Temperance Interroeatories.

As the old parties will shortly selectt,ei
candidates for the Senate and Legislature.
and as it is not desirable to nominate an indie.
pendent prohibatory ticket if it can be consis
tently avoided, and as there is no probabi,i
ty OF, obtaining Prohibatory liquor law unless
a amaJority ofyoters decide inits favor. I'VE re-
spectfully suggest the following interrogator-
les to our temperance friends throughout the
State, as suitable to be pronounced to candi
dates io1 the Senate and House of Representa-
tives.
Fusf.-Should a majority of the votes de-
posted at the next election, on that subject.
be in favor ofa Prohibatory Liquor Law. will
you IN the event of your election, use your
pest endeayers to secure the passage of a law
prohibiting the Manufacture and sale of all I'm
toxlcating liquors as beverage within the
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania? fr
SecoAd-IShould a majority of the people
decide against such law, viii you vote for and
strive to secure law that will effectiiallv pre-
vent the sale of Intoxicating fiduersas a .bey-
erage, on the Sabbatha, "
IAtrd.TWill you, in the latter event, strive
TO 10 secure the passage of law compelling
brewers and Lager Beer sellers. to procure
tneir licenses from the Court of Quarter Ses-
sion, with suitable penalties and restrictions

Bigler and the 'KnoW-Nothings."

Judge Pollock has been charged with be-
ing a asSKnow n Nothing," and although it has
been denied, universally, by the Whig press,
the Locofocos still re-echo the foolish and alb
surd charge, and call for its denial by Judge
Pollock himself. Now it has been charged
upon Mr. Bigler, upon just as good authoity,
that he applied for admission, and ,oas rejected.
Whenever, our Democratic friends show us
Gov. Bigler's denial of this charge over his
own signature, we think we can promise them
satisfactory evidence of Judge Pollock's posi-
tion. VIII they do it?
In addition to this it is charged, and that
charge has nerer been denied, that MORT,
their candidate for Canal Commissioner is a
member of the order! Can they procure his
denial over his own signature We should
like to see it.

Democratic Convention.

The ssunterrified,'' assembled in solemn and
secret conclave, on Saturday last, in an upper
room of the Court House. Although so deci-
dedly opposed to all secret societies, they set
with closed doors, and consequently we I'M
able to give an accurate account of their oper-
ations. We are credibly informed, however,
that the fun commenced by the introduction
of resolution declaring it impolnic at this
time to nominate Clearfeld for Con-
gress. This was masterpiece of political
wireworking, and our friend the Capt. deserves
great credit for his success in getting it pass
ed, without its being understood by one half
the Convention, as one of the delegates as
sured us was the case. So far all had procee-
ded amicably, with great harmony and unani-
ty. But at the next step, there every in
dication of ssbust up" The Barrett dele
gates, (of whom, by the way, there ma
jority,) discovered that in the passage of the
resolution alluded to, they had been most aw-
fully bamboozeled; that the Capt. had been
trying to administer to them small dose of
s:fapdoodie,' which Marryatt defines to be
ssthe stuff they feed fools on.'' But, they had
got their eyes open, and it wouldn't go down.
And when the Conferees were elected, they
were instructed for Judge Barrett first, in the
teeth of the <sfapdoodle" resolution, and for
David Barclay, Esq, second. About this time
it is said, there was every Indication that the
Convention would break up in a row, but they
succeeded in queiling the sfillibustering' pro-
pensities of the belligerant delegates, and
quieted down, again, to get to work on the
county nominations.
DAVID Ross, of Pike township, a very wor-
thy and deserving man, nominated for
County Commissioner; and GEORGE WAL
TIERS, of Bell township for Auditor. The Rep
resentative Conferees were instructed to sup
port ALEXANDER CALDWELL, ESQ.,, for re-elee-
ton. W. A. Wallace, Robert Mehaffey, and
D. W. Moore, We're appointed Congressional
COnferees. After the transaction of this bus
mess, the Convention adjourned, as far as we
are able to learn, without passing single res
Olution endorsing tho dmni iStratio,a n Coy,
Bigler, or declaring the principles of their
party! e
The only excitement, erteradliy, was pro-
duced by the offer of Whig to bet two dol
lars to one, or Five hundred dollars to two
hundred, that Bigler would be defeated. An
other offered to bet valuable horse that Pol
lock would be elected by triumphant ma
jority, but neither Billy, nor anybody else
would take the bets. The whole thing passed
off rather harmoniously, and all our drowsy
Inhabitants were awakened early Oh Sunday
morning, by the Gathering of horses hoofs, as
the delegates started for home
