this paragraph comes marked, has expired, and unless re
newed will be discontinued.
We have also set a limit In Mifflin county.beyond which

Notice to all Concerned.
We are now transcribing our subscrip

The Charleston Convention.
This body •!' political wire-workers ad
journed last week, one portion to meet at
Baltimore on the lSth June, the anniver
sary of Napoleon's defeat at Waterloo, the
other at Richmond on the 11th June.—
The nigger in the woodpile was the ground
of dispute between the two factions, the
speches and resolutions having demonstra
ted that there is no more harmony of opin
ion on this question among the patent de
mocracy than there is between republicans
and u northern democrats with southern
faces."
From present indications the platform
can never he built except upon the cheat
ing system. The planks cannot be made
to tit by any possibility, and as there are
three ot them, each one will submit to be
splintered up into lucifer matches before it
will be tounged and grooved into either of
the others. We have first, the principle
upon which Mr. Avery stood, which repu
diates the " Squatter Sovereignty" doe
trine in toto. The particular plank upon
which the seceding members stumbled out
of the Convention, and without which
they never will re enter it, was the first
resolution in the proposed addendum to
the Cincinnati platform. This denies
" that Congress has any power to abolish
"slavery in the Territories—or that Terri
" torial Legislature has any power to abol
" ish it—or to forbid the introduction of
"slaves within a Territory, or the right to
" destroy or impair the right of property
" in slaves by any legislation whatever."—
This much negatively, to which is added
the third resolution, which asserts " that it
" is the duty of the federal Government
'• to protect when necessary the rights of
" persons aud property on the high seas,
"in the Territorial, or wherever else its
" constitutional authority extends." I "pon
this issue the withdrawing delegates have
planted themselves, proclaiming that they
alone represent the National Jkunocracy.
In mortal opposition to this theory is
the doctrine of the Douglasites, around
which so many fierce battles have been
lbught. This affirms the right of the Ter
ritorial Legislature to settle the question
of slavery within the bounds of the Terri
tory, and virtually denies that Congress '
has the power to interfere either for or
against the institution. When parties are
separated by lines so distinctly drawn, and
by theories, however abstract, so essential
ly variant, there is no conceivable couipro- |
rnise upuii which they can unite.

Those patriots who were too good to sup
port Fremont in 1856, because the Democracy
alone could save the union, now find them
sclvee " out in the cold," and it be bard for
thum to find an orifice to creep into. They
joined the old enemy and traducer of the
W big party, to help it to save the Union, and
it now appears that it cannot save itself.
A new and very dangerous counterfeit has
been been sprung on the business communi- i
ty. It is a five dollar note purporting to be
of the issue of the Commonwealth Bank of
Philadelphia. It is the most perfectly execu

for the public is to refuse notes of this denom

LOCAL. AFFAIRS.
BAiJfeox ASCENSION. —John A. Light,
of Lebanon county, who has made several
successful ascensions, will inflate his bal
loon, " The Flying Cloud," in the jail
yard on Saturday next, when our citizens
and all others who may attend will have an
opportunity of witnessing the ascent of
this intrepid young aeronaut.
Ho ! FOR CHICAGO. —Excursion tickets

the Fort Wayne and Chicago Railroad, will
be issued at the office of the Company in
Fittsburg, for the round trip to Chicago
and return for 814—good from the twelfth
of May to the first of June inclusive. —
Two trains will leave Pittsburg daily. This
is a pleasant route, traversing some of the
finest portions of Ohio, Indiana and Illi
nois. Ample provisions will be made to
comfortably accommodate any number of
passengers. Sleeping cars will run with
the night trains. This will also afford an
excellent opportunity for persons to visit
the west.
FLOWERS. —E, 1). Auner, east comer of
Main street and the diamond, has been ap
pointed agent for the sale of flowers and
plants from the nursery of J. E. Johnston,
and has now oe bund a large number of ro

are invited to call and examine. Orders
left with Mr. A., either for flowers, plants,
shrubs, or trees, will be promptly filled.
We would remiud our readers that May is
the proper time for planting evergreens.
FIRE. —Wo regret to learn that the
barn of James Cupples, in Perry town
ship, was consumed by fire on Friday af
ternoon last. It was discovered about two
o'clock, but the flames had made such
headway that nothing was rescued. The
barn contained grain, hay, wagon, nearly
all his agricultural implements, with a
number of other articles, all of which were
destroyed. A calf was also unfortunately
burnt It is not known how the tire orig
inated. The loss is a severe one to Mr.
Cupples. being probably SISOO, only about
SSOO of which is insured.
ash barrel caught lire in the
yard of the Lewistown Hotel, between 12
and 1 o'clock a. m. on Friday morning,
which created an alarm of fire, more to the
disturbance of the outskirts than those re
siding in the immediate vicinity.
DEATH OF A STRANCKR.—A man nam
ed Jacob Dengler, from near Reading, Berks
county, applied for lodging in the barn of
Robert Forgy in Oliver township on Tues
day evening of last week, and laid down
on some straw. During the evening Mr.
F. went out and found the man quite sick,
when he made the fact known to R. Brat
ton, Esq., one of the County Commisioncrs,
who promptly called in a physician. He
was subsequently removed to the Boor
House, where, although every attention
was paid, he continued to grow worse, and
died there on Thursday last. He was on
his way to Pittsburgh, and had but little
money.
COUNTY SUPERINTENDENT.—The Di
rectors of this county, pursuant to law, !
met at the Court House on Monday last,
and organized by the appointment of WM.
BROTHERS, Esq., as President, and GEO. j
W. ELDER, Esq., Secretary. After a brief
but spicy debate, in which Dr. Belford and j
Geo. W. Elder took part on the side of;
Progress, and Dr. Mitchell on the opposite, j
the vote was taken and a large majority de
cided that A/.AKIAII SMITH, the present
efficient and gentlemanly incumbent, should
be County Superintendent for three years,
at a salary of §6OO per annum. As is of
ten the case, the opposition of a few dis
contented persons, who endeavored to bring
party feeling, religion, and almost every- '
thing else into play against Mr. Smith, re
sulted in making him additional friends.
The following Directors were in atten
dance :
Armagh Township—Milliken, Mvers.
eny, Close.
Brown—Brothers, Kyle, Mitchell, and Barr.
Bratton—Boas, Bratton, Yoder, and Rey
nolds.
Decakir—Yetter, Fees, Lauver.
Derry—Miller, Cunningham, Means, Alex
ander.
Granville—M'Kee, Caldwell, Robeson, Ram- ;
ler, Rittenhouse, Snyder.
Lewistown—Belford, Brisbin, Zollinger,
McCoy, Martin, Elder.
McVeytown—Rothrock, Corkle. \
Newton Hamilton—Culbertson, Ileister.
Oliver—Swigart, Roop, Wilson.
I nion Gibboney, Y'oder, Kauffman, Mc-
Nabb, Campbell.
Menno—Hartzler.
On the first ballot the vote stood as fol
lows :
Azariah Smith, received 31 votes
P. Williard, 13 .. ' I
P. A. Black, " 1
It was then moved that the salary of the
superintendent be fixed at 8600 per annum.
Motions to amend the motion by fixing
S4OO uud 8500 were then made, which mo
tions were lost, and the salary was fixed at
8000
DEATH FROM INTERNAL INJURIES. —
Joseph, a son of Thompson McManigil, of
Armagh township, aged 20 years, injured
himself internally a few weeks ago at Lock
Haven while engaged in jumping. He
was taken to his room, and placed under
the care of Dr. Can fie Id, and had improved
so far as to be considered beyond danger,
when it was concluded to take him to his
parents in this county. lie reached this
place about ten or twelve days ago, but was
unable to go any further, lie was then
placed under the medical treatment of Dr.
Robert Martin, suffering from a very se
vere attack of inflammation of the bowels,
which resulted in his death on Friday last.
DEPUTY MARSHAL. —For the purpose of
satisfying the hungry maws of the numer
ous applicants for this office, the Marshals
of this State, it is alleged in pursuance of
orders from head quarters, have appointed
two persons in each of the smaller counties,
and perhaps more in the larger, to take the
census. In this county, after a long ses
sion on the anxious bench, one bite of the
cherry has been awarded to Daniel Zeigler,
of this place, and the other to Isaiah Cop
lin, author of a letter to John W. Forney
and sundry other literary productions. We
do not know how the division was made, or
who has the head or tail.

An Election Trick Exposed.
The locofoco papers are publishing, with
a flourish of trumpets, an article from
that Public Pauper, the Philadelphia Pcnn
j sylvanian, an affidavit, purporting to have
been made before Alderman McMullin, a
thoroughly orthodox democrat, by one
Suiedly, to the effect that Smedly had
I gone from X'orristown to Philadelphia for
the purpose of voting the People's Ticket
at the May election. Mr. Smedly has
been released from prison, and has made
the following affidavit, which shows a new
feature in patent democracy :
Cit;/ of Philadelphia, US.
Personally appeared before me, on the 23d
of April, A. I>. 1800, Benjamin F. Smedley,
and on his solemn oath doth depose and say,
that he formerly resided in Xorristown, Mont
gomery county, Pa., but that he now resides
in this city, and on Friday, the 20th inst.,
while engaged in bis lawful business, he was
beset by one or more to him unknown, and
| that lie was induced by them to drink intox
icating drinks until lie became intoxicated,
and that while under the influence of said
I liquor or drink, he was taken somewhere to
i him unknown, and, as he has since been in
formed signed some paper purporting to be
■an affidavit. But now, being of sound mind
and reason, ho entirely repudiates it, and de
nies all knowledge of the statements therein
contained, believes the same to be a complete
forgery, or that he was made to sign said pa
per while entirely unconscious of what he was
doing.
