The last Gazetr,in allit.linP to tht; address.of the Crawford. County Cpnferees, which has been 'Widely distributed by Mr. Lowry and his frientl4, aenuaintr; the public with. the following startling items of information " Pa.sing over until 'next week the tlint4i. nes, and arrogance of this attempt to dictate to Erie county Republican., ove 'come to the singular FACT that the said eirtailar was originated in this city, and xeerefly printed ,1? the Erie o"Avri4 e Ojfiee, Wt. , have the proof, and :enwe the, public that our statement i , entireiy correct. Probably the Crawford Conferees never saw the circular Until it wa, in print, although they will father it now' We are not in the habit of tioinr: anything that we are -unwilling our friends should know, and therefore give the above pre eisel.V as it appears in the Gazette.. It only needs that we should state - the facts to !,how that the wonderful discover; which our eotempo: rary imag,inesitself jo have made NV:I.4 really one of the most simple printing Office ocenr- ' relict's. On Monday morning, Mr. Lowry came to us with a peinted Vail of the circular in question, saving that he tbund Ile•would not have sudielent, and Wanted additional copies. Ile remarked that he did not wish to give it to the Dispatch or Gakttc; and ie whetlikr we were willing to do 4he i job. We told him nail we had fitted our office for the public accounnodn'tffin, that it was mit business to do every kind of work offered, and that we neither asked nor cared what politic. our VUsitlkoukra prnli, rod WI tit tins brief conversation, the interview closed, and the job was entrusted to the hands if . f our !ibr e m a n ns customary. The eliargelhat it was "secretly printed" is a lld.seitood'emanat iiig.in the fertile imagination of the Gazette man. The circular was put into type in as public a manner as any ordinary job, 'was read by all our workmen. was Printed in broad day-light, while the daily business of the office was being trans:tett:4l, and exam ined and criticised by at least .twenty-tire persons while the editi o n wa's being run through the pros , . It is an odd idea that a locunwnt intendod for general distribution should need "secresy" in its publication, and one that_ no person exFept the astute hid'. vidual who manmies thi!. Oazetre would ever have thought of. We suggest to him that lit will find plenty of employment in carrying out the programpie be has garted to per without intorferia4;" in the legitimate business operations of hislieighbors.' The Gazette adds " The theta regiirdiMr this circular go no tit strengthen the feeling which has for come time pervaded the Republicans ill this city, that the evident fraternization between a number of leading Democrats and 24 r.Lowry ; bode: no good to the Republican party. Ite says that he will run tbr Senator whether or not he be nominated by the Erie County Re publican ConVention. Dues he propo.4 , to succeed by the aid of the Erie Observer and Democratic votes •e" We have simply to say that if the "Repub licans in this city" are really "pervaded" with the notion that there is the slightest de tree Uf "fraternizatori bet\\ real a mmther of leading Democrats an&Mr, LoWm," they, are the moil completely befuddled set. of men in existence.

HEED HorsE OPENING.—The day is Tate 10 give an extended report of the pro ceedings at the formal opening of the Reed House, on Thursday of lava week. and we will content ourself with a mere outline of them, for the benefit of those of our readers who were unfortunate enough not to be pres ent. A large number of strangers participa ted;-including members of the press, public officers. and leading persons from the neigh boring cities and towns, all of whom ex pressed-themselves delighted with the ele- C.aliCt of the hotel and the - hospitality ex tended to them. In the al ternoon an excar-' :don was taken upon the bay-and lake, whieh atiOrded'our visitor.: tint opportunityto exum ine the adVaalageoll,, character or our harl ot. a impromptu meeting was held on board the schooner, and speeches made by a tuuu her of prominent gentlemen of this city and Philadelphift. The tone of the speeches was strongly in favor of a more thOrouglfacquaint ance between the people of the two cities, :nub the u.ssurance Was ;%iven us by the Phil adelphians that it' we only displayed a vigor ous disposition to help ourselves- we might rely upon an encourving ca-operation- from th:e Eastern pail of the State. The ball and reception in the evening, was admittedly the roost fashionable and brilliant affair ever wit nessed in Erie. Unusual pains had been taken by the ladies for the occasion, and in the choice, richness and costliness of their toilettes, we doubt if even the larger cities •could have made a more dazzling display. It is estimated that about a thousand persons took part in the opening, and the enjoyment was so general that we have not heard a Whisper of complaint from any quarter. OUR COUNTY TICKET.—We deSirt; to 111)0114140_414ml:a of our readers that tip ticket nominated on - the IGth of September should be made up of our strongest and most available men. As the candidates, for the time being, at least, are representative men of the party, it is a matter of whitlow that they should be honest, capable, tit—should be gen tlemen acceptable to the community in gett er:lt—men of character and integrity. It is within the power pf tlfe - Democracy of Erie county, froth the Abundant material we posi . - sess• to present, a 4 ticket of v)hich" the party will be proud, Mutwith which even defeat would lose its. diretlit. Nothing will Con trilmte' so much , towards our success in the State as toput up holiest and deserving men for the local offices. . . OUR JOBBING OFFICE.—We desire to keep the fiet before the public that the Observer Job Printing Otlicc ha 4 been thoroughly fit ted up, and made one of the best in this sec tion of the Cnidn. Everything in it is new, and procured with particular regard to the tastes and reqtfirements of the community. Our Type embraces all the latest style, ; our 'Workmen are thebest that can be procured ; our assortment of Paper and Cards includes every color and variety; and with four rapid Power Presses of the most improved patterns we can safely guarantee as good work, in as - prompt a manner, and at ay reasonable prices as any alike in the country: We are ready to do every kind of Printing that islikely to be called for, whether The quantity be large or small. Business men will find it to their interest to give us a call. OCR " talented" - Congressman, Mr. &d -field, is set down as one of the Radical speak ers in Ohio during the present canvass, We congratulate the party in that State in huv lug secured the services of so efficient an or ator. The whole basis of Radicalism rests upon faLsehoOd, and Scofield has as complete an aptitude for talking around the truth as any man that we know id. 1. ThSittlipprint Fight. ... , . ',. The king perullnglijid,ll'i , elirtisghk strug- . gle between the friends and enemies of - Mr. Lowry in the - ranks-of ida itwn party has re ceived fresh impetus by the ammuncemeut of Mr. Colton as a-competitor for the tininina lion to the Senate. The rival partizans - are ,Ite t tively. engaged 'it - marshalling their forces for the fight, and from early anorning until late in the night the two leaders may be seen upon Our street cOrners, button-holing rota ers-in, appealing to old friendships, seeking to establish new ones, by turns arguing, teasing and threatening; indelivoring to ex cite prejudice :igainst one another and stake capital- for themselves. The public, who tir;:t lunged on with almost sullen intlitTer (awe, are. at is taking side., and before long, unle.tswn are vastlyinistakerf, the con test will heroine as eveiting as the ever mem twit& mu, A.it I.

It cannot lao.tleniefl that circumstances he gin to look move favorable Mr the anti-Low ryites than they did several week.: ago. 'The terror. With • most. (if :them seemed strif.keh has -given way, under the energetic labor: of their leaders, and confident boasts of victory are beginning to be freely made, It is claimed that they will carry the Nyliolt; city delegation without. doubt, and assuran ce's, they say,havelmen received to the smile effect from a majority of the townships.. The entire - Radical press of the 'citY is - arrayed against Lowry—the Dispatch and; German Speetator fuddle and vigorously, the I lazette in a timorous and , half-hearted way, tceiclt iodinates that it witabl like to c.tme out more openly were it not afraid of la-dug` - party prestige. In addition to this powerful lever, the Colton mein have succeeded in earnestly arraying upful their side nearly every promi nent city politician in the Itelieal ranks. These men feel that now 'is their last chance that Who carries this time, he will continue to e‘creise dominion over lite county for Ye-ars to como, pl a cing his friends in (dike and punishing his enemies. Every man who is an aspirant for piHition, and wlio has not hilt actively identified with the Lowry wing, is working tig,ninst hint, knowing, very well that unless his influence is broken down non-, their hopes must be deferred .to an in definite period. The- German portion of our population is bitterly opposed to him on acenunt of tin; part he has taken on. the liquor and Sunday questions. On the whole, the continuation which ha:: been tltrmed seetnidlte mist formidable with witielt Lowly has ever :had to contend, and if he succeed, tf,.rfingt. it, the triumph will be dine of -the most reinark•thle in our political tint!; • While the anti-Lowryites are thus striving for his defeat, it must not be supposed that he and his friends are any less vigilant. His long experience in politics gives him the advan tage of being able to pick the right man in every district tbr the duty he wishes per formed, and wherever an object is to he gained lie has supporters at work, quietly but effectively doing what has been asskned them.

From sunrise until midnight he is 'continually at work, elk ime directions to his allies; ailing visiting important sections, dodging in and out front one place to another with an energy' that, in a good cause, would entitle ,him to the admiration of everybody.

We have 'given the facts above exactly as they are, and it only remains to Consider what the ultimate effect of this fierce, inter eFting and important squabble may he. It should lie recollected that Lowry has filreads carried Crawford, anti that he has obtained the selection of threw conferees from that' county. These persons are all his intimate friends, pledged to stand by him under all ciretunstances, and willing to adopt any mean, to secure his notifinatidn. In case he is successful in Erie, the conferees of both eOunties will meet together and ratify the nomination, or he may be declared the can didate without the formality of' a nomination. tint should Colton carry Erie county, the conferees would stand three for Lowry and thr . ee for his competitor, and the consequence would lie that the bitterness of the conte-4 before the people would be carried into the caucus. The Colton delegates would proba bly be 11.4 zealous enemies ,of Lowry as the Crawford ones are - friendly, and out of the conflict between them might arise issues of the greatest importance. We do not believe tl form moment that Lowry will withdraw his claims for a nomination in any event, much less agree to have it new man brought out. Regarding the fight upon hint as personal entirely, he would rather take the risk of running as an independent:candidate than be cast aside altog,ether. Defeat to hint at pres ent is defeat for all time to come, and we know enough of the man to believe that if he should be overslaughed he would not WI without carrying his party down with him Democrats can form their judgment from these facts as to what course will be the bet ter for them - to pursue, Imo to ul,o ~ot w at. which will undouldedlY be made to them to lend their influence for one side or the other we trust they will bear them in retnetn-, brance. Our party will certainly have a candidate in the field—a - good netn and a staunch Democrat=ind it may be that events will - take a shape that will not render his prospects of election as hopeless as home appear to regard them. JUDGE LAMBEILTON, the Democratic nom inee for the Legislature of this 'county, has declined being a candidate on account. of ill health. The Democratic County Coinmittee will choose a candidate in his stead on the 27111 inst.-oi/ eitg Atr,diaa. With entire respect for Judge Lumberton, we Cannot avoid saying that unless the rea-- sons were partieulhrly strong, he did injus tice to• hitlyelf and his party- , by declining. He is probably the most popular Democrat in the county, and bade fair, had he remained upon the calume t to help redeem Venango county front the Radical thraldom under which it has been burdened tar a number of years past. In these times, and under such circumstances as surround us, every Thum erat'iti Wi;stern FiennSylvania should feel it a pleasure no less than a duty to subserve Permmakconvenienee to the interests of his country. . Is EXEity district of the county there are tunloubtedly some persons who are entitled to their naturalization papers iniime to note at the nest electi6n. It is important that these persons be provided with the necessary doe =cub; without delay. A Court for natural ization purposes will-undoubtedly he held, as usual, just previous to the day of election, but it would he well for those interested to embrade the earliest occasion which offers. We would advise Our friends in the different districts to look up the persons entitled to naturalization, and have their cases attended to at the next terfti of Court.

As a specimen of political strategy this beats anything extant., - - THE Gazette laiast, that it is " the first Republican journal in the country which came out positively and 'unequivocally for impeaching 'Andreiv Johnson immediately after the fall elections of MM." The state ment may be true, but if so, it is all the less creditable to our cotemponiry.

A CASE of remarkably sharp practice— a feature, by;the way, in Which the lawyers of the oil region are unrivalled—is related by a Franklin (Venaugo Co.) correspondent of the , Tutu' ville Herald': . ," An aspirant for bank rupt honors called upon his attorney in that place to have instituted the necessary pro ceedings.
