It is an intetestlng contest. Two years go the nomination of that besutirul Christian, Reverend Johtt J. Pearce, was equivalent to an election; but In the present instance the nomination of Gen. Win. 11. Irvin is far from being hailed with that lively satisfaction, by the peopli, which they hoped his nomination would re ceive. - To make matters still worse for our political opponents, they are unable to as certain the full extent of the fourth degree of Know-Nothingism. .For our own part we be- hive that the ballot-boxes in the coming eke tion, ill show that the Know-Nothings arc conk ptibly weak in point of numbers. In nominating Gcn. Wm-11. Irvin, we conceive that a blunder was made by the Know - Nothings. We do not wish to say anything disrepectful of Geri. Wm. 11. Irvin, but our duty as journalists compel us to warn the citizens of this district against all political mountebanks, and not have the district dis graced as it wan last winter, by a trimmer, who did not hesitate to disgrace his calling by acts which will forever disqualify him from receiving the suffrages of the honest, religious and temperate portion of the com munity. We need not now mention what these scut arc—they arc known ; It remains with the people,.whetber they will have an other disgrace put upon them by Gen. Van. IL Irvin, who is now associating with John J. Pearce and speaking from the same plat. form. A man should be judged by the cam- pany ho keeps. It in a duty which the people of this dis trict owe to themselves, to redeem and ele• e , tite it to its former position.l It has formerly [menthe !ride of the people of this district to send honest and reliable mkn CO Congress, whom they could look to with pride—both by Whigs and Democrats—such men as John Blanchard, Ge u. James Irvin anßJames Gamble, who have reflected honor and credit to the district. The Democracy have a candidate in the• Allison White, of w hom they may just ly be proud, who is honest, capable and de- serving, and who has been placed in nomi nation by the united voice of the Democracy of piiirdistriet, through their regularly cho sen delegates. We call upon the Demise racy of "old Centre" to arouse and poll a full vote, and the election of Allison White is secured.' If this course had been adop-, ted I.a E fall, the Democratic ticket would have been elected.• Let this error of last tear open the eyes of the Denuxwacy of Centre, to theic . ,muliar position and their true strength. They have now but to stretch roiu, theirraiia to secure) al:riumiffiiiiirvia; tory. . - Democrats who hese been dece 4ved . into the order of Know-Nothingism, let them abandon their (also position, and with the Democratic ticket, the whole Democratic ticket, and nothing bet the Democratic ticket inscribed on our banner emcees must accompany our exertions in behalf of true men, and sound republican principles.

The Fremont press has, by lying tales of horror and, in-1 ncendiary--4 - peals, lashed the passions of the fithaties of Abolitionism into fury, and We; result is told to the country in the bloody' outrages just perpetrated.

The South looses by the three-lithe repre sentation, twelve Congress m en ; because, in making up the inhabitant/ of the South for representation, two fifths of the slaves are' thrown out. It; takes 93,713 inhabitants, North and South, to mike a. Congressman. In the North, whites, blacks. Women, child re% ars :I',:tons are counted.

The South het nerer mimed freemen to slavery. The North hat induced millions to per petual slavery, they and their posterity. The guilt ,of, slavery, of making slaves, stains not the South. It does crimson the North all over. The South protested against the introduc time of slavery, and passed law; prohibiting it, which were vetoed by royalty. The South petitioned and remonstrated royal authority against the injustice and in jury of slavery. When the North desired to get rid of sla very it had the means of doing so, and at the same time of realising the full value of every slave, and of getting them without trouble or expense beyond their botders• The Northdias never re/ft/don acre to ale. very. The South has yielded her indubitable rights, to an extent of territory sufficient to make fifty free States larger them Massachu setts, and without any equivalent. The South hail constantly the subject of slavery under discussion, its advantages sod mode of extinction. The difficulties with which the South had and has to oontend, and which the North had not, are ei follows : harm The South cannot receive payment for her slaves as the North did. This single item involves the loss to the South of Overby° thousand millions of dol lars, which they would receive if they had a market for them outside of their titbits. This fact alone should cause the exercise of the utmost charity in the judgment of the North, who enjiiy the proceeds of their emancipation.

INFAMOUS There is a paper published under the •us picea of the American Temperance Union, called the " Yontre Temperance Advocate," which is circulated in Sabbath Schools and by thousands in other ways among child ren. In a late number it contained in • leading article, the following monstrous lie : ' "Tux PRESIDE :4711.-AR the . talk now Ls about the new President ; and we much fear that while the minded men aro engrased by thin, we shall ho able to get but few meeting* for temperance., But we must ab 4 be dieconraged, or have the sohjectlyr gotten.

What a deliberate, wilful, mmodrous falsehood is here presented to deceive and mislead the unsuspecting children of the land ! Hero are professed Christian minis ters deliberately uttering the infamous lie that James Buchanan "will go for Me ex tension of klarerl." Here, by men of whom truth at least is expected, the sons and daughters of Democrats, who are sent to the Sabbath School to receive religious instruc tion, are taught that tho Democratic candi date for the Presidency, who never owned a , isrltvrctin—uslus—lME, 'rind in defence of slavery, or whispered a sentence in favor of its extensien, or cast vote which any hqnest man 'ould construe into x wish to support the institution, is meanly-denounced as a alavry propagan dist! Truly this is i depth of meanness. and mendacity and moral depravity which -was never reached even in pstfliies until these "political priests" entered the field. *very intelligent man knows that neither burni Duchantin nor_thc Dciactretic, favors the extension of slavery. As the Belfast Journal says, both the history and principles of the Democratic party afford a triumphant refutation of this malicious charge. 'Bone know this better than those who make it. The recluse 'who thinker it thit.ks a lie. The stump orator who speaks it speaks a lie. The editor who publishes it publishes a lie. The clergyman who preach es it preaches a lie, and the deacon who prays it prays a lie. All such may wdl claim direct linet.go from a noted character often alluded to in the sacred scriptures, and properitcharacttrized as the father of liars. —N. 11. Pairtol.
