Agreeably to adjournment, the Senatorial Conference of the district, composed of tho counties of Columbia, Montour, Northum berland and Snyder, met at Eckbert'sHotel, in Milton, on Saturday last, Sept. 2<iih.— From Columbia, Geo. Scott, and l'eter Bill myer, substituted by bimanual Lazarus, up poured; from Montour, Daniel Biilmyer, and Thomas Chalfmit, from Northumber land, VV. L. Dew art, and —— ; and from Snyder, Merrill nnd Dr. Auhl. Upon meeting, the Columbia Coumy Con forces voted for Buckutew; Montour for Col. MoCormick ; Northumberland, for Geo. C. Weiker; and Snyder for Major Keller. The balloting continued with various changes, during tho afternoon. The name of John Mclteyuolds was also introduced, and balloted for. After considerable irregu larity in the phase of the vote, Snyder county led oil lor Buckalcw, and the vole of Montour and Columbia gave him the nomination. Hon. \Y. L. IVwart, in a very handsome and complimentary speech, moved that the nomination be nuWo unanimous, which was agreed to; and the conference adjourn ed in the host feeling. The nomination was made on the 105 th ballot, and must be highly satisfactory to the parly We shall gite the official proceedings in our next issue. — <•••• - - "TIII.SK ARK It vlf II TIMES.'' ( Yea: nnd the extravagance, thoughtless> speculation and wild debt-making has cans-1 <>d this panic over which its authors now lament. Everybody went into business with borrowed capital and trying to forget that | pay-day would ever come. Banks were borrowed dry by men who could not pay half their debts, and then, last winter eight I millions and a half more of hanking capital j was created by act of Assembly and thrown ' before the people to tempt, corrupt, and de bauch, the public mind into pro I lag acy and general bankruptcy. Trices weut mad. Produce and labor a'l got fabulous sums; but neither labor nor produce will have any riches left them un der the general collapse. The result must be a return to first prin ciples and the financial world must learn that business can only be safely done on actual and real capital and not on its ficti tious representative. Some of the Philadelphia Banks have suspended specie payments—nearly all of thera refuse to pay deposits. The best among them have and will weather through ■the storm. The Gerard and Pennsylvania bank, which have grown fat by State U\ors. are at the head and front of ;his movement for a general suspension. They are old offenders and after abusing now the gener ous confidence of the public, oa which they had grown rich, they ought to be severely jfealt with.

It has a heart for actios and motives for a world. It constitates the .principle of diffusion and is to humanity : what lite centrifugal force is to a revolving •orb of a universe. What motion is to them, Democracy is to principlo. it is the soul of action. It conforms to the providence of I God. It has confidence in man and an abi j ding reliance in his high destiny. It seeks | the largest liberty, the greatest good, and the surest "happiness. It aims to build up I the great interests of the many, to the least detriment of the few. It remembers the j past without neglecting the present. It es itablishos the present, without fearing to provide for the future. It cares for the weak, while it permits no injustice to the strong. It conquers the oppressor, and pre- i k pares the subject of tyranny for freedom.— It melts the bigot's heart to meekness, and I I reconciles his mind to knowledge. It ilis | pels the cloud of ignorance and superstition, j prepares the people for instruction, and I self-respect. It adds wisdom to legislation, S and improved judgement to government I It favors enterprises that yields to many, { and an industry that is permanent, it is | the pioneer of humanity—the conservator !of "nations. It fails only when it ceases to be true to itself. It will quench the lire of Republicanism' and hush the hrawlings of , | fanatics. HON. Wl I.LI AM STONG. I The following, from the Berks and Schuyl- j 1 kill Journal, the Wilmot and Republican or- I S gnn in Berks county, we commend to the < attention of the citizens of other counties, J i ias showing in what estimation our candi- ' date ior Judge 01 the Supreme Court is held ' at home, even by his political opponents:— ' Reading Gazette. F "The nomination of Mr. Strong will elicit r a large vote in his favor not only from his own party, hut from those who stand in the | position of political opponents, and this t 1 will bd the case not alone in Berks, but v wherever lie is known. Mr. S. is a gradu- ' ale of Vale College, which ho left with the •' highest honor. His legal career commonc- ed in this county, where his talents soon v placed him at the head of the bar. lie rep- 11 resented thiscounty in Congress two terms, " and declined are election. To legal abili- 1' ties of the highest order, he adds great in- j ' dustry and power of up plication to business, '' and the unimpeachable Integrity of his I character, his sympathy with all business ' enterprises th it have added to the prosper- 1 ity of this city, and his private virtues, I have secured hint universal respect and j ( the affectionate regards of this community, j , In saying this we do but justice to a politi- | cal opponent." I • Amcmlmeut* to the Constitution. The citizens of Columbia county should not forget that they will be culled on at the elee lion in October, to vote in rele'ence ro some important amendments to the State Constitu tion. They tvill be found in an other part ol this paper. There are four ulierations pro posed, and tltey will have to be voted on separately, that is, on four Tickets. They are 1. In relation to the creation ol Public Debts: 2. lit rsfarer.ee to the erection of new coun ties: 3. In relation to the Legislative Appoint ments, and the election in certain cases of Representatives by single districts. 4. In relation to chatters of incorporation, proposing to give the Legislature power to alter and revoke any charter when deemed neoessary. This is not a party measure, but it should receive the attention of every citizen. Tnc It X-KATKU STKVMKR —The loss of the Central Ainerien still continues to excite pub lie attention, The adjourned meeting at New Yoik on behalf of the sufferers resulted ir. the collection of $8 095. Thi, added to $2.- 000 already collected at Norfolk, makes SlO,- ! 085. It is presumed, from the hearty re • spouse of the public, that the amount con tributed in New York will not fall short ol $15,000. The Steamship Company have made no further statement relative to the loss of the ship. The investigation has been thus far conducted in private. The expense of bring ing on the survivors to this city has been paid by the company. I.rctst ATtvK —It scents difficult for the Opposition to find candidates for Assembly, considering the desperate small chances of their election. The chances are too small to tempt any one to indulge in a contest The last report nominates Dr Brower. the editor of the Danville American, and some body in Sullivan county. The Couferces for Senator have not yet made any nomina tion. A DtrrtßEsce.—The Blaek Republican paper# in all parts of the Stale are engaged in pnblishi.ig notices comflime .1 ry in Mr Wilmoi, taken from Den.octane journal# at a time when that gentleman va< acting wuh the Democratic pary, and contrasting litem wiih what the same papers say of Mr. Wil raot's course at the present lime.

Oratory, We all with what luxuriance of adjectives and intensity of fulsome adula tion, the opposition press proclaimed the or atorical excellence of Mr. Wilmot, and the exultation with which they prated of the i fear which Gen. Packer entertained of this dread cfiampion. This, we must not forget, was before the people Jiud had any oppor tunity of hearing anything about the justice of these panagyrics. Now, since his real merits are not shrouded in the mists of dis tance and ignorance, we have ceased to hear any thing further of this mighty orator, who was to carry away spell-hound the hearts and best affections of the volets of the State. Wherever he goes, he meets with but poor reception, and leaves without a regret from his parly friends. In Clarion, Meadville, I Franklin and Mercer, he has been received by comparatively small numbers, less than 'an ordinary lowr. meeting. Trie humiliating fact is, thul Ids pilgrimage through the State tins been RD utter failure. The people ore sick of abolition harangues, and are begin ning to suspect the real truth, that there is uotliing but trickery in the Kansas excite ment, upon which he has been pleased to base his entire hopes of success. This cam paign will be known through coming lime us that which was conducted by one of the par'ies with en utter disregard of all Mate in terest and the ignoring of its true issues. ' Wilmot declared at Clarion thul in almost I every instance, but his first speech in Phila- I ilelpliia, lie had addressed himself to State I questions of policy. Now if wo are not grieviously mistaken, Mr. Wilmot is. In one of his la! speeches at Mercer, l e avoided them altogether, and in no one speech ol which we have yet seen an account, do we now recall an instance in which lie even al luded to them except in the most distant and supeificia! manner, w>'th the single exception ol that at Clnrion, where he was forced to it by the previous address of Gov. Bigler. His entire slock in trade, is apologies for his 'proviso,' whose introduction was fraught with so much injury;threadbare tirades upon "lie horrors of sluvcry, and assaults upon the consistency of others. All this will do him but hltle good with the honest and intelligent voters of our Commonwealth, who would much prefer to hear from him, some inti mations as to the probable course ho would pursue a our Siale Governor, and not as the representatives of New England abolition ism.—Pittsburg Union. The Subsidized Press. —ln the Daily News el the 21st mst., Mr. 11. R.Swoope, Chairman of the American Siulo Commuter, publishes a list ol liuenn newspapers in the intetior ol this State, which were subsidized or paid lor their support to Fremont last full. The list was furnished by Gov. Ford, of Ohio, for the New York Herald, to rebut the chargo that he had misappropriated the sum ol $20,000, which the Herald says was placed in his hands to subsidize the press ol Pennsylvania. Mr. Swoope says he does notsav that the pa pers referred to received the money, which is a question between them and Gov. Ford. The umounl said to have been paid to the fiileen was $0,490, in sums from SI,OOO to s<s. try We understand thai the difficulty he iween the Sudbury and Erie liailroaii and the F.ltnira Coal Dealers is about being arranged by which ihe stripping of coal over the road will be continued. Whether t.angdon & Co. have agreed to pay the 10 cents per ton more demanded by the Company, we are unable to say. The continuenee of the coal trade to Kltnira is of considerrble importance to the Snamokin region.—Stmtaiy Gasrllt. n? 1 ,st week some ot our merchanta were engaged in identifying a number of articles of dry goods which bad been stolen from their tiotes by a woman, somewhat notori ous in these .parts, residing in the country, seveial in ilea tram town. Shop lilting had been carried on by the enterprising lady lor some months previous to her detection, the articles stolen being principally cheap dry goods, to toe amount ot some forty dollars. We understand that Frilling ot Cram Fugle, E. Y. Bright & Son. and Tetter, had been contributors to her supply of clothing Alter a hearing before Squire Shindle, Sheriff Weise provided her with accommodations in the county jail; but she was subsequently baited out.—SuuA uiy Gitetle. Will not bb Argibc Down.—The Con necticut clergymen to whom President Bu char.an gave so scorching a reply, will not be put down by argument They are out again in a three column article, addressed to the President, going over very much the same ground as before; that is. that usurpation, like that in Kansas, cannot beget a valid gov ernment; and lha; by recognising the territo rial government, the President had violated his doty. These view# do not acquire any additional force by iteration. The President's answer to the first letter embraced all that was necessary to be said in reply to tte as sertion# tn the second. The controversy, *o far as he is concerned, is in all probability ended.—Leiger. iy In Pottsviile, last Saturday, William Spence was convicted of assault and battery upon Col. Siraub. and sentenced to 30 oay* in the county prison. Spence was ooe of the rioters who so seriously beat Mr. Slraub on the night of the election last October.

Dr. HARTLCT generously oflera to attend all persons suffering iron affections of the ear at his office, 700 Broadway, N. Y., without charge until oureif, thereby proving his suc cess unequal, and protecting the deaf from being swindled by paying sell-styled auriats exhorbitanl fees in advance, and the infliction of still more serious evils by permitting the applioation or dangerous remedies by inex perienced and unskilful hands. Dr. H. may here state that hekas noconnectipn whatever with any persou .advertising to cure deafness, neither has he giren permission for the pub- I lication of a certificate purporting to emenate from him, and cainot, therefore be responsi ble from any alarming consequences resulting from rashness and desperation. The less of money may not be material to some persons, but the deprivation of one of the most im portant ol the senses ought to be regarded and treated with more than ordinary solici tude. Deafness, noise in the head, and al| disagreeable discharges from the ear speedily and permanently removed, without causing the least pain 01 inconvenience. A cure in all cases guaranteed where malformation does not exist. Thirteen years' close and almost undivided attention to tl?fs branch of special practice has enabled him to reduce hia treat ment to such a', degree ol success as to find l the most confirmed and obstinate oases yield I by a steady attention to the means prescribed I The following testimonials are submitted , with confidence.
