Blair county, has been nominated for Asseinbly

We hare received Graham's Magazine for the

Marie Antoinette together with its usua quan

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.

"Wo had intondod publishing all the cases di

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

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.
