But. now, circus ridltoj in all its departments has been re duced to a seien;, and excites no more surprise. to sec a man riding on .his head than in any other • Way. Bat the iMproectnint is not wholly confined to that class of persons: in politics double sotnmersets, and siding two hurses and even three at once, is still 'pre common and Em more amusing - . It is an old and tine saying that men change, but principles nev er. The selC•styled Democratic party of the country have always boasted, like a certain church, that they were always the same: that their parts is founded on the launutable principles otripht; and consequently that there can be: ho change till the party ceases to beDemocratic. , Oire Taint his premises and it is said he can prov e; northing. Last week we showed, by the action of, the, Democratic , leaders down to 1850, that neithell A:lt - cry-extension over free testi ' tory, nor the Fugitive Slave law, was Democratic, but, in every view of the case, entirely the opposite. We now propose to show the action of Congress,zt. ter the establishment of the ordinance of 178:4 and to follow it up by letting our readers see the position of the Demt*rnticmirty in this County and DiStriet, till about the time of the nomination of Buchanan on the Cincinnati phmform in l 85G. • In 1803, sixteen years atter the ordinance 0f1787, the people of Indiana (then including not only that State, but also the present States of Illinois, Michigan and Wisconsin) applied to Congress for a suspension as to that Territory at the compact of 1787, prohibi ting Sleeks- north of the Ohio. This memorial was te.hrred to a cenenittee of which John Randolph was ehainnas ; which committee reported that it was dangerous and ineipedient to impair n pro dein grimly Init. - anted to promote the happiness and prosperity-of the! northwestern country, and . tc give strength and security to that extensive frontier," and they added their belief dna in the salutary ope ration of this sagaciousand benevolent restraint, the inhabitants of Indiana would, in' no distant day; find aun i tie rentenemfion for a temporary r r ;ration of la bor and immigration. • This attempt to re-establish Slavery was repented in 1804, and again in 1807, but on both occasions' without success. The sulis•equeltt 'piosperity of the territory 'front ,which Slavery was estlbiled by the --ordinatice of has fully justified the tar-sighted policy of the men of that day who procured the passage_of the act, -and edadeanned that of those who asked for its repeal. At the time of the pietsage of the ordinance :of 1787., the State;of Virginia oonetined te.zi tuneaas swam isilisiiitants has that shale territory; last year die five States fc;rmed out of that territory polled more votes than titi whole Slave States of the Union. The'Tepeel of the . Missouri ComprOMise opened a new era in polities. The Fugitive Slave law was but -a 'feeler to what the North would stand; eontiequently, when' the public mind had become in a measure set tled, the Democratic party had accepted the law as ane uk in the party platfCwin. The Kansas-Ne braska bi pat forward as another feeler. The patient,- alrea so l re from the last application, gave 'most unmistakable signs of refusing to •submit to another of the same kind; consequently thousands of Northern politicians concluded to , !` lay late for a whfie, and endeai.er to bdng the people' into it-by degrees. Juitlonk at the position of the Dognocracy .of iliis County while the bill was pending before Con gress. A-paperaits circulated containing a call for meeting . of the citizens of the County ; and that there may be no misunderstanding we will insert this call and a Portion or the names attached thereto "THE PEOPLE'S MEETING." "To Protest against Slavery in Nebraska." 0 The citizens ofi, Susquehanna county, who area op pased to the violation of the Missouri Compromise and the extension of Slave territory, arc invited to preen at the Court House in Montrose, on Wednesday the Bth day of March nest, at one o'clock in the after noon- to utter their stern protest against the threat ened breach of faith .by the repeal or the .

No one who then signed thEcall thought it improper for Judge Wilmot to-respond to the call of his fellow citizens, and addles:4' theni upon the great question of Freedom and Slat•ery. Then . for ." Border Ruff ians" to force Slavery into Kansas was not Demoerat ic tinnily it is; therein lies the difference. The Democratic, Convention that assembled in March 1854, and nominated Bigler for Governor, re fused to take any lawition whatever upon the subject, but adjourned without passing an; resolutions at all, and went before the people, claiming to be both for and.against the repeal of the. Missouri Compromise, as Was most populer iii the.tlifferent Coe. Bigler, in his ,ranvass through the State, took the same course. In the central and ,southern counties he was in favor of the Pierce rulniKstiation and its course in relation to Slavery ;•:, and ..In the North and West he was eitherAtilent or took groundin favor of freedom. In his speech at; this place, in A ngnst 1854, ,his great effort was to' show that . the question was not an is.que in the gubernatorial contest; that the issue Should arid - would be made on Congress; but he shotild be let alone. - Bnt he declared mast ex plicitly that, ifite had been in Congress, he would have voted again+, the repeal, and in favor of keeping things its they were. That was used as an argument by his friends, dining the Whole canvass. They said, "Governor Bigler would .have voted against the re- Veal had, ire been in Congrei.s, and whit more could be asked of him ?" That argument prevailed with many. Bigler received many free-soil votes, 'which, had his real position been understood, would have been cast against him, with a will. • The Dlinrerat. the Bigler organ', in this. County, went to the greatest extreme in the adVocacyof free soil doctrines; rind when its editor found he was dis trusted by many, he claimed that he had written three lines of free-soil to our one, and tqt those who al leged that the Democratic party was not what it pro fessed to be on that qttestion, belied ii for selfish ends. Just look at some of. Chase's editorials during the Summer and Fall, and especially just before election, when he hoisted the name of old Tom Benton for President in 1854. • Soon after the .election' of 1854, the Democrats of the County professed to see a herein: the power had derirted from thent. • Their Convention,• the Fall previous, had committed a•great error in not waking a platform and passing resolutions, .and that error they were determined to rectify; 'consequently, at January Court, 1835, a general tneethig of COO part) was called, for the purpose of laying down a platform and passing a set of resolutions that should be land niarks for them, so plain and distinct that the most sh plc man in the party should not he left without a gut it his future course..., We have not the pro c . • sof the meeting before us, and are therefore. unable to give the names of the men who figured as officers and getters-up of the resolutions, Lc.; but from our recollection, the treater part were - the same men who are now figuring . a ith Douglas, Atehison,, & Co. to oVetride the Free State men and force Slavery'.. into Kansas.' The resolutiolut were of the most ultra Free-Soil stamp. They took most emphatic ground against the repeal : of thellissonriCompromise, and the spread of Slavery ouer territory made free by that compact. We ask our readers to look at the resolutions, anti See if they would nottuurwer, " to It T," fort Republican Convention of the present time. The - veich& Made at that Convention were also of nomrC Ittyjc.—lrrt.V-Plall up to *La arm': then no . ilings at Black Republicanisni. The wicked K. Na,' and their pro-slavery tendency, was then all the bui•den of their song. • Were the Demoetatic par ty pledged by the resolutions passed at the ? January meeting,lBss ? There as really but one party in 4he County, and that was tlie one for freedom. They !then Supposed the Know Nothings were to trs - . their 'real opponents. Who exulted louder over the tri umph of Simard over the Know Nothings, than the ifontecitc lirmarral and the whole party ? Seward was then one efthe truest men anti prirest patriot. in the nation, and his triumph over "Sam" was herald- _ ed ds a great victory. - Let any' one recall , what_ has since transpired, •and he will see a reason for the course then taken bythe paity leaders. Itcpuldienisin was then in its isrtancy. They supposed the Know Nothiiis wire to bellit'ir opponents ; hence their loud proCcEsiOns of free-soil. They knew the people were -with them on that ques tion,.and that by . the time they were required to turn a summerset and :go in for the Slaiedrivers and the Nebraska bill, they would hare time to look about them, and by a process of legerdemain, induce the greater part of their followers. to take the back track. Take the resolutions passed at the meeting of the 4th of March, 1854, and contrast •thent with the present position of the Democratic party, and see how they look. There are Gut two ways for the party leaders to get out of their present pacition: one is, to own up that the whole thing was done for effect to prevent the party from going in a body to the Republicans, and the other is, - that they were ignOrant at the - time of what was true Democracy, tnd wliat were the con stitutional rights 'of the different sections, but since that time their Southern brethren have bad the_good ness to teach them what true Democracy is,and what their duty as Democrats is towards their leaders. the Slarehoklers, their SoutheCri brethren. Let them take either horn of the dilemma, and it shows them totally unfit to lend or direct public sentiment. In the first case, they me too corrupt to be entitled to the least confidence, and in the second place too doughfaced to Jead'anything with a thinilAc-fall of brains. We, consider any further. notice of Mr. Chapman's , priposterouS allegations of unfairness in the Republican County Conven tion quite unnecessary ; but a cOrresprtrident reminds us Orthe filet that Wm. C.

Co/Suer/6ton; (in Iwhich case we should ' have eheetfully supported him) Mr. Tiffanyirould haVe had better Cause for opposing the ticket than'Mr. Cl.qplnau now 'has— but would he have done it? • We may add that Harvey Tyler' and James P.

Overreaching Themselves: The Black Repel)Haim; of Susqlieliarina county, one of the counties of Mr. Wilmot's 'District, confident of having the strength to haVe :everything • their - own way, went to work; and not only nominated an out-arid-out Republic-an county ticket, calling the Conven tion which nominated it such, and thereby ex. eluding all-the Old Line Whigs and Ameri cans from all participation in it, but actually placed a Foreign Romanist, by the name of O'Neal on it for Register and Recorder, who had no vote at the last- October election in consequence of not having then yet his natu. . ralization paper s. As' the last feather breaks the camel's hack, so this last.outrage and in sult has produced an open revolt. Those not Republicans, though opposed to Loco Fucoism, see now the real character of Black Republhnnism to be; to elect Wilmot,' by the aid of .American and Whig votes, while they mean to keep themselves aloof front supporting Atillward, or any man not a Black Republican. Seeing this they have made war on , the county ticket, with the yearling Romanist on it.-Philadelphia Daily News. To the lying .soaundiel who penned the above we reply, that the Republican patty and the Sham Democracy are the only par ties in Susquehanna county, there being prob ably nova dozen ipen in the county who do not, belong to the one of the other; that our. candidate fur Register and Recorder is not a foreign Romanist, nor any other kind of Ro manist; that his name is not.

I merely v.-Wi at this time briefly to reply to a few of the erroneous views put forth to my prejudice, so that My appeal may go fair ly to the people through the same, medium that carries the impeachment of my motives in standing before than as "anlndependent candidate. I will p;ny liver the attempt to I ..inake'me -appear inconsistent, by Copying the article which I among others. was induced to sign two years ago, deprecating the. running of Cl. Smith of Wyoming,- Representa tive, hoping an intelligent public can see the I difference between choosinglegishitors Whose laction may give tone end .shape to thepoliti, Cal policy ofthe_state. end nation, (and espee-, ! aidly so, -when an exciting contest for a U. S. Senator was pending, to be decided thereby,) and the . mere choice of a Regist-er of Recorder of Deeds for the county, hav ing no.more voice or influence in the great political questions of the day, than any other humble citizen on his farni or in his work shop, Great4urprise has been expressed by the Rein&liens?, (to which I had nt . ;rooni to re ply,) that-I should still submit my name to the 'public; after submitting it, as ttis alleged, to the Convention.. And the wonder is reit- . crated, how I ran justify myself in my course. Well, t'aen, if it 'be such a. matter. of wonder and surprise, why not let• the pink see my justification? Before. the .nomination I' am_ told it watcharped upon to my prejudice here and there, that .my first card did not AL mit Me to .111 y Ccutvt.tdo . 1 1 . Arid beembe - I did not Viol e a prineMemaintained by me fur. years as an • or; , :igaiiiSt making sub 'mission to a CenVention _beforehand, abso. lutely beyond all' possible appeal, my Card was - denounced as defying the Convention, when its express langinige was that I did not mean to defy it. And because' I toot; no pains to influence the choice of delegates anywhere, but left the people to doi their own work, while I kept quietly at mine, lir the office, am told it was circulated mnong - them when they met that I had not •seeured a sirigle del. egate and - probably .would rot have my name presented at all, as I had not personally ask ed any one to present it.. Now they talk of my "submitting my name" to that body, 11.3 if I had done it, all myself; and. thereby pre cluded any 'appeal to the people. • • Iff.' • Now I disclaim zany design to- injure the party or its candidates,. nor do -I object :to anything said by its organ in support of the ticket.. If it will only leave me and my mo tives to the unbiassed judgment of the pee pl‘f tiare not if it spend its whole energies in magnifying the merits of my competitor on that ticket, as a gentleman, and as - being full Jour gea rs a - voter in the - state. I will not contend that he has not acquired in that time a stronger claim on the county than those who were born within its limits,.or re sided here must of.their lives t - I wili not even impeach the motives of the ( delegates who preferred- him—whetherihe notion that the i articular. location (which furnished a riegister.,and Ilet:order only a few years-ago 'and a candidate for the Ace lust time,) was a paramount consideration,' or whether it was so indispensable that he must. -have some. of- ' lice, that if he could not get the one for which only the people had heard of him as.a date, he must be pushed for the next in suc cession till he got one somehow.. I will not even controvert the notion - put, forth, that the Convention might have made up a. ticket en tirely of caedidates not; before named, or call- . ed. for by any expression of the people; but I ask, is this the true object and design of a .delegate'systern ?. Does a representation by delegates (the essence-of true Ilepublicanism)- imply that they are to assume the responsi bility of taking the whole matter.thus out of tho hands of the people, and then' to cap the _climax, : make their action 'absolutely beyond appeal ? so, what-need of the expense 'of an election by the people? . The true_ point at issue is, whether a nomi nation so made, is such a " reflection of the popular will" as was contemplated, and whether it is so final, that no portion of the people may urge me to remain a candidate, and that 'I have no .right to comply with that wish, even long enough to inquire what the " popular Will" really is. - Ido . not. pretiind to say the FitiPle may 'not make 'a nomina tion they had no where previously called for, their own choice afterwards, but this is the very point I desire to subunit. Wherein is it any more culpable for me thus's° stand on an independent platferm at: ter my name has been use . in the Convention (without my egeney,) for a second' term in ofliee sr than it was for Hums FINCH to sub mit himself for a fourth term-after his name had Been likewise used 1 Or why more 'so, thau for G. 0, Eldred to submit to beim!)

Look at the . case' of Mr. Finch. While he had 441 majority ; (when the vote of the county was but half as large as now,) the suite ticket of, the party in ptiwer was not=affectesrby it at all, but ceheir Canal Commissioner had over 900 majority. So had their candidate for Governor. nearly, 700inajtirity when Mr. Eldred had over 900 majority fur Sheriff.. And as for. the appre hended danger of electing 'the Democratic candidate if there are three in the field, how can that be, if as some fay, I am to be sup ported more by Democrats than .Republi cans ? At all event!, 1 will Agee to absolve any one from any obligation of'voting fur me, if when the time arrives he has reason to fear any frustration . of the ‘.‘ popular will" by that 4 means. 'The sum of the whole matter is this. If a majority of the people of this county desire my continuance in this office for another term, they have a -right to say so by their votes.
