LAST NOTICE!
We shall postpone striking the names of de
linquent subscribers off our books for two weeks.
A .number of them have already paid up, and
many others are probably waiting an opportunity
to do so. This they will have, during the next
term of Court, which commences on Monday.
We hope that all who wish to continuo the fid
zette, will see lite necessity of complying with
our cash terms, so long as we arc compelled to
pay the present enormous price for paper, and
hint those who do not care about it, will at least
have the hortesty to pay what they owe us, before
we part from them.
A GRATIFYING RESULT
The result of the election for 'United States
Senator, in this State, on Tuesday last, should
be gratifying to every honest citizen, of whatever
party. In the first place, a gentlemen has been
chosen whose integrity and capacity are unques
tionable; and in the El CAL place, the Democratic
party, having fairly elected a majority of mem
hlrs to the Legidature, were, upon every recog
nized principle of political justice and honor,
entitled to elect a Senator of (heir own kind.
This was freely admitted by the honorable men
of the Republican party, and it could not have
been defeated by any but the most infamous
means. It was well understood at Harrisburg,
that no Republican candidate, who would not
descend., to the knavery of attempting to corrupt
one or more Democratic members, by the offer of
enorgious money-bribes, could have any hope of
an election. That this attempt was made, and
that it was Lelievcd to have succeeded, is also well
known. That it failed, is what we think every
honest man should rejoice at; for the party or
the politician, that can obtain 811GCC913 in no other
way than by corruption and fraud, is utterly
unworthy of the respect or confidence of the I
people. Some of the violent Republican journals, I
looking, at this result only in the narrow view of I
a partizan defeat, are attempting to account for
aa,i to retaliate upon the victors, by the false
accusation that the free choice of the Legislature
was impeded by a mob, and that members were
iatithidated and overawed by threats of violence
and assassination. But this is all nonsense.
There was no greater crowd at Harrisburg during
the treent Seuafmial Caura,.. than has been sei•ii
there before, on many satailar eeeasious; and it
was really as cpilet and orlorly a crowd as ever

tit f laws were obeyed, and the peace and dignity
of the Commonwealth were preserved.
The Harrisburg l'airsut thus disposes of this
trumped-up charge of "mob influence" in a
nutshell " The Democrats elected a majority to
the Legislature, a majority to Congress, and
gave a majority to the State ticket. The State
was redeemed from Abolitionism, and was fairly
entitled to a S.,aatar to represent the sentiments
of it, pe,ple. This could only be prevented by
corruption and fraud, and this - corruption and
fraud the Abolitionists were prepared to practice.
The people were determined to prevent it, and
Ilia. There was no mob violence; but a voice,
potent and irresistible, had uttered the words,
"A Democrat shall be elected"—aud a Democrat
va...s elected. That's the simple truth."

The New senator from l'ennsyttwo
Last Monday evening, the lion. Ctical.SS It.
BIJOICALF.W. of Columbia county, was nominated
on the Orb ballot by the legislative caucus as the
Democratic candidate for United States Senator.
On Tuesday, he was elected in the Convention
of the Iwo Houses by a majority Of one, every
Democrat in the Legislature supporting him,
and the vote of every Republican being cast
against Lim. This result, in view of the high
character and position of the gentlemen who
were candidates for the Democratic nomination,
and in view of the peculiar cireutustnnces at
tending the election, cannot be ounsidered other
wise than as a personal triumph of the most
gratifying kind. But complimentary to himself
as he must regard this expression of public con
fidence, the people of Pennsylvania have equal
ground for felicitation in the success of a can
delete for Senator fitted by every quality of
(Manager and by ail the habits of his life to be
or service to the nation in the evil days which
are upon us, and the still more evil days which
are surely soon to come.
Mr. Bucwatew was born on the 28th day of
December, 1821, and at the date of the election
had just completed his forty-first year. He is the
descendant of one of the few families of Vogue•
note which settled in Pennsylvania upon the em
igration of that body of Protestants from France,
in conm - qatenee of the revocation of the Edict
of Nantes in 11185. The career of the Huguenots
in this country, has been marked and peculiar.
Their qualities seem to have been inbred. They
have produced for the service of this nation a
Mug list of most useful and most estimable
stateemen ; and it Will cast no discredit upon
that list, which embraces the names of Henry
Laurens and John Jay, to add to it the name of
. the newly elected Senator from Pennsylvania.
lie has all the physical developments, all the in
tellectual ability, all the reticence and repose of
manner, all the keen sense of personal honer,
all the unswerving political fidelity, all the de
voted attachment to friends, and all the firm,
calm courage which belonged to the leaders of
his race as welt its their hour of trial as in their
hour of triumph.
The early lite of the new Senator was passed
oa a farm situated on Uuntington creek, near
the line separating the counties of Lucerne and
Columbia. The estate of his father was divided
by this line. The farm where he was reared
was at tine foot of the Northwestern slope of tire
beautiful Knob Mountain, which extends in a
uniform and unbroken sweep from Bhickshinny,
in Lucerne, to Orangeville, in Columbia county.
The scenery of the locality, unknown and ob
scure es it is, is probably the most attractive in
Pennsylvania. The influence of physical con
ditions upon intellectual development, Lae of

Buckalew, who have been familiar with his his
tory and his birth-place have been accustomed
for-twenty years to connect the massive peculi
arities of his intellect—his eminent qualities of A

power, and adherence—with the imposing and

ESN
ate eataj education of Mr. duekalew was to
• sceordsuce. with It, circumstance- and position
a is:, tattler, and included oyez . , acquirement
that was essential to his subsequent success.
At the age of nineteen, he entered the office of
Morrison K Jackson, Esq., of Berwick, in Col
umbia county, as a student at law, and was ad
mitted to practice in the year 1813. About the
close of the year 1844, he opened an Olive in
Bloomsburg, in the same county, and in and
near that town he has since resided. His sue
' cess at the bar was early and rapid. It was a
common remark of Judges and leading lawyers
even at the outset that his opinion was as Safe, his
judgment as reliable, and his mind as mature as
could have been expected in the case of a first
rote lawyer of middle age. His capacity for la
bor was untiring, and in the trial and argument
of a cause, his ability to exactly meet its require
ments seemed instinctive. Ile possessed in the
practice of law the same unusual faculty which
he has always displayed in public life—the fac
ulty of using means precisely proportioned to
the end in view. There was no exhibition of
excessive force. He never indulged in exagger
ated forms of speech. His language was always
temperate, and his manner was always self pos
sessed. Members of the bar in the counties of
Imzerne and Columbia still remember with vivid
interest his professional triumphs, and still refer
with gruliac - ition to efforts which engrossed unu
sual attention arurremark in communities repre
sented in the profession by a large number of I
able men.
It is believed that all the members of Mr.
Buckaluw's family, during his residence at home,
were connected with the Whig party. But his
own political principles were based upon his own
convictions. While a student in Mr. Jackson's
office, and before he became a voter, his connec
tion with the Democracy was formed. His first
vote was given in 1845, an4l long previously his
political position had been fixed with the consis
tency and tenacity of his character. In the
Presidential campaign of 1841, he Wok ground
early fur Mr. Polk, and in a multitude of speeches
made in all the northern counties of the State ho
urged his support with a spirit, energy and effect
which, long before the campaign closed, render
ed him a marked and distinguished. man. In the
winter of 1845, immediately after the inaugura
tion of Governor Shenk, he was appointed by
Mr. Kane, the Attorney General, his deputy in
Colombia county. The duties of that office were
dieckarged as Mr. Buckalew has always dischar
ged every duty he has assumed, most thorough
ly and most etliciimily. From the time of his
appr iilltuent tip to the year 1850, be was eon
earoly identiti. , d with the pail kat movements of
hi m county aud district.. Ile was either a Sena-
Repro...Molise delegate to every Slate
Untrention dur:ng those years. His political
affinities were with the party of which the lion.
Andrew Beaumont was the recognized head. and
in 1818, be supported Samuel P. Collings, the
nominee of Lucerne county, for Congress, against
Hendrick B. Wright, the candidate or Columbia
anti Wyoming. In 1810, he was appointed one
of the. Commissioners to investigate the affairs of
the Bank of Susquehanna, county, and acquired
during the investigation some views in reference
to corporations and some impressions in relation
to men which materially affected his subsequent •
legislative action, and which have been followed 1
by some most salutary results,
lrr lciAtt, he was elected to the State Senate.
The relations of partied in his distrivt had lung
been modified by the etruggle for the removal of
the seat ol' justice of Columbia county from Dan
ville to Bloomsburg, and the contest was an cad
tea and bitter one. He was elected by a very
gratifying majority, the county of Lucerne giving
him a vote considerably exceeding the party
strength. In 1853, he was re-elected by a ma
jority largely increased. In the slimmer of 1851,
he was absent. in South America as a b‘mrer of
despatches from the United States g•rvornment to
the commander of the expedition against Para
guay. At the expiration of his second term, the
district had been changed by a new apportion
menu, and in the Columbia district, the office was
already filled. In 1557, he was Chairman of the
State Central Committee, and in that capacity
had charge of the campaign resulting in the
election of Governor Pucker, Judge Thou psou
and Judge Strong. The quiet vigor and skill
with which that contest was conducted, are well
remembered by the Democracy. The views an.
nounced during the canvass, followed as they
were by the assurances given in the Inaugural
Address in its reference to State politics, gave a
degree of confidence in the future to the people
of Pennsylvania which they had not felt for
years. This is no place for any allusion to
causes which destroyed the ground for that con
fidence. While -engaged in the duties of Chair
man of the State Committee, a contest for the
nomination of Senator in the Columbia District
was going on. The district was composed of
four counties, and after repeated and protracted
efforts, it was found that no one of the candi
dates presented by the County Conventions
would succeed. The name of Mr. Buckalew was
introduced at this stage of the contest, and the
result was his nomination by the conference on
the 110th ballot. He was elected and remained
in the Senate during the session of 1858, and at
its close was appointed with Judge Lewis and
Judge Knox upon the commission to revise the
Penal Code. In July, 1858, he was appointed
by President Buchanan American Minister in
Ecuador, and resigning his place in the Senate
and his position as Code Commissioner, he ac
cepted the appointment, left this country in
August, 1858, and remained abroad until AugUst,
1861. Since his return, he has resided in and
near Bloomsburg, where it his purpose to make
his home throughout iris life.
During the whole period of his service in the .
Senate, Mr. Buckalew was intimately identified
with the entire legislation and the whole politi
cal policy of the State. His theories of govern
ment were defined and matured long before it
became necessary to act upon tiled/. Starting
with the maxims of the framers of the Constitu
tion, whose views as to the relations of the Na
tional and State governments were precisely
those which Mr. Jefferson subsequently enforced,
and regretting the departure from the spirit of
those maxims which is apparent in the early ac
tion of the National Government, he was prepa
red, in entering public life, to accommodate
himself to the existing order of things, and to
aid in maintaining institutions which seemed
even then imperilled. To all questions connect
ed with Siam - interests, he gave careful investi
gation and immense labor. He has left upon the
statute book the results of his efforts in behalf of
sound principles in forms that are constantly and
practically beneficial and salutary. The State
is indobfed to him for much that is valuable in
the laws reletittg to eorporations, to the Demote
system, and to finance. He projected and car
tied through the constitutional amendments of
1857. The provision r gobbling the representa
tion of cities, embraced iu those amendments,
was the inauguration of au entirely norel theory
of ftindateeetal law in Pennsylvania, and it is
perhaps not too much to say, that the position of
nu other public man in the State was such as to
have enabled him. at that titue, to effect that
object • As already stated, Mr, Duckalew was
not in the Legislatu r e in the session of 1857,
and the Editor of this paper, at that time in the
Hebse of Representatives, remembers well the
sacrifice of time which be made for a public ob
ject, and the skill and vigor with which he pres
sed the adoption of the amendments.
Throughout his public life, the position of Mr.
Buekalew upon national questions has always
been distinct and avowed. No dread of local
Riad occasional unpopularity has ever induced
him to shrink from an. open proclamation of his
opinions when the circumstances of the time re
quired it. Ms disitussion of the Kansas-Nebras
ka bill of 1854, is still regarded as the clearest
and most satisfactory vindication of its propriety
which was elicited during the pendency of the
question. In that discussion, as in all others,
a careful avoidance of all personal attack and of
all party vituperation was manifest. Mr. Buck
slew never indulges in epithets. Ile employe no
phrases of current slang. Ills opinions are sta
ted with the precision and accuracy of a scienti
fic formula. In his speeches he uses no unike--
eessnry or superfluous word; and they are.
equally intelligible and attractive to the most
unlettered and the most cultivated hearer. His
style of oratory would be a model for the benob,
and ills perhaps to be regretted that he did not
devote himself to &judicial career.
Throughout his life, Mr. Buckalew's relations
with individuals have been marked by the steady
attachments ho has 'created. Often misjudged,
and subjected often to prejudiced attack, a steady
end consistent discharge of duty has converted
bitter enemies into warm and lasting friends
His strength among men of his own age through
out the State, is unparalleled, and in the late con•
test they have sustained him with enthusiasm and
unyielding firmness, Of the success or his fu
ture career there can be no doubt. On the 4th of
March he will go into the Senate of the United
States to take a pli'rt in the most tremendous
crisis of the nation's history, and in that part
he will most faithfully represent the views of
the Democracy of his maths State. That the
public service is henceforth to be benefitted by
the acquisition of a man of talents so rare, of
learning so profound, or Industry so untiring, of
courage so unshrinking, and of integrity so sus
tained as bis, every Pennsylvanian, reflecting
ou the hazards and•embarrassments of the late
contest, has reason to he devoutly grateful to the
Providence of God.

Journal of eaturday last, we nod undor the head of "City
and l'oeury A litre," that Mr. Knabb' anonymous car
respond.•nt" Lae again given vent to him bitter...3.s by w
eaning the Democratic City Clab, fur appointiog a commit
tee to Inventigo in the shouting ease which lately occurred
in Reading. Jadging from the author l e Indignation at
the.e proceeding., were he not no well known, one would
soppone Illm to be the inearnatlett of parity. If Me has
so shocked him moral feelloge, with what horror meat ho
contemplate tho robberies which were lately committed in
shaving shops and by substitute broker.? What wonid he
may of one, who can all him pocket with the bard earnings
of a sick and poor rose, merely for getting an ink mark
drown Over his nan.e, when drafted by mistake into the
service of him country. As to this scenes of the French Re
volution, to which the Journal refers, they Lave been in
part re enacted, in the disgraceful outrages upon the tibia-
Ilea of the people, committed by mobs and government
hireling., ..c raged and instigalea by ouch unprincipled
abolition tyrants as himself. As to the "Club of cut
throats" of which he speaks, he Can find a most lifelike
picture in the corporation of thieves and substitute brokers,
armociated together dating the recent draft, fur the purpose
of extorting mosey from the people.
Let it be remembered that the Democratic Club, In this
matter, has not imitated this correepoudent's example.
ThEy have not acted an partizan.. but as eldrons. Though
assembled for a different purpose. It was their right and
ditty as law-abiding citizen; to inquire Into this affair.
A homicide had been committed. A citizen had been shot
down in cold blood, in the streets of Reading, white the
offenders ware still at large ; a circumstance never Wefore
heard of in a civilized community. In addition to this, an
attempt had been made to gall the people, by telling niece
that the defendants were in the "custody of the law,"
though walking the streets of Reading to abase and Inenit
Citizens, pretending to act ander military authority. Re
sides this, there were rumors, of course 'kerning from their
couueel, tbitt . the defendants were only to hive a sort of a
mock- trial by a court marital. It was not the intention of
a single member of the Club, to dictate to any civil autho
rities as to the manner in which the offenders should he
tried ; but the qtiestion considered wee, whether they were
to have a trial at all according to the laws of our country.
All the .7....cluate l*possitleal cant about the parity of
the Court, As., le therefore entirely uncalled for, and may
very properly be compared to the efforts of a knave to ac
complish his corrupt purpose by flattering oillcere of the
law, and Judicial Tribunals.
It was also well known to the Club, that the defendants
wero.under the tarmacs of a certain political bigot, whom
they bad employed as counsel, and that under hie direction
the authority for committing the defendants to prison, was
never executed. Our citizens, though peaceable, would
never have submitted to this outrage. Had there been a
popular outbreak, the responsibility would have remained
with those who encouraged thin mockery of pnblicj notice.
The troth of it te, the action of the Club had the desired
effect. The on - endue were afterwards incarcerated, and
the manner in Which this wee accomplished, the writer
very well knows. It will be of no avail therefore for him
to rave like a madman now, and to spit out his venom at
members of the Club by calling them "cut throats" and
other hard names. Fortunate le II for him that In his abuse
of Others, he can bide the Infamy which attaches to his
been name, under the columns Of a public journal,
There is something qui:e remarkable about this article.
While it brands the Club as a " nest of traitor.," it makes
one grand exception by saying that there are some "good,
loyal cod patriotic man, who oemmtonally attend Its meet
loge." Who are these " good, loyal and patriotic men r"
vi hat this critic calls "good, loyal, and patriotic," can be
nothing else than incarnate treachery, and to view of tbis,
it may be well for the members of the Chub lo inquire
whether there are not some persons oroasionaltk attending
its meetings se spies, who make known its proceeding to
this jtvlicial rancor, and assist bins in misconstruing
them, to enable him thereby to slander and abuse its mem
bers. Let Lientocrets hereafterbe on their guard.
It may be said, in conclusion, that the Club did not make
this a political question, hot suppose it Wile discovered
that by some low political hatrigno, justice was about to be
cheated of its 'victims, The Cleo would then have bad a
right to make the question a political oar, eon the com
tenuity would have justified it. It Is hardly utweiticary to
state that ouch it polincal intrigue Wes claim discovered,
and the result of d had it not been timely thwarted, would
have been, to let the orfendere go entirely unpuniehed.

UNITED STATES SENATORS,—COL TAMES W.
WALL, (Dem.) of Burlington, was elected United
States Senator, on the first ballot, by the New-
Jersey Legislature, on Wednesday last. The
voted stood as follows James W. Wall, 53;
Richard S. Field, 22; William Cook, 2; William
A. Newell; 1.
Col, Wall was, about a year ago, imprisoned in
Fort Lafayette, by order of the Secretary of War,
on a charge of "disloyalty," which never was
proved ; and after confinement for some months,
he was liberated unconditionally, with shattered
health, from which he has not yet recovered. Ile
now goes to Washington to confront his false
Accusers in a position that will give him power
to make them feel what retributive justice is;
The.Legialature of Indiana, in Joint Conven-
Lien, on Wednesday. elected T. A. Hendricks and
David Turpie, (Dettmerais,) United States Sena
tore, die latter for the short Term.

Ron. ALICCANDER RAMSEY Was, on Wednesday,

March, in place of Mr. Rice. The Senator elect
is a native of Pennsylvania, and represented the
Dauphin and Northumberland district in Congress

under the Taylor and Fillmore Administration,

enclosing a copy of one from Gen. Meade to Gen.
Franklin,. relative to recruiting the regiments
Constituting the Pennsylvania Reserves, and
asking that the to:meant. of that gallant body of
men-be ordered to Harrisburg in order to fill its
ranks.
In reply, the Secretary directs me to say that
there are numerous applications of this kind on
file, in regard to regiments from other States,
which have been greatly reduced in recent bat
tles. if one such request be acceded to, all sim
ilar applications must be granted. This would
so reduce the armies in the field as not only to
•reveat any further operations for the. nest
three or four months, but to endanger important
positions now held by us.
The IV:Le Department has uniformly refused
applications of this kind, and cannot, at the
