The Opposition.
This is the most appropriate title the op
ponents of Democracy ever assumed ; for it
matters not what the Democratic parly may
do, they will oppose every measure. It has
become perfectly natural for them to be
averse to all good doctrine. But, what
name, slyle or title the opponents of the
Democratic parly will assume Ju liy; com
er, g national campaign, time only can de
lei mine. The Democratic parly is a fixed
lact in the past and present history- of the
Republic, it is founded upon immutable
principles, coeval and interwoven with the
organization of the inlistutions of the coun
try. Its doctrines are embodied in the Dec
laration of Independence and the Cons'i
tulion of the United States. Upon a basis
so solid and impregnable the waves ol Op
position beat in vain. Whether iti munici
pal, State, or Federal election, the issues
presented and supported by the Democracy
are essentially the same. Hence the unity
of this great party, which is, as it always
has been, and will continue to be, the ex
ponent and support of the invaluable polit
ical inheritance handed down to us by our
forefathers, and which it is the imperative
duty of every man enjoying its blessings to
-cherish, protect, and procure.
What do the Opposition, or the various
factions that compose it at the present day,
present to the people as reasons for chang
ing a system which has been so fully tried,
and worked so well ? Tlicy have no plat
form of .principles upon which they can by
•any possibility unite; and it may be said
in truth that they have no principles in
common at all. In lact, their action is the
•effect of playing their part on the political
-chess board contrary to all principle and
against all the rules of right reason. The
-doctrines of Black Republicanism, of Abo
litionism, of Know Nolhingism, are discord
-ant with each other, and have nothing in
common, except in the indisputable fact
that they are each and all in plain violation
of the provisions of the Constitution of the
United States, and utterly subversive of its
vitality. The endorsement of the heresies
-of any of these factious by the people
through the ballot box would be at once the
annulment of that glorious instrument—the
sheet-anchor of the Federal Government—
and the death-knell of constitutional liberty
and Union. Happily, however, in the pres
ent enlightened state of the world, such a
result is little to be apprehended.
The emigrant from the Old World who
finds here a home free from the troubles
and vexations which exacting governments
there subject him to, is not likely lo give
his vote to Know-Nolhingism, which, if
•established, would create a despotism in
this land as bad if not worse than any now
•existing in Europe. Neither will any con
servative while man, of native or foreign
birth, vote to establish the Black Republi
can fanatical doctrine of elevating the polit
ical status of the black over the white, no
matter what place might have been the
natural domicil of the latter. The extraor
dinary somersault of some of the leading
Know-Nothings, lately exhibited in their
pretended indignation about the possibility
of the infringement of the rights ol natural
ized American citizens should they volun
tarily return to the land of thoir nativity, is
so shallow as to be seen through by the
most obtuse mind,and is simply ridiculous.
It is certainly a fair inference, that those
"who have formed (secret (political associa
tions, and have combined together, under
the solemnity of the most disgusting oaths,
to do all in their power to deprive the natu
ralized citizens, and even their children, of
the rights guarantied to them under the
Constitution whilst residing here, would,
had they the control of the National Ad
ministration, give little, if any, attention to
their rights elsewhere.
That the Opposition calculate largely up
on the influence of their arts and deceptions
il securing a portion ol the naturalized vo
ters as supporters in the next campaign, is
very evident. Bat they miscalculate the in
telligence ol tho-e of ourcitizens, as they do
and always have misjudged the political
knowledge of the masses ; and they will
find that the result of the canvass will dis
close what all observing men know—that
the principles of the Democratic party are
-daily taking deeper and deeper root in the
popular heart of both native and adopted
•citizens. As to the latter, so long as the
outrages perpetrated by or in the name of
Natives and Know-Nothings in Philadelphia,
Baltimore, Washington, Louisville, and New
Orleans are remembered, every reflecting
mind among them must be convinced that
the true ark of personal and political rights
exists in the continued supremacy of tho
Democratic party and in it alone.
There is another class of men in the Op
position knotvn as the " bolters" from
the Democratic parly. They are, however,
destitute of any pretentions to principles of
any kind. Disappointed in their aspirations
for power and place, and finding that their
merits and abilities were not appreciated
as highly as they themselves valued them,
they exhaost their spleen in vain efforts to
overthrow the party it was their boast to be
connected with. Like tho renegade, who,
it is said, is worse titan ten Turks, these un
fortunate men have placed themselves in a
position where they can do no benefit to
themselves, and no harm to the great party
which once may itave fostered them.
FATAL IMDIiJiT.
On last Friday, July loth, Mr. I. N Nitres
OLS, of Berwick, was at Rupert Station, and
while attempting to get upon a moving train
ofcnrs, on ihc I aclcnwanna & Bloomsburg
Rail Road, met with an accident, which
caused his death, in the course of a'few
hours. The facts ojt this > lamentable acci
dent, as near as we can learn, are as follows;
Mr. NICHOLS, standing near the track,
while the train was slowly moving by,
placed his hands upon the rear end, of the
tender, and stepping along to make, sure
his bound upon the moving train, slipped;
his left foot being caught, by one of the
driving wheels, was completely cut and
smashed; at the same time bringing the
right leg under the wheel, which was cut
off at the knee. The train was almost instant
ly stopped, when two men sprang from it to
the assistance of the wounded man : and
upon picking him tip they discovered that
his injuries were ol a very serious character.
The train was then immediately dispatched,
in great haste, to Citttawissa for a physician,
and the services of Dr. J K DOBBINS were
procured; at the same time a messenger was
sent to Bloomsburg for medical assistance
and Drs. F. C. HARRISON and A. T. B.IUN
-11 AOK "W ■' snt*ited who were with the suf
fering man in less than an honrafter the ac
cident occurred, at'the peril of their horse's
life. As soon as proper arrangements could
be made for conveying the wounded man,
he was taken to the public house of Messrs.
CONN EN & EVERETT, where kind attention
was paid him The casualty, from the facts
above stated, was entirely accidental
Mis remains were taken to Berwick and
interred at that place on last Sabbath by tho
Independent Order of Old Fellows, of which
order lie was a much respected member.—
He leaves a wife and two young children to
lament his untimely end ; nod by his death
they lose a kind and affectionate parent
His remains now repose in the giave, and
the circumstances of his suflden death ad
monish us of the uncenainty of human life.
Again is the adage truly verified that, "ver
ily in the midst of life we are in death."
Dentil of Ruftts Chonte.
The Hon. Rufus Clioale of Massachusetts,
died at Halifax early on la-t Wednesday
morning, of an attack of heart disease.—
The intelligence has caused a deep feeling
of regret throughout the Union Mr. Choate
was New England's greatest lawyer, and
perhaps, her greatest orator. He was bom
a; Essex, a small town in Essex county,
Mass , October 1, 1799 ; graduated at Dart
mouth College in 1819 ; and was admitted
to the liar in 1824. His professional rise
was remarkably rapid, for at the outset he
possessed a large share of the legal ability
for which lie afterwards became eminently
distinguished. Previous to 1832 ho had
served as a member in each branch of the
Massachusetts Legislature, and in that year
| ho was elected to Congress, where he serv
| ed one term, and declined a re-election.—
! He removed to Boston in 1834, lor the pur
pose of enlarging his practice as a lawyer,
and during the succeeding eight years de
voted himself assiduously to his profession,
winning many remarkable triumphs, and
an extended reputation. In February 1841,
he was elected lo fill the unexpired term of
Mr. Webster, as United States Senator, and
he remained in the Senate till March, 1845.
During his Senatorial career lie delivered
several very able speeches, which at
tracted much attention. But he gladly re
turned to the practice ol his profession,
and since 1843 has held no important office.
Daring the last ten years his addresses on
public questions and on public occasions
have, perhaps, commanded more general
attention than those of any other citizen of
the Republic. Mr. Choate was always po
litically associated with organizations hos
tile to the Democratic party, until 1856,
when he joined the great body of conserva
tive men of the Union in advocacy ol
National principles. His great speech in
that year in support of Mr. Bucl.nnnan
exercised a powerlul influence upon the
canvass, and was one ol the most effective
political addresses ever delivered. As a
lawyer he was pre eminent, excelling in all
the duties of his profession, and being alike
superior in his method of examining wit
nesses, hi* discussion of law questions,
his addresses to the jurors, and j dges, and
in the general management of the cases
entrusted to hint. He habitually enlisted
all his energies whenever he assumed the
position of counsel, without reference to
the impottance of tho issue involved, and
•by ltis industry, unwearied application, and
extraordinary talents, accquired a greater
renown as an advocate than any lawyer,
now living in America.
Mr. Choato failed a month since for Eu
rope, to regain his health, but did not pro
coed fttrtlrer than Halifax, where he re
mained quite feeble, but not so prostrate as
to alarm his friends, until Tuesday evening
previous to his death, about 6 o'clock, when
•lie was seized with an attack of the disease
to which he was subject, which terminated
his existence in a few hours. His remains
were sent to Boston, via. Windsor and St.
John, for interment.
We were sorry to learn that Col. 11. A.
FONDA, the most excellent Superintendent of
the Cattawissa, Williamsport & Erie R, R.,
was badly injured not long since, by run
ning a large nail in his foot in jumping from
the cars at Cattawissa Station. Ho has been
unable to be about, and has suffered a great
deal of pain. It was feared for a time that
the lock-jaw might ensue, but it is sincerly
hoped that will not bo the case. It is
a vory painful wound, and as dangerous as
it is painful. A belter mat) than Col. F. for
the position he assumes cannot be fouud in
Pennsylvania, and is rarely to be found in
any other State.
THE SCIENTIFIC ARTISAN, published atCin
cinnati, Ohio, is an excellent paper. It is,
we believe, devoted exclusively to science,
art, discovery and invention. It is hand
somely printed, and is the same size of the
Scientific American published in New York.
The ARTISAN is in its first volume. Success
to it. See prospectus in another column.
Kansas to Enter- tho Union Democratic.
We stared a few necks ago, upon infor
mation deemed reliable, that chances were
multiplying that Kansas would enter the
Union upon tho.side of die Democracy.—
The Herald of Freedom, published at Law
rence, in examining the result of the recent
conventional election, closes a long
upon the subject with the lollowing para
graph :
"We are conscious that we shall be charg
ed with a desire fo play into the hands of
the Democracy because of this article. Our
design is to show our friends in the States
' the great strength (?) of the Republican par
ty in Kansas, and show how much has
been gained by proving false lo pledges,
and organizing a new party with new tests,
for tho purpose of giving 'aid and comfort'
to a party outside of Kansas. We mean to
say further, that the late vote is significant of
the future, and renders the prospect of a
final Democratic triumph more than proba
ble, and the sending up ol a Democratic
Delegate to Congress in the fall, and finally
one Democra'ic Representative and two
Democratic Senators to Congress, under
our State organization."
THE ALLENTOWN DEMOCRAT oomes to us
-with a'noK and new dweas-, in honor
of the "first appearance" of its new editor,
C. F. Haines, Esq., who "defines his posi
tion" in a well-written introductory article,
from which we extract the following sensi
ble paragraph:
"The Lecompton issue we regard as dead,
a by-gone—legitimately disposed of by the
President, Congress, and the people of Kan
sas, and we can perceive no sufficient
ground for present or future division among
Democrats on the slavery question. Let
the platform ol the party which recognizes
the Constitution ns the supreme law in
States and Territories, on this and all other
national questions, be faithfully adhered to,
and the Democracy of the North and the
South, and the East and the West, will
again be one. Approving o! the general
policy, foreign and domestic, of President
Buchanan's Administration, which has met
with fall and hearty endorsement from the
Democracy ofourown arid sister Slates, and
believing it to he devoted lo the welfare
and honor of the nation, the right and inter
ests of all sections, the Democrat will give
it a cordial and earnest support. We re
gard the Cincinnati platform as expressing
the tenets of the party, and whoever stands
thereon we deem a political brother." I
While re-iterating our regret at the re
tirement ol Mr. Hnunum—an industrious
editor and honest man—from the control of
tho Democrat, we cordially welcome his suc
cessor into the ranks, and hope that the pa
per will continue to be the same straight
forward and undeviating advocate of correct
Domocratic doctriue that it heretofore has
been.
The New York Tribune is credibly in
lormed from various Bourses that the Hon.
Daniel K. Sickles has become entirely rec
onciled with his wife, and is nowliving with
her in marital relations as before the death
of the late r. Key. The Tribune is also as
sured that in taking this remarkable step,
Mr. Sickles has alienated himself from most
if not all of those personal and political
friends who devotedly adhered to him du
ring his recent imprisonment and trial.
The reconciliation between Mr. and Mrs.
Sickles was consummated while Mr. S. was
residing at the house of a triend on the
Bloomingdale Road, about half a mile from
the former house of Mr S , which for some
time past Mrs. Sickiss has occupied, either
alone or with some of the members of her
own family. The suspicions of his host
were excited by the repealed absence of Mr.
S. at unusual hours; and when he came
in very early one morning, he was inter
rogated by the host and another friend who
was present, and on his positively denying
their right to question him, and refusing to
give an explanation, they shook hands with
him for the last time and he withdrew. It
is said that he since addressed letters to his
former intimate associates, notifying them
formally of the resumption of conjugal rela
tions between himself and Mrs. Sickles.
WRITING TOR THE I'RKSS—There is no
class of people more frequently snoored nt
than editors. It is the easiest thing in the
world to charge them with being mercena
ry ; to say that anybody can have anything
praised or abused in a paper, if he will pay
for it ; and, says a wiseacre every now and
then, "If I had a newspaper here, wouldn't
I pitch into this or that, and wouldn't I show
the people what an independent paper is?"
Well, my friend and pitcher, why not estab
lish a paper and "pilch into every thing
and everybody ?" Nobody can object to
your doing so. The papers that are in tho
habit of pitching into everything are the
easiest edited in the world. It is only well
practiced and matured editors that possess
that wisdom and true independence which
consist in refusing to "pitch in that man
liness which can withstand a public clam
or, that can scorn personalities, and thnt
can treat public questions with the dignity
nnd soberness that can nlone secure respect
for the press.— Printers' News Letter.

The Naturalization Question—Opinion of
Judge lilatk.
WASHINGTON, July 17. —Previous to the
preparation of tho recent official letter to our
Minister at Berlin, instructing him to de
mand. of tho Hanover Government the sur
render of Mr. Ernst, Attorney-General Black,
at the request of the President, rendered an
opinion in the case maintaining the gener
al right of expatriation as incontestible, and
that in regard to the protection of our citi
zens in their rights at home and abroad, we
have no law which divides them into class
es or makes any difference whatever be
tween them ; that a native and a natural
ized American citizen may therefore, go
forth with equal security over sea and thro'
! every land under Heaven, including the
country in which tho latter was born. Either
of them may be taken for debt contracted,
or a crime committed by him, but both are
absolutely free from all political obligations
to every country but their own. They are
both American citizens, and their exclusive
allegiance is due to the Government of the
United States. In Judge Black's opinion
the Hanoverian Government cannot justify
the arrest of Mr. Ernst by showing that he
emigrated contrary to the laws of that coun
try unless it can also be proven that the
original right of expatriation depends on the
consent ol the natural sovereign, and this
last proposition he is sure no man can es
tablish,

Death of Judge Pitirusldc.
The death of Judge James Burnside, of
iielleionte, which Occurred not long since,
under peculiarly dislrcssing'circumslances,
is thus explained by a Harrisbnrg correspon
dent of the Philadelphia Bulletin :
11 A tausßUfi; July 4, 189 V.—The Bulletin of
Saturday contained a notice of the sudden
and awful death of Hon. Jas. Burnside, of
Ilellefonte, on Friday lapt. The circumstan
ces, as reported here, may further interest
your readers.
Ho had been sitting at his door, in the
evening when his nephew, Harvey Mann,
drove up in a buggy, with his mo'her, (a
sister of Judge Burnside), who had come to
pay them a vissit. The horse was a new
one, and after Mrs Mann had got out, the
Judge said to his nephew that he believed
that he would get in and take a short drive
with him. He got in, and young Mann was
about following him, when he slipped, and
touching the horse started him. The reins,
which bad been lying loose, fell and the
horse dashed rapidly down a steep, stony
street. He made a short turn at a corner at
the foot of the hill, and threw the Judge
out. He fell violently on his head. The
blood gushed from every feature, and when
he was picked up he was dying. In two
or three minutes from the time he left his
door, full of liTe, health and spirits, he was
carried back a bleeding corpse.
The event created the greatest grief and
consterna'ion in the town, where the Judge
was sincerely beloved. It is peculiarly felt
now. because on this day there was to have
been a grand Fourth of July Picnic, which
he had been instrumental in getting up,and
at which he was to read the Declaration of
Independence. Instead of being assembled
at the festival gathering, his townsmen
have probably been col lected for his funer
al.
Judge Burnside was a son of Hon. Thos.
Burnside, late Judge of the Supreme Court
of this State, and was well known as an
able and accomplished lawyer He served
creditably in the Legislature for several
terms, and, si* years ago, was chosen by
the people of his District to the position
which has just been vacated by his death.
Judge Burnside was married to a daughter
of Senator Cameron, who survives fiiin.

SALTPETRE AND PATRIOTISM.—A Fourth of
July without fire works, is the next thing to
no Fourth at all. Take away the rockets,
squibs, roman candles and all that, and there
is but little about it to distinguish it from
any other day in the year. The fact is,
"villainous saltpetre" constitutes about three
fourLhs of the glory and eclat of the occasion.

been cut, thrashed, ground, and baked into
bread in about six hours. This is a feat
that has rarely, if ever, been equalled.—

THE 6IIEAT FEATURE
Of this series of Domestic Remedies is thai
eardt paiticuhir medicine is a Specific for the
particular disease or class of diseases whose
name it bears, and may be relied upen for
ihe cute of thai particular affection. Hence,
persons suffering Irom a chronic disease or
long standing ailment, in buying a rase of
Humphreys' Specifics, obiain ihe particular
one desired in their case, und thus them
selves mike a cure which otherwise would
cost them many dollars, and no small a
mount of lime and medical attendance, if,
indeed, it conld be obtained al all.
Thus multiiudes suffer Irom Diepepeia,
Billions, Cosliveness, Bad Taste, Coaled
Tongue, and Debilily, which is perlectly
controlled and cured by ihe
DYSPEPSIA SPECIFIC.
There is scarcely a phase or lorm of this
disease which is ncl promptly eoilrolled and
ultimately cured by the use of this Specific.
Thousands who have suffered for years with
this "'Billions Condition" having purchased
a case of these Specifics have obtained a
perfect cure and immunity Irom Iheir old
complaint.
COUGHS, COLDS, AND SORE THROAT
whiah so Ireqiieiily lead to
BRONCHITIS AND CONSUMPTION,
are all in iheir early stage cured by the
COUGH PILLS.
Many cases of long standing Bronchitis and
irritating Coughs have been perfectly cured
by this Specific. But more ! many persons
have a specific liability to colds and take
them Irom the least exposure. This will be
entirely relieved by the use of the Cough
L'ills, HS scores can testify Irom experience :
So CATARRH is one of our most common
and most troublesome diseases,against which
the Old School Medicines and even Ho
meopathic prescriptions, are of little use.*—
Yet hundreds cf persons have been cured of
not only recent and fresh, but even long
standing and obstinate cases of Catarrh by
the use of this Specific.
One aged lady in Syracuse was thus per
fectly cuted of a Catarrlif which had atioyed
her all her life. Anil a young laJy al one of
our first class boarding schools, who was so
afflicted wuh this disease as to require more
than forty handkerchiefs a week, was en
tirely cured in a single week by ttlis Speci
fic. PILES,
Pleading and blind, is one of those common
obstinate forms of disease which are
so difficult to cure by (he ordinary methods,
but which find an entire fundamental cure
in the Piles Specific. True, time t reqnir.
Ed ; but the Specific is pleasant to lake, re
quires neither diet nor restraint, and being
followed up a perfect cure is ttie result.—
Hundreds of persons, in purchasing a cure
ol Specifics, havu obtained a cure for this
most trying and obstinate form of disease,
which has been worth to them ten limes the
cost of the entire set.
The case contains the best
FEVER AND AGUE SPECIEIC
known. A remedy without any deletions
or pojsonous substance, which not only
cures tne ngno, and old, mismanaged agues,
but may be relied upon as a preventive when
persona are residing in At faver and ague
district. It prevents or protects upon the
same principle that vaccination prevents
small pox or bellartonno prevents scarlet le
fever, by pre-ncciipying the system with the
true specific. Hundreds have been thus
protracted and cured.

These Specifics of Prof. Humphreys, u.-ed
for years in his extensive practice,and to the
perfection of which he has devoted the re

and study.

the lifetime of Dr. 11., no one has been or
shall be trusted with the preparation of his
Specifics, and he offers the guaranty of bis
professional lile at.d reputations that tltey
shall be just as he represents litem.
They have now been before the pub

or danger, Ihey hive become the ready re
