-t.f.T, .Vwrattet!- Democratic' journals and
laadcrs are' cov-a-days : complaining of the
e,!-;on3 and vayyardnes3 of the people in
continuing their rapport to a political party
irMch is' manifestly bent on the complete de
struction of the free White mau'u government,
established 7 our forefathers. But we must
tea these Democratic leaders that the fault
fcrnore theirs than the people. - .They have
been doing all they could for five or six years
to educate the people in" this Black Republi
can abomination of .Royalty:"; If the thing
now called by "this kingly name of loyalty, is
right, then the ' Black Republican party is
rights then the' people are, right in support
ing that party,"and the Democrats are wrong
in opposing it Jit the Abolitionists have a
riiht to overthrow the government of States,
and to eabjugate white men, for. the purpose
of redncin g them to an equality with negroes,
then , they, have a right to- all the natural
fruits of that subjugation. 'The holding: of
States iiirftiaft'on canbe no greater crime
than the very act of subjugating, and when
yon' have' educated the people to believe that
the" one is right, it will take a long time to
persuade, their common sense that the other
ia wrong!". If you. may deprive any people
of tha right' of self-governmont for a single
hour," you may for a day, if for a day, for a
weekj if. for a.week, for a month, if for a
jnonth,' for a year, if for a year, for all time.
The principle admitted for any time, is good
for all time. These Democratic leaders went
ovtx "themselves into the filthy slougV of
"Black .-Republican hyalism alias despotism,
alias devilism of eTery infernal type, and did
their utmost to "drag them out again with
just about the same kind of ropes or princi
ples, with which they dragged them in. Vain
attempt ! Worse' than vain to expect to
drag the people W of the Abolition slough
with Abolition ropes L If the Democratic
party is ever to return to power, it must be
through other, agency, and by other leadership-;
than that which, carried it over to the
support of its j enemies. The organization,
the machinery of .the party, is worn out and
broken in the service of its enemies. It
smells at once of the stench, of negroes and
tha blood of white men 1 It is loathsome to
every Democrat, that is, to every Democrat
who has refused to be a party to the stupen
dous crime of the Abolition war. If the
Democratic party, we. say, ever returns to
power, it must be by other means than this
old filthyr renal, bloody, negroized machin
ery of the party organization. , The Demo
cratic principle is not hurt . It is as bright,
as pure and glorious as when it started in the
great struggle of 1T7S. - Give it a party ma
chineryworthy of its strength, and it will
draw forth again, the -popular enthusiasm
which was always the forerunner and com
panion of victory. Do we believe it poss:
bll for the party to achieve success through
the leadership of the very men by whom it
has been sold 1. The return of the Democrat
ic party or rather of the Democratic princi
ple to power, (for after all, that is the only
question worth contending for,) must never
be looked for on this prostituted, bloody,ne-gro-worshipping
basis of loyalty. r The De
mocracy of the .United States was always
pnrely white. - It can never return to power
except as a white mans party. The attempt
to make it a mulatto party, or something be
tween a white man and a negro, has resulted
in nothing 'but disgraceful and continuous
defeat "These cunning or rather foolish
leaders have been trying to split the differ
ence between a white man and a negro, and
the result is,"that tlrey have made political
Mongrels of themselves. What we want,
what we must have, nay, what we will have,
is a purely white mans partyl A party based
tipdn- white supremacy, on precisely the same
foundations ' which were laid down by the
wise and palriotic founders of this govern
ment is the only organization which can suc
cessfully cope with the negroarty. To con
cede" anything .to such a party is to give
away a portion of our strength. The wider
.the gulf between us and, them,ths stronger
shall we "be. ..This attempt to' squat upon
their grounds is both a folly and a crime. The
Black Republican party hold3 the negro and
all that belongs to him in fee simple, and fnr
the democratic party to attempt to get pos
session :of any part of his body, Is to play
.the jpart of a thief and a fool at the same
time. "- This sort of thing has been going on
now for several years under the present in
competent and venal leadership of the par
ty, with only this result the demoralization
of our own forces.
V. These . considerations have led us to sup
port the proposition for an early great con
vention of the true old Democracy of the
States a genuine Democratic convention,
where the people of all the States may meet
on terms of perfect equality. ." Not such a
bastard ' concern" as that of Philadelphia,
where the marplots of one section held their
bloody hands over the voiceless mouths and
choked throats of the 'other section, reading
them lessons of reproof and submission.
Such a convention, was a disgrace to Democracy-
and an insult to freemen; If there is
any man who bore, a prominent part ia it,
who is not- already .ashamed of both its ac
tion and its results,; let us believe that he is
jast blushiEg. It was to doubt amusing to
fcede to set; the white' State of South Caro
lina hugging with the black State of .Massa
chusetts, but to as it was far, from amusing,
because we knew thafftherpolitical offspring
tern of rach an" embrace "could be nothing
tS a 2Iongret braL' ; T-Irs." Carolina has ad-c-JcotLiato
her chaste', reputation' for
t!ut U;:.l3 'love-makirg The Democracy,br
- r
vention, was certainly not whiter than a mu
Ulto. But there are real white men in Mass-"
achusettsas in all the Kew Ec3land States
plenty of them end hop-3 that such,
and only sueh will 50 to the great Conven
tion of the".Sutes to" be' held in"Kentucky
next Spring. ' Every stripe of black and
mulatto politicians have been holding their
Conventions all around ; but let the Democ
racy have, at least, one Convention of gen
uine white-politicians. A Convention of
brave and true patriots, who ' acknowledge
nothing to repent of on the ' one hand, nor
claim the right to exercise forgiveness on the
other." There-ought to be hall a million of
real white "men in conference on that occa
sion." Such a Convention might start an
enthusiasm which will arouse the spleepy ear
of the old Democracy again, and give us at
least one campaign in which Democrats shall
not be in doubt whether they are running a
Democrats or a Black Republican platform.
Let us have a Convention of white men,
who want th e bid Union our forefathers made,
and who prefer the Constitution as it came
from the hands of Washington Jefferson,
and the patriots of the Revolution, to the
ragged," negro-looking thing as it passes out
of the hands of Thad. Stevens, Sumner, and
Ben. Butler. The issue is a plain one. Let
the call be for a Convention of all who want
the Union as it was and the Constitution as
it teas."- Those who believe that Thad. Ste
vens and Ben. ' Butler can mend the work of
Washington and Jefferson, must take, at
least, a back seat in such a Convention. Let
those. who are foolish enough to think that
they can hold the "Radical". bull by thefat'Z
try their hand in another' place. Let this
Convention be for those who mean to seize
the beast by the horns. X. Y. Day Book.
Another Paper,
Are the Democrats of Columbia County
going to burden themselves with another
newspaper ? ' They already support two
the Democrat and Star and the Berwick
Gazette which is a sufficient tax' upon the
party, l ou encourage and start another
paper and many Democrats of the County
will be persuaded to take two copies while
they now get along with one, and save half
the expense. It will increase the taxes of
the County for its support in this way : The
County Commissioners will be obliged to pay
the new paper in the neighborhood of one
hundred and fifty dollars for publishing
County matter. The two papers are now re
ceiving but a small sum from the County,
considering the amount of advertising done ;
consequently you cannot expect to cut down
the price of advertising on the two and give
the amount shaved off to the new concern,
but must pay that paper an amount equal to
that received by the others. This will in
crease the taxes. It cannot he otherwise.
On the other hand, how is the third paper
to effect candidates? Our best County Offices
do not more than pay a man a fair living,
and if he is to be burdened down with news
paper, ticket and advertising bills, he had
better not be a candidate. The new paper,
we understand, is intended to be Democratic ;
therefore candidates will be obliged to pub
lish their announcement "card" in it as well
as in the other two ; besides this third paper
will come and claim money from each and
every candidate for ticket?, &c Have the
people thought of all these things? We
think not Will they thu3 stand still and
see the County Treasury and their own pock
ets leached out of money, unnecessarily ? Or
will they say, at once, to these dissatisfied
individuals, who aim at the destruction more
than the welfare of the Democratic rarty,
that they will not give aid or countenance
the enterprise ? They must see that no good
can grow out of a third paper. We told the
people that no good to the Democratic party
could come out of the starting of the Colum
bian, and what has been the result? Simply
what we predicted. Some of our pretended
Democratic friends found fault with us for
thu3 speaking out in school. To-day they
desire to foist a third paper upon the Dem
ocratic parr of this county. More next week.
15T Simon "Wig Waged," and the Co
lumbia County Republican "Wig Waged''
ikelf into the support of the "Old Winne
bago," for United States Senator. The Re
publican scraped about all over to find some
thing commendable of the "Old Chief," to.
tell it3 readers. It made up very weak ar
gument in his favor. Had the Republican
simply said that Camehon possessed a very
large amount of cash, and that was his chief
and only qualification for the office of Sena
tor, it would have told the whole story.
Take away this qualification and what has he
left to commend him to the office of Senator.
Can he be compared with Curtin, Forney
Grow,. Stevens, Penny, McClure, and
others, in point of ability ? He is the weak
est man we have mentioned, in a legislative
point of view as well as otherwise. Besides
he is the most dishonest and not to be trust
ed. Yet the Republican is supporting him
and "goes back" on the "soldiers' friend."
We would much rather that Mr. Cowan
be returned instead of seeing one of the
above named gentlemen elected. But if we
are to have an Abolitionist give us one of
honesty and ability, if such a person caii be
found in the Abolition ranks. We want no
trafficker in "dried herring," "Scotch Ale,"
and "straw hat3."
. : SA Sad Occurrence.
On Thursday afternoon, last as Mr. Henry
Culp, of Nazareth, Northampton county,
was getting measured for some clothing, at
Johnson & Co's. Store, on Northampton
street, in this borouf! he became suddenly
ill and in a few moments, lost all consciousness.-
He was placed on a settee "and car
ried to the American Hotel, where he died
about three hours afterwards. .
A messenger was immediately sent to Na
zareth, to bear the sad news to his family.
When he arrived there he found Mr. C.'s
late home already a house of mourning
his little daughter, about 12 years of age,
having died suddenly that evening, just about
the time her father breathed his last breath.
Truly, the hand of God fell heavy on this
afflicted family, and a large circle of sympa
thizing, friends mourn T with jthem in their
bereavement Mr Culp. was the son-ii3aw

Hiester Clymer and the Duties
I r of the Hour, f 17- &
" The defeat at the recent election of. a man
of ; the 'genius, , ability and 'patriotism of
Hiester ,ClymeT, a scion acd representative
of Berks, and of the , men whornad9 "us a
nation, for the position of Chief Magistrate
of Pennsylvania, and 'at- such a time, is a
calamity yet to be appreciated- But let us
wait and see, and watch rather than "specu
late upon the future.
A point to be guarded just now,- and from
now into the future,' is to see that bis defeat
is not made the pretext for hereafter putting
up candidates of opposite character upon
the swindling plea of "availability" the
buccaneer plan of winning (the offices and
power) to the sacrifice of principle in general
and public integrity in particular. As to
Mrv Clymer personally, we know that the
office of Governor never "had any particular
attractions for him, and he never pushed
himself as a candidate for nomination. lie
desired it for no other object than to sub
serve the best interests 0? his country gen
erallyto establish peace and confirm equal
and exact justice to all, and to carry out to
the letter the true intent and meaning of
the Democratic principles upon which this
Government was founded and which are now
discarded in "all our official "ministrations.
His long services in the State Senate enabled
him to know. the corruptions that are sap
ping the vitals of the body politic, and he
felt that if elected he would eradicate them.
He would, have turned out the "money
changers" from our Legislative halls and
other public places, and would have purified
governmental morals. He would have erected
so high a standard of Executive motive and
action that for generations to come the name
of our noble old Commonwealth would have
been the synonym of public virtue and mor
ality. He would have developed a healthy,
hearty love of State a pride in the mere
fact that we are sons of Pennsylvania. The
accomplishment of these ends would have
been his great glory and reward. ,
To carry his election for these purposes
Mr. Clymer made such effort as never was
made in this State before. He made more
than fifty speeches of two to three hours
duration within six weeks immediately pre
ceding the election. No honorable effort
wa3 neglected. But fraud came and bare
defeat followed. We know he has no per
sonal regrets. Personal ambition, except to
discharge . well his whole duty to his coun
try, he has none it lies buried in the 'graves
of his children. He will take his place in
the ranks of his party and as cheerfully dis
charge his whole duty to his country as a
private as he could do were he commander
in-chief. If the Nation is not given up to
anarchy the da' must come when it will be
saved and purified by the principles he ad
vocated. Then will come the day of Hiester
Clynier's practical triumph, and then public
and private virtues such as he possesses will
be honored and respected throughout the
land.
The State must be redeemed at the LaUot
box and disenthralled from the government
of fanatics, corruptionists and rouges per
manent and ephemeral. If this can not be
done, we must consent to be ruled, under a
subverted and oppressive government by
New England fanaticism, corruption and
tyrranny-7 leave the country or maintain our
right3 by the strong wills and powers that
God and Nature have given U3. These are
the only alternatives.
Let Democrats work unceasingly to edu
cate their children, as well as the adult pop
ulation, to hate and abhor fanaticism as the
worst and most destructive of political ills.
Encourage the Church, of whatever per
suasion, to' inculcate and by every means
promote pure Christianity, but every where
and from the house tops denounce the scoun
drels who attempt to corrupt and debauch
it by mixing purely worldly things with it,
and especially the vile men who dare to hiss
libels from the pulpits. So far as in your
power lies, see that every family possesses a
Democratic newspaper, that is faithful in
principle and never j-ields to temporary ex
pedients for ephemeral suecessr-one that
ever hates and denounces error in all forms
and maintains an open and bold attitude that
is never doubtful. Distribute Democratic
speeches and documents whenever you can
get them. Talk constantly to . your neigh
bors. Harrow up the evils that are upon
us and steadily keep them in full view. Look
to your taxes of all kinds, direct and indi
rect, and be sure that ever man under
stands that he is paying and why he pays
them. Never put a stamp on any paper
without profoundly impressing upon your
mind that it is tribute you are paying to the
Yankee "Abolitionists, the impudent and fa
natical meddlers into thing3 that were not
any of their business. As far as you can,
educate every body to hate error, oppression,
meddlers,, fanatics and all other rascals and
robbers of money or of peace and quietness.
Be firm, determined, vigilant, unyielding in
your ancient principles. Let not our past
defeats discourage us ; a party that can
maintain its integrity, individuality and
strength during the times of terror and de
feat, as the Democracy have done, can
never be conquered, and is little less power
ful than the majority with the Government
wrongly administered, at its back. Our de
liverance is at hand be of good cheer.
Stand firmly by our faithful and able men,
and put none forward for office who are
not competent and trustworthy. If com
promisers come bothering about you cling
the firmer to your ancient customs. Sus
tain such men as Hiester Clymer and they
will sustain your principles and save the
country. Clinton Democrat.

however be known by the vignette of Chief
The Democracy of the West, i
If their isone principle more deeply in
terwoven with .the .fabric of Western De
mocracy than anotber,it : is that of opposi
tion to the elevation of the "negroes to full
political equality with white men. The leg
islation of all the States in which they have
had a majority proves this fact - Nowhere
in the free States have the. laws regulating
tke negro race been so radical and far-reach
ing as in the West, and nowhere have they
been so uniformly enforced. ; . While the civ
il rights of the negro we respected and guard
ed, he has not been permitted to approach
the ballot-box or to become a portion of the
governing class. When these facts are ta
ken into cosideration, it is not wonderful that
the movement of the Chicago Times should
create a decided sensation among the De
nioraey in that section of the Union. The
people en masse are opposed to the new po
sition of the Times, and the Democratic
journals are unanimous in their denuncia
tion of this abandonment of one of the car
dinal points in the Democratic faith. The
Illinois Democratic' country press, in par
ticular, do not sympathize with the Times
since . its apostasy from the old land
marks of the party. If . Democracy had
any cardinal principle at all, it was unquali
fied opposition to negro suffrage in all forms.
The. Times is not going to take any consid
erable body of the Democracy into the camp
of the Eadicals. ' The Ottawa Free Trader,
after declaring the Times' proposition "bru
tally insulting" to the Democracy, adds :
We could respect the Times even yet, if it
made professions of an honest conversion ;
but to be a turncoat from no higher motive
than a cold, selfish, hypocritical, time-serving
expediency, is more than contemptible.
It" the Times has determined to cut loose
from the Democratic party, why, much as
we shall miss the keen, caust ic pen of Storev,
we can only saj in the language of the
great Mose, "let'er went" It has said
many good things, and some bad ones. Al
ways dictorial, it a3 often chilled as it warm
ed the life-bkKd of the Democracy. We
shall try to survive its loss.
The Cairo Democrat declares that "the
Times is not a favorite with the Democracy
of 'Egypt.' It may teach the weak to bend
in Chicago, but it will have no influence to 1
change the sentiments of the Democrats in
thatpartof theState." TheBureau County
Patriot also repudiates the course of the
Times upon the negro-suffrage issue,, and
announces the conclusion of the Democracy
of that region to stand on a white man's
platform, and "fight it out on that line,"
whether victory eomes early or late.
These expressions of Democratic princi
ciples from the West show that the attempt
to fire the camp of the Democracy by the
negro-suffrage torch has failed in that part of
the cunotry. The Democracy will not agree
that the foundations of the constitutional
party, laid by Jefferson and his illustrious
associates, shall be undermined by the dark
and turbid stream of exdediency on the nc
gro suffrage question. They know the first
surrender of principles will lead to others,
until all the distinctive ruaiks of the party
will be destroyed. If for expediency, for
the poor and beggarly pittance of a few offi
ces, the Democratic party yield to this fanat
ical spirit on the negro question, the next
demand will be that they abandon their po
sition on the tariff issue, on the currency
question, and all others upon which they an
tagonize the ruling and dominant faction.
The position of the Times is in advance in
that direction. If the Democratic forces are
moved to that point, the transfercanbemore
easily made, and a union consummated by
which the time-honored flag of the Democ
racy will be trailed in the dust, and the ban
ner of bigotry and fanaticism will be raised
in its place.
This movement has been repudiated by
the sterling Democracy of the West in most
unmistakable terms. They will notabandon
their old principles, orstrike hands with such
men as Butler and Stevens and Sumner and
Wade and Phillips in their efforts to destroy
the Union and the Ilepublic at the same
blow. They will not sever themsclve from
the party of the Union upon this issue. Il
linois will not abandon Pennsylvania in the
hour of danger to white men and their lib
erties. The old platform of the Democracy
is still broad and strong enough to hold the
party iu all sections of the country. In this
Slate the Democracy are opposed to negro
suffrage and equality. Upon this issue there
can be no compromise. The tone of the
Western press shows that the same senti
ment and spirit of determination prevades
the ranks of our Western brethren. A few
may waver and talk of concession. The
many are as fixed as fate. Thus united the
truth must prevail at last. If the Demo
cratic party remains a unit, they can weath
er the storm of bigotry now howling through
the land, and preserve those liberties which
for more than half a century were guarded
by Democratic men and fostered by Demo
cratic measures. Age.

Letter from Hon. Levi I.' Tate.
, To the Editors of the Democrat dnd Star :
Mr. David B. Montgomery having favored
your readers last week with another budget
of blunders, in relation tois action in the
late Senatorial Conference, in which there
are so many perversions of the truth, that I
deem it proper, (if not profitable,) by way
of amusement, to correct some of his falla
cies and leave him in his proper attitude
upon the record before the people. No ad
vantage shall be taken of his intimation,
that it was the last he would write, as I am
willing to accord to him every facility he may
desire to explain away his inexplicable posi
tion before the Democracy of the Fifteenth
Senatorial District. Beyond this, I can as
sure the public that I consider him unworthy
of further notice. .
In a former . communication,' I charged
Mr. Montgomery, with having violated his
instruction, as given by the Northumberland
County Democratic Convention, and also
with breaking his own oft-repeated public
pledge. He has thus far, totally failed to
exonerate himself from either charge, and
of course, stands convicted of both. This
is rather an unenviable position in which to
place a political trickster.
1 regret the necessity of correcting two j
tintruths in Mr. Montgomery's last letter.
He says that I claimed that the Conferees of
Northumberland County, were instructed to
vote for me (Tate) for Senator. I said no
such thing, Mr. Montgomery. I printed
your resolution of instructions, and showed
most conclusively, that according to its let
ter and spirit, you had no authority to vote,
at any time, out of the counties of Columbia
and Montour. I never said ' you were in
structed to vote for me, and hence the as
sertion is incorrect. Albeit, the Sunbury
Democrat did publish that the Conferees of
that county were instructed to support Mr.
Tate's nomination for State Senator, and
Air. Montgomery only attempted its eva
sion, by replying that "Mr. Purdy was mis
taken." And this was manifestly the plain
duty of Mr. M., as I fairly carried Colum
bia County, and his instructions legitimacy
bound him only to vote for a Columbia or
Montour candidate.
I quote another untruth from Mr. Mont
gomery's last letter, which is "says Mr.
Tate, voting for me two days, as you did, is
not sufficient." I am impelled by truth, Mr.
M., to pronounce the above assertion equally
fallacious. You do not deny that you said
before many witnesses, you would "vote a
week, if necessary, for Colonel Tate." In
less than two days, and at the very first op
portunity that presented itself for the be
trayal of your trust-xcept in favor of Mon
tour you struck down the Democracy of
Columbia. Was this your kindness to a
friend? Was this the way you kept your
word ; or is this the extent of your fidelity?
Another quotation. "I repeat," says Mr.
Montgomery, "that I was instructed by the
people of Northumberland County to vote
for Mr. Ent." What philosophy for an Ex
Senator! Instructed to vote for a man who
was not a candidate. But, I suppose his
"wirh was father to the thought," and as
Mr. Ent's name was not before the Confer
ence, Mr. Montgomery concluded that he
would vote for his next friend, the gentle
man from Sullivan, and thus fulfilling the
a-rsertion, that Mr. Montgomery would vote
for any man Mr. Ent required. Aud this is
a partial development of the coalition exist
ing between Messrs. Ent and Montgomery,
for the control of the Democratic Party of
Columbia and Northumberland Counties,
neither of whom have the spirit or liberality
to patronize the Democratic organs of their
respective counties, and to which I may add,
they are both indebted for all they have and
are or ever will be.
Mr. Montgomery's cant about the pleas
ure it would have afforded him, had he an
opportunity, of voting for Mr. McNinch,
is duly understood, and can pass for what
it is worth. Mr. MeNinch's friends, wo
speak advisedly, only request Mr. Montgom
ery not to misrepresent them again by say
ing that " they all conceded this (Nor
thumberland) County in favor of Mr. Ent"
Truth and candor are always the most effect
ive means of conciliation.
And if there is anything more wrote or to
be written, for your immortalization on the
historic page, please advise me and it shall
be promptly attended to, friend Montgom
ery. For instance, have you made those
Eagles squeak with your eloquence, while
occupying one of those finely cushioned
seat, for the past three years, in the Senate
Chamber at Harrisburg, in proving your
"devotion to the record," and maintaining
the "truth of history."
Very respect full v,
