EPIt will be observed by the above
notice of the Chairman of the County
Committee, that the Democratic voters of
this county are requested to choose two
delegates from each township, on next
Saturday, March 1st, to meet in County
Convention, at Ebensburg, on the follow

appoint Conferees to meet the Conferees
from Bedford and Fulton counties, and
zUo, (should be) from Blair and Hunting
don counties, to elect two delegates to the
Reading Convention, and two delegates
to the Harrisburg Convention. This no
tice was handed us too late for insertion
in last week's paper, to remedy which,
we Struck off hand bills and forwarded
them to all the townships in the county,
which they would reach as soon, and
some townships sooner than the paper
itself. The hours were not designated,
but in the above they are placed from 2 to
6 o'clock P. M. To give a more general
knowledge of the election, we have issued
our paper this week on Wednesday. In
our next number we will publish the
proceedings of the Convention.
OUR SELVES.
To those friends who have became new
subscribers to our paper, thereby encou
raging cs, we would return our best thanks'
and as the compliment is appreciated, we
would say to others, "go thou and do like
wise." To our fair friend who has shown
her appreciation of our taste, by sending
us those delicious brandy peaches, we are
under a heavy obligation, and we are be
coming more satisfied with our unfortu
nate situation.
A Democratic Convention was held
in Westmoreland county on the 1 8th inst.,
and Hon. J. C. Plumraer was recom
taended as Senatorial delegate to the
Reading convention, and Col. Jas. Keenan
and John Hill were elected Representative
delegates. Hon. Henry D. Foster was
recommended as Senatorial delegate to
O
the Harrisburg convention, and II. P
Laird, Esq., and Hon. J. M. Burrell were
elected Representative delegaies. No in
structions given.
GThe democracy of Fayette held their
meeting at Uniontown on the 10th inst.,
and the delegates to the Reading conven
tion were instructed for Col. Bigler for
Governor, and Wm. Searight, Esq., for
Canal Commissioner. Resolutions in favor
of tho Union, of Gen. Cass, for President,
complimentary to Messrs. Buchanan, Clay,
Cass and Webster as compromise men,
and against Gov. Johnston's system of
Banking on State Stocks, were reid and
adopted.
CFCrawford county held its Democratic
convention on the 10th inst., and instruct,
ed their delegates to support Col. S. W.
Black ce their first choice, and CoL Wm.
Bigler as their second choice for Governor
Hon. James Thompson, of Erie, for
the Supreme Bench, George Merrtman,
Esq., of Crawford, as their first choice,
and C R. Bell, Esq., cf Mercer, as their
ffcend choice for Canal Commissioner.
Merchants and Mechanics Baufc.
A report has prevailed here that had its
origin in Blairsville or Westmoreland co
that the above Pittsburg Bank had failed.
The Pittsburg Chronicle in alluding to
this matter says: 4 We can assure our
friends that the report is false in every
particular, so those who have bills on the
Merchants and Manufacturers Bank, need
not be the least alarmed about them or
about the soundness of the institution.
We would advise those who have its
notes, not only to hold on to them, but
get as many more as they can, honestly."
We think the suggestion an excellent one.
The report was perhaps circulated for the
purpose of purchasing these notes at a
heavy discount from the laboring men on
the Central Rail Road who have been
paid off for some time in this money. If
this is true it is indeed outrageous.
C. S. Senator from New Jersey.
On Friday, 21st inst., Com. Stockton

GF On Saturday last the Democrats of

ACCIDENT.
A man in Johnstown, by the name of
Jacoby, in attempting to climb to the top
of a loaded coal wagon last week, slipped
and fell, the wheel passing over his body,
which may probably result in his death.
tySomerset county has appointed John
D. Roddy, Esq., Representative delegate
to the Reading convention, and Ross For
ward, Esq., Representative delegate to the
Judicial convention at Harrisburg. The
convention was held on the 12th inst.
Resolutions for the Union, and compli
mentary to General Cass, Hon. James
Buchanan, Judge Black, and Hon. John
L. Dawson were adopted.
FWe return our most sincere thanks
to Hon. Job Mann, for copies of the Con
gressional Globe for the Session of 1849
50, also to Messrs. Cessna, Linton and
Hemphill for the annual report of the Su
perintendent of Common Schools, and
other favors.
CP" Attention is called to the advertise
ment of Messrs. M. Buehler &, Bro.,
Hardware Merchants, Philadelphia, whom
our merchants will find to be gentlemanly
and clevei men, and would do well to call
on them when next they visit the city.
Also to the advertisement of Messrs. J.
Palmer fc Co., who have always on hand
a well selected stock of Groceries, which
they will sell on favorable terms. Phila
delphia and Pittsburg merchants would be
benefitted by advertising in this section.
Their own interests require it.
Blob in Boston.
The eastern papers contain full particu
lars of the arrest at Boston, on the 15th
inst., of Shadrach Wilkins, claimed by
Purser De Bree, of Virginia, as a fugitive
from labor, and of his rescue by a lawless
band of whites and negroes. This mob
in open day entered the court house where
the prisoner was in custody of a body of
men, the laws of that State like our own
in Pennsylvania refusing the use of the
jails to keep fugitives iu, knocked down
th ese men and finally rescued the prisoner
This is the first serious disturbance grow
ing out of this law, and we do hope that
these ruffians and desperadoes will meet
with their just deserts, for a more high
handed outrage we have not heard of
lately. Let the supremacy of our laws
be maintained at all hazards. Numerous
arrests of persons concerned in this dis
graceful affair have been made, the most
noted of which is that of Elizur Wright
Editor of the Chronotype," and one o
the "higher law" men, and a young law
yer, Charles G. David. About the same
time Thompson the British abolition lectu
rer was hung in effigy in Springfield
Mass., and pelted with rotten eggs. How
are these two opposite courses to be rec
onciled with each other. Upon the receipt
of the rescue of Shadrach, the President
issued the following :
PROCLAMATION
By the President of the United States.
Whereas, Information has been received
that sundry lawless persons, principally
persons of color, combined and confeder-
ated together, for the purpose of opposing!
by force the execution ot the laws ol the
United Slates, did at Boston, Massachu
setts, on the fifteenth of this mouth, make
a violent assault on the marshal or deputy
marshals of the Uuited States, for the
district of Massachusetts, in the court
house, and did overcome the said oficers,
and did, by force, rescue from their custo
dy a person arrested as a fugitive slave,
and then and there a prisoner lawfully
holden by the said marshal or ceputy
marshals of the United States, and other
scandalous outrages did commit in viola
tion of law
Now, therefore, to the end that the au
thority of the laws may be maintained,
and those concerned in violating them
brought to immediate and condign punish
ment, 1 have issued this my proclamation,
calling on all well disposed citizens to
rally to the support of the laws of their
country, and requiring and commanding
all officers, civil or military, and ail other
persons, civil or military, who stall be
found within the vicinity of this tutrage,
to be aiding and assisting, by all rreaiis in
their power, in quelling this and other
such combinations, and assisting the mar.
shal and his deputies in recapturing the
above mentioned prisoner: And I do, es
pecially, direct that prosecutions be com
menced against all persons who shall have
made themselves aiders or abettors in or
to this flagitious offence. And I do further
command that the District of the United
States, and all other persons concerned in
the administration or execution of the
laws of the United States, cause the fore
going offenders, and all such as aided,
abetted or assisted them, or shall be found
to have harbored or concealed such fugi
tive, contrary to law, to be immediately
arrested and proceeded with according to
law.

2id of February.
Pursuant to previous arrangement, a
arge and respectable portion of the citi
zens of this place assembled at Mr. Car-
mon's Hotel in honor of the anniversary
of the birth-da v of Washington, the
Father of his Country. At 7 P. M.
the company sat down to a sumptuous
repast prepared by the worthy Host, to
which full honor was rendered. After the
cloth was removed, the meeting was or
ganized by the appointment of the follow
ing officers:
President.
Hon. P. NOON.
Mice Presidents.
Johnston Moore, Esq.,
C. Litzinger, Esq.,
Col. M. IIasson, (

Mej. J. TiioxiyoN, 'y
James M'Dermit, Eiq.
Secretaries,'- '
J. C. O'Neill,
J. S. Buchanan, t
G. W. Todd.
Mr. Johnston xyts then called upon to
address the meeting, to which he respond
ed in a neat and eloquent manner, followed
by Mr. Magehan-ma masterly and truly
affecting style. During the course of the
eveuing, the meeting was severally ad
dressed in an able manner bv Messrs
Smith, Heyer, IIasson, and Hutchinson,
interspersed and beatifully enlivened with
solids from Messrs. M'Dermit. Rhev.
Ktuell.and the worthy Host, Mr. Cannon.
Alter enjoying themselves to a reasonable
hour, the company, well pleased with
themselves and "the rest of mankind,"
returned a vote of thanks to the worthy
Host and Hostess, and adjourned to meet
on the 22d February, 1852.
CP We attended the above celebration
of the anniversary of the birth of the
great the good Washington, anJ never in
our life has the celebration of the glorious
22d passed off more agreeably. It was a
social gathering of the inhabitants of our
village, for the purpose of venerating and
esteeming the virtues, the patriotism and
the excellence of him who was justly
styled the Father of his Countr. They
wished to remind themselves once more
that the republican principles, the military
and civic talents, the glorious actions ofj
George Washington still occupied a
place within their hearts, and was im
pressed " within the book and volume of
their brain." It is right that ihe worthy
actions of a man should be treasured as
the last legacy that he has left us, but the
hardships the privations that Washington
endured for us, the blessings, the country,
the independence he bequeated us should
be cherished and sacred to every American
heart. We should ever remember our
benefactor, our liberator, he that formed
for us this infant Republic, now grown
into vigorous manhood, that has reached
a position that the world envies, the des
pots fear the humble peasant glories in.
that is the home of the oppressed, the
centre of liberty, the model nation of the
world. Let us cherish the counsel, the
commands of this great man, tp forget all
sectional differences, to preserve the Union
of these States. Let the American people
adopt for their motto the advice that
Washington willed them, in his letter of
June, 1783, to the Governors of tho diff
erent States :
1st. "An indissoluble union of the States
under one federal head.
2d. "A sacred regard to public justice.
. 3d. "The adoption of a proper peace
establishment. And
4th. "The prevalence of that pacific
and friendly disposition, among the peopltf
of the United States, which will induce
them to foroet their local prejudices
AND Politics, to make those mutual con
cessions which are requisite to the
general prosperity, and, in some instan

The following Irom the A.Ita-Californinn j
of Jan. 15ih somewhat resembles one of!
Baron Munchausen's fables, but is given
as true.

cious metal in exehange for a barrel of
wheat.
It is well known that the steamer Ches
apeake, with about thirty adventurers, left
this port on the 21st ult., for the Klamath
and in yesterday's paper we gave some
account of her progress.
Scarcely was our paper issued when
ihe Chesapeake came into port bringing
back five or six of the "prospecters." Gen
John Wilson, and John A. Collins, Esq.,
among the number.
A meeting of the stockholders was
called to hear the result ot the expedition.
Twenty-seven miles beyond the Trinity
there is a beach several miles in extent,
and bounded by a high bluff. The sands
of this beach are mixed with gold to an
extent almost beyond belief. The sand is
ot two kinds a fine black sand and a
very grey sand.
The grey sand can be separated very
easily from the black sand, and this seems
to be a desirable object. The cold is
mixed with the black sand in proportions
of from ten cents to ten dollars the pound.
At times when the surf is high the gold
lis not easily discovered, but in the spring
of the year, after a succession of calms,
the entire beach is covered with bright and
yellowish rrold.
i Mr. Collins, the secretary of the Pacif-
ic Mining Company, measured a patch of
gold and sand, and estimates it will ielj
lo each iii'-inber of the company the s-duj
little sum of S43 000,000 and this est?,
mate is formed upon a calculation that the
sand holds out to one-tenth zs rich as ob
servation warrants them in supposing.
The Pacific Mining Company th
adventurers of the Chesapeake have ban
ded themselves together under this tide
found some 19 men at these diggings.
The men had no disposition to dig for
the gold was already lor them wheaaver
they were disposed to take it.
Besides such is the character of lae
roads that they could not take away more
than 75 or 100 pounds apiece an amount
too trifling for their consideration.
They had erected a comfortable log
cabin, and designed watching this claiai
until the spring, and then take a ship load
of the gold, and travel to some country
where the metal was not so abundant.
Mr. Collins saw a man who had aecj.
mulated fifty thousand pounds, or fifty
thousand tons he did not recollect which
of the richest kind of black sand.
General Wilson says that thousands cf
men cannot exhaust litis gold iu thousands
of years, and he gives all who douSt his

The company will send up 100 addi

of operations.
We await with anxiety further reports.
Numerous specimens of ihe sanJ and gold
were exhibited to the stockholders ai' tlie
meeting last evening.
