HON, EDWARD MCPHERSON.

On Saturday week the good people of this
county had tho pleasure Of listening to this ell
oquent champioA of Repubcanism, IN front
OF the Court House, in this place, for short
time. All who heard hip were delighted.
MIR. Mcpherson had. paid short visit to
franklin county admiring some of of our
bonnets, We believe when the large crowd
who were here, from all parts of the county,
to witness the balloon ascension, called him
out and gave him an attentive hearing for the
short time be was permitted to speak, which
was but about half ali hour, owing to the

GENERAL FosTER.-George w. Pearce, of
the West Chester Republican and Democrat,
says that he is strongly in favor of Douglas,
AID will say SO when the proper time comes.-
Under thesec circumstances, IL is somewhat sin
gular that Gen. Foster should lend himself to aid
and comfort the disunionists. That he does
counteuauce their position cannot be disputed,
for when he was nominated for Governor. hs
bound himself to the platform of the Reading
convention, which selected him. That con-
vention passed resolution, which Foster ia
bound to endorse, containing the following SEN
tment:
Resolved, That We regard the domestic aud
foreign policy Of President Buchanan as emi-
nently patriotic, pure, conservative and just,
and we look upon the success which has crown
ed his labors as the bes, and proudest vindi-
cation of their propriety and wisdom.
If General Foster really upholds the senti-
ment expressed in this resolution, he cannot
be a sincere Douglas man, and must at heart
be for Breckinridgc. If he repudiates the
platform of the convention, he cannot be re-
garded as its candidate, and has no claims rpou
the party. The longer Gen. Foster remains
in the field, the more hopelessly he becomes
involved in political inconsistencies and trials.

The Conference.

The conference held in Bedford borou oh ON
Tuesday last, consisting Of the delegates from
Somerset, Bedford, and Huntingdon courties,
nominated Col. s. s. Wharton, Of this borough :,
for the State Senate. TIE gentlemen of this
conference we're animated with desire to do
all in their power towards Strengthening the
party, by presenting the name of an unexcep-
tionabe and popular man, as their candidate,
and that they succeeded, let the enthusiasm,
the delight, the general satisfaction which meets
us on every hand, be the response. Bedford
and Somerset counties presented candidates
every way worthy the respect and confidence
of the people, and under any other cireuus-
stances we would have hailed the nomination of
either of them, with Infinite delight. But the
claims of Huntingdon county were too strong
to be overlooked; and as patriots, and gentle
tlemen who believed in carrying out in good
faith. previous pledges, and had thee interests
of the country and the party..at heart, the con-
ferees of Bedford and Somerset counties, with
magnanimity worthy their character for fair
ness and coneiliation, nominated Huntingdon
county's favorite son, COL Samuel S. Wharton,
for this important post. All honor to them for
their compliment. We here assert that thew
will fnd our people in the future not to be un-
grateful.
The nomination of Col. Wharton has cement
ed the ranks of the Peoplesmost thoroughly,
and secures the triumphant election of our whole
county ticket, by glorious majority. Hunt
iugdon county will do her whole duty, aud roll
up for Col. Wharton, majority Of 1900. Mark

An Arkans as correspondent, who probably
wanted to wake up Rev. Dir. Brownlow, of the
Knoxville (Teun.) Wing, wrote to the latter
stating that he had learned with pleasure, upon
what he considered "reliable authority that
DIR. Brownlow was about to join the Democrats,
aud asked for the probable date of that occur

least data for the date, as follows:

Such is the record. Does it sustain the
claim of the Democratic fuglemen of this and
adjoining States that their party favors the
adoption of Tariff that will protect the in
dustrial interests of the country. Assuredly
not. The Democrats of the House almost to
man voted against the Tariff biH, and Dem
ocratic Senate resolutely refused to pass ii.

All our readers know with what seeming
earnestness Democratic orators and Democrat
ic editors have proclaimed that Kansas should
be admitted into the Union as soon as her
people knocked at the doors of Congress with
constitution framed in accordance with the
provisions of the Nebraska bill. Aud yet,
because the people of Kansas would not con-
sent to be governed By the infamous Lecomp-
ton constitution, ffty-six Democratic members

territorial vassalage, and Democratic Senate
sustains the unjust vote
Lastly, what about the Tariff Bill of Mr.
Morrill,, of Vermont, which passed the House

LET Us FRIGHTEN THEM.--This is virtual
ly the language of portion of tie Breckin-
ridge party at the South, spoken with reference
to the Republicans. As an instance, We copy
the following deliberate statement from the
Charleston .Mercary's review of the political
aspect of the times, and we bespeak tor it the
caLdid attention of all our readers:
"The Presidential election turns upon a sim
gle fact. IL the Northern people believe that
the Southern people will dissolve their connec-
tion with them, should the Black Republican
party succeed in electing Lincoln 60 the Presi-
dency-Lincoln will be defeated. Should they,
on the contrary, believe that the Southern peo-
pie will submit to Black Republican domna-
tion, by the election of Lincoln to the Presiden-
cy--Lincoln wiA be elected

has just returned from the North, reports that
Black Republcanism is there making headway,
and has chance OF sweeping everything before
it unless a general, energetic, prodigious effort
be made to ward off from the country such q
calamity
The New Orleans Bulletin cannot tolerate
the idea of the non-slaveholding States, whose
citizens outnumber those of the slavehelding
States by more than two to one, electing Pres

ALLEGHENY SEMINARY.

Mr.. EDITOR The fall session of the above
institution opened under very favorable cir
cumstances, on the Tth inst. The attendance
of students is fully as large as at any previous
period of its history. Prof. L. j. Osborne,
the indefstigable Principal, has proved himself
successful teacher, having, during the two
years that he has been connected with the Sem
mary, secured the confidence and support of a
large portion of the citizens of this and the ad-
joining counties. Connected with tao school is
Commercial Department, under the supervis-
ion of Prof. w. 2. Totten, who is graduate
of the Iron City College. M
During the present quarter Normal De-
partment has been organized, composed of
about fifty students, most of whom have al
ready been engaged in the profession of teach
ing. The first lecture was delivered by Prof.
Osborne, on Monday evening of the presen.
week. His subject was, "The Relation which
the Teacher sustains TO lis Country" Ii will
be doing him no more than justice 10 state that
the address was emlnently bedttiug the oeca-
sion, and was attentively listened to by all
present. The next lecturer was Mr.. J. Il.
Longenecker, of Woodberry, who made some
very appropriate remarks with reference to bis
manner OF teaching. Indeed, this association
of teachers will, we think, compare favotably
with similar bodies, both in point of numbers
and intelligence.
Upon the whole, the Allegheny Seminary is
doing good seI vice 10 the cause of education,
and bids fair to maintain that position which il
has SO deservedly attained. N. A. P.

A meeting of the State Executive Commit

sylvania was held to-day.
The Committee met at z o'clock, at Cover
ly's Hotel, Hon. Henry M. Fuller in the
chair.
Every district in the State was represented,
and the utmost harmony aud good feeling was
eVlnced BY the delegates"
Is is true that meeting of the committee
was held in back room Of Coverly's Hotel,
and that our amiable friend, Mr. Fuller, pre-
sidedi but it is false that every district in the
State was represented. Not over six persons
were present at any time, three of them hail
ing from Philadelphia. We have no doubt the
utmost harmony prevailed ip that large assem-
blage.
The meeting held in the evening was mis-
cradle failure; but very few persons were in

Democracy haa ever claimed to be the con
servator of the public morals, but how could
its representatives,, under the control of the
Slavery Propaganda, vote to condemn Polyga-
my, which the Republican platform of 1856
has denounced side by side with Slavery as the
ss,win relics of barbarism." True, twenty
two Democrats voted for the bill, but where
stand the majority!
Next regard the vote in the House on the
admission of Kansas into the Uniob, taken on
