"Cnion Candidates.''
MA man may be known by the company
he keeps," is an adage as true in politics a
in morals. What then are the men who
wtre nominees on the Republican Ticket t
They were once Democrats, bnt in accept
ing nominations from the black Republi
cans, under the flimsey pretext, and trans,
parent cheat of being Union candidates,
and thus placing themselves in opposition
to and rooning against the regular Demo
cratic candidates, were they not endeavor
ing tod-eceire their former political friends,
ad iu attempting to seduce them to vote
for tbera, canse tbem to assist in defeating
the nomioees of their own party ! Sorely,
no honest, simon pore Democrat would be
guilty of snch gross inconsistency and in
justice, and therefore, we -are' obliged to
judge their politics by the company they
keep. Besides, the:r is no regolarly organ
ized Union party. The Democratic organ
ization being diMinct and complete, what
is called the Union Party, is a miserable at
tempt of the Black Republicans to change
tlreir name aga;n. They are endeavoring
to slongh off their rotten abolition let-the
Union-slide bide, anJ like the ass in the
fable clothed in a lion's skin, endeavor to
oray luemseives mm iiuuve as itc ueiiumo
vide aw ike Union save rs. But unfortunate
ly for the hypocrites, there's "a nigger in
the fence" yet.according to Fremont's proc
lamation, and leading Abolition Journals,
and those Union Democra-s who "don't see
it." are mere office seekers, sacrificing pa
triotism and principle for the favors of ab-olition-black-republicanism.
Democrats of
Columbia, stand ever true to yourselves, to
jonr candidates, to your party, to your
principles, and let the Union of eneh Dem
ocrats as Lazarus, Stiles, Groul, Snyder,
Monroe, and Ikeler to Black Republicanism
did.
The Election,
The returns of the election are not suffi
cient to de'ermine the political complexion
cl the Legislature ; but it is certain that the
Democrats have gained largely, and possibly
tweeted a majority to the House of Repre
sentatives. We have never known an elec
Tinn of wh eh it was so difficult to obtain
the returns. The Democrats have eained
Sena'or in Philadelphia, one in Schuyl
kill, and, in all probability, one in Mont
gomery and one in Bucks. The enrrent of
the vote throughout the State is decidedly in
livor of the Democratic party, and indicates
hat it is destined to control the politics
of this State in the future.
Lewis Appieman, Superintendent of the
Common Schorls of Columbia county, died
at his residence, in Light Street, on Monday
he 7th in?t.r aged about thirty ye'ars. His
1i.ease was fever of the bilious form. He
hal acted in the capacity of superintendent
a little over a year, and proved a most ef
ficient officer. In him the cause of educa
tion has lost an ardent and faithful suppor
ter. He leaves a large circle of friends and
family connections besides a young and
affectionate wife to mourn bis departure.
Hid death causes a vacancy to exist in the
office of School Superintendent of this
county, which will shortly be filled through
appointment made by the State Saperinten
dent. A good roan should immediately be
elected for ibe position, as the time is close
t hand when preparations shou'd be made
for the opening of our Fall and Winter
Schools. There is no time to spare.
Fob several days after the election the
Republican papers of Philadelphia insisted
that the volunteers from that city encamped
near Washington, had given a large majori
ty for the "People' ticket" mild desig
nation used in that'locality for the Repub
lican ticket" which was hoped would
comfort, the Republican ticket. As the
returns - from the camps will not be
opened until November, we will not know
positively who has been e'ected sheriff until
that time but it is believed that Mr. Ew
ing's majority is over 1,500, and the majori
ty against him in the city being under two
hcudred, that he is elected sheriff by a
hai.disome majority. This supposition is
strengthened by the dispatches from Wash'
icg'.on ruMibed in the Republican papers
of Philadelphia, Hating that with "rare ex
ceptions' the election in the camps was
a farce, and not a free expression of the
will of the people..
Democratic Womah. In the township of
S , county of L , and State of
reuitsylvania, resides a lady who carries on
a mercantile business, and who does as
much, if not more, for the cause of democ

Ukn in theelecfloas by her, we will cite
little circumstance that occurred in her

tickets had been placed in the hands of a
person to carry to the election district, and
the person being rather lukewarm in the

The Volunteer "vote of Columbia, Mon
tour and Sullivan has not been announced.
We learn that the vote has been received
but what effect it will have on the vote of
these counties as now stand, we are net
informed On the 11th of November the
vote will be officially announced through
out this District as well as the whole Stale
Honest old Berks Out Judge.
We not only rejoice at the success of the
whole Democratic ticket in Berks, over the
fusion combination, but especially that
Warren J. Woodward is elected Judge.
A man of powerful and brilliant intellect,
one of the most learned lawyers in the State
who has already proved himself foremost
amongst our President Judges, and of the
most unquestionable integrity, we think
there was scarcely a prominent rascal in
the State who did not oppose him. We
congratulate all honest men, and particularly
the hones: people of Berks, upon this hap
py result Clinton Democrat.
Theleeiion of Mr. Woodward to the
Judgeship in Berks, willprobably make it
necessary for the Governer to appoint some
person to fill the vacancy in this district.
The popular feeling seems to point to
William Elwcll, Esq., a prominent and
well known lawyer of Towamla.as the man
best fitted for the position Whether he will
accept we do not know, but we understand
that he has been solicited to fill the place
by a number or our citizens. We say let
him be appointed. Salljotn Democat.
The Hos. Charles Sumner, who has
scarcely been heard of since this war broke
out fighting not being in his line addres
sed the Massachusetts Republican Conven
tion the other day, his subject being the bar
barism of slavery. He took the gr und that
the overthrow of slavery will at once make
an end of the war and that not to bring the
war directly to bear upon slavery is to
squander life and treasure in avain masque
ride ol battle, which can have no practical
result. Charles had better keep himself
dark. This Nation is engaged in a struggle
for the preservation ol the Union under the
Constitution, guaranteeing to each State the
right to regulate its own domestic affairs in
its own way. Congress has proclaimed that
the war is not waged for purposes of emanci
pation; and the President has publicly re
buked Gen. Fremont for exceeding the pow
ers vested it him by the Government.
These Abolition agitators, who have contrib
nted in no small degree to plunge the coun
try into its present difficulties, are as great
public enemies as the Southern rebels ; and
when the Nation subdues the Utter, they
a-ill have a long acc ount to eettle with Mr.
Charles Sumner and his disloyal crew of in
csndiaries. Pali ioi and Union.
Oar Representatives.
Our candidats for the Legislature, George
S Tutton Esq., and Col. Levi L. Tate, are
elected in this district by handsome majori
ties. Columbia, Montour and Sullivan
Counties, are entitled to our gratitude for
coming to the rescue and thus saving us
from what, otherwise, would have been a
most humiliating defeat We promise to
return the favor with interest, should they
ever be placed in circumstances similar to
ours. '
They have elected their County tickets
by handsome majorties. while we have lost
onrs. We predict that our next general elec
tion, Wyoming will redeem herself and
again take her place among the Democratic
Counties of our good old Common weahh
N B. Democrat.
Agricultural Fair.
The Colombia County Agricultural, Hor
ticultural and Mechanical Association, gave
an exhibition opon their Fair Grounds, at
this place, on Thursday, Friday and Satur
day last. It was well attended, and con
sidered by many, a perfect success. The
representation of articles was rather good,
although not so gre&t a variety as was at
onr Fair last Fall. The receips of this
Fair does not, we are told, fall much short
of those of last Fall probably two hundred
dollars. Upon the whole the Fair passed
off very smoothly and every body seeme
to be satisfied. The Premiums as awarded
will appear in onr next. We were not
able to give them in this weeks paper, and
further they were not altogether prepared
for the press in lime.

racing the Music.
It is a proverb, old almost a onr lan
guaize, that, ,they who dance must pay the
piper.' Our government is learning this
truth somewhat to its sorrow. Secret ry
Cameron we are told, is quite dismayed to
find that the cost of music, by the regimen
tal 'bands, is running up at a rate that will
amount to millions ol dollars per annum.
To appreciate the fearful expense fully, it
may be said that what is now paying for
'brass bands,' that blow so mightily in dress
parades and in 'serenading General, '
would have supported the Navy of "he Un
ited Stales, as it stood a few 'years since.
Music is a very good thing in it way,
but we cannot but believe that we are hav
ing 'too much good thina ' There has been
far more swelling of cheeks and obstreper
ation of brazen-throated trumpets than is
profitable. Jericho surrendered to the blast
ol a ram s
horn. But our rebels do not yield
lo such pe'soasions. Nor should we expect
them lo. Shakespeare knew the powerless-ne-s
of music over such. In bis celebrated
lines, he tells ns that:
"He that hath no music in hi soul.
And i no moved by concord of sweet somds
Is fit for treasons, stratagems and spoils "
We have found the rebels exactly of this
sort. We have "piped," but they have not
'danced.' They hear our notes, but they
utterly refuse to 'keep step to the mnsic of
the Union.' Therefore, let us change
Draw oot the diapason, and let the ordi

A Judge inn "Fix."
An awkward affair, which once ocenrred
to one of the judges on the Western Circuit
has been the subject of much mirth. It ap
pears that the pious judicial having finished
his labors, and having cast off his forensic
wig at his lodgings, had returned into the
next room to wait lor his brother judge,
whom he was about to escort to some of
the local arif tocracy to dinner. The female
servant of the houseihad entered the bed
chamber by a side door, and, not knowing
that the judge was in the next room, in a
frolic arrayed herself in the judge' wig.
Just the moment when the fair Topsy was
admiring herself in the looking glass, the
judge unexpectedly entered the room ; and
poor Topsy, catching a sight of the stern
face looking over his shoulder, in the
glass, was so alarmed that she fainted, and
would have fallen to the floor, ii the learned
judge, impelled by "humanity, had not
caught Ler in his arms. At this moment
his brother j'idge arrived, and on opening
the dressing-room door, with a view to see
if he was ready, discovered his learned
brother with the fainting maid in his arms.
Not wishing to interrupt what he thought
to be an armour, he quickly attempted to
withdraw, when liis brother judge vocifer
ated, "For heaveri's sake, stop, and hear
this matter expianed." 'Never mind, my
dear brother, the-inatter explains itself,"
and he lelt his learned brother to recover
the fainting maid as he could.
Mernsa or Return Jcdgm By the Act
of Assembly, passed in 1839, the Return

Tuesday of November next, for the purpose
of receiving returns of election from the

THE WAR NEWS.
From Dalits of the 19'A and 2 lf.
The Position of Gen. flkClellan.
Now thai it is a patent fact that the Poto
mac is effectually blockaded, it is to be
hoped that those newspapers and political
leaders, who have been asserting that Maj.
General McCIellan has had a sufficient force
in his military district, atd who have suc
ceeded in subtracting from this force from
fifteen to twenty thousand men, will realize
the importance of maintaining snch an army
on the banks of the Potomac as will be en
abled to break this blockade Even if the
enemy should still farther recede in one
direction, they simply strengthen their right
wing, which continues to reel upon the Po
tomac river. We have all along contended
ttiat if Major General McCIellan is left to
lake his own course, without being inter
rupted or embarrassed by rivals in miliiary
and in political life, he will complete the
conquest of rebellion in this quarter, and
roll back the tide opon Richmond.
THE OTHKR -SIDE OF THE POTOMAC
The storm on the other side of the Poto

for awhile poured down in torrents, driving

ARRIVAL OF VESSELS
Eleven vessels came op this evening with

delay, as the authorities are taking active
measures to secure the safety of all vessels
passing up the river.

The Result in the Mate.
One year ago the Republican party, hoist
ing th banner of "good 'rimes," and inscri
bing thereon the tempting motto that "The
Election of the Republican Ticket, would
bring peace and prosperity to our people,
and better wages to tire laborer and the
mechanic," triumphed in Pennsylvania by
a majority of 70,000. The masse -of thej
people had lived so long under a good and
prosperous government that they became
vain, and as a -consequent -evrl -discontented.
It had been en long since they had
experienced adversity thai they were un
able to feel the truth of their prosperity :
and desired "a change," for the purpose of
bettering their already too prosperons con
dition. They voted lor th prosperity party,
and carried everything before them, Gov
ernor, Legislature, President, and Congress,
were all, ' after their own hearts." and the
deluded people folded their hands compla
cently in confident expec ation of ' better
times."
But one year of the new state of thine
has expired, and the people are again call
ed upon to declare their will at the ballot-
box. The election has pa-sed, the result is
announced, and where, oh, where is your
70,000 Republican majority ? It hi smelt
ed away like the mornings' mist before
the rising sun Why this sudden change?
How does it happen that, in a Bingle year,
our legislature is cha-iged from a two third
Republican majority, to a Democratic ma
jority, powerful enough to control the two
hou-es on joint ballot 1 When the cam
paign opened it was proclaimed that De
mocracy was dead, and ihat those who op
posed the Republicans were simply seces
sionists, During the whole of the contest
this was the "burthen of their song." The
Democratic party, as an organization, was
proscribed and warred upon as though it
were an alien enemy. And yet the people
have calmly, quietly, but emphatically de
clared their repudiation of the Republican
part)' and its visionary heresies. The result
in the State indicates a Democratic majority
4U,UUUi a cnange oi oo.uuu vo:es in

1 his glorius result has been achieved by
no extraordinary exertions on the part of
the Democratic party. It was not done by
immense meetings or great processions
with banners flying and music playing.
Our drums, our fifes, and our flags and
torches have long nir.ee been confircated.
and rendered up a sacrifice upon the alter
reared at Chicago

These were not the in
strument of our euccos ; but the justice of
our cause and the truth of our principles,
have at last impressed '.hemelv?s upon the
minds of the people. They are now con
vinced, by a dearly bought experience, that
their only hope of saving our distracted
couutry, and bringing peace and properiiy
to our borders, rests in the conservative
principles of democracy. One more link
in the chain of the Union has been caught
up. One more effort of ihe Democracy, and
the Government will be ours, and then our
