JOSEPH CRAIG SHERIFF. CORONER. AWJMtEW IKEIiEK.- The abovo is the Ticket placed in nomi nation at. the Democratic Convention held in Bloomaburg, on Monday the 31st of Au gust. There were several candidates before the Convention for nomination for almost evciy office, and it cannot of course, be ex pected that every one would be as well sat isfied, as if their own friends had succeeded. But as the object of a county Convention is- to harmonize the action of our party, by procuring an expression in favor of one Ticket, wo are in duty bound to sustain tho voice of tho majority when fairly spoken, however strong our piivate feelings may have been in favor of any of the defeated candidates', before nomination. No man who. is not willing to submit to the decision of a Convention, should suffer his name to bo brought before it. When he lias done so, and a majority of that Convention de cide fairly against him, and le should run against the Ticket, he should receive no countenance from the friends of regular nominations. If nominations are not to be adhered to, there can be no use in holding Conventions. They are worse than use less. That these Conventions have been conducted unfairly, in some instances, is true, but when no unfairness is shown, let us abide the issue, or do away with them altogether. Ours has been held, a Ticket Ins been formed, composed of good and true men. They are favorably located all portions of the county having a due share and we can see no rcasen why a union an entire u nion should not be had upon it. Then let us rally around with all our forces, and give it a long pull, a strong pull, and a pull all together, and the day is bur own. Even the fair 6ex in the groat West are to a man-in favor of "Old Tip. Baltimore Pat. That's an unfair statement. We'll stake our hopes of matrimony, that both Mrs. Sippi and Miss Souri will be found by tho side of Mr. Van Buren. Hard Tittvr. The Salem Gazette state! that six dozen ef peaches, raised in a green house in that city, have been sold in Boston maiket for four dollars tloz- Ba reference Is the proceedings of out county convention, it will be seen that a resolution passed in favor of Doct. Petri kin. It was however, introduced and pas sed, under circumstances any thing but creditable to him and the movers. Near the close of the convention, after several had left the room, the resolution was brought forward as we believe, by previous conceit, and its passage urged by appealing to the sympathies of the members, on account of his feeble state of health. With this ap peal, in connexion with the fact that all his friends had remained, they succeeded in forcing it through, but not by a majority of the whole convention. If a resolution, passed, under these circnmslances, Will bo received by him as a healing balsam to his wounded pride and a ptop to his " falling fortunes" he must be thankful for small fa vors indeed. ELECTIONS. The whigs, for several months past, with their usual regard to truth, have been giving us accounts of " great changes in the west," in favor of the Log Cabin candidate, uud as the news of the Ialo elections in that quar ter came in from the cities, pual on peal rang in our ears of tho overwhelming suc cess of the Harrison ticket, but as soon as the returns from the farmers and mechanics of the interior were receiv ed, their tuno was changed, they became chop-fallen, and with faces longer than their arms, exclaimed " curse the farmers, median ics and laborers, wc cannot gull them, no how we can fix it." Their log cabins, hard cider and koon skins cannot change the stern resolve of the people to continuo n democratic administration which has con ferred so many blessings upon them, from the days of Jefferson to those of Van Bu ren: The tvhigs may control the cities with their banks and corporations, but the farmers arc democratic by nature, and can not bo controlled by whig lordlings or their petty pipers. Tho Stale elections of Kentucky, Indi ana, Illinois, Missouri and Alabama, were held in August and we have at length re ceived official returns, from which we gather the following result. Kentucky and Indiana have gone for the whigs as they have done for several years past. ILLINOIS. From which we had such glowing ac counts of overwhelming changes in favor of Harrison and Log Cabins, has given an increase popular vote in favor of democra cy, and elected a large majority of demo cratic members in both branches of the stale Legislature. MISSOURI, Too, has done her share towards destroy ing the fond hopes of the whigs that they would carry that democratic.state, raised by the city of St. Louis. In this sale the de mocratic candidate for Governor and Con gressman arc elected by the unparellcled majority of 7,500, and a majority in the Legislature on joint ballot of 1G. So much for whig boasting in Missouri. ALABAMA Next comes rolling the Democratic Ball, with good effect giving a Van Buren ma jority of about G000, and an increase of more than 2000 over the last Presidential election, and elected a democratic majority in both branches of her state Legislature. A, few more such whig changes would not leave Harrison a single vote in the U-nion. The success of Van Buren is now ren dered as certain, is that the sun will con tinue to shine in the heavens until the 2d of December next, the boasting and bragging of the whigs to the contrary notwithstand ing. They know how to boast before elec tion day comes, but seldom hit any nearer tho mark than was done in the following extract published before the last Presiden tial election : WHIG BOASTINGS IN 1830. - To show the reader that the opposition felt quite as confident of success at the last Presidential election as they now do, and baggsd full as loudly, we quote the follow ing article from the Albany Whi of Octo ber 10, 1836. "The f fay it will he Done. Mr. Van Buren will be defeated, and he knows it. The following is a calculation which may bo depended upen, being made on the best information by a politician who was recent ly a Jackson man, and has long observed tho sign of the times..

Jaokson, Isaac Kline, If there remained one 6park of honest pnde, or tho least desire to receive an ex pression of confidence from the democratic parly.in the breast of ValontineBest.ho must have been extremely mortified, on Monday hist, at the results of the different ballotting for Senator, After having used his every exertion for weeks to procure delegates in his favor, and then to ieceive but G voles out 4.0, (his own township voting against him,) must have been any thing but gratify, ing to his feelings. It was as severe a re buke as a man could well receive at tho hands of the domoeracy of the county whose confidence he has so often abused and in sulted. It will learn him that the slander er and villifier will not be countenanced by the honest yeomanry, anl that if he ever expects hereafter to receive favor from de mocrats, ho must seek some other channel than the one which takes from them, that which they hold dearer than life their character. Wo cannot in our hearts rejoice over his unfortunato condition, as we do not wish to " crush" a fallen foe, we ould much lather extend to h'm the hand of pi ty, with the hope that having seen, the er ror of his wajv he may become a reformed man, and remember " that the way of tho transgressor is hard."
