FOR SURVEYOR GENERAL, Jl'liN IIOW'E, OF FRANKLIN COL'NTV. ~TUE STATE CAMPAIGN. ~ The lime is drawing nigh when the De •mocracy should buckle on their armor and prepare for political battle. They need, in order to insure success, to present a solid and fearless front, and meet the exigencies with a fixed determination of coming out of lite -campaign conqueror. This can bo accom plished by each man performing his part of the labor. Every member of the Demo cratic party should feel it his duty to engage in the work, and use all his efforts to main tain and cherish the principles of his party. The coming contest is an important one. •and there should be no shrinking from duty, at great uunpcqucnoak rot upon the 'result of this election, and the party must exhibit by fearless and honest actions that they are able and willing to meet the issues of the day and decide them in accordance with the programme laid down at the late Democratic State Convention. We clip from the Pennsyluaniar. the fol lowing, which suits our fancy pretty well; and we do riot hesitate in saying that it will meet the approbation ot our readers: " We have a State Ticket which has ex totted compliments even trom the opposi tion. Richardson L. Wright has served the people of this city and county for a number j of years in a legislative capacity, and won ' universal approbation for the uprightness of | his actions, and the honesty of his motives, while tiie reriomiualiou of Mr. Ruwe, the present efficient Surveyor General will add strength to the ticket in all parts of the State. The selection of these persons by the Convention is a proof that the Delenutea were honest, just and proper men, who in their choice of candidates looked to the' standing and fitness of the nominees to ful- | fil the ditties incumbent upon them if elect- j ed, as well as their standing as Democrats t and party men. The party demanded an unexceptionable ticket. They claimed as a 1 right that the Democracy should not be I called upon to vote lor candidates upon i whose character there rested a single taint or suspicion. Jf the battle is to be" a fierce j one, lite rank and file asked that their lead- ! ers should be worthy of the post assigned thern, and competent to lead in the hour of I difficulty and danger. Such men have been J selected, and so far as the Staie ticket is ] concerned, the Democracy of Penneylva- I nia was never in a heller condition for an j animated and successful contest. iiie pariy piauorm is also entirely accep table to the democracy. We have not heard j a single Democrat object to the action of' the State Convention upon the Resolutions, ; while the Democratic press of the Com- 1 monwealth is enthusiastic and exultant up- ; on this subject. The Resolutions embrace all those questions which the Convention I was called upon to notice, and they are i treated in a manner well calculated to con vince the mass of the paMy of their cor rectness and enlist them in .'their delence.— j Upon the Cuba question, the settlement of \ the Tariff controversy, and ail the other is sues touched, the expressions ol party opin- | ion are eminently sound and National, while j at the same lime they have the ring of the home Pennsylvania metal. They demon- j strate the fact that the party in the old Key stone State can he true to itself, anil at the 1 same time in full fellowship with the sound party men in every other section of the 1 Union. 1 his was the patriotic feeling which I animated the De.egates to the late Cenveu- j tion at llarrishurg, this the basis of that ac- j lion which made the delegates a unit upon j all the important resolutions adopted by ; lliat body, and set lortii as the voice of the \ patty in this Commonwealth. While, there- I lore, the candidates selected are such as to command the respect and challenge the j support ol all those who have the interests j of the State at heart, the resolutions are ol i such a character as will consolidate all true ' Democrats into one body, and thus make i tneir action or great power wnen ctrecred • against the common enemy. From the facts stated it is apparent that j the Democracy are in just such a condition ! as demands a hold, unyielding light. The j Convention when called upon did not hesi- ! tate to mark out the line between the true i friends of the party, and those who from motives of personal ambition, or more sor did objects have deserted the old parly ban- ( nor to serve under that of the Opposition.— : The Democracy would not endorse the Governor—and his Attorney General was openly denounced—because both these offi cials have been notoriously unfaithful to the party and its principles. This was decided j action, but it was demanded by the circunt- I stances surrounding the party at this lime, 1 and necessary to insure the discipline of the i Democracy and thus fit them to encounter i file allied lorces with a certainty of success. J The path marked out by the Convention j must he followed by the purty in conducting ihe campaign. There must be no shrinking ! ltom duty. Whatever is necessary to be done, must he done promptly. The lines of party action must lie traced with a clear eye and steady hand. We have cast off much of the useless matter which has gath ered around the party and impeded its pro- j gress, arid if if he necessary to free it Irom j still more, the proper persons must not omit j file perlounar.ee of tins important duty.—j We need a live party, a united, harmonious l Democracy, intent upon the same great ob jects and inspired by a common bond of de votion aud patriotism. This can be reached only by each man doing his part of the work as the delegates to the State Conven tion performed theirs. With the past opin ions of honest, faithful Democrats we have nothing to do. If they have kept within the parly, their right of opinion aud expres sion is undenied. This is what the State Convention proclaimed, and its voice must constituie the basis of all subsequent par y action. Into the future, which is filled with the questions officially promulgated from the Slate Convention, lies the path of the Pennsylvania democracy Great consequen ces hat'g upon the result of the coming State campaign, and the parly must show by hold, (rank deeds that they are compe tent to meet ttie issues and decide them in accordance with the piPgramme laid down by the State Convention. Let us have a bold, decided, vigorous campaign, and the victory is ours. Acmcultuhal Fairs in' 1859 —The iljont gomery County Agricultural Society have fixed upon Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, the 4th, sth and 6ifi of October next, as the time for holding their next An nual Exhibition. The Louisiana Free IVegft-Law. The Now Orleans Picayune Una the follow ing comment upon an unnecessarily harsh ami injudicious law just enacted by the Legislature oi Louisiana, in regard to color ed seamen:— We have already expressed our belief in the importance ofthis enactment, especially in view of its effects upon the commerce ol this port. The controversy with foreign governments in regard to the treaty rights of their colored seamen, had been satisfac tory adjusted by the liberal legislation of the State, which has permitted them to en ter, remaining 011 board of the vessels, but Willi permission to land on the business of the ship, under the permits of municipal au thorities, with sureties for their good con duel and return. No evil has been experi enced or complained of in the working of these regulations; and it is a pity that they should have been disturbed. Under the new law every such negro arriving must be taken from the vessel and imprisoned on shore at the charge of the owners, and only released afier expenses paid and bonds giv en, within twenty four hours before sailing. It makes a new obstruction to the commerce of the port, and it opens, unnecessarily, a controversy oi a very embarrassing charac ter. We have no sort of doubt of the full right of the State to make sttclt enactments, to regulate, or prohibit altogether, the ad mission into Louisiana of any class of per sons who may be thought to be unsafe or unlit residents. But, in view of the compli cated relations which that question hears to the federal and to foreign authorities, it is a right which ought only to be exercised when it becomes really important to con serve Slate interests. It is not wise or ex pedient to bring it into excreise, unless j there is some real grievance to be remedied |or some real danger to be avoided. Neither j emergency has heen'shown to exist, requi- j j ring the abrupt change of mild legislation, i . that has been found to work well, and to re- ' quire the rigid incarceration on shore of every colored seamen or servant that ar rives here on foreign vessels. ■GROW AND FORNEY. —The Scranton (Lu zerne County) Herald says that the Repnb licans were more anxious to meet Col. FOR NEY in private caucus, at that place on the 23d ult., than to hear his lecture about de funct statesmen. It reports Mr. GROW as being every where present to greet Mr. FOR NEY—leaving others to make lite inference, and judge ol secret inducements which ap pear to have a mutual control over either. THE RIGHT REV. SAMUEL BOWMAN, D. D., Assistant Bishop of the Episcopal Church in the Diocese of Pennsylvania, made his first visit to lite parish of Christ Church, Reading, on Tuesday evening last, lite 29th ult., and administered lite rile of Confirma tion to nineteen candidates—four males and filteeu females. The solemn and interest ing ceremony was witnessed by a large congregation.

I LOCOMOTIVE EXPLOSION. —On Wednesday j morning last, the locomotive l'erkiomen, ' one of the largest coal-burners on the Road- I ing Railroad, exploded near the falls bridge, : live miles above Philadelphia, the fireman ! was blown within a lew feet of the river, 1 and instantly killed. The engineer must i have been blown into the Schuylkill, as his ! body has not been found, llis hat was i r ound on the roof of a house near the scene ! ol the disaster. The engine had just un dergone the operation of "pumping," but \ something must have been wrong with the | valves, as it is fully believed that the explo ' sioti was caused by a deficiency of water, j The engine was in good condition, but is ! now a total wreck—the most terribly man ! g'ed piece of machinery we ever saw. Such ' explosions are terrible, and seem of late to j be more frequent than formerly.— l'otliville ; Record. GENERAL CAMERON does not hesitate to say, that Packer must enter the ranks and wear a knapsack il he comes over to the J Republicans. Tliey know him to well to i allow him to take the rank of au officer. | General Cameron has a most intimate knowledge of the character and antecedents J of Packer, and since the Democratic Con | veution, he lias declared without reserva- | J lion, that the Governor received nothing ! more than his deserts when he was public |ly repudiated. Tliey see that Packer could i add no strenght to the Republican parly, j while his accession might prove a dead ! weight.

THE GROWING CROPS. —Texas papers, from Austin, Gonzales, Victoria and Mata gorda, give the most cheering accounts of the wheat and corn crops, and predict a bountiful harvest. From Ohio and parts of Illinois, also, the papers report the wheat as presenting a thriving appearance, and cov ering much larger area than was sown last year.

TIIE STATE CENTRAL COMMITTEE.—A meet ing of the Nate Central Committee will be held at the Merchants' Hotel,' Philadelphia, on Thursday next, the 7th, at 10 A. M., lor the purpose of organization, and other business of importance to the Party. ROBERT TYLER, April 2, 1859. Chairman. Jefferson's Birtlidny. The citizens of Boston are considering the propriety of celebrating the birthday of Thomas Jefferson, which occurred on April 2. 1843, O. S., or April 13, N. S. The sug gestion is a good one, for the illustrious au thor of the Declaration is justly entitled to grateful remembrance of the American peo ple. The Bostonian custom ol seizing upon many of these important anniversaries and celebrating them in a manner which fre quently commands the admiration of the whole country, by the rich display of gen ius evoked, is worthy of imitation in other localities. The Boston Post says : "This anniversary was first celebrated in 1830, and with great eclat, in Washington, when Jefferson's friend and correspondent, the venerable John Roane, officiated as pre sident, who was toasted as the only surviving elector of the first President; and Felix Grundy, C. C. Crambreling, and Levi Wood bury w ere of the vice presidents. Col. Ben ton took great interest in this celebration ; und besides making a speech, obtained a toast from John Randolph. In a letter com municating the toast to the press, he express ed his satisfaction at being the means of connecting the "name of the matadore of the old Republican party with the history of l\ic first celebration of Mr. Jefferson's birth day." The toast was: "The principle which Mr. Jefferson brought into power—the touch stone of the old Republican party." It will be recollected that Mr. Randolph went into opposition under Mr. Jefferson's Admin istration." "At the close of Col. Benton's speech on this brilliant festival, he predicted that it was the first in a series of celebrations which the friends and admirers of Jefferson would cherish and perpetuate for the double object of stiowing honor to him and preserv ing his principles for themselves ; and his toast- was : "The Birth Day of Thomas Jef ferson—May its anniversary celebration ex- , tend through all lime, and spread through all the borders of the Republic." SARZA.— We have long supposed this celebrated drug, had come to be an explo- i tied humbug, but we are assured by those ! skilled in the healing art, that not the Sar- I suparilla itself is to be blamed for this con- j elusion, but the miserable worthless pre parations of it, that have been palmed off! upon the community—preparations which contain about as much of its virtues as they do of gold dust. It is a commercial fact that almost all of the Sarsapariila gathered in the world, is consumed in the old coun tries of Europo, where the science of medi cine, has reached its* highest perfection, and where they know the best what to em- ; ploy for the mastery of diease. Hence we j are glad to find that we ars now to J have a compound of this excellent aileron- j live, which can be relied on, and our com- I munity will not need be assured, that any thing DUCT. AVER makes, is worthy of their confidence. He hno been for yeafs engag ed in eliminating this remedy (see adv'g cols,)designing to make it his "chef d'ouvre' which should add the crowing glory to his already enviable reputation.

Tits FULI.Y AND MALICE OP MANKIND One finds out the folly and malice of man kind by the impertinence of friends—by their professions of service and lenders of advice—by their fears for your reputation and anticipations of what the world may say of jou; by which means they suggest objections to your enemies, and at the same time absolve themselves from the task of justifying your errors, by having warned you of the consequences—by the care with which they tell you ill news, and conceal from you anjjgflattering circumstance—by their dread of your engaging in any credit able attempt, and mortification if you suc ceed—by the difficulties and hindrances they throw in your way—by their lukewarm neps in defending, by their readiness in be traying you—by the high standard by which they try you, and to which you can hardly ever come up—by their forwardness to par take your triumphs, by their backwardness to share your disgrace—by their acknowl edgment of your errors out of candor, and suppression of your good qualities out ot Pltvy —by their not contradicting, or by their joining in the cry against you, lest they, 100, should become objects of the same abuse —by their playing the game into your adversaries' hands, by always letting their imaginations take yoo with their cowardice, their vanity and selfishness against you ; and.Alius realizing and hastening all the ill consequences tliey affect to deplore by spreading abroad that very distrust, oblo quy and hatred, which they predicted would be excited against you. SINGULAR CAUSE OK DEATH. —About a week since, Ellen Vatighaii, a domestic, at a hotel in Troy, N.

MARINE DISASTERS FOR MARCH. —Thero were 35 American sea going vessels of all classes reported during last month as total- Jy lost and missing. The list comprises 1 steamer, 4 ships, 3 barks, 7 brigs, and 21 schooners. 01 these 21 were wrecked, 3 sunk, C abandoned, 2 burnt, and 3 are miss ing. Their total value may be estimated at übout $350,000, exclusive of their cargoes / portions of which have been saved. THE TRIAL of the Hon. Daniel E.

M , for the purpose of giving an expression to theiT views in re gard to the procee<ings of the recent De mocratic State Convention, and to ratify and confirm the same. Never were more de termined Democrats assembled in counsel in this county. Nit a dissenting voice was heard through all the proceedings, which augurs well for tho 1 unity of the Democratic party in this count|. The meeting was call ed lo order by Joht V. Smith, Chuiiman of the County Comnittee. David Patrick, of Falls was chosen (President, and Thomas Osterhbut, John L*e, H. W. Fasset, Squire Sampson, L. C. (bnklin, John Jackson, P. W. Redfield and C D. Gearheart, Vies Pres idents. On motioi, Alvin Day and Jacob Dewitt were chottn Secretaries; and the following named persons appointed a Com mittee to draft resfiutions expressive of the sentiment of thejnmiiing. viz: —Hon. R. R Little, Geo. S-'utSi^Win, F. Terry, John V. Smith, Hon. Vtla. M. Piatt, H. H. Wal ter, D. D. Dewittfnd Z. Billings. After a short absence, tin Committee appeared and reported, Chairman, the fol lowing preamble' and resolutions, which were adopted WI)IIJUT A DISSENTINU VOICE. WHEREAS, effojs are being made by cer tain men callinglhemselves Democrats, to create and discord in the Dem ocratic party of tjis State—men who in pur suance of such iiler.t, have without any au thority from thepeople, and contrary to es tablished usage published a call for a Con vention to be liejkl on the 13th day of April next, to reversd the action of the recent Democratic Stab Convention at Harrisburg; therefore, Resolved Thatfe cordially endorse the pro ceedings of Democratic State Con vention at only in respect to its nominatiolKrf candidates, and its res olution of endorsement and approval of the present Federal Administration, but also in its honest condemnalon and scathing denuncia tion of that present (governor of Pennsylvania— that the Democrats \"f this State had already withheld 100 long a tpld and fearless expression of their disapprobation of his repealed acts of betrayul of the trust 'which they had confided to him. „ 1 Resolved, That tie call for another Con vention by the frieuds of Gov. Packer, with the view of procuring, if possible, an en-, dorsement of his administration is unauthor ized by the Democratic party—in direct conflict with its duly authorized action upon that subject—contrary to sound precedent, arid in case such Convention shall assemble it cannot be considered a Democratic Con vention, authvflff '9 represent thp Demo cratic party Stale. The Democrat, in publishing the proceed ings, says they are a true reflex of the sen timent of the Democracy of that county and will be ratified at the polls in October next, by an overwhelming Democratic majority; that the Wyoming Democrats are not pre pared to desert the time-honored principles and usuages of the party, nor to abandon those ancient landmarks of equal and exact justice, handed down by a JEFFERSON and a JACKSON ; that no bogus Convention, no dis contented spirits who have failed lo receive the applause of "well done good and faith servarit," will be able to make inroads upon the Democratic parly in that county ; that they stand as unit in favor of tne principles of our party in their original purity, and will come up in one solid column lo vindi cate them at the ballot-box. Many of our catf||llrovill recognize among the officers of tlfc mooting and committee men. some of the most prominent and in fluential Democrats of Wyoming, men of character and talents, who have represent ed the county and district in the House and Senate, are known and respected through out the State. Among them, too, were those who, when the Lecompton question was a live and unsettled issue, were what were known as Anti-Lecomptonites; but thoy, with all other good Democrats, now con sider that matter settled and gone, never again to be agitated except by renegades and disorganizes, and, therefore, go earn estly for maintaining the unity aud integrity of the Democratic organization. The meeting was ably addressed by the Hon. R. R. Little, Hon. W. M. Piatt. Jacob Dewitt and Geo. S. Tuton, who expressed their cordial and decided approbation of the action of iKo i/v State Con vention, and exhorted ail true Democrats lo stand by the ticket nominated. Messrs. Piatt and Tuton, (according to the Democrat) were particularly severe in condemnation of the course of Governor Packer in interfering last fall through his Attorney General, Knox, and others, in hehalf of the opponents of the Democratic party.— Pennsylvania!!, A YOUNU wife remonstrated with her hus band, a dissipated spendthrift, on his con duct.

We early-pointed out the character of h large number of the men whose names were attached to the "Call" for a Bogus Stale Convention. The exhibit we made showed most conclusively that a majority of the movers in this scheme to aid the Black Republicahs, were persons who had opposed the Democratic parly, numbers of them members of the Kiiow-Nothing Order, and all willing to perform any act which would injure the Democracy, and give as sistance lo the opposition. Our Democratic cotempories in the interior have also been engaged in uneartjiingthe political pedigrees of the abettors ol Knox, Forney and Lau l man,and proving the Anti-Democratic stand ing of these men. But the most pointed ar ticle which has met our eye upon this sub ject, is the following from tho Miner's Ga zette, published at Ashland,Schuylkill county. After inserting a communication which ap peared in Forney's Press, dated Ashland, 26th March, signed by six persons who are in favor of the Bogus Convention, the Ga zelle says:— Wo have always been under the impres sion that editors and of newspa pers never publish communications wittiout a knowledge of the author, but we find in this we are mistaken. The author ot the above communication, or rather the first name on the list, is Dr. Bobbs, alias Boggs, well known in this and adjoining counties as a very ludicrous specimen of a colored gentleman, black as erebus. So much for the first signer of this communication. The next name on the list is Jacob Danes, better known as "Gen." He, also, has been a public character for years in the capacity of a hostler. He can most any time be seen in tho vicinity of some ot the I'ottsville hotels. He will certainly be quite a feature in Forney's Convention. Next comes another colored gentleman (Solomon Williams.) He, too, has been an hostler in this county for many years, known by nearly every white man in this vicinity. "Sol" is opposed to the Adminis tration and the extension of slavery, and no doubt will add much strength lo the aboli tion features of the next Convention. The other three public names, which are signed to the communication are parties un known to us. We think their residence must be either in the Isle of sky or Airshire ; however, be that as it may,the communica tion is deserving of marked attention from the Democratic papers of the Slates. If the other communications in the Press are of a similar import to the foregoing, Forney's Convention must be successful.— If there is an equal ratio of sable gents (such as Dr. Boggs and Sol Williams) in the Con vention, we will certainly expect to be de feated, as an Amalgamation Convention will carry with it all the nigger stealers, &c., in the State. The Gelin's Grove Times, the Democratic organ of Snyder county.notices the fact that H. P. Hotteustein and Nathaniel Moyer of that county have signed their names to the "Call" for the Bogus Convention. As to Mr. Hottenstein, the limes says, 1 he nearly went cra/y because he was disappointed in getting the post office in this place. No man ever made stronger efforts to get an of fice from Uncle Sam than he did, and no man ever abused poor old Uncle Sam more since his disappointment; though his influ ence wouldn't change one vole besides his own, in the county, and Mr. Moyer was disappointed in getting the appointment of Supervisor on the Susquehanna division of the canal, which has very much soured his temper." This accounts in a satisfactory manner for the conduct of the two gentle men from Snyder county, and as for the dis tinguished colored persons from Schuylkill they are naturally attracted towards their friends. If this is the material out of which the Bogus Convention is to be formed, the Democracy have nothing to fear. The in teligent voters of Pennsylvania cannot be misled by such a parti-colored assemblage Hollowuy's Ointment and Pills.—Be cau tious—The criteron by which to test the genuineness of the preparations, is the wat er-mark, manufactures in the paperof which the books of directions are composed If on each leaf, when held up to die light, the words "Holloway, New York and Lon don," are conspicuous, the article is the "real Simon Pure." if this irade-mark is wanting, the stud' is a pernicious imitation. We see it is admitted by the " London Med ical Ueview" and "The Lancet" that the Ointment has recently produced most un looked-for results (unlooked for by the pro• jessirm at least); in cases of palsy, paralysis, stiir joint, hip disease, rheumatism and neuralgia.
