A Few Plain Questions.
Will the Lewistown Democrat, which
has always profeessed to be a great stickler
for union-saving, answer the following
questions :
Ist. Was not Douglas unanimously nom
inated by the regular democratic convention,
the only body called to name a candidate
for President?
2d. Did it not declare it would support
the " regular democratic nominee," and did
it not, in pursuance of that declaration,
put up the names of Douglas and Johnson ?
-3d. Were not the majority of bolters,
who put in nomination Brcc/cenridge and
Lane, OPEN AND AVOWED DISUNIONI8T8?
4th. Ought a majority of a convention
.hold bo-itera aud disorganizes as their
equals, and treat with them as such ?
sth. If Douglas is the regular demo
cratic nominee, are not Breekenridge and
jhis friends disorganizes ?
We write tue above at the suggestion of
ki Douglasite, who says be cannot under
stand the Democrat's course in putting up
oue man for President, and advocating the
almost direct support of another for the
same office.
The Disunion Candid tes.
The Philadelphia Press, in noticing the
position taken by a number of supporters
of Breekenridge and Lane who openly state
their chief reason for advocating the Se
cession nominees to be that they believe
such a course to be Lest calculated to se
cure a dissolution of the confederacy, says:
" This is the first ticket ever presented for
suffrages of the American people claiming
to have a reasonable prospect of securing a
single electoral vote, which has been bold- j
ly sustained by any body of men as a disu- j
nion ticket. 'I he old Abolition Presidential
tickets that were ruu in the Northern
States previous to the formation of the Re
publican party might also properly be con
sidered disunion tickets, and most of those
who sustained them freely acknowledged
that they desired a dissolution of the Un- I
ion, and even petitioned Congress on the
subject—but they did not receive more than
a few thousand votes in any State. The
Southern disunion candidates deserve no
more respect or support from the Democra- i
cy of the Union, nor from the conservative
men of any party, tfian the abolition can
didates of 1840 and 1844. The friends of
the former want to dissolve the Union now
because they love the ultraisms of slavery i
better than our existing form of National
Government, and the friends of the latter
desired the same end, because their ultra
abolition ideas overruled all other consider
ations. " Extremes meet," and it is cur
ious to notice this remarkable similarity of
action between the Fire-eaters and the ul
tra Abolitionists."
B?*L.Decattir was regularly chiseled oat of
the nomination for Commissioner on Monday
in the democratic convention. When asked
why that township was thus slighted, one of
the old canal tribe said something like the
following: Oh, it don't matter much—
the Dutch down there will think its all
right, end vote for anybody we put on the
ticket; and besides, we'll put sonic of 'em on
for President or Vice President at a demo
cratic meeting, and that w ill tickle 'em long
enough to keep up their democracy until we
.can promise something else."
The Gazette's refusal to publish the Tariff
votes of the Senate and House of Represen
tatives in full, is of course to be understood
as a tacit admission that the figores which it
publishes everv week so prominently under
t the head of " Who are the friends of Protec
tion ?" ARE NOT CORRECT.
It is by sueh absurd, we might almost
say silly, paragraphs like the above that
the Lewistown Democrat desires to make
some of its readers believe that the patent
democracy, ts a party, favor protection to
; American Industry; it does this too in the
face of the fact that leading democrats in
this county openly advocate the doe
; trine of free trade as promulgated in the
j Cincinnati Platform, and re-affirmed by
both factions of that party at Charleston
and Baltimore. In reference to publishing
hundreds of names merely to expose the
petty subterfuges the Democrat resorts to
< to keep up a tariff idea, we have only to ;
say that before it is much older we shall
pin those names to its coat tail in away
from which there will be no escape. In ,
the mean time, if more than two patent
! democrats in the Senate and two in the
House voted for Morrill's tariff bill, we call
upon it to name them , or if our list is in
correct, we challenge it to publish one that
it calls correct. "We hope democratic tariff
men w ill mark its course as regards this
proposition—a perfectly fair one —from
which no houeet politician ought to shrink.
1 We repeat, what we have often said,
that tariff men Lave but one chance for
procuring the passage of a bill giving such
' protection as will revive the iron trade and
other interest 3, and that is to elect Lincoln
President*' C yich men as Hale to Congress,
and members of the Legislature who will
put a majority of tariff men in the U. S.
Senate —for so long as the democrats con
trol the Presidency, the House of Repre
sentatives, or that body, our iron works
will be what they are now, quiet as grave
yards.
An Arnold Burr Democrat.
The principal leader in the bolting move
| ment at Charleston and Baltimore, which
i resulted in the nomination of Breekenridge
* and Lane, has avowed the following treas
i ' c
j onable letter to be genuine, but attempts
; to screen himself now under the plea that it
was hastily written and did not mean dis
j union. We commend it to those union- i
saving democrats who in 185t> were so
fearful of Fremont, as showing the com
pany they are in now :
MONTGOMERY, June 15.
DEAR SIR :—Your kind favor of the 15th is
received. I hardly agree with you that a I
general movement can be made that will clear j
out the Augean stable. If the Democracy is j
overthrown, it would result in giving place to |
a greater and hungrier swarm of flies. The j
remedy of the South is not in such a process; !
it is in a diligent organization of her true j
men for prompt resistance to the next aggres
sion. It must come in the nature of things. I
!No national power can save us; no sectional
party can ever do it; but if we do as our fath- j
ers did, organize committees of safety all
over„the cotton States, and it is only in them '
j that we can hope for an effective movement — j
we shall fire the Southern heart, instruct the
j southern mind, give courage to each other, and
at the proper moment, by one organized, con
| ceri'd action, we can precipitate the coilon states
into a ievolution. The idea has been shadow
' ed forth in the South by Mr. Ruffin, and has I
been taken up jnd recommended in the Ad- j
vertiser (the Montgomery organ of Mr. Yan j
j cy) under the name of " The League of Uni- j
ted Southerners," who, keeping up their old :
party relations on all other question?., will j
hold the Southern issues paramount, and w.'U j
influence parties, Legislatures and statesmen* j
I have no time to enlarge, but to suggest
merely.

School of Design for Women
An incorporated institution of this kind
has been in operation in Philadelphia for
j some years, the object being to provide em
ployment for females in arts heretofore
but partially open to thetu, by means of
which hundreds who have now a precari
ous subsistence as hired help or at health
. destroying needlework, might not only
l earn a livelihood for themselves but some
thing to lay by for a future day. Joseph
Harrison, Esq., is President of the institu
tion, with a number of well-known names
as directors, and P. P. Morris, Esq., ofthc
respected Morris family, Secretary and
: Treasurer. The school is under charge of
T. W. Braidwood as Principal, with Mary
Jane Greig teacher of Drawing and Paint*
ing, K. K. Hay hurst teacher of Plane Ge
j ometry and Prospective, W. E. Tomlinson
teacher of Wood Engraving. Charges for
j instruction are very moderate, and where
parties are really unable to pay will be re
duced to a mere trifle or nothing. The
j instruction afforded at this institution con
sists of nine classes, embracing drawing,
shading, painting in colors, surface decora
-1 tions, perspective, &c., and an industrial
: department to learn designing, wood en
graving, or print cutting.
The year will be divided into two terms, !
of five months each; the first commencing 1
Beftembcr Ist, and ending January 31st;
j the second commencing February Ist, aru'
1 ending June 3Uth The charge lor tuition
will be £l2 per tern (in advance,) from
whieh no deduction will be made, except
; in eases of protracted sickness. Excep
tional Cass, 824 per term. For further

LOCAL AFFAIRS.
CAMP MEETING. — A Camp Meeting
within the hounds of Lewistown Circuit,
East Baltimore Conference, w.ll be held
near the Three Locks, commencing on
Thursday. August Doth. The Preacher
in charge, J. Moorhead, invites adjoining
charges to participate in the services, and
requests us to state that by the laws of
Pennsylvania no huckstering will be allow
ed on or near the ground.
SANITARY MEASURES.— The Town Coun
cil, at its meeting on Monday last, directed
the Chief Burgess to give notice to all per
sons to clear up their yards, cellars, stables,
pens, and other outhouses, remove nuisan
ces, and use lime or other disinfecting
agents as precautionary measures towards
preserving the health of our Borough, and
appointed the following committees to visit
each dwelling and building and see that
these recommendations are carried out ;
East of the Creek—J. Bearley and John
B. Miller.
West Ward—D. Bearley and C. Dufar.
East Ward, from Main to Dorcas street—S.
Comfort and R. H. McClintic.
Remainder of East Ward —George Fctzer
; and D. Wasson.
These committees will commc-nee visit
ing on Saturday next, or in the beginning
of next week.
RAILROAD ACCIDENT. — A collision oe
curred on Thursday morning last between
the two fast freight trains, a short dis
tance this side of Mayes' bridge, which re
i suited in the death of a fireman named
B. I*'. Pelan, a young man of Ilarrisburg.
considerable injury to both locomotives,
and the destruction of one freight car, la
i den with rags. It 13 difficult to decide
who is to blame in this matter, as the train
; going east claims that it still had three
minutes to make the double track, while
the one going west contends that it started
five minutes after the expiration of time
; given in such cases; but as the first nam
|
j ed was running at a high rate of speed,
contrary to the rules, we do not see how
| the conductor and engineer can escape cen
! sure. On the morniug the accident occur
i red, the passenger train was behind time,
1 which caused both freight trains to lay over
j the usual time—half an hour—after that
j train had passed, one at McVeytown and
the other here. Unless the schedule di
rects these trains to lay over at Anderson's,
it will be readily perceived that in such ca
ses as the above accidents are likely to oc
! cur, as neither can make the station east
j 7
■ or west of Anderson's without running at
a speed of over 20 miles an hour.
TEMPERANCE SERMON. —Rev. 11. Ba
ker delivered a temperance sermon in the
Lutheran Church on Sunday afternoon, ta
king for his text the commandment" Thou
shalt not kill." He took the ground, in
his argument, that it mattered little in the
civil law hoic people were killed, whether
suddenly or by a slow p>roccss —it was mur
der; and then went on to deduce from this
that if, as is generally conceded, the use
and abuse of intoxicating liquors annually
cause the death of at least 80,000 persens
in the United .States, then all concerned
in the manufacture and sale of an article
which produces such a result, will not be
held guiltless, lie called upon the church
es rid themselves of all connected with
the traffic, feelingly referred to the
manv cases ot mania which have in the
past few years cons.^g a drunkard s
grave those who might ba>" e lived and died
honored and respected but foi" * ou '
stain upon our laws, than which Satan £im
self could not ask for a more powerful aux
iliary to carry on his work on earth, name
ly, that of causing discord, poverty, disease,
wretchedness of all shades, profanity and
vice, and ultimately the misery of never
dying souls. Rev. Mr. Kepler made a few
explanatory remarks of the position held
by the Methodist church, which repudiates
liquor sellers and dealers in the article —a
position held by most churches, though few
of them are perhaps as rigid in carrying
out that doctrine as the Methodist.
This temperance movement is regarded
with much favor by the public—a similar
sermon having been recently delivered by
Rev. Mr. Kepler—and we hear the hope
expressed that engagements will be made
by the different ministers so as to have a
lecture on that subject every three or four
weeks.
Vug-Ladies will please take notice that
B. K. Firoved, agent, has just received a
large assortment of Ladies' Traveling
Dress Goods, something new, such as R. j
de Syria Poplin, all colors. Also, made up
Dusters, all of which he will sell cheap for j
Cash. Call and see the New Styles.
I
Bgk,The weather since Saturday last has ,
been extremely warm, with the thermome- :
ter ranging from 00 to 100 in the middle
of the day. We have had but one slight
shower of rain in four weeks, and as may ;
be imagined the prospects for corn and po- ,
tatoes are daily dwindling away.
AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY. —At a meet
ing of Mifflin County Agricultural Society,
held in pursuance of the charter, on M ed
nesdav, August Ist, John Himes was ap
pointed chairman pro tem.. when the follow
ing officers were re-elected for the ensuing
, year:
President—E. E. Locke.
Vice Presidents—John Henry, James Mc-
Cord, A Wakefield.
Corresponding Secretary —F. J. Hoffman.
Recording Secretaries —George Fry-singer.
Joseph S. Wareara.
Treasurer and Librarian—W iiham Russel.
Executive Committee —T. W. Moore, Thos.
Mayes, Moses Miller.
On motion, Resolved, That a meeting of
the Society be held in the Town Hall,
Lewistown, on Tuesday afternoon, August
28th, 1860, at which the stockholders and
all others interested in the association be
invited to attend.
COUNTY CONVENTION*. — A mixture of
parties, difficult to tell of what principles
eompcsed, assembled in the Town Hall on
i Monday last, but calling themselves demo
cratic, proceeded to nominate a county tick
; et. This of course was an easy task, as
i most of those desirous of obtaining office,
. i
having no expectation of being elected
, this fail, wisely determined to let such get
r skinned as hankered after the spoils even
when only visible in the dim di.-tance. l)r.
i R. Martin was called to preside over the
mum assembly, with Jas. Sheehan and
1 ! George Weiler Vice Presidents, and John
' Strunk and H. J. Walters Secretaries.
After (we suppose) prayers that neither
' Douglas with his papacy nor Rreckenridge
• with his niggers might be suffered to show
' ! their heads in that august body—that the
- J *'• divine" institution of slavery, with all
? ! its attending blessings, might be spread
1 over this " land of the free and home of
: the brave;" that whiskey might be made of
' i a purer quality soTs not to kill off so many
' faithful; that the spoils of office might
| remain in the hands of those who are ever
- ; ready to cry, " the ayes have it," no matter
? ! what new doctrine slaveholders may ad
' ! vance; and finally that grace might be giv
■ en them so as to know whether it is true
■ | democracy to support the disorganizer
• j Rreckenridge or the regular nominee
r , Douglas, the convention proceeded to nomi
f j nate and ballot with the following result:
I ' Assembly—George Bates.
Sheriff—F. McNear.
Register and Recorder—Jos. S. Waream,
' j Commissioner—Thos. Cunningham.
Auditor—Andrew J. M'Kee.
Congressional Conferees—John Hays, N.
j J. Rudisill, Jas. C. Dysart.
' 1 There was little opposition to any one
on this ticket except for Commissioner,
| and as it had been generally conceded that
j according to usage Decatur had a claim to
i ' that office, much surprise was expressed
' that two or three good men in that region
t , were so unceremoniously overlooked.
There was no effort made to introduce
, the Presidential question, but we learn that
. | the two factions were watching each other
; like cats, and had one but said '• m-e-ow,"
' there would have been an explosion that
might have endangered the building.

g9*Our proposition to nominate Judge
Hale for Congress without the formality of a
regular district conferee meeting, in case there
was no opposition, continues to disturb the pat- !
j ent democratic editors—the Sullivan county

' test in the ring. The poor fellows, most of
whom don't know whether to bark for Dug
and tho Pope, or Ereck and disunion, are
wonderfully excited at a simple proposal to
do informally what every body knows would
ibe done formally. We dare say the whole
