Meeting, of the Stasaing Committee. The Democratic Standing Committee of Brady ford -County, are requerged to meet at the office ef t *saes Meteor in this Bore', on Saturday the 25th day of July info, at I o'clock, P. M. The linen dance of eiety Wernher of the Committee is ear nestly. solicited The following named persons compose said Committee:— . E. O. GOODRICH, • THOMAS STEAD, G."Wi ELLIOTT, ' C. G. GRIDLEY, E. W. JONES, C H. HERRICK, A. D. SPA.LDING, WM. BLAKE, NATHAN MAYNARD The Nest Legislature. Our Democratic friends'ilioughout the Common wealth; are preparing in good earnest for the bat tle this fall, which shall redeem-the Legislature of the Keystone from- Federal rule. Already, the sounds of battle came from other' sections, and the - augnries are cheering, for the triumph of Dern bcratic principles. For years there has not been —"Mich can s for activity and zeal in the Democratic party.. A combination of disasters has lost to us the majority in the Senate, and hazarded our as cendancy in the House. Already the State is ex periencing the evils of Federal misrule—the - North fiditicularly, finds herself betrayed and duped in her darling measure--corporations have multiplied, While a host of banks, as numerous as the locusts of Egypt, are now demanding spefial legislation at the people's expense. There is much in the approaching contest, which Should cheer and invigorate the true Democrat' for the battle , --which should nerve him to the utmost, in endeavoring to avert from the state the evils tvhich have already been engendered. There is cause for action—immediate and constant action.— tile-money power which is already at the door of our Legislature, will be wielded, and its influences extended to every county in the State, it) defeat the .Democracy and overcome the true champions of the people's rights. Eight millions of Bank capi tal has signified its intention to ask of the legisla ture to legalize its swindling operations. Unless that body shall contain a majority - of true and tried Republicans, we may expect to see a mighty batch tif irresponsible and corrupt banks, created to plu me under cover of legal authority their illegAl op. erat ions. Upon the next Legislature, too, devolves the du ly of districting our state. The manner in which this shall be 'done, is of immetite importance to the Democracy. • Those who have no wish to see Its " gerrymandered" to shit the Whig party, will see at once the necessity of preparing far the fall's Campaign. The whigs are already out the alert.— they will make a desperate effort to succeed in their plans, by open opposition where-it is possible —by covert and secret plots, where open warfare is impossible. The Democracy must beware of their tricks. They have already learned, by sad experience how much ?Ciente tan•be placed upon their professions. They pledge, but to deceive— promise, but to betray. In the North, the North Branch Canal Will be used to effect a Federal majority in the next Leg islature. The. past, we should suppose, would for. bid Inch an attempt, bat Federalism is fertile in expedients.- To break in upon the Democratic phalanx of the North, we may expect to see the swindle of last fall re-enacted. We cautio nDem aerate to beware of all suth schemes. 'Come from what gnawer they may—the true object Is to give a Federal majority in the next Legislature. Expe rience has: taught us that to a majority of Demo crats in the next Legislature must we look for a law authorizing the immediate prosecution of the North Branch. Those who would willingly hazard our ascendancy in the Legislature under pretence of biendship for our Canal, have ulterior objects in *rear; find are not influenced by any desire, ex.: cept that of pamonal aarandizemetit, or by the worst species of Demagb,sueism. The true policy of the Democracy of Bradford, is to pursue their usual course, and elect two trial and zealous friends of the North Branch. Any other course would pied:nee Mil instead of good results. rTh7. t.rrT7-Tll rw rn ww TI, The quota of State Tax due from Bradford Coun ty was paid in the State Treistny on the sth inst., she being the first county to pay her taxes. This is the fourth year that Bradford has been one of the Cast counties Which paid into the Suite Treasury thar,State Taxes, thus saving to the County and the people, an abatement of between four and five hundred dollars per annum—the abatement for the two last years being extended so thets*payers.— This desirable result defects great credit upon the patriotism and punctuality of our tax-payers, as well as upon the Treasurer of the county, who by his exertions, has contributed to bring it about. The people of Bradford, who have such a deep interest in the construction of the North Branch ca nal, have nobly done their part, in promptly fur nishing the administration with their portion of the burden of taxation, and it remains to be seen whether their spirit of patriotism will be recipro cated by those in power, whose influence can al most to a certainty secure this great work. it THE Sr. LlWatNet Rum:Famous," published sr Ogdensburg, in the county in which SILO Watson resided, has been greatly enlarged and improved. ne Republican is a sound and able republican sheet, and we are truly rejoiced to sat such indubitable an evidence of its success.

On motion the follow ing gentlemen were appointed a committee to draft ,resolutions expressive of the sense of this meeting. J. Boroiii,E. W. Jones, Geo. W. Browning, Na than Stevens 2d,..1. Beaumont, Gould H. Lewis, and B. Bostwick, who retired for the purpose for which they Were appointed. Dtiring the absence of the committee the meeting was addressed by gentlemen present upon the subject for which they were convened. The committee being announced they eported through their chairman, J. Borows Esq., the following preamble and resolutions which were unanimously adopted. , Whereas we the people of Pike here assembled, learning with astonishment that Isaac B. Ross has lately been furnished with documents from the Post Office "Department, authorizing the removal of the Pike post - office, and whereas it appearing from the statement of Mr. Ross that he or his friends have never asked his appointment, and whereas any material alteration of the location will essentially incommode almost all appendant upon this office fir mail facilities, and having experienc ed under a former administration all inconvenien ces we now apprehend, we deem it right and prop er that some public expression be had upon the sub ject, therefore Resolved, That we in Pike have always supposed that it was the right of those interested to rink the removal of Post Masters and the appointment of others, as also the location of offices and any alter. ation without the knowledge of any, not even the one appointed is a new feature with republicans. Resolved, That we trace at Washington the marks of certain ding fingers, that we are not alto. gather unfamiliar with, and would caution the ad ministration against those who disregard the impor tant doctrine of minding their own bcsiness. Resolved, That thee two out of five of the re spectable whigs of this nzighfiorhoud ask the remo ve) of this office, we will submit without a murmur. But then we would thank the department to appoint one suitably located for the public accommodation. Resolved, That the alteration made at at present would materially discommode almost the• entire population dependent npon this office for mail facil ities as well as enhance the expenses of the depart ment. Resolved, That a committee of three he appoint. ed to wait upon the present Post Master, and res pectfully request him to resign his appointment. Rest:rived, That Reed Bosworth, Francis P. Wa teiman and IL W. Coolbaugh constitute said com mittee. Resolved, That We would prefer that the office be entirely vacated to its present location, and that any one who will take the trouble to be informed, can readily understand its convenience. Resolved, As our deliberate opinion that of those who would ask for the present location, nine out of ten would be jnst.aa well accommodated were the Office located in the center of California. Resolved, That we will ask nothing bot what is right and will never submit quietly to so outrageous a wrong as that under consideration. Resolved, That the removal of the Pike Post Office or any other post office without consulting those deEtmdent upon that office for mail convenien ces is an arbitrary exercise of power incompatible with the spirit of our free institutions. Resolved, That injustice to a community by the powers that be is a sore presage of its destruction, and that we_cannot believe that Mr. Ross will suffer himself to hold- this appointment under the present state of facts, unless he wishes his own, and the pattys political condemnation. Resolved, That the department shall not be ig norant of the facts in this case, and that a commit tee be appointed whose business it shall be to ferret out the influences which have brought about this outrage. - Resolved, That we will not cease an honorable exertions fur the restoration of this office to a'prop er location. Resolved, That the president of this meeting be requested to communicate to the Post Master Gem ent, the particular facts in this case, and disabltse the department of any misrepresentation than may have been there received. Resolved, That our proceedings 'be published in the papers of this county and that the papers at Washington be requested to copy. feigned by the Officers.)

On motion the Rules of the House of Representa tives were adopted for the government of the Con vention. Mr. Walter of Union County, asked if Union County , on account of tier politics, had been strick en oat from the list.

Mr. Schoonover offered the following as an arced. meat to the amendment "That each disputed seat be taken up in its or der and be disposed of before the bar of the Con vention." Mr. Whalon hoped that the original resolutions would pass. He thought that it proposed the pro ' per course, and • would take much less time. Mr Boyer-moved that the further consideration of the . contested seats be postponed until the after noon session. At the suggestion of one of the delegates, Mr. Boyer withdrew his Motion and the Convention I d resumed the conside ion of the contested seats.

Bleck of Northampton, 55 T. M. Pettit, of Philadelphia, 60 Judge Pettit was declared the President of the convention. On taking the chair Mr. Pettit said: Gentlemen —For the honor which you have just conferred, I return my sincere and cordial thanks. No man with a just sensibility of nis own imperfecti-is can fail to appreciate the high compliment which is neces sarily involved in his being freely chosen by so many , of his emineut fellow citizens to the post of presiding officer. From want of experience in in the performance of lbe duties peculiar to snub a position I shall require, I fear, more than the usual allowance of assistance & indulgence at you, bands. Relying upon your candor and your kindness, I can only promise my best efforts to meet faithfully your reasonable expectations. In looking over the list of Delegates to this body, we cannot but be impressed with the gratilYinglacl that the Democracy of Pennsylvania . has sent hr r t FO many of her most distinguished sons. Assem bled in the great ;growing and prosperous tit) of the west, you represent all the .powerful Interests of our - glorious Commonwealth. It is the pride of our party that it has ,po interests but those of the manse* of the people—no object but the welfare of the Stale. These interests and this object de pend in a degree which it is not easy to estimate, upon the selection by this convention of a candidate for the dffice of Canal Commissioner; for I assume, it to be a fact as certain as . human anticipations will permit any assumption to be, that the nomin ation is to triumph, through the calm and majestic power of the Democracy as displayed at the. ballot box in October next. There is one other topic to which I beg leive, very briefly to lilted. It is.the characteristic of freemen to cherish and to express their preference among the individuals brought into view for stations of public trust. But lam persuaded that the firm nese,*thef zeal, and the energywhich may mark these preferences upon this ' aion, will - be min gled with and chastened by ,such a spirit of kind ness and forbearance towards others as will pro dime a wise, harmonious, acceptable and happy remit.. .. With cheering hopes in regard to the suc cess of your labors,•confirmed and invigorated by the proud and exhilarting associations of this immortal day, .I enter with unfeigned diffidence as to myself upon the duties to which you have called -me.
