The conferees from Perry cdunly voted for our respected townsmen, J. Elms Bonham, Esq., for Conqreßß. It may seem ejilllo Blrongo that Cum bcrlund county should have refused llio nomination when il was tendered her ; and when wo lake, into consideration tho tact that wo havo not had a mom her of Congress for tho last ten years.U appears «n(ab!o that wo should, aa a matter of choice, refuso to accept utv VVcll, il ta etrango. But, tho Democrats of old Mother Cumberland noted for their magnanimity—they aro clover to a fault. No difference what our claims may bo—no difference how much wo have boon imposed upon ( wo aro always ready to submit.

Wo aro always ready to ac knowledge tho claim* and the “rights” of oilier coun* lies, but wo novor think of our own.

No doubt our friends in this county would havo fell gratified could they havo had the privilege of supporting ono of thoir own sons for Congress, but then York wanted the man that was enough; Cumberland could not think of disputing the rights of another county. Well, we arc satisfied. Now that Cumberland has refuted the candidate for Congress, we hope eho may stick to her old habits, and work on for olAer counties. This is her destiny—let her work it out, and wo will help her to do it. Perry county—glorious little Per ry—offered us the candidate and wo rejected tho offer I Many thanks to you, daughter.

CONFER BE MEETING, In consrqunnco of iho absence of the Conferees of Perry county, al the first meeting, a second meeting took place at Bridgeport, on Tuesday, for the parpose of nominating a candidate for Con gress for this district. The three counties, Cum berland, Perry, and York, were represented in full, and the best of feeling prevailed. It will bo seen, by the proceedings in another column, that on first ballot, Hon. Wm. H. Kurtz, of York, was nomi nated for Congress, he having received ilie votes of the conferees of Cumberland and York. The Perry conferees, on first ballot, voted for our towns man, J. Ellis Bonham, Esq. Mr. Kurtz is there fore the regular nominee, and as such will receive the support of the Democracy of the entire district. He is a gentleman of sterling worth, and as firm a Democrat as can bo found in iho Slate.

This is another species of whig electloncrring, and shows how desperate ;lho action ofllio whig pirty has become. Tjio Republic will doubtless be ready to cry out that this isZuly anoth er “ hnu" which, being interpreted byJTho standard diet ion all or, means another “ fraud,” an/lher “ cheat,’ another " false pretences.” It is lo bo Imped, however, ihatiu this case no have been either really appended or nftpdff.

Tins mode of whig canvassing must of itsclfinsuro the election of Gen- lt ia a pfoss instill Jo iho intclliPiyiciL jaiul gets, and, as such, the prnple will regard and resent H. It results from and attests the old federal tendon, cy lo distrust and depreciate the character and un. derslanding of the masses of the people. COUNTKUPBITERS IN A TIGHT PLAGE Tho Philadelphia Ledger, of tho 3J inst., says Tho descent undo upon a nest of counterfeiters, in Montour County, a week or two ago, has success fully resulted in the nrrcsl of tho whole parly, loca -1 led ut, ond near Uio rendezvous. On Friday morn mg l.ist, ('apt. Dennct, with officers Mirklc nnd Hunting, again proceeded to that County. On Sat urday they arrived at Money, in Lycoming County, and arretted a notorious dealer in spurious money, named James Grass. They then proceeded to Lime stone Township, where they arrested Abraham tlausc, another noted character, who has been in tho business for about twenty five years past. Un iho bu mr day, and alt lie same place, they re arrested Dr. fJeltncr, who had been admitted lo bail, and also look into custody another old offender, named Lewis Jlauso, a son of Abraham House.— Tiicso parlies were all (aken before l/io nearest magistrate, wlm, after a hearing of (he case, deman ded biilin the s urn of $7OOO for Abraham Ilauso, $5OOO for his son l-cwis, and $3OOO for James Brass, in default of which they were alf committed. Tho officers succeeded in recovering tho plate wiiicii was stolen when the officers made (heir fust visit lo Dr. Gentler’* homo, and also a new plate $-1, of the Harrisburg Bank. Tho latter had not yet been issued, although several thousand dollars had) been pi in led, preparatory to signing. Tho specimen exhibited lo us was the most admirably ciocutcd note 1 that vvo have ever seen. It appears lo have been j worked upon a steel plate, and the engraving is of such a character as would reflect credit upon the modi expert workman. It is a Iruo copy of thoj genuine note. Upon tho right of it is (ho Goddess ol Liberty nnd American shield, also (ho Capitol at Harrisburg. ,’On the left is (he coast-of-arms of Penn- sylvania. Tho notes purport to have been engraved by Messrs. “ Diiiforlh, Bald,& Co., Philadelphia and Now Yoik.* 1 Tho notes ore printed upon excellent paper, and uro well calculated to deceive.
