was given for bis nomination-the
spurious delegations from the South,
of course, did not represent the
voice of the Democratic party IN
their States. On the other hand
Breckenridge and Lane were nomlna-

Democratic State. There cannot be
a doubt that the vote of every
democratic State Of the South, to.

ciple is it that good swet is good for any
pain and affords more or less relief. Eric
ton does the same, even # it is performed
with SO soft thing as the human hand. for
any rubbing reddens, that is, attracts blood
to the part rubbed, and thus diminishes the
amount Of pain at the spot where there is too
much blood.

A writer from Philadelphia to one of the New York papers says:

 "But taking the whole range of the manufac- turing interests concentrated in and around Phia- delpha with productive capacity of $l70, ,O00,00 per annu it is seen and felt that the past yearhas not been brilliant one. A cloud has hung over it which no energy could dissipate. The labor of the city has lacked, and still lacks employment.- Thousands who beg the privilege to toll are turned away unsatisfed Advertise for clerk, sales man, or a book keeper, and thousand will offer. Capital stagnates in the banks, because the masses have no profitable demand for it. Two heavy rail road companies have crumbled to pieces within the yenr, and others quite as heavy, struggle on, cour- ageously hoping for better times"

 And these men and women who "beg the privilege to toll and are turned away unsatisfed" are white slaves who are suffer- ing for bread and fuel. Many of them have families dependent upon them. Yet they starve while thousands are spent to make the happy laborer at the south dis satisfied.

 An abolitionist writing to the New York Tribune, says this:

 It IS a solemn 1act that the lnulgnanI NlfSlHa doctors are back again-the very fellows who went off in such rage only ten days ago. not all of them yet; but they are sneaking back in squads of two, three, and half a dozen at time, careful to avoid fuss, and seeking to excuse their childish folly by saying they only wanted holiday frolic. Every mothers son of them will be back to his old haunts before the winter is over, greatly to the relief of certain taiors and washerwomen, though they employ the former class much more e1ten- sively than the latter"

We are now making the right step, in the right way, to organize the party in our county: have out call for mass meeting at Dover, on the fourth Monday, the first day of the January, 1860, term of our county court, at which time and place we confidently hope and believe the democracy will attend Great interest is manifested-every eye is turned toward Congress, eager and anxious to see them peaceably and quietly organized

He has been kept in Congress because his experience, the weight of his personal character and well known position on the leading ques- tions of the day, gave him weight and in- fluence that no new member could have ob- tained. Gov. Conway is ineligible to the governorship again and desires rest. As for R. H. Johnson, to my personal know ledge, he would gladly exchange the edito- rial chair or any office in the gift of the people for a life on his farm.
