Latterly Democratic papers have become very bitter in their attacks upon Col. Curtin, the People's candidate for Governor. The oer tainty of his eleotion, we presume, has excited their ire. They would, doubtless, be more mild and indulgent toward one, who had less chances of an eleotion, and who less endangered their political prospects. Opposition Journals, so far as our knowledge extends, have treated General Poster with fairness, courtesy and can dor. Not a word has been said against him personally. General Poster, in one of the first speeches, made after his nomination, spoke in the highest terms of his political rival. We could only wish that hie example should be fol lowed by the supporters of his cause. In the work of personal detraetion, the Allentown Democrat le equal to the vilest of the vile. No slander, soyile, it will not retail ; no falsehood so glaring, it will not endeavor to circulate ; no depths of infamy, so deep, to which its Ed itor will not sink, if necessary, to help,(aa he supposes,) the fortunes of the Democratic Par ty. The mendacious and libelous articles, found in the Democrat, have long since depriv ed it of credit with honest and intelligonflnen and should banish it from every respectable family in the county. We speak thus with reluctance of a political opponent, and are on ly oompolled to do so by its libellous, vulgar and mendacious attack upon Col. Curtin, in last week's issue. We shall reply to the charges, made upon CoL Curtin, so far as our knowledge extends. The Editor charges, that Col. Curtin, in the winter of 1858, was engaged in lobbying through the Legislature an iniquitous bill for the sale of the Public Works to the Sunbury and Erie Railroad Company. We pronounce the charge false. The bill for the sale of pub lic works was passed, when both branches of the Legislature were Demooratio, and when there was a Demooratio Governor in the chair. Governor Packer was denounced by. Democrat• io papers, and conventions, for his alledged dishonest connection with the sale of the pub lic works. We do not regret, that the public works were sold. If, however, the State was robbed in the sale, Democrats did the work, and the Democratic) party must bear the re sponsibilitj. The Editor charges, that Col. Curtin was en gaged by the Pennsylvania Railroad Company, last winter, in engineering through the Legis lature a bill, for the repeal of the tonnage tax, whereby the tax-payers of the state would be robbed of $300,000 annually. We pronounce the charge again false. No such bill was evor offered in the Legislature, last winter. Col. Curtin was not in attendance on the Legisla ture. He may have, accidentally, stopped at Harrisburg, during the session, for a day or so, but never longer, and wo learn from the Al lentown Democrat, for the first time, that the Pennsylvania Rail-road Company ever thought of attempting, last winter, the repeal of the tonnage tax. This same mendacious Jounial. the-Allentown Democrat, last fall, on the eve of the election. circulated the Falsehood, that $2,500,00,0r $8,000,00, was employed by this same Rail -road Company, for the purpose of electing Opposition Assemblymen, from Le high and Carbon counties, favorable to the repeal of the tonnage tax. One of the Op position candidates for Assembly, (Samuel J. Kistler, Eeq.,) was elected and yet no attempt was made to repeal the tonnage tax. Both branches of the Legislature were overwhelm ingly Opposition. Why was the attempt not made? Was it because of a.Deanooratio Ckrver nor, whom Democrats, themselves, had con demned, as dishonest? It was known, before the election, that Packer was Governor, and the company would not have invested large sums of money, if they knew Governor Packer to be an insuperable obetaole in their way. The Editor lied last fall and he lies again. We will nob say, that General Foster is pbsdied to favor the repeal of the tonnage tax. It would be unjust to say so without conclu sive proof. Of several things, however, we are certain, and they are, that, at times past, . acted as Attorney of the Pennsylvania • Company, and that he liven on the Company's, Works. Col., Curtin • • don of the State, among •rest in the repeal of 1 Poster, when a did vote for a bill tax. This is • enied. Curtin is Aim.las, • • • what fin Massif . Senator %galas is the flret ineteakee of a Preeldential candidate stumping the country in behalf of his own , claims.' The office has been considered too high and exalted to be de 'graded to the level of pot.house politics. We trust that in hii overwhelming defeat the bad prattle°, for the first time inaugurated, may 'find its qnietus, so that no one will undertake hereafter to imitate the example of the bold, impudent, reckless and unprincipled agitator, wtio for the past six years has let loose upon the country the dogs of sectional agitation::— When Senator Douglas started out on his elec tioneering tour North, he gravely stated, that he was on a visit to his mother, in the State of New York, and that ho was iu search of the graves of his fathers in Now England. He is now down in North Carolina, and has neither seen his mother, nor found the graves of hie fathers, although he has roamed over New York State and the whole of. Now England. His pretense for going South, was that he wished to attend to tho settlement of the estate of some friends of his deceased wife. He is searcely below Mason & Dixon's line, before we:hear'orappointmenta for speeches in Eastern Pennsylvania. We will venture to assert that be has not 'Liven four minutes of his time and attention to that estate, of which so much has been said. If he wishes to stump the country on an electioneering tour, w has he not the manliness enough to say so Jones? Why at tempt to deceive the people by vain and false pretenses ? A more noted Demagogue has nev er been known in the history of American politics. Poster and Curtin on the Stump together. Hon. Henry D. Foeter him challenged Col. Curtin to address the people of the State from the stump upon the political issues of the day, The challenge was promptly accepted, and.the arrangemente for the canvass will be made by Mr. Welsh ani McClure, Chairmen of the Stab.. Executive Committees of the two oppos ing parties. The challenge comes rather late in the canvass. Col. Curtin has already pass ed over half of the State, and•arrangementa hove long since been completed for canvassing the balance of the State. Col. Curtin is already worn by the labors of the campaign, whilst Foster has remained quiet at home. Still we are glad that the challenge ,has been =lade, and we have no doubt. Col. Curtin will avail himself of the opportunity of finding out the opinions of General Foster upon the political questions, which agitate the public mind and which now divide the Democratic party. IlifirAndrew G. Curtin is amply,able to de fend his own character and prbteot his own reputation—but we submit to those who in dulge in inuendo against both. that if private character is to be made an issue in this con test--if the privacy surrounding the domestic history and professional career of the Gub ernatorial candidates is to be invaded, let those who commenced this warfare conceal their candidate in a darker and a deeper cave than the one into which they plunged him when they refused to allow him to appear be fore the Democratic State Contral Committee at Cresson. Let them oloth , him in garments of brass and steel, if they do not wish to see him fall, blasted and withered by the truth, the truth brought from among the archives of Pennsylvania and the records of Westmoreland county.—Harrisburg Telegraph. PROFESSION vs. PRACTICE. --The false profes sions of Pennsylvania • Democrats in regard to a protection tariff are again fully illustrated in the fact that they have thrown overboard the late Representative at Harrisburg from Carbon county. Mr. Long was the only Democrat in the Legislature who voted with the Republi cans to instruct our senators and Represerita-. tiyee in Congress to vote for a proteetive tariff. This was an impardonable sin in the eyes of slave-oode Democracy, and it has therefore been ordained by the Carbon and Lehigh Democracy that Mr.. Long shall have leave to stay at home, and. a better Democrat sent in his stead ; ono who understands "the ropes" of Democratic manoeuvering and shifting on the tariff question. (Er We obmmond the• following to the anti progressive party of this county, (the Demo orate,) who quake in their boots when Yancey makes a'speeoh and Keitt issues a pronuncia mento. It le from the English Quarterly Re view for'Mareh, 1842. It will bo apt to cure the night-mare with which our old fogy Demo crats are troubled: "We are not advocates for visionary pro jects that interfere with useful establishments. Ws scout the idea of a railroad as impractica ble. *What can be more palpably absurd and ridiculous than the prospects held out of lam motives traveling twice as fast as stage ooach es? We should as soon expect the people of Woolwich to suffer themselves to be fired eff upon one of Oongreve'e ricochet rockets, as to put themselves at the mercy of such a machine, going at such a rate." AN ABOLITION CIANDIDATB.—The Abolition ists met in oonvention at Syracuse N. Y. last week and nominated Gerrit Smith for the Presidency. Gerrit appeared, acknowledged the Compliment, expressed but poor hopes for the success of abolitionism at present, and paid $50,00 toward paying the expenses of printing tiokets. Gerrit was a candidate be fore the people in 1856, and his success this fall, we believe, will be about equal to his success then. The Houston Demoorate of New York have formed a full electoral ticket ; and the Evening Post thinks it will get from 8.000 to 10,000 votes in that State. , A similar ticket is to be formed in New Jersey. The candi dates of this branch of the Democratic family are : Sem. Houston, of Texas, for President ; and Commodore Stockton, of. New Jersey, for Vice President IliekaLeary M. Fuller and his 'brother plot ters have been taken to task by the Harris burg papers for sending out the monstrous telegraphic canard of an " immense Bell acd Everet meeting at Harrisburg, in whioh every congressional district in the State was fully , represented." The gairishurg papers say that there wore only twenty five Bell men pree ant, and they were nearly all from Philadel phia. COMORIIIIIIONAL Nom ENATIONs.—The People's party of Philadelphia, in the fout Congree atonal dietriots have made the following nom inations for Congress let distriot, John M. Butler; 2d. district, E. Joy Morris, (renomi nated; 3rd district, John P. Verne ; 4th die- It has not come to light yet which of the two fusing factions is to be cheated by the Know Nothing and Douglas wire•workers and plotters. It may be the Irish and German Democrats, or it may be the rank and file of the Know Nothing or American party. The evidence is strong on both sides. The New York Express, the chief organ of the Know Nothing party, speaking of the ten Know- Nothings on the Douglas electoral ticket, says: " The Bell and Everett electorb will, if elecliti ed, vote for Bell and Everett in the electoral ofil.- lege." It will be seen by this that the Expr ess , seems to speak with confidence and autho rity There are no ife in the case ; It does not quib ble about the _matter, but asserts boldly, and without reser ve,. that these ten Know-Noth ings on the New York Douglas ticket will vote for Bell and Everett, if elected. On the same mongrel electoral ticket we find the name of Mr. Oswald Ottendorfor, editor of the New York Staatazeitung. Mr. Ottendorfer was taken to task severely by the Germans of New York for allowing his name to appear on the same tiokot with ton Ameri cans or Know-Nothings. The Abend-Zeitung also charges, first, " that of the 35 electors nominated at Syraduse, 10 aro Know-Nothings ; second, that these 10 Know Nothing are under no obligation to vote fur Douglas, if elected ; third, that their votes in the electoral college would be given to the Know Nothing or Amer ican candidates." To this ohargo Mr.Ottendorfer, in the &data Zeitung, replies with more force than polite ness, that "each of these statements is a lie." He denies all these charges, and he avers that nothing in the proceedings of the S3rraouse convention would ju stify anybody in making snob assertions. Having denied these asser tions in a manner that shows the intensity, of hie excitement, he further says : " At the Democratic State Convention at Syracuse it was expressly understood, and in the proceedings of the State Committee it was declared, that the electors appointed by this Convention, in care of their election, should, under all circumstances, cast their votes for Douglas and Johnson, and that the result of the Presidential canvass, either in this or any other State, should in no wise influence (or change) this determination—that, therefore, every vote given for this' ticket shall count WHOLLY ♦ND ENTIRELY for Douglas and John son." Now this Is not the version given to the Sy mouse bargain by the Know Nothing journals •and orators. The Express says to its Know Nothing readers : " Better ten votes than none." The S'Eaatazeitung avers that these ten Know Nothings are used only to get the Bell- Everett men to vote for the Illinois demagogue. Washington Hunt, the principal intriguer in setting up this fusion ticket, said in his speech in Jersey City: " These ten electors, if ekcted, will vote for Bell and Everett." The Troy Whig, the Know Nothing organ of Central New York, says : , "The ten Americans on the electoral tiokot are honorable :men, and if elected, will oast their votes for Bell and Everett." Now why is it that all these attempts at fission end in confusion t Simply because the politicians—the oontracting parties—are not governed by princip le: 3 they are a ft er the spoils; and in their lied zeal in concocting schemes for the defeat of the Republican nom inee for President they forget the important fact that the rank and file are generally actua ted by higher and better motives and cannot comprehend why they should unite or fuse for the sole purpose of beating a certain candidate ! Nay, what a humiliating eight to see the once proud and powerful Demooracy (7) down on their knees before the high priests of Know Nothingism, begging those whom they onoe so fiercely and fearlessly denounced to " save them from the wrath to come." • And if we glance at the elements which the political plot ters are attempting to unite, the spectacle seems still more singular. When men attempt to unite two such antagonistic elements as Irish Catholicism and Know•Nothingism, we have no alternative but to believe that they must be very nearly related to the old gfintleutun called "Phool." I am aware that in the eyes of these fusionists anything is practicable that looks to a grasping of the spoils; but when they come to the rank and file, the masses, the men who do the voting, they will find that these incongruous elements cannot be united ; as well might they attempt to unite oil. and water. If there is one adopted citizen within my hearing,—and I would not appeal to him as a foreigner, but as an American citizen—l would say to him, " Do you now see the falsi ty of those appeals of the Democratic press to your prejudiced, not as American citizens b as foreigners 7" They appeal to your prejti dices as foreigners—they do not even boor you with the name of American citizens—to come forward and vote the Democratic tiAket, while at the seine time they are plotting and and bargaining to sell your votes to thosewhom they have denounced as your bitterest enemies. Suppose, for instance, that you, my fellow citizens who have come across the waters, should become a party to this union of Demo crat. and Know Nothings, and the fusion should succeed, what sort of a triumph would that be for you t Bear in mind the words : "Though strong their oars, still stronger is their fate. They guile! and while they triumph they expire!"' Even if we overlook the fact, that the Demo =tie party would mingle you now with those whom they have taught you to regard as your foes, what else do they offer you in return for your votes 7—Free trade and Slavery I—the degradation of labor to the level of slavery ! We (Republicans) offer you protection. for your labor from European competition, the freedoni of the territories, and homes upon the' public domain for you and your brothers, who have come across the deep blue sea. Nor would we insult you by offering you a home in a slave territory, where your labor weal come in competition with slave labor. INT:); we seek to stay the further epread of that in cubus to free labor, and would offer you free homer upon freeterritory Nor are we egreri ane, that we would seek to place all apta level with each other ; nor do we seek to do away with ell the ills that humanity is Afflict ed with ; but we do seek to alleviate the suf ferings of the poorer classes and pleeethem on a higher level, for we know eat the true wealth and greatneetrof a natioc consists not in the strength of its ainiles and navies, but in the comfort and independence of its laboring classes ; its real glory consists not in the splen did palace, lofty spire, or towering dome, but in the intelligence, comfort, and happiness of the firesides of its citizens. And knowing that slave labor degrades both the slave and the master, that it brings into disrepute the labor of the free white man, and that itis a stupend ous monopoly which opposes and oppresses the poor white laborer of the North by opposing a protective policy, therefore we seek to prevent its further extension, and would give the pub lic domain to free white labor, so that it may add to the glory, wisdom, and prosperity of the nation. " What constitutes a State? Not high-raised battlement or labored mound, Thick wall or moated gate: Not cities proud, with spires end turrets orowned I men, high-minded men." 15ouTit WHITEHALL, August 25. Maws. EDITORS :—As your paper is open to all kinds of intelligence, allow me to give you an outline of a Democratic meeting held out here on the evening of the 23rd inst., at Guths vile. In point of numbers it ranged between a hundred and a hundred and twenty,—littlo boys included. Laying all else aside, let us see what has been said. First speaker was Mr. Barton from Cataaauqua. With this gen tleman I•have frequently conversed on politi oal topics, at which times ho alwajs expressed a deep-seated aversion to the tariff ; pronounc ing it the biggest humbug nut. This opinion not agreeing with mine,—l however believed him to be conscientious. But alas 1 what a transmigriticationis produced in the mind of this man when he faces an audience unani misty for tariff ! At least so web so disc our party friend • convention of t i . be he a COlindlniflOATlONAL The Now York Fusion. he vehemently speaks in favor of it. This, thinks I, is enough to satisfy ma of this man's political honest'. He concluded on popular at sovereignty. I must .however not for to hold up to him tho sheer untruth he a against our " Honest Old Abe," saying at he voted Igainst supplies for the Mexican army; when it is known the world over, what his po sition was on the war, namely : That he op posed the opening of the War, . but when that " conflict" was found to. be " irrepressible" and declared, he was always found among the first to vote for supplies for the innocent soldiers. So much for Barton. Marx cornea next, principal subject—Negro equality. He tried to make folks believe that the Republican party was pilaf( to establish an equality, socially, morally and politically, between the blacks and the whites. Poor man I Have you not courage enough to face the true principles of the party ? It does not appear so. Next be levels a bibadside on the " Wide Awakes." He remarked that these are the identical Know-Nothings, with this difference, that the K. N.'s used to carry con cealed light, and the " Wide-Awakes" oarr l y them on the shoulders. Good Marx I This man concluded with a " popular sovereignty" dose and a word on the Dred Scott decision. Stiles appeared next. Ho was oonsiderably troubled with Andy Curtin. After exhaust ing all his vocabulary of defamatory words on him, he suddenly fell into a dissolution of the Union swoon ; whore he fairly made himself an object of pity,—standing before an audi ence composed of men, at least no fools, preach ing such despicable, nonsense. Well I suppose he done the best ho ouuld. Bravo John ! Next comes the renowned Able. (By this time the crowd had become rather thin, having withdrawn into the bar-room, where .Lagor,-- their favorite drink, wee to bo had in abun dance.) This Able had rather an improve ment ou Marx's opinion of the Wide Awakes. After (as he thinks) bringing them to a level with the Know-Nothings, on top of that asserts, that it is 'nothing but a band of rowdies and drunkards. The Republioans4l think, have just cause of being alarmed, on aocountof the vast influence such a man wields ; having be longed to all shades of partiee,—temperance an anti-temperance. This man therefore must have considerable experience. Surpris ing however that his experience, and the wis dom obtained thereby hai never yet gained him an office. Let an uncharitable people re form and elect him to any office—excepting where he gets the disposal of any amount of money, for it might be appropriated to private instead of public) use. Mr. Woolever had the honor of putting the finale to the whole performance. The best generally comes last. Here is hie whole speech verbatim : Fellow Citizens :—(Applause.) Demoorits of Lehigh, (applause,) you have an importtnt duty to perform, (applause,) you must peipet siate the glorious Democratic party, (apphuse.) This groat and noble Democratic party is der tined to save the Union. (Applause.) Va must put down these vile, corrupt Republican Abolitionists, (applause,) stand by this pat and glorious Democratic party, that has ,toed since the foundation of our government cad all is safe." The speaker retired with deafeninsicheers. (The groat amount of spirits imbibe9rthrough the evening accounts, I think, fug the vast amount of applause elicited during the last speech.) Through the course 0 1 the whole proceedings I have not heard s single word said against the principles of t/e Republican party. Their very silenoe oosterning the true issues of the parties is enoug) to satisfy any candid man of the strength, And unassailable ness of our principles and ue weakness, and groundlessness of those ofv.ae Democracy. AUDITOR. NORTH Wt/TEII , August 27. DEAR Enirotts : —Tarsuant to previous no tine,Cur- tin the friends of .linooln, Hamlin and publio house of Elias Kuntz, on Saturday form ing themselves hto a Club. The people turn evening, August2sth, for the purpose of form ed out in a gorily number. The meeting was called to ( iron., and the first thing was the election of Actors. Owen L. Sohrieber, was chosen Pissidsint, __Ms. SohroMor lorool. YIN. eMblo and give / Alm the next topic' in order, to be the glee ' n of Vice President and Secretary. w i Emelt hoads was chosen for the former of fice, a John P. Kohler for the latter. In the ti/sence of a constitution, the chair ap pointed Messrs. L. D. Steckel, Wm. H. Price andLowis P. Hecker as a committee to draft a,preamble and resolutions , to express the viawa of the meeting. The committee retired, Old at this stage of the proceedings, " The tiGnionsville Braga Band" made their appear ance, who treated the audienoe, with excellent and appropriate music. This band understand's their business, and in the oouree of time will make an A No. 1 Band. Long may they blow. The, foramentioned committee, now made their appearance, and read and presented their re-' port. Condemned the detrimental course of the present administretiospind argued claims, strong and weighty, whf Abraham Lincoln, should be elected in the Presidential chair.— William Leisenring to/v addressed the meet ing in the German language. He raked up, the frauds and pericries, that have cursed this administration of Ames Buchanan, and show ed that the Denooratio party is so corrupt, that she can nolonger be trusted. Mr. Lets enring was extremely witty and kept the lis teners in a god cheer all the time. Next. L. D. Steckel addressed the meeting, also in the German language. He discussed the princi ples of tht , Republican party, and exhibited their oonsbtenoy and usefulness. He argued the benelt of the tariff and homestead bill.— The lair he defined very clearly and beauti fully. After this speech, John P. Kohler en ierWied the audience, in the English language. Hearted out with the assertion, that he be. HOW that he was speaking to members of every party, and that he would endeavor• to ~,iow them all how, they could consistently sustain, the doctrines of the Republican party. He reviewed and examined the platforms and candidates of tho different parties, and held up the fallacy and corrupt tendencies of each of the other parties, and wound up by giving his reasons, why the principles of the Republican party were constitutional and true. After this gentleman .had finished, on motion, the chair appointed Messrs. J. P. Kohler, L. D. Steckel and Charles Schaffer a committee to draw up a constitution for the club, and report at the next meeting, which will be on Saturday even ing, September the let, at the public house of Milady 3r, Clausen".. , On motion the club adjourned, and every Republican went home, strongly confirmed in his faith, and some of the Democrats wavering. Thanks are due to the accommodating host, Elias Kuntz, for his unswayable willingness to make everything agreeable for the meeting. So much for the first meeting of the North Whitehall Ropublican Club, and you may rest assured we wily keep the ball a rolling. • A MYxaYg. COUNTY COMUTSSIONER.-A few weeks ago, when " S" mentioned the name of J*con J. Lreaznaont, of Friedennville, as a proper per son for the office of County Commissioner, the proposition at once received my' approval, and I am glad to see others " second the motion." Mt. Ueberroth is just the man we want for the office, being honeet, intelligent, and energetic. Besides, ho is a young man—one of " nature's noblemen"—a high.minded honorable man, lyiepeoted for his virtues and his liberality.— Lat us not tollovriu the wake of the Democrat. is party, taking the view that the Commission et's office is of "no account," and nominate men of'no education whatever, who km* noth ing of the duties and responsibilities of,tho of fice, and who ere therefore nothing but a "dead weight." SALYBURO MESSRS. EDITORS :-I, for one, (and I think I could say the same for a large number of my neighbors,) heartily endorse the proposi tion of your correspondent " North White hall," that JACOB J. UEBERROTR, of Salmon, would make a capital County Commissioner. I hope the County Nominating Convention will give us Jacob 3. Ueberroth as a candidate for Commissioner on the Republioan ticket. Host Munson ETHERIDOIL—The Memphis Avalanche keeps the following good paragraph for a Southern paper,standing at the head of ita leading column, in large letters. It ex peets to kill the author by giving prominyt publicity to his noble and patnotio sentiments : "We understand that the Hon. Emerson Etheridge made a speech at Dresden, Tenn., during which ho read the Black Republican platform, and asked if there was any man there who could find fault with it. He furth er said' that the election of Lincoln on that platform •-ould give peace to the country, whilst Breckenridge's would dissolve the Union." Whoever knows Emerson Etheridge know;, that this is not the only noble, high-toned fild fearless expression of that noble and gene us- hearted patriot. Emerson Etheridge ii no demagogue, no °coward. When the demaplogue, Stephen Arnold Douglas, moved heav/n and earth to repeal the Missouri compromise, Em or i t eon Etheridge, of Tennessee, altho b from a slave State, stood upon the floor o ngress and boldly and fearlessly denounced he author ll and his measure, What a coat' tto men like Henry M. Fuller, Washi ton Hunt, Brooks, and others in the nor thern States, who, whilst pretending to be for Min Bell are using all their endeavors to a;ithe true Bell mon to one of the Democratic f lions, because, as they assert, the Republica's, and their plat form are too radical on the livery question. Yet suoh men like Emerson 'Etheridge, Hen ry Winter Davis, J. Morrison Harris, and other Southern mon, can see nothing in the Republican platform or parr, to wl)tch even a Southern man can objed And I might add the evidence of nearly all the Bell and Everett press of Marylandand other Southern States, that they regard abraham Linooln as a conservative, and thatthe Southern opposi tion in Maryland ic., ,could rather see Lin ooln eleoted than eithe of the Demooratio can didates. CONSERVATIVE. Dovotss Maw, tear in mind the faot that ZACHARIAH Losc/Esq., wall thrown overboard in the Carbon covnty convention because he le a Douglas Dervocra* and W. IL BUTLER a Breekinridge ,entocrat, nominated in his stead for the Legi‘lature. " Union and harmony" i is the cry &the Breekinridge nterventioniste ; but it is only " Union and harmony" whew their own selfish and disorganizing purposes are ti be subserved. Mr. Long was entitled t o ( mother term in the Legislature, and if the Deekinridge party were honestly in favor, of pion and harmony, they would have used all lonorable means to have Mr. Long renomina- Sad instead of defeating him. NON INTBRVENTION. stirWe find the following catalogue of the diseases, which have interfered with the pub lic duties of Mr. Douglas, in one of our ex changes: Where was Douglas, when the Homestead Bill passed the Senate? He had the gout. Where was Douglas, when tributes of re spect wore paid to Broderick? He had the pleurisy. Where was Douglas, when the Davis reso lutions passed the Senate? He had the dysentery. Whore was Douglas, when the bill, for the, admission of Kansas, came up in the Senate? He had the bowel complaint. STATE MASS MEETING AT LANCASTER ...4i. State Mass Meeting of the Republican party will be held 19th. Addressee will be delivered by Carl Schurz, Hannibal Hamlin, Senator Cameron, Ex-Governor Pella*, Ex-Governor Reeder, and a number of other distinguished speakers from this and other States. It is expected, that the mass meeting will be such an one, as has been seldom seen in one State. a:7qt is a singular coincidence that almost simultaneously with the passage of a tariff resolution by the Lehigh county Democratic convention, the Democrats of Carbon threw overboard Mr. Zechariah Long, the only tar. 1. et.o,7uw keogtennure. 1c must be apparent to all men that the Democrats of Lehigh are trying to obtain votes under false pretence. `The San Fransisoo Times predicts that Douglas will not get as many votes in Califor nia ae Breokinridge by five thousand, and will be behind both him and Lincoln, the latter of whom will carry the State, imloes all the signs CONGRESSIONAL NOIIINATION,--Wm.

It wasof moire, quite plain in the skirt, but with a long train, high body, buttoned in front with fine pearls ; an English' lane coller, fastened at the throat by a diamond brooch ; the bouquet of orange-blos soms fastened at the waist; the ooiffure was a diadem of white lilac and roses ; the hair fastened behind under a rich comb of die monde ; an immense veil of English. lace thrown over the head, and falling nearly to the bottom of the dress, completed this distingue toilet.— The second bridesmaid had on a dress of white silk, trimmed round the skirt with three rows of pinked silk ruching, the third row carried up to the waist. The bouquet of orange-ffoiv ers placed in the bow of the sash, which was also trimmed with ruches. A diadem wreath of white roses and. Mee of the valley, over which was thrown the large square veil of plain tulle, simply hemmed. The third brides maid, who wait young and beautiful, wore a dress at once simple and elegant. It was composed of white tarlatine, very fine and thin, covered with pinked tlounoesof the same. A high, full body, with a ruche round the throat. A wide scarf of white silk, with fring ed ends round the waist, fastened in a how at the side, in which was placed the orange-flow er bouquet. A diadem wreath of white moss rose-buds in the hair, over which .a large veil, also of tarlatine ' reaching nearly to the feet. Perhaps, says Le Follet, the beauty of the bride may have given a charm to her dress, but we must confess we have never seen one that pleased us altogether so much, not only for its simplicity, but for its real elegance. 4gir" Healing on its Wings," say all who have made use of Dr. Wietar's Balsam of Wild Cherry, and by such nee cured themselves of coughs, colds, and consuption.

This however, is accounted for because all other kinds of fruit appears to have failed. Sweet potatoes are of good size and quality, and the price must come down to a decent figure, as there is no eoaroity. Irish potatoes also turn out better than was expected. Apples are apples, and sell at winter prices at the begining of the season. What will be the price of them next January?

James Leib ert, L---- " -A LITTLE GIRL CARRIED THROUGH A CULVERT AND INTO THE BUSH KILL—During the very heavy rain on Wed nesday a week a little girl aged about eleven years, daughter of Jacob Fulmer, through some means got into a stream of water that swept through Locust Alley and its force be ing so great that she was unable to help her self, the child was carried off with the current about fifty feet and then plunged into a culvert, through which she passed a distance of one hundred and eighty feet, and from that out into the Bushkill, bringing up finally on a rook in that stream. The culvert is three by four feet in size and those who saw the child carried into it by the water thought that she would meet her death by being dashed against its sides or be drowned, but their surprise may be imagined when we state that only a few bruises on one of her lege and about her head oould be discovered when she was taken, very much frightened, from the rock in the Bush. kill.

CURE FOR IN-GROWING NAILS.—It is stated, by a correspondent, that cauterization by hot tallow is an immediate cure for in growing nails. He says : I pat a small piece of tallow in a spoon, and heated it over a lamp until it became very hot, and dropped two or three drops between nail and granulations. The effect is almost magical. ' Pain and ten derness Are at once relieved, and in a few days the gratulations all go,leaving the deceas ed parts dry, and destitute of all feeling, and the edge of the nail exposed so as to admit of being pared away without any inconvenience; I have tried the plan repeatedly since, with the most satisfactory results. The operation causes little if any pain, if the tallow is prop erly heated. TO TELL THE TIME OF NIGHT BY THE MOON.—To the hour which the moon's shad ow indicates on a sun dial add four fifths of. , the moon's ago, and the sum will be the time' sought ; or subtraot the hour shown on the di al from four-fifth of the moon's age,land the re maindpr will be the time sought. The first • mode is to be adopted if the moon's shadow falls on an hour in the foreuoon, and the latter if it falls on an hour in the afternoon. In rookoning the moon's ago, if the new moon happens in 'the forenoon, that day must be ta, ken u the first; but if itlappens after tioon 4 the following day must he count 4 as the fire).
