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.

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.

I LOCOMOTIVE EXPLOSION. —On Wednesday

' one of the largest coal-burners on the Road-

: 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

' explosions are terrible, and seem of late to
j be more frequent than formerly.— l'otliville

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. American Celt,

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. Y., had her ears
perforated for ear-rings in lite usual manner,
but oil lite following day the ears commenc
ed to swell, then the head, and the swelling
and inflammation increased until she be
came blind and deaf, and, finally, erysipe
las set in, under which she suffered terribly
for three days, when death put an end to
her torture.
MARINE DISASTERS FOR MARCH. —Thero
were 35 American sea going vessels of all

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

termined Democrats assembled in counsel
in this county. Nit a dissenting voice was

augurs well for tho 1 unity of the Democratic

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!!,

'Hie Bogus Convention.
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.
