Now AND THEN.-Nhen Mr.. Jefferson was
President of the United States, during recess
of Congress be signifed his Intention of going
North. His political friends in Baltimore made
preparations TO receive him. Apartments were
taken for him at one of the best hotels, and the
landlord put things in order for the reception
of his guest, and expected grand company.
In the afternoon Of the day which he was
expected TO arrive, plain iarmer-lookiDg man,
on horseback, rode up to the door and asked
whether he could have lodgings The landlord
pompoUsy replied that his house was all taken
up, and directed him TO another place. Not
long after, the landlord found, TO his great
modification, that the unpretending indiyidu-
al he had sent away so unceTemoniously was
the President Of the United States.
In this year of grace, 1853, Mr.. Buchanan
signifies his intention of going to Bedford
Springs, and private car is at once provided,
in order that vulgar persons may not ride in
the same car with his Excelency. Mr.. Bu-
chanan with his suite, accompanied by Sir
Gore Ousley, K. c. B., and suite, in the style
of Royalty, travel by private express TO the
Springs.
Here is a sample of the difference between
the style of Democracy now anG then.

THE CONTEST FOB CONGRESS.

By the proceedings of the Conference held
at BrookviIle on the 25th ult-. it will be seen
that CHAPIS HALL, OF Warren county, was put
in nomination as the Peoples candidate for
Congress in this District. Those who know
Mr.. Hall speak Of him in high terms of COM
mendation. He is good, practical business
man, is opposed to the Lecompton swindle,
and in favor of protecting American Industry.
As such, he is worthy the support of every vo-
ter who is dcsirous of rebukjng the Admins
tration for its outrageous course on the Kansas
question, and who wishes to see our home Ia
bor encouraged instead of the pauper labor of
European countries.
Hon. ]. L. Gillis, the present member, has
been re-nominated by the Lecompton Democ-
racy. His course in Congress was not salts
factory to large proportion of his constitu-
ents. His active support of the Lecompton
