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."

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

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. What
a cipiul troupe of circus riders these Whig Edi
tors would make. General Taylor and mysllf,

Our majestic Union the sweet content ibat bles

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

The Federal Whio TRAr. 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

Democrat be led ettrty at this time, and the
great interests of Pennsylvania tt involved in

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 !"

"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.
