FON CANAI. COMMISSIONER, HON. ARNOLD PLUMER, , OK VENANGO COUNTV, DEMOCRATIC COUNTY CONVENTION. I N accordance with the rulo of the Dcmn cratic parly, the Democratic votcra of the several election districts of Columbia county will meet at their respective place- of holding the general election, on SATURDAY the 25th dav of August next, between tho hours of 3 and 7 o'clock in the afternoon to choose two delegates from each township, to meet in County Convention at the Court House in jlloom9burg on MONDAY, tho 271h duy of August next, at \ o'clock, P. M., for tho pur jiose of making the annual nominations of the Democratic party. The Democrats of the several townships aro enjoined to strict vigilance that none Lit*. D cm orrats participate in these elections, and the success and integrity ot tho party impci alivcly requires that Know-Nothings cannot and shall not have a voice either as voters, oilicers or delegates in the formation of a ticket which they would not supp irt whon formed, unless by some unfoitunalo accident some of their w kind should be on it. 'I ho Dctaociatic party aocards to these men the same right which it clnims for itself to support men of their own principles; but they must do it in xlieir own household, and not attempt to force (hem on the people under the name of Dem ocrats. Although it inay te difficult in all cases to know who belong to the Secret Order, tbe precedent of the Democratic Stale Uuu venlioii seems to bo the only safo one —Ihat the lice must he judge J hy its fruit, and that those men who year uficr year openly and no torious!} oppose Democratic nominaiions and support Whig and Know-Nolliing candidates ure not Democrats, and can have no just or honorable claim to control or direct tho policy of a parly which they have refused to support and vainly attempted to destroy. JOHN 8 STEIINXH. I JACOB D. h'uxi.-, JOHN H. DEWITT, | HENRY Mm, ISAIAH JOHN, | Standing Committee. Iho Count |r Convention. The delegate elections will take place next Saturday, and the convention will be held on Monday following. It seems to be generally understood tbat Know-Nothings can have no part or lot in these proceedings; and all hon or and manliness would require that tliey should njjf attempt to yifiuence the action ol Democratic meetings. As to who are Know- Nothings, the Slate Convention lias set ;he only safe test—those who vote, act and coun sel with a party are to be regarded'as its members ; and this is the test which the old pariies have always acted upon. The new parly of secret oaths and conspiracies is an organization by itself, having its prototype in the conspiracies of the degenerate Romans under Cat-aline, and the Jacobin Clubsof Ma rat and Dariton in tbe Reign of Terror in France. In its own way and by itself it may do its work; but the Democratic parly must preserve its purity if it would sustaiu its ex istence. As to the candidates to be nominated-tliese should be roeti fit by intelligence and busi ness experience ; sober and respectable men, neither so rich as to be lazy or insolent, nor so embarrassed in their own affairs us to be exposed to tho temptations of error. They should be men who have shown true attach ment to the cause of the people, and who have been honest and consistent in their pol itics as well as in personal principles. Wo know there are such rneudn the Democratic parly,and for the honor and success of the par ty these men ought to be chosen. Such men will do oredit to the parly, both as candi dates and us officers. I.ET ir BE UNDERSTOOD That the political profligates who have re peatedly heretofore opposed the Democratic ticket cannot claim to participate next Sat urday in the choice of delegates. Men who have heretofore voted with Whigs and Know- Nothings cannot claim to be Democrats. Ttie tree can only be judged by its fruit. Thoso who have not Telf bound by the action oi Democratic conventions heretofore cannot have any concern with them now, at least not until they give signs of full repeulance. Newspaper Change, Cspt. Jacob Zeigler has disposed of the Harrisburg "Democratic Union" to Andrnw Hopkins, Esq., of the " l'atriot," by whom both papers will be blended' into one, and published under the title of the Union and Patriot.

We wish Mr. Hopkins abundant success in the undertaking and for the retiring editor, Capt. Zeigler, we invoke long life and prosperity.

The contemptible libeller who lately at tempted to speculate on the religious feelings of hottest men in the Democrat, cannot deny but admits that our defence of last week was true in facts, but answers tbat the deacon was justified by telling the whole truth. In other words—that to poison an honest man's mind against his neighbor to his injury iu business it is justifiable to drag in religion and the church, and abuse him for not on every oc casion paying to every church. Why a pa gan Hottentot would feci disgraced by such a code of morality. But if tho two subject" con Id have anrcon nection it was the deacon's crii'je that he did not tell the "whole truth" to Mr. Bitlenbender. That which could injure tis neighbor be told in a cowardly back'oif.ng manner, as soon as his neighbor's bucV was turned, while tho repeated favors We had done wore never once alluded to. Tl;e charge was general ihYl we had refused to give "anything," and was not defined or qualified as to any timeo r occasion. It was understood by Mr. Bittenbeuder us charging a general and unqualified refusal to give "any tiling," as tho answer of that gen llemsu showed ; and the deacon was respon sible for the false sense in whioh the impula 'uon was received when lie saw that it poi soned a man's mind who intended to do us a friendly favor and was then glad he had nut done It. The deacon saw the sense in which alone die words could and And been received, and maliciously withheld the "whole truth" that the slander should work its festering wrong. As to the money borrowed—the deacon obtained it w lien we paid our subscription by saying that ho wanted it for the clergy man's use | and the fact was so expressed on the memorandum given for its payment and signed by tbe two descons.the other of whom would never have whispered a word upon the subject, and has a sense of the proprie ties and decencies of life, which he would scorn to violate. The one who asked us for tho money added that in a short time he could collect enough on his subscription book to repay this sum. Besides lie confessed only last week that it bad been for Mr. Shar retls' use; and if the deacon decived us to obtain it, it only adds another to his-false hoods and injuries. But it is conclusive on this subject that tbe other gentleman who signed the note can tostify that the money was for the use of Mr. Sharretts. No person who knows us and the political deacon, will for a moment believe tbat we would ever have loaTted a dollar to him for his use, or that we would have denied any possible fa vor to Mr. Sharretts, whom we have always treated with uniform kindness and respect lint the man who would use his position and connection in the church to injure bis neigh bor would not hesitate at any meanness, not even to borrow money for himself on the credit of the churcli; and the creature who would try to iiiuke public political merchan dize of men's leligious feelings, deserves the scorn aud contempt of every decent man in the community. Unfortunately for human naturo there are In 6ome communities men who have no sense of tho common proprieties and decencies of life, and no moral sensibility or self respect — creatures cf such depraved mind that nothing public or private is saored from their pollu tion. Tliey live only by making,the brutal ity and importunity of their nature a scourge to the quiet citizen, until men fear them as much as thev hale. Religion aud the trans aotions of men's every day life are desecra ted with a spirit as unsanclified as that in which the resurrectionists would steal the bones of the dead from the church-yard at midnight. Kick these men from one outrag ed community and they instantly crawl- out to day-light in some other. In a public print before us wo observe (he account of an unfortunate man who bccamd the evil genius and terror of his neighbor hood in one of the lower counties—sleeping in the woods ar.d barns—robing hen roosts, milk-houses and barns, and stealing every thing. But he never defiled religion, nor violated the sanctity of private character.— And yet even Ac was the other week sent to the penitentiary for seventeen years. The 1 moral sense of honest men has the only scourge for villians of a deeper dye.

The several Boards ol School Directors are requested to inform me at what time and place this tall it will best suit their conveni ence to have the examinations of teachers take place for their district, and appoint ments will be mado accordingly. It is desi rable and important that the examinations should be conducted publicly in die presence of the Board of Directors who are to employ the teachers, as that will afford Directors the best oppoitunity to judge of the fitneßs of each applicant. In no case are teachers to be employed before tbuy have a certificate, upon the promise to cbtair. one. It is taken for granted by the School Department that Teachers have embraced every opportunity of improvement during liie past year; and the examinations are to be more thorough and doubled than at first. The grade of pro ficiency in the different studies will bo indi cated on each, teacher's certificate, ami it is highly important to the prosperity and suc cess of the system—to the encouragement of good teachers—and as an inducement for the future improvement of all teachers that Di rectors should establish a murked grade in the wages of teachers. A number of good teachers have heretofore received too little pay, and deficient ones have received too much. At the close of each examination in the districts a lecture will be delivered, and all are invited to attend. Before the school* open for the term, tie Direelurs in each district should meet and adopt a uniform aeries of text books for the use of the schools, where this has not already bocn done. When the schools open the most important subject for the Directors to urge is the regular attendance of each schol ar. The monthly reports of the teachers should be tiled with the Secretary of the re spective Board, and open at all times to the inspection of every citizen, so that he may know how regularly his children attend school, and with what success and prospect oi improvement. The attention of parents should be invited to these reports, and also to frequent personal visitations of the school. My own visits to the schools will be as soon in turn after I lie examinations us I shall learn that tho schools of any diattict are opeu. K. W. WEAVER, County Superintendent. AH Aendctny. There is no reason why a good Academy or Seminary could not be established in Bloomsburg. A great amount of money is overy year carried out of the county which could be retained at home, and many chil dren are sent abroad for an education who could receive quite as good an one under the eyes of their parents, and with more safety to the moral control of the scholar. But if tho matter is undertaken it must be in a eelf-sacritioing spirit, and not for specu- I lalion to" sell lots," i'get a job" or "make I money" ir. any way. There must be no strife (or private or personal interest,and yet it must pe a private enterprise.

SCIIUVLKILL —The Schuylkill county Con vention met in that county on Monday last, pursuant to the usual call, for the purpose of nominating candidates foi the ensuing elec tion.

K. M. Kepuet.— "At the head of the county ticket stands the namq, of Col. C. M. Straub, an old tax that has lent a hand in the stormiest suae, and in the darkest hours that have met our cause. To him is entrusted the helm ill this, the most dangerous straight, through which the gallunl ship has passed for years; and seeing his white locks streaming in the wind, his keen eyo taking in every danger of the chan nel, and hie strong arm swaying the helm, no doubt or fear is felt." Ex-fiovi:RNOR HUNT of New York applied to by some of the Whig friends to join the proposed lusion of the Whig party with the Abolition'party, to form n Northern sectional party, declines doing so, on the gtound that such a parly can do no political good to the country, nor advance the interests of liberty, and civilization ; but may be the means of exasperating one part of the nation Sgaiitel the other, and so destroy the Federal com pact established by Washington and biecom patriots. A majority of the poople on both sides of the Potomac he believes desire do mestic peace und tranquility, and these ob jects are far more important, in Mr. Hunt's opinion,than any advantage which the fusion promises in exchange for them. He prefers to remain standing on the old principles ol the Whig party, even if left standing stone.

Resolved, That we will adhere, with un shaken fidelity, to the Democratic organiza tion ; and that as ,the country is indebted to the Democratic party for its past success and progress, so we have undiminished confi dence in its efficacy to achieve all necessary reforms for its future government. Resolved, That we regard religious intoler ance and secret political associations as at least a century behind the age in which we livo,anti-democratic and anti-republican, and directly at war with the time-honored princi ples of the democratic parly; and that we hereby declare our decided and everlasting opposition to that socalled " American " par ty, (commonly known as lite know nothings) and that we, the Representatives of the de mocracy of Montourcounty,(acounty always true to the democratic cause,) are prepared to take no step backwards.

It affords me pleasure hereby to pledge myself to the State Ceulral Committee, that 1 am noi at the present time, nor have 1 been at any time, cotiuecied witb auy secret polit ical organization or association—nor will I be come connected with any such association or organization at any time prior to the elec tion, oor if elected during nty continuance iu office. This pledge is given in the language of the resolution of the State Convention, and in the form prescribed by the State Central Com mittee ; but I desire farther to state to that Committee, and through them to the voters of the Commonwealth, that 1 reject in the most unqualified terms the doctrines of tho Know-Nothing party, so far as they have not been taken from, and do not conform to, the avowed principles of the Democratic parly, they being otherwise anti-Republican and unlirAmericau. As a citizen of the United States, us a Pennsylvania!), professing to be governed by the Constitution of my country, and liberal Christian principles, 1 could not subscribe aud solemnly take tho requir ed of mo upon assuming the office of Canal Commissioner, "to support tho Constitution of Pennsylvania and the Constitution of tho Unsted Slates," if 1 had taken an oath or other obligation binding mysell to reject the claims of any Atnorican citizen for office, on account of his religious belief or the place of his birth, such tests being expressly for bidden by both of those sacred instruments. l'rom tho principles involved in the ap proaching election, 1 deem it the most impor tant which the Democracy have been called upon to participate in lor many years. To be the chosen standard bearer of the parly in such a contest, is a high honor, for which I shall over be grateful. Truly, yours, ARNOLD PLUMER. To JAS. P.

BturottD, PA., August 10.—The application ol Passmore Williamson for a writ of habeas corpus, came up to-day before the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania, and was argued by the Hon.

The Court, finally, without coming to a decision with reference to the application, adjourned to moot at Sunbury on the first Monday in Oc tober next- Itesult of ibe Klectious- The recent elections in the South have re sulted inost gloriously for the Democracy.— The noblo example sot by old Virginia, the glorious "mother of Slates and of Statesmen," has been followed by other free common wealths, and a death-blow has been struck at the party of bigotry and intolerance. NORTH CAROLINA. —The 'Old North State,' which for many years occupied a front rank in the column of Whig Slates, has declared for the Democracy by an overwhelming ma jority. Six of the eight members elected to Congress aro Democrats, the Legislature is Democratie, and the Democratic popular ma jority is not far from Ten Thousand. TENNESSEE. —Tennessee, in whoso bosom repose the remains of the immortal Jacksou, has been carried by the Democracy ! When it is rememembernd that she is one of the two Southern Slates that adhered to Scott and Whiggery in 1852, tho triumph of thf Dera- I ocralic party may well excite surprise. In this victory of (lie Democracy the Know No things may read their approaching doom.— Johnson, our candidate for Governor, is elec ted by 1500 to 2000 majority anil it is belie ved we have carried the Legislature and a majority of the Congressmen. ALABAMA. —The Know Nothings tried to raise a shout over the earliest returns from this Slate, but it died away on their lips. Not withstanding the defection of Clemens and others whom the Democracy warmed into life the State of William R. King has remained true to her ancient faith. Full returns have have not been received, but the indications are that the Democratic candidate for Gover-1 nor is elected by a latge majority, that tbe the Legislature is largely Democratic, and that the delegation to the next Congress will stand six Democrats to one Kuow Noth itrg. KENTUCKY.— We rejoice to say that the City which gave birth to Matthow Ward, and the State which acquitted him ofmurdor,have gone for the Know Nothings. They have carried Louisville by IGOO and Kentucky by 10,000. They carried Louisville in real Matt. Ward style, making free uso of bowie knives and revolviug pistols. Only about two-thirds the vote of the city was polled, the Know Nothing bullies having prevented a large number of the citizens opposed to them from depositing their votes. It is worthy of remark that tiie only newspaper in the city which apologized for Matt. Ward after his murder of Butler, is now the Know Nothing organ.

Among theso, the no blo science of Medicine has made great pro gress. I'fofessor HOLLOWAY has discovered and prepared a remedy tor the diseases of man in whatever climo destiny may have given him biflh. We have, in a former ar ticle, introduced to our readers this distin guished phthician, whose reputation is al ready engrafted in the world's history. As a physician, he has copied Nature, and among physicians he stands the acknowledged Em peror. Both in tho sale ol his medicines, and in the number of patients that have ta ken them, he is unrivallod. Professor Hol loway has labored to supply the human farjn ily with a permanent remedy for their dieea es, to which the afflicted may have recourse with a ( moral certainty that they will be cur ed. There is no disease to which they will not afford relief. His I'ills and Ointment, prepared from selections from the vegetable kingdom, wiih great care, will drive disease out of thessystem.

In uniting in this general recommendation of the romarkable virtues of Holloway's rem edies we only perform a Christian duty, which the press should never neglect. Those who are eminent for the good they do in tho world, have a just claim upon the press for aid in extending the good to the extent of their power.
