OUR NEXT REPRESENTATIVE.
The Representative Convention for this
district met at Ridgewny,on the, ninth, and
on the 124th ballot nominated the Hone
A. S. ARNOLD, of. McKean. So it seems
McKean is in luck this time. Now, wo
think our county has a good right to com
plain. She has stood, and can stand a
good deal, but this is piling it on a little too
thick. Certain we are, that few ofher cit.
izens would thus net towards her sister
cpuntics ; and had it been her turn instead
or McKcan's to have the Representivo,
very certain are we also, that for one at
least, we wouldnot havo seriously urged
her claim to the Senator.
We shall nut attempt 'to say now• what
will be the result. Certainly there is more
dissatisfaction than we ever witnessed bp
fare,.and as next week will bo court, we
presume the pcople will got together and
&bide what course to take.
B. D. ElArauN, ESQ,.—This is the gen.
tloinan• selected by the Into district Con
vention; as the Democratic candidate to
represent the 18th Senatorial district in
the State Senate. Mr. 11amlin is a citizen
and member of the Bar, bfl‘l'Kean county,
and although quite young, is a gentleman
of excel lent c ha mete r and superior talents ;
and as a Democrat htipossesseethe entire
confidence of the party in that county. We
have no doubt Mr. H. will faithfully dis.
charge all.hiS duties ns a Senator.
OrDon't forget the meeting in the
Court House on next Tuesday evening.—
The Pierce and King Club have invited
Gov. BIGLER and Judge bi3IPBELL, who
arc expected to be present, and other dis
tinguished demacrats from a distance, to
say nothing of some of our Centre county
friends, who will address the Sterling De
mocracy of Clearfield.
DON'T BE FRIGHTENED ; DEMOCRATS.-.-
Thc election took place last Tuesday, in
Maine, and we now warn our Democratic
friends not to be alarmed at the news from
that State. The Democrats are running
two candidates for Governor and twocan
didates in two of the Congressional dis
tricts of that state, and will therefore be
badly beaten. This the whigs will claim
as favorable to Scott. But it will be no
such a thing. The Democrats there are
unit on the Presidential question s and will
give PIERCE and Krrro 10,000 majority,
and are only'divided now on , the temper

OcrOur Derhiierttic friends 'doWn the

Very well. We must put the best face
upon this business. We know that the'
Whig party has run its eareer—that it has
nothing more to do—that it isemberrassed,
and harrassed, and broken in body and
spirit, with the rank mutiny of Giddings
and the Whigs of the Western Reserve of
Ohio—with the all-pervading distrust of
Seward in the South—with the machine.
