Felty Beat's paper of last week hoiata un. der the head of Montour county, anti-repeal and Democratic ticket, the namea of HENRY M FULLER for Congress VALENTINE BEST for Senator CHARLES B. BOWMAN for Assembly. This then is a confession that Mr. Bow man is opposed to repeal, We hare before alluded to the coalition between Beat and Fuller, and the lace of Beat's last paper fully proves onr charges. We hare teen the bar gain maturing tor some time. Best has -travelled up the river and Bowman down; and v irious consultations and conferences have been slyly held ky the faithful. As a ~ connecting link in the bargain, a meeting was held last week in Briarcreek township by some of Best's datpiert, which resolved to support Charles B. Bowman for Assembly, and Joseph Gensel Esq., of Briarcreek fax Coramisetoner. Every body can see that this bringing out of volunteers is intended to make a new stab at therepeal ticket. Genael is brought out to make strength for Bowman; and by attempting to defeat Staley is to wea ken the lepeal force. Bnt it wont do gentle . men. The repeal lotce is not be distracted or divided by Felly's volunteers. They can do no mischief where the game is under stood. The few Demociats of Briarcreek who are supporting Bowman; need not pre ; tend to strain at a Whig Commissioner when ; they can swallow Fuller and Best. Ws cannot see why the congressional - question should be dragged into the repeal is sue, for the former is purely a political issue, and has DO natural connection with repeal. But Best bns seized npon the Congressional nomination, as he has upon every thing else , that can give him capital. He uses every - man .who can subserve the bate purposes of v.the reckless traitor. Forthiaend is Bowman a "Whig volunteer and Genael a Democratic volunteer. For this aim does Felty sport Fuller's name .under the bead of "Demo cratic ticket." And now, to shew that the coalition does not only appear from Felty's own paper, the Berwick Telegraph, which professes to be a Democratic paper, while it has become the mere echo of Felly's own, refuses to raise the name of Wright for Congress, (just as Felty does) and puts at the head of the tick et the following, "FOR CONGRESS HENRY M. FULLER. FOR SENATOR VALENTINE BEST. And further down under the head of "Inde pendent Ticket," FOR ASSEMBLY CHARLES B. BOWMAN of Borwick. FOR PROSECUTING ATTORNEV ELISHA C THOMSON of Bloomsburg.

"uT *' ' • p - The poor House Question. m ' LET die voters remember that in 1839 them was an application for a POOR HOUSE to b# built at Danville. A vote was taken on the question and the result was as fol lows: Townships. Pbr.

This shows that the agricultural portions of the county then understood the question and voted it down. If Montour county wes once fully ereoted, another application would at once be made and the paupers of manu facturing establishments of Danville would be kept in the public poor-house at the ex pense of the whole county. The poor-tax of Danville now amounts to some 83,000 a year, and this th a farmers of Montour would be compelled to pay Let them think of this when they come to vote, and LET THEM BE WARNED IN TIME. When Danville once oonlrols Montour county it will be too late to offer resistance to the plot. It will be seen by the above table that more than half the votes which the poor house project received came from the two townships which included Danville and laid nearest to the town. This fact alone should warn every tax-payer 01 the lower end, ar.d ensure the success of THE REPEAL CAUSE AGAINST HIGH TAXATION. The Treasury Qiestiei. FELTY BEST and his Berwick echo {charge a peculation of county fttnds, but without being able to point to a single item where the county has suffered in its account. The reply to all this slang is short. The Com missioners of the county are the sworn guar dians of the public accounts, and a bold general charge of fraud in these accounts, ia a wholesale charge oT perjury laid to toe Coutrty CommiMionem. Now one of the Commissioners always has been a resident of the lower end, and they have thus had a man who could hare detected any unfair ness. Even at this time, the President of the Boatd is a resident of Anthony township) and was this fait a candidate for Sheriff in Montour county. If improper bills had been presented and passed by the board, Mr. Lake could have noticed them, and we believe Best has never attempted to impeach the honesty of Mr. Lake. Again, one or two of the Auditors have always been from the lower end, and which of them has ever discovered an improper charge, in the annual supervision of the public accounts. For several years Mr. M' Cormick was in the board of Auditors, and he never found any bills unreasonably high. Last year Mr. Davis of Limestone, who is to be the Protbonotary of Montour connty, was { one of the Auditors ; and he, under oath, reported the annual statement of the county finances as fair and oorrect. Would he have done so if there had been any fraud ? But Felty cannot understand bow it is that every man should not be . as great a scoundrel as himself and hence his sweep ing denunciations of every man too honest to become his tool. Having himself fat tened from the public fund of the county and state, he only laments now that he has yet no publio treasury at Danville to plunder. His term of office as Senator ia over, and he can no longer vole himself an additional dollar per day aa Speaker. After being for years an inaaliablwleech npon the county treasury, he had gorged himself with plun der to the fill, and then fell off to find a new subject in the slate treasury. As that chance came to an end, be grew hungry a gain, and determined 10 have a county tree snry of hia own, where tie contit InfluehCe all the Commissioners and all the Auditors. Snch does be propose to find Montour coun ty, and henoe be stands greedily licking hia dry jaws to find the "good time coming" whioh shall enrich him again. It is for this that be so desperately clings to Montour oounty, when he knows that be can never lnore get an office in old Columbia as it was before bis treachery dismembered it. Beet does not tell the people that in 1839 he and his co-plunderer* secured the pas , sage of a law leaving it to the people of the . oounty to decide whether there tbould no' | be a poor-house ereoted at Danville, at the , expense of ths county. He does not tell . how in 1836 and 1837 he tried to get new 1 public buildings erected at Danville at the r public expense. These reminiscences are 1 unpleasant to him and be would have them r forgotten. But the people temember them. 1 NATURAL. —The Pittston RAtg- paper puf ,fing Felly Best.

FELTY'S KEF9KMATNK FME -BIADOWED. Felty Beat last week attempted to abuse ■ Col. Wright the Democratic candidate for 1 Congress, charging offences of years ago. ' And yet in 1848 Felty knew nothing against - the character of Col. Wright. He had then no word to whisper against Wright's reputa tion, and it is only now, sinoe Felty is him. self a candidate, that he has found an in* . ducement to slander Col. Wright for being too much a man to enter into any bargain with so degraded a political hack as the in famous Senator of Pledges. Every reflec ting voter will at once say, if Best knew aught against the character of Wright in 18* 48, he should have made Ms eharges then, and not have left them grow so flat and stale that he can find no living witness of their truth, but must invoke the spirits of the dead to bear him testimony. When reckless outcast, who has prostituted til semblance of virtue, trumps up a state charge, the dis criminating public know enough to treat the accusation with pro pet contempt But perhaps Felty hae had a spiritual rev elation lately which has taught him to regard as ainful what he in 1848 waa willing to consider all fair. Perhaps something like the Rochester knocking* has been pounding away at Felty's conscience, to awaken a spark of sensibility, and that he is only now raving in the horrid dreams of his morbid and feverish mind. What ! does he who voted for himself as Speaker of the Senate, thus pocketing an additional dollar of ihe people's money ev ftry day of the session, have the brazen as susanoe to charge other men with pecula tion I Is Best too among die accusers ? Was 11 MMM TOT mm; 1 ALTERTAIWIYWIFTFIRT PREX# ises—betraying his constituents-denying his political faith—making merchandize of his votes as a sworn officer—selling his political friends—and betraying the political cause of tbe people : was it reserved for this man to turn state's evidence, and trumpet forth the chargesjwhich have been repeatedly refu ted? A WOAD POLITICALLY. Although the repeal question is at this time of higher moment than political con siderations, yet there are officers to be voted for on next Tuesday whose position has no natural or necessary connection with the re peal issue. Upon such, generally, political distiotinctions will be properly observed, un less to soma slight degree, where the min -1 ions of Felty Best are making a desperate ■tab at a portion of the Democratio ticket, because those upon it will not come to terms 1 with the treacherous ex-Senator. Speaking apart from our own connection 1 with the ticket, llie Democrats have nomi nees worthy of generous support and ener getic labors to secure their election. The ticket is filled with the names of good men and true, and now let the watohword be "the ticket, tbe whole ticket and nothing 1 but the ticket." Let no man sell a single vole, but be it for each to remember that the right of suffrage ia the glorious of freemen, and is that alone which distinguish es a free American from the vassal of some crowned robber. He who sells one vote for another is the same aa he who sells hia vote for money or a glass of grog, and la not fit to exercise the elective franchise of a repub lican citizen. Let no man tempt you to a bate bargain or sale of your vote; for such tricks are a lone the contrivance of desperate ard reck less political gamblers. Great Fire in C arbondale, Pa.—'Over 40 butV ttigi Burned. HONESDAL-, Sept. 30.—At 15 minutes past II o'clock on Saturday night, a fire was dis covered in the real of S. W. Thomas's bam, at Carbon dale. It communicated immedi ately to the adjoining buildings, and before 6 o'clock on Sunday morning two-thirds of the town, (between 40 and 50 buildings,) were in arhes. It is supposed to have been the work of an inoendiaiy. The amount of loss and damage cannot yet be estimated. Ai: of the best and busineae portion of tbe 1 town was burnt, including three Jiotels, the 1 Temperance Hall, and the Post Offioe. The tetters, papers, and documents of the Post Office were saved, by great exertion Hund reds, and perhaps thousands of dollars worth of goods, were stolen and carried off • by miners who work in ths oosl mine* of the place. The fire waa diatmcliy seen here, being a distance of 16 miles, and a luge mountain between us. The several church ' es wefC saved. SECCXRI'-WSPATCW. CABBONDALX, Sept.

We have Mid that in 183# the people of Deuvilie made Replication for NEW FIRE PROOF BUILDII OS it that town, and wonld have masqeded, t the removal question had not then been in To prove the foots for ihßpeopW we give the following extracts from the records: Prom tlf repert qf the Grand Jury at No vember tcjhtns 1836. "It bafbeeh suggested to the Grand In ' quest that inasmeoh as. there his reoently ' been sofoe destructive fires in the Borough, A FIRHPROOF DETOSITORY would ,um necessary and highly expedient to the preser vation of the public record and papers, the Giaqd Jury would feel themselves amiss in ■ theis-duty did they not RECOMMEND such 1 a pUp of safety to be constructed ; they 1 therefore are of the opinion and DO HIGH ' LY fiECOMMEND the construction of the same." ' The Grand Jury at January Sessions 1837 dir sedfod from the above report and prates | ted against the erection of fire proofs, as they said, "the county seat was not perma nently fixed and frw county was involved in debt" Ffcwi Ike rspHfef the Grand Jury at April Sessions 1837. I' "The Grand Itquest farther beg leave to | report that havitb before them a former re port of the Grabl Inquest reoemmending the immediate emotion of fire-proof build ings fot the accommodation and security of county oflfoers, Lid tee t s therefore reonmenJ | the speedy erectioijef FIRE PROOF OFFICES for the accommodation of the County Com missioners, Pr otto notary, Register and Re colder, M that thp publio archive! may be entirely secured ran conflagration or dam age." ! The Grand Jnij- at August Sessions 1837 dissented from this recommendation and "PROTESTED against the erection of the fire-proof buildings under then existing cir , oumstancea" evidently referring to the cir cumstances ailodqh m by the Grand Jury of January Sessions. And so it appears that the county was in debt even in 1836 end 1887 ; so much, in fact, that the Grand Jury gave this as a rea son why new Ire proof buildings should not be erected. One would think from Felty Best's barking that the oounty never was in debt when the county seat was at Danville, Bet the records prove that it was more in debt then, than it is now. Felty complains too because ft re-proof buddings were put up at Bloomsburg, while the records prove that ho and his satteliles meant to have put up JUST SUCH BUILD INGS at Danville, and .altogether at tho cost of the county.

JLu. , KEEP IT BEFORE THE PEOPLE That the people of Danville applied for new public buildings in 1836 and 1837, and that they would sobn have new and costly public buildings erected at the oost of Mon tour county, if their county was once fairly established. Keep It befbre the People That the people of Danville in 1839 ap plied for a public poor-house to be built at Danville, and that if their eounty should now be fairly established, they would erect such a poor house at the public expense. Keep It befbre the People . That the oost of erecting such new Court house, Jail and Poor House would be some FIFTY THOUSAND DOLLARS, which the tax payers of Montour would be compelled to pay. Keep it befbre the People That the division of Columbia oounty has not been asked for by any other persons thin a few speculators who expect to make money out of the erection of new publio buildings at Danville, and a few dis* appointed office hunters who could no lon ger get office from (he people oLYolumbiq oounty. . v __ Keep it befbre the People That JOHN M'REYNOLDS is the Repeal Candidate, nominated on the repeal issue alone ; and that Charles B. Bowman is Felty Best's candidate of the pledge clique, whose main principle is to make pledges before the election and to deceive people afterward. Keep It before the People That John M'Reynolds will repreeent the people fairly on the Repeal question; and that Charles B. Bowmen, if he could be e lected, would only repreeent Felty Best. THE FLEDGE PARTY. The people of Columbia county can nev er forget Felty Best's celebrated pledge. We thought that for about a half century at least, pledges would be unheard of in Col umbia county, but the race of deoeiven, it seems are not extinct with Felly's downfall. Mr. Bowman, the anti-repeal candidate for member, je following in the footsteps of his illustrious predecessoi, and has issued his pledge. He is careful not to mention repeal, and yet repeal u the issue. We give the twin pledges, the counterfeit presentment of the two brothers. LOOK HERE, TJFOW SHIS FIOSTOB To the Totors of Colombia County. As various unfounded reports have already been put into circulation relating to my views of the local questions that now agitate the cougty, it may be proper for me to stale, that it I am elected Member of Assembly at the approaching election.

In making this statement I represent the views of the people, particularly of the Vas tern enit of the county. C. B. BOWMAN. Berwick, 16th September, 1850. rfJYD-OJV THIS! Bloomsburg, Sept. 6th, 1847. Zb the Democratic Delegates of Columbia coun ty, in Convention assembled : As my name is before you for the office of Senatoi, and as it is now the wish of all well disposed members of the Democratic party to lay aside local feeling and sectional jealousy, and act in concert as members of the party, I wish to have it fairly understood that I am opposed to any alteration of the removal law, or to any attempt to repeal or arrest the operation of the laws passed by the{ Legislature on that subject. 1 am also opposed to any division or other dismemberment of the oounty. The friends of removal have accomplished their wishes: the old local question is therefore settled, and I am opposed to the agitation of any new one in the county. Let ns now have regular Democratic nom inations, giving each section of the eounty a fair proportion of the candidates. This course will secure union, harmony and suc cess to the Democratic party. I pledge my- that I will support regular nominations, in County, State, and National Conventions: and whether in public or private life, I will devote my political exertions to the success and promotion of Democratic men and mea sures, as I have for the past twenty-seven years. Respectfully vours, V. BEST. The Dnty of Democrats. It is the plain duty of every true Demo crat, to be steadfast in the support of regu lar nominations. By this means alone, can bo prove the sincerity of bis professions; for the ascendency of Democratic principles depends entirely upon the success of the candidates who are selected to carry them out. The man who, either from general laxity of potitical[priqciple, or for every pet ty cause of dissatisfaction with regular nom inations of his party, suffer himself to be persuaded into the support of opposition candidates, is unworthy the name of Dem ocrat, and the sooner he renounces it, the sooner will he come out in his tine oolore.— These truths have suggested themselves to our mind, as furnishing an appropriate sub ject for a few remarks in our Democratio fel low-citizens, upon the approaching election. THE SCHUYLKILL NAVIGATION. —At a meet ing of the Stock and Loan holders of the Schuylkill Navigation Company, held ou the 9th ult., it was resolved to proceeiHforthwith with the repairs of the Canal. The cost was estimated at $200,000, a large portion of which has already been subscribed. The work is now progressing, and will probably be completed to Readiqg, in the course of a few weeks. It is intended to finish the up pper section to Port Carbon, during the win ter so as to be ready for the spring business.

JEMMY Lotus HERDSMAN'S BONO.— Among the soogs sung by Jenny Lind is the oelebra led "Herdman's song," wbioh she sings in Swedish, and which is admirably fitted to bring out the capacities ot her voice. After five utterances of the call for the herd "hu ah!" accompanied by the echo, she breaks into a laugh 80 bjarty, natural and unex pected, that itseeics the very soul of rustic cheerfulness ; and )ou as* with the "poor herdsman's boy" amid sylvan landscapes and the lowing kine. We subjoin an im perfect English translation of this song : Come hither, come bither,'my pretty herd; Huah, huah. huah, huah, huah. Come' ox and cow, and weanling brood, And hasten to taste of the morning food. For night with her shade creeps darken ing on: Ring shrill bom on the mouatain round, And follow my cattle the welcome sonnd, Huah, huah. huah, to grateful abundance my flock speed ye, Long beside where hearth-fires bum, My love has waited my return.

' GOOD SUGGESTION.— It is stated that Jenny CJTYHI 15 ITI tITE HSliy i'liuoij'i CTT ITO DP^TIT^ letters.

FIFTEENTH CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT.—Gov ernor Johnston has issued his writ (or a spe cial election in the Fifteenth Congressional district, to supply the vaoancy in the present Congress, created by the death of Dr. Henry Nes, the late Whig representative of that district. The election is to be held on the same day as the general election. Expulsionsfrom College.—-M the Detroit U niversity, the subjects of secret societies pro duces considerable difficulty.
