A letter has been received from JOHN VAN BUREN, promising that he wili certainly be present and address the democracy. Other distin guished speakers have also been invited. Democratic Nominal lona We this day present to our Democratic friends the ticket formed by the convention which assem bled at ibis place Saturday evening; and we feel a peculiar pleasure in placing the names of the canda dates at the head of our paper. At no time within our recollection have we ever witnessed ,such per fect harmony and unnamity of action as was exhib ited- in the proceedidge of the recent convention ; and never was a convention more fortunate in the selection of candidates. The gentletten whose names are presented for suffrages of the people, are unexceptionable to any portion of the party, unob jectionable, even to whigs, in tiny and every rela. lion, other than a difference of political opinions, and will command the, entire support of the county. We repeat that we are rejoiced to present to our democratic friendsa ticket of stick high character, so-well deserving their - support, and the success of which does not admit of a doubt. Ropalomluation of Don. G. A. Grow The Congressional Conference which met at this place, on Wednesday last, unanimously re-nomina ted Hon. G A. Gaow to rept emt the 13th Cm gressional District. The unanimity with which Mr. C. has been re• nominated, is a compliment which is due alike to hie consistency and ability. He has proved him self all that his friends expected—and repaid most nobly the confidence reposed in him by those who knew Lim beat. " We !Ave wat:hed the legislative coarse of Mr. Gaow with ['nostril interest, for we knew the ex pectations placed upon him by the Democracy of this County, and we take great pleasure in adding •our unqualified approval to the high compliment paid him by the representative of the Democracy of the three cour.ties t composing the 13th District.— Standing firmly upon the principles he had promul gated to our voters, before his election, he has not swerved or faltered, but consistently and uniformly voted to carry out and maintain those doctrines.— Against the monstrous schemes of fraud which seek legislation as a cover for their iniquity, Mr. Gitow has uniformly interposed his vote. The people of this district w fil testily their approval of his course, by returning him to. the post he has so ably filled. Punceoreser.—We take pleasure in recommend ing Mr. H. S. Grauoss to all lovers of Truth and Science. As a member of the American Phrenol ogilcal Society he cornea to us highly recommend. e.4.which recommendation he has folly redeemed. Hie plain and placid style-sltia critical accuracy in reading character—his frank v and. critical advice to parents, how to tightly select occupation for their children—to business men, and young gentlemen and ladies, how to select apprentices, clerks, com panions for life cannot be too highly valued. His advice to parents in governing children,_ subduing their passions, and calling out the liner and , nobler feelingsof the infantile mind, by which they are i t prepared. to. hun the paths of vice, and prepared tor' all the ful avocations of life, and for patriot. ism, piety nd heaven, is truly worth the attention of every, ent, chrtstian, and philosopher. Mr. G. will give his second and thinklectores at the Court House on Friday and Saturday evening of this-Week. will Subject of the lecture on Satur day evening will be " Courtship and Marriage— and the laws of social happiness ; phrenologically considered." _We advise all- those whD wish to " know themselves" to attend.

THE BEGINNING OP THE END—The result of the election in North Carolina settle the fate of the whigs so far as the Sonar is concerned, and they can scarcely hope to elect Gen. Scott without some Southern votes. To lose such a . State as North Carolina, the most reliable of all the Whig phalanx, a perfect Abdiel, faithful among the faithless," . with but onedernoeratio vote to dim her eseruch. eon ; to lobe it too under each circumstances, weih one of her citizens on the ticket as Vice President, and he at home in the field personally superintend ing the election, backed by the men, the money and the influence of the administration of which he ad but lately formed a part, is well calculated to .4Enpen the spirit of the most enthusiastic admirers `of Scott and Graham, and lead him to doubt the availability as well as the invincibility of his favor. lie candidate. To the democracy it is equally en couraging, much better indeed than we had dared to hope for; it shows us that military glory is not to decide the present contest, but that the people are awake to the true issues, and disposed to decide them intelligently, which is all we ask to . eniinre out success. The result in North Carolina is but the beginning of the end, the precursor of a series of brilliant victories, which are to result in the suc cess of the democratic party and its principles. In the glorious galaxy of States, in which those victories ere to be achieved, shall the rime ol Penn sylvania shine brightly as the Keystone of the De moeratki Arch or be wanting altogether 3 It is for you democrats of the old keystone to answer ; never let it be said that iu the advocacy of demo. cratio principles, the support of Democratic candi dates, the Keystone faltered while the old North State stood &tn.—Keystone.. SODDEN DEATH ON THE N. Y. & E. R. ft --This morning Mail Train going East struck and i , :stantly killed, Mathew Lamont, Esq ,of this town, white walking on the track. He was seen by the Engi neer walkii.g slowly in the same direction in which the train was proceeding. At the Coroner's Inquest no blame was cast upon the Engineer. He revers• ed his engine and gave the usual alarm. Two per sons also at a short distance, saw the old gentle. man's danger and waved their bats to attract his no tice, but itr vain, the noise of a mill dam near by, and the sudden curve in the track, together with the train being after time had thrown him off his guard. He was p however, just stepping off the track as the engine struck him and hailed him against rock by which his skull was fractured.— He died instantly. Pre was much and deservedly esteemed by all his acquaintances, and his sodden death has cast gloom over a wide circle of sorrow. jug relatives and blends. We learn also that a similar accident w ith a aimi. lar fatal result occurred at Waverly on the 22 ult.— Mr. William Fenham was walking on the track and a train coming rapidly round a curve, the an. happy man was clashed before he eould step from the track or the engine be stopped. These melancholy accidents demand a law to pt e• vent persons from walking on the railroad or, if such a law exists, they demand its rigid enforce. ment.—Owego Gaulle. 510,000 BRIBE TO SANTA ANNA.--WOOld it be believed that Gen. Scott absolutely gave a bribe to Gen. Santa Anna ; whilst the army was at Puebla, to induce the Mexican general to agree to a peace? This, we snppose, will be denied by Gen. Scott's Whig friends, but it is verified by the history of the war. lo Major Ripley's history of the war with Mexico, vol. 5, page 149, it is said that Sam Anna sent a messenger to general Scott, proposing to en ter into negotiations for peace, but informing him, at the same time, that, as nothing could be done without the use of money, if ONC- mums or nor• was were placed at the disposal of Santa Anna, at the conclusion of the treaty, and tin-thousand dollars paid immediately, he (Santa Anna). would appoint_ commissioners to negotiate" Thisnegotiation was conducted, in the first place, wither) , by Gen. Scott and the renegade N. P. Trist. Gen. Pillow was sohtevently made a party in the conference, and be objected to the bribe. The historian, however, says, on page 153, vol. 2, " the policy of agreeing to the demands of Santa Anna was strongly urged by Gen. Scott," he arp,ning " that the bribery was • not vt rcng, inasmcch as ten. Santa Anna had plac ed himsell in the market" On page 155, the his historian says the affair was arratized, " and the .ten thousand dollars atipulattd for ii:oneifjately were paid . over from the secret service money, which Gan. Scott had at his disposal! , Thus it will be seen•that'Gen. Scott ruenally gave a bribe of Sit ,000 to Santa Anna, ta indite° him to enter into negotiations for a peace, and agreed to pay him a million, in case of success. It appears, however, in the sequel, that Santa Anna had no idea of making a peace, and only wanted time 'to strengthen his position, and ten thousand dollars for his own priva e purse. The Investigator refers to this as the only case on record where the comman der of a victorious army paid money in advance to deleated general, to induce him to make peace • Qtr.

Sail MILLIONS A YEAR.-Sixty millions of do!. lars a year! Only think of it. Nearly one hun dred and filly tens of gold, or twenty-five hundred tons of silver. This is the ANNUAL EXPENDI TURE of the present WHIG ADMINISTRATION, and it is truly monstrous to contemplate. Why, the annual expenditure of the government would load a tram of a hundred wagons of gold, or sixteen hundred wagons with vilest , . Two-thirds of the an nual product ol California cannot more than keep the treasury supplied. The cotton ctefroJ this coun try is reckoned to be immense, but the annual ex penditure of the federal g overnment would swallow up the whole of it. Sixt y millions gone, consumed" and sunk in a single year ! This sum would edw. cate every youth, male and female in the Union. It would build three thousand miles of railroad, nearly one-third" as many mires as have been built in the United States up to this time. This is pay ing, too dearly for government, as it would require all the savings of nearly half a million of day la borers to support the government. It is time that a reform was made in this kind of extravagance,. and that can be done by the election ol Pierce, fresh from the ranks of the People." THE LAKE ERIE ACCIDENT—NERDIE? Or Tut COhONER'd JURY.—The Coroner of Erie Pa , sum moned ajory to hold an inquest on the body of an unknown girl, about ten years of age, which was brought in by the propeller Ogdensburg ; and after the examination of a number of witnesses, the fol lowing verdict was rendered : "The j ury find that De Grass McNett, the first mate of t he propeller Ogdensburg, was then on du ty: and was on deck. That the night was calm and cleat. That, from his own evidence, he saw. the 14fas of the Atlantic when she was from three to four miles off, and until the collision k that he 'Paw the two boats approackeach other,• yet gave -no order to , the wheelsman until within three or tour rods of the Atlantic. That, by his own evi dence, if he had directed the wheelsman a short time - sooner, the collision would have been avoid ed ; bat he did not because he believed the Og. deneburg was in her proper course, and. the Allan. tic was not. Without determining whether there was carelessness or not on the part of those on. du r ty on the Atlantic, the jury would not fahlifully dis charge their duty, did they not find De Grass Mc the first mate of the Ogdensburg, guilty of gross earelepsnese and a wicked disregard of human life. The jurors aforesaid find that the deceased came to her death by mew of such carelessness" McNett had.not been arrested at the latest ac ',counts.

Pierce W: M'Dossiao, Catholic Pastor. A ague! ld, 1852. DiHilary Candidates It is admitted that General Scott's nomination is due solely to his military reputation. He has nev. er filled ally civil post, and he is wholly destitute of experience in civil affairs. Take away the rec ord 01 his battles, and he has nothing left hint which would command even a passing twice. The men who forcerthon oil the whig patty looked on ly to his supposed availability. They dal not urge his nomination because of his capacity as a states man; for they regarded his qualifications for the presidency as a secondary consideration. Their great object was to obtain power and enjoy the era onlments of office. The were willing to adopt any Means to attain that end; and no resulting, peril to the country was to great to be hazarded by men who were wedded to a faction rather than ton par ty, and who esteemed their personal aggrandize ment infinitely beyond the public interests. We know the influence which military fame has exerted in times past; but Mr. Seward and his fol lowers will find all their efforts to place General Scott at the head of the goVernment utterly unavail ing. The people of the United States have been recently taught several lessons. They remember t, and they will profit by. it. Four years ago Gen. Taylor was brought forward when his military ex ploits were fresh in the public mind. The people believe., that he possessed certain unobtru.ive vir tues which they esteemed. They believed him kind, modest, andjust—one who would destroy the rancor party, and bring about a new era of good feeling. But Gen. Scott no one sees, as fancies that he sees, anything but the successful general— ambitious, bigoted, and „proscriptive—fully wedded to party by has feelings rather than his reason, and with no pulsation of his heart for the people, to whom he must forever be a stranger. Ae soon as General Taylor was elected he dis pelled the belief that a successful warrior must be equal to the management of civil affairs. When . his administration exhibited its character and indi cated its policy, State after State pronounced against it, and the opposition triumphed Isom Maine to the Rio Grande. There' never was an overthrow so sudden and. complete. In his inexperienee, and tom the necessities growing out 01 the whig party. Gen. Taylor called around him a cabinet, alienated his friends, exasperated his enemies, and covered his administration with odium. Regardless . or his fame, it falsified his pledges, and repudiated his promises,. neglected the public service, and by a career of vindictiveness, profligacy, and reckle ss incompetency, fixed icdellible disgrace upon itself, and forced the country to the verge Ed disunion and civil war. Who were they that duped and deceiv ed Gen. Taylor, inflamed party feelings, stimulat ed sectional hostility, and well-nigh severed the confederacy ? They were the very men who have trained and directed the Scott movement, and forc ed General Scott upon the whig, party as its candi date for the Presidency. The death of General Taytbr did not destroy them. in many instances they were permitted to retain the official power and influence which Generarraykir hadgiven, and with ceasleess activity and energy they have labor 4 ed to regain their control over the executive branch of the government. They could not bring forward one of their number; biu inasmuch as they have accomplished their desires by using Gen. Taylor, they have undertaken m bring forth another milita. ry chiefian, with the hope that his achievemenol On the battle-field may make amends for his want of experience in civil affairs, and reverse the verdict which has already been pronounced against the of fensiveness of his political creed. If Gen. Scott should be elected, he wi'l owe his position to the very combination which exerted such a beautiful influence over Gen. Taylor, arid agitation and civil war will bring us to the terrible alternative of a se paration intq discordant and belligerent States, or a consolidated empire, ruled by the worst element of American politics.— Union.
