He made a few opening remarks in which he brief ly discussed tbe Stale of the Union, the con dition of the Country, and tbe interests of tbe Democracy. Believing that the hope of the Union, and its tree institutions, were dependent npon the faered preservation of the Constitution ,in all its original compacts, h..oged bis fellow democrats to stand firm open tbe ramparts of the Constitution, and to rally Jo ita support, as their only guarantee for ihe continuance of the Government and the -Sijeet.aricbor of the' Union. His re marks were received with great approval. - Mr. T. annooooedjthat he had the pleasure of introducing . ASA R. BRUNDAGE, Esq., of Luzerne, and THOMAS CHALFANT, Esq., ot Montour, to the meeting. A. R. Brcpdagc, Esq., of Luzerne county, was tben called to tbe stand and addressed the audience for an hour and a half, mak ing a sound, Uniory Democratic Speech. lie first took a historical review of the prin ciples epori which the Union was founded, the objects for which Governments are form ed, and then proceeded to show the leri ble character of oar Country's calamities. In a strain of true eloquence he depicted - the horrors of civil war, and advocated the necessity of preserving the Union and the Constitution, at all hazards and at whatever cost. ' He placed :he responsibility of this un natural strife where it belongedjequslly up on the Northern Abolitionists and rhe Sooth- era disunionists, and earnestly and ably ins-! isled that tbe Democratic party from the day of Washington was the true Union parly, having no other recoid, but that of a . firm adherence to the preservation of the Union' and the Constitution. He bad no sympa thy " with Rebels, but strotgly urged bis bearers to rise above partizan feelings, and stand up manfully to sustain the Union as their forefathers had done before them He counseled a moderate and dispassionate investigation into the causes of our present natioiial difficulties, and erged upon the Democracy the absolute necessity of a firm adherence to the faith of their fathers, and to stand by the stars and strrpes so long as a star or shred was left. His pech was well received, calling forth repeated applause. We regard Mr. Bruxdagc, as an eloquent and logical speaker, and hope his visit may, at some future time, be repeated, where be will always be most cotdially welcomed, by the Democracy of Columbia. THOMAS CHALFANT, Esq, of Mon tour, was loudly called for and soon appear ed npon tbe Speaker's Stand. He remark ed to the audience sayiug, as he surveyed the crowd, he should like to know from whence came all these peop'e that her was not much cf a public speaker, but as he had heard that "old J'jf. Davis' had lately been seen larking in the woods, back of Rohraburg, and that be had come hitherto help tbe Patriotic Union Democrat of Co lumbia to capture tbe old Rebel. He want ed to know how many of thern would join him in the enterprize. In a moment, the whole Camp of Israel was on foot, and re joaJed with one universal aye. CoL C. then went into a minote discus sion of the Usoes cf the day. Ha believed that the drr;ocrats of Colombia, Ilka those of MoniO'ar, and elsewhere, were the firm and consistent friends cf the Union. It was upon Daniocrat'C p-tk.ciples only that the Union srz cri;ina!Iy founded, and by their, it ld.i UfcJ over eighty year, and ha be Sieved it w?. slotse through' tSif-e principles it e par- 71 5 iUn; Jug from tbe demonstrations of joy cod ap probationand he then struck a newsjrlng. He talked of ancient usages and tnedern fashions compared tne profession of the Republicans, a misnomer, (eoaae one cried eut in tbe crowd,) there are no odh animal now, no more than thena are ' Wide A-wdhttf they are just now k XJ iomsliP fie accepted the explanation, and improved upon grati fying information, that the party who but lately denoweed the ttewocrats as "Union Savsefn," had all at once, become loyal citi zens and gopd Union men! ? The Committee on resolutions, consisting of Hon. Peter .nt, Andrew Freasr Lewis Schuyler, Nicholas Kindt, A. J. Albertson, David Demo t 'John Runyan, Isaac Ikeler, George L. Shoemaker and Wm. Hodman, through the chairman, Peter Eut, reported the following, which wose adopted by accla mation : Resoktd, That the democratic party from the time of its organisation to the preent day, bas always been, . and still is in the most emphatic sense, a Union party, devo ted to tae conservation of the Unioa on the great principles on which that Union was formed, mnd there is therefore, neither ne cessity or propriety that calls npon the Democratic party to abandon its lime hon ored name and principles with a view to the formation of a new political organiza tion. Rewhrd, That the so called Republican party established some years since in one rrction of our country is entirely a sectional party, that its snccess depended upon the votes oi one section of our country, that it was against such an organization, our peo ple were repeatedly warned by the founders of the Republic, and that said Republican party by its determined and continoed agi tation of tbe slavery, question is primarily responsible for our present troubles. Resolved, That the democratic party are now, as they have ever been, in favor of sustaining thr government and the laws, as the large majority of Democrats now in the army and service of our country fully dera- orifctra e the cry of traitor, tory, &c, Irom the Republican party to the contrary not--withstanding. Resolved, That while we are in favor of supporting and sustaining the Government in all constitutional measures for suppress ing rebellion, and enforcing the laws, we are nevertheless in favor of the administra tion entertaining the first honorable propo sition for peace, looking to te continued Union and equality of all the States. Resolved, That an uncompromising op position to fraud and corruption in high places, whether in the State or National Administration, ought not, and shall not be construed to mean, opposition to the Gov ernment, or disloyalty to the Union. Resolved that we pledge our undivided support to the Democratic ticket formed in Convention at F.'oomsburg on Monday last. Resolved, That tbe thanksof the Democrat ic party of Columbia be cordially tendered to the several speakers lor their able and elo quent addresses. On motion the thanksof the meeting were tendered the Military Com panies, the String Band, and other musi cians, for their attendance, and valuable services. On motion, the meeting then ad journed. SIGNED BY THE OFFICERS. Ko Partj Contest Row! The fitness, the competency, honesty and respectability of the Democratic nominees will not be disputed by any proper man. As the Republicans just now deprecate party contests, will' they show their sincerity by voting for these nominees and thereby es cape that which they profess to dread so much? If they sincerely believe party con tests to be injurious to the National cause, how can they jusify themselves in getting up a ticket lhar is sure to produce one 1 But there is no sincerity in what they said about no partyism. They made such a proposition only because they knew that both their name and principles were dis graced and would pe repudiated by the peo ple at tbe first opportuo.iy, and they resorted to the Ukk of getting op a "Union" party to enable them to escape their doom. No recognised, undoubted Democrat would be put on such a ticket under any circurastan ces, except so far as might be necessary to cover fraud, and no such would accept their nomination. ' A "union" of what 1 A union of tricksters to cheat the people out of the opportunity to condemn bad principle: to compel the people to appear to approve of all frauds upon tbe soldiers, governmentalcorruption, extravagant and wasteful expenditure of public money, immense and extortionate contracts, enormous taxes, &c.,&c. There are too many "onions" of that stripe already. We want honest men and responsible par tie in power. . Tut following "good one" we take from the Tamaqoa Journal : The man who don't take the papers was in town, the other ' day.'. He said he had heard the " rebellions" were coming to take Phila delphia, and wanted to know whether Gen. Jackson was. still in command there. He thought the flying artillery a very fine thing, as they could fly right over the heads of the enemy and pop awa", He said he had never seen any, although he had at tended tbeKotztown battalion several times. He kaid that he did not wonder that tbe Boll's Run at the last battle, as he had heard that they had got a fire in the rear. He was very sorry for the war, but said it was all owing to tbe Know Nothings and Lincoln. If Jackson had been elected Pres ident and Jim Campbell had not vetoed the tariff, it would never have happened. We wanted him to subscribe for cur paper, bat he said he didn't believe much in u book UrniaV' besides it cost too much. He never read anything but the almanac, and that he had to have, to see when it would rain, so as to know how to fix his work but if we would give it to bim for hall a dollar a year, and put nice pictures in for the chiUJren; like in tbe papers hp saw at the -bockfores, 'be would take it for six We declined doing' so, a: Patriotism &sd Partyim. ...... , .- - - . N There are some persons who profess not to see how one 'can support the Govern ment and not agree with the President's rpsrty politic.; or, in other words, how one can sustain the Government of which Mt, Lincoln is tbe head, and not sustain the pmly of which be ia the head. This is cer tainly a ntw idea in politics, and if the Re publicans can only find enough Democrats to believe in k they vrtil be enabled :o build -up veTy powerful party n that basis! (n times past when .ttte Democrats were at the head of the Government they never thought of asking their political opponents to join their party in order to show their loyalty to the Government, nor did Demo crats in those days think it necessary to bold Union Meetings with the Republicans, or ny ovker party, as the only means of dewKMiatraUng their love for the Union. Men in tiiosa days were able to compre hend the difference between palriotitm and partyism, and were liberal enough to allow that a man could love and fight for his country with equal devotion and equal bravery whether he belonged to the Whig ptrty or the Democratic party There seems to be a starnge confusion ot ideas on this subject, just now but time that rights all things will right this too. Tbe Washington Examiiter draws the distinction between government and party, in the following ex tract, in a sensible and forcible stj'le : Now, we can perceive a wide distinc tion between the government and the party. We can 6ee a perlect consirtency in giving President Lincoln s government (the Union) our best aid and at the fame time extend ing opposition to Abraham Lincoln's party (the Republican.) The Republican party may be corrupt ianaiical and ruinous to the country (and we firmly believe it is,) and it ought, therefore, to be opposed by ever)' honest friend of the country, and, if possible, defeated in all of its merely party schemes. The Union, on the other hand, is a grent and noble government, unsurpassed in excellence by any that ever existed in all earthly time, and it ought, therefore, to be devotedly cherished, bravely defended, and jealously vindicated, both against the parricides who have upraised the hand of rebellion and the party zealots who inno cently it may be carry ruin in their train.' Rcadcr, have you a home, around whose hearthstone the pattering leet of innocent childhood is heaid, then for the sake of that home mark those traitors. Miltonian. Traitors to this country have undoubtedly been the cause of its downfall and ruin, and it might be well to understand who and what a traitor is, in order to guard the more effectually against his influence. The Mil tonian think a tra'.or is a man that bas al ways labored to preserve the Constitution of the country, to sustain the decisions ot (he Supreme Court, to enforce the laws, to mai main our nationality, and to preserve the Union. We think a traitor is a roan that has labored to prejudice one section of the country against another, until! it has result ed in separation : to disobey the decissions of the Supreme Court, and to refuse obedi ence to the Constitution : one that rejected roeasnres that might have saved the Union and educated the people lalsely for the pur pose of punishing them blindly into rain.

There are several such papers in this region of country, and it is the duty of j every good citizen, if be is sustaining such a paper by his patronage, to drop it at once and urge his neighbor to do the same. Do not mob them do not use violence; but why will you sustain papers that wish to perpetuate their Republicanism by the fraud and cheat of a new name that wish to rob you ol your freedom, and to make it treason and to bang you for taking an interest in m . t I I yonr Uovernmenti sucu papers womu crush yon with the shackles of despotism, and rob you of all your rights.

WhtI The Administration at Washing ton has issued orders to the Postmaster at New Vork not to transmit through the mail anymore of the New York papers that have been presented by the Grand Jury as dis loyal. These papers are the Day-Book, News, Journal of Commerce, Freeman's Journal and Brooklyn Eagle. . Four of tt.ese are daily papers. Tbe Administration know that the people desire a change. It knows that a terrible retribution is in 6lore for it, and that the people are only awaiting an opportunity. The Administration dreads tke next election, and tke hope it yet kas to wpprets the voice of the people is to suppress the prest. To do this tbe more effectually it intends to suppress all tbe democratic papers and has already commenced in good earnest. Those it cannot suppress by mobs, it suppresses by dictatorial usurpation under the guise of law; and those it cannot suppress by law it suppresses by rootii; and those it cannot suppress in neither way,it refuses to carry in the mails! Was the like ever heard of before 1 On tbe approach ot an election the Presideut of the United States suppresses democratic papers to suppress tbe voice of the people, and make tbe re sult of the election have the sham appear ance of endorsing his usurpations, which even hi own friends in Congress refused to endorse !

V i T' F?ihtfcl Citelosom, Dr. Harlow, Medical Superintendant of rlie Maine Insane Hospital, has eliminated some startling ta?tcs of madness, demon strating the connecting links between dys .pepsia and insanity in a very impressive manney. In a pUin and lucid style he ex plains that the unhealthy condition of the Mdtnach is chiefly attributed to the dietetic bsbiisof the American people, that a strong sympathy exists between the brain and the stomach and in conclusion argues that mrm ing is more common than a deranged state of the stomach and bowels, and that indi gestion and confiveness ate the invaliable adjuncts of insanity. He finaly admits that all these predispositions can do counterac ted by proper care and attention a strict regimen, and the judicious use of vegetable medicines. The foregoing doctrine is noth ing more than an endorsement or corrob oration of the teatment prescribed by Dr. Holloway fifty years ago, and still practised by him with the - greatest success in all parts of the civilzed world. With the intu ition of a savant, Dr. Holloway, after great study and deep research, divined that the stomach was the parent source ot nearly all disorders, such as indigestion, headache liver complaint, mental and bodily prostra tion, and his celebrated Pills were the glori ous result of many years icientific investi gation. Through the stomach and circula tion these Pills act on tbe general system. They purify the blood, renovate the diges live organs, invigorate their action, and re store their natural tone and power. They stimulate the secretions of the liver, regu late the functions of the bowel, give buoy ancy to the animal spirits ; elasticity to the body, and health and vigor to the general constitution. Containing no mineral pre paration, they can be prescribed with as much benefit for the infants as lor the adult of either sex. "Weekly Journal" Tbe Democracy. How manly and magnanimous is the fol loYing from the New York Tunes (Repub lican), when compared with the groveling partisan bigotry of some papers, here abouts: "It would have been easy, perhaps, for the democratic masses ot the free States to have overthrown tbe government and per manently dissevered the Union, by refusing support to Mr. Lincoln when his inaugura tion menaced, and when, later, the suprem acy of the constitution was assailed by the practical assertion of the right of secession. But the Democracy did rot so read their safety. They loved their country more than party ; and in Mr. Lincoln they saw, not the succes-ful partisan candidate but the constitutional President of the United States. And, therefore, they anppored not grudgingly, but heartily as earnestly and zealously, in fact, as if he ha t been their own leader in the canvass that prece ded his election." Mobbing A democratic printing estab- lishment, in New Hampshire, has of late been carried upon the street and burned Another in Maine, valued at about $6,000, was served in the same way. The Kasion Sentinel and the West Chester Jeffenonian were also destroyed. In times like these when neither person or property are safe every democrat should be armed to delend himself and his property. If democrats I Vt nn r' nKt, inrmnra In anriplr nr in law. taxation begins ihere will be bad work be fore it will end This mobbing will yet end in the burning down of towns and cities, and a general destruction ol life and prop erty. It will be well for the people to con sider these things before it be to late! Ex change. Ths Chkmistrv or Mmhcikk Among the special delights which have so'ichly repaid oor visit to New England wa the in spection, it was onr privilege to make of Dr. J. C. Ayer & Co 's laboratory, at Low el'. Although we knew by hear-say, that it was large, yet we were surprised when we came into view of its real magnitude, and still more by the extent ar.d complication ol fact one vast chemical, laboratory, in which the proceses of this wounderful art are constantly going on. Medico-chemical scince has found that the curative properties of aoy sobstance exist in some one or more of its component parts. Thus the remedial effects of opium are due solely to the mor phia it contains, although this is but one eighteenth part of i'.s weight ; other seven teen parts are gum, extractive and inert or offensive matter. Dr Ayer's system jepa rates the medical properties of each sob stance employed and we are here shown the processes by which the virtues of each remedial agent are chased through the alembic until they come out completely pare at last. These concentrated, purified medical properties, or virtoen, sre finally combined together to produce the remedies which have made themselves a reputation lor unrivalled excellence, all over the world. Not only does the Doctor disclaim all se crecy in his art and explain every process and every particular but he maintains that this is the only process by which the peo ple can be 4opplied with the best possiblbe remedies for the treatment of disease Tbe Formula by which his remedies are made are published, in the medical Journals and have been presented to .a large part of the medical Faculty of the United States, and are constantly sent by mail to such physi cians as apply for them. Daily Chronicle, San Francisco. The Republican leaders last winter" were too stiff in politics, to yield one plank in their platform to save tbc coutrt. How can they now ask Democrats to yield their or ganization in order to save the Republican leaders 1 The question is a pertinent one just now.

It is broad enough to reach any such offenders against the peace and good order of society. It is well that it is so; it is well that men should so understand it ; in the excited state oi community, when differences of opinion sometimes lead to rash and aagoverned conduct, riot and gross disturbances may occnr in our midM ; and an abuse of the rights of indi viduals, originating sometimes only in sus picion, and incited by malicious feeling or personal em nity, acting on the excitability ol others, may perhaps be committed to the disgrace of the rounty. Mob law, or as it is termed, lynch law, should never be countenanced in any civilized community. I have been too long a supporter of the laws of tbe land to ever partially countenance what is thus called by a strange perversion, summary justice, when the rights of an indi vidual, without appeal, were to be submit ted to the arbitrary judgement of a preju diced and maddened crowd, too often exci ted beyond the countrol of either reason or humanity. With a number of people so gathered together, rumor is received as ev idence, suspicion acquires the force of proof and with the passions of the mob as the counsellors, they being the judges and the executioners of their own decisions, who can be considered safe ? The law may be slow in its action.and som times defective in execution, through the fallibility of officers, bu! it is better that th'u should be the case, evil and unfortunate as it may be, than the other danger of an unregulated and popular commotion, so obnoxious to every cool and reflecting mind. The law, when vindica ted, comes to an end, but popular and tu multuous disturbances lead to reactive and retaliatory measures fruitful of new distur bances and riot. The newspapers have spoken of such violent and lawless conduct in other places in the State, but it is hoped that Lozerne county may no, be disgraced by any proceeding of the same kind here. If persons, resident among us, offend against the provisions of the first act we have re ferred to, let them be prosecuted and then they can be punished under tbe law : it 1 will furnish but little cause for gratolation, if those who, under the sudden ebullition of alledged patriotism, seek to visit them with immediate and unlawful retribution, should thereby secure for themselves a sojourn in the prison or the penitentiary, besides the payment of a serious fine. The law against all such gatherings is plain, and renal consequences of a serious character upon offending, attend as its sanc tion. We read to you Sections 19 and 20, Title 3 vf the comoltda'ed Penil Ad. Pennsyl vania Laws 289 as applicable to the case. Section 19. If any person shall be con cerned in any riot, rout, oulawtut assembly, or an affray, and shall be thereof convicted he shall be guilty of a misdemeanor, and sentenced to pay a fine not exceeding five hundred dollars, or undergo an imprison ment not exceeding two years, or both, or either, at the discretion of the court; and in case any one is convicted of an aggravated riot, the court may sentence the offender to imprisonment Dy separate or solitary con finement at labor, not exceeding three years. Skction 20. If any person riotously and Itimultuously assembled together, to the disturbance of the public peace, hali un lawfully and with force, demolish, or pull down, or destroy, or begin to demolish, pull down, or destroy any public building, pri vate dwelling, church, meeltng house, stable barn, mill, granery, mall house or out-house or any building or erection used in carrying on any trade or manufacture, or any branch thereof, or any machinery, whether fixed or movable, prepared tor or employed in any inannfacture or any branch thereof, or any steam engine, or other engine for sinking, working or draining and mine, or any build ing or erection ued in conducting the busi ness of any mine or any bridge, wagon-way road or trunk, for conveying minerals from any mine, every such offender shall be euil ty of a misdemeanor, and being thereof convicted, shall be imprisoned by separate or solitary confinement at labor, or by sim ple imprisonment, not exceeding seven years. As I said to you with regard to the first law to which I called your attention, so now do I repeat, that your duties require, should any offenders against these latter sections be brought to your notice, to act promptly, and without fear, favor or affec tion ; my own acts as a Judjfeof this Court will be equally decisive, to endeaver to procure the conviction of clearly provided offenders, and to rnete out to them, if con victed, severe but proper punishment. My view in referring thus at some length to the two kinds of offences particularly be fore mentioned, has been lor the purpose of explaining how the rights of tbe public and of individuals are protected by the law, and of instructing you in your duty, if in any case you should be required to act in the premises. Sober and reflective citizens, by being thus informed of what the law is, may be better enabled by advice and cautionary measures to preserve the peace of society, and to prevent the personal differences of individuals leading to affrays, riots, tuoaolts, and bloodshed. I may observe that I have not referred to the acts of Congress relating to treason, consisting of levying war against, or adher ing to the enemies of the United States, giving them aid and comfort : these are of fences cognizable in the courts of the United States and there properly to be tried. ' Proceed then, gentlemen, to attend to your doty in all matters which may proper ly require yonr action : do that duty faith fully and fearlessly, and the reward will be the approbation of your own consciences, ar.d the thanks of all good citizens in the commrJity.

It is the only machine whose working is so snre and simple that I should venture to introduce it in Syria among a people who have only a moiiicum of mechanical skill. I am qnite snre I shall be able to bring it into use to some extent in that country.
