To tho Democracy of Columbia
County.
Tins is tliu first unmoor of a cam
paign paper, to bo issued onco a week
until after tho election. Having onco
had some cporlonco in conducting a
Democratic newspaper, I liavo conclu
ded that 1 may bo usomlly employed
in editing this one. In some respects it
is with pleasuro that I engage in the
enterprise j for I feel that I am writing
to familiar Mends. The most of you I
have frequently mot at speaking phi'
cos in this county, and can realize how
you will again, as of old, make the
welkin ring witli your hearty cheers for
the "glorious Democratic party," "the
ticket, tho whole ticket, and nothing
but tho ticket." Circumstances seem
to render this enterprise necessary. A
sharp and giddy crisis has unexpectedly
presented itself. On the evo of an im
portnnt election, when our nominations
were all made, our ticket completely
formed, and tho Democratic army mar
dialling for the conflict, wo woke up in
the morning and found that wo were
without an organ at the county seat
Tho conductors of tho Democratic
newspaper at Woomsburg had con
spired with other to sell us out. They
tako down tho name of Captain Thom
as Chalfant, our regular nomineo for
Representative, and substitute that of
Ij. L. Tato, a volunteer, in its stead, for
tho support of tho Democratic party.
And thoy not only refuse to support
the whole ticket themselves, but have
refused to be hired to print tills cam
paign paper for such a purpose ; and
lienco wo are compelled to get the me
chanical work for it done by contract at
another office. Under tho eireunistau
ces wo throw this sheet before the pub
lic with a clear mind, and shall strike
boldly for tho right. Wo supply tho
placo of thoso who have proved false to
duty, and call upon the Democracy to
stand with u.i in the battle.
E. II. Littm;.
Contral Managomont.
Tur.KE has been no Central Directory
to manage and manipulate nomination
in this county heretofore, or at least has
not been for a. long time. The men of
the townships have exercised their freo
judgment. Their opinions and friend
ships have constituted the rule of their
action, and what a majority of them
determined upon was carried out by
county conventions. Thus dissontiou
and division were prevented. Volun
teer candidates appeared upon tho scene
very seldom; party organization wits
preserved, and strength and victory
wcro secured. Now the harmony, pow
er, and successor our pnrty depend upon
tho continuance of this order of things,
Tho people of tho county must make
nominations in a fair and regular man
ner, without tho Interference of politi
dans at the county peat, who can only
Interfere to pervert tho system of nom
ination into an instrument of great mis
chief and ovil.
Tho ambition and selfishness of some
central clique in a county is tho com
moil cause of party division, and is to
bo guarded against constantly by all
good mon who are concerned in party
nominations. Tho existing disturbance
in this comity upon the Representative
question arises from a disregard of these
views. A few men at the county seat,
most of thorn lnoxporienced in political
affairs, huvoundortakontorun tho pnrty
machlno and to direct tho course of
nominations in the county, and a very
natural result lias followed. Dissatisfied
with tho decision made by regular con
ventions and Conferee, they Jiavo set
up n candldatoof their own, and in sui
porting him proposo to Indulge all tho
bad feelings and disappointments which
ranklo in heir breasts. And in carry
ing out this schcino of disorganization,
xelllshness, and passion, seo to what nb
mirdlties and folllos thoy descend ! Ono
of tho rules of tho party in this. county,
regularly adopted and now in force, is,
" That all nominations of candidates
bhall bo in county convention." And
yet thoy proposo to pro.wnt a candidate
lor Representative without tho action
of any conventional all, mid in flat con
tempt of pnrty law.
Again, Conferees nro appointed, as
their very unnio shows, for conmiltatlor,,
and they havo no power to act except
when met together where views may bo
interchanged and tho subject of consul
tation duly considered. Yet our Cen
tral Directory seem to think that tho
Conferees of ono county of the district
can recommend a candidate, without1
any meeting or consultation whatever, I
by merely signing papers separately at
their homos, brought thein by indus
trious agent' of a wTnihbbo candidate.
Finally, the powers of a eoiivullon
or of Conferees duly appointed may bo
usurped, according to their opinion, by
a standing committee appointed for
very different purpose, and having
nothing to do with any question of
nomination. Hut hero again there Is to
bo no meeting of tho Committee, al
though they can only act regularly and
intelligently when met together.
Iii our present easo wo havo seen tho
names of citizens, gathered up by pri
vate solicitation, paraded In tho press
as tho volco of the people. Of course
in such an unauthorized proceeding wo
niut expect that more or less of decep
tion will bo prneli.-cd, and that men
who sign will begWHsly deceived j a fact
which Is clearly shown by tho state
ments which we publish In our present
nu in her.
Why was not a Convention tilled or
tho old one re-ussoniblod ? Why was
there no Conferee meeting when new
action was to bo taken? Why was not
tho Standing Coinniltteebroughttogeth
er when their voice was to bo Invoked In
favor of a volunteer candidate'. And
why wero not the people assembled in
somo public meeting where dK-usslon
could tako place, and both sides be heard
on the question of bolting tho regular
nomination V Not ouu of these thing.-,
wero done, because in none of these ways
could the intended ndsehlol get an en
dorsenient to give it respectability.
Wo eo then, In all this, how bad a
system central management is. To
carry out Its dodgus It mast resort to
intrigue, deception, and falsehood, and
depart from all opun and fair modes of
proceeding. "Wo prefer county manage
ment to central dictation, and think
that a town which has already three
candidates upon the ticket ought not to
ask a fourth ono in dellanco of all party
law-sand usages. Tho whole county acts
in n convention, and 11 is wise that such
body alone, or Conferees selected by it
(acting with other Conferees of the
district), should make all tho nomina
tions of tho party.
disorganl.itlon and treachery, In tho
perfect assuranco that whenever a e.indl
dale of Hits county shall l assailed and
struck at hi their county, they will
stand by in and by our common cause
with equal fidelity and courage.
A Reply.
I.v another arlii'lo we have stated the
history of Senatorial nominations in
our Senatorial District, ever since the
erection of Montour County, from
which it plainly appears that thcro is
not much reason for grumbling over
Mr Jackson's nomination on the ground
of ids location in the district.
Hut Colonel Tato is grumbling and
complaining on this subject in tho iiolt
er's organ the Democrat and Kar
ma wo recur again to the subject for
that reason. lie says:
Nine years mro M. F. .Wfcvm mv.
ried Columbia Countv as the, I)i
iu Candidate for .State Senator. Tho
Montour Conferees dMerifnil him I
ference.
Nothing of the kind happened nine
years ago. Six years ago Mr.. Jackson
was a candidato heforo the District Con
ference, when, after a long contest, one of
mo loniorees from this countv voted
for Mr. Keller, and nominated him.
In fact, the nomination was determined
by a vote from this county. Ho says

Colonel Freezo was named by this
county for Senator eitild years ago in
stead of six, and Keller, of Snyder
County, was nominated Instead of him
by votes from Snyder and Northum
norland as well as Montour. That Colo
nel Freeze did not think his failure to bo
nominated then a good rea-on for a boll
Is well known, and if ho was satisfied
wo do not seo why Colonel Tato should
grumble.
Tho bolting Colonel passes over the
fact that in 1857 tho Montour Conferees
voted with Columbia County in Con-
lerence, and thus secured tho nomina
tion of .Mr. Duckalow, of this county,
for a third term. "We know no reason
for Ids omitting this fact, except that
stating it would tell strongly against
him. lie says again:
Three, years ago tho undersigned
tho bolting Colonel himself had the
imnnwioiMrecommondatioii of Colum
bia County fur State Senator, and Mon
tour voted against him in Conference.
Observe, this was only a recommenda
ttonima not a nomination by our con voli
tion. In fact, tho Colonel could not get a
nomination or instructions to Conferees,
and therefore took ablniplo compliment
in tho form of a recommendation. No
body expected him to bo nominated by
the Conference, and few desired it.
Tho Colonel says, further, that ho
"was unanimously nominated by tho
Democracy of Columbia County for
Htuto Senator" this year. Ho was nomi
nated in our Convention by a vote of
twenty-six to tweuty-four, and ono half
or more of tho delegates voting for him
had boon selected by tho people in favor
of another candidate.
"We havo thiisgono over tho "series
of outrages perpetrated upon tho rights
of tho confiding and honest peoplo of
Columbia County," stated by the Don
er's candidato for Assembly, and dis
miss them as unworthy of further no
tico. The Colonel's complaints ought to

A Radical Mooting tit tho Court House
'I'm: negro sull'ragaiils hold a political
meeting In tho Court I louse on Tuesday
night, addressed by U. Mercur, their
candidate for Congress, and the llet
Laiulon. Tho principal point of Jler
Landon'slinrangtio was, negro equality;
In Illustration ol which, ho told an an
ecdote of a beautiful white lady mid her
very black n egro husband, stopping at
a tavern, and the landlord separating
him Irom her room, and tho dltllculty
they both had In convincing him that
they wero husband and wife; until
filially the MciViviMvhtlolady told him
that she had done bettor than her more
beautiful sister, who had married a Cop-
por-Joliiisou-Democrat. (Holstorous ap
plause by the negro stiflragants.) The
principal point of U. Moreur's speech
was, negro sutlVage: and ho boasted
that hu had voted for negro suffrage In
the District of Columbia. The reason
he gave was, that there were negroes In
tho District of Columbia who wero bet
tor educated than any man in his audi
onco, and possessed of more property.
(.Tumultuous cheering.) The Hollers'
organ does not refer to such local news
since they are to bo so friendly and in
timato with Doctor John, It might
interfere with their nlco little arrange
ment of selling tho Democrat iu party
Into tho support of L. L. Tate, a volun
teer, who hopes to bo elected bv the
Dear Republicans.
Absurd.
LKVr L. Tati: talks in tho Bolters'
organ of being tho choice of Columbia
County. Everyman who knows miv
thing of the complexion of tho Into
County Convention knows better. Mr
Talo,after travelling the county for three
mouths soliciting tho nomination for
State Senator, came into thoConventiou
tho woake.-t of the three candidates, anil
was nominated In consequence of antag
onism between other candidates and not
on account of ids own strength.
To hear a man complaining over tho
county, who, in a three month's cam
paign, could carry but six townships, is
utterly absurd ; and the absurdity is
heightened by his claim to bo the choice
of the Democratic J'arty for Assembly,
for which ho was noverovon named be
fore tho people.
Our Motto.
Tin: motto at the head of this paper
is as old as tho party and freo elections.
Tho moment a man renounces fealty to
party usages, that moment he censes to
boamember oftho party. The party has
claims upon its members, and ono of Its
claims is submission to its acts and alleg
iance to its authority. Tho man who
is not for us is against us ; and no man
can have the good or tho success of the
party at heart, who bolts its nomina
tions, and runs as a volunteorugainst its
regular ticket.
Since the conventions and conferences
wero over, many men havo hoard Levi
L. Tale say that ho would support the
ticket ; what new light has dawned on
him bince, ho may bo able to explain
and tho peoplo would like to know the
motives ol his actions. Tho reputation
and character of a lifetime havo been
by him foolishly frittered awav.

Wi: had prepared for this number of

which Columbia and Montour Counties
havo composed a part. This article,
unfortunately, lias been mislaid and wo

For the present, v.- will merely say,
that in our Senatorial District," since
Montour Comity Mas erected, Colum
bia has had the Senator seven years,
Luzerne one year, Northumberland six
years, and Snyder two years. Neither
Montour nor Sullivan have had a Sen
tor since they wero erected into conn

Tho Supromo Court.
Till! history of the Supremo Court of
the United Slides may be divided Into
four periods. Tho first, which wo may
call the original or formative period, ex
tends from 1"K!) to tho accession of
Chlef-.lustlco Marshall, and Includes the
terms of tho two Ch!of-.l unices Jay and
Ellsworth. The original members wero
Jay, of New York ; ltutledge, of South
Carolina; Cashing, of Massachusetts ;
WINon, of Pennsylvania; lllalr, or
Virginia, uml Harrison, or Maryland.
Cashing was the only one who remained
on the llenchat the close or John Ad
ams's administration. Judge Iredell
cainoouthc Ilench In 1"!)0, T. Johnson
In 17!)l, Patterson In 17:i, Ellsworth in
1700, S. Chase Iu 17!)(1, It. Washington
In 17113, and Moore in I7IH). All hut
the last two wore appointed by Wash
ington. The second period begins with ISM,
simultaneously with the political revo
lution which lirought Mr. Jell'er.son to
the Presidency, and embraces nearly
tho whole term of Chief-Justice Mar
shall. Ho was appointed, Indeed, by
the first Adams, just as the latter was
going out of olllce, and his life extend
ed several years into ("ieneral Jackson's
term ; but tho unity of character oftho
court may bo regarded as ending In
ISi!!). Tho Judges whom Marshall
found as his associates wero Cashing,
Paterson of New Jersey, Chase or Mary
land, Washington of Virginia, and
Moore of North Carolina. Their places
were supplied by W. Johnson in ISO I,
Livingston In lsu5, Duval and Story Iu
ISI 1, Thompson in l:il. A seventh
Judge, Todd of Kentucky, was added
by act of Congress in 1-SII7, who wassuc
ceeded by Trimble in IH2.H, From 1S01
four oT the six Judges wero oT tho slavo
States, and from ISO" the slavo Stale
had five or seven an ample guaranty
for the rights, interests, and will of that
favored section.
Tho third period begins with Jack
son's administration, during which the
prrt-oiiiie of the court was almost en
tirely changed. Of his appointment
were M'Lean, of Ohio, In lH-'.; Raid
win, of I'ennsylvania, in ISliO ; Wayne
oi Georgia, m 1S:)0; Harbour, of Vlr
ginia, nnd Taney, Chief-Justice, in ls:(i
a large majority of tho court. Uytho
siib-titiitlou of two Northern for tw
Southern judges, the South retained
bare majority, in tho preponderance of
the Chief-Justice, Two Judges were ad
ded by act of Congress lu ls:J7 Catron
of Tennessee and M'Kinley of Alabam:
making the whole court consist of
nine judges. Mr. Wayno is the onlv
one oftho Jackson court now remain
lug on the liench. Vacancies were sup
plied by Daniel In lsll, Nelson and
Woodbury iu IKIO, (Jrier in 1NI0, Curt!
m 1S01, Cnnipbell in is.-,:), and Clifford
in is-OS, but those made no change iu
the constitution and character of tho
court, down to the inauguration of Presi
dent Lincoln In lsill. This closes the
third period, although Chief-Justice
'laney presided until !siil.
The fourth period begins with tho ad
ministration of President Lincoln, who
appointed Swnyno or Ohio, Miller of
Iowa, nnd Davis of Illinois, in isi
Field of California in ls(i:i; and Chase
ol Ohio, Chief-Justice, in ISiil again a
majority ol the court appointed bv one
man. The history of tho Cluto Court
Is yet to be written.
