whole aim IN ihe nominations ough, 10 be lhe
fitness Of men for the place they seek and
this fitness ought 10 include every element o
character. In this country Cor more espe.
cially in the Northern Slaies) .men seem to
sct a little too much as if craftsmanship and
knowledge OF political economy came by
instinct or intuition. In the Southern States
there may not be so much general lnfoTma.
tion, but only the very best men are kept in
places Of public trust. and man must Iave
unquestionable capacity before he can aspire
10 honors. The campaign this fall will be
an important one, as Congressman, Senator
and.two Representatives are 10 be elected
and for the success Of The phole ticket every
part Of il ought TO be strong, and each ofihe
counties in our clumsy district must exbibi
spirit Of harmony and union. Our county
has a character for sleadfssl and soBnd po.
Iiiical faith for which we may well be proud,
and nothing but foolish divisions in our party
can defeat any one OF the nominations. True
we have few men still seeking Office who
did the dirty work for the Know Noihlnes in
1854, and aided the Opposition in defeating
Democratic nominations before, but they are
so few, and mostly so penilent, that we ap
prehend no danger TO the ticket from them
The Convention will not be go wild as tc
nominate any such person, and there are on.
ly two Of them, we believe, on the list o.
candidates.
This county has been exceedingly Gortu.
nate 10 its public officers. 1t has sought for
men of sound common-sense views rather
than for dashing or magnificent men, and its
affairs have been managed with as much
safety, prudence and economy as those o.
any sister county. With the exceptions of g
single defalcation, by which the public los
nothing, and a few unconecled errors of the
late Treasurer, The whole business has been
we'll done and exhibits clear and credlable
record.
None but some imperlInent or ignorant ad.
yenturer who may have been snnbbed in
some "smnft" pfoJer, Of leecitng will eve
complain. The tax paying citizens of the
county have reason 10 be well pleased and
while there are many objects (some meri,o

DEATH OF JUDGE M'CALMonT.--We learn
from the Venango Spectator that the Hon.
Alexander M'Calmont died at his residence
in Franklin, on the 10th inst +, in the 72d
year of his age. He was one of the early
settlers of Venango county, and extensively
known as lawyer and politician, through.
out the State. In early life he filed several
county Offices, and was connected with a
democratic newspapers. He subsequently
studied law, and soon rose to eminence at
the bar, both as an advocate and counsellor.
Receiving the appointment of President
Judge of the Courts ol the Clarion District,
he served with distinction on the Bench,
and at the close of his term resumed the
practice of the law. Upon the elevation
of his son, Hon.J. S. M'Calmont, to the
Bench, he retired from his profession and
has confined himself since to the enjoyment
OF private life. In all the relations of life
he was highly esteemed, and his loss will
be severely felt in the community. .t

Professor Holloway introduced this nestma-
bic preparation, and in no superficial disorder
have its effects been more salutary than in
Salt Rhenm. We have seen it applied after

phase incurable. Holloway has no such
word in his vocabulary; and il Is when ihe

marvellous triumphs. reaction at once
commences. The external vessels recover
their tone and vigor, the irriiaied nerves that
torment in the skin are sooihsd, the pores
resume their heal,hful functions, and the vir.
US of the disease is expelled from the exe-
rior circulation and exhaled from the system.

at the best mere palla,ives, and in many in
stances they throw back the external FIRE up
