THE subscribers have commenced the
publicatlon'of a New Weekly Paper for
families, with the above title, under the en-
tire control of TS. Arthur, who will con
centrate upon it all, or nearly all, of his lit
erary labors. The design of this paper is
clearly expressed ia the title--"Home Ga
zette.'! It will be, emphatically paper
forthe home circlc--a household compan-
iona pleasant freside friend, coming to
all with cheerful countenance, and seek
ing, while it imparts instruction, to enter
tain and interest all classes of readers A
leading feature ofthc ''Home Gazette" will
be a series Of Original Nouvelettes by the
Editor who will furnish some four or five
pic lures of domestic life, written in his best
style, for every volume. The "Home Ga
zette" viii be the organ of no party nor
sect; nor Wilt be the exponent of any of
the istcs of the day. But it will faithfully
advocate tho right, and seek, by every
means, to widen the circle of human hap
piness. Honestly will the editor teach the
truth, as he has ever done in his writings,
for the sake Of good to his fellow men. But
in doing this, he will avoid unnecessary
harshness and causeless offence, and keep
his journal free from stain of wounding per-
sonality. He will oppose what is false
and evil, as one of his social duties: but
while doing SO, will use,no sharper language
than its .rebuke and correction may require.
The "IIotne Gazette" will be elegantly
printed, on fine white paper, with large
clear faced type, that may be read by
young ard old without injury to the eyes.

The Candidates of the Democracy.

We to-day raise the Democratic flag for
the contest this fall, a1d we do SO with a
hearty good will.
VIM. T. MoRRIsoN Of Montgomery county
is leader worthy Of our cause, and of whom
every honest Democrat may be proud. He
is iarmer-a gentleman of high intelligence,
and of ireproachable character. He last
year represented Montgomery county in the
state Legislature, and his votes there were
sound and purely Democratic. The utmost
unnnimiiy prevailed among the delegates at
Williamsport when Mr. Morrison was nom
mated, and as he was the first choice oi
Columbia county, the Star of the North will
roll up for him good old fashioned Demo
cratic majority With such leaders as Mr..
Morrison, Democracy is bound to triumph.
EyHRAIM BANKS of Miflin county has &C.
cupied high and responsible positions and
done honor to each of them. He was a
member Of the reform Convention, and was
designed by Governor Skunk as the success
sor of Judge Woo dward, when that gentle
man was nominated by Mr.. Polk to Judg.
ship in the United States Supreme court In
the Reform Convention he was true 10 the
cause of progress, and in the State Legislature
was Democra, of purity and intelligence.
The office of Auditor General is an impor-
tant one, and in Mr.. Banks the people will
find man true 10 their interests, and by
whom the accounts Of the State will be safe.
~ attended.to.

was at an early age elected 10 the Legislature,
and subsequently, 20 the State Seneaie, where
his term has just expired. Heis man OF
intelligence and energy, and fully compe-

The star of the north. [volume] (Bloomsburg, Pa.) 1849-1866, 1850-06-06
Let the people see to this!

Tho exposure Of Ranken s. Ovenshine at
Williamspor, will open the eyes OF the peo-
pie to frauds that have been practised under
the garb Of Democratic professions. Every
year the plunderers league 10 gether TO sa-
vance some man under whom they shall
be enabled TO fatien from the public treasury.
One of these abiect creaturesis an editor
who puffs his Magnus Appollo week after
week. Another is supervisor of some pub
lie work, and he must carry his county or
lose his bread and butter. Another has per-
haps no influence, bu he has money, and
falls TO buying delegates al 500 per head.
Some of these sycophants have perhaps al.
ready held office, and this sharpens their ap-
petite for new suck at the public teat.
They stand licking their dry jaws, eagerly
waiting till fate shall elect their man. Some
of them sound his praises on the highways,
on the pavements, and in the public bar
rooms. TIE "Buggtown Ramshorn" puffs
him every week, and puts up his name in
letters six inches long. These are the plum
derers.
The Convention meets, and they swarm
around the delegates like the frogs and lice
of old Egypt Their pestiferous breath ass
ails you every where. They are clever and
spend money freely. What care they for a
800? They can easy make that up, if a
man is elected whom they can control
Now, TO come to the point, we do not
mean 10 say that Mr.. Hubley was privy to
the bribery attempted at Williamsport. We
believe him far above that, and feel conf
dent that he knew nothing of it. But he is
an amiable, "clever" man, whose only fault
is that he has not yet lsarned TO say "no" Of
ten enough. The Rankens the Ovenshines,
and that race of creatures felt that if he was
