THE DEMOCRATIC NoaINArIoNs.

The Democrats, at their Convention held last
week, nominated MICHAEL WoRTz, Of Union
Township, for Commissioner. HIRAM DAVIS of
St. Clair, for Director Of the Poor, and DAVID
EVANS, of Monroe, for Auditor The Congress
sional Conferees were instructed to support A. Fl.
CoFFRoTH, forre-nominatiou. Conferees were IN
stlucted to support B. f. MYERS for the Iegisla-
ture. F. NJ, KBniELL was recommended for
President Judge. These nominations appear to
be all correct excebt the last. We suspect there
must be some mistake about the nomination OF
Judge Kimmel. The Judge is ''War" Demo
erat, and when here at the last Term of Court fat
" refused to speak at the peace palavar held in
the Court House on that occasion. A eommitteela-
bored long and earnestly with him, .ndeavoring in
vain to persuade him just to say word We
hear that he win not accept any honors from the
peace wing of the Democrats
CofFroth has richly earned a re- nomination He
has been faithful in villifying the purest public
men in the country He DETAINED in the most gross
and indecent manner, in a speech made in the
Court-House, in May, the young women engaged
in teaching at Port Royal he has been true to
his Southern brethern He lately voted and made
atooiist speech in Congress against an amendment
to the Constitution abolishiug African Slavery
the cornerstone of the Copiederacy" He oppos-
ed the repeal Of the Fugitive Slave law, and Of
course voted against it if he was in a condition to
be in his seat when the vote was taken These
acts and speeches make him dear to every friend
of a despotic tyranny, and entitle him to the firm
support of every sympathizer with treason and
disunicn. Mr.. Myers is alsoentitled to are-nom-
ination upon about the same grounds that Mr..
Coffroth IS He has done everything that could
be reasonably expected of him, to sustain the
Confederate States by weakening the confidence
of the people in the cause of the Union by misrep-
resentation, and the constant suppression of i'm
portant facts showing theadvantages and victories
we are so often gaining over traitors aud treason
We think his nomination very right and, proper

GIVING AWAY.

There is pretty good reason for believing that
the great Rebellion is giving away in some quar-
ters in the North, as it has long since been giving
away in the South. JAMES BUCHANAN the most
useful abettor of the Rebellion in It's incipiency,
appears to be transferring his aid and comfort, 50
long given to the enemy, to the Union. He shows
disposition to make all the amends IN his power
for the great wrong he has done his country He
is now giving the aid of his extensive influence,
and large means, to the cause of the Union It is
stated on good authority that he has actually put
Fifty Dollars and his autograph to the United
States Sanitary Fair, at Pittsburg From this We
infer that great change has taken place lately in
the mind Of the "0ld Public FInctionary" Last
March his face was set against Sanitary Fairs in
general, and particularly against the one then
holding in Lancaster city, Committees waited upon
him in vain for contributions He could then do
nothing to aid and comfort the soldiers fighting

THE WITHDRAWAL OF GREENBAcKs.

The Philadelphia Inquirer, says We know Of
nothing better calculatedto inspire confidence in
the bonds, notes and other securities of the Nat
ional Government than the exhibit we made yes
terday of the reduced amount of Government
notes in circulation and the large ncrerse in the
National revenues The fact of reduction OF
the national currency to the extent of fifty-seven
millions within two months should have the eff
feet to appreciate the remaining circulation or in
other words to knock down the price Of gold and
and it would have that effect at once if it were
notfer the desperate combination arrayed against
the Government and the people in these gold
speculations Nevertheless, decrease in the cir
cuIation must bring abont fall in the price OF
gold sooner or later, and all wise business men
should set their houses in order accordingly.
The contraction Of the currency, which is already
in such handsome progress, as to continue For
the future the Treasury viii be supplied through
taxes, customs, and by the sale of bonds, and no
further issues Of currency viii be made The Sec
retary will be able to pursue this course, and con-
tinue his withdrawal Of 'greenbacks" and FIVE per
cent legatenders, because of the great increase Of
revenue from excise duties, which, with the duties
on imports are certain to swell our future annual
income to the amount of about three hundred
millions dollars. Here is the best foundation
in the world for credit On such basis the See
retary of the Treasury win be able to negotiate
bonds almost at VIII. With such ample provision
for interest and sinking funds, the Secretary viii
be able to meet his future obligations in bonds,
the Withdrawal OF the 'greenbacks'' win go on,
