Good spank ing may be expected. [Sept. 2, '67. Itrprcseututive t'onfercoce. j In this new Representative district Sulli van county hold tiie first Democratic Con vention and fixed the 4th of September as the time for holding the Representative Con ference at Bloomsburg. This was in accord ance with the rule in our old district, nnd al so with that heretofore observed in Sullivan nnd Wyoming. It has been the custom to hold the conference'soon alter the lasrcon vention in tlio district lias been held, and this has always brought the Representative confurenco earlier than tlio Senatorial nnd Congressional onos. We arc sorry thoroforo i to seo that tire Montour convention recently, j without assigning uny reason, attempted to | reverse the rule and postpone the Repre- I scntative conference behind tlio Senatorial i and Congressional ones. Tire ntlempt is in j bad spirit, as no reason is assigned or can , be given for it, and as ti fraternal and not a \ stubborn fueling should be manifested in I the conferences of neighboring counties. It j is a bad beginning for our now district, and ' every person will feel inclined to ask what | motive could have caused this disagreement. 1 If tlio time can make no difi'crcne? in results, I why produce disagreement and reverse the rule of the party nnd of reason ? If the Rep resentative conference is not removed be yond the time of Congressional and Senate- j rial Conferences to rlfoet them, why so ro- I move it 1 There must bo a motive. Hut i men who aspire to high places ought not to | go out of the way to oliiir reasonable grounds for the suspicion of designed intrigue. A I nomination ought to bo not only lair, but I beyond tho taint or suspicion of corruption. To prove how tho rule litis been in this district, we give the following items from the records during the past seven years. In 1860 John McKcynnlds was nominated for Assembly on the 7th of September. j In 1851 Mr. Jackson was nominated by | tho Representative conference on the 3d of September. In 1882 George Scott was nominated by the Representative conference ou the 9tli of September. The Congressional conference was hold on tho 11 th. In 1853 tho Representative Conference was fixed for the 2d September. The Sen atorial conference was held on the 19th. In 1854 tho Representhtive Confereneo was held on the Bth of September, and the Congressional on tho 12th. In 1855 Mr. Montgomery was nominated by tho UoprescntntiveConforencoon the 29th of August. In 1856 Mr. F.nt was nominated by the Representative Conference on tho 3dot Sep tember. The Congressional Conference was held on the lßtli|oTSepteniber and tho Sena torial on tho 19th of llio same mouth. Hare thou the unbVoken rule is to hold tho Representative Conference first, and early in September—once indeed in August. It was known ill Montour that Sullivan had fixed a time in nceordauce with this rule, and it were alwnys better that Conferees should meet as soon after their appointment as is practicable. That prevents all attempts at improper interference and leaves a nom ination free from all suspicion of intrigue. Snyder County. The Democrats of Snyder county held their convention laet week but failed to take defi nite action on the Senatorial nomination.— Five ballots were taken for Senator before the other nomination* were made. The re sult was Ist ballot. 2d Ballot. Reuben Keller, It 12 Henry C. Eyer, 8 8 Thomas Bowei, 5 4 The three following ballots were the same as the second. After the other nominations were made 21 more ballots were taken which all resulted like the second. The conven tion then adjourned without appointing ar.y Conferee*. This is certainly an unfortunate disagree-, ment, and our friend* will see pret'y soon that we were right when we deprecated the complicated and clumsy districts into which the new apportionment bill throws us. It i* bad enough when counties have troubles with in ihameelre*, but much worse when they di*ag(Ml wiik one another, without any ex cuse, and cance uncalled for d.fficulties, as MoctoaoMl lately done with Sullivan. tar Compel Geary is oal lot Pucker and Democracy * *' The Nominations. For Congress John Mcßeynold* has as much capacity as any of the candidates nam ed, and our county has claims equal to any other in the District. The office belongs not to any county but to the fittest man. Mr. Mcßcynolds has made politics the study of his long life, and is therefore well acquainted with public men and their history. His sa gacity and discretion would make him a . useful member to his constituents and friends. For member Mr. Ent is re-nominated, and his votes last winter fully justified the zeal ous support we gave to his election. The trial he has had proved the character of the man, and men are certain what sort of can didate tliey have in him. For Prothonotary, Mr. Eycrly, whom ev erybody knows, is re-nominated. This was entirely upon his merits as an officer, for his long tenure of office was urged strongly against him. Bnt his experience in office made this charge operate more in his favor than against him. He will be as easily elect ed as he was nominated, iorpeopie feel that it is a matter of much importance to have the duties of an office well attended to. Daniel Lee was unanimously re-nomina ted for Register and Recorder; and as every voter will agree that no man more correct, attentive and fair could be found for the of fice, he will most likely have no competitor at the pulls. For Commissioner, M-. Dieterick is social ly a clever man, and his father served as Commissioner some years ago. Politically he litis repeatedly opposed Democratic nom inations, voting in 1853 for a volunteer who waß last fall the Know Nothing elector in this district, and in 1854 for the K. N. Volun | leers. But as the convention seems to ob j solve him for these things,"and protionnoes liirn more meritorious than any of 2,000 true | Democrats of the county who have regularly i supported nominations', we are too good a Democrat to set up onr private opinion against the decree of the party, and we rnly hope that when he is elected It is public course will justify the partiality of the convention. No man has a right to expect that every nomina tion shall every yeur please his personal de sire, and if the party has forgiven Mr. Dieter inlf nanngl.l oerluinly to COUttlllUle O'jr smnll share of pardon which we can well do; es pecially as we shonlifte very much ashamed to act in the spirit he did in 1855, when he secretly distributed tickets for tlieKuow Noth ings with onr name fur county Auditor, and being told we were not a candidate lie an swered, "1 know, but wo run him lor spite." We shall act in no spirit of "spile" or mal ice toward him; and we have no doubt he is in moments of cool mind as much ashamed that ho litis done so, as wo would be to follow so had uu example. II the Opposition nom inate a competitor, he is likely to be still more obj-ctionnble, and as we are woll con tent with all the rest of the ticket we are as well off as any member of a party can bo. James S. M'Nineli is well qualified for Treasurer, lie was for some years a steady clerk in the store of M'Kelvy & Co., and to this day enjoy* their generous confidence for integrity and business capacity. Ho is now a partner in the largo paper mill nt Catawis sn, and though comparatively young he lias muny friends among those who know him best. John R. Y'olre was nominated by such a largo vole that it is certain he has persona! friends. Tlio whole Yohe family, we be- j lieve, are Democrats and John is among the most active ol them. Dunk ol' Newcastle. We learn from New Cas'lo thai .it is the intention ol the Directors of the late New Casllc Hank to resume payment and business ou the 13th of October next. The r.ame ol the concern will be that of "The Lawrence County Batik," and the stock mostly held in the hands ol the people of New Castle and vicinity—a very large amount having been 1 taken by merchants and farmers, in sums of from fifty to live hundred dollars each. Tho bills of Ihe old bank bring readily 90c. in gold, and as there is but little of.lhe oIJ is sue out, it will be redeemed at par before the loth ol October. More llnnk Failures. Tho Rhode Island Central Rank, the Tiv erton Bank, R. 1., and the Farmers' Bank of Wickford have tailed within the past week. So also has the Ohio Life and Trust Com pany with supposed liabilities to at least 67,- 1 000,000. John Thompson, a Wall Street Banker has also failed tor $250,000. The Maratime Bank, Bangor, Maine, is reported fai led. The Next Senate. Ol the State Senators 22 will hold over: that is, 13 Democrats and 9 ol the Opposition.— If the Opposition can unite ihe votes in the other 11 which were last fall cast lor Free mont aud Fillmore they will elect 6 and the Democrats 5. In that event the r.ext Senate would stand 18 Democrats to 15 Opposition.

Lknge, Esq., was the Chairman, by which committee the following resolutions were submitted to the meeting: " In the progrese of events it occasionally behooves every intelligent people to assert their rights, and boldly defend them against the encroachments of those by whom tbey are governed—therefore Resolml, That we approve most emphati cally of (he course adopted and pursued by ibe national administration. Resolved, That we have full confidence In the ability and integrity of the nominees of the Democratic party nominated at Hartis burg, and will give them our hearty support. Resolved, That we highly approve of the doctrine* and principles as set forth in the State Central Committee's address, as Being at the same time ably and purely Democrat ic, and more especially that portion of the ad dress whioh treats oi municipal subscriptions to railroads, &0., at this time we do recognize as most appropriate. Resolved, That legislative aotion should be confined within the limits of a strict construc tion ol the Constitution. Resolved, That tax means that tribute alone •hiiiK atitv nMlthst nf *t— agrees to pay to defray the absolute end ne cessary expenses of the government, end that the taxing power should not be exercised for any other purpose. Resolved, Thai it is the special duty of the Demoeratic party to protect and preserve in violate the individual rights of every citizen in the Commonwenlth in opposition to the assumption of power, either by our legisla ture or the officials under ourcounty and city corporate authorities. Resolved, That we solemnly avow our hos tility to the imposition of taxes for railroad purposes, and our unqualified determination to resist by all constitutional and legal means, the payment of any tax imposed upon us ille gally, either by State or county. Resolved, That while declaring no opposition to railroad improvements, we hohl that they should be advaneed by individual enterprise alone. * Resolved, That wo depreotte the system of free tickets being given to Judges, Legisla tors, I'reachers, Editors, &c.—said system be ing in our estimation a tacit and insidious means of bribery and corruption too danger ous to tolerate. Resolved, That we deem it to be the duty of our Commissioners now not to assess any lax for railroad purposes until compelled to pay by legal process. Resolved, That the legislature is in duty bound by statute to limit the ussessiug and collecting of any more tax than is absolutely necessary to defray the expenses of the gov ernment. The sevenltt resolution was opposed by Df. J. R. MeClintock, but il wni adopted by a vote of 65 to 35. The whole series was then adopted by a largo majority.
