KEIM, People's County Convention. Ton members of the People's Party of the County of Huntingdon, are requested to meet in the several townships, boroughs, and separate election districts, (in the townships at 4 and bor oughs at 7i o'clock, P. M.) at the usual places of holding delegate meetings, on Saturday, 6th day of August next, to elect two persons (in each township and borough) to serve as delegates to the People's County Convention, to be held in the borough of Huntingdon, on TUESDAY, the 9th day of August next, at 2 o'clock, P.M., for the purpose of nominating a county ticket and doing such other business as the intereat of the party may require. BENJ. F. PATTON, Chairman. July 13th, 1859. Duty of American Republicans. The brilliant victory which was accomplished last fall by the united Opposition, over the co• hods of Black Democracy, has, in a measure, caused a calm in our ranks, as a natural con sequence; but we should remember there is a danger that this apathy may continue, and probably lead to n defeat in subsequent cam paigns. The coming campaign which is about to open, will no doubt be conducted with spirit and attended with intense excitement. The late elections have taught us that the Opposi tion party is the majority party in Pennsylva* nia—and nation—and that we can carry the State at any time, if we use such politic meas ures as will secure the harmony of those op posed to "progressive" locofocoism. If this is doubted or denied, we point to the vote of last fall, when the locofoco party—notwithstanding the fact that Government influence and Gov ernment money were freely used to insure a victory for the Buchananites—were beaten by tens of thousands. This, however, should but stimulate to still greater action. We have art ful and dexterous enemies to contend against —partisans who depend upon intrigue, decep tion and fraud for success; and who have more than once effected their purposes by these very means. It is as impossible for the "Ethiopia n to change his skin or the leopard his spots" as for Buchanan locofocoism to conduct a cam paign honestly and fairly . An endeavor has al ready been made by the wily political jackals the coming County Convention. In view of this fact, it is all-important that the greatest caution and wakeful vigilance should be exer cised in the selection of delegates. We have already accomplished much good to the coon. try by a united effort, but in order to retain our advantages over our insolent and unprincipled opponents, we must not only continue active and vigilent, but in the selection of our candi dates, sea that none but tried and true men are brought forward, and when such are nomina ted, do all we can to secure their election. The nomination of one bad man, does more towards destroying a party than twenty de feats with good candidates. It is the bane of every political system; and never, whilst we wake pretensions towards common honesty, will we be a party to any deception of this character which may be practised upon the people. The Late War News. By the arrival of the steamship Weser we are put in possession of two days later intelli gence from Europe. The news from the seat of war is of moment, mainly as confirmatory of what was previously known or generally inferred. The Austrians had fallen back to Verona, and Garibaldi was endeavoring to get the command of Lake Garda, in order to iso• late that fortress from the Tyrol. We are en abled to lay before our readers the French offi cial report of the Battle of Solferino. The news from Germany is highly important.— Field-Marshal Prince Windischgratx was ex pected at. Berlin from Vienna on a special mis sion. The Federal Diet had unanimously acceded to a proposition from Prussia to place a corps of observation on the Upper Rhine, and an extraordinary Diet had been convoked for the 14th inst. to raise money for war pur poses. This does not look much like " localis ing " the war. Kossuth had been received with great enthusiasm in Italy. Appointment by the Governor. The morning papers announce the appoint. ment by the Governor, of James Gamble, to the Judicial District made vacant by the death of Judge Burnside. We are very much surprised at this appoint ment, and have no hesitation iu saying that of allthe names before the Governor tor the place this is the worst selection that could have been made. He is unfitted for the place iu every respect—by nature, by attainments or by ex perience. And we venture to say that the peo ple in the district will rebulse the appointment by its overwhelming rejection in October. Rufus Choate. A. telegraphic dispatch from Halifax announ ces the demise, at that place, of one of those brilliant orators whose fame has shed so much lustre on the current history of Massachu sett. Rufus Choate died there on Tuesday. He had long occupied no large a space in the ay. of the public, that hie death will excite more attention than any of recent date. A Word to Naturalized Citizens and Honest Democrats. Who don not well remember the terrible outcry which the Black Democracy raised against our party during the last Presidential contest, in reference tom naturalized citizens, and who has not heard it repeated since the passage of the Massachusetts Amendment? Who would have believed that this tune could be so easily changed, when the leaders of that party saw something could be made of it? For our part, we never believed in the sympathy of Loccifocos --and Gen. Cass' recent letter proves beyond all cavil that theirprofessions of friendship towards the foreigner, are hollow and heartless. The loan or men who could deceive their own fellow citizens, and barter away the dearest interests of Pennsylvania, care no more about the interests of adopted citizens, than they do of the man in the moon. It was a fundamental principle of Locofocoism in the last Presidential campaign to avow deep love for the foreigner. This was artfully enlarged on in the speeches of Locofoco brawlers and endorsed and enforced in newspaper paragraphs. All this was to catch the votes of naturalized foreigners. This numerous class of voters were induCed to believe that the Republicans and Americans were alike opposed to them, and that the Locofocos alone were their friends.-- How hypocritical have they proved all these professions I They succeeded in getting the votes of foreigners—and now they are eagee to combine and make common cause with oth er and despoiled governments, to oppress them. Let the foreigners treasure ills Ipintheir mem ories, and reward the locrAcos as they deserve. Never again believe o locofoco when ho asks for your vote, An Extraordinary Flour Contract. A correspondent of the Missouri Dsnsoma , writing from Camp Floyd, Utah Territory, charges that a groat swindle is being perpetra ted under a contract of flour for the United States Army. The contractors are John Hol liday and Col. Martin, who received $2B GO, per 1.00 pounds. The annual consumption is about 2,000,000 which would make the amount of the contract $ 51'2,000. Taking into consideration the fact that 51r. William Martin and E. P. Staunton offered to furnish the supply for $lO per 100 pounds, and that Mr, J. C. Little agreed to take the same contract for $7 50 per 100 pounds it seems strange that Messrs. Holliday 8c Marlin have been awarded this contract at $5B 60 per 100 pounds. The flour furnished is menu• factored in the territory, is of poor quality, and is bought by contractors fur $5 to $8 per 100 pounds. At the latter rate they are nt an outlay of $160,000 in fulfilling the contract leaving them a snug little balance of four hundred and twelve thousand dollars. The writer alleges that there are probably four partners in this contract. Mr. John Holliday, Major Martin, Wm. Russell, (firm of Russell, Major 5 Waddle,) and Secretary Floyd. They will retain one hundred thousand dollars each, and be at no trouble or risk. Who Shall be Our Next Governor/ Although it may be considered premature at the present time to note any preference for a mw an election for uovernor - before ISO— yet it is a privilege which many of our cotem. poraries have been exercising, and which we see no reason to deny ourselves. In casting our eye along the rank of talented Statesmen already named for that responsible office, it rests upon Hon. John Covode, of Westmore land county, as the one most surely able to secure the success of our principles by a tri umphant election. In thus proclaiming our preference for Mr. Covode, we are actuated by no other motive than as ardent and sincere desire for success. He is a man of unbending integrity and untarnished honor; possessing in au eminent degree all the essential q ualifications necessary for a proper discharge of the duties of that or any other office in the gift of the American people. As a Pennsylvanian, he is and always has been a firm and consistent friend of protection to American industry; op posing with a manly vigor the policy which protects foreign in preference to home labor; he is opposed—as his noble sentiments in our Congressional Halle fully attest—to the exten sion of human bondage into territory now free, and in favor of the restriction and abolishment of this muse, by every constitutional means. He is, itt short, the man for the times. Pos sessing as he does the elements of a popular lender—the eloquence and pleasing manners, which mark him as a pouched gentleman— and fitted by his talents and experience to fill the Executive chair with honor to his party and himself—hie name would be a tower of strength and the presageof certain victory. With Gen. Simon Cameron as our candidate for the Pres idency and Hon. John Covode for Governor, the success of the opponents of the present system of corruption practiced in Washington, would be placed beyond a peradventure. So we think, so we say, and so we hope will be the result. The Black Democracy. Or. the outside of this issue will be found an editorial relative to the address of the State Committee of the Black Democracy of Penn sylvania, signed by Bob Tyler—son of John of blessed memory l—as chairman. It bears throughout as the Herald remarks, the evi deuces of a constitutional political pleader of She Old Virginia School. On the great sub. ject of. Squatter sovereignty the committee contend substantially that should the necessi• ty arise it will become the duty of Congress to interpose against the 0 unfriendly legislation " of the local authorities of a Territory on the subject of slavery so that the rights of slave holders may be duly protected. Thus, while the regular democracy of Pennsylvania occu py the platform of Govenor Wise, the Hickman• Forney bolters stick to the platform of Mr. Douglas. And thus we suppose they will g o into their October election. And thus, right and left the democracy, upon their negro ab stractions, are torn to pieces. Who could have dreamed of such terrible disasters from that " popular sovereignty" experiment of Messrs Douglas and Pierce: the Kaneas•Nebraska bill? Impeachment of Gov. Packer. It is a fact well known that the administra• tion of this State has been at open war with the Buchanan Administration since the inau• guration of Gov. Packer. Packer fell from grace, as understood and expounded by King James, on the Lecompton issue, giving mortal offence unto the said James. In 1858, it will be remembered, a bill was passed by the Legislature and signed by Gov. Packet, authorizing the sale of the remainder of the public works to the Sunbury & Erie Railroad, providing for a re-sale of the same by the said road, to a third party. The basis of I the charges brought by Buchanan & Co., is alleged malpractice by the Governor in con summating the sale, etc. The editor of the Harrisburg Patriot and Union, a devoted enemy of Packer's is print ing a series of articles charging fraud and cor ruption upon the Legislature of 1858, in pas sing that bill. Also charging Packer with the same sin. These charges assume a grave air when it is announced that they form a part of a deliberate, well digested plan, which looks to the impeachment of the first magistrate of this Commonwealth "for high crimes and misde meanors in office." There is no doubt that many of the leaditig Buchanan Democrats— those who 11 , 411 the wires and manage the affairs of that portion of the Democracy which ad tera to the National Administration, are now engaged most seriously in discussing the mans by which to bring about an impeachment. This ides, in all probability, had its origin in the President himself. Judge Black is to be the chief agent in prosecuting it to completion. The attempt to impeach will be made beyond question, if there is any probability of succeed ing in getting the House to prefer charges to the Senate. The Oberlin Prisoners Freed. " All our readers must be familiar with the ex. citing trial of the Oberlin rescuers, and of the menaced serious conflict between the State, .d United States Courts. We now learn that the governmental attempt to enforce on the Western Reserve the Fugitive Slave law has resulted in a most disastrous defeat. The goy erment has entered a"noli coneendre," in the Obetliu cases, and the "rescuers"who have been so long imprisoned, have at last been freed. Just as they were leaving the Cleveland jails for their homes, they presented, with ap• propriated speeches, a beautiful Silver Napkin Ring, Fork and Spoon, engraved with the ini tials of her husband's name, to each of the wives of the lawyers who defended them. A fervent prayer by Prof. Peck then closed the scene, and, accompanied by musks and brass cannon, they made a triumphant march through the city.

DAVID TAGGART, President of the Convention, DANIEL AND TEREBA.-It will gratify the lovers of pure morals, and the admirers of vindicated laws, to learn that that most excel. lent man, the Hon. Daniel E. Sickles, and that very pure.minded lady, Mrs. Teresa 13 agi. oli Sickles, have settled the little domestic dif ficulty that for a time interrupted the course of their connubial felicity. It was a little actor. tunate that this difficulty should have led to the killing of a man, and the distraction of a wo man's reputation. But the great wrong com plained of, when their separation took place, was that Mr. Sickle's honor was destroyed and that hencetitrth there was no peace or happiness for him in this world. The intelli gence that he is reconciled to his Teresashows that the honor is all right again, and, as for peace and happiness, they will be the most de voted and happy couple known in history. The Now York Evening Post has an edits. rial on tie subject, as follows: Several of the morning papers have shout. taneously announced a fact, which has been known for some time in this city, namely, that the hero and heroineof " the domestic tragedy" at Washington had concluded to forget the lit tle affairs of the house in Fifteenth street, the extorted confession, the murder of Key, the va rious incidents of the notorious trial, and live together again as though nothing had occur red. But there is one small discrepancy in the accounts of the loather, and that relates to the manner in which the happy event is received by Mr. Sickles' friends. The T•ibune said: "We are assured that in taking this remur• able step, Mr. Sickles has alienated himself, from most if not all of those per onal an/ po• Wield friends who devotedly adhered to him during his recent imprisonment and trial. But the Tribune is not very good authority in such canes, and the public generally give credit to the counter statement of the old, more familiar with topics of this sort, which said : "Both parties have agreed to this step, and it is said their love is greater than ever. There is immense rejoicing among their friends, who have writtcn letters of warm congratulation." GODEY .

THE !BATTLE OF SOLFERINO. At Paris it is believed in some quarters that the French Into at the battle of Solferino amounted to from 16,000 to 18,000, as follows: Gen. Neil's corps 6,000 to 7,000; D'Hilliers nearly 5,000 ; McMahone 2,500; Conroberts 1 000 ; besides casualities in the artillery and special corps. The French people are said to be dissatisfied with the scantiness of the details as yet published in the Monitsur. The Petrie says that Napoleon had an epaulette shot away. Gee.. Dieu is reported among the dead. The Austrians had seven or eight Generals and very many of their superior officers wounded. Gen. Greschke was killed. Some of the French in fantry regiments Isere nearly cut to pieces.— The Piedmontese suffered so severely as to be incapable of forming in the line of battle. The Vienna correspondent of the London Times, writing on the 28th, says that some days must elapse before complete returns of the loss. es of the Austrians can be received. The same writer says that the Italian regiments in the Austrian army have become very difficult to manage ; the men desert by scores and fifties. In the neighborhood of Trieste a whole battal ion had raised the cry in favor of Victor Eman uel. A vessel on the coast, under the American flag hart been detected in the act of receiving the deserters on board after dark. The correspondent of the London Herald says so little did the French expect a battle, that on the previous night a message from the King asking for supports in case ho should be attacked was met with a refusal on the ground that an attack by the Austrians was not prob able at day break. However, the corps of Mar shut D'Hilliers came in sight of &Merino and was immediately set upon by a large Austrian force, which rushed down the hill and fought with the greatest fury. The Marshal resisted the attack to the best of his power, and sent off his aid de camp for supports, but it was not be• fore three hours of•frightful courage had elapsed that the corps of Gen. Neit made its appear. acre. The Austrians were slowly driven back and every now and then there was a pause, and the French continued to gain ground. Heaps of their own and the enemies corpses marking the fluctuations of the fight. The Austrians were thus slowly driven out of Solferino but all of a sudden they made a tremendous burst forward and the French were driven down the hill. Being admirably suppor ted by their artillery, however, they made a stand and commenced once more to advance. It was like a hail starts of bullets and balls, and whole files were mowed clown by a single dis charge. In the meantime at the right and left wing the Austrians were getting decidedly the best of it. The Piedmuntese were being slow ly driven back. Gen. Cattrobert's corps was also heavily punished, and had there been a skillful general in the Austrian army to collect and concentrate their forces against the weak point of the enemy's line, matters would have had a very diffsrent aspect. The French commander, to whom the credit of the day is entirely doe, whether it be Niel, McMahon, or thn Emperor himself, sent forward the Imperial Guard and a strong division of the infantry of the line against the Austrian centre,. and succeeded in breaking it. Instead of bringing up their forces to reps' this formidable attack, the supporters were sent to the left and right wings, which did not need them. Dosser ate attempts were made to re capture Solferi• no, but the French strongly held it, and the bit. glee begun to sound a general retreat. An at tempt teas made by the cavalry to pursuelthem, which led to an encounter between the French (Masseurs and the Austrian Batons, h. in which the former were rapidly put to the, right about. I It is stated that not a single Hungarian regi ment was allowed to take part in the hurtle, and that the IGilio.. • girsets,ligeiUm: t oot to Manikin' thus describes it At five o'clock in the morning, the French corps under :Marshal D'Hilliers began the em gagement before Solferino. The heights and village wore occupied after a sanguinary corn bat. During this time the second corps crar wee, Marshal McMahon's, which was on the right of the first corps in the plain, extended itself to the right to join the column of Mar shal Neil, which was meeting upon Medole. The Emperor had taken command of the whole army. His Majesty caused, the infantry and artirery or the Guard to advance and place themselves between the first and second corps and carry San Cassiano. Then in order to re inforce the right of McMahou's command, which was a little exposed in consequence of the distance which separated them .d the troops of Gets Neil, his Majesty sent all the cavalry of the Guard and two divisions dem , airy of the first and third corps up. Canrobert hod been charged to watch the movements of the Austrians expected on the side of Mantua. I);:eing the whole lay they fought, advanc iiiplowly bets always in good order, the corns joining up towards each other. The first corps after taking possession of So:forint), seized one position after smother in Pozzidoego. Night alone stopped their career. The Guard seized San Cas-iano and Cavriana without losingtime. The last village was carried with great spirit under the eyes of the Emperor, whr., himself, directed the fire of the artillery. The fourth corps, under Gen. Neil, advanced step by step, always gaining ground. There was a time when to cover their retreat the Austrians made a desperate effort to place themselves between the fourth and second Corps, a fierce struggle occat red. The infantry and artillery took part in the conflict and the cavalry, by several charges, decided the success of the * day. This was the last act of the battle. The Austrians began to retreat along the whole line. This retreat was favored by a dreadful storm which lasted for more than an hour.— The thunder hail and wind produced such an sheet that nothi g could be distinguished on the field of battle. When the weather had improved, the enemy had disappeared and the direction they took was perceived when their columns had attained some distance.
