They had not counted on any such pluck, and we may well believe'that if main tained unyieldingly to the end, wc shall soon sen comparatively little of their bullying black-guardism, and fiery gormandizing. The Soulh hove hitherto met with unvary* Ing success from the perfect unanimity with which they have been handed together. The slave-driving interest but for this would be practically as well as numerically the weak est body ever recognized by a party nomen clature. Nothing has been able to divert their attention from the one sole and engros sing object of their atm. And our great mis chief has arisen from the fact that whatever has most united (hem, has seat most disunion and discord among us at the North. This fact should not be lost sight of; it should be continually in remembrance that the readi. ness with which parlies at the Nbnh have been managed, by the Oligarchy has been the rock on which we have literally split. Wo fondly trust we are growing wiser.— We surely ought, all of us, to be ashamed of being any longer frightened by this cry of the “Union in danger’’ from the few south ern lords of the lash. The five or six mil lions of nun-slaveholders at the South, might well take care of them unless they are indeed the “mean white men” they are called by the negro-drivers. If’so bo our twenty millions of non slave holders shall at last take the reins of author ity from the bunds of the obstreperous lord ing", and refuse longer to bare'lheir backs to the crack of the whip, who shall gainsay their right to do so'! If the puny minority of slave drivers has so lorig unmolestedly controlled the action of government, why may not now the great, incomparable major ity—aye, we may not incorrectly say the Nation itself—try its hind at it for a short lime? Who will contend that it would act loss wisely or less peacefully than the dimi nutive Southern sprig? Certainly it would become no Republican to say so. And there can be no justice in stigmatizing as treasona ble the wiping away the whole tribe of dough faces from the national councils. We desire then, to place in power men who will look to the interest, and honor of the nation, and give expression to the views of the thousand fdld majority-of slavery hating citizens. — This, we opine, is neither criminal nor dan gerous.

Mr. Brodbead deifies the Constitution and seems to consider that the Democratic party sprang (like a certain goddess from the brain of Jove,) full arm ed from it. Mr. Grodhead forgot that this same Constitution was llic ward of the old federal party —than which, to him and every other found demo crat, no party of the post or present is more obnox ious, Once, the idea of consolidation was (ho bag beat- of the Democratic party ; and. tho supposed leaning of the Constitution toward consolidation was the great democratic argument against it. Bat now it is claimed us the corner.slope of modern Democ racy. Tho Federalists, with Washington at their head, were stigmatized os inoaufcliisls by (he embry onic democratic parly.

' ’ *On this amendment New Hampshire'. Mnssachn setts, Connecticut, Maryland, North Carolina, South Carolina and Georgia—7, voted oya. Now Jersey, Pennsylvania, Virginia and Delaware—4, voted no." Thus it is proved diet out of tix Southern Stales four voted for extending the lime tor importing slaves. Mr, Brodhcad says that “while every New England .State voted for this amendment, every Southern Stale with.batlew exceptions, votedogoinsf it" Now Thomas Jefferson says ihst four ouf of six Southern Stales voted for the continuance of the Slave Trade—just s two-thirds majority of the .Southern' delegation 1 ''' >' MV.

The Eud of the Beglunlns* If our up-town neighbor ia to be believed, (lie dem ocratic party in this county is in a pitiable condition. iTaffinns that the ü bone and sinew leaders" went' over to the Know-Nothings last fail, and the “left." ones, who were too timid to go over, or else could not go over, from a variety of causes, (see its pero ration) haven’t spunk enough to step out boldly up on the Democratic platform, “irrespective of the an li-Shvery" question." We can’t help thinking that the “hundreds and hundreds of democrats who were .wheedled into Know-Nolhiiigism last summer" (see the last Eagle) will not feel very highly compliment ed in the remark alludcd to; especially when it is known that these “hundreds and hundreds," if wheedled into the new parly, owe, their conversion to the direct connivance of the would-be Democrat ic leadens by and through whom KnoiD'Nothingiem crept into many sections of thit county . We aro not to disprove our neighbor’s assertion that “the whig* were sold body and breeches to the Know-Nothings last fall," feeling suro that like their democratic brethren “in error," they will appreciate being post ed in a hunker sheet as chattels. Through the somewhat muddy medium of our neighbor’s remarks wo dimly discern the End of the Beginning. We shall not stop to question the Eagle's assertion that the “democratic parly in this county has not in two years, avowed bat jasl two ideas— Rum. and Ne groes;" fur it will bo readily suggested to most minds that our neighbors rhetoric sadly needs reju venating, so that be can distinguish between men and things, and ifieas. It ia true that men presenting temperance and anti-Slavcry resolutions in tho Dem ocratic Convention, did last fall, vote in opposition to tho spirit of those resolutions. And it is true that a few would-be leaders undertook to stand prominent in the anti-Slavery end temperance movement as mouthpieces of the democratic party of (his pounly, and pulled tho Know-Nothing wires to tho best of their abilities, to elect men.openly committed to Rum and Slavery; and this they dubbed consistency I And it is true that some officious temperance men w this county, yea, right hero in this borough, did make long prayers, standing on (he street corners, and such sweet professions of exceeding groat interest in the cause, and at the 'same time phyed secretly into the hands of the Rum ’ power—-always pminsiin? that the .said naxtv wM-*ho temperance parly, or, in other words, that black was White, "rut tunalely, the people did not believe that block either ramblers hod (heir labor for their pains. And it is true that certain gentlemen professed great friendship for Judge Wimot last summer, who now profevs to have discovered him to be insincere in his opposition to Slavery. Nevertheless, Judge Wilmot’a political history was as well known to thorn a year ago as it is now. Is it possible that these conscience-burdened gentlemen merely, asaum cdJo be friendly to Judge W ilmot in order to impose upon the democratic mosses, who are known to ad mire him as they admire all other honest and true men.

That the alarming position of our political uflliirs demand an immediate and cordial union of all freemen, without re gard to former party distinctions. 2. That names are not things, but only the representatives of of things, and as such, not entitled to reverence; therefore we cut loose from name-worship, and enter at once, heart and hand upon the great battle for Free dom a id Human Right. 3. Thru «e are in favor of an immediate and positive prohibition of Slavery by Con gress, tn all the territory under its control, in cluding the District of Columbia, 4. That the repealed and alarming en croachments of the Federal courts and offi cers upon the 1 jurisdiction of our State Courts and our State Sovereignty, demand the im mediate attention of the Legislature, and the enactment of laws for the protection of per sonal liberty. 5. That the removal of Gov. Reeder, the imprisonment of Passmore Williamson by R,.ne, and, and the refusal of Judge Lewis to grant a writ of Habeas Corpus in the case of Williamson, are each and all, fresh evidence of the uttter corruption of both the Executive and Judiciary Departments of our Government, and of their prostitution to the dark purposes of the slave Oligarchy ; and further that the impeachment of Judge Kane should be the initiatory act of the next session of Congress. That the unconstitutional and lyranical conduct of the endives of Freedom, urged on by the support and imbecility of the Federal Administration, has forced upon Ihe country the Slavery issue, which we will meet like brave freemen who knots, and art able lo maintain their most sacred rights. 7. That union without Freedom is a bond age worse than deolb—a chaining of the liv ing' 16 a loathsome corpse. .■ - 8. That the'resolution of theilate Hunker Convention at Harrisburg, placing Pierce on an equality with Jefferson and Jackson, is a great libel against the memory of the latter, and calculated to excite the indignation of every true friend of Freedom. 0. That wo are in favor of a law prohibi ling the traffic in intoxicating liquors as bever ages, as the most effectual protection against the innumerable and terrible evils of intem perance. 10. That consistency and duly require that we should not support any man for office who docs not sincerely endorse the principles of these resolutions.

Convention, both from the press and in pri vate letters, is of the most encouraging char acter. All'speak of it aa a necessary move ment, and the movement for the limes; and this answer comes so generally from all peo ple, press and politicians, that it would seem as if the right chord bad been struck at last. Lawrence county, it will be seen, has led! off in appointing delegates to the Convention, and Beaver doubtless followed at her conven tion yesterday. We are glad to see this course pursued ; but we cannot avoid utter ing a word of caution to our friends against depending altogether upon these appointed delegations. The Convention is to be a Mats Convention, and we want to see the masses at it. Let all our friends, both in the Eastern and Western counties, therefore, who can find it at all possible to leave home then, come here to swell the crowd in attendance, and aid in making a demonstration that will be felt and realized by those who oppose us. It is all right and proper that each county should appoint delegates for its special repre sentation ; but that must not hinder the mas ses from turning out. Arrangements are making and will soon be completed by which persons attending the Convention may pass over nil the Railroads I leading to ihe city at half fare. This may be considered as settled. Invitations have been sent out to the best speakers in the country to be present. Mr, Chase, of Ohio, has promised to come; so has Henry Wilson of Massachusetts ; and we think we may sufi-ly promise that Senator 1 Wade and Mr. Giudings ol Ohio will also *be here. We have uu assurance from friends of Cuables Sumner that he, also, will be here, although he has not yet answered the invitation sent him. Besides these, invita tions have been sent to Hon. Daniel Mace, of Indiana; Hons. L. D. Campbell, T. H. ' Ford, B. F. Leiteb, Samuel Galloway. 1 1). K. Caktter and John A. Bingham of Ohio : Hons. David Wilmot, R. G. White, Townsend Haines, Jno. C. Kunmei, I’ha deus Stevens, Wm. B. Reed and others of Pennsylvania ; Hons. Wji. (1. Seward and B. Butloii o(’ New York ; Hon. JOHN P, Hale of New Hampshire, and Cassius ty. 1 Clay of Kentucky, ll is perhaps too much | to hope that all these gentlemen will accept; j but we think we may say with certainly that Chase, Wade, Giddings, Wilson, Wilmolnnd j the other gentlemen we have nomo from this State will be on bund, and that there is rea ! son to hope for the attendance of Sumner 1 and Hale, We find the following in the Bradford R* porter : Hon. HonacK Williston died at his resi dence in Athens, on Tuesday morning last, in the 74th tear of his age. Mr, W. was one of the oldest members of the bar of the county, and presided over the Courts of this District for some years. He occupied a high position as a lawyer, and enjoyed the respect and esteem of those who knew him, as an upright and honest man. We have known the Hon. Horace Willislon for twenty-five years, and in all that lime, never heard of his doing or saying anything that would injure socieiy, or lower himself m the estimation of the purest and best. With out wealth to give him a factitious importance, he was always among the most influential men of his' neighborhood. Great without a desire to appear so; learned, yet modest as a child ; benevolent to (he extent of his means, but shrinking frorrr any publication of his good deeds, we fee I that he was a model man. While President_ Judge of this District, lie exerted thg happiest, influence on all with whom he came in contact. Were all men of influence like him, there could be no strife or dikeord in socieiy. Peace, harmony, and happiness accompanied him ; for he .was vir tuous, wise and high-minded. The slanderer shrank from his presence, the egotist wa» shamed into modesty, nnd the proud rtlah was humbled. He reproved without woundipg, and encouraged without exalting. He .ha* gone. Though dead he yet happy will it be for ua if we treasure m hon est heaitfs his virtuous precepts and pure e*» ample. —■Coudtrsport Journal. .number of deaths from Yellow Fever in this city- during (he (wcpty-four hours en ding at noon to-day was sixteen.

The convention ought to be attraction eti ough, of itself; but irit should.not be, these names will supply whatever lack there may be in that respect. We appeal to the friends of the Republican movement, everywhere throughout the State, to go to work? at once ami make arrangement! for sending Ibrward large delegations to the convention. Let us have a gathering worthy of the cause j and inaugurate the great parly of the people under auspices at once cheering and prophetic of success. We Would like to see every county in the Stale represented, and there is nothing wanting id*assure it but a.lil lie effort and a moderate display of that zeal which never wearies in well doing.
