Thomas Chalfant.
Mr. Thomas Chalfant, the gentleman who,
by certain pipe-laying arrangements, was
made a candidate from this Representative
District, is out in his paper, published at
Danville, with an address to the people, in
which address he promises to explain to the
people of Columbia County, how it happened
that they were defrauded out of both the
Senator and Representative. This is "a
consummation devoutly to be wished."
The Democracy of Columbia, she being the
heaviest Democratic county in the District,
desire very much to hear this explanation.
The Standing Committeeof Columbia County
with the concurrence of the Representative
Conferees have placed Hon. Levi L. Tate
in nomination as the regular Democratic
nominee for Representative, and the Demo
cracy of the District will vote for him, not
withstanding the efforts of those who would
disorganize the parly by their pipe-laying
schemes. Let every Democrat read what is
said on loth sides of the question, and the
conclusion will be inevitable that the nomi
nation belongs to Columbia County ; and
Hon. Levi L. Tate will receive such a vote,
in rebuke of this fraud, as was never before
cast in this county. Let Mr. Chalfant and
his friends go on with their explanations.
CRrmram,DiaiocRAist That Judge
Woodward was swindled out of the Guber
natorial chair by a bogus army vote, just as
Given for time swindled Major Weaver
out of the position to which the people elec
ted him. Judge Woodward polled a larger
vote than any Democrat ever polled when
elected by thirty or forty thousand majority.
Let that pass. - These Disunionists have
now no army in the field to compel to vote
for their candidates ;'no hospitals and camps
all over this, city and State ; and there is not
now that man living in Pennsylvania who
voted for Woodward who will not vote for
Clymer. In addition to all this, thousands
of men who three years ago voted against
the Democracy, will, in October next, vote
with them. How are you, Geary ?
" Joseph H. Campbell, Esq. , of Dan
ville, one of Mr. Chalfant's Representative
Conferees, has published a brief communi
cation, in the Intelligencer, in which he says :
44 1 did promise the Representative Confer
ees to ha present at the Senatorial Meeting,
and I was present, and did use my influence
in favor of Columbia County it is simply
LTUia to say Ifailed in my pledges." - Hold,
Mr. Campbell. 'We deny, that you were
present at the Senatorial Meeting. You
only came the day after the Senatorial Meet
ing, and not then, until the Conference was
in session. We aver that not only you and
your colleague, but Capt Chalfant, Esquire
YarLs and Sheriff Shelhart, each and every
one of you, grossly violated your pledges,
taade in hearing of some dozen witnesses.
. 57 The qualified voters of this Com
monwealth, at all general elections, are
Lereby, hereafter, authorized and required
to vote as follows : One ticket shall embrace
the names of all judges of courts voted for
ad to be labelled, outside, "judiciary ;" one
ticket shall embrace the names of all state
oEcers voted for, and be labelled, "state ;"
one . ticket shall embrace the names of all

senator, congress, and members of assembly
if voted for, and be labelled, bounty;" one
ticket shall embrace all the township officers
voted for, be labelled "borough;" and each
class 6hall .be deposited in separate ballot
boxes: ' - : :.:''
: tZ2;A. few silly individuals, who have
been taking our paper, have seen fit to dis
continue it since we do not think and believe
as they do on the legislative question. We
style those persons " silly," because a man
of censo and of a well balanced mind would
ftot get quite down to such low things. Do
they suppose the stopping of a few subscrip
tion.! to our paper would have anything to
do uith changing the course of its editors ?
If tLey do, it is an erroneous idea with them.
We ask no man to think and believe as we
do, but that he should read, reflect upon,
and consider vmll what he has read, and vote
according to the dictation of his own con
science.. . This will satisfy 'ua, and should any
reasonable man. We might infer, that a
man vLo discontinues . bij newspaper, be
cause the editor chooses to support one single
priscipla or candidate who is not th choice
cf the subsc riber, is unwilling to trust him
self, fearing that he might, be converted to
the editor's views.- This is our pinion of
the matter. , ; '. .

TO THE DEMOCRATIC STANDING
COMMITTiiiS UiJ' LULU ALulA CO.
GiNTLxaiEf : We deem it our duty as
Democrats to call your attention to circum
stances connected with the recent nomina
tions for State Senator, and Representative
in the Districts indicated, with which our
ceunty is connected ; and wo do thi3 with a
view especially to the interests of the great
Democratic Party in general, and of the in
terests of the counCes with which we are
politically connected in particular. "
At the recent Democratic Convention of
this county, John Snyder and R. C, Fruit,
Esqrs., were appointed Representative Con
ferees on behalf of said county ; and instruc
ted by the Convention, as follows :
Resolved, That John Snyder, of Orange,
and R. C. Fruit, of Bloom, be and are here
by appointed Representative Conferees to
meet similar Conferees of Montour county,
on Tuesday, the 18th inst, for the purpose
of nominating a candidate for Assembly,
with instructions to support the choice of
Montour county. 1 rovided, 6aid county use
her influence in the support of a candidate
for State Senator from Columbia county.
This resolution was unanimously adopted
by the Democratic Convention of Columbia
county ; but at the meeting of the Represen
tative Conferees of the counties of Columbia
and Montour, Mr. Thomas Chalfant, the
candidate for Member from Montour, insist
ed that the proviso contained in said resolu
tion was uncalled for and unnecessary, for
the reason that the nominee for State Sena
tor was already conceded to Columbia coun
ty ; and Mr. Chalfant himself, as well as his
Conferees, Joseph H. Campbell and John
McWillianis, Esqrs., as also his personal
friends who had accompanied him from Mon
tour to Bloomsburg, pledged themselves to
be "on hand," at the time of the coming
Senatorial Conference, to securebeyond the
possibility of doubt, the nomination of Hon.
Levi L. Tate, as candidate for State Sena
tor, in the spirit of the above resolution.
After this pledge, the Representative Con-
erees of Columbia county, gave the nomi
nation of Jlember to -Mr. Chalfant. But
what happened m at the Senatorial Confer
ence ? (It was held, as all know, after Mr.
Chalfant was nominated as member.) Why,
neither Mr. Chalfant, nor any person repre
senting him, nor his interest as a candidate,
nor the felling of Montour county in favor
of the sentiment embodied in the foregoing
resolution, was present ; and although this
Senatorial Conference lasted two days, and
one hundred and twenty-one ballotings were
had, and although many opportunities were
afforded to the Montour Conferees to secure
the nomination of Hon. Levi L. Tate, yet
not a single vote did either of the Conferees
of Montour County cast infovorof the choice
of Columbia County, which choice was made
in solemn Convention. Comment is unnces
tay. It may be remembered, that, under the
apportionment bill of 1857, the nomination
for State Senator was given to 6nyder coun
ty, the smallest in the District, and a county
giving a majority against us ; thus passing by,
for the time, the claims of the heavy Dem
ocratic majority of Columbia. A like thing
has, through gross misrepresentation and po
litical intrigue, happened now, in palpable
violation of conceded claims.
The Democracy of Columbia county de
mand that not only these pledges, but her
claims, shall be respected. This we say, af
ter full consultation with those who are true
friends of constitutional liberty, as well as of
political honesty ; and it is asked, that, in
vindication of right, and in rebuke of viola
ted pledges, Hon. Levi L. Tate, the choice
of the Democracy of Columbia county, in
Convention assembled, be placed in the field
s the nominee for Representative.

We, the undersigned, concur in the above
statement of facts,, and recommend that Hon.
Levi L. Tate be placed in nomination, as

counties of Columbia and Montour.

TO THE DEMOCRACY OF COLUM
BIA COUNTY :
We, the members of the Democratic
County Committee of Columbia, upon due
consideration of the statement above pre
sented to us, by the gentlemen whose names
are thereto 6igned, present the following
action, in the hope that we may hereby se
cure general satisfaction to the Democracy of
Columbia.
Believing that the whole statement is
based upon facts, and knowing that the rights
of Columbia cannot be maintained except
through the action of the County Committee,
in concert with the wishes of the Represen
tative Conferees, we refer to the proceedings
of the County Convention to direct us.
By the resolution above produced, we con
clude that the people of the county, in gen
eral Convention assembled, by their repre
sentative delegates, did not desire that the
representative conferees of Columbia county
should concede the nomination of the candi
date from Montour, unless Montour county
should aid Columbia in the maintenance of
her rights to the nomination of the choice of
the Columbia Convention for State Senator.
Therefore, believiag that we are acting in
accordance with the will of the people as ex
pressed in the resolution appointing the Rep
resentative Conferees and by and with the
concurrence of said Conferees, we place Hon.
Levi L. Tate before the people of the coun
ty as the Democratic candidate for the office
of Representative in the State Legislature,
from the district composed of Columbia and
Montour counties.

The Meeting.
The meeting of the Bloomsburg Demo
cratic Club, announced for Thursday evening
last, was an entire success. At an early
hour a large number of country friends
gathered to the Hall, which would not con
tain the number congregated. The meeting
was organized by Peter Billmeyer, Esq.,
President of the Club, who introduced Hon.
Charles R. Buckalew. Mr. Buckalew enter
tained the large crowd for two hours, with
an able and unanswerable defense of the res
toration policy of President Johnson, and
an earnest appeal to the people to sustain
him in his efforts to bring back peace and
unity to a distracted and divided people.
There will be a meeting of the Democratic
Club in Snyder's Hall, every Saturday eve
ning, from this on till the election, and on
the Monday evening immediately preceding
the election. Don't fail to attend.
An Answer Requested. We have a
question to ask of our loyal cotemporaries,
or whoever it may concern. It is this: Is
it true, as has been stated and thus far
without contradiction that while Congress
voted to give the white soldiers fifty and an
hundred dollars additional bounty respect
ively, according to their terms of service or
the sums heretofore received, it voted to
give the black soldiers three hundred dol
lars? If yea, is it true that while this ad
ditional bounty is being paid to the negroes,
payment is refused to the whites upon the
plea that there are no appropriations for the
purpose ?
IwsmrEN remember, that in voting for
John W. Geary, you vote for a man who
took an oath to ostracise you and yours
pledged himselt to be your enemy, to pre
vent you from voting, holding office or en
joying any of the rights of an American Citi
zenthat you vote for a party that burnt
your churches, murdered your countrymen,
and robbed your houses, that you vote
for a party that to-day, in the State of Mis
souri, imprison your Clergymen for preach
ing; your Sisters of Charity for teaching,
and would, did they have the power, drive
you from your homes and work, and give
your places to the negroes, who, they say are
your equals in every respect Remember
these things,' when you go to the polls.
The Maine Election.
The Republicans have elected their State
ticket in Maine' by an increased majority.
Had such a result occurred out of New Eng
land, it would occasion some anxiety and
alarm, and would bode no good to the future
tranquility of the country. Lf we could be
made to believe that there exists throughout
the North an inextinguishable hatred of the
South, which would be satisfied with nothing
but holding it under the iron heel of des
potic authority, taxing that section without
representation, and compelling its white in
habitants to regard their late slaves as their
equals, we should come to the conclusion
that the ' day of republican institutions in
this country was rapidly approaching its
close. " May we never live in a Republic,"
said Mr. Greeley a few years ago, "where
of one half is pinned to the other by bayo
nets." If he contemplated the subjection
by mere military power as a permanent ar
rangement, it was a rational wish. The mil
itary powerlwhich would bo requisite for
governing the South by this method would
be fatal to the liberty of the North, as Mr.
Beecher showed in his first letter.
But we entertain no apprehension that
the great belt of Middle States will follow
the example of Maine and Vermont The
chief reason why hatred to the South s eo
easily stirred up in those States is found in
the fact that they are so remote from the
Southern people, that they regard them with
the 6ame kind of irrational hostility that
nations used to feel towards each other be
fore the modern facilities of communication
and intercourse existed. In Maine and Ver
mont, not one man in ten thousand ever sees
a Southerner in the whole course of his life.
Away on the Canada frontier, where what
is done in the South ha3 less effect on their
prosperity than on any other part of the
country, it might be supposed that the peo
ple of Maine and Vermont would be more
ready to concede the right of self-govern
ment to those on the Gulf and the Rio
Grande, than the people of New York or
Dlinois, who by their Jarge 'commerce and
intercourse are directly affected by all that
touches the prosperity of the South. But
distance does not operate in that manner. It
tends to convert into natural enemies those
who know nothing of each other. It is the
same illiberal feeling of blind hostility that
existed between England and France when
" a narrow frith interposed made enemies of
nations ;" but which haa happily given way
before the benign influences of increased
commercial and social intercourse. The same
reasons explain why New York, and espe
cially that part of its citizens who are con
versant with the South and have the great
est stake in its welfare, desire to treat that
section with kindness and magnanimity,
while Maine and Vermont are so easily ex
cited to look askance on the Southern peo
ple, and think they do God service by trying
to deprive them of self-government
Warning to Election Officers.
The Bellefonte (Centre county) Watch
man of September 7 records the conviction
of two members of the Election Board of
Snowshoe township, in that county, for il
legally refusing the vote of an alleged desert
er at the election in October, 1865. Thus,
while Governor Curtin and the gang of
SnickcrvilUans who surround him at Har
risburg are sending out lists of alleged de
serters, and instructing their friends on tho
various Election Boards throughout the
State not to permit these persons to vote,
the Court of Curtin s oim county, presided
over by a Republican Judge, convicts two
election officers for refusing to receive the
vote of an alleged deserter. In his anxiety
to secure a seat in the Senate of the United
States, Curtin is urging the Republican elec
tion officers everywhere to commit an offense
for which they may be tried, convicted and
punished. Itis a pity the chief Snickcrvill-
ians cannot be indicted and convicted along
with their poor tools on the Election Board?,
but if these latterwillbe dupes and victims,
let them suffer.
From the Bellefonte Watchman.
Conviction of an Election Board for
Refusing to Receive tiie Vote of an
lleoed "Deserter. "The trial of Joshua
H. Brown, D. M. Betts, and D. II. Yeager,
Election Board of Snowshoe township, "for
illegally refusing the vote of John Dayton,
at the October election in 1805. resulted in
the conviction cf Brown and Betts and the
acquittal of Yeager, the Court having in
structed the iury that they eould not convict
the latter under the evidence.
The facts of the case, as given in evidence
on the trial, are about as follows: John Day,
ton, a man of foreign birth, presented him
self at the window at the October election in
1665, offering his ballot m one hand and his
naturalization paper and a receipt for taxes
in the other, lie was challenged by one of
the Board as a deserter, as he had been ab
sent from the township during one of the
drafts. They refused to allow him to . vote
unless he would take an oath that he had
not left the township to avoid the draft
Mr. Dayton refused to do this and his vote
was rejected, Mr. Yeager protesting against
the action of the Board and being overruled
by his companions. Mr. Onis assisted the
District Attorney in the prosecution and Mr.
M'AUister conducted the defence. Thejury
were out but ahort time when they return
ed with a verdict of guilty as to Brown and
Betts and not guilty as to Yeager.
We hone the effect of this trial may be to
prevent all such illegal attempts to deprive
qualified voters of their rights in the future.
A Cry of Alarm. The Disunion papers
in this District are now calling upon their
followers to centre all their efforts upon the
election of Judge Elyvell to Congress. Of
Geary's election they profess to be certain
which means it is not icorth while to waste
powder for him. They falter and bend be
fore the great change in public sentiment
They begin to see tho hand-writing on the
wall, and to look about them for hiding
places. Now is the time for the friends of
Constitutional Government to strike home.
With an united effort we can redeem this
Congressional District,- and send to Wash
ington a man who will hold up the hands of
President Johnson and vote and work to re
store and sustain the Union of all the States.
tSy Wilmington, Delaware, gave Mr Lin
coln nearly nme hundred majority in 1864.
On Tuesday last it gave two hundred and
twenty-nine majority for the Radical candi
date for Mayor. That is called increasing the
Republican majority, and the crazy fools of
the loyal Convention threw up their caps,
hats and botmeta over it
To the Electors of Columbia.
Fellow Citizens: Having been nomi
nated for the Legislature by tho Democratic
Party of Columbia County, I not only ac
cepted the nomination with pleasure, but
with every assurance of ultimate success. I
know the people, whose candidate I am, and
they well know what interests are involved
in the result of this contest And there I
leave the question, with a few words of ex
planation, for the arbitrament of the People
at the Ballot Box.
Nine years ago, M. E. Jackson carried
Columbia county, as the Democratic candi
date for State Senator. The Montour Con
ferees defeated him in Conference. Six
years ago John G. Freeze carried Columbia
county, for Senator and Montour defeated
him in Conference. Three years ago, the
undersigned had the unanimous recommen
dation of Columbia county for State Senator
and Montour voted against him in. Confer
ence. The present season, the undersigned
was unanimously nominated by the Democ
racy of Columbia county, for State Senator.
Again, Montour county, through the agency
of a clique of her truckling politicians, be
trayed the rights of Columbia and defeated
her candidate.
Here is a series of outrages perpetrated
upon the rights of the confiding and honest
people of Columbia, running into four Sen
atorial terms, consecutively, exclusively by
the wily politicians of Montour county.
Need our people require any further evi
dence of their wanton treachery towards a
magnanimous people, who has ever treated
Montour county and her interests generously
and kindly, and whose proverbial generosity
they have uniformly betrayed. Over twenty
years ago, the Danville politicians procured
the nomination of Senator Best on written
pledges not to dismember or divide Colum
bia county, and after his nomination, put
their tools to work in this county and defeat
ed Hon. Jons McRetnold8, who was the
regular Democratic nominee for Representa
tive, then compelled Mr. Best to violate his
pledges and divide our county. Mr. Chal
fant and four of his principal friends, this
year, gave equally strong pledges of their
good faith, all of which they as deliberately
violated. And so intended.
But is it not somewhat singular, that many
of the same men who then supported Mr.
Best whose election we must forever depre
cate are, to-day, the open and active advo
cates of again placing the Legislative power
of the District in the hands of the Danville
political clique?
As to the nomination of Mr. Chalfant, for
Assembly, the present year, everybody will
discover, by a glance at the resolution, pub
lished elsewhere with the proceedings in this
journal, that it was only conditional. Those
conditions the Montour politicians most
shamelessly disregarded and forfeited. For
feited by five of their number promising to
"be on hand" at the Senatorial Conference,
to uphold the hands of their Conferees and
secure their vote and influence for the nomi
nation of a Senator from Columbia county.
And doubly forfeited, by subsequently send
ing two Conferees to Bloomsburg, who voted
one hundred and twenty-one times in Confer
ence and never gave a single solitary vote
for the choice of the Democracy of Colum
bia for Senator.
Our people wisely forseeing the develop
ment of events, and judging of the future
by the past, have prudently determined to
guard their own rights, interests and honor,
and save their county from further imposi
tion and disfranchisement at the hand of a
clique of wily politicians in Montour. I
therefore, call upon the people of Columbia,
to look to their interests before it be too lato.
And in conclusion, you will find in me for the
future, as in the past, a Democrat "in whom
there is no guile," a firm supporter of the
interests of your county and a bold defender
of Constitutional Liberty.
v LEVI L. TATE.
Sept 10, 1866.
Representative.
In obedience to the wishes of the Democ
racy of Columbia county, as expressed in
the correspondence published elsewhere, and
in vindication of their injured rights, we
deem it our duty to remove the name of
Capt Thomas Chalfant, of Montour county,
from our mast-head and substitute in its
stead that of Col. L. L. Tate, of Columbia
county, as our candidate for Representative,
in the District composed of tho counties of
Montonr and Columbia. Though the neces
sity of this action is a matter of deep regret

1ST The Pipe-layers who have professed
to belong to the Democratic Party, and who,
by the by, had better at once acknowledge
where they do belong, that is, to the Aboli
tionists who conduct the Columbian, are con
siderably troubled at the action of the Dem
ocratic authorities in the matter of Repre
sentative. These Pipe-layers have got the
party in considerable trouble in consequence
of their "entangling alliances;" and the
stern Democracy of central Pennsylvania in
tend to show these weak-kneed Democrats (?)
that no truckling to the men who called for
ropes three years ago shall be countenanced.
The threats of the lamp-post, and of the
power of the Provost Marshal, and of Fort
Mifflin, and the sorrows and distress of forty
five respectable citizens of Columbia County,
who were marched, without proper clothing
or food, away from their families without a
moment's notice, and at unreasonable hours,
will not soon be forgotten. The Democrats
who now forget these things will vet regret
that they have "not remembered them suffi
ciently long, . .
From the Bradford Argus.
For Congress, William xnweiu
. The pleasure with which we announce,
that the Congressional nomination in this
District is at lencrth settled, beyond all
doubt, is not lessened by the premonition of
the tact heretotoro made manliest in these
columns. Hon. William Elwell, as will
be seen by the proceedings of the Congres
sional Conference published last week, was
unanimously nominatod on the first ballot
by the Conterec9 assembled at Bloomsburg
on the 6th inst It is almost unnecessary to
enlarge upon that phase of this event, which
lies in th supreme satisfaction every conser
vative man in this county will feel for the
result Judge Elwell is one of the few
men of distinction, who have a vast number
of attached and ardent friends, and seldom,
if ever, an open enemy. He is of that rare
class of men, prominent in public affairs.
who unite a generous, kindly and unselfish
nature with steady and profound intellectual
strength. His selection to represent this
district was entirely unsoucrht, and illustrates
solely the spontaneous sense of the people
A .1. . t 1 - , -
not iuc management 01 a wire-worxing poli
tician. It is almost unnecessary, therefore,
to pass any tribute upon his traits and vir
tues, tebe disseminated among his old friends
and neighbors in this county so well by
these is lie known, so thoroughly is his char
acter established.
Judoe Elwell, previous to his elevation
to the bench, maintained, at the bar of Brad-
iora bounty ana the adjoining circuit, a su
premacy, which never disturbed the equa
nimity of his manners, or aggravated an im
modest opinion of himself. His hand was
alwa3-s ready to assist the younger members
of the profession, and gave cheerful aid to
some eyen of equal experience and years.
To his clients ne never gave advice which
was insincere, or based purely upon motives
of personal gain. He never took those by
whom he was employed, through the expen
sive complications of a doubtful law-suit, to
get the benefit of a larger fee, or made them
tho victims of ill-considered counsel.
The choice which fell upon him for the
judgeship of the twenty-first district was
made, without solicitation, by a bar fully en
lightened in regard to his personal character
his eminent fitness for the place. Having
attained, in his chosen career of life, a posi
tion suited in all respects to his ambition and
hb tastes, adorned by his purity and sustain
ed by his ability and learning he has been
put in nomination, at the nsk of personal
sacrifice, and with extreme reluctance on his
own part, for an office, to which, if elected,
he will bring a ripe, patient, and most befit- I
ting culture, a reputation unsullied, by per-!
sonal trickery, a heart unskilled in the devious
hishonesty of political intrigue. He is a
man, thus, in every sense of the capacity
and character, to become an honest and em
inent servant of the people.
The blameless record Mr. Elwell has
maintained, is beyond the slightest aspersion
of his political opponents, whoever they may
be, wherever they may be found. But the
friendship of those, who profess with him
sentiments in common, must not passively
permit his defeat If these combine, his
election is beyond a doubt and the whole
district may be redeemed from that relic of
radical mis-rule, which, sustained by narrow
self-interest in this county, is dying by rapid
degrees everywhere else in the country,
energy and organization will insure complete
success. The lower counties will give to
Mr. Elwell largely increased majorities ;
a proper vigilance in Bradford alone, is ncc
cessary to elect him.
We call upon the people, who have made
his nomination, to make his election sure,
to organize at once, and see that no votes are
lost.
If they would break down the reign of
radicalism throughout the land :
If they would have the true sentiment of
the pcoplo laithfully represented a true
man in the ricrht place :
If they desire the complete restoration of
the Union, the return 01 national intercourse,
commerce and comity ;
If to see the Constitution kept virgin, as
the liberty it secures, supreme, as the power
it has given us among tho nations of the
earth.
If they wish the spirit of peace should
supplant the violence of faction and the
vengeful memories of war j
If, that the end, for which their brethren
and kindred have fallen, should be attained
and that the nation should not be cheated
out of the just results of the sacrifices these
have made, to make it one :
If they would have the oligarchy destroy
ed, which has siczed and desecrated, in its
use, the common law of our common coun
try, and turned back the tide of progress
to wait upon the tardy fulfillment of its own
lust for places and power;
If, that the commonwealth of the whole
Union, should be liberated from the enor
mous burden of debt, which rests upon us
the ability of half tho resources of the
country to pay half the debt, should not be
stifled by exclusion 1'rom the privilege and
protection of equal laws ;
If they have faith in the future or pride in
the past
Let them turnout, and vote for, and work
for William Elwell, the people's choice
for the New Congress, which will restore the
Union, and bring on that order of things,
which the present incumbent has voted and
stands pledged to put down and keep down !
