A Large Family.

We had the pleasure Of being pres
cnt on Monday last, at family gather
ing in the town Of Guilford, which ex-
ceeded all that we have ever seen,
even at a New England Thanksgiving.
The patriarch of this numerous race
was Mr.. James Davis, a soldier Of the
Revolution, now IS years old. His
wife, who is past eighty, retains the vi
vacity and checrfulness of middle age,
and on this occasion moved among her
descendants with the sprightliness of
her grand children. There were pres
ent al the tea table, seven children, sew
EN- children-in-law, thirty grandchildren
ten OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES, and eleven
great grand-children-in all sixty five.
But this is by no means the whole
family. One son-in-law, eight grand
children, seven grand-ehildren--in-law
and eighteen great grand-children--thir-
ty-four persons-were absent, making
ninety-nine living members Of the family.
Besides these thirteen have died-mak-
ing the whole number on the family re-
cord one hundred and twelve. Ofthcse,
eighty five were the direct descendants
of one pair. But the honorable fact in
this patriarchal household remains to be
recorded. There is not an old maid nor
a bachelor among them! Not only is
every child married but every grand-child
who has reached the age of twenty-six
years. Is there anything in Kentucky
that beats this !--.Nfp Haren Jour.

Whose empire o'ershadows Atlantic's wide

And opens to sunset its gateway OF gold
The land of the mountain, the land of the lake,
And rivers that roll in magnificent tide
Where the souls Of the mighty from slumber

And halow the soil for whose freedom they
died!
Thou Cradle OF Empirel though wide be the

That sewers the land Of my fathers and thee.

For Song hasa home in the hearts Of the Free
And long as thy waters shall CLEAN in the sun
And long as thy heroes remember their scars
Be the hands Of thy children united as one,
And Peace shed her light on thy Banner O.

HOW II WAS DONE.

TIE following extract from a Harrisburg
letter TO the Bradford Reporter explains how
the Montour county bill was passed. The
letter was written before the passage of the
bill, but the writer plainly saw the force of
The circumstances which put it through. He
says: -
Valentine Best, Esq, Speaker of the Sem
ate, stands between the Democratic and
Wing parties, and absolutely holds the bal
anoe of power; whichever way he casts his
vote, on strict party question the preponder-
ance Is given, and ofcourse party triumph
OF course it will be easily seen and under
stood that his vote will be sought after, and
almost all kinds Of caresses and appliances
used by members of either party who are
desirous of accomplishing some particular
project through the apportionment bill. There
are such members Of both parties. Mr..
Best, you may be sure is cunning enough 10
see and know the value of his ote, and as
he holds the controlling vote over the big
bills of the session, he is determined TO force
Senators and members TO vote for his Mon
tour County, aye and pass it too before he
will permit action TO be taken on the other
bills. So between the two houses they are
playing shy, and practising in skillful egis-
lative tactics, TO see which can out maneu-
vre the other. Tho house trying to stave off
Montour and pass the other bills, and Best,
(who is the Senate,) determined 10 force
Montour down their necks before he will
touch any thing else. In this way they have
passed and rejected Mon,our-passed and re.
lected an apporiionmeut bill two or three
times, and present appearances indicate, that
they are now only in the middle of the fight.
Still all these matters may be brought to a
close and business closed in few days.

The next Goveruor.

The suggestion of our correspondent lately
That Col.saEAH FRAZER, of Lancaster sbould
be the next Democratic candidate for Cover.
nor, seems to meet with general favor from
.he press The North Pennsylvanian, in speak
ing oft, says:
I'VE have known REAH FRAZER from the
earliest recollection of our boyhood, and can
bear testimony TO his character as a man and
a democrat For twenty-five years he has
been battling i'll the cause of Democracy
win unceasing ardor, in district where a
powerful opposition is waged against the Re.
publican party. He has ever been consistent
In his political character and no man can noint
to his public course, and say that he has
once proved derelict in his duty 10 his prin
ciple. So far as we are concerned, (and we
are proud 10 make the assertion), we should
hail his nomination with both political and
personal qualification. Col. F., has never So.
iicited office; and is now one of those rare
exceptions who has batiled for a principle
Without seeking personal aggrandisement."

The State Convention.

In less than four weeks, the Williamsport
Convention will be called upon to nominate
a Canal Commiss oner an Auditor Genera,
and Surveyor General. Let these nomina.
tions be of sound, reliable men-not such as
have hands polluted with political plunder,
.concience scared by habitual corruption,
or a reputation tarnished by shameful
league with state-robbers Let the men be
of pure character, of firm mind, and Of re.
liable political standing.
That class of men who live by robbing tho
State, will no doubt league together to Sc
cure the nominations for one Of their minions,
that he may minister TO their villiany, and
pamper their greedy lust for "spols." Too
many of these have too long, already, fatten-
ed upon the hard-earned fruits of honest toll,
and it is high time, that the people began to
protect themselves against the avaricious
plunderers.
Let men, who are above suspicion, be
nominated for office, and let US hear 10 more
of this whining cry, that Mr. So and-so is too
honest to be an available candidate-that he
"can't be elected" That Cameronian class of
old offenders alone talk SO, whose malice
alone makes them Democrats only 10 "rule
or ruin" They are only Democrats when a
favori,e of theirs is on the ticket, and at other
times vote with the Wings. 1t does not hurt
their political concience, 10 defeat a regulart
Democratic nomination, when the nominee
is an honest man. And then they shameless.
ly boast that their regard is alone for an quaii-
able candidate. They say, If the Democratic
nominee suits our friends, we will vote for
him, but otherwise not. And then the min
ions of the plunderers truckle to their base
ness and agree 10 sacrifice principle to expe-
diency. These men of plund r never work
for Democratic principles, but for men alone
Fhey are actuated byxhe-Hseiise Ast-made
the Wings prefer Gen. HARRISON and General
Taylor, TO statesman lks Clay. Politics, is
a game with them, and their motto is that
call is fair in politics."
We regard these men as stumbling blocks
in the path of honest Democrats. They are
a reproach and disgrace in the ranks of an
honest party; and let the Williamsport Con-
vention tell them that they must either be
honest Democrats, or else go to the Wings
where they belong.
Let there be no bargain and sale with these
men. Let there be no trading with them +,
for this were demeaning honest men, TO a
level with the plunderers.

The Schuylkill BANK.

No less than three charters for new banks
passed the Senate, of this State in one day
last week-passed, too, by Democratic votes
The most recent movement, however, is TO
revive the charter ofthe Seh,tyltW Bank-that
great gambling shop, by the failure ofwhich
SO many nestpeopie were ruined few
years ago. We see, with assenishment, that
this bill has passed the Senate. II this con-
cern is allowed to commence operations, the
very next scheme will be to ressurreclionize
the dead bank Of the United States. The
principle is the same, and the man who
votes for the revival of the Schuylkill Bank,
can next follow his vote consistently by sup
porting bill for the revival Of the charter of
the monster itself. We call upon the DEM
ocrats The House 10 interpose between the
people and the Senate for the purpose of re-
straining this loose and Objectionable prac-
tice of clothing every bank with corporate
powers that chooses 10 ask for them.-Penn.

Just closed session of two days in this place
Men took no part whatever in the proceed

pretty thoroughly canvassed, and that to Q,
with an ability which would have dono no
discredit 10 elevated and enlightened minds
OF the other sex. Among those most gctiye
IN the proceedings were many who occupy
