May his trees never go dead, his peaches never grow less, and his heart always be as large. TOMATOES.—From Mr. J. A HALL, of this place, we have recived a dozen and a half of the handsomest tomatoes we have ever seen. They weighed ten pounds. From Mr. JOHN FLENNER, of Henderson, we received three tomatoes, one of which weighed two pounds, the three five pounds. From Mr. ISAAC FISHER, of this place, we received one tomatoe, weighing one and three quarters of a pound. From Mr. JoHN COLDER, of Porter, we re ceived one tomatoe, weighing one pound. As our tomatoes failed entirely this season, these presents, great and small, came to hand just at the nick of time, and the gentlemen will please accept our thanks for the same. It is always in order to sign the pleege. Our County Fair Our farmers, mechanics, and everybody else in the county, are expected to contribute something towards making our first exhibi tion a credit to the county. Every farmer, every mechanic, every manufacturer, and others, can bring something, and they should not think of coming to see the show unless they can come prepared to contribute some thing for exhibition. Bring your best horse, your best cow, your best bull, your best sheep, your best heifer, your best oxen, your best hogs, your best agricultural implements, your best domestic manufactures, your best grain, your best mechanical implements and manufactures, your best fruit, your best veg etables, your handsomest flowers, your hand somest and best poultry from the turkey gob bler down to the fancy bantam ; your best of anything whether called for by the Society or not. Look about you—make a selection of somothing—and let us have an extensive show. You will be disappointed if you come empty handed. You, individually, will be ex pected to assist in placing the exhibition of Old Huntingdon number one on the list with the Fairs of other counties. Don't say you will think about it—determine at once that you will have something on the ground for exhibition. The Yellow Fever in Virginia. The Phila. Daily Argus of Monday evening says :—"The accounts from Norfolk and Portsmouth state that the small pox has been added to the horrors that envelope these two cities. No abatement has occurred in the virulence of the fever. Ten cases of small pox occurred at Norfolk on Saturday. The fever is spreading into the adjacent country. At Norfolk, on Friday, there were forty deaths, and up to noon on Saturday twenty five. At Portsmouth, on Friday, there were twenty two deaths and fifty new cases, and on Saturday at noon there were fifteen deaths. Two nurses from Baltimore were among the dead. Dr. Bryant, of Philadel phia, was reported to be dying. Dr. Morris, of Baltimore, was sick, and Dr. Marshall, of the same city, was put down among the hopeless cases. The Northern cities are sending forward all possible aid. in New York on Saturday over $lO,OOO 'was subscribed. The subscrip tions in this city amount to about $20,000; and in Baltimore to aver $20;000. Baltimore is also furnishing a camp at Old Point for the refugees, and sending forward provisions daily. A resolution is before the Councils of Washington to appropriate $5,000 to the relief of the sufferers. Blair County—Whig and Democratic Fusion Ticket The Democrats and old line Whigs of Blair held separate conventions last week and put in nomination the following ticket. For Assembly—Col. David H. Hofius. For Associate Judges—Jas. D. Rea, Joseph Feay. For Sheriff ;r -Samuel McCalmant. For Commissioner—Daniel C. Gibbony For Prothonotary—John Walker. For Directors of the Poor—Wm. McCormick, Samuel Shriner For Coroner—John B. Stewart For Auditor—John McGaw. Lions Outside Influence. The Hollidaysburg Democratic Standard truly remarks that "there never has been a second election held any where in the United States since the dark lantern organization has been in existence, at which they held their own. If they succeeded in carrying a second election at all, it has always been by a greatly reduced majority. We dare any member of the order to deny this fact.— Such a rapid rate of progressing backwards, must be highly edifying to the old office hunters. The secret of their success in their first ef forts lies directly in the fact that then they could wield an outside influence by FRAUD and DECEPTION that can never be brought to bear successfully a second time. 'Members of the order who were formerly known as Democrats, claimed to be Democrats still, and fnsnished men with tickets who despised the principles of the anti-Republican organi zation. The same may be said of the K. N. Whigs. It will thus be seen that large num bers of voters were virtually defrauded out of their votes by the dark lantern conspirators by the most unholy deception that could be concocted in the council chambers of men professing to be honest men and christians !" Already we hear of men, two or three in this borough, and several in the townships, who are incessantly at work to deceive those who may not know of their connexion with the dark lantern party. Voters be wide awake ! When you hear a man, professing to be either Whig or Democrat, speaking un favorably of the ticket put in nomination by the Whigs and Democrats of this county, put him down as one of the "cunning chaps" the Councils have employed to de ceive you. Democrats and Whigs, to a man, will vote the fusion ticket. (CP' The nomination by the Republican (Abolition) Convention which assembled at Pittsburg a few days since, of Passmore Wil liamson of Philadelphia, for Canal Commis sioner, is warmly received by his abolition and amalgamation brethren throughout the State. He is at present confined in jail in Philadelphia, for contempt of Court, and is the gentleman who figured in the abduction of Col. Wheler's slaves recently. After the present campaign, Know Nothingism will find itself swallowed up by the darky party. Mr. Williamson, we see by the procedings of the Convention has already been swallow ed up. 117' As our Know Nothing neighbors, the Joitrnal and the American, have got into each others wool, each claiming to be the organ of their party, we will take a back seat for the present—hold their bonnets, and give the richest of their arguments in a fu ture number of the Globe. So fay, the Amer ican is a leetle ahead—but some think Gabe will bring the Journal square up this week. THE PARTY Of CONTRADICTIONS.—The citizens who are to vote at the .coming elec tions should demand of the Know-Nothing oracles to solve the following singular mass of contradictions : Know-Nothingism is national in the South and sectional in the North ; secret in New York and open in Georgia; Catholic in Lou isiana and Protestant in New England ; black in Maine and white in Virginia: it swears the son to proscribe the foreigner, even if that foreigner should be that son's father ; it opposes the caucus, and settles its candidates in packed cabals ; it elevates the negro and degrades the adopted citizen ; it curses all monarch, and adopts the creed of George the Third against emigration ; it abu ses the Pope, and declares itself infallible; it assails the Spanish Inquisition, and imi tates its clandestine persecutions; it profes ses Christianity and proscribes its neighbor; it adores the Bible and shoots down the un offending citizen ; it adores the constitution, and sets up a test by that constitution prohib ited; it pays a premium for treason to friend ship, and affixes the brand of perjury upon all who refuse to obey its obligations ; It asks for free schools, and proscribes poor, helpless female teachers; it repudiates the Catholic and admits the Infidel;—to crown all, it per secutes the most eminent native citizen who does not approve its mummeries, and pro tects the lowest of ruffians—it discards an Edward Everett for a William Poole.—Wash ington Union. [a — The Whigs in all the counties of the State have refused this fall to fuse with the Know-Nothings in the selection of county tickets. In many counties straight-out Whig tickets have been nominated—in others, as in this, the Whigs have fused with the Dem ocrats. Know Nothingism will be nowhere after the 2d Tuesday of October next, their game of brag to the contrary notwithstand ing. Er 7 'Fhe Know Nothings have not yet nominated a ticket. On Friday next, we un derstand, the councils will meet for the pur pose of bringing the contest to a close. Wanted Immediately, At this office, a boy to learn the printing business The Way to Test Them. Why is it that we can publish the name of any individual as a Democrat or a Whig with out eliciting the least objection and if we publish him as a Know-Nothing he at once takes exception, and complains that we are blackguarding him? A Democrat or a Whig is not ashamed to be known as such; a Know Nothing takes it unkindly if you hint it of him—intimates that it will injure him. In the name of common sense, then, why do you affdate with an organization that you are ashamed of, and think it a disgrace to be charged with having a connection with it ! Ts this the course or conduct of an honorable man 1 Action speak louder than words. Gentlemen should not form associations which mantle their brow with shame to have their connection with them known.—Lewistown _Democrat. COMMUNICATION S. TRAUGH CREEK, Sept. 1, 1855. Mr. Editor—lt is well known in the wlit ical circle that an election came off in the K. N. Councils during the past week. Can didates for the different county offices were voted for. The two candidates receiving the highest number of all the votes cast for candidates for Legislature will be voted for by the councils at a subsequent election, and of the two, the one receiving the highest number of votes will be the K. N. candidate, and so for the other offices. A council in our vicinity that ten months ago boasted its seventy initiated members, made a move to hold an election, but unfor tunately, a half dozen members could not be had to meet. One who is well known for his political tactics, remarked that his friends had hit upon a happy idea that would be practised in cases of this kind, which was that the council give a running vote at a three days election. Accordingly a paper with all the candidates names arranged thereon was put in circulation, one carried it awhile ; another and another took charge of it; finally the tactician was reported to have made five marks for his favorite candidate. In the mean time returns were received from other councils, and the favorite candidate was known to be safe. The once mammoth council of Walker was heard from. It poll ed twelve votes. Our boys closed their polls and forwarded on their return, remarking that they might have held a meeting and a regular election, if their luke warm mem bere had the same incentives to actiorras the Walker boys who were rallied by the Hun tingdon Council, every active member of which is a candidate for_ office. Thus it is that corruption is to be driven frcm the old parties. Americans shall rule America, and the office must seek the man and not the man the office. Mr. Editor—Will you permit me to pub lish my views on the subject of Know Noth ingism in your paper. Know Nothingism is unscriptural, which may be seen from the following quotations, viz : Exodus 12th chapter, 48th verse, And when a stranger shall sojourn with thee, and will keep the passover to the Lord, let all his males be cir cumcised, and then let him keep it ; and he shall be as one born in the land : and one law shall be to him that is home-born, and unto the stranger that sojourneth among you. Numbers, 9th chap. and 14th verse, And if a stranger shall sojourn among you, and will keep the passover unto the Lord, according to the ordinance of the passover, and according to the manner thereof, so shall he do : ye shall have one ordinance both for the stranger and for him that is born in the land. And again. One ordinance shall be both for you of the congregation, and al so for the stranger that sojourneth with you, an ordinance for ever in your generations, as ye are so shall the stranger be before the Lord—one law and one manner shall be for you and for the stranger that sojourneth with you. Read Leviticus chap. 19th verses 33, 34,—And if a stranger sojourn with thee in your land, ye shall not vex him ; but the stranger that dwelleth with you shall be un to you as one born among you, and thou shalt love him as thyself ; for ye were stran gers in the land of Egypt : I am the Lord your God. Also, Ezekiel, chap. 47th, verses 2l,st 22d, 23(1,—50 shall ye divide this land unto you according to the tribes of Israel. And it shall come to pass; that ye shall divide it by lot for an inheritance unto you, and to the strangers that sojourn among you ; which shall beget children among you ; and they shall be unto you as bort in the country among you the children of Iscael ; they shall havo inheritance with you among the tribes of Israel. And it shall come to pass, in what tribe the stranger sojourneth, there shall ye give him his inheritance, saith the Lord God. Also, Leviticus 24th chap. 22d verse,—Ye shall have one manner of law, as well for the stranger as for one of our own country : for lam the Lord your God. Also, Exodus 22d chap. 21st verse,—Thou shalt neither, vex a stranger, nor oppress him : for ye were strangers in the land of Egypt. These quo tations, it seems to me, are sufficient to satis fy every candid individual that Know Noth ingism is unscriptural in its social and politi cal aspects. 2dly, Its modes of operation are contrary to the word of God—We are commanded to let our light shine before men that others may see our good works, but Know Nothingism shuns the light, and con sequently is condemned by our Saviour who says, St. John 3d Chapter and 19th, and 20th, verses, And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. For every one that doeth evil ha teth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. How ap plicable is this to the Know nothings who wander in the dark hours of the night to their lonely haunts, and old forsaken store an schoolhouses, and even corn-field, to con coct their plans in the dark for the purpose of entrapping the un weary and carry out their corrupt and persecuting plans. From these, with other arguments which might be drawn from the word of God, I conclude that no man belonging to and holding on to Know Noth ingism, can be a true Christian, and that ev ery true Christian church ought to take mea sures to purge itself of the evil, Franklin township. Curious Doings of the Abolitionists. We copy from the Pittsburgh. papers the following proceedings of the Abolition Con vention in that city on Wednesday evening, as showing far more truthfully than any comments on their fanatical proceedings could show, the character of the men and the tendency of their measures. But to the proceedings. Their raciness will pay perusal. Their absurdity will force a smile even to the face of the misanthrope. The matter under consideration was the nom ination of a candidate for canal Commission er, and we copy the proceedings, capitals and all, as they appear in the Pittsburgh pa pers : Mr Howe moved that there be no nomina tion made at the present time, and that the whole matter be laid upon the table. They might not only deceive themselves, but oth ers, by a hasty nomination. John Williamson, of Huntingdon, said that the Convention had met for the purpose of making a nomination i and asked what the people of Pennsylvania would say should they adjourn without doing so. Mr. Darsie thought there was a misunder standing about the matter. He understood that the object of Mr Howe was not to waive the nomination, but to place it in the hands of a committee about to be appointed. The motion to lay it on the table was lost A motion was made by Samuel Aaron, of Norristown, to amend the amendment, by withdrawing the name of Mr. Lloyd, and substituting that of PASSMORE WILLIAM SON. He urged the nomination in a spirited speech, saving that as much doubt seemed to be manifested by the Convention as to the popularity and capacity of the gentleman named, there was no doubt that Mr. Wil liamson was sufficiently known and tried. Mr. Fenn remarked that Mr. Williamson being incarcerated could not act, even if elected. Rev. Sam'l Aaron replied that if they would repair to that prison, with no other arms than those which God has given them and tear it down, stone by stone [Here the cheering was deafening that we could not hear the conclusion of the gentleman's re marks.] Somebody suggested that the prison be torn down first, and the nomination made af terward. A wrangling discussion ensued on parlia mentary rules. Many motions and amendments were of fered, tending to get rid of Passmore Wil liamson, and great excitement ensued. All the amendments were negatived, and the resolution of the Committee, as amend ed by substituting the name of PASSMORE WILLIAMSON, was adopted. Mr. Fenn moved to amend by striking out the name of Passmore Williamson and sub stituting that of A. H. Reeder. Lost. Hisses and intense excitement. Mr. Blakely moved to strike out the name of Mr. Williamson, and substitute that of— [here the hisses and demonstration of disap probation became so intense and deafening that the speaker was obliged to sit down.] Mr. Fenn moved that WM. LLOYD GARRISON be•the candidate of the Conven tion for President of the United States.— [Hisses, and cries of kick him out.] Mr Fenn stated that he merely wished to go the "whole hog." The President became agitated, and remar ked that no one had any business to make such a motion. They were:not here to nom inate a candidate for the Presidency. Mr. Fenn and Mr. Blakely said that the new party was killed entirely by the nomi nation of PASSMORE WILLIAMSON as its standard-bearer. BROAD TOP Several of the most prominent ,gentlemen around the stand, suggested that the will of the Convention was decidedly in favor of PASSMORE WILLIAMSON, and that there was no use in trying to annul that vote, Prominent members shook their heads, bit their lips--and some muttered "folly," "mad ness," fanaticism," etc. Hon. Joshua R. Giddings was then loudly called upon, and proceeded to make a speech on the "Mission of the Republican Party."— He was loudly cheered throughout, and spoke up to a late hour in the evening. At the conclusion of Mr. Giddings' speech, Mr. Wm. B. Thomas, of Philadelphia, wish ed to say a word or two in reference to their candidate, MR. WILLIAMSOM. He is a thor ough business man, and is by profession a conveyancer. He is about thirty-five years of age, and has al ways been a voting aboli tionist. He is not of the Garrison school and is now a thorough Republican, and will hear tily endorse the platform of this Conven tion. Mr. Howe, of Crawford, was called upon, and made a few remarks. He said it had been suggested that we should request Judge Kane to release Passmore Williamson before placing him in nomination. He spurned and despised such a course. He agreed with his friend, Mr. Aaron, and was in favor of re leasing their norr it:ee by tearing down the State prison, steno by stone—not leaving one block upon another. After a fcy. , rt. - marks from Hon. John Alli son, of Beaver, the Convention adjourned. In Huntingdon on the Bth inst., by Rev. 0. 0. McLean, Mr. JAMES M.
