The proceedings of tho Delegate Con vention in another colu-nn wilt show that tho Democrats of Columbia county have nominated a ticket, and we can asstiro our friends that it is n strong one. Mr. Head lt;y is a lawyer by profession, but ha long since discontinued practice, and paid atten tion to the manufacture of iron, in- Conner lion with his mercantile husfues's'. Wo will give him a Imlping hand in Schuylkill, and wo know ho will provo both an r.Hs and cllicicnt representative in the Senate. Our old friend Snyder, will this time have his wishes gratiliedj and no bettor choice could havo bten made than Fkuit for Sher itY and Rupert for Treasurer. It a a good ticket a sjrong ticket and wo feel satis fied it will receive the unanimous support ef tho now harmonized party of the "Star of the North." Poltsville Emporium. The "Star of the North." In rongrat ulatiug the sterling Democracy of Cwlumbia county, upon ihtfir judicious seleetior. of Maj. IIeadlky as the candidate for Senatoi we bnt reitcraie the spontaneous feelings of his numerous friends throughout tho stale. Mr. Ilcadlcy is known as the inflexible de mocrat: the unyielding advocate of tho peo ple's rights as guaranteed by tho constitu tion and as tho ardent and uncompromising disciple of tho immortal Jefferson. An ac complished ocholar and a ready and elo quent debater, his election will secure an a blo and desirable acquisition to the r.oblo band of democrats in tho Senate, to whom tho people may confidently look as the guar dians of the sacred palladium of their-liberties, the constitution. From the high character of the confeicos appointed in Columbia and Schuylkill, we have no doubt but that Mr. Ilcidluy's nomi nation will bo unhesitatingly confirmed.and his election ensured by an overwhelming majority. The nomination of Col. SnYDnn for tlie Assembly, is also a judicious nomina tion, and will ro doubt prove popular. Magician. The Census. The taking of the census will develnpo many curious facts. In Queens County, the Marshal discoveted a perfect Albino. Itwnsau active child of three years old, whoso parents wtro ne groes. The child was perfectly white, had tho pink shade bltio eyes of this class of beings, with hair white and crisped like wool. In a single ward in the city of New York the returns of the present census comprise no less than 901 vvhito persons, over 20 years cf ae, who can neither read nor write. Robert McConoly of Huntingdon county ha3 been convicted of tho murder of his mother-in-law, Kosanna Brown, his sister-i in-law, Elizabeth Brown and his Wollieis-in-law, John Brown, George Brown, David Brown, and Jacob Browiand sentenced to be hung. GOV. LINCOLN'S SPEECH. In adverting to this speech, the editor of tho National Gazette, a leading Philadelphia Whig paper judiciously remarks: " Mr. Lincoln's speech animadverting on Mr. Oglo is very Revere. IT IS A SAT ISFACTORY VINDICATION OF THE PRESIDENT FROM ANY BLAME THAT MAY HE ATTACHED TO HIM FOR PEnH0N.1L EXTRAVA GANCE." THE PRESIDENT'S HOUSE. From Mr. Lincoln's speech it will bo teen that tho following are the appropria tions, made by Congress to tho President's House successively, since tho erection of that mansion : John Adams' Administratian Thomas Jefferson's " $14,000 20.000 J.imea Madison's James Alonroo'a Jolin Q.
