Of entire drstituUou of Brussels point lace.

One rase of a bride was brought to my view,

Jnatlce to Northern Pennsylvania I
The tier of counties in our State run
ning from the Delaware river to Lake
Erie,con tains 45,000 or 50,000 voters, who
havo acceded to them a candidate for Got
ernor. Those counties have decided tbe
elections of the State in many prior con
tests, and will probably give in October
over two to one for their own Wilmot.
There is some sectional pride, aud a patri
otic sense of right, in this prospect. Tbey
claim that tbey have never had a Govern
or, while all other portions of the Com
monwealth have furnished several incum
bents of the chair Gubernatorial, and tbey
now Halt the same honor and favor for
their own more secluded aud rapidly ex
panding region.
Sam'l M'Kcan was U.S. Senator from
ltradford, Judge Laporte was Surveyor
General, and Messrs. Read of Sueq. and
Ball of Erie were State Treasurers ; but
this is believed to be the full list of tbe
higher offices accorded to the North I
Their request is manly and just Be

from Northumberland (both of the West
Branch). ..ccrtaiuly, Eastern, Southern,
Western, aud Central Pennsylvania have
been well provided for. Snyder, Bigler,
and Pollock were from the central part'of
the State, which can not now claim the
honor again, (for three West liranchcrs
in succession would look decidedly loo
"sectional.") Northern Pennsylvania
the North Branch is entitled to re
spectful recognition. The "favorite son"
she presents, was born in Wayne, mar
ried in Lebigb, studied law in Luzerne,
and has represented in Congress, presided
over as Judge, or practiced m k W 4
Wyoming, Susquehanna, Bradford, Sulli
van, and Tioga counties. He would em
phatically represent Northern Pennsylva
nia, while his opponent would represent
tbe West Branch region in general and
tne ",veriasuug o-" r i
We say in all candor and earnestness,
tbe laboring masses of the North nearly
all farmers are entitled to at least one
Governor by the year 1858 ! Tbey are
not rich, it is true ; they cultivate the soil
where the blackened stumps of the prim
itive forest still obstruct the plow ; and
thousands of the real pioneers yet inhabit
tbeir log cabins and humble dwellings.
Tbey have toiled bard and long to con
quer homes from the wilderness, and are
beginning to realize the fruit of their la
bors. They desire, before they go hence
to be bere no more, to see tbe doctrines of
the Declaration of Independence more fully
established, and one of their own sons at
the fouutain bead of power in the State.
JuMice to Northern Pennsylvania would
also be a matter of poftcy. Mostly of New
England origin, tbeir business and social
relations have hitherto been chiefly with
New York State and city. Linking them
more and more closely by official, favors
and interests, would add to tbe strength
of acquaintanceship and friendship, and
altogether prove beneficial to Pennsylva
nia generally aod especially to Philadel
phia. Let as, then, be liberal as well as
just, and yield to tbe citizens of the north
ern counties their candidate for Governor.
Ilia ability is undoubted, and bis fame b
world-wide.
Packer and Douglas.
In bis speech at York, Gen. Packer is
reported by bis friends to have taken the
trouble to go out of the way far enough to
have "paid a yhwiny tribute to tluit ditiitt
guiihtd itatttman, Judye Dvvgltu." As
Douglas is one prominent candidate for
President, this may be considered com
mittal of Packer in his favor.
How about Utah. Since Mr. Dou
glas made bis Springfield speech, be bas
positively and precisely defined himself in
bis own Chicago Tima of June 26tb,lS57.
He says :
"The inhabitants of Utah are Mormons.
Polygamy or concubinage it a part of their
Tttigiout faith. We do not believe that Con
grea hat any more right to dictate to the
people of Utah vpon the number cfwivet
each man muyponett, than it hat todutttle
to them the particular female each man
shall marry. Congress has no right to say
to the men of Utah tbat tbey shall bave
but one wife, nor that tbey shall marry at
all. Congress has no more power to dic
tate bow often they aball wed, than it bas
the power to dictate to the men of Illinois
that tbey shall marry negroes."
Be-In 1860,Dcmocrsey will be shield
for Polygamy as it now is for Slavery.
Mark the prediction! And Gen. Packer
most then practically defend Polygamy as
he oow does Slavery ! Mark that, too !
Polygamy and a Free Slavs Trade are
to be tbe nt "p rogreaive" p!anka."J
CO., PA., FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 11, 1857.
Flgtatliis; Preacher.
"Churches or the Valley" is the
title of a history of tbe Presbyterian chur
ches in Cumberland Valley, (principally
j in Cumberland and Fraukliu counties,
I Pennsylvania,) by Rev. Dr. Alfred Ne
j VIN, of Lancaster. Presbyterian congre-
gatioos began to bo organized through the
Valley from 1730 to 1740, but too little
! reliable information of tbeir first proceed-
ings bas been obtained. We glean from
it a few proofs of the manner in which
I Presbyterian clergymen of that day as
' puie aud as earnest men as their successors
"preached polities."
Ilea. John King, D. D., of Merccrsburg,
was second to none of bis Presbyterian ;
brethren in arousing the spirit of liberty :
among his countrymen, aud iu fostering j
opposition to tbe tyrannical proceedings of .
the Government. He not ouly volunteer- j
' ed his services, but went as chaplain to :
tbe battalion which mached from tbat sec- j
tion. Extracts are given, in the volume. I
1 before us, of patriotic addresses to bis '
neighbors a sermon on tbe death of Gen. j
Montgomery a speech to Capt. llustou's !
j company as they were about to leave their ,
i homes for the battle-field, tie. j
j llto. Ma CraiglscaJ, of Rocky Spring ,
I church, after preaching in glowing terms
1 Jesus Christ the only hope of salvation,
exhorted the youth of the congregation, in
' eloquent and patriotio strains, to rise up
: and join the noble band of settlers strug
! gliog against tbe regular army and the :
border savages of Britain. Ou one occa-
sioo, be declaimed in such burning terms
' upon the wrongs the people were enduring
that after one earnest declaration of '.heir .
' duty the men of the congregation all arose
' from, tbeir scats and declared their willing-,
: ncss to take up tbeir arms. Oue old lady,
however, whose heart bled with a reccut
wound, called out,
: "Stop. Mr. Craighead I jist want to
' tell yer agin you loss such a purty boy as ;
I have, in the war, ye will na be so keen j
I for fighting : quit talking, and gang your- i
self to tbe war. Yer always preaching to
tbe boys about it, bat I dinna think ye'd
be very likely to gang yersel. Jist go and j
try it."
He did go. Stauding before his meet-:
ing bouse be calls on tbe able-bodied men
of his flock to go with him to the field of
battle, to save his country's libertv or ner-:
isb in the cause. One by one they fall io, j
until the line reaches across the green to ;
the neighboring wood. Their wives.daugh-,
ters, snd sisters urge them to trust in the (
arm of God. The line is completed, and j
the r Juuiisses tocm to meet the fol-1
lowing Monday. They meet one fervent j
appeal to the Almighty, and their Pastor
becomes their Captain, and tbey march to
join tbe army of Washington. He fougbt
and preached alternately, and was as good .
a soldier as a preacher. J
Among Craighead's companions in war ;
was Rev. Dr. Hubert Cooper, many years
pastor of Middle Spring church. Both of 1
these men escaped many dangers, and
"died in tbeir nests" at a good old age. j
Jiev. John Elder, of Paztoo, was a Col- j
onel io the army, and with tbe other Pres-:
byterian ministers of that day preached up j
opposition to Government, when Govern- j
ment did wrong, and plead and fought for .
Liberty, against Slavery. A Presbyterian j
Tory clergymen was as rare as white black
birds. "The General."
Inquiries bave been made, "On tchat
tamminaru field did Wm. F. Packer trin
hit title f tchetlter in Revolutionary, British,
Indian, M'jcican, Cuban or Kansai trart t
or whether he it only a Militia hero f" From
all tbe histories,both "national" and Statef I
we can obtain, we can say tbat the General j
never mounted his steed upon the "tented
plain" where red Mars was in earnest j
nor has be commanded even a brigade of j
cornstalks and umbrellas amid tbe cheers
of pea-nut, gingerbread, and smill-becr
venders. His sword is a goose quill, and
tbe stains upon it are ink instead of blood.
Steuben and Ssott are not bis text-books
wire-pulling being more congenial to his
mode of warfare. His most gallant
"charget" were as mudboss, supervisor,
collector, Canal Commissioner, or Auditor
General upon tbe State Treasury, from
which, during a series of campaigns cover
ing twenty years, he emerged victorious
after many a closely contested and doubt
ful fight. In desperate contests lor tbe

bis masterly retreat through the mountain

Mingling OU wilh Water.
Those Pro-Slavery New School Presby
tciians who want a General Assembly in
which "itulht'n'i tdtall be laid concerning"
concubinage, separation of families, fl"g i
ging of women, bounding of men, aud
buying and gelling the flesh and bbod of
their brothers by Adam and brethren in
church fellowship, have held their scisma
tic assemblage, at Richmond in Virginia.
Their number was small, comprisirg dele

principal conclusion arrived at was to form

This is a doubtful compliment to the i
O'.d School church, and the world will
lock with interest to its action respecting !
this overture, at their session in New Or-1
leans, next year. It will be curious also !
j to sec how these New Schoolmen will lower I
their distinctive standard, forget their past j
grievance aud "excision," to ubtain,under j
the Old School roof, a shelter from the :
conscience-probing arrows of anti-slavery ;
declarations. We see some indications of ;
demurring to such questionable approaches
of Dr. Ross, Col. Nethcrland, and tbeir j
faction. On the other hand, tome will j
esteem it a handsome swelling of their j
ranks. Of this number doubtless will be i

his "Committee," declined, the name of
bis opponent should no more escape his

avoided on his part. This would seem to
be good taste, justice, and ordinary decen

Others will, this year, use the common

to crush the joints first by heavy blows
