The prolyl lility is that the name of Win. V.
Schell, Esq., of McConnellsburg, will be asso
ciated with that of Col. John Kean, on the As
sembly tiekct. The Democracy of Fulton county
nave expressed their preference for him. an.l
it
is supposed that Bedford county will also in
struct their Conferees for Mr. Schell. Wo V
no hesitation in stating that should Mr. Schcll
be nominated by the Conferees, he will, in con
nection with Col. Kean, receive the united vn
of the Democracy of Cambria. He is a youn
man, one oi the young Democracy, nossossod
fine talents, a powerful adversary at debate an
a most excellent public speaker. He has been
n worker in the cause, he never stood idly uhen
there was need of action, is a Democrat of whom
the district is justly proud, and if nominated we
predict hi3 triumphant election.
Col. John Kcan has been nominated as the
choice of Cambria county for. the Legislature
and of course the Conferees will endorse it

Iostructive Fire.
vuite a destructive fire occurred on Saturday
morning last, in Jolinstown. The Games were
discovered, about one o'clock iu the morning
issuing from the tin shop of Mr. Adaru Fochler,
on Main street, and in a very short time had
extended to the buildings immediately adjoin
ing. Juc tire company was rromntlv on the
ground and used every exertion to stay the pro
gress of the fire, but their efforts proved una
vailing, on account of the inefficiency of the en
gine and the scant supply of water. A line of
persons was formed from the feeder and water
passed along in buckets, and although the gen
tlemen assisted with all their strength the noble
exertions of the ladies to render assistance arc
worthy of the highest praise. 'Tis said they
worked like fine f Motes. In this manner the
houses on the opposite side of Main street were
saved, although on fire several times, and the
fire was eventually extinguished, not however,
until ten dwelling house." aud a number of out
houses were entirely destroyed. The names of
all the sufferers we have been unable to leam,
but among the number arc the following : Adam
Fochler, house, store and tin shop ; Mr. Supes,
house and store; Mr. Zimmerman, house and
cabinet shop ; Mr. Hamilton, house and tailor
shop; T. L. Ileyer, Esq., house and office;
David Lee, house. The above named persons
lost nearly everything, and many articles taken
out of the houses were burned on the street.
Mr. Charles Ellis was the owner of several
houses and loses heavily. Had Dr. Sheridan's
Drug Store, and Maj. Maguire's stables caught
fire the whole square would have been destroyed.
The loss is estimated at from $15,000 to 20,000,
a large portion of which is insured in the Ly
coming and Keystone State Mutual offices.
The burnt district will be re-built as soon as
possible.
Johnston Unpopular iu Blair.
The late "Whig Convention of Elair county
nominated for Associate Judges, Messrs. Cald
well and Sliugluff. The nomination of Mr.
Slingluff was entirely satisfactory to the party,
but that of Mr. Caldwell is not a popular one.
and a meeting was held a few days ago at Wil
liamsburg denouncing it, and resolving that the
"cry is still for Gardner. The people feel and
say, that for honesty, respectability and capa
city as a Judge, he is the man, and that he and
Slingluff must be the Judges." A few months
ago Gov. Johnston appointed James Gardner an
Associate Judge of that county, vice George R.
McFarlane, resigned. The Elair county Whigs
in not re-nominating Mr. Gardner have virtually
said: "Governor, you cannot dictate to the us,
you nominated a person for Judge whom we
cannot now support, and we will place a more
unpopular man in his stead and throw you and
your profound judgment overboard." We take
it that the Governor cannot be popular in that
section, otherwise they would have treated his
nomination with some little "distinguished con
sideration." In conclusion we would state, that
we know Mr. Gardner, and for "honesty, re
spectability and capacity," there could not be a
better Whig selected.
Democrats Remember,
That the Whig papers abuse Hon. Ellis Lewis
because he was once an apprentice. lie is now
a nominee of the Democratic party for the Su
preme Eench. We think he has unusual talent,
perseverance and energy, else he could not have
raised from a poor apprentice to be a Judge,
"learned in the law."
That they oppose the election of Hon. James
Campbell, of Thila., another candidate of our
Tarty for the Supreme Eench, because forsooth
his father was an Irishman and emigrated to
this country. Answer them by saying, Gen.
Jackson, the Hero of New Orleans, the Man of
Iron-will, was of Irish descent.
That they oppose Col. Eigler because his
mother once baked ginger-cakes and sold them
to make an honest living. That they call Gen.
Clover a common man because he lives in the
back-woods away up m Clarion county. Well.
the . Democratic party likes ginger-bread and
i j. . i
wu i'J nonor common men and they intend-to
give Eigler and Clover an uncommon laro ma
jority next October.
Result of lhcLato Elections.
Lazarus W. Towell, Democrat, elected Gover
nor of Kentucky. A Democrat elected to Ccn
grcs from the Ashland district, formerly repre
sented for so many years by Henry Clay.
The Congressional delegation in Kentucky
stands 5 democrats, 4 whigs, 1 independent.
In Indiana, 8 democrats, one whig, and one
F rec Soil whig elected to Congress. , In North
Carolina the delegation 6tands the same as in
the last Congress, G whigs and 3 democrats. In
Alabama, Henry W. Collier, States Rights
Democrat, has been re-elected Governor, and 5
democrats and 2 whigs elected to Congress.
Johnston, the democratic candidate, has been
elected to Congress from Arkansas. Campbell,
whig, elected Governor of Tennessee.
I Ion. Jolm Cessna.
Hon. John Cessna, late Speaker of the I'cnna.
House of Representatives, will no doubt be the
Democratic candidato for Senator in tho district
composed of Somerset, Ecdford and Fulton.
Mr. Cessna well deserves the nomination, and
the chances arc that he will, if nominated, be
elected, there being two Whigs on the track.
We hope such may be the case, and in the event
of an election wo hesitate not to say that he
will make as useful and diligent a Senator as he
Ud a Representative. The people would ask no
more, satisfied that its fulfilment would increase
his already well-earned reputation.

v Penmanship.
Mr. D. M. Kerr, of Fittsburar, closed his wri
ting school on Thursday evening last. At an
election held by his scholars, a committee was
selected to examine their specimens of penman
ship, and determine, to whom the premium
should be awarded for the greatest improvement
in writing under his tuition. The committee
made the foUowing report:
"That they have carefully examined all the
specimens of writing presented for their in
spection, (numbering twenty-five,) and are
pleased to notice a marked improvement in the
handwriting of each and every scholar since
they have been under his charge, thereby fully
demonstrating the capacity of Mr. Kerr as a
competent teacher of penmanship, and exhibit
ing the laudable exertions made by;hL? pupils to
emulate him and become proficient in the art
of art3
"That the writer of specimen No. 20 is en
titled to the premium, (an American Eagle,
beautifully and skilfully drawn, on heavy pa
per, by their instructor,) and in awarding the
same, the committee has been actuated by the
mere desire to do justice, and would respectfully
say to those who have been unfortunately dis
appointed at not receiving the prize, that their
worthy efforts to secure it deserve the highest
praise."

The specimens were presented to the com
mittee, numbered, with the names of the writers
thereon, so that there could be no favorkisrn
shown. Mr. Kerr announced Mr. Timothy
Erophy, as the lucky gentleman. JMr. 13. kiadlv
expressed his acknowledgments for the hanor
conferred upon him, and moved a vote of thanks
to Mr. Kerr for the kindness and attention
shown to his scholars, to which there was not
a dissenting voice. In return Mr. Korr hvinfltr
"-'-"j
tated the pride he felt in being associated with
such a clever and gentlemanly school that he
had had a delightful visit to their mountain
homes that the remembrance of their kindness
should always occupy a place within Lis "heart
of hearts" and hoped that a long life of hap
piness and usefulness might be theirs. After a
number of humorous songs by Messrs. Kerr,
Cannon and Rhey, the scholars and visitors de
parted for home well pleased with the whole
affair.

Several ladies at Harrowgate, England, have
adopted the Bloomer Costume, and there is so
much truth in tho following article, taken from
tho Liverpool Times while alluding to the sub
ject, that its perusal may benefit many cf the
suuscnocrs of the "Sentinel." The Times
says :
la dress and in manners, mankind ai-o so
much the slaves of habit, that we are too often
induced to vote as absurd and ridiculous what
might appear, on a-closer investigation, to be
both rational and necessary. Tho modesty, so
much and so deservedly prized in the female
character, causes many absurd anomalies in the
habits of the sexes which press heavily on the
disposition and even on tho health of women.
A romping lad, who plays at cricket, and other
out-door exercises, inures the system to hardi
hood, and in developing the physical power
which make him a healthy and useful member
of society. With girls the case is otherwise.

Gov. Jolmston Still Xeglcctlngr His
Unties.
The "travelling Governor," says the Carlisle
Volunteer, is still neglecting the duties of his
office, which he was sworn to perform, and for
which he is paid $8 a day out cf the people's
Treasury. He is travelling from county to
county, and harangueing his fellow-citizens"
from the stump. For the first time in the his
tory of Pennsylvania we now behold the Execu
tive officer acting the'part of a political declai
mer, and, by cunning and misrepresentation,
attempting to deceive the people into his sup
port. Gov. Johnston, if he has no respect for
himself, should at least respect the high office
he holds, and return to his duties, for perform
ing which he is paid from the taxes of the peo
ple. But, his anxiety for office will prevent him
doing this. He will find his mistake, however,
and when he attempts to convince the people
that he is a faithful public officer, they will be
gin to inquire how it is that he can be faithful
to his trust, and yet be absent from his office
for three consecutive months at a time?
It is strange that Gov. Johnston should even
for a moment suppose that he can be re-elected.
He is, in our opinion, spending a great deal of
time, a great deal of the people's money, and
subjecting himself to considerable inconvenience
and all for nothing. He might as well attempt
to force the Susquehanna to run up stream, as to
try to turn the people from Col. Biglcr to him
self. He is not acquainted with the sentiments
of the masses, or he would soon sec how hope
less his chance of success is. The people of
Pennsylvania arc for the Constitution and the
Union, and will never, by their votes, elevate an
avowed abolitionist to the first office within
their gift Nor will it be forgotten that Gov.
Johnston, no longer ago than last winter, favored
the passage of a mammoth loan bill, introduced
into the Senate, and supported by the Feder
alists, by which ONE MILLION OF DOLLARS
was to be added to our State debt, by borrowing
from the banks that amount in the shape of ir
redeemable shinplasters, which would have de
voured the substance of the people for an in
definite period! Thanks to a Democratic House
of Representatives, this attempt to increase the
State debt, was promptly voted down.
That Col. Bigler will be elected Governor, and
that too by a sweeping majority, we regard as
entirely certain. No stratagems, no efforts to
blind the people, can prevent it. His majority
will be increased from the fact of Gov. Jchnston
neglecting his duties to attend to electioneering.
This is the way the people have of rebuking a
faithless public servant. Col. B.'s majority can
not be les3 than 12 or 15,000, and may reach
20,000. 'To doubt this at this time would be a
reflection upon the stex-ling sense and tru pa
triotism of the people of Pennsylvania.
Our Xew York Correspondence
New York, August 17, 1S-31.
FJ3IT0E OF THE MOUNTAIN SENTINEL :
Europe is dull so say the papers brought
by tho last steamer from England. A friend
writes me from Paris, that the rejection, by the
Assembly, of the scheme for the revision cf the
Constitution, is net the only blow which has be
fallen tho ambitious President of France. His
financial arrangements have never been of the
most satisfactory nature. Recently, a crisis in
the money market threatens to disturb the se
renity of his family circle ; the young English
Lady, who has for so many months been visiting
at tho Elysee having embarked in extensive
speculations at the Stock Exchange. One fine
morning, she found the market falling, herself
a loser, to the tune of $00,000, without a cent
wherewith to pay it. Consternation filled the
Presidential domicile, and the departure of the
fair defaulter for the laud of her birth was only
prevented by his excellency, Napoleon the Little,
submitting to an "excruciating shave."
A few days after, the Paris paper, La Siecle,
was seized for publishing the following para
graph, in an article entitled La Seance: "The
President is much embarrassed in his pecuniary
affairs, having to pay, at the Bours'e, debts
which are not his own."
La Siccle is charged with the offenco of "ex
citing the people to hatred and contempt of the
Government, and for the libellous publication of
false intelligence."
A great Theatrical Festival was hel l at Castle
Garden, in this city, on Tuesday last, in honor
of Mr. Marshall, the lessee of the Broadway
Theatre. The performances wcro in English,
French, German, and Italian, and lasted from
10 A. M. until 11 P. M. Comedy, Melodrama,
Farce, Opera, and tho Ballet, were each sup
ported by the first talent in the country. Talking
of tho Drama reminds me, that it is rumored,
in ceitain quarters, that Benedict's object in
going to Europe, is to engage a first-class ope
ratic company ; and that, on his return with
"his happy family," wo arc to have a scries of
operatic performances, with Jenny Lind, as the
Prima Donna; so that we mny expect to not
ou1 har the muiic cf La Sonuiauibul.t, La
Fille Ju Regiment, and Robert Lc DiaLIe, but
also to see the heroines of those pieces por
trayed by the Nightingale. However, as Mr.
Dick Swivcller remarked to "the Marchioness"
when she first tasted Loudon porter:' "moderate
your transports."
The harmony of the Whig party of this State,
and especially of this City, is sadly out of joint.
As the time draws near for hunting up some
available candidate for the next Presidency,
both factions of the Whigs see the necessity of
harmony. But they hate each other heartily;
and worse than all, the Seward men havc thc
most supreme contempt for the opinions, intel
lect, and general capacity of the Silver Grays.
This, quite naturally, engenders feelings adverse
to concord, on any measure that does not obvi
ously interest both sections of the party. Luck
ily, however, for the Whigs, there is one vital
point upon which the leading men of the party
have but one opinion. This point, which is the
only present real bond of -union between the
Whigs of this City, is their determination that
Daniel Webster shall not be the Presidential
nominee of the Whig National Convention.
Mr. Webster is trusted by neither section of
the Whig party. His intellect is admired by
both sections indeed, by the country but, his
moral organization is conceded, by his friends,
and even by his nearest relatives, to be far in
ferior to that of many a person whose head has
been shaved at the expense of the State. The
North cannot trust Mr. Webster, the South will
not, the West dares not, the East does not. His
head is looked upon, now, as a ponderous, com
plicated, but exquisitely built and finished ma
chine, owned by Daniel Webster, and to be hired
out by him, to the highest bidder, for the per
formance of any labor that may be required of
it, without any absurb scruples as to the right
and wrong of the service. He is thought and
known to treat great questions of State, and
politics generally, in precisely the same way
that, as a lawyer, he treats the case of a client
right or wrong, he docs his best to defend the
party view of it. That, however, merely con
stitutes him "a good Whig," as those partisans
are euphoniously designated who are devoid of
moral rectitude, but who, respecting the motto,
"honor among thieves," never sin against "the
Party."
Bat the great difficulty with Mr. Webster is
that he has no stability of character. He fails
to stick to the atrocities of " the Party," with
the usual tenacity of "a good Whig"; not that
he has any scruples, but that a better offer from
his opponents never fails to secure his services
against those whom he ha3 but recently de
fended. Having thus made the principal argu
ments on the one side, no one, of course, is
better fitted to expose their fallacy, and take the
leadership of an opposite party.
Mr. Webster's course on the Slavery question,
for the last ten years, is, of itself, a sufficient
illustration of the looseness of his moral organ
ization, as above described. I find that I have
made a mistake in the immediately preceding
sentence, which I beg you to correct. I said
"Mr. Webster's course on the Slavery question,"
I should have said his "courses on the Slavery
question," or better perhaps, his ''many courses
on the Slavery question. Yours truly,
FITZROY.
Col. Bigler before tlie People.
Our esteemed candidate for Governor, says
the Pennsylvania!!, has begun a new era in Demo
cratic politics in this State. His reception in
all quarters is most gratifying. Indeed in all
our numerous letters from our friends, there is
but one sentiment. His appearance, his man
ners, his style of oratory, and his calm and con
vincing arguments, all go to show his capacity,
his adaptation to popular speaking, his know
ledge of the people, and his deservings as a can
didate fur favor. He spoke twice in Columbia
county, on the 11th; in Wilkesbarrc, Luzerne
county, on the ISth; at Carbondale, same coun
ty, on the 14th; at Tunkhannock, Wyoming
county, on the 15th; at Towanda, Bradford
county, on the ICtli ; and will speak at Montrose,
Susquehanna county, on the 19th ; arriving
here in time for our Great Meeting of the 21st.
Li all his meetings he has been well and nobly
sustained by the first talent in the Democratic
part'. The eloquent Bonham spoke with him
at Bloonificld, Terry county ; the able and radi
cal Shriner and the energetic Hickok in Union
county; Senator Buckalew followed up his
speech in Columbia county, with characteristic
ability; while at Luzerne, Hon. George W.
Woodward, presided, and made a most states
manlike speech, and was followed by Col. II. B.
Wright, who powerfully supported Col. Bigler
in his positions. Judge Woodward is out lor
the campaign, and will speak in Union county
on the ICth of September. The fire is up ; the
old Democratic feeling is aroused, and a glorious
victory awaits U3. What is better than all,
moreover, is to know and to feel that Col. Big
ler has no changing platform. Ho talks the
same doctrine in all quarters, and with the same
boldness and frankness. One extract from the
mass of letters we have received, to show how
Col. Bigler "takes" with the people, will be
interesting. It is from a friend in Columbia
county :
Bloomsbi eg, Aug. 12, 1S51.
I have delayed answering you a day or two,
in order to write after the visit of Col. Bigler
among us. We had mectidgs on yesterday af
ternoon aud evening, at the Court House, at
which he spoke with a most salutary effect upon
the public mind. His visits at various points in
the State will repel none from his support, and
will attract thousands. He carries with him an
air of manliness and honesty which awaken con
fidence, and his speeches are characterized by
their solidity and earnestness. Tho introduc
tion by Johnston, in 1848, of the system of
stumping tho State, will re-act upon him power
fully in 1851, in the enhanced labor of the cam
paign and the additional bitterness of his defeat.
Col. Bigler will undoubted receive a vote be
yond our pariy strength in this county, and in
ether

The Silver Gxeya and Woolley Heads of V
York alias Fillmore and Seward Whigs
kissed and made friends, and are now work
together most lovingly in' order to retain iu
spoils. Scwardism is triumphant in the ffi

forth, have to play second fiddle to that t
of demagogues. How are the mighty ffl!
But,' after all, there is nothing wonderful is'
this. It is nothing more or less than tV'Liw
exemplified, and goes to prove tlit truth of
declaration said to have been made by Thai

We hope our Whig cotemporaries, bo

sage:
A high tarijf can never be permanent. It
cause dissatisfaction, and will be changtd. It
eludes competition, and thereby invites tLet
vestment of capital in manufactures to suci

of the bowels are particularly prevalent- a)
the tables of mortality show that these dise,
are even more common, this year, than usu;
We would caution all persons, therefore, to U
cautious in their diet. The eatingf unripe
fruit is a fertile Bource of diarrhoea and disea$i
of a similar type. It is equally unwise, i
time like this to eat to excess. Ycry few inij.
viduals, we are sorry to say, can resist tt
temptation of a favorite luxury, bo as to km
before having eaten too much; and thus edibla,
harmless in themselves, frequently become t
prolific source of disease, by being indulged j
to repletion. With caution in diet, there is
tie fear ; but otherwise the peril is, indeed, i
mincnt We say this not to alarm, but to pi
people on their guard. Late hours, undue ft-
tigue, or excesses of any kind, whether menu;
or physical, should also be avoided. Dm.
