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.

BUSINESS EDUCATION. —Messrs. Bryant &
Stratum, whose card is seen in another col
umn, are known throughout the Union for
their enterprise and success in this cause
Their Mercantile Colleges are found in
seven cities, including Philadelphia and
New York. Their course is comprehensive
and practical, and directed with special
reference to the wants of the Counting
House. Hundreds of young men are yearly
graduating in these Colleges and taking re
sponsible and lucrative positions for which
they were thus qualified.
THE LADIES' HOME MAGAZINE, publish
ed by T. S. Arthur & Co., in Philadelphia,
has made its appearance, in good season,
\jor the month of August. It looks exceed
ingly well, and cannot fail being perused
with Interest by all who are blessed with its
visits. It is calculated to be highly esteem
•ed in whatever section of country it may
•circulate. There are few publications of
dike character in this coutitry which will
■favorably compare with this one in ques
tion. It is remarkably cheap, two dollars
per annum.
THE GREAT REPUBLIC MONTHLY is out for
August, as usual, filled with choice reading-
It is an interesting publication, deserviug of
a very liberal patronage, which we hope it
is receiving. It is rather a new publication,
and is fast gaining popularity. Send and
get it. Address WATSON &Co , New York
City. Terms three dollars per annum.
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.
I or by both, intervenes with a proposal
| which suspends the warfare and gives a
J breathing space for negotiation. The lead-
I ing English journals look upon peace as
' almost certain.

" 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.

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

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.

LETTER FROM HON. 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.

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.

"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.

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.
