WILL CONE BACK--All who wish to do so
have not yet abandoned the BrOdcrick faction.
Some who are at heart Democrats, who have
been nisled and deceived, cling TO il in the
vain hope that it will, before the election, be
brought back TO the old landmarks-w stand
by Douglas. When they become convinced
that it is plunging heallong into the lower
deeps" Of Republicanism, that it has affiliated
with the inveterate enemies Of Douglas, that
it has thrown off its allegiance to the Demo
cratic party, abandoned its creed, fought its
champions, they will certainly give up this
groundless hope. The intelligent ones sec the
handwriting on the wall and already despair
They cannot perceive the slightest hope. Ev-
cry day develops some new humiliation-somc
more positive proof Of the want Of principle
in its leaders; and every succeeding day only
renders more plainly the disgraccful destiny
Of the BrOderick faction. The courtship that
commenced in the Legislature at the last ses-
sion, when the Broderickites and Republicans
voted on every question of party nature to-
gcther, terminated in wedding between the
factions in this city on the 18th. There is no
longer an iota Of Democracy in the practical
creed of the BrOderickites. They have vOlun.
tarily placed themselves outside the pale oil
the Democratic voluntarily renowned
their allegiance and extraordinarily entered
into q disreputable conspiracy to defeat the
regular nominees Of the Democratic party
They have been welcomed with smiles and
cheers into the Republican ranks; they have
enlisted in its cause; been placed in the from
ranks as its champions we have now
but to congratulate them upon taking their
proper position, and to warn Democrats t.
beware Of their professions and appeals.

CnEEHISG.--The following is from business
letter from Indian DigSingS: "Dr. Gwin and
Pen Johnston spoke here last week, and the
Democrats were delighted with the luminous
and powerful effort Of both speakers. Johnston
is as brilliant rs the sun unrivallcd as a
fluent and sarcastic speaker. All our boys
are for him against the world, and regret that
they have not, at this election, an opportunity
to vote for him for Congress. say this with.
out any disparagcment to Mr. Burch, who is
perfect stranger to u.s. but for whom we in
tcnd'tO vote. Our political skies never were
as bright as at present. Latham will increase
our vote here. Tho disgraceful coalition
which you noticed last Saturday. has had q
good effect in opening the eyes of the Doug
las Democrats, to the trcachery and basencss
Of the Frederick leaders, one Of whom Is a
resident of this place, and has always been
suspected of Republican procIivities. This
township, always faithful, will present even
faircr and more pleasing record on the 7th Of
September next than ever heretofore. II the
other townships do half as well the foul com
bination will be completely annihiated in
good old Fl Dorado"

During the past week we have seen and
convcrsed with u number Of prominent and
wellinfOrmed Democrats from nearly every
precinct in our county, and they all speak in
the most glowing terms of our prospects, and
predict that the whole ticket will be elected
by an overwhelming majority. The only
danger they apprchend is from overweenng
confidence in our strength. The fusionists
are too weak and dispirited to make respect
able resistance, and were it not for the indus
try and howlings Of their candidates and ex-
PectantS, they would scarcely be heard Of
They are not idle, but the encouragement they
meet with would dishcartcn any other than
the vainest and most credulOus men. Skillfuly
as they arc organized, Obcdicnt as they are to
their leaders, eager as they are to manifest
their loyalty, yet it is almost impossible, not
withstanding they cOngregate from number
Of precincts when a meeting is called, to get
more than corporal's guard to attend. The
people are sick Of humbugs, have little respect
for their candidates, no confidence in men
who prefer success to principle, but
indignation for fusiOnists and conspirators-
They know, have tested and firmly believe in
the principles Of the Democratic party; they
know that to no better hands could the interests
and honor Of our State be cOnfided than to the
Democratic candidates, and they are ready to
give them cordial support on the day Of
election. Our county nominees have visited
a number OF precincts, and were received
everywhere in the most factoring manner
Our meetings arc spirited and numcrously
attended, indicative Of confidence and harrno-
ny.
The report so industriously circulated by
the fuSioniSt candidates. that the Democracy
were dissatisfied with and intended to defeat
81 a portion of the Democratic candidates, turns
out to be, as we knew it would, sncaking
Clcctioncering trick. Among the true and
loyal men Of our party, not tinctured with
BIodcrickism, not the slightest diSalfrcton
exists. IF there be any who object to the
Democratic ticket, it is only those who want
some pretcxt to follow the bent of their incli
nations and swell the ranks of the Brodcrick-
Republicans. The Democracy are moving
on quietly, sansuincly, effectively, with moth
ing to disturb their harmony or destroy their
confidence. There is scarcely sufficient op-
position to make the campaign exciting, to
cause the least uncaSincss. tits all Onc.silcd;
too much SO almost to arouse the people, to
bring out full vote, to interest the masses.
The fusion Of the Brodcricki;cs and RepuLli-
cans has resulted differently from what they
anticipated. 1t has weakened instead Of
strengthened the opposition. Were they in
fnitcIy more powerful than they are they
could not defeat our ticket The pcople-thc
bone and sincw-havc decided on cccting it,,
and they will do it.

The Opposition journals and speakers
throughout the State have ceased to speak o
the ".Sng nirht Democracy" at which their
delicate noses were so constantly turned up
These Sag NIGHTS have become marvclou>ly
proper people, intelligent, patriotic, incorrupti
bic; and instead of counting the foreigner, the
Democracy arc characterized as unficndly II
the rights and interests Of our adopted citizens
Such a charge comes with good grace from
men who cursed tho Democratic party for
CALAMITY standing up for the privileges oil
adopted citizens. These same men, with Cur.
rcy at their head, arc now seeking, through
their organs and friends, to play upon what
they believe to be the ignorance and weakness
of these same prosecuted people, and thus
elevate themselves and party to power, by
representing the Democratic party rs too
cowardly to protect the just rights Of the nat.
ural-born citizens abroad. In the hour OF trial
and danger, who came to their rclief?-who
contended for their rights who arrested the
fearful march Of tho prosecutors of the adopt
ed citizen? The Democratic party. Let such
as have affiliated with the Brodcrick .Repub.
leans turn their eyes TO Massachusetts, and
read the certain fate that awaits them, in the
event Of the success Of the opponents Of the
Democratic party. In that purely Black Re.
publican State, the negro, by the sanction and
approval Of the Republicans, is made their su.
periOr, given privileges withheld from them

DIR. BELLAMY.--New England used
to be full Of traditions Of the old
sa, ings Of DR.. Bsllamy. one Of the
most powerful theoIogicians and
preachers in his sine.
A young minister, who had made
himself conspicuous for q severe
and denunciatory style of preaching
came to him one day to ask why ne
did not have more success. why,
man, said the doctor. cant you take
a lesson of the fisherman? How do
YOU go to work if you want to catch
trout? You get little hook and
a fac line, you bait it carefully and
throw it in as gently as possible: and
then you sit and wait AMI humor
7, our fish till you get him ashore
Now, then, You got great hook and
rope line, aud thrash it into the wa
ter, and bawl out, Bite or be damned!

DECLINE OF WHEAT GRowlNG.-At
a late meeting Of the Penusy lvania
Agricultural Society, Dr.. ALwAiN
called attention. to the interesting
fact that there was decline in the
yield of wheat, TO the acre, in the
grain States. In Ohio, a State but
little over fifty years old, The crop
had fallen off from forty bushels to
fhe acre to about sixteen; while in
the best portions of New York, where
thirty bushels used to be con.
sieered a fair crop, only twelve bush
els are now raised. The falling Of
in other States has been equally
marked; but while this was the fact
with the wheat crops, he was glad to
know that the amount of corn pre-
ducsd to the acre, had largely In
creased, and was still increasing
enormously.

DR.. Dodge and the IriShman.

When DR.. Dodge, Eclectic Pbysi-
clan, was lecturing through this
State on the laws Of health, and
particularly on the evils OF tea and
coffee, he happened to meet, one
murning ut the breakfast table, a
witty son of Erin Of the better class.
Conversation turned on the doctors
fayorite subject as follows:
perhaps you think | would be IN
able 10 convince you Of tho deleteri-
ous effects of tea aud coffee?'
Il don't know said Erin, bot Id
like to be there when you do it.
We'll, said the doctor, If | con-
vince you that they are injurious to
your health will you abstain from
their use?'
Sure and | will, sir
'How often do you use coffee anc
tea asked the doctor.
Morning and night, sir.
'WelI,' said the doctor, do yol
ever experience slight dizziness o
the brain on going to bed!'
4 do, indeed | dol replied ErIn.
Aud a sharp pain through the
temples, in and about the eyes, IL
The morning?'
'Troth | do, sir
'Well,' said the doctor, with an al
of confidence and assurance in hl
manner, that is the tea and coffee
is it Indeed! Faith and | Away
thought it was the "hiSkey | drank!
The company roared with laugh
ter, and the doctor quietly retired
| He was beaten.
