A Pure Douglas Electoral Ticket. • [From Forney's Press ] In answer to a multitude of letters (which we are utterly unable to publish), demanding a pure Douglas electoral ticket in this State, pledged against the Disunionists, headed by pledged and LANE, we are authorized to state that RICHARD J. 11.1Lomus, Esq., the Democratic Committee, appointed by the regu lar National Demoeratfb Convention, will, under instructions from that Committee, ad dress letters to the different candidates for telectors, appointed by the Reading Convention , aeinanding of them au explicit answer whether 'they are' in favor of the nomination of Deco- Las and JouNsoN, for President and Vice Pre sident. If they shalt refuse to answer, or shall answer in favor of the Disunionists, then their notes will be stricken from the and •others substituted. We, are alsd desired to 'state that it is intended to call ; a Democratic State Convention—whether a delegation or a mass Convention hereafter to tie determined— which body will proceed to fill any and all va .caneles on the electoral ticket. It ought to gratify the friends of Judge Docci.as to know that he, himself, cordially sustains the policy of having no connection, &rect or indireet,with the Disunionists ; that he desires above all,and most of all, to maintain the position in which •he has been placed by his record and his nom ination, and also that he can eater into no coalition with Disunionists in the free States, wlio insulted and degraded those gallant men inithe Southern States now fighting for the National Democracy, and for the old fashioned principles of the Democratic party, against a banded oligarchy intent alone upon the -des truction of the Uiion. No Tut - 17 FRIEND Of DOUGLAS in Pennsylvania, or dsewhere, can toads an electoral ticket which contains upon it the single name of a Brerkinridge Disunionist. Even one out or the twenty sercn (lectors would disgrece a Deatglas titiel, precisely as a shgle drop of subtle poison th ro ten into a goblet of pare and crystal water might render the whole * a •deathly potion. Government Corruption. The testimony elicited by the Co rode Inves tigating Committee will shortly be laid before the public, and will form a record of scanda lous corruption such as the world has seldom seen, and such as must awake the people to a sense of the sieru necessity, existing for a re formation.

FOR VICE ERSIDENT. HANNIBAL HAMLIN, of Maine. FOR aorEuxon, AND'W G. CUMIN, of Centre Co. Iter We publish in this week's issue, anoth "er article from FORNEY'S Press, for the pur pose of illustrating the spirit which animates the Dot:Gus portion of the Democracy. That the feud between the two branches of the "harmonious" is irreconcileable, is past doubt. A portion of the adherents of either interest would be glad to patch up some arrangement by which a union could be effected, but the parties most interested are opposed to any such accommodation. The secessionists have everything to gain by unity of action, as their hope would be to throw the election into the 11°124, where an election being impossible, the Senate would elect LANE, who would become acting President. The plan is a shrewd one, but the people will prevent its consummation. Mr. Douni....s and his friends are determined that if he cannot be elected now, no President shall be chosrfi who will employ the patronage of the administration to demoralize the party, and prevent him from being the candidate in 18G4. He has borne enough of the power wield ed by an administration hostile to his advance meat. He unquestionably considers that four years out of power will do much to harmonize existing differences in the Democratic party, that it mby present an unbroken front in 18131; and by that time he can satisfy the South that his elevation would promote their inter ests. At present, there is every indication that the Republican nominee will carry every Northern State. Yet lukewarmness and apa thy may lose us the victory when it seems al most within our grasp. It behooves the Re publicans to conduct the battle as if the co horts of the administration were to be met in solid•phalanx. The almighty power and forte of plunder may at the last emergency effect what now seems impossible. While victory seems ready to perch upon our banners, danger may be hovering near. - Unceasing activity, and vi lance ‘vere.nevcr more necessary than now. We call upon our Republican friends. throughout the County to continue the work of perfecting their organization,—we urge upon those already organized the necessity of making their orgatriiationVetrective. In any event, let us resolve that Bradford shall do her whole duty. par The Herald of !eat week contains a long, elaborate and able article from C. L.

He goes fur the Docci—ti ticket, pure and simple, and protests against any coalition with the Secessionists. DOUGLAS TO II AVE ANOTHER CHANCE —A Washington letter-writer says that the friends of Douglas, after a long consultation, Lave determined to put him in nomination as a can didate for the Presidency in 1864, immediate ly after the November election, be the result what it may. They are resolved that his competitor shall not have control of the Dem cratic organization, to which the contest is now mainly directed, but inteud to continue the fight to the bitter end.

WEBB, Chairman. tar MR. EDITOR f—lt was my good fortune to attend the exercises closing .the , late ttrm of the Sus quehanna ColleghAe Institute Oil Tuesday of last week at the Presbyterian Church. A respectable audience was present to participate in the pleasure of the occasion, and we hnzard nothing In saying that every person was delighted with what be heard and saw. Ten or twelve original orations were delivered by the young men of the Institute, each one abounding in choice patriotic senti ments, clothed In eloquent language, and In a style of elocution quite superior to that of the ordinary produc tions of the kind. There was, to say the least, a strong current of sound logical thought running through each production which impressed the hearer and enlisted his hearty commendation. We listened to no spread-eagle flights of the imagination, to no " tales of sound and fury signifying nothing," but to good common sense ex pressed in forcible language, and finding its way at once to the heart, as such thoughts always will. As we have no programme indicating the particular names - of the senkers of each oration before us, but have to depend upon memory, no young gentleman will accuse us of par tiality if we say that the two productions entitled " Self made men," and " Self-made or never made,'' pleased us as Much for the noble thoughts they embodied in words as for the effective and forcible style of delivery, while the two entitled " Comparative wrongs of the Negro and Indian," and " Slavery a Social Evil," though slightly an tagonistie-yet mainly true, perhaps exhibiting the politi cal predilections of the speakers, (in no offensive sense however.) were spoken with great effect, and thrilled the audience with emotion. Those entitled " The Young Alen of America, - " Universal Education," and Incen tives to Noble Living," were chaste and finished produc tions, abounding in beautiful language and elevated thought. and as specimens of elocution quite and entirely above the common order of school exercises. The two entitled " American liberty" and'' Ambition," contain ed patriotic sentiments, exhibited honorable aims and gave high promise of future excellence and success. The success of the scholar indicates the worth and Isuccess of tip! teacher. It pleases us to know that the labors of Pro . fessors 0. S. and Wu. It.

The Steam Engine, Rail !toad and Telegraph are in well known that we have but to mention them in this connection. Fourth. We,think the sciences attest the superiority of modern civilization. Astronomy was cultivated by the ancients, but their systems were ntdirally wrong. They supposed the earth to he the centre of the Fstem. It is true that Ptolemy in the second century 'jammed the central position of the sun, but the secoW century was clearly the commencement of the modern era. The an• cients knew nothing of the existence of planets exterior to Saturn and hardly conjectured any such. They were ignorant of the law of gravitation, and also of those magnificent truths which the telescope reveals. They knew but little of geography—that which we get from Homer is entirely fabulous. He deified the Atlas moun tains, and had the world rest on the shoulders of the God. Colchis was regarded by the poet as situated in the ex treme east, where stood a temple of the sun in which the god of day rested his horses during the night, and from which, in the morning, he drove his chariot through the Heavens. lie indulges largely in the poet's fancy. In Sicily there were sirens who lured to destroy, magicians who transformed men into beasts, monsters of strange form who fed upon the quivering limbo of the shipwreck ed mariner, and there also were the fabulous Cycicpa with but one eye. The Cimmerian dwelt in total dark ness at the mouth of the sea of Azoph, and the pigmies and dwarfs who fought pitched battles with the cranes, according to his authority, inhabited Asia Minor and the north of Europe. Hirodotus was better skilled In geo graphy than Homer, but he declares that Europe was as large as Asia and Africa put together. Of the latter region he knew nothing beyond the limits, of Egypt.-- The Romans , by Their conquests , added to the knowledge of this science, but their ignorance. of the globular form of the earth prevented the formation of any correct idea respecting it. Geology is entirely a science cultivated and brill' up during the latter days of modern civilization. Plato be lieved the earth a huge animal. It is singular that in 1619, Kepler, the illustiliThs astronomer, should have revived that doctrine, and thought that one day when the tide did not rise, it tai in a Mating fit. Had he lived but a few months ago in Illinois be might have believed the great hurricane a bad cough, .or en epilepsy.. Chtzdatry too io a new ationse. It b hardly a hundred years since He first principles were discovered. The an cients might have made glass and worked the metals, but their operations were ainneehanicaluithese of the house wife who ban a hard breed.

And here It is proper to say that the speaker was par- titularly unfortunate in his comments upon that great - modern discovery—the circulation "'of the blood. The quotations be Introduced to substantiate the knowledge of the ancients with it, only proved what the first mur derer saw when he slew his victim—what the first sur geon in all time found out when be dressed his first wound, to wit, that the blood mores. What Harvey dis covered Is the fact that the blood flows in a circle,—that it goes out from the heart through the arteries to the ex• treme circumference of the body, and referees folk heart through the veins. Its going out Is the first half of the circle, its return is the last half, and completes It. It is not a mere drifting on the current of life through a straight channel, but a complete circulation. This cir cular movement of the blood through the body, with a corresponding one through the lungs, is what physiolo gists denominate the " Circulation of the blood," a pro cess of which the nuclei's Were as ignorant as they were of the 3ragnetie Telegraph. The aprlication of theMoza in the case or Mr. Sumner? was, as the Dr. told us, but a repetition of an ancient practice. Every surgeon of a half dozen years standing has employed it In the treatment of certain diseases and thought it nothing singular. Mr. Sumner was an illus trious patient, and he chose an illustrtoun surgeon. But our notice cf this address is sufficiently extended to indicate our belief in the higher civilisation In which we live. We cannorrecoucile ourselves to the opinion that two or three thousand years have passed, and yet our race with so many means of progress has not ad vanced,—that so many hopes and aspirations clinging to our humanity or a coining tutor, are to be rendered void. I In many of his inferences was not the speaker mistaken. He referred to Homer, std yet In matters of history Homer Is not con: klcred reliable authority. His heroes and her roes are regarded by many as fabulous. Troy has no certain eXlStelnre In the past, and even the poet himself has been supposed a myth. Again, are we not justified in the absence of suchproof as it would be easy to rendcr. is believing that the rail road near the pyra odds spoken of never had existence but in fancy, and were nut the musical sounds said to have been emitted by the statute of Memnon, like the responses of the Del phian oracle; bet the jugglery of Egyptian priests, and may see trot suppose this to have been the case when au thentic history informs us that the head of the statute was shattered by the king, Cambyse., with this charge against it in his mouth? :in closing we have to express the great pleasure we re ceived in listening to this discourse As an inteilei.tual effort, it was far in advance of anything of the kind we ever heard. If we differ in opinion we cars still admire the talent and research a Well illumines each page. the liarn,r which sparkles la the right place, aud the learning which graces the whole performance. It is truly a gem in literature. BI ADVOI:1) COCNTV AlEincAt. SOCIETY, met at the Tabernacle " in Terr . i town on Wednesday, July 11, The CoHow Mg member= were pre,ent.: Miu.s, A Mon (vv.:.
