Eturralt I
The Shirleysburg Herald is very confident
that every man upon the Union County tick
et will be elected by five hundred—and some
by a larger majority.
The Journal is very sure that 'Wharton
will be the lowest on the three tickets, and
that Evans will be the successful candidate.
The American has the Union Ticket elect
ed by majorities not given—but possibly
ranging from three to eight hundred, more
or less.
We are content to wait until the elections
in the different districts of the county are
closed and the votes counted, before we elect
any of the candidates, but our candid opin
ion is, that every man upon the Democratic
ticket will be elected if a majority of the
voters of the county vote for them.
A DIFFERENCE.—The opposition papers in
all parts of the State are engaged in publish
ing notices complimentary to Wilmot, taken
from Democratic journals at a time when that
gentleman was acting with the Democratic
party, and contrasting them with what the
same papers say of his course at the present
time. Well, what does that prove ? Wash
ington praised Arnold when fighting for the
liberties of his country, but when he turned
traitor and joined the enemy he changed his
opinion, and denounced both the man and
his treasonable acts.
AMENDMENTS TO THE CONSTITUTION—TICE
ETS.—The Amendments to the Constitution
of our State, advertised in the Register, are
to be voted on by the people at the approach
ing election, and no provision is made for
tickets for that purpose. What is to be done?
The printers cannot afford to do so heavy a
job for nothing— and who will pay? The
Legislature should have provided. We sug
gest that the county Commissioners of the
several counties attend to the matter in behalf
of the Commonwealth, and that the next
Le g islature be petitioned to make the requir
edappropriation. If no provision be made
for tickets, there will be nothing like a full
expression of public sentiment on the
Amendments.—Hollidays&urg Register.
The Governor should direct his party press
in the State to furnish tickets for the voters
of all parties, as the fat job of publishing the
amendments has been given to them alone.—
Tickets will not be printed at this office for
or against the amendments unless they are
paid for by, the State; ouritY or individuals.
EDUCATIONAL ESTAIOLENENTS.--Milnwood
Academy, at Shade Gap, and the Shirleys
burg Female Seminary are excellent educa
tional establishments and should not be over
looked.
The Democratic Nomination for Senator
It will be seen by reference to the proceed
ings of the Democratic Senatorial Confer
ence, held at Bedford on the 31st ult., pub
lished in our paper of to day, that WlLLfam
P. &nem, Esq., of Bedford county; has re
etived the nomination of that body for Sen
ator. We feel strong in the belief, that no
better selection could have been made. Mr.
Schell is a first rate man, possessed of fine
talents, a fluent and logical debater, and de
cidedly popular with the people. In his
case, strange as it may seem in these degen
erate times, the office is seeking the man, as
he had no ambition or desire for official hon
ors or emoluments. Unlike his office seeking
opponent, General Koontz, he made no effort
to obtain a nomination, and was unaware of
it until it was publicly announced. It was a
free will offering of his democratic fellow cit
izens, and we have assurances that he will
accept the nomination so spontaneously ten
dered, and devote himself thoroughly to the
work before him. We are told that the an
nouncement of his nomination at the Demo
cratic meeting in Bedford on the same even
ing, was received with thunders of applause
and every demonstration of joy. He is a
favorite son of the people of that county and
they will roll up for him a, heavy majority in
October. The Opposition will find in the
democratic nominee a man not easily defeated
and one much the superior in every respect
of their own candidate.—Somerset Demo
crat.
Hon. Wm. P. SCHELL, of Bedford, has
received the Democratic nomination for Sen
ator in the District composed of the counties
of Somerset, Bedford and Huntingdon. The
people of those counties will consult their
best interests by electing Mr. Schell. He is
one of "nature's noblemen," and would make
a Senator of 'whom all would be proud. As
he is one of the most popular and energetic
men in the State, we hope to see him elected.
If he cannot succeed in the District, it is
useless for any one else to try. Mr. Schell
received the UW12,1'1110218 vote of the confer
ence.—.Fultort Democrat.
David Caldwell, Esq.,
We are pleased to see, has been nominated
by the Democracy of Huntingdon county,
for Prothonotary. In addition to being en
dowed with every capacity to perform the
duties of the office, Mr. Caldwell is a sound
radical Democrat. He resided in Washing
ton township, in this county, from 1854 until
1857, and
,during that period, he distin-.
guished hiinself by his devotion to Demo
cratic principles and men, and by his unceas
ing opposition to every form of Know Noth
ingism and Black Republicanism. As a
member of the Buchanan Club of. Washing
ton township he rendered valuable services
during the glorious oampaigtx of 185 G. The
Democracy of Cambria will rejoice to hear
of his election.—Ebensburg Dem. & Sentinel.
Although a voter in another county for
two years, Old Huntingdon was always the
home of Mr, Caldwell, and the endorsement
of his political character by the Democrat &
Sentinel, should be sufficient to secure for
him the united vote of the Democracy of
this county.
JAMES MURPHY.--This gentleman is the
Democratic candidate for Director of the
Poor. Ile has had experience as Steward of
the Poor House, and all parties agree that
he was just the man for that position. If
the citizens of the county will consult their
-interests they will elect Mr. Murphy a Direc
tor.
FARMERS' HIGH SCHOOL.—The annual elec
tion for three Trustees of the Farmers' High
School cf this State, was held at the farm in
Centre county, on Wednesday last. The fol
lowing persons were duly elected: Frederick
Watts, of Cumberland ; Hon. Jas. Miles, of
Erie, and Joshua P. Eyre, of Delaware.—
Proceedings next week.
ley.An exchange justly remarks that those
who fail to read the advertisements in a
newspaper, often lose much more than they
imagine. Advertisements are printed to be
read just as much as any other item of news,
and it is just as essential to read them.—
There is not an advertisement printed that is
not of importance to some one. Nothing
speaks more clearly of a man's prosperity in
business, than the manner in which he ad
vertises.
More Acquisitions
The Huntingdon Journal boldly asserts
that Messrs. A. W. Bnynnicr and S. S.
WICARTON are Locofocos, that is, Democrats.
The Journal is not, at all times, a reliable
paper, and we are not prepared to confirm its
statement ; but should this be true, we pro
test against the course of those two gentle
men in opposing the regularly nominated
candidates of the party, with whom the old
Democracy throughout the county, as well as
many of the opposition, are perfectly satis
fied. We hope they will no longer encour
age a spirit of disorganization in the party
of their late adoption, but come out openly
and boldly for the Democratic nominees.—
Indeed, we should be glad to announce that
the former would, at an early day, address
the democratic and other citizens of the
county in advocacy of Democratic principles,
and that the latter had declined in favor of
Dr. IlouTz, the regularly nominated Demo
cratic candidate for the Legislature. Come,
now, gentlemen, make a clean breast of the
matter.
CIIARLES D. MURRAY, Esq., of Ebens
burg, has become an associate editor of the
Ebensburg Democrat & Sentiitcl. Charley is
an enthusiastic writer, and a very clever fel
low. We wish him success—prodigiously.
ViTilmo = a Stump Speaker.
The Hollid Sa. rg Standard gives a graphic
description o a Republican meeting held
there, and declares it to have been "the most
decided fizzle ever held in that place." Of
WILMOT'S speech it says :
David mounted the rostrum with becoming
dignity and for two mortal hours hammered
away at his favorite hobby, the- wool ques
tion. With the exception of a few words at
the opening, and a brief allusion to Ameri
canism at the close of his harangue, all his
cry was, "Wool I—Wool l—Wool!" His re
marks were a rehash of his speeches at other
places, interlarded with some of the N. Y.
Tribune's " bleeding Kansas" roorbacks, and
were received by his audience with an omi
nous silence that must have been anything
but gratifying to the feelings and hopes of
himself and friends. The meeting adjourned
as silently as it assembled, and the illustri
ous champion of freedom' wended his way
to Altoona. as cheerless as he came.
Wilmot disappoints everybody wherever he
goes. His party puffed him up to the dimen
sions of a great man, which he is not, and
consequently he must everywhere disappoint
the people. The Pittsburg Post thus refers
to one of his speeches in that city i
"He may be a very smart man, but he cer
tainly is not much of a popular speaker.—
Last night, at Lafayette Hall, he occupied
about two hours with a tame and unimpres
sive recapitulation of precisely the same ideas
upon slavery, Kansas, &c., which we have
heard and read a hundred times before. He
advanced nothing new or striking. He, is a
plain speaker, without animation and with
no pretensions to eloquence. Had we not
known it was David Wilmot, we might read
ily have mistaken the speaker for a 'Wesleyan
Methodist preacher delivering an anti-slavery
sermon. The audience were evidently disap
pointed."
A SPECK OF WAR.—The great Brigham of
Utah seems to accept the interference of the
administration in the affairs of the Latter
Day Saints in somewhat bad temper. lie
talks in his usual strain of "sending our en
emies to hell across lots," and his trumpeters
and press, with less discretion but no less
venom, notify the country that, if the gov
ernment persists in sending such officials as
have heretofore been appointed, "they will
really need a larger body guard than 25,000
soldiers." Brigham also insists that the time
will come when the Latter Days Saints must
erect themselves into a " free and indepen
dent kingdom," and that he would regard
the sending of an armed force to Utah by
the government, as an evidence that "it is
time for the thread to be cut," or in other
words, for revolution and rebellion against
the United States.
Our Judicial Candidates
We commend the following notice of Hon.
WlnmAm STRONG, which we copy from the
Berks and Schuyl•lcill Journal, the Black Re
publican organ of Berks County, to the at
tention of our readers, as showing in what
estimation our candidate for Judge of the
Supreme Court is held at home, even by his
political opponents. The Journal says:—
" The nomination of Mr. STRONG will elicit
a large vote in his favor, not only from his
own party, but from those who stand in the
position of political opponents, and this will
be the case not alone in Berks, but where
ever he is known. Mr. S. is a graduate of
Yale College, which he left with the highest
honor. His legal career commenced in this
county where his talents soon placed him at
the head of the bar. He represented this
county in Congress two terms, and declined
a re-election. To legal abilities of the high
est order, he adds great industry and power
of application to business, and the unim
peachable integrity of his character, his sym
pathy with all business enterprises that have
added to the prosperity of this city, and his
private virtues, have secured him universal
respect and the affectionate regards of this
community. In saying this we do but jus
tice to a political opponent."
The Warren Ledger thus alludes to Hon.
JAMES TuoMrsoN, the colleague of Mr. STRONG
on the Democratic State ticket:—" The peo
ple of this county are well actwainted with
Judge T., he having formerly filled the office
of President Judge in this district; since
which he has represented this Congressional
district in Congress for three successive
terms—a rare occurrence in the Northern
States. Having occupied public positions, at
brief intervals, for a period of twenty years
and upwards, his name has become as famil
iar as household words in this section of the
State. Judge TIIOMPSON has never yet been
defeated before the people, and his most san
guine opponents do not anticipate a different
result in the present contest. His name is a
tower of strength in Northwestern Pennsyl
vania, particularly in his own county, in this
section of the State, we may safely predict
that he will run many thousands ahead of
his ticket.
Patriotism.
Can that man be patriotic who endeavors
to prejudice one portion of the Union against
another? Wrong acts are always fair subjects
for animadversion, but this is a very differ
ent thing from exciting sectional and per
sonal prejudices against a portion of our
own people.
Did any man ever hear a Republican speech
made, in which the whole people of the South
were not denounced in terms that should be
applied only to an enemy? 'Aristocrats,"na
bobs,"nigger drivers,' with other and viler
epithets are constantly applied to them by
the Abolition speakers. If these men by such
means succeed in inducing the same hatred
of the South in the breasts of all our people
that they themselves feel, can the Union sur
vive it? Or what would the Union be worth
with the two sections hating each other with
fierce malevolence? But under such circum
stances it would not stand, any more than two
brothers could live together under the same
roof who hated and constantly denounced
each other as vile scoundrels.
Washington, in his farewell address, ex
pressly cautious the people against 'designing
men,' (to use his own language,) who would
'endeavor to excite a belief that there is a
real difference of local interests.'
The Republican speakers who denounce
the South with so much violence, thereby op
pose every sentiment of patriotism and of the
farewell address of Washington. If any doubt
let them read that address and compare it
with the Republican speeches.—Clint. .Dent.
Stumping the State !
The opposition presses - appear to be won
derfully exercised, because General Packer,
yielding. to the expressed views of the Demo
cratic State Committee, declined to accom
pany Mr. Wilmot through the Commonwealth,
and discuss with him questions which have
already gone through the full process of ar
gument, and have nothing at all to - do with
the subject-matter of the next gubernatorial
election.
Now, although we know—and all who have
any knowledge of the respective parties,
know—that Gen. Packer is, in every respect,
a more pleasing, logical, eloquent and con
vincing public speaker than Judge Wilmot,
and although we are fully aware of the fact
that, independently of all other qualifications,
having the right of the argument would in
evitably lead the democratic disputant to vic
tory over his opponent, still we are glad that
" stump-speaking," as it is termed, has not
been adopted as a part of the democratic sys
tem. We may, in future times, have guber
natorial candidates who, although not gifted
as Gen. Packer is with the power of eloquent
oratory, may possess every requisite qualifi
cation to adorn the executive chair, and there
is no good reason whatever, why men of such
a stamp should be laid aside, to make room
for others whose main recommendation would
be that they could talk glibly, and please a
listening crowd by the humor or the interest
ing general character of their remarks. had.
such a rule prevailed in days gone by, the
State might have been deprived of such men
as Snyder, Findlay, Shultz, Wolf and Shunk.
Our opponents, too, would have suffered in
like manner, for most of the few Governors
whom they have ever succeeded in electing
in this State, did not and could not lay claim
to the slightest oratorical distinction.
We think, and ever have thought, that the
efforts of public speakers have always had an
undue rate of importance attached to them,
when compared with those who give their
ideas to the public by means of the pen. In
many parts of our country, it has been and
may be truly said, that a man who can
" make a speech" although the Queen's En
glish may be slashed without mercy, and his
tory be falsified through ignorance, is, never
theless, regarded as a man of ability by the
crowd. On the other hand, a well-educated
man, who possesses even the finest order of
talents, who appears before the public as a
mere writer, is comparatively little apprecia
ted—the masses seeming to think, like Dog
berry, that "reading and writing come by
nature," and hence are to be regarded as of
little worth.
An author whose name we cannot just,now
call to mind, truthfully remarks, that a man
may write oneof the best essays or articles
that ever emanated from the human mind,
and lay it before the public, and but few will
regard it as anything remarkable ; but let
the same thing be printed as the verbatim, re
port of a public speech, and every man who
is able to read will pronounce it excellent.
In the political world it but too frequently
occurs that no man is regarded as " great"
who cannot " make a speech"-and an igno
rant man, of ordinary capacity, who possesses
the " gift of gab," and a store of anecdotes,
would stand a better chance, in some sections
of the country, of getting to Congress, than
a Washington, a Jefferson or a Franklin.—
The people do not seem to be aware that the
most useful and effective public servants usu
allydo the least talking, and, not unfrequently,
have the least capacity as public speakers.—
Jefferson never made a speech of any consid
erable length, and we believe that Franklin
never did but once, and then his speech was
brief, and not delivered with any flourish of
oratory. Washington himself was utterly
unable to make what is termed " a speech"—
at least, extemporaneously. In our own day,
the most excellent members of our National
and State legislatures are not to be found
among those most conspicuous as talkers—on
the contrary, it may be regarded as an almost
general rule, that too many of the men whose
names occur most frequently in the published
proceedings of such bodies, ought properly
to be regarded as among the least useful and
efficient members thereof.
The undue appreciation of "talking talent"
to which we have alluded, has an evil effect.
It prompts many public servants to do a vast
amount of unnecessary talking, that they
may be " heard at home," to the neglect of
the actual business of their office, and the
useless prolongation of sessions to the ex
travagant waste of the public money. Be
sides, it prompts the ambitious to cultivate
the " talking faculty," to the neglect of the
more important requisites for real efficiency
and usefulness. It would be better for the
country, if the people - would learn to think
more of writing than of mere talking men—
at least, the quiet, deep thinkers, and the
practical men of the land should be more
generally and properly appreciated. Then
our gubernatorial canvasses would never be
looked upon as mere gladiatorial contests,
and our sessions of Congress and of the State
legislature would be shorter and of more ac
tual value to the public.
Wo have been led into a digression, but to
return to where we began, we repeat the ex
pression of our gratification, that the Demo
cratic State Committee advised General Pack
er against the acceptance of Mr. Wilmot's in
vitation to " stump the State." The question
of slavery—Mr. Wilmot's peculiar hobby—
has been discussed thoroughly, and in all its
bearings within the past year. Its
_merits
have nothing to do, either one way or the
other, with the fulfilment of the requirements
of the gubernatorial station. The democracy
of Pennsylvania are competent and willing,
on all proper occasions, to give their decision
on national questions of practical importance;
—but when they are to choose a Governor,
they do not pretend to elect hiin for the pur
pose of regulating the affairs of the nation,
but to carry out what they regard as just and
correct views of State policy. If they believe
the candidate selected for their support pos
sesses these essential qualities, they will give
him their cordial support, and leave Judge
Wilmot, like another Don Quixotte, to fight
as many " windmills" as he may please to
magine to be men in armor.—Norristown

Indian Difficulties in Minnesota.
Caowilrixo, M. T., Sunday, Aug. 23, 1857.
The past week has been one of unusual
excitement to the people of this portion of
the Territory, in consequence of the hanging
by the people of three Indians for the mur
der of a Dutchman on the road some fifteen
miles above here. Two squaws, knowing of
the sad affair, hastened to inform the nearest
whites. Pursuit was at once made to capture
them, which was soon effected, and they were
then handed over to the sheriff to be taken
to St. Paul or Fort Snelling. Before such a
step could be accomplished, the whites took
the prisoners in charge and. conveyed them
to Little Falls. The facts being made known
it was decided to hang the three at once.--
Evening was the time appointed for carrying
into effect the intent of their hasty determi
nation. A point on the roadside was selected,
a pole was extended from two trees, a farm
wagon was driven under it, and on . the end
stood the three doomed men, who acknowled
ged their guilt. The nooses were made fast
to the pole and passed around their necks,
the - word was given to the driver and off he
drove, all three falling a distance of 18 inch
es.
