In tlio Republican Convention of last Saturday, Dr. John offered a resolution alleging that tho Republican party, is the "only .National party" of tho country. Tho truth of tins assertion wo uttorly do ay and shall provo iU falsity by their own undisputed record. When a similar reso lution was oiTored in tho "Republican Wig wam" at Chicago, on tho lGthoflast June, Judge Jcssop, of Montrose, in this State, called lho attention of tho Prosidont of the Convention to its peculiar phraseology, vii: "National Republican party," de nying that they wcro a National party, and as the senso and judgomont of that Convention, tho term "National" was striokcu from tho Republican vocabulary. Hon. Georoe D. Jackson and Col. James Dkkoan, wore appointed Repre sentatives Conferees, at tho Into Demo crats County Convention in Sullivan, to meet similar conforeos of this Representa tive District, at Danville on tho Mthinst., for tho purposo of making tha District Reprosontativo nominations.

Tha Republicans held a very funny Con vention In Bloomaburg on last Saturday, After ringing tho bell several times about (. ,l, vi! -l.l.n.. it.- a uvoyiA ti-iuuiiv;iiiia, etitciijr til tuw luwu, wanted iu ami took tticir scats. Wo noticed a couplo of republicans from Hemlock from Scott, ono from Orange, and possibly ono from Centre ono from Berwick Bor ough, and ono from tho cast sido of tho river. Dr. Loltjn-as. as usual, Chairman. Dr. John offored a resolution appointing Congressional Conferees, instructed to sup port Scrauton. Dr. John offsred a resolution appointing Senatorial Conferees, instructed to support Prank Stewart. Mr. Neal road a letter in favor of Gclu lius, whereupon Mr. Madison moved that tho Senatorial Conferees bo left uuinstruc ted. It was debated by Mr. Neal, Madi son and Dr. John. Mr. Madison's motion carried, slaughtering poor Frank, as many better men havo been slaughtered. Dr. John offered a resolution appointing Reprosontativo Conferees, uninstructed. Dr. John moved the meeting nominatoa man for Prolhonotar, which tho Chairman put, and Jacob D. Mellick of Scott, the only man named was put up. Mr. Neal moved that a canditlato for Register &, Records bo nominated ; which full to tho lot of Thomas J. Morris of Bloomsburg. On motion of somo ono Nchcmiah Rccs was named for County Commissioner. Levi Aikinan was nominated as County Auditor. Dr. John offered a scries of resolution?, to which wo shall call attention at another time. Dr. John offered a resolution appointing a Standing Committee of fivo. Mr. Madison moved to amend by putting on ono man from each township iu tho county ; giving tho very satisfactory reas on, that in future Conventions, ho thought at least tho Committee man would attend, and they would bo ablo to get up someth ing moro of a meeting. Dr, John evidently thought it a capital idea, accepted tho amendment and tho resolution, as amended was adopted. Dr. John moved that Dr. Browcr, of the Montour American, (Know-Nothing) address the meeting. Tho Doctor said ho could tell them all ho know in a short time, and ho would como up somo night and do it ; and begged to bo excused. The meet ing very much to Iii3 surprise and chagrin did excuso him, and ho retired. Mr. Bound of Milton was then called upon ; and delivered a very fluent speech. Tho first part of it was devoted to a jcrc miado over prostration of business, and the ruin which tho domocatio party had brought on tho country. According to the Oppo sition tho Democrats have ruined tho coun try at least onco every four years since Jefferson was elected in 1800. Mr. Bound talked of our furuacos being out of blast, which all know to bo untrue. Mr. Bound admitted the republicans passed lho Tariff act of 1657 Mr. Martz denies it. Mr. Bound tried to excuso tho Republicans for that act ; but ho forgot that tho bill was offered by tho Republicans and not by the Democrats. Mr. Bound claims that the Republicans aro in favor of a protcctivo Tariff. How is it then (hat such frco traders as David Wihnot, Andrew II. Rccder and John Hickman, and John W Fornoy, aro at tho hoad of tho party in this Stato ! Mr. Bound says tho eastorn Republicans passed tho Tariff of 1857 in order to lick tho Pennsylvania Republi cans, but aro now heart and hand with Pennsylvania. How is it thon that Na thaniel P. Banks a frco trader is at tlio head of tho iJ assachusctts Republicans, and William C. Bryant a frco trader is at tho head of tho Republican olcctoral tick et in New York claiming as tho mouth piece of tho party, that tho Chicago reso lution is a freo trado resolution, and that tho Republican party must so administer tho government ? Bah I Mr. Bound must not como into Columbia county with such stuff on the tariff question. It will not even catch gudgeons. Mr. Bound discussed tho eternal nigger. lie insisted his party was not tho nigger party booauso they were opposed to the nigger coming into tho territories j and as thoy did not want them for servants, it fol lowed they did not want litem for wives, In tho case of Mr. Bound, wo agree, for lis is a confirmed old batchelor ; but how will ho account for tho fact that in rcpub lican Massachusetts within tho last year seventy-two white women married Luck negroes of lite darkest hue ? Mr. Bound insists that Republicans aro not in favor of negro equality how is it then that Massa Grceloy thus discourses of Negro Voting : "A distant correspondent writes to learn what is tho fact as to Blacks voting in our Stato. Wo answor If a negro own S250 worth of real cstato, frco aud clear of in cumbrance, ho can voto tho same as a white man ; if not, ho has no right of suffrage that whito men aro bound to rospect, 'MVe regard this discrimination as sim nlv atrocious, i . . . If a proporty qualification is right, it ought to bo imposed on all alike, not merely on thoso who have tho least property and the worst chauco to obtain it; if a negro has no soul, aud no political status but that of a thing, lu3 own ing a pilo of dirt cannot rightfully givo him any. Iu any light, tho present rulo is wrong and iudclcmiblo, " Wo shall havo a chance tbh fall to i noils rcu, Thoy aro but a handful anyhow,ainl cannot do much liana if they try " A 1 it 1 1 t . I Tho sneaker asserted that tho election of Lincoln would not dissolvo lho Union, and gavo as a reason that twenty millions of freemen in tho North could easily prevent tho eight millions of whites, and (heir Slaves in the South from coins out ol tlio Union. Ho then according lo Mr. Hound's own showing, I the election of Lincoln is to be lho signal for a series of John Brown raids upon our Southern brethren. Mr. Lincoln if clcc- ted, which may Heaven prevent, is lo car- rv out tho "Irrcprcssiblo Conflict" and tho twenty millions of tho North aro to cocrco tho South and forco them to submit to re publican measures. Mr. Bound is a canditlato for tho Senate. Will tho pcoplo of Columbia county sup. port him t Wo think not. Tho speaker drew invidious comparisons between tho North aud tho South, after tho fashion of Lovojoy and Sumner j and ho most effectually used up all his tariff rguuiBii. uy u. knowing assertion. r.nH t....nni:.... ii... . it... r it. country, its trade, its manufacturers, its UtU UIUUIUUU- turos of Massachusetts alone, wcro worth yearly, ton limes as much'as the wholo motion crop ot mo oouin. now mo uouon tf,,C-., XT ,,., - ,.. - cropot tho United btates for 18..0 was 3,027,81C bales, weighing each about 400 lt. -...1 il. 1 A U l , T. lbs., aud worth about 8 cents a pound. It is a largo sum of money, and tho country is not so badly ruined as you would sup pose. Try again Mr. Bound, but cover your tracks more shrowdly. Opposition Misrule and Dis honesty. If any Democrat feels liko giving way under the clamor of tho opposition about tho "corruptions of tho Democratic party," let him contract the practices of the oppo sition when in power with their profession at tho present tnno. It is a habit thoy havo of making a groat outcry against tho uemocracy wncn tuey want to got into ol- ficc. They havo now been out of offico uudcr tho Genorsl Government for ucarly two terms, and their hunger is so great that thoy may well bo excused for howling liko a pack of half-famished wolros. Tho Opposition havo always been in tho j habit of preaching economy when out of of- j Ceo and of practicing oxtravaganco when iu. 1 They need not flatter thcmsulvcs that tho peopkhavc forgotten their numerous trans-1 gresbions. So long as a vestigo of tho AvUua,u.ua.w, ivAaums-so two stones of a culvert of tho Gettysburg Tapeworm hold together so long will tho people of Pennsylvania remember aud ex- ccrato the corrupt and i'ufiiiiious adminis - tratiou of our public affairs by Thaddcus ' J Nor is this tho only opposition Stato ad ministration that has left behind it an un enviable reputation.

In noarly every iatato whero thoy havo been permitted to rulo thoy have exhibited only a capacity to ruin. Look at Maine which followinc tho lead of tho rencgado Hamlin, deserted tho Democratic party on account of its "corruptions" and its ''subserviency to tho South." Sho had not thrown off her alle giance to Democracy and embraced Black Republicanism two ycars,befo'ro her treas ury was pluudered of about a hundred thousand dollars by hor pious Stato Treas ure, Elder Peck. Tho plunder was shar ed by that other shining light of tho op position, Neal Dow, ono of tho Treasurers bail and tho author of the famous "Maino Liquor Law," which tho opposition in this Stato showed a strong disposition to incor porato in their platfcrm at one time. Massachusetts is tho pink of Black Ho publican States. Tho opposition, have been in powor thero long enough to havo learned how to do right, if it were possi ble for them to learn. To promote the public morals, thoy enacted a law that li quors should bo vonded only for medical and mechanical purposes, and to promoto tho public health, they appointed a Stato Liquor Agent, whoso duty it was to sell only articles of undoubted purity. It turn cd out that tho goncral health of tho right eous colony was rather low, and a great deal of "medicino" was required to bring it up. Tho demand for tho puro article ex ceeded tho supply. ButBuruhani,tho Stato Agent, was equal to tho emergency, llo had gono through tho "Shanghai fever" unscathed, and ho was resolved that tho Black Republican crop of Massachusetts should not bo destroyed by drouth, llo quadrupled tho quantity of puro Brandy on hand, by mixing it with whito spirits. Of this mixture- ho sold about half a mill ion dollars worth to tho pooplo of Massa chusetts beforo thoy discovord tho cheat. How many sick people ho killed hai never boon ascertained. How many leading Black Republicans shared the plunder is not known. But it is safo to say that cvo-1 ry one connected with lho scoundrel, in- eluding tho Governor who appointed him, is now bawling out at the top of his voice about tho "corruptions of tho Democratic party." por is it alono in their administration of tho affairs of tho several btates that tho; tho affairs of tho several States that tho opposition havo demonstrated their wretch- cd incapacity aud reckless dishonesty. I I hoy never get hold of tho reins of tho ucncral uovcrnmcnt without iinvingwtiero I "bectrars put on horseback" are said to ride. It was by charging 'corruption" and "oxtravaganco" upon tho Democratic party that tho opposition triumphed in 1840. They promised reform and big wages nnd roast beef. But before tho spoils wcro divided they split into factiom and fought ono another, and tho country ' .cft t0 tako care of itself. Another howl was raised against tho Uemooratic party in 1818 and another op. mxon lresident elected.

Ho ping that theso eight years may 'havo blot ted tho rcmembranco of their misdeeds out of tho minds of tho pcoplo, tho opposition are now making another attempt to get possession of tho Government. It iJ said that "a burnt child dreads tho firo ;" aud surely tho people of tho United States havo boon burnt by tho opposition often enough to havo learned a useful lesson.
