Republican Conferees.

The Congressional and Represen tation
Conferees of the Republican party met at
Ridgeway last week, and nominated Gen
John Patton Of this county for Congress,
and Isaac G. Gordon of Jefferson county
and Samuel Lawrence of the Sunbury and
Erie Rail Road, for Assembly.
Mr.. Gordon mis.represented this AS
sembly district at Harrisburg last winter
and we knoT several Democrats that vos
ted for him lass fall as we'll as some of
the Peoples" party that will not vote
for him again. We will try and publish
some Of his speeches delivered at Harris
burg last Ninter-sor the purpose of revi-
virg old memories, and we hope the peo-
pie Of this district will allow Mr.. Gordon
to remain at home the coming session,
Mr.. Lawrence we know nothing, nor
does he know anything about the wants
of the people Of this District, as he has
only been a short time in Elk county,
in the capacity oI a Rail Road engineer.
Against Gen. Patton we have nothing
to say, personally. lfany man in his party
deserves its support he is the man; he
has been one of the bitterest partizans in
the county all his life, as Wing, Know
Nothing, Peoples Party man and Re
publican. He has done ample justice lc
this conglomerated party, and we suppose
he will have no objections 20 having things
measured to him in his own way during
the campaign. Personally, Gen, Patton
hos many fine qualities. As a citizen, he
| is one of ihe most useful, liberal and hos
pitable, and for those reasons we hope ht
will be elected to stay at home.

The Difficulty Settled.

The attention of our Democratic friends
IS respectfully called to the proceedings
of the State Executive Committee at thier
meeting at Cresson on Tuesday last The
action of the Committee was prompt and
to the point. After mature deliberation
The friends Of Douglas and Breckinidge
agreed TO support the present electoral
ticket, excepting one of the Senat orial
electors, who is to be omitted, and the
name Of Breckinridge or Douglas substi.
tuted, as the voters may prefer, and The
electoral vote of the State TO be cast for
the one having tho greatest number. This
will enable the whole Democratic party of
the State TO vote as unit, and it is pres
csely what every man who did not prefer
Lincoln as his second choice desired-
The result will also settle much desired
point, and that is, whether Douglas or
Breckinridge is strongest in Pennsylva.

This proposition was made by the friends
Of Douglas, and accepted by the friends Of
Breckinridge, and was supported and of.
posed by about an equal proportion Of
each, and so far rs we have seen and
heard, it has not with the unanimous ap>
probation Of the party.
And why should it not? Its perfectly
talr and equitable, Every real Democrat
IN the State must prefer the election of
either Breckenridge or Douglas to Lin
coin. This arrangement enables ALL SUCH
to unite and vote for the same electors,
without sacrificing any feeling, prejndce
or party obligation, They may all regret
the present unfortunate condition of our
party-ihe failure Of the National Con,
vention to make q nomination that would
have secured harmonious action, NAV be-
as 1t no doubt is, regretted by many true
Democrats. But there is no help for that
now. We must deal with things as they
are--pot as they should be, or as we woulo
wish them TO be. Those who repudlatC
his action of the Committee, whether
hey are for Douglas or Breckenridge, are

lim more aid than if they were tC

ANTI LINCOLN.

\ FOos's PERFoRMANcEs--W hardly
know what feelings predominated when
we read,of the feats of Blondin upon a rope
over tho chasm of Niagara. To say that
they are foolhardy is saying very little,
and yet it seems like the most reckless
and criminal exposure of life without at
tanning any other end than that which the
renowned Sam Patch acknowledged as
the only motive that impelled him to
make his fearful leaps,--" to show that
some things can be done as well as 9TH
ers." We have. expected to hear long be-
fore this that Bloudin was in the whrl
pool, sailing round and round lifeless
form. But really we do not know what
to make of the man. Some Of his perfor-
mances surpass all tina. we have ever
heard Of, and appear to be almost miracus
lous, The Buffalo Commercial Adyerti>
ser thus describes his last feat
"ln few minutes, the little man was
seen coming towards America attached 20
a heavy numbering chair. When about a
third of the May ont, he placed the chair
upon the rope and seated himself there.
on, crossed his legs, and gazed around
with apparent unconcern. He then ad,
justed two legs of the chair on the cable
and again seated himself. Coming near
er to the American shore, he again stop
ped and sat down and then got up and
stood in the chairl!When we consider that
this is done on single cable stretched al
a height of more than two hundred feet
over one of the most fearful chasms and
torrents in the world, it seems absolutely
miraculous. .-.... ............ t... ..

Douglas or Breckenridge.

We have heretofore had the names OF
both the above named gentlemen at the
head of our paper as candidates for the
Presidency. In doing so we were but ac'
ting in harmony with the State Execu-
tive Committeeman publishing the only
Democratic paper in the county we be-
lieved this the fittest way Of rejecting the
sentiments of our Democratic fellow citi'
zens, whom we knew to be divided in
their preferences between these two gen.
tlemen. We expressed no preference be-
tween them, unless the urging of every
Democrat to accept the recommendation
of the Central Committee, and thus Sc
cure the certain defeat of Lincoln, can be
taken as such. ,..
For this course on our part, the Doug.
las or Lmcob, men among US have seen
proper to condemn us by a formal reso'
luton, published among the resolutions
said to have been adopted at their late
meeting at Curwensyille. Of this, we have
no complaints to make. They have a
perfect right to do that, or to do anything
else they see proper to secure the defeat
Of the Democratic party. ......-
But in thus reading the Republican"
out of the Democratic party, they will be
extremely fortunate if they dc. not thereby
read themselves into The ranks Of the Re-
publicans. They should also DC reminded
that they have thus read oW their own
friends, for, lat the meeting of the State Gen.
tralC 1muittee at Cresson last Thursday the
proposition to support the present electo>
raj ticket, to be voted for by Che friends OF
both Breckenridge and Douglas precisely
the course the RcpUJliam has urged from
the heginning--,caS made By tic friends Of
Douglas. This act of the State Executive
Committee will meet the appreciation of
nine,tenths of the Democrats Of the State.
The party will cheerfully unite upon It.
The state will be carried against Lincoln.
Gen. Foster will be elected Governor. and
either Douglas or Breckenridge President, t,
ami our intensified, straight-outers will
either have to back water, or follow Hick-
man and Forney over to the Republicans.

WHAT DOES THIS MEAN {?

'RcSOlved, That we hal with pleasure the .
inauguration Of a new era in the political !
affairs of our country, and that the 4th of
March next wH Cmdup the present farce ofa
government"
Reader, the above is the first clause Of
the first resolution adopted at the Cons
vention held at Ridgway, last week, at
which Gen. John Patton was nominated
as the Republican candidate for Congress.
The language is decidedly bold, and to the
point, and as the resolutions we're drawn
up and reported by Committee consist
iLg of two Editors and Lawyer who are
presumed to know the meaning of words,
OF course .hey mean exactly what they say.
So, then, we are TO have an end Of our
present !aace of government and
"new era" inaugurated. Why did they
not intimate what kind Of q government
the new one is to be. Isit to be a mona.
chy-absolute or limited? We hope the
present visit of the Prince Of Wales has no
correction with it.
