breast was torn and bloody, as when I saw and Democrats were alike enthusiastic to have
it with my spirit vision. My companion com

bonds by all legal and constitutional means.
It is foolish for the Gazette to parade this
charge of inconsistency against the Democ

county at the uutstart occupied precisely the
same position. We have not attacked the
nominees upon the Republican ticket for fa
voring railroad subscriptions, and yet we are
safe in saying that every man upon that tick
et did so favor them. Take Laoheus Patter

fur railroads and especially for the Allegheny
Valley, at the time the subscriptions were
made, and now he pledges himself not to T.:iv
the interest, if he is elected Commissioner.—
Why does not the Gazette pitch into Zachris?
He occupies precisely the same ground with
those whom the Gazette has named.
There is not the least inconsistency t•hargefes

OUR CANDIDAOUE FOR SHERIFF
The Gazette, of yeterday, devotes nearly a
column to the advocacy of the claims of Mr,
James L. Graham, upon the voters of the coma•
ty, for the office of sheriff. We presume Mr.
Graham's name has peen selected from the
ticket, and made a speciality, because his
friends have ascertained that, strong as they
pretend to think him, he needs special advo
cacy, to keep him from lasing ground, which
he has been doing every day since the Demme
ocratio ticket came into the field. We have
nothing to say against Mr. Graham person
ally; he stands forth as a man before his fel
low citizens, but he does nut stand higher„
nor are his claims for election so strong up
on the voters of the county, as those of
Barnes Ford, whom, with great unanimity,
the Democracy has selected as their candi
date. Mr. Ford has been a working Demo
crat all his life. He is a sound, practical
business man, and comes before the people,
fully qualified in all respects, to fulfil the du
ties of the office. He resides in the country
—a plain farmer, and while he has zaade an
honest livelihood, for himself and his fathily,
by the sweat of his brow, he has not been so
fortunate as Mr. Graham has, in the accu.
mulation of wealth. He is unblemished in his
character and political antecedents. He has
never been mixed up with railroad matters,
and is especially acceptable to the voters of
the several districts, not only on this account,
but for his well known manly independence
of character. In the position of sheriff, he
will be an unexceptionable officer. It is not
necessary for us to parade his good qualities
by the column—his position as a sound and
reliable Democrat, and an old and respecta
ble citizen, known to almost every citizen of
the county, give him a prestige of success
which has manifestly frightened Mr. Graham
and the Gazette. We
do not wonder:at it.

when they purchased, ;in I 1,,i% tli.it
has been made in paying the interest by the
railroad companies, it is eminently proper
that the agents of the county should resist its
payment, until the courts hare decided what
it is the duty of the county, in law an I iu
equity, to do in the premises.
The Gazette's attempt to fasten the charge
tit inconsistency upon the Democracy in this
behalf is simply ridiculous, for its own can
did ,tee are precisely in the same posit.' it as
Intricate legal questiins which have ari
en in regard to this interest, fully justify - a
men of prudence and cactiun in the desire to
have them judicially settled. It is not for its
position of resistance to the payment of rail
road interest in adyancl of such deopion, that
we object to the action of the Deru,,,wratie Con
vention. It is because that body has made
this question, which hits nothing
Ilemocratie principles, a test -tion if I
mocracy, that our objection

crats as this, for opinions hich ili may
honestly and sincerely and intelligently enter
tain, upon a question of a purely loital chars
ac ter, which does not appertain t.. the 1.),- m os
eratic or any other political platform,
Democratic, and will always be scouted ny
every honest adherent of our party. It is to
this tyrannical and before unheard of as
sumption of a power which they never pos,
sessed, on the part of the Conve tion, to
which we object, and nut to the gene, doc
trine of resistance to illegal taxation. It is
the adoption of secondary and local issues,
such as have proved so disastrous to the party
which opposes us, and which can but weaken
the forces of our own party, if persisted in to
the exclusion of the vastly more important
issues which we profess, as members of a
great national organization to maintain,whieh
we, as Democrats, refuse to acknowledge and
submit to.
The weapons which the Gazelle is using
against the Democratic ticket, if they have
any effect, must operate as a two edged
sword, cutting full as deeply into the Re•
publican ticket as it does into the Demo
cratic. But, as we have shown, the position
of the Gazette in this matter is an erroneous
one. Those who were once iu favor of rail
road subscriptions are not by any means in
consistent in the position which they now oc
cupy, In asking for the bonds and in selling
them, they based their action upon a contract
that the interest should be paid by third par,.
ties, and all they now ask is a fulfillment of
this contract, or, if it is impossible to compel
its fulfillment, that the courts should decide
upon whom the loss equitably should fall. In
order that our remarks may be understood, we
append an extract from the Gaze/Vs article,
giving the names of some who occupy the
position which the Gazette says is inconsist
ent, but which we' contend is not so:
" Believing the contemplated railroad to be
an improvement of great value to this city and
county generally, in advancing the value of

deceived the Temperance men in New York,
by promising them a severe liquor law, and
then, after being put in power, neglecting
to do it. With the aid of Mr. Delevan and

On motion, John Graham Esq., was declar
ed unanimously the nominee for Congress.
On motion, it was resolved that Hon. Sam
uel Marshall, Lewis 1. Mitchell, Esq., and A .
S. M'Bride be appointed Conferees to meet
the Conferees of Allegheny county ; and that !
they are hereby instructed to support the
nominee of this Convention.
As James A. Gibson, Esq., was the last
Democratic nominee for:the 22d District, it is
conceded that Butler county is entitled to the
selection of the candidate for Congress this
! fall. Mr Graham is a lawyer of talent, and
a sound and reliable Democrat, and will be
heartily supported by the Democracy of the
District. lie resides in the town of Butler,
and is ni ust highly esteemed, not only for his
talents, but fur his unblemished no char,
The Convention adopted a series of rest) ,
lutions, a portion of which we copy
Reaole,d, That the Democratic party of Butler
county, in Convention assembled, do re-assort
and declare that we are unalterably attached to
and will maintain inviolate the priomples avowed
by the National Convention, held at Cincinnati
in June, 1556.
S. That we avow, with renewed energy, our
devotion to the Federal Union, our earnest desire
to put down sectional str,fe, our determination
to maintain inviolate the sovereignty of the
States, and to defend and potent every Etato
and Territory cud the people thereof in their
constitutional rights.
3. That the people of every Territory, in the
formation of a State Constitution, have a right
to decide at the ballet , bos, by a full and fair
election, upon all the provisions of that Consti
tution. . .
4. That the complicated questions, arising out
of the presentation to Congress of the Lecomp
ton Constitution, having been referred to the
people of Kansas, and they having passed upon
them by a fair electiuu, are now to be considered
as disposed of by the people themstives j and
that there i 3 no further cause of d 131,1110 or dif
ference about them
, That the people of Kansas having refused
to ba admitted into the Union as a State, under
the Leoompton Constitution, we, 113 Democrats,
recognize their right to be admitted into the
Union, whenever they make applicition therefor,
and present to Congress a Constitution adopted
by a majority of the citizens of said territory at
a fair election, and that the member of Con
gress nominated by this Convention, if elected,
is hereby instructed to vote in asoordance with
these resolutions.
6. That we hold in high estimation and full
confidence, James Buchanan, as a statesman of
ripe experience, parity of character and honesty
of purpose, and that whatever difference of
opinion may have existed as to this or that
measnre of this administration, our confidence in
him remains undiminished.
7. That we are in favor of ti tariff, for revenue,
and that in the adjustment of the details thereof,
that the largest possible amount of protection
should be demanded and given to the great in
terest of Pennsylvania, consistent with the rights
of the citizens of other States.
9. That tiovernor Win F. Packer is a states
man of ability and experience, and is entitled to
the continued confidence of the people of the
State.
10. That in William A. Porter, tue Democratic
candidate for Supreme Judge, we have a sound
judge, an enlightened jurist and an upright man.
11. That Westley Frost, the candidate f,:a: Ca
nal Commissioner, is worthy of the support and
confidence of the Democracy.
17. That a system of Common School educa
tion, affording to every man's child within the
Commonwealth an opportunity to acquire the
rudiments of a sound Eng'ish education, is a part
of the Democratic creed, and underlies the
growth and prosperity of our free institutions.
But while we are thus wedded tc such a system,
we are opposed to County Superintendents, Nor
mal Schools, and High Schools being supported
by taxation, and all other departures and inno
vations from what we have above expressed and
believe to he the intention of Its founders.
18. That the practical operatiops of the pres
ent Common School law iu Pennsylvania has im
posed burdens on the people too grievous to be
borne, and bria failed to accomplish its et iginal
pi/uric:to, to wit: the education of the people,
and that we are decidedly in favor of so amend
ing and reforming the system, as that it will ac
complieh its original intention and at the same
time materially diminish its expense

Resolved, That we have full confidence in the
wisdom, integrity and patriotism of our worthy
Cheif Magistrate James Buchanan,and congratu
late the Democracy of the Ste.l4 that she has
given the nation a President who has shown him
self a worthy successor of Washington, Jefferson
and Jackson.
- .
Resolved, That the firmness, decision and ad
ministrative ability with which the President
and Cabinent have met, resisted, and forever put
to rest the insolvent claims of Great Britain on
the " Right of Search " question, challenges
the administration of the world, and places the
United States in a position among the other
great Nations of the Earth.
Resolved, That the long vexed and threatening
difficulty in Kansas having been settled by the
people of that Territory, to whom, alonetelongs
the right to do so, we assert it to be the duty of
Democrats to acquiesce in such settlement, and,
instead of contending with each other over a
dead issue, to endeavor to promote fraternal har
mony in our ranks.
Resolved, That the charge of " extravagance "
so often raised by the opponents of Democracy
comes with a bad grace from a party whose rul
ing passion" is " the spoils." Who have never
held power,but to abuse it,whose representatives
have uniformly voted for all the reckless and
extravagant appropriations proposed, and whose
officers have over depleted the public Treasury,
when in ^ each of it by theirGalphinism, extra
pay and other applicances peculiar to themselves.
Resolved, That in Wm. F. Packer, the Democ
racy have given the State a Governor of which
her people may well be proud, and if his past is
an index to his future they have much to hope
and nothing to fear from his policy.
Resolved, That 'Wm. A. Porter, and Westley
Frost, the Democratic candidates for Supreme
Judge, and Canal Commiaaionetlare Democrats
well tried,and their high moral and political char
acters entitle them to the cordial and enthusiastic
support of the entire Democracy of the State.
Crawford Calmly.
The Democratic County Convention met at
'Meadville on Tuesday last. The following
ticket was placed in nomination:
Congress—Hon. Gaylord Ccurch, Meadville.
Senate—D. M. Farelly, EN , Meadville.
Assembly—Samuel B. Long, Woodcock.
Associate Judges—Thomas J. Lowrey, Con

[For the Morning Post.]
As it is pretty well understood, (indeed the
apongy.iiennedy asserts) that all articles abusing
the Post and the prominent Democrats of this
city, came from the stone corner inhabited by
government officials. Will they be good enough
to delegate "Fair Play" to give his opinion of
the Democracy of R. Biddle Roberts, David
Campbell, Samuel Jones, Jacob M'Collister an 4
James Hardman, whose names are appended to
the-" Protest." The Democracy of Messrs. Wil
kins, Sheer, Hepburn, Hamilton and others, is
doubted by the clallhopper who writes' for the
Press. The majority of those mentioned were
fighting the battles of the'Demoorotio party, be

PHILADELPHIA, September.lo.—The Railroad
Presidents remained in !essiortmost of the night
and the greater part of to-day. The agreement
of the sth of July has been gone ever, article by
article, and they were agreed upon with some
exceptions, tha representatives of New York and
Erie joining in the arrangement. The points
which could not be readily adjusted were 'the'
rules which fixed the rates for all rail and water
carriage. I t was finally agreed that there should
be separate rates for each. Recess has been tak
en to allow the freight agents to settle these
rates if they agree lAA the Presidents approve.
The main difficulty will be overcome: The final
result will not be reached before midnight, if
then The ProspeCts, however, are good for a
satisfactory adjustment and return to fair rates.

Closing Proceedings of the Republican
Sranousn, N. Y., September 9.—The Commit
tee on Resolutions reported. A motion to strike
out the one extending the term of naturalization
was lost by a large vote. The committee also
reported that they were still considering the re
port of the Committee of Conference, and while
there is an obvious disagreement in regard to
certain theories of political faith between this
and the American Convention, there is sufficient
concurrence on all questions of immediate public
concern to warrant a Union ticket. (Cheers.)
The report was adopted by a large majority amid
much excitement.
Mr. Chapin, of Lawrence, moved that the
Convention now proceed to nominate a candidate
for Governor. Adopted. Letters were read
from Gov. King and Lieut. Gov. Selden, declin
ing a renomination. The first ballot was then

nomination of Mr. Morgan Niat3 made unanimous

operation with the Republicans. The conference
committee report was adopted, and a committee

ic report of the discussion.
A Case of Eight Month.? Standing Cured by
Bterhave's Holland
Michael Kelly, No. 117 Seventh, near Grant street,
Pittsburgh, says :
"Last July, while running on the river, on a cot
ton boat plying between Natchez and New Orleans,
I was taken with Fever and Ague. For eight long
months I suffered with this dreadful disease. Tho
greater part of this time I was unable to work, and
spent at least fifty dollars for different medicines,
but found no permanent relief. Three weeks ago,
one of my friends insisted upon my trying Bterhave's
Holland Bitters, saying that a cure was guaranteed.
After taking it tor one week, I must say I was a
sound man. I have been at work now for two weeks
and have had no return of the Chills or Fever what
ever."
