CHASE, Esq. — hear Sir: Your pa par off the 2nd, contains a reference to my name a-s a supposed candidate for Congress, and I regret that you should do me the injus tice of thus referring to ine without inquiring whether I really was a candidate or not. Permit me to say to you that I desire the nomination of Judge Ilale as earnestly as you do, and will support him as cordially as you can ; that I am not a candidate, and have not, and [ w ill not willingly, allow my name to be used in connection with the nomination. I am not aware that any opposition will be made to the re nomination of our worthy rep resentative, Jas. T. Hale, Esq. Yours truly, L. A. MACKEY. ggyThe Juniata Register of this week takes down the county ticket recently nomin ated, on the ground that they are Douglas men and that the Douglas paper refuses to support Mr. Doty, for Congress. It advo cates the formation of a Breckinridge county ticket. BSL.Mr. Breckinridge has written a letter to Mr. Stevens, the Chairman of the Nation al Committee, denying that he intends to withdraw from the contest, and denounc ing the rumor of his having such a thought absurd. In the Philadelphia Court of Quarter Scs aions, on Saturday, James Miller was senten ced to be hung for the murder of II i.-y Ger ker. Wash. Budis, his accomplice, was sen tenced to twelve years'imprisonment. James B. Cross, the brilliant and slippery forger, was sent to prison for iive years. Democratic Mottoes. —We Polked them in 1544; we Pierced them in 1852: we Bucked hein in 1856; we're Breck-ing n;w, and our Ouo! The Contest—Go to Work. The Albany Journal gives some good ad vice, which we commend to our friends in this county. No defeat has ever resulted from any excess of preparation ; but many a victory ha 3 been lost from underrating the strength of the enemy. Diffusive en thusiasm, unaccompanied by systematic ef fort, is but little better than stolid indiffer ence. One man, who is never satisfied un til he knows the political predilections of every voter in his district, is worth a whole battalion of mere shouters and declaimers who have no stomach for the details of quiet work. Just now there are too many enthusiasts and too few workers. It would be worth ten thousand votes in this State to-day if every man who is confident of Mr. Lincoln's election would begin to do some thing to insure it. It we do nothing but congratulate each other upon the ease with which victory is to be achieved, we will wake up by and by to find ourselves beaten. The patent democracy though snarling at each other, do not intend to let us march over the fluid unopposed, but are endeavor ing to contest every inch of ground as per- \ sistently as they have ever done in any preceding canvass. This is especially the case with the first election, in which : the candidates for county offices are play- j ing the " mum" game. The sooner this fact is felt, and induces that kind of work ' l necessary to avert results likely to flow from : it, if disregarded, the sooner we will have : a guarantee of the victory we covet. Kv- , ery Free State, with a single unimportant exception, can be secured in November if as much effort is made in each of them as ordinarily fellows the nomination of an As semblyman in a closely contested district. The game is in our owu hands. We may ' beat ourselves by dissipating our energies, j and shouting victory before a single out- j post is taken; but the patent democracy J cannot beat us. Abraham Lincoln will be the next President of the United States, if j we do not forget that the 6th of Novem- i . i ber comes before the 4th of March, and that th-e hard work of the contest must : precede the jubilee of the Inauguration. | Meanwhile he should not be deemed the ' best party man who makes the most noise. : Practical efficiency is the true test of gen- ; uine patriotism. Regular Nominations. Messrs. Taylor of Louisiana, Pugli of Ohio, and Rust of Arkansas, in behalf of the P(jfijocratic National Executive Com- I mittee, have issued an address of explana tion and counsel to the Democracy of the United States. They declare, as the uni versal sentiment of the supporters of, Douglas and Johnson, that no compromise whatever is admissible; that they have made no proposition for a joint electoral ticket in any State, and that they exhort the rejection of such propositions indig- j nantly whenever and wherever made, i They say: ' If wc have any friends in any State, let them call a State Convention at once and noin- 1 inate a full electoral ticket, pledged to the j exclusive support of Douglas and Johnson. We can agree to nothing else ; because to ac knowledge the right of a factious minority to dictate their own terms of co-operation, to ; suffer them to violate the solemn professions . of the Democratic party, and trample under J foot our Democratic usages, would be to dis band the national organization.' The (Jreensburg Argus, the home organ of Ilenry D. Foster, in speaking of fusion, says: " The more we contemplate the late action of the State Committee, appointed by the Reading Convention, the more dark and black hearted does the treason appear. It certain- j ly requires perpetrators of this outrage, to j possess a large stock of impudence, to attempt ; to cover up the crime with the mantle of j Union with both wings of the Democratic par- ; ty. Poor, miserable, mercenary, craven par- I asites of power, there are no " two wings" of j the Democratic party. The Democratic par- j ty is united in favor of the regular nominees | of the party at Baltimore. Those who sup I port the Disunion candidate Breckenridge, are net of the Democratic party." Senator Douglas is reported as having j made at the late Rhode Island Clam Bake these remarks: "I am asked why I don't advise my friends to make a unionwicket with the secessionists. Why don't yon ffiake oil and water mix? A union ticket between an interventionist and a non-interventionist I Never on earth! lam willing to act with all men who agree with me on principle, and against all men who are in favor of disturbing the peace and harmony of this country by dragging the negro ques tion into Congress." In accordance with this recommendation, ; the Douglas State Committee has been ■ framing an electoral ticket composed of the friends of Douglas, and we shall soon there fore be enabled to judge of the sincerity of those papers and politicians who, while pro- | claiming him the "regular nominee" of, the party are willing to barter him awav for the benefit of a disorganizer. In this Bounty this matter is fast approaching a climax, and from the stand already taken by several prominent politicians, it is evi dent that candidates and office hunters gen erally will soon have to show their hands. In all our experience of politics we must confess we have never known a more suici dal policy pursued than the present divi sion among the patent democracy. That Douglas received on the last ballot 181J votes cannot be denied—that he was then declared the unanimous choice of the con vention (precisely as Buchanan was nominated for President and Foster fer Governor) is also a matter of record —yet if we are to believe the Breckenridgers and their allies, the disunionists of the South, all this amounts to nothing 1 For our part we can stand by and laugh at such folly, though tve almost regret that the predic tion that the last patent democrat has been born is Rkely to be fulfilled by the democ racy splitting up into miserable factions, for we should then have none but a hand ful of abolitionists to fight with. •©"The death of Alfred Dickens, a broth er of the celebrated author, is reported. gtasf Large—the yield of wheat in Wiscon sin.

LOGAL AFFAIRS. BELL AND EVERETT MKKTIKQ.—One of the " mass" meetings advertised in the interior for a month or more, came off at this place on Tuesday evening, and the daily papers will no doubt soon announce something like the following telegraphic dispatch : Lewistown, August 22, 1860.—A large and enthusiastic Bell and Everett meeting was held at this place last evening, which was ad dressed by Messrs. Pechin and Seymour. At the ringing of the court house bell we saw a number of " democrats" wending their way to the scene, and looking at the meeting a short time after noticed that fully one half were of that stripe, including Mr. Bates, who we learn gave special invitations to his dem ocratic friends to attend. The number of persons was small, at no time we think, much exceeding a hundred, and towards its close ; perhaps thirty or forty. The speakers, for getting chat "eternal vigilance is the price of liberty," indirectly advised voters not to elect Lincoln and Hamlin, because such an event would destroy the " fraternal feelings" exis ting between the North and South—in short, the sum anil substance of their remarks seem ed to be that no matter what new theories were advanced by southern fools and south ern traitors, the millions of the north ought to submit to each and every assumption of despotism without a murmur ! Against John Bell as an old whig the people of this county entertain no unkind feelings; but as a candi date calculated merely to distract the opposi tion in this State, they can give him no sup port now. This feeling was evidenced at the close of the first speaker's remarks, when the largest number of persons was there. Some questions were asked, which were followed by attempts to get up a cheer for Douglas and Breekenridge, both of which most of the de mocracy dodged, when a shout went up for j LINCOLN that probably astonished some folks, j The result of the meeting, as far as we can as I certain, appears to tlTas follows: Two Douglas men on the fence; Two Fusion sts converted to Douglas ; Four Breckenridgers inclined for Bell; Three or four Douglasites " " Six votes for Lincoln. N. B. Just as we are closing our form, we got sight of the Democrat of today, which publishes a list of the officers. Among the Vice Presidents are John A. Wright, who is now in Europe, Wm. llussell, who desires us to say his name was used without his consent (being a Lincoln man,) and Andrew Weber, a full blooded democrat. Other names were a'so no doubt used without authority.

We had an opportu nity a few days ago of examining a num ber of pictures so lifelike that no one could fail to recognize the parties at a glance, and the dress so faithfully portrayed that the minutest portions could be readily dis cerned. We advise all who feel an inter- est in preserving a memento of fleeting days to call and secure one of more of these gems of art, now furnished at so low a price as to be within the reach of all. RAILROAD ACCIDENT. —An unknown man, who walked up on the railroad track from Mifflin on Monday morning, stepped on the inner track near Bixler's Gap to look at the freight trains passing, when the mail train came along, and although timely notice was given he remained rooted to the spot, apparently paralized with fear. lie was struck by the cow-catcher, thrown up ten or fifteen feet high, and fell a corpse, having scarcely a mark on his body to show that he had come into contact with the vast power of a locomotive. Ninety cents were found in one of his stockings, but no papers or other matters by which he could be identified. Bgi_A good article of Tooth Powder, manufactured by Charles Henderson and Samuel H.

Through information given by- David Chriswell, who keeps a grocery on • West Third street, a watch was set and two old jail birds discovered at the busi ness of carrying them away. They were arrested on Tuesday, and if some evidence oan be obtained, others implicated will also stand a chance for a residence in the coun try seat near Philadelphia. The house of John Glasgow, in Wayne ( township, was broken into on Sunday last, while the family were absent, and a rifle, watch and some money stolen therefrom. if you want to purchase any Fruit Trees this fall, when you are in 1 town, during court week or any other time, go and look at those of Warner and Butts.' SCENERY ON THE JUNIATA. —Dr. (Ja bill, of Ireland, in a letter dated at Pitts burgh, after noting the indications of ap proaching sorue high mountain ranges, pre vious to his arrival at Patterson, says : " And here, indeed, the travolytJpras sur prised to see, during twelve miles, (to Lewis town.) every scheme of figure, device, heiglit, width, depth, into which the fancy of Nature could, in one of her most poetical humors cast and mould her innumerable hills. They were all of the conical or sugar-loaf family. Atone time they would appear in rows of three, four, six, or ten, aM of the same height; at another time they would appear in triangles, or squares, or parallelograms of different heights. Again, their ravines ran east, west, north, and south ; and, above all, their natu ral, beautiful, romantic glens, all planted in rich, beautiful trees by the old, experienced hand of graceful Nature. Then, again. liiil upon hill, hill behind hill; circles of hills around circles of hills; 'hen one tall hill, above all the surrounding hills: all, all form ed groups, families, and chains, and ravines, ; and glens, and a practical hill romance, sueh ! as I do believe neither is cr could be excelled !on the entire earth. YVhat rendered this hill ; poetry so very entrancing was that the Juni j ata accompanied us the whole way. Of eourse ! the whole route through this mountain phan | tasy was on an ever varying curve. In fact, j we were describing the figure of eight (8) on ! every two miles of the road, with the river j performing the same figure with the steam 1 engine. I might, with much propriety of j rhetorical imagery, say that the engine and Juniata danced in an exquisite curved figure for twelve miles, through so eral admiring families of enchanting . This scene of ; beauty in Nature shall net. r be effaced from uiy memory or be forgotten by my Irish heart as long as I live. On arriving at Altoona, and conversing with fellow travelers, I learn ; ed from them that the universal impression made upon all travelers of* all nations is— . namely, that there is nothing of this Kind of landscape more beautiful in the whole world. ' 1 We have been over these hills and ridges : and mountains, and through these glens I and ravines, many a time—sometimes " sol itary and alone"—all fur the mere fun of the thing, one moment looking into Juni ata county through Licking valley, the next taking in a beautiful view up or down the river, or following it westward caught a glimpse of Lewistown, the beautiful ridge beyond it, with Jack's and Stone Mountain in the distance. The geology and botany of this region are also interest ing, and afford a fine field for those who take an interest in those pages which the Creator has laid before us for our contem plation. But to understand it thoroughly, it is necessary to examine it on foot, a severe task for those unaccustomed to climbing over rocks, over lallen timber, through brushwood of various kinds, among which locust and green thorn are most annoying, but the fatigue is amply re paid by ever-changing views and scenery, ; than which, as Br. Cahill says, '• there is i nothing of that kind of landscape more beautiful in the whole world." In truth, : the scenery at and near Lcwistown, is oi" that pleasing character which never tires the eye, even if viewed a thousand times, j It was but recently that a gentleman just • returned from a European tour, remarked ■ that of all that was wild, picturesque and grand, which came under his observation in France, Italy, (Jermany and Switzerland, he saw none that exceeded the views in anu near Lcwistown. FATAL ACCIDENT. —Bernard McXcllis, a liana 011 the tie train on this division, was killed at Maviettta few weeks ago by falling under a train, of which his brother was flagman, while riding from Columbia westward. lie endeavored to assist in cut ting loose some cars from the traiu, the local freight, when he was thrown under the wheels. A portion passed over his head, crushing off the entire back, part killing him instantly. '1 he deceased was unmar ried, about thirty-five years #f age. and resided at Newton Hamilton. SUDDEX DEATH. —Rev L. 11. Beveridge, Pastor of the Sixth I'nited Presbyterian Church of Philadelphia, died suddenly at the residence of Col. Wm. Cummins, Kishacoquillas Valley, on Wednesday of last week. Mr. Beveridge had just finish ed his dinner, and when rising from the table, fell dead without speaking. Mr. B. was a young man of rare attainments, and the editor of the Evangelical Repository, a monthly periodical, published by the denomiation to which he was attached.— He was the son of Rev. Dr Beveridge, Professor in the United Presbyterian Theo logical Seminary, at Xenia, Ohio. His re mains were taken to Philadelphia for in terment. ZOUAVE COMPANY. —A large number of young men met at the Apprentices' Hall on Thursday evening last for the pur pose of taking preliminary measures to form a volunteer company of Zouaves, and after appointing various committees, adopt ed the following resolution : liesolved, That we will not, while on pa rade or in uniform, under any pretext what ever, touch, taste or handle any malt or spir ituous liquor, wine or cider; neither use any profane or luose language. teg-We hear a report of a serious fracas up the river by which a roan was consider ably injured with a knife.
