HUM AND FAITHFUL.
Il ves en eol of simple justice to the hon
est sentiment of this county thet one of the
citizens ol Columbia was chosen as the can-
of the people's cause for United States
Senator. We are not given to boasting, and
cannot play the braggart; but this we ran of
a truth aay—that no county in the State has
proved more firm and honest in its political
faith than Columbia. If, by too strong a re
liance on hollow professions the people were
ever deceived, in the end they have always
vindicated the cause of public virtue, and re
buked the deceivers.
That class of mongrel politicians who are
all things to all men—the camp-followers in
the fray of parties —have never found much
favor in Columbia. Almost every man you
meet will tell you he prelera an honorable an
tagonist to a treacherous slly. Cameronism
has never obtained a forthold, and the school
efeipediency politicians has never sent more
than one or two of its emissaries here. —
True at the famous Williamsport convention,
when Middletown notes weie used in the at
tempt to defraud the choice of honest men,
Cameron managed to find one or two borers
from Columbia ; and in later days lie could
now and then buy a puff. But this was only
frdm some poor venal creature without char
acter or brains—one of that class which the
Know-Nothings buy up with the promise of
three cents patronage to do their dirty work.
It must of course have teen one of this class
that lately sent the wonderful i intelligence to
Harrisburg that there was u only one Demo
crat in Columbia County opposed to Camiron /"
Such fellows always have the impudence ol
tbed—l; well, let them go—the worid is wide
enough.
The people of Columbia are anxious lo see
a statesman from Pennsylvania in the Nation
al Senate; and not a mousing trickster to
sneak around the public treasury and smell
out the weak spots Icr his greedy comrades.
They wish to see in that place a fit repre
sentative of open manliness and honor; and
not the chief of midnight plots, and the prince
of the loafing boiers who hang around the
capilol lo the disgrace of the Stale and Ike
corruption of our legislation. They are pleas
ed that one of their own citizens has been
chosen to be a candidate, and their hearts are
in the contest.
That our brethren through the Staje may
see that no unworthy association is connect
ed with Mr. Buckalew, ond under what con
sideration he was nominated, the following
letter from Democrats iu this County, lo Mr.
Maxwell, is here published. It was an im
proptu movement, and no man to whom it
was shown refused to ; gu it. It wan not
sent because any man for a moment doubl
ed Mr. Maxwell's fidelity to the cause of the
people, but as a record of public sentimenl
and a movement ol the people. Il is right to
say that Mr. Buckalew tiad 110 participation
in, or knowledge of the letler; and though
for some years past be has not at home taken
any active and open part against the politi
cians of easy virtue and loose principles, ex
cept when personally concerned ; yet in 1845
there was no mbn who was mote decided
against Cameron:
MR. JAMES C. MAXWELL :
Dear Sir —Thd ex*
Inordinary and desperate efforts which Si
mon Cameron is now making to secure leg
islative votes for himself as United Stales
Senator will, we feel, justify us in calling
your attention to the almost unanimous sen
timent of the Democrats in this County
against bis election to that station. Indeed
■o strong and general is the feeling here
which regards him destitute of every respec
table attribute of statesmanship, and as a
politician entirely depending en craft and
cunning for bis success, that not one true
Democrat of any character in the county has
openly expressed a wish for his election.
The true Democrats of Columbia are at
lache'd to their political faith from an earnest
conviction of right, and an honest devotion
to principle; and not from any sordid motives
of expediency. Their creed is always the
same—whether in the dark hour of danger or
the sunshine of victory. If all else was iost
they would save at least their honor.
lu the campaign of last fall, when il was
our pleasuro to have your nume on onr ban
ner, tho oause of the people found its most
malignant enemy in the ugents of that clam
orous bigotry and illiberal ignorance to which,
as you and your constituents know, Mr. Cam
eron ootv mainly looks for his election ; and
of which he vrctrld be the agent and repre
sentative if sent to Washington. For it it
very certain that if he did not expect the sup
port of that new party he would not be a
candidate; and if he ia the candidate
of American Jadobinism no honest and
.Intelligent Democrat can consistently vole
for him. We desire lo save our party from
the shame—the Keystone State from the
stigma, and the National Senate from the
disgrace of having a Pennsylvania Know-
Nothing in the second highest position in
the republic.
Highly grati Ced as the people of Columbia
sre with the honorable and creditable com
mencement of your legislative service, tbey
fell a deep interest in Ihis subjeot.
Accept, dear sir, tho best assurances of our
personal rospect and esteem, and believe us
Truly your friends,

They non e I.lke It-
The Harrsiburg correspondent of the Phil
delphia Daily New , in speaking of the nom
ination of Cameron by the Konw-Nolhing
caucus, calls the act "a deed the most foul
that ever darkened the political annals of
Pennsylvania." He goes on to say:
" It was accomplished hi tl igrant, unmit
igated corruption alone; and it will bain
vain for the men with Whig antecedents,
who participated in this political crime, to
deny that they gave their votes lo Cameron
lor a consideration.
This is the first act of the "American" par
ly in this Stale, which vaunted so loudly in
the preface of its determination to throw off
the pirates who have so long infested li.e
body politic. Well have they attested their
sincerity by nominating the most notoriously
corrupt man in the Slate—one who never
accomplished anything politically but wi'.h
money 1
To exhibit the turpitude of these men in
its most glaring light, it must be known that
Cameron and his personal friends were tho
most unrelenting enemies the "Know-Noth
ings" had in the Slate. No sooner, howev
er, was the result ol' last fall's election ascer*
lained than he crawled into the Order by
some back track, anil no v buys from them
a seat in the Senate of lite United Slates !

Strong Ami good Advice.
The U'ilkeebarre Record, edited by an in- |
telligenl Federalist of the old school, sees
the begitiitig of the end of Know-Nothing
isrn if Cameron is elected to the United
Stales Senate snd lectures the , Whigs and
Know-Nothings in the following forcible
style.
What encouragement will there he for
men of lalent in our ranks to devote their
energies for the advancement ol American
principles and American interests if impor
tant officers in the gift of tho people are to
be bestowed on dough faced political op
ponents w ho may claim kindred in prosper
ity.
The alliance of Simon Cameron may
bring to the American party many Locofo
cos hut it will leave the old democratic prt
ty stronger than ever in a lew years, while
it tvilltinlroduce into the new party an ele
ment of discord, already foreshadowed in
the Caucus, which will ultimately blow it
sky high.
There aru many staunch and tried Whigs
in Luzetne county, some of litem, no doubt
connected from honest convictions with the
Know-Nolltiiigs, who will never submit to
be bought and sold for the benefit of old po
litical hacks, nor see their old party friends
and leaders sacrificed without a protest."
Something Wrong-
It is always unpleasant lo be compelled to
complain, hut we have lately heard 100 many
censures Irotn business men in this neighbor
hood upon tho management of the shipping
on the Reading and Caltawissa Railroad, to
allow the mutter lo remain longer in silence.
We have ourselves had testimony of the de
lay or miscarriages of goods ab"ut which we
had hesrd much from others. Some printing
materials, which it was very important we
should receive promptly, were shipped to
our address at Philadelphia on Tuesday of last
week, and we have to this time (Wednesday
afternoon) been unable to find them or hear
about them- The editor of the Sunbury Amer
ican lately complained of repeated delays and
miscarriages of goodt for that region, and it
is certainly high lime thai more efficient
management was introduced whore the laull
exists. If goods csnnol get over the road in
a week Irom Philadelphia to thia place, il is
lime the public know the fact, and that the
Companies did justice to the public.
A Faithful Sentinel. >
President Pierce has proved himself in ev
ery emergency a faithful guardian of the
people's cause, and iu "U instance more so
than in Ids veto of the iVentf.'t spoliation bill.
This was one of the many jijojed'a of plun
der hatched up by the loafers arouud tl.tpsp*
itol; and was to obtain indemnity for
losses sustained more than half a century"
ago by a class of smugglers who in defiance
of law rnrmd on a counterband trade and
were captured by French vessels.
All spoliations committed on legitimate
American commerce were adjusted before
General Jackson's time, and paid for by the
American government. Il tvas for that sum
so paid on the adjusted claims thai Jackson
compelled France to indemnity the Ameri
can government.
A voice from the West.
The three candidates for United Stales
Senrtor in Missouri, who have for more than
forty ballots divided the voles ol the legists
lure, are all in favor of the Douglea-Nebras
ke bill. Missouri adjoins the new territory,
and the position of these candidates shows
how the question is understood there.
MESSRS. REEVES, BUCK &Co., of Phcenix
vilie, publish a Card offering to sell their va
rious manufactures of Iron and Nails, at the
lowest current cash prices, and receive in
payment therefor, their notes falling due re
spectively in Juno and September next.
This offer is highly honorable to the enter
prising ffrtn from whom it comes ; and a
gratifying earnest of their recovery from the
pecuniary embarrassment which drove them
to a suspension in December last.
Gang of 1 hices Broken up-
SunauEiiiMNA Pa., Feb. 14.—A gang of
youthful burglars, who have carried on their
depredations for a year past in ibis vicioit),
has been broken up, and the principal par
lies arrested. They have been doing an ex
tensive business, entering stores, and com
mitting petty thefts on the railroad trains.
ThSV transactions have been most adroitly
performed, and it is probable that they would
still have escaped deteciion, if one of the par
ty had not turned State's evidence and expo
sed the gang. A large quantity of property
stolen, has been recovered. It was neatly
packed and ready for market.

Correspondence of Ike Star.
From Harrisburg.
HARRIBURO, Feb. 15th—The result in the
Democratio caucus will highly please the
people of your county. Judge Woodward
received 12 votes and Mr. Buckalew 13.
The report runs here that while the caucus
was in session the Know-Nothing bolters
sent in worJ that they would give Woodward
42 votes it he was nominated. Appearances
indicate that if a new man is to be chosen, il
will be Woodward.
Messrs. Fry, Haldeman and Piatt of the Sen
ate sta'.d out of the Democratic caucus. The
fitst two voted for Cameron on firt ballo', and
Mr. Piatt for Buckalew.
There never was deeper excitement here
than on last Tuesday. The pos'ponemnt is
regarded as fatal to Cameron, though in this
day of secret ballotitig, and midnight plots
no man can tell what to-morroiv may bring
forth.
Many spicy stories gain currency, and in
all the smoke there must be some fire. In
ter alia Dr. Jayne of patent medicine notori
ety is explained to have made a foolish in
vestment of S7OO lo one of the loafing Dorers
who hang about rich men for plunder It
was to secure bis election to the United
Stales Senate, and at the present price of some
votes might perhaps have done so had not
the borer spent the money lor a " big drunk"
and a journey home. Jayne got three votes
in the K. N. caucus, and has doubtless lear
ned that Simon is too old a fox for him.
Ii is a matter of general remark that if
Cameron is elected the Know-Nothing parly
is annihilated. All honest character will be
blotted from it, and it will never moro he
able to hold together men of principle or
strength. It is humiliating to see men here
who call themselves Democrats, work lo se
cure the election of a Know-Nothing Sena
tor. But unfortunately we have some such
cases belore us.

EDIICAJ'pfIkL CONVENTION,
A number of teachers and directors met
at tha courtly use, in Bloomsburg, on Sat
urday afternoon, February 17th, and, afier
some interchange of sentiment, organized by
appointing R. W. WEAVER President, and
Samuel Knorr Secretary, of the meeting.
Mr. WesMtaddressed the meeting upon
the condjiiorpbt Schools in. the county, and
urged the advantages which would result
from the formation of a Teacher's Associa
tion.
Afier some further expression of sentiment
from Messrs. Freeze and Burgess, the fol
owing resolutions were adopted unani
mously :
Resolved, That this meeting is convinced
of the advantages which would result from
the thorough organization of a Teacher's
Association for our mutual improvement.
Resolved, That a committee of three be ap
pointed to invite the teachers, directors and
friends of education in this county to meet
at the Court-house in Bloomsburg on Satur-'
day the 10th day of March next, for the put
pose ol thoroughly organizing a Teacher's
Association ol Columbia County.
Resolved, That for the present R. W. J
Weaver be President and Samuel Everef
and Townsend Kahler Secretaries of the As
sociation.
Resolved, That committees of one on each
of the following subjects be chosen—l. The
art of teaching—2. Mathematics—t. Gram
mar—4. Geography, tb report at the next'
meeting of the Association, and also a simi
lar committee to procure some suitable per
son to deliver a lecture at our next meeting.
Win. Burgess, Jno. G. Freeze and Abia
John were appointed the Committee under
the sedbnd resolfftiou.
The following were the Committee chosen
under the fourth resolution :
To procure lecturer —R. W. Weaver.
On the art of teaching —William Burgess.
On Mathematics —Wm. Kahler.
On Grammar —John Stokes.
Geography —Abia John.
Afier some appropriate remarks from Mr.
Burgess to enrourage a fraternal and harmo
nious spirit among teachers, on motion the
convention adjourned.
REMABKA. The meeting was not so large
as it should have been if the teachers of the
county had consulted their true interests
But every member of it seemed to have the
true cause of education at heßrt, arid was
earnest, honest and zealous for the work of
improvement. In other counties Teacher's
Institutes have beer*, productive of much
good to the teachers directly and to the
scholars indirectly. Directors should do all
in their power to encourage and aid the im
provement of teachers, and their counte
nance and assistance at these meetings is de
eirablo. Directors should be nten of some
public spirit and liberal intelligence to help
a work that is so much in need of assistance
as the improvement of Common Schools.—
It is to be hoped that the meeting on the
lOih of March will be large ; and that every
teacher in the County will feel himself per
emratty interested
Public Schools In BtoomsLurg.
Last week we visited the schools of Bloom
district, and they are certainly improvements
upon every thing of the common school
kind that the children of the district have
heretofore enjoyed. The Upper Grade School
is competent to furnish a good and thorough
English Education in every branch of study,
and the teaching in nil the schools is such as
fills every reasonable want of the taxpayers.
Even in one where we lound no scholars
older than about twelve years,—kept from
necessity in what was one* a wagon-maker
shop,—there were scholars in advance of
quite a number of those teachers who have
heretofore had charge of schools in tome
districts of Ibis county. And what was still
more gratifying, they were taught in a famil
iar and amjable manner that pleased as much
as it profited them with their iessor.s, and re
fined their manners and morals as much as
it instructed tieir intellect.
In several othe/s we were treated to ex
ercises in vocal music, which we are pleas
ed to find introduced in the schools to enli
ven and lighten heavier studies, and secur
ing both mental and physical improvement.
The present Board of Directors ha? done
much in a year, nnd is certainly the most ef
ficient one the people have bad in the dis
trict. Indiscretions in past years have un
fortunately embarrassed the finances of the
dls.Vict; but, except for this, every thing
looki bright for die future, and the direction
of the rchcols ■" upward and onward.
Extract from Hid Circular
Of the Twenty-eight Secederi from the Know-
Nothing Caucus, to their Constituents.
The inquiry arise*, who is Simon Camer
on ? As a Statesman, fame has never asso
ciated his name with the world. As a poli
tician, he haa always professed lo be a Dem
ocrat, and yet that parly only remembers
him because of his treachery, and apeaka of
bim as a traitor. As a Whig, it is his boast
(hat he never voted the Whig ticket in bis
life—that parly being eaved from such die
grace. Aa an Amerioan and an Anti-Slavery
man let the record speak for itself.
When has he changed his opinions upon
these questional When, or where, haa he
disowned them I And even if there be any
recent recantation got up for the present
emergency, there is not character enough in
the man to oppose upon credulity iteolf.
But do net the people of Pennsylvania
expect aomething more of the present Legis
lature than the election of "an old political
hack ?" The great political revolution that
brought the A merman party into power, has
no parallel in the history of Pennsylvania.—
The old parly organizations were dissolved
by an unaeen power, and old politicians,
with all their schemes, left floundering or
wrecked with the elements that supported
them, absorded by the mysterious power of
an orgenizaiion beyond their control. This
great revolution is not without it* lesson.—
The old parties, with their leading politi
cians, were corrupt; and it wee their signs)
destruction the people sought when they put
their power into the new organization. They
determined to rebuke corruption. They did
rebuke corruption, and the party in power
standi a* a monument of that rebuke.
Shall the American party then in the face
of all its professions und actions, be now
made the dishonored instrument in eleva
ting SIMON CAMERON to the highest office in
its gift? and thus hold him up to the world
as the exponent, embodiment, and personifi
cation of Americanism? We l/ust not. We
consider hint a fit representative of nothing
good; and a fir exponent of no honorable
principle. As Penneylvanians, we remem
ber that our Slate motto, as adopted by our
i ancestors of seventy-aix, is " VIRTUE, LIBER
TV, AND INDEPENDENCE." Wo reverence
this glorious old motto ; and bear in mind
that we but recently swore as representa
tives, to perform our duties as such, with ft-
DILITT; fidelity to our constituents, fidelity
to our native State, nnd fidelity to the enno
bling prinoiple engraven on our State escut
cheon. Shall we then, or can wo consis
tently with the oaths wa have taken, sup
port a nomination so destitute of every ele
ment of virtue, which would disgrace the
American Organization and our native State;
and which we feil well assured, our consti
tuents will repudiate with scorr. and righte
ous indignation. We recognize no power
in any caucus, to require .us thus to sacrifice
our integrity to throw away our self-respect,
or to violate our oaths; and therefore it is,
that in the independence of fieemati, we
strike down king caucus at the bidding of
oar country.
Above our venerated motto, and associa
ted with it in all the memories of the past,
and our hopes of the futv re, is the American
eagle—our national emblem, and our coun
try's prido. It ever adorns our starrj flag;
and it spreads its " wings of glory over us"
as a protecting angle. When we go into the
Hall of the House of Representative, to exe
cute the most important trust confided lo us,
we desire lo meet somothing there having
'somo anologv or concordance with these
glorious recollections, and theso sacred em
blems. firant ua this, or something approxi
mating to this, and all will be well; and
our hearts and our hands will be wiih you,
both to do and to dare. But what we cay
unto one we say unto all, invite us not in
there to partake of a buzzard's feast. Ask
us not to support a nomination brought
about, ae we believe, by the concentrated
and " cohesive power of public plunder,"
and the superadded element of shameless
and wholesale private bribery. All counte
nance and participation in auch things as
these, we not only most earnestly and per
emptorily decline, but have pledged our
selves unitedly and determinedly to op
pose.
Such is a brief and hasty, outline of our
action and our intended fu'ure course. VVe
submit it to our constituents, confident of a
triumphant vindication, and we cordially in
vite all out honest fellow representatives,
whether in the late caucus or not, to rally
with us in this contest, and to make common
cause with us for the honor and the glory of
our native Stat?, assuring them that though
it may have an adage that "Pa
ris is France," set fiarrlsburg Is not Pennsyl
vania.

Up to the latest advices, no now Cabinet
bad been constructed. Lord Derby had
beer, invited to "form a new Ministry, but
had been unsuccessfully in bis efforts.
Lord Palmorston, Lord John Russell. Lord
Lansdowne and Lord Clarendon, are all spo
ken of for the new Ministry, and the anxiety
on the subject is very great.
A/fairs in the Crimea remain the same aa
before. No fighting of importance has ta

the condition pf the troops much impro

Tne Germanic relations are as complica

ly springing op.
Prussia has gained a triumph over Austria,

ENGLAND.
The past week has been one of great anx
iety in England. On the morning of the 30th
ult. the consideration of Mr. Rodrick'a mo
tion of a want of confidence in the cabinet,
was resumed in the House of Commons.—
The resolution was for the appointment of a
Select Committee to inquire into the condi
tion of the army before Sebastopol, and into
the conduct of the Departments of the GOT
eminent wh'ose duty it has been to adminis
ter to the wonts offthe army.
Messrs Stafford ami D'lsraeli spoke, when
the House divided, * 305 voting for the mo
tion and 148 againit it—showing a inaj-rity
of 157 against the Government.
After this vote lite whole ministry resign
ed, ifwhen their resignnlioi.it were accepted,
and the Aberdeen Ministry were only to re
tain their officers until a new cabinet could
be formed.
On the evening of the 30tb, the Qoeon
sent for the Karl of Derby, the leader cf the
Conservatives. On Wednesday the Earl of
Derby waited on the Queen, end an inter
view of two hours ensued. After thie lite
Karl drove to tho residence of Lord Palmer
ton, when a lengthened conference took
place.
The general tumor waa that Lord Palmnr
ston would r.ot assent to the term* proposed,
and consequently the Carl was made to form
a sufficiently strong Cabinet. Various ru
mors followed pointing to Lor J Palmer-don,
