REPRESENTATIVE NOMINATIONS. The proceedings of the Representative Conferees will be found in another column of the STAR. They met on last Friday, Sep tember 9th, 1859, Rt Tuukhannoek, Wyo ming county, and placed in nomination Hon. SAMUEL OAKS, of Moniour county, and Hon. GEO. D. JACKSON, of Sullivan county, for Assembly. This nomination suits the peo ple : it is one that will receive a generous and hearty support from the voters of this representative district. They have been unanimously nominated, and signs indicate tor them a handsome majority this fall over the arrogant Opposition. They are men perfectly honest, capable and worthy ; just such men as the voters ol this Legislative District wish to have to represent them at llarrisburg. Anything the Opposition may say or do will not interfere with their elec tion. It may be expected of the Opposition to raise all kinds of electioneering stories lor the purpose of accomplishing their ends, but in this instance, we trust, they will be to r.o avail. The Democratic Ticket. Il is truly said, that union and harmony is essential to the success of any party, and we are therefore highly gratified to learn lhat the Democrats in all parts of Columbia j county are not only satisfied but well pleas- I ed with the ticket formed by our late Dem- j ocratic Convention. We say we are gratified with this stale of; affairs, because opposition to any part of the ticket is always sure to work great injury to the whole, and he who opposes one can didate would probably do less injury to the whole ticket by opposing all. He who will do this, after nominations are made, is not worthy of the appellation ol Democrat. We hope there are few. if any such men in the Democratic party. All our candidates are worthy and deser ving Democrats, honest men and well qual ified for the positions for which they are nominated, and hence they are entitled to the cordial support of every man who | claims to be a Democrat. This they will receive and we therefore regard their elec tion as a fixed fact. Representative Conference. The Conferees representing this Repre sentative District, composed of the counties of Columbia, Montour, Wyoming and Sul livan, met at Tunkhannock, on Friday, Sept. 9th, 1859, and nominated candidates for Assembly. The following were the conferees present. Columbia —Peter Billmeyer and Hudson Owen. Montour —William McNinch and James Auld. Wyoming —Alvin Day and C. D Gearhart. Sullivan —Michael Meylert and B. Rush Jackson. The meeting was organized by appointing PETER BILLMEYKR. President, Michael Mey lert and Alvin Day, Secretaries. The Conferees having presented their credentials, and all proving satisfactorily to the Conference, Wm. McNinch nominated Samuel Oakes, of Montour county, and Mi chael Meylert nominated George D. Jack roil, of Sullivan county, to represent this Representative District in our State Legisla ture. On motion the nominations were closed. Samuel Oakes, of Montour county, and George D.Jackson, of Sullivan county, were declared unanimously nominated by the Conference. The next Conference was nppointed to be held at John Deen's Hotel, in Danville, Montour county, on the second Friday in September next. There being no more business, the Con ference then adjourned. PETER BILLMEYER, President. "R„'P I S*"*""" HEART OF MID-LOTHIAN. By Sir Waller Scott.—Forming the eleventh volume ol the cheap and popular weekly publication of the Waverley Novels for the Million, at 25 cents each, being issued by T. B. Peterson & Brothers, Philadelphia. This enterpris ing firm are doing a great public benefit in thus placing before the whole reading com munity, nine-tenths of whom are obliged to be economical in literary luxuries, the works of Sir WALTER SCOTT in the present cheap and popular form. Each volume is got up HI a neat style, all of the same size, and are printed at the rale of 25 cents a volume, or the whole twenty-six volumes for five dol lars, and sent free ol postage to all, on re ceipt of this sum. This low price should place a set of them within the reach of eve rybody in the land. Tate and llnrtly's Magic. There appeared in the laßt Columbia Dem ocrat, published by that unscrupulous rascal, Levi L. Tale, formerly from the rugged mountains of Clearfield county, a silly com munication attempting to find fault with a certain local article that was published in our last issue in relation to street brawling and certain itinerant gentlemen retailing their cure alls and humbiiging the people As a publisher of a newspaper it is our duty to notice audi things, and all good and sen sible men give us credit in so doing. Our ar ticle appears to have pinched the toes of Levi, consequently he publishes a flimsy article over the signature of "Proprietor of Hardy's Magic Remedy." We were not aware at the time Ihat our neighbor had a supply ol Patent medicines, (such as Rowland's Fever and Ague Mix lure, Hoofland's German Bitters, Horse Lin iment, Pills, &c.,) on hand for sale, or we would probably have modified our article slightly; for we abhor interfering with the business ol a neighbor, especially if we know that he has a genuine article for sale. II the ignoramus is not betrayed by his squeaking voice, he is certainly betrayed by his ignorance, as we did not state in our ar ticle that pills and ointment were offered for sale during Court. Had we stated that pills and ointment were offered for sale and Levi or the Magic man did not offer any, why then should they disturb their shallow brains at writing a communication. It is plainly to be understood why Levi opens his columns in defence of pills and ointment. By a glance over his paper the whole secret is solved to perfection, as all kinds of pills and ointments will there be seen conspicuously advertised. More, he keeps the articles tor sale. In a lormer number of the Columbia Dem ocrat Levi announced, and he wished it dis tinctly understood, that he would not hold communication with the STAR nor never con sent to hold respectable intercourse with its party. In this case he has made a talse as sertion ; one that we had not expected of the sarcastic Levi. Although this is charac teristic of the man ar.d his paper. Another proof that he or his paper can not be relied upon for veracity presents its elf to us. In the twenty-first number of j his paper, present volume, previous to the | County nomination, he slated that all an j iiouncements of Candidates are required to be pre-paid to appear in the Columbia Demo crat. That is to say, no announcement can ! appear in his paper unless paid for in ad ! vance This is the inference people would ! draw from from his language. Well, did he carry this out I We will an swer the question by saying that we heard him complaining to a friend of ours, saying that for six announcements in his paper he had received pay but for one, and that one, if we understood him correctly, he said had belter not have paid, intimating that that one would be defeated. We understood I who his allusion was to. j The public can safely put Levi down as | a humbug, not-because he upholds hum j bugism for pay, in his paper, but that he is j a humbug in every instance, and a half a i judge would be satisfied with that fact. ; We will now use Levi's language, as it was undoubtedly written by himself for his own history : "Now the best thing he can do, is to retire into private life, [why did he not say as he undoubtedly will have to] (as he would not be missed) or learn to let other peoples' business alone, and try to make a living by minding his own business." So say we ; them's our Fenliments. Sup pose you set the example, you are the old est, and you can never learn younger. By strict attention to your own business you might have accumulated considerable wealth by this time and be fullj prepared to "retire into the shades of private life" with a char acter, in the estimation of your neighbors, much better than the one you possess. ADVANCE PAYMENT FOR NEWSPAPERS —In looking over some old papers a few days since, our eye fell upon the following, which suits our notion of things so well, that we give it room in our column, and hope that it will be read, not by our patrons alone, and heeded. It reads thus : No subscriber worth retaining, will object to the pay-in-advance system. Those who wanted to hear Jenny Lind sing, had to pay in advance; and what were her divinest strains compared with those which flow from editorial pens? You can't take your seat in a ricketty mail-coach, or fly-from the-tract railroad car, without paying in ad vance for the risk of being killed. If you would hear a concert, or literary lecture; or see Tom Thumb or the Siamese Twins you must plank down your twenty-five, or tilty, or one hundred cents, before you can fiass the threshold. Nay, if any one has so ittle regard for his own character as to want to read Barnuni's Autobiography, he must first pay for it. And yet men hesitate and cavil about paying in advance lor a paper furnished at a price on the very brink and utmost nerve of prime cost. THE FORTUNES or Nicer.. fly Sir Waller Scotl. lleing the twelfth volume of T. S. Peter son If Bro 1 hers, cheap weekly issue of Waveily Novels Jor the Million. The world-wide reputation of the Waver ley Novels will insure a ready sale of this cheap edition, and prove, we trust, remun erative to the enterprising publishers. It is commendable to do anything that will, even in a small degree, stay the present raging appetite lor pernicious light reading. By satisfying the carvings of those who desire fiction with some of the healthiest of its or der, is preventing evil, and negatively, at least, doing good. There are no works of the imagination which can so effectually ac complish this as the novels of Sir Walter Scott. They, to say nothing more, are harm less. It is even astonishing that through so many volumes there should be found so lit tle that religion or morality would disap prove. For beauty of style, copiousness of expression, vividness of description, and in terest of subject, Scott stands in the foremos t rank. His works will be read always with interest, and not unfrequently with profit. One volume is issued every Saturday, and each one is got up in a neat style, all of the satne size, and are printed at the rate of 25 cents a volume, or the whole twenty-six vol umes for five dollars, and sent free of post age to all, on receipt of this sum. lhis low price should place a sett of them within the each of everybody in the land. President Making. Undoubtedly a new era in Piesident ma king has suddenly been inaugurated. In the good old times of our forefathers, grea t men were of slow growth, and honors were thrust upon them, rather than being to them objects of pursuit. Hence it has but rarely happened that the highest honor which a civilized nation can confer has been the aim of unremitting, open and avowed effort. Pos sibly in this as in all other pursuits, there is progress and a necessity to keep even with the times. The telepraph ar.d the Associa ted Press are late combinations for annihi lating time and space, as well as for distri- Jbuling to any quarter of the country the ac tions of the community, and the thoughts of the great. Nor is the present system of i newspaper corresonding of a very ancient' date ; indeed, it may be said '.hat ils pecu liar influence has been appreciated only in the last lew years. These effects of progress unknown in olden times, are at the disposition of any aspiring man of the present day, who seeks to till the public ear and persuade the pub lic mind ihat true greatness is not departed. Add to these applances, clubs and coteries of especial friends judiciously selected and spotted in different States; also here and there, an individual organ to collect and publish saying and doings of correspond ents and especial friends; and finally, let there be pre arranged receptions, with high falutiu' speechifying amidst the cannons' roar, &c., to glut the telegraph with mid night despatches and fill the columns of the Associated Press, and we have a glimmer ing notion of the means employed in this progressive age to accomplish a Presiden tial destiny. After all the use of these won derful engines for the purpose of forming public sentiment, may be commendable. Republics are said to be ungrateful, and slow to reward modest merit—hence many a flower might be born to blush unseen, and wither in the desert air of ingratitude if they could not be transplanted into the modern hot house ol Buncombe, Humbug St Co. We are led to make these remarks from observing the ponderous, complex and ex pansive machinery now employed by a prominent aspirant for Presidential honors History aflord r.o parallel, and politics are put to the blush at the very contemplation of the stupendous exertions to blow 'he Douglas bugle throughout this land. One evershaoowitig, portentious, prodigious, in terminable and illimitable idea flashes by night and by day along the pole-propped wires, fills columns of type, and engages the minds and captivates the hearts of this great people. What signifies all other ideas or issues when compared with it ? Our foreign relations are a bagatelle, the great commercial interests of the country mere tape and flummery, our manufacturing con cerns vulgar and inconsiderate trifles, our domestic resources a subject unworthy of notice in comparison with this great politi cal millenium idea !! Muhommet was a great prophet, Luther a great reformer, Alex ander a great General, and Barnum is a great philosopher, but neither of them in all their glory or plenitude of power over the mas ses could hold a candle, no, not even a wax taper to the discoverer, divulger, and prom ulgator of this absorbing titulating, liberty giving, vitalizing, fundamental, superstruc tural indestructible, inalienable and inde leasble right as to the time when (viz: some months sooner or later) a few pion eers shall vote at their constable, supervi sors, justice of the peace and legislative elections, against or in favor ol a Georgia nigger coming to work where his master would find no profit in taking him—so that STEPIIKN A. DOUGLAS may be President of the United States. Sic transit gloria popular sovereignty ! — J'enniytvanian. CHARLES DICKENS' WORKS —The well known firm of T. B. Peterson & Brothers, 306 Chestnut street, Philadelphia, have just commenced publishing a remarkably cheap edition of these unapproachable works of fiction. It is called "Peterson's Cheap Edition fur the Million, of the entire writings of Charles Dickens, Box," and will be issued complete in Twenty-eight weekly volumes. One volume will be published regularly on each and every Saturday, until the whole number ot volumes—twenty-eight—is completed. I The low price fixed by the publishers tor them are only 25 cents a volume, or the whole twenty-eight volumes lor five dollars. A complete set will be forwarded free of postage, by Mail, to any part of the United Stales, to any one, by the publishers, on re ceiving a remittance of five dollars lor the twenty-eight volumes; or a remittance of three dollars will pay lor the first fourteen volumes ; or a remittance of one dollar will pay for the first lourvolumes. The volumes will be neatly printed, and each volume will contain 160 large octavo pages, printed on fine white paper, and neatly bound with paper cover. The revised uniform Edin burgh edition, from which this is reprinted, comprises twenty-eight volumes, the cost of which is seventy five dollars; and this edition will contain every word of the Edinburgh edition. We commend the determination of this enterprising Philadelphia firm, to furnish the complete and entire works of Charles Dickens at a prico so reasonable, that all persons whatever may possess a full set, and direct the especial attention of our readers to the fact, and would advise them all to make a remittance of Five Dollars at once, per first mail, to the publishers, for the entire set, who will Bend them complete to any one, free of postage, on receipt of that sum. DEFYING TIIE LAWS I —The Black Repub lican candidate for Governor in Ohio says— "lf I am elected Governor of Ohio—and 1 expect to be—no fugitive slave shall be sent back to Kentucky, or any other slave State ; if 1 cannot otherwise protect him from his pursuers, 1 will employ the bayonet, so help me, Gcd." THE attention of our readers is directed to the advertisement in another column of the LAW BLANK STORE, 230, Dock Street, Philadelphia. A Difficulty with England. A difficulty has arisen on the Pacific Coast respecting the seizure, by the U. S. Troops, ef the islands in tljo Straits of Fuca. which islands are in dispute between the U. S., and Great Britain. The Island of San Juan has been occupied by Gen.HsRNKV, and Gov. DOUGLAS, the British Commander, has sent a 1 considerable forcji to movement ' The islands in question are of great import-1 ance to us, they have excellent har bors, in Which am Northern Pacific Coast is very deficient. The principal islands aro San Juan and Lopez. The former is fifteen miles long and seven broad, and has two excellent harbors. The latter is opposite and not far distant, and has one perfectly safe and land locked harbor. VVe extract the following information on tho subject from the corrtspondence of the Journal of Com merr.c:— There can be no doobt of the validity oT our title In the islands in the Straits of Fuca. As Mr. Polk said in his inaugural concern iug the Oregon dispute, " our title to the whole of Oregon is unquestionable." But, still, it was questioned, and we yielded— perhaps yielded 100 much. In the present case, alsoj our title is questioned. The Boundary Commissioners could not agree upon it, and the two governments to which they respectively referred did not agree. Therefore, it seems that our government has solved the question by a forcible seizure and occupation of the principal island, San Juan. The movement jy.ill provoke Lord Palmcrston, Sorbose mettle we have had some proof in former matters. At one crisis in our disputes with England, we should have had a war, had not Lord Palmerston retired from the Ministry. This was declar ed by Mr. Rives, of Va., in the U. S. Senate, as a positive fact. Mr Buchanan, as Secretary of Stale, nev er gave up Oregon, or any part of it. He did not abandon the claim to 54" 40', though he was overruled by the President and Sen ate. Inasmuch as that arrangement con ceded to the British government Vancou ver's Island and its harbors, Mr. Buchanan is now the more anxious to save the three excellent harbors furnished by the islands in the Straits of Fuca. He has probably de termined to assert our title first, and then, while in possession, await the result of ne gotiation. We never had a treaty with Eng land in regard to the construction of form of an alliance, offensive and defensive, but in Rubstance creating a protectorate whenever the United Slates shall signify its willingness to enter into such engagements. This treaty New York Journal of Com mcicc thinks, is deficient in not including •' An Extradition treaty ; a Postal treaty ; a Commercial treaty or fixed Tariff", which shall be uniform upon all occasions, and put a stop to the sale of permits at special rates, UB at present ; a provision for putting a stop to the fraudulent exportation ol silver on the Pacific coast, by smuggling on board vessels of war of other nations, while Ame ricans are compelled to pay from 3 to 5 per cent, duty ; a stipulation for greater security to properly of American citizens in Mexico ; and, lastly, the transfer of portions of the Mexicau territory to the United Stales." Unnecessary Torture. FACTS FOR TUB INCREDULOUS. The agony suffered by the limping pil- j grim who neglected to boil the peas he car- ! ried in his shoes as a penance, was nothing j to the horrible twinges, the racking tortures I which rheumatic patients suffer. We pity the obstinacy, or ttie ignorance, or the pre judice, whiohMW il may be, which-has thus tar prevented them trom resorting to those great specifics for rheumatism, HOLI.OWAV'S I OINTMENT AND PILLS. It is curious, in a I country where almost every one can and ] does read the newspapers, that facts of the utmost importance to the health of thou- j sands should be overlooked or disregarded , by any of the suffering class whom they immediately concern Yet, so it is. Al-j most daily we see persons moving painful ly through the streets, with contracted limbs and joints rendered rigid by disease, to whom the penetrating and laxative unguent invented by Professor Hollo way would be worth its weight in diamond dui-t. In the Russian hospitals, it has superseded every ! other external remedy for rheumatism, j Nothing else, say the French surgeons em- j ployed in those institutions, seems to have the slightest effect on the terrible forms of the malady which exist in that inhospitable climate. The results of its use in this coun try are, we are assured, no less satisfactory. 1 Warm fomentations should, in all cases, : precede its application, as by this means the pores of h-ikin are opened, and the process of absorption greatly facilitated, f'he rapidity with which the Ointment dis appears under the hand while being rubbed in, is astonishing. The inflamed flesh, or indurated muscles seem to drink in the cool ing, soothing, relaxing unguent, as swiftly as the desert stands imbibe the genial rain. As an auxiliary to the Ointment in rheuma tic cases, the Pills are said to be invaluable, end we can readily beiieve it. All external disorders more or less iuterlere with the j functions of the internal organs, and the ] presence of disease on the surface always involves a bad condition of the secretions and the blood. It is by the correction of these functional derangements, we pre sume, that the Pills assist llio cure. Such is the theory of the distinguished inventor of the remedies, and us it is consistent with | common sense, (which is more than can be said ot all medical theories,) we have nolh -1 ing to object to it. One thing is certain with regard to rheu matism in this climate : In nine cases out of ten, it defies the " regular " treatment. Colchicum, the tffireutyped prescription, is more banelul to the constitution than mer cury itself: and though it may, by its para lyzing influence, so far benumb the parts affected as to alleviate the pain, we have never known an instance in which it has thoroughly eradicated disease. On the oth er hand, it is claimed that Holloway's re medies expel it utterly ; and this claim is fortified by volumes of direct and uncontra dicted testimony.—" Periodical Critic." HON. CHARLES R. BUCKALEW. —The many friends of this distinguished Democrat, will be glad to learn that his health is perfectly restored. He writes that he has not been sick a day since he sailed from New York, and that he has gained over twenty pounds in weight since his departure. Mr. Bucka lew is tj. S. Minister to Equador one of the republics of South America. The capital, Quito, where he resides, is situated nearly under the lO,OOO feet above the level of the sek, in a beautiful valley surrounded by snow-capped mountains. The climate is mild, ranging from 45 to 65 degrees above freezing point, varying but little, and is aptly compared to perpetual spring, vegetation continuing constantly. Such diseases as fever, ague, bilious attacks in any form, or consumption, have never been known there. In fact, few die except from old age, starvation or accident. There is every prospect that Mr. Buckalew will return a halo, hearty man,— Exchange. Another Schoolmistress Swindled. i A well-dressed young woman came be- I fore Aid. Brady, at ihe City Hall I'ulice \ Court, yesterday, and stated tiiat she had been most shamefully swindled by a per son who had escaped, and whom she did not now know a here to find. She slated that she was a schoolmistress, and had fill ed responsible positions in several seminar ies—her last engagement having just been concluded in this city—and that she still owned a residence on the north side qf the city. One day laßt week she saw an adver tisement in a daily paper, ottering a good salary for a governess to go South, and ap plied lor the situation. She found the ad vertiser at the Clinton I'lace Hotel, a finely dressed young man, with a genteel air, who told her that he was a widower, and had two young children on his plantation South, whom he desired to have well taken care of and instiucted, giving his own name as Bruce. His manner was that of a rather fast Southerner, and she having confidence that his representations were correct, agreed immedially, at a certain salary, to accom pany him by railroad, on Tuesday morning of this week. In accordance with his re quest, she came to the Clinton-place Hotel on Monday afternoon, with her baggage, in order to leave early the following morning. Bruce had engaged a room for their joint occupation, and registered their names as hdSband and wile, to which, singularly enough, she did not object. Her baggage was sent to Jersey City the same evening by a carman. On some pretence he suc ceeded also in borrowing her gold watch, to go out in the evening. He returned at 4 o'clock the next morning, in a state of in | toxication, but retired with her, and upon i getting up, being in a great hurry to take 1 the train, and suddenly discovering that he I had not enough money to pay his board | bill, he asked her whether she could not j let him have a little lor a short time, until ihe could collect 8400, which he could get !on his way to Jersey City. She had no j more than $lO with her, but gave it to him, and subsequently borrowed 84 from a friend, jof which she gave him 83. Pretending to I step out of doors for a moment, tho genteel j widower absconded. Captain Leonard in ; terested himself in her case, and is doing j everything in his power to discover the j whereabout of the scoundrel.— N. Y. Tri bune, 9th. FINANCE AND TRADE —For the information of our many readers we would stale that our railroad shares, there is a good degree of firmness, but the transactions are not large. The advices from the West generally are favorable for railroad traffic in this month. The receipts of grain and flour at Chicago are large, and consequently the traffic of the roads leading in that city show a increase The Illinois Central delivered, on Mon day, 173 cars of produce and merchandise, which is the largest tor many months. The indications now are that all the better class of stocks will gradually advance in price until they have reached a fair standard and then remain permanently, or at least for a long time, at such prices. The movements of the immense crops of the West will con tinue to affect stocks for months to come ; not so much, however, by the increase of business on the Western roads as it will in expanding the business ot the country and thus work a general cure in the Stock mar ket. If the farmers of the West can be made to understand that where there is gen eral increase in the productions of this year there must be a corresponding reduction in prices, they would not delay the sale of their crops but commence sending them to market. But if they are determined to ad here to the old prices, although there is in the country a larger supply than was ever before known, we must expect the railroads to suffer in a like proportion. If these crops are put upon the market at once every branch of trade will receive a new impulse, becoming active and healthy. To the Voters or Columbia County. It is customary for candidates to go before the people at every election with a new platform of promises, usually are of so frail a nature that they only serve for the candi dates to stand upon before election—they al ways get upselduring the bustle of election, and the successful candidate stands wher ever he chooses afterwards. My political sentiments are too well known to make many professions necessary, and tho only promise that I have to make in relation to them is that, which they have been in the post they will be in the future To you who have approved them 1 need say no more ; and I will not be guilty of flattery,to those who have differed iroin me as to pretend that I shall in any degree de viate from that line of political conduct which first recommended me to your notice. Upon these grounds I again presume to re quest your support; and if I should be elect ed Distrist Attorney, you may depend upon finding me a steady and firm friend to the rights of society and an honest and earnest supporter and upholder of laws for the pun ishment of crimes and misdemeanors.
