Cer The Pe:tory/minion chronicles Simon Cam
eron's personal movements, now4-days, and gives
notice that he has gone tobolumbia county adding
par r atbentically, that this is about the time for mak
ing nominations for the Legislature in some of the
northern counties.
By this, we understand.that vigilant deknder of
the rights of the Democratic party, means to gently
insinuate that Simon is laying plans to be elected
U. S. Senator; a consummation the editor does not
seem devoutly to wish for. At 14 FOINET has
,openedhis eyes to Cameron ' s polif I wickedness,
and means that the Democracy shall not be misled
by him ! Most extraordinary vigilance ! Most
worthy sentinel! After the deedis accomplish
ed—the treachery carried out, and the perpetrator
gonci.back to private life--at-once this untiring and
eagle.eyed guardian descovers the delinquency!
Will some kind friend, reconcill to us - the fact,
tl at while the'Pennotranian " (hairs it Mild" on
Cameron, there is a perfect understanding and uni
ty between the Mends of Buchanan and Cameron!
Some are so unbelieving as to assert that this etid
den indignation of the Penniyivirnian •is all a Wm
bug, to cover the perpetration of some dirty tricks
by the two worthies, in conjunction.

OF MONTGONIeRT CO
or Minus Co
The present objects of this clique are directed at
Hon. Drain WILMOT. They are ready to adopt
any means to overthrow and prostrate him He is
odious in their eyes, because be is a bold, consci
entious and barest man, whom no threats can ap
pall, nor patronage corrupt. They view him as the
greatest obstacle in their path, and will not temple
to anything to put him down. Are the Democrat s
aware, that they are now intriguing to secure a
WHIG candidate, to whom they have p romised the
support of Democrats! We know that many of
the prominent men in this opposition to Mr. Wit.-
war have promised their support to a Whig in case
of Mr. %V's nomination. We could name the place,
and oar witnesses, where Several of these *en,
who have been mostly clamerous for regular
nominations," and most denunciatory of his course
publicly pledged their support to JOHN C. ADAMS
should Mr. Wilmot be the regular nominee of Ike Dem
ocratic parry. This is the consistency of these men,
and the fie, which is susceptible of proof r occurring
I in a public bar-room, should alarm every honest
Democrat.
That•they are-ready to do so, we have no doubt,
but that they can carry with then' in their schemes
any pojtion of the Democracy of Bradford we.do
not believe. There are we know, a small portion
of our patty, who do not wholly approve of Mr.
Wilmot's course, and who are honest in their
views. Are they prepared to support JOHN C.
ADAMS, the wing nominee, in opposition to DA
VID WILMOT, the nominee of the Democratic par-
Ate they prepared at once to brand u false
all their professions, because unscrupulous men,
bursting with hate, seek twprostrate Mr. Wilmot?
They cannot be transferred, at the will of these
men, to the support of Whiggery, and at the at
tempt, will cast them off, as dishonest and un
worthy.
To Democrats, this should be the signal for re•
newed and mailing zeal. When the standard of
our party is menaced by such machinations ; we
should rally 'around it With new vigor, and by strong
er exertions seek to uphold it. It will come victo
rious, out of all such contests, if Democrats ate
brat wary and vigilant. They should attend to the
the primary meetings, on the 310. An attempt
will be made on that day, to defeat the expression
of the public voice by trickery and fraud. Let
Democrats see to it; let good and true men be
elected as delegates, who will place in nomination
worthy candidates, and all will be well, despite the
opposition of our common enemy, and the designs .
of the clique around the North Pennsylvernian, who
detested by Democrats, will find in the arms of
whiggery a congenial and fratemr 1 embrace.

After many years toil, he very- recently purchased
his own freedom, but his family were owned by
some one in New Orleans. The President feeling
deeply for his distresses, gave him money and let
him go to Baltimore, to see them again. Williams

woo, were no more deaths yesterday ; alter

day before was tie) awful. Yesterday morning
the day was oin by the news of Kr. Carrell's
death. The next circumstance which cast a still
greater gloom over every hoe was the slow, solemn

There were but a few at work yesterday t o the ar

to attend to business. To allay the fright of the
travelling public, I learned from Capt. Brown,
(conductor,) that the trains for the present would
not stop at the ferry br dinner, but keep on to
Martinsburg. When I lea, this morning, a better
killing seemed to be pining ground, and unless
lbw, so another sad demonstration of death's power
by inns of cholera. things will soon assume a
better aspect. The cholera cases, of which I was
particularly informed by those who knew them,
were getting better, and, ii was believed, would in

lara of the difficulty between UMW FOOT! and
Burma made their report last Mon day The
committee stale, that at the.request of both gentle
men, they summoned witnesses and took much
testimony, which is set forth at large in an appen.
di to the report. The report then gives a history
of the difficulties between the two Benison, com
mencing with Mr. Town's personalities. The
committee pronounce the scene most discreditable
to the Senate, and
sayr
" Its origin most be traced directly to the viola.
lion of that role of order which forbids all person
alities; which, though it allows the member to
speak with the utmost freedom of the measure or
subject before-the Senate, does not allow any di
gression in ordei toteraigii the motives or assail
the charsctei of any other member who advocates
or opposes at."
After dilating upon this theme and the assaults
sometime consequent opts gross personality, the
Committee conclude their report as kAI4.•
•' In the present case, ender all the circumstan
ces, the committee forbeer to recommend any ac
tion to the - Senate. They hope that the strong con
demnauon of the personalities which led to the
threatened violence, their censure of the attempt,
by a member, to avenge himself in the presence of
the Senate, and of the practice of carrying arms in
the Senate chamber, will bee sufficient rebuke,—
Should this hope prove vain and similar scenes of
violence again occur, they cannot doubt that the
Senate will enforce prompt, stern, and effectual
punishment."
SwAantlif i or Gasssnorrcas.--Doring the present
two weeks our city, and surrounding country, haw
been visited by swarms of grasshoppers. They
are to be seen flying through our streets at all hours
of the day, and at night they dash through the
open windows and rut all kinds'of capers around
the lamps and candles} as' well as the beads of
those who, may -be sitting near.. Swarins of them
generally congregate about the street lamps at night,
and, indeed, their visit to town has become so gen
eral as to be quite an annoyance. We do not hear
any complaint of damage done •by them in the
country in this immediate vicinity, but they • are
said to be so abundant in Fayette and Westmore
land counties, Pa., that the young buckAwheat and.
pasture are almost destroyed by them. They are
not, however, confined to any particular section—
from the east, west, north and mouth we have ac
counts of their devastating effects on the growing
crops of corn, oats and tobacco. The Cleveland
(0.) Herald says that along the lake country the
net fields are entirely stripped, grass fields_ eaten
to barrennessa, and the growing corn in some in
stances considerably injured. These destructive
insects have in some instances attacked the apple
orchards, devouring everything but_ the tree and
fruit, and in many cases not even sparing the Milt.
