nmusrrings, might be (480;110 interest to the

There are three separate and distinct po
litical parties in this County. This always
rank opposition County of Blair, a County
that has become notorious for Its murders
and - murderers, and for its largest represen
tation of delegates in the western peniten
tiary.
By this definition of Blair County we do
not wish to insinuate that theupponition
being entirely in the majority is tho whole
cause of such notoriety, but wo would state
for the benefit of the American Republican
Abolition,Know-Nothing Free-Soil Woolley
head, Spiritual-Rapping, Free-Love, 'Ever
t:hanging, Never-Right opposition presses
in Bellefonte and Hollidaysburg, that, in our
opinion, wherever and' whenever a political
party has the ascendency or predominancy
in • County, and allows itself by virtue of
such power to become impregnanted - with
all kinds of political intrigues and vices to
maintain its strength until it is steeped with
the darkest slime of corAption, it most eve
tainly scatters its vile influence over other
society, just like the Upas tree that scatters
the shade of disease and death to all under
it. (Our friend, 0. A. Traugh of thelfolli
dayaburg Standard will please consider him
self, and party,i,fmat in.")
We spoke of three separate and distinct
parties. They are the American, • very
honorable party, the Black-Republican, a
very corrupt " conglomeration" —and the
Democratic party, • very etweitimful and
upright party. Tho two former, like the
Sal !RAU twins, are partially united on the
County ticket. Yet fight a little. Whilst on
the "State Ticket," they are like oil and
water, '-can't mix," and it is confidently
expected by all the Democratic portion of
the Community. and out a little feared by
the opposition, that Dr. Christy, the Demo
cratic candidate for Assembly, will drop
down upon the two like perlash,and mix them
into soap ; when Wm..F. Packer will pack
It down with three hundred majority, and
Nimrod Strickland with the same force will
ship the cargo up the "main line," notwith
standing
that stupenduous fraud, I
Sale," for the advocacy of which the late As
semblyman in -this County was bought.
The whole cargo will be labelled and
lelkleto Greely, hale and 'Fremont, Maripo
sa, Salt River; and as Judge Wilmot will
be in with his "proviso and atiti.tarifl
speech," particular pains will be taken.—
The cargo will be inscribed, " Right side
up," " For God's sake I" 'Tut none hut
Americans on guard to night." join
that party that will drive the country to
R-1 the quickest."
The feeling throughout this County for
Picker is warm. Ile is known and respee•
tad as the Poor man's friend." You can
not hire-an opposition speaker to speak dis
paragingly of him. But they light like a
" thousand of brick" upon the policy pur
sued by the Democratic party in relation to
the Tervitoriee, charge it with being guilty
of blood, rapine, planter, &e., ake., just
as though the Demoeratic party of Penn
sylvania governed thelemtories and ". kih
led somebody's cow" in Kansas. I have
not biased the charge of " public plunder "
made against Tien. Packer, by any honora
ble man in .thla County.
True, Raymond of the " Blair County
Whig" makes such charges. But he never
told the truth - yet, in a political matter un
leg it was by accident. Besides, when a
man gets fifty dollars and a hundred dol
lars worth of paper as a "party gift" and
stimulus to action,..he. inky afford to " lie "
its value out " without cause or provoca
cation." Nothing good is ever expected
from a Aired political -traitor. We once
thought that the charge of ' State Robbery'
had its origin in Bellefonte. It is the see
*id mature of a " certain free-love editor
there to accuse honest men with " suessur
ing wen in Ws half-bushel,' re d if it had its
birth there,we only regret other would
be
s honorable editors should become the
!flips of such s silly and urprineipled gas-
The map speakers that have visited this
aountj,iol the opposition were Wiltnot, the
"-Bock eye Mack Sinith," and Haslehurst.
The two former filled entirely, scarcely
getting a crowd large enough to give a re
epectable cheer. The latter djd admirably
Tie keifig a gentleman, received a largo and
enthusiastic audience. The treacherous
conduct of the Republican Assemblyman
lastwinter in reference to -the sale of the
Math, Line completely deadened that party
here and the stench of its deceased body
will deeply taint every effort exerted for
Wilmot's benefit.
The Democracy are at work, silently
inooeadtdly. Having placed in nomination

A DLMOCILAT OF SPRING
The Prospect of the State.
The Genius of Liberty says :—There nev
er was a better prospect for an overwhelm.
log Democratic victory in our State than at
present. Indeed many sensible men of the
opposition freely concede the election of the
Democratic State Ticket ; and we doubt
very much if the mass of the opposition have
the least hope of electing their ticket. It is
said by the knowing oiled that Baslehurst
will outrun Wilmot in Philadelphia and this
alone will elect Packer' by • tremenduous
majority. It is also confidently claimed by
the straight out Americans, that Hastaboret
utill,be neck and neck with Wilmot in -the
primal rote of the State. But let the race
between the opposing candidate. be ite it
may, there is but little defibt of the election
of Packer by a large majority. The opposi
tion is merely fighting to keep up its organ I
sation with the hope of carrying certain
counties and districts for the local offices.—
Whilst all-that is truerit does net become'

• Dear Sir:—The Democratic State iCeininit

necessary to Reellre lt, and 0!)1[111V1.11 over,

append - to 'ititr - ttrirre - ther every reffnotla
effort is made in your county to get out the
full vote of our party. We do this because
there is room to fear that a sense of security
—a conflderre in our strength -is operating
to decrease interest and pailtlyze exertion.
I The Opposition aro adapting their tactics to
this eonditioA of things, in 'failing to nomi
nate local tickets in Barks and many other
counties where Democratic majorities are
large, and in holding meetings and "tilting
forth their exertions in those pieta of the
State where they have majorities. Their ob
ject doubtless-is, that the vote shall be full
where they are strong and light where they
' are not. We 'therefore earnestly urge you
to give your influence and active aid for the
abort. time that will elapse before the elec
tion to the measures necessary to secure a
full-Democratic vote in your county. Our
fiends everywhere will be urged to co-ope
rate in this duty. and it as hoped that it will
be everywhere fully discharged. The salu
tary results of a decided victory over the
opposition at this time will be felt for years,
and will relieve us from much effort and dill
culty hereafter. It will settle all the fanati4
clams of the.day, destroy the factious spir
its who would Witt one portion of the Na
tional Confederacy against another, and ut
terly crush the (ell monster of disufilen.
Every instinct of patriotism, then, demands
our hest efforts, and every man who loves
his country. his party, and his Moe, should
now show his faith by his works -by decided,
vigorous, energetic eftort. We look to you
for it.
The candidates on the State ticket deserve
one exertions, and their SUCCORS will be ours ;
and besides', years will idapat beam, novAlkeir

SUFFERINGS OF THE RESCUED ON
- BOARD THE BRIO MARINE.
Mrs. Marvin and Mrs. Kittridge, two of
the lady pabsengers of the steamer Central
America, give the following account of the
five days spent by them on board th brig
Marine
BRIG MARINE-SOCIAL LIFE UFO', ISER.
When we got to the Marine the water
was washing and dashing over her guards,
and we were handed right into the water.—
Thirty women and twenty-six children ware
stowed into the little cabin bj. sating them
down on the floor as closely as they could
sit. The only scats in the cabin were two
or three trunks and as many stools. There
ware only seven berths in the brig. Shortly
after getting on board, tea was passed round
among us. Wo had not eaten anything
since Friday morning so it was the best tea
I ever tested. - There were only flee our;
I Ibr us all to drink out of. Sonic hard crack
ers were also passed ,bend. The cabin was
about eight feet square, the captain's and
mates rooms together, making up nearly as
much more room, were given us. The cap
tain and crew appropriated all their spare
clothing to our use. The berths wee* most
ly occupied by children.
,Mrs. -A. Ellis, of
Waterford, Washington county, Ohio, was
very sick, and had font children under her
charge. We managed to get them all into
one berth. and ever afterwards that birth
was known RR the bird's nest." The rest
of us sat around on the floor or anything we
could find, ort'ula t in nothing. I Sat down
right by the . cabin door; through which the
water was rushing in all night. I set all
night up to my w List in water The storm
was very high, the sea hrol:tc over is and 'I

down stairs. and said we ladies putt all go
on deck, the smell was so bad below. We

not want to go up, but did so. During the

Afterwards, our fare was changed to gruel.
At first we drank our soup and gruel out of
soup plates, but at length we got quite aria

Mr. Jones made four wooden spoons--one
