A Pure Douglas Electoral Ticket. [From Forney's Press ] In answer to a multitude of letters (which We are utterly unable to publish), deinnuding a pure Douglas electoral ticket in this Slate, pledged against the Disuuionists, headed by BRECKINRIDGE aud LANE, we are authorized to j state that RICHARD J. lIAI.DE.MAN, Esq., the , Democratic Committee, appointed bv the regu lar National Democratic Convention, will, I under instructions from that Committee, ad- J dress letters to the different candidates fur •electors, appointed by the Reading Convention demanding of them an explicit answer whether they are iu favor of the nomination of DOUG- I LAS and JOHNSON, for President and Vice Pre sident. If they shall refuse to answer, or i shall answer in favor of the Disumonists, then their names will be stricken from the roll, and others substituted. We are also desired to state that it is intended to call a Democratic j State Convention—whether a delegation or a mass Convention hereafter to be determined — ; which body will proceed to till any and all va caccics on the electoral ticket. It ought to gratify the friends of, Judge DOUGLAS to know that he, himself, cordially sustains the policy of having no connection, direct or indirect,with the Disuuionists ; that he desires above all,and mostofall, to maintain the position in which he has been placed by his record and his norn ination, and also that ho can enter into no coalition with Disuuionists in the free States, who insulted and degraded those gallant men in the Southern States now lighting for the National Democracy, and for the old fashioned principles ot the Democratic party, against a banded oligarchy intent alone upon the des truction of the Union. No TRUE FRIEND of DOUGLAS in Pennsylvania, or elsewhere, can touch an electoral ticket which contains upon it the single name of a JJrcckiiiridge Disttnionisl. If ceil one out of the twenty seven electors Would disgrace a Douglas ticket, precisely as a shig/e drop of subtle poison thrown into a goblet of pure and crystal water might render the whole a deathly potion. Government Corruption. The testimony elicited by the Covode 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 Been, and such as must awake the people to a sense of the stern necessity existing for a re formation. This testimony fixes crime upon crime upon the Democratic adrniif >trution un til the w hole thing looks to be a mas-of loath some and disgusting oliicial putrefaction. The following arc some of the crimes proven : The use of $30,000 or -40,000 to carry the Lcconipton and English bills through Coti gre>s. The stealing of that money from the Unit ed States Treasury, under the pretence of pay ing for printing. The offer of SBO,OOO of the same kind of 6tcaliugs, to Col. J. \Y. barney, it he would support the'Buchanan administration. The most stupendous frauds in " Live Oak" contracts for the Navy, for tlie purpose of en riching political favorites and corrupting elec tions. The fraudulent appointment of political favorites to the office of coal agent which the House delared void. That the Utah army was raised to force Slavery into Kansas against the wishes of the people. The existence of corrupt combinations of federal office holders to carry elections. The use of public money to corrupt tiie bal lot box and to defeat the will of the people ; especially in the Philadelphia Custom House and Navy Yard ; that Mr. Baker and his brother were directly guilty of thus using the public money, the culiro intimacy existing- be tween Buchanan and the Bakers,and his know ledge of and complicity with their corruptions. The donation of SIO,OOO to the* Pennsylva nia:) and a like sum to the Evening Argus from the stealings of the printing funds. The pay ing of large sums of money to men because they were political favorites. That s*>o,ooo per annum was given to po litical favorites under the pretence of " Execu tive Binding," and this amount was in excess of the real cost of the work done. The forging of six thousand naturalization paper- to carry the election in Pennsylvania in JooO, and the franking of them to parties by " Democratic " members of Congress aud Sena tor Big kr. The expending of large stuns ol money in Pennsylvania to organize a third party (like the Bell aud Everett) to defeat Fremont. Ti: RI. LK Aioti, they can not howl or h;ss so much the better." I ne Erie Railroad is to be sold on the 'JOth of November, under foreclosure of the fifth mortgage aud in consonance with the ar rangement for re-organizatiou.

We are entirely aware of the claims of antiquity to in tellectual cultivation and progre . we know that its | poets and orators and sculptors and philosophers and i statesmen attained a lr h d giee of excellence indeed, i nnd yet wc are quite unwilling to yield all the Doctor claims, for the following rea-ons: I'in-t, There can be no foundation for superior excel lence in sti- nee, philosophy, government ami society aside from Christianity, 'i he religion of a people is their life and their law. Second, the philosophy of antiquity was radically defective, it reasoned from the general to tlie particular, from cause to effect, from abstraction to ' its dependencies. 11 iw diff rent this mode from the i modern, that >f seeking for cause by reasoning from ef fects, and inferring the general from an analysis of the particular. 'Hits is the system of the greatest of modern philosophers, Bacon It is the process of observation and experience and lias supplanted all ancient philoso 1 pay of whatever school. Third, Modern invention cud discovery, as 1-t, that of pin powder. Thi-. if not an invention of the moderns, wax first generally used by them in warfare, and its em ployment ha- saved more lives than it has destroyed, it has changed the whole a-pect < f war, rendering it less i barbarous and revolting. ; i 2d. The discovery of the Mariner's Compass, by giv -1 ing an impetus to navigation,colonization and commerce, i has conferred upon the moderns the most important ben ' efits. The discovery, though claimed by the Chinese, was clearly made in modern times, that is A. Lb, 1117. | 3d. The discovery of the art of Printing. Wc arc ! aware that the Chinese claim a priority in this too, but j if wo submit, to their claim, they ask its to go no farther | back than the year 1000 of tbe Christian era. So great j arc the blessings which have their origin in this art, that I : he must lie a bold man who will contend that the world ; will again lapse into barbarism, or that having been | known once in an early antiquity, as the Br. implied, it, the world, has passed through ages of darkness since. I 4th. The Steam Engine, Bail Road and Telegraph are . ' so well known that wc have but to mention them in this connection. I Fourth. We think the sciences atte.-.t the superiority of modern civilization. Astronomy was cultivated by the ancients, but their systems were radically wrong. They supposed the earth to he the centre of tbe system, it is j true that Ptolemy in the second century assumed the ; central position of the sun, but the second century was i clearly the commencement of the modern era. The an j 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 hut 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. I Colchis was regarded by the poet as situated in the ex treme east, where stood a temple of the sun in which the j god of day rested his horses during the night, and front which, in the morning, he drove his chariot through the : Heavens: He indulges largely in the poet's fancy. In j Sicily there were sirens who lured to destroy, magicians j who transformed men into beasts, monsters of strange > 1 form who fed upon the quivering limbs of the shipwreck • ed mariner, and there also were the fabulous Uyclcps with but one eye. The Cimmeriaus dwelt in total dark | ncss at the mouth of tbe sea of Azoph, and the pigmies and dwarfs who fought pitched battles with the cranes, ; according to hi authority, inhabited A.-ia Minor aud the north of Europe. Herodotus 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.— j 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 j respecting it. ' Geology is entirely a science cultivated and built tip . during the latter days of modern civilization. Plato be ( i lieved the earth a huge animal. It is singular that in 1819, 1 Kepler, the illustrious astronomer, should have revived ■ that doctrine, and thought that one day when the tide did . ; not rise, it lay in a fainting tit. Had he lived but a few months ago in Illinois be might have believed the great hurricane a bad cough, or an epilepsy. Chemistry too is a new science. It ia Jjaidly a hundred years since its first principles were discovered. The au cients might have made glass and worked the metals, but their operations were as mechanical as those of the house wife who bakes a loaf of bread. They had hardly begun to dabble in Alchemy in its search for the philosopher's stone. They knew but little of medicine, nnd nothing of phys iology aud rtiuute 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 ticularly unfortunate in his comments upon that great modern discovery—the circulation of the blood. The quotations he 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 he dressed his first wound, to wit, that the blood more*. What Harvey dis covered is the fact that the blood Hows in a circle, —that it goes out from the heart through the arteries to the ex treme circumference of the body, and returns to the 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 driftiug on the current of lite 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 ancients were as ignorant as they were of the Magnetic Telegraph. The application of the Moxa in the case of Mr. Sumner? was, as the Br. 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 nml I thought it nothing singular. Mr. Sumner was an illus trious patient, and he chose an illustrious surgeon. But our notice cf this address is sufficiently extended to indicate our belief in the higher civilization in which we live. We cannot reconcile ourselves to the opinion that two or three thousand years have passed, and yet j our race with so many means of progress has uot ad- ■ vanced,- -that so many hopes and aspirations cliuging to ! our humanity of a coming future, are to be rendered void. 1 In many of his inferences was not the speaker mistaken. ! He referred to Homer, atd yet in matters of history ; i Homer Is not con.- nlcred reliable authority. His heroes ! • and her ines are regarded by many as fabulous. Troy j has no certain existence in the past, and even the poet j himself has been supposed a myth. Again, are we not justified in the absence of such proof as it would be easy ! to render, ia believing that the rail road near the pyra mids spoken of never had existence but in fancy, and : were not the musical sounds said to have been emitted ; i by the statute of Memnon, like the responses of the Bel- 1 phian oracle, but the jugglery of Egyptian priests, and j may we not suppose this to have lieen the cae when au thentic history informs us that the head of the statute was .-buttered by tbe king, Catnbyses, 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 intellectual I effort, it wafar in advance ot anything of the kind we : ever heard. If we differ in opinion we can still admire the talent and research which illumines each Rage,the ' humor which sparkles in the right place,aud the learning which graces the whole performance. It is truly a gem in literature. THE BRADFORD COUNTY MEDIOAI. SOCIETY, ; met at the " Tabernacle " in Tern town on Wednesday, July 11. lsijn. The following members were present: Brs.

Is it not to much limited in the quan'.ity of land ? Would it not be well to extend the present one, or take steps for a new one with ample grounds ? Would it not be well to call a meeting of the citizens of Towanda and vicinity, to couaider t'. c subject. A CITIZEN, " If there's a hole in your coata I rede ye tent it, A child's amang ye takin' notes And faith he'll prent it." San Marino vs. Louis Napoleon. Tom Thumb vs. John C. Heenan. Bradford Herald vs. Educational Editors. It is a matter of regret throughout all creation, that the Bradford Herald has given official notice that it will not tolerate in any degree, any departure from the per fect standard of excellence set up by Murray, Brown, Webster, Worcester, Ac., in any attempt to improve and advance the cause of education, which the above editors may adopt. Not but what the Herald is entirely right in its resolution the scourge by its "remorseless criticism," those unlucky old fogies from the field, and expose them as charlatans aud quacks, if such they prove themselves to be, It L but right that ignorance and incompetence should encounter its just deserts, and be consigned to the I scorn of the world for its presumption in undertaking to enlighten its betters. But why threaten in advance ? Why frighten a man from his path of duty and render him incapable of pursuing it? As the electric eel be numbs his enemy by a weird and ungentlcmanly trick he has, or as a Chinese soldier scares an outside barbarian j into tits, by hit discordant howls. Is it the part of a mag nanimous foe to avail himself of such a seui vy advantage. \ especially when he knows his own power and proWCss and the weakness of his adversary, and that the slightest demonstration of hostility on his part, will strike him ' with a panic, as the thunder kills goslings, or sours milk. For my part, Mr Editor, lam convinced that these chaps : will do some good, aud lh.it we tught to tolerate their ef forts, giving them a lair field for action, and, excusing as far as we cau, in charity, their blunders. It is admit ted that they have passport to our favor in advance, but their " established reputations," and that all their lives to the present. have been miserable failures when judged by the severe rules of" rtwsorstless criticism ," yet, Young America, though conscious of bis superiority, should be magnanimous and forgiving, instead of annihilating lie | should encourage—lustead of crushing lie should foster, ! for there is no error so hoory but it may l that i city, where he found his wife an inmate of a brothel.

The Breckinridge men of Illinois held a State Convention at Springfield Thursday,and nominated a straight ticket for State officers and Presidential electors.
