The Democracy are at a / oss TO know
what TO do with the antecedents Of Judge
Ranney, their candidate for Governor, on
the Fugitive Slave Law" They first
denied that he either attended the meet
ing, or made speech at Cunfeld in 1850
denouncing the Fugitive Slave Law; but
now finding they are unable to prove an
alibi, they admit he was there, but swear
he did not open his mouth. However un-
pleasant II may be to Judge Ranney, and
his party, the proof is ON record that he
was not only there, but made an inAama-
tory speech, counseling resistance 10 il
even unto death. II the present pseudo
Democratic party were the legitimate off
springs Of the slavery-hating Democracy
OF la4a-50, these aDtecedenta would lust
be in play but as the present Democrat
ic party have become the worshippers.
abetters, defenders and lovers Of slavery,
and the Fugitive Slave Law, they place
them in an awkward position before the
people. Gentlemen, 10 deny is folly
You had better confess the corn, and say
that your candidate has become metamof-
phosed, and now stands squarely on your
slavery orouching platform. The De-
mocracy will believe it.--LebaROn Star.

evening. 1t was noised abroad for some time
prior to the meeting, that it was the intention
then and there to endow the council with unlimit-

draining lands belonging to private individuals.
How much power the council wanted we were
unable to learn, suffice it to say that on account
Of the exaggerated story, many speeches were
made and insults given, when the affair wound
up, without anything satisfactory being accom-

+" Christian Union.

a sermon on the above subject was delivered
onlast Sabbath, by the Rev. DR.. Studdiford, OF
the Presbyterian Church, of this place. The
general principle of Christian Union and fellow
ship, according to the speaker, at this time is
misunderstood by the general mass, and having
shown that unless there is oneness in the sew
era sects or denominations of Christians, or those
protesting Christ as the head of the church, in
those things which relate to the general harmony
which should manifest itself among them, they
were not acting the part which was intended by
Christ to be acted. He went on to show the great
evils arising from the custom of allowing minor
items to conflict with the great object which it is
expected all christians will carry out the CONVEX
sion of souls and the promotion of Christ's king
dom. How are different churches composed of
members engaged in ranking differences with
other churches to prosper. Let those who are
thus engaged in making known these minor diff
ferences, engage more zealousy in the CONVEX
sion of souls, and they will have something to do
worthy of their calling. He called very favor
ably upon them, to be careful Of their actions,
there is liability to construe the actions Of

On Monday last, between the hours of twelve
and one while the workmen were at dinner, q
FIRE was discovered in the room used as store
room, connected with the paper mill of Mr.. j.
Wheeden on the road leading from New Hope
to Doylestown, about two miles from the former
place The fire was extinguished before any
damage was done to the building, but on exam
nation it was found that considerable guam
tity of paper was destroyed. The fire is supposed
to have originated by some one carelessly throw
ing lighted match among the paper, as the pa
per was at some distance from the stove, in which
at the time was very little fire. The loss is said
by Mr. Wheeden to be $500, which is fully GOV.
