Close of the 12th Volume.
The present number completes twelve
years since we have had charge of the Ga
zette. During that time it has been regu
larly issued every week, with the excep
tion of late years of 4th of July and
Christmas weeks, on which we jio longer
profess to publish a paper. There are ma
ny reminiscenses in this period, political
and otherwise, to which we could advert,
but as in the main there is but little on
our part to regret, and much to afford grat
ification, it is hardly necessary to do so.
Our subscribers seem to be well satisfied
with the course we have pursued, as is ev
idenced commendations so frequent
ly bestowed, even when differing from us
in opinion. As our course has been, so it
will continue. We shall speak fearlessly
on measures either of a general or local na
ture —approving what we believe to be
right, and condemning what we believe to
be ag or injurious to the masses. In
lis. we may at times oppose friend
w as opponent, but that is a result
which, in rhe nature of a really free press,
circumstances must govern, for friends may
be wrong as well as opponents.
So far as pecuniary matters are concern
ed, we have not much to boast of. The
high prices a few years ago without a cor
responding increase in ours, and the present
depression in business, have kept us in
statu quo, giving a bare living, even with
he use ot more than ordinary economy.
e however have hopes that times will
soon mend, and that the recent expression
of the peopie nsylvania for a pro
tective tariff, will hasten that much hoped
foi advent, when perhaps many who now
iorget that a newspaper or other debt ought
to be paid, will remember us and make up
for past delinquencies.
The Democrat on the late Elec
tion.
It is quite amusing to read the lugubri
ous articles in the Democrat on the result
of the late election. It feels particularly
sore that this county, so formidably repres
ented at Washington, should have turned its
back on the administration and made an
emphatic declaration for Popular Rights
and Protection to American Industry. At
first it thought democratic voters had made
u+iistake in their tickets, but in last week's
issue it takes a different ground, as can be
seen by the following extract from its ar
ticle :
When men who had been heretofore look
d upon as leaders—as Captains in the Dem
rati.- arm v—refused to take their usual po
r ee <jf Democratic principles
ndiilates, what else could be
g a apathy in every regi
on! Concomitant, frequent
.>:*!■! may l>e said of other sections, :
-uit in this county certainly exempli- I
correctness of our views. Here, in
i town, Anti Lecomptonism was strony,
.. .tcing nearly all our active leaders, while
in the distant townships of the county, as
well as in McVeytown and Newton Hamil
ton, Anti Lecompton Democrats were " few
and far between." What was the result ? In
Lewistown alone there was a change against
the Democray of over 150; and in the two ad
joining townships, (which vote also in town)
nearly as many more. In the distant town
ships, excepting Brown, (which is easilv ac
counted for, jthe Democracy came within a
fraction of holding their own, and in two of
them. New Armagh and Menno, the Dem
ocratic majorities wer a increased. With such
a fact before us, it were vain to seek for the
cause of our defeat in this county. No one
neede seek for what is too plain to be misun
derstood. We were beaten because our lea
ders where not on duty, and our forces were
not drilled, thus giving the enemy every ad
vantage they could desire. If the campaign
had been conducted as heretofore,—if our
captains had all been at their posts, doing
l ~le with their usual ability and energy-

thin J less to say that the Democrat
Sr h a f . a right view of the matter.

change, and had the opposition vote

a uemocrats in every district in the
Tuotv. disgusted with Buchanan, White
and Bower, aided in producing the over
whelming defeat of the Leconiptonites and
all tied to them.
Its appeal to the " captains of democra
cy" however is the most laughable part of
its lachrymosical article. Who are these
captains ? Surely not the men whom the
Buchanan administration has proscribed ?
Not the men who were insultingly inquired
after by a high Pennsylvania Officeholdiug
democrat at Washington whether they were
still democrats ? We thought the captains
were on the ground hard at work. There
were several government officials from
Washington—there was our P. M., and
sundry others either holding or expecting
to hold office, blowing forth the glories of
the Buchanan administration from early
morn to the closing of the polls—were
these not captains ? Surely the Democrat
would not ask those whom it has denoun
ced as allies of Black Republicanism be
cause they would not endorse the insane
measures of the administration, to spend
their time, their money, arid their influ
ence in glorifiyng the nest of rotten office
holders at Washington who arc doing their
utmost to destroy every vestige of TRUE
DEMOCRACY, by substituting an espionage
on principle, thought and action, more wor
thy of a despotism than a free goverment;
yet it is to these the Democrat now appeals
with the cry of " Help me, Cassius, or 1
sink."

fQrThe recent election for Mayor in Bal
timore, at which Swan, American, was re
elected almost without opposition, is made the
subject of much abuse by the Buchanan pa
pers, particularly those who had so much
fellow-feeling for straightouts during the past
few years. There may have been some re
straint on voters, as there always is in cities,
but how will the Democrat account for 3203
majority for the democratic candidate in the
eighth ward, which is just about 1400 more
than there are voters in that ward ? Does it
not look as if some of the Kansas Lecompton
ites had been about ?
Forney on Buchanan.
Col. John W. Forney made an excellent
political speech to a great meeting at Yonk
ers, New York, on Saturday a week. We
make a few extracts from it to show its spirit.
He said:
" I am here to render an account of my
stewardship, and to say that Pennsylvania
has pronounced a verdict against the Presi
dent of the United States. Contemplate for
a moment the magnitude of this result; look
upon it in all its proportions, and you will see
it like some mute orator, encouraging the in
dependent and rebuking the subservient and
treacherous public servant. We shall have
no more treacheries in the North after this
verdict. * * * *
That is the native State of the President—in
that State he grew to manhood—in that State
he has been repeatedly nominated for the high
office which he lias at last obtained—that State
gave him the majority which rescued him from
i danger of defeat in other quarters; and it was
proper—there was poetic significance in the
fact—that the State which gavohim his celeb
rity should at the same tiipe down the
proud usurper; that the State winch was his
political birth place should become his politi
cal grave. [Cheering long and loud.J In
1850, Pennsylvania gave a large majority for
Mr. Buchanan, and a year after she gave Gov.
Packer a majority of 40,000; and in the prea
ent contest the issue was distinctly made and
well understood—no man was more conscious
of this than the President, and he strained
every nerve to secure Pennsylvania as an en
dorser of his policy. Iu all my life I have
never seen such prostitution of official patron
age. In bygone days, when the Whig party
came into power they turned out the Demo
crats, and when, the Democrats came into
power they turned out the Whigs; hut never
before has such prostitution of patronage and
official station been known as in the lateelec
tion in Pennsylvania. Not only was the
money of the people expended by hundreds
and thousands of dollars, hut the Adminis
tration resorted to the most extraordinary
processes, using this patronage and this money
against its own political friends, or rather
against those who stood by the principle of
the Democratic party, which gave power to
that administration. In the district repre
sented by Col. Florence, the regular vote was
overwhelmed by an imported army of office
holders. Some 2800 men were in the Navy
Yard alone, where not more than 500 are re
quired. Every branch of the public service
was drawn upon for the purpose of contribu
ting to this immense horde of mercenaries;
hut, notwithstanding this you hare the result
before you. Of 15 Democrats who were elec
ted in 1856, but five have been re-elected,
while instead <>f the balance ton open and de
cided opponents of the Federal Administra
tion have been returned. [Loud Cheers.] —
And of these five, three of them agree with
me. * * * * *
Now let me call your attention to another dis
trict in Pennsylvania—the one represented
wiih such ability by John Hickman. [Great
applause.] Of this man 1 claim the right to
speak, for he has won high honors at the
the P-Ve. No man whom 1 have"
met has proved himself so equal to the great
occasions in which he has figured; no man
was more devoted to Mr. Buchanan in 1854,
and again in 1856. But one day he met Mr.
Buchanan in the cars. Mr. iiickuian said to
him, " How is it that you are in favor of uia
king Kansas a slave State; I want you to tell
me how you stand on this question." Mr.
Buchanan told Mr. Hickman, (I have not the
exact words of the conversation, hut can fur
nish them if necessary,) "I am a Northern
man ; all my instincts arc Northern ; I was
horn and bred in Pennsylvania; I am ia fa
vor of the admission of Kansas as a free
State." That was before the election in 1856,
and upon this warrant, thus spoken without
the pledge of secresy, Mr. Hickman went be
fore his constituents and he was re-elected,
and he was found to he one of the first in
Washington to [tremendous cheers] oppose
I.ecomptonini in all its phases. Then began
the most fearful persecutions upon a public
man which it has been my lot to witness. A
series of persecutions and proscriptions and
abuse began, which I will not attempt to de
scribe—so much so, that Mr. Hickman was
compelled to go armed, in order to defend
himself. Yet he has triumphed; day and
night he toiled, and the result has been that
he is returned to Congress by a handsome
majority. [Loud cheers.] I would that the
story of that canvass ended here: hut I regret
to say that while the people of his district
were recording their acknowledgment of his
services, his beloved and gifted wife, who par
ticipated in all his hopes and fears, who had
been the stay of bis life, tottered into his libra
ry and died in his arms. I would not profane
the sacredness of his grief by political allu
sions, hut I atn obliged to believe that she
was the victim of the remorseless persecution
that pursued him. * * I can very
well imagine how Mr. Buchanan feels at the
present moment; how he goes back over the
unfortunate steps of the last two years; how
he seeks excuses for the great disaster that
has befallen himself and his policy ; for in
our State this was not a question of the tariff
or revenue laws—it was simply an issue be
tween Mr. Buchanan and the people upon his
Kansas policy. There was not, there could
not he. any pretext; the issue was fairly tried,
and the result is before the country. As
Mercutio said when he received the stab
the indignant Thiabault, " The Vroond is not
as deep as a well, ;; u r as wide as a ehurch
duor, out ittcilldo." [Tremendous applause.]
We say to this Administration: We have
fought you when you had nearly four years of
Federal* power before you, and were surround
ed by a hungry army of unfed and insatiate
hounds ; and we shall fight you now, when
you have hot little more than two years of
power and your dogs have nearly all been
(gorged. [G. eat cheering.] The whole career
of Anti-Lecomptonlsin has been a career of
I triumph; wr hav driven these usurpers from
| o ne point to another; we compelled them to
! abandon their mpton policy; we com

now there is not a white man running for

self in favor of the policy of the Administra
tion—not one 1 [Cheers ] Even Mr. Eng-

Democrats and Republicans throughout the
States are right. * * Wo are fight

[Cneers. ] That is the issue. They cannot
escape the reckoning. No Charleston Con
vention will save them unless they cotue for
ward and accept the doctrine which they now
repudiate No power—no patronage can savo
them. 1 believe to-day, if the official vote
had been stricken out, and the people had
voted without interruption, there would not
be 10,000 Democrats iu Pennsylvania in favor
of tho policy of the present Administration.

to crushing defeat hereafter, or else come for-
I wurd and on bended knees accept the policy
which we stand by to day. That is exactly
the issue. lam well aware that those in high
stations in Washington and elsewhere are fe
licitating themselves thatthose who act with
; me will be divided* and I know they are look
i ing forward to the day when by means of
i packed conventions they shall get such nom
i inations as the}' wish. But, gentlemen, the
day of independent men has arrived ; [great
j cheering ;] the time has come when no nom
; ination is binding that discards a great and
j imperishable principle. [Cheers.] I say fur
; thennore, and say deliberately, as one man
| speaking the sentiments of many thousands,
j that if the Democratic party desires success
' in 1860, they must get rid of this Administra
j tion at once and forever. [Cheers.] It is in
! the way; it stands in the pathway of progress;
it belongs to the past; it is identified with the
i past, and if they undertake to carry it along,
I it will be like a healthy man carrying a pu
I trid corpse upon his shoulders. [Cheers.j—
--i There is no rescue but in this policy—no de
! liverance but in this course. Those who have
i been hoping that Mr. Buchanan might come
i down without a popular decree, hope in vain.
! What can he do? Can he recall his hounds
| now assailing Stephen A. Douglas without
j losing dignity? Can he follow the example
! of Breekenriilge, who has the manliness to
j come forth and raise his hands in horror at
j this indecent proscription? No; for he is the
i author of it! lie is worse than this, ho is
i the author of the most scandalous doctrine
that has been promulgated in this country;
he dares tell us that the President is the Gov
ernment. His motto is not like that of Old
\ Hickory, " The Union, it must and shall be
! preserved," but, "The President and his pol
j icy must and shall be sustained." It is iu
i vain to hope that a man committed to a dog
' ma, to a despotism, like this, can be sustained
jby any party. He is in the way ; and they
; must move off and lot the great train of Pop
i ular Sovereignty pass on without them.—
! [Cheers.] 1 know such language may be re
| garded as treasonable, but it is time we un
i derstood each other. I say no man in Mr.
j Buchanan's position can be sustained, and
j the party attaching itself to his fortunes will
f " down deeper than did ever plummet sound.
Cheers.j This Lecornptonism has been the
j greatest disaster that has ever befallen any
i party. It has done good to nobody, except a
i few miserable miscreants who wanted office,
j As I said at Tarrytown, the blackest of lie
| publicans could go to Washington and tell
i Mr. Buchanan lie admired his Lecompton
) policy, and be was washed white and clean,
1 and rewarded with any office be desired.—
I Nothing has flown from this thing of Lecomp
i ton but black and bitter waters. When in
. Pennsylvania thousands of laborers were
J starving for want of work and nearly for
; bread, when credit was gone and business
, paralyzed, and when the people turned to the
; man whom they bad regarded for twenty long
| years with admiration to protect American
; industry—when they did this, the only reply
! heard was "hecomptunism." I say here that
| so far as this question of protecting American
• industry is concerned, (I speak as a member
of the Democratic party,) I am for it in all its
length aftfUhffc3'ltb. [ 1 Truumiiww
1 have never been what is called a free-trade
man ; I have always believed in specific du
ties ; but when I see how the South adhere,
how all their platforms and pledges and creeds
tend to their own benefit, I am for this doc
trine of protection, or any other doctrine that
will help us here. [Cheers.] The South
comes to Washington with united delegations,
demanding her rights; the South can be in
1 favor of the inhuman traffic in slaves, not
withstanding our treaties with foreign powers
i prohibit such a traffic, yet they are never read
: out of the Democratic party. The South
i West can come to Washington with demands
for internal improvements, and they are never
j read out. But let New York taik a little
i about protecting American industry, and we
! are told it is out of the record, out of the par
ty, out of the Cincinnati platfoim. Hence it
; is I am willing to go to the extreme upon this
issue.
make the following extracts from
a letter recently received from a resident of
Minnesota, formerly of this county :
LAKE CITV, Minnesota, Oct. 26, 1868.
I am very much pleased to hear of the
change, politically, in my native State. Our
party have triumphed here, which you doubt
less have learned: friend Moses Montgomery,
the democratic candidate for Senator, has been
beaten, Averell, the Republican candidate be
ing elected. The latter is also a resident of
our town.
Our city is not improving as rapidly as at
first; in fact, it has, like most other places,
grown prematurely. We. however, are not
discouraged, as it is a natural point for a very
extensive country back of us, which is being
rapidly settled, and which is now subject to
pre-emption, by an act of Congress passed last
May. This is the very best thing could have
happened, as the land will now be taken by
actual settlers. Our crops here are excellent,
excepting wheat, which was injured by rust,
the weather having been too wet. Wo are
exporting corn, oats and potatoes. Merchants
here are paying for corn 37J cents, oats 30.
Potatoes are very plenty: I hardly know what
to quote the price at. We can beat you at
raising almost anything; our soil is the most
productive that I have ever seen. Our vege
tables, too, are of a much better quality and
larger growth. The cultivation of the sugar
cane is succeeding finely. It is estimated
that there has been 2000 gallons of molasses
made within a compass of but a few miles in
our neighborhood, some farmers producing
above 200 gallons. It is supposed here that
in a favorable season for the cane to mature,
that it will produce 200 gallons to the acre.
As yet, the machinery for manufacturing is
of a very rude kind, but the quality of the
syrup is far superior to the best New Orleans.
I suggested to some of my former acquaint
ances here to uso salt in boiling down the
syrup, which they did, and found it to be a
great improvement; it causes the scum to rise
inure rapidly to the surface, clarifies it, and
improves the flavor greatly. Their kettles
(or puns, rather,) would not boil down more
than would make half a barrel at one time ;
in that quantity they found two large teacups
ful of nalt to be efficient. As yet, it is only
experimenting, every one using his own judg
incnt in the matter.
Wood's Hair Restorative is now "all
the talk," in fact it is on all sides conceded
that it will make the hair grow, remove dan
druff, make the hair soft and glossy, preserve
the natural color of the hair to old ago, keep
it from coming out, and is the best toilet ar
tiole for the hair now in use. Try it, by all
meuns.— Marieltian, Pa.

B*3^, HOLLOW EVE, like the first of April,
has always been considered a suitable oc
casion for playing practical jokes. Coming
on Sunday evening of this year, our mischief
loving hoys would have been deprived of
their usual amusements had they not taken
time by the forelock and perpetrated their
tricks on Saturday evening, and then fol
lowed then up on Monday evening. Some
cabbage was stolen, as usual, but girls and
boys pretty generally confined their annoy
ance to throwing corn at windows and doors.
Some that were engaged in this " sport,"
might want the corn before the winter is
over.
B£sb>Atnong the many medicines offered
for sale, Wistar's Balsam of Wild Cherry
and Oxygenated Bitters deserve a high
place for the relief and cure of sundry
prevalent diseases. We have reason to be
lieve that both those articles are the pro
duction of high medical knowledge, and
therefore do not belong to the classes got
up for producing temporary effect on inva
lids. For diseases of the throat and lungs
the Balsam of \\ ild Cherry is a sovereign
remedy, aud for dyspepsia the bitters will
prove efficacious where most other remedies
fail.
IttK W EATIIER, Ac.—Bain commenced
falling on Thursday evening of last week,
which fortunately checked the fires on
Shade Mountain to the east, and on the
ridge between Granville aud Miuehart's
Gaps on the west side of the river. These
fires were a source of much uneasiness to
the residents at the foot of the mountains,
and required careful watching both day and
night. Beyond the destruction of timber
we have heard of no loss except that sus
tained by John S. Beed at .Jack's creek,
about -Jfcurth of bark and fourxords
of hickory wood having "been -destroyed.
Jt commenced raining again on Tuesday
evening, and the ground is now quite wet,
with indications of colder weather.
