HON. JAMES T. HALE.
We this week place at the head of our
paper, with the able State Ticket recently
nominated, the name of Hon. JAS. T.
HALE as our choice for Congress. We
have taken occasion heretofore to avow our
preference for that gentleman for other
posts, and it is therefore not necessary to
say ought respecting him further than that
we believe him to be, most emphatically,
the best man in the district to represent us
in Congress. The evils predicted by the
illustrious <'lay as the result of the present
tariff are coming upon the working classes
and others of moderate means with fearful
strides, and the end is not yet. Labor is
not only going down to that standard which
Mr. Buchanan said would be a blessing to
this country, but employment, even at redu
ced wages, is no longer to be bad for more
than half the time. For this there is a
remedy—but that remedy will never be ob
tained so long as we send such men as Al
lison White —men who regard party and
devotion to those in power more than coun
try —to Congress. For our part, we go for
protection to American labor, if necessary
" Protection for the sake of Protection,''
and with Thomas Jefferson have often
wished that a sea of fire divided us from
Europe, with its aristocracy and its pauper
labor. Let the farmer, the mechanic, the !
laborer, and all others, before the excitement i
of an election comes on, reflect on the pres
ent condition of affairs and ask themselves
whether British cloths and cassinieres,
British cotton fabrics, British hardware,
British iron, British water pipes, British
coal, and thousands of other things we ;
ought to make ourselves, fur all which we j
have sent them an untold amount of Cal- !
ifornia gold, has not had something, or per
haps all, to do with this extraordinary state
of things ?
Prentice's Jokes. —The follow ing are ta
ken from one column of the Louisville
Journal:
James G. Jameson, nephew of Ex President
Pierce, cut his throat with a razor and died,
in Boston, on Thursday.— Exchange.
We really do not think there was sufficient
•reason for the young man to cut his throat.
He might have removed to a foreign. country,
where his relationship to Ex President Pierce
would never have been known.
The Cairo papers say that Cairo will he
entirely restored in a few months. It will be
the most wonderful instance on record of the
restoration of a drowned subject.
Col. Drinkhard is acting Secretary of War
in the absence of Secretary Floyd. Too man v
of that family are in office these days.
The Washington Lnion boasts that the af
fairs of the Government are going on like
clockwork. Oh yes, they are going on— tick
tick, lick.
When a constituency elect such a man as
Bill English to Congress, they undertake to
pass him at more than his value. lie is "a
raised Bill."

■Gft-lhe Royal Democratic Bulletins an
nounce that His Serene Highness President
Buchanan, with two of Queen Vic's subjects,
Lir Gore Ousley and daughter, have gone to
Bedford Springs.
®-The Democrat wants to creep out of
the British water pipes by alleging that the
contract was given to an American, but for
gets to state that in the time specified they
could not have been made in this country a
fact the government must have well known.
he People's Convention at Ilarrisburg
required pledges from the candidates for the
Legislature that they would not vote for a
repeal of tbe tonnage tux. A more sensible
pledge, in our opinion, would have been to
require them to advocate an adjournment sine
die on tbe second day of their meeting.
Re-nomination of Dr. Bower—Lecompton
and Free Whiskey Endorsed —Giving
away of the Public Works to the Sun
bury and Erie Railroad Approved —
3200 Extra Pay all Right.
The "democratic" delegate elections were
held on Saturday afternoon, but excited
little interest, many democrats being un
willing to pledge themselves to a support
of the ticket by taking part. On Monday
the Convention met and proceeded to ratify
the programme laid down by a few rem
nants of the State ditch who, from appear
ances, seemed to have the management of
" democracy" in general and "ten cents a
day" in particular. Dr. Bower, with a bag
full of sins, among which the free whiskey
bill, poor house bill, giving away of the
public works to the Sunbury and Erie rail
road bill, were conspicuous, was swallowed
without a wry face, and professed anti-Le
compton men unblushingly voted for Le
compton resolutions merely to please the
powers that be.
WILL THE PEOPLE RATIFY THIS NOMI
NATION AT THE BALLOT-BOX ?
During the campaign last year he autho
rised the Democrat and a number of indi
viduals to say that he was opposed in toto
to granting the credit of the State in any
shape to the Sunbury and Erie Railroad
Company, [see Democrat, Sept. 10, 1858,]
yet Dr. Bower voted to give this company
the remaining public works for one-half
their actual value and the credit of the
State with them! What confidence can be
placed in any of his pledges hereafter by
those who voted for him then under a be
lief that lie was acting in good faith?
How can any man who deplores the evils
of intemperance —who sees springing up
in all quarters a fearful increase of places
for the sale of liquor —who sees flic evi
dence of drunkenness and its terrible phan
tom, mania-a-potu, making rapid strides
towards quadrupling their victims under
the free whiskey bill—vote for Dr. Bower,
when he knows that he aided in its passage?
Yet, such is the recorded fact.
How can any one reconcile Dr. Bower's
course with honest legislation in the part
he took relative to the poor house bill—
representing that there was but little or no
opposition to it, and actually soliciting sig
natures to a petition himself ? Who ever
heard of such a representative before ?
l>r. Bower voted for the militia bill tax
ing every able bodied man between 21 and
45 fifty cents, which, when enforced, as it
no doubt will be, will amount to an enor
mous tax in the State. Laboring men and
others who earn their money by hard work,
will feel the effects of this law before an
other year goes round, for military officers
are instructed to see it all collected.
On the Bank question Dr. Bower is ru
mored to have been all around it—voting
tor and electioneering against it at the same
time.
| Dr. Bower voted for and took S2OO
| extra pay, making 8700 for the session,
although the democratic party had pre
viously denounced 8500 as an extravagant
J n
sum.
Now, of what use is such a representa
tive in the Legislature? What vote has
he recorded of benefit to the people at
large? The above are his principal acts
—let the record speak.
In the evening a county meeting was
held in the Town Ilall which didn't adjourn
out of doors for want of room, and as usual
was presided over by " The ayes have it,"
and addressed by Ephraim Banks on the
subject of democ-crazy.
The ticket nominated is as follows:
Assembly —1 >r. C'hafles Bowei*.
Commissioner—Charles Naganey, of Ar
magh.
Coroner—George Miller.
Auditor—John Shadlc of Brown.
Quite Right. —The Danbury Times says
that a woman who lias been divorced from
her husband on account of his drinking pro
pensities and consequent cruelty, married him
again on his reformation during the great re
vival. But the husband fell iuto his old hab
its, and a short time ago, in a fit of intoxica
tion, returned to the house of the woman he
had twice married, and committed to tho
flames every article of her wearing apparel
upon which he could lay his hand. For the
betrayal of her trust in this and other acts,
sho now positively declares that she will nmr
marry him again.
Prof. Wood's Hair Restorative. — For the
year past we have been advertising the above
named Ilair Restorative, and month by month
its sale has graduully increased, until it now
commands a more ready sale than any other
article of its kind, giving in almost every in
stance entire satisfaction. A clergyman, res
ident in a neighboring town, who had for
years suffered from a burning sensation in
the head, with an occasionally dry, itching
humor, which prematurely turned the hair
gray, and latterly causing it to come off rap
idly, leaving the crown nearly bare, seeing
the advertisement of the article in the Gazette
was induced to try it, and now, after the use
of two bottles only, his hair has turned quite
dark and is very s>ft, the scalp clean, and the
recently bald spots covered with a beautiful
growth of silky dark hair, the sight of which,
with his commendation of the Restorative,
will command an increased sale. We would
state to any who wish to know that we are
permitted privately, to give the name of the
individual to whose case we refer.—RocklnnJ
{Me.) Gazette. (See advertisement.)
FORNEY AND THE TARIFF.
The Philadelphia Press of Thursday
contains a long article on the present finan
cial condition of the government, and in
view of the large appropriations by Con
gress, amounting to more than eighty mil
lions for this year, says :
' The facts herein set forth sufficiently in
dicate that something must be done to increase
the Federal revenues, at the earliest moment;
and in taking this unavoidable remedial step,
it is no less clear that the most liberal encour
agement should be extended to American in
dustry. Not only is the Government rush
ing into bankruptcy, with no hspeof a speedy
chauge for the bctterby the natural course of
events, but in every part of our State and
country labor is unemployed, and almost in
despair. A recent visit to the interior of
Pennsylvania has convinced us that the worst
accounts of destitution amoDg the sons of
toil have not been exaggerated. The best
hands can be had at fifty cents a day in the
harvest field, and those who last year easily
earned a dollar aud a half per diem aro now
glad to work for one third the amount.—
Meanwhile, in the departments of skilled la
bor everything is dull. Manufacturers are
compelled to reduce their force or to suspend
operations entirely. Furnaces are closed,
forges stand still, the coal trade is stagnated,
aud general apathy prevails. Those who
have capital refuse to invest it until some
thing is dona to stimulate business. Those
who have no capital are in the greatest un
certainty as to the future.
" We do not stop to canvass the causes of
this condition of things. The necessity is
imminent and immediate; and should he met
by instant action. We know that the theory
of individual enterprise, in all such cases as
the present, is generally the best. Govern
ment cannot be expected to provide every
man a livelihood. IJut an extreme and ex
ceptional case like the present requires ex
ceptional and vigorous action. Our people
have passed through a year of unexampled
suffering. Great fortunes have melted away
in an hour, and the rich man of yesterday is
to day abject and poor. A system of the
most stringent economy has failed to relieve
the public distress. Millions are in need of
work (and that is bread) who have always
been economical and never wasteful. There
seems to us but one way to awaken the dor
mant energies of our people and to quicken
the sluggish vitalities of trade. The Govern
ment wants money to conduct its operations
and to pay its debts. Let this be raised by
such a revenue law as will extend the am
plest encouragement to manufactures, and
thus attract capital once more from its hiding
places, aud feed the thousands who at this
moment barely contrive to eke out a misera
ble existence. It is to be regretted that the
President did not, last December, anticipate
the present extraordinary condition of the
public finances by reiterating in his message
his cherished views on the general subject of
incidental protection ; but the time is at hand
when action is demanded by the people, and
ought to be, and will be, granted by their
servants."
If Forney expects to get any protection
out of the Buchanans, liiglers, Jones's,
\\ hites, A his ami others who figured so
conspicuously in attempts to make Kansas
a slave state, he will find himself mistaken.
The only way to obtain FAIR AND PERMA
NENT PROTECTION for the iron and other
manufacturing interests of Pennsylvania,
is to elect men holding such views and leav
ing all doughfaces at home.
Scarce—Bank notes.
l'lenty—Counterfeit Detectors.
Plenty as blackberries—Jour printers.

tarv ice President Breckinridge made a
speech at Florence, Kentucky, recently, in
which lie entered upon a general review of
national politics. He defended the adminis

appeal to the Know-nothings to refrain from
affiliation with the Republican party.
A Doctor Tarred and Feathered.—A
physician in Woodna, Orange county, N.
V., being charged with neglecting his
family and paying too much attention to a
fair widow, was subjected recently to rough i
usage by some self-constituted dispensers
of justice in that neighborhood. He was
ducked in a pond, and then enveloped in a
coat of tar and feathers, hoisted on a rail,
and escorted from town, while the perpe
trators of the deed, principally laborers of
the town, were rewarded, it is said, with
the cheers and smiles of their wives and
daughters.
LOCAL AFFAIRS.
OPPOSITION COUNTY MEETlNG.—Not
withstanding the heavy rain on Tuesday
evening, the friends of a proper tariff and
opponents of Buchananism assembled in
considerable numbers in the Town Hall.
THOMAS REED of Derry was called to
the Chair; JOHN WALTERS, Esq. of Mc-
Yeytown, JACOB LINTIIURST, Esq., of Ar
magh, AMOS HOOT of Lewistown, and
JOHN MILLER of Decatur, appointed Vice
Presidents, and A. F. Gibboney and Geo.
W. Soult Secretaries.
On motion, George Frysinger, John
Purcell, G. W. Crissinan, Holmes Maclay,
and G. W. l'atjton were appointed a com
mittee on resolutions, who subsequently re
ported the following, which were unani
mously adopted :
WHEREAS, The departure of the Buchanan
administration from all previous democratic
precedent, and its alliance with principles at
war with the fundamental institutions of our
country —its promulgation of new doctrines
respecting the powers of Congress over terri
tories—its interlerence with the elective fran
chise in shaping the form of government for
the residents of those territories, when it
ought to have been left to their free and un
biased judgment—together with many other
acts wanting all those features of patriotism
which have heretofore, at least in great part,
distinguished our National Administrations
without respect to party —call for the united
opposition of all who look upon such acts,
coupled with a wasteful and extravagant ex
penditure of the public money, as contrary
to the spirit of our institutions, and the pre
cursors to still greater and mure shameful
misrule: Therefore,
Ist, Be it Resolved, That the administration
of James Buchanan is unworthy of the con
fideuce of the American people, and deserving
the censure of all good citizens who desire to
restore our government to economical habits
and its rulers to dependence on popular will.
2. Resolved, That the doctrine of Protection
is essentially democratic, and the only safe
guard to the laboring man for future prosper
ity. Destroy manufacturing interests and
you destroy labor—import more than you
export, thus encouraging foreign nations to
the detriment of our own, and you drain vour
country of its gold and silver, the only true
foundations for a circulating medium. In
proof of this, we ask you to look around aud
judge for yourselves.
3. Re.iolred, That Allison White, the mem
ber of Congress from this district, by his col
lusion in attempts to impose a shameful ini
quity on the people of Kansas, has foully
misrepresented the voters of this district; and,
while we have no fault to find with our South
i ern brethren for endeavoring to extend their
! "peculiar institution," we cannot refrain from
j saying tnat we look upon a northern dough
face as more fit for a Southern slave than a
northern freeman.
4. Resolved, That the Convention which
nominated Dr. Bower for the Legislature,
having placed him before the people as a Le
comptondemocrat, that sin alone, independent
of his numerous ones in the Legislature, ought
to be sufficient to induce the people to give
him leave to stay at home and practice physic
under the new poor law.
5. Resolved, That having every confidence
in the honesty, integrity, ability and unwav
ering firmness of Hon. JAMES T. IIAI.E, of
Centre county, and believing him to be pecu
liarly adapted to represent the wishes of this
district as respects a tariff and the general
policy of our government, we recommend him
to the People's Conferee meeting as the most
euitable candidate for Congress.
6. Resolved, That the course pursued by
the Hon. Simen Cameron in the United States ;
Senate, in upholding and defending the inter- i
ests of Pennsylvania, was such as entitle him j
to that praise the people are ever ready to j
award to a faithful public servant who regards !
power and place *6 subservient to their wishes. '
7. Resolved . That L. E. Locke, Geo. W.
Elder, and George Frysinger are hereby ap- j
pointed Congressional Conferees, and that we
recommend the Conferee meeting be held at
Williamsport on Tuesday, September 7th.
8. Resolved, That the citizens of this coun- j
ty opposed to the Buchanan administration
and its supporters, be requested to assemble '
at their usual places for holding such elections j
on Saturday afternoon, August 21st, between 1
the hours of 2 and 4 p. m., and elect two del- ;
agates from each district to meet in County '
Convention, at Lewistown, on the Monday '
following, to nominate a county ticket.
During the absence of the committee,
Geo. \Y. Elder, Esq. was called upon to
make some remarks, and responded in his
usual pertinent manner. Mr. E. closed by
introducing lion. Jas. T. Hale, who deliv
ered an able speech, replete with facts and
sound argument, on the necessity of foster
ing American industry. Just as Mr Hale
closed, Hon. A. G. Curtin was announced
and addressed the audience for half an
hour, during which he contrasted Buchan
an democracy, traveling about with British
lords and ladies, with democracy as it used
to be. These speeches were frequently
applauded.
CAMP MEETING. —There will be a camp
| meeting held for the Kishaccnjuillas Circuit
on the ground occupied for said purpose
last year, near lieedsville, commencing on
the 27th instant, to which a cordial invita
tion is extended, by Rev. B. P. King, " to
friends of adjoining circuits to come and
tent with us." To those wanting accom
modations on the ground, their wants will
be amply provided for at the boarding tent
which will be kept by Messrs. Cornelius
Burlew aud William Bell. Horse teed can
also be had on the ground, according to
arrangement. Members of the M. E.
Church who have their own sleeping ar
rangements will be boarded at 20 cents per
meal.

learnt.
CELEBRATION.—The colored population
had an unpleasant day on Monday, which
prevented them from visiting the spot where
they designed to spend the day in com
memoration of British Emancipation.—
The Cummings warehouse was however ob
tained, and everything passed off in an
agreeable manner. Addresses were deliv
ered by Messrs. Glasgow, Lee and Griffith,
all of whom acquitted themselves in a cred
itable manner.
Henderson Hose Company ap
peared on the street on Saturday with their
new carriage. It is a handsome machine,
well and substantially built with the excep
tion of the springs, which are we fear too
light for the hose. The reel, by some
strange oversight, is also defective, not run
ning true by at least an inch. This, how
ever, we presume can be easily remedied.
ACCIDENTS. —Several boys have been
somewhat hurt of late by falling from hay
mows and other places, though none seri
ously. A sou of Mr. Zerbe's bad his col
lar bone broken, and one of J. B, Selhei

A healthy stomach generates pure blood, and
pure blood is the basis of a vigorous vitality.
To keep the digestive apparatus in a healthful
condition and the blood free from taint, it is
only necessary to purge the system occasion
ally with this great compound curative, which
is at pnee a tonic, a disinfectant and an aperi
ent. By pursuing this course, instead of the
opposite one of neglecting the premonitions
of nature, life may be prolonged many years
beyond the period at which it would otherwise
terminate. In a climate as variable and as
subject to extremes of heat and cold as that
of this and Canada, it is of the greatest im
portance to keep the stomach and bowels in
perfect order.

WASHINGTON, D. C., May 18, 1850.
Dr. Geo. B. Green, —Dear Sir—The Oxyge

remedies, but never met with any so good us
your Bitters. lam now in the enjoyment of
good health, and I hope, and believe, that all
who use the Oxygenated Bitters will fiud them
as serviceable as I have found them.
With high respect your obedient serv't,

forms. Try the Oxygenated Bitters before
you say there is no cure for this disease.
