Editorial Circular.
To the Public :
We enter to-day upon the
publication of the Pourlemlh Volume of
the " Columbia Democrat," Bincc we
assumed its Editorial conduct, and the
Twenty Fourth Vcur of its existence in
Bloomsburg. Profoundly grateful for the
liberal patronage this journal has ever en
joyed, and tho high favor it has rccci?cd
at tho hands of tho democratic party of
Columbia county, and the public generally,
and in order to merit a continuance of con
fidencs and favor, we inaugurate its Four
tfenth Annivertury, m a splendid dre33 of
new tyie. It i3 now tho -most interesting,
handsomest and beat nowspapor in Nortb
cm Pennsylvania.
Kind friends have nobly sustained this
establishment during tho thirteen years we
have been laboring in Bloomsburg. With
our increased facilities for futuro usefulness,
we may safely promise them important im
provements, and greater efficiency in com-,
ing time. This consummation, however, is
largely dependent upon their partiality and
co-operation.
Our present improvements have been
'efibctedat an expense of some three hun
dred dollars, and wo tru;t our friends will
cvinco thsir appreciation of tii cLtirprizc
bv a commsiijur '.tj in. rcaso of patronage.
Wa ha.o entered upon tho active duties of
an important political campuign, with bright
skies and burnished armor, in which the
dearest intorctts of oar common country
arc imperiled, and if life and' health per
mit, we shall vxeit our poor efforts to the
bjst ofourhuiubic abilities, to prosecute the
conflict with energy and determination

pens to bo entirely devoid of truth. Gen.
Foster, is a sound National Democrat,
but never was a bit of a "Leeomptonite."
Friend Painter, of the Muncy Lumi-Ma-j,says,
"Mr. Foster was the democrat
ic candidate for Canal Commissioner, in
1840, and was defeated by Gen. Power."
Another beautiful mistako, Mr. Painter.
Gen. Hf.nry D. Foster, never was a can
didate for Canal Commissioner. It was
the Hon. !!'. li. Foster, Jr., whoso la
mented death wo to-day announce.

their frailties and foibles, suffice for the

Tho first duty of tho Cen.-us Officj, af

in making the Congressional apportion

The democratic candidate for Governor,
is no now man. For long years, in the
fierce contests of the Democracy, Gen.
Foster, has been among tho foremost
leaders of its gallant hosts ; and as an ac
knowledgement of his past services, this
honor has been thrust upon him. AVo need
only refer to the proceedings in another
part of our paper to convince tho reader,
that this office sought the man sought him
out from among a host of good men and
true, and forced upon him tho baton of
command.
Wo need only refer to the eulogies passed
upon him by his competitors for nomina
tiou,-to satisfy you all of his eminent fitness
for tho offico of Governor, to which the
Democrats intend to clict him. No nomi
nation could have been made more proper
or more popular. His name has a cohesive

of Washiugtoini'ilo, has preached almost
every evening to attentivo audiences, with
his wonted zeal aud persuasive Christian
devotion. D'jep interest lias pervaded his
hearers, and many, it is believed, having
heard the Word of Life, have been "gath

Jta? We have printed moro hand-bills,
during the past week, in the office of the
Columbia Democrat, than havo been
executed in all tho other offices of this coun

of partiality, on the part of our friends and

Electors for tho next Presidential canvass.
In carrying out these objects, I most ear
nestly trust that such prudent, moderate,
and conciliatory counsels may prevail as
will permit us all to tcel, when the hour
of separation shall have come, that it was
indeed a good thing lor us to have met
together here. Aevor bclore were the eyes
ot tho people fastened with so much anx
ious interest upon tho deliberations of any
lolitical body. Ail men UcL that the late
of the Democratic party is iu our hands.
It is lor in to mould its dc.-tiny, tor weal
or woe, for many years to come. II such
bu the case, gentlemen, Wo cannot esti
mate too highly tho importance of united
and harmoiiioin action in all our counsels.
Let us, then, iu Hie beginning of our labor,
invoke the constant presence of that genial
spirit of concession, who,o generous teach
iiigs will tend to make us a unit here, and
whose shadow will encouTajniigly follow
,is iu the struggle that is to come. Let all
personal prctereuces be forgotten. Let
all selfish feelings vield to the common
good. Lit the dead pist bury its dead.
Let no 011.1 bo ignored or overlooked on
