TUB COUNTY CAMPAIGN.
It is well for the Democrats of this county
to consider the means which the opposition
are taking in this region to gain a point of
auccess. It is well known that in Columbia
the opposition cannot defeat the whole
Democratic county ticket, and they there
fore concentrate their efforts on some par
ticular point—against somo man on the
Democratic ticket who is more especially
dangerous to Ihe factions of Know-Nothing
ism and Republicans. To this end they
look around to see against what man on lite
ticket they can seduce the most of those
few camp-followers in the Democratic party
who are guided only by narrow-minded
prejudices, by disappointed malice, by re
venge, spite or mercenary greed. They
tickle the mercenary by promises, and ex
-cite tho malicious by falsely coloring ima
ginary grievances. To the disappointed
they promise offices—to the greedy they
offer better pay—and to the epirit of rest
less ambition they paint the possession of
influence and promotion, even if it should
be upon the defeat of the Democratic parly.
True, he who sells himself to this tempter
•will get but a poor price for his treason;
but that is not considered by him now.
The Democrats of this county can elect
their whole ticket as well as any part of it;
and they have conquered this mischievous
spirit of malico and petty revenge in the
darkest days of Know-Nothingism. They
did it a second time last fall, and they will
do it again. Tho men on our county ticket
ere good and true as Democrats, and honost
and respectable as citizens. Theyxire ca
pable and fit for their several stations, and
ail possess that integrity and fair moral
character which commends mon to the con
fidence and support of the community.
Thera is no reasonable or fair ground of
opposition fa any one of them, and there
will be none front any Democrat unless
from some three penny private spite, or dis
appointed malice.
The mass of the people will treAt this
narrow, jealous spirit with the conloiTtpt
and rebuke it deserves; and it will only
prove to the moderate men of the opposi
tion that our candidates are of straight
forward integrity and without guile.
It only needs a firm front to elect the
whole ticket by an even majority. Those
who oppose any part of it from motives ol
mischief and private grief will only destroy
themselves aad'friends —they cannot harm
the Democratic party by leaving it.
Meeting at Sereno.
A Democratic meeting was held last Sal-1
urelay afternoon al Sereno in this county at
which Sloe's Danville Brass Band was pres- I
ent, and enlivened the occasion with excel
lent music. That staunch Democrat, JACOB
EVANS of Greenwood, was called to preside
at the meeting, which was addressed by Col.
Tale and Col. Freeze.

* The Wllaiot Proviso.
While IVilmol,Seward end Greely ere con
vulsing the wwwy with their lamentations
for the Mleeouri Compromise, the people will
remember that in 1820 every vote against
that Compromise in the U. S. Senate was
from North of Mason & Dixon's line. The
first attempt to distnrb the principle of tbfct
Compromise was in 1846 by the Wilmot pro
viso, which proposed to prohibit slavery in
all the territory to be acquired from Mexico,
while in the Missoaii Compromise it might
be tolerated by the people south of 86° 30'.
This attempt to disturb the old settlement of
the troublesome slavery question was doubly
mischievous in being nffarul - -rwomi
mem to an appropriation bill designed to se
cure a treaty of peace, and before we had yet
obtained one fool of territory to which it could
apply.
The Democratic party through Polk, Doug
las and Buchanan proposed to settle the sla
very question on one side of the Rocky
Mountains as it had been settled on the other
—to extend the Missouri Compromise line
to the Pacific. To this the leaders ol the
present Republican parly would not assent,
and Ihey renewed the agitation. In 1848 Mr.
Polk in his last message to Congress urged
that territorial governments be established
in Utnh and New Mexico, and that the Mis
souri Compromise lint, be extended to the
Pacific. The Democrats tried to do this,and
the Abolitionists and Whigs prevented it.—
When Ihe one effort to extend that line, and
the other to prohibit slavery had failed on
ly two tilings remained in be proposed.
The one was to establish or legali/e slavery,
and this was not at'empted hy any party. The
other waa what Mr. Clay from the Commit
tee of Thirteen in 18S0 proposed in the U. S.
Sera'e—to lenve this subject to the people of
the several territories. The Kansas-Nebraska
bill of 1854 only reiterated lite principles of
the Declaration of Independence of ITT6 for
the right of self government by the people.
Municipal Legislation for the territories by
Congress would be just like the legislation of
Ihe British Parllnraeut in 1776 for Ihe Amer
ican colonies, and the principle of self-gov
ernment is the very basis of our republican
institutions.
Agricultural Fair.
At a mealing of the Executive Committee
of the Columbia Co. Agricultural and Horti
cultural Society held Saturday evening, Sept.
13th 1856, the following preamble and reso
lution were adopted:
W hereas, The Pennsylvania State ml Mon
tour Co. Fairs will be held at a time that
will prove a conflict to the interests of the
Columbia Co. Fair; therefore
Resolved, That the time for holding the Co
lumbia Co. Agricultural and Horticultural
Fair be changed from the Bih and of Oc
tober to the 22d and 23d of October.
NEW BOOK av MRS. LEE HETZ —Mr. T. B.
Peterson, the Philadelphia publisher will on
the 27th inst. have ready for delivery a new
novel by Mrs. Lee Hentz to be called "THE
BANISHED SOB; OBSTOIIIESOF THE HEART"
The authoress is known for her many pleas
ant and healthy toned works, and everything
ftom her pen will be read with interest by
the American people who appreciate genius.
The work will be complete in one large duo
decimo volume, neatly bound in cloth for
51,25, or in two volumes paper cover for sl.
Copies will be sent by mail, free of postage,
upon receipt of the price.
PANORAMA OF PILGRIM'S PROGRESS.—In an
other column will be found an announcement
lor an exhibition at the Court House in which
the young people will be especially interest
ed. The painting is said to be a good one,
and the subject is ope which will have a
healthy tendency on the young when tllus
traed as it is proposed tc be. Men of reli
gious and artistic character have recom
mended the exhibition, and a good turnout
may be anticipated.
NOMINATIONS.—The Congressional Confer
ees will meet at IVilkesbarre on to-morrow.
Mr. Montgomery will be nominated.
The Senatorial Conferees will meet at Ber
wick on next Friday. The Democratic con
vention of Luzerne met yesterday; and
though we have no intelligence from that
body at this lime, George P. Steele, we sup
pose, received the nomination for Senatoi.
This county and Montour will concur in any
reasonable choice made by Luzerne.
UV On last Saturday afternoon the several
Isms who hale Democracy more than each
other, met by their representatives in tire
flourt House of this place to select Con
gressional, Senatorial, and Representative
Conferees from this county. So the "dear
people" can find the Republican leaders ly
ing down with the Know-Notbir.gs in friend
ly embrace, and willing to make any sacri
fice or sale to gain vP'es. It is the old game
of "stooping to conquer."
VT The French Emperor's illness is said
to be a softening of the spinal marrow, pro
ducing at limes a loss of his mental facul
ties and the indulgence of the most extrava
gant hallucinations. The mental and bodily
exertions which he has made during the
past few years are said to be the cause of
, the recent aggravatiou of his old ailment.
CHANGE.—E. B. CHASE, heretofore of the
Monlrote Democrat , has purchased and united
the two papers at Scran toil under the name
of the Hercu'd of the Union, and will do good
servioe for Buchanan. We hope he will find
hia new borne pleasant, *nd his labor profit
able.

Hum Law*-
The Pseudo Republicans an trying to raife
a tremendous fun over the enactment* of the
Kansas Legislature. That Assembly, in or
der to do a great deal of legislation in a short
time, adopted such lams in.'tb* Statute Books
of Missouri as were adapted to the Territo
rial condition of Kansas. Most of the Legis
lators being in favor of making KsDsas a
Slave Slate, and believing that thej had the
tight to pass laws on the subject of slavery,
enacted twn or three statutes in regard la
slave properly, and lor its protection.
These laws have always been regretted
even by judicious and conservative edoaaieS
ot slavery in Kansas. Ther were adopted
in the heat of partizanship by excited bor
derers. Meetings, held even in Missouri,
I have not hesitated to express condemnation
of these statutes. The President of the Uni
ted Slates, although it is not in general,
proper for him to express any opinion in re
gard to laws of mere local territorial concern,
yet has taaen occasion in a message to
Congress to intimate respectfully that these
laws were ill advised. They have been
publicly denounced by leading Democrats
in both Houses of Congress. Democratic
Statesmen and Legislators like Lewis Cata,
Stephen A. Douglass, Daniel S. Dickinson,
Horatio Seymour, James L. Orr, and James
M. Mason have openly condemned these
particular enactments. The Democratic Sen
ate twice passed a bill for a fair adjustment
of the Kansas difficulties, in which, by an
unusual and perhaps somewhat extreme set 1
of sovereignly, yet for the sake of .'concilia
tion and peace, these Kansas Laws were re
pealed. The Democrats of the House stood
ready 10 vote fur these bills. The Demo
cratic Press and Parly throughout the whole
country applauded these bills and urged their
passage.
And ti6w, in the face of all these Demo
cratic propositions to repeal the Kansas Jaws
—and in the face of all their hitter denuncia
tions of those laws—how did those Black
Republicans act ? They professed such de
testation of these laws, that they counselled
armed resistance to them—did they jump ai
the chance of doing them away by peacefnl
legislation? Just the reverse of this? The
'•Republican" members of the House refused
contemptuously even to consider th* Senate
bills.! Democrats urged them on the House's
consideration —bol again and again the Free
Soil majority kept them on lite table! The
presses, and speakers, and meetings of the
Black Republicans, all over the North and
the West, opened out in full cry upon the
Bills of the Senate, although these bills were
fairness i'.self, yet the Black Rupublican
party, professing such concern about the
troubles in Kansas, and such opposition to its
slave laws, vociferously rejected propositions,
which, if accepted, would have done away
the laws that are obnoxious, and have given
peaco, quiet, and comparative harmony to
the distracted Territory.
Now, from the self-stultify ing, and factious
conduct of the Black Republicans what is
the necessary inference ? Why, that they
wish these Kansas Laws to exist, in full, for the
present, and wish these Kansas troubles to con
tinue longer. They want to use them us
electioneering instruments. They want to
elect Fremont, and gel themselves into
power, and fill their pockets with coveted
emoluments of Federal office, by means of
the shameful civic discords &id outrages in
Kanssas!
The people of the United States have the
intelligence to comprehend the designs and
arts of these canting, hypocritical tricksters.
We use no baited words—for these Free
soil leaders are deliberately using the terri
ble, and fearful troubles of Kansas with evil,
and pitiless callousness and mendacity, as
political appliances. They talk of humanity
—politicians who deliberately perpetuate
war, bloodshed and death, that they may
ride in'o office on the whirlwinds of an ex
aggerated excitement I They claim special
sanctity —these Cutalines, who deliberately
rock the Union to its base, that they may
vault into its highest places.— Phila. Argus.
New tUodo or manufacturing iron and
steel.
The London Times speaks of the interest
excited among the iron manufacturers by the
discovery of Mr. Beassemcr, by which he
takes crude iron directly from the ordinary
blast furnace, and in the incredibly short
space of thirty minutes converts it into ignots
of malleable iron or steel of any size, and fit
for the various manipulations ordinarily em
ployed to adapt them to all the material pur
poses to which they are now applied. He
thus dispenses with all the intermediate pro
cessess to which recourse has been had to
produce the same effect within (he last sev
enty years, including the making iron into
pigs, and the refining, puddling, and squee
zing mages, with all the attendant labor and
fuel. Atmospheric air ia the prime element
in providing this reantl. The carbon ol the
crude iron, at a white heat, is brought in
contact with atmospherio air, and the oxy
gen of the air combining with the carbon,
rapidly produces carbonic actd gas. The
rapid union ol carbon and oxygen adds still
farther to the temperature of the metal,
while the diminished quantity of carbon pres
ent allows a part of the oxygen to combine
with the iron, which undergoes combustion
and is converted into an oxide. At the ex
cessive temperature that the metal baa now
acquired, the oxide as soon as formed, un
dergoes fusion, and forma a powerful sol
vent of Ihoae earthy bases that are associa
ted with the iron. The violent ebullition
going on mixes most intimately tbe scoria
and metal, every part of which ia thus
brought in oonlacl with tbe fluid oxide,
which washes and cleanses the metal most
thoroughly from the silica and other earthy
buses that ate combined with Ibe crude iron,
white the sulphur and other volatile mailers
which cling so tenaoioosly to iron at ordi
nary temperatures are driven off, the sulphur
combining with the oxygen and forming
sulphurous acid gas. Kxperiments have been
conducted before iron master* and men of
science in London, anil they pronounced it
eminently satisfactory, and a discovery of
great importance.
! All (he "Learning and lntelllg|pce."
"The learned and intelligent of our com
munity are found on the side of Fremont and
Dayton. The pulpit eeode up ile p-ayere for
the triumph of Freedom's holy cause aud
thunders forth its condemnation of pto-sla
veryism. We believe that tboosand end

the election of John C. Fremont, asoend dai
ly from every psrt of the land—North and
South. The *chol#rt, authors, poets and
learned men of every department of liters
lore and science are for Fremont.
We extract the above from the Newburg
Highland Anirur. The Black Republicans
will find; nfc practice of turning up their no
: see HrtbiMeberiog class of community, and 1
I extolling and flattering those who happen to
be bleaaed with wealth, and can live at their
ease, without the*dilgirace of Hfbor attaching

always bean the boast of the opponents of
Democracy, that they possessed ell the vir
tue, and it seems from the above they mean
Iby this, that the "scholars, authors, and
learned motf j" of the land, who are with them
possess it all. The common people, in the es
timation of these "freedom stiriekera," have
no virtue, and therefore have no right to
claim fellowship with the "leomcd and intel
ligent who are foond on the side of Fremont
and Dayton." The Democratic parly does
not claim to possess all the learning and in
telligence of the land, nor does i'.a members
despise the laborer, or bow to the millionaire;
they welcome and treat all alike; and it is
the pride of Democracy to rank among its
defenders, men whose hands are browned by
the son, end who "earn their bread by the
sweat of their brow." Such are "the men
who are found on the side of Buchanan and
Breckinridge, and although they may not be
"scholars, authors, poets and learned men,"
the Black Republicans will find that they can
iiot only wort, hot tbey can think and reason,
and few indeed will be found, on election
day, casting their votes for a candidate for
the presidency, who was nominated by a
Convention, in which only sixteen States
were represented ! They nevet will consent
to become parties of this sectional agitation
—the masses are too honest and patriotio to
engage in so dangerous an experiment, what
ever the "scholars, authors, poets, and learn

CF~ A new qualification for the Presiden
cy has been discovered in Col. Fremont, of
more substantial merit, wa think, than the
fact of kia having partaken of roast dog and
mule pie. It has been ascertained that he
if in possession of certain housewifeish ac
complishments wliicn would be of eminent
sarvioe in keeping the White House in a tidy
condition. This interesting discovery was
made by one of the Massachusetts delega
tion, which lately made a visit to the Colonel.
The "Boston Journal," a Fremont paper, thus
describes it:
"In the course of the interview, Mrs. Fre
mont happening to be sitting on the sofa in
the parlor, and the delegates having had an
introduction to her, the question was put, in
course of conversation, by one of them, ir.
a casual manner, 'ls it true, Mrs. Fremont,
that while in California you refused to em
ploy slave labor, preferring to perform your
own domestic labor?' 'Oh, yes,' replied
Mrs. F., 'but my husband ought to have part
of the credit, fot he assisted in sweeping the
rooms.'"
Glorious Colonel, yon ought to bo Presi
dent! True, you know no more about the
affairs of Stale than a green gosling, but then
you would be so handy about the White
House. As an exemplification of Ihe re
publican principles of OUJ Government, what
could be more gratifying to Americans visit
ing the National Mansion than to see their
President sweeping a room, or changing a
diaper?
What Advertising Can Do. —Mr. Bonner,
the projfrietor of the New York Ledger, a
weekly literary paper, issued in New York
city, has run the edition of hie paper op to
one hundred and seventy thousand copies!
a larger number than any other New York
weekly newspaper. The quantity of paper
used weekly for the "New YbVk' Ledger,'' is
three hundred and forty reams, of five hun
dred sheets per/earn. The forms of matter
are duplicated for each number, by eleolro
type, and a large number of presses are kept
constantly at work, night and day, to turn off
its enormous supply. It is said that the pro
prietor has expended $42,000 within the last
year in advertising bis paper, and when we
see how liberally be uses the columns of (be
largest circulated dailies, the above amount
does not appear to be overealimaled. The
result shows what a man may do towards
promoting bis basiness by using the power
of the press judiciously as well as liberally.

Eloquent and Patriotic. —At a late conven
tion of the Whigs in lAaine, ll.e Hon. Geo. j
Evans, long known as one of the strongest,
and most eloquent members of the United
Stales Senate, on the whig side, in the days
when Webster, and Clay, and Chnate be
longed to that body, defined his position in
reference to the Presidential contest. He
said :
"We Itavn no flag of our own flying; if
we have no trumpet to call us Whigs; if,
amid the sntoke and dust ot. the strife and
conflict of otner parties, I can see the flag ol
the Union flying anywhere; if, arnid the
noive and din of arms, I can hear the rally, I
shall not stop to inquire who leads the forces
that protect it."
THE GREAT IDEA —"Well, Johnny, who
do you go for, for President?" "Why, Bill,
to tell the truth, I can't hardly say. Fre
mont is 100 woolly, they say, and goes for
niggers votin'; now you see Ike and me
belong to the 'Mericans, and we think run
away niggers no more 'titled to vote than
imported furrinners, and Ike and me are
agin niggers being naturalized as well as
Englishmen. I tell you what I hate fur
riners—Dad give me a all-fired lioken' yis
terday furcallin' him an Englishman, hut 1
didn't care so much 'tfout the hurt as I did
'bout bein' licked by a lurriner. By hokoy,
I tell you what, that made nie mad—it did
Bill, 1 tell you."

Upon her Saviours breast.

elegant ornaments for the school room.
Children are delighted to atudy Geography
by thi* system. They learn so rapidly and
receive such clear impressions ol the subject,
that it is a pleasure to both teacher and pu
pil to be engaged in it. We all know that a
better and more lasting idea of a locality is
obtained by looking ai a bold and distinct
drawing nl it, than by volnmea ol descrip
tion. It a man want* to get 'an exact idea
I of a farm IIP ha* been purchasing, he iearne
more by one iook at the draft on the back of
the deed, than by reading the desaription in
side twenty limes. This is die great princi
ple ol Helton's system of Geography, and
there are others equally practical combined
with it which entitle it to the reputation it
sustains, us the besi and quickest mode of
teaching Geography, vet introduced.
PHYSICAL GEOGRAPHY—including ell
the invaluable discoveries in this science, of
Lieut Maury and bis rcadjiitors, is beauti
fully illustrated by these maps and the ac
compatiA ing keys. The keys ere to be used

and evident superiority justifies it.—Prof. *
Sanders is a practical leacherof public schools,
who has made the subject the study of his
life. Eighteen years ago he published a ae
ries of Readers, which had great popularity,
but the new series on which he has been en
gaged ever since, are acknowledged hy all
to be the greatest advance yet made ill Rad
ers. Eminent teachers everywhere, who
have been so bored by book agents that lliey
were unwillingly induced to look at ihem,
have at once pronounced their excellence
and introduced them over all kinds, and the
best which had been published before them.

creek township, but more particularly the
road leading from the turnpike near Found
ryvilfe, through Shickshiuny Valley, past Jo
seph Stackhouue's, upon which it is repre
sented, that there is a bridge whrah it untafo
to cross with teams. Also,a road loading from
Isaiah Cqle.'sjo the turnpike and one leading
from Jesse Pennington's saw-mill up Jtaven
creek to the turnpike in Benton township are
