SuERirr, ' Fotor Billmycn Tkeasureb, Amandus Levers Commissioner, JoscphYcttcr. Coroner, Andrew Freas Auditor, Samuel Johnson County Auditor. By reference to the County Democratic Ticket, t the head of our paper, it will be observed that Col. Hiram R. Kust, who wai nominated for Auditor, hi declined, and that L. B. Rupert, Esq .Chairman of the Democratic Standing Com mittee, with the advice and consent of hia col leagues, hat tubstituted the name of Mr. Samuel Jomuow, of Mount Pleasant, who wa next highest on vote before the Convention. Our County Ticket. "We take up our pen for the purpose of epea king briefly of the Democratic county Ticket. Two weokt almost, have now elapsed, aince it was formaand we have had opportunity of learn ing the feeling of the citizens of Columbia county on the subject. That all are satisfied we will not pretend to say, as such au instance would be unusual, but we fell well assured that It is a good Ticket, and should receive the cordial support of every democratic voter in Columbia county : Johiv McRbtkolds, the nominee for Assembly, is one of our oldest and most respectable demo cratic citizens, distinguished alike for the urban ity his manners and the noble impulses of a gen erous disposition, combining with active busi-cass-qualifications public experience and very extensive acquaintance. The strong vote given Mr. MclteytwIJs, in Convention by these who .know himbefl is the highest endorsement required at home and abroad. We predict his election by over a thousand majority. Peter Bii.lmyer, is the Democratic nominee . fr Sharif. Ha is a young man of sterling worth, fair business qualifications and proverbial hones ty. His nomination is a high compliment to the Democracy of Liberty township, and must be .personally gratifying to his strong family con nexion, whose devotion to sound Democratic prin ciples is unexcelled by any other inlPenusylva nia. Amanhus Levers, the candidate for Treasu tm.is a correct accountant.and a very active busi ness man. Ke is one of the indomitable sons of old Democratic Derry, and brought with him into Convention, the strongest recommendation even presented by the lower townships for any candidate in Columbia county. We need scarce inform cur friend, that when the office of Trea surer was, by commtn consent, acceded to that -section, that Major Levers, was clearly their choice, and will make an efficient public officer. JomtH Yktter, was the almost unanimous choice of Columbia county, and the strong man from the eaal eide of the river for County Com missioner. He is a farmer a good, strong-minded, business man, and deserves the vote and con fidence of the whole county. Mr. Yettcr it one of the people, and the people will duly appre ciate his moral and political worth. Andrew Freas, is nominated for Coroner. There may he as good men but there is no better man than Mr. Freas, in Columbia. Centre township has strong claims and ber claims and her candidate will be gloriously and triumphant ly sustained. Samuel, Johksoi, the other upper-end can didate, is on the Ticket for Auditor. Mr. John son, like Messrs. Yelter & Freas, is a plain hon eat farmar a man of correct deportment and very fair business-abilities. In liim the county wit! luve an honest man and faithful officer. Democrats of Columbia, let our watch-word be 'the "Ticket, the whole Ticket, AND NOTHING BUT THE TICKET." 1 COO. We are desirout that e ve y voter should be at the polls on the day of election. Let us show the Whigj, that we can give to John A. Gamble, in this couuty, our old fashioned majority of lGOO. The party is at Ftvung as ever ; unity alone is re quired. It it tru, lust fall many of our friends strayed away and followed after false gods, but most have returned, and to the rest we say compare the parties. Where reason has her eway we do not fear, and now, after taking the second sober thought, know our friends will come Dick. Let no tain despair of the Republic. The Herald of Freedom. Our neighbor, Mr. John Case, A worthy citizen of this place, Always good on a long chase. Has embarked in the Editorial race : And ha issued a Prospectus for a new weekly paper, in quarto form, bearing the above title, to be published about the first if next December, in Bloonwburg. Trice $3 per annum payable inva riably in advance. The Editor proposes, among other leading features of the lift aid, that it will advocatethe natural and moral tight nf every hu man being to land enough to make him a home on the earth, without money or price, to actual landless cititen settlers. "Consistency thou art a Jewel The Pennsylvania Telegraph is down upon John A. Gamble, because be never was to col lege, and intimates, that one of the peculiar mer its of Henri M Fuller is, that he is a graduate. These Editors, in their blind party zeal, have probably forgotten the anecdote of the calf that sucked two cowh. We will not repeat it now, even fur their edification, but merely remark, that things have very materially changed to the Whig party, since General Tiylor was a candidate fur the Presidency. Then, the good, strong, solid tense of their nominee was of more worth to hitn and the coun try, than all the education and experience even nf Mr. Clay, himself. How circumstances alter cates. That which waa a virtue in General Tay lor, is a vice in John A. Gamble and that which fitted Zachary Taylor to be President of this great republic, is just the thing, which unfits John A. Gamble for Canal Commissioner. When the Editon of the Telegraph, assert that John A. Gamble, has "no other qualification" for office, "than his unmitigated ignorance and inca pacity for business," they say what they know to be false. The Democratic nominee ii the supe rior of Henry M. Fulltr in every thing that constitutes qualification for the office of Canal Commissioner. The great taU-nli .which the Telegraph imputes to its nominee, certainly did not show themselves iu bit representative career of last winter. But we have already said more than wt intend ed when we took up the quill. We wished mere ly to point out to the Editors the inconsistent po sition, they, as politicians, occupy. But, Gentle men, you mey triumph over th nomination of Mr. Fuller, as he is the first candidate you have had for many a year who hat had more than a common school education. But at Fuller will be beaten "it it of no consequence," at Mr. Toots would say. Pontics' " Hang out (he banner on the outer wall, The cry is, itill tiny tome." So far as the Democratic party are concerned' the. campaign it now fairly opened. From John A. Gamble to the lowest nominee on our tickets, tha Democracy have nothing to fear. We do not recollect ever to have teen a time, when the whigs have so tacitly conceded a complete victory to the Democratic party. This we are pleated to tee. It thowt that it is an undisputed fact, that the people are entirely satisfied with li hig Taylorum, that they are anxious to change it, for the good old regime, when they could have confidence in the govern ment, and aie willing to place it again in the hands of those, who are able to administer it. This is as it should be. Capital is trying to be made of the fact, that, after paying the semi-annual interest, the Stale Treasurer appropriated a considerable amount of surplus revenue, to the completion of the North Branch Canal. What humbuggery'! According to law nothing else could he done. Would they have their officers go contrary to the Act of As sembly ? Or is it to teldom that a Whig officer does his duty, that hit honesty must be heralded from one end of the Slate to the other ? What merit is due to the administration ? It does what the law commands. Do the Whigs think they can pull wool over the eyes of the people on this subject, and thus secure an election to Henry M Fuller ? If that it the game, we shall endeavor to let them into the whole secret. "The truth is, that the country havirg got along for several years past, with a mm nomi nal President, now we have a real one, the Ex aminer is all out o' torts." fjfj- The above is extracted, italics and all, from the "Commonwealth," Washington, Pa. It is a gom.aa showing up some more of the beautiful consistency or the Whig party. While Polk was yet in power, the Whig organs assailed him, s being self-willed and tyrannical, beyond even the wish, o( the aovrcijjns of Europo. He was sreu sed of taking power trom the hands of Congress, of declaring war, and we believe, of making peace. He was proclaimed by Whig srump speak ers to be "the fountain of power" and it was asserted that he even governed Congress, by in ducing them to adopt and enact such measures, as he proposed, for the good of the country. JVom, the man w ho done all thesn things was amero nominal Prcsidnnt;" but General Tay lor, who makes no suggestions, became he has none to make; does not tell them what to do, because he it ignorant of what should bo done, is " a real one." How timet havo altered, Mr. "Commonwealth," since J.n. K. Polk wss in power, and your opinions wlso. This -it another specimen of ground and lofiy tumbling.

On our firfl page this week, we have ra-published the proceedings of the Democratic County Convention, corrected and revised, as we discovered on investigation, that several errors appeared in the balloting, as pub lished in the last week's Democrat. fcj- Henry A.

Tha con trast may well btwilder ut. Wt may readily be come intoxicated by or own broud position. Our majestic Union the sweet content ibat bles ses every threshold, tnd illuminates every hearth stonethe calm and placid Freedom that makes all men equal are indeed in favorable contratt with the stale of things in I lit old world. But it it not all night in Europe. Dark and dreary as the prospect it, there are tlill tome gleamt of sunshine toenliven ut. Lett than two yean ago, when the fire of Revolution broke out on the barricadetof Parit, 4he crowned heads were strong, confident, and arrogant, in supposed inviolability and power. Since then, what have they not lost, and to recover what they have re gained, bow many lives bive they not sacrificed ! how many millions have they not lavished ! It it nothing that France has secured univertal suffrage that resistless right before which am bitious traitort hide their diminished heads ap palledthat inappreciable blessing which, once enjoyed, it only yielded with tha very life of Freedom itself! It it nothing that Prussia .hat had ictroduced into her polity the elements of a wise and intelligent progress f It it nothing that the Pope returns to Rome, aidtd by foreign bay onets, and yet only able to secure "peace" and "order" to hit domiuiont by promising to re store to them liberal institutions Suppose Hungary goes back to Austria; will the latter dare to oppress a people that defied Russia and herself combined, while Power rioted in its tri umphs in marinaded Italy, in Berlin, and in Pa rit I Let ut answer these questions to ourselves, before we give way to the belief that Europe is about to become Cossack. It is the very cant of conservatism the very error cf alarm the vwy panic of weak minds 4 o say so. Never before have the tyrants of the world had such difficulty to maintain their position, at within the last year end a half. That they have been compelled to yield many of their moat rheiitbed privileges, in order to maintain it, it beyond all doubt. For every future ttruggle, they will, it it true, set new guards, and create new resources, but it it easy to tee how the end mutt be, if every conteat with the masses leaves them more and more shorn of their prerogatives and their strength. The re demption of the old world may not bt so near as it was yesterday, but it is equally certain to coratj. The more liberal governments of Europt will not, wt are sure, stand by and see future at rocities like those of Russia in Hungary, or Franca in Rome, without forcible interposition. They were unprepared to act in regard to 'them heretofore; their suddenness left them hardly time to act; but their own people will ba sure to force them to do to hereafter. Do not. then, let ut dctpondingly cry rmt, that "all is lost." Much remains upon which the cause of Human Progress may build the strongest hopes, and upon which tha 'People may arm for new snuggles, and, let us hope, new triumphs. Is Hungary Fallen The newspaperi generally teem to give up the cause of Hungary. We do not at jet, sayt the Timtt and Keystone. We gave our reasons, on Friday, for hopirgthat tha ttatemen't brought by the Niagara were exaggerated, if not in many important respects erroneous. We have had no occasion to change onr views. It is true that our apprehensions are very great. We cannot but fear, as we have always feared,that Hungary with out money, without provisions, without aid, with every nation of Europe looking coldly en her struggle (or freedom, and with a foe at 'her face and back too formidable to be treated but with a desperate 'hope of misfortune : we cannot but fear that Hungary, if not fallen, is doomed to fall a victim to the diplomacy of tha age. Still, in spite of all this apprehension, the late news is certain ly so confused, so uncertain, and derived from such apocryphal source, that -we insist upon it wa are at liberty to pause for further intelligence before we relinquish ourselves to absolute despair. Hungary has Right and'H'imanity on her aide. Heaven is always just, but its justice is not al ways in accordance with onr poor notions; for, unfortunately, the hest of us can but see a part and not the whole current of human events, from which to form a judgement. Hence the French maxim that "God is always on the side of the heaviest artillery," contains, alas! too much truth, as history informs us. Hungary, therefore, though right, may be overthrown though worthy of I'reedum may have fallen in the weak-handed struggle. God forbid ! Note The news received by the Europa, confirms the defeat of the Hungarians. The Elections of 1810 The Washington Union publishes a full com parison of the votes of 164S and 1SI9 in the States that have, this season, held elections. The result is highly gratifying to all who believe in the righteousness of Democratic, principles. Five States have held elections thus far. The compar ison stands in them as follows : Democratic gain in five Stales, com plete, since last November Democratic gain in contested portions of four olhr States - 17,690 22,172 Total democratic gain . 40,062 A corresponding pain in the whole Uni on (which the ballot-boxes will more than exhibit) would leave the administration in a minority of 00,000 votes. It would be an interesting problem for a political arith metician to w ork out, if thus stated : The Whig party will loose 171,000 votes with in twelve months from General Taylor's election. At a corresponding loss, which is sure to be how many votes will their candidate poll in November, 1852 ? We guess about one million out of three mil lion. " Mtnt, mtne, tckd vphanin." Gen.

The Federal Whigs of the State, knowing the anxietv of the people of tbe Northern Counties on the subiect of their favorite improvement, have baited their trap with a candidate for Canal Commissioner, taken from among the Northern Counties. Let no Oemocrtt be misled by (hit manoeuvre. It is one of those tricks in which Federalism, in the aotence of an honest principle, is to fertile. It israore important to those interested in the North Rranch -to have friends in the legislature than in the Canal Board. Tbe friends of Mr. Gamble', in the Legislature, have been, and will continue to be, if not betrayed and abandoned, the warm and earnest friends of the Canal. Their heln is of the last importance to in future prosperity and tuncew. Do justice to them and thiv uill lia by you. And tliit justice can onlv be dona hv honettly and faithfully supporting the Demo- cratic nominee for Canal Commissioner. Let no Democrat be led ettrty at this time, and the great interests of Pennsylvania tt involved in thu improvement tie safe. Wilkeibarre Far. 0 Andrew Stewart, the Pennsylvania person, ification of Whiggery, has actually come out in favor of the democratic Sub.Treasuiy, which he has hitherto uniformly and strongly opposed. As he is among the strongest Whigs in the coun try, and was an applicant for Secretary of the Treasury, his conversion to the principles of the Indepedent Treasury may be considered a won derful change of opinion. The lVaynesburg, Pa. Messenger is our authority, from which print we quote the following account of Mr. Slew art's speech, delivered in Greene county, in that State. H this is the way the way the prominent Whig! define their position, we 'Democrats will shortly be compelled to get up some new issues, othewise the Whigs will crowd us off our own platiom. The paper referred to above remarks thus; The honorable gentleman rose to his feet, and after much hemming and hawing declared that he did not know what to say he did not know where to begin. After a confusion and floundering that see med perfectly agonizing to himself and hea rers, the speaker made out to declare that he was a "noparhj-man," and that he was in favor of some t( the great measures be longing to both parties. But he took his whig friends all aback by declaring that he was tn favor of the independent 1 reas ury one cf the favorite measures of the democratic party that it was a good meas ure, and the only one that could make the public moneys secure-that the state Banks would not answer the purpose and a na tionnl Bank wag unnecessary and unconsti tutional. Mr. Stewart even declared that he was always in favor of the Indepen dent Treasury, and, as if fearing that his hearers would not credit this part of his declarations, ho attested it with his old ste reotyped affirmation of "So help me God !"

BALL, State Treasurer. -eeo- MusingST-No 7. BY quiz: "What's in a name A rose by any other name wouldtmell aasweet." "I have a passion lor the name ol Mary." "They have called the child ti istiaro." I have often thought some people too ea sily pleased with names, and others too hard to please. Almost every person has some peculiar likeing or dislikcing to some names. First impressions do a great deal If you become acquainted with a person whom you like, you will be very npt to take a fancy to his or her name. Even the greatest of men have their eccentricities. If you were to call a dog Harvey, says Per Johnson, I should love him. I have often wondered what was the origin of this feel ing, when we see it so strong and over powering, and am convinced that it has its origin in the first impression of early youth. There is a practice very much in vogue by a certain class of our people, which is, to say the least of it, nonsensical. I mean the fashion of calling children by the name of some colebrated man. Merely because the man who bore them teas a great man. George Washington. Andrew Jackson, Julius Ceasar, Cemus Tompcy and a few others of the same stamp, have more little, dirty faced name-sakes, than they ever had men in their armies. The men who bore them have rendered them immortal and there is no credit due to the names them selves. If the name is in itself euphon enus and pleases you, adopt it into your family but not because one person who bore it was a nations favorite, for like enough two who bore it were hanged. I like to see a person have two given names but that is a mere matter of taste Two, in all conscience, are enough; and it is imposing upon the other children to use up half the alphabet in naming the first. Besides all this, I really jio hate these lack-a-daisical, long-as-myarm handles to a modest little name of one two or three syl lables. I think that I will give all the children who dare call me Father, a short and neat name. I like the notion of the man whose name was New. lie named his first child Something and the next one Nothing.
