DEMoCRATIC COUNTY CONVENTION.


TN accordance with the rule of the Demo-
4. cratic party, the Democratic voters Of the
several election districts Of Columbia county
will meet at their respective places Of holding
the general elec ton, on SATURDAY the 25th
tlay Of August next, between the hours Of
and Z o'clock ia the afternoon TO choose two
delegates from each township, 10 meet in
County Convention at the Court House in
Bloomsbury on MONDAY. the 27th day of
August next, ut /, O'clock, p. NJ, for the pur-
nose OF making the annual nominations of the
Democratic party.
Thsbemocrats of the several townships are
.enioined to strict vigilance thst none but Dem.
-ocrais participate in these elections, and the
success and integrity Of the party impc atively
requires that Know.Nothings cannot and sha II
not have voice either as voters, officers or
delegates in the formation of ticket which
they would not support when formed, unless
by some unfortunate accident some of their
own kind should be on it. The Democratic
party accords to these men the same right
which IL claims for itself 10 support men of
their own principles; but they must do il in
their own household, and not attempt to force
them on the people under the name of Dem.
.ocrats. Although il may te difficult in all
cases 10 know who belong to the Secret Order,
the precedent of the Democratic State Con-
venlion seems 10 be the only safe one-that
thv tree must be judged by its fruit, and that
those men who year after year openly and no.
toriously oppose Democratic nominations ond
support Wing and Know-Nothng candidates
are not Democrais. and can have no Just or
honorable claim to control or direct the policy
oi patty which they have refused to support
and vainly attempted to destroy. -

Lscass Mountain Coal and Iron Com,
bauy.


Since the organization Of this Company 10
1850, under the presidency OF Mr.. John An
spach, Jr., very extensive improvements have
been made on the middle Anthracite Coal
Region. olher Companies Witnessing the
progress Of the Locust ia opening up its
mines, constructing brakers, making lateral
railroads, &C., shave improved their lands fas-
ter than perhaps would have been the case
under other circumstances, so that the capi-
,al already expended in that region Tor per.
manent improvements alone, aggregates sew
eral millions of dollars. The property Of the
Locust Mountain Company was purchased
at different periods, from 1s46 to 1850, and
and although but three years have passed
since operations have commenced in the then
wilderness of Northumberland Co., $3.50 900
has been expended by the Company and
their tenants in preparing for active coal OPP
erations. Four coIlieres are open and three
more are being constructed. The first and
second were completed in 1854, and last fall
coal was first sent 10 market This year the
tonnage has been largely increased, and a
considerable trade has been carried on over
The Philadelphia and Sunbury Railroad, and
| Snsquebapnsh Canal and the Minehlll Rail-
road. Two of the bfakers have capacity for
storing 1900 ions Of coal each, and the others
from 400 10 1000 tons.
The Company owns 6, 800 acres OF land, q l
of which, it is said, contains comparatively
inexhaustable quantities of coal, some Of
which has been tested, and proved 10 be oi
the best quality for dwellings and manufac-
tories. The capital stock is 81, ,25o, 900. All
the Improvements have been paid for in full
and the Company is left entirely free from
Indebtedness. In short time it is in cor.
temptation 10 connect Mount Carmel with
the Callawissa Ra ilroad above Tamaqua, so
as TO afford additional facilities for shipping
coal 10 the market The Beck lands in this
county are owned by this Company, and
some of the mining operations are in the
southern edge of Locust township.
