UNION STATE CONVENTION.

The citizens of Pennsylvania who are op-
posed to the extension of Slavery and to the
other equally obnoxious principles Of the in
coming National Administration as announced
In the Cincinnati platform-who are opposed
to the union of church and State, the exclu-
sion of the Bible from our Common Schools,
and in favor of protecting the ballot-box from
the corrupt influences by which the will Of
the people was defeated in the recent State
and Presidential elections, are requested to
elect delegates, equal in number to the pres
ent representation in the Senate and House
Of Representatives, to meet in Convention in
the Hall of the House of Representatives, at
Harrisburg, on Tuesday, the 25th day of
March next, at II o'clock NJ, to nominate
candidates for Governor. Judge of the Sa-
preme Court and Canal Commissioners, 70 be

The above proposition for union of the
opponents Of the Cincinnati Platform and its
advocates, has been generally signed by the
members of the Legislature, and if now
faithfully carried out will ensure the forma
ton Of party, on a broad and comprehen-
sive basis, which will leave no room for cayil
hereafter for adhering to fractions The call
issued by TIE Republican committee has not
been withdrawn, as stated by some papers,
but it is understood that where two sets Of
delegates are elected, both are to be admitted
to the general convention, whether American
or Republican. This movement, we are glad
10 say, foreshadows a complete union Of all
the elements of the opposition who are sin
cere in their hostility to the sham democracy,
election alike effective and gratifying.

ILLINOIS LANDs.-The attention Of farmers
and others about removing TO the west, or
desirous Of making safe investments. is re-
quested ia the advertisement of Joseph MILF
ken, Esq, Offering for sale 10000 acres Of
Prairie Lands in Central Illinois. These
lands are located in climate congenial 10
cur own, near the great lines of railway that
traverse the State, and for fertility and easy
cultivation are unsurpassed. Among those
who have already made purchases are Wm
Mitchell Of Lewistown, Joseph Tice Of Gran
vile. John M. Bell of Derry. and Others, who
examined them in person and will cheerfully
testify to their value. The lands will be sold
low, and offer the strongest inducements for
emigrants from this and ueighbcring coun-
ties to form neighborhoods, and thus in a
measure relieve the tediousness arising from
settling among strangers in strange land.

RAILROAD TRAyELING-The resumption of
the Fast Line, with some change of time IN
the schedule, will enable our citizens to COM
bine considerable business and travelling be-
tween the hours Of 4. m. and II p. m. BY
taking the Express train in the morning they
will reach Philadelphia about neon, can take
dinner with their friends IF they have any,
attend to business for few hours. and AZ
half past feur start On their return home,
which, without accident or detention, they
will reach before midnight The railroad
distance from Lewistown to Philadelphia is
set down at 167 miles-so that passenger
would travel 334 miles and spend about four
hours in the city between a. m. and l2 p.
m. Had some well-to-de man twenty years
ago said he would live to see such thing
done, his heirs would have probably consign-
ed him to a Lunatic Asylum and divided his
estate.

FANATICAL DELUsIoNs.-For some years a
number Of German fanatics or impostors have
appeared in this country, protesting to be

imposturcs, Notwithstanding in every instance

unlike those Of old, sought instead of reject

here were brought to light. The party call

Under the head Of Town and County"
Will be found the authorized Proceedings
of the Republican County Convention
A more harmonious Convention has not
met in this county before, and not a sin
gle action of that body was marred by
any want of union or propriety in the
members-everything being conducted
by fair ballotiugs.
In its proper place we present the
Ticket placed in nomination, and for want
of room to notice it more extendedly, we
will briefly notice the claims of each can
didate.
ISAAC BENSON. Esq, was unanimous
ly re-nominated for Representative, which
action of the Convention precludes the
necessity Of any further remarks from us !;
and we have no doubt that the People of
Potter and Tioga counties will give an
equally hearty approval of his course last
winter, when election day comes around.
II. j, OLMsTED, the nominee for Pro-
thonotary, and present incumbent by ap-
pointment, is well known to the voters of
the County, and will be heartily endors-
ed by them at the polls.
A. II, RUTTERWoRTH, the nominee
for Register and Recorder, is new char
acter in the arena Of candidates, hut is per-
sonally well known throughout the coun,
", and will be elected by a handsome
party majority He Will make good
and faithful officer.
L. II. KINNEY, the nominee for Coun-
ty Commissioner, is deserving candid
ate, and will make an efficient and hon
est officer. He is well known through
out the county, as live Republican, de-
serving Of an enthusiastic support.
With JoHN c. BISHOP, the nominee
for Auditor, we have not much personal
acquaintance, and We believe this is his
first appearance on the political race
course of this county. Those who dc
know him, assure us that he is every way
worthy of the support of the party, and
We heartily commend him to the good
will of the Freemen OF the County.
With the above brief notice of the
Candidates separately, we for the present
leave the subject, in the meantime en-.

We welfare ofthe county, to give it cor

Brother Cobb, ct the " ellsboro IJttd-
tor, always writes some good things for
his paper, but his article last week on
" the price of Liborty" is capital, and
needs to be read by the Republicans of
this county. Here is an extract from it,
which We cOmmend to the serious atten
ton of every friend of Freedom:
"Does any freeman lean upon any past
success achieved by the noble efforts of
the friends Of Liberty? If SO, does he
dream that the successes of the past, how
ever brilliant and how signal soeYcr they
may have been, can guaranty like glori-
ously signal and brilliant victories to-day,
or tomorrow Such man leans on a
rotten stick. Success yesterday is not a
guaranty of success to-day. There is no
victory without labor, no true defeat
without apathy on the part of the defeat
cd, lie wins who works, he works who
wins. lie works best who is ever alive
to the Importance Of action: and he is a
drone who leans on past endeavor. A
thousand such could not do the work Of
one truly yigilant freeman; and ten
thousand such would lose the best North
ern State to Freedom 1t is the crying
evil of the time in Pennsylvania, that the
Republican hive is cursed with drones-
men who lean on local successes and do
nothing. THE ,S1pth and center CountieS

Now this is all bosh-boSh without
whit of its crudity purgcd off-ummitjga-
ted, political looesjch Jiddlcfaddic,
The lower part of the State has no
right to lean upon our majorities. Mind
your own business, and mind your own
feet. Go to work and redeem the lower
part Of the State-the upper part of the
State will get along without your lauda-
tions. The Wilmot District need not
wait for the lower counties to do "some-
thing handsome. We have something
handsome to do ourselves. We must
not expend all our strength in
hugging that Fremont majority we
must go to acorh and do 500 6etter-
That is what We have to do here in the
Ranner County. We do not thank any
croakers to put on Sunday-go-to-meet-
ing face and say that Tioga can't do bet
ter than she did last fall. She can do
better. The votes are all here, and if
they do not get into the ballot-box on
the 18th Of October next, then the Re
publicans of the several election districts
must settle with their own consciences.
There is no escaping the conclusion that

can neighbQrs Will have neglected their

gn5-W We would cBll the particular at
tention of our readers to the ''Pollitical
Antiquities which are developed on
our first page. The first article under
that head was doubtless written ty some
one of the most prominent political char
ncters Of that day, and of which, at that
time, the old ebay State" was prolific.
But written by whom it may have
been, it certainly presents a series Of
strong arguments for the principles en-
tsrtained BY the Republican party of the
present day. But what we would most
particularly invite our readela to observe
IS the fact that Massachusetts then cast
her electoral vote for a Democratic Presi-
dent, Mr.. Jeferson-a fact which, when
compared with her present political char
Hcter, is certainly conclusive argument
against the presumption of the so-called
Democracy of the present day, in claim
ing to represent the principles of that
worthy man in their current policy. We
have not room TO notice more particularly
the article, and invite our readers tc
peruse it and draw their own conclusions
