THE REPUBLICAN COUNTY CONVENTION.--
Pursuant te the call issued by the Chairman of
the Republican County Committee, J. G. Miles,
Esq., for a Convibeion to appoint delegates to
attend the Republican State Convention short•
ly to assemble in Harrisburg, to place in nom•'
illation's State Ticket, the delegates elected
from the several townships and boroughs of
Huntingdon County, met 'in the Court House
in this borough, at 2 o'clock, p. tu., of Thurs.
day the 12th inst. John Baker, Esq., of Mt.
Union, was elected President, and Abraham
Renner, Esq., of Petersburg Borough, Secrete.
ry of the Convention. After the meeting was
fully organized, the President stated the object
of the same 1 which was the appointing of del.
egates to represent the county ir. the thepubli•
can Convention shortly to convene in Harris•
burg, pursuant to the call issued by the Chair•
man of the State Committee.
'Abe Convention then proceeded to elect a
Representative delegate, when Gen. John C.
Watson, of Mill Creek, was unanimously cho
sen. The following resolutions appointing sen
atorial conferees, were then presented, and u
nanimously adopted
"Resolved, That Col. J. A. Doyle, Erk. H.
Miles, Esq., and Dr. M. Orlady, be appointed
Senatorial Conferees. to meet similar conferees
of Cambria and Blair counties, at Altoona, on
Saturday, March 21st, to appoint a Senatorial
Delegate to the Republican State Convention ;
and in case the other counties fail to elect such
conferees, then said conferees to meet and ap.
point said delegate in Huntingdon, on said day.
"Resolved, That should either of the above
named conferees be unable to attend, theyibare
empowered to appoint a substitute."
The following resolution was then presented,
and amid the'prolonged and hearty outbursts
of gratification, adopted w i th enthusiasm :
"Resolved, That our delegates to Harrisburg
be instructed to supporrlulin G. Miles, Esq.,
as our first choice tbr Supreme Judge."
After a brief discussion of the propriety of
a union with the other elements of the Opposi:
tion to the Sham Democracy, Dr. McCulloch,
presented the following resolution, winch was
agreed to without a dissenting voice :
"Resolved, That we are in favor of a union
of all the elements in opposition to the prose*
Locofoco candidates ; and that our delegates
to Harrisburg be instructed to go in for union ;
provided it can be forfned on honorable prinei•
pies."
There being no other business before the
Convention, on motion Adjourned.
We were pleased to see the men of sterling
worth and patriotism who composed this hotly,
manifest the deepest interest in the perpetua
tion and final success of the Republican prin.
eiples in our country. They were men ofprin
elide, integrity and unspotted honesty. Suo
men as meet together not to devise ways and
means to defraud the peoples nod advance their
own interests, but, to fully, -impartially, and
without reserve carry out the wishes and ad
vance the interests of their constituents. Such
men composed this Convdntlon. Thg great
Republican cause, whielt is simply the cause of
God and Humanity, can never be "crushed
out" so long as such patriotic, self-denying men
battle under its banners.
Amocg the delegates, we noticed Dr. M. Or
holy, of Walker tp., who heraofore acted with
sad was a prominent member of the so-eal'ed
Democratic party, of this county ; but with
thousands of his fellow•democrats, could not
give up his honest convictions of right ; and,
since the party he once adhered to has lowered
its standard to the despotic slave oligarchy, he
is throwing his influence on the side of freedom
and freedom's party.

Mr. Editors—The citizens of this township
were highly entertained a few evenings since,
by attending an exhibition given by the pupils
of School No. 1, of this district, under the au.
pervision of R. Milton Speer, Esq., of Cassville.
The house, although large, was nevertheless
filled to overflowing, at an early hour. At
o'clock the exercises began, witnessed by a very
large and intelligent audience. The scholars
in all numbered upwards of fifty, who all de.
livered their orations, declamations, essays and
the several pans allotted to them in a masterly
manner, truly surprising, and which reflects
great honor upon themselves .d much credit
upon their worthy eroceptor ; giving full evi
dence that his untiring energy, great comma
nicative powers and superior talents as a tea.
cher, cannot be too highly appreciated. The
exercises were closed by a very humorout dia.
Logue, composed Tor the pceasion by Mr. Speer,
which brought forth great applause from the
audience. Mr. Speer, in his usually eloquent
manner, then in behalf of his scholars, exp...
sed his thanks to the audience for their kind
attention, cte., and (lien bid an affectionate
farewell .to his pupils, many of whom were af
fected very much. His pupils, one and all
front the largest to the smallest, manifest a de
gree of attachment and regard for their teacher
which is too seldom seen in Common Schools,
Our young friend Speer has the best wishes
and warmest thanks of the parents and citi

Messrs. Editors—On the evening of the 4th
inst., I was respectfully invited to attend a
public exhibition, given by the scholars of the
Public school under the supervision of Mr. H.
White;% at Arch Springs, Tyrone township,
Blair County.
The exercises consisted of declamations, es•
says, dialogues, Ste., interspersed with vocal
music by the scholars. To say that they per.
formed their respective parts creditably, would
be but little praise ; but to say that they did
their duty in such a manner as to elicit solver.
sal praise and commendation, would be nothing
more than true, and speaks volumes in favor of
their teacher, who although laboring under se•
vero physical debility, bas shown forth what can
be accomplished by perseverance and resolute
will ; especially in this their first trial. Any
one who has had experience in this part of iu•
struction, knows the difficulties to he overcome
in training children for their first debut as pub.
lie speakers. Mr. White is truly a 'teacher for
the times,' having during the past winter, intro.
duced Outline Maps, regular classification,
and extended use of the..black beard,
When the other exercises were concluded, a
piece of music, arranged for the occasion, and
entitled "Parting Hand," was sung by the scho•
lays with guell pathos, as to make a marked
impression on the large and.attentive audience
present. SPECTATOR.

UAW medicines offered for sale are accom

sense.: As the discoverer of this Salt solemnly
protests against having it placed on the claw.
ry of frauds and impositions, he has resolved
that it shall go forth to the world like the pure

exerts like the vaccine ,smater, an extraordina,
ry influence over the circulation—resulting in
a gradual decline of inflammation as indicated
by the pulse which soon resumes its natural
state, as the pain and heat disappear. Such is
its potency, that like the virus just mentioned,
it requires merely what adheres to the point of

the author and editor of 170 volumes, of which
seven millions of copies have been sold ! and this

, A HISTORY OF ALL NATIONS.
From the earliest period to the present time,
the history Of every nation, ancient null mo
dern, being separately given. By S. G. Goo,
Rim author of several works of history, 'Peter
Parley's Tales,' &c.
It is believed that the above work will be ve
ry acceptable to the American public. It is the
result of years of toil and labor, assisted in his
researches by several scholars of known ability,
and has been got up at a great expense by the
proprietors. No pains have been spared iu the
excention of the Illustrations and Maps, which
are prepared expressly for this work. Indeed,
all the other historical writing of Mr. Goodrich,
Sink into insignificance, when compared to this,
the result of hissiper and maturcr years. It is
admitted that one hundred dollars could not
purchase the same matter in any other shape ,
and the publishers confidently expect, in consi
deration of the great literary value of the work,
the large sum expended in preparing it for the
press, and the exceedingly moderate price at
which it is offered, that it will he favorably re
ceived by every lover of good books. Many of
our first scholars, divines and gentlemen, who
have examined the work, have givon their un
qualified approbation and commendation, which
it richly deserves.
