and from these figures attempt to prove that
the Dettiocratic Tarty has lost strength during

Monier received some 5,000 votes less than
Governor Bigler, that, therefore, the party has
sustained a loss-equal to that number. They
forget, however, to state the vote of Governor
Pollock and Mr. Nicholson, which shows that
Mr. Nicholson received 54,000 votes less than
did Gov. Pollock. If Mr. Pluiner's falling 5,-

it is not improper to state, that LEONARD

ter at Heidlersburg ; but not residing in the
village, he has been in the habit of deputizing
sonic resident of the town to keep the office
there, and attend to its duties. The reason
for the change which Mr. D. has recently made
is no doubt correctly given by- the I?epriblicats,
And “served him (Mr. R;) right" is a proper
verdict.

The Civil War in Massachusetts.
Our readers will notbe alarmed at the an
nouncement of a civil war in the heart of the
old Commonwealth of Alassachusetts. It is
not a war that will do harm to the masses of
the people, and yet it is a war most dire and
threatening in its progress. The eighty thou
sand rank and file of the sucked-in voters for
Gardner last year have got into a feud—Couldn't
help it—split into parties, and assume a terri
bly bellicose attitude towards each other. It
is quite pleasing -to see the fight, go on, espe
cially when you do not care which gets
whipped. But' they belabor each other at a
rate not at; all anticipated by the true patriots
and friends of the country. No :intelligent
man ever doubted the fact that Know-Nothing
ism was toucorrupt to hold together lone, but
few expected to see the war commence so soon,
and to hear such astounding truths told con
cerning the infamy of the whole party. This
family fight o'ershadows nil other matters in
the plitical field for the present. The Demo
crats are left with little to do except to look
on and behold the results of the warfare. The
two factions are performing upon each other
the very interesting operation said to have
been once performed by a certain pugnacious
pair of "foreign" cats! We doubt, however,
if in the end, even the "tips of their tails" will
remain. There is no remedy for them, except

INTIUMAN CONDUCT. —A few days ago Mr.
and Mrs. Ovens died of yellow fever in, Mem
phis, Tenn., leaving seven orphan children,
who were subsequently removed to a house
which had been rented specially for their ac
commodation. This - gave offence to the resi
dents in the vicinity of the house, and they,
foolishly fearing that the children might com
municate the disease to them, assembled to the
number of about 50, and after night compelled
the poor orphans to evacuate the premises and
go bail: to the house where their parents haci
died.

Ze'Report of the Speck e ir6mmiitee on tie
Recent Outrages in 11ie Nineteenth ffkird.—
The committee to whom was refvrred the ques

city, And at the 19th ward polls, on the day of
the special election, held on the 18th inst., beg to
REPORT:
That in trspirit of thorough justice they have
diligently sought to'get at the precise truth.—
To this end they have examined a great num
ber of persons who, during the day, had an
opportunity to see what did actually take place.
Without incorporating the certificates of those'
persons in this report they content themselves
with appending some of them, and stating
their substance, the letter of which is :
Ist. That prior to the election, members of
the Know Nothing order openly declared
"that the Democrats should not have the same
chance of voting at the approaching election as
they had at the last." -
2d. That among those who made this de
claration, invasive and destructive of Ameri
cana rights, was one of Me Know Nothing
Judges'ofelection of the-umrd-.-
3d. That persons legally entitled to vote,
and who did vote at the election, were re used
access to' the polls until wel {-know n prominent
leaders of the Know-nothing party, under the
assurance that they meant to vote that ticket,
asked and by the mere asking, gained them ad
mission to vote.
4th'. That persons as clearly entitled to vote
on every consideration as any others in the com
munity, were deprived of their votes because
of an impossibility to reach j,lie window.
sth. That whilst the, approach to the wins
dow was thus denied by a Know-Nothing
mob, composed of rowdies collected itom dif
ferent part's of the city, the Police of the city
was in attendance, some of wham, though re
quested to. do so, Would not defend the citi
zen in the exercise of his legal right of suf
frage, and some aiding and abetting the outrage.
6th. That a part of the city officers there as
sembled were and are persons notorious in this
community as among its worst citizens, hav
ing been known heretofore as rowdies, frequent
ly imperiling the lives of the people by inciting
and partaking in riotous and bloody affrays.
7th. That throughout the whole day it. was
manifest to every impartial observer that there
had been a .precencerted plan on the part of a
pOrtion of the city officers and other Know-
Nothings to take possession of the polls, and
to exercise such control as would secure, by
intimidation of, and interruption to, those op
posed to them,-the success o: their candidate.
Bth. That the "Mayor's police" were there
in attendance,'armed with revolvers and other

9th. That on the day of the election there
were removed into the, house of a city watch
man in the immediate neighborhood of the
place of the polls a quantity of guns. Of this
fact proof can be adduced if it shall become
necessary,; as we have written certificates of
respectable eye-witnesses to the fact, if denied.
We have thus briefly enumerated some of
the deplorable circumstances of the day, which
will ever remain disgraceful in the annals of
our city. We could add many others to the
sickening recital ; but these are sufficient to
awaken every sincere lover of the peace and
order of society to an alarming sense of the
danger which surrounds us. It is the people
of the city who pay . for the police,-and -not a
mere party ;and yet it seems that the idea has
taken possession of some misguided men, that
the entire public are to be taxed to sustain in
their midst, not a corps of conservatives, but a
gang of desperadoes, who, to sustain them
selves in their places, openly defy the law,
and rejoice in and encourage the maltreatment
of the citizens whose property is burdened to
pay them their salaries.
(17• The American Inventors, represented at
the Paris exhibition, have received about twen
ty gold and silver medals, which gives a medal
to every eighth exhibitor—a higher proportion
of first class medals than will be received by
any other nation. McCormick's reaping and
Pitts' threshing machines, Blanchard's for
bending wood, Singer's sewing machine,
Uoodyear's vulcanized India-rubber, Fowler
and Preterre, for artificial teeth, Richmond's
machine for — c - utting( - 1 - 1 - scgtea - of ers, an.
Maury's maps and charts, are among the ar
ticles which took the medals. Colt's guns
and pistols met with great opposition, and
many competitors from France and Belgium,
and he, in consequence, gets but a third-class
medal. Fairbairu, the celebrated engineer,
before the British Association, paid a marked
compliment to the, many new and useful in
ventions which he found at the Paris exhibition
by American contributors.

We have recently heard of an instance of
earnest devotion to "the good old cause," that
is worthy of public notice and commendation.
Jtist before the late election, Mr. Daniel Din
kle, of Paradise, was called away from home,
and found himself, on Monday, October 8, (the
day before the election,) at Winchester, Vir
ginia, ninety mites from his residence. He was
travelling in a buggy, with a horse that had
recently seen some rather hard service ; and
the roads, a great part of the way, were in bad
condition: Not to be deterred by such diffi
culties, however, he determined to vote—with
much labor he accomplished 55 miles on Mon
day—drove up to the polls late in the afternoon
of Tuesday, and contributed to the magnificent
majority rolled up in PARADISRI TOWNSHIP for
the Democratic ticket ! A NOBLE EXAMPLE
FOR ALL TREE DEMOCRATS—and an elo
quent rebuke to those who cannot find time to
travel a few miles on election day to sustain
principles they profess to cherish. All honor
to the staunch and energetic old-fashiOned
Democrat I—York Gazette.
ZJ - The Know Nothing organ at Washing
ton accounts for the defeat of its party in Penn

"le re urns in ica c a emocratic gain an
an American loss' in_the city of Philadelphia.
For this we were perfectly prepared. If the
Americans of Pennsylvania choose to repudiate
principles of national harmony, and commit
their fortunes to the miserable raft of A boll
tionisin, patched up by such tricky workmen as
Wilmot, Johnston & Cu., they cannot expect
the sincere friends of the Union and reform to
continue in their company. Thousands have
either passed into the Democratic organization
or are standing in indignant neutrality, amidst
a fraudulent war of faction, no one of which
can claim much precedence in rascality over
i tscompetitor."
