DUTY OK THE OPPOSITION.
The harmonious proceeding with which
the campaign opened on Tuesday evening,
ou tlte part of those opposed to the patent
democracy, is a subject of general congrat
ulation, and affords strong evidence that
common prudence can do much towards
organizing and bringing into the field
an effective force. Some few things were
said by the speakers that might ]>erhap*
have been as well left unsaid, but as they
were only their individual opinions, they
must merely be taken as sueh. As a
whole, the meeting, both in numbers and
the standing of the men who composed it,
was undoubtedly one that has not often
been equalled, and this fact speaks in sig
nificant tones the feeling throughout the
county. Their recommendation to hold
township meeting on the loth instant, will
we hope be responded to in every district
by the people at large, and delegat - elec
ted who will come here, not bent 011 having
this man or that man nominated for office
without regard to the remainder of the
ticket, but with a determination to make
choice of those most likely to subserve the
ends in view. For our parr, we have but
little preference among those thus far
named, and -hall therefore cheerfully sup
port whoever may be fairly nominated.—
.Such a feeling we h ..pe also animates those
who have been announced as candidates—
lor as all cannot be elected, and if all should
run and thus divide the opposition, none,
fheir duty is to submit their claims to a
convention and abide by the result. Such
a course is a prelude to success—any other
to defeat.

WILMOT AND PACKER.
PACKER BACKING OUT !
Mr. Wilmot having resigned his judge
ship for the purpose of canvassing the
State, addressed the following letter to the
opposing candidate:
TOWAXDA, July 14, 1857.
HON. WM. F. PACKER:
Dear Sir —l propose to spend some time,
during the summer and fall, in canvassing
before the people of the State, the principles
and issues involved in the pending State elec
tion.
Party meetings bring out only that portion
of the people to whom the call is made, and
the addresses are necessarily all on one side,
whereas it is desirable that the whole people,
so far as may be, should have both sides
fairly presented before them at the same time.
If it should meet your views, I propose
that we canvass so much of the State as is
practicable, in company, addressing alternate
ly the same meetings. Should this meet your
assent, please to inform me at your earliest
convenience, so that we may arrange the
times and places of meeting, order of speak
ing, <fcc., <fec. Very respectfully your obedi
ent servant, DAVID WILMOT.
To this the following reply was received :
WILLI AM3PORT, Pa., July 27, 1557.
HON. D. WILMOT:
Dear Sir:—Your letter of the 14th inst.
was duly received; and as it prop sed a plan
for conducting the Gubernatorial Campaign
which had never hitherto been adopted in
Pennsylvania, and as the interests of other
candidates were involved in the result, 1 did
not feel at liberty to accede to your proposi
tion without first consulting the State Com
mittee to which the Democratic Convention
has on its part specially confided the control
and management of the canvass.
You will receive herewith a copy of my
letter to the Committee, as also their reply,
by which you will perceive that your sugges
tion does not meet their approval, and that,
for reasons stated at length, I ought not to
accede to your preposition. It is therefore
respectfully declined.
I atn, yours, truly, WM. F. PACKER.
It is pretty evident from this note, as
well as Mr. Ruck a lew's letter, referred to
by Mr. Packer, that the loeofoco leader.-
are not at all desirous of bringing the
thinking men and the bone and sinew of
their party under the sound of Judge
Wilmot's arguments, but vastly prefer to
call them together alone, and then under
the cloak of " democracy" cover up the
worst features of old federalism and anti
democratic practices diametrically oppose 1
to the principles of the Declaration of In
dependence and the legislation of the la
thers of our republic.
THE DEED FOR THE SALE OK THE
MAIN LINE BEAUTIFUL PIECE
OK WORKMANSHIP.
The last act of the drama, says the llar
risburg Telegraph of the 30th, was finally
executed this morning, by the signature of
A. G. Curtin, lvsrp, .Secretary of the Com
monwealth of Pennsylvania, to the deed
conveying the Main Line of Public Im
provements to the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company. These improvements, for which
the State has spent an enormous amount of
money, have finally pa-scd into the hands of
a company composed of the best business
men in the State, and it remains to be seen
whether they will be able to manage them
in such a manner JUS will reward the stock
holders Ibr their heavy investments. The
State having lost large amounts in their
management, we hope that the company
may meet with better success, and be am
ply repaid for their trouble.
The oOtli day of July may, therefore, be
hailed as a day of RELIEF by the taxpayers
of this great State. Their State debt has
virtually beet) reduced tlun dav tlie sum
of SEVEN MILLIONS ANI A HALF OF DOL
LARS; the Pennsylvania railroad having
paid that amount in cash and bonds
to the State Treasurer of Pennsylvania for
the works, and this money must be applied
immediately to the reduction of the State
debt—although the company does not pav
the whole amount of the purchase money
in cash, yet they will pay interest on their
bonds, consequently the people will be re
lieved from the payment of interest on the
State debt to that amount.
'J he deed as executed is written on parch
ment in a bold and plain hand, handsome
ly bound in Turkey morocco in folio form.
The book containing the deed, contains
also, a handsomely embellished title page,
decorated with a beautiful coat-of-urm.s and
other suitable devices; the act providing
fbr the sale of the Main Line; the procla
mation of the Governor offering the same
for side are also bound in the book, and fi
nally the receipts of the purchase money
and bonds to the amount of seven millions
and a half, signed by the proper account
ing officers, closes this pleasing drama.
Subsequently the Governor made proc
lamation of the fact, and from and after
Saturday last all the officers 011 the main
line were in the employ of the Railroad
Company. How long they will remain so
depends on their behaviour, as inefficiency,
neglect, drunkenness, dishonesty, and other
relicts of State management will no doubt
hereafter meet with a prompt reward in the
shape of a dismissal.

LOCAL AFFAIRS.
ENTHUSIASTIC GATHERING OF FREEMEN.
In pursuance of a call published in the
Gaeette, the Town Hall was completely
filled on Tuesday evening by the farmers,
mechanics and working men opposed to
the present National Administration —a
larger proportion being from the country
than has attended a county meeting for a
number of years. When the fact Is taken
into consideration that the civil list was
continued, and consequently hut few per
sons in town attending court, this evidence
of interest in political affairs speaks well
for the campaign. The meeting was or
ganized by the appointment of the follow
ing officers:
President,
ANDREW WATT.
Vice Presidents,
JOSEPH HAFFLY, of Union,
MATTHIAS NIECF., of M'Yeytown,
WM. SWART/., ESQ., of Lewistown,
SAMUEL LAIRD, of Wayne township,
JONATHAN SWAN KR.
Secretaries,
Charles S. M'Coy, W. F. Shaw.
The officers liaving taken their seats, the
following gentlemen were appointed a com
mittee to report resolutions for the consid-
elation of the meeting.
K. M. Kinsloe, Esq., James Barefoot,
John Davis, Win. ltissler, Kobt. Sterrett,
Jr., Samuel Watts, Win. Barr.
During the absence of the committee,
S. S. WOODS, Esq., scientifically dissected
the patent democracy, and exposed the
specious pleas under which the State has
been robbed and the taxpayers imposed
upon. At the conclusion of his speech,
which was greeted with repeated applause,
the Lewistown Baud, an association of
young men finely progressing in their play
ing, favored the meet in-r with music.
i The following resolutions were then read
j and unanimously adopted :
\V UEREAJ, A number of candidates hate
| been announced fi.r several of the offices to
i be tilled this fall, and this meeting regarding
■ a duplication of candidates in 0pp...-ition to
| the so called democratic ticket as suicidal to
| all concerned—therefore
Jl>'nolcc(J. That it be recommended to all
1 opposed to the present National Administra
j tion and to the county ticket mminatod by
; the patent democracy, to meet in their several
townships and through* en SATURDAY
AFTERNOON, August loth, Lv>7, at the
usual places fir holding delegate elections,
and elect two delegates from each district t*
assemble in convention at Lewistown an
Monday, liih August, for the purpose of
i forming a county ticket: and that all candi
; dates now announced, as well a those who
! may yet announce themselves, he and are
I hereby requested to submit their claims to
j said convention.
Jlf-solved, That wo endorse the sale of the
I Main Line of Public Works, and that in our
opini m the whole amount of the purchase
money ought to be faithfully appropriated
towards the extinguishment of the Public
Debt, and thus render certain a reduction of
State taxes.
Resoled, That we are opposed to any mea
sure ot legislation making a direct appropri
atioß, lending the credit of the State, or in
any wise assuming or guaranteeing the pay
ment of principal or interest, to the Suubury
an l Lrie Railroad Company, or any other
company engaged in the construction of works
of internal improvement—believing that there
is ample capital among private individuals to
construct all such works as are likely to be
come profitable.
j Rt.voiced, That we endorse the whole action
of our Representative in the last Legislature,
John Pureed!, Esq., and especially his vote
against appropriating three millions of the
people's mouey to the Sunbury and Erie
; Rai'road.
Re>dved, That the proceedings of this meet
-1 ing be published in the Lewistown tlalette,
i and that the editors of the Independent Press
be requested to copy tjie same.
A resolution was also adopted returning
! thanks to the officers, speakers and lland.
Thomas Stuart was next called upon ami
; addressed the meeting in an aide manner
on the necessity of cultivating good feelings
in the coming campaign, and assured his
, hearers that success would crown their
1 efforts if they pursued the path plainly
before them.
The Band again struck up whm the
meeting adjourned.
SHERIFF'S SALES. —The Sheriff dispos
ed of the following property, heretofore
advertised to be sold on Saturday hist :

BSifThe colored folks celebrated Eman
cipation day on the Ist instant by a pro
cession and dinner, which, with the excep
tion of a few noisy ones who were oa the
ground, passed off pleasantly.
DEMOCBATIC MEETING. —The cliickens
selected out of the flock on Saturday duly
arrived iu town on Monday morning, and
after sundry flappings of wings by the
" rooster" and cackling of the hens, pro
ceeded in the afternoon to the Town Hall
|to hatch the eggs that had been laid. Ihe
result proved to be the following:
j Assembly—i)r. Bower of Newton Ham
, ilton.
i Sheriff—Elliott Williams of Brown.
Register and Recorder —Jos. Wareain of
; Lewistown.
i Treasurer —John B. Selheimer of Lew
' istown.
Commissioner —John Cupples of Gran
ville.
Coroner —John McKee of Lewistown.
Auditor —Josepli Kearns.
Director of Poor from Borough—John
Stoneroad.
Isaiah Coplin, Esq., of Armagh town
ship, was appointed Delegate to the Dem
| ocratie State Convention to nominate a
' candidate for Canal Commissioner.
Robert 11. McClintic of" Lewistown, M.
! M. Faxon of McVeytown, and Dr. G. V.
j Mitchell, were appointed Conferees to se
| lect a Senatorial Delegate to the State Con
vention, and were recommended to urge
Col. J Kerr, of Brown township.
For the principal offices there had been
considerable contest at the delegate elec
tions. A. .V. Banks, who has lately set up
a faction on his own hook, ran an indepen
dent set in the Borough, but did not suc
i cecd iu securing any delegates. It is said
he had the promise of a vote from one of
the delegates elected, and that eight or
ten others from the country were prepared
to follow such a lead, bv. when the conven
tion met Alee had what the Irishman defi
ned " nothing' to be. a "bootless stocking
without u leg.' For Sheriff the contest
lay between Williams, Kyle, and Mitchell,
and resulted rather unexpectedly in favor
of the first named. The principal fight
however was for Treasurer, and we suspect
a considerable portion of the ticket owes
its origin to that bone of coi tntion be
tween Mayes and Selheiiuer. When an
nounced there were wry faces to be seen
in all directions.
In the evening the county meeting as
sembled. which, but for the attendance of
the oppo-ition who called in to see the fun,
would have been a slim affair. Being dulv
organized, and a committee appointed to
draft resolutions, Joseph Alexander pro
ceet Wd to deliver his exhortation. The
committee having returned, their resolu
tions were read, and then came the tug of
war by A. A. Banks offering a series con
demning the sale of the main line—oppo
sing a repeal of the tonnage tax —con-
demning an appmpiation of 000, OOP to
the Sunbury and Erie Railroad, and en
dorsing the decision of the Supreme Court
in the Bred Scott case. These ugly and
officious assumptions were also poked at
Dr. Bower, who was required to make
known his views on them.
Alec in offering them >aiil that the Sun
bury and Erie appropriation had been
passed by democratic votes, Simon Came
ron elected Senator in the same way, Ac.,
and for his part he wanted to know where
the democratic candidate stool 011 these
questions before lie was prepared to vote
for him.
.Joseph Alexander got into an analysis
of the matter pro and con, but rather op
jiosed their adoption.
lb. Mitchell at first favored them some
what, but finally steered against them.
•Jno. ih W eekes saw no impropriety in
adopting the resolutions, and did not feel
bound to vote for a man who would refuse
to make known his opinions on these sub
jects.
1,. J. Elberty went in for the Dr. as the
democratic nominee, and didn't care whe
ther lie himself to those resolu
tions or ..of. He was for taking him no-
Icns vohns.
Dr. Bedford said he was opposed to the
repeal of the tonnage tax, but could satisfy
any one that the appropriation to the Sun
bury and Erie Railroad would have been
to the advantage of the State.
Auditor General Ranks we take it was
on the fence, lie thought it might have
been as well if the resolutions had not
been offered, but as they had been offered
it might be as well to adopt them.
Mr. C op]in sate so many opposition paces
in the hall that he doubted whether a fair
vote could be taken without a division.
We were too unwell to be present, but
give the above outline as derived from
those there. All concur in the assertion
that it was one of the most amusing epi
sodes in democratic history tlint had occur
red for many years. When the vote was
taken, the ayes seemed to have it, and this
gave rise to the remark of Mr. Coplin
above. A dh is-ion having been called for
the faithful toed the mark, and the resolu
tions were sub. Hntially voted down ! The
" Banks faction, which seemed to have
allied itself with those who stick out for
robbing the State in the old-tashioneu way
by canal mismanagement, was thus left
high and dry, and unless it can find some
better hobby to ride, will grow " small by
degrees and beautifully less, as many of
their present adherents have too strong an
itching for the ruling faction to continue a
warfare with it.
Whether the ticket as fbrmed will meet
with the approbation of the people is a
question we leave with them to decide, as
! the candidates generally are well known in
i their respective localities, where those not
knowing them can make the proper inqui
ry. If such inquiry prove satisfactory, let
| them be voted for by their party friends—
i if not, they ought to know their duty with
out being reminded ol it.
ROBBERY. — Some scoundrel or scoun
drels broke into the dwelling Louse of J as.
S. Wallis on Valley street, on Sunday
morning last, while the family were at
church, broke open a trunk and took there
from $lO or sls worth of jewelry and $lO
|in money. Mr. W. it will be remembered
was burnt out last winter, losing nearly
• everything. The villain who would rob
such a family, would commit anything in
the catalogue of crimes.
COURT. — The civil iit having been con
tinued. the business before the court was
| nearly all of a criminal character —quite a
number of the fancy having been tucked
| up on charges for keeping disorderly hou
ses, assaults and jgitteries, &c. There have
been several convictions, one of whom, ,
1 Maria I logic, was yesterday sentenced to i
j three months imprisonment.
If onr neighbor of the Democrat looked into the Town
!1.V.1 on Tuesday evening,he probably sow what "leading
men" were on our side of the house —to wit, fanners, me
chanic.-, business, and laboring men. Wonder how he lik
ed them?
Horse AMD Rl:rr. Killed.— A few days ago, a boy named
Kelly undertook to ride a Mind h<--,* in a -i rub race on
the Metallic course at New Orleans, but when half way
rouu 1, the horse bolted through the pick t fence, killing
both himsHf and his rider.
A Lettha.vd C"MPl:>:est.—At the late celeb-at ton in Ke
okuk, lowa, one of tie- speakers remarked, that " when he
landed la Keokuk, in 1537, it was a VEST or piraTi:-," and
directly afterwards aided, " Keokuk lias held her own re
markably well for twenty years past."
Eoulke A Itrother liave commenced the publication of a
new paper at Tain- una, Schuylkill county, called th-- Dem

a - iincwliat slgnln.-ant fact, as a Backer paper lately died
tliere.
M'e should think voting down resolutions was the best
evidence in the world of opiiositiou to them, but a writer
in the Democrat Intimates that the democracy are s >r in
favor of appropriating to the Punbury £ trie It.
11., notwithstanding a considerable majority voted down a
resolution to that effect on Tuesday evening.
The "Big Sarpent** of the Standard thinks our suggestion
as to HOOltlxu cherries, turkeys, Ac. very poo-!, but says
that unfortunately they are all gone. The next best thing
we can suggest, in case the waters ever get clear, will be to
make an appointment to meet us at Huntingdon, get the
editors there—at their expense of course—to drive us up
Stone creek, an I then and there ascertain whether pike
are as plenty as repute 1. Will that do?

Holhnroy's Pals. —Depression of spirits
and a di>p isition to look on the gloomiest
side of every subject are mental affections
born of bodily ailments. The condition of
the stomach has much to do with the action
of the brain, and hence dyspepsia not unfre
quently leads to confirmed melancholy, mad
ness and (sometimes) suicide. If Ilolltway's
Pills were universally administered for di
seases of the digestive organs, these sad con
sequences would never ensue. That tiioy are
prevented in thousands of instances L. the
use of that incomparable restorative is beyond
all question, and it is strange that with this
fact before the world, and supported as it is
by volumes of testimony, any dyspeptic who
can read should risk a danger so easily obvi
ated.
Valuable Properiyfor Sale.— Capitalists or i
others desirous of making an investment in
property which must annually increase in !
value, are referred to the sale advertised to !
take place at the court house in Wiliiamsport
on the 19th of August. The tract comprises
660 acres, 200 of which are cleared and under

There are also a saw mill, five good dwelling
