OuR CANDIDATE FOR CoyGREss.--By the .
proceedings OF the Congressional Confer .
cnce held at Ridgwoy on the 23d ult., our
readers will see that MLToS CouRrmdHr
Of Erie was nominated as the Democratic ,
candidate for Congress in this district.
( Mr.. Courtrght is not knswn as poliii..
clan but as an enterprising man Of busi'
ness, few men in our country ere more tas
yoraLly distinguished. lie has Eesn to
I the commerce and thoroughiares Of the
Lake country, what the Astors, the Grin.
nellS and the Copes have been TO the At
lantic Coast. lie was formerly an old line
whig-not active, or conspicious--but
steadily voting with that party until it
was swallowed up in the niterabe abstrac>
tions of knownothingism and Abolitione
ism.
Il 1t cam ot lie TINT majority OF the pco.
pie OF lDlS ulelE!Ct VIII NOIt lOl euOIl u
radical Abolition fanatic as Gleni w SEQ,
, field, the Republican candidate. In Mr..
{ Csur fright they have true Onion men--
such as Clay Webster, Silas Wight, aud
hosts cf olhers--who hcl that this is d
white mans government!
As strange us it may seem to many wLo
, me rely look n. the large Republican ma,
o iority heretofore polled in this district, We
4 have every reason to believe that the con,
= servati We element will arouse itself and
d triumphGntly elect the Democratic nomi.
t nee.
y TuE PRocLANAYIoys. Both the late
/. most extraordinary procamations Of Pres
II ilent lincoln will be found IN our 60,
umns to day, and to which we invite tho
" particular attention Of every reader.
= When the first was issued, it was clear
Y ly Iorcsecn that, in order to execute its
r requirements, something in the nature OF
the latter must follow. 1t was naturally
supposed when it was announced, tha,
- ali the slaves of TIE South were to be sci
c trec--perhaps to oyerrun the North, anC
d sEarve out'tho free white ubOrer the pee
Il pie would complain and protest, and
N hence, to prevent any such complaints
'e the second proclamation, rendering al
: such persons liable to military arrest, anr
n, suspending the privilege of the writ orha
=, beaS corpus in their cases was issued.
n Bot we have no space for comment
e. We look upon both these acts AS injuriou
II in every point Of view. As lonS as mel
iIes have brains, they will think; and it is ut
" terly impossible for The descendants {
ce the srcs of the Rev olution, not TO (pco
g, what they hint. Its their RlGur--bough

r thousand procIama:ions will not datc

II gsyeThe death Of Col. james II, Child
81 OF the 4th Penra., Cavalry, at the ba.t
of of South mountain, puts Lieut., Col. jam
as l., Kerr, of Franklin, in commmand {
It the regiment.
s. Our readers will recollect that Col. Ker
eo is the gentleman that was defeated f
nn o Congress by Gen, Patton two years ago.
n, How di ficrent the avocation Of tho I,
O. individuals since while the former h1
ne been hazardng his health and his life ioI
al year past on the battle field, to suppros
le rebel lion, and restore the Union the la
he ter, in common with other Abolitionist
ed has contributed his mite to distract an
VA dismemberit. Further comment is VI
Id necessary. They both have record an
he the public may peruse them.
