disaffection existing in the Democratic ranks
and 10 season the feat with congratulatory
paragraphs in regard 10 the perfect harmony

columns afford incontrovertibe evidence
that there is no longer any peace in the

Laek'a and Bloomsbury K. R. Extension.

Since last Thursday the trains an the Lack
awanna and Bloomsbury Railroad have
been running regularly from Kingston to
Danvile, making two trips day. AS the
extension from Rupert TO Danville is not yei
ballasted, the trains run very slowly upon
that portion of the road. This work
was completed with vigor, involving as it
did, an immense expenditure of labor and
means. The first mile and half from Ru-
pert was much The most expensive portion
of this division of len miles, and for above
one mile was made by removing the whole
face of a precipice OF solid rock from twen
ty-hve 10 seventy.fve ieet in height, TO OBJ
tain room for the road bed. The work from
its commencement in the preliminary sur
vey 10 its final completion and formal OPEN
ing, was finished in exactly nine month,
smalllime for work of this magnitude.

The Opposition met in County Conven.
ton on last Tuesday, between the hours of
one and two o'clock, ia the Court House, at
this place, and made few County nomi-
nations. On motion the meeting was called
10 order and the following officers appoint
ed: President, Dr. g. W. Lott, OF Orangevile;
Secretaries, Andrew Madison and John Hart
man. The Convention then proceeded TO
the nomination of candidates.
For Commissioner they nominated JOHN
STALEY, of Greenwood for Treasurer ELL
WOOD HUGHES, of Centre for Auditor, JAMES
BARTON, jr., of Mon,our.
Frank Stewart, Esq, Col. Joseph Paxton,
William Neal, DR.. Palemon John, and
Neal McCay, were appointed commit.
lee 10 draft resolutions. The Committee
retired TO a ptivate room short time, and
then came into the Convention with string
OF resolutions denouncing, as a matter of
course, everything that the Democratic par
ty has done, from the highest office down
10 the lowest, no matter how good it has
been. They disapprove of every action that
is Democratic, but point out no particular
measures only that the affairs of State and
County in the hands of Democrats are badly
managed. This is carrying out the sense and
meaning Of their name-Opposition-and
that is all.
In their estimaion-only for talk sake
JAMES BUCHANAN has not done his duty, he
is not carrying out principles and measures
TO snil them or for the good of the country.
But who, that has been President of these
United States, have they not said the same
Thing of; meaning Democratic Presidents ?
II is their business, or at least they make il
their business, 10 do This. JAMES BUCHANAN
so far has made good President he has
adjusted and settled affairs which have
came under his attention ably and salts
factorily and 10 the good of the country.
They also find fault with our lale men,
ber of Congress, and our late members OF
Assembly. That is all, they only find fault
with them, simply because they are good
Democrats. They cannot say one word in
in condemnation OF their acts-what they
have done is all pTefeclly right-bu; still
they find fault with them. Thus goes the
Opposition.

Our Next Governor.

We find the following communication in
the Harrisburg Patriot and Union strongly
urging ihe claims of JACOB Fay, onr pres
sent Auditok General, for the next Governor
o. this State, which clearly meets our ap.
probation. The people Of this Common
wealth justly owe Mr. Fry debt of graft.
tude, for no public officer has ever been
more careful in taking care of their interests.
The services oil such men as JACOB Fay are
too valuable TO be lost. He is eminently
fitted by education, by habit, and by expe.
rience 10 fill the highest office in the gift OF
the people of this State. His character for
honesty, uprightness and integrity is beyond
reproach. He would make an excellent
Governor, and be an honor TO the Executive
chair:
MIR. EDITOR: 1t is exceedingly important
that the Democratic Convention next March,
should nominate, for the office OF Governor,
some good anG true man, around whom the
party can rally uniledly and for whom ev-
cry honest man in the party can vote with
out any sacrifice OF conscience. The gross
dereliclions OF our present Governor will in
cline the people 10 look sharply to the per.
sonal merits of the man who is to take his
place. If there be anything rotten or un-
clean in our candidate, am sure that our
Democratic people would rather suffer the
modification of defeat AT the polls, than
submit, again, TO the ignominy of seeing
the State betrayed by a ruler OF their choos-
ing. The issue OF the Presidential contest
hangs, too, upon the decision OF this State.
Many good men will doubtless he present.
ed TO the Convention, but among them, the
man, who, il seems 10 ME, is most strongly
indicated as the proper candidate, both by
the feeling with which the public regard
him, is JACOB Fry; Jr, our present Auditor
General. He is an inhexbly honest man,
and the people know it, AS public officer
il is mild praise TO say that he has never
had a superior in this Commonwealth. He
has administered the duties committed 10
him with an eye single 10 the good OF the
State, and he has opposed, with all his
might, every scheme Of plunder that has
been hatched during his term Of service. 1t
would 6e hard 10 reckon the advantages
which the Commonwealth has reaped from
his vigilance in the pursuit of dishonest
DEBTORS, and in the recovery Of claims, long
ago regarded as stale and worthless. For
these things he has never sought any praise.
He is plain blunt man-ius: such man
as the people delight 10 honor. His popu-
larily throughout the State is probably great.
er to-day than that Of any other man in the
Democratic party. He has served in Con-
gress, where he was distinguished as one
of the most useful, industrious and incor-
ruptible members of that body. in which
these virtues, we all know, are not as com.
mon as they should be. To sum up his
qualifications, he is "honest aud capable"
These were the requisites which Mr.. JefTer-
SON asked in public officer, and compre-
hend everything. TkAppE.
