one de) in advance in or der to be
able to attend the People's County Con
vention. This we consider in some re.
epects, the most important political meet•
ing that has assembled in our connty for
many years. On the action of this Con
vention depends the supremacy of political
parties in the county. If honestly conduc.

nominated, it will unite the Opposition pa.
pers.and voters, and ensure easy triumph
over Lucofocoism for years to come. But
if the wishes of the people are again dis-
regarded by putting offensive men in nom.
inatioc, division, distraction and defeat
must be the consequence. We know this
to be the dire alternative presented to the
convention. Patriots, inns who prefer the
interests of the country to aggrandizement
of corrupt, worn out politicians, will not
hesitate, but spenu out and act as becomes
true citizens. If through the re-vamped
intrigues of former years. aided by Loco

LETTER FROM TITE PRESIDENT.
The New Albany Tribune publishes
the following letter, which it says was
written by the President to Win. 11. Eng
lish, was received a few days prior •to the
Congressional Convention in his District,
and was used by biro to facilitate his nom
ination :
WASHINGTON, July 25,1858,
lion. Wm. 11. English—
Dear Sir :—A ware that the Convention
for nominating a Democratic candidate for
Congress in your District will convene in
a few days, I cannot refrain from express
ing the hope that you may be the unani
mous nominee of the Convention. If I
lived in your District and had a thousand
votes, you should have theta all. Occu•
pying the position you do, [ consider it es
sential that you should succeed in obtain
ing the nomination. A failure in this
would be regarded by me as a rebuke of
my administration. There may be some
aspirant or aspirants for the position in the
way, If so, you may sty to them that
by giving you a. cleat track they will gain
my favor end may expect to be provided
for in a suitable manner. If nominated, I
will throw as much assistance into your
district as you may desire.
Our friend Hughes, I see, has a hard
row to hoe. Fie will be liberally sustain
ed. Of this you may rest assured.
Your friend,
'JAMES BUCHANAN
Rarey's System of Horse-Taming,
We publish, to-day, a full and complete
statement of the secret of Horse-taming,
as practiced by John S. Ilurey, who has
won for himself an enviable reputation,
both in Europe and America, by the remar
kable success which has attended his ex
periments, Indeed there is not a single
instance in which he has tailed.
There cannot be the slightest doubt en
tertained as to the authenticity of the
statement, as it was made public directly
through Mr. Ratty lninself ; in addition to
which, the system recommends itself, be
ing so simple and practicable that every
man who has the remotest knowledge of
the nature of the horse, will perceive at
once the utility of the method.
We ull. know that any domestic animal
can be rendend entirely tractable by kind
ly teaching him to appreciate that we are
his superiors. If an animal is once made
aware that he is in your power, cummand
him and he will obey you.
The horse is at once the most useful and
the most sagacious of domestic animals.—
lie is sensitive to harsh treatment, and he
will also remember kindness. ,Unfortu•
nately, those who have the care and super
vision of the%horse rarely ever appreciate
his disposition. Were the contrary true,
it would not be necessary to apply the me
thod of any Mr. Itarey , but horses have
been spoiled by harsh nod angry treat
ment, and it requires the application of
such a remedy as Mr. Rarey has furnished
us, to inspire them with that confidence
which alone will develope the full measure
of their usefulness,
A PROLIFIC ANIMAL,—Jumes fright, of
Portstown, has a cow, which, in two years
and one week, has brought forth seven
calves. At each of the two first births she
brought forth two calves, sad the other
day astonished her owner by the produc
tion of three fine-looking, healthy calves.—
Wonders will never cease.
Our "borough fathers" deserve a
good measure of credit tor the spirit of
improvement they have manifested in buil
ding good. substantial cross-walks at all the
principal comers. Our "devil" stye he k
'durned sorry they've gone and done it,
kase why, ho can't enjoy his peeps at the
ladies' llaely -tapered ankles, as he aveu,
"he used for till do." What a pity !
The people, indignant at the persistent
determination evinced by the South, to
throw upon them the cursed yoke of sla•
very, have arisen in their might, and pro
claimed in one united voice of thunder,
that they will be free.
Thus wicked error may triumph for a
time, hilt truth, in its own good time will
arise and assert its soveretgntv,•-•hurling
its frowning ndversnry to the ground and
scattering the 1)1211 places of its power to
