Mate Senator.
As we anticipated, and as will lie seen
by reference to tKo proceedings of the ]
Peoples’ Comity Convention, published in I
another column, our townsman, Col. L.
W. Hall, received the almost unanimous
nomination, so far as this -county is con-1
earned, for State Senator. Considering I
the effortsmade to bring about a different
result —the contest lying between Judge I
McCone, a popular and clever gentleman, f
andiCol H;—the vote, as recorded, shows
4ho unanimity of sentiment ‘Which pre-1
vailed in his favor and his popularity with
his party at home. If it he possible for
the Peopled Party to carry this district
for Senator —and taking the vote of last
fall as a criterion there appear tohe j
a strong probability that euoh will be the
<Jaae, wo should like to see Col. H nominated
by the Conference, believing that he can
poll as large a vote in the! other counties
ties in the district and . a much larger vote
at home than any other man who could
havebeen selected, andfromJßlair the hea
vy vote must come to elect the Peoples’
candidate.
A great disideratum in selecting a can
didate for this office is to get one who has
the ability and the nerve to stump the
district, and in this particular the Peoples’
Convention was fortunate in its choice, as
the gentleman named combines both in
an esnineat degree.
Jf his party in the other counties in the
district act wisely, the nomination will un
doubtedly be conceded to the nominee of
this county ; and should he Bo elected, we
know he will represent the district in a
manner creditable alike to hioiself and his
constituents, and fully Sustain the reputa
tion given it by our friend in the “town
over-fhe-hill/’. who was honored with the
respomsiMeiposition of Speaker last winter.
'Election Frauds. —From the Johns
town Tribune we loam' that the Grand
Jury of Cambria county has found true
bills against Albert F. Cantwell* Henry
Iteusph, Warner Bender, John W. Short I
and Charles Gleason, for wilful fraud in
'the discharge of their duties as 'officers of
' the election held in Washington township
on the i2th of October, 1858. Our only
.wonder is that justice in this case has
been so. long delayed, as from what we
have heretofore published, in connection
with the able charged Judge Taylor on
tiie contested election,case, it. must be ap
parent to every one that the men named
were guilty of a-flagrant'ahddanng viola
tion of one of the most sacred trust that
could be committed to men in a free cpun
fay. she finding of bills against these
men and bringing them before a court of
-justice is no party scheme, hut a matter in
which every hon est and rightminded man,
without distinction of party, must feel an
interest. If they are guilty of the crime
hud to their charge, of which, there .now
appears to be little, if any doubt, should
they not receive the reward the law pre
| scribes? and Should it be meeted out to
| them to its full extent, will npt every one
| sayiuneo to it? If they be permitted to
eKapcij the ends of public justice will be
subverted, and the ballot-box, the palladi
um of our liberty, be at the mercy of law
lees men in every district. Let them have
their reward.

The questions of our correspondent take a up, must date its demise from the y o e
pretty wide range, but we will endeavor, as far_ BpnaparUst alliance,
as possible, to answer them in their order.—
First, then, os to the real cause of the war; it
is exceedingly complex, being made np of the
ambition and the necessities of Louis Napoleon,
the wautspf the Bonaparte family, the ambition
of* the Sardinian royal house, and the ardent
aspiration of the Italians for national indepen
dence. These various springs of action having
combined France and Sardinia to attack Aus
tria, that power, knowing that war was resolved
upon, and that all proposals of negotiation, me
diation, and what not,, were but so many diplo
matic devices to gain time for the completion of
the French and Sardinian preparations, finally
took the bold resolution of commending hostili
ties herself, and, at the beginning of MSy, oc
cupied the Lomellina,.a rich, Sardinian province
between the rivers Ticino, Po,'and Seals, with
an army of some 150,000 men. By this step
she assumed the immense responsibility of ac
tually breaking the peace of Europe ; she has
gained by it the support of her army of occupa
tion, for a month at least, at the expense pf
Sardinia.
Bat -lei us leak a little mere closely at the
dements of which the efficient cause of the war
is composed. Of these the personal impulses
which govern Louis Napoleon ate the most in
fluentiaU Emulous of the renown of the first
Napoleon, , he-desires glory; but be desires. also
to leave his:son and the Napoleonic dynasty in
possession ■of the throne of France. To this
end, : war and military success are indispensable,
not Only as satisfying the appetite of the army
on whose bayonets he was home into the Tuile*
aid) as enlisting in his service the en
thusiasm'. of the French nation. Martial tri
umph abroad makes tyranny, and the tyrant,
and the -tyrant’s successors, beloved and safe
at home; and such triumph, for such objects,
Louis Napoleon is now pursuing. , The tradi
tions and interests of the Bonaparte family he
also no doubt keeps steadily in view.. Thus it
is plain that be intends to establish his burly
and bothersome cousin ’Prince Napoleon.cn a
new throne in Central Italy, where the King of
Sardinia has just been compelled to abandon his
claims-to Tuscany, which he had begun to
nex to his own dominions. Whether Napoleon
HI, will try to restore the Murat dynasty at
Naples is hot so clear—the present representa
tive of that branch of,the Bonaparte fine being
rather too much of a fool to make a tolerable
King of; but nobody can well dispute that to
aggrandise himself and the Bonaparte* in .gen
eric along with him is the supreme end of his
career. In this respect he faithfully cherishes
the inunctions laid down in the famous will of
his putative uncle. At the same time he prob
ably -finds a keen pleasure in the consciousness
that he,is undoing the work of the Vienna Con
gress, and revising and reversing all that long
history of the coalition against Napoleon I.
which,culminated in the catastrophe of Water
loo. That catastrophe too, will also be avenged
at the right moment if Napoleon HI. can have
Es way; and then, if hot before, he will restore
to France her natural northern boundary, the
Rhine. But it will probably be seine time be
fore' that eonsumation is reached.
The ambition of the ’ King of Sardinia'is a
mere genial 'and generous passion than any we
can attribute to Napoleon 111, for the reason:
that he is a much more genial and generous fel
low. The representative of one of the oldest
ruling families in Europe, with dominions which,
the'settlement .of 1816 considerably increased, ;
and with .a degree of-political fairness and hon-:
esty which hashot been common among Euro
pean princess, we can easily tolerate if opt ap-|
plaud bis wish to add to his dominions the rich;
and populous provinces of the Lombardo-Vene
tian Kingdom. But to find a truly noble mo
tive in this war, we must go to .the Italian people.:
Centuries of internal division apd discord, and
of foreign oppression have only made them
loathe the one and detest the other. And ap
the foreigninfluence -obiefly maintains the nar
tionai disunity, it ih the foreign; or rather the
Austrian domination which aboyp all they hp.te;
and whose abolition they .most urgently long
for. “ Oit with the Austriarfs I” is their cry |
and in the whole range of European politics;
there is no purpose and no hope more worthy of
entire success than this of theirs.
This-brings us to the question: With which
party should Americans and Republicans feel a
sympathy! We answer that our sympathies
must bo eptirely and exclusively, with the Ital
ians.. No generous heart in the.whole world but
must be Warmly engaged in their interest.-j-
But, for this very reason, bur regret is only the
more poignant at seeing them and their nobib
patribtisifi used for bis own selfish, ends by such
a man as Louis Napoleon. If they were anima
ted by any base and contemptible motive, one
| might see them fall into his wiles without u
j pang; but os it is,?there ia something inexpres
sibly tragic in the spectacle. We know verjjr
well what many intelligent Italians say on this
point ; we have also read Kossuth's speeches;
but.in onr judgment, they are misled by: theip
feelings and their desires. ' They are not iso
much the dupes of Louis Napoleon as of their
own hopes. Forgetting that if Italy is freed b|y
bis arms she must then submit to his dictation,
■ they delude themselves into a; wilful confidence
ip his present honesty. Putting the antece
dents of the m ft n opt of sight, they conceive
that be has mw become sincere, disinterested
and philanthropic. Bat what sort of liberty is
the tyrant of France likely to bestow,on Italy?
Will be tolerate in his Italian dependents a de
gree^of freedom which he does not permit to
his French subjects! Will be give them the
liberty of the press? Will he allow an inde
pendent legislature among them ? Will they be
a whit freer to manage their own affairs in their
own way after the expulsion of the Austrians
than they were before? And will the change
be any other than that which consists in receiv
ing orders from Paris instead of Vienna ? And
! what will be the advantage of being under
French ; rather than Austrian despotism? It is
true that in some v respects die French is the
less brutal, the more cunning, and infinitely
the more hypocritical of the two; but, ns re
spects the great interests of political freedom
and social progress in Italy, the one is, in our
judgment just as good as the other. And as
this war is, to all substantial intents, waged be
tween the French and the Austrian autocrats,"
with the Italians only used ns a pretext and a
make-weight by one of them, it, appears to us
preeminently a war for Americans and Repub
licans to observe as disinterested spectators;
judging the acts of both parties and the vary
ing phases of the struggle with equal and im
partial justice; and hoping that from the
at mutual destruction of those two gigantic des
potisms some unknown higher good may yet be
providentially evolved for mankind.

The Maebiage Relation Among Slaves.—
The Episcopal Convention of South Carolina has
declared that the marriage relation binds slave
andmaster equally; that every Christian master
should so regulate the sale or disposal of a mar
ried slave as not to infringe the Divine injunction,
forbidding the separation of husband and wife-;,
that where involuntary, and final separation of
married slaves has occurred, the case of the suf
ferers is to be distinguished from any human
agency 1 which has separated them. The master
is responsible to God for disregarding his com
maads; the slaves fire entitled to sympathy and
consideration; that in such cases of separation,
where neither party is in fault, and where sep
aration appears to be permanent and final, the
refusal to allow a second marriage would often
produce much evil and hardship, and this con
vention,' in giving its. judgement in favor of such
marriage's, would do so in the qualified language
Applied by the. Apostles in case of self-restraint
—“ If they cannot contain,'let them marry; for
it is better to marry than to burn.”
A Fact on Impobtakce to Faembes.— lt is
stated that in 1817 a heavy frost destroyed all
the wheat and most of the other crops in the
month of June. Many of the'farmers mowed
their wheat fields to secure the straw for fodder.
In a few days the wheat sprouted out ugaiu at
the root and on such fields as were not plowed
up or pastured a very fine crop was realised.—
As corroborative of this fact a friend informs
us that some wheat which was killed by the re
cent terrible frost is sprouting already, although
the old stalk is still standing. It is'coining tip
thicker on the ground than before, and as the
whfcat was very light on many fields, it may
turn out that the frost has really done good in
many instances. There la another benefit also
arising from the severity of the frost. It, is al
leged that the weevel is \ destroyed. If tbis is
generally the case, the loss of a single wheat
crop will not be so sorely felt, for of late years
the crop has been almost ruined, in Inany sec
tions, by the ravages ofthis insect pest. i|
Dbspebatb Combat. —Last Sunday morning
a severe conflict took place between a cat bird
and n copper-headed snake, in the alley in the
rear of the Episcopal Church, in this city, which
attracted a number of persons to the spot by
the fluttering and screaming of the bird. The
combat was a most determined and desperate'
one, lasting, it is said, by those who witnessed
it, probably half an hour, in which the snake
appeared to act on the defensive. For somo
time the conflict Was doubtful—now the snake
seemed to have the best of it, and now the bird—
until, finally the bird with a savage scream and
rapid swoop, lit upon him “like a duck on a
June bug,” and effectually settling his hash.—
The snake, was a venomous cpppor i -head and

Bibqqp Pisses OH *f*XAB.— The J^ev.
Bishop Pierce, now journeying through Texas
on his way, overland, to the great Eldorado of
the West, thus writes of our new and flourish
ing sister of the soutbvreBt|{ .. ,
“Texas is a curious -a-paradox.—-
Everything is in the superlative, ot contradic
tory, or marvelous. It.iS the richest and the
poorest-rhas the best land;, the meanest water;
is the hardest country Jtp live in, and hao the
most to live on ; the days ore the hottest and
the nights the coolest; the best roads and the.,
slowest travel ; the finest building material and
the least use mode of it ; there are m«e clouds
and less rain; more pldins and less timber;
more ropes to tie horses and yet more estrays;
a poor country for faming andjyet the most
producive; the least woxjkj and the largest.yield ;
the horses are small ! apd the cattle big; -the
frogs have boras and the {rabbits have ears like
mules; tho people are intelligent without gen
eral education—inventive,' without-being tricky
—refined without mannerism —-rich v without
money—hospitable without bouse—bold, gener
ous and brave. In fiheL here is an etopire in
extent and resources, kjut in the slowest pro
cess of evolution and yet destined to population,
wealth and power. There is much to admire,
but little to deplore; rainy things to enchant,
but few to offend ; and for the people and their
institutions, there is a splendid future.”
Elopement ExTBAoinisAET. —An occurrence
which has given rise to !» good deal of excite
ment, took place, a fev| days since, in Oxford
township, Chester County- A young lady—a
white woman, respectably connected—was liv
ing in a farmer’s family ; fb a domestic. A ma r
latto was employed on the farm as a laborer! —
The two became en.amored of each.other and
resolved to marry. The party to whom they,
applied to perform the' ebremony, bqwever, de
clined. Before the marriage waa bffected the
girl’s parents were informed of the condition of
things. They were hbrror stricken and over
whelmed with shame. !No time was lost, qhd
every ’effort was made by tbem to dissuade the
deluded girl to forego her purpose. Her broth
er also remonstrated with her, os only abrother
can. All efforts, bowqvcr, to induce her to
give up her swarthyi lover were unavailing—-
j They only made her cling to him closer. The
I matter became noised about the neighborhood,
i and a disposition was manifested to lynch the
I black fellow. This came to ihe ears of the in
fatuated girl. ..She met the dusky fellow.—
Their purpose was at icnce taken, they deter
mined to elope togethbr;‘ ;and did sb. They dis
appeared from the neighborhood about ten days
ago, and have not sinpe beep heard from. It
iis supposed they have; gone West The girl’s
I parents are almost distracted. — Village Record.

What a Coontbt OlbrOtman thinks or the
Opera. —The editor ofi the Qospet Ednntr, who
is also an esteemed ciofigyinan in Maine, hav
ing recently visited jtbfi opera at Boston, gives
his impression as follpws: ! ’
“ The music of thclbrchesttn, and now and
then a strain of the singing, were fine, bat the
performance, as a whole, we thought a bore. —
Whiskered men and painted women, trickedput
in plush and tiosel, growling, and grunting,
and shrieking, and squalling, sometimes in soio
and then in duet, and anon the whole swarm,
like so many cats, gesticulating, and menacing,
and embracing,, and frowning and going through
with all sorts of anficsj in a gibberish that no
body can understand—that is the Italian opera
as we heard and saw:it.i To us—and we profess
not only to Have a eatf but two'ears for music
—a quiet seat on a mossy rock, near some-pond
full of frogs, would baffi been quite as edifying,
mid nqarly as musical.” . :*
A New Kind or Ineeekal Machine.— The
Columbus Journal is rfifiponsible for the follow
ing: “A professional-gentleman, living in the
southern part of tho'city. was the victim, yes
terday, of a most malignant attempt of assassin
ation. die had stepped from his office on a
business errand, and on his return found several
small nuts lying upon ihe table, and, wondering
how they got there, tofik one find placed it be
tween his teeth for the purpose of crocking,
when a load explosion; ensued, lacerating and
burning bis mouth in Shocking manner. Ex
amination showed the; remaining nuts—filberts
—to be charged.witbpswder and. friction igniting
material, calculated if'exploded in the mouth
to blofir a man’s head 'off. The sufferer knows
of no one whom he would suspect of the das
tardly act of placing; the infernal machines on
his table.; | .!i V ' . \
Terbibls Baji-boao Accident. — A terrible
accident occurred ‘on: the Michigan Southern
Bead, on Tuesday occasioned by the wash*
ing 4way%f a culvert. There were about one
handred persbhs; btall the train. Thirty-three
have been taken front! the ruins dead, and fifty
or sixty others wounded. Beet not heard from.
The train was running at the rate of twenty
miles an hour. :
To Pbbskbve Cherries.— Add to the cherries
on equal weight of' nice loaf sugar. Melt the
sugar with the fruit, taking cara not to boil.
After the sugar is melted, let them stand in a
hot place for three bditrs; then pour out in soup
plates, cover them with a thin cloth, and set in
the sun for several days. By preserving this
way, the fruit retain B its natural flaVpr and
color, and will keep the year rpund.
9&T‘- The St. John (N. B.) Morning News
sayS of a cotemporary, that '‘the most curious
part of this machine is, that he has a head, the
weakest part of him, directly between
a pair of shoulders,; strong enough to carry
more sins than.those pf any other six men in
the Province.”
