The Coalition.
Felty Beat's paper of last week hoiata un.
der the head of Montour county, anti-repeal
and Democratic ticket, the namea of
HENRY M FULLER for Congress
VALENTINE BEST for Senator
CHARLES B. BOWMAN for Assembly.
This then is a confession that Mr. Bow
man is opposed to repeal, We hare before
alluded to the coalition between Beat and
Fuller, and the lace of Beat's last paper fully
proves onr charges. We hare teen the bar
gain maturing tor some time. Best has
-travelled up the river and Bowman down;
and v irious consultations and conferences
have been slyly held ky the faithful. As a
~ connecting link in the bargain, a meeting
was held last week in Briarcreek township
by some of Best's datpiert, which resolved to
support Charles B. Bowman for Assembly,
and Joseph Gensel Esq., of Briarcreek fax
Coramisetoner. Every body can see that
this bringing out of volunteers is intended to
make a new stab at therepeal ticket. Genael is
brought out to make strength for Bowman;
and by attempting to defeat Staley is to wea
ken the lepeal force. Bnt it wont do gentle
. men. The repeal lotce is not be distracted
or divided by Felly's volunteers. They can
do no mischief where the game is under
stood. The few Demociats of Briarcreek
who are supporting Bowman; need not pre
; tend to strain at a Whig Commissioner when
; they can swallow Fuller and Best.
Ws cannot see why the congressional
- question should be dragged into the repeal is
sue, for the former is purely a political issue,
and has DO natural connection with repeal.
But Best bns seized npon the Congressional
nomination, as he has upon every thing else
, that can give him capital. He uses every
- man .who can subserve the bate purposes of
v.the reckless traitor. Forthiaend is Bowman a
"Whig volunteer and Genael a Democratic
volunteer. For this aim does Felty sport
Fuller's name .under the bead of "Demo
cratic ticket."
And now, to shew that the coalition does
not only appear from Felty's own paper, the
Berwick Telegraph, which professes to be a
Democratic paper, while it has become the
mere echo of Felly's own, refuses to raise
the name of Wright for Congress, (just as
Felty does) and puts at the head of the tick
et the following,
"FOR CONGRESS
HENRY M. FULLER.
FOR SENATOR
VALENTINE BEST.
And further down under the head of "Inde

FOR ASSEMBLY

•Mahoning in 1839 included what is now

townships. , -- -
fCatlawissa in 1839 included Franklin town
ship which lies near Danville.
This shows that the agricultural portions of
the county then understood the question and
voted it down. If Montour county wes
once fully ereoted, another application would
at once be made and the paupers of manu
facturing establishments of Danville would
be kept in the public poor-house at the ex

of Danville now amounts to some 83,000 a
year, and this th a farmers of Montour would
be compelled to pay Let them think of
this when they come to vote, and LET
THEM BE WARNED IN TIME. When
Danville once oonlrols Montour county it
will be too late to offer resistance to the plot.
It will be seen by the above table that
more than half the votes which the poor
house project received came from the two
townships which included Danville and laid
nearest to the town. This fact alone should

The Treasury Qiestiei.
FELTY BEST and his Berwick echo {charge
a peculation of county fttnds, but without
being able to point to a single item where
the county has suffered in its account. The
reply to all this slang is short. The Com
missioners of the county are the sworn guar
dians of the public accounts, and a bold
general charge of fraud in these accounts,
ia a wholesale charge oT perjury laid to toe
Coutrty CommiMionem. Now one of the
Commissioners always has been a resident
of the lower end, and they have thus had a
man who could hare detected any unfair
ness. Even at this time, the President of
the Boatd is a resident of Anthony township)
and was this fait a candidate for Sheriff in
Montour county. If improper bills had been
presented and passed by the board, Mr. Lake
could have noticed them, and we believe
Best has never attempted to impeach the
honesty of Mr. Lake.
Again, one or two of the Auditors have
always been from the lower end, and which
of them has ever discovered an improper
charge, in the annual supervision of the
public accounts. For several years Mr. M'
Cormick was in the board of Auditors, and
he never found any bills unreasonably high.
Last year Mr. Davis of Limestone, who is to
be the Protbonotary of Montour connty, was {
one of the Auditors ; and he, under oath,
reported the annual statement of the county
finances as fair and oorrect. Would he have
done so if there had been any fraud ?
But Felty cannot understand bow it is
that every man should not be . as great a
scoundrel as himself and hence his sweep
ing denunciations of every man too honest
to become his tool. Having himself fat
tened from the public fund of the county
and state, he only laments now that he has
yet no publio treasury at Danville to plunder.
His term of office as Senator ia over, and he
can no longer vole himself an additional
dollar per day aa Speaker. After being for
years an inaaliablwleech npon the county
treasury, he had gorged himself with plun
der to the fill, and then fell off to find a
new subject in the slate treasury. As that
chance came to an end, be grew hungry a
gain, and determined 10 have a county tree
snry of hia own, where tie contit InfluehCe
all the Commissioners and all the Auditors.
Snch does be propose to find Montour coun
ty, and henoe be stands greedily licking hia
dry jaws to find the "good time coming"
whioh shall enrich him again. It is for this
that be so desperately clings to Montour
oounty, when he knows that be can never
lnore get an office in old Columbia as it was
before bis treachery dismembered it.
Beet does not tell the people that in 1839
he and his co-plunderer* secured the pas
, sage of a law leaving it to the people of the
. oounty to decide whether there tbould no'
| be a poor-house ereoted at Danville, at the
, expense of ths county. He does not tell
. how in 1836 and 1837 he tried to get new
1 public buildings erected at Danville at the
r public expense. These reminiscences are
1 unpleasant to him and be would have them

FELTY'S KEF9KMATNK FME

Felty Beat last week attempted to abuse
■ Col. Wright the Democratic candidate for
1 Congress, charging offences of years ago.
' And yet in 1848 Felty knew nothing against
- the character of Col. Wright. He had then
no word to whisper against Wright's reputa
tion, and it is only now, sinoe Felty is him.
self a candidate, that he has found an in*
. ducement to slander Col. Wright for being
too much a man to enter into any bargain
with so degraded a political hack as the in
famous Senator of Pledges. Every reflec
ting voter will at once say, if Best knew
aught against the character of Wright in 18*
48, he should have made Ms eharges then,
and not have left them grow so flat and stale
that he can find no living witness of their
truth, but must invoke the spirits of the
dead to bear him testimony. When reckless
outcast, who has prostituted til semblance of
virtue, trumps up a state charge, the dis
criminating public know enough to treat the
accusation with pro pet contempt
But perhaps Felty hae had a spiritual rev
elation lately which has taught him to regard
as ainful what he in 1848 waa willing to
consider all fair. Perhaps something like
the Rochester knocking* has been pounding
away at Felty's conscience, to awaken a
spark of sensibility, and that he is only now
raving in the horrid dreams of his morbid
and feverish mind.
What ! does he who voted for himself as
Speaker of the Senate, thus pocketing an
additional dollar of ihe people's money ev

ises—betraying his constituents-denying his
political faith—making merchandize of his
votes as a sworn officer—selling his political
friends—and betraying the political cause of
tbe people : was it reserved for this man to
turn state's evidence, and trumpet forth the
chargesjwhich have been repeatedly refu
ted?
A WOAD POLITICALLY.
Although the repeal question is at this
time of higher moment than political con
siderations, yet there are officers to be voted
for on next Tuesday whose position has no
natural or necessary connection with the re
peal issue. Upon such, generally, political
distiotinctions will be properly observed, un
less to soma slight degree, where the min
-1 ions of Felty Best are making a desperate
■tab at a portion of the Democratio ticket,
because those upon it will not come to terms
1 with the treacherous ex-Senator.
Speaking apart from our own connection
1 with the ticket, llie Democrats have nomi
nees worthy of generous support and ener
getic labors to secure their election. The
ticket is filled with the names of good men
and true, and now let the watohword be
"the ticket, tbe whole ticket and nothing
1 but the ticket." Let no man sell a single
vole, but be it for each to remember that the
right of suffrage ia the glorious of
freemen, and is that alone which distinguish
es a free American from the vassal of some
crowned robber. He who sells one vote for
another is the same aa he who sells hia vote
for money or a glass of grog, and la not fit to
exercise the elective franchise of a repub
lican citizen.
Let no man tempt you to a bate bargain
or sale of your vote; for such tricks are a
lone the contrivance of desperate ard reck
less political gamblers.

The Grand Jnij- at August Sessions 1837
dissented from this recommendation and
"PROTESTED against the erection of the

January Sessions.
And so it appears that the county was in
debt even in 1836 end 1887 ; so much, in
fact, that the Grand Jury gave this as a rea
son why new Ire proof buildings should not
be erected. One would think from Felty
Best's barking that the oounty never was in
debt when the county seat was at Danville,
Bet the records prove that it was more in
debt then, than it is now.
Felty complains too because ft re-proof
buddings were put up at Bloomsburg, while
the records prove that ho and his satteliles
meant to have put up JUST SUCH BUILD
INGS at Danville, and .altogether at tho cost
of the county.

the election and to deceive people afterward.

The people of Columbia county can nev

We thought that for about a half century at

seems are not extinct with Felly's downfall.
Mr. Bowman, the anti-repeal candidate for
member, je following in the footsteps of his
illustrious predecessoi, and has issued his
pledge. He is careful not to mention repeal,
and yet repeal u the issue. We give the twin
pledges, the counterfeit presentment of the

rfJYD-OJV THIS!
Bloomsburg, Sept. 6th, 1847.
Zb the Democratic Delegates of Columbia coun
ty, in Convention assembled :
As my name is before you for the office
of Senatoi, and as it is now the wish of all
well disposed members of the Democratic
party to lay aside local feeling and sectional
jealousy, and act in concert as members of
the party, I wish to have it fairly understood
that I am opposed to any alteration of the
removal law, or to any attempt to repeal or
arrest the operation of the laws passed by
the{ Legislature on that subject.
1 am also opposed to any division or other
dismemberment of the oounty. The friends
of removal have accomplished their wishes:
the old local question is therefore settled,
and I am opposed to the agitation of any
new one in the county.
Let ns now have regular Democratic nom
inations, giving each section of the eounty a
fair proportion of the candidates. This
course will secure union, harmony and suc
cess to the Democratic party. I pledge my-
that I will support regular nominations,
in County, State, and National Conventions:
and whether in public or private life, I will
devote my political exertions to the success
and promotion of Democratic men and mea
sures, as I have for the past twenty-seven
years. Respectfully vours,
V. BEST.
The Dnty of Democrats.
It is the plain duty of every true Demo
crat, to be steadfast in the support of regu
lar nominations. By this means alone, can
bo prove the sincerity of bis professions;
for the ascendency of Democratic principles
depends entirely upon the success of the
candidates who are selected to carry them
out. The man who, either from general
laxity of potitical[priqciple, or for every pet
ty cause of dissatisfaction with regular nom
inations of his party, suffer himself to be
persuaded into the support of opposition
candidates, is unworthy the name of Dem
ocrat, and the sooner he renounces it, the
sooner will he come out in his tine oolore.—
These truths have suggested themselves to
our mind, as furnishing an appropriate sub
ject for a few remarks in our Democratio fel
low-citizens, upon the approaching election.

"It is astonishing what things are expect

there will be danger of its breaking through

JEMMY Lotus HERDSMAN'S BONO.— Among
the soogs sung by Jenny Lind is the oelebra
led "Herdman's song," wbioh she sings in
Swedish, and which is admirably fitted to
bring out the capacities ot her voice. After
five utterances of the call for the herd "hu
ah!" accompanied by the echo, she breaks
into a laugh 80 bjarty, natural and unex
pected, that itseeics the very soul of rustic
cheerfulness ; and )ou as* with the "poor
herdsman's boy" amid sylvan landscapes
and the lowing kine. We subjoin an im
perfect English translation of this song :
Come hither, come bither,'my pretty herd;
Huah, huah. huah, huah, huah.
Come' ox and cow, and weanling brood,
And hasten to taste of the morning food.
For night with her shade creeps darken
ing on:
Ring shrill bom on the mouatain round,
And follow my cattle the welcome sonnd,
Huah, huah. huah, to grateful abundance
my flock speed ye,
Long beside where hearth-fires bum,
My love has waited my return.
' Soon, I clasp the treasure, *
In an ecstacy of pleasure,
Paradis'd upon her arm.
No care caa grieve, no ill can harm.
' GOOD SUGGESTION.— It is stated that Jenny

letters. That those disgracefully engaged
may meet the contempt they deserve, a cor
respondent suggests that the name of the
writers be handed over to the press for pub
ication, even though, as intimated, the no
toriety thus obtained would, next to Jenny 'e
aid, bo the thing most desired.
FIFTEENTH CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT.—Gov
ernor Johnston has issued his writ (or a spe

same day as the general election.
Expulsionsfrom College.—-M the Detroit U

duces considerable difficulty. Several stu
dents were expelled for belonging to them a
while since. Eight more were expelled last
week—five from the senior and three from

0* Epigram. —On hearing that Jenny
was to sing in that etabU building, the Tre
mont Temple :
In Eastern lands we are by poets told
The bolbul sings its songs in cage of gold ;
New fashions Boston folks must strive to
lam 'em.
The Persians cage their nightingales, wo
Barn 'em.
W The Price of a Hen. —One hundred and
twenty dollars has been paid for a hen in
