site, the fashion plates just what the la

comprehensive and interesting. Cooley is
the most honorable and liberal publisher

such a man should bring out, from month

Louis A. Cooley has made more mai9eus

The secret Of the universal favor which

by FIRE on Saturday morning last at about
) o'clock. A man named Henry Moore,
formerly of Williamsport, was asleep in
one of the upper rooms of the house when
it caught fire, and was soon awakened by
the unusual heat and smoke. He imme-
diately arose, and dashed upon the first
door he came to, in order to reach the

He hung about half an hour, when the
physicians pronounced him dead. He al

associates to beware of lager beer saloons

Three States have abolished the death
penalty, viz: Michigan, in 1876; Rhode

JACOB BARKER, an old and esteemed
citizen at New Orleans, at the Pilgrim
Celebration in that city, in alluding to the
Southern bluster about disunion, tod some
unpleasant truths to his Southern breth-
rem. He said {:
awe know full well that our sle-es
would not be worth the clothes they wear
if the Union should be dissolved. Their
value consists in the preservation of Sou
thern rights, as guaranteed by the Consti-
tuition. Should it be vacated by dvi-
sion Of the Union, the Northern section
would initiate their cousins, the British,
making all free who should put foot on
their soil. This would depopulate the
border States of their slave population,
and they would, one after another, become
Free States until not one would be left to
tell how it happened.

The express only brought little over
$1,000 in dust but much more was in the
hands of the passengers.
The coach met the officer with Gordon,
the murderer, $50 miles this side of Den
YER.
1t is thought he will be taken from the
hands of the officer, before reaching that
city, and hung.
The citizens of Denver met in Mass
Convention, on the 23d, and adopted a
Provisional Government, under which they
hope in future to enjoy all the blessings a
good government could afford. The cleo
tion of officers for the ensuing six months
was to have been held September 29th.
A chunk of gold weighing sl9l is re-
ported to have been taken from the Amer
lean gulcll on the head waters of the Blue
river. The said gulch is said to bid fair
to rival the celebrated Georgia gulch in the
same neighborhood.
A new silver lead has been discovered
on the dividing ridge between the Arkan-
sas and Platte, which assays very much.

French Aid To The Pope.

Both Napoleon and Victor Emanuel have
engaged themselves 10 the protection of
the Holy City and the person of the Pope,
while Garibaldi is said to have declared
that the capital of the new King of Italy
shall be at Rome. As an earnest of the
intentions of Napoleon, the French force
at Rome has been increased to ten thou
sand men, and Gen. Guyon has been ap-
pointed to the command, an officer whose
sympathies are warmly enlisted in behalf
ofthe Pope. His mission is to defend the
Pope and the province called the patrimo-
ny of st. Peter, which has population of
472,334 inhabitants, thus divided, Rome
and Comarca, 326, 500; Civita Vecchia, 10,
7OI; Viterbo, 1875, 324.
A letter from Rome declares this does
not satisfy the Sacred College. 1t says;
IAN army of $4,000 men has been as
sembled, and, unlike the King of Naples,
the Pope will fight before snrendering.-
emay therefore daily expect to be at
var. Predmontese camps have been
formed at Arezzo and La Cattolica, and it
is In that quarter that fighting will take
place. There are about $4,000 Papal
troops at Perugia and Macerata, to defend
Umbiia and Marches. Gen. Lamoriciers
has formed third camp at Spoleto, which
can tender hand to such troops as NAV
have remained faithful to the King of Ma
pies.

Homestead Bill-How Douglas
Sweat.

In his speech here Senator Donglas pro-
fessed to be the fast friend of a liberia
homestead law, and claimed that he sup.
ported the measure with earnest zeal and
great pertinacity in the Senate. In his
late mastery Pittsburg speech, Senatol
Wade discussed the Homestead measure
and its defeat by the Demociatic party.
Southern Democrats say that the bill was
gotten up for foreign paupers-that the
miserable pittance of l60 acres is unfit for
gentleman, The stakeholder wants a
whole township 10 work bis negroes upon.
Mr.. Wade said:
"Mr. Douglas pretends he has been IA
vorable to this bill. Now, it fell to my lot
to see that this bill was put through. l
counted every vote and thought we could
carry it, The South saw that if the North
should be true to itself, the measure would
become law. The bill was up; then was
the test. Again Brother Douglas SWEAT
as it acre drops Of blood! l watched
Douglas vote, and he voted ave on Sill
dell's substitute, again voting for the ne
gro and turning his back on you. When
it came up again, this session, we endea-
5ored to get Brother Douglas there. But
no! he had the gripes! his throat was
sore! though now it is 6razen enough! he
can beilow like steam engine!

ANOTHER OUTRAGE IN NEwPoRT.-On Satur-
day last, says the Cincinnati Commercial. "a Re-
publican pole was raised in Newport, amid de-
nunciations dire and terrible. The hickory
thus impudently erected on The sacred soil oi
Kentucky, could not be suffered to rear on high
its execrated head, Martyrdom was threatened
by fire and axe. To resist this threatened at
tack, the stick was cased in sheet Iron, and thus
matters rested over Sunday. But all day long
yesterday, the pent up wrath of the valiant
was up to fever heat and by half-past ten o'clock
in the evening company of thirty five bipeds
marched to the offending timber, ripped up its
iron jacket, cut it down, broke it in pieces. and
lighted huge fire around the stump. These
valiant young gentlemen kept their courage up
by calling on their patron saints, Bell and Doug
las.
Not content with the exploit, they must stone
neighboring German, who demonstrated with
them.
1t is said that "the blood of the martyr is the
seed of the church," if this be true, we may ex-
pect Republican poles to spring up in Newport,
like mushrooms after thander shower"
The Commercial states that the Republicans in
Newport are near 300 strong, and that on con-
sultation on the subject of making war on the
mob, it was concluded to be not worth while.

Douglas speech at Columbus, Sept. 25,
1860.

slavery has been extended from the Rio
Grande to the Gulf of California, and from
the line of the Republic of Mexico, not
only up to SO degrees 80 minutes, but up
to SS degrees-giviDg you (the South) a
degree and half more slave territory than
you ever claimed.-Douglas' speech in the
Senate, Nay 16, 1860.

Douglas? Both cannot be true. One has
told an untrutb. Which is it?

Behold, How they Love One An
other.

Below, we give choice extract from the
Cleveland Plaindeater, illustrating the re-
gard of the Douglas faction for their Breck-
enride fellow Democrats:
"The idea of Douglas men coalescing
with political scoundrels, who, with official
bribes in their pockets have deserted the
Democratic party, its principals and its
usagss, are doing all in their power to
break it up, is. .preposterous. sd
We will support no such class Of men,
we will belspg to no such party. If there
is not power and pluck enough in the pres
ent organization of the Democratic party
to punish such traitors, wego in for new
organization"
Yet the "scoundrels" and "traitors" are
appealed to for aid by the Plaindsaler,
Statesman and other Douglas organs, to
help them elect the straigbt-out Douglas
State Ticket. They are expected, also, to
rally to the support of the Douglas county
tickets and Congressional candidates. A
couple of months ago, the Statesman was
quite as abusive of this class of Democrats
as the Plaindealer is now; but Cox being
in tight place, it has "dried up"-until
after the election.-State Journal.

of the Two Sicilies furnishes to attain that
object, which he says he could never ac-

"Malakoff," the Paris correspondent of

The conquest of the Roman States will
not, perhaps, occupy fortnight, for the
Piedmontese army of invasion numbers
$4,000 men, and the populations are eve

Gen. Lamoriciere is shut up at Ancona
with 5000 men, and this is supposed to
be the only point that will make any seri-
Gus resistance. At this moment it is not
known whether Garibaldi will march bis

in the Roman States or not. 1t is proba-
BILE, ho Seyer, that the Piedmontese will do

BoLr1NG.-We learn of several inhuen-
tial Democrats in this vicinity, who were
supposed 10 be for Douglas, but who have
recently declared for Breckenridge. They
are entirely disguised with the dcmagogue-
ism of Douglas, and as there is no shadow
of chance of his election, they conclude
to remain in the Democratic party, and
support Breckenridge, who, though South
erner in sentiment, is an honest politician.
Next to voting for Lincoln we think they
have made the best choice.-Elyria Dem.

The New York Failure of Fu.
sion.

The third dilution of the Douglas elec
toral ticket in New York by putting on
Breckenridge men through fusion Com
miitee, appears t, lie the least acceptable
move of all. Mr.. Brady, the Breckenridge
candidate for Governor, denounces it in
bitter terms, and declares that all idea of a
compromise is at an end. He is about
to stump the State and address the Ma
tional Democracy. The four Breckenridge
men put on the Douglas fusion ticket by
the Cooper Institute Committee will not
accept, it is also stated. Even the ALBANY
argus has so little faith in the attempted
truck and dicker in New York City, that
it entirely ignores the action of the Com
mittee of Fifteen, and continues to publish
the old electoral ticket.
The Albany Journal says the failure of
fusion casts dismal gloom over the fu-
sion casts dismal gloom over the future
of the Douglas Party. Defeat is before
them in New York, and defeat is before
them in the Union. Even should Lin.
coin fail of success it would not better the
prospects OF Douglasism one iota, for the
House, where Douglas has no sign ofchance
II add:
In whatever way the contest may result,
the Douglas party will be left after the
election powerless, hopeless minority
The national organization of the Democrat
ic party will be in the hands of those who
are now supporting Breckenridge and Lane.
Their platform embodies the principles
which the Democratic party represents, and
the South, always the Democratic strong
bold, is entirely on their side.
The Breckenridge men are therefore ex-
liberated as much as the Douglas men are
chagrined at the failure of the "fusion" ne
gotiations. II secures to them, if not
present success, at least the assurance OF
future supremacy in their party, while it
brings to The Douglas men nothing but
doubt and despair.

Connecticut.

The Bridgeport Farmer has put up the
Breckenridge and Lane ticket. The six
old and reliable Democratic papers in that
State now support Breckenridge, leaving
for Douglas only the two new papers, one
in Hartford and one in New Haven, which
have been schismatic from their birth. As
general remark, the Breckenridge and
Lane men in Connecticut comprise the
most substantial and reliable, as well as
the largest portion Of the Democracy of
the State.

EAg gentlemen of intelligence and re-

that before Douglas visited Clifton Springs
it was agreed, after canvass by leading
Lincoln and Douglas men, that Douglas
had thiriy-fire majority in that election dis.

canvass has been had, showing many
changes, so that Lincoln has now a clear
