The, following article -is taken from the
v„ ae r, of July Ifith, in noticing the action of two
0 ,,,, u b e1 e of the .It constituted Standing Cont.
t ome. It Will be seen that their authority set t

To the Democracy of Toga we INA to present .a

i; ow been customary with the Democracy of
County to meet annually in mssi conve nt io d
if , May, to prepare for the ensuing tail's election,
to appoint a Standing Committee for the' cur
,„ I year. From some cause, no meeting was held
ls.e. May. Consequently, there was no committee
a ppointed, and to allappmtrance the form of atgani
,,,on died, sans cermionse.
A few weeks ago, however, mine of the aspired%
hereabon:s *recommended that the old CoMinitlee
mn nt the right to ad, and to go through . with the
fprvila of a rightful committee, and appoint a
c w -oy Convention. The Chairman of ,the COM.
aiti•oe for 1849, therefore appointed a meeting of
the tnembdra to be held in Wellsboro on:Jatunlay
Sault-day came—and so did tWo of the Committee
wg C. of Richmond, and Jiratmun
Boot, of Liberty. A. 3. Sonetn resided bere t
malong three, oUt of nine, who felt.diaposed to. pay
sec attention to the matter. Mr. %PUT expremi
ed himself in optioaition to any action of the Corn
ainee. as they bad no power to iiet for a longer
period than their appointment designated. There
.rere no other members in attendance, and Mr.
Ripley reu sed to act ,. • and went home. After this
Messrs. Black and Sofield mei alone hose the
c o mer Chairmib, and the latter Secretary--and ap
pointed Committees of Vigilance, anti fixed upon a
time for holding a-County Convention. Their pro.
ceetlings e'ta give below, as a matter of political
a tanag,ement.
Now we contend—first, that the old Committee
h a d no right to act at all—baring lost its power by
limitation. And secondly, that if it had, it would
require a majority to form a quorum; Therefore,
the meeting of the Committee, the action by only
two of them ,
and the County Convention they have
called, are all irregular, and without any binding
fern whatever.
What right had the last years committee to
Fume to act, m7re than belonged to any other nine
men! None ivhatever, as four of them already
llerlared, and as three others may be presumed to
have felt, tram the fact of their .non-attendance
But if diey had, Where did Messrs. Black and So-
Pla'get their power to act for the whole coln m ince?
We rail att'ount for this: Mr. Black wanted to be
metaled for the Legislature. and thought in such
convention as he has Called he could succceed.—
Mr. Sofield may have had an equal interest, thorioh
to another shape. Our reader can see the plan by
ahich certitinld stagers" are to be. kept upon the
riper asind thmugh a mock "regularity."
%Ve advise the democracy' to beware how they
rnrnmit themselVelt to this 'scheme. 'lt shall be
cur ,!nty nt sin the whole batch of intrigues which
ire concocted by the ambitious tricksters, and hold
them tip to public scrutiny. At the. proper time
jeme ariion will be taken, with the concurrence of
`tae real true-hearted democracy of the County,
uhwh will ensure a complete and triumphant sue
et,*
not our trienas be hasty in action. Wait
and ihtrk. We 'shall pursue the subjebt df the

The cashier of the Mineral Bank of Maryland
vrites us that his Bank is all right. So did the
Cavlter of the Havre de Grace Bank write not a

tie these Cashiers as cloaks to cover their rascality,

A shnckieg accident beret last ,evening ' s train
from Albany, when near the Washington Summit.
While going at the rare of 26 miles an hour, the
forward axle of the second passenger car broke,
letting it down on the track, and in this condition
it was dragged along for at least 300 Yards, the
broken axle, &c. breaking through the floor of the
ear, and flying. up anion; the crowded passengers

was much hart by the handle of the seat being
thrust into the flesh of his leg.
Three ladies were seriously injered and rendered
unable.to proceed, but livers Well cared . for at the
place of the accident. A number of others injured,
but it is hoped and believed as yet but slightly.—
Among there was Mrs. Colwright, of Siiickbridge;
Col. Mountford, one of the killed, was accotopaln

on seeing the mangled and lifeless temains of her
