Pursuant to a call of the Democratic - Standing Committee, and agreeably to Col.

The meeting was organized by the elecion of the following officers: Pmidenl.—HON. JOHN LAPORTE.

The President in some well timed remarks ; in troduced to the meeting the Democratic nominee for Governor, Col. WM. BIGLF.It, who was re ceived with enthusiastic demonstrations of ap plause. Cdl. D. then proceeded to address the meet ing in a speech of considerable length, and to the great sfitisfaction of the assembled Democracy.— The Nor.h Branch Canal first occupied his attention, and in a plain and straight forward manner he ad vacated the immediate completion of the work Col: B. said that it was a subject he should approach „.with great embarrassment, now that he was before the people for their suffrages, but for the fact, that be bad long ago freely expressed his opinions and views um the' matter. He believed that the Ca na) should be completed as anon• ae possibly, that its revenues might constribute to pay off the' debt al yearly Mewed in its construction!. Upon the various questions of State policy, the speech was masterly.and ebnv incing f and dearly demonstrated the ability of the speaker. The sub. jebt of the Tariff watrtiaoroughly diaccwseif f in the manner of which the Democracy of Bradford are so well acquainted, and upon which his plain and practical illustrations shed new light upon the sab. ject. We shall not attempt to follow Col. B. through his able address. It waslistened to with great res pect and auention, and borer throughout the' stamp of Clear and honest,mind, in treating of those questions tmoi:r which' theft is in the Democratic patty such a diversity of senti ment. Col. D. was manly and frenk in espressmg his views. Re said he had no two sets'of opinions suited to difterent localities. And if there were those in his audience, who did not telly concur in his views, all were pleased witlVhis candor, and satisfied that there were no such difference of opin- ion, and nothing in the aspect of the present con test, which shout} prevent them Iran yiehling him ?cordial and hearty support. After repeated calls, Hen. 1). Wir.surr very brief. . ly addressed the meeting. He said that the demo crats assembled had felt their labels to hear the views of their candidate for Governor, and that it would not be just for him to occupy their attention That he heartily endorsed his views upon the tariff, and the principles he had avowed touching ihe banking system, and our State policy' in general ; and although he differed with him upon some mat. tereconnected with the policy and action of the general , government, yet that he saw nothing in the present aspect of the contest, that would prevent him from yielding to Col. Bigler his ,support. He claimed that the questions upon witch they disa greed, were not at issue, that the pertained to national politics, and expressed hisgratific,ation that Col. Bigler so reviewed them, in spnaking of them as collateral question', and nor as qdestions now at issue, or directly involved in the pending political contest. JOdge LAPORTE then addressed the meeting in a scorching review of Gov. Johnston's course in re gard to the North Branch Canal, and the meeting adjourned with three•hearty cheers for Cal. Bigler. BiGLEN MEETING. AN PERRY COURTT.-A most enthusiasticr meetifkg was held in Perry county on the sth lost. , which was addressed by Col BILLER and others. In the published proceedings we find the paragraph which billows dints Msiviissr.r.ve, Hsu!, being called upon, de livered himself ore speech, which adds to the rep utation- he carries with him from his many friends ni.this county. He was singularly happy in , all he said. He read' of the history of the:Federal' party, _as from a boob; and. elueidated and' vindicated the principles. of Democracy with power and effect.— Nfr.

The friends of. Mr. ra.wct.rsought to instruct the Delegates in hie. favor, while the friends of Mr. Wtistor asked that they should. go uninstructed. in order that the - action of Brodkinl might have its due weight in settling the question Upon the issue thus formed,' the vote stood, for instructing 20 ; against instructing, 35. The delegates being unin structed, wi.lconseqnently be enabled to adopt such a course as shall seem best adapted to secure the success of the party. while at the same time des• pedtwill be paid to Bradford, to which county the candidate seems by common. consent to be con ceded. This, we know, while it is fair and equit able, will be perfectly satisfactory to Mr. Virtusar aniNtis friends. Delegate Dleetlatia. Saturday next is the day designated by the Stand. ing Committee for the primary meetings of the De mocracy. We call the attention of the Democracy to the importance of attending the election of Dale caws. Experience has proven that no better eye t etra has yet been devised for perfecting the or ganization of the party—and where it has been corrupted and abused it has been owing to a want ofeare and attention on4fie part of the people them 'lves. Let the - Democrats inns out to the Delegate elections—send good and true men, whose only care will be to truly represent their cora-lituents, an] no cause of complaint can possibly exist. The elections are called between the hours of 4 P. M. and 7 P. M. and should be organized and.conduct ed as at a general election. Flat aT ELMIRA —On the night of the 11th inst., e fire was discoyered in the large brick building adjoining Haight's Hotel, owned and occupied by J. M. Robinson.

A tattoo BsAa KILLED.--A large bear, weighing over three hundred pounds, was killed in Pierre. pont, St. Lawrence county, on the 25th instant, by .Philo Leonard, a lad ot sixteen years, with one of Fobes' gain twist pistols. After both forelegs were broken, he went three miles before be was again overtaken, when four more leaden missiles wore hurled from the harbinger of death into his carcass, which deprived the monster beast of the forest ot his life. This monster got into some bad scrapes previous ra the end of his mundane existence.— There way a half ounce ball which was lodged next to his hide, which is supposed to have been shot four years ago, by Was. Leonard. Several al. tested to the truth ot this; who' were acquainted with the ohs, and shape of the' bails that were used by him. Two years afterward he was caught in a trap set by Moses Leonard., which deprived him of one of his feet. A year after this, he was caught in a cornfield in the !Own of Granshue, seventeen miles from any inhabitants, which done him no material injury ; but it was reserved for a boy of sixteen to cause the monster Bruin to bite the dust. —St. Lawrence Repu& Ler/agree Gap RAILROAD -It has teen' am flounced that the city of Utica its soon, to be suppli ed with coal from a Pennsylvania mine, at a cheap rate, through the Chenango Canal—the Leggett's Gap Railroad bringing it from the coalbeder to Great Bend, fourteen miles south-east of Binghamton, the terminus of the canal. The Gap mad will connect with the Erie, upon which the coal will be brought both to Binghatinon and Owego. The Cayuga and Susquehanna road will take coal to Ithaca,Whence it will be carried to all the western parts of the State. A canal will be constructed so that boats may be loaded directly from the cars at Ithica and and the trans shipment a' that point be greatly fac ilitated. The Leggett's Gap road will be complet ed, it is said, in September, and at once opened for bsuiness.--Rachester Dem.

Shunts neon theßink queitioti, add comptue • it, with Stand of Out Johnston: ._ A banking mitts?, sufficient to supply seas of the trading corfilmunity„ so fee from being objee: tionable,licilitstestrade and enconnigesdrediLThe object of modem banking, in its most legitimate form, is to discount notes and make a profit for the institution. But esperienee forces upon es the cow vietion, that in the working. of the institution', no matter how elevated may be its-character, indi vidual profit usurps the chiet end of public benefit. Further than this; a public body is itresprinsible: its members are secure, and when smelted, they present the brazen front of the corporation. But the great evil is this: 'Although banking capital is requited and men ofinte i grity may be found to man age it, yet, unless thi4re is some check, this capital will be immeasurably increased and fall ender the management of corrupt men, whose design would be to cheat anti despoil their leilow-men. For this reason, the Democratic party are opposed to free banking and such-like schemes, and deem it neces sary to place 'the check of the individual liability clause upon all institutions applying for special privileges. This is moderate and sound doctrine. It protects the people and works no injustice to sols vent and discreetly-managed institutions. But what is the position of rtov. Johnston ? His 'brain is always revolvittg a South Sea Bubble or a Mississippi Scheme. lie is forever at work trying to find a substitute for the philosopher's stone, that he may transmute rags into money. He would throw Off all control, flood the State with twenty thousand different issues of notes, and spread Inoffigacy with the right hand and ruin with the left. Gov. Johnston has been pleased to take great to himself for increasing the prosperity of the State. He thinks there is much to be done yet.— Every case of failure in business or profitable en terptise he attributes to the policy of the Democracy in years gone by. We cannot expect that those who have failed in business will admit that they have overtratted, trusted too freely, gone beyond their means, speculated rashly. or any thing of that kind; although failures generally proceed from one of these causes or all combined. But the policy of the government may favor overtrading—an exten sive credit system—rash speculations, and, thereby, promote failures. Nothing tends to speculation and over-trading more than over-banking. Create mil lions more of paper money—place it under the con trol of men of no character and fictitious capital— throw off all responsibility—let every Jack in trade have as much credit at the bank as he pleases, let this system swell and swell till it bursts, and for tunes will vanish, rogues will grow rich and hon est industry he oppressed. Fellow citizens, when Gov Johnston talks of prostrating th e trade, of the insolvency of firms, and the failure ol enterprises in any part of the State, and essays to assign the causes—look to the premi ses of his conclusions—see that he mentions the natural causes of the effects over which he laments. Do not let him say that the Democrats have done this or that without proving it. See whether over. trailing and foil much credit have not produced the particular disasters he alludes to. And if so, ask yourselves whether an unlimited banking privilege, which would send among us an unlimited flood of paper money, and would not increase these disaa. ters. A Free-Banking Law was Johnston's pet measure. THE CROPS.—The Chicago Tribune has collected from its exchanges in Illinois, Indiana, Wisconsin and lowa, such information with regard to the crops as has come to its noticb, which it sums up as fol lows: So far as wheat is concerned, the harvest is about closed, even in the northwest, or sufficiently ad vanced to enable the prodncer to determine its char acter. In regard to corn, the great staple of the west, our information is necessarily limited, owing to the tact that the season is not sufficiently advanc ed to permit any thing further than the opinion based on its present appearance. In the early part of the season the weather was very unfavorable, and it was feared that the yield would be quite small. Later, however, there has been a most gratifying _change, and should we have a warm season till the middle of September, the crop will be not only very abundant, but matured so as to be beyond the reach of the frost.— We have abundant evidence that the number of acres planted largely exceeds that of the last or any other season. This is attributable to the fact that no other crop has re muneratoil the producer so well as corn. As to oats, another great staple, and the third in importance, we believe there is but one expression In every part of the west, the crop is better than ever before. The surplus most necessarily be enormous, and prices w.ll doubtless rule very low. Taking the three staples together—wheat, corn and oats, the season, we think, has been more pro ductive than for many years. Tile FRENCH Coxermrritoe.—ln the debate on the revision of the French Constitution, to enable Louis Napoleon to be re elected President, all the ehiet men of the nation were in the minority, or 'opposed to the revision, for though - the majority were in favor of the measure, they failed,for want of the requisite constitutional number. Changer nier Cavaignac, Lamoriciere , Betlean and Leflo— the Lafae party, two memers of the President's lanaify, fIB - de Lamirtine, and M. Thiers, all op posed the contemplated change in the constitution. The debater on the revision gave rise to some elo quent and brilliant oratorical efforts. One of the most powerful speeches in defence of the Republic was that by Victor Hugo He strenuously opposed the prolongation of the powers otr the President, and commented wi h great severity upon the attempt which was being made in some querters to convert the republic into an empire. He observed that it might be said that nobody dreamed of an empire, but what, he asked, was the meaning ol the cries of Vive l'Empereur," and who paid the parties that uttered them. What was the meaning of the ridi culous 'petitioning for a prolongation of the Presi dent's powers. Prolongation meant Consulate for IA and that meant empire. He thought that there was an intrigue, and that day-light shook! be let in upon at. Electives they had 13 co Napoleon the Great, must they now have Napoleon the Little.— He would say a truce with parodies. To put an eagle on the flag there must be an eagle on the Tuilleries, and where was that eagle I What they asked of he President was, and what they midi- expected from him was, not that he should power like a great man, bnt that he should quit it like an honest one.

DttrraEstura AcctriaNT—At Chainville, Mont wimery county, on Saturday evening last, THOMAS CLAIM %Sas killed from the effects of carbonic acid gas in a well. Subsequent to the unfortunate man being overcome by the fohl air, efforts were made to hoist the body by grappling irons, says the Nor- ristown Herald, and several times 'they succeeded so far as to get it within ten or twelve feet of the surface, but the clothing giving way it would tall downward, thumping and striking, and chilling the blood id the veins of the hundreds who had as sembled at the scene of the disaster. Experiments were then restored to drive the foul air from the well, and shavings and straw were burned in a large bucket, which was lowered dotvn into it. A large cedar bosh was then produeed, which was worked up and down in it by means of a rope, and by this means the foul air was so far expelled that a lighted candle would burn at the bottom of the well.. A man then descended, and having fastened a 'rope round the feet of Thomas, he was hoisted to the sprface. His clothes were found to be en tirely gipped from his body, his neck broken, his head very badly fractured and his body lacerated. Cot.. BIGLER —The Democratic Mass Meeting at Mifflinburg on Thursday last was attended by about 1000 persons, and Col Bigler made a high') favora ble impression on men of all parties. Her,addressed the meeting in a speech of about an hours length, and evinced a degree of tact, wit, and ability as a public speakeroogether with strong fltgutnenttve powers, and a sound judgment that prove him to be tally the equal, if not the superior of his compe titor on the stomp. If he makes the same favora ble impression elsewhere that he did in this coon• ty, and we see no-reason to doubt it, his triumphant election May be set down as a foregone conclusion. In the evening he addressed the citizens of this place in front of Kline's Washington House, and had almost as large an audience as at Mitilinbure. We were not in town at the time, but learn from all hands that he acquitted himself handsomely, and our citizens were very favorably impressed with his talents and worth, and plain, frankly spoken Democracy.—Lewisburg Chronicle. Cot.. Factirout—This gentleman was recently at Los Angelos, where he arrived by way of Tulare Lake, early in the present month. He was engag. ed with a company in purchasing cattle for the San Joaquin Valley, and was to have started about this time - with a drove of from 4000 to 5000 head. We understand that he has a contract for supplying with beeves the Indian tribes of the South, with whom treaties have been made ,by Cot Barbour, Indian Commissioner.

He then stole a horse and attempted to escape, but was so closely pursued by some of Mr. Kiel's neighbors, that he had to leave thei horse, and take the river swamp. Several citizens of the county turned oat to search for the murderer, and succeeded in arresting him at II o'clock on Tuesday night. They then tied him to a stake and burned him to death.

TXIIRIBLE RAtiOrS OT.CIIOLEIIA &Mir, Republiom has gathered' fidm Major H.

The cholera _communi cated le the cattle?' =Mai Piaui atatii, that, from his own know ledge only, some fifty head of cattle died of a sickness lOC which he cannot account, unless it were cholera. They were seized sudden- . ly with vomiting and paremic-, aTrit 1 meat instan ces, death ensued after five of six boars from the trianifestations df the sittiptoms. When the disease was raging most violently among the Indians, a coatieil was - held,'after whose decimon the entire nation struck camp, and repo rated for various quarters.. A portion of thejn took refuge in,the monntaitig h anil tte remainder jour neyed towards the Nolth. The cholera followed the party who had repaired to the morintains, and continued to commit sad ravages among them. To add Still more, to their misfortunes, the small pox broke out 'among them about the same time, and while it rah its coarse there were front five to six hundred of their nonibei who fell viims to it.— The traders did all that lay in their po ver to allevi ate the sufferings about them. They were fortun ately well provided with vaccine matter, and Maj. Picot supposes that no less than lineal or twenty thousand Indians were vaccinated by them to start from the occurrence oEthe first case. The meet frigliffid panic spread itself among the Indians on the appearance of cholera among them in such a malignint form. Neither interest, nor friendship, nor parentage were sufficient bonds to keep them together in this time of ffiiction. Wives were, abandoned by their husbands, parents by their Children, and friends by their friends. The cholera and also the small pox, lingered from July, 1850, to July, 1851, abating in the winter to a con siderable extent. In that time numerous children and helpless women and old men, who had been suddenly abandoned by those that had hitherto supported them, were picked up and taken charge of by the traders. The fact may not be without its interest, that in present year, when the party of Sioux, (consisting of one thousand families) went to the North, they fell in with a war party of Blackfeet, who were in search of the Crow Indians. The Slim attacked them, and murdered every-person in the party.— Not a single one was left to bear the tale to his na tion. After the occurrence of the that few cases of small pox, those 'lndians who had tented to the North, became particularly careful in their inter communication with strangers. Guards were sta tioned about their village, whose duty it was to warn all strangers From approaching them, and fur. Cher, to shoot down such as persisted in crossing, !hipline of their encampment. Major Picot adds that very many Indians of foreign tribes, as well as of the Sioux tribe itself, were murdered for the rea son-that the:) , didreg,arded this regulation. A FEAT IN DIiNTAL SCIIVERY.—The Newark Da ly Advertiser translates from the Courrier des Etats Unis the following extraordinary feat of dental sur gery : " Accordinglo the wisest geologists, elephants, ',like men are subject to insanity. A short time Nam_ the brig ade o elephants attached to the Judi ad\ermy became crazy at the lord of a river and were with difficulty sobered. Some years ago Miss Djeck, belonging to Mr. Hagler, of Marseilles, a female, who, by her teats was much distinguished in many foreign courts where she had appeared, became furious atGeneva, Switzerland„where them was a performance, and it was_necessary to bring a piece of artillery and shoot down this animal, till then so mi'd and intelligent. ' " Within a very short time the elephant at the menagerie at the Roulevare of the Temple, Aly &ha, has given signs of mental alienation. Alarm ed by the remembrance of the former instance, , Mons. - Hugier stopped the pertormance and pro ceeded to consult with competent individuals upon ihe subject! In consequence, he called M. Chap art from his Ztological Museum, veterinary surgeon in chief to the School' at Alford and to the Guard Municipale. Alter having felt the pulse of this co lossus, the, 'consulting surgeons declared that the animal was attacked by hypcondria in consequenCe of caries at the root of his tusks, and advispd the yard a of them, which were a yard a d' a half each in length. To aid in this attemp 1. Hugier endeavored to put the animal to sl by means of opium and chloroform, but thou administered in immense quantity they had apparent effect, and they were compelled to-e ploy a windlass to hold ' him (learn. "The Operation i place blyith, before thir ty of the pupils 0 e veterinary school, and a crowd of veterinary peons. The animal was alternate- ly placed or(each side for the different teeth, and with thp-iiid of a saw and forceps, and cords attach ed, the teeth were tint off and the roots extracted, which alone weighed eighteen pounds: His teeth will not be replaced. As for Aly Scha, he is allele ill after this severe, operatioul but it is confidently expected that hewill have no returns of madness, and that he soon will be able to resume big exer cises which the public find so amusing." THE CATAWISSA RAILROAD, MEETING see by the Columbia County " Roar of the North," that the Railroad meeting last week at Catawissa was well attended i and evidence was afforded of ear nest. " The route through this region, certainly posses. essuperior advantages, both in distance and easy grade; and the rapid growth of the great west, must soon find pew outlets to the Atlantic seaboard. The Little SchuylkiH and Susquehana Railroad to Cat tawissa, is all graded, and the company has made secure arrangements for iron to lay the whole track. The distance from Tamaqua to Cattawissa, is 47 miles. From Port Clinton to :Tamaqua, by the Little Schuylkill Railroad, is 20 miles ; and at Port Clinton would be our connection with the Reading Railroad. From 9 miles this side of Tamaqua, it would stretch out another arm, eastward, (the Qua. kake Extension,) , to the - Lehigh, and there form a connexion with the line of railroad extending to New York city. The whole distance from Erie to New York, by way of the Williamsport, Cattawis sa and Philadelphia route is la thin by way of the New York and Erie railroad. From New York to Dunkirk, by the New York and Erie iailroad, the distance is 47a miles, while from ; Philadelphia to Dunkirk, by way of Williamsport pnd Elmira, will be only 452 miles. And then, too, it is generalty admitted that the harbor of •Erte is far superior to that artificial. one at Dunkirk." DISCOVERY DT LEAD IN DELAWARE Co—We have been shown some specimens of Galena lead ore, discovered near the village of Hancock. We tin. dertnandthis ore is found in a stone qnerry opened by the New-York Sr. Erie Railroad Company, at 'he base of a mountain five hundred feet high.— Upon examination there also appear to be iron and coal. As the vein containing the ore is quite ex tensive, and the ore increases in richness, it is prob. able, with a little more excavation, a valuable and extensive deposit will be brought to view.—.DeUri, Gazette.
