STAR OPTHR NORTH. R. W. WEAVER, EDITOR. Bloomsburg- Thursday- KUv. 0- 1851. PARASITE Is a name given by the medical fraternity lo a filthy worm that is generated in the hu man body, and then grows until it destroys thut which gave it life and being. Wo cams across the name a few days ago, and we thought of poor Simon Came:.„-n, defiled and devoured as he is in those days by the base creatures to whom he gave life and suste nance. It is a sickening sight to see the par asilcs that a few short years ago fed and fat tened on his bounty, now sliug him to death and gnaw the life out of him. It is a si n and a shame. The readers of this journal will bear wit ness that it was among the very first in the state to reprove the political heresies of Mr. Cameron. We were then more than once told from his parasites that though our course was just it was imprudent and unprofitable for us. This was said by those who know 110 course of right but that of prudence and profit, and whe can only measure rectitude by tLe price it pays. But poor Simon lias now got a "bad name" and his old apologists all cry out "mad dog " So when poor Felly Best commenced going down hill each of his old friends gave him an aflectiouate kick. And why this? The Ethiop doas not chango his skin nor the lion his spots. Cam eron has not commenced any new course of warfaro against the organization and usages of the Democratic party, and his Whig posi tion on the tarifT is just what the parasites of his/u( days are trying to steal from him. Tho men whom only a smile from him used to make happy are his basest traducers now, wh# were wont to listen to his word as if an orucle had spoken, andVho warned us a gainst the rashness of attaching the great dragon, now fear to be called his friends— "Now lies he there, And nono so poor to do him reverence." While they only complain it ihey cannot find another ass to kick the dead lion. It was not Mr. Cameron but his political heresies and his disorganization of the Dem ocratic party that we contended against; and now we insist that they who gloried in his shame shall not profit and purgo f'them sclves by their double treachery and by po hypocritical cant against him. Self-preservation may be the apology of the parasite, but not every adventurer can screen himself by the delusion lhat "every thing is fair in politics." SERIOUS ACCIDENT. ON the 18th ult., Ma. DANIEL WOLFE of Mifflin township in this county lost his life by a sad and singular fatality. He bad been West, and was returning homo through Bradford county, when he met two gentle men on the public road, whilo two others al so came upther. who wero travelling in the same direction with himself; and just as the several parties were crowded together in their passage, a very long tree fell across the road and knocked several of the travel lers down, tearing off the whole lop of Mr. Wolfe's cranium and seriously injuring his spine, so that he died after a few days of in tense suffering. One of the other gentle men was also injured rorae, but not danger ously. "The number of persons meeting in the highway, as well as tne sudden fall of the tree, rendered it impossible for them to get out of the danger. The tree, our informant says, was some 160 feet long ; and iho men cutting it wero so far from the road that tliey had no thought it could reach there in its fall, nor had they .through the thick woods, heard any person travelling on the highway. Mr. Wolfe, we believe, ".was on horseback' as was also another of the travellers. Two were in a buggy. OUR TABLE. Harper's Magazine lor Novembor is filled with a great mass of good things, and fur nished a feast of reason to delight the most surfeited literary epicure. A contemporaiy who reads all the new publications says this is the best of them, and we can heartily concur in his deeision so far as the testimo ny belore us goes. The present number completes the third volume of the work which in the first eighteen months of its ex istence has attained a circulation of some HO, 000 copies, and received tho highest com mendations from the press. It is a solid pub lication, and gives the cream of foreign lit erature. Each number contains 144 pages, And the yearly terms are S3. OUR TURN NOW. The Whigs, just before "the Pennsylvania election, had their man Reading elected "all hollow" for Governor of California. They kept up their spirits for several weeks by this story, but the trouble was that Mr. Read ing wouldn't btay elected, and their victory tlidu't even get its pin feathers failly out till the true Democratic lightning gave it a stroke of John Bigler's election by 1500, and the poor thing died right down. They always get their good newa first, and a "leitle" too early to last well. Its our turn to crow now. lEACCCLE COMMUNITY. —Although the December Term of our courts will com mence three and a half months after the August Term, it will be noticed that there •re only fourteen small causes on the trial list, and only one sheriff sale. The c riminul business 100 will be meager. GF THE SCALPEL is a valuable quarterly journal of medical knowledge well edited by Dr. E. H. Dixon, and well printed Dewitt and by Deavenport of N. York, for 81 ayear. It cuts and slashes into quackery with a right hearty good will.

W The Pennsylvanian, (very bad author ity !) has a telegraphic despatch from Ro ' Chester, in which it is slated thut Frederick s Douglass, tho negro abolitionist, received 21 i votes for Assembly in the Whig District Con . venlion, out of 99 votes polled. Wo strong ly suspect that it was an Abolition Conven -1 tion at which the black deed was perpetra ted, but the Pcimsylvanian, in character, ri made it Whig. —No other paper had tho , news.— Danville Democrat. It was even the Whig conveuliou a . which the "black deed" was Mr. Cook; and what makes you even l worse authority that the Pemwjlvanian which you call so "bad, • is the fact that the tele graphic despatch referred to was not sent to the Pcnnsylvanian but was a public despatch to all the city papers who have associated together for the public telegraphic news, and appeared promptly in the Public Ledger and Whig Daily News, while the other .Whig pa pers of that morning did not let the item see daylight. No doubt they thought it a "black deed." If you have riot ye! seen the "wool" on this thing, neighbor, allow us to quote you a telegraphic despatch from Horace Greely's Whigh New York Tribune, the true organ of the Now York "woolly heads." Here it coihes : "Fred. Douglas and the Silver Greys. —Ro- ; Chester, Monday, Oct. 27, 1851.—The state ment lhat twenty-one voles were given in the Whig Assembly Convontion for F. Doug lass, is correct. The most active person in electioneering for him was L. R. Jerome, a deputy collector of customs and connected with The Rochester American. The votes were all given by well-known Silver Groys. Th§/ had full half the Convention, and could have nominated a respectable candidate if they had chosen to bring one forward. The nominee is a true and staunch whig." Greeley no doubt thinks like yourself, that it was a ' black deed," and so tries to shove it on the "silver greys." Either way will do, j gentlemen, but we hope you won't call | "bad" namts again until you are sure who ! did the "black deed." Finances of Dnnvllle Borough. The officers of the Borough of Danville have published a statement of their financial affairs, which sums up as fallows : A STATEMENTCF THE INDEBTEDNESS of the Borough of Danville on the 22d day of June, 1851.

John Brisbin has our thanks for forwarding us a copy of Blair's Congression al Globe and Appendix containing the full proceedings of the last session of Congress, and the important speeches of the session, reported at length. It is bound and well printed; and is a most valuable yearly re cord of the political history of the country. It is quite fortunate lhat in these progressive days we have public documents bound up in such a way that they can bo preserved, and Congressmen who are attentive to their con stituents, and understand that public docu ments are meant to furnish political light to the people. Mr. Brisbin has certainly been a useful representative of this district. NEW COUNTERFEITS. — New counterfeit 85 notes on the Philadelphia Bank have made their appearance. They are letter "A," va riously filled up. The general appearance ct the note is not good, the medallions snd the faces of the females in the vignette are im perfect commas between the names of "Uunderwood & Bald and Draper It Un derwood," are omitted. The dots between the words "Five- -Five," on the upper and lower margins are oblong in the good notes, and square in the counterfeit. THE OXONIANS, by Sir Edward Lytton Bui wer, is the best readable novel out. It por trays the profligacy and dissipation of "high life" in England, with a grapic pen ; and we need not add our assurance that Sir Ed ward is just the man who has the talent and practical knowledge necessary to write such a work. T. B. Peterson is the publisher, 98 Chesnut Street, Philadelphia. Speaker of the House- Either J. Ellis Bonham or John S. Rbey will be Speaker of the next Pennsylvania I House of Representatives. Mr. Bonham , wilt be elected if he can be spared from the floor. PROGRESSIVE— The Dublin World, a radi cal Irish paper, talks'about the annexation of Ireland to the United States. Go ahead ! Two Weeks Later from California. •2,300.000 IN GOLD DUST. Election of Col. Bigler and the tchole Demo cratic Ticket. NEW YORK, November 1, 1851. The steamship Cheiokee, with twe weeks later news frofr California, arrived here at this ensiling. She brings dates from San Francisco to Ihe Ist of Octo ber. The Cherokee has on board a large num ber of passengers, and $2,300.000 in gold. The goneral news from California is not very important. The country remains quiet, and crime is so seldom heard of that a genera! feeling of security pervades the community. Trade is comparatively dull, yet the miners were never doing belter. The fall trade was looked forward to with much confidence. Tho valus of real estate was improving, and although money was a little tight, the country bear the general features of prosper ity. The perional properly insured by the city of 'Jan Frairci.-co at tho pres3iit litno is seven teen millions seven hundred and forty-five tho'li ar d dollars. The steamer Oregon, from San Francisco for Panama took a million of dollars on her raani ■ r 2W. Great rejoicing had taken place at San Francisco, at the last trip Sy the Nicargagua route, Messrs. Gregory & Co. having deliver ed their packages in twenty-seven days from New York. This route is now fully open, and meets genoral favor. TERRIBLE RIOT AT CHAGRF.S —Loss or LIFE. A terrible liot is reported to have occurred at Chagrcs, between tho natives and return ing Culiforniana. The passengers by the Cherokee report that some thirty or forty natives and a num ber of Californiaus were killed in the riot. Messrs. Adams & Co.'s messengers, with ail their dispatches, was left behind, and it is feared that he was killed by the natives. THE ELECTION. The returns of the late election show ma- ' jorites for all the candidates on the Demo cratic ticket, ranging from one to five thous and. John Bigler is elected Governor by about fifteen hundred .majority. Marshall and McCorkle are elected to Congress by heavy majorities. Major Roman, the Democratic candidate for Treasurer, leads his ticket,Jiaving alrea dy 4,700 majoiity over Burt. With the exception of the *He for Gover nor, every county gives a majntity for the Democratic ticket. Both branches of the Legislature are strongly Democratic. Tho whole vote polled in the State is a bout 45,000. Purdy, Democrat, is elected Lieutenant Governor, and Pearce, State Comptroller. Marshall was to leave for Washington on ! tho 4th 6f October.

HEALTH EXTRAORDINARY. —In the very flourishing village of Cleveland, Oswego County, N. Y., containing a population over 1200 inhabitants, there has not boen a death j of either old or young since Nov. 4th, 7830; nor has there been a fire, nor a case of as sault and battery, nor any open breach of the peace. EMIGRATION WESTWARD —More than 1,000 emigrant wagons passed through Indicnapc lis, Ind., during last week, all bound West. The number ot emigrants this season has beeu greatly augmented, in consequence of the passage ot Ihe bounty land bill. ty It is now duly announced with a pro per flourish of trumpets that Mrs. Edwiu Eorrest will make her appearance op the 1 stage in a few days. The thing ry.ay load to some soenes not down in t.he hills. ty BarUAirr, has opened an establishment [ in New York for the sale of his Phillips fire armihilators at from $lO to $35 a piece. In about a year there will bo one of these ma chines in every family. AN EARLY BIRD —A correspondent of the Pennsylvanian recommends Maj. John Cum mingsot Union county for the next Canal Commissioner of Pennsylvania. ty The gossips of the press "do tell," that Edward Willis, the brother of Dandy Nat, is to be the fiscal agent of Lola_Monies in this country. iy Congress will meet on Monday the Ist day of December. Hon. Lynn Boyd of Kentuckyjwill be Speaker of the House. iy The terms of the Knickerbocker Mag azine arc reduced from $5 to $3 a year. , THE PRESIDENCY. Francis J. Grund, Ihe Wasliinglon corres pondent of the Ledger gives the following rates of Presidential stock. We have some five or six Whig candi date in the field for the Presidency, and a dozen Democrats. So far the friends of the old fogies, calling themselves vetorans, have made a slont fight for ascendancy; but a country is never older than one generation the living one boing considerably less than a third of a century. You may rely; pretty certainly, on the candidacy of Henry Clay, who will certain ly be in the field, having juvanised ht Ash land, and drank largely of the waters of po litical oblivion. Ho is every inch a man— an entire man—a patriot, and will electrify the country once more with his name. Next comes the "God-like Daniel." He looks fresh, hale and hearty—without a ves tige of gout, rheumatism or lumbago. Ho feels be has a mission to fulfil, and is ready for the crisis. His iriends are very active, and his admirers as numerous as the friends of the Union. Mr. Fillmoro has resolved to wait till ho is asked ; and blushes with maiden modesty as often as the Presidency is mentioned in his presence. Mr. Crittenden has selected a screw-pro peller for the tace ; he is thus ready to go fair wind or foul. Gen. Scott's friends seem to be dishearten ed by the results in Pennsylvania and Ohio • but hope for belter things after the meeting of Congress. Their motto is nil desperan dum I General Wool has been here on a recon noitering expedition ; but the result has not yet transpired. Genera! Cass is strong as ever in the affec tions of the people ; though a powerful com bination of politicians is arrayed in arms a gainst hint. Every young man under fifty I have seen expresses a preference for Douglas ; but the latter is roady to yield to any man who can unite the party better than himself. A very fair and safe offer! The Southern Press proposes that the ex treme South should not go into Convention at all, but run Mason of Virginia, and some other Nulifier, for President and v ice Presi dent, with a view to unite the Southern vote. This, I believe, is the sixty-sixth humbug within the last three years." in a subsequent letter he says : "There are considerable troubles growing out of the 12th Article of the Mexican Trea ty, by which our government pledged itself to protect the Mexicans from the ravages of the Indians. If some more energetic meas ures are not resorted to, Mexico will soon figure up claims against our treasury, equal to the whole revenue from customs. It was this 12th Article that caused all the trouble in the Senate, at the time the treaty was be fore that body, iu secret session, and it is precisely tho article which Mr. Trist, then chief clerk of the State Department, inserted in the treaty, against the instructions of the government. Mr Douglas voted against the treaty on that account, and foretold the trouble and expense it would put us to. Speaking of Judge Douglas, I must not forget a pretty remark of his, made the oth er day to some of his frionds. The conver sation turning 011 the next Presidency, "Gen tlemen," said Mr. Douglas, "I care not one straw what the Convention at Baltimore may do in regard to that matter, provided they nominate a man who can unite the party and be elected. If there are men who will not stump it for me, I will stump it for Hum there is no map whom the Convention can nominate that 1 will cheerfully support " General Wool is still here, planning bat tles ; it is however suspected that he will have to be satisfied with Bucna Vtstu, (a fine view.) The most prominent candidate for the Speakership, seems to be Linn Boyd, of Ky., and the most promineut candidate for Clerk of the House, Col. John W. Forney, of our city, who has more than twice earned that honor. There seems to bo a general feeling here that the office is du3 to him, and he will, no doubt, prove the strongest candi date fo. the place. I have not been able, as yet, to do justice to the work of Calhoun, the political Hamlet soliloquizing among the dry bones of South Carolina; but if Mr. Calhoun were not known as a Statesman, no one, from merely reading his book, would have had the slight est suspicion of the fact. He labors through sivty pages to prove that we are not a nation and that our government being " federal" for bids all such natisna as treasonable, though the word "federal" is not to be found in the Constitution ! The book also evinces a to tal obsence—l may say a suppression—of historical knowledge, coupled with aii im mense elaboration of a few abstract notions, which no scientific mind would receivj, qt' u . orwise than as so many hypothesis but which Mr. Calhoun lays '., oWn as axioms fiom which ho (crny u 'iates and argues, with a vast am.&uy,i of slippery dialectics. He -'fge'.s that thern is nothing so hasy as the demonstration of a proposition which he takes for granted in the outset. This work of Calhoun's will no more add fo his fame as a Statesman, than Sir Isaac Newton's work on the Apocalypso has added to his reputation as a mathematicion. Says Meph istopheles to the student: "1 tell thee friend, a man who speculates, Is like a beast upon a barren hoath, Starving, and led in circles by the devil; While lar beyond him fresh the meadows bloom." OBSERVER, RHODE ISLAND. —The General Assembly of Rhode Island, which assembled on Tueedag last, adjourned on Friday. A lour days' session only! Rhode Island is a very small State in extent, and it does not take long to ravel through it legislatively. A bill for the total abolition of imprisonment for debt was passed unanimously in the Senate, was postponed by the House to the next session. ty In the city wheat js worth from 80 to 85 cents ; Pennsylvania rye 70, and com 60 cents Philadelphia Store Robbed. On Friday night of last week the Dry Goods Store of Riegal & Brother, No. 245 N. 2d street, was broken into by thieves, and robbed of fancy Silks, Satitis, Shawls, and other fine goods to the value of about $3OOO —the sum of nenrly 9700 in uncunent funds, some 980 in broken bank bills, and counter, fcit notes, and a number of notes due the firm. Certain individuals have been arrest ed on suspicion of being the guilty parties- A While Woman Released from Slavery The Circuit Court of Rockingham county ( Va., last week, after a trial that excited much interest, decided that Amanda Jane, who had been held as a slave ever since her birth, some twenty-six yoars ago, was a white woman, although her origin was dis tinctly traced to a negress, who was a slave. Exoeptions have been taken to the decision of the case, by the counsel of the defen dants. Amanda's mother, it was proved, was a negro slave, yet the color of Aman da's skin, her hair, her eyes, her nose, her whole physical exterior, would prove her to bo what the jury have made her—a white woman. She has two perfectly white chil dren. DELAWARE ELECTION. —On Tuesday LB E people ol Delaware held an election, to d e cide on the questio.i of Constitutional re form. It is put before the people in the usu al form, "For a Convention," or -'Against a Convention." The objects contemplated in the reform are :—l. Free Suffrage. 2. Sin gle District Representation. 3. Equality in reference to Official Qualification. 4. Tee Election of Public officers by the People 5. Judicial Reform. 6. The fixidity of the position of the Slate in reference to the Ne gro Question. 7. Tax Reform. 8. Annual Elections. 9. The Veto. THE COUNTY COMMISSIONERS met at thei office on last Friday and drew the jurors ror December Term. Mr. Labour the senior member of the Board retired then, and An drew Freas, the newly elected member, was qualified to act in his place. Mr. Isaiah John was on the same day qualified to sorve for one year more in the place of the late Mr. Vetter. Mr. Labor has made a very good and honest officer, and Mr. Freas'char acter gives every indication that he will make a worthy and useful successor. The people have decided that in his past servi ces Mr. John has been a "good and faithful servant." Austiia's Back Up ! WASHINGTON, NOV. 1. Chevalier Hulseman, the Austrian Minis ter, had an interview with Mr. Webster at the Department, this morning, and I have no doubt the rumor is true that he is instruc ted to a*d his passports as soon as Kossuth arrives. tW Thaddeus Stevens, Esq , ol Lancaster is engaged in collecting the funds necessary' to establish in that city a Whig (Abolition) paper, to be called the "Independent Whig." The stockholders are to meet on Monday, the 11th November, to choose "a Treasurer and make other arrangements for the speedy publication of said paper." CALIFORNIA WINS THE BANNER !
