Trading Votes.

We are informed by some of our democrat
ic friends that the Know Nothings are propo-
posing to sacop rates with them. That is to
vote for some one of our candidates, if the dem
ocrats will vote for some one of theirs. We
warn democrats against such offers. Are not
our opponents sworn to vote for their own
candidates? Is it not plain then as to who
would get the worst Of the bargain. aH1
The elective franchise is one Of the highest
prerogntives of an American citizen, and should
be SO viewed and exercised, with freedom, dig
nifty, and manincss, at oil times, and under all
circumstances. If our opponents who have as
sumcd to themselves exclusive 1mericaaism. arc
disposed to lower and impair this exalted Amer.
lean principle, by converting it into commod.
ity for speculation and trade, why let them do
it. 1t has ever been the aim of the great ma
tlonal democracy, to uphold and sustain, in
their lofty emincncc, all those great and emo
bling principles and distinguished characteris-
ties of our republican form of government,
which have already added such glorious renown
and brilliant lustre to the American nation and
people, and they will continue to do so. Dem
ocrats to the polls Stand By yor prineip'es

AT a regular meeting of st. Helena Lodge
No. 96 Of Free and accepted Masons held in
the town Of Grccnsburg, October 9th, 1855,
the following Preamble and resolutions were
unanimously adopted. 9l a- nfn a4o 0.
WHEREAS, the Grand Master Of the Universe,
in pursuance Of his inscrutabc wisdom, has
been pleased to take from among u.s. our wor-
thy and beloved brother Augustin D. Taylor,
who departed this life at his late residence
in East fcliciana, La, on Thursday the 4th
inst; and whereas the grand Ruler Of the
universe in the dispcnsation Of an all-wisc
Providence has been pleased to send this sad
bereavement, on his wife and children; his rel.
atives and friends and upon us, his Masonic
brethren. i9el0W US "1f8 ti
BE it therefore Resoired That in the denth
of brother Taylor, this Lodge has lost one Of
its earliest, best, and most efficient members
and the order Of Free Masons bright and
useful ornament. utoi te4rl TH iAfH
Resofved, That We deeply sympathizc with
the wife and children the relatives and friends
Of our departed brother, in whom they have
lost kind and afectionate husband, fond
and indulgent father o warm and devoted
friend n
Resolred, That we oil deplorc his death and
that in it, society has lost most valuable cit
izcn--a just and honest man. As a mason he
was pure, Jealous and faithful, as friend, al
ways true frank, kind and generous. As q
citizen prompt and efficient in the discharge Of
his duties. As pman Of charity and bcncvo-
lcnec, the widow and the orphan can testify
that he never tnrned q deaf ear to distress, nor
sent them empty away. luaH aNN
Resoired, That as u tribute of respect to our
departed brother, the members Of this Lodge
will wear the usual badge ofmourning for thir-
ty days .lsU-I.THAu ". l.r..NN

for me, southern man, to withdraw that could
never, rs a stakeholder fraternizc with party,
whose principles were antagonstical TO the insftu
ti0ns OF the SOUTH and that could never sacrifice
the principles of the elective franchise guaranteed
to every freeman, to the mandates Of party; that
could never sign away that boon, for which our
forefathers of the revolution fought, INDEPENDENCE,
the greatest and highest privilege of which is, to
vote according to the dictates Of his Judgment
To have your vote controlled by party oaths and
obligations, will do for the scrs of Europe, but will
never be supported and countenanced by free and
enlightened American people. Foot did not answer

DEMOCRATIC VICTORIES.

The full returns from the late elections show
that Know Nothingism is dead, and it is a for
tnnate thing for the people that it had polit-
ical, and not a physical being, for in the latter
case, the stencil ofits reekng corruption would
breed a pestilence in the land
PENYsyLvANIA.-La year, Pollock, X. n,
was elected Governor by majority of over
80, 900 votes. This year, Palmer, the demo-
cratic nominee for Canal Commissioner, the
only person who who was voted for by general
ticket, has been elected by majority not less
than $4,000 votes, showing democratic gain
Of 45,000l The anti-Know Nothing naiori-
ty in the Legislature will be very large. In
the city and county of Philadelphia, our friends
have carried all the local officers such as Sher-
if, Register of Wills, &c. The gain in two
counties alone was $4,000! The cities of
Pittsburg and Allegany have also given, for
the first time within. our memory, heavy major
tiles for the. democrats, while the old Wing
county of Lancaster, which was accustomed
to rival Democratic Berks in her 1900 major
lily, was at last accounts, thought to be nearly
1t tie. The old Keystone is right again; and
the thunder of her mighty Democratic gain
will reverberate through the land. Her hon
est sons may be misled for time by spec,
ious prctences, but they are too honest and too
devoted to the cause Of political truth to re-
main long in error
OHIo-This State has gone for Niggcrism
and Chase; result due to the Fusion, with
the Abolitonists, Of the great mass of those
Know Nothings whose victories over the dem
ocratic party, one year ago, was the source of
such ecstatic delight to the Bee, the Crescent
and the Creole But all is not black even in
Ohio; for,
CINCINNATI, the Queen City of the West,
together with Hamilton county, rolled up the
almost incredible majority for Medill, the dem

that her majority against Know Nothings, and
its allies Abolitionism, Free-soilism, and Com

south, to herself, and above all, to the consti-
tution and her return to the ranks of the de-
mocratic army, will be welcomed with a shout

her favorites, j. d. Bright, A. p Willard and

Narrow Escape.

The Oswego Palladium of Friday relates
the following incident of the recent ihun-
der storm in that vicinity:
The family of Mr. Ira SklIIings,resldlng
near BonsteeI's saw mill, were up and a
bout preparing breakfast. MIR. SklllIngs
and Iirlle girl, sister of Mrs. SklllIngs,
were standing near the stove, when ire
menious flash of tightening and clap OF
thunder occurred. The fluid struck the
chimney Of the dwelling, passed down the
chimney, followed the stove-piPe to the
stove, and thence dtfused itself in every
direction, passing out through the floor
and on one side of the house. MIR. ).
was thrown down senseesS upon the
floor, his clothes torn in tauers on one side
and the right side OF his body severely
burned and para!yzed. The huIe glrl,ap-
parently, was not injured; but what Is al
most incredible, she was thrown down.
and the boots which she had on Ut Is
customary for young girls attending school
in the country to wear high top boots
were torn apart around the ankle, anI the
foot of the boots forced off from her IeeI
with the stockings, and thrown some SIN
feet distant, leaving the boot legs entire
on the girl.
The chimney was nearly torn TO pieces
and bricks were thrown some eighteen
rods distant; the floor was torn up III sew
eral places, and one side Of the house was
very much shattered. The saw mill
stands some six or eight rods from the
dwelling. Two men, William Stores and
Sylvester Spencer, who were at worN
there, were both struck down and were
not much injured. Mr. SkiIings was
thought not to be dangerously, though
quite seriously injured. MIR. Mott saw
The effect of The stroke upon the house,
Immediately after it occurred, in the cloud
of dust aud smoke which suddenly arose,
and he and some other nclghborS ran tc
the house, some eighty rods, with al
speed. Mrs. SkIllngs happened 10 be IL

uninlured.
