The Democratic Convention. to-day.
was largely attended, every Ward and
Township being fully represented. 1t was
composed of the solid men of the county
men who fully understand and sppre-
ciate the momeutous interests involved in
the present crisis of the country's history,
and who are prepared to discharge their
duty as Democrats and patriots faithfully
and fearlessly.
The ticket presented to the sufrages Of
the people, is one that we can refer to
with pride. 1t is composed of men of the
highest character and integrity in this COM
munity-men who are in all respects
qualified for an honest, faithful and ac-
ceptable discharge of the duties of the
offices to which they have been designated.
The resolutions have the "ring of the
true metal" and cannot fail to receive the
cordial and unanimous support of all who
have the best interests of the country at
heart.

direct taxation this year, will reach the
enormous sum Of over two hundred and
ninety millions Of dollass
Who foots the bill =?
Manufacturer pay certain per cent.
tax upon all goods manufactured by
them, which per cent. they add to the
price of the goods, thus clearing them
selves entirely-they do not foot the bill.
Retailers buy the goods, with the per
cent. added, and add ther eto the taxes
with which they are chsrged--so by the
time the consumer gets hold of them, he
has to pay the taxes of every individual
through whose hands the goods pass.
The consumers pay the taxes.
Who are the principal consumers of the
country?
Farmers and Laborers, They foot the
bill ! asrE ...
This is the Revenue Tax. How is it

United States Bonds are exempt from
National, State, County, Township and
Municipal taxation.
Rich men invest their money, in these
bonds, and while they draw 7-30 interest
per annum on their money, they pay no
ia
Who pays the interest on the Bonds =?
Men Of moderate means Farmers and
Mechanics. a.
The withdraw of the capital invested in
Bonds from the Tax Duplicate throws an
increased burden upon the remaining Per-
sonal Property and Real Estate.
Who owns the greater part Of Real Es-
tate in the country =?
Farmers They pay the taxes which
should fall upon the capitalists,
To collect the Revenue Tax there are
employed host of Assessors, Collectors
and Commissioners, who receive large sal
aries for their sevices.
Their salaries are paid from the
hard earnings of the Farmer and Me-
chanic.
Their labors could be performed by
State and county officers at less than
one-third the expense, and thus greatly
reduce the taxes.
This oppressive system of taxation
was originated aud legalized by the Abo-
lition party, who proposes to make the
man of moderate means bear its burdens,
while the capitalists are exempt, thus
creating an aristocracy based on wealth.
The Democratic party propose to make
every man pay his proportion of the ex-
penses of the Government, according tc
his means. They do not recognize the
right or justice of creating privileged
classes, to be supported upon the industry
of the land. They are opposed to the
present expensive machinery of collecting
taxes, by which large proportion is
eaten mp by Office lders.
If you are opposed to paying taxes fol
men better able to pay them than you are
if you are opposed to the present expensive
and unjust system of taxation, make i
known at the polls by voting agains
those who laid this heavy burden upon the
working classes.

I=lga Rev. JUMUs FOSTER, who died at his
59th year of his age was among the early settlers
Of this Borough-having located here, when
young man, as the Pastor of the Presbyterian
church and otficiated as such for twenty-seven
years. In his ecclesiastical studies he was so assd-
uous 10 seriously impair his health and, to en-
able him to restore it, he resigned his charge but
hls sedentary life had so weakened his constitution
that no human aid could repair it, and he gradually
sunk into the sleep of DEATH in the full confidence
Of n blisstul resurrection and glorious immortal
i.y. As preacher, Mr. Fosters elocution was not
characterized by that meteorc brilliancy, dazzling
ilnagaIy, OF metaphorie sublmity which is better
calculated to please the fancy than instruct the
Judgment ; but his sermons abounded i'll potent
reasoning enforced by biblical truths and scrptural
illustrations, as a solid basis of conviction and an
abiding faith. He is said to have written during
hi, ministry several thousand original sermons
Hi, private life was a faithful exemplifcation of
true christian charity. He spoke evil of none,
thought evil of few, and dealt justly with all. In
his social relations, he was amable and intelligent
Prompted by the friendly intimacy that had for
many Years, existed between him and the Rev NJ.
CoEss. of Smithfeld he requested that after his
death he should preach his funeral sermon which
request was faithfully complied with in a sermon
of marked ability, and affecting to leave few
if any cheeks in his audience mbathed in tears
The large concourse of citizens who attended Mr..
Fosters funeral obsequies attested the universal
esteem in which he was held. w p
