In answer we may state that we never give “aid and comfort” to on enemy, by granting him the use of our col umns—wo arc not quite liberal enough for that. “Spruit op Jefferson.”—Simpson K.

Mr. D. is a young *man of more than ordinary abilities—a finished scholar, good writer, and unflinching Democrat. Wo doubt not, under the joint management .of Messrs.

It is but a very short ' time since that Mr. T. applied some of his ' choicest epithets to our neighbor of tho Herald. ' With such utter contempt and scorching scvcri- ' ty did ho speak of Mr. Beattt, that those who heard him felt not only shocked but ashamed. Wo hare too much respect forour readers to peat Mr. Todd’slanguage,at present,but still wo will ask their indulgence to permit us to do bo, provided our neighbor requests it.

That bo will bo elected by a tremendous majority is as certain as that the 'son will rise on the second Tuesday of October.” ; Our candidates for Assembly, Messrs. Moseu and'Ciiesndt, arc both “good men and true.” Mr. Moseb represented, in part, this county in the last Legislature, and his. straight-forward and upright course proved him worthy the con fidence of bis constituents. He is a man .of great industry, and was regarded by his fellow? members as possessing great moral worth and integrity of character.' .His colleague .on tho ticket. Col. Chesnut, is a hard-working farmer, who ■understands the wants and wishes of the people of this county as well as man in it. In tho Democratic ranks ho has performed yeo man’s service, and deserves the gratitude of tho entire party. Etc is a man of intelligence and experience. In the event of his election (of which there can bo no doubt,) ho will, wo feel confident, discharge tho duties of a legislator with credit to himself and profit to-his con stituents. , The next on tho ticket is Daniel K- Noel, for Prothonotary. , We have known Mr. N. since our boyhood, and have always found him tho same straight-forward, honest and obliging man and true Democrat. . He will make a most excellent and agreeable officer - , being a man of affable and pleasing manners and a finished En glish scholar. Of his election there can be no. doubt whatever. For Clerk of the Courts tho Convention select ed our respected John M. Gregg. Mr. G. has always been a steadfast Democrat, and a sober, industrious and worthy , citizen, commanding the respect and confidence of men of all parties. He is a mechanic,but from phys ical disability was compelled to givoup his trade, and for the last couple of- years has followed school-teaching for a livelihood. In point of capacity ho has few if any equals, and if elect ed (which ho will be) will make a safe, compe tent end obliging officer. , a . ■ William Lytle of Ncwvillc, is tho candi date for Register. Few' men in the upper end of the county have rendered. more essential ser vice to the Democratic party thanßitLT Lytle, and no one, in our humble opinion, is more de serving the support of every true Democrat.— Mr. L., like most of;the other candidates,• is poor, with a family dependent upon him for support. Ho is a liberal, wjiolc-soulcd man, •with “his heart in his hand and his hand open” to all. That he will, ns he ought to be, ejected by a triumphant majority, is very generally conceded. • ' IQborqbM. (UnsitAU, the nomfnco'ftr County Commissioner, is admirably qualified for the post, being a man of sorting 'integrity, having experience and a knowledge of tho affairs of the county. 110 is nowonoof tho Commissioners by appointment of the Court, and for tho short time he has been in office, discharges his duties with great promptness and fidelity. lie is just such a man as a County Commissioner should be—one having a knowledge of tho value of the real estate of tho county, and whose only object is to subserve the interests of, the people. His election we consider a “fixed fact,?’ for wo feel certain tbo tax-payers .have unlimited coufi* dcncc in him, and will rally.to his support. That unflinching Democrat, Col. John Clen deniK, is the nominee for Director of tho Poor. Col. 0. is a gentleman of decided intelligence, kind and humane, and qualified, in an eminent degree, for this position. Ho deserves, and should receive, the vote of every man who lias tho welfare and comfort of the at heart. * Isaac Rixowalt of Carlisle, ond Jacob Steinman' of Slilppcnsburg, arc tho candidates for Auditor. They arc both clever and worthy men and good'accountants, and have always, through good as well as through evil report, re mained true to the faith of Democracy.

To uso the lan guage of the Somerset 'Democrat, “wo do not predicate,tins belief because we have the most sanguine feelings in regard'to the strength of the democracy-bat’from'tho fact, that from every quarter Of this good old Commonwealth,' We hear, the good tidings of Bigler’s popularity os a man, as well as his acknowledged strength os tho Chief Magistrate of the State.

Wilmot, tho head and front of Frccsoilism, is opposing Qbv.

One© bo'wielded great in-’ flnencoin his ..'district,.but now, like all rene gades and ungrateful persons, he stands almost alone, to glut over his infamy and treachery,— The democracy of his district are too true 10. tho’ party, and admire Wm.

Bigler- was elected in 1851, when Wilmot’s influence was against biro, and ■ he will be re-elected in 1864, notwithstanding this movement.
