Democrats, Atlenlion.
Our Democratic friends should bear in
mind that election day will be here on next
Tuesday, the 1 ith day of October; and they
should exert themselves to make that day a
glorious one for lite Democracy. We shall
not lull them into a dangerous security by
holding out to them hopes of an easy victo
ty, nor shall we, by any means, dispirit
them by an intimation that success is be
yond their reach. What we shall say to
them, and what we trust they will give heed
to, is this : that a vigorous effort on their
part will eventuate in the election of the
Democratic ticket by ar. increased majority,
whilst a failure to make the right kind ol
exertions may possibly result in its defeat.
The contest in this county last fall was
pretty close. With a few exceptions our
candidates were run closer than they have
I een for several years, at least since Know- j
Nolhingism raged. But there were numer
ous causes which brought about that result.
We fear there has been too much supinencsa
nmongst the Democracy and not enough
activity to make our elections more victori
ous. So it may be again, but we trust not;
and it is for us to say, whether we prefer
the result that is produced by supineness or
the one that is produced by activity. Which
ever we make choice ol we can have. It
is in the power of the Democracy to make
choice and we hope lo see it exercised on
next Tuesday, at the polls.
We cannot be wrong in assuring that our
friends ttesire to elect their ticket. Apart
trom political considerations, tliey must wish
lor the support of their candidates. Those
candidates are among the very worthiest
men in the county. Not a word has been
r-aid against them, because their character
is above reproach and their whole life be
yond suspicion. If they were men of
doubtful reputation, our friends could not be
censured for giving them a luke warm snp
port; but their character and qualifications
being all that the most exacting could re
quire, there is a strong obligation resting on
every member of our party to exert himself
in their behalf. This the party has long
fostered up in its mind to do.
The great body of the Democrats of Col
umbia county always come out to the polls.
There are some, however, who are apt to
► tray away from ordinary elections. They
think that one vote is not of much consequen
ce. There is just where they are mistaken
We beg leave to remind them that our whole
vote ol over two thousand is made up by
dropping in just one vote at a time ; and if
we cast our whole vote—if our friends just
drop in one vote at a time till we get in our
whole two thousand and over—ice shall elect
every man on our ticket. Let this be borne in
mind, and let every Democrat come out
and vote. Thus perlorm a duly devolving
upon every good citizen of the Common
wealth.
Only five Democrats staying away from
the polls in each election district, would be
a loss of one hundred and twenty votes in
the county—enough to turn the scale if the
election was closely contested. We may
triumph by about eight hundred, or\re may
be as low as six, at this election.
for a glorious victory, and we know we can
achieve it; but we want onr friends not to
forget the only way to make it sure. That
way is to get out all our votes. Will our ac
tive friends in all the districts see to it ? A
few men in each lownshipcould accomplish
wonders by going around and stirring out
our voters. Go and do it.
THE KNICKERBOCKER, OR NEW YORK MAG
AZINE is no small publication ; it is every
thing it pretends to be —a valuable work.—
It has been received at this office for Octo
ber, and takes a prominent place among
other publications in our library. Its read
ing is pretty generally accompanied by very
appropriate engravings. "Stories and Pic
tures of the Hudson" is a good article—in
the present number—and will be continued
in the next number, and perhaps longer.—
"The Romance ol a Poor Young Man" is
still beii.g continued. This is an excellent
story, and has been going through several
former numbers. The older, the better it
becomes. Subscribe for Knick, the good old
work. It is in its fifty-fourth volume. Pub
lished by John A. Gray, New York.
A MAN named Jackson walked one hun
dred and fifteen hours, without rest or sleep,
at Wllliamsport week before last. He com
menced walking, in the parlors at the Eagle
Hotel, on Tuesday morning at 4 o'clock,
and continued walking until Saturday night
at 11 o'clock. The Gaxette says he did not
appear very much fatigued for one having
traveled lor so long a time withont rest.
Uakts and Jackson—Masters.
The Democratic voters of this Represen
tative District are asked to support tho two
first gentlemen above named, at the coming
election, for Assembly. These men have
served the people in a satisfactory manner;
therefore why no", give tlvem your undivided
support ? They have proved themselves
honest, and made efficient members, —are
just the men for the station we would ask
you to again elect them to. We can rely
upon these men.—the interests ol our coun
ty will be, as it has been, perfectly safe in
their hands.
The Opposition would have you believe
different were it in their power to do so.—
You are told by the Opposition Press that
our members last winter were 'caught nap
ping" when the interests of our District
were in danger. This is. of course, mere
assertion, and it will not do. They fail to
point out any neglect of duty by these men.
They cannot do it. These men attended lo
the interests of their constituents well, and
the people know it. They were sent lo
Harrisburg for that purpose,—not to make
business and create disturbances, but to
amicably adjust am! perform whatever bus
iness their constituents had of a beneficial
nature for them to do.
Wo are also told that JUDUF. OAKES "has
always been a politician," ami on the other
hand, that James Masters, the Republican's
pet candidate, has not. This, if anything,
should have a tendency to defeat Mr. Mas
ters and elect the Judge. What does the
people want with a man at Harrisburg who
has never been a politician and knows nolh
ing about politics ? Would it be expected of
him to cope successfully with other members
in the Legislative Hulls at Harrisburg'they
being all politicians. Not at all. He should
learn the trade first. It would be just like
putting a boy along wiih a lot of men and
expect from him a man's day's work. This
he would not be able to perform ; and view
ing this matter in the light that it should be,
James Musbirs is not the man for the place
he is named by the Opposition. But on the
other hand, SAMUEL OAKES and GKOHCE D.
JACKSON are just the men. Tlicy have been
fully tested, and found not deficient; there
fore why not give them your votes?
if we mistake not, and indications are
strongly in our favor, OAKES and JAIKSON
will wake up on the morning of the 12th of
October, with much larger majorities than
they received last fall No man can hesitate
a moment in making up his mind as to
which of these men he will support; OAKES
and JACKSON or Musters and Mouser. The
former you are familiar with, and know
their qualifications to be ample; while the
latter, you only know that they are taken up
by the Opposition party—you know nothing
about their fitness or honesty for this station.
There is only one choice to make here, and
that is to support OAKES and JAEKSON. These
are the facts in the case, and they cannot
be honorably repelled. Ponder these facts
well, voters, ottd act accordingly.
The Opposition Headings.
In days of yore the bemocratic pariy had
an Opposition to contend with ; and still it
is apparent that there are some people
amongst us who have opposition and arro
gant feelings toward that same parly. They
are known by many names, and never claim
one over a year or two. At present we are
entirely at a loss to know what to call litem.
Some of the anli-Demoeralic Journals run
up the head over their nominations, "Repub
lican Stale Ticket," while others have it,
'■l'copies' Stale Ticket" and " Opposition State
Ticket." We will, howsomever, call them
Opposition, thinking that the most appro
priate, as they invariably oppose every
measure and candidate supported by Dem
ocrats. They actually go against their own
interests, which the records of the past will
prove. Never was a campaign fought but
what they cried loudest lor some measure,
which, in their opinion, would be of a great
public good ; and always, when they were
placed in power, able to accomplish that
object they so much advocated, they invari
ably opposed it. Never can this parly be
relied on. They will cheat themselves
when left alone.
At this time the Opposition are most busy.
The election is drawing very nigh. They
are presenting electioneering statements,
one after another, all with a like effect—to
no purpose. It is as natural for them lo do
this as it is lor water to run down hill.—
They are compelled to trump up something
of this kind to keep up an Opposition party,
and the larger the electioneering story tho
bettor lor them, provided they can cram it
down the throats of Democrats. This is the
way they plead for place and power; they
care nothing about principles. Principles
are foreign to them.
WE WOULD direct the attention of our
readers to the advertisement in another col
umn of the real estate of ISAAC DEMOTT,
deceased, of Madison township, this county.
A farm is offered for sale containing one
hundred and fifteen acres, nearly all cleared
and in a slate of good cultivation, with good
buildings and everything calculated to be
found on a-well managed (arm. A lot of
timber land and a saw-mill properly will be
disposed of at the same time. Here will be
a chance to gel a bargain. The property is
a de-irable one and the improvements good.
Sale to commence at 10 o'clock, a m , on
Saturday, the 22d day of October, 1859.

WILLIAM SLOAN & SON, of Bloomsbnrg,
received the Premium at the Stale Fair last
week on an open buggy which they had
there on exhibition. This speaks well for
Columbia county mechanism. The wagons

Columbia County Finances.
Facts and Figures!
Our atlenlion has been directed to an ar
ticle in the last Columbia County Repubikan,
of nearly a long column in length, in which
the writer attempts to alarm and excite the
voters upon the management of "Our Coun
ty Finances !" To make out a case, as he
appears very anxious, he tries his hand at
arithmetical argument. In the last few
numbers he has been practicing upon this
mode of making capital for his man Staley,
and in his last, judging from the tone of his
article, he imagines that he has got the thing
to perfection, lie asserts, that from "the
documents," he finds the indebtedness of
the county, in 1850, when John Staley was
elected Commissioner, Ten Thousand Two
Hundied and Fifty Dollars and Seventy five
Cents. By a glance at the OFVICMI. DOCU
MENTS, we find the pecuniary affairs of the
county, in 1850, to be as follows:
Amount outstanding, §10,771.34
Exonerations & Corn's 1,077.13 —$9,694 21
Due Treasurer from Co. 1,977 16
Balance in favor of County, $7,717.05
Here we find in favor of the County Sev
en Thousand Seven Hundred and Seventeen
Dollars and Five Cents I instead of its being
in debt Ten Thousand Two Hundred and Fifty
Dollars and Seventy Jive Cents, as the writer
of the Republican would have you believe.
John Staley had this Seven Thousand and
some odd dollars as capital to work upon
when he stepped into office. This is the
truth of the matter, and the figures are here
presented to back it.
This does not appear to represent the
county as being in a "deplorable condition,"
by any means. The story of John Staley
finding the county head-over-heels in debt, '
is not true, and his turning new leaves all \
fudge. He (Staley) and the Republican will 1
have to turn several leaves before they can
make the voters of this county believe such
statements as they presett ed last week, '
which were corrupt from top to bottom.
As we have stated belore,in January 1850,
there was Seven Thousand Seven Hundred
and Seventeen Dollars and Five Cents in
favor of the county, and after John Staley
had financiered in that year, in January
1851, we find a balance in favor of the
county of only (5.911.09) Five Thousand
Nine Hundred and Eleven Dollars and Nine
Cents ! This goes to show that there was
not as much money in favor ol the county
in 1851 as there was in 1850 when Mr.
Staley took hold ol the county reins and
turci 'd that "new leaf." This Five Thou
sand Nine Hundred and Eleven Dollars and
Nine Cents was subject to exonerations and
commissions, and after taking that off would
leave only Five thousand Three Hundred and
Nineteen Dollars and Ninety nine Cents in
favor of county ; One Thousand Eight Hun
dred anil Five Dollars and Ninety-six Cents
($1,805 96) less than wher. Mr Staley went
into office. This does not look like turning
a "new leaf" immediately in favor of the
county. It is turning the leaf in the wrong
direction, according to figures, and not mere
assertion.
This same writer speaks very loudly upon
the present expenses of the county, and
compares them of 1851 with 1858, then
asks, we think for information, whether the
"legitimate business of the county warrants
this extraordinary increase of expenditure."
F'or his information we would set out some
of the necessary expenses of both years
(1851 and 1858) in tabular form, which will |
show clearly the cause of this necessary in- 1
crease of expenditure :
1851. 1858.
Bridge Contracts $ $2 263 (.0
" lie pairs, 340.21 487 70
Agr'l Society —— 100 00
Triennial Ass'mt 379.34
Penitentiary 15.48 81.18
Sheriff's Bill 150.71 553 05
County Buildings 24.19 460 41
Election Expo's 519 90 672 28
$1,050.4954,997.4683,946.97
Here it will be seen that the expenses in
1858 were considerable heavier than they
were in 1851, and the cause of it is fully
explained. The bridge contracts in 1858
were very large, while in 1851 there was
none. These expenses were necessary and
unavoidable. The Sheriffs bill and E'ection
Districts were also increased, thereby mak
ing a necessary increase ot expenditure.—
To this expense of $3,946.97, in the year of
1858, we would add the amount duo late
Treasurer,."Jacob Harris, from 1857, of
$620.00, which makes an amount of $4,566.-
97, termed as expense.
We have a few more figures to place be
fore our readers, which will explain the
condition of county affairs somewhat differ
ently than did the Republican's article. The
amount of taxes assessed from 1854 to 1858,
both years inclusive, was, $38,211.55
Am't orders issued same length
of time, 44,930 96
Am't redeemed samo time, -40,782.65
" " over assessments, 2,571.10
By this statement it will be seen that the
Eleven Hundred and Twenty Dollars and
Forty Cents which the Republtcin harped so
much upon was used entirely up by the re
deeming of orders over the issues in the
years above mentioned. This money did
not hold out, and the Jury fees and fines
aided quite materially in redeeming some
of those orders that were issued over the
assessments for the years in question, and
the county taxes received on unseated lands
have made up the baluuce. We see by the
Auditor's last Report that the county had
outstanding at the commencement of the
year 1859 the sum of $8,746 86 wherewith
to cash the $4,473 46 (in orders) unredeem
ed at the commencement of the year 1859;
this being money in the hands of the voters,
uncollected, about which the Republican
makes so much complaint.
Take the unredeemed sum from the out
standing amount of taxes and it leaves a
snug balance in favor of the County of Four
Thousand Two Hundred and Seventy Three
Dollars and Forty Cents! Thus you will
perceive there is enough to more than re
deem all the County Orders.
We do not pretend to say that this money
lies in the County Treasury, but it is due
the County, and were it collected and paid
in there would probably be no whining
about "our county finances" by the Oppo
sition journal. But, does the editor mean
to straighten up the County Commissioners i
or thrash the Tax-payere over their backs
for not squaring up their dues with the
county ? It looks very much as if he was
trying to do the latter, and then askes for
your votes to elect his man Stalcy.
You all know, very well, that for the last
year or two, money has been a scarce arti
cle, and this will account for some of our
outstanding taxes. Money is becoming a
little more plentj^llMoPW ,E > am ' ** e hope
ere long to see a difference in the pecuni
ary affairs of the county. We have a man
asking for your suffrages who will do as
much, or more, than any other man in this
office towards keeping the interests of the
county in a good condi ion. That man is
JOSEPH R. PATTON of Greenwood. Give him
your hearty support. He is the man for the
place we speak. Attend to this matter next
Tuesday and all will be well.
I'onnty Auditor.
Among the most important County offices
to be filled this fall is the office of County
Auditor. The Democratic party have nom
inated a man for that station by the name of
GEORGE M HOWELL, of Fishingcreek This
is an office of 110 little importance—one that
the people of the county are deeply inter
ested in. They should see that a fit person
be elected to that office, for no "fourth-rate"
man is capable to accurately perform the
duties pertaining to it. There are men to
be had, belonging to the Democratic party,
who possess ample qualification to perform
the.functions of this office with credit both
to themselves and the party.
In the selection of a candidate for this
very important office,to he filled at the com
ing election, we are proud to know that the
Democracy have done so well. They have
chosen GEORGE M. HOWELL, a man eminent
ly fitted for that office; and by him the in
terests of the county will be carefully looked
after. He is a man of considerable exper
ience as an accountant. There are few
better men, if any, in the county, for this
office than GEORGE M. HOWELL. He is the
man lor this post. He possesses everything
requisite to perform the duties assiduously.
No person could be elected to this office
who would more fully,qpderstand the duties
of it than this one in question. His qualifi
cations are good. He is able to calculate with
any man—a Republican not excepted—and
110 man will control him, or will he be at the
service of any set of men. Nothing short
of the interests of the whole county will he
carefully watch or look after. He is the man
the public interests want in office. Next
Tuesday, we hope the Democracy will at
tend to this important matter by electing
GEORGE M. HOWELL.
The Democracy of the Interior.
We are in receipt of the most encourag
ing accounts from all parts of the interior.—
The Democracy are everywhere active and
zealous. Nowhere is there the slightest de
spondency or any want of zeal, in meeting
all the great issues before the country, with
bold firmness. Of Pennsylvania, it is speci
ally true, that noti^fn^(rus ever, gaineefby
the evasion of any question, or a disposi
tion to compromise upon national issues,
and the Democratic masses of the interior,
while denying that they have been weak
ened by defection, manifest a confidence
and a degree of unity and self-reliance, that
is the surest guarantee of success. The
Democratic county meetings, in all parts
of the i-tate, have been uniformly well at
tended, and marked by the most unmistaka
ble evidences of harmony and good feeling
while the nominations, almost without an
exception, have been such as to command
the most harmonious and zealous support.
The Democracy of Clearfield had a very
enthusiastic county meeting, 011 Tuesday
last, the 271h ult., when able and eloquent
addresses were delivered by Hon. Wm. Big
ler, W. A. Wallace. Esq., R. L. Johnson,
Esq., of Ebensburg, and I. Test, Esq. The
Republieun says the jprofoundest attention
was paid to the remarks of the speakers,
interrupted only by the earnest and hearty
plaudits of the audience. The whole affair
was in every sense a renewal of the good
old fashioned assemblies, which have so
often been the forerunners of a glorious tri
umph of the gallant Democracy of Clear
field county. A series of admirable reso
lutions, expressive of the sense of the De
mocracy of the county, were passed, unani
mously, re-affirming the cardinal doctrines
of the National Democracy, for which the
party has so long and bravely battled
through sunshine and storm, and their un
diminished confidence in the wisdom and
patiotism of JAMES BUCHANAN, and their
hearty approbation of the public course of
Senator BIGLSK.
GREAT DISCOVER* OF OVSTERS A tre
mendously large boa of oysters, said to be
three or four miles square, was discovered,
a few days since, at Huntington, Long Is
land, by a parly of fishermen from Nor
walk, Ct. The value of the place is said to
be more than a million of dollars. A hun
dred boats or more were on Saturday busily
at work diminishing the value of this dis
covery as rapidly as hands could work.—
All kinds of implements lor the capture of
these strangers, which are said to vary in
size from large to gigantic, have been sent
from Fair Haven and the other centres of
the oyster trade.
THE TRACK upon the Fair Ground is be
ing prepared and will be complete in a few
days. A fine chance will here be offered
to sporting gentlemen to try the speed of
their animals. A half mile track is being
made. It wilj |)e .a tolerable good race
course when complied. Come and try it,
ye owners of speed.
To PREVENT Cows KICKING.—Tie a cord
or small rope'around the body of the cow,
just front of the hi pstdd under, drawing it
pretty tight, when you can go to work milk

back with the desired effect; at least such
has been the experience of some persons.

An Item for Protectionists.
The political creed of a class of persons
who act with the Opposition in this Stale
commences and ends in protection, fit
every campaign voters are implored to sus
tain the Opposition because they are in fa
vor of a protective tariff. Last fall, when
business of all kinds was stagnant, and
thousands of men were thrown out of em
ployment by the temporary suspension of
manufacturing operations, this cry in favor
of protection to American industry was used
with considerable effect against the Demo
cratic candidates. Persons out of employ
ment were impressed with the belief that
if the Opposition carried the election, in
one way or another, a protective tariff
would be enacted, and under its beneficial
influences manufactories would prosper,
money become abundant, and labor at high
wages bo in constant demand. The bait
look, for men in distress will clutch at any
hope that is presented. But how hollow
and heartless are nil these professions on
'he part of Republicans. The trick is to be
played a second time, if possible, for on all
sides we hear from the Republicans the
loudest professions in favor of a protective
tariff. Voters are again promised that if
they contribute to Republican victory,
American industry shall receive ample pro
tection when that party lake possession of
the Government. These professions are a
cheat—made to be broken. The Republi
can party is not in favor of a protective tar
iff—its victory would not be the victory of
the protective system. Ou'side of Pennsyl
vania their organs do not pretend to advo
cate a high tariff. We have, on several oc
casions, quoted from the New York Evening
Post, a leading Republican organ of great
ability and influence, to verify these alle
gations, and again commend to the espec
ial attention of protectionists the following
extracts from a late number of the same
paper. In commenting upon the remarks
made by the chairman of the Massachusetts
Republican convention in favor of protec
tion, the Post says :
''ln what copy of the Republican platform
Mr. Kellogg found the doctrine of protec
tion, we cannot imagine. It is not in our
copy, tior in any other that wc have seen,
nor could we consent for a moment to be
long to a parly which made the support of
protective tariff one of its tests of member
ship, or which even lent its influence to the
revival of the protective system. Next to
slavery, we regard the part which our Gov
ernment has taken in the mainteinance of
the protective system as the great oppro
brium of our country. From a repubic like
ours, professedly so framed as to interfere
in the least possible manner with the pur
suits of individuals, the world had a right
to expect perfect freedom of trade; and yet,
almost from the lime of Hamilton to this
day, the commerce of the country has been
encumbered with restrictions invented for
the purpose of making all other classes tri
butary to the manufacturers. The counsels
of Franklin, wisest of economists, were dis
regarded, and a system of revenue laws,
often modified, but even now essentially in
force, though in perfect discord with our
political instiutions, was borrowed for us
from the legislation of conuiries less free
than our own."
Such is the emphatic language of a lead
ing Republican organ, speaking for the Re
publican party. We quote it to show how
emphatically it repudiates protection, and
how careful it is to preserve the Republi
can from the suspicion ol favoring the fa
vorite dogma, in support of which the Re
publicans of Pennsylvania are shouting
themselves hoarse.
How coolly, 100, the Post snubs the Re
publican tariff men, and how remorselessly
it takes the wind out of their sails when it
declares that "the protective system is no
longer the question ol the day ; another has
taken its place, dividing the people into
two great parties without reference to the
views they take of restrictions 011 trade."
Here is a confession not very palpable
to those who assure the people that the Re
publican party will certainly enact a pro
tective tariff if they are only intrusted with
power. The classification of the President
among the Iriends of protection is in ludi
crous contrast with the daily asseverations
of our Republicans that he is a determined
free-trader, who takes a savage delight in
stopping mills, putting out furnace fires,
and crushing home industry :
"At present some of the most zealous
friends of free-trade are in the Republican
party, and many of the most eager advo
cates of restriction are among the support
ers of the Administration. James Buchan
an is himself a friend of protect ion, and only
at the last session of Congress endeavored
to persuade Congress to make a temporary
deficiency of revenue a pretext for retrac
ing the steps the country had taken towards
a freer system. The Whig recruits which
the Administration has lately enlisted un
der its banners are protectionists. The
Democratic party tolerates all diversities of
opinion on this question; so likewise must
the Republican party, or it will assuredly
fall in pieces."
It is about time that the Republicans
should cease asserting their claim to be
considered the exclusive friends of home
industry, or show that the Republican par
ty of the country is a tariff party, which
cannot be done. The cry of protection is
intended solely for the latitude of Pennsyl
vania, where it is supposed to be popular;
and those who use it have no idea that
they will ever be able to fulfil the promises
so freely made. If the Opposition ever suc
ceed in obtaining control of the Govern
ment, the Republicans, constituting four
fifths of that Opposition, will be elevated to
power; and we have abundant evidence
that the Republicans are not a tariff party.
The issue of protection is a humbug of the
first water.

not touch his complaint, and in the greatest
alarm he consulted a friend as to what
course he ought to adopt, when Holloway's
Ointment and I'ills, were recom me tided,
which he commenced using, at.d by perse
vering with these remetlies for a short time,
he was perfectly cured, after every other
remedy had failed.
ONF or THK HUMANITARIAN movements of
the times although little known as such,
can hardly be over estimated in its import
ance upon this well being of our widely
scattered communities. The population of
the American Slates is in many sections so
sparse, that skilful Physicians are hardly
available to them. Vast numbers of our
people are obliged to employ in sickness,
such medical relief as they can hear of
from each other, or indeed any they can get
from any quarter. Hence arises the great
consumption of Patent Medicines among us;
greater by far than in any of the old coun
tries, where skillul physicians are accessi
ble to all classes. Unprincipled men have
long availed themselves of this necessity,
to palm off their worthless nostrums, until
the word lias become synonimous with im
position and cheat. One of our leading
Chemists in the Kast, D.i. Avkii. is pursuing
a course which defeats this iniquity He
brings not only iiis own bin the best skill ol
our times to bear, (or the production of llie
best remedies which can be made These
are supplied to the world, in a convenient
form, al low prices, and the people will no
more buy poor medicines instead of good,
at the same cost, than they will bran instead
of flour. The inevitable consequence ol
this is that the vile compounds that flood
our country are discarded for those which
honestly accomplish the end in view, —
which euro. Do we over estimate i's im
portance, in believing that. this prospect of
supplanting the by-word medicines, with
those of actual worth and virlue, is bought
with immense consequence for good, to the
masses of our people.— Gazette atulVhron
