Hon. VIM. A. PoRTER.-We see it stated
in the PennSyluanian, that the warm contest
between the friends of William A. Porter
and Judge Sharswood, was productive of
reports calculated to create the impression
that the former gentleman was opposed to
the Kansas policy of Mr.. Buchanan and the
Democratic party. In relation to Judge
Porter, Wa.have it from unquestionabie au-
thority that he is for the President. In fact
we never conceived otherwise, and the futile
attempt TO connect MS name with disorgan-
izers and the opponents Of the Admnistra-
ton, has most signally failed. The coward
ly attempt of disappointed office-seekers to
gather strength, by linking the name of
Judge Porter TO their factions and desperate
cause, will meet with the deep condemna-
ton it merits. The peace of the country,
the harmony of the Democratic party, and
above all the success OF Mr.. Buchanans
Administration, are controlling considera-
tions with Judge Porter, and cause him to
give the whole weight of his influence 10

BLooMsBURG.-This town is rather nicely
, situated, not great distance from the Sus-
quohanna, upon Columbia's flats, and is the
Capital of Columbia county.
For several years past this town has been
(loath 10 say iD in almost a dormant state
Improvements of very little importance were
in progress-and commercial and all other
business moving along like heavy burden.
But within the last year quite a. change
has taken place; the enterprising and goa.
headative portion of our worthy citizens
have been aroused to see their negligence
as regards improving and enhancing the
value of their property.
We can now truly say, Bloomsbury is
blooming and improving-she is numbered
with the growing towns. Much has been
accomplished within a short time which
adds greatly to the appearance and conve-
nience of our place. The most expensive
item of improvement was the building of
two beautiful brick churches; blythe way
very much needed. And the third one is
now under contract, TO be in course of erec-
ton soon. Bloomsburg can boast of having
the best churches in this section of country.
Another matter of much importance and
want, to the citizens and public in general,
was the purchase and erection of a town
clock, which was placed on the cupoa of
the Court House, and contributes largely to
the appearance and credit of the place.
East Bloomsbury is not behind in this re-
spect; she is building up her "little end''
with neatness and despatch. We noticed,
the other day, when at the Depot, quite a
number of dwellings in course of erection,
in that particular locality. The citizens oi
that part Of the town display good deal oi
energy, and considerable taste in building
and improving their properties.
Notwithstanding these hard times we ex.
hibit in our town symptoms of vitality and
| progress. A visit 10 Bloomsburg will satisfy
strangers that we have enterprisng citizens
amongst us who are not 10 be siIenced, ever
by money crisis like the one we are now
having the benefit of.

not have a trial unless the case is carried
into some other county. To save costs, the
sooner done the better for their county, pro.

The Democratic State Convention met in

in Harrisburg, at 1o3 o'clock, on the morn

for Supreme Judge and Canal Commission

ness as pertains to the authority of a Con-

guard; small indeed, and which will now
grow beautifully less, was raised; and his
efforts to bring about division of the Dem

even our scorn. Laughter will be their only
reward.

sustain President Buchanan and the Demo-

they may have a good time of it. These
small schisms i'll the democratic party do
good, after all. Instead of producing the
