He wilkif elected, ilministcr justice judicial

and demagogueism he makes no -effort to
rivalWilmot—hoh in fact entirely free froni
the vices . that distagnish the moral charac
ter of the patenteeof the Proviso. •
For six years he people of this - District
have groaned undtt-Wilitte6 maladminis
tration; they hate now an opportunity to
substitute for a brawling politician . , sun' able
lawyer and upright man. We commend
Mr. Patrick to their ;Mirage:snot as a Demo
crat, or as a Republican, but as a man quali
fled in .every respect to property discharge
the delicate and labciious duties of the office
of President Judge. It •is time that in the'
selection of a judicial officer, mental,,.moral '
and legal qualticatOns, should outweigh
party attachments; that the ermine should
be stripped from the shoulders of a dema
gogue who . has evinced the spirit of atyrant,
and a total want cf self-respect, in many of I
his rulings.and in hisintercourse with scrams.'
So thOroughly is Wilmot's judicial character
undeistcod and so heartily is it detested by !
‘ our fellow-citizen ? without distinction of par
ty, that we expect to see them spurn the die
cation of wire-pullers and act out their hon
est convictions, by repudiating the man who
has so often repudiated decency and truth ill ;
his schemes for self agrandizement. We know
Mr. Patrick deserves the contatence auu
-teem of the people; and we expect to see
them rally to his support with a zeal and
success that shall make_the drill sergeants
of party tremble in'. their boots, and teach ;
them that they cannot forever harneis the
freemen of this District to the mud-cart of
him they loath, and to schemes ag:tinst which
true manhood instinctively rebels.
We understand that Wilmot has set his
risyruridoms xt work to invent a nd circulate J
liar to injure Mr. Patrick, in public estinsa,
tion. We warn our fellow-citizens against
all stories put in circulation, to help the for
tunes of the demoralized Wilmot, by blasting 1
the fair fame of his competitor.
tgr The coward Wilmot having beard
that 16 fortunes were on the wane in our
county, came up to the Fair, and- brought a.
long a number of his Bradford toadies to
1 . awe the refractory into submission. 'Tis
said that the spirit of insurrection which he
could not altogether quell, sent him homy in
a very desponding mood. Bow cruel iti his
Susquehanna parasites, to cause their master
..o much trouble I We advise him to create
a regency in this placo,wbose duty it @hall be
to subdue any exhibition of independence and
manhood, which some of his adherents are
likely to be led into. HoW kind in David
to - Lting Reed Meyer and John Passmore up
from Bradford to teach these Susquehanna
innocents, that uncomplaining submission to
him they loathe, is an imperative duty.
Su afraid is Wilmot that the popular feel
ing against him, will - break through party,
discipline, that a democrat cannot leave
:Towanda on a visit to his friends, without
having the proprietor of "my district" close
at his heels, lie is sure to imagine that seine
plot for his ruin is about to be concocted ;
that the "slave power" is - running up and
down the country with deliberate intent to
dethrone the man who disgraces the Bench
in the 13th Judicial district. It is said-ghat
this. peculiarity of the man's mind_ brought
him here last week in pursuit of Col. Bull,—
a very amiable gentleman who probably
reser thou& of giving a neighbor so much
anxiety and trouble..
Seriously, it is , an insult to the people of
this County, for Wilmot to exercise the office
of spy and tyrant over them at one and the
same time. It is a shame too - ILA his pro.
raises, and his whining mendicancy should
induce intelligent men to abandon their
conscientious convictions and sense of duty.

'I hat Simeon B. Chase is not a poper man
is shown by every act of his Legislative
career, Ile has been a selfish _aristocrat,
ILaboring for his own 'benefit and that of a
very few favorite pets, -while the Pnotmc
have been treated with scornful contempt,
their Metnorials kicked under the table with-.
out decent. resPect, and their hard-earned
money-slipped into his pocket contrary to all
law or precedent. From his first trick of
procuring a petty peddling law to his vote
for an increase of his own salary, his course
has been one of continual selfishness and
favOritisrn. A dozen - men get him Id procure
she enactment of a law to affect t'ho whole
pe(?pie: of the county ; a single man, by writ
lug a private letter, enlists his services in a
contemptible act to punish the boys of
neighborhood for catching fish from a pond
beeause it lies adjoining to or upon the lands
dionitary. Bat when
offer a thousand voters, claiming to represent
the voice of a,lorge majority of the county,
ask bim to represent teem, be treats them
with Undisguised contempt. We refer to the
petitions in favor of changes in the Common
School Law, relative espeeially to the office
of County Superintendent in this County.
Petitions were hastily circulated throughout
portions of the couniy, and over 1200 names,
procured. These were rent to Harrisburg
with the expectation that-he would Mier a
bill-forthe proposed changes. A week or
two after We reception of the petitions, we
stated in the Democrat that no member seem
ed to take interest enough in the - matter to
offer a bill for-the change. Mr. Chase sent
us a letter stating that we were mistaken—
that Mr. Stephens cf Wayne county had a
bill pending in relation to the Schoul system - ,
and demanding of us' to correct our error.
Our response was that. we were not mistaken,.
that Mr. Stephens' bill
. not propose to
comply_ with the prayer of the petitions from
this calnib - at all. it a.matter foreign '
to them, the character . of his bit! being inoie i
obnOxious to tee. anti : superintendenoy men of
this county, than the ,present law. But sup
pose Mr. Chase is allowed the benefit of the
plea that his non-action in relation to the
petitions from this county was in anticipation
of the passage of Mr. Stephens' bill. We
find by reference to the record that Mr. Chase
voted to postpone the whole subject indefinitely
when Mr. Stephens' bill was introduced,
showing that he was hostile - to aity change
• in the law. The feel is, that Mr. Chase was
afraid to commit himself in favor of the
change asked fur in this county, and
. yet he
dared not openly oppose it. Ilis' game was
to treat the subject with contempt, and de
prive his constituents of a, hearing. But
a s frer six weeks delay; just on the eve of ad
-1 joninment, after he knew it was too late 'for
a bill to mature, he insulted his petitioners
I by the introduction of a bill ! Of, course it
died a natural death, just as Mr. Chase desir,
ed it should. By this means he hoped to
escape the indignation_ of those whose confi
dence he had betrayed, but we are much
mistaken if he does not, hear and feel the
effects of his treachery on Tuesday next.
Mr. Chase and his Mende can not plead as
an apology for his coursein this matter that
be did not favor e the change. . IN was,our
Representative,.. and bound in duty and honor
to carry out the wisit of his constituents. If
he could not consistently vote s for what they'
asked, he—could have offered a Li!! and
honestly and openly voted against it, giving
his reasons fur it. -Nor need his plead that
such a bill could not have been passed. That
remained to be tested. There is but one ex-
planation of thO matter.: ile ,treitted . tiMir
memorial with
contempt,
,and should
receive lds reward -at the proper fireweed
-.piece. We do not ♦make this a partrques
tiefi7—we.should oppose such 'a propoiltiou.
It, is' a pcisonallaffair, with 'llr._ Chase. ire

a matter of certainty I Undoubtedly it can.
If those who see the actual benefit to be de

he is a badly whipped Mau. Ali that is
needed is to call the MECUIIOII or eltry tax

of the . mass of his constituents, and permitted
himself to be made a tool of by a'favoredsfeW

Sabbath School Festival.

a scene of surpassing beauty in the little vil

,At about half past ten o'cidck the
childten and people commenced coming.
The.streets were lined in every dire6tiOn with
carriages, four and six horse tearns i 'banners,
tiags, music anti. singing. - The children in
attendance numbered about 32.5, who were
• formed in two cuiutnuc=thel,c sin 'one•and
the-ghls in-mother. The spectators - numb
ered, probably, about the same, wilo • were
marshalled in the same order in he rear of
the children,—the whole being 'under the
guide and charge of Daniel Mcdolfurn and
his aids, the Marshals of the day who dis
charged their ditty . it the most' satisfactrty
manlier, and as but few would do so. This
arrangement completed, the line of march
was taken to enter the Church,—the two
columns entering stimultaneously at each
door, and being seated by per. , ons having
charge of the aisles, while Miss Lines, from
beautifully-toned melodeon, discoursed music.
The masses seated,as far as the church would
hold them, the Bey. J. F.-Wilbnr was then_
called upon to take charge upon tlieLTUrther*
exercises; Quiet and order' prevailing, the
exercises were opened by singing ,a'.fiymn
