The elections were held in Kentucky on Mon day, the 4th of August The returns Bbow the election of CoL Lazarus W. Powell, the Demo cratic candidate for Governor, over Archibald Dixon, the Whig candidate, by a majority of three thousand. This shows a Democratic gain, since 1818, of 10,000 rotes. Hon. John B. Thompson, Whig, is elected Lieut Gorei-nor. The Democrats hare gained one Congressman. The following is the result: Linn Boyd, (D.) is elected to Congress from the First district; Ben.

The editor of the Easton Argus, writing from Lynchburg, Va., very justly makes the following remarks in reference to the course pursued by certain journals in this State, who, in their at-J tempts to injure the character of Mr. Buchanan. have been all along making friends for him. . w . w u uiwu 1UI 1LU11. I Although we are favorable to the nomination of Gen. Cass, we cannot stand idly by and see the reputation of a leading member of the Demo- cratic party assailed, without placing our veto upon such a course. The letter says: The editors of the Harrisburg Keystone are pursuing a very ungenerous eourse. Suppose every other democratic paper in Pennsylvania were to adopt a similar course, what would be the end of it! If all the papers friendly to Mr. Buchanan were to follow the example set by the Keystone, and abuse Gen. Cass, Judge Douglass and others, we would have a beautiful state of affairs. It must be peculiarly grati fying to that paper to find its articles against Mr. Buchanan re-published in all the vhig pa pers of the South the democratic journals know how to estimate its attacks ; they have not for gotten that the Keystone was a rabid free-soil paper only a year ago, and are well aware that its opposition to one of the greatest Statesmen of the age emanates from the malicious hearts of disappointed aspirants for public plunder. Suppose Mr. Buchanan did oppose the admis sion of Missouri as a slave State! What docs that prove! Can't a man, in S2 years, change his opinions in regard to public measures! It might as well be argued that because Henry Clay was a democrat in his younger days, he cannot possibly be the fcteadfast, unflinching whig that every person knows him to be, now." RESIGNED. Thomas A. Maguire, Esq., has resigned his situation as Assistant Superintendent of Motive Power on the Allegheny Portage Rail Road. Capt. Thelps has been appointed by the Canal Commissioners to fill the vacancy. The private business of Major Maguire demands his entire attention: henca Lis resignation. In retiring from this situation, it is but neccs3ary to state" that the friendly relations existing between Capt. West, the gentlemanly Superintendent, and Mr. Maguirefcare not severed, and that both parties desire to maintain thatintimacv throurrK life that has existed during their official con nexion. Major Maeuire will devntA v.;a attention to his Hotel in Johnstown, and will use all exertion to increase its accommodations and add to the comfort of his guests. sw Arrangements. On and after the 15th day of August, (to morrow,) the Penna. Railroad will run their cars from the Junction to Lockport, 20 miles below Johnstown. Staging from that day will cease through Ebensburg.

The Democracy of Fulton County held their - j I County Convention on Saturday last, and ap- I pointed Conferees to meet the Conferees from Bedford and Somerset to place in nomination a candidate for Senator, and instructed them to support Hon. John Cessna. Nathaniel Kelly and Samuel Hobinson, Esqrs., were nominated for Associate Judges; Mason Lodge, Esq., for o w a v County Commissioner, and Jacob Watts, Esq., for County Auditor. Daniel Lake, Geo. White, and James B. Sansom. Esars.. were anrjointed x x Representative Conferees, to meet the Conferees from Bedford and Cambria, and instructed to vote for Wm. P. Schell, Esq., of Fulton, and CoL John Kean,of Cambria, for the Legislature. Resolutions were passed for Hon. James Bu chanan, as the choice of Fulton CJStnty for the next Presidency. The proceedings were unan imous. The Representative Conferees from Cambria, Bedford and Fulton Counties, will meet in Bed ford, on Tuesday the 2d day of September next, at the Hotel of Major Davis, to nominate two candidates for the Legislature, and appoint delegates to the next State Convention. Cholera. Johnstown and vicinity are still afflicted with the disease bearing so close a resemblance to cholera, that we cannot call it by any other name. Since Thursday morning last there has been ten or twelve deaths, some of which oc curred in the short space of from four to six hours. The disease has all the symptoms of cholera and is pronounced to be such by the resident physicians. It has bora confined to a certain locality, that part of the town lying along the base of the hill, but we learn is ex tending to the northern and western part of the village. The German population has suffered most from its attacks, caused, it is said, by the large quantity of greens, Dew potatoes, and vegetables they eat daily. The basin of the Canal is overgrown with raak weeds, and the effluvia arising from it every morning is also said to be a cause of the prevailing sickness. The Ilollidaysburg Whig acknowledges a licking on the beautiful question. We make the amende honorable, Major, is to the error we had fallen into. We know of another licking the Whig will have to acknowledge that of the wlugs by the democracy at the October election. Set the type up, for, as Bure as the sun shines, we wH1 beat yu wrse than they have done in T7" . . Kentucky.

JE The Tittsburg papers state that a man named McCormick has been giving a number of philosophical experiments at Lafayette HalL one of the most extraordinary of which is that of walking (by means of shoes of a peculiar con struction,) in an inverted position, on the under surface of a highly polished slab of Italian mar blo atttached to the ceiling a feat never before achieved by any man! Responsible persons certify to the fact. The San Francisco correspondent of the Journal of Commerce, under date of July '1st, says that a cargo of ice had arrived there, and stowed in it were 150 barrels of 'Baldwin' apples, nicely packed, and each apple carefully envel oped in paper. Notwithstanding their perishing condition, flavor gone, and many of them de cayed, and none that would keep sound a fort night, they readily found purcha8ers at $30 per barrel in parcels of ten, or $35 per single bar rel They are retailed about our streets at 25 cents each for those that are sound ; the others, three for a quarter, according to the number of specs. bE,TrCSr " pers tZ orthTSv the California pa- l r. , . i,bcott R'er, in June .

The new constitution of Virginia, which will undoubtedly be adopted, requires nothing of the voter except that he be a white male over 21, resident in the State for two years, and in the county or city where he offers to vote for one year. It is thought that this will more than double the number of voters in Virginia. S& We notice with sincere regret the death of Mrs. Allen, the wife of the President of Gi rard College. This sad event took place on Friday morning last, at Chester county. Mrs. Allen wae on her way to Bellefonte, when she was seized with the illness that closed her mor tal existence. S A letter from Glasgow, Mo., dated July 25 says that that town is nearly deserted by its inhabitants, they having fled through fear of the cholera j up to that day thirteen deaths by the disease had taken place. Among them were George H. Petts, editor of the Glasgow Banner, Mrs. Duenkle, and Mrs. Steele. t The Stockholm journals state that M'lle Jenny Lind has just purchased one of the largest estates in Sweden, that of Beckarshoerg, in the province of Nykoping. These journals state that the last letters received by her friends in Sweden contradict positively the reports lately published of her approaching marriage. Jfj" A correspondent of the Augusta Vindi cator nominates Thomas Ritchie, Esq., as the next Governor of Virginia. Mr. Ritchie is a particular favorite with the Democrats of Au gusta county.

Mr. Editor: In the Sentinel of July Cist, I observe the communication of Sancho, agaiast the Bloomer Costume. It appears I threw down the gauntlet and he picked it up. I certainly bid him welcome in the ring. I did indeed expect him to advocate the old mole of dress, and show wherein it is superior and more adapted to the comfort of woman than the con templated change, but sad disappointment awaited me. In my communication a few wetks ago, I stated (and by the way it is admitted by most ladies,) that the present mode of dress is not the best that could be adopted, and that Reform in female costume was necessary. Hence the onus probands lies on Sancho's shoulders, and he should have shown wherein it is that the present mode of female dress adds so much -grace ana dignity to tne lady, but he is 1 8transel7 afnt oa this subject. I have read Sancho's article again and again, and am at last 1 -6" &'-i" constrain ea to exclaim with Bassanio in the constrained to exclaim ! r . Merchant of Venice, "bis arguments are like two grains of wheat in two bushels of chaff, you must search all to find them, and after you have found them they are not worthy your search." Sancho makes a few beautiful rheto- flourishes, and no doubt when he wrote ti3 articic on Bloomerism he must have been inspired with the chivabric spirit of Don Quix otte. It is a very fine thing to talk about fame," "sword," "pen" and "sweet nonsense," but what all these things have to do with the present subject under consideration it is difficult for me to Conceive, unless Sancho thinks that by making use of such "heroic" epithets he will bo able to drive the friends of the Bloomer costume from the field, and thus make himself sole umpire of the world of fashion. We shall now briefly notice a few of Sancho's remarks. He says Mrs. Bloomer . proposes a complete and sudden transformation of the present dress worn by ladies." Well is it wrong that Mrs. Bloomer should do so ! If the present mode of female dress is not the best that could be worn, and Sancho does not deny the fact, is it not perfectly consonant with reason and common sense that a change should take place in the world of female fashion! Again ho says, "It (the new dress) is undeniably pretty' for a Harem girl or ballet dancer; but no less unsuit able for an enlightened woman," &c. Ah, in deed! How does Sancho know it would be un suitable for an "enlightened" woman. This is simply an ipse dixit without any proof to sus tain it. We have it from the lips of intelligent laoies who say that the new dress is very suit able we also have the opinions of eminent physicians, who say that tho dress now worn by ladies is very injurious to health And is this no proof positive ! Are we not to take the opinions of men who are capable of judging! I am of the opinion that Mrs. Bloomer com pares favorably with Sancho's female friend in intelligence, whose language Ue quotes. Cut let Mrs. ElnnmPi. nek for herself. Below is an extract of a letter written by her to the N. Y. Tribune. "Many seem to think if we shorten our dresses just enough to permit them to pass over cigar-stubs, tobacco juice, and other nitn, tnas is all that is necessary to be done, lou, sir, i believe, entertain that opinion. But we who know from experience the evils of lone skirts even though they fall no lower than the ankle and the blossioes of short ones, can not aeree with those who think thus. The longer the dress, the greater the quantity of underskirts needed to give us a good figure; the shorter the dress the greater the number and weight dispensed with. If we wear long dresses, we must from ne cessity wear a considerable amount of under clothing; for even a lady in short dress and trousers does not appear so decidedly immodest and vulgar, as does she with a lonz one cline ing close to her form, and whipping about her limbs. By shortening our skirts two or three inches we might save them wiping up filth from the Btreet; but they are 'just as cumbersome and crippling as the longer ones; whereas, by shortening them nearly to the knee, we not only give freedom and elasticity to our limbs, but re lieve ourselves of the undue weight hitherto suspended from the waist. We may look more graceful in the draseline skirt, but weee more graceful in the short one. The only question in regard to the new cos tume, should be as to its utility; and there are enough of us who can speak from experience on that point. Custom will make any. dress look well ; and already, to my eye, the Ameri can short dress and trousers appears more truly graceful and genteel, than the long, mopping, crippling drapery." We now ask Sancho to read the opinion of a physician on the subject of the new dress : "But I have stronger reasons professional and scientific for siding with the reformers, among which are the following the use of long dresses, implies, as a general thine, the use of stays, thus leading to consumption and a host of other diseases; the use of said ungainly costume is incompatible with exercise, to any extent, and therefore tends to injury of the muscular system, as well as of the nervous and circulatory. The quantity of skirt and prodi gality of nnder-garments infallibly destroys the figure, and frequently induces lumbar abscess, or general spinous affection. The tm-dewy fluids j and vn-Lubinized extracts collected by the long flowing garments and from them in part trans mitted to the inferior portion of the lower ex tremities, throws back the blood from the sur face of the skin, thus engendering cold and itj many distressing and fatal results. I do not wish Woman to unsex herself. But she may become rational without becominir masculine. Is she not rational then ? one cries ; I answer, She has reason surel r, but she does not exercise it at present. Reason and long skirts could not be co-existent: Reason and draggle-tails are sternly opposed. Reason does not admit the legitimacy of boddices (tightly laced) and is a foe to artificial disease on principle. Beasoa considers a sound body preferable to a Grecian bend," and prefers being in good health to being in the fashion. In the name of reason, then, loosen the 6Uy -strings and shorten the skirts." Does Sancho still think the New Costume unsuitable for an "enlightened" woman ! Does Sancho mean to say that none but ignorant la- lies have adopted the Lluumer costume ! "Ani since it is clearly proved," says he, "that nei ther health nor comfort are advanced by it, no lady of good taste would lay aside the graceful and dignified long dress fur the doll baby attire of Mrs. Bloomer." How exccedinelv modest! Has Mrs. Bloomer no taste! Clear proofs! Where are they! Will Sancho give us his idea of the physician's opinion we quote, and then say whether the Bloomer costume is only doll baby attire" ! I particularly invite the atten tion of the reader to Sancho's closing remarks. And, Oh, gentle reader! did you ever read any thing more sublime! Sancho no doubt imagined that he had a wife a disciple of Mrs. Bloomer and that he was treated badly. Oh, ye gods and little fishes ! Let not Sancho's fate be that which flitted across his imagination, when he bowed at the shrine of anti-Bloomerism. Mav he have a gentle, loving wife, one after the im age of his own heart, one that will look with horror upon the friends of the New Costume, and though she may be able to wear the bree ches" in petticoats, and smoke cigars, play ; cards, &c. Dear Editor, I here leave the sub ject with you and your readers, 1 By remaining, AMICUS. Dr. Ryder and the Union. The Washington Telegraph, in alludin to the address of the distinguished President of the Georgetown College, Dr. Ryder, at the com mencement, on Thursday last' says: "Dr. Ryder surpassed even himself. His glowing eulogy on the Union his scathing de nunciations of those who would weaken its bonds or sever its ties called forth a respon sive burst of applause from all who were within the sound of his voice. If Dr. Ryder were a politician, this speech, our informant says, would elevate him far above the many who are called great, in the estimation of those who are satisfied with the Union as it is." Blgler's Prospects. Three years ago, we stated that CoL Bigler was then the most available candidate for Gov ernor in the State. This opinion has only been strengthened by time and circumstan.ces, and we repeat that he is now even more popular and more the favorite of the masses than he was then. There is no Democrat opposing him any where ; but a number of whigs in various parts of the State, of intelligence and prominence, cordially give him their favor and support. This is the reward of a well-spent public life, and his example should be followed by all who as- PIXS to puouc tavcr Clearfield Republican.
