Preliminary Meetings.
In our opinion it is desirable that an
early day should be fixed for the meeting:
* C
of the Congressional conferees, so that the
candidate—who will no doubt be Judge
Hale—will be enabled to spend a few days
before the election in each county of this
district. It is probable, however, he may
have no opposition whatever, and in that
case we would suggest it might be as well
to re-nominate him without the formalities
of a conferee meeting, either by the edi
tors of the district or by the county meet
ings. So iar as Mifllin county is concern
ed, no one else is thought or spoken of,
and we therefore propose to our brethren
of the press at once to put up his name as
the candidate—feeling assured that in do
ing so we hut respond to the universal sen
timent that a better man, or more able rep
resentative, could not be secured.
Democracy in Mifflin County.
The " democracy in this county is at
present sorely exercised as to which wing
■or faction of the National split they be
long. In town Douglas numbers perhaps
one-half the votes, among whom are the
fishy ones, but iu the country, Brecken
riuge seems to carry the nay by a decided
majority. In this di! uima a friend sug
gests that we might help their classification
by designating the Douglas faction as the
Papist Party- .uat gentleman having all
his religious business done by the Pope's
agents —the other as anti-Pope, Ihcck, we
believe, being a stiff Presbyterian—and
those who are on the fence might label
themselves "cowboys." The suggestion
we think is a good one, and if we should
use it in the coming campaign, our readers
will understand that when we speak of the
Papist faction it will mean Douglas's sup
porters, and the anti-Pope Breckenridge's
men. They might also appropriately mark
themselves—the Douglasites with a cross
on the back, and the Breckites with a
black band around the waist, (meaning
piggers every where,) so that they might
ell be told at sighi to whose fold they be

Curious Coincidence.
On the very night of the eventful 22d
of June, 1860, says the City Journal, the
day which severed in twain the Baltimore
Democratic Convention and which made
the Democracy a suggestive counterpart of
an Oriental Bashaw with two tails, the
heavens appeared to beat responsive to the
scene below, and, of a sudden, revealed to
mortal eyes a startling sign of sympathy.
Strange to tell, on that evening the as
tronomers at Cambridge discovered, loom
ing up in the sky, a new comet. Accord
ing to Prof. Bond, of Harvard, " the tail
" of this astronomical visiiant branches off
" into two distinct tails, one diverging to
" the North and the other to the south. —
" Through the large telescope it presents
" an appearance curiously like the large one
"of '56, hut on a much reduced scale. —
"Owing to the strong moonlight, its low
"position, and its increasing distance from
" the sun, it is doubtful whether it will be
" come conspicuous to the naked eye, and
"it is probable by November that it will
"disappear altogether from the Northern
" horizon."
Here we have a most graphic picture ot
the present appearance of the Democracy;
the coincidence is striking enough to stag
ger the most incredulous disbeliever iu as-
O
trology. Note the peculiar points of simil
itude : " Appearance like that of '56, but
on a much reduced scaletwo decided
tails, one North the other South " posi
tion very low" not likely to become con
spicuous to the naked eye" most proba
bly will disappear in November from the
Northern horizon altogether."
Adjournment of Congress.
Among the important measures passed
by the House of Representatives and now
lying dead —mutilated and disfigured, some
of them—on the .Senate table, or smother
ed in its committee rooms, we may enume
rate the Tariff bill, the bill for the admis
sion of Kansas, the bill prohibiting Poly
gamy in Utah, the Mileage Retrenchment
bill, (which proposes a saving of half a
million of dollars in the matter of the
mileage of Congressmen,) the River and
Harbor Improvement bill, the Pension bill
for Disabled Soldiers, and the bill prohibi
ting the sale of Public Lands until ten
years after a survey, without interfering
with the present price. All these meas
ures were considered and passed in the
House, but, with one or two exceptions,
they were not so much as taken up in the
Senate. A pretended effort was made in
the Senate during the last few days of the
session to resusciate the Tariff bill, (which
had been previously postponed, upon the
motion of Mr. Hunter, of Virginia, until
next December,) but the proposition failed
for want of time. So this great measure,
together with those enumerated above, and
many others of importance, lie over until
next winter by reason of the votes of the
Democratic majority in the Senate or be
cause of the indifference of its standing
committees, all of which are controlled by
the dominant party. Let the people re
member these facts, and place the respon
sibility where it rightfully belongs.
Foster's Home Organ and the Coalition \
Movement. —The attempt to coerce the De- :
uioeracy of the State into the support of
a "double-headed" electoral ticket, will
not take in old Westmoreland. The
Grccnsburg Argus, the home organ of
Ilcnry D. Foster, calls it an " infamous |
proposition" and says:
'• This proposition cannot be entertained
for one moment. It is too infamous to be
named. Thanksto an overruling Providence, !
•and the firmness of the Baltimore Convention j
the question of who is the democratic candi
date, is not an open one. That question had
been irrevocably settled. There is but one
Democratic candidate in the field, and that is '
Stephen A. Douglas. The people bad long
since nominated him, and the Baltimore Con- 5
w .tion only ratified it, or, in a legal phrase, !
recorded the verdict."
Is Foster for Douglas? Who knows?

ing their position. It is intended by the
Douglas men to call a State Convention, ei I
ther delegate or mass, to fill vacancies in the
electoral ticket. Mr. Forney announces that j
Mr. Douglas cordially sustains the policy of

I list for thy footsteps when twilight appears.
When pleasure in vain tempts me to cheer—
When all are enjoying themselves in their glee;
Yet my soul bows in sorrow and weeping for thee.
I list for thy footsteps, when stars cast their rays j
On the spot where tliv form in slumber is laid—
When nature has sunk into calmness and sleep.
My heart heaves with sorrow, for thee do I weep.
I list for thy footsteps, when sitting alone
By the rill 'neath the shade near our once happy
home;
And often in fancy I hear tliv soft step.
Forgetting, alas I thou art with the cofd dead.
But why do I mourn, since thy spirit's away
In a land where sorrow and death have no stay—
Where joys are unceasing. where love freely flows,
Where often mv spirit longingly goes.
In this place, 011 Monday, 25th June, Mrs. MARY
HENDERSON, aged f>l years.
The world is full of Death! The joys that cheer us
are withered by his breath. The hopes that animate
11s are blasted f>y his touch. < >ur pains and our afflic
tions cease when he summons, and that hereafter in
volved in so much mystery, is opened to our gaze as
death closes 011 the scenes and memories of this world.
To die is the most sublime part of the destiny fixed
for man. It is easy to live easy, to battle with the
world—anon achieve a tiiumph in society's most diffi
cult paths, again eliciting applause for deeds of valor,
or sentiments of patriotism and eloquence— but to •lie!
It is not the brave or the eloquent, not the learned or
graceful, or the beautiful, illuminating our homes with
love's lovliest smiles, who fully comprehend the cer
tainty and the sublimity of death. All the>c too often
contemplate death as destined for others, not for
them. The brave laugh at death: the eloquent mere
ly recognize it: while the beautiful imagine thcm-elves
too fair and lovely to serve as trophies f r the grim
monster 1 Alas! that human understanding should
he so dull to its own fixed condition, and what in real
ity, is the most important part of our relation to a here
after, should be so little comprehended, and so seldom
applied to ourselves as a certainty. The Christian,
however, looks on death as a release, a repose, and a
reward. The christian dies for the purpose of effect
ing a change from mortality to immortality. Death to
the christian is not invested with those horrors with
which the contemplation of a degraded r debased
mind invests the reality of dying. It has its charms,
these are indescribable —its attractions, these are
known only to the pure, and its rewards that are ••en
tered in Heaven- —rewards that mortal language <-an
not describe for the comprehension of mortal minds.
It is not unnatural to indulge in language such as is
contained in the above paragraph, when we contem
plate seriously the announcement which preceJes.
Although the most insidious and unmanageable dis
ease had been at work on the system of the deceased
for years, her friends and relatives seemed to banish
the idea that she would be taken from their midst so
soon. She was the nucleus around which clustered
the heart's tenderest affections —the affections which
we devote to our mothers. A christian mother, such
as she was, found those outside of her own domestic
circle who were willing and anxious to render her this
homage of their respect and esteem. Her very ex
ample was made a subject of emulation among those
who regarded her womanly virtue as far more attrac
tive than worldly display: and it was in this example
she gave to society of a blameless walk and unblem
ished reputation, that her christian practices fully il
lustrated the sincerity of her profession. Her reli
gion was not a gorgeous theory, based on mere ale
stractions; it was not merely a profession moulded to
harmonize tothe opinion of thosewith whom she might
come in contact. If was a reality—a stern, sterling re
ality, dictating truth, love, forbearance, and the prac
tice of a charity, and a virtue, with a blending of mer
cy with justice that rendered her a true woman, ani
mated by the nobler sympathies of her sex, a chris
tian imbued with fidelity to Christ and faith in God.
whose devotion never al ated. and whose very humil
ity made her beloved and attractive, llow many such
as her go down to the grave from the sequestered
walks of life? How manv mothers bowed down with
vears, and yearning for Heaven are passing from the
world, their characters lost amid the turmoil of soci
ety, and the good which they performed while li\ ing.
so little remembered, and so poorly recorded. The
death of one such christian mother iu a community
is indeed ail incalculable loss, ll is a public calamity,
as well as a deprivation which affects the influence of
every domestic eirele. We can spare, although we
mourn the loss of others. The voids made in society
by the death of the great and the lovely are soon fit
led up again—but vacancies created by the death of
any of the christian mothers of the land, require the
lapse of years to refill —not that the world contains so
few christian mothers, but, because, alas, that they are
so little known.
We need write or print no more of the late Mrs.
Henderson. She will long be remembered in this
community. The good she performed will raise up
for her a living monument of gratitude, while the ex
ample she gave to those who were intimately connec
ted with her, must and will be perpetuated by their
emulation. They must do this, not only by living as
she lived, but to be able to die as she died, in tin- faith
of a religion that is exalting, and the power of a Sa
viour to redeem sinners:
" Her ransomed spirit soared
On wings of faith and love,
To meet the Saviour she adored,
And reign with Him above.
With us her name shall live
Through long succeeding years.
Embalmed with all our hearts can give,
Our praises and our tears."

While going down the river Euphrates, he exper

covering his condition, one of the Imatmen took front
his person an Amulet, saying. - li'wtr thU tad no Fcrer
trill towh vott. ' Although incredulous as to its virtu.*?.,
he complied, and experienced immediate relief, and
has sine.- always found it an effectual protection from
all malarious complaints.
On farther investigation he found that the boatman
attributed it to utitftr •/.,powers,alld said that it eoul.J

time afterwards, the gentleman in conversing with a
Priest obtained from iiim the secret of it-preparation,
and asi:ertaiued un.-re the ><-.ti<-in:>l nerb- •.• re
found, of which it was eotnpounded. Tim wonderful
virtues of this article have induced a full belief in the
minds of the natives in the miraculous healing pow
ers <>f their priests.
Since his return to America, it lias been tried with
the happiest effect bv several Ladies and Gentlemen
of high character, who have given it the most unqual

Persia for hundreds of years, for the prevention and
