Tlie causes of dissatisfaction being removed by tile lute election, the entire democracy bftho.CoUn ty.wilt now go. into a cordial support of the nomi nees for.Pfesideht aiul ’Vice Prcsijhml—-anil at the election on the 30th insU redeem old-mother Cum berland from the seeming disgrace which attaches to her character. ' We have conversed' with Vf number of gentlemen from different sections of the county, within a few dayß, and, the encouragement they give, warrants-us in predicting that bur friends elsewhere may confidently anticipate' the usual democratic majority to-morrow-week. In nearly nit tha townships,“numbers, of gooddemocrata were not out at the.late election—but this’ will not be.lhe case on the 30th. Then, when the great contest takes place,-wo have every assurance that our vote will be increased several hundreds in the county.; ~ ’ THE LATE, ELECTION* Wc promised last week to.furnish.the. reasons why the democratic,candidate, for Sheriff- was de feated in this county, and' also why it was that the balance of the,ticket was elected by so! m&lgro a majority. We vPillnow state'litemincandor and' fairness: In-the first place the events growing out of the recent session of the Legislature, bad rendered'all who wcre mcmbMs of it more or lessobnoxloue to the ■ popple—<mdihe m iafdrtuno wifi tbat.no d is-, crimination was made betwixt the. intaoceht and guilty- Hence tlic candidates, from this county came in"for a sharf ofthc odium which all had to beaf. ■’ . v . In the second place, the absence of Mr. McKin ney when Iho voto was taken on tbn Resumption Dill, and the recpivingof 'pay for tho tlrae Whicii intervened between the. regular aid extra sessions, although .he afterwards appropriated it to the bse of the county, were objectipns ih the minds ■of some honest democrats, who could hot be in dueed to supporthim thereof.— ThptecepUon of rpted agajnei hta election in the samemanttßr. - In the third 'place, Berious i diffidultieß grew out of.the notainafionforS^ erfits; hpifijr; o^pofied.llloYapy.;npnUnation. by.tha, county'Convention, sndpthersagainjhfivingtlieif favorims. being opposed; to' the nominee liimselfV in cdrtSeqUence df 'ibese objectiq'ps sdmo.d.id npt. vote at’filf fotSheriißf, and othßrs th'rougii.pera.onal friendBliip, whjch wafipatUcub the case in the three upper districts ■of Siiippenaburg', Leesburg ‘tlon candidate.

Nothing but the stem-und unyielding integrity, of theorem mass of' the party, who were deter mined to support the whole ticket formed by their County Convention, saved if;from a total'defeat. From present appearances the Sheriff elect will have his hands full insatisfying all the expectants for his favorsi We have already heard of some Jive or six applicants for Deputy, &c. nnd no doubt there will be os' many more by ihe time he is ready to enter upon the discharge of the duties of his office’ There will doubtless bo a good many wry faces amohg tho disappointed ones, and the sooner the Sheriff disposes of tho matter, the better it wUI be for himself.

Softly, gentle sirs, the election is still in tho future—and you may yet find that you “hallooed before you wore out of the woods.” You have catfjed Ohio, Maryland, Georgia,- and probably New Jersey— but you carried all' these in 1836—and yet Mr. Van Burch was elected!

The -Democracy arc not to bo frightened by senseless huzzas!'. - - The Federalists, it is believed, have carried the State elections in Georgia and Ohio, the latterby a 1 irgo majority. In the former, the Federal candi dates for Congress were pledged against a National Bank,'a High Tariff, Abolition, and all the lead ing measures of the Federalists of the North.— At the Presidential election, however, when the choice is to bo made betwixt Van Suren and Har rison, no doubt is entertained .by our friends'thcre, blit that Democracy will bo triumphant. The State went against Van Buren in .1830, by 3,772 majority. , : ■- • In New Jorgey, it Is impossible to tell which party has succeeded, as in several of the Demo cratic counties, no opposition was made to the Re publican ticket, —and.in some of the Federal coun ties the Democrats made no opposition-. This State went for Harrison in 1836 by a majority of 545. The result at’the . Presidential election is now considered doubtful- ’ Hafrison’a majority: in Ohio, in 1835, was 8.- 457. At obr democratic meetings in , the Borough Some of the pimps,opi tjricu of Federalism are in the habit of attending, for the double purpose, no doubt, of Seeing who is thete, add of carrying back the .information, with a pack.' of lies to boot, to their employers. One of-.these fellows' received .a polite. hint at the mcetingat Beotem’s,bn Saturday night, to re tire from the room. ’Ho. took the hint, and. mpde hieexUaccotdingly;butiwoare-informed,-hns since threatened that lie will attend our. next meet-' ing, ARMED \yiTH PISTOLS, and lhat ho will shoot down the. first;Demporatj who.insults- him!
