Tho Democratic party is for peace. It
will hail with satisfaction the ending of the
war, whenever that cau bo done upon the
basis of a restoration of the Union. Rut
it will not consent to separation of tho
States. Upon this platform il stands, pre

Senatorial Nomination.
Hon. William Iloncixs, of Washing
ton county, wo arc gratiGcd to learn, has
been nominated by tho Democracy of
Washington and Green counties, for State
Senator. This is a good nomination, as
Col. Hopkins is one of tho ablest Legisla

'War ainoug the Skunks" Continued.

Congressional District, in order to let our
readers seo tho progress of tho ''War

A Question.
Col. Tate took the open position at the
War Meeting on Monday evening, that ho
never has, nor never coulu submit to any
separation or disolution of tho Union.
Tho sentiment was applauded. The
question is how can he support Judge
Woodward lor uovornor, wuo in a specen
in 1601 advised the Government to "let
South Carolina go V'Smut Machine.
Dr. John, in tho abovo paragraph, ma
liciously and wilfully misrepresents Judgo
Woodward. That "citizen of unimpcach
able character, able jurist and patriotic
gentleman," as the Philadelphia Inyu'rcr
styles him, never, at any time or in any
place, favored or "advised" to "let South
Carolina go." Hero is what Judgo Wood
ward did say, not in 1801, but in 1800,
and it is just what every ''patriotic gentle
man" should say, in opposition to the oft
Tcpcatcd sentiment of such diswiionists
as Dr. John, "Wo hear it said, lot South
Carolina go," &c.
Wc give below tho exact words, which
Dr. John boldly converts into an ugly lie,
as delivered by Geo. W. Woodward, in
Independence Square, in 1SG0, and shall
next week print tho entire Speech in tho
Columbia Democrat. It is now only
"A Question" between truth and falsehood.
Hero is tho extract :
"Wo hear it said, let Soutli Carolina' go
out of tho Union poaccably. I say let her
go peaceably, if tho goes at all; but why
bhould South Carolina bo driven out of tho
Union by an irrepressible conflict about
elavcry ? Other States will be sure to fol
low sooner or later. Tho work of disin
tegration, once fairly established, will not
end with South Carolina, nor even with
all the slave States."

zens and their rights, tho Constitution and
the laws.
JCSyTho lion. Salmon P. Ch.ise, Sue-
rctary of Iho Treasury of the present ad
ministration, in a bpoech made by him in
Ohio, August 20, 1857, said, in referring
to a slavo rescue case :
Wo have a right to havo our state laws
oboyod. We don't mean to resist federal
authority. Just or unjust laws, properly
administered, will bo respected. If dis
satisfied we will go to the ballot-box and
redress our wrongs. But tve have rights
which the federal government must not hi
de rights superior lo its power, on
which our sovereignty depends, and tve do
mean to assert these rights against a't ly-
runical assumptions oj authority.
This is good advice, and wo trust tho
Democrats of Ohio will remember it when
another Vallandiqhaji case occurs in
their state. Tho constitution of Ohio ex
pressly provides that no citizen shall be
pumsucu oui oi tuc siatc ;or any crime
committed within its limits, and if the
people of Ohio forcibly resisted tho ban
ishmcnt of Mr. ArALLANDiGiiAjr thoy
would bo justified by tho teachings of Mr.
Chase. It is passing strange that, with
this record, he could remain a member of
tho cabinet after the outrage on civil rights
and state laws in tho oasG of a citizen of
his cwn state.
Tho Demooratio Nominations.
The notion of tho Demooratio Conven
tion at llarritburg, on Wcdncsdny last,
has given genoral satisfaction to its fnonda
and disappointed tho hopes of its cueinios'
Rarely has any assemblage of tho kind,
oven in ordinary times, been marked by
equal harmony of feeling and calmness of
leliboration. Tho men who composed it
met together with a full sonso of their re
spondylitics, and thoy addressed them
selves to tho important work thoy woro
appointod to do, with extraordinary purity
and directness of purpose. Rcforo a body
of delegates so constituted and disposed,
solfiah ambition stood abashed and faction
disarmed. All felt that tho public welfare
was at stako, and that tho State, in this
hour of her cxtrcmest need, demanded tho
judicial wisdom and administralivo ability
of her best and worthiest citizens. Thus
impressed, thus actuated, tho Convention
nominated Hon. Gcorgo W. Woodward,
of Luzerne, for Governor, and lion. Wal
tor II. Lowrio, of Allcghcnny, for Judgo
of tho Supreme Court. Thcso nominations
aro quite unexceptionable. Thoy defy
criticism and almost render praiso super
fluous. Thoii singular excellence extorts
acknowledgment oven from political op
position, and loaves the friends of tho
ticket but liltlo to do for it except to hold
it forth in silent challcngo of popular re
spoct and acceptance. It is aliko honora'
ble to the two distinguished candidates
named and to their party, that tho nomi
nations souirht them, and not they tho
nominations ; that their pre-eminent mcr
t, instinctively forbearing to invite rceog
nition, I omul in tho Convention the intel
ligsnco lo perceive and the virtue to pro
claim it. And as thoy owe nothing cither
to personal solicitation or to tho efforts of
particular friends, for the proud prcfcroncc
with which they havo been freely honor
ed, so will thoy enjoy tho rare felicity of
entering upon the canvass uncommitted to
any interest that is less lofty and compre
hensive tit an the principles of their party
and tho honor and welfare of Pennsylvania.
It is not often, wc regret to say, that gen
tlemen of such irrcproachablo character
aro named for public office, or that nomi
nating bodies make choice of them with
tho signal unanimity and unprompted
spontancomness which marked tho selec
tion of Mr. Woodward and Mr. Lowric.
When, therefore, men who arc singularly
charged in no email measure to tho per
sistent efforts of this paper to sccuro just
such a nomination as was made. Wo cer
tainly did bog, most earnestly, week nftor
week, for sovcral months beforo tho Con
vention mot, that it would give tho party
an entirely unexceptionable standard bear
er, and our wish has been most complete
ly fulfilled. Wo named no body for tho
nomination, but wo most assuredly did ia
dioato tho kind of man that was wanted,
by describing his opposite. And now
that tho work has been so satisfactorily
done, we should not affect to deny any
possible share wo may havo had m it since
wo must boar a heavy part of tho blame
imputed by those whose hopes and wishes
wcro disappointed by tho Convention.

V. Woodward,
Tho following letter from tho Hon. G.
W. Woodward, addressed to Col. Ciias.
J. Riddle, explains itself. It proves what
tho people already know, and what has
been repeatedly demonstrated, that in tho
hour of danger, Col. BinDLE is always
ready to sacrifice his life to the honor and
safety of his State and country. Col. Rid
dle is ready to serve as a common soldier
in tho ranks, or in any sphero that may
bo open to him. To comment on this act
would bo an insult to tho patriot. Wc
can only repeat Judgo Woodwaud's wish
that Col. Diddle "may tako enough men
with him to expel tho invaders from our
borders :"
As to Judgo Woodward's letter, the
people will sco from it, that tho Demo
crats, true to their patriotic instincts, have
selected tho right man for tho right place.
In tho hour of danger, Judge Woodward
knows but ono duty that of saving the
State and tho Union, With a man of
such principles, truo lo tho Constitution
and tho Union, tho Democrats will yet

That thc public may fully understand
tho character of tho Columbia County

From lato datc3 wo loom that Hon. 0.
L. Vallandigham has arrived at Bwrmuda
iu the steamer Lady Davis, Tho Royal
Gazette says he is on tho way to Canada,
thoro to await coming events.
iSyTho frco commonwealths have never
threatened or attempted to dissolvo tho
Unipn, Republican.
During the war of 1812, resolutions
wcro introduced in tho Legislature of tho
"free Commonwealth" of Massachusetts,
threatening secession ; and at a later pc
riod tho samo "frco Commonwealth" de
clared through her representatives, that
'Hf Texas was admitted into the Union,

every way fair ; or in other words, that
the thing should not bc run as o political
machine, and that tho enrolling officers
should bo appointed from tho Soldiery
whore found to bo competent men who
had soon service, and men who would bc
cry likely to abstain from mixing up with
politics in performing their duly- Such
was thc tono of public sotitimcnt expressed
by thc masses of all parties. Mr. Phin
ncy was known to bc in favor of a course,
and forming ono of thc Board for the op
poiutmont of enrolling officers, held a very
important position at tho timo of his dis
missal, which was brought about without
any hearing of his party, and as was bo
licved by tho people generally, because he
would not consent to becomo an mstru
mcut in tho hands of politicians for the
purposo of a re-enactment of the formali
tics of tho draft of 1SG2. Capt. A J
Frick, of Danville, was appointed as Mr,
Phinncy a successor propably a very
good man. Wo certainly know nothing
to tho contrary : but it was enouuh to
know for what purposo he was appointed
a3 was generally believed and lo whom
ho was indebted for bia placo, and tho in
fluenccs that vfoutd bo thrown around him
It was for this reason Mr. Tracy was ap
pealed to as tho member of Congress of
tho district, to stop forth and remedy the
evil, if in his power to do so, and nso his
influeneo to get tho thing iu a shap
whereby tho public would havo confidence
iu thc draft. It was dcriroablc to know
that tho acta of all thc officers connected
therewith were right and proper, and that
they would transact their business in an
impartial manner, and that all their do
ings should bc divested of polities.
It was under such circumstances that
Mr. Tracy tho't proper to go thro' his
Congressional district and confer, and
consult with thc people his constituents
men who havo tho dcepcrt interest in
thcso things, and to ascertain what would
bo the best and most propr courso to bo
pursued, It is true lie consulted with
them as a People not with a Party.
Wo arc told that among others whilo at
Bloomsburg, ho called upon Judgo El well,
our former townsman. Mr. Tracy, well
knew that serious opposition had been
made to thc draft in many sections, and
feeling a desire that it should bo so con
ducted in his district that tho people should
have tho fullest confidence in all things
connected therewith, induced him to visit
tho differ uut sections of his district for that
purpose, and for that ho is arraingod by
tho "Republican," boeause ho called upon
domocrats as well as Republicans ; or in
other words, bocauso he would not stoop
to recognize parly leaders as his only
counsellors and advisers in what ho deem
cd tho performance of a sacred duty.
Tho matter was fully canvassed and tho
result laid beforo tho Secretary of War.
Mr. Stantou deemed it proper lo appoint
Mr. Grier, as tho Draft Commissioner, in
placo of Capt. Frick who had Iho samo
lcavo to retire, as his predecessor; Wo
believe thc appointment a good one, as
Mr. Grier is a competent and worthy man.

Lis duty without referenco to political

that tho enrollment is progressing quietly

organ in tho lower end of tho District, of
Mr. Clark, for Congress. Immediately
after Mr. London, at tho bidding of Mr,
Wilmot, and his special adherents, (Di
John included) was unceremonious v
thrust from tho ticket, and Mr. Clark
uominotcd in his stead, tho Columbia
County Republican, camo out with an ex"
tra, appealing to tho democrats of the diV
trictto rally to tho support of Mr. Clark,
against Mr. Tracy, upon tho ground of
his conservatism stating that upon na
tional questions Mr. Clark's views wcro
moro in unison with theirs; representing
Mr. Tracy as an abolitionist, and endeav
oring to excito llicir prejudices against
him on that account Date you deny V'j
Doctor? Wo refer to thcso facts, to
ow that this man Dr. John, liko tho
man iu whoso wake ho follows, is a mcro
political demagoguo, ready for any expe
diency that promises success to thrir per
sonal schemes ; and that his professions
of attachment to principlo is unworthy
thc confldenco of honest men.
The truth is that about tho only Demo-
rat that Mr. 'i RAcr called upon in
Bloomsburg ot tho timo referred to, was
tho Hon. Wsi. Elwell, Judge of tho
Court of Columbia county, formerly a rcs-
dont of Bradford, an acquaintance and
friend of Mr. Tracy, with whom he had
business.
Mr. Elwell was, last fall, elected Judgo
of tho District where he now presides withj
out opposition all parties supporting him.
Is it a political sin for Mr. Tracy to b3
found in such company 1 Oris it moro
of a political sin for Mr. Tracy to bo
found in tho company of democrats than
for Dr. Johu, to appeal to mon whom ho
is continually denouncing as Copperheads
for their support of Mr. Clark 1 If ho re
gards thc company of dcrnocratj bo dan
gerous, why did ho assuro them last fall
that they could support Mr. Clark with
more S'ifcty than Mr. Tracy, on account
of Mr. Clark's nearer affinity with their
principles ? Who would trust the Blooms
burg Republican, after such an exhibition
of consistency as this ! Who doubts tho
loyalty of the Hon. Win. Elwell ? And
further, Mr. Tracy did make tho acquain
tance of Republicans thoro on that occa
sion and wc can provo it,
The Bradford Reporter also takes up
tho abovo extract from tho Columbia
County Republican, nnd rings tho charges
upon it, in its last week's issuo. All wo
have to say to our neighbor is, that if it
has becomo a sin for a Republican to rc-
ccivo tho support of democrats for on office
or even to be found talking with o demo
crat, he will be minus a very largo num
ber of votes when ho comes beforo tho
people next fall for rc-clcction to the offico
of Prothonotary, and very probably mi
nus thc offico.
