subject Of the Presdency, and presenting faith

Of her Democracy as a Party, with full and truth
Ul sketch Of the public and political lie and servi-

PROHIBITION.

1-y~If Mr.. JORDAN was sincere in his former
unyieldiog efforts to force upon the people
Prohibition, in direct opposition to the will Of
his constituents, as expressed through the bal
Iot-boy, how does he Justify his late vote in favor
of License Law which authorizes the Lieens-
ing not only Of Hotels to retail Liquor, but also
Ale and Beer houses Having ridden political
temperance to death, MIR. JORDAN and his poli-
ica associates now take the other track, thus
verifying all our predictions on this subject
The whole thing has been a federal trick 10

es of Know Nothngism, and. for a while, the
fraud snccreded-but, like all their other hum
hugs, il now WalIowS in its own hithiness.

1.-THE Chsubersburg Yaiiey SPIRIT appeared last
week in entirely suit Of b~autlful type, and
is Of the handsomesl, as il is one o. the
atlest papers in the Commonwealth. We nope the
talented editors, Nessrs. CoorER & DEcHERr, viii
meet ample return for the heavy expenditure they
have incurred in making his beau ifui Improvement
CJ77The State Ticket, opposed TO The Democracy,
consists Of ooe Hhig. one knotc-Nothing, and one
.4iotttouist Each Of these factions profess to be
a, hostile to the other as they all are to s.Ro,14u

graceful combination has never existed in this or
any other country. Can honest men sustain il!
DEMOCRATIC GAINS AND DEMOCRATIC
=. TRIMUPhS.
Ihe elections thus far o. 1856 have Terminated
most auspiciously Tor the democratic party. Every
State, county. municipal election which has been
held has shown either large democratic gain or
full, complete and overwhelming democratic tr-
umph. According a despatch from New Haven,
received yesterday, the vote for governor IN Connec-
tict is ; follows:
Ingham (democrat) 30 620
Minor (know-nothne) 25.93t
Welles (biack republican, 6,SI5
Rockwell (whia) .,23
The democratic candidate, II viii Thus be seen,
lacks few hundred votes ct majority oeer eli lis
connpstttorS--the combined vote OF Miror. Waes
and Rockwell only amounting. 10 33 g72. The dem
ocratic gains IN Connecticut, New Hampshire, and
Rhode Island will exceed twenty thousand votes
Bnt II is not alone in New England that gains
and triumphs have been confined. The result OF the
recent county elections Tennessee it viii be reg

0EThe K. n. members OF Congress treat
The rank and fle Of their party like SO many
old boots, prefrrrag Democrats for most Of the
important appointments at thrir command, as
will br seen by the following eXiraet from a
letter to the editor Of the Harrisburg Telegraph,
dated Washington City. March 8, 1856:
One of Mr.. FoRNey's Democratic clerks. re-
moved by Gen. CeLLoM. has been restored to
Office: and as things 90 here, it would not sur
prise me in the least If all who were removed
should be re-lnsiated. As for thosr opposed 10
the Administration, they stand very little
chance of getting any position here. For IN
stance the Committee on Ways and Means
have elected a Locoioco as their clerk, $500
year. The Committee on Claims, ditto. fhe
Committee on Military Affairs, ditto; 10 say
nothing of the election OF Locoioco as Public
Printer, and the reelection OF Locoioco as
Sergeant-a.-Arms. All of which is exceedingly "
encouraging to such as would have been thank
fnl ioi any one of these places, and who are
expected to labor zealously TO overthrow III"
present administration in the next Presidential
election have never beer considered as a
very proscriptive man, but | should be glad
for once in my lie 10 belong to party which
will not consider il It's first duty 10 provide Tor
and take care ofits bltrrrst opponents.
The restored clerk above mentioned has not
been ont of employment at all, having been at
once provided for, in the Pension Office, and his
/ place there will now BE- glyen--to wig.
American or Republican? BY 10 mrans b"t
to some other Democrat. The doctrine Of The
Democrats is, "He that doth not provide for his
| household, is worse than nfdrl )" while
Ours is, Take care OF your enemieS your

We publish below letter from WILLIAM
SERGEANT, Esq, which speaks for Itself Mr..
SERGEANT is a son of the late Hon. JOHN SER
cEANr, of this city. and has always bren an
ardent and efficient supporter of the Wing par
ty. The letter expresses, in clear and able Ian
guage, the sentiments Of many hundreds OF our
citizens, who, disgusted With the corruption of
the Dark Lantern party, only ask that We
should nominate able aud competent men in
der to secure their votes:
PniLApELrHIA, April 9Th, 1856.
Dear SIR II wish to present, through you,
my resignation as a member OF the Committee
of Snperntrndence, 10 which position YOU were
pleased TO appoint me at the last meeting of the
Wing City Convention.
To prevent misunderstanding, Will, 10 as
few words as possible, state the causes which
imppl me to this course. AT the first meeting
OF the Convention, throughout lis drliberatlon,
to the best of my feeble power, opposed the
nomination of a separate Wing ticket, thinking
that unless fusion were effected with the Dem
ocrats, it would only be playing into the hands
OF the Know Nothngs, and 50 contribute to the
continuance Of the misrnle which now dis
graces this city. When the Convention, how
ever, by large majority insisted upon the for
nation of ticket, remained in it, and cast
my vote for different persons, in the hope that
portion Of those nominated might be incor-
pora;ed with the Democratic ticket. Drsira
bic as such fusion was, ii has not been effect
ed The contest now is essentially between
the Democratic and know-Nothing parties.
The former, whatever NAV be It's faults, is an
with IT,
grips and pass words-itS oathS and secret meet
ngs, opposed to the constitution, and the whole
spirit of our institutions. This being The issue,
it has not cost me moments reflection which
side to espouse-I intend TO devote myself as
energetica!Iy as possible to the success Of the
Democracy at the approaching Municipal cleo
ton, and lest my position upon The Committee
of Superntendencr might appear inconsistent
with such course, respectfully resign it.
Very truly, Yours,

OF fexalted patriotism and talents, the good old

i1cisms, entities them to our gratitude, and their
work to our entire respect.
Let us, then, again meet in Grand Mass
