Now, when they see republicans unfeignedly rejoicing over the success of their party tickets in various localities, ana una a change of nearly 40,000 votes in favor of the democracy, in tbo htatoot Pennsylva nia, To find that they had faltered when others stood firm, to find that they lad been deluded while their brethren had piercod tho thin disguiso of the enemy, would have been mortifying in tho extreme, and would have justified, in some measure, the sneers and charges of the Republican as to " the ignorance and stupidity of the pcoplo in the back townships." But they have nobly stood by their country, and wo shall gratify tbem by showing them that they are sustained by tho people of the State.

On tho whole, therefore, tho Republican loss is severe, which speaks largely for tho influence of the blind heifers from our party who went over to them for tho purpose of screening them from popular condemnation. Of one thing wo aro proud to boast in com mon with the Dcmocraoy of the county, viz : that In less than a icar,afttr the werwhelm ing success and advent topower of the Re publicans the Democracy compelled them ta attempt to hide their principles under Democratic names and to abandon tfie very designation by which their purty teas known, Of another thing we boast, vir : that the Judgo Woodward.

The means resorted to by tho Opposi tion leaders to defeat our ticket we will at present simply characterize as cxtraordi- and will hereafter occupy. Theso are but the necessary acquirements of tho judicial station. Collateral to them are that gener al culture, that knowledge of men and things, of literature, history, and science, which enablo a Judge to discharge his va ried duties with tho comprehensive and nary.

Accustomed as our Bar has our candidates, and active men, and the , tcen to these traits, in tho excellent Judco organ of the Opposition teemed with per sonal libels against all of us, (in such form as to avoid responsibility,) the utterance of which would shame the most abandoned blackguard in ordinary times. That most powerful lover money was used with a degreo of freedom we havo never before witnessed, and tho different Railroad pow ers were brought to bear with all the force and tyranny they were capable of. That tho great body of the Democracy stood firm under this torrent of misrepresenta tion and corruption is a subject of the who for so many years has presided over our Courts, thoy will bo able to appreciate his successor. The manner of Judgo Woodward's o lection, and the largo mnjority which he has received, may be to him just causo of personal gratification. Personal acquain tances in the county he had but few ; there were no former friendships, no old associ ations of business or interest, or ob ig.it ions from favors received, to stimulate individ ual exertion.
