The ''Pennsylvania btalesmm," is tlio

imidgo, Lane, tho Constitution and tho
Union.
Save Us rnoM Abolitionism. Mas
sachusetts, the hot bed of abolitionism, is
fast mingling its "coal black roses" with
pure white lilies. Massachusetts can boast
of its prowess in Abolitionism, in tho way
of marrying white girls with negroes. Tho
Census Marshals report that ievonly two
while females were murried to negroes in
tlx State of Massachusetts last year. God
eavo us from Abolition Republicanism;
when its only end and boast is tho mar
riage of white girls with negroes.

for two reasons: The first that tho
uepuimcan party, wueu u cuuuuc-m,
alwavs breaks down with its own weight,
Tho other is, that such a whipping as tho
Democratic party has just received, brings
. , . , ,
them to their senses, and shows them tho
folly of permitting men, no matter how
high in office to croato partizan divisions.
Thn siim.. of tho Onnosition over tha

Tho Elootion of Tuosday.
Tho election in this State, ou Tuesday
last, resulted disastrously for tho Demo
cratic party Mr. Cuutin, tho Republican
candidato, being elected Governor by a
largo majority. Wo havo also lost the
Legislature and a majority of tho Con
gressmen, and our good old State, for tho
time being, is handed over, in all its do
partmonts, to tho tender mercies of Aboli
tionism. We exceedingly regret that such
is tho case. It is tho first timo in thn
history of this great Commonwealth that
sho has so far forgot her high duty to tho
Union and the Constitutional rights of her
sister States, as to endanger both by her
action. Sho is no longer the conservative
Pennsylvania of tho olden time, but is now
bouud hand and foot to tho car of sec
tionalism, and it will rcquiro a mighty
struggle to release her from her perilous
position. Had Gen. Foster been elected,
tho great battlo of tho Union would havo
been won, and tho contest in November
would havo been an easy ono. As it is
wo shall havo to fight tho samo battlo over
again on tho Oth of November, and under
yet moro numerous disadvantages than we
encountered in tho Gubernatorial election ;
but our friends should not despair, nor
should tho reverses of tho past paralyze
their efforts in tho future. The moro nu
merous lho difficulties, tho greater should
bo tho exertions to overcome them. Tho
darkest hour of tho night is frequently
just beforo tho dawn of day; and it may
bo that tho clouds, which now lower so
portentously over tho country, will soon
break away, and tho sun-light of Democ
racy speedily skpd brilliancy over tho po
itical horizon.
Tho Democracy met with similar rever
scs in 1810 and 1848; but they soon re
covered, and at the next trial of strength
wero stronger than ever. So it will bo
again, whether the Presidential election in
November goes against us or not. Then
let our friends keep their courage up.
Tho country will not, oven if wo lose tho
Presidential clectiou, stand more than one
term of Black Republican misrule. Tho
Democracy will again be in tho ascendant,
and Black Republicanism will bo hurled
from power, never more to riao again.

Christian View of Abolitionism.
Tho Chrislia7i Advocate, in commenting
on tho "conspiracy in Texas," uses tho fol
lowing appropriate language, to which we
wish to draw attention of many people
within reach of our publication.
Southern Slavery, as a rule, is the mild
est and most benevolent system otiaborw
tho world, and the slaves, without abolition
tcmntation, arc the most happy and con
tented laborers. But, granting it tho char
acter attributed to it by tha abolitionists,
it is even then, in comparison with abo
litionism, most saintly and holy. '1 hero
is not an evil to character and home, to
society or country, attributed to slavery,
by an ignorant or lying press, ttiat aboli
tionism docs notproduco a hunredfold. It
is the life of modern politics, tho falsehood
of modern philosophy, the apostacy of mod
ern civilization. If ever men deserved the
doom which Benedict Arnold escaped, V.
II. Seward, Iloiaco Greely, Charles .Sum
ner, Wendell Philips, and their abctitors,
political and clerical, aro tho men and
i natriotio Northern men. And vet, South-
cm men, and patriotic Northern men, too,
who aro determined to resist tho demon of
abolitionism in every form, and to make
no compromise with lho insidious monster,
and who simply contend for the constitution
of their country, and the Union based upon
it, are denounced sometimes by ooulhcrn
' U1CU fir0 eaters, extremists ultras ond
disunionists 1 Shame on the ignoble souls

who thus attempt to weaken tlie publio
' confidence in reference to tha monstrous

iniquity of abolitionism. This indirect
of tho aboUtionistg uas dono raoro
t0 U1boldon them in their oggressions than
' auythingelso. Evpn now, Lincoln's organ
at Chicago, Jno. Wentworth's paper, boldly
I advocates the overthrow of slavery in the
States as tho doetneo of tho republican
, party) and sLamea ,ho rcpuuUcan-Under,
wuo ar0 t00 timid to avow it. It quotes
I Lincoln's languago, embodying tha saino
sentiment. But as far as we can see,
nothing but defeat, and the election cf nn
abolitionist, will ever teach Southern men,
constitutional men generally, the les-
sous of patriotism and political wisdom,
Uu;tC(1)'black rcpublicauism could be casly
, ucfea.CIii xbe people are willing to unite
but the demacoRues and oflico-seekcrs, who
curse the country, vriU notlet them. And
thus wo aro divided into three parties, when

FOSTER DEMONSTRATION.
Ou Saturday tho Oth inst,, tho inhabi

Still-Water, Bloomsburg, Light Streot,
and Sugarloaf township, and a strong del
egation of tho beauties of tho fair sex, as
sembled at tho houso of John J. Stiles,
in Benton, to participate iu tho raising of
a splendid Hickory role ono hundred and
sixteen feet high.
It reminded ono of tho glorious days of
yore, when tho inhabitants assembled to a
man to unanimously elect a Democratic
President.
About 11 o'clock, tho pcoplo began to
assemble, tho Sugarloaf delegation being
tho first upon the ground, the Polo being
then ready. Without exception it wa3 tho
finest Hickory butt wo ever saw, being
about ninety feet high without crook or
limb, to which was affixed a splice making
it in all one hundred and tixtcen feet high.
At 1 o'clock tho Still-Water delegation
arrived, accompanied by a Band ; tho
deputation numbering about two hundred,
having several four-horso teams decorated
with flags and streamers, presented quito
a grand appcaranco.
By the timo five hundred people had as
sembled (2 p. m.) William Cole, Sr., as
sisted by Thomas Pcaler, Sr., proceeded
to conduct tho raising of the Pole,which was
effected by 3 p. an., accompanied by the
unanimous huzzas of tho pcoplo anil stir
ring musio from the Band. A streamer
bearing tho inscription "Bieck, Lne,
Foster and the Union Ticket' was affixed
to tha top of tho Polo, about ten feet bo
low was a banner bearing the motto ''De
mocracy and the Union Ticket," also a
flag was waung about eighty feet above
terre Jirme. Tho banner, streamer and
flag was tho contribution of William Cole,
Sr,, a stanch Democrat of Benton town
ship. Shortly after tho Polo was raised tho
crowd increasing o nearly double tho num
ber, and tho Light Street Siring Band
having arrived and discoursed soma Cna
musio a meeting was organized by the
selection of the following officers:

This I regard as a direct compliment to

Treachery Acknowladgod.
Since the election Forney's Pics; the
leading Doi'glm organ in this State, exults
over the defeat of Fosteii and admits the
agency of the straight-out Doulgas men iu
accomplishing that result. In au articl
deploring the fraud by whioh Mr. Lehman
was cheated out of tho return from tho First
Congressional District, the Press says :
"The Repubhoau patty have just achieve
cd a magnificent triumph, and iu the joy
with which they hail this triumph they
have the sympatlty of thousands of honest
Democrats. '
'This is a distinct admission that "thou
sands "of honeil Democrats," like homey,
who aro so ready to "sympathize'' with
tho Republicans iu their "magnificent tri
umph," were fao very honest and honorable
as to vote for Andrew G. Cuutin uud
strike down Henut D. Foster. Dem
ocrats committed tho fatal uiiitako of sup
posing it possible for these uwi to bo sin
cere in their professions of attachment to
Henry D. Foster, but true to their
disorganizing instincts they united to ao
complish his defeat, and assisted tho Re
publioaus to their "magnificent vic-"tory."
It may bo gratifying to thoso allies of
tho Republicans to know that their services
aro duly appreciated and recognized Thi
North American returns thanks to Mr.
Douglas for his efficient services, and says
"without his assistanco iu Pennsylvania
"we should probably havo fallen sevoial
"thousands behind our present triumph."
A Larue Bear Story. A correspon
dent of the Shamokin, Pa., Register, tells
a story of a large bear ho mot at tho foot
of tho Big Mouutain, It would bo diffi
cult to say which was tho biggest, the
Btory or the bear. The writer says :
" I had only time to turn when I saw a
largo black bear approaching iqs, with
his mouth wido open, di-playing a beauti
ful set of largo, whito teeth, and oyo-balls
glaring with delight in anticipating what a
luscious supper ho would have. I am not
a coward, but I surely thought tho (imp
of my departure was at hand, as I had
no other weapon but a small walking
stick which I drew in a defensive posture,
and gave .1 yell to tho extent of niy lungs,
tho echo of which resounded along tho
barren mountaius for fifteen minutes after.
His bearship camo to a wise conclusion
that a man who could hallta so frightful
might fight heroically, wheolcd about and
trotted off along tho path befors mo."
That a sensible bear should draw such a
otary. uwavuiu. ivuc.. i
