The Democratic Ticket.
Wo raise to-day, at our mast-hoad, the
Democratic) Ticket, nominated on Monday
last, at BloomBburg, by tho the Columbia
County Demoorario Convention. It was
harmoniously formed is composed ol
good men and sound Democrats and
henoo embodies tho ehoioe of tho great
Democratic) Party. And wo shall ex
ert our ardent ttifluenco and best energies
to eeouro tho triumphant election of its
every candidate.
Leonard 13. Rupert ,of Bloomsbarg,has
been placed in nomination for Congress,
and it is einoorely hopod he may bo nom
inated by the Confarouce of this District,
Judgo Rupert, is ono of the purest oiti
lens of Columbia county, is domocratio
from prinoiple, and ono of tho most esti
mablo men in Pennsylvania. Ho would, if
nominated, command moro than tho usual
democratio majority.
Williamson H. Jacoby, the Editor of
the "Star of the North," is tho nominee
of the Convention for the Legislature.
Whatever of peraonal difference may have
heretofore existed betwixt us, if any, there
ii nothing of a political oharaoter, and his
nomination shall receive our cordial and
earnest support. He is a sound domoorat,
of some promiso, and wo hopa ho may
make a safo and worthy Representative
for the Deroooraoy of Columbia and Mon
tour.
Samuel Snyder, of Mifflin township ,is
the nomineo for tbo offico of Sheriff. Ho
is an honest Farmer, an activo intelligent
young man, a finiahod esholar and a very
worthy citizen. We know Mr. Snyder
intimately, and shall be greatly deceived
in the man, if he doos not mako a humane
and efficient officer. His elootion is a foro
gone conclusion.
Allen Mann, of Bjaver township, has
been placed in nomination lor Comniu
(doner. Ho too is a young man of first
rate business qualifications, For several
years ho has been an acting Justice of tho
Peaoe ; is a ready acoounlant, and will
bring sound judgement and business ex
perience into the Board of Commissioners.
Daniel Snyder, of Soott township,
Under tho Constitution of tho United
I States, tho President and Congress form
tbo war-making and poaoe-making powor.
There is none other.-Co, co. Republican.
The stupidity of tho above is charac
teristic. The only wonder is, that in a
country of common school9,any man should
have lived to the ago of forty, without
somo accurate notion of tho government
under which he lives.
The constitution of the United States
oonfers tbo power of declaring war upon
Congress, in express terms ; and tho Pres
ident has no moro power to mako war,
than any officer of tho army. Tho power
in Congress is exclusive as any body with
pretensions ought to know. And as to tho
power of making Peace, that is vested in
the President and the Senate, of the Uni
ted States. A two-thirds vote of the Sen-
ato being required in tho confirmation of
a treaty.
We do not of course pretend to notioo
all the stupid and foolish things which ap-
poar in tho said "Republican," if wo did
we should not havo time for anything olao
The abovo is a sample of tho whole.
The Extra Session.
The militia bill passed at tho extra ses
sion of tbo Legislaturo is a fair sample of
abolition legislation in this State. It gives
the Governor power to appoint all officers
abovo captain, to draft the 15 Regiments
from any portion of the Commonwealth,
to seize horsos, supplies and railroads, and
leaves the men liablo to national draft, and
allows them to be taken out of the State
at tho pleasure of tho authorities. It also
fiuej volunteers 25 dollars for not furnish
ing themselves with uniforms, and imposes
other heavy penalties. Tho othor Legis
lation is of a like character. The domi
nant party had things their own way, and
it is bo wonder that papers like tho Phila
delphia Inquirer cries out against it.
A Change.
The signs of tho times indicate, in the
strongest possible manner, that we arc to
have a change in tho administration at
Washington. Everywhere we hear of nu
merous changes of opinion and a detcrmi-1
nation to cast out the miserably imbecile j
Pcnco !
It is announoed, somi-officiaily, says tbo
Luzerne Union, that President Lincoln is
about to appoint commissioners to go to
Richmond for tho purposo ol arranging
terms upon which wo oan havo posoe, It
is said that he is now willing to offer to tho
South a cessation of hostilities and an arm
istice, until a national convention of all
States can bo had, to agree upon the terms
of a final, and if possible permauent peace.
God grant that ho and thoso acting with
him, may exhibit somo mcasuro of wis
dom nnd humanity, and commence this
glorious work.
What roal ground thcro is for this ru
mor, wo knoW not. Wo can only say,wo
hopo it is founded in an honest conviction
of its propriety, and the nbsoluto necessi
ty of something hctddes brutal fighting to
put an end to a war that has been waged
too long already. It soems however to bo
too go6d and too sensible n muvo to bo
maco by this administration. The Demo
cracy havo been asking for such a move
ment for a long time, and from the com
mencement they havo received nothing but
vituperation and tho moat bitter denunci
ation from tho parly in power for suggest
ing so reasonable and just a mode for tho
settlement of our national difficulties.
Senator Wilson has recently writton a let
ter in which ho states that the administra
tion and its supporters will never consent
to a settlement of our national difficulties
upon such a basis. Whilo theroforo wo
horo and trust the administration is wil
ling and anxious to bring about a setttle
ment upon the plan proposed, wo as fond
ly hopo and trust that tbo thing will not
bo entered into as a political trick, as is
hinted by some, to hoad off the action of
tho Chicago Cnvcntion, or by making tho
attempt a failure, uso it for tho political
advantage of the party in power, as they
have attempted to mako political capital
and advant igo out of tho recent visit of
Col. Jacques to Richmond.
Tho peoplo aro tired of this war. They
aro tired and heartily sick of its crimes,
its slaughter, its corruption, its mismanage
ment, its accumulation of public debt, its
desolation, its ruin, and they are deter
mined to put an end to it. Thoy will hail
with joy tho day, when for the purposo of
restoring tho Constitution and the Union
of their fathers, an armistico shall be pro
claimed, and tho people and States shall
meet in national convention to arrange
and settlo forever the matters of difference
between the one section and tho othor.
They have tried war until they are tired,
and everyday brings news, not of success
and progress that inspiro hopo of a settle
ment by that means, but of defeat, a wast
ing away of our armies in tho field, a ter
rible destruction of human life, and a put
ting oir of the glorious consummation, a
day of peaoe, of prosperity, of happiness,
of glory.

The Delegates representing iho Democ
racy ol Columbia County in Convention
assembled, feeling their responsibility ,-s
citizens a like of tbo State and of the Ui i- cerncd the States
ted Elates, and reiterating and reaffirm
ing their devotion to tho Federals and
State Constitutions and to all laws enac
ted pursuant thereto,
licsolv.il, That in their opinion tho
present sad condition of our country is to
be traced mainly to tho meddlesome and
revolutionary polioy of tho abolitionists
who disregarding laws and constitutional
obligations and setting ouurls at defiance,
hi're deliberately and wilfully embroiled
tbo country in civil war ; and that before
Peace and union can be restored their
power must be overthrown at the ballot
box by tlio suffrages of Amerioau Frco
men. Resolved That Abraham Lincoln, the
President of tbo United States, having re
peatedly violated the Constitution he was
sworn to support, protect and defend ;
having trampled upon the rights ol the
peoplo, and deprived tho Courts established
by law of their legitimate power and au
thority; we in Common with many of
his supporters denounco his actions as
"Extcutivo usurpations" aud call upon
all true men everywhere to join us in res
toring the administration of the Govern
ment to its former purity, and the liberties '
or the peeple to tueir ancient dignity and
inviolability, by electing the Chicago Norn
iuea, to tho Presidency of tho United
Slates.
Resolved, That Abrham Lincoln, in
his letter addressed "To all whom it may
concern," by making the abandonment of
slavery by the South a condition preodent
to negotiations for peace, has deliberately
and autboritatsvely announced a change
of the character of the war, from that ol
ono for the resloi alio n of tin C'nion, to
, one Jor the Jorcible abolition of slavery ;
' thereby making tho South moro unitod in
tho war, and rendering tho speedy attain-
. ment of peace and re union utterly impos
i -i ,
sioie.
Resolveo, That wo aro for a Union
Peace at the earliest possible moment and
for subordinating all other objects to it,
and to this end tor soUcting a President
1 of tho Unitod States and other high offi
I cials who will reject tho guilty aud fatal
! polioy of Lincoln as exhibited in tbo ori
gin of tho war, tu its past management,
I and in tho duolared object of its future
proncuunoo.
Resolved, That wo are for maintain
