idol, Mr. Slcnkcr, as the "Laioa cdn}t-
date" for Judge. When did Mr.. S. get
that honor? Not one Of the Union con-
vcntions-not even a Democratic conyen-
ton-in either Of the three counties, has
named him, TO our knowledge. Much less
have any Conferees, chosen by the two
parties, agreed upon him. The Democrats
dare not publicly present Lin as their
candidate. The "Union" conventions
have nominated other men. And yet the
.Iryus has the effrontery to prescnt-as
the "Uuion candidate" e"-thc man whom
all the Sccessi)nist newspapers ard ad
vocates in the District support. He is
the sccyd "Dcmocratic" hut open "lndc-
ncudent" candidate, and TO try TO impose
him upon the people as the "Uuion' nom
inee is as Infamous a fraud as that Of
"polk and the Tariff of 'i2"-"Buchanan
and Free Kansas s''-or "Brccklnridgc ard

Mr.. S!cukcr is "better Union mau
than Woods or Lawson, Gust as Polk is

HONE MANUFACTUREs.-We are now
waging a war against the Free Traders,
both Of our own country and Of Europe,
and if successful, the t. S. will hereafter
lay its Tariffs exclusively for the good Of
our own Home Industry, without asking
any "odds' OF any Power on earth.
Que effect of the war is to create indus
try in particular new branches. for articles
demanded by the Army. A Harrisburg
paper says the Army Blankets furnished
at the thriviug Factory of the llALFrEN-
MS at Laurelton, in Union county, are
superior articles for the price. SCorT and
SLlFER, in Lewisburg, are making soldiers
shocs-stroug wholesome supporters, that
will "s,aud' the hardest treatment, but
they have large number to make, and
can give work to many new jours.
pfa- \ Democrat wants Us to inquire
by what authority the IryHs announces
our venerable friend, Zen. Wiscgardner,
as on the Democratic Ticket for Coroner.
The Convention did not nominate him,
nor has the County Committee appointed
him, from any public proceedings by
what invisible central power-above the
fcuple In UonvcnIrUu-is ne thrust upon
US, without our knowledge or consent, for
the office Of gravc-dlgger Of our party:

Unkind Words.

"Do not use such words as those, thew
make my heart ache,' said a mother to
her children, who were disputing over
some playthings. "Come here, and l will
tell you cross words | once uttered, and
which / never think of, without feeling
the deepest SORROW"
"Why, mamma, | hardly thoughht YOU
coutd say any thing cross; l am sure you
are always kind now"
The lady smiled sadly, as she continued
-"I had a sister Jane once she was old

"Once she was taken very sick and for
q time we thought we should lose her ;
but at last she grew a little better, and
could bear to sit up a little; or lie on a

still while in her room.
sOne evening l was sitting with her,

FOR THE SPIRIT OF THE AGE.
LYING AND ISLANDER.

Some people seem to possess both an in
ate propensity and ability to lie. Wheth-
er the fathers, in discussing the doctrine of
human depravity, discovered this fact or
not, they seemed not at liberty to inform
us; but one thing is very certain, whether
they did or did not, those who strive to
live up to the requirements Of that gospel
which was the great theme of the ancient
good, now often realize it as a fact in their
christian experience. 1t does seem that a
people so highly cultivated and possessing
mcnt as ours, should not be guilty Of such
a demoralizing habit. A nation of uncut
tivated Turks or Arabians might have some
potent reasons to plead in ~extenuation of
such a crime, were they guilty /; but an
American, a member of that country
where Washington lived and died, stands
exposed to the burning rays of truth, un-
shielded and naked, a vile reptile of moral
filth, worthy to be Kissed at and spit upon
by every good man, when he so far departs
from the path of propriety as to become a
misunderstanding liar.
We are sorry and ashamed to have to
record Of those who nave the moulding Of
our nations hopes, fears, and responsible
ties entrusted to their care, that many of
them are to he found in this class of earth's
troubles. Numbers of both sexes are daily
whetting their tongues upon the stone of
hellish hate and revenge; and going forth,
like the poisonous adder, they sting every
u~nsuspecting passer-by. Of all kinds,
this species of shining is the most mean
and contemptuous. 1t always betokens a
want OF religion and brains in the vile per.
p~etrator of such deviiish acts. We defy
the world to produce one instance where
the contemplate slanderer was at any
time afterward ever renowned for his piety
or literary attainments or where one who
has shone as a star Of even the sixth mag,
nitutde in the galaxy of honest fame, wa.
ever guilty of the abominable practice
The fact is, Icing in any form, freezes w
the very soul, cramps and letters all thu
intellectual faculties of our nature, and de
stroys our nobler sympathies and emotions
When We think Of the numberless case
of ruined characters; the thousands O
blasted hopes and injured prospects tn
heart burn'ngs and resentments, stirred u
by Icing tongues, we are only astonishe C
that there are no more graves of moder1
Ananiases and Sapphiras among us than W
have. The Bible says, "For lying an,
swearing the land mourneth !" and some
thing is now making our land mourn
What that something is, let the peopl
