Chairman of Democratic County annmittee.
AG- BEAD THE NEW ADVERTISEMENTS.
The Democratic County Convention.
In two w'oeks from to-day, the Democracy
of the county are expected
,to meet in Con
vention in this place,- for the purpose of
placing in nomination a county ticket, to be
supported, and elected, too, if possible, at
the nest general election ; and it is impor
tant that each district in the county send as
delegates to the Convention, men who will
act for the geodnf the whole party. We do
not wish to see in that Convention any wrang
ling over the Democracy of the, National or
State Administration—or any endorsement of
either—or reading in or out of the party any
Democrat who honestly differs with Buchan
an or Packer in the discharge of their politi
cal duties. If the Democracy of the county
wish to be united in the support of a county
ticket with a view to success, they must
come into the Convention determined to act
independent of all foreign influences. The*
Democracy of the county want no 'other
" platform" than a good Democratic ticket—
and such the party can have if the delegates
will 'come 'together with a determination to dO
nothing more, nor nothing less, than placing
in nomination for the several offices, honest
and capable men, who are recognized as mem
bers of the Democratic party.
Important Intelligence from Europe--The
Treaty. of, Peace.
By the arrival of the North Briton, four
days later news •has been received from Eu
rope, and the intelligence is of a very impor
tant character. The:war.in Italy has closed
as suddenly as it commenced, and a treaty of
peabc has been concludedbetween Napoleon
and the Eniperor of .Ans,lria..• Its charaCter
will- excite 'universal surprise. Austria has
surrendered LOrabardy to'France, and France
in turfilliStransferied it to 'Piedmont, Ve
nice is, to remain iiithe_posiession of Austria,
but is,:,notwithstanding,- to be regarded as a
sort of an independent kingdom, to form, with
all the other Italian States, an Italian Con
federacy, of which the Pope is to be Honora
ry President. The Gordian knot of Italian
politicS has' been cut in an entirely 'unexpec
ted manner, and•' the difficulties in `the path
of Napoleon have been solved in a fashion
peculiarly his own. To what extent the new
arrangement will prove satisfactory, benefi
cial, or durable; the future alone, can deter
mine.
Eonest Man Retiring from the Field
[From the West Chester Democrat.]
When a good and true 'man retires from the
field of political journalism, it ought to be
not.only a matter of regret to the community
in which his influence was exerted, but that
regret should , extend beyond so limited a
sphere. -In this day of politiCal harlotry,
when prominent men are striving to debauch
a venerable party, and infect its loins with
loa_ thsome diseases, the loss of one such man
Li a public calamity. • And yet wecan scarce
ly wonder that honorable men lay. down
their weapons of defense; and retire huMili
nted and disgusted 'from the field of ' strife.—
There is absolutely nothing to 'keep hire. at
his post. He is called upon:to .be a servile
echo of dogmas that are in direct antagonism
with all previous political professions:. The
most sacred precepts that helms . set forth for
long years, aresuddenly execrated by those
he has assisted in -elevating to place, and
threatening maledictions are pOured upon
him 'if, he has the manliness to refuse to ad-
Vocate and defend the new , and. revolting here
sies. The mace of -power, • wielded by one
mad with - the consciousness that he' has be
trayed his : trust, and "too vindictive to ac
knowledge the fact, is shaken in menace over
his head, and ho must either go into a hand
to hand fight with old and cherished friends,
or leave the field in humility and disgust.—
It is. a, terrible- alternative, and .we are .not
disposed to find fault with• those who chose,
relUctantly; one or the other horn of the di
lemma.
There are those occupying the editorial po
sition; in. the Democratic party, of such easy
virtue, and so utterly bankrupt in all moral
perceptions, as' to willingly swear that black
is white, but for the honor of. the profession,
they are not numerous. Many cling tena
ciously to the skeleton of organization, seeing
no resting place for the sole of their foot be
yond it. They cannot go into the interests
of the opposition, for there they see fearful
antagonisms Which never can be surmounted.
Neither have they the nerve to bear up
against the taunt of rebellion, and they there
fore consent to endure the humiliation, trust
ing that the day is not far distant when the
party and its interests will be confided to the
care• and interests of those who have ever
drank from the perennial fountains of demo
cratic truth and purity. - •
We have been led into this course of re_
mark by the fact that - our friend Hannuin of
the Allentown Democrat, has left his ,post of
honor and of profit, rather than longer stul
tify himself by giving aid and comfort to those
,who are disgracing and decimating the party
of his affections and his. choice. He was
amongst the first of our editorial acquain
tances—an honest and an upright man. His
paper has always been by us with pleas
ure. It ever advocated democracy as we
have learned' itiin the school of our political
fathers. Sometimes, to be sure, under the
pressure of political tyranny he has given
way to the force of circumstances by which
he was surrounded, but truth would ever
beam out in some point of his able writings.
We know of no man we so much regret to
lose from our arduous field of labor,. and in
hia retirement he has our sincerest wishes for
ii better fate than that 'which is awarded,. io
this day, to an honest and fearless advocate
of democratic' principles. An extract from
his own eloquent valedictory will better con
vey to our readers the causes which have led
him to abandon his position, than anything
we have - said, or can say, on so important a
subject. Letit be read by every thoughtful
man in the Democratic party, and when he
reads it, he cannot fall 'to conclude •that some
great wrong has been perpetrated, to drive an
old and faithful servant from a position where
he has long labored for the success of Demo
cratic doctrines. He says:—
" We have ever felt an ardent attachment
to, and desire for ; the success of Democratic
principles in their purity. In furthering this
object it has always been a pleasure to us to
sustain to the extent of our humble abilities,
those in whose keeping the people had in a
measure confided their . principles. '• But when
we Witnessed an attempt to Federalize the
party, by engrafting upon it a policy: at war
with all its previous teachings—when we
found men in power willing to repudiate and
fritter away the_just_principles embodied in
the- Cincinnati platform, and to commit our
glorious old party to the very dogmas which
the people had condenined—when we found
these venal parasites of power ready to sever
an organization, which had been the work of
ages, intacontending factions by attacking an
honest; upright State Executive, whose con
scientious dictates would not allow him to
_ "Bend the pliant hinges of - the knee," -
before the sacrificial altar '• and when all this
and more was done by those who usurped
the name of Democracy--:-producing every
where the most riiinoiis consequences ; dis
heartening and defeating the party in the
North - and West—distracting and weakening
it in the South, and' covering it with defeat
and disgrace in every' portion . of the Union—
when we saViDeknocrats Whom we knew had
groWn gray in' the Cause, both here and. else
where=men who had fought its' battles 'and
stood by its prinCiples in the darkest, gloomi
est hOurilythrust aside by . those whose lives
had been. spent in the 'ranks - of 'the Opposi
tion, and who, coming to ns Only for gain,
were recogniied as leaders—we confess that
every impulse, prompted by a life-long , devo
tion to the party, caused us shrink from
aiding in the demoralizing work, and at ,the
same time constrained us to resign the edito
rial tripod to any 'one willing to submit to the
sacrifice."
The War's New Aspect
The intelligence from Europe is most im
portant. ,Napoleon has followed up the Bat
tle ,of Solferino, and, other, victories in Italy,
in a manner wholly unexpected. Yet those
who are familiar with hia uncle's policy might
almost have anticipated what has happened.
That policy, which spared Austria repeatedly,
was to endeavor to make peace immediately af
ter he had achieved some considerable victory.
'On July 7, a fortnight after the victory at
Solferino, the Emperor' Napoleon offered an
armistice to the Emperor of Austria. The
offer has been accepted ; the terms had not
been arranged, but there will be a cessation
of hostilities until the 15th of August, which
happens to be what the Romans call white
day''. in French history, as the nineteenth
anniversary of the great Napoleon's birth.—
During this temporary peace, both armies
will be strengthened, no doubt, to prepare for
the chances of renewed hostilities. Perhaps
the Imperial leaders themselves may meet
and endeavor to adjust the differences between
them. The Moniteur, authoritatiiely expres
sing the Imperial will, gravel icautions France
against ;thinking that the armistice must ne
cessarily mean peace..' It leaves the field open
for negotiation. When Napoleon quitted
Paris, he expressed the intention of making
Italy free from the Appenines to the Adriat
ic.' Is be likely to 'be content with less than
this?
Napoleon, as the conquering power,.could
gracefully suggest the armistice,' which the
Emperor of Austria, baffled beaten;and hum
bled, as he is, could not ask for. Austria en
tered, upon the War at a time chosen• by- her
self, invaded' Tiedment suddenly, and, with
a great superiority in numbers, has• been beat
en in every encbunter = beaten at Montebello,
at Palestro, at Magenta, at Marignana, and
at . Solferino. Ills forces, however numerical
ly superior, have failed in the face.of Europe.
The armistice occurs, it has - been said, on'the
expected news of another battle : " The cel
ebrated fortified quadrangle had been reach
ed, Pesehiera had been invested, Mantua had
been masked, Verona was upon the point of
being summoned, Venice was threatened, and
Garabaldi was Manoeuvring upon the re ref
the 'great fortresses:" At this crisis, when
some 500,000 human beings
,were about de
stroying each other, by fire and sword, Na
poleon, actuated by humanity or policy, or
by both, intervenes with a proposal which
suspends the warfare and gives a breathing
space for negotiation. The leading English
journals look upon peace as almost certain.
France will profit by the delay, as well as
Austria—if the worst should .happen. ' The
belligerents upon , both sides -have suffered
fearfully—only Austria came off second best.
The negotiations may terminate unsatisfacto
rily, and then, once more, the fighting sover
eigns will
"Cry havoc, and let slip the dogs of war."
Virtually, Austria has lost her Italian do
minions. Nothing but pride can make her
persevere in the hapeless effort to recover and
retain them. Venice still remains under Aus
trian rule, but with a French fleet in the. Ad
riatic and a French army in the celebrated
quadrangle of fortresses, how much longer
will the Austrian flag continue to wave from
the summit of the Campanile of St. Mark,
from the square tower of the Dogana, in the
island of San Giorgio Maggiore ?
Not Only France, but free men in Eu
rope, and the vast population.of the United
States, will be disappointed if Napoleon, on
the coming settling of accounts, let Austria
off for less than the whole of her Italian pos
sessions. It will be a bitter draught for •Aus
tria to swallow. But the medicament 1762L.5i
be taken, if put to her lips ; and we believe
that Napoleon is a practitioner who will take
the trouble of standing by and insisting on
the patient's drainingit to the dregs: -
Suppose that Austria is compelled to--sub
mit to the dismemberment Of the Empire—
that it relinquish Lombardy and Venice—
how will the Hungarian question stand?-In
another column we give an article from the
London Times, detailing the terms and con
ditions of Napoleon's compact with Kossuth,
for re-nationalizing Hungary, and stating the
amount of money promised, aye,, and actually
paid for this purpose. Here a new compli
city-is threatened; for how can France nom
inally make peace with Austria, and at the
same time aid Hungary, still her vassal, in
an'attempt to become independent ? In this
difficulty it is clear that France must break
faith somewhere : either with Austria, with
whom she may have formed a new alliance,
or with Kossuth, with whom a compact of
support has apparently been made.
We' are not given to ' vaticination, but we
might almost venture to prophecy that if
Austria has to surrender Italy, a Kingdom
will be made for Frince Napoleon, who has
to be provided for, as cousin to the Emperor
and son-in-law to the.. King of Sardinia.—
The Press.
Sad Casualty
We have this week to record the death of
one of our neighbors, resulting from descen-
ding into a well containing impure air. Dan
iel Hall, a . colored man, residing a few rods
east of this village, was employed by Cyrus
Alexander, residing near Greenwood, in 'Mif
flin county—about 18 miles north-east of Mill
Crebk—to remove the dirt,. &e., from his well,
which is about 30 feet deep ; and about 9
o'clock on Monday morning last, he under
took the work. The accounts of the precise
manner of his death are somewhat conflicting,
but we_believe "the following to be the most
reliable The water having been nearly all
drawn out of the well, burning straw was
thrown in to drive out the, impure air. A
candle was then lowered to test the safety of
a descent ; ,which was" soon extinguiiiked: by
the foul air. This should-have been sufseient
to, deter any one from descending li,ul the
operation being repeated, strange to say: the
candle burned quite *ell. Hall now :deter
mined-to descend, and refused to- heed - the
suggestion of the bystanders to have a rope
placed about his body, that he might be
drawn Up in case of necessity„ (That this
precaution would have saved his lite is, 'how
ever, extremely doubtfuL) Accordingly, a
ladder . Wits' place in the well, and he descen
ded, it is supposed, nearly to the bettem.—
He called twice to those above to draw
,up
the. bucket, which was done, but contained
nothing., • He was.,then heard to' fall to the
bottom of the well. Those outside then hal-
Iced to • him, but received no answer, when
the terrible fact of his - stiffocation' became
apparent to them. A patent hay-fork or hOok
was immediately procured, and in about fif
teen minutes liis'lifeless body was taken from
the well;
'His remains were .brought to this place on
Tuesday afternoon, and interred in the vil
lage graveyard. He was about 41 years of
age, and leaves a wife and five small children.
lle Was esteemed as a moral and upright man,
and was a member of the Baptist Church
here.
We deem it but just to say that Mr. Alex
ander—perhaps assisted by his neighbors—
procured a good coffin, at their own expense,
in which the remains- were forwarded to this
place. The deceased had gone there to hat
yest.—Shirleysburg Herald, July 20.
CHESTER COUNTY—.2I/24rder.--:A. few days
- ago a most brutal, murder was committed in
Chester county, near the . White Horse Hotel,
the victim of which was a, Mr. Reed, a well
known and respected citizen, who had made
his home at the White Horse for many' years.
An Irishman, 'whose name our informant can
not'recall, having, as is supposed, been drink
ing,,conimenced abusing Mr. Reed, who paid
no
,attention to' him, until the Irishman at
tempted to inflict bIOWS *along with his abuse.
Mr. Reed, being a strong man, then caught
the Irishman, threw him down and held him
there until he promised to behave hirifself.—
Subseciuently„ however, the Irishaian follow
ed Mr. Reed' up the road some distance, threw
a stone whiCh struck his victim on' the head'
knocking him down senseless, and it is sup
posed, killed him on the, spot: - Not content
with this„ however, the irifimateddemon stab
bed hint - in several places and then jumped
upon the body,.disfiguring the .face in a shock
ing' manner. .
The most, singular feature of this brutal af
fair is that the transaction was witnessed by
several wOrkmen in an adjoining field; and a
negro who was close by, but they were afraid
to interfere lest the Irishman should, turn
upon them I He ran away some distance
when courage, was finally mustered to over
take and arrest him, when he was lodged;, in
prison.,
' The news of this brutal murder of a respec
ted citizen Soon spread, causing intense ex
citement, and had this Irish Man been , acces
sible to certain groups who were soon collec
ted at different points, discussing the affair,
there is a possibility that the Court might
have been saved the trouble of .trying him for
murder.
PREMIUMS ON IV,IIEAT.—The Chicago board
of trade have resolved that they will pay, at
the Fair of the United States . Agricultural
Sodiety, to be held. in that city next Septem
ber, $2 per bushel for the best 100 bushels of
spring wheat; $2 25 per bushel for the best
100 bushels 'of red winter wheat, and $2 50
per bushel for the best 100 bushels of white
winter wheat. The object of the board in
purchasing the wheat is to distribute it for
seed during the ensuing fall and next spring.
Buchanan in the Field.
Evidently, Mr. Buchanan desires to Carry
the Pennsylvania delegation to'the Charleston
Convention. Only a short time since it was
announced in his Washington organ, and re
published in a hundred other quarters,., that
he would not be a candidate for ire-nomina7.
tion. The announcement was jnade on his
own authority—and yet the occasion of his
annual visit to Bedford Springs has been
seized on to announce him as a " necessity"
to the party, "the man of destiny" graciously
pointed out to us for re-election, in order to
correct, we suppose, the mischief he has done.
It is the greatest absurdity of the season
that we have read of—and yet we suppose
the farce will be enacted, as his friends have
the organization in their hands, and the old
man will be gratified by a compliment as
empty as it• is undeserVed. It is a pity that
age should be so abused by evil advisers, and
that any portion of the people, even his own
office-holders, should lend their assistance to
gratify the vanity, or minister to the morbid
ambition of one who has earned, during his
short term of service, nothing but the' re
proach of his country. To us, the scheme
itself is nothing; but it' is' to be regretted
that those who have the President's ear should
not have persuaded_ him to make his action
square with his Word in at least a single in
stance, and 'thus save the.country from. the
mortification of witnessing in her Chief
Magistrate such perpetual arid disgraceful
vacillation. •
We have no doubt that every federal office
holder who can be spared ,from duty, will be
put into active service at once to pave the
way for the accomplishment of this grand
project. Indeed, we learn that many of them
are already at work laying the ropes for the
selection of delegates who will act as puppets
in their bands: The encroachments Of Fed
eral power on the political rights of the, peo
ple of the States' are becoming every day
More extensive and dangerous ; and if the
citizens desire. at all to nominate and elect
their own officers, it is high time that the
impudent interference of Federal office
holdersin their affairs should be sternly re
buked.
Since Mr. Buehanan's accession to power,
every State Convention in this State has•been
controlled by his paid emissaries, and the evil
is rapidly spreading through the country, so
that it is now searcely"possible -to carry a
ward election against the Imperial will ex
pressed through those who eat the bread of
government. •
We have warned the people before to be
ware of the improper interference of govern
tnent officials in their political affairs, and we
noW repeat that a little longer indulgence . of
them will set a precedent which will be
fraught with great danger. The very at
temptdelegates to send deleate to Charleston through
theinfluence of federal office-holders and
federal money, will add so deeply to the great
injury already inflicted on the party by Mr.
Buchanan, that its resurrection during hi's
life-time will hardly be a possibility. Let
Democrats look seriously at the matter, and
act promptly and efficiently on the ideas we
have suggested.—Rarrisburg Slate Sentinel.
Me Crop Prospects
A letter from Oarhondale, Pa., July 10,
says that the farmers are cutting their hay
- crop:to save it from the army worm, which
has begun its devastations. The crop is a
light one.
- The writer of a letter from Illinois, dated
July 1 . 1. th, says that he has just been through
the counties of Henry, Berrien and Putnam,
and finds 'the wheat - turning yellow, and the
farmers in good spirits at their prospect of
harvest. The new ground crop will be a full
one, and that upon old ground, say two-thirds.
The same letter says : "The corn is com
ing on finely, and is now nearly, three feet
high. The severe frost 'in the 'early part of
June cut the corn down in this vicinity'close
to the „round ; but; the weather being favor
able,
_most of itstarted up immediately, while
a few pieces had to be replanted. It is grow
ing rapidly now, and the prospect is, that we
shall have plenty.. Oats, barley, potatoes and
culinary vegetables are doing well. Fruit
will be scarce."
The Indiana Journal, in speaking of the
favorable reports that come in, says: !•Wheat,
though very often thin on the-ground, turns
out such heavy, heads and remarkably full
grains, than an - average crop in quantity and
more than'that in quality will be harvested
in_ this State. The - .testimony on this point
'is so uniform, with but one exception Or two
among nearly a hundred reports that we have
received, that it would be unreasonable to
doubt it."'
This is all very pleasant information, but
it is made still more so by the wordi' annex
ed : "Corn is reported to be looking well
still, though it is beginning to want rain. In
many localities it is small, but the color is
good, and a fair Season will bring it out right.
A larger breadth of ground has been plan
ted than ever before in the State. Grass is
turning out better than was expected some
time ago. We should think it-would be a
fair crop, though not remarkable. Potatoes
are undeniably good, and we can hardly fail
- to have an abundance of all kinds, at fair
prices. In fact,' our staples all either prom
ise well or have done well, and we may rea
sonably look for better times next year:"
Advices from Wisconsin, for some time
past, have not represented the wheat crop in
a very proinising condition, but a letter now
before us from Columbia county, Wis., July
B,.says : "The wheat crop here has never been
more promising and will yield largely, un
less some accident befalls it. Neither the
frost nor the chinch bug have affected it vet,"
Some accounts from Mississippi say "the
crops were never more promising,' while
others say that the rains have been so heavy
'as greatly to injure the corn and cotton. The
breadth of land sown in that State is not a
large one this year, but it is unusually good
in yield and quality.
BEAUTIFUL FINANCIERING.-It is stated in
the New York papers that a railroad, lead
ing from Hollidaysburg, Pd., to the Sunbury
- and Erie _road, has lately suffered 'a loss of
$lBO,OOO - in its bonds,' by falling into bad
hands. in New York city. The Tribune says
the parties interested in this road and in the
Hollidaysburg Bank are the same, and the
Central Bank became embarrassed by the
extension of its aid to the road. In order to
relieve it, the officers of the road went to
New York to endeavor to negotiate'some 'of
its bonds. They fell into the hands of men
much shrewder than themselves, and parted
with $lBO,OOO of the bonds for $200,000 of
the notes of the Southern Bank of Georgia,
a concern which has had a black mark against
it for some time,n the respectable Bank. Note
Reporters. After discovering that the notes
were worthless, the road officers endeavored
to regain their bonds, but have not yet been
able to discover their whereabouts,
Old Berks.
Since the Convention of independent dem
ocrats, which assembled at Harrisburg on the
13th of April last, from all parts of the State,
to protest against the bcold attempt of Mr.
Buchanan and his packed convention of of
fice-holder to federalize the Democratic Party
and to declare their unalterable adherence to
the doctrine that the people of the Territories,
like those of the States, have full power to reg
ulate all their domestic affairs, the Democratic
State CouVentions of Maine, Vermont. lowa
and Ohio, have passed resolutions or.precise
ly similar import, in defiance of the most de
termined efforts, of the Federal Administra
tion, and it is morally certain that, every
Northern State will, when its Democracy
meets in State Convention, declare itself in
favor of the position so boldly taken and so
ably and eloquently defended by Judge Doug
las ; viz : that the question of slavery, as well
as all others of a domestic nature, should be
left to the people of the territories to deter
mine for themselves.
The power of truth is said to be sharper
than a two-edged sword, and Mr. Buchanan
is probably by this time conviricedthat neith
er the patronage of the Government nor the
threats of excommunication from the party
can drive the North from its rallying position.
His administration is no longer regarded
with that respect which its elevated position
should command, and the course of events
will soon show it to be outside of the recog
nized principles of the Democratic Party.
Nor can any reliance be placed upon its of
ficial declarations. Three times has it chan
ged front in almost as many weeks on the
single question of protection to naturalized
citizens. The Le Clerc letter took the whole
country by surprise, and its doctrines were
so startling and untenable that men of all
parties—whys, Democrats, Republicans,
Americans and Abolitionists—the North and
the South assailed and ridiculed the construc
tion placed upon the question of allegiance
and protection until the Government, in sheer
self-respect and in deference to the public
sentiment of the Republic, abandoned them
to their fate and fell back upon the true Ameri
can doctrine of the right of expatriation.—
We trust, the Administration will no longer
aim to be the keeper of the democratic con
science, or claim to be regarded as the infal
lible ex ponent of democratic principles. With
such facts before us, in announcing our posi
tion it is only necessary to say, that we stand
to-day, with the great body of the Party,
above Mason and Dixon's line—to say noth
ing of the conservative men of the South, who
are speaking with warning voice to their fire
eating brethern—and we firmly believe that
before long, the entire Democracy of the
Union will 'take position on the old platform
of 1856, leaving Mr. Buchanan and his cabi
net in little better plight than the old Whig
Party left Mr. Tyler. Three months ago the
States Rights Democracy of Pennsylvania
stood isolated and alone—essaying, in behalf
of a mis-represented public sentiment, to op
pose itself to one of the.most nefarious and
desperate attempts to pervert the regular or
ganization of the Party for the purpose of
sustaining a dangerous political heresy. But
the attempt was signally rebuked, and the
packed cqnvention, with all the perseverino ,
industry of its indefatigable chairman, Bob
Tyler, who does up to order, addresses to the
Democracy, stands "alone in its
„glory," a
monument of disappointed treachery and a
warning to all to beware of its example.—
Berks County Democrat.
War Upon Gov. Wise.
The Buchanan press of Pennsylvania have
opened their batteries upon Governor Wise of
Virginia. The Erie Observer, edited by B.
F. Sloan, one of Mr. Buchanan's officials—
Postmaster at Erie—stigmatizes Governor
Wise and his followers as "traitors," and
charges that he and they-" are partners in
the treason of John W: Forney, and with
him are endeavoring to dismember the Dem
ocratic party."
The denunciation of Gov. Wise on the part
of the Lecompton press of Pennsylvania, to
the uninitiated, would seem rather a strange
proceeding ; inasmuch as the Administration
and Mr. Wise, upon the Territorial question,
occupy precisely. the smile grounds; both being
in fizvor of Congressional Intervention. The
mystery of this Administration denunciation
of the gallant Virginian, may be discerned in
the fact that his " mad-cap followers," as his
friends are styled by the Buchanan organs,
have recently set on foot in Philadelphia and
other parts of Pennsylvania, an organization,
the object of which is to bring forward the
name of Governor Wise for the Presidency.
This move, the Buchananites fear, will prove
detrimental to their scheme which is to leave
the State for their master. Mr. Buchanan is
a candidate for re-election, notwithstanding
the frequent denial of the fact on the part of
his parasites. Mr; Buchanan himself, has,
quite recently, frequently spoken of the "ne
cessity" of such a course on his part, and it
is a. fact patent to those who have closely
watched the machinations of the Adminis
tration Conspirators in Pennsylvania, that
nearly every prominent officer-holder in the
State is already secretly-at work to pack. the
next State Convention with the tools of the
present derelict and odious National Adminis
! tration. •
This is the true sequel to the bitter denun
ciation of Governor Wise and his friends on
the part of the Administration press of Penn
sylvania.
We are not the apologist or champion of
Henry A.. Wise. He•is able and capable of
defending himself. He has many devoted
friends and admirers in this State,• and the
attempt of the Administration to "crush him
out," can have no other effect than still far
ther to widen the breach in the party, which,
through the treachery and folly of Mr. Bu
chanan .and his satraps has already been
driven to the very verge or irretrievable des
truction. It would seem that nothing short
of an utter annihilation of the .Demccracy
will suit these traitorous disorganizers. '
How many votes do the Buchanan press
expect.to gain for the State ticket this fall, by
the course it is now -pursuing ? How many
of the friends of Mr.• Wise, do they expect to
to alienate from the support of their State
ticket, by denouncing them as " traitors ?"
They hope to carry the State upon the
platform laid down at the Office-holders' Con
vention, claim the result as a Buchanan vic
tory, and then urge his re-nomination as a
" necessity !" That is the . Buchanan pro
gramme for Pennsylvania.—State Sentinel.
RESUSCITATION OP NEWSPAPERS.---The mor
ning after the French occupation of Milan,
several journals that had been suppresSed by
the Austrian government, re-appeared. One
had been suppressed five years, and in the
last number had ,promised. the conclusion"
of a story in the next. True to promise, the
next, at. the end of tive years, -took up the
- story where it had been left off, and conclu
ded it,
A Singular Affair—A Man Falls in Love
with his own Daughter---Grand De-
nouement.
Some fifteen years ago, a man named Geo.
Bristol, left this city for the shores of the Pa
cific. At the time he left, he had a wife and
one child, the latter only three .years old.—
They resided in the town of Waterloo. - At
the time, his wife and child werelivirig with
her father. Some two years after, the father
and 'another of the woman•died, their estates
disposed of to satisfy .MortgageS, and Mrs.
Bristol and her child were thrown upon the
cold charities of the world 'for a living." She
was very feeble in health, and of course was
unable to take care of herself. The mother
and child came to this city, where they lived
for some five years, at the expiration of
which time the mother died, and the girl was
left alone in the world to do as best she could,
being now about ten years old, and a smart,
active good-looking girl, she soon found a sit
uation in a respectable family. .
Here "she remained till she was 15 years
old, when she bound herself out to a milliner.
She served three years at that business and
had become mistress of.her profession. Now,
the strangest portion of this revelation is to
be told. The girl is now over 18 years old,
and a perfect model of During this
long interval'it must be remembered that the
girl lost all track of her father. Her beauty
attracted the attention and admiration of a
spruce looking
.gentleman who met her on
Broadway. He was a man of about 40 years,
but his appearance did not indicate that he
had ever seen over 25 summers. ,
An acquaintance *as made between her
and the gentleman above alluded to, and a
final engagement entered into for Marriage.
The day was set, and all the necessary ar
rangements made for the ceremony. On the
appointed day, the pair, accompanied by
their friends, met for the purpose of having
the plighted ones joined in wedlock. Just
before the minister commenced the marriage
rites, an old couple entered. They were for
merly neighbors of the Bristol family; and
had watched the girl grow up from infancy,
and were now anxious to see the choice she
had made in a partner for life.
Imagine the surprise of all abOut, when
the old couple, above referred to, recognized
in the " man of the girl's heart," her own
legitimate father. ,Fo*r a moment all amaze
ment and sadness, but en the state of things
being fully realized, the scene turned to one
of joy. An absent father had recovered a
lost daughter, and the assembled throng of
friends were highly delighted ,that the affitir
had resulted as it did. The love that had be
fore burned so brightly between the twain,
had now become a flatne as inextinguishable
as the fires of Vesuvius. A queer world this,.
—.Alb. Statesman.
A DELICATE 13..EnnicE.—Mr. Webster wrote,
after continued provocation, to the editor of
a newspaper, which referred to his private
affairs, and especially to his not paying his
debts. He said substantially : "It is true
that I have not always paid my debts punc
tually, and that I owe money. One cause of
this is, that I have not pressed those who
owe me fur payment. As an instance of this,
I enclose your father's note, •made to me thir
ty years ago, for money lent him to educate
his boys."
