different parts of the county, so as to give
each a controlling influence Thus, if each
of tho sis candidates coulifocontrol on an
average two hundred Totes, and onite their
strength upon each other, the aggregate
would amount to 1200. Now as tbe wbolo
vote of the county, at the late primary election
amounted to 2,300, it will be seen that tbe
six candidates referred to would secure their
nominations by contributing 200 votes each
and splicing the same together, the aggregate
being 1,200, or a majority of tbe wbolo nam
ber of votes polled. It may be said that do
combination could calculate so closely, and
that some would dodge or evade the agree1
mcnt. 1 his may be so, but if we allot to
each candidute any four hundred, or double
tho amount, to guard against all cootingea
cies, it would still go to show that ma
"inside the ring" with only 400 votes could
receive the nomination, by uniting his forces
with the. other candidates, although he might
not, singlo banded and alono, get six hundred
votes in the county, or not half enough to
elect him. Another mode to defeat a candi
date "outside the ring" if too strong, is to
multiply candidates and divide his strength.
Thus, for iustao .o, there may be fix candi
dates for the same office, and if tbe votes are
pretty equally divided, 500 would secure a
nomination, whereas tbe successful candidate,
if he were to contend even handed with
either of the other five, might prove tbe least
popular condidute in the field.
We know that it is difficult to devise a
perfect system of any kind, but there can be
no question that tho delegate system fairly

CJTTo Prepare Tomatoks.-Wo have seen

toes, but we think there is none equal to the
following : Cut good ripo tomatoes into
slices, place them in layers in a dish, and
between each layer sprinkle plentifully with
fine white sugar. In this way they are not a
bud imitation of a good watermelon. Another
way is to add to the sugared tomatoes, a little
vinegar, diluted with ono half water. But
what we consider much better is tbo addition
of a little claret wine instead of vinegar,
which renders tbem in flavor equal to a dish
of strawberries. Tomatoes are like oysters
cooking or the application of heat entirely
destroys the original flavor.
GT Who struck me wid dut brick, Sambo T
was tbe exclamation of a darky to his com
panion, after recovering from tbe effects of an
electric shock which had suddenly prostrated
him during a thunder storm. On lookinir
over the last Gazette we came to the conclu
sion thut our neighbor bad been struck, not
exactly by a brick, but he had evidently been
bit with something or by somebody. The
editor of the Gazette affects much surprise
that we should publish the story of "Bill
Jenkins" after hnviug given our brcthern of
tbe quill a lecture on the subject of publishing
unmoral advertisements. On exumining the
advertising columus of tbo Gazette, we soon
discovered the cuuse of this sudden and affec
ted squeamishness on the part of our neighbor
n tbe shape of a "Uoldeu Pill" advertisement
We certainly can see nothing indecorous or
objectionable in the story of Bill Jenkins
nuless broad humor may be so considered'
It cannot be, surely, half as objectionable on
that score, as the ' Builiugton scandal," which
our neighbor spreads before the public, side
by side with bis strictures on our article.
Surely a humorous 6tory, if it wero even
iiidelicate, can not bo comparod, in a moral
point of view, with a swindling advertisement
calculated to promote licentiousness, and
which is published for a consideration. In a
morul view there is as much difference as
between horse racing and horso steulin".

1 oo Jkdian. An Indian

whole people, as no one would be nominated
without a majority of all tbe delegates. One
caudidato may come into convention with, say
16 delegates out of 40. Tbe other 24 may be
divided among three other candidates. Now it
may so happen thut tbe candidate with tho
16 delegates is tbo least popular and least
worthy of them ail, and when the contest is
narrowed down it may be found that either of
tho three lowest would be preferred by tho
convention. J Ins is not the case with the
present system. If a dozen candidates were
in tbe field for the same office, a strong vote
of ono or two townships, united on one can
didute, might secure bis nomination, though
he could not secure one hundred votes besides.
It is all gammon for our neighbor to talk
about the satisfaction, the peace and harmony
of the present system. There is no peace.
Tbe dissatisfaction is deep rooted and general,
and be must bu blind indeed, who does not
see it.
It is all in vaiu for any man, however good,
to attempt to secure what in culled a Demo
cratic nomination aguinst tbe wishes of tbo
Ioqnisition. Unless be is 'inside the ring,'
ho need not look for any favors ut tbe letting,
or for any thare allotted by the grand deed of
partition.
O Our neighbor of the Gazette, who Ib a
young, we bud almost said an old bachelor,
bas becu on a tour of inspection or observa-
vation nt a cimp meeting, near Moorcsbnrg.
Like all young bachelors, whoso organ of
hope is strongly developed, oud other organs
somewhat stimulated, he saw many strange
sights. In going into rural districts be did
not expect, be says, to see the women keep
up with the fashions, aud was literully over
whelmed with hoops, oyster-shell bonnets, and
dusters. Ifyou expected anything else, Jobu,
yon have studied woman uulure to litilo pur.
pose. Of tho ladies, he counted some fitly
who woulJ pass for beauties anywhere, while
the larger portion were good looking. We
have no desire to dispute this point, but we
cannot help thinking that the ladies' dusters
did not aid iu keeping the dust out of the
eyes of our neighbor. Speaking of the influ
ence of the ministrv, he saya, "we left before
the effects of their preaching began to be
developed." The Indies, however, seem to

EST Tomatoes We were presented with

THAT tifcUCKAUe.
The editor of tho Gazette gets up a protty
good joke in connection with the robbery of
our ice-house, aud imagines that wo were
beguiled with the music of a couple of colored
minstrels who were serenading us, while oth
ers, their accomplices, were helping them
selves to our butter, eggs, poultry, bread(
cake, and a leg of mutton. We did bear tbe
music, which was uot bud, but we did net see
fit to rise or cbnnge our recumbent position,
Next morning tho coincidence of the music
and the robbery suggested itself to our mind
but we came to the conclusion that the thieves
were tbe meanest kiud of "white niggers,"
taking not only the entire roll, but tbe last
slice of some very fine butler. In regard to
the mutton we had but little to regret, as no
one but the butcher made anything out of
that. No, no, neighbor, the inuu who did
that deed never bad any music fu bis soul,
and never will make any, except when he
sings his lust requiem upon a "single cord."
We have the authority of Shukspeare for
saying that it is only tbo unmusical scoundrels
who go in or the "spoils," and cuu't "be
trusted
The man that hath no mu.ic in hiinaelf,
Nor ie not niov'd with concord of eweet soundi,
Is fit for treasons, stratagems, aad spoil
The mations of bis spirit are dull as night.
And hie affections dark as Erebus!
Let no such man be trusted.

EXOELSOIR
SPRING BED.
(Gould's Pa'tnt, September . 1856.)
FOR which a diploma was awarded at the
Eighth Exhibition of the Mass. Charitable
Mechanic's Association.
This is an entirely new application of spiral
springs to beds, making a more comfortaole, neat
er, and cheaper spting ned than has been offered
to the public, applicable to old as well as new
bedsteads.
The peculiar position ef the eprings elevate the
head slightly, saving the trouble of building op
the head with extra bolsters.
The construction is So simple, and every part
so exposed, that bugs have no hiding places, and
the most inexperienced ran take out each for
washing, as they are olily fastened by a button.
The Borings used are made expressly for these
beds on a Patent Spiral Spring Machine. The
public need only see this bed to appreciate it.
The subscriber has purchased tho right of
manufacturing, and selling, in Northumberland
county, and will furnish the article at reasonable
rates.
C7 Springs put in old bedsteads for three dol
