It will bo r'crnemboreit thai at thfe dele
gate meeting held at this place oil tho 3d of
February, Jcddiah Irish was appointed sen
atonal delegate to tho 4th of March Con
vention, under an understanding with
.Schuylkill County that Columbia iliould
have the delegate as long as. that cotlnty had
llhe Senator. But it seems the appointment
f Mr Irish'did not suit tho feelings "of the
Danvillo Juntoi he1 Was not a mart of their
Vidney, they therefore, regardless of 'the
Voice of the county) expressed through their
legates; started their old game of trickery
lot defeat the wishes of tho majority, and
disfranchise tho county. To carry out their
I
"anT
plans, tney got up a secret meeting m xonr
iiillt of some three or four individuals, and
appointed a spurious sett of confrees with

pointed unbeknouin to the friends 01 Mr.
Irish. By this means they effected their
.hir.r-.tbv annoiriiihr Nsthan Nathans, of
t,-......:m" i.i ta ..., u
. eommiileo upon contested seats at the 4th
"of March Convention
From Columbia and Schuylkill two Sen
"atonal delegates appeared, Jedediah Irish
and Nathan Nathans, and the district being
'entitled only to one each contested the seat
of tho other.
Is was perfectly clear that Mr. Irish Was
elected by a meeting ot democrats ot Oo
vlumbia : but m his election there was a
'provision that the demociata of Schuylkill
'confirming his election, not was there any
'conference between tho two counties con
'ternins him. It was alleged by him, and
is by no means improbable that Columbia
was entitled to tho delegate, and that it was
well understood and conceded, that beluiyi
kill would airree to any nomination made
hv Cjlun!)ia. But there was no proof of
'itch neui'ment. On the other hand Mr,
Nath.ma exhibited the proceedings of appa
rently regular democratic meetings in the
'i.ntintii.ii thft a t nnin I m pnt nT fipnalnrinl
runferccn from eaeh ; and the joint meeting
and action of tho confereus clocthg him the
senatorial dclosate.
The committee, therefore, decided that
Nathan Nathans, bo admitted to his seat, as
cnatonal delegate from this district
They thus succeeded iit not only again
defeating the expressed voice of the county,
but in disfranchising her of her rightful re
ipreMntation in the convention. How much
longer will the democracy of Columbia
xoMnty permit themselves to be insulted and
rabuied by theso Danville disorganizes, who
nave uniformly, when they could not con
rtrol the county conventions, raised an op
position against the regular nominations to
distract and divide the party, regardless of
v 'bo consequences, provided their own el
T fish ends could thereby bo advanced, a short
lime will determine, Insult upon insult
has so often been heaped upon them, that
wo trust that submission will no lunger
t be considered a virtue, and that they will
peak to the junto with the indignant voices
ef freemen, and teach them that others have
rights and that they know how to maintain
them. Peaceably if they cn. but forcibly
If they
w w
must.
The fact of the Dahviilo junto having by
their usual game of trickery and deception
defeated tho wishes of the Germans and
prevented them from being represented on
the bench of this bounty, hai created, as
we expected, quite a sensation among that
numerous arid worthy class of our citizens.
From the fact of their being' seginany Ger
mans in tho county, it has always been a
conceded point, that ono of the associate
judges should be a mail capable of speak
ing both languages, and it has been left for
the present Danville faction, in addition to
their numerous encroachments on the rights
of the peoplo bf the county, to now rend
asunder the last link in'the chain of for
bearance, by depriving the Gcrmon popu
lation of ait associate judge, vhbmlhey
cduld approach without being compelled
to employ an intorpsrter. But this
treatment is in entiro unison with all their
former acts and opinions.expressed by word,
as well as by acts, that, as was publicly
proclaimed by a prominent member of the
junto, " they arc all a sett of ignorant Dutch
hogs," and of course are not to bb consul
ted! jodiscos mttrriagetht.

And seems beyond correction;
But I've a spell, that very soon

Will soon expel disease end pain,
So none shall bo afflicted;
And then shall cure all ills amain,
To which men are addicted.
O would you know this scourge of ills,

Which all the world are praising,
For never did the gods piovido
A med'einc so amazing.

'With this you need not fear them;
If Gout afllict, and Colic too,
A box or too will clear them:
And if your liver's out of tune;
If wild your head is aching;
If jaundice dies you like the moon;
Or ague sets you shak ngj
If grim dyspepsia thins your chyle;
If devils blue are grinding;
If you aro plagued with gripe or bilj
Or fevers loose or binding;
O tell no doctor of y bur ills,
Nor trust to baths or lanrinr
