Graham. A desperate attempt was made to defeat

a very few exceptions, rallied to his support, and
■ manfully sustained him. All honor, then, to the
. true Democracy of daughter Perry!
The election of our friend Stsoof, 100, to the
, office of Associate Judge, is another triumph of
which the Democracy of Perry may well feel proud.

lOT.|H3f
We confess we ere not much disappointed in tho
result in this county. Previous to tho election wo
bad serious doubts whether the Democrats would
carry a single man on their tjekot. It was well
known to every one that a base conspiracy, having
for its object the defeat of tho Democratic ticket, i
had been concocted in Carlisle, by certain Whig
leaders and a squad of treacherous and trafficing
politicians, who heretofore professed allegiance to
the Democratic parly. • Unfortunately for the derm
ocralio parly of this county it embraces a entail
class of trading politicians, who osro more for ulf
than for the principles of the partyr They never
vote the regular ticket unless (hey or their parllcu*
lar friends are upon It. M TJiey are men of principle
hi proportion to their interest, 11 end are at ail times
ready and willing to drive a bargain with'any party.
The Whigs of this county are In a decided minor,
ity, and they knew very well that unless they could |
find an Aohln in the Democratic camp, their case
was hopeless. .They cast about,-'therefore, and soon
they found the object of .their search. An under*
standing was soon had~a bargain was soon effect*
ed. M You elect me to an office, and wo wilf elect
you lo another, 11 was the sum and substance of the
; agreement between the contracting' parties. The
week following tbo “Independent 0 or
lion ticket appeared at the head of the columns of
the papers wilting lo sanction the bargain, and fionf
that hour the Whig candidates felt sanguine of sue*
cess. Meetings were held in some, of the townships,
composed of men of loth parlies, having for their
object tbo prostration of the . Democratic ticket.—
Tickets were printed, containiag the names of Big*
ler and Clover, and the Whig candidates for the
County offices!,-Many an honest Democratic voter,
we doubt, not, was thus deceived, and voted nearly
the full Whig ticket when ho supposed he was vo*
ting the regular Democratic ticket. By this kind of
deception, treachery and fraud, the Whigs of this
county bav.e been enabled lo elect a good portion of
their ticket. They no doubt feci under lasting
obligations lo the professing Democrats who assisted
them in gaining a victory.
As we said before, oar partial defeat may bo
traced to tho men .who,, making an outward profes
sion of friendship, supported the amalgamation Ju
dicial ticket. Look at the table of official returns,
and It will be seen that tn'the townships where the
“IhdSpehdent Judiciary ° ticket received the largest
vote, there the Democratic candidates for the county
offices, fared the., worst. In .Dickinson township!
Mr. Kerr, one uf the regular nominees for Associate
Judge, received but 38 voles, and Judge-Clehdenin
bat 91. ; This township was a kind of head-quarters
I for those professing democracy, bat who were con.
loading plans to give a fatal stab lo the Democratic
ticket. Leading the vote, on the subject of the Jo.
dietary out of the question, we Bod that in Dickin*
son township Bonham was ant 15 votes—Rhoads
was cut 95 votes—Ritter was cut 20 voles—Gracoy
was cut 88 votes—Bricker wan tot 33 votes; &o.

oeralio candidate* • sacrificed. Indeed, in every
township and ward where the amalgamation Jodl
dieiary ticket received support from Democrats,
(hire the Whig candidate* ran a.hoad of their Gov
ornor. This being the fact, Ui* no difficall matter
1 to point oat the men who, In a secret, cowardly, and
I treacherous manner, defeated the regular Democrat*
'ic candidates. They ate entitled to all the credit,
1 or rather infamy for thia Whig victory. 1
1 But, it ie 'vaiu to'attempt lu remedy what haa
[taken place—wo muat look a-head,.and apply the
'remedy. “The pail is gone—the future la before
q»." Let the Democrat* of the county—those who
cherish the principles of the parly—remain firm and
unyielding. The plot* of selfish and treacherous
men may appear successful for a lime, but the prin
ciples of democracy can never bo put down, and
must eventually triumph.
Our course ae conductor of a Democratic paper
shall bo the same as heretofore—we shall support
the measures and principles of the par
ly, and the nominees of that parly. .We have no
private griefs to gratify, and if wo had, wo could
not-be base enough to sacrifice our principles, for
the purpose of seeking revenge. Wo are willing,
therefore, to let by-gonci be by-gonos. Wo desire
to wage war against no. man or set of men, who
honestly desire to act in concert with the Democrat
ic party. We despise double ; dealing, deceit, and
those who wear two faces, and who, after having
toorlced against a ticket and voted against it, can
then, after its defeat, turn up the dirty whites of
their eyes, and complacently ask, “ how comes this?"
Such men are morally and politically corrupt and
dishonest, and will hereafter bo regarded aa a scab
, and a leprosy upon the body politic.
I Our county was not the only .one where Iroaoh
-1 ery prevailed. In old DeroooralVo and impregnable
Berks, a disorganization was attempted. There
too, a Democrat of ooay virtue, waa anzlooslobe
elected Judge over the regular nominee. But the!
honest Democrats of mighty Berks wore not to be I
seduced from their candidates by Fedoarl trickery.]
The Volunteer candidate mot with the defeat ho
deserved, and (he whole Democratic county ticket
was triumphantly elected. The editor of the Bead,
log Octette, alter exposing the tresohery of certain
men, calling themselves Democrats, concludes his
remarks' in these words, which we endorse, as ap
pUcablo to this region. 11 But," says the Gazette,
o the hour of triumph is not tho one for reproaches.
We trust sod believe that cool reflection will open
(he eyes of our paUly.sliensted brethren to the de
h ception practised upon them, and win them back to |
nd their allegiance to the party which wo Hw> hae
the their warmest sympathies, and which can only be
preserved in full life and vigor, by steadfast adbe.

Juniata County*
Co). Biglet'e majority in little Juniata, it 194,
being a democratic gain of 96 since 1848. Mr.
Grabam'a majority it 176. Well done, Juniata.
The Whige of this county, previous to the election,
boasted that Johnston would carry Juniata by 100
majority, and Judge Watte by 300. They count
ed without their host that time. We knew Juni
ata 100 well to beliere that the could be eedueed
by Federal arguments and trickery. With such
men to cheer on the Democracy of that county at
Parker, Frew, Doty, Henoh, Miller, Wilson,"Bon
eell, Elder, and othert that we might name, there
ia no danger of Whiggery gaining a victory there.
Juniata ,hat sustained heraetf nobly in the late
contest, and ia entitled to the thanka of the Demo
cracy of the State.

“Parlicf," said llio celebrated Robert Halt, 11 are

Aril the people are contending respecting the system
that shsllbo pursued; under iho second, they are
candidates for servitude, and are only debating whose
livery they shall wear." This distinction between
party and faction Is os just oa It is happily expressed;
l and It indicates In the compass of a solitary sentence,
the fundamental and essential difference potween
the Democratic end Whig parties. The Democratic
'parly Is a party ; It is founded on principle, and it
pursues a system. But the Whig parly is a mere
'/action, inasmuch os It is based upon no character*
istla and essential principle and pursues no distinct
ive and settled policy. .The groat principle of De
mocracy is embodied in the osseriion, {Act ike lets
of Government the better, Standing upon this plat,
form, the'Democratic parly have constantly and
boldly maintained the capacity of tho people to
govern themselves< and have denied tlie'neceaVity of
creating a strong system Of Government tojcoorco
them; they have striven perpetually to restrict thu
idea-of government within the narrowesl-jA)MibIo
limits, and have resisted ever; Miempt lo exiead il
beyond the most necessary application* 'Frolh this
vital and eternal principle have sprung all tbp great
measure* or ihe.Demueratio parly—hence their con* |
slant struggle for a free and uncontrolled commerce; I
hence their advocacy of an Independent' treasury; I
and lienee their unvarying devotion tie ’ fodWlduah
rights and popular liberty. Viewing ell. Govern J
ment as a Tetter imposed upon man by- the neccssi-
I lies of his corrupt nature, they;have striven to re*
I lease him from his lliraldom as his progress in
1 civilization made him more capable‘of seffgovbrn*
ment.. This is (ho leading Idem and (ho living
principle of the Democratic party, and the eyefem It
pursues is (ho legitimate consequence of (his princi
ple. When, however, we analyze.'the varying and
frequently contradictory professions of the .Whig
parly, we find Ihcy have.no fundamental principle
and pursue no given system—that, in truth, they
are not : a party bat a mere Jaction . As originally
1 organized, the party which assumes the denomina
tion of Whig, (Jid rally upon a common.platform of
principle, and were engaged in lbc pursuit of a co*
horebt system. - Their fundsmental principle was
(he opposite of that which constituted the basls-ofthe
Democracy—distrusting man’s capacity foraalf.gov
ernment, they embraced the idea of a slrong con
trolling Government, and their notion ofGovcrnmenl
was embodied in monarchy* Hence the earliest
members of the Whig parly, as Alezander lUmillon
and others, were avowed admirers of. the British
, Government,, and were anxious to model the Ameri
can Constitution after its fashion. All the measures
for which the Whig party, once .contended so ardent
ly, sprung from this rudimenlal principle, sod were
intended fully to accomplish its deHlopwnent.—
Commerce they will not leave to the regulation of
its own laws, bill must heed hamper and direct il by
Governmental Interference. The finances of the coon
try (hoy wish to subject to the arbitrary, control of
the Government. The rights'of the Stales, inas
much as they limit and countervail the authority of
the Central Government and oppose a barrier to its
uncontrolled sway, the Whig party have ever striven
to sweep away* All the measures they ever pro.
posed were designed for the accomplishment of these
objects. But .the principle upon which the Whig
party, formerly. rallied has been scouted by-the
American people, and all their moasnrceJifve met
with reprobation-and defeat. In every battle they
have been vanquished, until, dwindled

Graham's mnj. in dis., 3GO
Bv the above U will bo seen that Mi. Graham’s
majority in the district is 360-enongh for al) use
ful purposes. To the iinbought and etorUng Do.
moctacy of Perry and Juniata are we.indebted for
Mr. Graham’s election. It is a, glorious triumph,
for no man throughout the Slate had more 10 ,con
tend against. Al Ufa lime of his unanimous nom
(nation by the three counties, it was supposed that
his character as a men, as a democrat, and as a
lawyer, would shield him from abuse and violent
opposition. Bat in this expectation hie friends
were disappointed. He was slandered and villl
fied, and infamous lying handbills were
ted by "half-breed” democrats, tn which he was
denounced in the language of devils. We. have
the charily to believe that Judge Walls had no
hand in circulating these infamous slanders .gains
Mr. Graham. It was the work of imprudent
friends, who glory in their baseness.
Mr. Graham, we predict, will make a dignified,
ini partial, and able Judge. His reputation as a
lawyer, and his character as a roan, are so wo
established, that it is unnecessary for us to dwell
upon either.. The rights of the people of the die
irlct will be safe in his hands, and iho adminlalra
llon of Justice will be impartially administered. I
