The present political campaign will soon terminate, and we shall end it as we be gan it, with sober words calmly expressed. At our mast-head, will be found a county ticket, composed of honest and competent men, whose elevation to office by the free suffrages of the people of this county, would be an hon. or to old Huntingdon. . Nominated because of their fitness for the positions, they would, if elected, one and all, strive to serve the best interests of the people. 'We have not before in this campaign, de scended. to do the dirty work of vilifying the candidates of the Opposition ticket, as the Journal and American have done of the Dem ocratic ticket, and we shall not now at the elev enth hour, depart from our settled course.— Vulnerable as some of the candidates of the other ticket are in private affairs, we refrain, as we before said we would, from polluting our.lips and soiling our fair paper, with such -labored effusions of slanderous abuse as are weekly emitted from the portals of the Oppo sition press. The candidates on our ticket are all well known to the people of the county, and need no studied eulogies from our pen, to introduce them to the confidence of the public. They need no hired scribblers to magnify their ability and manufacture political capital—they need no special trumpets to proclaim their fame— they need no hired choirs to chant anthems to their praise—they are plain men—they are of the people—Amuse the people—and if elected, will not be ABOVE the people. Then, fellow citizens we ask, will you elect them ? We believe you will. We are mis taken in our estimate of the intelligence and honesty of the voters of this county, if they permit honest and competent men—ruthless ly assailed as they are—to be defeated. If they are elected, we shall rejoice—not over a fallen and vanquished enemy—but in the tri umph of the people over the schemes of cor rupt political gamesters. A Mistake Corrected In the last American., there appears the following sentence : "Should the "sweet sparkler" fall short, Africa can appropriate the ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS which he received..for his services as a member of the Town Council during the year 1854." This is the second time this matter has ap peared in print. The accusation that Mr. A. received such money is incorrect, and we have charity enough to presume, that Mr. Nash would not wilfully make this mis-statement. The following certificate from Mr. Miller, the Treasurer of the borough, is explicit: I have been Treasurer of the borough of Huntingdon for the last sixteen years. I have .carefully examined the books in my office, and can and do, state positively, that J. Simpson Africa never received any com pensation for his services as Assistant Bur gess, or member of the Town Council of the borough of Huntingdon. JACOB MILLED, Treasurer. October 3, 1859. se.- The Now Orleans True Delta of Sep tember 18, in an article on the Charleston Convention and its nominee, rebukes the Southern politicians who declare they will not support Judge Douglas if he is nomina ted, and says: "Douglas represents the ad vanced political sentiment Of the nation ; he is on the true ground as regards the princi ples upon which the durability of our insti tutions must rest. lie has youth, uncommon vigor of mind and body ; is possessed of cour age, firmness, and gifts of eloquence, rarely equalled ; and, above all living men, can in voke in his favor the conservative and patri otic feelings, as well as the popular confi dence and love of the glorious Western por tion of the Confederacy, which has never yet been honorecl,,by having a Democratic candi- - date for the Presidency taken from among her intellectually stalwart sons." The Difference. • If Mr. 'Wigton is elected to the Legisla ture, his bill will run as follows : Salary, $7OO 00 Mileage 264 miles, 39 60 Stationery, 25 00 If, in the course of human events, Mr. Af rica should be elected, his bill will run thus: ' Salary, $5OO 00 Mileage 194 miles, 29 10 Stationery, 25 00 Dir. 'Wigton's bill, Saving to the Commonwealth, $2lO 50 At the Convention which nominated Mr. Africa, the following resolution was passsed : WHEREAS, It is the sentiment of the De mocracy of Huntingdon county, that our Leg islators should be paid a. reasonable but not an exhorbitant salary for their labor, there fore, Resolved, That the candidate for Assem-, bly this day nominated, be and he is hereby instructed to use his best efforts to reduce the salary of Legislators from $7OO to $,500 per annum, and to refuse, if elected, to accept more than five hundred dollars for his ser vices. Now, if the salary is reduced from $7OO to $5OO, it will be a saving to the Common wealth of $2OO on each member, which amount, if multiplied by 133, the number of members in the Senate and House, will amount to the snug sum of $26,600 00— equal to the whole State tax levied in the counties of Huntingdon and Blair. What think ye of this, farmers and mechanics? A SMALL BUSINESS.—We have been in formed that Mr. Wigton has been circulating a story that Messrs. Africa and Speer were trading off Capt. Galbraith, our candidate for Commissioner, for votes for themselves in Jackson and Barree townships. We are au thorized to pronounce it wholly untrue.— What better could we expect from a man who traduces his opponent by branding him as an infidel ? 3. Simpson Africa The Opposition papers of this borough, in the discharge of duty to their masters, have been weekly failed with abusive articles against our candidate for Assembly. Where he is known, their scurrility is harmless.— As personal detraction has been their policy since the nomination, we have been tempted to publish the following extracts from notices of the press which we find among our exchan ges, which silo* the esteem in which he is held throughout the Commonwealth: It gives us pleasure to record the nomina tion of our youno. friend, J. Simpson Africa, Esq., of Huntingdon, as a candidate for the Legislature. No better man could have been nominated for that post. lie is a talented and rising young man, with a reputation for honesty and integrity that is to be envied, and we hope that he may be triumphantly elected.--3EcConnellsburg (Fulton Co.) Dem ocrat. 73.e—.Our esteemed friend, J. Simpson Af rica, Esq., has been nominated by the Demo crats of Huntingdon county for Assembly.— He has been a clerk in the State Senate for the last two sessions, and if elected will make an excellent Representative.—Brounisville (Fayette co.) Times. A GOOD NOMINATION.—The Democra cy of Huntingdon county has nominated J. Simpson Africa, for several years transcri bing clerk of the Senate, for the Assembly.— This is a good nomination and should be well supported by the Democracy of Huntingdon county.—Norristown (Montgomery co.) Reg ister. Jae- The Democracy of Huntingdon co., have nominated an excellent county ticket, and with such men as J. Simpson Africa for Assembly, and George W. Speer for Sheriff, ought to succeed. We are encouraged to be lieve that the prospect for success is very fa vorable. We hope to be able to record it.— Lewistown (Mifflin co.) Democrat. J. S. AFRICA.—The county will do herself credit by electing Mr. Africa to the Assem bly, for he is a young gentleman of intelli gence and integrity, and could not fail to be an efficient and useful legislator, who would' be true to the interests of his constituents and the welfare of the Commonwealth.— Philadelphia ,Pennsylvanian. J. S. AFRICA, ESQ.—We are gratified to learn that our friend, J. Simpson Africa, of Huntingdon, has received the Democratic nomination for Representative in the Legisla ture from that county. Mr. Africa is a young man of fine talents.and unspotted in tegrity. His election would be hailed where ever he is known, as the triumph of an able and worthy man. The people 'of Hunting don county, can do themselves no greater credit than to elect Mr. Africa to the Legis lature, and we hope sincerely that they will do so.—. Bedford Gazette. J. SIMPSG,N AFRICA, ESQ.—We are pleased to see that the Democracy of Huntingdon county have nominated J. Simpson Africa, Esq., for Assembly. Mr. A. is a gentleman possessing qualifications well calculated to make him a good legislator, besides which he has the experience of several years in the capacity of Clerk of the Senate, to aid him. He can enter into the discharge of legislative duties with the confidence and familiarity of an old member.—Johnstown, (Cambria co.) Echo. J. SimrsoN Ararc.l.—We aro pleased to see the Democratic ticket in Huntingdon county headedby J. Simpson Africa. When a Transcribing Clerk in the Senate he made many warm personal and political friends.— In his manners he is one of the most affable and obliging wen living. Such nominations reflect much credit upon the party making them.—Bloomfeld (Perry co.) Democrat. Ser The Democrats of Huntingdon coun ty have nominated J. Simpson Africa, Esq., for the Legislature. It is to be regretted that our General Assembly cannot be filled with such men, for then the Legislative Borer would have no, occupation—the interest of the people would be thoroughly protected, and ere long the good work of paying the State debt would be consummated. Mr. Africa bas been a transcribing clerk in the Senate for two years past, and in that position proved himself a man of decided capacity and un doubted integrity. As a legislator he would show himself competent, honest, economical, and true as steel to the best interest of the masses of the people. We hope there is a good prospect of his election.---lock Haven (Clinton co.) Democrat. We observe that the Derriocraky of Huntingdon, have nominated 3. Simpson Af rica for Assembly. Our Democratic friends of that district-have good reason to be proud of their condidato for this important position. To many of our readers Mr. Africa is person ally known, and those who do know him, know that he is an. honest, straight-forward man, and well qualified.to discharge the du ties of the office which his numerous friends are willing to bestow upon him.—Somerset Democrat. $764 60 $554 10 764 60 LOCAL CORRESPONDENCE. MR. EDITOR notice in the issue of the American of the 28th ult., that there is a communication from some booby, or conglom erated mass .of " rot-gut," " minnie-rifle," " tanglefoot" and " strychnine" whiskey, combined with a blue streak of the thunder and lightning of animosity and envy, colored slightly, and intermixed frequently with a few flourishes of the green-eyed monster, jealousy. This is more evident than a de sire for knowledge, or a benefit to suffering. humanity, by the self-styled and liege Lord Quixote, " whether for notoriety or not," "ex home." Now my noble and highly esteemed Quixote, if you refer to the Journal of the 14th ult., you can see just what I said, and I am able and willing, and will go the trouble of backing up the facts by chemical investiga tion, if that .will appease the wrath of your en vious indignation. Oh, thou Quixote, "wheth er for notoriety or not," "ex home." Now you desire to know how drugged whiskey ac ted on a tumour chemically ; if you will take the trouble of calling at my office when you come to town, it will afford me great pleas ure in giving you the Rational o. You will please remember that animal tissue is not rapidly dissolved by any of the alkaloids used f)r the purpose of drugging, whiskey, nor did I say that any of these was the agent that acted so powerfully as an escarotic, " whether for notoriety or not "ex lionzo.!'--- You refer to Dr. Carpenter ; will you please discriminate between the action of any one of the mineral acids on living and dead tis sue? you might have saved yourself the the trouble of referring to Carpenter.. Who, in the profession, pretends to doubt, for .a moment, that drugged whiskey or alcohol ab solute, does produce irritation, then conjes tion, and finally inflammation and ulceration, with a complete prostration of the nervous system, if the use of the " ardent"is perse vered in, " whether for notoriety or not:," "ex honto." Malignant Quxioto, your will ; the nature of the tumour; you shall have Tit. It was of the consistence of cartile,ge, con taining a dark semi-fluid liquid with narrow bands proceeding in irregular lines tOviards the circumference of the tumour, with bands of a fainter 'appearance passing transversely, &c. Nov for the size ; it was just about - as large as your imagination was, when you had your coat of mail and pasteboard uniform on. That is as near as may be, noble Don.— " Tine to dissolve a healthy man's system without a tumour, providing he was not sto ny ?" Why, my lordl it only takes half the time that you required to put orryour habili ments, when you were going forth to the re lief of some poor female in distreSs; or ad just your pasteboard uniform to meet the en emy of windmills. • To close the matter, I would say, Quixote," you dipped five thousand feet down into the bowels of latin, and picked up the wrong case, like the submarine Poe did, when he got hold of a stick, and danced around in happy glee with the mermaids, thinking that he had a piece of the Atlantic 'Cable. Or, if you are in the profession, "minnie-rifle" whis key, as you term it, must enter largely into your practice, either by day or night, and if you are a layman, you must use it to a very great extent as a condiment, or a perfume. I would merely say,- for your own benefit, if you would apply some ice to your head, and one of Doestick's plasters to your feet, and retire early, with the absence of the "ar dent," and let your friends alone, I trulyebe- Hove that you will be relieved .of that 'Men ingeaZ conflagration. If :this prescription does not giveyoU rest and ease, I will be un der the necessity.of preparing a refrigerator for you. • Farewell, Quixote, and be sure to take good care of the pasteboard. Yours, until the next visit, J. S. GRIFFITH.. Ma. EDITOR :—For a few months past, the humble communications 'of C. C., have been kindly granted a place in your 'columns, and the type has generally been a faithful repre sentation of the manuscript. In the course of that ever-varying process, called human life, a necessity has arisen for the cessation. of the epistolary labors of the aforesaid scrib bler. This necessity has grown out of the fact, that ere you read this sentence, he shall have vacated that renowned and venerable borough known to men of "ye olden time," as Chilcoat Town, but in later days , Yeltt r ped Cassville, in honor of the second best hero of the Presidential contest in '4B. Whether the mantle of C. C., will fall cm any one of those who remain, must hereafter be determined. With this communication, I resign the title to any one who may want it. The present term of the Seminary closes this week. On the evening of the -23 d ult., the Principal gave his last lecture, to the nor mal class for the term ! It was truly a pro CASSYILLE, Sept. 28, 1859. fessional lecture, one worthy a teacher of teachers. And now away we go ; the teach ers to their schools, and the rest to their homes. Few associations make impressions more enduring upon the heart than those , of our school days ; and as a consequence, there ire few separations more gloomy than the parting of students. The daily intimacy of ,the study, the ball, the table, the class-room, the chapel and the grove ; the interchange of thought and sentiment; the impress of mind on mind; all the mutual toils and pleasures of school-life, insensibly from, attachments not easily broken. Often have I seen the pleas ant anticipations of home-greetings yield to the consciousness of present bereavement, and tears of sorrow moistened the bright eyes and stain the smiling faces of exhibition day. And the student who turns away from the scene of so many joys, conscious that his school days are ended, that he must soon join the hurrying march of active life, and be 'urged on by the throng, beyond the loved scenes, and cherished friends - whose kindly welcome shall greet him no more forever, feels a loneliness, a heart-sinking, not un meet to be compared with that of him who hears the cold clods rattle over the senseless clay of his last earthly friend. Such is life. If we find a bower of delight, where we fain would fondly linger, times rapid wheels seem only to fly faster until we are borne from the grateful scene, and away, away we fly. Yet why should we sigh and weep? The strife will soon be over, and the joys and sorrows, the gladness and the heart-break of mortal -existence, all alike slumber in the dust.— Happy then shall they be for whom religion has illumined the darkness of the passage, and to whom she reveals, beyond the stormy shore, a Heaven serene I But enough. Being a student, about to leave Cassville Seminary, it is but just that I should testify to the excellence of the management of this institution under its present proprietor.— Prof. Walsh has fulfilled the promises of his catalogue, by furnishing par instruction at rates unusually low. It is my honest opin ion, and I humbly think, my enlightened opin 'on, that thia school is doing more for tho com mon schools of the county, than any other schools anywhere. lam not alone in this judgment. C. C. Melancholy Occurrence. From the Lewistown Democrat, Sept. 29.] Our citizens were startled early on Satur day morning last by, the announcement that James Platt, of Ennisville, Huntingdon coun ty, a private in the " Jackson Artillery," was mortally'wounded by a shot from a musket in the hands of Edward Mills, of - Patterson, a private in the " Ringgold Infan try," at the Camp Ground, on the previous night between 9 and 10 o'clock. Mr. Mills was on duty as a Sentitel, and was strictly "charged not to permit any person to pass the line without giving the countersign.— Mr. Platt approached the Camp, and was challenged by Mr. Mills with " Who goes there ?" to which the former replied, " Hold on, stranger—..l want to speak with you," and walked towards the latter. When with in a few paces of him, Mills ordered him to stop, and was in the act of charging bayonet, when his foot struck a stone, the concussion of which discharged the musket, the contents entering the abdomen of Platt. The musket was loaded with an eight-penny nail, which entered the left episgastrium, pierced the stomach, passed on through the body, and Made its exit about an inch from the verte bral column, inflicting a ghastly wound.— Mills immediately surrendered himself, and was placed under guard. On the following morning, after an investigation, he was re leased, all the facts elicited showing that the discharge of the gun was accidental. Drs. Worrall and Iran Valsah were sent for with out delay to dress the wounds of - Mr. Platt, and• were unremitting in their attentions to him, exerting all that medical and surgical skill could suggest, until Monday afternoon, when ho expired. Both Mr. Mills and Mr. Platt were es teemed in their respective homes as quiet, sober, respectable, inoffensive men—both are married men, the latter having a wife and three children—and both are members of the Methodist church, the former, it is said, a class leader. While the sympathy of the whole community is extended to the bereaved family of the deceased in their deep affliction, the sore distress and bitter agony experienced by Mr. Mills over the unfortunate occurrence, enlist for him the warmest feelings and commisseration. Mr. Platt, upon his death bed, exonerated Mr. Mills from all blame. The remains of Mr. Platt were taken to Milroy, in this county, where he formerly re sided, for interment. His funeral took place on Tuesday afternoon at 1 o'clock, from the Red Lion Hotel. The Logan Guards, Irwin Guards, Ring gold Infantry, Jackson Artillery, Belleville Fencibles, and Kishacoquillas Cavalry, ac companied the remains, and he was buried with the honors of war. P. S.—Since writing the above, Mr. Mills has been arrested by the civil authorities, but, upon a hearing before Judge Wilson, was permitted to enter into a recognizance for his appearance at November Court. DOMESTIC TaounLE.—Dr. Taney recently eloped with the wife of a Baptist deacon, in Knox county, Ohio. •She left'three children, one an infant. He left five. The day before they eloped, the Doctor took his wife and her infant on a visit to his brother's, told her not to come back until the next evening ; and that he would take good care of the other children in her absence.. When she came home he had been gone over fourteen hours, and the little ones were all in tears. The bereaved husband followed the Doctor and his wife to Huron co., where he found the woman pros trated with illness. Without a word of up braiding he stayed and nursed her back to life, then he talked with,her and the Doctor, and reasoned with them, and promised to forgive all, and hide the facts from the world. To his grief, however, he learned that his wife loved the Doctor. He therefore expressed his forgiveness to the recreant woman, and certified in writing that he gave her up on conditions that she would marry the object of her choice as soon as possible, and he would never molest them. Ho gave hex-5 . 150, wished the blessings of God would rest upon her, and then 14 r4tI4TIM to leis de§glato hearth. Terrible Sufferings on the Plains. News recently reached Fort Riley by two soldiers who came in on express duty from Fraifie log Creek, that two men who had started for Pike's Peak were lying in a starv ing condition at one of the distant, unoccupied stations of the late express company of Jones & Russell. The soldiers reported that if ade quate means were sent to their relief it was still possible that they might be found alive, although they were in a delirious and feeble condition. First Lieutenant Charles Griffin and two others were immediately dispatched with what limited means the Quarter-master at the post could furnish. The philanthropic mission reached its destination on the third day. Both father and son were found even in a worse condition than represented. They had been at the station eight days before they were relieved by the small quantity of tea, bacon; and bread that the sergeant who first discovered them could spare, who gave strict injunctions to eat very . sparingly, else, death would ensue—they being so weak that they could scarcely stand up without holding on to the door. It appears that they had lived on grass hoppers and mildewed corn, picked up from among the excrement -left by animals which had fed at the station. Providentially a few young shoots of corn were found to be spring ing up about the station, and a dried skull of a buffalo had been thrown aside. They caught from twenty to thirty grasshoppers every morning while the dew was still on the grass, until they became too faint to procure this scanty supply of food, which they had to husband, in order to make a stew of grass hopper, buffalo hide, and young corn stalks, in a small tin cup, to eat at night, to promote sleep and prevent delirium. Thus they sustained life until they obtained the cupful of tea, (about a quarter of a. pound,) two loaves of bread, and a pound or two of bacon, left by the sergeant. When found by Mr. Griffin they were too debilitated to be immediately moved. He accordingly left pri vate Machier to take care of them, and went on another day's ride to repair his wagon, which had broken at the camp at Prairie Dog Creek. The father states that his name is Mr. W. Frost, that •he is fifty years old, and that his son, Thomas Frost, who was with him, is seventeen years old, the eldest of six chil dren—the five others being left behind at Pottsville, Pennsylvania. He is a shoema ker by trade. He started with $lOO, having left $6O with his wife; he paid his fair to Leavenworth city, from whence he started on foot.—Manhattan (Kansas) Express. RE PETER CART IVRIGIIT.—This gentleman lectured in Harrisburg a short time ago. As his life is an eventful one, and some of the scenes quite interesting, we take occasion to publiSh the following interesting incident.— While there he created quite a sensation, and was admired for his frankness and open manners. The following will give a good idea of his character : " Shortly after the battle of New Orleans, a conference of Meth odist preachers was being held in Nashville, Tennessee. My old friend," says the author, "Peter Cartwright, was appointed to preach in one of the Churches on Sutiday,evening ; as he rose to announce his text, - there was a stir in the crowded congregation, and he paused until the excitement should subside. The pastor of the church took advantage of the opportunity to pull.the skirt of the preacher's coat, and admonish him in a whisper, broth er Cartwright, you must be careful how you preach to-night, Gen. Jackson has just come in.' In a loud tone, Cartwright replied What do you suppose I care for Gen. Jack son ; if he don't repent of his sins, and be lieve in the Lord Jesus Christ, he will die and be damned like any other sinner,' and then proceeded with his sermon. The next morning early, as the preacher passed the General's quarters, in his morning's stroll, a servant ran after him with the message that General Jackson wished to speak with him. Turning, his hand was grasped by the hero of New Orleans, who shook it heartily, say ing, 'sir, you are a man after my own heart ; if I had a regiment of men as brave as you, and you for the chaplain, I'd agree to con quer any country on earth.' They afterwards became intimate friends, and many hours were spent by the fearless pioneer preacher under the hospitable roof of the General."

The history of "IIOOFLAND'S -GERMAN BIT TERS," the most remarkable medicine of the day, and the many cures that have been performed with it in cases of LI VER 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 Iloofland'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 families. 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 aro sidr, and require a medicine, try these Bitters. These Bitters are prepared and sold by Dr. C. DI, 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. DI. Jackson is on the wrapper of each bottle. May 11, 1859—1 y. BRICICER'S . BRICKER'S J.
