A Mee1fng.

A few of the ultra Douglasites Of this coun-
ty, whose motto is rule or ruin, held meet
ing IN the Court House in this place. on last
Saturday, for the purpose of appointing dele
gates to the Harrisburg Convention. The
attendance was very small, and the proceed
ings dull and spiritless. Livery thing was
regulated and conducted by the learned dis
ciples of Blackstone in and about Etensburg
There was scarcely an individual present,
from Munster, Washington. Summerhill,
White, Richisnd, Croyle, Conenaugb, Jack
son, Taylor, Cambria, Carroll, Ci.est, Sus-
quehanua, or Allegheny townships. 1t would
perhaps be more correct to say that nearly
all of them were entirely unrcpresented.-
The Ebens5urg politicians being on ''their
native heath" Of course ruled the roast"
and had all the arrangements for appointing
the delegates cut and dry before the meeting
assembled A little private caucus, had ar
ranged the whole natter few evenings pre-
vious, and the meeting was merely held for
the purpose of making the arrangement look
well on paper.
Something was said in the meeting about
compromise with what was styled the Breck-
enridge Democracy. P. S. Noon Esq, spoke
against any movement of the kind He was
opposed to all compromises, and would agree
to none. Very we'll gentlemen, if it must be
SO, so be it, Our Castles strength will laugh
a siege to scorn as along as yours, and proudly
conscious that We are in the right, we have no
disposition to beg for favors at your hands -
1t is not impossible that if proposition had
been made to the Democratic County Com
mittee at the proper time, for an honorable
compromise, it would have been favorably re-
ceived. 1t is likely its members would have
felt it to be their duty, to sacrifice something
for the sake of the country and party, and in
doing SO We doubt not they would have been
| sustained by their constituents But no prop
| osition of the kind was made to them. and
consequently their only course was to appoint
four delegates to the Convention. Those del
egates are the representatives of the true De-
mocracy of this County. The delegates
appointed BY the disorgauizers on last Satnr-
day will doubtless contest their seats. But
we have too much confidence in the men who
will compose the Convention, to suppose for
moment that they will be successful -
Messrs- Murray, Adams, Luther, and White
are the regularly appointed delegates from
this county, and consequently as such should
at once be admitted

Notwithstanding secession and the
hard times, the work of improving our town
promises to go on during next spring and sum-
as briskl = as usual. Mrs. Eliza Mcdonald,
intends erecting large brick dwelling house
on High street. one door west of the Logan
House, and Mr. Edward ], Mills who recent
ly exchanged the property he now occupies,
for the property of Mr.. Rodgers nearly oppo-
site the ''A.cade," intends erecting large
frame front TO the present building. The
erection of steam planning mill on an extern
sive scale will be commenced in the spring
by one of our en:erprizing fellow townsmen.
We also learn that Mr.. Edward Roberts con
templates erecting large brick dwelling
house and store room. Other buildings are
talked OF, and doubtless win soon be contrac-
ted for.

preservation Of the Union. Mr. Lincoln may
then talk eloquently about his love for the
Union. but there will be but little use in his
doing so, after all hope. of preserving it have
been abandoned. His present course proves
that if not very weak man, he does not love
his country.
But the richest part of his Pittsburg speech,
is that portion of it which refers to the Tariff.
He acknowledges that the Tariff plank of the
Chicago platform, is open to two construc-
tioDs, thereby 'couceding that the object of
its trainers was to gull and humbug the peo-
pie of Pennsylvania, He also acknowledges
that be does not understand the subject, but
will make bimself familiar with it as soon as
he is inaugurated. What a statesman and
does not understand the Tariff question -
The people should have known this before the
election. Why there is not we'll posted pol
itician in Pennsylvania, who does not under
stand it thoroughly. 1t Is subject which
has agitated the nation for years, at one time
threatening to dissolve the Union, and was
discussed in Congress while Mr. Lincoln was
a member of that body and yet he publicly
acknowledges that he does not understand it
thoroughly enough to risk al opinion concer-
ming it. It's oar opinion that after his in
auguratioD, it will be necessary for him to
brighten up his ideas on many subjects Of
more immediate Importance than the Tariff,
and that at the expiration of his term of of
fee, be will know as little about it as he does
now

T From Harrisburg We learn, that on
last Saturday. the bill repeating the three mill

TRExLER, Esq, at the advanced age of 81

Esquire Trexler emigrated tc this county
about the year 1902. and settled IN one of the
wild cliffs of the Allegheny Mountains. By
incessant toll and laoor, he made the "wil-
derness blossom" Where he once opened a
small clearing. with no neighbors but the
screaming panther and tho bowling wolf, he
dwelt, leading pure and blameless life, and
died surrounded by his immediate descendants,

wealth. He has gone to bis eternal reward.

y The election in this place on last FRI
day, resulted in Republican triumph. We
do not think it worth while to publish the re-
turns, as they are all on one side. like the
handle of a jug. George w. Brown was
elected Constable, David J Evans Burgess,
Richard I. Davis Assessor, David J. Jones
and Hugh Jones School Directors. No As
sistant Assessors elected, there being a tie
vote between three of the candidates. Want
of union and harmony in the democratic ranks
accounts for this sweeping victory of the Re-
publcans.

THE CLOSING YEARS OF LIFE are
often rendered wretched ailments which are
trifing in themselves and easily cured if ta-
ken in time. Affection of the liver, stomach
and other organs concerned digestion, are
the most frequent. They naturally make the
sufferer nervous, irratable and complaining,
and relatives and friends are for to bear the
brunt of their ill-humor. The use of Hostel
ter's Celebrated Stomach Bitters will prove
an efficient remedy for this evil. 1t will not
only strengthen the physical organization.
but entirely cure the complaint. The first
physicians in the country are loud in their
praise of this preparation. Another recon-
incubation of the Bitters is that it is SO palit-
able to the taste that it may be used even as
beverage.

Horrors Of Civil War.

As warning to the American people at
this time, they should read the history of the
French revolution and contemplate Its horIi-
ble results. The extent TO which blood was
shed during its continuance will hardly be
credited by the present age, but it is correct
ly stated that the number of victims reached
one million twenty-five thousand, three hun
dred and ffty-one. OF this number, eigh-
teen thousand, six hundred and three, were
gullotined BIZ the order of the Revolutionary
Tribunals; thirty-twO thousand were victims
under Carrier. at Nantes thirty-two thous-
and at Lyons; three thousand four hundred
women died of premature child birth three
! hundred and forty-eight in childbirth from
! grief; aud there were slain, during the war
! in Da Nendee, nine hundred thousand men.
/ fifteen thousand women, and TWENTY-FIVE
thousand children. In this enumeration are
not coDprehended the massacres at Versailles
at the Abbey, the Carmes, and other prisons,
on the 2nd of September; the victims shot
at Toulon and Marseilles, or the persons that
were slain in the little town of Bedoiu, OF
which the whole population perished
