The Bell and Douglas Fusion.
The Democratic Convention at Syracuse yes
terday completed its labors. Having thrown
Tamany Hall overboard the day before, and
rushed iuto the arms of Mayor WOOD, it con
summated its work of self-immolation by bury
ing itself iu the embraces of Messrs. HUNT and
BROOKS. And yet its sacrifice is not complete
enough to be magnauiraous, nor bold enough
to be effective. It went just far enough to
give the rump of the old American Party an
excuse for abandoning their own ground, and
going over, bag and baggage, to the Dem
erats. And if it had not gone half so far,the
result would have been precisely the same.
The Convention yesterday put in nomination
au electoral ticket, —giving the Americans
some half-dozen members, —and adopted a
resolution inviting tlie American Committee
with which it has been in consultation,to take
seats upon the floor. These were ail the con
cessions made, —and they were ail that were
needed. The fact is, the leaders of this Amer
ican movemeut have been shivering for a
month lest no door should be opened for their
admission into the Democratic wigwam. They
lost no time iu availing themselves of the crev
ieo at Syracuse, and are now snugly stowed
away under hatches, where they w ill probably
remain until the electiou is over.
We shall probably have now no Bell.and
Everett Electoral ticket in this State. Those
gentlemen have bgen deliberately sold out by
their friends. Gov. HUNT distinctly foreshad
owed this operation iu his speech at the Troy
Convention, and again at Baltimore —and he
has pursued it with steady constancy from the
very beginning. llis main desire has been to
defeat the Republicans,—not so much from any
dissent from their principles at front a fervid
hatred of their leading men. We presume he
would hail the election of BRECKINRIDGE or
LANE, to be President for the next four years
with satisfaction, if it were the only way of
excluding from influence the leading Repub
licans of this State.
It remains to be seen how large a number
of the conservatives, whom he professes to re
present, share his resentments and wiil follow
his example. Wc do not believe their number
will bo large. The fusion will give BRADY
some thousands of votes which could never be
cast for any party in the least allied with the
old American organization. We doubt whether
their loss will be made good by accessions from
other quarters. — JYew York Tim
Gov. REEDERON DOCGI.AS. —'The distinguish
ed Pennylvanian, Gov. Reeder, is now on visit
to Kan>as, where he seems to lie quite popu
lar. He made a speech at Lawrence in which
allusion is made to various incidents which oc
curred while he was Governor of that Terri
tory. And having incidentally to speak of
Douglas, he gives the following, which may be
regarded as ids " private opinion publicly ex
pressed/' of that distinguished individual :
The Governor then passed in his remarks
to a consideration of national politics. Ho
showed how the Republican party has grown
up by a necessity, out of the aggressions of the
slave power. He defended it, triumphantly
agftiosft the attacks of its enemies, and showed
it to be the guardian of popular rights and the
defender of the Con titulion ai d the I'nion.
lie told how be had been a life-long Demo
crat, but he had been forced to leave that
party by its foul treachery to the i glits of the
people. He commente din terms <d great se
verity upon the course of Mr. Douglas. He
said that previous to Mr. Douglas's celebrated
Kansas report, so full of all manner of slander
and falsehood again.-t the people of Kansas,
lie (Gov. Reeder,) being still connected with
the Democratic party, had visited VY ad ington
and at Mr. Douglas's request, had met him,
and had several long interviews with him,aud
fully posted him in regard to the actual facts
of the Kansas difficulties. Other gentlemen
from Kansas, acquaintances of Mr. Douglas,
had done the same, so that he perfectly un
derstood the true state ot the case. Under
these circumstances Gov. Reeder said he look
ed with great interest for Mr. Douglas's re
port, anticipating that he would do justice to
the Free State people. Judge, then, of his
surprise, when, upon taking it up, he found it
filled with the grossest assaults and slanders
upon llicra, the facts of the case entirely sup
pressed or misrepresented, and the whole re
port a burden of fallacy and deceit. " I threw
it from me in disgust." .said the Governor,
" and from that day forward 1 have no confi
dence whatever in the honesty or sincerity of
Stephen A. Douglas."
BLONDIN ON FlßE.— Narroir Psaip> Mons.
Blondin the celebrated tight rope performer,
met with a serious accident a few nights ago
during his exhibition at Cbillieothe.Obio. The
Cincinnati Gazette says: After dtifk he gave
a performance of trundling a wheelbarrow
across a rop<, and to make the feat more ter
rific, be encircled himself in a blaze of fire
works, which were ignited simultaneously with
his starting. Before he had accomplished half
his task, ouc of the pieces prematurely explod
cd and set fire to his clothing. The peril of
his situation could not be seen by the thou
sands of spectators below, in consequence of
the continued emissions of sparks, nnd the ad
venturous Blondin had nothing to do but walk
the rope and suffer the torture of being slowly
roasted. Having accomplished the distance,
he, by his own efforts, succeeded iu extinguish
ing the flames, but not before his buck was
very badly burnt. The rope was stretched
across the strect.at a distance of 15 feet above
the ground, a;ul none save Blondin could have
withstood the pain lie must have suffered.—
YVe arc inclined to the opinion that the Mons.
will not attempt any more tight rope perlor
ances with pyrotechnic concomitants. It is
very well to hazard the surging waters of
Niagara, in hand baskets, coffee sacks, Ac.,
but shrouded in a sheet of llaine, with a chance
of burning to death, added to that ot tailing,
smacks a little too much of the dangerous to
be much relished even by the intrepid Blon
din.

CURTIN AND rOSTER BEFORE THE PEOPLE.
Andrew G. Curtin, by word, action and pre
cept., has always declared to the people, that
he is in favor of the Constitution and the per
petuity of the Union of the United States at
all hazards.
But Ilencry D. Foster has not said wheth
er he is for Union or Disunion—whether for
Douglas and I lie Northern Democracy, or
Breckinridge and the Southern Democracy—
the one for Union, and the other for Disunion.
And as ho can not go for both parties, the
people can not tell whether he is for the Con
stitution and the union, or whether he is
against the Constitution and for dissolution. :
Curtin everywhere boldly affirms that he is
for Lincoln aud Hamlin, and that he is oppos
ed to the extension of slavery iuto the territo- '
ries of the United States that are now free.
But Foster has not said who he is in favor
of for President—whether for Douglas or
Breckinridge—and the people can not know
whether he is for the extension of freedom or
slavery in the territories.
Curtin opposes by all honorable means the
reckless extravagance of the present Adminis
tration, by which bankruptcy, suffering and
ruin has beeu brought upon the country.
But Foster has not told the people whether
he is for Douglas and a change of policy or
whether he is for Breckenridge and the con
tinuation of the same ruinous administration.
Curtin supports and fearlessly advocates the
passage of a free Homestead law by Congress
for the benefit of the American people.
But Foster has not informed the peojde
whether he L in favor or opposed to that im
portant measure.
Curtin has always been in favor of a tariff
that would not only provide revenue for the
support of the government, but will secure to
the working men liberal wages, to agricultural
remunerating prices,toincehanincs and mauulac
turers an adequate reward for their skill and
labor, and to the nation commercial prosperity
aud independence.
But Foster has heretofore been opposed to
the protective policy, and even now has laid
down no definite principle on the tariff ques
tion he has so lately espoused, by which the
people can ascertain his position—but like all
other Democratic protectionists will make them
known after the election.
Let the people of Pennsylvania then look
at the two Candidates. Andrew G. Curtin,
with the bauner of his policy blazing before
them, every word of which may be seen and
read of all men, asks the people, with their
eyes open, to vote for a policy that will both
benefit and bless every citizen of Pennsylvania.
Ilenry D. Foster, without a platform or prin
ciple, not even daring to say whether he is for
Douglas or for Breckeuridge, for Union or
Disunion, for the Constitution or against it,for
freedom or for slavery extension,like Polk aud
Dallas ask the people to elect him to office
without regard to either principle or policy.
HEAVY HAIL STORM AT CORNING. —A very
seveie hail storm visited Corning about four
o'clock on Saturday afternoon. The rain and
hail fell in torrents, almost literally, for a
few minutes giving the streets the appearance
of having undcrgoue a regular equinocial.
The only damage done was to corn, several
pieces of which were beat to the ground. It
appears to have beeu part of the same storm
that wrought such destruction at Watkins.—
Rain fell at Elmira at the same time. Satur
day night, the river rose some twelve iucbes.

K. 11. MASON, Secretary,
I XSTOTTES. —As the time for holding the
Teachers' Institutes for the fall of ISGO approaches, we
hope the teachers in every township of the county will
begin to make their arrangements to attend at least one,
during its whole ses.-ion. These teachers' drills arc lie
coming, or indeed have become, permanent fixtures to
our school system, and attend nice upon them -liiuld he
made a matter of duty with teachers. If any are so
: wire as to not need the instruction daily given at these
' meetings, they are just the ones to attend and romtnuni
i rate their superabundance, to others less favored.
Young teachers, and such persons as have never yet
j taught but intend to, should never suffer an opportunity
: of attending au institute to pass unimproved, they need
! just such a drilling as is given at these teachers' gather
ings. Let teachers remember, that by being engaged in
| other business for six or eight months, they become rus
| ty, and before the winter schools commence they should
| take some pains to sharpen up tlicir teaching powers,
j and recall partially forgotten ideas. The times of hold-
I ingtbe live drills, are not yet fixed, but the places were
fixed by the teachers themselves at the meetings last
j fall. One is to be held in Windham, one at Sm it hfield,
| one at Alba, one at Monroe,and one at Mcrryall.
Be it and it is hereby Ordained by the Town

Iter The Washington Correspondent of the
JYcw York 7'imcs advances a theory relative to
the alleged Abolition incendiary tires in Texas
which may be worthy of attention. He be
lieves it is Dot improbable that they have re
sulted from the extreme drouth which prevail
ed in that State. At any rale the stories cir
culated are of the most exaggerated character.
The statement that two thousand white Abo
litionists were in Anderson County is only one
specimen of the absurd fictions which have
been promulgated. The total vote of the
couuty last year was only 1,100, and it would
not require so large a body of Abolitlouists to
frighten all the slaveholders out of it. Anoth
er theory of these alarms may be found in the
fact that the Texans are very solicitous of in
ducing the Government to send a force of U. S.
troops iuto the State. Meantime reports con
tinue to reach us of outrages of various kinds
throughout the Slate. At one point a young
man had been hung, as alleged, for giving
strychnine to slaves, with which to poison the
wells. At another a preacher had been hung
for being an Abolitionist. Two other persons
had received the same delicate attention else
where. A significant commentary on all this
excitement, however, may be found in the fact
that the people of Henderson, although their
towu has suffered severely from tire, are re
ported to be unwilling to believe that any con
spiracy exists.
THE FUSION' I'l.or OVERTHROWN. —Tens of
thousands of Democrats in Pennsylvania, and
in many other quarters of the Union, will re
joice to ham that the action of the Demo
cratic Executive Committee, which represents
the Douglas sentiment of the State, at llarns
burg yesterday,effectually and completely over
throws the infamous fusion plot which was
concocted by the Disuniouists, and sustained
by the Welsh Committee in Philadelphia on

On Thursday. August 10, after a long illness of uuexam
pled severity, Mis. J. AMELIA POWELL, consort of
Stephen Powell ol North Towanda, iu the tilith year ot
her age.
In this Borough, Saturday evening, 18th inst., of Con
sumption, Mrs. KMMELiN'E A. wife ot Isaac L. Lam
oreux, and eldest daughter of J. D. Goodeuough, Esq.,
aged o2 year's aud If days.
Consumption, in its ghastly form, came upon her near
ly four years since, afflicting her with the most excruci
ating agony a greater portion of the time ; but she ut
tered ueither murmur or complaint. Submitting cheer
fully to this dispensation of Divine Providence, to the
last moment of her life her countenance preserved a se
renity equal to the purity of her miud aud the affection
ate tenderness of her heart. '• The world is unacquaint
ed with the excellence of her character ; for she was on
ly known to those whom she has left behind to bewail
her fate." Wife, mother, sister, daughter—a fond fan
well !
In Albany twp.. April 'Jo. Mis FIDELLAELMORE
OWEN,daughter ot the late Daniel and .Saliv Ann
Owen, of Monroeton.
Hiss OWEN had gone a few days before to visit some
friends in Albany, where she was suddenly called to go
to other friends iu a happier sphere. Iler health ha.-> long
l>een failing. Consumption, that enemy of human life,
which has of late ha'd so many victims, had marked her
for his prey.
Possessed of an amiubie disposition, and a considerate
habit of mind, none knew her but to love. These native
virtues were adorned and sanctified by the graces ol an
humble faith in Christ. Site made a public profession of
that faith, some ten years since, in uniting with the
Presbyterian Church of Monroeton, which profession she
lived to adorn.
Her afflicted friends have this consolation in sorrow,
that what is their loss, is her unspeakable gain.

She left her kind friends, to visit us here,
We thought uot the death angel hovered so dear,
So strange are the ways of our Father on high,
She came but to. teach us how a christian cuu die.
To us she was sent, as a light from above,
Wiuing our hearts, by her patience and love ;
She taught us the power of Jesus to save.
His power to redeem, from sin, death, and the grave.
Though her spirit fluttered to be away,
Imprisoned still, in its house of clay ;
She asked for patience, his time to wait,
Till he should open the golden gate.
She seemed in our midst like angel of light,
She smilingly spoke of her home so bright,
And though other hearts with grief were riven,
Her pure soul longed for its flight to heaven.
Kind friends were watching the sufferer dear,
Eager each parting word to hear ;
Oh weep uot, she murmured, weep not for me,
Dear trieu<ls 1 am longing my Savior to see.
I fear not the grave, its terrors are o'er,
My Savior has passed through its portals before ;
Kind friends I have tarried with you but a night,
But we'll meet, never to part, in yon heaven so bright.
We think of Fidelia, hut we shed not a tear,
We witnessed her suffering, her pain so severe,
So calmly she bore them, though she longed to be gone
To see her Redeemer, aud the heavenly throng.
Oh weep not for her, she has passed to her rest,
Even now she is tuning her harp with the blest,
With her bright palm of victory she beckons us on,
Mother, sisters, and brother, she waits you to come.
For a season your parted, she's passed on before,
On earth Fidelia will greet you no more ;
Vet a guardian angel she still hovers near,
A our love hearts to gladdeu, your pathway to cheer.
Be shure that your loss is her infinite gain,
She's freed from ail suffering all anguish and pain :
A brother was waiting to welcome her home,
Redeemed and united, tliey sing round the throne.
To the memory of Durance It. Otren, and Fidelia F.
Owen. IVoids of connotation to iheir mother :
Afflicted child endure thy cross,
Thy faith though sorely tried,
For God hath sent this two-fold loss.
Thy life in Christ to hide.
Dear Mother though thy children lie
Together in the grave,
Their souls with Jesus dwell on high,
These God delights to save.
On earth these pilgrim's joined hand,
In Jesus ever one,
And gave their hearts, at God's command,
To glorify his son.
Lament not Mother, child of grace,
Thy father speaks to thee :
In glory shall thou face to face,
bchviii lamb? and Me-

up all hope ok recovery, as nothing gave we
through the persuasion of a friend I was induced to tr

first bottle relieved ine considerably, and the third bottv
cured me entirely. 1 now feel as we las ever J did in ■
