COMMITTEES OP VIOII.ANCE.'—At a
Meeting Of the Democratic, Standing Corn
triittee of Bradford county, convened in the borough
- of Towanda, on the rah dsV of August, IF-47, pursu
ant-to notice, the persons hereafter mimed were ap
. pointed C . lrninitters of Vigilance iii their respective
election districts, whose duty it will betocali ll a meet
ing of the Democratic electors in each of t cir se.
treat boroughs and ton-m.10p%, on Saturday. the 4th
of September.next. for the purpose' of electing tan
persons tD represent said electors in the Democratic
County Convention, to be held in the borough of
Towanda, on Tuesday'. the l'th day of y epiember.
1847,f0r the purpose of nominating suitable persons
for candidates to be supported at the pomiii gene
ral election and for such other purpose- as said
Contention may deem conducive to the progress of
Doniortatic principles.
It is very desirable that full attendance be given
at the priniark meetings, and to secure this, timely
notice of the )tour and re,pective places of holding
the Delegate elections should be girpn,and the polls
kept open a sufficient len g th of tit* to give ail an
opportunity of voting- This will iifford a (role in
,lei -change of opinion amongst the Democratic citi
zens of each district, and enable the delegates aeut
to the County convention, to correctly repeesent the
sentiments of their constituents.
The approaching election is one of vast impor
tance to the IntcreA, integrity and prosperity of our
Commontrea/th. The election of Gocern,,r, is of
eufficient importance to call forth all the activity and,
deceitful artifices of the Federal patty ; and fur the
purpose of counteracting that activity, aiiti detecting
and exposing those deceptions, it becomes el cry
Democratto he on the alert—to assist in the refuta
tion of falsehood and the advancement of truth.
The Standing Committee, therefore, recommend
the appointment by the democratic citi.ens, at their
seCeral delegate elections, of One or more persons,
ro each school district, as a committee, to continue
rOl the general election, and whose duties will be to
r . lirm a more perfect organitation, and advance' the
~-reat cause or democtacs..J

has been roost vigilant and persevering in his ef

more money has been realized in the State Tyr' I. ,

the demands upon the Treasury.
And not the least of the causes to swell the amount
of funds in the Treasiny was the promptness with
which the counties responded to the call of the
Criminonwealth in contributingtheir quota of the
taxes. Bradtimi county alone paid into the state
Treasury more than hi/ s hoe kind dellorß. What
arn•nlar credit, we ask belongs to the state Trea

we have no wish to denY or conceal, hut we do

What Federalism has been Guilty of.
In order to show what the federalists have been
guilty of at different periods. since the framing of
the (onsututiou of the United States, we present be
low under. mere heads only, a few of their most IL-
LiAlums acts. As the enemies of democracy are
continually making promises of what they wild, do.
is but just and right that the people should know
what they triva done. They have always been fa
mous for making-fair promises. only to be broken,
and only calculated to cheat and deceive.
1 In the Conventiowthat framed the Constitution
of the United States. they advocated a system of
government resembling that of England. several of
them declaring that the corruption of the British go
vernment was the best part of it.
2. They tried to insert in the saute Constitution
the power to create a National' Rank, but were vo
ted down hr the Democrat,.
3. After the adoption of the Constitution with
out surh power, they construed away its plain
words. and estahlished a National Bank in viola
tion of it.
4. They carried the funding system. and there
by corrupted the Congress. many ol - whose mem
bers. having, larze certificates of public debt bought
'for nothing. enriched thernselve by their own votes.
at the expense of the government and its honest
creditors.
5. They proclaimed that a public debt was a
public blessing,, because they wanted to create such
a debt as a source of private profit. •
6. They passed the: Mien Lavr" to drive from the
country men whose opposition the President desir
ed to get rid of.
7. They passed the " Sedition Law - to muzzle
the press, and destroy the freedom of speech.
S. They appointed the midnight judges : fatten
ing iipon'the public treasury. in opposition to the
public will. a horde of life-o-fficers."
9. They r.:tabh,l,tea. to Iftnn. a Bankrupt Law,
which, like that of 1841, wits a fruitful instrument
of fraud :.ual injustice. •
10. Tht•y anempthd to elect. in the Ilow-c of
Representatives. AARON
. Bt - na. an apostate traitor,
instead of J EFTERSON. a pure patriot, who was clear
ly indicated as the people's choice.
11. After Jefferson's election, as well as before
it. rhea slandered him night and day, without inea
sure, decency rt
12, They oppo'ed all Jefferscni:s measures,
though they were ww ire. just. and necessary; and
more especially laid themselves out to thwart lam
in 10.4.141 . 0 as to make England do us justice
13. Thew• entered into a conspiracy to dismem
ber the Republic. and place the'Ea.•stern States un
der the protection of England
11. They got up the Hartford Convention, and
appoved of its -treasonable purposes.
15. In the diplomatic comrovery beiueen the
United Stats and En,gland, which preceded the
war. they did their hest to disgrace their o*n
country, and to enconrage England in her course
of hisult and wrong. by proclaiming through their
presses, that America "could not be.kicked into a
war. -
16. After the declaration of the war, they gave
aid and corp.:tort - to the British,
17. Soon idter the war, they commenced the sys
tem of changing their party name, which t h ey h a v e
since follovied up so successfully, that no t:ccrue ev
er appeared in the Quarter Sessions with a greater
nu!nber of aliases.
18. They elected John Q. Adams in the House
of ffepresentative by a trick, cheating the people
out of the than they • wanted. and approved all the
tomfooleries of the Adams administration, Panama
Mission, Lighthouses of the Skies, Internal ini
provirents by the General Government, and all.
11. They slandered Gen. Jackson, as before they
had slandered Jefferson. and though elahnin,g to
have " all the decency." their repeated erne! and
fal-e attacks on the wife of the patriot hero, brought
her to the grave. .
20. They sustained and supported the Rank 'of
the l'inted States in all its corruptions, giving it
aid mid eontint•' in every attempt it made to plun
der the people and the government.
22. When the French Governmen refused to'pay
the indemnity, they pleaded the came of Lotis
Phillippi. artd poorer{ torrents of abuse on die gray
head of their own patriot -President for daring to de
mand pcitice trout a foreign king.
22. They carried the election of 1840 by con
cealing their prin 2 Wes from the public eye; and
raising -a ery about log cabins, hard cider, rams'
horns. spoons, d6-it cloths and chamber setts
-23. They atteMpted to establish . tined:Pr United
States Hann, although they knew that the two tot
'per were more engines of rorruption. •
24. They estahliSheii a littriknipt Law. by which
it is estitnated, that. honest • creditors were, cheated
out office hirsidred millions in one year.
25. They quarrelled with the President of t4eir

"'NOT VEAD Bcr SLEEPING."—rA foreign journal
mentions a remarkable case of a female supposed
to be dead, and who came near being buried alive,
but was saved from premature interment most mi
raculcruslv. The girl had sickened and died, -(as
her friends thought) she was laid out as usual. and
remained to all appearance as a corpse for 3:days.
when the time arrived which-was appointed for the
burial. When the undertakers came to serew down
the lid of the coffin, a slight perspiration was noti
ced upotf her skin. which being immediately re
garded, an examin4on was mae. life was found
to be in the body, and she was restored to 'health.
The most interesting part of he circumstance is
the account that the girl gives of her own- experi
ence during the inanimate state. She said she ap
peared to dream that «he was dead, but was sen
sible to everything that, was passing around her,
and distinctly heard her friends bewail her death
she felt them envelope her it the shroud and place
her in the coffin.. The sensation gave her extreme
agony, and she attempted to -speak, but her soul
was unable to act on her body.
She described her sensation ashen contradicto
ry, as if she Were in and out of her body at the
same instant. She listerripted in. vain to move her
arms, and. open he; eyes, to• speak. The agony
was at its height when she heard the funeral hymn,
and found they -were about to nail down the coffin.
The horror of being buried alive , +ave a new im
pulse to her mind. which resumed' its power over
its corporeal organization, and produced the effects
which excited the notice of thews who were about
to convey her to a 'premature grave.
