We hare received Graham's Magazine for the month of September, containing a spirited engrav ing "Lafayette's interview with Louis XVI. and Marie Antoinette together with its usua quan tity useful and interesting matter. Ilnnttngdoa County. A union ticket has been formed in Huntingdon county, and John Scott, Esq., lias received the nomination for Assembly, and it is said, will be elected as much dissatisfaction exists in the Whig party in that county. Whig Meeting:. Last evening we attended the whig meeting at "the Court Ilouse, it being chiefly composed of de mocrats, m-hich gave it somewhat of a respectable appearance. The officers being all seated, Col. Heyer stated the object of the meeting, after which lie introduced Col. Edie of Somerset, the present nominee of this district for Congress, who took up the great hobby 'the Nebraska iniquity,7 and we must say that the most common country schoo! boy would have made a better effort. If Somer set has no better material than Col. Edie, they had better save the credit of their county by keeping him at home. CoU Magehan was next called upon to address the meeting, which he did in his usual hard style. His remarks were conGned principally to the recital of jokes and attempts at vulgar wit conjoined with his usual blasphemous expressions. Liis exertions to create a laugh were certainly successful, which may have satisfied his audience for any lack of argument upon the topics of the day. After ono or two other speeches the meeting adjourned. Bedford Conference. The conferees from Bedford, Fultcn and Cam bria met at Bedford on Tuesday last to setect can dictates to represent tins district in the next icsns- a lature. We loam that the proceedings were cha racterized by much harmony and good feeling, and that the Conferees unanimously placed in nomi nation Dr. Wm. A. Smith of this county, and Hon. Wm. J. Douglierty of Bedford, recommend ing them at the same time to the warm suppor of the Democracy of the district. This we have no doubt will be given, as the ticket is a good one. and satisfactory to the whole district, which If we but do our duty can easily be elected by triumphant majority. It is said that Bedford and Fulton will each poll a larger democratic vote this f.il than usual, and it now remains for the Demo cracy of little Cambria to t-how what she can do. The unanimity with winch all the conlerees re commended the ticket augurs well for its success, an wennderstand that no other names were brought Ix fore the conference. We will publish the offi cial proceedings next week. Tkc Court. "Wo had intondod publishing all the cases di posed of this week, but only some five or six cas s were handed in by a kind friend just as we were going to press which were of little or noim iwrtancc. We win endeavor to lay before our readers the ful proceedings next week. CONGRESSIONAL DEMOCRATIC CONFERS BIESTING. The Democratic Conferees from this Con gressional District will meet at Johnstown on Friday the 15th day of September inst., at 10 o'clock to place in ncminatic n a candidate to be supported by the democracy. We call the attention of the democrats of Huntingdon and Somerset to this question and expre; s the hope that they will attend to the maltor in time. Cambria as well as Ulair has elected her con ferees. Let us have a candidate, a true good democrat, and there are many such in the field. Know Hothingism no Novelty. Many young men are attracted into the Know Nothing movement on account of its supposed novelty, when, in fact, the question which it in volves are among the oldest connected with the "history of our government. At the time of the Revolution, jrsons of foreign birth constituted a large proportion of the inhabitants of the Colon ies, land foreigners took a prominent and influent ial part in the struggl-J which gained our inJe pendence. Their services, were not unappreciated by the American people, who declared that this country should forever be the asylum of tho op pressed of all nations; and as proof of their sincer ity, gave to foreigners the right of citizen ship after a residence of five j'ears. . This liberal policy was opposed by the Federal party tinder Mr. Ad ams, and during his administration the period of naturlization was extended to fourteen years. Mr. Jeficrson denounced this change, and upon his accession to the Presidency, the obnoxious alien and sedition laws of the Federalists were repealed. From that time the question has been frequently renewed; but the American people, for whose be nefit these prescriptive movements have j re-fesse I ly been made, have always settled it in conformity with the views of Jefferson, Patrick Henry and the Democrats of that jieriod, and they will so settle, despite all the clamor now raised, the pre cnt agitation on this subject. Toledo Republican. -tAs Astonishing Advent and Fear cl Prediction. A child was born in few days ago in" Pittsburg, with a full set of teeth and a stiff, heavy beard. It immedia tely commenced a conversation with the asto- i nished bystanders, telling them that the season had beea an unusually dry one, but nothing in comparison to the drought with which they would be visited next year, and that the year following a fearful famine would devastate the country It then order ed a barber - and a dentist, had its beard taken off, and a tooth plugged, and bidding them all an affectionate farewell, d-i-e d.
