A Thought to Think About
A correspondent of ours from a neighbor
ing county expresses deep regret that tho
Democratic party should in many counties
be so divided that though (hero is a large
Democralio majority, it is not reliable ; and
he asks—what shall be done to cure this
evil ?
To us it occurs that this comes from a lax
regard of usage in the party, by which men
nre placed in nomination whose main merit
is that they have at a previous lime aided
to defeat a regular and undisputed nomina
ton of the party. This seems like reward
ing disorganization, and hence come the
many competitors for the reward. But when
ever men who have opposed regular nomi
nations are placed upon tho ticket, there are
many discriminating Democrats who leel
that such candidates cannot avail themselves
of a protection oil the ticket which they
themselves did not give to others; and that
• he who has himselt made war upon a fair
nomination cannot claim that such nomina
tion next year shall shield him.
Ho who will not observe discipline tow
ards others has no right to ask others to ob
serve discipline towards him. Ilenco seem
to arise the cutting and ot tick
els; and we cannot see where '.he evil can
Hop unless conventions learn to understand
that he who has for the first opposed a nom
ination has withdrawn himself from the pale
of party discipline. So long as opposition to
a nomination is treated as it merit and rewar
ded it will grow worse but can never be cur
ed. This certainly is a thing to think about
in coolness and prudence.
ESTTho negro who was on week before
last captured by Assistant Marshall at
Wilketbarre as a fugitive slave was lite
same one whom Mr. Jameson Harvey had
been charged with concealing. It will be
remembered that a prosecution had been in
stituted in the United States District Court
upon this charge, which was amicably com
promised ; ai:d it is now said, (we know
not with how much truth,) that it was a part
of that compromise that Mr. Ilarvcy should
send the negro to YYilkesbarro with the team,
where he might fall into the hands of the
Deputy Marshall. The case at least shows
that the men of the South have no cause to
complain for the want of legal protection in
Pennsylvania.
The Cost of Liquor.
The last State Treasurer's report shows j
that for the year 1850, the amount paid for
tavern licenses was $107,427 49. For the
present year there are in Columbia county
34 licensed tavers which will pay altogether
$392,25 for the privilege of selling lire-wa
ter. There are in the county 33 stores
where liquor is sold, and the increase of the
license revenue from this source is $139,50
Three distilleries pay a special license of
$2l over and above their tax. From these
sources then the direct liquor tax paid in
Columbia county is $452,75. How much is
paid indirectly we have no means of deter
mining.
Caitawissa Railroad Meeting.
The citizens of Tamaqua have held a
meeting, at which they resolved that they j
would collectively and individually use eve
ry effort lo aid in the completion of the Cut
tawissa, Williamsport and Etie Railroad.
They appointed a committee to make ar
rangements for a general meeting of the
friends of the road from all points to be held
at Cattawissa at such time as ttie Commit
tee may determine.
[F Our friend Wynkoop of tho Miners
ville Bulletin guesses more like a spiritual
knocker than a live Yankee who can beat all
nature catching trout. For a story is told ot
one of these knockers who when asked how
a distinguished man then thought of had
died rapped out' d e l e-r-i-u-tn t-r-e-m-e n s.
Well, said the querist, I was thinking of Mar
tin Luther.
py A correspondent of the Potlsmlle Em
porium suggests that Col. Michael U. Hower.
formerly of this county and now of Lower
Maliaulongo township in Schuylkill, should
be nominated by tho Democratic Convention
of Schuylkill for Associate Judge.
EF" One good effect of the new postage
law will be that it will compel people to pay
their loiters in advance, for very few will ov
er take an unpaid letter from the office.
|y Richard M'Allisler, Esq., is spoken of
as most likely to be" nominated for the S(at e
Senate by the Democrats of the Dauphin
district.
The "Union Star" says that the Hon. £-
lis Lewis will address the citizens ol New
Berlin on the 4th of July. .
EY PAMX>NED.— Presidert Fillmoro has
pardoned George Baldwin, who was convic
ted, last year, in tbe United States Circuit
Court, in Williamsport, of robbing the mail,
at Great Bend Post Office,, in Susquehanna
county, and sentenced lo ten years' confine
ment in the Western Penitentiary.
A patent sewing machine is now exhib
ited anil offered for sale in Lancaster. It is
said to do stitching very well and very fast,
,but that is the only kind of sewing it will do.
The tailors have not got a very favorable
opinion of its utility, and the great probabil
ity is that unless further improvements are
on it, it will not come info general use,
It sells for $1 26.
> '' ——r
Game for Two,
There is a good deal of truth in the fol
lowing paragraph which may be experienced
(that is if your're a handsome Colonel, Ma
jor or Captpin and wear a moustache,) by ta
king a stroll along Chesnut streoet.
"Father, I hate that Mr. Smith," said a
Chesnut street beauty, the other day to fief
honored parent.
"Why 80, my daughter 1"
"Because he always stares at me so hard
when he meets mo in the street."
"But, my child, how do you know that
Mr. Smith stares at you 1"
"Why, because I have repeatedly seen
him do it."
"Well, Julia, don't you ever look at the
impudent man again when you meet him,
and then he may stare his eyes out, without
annoying you in the least. Remember, that
it always takes two pair of eyes to make a
perjccl stare."
"Ahem—well—T—I—l'.ievc you're right,
father I"— Philadelphia Herald.
VAI.CE GIVEN TO Com ON m ITS TBANS'KOR
MATION.—The enormous value given to
cotton in its various transformations, is
shown in Iho article of lace, ol which there
is Ail the London exhibition, doubtless, a
richer displry than the world over saw to
gether before. India, France, fielgium and
England are vieing for supremacy in this
manufacture. A manufacturer of Manches
ter furnished samples of one pound of cot
ton spun into 900 banks, of 840 yards each,
making a distance ip all of 430 miles, should
the single thread be extended to its utmost.
Another firm exhibited 1200 hanks, of the
same number of yards each, from a single
pound of cotton. The first then exhibited
one pound of cotton spun into a thread 2000
miles long, which shows the perfection to
which cotton machinery has arrived. Brus
sels lace, all made from cotton, is exhibited,
worth £201) sterling ($1000) per yard. A
lacc shawl, made in Franco lor the duchess
of Sutherland, is oxhibited, the cost of which
is £lOOO sterling. A bridal dress is shown,
for which the owner wants £5OOO. The girl
who wrought at it the first three years be
came blind froin the heavy task it put upon
her eyes. Just think of simple handiwork
enhancing the value of a shilling's worth of
cotton to $25,000 !
