Senate. By receiving the en tire federal vote and voting for himself, he suc ceeded in accomplishing hia baskjiurposea. Wo happened to be in the Senate chamber when this .disgraceful scene took place. Alter the vote had been announced, Best was led to the Speaker’s chrtir, and in ascending the platform-presented the appearance of a criminal mounting the scaffold. In. liis attempt to address therSenate, lie shook likb*a reed in tho wind—hie words were broken and Interrupted, like' the.accents qf ,*a man- in dia pafr, and veld of the energy suitable to the occa sion. 'Ah, it is’nbt to bb wondered at that be trembled.' Ho had just most das tardly, ‘and: villainous 1 act, by turning ’.traitor to those who had elected him to represent them in the Senate.. He had, by a baSo bargain with the Federalists, ihwart'ed the hopes of the Democratic party, and.he trembled like a culprit as his con science upbraided him for his treason. Thu treachery of Best should serve as a lesson to our Democratic , friends in every county of the State. It should teach them never to trust a man with political power who la not honest, Democrat.. Valentine Best' has always been—-to use. a, vulgar expression—a "ftshy Dem oerat.' 1 We were astonished when the Demo crats of his district nominated him for the Senate, for we well knew that he was not a trustworthy politician. In JBl3 Mr. Best was the editor of /wo papers—both purporting to bo democratic— one of which supported Gen. Cass, and the other Richard M. Johnston for the Presidency I This fact of itself was proof of liis dishonesty ns a politician. When Governor Porter turned traitor to the Democratic party. Best was his supple tool and defender. When George W. Woodward, the regular Democratic nominee for the U, S. Seriate, five years since, was, defeated through the defeo*. lion of a few Democratic members of Assembly, Mr, Uesi rejoiced over hid defeat. When, some years since, William.B. Anderson,.who received tho Democratic nomination; for State Treasurer, was defeated, by a union of iho Federalists with a sufficient number of members who had been elected as Democrats, Mr. Beal Zealously defended those Democratic members who had proved re creant to their principles. Such has been the course of Valentino De&i ever since we have known him. He has always been a truckling disorganizer—a trading polilt* cian, who never cared a straw about the princi plea of the Democratic parly. Ami yet, the Democrats of Luzerne und ; Columbia, knowing thepolitical character of this man, elected him to represent them in the State-Senate! They now curse him because of his bul_ we must say, in all kindness, that it does! not become them to do so. , They recognized and apparently ap proved Mr. Best’s democracy. He has now re-* turned ** the poisoned chalice to their own lips,” and they cannot, with a very good grace, complaint We trust, however* as we said before, that the treachery of Mr. Befit will serve as a wholesome lesson, not onls to our Democratic friends of the thirteenth Senatorial.district, but also to the Dem ocratic party of the ; whole, State!,;.
