Nomination of Jas. T. Hale.
When we suggested some time ago that
in case Mr. Hale had no opposition the ed
itors of the district should place him in '<
nomination, we did so for the purpose of
avoiding a conferee meeting—for although
it is but little trouble to Mifflin, Centre,
Clinton or Lycoming to send conferees,
those from Potter and Sullivan must neces
sarily travel hundreds of miles and lose
much time in performing what we suppo
sed would be a mere formality. This course
was met with approbation by those who
.took the same view as ourselves, but the
Lock Haven Watchman, in coarse, ill-man
jiered language, condemned the proceeding,
and has now, we perceive, brought out Mr.
Mackey as a candidate, probably against
that gentleman's wishes and without his
knowledge, for we have reason to believe
that Mr. M. is a warm friend of Judge
Hale's. The editor of the Watchman,
however, seems bent on putting the district
to all the trouble he can, with what result
he will see when the conferees meet. In
strong contrast with this course, the last
Potter Journal, copies the Muncy Lumina
ry's article with our proposition appended,
and then adds the following:
We cheerfully give our endorsement to the
above plan, and accordingly we place the
name of Judge Hale at our mast-head and ac
cept him as our candidate. The plan is a
good one, and is now endorsed by the leading
papers of four counties in the district—Cen
tre. Mifflin, Lycoming and this county, and
will no doubt be very acceptable to Sullivan
county. The Lock liaven Watchman objects
on the grouod of " party discipline," and at
the same time admits that it knows of no one
else who desires to be a candidate against
Judge Hale. The Watchman's objection is
far fetched and self answered. We are in fa
•vor of " party discipline" when necessary;
•but as there seems to be no person aspiring
-to supplant Judge Hale at this time, we think
there is nothing demanding the exercise of
"discipline." We do not believe in keeping
the army on a war footing in time of peace ;
and, furthermore, we thiDk that the unquali
fied endorsement of Judge Ilale for reelection
by the entire Republican press of the district
will conduce more to his strength than other
wise. Some even think he will have no op
ponent, but we believe Gen. Skinner, of Ly
coming, will be the Democratic candidate.
But let who will be the candidate, we have no
fear of Judge Hale being defeated.

Mr. Bell and the Missouri Compromise,
Mr. Seward, &c.
The Lewistown Democrat is one of those
papers proverbial for making wholesale
denials of anything from which it expects
to realize party advantage, and often does
this in the face of facts that must be known
to many of its own readers. Last week,
with an effrontery for which there can be no
excuse, it boldly proclaimed that Mr. Bell
had voted against repealing the Missouri
Compromise throughout, our charge having
been that he had voted for its repeal. The
facts of the case, as any one can see by ex
amining the Congressional Globe for 1854,
are : On the 15th of February, 1854, the
amendment of Hon. Stephen A. Douglas to
the 14th section of the Kansas Nebraska
billl, was adopted by the senate, MR.
BELL VOTING for it, along with Mr.
Douglas. This amendment repealed the
Missouri Compromise. (See Congression
al Globe, vol. 28, part Ist, Ist Session, 33d
! Congress, page 421.) Immediately after
the Compact was repealed, Senator Chase,
; of Ohio, desirous of letting the people reg
j ulate their own institutions, offered the
following amendment, to be appended to
said 14th section :
" Under which the people of the territory,
through their appropriate representatives,
may if they see fit, prohibit the existence of
Slavery therein."
Mr. Bell again voted with Mr. Douglas
against this amendment, denying the peo
ple the right to be their own territorial rul
ers. (See same Globe, pps. 519-52 U.)
In reference to its call for proof that it
had misrepresented Wm. 11. Seward, we
lay our hands on its file and at random turn ;
up the Democrat of Nov. 17, 1859. It !
contains a long article in which the follow
ing tirade against Mr. Seward is uttered :
" Had Win. H. Seward, or any other High
er Law Black Republican, occupied the Pres- 1
idential chair, the likelihood is, that instead J
of promptly opposing the federal officers
would have eneouraged and perhaps even as
eisted old Brown, in his nefarious purposes."
Is not this abuse? Is not this misrep
resentation ? Is it not a shameful libel ?
For while Mr. Seward may err in his
judgement, no act of his has ever given
color to such a case as is supposed proba
ble by the Democrat. No Iwe should look j
for such things to favor the extension of j
slavery from the Yanceys, the Rhctts, the
Keits, aud a thousand other unhung trai
tors to this Union who even now are mouth
pieces in the democratic party, but from such
patriots and statesmen as Wm. II Seward
never—not even to free a single siave where
he is lawfully held in bondage. Let it
turn to its paper of December 22, where Mr.
S. is termed a " notorious abolitionist,'
and then to twenty different numbers in
which the " leaders" of the " Black lle
publican party" are either directly or indi
rectly connected with John Brown's invas
ion of Virginia —and if eyesight is evi
dence the editor must feel strangely in hav
ing called for proof that the Democrat had
ever assailed Mr. Seward.
In reference to the tariff its remarks sav
or of the same cast. The editor of that
paper well knows that both the Douglas
and Breckenridge wings of the patent dem
ocracy agreed on the resolution adopted at
Cincinnati in favor of free trade, thus mak
ing that doctrine a part of the creed of
the democratic party, yet he talks as if pro
tection was one of his hobbies!
Party Organization.
The regular democratic party held a
meeting at Ilarrisburg on Thursday last,
and after some deliberation determined to
postpone action in forming an Electoral
Ticket of known Douglas men until after
the next meeting of the democratic State
Committee. We should not he at all sur
prised yet to see the Douglas wing outgen
eraled in this matter before they are done.
At present they have the "regular organiza
tion" to claim for their candidate, and as
such of course entitled to electors favorable
to him, hut as soon as they commence a
temporising policy and recognize DISOR
OAMZERS and SECEDERS as a part and
parcel of their party, they are no longer
entitled to the appellation of being the par
ty. This can be best exemplified in coun
ty matters. Suppose, for instance, a small
portion of the delegates to the next demo
cratic county convention should secede, set
themselves up as " the party," and nomin
ate a candidate for the Legislature, for Sher
iff, or Register, would the majority, consti
tuting the regular convention, treat them
as equals, or as possessing any rights what
ever? Certainly not. The majority would
say to the seoeders, " you are disorganizers,
and set at naught the usages of the party,
and upon you will rest the stigma of de
feat." In the case of the electoral ticket,
this very question is pertinent. Nomina
ted by the State Convention before the Na
tional Convention met, as honorable men
they tood pledged to vote, in case of their
election, lor the regular nominee of the
party and no ether. But say the minority,
we want our friends, comprising at least
two-thirds of that ticket —probably put
there lor the express purpose of opposing
Douglas—to stay on it; maybe they will
vote for him, maybe not; but at all events
we want them on it. This is about the .
logic U6ed by the scceders. In this fami
ly fight we care but little who gets thrash
ed, but in our opinion if the Douglasites in
this matter will yield an inch, they will
find themselves fiat on their backs with
their pretended friends walking over them.
Democrat seems to be in a peck
of trouble because it has not been added
in every instance to announcements for
office in the Gazette, that the candidates
are subject to the decision of the county j
convention! It is also fearful that the
People's Party will turn Black Republi
cans and swallow all the niggers—in which ,
case what would the Democrat do? We
are happy to say, however, that we can re
lieve the Democrat from its trouble : in the
first place all the candidates named are .
willing to abide by the decision of the con
vention ; and in the second place, as Breek- ;
enridge, the nigger spreading candidate, is I
not likely to be elected, there will be no
necessity for depriving the Democrat and [
its allies of their accustomed beefsteak by
the Republicans swallowing all the nig- j
gers I
THE HAPPY FAMILY.
A DEMOCRATIC TAIL.
The Perry Democrat, Douglas paper,
has the following on its first page :
Not Disunionists. —The northern suppor
ters of Breckenridge and Lane protest that
they are not disunionists—no, of course not
—how could they be? But we will illustrate
their position by an old fable, which tells us
of a certain stork that was caught by an en
raged farmer in company with a party of dep
redating geese. The stork begged hard for
his life, protesting that he was not a goose—
but the farmer was too much incensed to dis
criminate, and Mr. Stork had his nick wrung
along with his companions. This we are ap
prehensive will be the fate of the northern
Rebels. They have got into very bad compa
ny—they are training with Yancy's disunion
battalions, and being judged by their associ
ates, the fate of the latter will be theirs.—
Their necks will be wrung. They may- be
storks —but they will die as geese.
The Charleston Mercury, the well-known
secession organ of South Carolina, openly
avows that it supports Breckenridge and
i Lane because they are the nominees of a
' Sectional Southern Convention. It sup
i ports them because they are not national!
That is an interesting admission. That is
a peculiar reason to give for the support of
what the Breckenridge papers hereabouts
facetiously call " the ouly National Tick
et !"
But the ChLileston Mercury is not the
only paper that puts forth disunion as its
avowed reason for supporting the Brecken
ridge ticket, by any means, as our readers
shall see for themselves. Among the ar
dent supporters of that ticket is the Cam
j den (Ala.) Register, and we ask the Deino
! orats to read the following from a recent
article in its columns :
" We run up our flag to-day for Brecken
ridge and Lane, the Democratic nominees fur
President and Vice President of the United
States. We have unwaveringly contended
for the last ten years that it would be better
(for all concerned,) to make two, or more, dis
tinct Governments of the territory comprising
the United S tales of America —and that such
will ultimately be done, there can be no sort
of doubt; but it should be done with fairness
and justice to every section of the Union ; and
believing that the party to which we belong is
the only reliable one to carry out this measure,
and to secure to our own section all her rights,
we intend to battle for its principles to the
fullest extent of our ability."
What do the friends of" the only nation
al party" candidates think of that? The
Register thinks " it would be better for all
concerned to make two or more distinct
Governments"—" or more" is well put in
—"of the territory comprising the United
States of America," " and believing that
the party to which it belongs is the only
reliable one to carry out this measure," it
throws itself with might and main into the
Breckenridge camp!
But there is still another Breckenridge
paper on the nature of the present canvass
that is, if possible, yet more significant and
suggestive of the real modus operandi by
which the running of Mr. Breckenridge
may be made to accomplish the object de
sired. We quote as follows from the Mont
gomery Mail, a secession paper, published
at the capital of Alabama, and one of the
I leading Breckenridge journals of that
i State.
i
j " Run three Presidential tickets against
Lincoln, thereby giving Lincoln the chance
for election. After Lincoln is elected, some
Southern communities—most of them per
haps—will refuse to let a Postmaster, appoint
-1 ed under his Administration, take possession
of the office. Then the United States author
ities will be interposed to 'enforce the laws.'
Then the United States authorities will either
i be shot down, or they will shoot somebody
down. Then the people of the community
will rise up against the United States Govern
ment, and will be sustained by neighboring
communities, until civil war with all its hor
rible butcheries, envelopes the land in a
shroud of blood aud carnage!"
This mode of seceding will not trouble
the rail mauler much. He will quietly di
rect his P. M. General to leave all such
communities without mails, and then,
Eh >Uid trer. on show itself, hang them.
1 New York Djiy Book, a warm Breck
enridge paper, in a rcci ut article on the
subject speaks as follows :
" That the Douglas faction are the disunion
party is known not only by their refusal to
sustain the Dred Scott decision and the equal
rights of all the States, but after tbe refusal
of Mr. Fitzpatrick of Alabama to belong to
their company, they have put a man on their
ticket—Mr. Ilerschel \ . Johnson, of Georgia
who was a red-hot Secessionist in 1851. So
also was Mr. Pierre Soule of Louisiana, who
headed the delegation from that State, that
the Douglas men admitted into their Conven
tion at Baltimore."
Thus, by their own showing, the two
factions into which the Locofoco party is :
divided are both lor disunion, and whilst
they are all busy charging the fact upon
each other, they have almost ceased with
the transparent humbug of repeating the
charge against the People s and Republi
can party.
The Harrisburg State Sentinel, in speak
ing of a compromise electoral ticket, says:
" There is not a single press iu Pennsylva
nia that flies the ensign of Breckenridge and
Line —there is not a tongue that proclaims
adhesion to their cause, that can assign a
sound reason, based upon Democratic or pat
riotic principles, for doing so. Hie course
they are pursuing is demoralizing, disorgan
izing, in the violation of usage, principle,
justice, and honor. The proposition ot com
promise, coming from them, is more than a
tacit acknowledgement that they are wrong,
and understand thoroughly the untenantable
ness of the position they occupy. If they are
right, we are clearly in error; if their as
sumptions are true, ours are ialse—and in
what system of ethics can they find it laid
down that right may compromise with wrong
or truth with falsehood? The fact is, they
; feel the weight of the responsibility which
ihey have taken upon themselves too oppres
sive to be borne alone, and having already sac
rifieed almost everything that honorable men
hold dear, they are willing to sacrifice a lit
: tie more in order to shift a part of the burden
! from their shoulders to ours. They feel that
: thev have degraded themselves, violated their
I party fealty, and sunk their manhood by be
; coming the mere passive tools of a reckless
and corrupt faction of politicians who aim at
; the destruction of our common country. To
' look upon men placed in so forlorn a condi
tion awakens no pleasurable emotions in the
heart. We pity, but can't relieve them.
We are in the way of the faithful, and dare
not desert it to hold converse or treaty with
sinners who have rebelled and sinned "against
light and against knowledge." We can not
; accept the compromise they have offered, be
cause, on our part, we have nothing to coni
j promise—cur skirts are clean, and we must
! keep them so, which we could not do were
I we, by accepting their terms, to associate
politically with a band of rebellious disorgan
izers who have declared their independence
of Democratic usages, and combined with
! Federalists, Disunionists, and Traitors to
make war upon the Party aud the Union. —
I We are as much afraid to burthen our con
! sciences with so much guilt, as an honest
Christian would be to play " blind man's
buff" with the devil.
®RiMr. Breckenridge made a speech at Cy n
thiana, Kentucky, (April 7, 1855.) That
! speech, reported evidently by a friendly pen,
appeared in the Paris (Kv.) State Flag, and
; was copied, with the complimentary intro
duction of the Kentucky editor into the Gov
| ernment organ at Washington, (the Laion,)
May 5, 1855. It is thus given :
" It was natural for a man to prefer those
of his own religious faith in voting, and he
himself would vote for one of his way i f

j born citizen, other thiugs being equal."

Loss of Lives by Heat.
Our exchanges come with accounts of
the overpowering hot weather in the South.
Natchez, St. Louis, Memphis, Savannah
and New Orleans are suffering almost be
yond precedent. The average range of the
thermometer at these points, is this year
far in excess of that of the past.
Forty-two deaths occurred in New Or
leans week before last from sun stroke, and
forty from apoplexy. The whole mortality
of the city was 300. The suu is said to
have poured down with an intensity which
the 44 oldest resident does not recollect to
have seen equalled."
Seventeen persons fell victims, in three
days, to sun-stroke in St Louis, Missouri.
Their names are reported in full, with the
attending circumstances, in the Evening
News of the 21st ult. One was a witness
in court, another a waiter at a hotel, one
was a trapper whose whole life had been a
I series of exposures in the service of the
American Fur Company, another was a
Frenchman. Some were women, and some
boys, and all ranks of life were represent
ed. The article in the News is headed
I "The Reign of Death."
Eight persons fell dead at Charleston, S.
! C., the thermometer being 102 degrees in
i the shade. The Courier says that the heat
commenced on the 28th of June, and has
i continued ever since. The quicksilver has
i been kept at points not common for it to
rise to, and this has continued even at night.
The air, even when it is in motion, is hot
! and withering.
In Mobile, Alabama, some half a dozeu
! cases of coup tfe sofcil had occurred.—
Heretofore it has been almost unknown in
! that place. Even night offers no protec

i rollers of the press of the Advertiser were
melted. The thermometer stood in the
j shade at from 98 to 100 degrees.
I Fix deaths are reported at Augusta,
' Georgia. One of them was of a traveler
from Pennsylvania who was overpowered
j while sitting in a train of cars about to
| leave the city. In the neighborhood of that
j place numerous other cases were chronicled.
In Savannah, Georgia, the thermometer
| stood at 90 degrees in the shade. The sea
j breeze was almost as bad as that from the
| land. Although the papers notice no
! deaths, it is certain that some had oeeur

I heat.

PILES! PILES ! PILES!
What is it? llow Cured?
Thousands of persons have piles—suffer for years
with the disease—yet few know what it is, or how it is
cured. Every case of Piles, whether manifested in
the form of externa! tumors, frequent bleedings, < r
in violent itching and irritation, depends essentially
upon congestion of the abdominal venous circulation.
This produces the engorgement, dilation of the veins,
formation <>f tumors, hemorrhages, pain and suffering;
and the disease can only be fundamentally cured by
medicines which, taken internally, relieve this venous
congestion, lleuee ointments, washes, and even in
jections, are so ineffectual.

are also likely to abound.
