The Skies are Bright,
We b avo never known a Gubernatori

Lomeaster to most with

Form. Theft is not disscmting
iroicolicard anywhere amongst Demo
crats, and even the rankest of the Op

antly, that hare a strong and unex
eksptionabk: uc,minee—ono who is, in
every respect, the peer of any man in
the Commonwealth, end who, if elect
ed, will make a model Executive.
With fen. Forma us our candidate,
the victory will bo comparatively easy,
if our friends throughout the State all
do their duty. Ilia personal and

his eminent talents are undisputed.—

they know him to be honest, capable
and deserting. In the western part of
the State he is the idol of the masses,
and he will poll such a vote in his own
district alms rarely, if ever, been given
to any Gubernatorial candidate before.
Let our Democratic friends, then,
everywhere prepare for the great battle
which is rapidly approaching. The
Democratic party of Ponnsylvanra,
when united, 'Alit now is, never has
been, and what Is more, never can be,
defeated, unless through supineness end
want of proper energy. The enemy
gill be active and unscrupulous, and
we must meet them with the utmost
activity and determination. The peo
ple are with us—we have truth on our
Bide--aud a glorious success will crown
our welkiirected and energetic efforts
in the good cause.
?h• :Monster Meeting.
The Ledger calls the meeting held at
the National 110, Philadelphia, on
Monday evening week, to ratify the
nomination of Hon. llama Forms,
for Governor, "an immense jam." It
was one of the largest gatherings ever
assembled m that city. Every portion
of the immense hall was filled and it was
foand necessary to organize another
meeting outside. Speeches were made
by lion. H. B. Fright, John Cessna,
ltichard yaux, Win. Moiliinney, Josiah
Randall, and others. Outside, addres
ses were made by Messrs. Deckert,

V Ling to themselves the public funds.--
1 The last disgraceful diseloseure or this
kind is the report of the committee np- t
pointed to inquire into the defalcations
of Peck, the Republican treasurer of /
' the State of Maine. A long statement •
from this wretched culprit is published,
showing that in reg ard to many instan
ces
of misapplication of the money of ,
`that State, he was only the tool of oth
ore-..among them n member of the pros., ,
eat House of Representstives—who I
s . I
$
donbeess, 'cordially unites with his
brethren on the Republican side in 1
ealumniating the Executive I The
"statement" of Pock, and the report of
the committee, are too long for inser-1
tion in our columns ; but the following!
paragraphs from the Boston (curler
embody the main points :
"No sooner was he installed Into his
office of State Treasurer, according to'
his own account, than he was surround-!
ed by a set of harpies, to whom hel
readily enough yielded, and whet led ,
him on by borrowing the public money
of him and inducing him to engage in I
speculations for their mutual benefit, for(
which he furnished all the funds. The!
teinfederates allege that, they had no I
idea this was the money of the State !
—not they! although before his op.
pottrtenent not one of them would have ; ;
thought of calling on Mr. Peck for such
a purism°, and although his salary nal
State Treasurer was only 81,600. IleS
declares that he was urgently impor
tuned by hie bondsmen and others to i
teed theta 'the money of the State ' and l
the circumstances of the case give a'
validity to his amount of it to which
unsupported it would not be entitled.
Among those most active in thus cheat
ing the State, the banks, and varioue'
individuals out of 8180,000, the sum oft
the deficiency, is Mr. George W. Wes
ton, who is now preferring the modest I
claim "shin our own Treasury for
05,000, for which our members of Con
gress, who are conversant with the
subject, declare be rendered no services
whatever—and those who are familiar ' !
with it out of Congress, kuuw that. he l I
could have- rendered tie more than
Hanscom. For this large deficiency of; '
5120,000, of which over 3'34,000 is due
to the State of Maine, Mr. Peck hand.
somely intimates in his concession, 'I ',
am fully' determined to make tit the
reparation in my power.' His power'
to make any seems very limited, as he!
elsewhere declares he has not 83t10 in'
the world, and his prospects for milk- !
ing any are not very flattering, utter
such afi exposure.
" The parties most deeply implicated
in these nefarious transuc:ions, in coin.l,
plicity with Peek, besides the regular;
rogues, seem to be Neal Dow, the fa-1
mous temperance advocate, and Mr. 1).1'
E. Scnes, at pi esent Republican mem-1
ber of Congiess from the York din- i
triet of Maine. Dow borrowed money ,
freely from Peek, being ono of his :
bondsmen, and upon the occurrence of,
the crash took away Peck's safe, and a ,
Mr. Shirley, acting, we presume, on be
half of Dow, abstracted therefrom an
obligation of litlik's for the amount of
which he was liable, upon the delicate
ground that he did not 'wish to be mixed
up in the matter. This is a desire in
which we pres"nine ell parties concern-'
ed concur. As to Sonies, Le is alluded l
to in such very free terms by Peck
• himself, in his confession, that comment;
is scarcely warranted. His deliberate- l
Iy-fraudulent purpose is expressly ii.ti
; ipated by Peck, and his nun-payment ;
41 money so borrowed, without the ex-'
l cuse of that inability which, naturally,
l enough, has subsequently overtaken
him, shows a base disposition to cheat
his friend who lent loin money, or the,
State, it it b huuld so happen, not at all
inconsistent with the code or muLtsl
practiced by certain modern politicians,i
I but which is sure to turn out. terribly- l
to their disadvantage in the end.
I " Mr. Sues timy well be left to the
I reputation he has thus acquired and to
ku constituents, when they come to
vote again, though they ought to call
l upon him forthwith to resign a place l
; in which he can render them no service, $
I and must find himself uneunito:table l
among mon with any pretence of honor.
It is evident that the confession is in-1
, complete in its details, though we judge
1 the general features of the case to be
{ sloth with all the fulness to be ex.!
peeted." i
Such is a specimen of the manner in '
which the public parse is guarded where;
Republicanism is able to secure political
ascendancy. And yet these factionists
{ • pretend that a transfer of the Federal
Government out of Democratic hands)
is called ter, on account of abuse and'

The Opposition throughout the State,
says the York Gazette, are affecting a
great deal of sympathy for Messrs.
Witte and Fry, who were before the
Reading Convention as candidates fur
nomination, and were nnsneeessful.—
This is very kind, and tnuet be excieed
ingly consolatory to the gentlemen afore
said. While they are engaged in this
work of benevolence, we would advise
them to extend some of their compassion
to Messrs. Covode, Taggart, & Co.,
who were distanced, in the Republican
Convention, by Mr. Curtin. The nom
ination of Gen. liratxr D. Form is,
no doubt, very disagreeable to the Op
position forces, but as there is . no way
of changing the matter, they might
just as well take it eoolly,and not waste
their time in lamenting the ill success of
two gentlemen who will not thank thorn
for their sympathy.
wirGeo. Horsy D. FOSTER, the Dem
ocratic nominee for Governor, has been
singularly unfortunate In his efforts to
obtain public office. He ran for Canal
Commissioner in 1846, and was defeat
ed by Jamos M. Power, the Whig can
thdAce, by newly nine thou Sand majori
ty. In 1856, and again in 1857, ho
turned np as a candidate for the United
States Senate, but was defeated in ono
case by Senator Bigler, and in the other
by Jobn W. Forney. In IbsB General
Foster ran for Congress in his district,
which is strongly Democratic, and waft
defeated toy Jobn Covodo to the tune of
eleven hundred.
We find the above paragraph going
the rounds of the Opposition newspa
pers, and are astonished that the editors
of the Pittsburg Dispatch and the Pitts
burg Chronicle, who arc reputed to po
seise a great deal of general information,
should be misled into such misstate
ments as are contained therein. That
Gon. Henry D. Foster was a candidate
for Canal Commissioner, either in 1846
or at any other time, will be news to
him and hie party. Mr. Wm. B. Fos
ter, who but a few days since died in
Philadelphia, was the Democratic can
didate for that °Oleo at the time.
That Gen. Foster was a candidate for
Congress in 1858 is true, but that this
District is "strongly Democratic" is
rather against the figures.
In 18U, the Opposition majority for
Congress was 2760. In 1856, it was
1535, and in 1858 it was brought down
by Gcn. Foster to 975.
These figures prove that although the
District is not " strongly Democratic,"
yet it is rapidly becoming "weakly Op
position," 'and that but a little whab
must elapse - before it will likely be en
tirely revolutionised.- -Green:burg Dem

dozen vines bearing, of Catawba end Is/shells,
and think the Catawba preferable. Consider
them very pro table for cultivation. I last
fall tastedsome 32 different va-ieties, and would
give the Diana the preference above all others
I have tasted.
B. A. Burkholder-1 WAS in Petersburg last
fall. While there I was shown an Isabella
grape vine. Be said there

from Baltimore that offered him $lOO for the
grapes. I would recommend for cultivitioa
the Catawba and Diane.
Prerident said he thought the planting or
fruits of all kinds, particularly in this county,
had been enprely too much neglected. Ac
cording to the population there was more fruit
raised 20 years ago then at the present time.
Some old men any that its no use for them to
plant orchards at this age of lite with them.—
llis advice was to plant now ; that it was never
too late to do good if you do not UT* to re
ceive the benefits, do something for the rising
generation. He blamed the nurserymen for nut
urging the planting of more fruit in this county.
Why do they not advertise in our county pa

need not be afraid of raising mare fruit than
they can dispose of, as the demand for green
