Will fill the Office of Vice President by vir-
tue of the election held on Tuesday the 4th
day of November inst. He is all that the
party could wish for as a champion of their
principles. He commenced life poor and
friendless (his parents being dead) He be-
gan as teacher of common school, and
through perseverance and hard study, he en-
tered upon his collegiate course with the avails
of his labor. At this period of life wealthy
uncle became much interested in him, but APP
on his avowal of democratic principles the
bond of Friendship was severed. Yet this
young and aspiring genius continued on, and
finally graduated with the highest honors in
his class. AS an orator. he combines the
clear and comprehensive soundness of a Web
stcr and Clay: and in connection has a beau
tlful and fowery style of expression, and a
copious supply of words. of chaste and re-
fined character equal to the greatest. To use
the expression of nei yhbor of his when
he opens his mouth, it is but to give utterancc
to the most beautiful, chaste and classic Ian
guage, like rare collection of buds, which
as they open and expand, develop new beau
ties continually In his social position, with
such refinement and cultivated manner. he

to mention the large Cambria Tannery of

The manufacture of Leather is looking up

for capitalists to invest in that business. Wa

traversed in every direction by railroads,

made bet with Colonel Burbank, of Boston.

takcably announcing to Poore that he was in
for it, he prepared to meet his responsibility
without fiinching. lie loaded bis barrel of
the handles, threw it over his shoulder, and
set off on the tarnpike for Boston. As the
Major weighs about two hundred pounds, and
rather unaccustomed to that kind of work,
and had some high bills to climb, the task was
a pretty hard one. However. on he went.

Peripatetic Ballot Box.

1t is not very long since public curiosity
was excited by the discovery of the California
Ballot Box Attention was attracted by the
accounts of its ingenious construction, and It's
extraordinary capacity to elect anybody, des-
pite of the popular will At the time of its
discovery, it was considered to be the ne plus
ultra of electioneering devices. We are hap
py to inform the natives that it has been bea-
ten several spots, in a rural district in Cam
bria county. A few plain, unsophisticated
Tustics in Richland township have thrown the
California box, and all other boxes far into
the shade. They have invented the Peripa-
tetc ballot box, which was applied with sur
prising effect at the recent Presidential elec-
ton. Nothing can exceed the simplicity of
Its construction. A wooden Box, plain. and
of whatever size may be necessary, is put into
the hands of a Know-Nothing election officer
the machine is then ready and is started off
at sort of jog trot through the woods,
over the hills and far away" 1t will run
on until stopped by the operators, who can
control its movements entirely at will. An
astonishing number of votes can be gathered
up by this simple machinery, and no expense
is necessary, except a few drinks occasionally
to lubricate the passage.
The Peripatetic box has not yot been paten-
ted, but this will doubtless soon be attended
to. Ayankee friend of ours, who is great on
'fcins." has his eye upon it; he says it
works &c darned Sick"
The friends of the late Mr.. Fremont regret
much that the box was not discovered and
brought into general use at an earlier period.
They are persuaded, that through its assis-
tance, the lamented John Charles might have
made the landing An opinion in which all
practical men will coincide.
