11. A. Picking, Esq., then offered the fol
'awing 'resolutions, which were unanimously
adopted:
Re3o?red, That the nomination of JAMES
lluctliNlNT for the office of President of the
United States is most heartily approved by
this Convention; not for the reason that he is
a citizen of Pennsylvania, but because he is
qualified to administer the government of this
country as the Constitution contemplates
that it should be administered, and because,
further, he is a statesman of acknowledged
experience and ability, in whom the people
have confidence, and whose entire public life
is a guarantee that every act of his adminis
tration will redound to the credit and honor of
the nation.
Resolved, That in JOHN C. BRECKINRIDGE,
who has been placed en the ticket with JAs.
BCCHAXAN, fur the office of Vice President,
the party has a candidate in whom it is just
proud, and the country a man stamped with
the true evidences of greatness.
Resolved, That the Democratic party of
Adams county denounces now, as it has here
tofore denounced, the dangerous, because un
constitutional and proscriptive, order of Know
othings, and warn their fellow citizens of all
previous party distinctions, a..ainst all affilia
tion with it, either when sailing under its
own distinctive name, or that of fusion with
any other ism or faction—the "rulingpassiou"
inducing such- combinations, Lein ;-solely the
desire for office. _
iec.sydred. That we cordially commend the
ticket this day nominated, to the hearty sup
port of the people of the county, comf,ining,

The Commissioners appointed to strike off
a portion of Menallen township, and attach

ses of the now line among the thickets and
rooks of the Mountain ridges, on last Tuesday,
the 12th inst., came upon a den of Snakes,
under the edges of two rocks, the horrid, his

which was furnished with a musical play

with an unnumbered sprinkling of Garter and
Black Snakes. • The old Rattle Snakes con

some of which were a foot in length.
Nit this spectacle stirred nothing but the
spirit of sport in the c; in carriers and the
brave sons of the hills who were pioneering
the way. They immediately commenced the
work of extermination, and ceased not until
there was no more such work to be done.—

Ilis.s.oll ti Election.
ST. Loris, Aug. l?.—Sufficient returns have
now been received to warrant the announce

ticket :
Governor—Truston Polk ; Lieut. GovernOr
—Hancock Jackson ; Attorney-General —Ben
jamin Massey; Auditor—E. B. Ewing; Treas
urer—W. H. Buffington.
The above are all Democrats, and it is con
ceded that their majority will average 7,0i10.
The Congressional districts have been heard
from, and, the new delegation, it is believed,
will stand five Democrats and two Americans,
not counting Akens, who is elected simply to
fill a vacancy. _
The Legklature will be largely Democratic.

Kentucky Election
The Lexington Stateuirin remarks upon the
late election in that gallant State' as follows :
The Result is Kentucky.—The indications
of the result of yesterday's election in Ken
tucky are, that the -State has probably given
a hrge Democratic majority. In every Coun
ty heard from, except Franklin, the Demo
cratic gain has been even beyond the expecta
tions of our most sanguine friends. This we
regard as but the harbinger of better news in
future. A majority of 10.000 must now be
regarded as a Moderate estimate of the vote of
Kentucky for Buchanan and Breckiuridge.
