Foreshado wings.
Recent elections in different parts of this
State, have resulted in such overwhelming de
feats of the Opposition, that we may safely con
clude that a powerful re-action is at present go
ing on in favor of the National Democracy.
We have already given an account of the re
sult in Lancaster, where the Democrats made a
nett gain of 519 votes, since last fall, and also
of that in Harrisburg, which was carried by the
Opposition at the last general election, but
which was recently redeemed to the Democra
cy, by the handsome majority of 170 votes.
We have now the satisfaction of adding Holli
daysburg and Altoona, (both of which gave
Opposition majorities, last fall) to the list of re
generated boroughs. In Hollidaysburg the
Democrats made almost a clear sweep, whilst
in Altoona they lost but one or two of their
nominees. No unusual local excitements iflu
enced these elections. They were decided on
the fair issue between Democracy and Section
alism, between the conservative sentiment of the
country and the political incendiarism of the
followers ofjJohn Brown and the preachers
of his gospel. But these results are merely
thefaiat foreshadowings of "coming events," of
victories which shall add fresh glory to the
Democratic causp, of triumphs infinitely prou
der and more brilliant, the election of a Dem
ocratic Governor in October next, and the in
auguration of a Democratic President on the
fourth of March, 1861.
Republican State Convention.
This incongruous and heterogeneous assem
blage met in Harrisburg, on Wednesday of last
week, and nominated ANDREW G. CURTIN, of
Centre county, as its candidate for Governor.
Its sessions were a scene of perpetual storm,
faction warring with faction and demagogue
with demagogue. The friends of Simon Cam
eron, after a hard struggle, succeeded in hav
ing a resolution adopted by the Convention,
recommending him as its choice for President.
During the discussion of this resolution, a per
fect thunder-shower of denunciation fell upon
poor Simon. At length, however, a compro
mise was effected, by which Cameron will get
about one-half, or at most, two-thirds of the
Pennsylvania delegation to Chicago. The Con
. vention was organized by the Cameronians, who,
as the most truckling tool they could find, elec
ted Francis Jordan, temporary, chairman, the
said Francis, we presume, having earned his
title to that position by his essays on "Buzzard
Feasts" in 1855. Cuitin, the nominee for ,
Governor, was Pollock's secretary ol state, a
regular jing-law man, and can be beaten 20,000 I
votes.
The Bill for the sale of the poor House-
The general provisions of this Bill, as pub
lished by us, last week, we conceive to be cor
rect and salutary. We would, however, sug
gest that the clause permitting the Commission
ers to expend S2OOO over and above the sum
for which the present Poor House property may
sell, in the purchase of another propeity and
the erection of buildings upon it, is unnecessa
ry, if not ext rat-agent. We think thai, with
proper management, the Poor House Mill and
Farm can be disposed of for such a sum as will
purchase another properly and pay for the buil
dings necessarily erected upon it. It is entire
ly and utterly wrong to increase the county
debt, or to create any cause lor its increase, at
least at present. Let us first get rid of the debt
that is resting upon us already, and then we
may talk of additional expenditures on public
improvements. But if the proceeds of the sale
of the Poor House AMI and Farm, be made the
maximum cost of the property to be purchased
and the buildings to be erected, we shall wish
the Bill and all who support it, a hearty God
speed.
THE SPRING ELECTIONS.
Too little importance is generally attached
to the Spring elections. It is as necessary to
have competent township and borough officers,
as it is to have county and state offices filled
with good men. True, the duties of the former
are not so arduous, important and difficult as
those pertaining to the latter, but still an igno
rant, selfish, negligent, or dissipated borough, or
township official, may be the cause of much
trouble and injury to the community in which
he holds office. We think it, therefore, our
duty to call upon our friends to turn out to the
spring elections and see that the right kind of
men are elected to oflicp. As Democrats, we
should feel it our bounden duty to go to the e
lections—to ail elections, whether great, or
small, important, or unimportant—and see that
tbe right is sustained. Let us, therefore, enjoin
upon you, friends, not to forget the third Friday
of March, for on that day you can, it you will,
do an important service to yourselves, your par
ty and your country.

Local and Miscellaneous.
—BURGLARY. A BOLD ACT.— On Friday,
night last, the fancy store of MRS. S. E. POTT 3,
of this place, was burglariously entered and
some twenty six dollars, in old Spanish quarters
and twelve-and-a-half cent pieces taken there
from. The effected at the front
door, the modus operandi of the thief consisting
in the boring of holes, with a large auger, in
that part of the door at which the lock, or bolt,
was fastened, the holes being so bored as to
form an aperture large enough to admit a aian's
hand. Two holes were also bored some dis
tance above the lock. The inmates of the
house were wakened from sleep, by the opera
tions of the thief, and, we believe, discovered
the gentleman in the act of emptying the
money-drawer. The alarm was given, but
before the neighbors could be roused, the bitd
had down. As yet there is no clue to the
perpetrator of this daring robbery.
—Pursuant to previous notice, a large num
ber of the good people of Bedford assembled in
the Hall of the Union School House, on Friday
evening last, for the purpose of l'slening to an
address on Educational matters, by Hon. H. C.
Hickok, State Supeiintendent of Common
| Schools. Mr. Hickok's discourse was well
I received, as it deserved to be, for it was really
I a splendid effort. As loDg as we have a man
| like Henry C. Hickok at the head of the com
| mon Schools of our State, we need not fear for
I the cause of popular education. Energetic,
| practical, eloquent and effective in the advcoa-
Icy of nis favorite system, he is admirably fitted
for the position he occupies. The meeting
very properly passed a vote of thanks to the
speaker, for bis interesting and instinctive ad
dresc.
Prof. Dickerson, the able Principal of the
Union School, preceded Mr. Hickok, in a
speech replete with logic, facts and sound com
mon sense. We were well pleased with his
remarks, ns were all whom we heard ex
press themselves on the subject.
Francis Jordan telegraphs that there was
much "discussion" in the late "Republican"
Convention, but that all ended harmoniously.
A part of the discussion to which Francis refers,
relates to his right to take the chair, when a
mid "confusion he stepped
upon the platform to assume it. During this
discussion a delegate very impertinently told
Mr. Jordan that his taking the Chair was a
"dirty usurpation." As to all ending harmo
niously, see our Harrisburg letter in an anoth
er column.
—The editor having gone to the State Con
vention, all peculiarities of stylp, orthography,
"making up," etc., etc., must be attributed to
his deputy, a young gentleman veiy frequent
ly, though unjustly, denominated "tbedevil." j
—ln our account of the case of Samuel Barn- j
hart vs. The President and managers of the
Chambersburg and Bedford Turnpike Road j
Company, given in our last, we omitted to
state that the original verdict of the Jury was'
$871.00 which under direction of the Court!
was charged to $799.00, which was abated by
by the Conn io $730.00, the suin for which
judgement was entered.
LETTER FROM HARRISBURG.
Mr. Editor:
The "Republican" Convention has been
the stormiest that I havo ever seen. After a
bard fight, Jordan was elected Temperary Chair
man. Gov. Pollock was afterwards made Per- i
manent Chairman. The leading actors in the
Convention, were old Democrats, such as Judge
Frailey, Purviar.ce, Morrow B. Lowty,&c., &c.
I never heard ano public man so bitterly de
nounced as was Cameron bv Marshall of Alle
gheny. Curtin was nominated on the second
ballot—having 67 votes out of 133.
The Resolution instructing for Cameron was
carried after a hard fight, by a two third vote.
The resolution that delegates from the several
Congressional districts name the delegates to the
Chicago Convention, was amended as follows
viz :
"■Provided, That this resolution shall not
prevent the delegates from the several congress
ional districts, who have been already electeu,
from tak ; ng their seats in the Chicago Conven
tion : and provided further, that in such con
gressional districts in which the delegates may
decline making the selection of delegates to the
Chicago Convention, the question shall be re
ferred back to the people.
Although the resolution instructing for Cam
eron passed, an amendment was insetted which
declares substantially that the instructions
should apply only to the delegates elected by
the Convention—thus leaving one third, ana
perhaps one half, of the delegation to Chicago
in the hands of the enemies of Cameron * *
The feeling here is very bitter, and I may
safely say that one third of the whole crowd
art dissatisfied and talk of open rebellion.
Yours,
HARRISBURC Feb. 23d. *

The Opposition Convention.
The Opposition State Convention terminated
its labors by designating Simon Cameron as the
choice of the People's party of Pennsylvania
tor President of the United States, and by
nominating Andrew G. Curtin as its candidate
for Governor. The Convention was charac
terized by great disorder throughout, and at
times presented more the appearance of a mass
meeting or a mob than a grave and dignified
representative body. This arose, in a great
measure, from the incongruous nature of the
material [collected together. {Every shade,
stripe and hue of Opposition to the Democratic
party were met together, with no other bond
of sympathy than a common hatred of the
principles of the great national party, and a
common desire for the spoils of victory. There
were mpn who had been Whigs, men who had
been Know-Nothings, men who had voted for
Fillmore, men who voted tor Fremont, and
men who had been Democrats. There were
also men who had in turn espoused atid aban
doned nearly every party, and were first Whigs
or Democrats, then Know-Nothings, then Re
publicans, then Opposition, and finally People's
party. There were men who have abused
Cameron without stint and lauded him without
reason—men who in 1855 signed the celebra
ted "Buzzards' Feast" protest, denouncing him
as the worst and most corrupt of mortals, un
fitted for the United States Senate, met in
3860 to present him with acclamations a3 the
most worthy statesman, qualified to adorn the
Presidencj'. ft was, in truth, an assemblage
of men who had, in the course ot a few years,
affirmed and denied almost every political
principle—a thing of shreds and patches—an
incongruous jumble of political inconsistencies.
This was the character of the Convention
which met in this place in the pretended name
ot the people, to designate candidates for Presi
dent and Governor and to purify the politics of
the State.
Ex-Gov. Pollock was very happily selected
to provide over this assemblage, he being the
living representative of the dangerous and
ephemeral nature of what the Opposition dig
nify with the name of principle. Once elec
ted Governor by an overwhelming majority of
the people misled by momentary excitement,
his administration proved a signal failure, and
he retired from office marked with popular
disapproval, after the most unsuccessful and
odious administration which the State ever
witnessed. On the present occesion he appear
ed again on the surface to inaugurate another
movement more disgraceful and dangerous than
the one with which his name is unhappily
associated.
The person designated as (he choice of this
Convention lor President was assailed on the
floor of the Convention with the utmost power
of intense hatred. If half that was said against
him by party friends is true, then his party i
enemies have but to repeat their statements to
show that the Convention presented, as its
candidate, one who ought not to be President
of the Unite States. This war upon the candi
date of the majority was so fierce and determin
ed, that they were compelled to abandon the
original programme ot selecting "all the dele
gates to Chicago, and to accede to demands
which must result in a divided delegation.—
The result will be to admit some of Gen. i
Cameron's most decided enemies from this
State into the Chicago Convention, and thus
far to damage his prospects. The plan of a
united delegation was not full carried.
Andrew G. Curtin, the candidate for Gover
nor, was Secretary of State under the Pollock
administration. VY'e have ample time to ex
amine his claims hereafter. At prpseQ wf
can oly say thai if the charges brought against
him by members of his own party, of acts
performed while in connection with that ad
ministration, can be substantiated, he is destin
ed to suffer a defat more overwhelming than
that once administered by the people to his
grandfather, Andrew Gregg.
From Pike's Peak.
NEW DISCOVERIES.
LEAVENWORTH, K. T., Feb. 25.—The Pike's
Peak express arrived this morning, with §2,500
in gold and the mails.
The news is meagre.
Good "prospects had been obtained in the
mountains, between Denver City and Gregory's
mines. Two cords ot quartz, mingl-d with py
rate ot iron, had yielded, after crushing, $1,700
in gold.
A train of breaJstuffs and produce had arri
ved from New Mexico.
A new and extremely rich gulch had been
discovered ten miles from Gregory's old dig
gings.
Sews from New Mexico.
INDEPENDENCE, MO., Feb. 25.—The Santa Fe
mail dates to the 23d and 29th ult., arrived
here to-day. This mail was accompanied by
an escort of troops from Fort Union. No In
dians wew seen on the route. The snow wis
very deep from Fort Union to Rabbit Ear, and
thence on the roads were verv muddy. The
traders on the Plains, for want of trade with
the Indians, were killing large numbers of
wolves and buffaloes.
LOSS OF A WESTERN STEAMER.
CINCINNATI, Feb. 2+.— The steamer E. A.
Ogden wassu.ik in the Missouri river, abo'e
Jefferson City, on Wednesday. She is a total
loss, and the cargo, which was very valuable, is
considerably damaged. The boat was valued at
$16,000, and insured in Pittsburg offices for
SIO,OOO.
METHODISTS. —The minutesofthe Mothodists
which are annually reported with great prec
sion, show that all the divisions of that church
in America have 11,45S traveling preachers
and 1,880,169 communicants; ia Europe, 3,235
traveling preachers aud 772,622 communicants
in all 14,933 traveling preachers and 2,548,
190 lay members. Its missionary organizations
include over 3,000 laborers ; its educational in
stitutions comprise 138 colleges and academies
it has 36,000 local preachers, making with its
itinerants, a ministerial force of nearly 50,000
men.
A Spanish bam American citizen has been
claimed by the Spanish authorities at Cuba, for
military services, and required to furnish a sib
stitute or nay one thousand dollars for his *e
lease. His release was demanded by the Uni
ted States, but refused, and the Consul paid
one thousand dollars for the release, under pro
test.
DEATH of A CENTENNARIAN.—Mr. Thonas
Wilmarth, aged 102 years, died *at his farn at
Lockland station, near Cincinnati, on theJ2d

I GOLD MINE IN BUCKS COUNTY, PA. —The
Doylestown (Pa) Demoaiat, ol the 21st inst.,
publishes a letter from Wm. E Dubois, assistant
Assayer at the Philadelphia Mint, which states
that gold is contained in a lead ore or galena,
from New Britain township, along the North
Branch creek, within three miles of Doylestown
This ore, according to the assay, would produce
not quite ten cents worth to the ton. Hardly
enough to create much of a rush to the "dig
gins," we think.
COMMON SCHOOLS IN NEW HAMPSHIRE. —The
number of school districts is 2,392, whole num
ber of scholars 86,708, average atteudance 55,-

HOLLOWAY'S PILLS AND OINTMENT.—A
word to our fair readers— Health.lke fair basis
of beauty —Pimples, blotches, and all skin
diseases—A clear complexion is not only
essential to female loveliness but it is equally
an external evidence of health—while sailow
ness, pimples and all cutaneous eruptions are
indicative ot a disturbed condition of the
stomach and liver. Upon these organs the
famous aperient and tonic known as Holloway's
Pills, act with a directness, precision and rapidi
ty unparalleled in Medical Science while the
Ointment purges the vesicles of the skin and
imparts a brilliancy arid roseate tint to that
deiicate envelope. All who value health and
beauty should beware ol tampering with sosmd
ics as they are not only pernicious but highly
dangerous to health.

"Whom the Gods love, die young." Alas!
' a pensive sadnesss steals o'er the spirit when
| we behold the garland of friendship blasted by
I the untimely approach of death, as in his iron
grasp, he severes the tender links and bears a
way its loveliest blossom.
The subject of this notice was a lovely, ami
able and intelligent child. Being blest "with a
pious example and instruction, we need not
wonder that she early learned to look upon the
pomp and vanietiesol the world as unworthy of
her attention. Though autraundcl bv Ihe temp
tation and allurements of the world, she heeded
them not, preferring that pleasure and happi
ness that proceeds from a performance of duty
! towards God.
j It was with agonized hearts that her parents
traced the rapil progress ot disease in their i
dolized child ; she was to them as the light of
their eyes. Her presence brought sunshine to
their sauls, and they looked forward to many
happy years in her society. But God has wil
led otherwise, and though their hearts are bow
ed and oppressed with grief, yet should they re
member " Whom the Lord loveth he ctiasten
eth."
To her death had no terrors, and though the
grave was dark and gloomy, yet ail beyond was
bright and joyous.
She is gone, yet in imagination we see that
fair unsullied cheek, arid the clear and dream
ing eye whose brightness and winning glances
spoke of a soul of love and beamy.
She is laid to rest in the freshness of early
feeling, while her young heart throbbed with
brightest hopes. She is gone like a morning
cloud and the early dew. Her bosom is cold
which once with love was warm. She has pas
sed away while her thoughts were as pure as
the upper sky, and as sweet as an opening blos
som. She is laid to rest in the voiceless tomb,
and the cold damp dew of the grave is glisten
ing on her youthful brow. The clod of the
valley has thrown back its last harsh echo as it
fell upon the lid of her [cell. She is in deep
dreamless sleep. Her spirit too pure and love
ly for earth now with folded pinions is salely
lodged in the palace ot angels and God,
"And a new harp is strung, and a new song is
given
To the breezes that float o'er the garden of
Heaven,"

Ihe Reaper came in the morning, and took
the opening flower to transplant it in the garden

shall sweetly bloom, clothed with immortal
beauty, and graceful with heavenly fiagrance.
Death came in the morning, and a dear child
was conveyed to the embrace of the loving Sa
viour, who said, "Suffer little children to come
unto me and forbid them not, for of such is the
kingdom ol heaven.
"'T'were sweet, indeed,
A little longer to have drawn her smile
into the heart'of love and see her do,
With all her graceful singleness of soul,
A Saviour's bidding, But be still—be still—
Ye who did guard her up to heaven, and walked
E'en to its gates in her blest company
It she hath entered first, what then ? Be still,
And let the few brief sands of life roll on ;
And keep your armor bright, and waiting stand,
For her warm welcome to the realms of bliss,"

GRENADA, Miss., June 5, 1855.
Dr. Seth S. Hance, Baltimore, Md.—Dear Sir : 1
take great pleasure in relating a case of spasms or
fits, cured by your invaluable Pills. My brother,
J.J. Ligon, has long been afflicted with this awful
disease. He was first attacked while quite young.
He would have one or two spasms at one attack at
first ; but as he grew older, they seemed to increase
likewise. Up to the time he commenced taking
your Pills, he had them very often and quite severe
prostrating him body and mind. His mind had suf
fered seriously ; but now, lam happy to say, he is
cured of those fits. He has enjoyed fine health for
the last five months past. His mind has also re
turned to its original sprightliness. All this I take
a great pleasure in communicating, as it may be
the means of directing others to the remedy that
will cure them. Yours respectfully, j-c.,
W. P. LIGON.
No person who is suffering trom Fits, or Spasms,
should neglect sending to Dr. Hance, after this, for
a supply of his inestimable medicine. His prices are
as follows : one box S3 ; two $5 ; twelve $21 —sent
by mail free, on the receipt of a remittance. Ad

are a sovereign remedy. They have never been

DIRECTIONS. —Take two or three going to bed,
every second or third night. If they do not purge
two or three times by next morning, take one or two
more. A slight breakfast should invariably follow
their use.
The Liver Pills mar also he used where purging
is simply necessary. As an anti-bilious purgative
they are inferior to none. And in doses of twooi
