| hear of occasional sales of property in
this city that would astonish people IN the
interior, or those who only know the for
mcr prices. One unimproycd lot and a
fraction over. making forty seven or forty
eight feet front by one hundred and twenty
feet deep. was sold lately as We learn. fer
$1,000 in specie, paid down. and this,
considering the present value of rents, WAS
really a good bargain for the purchaser
Oh course the lot thus sold is one among
the most valuable in the city, but there are
hundreds that are worth about as much
throughout the business part of the city.

At his residence in Chest township, on the 2lst
day Of August, 1850, WILLIAM McMAsTER,
aged 70 years.
The deceased was member Of the Baptist
Church, devoted Christian, kind parent, be-
loved neighbor, and beloved by all who knew him.
Peace TO his remains
In Osccola, Pa, August IA, 1866, Mrs NANCY
KEPHART, aged 65 years, months and IA days.
She gave her heart to God seventeen years ago,
and though surrounded by circumstances not en-
couraging, she showed 10 all, by her walk and
conversation, that she had been with Jesus and
learned of Him. Seldom did she enjoy the privi-
logcs of the sanctuary that she did not shout the
praise Of Him who had redeemed her. When
speaking in class meeting or lovc-cast she invari
ably spoke Of the power Of grace 10 sustain and
the confidence she had that God would keep that
which she had committed 60 Him even unto the
end. Ten days before her death, while in good
health, in the house Of God, she partook Of the
Sacrament. She burst forth in shouts of praise,
giving glory TO God, in her sickness, and in death
she triumphcd, giving ample evidence Of the power
Of the religion which she proicssed.

The wailings ofsuch impenitentren-
egades as Forney, Kelley, Cameron
and Geary, are enough to frightcn a
stranger and alarm the timid Their
vile abuse and SANDER of the Presi-
dent and his supporters is unboundcd,
and is driving the good substantial
men out Of their party by scores. All
who desire peace, harmony and Union
to prevail once more, and wish to be-
hold the high tide to which political
mountebanks and agitators have caus.
ed the political elements TO rise, sub
side again to their original bounds,
must forsake the party Of the Radi-
Gals, and unite themselves with that
party which has steered the ship of
State for sixty years safely across
every ocean.
The organs Of these disturbers of

Of the Presidential party for Chicago,
last week, says "The great Pardoncr

ney is one of the wrctches who de-
manded, in the palmy days of A. L.,
the arrest and Imprisonment of every
"Copperhead' who spoke disrespect-
fully ofthe government" And A. J..
himself, went so far as to declare that
the individual who remained silent
that did not laud and praise the "gov-
ernment," must be marked as an ene-
my-silence was treason. We won
der what would become of those
scoundrels if their own rules were en-
forced against them. All the day is
not far distant when the knees Of those
political prostitutes will smite each
other as violently as Belshazar's did
when he saw the hand write on the

We arc indeed ashamed Of The con-
duct Of the municipal authorities Of
our great city. They refused to ex-
tend the hospi;alities Of Philadelphia
TO the President, Gen. Grant, Admiral
Farragut and their suite, upon their
advent last week. The reason for
this gross insult to the Chief Magis-
trate of the Nation, and to the heads
of the Army and Navy, is because the
shallow minded creatures who control
the municipality, are accursed with
more "loyalty" and fanaticism than
reason and patriotism. Nowhere on
the whole route, from Washington to
Chicago, was the Presidential party
and the Nation insulted, except at
Philadelphia. A generalwelcome was
extended the party along the whole
route, New York of course, as in ev-
erything else, exceeding all. We hope
that merchants and business men, who
have a spark of patriotism left, will
make a note of this insult, and when
they 90 East again, leave "the city Of
brotherly love" either to their right
or left, and pass to the Monumental
city, or to the great Metropolis.

DrNocRAuc STAIR COMMITTEE Roous,

August 20, 1850.
To he People Of Pennsylvania,
The issues Of the canvas arc made
up.
The restoration of the Union and
the preservation Of your government
are the vital question that now con-
front you.
Secession is dead, but disunion still
lives. Slavery is extinct, but fanati-
cism survives.
The rights OF white men are sub
merged in efforts to elevate the negro,
and the black man is sought to be
made controlling element in the pol.
litics Of the Republic.
Capitalization seeks to rear its des-
lpotic power upon the ruins Of the Con
stitution, and foreshadows q war oi
races or its accomplishment
Prescription and disiranchisemeht
usurp the places of magnanmity and
clemancy and discord and hate combat
Christian charity and national concord.
Congress refuses to nourish the re-
sources necessary for payment Of the
debt Of the Republic, and loads with
taxation the industrial interests Of the
North Congressional extravaganza
is the rule; economy in public affairs,
the exception.
A AConvention Of representative men
from each of the United States has
met within the past week; they have
forecast the future, agreed in senti-
ment, and dispersed to their homes.
Their work has passed into history T;
to the impartial mind that work is a
perfect answer to the charge that the
South is not ready for restoration.
Composed of men Of every section,
holding every shade of political op'n-
ion, they have recommended the eter-
nal principles that lie at the base of
our institutions, have renewed their
VOWS of fcalty and of brotherhood,
and have joined hands in an united
effort to restore the Union and pre-
serve the government created by the
Constitution.
No man need err in this contest:
Support Congress and you sustain
disunion, attack your government, and
elevate the negro at the expense Of
your own race.
Support the President and you re-
store the Union, preserve your gov.
Iernment, and protect the white man.
On the one side are Stevens, Sum-
ner, agitation and disunion.
On the other, the President, the
Union, peace and order.
By order of the Democratic State
Committee.

If ever there was calibash ached

ried on the shoulders of that parasite
Forney is the one. We have less re-
spect for w. II. Seward than for any
other living man; because we belive
him to be a demagogue Of the first

enough against the personal rights OF
his follow-man to consign him to a
felon's den for life. Just now, how
ever, he is making partial restitution,

creature like Forney to announce
through his organ-the PreSs-his re-
gret and sorrow at Paynes failure to
murder secretary Seward, in April,
1865, is certainly an outrage and a
crime that none but devils can en-
tertain, or desire.

By reference to the proceedings Of
the Representative Conference, pub
ished elsewhere in this number, it
will be observed that this gentleman
has received the Democratic nomina-
tion for Assembly. Mr.. Hunt is one
Of the pioneers Of J efferson.county, re-
siding in that portion erected INTO
Forest, and is entitled to the suffrage
of every Democrat and conservative
voter in the District. His nomina-
tion surprised none more than our
self; yet he shall receive our undivided
support. Our county having declared,
by large popular vote, for one of our
own citizens, TT Mccullough, Esq,
we desired and expected that the con-
ference would give him the nomina-
ton but for reason entirely satisfac-
tory to all parties concerned, the
Conference saw fit to nominate a citi-
zen Of Forest county. To show the
Democrats of the county in what
spirit Mr.. Mccullough takes his de-
feat, we need but refer them to the
column in which the programme of
our meetings are published; and if
they wish to hear him, they need but
attend those gatherings TO learn his
opinion in reference to the nominee
and the aciinn nfthe Cnnference
