0LR GLORIOUS COUNTRY.

L. Thousands and tens Of thousands OF Patriotic
Oraions and Sermons have been delivered within
the past few days, throughout this land and Nation,
all tending to show that We the greatest, most
prosperous and most happy people upon the face Of
The earth-tbat we have everything that heart could
desre-and that we are a terror 10 evil doers thro'
out the world This admitted on all hands, let IN
qure 10 whom we are indebted for the wholesome
laws which are the basis OF this unparalleled pros
perty, and the answer is-',T0 THE DEMOCRAT
&c PARTY.' And yet, Notwithstanding we are
surrounded on all sides with the richest political
blessings OF which the mind capable Of concey-
ing, the enemies OF Democracy, from the orsaniza-
ton OF the Government down TO the pres ent moment,
have annually been endeavoring to create The in
preston that we were on the verge Of Bankruptcy
and ruin Shame! Shame!!

Il is manifest from the num5er Of aPpIica-
fi0ns advertised, and to be made to the next
Legislature for Bank charters. that The disgrace
ml proceedings which marked the last session
Of our State Legislatures. are again TO BE- enact
ed al Harrisburg next winter, and that Bank
boring and Bank corruption is to 5r th1 order Of
the day there, until the state is a1oled through
out with The issues of these ragmillS, and gold
and silver driven entirely from circulation, un-
less some power shall intervene 10 STAY the pro-
greSS Of this corruPung inference aud check the
growth Of these paper manufactures. The IN
crease Of banhlng capital in Pennsylvania, a.
boye The requirements of business, is becoming
great evil and is Justly exciting alarm. Al
ready have these institutions attained power
ia the State capable Of resisting, and too often
successfully, any and all attempts to secure
their better regulation, and TO throW around
them those restrictions absolutely necessary to
protect the rights OF the people and this pow
er is destined largely TO increase unless the
people of toe State nterpose their authority,
and through the Legislature and Executive Of
the State, erect an eGectual barrier to the fur
ther expansion Of paper money issues. 1t Is
not that the Democracy Of the State occupy a
position of antagoniSm to the business interests
either OF the city or Of the State, that they are
opposed to this increase of banking capital, but
btcause they have in view the best interests Of
business and the trur prosperity ofai classes Of
our people, all Of which are ciIcumscri5fd and
directly iniringed by The existing system Of
bank management; while the multiplication Of
paper money. by cheapening money, at once
enhances the cost Of everv article Of consump-
ton, and drives gold and silver from circulation,
greatly to the injury Of the producing classes

From-ue!iigracr brought ~ tbr last Euro
pean Steamer it appears the weather IN England
has been delightful igr some time past The
crops are described as looking splendid Jpnealh
a brilliant sun, and through the whole Of the
agricultural world there is a cheerful promise
Of an abundant harvest. People ale leaving
London, Liverpool aud Manchester for tbe
country. Excursion steamers 90 10 ireland.
Scotland, France, Holland and Germany, and
the railways take crowds 10 all sorts Of pleasant
places. \ joyous company recently started for
Bordeaux, and there is even tail; Of an eXcur-
sion steamer TO Canada and the United States
And why not? Americans flock 10 such
crowds to England that it IS but fair for En-
gIiShmen 70 recprocate their curiosity and lib
erahy. The vine and silk crops in France are
coming out large and healthy, having almost en-
trrif recovered from The diseases which Eavp
soreiy afflicted them during the past two YEARS.
The elections are creating excitement and i've

Pope, Pho Nino's entry into Bologna is the last
incident Of bis present tour through bis domin-
ions. His holiness was received in most he
coming manner by the authorities amidst grand
demonstration and rejoicing. Drpulations from
the cltlze0s Of the province received him in an
amphnheatre constructed for the purpose, with
atrlumphal arch half mile from the gates of

THE TEMPERANCE QUESTION.

C5-Less than three years ago the opponents OF De-
mocracy could talk OF nothing bnt Temperance and
Prohibltory Liquor Laws This their great
hobby their .pet darling. They determined that no
Tavern should sell liquor under pain Of imprison-
menJ and heavy fine, and that all Distleres should
be closed. This they pledged themselves TO do, or
perish in the attempt. Every body who declined 10
take up the fanatleal cry denounced ''sweii
bead, "Bloat," ..Grog Bruiser'' &c. even though
they had never used liquor as beverage in their
lives. Even after the Freemen of Bedford county,
by majority Of Il09 votes, decided against Pro-
hihitory Law, FR. JORDAN, the Abolition leader
OF this county, carried The famous rather infamous
JUG LAW through the Senate by his own vote
had he voted against il the odous measure would
have been defeated. This is the Law under which
VAL STECKMAN. an honest, upright, ard temper
ate man. wa, sent to prison, were many other
good men all over the State. Although the people
OF the commonwealth, by fair and legitimate majo-
rity decided against the passage Of such law,
the X. n. Legislature Of 1854 FORCED the Monster
through and POLLOCK approved it! But wbatnow
do we behold? The aMilton Farmer a Know No
thing Fillmore paper OF the 81 inst. tells US that
Cg- WlLMOT, the abolition candidate for Cover
nor, has been in Philadelphia for weeks, spen-
ding most OF his tune in the RUM Mills aud Lager
Beer Saloons and asks, in continuation What are
we to think OF candidate of Governor thus max
lng public exhibition Of himself, and thus setting
the worst example 10 his leow-citiz-us. Whi>key
drinking and beer swilling bad enough in all
conscience, but the public habits Of such man a.
WlLM0T are terrible in their consequences. We
begin to think there truth in the report that
{gr,o- i IN he withdrawn from the course and his
place supplied by some steady person who will not
thus shock the moral sense Of the CON munity."
These the declarations OF Fillmore organ, re-
published aud endorsed by the Philadelphia News, a.
mother paper bitterly hostile to the Democratic par
ty. The loudest mouthed brawling advocates o. po-
Htieal Temperance in Bedford now the most ear

SlBBlTH SCHOOL cELEBRA TI0N.

~ The Sabbath School connected with the Lu
theran Church, under the direction OF O. F. SHAN
soN, Esq, the accomplished Superintendent, held
their annual celebration in ssDefibaugh's Grove on
last Friday, and when we say the affair came off IN
admirable style, and TO the satisfaction OF all, we
only give utterance 10 the general opinion OF the
large eonconrse in attendance. Rev Mr. kunkel-
man, OF Schelsburg, delivered an eloquent and ap-
popriate address the occasion, and several inter
estmg speeches were made in the presentation and
reception Of Banners. The entertainment was No.
! in every sense Of the word and was the subject
of much praise. The children made fine appear
ance in procession, and numbered about $50.

sWhere did Tie people come from!'' Old and young,

spirit Of the occasion with degree Of interest
such as we have seldom witnessed,
The Military, with their elegant martial music,
presented hue and soldier-iike appearance, and
were the conserved Of all Observers The ''bed-
lord Ritemen,' Capt. SAMSON, and the ''Bloody
Rim Blues" Capt. STATES, were out 10 their
strengths and conducted themselves IN such a man
nFr a. TO secure general applause and adfnraion,-
Their appearance was imposing, their marching re-
sular, aud their firing such was to have been eX-
pected from ypuag gentlemen well skilled in the
use Of arms.

HON. MLLLLg.W L. .MgRCE.

Hon. William I. Marcy, Secretary ol Stat"
during lhp administration Of Ex-Presidrut Pierce
died on the 4th Of Jolly. a; BaIston, r. Y. Mr.
Marcy was nearly sevruty-iWo years Of age,
but owing 70 the fact taai H. was gifted with a
robust constitution, capable Of enduring great
fatigue, bis SUDDEN demise has aSlouHGed the
nation. There is striking fact in Ills death
which will BE observed by every mind. His
great spirit took flight upon The anniversary OF
our National Independence. It has occurred
three times in our history that some ofour most
distinguished statesmen have died upon that boI-
day. Adams, Jefferson and Marcy have gone
to their final account while the boom Of cannon
and the shouts Of an enthusiastic multitude
have celebrated The hcrosm Of on fathers.
