THE TICKET.

In addition 10 the importance OF coming

organization of the party can only be main
tanned in it's purity, when each member OF
the party, forse,fu of self, works for the
general success. We hope therefore tina,
throwing aside every feeling of discomfort
and disappointment the leaders as we'll as
the rank and file of the party will go earnest
Nv 10 work and secure full vote, and clean
vole for the ticket.
The endorsement OF democratic conven.

who considers himself democrat should
de cline TO support a nomination. No oppo'
si,ion candidate can be so unexcepionable,
as one of our own party friends, and it is a

Black Republican Hypocrisy.

The Worcester (Mas.) Bay State says
"We have the name Of gentleman who
heard Senator Henry Wilson, when that indi.
vidual was in Kansas tell Messrs. Robson
and Kane, DO not Vote al The October election
Lei them form siare State. Aid them TO do
so # you can wuhom suspicion! That is all The
capital aohieh pe ask for the neat Presidential
eiection'"
This is a fair sample Of Black Repubcan n
hypocrisy, aud yet the people OF this State
are asked TO vote for David Wilmot, the very
chief among the conspra,ors. The lives OF
meu, women and children, The peace and
security of The Union are nothing, when cap
i,al can be made for the next Presidential
election Ii is time these ar'ant prelenders
were rebuked IN way that will teach them
a lesson in the future, ard 10 aid in perform
ing that duty, we ask the cooperation OF ev-
cry honest, intelligent citizen OF the old Key

INcREAsE OF BANKING CAPiTAL o.


We are pleased that the last Democratic
Slate Couvenfion took strong groundssgainst
the increase of Banks. The banking capi-
tai Of this county has been increased during
The present year s1,2Oo,ooo. This nigh,
have been well enough, If there had been
any increase in the amount of specie ia the
county TO warrant it. But when the stock
had 10 be taken, and paid for in the notes ol
other bank, we cannot see any thing eise
but ruin 10 result from such expansion. Dur
ing this same year the backing capital Of
Philadelphia has been increased by the acts
OF last session, si,soo,0oo, and The asgre.
gate increase OF banking capital in the whole
State since the first day of January last. has
been The enormous amount OF ST. $50, ,000.-
And yet we will venture to assert that all this
immense expansion was based on less capt.
tai than there was IN The State Two years
ago. .-....

Dauphin County Canvass.

A great battle is being fought in Dauphn
county by national men, against those whose
principles are sectional, and whose success
would involve The dismemberment Of The
Union. We contend against those who, for
geiful of the benefits of The Union, would
risk our greatest good and happiness through
a mistaken and exaggerated sympathy for the
black man. We contend against abolition.
ism under whatever guise, and appeal 10 oil
true men, who have hearts large enough 10
embrace the whole country, TO assist in the
overthrow of this fanaicism. The prospects
are bright for ;he conservative men of Dau
phiu county--no matter The party 10 which
they helong-are rallying TO The support o
national anners, and are fighting under flags
which are emblazoned with more than six
teen stars. The information from all quar-
iers Is cheering; and we believe that i, oIly

Commerciai and chance Specuiations.

The whole world is lottery, in which the
men and women are continually drawing

sues of The interior Banks of the State which
find their way to Philadelphia, are at dis

equally disgraceful to the Banking insIilu-
iions of the Stale, and the Stale authorities,
which permit this systematic infraclon OF
the law. Iis, we arc aware, a matter Of
very large interest 10 the uncurrent money
brokers, and in many cases 10 the banks

and honor of the Commonwealth are con-

The Coal Trade.

The Sunbury american in speaking of the
coal trade, says that trade perhaps was never
more depressed than at The present time
Our operators in the Shanokin region have
not been exempt from This general depression.
Though economical and industrious, several
firms, We regret 10 say, have been obliged 10
yield TO the pressure of the times. Others
are weathering the storm under adverse cir.
cumstances, with view of the "beItsr time
coming" Ia Schuylk,ll county, we under.
stand, the effects Of this depression have been
most disastrous, and that many OF the most
energetic and industrious business meh have
been driven 10 the wall. The coal trade in
this county has ever been of most precari-
Gus character This should not be, and why
il is so, is, perhaps difficult TO determine. 1t
is business that requires close attention and
considerable capital, and should be more
certainly remunera,ive.-1dmoqua Gozefte.

WHo SHOULD Pay THE DIFFEREScE?-The
''currency" is deprecated some four OF five
per cent. in payment of debts, who should
sustain this loss, the debtor or the creditor!
Clearly The debtor. He has engaged 10 pay
a hundred cents 10 the dollar, and he cam oil
get rid of the obligation justly by Offering
nineiy-fivs cents for dol:as. The Debtor Is
only in favor of suspension OF the banks,
because il enables him, if his creditors will
lake current funds, to get rid Of his obliga'
lions with saving TO himself Of from five TO
len per cent, or to whatever amount the cur
rency may have deprecated below specie
value. Every workman, who now receives
his wages in currency instead of gold and
silver, has those wages reduced from four TO
five per cent. as surely as though his en-
ployer had agreed TO give him only s5 or s6
cents for dollar-Lsdgv.

success OF the Democratic party a, the com

lack any thing, ii is The excitement OF The

the position We now occupy before the world;
and TO keep the good old Commonwealth OF
Pennsylvania in the line Of safe precedens,
and in support of the doctrines aud measures
upon which the presidential election was
fought, and upon which the administration
is now icing conducted.

are all in favor OF The Democratic party. and
that being the case, nothing is wanting al this
dime but our votes. Them il is our duty 10
