Probably never, since the formation of rxir Federal Constitution, were National and State parties go much disintograted.aa tlwj are at this day. Following in the wake of the division of the largest Reli gioui denominations in the Union, Parties are also divided. The subject of Slavery lies at the basis of all these dissensions, and in spite of the efforts of Union-savers t-t hush opposition to SI a very -grasp inps l y the hypocritical cry of "Peace ! peace 1" the question of Slavery is becoming the treat, the Practical Question of the Day j and Slavery or Freedom must triumph. There is the same confusion in State politics. Half-a-dozen organizations exist in soma States. In Pennsylvania, the 1 democratic Convention adjourned in con fusion with but a half-digested platform. The Americans had a secession from their Council, and the same Slave question is reeding thera into antagonistic factions. And the Whigs have had no distinct as hcmblage whatever, this season. One good result of the recent political revolution has been to break the yoke of mere par' caucuses, and leave Freemen to aet, os they ever should act, without being bound to any faction or party, but free to pnt forward and to support just such men and such measures as they in dividually believe will be best for the country. Henceforth, let us hope that no party will be so strong as to carry any measure because it is a party measure so strong as to elect any man because he is its nominee. Let every measure stand or fall upon its own worthiness ; every candidate bo elected because of his personal merit rr fitness. Then every partyjrould strive to advance only just aod wise principles to select the best and most deserving of men for office, and thereby to win the favor of the people. In Union county ,the Whigs and Dem ocrats' are divided into two parties each, with four Standing Committees. The Division question has run its ploughshare through the old parties but, that issue being virtually and we understand con fessedly decided, the question arises, II hat shall lie the manner of selecting candidate for County OJlrs f Independent Nominations are proposed by some ; and it is urged, that as in the new county of Union all men likely to become candidates are sufficiently well known, no convention is necessary, and candidates can each run upon their own strength. Others propose to carry out the will of the people for Division as expressed last Spring, and elect to office men in favor of the decision then made, that it may not be thwarted by designing men inimical to the project of Division. This, it is nrged, is only the right of thoso who accomplished that result. Others again are in favor of having each or every party bring out their best men, and let the people choose. They wish to take the advice of Hon. Joseph Casey, and let the unpleasant controversy about Division be buried with all its faults and all its errors maintaining, however, that none should be elected who would not honestly and manfully acquiesce in the decision of the people last Spring,and carry out their will in all good faith. They believe that an honest opponent of Divis ion, who took no undue means to oppose that measure, is not to be therefore for ever shut out from all offices of trust or profit ; and that the keeping up of a con-1 trovensy now decided, would not be pro ductive of good to the county interests or promote the friendly feeling which should prevail among us as fellow citizens. How ever we may disagree on National or State politics, local controversy it is desir able should be closed as soon as possible. ' These are the different views we have heard expressed. We give them for public consideration, without any indication of our own preferences. A friend has kindly proposed one of the conductors of this paper for a county office, but he docs not wish to be considered as a candidate by any act of his own. We desire the peo ple to take the whole matter fairly into consideration. The choice of nearly all the County Officers next fall, is a matter of creat importance to everv tax-paver. A Sueiitt, Judge, three Commissioners, TrAJMlirer Silrvuv.ip Anitivora atA r.M ncr are to be elected. Competent and worthy men should be chosen, whether with or without party nominations. In less than three months, the work is to be accomplished, and it is therefore ex pedient that the voters in the several townships and boroughs begin to confer with oue another on the subject. Those who preft-r the Volunteer System, should announce their candidates. Those who advise a continuation of the Division controversy, will remember that while they had COO majority in Union.aod might therefore elect every officer to be cUosoo, yet in Snyder county there was m majority against Division, and the name question raised there would defeat a.l the friends who aided us in the Bene- rl tdltmevl. c ... ....UF Ana those who are for nx.;;.,.. i. 1 1 i - ' " ' " 6 " c w u vMiig parties and their Chairmen Messrs. f ? the ,wo nen - rratic parties , and. their Chairmen Measrs. t;ro,. r. .

As was to be expected from the intole ratrt nature of Slavery, the new Know Nothing or American party were required to incorporate Slaveism in their creed, at the National Council held in Philadelphia. That Council was composed of seven dele gates each from all the States and the District of Colombia. The New York Council at its organization fell into the hands of the Slaveocrats, who still keep it. New York and the District of Colom bia gave the power to the South. New York and the Southern States have never carried the American ticket, while all the other Free States have. Yet those States where the party has been always defeated, created the platform, against the protests of the States where all the votes are to come from to elect au American President! The platform thus fraudulently forced upon the party is briefly this : Slavery shall hate all it has, may get all it can, and must not le hindered. All the Northern States except New York States giving a majority of tho Electoral Votes protested against that plank, and declared that Slavery was a sectional interest, not to bo interfered with by any outside the States rcspcctivcly,but that Liberty should be restored in Kansas and Nebraska, and that the National Government where it has the power should use it against and not in favor of Slavery extension. The State Council of Pennsylvania met at Reading last week, about 200 members in attendance, and ratified all except the Slavery plank in the platform. They put in an Anti-Slavery instead of Pro-Slavery plank, and called a National Council to meet in Cincinnati on the 8th January next, to devise means to elect, at the National Council on the 22d Feb., candi dates for President and Vice President opposed to Slavery extension. Ten delegates seceded from the Penn sylvania Couocil (all from Philadelphia and Montgomery,) and endorsed the Sla very platform, but the remainder of the 200 were enthusiastically united against the aggressive Slave power. Throughout the country in tho Free States, there is almost a unanimous oppo sition to the Pro-Slavery platforro,althongh in some of the larger cities are to be found adherents of Arnold Douglas, who still bow to the South, in hope of promotion by that hitherto almost omnipotent oli garchy. These openly assert that they will not and dare not have an opinion of their own contrary to the decision of the unfairly-constituted body, which had an unjust majority of delegates who did not represent one Electoral Vote ! Thoso who protested against the Platform, must give the Votes, or the party can not have one ! ! Democratic Stats Convention. The Democratic State Convention of Pennsylvania was held in liarrisburg, 4th inst., 128 delegates being present. Hon. J. Glasct Jones, of Berks county, was chosen President. Proceeded to nominate and vote for a candidate for Canal Commissioner, and on the nominations three votes were taken : I;t 2d 3d Arnold Plumer, of Venango Co. SO 60 77 Wm. S. Campbell, of Allegany 37 43 46 George coti. of Columbia 7 6 0 John 1. Hoover, of Center 4 0 0 Scattering 26 It 1 Arnold Plumer of Venango was then unanimously declared the nominee. It was resolved that the nominee should give such pledge against Know Nothings as the State Committee may prescribe. Mr. Black from the Committee on Res olutions, submitted the following, which were read amid loud applause : Resolved, That the Democratic party need not, on old and settled issues, to de clare its principles in detail. It is suffi cient for us to say that we belong to the Democracy of the Union, and recognize no geographical lines between the North and South. The interests of all parts of the country are the same to us, and so far as in our power we will maintain the Con stitutional rights of every State, with uniform fidelity, and recognize in its wid est extent the principle of popular sove reignty in the territories. Resolved. That every one who makes our country his home, and loves the Con stitution, the laws and the liberty of the Union, is in its largest sense, a True American. His birth place was not of his own selection, and should do him nei ther good nor harm, his religion is between himself and his God, and should be left to his own judgment, conscience and respon sibility. Resolved, That we regard the secret order,commonly called "Know Nothiags," as an organization dangerous to the pros perity and peace of the country. We con sider its designs as unconstitutional and void of patriotism ; being at once opposed ' to the spirit of true Christianity, and a i just ana mamy American senumcui. 1 Ifnonlr That the Democratic Resolved. That the Democratic party reiterate and reassert their confidence in, and adherence to the political creed pro mulgated by Thomas Jefferson in his first inaugural address, and practiced by Madi son, Monroe, Jackson, Van Burcn, Polk, and Pierce, in their administrations that these principles require no concealment, and that experience has fully determined their applicability to all the interests of the American people. v Resolved, That we Lave undiminished confidence in the ability and integrity of Franklin Pierce, and his administration of the government of our country.

Com missioner, whom we have this day nomi nated without a dissenting voice Mr. Wright offered the following : Resolved, That every new State ought to be admitted into the Union with such a Constitution as a majority of the citizens thereof shall adopt, provided there is noth ing therein conflicting with the Constitu tion of the United States ; and whether such State shall have adopted or rejected slavery is not a matter of inquiry by the general Governmant. The adoption of any measure which would defeat this, is direct encroachment upon the popular sovereign ty of such a State. That under these views which we believe to bo correct, the bill enacting Kansas and Nebraska Territories, leaving the question of slavery with the people, was not only constitutional, but expedi ent and proper ; and that we do here by endorse and approve the same. On this amcndlne nt tho yeas and nays were called for, and resulted as fallows : Vnl-Xwri. A1ra, An4ernn. Butler, Bowen. MP. Hover, R. Borer, Uiair, M. Crawford, A. Craoford.for frdth.

So the amerjdmerjt was not agreed to. Mr. Chase offered the following resolu tion : Resolved, Tli3t the taking possession of the polls at the election for the organiza tion of the Territory of Kansas by large bodies of men from Missouri, for the pur nnsn nf nverawin? the bona fide residents of the Territory, was a gross infraction of the laws, and an outrage tnat cans lor me severest reprobation of the American people, and wc therefore most heartily en dorse the course pursued by the Hon. A. II. Recder, in his patriotic efforts to en force the laws and protect the rights of the peoplo of Kansas from violence and usurpation. A motion was made to lay the resolu tion on the table,and being put, was agreed to. Mr. McKinncy I have tho following resolution to offer : Resolved, That the temperance question is one of morality solely, and morality must bo educated not legislated into the mind. That the last Know Nothing Le gislature in passing what is properly deno minated tho "jug law" did legislate upon a moral question, which deserves no pluce in our statute books and we therefore call for its unconditional repeal. Mr. Johnson moved to lay tho resolu tion on the table. Mr. Wright called for tho yeas and nays on the motion, and they were ordered, and being taken resulted yeas 59, nays 35. Mr. Blair offered the following resolu tion : Resolved, That in endorsing the Nebras ka Kansas bill, the Democracy of Pennsyl vania did not commit themselves to accept the lawless acts of armed and organized bands from adjoining States as an illustra tion of the doctrine of popular sovereignty, but intended only to affirm the great prin ciple of the right of the actual bona fide settlers of the territories to regulato their own domestic affairs in their own way without interference from any quarter. Before any action was taken on the re solution, tho Convention adjourned tine die, without electing a State Central Com mittee. The Outrage on Governor Reeder of Kansas. Correspondence of the X. T. Journal of Commerrft. Kansas Citt, Mo., June 28, 1855. The country is again thrown into a state of intense excitement, by the attempted perpetration of an outrage upon the per son of Gov. Recder, at bis quarters at Shawnee Mission, about nine miles from this place. The facts, at I am able to give them, are undoubtedly reliable. It appears that the Governor was sitting alone in his office,bis Secretary, Mr. Low rey, being sick and confined to Lis room at the time, when the well-known Gen. Striogfcllow entered. He was courteously received, and after a general preliminary conversation, in which be dilated upon the iufluence and control he would have over the present Legislature, and the great excitement existing in Missouri against Gov. Reeder, be made two propositions to the Governor one being that the Gover nor should sanction any bill that should be passed to punish the tampering with slaves in the Territory, or the uttering of abolition sentiments, and the other that he recommend in his message that the Legislature adjourn to Shawnee Mission, on the border of Missouri. The Governor replied, that, although in favor of a free State, he was willing and thought it quite proper that tempora ry protection be given to slave property in the Territory, until the question be properly decided ; but that he could not promise to sanction a bill he had never seen, and much less could he agree to a bill making the penalty for minor offences death, as be had heard proposed, and that he would not officially recommend the Legislature to adjourn to Shawnee Miss ion. At this the General became much excited, and endeavored to get up a quar rel upon the words " border ruffians," re ported to have been nsed by Gov. R. ne was told that the nse of such language had been disavowed, and tltat as early as possible. He then desired to know if Gov. R. had represented Kansas as being conquered and subjugated by the citizens of Missouri ; to which the Governor re plied that he had. Striogfcllow then in quired furtber,if the Governor had intended to charge him with any unlawful or dis honorable act, to which the Governor replied, that he believed and bad aaid.that Gen. S. was mainly instrumental in creat and West Branch Farmer July 13, ing the excitement in Missouri which bad produced the present state of things ; and in answer to another question by String fellow, said that he considered such a course of conduct as unlawful and dis honorable. By this time, the excitement of String fellow became very great, so much so as to attract several persons standing in front of the door ; and he on the spot gave the Governor a verbal challenge, which was immediately declined, the Governor say inz that be was no subscriber to the duel ling code. At this time the Governor was carelessly sitting with bis chair balanced upon tho two hind legs. Stringfcllow advanced, and by putting bis hand upon bis shoulder, pushed him over, at the same time falling npon him, and scratch ing him deeply in the cheek with his nails. The Governor kicked him off, and roso to his feet, both gentlemen drawing their pistols, when Stringfcllow wns seized by Attorney General Isaacks and Mr. Haider man, and tho Governor dropped the muz zle of his weapon, saying that he scorned to attack a man who was prevented from defending. By the interference of the two gentlemen, the matter was calmed down, and Stringfcllow left. To yourselves and your readers, I leave all comment on this most unparalleled outrage, merely stating further, that Stringfcllow, who thus begins by attempt ing to intimidate tho Governor of Kansas Territory, and failing in that personally assaults him, is a resident of Weston, Mo., and makes no pretence of living in the territory. It is generally believed that the Missourians have discovered that they will be unable to manage two-thirds of the Legislature, and thus avoid the Gov ernors veto ; and therefore, the conduct of the'r acknowledged leader. During the late affair the Governor had twice a good opportunity to shoot Stringfcllow, and the frionds of order and bis friends are very thankful that ho refrained ; for had any injury, even the slightest, occur red to Stringfcllow, in two hours a crowd would have been raised on tho border against which resistance would have been useless, and no one can imagine what would have been the ultimate consequence. Respectfully yours, Traveler. I. We give in another column the proceedings of the recent Democratic State Convention. The nominee, Mr. Plumer, is of tho Buchanan wing of tho party an inveter ate old hunker and office-seeker aod not supposed, from his location, to have any practical knowledge of the publio works. The platform presented, is very similar to that of last year. On the prominent national question of Ncbraskaism, and on the local issue of the Liquor law of last ses sion, it refused to adopt any plain and de cided resolutions, pro or con, but chose to present resolutions which like thoso with hich Gov. Bigler fell may be interpret ed to suit public opinion in various quar ters. They even refused to denounce the infamous outrages by gangs of secret, oath bound ruffians, npon the people of Kansas and a Pennsylvania Governor acts of Na tional and of State concern ; but very courageously adopted one against allowing colored men to vote in Pennsylvania 1 Cautions to Postmasters. The Washington Union publishes the following gentle bints to Postmasters :) Delivery of Letters, dV. Wo under stand frequent complaints against the de partment grow out of the fact that post masters too often, trusting only to their memories, tell persons there is no mail matter for them when a subsequent exa mination proves that there was. If post' masters would adhere strictly to tbo rule of making a personal search every time letters and papers are inquired for, there would be more despatch in their delivery. Postmasters' Assistants to be Stcorn. Postmasters at small offices, we learn, are too much in the habit of permitting in competent members of their families, and other persons in their employ, (nono of them being sworn, as required by law,) to change the mails, and to perform all the other duties pertaining to their offices. None but sworn assistants should bo al lowed access to tho mails. Loaning Neietpapsrs. Subscribers to newspapers make complaint of the nonar rival of their papers, and in some instances intimate that the loss is coccasioncd by the fact of the postmaster loaning to Lis neigh bor the papers of others for perusal . The papers fail to be returned to their proper place, and hence tho dissatisfaction. Post masters are strictly forbidden to loan news papers that are in their office for delivery. Tho recent evidences that valuable let ters sometimes aro acsidently thrown among tho waste paper of the post offices, have induced Postmaster General Cam fell to issue an order directing a careful examination of all rubbish before the offices are swept out. He charges Post masters also to use all the w-apping paper a second time, if possible, for economy sake. New York, July 10. Captain Smith, late of the brig Julia Moulton, who plead ed guilty on tho last indictment, on a charge of serving on board a vessel engag ed in transporting slaves from one foreign port to another, was sentenced this fore noon,to two years imprisonment from April last, (the time he pleaded guilty,) and to pay a fine of 11000. President Pierce, Ex-President Tyler, and Secretary Marcy, have all received Land Warrants for military services. The first was in the Mexican war, and the others io the war of 18 12. 1855.

By order of the Directors t DAVID REBER, Treasurer. Lewisburg, Pa., June 8, 1855. The October Election. OT Please bring out the name of ocr old friend Maj. Ancniaain Tnajsas, of Wmfield, for the consideration of our good people of Union county, fur County Commissioner. We have to elect an entire Board, and as Maj. T. has had ample experience in the office his knowledge Would be esseniial (with a new Clerk) in getting matters wen untier weign. We do not know as he wants any office, but consider it to be to our interest 10 elect him. 2a-pj FRIENDS. Messrs. Editors I have seen as yet bnt a few names suggested for the Important office of County Commissioner. For two of those Commissioners, I would propose JAf'OB f:irnv and MARK HALFPENNY. Both are very competent and very worthy men, ana both stood up for the people'j rights at their own loss in the day of trial. The right has triumphed, and I know of no one I would sooner see elevaiea 10 an nonorau'r use ful position. JUSTICE. T ATESSKS. EDITORS : Permit me, through JVL ,ne columns of vour paper, to recom mend Mr. Hugh Wilsons of Mifflinburg, as a suitable candidate at our next election for the office of Asoeiute Juige. As Mr. ilson is generally known throughout the county, it is unnecessary for me to press his claims, or dilate upon his fitness, but merely mention his name, and leave the issue with the freemen or the county. June 39) BUFFALOE. TO the Voters of Union County : As a can didate for County Commissioner at the election in October next, we take pleasure in recommending Capl. George Schorl,, of Milflinburg, as a man qua'.iSjd and worthy for that office. June 18.) AST BUFFALO. County Treasurer. IT ij to be presumed, that after Division, the ancient Metropolis will no longer be able, by balancing Middlecreek against Biiujlne, 10 get for her a monopoly of the County Offices. Especially, it is thought, yome Offices may be enjoyed hereafter by oiher Towns) and even Lewisburg which, with 4-0 to 500 voters, gets one Office when New Berlin with 115 to 150 voters gets ten may be entitled lo an equal share in those luxuries. It is also most prob able that Lewisburg, as the residence of the Treasurer, would be mot convenient to the Tai-Payersi and I would therefore recom mend Mr. O. N. WORDEN for the office of County Treasurer. He has "suffered" in his long and arduous combatting of Metropolitan insolence.and is entitled 10 some remuneration. June 20, '55 lwp.1 DIVISION. MESSRS.
