~The Wing Senatorial Conference of
this district met at Beavertown on Satur-
day last, and unanimously ccncurred in

ta.-The Representative Confcrecs met at

Neither Conference attempted to decide
between the rival claimants from Union.
The Democratic Senatorial Conference

states that Mr.. DOTY of Juniata received
the nomination for Senate, and that no
nomination was made for Representative

p1"Thc Wing Congressional Conferecs
for the district comprising Union, Lower
Mahanoy, Dauphin, and Lebanon, met at
Harrisburg: Thursday of last week
Dauphin and Lebanon counties claimed
that Union county two years ago pledged
itself not only not TO ask for the re-nomi-
nation of Mr.. Middlcswar,h, but also that
the County should not claim the Office at
present for more than that Term and the
two counties had agreed upon JonN c.
KUNKLE, thus ensuring him majority
Upon this frank representation Of the state
Of the case, Mr.. CASEY promptly waived
contest, and Mr.. Kuukle received the
unanimous nomination. The Conference
did not ndertake to decide between the
rival claimants from Union, all Of whom
recorded their votes for Mr.. Kunklc.
This county was naturally desirous Of
having the Representative in Congress
but no one without her borders could be
more acceptable (party politics aside) than
John c. Kunkle. As public speaker,
hs had not superior during his FIVE years
services in the Legislature; and his love
Of human rights, and fearlessness of power,
render him peculiarly fitted, in this event
full era, for representative of the land of
Penn, Of Franklin. and Of the Congress
of '76.
Mr.. Mengas is the democratic nomi-
nee on the part Of Union county, and Maj
Lauman on the part Of Dauphin.
Lewisburg chronicle. [volume] (Lewisburg, Pa.) 1850-1859, 1854-09-15


~The Star supported Maj. Simonton,
"subject to the decision of the Wing Con-
ferees." The Conferces have decided not
to nominate Simonton. Considering that
last year both Union and Juniata agreed
to support him, their present refusal to
nominate him is equivalent to rejection.
All the efforts of the New Berlin Clique
to bully and entrap the Juniata people
and Conferees, proved failures.
From all We can learn, the people of
Juniata county are entirely dissatisfied
with Maj. Simonton as Representative,
and will give 400 to 600 maj. against him.
AWMr. Gutelius some time ago chal-
lenged the opponents Of Division to public
discussion, but the New Berliners did not
take the challenge up. Since the Bond
appeared, however, they appear to think
something must be donc," and Mcssrs.J.

A Short Tale for the Instruction OF
the Editorial Corps.

Some years ago, a small town in Pennsvlva-
mia was very much infested with rats They
we're found 10 increase much faster than the
regular population, and soon had an undisturb
ed possession of the place. All the usual
means of determination had been tried nth
little or no effect so that there was some ap-
prehenslon that in consequence of their num-
bers, they would soon have such political as
tendency in the county as TO be able to control
the elections, and so to monO2olize every Office
Of honor and profit.
While things were in this state a travelling
Yankee cameinto the village With a wagop-losd
of rat-traps, one of wbich. ne presented. " free
graHs' TO the "iilage editor, explaining its
mode OF operation to that gentleman SO salts.
iactorially that he Immediately wrote what is
called "strong puff, to be inserted in next
days paper.
On the strength of this recommendation,
every house holder in town bought a trap. Il
was patent affair, and was calculated to work
wonders. Every rat that went in, would, by
rubbing his nose or hooking his tail in a certain
spring, shaped for the purpose, shut himself up
and reset the trap to capture another one
and so on in Infinite progression. The price
was very high, but was Cheerfully paid, be.
cause Mr.. Editor certified that the thing was a
mastery contrivance, and would do all that
was promised BY the inventor, and more, il
possible.
Well, that night hundreds of traps were set
but who can imagine the astonishment, the con
sternation of the villagers, next morning, when
it was found that not one rat was caught fol
rats are not so easily humbuggd as some other
kinds OF living creatures. The traps; it ap-
pears, were to be classed among those things
which are correct in theory but which fail in
practice. A camorous crowd. each individual
with trap in his hand, waited Oh the editor
Sir, it was YOUR fault tha, we have been thus
humbugged. We looked to you for correct in
formation, and placed implicit confidence in
your statements. Had you said nothing about
the traps, we would not have robbed our fam.
lilies to purchase them. We charge you with
our losses, and consider you as the atcomplce
of the villain who deceived u.s.
Then the editor was struck all in heap with
shame, sorrow and remorse. He sat himself
down BY The side of his press. and grYanvd in
great anguish of spirit, saying 10 himself
Have indeed been the accompiice OF this
Yankee rascal, and helped him 70 rl,n ny 'el.

for six weeks without intermission. az the end
Of which time he was found with his head bur-
iec in the ink-cask, he having chosen that &c.

thus, by the last act OF bis life. this editor prov

brethren.-tSuuday Mercury.
