noWLAN DSN LILLE, MD, OCl. - L, ~.
DEAR RICKETTS, AS you are already
aware an important change is to take place
in our village by the first of April, 1857; and
we would here say that our community are
exceedingly sorry TO part with the present
proprietor of the Iron Works but as we have
learned long since that separation, sooner or
later, Is as certain as fate. we quietly submit
and hope to find in his SUCCESSORS all that the
several firms, for some 25 years varying "a
little in name, only, have proved themselves
men Of integrity and usefulness. There is
no property in the state better calculated for
the manufacture of sheet iron, Grain, &c,
than this, and IN the hands of such men cam
not but be ofiniinite value We wish the new
firm all the success that has attended their
predecessors for so many years.
The merchant mill OF Roman, Chrlsty &
Logan is Just going into full operation, with
capacity to manufacture 100 barrels of -four
per "a hours. There are now four good
on Basin Run, and we have 10 doubt the
number will be increased as soon as the Cen
trail Rail road is finished.
The low stage of water in the Susquchanna
has been very favorable for operations of
clearing the channel the workmcn have been
very successful and in few days much will
be accomplished, which has been talked of
for years. This has had the effect to arouse
the Superintendent Of the old Md. Canal, and
we are told there is not less than some or
6 hands at work, and if the heavy white frost
does not brighten them away they will throw
out some piles of mud along the bank and
help to produce sickness as much as the
stagnant water has done during summer.
Yours, P.

MIR. FILLMORE IN LoU1sIANA.-Thcrc was
very large meeting held at New Orleans on
the 18th instant to ratify the proceedings of
the Wing convention at Baltimore. The Del.
ia, though not agreeing with the Wings, says
that, as independent journalists, We must
confess their meeting was imposing on the
score of character, talent, and social stand
ing The fifth resolution gives the pith of
the series adopted:
Resolved, That the only remedy for evils
so appalling is the support of candidate
pledged to neither of the geographical sec.
items now arrayed in political antagonism,
but holding both in just and equal regard
We congratulate the friends ofthe Union that
such a candidate exists in Willard Fillmore
of the State of New York."

DEMOCRATIC VICTORIES. The Buchanan
ties elected five ont Of the six Congressman
in South Carolina at the late election there:
viz: Brooks, Keitt, Mcqueen, Orr and Boycc
They are all avowed seccssionists and all
Buchanan men. Miles is elected in Aiken 5
District: he is union man and he is for Mr.
Fillmore. We call the attention of our poo
pie to this as another evidence that the Blu.
chanan party is fused with the southern Sc.
ccssionists and is a most dangerous party
Every sccessionst at the South is for Blu.
chanan, and when one of them is elected it is
great Democratic victory.
Friends of the Union! note these things and
vote for Fillmore the Union candidate.

A FREMONT TICKET.-We understand the
leaders of the Republican party IN Maryland
have determined to run ticket We are of
the opinion it will injure Buchanan more
than it will injure Fillmore. Fremont men
in Maryland who prefer Fillmore to Buchan-
an will scarcely throw their votes away, or
what is worse, strengthen Buchanan by
Withholding their votes from Fillmore. There
are Fremont men in Cecil county. We are
confident such of them as make Fillmore
their second choice will vote for him. The
strength of the Republican ticket in this
state cannot be shown at this election. Sem
siblc men Their, fore who arc first for Fremont
and next for Fillmore, will not cndanger the
success of Fillmore 10y casting vote which
cannot do Fremont airy good. Such we
doubt not, is the bearing Of the third ticket
on the vote of this county.

For WnoM sRALLl VoTE !-Many an hon.

For Wn0M sHALLI VorE MANY an hon
est voter in the country is asking himself this
question. Thousands of men, everywhere
around, feel party ties and prejudces so
weakened that they are ready to vote for the
Candidate who in these exciting times, will
make the best President. This disposition on
the part Of the people. who are not politicians
by trade, should be hailed with satisfaction
by every lover of his country. The mass O +
the people arc true Americans; they are ever
ready to do what is best for their country as
soon as they see the proper course; and the
spirit Of enquiry now abroad among them
will not fail to lead to good results They
have virtue and intelligence, and when cri-
sis like the present comes, the interests of the
country override the shakes of party: they
begin to look around for the true course to
pursue, and We are satisfied with their con.
illusions.
For whom shall vote? cannot vote for
Mr. Buchanan for he is running on the very
principles that have been adopted by Prcs:-
dent Pierce and his party, and which have
brought on all the troubles, which now afilict
and endanger the country. cannot vote for
him because he is an old politician by trade,
who has always been changing from one
thing to another to further his own interests.
cannot vote for Col. Fremont because he
is a young man who has never shown the
qualities of the statesman needed now to con-
troll public affairs. Moreover he runs as a
sectional candidate, making the very sort of
dangerous division against which Gen. Wash
ington warned us.
But Mr.. Fillmore was President at time
when agitation was abroad in the land and
the very foundations of the country were
shaken by sectional strife. Under his calm
and determined administration quiet and
idential chair, all parties agreed that he had
made noble President Both Democrats

AMERICAN Mass MEETING IN TALBOT
CeUNTY.-Thc Council fires arc blazing all
over the Eastern Shore Of Maryland, and our
friends there are alive ard stirring in the pat
riotic cause of Fillmore and the Union. A
mass meeting was held at Easton, Talbot
county, on Saturday last, which was adj
dressed by the Hons. Anthony Kennedy
Thomas Swami and J. Dixon Roman. 1t was
one Of the largest meetings ever held on the
Eastern Shore, and the enthusiasm was such
as to prove beyond doubt that all is well
in that quarter. We shall be very much
mistaken if the Eastern Shore of Maryland
does not roll up vote on the fourth of No
venlber for Fillmore and Donelson which will

The article appearing in The Picket Guard
of this week, giving the words used above as

Editor of the Picket Guard should not rely
too much upon the veracity of his Democratic

FILLMORE IN II.LlNoIs.-The friends of

letter from that place, dated the day of the
meeting, says oft:
EVERY one is thunderstruck at the vast
manifestation of Fillmore strength. The pro-
cesson is conceded by all to be the longest
and grandest ever known in the State. The
magniicence and taste displayed in the beau
tiful flags, notices, transparencics, cars,
richly caparisoned horses, &C.. was the best
ever witnessed in the West. The persons in

Mr.. EDlroR:-I am very sorry that in my
last communication | should have said any
thing to wound the feelings of any one. 1t
was far from my intention to deal in lam
yuagc that might be construed into personal
tiles and regret exclusively that such has been
the case. Many persons here, not at all in
tercstcd, are trying their utmost to make a
great bue-bear out of it. 1t was wrong they
say. admit it. Gentlemen however will
please bear in mind one thing, which they
seem to have overlooked. They forget the
unmitigatcd abuse hcapcd on the members OF
the American Party by their speakers at that
meeting. The most opprobIious cpithcts
were indiscriminatly applied TO them. They
were Slandercd rs Liars, Perjurers, Black
guards and Assassins. without particle Of
morality or virtue; they were made to APP
pear the most dcspicable creatures on God 5
earth; and yet, did not notice word or
even Il look of rcproof from any Democrat
present, but it appeared, that the greater
the abuse the more enthusiastic the cheers.
All seemed alike to cNult over the defamation
Of cur characters. There were men there,
members Of the American Party, who have
a reputation in this community, rs high and
respected as any one who participated in tn.
proce. dings, and with forbcarancv, that
am ut Il loss to account for, we bore it all
and now, because one Of us III a spIt of re-
taliation, or with desire to pay them off
with little ridcule, has Internationally
said something TO wound the feelings of a
gentleman whom he respects, great "hue
and cry" is made by those who arc not hurt.
My Democratic friends try and be little
reasonable; reflect what manner of abuse was
heaped upon us-and then say who has the
most cause 10 complain.

Hon. Mr.. CADwALLADER's SPEECH.--Thc
Buccaneers had Hon. John Cadwallader here
to speak for them on Saturday last. lie
spoke at North East in the afternoon and at
Elkton at night. His speeches proved to the
advantage of Fillmore, several men having
announced that on account of assertions made
by him they would now vote the American
ticket, although they had intended to vote
for Buchanan.
lie asserted boldly that it was the newly
made foreign vote in Philadelphia alone which
gave them their majority in Pennsylvania.
That in the few weeks preceding the cleo
ton they had there naturalizcd 200 foreign
ers, 1000 of whom had voted the Buchanan
ticket, and that the state was carried by
these freshly imported foreigners. In Schuyl-
kill county 500 had been naturalized, also,
and All immense number throughout the
state. He thus showed that so far from
"Americans ruling America the great state
of Pennsylvania was ruled by the fresh for
cigners who had not been citizens for the
space of week. And he Dragged over this
fact greatly. This was more than some of
the American born boys could stand and
they renowned the foreign party and come
out at once for Fillmore and America,
MIR. Cadwallader went on further to say,
that the foreign vote kept up the Buchanan
party in all the northern states-that With
out that vote their party could not exist a
day in the North. Thus acknowledging the
fact, that as the present sham Democratic
party ruled the country, and as 1t was kept up
and existed by the votes ct foreigners, there
fore the country is ruled by foreigners and
not by our own American citizens. Thus
did he prove that foreign men settle the do.
nestle affairs Of this nation by their intlu-
ence in the elections, and thus did he awaken
to sense Of our country's danger, many cit
liens who would not have believed the same
assertions coming from the lips ola speaker
Of opposite politics.
