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. This testimony fixes crime upon
crime upon the I.).inocratic adwidstraiion un•
til the whole thing looks to be atuts of loath
some and disgusting official putrefaction. The
following arc some of the crimes proven :
The use of $:.:(1,c0i) or 40,00 d to carry the
Lecompton and English bills through Con-
EaEl
The stealing of that money front the Unit
ed States Treasury, under the pretence of pay
ing for priuding.
The offer of :;80,000 of the same kinJ of
stcaliuv, to Col. J. IV,Y4ruey, if he would
buppori the 'Buchanan ud-rninkt ration.
The most stupendous frauds in '• Live Osk"
contracts for the Navy, for the purpose of en
riching political favorites auTI cliri opting eke-

The fraudulent appointment vi political

"House delarccl void.
That the 1 - tab army was raised to four,
Slavery into Kansas against the a ishes of the
people.
The exislen;:e of corrupt combinations of
federal offi .;c holders to carry elections.
The use of public money to corrupt the bah
lot Luz and to defeat the will -of the people ;
especially in the Philadelphia Custom House
and :Navy Yard ; that Mr. Baku- and his
brother were directly guilty of thus using the
public inbney, the entire intimacy exist;ng. be

The donation of $lO,OOO to the P„ennsylva

Pewall, of Somerset county, was kirled recent,-
ly under very painful cireutm,taticcs. lie was
prowing corn in one of his field=, and when
called to dinner unhitched his horse front the
ploW, threw tho traces over hii back and
tuoinitedit to ride to the hua. , e. Just as he
passed a bro . ok that ran across the way, one
of the traces slipped down, the chain end of it
wound closely around his a:We, and its hook
caught in a link. His horse grew unmanage
able ; first it threw him from his hack and then
started off at a full speed, drawing him along
on the ground. ,After it ran to the barn and
around it several times, Mrs. I)cwall saw the
dreadful condition of her husband' and hasten :
ed to his relief, but this only frightened the
nnimal.the more, and turning in another direc-
tion it jumped over a wood pile, •causing a
dreadful annihilation of Mr. Dewall's person.
Iu the flight of the horse he had been literal.
ly torn and crushed to pieces Ills head was a
mangled mass. Along the way where he been
dragged, flesh and blood were seen. When
taken up he was lifeless.

Washington was a pauper upon the nation
" We make their sewers, and everything
else, and we feed them, in order that, at the
opening of a session, they may come here and
hiss if Freedom is mentioned, and applaud if
Slavery is mentioned. Before I will vote any
thing clot absolutely necessary for this town,
they must reform their manners. I shall vote
against this whole ai prvriation. I should
bate to starve theni, but, if they get so lean,
%hat, at the opening of the session, they can
mot bowl or hiss so much the better."

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.

long, elaborate and able article from C. L.

Convention, and the Charleston and Baltimore
Conventions, and dots not seem to be particu-
larly pleased " with the threats and cavalier

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. As Messrs. Breck

indulge thegratification of a protracted rival

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. DEAN are well
appreciated in this community, that they possess a high

N. V. The sulject, as near as we can remember, was a

elicited the interest of every per4ou present. It was a

of an. lent ci it iatiou .vith modern, if not its absolute

ntatesiarn atidii.ed a I.' :11 of excellence indeed,
and yet we are quite unit illin to gold all the Doctor
claim for the b.l!• , v, i»;.; reasons :
First. 'there can i.c fomalttcat for SU pe^i

government and -ociety
n.shie from Chi,lianiiy. 1 lie religion of a people is their
life and their law. i• , •econil, the'philrkophy of antiquity

the particular, from etitke to effect, from abstraction to
its dependencies. flow different tlii, mode from the
modern. that of seeking . for cause by reasoning from ef

particular.. Is the system of the greatest of modern
philosopher-, liacoa It ir4 thy 1 , 1 ,, C, of observation
and expetienee and lids supplanted ancient philmo

Third, Model.' ic. t ti, n disco% cry, as 14, that of

wa, first gets rally u-eil by them in warfare, and its em
ployment ha, sated more live, than it has destroyed. It
has changed the it hole a-pe. t of war, rendering it less
barbarous and revolting.
2.1. The disco err of the Mariner's Compass, by sir•
ing an impetus to navigation, colonization and emnmerce.
has conferred upon the moderns the mo-t important ben
efits. The discovery, though claimed by the Chinese,
was clearly made in modern times, that ii .1. I)., 1117.
3tl. The discovery of the art of Printing. We arc
aware that the Chinese claim a priority in this too, but
if we submit to their claim, they ask u, to go no further
baek than the year 1000 of the Christian era. So great
arc the hlessirqs which have their origin in this art, that
he must be a bold mnn who will contend that the world
will again lapse into barbarism, or that haring ' , ern
known once in an early antiquity, as the Dr. implied, it,
the world, has pa:, , ed through ages of darkness since.
4th. 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. Ttiey had WAY began

Ostia. - •
,
- Meilen& but little of medicine, and 210ibluilat
lology and minute 'anatomy. ;,Medicine Is so dependent
on chemistry that they had no key to unlock its secrets,
while physiology and minute anatomy are sealed sciences
without the microscope.
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.

may adopt. Not but what the Herald is entirely right
in its resolution the scourge by Its "remorseless crificion,"
those unlucky old fogies from the field, and expose them
as charlatans and quacks, if tack they prove themselves
to be, it is but right that ignorance and incompetence

For my part, Mr Editor, I am convinced that these chaps
will : do some good, and that we ought to tolerate pelf ef
forts, giving them a fair field for action, and, excusing
as far as we can, in charity, their blunders. It is admit
ted that they have pasepott to our favor in advance, but
their " established reputations," and that all their lives
to the present , have been miserable fannies when Judged
by the same rules of" remorseless criticism," yet, Young
America, though carmine!' of his superiority, should be
mapanimeus and forgiving,—instead of annihilating he
should encourage—lnstead of criushiug he should foster,
for there is no error so hoary but it may be dispelled, no
man so old but he may !earn new truths, unless his men

For bitter though griefs cop may be,
Thou givest but our part.

Yet not rebuke our tears ;
How large a place her presence tilled,
flow vacant it appears,
" We mourn the sunshine of her smile,
The tendrils of her lore

Ere she was called above ? 4
Our chastened spirits bow in pray-et
Ind blend all prayers in one,—
Giie - us the hope to meet her there
When life's full task is done."
