Our County Convention
We have made it our business to ascertain
the feelings of the Democratic party through
out the county, as
. to what the action of our
Convention, which meets here on Wednesday
next should be, and we are persuaded to be
lieve that with but very few exceptions, all
the Democrats desire is, the formation of a
full ticket—a good ticket,--and a ticket that
will pull with the whole party, and pull alto
gether. No further action in the shape of
"platform" resolutions, will be 'asked for by
Democrats who desire harmony in our ranks
now and hereafter, or the success of the ticket
nominated. No Democrat having thC suc
cess of the party and its principles at heart,
will be foolhardy enough to ask the Conven
tion to first nominate agood ticket and then
damn it with resolutions endorsing or repu
diating the State or National Administrations.
The past should be a lesson for all future.
It may not be out of place here, for us to
inform our party what course we may be ex
pected to pursue in the approaching cam
paign. We cannot vote for the. State Ticket as
it now stands, for the reason that our vote
would be counted as endorsing the political
conduct of James Buchanan and Senator
Bigler, and as a repudiation of Gov. Packer,
because he would not act with them on their
Krirnias policy. But we shall not ask the
Democrats of the County to withhold their
votes from the State ticket—they, of course,
will exercise their own judgments and vote
as may best please theni. If they vote for
the State Ticket, it will be because they be
lieve it to be their duty to do so—and if a
portion of the party withhold 'their votes
from the ticket, they will do so, believing
they will be doing the best for the future
success of the party in the State and Union.
We shall contend for nothing more than the
right to refuse by our vote, an endorsement of
Buchananism; and if there are men in the
Democratic ranks who refuse this right to us,
all we have to say is, we despise their De
mocracy,lland challenge their efforts to injure
The Globe.
Seb—Next week will be a week of anxiety
and vexation of spirits in the Opposition
Tanks.- The crowd in town is expected to be
enormous—the candidates for nomination in
the Opposition party alone, will make a con
siderable crowd, and then- it is expected that
all their relations and many - out-siders 'will
be in attendance to give life to the occasion.
And then it must be remembered that the
Democratic County Convention; win also bring
a small crowd, and the Court its criminals,
jurors,. witnesses, and others. The crowd
must be enormous, ant the price of beans
and pork must go up.

LOCAL CORIZESPONDENCE
PETERSBURG, July 25, 1859
Ma. EDITOR :—Saturday last was a memo
rable day with the citizens of our borough
and vicinity. Some weeks since, it was de
termined to have a celebration of the Sunday
School of the M. E. Church of this place,
and the 23d inst., was fixed upon as the time
when it should be held. Accordingly, the
worthy and highly esteemed Superintendent,
(Jos.- M. Stevens,) whose affable manners and
christian deportment not only command uni
versal respect, but whose energy insures suc
cess' in whatever be undertakes, spared no
pains to make the occasion one of general in
terest. Speakers were provided, a suitable
grove was . secured, and provisions necessary
to make it an occasion of festivity were solicit
ed, and be it said to the credit of all, that the
solicitation met with a most hearty response,
as the table. and persons present would bear
witness. Also, a general invitation was giv
en for all who felt an interest, to be present
and partake of the good things of the day.—
The day came - on, and never did the rays of
old Sol dispel the darkness and usher in a
brighter day than was that to many hearts.
At nine and-a half o'clock the entire school
with numerous spectators, had assembled in
the church, and after the school had
sung a hymn the procession was formed as
follows: Ist. The Rev. A. A. Eskridge, who
presided during the exercises of the day, and
the Rev. J. D. Brown, of Birmingham. 2nd.
The banner of the school, borne by a lad, ac
companied with two of the fairest of the fair.
3d. The female portion of the school arranged
according to the classes. 4th. The banner
of the Temperance Society of Petersburg.-
sth. The male portion of the school arranged
according to classes, While the spectators
closed the procession. In this order, they
proceeded to the grove of Mr. John Rung,
where all were snugly seated. After a few
moments rest, prayer was offered by the Rev.
Mr. Eskridge, followed by a hymn, sung by
the school. J. W. Olewine was then intro
duced to the audience, 'and addressed them
on the subject of the Moral Culture. After
speaking of the importance and advantage of
early moral training and the discouragements
which cause so many to, cease their efforts to
cultivate the morals of the young, he closed
with an earnest -appeal to all—as Philan
thropists, as Patriots, as Farents—for their
weight of influence in behalf of a pure chris
tian, moral sentiment. Another hymn was
sung, after which, John T. Dopp delivered a.
most appropriate address to the Sunday Schol
ars. His" address- was brief, but contained
sentiments that only find a lodgment in a
heart that appreciates the full value of Sab
bath School instructions. He was followed
by Owen Hicks, of Barree, who, in an elo
quent manner delivered an -address, entitled
"The Bible." A hymn was then sung by
the school, after which, a : procession of the
school with the president and speakers at
their head, marched to the table, where the
luxuries of life were received to the full sat
isfaction and highest gratification of all.—
They vvere then dismissed to enjoy themselves
in - pleasant strolls or such amusements as
they might find it agreeable to engage in.
Another bountiful table was prepared for the
numerous friends, who, by their presence,
showed that they felt an interest in the cause.
At two o'clock, all were again called to order:
The School sung another hymn and the teach
ers and parents were addressed by the Rev.
Mr. Brown, the speaker of the day. The
speech was charactet:ized with that earnest-,
ness which inspires eloquence. Long years
may bury in the hidden recesses of memory,
much of that day's exercises and enjoyments,
but the sentiments of truth, uttered with such
dignity and eloquence, will find a record on
memory's highest page, which time cannot
efface_ The closing hyinn was then sung.—
The superintendent thanked the audience for
their kind attention. and very good order,
which we have no hesitancy in•saying, was
without a parallel in any similar gathering
we ever witnessed. They were then dismis
sed with the benediction. Thus was the day
spent by the greater portion of our citizens,
and with but one exception, (what a pity,)
everybody appeared to enjoy themselves and
spoke their entire satisfaction with the exerci
ses of the day. Yours respectfully.
te...,We know a .young lady who has a
good opportunity to attend school; but will
not. - Why ? Simply because.her parents, to
gratify her vanity, adorn so profusely her
body, that no money is . left with which to cul

not with her companions to school, but shines
in the evening with the fellows, and is pretty

and her poor bamboozled father and mother.
Her dresses, it must be admitted, are fine,
and generally in good taste. ,This much
credit we accord her cheerfully. But her

she Will .find that she has chosen a perilous
path—a path full of danger to her religion,
her morals, and'her virtue. Earnestly then,
we repeat, let no one follow her example.
With a head full of that knowledge which
is " more precious than jewels," and a heart
refined and ennobled by.a proper education
—with these, a young lady that might have
been a senseless gabbier or a nice looking
nuisance, becomes what all sensible men
wish their sisters, their sweethearts, or their
daughters to be,' that is, a high-minded, in
telligent, christian woman, a real and noble
" queen of hearts." We do not mean to say
that men dislike handsome dresses and other
pretty " fixins," but what we do Wish to say
is, that men have wits enough to know, that
" the dress is not the woman."
CORRESPONDENCE OF THE GLOBE.
Letter . from Nebraska Territory.
COLUMBUg, July 21, 1859.
DEAR GLOBE :—The Indian difficulties that
I spoke of in my last letter, are settled, and
our fair Territory is once more blest with
peace ; the squatter has ruturned to his home
and resumed the implements of toil, and the
Indian has gone to his hunting ground in the
West.
The depredations committed by the Paw
nees, are not as serious as they were repre
sented to be—stealing cattle, plundering
houses, and insulting women and children ;
is the extent of their crimes; they committed
no murders, as was at first reported. As I
stated in my last, it was nothing but a Plun
dering expedition, it is true, when settlers re
fused to give up their cattle or-goods, threats
were made, and deadly weapons were pre
sented, but there was an alternative, which
was readily accepted. The Indians retreated
with their booty up the Elk Horn river -we
mustered an army of two hundred men, and
started in pursuit of them. After following
on their trail, eight days, we came up with
a party of Omahas, who were camped for the
night ; they-told us that the Pawnees were
camped on the opposite side of 'a creek, six
miles west of us. Orders were given to camp
and take supper, and then prepare to march
at two o'clock in the morning. Supper over,
and every man of our little army could be
seen cleaning his fire-arms, which were con
siderably worse after eight days of forced
marches over rivers, creeks and sloughs.—
All being in readiness at two o'clock, the or
der was given to march. The 'early dawn
made its appearance, and but one mile of neu
tral ground lay between us and the enemy.—
They engaged in packing their ponies for the
march, and we in our saddles and ranks for
the fight. The word was given to charge,
and as our horses wenethundering along over'
the prairie, the Indians took the alarm, and
in all my experience in Western life, I never
saw red skin's hair and dust fly so promiscu
ously ; pappooses were dropped in the tall
glass, and bales of moccasins, dried meat,
buffalo robes and blankets, where most con
venient. A chase Of about three miles, and a
few shots, brought the main body to a stand;
signals of peace were hoisted by the enemy.
In a few minutes, the rear of- our army was
on the ground in battle array, and then only
did the Pawnees see to what inferior num
bers they had surrendered without firing a
shot themselves. The odds were four to one
in their favor ; their white flag was instantly
lowered, and the white feather torn from the
head of the brave ; a black flag toek . the place
of the emblem of peace, and the defiant bear
ing of the warrior, as he urged his horse at
the top of his speed, across the prairie, be
tokened deadly strife. Our cannon, which
was well loaded with chain shot, was instant
ly brought to bear on them; this had a ten
dency- to quiet their nerves. They appeared
to have a most profound respect for this brass
implement of warfare, so much so, indeed,
that the black flag disappeared, and we nev-,
er saw it again. The Chiefs now came into
make a treaty, the conditions of which, were
laid down to them by the interpreter, and
are as follows :—That the Pliwnees shall pay
out of their Government annuity, all the
damages they have done the whites, and pay
the expense of the expedition that went in_
pursuit of them, and deliver up ail, as pris
oners of war, who could be recognized as hav
ing been connected with thalate depredations.
Six of the braves were identified and Tait un
der arrest, one of which, we afterwards re
leased, in consequence of wounds which he
had received, that must, ere this, have ter
minated fatally. Three of the others were
shot in an attempt to escape. After the treaty
was made, our copper-colored friends , set
themselves about gathering up their pappooses
and "ingin fixins ;" this being accomplished,
they started- on'l,heir march up the Elk Horn,
and we returned to our homes. One of the
Chiefs had the misfortune to loose one' of his
children that was dropped in the tall grass
during their flight, it being quite young 'arid
helpless, they were unable to find it again,
which was much regretted by all.

The recklessness of the Buchanan party in
their efforts to sustain the rotten cause of the
National Administration, is nowhere more ap
parent than in the attempts they havemade to
Per,vert the truth in relation to the action of the
late Vermont Democratic State Convention,
and the preferences of the delegates from that
State to the Charleston Convention. They
have persistently denied that Vermont was
for Douglas, and claimed that she was,indis
solubly wedded to Mr. Buchanan. And this
they have done in defiance of the plain lan
guage of the resolutions adopted by the Con
PnILO
Douglas In Vermont.
vention, and the cheers given for Douglas at
the close of its session.
Remarking upon this unfair course of.the
Buchanan press—or rather as they would be
called in Vermont, the Cow Boy press—the
Montpelier _Patriot, the organ of the Vermont
Democracy, says:
" There was a regular, and systematic ral
ly of the Democracy and the Cow Boys at the
convention. The thing was .fully and fairly
understood by every Democrat and Cow Boy
in the - State; and the latter, especially, rallied
to the last of their ability. The issue was
distinctly made up before the convention—
Douglas and Popular Sovereignty, against the
Cow Boys and a slave code. The Democracy
turned out to see that the first were endorsed,
and the Cow Boys to see that they were re
pudiated. The Cow Boys were most inglo
riously beaten and annihilated. For' the
"highess authority," through the Boston Post
or any other paper, to say that this is not the
truth, is to say what the entire Democracy
know is entirely outside the fact.
‘.‘ The delegates are all Popular Sovereign
ty men, reject the slave' code and the consti
tutional slavery inventions, and will cast
their votes in the Convention as a unit for the
man, under all the circumstances, best fitted to
be the standard bearer of the National Democ
racy. Who that man may be, time and cir
cumstances will determhae. It is S4fficient
that they stand on the platform laid - down by
the Convention that elected them. This, and
the honorable character of the gentlemen
elected, gives sufficient 'assurance that their
action will be such as will be cordially ap
proved by the members of, the party they rep
resent."
This is the history of the Convention, and
shows plainly enough the direction of its sym
pathies and • those of the delegates chosen.—
True, there was a resolution passed approv
ing the general policy of the National .Ad
ministration but it was done more as a mat
ter of form than one of feeling, and this the
Buchanan press fully understand. They
wince under the stripes inflicted on the Ad
ministration everywhere and can only keep
their heads above water by the grossest false
hood and deception. In the North they are
dead, and in the South damned, and yet, like
drowning men, they catch at every straw, and
with an effrontery peculiarly their own, en
deavor to persuade the people that they are
not only alive and safe, but strong and popu
lar. Never• was political mendacity more
strongly marked than in the present course
of the *Administratidn press." They appear
to be callous to truth, and impervious to every
just or patriotic sentiment.
But all their efforts can not hide the truth.
Vermont is for Douglas, and the delegates to
the Charleston Convention are for him: On
this subject the Patriot is emphatic. It says :
"It is 'no use cheating - ali the time. The
Democracy of Vermont, - at the late election,
polled 13,338 votes; of these, it is safe to say
13,300 are Douglas men.
" Such are the facts, and the attempts in
any quarter to annoy Judge Douglas and his
friends by the impression that the Democra
cy of-his native State will - not stand by him
in all fair and honorable means to obtain the
nomination at Charleston, if he wants it, in
accordance with the usages of the party„ in
dicate a meanness of spirit worthy of some of
his opponents, and a short-sighted policy
characteristic of others, who appear to think
that TRICKERY, DECEPTION, and CORRUPTION
are to *in at the Charleston Convention."
Now, will these Cow Boys acknowledge
that the Patriot, the organ of the Vermont
Democracy, knows more than they do about
the feeling there, or will they- continue in
their course of misrepresentation and decep
tion ? .
The War Against Gov. Packer.
Notwithstanding the peril in which it
plunges the Democratic party, by' strength
ening•bad feelingg, the press hounds of the
national Administration still keep up their
malignant yell at the heels of Governor
Packer; and through him, at the multitude
of other Democrats who refused to acknowl
edge Lecomptonism as Democratic.' Unable
to longer withstand an almost unanimous
public opinion against that fraud, on the 16th
of March, at the instigation of a few such
beauties as Arnold Plumer, the disorganizers
attempted to juggle the honest masses by
turning anti-Lecomptonism into a canal- hob
by, and upon that legless, bodiless, headless,
lifeless creation of their own corrupt imagi
nations, those worthies continue to ride and
trumpet, with - the fury of a set of
_madmen,
against the Governor and the party: Among
the foremoSt and loudest of this pretty pack
of pure minds is the editor of the Harrisburg
Patriot and Union—(do the Democrats of
Lycoming county know him ?)—close .
comes the Pennsylvanian, (with the admira
ble _political machinery of which, and the
power that moves it, we claim some acquain
tance;) and in the after train follow a pack
of little bell-whiffets, among which the Lu
zerne Union is striving to distinguished itself,
by the incessancy of its puny ki-yi. •
If Democrats would have harmony in the
party—and We know that is just what every
real Democrat most desires, for without "har
mony there cannot be success—the earlier
they disown such • newspapers, and disavow
such disorganizers as usurped the conven
tion of the 16th of March, the better.
• Anti-
LecOmptort Democrats 'may, as they .have;
almost invariably, from the first, 'remain si
lent—raising their voices only to cry "peace"
—without avail. - Those arch-disorganizers
and demagogues are determined that there
shall be no peace while they can retain, the
power to foment discord. But shall the har
mony of the party be forever bartered away
to such political traders, that they, may keep
themselves gal zod into apparent political
life, and conti thrust themselves upon
the party to distract it ? .
Why, Governor Packs -( against (against whom be
cause of his prominent laosition, a large pro
portion of the venom of the disorganizers is
hurled,) served with the Democratic ranks
before some of them were born; he served
with the Democratic ranks while others; of
them were yet with the' opposition, as open
foes of Democracy ; he is serving with the
Democratic ranks now, while they are covert
ly striving to scatter them ; and he will -con
tinue service with the Democratic ranks, ead
ing them on to victory, after they "have gone
back to the camp of its avowed enemies, and
are remembered by Democrats only for their
perfidy and the mischief they were permitted
to accomplish.
And here let us put upon record what is
patent to everybody : That neither Governor
Packer, nor the overwhelming majority who,
like him, dissented from the President's views
upon the Lecompton issue, either originated
the past ill feeling in the Democratic party,
or have been foremost in keeping it alive.—
They differed in opinion with. the President
and a portion of their fellows, as any man
may, (without committing a sin in the eyes
of Heaven,) but they never entertained a
thought of persecuting those who did not
think like them. Throughout the trouble
they have stood solely upon the defensive,
and by patient silence—excepting only when
pushed to the wall by a clamorous minority,
bent upon evil—endeavored,to promote har
mony. Neither has Governor Packer nor his
friends made any effort to gain the control of
political conventions, for the paltry purpose
of having them adopt a resolution -endorsing
his views or condemning those of others, be
cause, relying upon the correctness of their
position, they have not thought it necessary
to resort to such shallow tricks to sustain
themselves with the people ; while, upon the
other hand, the greatest energies of the Pres- -
ident have been put forth to that end ; and any
and every means applied by him to secure it.
In the majority, yet ever holding out the olive
branch—avoidiing, with, abundant materials
within reach, crimination against others, and
useless agitation—Governor Packer and his
friends have continually sought for peace ;
and yet the war of reckless. men and news
papers against them seems to abate none in
its fury. -
Who, then, will be responsible if the State
should be lost again this year 7 and who is
responsible for the defeat of the Democratic
ticket last year? None but those demagogues
who are carrying on the war 'against the Gov
ernor ; and upon them alone it must rest !
Thank Heaven, with two or three impo
tent exceptions, this spirit of persecution and
contention seems to have no abettors in Ly
coming county ; and we have, at this mo
ment, flattering prospects of a triumpkin the
county in October. Let every Democrat ex
ert himself to that end.—Lycoming Gavette,
July 27.
Death of Col. Hofius.
Ifor,LwArsuuna, July 25, 1859
Our town was thrown into intense and un
usual excitement, this evening, by the sudden
demise of Colonel David IL Hofius, a promi
nent citizen, who was well known to a large
number of the people in this State. 'lie
studied law in Bedford, and immediately af
ter graduating, he went to Mexico as a lieu
tenant in one of the companies of the Second
Penn Sylvania Regiment of volunteers, and
was in. all the conflicts in which that regi
ment distingtiished itself. On his return, he
located in this place, and commenced the
practice of his profession. A man of fine
perceptive faculties, added to a brilliant edu
cation, clear reasoning powers, and untiring
industry, soon gave him a commanding posi
tion at the bar. -By his forensic eloquence
and powerful arguments, he acquitted a man
named Tracy, tried for murder a few years
ago, although the community thought then,
and think still, that Tracy was guilty. Col.
Haft us also defended McKim, tried, convicted
and executed for the murder of Norcross ;
and, although the Commonwealth bad pre
pared the case most elaborately, he still
managed to give its attornies considerable
trouble. He was a most - finished criminal
lawyer.
Ile was about the streets of our borough,
as usual, up to within a few minutes of his
death. lle had seated himself in an arm
chair in front of the Exchange Hotel, where
Col. J. M. Gilmore was reading the news to
him, when he gave a gasp and was in the
act of falling backwards, but was caught by
Col. Gilmore, who, with others removed him
to a settee in the sitting room. But a few
Moments elapsed between the first attack and
his removal, yet the vital spark had fled be
fore they could place him upon the couch.—
He evidently died otcongestion of the brain.
Col. flofius wasi.,,apparently forty years of
age. lie was oniceffie District Attorney of
the county, and, Once.'ran' for; - the Legislature.
At the time of hii:deathile was the Captain
of the "llollidaysbUrgYenelbles," who, aided
by the rest of the in all proba
bility, bury him with the of war, on
Wednesday.
Poor Hofius Bind-hearted and clever, as
the world goes—ever ready to do his friends
a service without money.or price, he had few
enemies in the world. It is true that death
sooner or later overtakes the fleetest courser
on the track—the most stalwart must bend
before his conquering thrust; but-when the
dark-winged Azad strikes down one in our
midst who is in the very prime of life, and
one with whom we but a few moments be
fore held social converse, the • thought is ap
, paling, and we may well exclaim, " Great

Death of non. Richard Rush.
[From the Philadelphia Press, Aug. lst.]
It becomes our sad duty to announce this
morning the death of• one of the most distin
guished American citizens—Hon. Richard
Rush. He died in this city on Saturday morn
ing last, the 30th of July, between seven and
eight o'clock, at his residence, in Eighth street,
below Locust. He suffered greatly at times
during his long :illness, which commenced
early in the spring, but it was a great con
solation to his farad) , and friends that he was
free from pain as his end approached ; that he
was in full possession of all his faculties, and
perfectly composed and resigned • and that he
passed off without a struggle. He was born
in Philadelphia, in August of 1780, and was
in the seventy-ninth, year of his age.
Few men have served the nation more faith
fully in important stations, and few have more
honestly earned and more fully enjoyed, for
.an extended. period, the confidence and res
pect of, the American people. He was the
second son :of Dr. Benjamin Rush, one of the
signers of the Declaration of Independence,
whose devotion as patriot, talent as a states
man; skill as &physician, and merited repu
tation as a philosopher, won for him one of the
proudest places in American history. His
maternal grandfather, Richard Stockton, of
New Jersey, : was another of the signers of

the Mississippi Democrat, with the hope of
dissuading the people of that Ste from ef
forts to revive the slave trade, argues that we
are likely, in the course of years, to be at a
loss what to do with our surplus slave popu
lation, instead of needing more. He under
takes to show what the-population of the Uni
ted States will be a hundred yetirs hence.—
By his calculation, it will be 350,000,000, of
which 39,000,000, or a little more than eleven
per cent. will be slaves ; while at, present it
is 31,000,000, of which more than thirteen
per cent •are slaves.

EDICAL SCIENCE.
The history of "lIOOFLAND'S GERMAN BIT
-151c,!.•," the most remarkable medicine - of the day, and
the many cures that have been performed with it in cases
of LIVER COMPLAINT, DYSPEPSIA. NERVOUS DE
BILITY, and diseases arising from 'a disordered liver or
stomach, place it among the most astonishing discoveries
that have taken place in the medical world. The diseases
to which these Bitters are applicable are so universal, that
there are but few of our friends who may not test their
virtues in their own families or circle of acquaintances,
and prove to their own satisfaction that there is at least
one remedy among the many advertised medicines, deser
ving the public commendation. It is a fact that, in the
minds of many persons, a prejudice exists against what
are called Patent Medicines ; but why should this prevent
you resorting to an article that has such an array of tes
timony to support it as lioodand's German Bitters? Phy
sicians prescribe it, Why should you discard it? Judges,
usually considered men of talent, have and do use it in
their own fatuities. Why should you reject it? Clergy
men, and those the most eminent, take it; why should
not you? Let not your prejudice usurp your reason. to
the everlasting injury of your health; if you are sick, and
require a medicine, try these Bitters.
These Bitters are prepared and sold by Dr. C. 11, Jack
son, No. 418 Arch street, Philadelphia, Pa., and by drug
gists and storekeepers in every town and village in the
United States, Canadas, West Indies, and South America,
at 75 cents per bottle. See that the signature of C. 31
Jackson is on the wrapper of each bottle,
