But} •in so doing, we wish it to be distinctly understood that we dissent in tolo from, the letter and spirit of the resolutions. - Wo still believe, and every day's information confirms us more fully in the .belief, that Gpy. Porter is decidedly the strongest njaa lbat could be nominated by the Fourth of March Convention —and ihe-only one,-pbriiap6, lliat we could be certain of cleclingat the present juncture, Should ho recoiv&tho nomination, of which there can bo but little doubt, wo trust and hope that every good ,dciT»ocTjjt-in Cumberland county, no matter what : his personal predilections may be, will at once lay bis should* r to the wheel, ami aid in saving the Stale from fulling into tiiehunds of the Federalists. The present is no time to dispute about men.— The Democracy of Pennsylvania go for .measures, and whoever is Selected for their standard hearer should meet with the mostcordiul nnd'iieuriy sup port of every democrat. • CENSUS OF CUMBEULAND COUNTY'.

They were taken from under (he ruins.dreadfully scalded and wounded. Grant had each of his legs and one of his thighs broken, anti Ins arms liter , ally flayed. . Mr. Moore at the time of the accident was standing outside of the.building, and was sevorelly injured by one of the falling frag ment's, width struck him on the head and knocked him down, causing a slight fracture of the skull and a violent concussion of the brain. Jits recovery was. considered doubt ful, and Garsldcs and Grant particularly, it was believed,-could' : not possibly survive. The scene of the terrible disaster is such, a one as has been rarely witnessed. The demolished Factoiy is situated between Ed ward, School, William and Lydia atreots, fronting on Lydia street near the corner School. There were two other boilers in addition to thceneJliat hurs.tcd, all in the basement story. The boiler Which exploded was thrown into tlrti air about 100 feet, and in its descent changing its direction, was sent end foremost against the back wall of a double brick bouse adjoining, making a full passage through the wall, oneor two feet a hove the line of the second, story, bemg for ced aome.distance across_ the. flour of, a :.bcd room, knocking away a staircase, and shat tering pieces pflathing, plasleringand bricks upon a bed.
