Come out for Buchanan.

We observe that the Hoihdaysburg Standard
one of the most ably conducted papers in the in
terror part of the State, has this week run up
the name of the peoples candidate, James Bu-
chanan. The " Standard :" comes out in grace
fully written article and states his determination
to support that gentleman.
The Democratic press in the 18th District, with
but one exception now have Mr.. Buchanan's
name at their mast head; in very short tine
there will be no exception, as we think that nom
ination is as good as made.

0ur Hotels.

In no town of the State can better hotels be
found to accommodate the people, that have
always been well conducted than we have in this
place. This is notorious, but their enterprisng
proprie.ors have tacitly submitted to the majesty
of the 50 jug law" and closed their :" bars"
This has been the case since Monday last, and
although they are deprived of the satisfaction OF
handing " a drop of comfort" to their old custom
ers, or the weary and storm staid traveller in this
cold region, they still endeavor to accommodate
the public. People viii ie independent, and If
not permitted to visit hotels, will supply them
selves by the quantity which we suppose was the
design of the ''Jug law" Pocket pistols, y
and '' canteens" appear very suddenly to have
become very fashionable, and the way in which
they are flourished " is sin to Davy Crockett"
We understand that a Convention of all the
Hotel keepers of the county is to be held on Tues
day next, at Jcfferson, to deliberate on matters
connected with their interests.

Bedford Gazette, that we cannot forbear laying
it before our readers.
The Ladies and the Jug Law!
w 1t has become fdshisonaJte of late for
Ladies to petition the Legislature, and espe-
cially against the repeal of the Jug-Law
Now, did any lady ever read that snakish epis-
tie? If So did she understand it? If she
did, she is entitled to credit as possessing a
more acute legal mind than the judiciary of
this Commonwealth, no two of whom have
been able to agree in constituting its curiously
formed prov sions. But what object can these
female petitioners have in advocating the jug
Law? Is it because it compes man who
drinks to take quart instead Of gill? If
this be so, it would indicate that the Ladies
are quite anxious to get rid of their dl unken
male companions by the shortestroad possible
Whilst the gill has Stayed its thousands,
the jig has Stayed its tens of thousands
We are told that it has been quite fashion,
able, in Pennsylvania, this winter, for ladies
to make Egg-nog parties, inviting both male
and female to participate in taking the poison
thus elegantly disguised by fair hands, and
we learn also that many young gentlemen
have felt as happy as June Bugs under its in
fuence, to the great amusement of the Ladies'
Other Ladies, it is asserted, hand round wine
at their evening parties, thus re-enacting the
scenes which occurred in the early history of
our government, when man was considered
much below the standard of gentleman if
he did not put out his bottle on the call of a
male visitor and lady as not understanding
the true dignity of her sex if she did not in
vite female friend to take cake and wine !!
What we would like to know is, how many la
dies names are attached to these Jng Law
petitions who have been thus inducing young
men and young ladies, too, to take Parker
under the delusive title of Eag-nogP
Women never looks so am-lovely as when
tempting men to drink-and never moro out
of place than when praying the Legislature
to compel them to take quart or none. The
ladies have beer unthinkingly led into this
matter by wiley temperance politicians, who
have induced them to believe that the Jug
Law is Temperance measure. Hence they
are excusable for this seeming desire to have
Liquor forced upon the people by wholesale.
One kind word, or gentle look, from woman.
such as she only is capable of bestowing,
would do more to reform an Incorporate man
than Jug-law petition twenty thousand miles
long.-Bedford Gazette.

THE FUNNY CANDIDATE declaration
of ANDREW JACKSON donelson, that he
did not leave the ranks of the Democratic
party, but that the Democratic party left him.
While General Jackson lived, he controlled
Donelson, and kept him in the path of duty.
just as he controlled Benton, Houston, and
Blair President Polk, mainly out of respect
to Old Hickory" bestowed Office on donel-
son and the latter expected, as matter of
course, to quarter himself and his family on
President Pierce. as he had done on Polk and
jackson. But President Pierce thought he
had enough; whereupon donelson became
disgruntled and turned Know Nothing. Such
are some of the antecedents of Gen. Jackson's
shddop.

Central Railroad.

We have heard many reports in regard to
this company, but have. generally, passed
them by unnoticed. But there is report in
circulation now, which if true, shows that that
Company is conspiring, in most outrageous
manner, against the interests of Pennsylvania,
and should incur the censure of the leg:sla-
ture and the people. 1t is said that an Agent
of the road has called upon the different iron
masters of lancaster county and forced them
into contracts to send all their iron to Pitts
burg over the railroad, in preference to the
State works, by fatty refusing to carry ton
for them when the canal is not il running
order. if they refused. We give the report
as it is current. If not true the Company
can deny it; but if true it is high-handed
measure on their part which deserves the ex-
ecrations of the community. -Aa'T's'"ry

State is sure for the Democratic nominee for the
Presidency. Where, last year. there was 10000
majority against the Democracy, Wells, the De-
mocratic candidate for Governor, now leads the
coalition candidate fire hundred and fourteen rotes,
with ten towns to be heard from, which NAV
swell this vote to thousand, but is not likely to
reduce. few such triumphs of Black Republi-

SENTIMENTS OF THE PENNSYLVANIA Demo-
cRAcY-We like the bold and staunch man
ner in which the Pennsylvania Democracy
meet the political issues of the day. They
march up to them without reservation or hes
itation. Gloriously they emblazon their prin-
ciples upon their standard in letters of light,
which can be read and understood by all
men. The Democracy of no State have pla-
ced themselves more unequivocally upon the
record than those of Pennsylvania. No State
has more unequivocally indorsed the Nebras-
ka-Kansas bill than have our Pennsylvania
friends. This, however, was not unexpected,
for she has always been pre-eminently ma
tional Commonwealth, having little or no
sympathy with the Abolition fanatics of the
North in their warfare upon the Federal Con-
stitution.

The Jug Law.

The jug Law passed by the Know Nothing
Legislature went into full force in this place on
Monday Morning last-we are unable to say
what effect it will have, whether for better or
worse, will wait the result and speak here
after. Cambria county now presents the singular
spectacle of not having single licensed tavern

for damages committed by persons while in

of liquors under prescribed regulations

THE CITY ELECTION.

We give above the result of the charter cleo
ton of Tuesday last. The Mayor elect is a
democrat, and the balance of the officers, are
pretty well divided between all parties. 1t was
a curious contest. The late Mayor strongly
against his wishes, was prevailed upon by the
solicitations of men of all parties, to allow his
name to be again used with the assurance that
there would be no party contest, bat DISPOSE
ton to consult only the best Interest of the city
and secure the best men. BY this mode of doing
business, there was no organization or effort ON
the part of Republicans. But our Democratic
brethren rallied, and with the appliances they
so we'll know how to use, brought their forces
TO the polls in a mass, the result of which is rs
stated.-In addition, the vote is nearly hun
dred more than the usual vote, a large share of
which was manufactured on the day of election,
and of course voted with the democracy. Per-
haps that element out of which permanent de-
mocracy can be calculated on,-is in the ascen-
dant IN this city, and perhaps not. This con
ties scarcely determines it.
So far as the officers elect of the democracy
are concerned, we have no disposition to pre-
Judge them. Appearances are sometimes deceit
full We are not very sangune that their sue
cess will Contribute very largely to the city in

We clip the following frnm the local column of a
late number of the Madison Argus:
Madison is peculiarly favored at this time with
an array of artists few cities in the Union can
boast of having. There is Mr.. BROOKS, whose
life-like portraits have been the theme of so much
remark. Then there is the celebrated Mr.. BRoN
SON, whose artistic fame is CO extensive with
the Union. Then there is Mr. JACOBS, the por
trait painter, the photograph, ambrotype and
daguerrean operator. Then there is the large
and elegant establishment of oiiNSoS & Full
LER, who roll ont pictures of all kinds by whole
sale. While lastly, a new native Wisconsin
genius, Mr.. O'NEIL, the scenic and portrait
painter, has entered the list for competition with
them all. The first throw of his brush has really
astonished old artists. He has produced a pic
ture entitled THE Fortunes of the Cup" which
gives evidence of most decided artistic merit
and is earnest of the future fame of this Bad,
ger artist.
This picture can te seen at the Museum Room,
and is to be disposed of by lottery. Success to
ndtire talent and the fine arts. AMATEUR.
The o Neil mentioned above, is JAMES O'NEIL,

to learn that he is working his way up successful
