We notice in a lalo Danville Democrat Fed. a remark ioinelhing like the follow ing, we quote from memory having mis laid the paper; that the reduced majority of Catnble, the Democratic candidate, is pretty well for a county that gave Polk I oa in 18 14. An insinuation is here thrown out, that the whig party are grow ing stronger in Columbia County and the Editor, no doubt, cliuckled complacently at the idea of whigsupretnaey in the Star of the North." Let us examine these preten tions and see how near he is to realizing li is Utopian dream. Tuking the vote of the last election, which every candid man will acknowledge to be rather against us, he will see that there were 330 more Democrats remained at home this time, than whigs. These added to Gamble's majority would increase it to 1133. Now we presume it will not be denied nor even caviled at, that in this county, nt least 500 or COO dem ocrats voted for Taylor as from 1814 the whig vote increased nearly 700 while the Democratic vote did not gain quite 200. But suppose that only 2(10 or 300 Dem ocrats voted for Taylor in 1818 and remain ed at home, with the 330 then, and this number, 200, must surely be granted our majority would reach its usual 1500 and 1000- We think Charley's rejoicing rather pre mature, and may possibly again advert to this subject.

Gamble. Fuller. Carbnndale(Luz.co.)321 I Carhondale !)7 Jersey shore (Ly.co.)2 II Jerseyshore & 1W The Tariff Question Settled. The result of tho election in Pennsylva nia has settled the question of the Tariff, which was made by the Whigs the leading issue in the last campaign. The Demo crats were desirous of keeping that ques tion out of the canvass but our opponents would not permit it, and insisted that the destru clion or permanency of the act of 1840 depended on the election of Henry M. Fuller or Joiiv A. Gamble. The Whigs made this the great question of the campaign and as Mr. Gamble is elected by an overwhelming majority, of course the people have expressed their satisfaction with the tariff as il is, and do not desire its destruction, or even any essential modi fication of its details. Is our Federal neighbor Cook, ot the Danville Democrat, satisfied with the decision of tho sover eigns T Another Democratic Victory. At the Municipal election held in the ci ty of Baltimore, on Wednesday last, the Democrats elected EIGHTEEN of the twenty Councilmen ! The Argui says "We are inclined to boast loudly of our blessed old Democratic city, but we refrain out of sheer pity tu the Whigs." How considerate ! 31 oil at Philadelphia. On the 9th instant there was a very ser ious disturbance and riot at Philadelhhia, in the course of which there were three per sons killed, and ten or twelve wounded. Il w&s the whites against the blacks. The keeper of a black tavern, the California House, was charged with having a white woman for a wife, or with living with her as though she was his wife ; and to put an end to or to punish this indeceny, or this profligacy ,or w hatever it was, the mob took the matter in hand, and proceeded, as us ual, o la Lynch. The tavern was burned, and other excesses committed besides the homicide, which, i:i such cases, is murder ; but some how or other, the offenders almost always escape.as they will on this occasion, we suppose. ViT Many are curious to know why it is that Gen. Taylor set out on his northern tour, and proceeded as far as Baltimore, where he spent some days, and then return ed to Washington. Some surmise that it was the result of the Pennsylvania elections which stopped him at that point, and in duced him to rr turn, lest he might produce a similar result in New York. Be this as it may, we have no doubt that the united democracy of New York will have a com plete triumph next monlh.over tbeshalier and disorganized forces of whiggery in that state.

Tenants. Wt have headed this article Tenants, but wo desire more particularly, to speak lo the Landlords in their favour, than to give lo ihem a homily , although, before we are done, we desire also to speak a word to themselves. But first to the Land lords. Some weeks ago we wrote to you concerning the houses you built for those who are your Tenants, and asked, that the fashion of putting up for them sinall,uncom fortable and inconvenient houses, should be entirely exploded. We come now to ask you that you give to those poor men who till your broad and rich acres, better chances to make a living for themselves and those dependant upon litem than as a general thing you now do. You have been fortunate. God has bless ed your exertions. You have accumula ted a goodly proportion of this worlds goods. Your neighbor has probably been unlucky. lie has had a large family to support, and thus, he, who once bid fair to stand in the place you occupy, is now your tenant. Think how you, in such a situa tion, should wish lobe used, and go and do likewise. And vou, Tenants, we have also i word for you. It has been our fortune to see a good many occupying your position. We pretend to know something about it. And we know, that while agreat numberof them do their duty and their whole duty to their Landlords, others are sadly negligent and remiss. To all you, the golden rule, do as you would be done by, will also most forcibly apply. While we are nut agrarian, we ask that the poor shall receive what is due lo all men Yet at the same time, let it be the highest aim of those under authority to perform all their duty citizens generally should have a more ample and correct no tion of those rights, which, in society, are due from man to man and should be more punctual in paying them. Let all do their duty lo each other. ESctiheu W. Weaver. We truly h ive so little time and room to attend our Reuben, tlien'gwy editor of the Slar, lliat had we not pinniped him Miine.we would let him slide for the present. A liille excoiialion, ap plied lo a small subject may not be amiss. So here's to his "political distinction." Reuben lias at length attempted to evade the truth of 8;mu of ihe iniquities of which he has been iruilty, and a-i a salvo for his fallen tot tunes, feebly denies a part oflhe allegalionsin the count. First llut he never saw or heard of the notice of the Standing Committee, until it was announced. Per contra Ihe original MS., in our charge, and eeu by many, is believed to be in lit uben's hand wilting,. Ho silently swallows the charge of over-ruling Mr. Gilmore, to aspire to Ihe Seni or F.ilitoi.ihip. lint wh;d wont pompoidty dictate to il'edi.v who-ie polar-star u Political Distinc tion Willi Reuben, it will lead him into every imaginable error, even lying and deception tint evcepteil. This is filly sliown in his last issue when h! denies having pushed hard to become ..n As-eciated editor in Ihe Democrat. And lo i ap the climav of scoiinderli-m, he says it is true he "spoke to the owners of the ollice to purchase the concern." This is another ol his infamous in sinuations to inj ure " covertly. Knave as Ken ben i", he well knows we ore Ihe sole Proprietor of the Columbia Democrat. Hence, we need on ly a Id, did we luvo a liar, Reuben would please us too well. Mil.

What is the mailer now t What has worked out this HUilden leveluiion among the steady people of Pennsylvania? There is alwavs iin eiy solu tion for a revolution. 1 The reu-ont are oliviom. The Whigs were dis affected, ami their opponent united. On of the causes ol' this (lis illeciioii w as bom lliuir coalition with the abolitionists those red republicans, or red socialists, of the United Slates who have bung like an incubus upon the A big party fui years. Another cause was tin split wiih the Natives, growing out of the division ol the spoils. Anoth er, the revolt in Philadelphia, against the misrule and outrageous Con uptions ol iht c.ty government compared with which, the mis. table gi eminent of Nw York is a model of honesty tii d wisdom. Another provocation was in thewoik of pro-crip-tino ofCollatner, F.wing and company. The sweeping exercise ol thi abominable sslcn. of dividing out ihe spoils among the b -egai ly hacks of parly, for party rvices. Ion had its effect. lint all these in e mere trifles ; they do not ac count fir tha di.s liter. General TajliT was well recei ved in Pcun-.ylvania.

Whether the necessary change of opin ions, feelings and necessities has taken place in the gentlemen, to make our mod ern lailies fit for wives or not, I cannot conjecture; but it is most singular, if they do not like well cooked victuals and clean, houses.
