One of the greatest humbugs OF the day,
/. Mr.. Roback, who processes to be an
Astrologer, and to cure almost every thing
by magic and conjurat,on. In one of bis
late advertisements, he processes to cure
lying, and publishes certificate from a
Mrs. Abigail Morgan Of Philadelphia, who
states that her daughter Amanda was SO
sorely addicted 10 this vice, that she would
rather lie than tell the truth, and that in
four weeks time she was completely cured.
We should like to know the value of mo-
theirs certificate who would publish her
daughter as notorious liar to aid the de-
signs OF notorious charlatan. Yet in the
cities thousands are humbugged by such
arrant swindlers.

A majority Of the conferees having nomi-
mated James Gamble OF Lycoming, as the
democratic candidate for Congress, il now
becomes the duty Of the democracy of the

our fellow citizens, we would have prefer
red the selection of candidate from our
own county, but as this could not be effect

TO submit. Fortunately the choice has
ialien upon man of fine abilities, unexcep.
tionable in his character and conduct.
The question is therefore narrowed down

uamole or MIR. Armstrong the whig candi-
date They are both lawyers, and both
men OF character and standing. While
MT. Armstrong may have more experience
at the Bar, Mr.. Gamble, on the other hand,
has the advantage of more experience in
politics, and more general acquaintance
with our national affairs. He has several
