.'COLUMBIA. COUNTY.
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 :
