PEACHES.—On Monday last, Mr. J. IL
MCCARTNEY, of Henderson, made us a pres
ent of a peck, full and running over, of the
most delicious Peaches we have ever had the
pleasure of testing. 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.

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.

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,

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.
