By a statement in another column, it will be seen
that the Committees appointed by the several
counties of this Senatorial district, separated with
out agreeing upon a basis of representation and de
termining rules. for future Senatorial Conferences
While we deeply regret that any questiotils should

monious action of corning Senatorial Conferences,
engendering division an ill•feeling and hazarding
the sucee.q. , of the DetfMeratie party in the next
election, we leel certain-every D,'moerat will agree
that Bratlf ,, rd ha= asked for nothing which is not
elect*, right, and that her representative's bad nu
course left them other than that pursued.
The proposition made by iivadlord in pursuance
of the resolution unanimously adopted by the Dem
ocratic meeting at May court was, to take as the
basis of representation, either the population : ta:a
-1 des qr democratic vote of each county—a proposi:
founded upon true democratic principle, and
lair and liberal to her sister counties. This would

the other counties as will be seen by, the following

Showing that finulfoirl, while she has a greater
to:inber of taxablesalso polls a larger Democratic
vote than both Susquehanna and Wyoming corn
lotted. All she asks, hoWefer, is an equal num
ber of Conferees with both the other counties.
Ti:e justice of this demand will at once be appa
rent. It is in consonance with the arrangement
which the Senatorial nominationshiave been
11:.ide, , in.the Districts heretofore comprising oSus ,
rinehanna and ‘Vyomic.g—the former having Mir;
arid !he latter Iwo Conferees. It is neither mpdest
nor proper for Wyoming, to ask now to have, her
irdt uence increased, when joined to - acsnunty much
I 11-2... r than the was associated with before.
Under the arrangement proposed by Bradford,
the increase of influence would be merely negative
on her part . She cou'al do no more, towards nom
i:ruing a Senator, without the concurrence of one
of tlieZAher counties, than if she had but the num
tier they propose. ft would merely place her in a
position which she is entitled by her strength, to
a ,, tert her own rights should they be encroached
'upon by smaller counties. We hope she would
never have occasion to exercise that power. And
we know; that under nd arrangement would she
consent to and ratify such encroachments.
We believe the Democracy of Bradford will sus
lain the action of their committee and continue to
racist upon what she has claimed; That claim is
founded in justice, and in accordance with demo
cratic asages.
—Since the above was written weltare
riceiv
-ed the Wyoming Democrat, the editor of Which was
present, containing an account of the meeting. The
meeting of the 11"ydrling and Sus9uehannaconr
rees, passed the lollowing resolutions:— `,
Resolved, That each of the counties composing
this Se .. n atorial district be entitled to an equal num
ber of Delegates in the Senatorial Conference. and
that the number shall be three front each county.
Rewired, That the Senatorial Conference of this
F'Pnatorial,District, be held:hereafter, at the house
.1 Isaac J I.aßarre, in Braintrim townhipt, Wyo.
minr, county,. on the first Thursday after the first
Monday of September.
Reaohed, That these proceedings be published in
ihe Democratic pape_is of this district.
The editor of the Donocrat (who is said to hare
a longing fur the Senators}rip)• makes the follow.
rig comments upon the meeting:—
The position assumed be the Bradford delegation.
was wrong and unitistifishle in every respect. In
the first place, Bradford is wrong in claiming more
,'than an equal tipmber of Conferees with the odor
counties. In thje second place, the conferees took a
ortirange and not arrantable view of their instrue-
Mins. There nothing in their instructions that
null Justify them in refusing to vote- and their
withdrawal frOm the conference. The arguments
used to su , tain the erroneous position %Ikea by the
delegation, *ere untenable, and shonid• nen have
I,een resorted to by the respectable gentlemen corn
nosingit. What their determination is we do not
knew ; hot their is one thing we dc .know, and that
is, that Wyoming teat never retreat from 'what use
deems the right.
The two first assertions may pass for what they
are worth. Rd the Bradford delegation rhost be

At the time of putting our lasts issue to press, a
violettiostorm was raging,whrchcommeticing Thurs
day noon, confirmed with unabated violence until
Saturday morning. . Its effects, have been most
wide spread and dilate**. In this 'county, the
damage has been immense. The various tributa
ries of the Susquehanna--particularly the Towanda
and Sugar Creeks,—were swollen in it few hours,
to a greaser degree than ever before known, and
have left along their whole course pansfill and pow
erful evidence of the terrific ability of the element
to doMiselief.
A tide a short distance op the Towanda Creek,
on Saturday displayed tow many sad' views of the
damage at al distress which had been +toed by the
sudden and unexampled rise of that streitt . m Com
mencing at the beautiful and fertile fiats at the
mouth, which, covered with sea abundant a harvest
as ever blessed the labors of the husbandman, were
in some places submerged by the waters to the in
jury of the crops,—the farmers along the creek its
entire distance have sullered greatly by the loss of
grain and grass, and by the destmetionof their land,
from the force of the rushing and swollen torrent.
But le vv.if any farmers, located on the creek, escap
edt uninjured. As a specimen of the destruction
done, we understand that some twenty acres of the
farm of A. L. CRAMMER, E,q. of Monroeton were
`orally ruined, the soil being completely washed
off by the pater.
4 11 - e presume, not a mill on - the stream has es
caped unttijured The Foundry of E. F. Toctin,
at Mortroeton, was almost totally ruined, while his
house and barn and garden spot were swept away
by the flood. So unexpected was the disaster, that
most of the furniture was carried off in the house.
Ifis loss is very hiary. The dam anal race con
nected with the mills of Col. 0. F. Mason are in.
jured to the extent of 82000. I%GliArs'ir factory, suf
feted severely, to what amount we are unadvised ;
WARD'S sash factory at Gneenwisod, was swept
away, and the house of T. 11. Lewis carried from
its foundation to the lands below. Other mills
along the creek have been much injured ; dams
torn out, or where they were strong enough to re
sist the water, the torrent has torn a,channel around
the mill, locating the course of the creek in a new
spot. This stream was six feet higher than ever
before known.

• The Fon ler branch, which empties into Towan
da creek at Monroeton, was particularly destruc
tive, both to mills and crops. The dwelling house
of A erns FowLea Esq. which has for thirty years
been undisturbed by floods, was . partially carried
away. We hear also other accounts or damage
done.

On Sugar creek, we believe the chief damage
has been to the mill dame and on the tarms along
the stream. A good deaf of mischief was effected
—though we hear of no very serious losses. •
We have no data by which to estimate the rig
,grera, le lunount of the loss sustained by this Juli
et, It came - tirthe precise time, most effectual for
damage. The grain, which was just ripening,
had in many instances bees cut, and remained up
en the ground, and there was not timer to remove it
before the floods had swept it away. The abun
dant yid which is promised to the homer will in
some measure recompense k,r the injury sustained,
though in many instances the losses will be . seri

The Susquehanna, though not u high as it has
been, was still high enough to flood the flats in

Many persona in this vicinity lose heavily. The
river below, we understand was covered with
shocks and sheaves of grain, floated from the low
grounds. - Take it altogether the freshet of July,

which the Committee should feel bound to insist

Mr Sarni stated the purport of the instructions
given by Bradford : to offer to the other counties a
representation based upon the relative population,
number of tazables or Democratic vole of the several I
couutie•, an offer which the CoMmlttee thought
both liberal and just.
Mr. Bil.r.srin, said that the Committee from Sus.
quehanna were instructed in like manner to the
Wyoming Committee, and did not feel at liberty
to depart from their instructions.
The justice and propriety of the several proposi
tions were fully discussed in the MGM friendly
spirit, byihe gentlemen respecting the several coun
ties, without effecting any arrangement .The reso
lution of Mr. Berme, being seconded by Mr. Bet-
Lien, the former gentlemen insisted upon a vete.—
The chairman requested the it would not bot per

Mr. tioolousaa-said, that he knew not whether
the Chairman would pat the resolution to a vote,—
For one be wished-it distinctly understood that he
did not recognize the fight of the meeting topes!
any resolutions by a majority vole, and should the
resolution be adopted it would in no manner be
bunting upon Bradford county.
The CHAIRMAN stated that to avoid misconeep
lion or censure he had stated before proceeding to
consider the subject which had convened them
together, that the business of the meeting could re
ly be satisfactorily broiled by mutual agreement;
that no counties or county ought to come them to
vote down another, but he trusted a embnisnee
would arrange the matter harmoniously and satis
factorily. lie did not consider that any potion - of
meeting should attempt to outvote the other.,-
that be could not recognize the right to do to—i.and
as the gentlemen insisted upon having a vole upon
his resolution, with a view of settling the matter
as there proposed, be would vacate the chair,which
being done, the meeting separated. •
A meeting was subsequently held by the &urine
harms and Wyoming members, the result of which
did not transpire.
While it is to be regretted that an arrangement
could not been made so as to leave no questions of
representation to be settled by the Senatorial Confe
rence, the Committee from Bradford did not feel at
liberty to deviate from the plain and imperative
instructions passed by the meeting to which . they
owed their appointment, which ate as follows:
Resolved, That the Committee of Conference
be instructed to insist nixes such a representation
in the Senatorial Conference, as will reeogeize the
relative population, number of tumbles, or demo.
Male votes of the several counties.
They preferred rather to lay their action Witte
the Democracy of the County, and refer the matter
beet to them for their consideration and action at
the September Convention, not doubting that *wit
reasonable and just propositions they had offered,
will be strictly and unflinchingly adhered to. I ,The
Committee would add,dud while they were lariat&
to, effect the desind arrangement, the melting

tbe Free Soden generally. - He dealt very freely
with motives, charging the Free Soders with de

were the indications given by the , late California
Caucus, as rumored. His speech was as dirket:-

This, of coarse, he will allow me to say, since he
himself has dealt so* freely,. with motives. But
whether or not, that is my opinion of him, and it
would be the opinion of his constituents it they had
enjoyed the opportunities to study his character

Whigs whom he represented is having undergone
a remarkable change. Once, said he, they to a
man stood for freedom, as asked in thel. California

with the new Premier, that Slavery was forbidden
by the law of Nature to go to the Territories ?
He complimented the Southern ohms as proving
kithiul to their cortehteemies ; and expressed his
regret That Northern Representatives could tit catch
the fire of their example, instead of crteiehug and

which were listened to with ,great interest all
around. This was shown when Cobb of Alabama
interrupted with the question whether he would
vote for a Slevegokkr for the Presidency (which.
he answered by saying that he would not unless
be agreed , with him (Waxor) it to the proper
course of the General Government with reference
thereto,)--the unusual interest kb in his remarks,
,
I say, was shown by the appeal to Cosa to with
hold his interruption. -
It is a fact in point, whiCh is well worthy of no
tice, that the speeches . ott:the great question of the

and ever will be so till the end of time, while

, The death of Sir Robert Peel is the most promi
nent item of news brought by the America. The
immediate effect of his decease , will be to strength
en the whig &Misery, as he was thought to be the
only person who could have formed a cabinet in
the event of their retirement. The ultimate results
of his death, however, will be inconsiderable. He
had long lost the confidence of the high tory party,
and latterly had lost that of the moderates or con
servaiiies. Lord Stanley, and before. him, Lord
George Bentinek, had become the exponent of the
apvicakeral interest,io the exclusion o Teel, ever
since the latter became the Idvocate # Imo trade.
