IMIZ! OM R' . ednesday, N*vember 27, 1344. United States Senator. The Prezi.lential campaign is over.— Vite Republicans of the Union have achieved an important victory,—a viet• jry Ottiit tlCterinine for a long 1'..1111C to voino, the iteßsares and ',es upon v,hielt , the government is tot- a , tn i„i;. - t-red. In this great cont:2F e, Pennsylva nia lms led the way, w i tl has gloriously maintained her high r,olitical position as litty stone of eat% Federal Arch. An tnlie: duty is b.: - ire us, in I; . riwielt is in- 'v , ve'Ll the hest interests of our own NIP te any] 4190 in a measure, the inter vstrwelfare of the people of the whole I .}num We mean the election of ayrited Statm-zenator to represent this grF i at State in the &Inas of the Nation, i.n the place of our talented and worthy Senator, ,r the Hon. DanierSturgeon.-L The selection of a United States - Senator at the present time is all important.‘Vje . new administration is coming into pow er, solemnly pledged to carry out the great principles of democracy to which it owes its elevation. In taking a calm and sober review of this importantsul ject, we. are brought to the conclusion, .that Northern Pennslyvania is justly en ' titled to the honor of furnishing the next United States Senator; and with due deference to the claims and high charac ter of all the gentlemen spoken of, we 'present the name of the HON. DAVID Wilitox, member of 'Congress elect, from the twelfth district: The unprece dented unanimity with which he was nominatedr-the overwhelming majorities which he received throughout his district are the high testimonials which we offer to the Democracy of Pennsylvania, of his fitness and abilities to serve them in the high political .capacity for which we now respectfully present his name. During the present campaign no man in the State has acquitted himielf with higher hoirr, or more usefulness, than Mr. Wilmot. As a debater, he will compare with the most able and eloquent men of the day. We need only refer to the late State Convention of the 4th of March, for evidence of his abilities both as , an orator and sound reasoner; 'and it is only doing justice to Northern Pennsylvania to say; that in a conven tion embodying great talent, Mr. Wilmot was acknowledged itis leader. His sub sequent unanimous nomination, and _triumphant election to Congress, has fully justified the high,hopes entertained - by the democracy of the State of his ,po litical elevation. ,W e' hazard nothing in saying, that the popularity .of Mr. Wilmot, personal iintl political, justifies the belief that he will be an acceptable candidate to the Democracy of Pennsyl vania, for a seat in the United States Senate, as -a colleague of our distinguish ed and gifted sonfJames Buchanan.— We present the name of 'David Wilmot ' with great confidence in his success.— He is among the mast gifted of our pub lic men, and we feel an assurance which appertains almost to a certainty, that the 'high and paramount claims of Northern Pennsylvania 'will not be overlooked or ,disregarded. THE U. S. SENATE.—The election 4,1 a Whig Legislature in Delaware gives the Whig party' another U. S. Senator, making 26 Whigs to 25 De mocrats. It depends -upon Virginia to . give the,preponderanceXn that_body.-- Should . that State clecta 'Whig, there will be two Whig maArity. Should it elect a Democrat, that party will have the majority, as Mr. Dallas, the Vice President of the United States, will be ex,officio - Presidßt of th4'Senate, and have casting vote. The vote of the Virginia Legislature is . looked for with much interest. DEATH OF COL• K-LINE.-001. Jacob Kline, President of the Mechanics' and Manufacturers' Bank of Trenton, died very suddenly in that city. on Friday, of disease of the heart.

This leaves t h e Collate tied us before._ Meeting of the 1/eTnoeraey of Brat? loaf, Preseyitn.....tir i n'ot the Banner. Agreeable, to public notice, on Wed nesday th.e 20th inst.. a large concourse of t h e 'democracy of Bradford eonttn the boro. of A thens,for the purpose . witnessing and participating in the ceremonies of the presentation of the Prize Banner, from the Ladies of To wanda to the democracy of Athens.— The ceremony of presentation under the direction of Col. Westbrook, Mar shall, took place on the Public Square st 2 o'clock P.. M. The beautiful Ban ner, was presented to the democracy of Athens' by the Hon. Dayid , Wilmot, in the following chaste eloquent, and ef- festive speech. Fellow-Citizens of :Phew-1 meet you under circucuntstances of peculiar pleasure to myself, and allots. me to add, under circumstances, which cannot fail to afford the people of this district, a theme of proud and abiding congratula tion. In the great contest, through which the Republican party have lust passed, with so much honot and glory— al,contest in which our own state exerted so important and controlling an influence; It is a source of more than ordinary grati fication to reflect, that the democracy of northern Pennsylvania have again nobly vindicated their unalterable devotion to the cause of liftman liberty, and fully justifi ed the claims of this section to the title of the Gibralter Of the democracy of the State. In this life-struggle for the main tenance of the great doctrines of the American Revolution, the 'Whole people have in an emphatic manner participated. It has not been a contest for partvliapies, and party ascendency, nor a mere sertrn ble among those who stood out more prominently upon the field of conflict, for the honor and high places of gov ernment; but a war of opposing princi ples—a great national struggle, in which was involved, the permanence, nay, the very existence of our glorious institutions. It.,will hereafter be regarded as the great political battle , of the age, and the Re publican of after times-will point to the Presidential conflict of 1844 as equal in glory, and as fortunate in its results as that of 1800, when the democracy so signally triumphed under the lead of 'Thomas Jefferson, its greatest apostle and champion. It will justly be viewed as the decisive; andcrowning victory of that protracted war, which the money power has waged against the liberties and equal rights of the people, since the memorable veto of the United States Bank Bill, under the first term of Gen. Jackson's administration. To have par ticipated in the gloryitf such a victory, is in itself a high reward. It has however been the fortune of the democrats of Athens, by their 'gallant and noble efforts, to be entitled to the peculiar honors and high rewards, which await the banner township of Bradford County. In the name, and on behalf of the. Democratic Ladies of the Borough of rowanda, I present you this beautiful Banner.' It is 'given as a testimony of their respect and admiration for the. gal lant manner in which you performed your duty in the late Presidential election, You will also regard it with additional interest, as an evidence of the sympathy which the donors feel in the liberties and happiness of our common country. To them it is not permitted, nor do they desire to'mingle in the heated and too of ten ;Tory, strifes of our political contests. Far inure agreeable to their tastes, the quiet duties of home, and the holy charities of life. To the high impulses of glory and patriotism they are not insensible; yet theyorould exhibit their love of country, rather in sacrifices upon her altar, than in swelling the shouts of trimuph over her. victories. In conclusion, permit me to say, that I am deeply sensible of the honor ^onfered upon rue in being selected to act the part I have so inadequately performed. I shall ever regard this day among the proudest and happiest of my life. I now pre son, vou this Banner, in honor of your " • Ow n p a tootie exertions, and of the great N at i ona l t r;ctory which has been so sig. nOy achieved; and for -which our hum ble gratitude is t. l ue to that (wending Pro vidence:who holds the destinies of Na tipns in the hollow of his hand. The Banner was received on behalf of the Democracy of Athens by Dr. T. T. Huston, who,reptied to the speech of Mr. IVilmot in the following neat and appropriate speech. In behalf of the Democratic citizens of • Athens, I would return thanks to the Patriotic Ladies of Towanda Boro', for the offer, to the election district of our county, of a Prize for the largest in creased vote for President over that for Governor, and for . the splendid Banner which you have now presented to us in full6iment of that pledge. You will please sir, convey to them our best wishes for their health, happiness—and accept for yourself our. thanks, for your flattering, patriotic address on this oc casion. For ourselves, I would say, that we entered into the contest without the least expectation of securing the Prize, and impelled too, by a sense of duty alone. True we had obtained the lean majority of eight. for our worthy can didate for Governor. But our oppo ii-entis - claimed to have cast more than that number of votes for Francis R. Shunk—declared they had actually a majority, and should hive on the Ist of November. In their'sanks were most if not all the business men of our vil lage—they boasted as Usual that they possessed all the wealth, and all the Went, that their coats were (SI and cost what it might, they 'would carry the TOwn.—lNe were not idle.—The day came, and with lithe sturdy De mocracy of our hills and valleys ;—who regardless of consequences to themselves. nobly and . fearlessly, with hottest hearis discharged their duty towards God and their country ; and we achieved a glorious victory ;—little eight became big twenty-five, and Athens was pro claimed a Democratic town—yes my friends we hail from a democratic town —we live in a democratic county—our State is democratic—God bless her.— We have elected Old Shunk Governor of Pennsylvania—and the nominee, Jemmy Polk of Tennessee, is Presi dent elect of these United States—fp). r enough for one day—and might do for four years. In boasting of our own deeds, it is not our wish or intention to exult over our less fortunate Brethren of other districts.. They too have fought and nobly 'fought, and we are aware that circumstances over which they had no control, alone prevented many of them from being equally suc cessful. The victory is achieved, and it matters not who dune most, all have done well ;—we are members of a com mon family—we are brethren in this Keystone State, and can all, without feelings of rivalry rejoice together on this joyous occasion. . 4 F , In conclusion. Fellow-Democrats, in the contest through which we have just passed, we had to contend with all parties—yea every party, faction and fragment of party from the Great Uni versal Whig High Protective Tariff party, flown to that most contemptible of all factions, Native Americanism were arrayed against us.—We met all and they are ours. Our victory is complete* , - 7 though beaten they will not acknowledge themselves vanquished; and are already marshalling their forces for a future conflict. Already have they-cast aside the honorable name they had for a time stolen, but to bring into disrepute ; and under a new name and with a new leader, are preparing for the Battle. Let them come—with the good old name of Democrat and the t•ue de mocratic principles of equal rights 'to all—no privileged few—no monopolies, we can beat them again, and again— and forever, for we are the People and true to ourselves have nothing to lear•. The ceremonies of presenting and receiving the banner being, over the meeting was immediately organized by the appointment of C. H. Herrick Esq. President, and John Watkins, William Scott, C. Guthrie, Luman Kellogg L. Smith, Col. P. C. Ward, Isaac Horton. Cyrus Merrill and S. Squires, Vice' Presidents. E. 0. Goodrich and Dr. F. S. Hoyt Secretaries.

The committee retired a short time when the following able report was made and unanimously adopted. Whereas, The election for Presi dent and Vice Iresident of the United states, has resulted in the triumphant vindication of the doctrines and princi ples of the democratic party of Penn sylvania, and the Union- 7 • Therefore, be it unanimously Resolved, By the democracy of Bradford county, that we feel called upon to make our most cordial congrat ulations to the Republicans of the Uni ted States, for a result so. pre-eminent. ly important in its bearings upon the independence, rnlitical.and social hap piness, and' we.fare of the American People, and, that as patriots, and men w e are called upon, solemnly, to ex press our gratitude to an overruling p rov td e .nce in . the blessings achieved, not on l y (cr ourselves and the pres et" age. b ut 1 ":ir the friends of free gov ernnient every 1 - bere, and for poster. ity : Resolved. That the Treat issues in volved in the momentous tional strug gle through which we bare juM passed, are clearly defined and thoroughly un derstood by the people. That union cemented by the blood of patriots, and which constitues us one people," is preserved in all its ori ginal freshness, vigor, and purity. The rights of the States are respect ed; no infraction upon the rights of in dividuals, or the reserved rights of the people; no latitudinal construction of the constitution of the United States ; but a strict adherence the to sacred instrument, in letter and spirit, ttn conditiono/fobservence in theory and practice of the rights 'and immunities of the people,-so eloquently set forth in the ‘. Declaration of Independence ;" °position toa National Bank reasserted; °position to au assumption of the State debts by the genral government; to a distribution of thi proceeds of the pub! hi: lands ; to internal improvements by the general government of al-undefin ed character, and for purposes not clearly national--these centralizing sc hemes and measures °l i the, Federal party in America, so replete with dan gers; so eminently subversive of the great principles of constitultonal liberty, have received a rebuke: such a rebuke,. too, through the ballot box, as must set tle substantially; and for a long time to, come, the character .of the measures trii; be carried ont, and maintained in the admintetration of the goveinnient. Resolved, That in the election of Co!. Polk, and Mr. Dallas, the 'iover eiglity of the people and their ability for self government are triumphantly vindicated : "Equal and exact jus tice to all mankind," is indelibly im pressed, in letters of living light, upon • the Repubiican banner. Intelligence and - moral virtue, the great elements of constitutional hberty—the superstruc ture upon which rests the edifice of our glorious free institutions:--the hope of freemen, the pride and defence of-Americans. 1. Upon these pillars we rely for the perpetuity and final desti ny of our repUblican form of govern ment ; and notupon the strong, centra lizing measures and doctrines of feder alisin. Resolved unanimously, By the de mocracy of Bradford county, now as sembled, that Thomas Wilson Purr, is suffering punishment for his chival rous support of the principles and doc trines declared and maintained in the Revolution; the Government ofGreat Britian then proscribed John Hancock a nd Samu e l Adams, the Algertnes of Rhode Island have now proscribed Gov., Dorr, from this proscription the patriot '• appealed" to the ultimate tribunal of public opinion. Resolved. As the sense of this meet ing, that in the triumphant election of James K. - Polk, to the Presidencv,-and Geo, M. Dallas, to the Vice Presiden cy., the American people have sustain ed the ,‘ appeal," of Mr. Doi r, reassert ed the principles and doctrines of '7O, and returned a verdict in his favor. Resolved. That in a jest exercise of the Sober second thought," the peo ple.of the United States, have reversed the decision of 1840, and triumphant lyvindicated the republican adminis tration ofthatgreat and good man, Pres *tit Viin'Buren. In the exalted in tegrav, faithful and meritorious servi ces of Col. Polk and Nlr. Dallas, the country have a sure pledge that they wild adhere with bohlness .and fidelity to Ithe democratic principles upon which they have been elevated. !Resolved, That public and private happiners, national and individual pros perity are best promoted by a general defusion of intelligence, and a pervad ing sense of justice, and sound morali ty, and by , preserving the eL , sential principles and features of our 'twin). lions unchanged and unimpaired. In the expressive language of President Monroe, •• if we persevere in the career in which we have advanced so far; and in the path already trod ; we cannot fail. order the favor of a, gracions pro vidence, to attain the high destiny which seems to await us." Resolved. That the 'great names of the retired statesman Andrew Jackson, Martin Van Buren and Richard M. Johnson, live in the hearts of the Amer ican democracy, their services in the cause of civil liberty. and constitution al government, will he a beacon light in the progress of liberal principles un til' the histories page and public ar chieves of the nation, are merged and lost in the general wreck of Empire. Resolved. That James Buchan - an has rendered illustrious, and abithding ser vice in the the Cause of human rights and civil' liberty, in the public councils of his countrv, and that in the great contests of the age," from which the democracy of the nation have merged with signal glory, Mr. Buchanan has earned for himself and State an increasing weight of honor. Resolved. That Francis R. Shunk is justly entitled to . the high character which he enjoys ati a Statesman, a pa triot, and an honest man. Shielded in the omnipotent panoply of his own un sullied and exotted integrity, the vile attacks of the federal party have fallen harmless at his feet; the people now luok forward with inspiring Confidence that under the administrmtion of Gov. Shunki Pennsylvania will once more be herself again, and stand upon her ancient platform of “virtue liberty and indepenilence." Resolved. That we rejoice to know, amVfelieitate the democracy of our sis ter SMtes that the present legislature of Peensylvania is republican in laum• hers and integrity. Not a democrat, no not one can be corrupted, or induced to waver in his duty by the seductive arts, and appliances of Vedeealism—the usa ges of the democratic party will - be re spectedl, and the great land paramount objects and interests Of the State and nation promoted inithlo election of a United!

E. -Pi ollet, and- the meeting adjourned 'with enthusiastic cheers for Gov. Dorr. (Signer .by the Officers.) REMARKABLE PRESENTIMENT.—The Doylestown Democrat records the fol lowing remarkable fact : Beniah Holden, of Nockamixon; died at the advanCed age of 94 years. on the 14th of October, and a correspondent of the Democrat states that, on the Saturday previous to his death, his daughter, with other friends, paid a visit to the old people ; found them in good health and passed a very agreeable evening and morning. The old gentleman was sensible, agreeable, talkative and hap py, and partook of a hearty breakfast, after which 111 'observed—" Now, my friends, this is the last meal I shall ev er eat ; lam about to die." It was in vain that his friends endeavored to dis suade him from such an idea—he the more resolutely persisted in it and said he was called and must obey : but while he yet had breath and the power of speech, ha wished to give some in structions with respect to his worldly concerns, his burial, &c., and immedi ately commeneed. Some few moments after he closed his last direction, he was struck down with a paralytic stroke and never spoke more. He lingered, however, on the brink of death until Monday. morning, when he expired without a groan." • MORE RUMORS AND SPECULATIO'SS.- A correspondent of the Journal of Com merce, at Washington, furnishes the following batch of rumors. It is the% very doubtful whether Mr. Calhoun will remain in the Cabinet. His own fliends are doubtful as to the policy of his doing so. In all probability Mr. Cass will take the State Department, it Mr. Calhoun does not not. Gov. Mar cy, of New York, will be invited to take the Treasury Department. Mr. Mason will either remain where he is or go to England. Mr. Saunders, of North Carolina, will have - the General Post Oflice. Senator Walker will ei ther have a place in the Cabinet, or go upon the bench of the Supreme Court. It is not believed • that Mr. Polk will adopt the proscriptive policy to its full extent. Mr. Cass will be elected to the United • States Senate, if he shoufd not be called into the Cabi net. Such are the speculations already made. We have very little reliance in any of the above reports. It is usual when a clique wishes to effect any par ticular appointments, to , announce it beforehand as a probable occurrence.— Mr. Polk will no doubt be guided by , his ownexperience and judgment, and the advice of his friends in making sui table appointments, and b in no par ticular hurry to do so, or let his deter mination be known until the proper time. He does not assume the presi dential duties until the 4th of March next, some four months off, and can scarcely have been consulted since the certainty. of his election. .
