Tnu Danville Intelligencer, is amongst
tho ablest and best of our country demo
crnt'o paprrs. Gnpt. Thos. Ouaitant, is
an able and fearless Editor. It would re
quire a regiment of abolition Unions to

the time-honored Intelligencer, the noblo
organ of the Democracy of Montour.
Auctionekii. Mr. Jacob Siieliiart,
of Montour co., offers his serviocs as auc
tioneer. Mr. S. has had an experience of
several years at tho business, and gives
general satisfaction. Ho is besides a sound
old fashioned Democrat, which is n stronc
rcccomnicndation when it is known that
most of, the Abolition auctioneers carry
their politics into business.

Another Abolition Outrage.
On Tuesday night of last week, the of
fice of tho Northumberland County Dent'
ocrat, at Sunbury, was forcibly entered
and the Typos, Presses, Cases, Papers,
Hooks, &c were injured and destroyed.
llus outrage was committed in tho dead
hour of night and in the absence of tho
Editor, Hon. ', H. I'uiidy, who was at
Harrisburg, as a Mombor of tho Goncral
Assembly. It is allcdgcd that this coward
ly act was committed by a body of rowdy
soldiers from New York, so-journing the
past day in Sunbury. It is moro likely,
that so mean an assault upon privato
property, was either committed by, or tbo
assailants instigated to itn commission by
the Editors of tho Sunbury Abolition ma
obincs,and their disloyal abettors snoaks,
pimps and cowards who enjoy tho lar
gest license for such unlawful business, by
tho voluntary Pardon for all such crimes
of Andrew G. Gurtin.
The Catastrophe in Chili.
On our first pago will be found a full
and grapbie account of tho sad occurrence
st Santiago, the capital ol tho republic of
Chili, in South America. It is tho most
appalling Catastrophe of modern times,
and accustomed as wo are to tho trcmcn
dous scones of oaruago and death now con
stantly occurring so near us, on the battle
field, our blood almost curdles at this new
horror. The unexpeotcdness of the event
tho oharactcr and number of tho helpless
victim?, their devotion, and the indeseri
bably terrible circuuiBtanoes of tho occur
rence, all stamp it as unparellod in modern
times, far eclipsing tho loss of tho Royal
George, in the last century, the fall of tho
Poruberton Mills, and tho other sad events
which have thrilled tho globe witli horror.
Tariff on Paper. Hon. W. II. Mil
ler, of Pennsylvania, has introduced a
resolution into Congress, which passod,
requesting the Committeo on Ways and
Means to inquiro into tho expediency of
repealing the advalorcm tariff of 20 per
cent, upon printing paper imported into
this country. This is a step in tho right
direotion and should be followed up im
mediately by passing such an act. The
paper makers now have a monopoly of
the business and impose just such prices
upon tho peoplo as they ohooso to ask.
Some times they allego that tho capacity
of tho mills is so taxed that they cannot
supply the demand. If this bo tho caso it
is another reason why tho tariff should
bo taken off, and tho papor could be im
ported to supply the demand.
The Legislature.
The organization of tho Senate appears
no nearer a consummation than it was
three weeks ago. Senator White's soat is
not yot filled, neither is.thero a likelihood
that it will bo, short of a new election

that the system must bo evil becauso it

PitOLONOiNQ thu War Tho Albany
Argue truly says that there is no other
explanation of the peculiar tactiek of the
Administration, its removal of Generals
and its wasteful management or our armios,
than a deliberate design to protract the
war, and prevent the possibility of peace
until after tho re-election of Linooln.
President Liucoln is avowedly the can
didate of tho Padicals, and was recently
! presented as such by Wendell Philips.
H0 depends for re-election upon tho votes
0f the Army, and of tho spurious Electoral
Collcages iu iho seceded States. Peace.

A Suggestion.
The Democratic people are responding
with great alacrity to tlio contemplated

What wo have to suggest is, that the sum

landigham is accumulating honors such as
no mere Embassador abroad has ever ac
quired. Let us sco to it that ho has tho
substantial remuneration which he de
serves. Tho peoplo aro not yet wholly
