A ChiYalP0us Demonstration on

4 Nan nearly ChoEect 70 Dsatb because
he be!ieccd Gorcrnor Wise to be as
great FDol as ledH Broru.
Albertis Patterson, a citizen of West
Finley township, in this county, happen
ed to be at Ha!peytown, a small village
in Virginia, situated uear the line that
divides that state from this county, on
or about the 10Th ult.,. and was accosted
by three Of the chIvalrous citizens of that
region, named Scaten, Caldwell and
Wherry, and interrogatated as to his po-
ltieal opinions. lie replied that he was
q Know Nothing, when bis interrogaters
charged him with being BLACK Rcpub-
lican or abolitionist' and asked him if
he did not sympathizc with John Brown.
To this he answered that he was a Re
publican, and as for John Brown, he
'beIieyGd that GovernQr Wise was as big
a foo, as he W2s." Upon making this
deqIayation, he was violently seized by
Scaton and Caldwell, rope was prccur-
ed, !ooped and thrown around his neck,
and the desperaloes Immediately pro-
ceedel to slrangle him, which they most
unqueStionabiy would have succeeded in
doing, had tnot been for the interference
of two men nawcd Armstrong and BE.
mer who happened 70 be on the street at
the time. When Patterson was rescued
from his brutal aSsaiIants, his face was
black from strangulatiop, and his neck
bruised and discolored by the abrasion Of
she rope.
The scoundrcls, we are sorry to say,
escaped unpuuished; but should any such
DEMONSTRATIONS be made in future by ihe
chivalry of that region we are assured
the ruff!ans will be hanged to the nearest
limb. They will find that Haineytown
Is nQt Chaflestowp, although both viii
lagos are within the jurisdiction of the
Old Dominion, whore every petty post
master and country squire is, e.r oticio,
inquisitor of the opinions Of his neigh hor.
But Haineytown catches some of the
healthy breozes of independence from our
western boundary, and it is not quite a
safe experiment there to choke people to
death, even for believing that his iato
excellency, Governor Wise, is a. little
weak in the upper story.

ling a State Committee for tie ensuing
year-and. so far as this county is
concerned, was endorsed as opposed
to the very scheme which We are con-
demn:ng in this article. If he pursues
the policy advocated by the Agttotor-
(and we receive the article we are crirI-
cising as indicative of Mr. Baldwin 5
views l--how are we to hold him "direct-
lily responsible -? He is the creature OF

been presented by Tioga and aeqepted BY

as, cnnferee would represent us direct

votes in the conference, we would be
bound to submit, he being the creature
Of oar election. We are confident that
both of the representative delegates from
this district, Messrs Ross and vii
iiston, viii vote against the scheme
under notice, and we trust that the Sen
atorial delegate will sustain them BY his
vote; for We firmly believe it TO be the

"IV. The election of the delegates by

ventions in another, Is unequal, undemo-
cratic, aud we think un ust."
To both Of the above arguments we
have already Indirectly replied; and as
our article is already more lengthy than
we intended, we will dismiss the subject
now, with the hope that majority of the
convention will overrule this scheme of
neutralizing the voice of the people in a
measure e of SO much Importance as the Sc
lection of candiIate for President; but
should they not, we can not consistently
do otherwise than give cheerful :ubmis
sion to the dictunr of the majority, while
we protest that their power is misapplied,
and is anti-repubIican in its tendency and
practice.

Democratic Economy EXem-
DIffiGd.

The Harrisburg correspondent Of the
Pittsburg Gn@eHe, under date Of the Tth
inst, writes as follows:
The Board of Revenue Commissioners
is now in session Politically, it stands
Is Democrats to Il Republicans. Its
members were appointed by the Judges
Of the respective districts, and their ap-
poiutment was lodged there tor the pur-
pose Of removing them as far as possible
from political Influences; but the Demo
cratic office holders ousted by the Repub
lican ascendancY in both branches Of the
Legislature, took advantage Of this acci
dental majority in the board, and sue
ceeded in inducing the Democratic mem
bers to create hpst of little offices for
their accommodation and elect them BY
the force Of party drill. Tie 10 Demo
cratic members accordingly met in eau
Gus, chalkcd out the new offices they
would create, and on Monday put tho pro-
gramme through By strictly party vote
They elected a Clerk aud two assistants,
a Sergeant-at-Arms and assistant, Door
keeper and assistant, Messenger, page,
and so on. No previous board has had
any such array Of offices, and they got
along very comfortably with less than
half the number; but hungry looofocos
must be provided for at the expense Of
the State
This is what may be called fair ex-
emPlifeation of the economy of the Bu-
chanan part. The party forms itself in
to a caucus, and on motion of the Hon.
Richardson l.. Wright, of Lpzerne, late
Democratic candidate for Auditor Gene
raj Of the State, suggested that Inasmuch
as the success Of tho Republicans N the
Legislature had withdrawn the pap
spoons from "our mpAths,' it was but
,c-right that now, having a majority of
the Board, they ought to take advantage
of the fact and create lot of Offices for
hungry Democrats. The suggestion was
adopted, and tho result is practical
demonstration of.the bQasted love the Lo-
cofocos have for the dear peoples inter

MILITARY MREgTSG.-An adjotrned
military meeting will be held at the State
Capital Hotel, this evening, to farther
consider the propriety of amending the
present militia law Of the State.-LurrtS-
Jnrg TEL yaa %.
The best way to rerise the military law
will be to aJoiiSh it. Ia this section OF
the State it is universally dotested Il
Is in fact perfect nuisance to all classes
Of our citizens-civiI and military for it
has not one redceming. qualifession 1t
has failed in every particular TO accom-
plish any good purpose. The commuta-
ton tax imposed is onerous and difficult
to collect, and what little is collOcted is
barely sufficient to pay the expensesof a
few salaried officers, whilst the volunteer
corps VINO we're expeetcd to receive the
benefit have had little or DO pecuniary aid
such as was anticipated. In view Of the
whole matter, therefore, the law IS Of no
material benefit to the military whilst it
is an operous burden upon the citizens
and the cause of much pcrplexity. And
it is the hope of all classes here that it
may be abolished at an early day
.HeadcUIc J0urRQk.
We endorse the above remarks of the
Journal and hope the measure will be
generally oanvassed by the press Of the
State.

pass on to briefly consider the second and
third points of the Agitator's second ex-
cuse. The plea that conferences would
be controlled by designing politicians
carries with it but little force when put
forward as an argument in favor of giving
ia Convention powers not originally dele
gated, or intended to be delegated, to it.
There Is certain design in asking that
the Pennsylvania State Convention shall
appoint delegates to the Chicago Couven-
ton, and that design is to enable a unit
of Pennsylvania delegates for Mr.. Cam,
eron. And yet press in the interest of
Gen. Cameron fears th@t the immediate
and instructed conferees of the people
would be controlled by "designing poll,
tcians !" What consistency is there,
then, iR the Agit"toTS argument, under
spoh circumstances
AS to holding our delegates directly
responsible, we are of the opinion that it
could be done with great deal more eff
6ciency in county Conventions and dis
trict conferences, than in a Convention
made up without reference to the OBJ
ject to be effected For instance, our
Senatorial delegate halls from TiCga was
