Of all such reports, for they are ground

to drop all old dissensions and most Of
the opposition, iu this Borough as we'll as

entirely forget the evil of the past; but

The funeral of BENJAMIN LEEMAN, Of
East Lampeter township, who died on
Tuesday last and was buried on Thursday,
was one Of the largest that ever took
place in the neighborhood. More than
800 carriages we're in attendance, some of
them from great distance, and between
500 and 600 persons took dinner at the
house. The deceased was aged 20 years,
member of the Mennonist society, and
one Of the wealthiest of their number
owning several valuable plantations. He
left ten children-nine sons and

SNYDER County, waking up !

The inactivity and supineness Of the
opposition in Snyder County last Fall,
caused loss Of say 200 votes. We are
glad to learn that they do not intend to
be caught in that way again. The Mid
dIeburg Tribune of last week says:
at is surely high time tina, the opponents Of
Slavery.Exiension, Locofocoism, and the Ad-
ministraton generally, IN this county, should
rouse up, roll up their sleeves, and go to work
in earnest. Our enemies are in the field, bu-
sy, always on the alert, and watching for eve
ry chance Of success while we are resting
supinely at our ease. waiting for our own, or
our neighbors' spirit TO move US. This Is all
wrong-decidedly wrong. The most impor-
,ant issues are at stake; every man-every
freeMan-is most deeply interested in the
final result of the coming contest; and, al
though many may think that county Offices
are of very little importance, be assured this
is not the case by any means. Much depends
on the men that are selected for these offices.
and much more on the manner in which they
are supported after they are selected; and the
success of the candidates for the State Offices
is materially affected one way or another by
the success of these same County officers.
Snyder county is undoubtedly American Re-
publican, and will give WILMor at least 500
majori,y-she should give 500. But this re-
suit can not be brought about bu, BY work
work. Let US be active, then-work with the
determination of men resolved TO do or die,
and We will teach the waning Sham-ocracy of
little Snyder a lesson, the recollection Of which
they will carry TO their graves"

Hard Times-What shall be done 4?

Hard Times-What shall be done ?
In city and country, where labor is the
great source Of livelihood, the cry Of op.
pressire hard times ascends. Labor is but
little, if any, better rewarded than it was
years ago. On tho contrary, the price OF
nearly every article Of food has risen by
appalling degrees within the past live
years. 1t now takes nearly q weeks
work to buy barrel Of -four, and days
work to buy q bushel Of potatoes. 1t
takes half years wages to pay the rent
of dwelling house, and moiety Of the
other half to buy fuel. Half Of a single
mans wages is required to pay his board.
These dreary facts render it almost I'M
possible that laboring men should ever
gain an independent competence, or even
"lay by something for rainy day." And
where is prospect Of better times! fhe
new countries that used to furnish the
markets with abundance at low prices, are
exhausted to supply their own new set
tiers with food till they can raise food for
themselves.
Whether there are too many people, or
too little to eat, seems to be the only
question. Malthus' theory Of too little
supply for the earth's population, does not
seem to be so entirely destitute Of sense as
it did when -four was three dollars bar.
rel, and potatoes shilling bushel He
raised the question whether the increasing
number of the human race must not lead at
length to cannibalism or starvation. These
dreadful alternatives are already indicated
by short rations and famine prices.-Econ-
emy, Industry, no useless expenditures,
low taxes, more planting and less spend
ing for luxuries, are the only remedies we
can recommend.

TRIUMPH OF TRUTH-Great complaint
having been made by the friends Of Liber'
ty that in some of the publications Of the
American Tract Society, sentiments against
Slavery had been carefully erpun9ed, a
committee was appointed on the subject,
consisting of Theodore FeliughuyseD,
Judge Jessup, Rev. DR.. VIM. R. Williams
and other eminent men. At the annual
meeting on the 18th uit, the committee
reported, in substance, as follows: That
the political aspect of slavery lies entirely
without the proper sphere Of this Society,
and can not be discussed in its publica
cations; but that these moral duties which
grow out of the existence Of slavery, Is
we'll as the moral erizs and viccs phich it,,i.
known to promote, and which are condemn
ed in Scripture, and so much deplored by
evangelical Christians, undoubtedly dt
fall within the province Of this Society
and can and ought to be discussed in 9
fraterual and Christian spirit. Also thai
no book should hereafter be published, ir
De suppressed; they shodtdS srfYdtha"k u
the author should desire, or not at all
This report was satisfactory to the oppo
nents Of Slavery, aud adopted without op
position. So the neutrality" or rather
knuckling of the American Tract Society
to Slavery is rebuked, and will no lopgel
be tolerated.

~The straight" &C. side door,"
Cowboy Convention at Lancaster last
week, was the greatest "fizzle" of the age.
After all their boasts and efforts, only Q
or ten counties were represented by 81
delegates they disagreed as to the
policy Of making nominations. Quarrels
ensued, and some withdrew. The nomi.
nees are tolerable fair men, but nobody
supposes they will come within 100000
votes of an election. The leaders of this
rump will doubtless vote for Packer
"straight," but will get all the honest
Americans they can to throw away their
votes on Haslehurst This is the pro-
gramme between Packer and the Fillmore
leaders, by which they hope to defeat
WILMor. Let not the people be misled.
