It is to be hoped that our friends, entertain' it, just view of the iniportance . of 'attending to these prizitary elections... • Every one is willing to adinitithat thg coln mitts 'system is the only means by tv"Lich ii ticket can be'regularly 'meditated, and _thQ strength of the iarty concentrated en it. Yet, it is astonishing how indifferent our men are in attending these township and borough elections. If you expectin see a good ticket in'the field,, turn out at thti delegate election, and send the right Men to form it.— 'This is animportnnt crisis in public affairs, an effort is now making throughout the CQW:I7 try, to revolutionii,e - the lower litnnieq gress, and to succeed in thiit effort the PEOPLF. must measure their numerical strengthagainst The power of the - Administration.

This duty has never been attended to, the standing committees appointed front year to year, forget iriMew weeks that they are on t•he_commitiee at all,und, are only reminded of it when they are called together to appoint a time for the Delegate elections and the meet ing of the convention. • , We would suggest that in future, when time County Conventionappoints the standing com mittee they direct their secretaries to notify specially. those who have been appointed:and require them to meet in Carlisle, -within ten days After, to orgvlziand perform sucltqlt er duties as may beleund necessary to etisWe the success of the ticket.

Ilia ser ',vants are obliging and accommodating, ready at all times to render the service required at their hands. ' The table is abundantly furnish ed with the best of everything the markets afford. , • The great feature of the place, however, is the ocean bath. At the-hour of 11 o'clock, A. -M., the crowd of visitors' make their appear ance' upon the bench, exhibiting every variety of attire, and presenting a moat fantastic spectacle. Once in the ocean, with the break ers rolling furiously over t Ito immense throng, men, women, and children may be seen plung ing in every direction, some shouting under - , the shock of the foam-created billow, others _crying for help ns they are, thrown off. their feet, and ildinieme juvenile portion screaming with terror as they imagine the ocean hos ,swallowed the s m•whole. Taking my position m the crowd, a few days since, 1 cast my eyes about to catch a view of the beautiful women by whom I had' een surrounded the day before at the dinner-table. But, oh! pity me! At. my right, might be seen a maiden of thirty - five, more or less; and, as mho had just got a little more salt water down her throat than she had 'bargained for, the retching 'process to -wlilch-she was now subjected, disclosed ,the fact, that the pearly teeth which had done such good service over the sheep-head and roast-dudk, had been converted into guntx. The iosy cheeks had been so acted 'upon by, the briny wave al to be transformed into a very sallow complexion. I confess,' I felt some ;•--.lvhat" alarmed . ; but standing my ground, I looked' in !wallet' direction, hoping . to see something to please the eye; 4 -Vanity of van hies, all is vanity." I looked in vain Wo men, without hair upon their heads; with oil cloth caps to protect the boldness which had ; long been covered with false hair,,might be seen on all sides; and, as I stood musing upon the scene before me, I became so agitated that, 1 concluded the only chance tbr safety was •a plunge in the ocean wave. But, as 1 turned, a breaker gave Me a broad-side, and °away I •! went dashing among the crowd. 'Feeling a / powerful pressure uppn my body. I screamed for help, thinking that some .niurnster of the deep wits about to carry.-me , •off. Ithagine My agreeablO surprise. when I arose to the su,r -• face, on. finding that the breaker had 'only rolled against nto a Judy weighing about f /wee .hundred pounds!
