voted the Republican ticket, but that he
would never do so again. We believe
there are hundreds of others who will re
pent and vote likewise with the Demo-
cratic party. 1t behooves you then,
Democrats, to stand firm by your princi-
pies; to promulgate them fearlessly to the
world and to keep alive party spirit, which
has ever been the bulwark of our Govern
ment The necessity of the Democratic
party is most apparent at this present time
while the Republicans seek, by ''no
party" cry TO confine their infamy and
crime to the shades of oblivion. Let us
unite then, Democrats, and vote the whole
ticket The ticket from Auditor General
to the lowest county candidate is worthy
of your most cheerful support. Bear in
mind that the defeat of Hon. c. l.. Per-
shing, our candidate for Assembly, and OF
William A. Wallace, Esq, our candidate
for Senator, may again give the Abolition
party a majority in Congress, because at
the regular meeting of our next Legisla-
ture, they will have to choose and elect a
United States Senator : old Dave Wilmoi
is candidate for reelection, and if Il ma
jjOrity of such imbecile fanatics as he, be
allowed to rule once more, we may then
bid adieu to our Government with its pri-
yileges

rushed down from the northeast. When
the water had entered the cellar and COM
menced to accumulate upon the floor, two
persons were watching its progress These
were Kate Scholler, fifty years of age, and
Christine Scholler cher daughterl The
last named stepped over the threshold TO
ascertain whether it would be best to leave
the premises. She urged her mother to
90 to the house of a neighbor. but with
out success. She then departed alone.
Soon after the building fell with a terrible
crash. At later hour, last night, work
men were seeking for the body of the elder
woman.
The house adjoining, No. 1882, crum-
bled into ruins at the same moment.
Three children were on the lower floor,
having just been left by their mother, who
had gone to secure board for them at a
neighbor's. Their names were Mary,
Wilhelmina and Frederick Wolf, and their
ages respectively seven, ten and twelve
years Their death must have been al
most instantaneous, although, strange TO
say, the bodies of two of them presented
not the slightest discoloration or brlrise.
The head of the third was crushed by a
falling door. and her arms broken
The corpses were conveyed to the resi-
dence of George Hinger, No. 1907 Sixth
street, and placed upon a bed in the front
room. The appearance of the bodies was
singularly natural, and death seemed only
like sleep which had overtaken the
children in their pastime. The mother
was almost insane with grief.-PdLadei-

Beware Of Intrigue.

The dodge by which the Republican
leaders in this county, are endeavoring to
compromise with Democrats, won't win.
We have already noticed some instances
of this kind of Democrats being called
to one side and told g if You vote for our
man Hall, we will vote for vour man
McAllister." We hope there are no
Democrats so silly as to be thus palavered
and inveigled We warn them, however,
against this and like tricks which will be
attempted by the Abolitionists this fall.
We want no compromise or amalgamation
with the Abolition party. We do not, if
we stand firm, need their assistance to
elect Mr.. MCAIILsTER, or any other cam
didate, especially when it involves the de-
feat of William \. Wallace, who is too
good a man to be sacrificed.

HE unreliable reports and vague rII-

Rebel raids, &c, are the source of con-
tinual anxiety and excitement and it

can tell that which is genuine-before he
can discover the " roast from the boiled"

Is now being concentrated in and about

To tie Democracy Of IVesiaorela,ad
County The undersigned Democratic
candidates for the respective offices of
| Commissioner, Surveyor and Poor House
i Director, beg leave to make the following
] statement:
| Having been nominated for the above
offices by the Democratic party of West
moreland county, and having accepted
the SAID nomination, and desiring perfect
unanimity in the Democratic party, would
say TO our fellow Democrats, that the use
made of our names in the late Republican
| Convention was without our knowledge
or consent, and that we decline to be can
didates of any other party than the one to
whom we first submitted our names and
believing that the safety of our free insti-
tutions and our liberties can only be Sc
cured in the triumph of Democratic men
and Democratic measures; therefore in
order to secure that end we believe it to
be the duty of all good Democrats to ar
ray themselves against the demon of Abo-
Gtionism-no difference under what name
she may rally her cohorts
The Democratic party is the only Con-
stItutlonal party that now is or ever has
been since the death of the Wing party,
and if our election can only be secured by
the defeat of part of the Democratic ticket,
we do not wish 10 be elected. =: United
we standardized we fall"
