The Democracy of• Bradford
The Presidential. contest is 'row over, and we
irustihat the De!nocranc party of this Colimy, who
!CAW reason to (filler with regard to the exididates
presented foi their support ; will no Imiger Mal cause
for separate actior. The past, with its asperities.
as collisions and emdlicts. should be forgotten. Let
()plotters be by-runes. The only real dillcrence of
action has been upon (eaters of ems d envy and of
judgment. There has been a unity of feeling upon
all the great questions of ihe day. Particularly a e
the Democracy of Bradlord uni:ed and tbianimous
coon the great question of Free Territory. Nor
should one portion sit in judgment upon. another,
who-may have (filleted in regard to the course to
be adopted to carry out this plinciple. Both, we
believe, have acted in good faith, and kir what
they deemed the best iicrests-of the Democratic
party.

which produced a difference of action in the Dem

will not again ts'-cur. The Democracy %%ill not
again find cause to differ. The harmony and suc
cess of the party will not be jeoparded by circum
stances six+ as have arisen dming the present year.
Under the broad lulls of the glorious banner of
which Jefferson and Jackson have been the stand
ard-bearers, the Democracy are bound to triumph
in future conflicts. To do this, however, they must
be united and harmonious. We say again, the
past should be buried in 'oblivion. Democrat- 4 —•
men whpse integrity cannot be questioned—found
themselves acting separately, if not antagonistically.
Both saw the necessity, and if in the heat of parti
zan zeal, unpleasant feelings may have been en
gendered, ail pethapS found vent, yet we have no
doubt, the calm reflection which there has been
time to indulge, has shown that both, At least, were
acing with honest purposes—the-one, in support of
ancient usages—the other, in defence of a princi:
rile which was _supposed to• overshadow all other
issues. It is unfortunate that such . a diversity of
opinion and action should have existed, but if did
exist., tout while the motives of all are entitled to
respect : them should gilt remain the same: feelir_
nt triter My, now that the barriers are passed : that
proved a source of separation.
From all we can learn, though. about equally di
vined upon the question of the Pnesid - bncy, there ex
ists the best possible state of teeing. among the De
mocracy of Bradford, in reference to boom action.
There it; no breach, no division, no difTerenee o
.feeling. They are as they ever were, a lion
hearted ftenincracy, and net truer, or steadier, upon
1+
nil the cardinal principles of our 'alib i can be found
to any section.

LoOotte, isinvictelet Teat), 1817, for tie
murder of
. h4w.ife,.l4' shooting kr With a pistol.
The prisoner was tirouglitto this place on Theis
day, from the jail of Tier county, where he has
been in rongnement for some by -
Shei itt . Donnixs. We understand he manifested no
disposition to avoid the dreadful death which awai
ted hint, but . exhibiteil every manifes•ation of be
ing completely subdued iu spirit and humbled in
heart—broken down by his long centinement, and
-heart-crushed by the continued oanteruplation of
the aw put fate to which hi, was doomed. During
the short period of his life spent here, on Thursday
•and Friday; he was visited by the Cle.gymen of
our place, whose endeavors to direct his attention
to " Him who taketh away the sins of the Wolid,"
as his last refuge and hope, were not without en-
Couragement and effect. •
Arrangement-4 were made for his execution in
the middle roomy op the North side of the Jail.—
The scaffold was erected with a drop of about three
feet. At a few 'minutes part 2 o'clock, clothed in
the habiliments of the grave, and attended by the
Sheriff and the Rev: Mr. Parvin of the Episcopal
church, and Rev. Mr. Brown, of the Methodist
church, he entered the execution room. His ap
pearance was ghastly, and indicated lung and in
tense suffering., but with a firm and unfaltering step
he ascended io the scaffold and took a seat. Ile
then knelt in prayer, and Rev. Mr, Pavia read the
beautiful and impressive service appointed by the
Episcopal church. He was then told by the she
riff, that he had twenty-five minutes to live, and if
he wished to say anything, he had an opportunity.
Ile arose and addressed a few winds to those as
sembled, in so low a tcne as to be almost inaudi
ble. We were unable to hear the precise words,
but the substance was that he was innocent--that it
had never evered his heart to murder his wife—
that he was presumptous in making the remarks he
did, which taken with the unfortuuate occurence,
made it lorik bail—but he had no cap upon the pis
tol—" depend upon it'—said he—" I had not."—
At his request, Mr. Parr in again most fervenly en
gaged in prayer, after which he calmly and quietly
took his position upon the drop, the rope was adjust
cd around his neck, the cap drawn over his face, and
-afer shaking hands with a friend or two, at pm
cisely half past two, the S:ie riff cut the tope,land
the unfortunate man dropped—a lew stru,Afles and
uvoluntary muz4:ular convukions, and the soul of
he wretched prisoner had left its earthly tabernacle
to try the realities of the Unkown World. There
vas no apparent Ms.-it:mu or reluctance in his ac
tions, while the dreadful preliminaries were being
arranged, but he seemed to look upon Death as a
'chef from suffering.
Nis remains after having been suspended about
30 minutes were cut dow . ?, and taken by his friends
to Albany tom 'Ail), agreeably to his reques, for
interment.
About thirty persons were present at the execu
tiou—Deputies, clergymen, reporters, physicians,
county officers and the Sheriff's jury, consisting
the following persons :—Luther IL Scott, K B.
Coolbaugh. M. Ellsbree, Wm. Walker, Ge.o. Pick

does him girt:it credit.

Druid Webster, who in one of his great stump
speeches, entered into some statistics showing that
while hundreds of opetatives owned stuck to the
Lowell Factories, scarcely a score of capitalists
had anything whatever to do with them! If the
profits then of these factories were large, didn't
they go to the operatives and people? Aud was
there any . thing which Democrats could reasonably
and consistently object to in that? Such was the
argument.
Caleb Quirk got up a corporation for the mann
factnre of soft soap. The capital was $1,000,000,
divided into 20,000 shares of fifty dollars each. Of
these
Caleb Quirk owned - '1( ; 10.000
Oily Gammonowned • 5,000
Samuel Soap owned 4,800
200 farmers, operatives and " poor wid
ows" owned one share each, being 200
• 20,000
Now this corporation asked the Government for.
and got, such advantages, by way of " protection"
from foreign competition that it Mott* its " soft
soap"to a very profitable market, and made every
year a dividend of 20 per cent, ar $lO on each share.
In Misstate of .things, the people 'naturally com
plained, and said that the corporation should sell
them soap at a less price and be content with profits
less exhorhitant. Three or four capitalists *ere
getting rich altogether too fast, at the people's ex
pense!
Not at all, says Mr. Gammon nn the stump.—
Not at all. For every capitalistwho has any inter
est in this concern. there are more than sixty labor
ite, men and farmers who are also 'interested.—
Would yon begrudge them the making of a little
money Would you raise a great cry because
they a-o beneficed '!
All this looks very fair on the surface: But af
ter all, $2,000 only go annually to the poor laborers
over whom so baud a shout is' raised and $198.000
go to the cotters of Quirk, Gammon, and Snap !
he " poor widow" takes $lO of the plunder, out
of which thus consecrated, Caleb Quirk takes $lOO,
000, and erects therewith a palace on Beacon street
giving occasionally a few thousand to the church,
that his pious name may.descend with appropriate
boners to posterity. •
We don't believe that the Caleb Quirk who con
trol the Lowel cotton mills will ever be so successful
in the manufacture of "soft soap." as to impose
such Miserable sophistry as we have above illus
trated, successfully upon the people.—Coos County

EXTRAORDINARY ELOPF.3IENT.---AN lIEIRENS MAR
RIED TO HER CoACOMAN.--.-AIIOIIICX one of these ex
traordinary occurrences, called elopements, has
just transpired
_in our great city that is said to be
distinguished for its worth, talents, and persever
ance. About the fact is, that girls, when they are
old enotrgli. desire to have husbands, and they will
hat e them in " spite of my lord cardinal!" The
case now under consideration, is one in no way
dishonorable to the parties ; still it is curious and
interesting. The lady in question belongs to a
family worth a million of dollars and has been
denied (so the story goes) her choice several times.
She has at length, a husband, and she obtained him
in her own way and that was a silent one. It ap
pears that the youqg heiress, who is in sure expec
tation of some hundred thousand, a few days since,
indent, her coachman, a respectable Irishman, of
" bring out" the ciriage, as she was desirous of
taking a Endo exercise. The young coachman
obeyed and a way; ti.ey went. It is not known what
direction was taken but sure it is that on ‘Vednesclay
last the partiCs who left as above described returned
man and wife. The coachman Lad actually mar•
ried his) oung mistress and is now the happy hus
k-rind of one of the most interesting and beautiful
ladies in our city; one whose wealth is irnmetkze
and whose standing is ackuowledgd to be every
way desirlible. Although nonanies and no street
are given for the very good reason, we know neith•
er the one nor the other yet the circumstances as
detailed actually transpired, else an honest man :s
word is not worth a straw —Cincinnati Comnierced.
ALMOST A Mei:pm—We cut the following from
the Doylestown. Ile.. Democrat, or Nov. 28: On
Tuesday evening last, a murder almost occurred
at Bushington, in this county. John Atkinson,
a
peaceable and hard working mechanic, left his
door and stepped into his woodshed, a hich was ad
joinin,, his dwelling, when some villain, undercov
er of die darkness of the night, hit him a violent
blow on the head .welt a club. The elect of the
weapon stunned him, and he tell to the ground.
When he recovered, a.second blow was given, and
he lay in this position a long time. After he was
able to crawl to the door, he alarmed his family.
who found him weak from fainting and the loss of
blood. lie has been confined to his bed ever since
The perpetrators of the outrage are yet unknown.
Some threats have been made use of by a huge ne.
gm, who hail on various occasions exhibited a dirk
mid other weapons, not safe in the hands of acow
antly chirkey. A warrant, we learn, is out for him
He should be caught, and if guilty, suffer the ex
trnnio penalty of the law.
N. B.—Since the above article was in tyre, we
learn that Mr. Atkinson is fast recovering. On Sun
day last, he was able to take a walk about a quer
ter of a mile to an acquaintance of his. If he is
careful of himself, he wilt soon be able to go to
work again.
Awav W,in Cr.Nscaws.—The Pennsylvanian, in
article under the above caption advises ddmocratie
editors to abstain from all censures upon any por
tion of the democratic party, in the Union and te
comends concession and conciliation arnor.,g all.—
This is certainly reasonable and excellent advice.
We are glad that our friends of the Pennsyvlanian
hare had their eyes opened to the truth, with a
determination to follow the pillar of light, that has
so suddenly broken upon their vision. Experience
though severe, generally proves an excellent teach

Accrortcr AT A Cutcus.—During a performance
at Lafayette, La., ou Sunday, the 13th inst., not less
than 3000 persons were in attendance. Heavy
rains had preceded the performance, rendering
the ground soft. The great weight emitted the
peons which sustained the seats td elide, so that a
row containing several hundred persons came
down with a sudden and tremendous crash. A
child of Mr. John Lambert had its thigh broken ;
another of Mr. Adam Wagner, an arm fractured::
Mr. lingers hail three ribs broken : besides several
contusions sustained by other individuals.
