Vc are also loqucstcd to mention that a HICKORY POLE will bo raised at the house of WILLIAM TIN EURO OK, in Wjshingtonville, on Saturday; Sept. 12, 1810. Tho democracy of the county are invited to attend. The Election for Delegates to tho county Convention to nominate a county Ticket, is to bo held, on Saturday the 29th inst. be tween the hours of three and dix o'clock in tho afternoon. It is very important that theso delegate meetings should bo well at tended, and that good, sound men be ap pointed, as delegates to the Convention, as the present crisis demands the nomination of a county ticket that will represent tho whole interest of tho county, and not that of 3 faction who are using their utmost ex ertions to devidc and distract tho party. The approachiug election will bo one of greater interest to the people of tho county, than any that has taken place for a number of years. It will decide the question whether some two or thrse individuals in Danville shall control tho election of the county, and retain for themselves, all the important officers, or whether the people, have sufficient confidence and stability in thcmsclveVto elect their own ofiicets With- oul beinj; dictated to by tlits little faction. All tho falsehoods, and misrepresentations that can be invented with regard to tho. ob jects and motives of individuals will be cir culated to create disscr.'.ions nmo'ti; the ranks of tho great body of the people, that this little squad may take advantago of the division to continue themselves in powisr.to the destruction of the best interest of the. county. Wo flay this, because it is a well known fact, that whenever they have had tho power, it has always been used to ad vance their own interest in opposition to that of the county. As an evidence of thi3 fact. Look at their conduct within tho last two years. An attempt to add a portion of Northumberland county to this on one side while they were endeavoring to strike off a portion on the other to another county tho obtaining of 35000 from the state to re- pair their bridge, while they opposed an appropriation for a new bridge at Mifflin, giving as a reason, "that charity beganiat homo." They have also obtained a charter for a high school, with a bonus of several hundred dollars yearly, while charters ask ed for similar institutions in other portions of-thc county were opposed and defeated, or if granted tho bonus stricken out, and their baso and outrageous atlempt to fasten on tho county, a debt of some fifty thousand dollars, beside? an annual tax of some thou sands more, that they might havo their poor supportcd by the other lownships,ara among a few of tho many schemes by them agitat ed for their own particular nrrrandise- mcnt. Should they again succeed this fall, will they not use the influence thus given them to carry out their schemes of destroy ing this county to enhanco the interest of their own immediate vicinity. Who can doubt it. No one who knows them. They are-the samo now.that they ever have been. Tho "Ethopian cannot'ehango his skin, or the Leopard his 'spots." Thon let the 'friends of tho truiinlerests of the county, rally and be at theft-pests in the hour of 'danger, and all will be well. Doct. Pctrikin's course in turning out old Post'llsotcrs and in the appointment of new ones in this county contrary to the known wishes of all concerned arums lo bo so well understood that his popularity, (if ho ever had any real) appears to bo so much on tio wane, that neither his son Billy's toasts, or resolutions wiitteu by his man Friday will any longer be noticed by our public meet ings. As evidence of this, at a mcelin:,' held at Danville, on Tuesday last, a reso lution introduced Jin his favor, was refused adoption. This must bo a soto thing for the Doctor particularly at tho present time. Aron mi ricordo. " Fire, On Thursday night, tho 30th ult. a fito broke out in Wilkesbarro in tho store housfl of G. M.

PORTER, for re-election, and that we will do all in our power to contribute to his suc cess. Resolved That we will support no can didate for office who is oppose! to what wo believe to be the true principles of De mocracy. Resolved That the efforts of the oppo sition to decline tho people into the sup port of their candidate without principles, merits a signal rebuko from the people, and that wa will turn out on iho day of tho election and by- our voles testify that wo at least will not have General Muni to rule over us. Resolved That wo have no confidence in Wm. II. Harrison, the candidate of the opposition, knowing ns we do, that no is afruid to trust the peoplo with his princi pies, and that wo will do our utmost lo do feat his election. Resolved That John Tyler, of Virgir ma, tho opposition candidate lor Vice Pre sident is unworthy of tha support of any Democratic Republican, inasmuch as his votes in tho Virginia Convention proves him to be ono of the rankest aristocrats in the country. Resolved Thatjtho immense and on thusiastio Democratic Convention lately as scmblcd at Lancaster, and the harmony of it j proceedings, is n sure presage that tho Democracy of tho Keystone Stale are alive to the true inturcst of the nation, anil that fihu will do her duty at the coming Presi dential election.
