THE DELEGATE CONVENTION
Met in this place on Monday last, and
the Bank Junto succeede'd through trickery,
"bribery nncHreachery, in nominating Wil
liam Colt, over the Democratic Anti-Bank
candidate, Daniel Snyder, by two votes.
Upon the assembling of the delegates in the
-morning it was ascertained, that a majority
of them were either instructed for, or were
elected expressly lo sustain, Daniel Snyder.
Such being the fact, the Banlt Junto became
satisfied that they could not procure the
nomination of their man by fair means.ihey,
therefore, resorted to all-the measures in
their power to effect their orijccl. Tricke
ry, bribery and treachery, were set 'on f00t
weapons that always liavc been, and aV
ways will bo used by Bank Stockholders
and Bank advocates to sustain their friends
and their darling scheme of self aggrandise
mcnt, at the expense of the many through
tho tfgeney of Bank Charters and Stock
.Jobbing corporations. A capital was made
out of the Berwick Letting and the various
dflkers to bo appointed, and elected in tho
'county, to induce delegates to betray tho
trust reposed in Ihcm by their constituents.
Contracts and oflices were promised with
out number. Bargain and sulc was the or
der of tho day. By this means Iraitors were
bought into their ranks tho expressed will
of tho people defeated, and a man nomi
nated who betrayed his trust by sustaining
corporations- An act which tho very men
who sustained him, denounced by resolu
tions introduced into the convention, by
themselves. Such base and treacherous
conduct may answer for a while, but tho
democracy of Columbia county aro too in
telligent to be always deceived by these
(specious pretences of honesty, or to allow
.their expressed will to ho 'defeated by their
.agents, for their own advancement, with im
punity. The day will soon come when
they will measuro out to their unfaithful a
gents that measure which they so justly
merit.
We were much pleased to havo our
-cotirso with regard to the next candidate for
the Vice Presidency, ratified by tho Dele
gale Convention, in opposition to late at
iempts of tho Danville Bank Junto lo bring
forward some other candidate instead of tho
present worthy occupant of that office, R.
iJ, Johnson, He is undoubtedly the choice
flf tho democracy of Pennsylvania, and we
feel assured they will r.ot allow him to he
cast o(l to advance the interest of a few po
litical gamblers.

Mr. Jacob Kline, of Fishing Creek, while

THE POOR HOUSE.
The people of Columbia county will be
called Upon at tho October election to vote
for or against the erection, of a COUNTY
POOR HOUSE. The voto then given
will decide whether the people tiro to have
an immense debt fastened unon them for
the putchaso of propeity and tho crcctiui! of
buildings, in addition to nn annual tax of
sover.il thousand dollars for tho yeaily ex
penses of the institution. Let every man
ponder well upon it before ho casts his vole
in favor of accepting this law introduced in
to tho Legislature at the instigation of a few
men in Danville, by Mr. Colt, for tho ex
press purpose of throwing the expense of
tho poor of the towif hip of Mahoning on to
tho county generally.
A good way to gain and retain friends.
Denounce your late associates as unprin
cipled and sellish in alt their acts charge
them with treachously betraying tho confi
dence reposed in them swear eternal ven
geanco on their heads and when you hate
succeeded in ingratiating yourself into the
confidence of their opponents obtained
their secrets, and gained the end for which
you aimed, turn traitors to them and basely
betray the confidence confided in you in con
sequence of pMges given bolh direct and
implied. Perform this opporation a few
limes, and no man will have any hesitancy
as lo your worthiness or in regard to your
professions; of friendship thereafter. Try it
ones more when you get an opportunity,
and no doitbt you will succeed again.

Jltsoloed That we are confident a largo

has been charged -.villi the murder of Zel-lcrbach,-
tho Gciman 'Pedlar, was tried at
Lancaster, Pa. and has been found guilty of
murder ol the first degree.
Tho Lancaster Intelligence says : The
chain of circumstancial evidence in this case
is one of tho most complete that have ever
been Discovered. The result proves, that
the fiendish and almost unparalleled muider
winch so generally agitated tho communilv
last winter, was committed by Koblcr. The
circumstances of the case are necessarily
unusually interesting."
The sentence has been postponed in con
sequence of exceptions having been taken

Lot nnno condemn them until they havo tried
them, and than wo ore certain they will not.
It is now a settled point with all who havo used
tho 1 cgctablc Persian Pills that they are pre-eminently
tho best and most efficacious Family Modi
cine that has yet been used in America. If every
lamily could become acquainted with their Sover
eign power over discass, they would keep them and
be prepared with a sure remedy to apply on the firU
appcaranco of disease, aud then how much distreAj
would be avoided and money saved, as well ns tho
uvea of thousand who are hurried out of time by
neglecting disease in its first stages, or by not bcinc
111 possession of a remedy which they can rilaco de
pendence upon. . . '
The Resurrection, or Persian Pills.
Tho name of these pills orginaled from tho cir
cumstance of the medicine being found only in thn
cemctarics of Persia. This vegetable production
being of a peculiar hind, led lo experiments as ta
ita medicinal ijualities and virtues. In half a cen
tury it became an established medicine for the dis
eases of that country. Tho extract of this singu
lar production was introduced into some parts of Eu
rope in the year 1783, und used by many celebrated
I hybicians in curing certain diseases, where all oth
er medicine has been used in vain. Early in tho
year 1792, the extract was combined with a certain
vegetable medicine imported from Dura Baca, in
the East Indies, and formed into Pills. The admir
ab.e effect of this compound upon tho human nys
tcm, led physiicans and families into its general
use. Their long c&tablishcd character their univer
sal and healing virtues, tho detergent und cleansing
ijuahties of their specific action upon the glandular
part of tho system, arc such as will sustain their re
putation and general use in tho American Repub
lic. 1
CERTIFICATES.
I certify that I have, by way ol experiment, used
the Hygcan, and most of tho parious kinds ol Pills,
in my practice, which havo borne the highest rr-putn
in the public estimation, that have been offered for
sale m this vicinity for the last fivoyeats, including
those called tho PiCsurrcction or Persain Pills: and
the public may rest assured that none anm-.-g tho
w.iole catalogue has answered a belter purpose, as
an easy and effectual remedy, than the Resurrection
or Persian Pills, in most cases of disease.

TO MOTHERS.
Messrs. E. Chase & Co. Gcnls. Hearing
much said about the extraordinary effects of tho
Resurrection or i'ersian 'ills, upon tlioio about to
become mothers, wo were induced to make a trial of
them. My wife was at that time tho mother of livu
children, and had suffeied the most tedious and ex
cruciating pains during and after her confinement
of each. She had trjed every means and taken
much medicine, but found little or no relief. She
commenced taking the Persian 'ills about three
months before her confinement (her health being ve
ry poor about this length of time previous) and in u
short time she was enabled by their use to attend tri
the cares of n mother to hor family until her con
finement. At tlnf'timo she commenced taking tho
Persian Pills, ohd fur several weeks pi evioua, sho
was afflicted wfth a diy hard cough, and frequent
seveio cramp, which tho uso of the Pilla entirely
removed Jcfbrc using half a box. It is with tho
greatest confidence that wo advise all those about to
becomc-'mothfrs to make uso of tho Persian Pills.
AH those that have taken them in our ncighboi
hood have got along in the tame easy manner, and
are about the house in a few days. There does not
appear to bo half the danger of other dangers setting
in after confinement, where theso Pills ate taken.
We unitedly say.lct nono neglect taking thorn, for
they aro in the reach of the poor as well a3 the rich.
Wc are truly thankful that there is a remedy whicli
females can easily procure whichtends to leumn thu
world of suffering, which many of them havo lo bear,
and perhaps save the lives of thousands which would
otherwise bo lot.
