That "Address." 9 In an extra issued from the Danville In telligencer office, "sent free of charge," and bearing data of the" 21st Sept 1866, pub lished byThos. Chalfant, the fraudulent can didate for Representative from this District, ir find a 60 called "Address," intended to influence voters of Columbia and Montour in favor of Mr. Chalfant, -who claims to be the regularly nominated candidate. This "Address" is signed by Joseph II. Camp bell and John McWUliams, Representative Conferees from Montour, and witnessed by "William' Yorfcs and Jacob Shelhart. It pretends to refute the statements in the letter of Columbia county Democrats to the County Committee ; and although it does not in a single point succeed, yet we will direct attention to a few of the glaring here sies it advocates. It cays, "We never corn ceded to Columbia county the Senatorial candidate. " ' Now we say to Messrs. Campbell and !Mc WiHiams that' their conduct was very im proper if they thought Hon tour entitled to the Senator. ' And we ask them why did lie Mr. Campbell unite in the cry of Mr. Chalfant that the Columbia county resolu tion, instructing her Conferees to vote for the Montour candidate only in case Mon tour would vote for Columbia's candidate for Senator, was uncalled for and highly un just, inasmuch as it cast a reflection upon the honestj of Montour citiicns, and that too at a time when Montour had agreed to stand by Columbia ? And further, if Mon tour had a claim for Senator, "as strong, if not stronger than that of Columbia, or any other county in the- District," why did Mr. Chalfant represent to the Columbia Confer ees that, it was not the desire much less the intention of Montour to have Mr. Dean nom inated, and that when 'the 31 on tour county Convention instructed the Senatorial Con ferees to uso their influence for Dean, they did not intend more than a compliment to Dean, and that in truth it was done merely for the purpose of letting him (Dean) down easy, after I (Chalfant) had driven him to the wall" 1 We cay why was all tbi - deception practiced by Mr. Chalfant and his friends if Montour had a just, or in the wor&J of the "Address," a ''stronger claim than that of Columbia"?. No, gentlemen, the people of Columbia cannot be duped Into the rapport of Mr. Chalfant by car loads of his "extra, sent free of charge," containing euch fallacies as this. Mr. Chal fant and his friends never hinted that Mon tour had such claim. They positively pledg ed Montour to support Columbia and con ceded our right. If, as they now say, they were unable to control the Senatorial Con ferees, they should not have bound them selves, for they, well understood that enly upon condition of Montour aiding Columbia .to secure, the Senatorial nomination could Mr. Chalfant be nominated, and he was only " a a. . nominated upon mat conamon; tne conai tion having not lecn complied with, Mr. Chalfant's nomination became at once void, in accordance with the direction of the .Columbia Convention. And there being no Democratic candidate, Hon. Levi L. Tate, voiumoia s selection, becomes tne regular Democratic nominee." But, again, while Mr. Campbell attempts to deny that pledges were made, and treats with contempt the idea that he, Chalfant and his friends, could influence the Senato rial Conferees, an idea which, had our .Representative Conferees known Campbell, ri,. '. r- i4 i .- i , . nously hurled back to them when the pledge was made, yet he - positively asserts that a pledge, for the action of their Senatorial Con fercss, "that "after supporting the nomina- tion of Mr. Dean for a reasonable time, in accordance with their instructions, said Con ferees, would vote for the nominee of Colum bia," was made. .And Mr. Campbell cay3, 'this was " redeemed in both letter and 'spir it. ""This is a positive falsehood, for the Montour Conferees, after balloting one hun dred and twenty-one times, during a contest of two days, did NOT CAST A SINGLE VOTE for Columbia county, but upon the final ballot, by which Mr. Jackson was nom inated, both Montour Conferees voted for Jackson ; and! for this we do not hold Mr. "Dean ncr Hs Conferees responsible, but Mr. Chalfax t, by whom misrepresentations were , xaada. ' ' . This 13 a candid analysis of , this "Address"; .fvtrnded upon a basis tnannfactured since .Tat3h&3 been nominated as a candidate, or based, upon mental reservations of Mr. Chal- .fict ecd his friends, while . making their it i Attention, Electors. The Radical Rebels are trying td subvert the law of tie land as decided by' the Su preme Court of the State. They are striv ing to resist the right of thousand of citizens ' to exercise the privilege of voting. They aim at the franctusement of a large portion of the people upon the pretext that they are guilty of an offense of which they have not only never been convicted but for which they have not been, and never will be, tried. Theso new rebels against the laws,' these despicable enemies to the freedom of the white man, had better not undertake to put their contemplated fraud into practice ; they must remember that the law is against th em ; the highest judicial tribunal in the State has declared that no man can be de prived of his right to vote, simply because his name is found on a Provost Marshal's list of "Deserters." The Supreme Court has decided that a man must have been tried for and convicted of desertion, and the punishment of disfranchisement adjudged by the proper tribunal, before he can be depriv ed of the right to vote as being a desorter. That Court has also further decided that Judges of Election cannot try a man for desertion, but arc bound to take' his vote, unless evidence of his conviction as a desert er and tho adjudication of the penalty of dis franchisement by the proper tribunal,, in his case, are laid Deiore tnem. iicnce, we warn all election-boards against being influenced by the foul schemes of the Radical Rebels who are plotting to overturn the laws of the State. We say it in all earnestness and with a full determination to make good our words. EVERY ELECTION OFFICER WrIIO DESERTER, WHO IS OTHERWISE QUALIFIED TO VOTE, WILL BE PUNISHED TO THE UTMOST EX TENT OF THE LAW. Ulysses Mercur. Mercur, the negro suffrage candidate for Congress in this District, made a speech in the Court House, at this place, on Wednes day evening of last week, in which he de clared the negro entitled to a vote and all the privileges enjoyed by the white man. He stated that there were negroes in the District of Columbia more intelligent than any per son in the room in which lie was speaking. Of course he included himself. Isn't it asta-i-ihing that he should admit, even if it were the case, that the negroes in the District of Columbia are more intelligent than his con stituents or even himself? This was said in part to justify his votes on the negro suffrage and Frecdmen's bureau bills. Those of his Abolition hearers who are not quite as black as some others, declare, since the meeting, that they cannot sustain his negro suffrage principles, no difference if the negroes did enter the . service in defence of the country. They entered the army through the force bf circumstances, at large bounties, and prom ises of light duty, which promises were well kept by the Abolition army "pimps" who commanded these "pet lambs." Mercxr did not seem to want votes, and in our opin ion, he. will fall considerably short of his vote of 1 SGI. He should and tall be defeat ed, no tico tcays about it. 1 JC2y The Pipe-layers endeavor to make a point against our nominee for Representa tive by saying, through their little organ, that he was not the choice of the county because, as they say, he had only six townships. This is nolthe fact. He received the majority of votes in the Convention, and it naturally fol lows that he must have been the choice of that body to have become the nominee. It is a fact, that Col. Tate was second in strength, when tre compare the real strength of the three candidates for the office of Sen ator, lie had more votes than McNinch ; and, as a matter of right, the Delegates in structed for Mr. McNinch, after he did not come into the Convention, were at liberty to support their next choice, which they did, and the result was, that Col. Tate received the majority of votes, and was mada the nominee for Senator. Yet the clique, which are trying to sn:ah things in this county, declare in their little organ that Col. Tate was not the choice of the Convention. All this will do for them to talk about ; but not one of them would refuse to take a nomina tion under similar circimsLance.?, and after ward claim to be the choice of the county. Sf No one but a native born citizen of the United States is eligible, by the Consti tution, to the Presidency. No naturalized German, Irishman, Englishman, Scotchman, Welshman or other foreigner, can be made President. Tho Rump amendment to the Constitution, which is an issue at the com ing clecticTn, makes all the native born ne- grocs citizens, and consequently they are made eligible to the PrcsideQ?y of the United States. Negroes arc thus preferred to, and placed above all intelligent foreigners, not withstanding many of the latter have resided m the country for fifty or sixty years. Ger mans, Irishmen, Welshmen, will you vote to make negroes eligible to an office which is denied to you ? s?" For five or six years the Radicals paid that any one who spoke disrespectfully of the President of tho United States was " disloyal." As long as they had the power they persecuted m the most shameful man ner all who dared to give an honest expres sion of opinion in regard to the policy of the Lhiet Magistrate. Now, they not only abuse the President, but openly insult hira. If their utterances were true, when they acted in the disgraceful manner we hav(? in dicated, they were guilty of "treason" and " should be made odious." This the people will do at the ballot-box ! - T 1 - I SQi- The whole Democratic Ticket of Co lumbia county, and Districts with which she is connected, will be elected by. handsome majorities ; in spite of the Pipe-laying sheet, published by car. friend, Mr. Little, from the'onfi-fourth ' Johnson, and three-fourths Abolition press of this town. The Democ racy of Columbia are always true to them selves ; Hon. Levi L. Tate especially, for the reason that the Pipe-layers have made war i.: hi .. . ujhju nun, wui receive an extraordinary nv Hon. William dwell. no Wm. Elwex, the candidate of the Democracy of this District, is daily and rap idly gaining friends from out the Republican ranks. . Judge MzncuBis the Representa tive of the blade man. Look at his course relative to the negro soldiers, and compare it with his vote on the bounty bill for the "white boys in blue," ne has been the means of the "white" soldiers receiving a small, insignificant bounty, say one hundred dollars. ' Yes, if his vote Would have de cided the matter, they would get no bounty at alL for he voted against the bounty, lie voted for negro, suffrage, the Constitutional Amendments, Civil Rights Uill, and the Frcedmen's Bureau Bill, all of which bills the President returned to the House with his veto messages, fully and clearly setting forth his objections to the bills. . The Radi cals determined to have these bills become a law, in spite of the opposition of the Pres ident, they passed them over his head by a two-thirds party vote MERCUR voting with the Radicals on every question. Will the people of this District endorse his course? Will the soldiers give him their suffrage? Will the farmers, the heavy tax-payers gen erally, assist in his election, since hi3 having legislated a largo sum of money out of your pockets to supiort the negro in filth aud idleness ? There is good reason to believe that the Columbian of this place was established with the intention of becoming a Democratic paper after the election. " This is the nat ural explanation of its course and of the conduct of its managers and their associates," as follows : .Brockway, Eyerly, Little and the Freezes. It was claimed, at first, that the. paper was established to perform a certain mission, and that was to revolutionize this Congressional District and defeat Mercur, the Abolition candidate for re-election to Congress. How well it is performing that job, the result at the polls on the 9th of Oc tober will explain. During the whole Sum mer certain Democrats were busily soliciting subscriptions and advertising for that estab lishment, in an underhanded and sncahing manner, thus injuring the business of their own Democratic editors. Why was this done? Simply because these men expected to take control of the paper ere long. They were not contented with one Democratic pa per, however much they expressed gratifica tion over the consolidation of the Democrat and Star. For our part, wo care littlo how many papers are printed; misery lores com pany ; as publishing a country paper is a thankless, sinking business, to make the best of it fS?" Thomas Chalfant, his Conferees, nor his friends, who accompanied him to this place on the day of his Conferee meeting, did not attend the meeting of Senatorial Conference at Bloomsburg, on Tuesday, the 4th of September, 1866. TJiis teas the day appointed for the meeting, and not one of those gentlemen vrere present. It is true, Mr. Campbell did attend on the second day, but arrived when it was too late for him to assist in the nomination of Columbia County's choice, even if he had been disposed to do so.- No one supposed that the Conference would last two days. That was not the in tention. We refer to this matter only be cause we noticed it repeatedly stated in the Chalfant organs last week that they, the Representative Conferees, had fulfilled every pledge made, one of which was that they would be here and use their influence for the nomination of Senator from Columbia County. Now, they did not mean to make their pledges good, or else they knew they had no influence with the Montour Senatorial Con ferees, hence they stayed at home, to allow their agents to do their pipe-laying work, in defeating Col. Tate. Courage, Democrats ! The signs of the times are auspicious. The political atmos phere is becoming daily more clear and trans parent. The Democratic masses everywhere arc closing up thir ranks and preparing for the mighty conflict Thousands of honest Republican? are breaking loose from the trammels of their party leaders, and are uniting with their Democratic neighbors in the glorious work of restoring the Union and saving the Constitution from the impious and ruthless hands of the spoilers. The skies arc bright, and all that is wanting to ensure success is fur every Democrat to Ao his whole duty from now until the polls close on the day of the election. Zv2 The Abolition party in tlx! - county did the best thing they could have d ne fjr the Democratic party, when they imported Senator Landox, of Bradford, to this county to make speeches for their cause. He ha3 made several votes fir our candidate for Congress, 'Judge Elwell, to our certain knowledge. We would suggest to the Chair man of the Democratic Standing Committee of .this county, that he engage Laxdon to thoroughly stump this county. He is of the most radical stripe ; goes the wbole length for the negro ; and is not content with any thing short of negro suffrage. . Besides his radicalism he is an intolerable blackguard. BSSF Thomas Chalfant, editor of the Dan ville Intelligencer, labors hard to explain his position before the people of this District as a candidate for Representative. The facts contained in the "statement," as published in our paper, relative to the Conferee meet ing and the conduct of the Montour, men towards Columbia County, he cannot suc cessfully contradict. The facts in the case, it would seem, he nor his friends do not pre tend to deny ; although Mr. Chalfant starts out in several articles in hi3 paper, promis ing to explain the whole matter away, but does not even make what might be consid ered a creditable attempt to disprove one single point in the "statement," signed by over two hundred Democrats in the county. " George D. Jackson, the candidate for State Senator, will be elected by a hand some majority. He is fit for the pos" don nas had considerable experience as a legisla tor and will receive an increased majority this FalL The office will be filled by a man in whom the interests of the District can be placed with safety.. He will bo an able and responsible guardian. 1 Representatire. The Danville Intelligencer harps exceeding ly about the mistaken idea that Mr. Chal fant is the regularly nominated candidate for Representative. Mr. Chalfant had only a conditional nomination as was well known by himself and so declared by the Conferees. The conditions were, not complied with and there was then no candidate in nomination by the consent of the Columbia County Con ferees, and it is for this reason to place a candidate in nomination that the Confer ees requested the nomination of Col. Tate. For the Conferees of Columbia to consent to the fraudulent acts of Mr. Chalfant, and say he' is the regularly nominated candidate, would be a gross violation of the trust given in their hands by the County Convention. The nomination of Col. Tate is strictly in accordance with the will and direction of the Columbia County Convention. Levi L. Tate is the only properly nominated Demo cratic candidate for Representative. He is the man for whom every Democrat must vote if he would accept the motto of The Campaign, "stick to the ticket, the whole ticket, and nothing but the ticket." tST E. II. Little, Esq., of this place, is editing . a Campaign paper for a certain clique in this and Montour County. Stephen Miller !c Co., of this town, are announced as proprietors. They managed to give birth to the paper, on Saturday afternoon last, about 3 o'clock. It was only an half sheet, of the Columbixn size. The editors seem, to forget every issue but the Representative question ; on that issue thay are going their whole length for the Montour County man, and opposing Col. Levi L. Tate, the choice of Columbia County. Through misrepre sentation and deception they hope to succeed, but we rely upon the good judgment and de cision of the people of this county at the ballot-box, for the success of the whole Dem ocratic ticket,, as it appears at the head of our paper. " We will see what we shall see." Mr. Little, editor of the Campaign, in his address to the people say3, " we (mean ing the Democratic Party) woke up in the morning and found that we were without an organ." This is an intended falsehood. Mr. Little knows that both the Democratic or gans, the Berwick Gazette and the Dem ocrat and' Star, are of the pure Jersey blue Democracy; believing that men appoint ed and elected by the people are the servants of the people, and arc in duty bound to obey thoir instructions. Hence, the clique woke up and found the Democratic organs of this county unwilling to support any candidate except those nominated by the people. Cor rupt politicians and money shall not be al lowed to control the Democratio Party. We will see. The Fulton Democrat, in noticing the fact that the Sheriff of that county, in obedience to orders from Harrisburg, has inserted the unconstitutional Deserter Law in his election proclamation, says : This he has done not out of the slightest shade of belief that the law is of any effect, but simply out of obedience to orders. We have already said all that is necessary for us to say about this law. We shall treat it as the Supreme Court require us and aM law-abiding men to treat it as a nullity and dead letter. And we have only to say that the election officer of Fulton county who re jects a vote under the sham pretext of this law, will W treated as a violator of the most sacred riqhts of the citize n. . Let any Aboli tion Judge or Inspector ju-t try the exper iment, and our word for it he will find law suits enough on his hands before a week thereafter to satisfy him for one year at least CS5" The Pipe-layers who want to break up the great Democratic Party of the coun try, and who succeeded in defeating the will of the Democracy, as expressed in their late County Convention, are trying to twist out of the matter in a manner that is really more distressing than amusing. Thoir latest dodge that of printing at the offiocof the Columbian, a mongrel sheet in the interest of certain abolitionists of the men who bro't into Columbia county the soldiers who car ried off to prisons and otherwise grossly mal treated numbers of our most respectable cit izens this dodge of the new paper is, seri ously speaking, abominable. No argument is necessary. The Democracy will give Col. Tate such a majority as will, on a certain fine morning soon to come round, lift them out of their boots. JUS" Tlie men who look after Mr. Chal fant's interests in this county, through bard pleading and the expenditure of much time, have succeeded in getting some TWENTY FIVE persons, out of the large number who have tendered their support to Col. Tate, to agree that their naznes might be withdrawn from the list as published in our last paper. We have had conversation with several, whose names appear in the "recan tation" list published in the Campaign, and they have invariably informed us that thej' will vote for CoL Tate, notwithstanding they allowed the publishers of the Pipe-laying sheet to use their names. This was " the last kick." Our much esteemed townsman, Ste phen II. Miller, as will be seen from notices published elsewhere in this paper, has taken upon himself the toils, troubles and respon sibilities of a journalist. Mr. Miller is well known for his business enterprise and gener al literary intelligence ; and while according to him, and the person.3 associated with him, the usual editorial courtesies, we are com pelled to say that we would rather he had not been obliged to have his new paper printed on a press, the encourage rs of which wanted to hang him two years ago. How are the mighty fallen I SST Col Tate has bolted the ticket in Columbia county, and is out as an independ ent candidate for Assembly. Ilazliton Sen tinel. A great mistake, friend Stokes. Col. Tate has done no such thing. He is the regular nominee of the great Democratio Party f Columbia county for Representative in the Legislature and will be triumphantly elected on the ninth of October. To the Electors of Columbia and Montour. - Fellow Citizens? In the progress of this campaign I deem it proper to again ad dress you upon the Representative question, through the only acknowledged organs of Columbia county, viz : The " Democrat and Star," and the " Berwick Gazette." To my last week's statement, as already before the public, I have nothing to add or subtract, as it is substantially correct in fact, if not exact ly in form, and for the truth of its position I challenge successful contradiction. Let it be distinctly understood and to none but they who wish to pervert the truth, is this appeal necessary that I am not now, never were, or ever will be, a "volunteer," for office, although I have volunteered in the army, and would again, if requested, to save tho Laws, the Union and the Constitution. In a word, I am the only regular nominee of the Democracy of Columbia county for Rep resentative to the Legislature, in the Dis trict composed of the counties of Columbia and Montour. Of my election, on tho lth of October, no sane man has the least doubt It is not a question of success, but simply one of right, and how large will be" the ma jority. In the same spirit of candor and equal justice, which has characterized my course amongst you in every contest, for over a quarter of a century, as the editor of the pioneer organ of the local interests and Democratic party of Columbia county, I here and now propose to enumerate some of the reasons which have superinduced the existing state of affairs in our political ranks; and to ventilate a few of the individuals through whose agency they were brought about Peter Ent and the undersigned, it is well known, were candidates for State Senator before the late Columbia county Democratic Convention. .Mr. Ent was de feated. Had he been successful, he had his plans laid, and arrangements made, to get the nSiination of the District Conferees, and hence, we should have been spared all this turmoil and contention. In short, Mr. Ent and his minions determined to rule the roast, or betray the county. lie gave due notification of this intention, before the del egate elections, and declared that if Tate wa3 nominated by Columbia, that Sullivan" county would get the Senator. And the re sult shows that Mr. Ent knew what he was saying and his prophecy will bo literally ful filled. People of Columbia : I will not weary your patience or insult your intelligence by narrating the modus operandi, through which this game was consummated by Mr. Ent and his perfidious conferred. He had several confederates associated with himself in the nefarious transaction, both about Bloomsburg and up the country, all of whom approached us under the garb of friends' whilst they were then, as now, the active agents and tools of the Danville politicians. Prominently among them were Charles Conner and Elijah G. Ricketts, besides a few small fry in Jerscytown, Greenwood and Bloomsburg. Messrs. Conner and Ricketts are old disorganizes, and original Danville advocates. Over twenty years figo, Mr. Ricketts ran a3 the Danville candidate for the Legislature against Hon. Thomas A. Fiinston, and wa- badly beaten, in which we largely assisted, as the editor of the " Colum bia Enquirer," at Berwick, and for which Mr. R. will never forgive U3; but has a right to be a Danville man. Charles Con ner, some seventeen years ago, was the principal Danville agent, who defeated John McReynolds. for the Legislature, and assist ed Senator Best to destroy Columbia count'. He also has a right to bo a Danville man. 11. II. Little has assumed the nominal con trol of a half-sheet weakly, called the "Cam paign," issued last Saturday in Bloomsburg, in opposition to the interest of the Democ racy of Columbia county and exclusively in support of the Danville political f iction. lie never was of much consequence to the Democracy of Columbia, and we wish him a good tiiue, and better success with his new-fangled allies. Stephen Miller is an nounced as publisher of the Dauvillo bant ling! I must again pay my respects to Mr. Tetcr Ent Passing by the fact that I have ever treated this gentleman courteously and kind ly, he has, in return, as often paid the obli gation by deception and ingratitude. We boldly charge upon Mr. Ent, and his partic ular friends, the miserable betrayal of the Democracy of Columbia, by the violated pledges of the Danville men now, as in for mer days, when they gave us their first les son in political inftdt lify, ar. 1 intend to "firht it out upon that line if it takes all sea -on." Regretting tho necessity of any appear ance of personalities in the elucidation of tho Representative question, it seemed nec essary to say as much as has loen written above, leaving the greater portion of par ticulars the case untouched at present, Lut which, if necessary to its full illustration, will be hereafter discussed. In that event, I will adduce facts, and give names of cer tain men hereabout intlie Danville interest. LEVI L. TATE. beptember 25, 1SGG. The Campaign. The editor of the Campaign paper of this place should be the last person to prate about "bolters" and "bolter's organs," and set up his Democracy as an example. It runs in our hiind tliat last fall a year ago lie was connected with a Democratic Club of this town at a time when there were soldiers quar tered in and about this place, and that he made a motion or a request, before the Club, to the effect that the "Constitution and By laws" of the Club be destroyed, or in other and more mild words, that the leaves con taining the Constitution, By-laws and names of Members, be torn out of the book and be carried off. This motion was instantly voted down. Because a few soldiers were quarter ed here he had not the nerve or moral cour ago to say ho was a Democrat ; and fearing that the soldiers might, on examination, find his name on the books as a member of a Democratic Club he desired that the records he destroyed I Yet this is the same Demo crat who prates about "Democracy and tick et" through the Campaign, and undertakes to tell you who you should vote for. We think you are competent to judge that mat ter.for yourselves without his little gratuitous advice - The Representatire Question. Tt is due our readers that we define our position on the question of Representative, and give our reasons tor pursuing ine course to which we are already committed. As far as we are personally concerned, we have no grievances to redress. Wb.en we were first apprised of the perfidy of our political friends of Montour county, and that the De mocracy of Columbia county were determin ed to maintain her rights at all hazards, the alternative was presented, whether we would Btand by the Democracy of Columbia county, among whose people we have cast our lot, or go with Montour, who had basely betray ed and deserted us for the fourth time, in the hour of need ? We concluded to po with the former, and assist her in the mainte nance ot her nehts. We are aware that in so doing we subject ourselves tothecharge ot disorganization, Well, so be it If refusing to submit to re peated wrongs, to violated faith, subjects us to such cuarpes, we cant help it We stand bi the riahtsof Columbia county ! It is only necessary for us to refer to the record, to show how we have lceu treated by Montour during the past eight or nine years. In 1S5S, Col. John G. Freeze, re ceived the nomination of Coluu.Via county for State Senator. Montour clefeatedhim in Lonfrrcnrc. Jn i860, Columbia county in structed her conferees to sunnort Hon. M. E.Jackson, of Berwick. iSlontour ihfcated nun in Conference. Jn ISoS, Columbia coun ty instructed for Hon. L. L. Tate, for State Senator. Montour defeated him in Confer enee, and now in 1800 Columbia, after a des perate struggle for the nomination, present ted him again for nomination, and Montour refuses to give him one vote is confer ence ! Is it to be wondered at that she should, after these repeated wrong, assert her rights? Not at all. And we think every Columbia countv Democrat, should aid ho.r in doinrr so. It will teach men who have been enga ged in Tolftical trafficking for years, that there should be honor in politics as well as in matters of business. As tothecandidates we have nothing to saw Mr. Chalfant, is a gentleman of ability. The samccan be said of the gentleman whose name now no:ts at our mast-head. The question therefore reverts back to the people, and wc shalt be content with their decision, as it shall be rendered at the ballot-box. Berxcicfc Gazette. "Stick to the Ticket." This is the true Democratic doctrine ; and the Democrats of Columbia and Montour will adhere to it It was arranged, as all know, that Montour should have the Repre sentative, that county agreeing that Colum bia should have the Senator ; but after Co lumbia generously gave the Representative to Montour, she, or rather the Pipcday.rs of that county, quietly and coolly ignored the arrangement. There is an old adage that, "when rogues fall out, honest men get their dues ;" but this is a different case. It is a case of quarrel between honest men and (political) rogues. Col. Tate, according to the immemorial usage of the party in such cases, has leen placed in regular nomina tion, and the Democracy of Columbia and Montour will see that he is elected. Hiester Clymer. This gentleman is canvassing the State most thoroughly, and u mating warm and true friends wherever he goes. lie addressed a large gathering of the Democracy and con servative masses on Saturday last, at Sun bury, and on Monday following, at Little York. We had hoped that he would be able to f isit this county before the election, but it will be impossible for him to do so. No candidate was ever more enthusiastically received by the great masses of the people, throughout the whole State, than is IJiesteb Clymeu, wherever he ppeaks. His election looks encouraging, and there is no doubt of his success. Hon Chas. R Duckalcw in Lock Haven. This distinguished Tcnnylvanian, being a casual visitor to Clinton County and the guet of Theodore "W right, was serenaded on Thursday evening last by his Democratic friends. In reponsc to continued calls he made a speech in which the great issues of the day were handled wiih his accustomed clearness, force, and ability. His arguments were backed up by citations of facts from curaent political history, which gave them that additional weight with which a sledge hammer blow is supposed to enforce on apt rejoinder. Senator Ruekalew's manner of speaking is exceedingly cool and-deliheratc aud carries with it the idea of profound self conviction. No man who gave him atten tion could fail to be impressed with the irruve character of this politieal-cmvass, and the importance of a change in the complexion of the next Congress, llis speech was well re ceived, particularly his endorsement of Hies ter Clymer and his eloquent appeal lor the Union ; and it may also be added that it met the high enconium of all fair-minded Re publicans who heard it, which is no light praise.
