Weiker; and Snyder for Major Keller.
The balloting continued with various
changes, during tho afternoon. The name

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

"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.

WIIAT IS DEMOCRACY.
•-
T Democracy represorita the great princi
, pies of progress. It is onward and outward
in its movements. 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

Wilmot'. 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. As the
Sheriff was taking bun from the Court House
to the Jail, he broke loose and escaped ! He
has not yet been caught.

Partial Uitrien and Dlaoharge* from the
Ear.
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
