amusement Even some who assisted to fill the grave were bustled in alive, in order to add to the sport or solemnity of the scene. Upon the death of a King's brother four thousand victims were thus sacrificed.

ceremonies are often repeated, and hundreds slaughtered at every rehearsal. Upon the death of a King of Ashantee, a general massacre takes place, in which there can be no computation of the victims. At their Yarn Mr. Bowditch witnessed spectacles of the inost appalling kind.Every caboccer, or noble, sacrificed a slave as he entered the gate. Heads and skulls formed the ornaments of their processions.

Hundreds were slain; and the streaming and steaming blood of the victims was mingled in a vast brass pan, with various vegetables and animal matter, fresh 88 well as putrid, to compose a powerful fetiche.At these customs the same scenes of butchery and slaughter occur. The king's executioners, traverse the city, killing all they meet. The next day desolation reigns over the land. The king, during the bloody saturnalia, looked on eagerly and danced in his chair with delight. king of Dahomey paves the approaches to his residence and ornaments the battlements of his palace with the skulls of his victims: and the great foliche tree at Badingry has its widespread limbs laden with buman carcasses and limbs.

There the want of chastity is no dis. grace, and the priests are employed as pimps.Munder, adultery, and thievery, says. Bosman, are here no sins. The case of Qusque, given by our author, shows how vain is the hope of effecting a national regeneration by the education of Africans to the Christian ministry. In fifty years' residence at Cape Coast Castle he gained over wot one of his countrymen; and dying, showed his confistill in his fetiche, and not in Christian reposed, night Mr.

Beecham re. mark that the case of this individual furnishes matter for grave consideration on the part of those who are anxious to promote the ment and elevation of Africa' The picture given above is a gloomy one; and shows that there is no hope of the negroes of Africa emerging of themselves, or even by stant intercourse with civilized nations from barbarism into civilization. Honors to Dr. Philip Schaff The Following notice, from the Ger. Ref.

Messenger, of the 19th was inadvertently mislaid, otherwise it would sooner have appeared for the satisfaction of the learned Theologian's many friends and admirers. We learn from the Deutsche Kirchenfreund," that the Theological Faculty of the U. niversity of Berlin has unanimously conferred on Rev. Dr. Schaff, the title Doctor Theologic honoris causa proper eruditionem Theologicum, etc.

This is a mark of distinction which falls to the lot of but few. The title is conferred scarce. ly once in ten years. It is well deserved; and those who conferred it, know how to distinguish real merit. It seems also, that the Dr.

had the pleasure of dining with the king and queen of Prussia, on which occasion the Prime Minister von Manteufel, Count Alvensleben, the Minis. ter von Massow, Lieutenant General von Ger. Jach, Dr. Krummacher, and other distinguished personages were present. REVOLUTION IN At the very moment of our going to press an express has arrived from the city of Victoria, the former capital of the opposite State of Tamaulipas, to the effect that there had been a successlul break in that city, in which a talented young lawyer named Jose de la Garza had overcome the soldiers stationed there, and, at the head of five hundred unen, proclaimed himself Governor pro tem, of the State.

The doings of a nominating Convenlion which represented the party which has a majority in the county, be neither unimportant nor uninteresting. We shall, therefore, devote a portion of our paper to a notice of the character: and proceedings of the Democratic County Convention, which met, in this place, last Tuesday, and settled a ticket for the support of the at the next October election.

It is difficult to keep the run of all the little boroughs which have been incorporated in the county solely for the purpose of making votes in these Democratic Conventions. This unbuill-borough system--to compare small things with great-seems to furnish as unfair a representation as the celebrated "rotten-borough system" of England, and made the late Convention consist of eighty instead of seventy- four delegates as we had supposed. The most noticeable thing about the Convention, as regards its general character and composition, was the overwhelming majority the Barnburners, or, as they are sometimes called, the Young Democracy, had in it. This Conven: tion has established the fact that the Barnburners not only retain their supremacy in the county, but that they have completely routed the Old Hunkers, who scarcely made an expiring struggle in its proceedings. The first and politically the most important business which engaged the attention of' the Convention alter organusing, was the selection of a candidate for Congress.

And in this the Young Democracy showed themselves not only strong but saucy. The present incumbent, we understand, desired a renomination, not with a view of being a candidate, but as a compliment, and with the understanding that he would decline; and he had a string of resolutions drawn up, highly complimentary of himself, and approbatory of his action or rather, it must have been, 'of his inaction in Congress, which he wanted the Convention to adopt. But this cheap and empty compliment was refused. The Young Democracy are ambitious, and will have nothing to do with our say- -nothing and do-nothing Member. They repudiate him, and refuse to be held responsible for his inglorious, unhonored, and renownless official career.

After sounding the Delegates before the Convention met, and ascertaining that any attempt to compliment Mr. Kurtz would result in action of the opposite character, the proposition was abandoned, and his resolutions were not offered in the Convention. J. Ellis Bonham, of Carlisle, was then nominated -unanimously we believefor Congress. As the other counties of the district are in favor of Mr.

Bonham, there is no longer any doubt but that he will be the candidate. Whether it is because he is really a superior inan, or because he only appears so from the striking contrast he presents to the present incumbent, we must confess that we are pleased that the choice of the party has fallen on him. It is certainly not on account of his political principles. Them we detest, and deprecate their ascendency as the worst thing that befall the country. But we must confess that we would rather have a man in Congress who might do some harm, provided he be a man of respectable talents, than a man who could do no mischief, but whose incompetency would reflect dishonor on his district.The preference will not, of course, stand the test of rigid reason; but it gratifies that pride which we all more or less feel.

This feeling of pride will be satisfied by Mr. Bonham, who is, no doubt, a man of considerable ability, and, if elected, will occupy a respectable position in Congress. Then, too, he is no sham nor hypocrite in politics; and that commands our respect. He is not one of those Democrats who, while they profess to be opposed to banks and all other corporations, use their utmost exertions to procure seats in bank and railroad boards, speculate in corporation stocks, and avail themselves to the largest extent of bank facilities. Mr.

Bonham is opposed in practice as well as in principle to corporations, and has thus foregone those rich benefits which Locofoco politicians generally know 80 well how to derive from those soulless bodies. His opposition to the establishment of a bank in Carlisle, postponed the admission of his claims to Congress for at least two years. If, therefore, we must have a Locofoco Congressinan, we would much rather he should be such a man as Mr. Bonham, than such a man as Mr. Kurtz.

But we apprehend that the people of this Congressional district are not reduced to such a choice of evils. Within the district are men who are at once talented and sound in their principlesmen who are opposed to the Nebraska outrage, and whose learning and talents would command for them a respectable position in Congress. Such a man we hope will soon be presented to the voters of the district as a candidate for Congress. Next in importance in a political point of view, was the nomination of candidates for the State Legislature. As a United States Senator is to be elected next winter, the decision of the question whether the Democracy of York County is in favor of Gene Cameron, for that office, or some man of the Buthanan school, perhaps Old Buck himself, IMPROVEMENTS AT GOLDSBOROUGH.

la company with several other gentleinen we visited, last week, the village of Goldsborough, on the York and Cumberland railroad: and were surprised at the extent of business transacted, and the magnitude of the improvements that have been made there. few years ago the site of Goldsborough was known as "the Red Mill," and to the traveler on the turnpike it did not present a flourishing appearance.It was then purchased by a company of. which Dr. Small was and still is the leading member, and the town laid out. A number of neat houses have been built, including a large hotel, in whose style of architecture we recognise the taste of the proprietor.

But the houses are insuffcient for the accommodation of the families of the workmen who find employment in the town, and more houses will be put up next summer to meet the increasing demand. A large merchant mill has been built by the Messrs. Small, into which all the late improvements in mill machinery have been introduced. It is turned by (the waters of the Blue Moselle" -a new name given to Fishing creek, in which the traveled lore of the founder of the town will be perceived. It is, however, in the lumber business that we should think that Goldsbo ough is destined to make the greatest figure.

The superior landing on the banks of the river, and the railway facilities for sending sawed lumber to the large point it out as a place peculiarly adapted for sawmills. Mr. Isaac Fraser was the first to avail himself of the advantages of the place for this business.He built a steam sawmill on the bank of the river, from which he draws the timber immediately to his mill. He has been followed by a company who must have invested a large capital in a steam sawmill on a gigantic scale. To see the operations in this mill, from the sawing of ship decking, in which the largest logs are cut into plank by a gang of saws in a single passage through the mill, to the slitting of laths, is alone worth a visit to the place.

Evidently a large amount of capital and enterprise is employed in the improvements at Goldsborough; and the success which has attended the undertakings there is well merited. We regret that we forgot to inquire for the lot, for the purchase of which the President of one of our corporations has been negotiating with the Proprietors of the village, in order to give the world assurance of a responsible President in these troublous times of Schuylerism. We will to it, on our next visit; in the meantime we beg his pardon for our forgetfulness. SUDDEN MELANCHOLY DEATH. Last Wednesday alternoon, Mr.

Jaines F. Smith, of Wrightsville, in this county, in company with Mrs. Levergood, of the same place, left their homes for Baltimore, where they arrived in the evening, and were united in marriage. After breakfast on Thursday morning, Mr. Smith went to Smith's wharf to transact some business, where he was smitten with an epileptic or apoplectic stroke, and after lying a couple Lot hours in a state of unconsciousness, died at about a quarter before twelve.

Such is a short history of a man for less than a day: and it embraces his departure from home on a wedding excursion, with the feelings, no doubt, which usual. ly attend such joyous occasions--hi marriage--and his death. It teaches another lesson on the uncertainty of life, the disappointments of hope, and the instabiaty of all earthly things; and adds another solemn warning on the necessity of being always prepared for the messenger of death. Mr. Smith was a native of Lancaster county, but for the last twenty-one years of his life resided in Wrightsville, where he was successfully engaged in business as a merchant.

He was a man of strict business habits, amiable and unobtrusive in his manners, and always bore the character of unimpeachable integrity. He was the brother of Robert W. Smith, one of the Editors of The Wrightsville Stur, and of Mr. Samuel M. Smith, a merchant of Wrightsville.

He was in the 48th year of his age, and leaves to survive him a son by a previous marriage, about seven years old. While Mr. Smith was lying in a state of insensibility, he was seen and recognised by Mr. John A. Filbert, formerly of this place, who remained with him until he died, and kindly took charge of him after his death.

TAMPERING WITH JURORS. This criminal practice has been carried to an intolerable extent in this county. With-Grand Jurors especially has it been much practiced; thus corrupting Justice at its very source. It will perhaps not be given up until an example shall be make of some corrupt offender. We understand that at the approaching Sessions, the Court will be requested to ask the Giand Jurors on their oaths to state whether they have been spoken to out of doors about the merits of any indictment which is to be brought before them; and if so, by whom.

This may lead to some curious developments, and make it known how serious an offence it is to attempt to influence a Juror when coat of the Jury box. The steamer America arrived at Halifax on the evening of the 16th with -Liverpool dates te the 5th inst.The news from the Danube continues favorable to the allies; bot nothing decisive has yet taken place. On the morning of the 30th, it is stated the Russians attacked the Turkish and French camp at Giurgevo, and were, totally defeated with a loss of 2,000 killed, and a large number of prisoners.The Russians are retreating by forced marches. They had quilted Kateschi, and it was occupied by the Turks. The evacuation of Wallachia was completed.

A proclamation bad been issued declaring that all soldiers who remained behind would be considered as deserters. The Russian troops were being concentrated on the Sereth. The cholera was raging with great violence at Constantinople, and among the English soldiers. The London Times declares pointedly that a force of from 80,000 to 100,000 of English, French; and Turks will immediately invade Crimea, and endeavor to. effect a lodgement on the heights that command Sebastopol.

From Asia the reported defeat of the Turks by the Russians is confirmed. The Russians were besieging Kars. Since the 22d the blockade of the ports in the Gulf has been more vigorous, it not being possible that any vessel could enter or leave. The Emperor of Russia, Archduke Constautine, and the Archduchess had a narrow escape from being captured by an English steamer near Cronstadt. FOREIGN NEWS.

0G-If the Whig County Convention which is to meet here, next Tuesday, should not act wisely, it will not be for want of advice from the Locofocos and Prohibitionists. Both these parties seem anxious to take the Whigs under their guardianship, and are most disinterestedly pressing their advice on them. It is strange, the less meritorious, that the Locotocos and Prohibitionists should feel such a great interest Li the success of the Whigs. We are sure that the Whigs feel as grateful for this as they ought to feel. For The People's Adrocate.

It cannot be that he desires to continue and to perpetuale forever.

What then does he wish? What result can he be aiming at? He wants Taverns," Houses of Entertainment," and Travellers' Homes;" but the Protective Anti- Liquor Law which we are to have, does not aim ut the destruction of these houses; by no means: else we would join It your auns correspondent in opposing it. only to make those Houses still more really the Homes of travellers, by taking away their evil element, the sale of liquor at the bar, and so rendering them quiet, orderly, and Homelike, where a man may refresh himself in peace, pay honorably for his comforts, and then go his way rejoicing -a sober this will be the case under the new Protective law, we see at once; and then rowdy Taverns will be turned into respectable Taverns; quarrelsome Taverns will be turned into Peaceful Homes; the great temptation to quarreling fighting rath breaking and swedring and riot, will then be gone: and we shall have Taverns--like the three Taverns" near Rome--to which we can send a friend. and go ourselves, without danger of insult from the drunkea loafers about the door. Many an honest Landlord has said to me, that he was ready for the Prohibitory Law, for all he had to do was to drop the profit on the whiskey, and make it up on the board! Yes, and they would more than make it up in this way, and Tavernkeepers in Maine, Michigan, and Massachuselts are now coining money in this way. No danger of the Taverns suffering- only those that are really grog-shops would suffer--the rest would find their account in taking in hungry men to eat, instead of thirsty fishes to drink, and then we should have Travellers' Homes that were worthy of the name! Although your correspondent seems so determined to put liquor into all the taverns in order to make them comfortable Homes for the people, yet he self is evidently well aware of the iniquity of inducing them to deal out this liquid ruin, for he confesses to it, and says, It must be admitted that many of those Taverns become an injury to their neighborhood, by becoming gathering places for those fond of the drop to meet and indulge deeper and derper inthe woful habits of Yes.

It must indeed be admitted! Your correspondent knows enough under this head- of "injury to neighborhoods'-of the riotous meetings" of those fond of the drop- of the drink- "deeper and deeper" from the poisobous glass- -and of the most woeful habits of intoxication" formed at these Liquor Taverns -to make him a Temperance man, instead of an opponent to this cause of homanity and mercy, all the days of his life! But, "I am a Temperance man," says your correspondent, "only I wish to a- void extremes. The Maine Law project to plunge into extremes at once and fail. I wish to keep away from extremes. I am favorable to useful of every kind, but not in favor of extremes in any thing Now, your correspondent should have said, "I am in favor of extreme remedies in all extreme cases, except that of Intemperance." That would define his position exactly, and convict him of being not the friend but the biller foe of the Temperance Reform, and, consequently, anything 'a Temperance man. Here is a State overran by Gamblers.

The voung are becoming Gamblers.The old are devoted to Gambling. What to be done? Does your correspondent say, Be careful, gentlemen; we must not go too. fast in this business; we must not plunge into extremes and fail; we must avoid extremes; I am not in favor ol' extremes in any thing No indeed. But he says, wepmust resort to the most stringent measures at once: we will enact a law of Total Prohibition; and there is no such word Here are men who bring diseased meat to market-and our citizens buy, and eat, and are poisoned by dozensthey are remonstrated with- -but it is useless--you shall not interfere with their right to sell what they please; and others help them by saying, you shall not interfere with our rights to buy and eat what we please. Now what does your correspondent do? Does he say, We must not be hasty in this thing -it is a free country--a Prohibitory Law on this subject be antiRepublican-we must not go to tremes? No.

But be says, Prohibit this monstrous business at once; it is an extreme case; we must have an extreme remedy. But here 19 the cry of fire in our streets. A house is in flames. The lower story is consumed -the stairs are on fire--and your correspondent's son is in the chamber of the burning dwelling, unconscious of his danger. Your cor-, respondent comes to the scene--and as he sees the great engine rushing up, with its noble band of firemen.

prepared with hose and cold water to play upon the flames, does he cry stop, gentlemen, for mercy's sake, stop; be not so fast; you'll destroy every thing by this mad rushing into extremes? Or does he urge on the speed of the brave cold-water men, and continue to do so until his son is safe. Your correspondent may have been ill, during his long life. His life may have been in danger. What then was his request of his attending physician? That he would use gentle he would resort to nothing energetic? That he would in no turn of his disease resort to extreme measures for his safety? I trow not! But 84 he might be in extreme danger, he would prav that extreme wisdom might be given to his physician, and that he might not only be extremely cautious, but extremely energetic, in all he did for his restoration. Now, in all these cases, and in all extreme cases.

your correspondent is in favor of extreme measure -and it is only when we come to the extreme disease of intemperance, of which men are dying daily, that he objects to an extreme remedy-it is only when our children and our neighbots are berning up An the tires of intemperance that he deprecates excitement and haste to delive. them--it is only when our fellow are systematically poisoned by cohol, not by dozens; but by hundreas and thousands, that he warns us against enacting a Prohibitory law it--it is only when our sons are being swallowed up all around us, in tne Sex of Intoxication, that he thinks it horrid to check by law those who are drawing them into the abyss! What shall we say of such principles. Says your correspondent, We must have spirituous fo: various purposes true, IL imme, we must have them for various purposes, an! we can have them for varion- purposes under the Maine Law, just freely as we bave them now! The Maine Law says expressly, that we may have liquors for Medicinal purposes. and for Chemical purposes, and for Mechanical purposes, and for Sacramental purposes and for what other purposes your sober and cautious can want them, or can wish others ty have them, is more than I can Can it be that he wants them as a daily beverage? Or that he wishes others to use them as a beverage? no! The very thought is treason. Why then, in the name of mercy and religion, why if he does not want liquors for common drink, is be so dreadfully opposed to the Maine law, which allows them for every other purpose! Our friend says he "is not opposed to progress:" but after reading his two articles, I am of the deliberate opinion that his progress has been progress in the wrong direction for several years.Both his articles show that all the progress he is in favor of in the temperance cause, is progress backward, toward the barrooms and brew houses of a mast generation.

His ideas of progress remind me of the ant -temperance talk of another of our aged and respectable citizens in the Rev. Mr. Lochnian's Lecture Room a few years ago. There was no virtue without temptation, he said, and there-. fore he wanted the temptation of the Liquor and Beer Houses, to try and strengthen the virtue of the people, and, for his part, he was in favor of going back to the good old times that preceded the Temperance panic, when rum-selling was in the hands of Christian men, and Tavern keeping was a Respectable Business! Messes.

Editors, we want no such progress as this: we have had too much of it already. The aristocracy of ling has had its advocates long enough to in our community--we now intend advocate the republicanism of the rights of the people. The people have been misled by pretended temperance men long enough; we now intend to assert our rights, and to have a Law which will protect, and which alone will effectually protect ourselves and our children, JUSTICE. has.
