jjQy-Dr. John's insinuation, in this
week's machine, that tho Commissioners
were compelled to do justice to the volun
teers is superlatively contemptible. They
never intended injustice to our noble vol
unteers. Much less, bad he or his clan,
any viflnencc on their action.
t&r-Tko Democratic Stato Central Com

noblo Volunteers for the Union.
cSyllENKY J. Myers, Esq., of Adams
county, ha3 been nominated by tho Demo
cratic Convention for tho Legislature.
Last year Mr. Myers was elected by the
citizen voto, but one John Buzby, claimed
his seat on tho strength of two majority of
tho Army voto, aud cheated Mr. M. out of
his scat in tho House. Justice will now
prevail.
UQyTho memborsof the Band, attached
to tho Iron Guards, arrived in Bloomsburg
on Saturday, having becu honorably dis
charged from tho service. They havo no
quit thcmsolvcs with honor, in tho service
of tho Union Army, and wcro joyfully
welcomed homo again. Thrice welcome,
patriotic volunters.
jBQfDr. John mistakes the spirit of our
loyal pcoplo and his own duty as a citi
zen, in his attempt to cry down or depre
ciate tho standing of Wm Eyer. lie
openly justifies both of tho recent out
rageous acts of violoncc, and it would
seem is anxious to inaugurate mob-law
in our community This is certainly a
mistake, atfempt it who may, and they
must be very careful that they do not,
sooner or later, reap tho bitter fruit of
sucli teachings.

ESy-A snniTED address. Hon. Fran
cis VY. Hughes, Chairman of tho Demo

a second address to tho peoplo. It is an
ablo and spirited produciton, aud will be
found in auothor column. The suggestion
for County Meetings, to bo holdall over
tho Stato on tho 17th of September the
anniversary of tho adoption of tho Feder
al Constitution is one which will, doubt
less, meet with favor, and be cheerfully
responded to by all tho frionds of tho Con
stitution as it is and tho Uniou as it was.
Wo presume the Democratic Committooof
Columbia county will bo called together
by the Chairman at an early day to take
action on tho suggestion.
JtgyTiiE National Exhibition of Horses,

refused. Geo. M. Patchin, Jr., has also
been entered as a thorough bred Stallion,
and is well known as one of the best horses
ju tho country.
BSyDr. John attempts to censuro the
District Attorney, for instituting legal pro
ceedings against the men who wcro instru
mental in producing disturbance in our
peaceful county. Passing by his numer
ous falsohood3, in rolation to tho prosccu
tions, it is proper to say, that ho willfully
or ignorantly perverts tho truth, in saying
thatthatofficer gets 83 each for twenty pros-
ccutions. Every timplcton knows, or ought
to know, that tho Attorney's Fco is 5 00
for each indictment, aud that is all tho
District Attornoy gets in this case in
stead of C-00 as thoy aro all oomprchju
ded in ono prosecution. Truly
"Whcro ignoranco is bliss,

A Bit op Advice. Sunator Sumner,
in his hypocritical letter to tho Now York
meeting, says :
"What I can do lot mo Uo. Thcro is
no work which 1 will not undertake, there
is nothing I will not reuouueo, if so I can
sorvo my country."
Well, says the St. L6uis Republican,
ho can servo his country by a very easy
performance. Let him reign his seat in
tho Senate aud announce that ho will not
bo a candidate for rc election, and then go
into tho army as a voluutocr and take tho
front rank.
EQyTiiE Dundalk (Ireland) Democra I
says :
"The American Union is tho best friend
of Ireland in tho world. Wo bog to tell
the Irish in America that tho pcoplo of
Ireland aro nearly to a man with the cause
of tho Union and against the wicked re
bellion of tho nigger whippers. They do
not forgot tho good deeds of tho llepublio
in their day of distress, and they heartily
wish success to tho Stars and Stripes aud
a speedy defeat to that audacious factiou
who havo revolted against tho frcccst Gov
ernment mankind has over witnessed.

they conld never be on terms of equality
with the whito race, and argued in favor
of negro colonization in Central America.
No response was made to his remarks.
jSgy-Allen & Needles's Fertilizers.
Those well known merchants, Allen &
Needles, of Philadelphia, again avail
themselves of the columns of the Democrat,
to call attention of Columbia county farm
ers to the merit of their standard man
ures. Nothing better than their cele
brated Super Phosphate has ever been of
fered ; while those who have faith in the
superior efficacy of Guano, can bo supplied
with an excellent article on highly favora
bio terms.
BSyGEX. Butler has brought the New
Orleans churches back to tho first princi
ples. IIo will allow tho "largest liberty"
in preaching the Gospel of Christ, but ho
will not permit tho preaching of disunion
and treason, nor assault on tho Govern
ment. If such an order had been rigidly
enforced in New England during tho last
ten years, thcro would havo been no re
bellion and no disastorous and bloody civil
war.
CSyGrccley says that the fighting men
of his party, who have never smelt battle,
number 900,000. Moro shame for them,
but the draft will operate on some of theso
patriots. Instead of staying at home and
making mischief by denounciug loyal Dem
ocrats as "secessionists," they will havo to
face and fight tho real secessionists an
earnest work, and of a very different sort
from that they havo been engaged" in for
tho last yoar or more.
They Want Onions. A loud cry for
onions comes from the camps on tho James
River. Ten cents is paid for a single on
ion, becauso ecurvoy 13 appearing and there
is nothing liko onions to keop off scur
vy. Government is implored to send along
somo onions. Tho cry of ono correspond
ent is, "liberty and onions, now and for
ever, ono and inseperablo !" Send us on

Send us onions."

A Glorious Spirit Aroused.
Tim nntriotio inmiilso of tho aovcrcien!
pcoplo aro now fully aroused, and but ouo 1
I Miiitimcnt pervades tho Northern hoait a
sentiment of deep, determined resistance to
the infamous traitors in arms against tho
Government. Immcnso bodies of troops
troops animated by tho spirit of their fore
fathers aro pouring iuto camps, to reoeivo
tho woappns of war to bo used against tho
merciless wrolohcs who havo dared to lift
their voices and their hands against tho
best country and best Government ever
vouchsafed to man. "Down with tho trai.
tors, is now tho watchwords ot tlio pcoplo
too lenient with tlio enemies ot our country)
and our loyal pcoplo aro at length con
vinced that it was a miitaken policy, how
ever well iutouded, to deal tenderly with
men whoso sworn purposo it was and is to
dottroy tho country, tho Coustitution and
laws bequeathed us by our veteran fathers.
Forbearance, therefore, has ceased to bo
a virtue, and henceforth wc must uso se
verity when wc contend with rebels.
Let all conditions of men assist then to
"push on thu column," and these who from
business or family relations or incapacity,
cauuot themselves join tho army, should
freely contribute their means to tho desti
tuto families of thoso who havo gone
Thcro should be no niggardly, miserly men
these times, but all who can should give of
their means freely to encourage enlistments
and then thauk their God that ihey had It
in their power to give. Cost what it may
in life aud treasure, this unhappy contest
must bo put through to the bitter end.
The Union must not bo dissolved ; the
Coustitution m ist not bo mocked at. If
in our efforts to restore tho Union, we in
volve ourselves in bankruptcy aud ruin, so
bo it. Tho war was commenced at the
South, and will bo ended by tho North,
be it soon or remote.
Enlist then, young men, now that your
country calls. Both humanity and econ
omy dictate tho necessity of strong mea
sures and a strong army. A draft may
not become necessary if tho whole people
put their shoulders to tho wheel and as
sist, by every means in their power, to
crush tho traitors and rebellion. Colum
bia county has thus far acted nobly, and
wo have no doubt, that if our patriotic
peoplo come up to tho work manfully and
with alacrity, wc will bo ablo to send half
a regiment to tho field. So mote it bo.

The New Comet. The comet
which is now attracting some attention
among astronomers, was discovered as ear
ly as Juuo 18th, aud when first seen, the
eccntrio motion was quito slow, it being at
a greater distance thau tho sun, and mov
ing iu an orbit, making a very large angle
with tho elliptic At that time it appear
ed to astronomers a3 a nebuhc, considera
bly condensed at the centre, the light be
ing intense enough to bo easily seen when
the wire of the telescope micrometer wero
illuminated by artificial light. From this
fact astronomers conclude that the amount
of matter composing this body is consid
erable, exceeding tho ouo discovered on
tho Ud of July in a very large ratio, for
thoy estimate tho intensity of tho light of
tho second equal to that oftho first on tho
3d,'vhen it was distant only nine million
distant only
miles. On the evening oftho !3lst of July
tho embryo of a tail was distinctly seen by
tho aid of tho telescope ; and as early as
tho "8th the light was moro concentrated
on the side, in tho direction of its motiou,
showing that the tail was already in tho
process of formation. On the 7th of Au
gust tho tail had increased in length and
brilliancy, but, owing to tho strong moon
light, it cannot bo seen so readily at the
time. As it is now approaching both tho
earth aud tho 'sun, and being sofavorablo
situated for observation, it will without
doubt, attain great brillaucy. Judging
from tho records of past comets and tho
position of tho present, it is thought it will
reach its maximum brillancy about tho t!0th
of August, when it will bo ouly one-fourth
tho distauco it was on tho lBthofJuly.
It is now moving towards tho north polo
of tho heavens, and ou the I5th inst., will
bo only 80 degrees from tho polo,beiug the
nearest approach, after which it will movo
again towards tho equator. Owing to its
closo proximity to tho pole, during tho
uext two weeks it will bo visible during the
wholo night.

ol Ihc United States of America.
Since the 17lli of September, 1787, thcro
has been no period ill tho history of Amuri
ea when it was so eminently filling and
important as llitf present to bring to llio at
tention of Iho American peoplo great fun
damental priuciptof, which must underlie
any Government where civil aud religious
liberty exist, and especially those that tm
derlio Iho Government of this Uuinti a
Union which roUs lor its foundation upon
that Coiis-litulion which alTirine and prnpi
sos to make sacred and perpetual ihiij-c
principle-). That Cons'itutloii anil that
Union ono and inseparable aro now as
sailed by foes throughout tho whole hunt,
by Secessionists in tho South ami Abolition
ists iu tlio North. The lornter b) a bold
organized, armed movement. MriLo directly
and avowedly at the whole sovereign
ly and cjiisteneo of our Coiisiiliilioiial Gov
eminent. The latier by equally dinicl of
lorls but from under the cloak of recenllj
declared IriemlMiip aud pairio'.ism, Are
seeking lo llirnst their Irailoroii9 stiletto.-)
into tho hurt'" blood of thu nalion.
Tho people ol this land aro Ilia source of
all power. They made Coiiclilulions, mid
Ihey can, and, (unless ilu:y would become,
tho victims nl di't-polism or anarchy) 11111M
uphold them. Tlio great lutidamcnlnl prin
ciples of civil nnd religious liberty assorted
in the American Constitution nru o'seuiiul
lo secure us in the enjoyment of life and
properly, and in iho pursuit of happiues.
Among these are the freedom of speech
and of tho Press, the tight of tho peoplo
peaceably lo assemble, iho tight of the peo
plo to be secure in their persons', houses,
papers and effects against unrcasnnnblH
searches and seizures, that no warrant shall
issuo but upon pruhablo c.n-o, supported
by oaih or affirmation, that no p.-rson shall
be held 10 answer for a capital or other in
famous crime unless rn a presentment or'
indictment of a Grand Jury except in ea-us
arising in the him! and naval forces, or in
the militia when in actual soincu in limo
of war or public danger, that no citizen
shall bo depriied of li!e, liberty or property
without due proce-s of law that iu all crim
inal prosecutions, the accused .-hall enjoy
Iho right to a speedy and public trial, by
an impartial jury of the Stale or Districi
where ihc crime shall havo been commit
ted, which District shall havo beon provi
ous'y ascertained by law, and to be inform
ed of the nature and cause of the accusation
10 bo confronted with tho witnesses against
him, lo have coinpul-ory process lor ob
taining witnesses in his favor, nnd to have
the assislaneu of counsel for his defence.
That tho powers not delegated to tho United
State-, by tho Constitution, nor prohibited
by it to the Suite, are reserved to tho Stales
respectively, or to thu people.
Among iho powers not delegate I to tho
United Sintos, but reserved lo iho Status re
speetively or to the people, is the right to
hold eleetiniH.and to determine upon and
fix iho qualific.ilions of voters. Willi the
people of Pennsylvania this great right "s
fived by tho Constitution of llio Siah-
n...i
no power but that Constitution,
, ii mi
wid laws
onacted in pursuance thereof, can prohibit
tho exe.-cjen of; or limit or restrain thai
right a rght most inestimable to our poo
pie, and formidable to tyrants only.
Follow countrymen, on the coming anni
versary ol the day of tho adoption o tin
American Consii-.uiion, in the p.erciu of
"tlio right of tho people neacoablv
i scmblo," lol us nil solemnly and roreronily,
in tlio face of all men and before Heaven
declare our firm determination "to pled-e
our lives, our fortunes, and our sacred hon
ors, -to preserve, protect and defend the
Constitution of the United Siatos.'' Let us
afTord to President I.inculn tho most indu
bilablo ovideueo, thai in ihu observance of
his oaih ot ollieo lo do tho same thing, wo
will uphold and support him, just as re'adt
ly as we liavu already shown him that in
filling up Irom our ranks tho rcal bulk of
the army, now aud heretofore in tho field
wo have always been teady at whatever1
sacrifice to str-ku don open and armed
defiance to the execution of the laws and
to Ihu sovereignly of the Government As
Domocrais, and thu-uUe as loyal men, we
can know no other principle; ol political ac
lion, but to uphold iho Govern.UH.it and
obey the laws, and that the best evidence
ot our firm purposo to do so is, that as a
part of tho people, wo will demand iho
maintenance of ihu Coiistuuiiou in all its
parts and tho preservation of The Union in
is perfect integrity, and that we will hold
all mm, Noril. as well as South, who assail
