" Historical Facts.
It is a significant fact that the Democratic
party has always sustaind every incumbent
of the Presidential chair who has defended
tho Constitution, while the anti-Democrats
have heartily opposed all such. The
only Presidents ever elected by the anti
Democrats were Harrison, Taylor and Lin
coln. Through the pliablenessof the latter,
and the treachery of his leaders, the Demo
crats were humbugged into the support of a
. war for the" Union and consequently gave
; him their support. But like each of the
others ho died in the Presidential office,
and was succeeded by a Vice President elect
ed by the same party. In each case the
anti-Democrats quarreled with the Vice
Presidents because they would insist on

each in turn, had to throw themselves for
support on the Democratic party. Presi
dent Johnson to-day is heart and hand in
iw nir munpn nv rnp i nnsr.iriirnin an l Liu v
sympathy with the straight-out Democratic
party, and has fallen back upon their consti-
tutional platform, while many of his pre
tended admirers would have the public be
lieve differently. These are significant his
torical, facta.
Averice.
A prominent Republican declined to vote
for Judge Mercur two years since, though
he did not propose to vote for his opponent.
Some verzealous partisan urged the mat
ter strongly. No, was the reply. 44 1 em
ployed Mercur to do some business for me on
two occasions .and he bored two holes into
me. and if you elect him to Congress he
will bore holes into the Treasury." Brad
ford Argus.
He has already bored one hole into the
Treasury, with a two-inch auger, tapping
from it $2000 as additional, making his pay
$5,000. The Republican party claimed to
be the special advocates of retrenchment and
reform when they elected him, they were
going to establish economy in every depart
ment, of the government, and thus exhibit
to the Democracy the unnecessary, reckless
equandering of money which had character
ized, every Democratic administration for
the past thirty years. The people can now
see now wen tncy nave sept tneir word, or
- . 1 M . J . j
pr&cticed what they preached." The Dem
ocrata were honest, and tho Republicans
corrupt. It won't do to re-elect such men
as Judge Mercur.
Let's See.
A few individuals in this town have been
successful, through the aid of Democrats, in
securing office, and now we want to see
whether ornot, as Federal office-holder?, they
will be frank and free in the support of the
President's reconstruction policy. They must
attend Democratic meetings, they must sup
port, talk and vote for Democratic candi
dates, they must cease their abuse of Demo
crats, and take the field openly against the
Abolition disunion party. You know Lin
coln once said that, "the man who remains
silent when he hears that Administration as
sailed, 6hould be marked as an enemy," and
ycra endorsed it. So your silence will never
r do, gentlemen. You cannot deceive 44 the
Government." You must display your true
colon The President ia bound to havr his
offices filled by his friend?. If you are not
honest and sincere friends of the President
you must give place to those who are. Fall
.in, therefore, if you desire to retain the po
sitions you now hold. Give the Democracy,
, the true Union party, an open, decided and
undivided support. Do you un derstand ?
jjon t JLitce it.
It is amusing to witness the wriggling of
the Republican, of this place, to keep in
countenance the followers and true believers
of Abolition principles. The certainty of
defeat next October has become apparent to
the knowing ones and is creeping into the
masses with marvelous rapidity. The Dem
ocratic party is in a good state of discipline
and can afford to look with great complacen
cy uptfti the demoralized forces of the ene
my. Some of them die hard, and judging
from their meek but imploring faces and oc
casional religious demeanor and patriotic
sentiments, one would suppose heldirtg office
was a very good thing, and difficult to part
with. They must give way that better men
may take their places.
Tub Election m Kentucky Great
Democratic Victory iO.OOO Majority.
The result of the election in Kentucky
equals, if not surpasses, the most sanguina
ry expectations. The Democratio majority
ia the State will not be far from 40,000 1
The overwhelming Democratic victory in
Kentucky is but a prestige of what will oc
cur in all the State elections this fall. Every
where we shall see the most enormous Dem
ocratic gains and the most splendid Demo
cratic victories. As in Kentucky, the issue
will be upon the President's policy and the
restoration of the Union
General Geary, the Radical disunion
candidate for Governor, is openly committed
in favor of negro suffrage and negro equali
ty. To accomplish this, the word "white"
must be stricken from the Constitution of
Pennsylvania. Are the voters of the good
old Common wealth ready to cast their ballots
ia favor of such an issue ?
Cw Peterson's 'Bank Note Detector
came to us, a few days since, containing a
complete list of some seventy-eight Banks,
the notes of which are redeemed at par.

To Our Candidates.-
Notwithstanding tho flings, missiles, and
threats made by those writiag for tho Oblum
lian, in order to divide, distract, and in the
end, defeat the Democratic party, we ven
tore to say a few words to the Democratio
candidates. . Quite a number of worthy gei
tlemen have announced themselves as candi
dates for the Democratic nomination for the
various offices to be filled at the coming
election. All of them, in their announce
ments, pledge themselves to abide by "the
decision of the Democratic County Conven
tion." It 13 generally understood what the
full meaning of this promise to abide by 4 'the
decision of the Convention' comprehends.
It involves a man t personal honor, and he
is dishonored and disgraced if he violates
tliat pledge. It is the essence, the very life
and soul, of party organization, and must
be lived up to, under all circumstances. The
man who submits his name to a party Con
vention, with the promise to abide by its
decision, and failing to receive its nomina
tion, opposes, oria lukewarm in regard to,
the election of his successful competitor, is
treacherous at heart and docs not deserve,
in any degree, the confidenco of his fellow-
men. TVe do not believe, for a moment,
that any such person now seeks a nomina
tion at the hands of the Democracy of Co
lumbia County. If we did, we would do
right in exposing him at once. But in the
past wc have had some examples cf infidel
ity in this regard, and it is this fact that
induces us to talk in this strain. Had the
office-seekers in the Democratic party always
proved honorable and faithful, our majority
in this county would long ago have reached
two thousand votes. Let every Demo
crat frown down the effort, on the part of
those who shape and control the sentiments
of tho Columbian, to inaugurate dissen
sions and disaffection in the ranks of the
Democracy. AVcre it an out-spoken and in
dependent journal, and in full sympathy with
the Democratic party, it would be entirely
improper and injudicious for it, as it has
done, to express a preference for certain
Democratic candidates ; and it would be so
considered by every Democrat in the county.
"Were it bold, fearless, and decisive in its
opposition to Democracy, we would not fear
its poisonous and mercenary influences.
What claim has it to Democratic sympathy
and support? "Will it hoist the name and
advocate the cause of the democratic nomi
nees in the county? Will it place at its
mat-head the name of tho gallant Hiester
Clymer for Governor ? Will it, or (Joes it,
labor for the good or for the success of the
Democratio party, in any way, shape or
fashion? We have watched its course care
fully, and, we trust, impartially, and we hes
itate not in faying, NO ! to all these inter
rogatories. Without a doubt, the paper
itscjf, will support the Democratic candidate
fof Congress, no matter who he shall be, and
for which it ha3 already, or is about to, re
ceive its pay, viz : the Assessorship of this
District, and the Post Office of this place.
Nothing under tho sun but dissensions in
the Democratic party, which the Columbian
is now trying to incite and provoke, has kept
our majority from reaching two thousand in
this county. It is true, that Conventions
sometimes make mistake?? but within the
party there can be no appeal from their de
cision. Far better for those who feel ag
grieved to bide their time and appeal to sub
sequent Conventions for justice, than to take
the matter into their own hands and seek
redress by a mode which can but prove their
own political ruin. And let it be remem
bered, and we urge that it should always be
a point, to elect the most intelligent and up
right men in the several districts as delegate?
to Conventions. Such men arc not likely to
do injustice to any one, or to disobey the
voice of the people. As to the mode of
electioneering for nominations, it should be
entirely free from personalities. As but one
person can receive the nomination for the
office to which he aspires, candidates should
remember, that if nominated, it is impor
tant that they have the good will of their
defeated competitors. It is not enough that
they.have a right to their support, which is
certainly true under all circumstances, but
they should so conduct themselves in the
canvass for the nomination, that such sup
port will be cordial and whole-hearted. We
cannot afford to have any bickerings and
heart-burnings in our organization. Let the
efforts put forth by the Columlinnitcs, in
this direction, be frowned down aud cruhed
at once ; and wc say to candidates, be men,
treat each other honorably, kindly and fair
ly. It is not merely success in office-getting
that demand, these things at your hands.
The 'welfare of the country depends upon
the triumph of Democratic principles, and,
therefore, requires of you such deportment
as will contribute mofct to the success of the
Democratic party.
More Bounty.
Soldiers enlisted for not less than three
years who received only $100 bounty, are
entitled under an act of Congress of July
28th, 1866, to $ 100 additional bounty, in
case they served their term of enlistment,
or were honorably discharged before the ex
piration of their term of enlistment on ac
count of wounds received in the line of
duty.
Soldiers enlisted for two years who re
ceived only $50 bounty, are entitled under
similar circumstances to $50 additional boun
ty, and soldiers enlioted for less than two
years who were honorably discharged on ac
count of wounds received in the line of du
ty, are entitled to $50 additional bounty.
The above mentioned" bounties will be
paid to the widow, minor children or pa
rents of deceased Soldiers, in the order
named.
The bill will be found printed in full on the
first page of our paper."
Those having claims will do well by mak
ing the fact known at this office, es we have
made arrangements for the collection of the
same, which will bo made npon the most
reasonable terms and with dispatch.
A letter from Berlin, savs tho Natflnvt
Democrat, received by a gentleman in this
city, states positively, that John Wilkes
pooth who killed Lincoln, is in Berlin, play
ing an engagement at one of the theaters m
mac city, it adds, that he expresses much
surprise that there should be so much ereMt
attached in this country to the story of his
death.
".The New Mercur Organ."
Th organ of a little dissatisfied faction
ia this place, Btyled the Columbian, has the
audacity and coolness to call the Democrat
AND STAR " The New Mercur Organ," sim
ply because we refuse to support anybody
else but a true Democrat for Congress in
this District
"But VOU tliatarfl rluvl -Cni, pnn.lnct,.
htainfld with t.hA rmiltloau l.l.-l
Corrupted and tainted with a thousand vices,
You judge it straight ; a thing impossible,
To compass wonders but by hcln of devils."
We are bound to have nothing tn A
with any of these men who were Abolition
ists and our worst enemies durini? tb war.
but are now claiming fo be JOHNSON"
for office. If they have any notion of vot
ing tor and supporting our men for offipo wo
have no objections, but we do protest against
any .Democrat lending his services to elevate
that class of men to position. Thev are not
worthy of our support as Democrats and
should not receiveit Thev are wolves in
sheep s clothing : and the worst kind of
wolves at that This is our position towards
the Abolition clan of this country, calling
themselves the specia I advocates of JOHN
SON and his restoration policy. They
would make the people believe that they
have changed their opinions, politically, in
many respects, and have taken decided
grounds against the Radicals : but if vou
examine their organ closrfy and converse
with tho men holding to it, you will discov
er that this is far from being the case. If
they are honest and have taken a position
in opposition to the Radicals, there is but
one thing left for them to do, and that is to
hoist the name of Hiester Clymer, for
Governor. Dare they do it ? There can be
no middle ground for them to occupy in
this campaign.
The Educated.
Certain scribblers for our weak cotcmno.
rary down town, have a happy faculty of
boasting of their superior education and
literary character." While we detect
egotism, and desire to live and learn, we
never have, and hone we never shall. boa&t
of our literary attainments. But this we
can say: wc arc thankful for the little know!
edge wc do possess, and wo gained it by our
oicn efforts, with our oven means, and are.
therefore, unlike those who do the dirty
work of the Columbian, one of whom was
educated at the expense of a certain reli
gious society, which society, a.s we understand,
has never yet received from him any reward,
favor, or compensation. Another was
forced upon the charity and crcnerof-itv of a
kind friend, who took great pains in his in
struction and early training, until ho found
him unworthy and unavailable, when he made
a servant of him, which position he occu
pies at the present time. Even the Jews of
Old endeavored to make restitution : com
plained and labored to rid themselves of their
debt, mortgage and bondage. Will not our
opponents do as much ? While our ene
mies scoff, we will labor. Neither our work
nor education are finished. Shakesnere
says: "You talk of pride: O, that you
could turn your eyes towards the napes of
your necks, and make but an interior survey
of your good selves I O, that you could !
hat, then, Sir? by, then vou would
discover a brace of unmeritinsr, proud, vio
lent, testy follows (alias fools) as any in
Home."

ASmasiiLp.-Ou Friday mornin? last,
about 4 o ciock, a freight train on the Lack
awanna Lailroad ran into another train near
Beach Haven knocking the caboose ofhe
Litter into a thousand pieces. At the time
the caboose contained several persons, all of
whom were asleep or dozing. The concus
sion mixed them up suddenly and promis
cuously, and badly wounded several of the
parties. Captain Wm Young, r,f this place,
had Ins head severely lacerated, beside.4eing
otherwise much bruised, liichard Kelly;
also of tms place, had his arm badly injured
and one of. his feet much torn. J. Rhodes,
Conductor had a leg broken. The breaks
man also had a leg broken, and a stranger,
name unknown to u, was vc.y serously in
jured by bcimr caught between the bumpers
oi the cars. The only surprising thing is, the
parties were not all killed outright The
train that was injured was behind time, and
the Conductor of it had neglected to send
back a flagman to warn the rear train, hence
the collision. Danville Intelligencer.
SST Observe the fact not a Geary organ
in the State denies being in favor of negro
suffrage ! Geary himself does not deny the
charge ! Theirwhole cry is "Our platform
don't say anything about negro suffrage
for that ain't an issue note." It don't mat
ter what the platform says, for that can be
pitched overboard, like the Chicago platform
of 1860, even if directly against "negro suf
fragewhich it is not. But it does matter
what the Geary organs and the Geary lead
ers say. Their views and utterances consti
tute the platform and principles of the Geary
faction, and they are aU for negro suffrage
and equality. They do not and daro, not
deny tho fact.
The Kentucky Election.
Our dispatches say that Judge Duvall,
the Democratic Candidate for Clerk of the
Court of Appeals, has been elected by 20,
000 majority over his opponent, Geth Hob
son, a War Democrat. Thisirlorious result
has been achieved by the Democracy of Ken
tucky against the combined opposition of
the Radicals, the War Democrats, the Con
servative Republicans, and all the odds and
ends of Kentucky politicians. Prentice and
the Louisville Journal, Harney and the
Democrat, Dr. Breckinridge and his church,
Gen. Rosseau and his adherent's, all strove
to defeat Judge Duvall, and through himthc
old fashioned Democratic States Rights
principles which he represented in the con
test Their efforts were vain, and truth and
justice, and the principles and the Constitu
tion have signally triumphed.
Well do we remember the satisfaction
with which we published the resolutions of
the Convention which nominated J udge Du
vall, resolutions which enunciated clearly and
distinctly those great principles of free gov
ernment for which we have always contend
ed ; which boldly and defiantly denounced tho
usurpations of Congress, and earnestly sus
tained the President's efforts to preserve
the Constitution and save the Union. We
predicted then the success which has now
lcen achieved, for wc had and have undying
faith in the vitality and popularity and pow
er of the principles of the Constitution. Un
der that standard, when bravely borne, vic
tory ia always sure.
No political canvass, since tho war, has
been conducted with such zeal and earnest
ness as have lccn displayed by both parties
in uiis. insunguiMiea speakers were call
ed in from the neighboring States, and im
mense crowd.3 attended every meeting. Per
haps nothing better attests the nature of the
triumph than the fact that such well known
Peace Democrats as Pendleton, Vallanding
ham and Voorhocs, were among the princi
ple advocates, from beyond the State, of Iu
vall's election, and contributed greatly to his
success.
This election teaches many useful lessons
which oupht to be well considered by those
who arc about to attempt to organize a suc
cessful opposition to the Radical party. Chief
among tnese lessons is this: that tho people
are ready to rally again around the fla on
which shall be inscribed the principles of tho
Constitution. Under that flag every one
(whatever he may have been in the past
whether War Democrat, Repulbicnn, or
Peace Democrat,) who really desires the
restoration of the South to its place in the
Union, the reestablish incut of real peace, and
the prosperity of tho whole country, can
meet and march against tho common foe,
that vile party which is trying to subvert the
Government and to destroy our republican
institutions.
"From Orangeville."
Messrs. Editors, of the Democrat
and Star: We. would invite the atten
tion of your readers to the gentlemanly ur
banity of "Juvines," as displayed in the
closing paragraph of his lato published arti
cle "brora Orangeville," in the Columbia
County Republican, of July Jt!i, ISOfi.
The unmitigated effrontery with which he,
by implication, charges the "Ladies of Or
angeville" with hlandering the Orphans, is
only equalled by bis audacity in inviting
them to visit the "Home and see for them
selves. ' '
What richt has " Juvines" to invite the
"Ladiesof Orangeville" to visit the "Home"
when the Proprietor of that institution h.n
Torbiddcn all persons to visit the premises
without a permit, or pass trom him t And,
we are credibly informed, be has directed
his Matron, in case persons do come to the
house, to forbid them coming in, and has
forbidden the Superintendant to receive calls
at his private room.
Jerutjs "Juvines" is not aware that the
"Home' and all its employees are under a
sort of Marshal law, with plenty of Senti
nels on all the out-posts.
Tn view of this state of things the ladies
of Orangeville would respectfully decline the
very flattering invitation of "Juvines" 'till
such times as the Proprietor shall see fit to
give them a respectful admission to the
premises.
That the Ladies of Oranreville have slan
dered the "Orphans" is a base insination,
and false as it is mean, owinr its origin, prob
ably, to the very fertile and somewhat ver
dant brain cf "Juvines."
e would recommend for the mental
health of that aspiring correspondent, that
he take pmall (lose of asaf'etida on retiring
at night ; we think it would.act like a charm
on his nervous system, and so modify and
control his erratic imagination that he would
cease to publish wholesale slanders on all the
ladies in town and all the ioople in two
counties. .j l'stice.
