Evidences ofRe Union.

We observe all aronnd, says the Allen
town Democrat, the cheering evidences of a
reunion Of feeling and Of effort in the Dem
ocratic ranks, so recently distracted by is
sues which we trust have passed with the
circumstances that have brought them
into existence. Among these signs Of the
times, there are none more cheering than
the Democratic press. That embttered and
acrimonious language which characterized
the press to a certain extent, n few months
ago, has been changed entirely and now
almost every Democratic paper that we
open, supports right heartily the nominees
Of the party, Mcssrs. WRIGHT and Row.,
whatever may have been the views OF
those who represent it, as to the course OF
the convention that nominated them, this
is as it should be. We never could find
anything to justify a Democrat in refusing
his support to an unexceptional nominee,
in the unwise action Of convention that
made the nomination. Hence from the
outset, NC cheerlully accepted the nomi'
nees Of the last State Convention, while
we as unhesitatingly condemned the
course as pursued by the convention in
other matters as factious and impolite
/ There were, however q few Democratic
papers that pursued for a time different
course, nearly all Of which we are pleased
to observe, have now the Democratic hal
floating at the masthead and are doing
good service in the cause.
We may therefore say that the Demo
cratic press of Pennsylvania is an unit il
support Of the ticket and if the same de
termination to rout tho Opposition
whether as Black Republicans, or Know
Nothings, Or under any other guise-a
manifested, we look forward to an easy
and triumphant victory.

Memo EQuALIrY.-Thec colored brethren
are beginning to believe that their pre-
tended friends are sincere and are acting
accordingly. We understand that out OF
the ten in Venango county whose names
are attached to the call for Forney's State
Convention, seven are negroes, viz:-Geo.
Law, Samuel Wilkinson, Geo. Pearson,
Samuel Hopkins, C. P. Adams, Daniel
Lawson and 5. Jones. If this is the case
and if not the Spectator will please sci
us right-we are glad to see it. 1t is about
time the negroes would assert the right;
which have been claimed for them so long
and we know of no better place for them
than under Forney's Banner. He need,
strength and few of them near his person
will make him ecry Strong.-Merc Reg.

A Reminiscence.

1t sometimes happens that in commend
ing the honorable and patriotic conduct
Of worthy men, wo indirectly pass sen
tence upon those who have pursued a
selfish and despicable course, and occa'
sionally prepare rod in anticipation, that
may fall heavily upon our own shoulders.
The following reminisccnce, which we
clip from tho Crawford Democrat, is q
practical illustration of our assertion, and
cunnnot fail to strike the reader as n
remarkable instance in which man has
pronounced a sentence of condemnation
upon himself, years before the commits
sion Of the act which he SO justly de-
nounced. How forcible must his own
declaration appear to him tC-lay, that "all
history a5ounds gih criicnces Of he disasters
hat s!fsh men bring upon themselves By trying
to arengc their diSqpoiatmcnts upon Others"
Read and ponder:

planned nor found fault with the action

The Supreme Court of Ohio.

The decision of the Supreme Court Of
Ohio in the Oberlin Slave rescue case, fur
nishos an evidence Of two things, first that
some men can be misguided and fanatical,
and yet il they are honest and conscien-
clous, will do their duty even at the ex-
ponse of their own prcjudices; and sec
ond, that the present leaders Of the Re-
publican party have no respect for the
Constitution of the United States, nor
for any man who obeys its requirement.
no matter how high the obligation by
which his bound to do so.
The above case was one wherein mum.
Der of citizens of Ohio attempted to rescue
a fugitive slave who had been recovered
by his master, in violation of the laws Of
the United States, and upon being arrest
ed, by the U. S. authorities were brought
before the Judges of the Supreme Court
upon a writ of HaJeas Corpus, and asked to
be discharged. Judge Swan, who deliv-
cred the opinion Of the court in obedience
TO the Constitution of the United States,
remanded the prisoners back to the Gus
tody Of the U. S. Marshal, two Of his as
sociatea agreeing with him, and two dis
senting. While the hearing was pending,
public meetings were held in various
places, and every effort was made to in
huence the court to bring itself in conflict
with the authority of the General Govern
ment. Giddings, Chase and others, adj
dressed IL meeting at Cleveland, and in
their speeches held the doctrine that the
State Courts were not bound by the de-
cisions of the Supreme Court of the Uni
ted States, in matters arising under the
laws Of the United States yet in the face
of all this, the court, ora majority ofthem
had the moral courage TO discharge then
duty to ther country, and fulfil the obi
sations they had assumed in taking thC
oath OF Office by swearing to support th'
Constitution Of the United States, anC
obey her laws, notwithstanding they wer'
Republicans in political sentiment.
The party which felt itself SO deerl.
sgrieyed because its reasonable purpose
were baffled, took summary vengeanc
upon Judge Swan, by refusing TO nomi
nate him for a reelection at the Repub
lican Convention held two or three day
after the decision was announced. Thi
has led to several indignation meetings il
which the Conyen ion is denounced il
strong terms. A cotemporary says tha
the Republicans in Ohio, by their treat
ment of Judge Swan, have cut their owl
throats.

LIMA BEASs.-We see that some of our
brethren of the press arc recommending
the pinchng OF Lima beans when six feet
high, instead of permitting the vines to
run around poles Of fifteen feet. This is
an excellent practice, and was first sug-
gested by ourselves, which seems forgot
ten by those who then repudiated and now
adoptit. Pinch treatment causes the vine
to grow to a much largar size, throwing
out side-shoots with larger crop of fine
frnit and to perfect the beans before frost
instead of continuing to bear indefinitely
and to perfect but few. This is an excellent
crop whenso managed and always prof
table. 1t only requires full fertilization
aud disintegration of the soil to raise &
pint OF more of Lima beans per pole, and
with such crop sold at six dollars pei
bushel in the dry state, the yield will
equal S4O0 or more per acre in value

Onnosition State Convention.

The Opposition State Convention met
at Harrisburg on Wednesday last, and was
presided over by that illustriOus blood and
thunder gentleman, David Taggart, Esq,

Convention for the honor conferred and
INDUCED in numerous sage reflections, in
the midst of whici hc introduced the R9-
man orator, whom he made to eXclaim,
"How long, oh, Buchanan! will you con-
tinue to abuse our patience?" and then
made nice play upon Reilly and Ahl,
after which he subsidized. The convention
then proceeded to nominate candidates,
and on the eigth ballot, Thomas L. Coch-
ran, Esq, Of Lancaster received MAORI

al, and VIM. II. Keim, ESQ, Of Bcris,
was nominated on first ballot for Survey

A Word to Candidates.

As the time is near at hand when the
various candidates for political favors,
whether in pursuance Of their own incli-
nation, or in obedience to the wishes of
friends who desire to see them occupy
places of honor and trust, will find it ne
cessary TO have their names placed before
the people through the medium of the
Press; we deem it proper to say a few
words in regard to the course we consid-
er, that in justice to ourself as well as to
the various candidates for nomination in
the Democratic party whose servant we
profess to be, we will feel bound to pur-
sue. That no mans narle may be trified
with, or used contrary to his reasonable
wishes, we shall invariably require every
announcement Of the name of any person
as a candidate for the nomination for any
of the officers voted for at the primary
election, TO be furnished us by the candi-
date himself, or some responsible Demo
crat, as our guarantee, that his name is
not improperly used. Each candidate
shall have his name inserted in the first
issue Of the Republican" after it has beer
received at the Office. To ensure attcu
ton, all announcements must be N wri
ting and left at the "Repubican" Office
or addressed to the editor by mail. Al
such notices will be charged one dollar
and we may express the hope will be paic
at the time tho card is handed in for pub
lication, as that will prevent any difficul
ties thereafter about the proper person t,
pay the same. BY a strict adherence I,
these rules in good faith, during the cam
pagn, We hope TO be able to treat al ou
Democratic friends fairly, and if possible
give no cause Of complaint to any.

A BoRpER BuFrIAS outrage ExpLooEr

A BORDER BUFFIAN Outrage ExPLoDED.
Some weeks since, pathetic account
of an attack upon W. B. Bloss, an asaist-
ant editor Of the Leavenworth Times,
went the rounds of the Republican press,
which they Indignantly denounced as q
pro-slavery outrage upon man on ac
count Of his anti.slavery views, &c. The
story was dished up in the usual style o
Kansas border ruflian outrages. The facts
of the case have since come to light, by
which it appears that Bloss had grossly
insulted the wife OF Mr.. White, who had
kindly taken him into his family and
nursed him while sick, and failing tC
mako a proper amend for his conduct, re
ceived a severe punishment from his az
grioyed benefactor. In this case, lik,
many Others, the real offender was mad,
a martyr, and the facts were represented
and used for political effect
