On last Thursday all the elements of op- | position to Democracy met in the Court House in this place lo form a district and county ticket. The following gentlemen were appointed conferoes: Congressional Conferees—S. E. Walton, Jacob Melick. Senatorial Conferees—Thos. E. Eves, J. P. Tajjgarl. Representative Conferees—Benj P. Port lier, Andrew Madison. There were no instructions for any candi dates, though a motion was made to instruct for Dr. George W. Lott for Congress. It was voted down l>y a vote of three to seven, as we are told, for we were not there. This -was unkind to the Doctor, but probably arose from the fact that he lias occasionally voted the Democratic ticket, and so far as wo can learn, would not go into tho foolish Know Nothing organization. Tho time fora meet ing of tlw conferences was fixed for the 20th September, which will be next Sunday.— This mu3t be a Hindoo performance. The following persons were nominated as a coun ty ticket, by an indiscriminate vote of any person who chanced to bo present, for there was no pretence that the voters represented the sentiment of the people. Prothonotary—B. F. Hartman. Register and Recorder—S 11. Bowman. Commissioner —Elisha 11 ay man. Treasurer —S. B. Dienier. Auditor--Gilbert 11. Fowler. Some, and perhaps all, of these men would j make competent officers, but as much can : be said of the Democratic nominees. Though J one of tho Democratic nominees may have | bc6n misled into the camp ol the political enemy on several occasions, his opponent, like j nil the above ticket, is a Ifc long opponent j of Democracy. So nothing is to be made by J any Democrat supporting a single nominee , of the Opposition, and the line ol principle • is tho only safe one. The lteiictlon Every body went into business beyond his I means, and the result is a general explosion j in the money market. Banks break by Ihc . score, and merchants and manufacturers are ] involved in the general crash. Iron manu- | facturers sold rails to Railroad Companies al j double profits, but for slock as pay. The market is now gluited with such stocks; and j the manufacture's have no money, while, the j Rrttroad Company has a waUH debt hum- , ing over it, for die h : gh prices it paid for ev- j ery thing lit stock. *i Prices of all things went up to an unnatural pouil, because credit was cheep. The ex pan- ■ eion benefited no persons except a lew shrewd J epeculators, but the depression will squeeze many a man to tuiti. The banks now refuse , lo discount, and the heads of the commercial | interest have their paper protested. This is > all the necessary and natural result ol a dc- j patture from sound principles, and the 100 j free use of credit. The lesson is an old one, au impressive one; but in many cases a dear- ■ bought one. The New York Posf says: "Tho amount j of floating railroad debt piled on the city ol New York is siaied, we know not on what j authority, to be quiieas much as twenty-four ; millions of dollars. This is niody at enor- j raous rates of interest —from two to four per, cent, a month. There is, ns there ought lo be, a preity thorough collapse in railroad stocks ot lite speculative class, including j some that have hereiofore paid rego'ar divi- ' dends. The probability is, that many ol them : will disappear entirely from die market fn j the course of a law monihs. The bsokbone of our stock exchange is growing weaker every day, and when it can no longer carry its inflations by duping outside capitalists,! many will fall never 10 rise again. ' ">Ve are lold, on good authority, that the Reading Railroad Company is now paying four per cent, a month on a considerable pro portion, if not all of its floating debt. Tried by the standard of moral rectitude, this is no better than (read. Many other companies are in in equally bad or worse condition." A Sew )Vny to Sell Books. A fashion has slatted in the cities, which, though perhaps more honored in the breach than the observance, sometimes betides hick to some fellow. It is to sell books at ilio publishers' price and give the purchaser a chance to draw some gilt worth front 25 cts. teSKR>. Aa tho book® ai* offered at trade sales, the vendors can afford to distribute gifts with them, and really Jo so. They are not such irresponsible vagrants as origina ted tbe gift concert humbug. Recently we published an advertisement fot A. Ramiey -of New York, for which we ordered a copy of Dante as pay, thinking nothing about the gift. The book caine, and alter reading eonoeighty pages in it, there fell out from the leaves \bree fine gold shirt studs worth advertisement of Duane Rulison,Phil adelphia, is for an enterprise of the same sort Court Proceeding*. In the cases of Adam Stroup, Jr., for use vs. Rupert StKoons for several instalments on an ore lease, tne defence alleged ibat the plain tiff had rescinded the agreement immediate ly altar making it by his other lessees tres passing on tl e premises leased to the defend ants, and taking out some ore. But it did not appear clearly whether this trespass was be fore or alter the lease here in suit, nor that Stroup knew of it. There was no wilful in terference in bad faith, and the defendants did not complain of it until suit brought. The verdicts were for the plainti/f in one suit for $387 Id, in the other for $ 199 06. On motion of Mr. Kuckalew, Ctnttuts M. BLAKER, Kq., was sworn and admitted to practice as an attorney in iho several courts o! this coun<y. pt e had previously boen ad mitted in the Supreme Court for the State of Illinois, and was admitted on the principle of reciprocity. The case of Com. vs John Mason for for. and bns. was settled by the parties. The Grand Jury returned the following in dictments in addition to those wo noticed last week: Com. vs. Samuel Kostenborder: for selling liquor on Sunda). Not a true bill—county to pay the costs. Com. vs. Henry Fuus and John Coiner: (or not repairing roads, a true bill. Com. vs. Hendrick V. YV. Vanacker: for selling liquor without license, a true bill. The case of Ckdutir* r Weaver was next tried. It was an acltoti for a breach of promise of marriago, and though it was not proved in express words, the evi dence clearly proved by all the facts in the case that a promise existed. The defendant hadconrted the plamtifl for some eighteen months, and letters were given in evidence which indicated the most tender relations, consistent only with a premise of marriage. It was, however, proved it: defence that Miss | Tanner, after the alleged promise of marriage, denied (hat it existed. Other witnesses tes tified that after the suit was brought the de fendant said she would not have suod Wea ver except to spite Mrs. Uomley, his mother. This was what the defendant's counsel relied on, but in the opinion of the conn and jury it did not excuse his conduct, and the plain tiff obtained a verdict of SSOO, which was all she claimed. The parlies live in Madison township. Loidy and Cotnly for plaiutiff, Clark and Freeze for defendant. The following add it iottul indictments were returned : Com. vs. Mary Sullivan : for selling liquor wilhout license, a true bill.* Com. vs. Isaac Leidy and Elisha Hartman: for not opening a road, a irue bill. Coin. vs. John V. Cresswell, Daniel Dull, and James Dull: for nuisance, a true bill. Com. vs. John Lew is and George Dills, for not repairing roads, a true bill. Same vs. Same: for not repairing road, a irue bill. The case of Adam Gable vs. the Adminis trator of Knglo Fox was next tried. It was a claim of over MOO for boarding and attend ing Engle Pox in his last illness. It was prov ed that for soir.o six or eight weeks before his death Fox required very much attention and careful nursing, for which Mr. Gable claimed $25 per week. For boarding ho claimed $3 a week, while the Administrator proved that there was a contract by which Mr. Gable was to board Fox, while well, for Si per week. The jury rendered a verdict for the plaintiff for sll7 71. Jonathan Moste'der vs. Stephen Bahly was a daim of some $l5O for building a stable, an J oilier work. The evidence as to the sta ble made out that part of tho case, but the plaintiff (ailed to prove that IDldy agreed to pay for a:iy of the other work, or ordered it to be done, So dial pail fell.

They were in a fair way to recover themselves, and to continue in operation their extensive works, which employ over two thousand workmen, when tho panic in railroad securities, and the con vulsion in the money market, cut short their orders for rails, upon the sales of which they relied for means to meet their rurrent en gagements. They are represented to have made large profits in the last two years, and we are assured havo raw materials enough, when worked into shape, to pay all their in debtedness, and real estate in addition, at a fair valuation, for double the amount, all of which can be made available upon the return of confidence, and a renewal of the demand lor railroad iron. FinJing it impossible in j the present condition of things to procure i funds to pay their notes, even at enormous sacrifices which they have made, they have been compelled to suspend for the present.— i It is to be hoped that this suspension may be only temporary, and that the extensive works operated by these firms, so important to the general comiuuuhy, may continue in opera uou.-Ledger.

"jbe SI nine Law a Failure. Everywhere, the experiment of the Maine Liquor Law fas proved a failure, and those who its most zealous advocates are confessinf 'heir mistake, and repudiating the idea of cohpulsory abstinence upon which it was based, as a cure for lite evils of in temperance. The latest instance of a con fession of tbs kind, has just come under our notice, in a Utter from Hon. Henry Wilson, one of ihe foiled Slates Senators from Mas sachusetts, le John B. Gough, the great tem perance ofator; who, we believe, has himself publicly proclaimed bis loss of faith in the Maine Law. An extract from Ihe letter has been heretofore printed, but it was not until within the last few days that it appeared en tiro ; "NAVICS,'MASR., June 20, 1857. "Dear Sir : —ln response to your inquiries, I have to say that the Maine Law in Massa chusetts has not met the expectations ol its Itiends. 1 advocated and voted for the law in the Legislature, and I have supported it before the people, aud I intend to continue to do so. But the law has accomplished fat less than its friends expected when they pass ed it. In the first place tho law tins not been fairly tested, owing to the embarrassments thrown in its way by the courts and juries. They may be correclod in process of time. At any ralo, I hope so. Another cause of failure is lhn| its friends depended 100 much linn iW* ' ii m i-' 1 - lion. Work that ought to have been done has been neglected, because the friends of ihe cause have placed too much reliance up on ihe force of law. 1 think they begin to seo this, and am confident that they will hereafter not only sustain and force the law, but u[ftiold it by appeals to the moral senti ments of the people. My idea is that we want laws—such laws as can bo enforced, and that appeals should be continually made to the heart, conscience and reason of the people, to abandon the use of what the law proscribes. Yours truly, "HENRY WILSON." a Admirably Muted. The following description of the kind of men who made the Kansas trouble, is as good as we hare seen anywhere. The idea is not at all new, for it has been constantly repeated by tho Democratic press, but never in clear er or more marked language. And yet this is the tardy confession of an able and leading Fremont papfcv, the Providence Journal. All the more respectful opposition journals of the country are beginning to feel that they must now own up to the truth, which can no lon ger he concealed, and hence such conlessions as the lollowing. After describing how Kan sas might have been peaceably eoltled, the editor adds: " But this peaceful proceeding woulJ not have met the American requirement for ex citement ; so men from the south, who had never owned a negro, and never had money enough at any one time to pay for a negro's suit of summer clothing, inarched to Kansas to vindicate the ir (uresisand honor of ttie in stitutions vt the south; and men from the north, who tgeuld have beeu quiiu as likely to join Walkpr in Nicaragua, or shipped on board some Jotluguese slaver, started, on '.he other hand, ind upheld freedom. And there they meet, fight, and speculate, and when the country ii really settled, and quietness and order succeed the disturbance and trials of pioneer life, half of them will find the place too dull, an{ will seek sorno new field ot ex citement, where danger and turmoil and con tention will }ay for existence aud take from life itseunui." fTlie Sub-Trcnsury. In "making change" at our desk tho other day, says |he New Haven Register, there tnrneil up oiyo of the old copper devices got up by the opponents of the "Independent Treasury" aystsin in 1837. It is in the form of a penny—and has upon it the figure of a ship caftfrt 'Hiassilmssi," wSnce spars are all going by the board, while the light-1 ning is represented as giving it the strongest kind of lick! Surrounding it are the words, "Van Buren's metallic currency." Twenty years had gone by—and to those of us who remember tho warfare of those days —how the Independent Treasury was inces santly denounced, ridiculed and scouted; how vehemently tho great statesmen of the opposition, predicted ruin to all business inter ests, if it was adopted ; how the timid Irem* - bled, and the Democracy 6tood firm in faith of tho measure which they had proposed; how the * who'.o country was convulsed by mass meetings and violent harangues, how fear paralyzed business, and self protection closed the avenues to credit; bow its friends breasted the 6iorm and strove to convince its opponents ol the folly of their madness ; and how the Democratic party, in 1840, were overborne by a panic at once resistless and ridiculous, growing out of the success of that measure ; to such, now that the Independent Treaeufl 1 hia long been conceded one of tne wisest plans ever adopted by our Government, there is "a sermon" ftuitful of pleasing re flections. It tell* of Democratic wisdom, its strug gles, its oodurance, I a "d it gives to Democratic faith in the intelligence of the masses a firmer hold and a more vigorous growth. Millions of these little scoffers at the "Slate TVeasury" wero dropped into the cur rents of trade to prejudice that measure ; and they are occasionally "turning up," to remind ns of in usefulness, and the mistaken vio lence that opposed its establishment.

He then picked up ihe keys the Sheriff bad left on the floor,'ran down stairs pushing before him a young ladi eon of the Sherifi, who was coming up stairs; unlocked the outer door of the jail, and es caped through the garden into an alley, and from thence into un out-lot of Mr. Deen, along the river bank, from whence it was his intention to wade through the river to the Blue Hill and conceal himself in the woods auiil night would aid bim in his further Right. In tho meantime several of the other prison, ers, hearing the noise, ran up stairs and lib erated the Sheriff and his lady from their in voluntary imprisonment. The alarm was then instantly given, and before Clark had crossed half the field, lie was overtaken and brought back to his cell where he now is se curely fastened by a chain to the floor, being both handcuffed and hoppled.

Tists's Changes.—The inventors of Steam- J power, Railroads, and machinery have dur ing this ceDtury changed the means and courses of living, while the discoveries of science have done even more for the ad vancement of human happiness and tbe a-1 melioration of human suffering. Our fore fathers when they were sick, drank their bitter drugs that did not cure, and bowed them down under diseases that are now easi ly broken. They tried crude roots and herbs, which failed them. Now scientific researob hae discovered that this peculiar property of one root and that of another was required. It is through this light, and on this principle Dr. Ayer has compounded his two great rem edies—Cherry Pectoral and Cathartic Pills.— He has concentrated the curative virtues of our best vegetable remedies. The result shows their origin and their results are known in this community. Mark the difference to a patient, in the lapse of fifty years. Then he swallowed his bitter pill in vain—now the sick man takes his sugared Pill or honied Drop and soon is well agsin. These adap tations of the sciences which bear upon tbe security or the comforts of human life are after all the tangible poiuts of their vantage to men. Without ihem H matters little how much may be discovered, or what we know since it is unavailable to our necessities and use.— Eastern Literary Review. SMALL WlT— The Republican papers call ing Gen.

It was a convict ship. ■lt bore as condemned prisoner® Sir John Dean Paul and hia two partners, Bate* and Strahan' Redpath, a wholesale forger; Robson, the Crystal Palace swindler; and Saward, a bar rister, who, after a successful careet of fraud, that had lasted for more than twenty years, had been finally delected. These men were all educated, had enjoyed good social posi tions, and were apparently above the reaoh of suspicion. " The imputation-©! ■ natty false hood, or a moan shuffle," to quote the words of a London newspaper, "would have filled litem with indignation ; and yet, at this mo ment, they wear the convict's dross, and herd with the common mob of vulgar criminals, the touch of whose passing garments would once have been held a foul pollution." It must be acknowledged that, whatever other faults England may have, she at least vindicates the Uw, irrespective of rank and in fluence. This lias been her boast for gener ations. From the limos when Bacon was stripped of his dignities—when Strafford was brought to the scaffold—when Karl Ferrers was hung for murdering Ills steward, down to our own day,no station has been high enough to protect a criminal from the justice of an outraged law. Neither rank, nor wealth, nor political importance—neither the friendship of the judges, uor a connection with the high •M mrtvWfcy, has term able to screen the of fender. The court* stand above suspicion. Juries aro free from the-imputation of being bribed. The freight of this convict-ship is a now proof, if one was wanting, that justice, in England, is inexorable as well as impar tial. Fratal itself—that vioe of modern civ ilization, which so many consider compara tively venial—cannot escape. The commonwealths ol these United States might take a lesson from England. Politicsl liberty is here in advance of what it is in Ureal Britain, especially political liberty in tho Northern Slates; but personal rights aro hardly as secure, and crime is assuredly loss certain of punishment. Wo could, if neces sary, quote numerous instances where men, guilty ol ctimes similar to those of Sir John Dean Paul have escaped punishment. The recbrds of tho Courts, in this as well as in other Stales, show how frequently justice winks at the Teloaso of offenders who have wealth or political influence. Vainly may we boast ol our progress, vuinly compare ourselves triumphantly with other people, while these things continue among us. In republics, even more than in monarchies, tho law must be vindicated; for the law, in free govorttmenls especially, is the foundation of order and prosperity. Laxity in administer ing the law leads to indifference ; indifference (o anarchy; anarchy to ruin.—Ledger. New York Commission Agency. The V. B. PALMER &Co., have established, in connection with their office, Tribune Buildings, New York, a Commission Agency, through which persons residing out of the city, and in any State of the Union, will be enabled to purchase goods at thelowost mar ket prices, and with every attention paid to style, quality, &e. They have associated with them, gentlemen who have had great experience in purchasing and soiling goods, of every description, and will doubtless give satislaction to all who may transact business through their agency. They will execute orders of any amount, large or small, and for any article that can be purchased in that city. The necessary amount of CASH must ac company all orders—excrpt when payment can be made on delivery of the goods, which is usually the case if sent by express—unless the parties of whom the goods are purchased assume the responsibility. To avoid delays and perplexing mistakes, great care should be U6cd in making up or ders, that they may be clear anu perfectly intelligible.

It says. ; " Let the cannon's peal awaken every heart to this truth : that the murders and outrages committed by Missouri Ruffians in Kansas, under the protection of the Democratic party, which the party in Pennsylvania pronounced all a lie, 47,000 hones', voters in Missouri de nounce and manfully condemn where the effec of their noble couduct will be most ap preciated—at the Ballot-box." The beauty of the matter about all these hallelujahs sung over Rollins is, that while he is trumpted as the Republican candidate, he is the owner, as he says himself, iu one of his letters, of between tttehty and thirty slaves, and has tbe control of as many more inat he does not own ; while Stewart, the Democratic candidate—now Governor elect— never owned a slave in bit life. No doubt Rollins is as good a Black Republican as any of them, and quite as sincore. Every one of tbe leaders of that party, for aught they care about the negro, would just as soon own him as any other property, if ibeir own State laws would perm it tbem. But since they dare not own him, they put him to the next best use they can for themselves—they make an in strument of biat to put themselves in office. Rollias had ibis advantage over (he Republi cans of tho free States, he owned the negro, and made a political hobby of him beside.— Wdliamsport Gcztlle.

In one case, involving $40,000, which had been brought before him on a writ of error, he ordered the Sher iff to stay proceedings on the mortgage, de ciding that a Judge of the Supreme Court, at Chambers, has the power to control process in the hands of a sheriff pending a writ of error, and that the case before him was a proper one for the exercise of that power Serin rI ion try u Clergyman —The Trenton "Stale G2tte" of 'Monday'relates lha par ticulars of a case ol seduction ilnH occurred in Burlington, New Jersey, on Friday last.
