It is all • imporont that the Whig organization should be maintained, and we hope there fore that the most discreet ifnd practical persons will be sent as delegates—men, of enlarged views and patriotic spirit, who can rise above mere factious considera tions. The course of action to 'be adop ted by the Convention will have a most important bearing not only upon the pres ent but the future. What that action shall be, or whether it is expedient or not to make nominations, we shall not undertake to determine. We shall not attempt to dictate, to others whom we may presume are as well informed as our self. ,We leave the question in the bands of the infelligent whip of the county up on whose judgment we can safely rely for a wise course of action. We hope the convention will be strictly 11 h y Convention, and that the adherc;nts of other organizations will seo the propriety of retraining frdni any in terfertince in the election of delegates.— If there are but a dozen whigs in enc.) township, .they and they alone have th right to select their own representatives, Any interference with them by member of another party can only lead to collisio and strife and we trust will be avoided ARTFUL Doixn Loeofoc County Convention last week resolve. that as XehnSylvanians we have nothin to do with the slave question."

The foreboding of evil with which quiet citizens regarded the movement of Sena torzn` Douglass in Congress, is now realized and the mischievous consequences of reckless agitation are upon us. The *out rages in Kansas have stirred up the depths of the popular heart and men ev ery where feel that the great question must be met—sternly met. Once the south aelcnowlet , ed Slavery to - be ''an evil"--Lan evil brought upon thorn with . - (mt their MA agency and to which they alone could apply the remedy. The con servative North admitted the plea and u nited to protect the South against the reckless interference of hot-headed agita tors. Eat—the.rntli has charged her po sition and slavery is now zealously defen ded its a rightful institution while its propagation over free territory is boldly urged. The outrages in Kansas are the legitimate consequences of this monstrous doctrine. .I: , ainst the present course of the South the North is hound to take a firm stand. Tlw wanton violation of a sacred compact in the repeal of the Missouri Compromise —the ruthianly outrap‘s of the Missouri desperadoes, in Kansas—cannot be tamely submitted to. In relation to these mat ters there is but one opinion among all parties at the North. The indignation of even truckling locofocoisin is roused by the indignity which Gov, Reeder has suffered, and it is only in such a county as Cumberland where they feel that they have "nothing to do with the slave'ques tion." Other Counties hav'e spoken as men and as freemen who Will not tamely brook injustice and wrong. The age of dough-faccisn► is past we hope. FALL ELECTIONS Elections have yet to be held this year, we believe, in twelve States. In most of them Legislatures and State <leers are to be ehos'en, and in four of the Rep resentatives to Congress Of the latter class are Louisiana, 4r issippi, Georgia acid Maryland, which arc entitled in the aggregate to twenty-thr i ve members.— The., election will take place as follows : —California Tuesday September 4; Vermont—:—Tuesday September 4; Maine —Monday, September 10; GCo rgia— Monday, October 1; Pennsylvania, In diana and Ohio—Tuesday, October 9; Louisiana and Mississippi--Monday, November 5; New York and Wisconsin —Tuesday, November 6; Maryland— Wednesday, November 7 ; Massachusetts —Monday; November 12. NORTIIAMPTON.—The Democracy o Northampton county, met on Monday, at Easton with the intention of expressing their approval of the Course pursued by their fellow citizen, Gov. Reeder, in Kansas, and their indignation at the treat menthe had received from the Adminis tration. Senator Broadhead attended, and previous to the meeting prevailed on the leading Democrats to abandon the resolution condemning the President, and on condition of their .agreeity: to this, gave theni full permission to say whatev , 7 er they pleased in the resolutions in cone: mendation of GoV: Reeder. Senator- B. then spoke for an hour and a half touch ing on almost every other political sub- jest but that on which the people felt Senator Broadhead ,doped it Would be withdrawn, ions the best thing done ,Iqty .ession." The resolution was with drawn accordingly. ‘. .• DELA.WARE.'—in the :Whig Convention of Delaware county last week a split took place. A portion' of the Convention sec'e.; ded and ,those who remained nominated, a ticket ) with Joshua P. Eyre . for Assem- Q 1 . n KANSAS. They are. carrying out the "popular sovreigh ty'!• idea in Kansas in be4ntiful s.tyle, ; truly ! 'The Missouri mob Le . gis lature of that territory has just enacted a' law containing thefollowing among other provisions : Section 12.—1 f any free person, by speaking or by writing, assert or plantain that persons have not the right to hold Slates to th'e Territory, or shall introduce into Kansas, print, publish, write circulate, or caused to be introduced in- to the territory. written printed, published or circulated in this territory, any book, paper, magazine. pamphlet or circular containing the denial of the right of persons to hold slaves in this territory, such per Sops shall be deemed guilty of felony, and punished by imprison ment at hard. labor for a term not less than two years. Other provisions of the act make the tampering with aeuroes so as.to entice them away or stir them lip into rebellion, punishable with death. The Legislature has also passed an act admitting the Shaw nee Indians to the rights of citizenship. They are all slave holders. A correspon dent of the St, Louis _ Republican says that the sessio is drawing to a close, and that the lATislature is (loin , : up its bus• iness fast. A railway from Leavenworth to Lecompton has been incorporated.— The various acts of the legislature have entirely distranchised the free State set . - tlers ; one of these gives to the countv courts the appointment of the election of !jeers. The county courts arc all pro_ slavery. Another act all, A's :Inv man to vote without regard to .resid e n c e, on the payment of a dollar and the taking of certain oaths. This admits all NI or in fact people from alk where else.— lint the various enactments respecting slavery make felons of all the free State men, and thus deprive .them of the rights of citizenship: The oaths required of them are to support, the Kansas bill and enforce the fu , itive slave law which most of them refused to do. Any than may challenge,,a voter, and upon such .chal- - lenge the voter may be required to take these paths. Governor - Reeder has offi cially notified the Legislature of his re nioval, and that. the,Territorial Secretary, Mr. Woodson, is Governor pro tem. PnILADELyntA.—The Whigs of Phil adelphia seems to be very much divided as to the, course proper to be pursued ibis fall. They have so many different kinds of conventions that it is difficult to tell in which the old Whig party is to be found. One of tbese conventions styling itself the "regular Whig City Conven tion," met on Thus'-day of last week.— After .sonic discussion, they adopted a series of resolutions, denouncing "all se cret political associations;" in favor of "Americanizing the National govern ment, and restricting the naturalization of'foreigners;" urging the duty of, gov ernment to give us a protective tariff; denouncing the Kansas Nebraska bill, and asking for the restoration of the Mis souri Compromise, and repudiating all the "so-called efforts to reorganize the Whig party." The convention adjourn. ed without making any nomination. it is thought that the members of it will support an anti-Nebraska movement. .OEY-The Republican State Convention, ealte - d to assemble at Pittsburg on the sth of Septembe'r, promises to be well attended—if we may judge from the ar ray of di r stinguisbed speakers expected to be present. The Dispuid says that Messrs'. Chase; Wade. and . Cliddings, of Ohio, Wilson, 'of Massachusetts, and Wilmot' of our State, have all sent.let ters accepting; the invitation to be pres ent. Messrs Sumner and Rale it•is also hoped, will respond favorably; and; .111r.' Seward is also invited. The art•ay of great advocates of freedom is sufficiently attractive to bring an immense gathering from all parts of the State. Dn. BE/um—The Judgement of the Suprme Coat of this state, in the case of Dr. ' Beale, the Philadelphia Dentist, raCdelivered a few days ago by Chief justie4 Lewis. The Court refused to grant the motion for a new trial, but reversed the sentence on the ground of Pom o informality, and directed the Court be low to sentence hini anew. The Court was unanimous in this opinion, with one exeption, (Judge Black,) who favored a new trial. , . , Ltount aiih'lCiiiiata` Mtters.

A WARM CoNTF,sT.--The American party of this county have been in a flurry of excitement for a feW days past in reference to the formation of their ticket. The contest waxes warm between the candidates, espe cially for the Sheriff's and Treasurer's offices. A good deal of murmuring is heard, and al though the American secret caucus mode of selecting candidates by ballot jai:toasted as the. most Democratic mode, a good many now think that as much juggling anti wire-working can be practised in that way as under the old l ilelegate system. The delegates meet to complete the nominations to-day. LocoFoca DEmoNsinATioN.—A loco- foco county meeting was held in the Court House on Monday evening. Col. A. 0. Ege made the Trine ipal speech of the evening.— The Col. is accurtomed to speaking to Mary land audiences and hence the general tenor of his speech was strongly pro-slavery. Ile forgot probably that the convention of the we.•k before had resolved that the Locos of uniberland county had " nothing to do with the Slave quetion."

EDITOR :—A resolution of the recent convention of the democratic party, of Duni berland county, is calculated to make a very erroneous impression upon the minds of our citizens with regard to the nature of the law which passed last winter on the subject . of li ceases. The resolution assumes that, :the law was passed in (Mregard of the expresse(L will of the people. In the advocacy of principles whether by parties or individuals, it will be found that a candid adherenced to truth will best promote the object in view. It will be remetnbcred, that the question presented to the people at the last' election was, are you in• favor of prohibition or against prohibition ? and the'decision of the voters was, as we think rightly, against prohibition. For wo aro not of those who would undertake to control abso: cutely the business or the appetites of men by law. • Wi'obibition,' as the term is pow well understood, means, that it shall _be unlawful to manufacture or to buy, sell or otherwise deal in ardent spirits ; and for the • infraction of that law there are odious remedies and pun ishments annexed, Now the law passed last winter has no such character at all. There is not a word in ,it to prohibit the manufacturingc - the buying, the selling or, if yetfplease, 'the' drinking' of ar dent spirits; but its .whohzi; object, meaning and design is to break up 4ie- bar-room—that place which the law of 'the - Commonwealth' heretofore has set up and iintintainecl for the, purpose that boys and then may learn to drink! and become vagabonds. drunkards' and erittil „l nets. If the voters of tide eounty,.pr of any other county of this State, will but look at this sub• joot dispassionately and act understandingly we feel greSt confidence that•there Is not one in ten, who will not,glve his hearty sanction to the law as it nem all., ov'enta until he shall have trled it and found its ill effects.— If a farmer's son visits our town or the viein- ity of a country tavern, and but waters his horse, by the custom of the country. and the habits of the people,- having their origin in the present license systCM, ho is doomed a moan follow 11Pi(i8E4 ho buytta drink of spirits.
