BTA# OF THE NORTH. WM. H. JACOBY, EDITOR. BLUOMSBCRtiT"WEDNESDAY, JULY !7, 18. Democratic Nomination*. FOR AUDITOR GENERAL, RICUARDFON L. WRIGHT, Or PHII.ADCLPHIA. FOR SURVEYOR GENERAL, JOHN HOWE, OF FRANKLIN COUNTY. Comity Offices. The county offices to be filled this fall are ol considerable importance, and should be supplied with men of the purest integrity and possessing the highest business capa cities which the county affords. A District Attorney, Treasurer, Commissioner and an Auditor will be elected this fall; and as yet, ~we have not seen a single name announced for any of these offices. The present Dis trict Attorney, it is probable, will be a can didate for re-election to that office. We can think of no man at this moment more suitable for the office than the present in cumbent. The Treasurer's office is one of iteavy responsibilities, and in the selection of a man to fill this office, great care should be exercised, that a man may be chosen who is worthy, capable and honest. The Com missioner's office seems to us one of much importance ; and it requires a man of good business qualifications to perform well the duties pertaining to the office of Commis sioner. The nomination this fall belongs geographically to one of the upper town ships. Step forward, gentlemen, and have your names announced, that the public may know who are candidates. Politics in Our County. This is a season of the year in which po litical matters are, pretty generally, at a stand-still in our county. You accost a man now-a-days on topics of a political na ture and he has no desire to engage in a conversation of this character, simply, for the reason, that it is not seasonable. (We have refference to the people throughout the county, in particular.) But engage upon most any other subject, the Fly in the Wheat for instance, and you will find that you have met a very well informed man upon that issue. This may be as it is, the time is not far distant, when politics will be the gener al gossip, and be discussed on every street corner, and in every field of labor.— Politics in onr county, as far as we can learn, are assuming a fair aspect for a tre mendous defeat to the Republican party in ;1860, say nothing about the majority in our favor this fall. The democracy are becoming more firm every day upon the grand prin ciples of the party. They are harmoniously working in one channel, shoulder to should er, furthering on the good cause in which they have enlisted. The Slale nominees are men of undoubt ed ability and character, worthy ol the en tire Democra ic support, which they shofild by all means receive. WHIGHT and ROWE are abundantly capable, in every particular, for the respective offices for which they have been nominated. Our District and county nominations will not be made until the latter part of August next. As for leg islative members the people in this county are pretty unanimous in returning Mesbrs. OAKES and JACKSON, who so ably and honest ly represented us at Harrisburg last winter 'This will be right; just what should be done. Let this suffice for the present. We will speak at further length upon this sub ject in the future.

I The War's Sew Aspect. ] The intelligence from Europe is most im i portant. Napoleon has followed up the Battle of Solferino, and the other victories in Italy, in a manner wholly unexpected. Yet those who are familiar with his uncle's pol icy might almost have anticipated what has ! happened. The policy, which spared Aus tria repeatedly, was to endeavor to make peace immediately alter he had achieved I some considerable victory. On July 7th, a fortnight after the victory at Solferino. the Emperor Napoleon offered an armistice to the Emperor of Austria The offer lias been accepted , the terms had not been arranged, but there will be a cessation of hostilities until the 15th of Au gust, which happens In be what the Ro mans call "a white day" in French history, as the ninetieth anniversary of the great Napoleon's birth. During this temporary ' peace, both armies will be strengthened, no doubt, to prepare lor the chances of renew ed hostilities Perhaps the imperial leaders themselves may meet and endeavor to adjust the differences between them. The Jl/oni leur, authoritatively expressing the Imperial will, gravely cautions France against think ing the armistice must necessarily mean peace. It leaves the field open for negotia tion. When Napoleon quitted Paris, he ex pressed the intention of making Italy free i from the Appenines to the Adriatic. Is Ife : likely to be content with less than this 1 Napoleon, as the conquering power, could | gracefully suggest the armistice, which the , Emperor of Austria, baffled, beaten, and j humbled, as he is, could not ask for Aus ] tria entered upon the War at a lime chosen Iby herself, invaded Piedmont suddenly, and, with a great superiority in numbers, j has been beaten in every encounter—beat ' en at Montebello, at Paleslro, at Magenta, |at Marignana, and at Solferino. His forces, | however numerically superior,have failed in ; the face of Europe. The armistice occurs, it | has been said, on the expected news in an other battle : " The celebrated fortified j quadrangle had been reached, Peschiera 1 had been invested, Mantua hud been mask ! ed,Verona was upon the point of being sum ; moued, Venice was threatened and Garibal j iji was maniEuvriug upon the rear of the great fortresses." At this cricis, when i some 500,000 human beings were about I destroying each other, by fire and sword, J Napoleon, actuated by humanity or policy.

ITALV, AND THE WAR OF 1659. —Giving a history of the causes of the Wae#yith Bio graphical sketches and finely engraved Por traits of its Heroes, together with the offi cial accounts of the Battles of Montebello, Palestro, Magenta : etc. etc. and Maps of Italy, Austria, and all the adjacent countries, by Mo dome Julie De Marguerites, With an introduction by Dr. R. Shelton Mickenzie, handsomely bound in one volume, (2mo. c'olh, Price SI 25. And published byTJ. G. EVANS, 436 Chestnut St., Philada. " ITALV AND THE WAR OF 1859." —This handsome volume, written by Madame Julie de Marguerittes, and suitably illustra ted with Maps and Portraits has just been published by G. G. Evans, (the original Gift Book Publisher) of Philadelphia, at the low price 51.25 and is well timed as it is well executed. The design is to show Italy in her Past and Present, to that the reader may understand on what grounds she bases her expectancy of a glorious Future, with this view the author, who has travelled largely th-ough Europe, and has resided for a considerable period in Milan, with visits to the other great cities ot Itlay, describes places with which she is acquainted, and personages whom she intimately knew.— The statistics of the various States now en gaged in hostilities, are given, with biogra phical sketches of the Sovereigns generally, and Statesmen, whom the war has thrown into prominency. A great deal of personal anecdote is introduced, which very much adds to the spirit and acceptability of the work The causes of the are fully and fairly developed, and there is appended an authentic account of the war itself up to the present time, including the official reports of the various battles, and the chivalrous exploits of General Garribaldi, the gallant Guerrilla leader. We notice that in an introduction to the work, Dr. R. Shelton Mackenzie, Literary and Foreign Eeditorof "The Press," (Phila delphia) very warmly eulogizes its designs i and execution. A copy of the Book, and a handsome present, will be sent by mail, post-paid, upon receipt ol 81.25 for the book, and 21 cents lor postage. A new Classified Catalogue of Books and Gifts, with inducements to Agents, will be sent free, on application. Address G. G. EVANS, 439 Chestnut St., Philadelphia Pa. OUR favorite agricultural journal— THE AMERICAN AGRICULTURIST— has come to hand for August. It is the most useful publica tion of the kind for the farmer now pub lished. We can not describe near all its good qualities if we were to attempt it. It treats upon every thing that is calculated to interest and benefit the tiller of the soil.— We see an article in the present number devoted to wheat Insects, which no doubt at this moment occupies much of the farm ers' attention, as their wheat was more or less injured by this destroyer. The article is very explanitory, and well illustrated with the various kinds of insects. Price one dol lar. ORANGE JUDD, publisher, New York. COL. JAMES RAMSEY, one of the Repre sentatives of York county in the State I eg islature during the sessions of 1856 and 1857, died on the 13th inst., at his resi dence iu Peachbottom township, York county. He was about 50 years of age, and a man of sterling integrity and grefft warmth of heart. About four weeks ago, he met with an accident by which one of his legs was severely fractured. But his death, which was sudden, was not attribu ted to the injuries ho then received, but to disease of the heart. THE UIAKLESION CONVENTION. Tho last hope of the many-hued Opposi lion is that the Charleston Convention will dissolve the Democratic party ! When the honest, intelligent, and thoroughly-informed people ol the United States reflect upon this fact, they will see how forlorn are the prospects of our political antagonists. Because ambitious, aspiring, and hot headed politicians here and there, who jjave been honored by the Democratic party and elevated to offices of distinction and trust, choose to take grounds on important nation al questions antagonistic to each other, or to promulgate abstract theories opposite not only to each other, but to the well ( known doctrines of the Democratic party, the prophets of Black Republicanism and the other sections of the Opposition delude themselves into the idle dream that the Na tional Democracy will bo broken up at Charleston ! They are joined, if not instigated, in these ridiculous predictions by certain "sensa '• tion" journals that care not what absurd fictions or improbabilities they uttet, provi ded they can succeed in fabricating some matter of talk to serve the purposes or the day. For the special information of those who circulate, and those who pretend to believe thesejstories of the approaching dissolution of the great Democratic parly, tpe Constitu tion notifies them, in advance, that the Na tional Democracy will show at Charleston what they have shown on other notable oc casions—that they have a very short and summary method ol dealing with disorga nizes. If any man from any section of the Union ventures to go thither haughtily to offer to that congress of equals—of men of individual character, personal honor and absolute independence— Am ultimatum, or a platform constructed to suit his own crotch ets—if any man goes there determined to produce disaffection, nr to exasperate it, we make bold to say, from our knowledge of the course of former Conventions, and from the resolute and independent spirit of Democrats, that such a person will very speedily find out neither the likings or dis likings of himself or any other man are ma terial to the harmony of the Convention, or the triumph of the Convention's nominee. Will the forlorn Opposition, with its dif fering and antagonistic factions, never awa ken to the fact that the cause of the Nation al Democracy does not depend on the ad hesion of this or that man, however really or fictitiously eminent, to their organiza tion f Who are they upon whose disaffec tion to the general cause of our time-honor ed party the Opposition rely to break up the Charleston Convention in confusion, disaster, and disgrace ? What are they be yond many other enlightened and distin guished Democrats, except so far as the Na tional Democracy has made them eminent,and lavished honors upon them ? "Sftarla has many a worthier son than he" may well be applied to the best of them. Let the "sensation" journals (the chief of which in New-York has been busiest in this silly twadd!e> continue then to prate about the coming "break-up" at Charles ton—let the unfortunate Opposition, split up, as it is, into fragments, echo these ep hemeral prophecies,—let the disaffected aspirants indulge the flattering fancy that they will have their own way or defeat the general will—we tell the latter that they will be able neither to rule or rum at Charleston; and '.hat the only discomfiture exhibited there will be the discomfiture of those who may be predicting and striving for the de struction of the National Democracy. rrenniblc and Resolutions Of the Berwick Lodge, Xo. 246, of I.

D. E. SICKLES. NEW YORK, 19, 1859. 7b the Editor of the Herald : Through the course of sad events, which during the last lew months have brought BO much affliction upon my family, I have been silent. No amount of misrepresentation af fecting myself only could induce me now to open my lips; tier could 1 deem it worth while under mj£4rcilmstances to notice what has been be said in journals never regarded as the sources or the expo nents of public opinion, for in these it is too often obvious that only unworthy motives prompt the most vindictive assaults upon the private lile of citizens holding public stations. But the editorial comments in the Herald ot yesterday, although censorious, (of which 1 do not complain, whilst I read them with regret), differ so widely in tone and temper from the mass of nonsense and calumny which has lately been written con cerning a recent event in my domestic re lations, that 1 cannot allow a mistake, into which you have been led by inaccurate in formation, to pass without such a correction as will relieve others from any share of the reproaches which it is the pleasure of the multitude at this moment to heap upon me and mine. Referring to the forgiveness which my sense of duty and my leelings impelled me to extend to an arnng and repentant wife, you observe, in tne course ol your temper ate and dignified article, that, '-It is said, however, that the last phase of the affair wns brought about through the advice of his lawyers." This is entirely erroneous. I did not exchange a word with one of my counsel upon :he subject, nor with any one else. My reconciliation with my wile was my own act, done without consultation with any relative, connection, friend or adviser. Whatever blame, if any belongs to the Btep, should fall upon me. lam prepared to de fend what I have done before the only tri bunals I recognize as having the slightest claim to jurisdiction over the subject—my own conscience and the bar of Heaven. 1 am not aware of any statute, or code of morals, which makes it infamous to forgive a woman ; nor is it usual to make our do mestic life a subject of consultation with friends, no how near and dear to us. And I cannot allow even all the world com bined to dictate to me the repudiation of my wile, when 1 think it right to forgive her, and restore her to my confidence and protection. If I ever failed to comprehend the utterly j desolate position of an offending though penitent woman—the hopeless future, with all its dark possibilities of danger, to which she is doomed when proscribed as an out cast—l can now see plainly enough, in the almost universal howl of denunciation with which she is followed to my threshold, the misery and perils from which I have rescu ed the mother of my child. And although it is very sad for me to incur the blame of friends and the reproaches of many wise and good people, I shall strive to prove to all who feel any interest in me, that if I am the first man yho has ventured to say to the world an erring wile and mother may be forgiven and redeemed, that in spile of all obstacles in my path the good results of this example shall entitle it to the imitation of the generous and the commendation of the just. There are many who think that an act of duty proceeding solely from aflections which can only be comprehended in the heart of a husband and a father, is to be fatal to my professional, political and social standing. If ttiis be so, then so be it. Political stations professional success, social tecognition, are not the only prizes of ambition ; and I have seen enough of the world in which I have moved, and read enough of the lives of oth ers, to teach me that, if one be patient and resolute, it is the man himself who indi cates the place he will occupy; and so long as I do nothing worse than to re-unite my family Ifffder the roof where they may find shelter from contumelyand persecution, I do not fear the noisy but fleeting voice of popular clamor. The multitude accept their first impressions from a few ; but in the end men think for themselves, and if I know the human heart—and sometimes I think that in a career of mingled sunshine and storm I have sounded nearly all its depths—then I may reassure those who look with reluctant forebodings upon my future to be of good cheer, for I will not cease to vindicate a just claim to the re spect of my fellows; while to those hot ley groups, here and there, who look upon my misfortunes only as weapons to be em ployed for my destruction, to those I say, once for all, if a man make good use of his enemies they will be as serviceable to him as his friends. In conclusion, let me ask only one favor of those who, from whatever motive, may deem it necessary or agreeable to comment in public or private upon this sad history ; and that is. to aim all their arrows at my breast, and for the sake of my innocent child to spare her yet youthful mother, while she seeks in sorrow and contrition the mercy and the pardon of Him to whom, sooner or later, we must all appeal. Very respectfully, your most obedient servant. DANIEL. E. SICKLES. THE PITTSBURG POST AND PRESIDENT BUCH ANAN.—The Pittsburg Post, the leading Dem ocratic organ in Western Pennsylvania, has put up the name of James Buchanan for re election, and in its issue of Tuesday last, there appeared a long leader, taking ihe ground that he is the only candidate who Can be nominated by the Charleston Con vention to reconcile the differences which exist inljta Democratic ranks at the North and South. AN awkward mistake occurred to a Ger man paper in Wheeling a short time since. The name of a well known preacher was in advertently placed at the bottom of a lager beer saloon advertisement, and the lager man was announced to preach at the rever end gentleman's church. It was a simple transposition of names, and might have oc curred under the most careful eye, yet be hold what a jumble the types made. They had to issue handbills to set it right. Commoiicated. MR. EDITOR :—The time is rapidly ap proaching in which it will be necessary for us to select R County Treasurer and n Coun ty Commissioner It is essentially neces saiy that the Treasurer and Commissioner of a county should possess business qnali fications of a high order, and adaptation to the duties of their respective offices. Permit me through the medium of your truly Democratic journal, to the name of JOHN A. FURSTON, of Jerseytown, for Treasurer, and the name of ISAAC DE WITT, Esqr., of Greenwood, for Commis sioner. These gentlemen possess all the qualifications necessary to make good and efficient officers, and their nomination and election would insure the people good and reliable officers, and be an honor to the offices for which they are named instead of the offices honoring them. Yours truly, July 76, 1859. GREENWOOD. For the Star of the North. "Thoughts Suggfstfil by a Celebration at Ben ton." ED. STAR:—On glancing over the columns of the Republican of the 7th inst., 1 was some what surprised on seeing an article bearing the above title. Surely, thought f, there must be some mistake here, as I am a resi dent of the immediate vicinity of Beqlon, and had not heard ol it before But being naturally fond of reading, I concluded to ex amine it and see what a Celebration thought, and I must confess that I was still greater surprised on reading it. In the first place I wish to stute that there never was a celebra tion at Benton, unless judging from Philo's communication, that he, himself, composed a Celebration. Indeed that is all the meaning I can get from him when he says, 'Thoughts suggested by n Celebration." Now, if such was the fact, I do not wonder that poor Philo felt somewhat patriotic as he paraded the streets ol our quiet little village, all alone, by himself, and no doubt he imagined that he could see men in military array, and per haps thought that he could hear the soul i-tirring sound of the fife and drum. There was a Celebration at Still Water on the second day of July, some four miles from Benton, which was composed of the Still Watet, Benton and Cambra Sunday Schools. This Celebration was got up with great care and considerable expense, and reflects much credit on the inhabitants of the place, for the taste and convenience, displayed in all their arrangements, and was acknowledged by many who were present to be the very best one of the kind they ever attended, notwithstanding the procession was headed by a small military company, of which I can see r.o impropriety, and as for reeling, tottering and blaspheming, if Philo saw any thing of the kind, it must have been pretty close about the tavern, (where no doubt Philo spent most of his time) as it was not on the ground selected for the Celebration, and I believe if Philo had been where he could have heard the able Orations that were delivered on the ground, he would not have seen so much to deprecate. He tells us he observed something to admire, but does not tell us what it was, showing at once that he paid more attention to such things as he deprecated, than those which he admired. He further says, "many may well doubt the propriety of having a military company with the pomp and show of war, marching at the head of a procession of Sabbath School children, even to celebrate the Fourth of July " Were there not many at the time of our struggle for independence opposed to military show, and said an appeal 10 arms was unnecessary? I doubt if Philo had lived in those days, he would have been one of that number. He says, 'feeling some what patriotic' he attended a Celebration at Benton. Now, reader, what would you think of a soldier's patriotism if in time of a bat tle he would manage to be about as close to tho enemy, as Philo was to the Celebra tion, —a little more than Jour miles off. (I mean if he had reference to the celebration at Still Water.) I most heartily concur with Philo where he says, "great care Bhould be taken that the young and impetuous mind does not receive an impluse in the wrong direction," and I fully believe that it was the whole object and aim of those who had the control of the proceedings of the dny, to instil into the minds of those who were present, the duty they owed to their Crea tor, and also to give them at least a faint idea of the trials and struggles which our forefathers had to pass through, in the pur chasing of the glorious Liberty which we now enjoy, and also to instil into their young and tender minds a desire to perpet uate that Liberty so dearly bought. I will conclude by saying, that if Philo will come out from behind the bushes, and let himself be known he will be entitled to a blue ticket, and perhaps at the close of our Sunday School this fall he will receive a red one.

One vol ume. l2rno , cloth, with a Steel Portrait.— Price $l.OO Opinion of the English Press : 1 We have read Mr. H. S. Brown's 'LiDures' with much satisfaction. Mr BrowHknows how to r speak to..'Mie people.' Merlins nlmnst every qualification for it, if we may judge from his printed addresses, 'lnere is no maudlin sentimentality about Itim ; but all is healthful as the breeze on the hill. There is no clap-trup ; he is both too honest and too earnest for that. There is neither a Pharisaic scorn of vice, nor any effeminate apologizing for it. but a wise Christian man's righteous hatred for it, who knows how to look on those who are sin degraded as his brethren. Me speaks to the people almost as one of themselves, only from a higher level ; and, though he uses their daily phrases, yet he does not thereby pan der to vulgarity, lie has a happy acquaint ance with our homely common sense prov erbs, and employs them tellingly. Ihere is no affectation of extraordinary 'concern for the poor' or their 'souls but there is that real manly concern which can afford to dispense with profession, and to express itself chiefly in calm but brave and sensibly earnest endeavors. The proverb, 'much cry and little wool,' you may reverse in his case. His true desire to benefit the people is partly shown by the pains with which he collects and prepares the statistics of vice, poverty, disease, kc., in order that his well marshalled facts may preach'to the under standing. The genuineness of his earnest ness is evinced by the cheerfulness with which it toils along the highway of com mon 6euse. He has no recourse to reckless, undiscriminating charges, and is too strong for exaggeration. Truth is enough for him ; would that this were no distinction ! While he faithfully touches the worst vices,yet you never feet that the censor himself must have a course taste or prurient imagination. These Sunday alieriioon lectures are not 'sermons,' nor intended to be. In them he grapples with acknowledged evils: but still, while opening the eyes of the people to the real nature of much of what'their daily lile too often is, and showing what it might be. lie is never ashamed of the Gos pel of Chris:,nor chargeable with even seem ing to let them go away with the impress ion that anything else, and not the kingdom of heaven, is the first thing to be sought In Mr Brown we have a man who, we should judge, can afford to go where any classes of God's creatures are domestiealed. for he is strong, and his strength is holy."— Monthly Christian Spectator.
