The Whig! tod ether opponents of the
National Administration meet to select
Delegates to form a County Ticket All
the opponents of the Pierce-Douglas auJ
Tiuchaaan party are invited to participate.
All such honorable mes, who will promise
to vote against the candidates sustained by
that party, should bo freely and cordially
admitted to an equal voice in the primary
aneetiogs, without reference to prior party
Barnes or differences of opinious.
As to the Planner of voting, the Call
makes no provision ; but as the polls arc
"to be kept open three hours iu the Town
ships and two in the Boroughs, it seem?
evident that by ''ballot," or by "strokes,"
is the only proper manner of electing the
Itelegates, and that the polls should be
kept open the full time required in order
to prevent any complaint of unfairness.
'Suffer the word of exhortation' relative
to the choice of Delegates. The October
contest will have an important beating on
the momentous issue between Freedom and
Despotiiin, in November. Our late local
dilT.Tcaceg require firm and fair and skill
ful treatment effectually to heal. Our bast
and most patriotic men should be sent as
Delegates, who, however much they prefer
this man or that, wiil not by a " rule or
ruin" course hazard the cans for the sake
of the man. Liberality and fair dealing
will strengthen, and a ticket formed with !
such a spirit actuating tbe .uelegatrs win
sccuro a cerUiu, pleasant, and d;ciJJ
victory.
t6fVe were ioquirod of if our neigh
bors of the Aryus still retain their warm
a&ction for the " old line Whigs," and
what course the Kansas-liuchanan party
intend to pursue next fall ? We would
say in reply that the "Argus" coatinues
to love the patronage of the old iincWhigs
as much as ever, but that we think it has
not yet informed its Whig patrons of the
it - o . n ,,.,
Unii'0 Whig Couuty Convention that was
called two weeks ago! We are therefore
inclined to think that tbe sincerity of its
attachment to tbe "old line Whigs" ter
minates in their pockets, and does not
include their principles or their interests.
As !o the course of that party next
fall, they first ridiculed and discouraged
tbe tfi'orts f ir unity of action have siuce
endeavored to multiply candidates, and t)
embitter them and their friends against
each other and when the nominations
are 11 aJe it ia suppled will try their luck
iu "volunteering" defeated Whig candid
ates and in iirltatiug old ''local" sores !
BpCv.Xot only is Mr. Buchauau the first

Bachelor ever urged for the office. He talk
about loving the Union, when he 't never
formed the most natural, proper, and im
portant of all cartLly unions ! Jit prate
about saving the Union of twenty five
millions of people, when be has never made

Gmtlcmen : I hare to thank you for the hon
or of an invitation to a meeting, this evening
at the Broadway Tabernacle, and regret that
other engagements have interfered to prevent
my being present. I heartily concur in all
i movements which have for their object " to
rep?ir the miehiefs arising from the viola-
tion of good faith in the repeal of Missouri

Manly straight-forward sensible, and

we kuow with all of Col. Fremont's life.
BPSonie chicken-hearted old ladies of
the male sex really feared that the election
of the 'Black Republican,' Mr.Banks, for
the third, if not the second, Office in the
Nation, would "convulse the Union." He
has been tried, however, and it is now on
all hands admitted that the House has bad
no such popular, order-keeping Speaker,
since Henry Clay filled its chair Now
let us try a Republican President: nothing
will be "dissolved" by him that benefits
mankind, lut be would sunder all 'anions'
by which the Government is made to aid
in extending the evil of human bondage.

the policy tbe South pursues, when they
have a good man. We hope tbe North
will adopt the same plan. It is the height
of folly to elect a new man every few years.
Let the North elect her best men, and keep
them therit. and by doing se they will be
able to cope with the Southern Members.

We hear but one voice expressed in Un

of Mr. Kunkel. Undoubtedly, Northern

"Union-saving" politicians must raise
a large crop of onions this year, to help
them speechify, for it is evident there is
to be a crying-match between the Bucha-
naritcs and Fillmoreites, and a big onion
in pocket, or the ettraet scenting their
handkerchiefs, would excite the lachrymal
fount when dormant, and help tbe orators
to snivel. So, set out Onions don't let
the blessed Union be lost for the lack of a
few of those odoriferous, national, Union
cementing wegetables !
Iffi-Mr. Fillmore was to take ship for
homo on the 11th inst. His answer wits
received a week ago, wherein he eagerly
accepts his nomination. Whether he has
'-converted the Pope" in his long visit in
Rome, he does not say, but thinks himself
better qualified than ever for the White
House, for which he betrays as amiable a
weakness as ever did his prototype aud
predecessor, John Tyler. Whether, like
him, on learniug the true state of affairs,
he will decline and whether in that case
be will throw his influence for tbe Right
or the Wrong the future must reveal.

i and determination in heart, I embarked npon
the excursion. By railroad I set out for Ty
rone City, in Blair county, at which place I
found an excellent team belonging to the Com
pany in waiting, and ready for a start to St.
Mary. Yonn; Mr. Schullz, uuder whose su
pervision and Jebuship this department seem
ed to be, I discovered was an excellent com
panion, bat off we roust go, so hurrah! boys
"get away dobbins from before us !" And
away we went, for the land of big trees and
maple sugar.
During the whole of this trip I observed no
roughness in the roads.nor had I any occasion
to regret my hurried exodus to. the settlement
now for the first time looming upon our sight.
This must be attributable to the entertaining
conversation of our whip, who every now and
then would cheer us wiih a lively joke or sto
ry, for in troth let me say it the roads mere
of tbe roughest kind, jolting one's poor bones
most terrifically. Christopher Columbus and
Andrew Jackson! what was my amazement
when I began to behold more clearly the tidy
and thrifty habitants of St. Marys, in all iis
virgin purity of whitewash and humility.
What, daring the whole ride from Clearfield
had I seen to compare with this! Around
and about everything gave indications of neat
ness and hospitality and, as the Queen of
Sbeba once said to Mr. Solomon several years
ago that even the half had not been told of
his kingdom, so the moiety had not been writ
ten, of the glory of this place. Although now
only, as it were, on the threshold of the pro
and West Branch Farmer June 20, 185(n
perty owned b the Ridgway Company, my
expectations seemed to be fully realized.
Many of my friends endeavored to dissuade
me from going npon ihe trip, and condemned
the whole thing as a humbug; but la spite of
all opposition or obstacle I went, and now I
can snap my fingers and whistle at them, or
their want of faith, and the old fogies to take
eaTe of themselves as best they a. - "My
heart is in rhe Highlands." Here will I pilch

which belongs so exclusively to the American
character, "Go ahead."

But enough of these false measures. Let
me say that we have dined. And such a re
past as rarely falls to my lot to partake of.
At the thought of such an entertainment, your
citv gourmand would dance in a paroxyismof
delight Such excellent fare and belongings
are rarely dished except in these regions.
What Snubbins or unnotns may say 10 iue
contrary notwithstanding.
Bless me, what a healthy look every man
seems to have that you meet here. They are
so robustuons, that dang me if I don't believe
they have got the constitution of Ihe United
States, and, the women, too, bless them. I never
believed that diseases were eontarftous, until
I sat alongside one of these Elk county blue-
eyed damsels, and caught the palpitation of
the heart. This trouble, I believe, belongs to
every clime, common in all regions, highland
or lowland, and I yielded to its soft influences
with a becomingness quite praiseworthy. .
The Elk girls mav not, perhaps, be as rich
in those sAi'ni'ng qualities which, grace your
city belles. They may never have heard of
Phidias, orhis stame of Jupiter ; the beautiful
Helen and the Trojan war, or Cape May. but
they do know all about the use'ul, such as
knitting, churning, mending, brewing and ba
kinv. and all other necessary accompaniments
to comfort and eniovment, and even in that
accomplishment of music which is so much j
the pride and boast of interested mammas.put
mnnv of the ei y girls to blush.
Let me say to mv friends, that in addition
to a glorious rich soil, with its wealth uf lim-1
her and minerals , and a home, there is also I
to he fonnd a wife to grace that home, and !
make its fireside happy. Seek not in vain
as you surely will, if you seek elsewhere
but vour city girls. I cannot, away wiih, with
pinch ed shoes and mincing steps. Give me
none of your hour-glasses and moulds of form

foot like a flounder. 8ncl illo dicof ihin

are the true help-meets, who will rough it and

and unmurmuring lips.
I have hardly begun to say all I want, but
I must not forget to allude to Mr. 8chnliz,who
kindly piloted me over the Ridgway Company
lands. The scenery .of gentle sloping hill and
dale, with its majestic timber, formed a grand
pirtur. for the sight. I observed here and
there the trees were ilhutrattd with ru.made
by the sturdy early pioneer, or recent survey
or. Mr. S. also exhibited to me some fifteen
coal npenings.all of which are buds of promise
for future traffic and prosperity.

Twelve dollars an acre is a small price for
this land. From my inqutries, I find out the
lands in the vicinity are much higher I in
tend to give another letter shortly. Being an
old Lancaster county farmer,! pretend to
know something about land, and in my next
I will walk into the merits of the question
about a feet. Thus far I find everything of
the most promising character fine crops,
limestone soil, and good arable land, neither
hilly nor stony enough already to satisfy any
one who is not too lazy to work for a living.

The October Election
Messrs. Euitois I have seen in your val
uable paper a call published by the Standing
Committees of Union county for a County
Convention to be held on the 21st inst., for the
purpose of nominating a ticket to be voted for
at the next General Election, which induced
me to offer myself as a candidate for the office
of Prothonaiary, for the following rea
sons. First. I flatter myself to say that I am
quallified to discharge the duties of said office
lo ihe full satisfaction of all those that have
business in said ofhee. To this I presume
some objections will be made by some of the
candidates, and will put in the plea of -Rotation
in office." To this t will answer, that
this plea will not bold good as a general thing
it will only hold good as far as the different
candidates and their intimate friends are con
cerned ; for instance if any person has a par
ticular job to be made, he will go to an expe
rienced machanic, and not to one who never
has made soch a job. This same rule holds
good to this important office, and for this very
reason Mr. Ronsb waa elected three years ago.
The people said be most be there, anyhow;
so let as elect him at oner. Further, it is
lifiely that after the Court House is finished
the county will have to pay a large snm of
monev to ret some evnerienced man to file the
papers in said offree to their regular places, j
which I flatter uiy&elf to say thai I understand
to do, and will obligate myself to do it without
one cent charge to the county. Also in the
same paper I have seen an editorial which ur
ged this convention very strong for the pur.
of uniting the parly and burying the hatchet.
This I presnme depends in a great measure
how the Conven'ion will be conducted. If the
Division men will exercise their power, it is
likely that they can controil the Convention
if they wish it. The Division question was
