Ono of the merrlest jokes of the sea-
aon is the Pittsburgh Posts formal nom.
ination of James Buchanan for the Pres
idency in 1860. 1t must have been meant
for joke, but the administration editors
are not sure of it, and they are puzzled as
to how it should be treated. Are they
expected TO take 1t up seriously? Or are
they simply to say that Mr.. Buchanan
deserves the honor, but, as he has repeat
edly asserted that he would not be can
didate, the country will have to submit,
however reluctantly, to the necessity of
not having him for its President for
another term. 1t is to be remarked that
since the Posts formal leader on the sub
ject, seyeral days ago, it has not had a
Word to say about Buchanan or the Pres
idency. It biurted out its pronuncia-
mcnto and has been speechlcss ever since.
But though the nomination of J. B. at
Charleston be very improbable, and the
electien of J. b. utterly impossible, we
are not quite sure but that the Democrat
ic party owes it to itself and its prinoi.
pies, such as they are, to nominate J. R.
J. b. has sacrificed himself for bis party,
and his party ought in turn TO sacrifice
itself for J. B, He has done all shat par
ty GO I'D have desired for the injury of
the country, thereby faithfully carrying
out Democratic principles. 1t was his
misfortune that Congress should not have
fully co-operated with him and thus CON-
pleted the destruction; but be is not to
blame, for he did all the mischief that he
had the ability to do, and he is prepared
and pledged to do as much more as he
can if reelected AS for the reelection
of J. B., it can't be. But as q per-
feet type. exponent and embodiment of
modern Democracy, we cannot think of
any one so deserving of the Charleston
nomination as j. B.-Phaadetpbia BaE
}etiy.

a Word for the Journal.

Republicans of Potter County Have
you ever inquired how the editor and
printers Of the JOURNAL get living
More than t,co thirds of you do not subr
scribe for the paper. Is this right? Do
YOU wish the paper continued? If SO it
is your duty to aid in its support, 1t is
neither neighborly nor just, to ask Re.
publican editor to publish a paper, when
you do nothing to assist him.
If ! had any reason to believe that you
did not desire the continuance of the
JOURNAL, would not ask you to SUBJ
scribe for itj but you would deplore its
discontinuance as a calamity to the cause
of progress and reform. Then | ask, what
excuse you can render to yourself for not
subscribing at once. Double the sub
scription list and see how it will improve
the paper. 1t is no excuse to say that
you are unable to take it. You can better
afford to take it, than to go without it.
You can pay in peas or potatoes, or some
other product of your labor, and it will
be an excellent investment in various
ways. 1t will do you and your family
good. 1t will do those who print the pa
per good. And it will do the cause Of
Temperance and Humanity good.
Some of you excuse yourselves from
subscribing because it does not reach you
regularly. 1t seems to me, if you will

Boy New wheat has been received at
the mill in this place for the last three
weeks. The average quality is better
than usual, and the farmers generally are
well satisfied wi h the yield and the quail
ity of the wheat crop this year. The
grain is well filed and we'll matured and
makes good -four. So much for the "pan-
ic" after the 9Th of June FROST Cereao
{ Fa.) Crescent.
We find just such items in the local
columns of nearly all our exchanges, and
yet there are those (who do know bctter)
in this county that are continually trying
to get up famine panic among our peO-
pie. The Wellsville Budget states that
Messrs. Clark & Phillips, of that place
have received few barrels of New Wheat
Flour, being the first brought to that mar
ket. Our exchanges everywhere pro.
nounoe the wheat of 1859 superior in
quality to that of last year, and in many
localities the crop is much larger.
In this county the principal deficiency
is in the Hay crop, and intelligent farm.
ers inform US that though there will be
but half crop of grass, the deficiency
will be more than made up by the in.
creased grain crops, and especially of Oats
and such Roots as will take the place Of
hay for feeding cattle. We learn, also
that in the valley of Pine Greek the CROP
of grass is equally as good, if not better
than in previous years. The frost done

LIBERAL PREMIUMS FOR SUBSCRIBERS.

We desire to extend the circulation
and usefulness of the JOURNAL among
the People of this county and elsewhere.
In order to do this, we offer the follow
ing liberal Premiums for Club Sub
Scribers:
TO ANY PERSON GETTING UP A CLUB of
FIVE Subscribers, at 5 rs each, sending
US Sc, IS in cash, we will send any One Dol
lar Book, or volume of any Dollar News
paper.
FOR A CLUB OF TEN Subscribers, with
$3.50 in cash, we will send the getter-up
of the Club any Three Dollar Magazine pub
lished in the United States; or any Books
he may select to amount of S2,50 or he
may retain that amount from the subscrip
ton money, sending US $40.
FOR A CLUB OF TWENTY Subscribers
we will send the person getting up the Club
S. worth of Books or Magazines of his Sc
lection, or he may retain $5 of the money
sending Us $50,
FOR A CLUE lF FIFTY Subscribers, we
will give the getteE up Of the Club $l2,50
worth of Books of his selection, or he may
retain $l2,5O, sending US $40.
E6PW We will order the Books from the Gift
Book Store of g. C. Evans, Philadelphia, if
requested by those entitled to them.
To any LADY getting up % Club
of TWENTY Subscribers, and sending
US S25, we will give one of Bartletts Sc
SEWING MACHINES, twill do all ordinary
plain Sewing), or she may retain Sc Of the
subscription money, sending US Sl9,
RsIg- In all cases where TEN or more per-
sons club together and send US the money
without the interference Of cluh-agent, they
can have the paper at 81 each, per anRum,
The foregoing premiums are offered be-
cause the circulation of the JOURNAL is
not more than one-third what its position
as the party organ entities it to, and be-
cause we would endeavor to remedy, as
far as we are able, the unfortunate lack
of interest which the Republicans of this
county take in their county paper, by
making its circulation pecuniary con-
sideration to those who are willing to in
terest themselves In it; for we desire no
man to labor for our benefit without some
remuneration-notwithstandiug We have
been laboring for the party for the last
six months, or year nearly, without any
other pay than the satisfaction that we
have been laboring in good cause. We
think an enterprising agent ought to OBJ
tain ten subscribers a day, which would
make him handsome wages at the premi-
ums we offer. Will not the friends of
Truth and Freedom come to our rescue
May we not hope to commence the New
Volume with a list commensurate with
the ability and numbers of our party
friends? We do thus hope-shall we be
disappointed?
