Tho Democratic Convention of Monday
last, without intonding disparagement to
former similar Conventions, was undoubt
cdly composed of the soundest and best
Democrats that ever assembled in Blooms
burg, and none ever equalled it in unanim
ity of sentiment and harmony of action.
It unanimously nominated Judge Rupert,
for Congress, and this was a high and a jutt
compliment to a sound democrat and worthy
oitixen. The Conferees of Columbia, did
their best to secure his nomination, but
having failed to do so, with their defeated
candidate, yield their personal preference
for the preservation of tho Union.
tSS Tate, of tho Democrat, is wcloomo
to all the political capital he can make out
of extracts ho fills his paper with respect
ing' the army frauds,
Columbia co. Republican.
Dr. John, has given, in tho above brief
extract, another beautiful specimen of Re
publican consistency. Two weeks ago, ho
publicly endorsed the Philadelphia (Rep.)
Inquirer, as "the best of tho City Dailies,"
and wc good naturedly last week, took
his word for it, (supposing for once that ho
meant what he sail,) and copied several
columns from "the best (Rep.) paper," not
a paragraph of which he daro deny, and
for this and this alone Mr. Pilgarlie flics in
a rage and calls us all sorts of ugly names
Ob! cracky!
Tall Grabs. We culled from our lot,
on tho 3d of June, instant, several speci
men of Orchard Grass, which measured

TnE Democracy of Columbia, wo fear
lessly aver, owe Dr. John ono obligation
and wo cheerfully make tho acknowledg
ment in their behalf. It was for printing
tho Hesolutions of our County Convention
in his last "smut-machine." For this
streak "of LianT, through a dark channel
we have reason
to thank God and take
courage
Mb. Robert M. Frick, Senior Editor
of tho Miltonian, two weeks sinco, in re
sponse to a brief noto in this Journal, com
plimentary of Ex-PresidcntBuchanan, had
tho audacity to say, ''that His name is
laid in utmost universal execration, and
tiefuture historian trill point him out as
a mtlancliolly cxtmple of crime in high
places." Wo addressed Mr. Frick, a re
spectful note, requesting him to do Mr.
Buchanan the poor justice of inserting in
tho Milicnian, a most triumphant vindica
tion of Mr. B's. character from tho "Na
tional (Republican) Intelligencer," offer
ing to pay him for its publication, but for
reasons to us unknown, wheather of cow-
ardico or dishonesty, ho has refused to
even partially redress ihtgrosshj outrageous
and malignant slander nbovo quoted.
This wc suppose is a ''melancholly exam
ple" of Black Republican honesty, and
wc have no hesitation in pronouncing such
a fellow, neither a gentleman, or a good
Citizen.
A Short "War.
Everybody is in favor of ft short war,
The rebellion must bo put down as coon as
possible. Tho more impatient aro disposed
to murmur at tho apparent dilatorincss of
the Administration.- Why aro not the
Federal forces pushed at onco into Virgin
ia! Who has thoro not been a decisive
battle cro this t Wo must make quiok,
short work of this rebellion, Such, says
tho Harrisburg Patriot and Union, aro
tho impatient muttcrings wo hear from tho
North. So inadequate) was tho notion of
the nature and magnitude of this conflict
that the prevailing idea at its commence
inent was that the hastily improvised army
of 75,000 volunteers had nothing moro
serious beforo thorn than to march from
Washington to Montgomery, and routo the
rebel armies whenever and wherever they

tho authority of tho Government would be
restored in tho Southern States in tho
space of thrco months at furthest. But the
ehrushing of rebellion is a serious business,
not to bo undertaken with nn army de
ficient in military appointments and mill
tary discipline. The great captain of our
tho Northern Government haa' nil tho
effect of the first blow." Tho steady,
dctermined preparation of tho North has
had a wonderful effect upon the South. It
has dampened their enthusiasm, destroyed
their confidence, and taken all tho brag
and bluster nut of their innrlnra. The mnr.it

eminent is already half won. Let thoso
who aro disposed to grumblo becauso a
battle has not been fought consider that a
great battlo has been fought, and won too.
Congressional Democratic Con
ference. Wo aro unable to give more than a sy
nopsis, tbia week, of tho proceedings of
tho Democratic Confcrcuco, which was
held last Tuesday in Wilkosbarre, owing
to tho fact that tho Secretaries have not
furnished us with a copy of them. The
following named gentlemen represented
the District by counties, viz :
Columbia
J acoby.
-Levi L. Tate, William II.

as Secretaries.
Mr. Search nominated Hon. Hendrick

Mr. Tate nominated Hon. Leonard B.
Rupert.
Messrs. Search, Baldy, nollcnback and
Davidson, voted,four times for Col. Wright,
Messrs. Tata, Dewitt, Jacoby and Piatt
voted four times for Judge Rupert.
Thus far, tho candidates stood four and
four, tho Convention being equally divided
On the fifth ballot, Mr. Piatt cast his vote
for Col. Wright, and ho was nominated.
Proceedings next week.
The Columbia County Demoera tie Con.
vention adopted a scries of resolutions not
only ultra partizan in their eharactcr but
stupidly rcdiculous in sentiinsnt and verbi
age. They aro really too absurd for seri
ous notice. Wo marvel that men making
pretensions to honesty and common senso
should give credence to such rigraarolo of
worse tuan nonsense
Columbia co. Republican.
"Stupidly ridiculous" or otherwise, dear
Doctor, they certainly had tho happy eff
ect of knocking the gass clear out of repub
lican abolitionists.
Dr. John affects to sneer at the resolu
tion of our late Dcmocratio Convention, in
relation to tho death of Judge Douglas,
and adds, will tho friends of Douglas swal
low the bait. Certainly Doctor. And
none but hyena politicians, Hko yourself,
would attempt to malign tho memory of
such a Statesman.
At the risk of being called a "Traitor"
by would bo-conservators of patriotism, wo
renture to print articles exposing tho gross
corruptions that are now being practiced
upon tho country, taking care to select
them from tho highest Republican author
ities. But hero in Bloomsburg it is called
"treason" to exposo such corruption. Well
let it so be recorded. Which is most guil
ty, ho who takes our forts, and meets our
volunteers in battle, or he who follows our
army to rob the poor soldier of his food
and clothing, as tho pine sole contractors,
xo., do!
More Abrests. -Ex-Governor Pratt,
of Maryland, was artetcd at Annapolis,
on triday evening last, by order of tho
Government, and taken to tho Washington
Wavy xartl. It is also rumored that Ex
i Governor Lowo has likewise been arrested.
Incompotont Ofllcors.
Tho Philadelphia Inq'iirer fitly charac
terizes such appointments as thoso of B
Rush Fctnken, John P. Sanderion, Alex
ander Cummings to important positions in
tho regular army as appointments not fit
to bo mado." They have truly shockod
tho publio mind of Pennsylvania. Old
and experienced officers in the army are
cntiroly overlooked to make place for thoso
men who arc held in deserved contempt
wherever they aro known, and havo never
taken tho first lessons in military experi
ence. A dispatch from Washington in tho
Inquirer states that a publio meeting is to
bo held by the Pcnnsylvanians in that city
to protest against these appoiptmcnts.
Another dispatch in the samo paper reads
thus:
A number of tho prominent Rcpubli-
1 1 r . il. VT...I. ,.!11
n-auuio uuui iuu xiunu, i-spcvtuiij
those who were active in 1850 in political
affairs, aro agitating the propriety of unl-
tine in a joint protest to tho President
against allowing John P. Sanderson, As
sistant Secretary of War, to tako command
of any troops on the field of battle. They
very foolishly and wickedly say that he
was identified with movements called, at
the time, side door evolutions, whioh tended
greatly to tho defeat of their candidate for
the Presidency, and thoy fear that a rep
titiou of such tactics for tho benefit of the
Secessionists would weaken public confi
dence in his integrity."
Choico Language
The following choico morsel wo clip
from the Pine and Palm, a newspaper
published at Boston and New York by a
pack of whito and black Abolitionists:
"If freedom can only prevail through
the agency of venganco, so be it; if the
Temple of Liberty can only stand securely
on tho corpses of slaveholders so be it ;
rather let the whito race bo swept from
the face of the earth, than endure the
perpetuity of negro bondag. We would
hesitate at no concicvable atrocity ; we
would snare neither parlor nor cradle,
neither age nor sex did wo believe that
they must perish in order that Negro sla
very might perish with them.'i-
I" There, if that is not equal to tho
language in use among tho most rabid So
ccssionists wc aro not judges of the matter.
Wo are afraid that our dark colored friends
and their white allies, aro taking advan
tage of the times and sprouting a little too
fast, and may bo nipped by an untimely
frost. It is worlh their whilo to consider
over the matter at all events. Tho Dem
ocracy will bo about when they commence
their hellish work.
8 Those two warriors, Grccly and
Bennett, have' fallen out. Here is a speci
men of tho Herald's talk about the old
Whito Coat:
But when justico gets her du when
the chief offenders in tho work of bringing
upon the country this civil war shall bo
punished such Abolition and disunion ag
itators of tho last twenty years ns Grccly,
Garrison and Giddings will bo among the
list of traitors hung up liko herrings to dry
in the sun Grccly, particularly, has been
a great sinner, and withal a very dirty
ono. Let him bo washed, or let him retire
8Sf The Democratic party, liko tho true
mothers, when Solomon, the King of Isra
el, ordered the living child to be divided
between the two women who claimed it,
preferred to give up tho matter in contro
versy, than see it destroyed by tho sword.
Thoy urged conciliation, and had they
possessed tho power, would havo granted
compromise which must have reconciled
all sections of the country. But they aro,
on tho priucipels they have always avowed,
obedient to tho law. They support and
maintain the Government, and they will
earnestly and honestly continue to do so,
until new elections shall give opportunity
for change Tho will of majority is the
law of the Republic, to deny obedience to
it, is to deny tho fundamental principle of
tho Dcmocratio party. Berwick Gazette.

upon the Colonel and endeavored to defeat
him. Mr. Jacoby, editor of tho Star of

First. To commission no ono of doubt

Second. To appoint no one to a Lieu

Major, Lieutenant Colonel, or Colon cl,un
less a graduate of the United States Mili

Messrs. Editors : Wo desire to acknowl
edge, through the columns of your vnlua
bio paper, the eontinuanco of tho good will
and liberality of tho ladies ot ilarnsburg
Yesterday whilo tho rain camo down in
torrents, and closo confinement to our
quarters drovo our thoughts back to tho
comforts of homo, tho firesides ol our
fathers, and pictured to our imaginations
the contrast between Men and w,wo were
aroused from our meditation by thu arri
val of a delegation of ladies from North
street, Harrisburg, headed by U.J. Jones,
with a wagon load of cakes, pies, garden
vegetables, butter, cheese, pickcls ond pre
pared fruit, none of which aro included in
tho army rations. They were presented
to tho company, on behalf of the ladies, by
U. J. Jones, Eiq:, whom wo are glad to
rccognizo ns a member of your editorial
staff, in the following neat address :
Gentlemen I am deputed by a num
ber of Harrisburg ladies to present to you
a Bmall offering prepared by them, with
tho hope you will accept in the same spirit
which prompted them to make it. This
duty would bo pleasant under any circum
stances, but it is doubly so to ono who
looks back with pleasant recollections upon
the days he spent in yourcouuty. I know,
sirs, tho county well which you left behind
you, as ono literally teeming wuu uuu
nnd lmnov. and where novertv is compar
atively unknown. I know, too, sirs, that
many of you, if not all, have enjoyed tho
comforts and luxuries oi a iiomo in a i;mu
of ptcnty, which you havo left behind in
a commendable patriotic desire to maintain
the Constitutio'; and the laws of our com-
moil couutry. This fact has not escaped
thu keen penetration of tho ladies, who,
'imbued with the noblest and most patriotic
'impulses, would make camp life rather
'pleasant than otherwise, if in their power
I so to do. They have here done what thoy
could for your enjoyment like tho Roman
1 matrons, they think that the greatest earth
ly honors are due thoso who are wi'ling to
sacrifice their lives in defence of their
homes and firesides; and whatthey lack in
this entertainment they will make up in
prayers that tho Great Jehovah will pro
tect you, and nerve your arms to "strike

War is to be deprecated at all times ;
but ono of tho worst calamities that can
befall a nation is civil war, in which even
the ties of consanguinity nro forgotten,
and it sometimes becomes a stern necessity
for brother to meet brother in deadly con
flict. Tho enemy has brought it upon
himself and must suffer the consequences.

Age and Debility. As old ago comes
creeping on, it brings with it many attend
ant infirmities. Loss of appetite and
woakness impair tho health, nnd want of
activity makes the mind discontented and
unhappy. In cases where old age adds its
influenco, it is almost impossible to add
vigor and health, nud although many
remedies have been tried, all havo failed,
until BQJRUAVE'S HOLLAND BIT
TERS were known and used. In every
case where they have been employed, they
have invariably given strength and res
tored tho appetito. They havo become a
great agent for this alono, and aro used by
many people who are suffering from loss of
appetite and general debility. In cases of
long standing ohronio diseases, thoy act as
a charm, invigorating tho system, thus giv
ing naturo another opportunity to repair
physical injuries. Sco advertisement in
