Senator FITZPATRICK, of Alabama, the nom
-inee for Vice President on the Douglas ticket
refuses to be sacrificed in the manner proposed
and has positively declined to permit his name
to be thus used. In this emergency it is an
nounced by telegraphic despatch that Hon. II
V JOHNSON. of Georgia, has been nomina'
ted in his stead" Who he was nominated y
by is not stated. Certainly net by the rump
convention that nominated Douglas and Fitz-
patrick, for it had broken up and the members
dispersed several days before Mr.. johnson was
nominated. 1t matters little, however, how il
was done-a martyr to be slaughtered with
Stephen was necessary, and his followers were
fortunate in finding man willing to accept
the position of second fiddler to dofunct
giant.

Douglas was serenadcd at his residence in
Washington on Saturday night last by a
crowd of his admirers, including many of those
comprising the Theatre fragments of the late
Democratic party. He accepts the position
assigned him, and of course regards his elec-
ton necessary to the salvation of the Unien.
He denounced the Southern nullifers and dis
unionists, and referred disapprovingly to their
late threats to dissolve of the Union in the
event of being beaten by the Republi-
cans at the polls-which issall very well, but
would have come from him with better grace
and been more likely to be regarded as sincere,
had the denunciation been uttered before he
was repudated and cast off by them after
having made every possible effort to secure
their support.

The child had one hand just below the neck,

tongue of the poisonous creature was project

Our neighbor Of the Standard, who is an ar
dent Douglas man, issued brief extra Satur-
day afternoon, announcing the nomination of
his favorite for the Presidency by what remain
ed of the Charleston Convention after two Sc
cessions which took ftom it the President and
nearly all the delegates from the Democratic
States, and closed by exclaiming Glory
enough for one day." To this sentiment we
doubt not every Republican in the land will
respond Amen! 1t was the death and burial

erful and invincible Democratic party, an event

The Marysvills Tribune of the 10th con-
tains an Editorial article of considerable
length, urging the claims of that county to
the right of furnishing the candidate for Con-
gress- This is all very proper; Union has
claims, and in discussing the question of the
succession We have never denied that such was
the fact, but on the contrary always explicitly
recognized them. We think. however, in the
article referred to our worthy neighbor puts
it on rather strong, WHEN he attempts to make
it appear that Union is the only county in the
district that has claims, or that hers are so su-
perior that those of other counties are not
worthy of consideration. 1t is asserted that
"every other county in the district has had q
member" while ~ Mon has never been honor
ed in that way, but its very existence ignored
except as its population has been counted in
making ,apportienments, and its votes counted
in determining uajorities." And AGAIN.
. This county is justly entitled to the candi-
date"-''let it be made the cause of the coun-
ty, not Of any particular person in the coun-
ty, and it seems to US the district will concede
to us the candidate at once" &c. This, we
repeat. is all very well /; but submit to our
friend of the Tribune, whether the facts of the
case will warrant Union in setting up an ex-
elusive claim to the coveted honor, or wheth-
er it is fair to pass to the credit of the Repuh-
lieans of Delaware county Democratic Con.
gressn,an in order to give coloring to their as
sertion that ''eyery other county hasebeen hon.
ored" in that way. Delaware is the senior o
Union by nuinbcr of years, indeed she is hel
mother she has nearly twice the population
| and gives nearly twice as many Republican
votes. Surely, therefore, she cannot with any
| propriety be thrown out of the ring in discus
sing the question of claim to Congressiona
honors especially when the same reasons tha
apply to Union viii apply with still greate
| force in the case of Delaware. Assert you
claims with becoming spirit, gentlemen, but ii
doing so do not disparage or attempt to ig
more those of your neighbors

"What will Garibaldi do 2" was the univer-
sal question when, less than a year ago, the
two Emperors concluded peace at Solferino.
That his restless and active spirit would not be
quiet till Italy was free, and that reasons of
State in other countries would weigh little with
him till that consummation was attained, was
the universal opinion. He has justified these
hopes and expectations, and has, ere this, it is
to be hoped, achieved the freedom of Sicily
1t is new complication of Italian affairs, not
without immense significance; and though we
need not stop to consider precisely what the
effect will be, we may, at least, indulge the
hope that it will be as wholesome and invigor-
ating as true courage and disinterested patriot
ism, when backed by cool judgment, always
are.-N Y. Tribune.
The latest dates from the scene of action
more than justify this hope OF the freedom of
Sicily by the great Roman General.

The CATTLE DISEASE IN PENNSYLVANIA
The disease which lately destroyed so many OF
the cattle in Massachusetts, and other of the
New England States, is said to have made its
appearance in Bucks county. Within short
time Charles Kitchener, a farmer of Bristol
township lost nearly all Of his valuable herd
of cows, of a complaint said to resemble very
much the dreadful cattle disease. If it should
turn out to be this malady, it win cause great
alarm among the farmers, and the necessary
steps should be Immediately taken to ascertain
its true character. OoMesto,pn Democrat.

SUDDEN DEATH BY EATING DRIED APPLEs
-Parents may learn solemn and impressive
lesson from circumstance which occurred in
East Wheeling on Saturday last. A little
child of er 5 summers was found byit moth
er, m spasms from some cause unknown and
mot suspected at the time. DR.. Hubb being
called, an emetic was administered and the
emission Of large quantity of dried apples,
soon after explained the cause of the chid,s
sickness. The mother had brought some of
that fruit from market in the morning and the
child had, without her knowledge, partaken of
It freely. It was of no avail, however, that the
child's stomach had been relieved the strug-
gle With nature had been successful, and in the
brief space Of an hour, a corpse was left the
parents instead of their darling little prattler.

ofplaeing improper articles of diet within
