ANDREW JAoKsohs CARp-Our paper to day,
contains 9 card to the public by Andrew jackson,
the adopted son of Gen. Jackson, in vindcstion OF
himself against the wsnton misrepresentation 10 q
late letter of Francis P Blair, which appeared in
the New York Evening Post 1t would seem
that the worst species of mslignity is that
which is hsrbored by the migrate. Mr.. Blair was
lifted from obscurity and want by the influence of
Gen Jackson to position of political prominence
in which he was enabled to accumulate wealth
Although he was indebted to the kindness of his
noble hearted benefsctor for the wonderful change
in bis condition, ibid not scrupe for political pur
poses and to crafty disappointing pride, to make
such abuse of the private letters of Gen. Jackson
az required his son to interposs in vndicstion of
the reputation Of his father. This was Andrew
Jsckson's offence, and for this Mr. Blair undertook
to cast most unjust and malicious reprosch upon
him by gross Misrepresentation IS to his private
affairs Mr. Jackson appeals to the public for judg-
ment of condemnation against the unfoundsd and
ungrateful assaults made upon him; and we are
sure that every man who reads the card will feel
not only that Mr.. jackson has vindicstsd himself,
but that he las covered his ssssilant with nef-

THE PENNSYLVANIA ELEorIoN-THR PAsT AND
THE FUTURK.-Some ofthe black republican papers
(ssys the Cincinnati Enqairer) are consoEng them
selves with the idea that in past Presidential elec-
tons Pennsylvania has always voted in November
different from what she did the month preceding
ct the State election. Therefore they reason they
have been beaten in October, but will according to
experience, succeed in November. Unfortunately
the truth Of history proves exactly the reverse
The defeated party in October is always beaten
worse in November. Thus in 1874 the demo-
cratic Governor, Skunk, had 1000 in October;
Polk, for President, had 6,O0O in November In
l848 the Democrats lost the Governor, Longstrsth,
by $500 majority in Oc:ooer, and were beaten
$4,000 in November. In 1852 the Democratic
majority ct the State election was 10000, but in
November it was near q 900. So it will be this
year. The Democratic majority will be far greater
in Pennsylvania in November than it was in Oc-
tober

Trsns-AsIanIIc Success.

The friends OF Mr.. Murdoch, the Distinguish.
ed American actor, win be glad to learn thar
be has made bis debut before an English su-
diencs. He appeared at the Hsymarkes on
the 2Srd ult., in the character Of Young Mira
bel, in the play Of THE Ineonstsnt, or Wine
Works Wonders" As every theatsr-gosr on
this side Of the Atlantic has already supposed,
bis success was compIets and triumphant. The
London News says Of him: ave cannot point
to any person on the English stage who could
put into the acting of this part, the abandon,
the tnsOGeiGnes, the jollity, and at the same
time the fulluess of heart W hioh characterized
Mr.. Ms performance" The London Times
concludes q notice Of considerable length, a.
follows:
SKIS talent was most adSantagsoosly dis
played in the last set, where the most forcs aud
the least lightness Is required in bringing out
the effect Of really terrific situation. The
Inclination to cry like child, when one OF the
cowsrdly villains into whose hands be has
fallen twesks him By the nose, and the check
which he puts upon his feelings that be may
not risk q fatal quarrel, were excellent toaones.
and admirable was his rnsh back into his ba.
bitusl hilsrity when the moment Of ueril was
past, and he felt himself restored, a. by magic
TO the enjoyment Of life. A most yiolsna tran.
sition was contemplated by the suthor. and
this was completely realized by the actor. who.
BY his performance in this remarkable .caps'
brought down the curtain with load applause
At the close Of the performances, Mr.. Il. was
called before the curtain, and sub

MEssRs. EDITORS The convention at Gsllatin
on yesterday was one of the most cheering and
enthusiastic, dem onstrstions I have ever had the
good fortune to witness Before ten o'clock the
streets were thronged with masses of people pour.
ing in from all parts of the county, and about ele.
ven the procession formed and marched out to the
fsir.grounds-one mile from town.
The equestrian company of ladies' representing
the States and. Territories of the Union, was an
attractive feature in the procession and gave hon.
orabe testimony of the taste and patriotism of the
fair daughters of Sumner.
The crowd when assembled around the stand
presented an imposing appearance consisting Of
about six thousand of the intelligent citizens o.
this gallant old county.
Col N. h. Allen of Montgomery, the Nestor of
the old wing party FIRST took the stand and held
the audience enchanted by his eosuence for nearly
two hours. He was followed by John K. How
ard Esq of Wilson, lin forcble and Logical speech
which detained the crowd until dinner was an
nounced, when they reluctantly left the stand to
psrtske of the''cresture comforts" which had been
abundantly provided for the occasion.
In the evening r. W. Mc9svock, Esq, address
ed the crowd His effort was universally admired
and commended by the vast assembly who listened
to it attentively throughout He cheered the faith
full by his manly eloquence and convinced the wa
vsring BY his unsnswerable array of facts and ar
guments.
The crowd. dispersed about FIVE O'Clock in the
evening to assemble again on the square at night
to witness the Torch-Lgh Procession and listen to
speeches from Messrs. Finn, of Kentucky, and
Bate, of Upton county.

gave to the democracy of the State in the last Gu

Democrats! Vote !

This is the last number of our weekly
paper which will reach many of our rea-
ders before the election The last ,oord
we have to say to them is, TO VOTE. The
election is TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 4TH The
State is securely democratic, if our vote
is polled. All that now remains to be
done, is to see that full and fair express
sion of public opinion is given at the
polls.
The single point we desire to impress
upon our political friends is, that they
must cote. The superior organization of
the know-nothing party secures the vo-
ting of every member of their party.
There will not be a man of that party
left at home on the day of the election.
That there is an actual majority of more
than six thousand against know-nothing-
ism in this State there is no doubt what
ever. But if six thousand democrats
stay at home on the day of the election,
we may be beaten. There are a thou
sand election precincts in the State.-If
six democrats in each of these precincts
stay at home on election day, the whole
loss is six thousand in the State.
We address each of our readers sep
arately. Each has a duty to perform.
You, reader, when you start early to vote
on Tuesday, November 4th, owe it as a
duty to the cause to see that all your
democratic neighbors go also. Some of
those neighbors may be careless and for
getful. Wake them up, and take them
with you. A full cote is a democratic
victory by at least six thousand majority.
But even six careless men in every cleo
ton district will overcome this six thou
sand, and leave the State doubtful.
Democrats! You never owed as much
to your country before, and you never can
owe more to it hereafter, than now. The
loss of Tennessee to the democratic cause
may throw the election into the House of
Representatives, and give the southern
know-nothings chance to sell out to the
black republicans. Buchanan cannot be
defeated if the southern States vote for
him. His election is certainty, if all in
the southern States that prefer his cleo
ton will take the trouble to go and vote
for him. You cl0e that vote to yourselves,
to your country, to humanity, and to God.
You viii be treacherous TO all, if you fail
to pay it.
The gallant democracy of the north
have given you the patriotic assurance
that, if you are true to yourselves, they
will be true to you. They have breasted
the storm of fanaticism raised to over
whelm you, and defeated the unholy COM
bination of Fremont and Fillmore men,
formed to effect your political ruin and
reduce the States of the south to mere
dependencies upon northern masters.
You owe it as sacred debt to be true to
those who have been true to YOU This
debt is to be paid by UOting on the day
of the election.
Our last advice-our closing appeal
pointing out the sure road to victory-is,
VOTE YOURSELVES, and SEE THAT YOUR NEIGH
BoRs VOTE ALSO
