The Contest in the Tenth Legion.

From all parts of this district we re-
ceivc the most encouraging letters and
accounts in regard to the prospects of DIR.
D. *. Shoemaker, the anti Lecompton
candidate for Congress. We are assured
his chances for beating William ii. Diu.
mick are decidedly good and improving
each day.
The Doctor is said to be a man of
strong aud vigorous intellect and foe ed
ucation; honest, fearless, ana iudepend
ent; neither afraid to say what be means
nor what he promises. He as sound ana
reliable Democrat; believes in the doc
trine of popular sovereignty, and holds
to the great idea of the Cincinnati plat
form, that the people of the Territorics s
have the inherent right to decide upon
their own Constitutions and settle all 10.
cal questions in their own way.
lie also believes in the doctrine of pro.
lection to American industry. DIR. Shoe
maker is no ofice-seeker, no politician,
but fresh from the people, and was en-
tirely willing to support any good anti.
Lecomp;on Democrat against that prince
of doughfaces, VIM. II. Dimmick, who
has falsi6ed his m ost solemn pledges upon
this great question of constitutional lib
ertyi and he has only become candidate
at the instance of many of bis warm per.
sonal friends.
From the accounts of several meetings
which be has addressed, we are gratifed
to see that plumbers of good anti Leoomp-
ton Democrats are taking bold of his
cause. 1t gives us much pleasure to no.
tlce that S. S. Dreher, E-q., DIR. Wilson,
Caleb YOhe, Mr.. odhead, of the Della.
ware Water Gap, and mbers of others,
have taken decided and open stand for
him. This is as it should be. He can,
and We hope may, be elected. We trust
that the friends of Douglas. Walker.
Hickman. Haskiu, &c.. in this district.
will do their entire duty, and thus yindi.
cate the great principle of popular soyer.

FWe had the honor of visit last
week from DR.. David X. Shoemaker the
q" Independent. anti Lecompton, Tariff
candidate for Congress" in this District.
He is rather a good looking man, about
3S or 40 years of age. He took us to
task for calling him, "a sort of Quack
Doctor" in our notice of his nomination
for Congress in last weeks Argus. and
pronounced as lie our assertion that he
had voted for Fremont in 1856. We
have not the least desire to injure the pro-
fessional standing of the Doctor, and We
give him the benefit Of his denial as re-
CARDS the charge of bis having supported
Fremont. Several gentlemen. of his ac-
quaintaDee, in whose Judgment and word
We place full faith, assure US that Doctor
S. is really an excellent Physician and
a regular graduate of the Pennsylvania
College. One gentleman, IAN old resi-
dent of Carbon county, says be "prac-
tised FIVE or six years in his family aud
stands A No. /, in his profession" We
therefore cheerfully make the anaende
honorable and hope the Doctor will be
blessed with any quantity Of good paying
patients.--EaSton Argus.
B@ We have been requested to state,
that DIR. Shoemaker is a regular gradu-
ate of the University of Pennsylvania"
and not of the Pennsylvania College,
as stated above, by the editor of the Eas-
ton Argus. There is vast difference
between those Institutions. The Penn
sylvania College is but secoDd-rate af-
fair, whereas the University of Pennsyl.
yania is one of the first institutions in the
State,

ADDRESS
Peoples State Central Committee


TO tie Efccmen Of the State Of Pennsw
U0nia..
1t is one Of the highest privileges of q
free people, that they have fequent and
regular opportunities to express at the bal
lot-box their approval or disapproval OF
the policy and measures of their Govern
mcnt. 1t was established by their will,
for their good, and should be so admins
tered as to preserve their liberty aud Sc
cure their happiness.
In few days, you will be called upon
to exercise your elective rights, aud in
performance of our duty, we desire to ad
dress to you few words in regard to the
present condition Of public affairs, and an
earnest entreaty that you will show your
just appreciation of them, By administer.
ing stern rebuke to those who, intoxi-
Gated With the possession of power, have
basely neglected and betrayed the best
interests Of the country.
The course pursued by the National Ad.
ministration in endeavOring to force u
pom Kansas an obnoxious Constitution. a.
gainst the known wishes of large ma
jority of her people, merits the eondem-
nation of all good citizens, and this feel.
ing becomes indignation when we reflect
upon the unscrupulous and proseriptive
means employed to secure this unworthy
object of the Executive.
That the FIRST President ever elected
from our own State should thu, have ac-
ted, is truly humiliating to every Penn
sylyanian, but when his whole Admins
tration SO far forget what is due to the
honesty aud integrity of the citizens of
this free Republic as to tolerate no free
dom of opinion, but to drive from office
and exile from public station all who hon.
estly differ from the Executive in senti.
ment-al who do not renounce their man
hood, and become the seryile tools oil
power-it exhibits love of despotism
and attempts tyranny that the people
Of PENNSYLVANIA do most earnestly con.
denim, and will witheringly rebuke at the
polls on Tuesday next
We desire to enter into no detail in re.
gard to the Lecompton iniquity, and its
final product, the English bill, which en-.
ables the President to postpone for years
the admission of Kansas as free
State. The facts are before the world
ana upon those facts the sober judgment
of history will be passed, affirming your
certain verdict on the 2d Tuesdav of n.
lober.

Mr.. EDITOR Since writing my last,
n have been highly gratifed to find the
great number of old line Democrats that
are giving their undivided support to the
Independent Democrats candidate for
Cousress. DR.. DAVID X. SHOEMAKER
We nearly in 10 ass have resolved to teach
such traitors to their pledges as Wm' ID
Dimmiek, that they cannot desert the old
land marks of democracy and still re-
ceive our support. We are Democrats in
principle and intend to adhere to them,
let the Dimmick Democracy groan and
yell as they may, for We know that We
are consistent and right, and shall there
fore fight boldly on until the battle is over
and won. Let the anti Lecompton Dem
ocracy then expect to hear good news
from the Smith6elds, and especially from
Middle Smith6ed. We have received
the gratifying news that the true Democ-
racy are up and at work in the other end
of the County Hamilton We understand
is getting ready to do goood work for
Doctor SHOEMAKER, and the cause OF
Democratic truth Ross, Pocono, Polk,
Chestnutbill, and indeed the whole west
end Of the County, are getting ready to
enter their protest against such vacillating
dough.faces as VIM. III. Dim mick. Nor
can Price, Paradise, Coolbaugb, aud To-
byhanna and Jackson, sanction such
treachery to pledges and principles as
Dimmick is guilty of, and many of the old
liners have resolved consequently to sup
port that true old line Democrat, Doctor
SHOEMAKER. The Doctor is gaining
friends every day throug hout the county,
aud our true Democratic friends may pre-.
pare to hear us report on the 18th Of Oc-
tober, favorabiy to the cause Of Demo
cratic truth and consistency. Dimmick
has sacrificed all the claim he ever had
on the Democracy of this District, by hi,
base desertion of his pledges, and his
cowardly and inconsistent support Of thai
tyrannical Lecompton measure. Those
Democrats who give their support to DR.
| SHOEMAKER will have clear record, bu
those who vote for DImmick will :hcreb
become parties to bis base and cowardly
treachery.
Let US then, every one, take the neces
sary pains to get out every voter possible
for the independent democratic candidate
Doctor SHOEMAKER. Let each anti lie
compton Democrat appoint himself a com.
mittcc of one to provide tickets for the
friends of Doctor SHOEMAKER, aud to see
that they vote early ani devote the rest
Of the day to bis cause. Come fellow
Democrats, let US go to work in earnest
from now till election day, and, by prop.
er care and after ntioD we will be eUabled
to announce Oh the 18th of October, tc
Demagogues and the supporters of ftreach-
Gus men like Dimmick, that Monroe is
still welded to ber Democratic principles
and is not willing to sacrifice them to
treachery and dishonesty. by voting for
that dough face Ilimmick. Come alto
gether then, and let US make one grand
pull for Doctor d. X. SHOEMAKER, the
Independent Democratic candidate for
Congress.

"THE BERKs COUNTY DEMOCRAT" is
the title Of new German democratic pa
per, published at Reading, the first mum
Der of which We have just received. 1t
exhibits unusual typographical excellence
and IN its matter signal ability in journ,
alism, THE Democrat takes strong ground
against the reelection of j. CLANCY Jones.
aud hoists the ticket lately nominated, in
mass convention, by the Popular Soyer
elgnty democrats of Old Berks. A por-
ton Of the paper is given up to English
reading, and the whole bears the marks
OF Permanency and prosperity. The edi.
tors, Col. Samuel M. Young aud j. M.
Sallade, Esq, are we'll known in the dem.
ocratIc party for their eloqueuce and or.
thodoxy in support of demooratie princi.
pies. Nothing is required but Industry
aud attention to render this fine German
journal one Of the institutions of Berks

triumph in the end.- TIE Press.

DEMOCRATS.

Let no Democrat be frightened BY the
silly cry Of desertion Of the party nomin-
ations; for this very same thing is done
By the Administration party in Illinois.
1t is well known that Douglas friends
were regularly nominated by the old DEM
ocratic organization. But Buchanan ad-
vised his friends to oppose Douglas, and
the Administration party nominated and
now have full ticket in the field against
the regular Democratic nominees. Bu-
chanan and his friends, they call Demo
Gratis, and if they can oppose regular nom
nations and still be Democrats, then SO
can we. Hurrah then, for Dr. DAVID
K. SHOEMAKER, the Independent Dem-
ocratic candidate for Congress, against
that doughface Dimmick, who has de-
serted every promise he ever made to his
constituency, and is now before us with
his sins of treachery, vacillation and in
co nsistepcy of the blacklist die, for our
support. A Democratic party, without
DE mocrstic principles is new thing
We are for democrats with democratic
principles. DR.. Shoemaker is such a
demo crat, and We are therefore, for hin.
