FOR AUDITOR GENERAL,
THOMAS l.. COCHRAN Of York
For SURVEYOR GENERAL.
WILLIAM II. kEIM of BprkS.

retl- The numination Of COCHRAN and
KILN is well received, everywhere amore
the opponents of Slavery and Free Trade
Iu our State. Let but their friends il
every county &C; up a good local ticket ot
true, worthy, competent, well-f,tcd men,
and it is conceded on all hands the Pres.
iieu:'s party will receive a worse than
Waterloo d. feat.
1t is more than probable that millions OF
British money viii be used in the next cam

A leading question in the next cam.

Lor aud British capitalists will probably
be ready 10 expend some money to aid
American sham Democracy to crush this
measure, as they have done heretofore.
In this work, they will find jealous
helper in the Aryus.-Jcr. Store Icleite
SALE or THE PuBLJC WoRKs.-Thc
Eepublican Convention of Greene county,
at Its recent meeting, passed series of
resolutions repduiating the bred Scott de-
cisi,u, &c, with the following:
Rcsolcea, That our thanks arc due to
the present aud late Governors of Penn
syirania for their firm and patriotic course
in relation to the sale of the public works,
inasmuch as it relieves the payment of in
terest On ten and half millions of dollars,
and affords a strong assurance that our
State debt will soon be extinguished.
The fact is gratifying one, and this
expression Of it is just and graceful com
plimeDt to Governor JOHNSTON and his
successors, Gov. PACKER included.
\ Coop ENDoRsEMENT.-The York
Paasy'rdajan, a strictly neutral paper,
published by DANIEL A. FREY, alluies to
our candidate for Auditor General in terms
highly commcndatory, and from an un-
prejudiced standpoint. The Psansyloa-
ni1a says:
",Fhe candidate for the Office of Auditor
General bsiug a residont Of thus Borough.
it becomes Us to attest to the high esteem
in which he is held, by men ofall parties.
I2nesty and qualifications for the office,
Will be conceded to Mr.. COCHRAN, by the
lcIders ard masses Of tie Democratic party
an this comty and the votes which he
nav fail to command at home, will be cast
against him, mainly, in consequence of
adhesion to party, and not on account Of
any flaws in his character, for none can be
found. Indeed, Mr.. Cochran is too good
a citizen to be politician"
Oce who knows him well, assures US
that instead Of being too easily influenced,
Mr.. Cochran is rather noted for his firm
ness aLd strength Of will and lifelong
devotion to the business of editing good
newspaper and pursuing tho legal profes-
sion repu,ably at the same time-both
with decided eclat-attest that he has also
the industry, and the varied knowledge
required for that ofice-second to none in
the State. lie is to be tried, anyhow.
THE FRosT AND THE CRoPS.-From
papers published in that section Of Ohio,
where the large frosts were supposed to
have done the most damage, we learn that
the mischief has been much overrated. 1t
is now stated that the injury to the wheat
has been very slight; to the corn, even less,
and, in fact the only crops severely nipped
were the tomatoes, beans, &c, aud there
is yet time to rep!ant these. The grapes,
ipo, are injured, but not to any great e1-
tent.
Intelligence from the western parts Of
PENNSYLVANIA aud New Ynrk, from Ohio,
Michigan, Illinois, and Canada, leave lit
lie doubt that the late heavy frosts in those
regions have done very serious damage to
the fruit, and to some extent injured the
wheat and potato crops. But we do not
believe that the damage is by any means
rs extensive in regard to the latter as re-
ports make it. Such calainities are always
greatly exaggerated, and too frequently
tpeculators are at the bottom Of it for
their own pecuniary benefit.
The Shareholders Convention of Mary
land, called TO drive all free colored per.
.ous from the State, or reduce them to
Slavery, was an utter failure. The great
majori,y declared such measures would
te cruel, unjust aud inexpedient, and
paid marked tribute to the moral and
Iecuniary worth of the free colOred people
Of the State A miserable minority dis
seuted and raved in vain.
Hay should always be cut with all its
juices intact and before its seed is ripe
10 DO this efTectually, sweating in cock is
better than too much exposure to the SUP;
and if the weather is shOwery, cloth caps
for the cocks will sometimes pay for
themselves the FIRST season in the quality
Of the hay alone.
The recent effort to run up -four and
grain to an enormous price,in consequence
of the war in Europe, has already failed.
There is no demand for export, because it
Is more plenty in Europe, and the prices
lower than in this country, and instead of
exporting, we can import it at a profit.
