SMITH, THE AMERICAN DIVER.
we noticed a short time since, a daring
but successful leap made by this fortunn
achieving and dauntless young Ameiican
from the lamp-post on Sunderland Brigde,
Lngland. rrom our papers by the Britan
nia, wc perceive that he has taken
another 'leap from the same place, whic
came near losing his life. The height fro
whicti
tn
which he jumped, it will be remembered, is
ILO feet. A correspondent of the Northern
Times give the following purticulars of the
result ;
When Smith arrived at the stiiface of ihe
water the shock was tremendous. It an
peared that ins rghl lower extremities first
touched the water. He disappeaied for
about two or' three seconds, and then com
menced to swim must gallantly. I order-
trie boat lo make for him with all speed, but
another boat being nearer lo him, dragged
him into it. I then saw that he lay against
one of the boatman in a state of inaction.

wrist had ceased. 1 opened his hands,
and struck them with my own open hands
several times, when he appeared tn return

also, that the current of wind, whibh was
much greater than he expected, 'slewed'
him around in his descent, and that wind
was taken out of him. I begged that he
would go as quietly to his quarteis as he
could,- and that every eare would be taken
of him. I returned to his quitters, at Win
ter's Hotel, near the bridge, and found him
haranguing the people who were assembled
in the street in front of the house. This l

THE LOCAL QUESTION.
T,ho Danville faction through their organ,
the Intelligencer, echo the assertion of the
Berwick Sentinel, "lhat .the division. men.as.
a body, voted fur Snyder, as a choice of
evils," and reiterate their arguments in favor
of a division, thus proving conclusively, our
assertion, before, the election, that they
would aid the division so lar os it lay in
their power. VV w.oie prepared for them
to gecretely operate with the members of
the, legislature in. favor of a division, .but we
could not .belie ve that they would, thus.
openly, so soon after the election, and so
soon too, after their strong assertions,
throughout the. county, lhat they would op-.
pose, a diyision under all circumstances,
advocates division, a pleasure, so utterly'
destructive. (o the best interests of the coun'
tv, and so decidedly agunst the interest
and wishes of all, except, a few interested
v-.Jnai. anllixijucVaad Danville. But
it seems, having become desperate al the
thought of a removal, and knowing no other
way to head the strong expression in the
county In its favor, they are now determin
ed to saenhee the county to their own cu
pidity, thai is, effect a division let the
consequences do
what they may. Will
they be able to do it? Will the people of
the county permit it! Will they allow thu
county of Columbia to bo struck almost
entirely from existence that a few individu
als in Danville may be' benefitted thereby!'
How are they to do Ul Who are to aid
them. Columbia county is decidedly op
posed to it, so much so that the Danville
candidate for the legislature was compelled
to pledge himself against it, to begin, to
eel any thing like a vote. The inhabitants
ircluded within tho .limits of the new
county, are NINE out of TEN opposed to
it. Luzerne county as a body, as well as
the Inhabitants within its proposed limits
are opposed lo it. The members from
Luzerne and Columbia aie pledged against
it. Will" Senator Headley with alt this
Btiuug cajicubiuii vi i.io jouiid against,
sustain it! We cannot believe it. He is
too much of a democrat, and has (oo
regard for the voice of the people
much
to go
counter to so strong an expression of their
Will as there is in this case. Will the leg
islature for one moment under the circum
stances, entertain a proposition of the kind!
No, they will not, they cannot, if they un
derstand the circumstances rightly. Then
how do they calculate to effect it! By mys
tif Vine the priuciplts upon which the late
election wis decided, and to do this, they
are trying to prove that, which, no one "in
their hearts believe," not even the editors
of the Berwick Sentinel, lhat -'the division
men, as a body, voted for Snyder."
A great Miller camp meeting has been
held at Newark, N. Jersey. It is said that
several thousand people were in attendance
Miller appears to be deteimined to make
the oeople belicvo that the second advent
will be on the 23d of April next.
W. S. Derrick, Esq. of Philadelphia,
arrived at New York, on Sunday last.fiom
England, bringing with him the ratification
f the late treaty between thal: country and

'flie janvjlle Jacjion-having no W openly
and u'nresorvctlly expressed "their determin
ation to effect.n division, tvhnt'is the duty
of those opposed to a division? .Either a
division or removal -will' be effected tho
coming, session of the legislature. Every
man who, opposes a removal , will , be
considered by tho division faction as in
their favor. They will pretend that it is
vittualls saying, we prefer a division lo a
removal. Then every man in tho county
must take his position either for or against
division, and if he wishes to prevent a divi
sion he must take an active part for the re
moral as the only preventative against it,-
There must be.no luko warmness in the
matter, All should put their slioulder to
the wheel, foflt is a causa in which all are
deeply interested, . not only' for themselves,
but for their posterity. A .division ruins
the. county forever. ,A removal keeps the
county together, and makes it eventually,
one of the richest and mosl.popnloae coun
ties in the state, of its territory. Then let
every well wisher of Columbia county de
nounce a division, and .all who raise their
auctdel arms to effect it.
We du not thank our friend, the editor of'
the Union Times for his advice to us not lo
enlarge our paper, as he appears to know
as little about our prospects, and the ability
of the removal party to sustain a handsome
street, as he appeals to know the principles
upon which our late election was decided,
Nor do we or the people of Columbia coun
ty, thank him for interfering in their local
concerns, and recommending, a division of
our county, against the wishes of nineteen
twentieths of its inhabilants, merely because
he thinks some of his neighbors want a
division of Union county. We shall not
consent to the division of Columbia county,
lo gutify the wishes of tho Danville faction
whether expressed through tho Danville
Intelligencer or tho .Union Times. Let
Columbia county alone, our good fricnd.aitd
we will not inlerere with Union county.
Beware in time, and not permit your paw
to be used to rake open a bed. ofcoals, for
others to cook their meat upon.
THE NEXT PRESIDENT.
The Slate Capitol Gazette, in speaking.
of the candidate for the Presidency, makes
tha
following judicious remarks: "The
unanimous action of the democracy .of
Pennsylvania, is the best omen of the har
mony and zeal which will, secure the elec
tion of their fayoijle, should hp receive the
nomination of a National Convention. With
oku voice will the 8tli of January Conven
tion recommend JAMES BUCHANAN,
and. with every exultation will his nomina
tion be received by the democratic republi
cans of the Sate. The admiration, of his
talents and principles are unbounded, and
their love for the man is spontaneous. But
how. could it be otherwise? His moral
character is ur.cullied even beyond the
reproach of his vindictive federal opponents;
and as a statesman, no one claims superior
knowledge of the laws, and science of go
vernment. His eminent talents are aided
. . r
by long experience in various and impor
tant stations, and as a leading member of
the great democratic party, he has always
firmly and zealously contended for,, its ven
erated faith apd doctrines,: He enjoys the
full confidence and esteem of the entire de
mpcraiic, party, of the Union, and is peculi
arily the favorite of the great and good men
whom the democracy have delighted lo
honor; and his bitterest opponents are found
amongst the leading enemies of Jefferson
and Jackson such as villified. the author of
our declaration of Independence, . apd who
thought) Madison "worthy of a halter")
He is tho architect of his own fortune and
greatness, having sprung from an humble,
though respectable family heis intimately
acquainted with the interests and feelings
of the people, and he has always boldly and
eloquently represented their wants, aud
contended for their rights. , In his deport
ment he is ihe gentleman and scholar; affa-j
ble in his manners, courteous and accessible
to all, anil in his intercourse smh his fellow
citizens clearly proves himself one of the
people. Such is JAMES BUCHANAN,
feebly described; and should the democracy
select him as the Chief Magistrate of the,
Union, they-would find him ever steadfast
in the support of their cardinal principles,
and ever zealous in promoting the happiness
and advocating tho interests of-the American
people. -

rally from the numerous clans of (tie ' great
republican family. His principles are iden
tified with the democracy;1 and his name
would prove a host in secdring their per
petuation.
FOR THE: COLUMBIA DEMOCRAT.
The political campaign for 1842, in tho
county of Columbia, now being closed, it is
very natural to inquijpjag ta the result.
What then have the victors gained! And
what have the vanquished ;losi? First then
what have the victors gained? Mueh every
way. They have gained a most glorious,
bloodles9,'Aind triumphant victory, in elect
ing the wMUuis kis.yjuv-A! 'J iurttsr,
without the LOSS OF, A SINGLE MAN,
and let (his fact be but fairly brought before
the intelligence of our state legislature, and
I feel satisfied, that the long sought and
prayed for act of justice, (the removal of tho
seal of justice from Danillo to some more
central position) will al once be efleeted, so
far as the legislature is concerned. They
have gained tho approbation, not only of tho
friends of justice arid their own conscience,
bui they have gai.icd tha admiration of their
opponenta.by the bold and firmstavd which
they look and maintained, by their, honest
and Rtrailforwurd course of conduct, and
such advantages gained, 6penk loud in faroE
of the intelligence of those by whom they
were gained, They have gained a knowl
edge of their own strength and resources,
which could be gained in no other way
possible. Then, take nil the points gained,
and they constitute a prize worth contend
ing for, and that manfully, and manfully
indeed did the victors' contend.
And what have the vanquished loslfThey
havo lost time, labor friends, confidence
and money.
Then. I say, friends, ant fellow soldierfi
in this campaign in which our causo has
been triumphant, let us not domineer over
a fallen foe. Seeing their heavy losses let
u nity that obstinacy of disposition, that
haa so long prompted them to withhold
justice, and to glory in such a cause. No
one, t presume, will pietend to say, that i
am incorrect in my vrews on this point. I
mean the obstinacy of disposition in our op
ponents.in refusing to grant the demands of
justice. ISay, they have even lost more.
I hey have lost the, power of redeeming the
pledge mado to the legislature last session,
that it was morrally impossible to elect K
removal man upon removal principles,
And yet, notwithstanding all the loss
sustained by the vanquished) some of the
leaders are now laboring to put a false col
oring upon the result of the election. This
I hold to be downright dishonesty. Would
it not show more of honesty, 'to frankly
acknowledge that tho cause of removal has ,
signally triumphed over the caUEO of divi
sion, and acqujesce in the true principle of
democracy, that the majority should always
ruie wnen ineir views are ngni, wrircu
will admit is true in this case.
There are mny.patdrti6ns why P'
