VALEDICTORY.
IN RETIRING from the establishment of the
'Star,' my thanks and kind wishes are duo to
its patrons. The humblo service which I
have here attempted to do to tho great cause
of the people has been tho sincere effort to
promote the republican causo of equal rights.
The consciousness of having served political
friends faithfully and Ircntod political oppo
nents with respec.tful courtesy will bo among
the pleasing recollections of my sojourn
here ; to follow mo, if my lot shall be cast
in other pleasant places.*
In this country the power of the press is
immense, and the influence vast which
those who conduct it exercise in fashioning
tho destiny of the republic. The press is in
this country aqd age the power behind the
throne, more potent than those who rule the
land. It becomes tho masses to match well
iiow this power is exercised, and to hold its.
ager.D to a strict accountability. The guar
dians of tire press should in these times be
the faithful watchmen upon tho towers of
freedom.
In leaving this paper I commend its grow
ing prosperi ly to the friends who have given
it a generous patronage. May the "Star" for
many years gladdqp its readers with its ja
. -diart light. B.S. GILMORE.
A CARD.
WITH tho present number, it will bo ob
served, wo become the sole proprietor And
editor of this paper. In that capacity he
shall labor, as we have heretofore done, for
the great causo of the people, with fearless
ness aud fidelity. We shall take care that
our paper shall sustain the character which
has mado it u favorite among tho true and
honest supporters of tho Democratic faith,
and won for it high commendations and a
most liberal patronage. The establishment
is in a prosperous (rendition, and our sub
scription list lias steadily and permanently i
increased sinco we commenced tho publica- ]
tion of this journal eighteen months ago.
We may fairly say that wo regularly furnish
inoro reading matter in our paper than any
other journal in the county. In this respect,
as also in the character of tho reading which
\vc furnish, wo invite comparison by those
who desire to have a county paper. To our
old patrons we will continue to furnish their
regular journal of Literature Politics and
News; and such new or.es as shall favor us,
wo will greet with a hearty welcoino.
Tho character and tone of our paper will
continue in the course which has prospered
it, and our best energies will be devoted to
make it an ngreable and instructive visitor to
the farmer, to the mechanic, and to the fam
ily circle.
We have many reasons to bo thankful to
our generous patrons thus far; and it is a
source of gratification to us to feel that so
many of those among whom we havo livod
for years, and who know us best, appreciate
and respect our labors as a journalist. Wo
hope to ever prove worthy of this generous
-confidence and friendship. We make bu'
little complaint of the mean and cowardly
slanders of envy and malice, when wo see
so many others sutler more than we.
Tno price which tho retiring partner re
ceives for his interest in this establishment
proves it to bo in a prosperous condition.
In leaving us, ho takes with him our best
wishes for his prosperity an J success through
life.
iy wo invite an attentive perusal of the
Lawrence statement on our first page of to
<<lay. It presents an instructive and interest
ing picture of high life among tho codfish
-aristocracy of this country. No doubt, if
tho parties were in humble life such con
duct as they have manifested would forfeit
for them the respect of all tbeir neighbors.
Mr. A. Boy d Hamilton retires from the
(publication of the Pennsylvanian. It will
hereafter be conducted by Mr. Forney as
lire editor and W. V. M'Keau Esq., as super
intendent of the business department, and
willcoutinue its good service to tho Demo
cratic cause. _ ,

on Thursday the 22d of Augusf, about a

THE f.ATE ADMINISTRATION.
WUEN the Whigs in 1848 voted for the
Taylor electors did they mean to sustain the
Mexican war like llevordy Johnson, or to
denounce it like Mr. Poarco from tho same
state ? Did they mean to declare thom
eolves as justifying General Taylor in carry
ing on tho war, or regret, like Corwin, that
the Mexicans had not mot our soldiers "with
bloody hands and hospitable graves'?" They
voted for Taylor and Fillmoro. Taylor was
a war man, and bio wed hot. Filmoro is tho
peace man who takes for his advisers the an
tagonists of Taylor, and blows cold. The
ticket was formed BO as to bo every thing by
turns and nothing long.
But what single measure has tho lalo Ad
ministration accomplished ? What has it
done, or what proposed to do ? Tho Cubine?
drew sovoral hundred thousand dollars from
tho national treasury, and this has been tho
acme of its statomanship. When it otnnd
into power it found every landmark, of tho
preceding Whig administration sv.ept away.
Not a vostige of the old measures remained.
The idea of a National Ba'.k had fallen into
disgrace The Bankrupt Law had in indig
nation been blotted from the national statue
book. The lurid of 1812 had become odi
ous aud been superseded by a more just and
equitable system.
The poo.plo had passod in judgment upon
the administration of misrule and branded it
as one of evil council aud evil deeds.

Christ Church Philadelphia the same year.
The Church of Jerseytown was also or
ganized in 1793, and tho first delegate to
the Episcopal convention of that year was
Mr. JOHN FUNSTON lite father ot Thomas A.
Funston of Madison township.
OF* Mr. COOK of tho Dani-illc Democrat
has received the appointment of Deputy
Marshall and is now eng ged in taking tho
census for 1850. Meanwhile JOHN CoorEß
Esq., has the editorial chargo of Mr. Cook's

this day deny the pure faith for which in the |
I most active years tf his life ho talked so el- I
oquently and loud. Alas, how are tho migh- I
ty fallen !
CONGRESS is yet debating tho everlasting
compromise bill. An effort was made a low
days ago to obtain a voto upon the bill in
(he Senate, but as Mr. Webster and Mr.
Corwin had left that body for the Cabinet,
the nul.joct wns postponed mutt the Senate i
should be full. Mr. Ewing, the new Senator
from Ohio, will voto against the bill. Mr.
Winthrop, who goes in the place of Web- j
stcr, will be in favor of its passage.
FLOOD.—MILL SWEPT AWAY. —The contin
ued heavy rain which has been falling here
during the last twenty-four hours has caused
our streams to riso higher than they were
over known to be. Tho mill of Mr. HEADLY,

boon entirely swept away. Tho Creek is

damage being done.*- Sullivan Eagle.
NATIVISM DYING.—A Native American
State Convention mot at Philadelphia, on the
27th of Juno last, at whir?; c ]cxn CQUinies

fered, "'that it is inexpedient at tho present
time to nominate Stalo officers," and was
adopted by a vote of 51 to 50. Tho conven
tion liter adjourned.
FF WILMOT, in his speech of Wednes
day, "rejoiced that ho had done something
towards tho defeat of CASS;" but he forgot to
add that he had solemnly vowed not to do
so before the election. It is pretty well un
derstood at Washington, that WILMOT does
not conceal from any body that his candi
dates in 1852 are BENTON and SEWARD.
THE SPIRIT OF GAMBLING. —A correspon
dent of tho Tribune, writing from Boston a
bout Professor Webster, shows tho* extent
of the gambling spirit in that city in tho fol
lowing sentence—"Dots run high that he will
never be hung—that ho will take his owu
life. Others arc equally as fierce in belling
that he will bo hung." Boston must bft im
proving in its moral charactur.
BETHLEHEM. —We learn from Bethlehem
that that pleasant borough is crowded with
visitors. Both the hotels are full, and many
seek quarters in private houses. No more
pleasant place than Bethlehem can bo found
for strangers wishing to spend a short time
in a cool, quiet manner. There is less fash
iou and formality, but more comfort there
than at Saratoga.

Execution of Pearson, the Murderer.
BOSTON, July 26.—Pearson, condemned
for tho murder of his wife and two children,
was executed this morning, at half-past lO'o
clock. Ho seemed penitont, and after ma
king a hill confession of his guilt, died with
out a struggle. In his speech upon tho gal
lows, he abjured those who heard him to
seek their own salvation.
Tho following was Pearson's speech upon
the gallows:
"I should liko to say a few words: bo
prepared to die, my friends, and scok salva
tion. This is tho happiest death of any, if
only prepared to die. I hopo and trust in
God, and that I am going to bo with him in
heaven. I rocommend you all to the Holy
Word of God, and pray that wo may all
meet in Heaven." The following is his
own confession : —"I wish to unburden my
toirl, aud free my conscience of whatever I
ought, with all ray heart, and undor the eye
of my Maker who will judge mo soon. I
declare as follows:
Truly of the death of my wife, Martha B.
Pearson, and of my two twin children, Sarah
and Lydia, I confess that f myself alone took
their lives, on the morning ot tho 11th of A
pril, 1849, between tlio hours of 2 and 4 o'-
clock ; this is tho time as nearly as I can
recollect, and these arc the principal circum
stances. On the—of April I drank ale to ox
coss;l went to my brother Henry's in
Brnomficld street, I took an umbrella, kissed
my daughter Melissa, told her I was going
to Providence, and parted then. I went
down Tremont street and Temple Place, to a
club house and got a pack of cards, thon
struck over to Providence depot and* loft
them.
I th ;rr left for my house where my wife
and two children were living. I went over
through tho woods and, stupified with liquor,
got lost. It was a kind I'rovidenco to hold
mo back, not knowing where I was. When
I got through 1 looked round for some time
and saw my barn. I saw a light in my
house ; I rapped at the window ; Martha
came aud said, "who's there?" "Daniel
I answered."
I went to Boylston street and obtained a !
shoe and a knife al a shoemaker's: ihen ob
tained a vial of laudanum at an apothecary's.
Then I went to Merriman street and got a
bottle of gin. I then went to the lower do
pot and left in the cars for Wilmington. I
think about six o'clock, when arriving in
Wilmington, lsked when tho cars left fot
Boston in tho morning. Somebody answer,
cd, and handed mo a Pathfinder.
Another Despatch. „
BOSTON, Mass., July 20, 1850.—About one
hundred persons witnessed the execution of
the unfortunato Pearson. A large crown was
collected on tho outside of the jail—some of
whom clambered on tho roof of the adjoin
ing houses, and disturbed tbe funeral exer
cises by their demoniacal shouts. Two
well dressed young ladies, before the prison
er left his cell, entered tho jail yard, ascen
ded tho gallows, and inspected, with looks
of great curiosity, the implement of execu
tion. Several other females wore admitted
to tho jail yard, to witness tho execution.
Upon tho scaffold Pearson read his Bible
with great apparent devqjion. When the
cap was drawn over his face, ho appeared
to be engaged in prayer. lie ascended the
slepe of tho gallows with a firm step, and us
ho walked upon the drop gave a last look at
tho sun and tho scenes around him. liis
body was taken to Wilmington, his nativo
place and the scene of the murder, for buri
al. Ho lost all hope of a roprieve after he
had heard of the result of tho case of Profes
sor Webster.
Presidents of the United States.
GEORGE WASHINGTON, first President of the
U. S., for tho first and second terms, 1789-
1797. ww Vorn in Westmoreland £ oi) Va.,
Feb. 22, 1732, and died at Mount Vornon,
Dec. 11, 1799, aged 07 years, 9 months,, 21
days. He was the son of Augustine Washing

tho Revolution, and was twice unanimously

Tho feeling iu Texas in rospeel to tho att
empt ol New Mexico to get admitted into
the Union as a State, is nothing like tho war
like breathings which como in letters to pol
iticians at Washington. The journals talk
calmly and rationally, though decidodly, a
bout tho rights of that State. There is noth
ing in their tone or expression of feeling
which preclude the idea that adjustment of
the boundary question by Commissioners
would not bo doomed a most preferable
mode of settling tho controversy. Hot
brains may fume about gunpowder and the
bayonet, but rational minds flout such non
sense, and seek proper remedies in proper
quarters ror supposed grioveuces.
Tho Supreme Court of tho third judicial
district of New York, has decided that an
action on tho case lies against a railroad
company in favor of a church corporation
for a nuisance, in running cars and engines
ringing bells, blowing off stoam and making
other noises in tho neighborhood of a church
or meeting house, on the Sabbath and du
ring public worship, which so annoy and
molest tho congregation worshiping there as
greatly to depreciate tho valuo of tho house
and render it unfit for a place of public wor
ship.

The lime fos nominating candidates to fill
tho different offices to bo elected at the next
general election, is rapidly approaching. In
fact, in some counties, they have already
been made. Tho times requiro that more
than ordinary care should bo taken by tho
people in making their nominations, especi
ally for members of assembly. The just
complaints that have been increasing, annu
ally, against the. conduct of the legislature,
and tho mal-practiees which havo become
prevalent in and arcJbnd it, imperatively de
mand that moio caro should be exercised in
tho choice of members and that none should
be elected but men of unquestionable integ
rity and firmness.
Reformation if ever effected, must com
mcnflPwilh iho people themselvos. They
aro the only truo sourco of all political pow
er, and if they would preserve their demo
cratic institutions free ,from tho blighting
curse of the aristocrat, tho demagoguo and
tho corruptionist, ihey must not neglect to
excrciso it as becomes intelligent and hon
est citizens. Owing to the division of tho
peoplo into political parties, and the adop
tion of tho system of conventional nomina
tions, the primary elections to appoint dele
gates to those conventions'have become of
moro real importance than the general olec
tioll itself. It is only at llieso elections that
the peoplo have uny chance to exercise a
free choice. If they stay away (jom . the
primary eloetions/all they can do afterwards,
when the tickets are formed, is to make
choice between what they may regard as c
vils, or decline to vole at all, and permit the
decision to be made without their agency.
Tho manner in which tho peoplo unavoid
ably divide into parties, rer.dor it indispen
sable that every man, who wishes to ox eat
cise any influence should take his position
with one or the otHer, and use his influence
within the party of his choice to correct
whatever ho may find wrong, and to advanco
whatever he may approve. As a general
rttle, ano party man , is a mere nonentity,
without infivtenco to Jo harm or good. He
may call himself an independent man, and
really fancy that he is so; but it is an inde
pendence that loaves him little powor for
good or harm in the government of his coun
try. We would, therefore, again most earn
estly urge upon our democratic friends
throughout tho state, to attend the primary
meotings and to tako an active and intelli
gent, part in t'he selection of candidates. A
gree to none but thoso who aro known to be
honest and who possess a reasonable degroe
of competency. Trust no man whoso con
duct in life 'ndicates a dereliction of princi
ple and a want of integrity, upon his prom
ises or pledges made merely to obtain a
nomination. Take mon whose life and con
duct affords the best pledge that they will
not abuse your confidence.
In reference to tho election of a United
States Senator,- which will be one of the
mo. t important questions dnrir.g tho coming
session, wo think it would bo right that eve
ry democratic candidato for tho Senate and
llouso of Representatives, should bo called
on to express his opjiiian, in Wfiling, before
the election. But even with tho strongest
pledges, men who are known to bo derelict
in principle, and who would violate their
pledge the first opportunity like Valentine
Best, ought not to be trusted.

ted and firm. Wo liko tho Williamsport
nominations very much—that of Mr. Mor
rison, for Canal Commissioner, is peculiarly
gratifying to us. His straight-forward, radi
cal democracy in the Logislatnre has gaittod
for-him public confidence in this section of
the State in an eminent degroe, and I think,
nay, I am confident, that he will poll a hea
vier vote here than any other candidate could
possibly obtain. Montgomery county is
highly honored in having the candidate ta
ken from her midst, whilst Judge Longstrelh
still holds his seat in-the Board. But the de
serves the honor for hor steadfast devotion to
principles, and the candidate she presents is
as sterling as the county he hails from."

LT Tho favorite boast of the Whigs is
now, that they are to have a thorough-bred
Whig administration. As the Bichmond
Enquirer forcibly remarks: —"We woro told
that by tho election of TAYLOR and FILL
MORE, we should put down piarties, and
should elect a 'President of the people,' and
not of party. The Whigs r.ow jump Jim
Crow, and boast they have a full-blooded
partisan PrattiUaiii, who goau £or 'matflig lII© i

of 1848, has not only resulted in a strictly I

surface of tho immense universe—not a scc
aud in time coinparod to immeasurable, nev
er-boginning and never-ending eternity—a
drop of water in tho great deep, evaporates
and is borno off by tho winds —a grain of
sand, which is soon gathered to the dust
from whence it sprung Shall a being so
small, so petty, so fleoting, so evanescent,
oppose itsolfto the otnvard march of a groat
nation, to subsist for ages and ages to come
to opposo itself to that long lino of posterity
which, issuing from our loins, will enduro
during the existenco of the world. Forbid
it God! Let us look at ourscouutry and our
course—elevate oursolves to tho dignity of

| WASHINGTON, July 29, 1850.—Tho Brad
; bury amendment was merely lost by acci
i dent, Mr. Douglass being momentari y ab-
I s °nt. A similar amendment willoarry. Mr.
] Wintbrog will take a statesmanlike view lor
I ,h bill "><Vyote for it. Tho nation wil
?owo him a llobt of gratitudo. Mr. Berrien
is known to be in favor of it, having first en
deavored to protect it. Prcsidont Fillmore
is clearly, and docidedly in fa
vor of thq bill. Judge Sharkey, of Mississ
ippi, Prcsidont of tho late Nasnvillo Conven
tion, is here, warmly approving tho bill, and
denouncing Rhett's treasonable disunion
speech. Tho prospects of tho passage of
the bill are decidedly good. A statement j
contained in some of the Northern papers,
that Gen. Foote is shirking every direct res
ponsibility in regard to th bill, is entirely
false. No Senator labors more assiduously,
openly, energetically and successfully for the
bill thin ho noes; not one !
WASIIINOTON, July 30.—Tho Hon. Edward
Batos has arrived, and, it is said, that ho
takes the Interior Department.
The frier.ds of tho Compromise are in
good spirits to day.
Judge Sharkey is spoken of for tho War
Department.
CURE FOR BAD FITS —Not by any pa
tent medicine, but by a good suit— not such
a suit as a man can get into at court, but such
a neat, well-made and fashionablo suit of
clothing as every body should woar; just
such as you can find at A. H. Ellis', if you
will call and cxamino his stock of coats,
pants, vests, and other articles of dress at the
lower door of tho new Exchange Block noar
ly opposite the Court-House, in Bloomsburg
His stock of ready-rnado clothing is not the
"slop-work" made up for sixteen cents a day,
but is made up to wear
and not only to soli. " "
Mr. Ellis has also on hand an assormcntof
cloth, cassimores, trim
mings ; so that he is prepared to make up
clothing to order at tho shortest notice. He
will pay particular attention to cutting out.

PARAGE A.
The nfilictcd nro invited to c ull and see Mi.
Isaac Brooks, Jr., ntthe corner of Third end
Wilcox streets, and Miss Cliiistiana Sands,
Beach street below Spruce street, on thcSchuyl
kill. These two persons have been snatched
from tho very jaws of the destroyer, through 'ho
agon cy of that most potent of all medicines
DR. CULLEN'B INDIAN VEGETABLE
PANACEA.
Dr (Julian's Panacea is tho only cartiin cure
foi Scrofula or King's Evil, Tott cr. Erysipelas.
Old Sores and Ulcers, Mercurial Bis nice, and ull
other allcslions, cutaneous or other wise, arising
from impurities of the blood.
In the extraordinary euro of Mr. Urooka, pen
plo who visit him, hold up their hands in as
touishmont, that ANY medicine could have ar
rested uis disease—then go away resolved to re
commend Dr Cu Hen's Indian Vegetable Pana
cea to every one they hear of who has need of a
purifying medicine.
So Willi Christiana Sands—hor euro of Scrof
ulous soio throat was quite os extraordinary as
Mr. Urooka', when wo reflect that from tho dis
ease her tea or cofi'ee would frequently pass out
of her ears, when attempting to drink, [Sea
her certificate.]
The pcoplo aio beginning to understand, too,
that the various Syrups of Sartaparilla are lilllo •
better than molasses, and that it ia madness to
throw away money on articles which, under tho
most favorable circumstancca, do not produce
any impression on tho system until Bevoral gal
lons havo been swallowed. Ono bottle of Dr.
(Jullcn's Pauucca seldom fails to produce con
viction in tho minds of paiionts thai a radical
euro is certain.
Thus hopo, [;o necessary, an ally to medi
cine.] springs up at tho oetset, and tho patient
is cured before any other preparation could have
mada tho slightest impression upon the disease !
In fact, tho twolvo ounce bottles of Di. Cul
len's Panacea, compared wi.li tho pint and quart
hollies of other purifiers, are valuable about in
tho proportion of gold to copper. Thoso who
woulo prefer o peony to a half eaglo, on account
of its size, would make a poor selection to say
tho least. - ,j
Sarsaparilla a good purifier! Dr. Uuilen's
Panacea coutaiiisils oxtract in its most conccq
tratcd form. Added to this are othor pxtracts, *
Oioro active and poweiful, and which effect iii
combination with tho Satianaiijjg, weliat tho lat
ter article, or coral>ii.Fwrfltflte mQft'powyJiil
poisons, cannot alone accomplish.
It hue curod whoromyuyjiing else
, "antUhisin a muliiMtft of cases—not in Europe
or in the so many groat cujw
have been performed,) but in Philadelphia *nd
other palls of tho union. And be it distinctly
understood that wo do not obtainftur extracts by
"holing 400 gallons down to one," it being
known to ovciy druggist's upprcnlice that boiling
destroys the essential viiluea of medicinal plants
and roots.
