PHaL.IUCL.PUIA ELECTION- Four years ago, iu die opening of the Pre sidential cauvass of 185G, Philadelphia—which had previously been Opposition—elected a Democratic Mayor (Richard Vaux) by the de cisive majority of 8,873, choosing a Democrat ic Municipality throughout. That result paved the way for the operations whereby the (Jity was carried largely for Buchanan over all op ponents in the ensuing State, and overwhelm iugly in the Presidential Election. Mr. Bu chanan's vote was thon, by gigantic and com plicated frauds, carried up to 38,225—-some 5,000 more than had ever before bean polled for any party —against 7,993 for Fremont, and 24,084 for Fillmore. Buchanan's declared majority was thus 6,145 over all opponents; while in the whole State—Philadelphia included —he had but 607 majority—not a tithe of that counted for him iu tho City. Aud now the Opposition have carried the City on a very heavy vote, electing their Mayor by 886 ma jority, with a preponderance in the Councils.— This is a very happy eugury for the pending Presidential contest. The gain to the side of Right is not limited to that above exhibited in the relative vote. — Tho Opposition in Philadelphia are no leuger discordant, jealous, repellanf, but harmonious, it' not absolutely homogeneous, and determined not to be divided and defeated in the great struggle before us. Their triumph on Tuesday will powerfully contribute to that which, we trust, awaits us io the November Election. All the city officers of the People's party were elected, the Mayor by a Majority of 886, Solicitor by 1658, Controller 132, Receiver of Taxes 1186, and Commissioner 1742. Making an average majority of over 1100 ! This is a glorious result, and insures the success of the People's Party in Pennsylvania next fall by 50,000. Lot all those who desire the salvation of the country join the people's ranks and take part in tho glorious victory which awaits us next fall. ELECTION OF CO. SUPERINTENDENT. On Monday last, the School Direetors of Bedford County, according to law, assembled in the Court House, for tho purpose 0? elect ing a Couuty Superintendent. There were 101 Directors present; only 19 absentees.— The whole number in the Couuty is 120— Southampton having no Directors and no .schools. Necessary to a choice, 51. On the first ballot, Rev. Geo. Sigafoos had 49 votes, Rov. H. lleckerman 22, Mr. Fluke 15, Rev. Mr. Gilds 11, and Mr. Durborrow 4. Second ballot, Sigafoos had 07, Heckennan 20, Fluke 5, and Gilds 3. Mr. Sigafoos was thereupon dcolared, County Superintendent for the term of three years. He will make an able aud efficient officer, having much experience in school matters. The salary was continued at SSOO. CHICAGO CONVENTION.—The Cfcioago Cons vention will convene on Wednesday, the 10th of this month, to nominate a candidate for the Presidency and the Vice Presidency. Tho candidates for nomination are Messrs. Seward, Cameron, Bates, Lincoln, Chase, Wade, Fre mont, Read and M'Lean. Who will be suc cessful is hard to toll. Let the Convention meet in a spirit of harmony, concession, and determined to do tbe best for success. If this is done, there can be no fears in regard to tbe result. The People's Party will most assured ly triumph if we get a good ticket. Our friend Wm. A. Ogle, Esq., one of tho editors of the Somerset Whig, and ex-Sheriff Swope of Somerset, paid our town a brief visit .last week. They are both clever fellows and uipalyented buggers." CHARLESTON CONVENTION. We publish in our columns to-day, several articles in relation to the Locofoco Convention at Charleston. After being in session some ten days, and having a great deal of wrang ling about a Platform and candidates for Pre sident, they had to adjourn to meet at Balti more on the 18th of June, without making a nomination. This is indeed humiliating; the once proud and haughty Democracy had to ad journ, and confess to the world its own weak ness and utter demoralization. About 40 delegates from the South, seceded from the Convention, and have adjourned to meet at Richmond, Va , on the 11th of June. Thus wo will have two Locofoco National Conventions—and probably two candidates. What will those Old Line Whigs now 4hink, who ha7e gone into the Locofoco party, and given as a reason that the Opposition were sectional ? Tbe fact is, that the Locofoco party is the most sectional in tbe Union. It was the "everlasting nigger" that broke up the Locofoco party at Charleston. The Amer ican and Republican parties are a uuit on the slavery question. They believe slavery should not be interfered with where it exists, but that it should not be extended into territory now free, Looofocoism has one principle in the North acd another in the South. Wo expect now to seo all those old Whigs that have for the past few years voted the Locofoco ticket, enter the people's ranks. The following is the vote by States in tne Democratic National Convention on the ques of substituting the minority (Douglas) report for that of tho majority of the Platform Com mittee : States.

We have been informed that Mr. William Hartley positively denies having written the dirty article signed by Mr. John A. Mowry, in tho Gazette of week before last. Persons that wo would eupposo kuew Mr. Hartley's style better than any others, gave it as their opinion that he was the author, which led us into the error. For whatever wrong wo have done Mr. Hartley in this illatter, be will consider this our apology. The author, we are now convinc ed, is none other than the brief ess and elassicnl *Beef Heels."

John Cessna, Esq., the delegate to Charles ton from this County, for the sake of buncomb t offered a resolution in the Charleston Conven tion, that iroD, coal, wool and other produots deserved protection. H< resolution was laugh' ed and sneeted at by the haughty free-traders there assembled, and Capt. Isaiah Rynders, the shoulder-hitter Locofoco leader from N. York, moved an amendment that Monongahela whis key should also be protected. Tho resolution was really laughed dowD, and Mr. Cessna was not in earnest when he offered it, beoauso he knew that it could not pass. If he woro really for a Tariff for protection, ho would leave the fcocofooo free trade party, and join the oppo sition which ia in favor of protection to the suffering interests of Pennsylvania. Mr. Anderson, the P. M. at Cumberland Val is informed that the package of papors for that office, last week, wore sent in mistake by the P.

LATEST FROjijIIMBSTON. THE USIOM DISSOLVED ! Convention Adjourned to Meet at Bal timore, on the 18th of June. NO NOMINATIONS! CHARLESTON, May 3. The Convention was called to order at 10 o'- clock. .Mr. Russell, of Va., made an explanation with regard to the Tennessee Compromise Resolution, and offered a resolution that when the Convention aojourn, to-day, it be to meet at Baltimore on the lbth of June. A motion to suspend the order for balloting was carried—yeas 199; nays 61. A delegate from Tennessee moved to strike out Baltimore and insert Philadelphia. The confusion and excitement were so great that it was difficult to hear anything that was said. Mr. Randall moved an amendment; to insert Philadelphia, and the 4th day of July. Mr. Ludlow, of New York, moved to insert New York. The motion to substitute New York was reject ed. The motion to substitute Philadelphia for Balti more was also rejected—yeas 88, nays 166. The original fesoluiion was then adopted veas 166, nays 88, as follows:—Reioired, That when Ujis Convention adjourns to-day, it will be to meet in Baltimore on Monday, the 18th day of June, in or dci to afford the States that are not now represent ed an opportunity to fill up their delegations. Stuart, ol Michigan, moved that the Conven tion adjourn. Mr. Miles, of Maryland, hoped arrangements woHld be made for printing the official account of the proceedings. Mr. Cusliiug, tbe President, before putting the motion, asked permission to address to the Conven tion a few words. Notwithstanding the deep and conflicting interests, he might say to the country that no Convention, having such immense interests at stake, has ever sat for so great a length of time with the observance of so great a share of order aud freedom from personalities or offensive language He had endeavored most impartially and honestly to fulfil the duties of the chair, and if, in the ex citement of the moment, he had been led to use any abrupt language to gentlemen, he humbly apol ogized. lie regarded this Convention as having in its destiny not only the permanence of tho Demo cratic patty, but the question whether these great Uuiced States shouid continue and endure. He would uot, however, relinquish the hope that the Union would continue on to eternity, and ho tell confident that the Convention would adjourn to day with the determination to do ail in their power to restore harmony and confidence. Mr. Brent, of Baltimore, extended a cordials invitation to tho Democracy of the Union to the hospitalities of that city. THE SECEDER'S CONVENTION. A Convention to be Held at Richmond, June 11. CHARLESTON May 3, 1860.

It was adopted, with five or six dissenting voices. A resolution, authorizing an address or narrative .cf the grounds of seceding, to be prepared and published with the proceedings of the Convention. Adjourned sine die. The Corruption Being Exposed. We find tho following item iu a Washington correspondence of the Cincinnati Enquirer , a prominent Democratic paper. Head it. Tho Senate Committee engaged in examiniug into alleged corruption growing out of the pub lic printing, met this morning and examiued Cornelius Wendell and Wm. Rice. The for mer was 9ubjeot to long examination. He stated that UNDER THE DIRECTION OF THE PRESIDENT be paid TEN THOUSAND DOLLARS TO TIIE PENNSYLVANIAN, and FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS TO THE EVENING ARGUS, of Philadelphia, out of tho profits of tho Post Office blank print ing, and that further ACTING UNDER THE SAME AUTHORITY, HE HAD GONE IN TO THE DISTRICT OF LECOMPTON DEMOCRATS IN PENNSYLVANIA IN 1858, AND HAD SPENT LARGE SUMS OF MONEY IN AN EFFORT TO SECURE THEIR ELECTION. Rioe, who was lately proprietor and editor of the Peunsylvanian, verified the statements, and it is rumored that his testimony implicated a Pennsylvania Sena* tor, as receiving a portion of the money allow ed the Pennsylvanian." A beautiful record that for a President of the United States! Read it again, and say if it is not about time tho government was taken out of the hands of these eorruptionists. The whole of Potter's district iu Wisconsin, and, iudeed of the Northwest, endorse his course iu his late affair with Ilou. R. A. Pryor. He had a rapturous reception on the occasion of bis receut visit. The Charleston Convention. Long have eager eyes been charmed by the ominous word "CHARLESTON." The 231 day of April was for many months looked forward to as the pectecost for Democratic apostlrg.— Then and there was to be exploded the hete rodoxy of Republicanism. The "irrepressible conflict" was to bo exhibited in its Diked de formity, and in contrast, too, with the sym metry, perfection, ami beauty of National (!) Democracy. The stench of sectionalism was to bo subjected to the powerful deodorizing qualities of a slave mart, and to all this at tractive show there was positively no admit tance for "de cullerd gemtnen," and the price of admission, too, was so high as to exclude the "mud sills of society." Such where the at traction iu the programme, and advertised throughout tho civilized world. But, alas! the spell is broken, the day is numbered with the past and like all others it brought but vanity and vexation of spirir. BARNUM has been com pletely out-Barnuroed, ami the itnpoitor dis covered to be a "nigger." Tho "irrepressible conflict'' was the only curiousity on exhibition. LAn evil spirit had controlling influence, and agitation, discord, and dissolution are the fruits which wem promised to be harmony and union. Seriously, the Charleston Convention has been u failure, and the disappointment it has brought to ibe Democracy is second only to the disappointment occasioned by the defeat of the party yi this city Its lessons may not be al together lost ; and if (hey teach the dangers of charging upon others their own guilt it may have been for good. Sectionalism, agitation, dissolution of tho Union, and like epithets and menaces will probably not bo charged upon Republicans in future. That the Republican is the only national party in existence cannot be denied, and with an open, fair, and csndid platform, and able, fearless candidates, it will surely triumph, and as surely wia the corifi. denoe and merit the approval of ail conierva tive citizens of the country. That slavery is an evil, no one can aeny, ami the respect and jwwer which tho Democratic party lias lost by favoring—not for principle, but tbe perquisites its extension, has been, as it ever will be, the death of every party; and no party that must appeal to tbe intelligence of American freemen can practice duplicity with impunity. Such is the lesson of the past.— Slate Journal. How the Democrats View {fie Ilesall of Our Slcceut Eiecliou. Already do we sec tho Democratic journals in the interior of the State claim for their party a triumph at our recent city election. They alledge that our majority has been materially reduced, and that our party is disappointed with the result. Will they explain by what pro cess of arithmetic theft leading party papers, such as tbe Ledger and Pennsylvanian, could show, as late as Saturday preceding the electiou, that their majority would be 1900 ? Tbe facts are simply as follows :—ln 1856 the Democratic majority in the city was 6000, over all opponents. Tbe Republicans polled less than 8000 votes,,and the Americans about 24,000. Iu ISSS tht Rcpubheaus and Ameri cans united, and elected Mr. HENUY by 4000 majority, la the late campaign Mr. IIEXKY was regarded as being a Republican, and al though nominated and supported as the candi date of the People's party he did uot receive the support of the Straight-American wing: the "Constitutional Unh-n" party united with the Democracy ; ani so confident were tie Democrats of success that they now give up tho city in despair. We commend to our Dem ocratic exchanges the following paragraph, taken fiom the Pennsylvanian the morning after the election. Will they please copy, that their readers may learn from reliable Demo cratic authority that this city "has gone over to the enemy, aud is no longer to bo relied upon V' "The result wilt be-viewed by tho country as a declaration, that Philadelphia is an Abo" lition city. This circumstance is deeply to be deplored in a social, political, and business point of view. It will completely alienate the peoplo of the South, persuading t'uetu that this city, regarded hitherto by them as the last stronghold of Northern conservatism, has gone over to the enemy, and is no longer to be relied upon, and that there was no truth or sincerity in our fair Union Speeches and loud professions of friendship and sympathy. The vote cast for Mayor Henry—the candidate of an intensely Abolitionized party—will greatly aggravate these bitter feelings of sectionalism which are fast teudiug towards a dissolution of the Union and the ruin of this country." Such is the language employed by a leading Democratic journal—the Pennsylvanian , pub lished in this city—to announce what Demo cratic journals in other places are pleased to call a Democratic victoiy ! — Stale Journal. impurity of Liquors. \\ o recently noticed the experience of Dr. lliram Cox, of Ohio, Official Inspector of Liquors at Cincinnati, in regard to the vinous and distilled liquors consumed in that region : Since then wc have met with another report, made by another western inspector of Liquor —Dr. L. G. Miilor—the inspector for Wayne county, Michigan. Ilis precinct includes the city of Detroit. Dr. Miller states that in three hundred and eighty two cases of inspec tion of whiskey, he discovered only two c ;ses ; of pure, but as they contained no ingredient, worse than extracts of plums, dried apples, peaches, sugar and houey, brown roasted sugar aud earmel, ho gave certificates of "pure." He was unable to discover any arsenic, strych nine, or Cayenne pepper, and therefore con eludes that Michigan whisky is much better than tho generality. The Doctor was not able to find a single drop of pure French brandy. It was in the main a mixture of genuine French brandy, alcohol, sugar, and French coloring— In one hundred and sixty-four samples of gin, he found but tweuty nine samples genuine , \ the balance cortaiued a mixture of the oil of juniper, alcohol, water and sugar. In thirty* two samples of Jamaica rum, he found oniy nine samples of genuine pure rum ; the rest was mixed with Santa Croix and New England rum. All articles of Irish and Scotch whisky were found pure. Also the Malaga, Madtria (?) and Sherry wines. Where he*found pure Ma* deria wines we are at a loss to iiuagiuo. The doctor remarks that "most of the French wines inspected wero found to bo pure, but he found many imitations which wore simply French vinegar." Native wines wero found good, but native brandies are extensively counterfeited. I ilk 1 ROOF. —At UiarlestoD, during; the sit ting of the Democratic Oonventiou, Mr. J„bn Cessna, a democratic delegate from Bedford county, this State, offered a resolution that iron coal, wool and other staples deserved adequate protection froiu our government. The whole Convention (except those from this State who feared death at home) sneered und husked at the idea Isaiah Rynders, chief of the "Em pire . tub, ' and prominent in the New York democracy far the last twenty years, moved as an amendment, that "adequate protection be also extended to Monongahela whiskey l "' The amendment was met with "an outburst of ap plause and laughter," and neither Mr. Cessna nor any delegate from this State, dare rise to rebuke its insolence!

Our readers may remember wo have on several occasions spoken in very eulogistic terms of a preparation whieh Dr. Seth S. Hance, of 108 Bal timore street, Baltimore, Aid., has discovered for 'lie cure of Epileptic Fits. Now, in doing so, we have been actuated by the very best motives, viz : the alleviation of human suli'ering. From circum stances which have lateiy come to our knowledge, we fear there is a certain class of persons who are not disposed to try this remedy in a common sense manner. We allude to the fact of selecting a par ticular case in a town where perhaps there are six or eight cases, and trying it on ono case. Now, perhaps the casa selected nught be the only one of the whole number that it would not Fiire. " This is neither doing themselves nor the medicine justice. If a dozen persons were stricken down with cholera in one town or neighborhood, would they all send for a physician, or would only one emplov hiin. aud wait and see if bo cured the first patient? That plan of procedure would be most absurd. So in the ease of Dr. UanceA remedy, every one who has Fits should try it for a reasonable length of time. It will not cure in a day or week; nothing worth doing can be accomplished at once. What is easily done, is as easily undone. The growth of time is enduring. From the most respectable testimony wo have examined, we feel assured that by a proper perseverance in this remedy, nine cases of Epilepsy out of ten may be cured.

Roulatt, a wtll know Meth odist clergyman, residing at Naples, draws tho fol lowing amusing but apt comparison between Dr. Al-'Laue's celebrated Vermifuge, jsep.ired by Flem ing Bros., of Pittsburg, Pa., and a ferret: * "A ferret. when placed at the entrance of a rat bole, enters the aperture, travels along the passage, seizes upon the rat, exterminates bis existence, and draws the animal's defunct carcass to the light. And in like manner have I found Dr. M'Lane's American Vermifuge to operate upon worms, those dreadful and dangerous tormentors of children This remedy, like the ferret, enters the aperture of the mouth, travels down the gullet, hunts around the stomach, lays bold of the worms, shakes the lite out of the reptiles, sweeps clean their den, and carries their carcasses clear out of the system. This at least, has been the effect of the Vermifuge upou my children." A neighbor of Mr. RouLatt, Mr. John Briggs, adopts the simile of the reverend certifier, thus both giving their most unequivocal approval of this great specific, after having witnessed its operation upon their own children. Let others try it, and be satisfied. Purchasers will be carelul to ask for Dr. M'Lan's celebrated Vermifuge, manufactured by FLEMING lilt OS., Pittsburg, Pa., Ail other Vermifuges in comparison are worthless. Dr. M'Dane's genuine Vermifuge, also his celebrated Liver Pills, can now be had at all respectable urug stores. None genu ine without the signature of May 4. " FLEMING BROS. NATURE IS THE GREAT PHYSICIAN This now admitted by the medical profession, us a fundamental principle of healing science. It is wisely provided by the human economy, that when ever anything is wrong in the physical system, the natural forces of the body are brought to bear to expel the. disease. The great aim. therefore, is to strengthen the natural powers. This has boon kept iu view by the skillful compounders of DK. J. HOS TETTER'S BITTER'S, which operate to give fresh vitality to all the organs of the body. The effect of this medicine upon the stomach, the liver and the kidneys, are pronipl and decisive. The patient who is wise enough to quit drugging, and try the BITTERS, soon feels as if he had token anew lease of life, and as he continues the use of the article, he is overjoyed to find the streams of health coursing through his frame. Let all from whoso "chick ti.o bloom lias departed, give Dr. J. iiostet iter's Celebrated Bitters a trial. Sold by druggists and dealers generally, every where. advertisement in another column.
