JAMES \ EECII, ol Fa} ette County. iUJJTI r iiSr/JJ3 The citizens of Mifflin coantv opposed to the present National Administration, and in favor of concentrating their strength in tht nest State and County election, are requested to meet in the T.,wn iLtll, Lewis town, on Tuesday evening. August 4.1857 to adopt such measures a- mav lx* deemed expedient to further that end. AN e commend the call published above to all opponents of* the canal democracy trusting that each and every one who can make it convenient will attend and partici pate iri the proceedings, so that a fair and impartial expression of*public opinion car be obtained as t> the proper course to be pursued at the ensuing election. The question is not now whether we shall raliv under the name of Americans or Repub licans but whether the opponents of the present National Administration shall pre —nt an undivided front to those who art the {tolitieal enemic- of both ' That this is essential to success, no sane man we pre sume will doubt, for where the vote is as c! >-e a- it ha- generally been in this coun ty, a division in either party i- equivalent to h teat. The -aine thing mav also be said of the State, and although we have several times referred to the vote la.-t vear, we re-publish it, so that <>ur readers can judge for them-elvcs : I' iiian r.'cei". .1 ' "'t.

Now, if our friends in this county to defeat * Packer, their <- mr.se is plain enough—if' not. it is equally plain. In this county, the canal democracy i by no means united or hariuonious. The name- of office seeker- and expectants arc 1 --.'son, arid a- the mean- of rewarding th -werviug with crumb- of coin fort from the public Work- are at an end, there will be a more general scramble for place.-than ever, more disappointments, and more discontent. t if th;- -tate of affair- the opju.-ition can profit if they will, by exercising harmony and good feelings. This we know is the prevailing sentiment, -till here and there tho-e are to be found who, looking at ]>o litical affairs wit.ii one <">e otilv, profess to de.-ir<- neither union m.r -ucec--. They do not anticipate that their peculiar idea.- will ever become dominant—tliey do not look, at least in their life-tiiue, to do wore than make an ineffectual resistance t0t..0- who hate and d—pr-e them— yet, because others do no r -ee with the same vision exactly, they wii l icf upon the principle that notlu tutj i- letter than hai.k a i.oak. In a county where a hundred votes will decide aliiio-t. any election, a few such in each dis trict an- enough to distract a partv and cause its defeat. \\ e hope however in the ensuing contest for better thiics than idle feud-, for \.e must eonfes- we liould fi.-.i loth to embark in the campaign at all unle.-.- we can do so with a fair field to work in. By a general attendance of the leading men from the several districts, the county meeting will show what the feeling is— what difference- of opinion are to be rec onciled—and w hat course w ill be most like ly to ensure success.

Tlot District Attorney Ca<". —We learn from the Philadelphia Bulletin of Saturday that the court on that morning gave their final decision in the ease of the contested election for D.-trict Attorney, declaring that Mr. Mann was elected. This decision must lead to curious results. Mr. CassiJv has hitherto belv the office by virtue ef his cer tificate of election, which is now annulled.— Mr. Maun wo ■ is now declared to have been legady elected, is also District Attorney by appointment of the C< urt. under the new law passed last winter. Mr. Cassidy is. therefore, out ut office, unless toe C' urt should appoint him as they lately appointed Mr. Mann. We hesitate not to declare, continues the Bulletin, that the election of October, cow declare ! fraudulent, was the means of Bu chanan's success. If the Opposition had car ri-d the city in Oct ter, there would not have been a shadow of chance fur Mr. Buchanan. His party had been completely demoralized by the results in Maine and I..wa, and a de feat in Pennsylvania in October, would have been lutal to Lis prospects. It was the con sciousness of this thai made the party leaders determine to carry the city, by foul means ot fair. By a system 01 fraud?, the most fiu grant ever witnessed, a Democratic uiaioritv was figured up, and from that moment the Democrats felt sure of the State fur Buchan an. It is lamentable enough to see a single t ffice obtained by such villainous means as those exposed by the € urt; but in this cas. the whole policy of the country was control led by the frauds that were committed; i great and powerful party was defeated, am. a man was chosen President of the I'nitec States who could nt po.--kil.ly have succeeded except through the frauds Committed hy hit supporters in Philadelphia, at the Uetobei election. Mr. Buchanan has to thank th< inefficiency of the Pennsylvania election law and the very deliberate process of justice, foj the seat he now holds as President - t the baited Stales. C uld the wrongs committee have been exposed and proved at the time wc fir-t declared them, .John C. I rem ?nt would now have been the President of the United States. Independent in tc>:rythiatj-Seutral in noth my. The editor of the Clinton Dem crat in a good -h u mured notice of the new edit >r here, says truly that this motto is an "absarc pretension; ridiculous ami foolish." This i.- our opinion -t.'-o, arid w3 can as*urc our young neighbors frm experience, that tin best thing they can do is to harp a? little a po-sibie on motto*, but to devote t!i-1r cntirt attention t. making a readable paper. Th ome ; r exercising "ind>*p. -ndence will com* Soon enough, and occasions arise for thread ing the sinuous paths ,t "'neutral in : thing,' without courting them. As an i:.stance i> this, \\e may state that years ago, when con nected with a neutral paper, a simple notict had the effect ( .f induciiig two per-un -, one ; wiiig, the other a democrat, to stop their pa per.*, because each aIL-ge-1 that we had favor ed the oth-r party. young man named Malcolm Koesh of Elizabeth Furnace, Blair county, had hit head cut off by the fast line above Altuons on .Saturday evening.

A llud t'> J'ddiri'tns. —During political campaigns, says the Lebanon Courier, politi cians spend money in circulating electioneer ing documents broadcast over the country for the purpose of making converts to their cause; but frequently without much -uccess. Were they to aid in putting a good paper of their party into the hands of voters, they would render much more efficient service to their cause. Newspapers will he read, where long electioneering documents will not. LOCAL AFFAIRS. The improvement made ly Abraham Blymyer, Esq., in altering his store and resi dence t • an opeti front, is a subject of general commendation for its neat workmanship aud elegant appearance. The wood work is of black walnut, highly finished and ornament ed, the windows of large plate glass, and the side-lights at the door stained glass. The door is ifa different style fr m anv hitherto made here, and it. as well as all the other wi rk, reflects much credit on the skill of Wm. Keller, who completed the job. The whole improvement e< st nearly SSOO, and to those wh . d' iire to keep pace with the age we live in n building, is well worth a visit and ex amination. 1 wo ladies of this place have suffered considerably from injuries lately received by tails. The lady of Gt n Irwin a few weeks ago, while engaged in the yard of her resi dence, slipped a ladder and so severely sprained her ancle as to confine her to bed fur several days. More recently, the lady of Jeruian Jacob. Esq.. tread on a loose st . -ne. which threw her back with violence, painfully injuring her spine, from the effects of which she has also been e-tnfin- ! tj bed. J) maca/ic Count'/ Cattention. —The faith ful, which we believe includes all who swear by the canal, are requested to assemble in district meetings on Saturday, August Ist, an l elect delegates to the annua! pow-wow on the Monday f1 lowing. There is c nsiderable scrambling going on for r. minati re, but appearances indicate that Geo. W. Mack I'm of McVeytowu will be the n mince for As sembly; Thomas Mayes for Treasurer; and J s. S.

LAVING OF A CORNER STONF..— I'roTidence permitting, the corner st me fsfthe proj sed German Reformed Church wili b* laid in this place, on Friday, July 24th, at 2 o'clock p. m. The brethren and -isters of that and other denominations are cordially invited to be present on the occasion and participate in the i exercises. oPJ,wTiie wheat crop in this county is t 1- erably fair as to quantity, but in quality will hardly compare with former y- ir>. the wevil, ru-t and mildew having injured it in m -t of the ti: ids in this neighborhood, and probably through the county. Ihe ltellefonte Whig says that Mr. J hn lleck, late of Marion township. Centre county, has m- t wi:h an untim ly death In Kansas, whither he went some six < r eight weeks age, having L-en shot in an affray un the 4th of July. Should n<>( Ki;/ht HI a lioat. —Two men were drowned in Whitem<-re Lake, Michigan, on the 4th. In company with their wives and a little giri, they were sailing jn the lake, when an altercation ensued; the- men clinch ed, in the struggle upset the boat, and they fought in the water until both sank. The women and tlm little girl were saved by cling ing to the boat until rescued. An Italian burglar shot a police officer in New York on Tuesday morning. Ander son, the officer killed, was formerly a butcher, and when the murd-r became known among the butchers, a terrible excitement ensued. They attempted to get possession of the pris oner, and determined to hang him to a lamp post. The police finally succeeded in safely lodging him in prison. Suicide. —The Juniata Sentinel says that a young man, about 19 years of age, named Absalom Wind, committed -uieide one day last week by hanging himself. He was in the employ of Mr Win. Miller, of Milford township, Juniata county. lie had been in the habit of sleeping in a building originally built for a school house, but lately fitted up for a sleeping apartment. In the evening he was in his u.-ual good spirits, and appeared to have no trouble on his mind whatever. Being an early riser, and not appearing at breakfast, a little girl was sent to waken him, when she discovered him on the Second torv dead. No cause is assigned for this rash aet. His parents, we believe, reside near Ickesburg, Perry county. rder, Arson, and Attempted Suicide, • iNci n\ ATI, July 21.—This morning a German, named Kolder, strangled his wife, and afterwards proceeded to the residence of Mr. Nicholas T. Horton, a respectab! and influential citizen, and senior partner of the firm of Messrs. liorton fc Macey, set fire to the building and stabbed Mr. liorton, killing him instantly! lie then cut his own throat. Kohler lias been in the employ of Mr. II >rtoii; and the supposed reason fot the act, was a reprimand which ho received from Mr. 11. for abusing his wife. NEW HAVEN, July 21. —There was a suc cession of severe thunder storms in this vi cinity this morning. The dwelling house of Asa Iloyt was struck by the lightning that followed, and four sleeping apartments were badly shattered. Nine of the inmates were killed. A late tire in I tiea raped for four hours, destroying the main buildiDg of the Asylum. Tin re were five hundred patients in the build ing when the fire broke out, but they were removed to an adjoining grove, and a guard of military and citizeus placed around them to prevent their escape in the excitement. — The origin of the fire is not explained, but it is said that one of the chimneys had been on fire, and that a spark from that may have caught the wood work. The west wing was saved and the east but slightly damaged.— The I'tiea Asylum was a State Institution, and has cost the State since 183(5 quite half a million of dollars, besides the local and per sonal expenses incurred for inmates. The counties support their own patients at a week ly average cost of $3 90 for each person. — The State has recently appropriated about £70,000 fur repairs upon the building. Foreign News.
