DEMOCRATS t We urgo you, ono

ernatorial election in Pennsylvania, at this
time, involves tho most important results,
not only to tho State, but likewiso to tho
Nation. Upon it maJ depend the ques
tion of tho perpetuity of tbo Union itself.
In the good work of electing Qen. Foster,
Columbia county tan perform an' impor
tant part, and a voto hero counts just as
much as it docs in Berks, or any other
County in tho Commonwealth. Again,
then, wo urgo upon tho activo men of tho
party tho necessity of having every Demo
cratio voter brought to tho polls no mat
ter whether it rains or shines on election
day and that can only be accomplished
by "a faithful performance of tho prelimN
nary7 duties, and making tho necessary
arrangements, in advance of tho day.
Oar Candidates for Assembly.
Messrs. Kline, of Columbia, and Os
TtnnouTj of Wyoming, as wo long since
announced, are the Democratic Candidates
for Assembly in this Legislative District.
They are both gentlemen of character, high
honor and consistent Democrats, Wc arc
free to say, that they will make orcditablc
members, -for no one doubts their election,
and leave a record for their constituents
in Columbia, Wyoming, Montour and Sul

On Tuesday next, tbo Otli of October,
tho freemen of Pennsylvania will havo to
ikciilo at tho ballot-boxoa who shall bo
their Chief j)lagi.tmto for tho ensuing
throo years vijlictlior it liall bo Henry D.
Foster, tho Democratio candidate, or
Andrew Q. CunuN, tho Republican
candidate.
Oil tho ono hand is presented a puro,
honest and ablo statesman, ngainet whoso
character, personal or political, we defy
criticism, and challcngo hit enemies, if bo
has any, to point to a singlo disreputable
act in hisprir&to or publio life. A devo
ted friend of tho interests of his lutivo
State, tho Democracy point with prido and
plcasuro to Qcn. Foster and claim that
ho is worthy to receive tho suffrages of all
his fellow-citizens.
On tho other sido is Akdrsw G. Cun
tin, than whom a raoro unprincipled or
unscrupulous politician doos not exist in
tho Stato. Ho was a Whig, thon a bitter
and malignant Know Nothing, and now
ho professes to bo a reuglar " higher law"
Black Repubhoan. Dunne tho Know
Nothing administration of Governor Tol
lock, he was Bcorotary of tho Common
wealth, and was generally considered to
be tho '' power behind the throno, greater
than tho throno itself," and is justly char-
geablo with all the odious and obnoxious
measures of that term of misrulo. In
point of ability and statesmanship ho 13
below modioority, and as to his honesty
the less that is said about it the better for
himself.
Such, fellow citizens of Columbia coun
ty, are tho men between whom you are to
make a selection on Tuesday next. Look
at them ; weigh well their rospectivo char
acters aod qualifications for tho Gubcrna-

which of thorn is most worthy of your

putrid stuff, as tho Xfe-eoming Gazette,
for tho purpose of having a Democratio
paper in Williamsport, nnd we are happy
to learn, that they have now issued a sound

will shortly supplant tho "old machine of
corruption."
Packer's other pot cub at Harrisburg,
"Ileneline, tho incbriato," of tho "Stata
Sentinel,'' has given publicity to the abovo
mendaoious faslehood, for which, however,
ho ought to be excused, as he is a creaturo
without brains and totally irresponsible.
Dn. John insinuated a coarse slander,

It U a most gratifying thing, to find all

regularity of nomination, or for any other
raason ; returning o early and promptly
to tho old Democratio party ; and entering
with such spirit into tho conduot of tho

it impossiblo to reconcile Mr. Douglas' pre
tended devotion to tho principlo of non
intervention, with his officious and oflensiro
interference with the manner of uniting tho
party which tho Democrats of Pennsylva
nia havo adopted : And not only that,
but Mr. Douglas absolutely forbids any
union among tho Democrats of our grand
old Commonwealth.
Both Douglas and Johnson havo travel
ed Pennsylvania, denouncing union, dis
turbing tho harmony, and in every way
fostering discord and disunion in our ranks;
whioh if continued must inevitably rssult

of tho Republicans. Is not such conduct
most insolent and insulting ? Aro we hero

Morrill Tariff Hill.
The Now Tork Evenhig Post, edited
by Wm. C. Bryant, Frio Trader, who is
at tho head of tho Rodubliean ticket in
York Stato j disfects after tho following
fashion tho provisions of tho bill which the
Republicans abuso the Senato for not pass
ing. Wc refer to it for two reasons First to
show that the Republicans aro not what
they havo claimed to bo; and second to
say that if Pennsylvania desires a tariff,
they must look to tho Democrats for it.
Tho Democrats aro supporting a tariff man
for Governor, tho Republicans aro oppos
ing him. 'I he Democrats support Ran
dall, a tariff man for Congress, the Re
publicans opposo him. Tho Democrats
arein favor of a proper and judicious tariff
ono that will uso rich and poor alike

was an outrage: The Post says,
"Thcro is sugar, for instanoe, a com
modity of universal use, a necessity of
life, to all classes, which enters in a thou
sand ways into articles intended for human
food, which U now sufficiently taxod, but
which by this scheme is to bo taxed still
more. It enacts a duty of ono cent per
pound on brown sugars imported, and on
syrups ; on tho better clais of raw sugar
ono and a half cents ; on refined sugars
two and a half cents; and on colored sui
gar and candy five cants. How in tho
world, under these provisions, aro tho
poorer classes ever to get any sugar except
tho very coarsest kinds. Two and a. half
cents a pound moro on refined sugars would
place them wholly beyond tho reach of any
but rich people. Others will bo compelled
to sweeten their tea and coffee, to mix their
cakes, to prcscrvo theu fruils, with tho
dirty looking browns, or cUo to forego the
uso of theso products. But for what end ?
Merely to help along a few Louisiana
sugar growers, who aro staggering under
tho burdens of a trado that can only bo
upheld by means of government boun
ties.
On chains, on saws, cross-cut or for mills,
on screws and other articles, the duty is
raised from twenty-four to fifty per cent.
Tho consumption of theso commodities is
immense ; they aro used bv millions, and
the duty imposed on them will cut off their
importation and make them exorbitantly
dear. Then who is to be benofited by this
taxation I Not tho treasury, which now
derives a largo rovenuo from the importa
tion of these articles, and will derivo it no
longer, but a few dozen men in Providence
and elsewhere, for whose sake millions of
American citizens aro to be heavily taxed."
Tho "Wido Awakes."
As theso semi-military organizations of
tho Black Republicans aro exciting no lit
tlo attention throughout tho country at tho
present timo, and us many persons seem
to bo anxious to know something about
their origin and objeots, wo clip the follow
ing notice from one of our exchanges ;
The Hartford Times says that' " tho
name Wide. Awake was. tho designation
by which John Brown's company was
known in Kansas, and was adopted in
compliment to that ' martyred herb.' "
Mr. Seward said, also, in one of his lato
speeches, that the. " Wide Awake" organ
ization was relied on to assist at the
inauguration of Lincoln a f&ct which has
becubeforo hinted. The "Wide Awakes"

Our Congressman. 1
In another part of our' paper will he
found tho proceedings of tho Dcmooratio
Congressional Confercnca for tha 13th
Congressional District, composed of iho
counties of Luzcrno,-Columbia, Montour
ond Wyoming. It will be soon that David
R. Randall, Esq., of Iuzcrne, was selec
ted as tho standard' bearer, in the coming
contest. Somo forty-three ballots were
had boforo a nomination was effected, there
being n candidnto , presented from each
county, except Mbtrtou'r ho voting with
Wyoming, for Piatt.
Wa confess our regret that the claims ot
Wyoming county should havo ogam been
passed over ; but wo cannot see how it
ooutd he prevented.
After sorao forty ballots, it being evi
dent that Columbia and Lu.crno would not
voto for any ono out of thoso counties, the
namo of David R. Randall, Esq., was
presented by ono of tho Montour Confer
ees, which suon put an end to tho contest,
by tho Conferees from Montour and Wyo
ming and ono from Luzerne voting for him;
thus giving him tho nomination, which was
mado unanimous by tho Conference.
Wo havo thoroughly examined tho courso
of our Conferees, nnd entirely 'approve of
it. They did everything honorablo men
could do, and all that could have been
done, to secure the nomination of our can
didate ; and that they failed to do so, was
owing, as wo believe, to a bargain between
Luzcrno and Columbia, to tho effect that
nq man out of thoso counties should be
nominated.
Montour, too, this timo, treated us well,
and voted steadily for our candidate. In
tho name of tho Dcraocrrcy of Wyoming,
wo thank them, hoping that they will nor?
cr havo reason to regret their courso.
David R. Randall, tho gentleman
who has rcccivod tho nomination, is a law
yer by profession, residing at Providence,
near Scranton, Luzerno couuty. We are
unacquainted with him, except by reputa
tion ; but aro informed by"thoso who aro
intimately acquainted' with the man and
his standing in community, that a bettor
or stronger nomination could not havo
been made. Ho lives, in that portion of
Luzcrno whero thero is a largo floating
population, whoso votes elected Geo. W.
Scranton, two years ago. That they
were, as well as many others, doceivcd
into voting'for Mr. Sfiranton, by his pro
fessions of conservatism, and his claiming
to bo as good a Democrat ns any of them,
thero is no doubt. His course in Con
gress has completely convinced Democrats
of their folly in voting for him, upon any
such grouuds, and that' his professions in
that respect, as ,woU as in many other re
spect's, was made to deceivo Democrats
into his support. ,
Mr. Randali, Is well 'known to the
people of Luzcrue as n true Democrat a
man of strict integrity and superior ability.
With such a candidate opposed by a man
who has cheated and deceived the peoplo,
we enter the conteft",coiifidcnt of an easy
victory." In thii "Democratic District,
tliero is no hope for a Rlack Republican,
with .such a record ns that of Geo. W.
Scranton in tho last .Congress.
Wo but speak tho sentiments of tho Do
mocraoy of Wyoming, when wc say.they
will give to Mr. Randall their cojdial
and hearty support. True, tho Democra
cy of this couuty would havo been moro
gratified had Mr. Piatt received tho nomi
nation ; but aB a majority of tho Confer
ees wero not in.favor of him, wo cheerful
ly yield, for it is only that willing and
hearty compliance with tho will of the
majority that makes harmony in our ranks,
gives success to our cherished princip'es,
and makes safe and, permanent all our
civil institutions. Sortli Branch Demo

I will advert to a question iu which tho

Gentlemen, I had the honor of being in
Congress in 1844. We then had a tariff
satisfactory to tho manufao'uring interests

iye tariff ; it was just the orpf tariff de
manded by the indussrial interests of Penn

Wiltuot, who,- a fow yoars sinco, was tho
Republican candidate for Governor of,
Pennsylvania. Mr. Wilmot was tho only
member of Congress from Pennsylvania
that voted against tlio protective ponoy.
Yet that gentleman, when running for
Governor of Pennsylvania; was voted for
by Col, McCluro and Col. Curtin, and all
theso zealous 'advocates of protection I
Laughter and applhusc. They voted for
a trco trade Governor, and now they ask
you to voto against me because, as, they
allcgo, I am for frco trado 1
Lot ino stato another fact on this sub
ject. At tho poriod I mention (iti44)thnt
bill for the repeal of tho tariff of IS42 did
not pass. In 184(1, tho proposition was
renewed, and then it was that tbo law was
passed striking down almost entirely tho
protcctivo policy, because it substituted ad
valorem duties tor spcciuo duties. iet
mo tell you that the great question in re
gard to this matter of iho tariff, is between
spcciuo duties and nit aalorcm duties
Tho moment you abandon tho princi
plo of specific duties, there is no pro
tection. In 1840, when tho bill camo up
repealing tho tariff of 1642, aud adopting
a universal aavalorem principle, Jlr. Ham
lin and Mr. Wilmot wero still members of
Congress. That bill was passed ; nnd both
those gentlemen voted for it, while I voted
against it 1 Laughter end applause.
let, 1 wonder whether Lot. iucUure and
his friends will not support Mr. Hamlin
for Vico President of tbo United States
I wonder, also, whother they will not vote
for,Mr. Lincoln, whose opinion on tuts ques
tion neither they nor anybody elso know
any thing about.
There is no record of his publio life that
affords any kuowlcdgo of nn viows upon
this question. Mr. Lincoln is held ap as
tho triend of the protective policy, yet you
cannot find a vote ho over gave, or a speech
ho ever made, wherein he lavorcd tha doc-
trino of protection at all. lily record on
this subject is that which i made years
ago, when I no more dreamed of being
candidate for Governor than I dreamed of
bcinc mado a cardinal. Ltughtsr.l
You cannot find a word or a vote of
mine, during tho whole period of my ser
vice in Uongress.tn which i did not. advo
cate, with allitho zeal nnd ability I poss
essed, the doctrine of protection to Ameri
can industry against foreign competition
Applause. Yet Mr, Hnmliu is r better
taritt man than l ami I A voice, "over
tho left."
Let ui exainino tho position of Mr, Ham
lin a littlo further. In 1855, a proposition
was made-in the Senate of the United
States to remit for three years tho pay
mcnt of Duties upon railroad iron iu bond
at the custom house. Our Senators, IV cssrs
Biglcr and'lirodhcad, fought that bill day
by day and inch by inch. ilr. Jirodnead
boldly and fearlessly charged upon South
em men and Now England manufacturers
a combination to strike down tho iron in
tcrests of Pennsylvania. Mr. Hamlin,
then a United States Senator, aroio and
inquired of Mr. Broadhcad what he mcatit
by that declaration, " for," said ho, " I
am a groat deal of a free-trade man my
self, and I intend to voto for this bill.''
And he did voto for it !
Let me give you another instanco illus
trating tho iusiuccrity of that party on
this question of tho tariff. Under the
tariff of 1840, although our manufacturers
langnMicd, still they lived. Tho laborers
received employment though their wages
wero not as remunerative as they ought
to have been, becauso tho prohts ot tho
manufacturers wero greatly diminished.
But in 1857 a bill was passed which still
further reducod the tariff of 184.fi How
was that bill pas?od I Mr. Banks, of
Massachusetts, was then Speakor of the
House, a Rcpub'ican of tho vory blackest
dye. Laughter and applausu On tho
organization of the Houso, ho appointed a
Republican Committee of Ways and
Means. That conunittoo reported tho
till ot 18J7 a bill mora destructive to
our industrial interests than any that ever
passed the Congress of the United States a
bill that affords no protection at all to the
manufacturing interests of Pennsylvania.
now was that but passed! There were
htty-bix licpubucan votes cast m its lavor,
and it passed tho House ol licprescnta
tives. Going to the Senate, it was amen
tied and sent back to tho House. Tho
amendments wero not concurred in, and
tho bill was sent to a committee of con
ference, whom Mr, Speakor Banks ap
pointed on the part of the Houso. Did he
appoint a singlo man who was in favor of
tne protective policy i ino, not one. The
members of that committee were Lewis D.
Campbell of Ohio, Mr. De Witt of Mas
sachusetts, and Mr. Letcher of Virginia
-II T1. ..1.I!-- 1 .1 , .
an ui incut ivepuDiicans, anu luc wnoio

of that bill. Into such hands it was sent.
That committee, jointly with the Senato
committee, reported that bill, and it was
passed. It is now the law of the land,
and wbilo it remains tho law, let mo say,
your manufacturing interests never will
revive. They cannot revive. Moro than
that, William II. Seward, tho captain of
the Republican party, was a member of
that committee of conference, and signed
tno report.
Now, gentlemen, I wish you to under
stand my views upon tho subject. I said
before that there can bo no tariff benefi
cial to our industrial interests, which docs
not proceed upon the principle of specific
duties. The meaning of that is this : If a
ton of foreign iron is imported, it pays us
so many dollars anu so many cents, accor
ding to tho specifio principle, but accord
ing tho ad valorem principle, it pays so
much per cent upon tho value of the article
abroad, according to tho foreign invoice.
Under this specifio principle tho American
manufacturer has exactly what'be wants
steadiness in the market, steadiness in the
duty which he does not havo under tha
ad valorem principle. You will observe
that tho act of 1857 proceeds entirely up
on the ad valorem principle. The duty
is levied upon ihe prico of tbo foreign ar
ticle abroad. When that price is hinh. the
duty rises, just at tho moment when the
iimurieuu mauuiaciurer uoes not need the
increased duty, but when tho mice of tho
foreign article fall, in the foreign market
ino amy goes aown, just at tbo timo when
tho American manufacturer needs a higher
duty on the imported article ; then, I say
that there is no protection without specific
duties.
