Neither does the uneasy farmer who is
constantly moving or talking about moving
totnetrlicre to find rich land. Concrally
flaking, the migrating man belongs to
that class who are careless of the soil, ri
haust it for the present crops without un
eye lo the futuie. His hands are heavily
taxed by injudicious fttnnagimrnt, and
having secured the value ol labor bestowed
in clearing tliem, he is left with a crippled
plantation, yielding but a poor crop. To
move in quest ot the virgin soil again,
but incurring heavy expenses, hard labor,
loss of lime, deprivations innumerable, be
sides parting with the old homestead for a
meie trifle, when he could soon make it
rich and productive, if he would but feed it
with half the care he feeds his own imagi
nation upon some visionary scheme of
growing rich in "Y'A (teredo," to which he

that iHx-d'css disturbances of tho public

To the Democracy of Union County.
Fellow Citizens s
It has become our
duly to address you, briefly but plainly, on
ihe subject of your political rights and the
present posture ol your political anairs
We are Democrats, deeply attached to the
principles and usages ol the Democratic
uartv. But we have witnessed an attempt
in this Commonwealth lo crush these
principles by the power of money, and
pervert, by low, corrupt intrigue, the limc-
honotcd organization ol the iiemocraiic
party into an engine which shall destroy
the sacred rights ol the people.
The (action which has attempted and is
now endeavoring lo perpetrate this political
fraud, has been for years laying its plans,
drilling its forces, and perfecting its organ
ization ; an organization which if success
fully established, must result in the com
plete destruction of the Democratic party.
The first manifestation of its designs and
mode of accomplishing them, was seen in
ihe year 1845, when the organization of
the Democratic party was broken, and lis
regular nominee defeated, and Simon Cam
eron was elected lo the V. S. Senate by
W hi votes he being a democrat in name
but lalsc lo the spirit and obligations oi De
mocracy. The brilicry attempted at the
late Y'illiamort Convention, furnishes
another illustration of the operations and
spirit of this same faction. Docs this (ac
tion still exist? Look at the lale delegate
election in I'hilad.'a county, (see the Penn-
svlvanian of Aug. I2ih,) where Wm. is
Rankin of Williamsport notoriety, acted as
inspector, and tried to cheat Democrats out
of I heir vo'es, and that loo for the apparent
purpose of betraying ihe poll lira I power
and influence ol lhat District into ihe hands
of this samo faction. Look too at Mifllin
countv. where intrigue has been trimn-
iihint.and where allegiance to Simon Cam
eron is arrogantly proclaimed as the true
test of Democracy.
But, Fellow Citizen, our more impor
tant and immediate business is nearer
home. Here in Uoion county this same
faction has alien pled by disreputable
means to override and suppress populur
pinion, end defeat the people s will. But
they have taken one step too many, and
overreached themselves ; they have added
the final weight to a burthen lhal had ul-
ready become oppressive, and will now no
longer be borne in silent submission. e
have arrived at a crisis in our local politi
cal aflitirs when il U hooves us lo be on
the alert, and firmly lo resist encroach
ments upon our ri"hts and liberty. This
combination of dcsiicrate politicians, a
leading branch of which is located in this
county, is evidently prepared to sacrifice
every principle ol Democracy, in order to
accomplish their selfish and mercenary
purposes, woi satiMieo who i-nric ,,p

ficial influence, ihey now turn around and
use the very means and influence thus ac
quired to diroy .Ice purny, and value of
the delegate system, suppress the voice of
the people, and subvert that great Demo-
crane pany inrougn wmcn mey uoiaineu
such large emoluments. Their own sel
fish interests is tho exclusive object of
their pursuit. They do not, in reality,
profess lo regard llie principles and usages
of llie Democratic parly, any further than
ihey can use them for iheir own purposes.
Priding lla mselves (al lenst the Chief of
llie faction in this county.) upon their pe
cuniary resources, as the only political or
social principle ol any value, antl practi
callv disregarding all others, ihey seem to
consider themselves entirely above, ami in-
dependent of, the rigl.Ls, and opinions, and
interests of the masses of ihe eoplc and
Itxik down uK.n those fights and opinions
- I I I '
consider themselves entirely above, and in-
with cool and coiitemiituous indifference,
and trample iion lla-m, w hen it suits them
lo do so, with purse-proud, reckless inso
lence. These hamc men, as is well known,
have lor years past exerted every means
in iheir power lo control llio elections of
our Slate for sinister and mercenary pur
pose;, and have invariably opposed tlie
nominires of ihe parly, when such as
could not be controlled and used by tliem.
The same game was lately tried in this
county.
To provo this we need only refer lo ihe
recent delegate elections, and the proceed
ings of the self-styled Democratic Conven
tion held in tlie Court House in New Ber
lin, on tlie 12trrwst. So strong was the
evidence of fraud and misrepresentation,
and the common opinion of tho gross in
justice crpet rated m acting lhat conven
tion, that fourteen out of forty delegates re
fused lo go into ihe convention, and it is
notorious lhat the wislies and preferences
of at least four or fivo districts for whom
delegates were present, were totally mis
represented in llie action of the convention.
Il is so notorious as to need no argument
lhat the voles given for the Congressional
candidal by the delegates from Kelly .Lew
isburg, Ivist Buflulo.Centrevillc and lute
Divr, were directly the opposite of llie
wishes of the iieople of those districts, and
if a fair, and open, and honorable choice
of delegates had lieen made, no delegate in
lavor of that candidate coulo ever have been
elected. But as Mai. Cummings candidly
confessed, in his speech to .the convention,
..... ...I. ..... .n.,., ni ,
selection of those delegates was undeniably
llie wora ol this same faction
Conscious that both themselves, and llm
candidate for whom ihey were secretly
working, stood no chance at a fair eleclion,
ihey sel lo work and carried their poinl by
trickery and deception in some cases hur
rying llie electa to a close long before a
proper time ; iu others, getting men to
serve as delegates under false pretences ;
ami m others pledging themselves to a
course Ihc very opposite of that which ihey
afterwards pursued. In one district bring,
ing single delegate lo act for two, who
j was himself hardly a citizen, if bis resi
dence was not actually in an adjoining
county; and in others cair) ing their del
egates under circumstances that aroused
ihc indignation of the upright and lionesi
democrats of the districts who were thus
disfranchised. In lwiaburg for instance,
the leaders of this faction, atraid to trust
themselves in the bands ol llie people, se
cretly pitched upon two persons for dele
gates, I in opposition to ihe people's ticket
of tried and trusty men,) one ol whom had
not yet established a political character,
and ihe other an avowed whig. They de
dared themselves to some in favor of the
same Congressional candidate supported
by the ma.a of the party in Lewisburg,
and also give most solemn pledges lliul
they never would vote lor Jack bumming-,
lnus deceiving many ol the voters. They
prevented the eleclion being held by ha I
lot, thus depriving tho voters of a right

cuharly situated, who were thus forced lo ; t.ciicrul ! 1 hus proving to ine worldlier

climax, as soon us the election closed und
ihey found they had managed to carry the
day, (quite a number ul the best Democrats
in the District, who were present, being so
disgusted with the proceedings that they
refused to vote at all,) they immediately
voted down a resolution of instructions in
favor of the very candidate for Congress
whom Ihey had just bcloie most eurnestly
professed lo suporl thus speedily prov
ing the falsity ol Iheir own professions.
In West Beaver, whigs were permuted
to vote so as to give this lactiou the dele
gates. In Ceutrevillu li.ey lushed in their
voles al an early hour, and then forcibly
closed ihe election by driving the president
fro.n bis chair, thus preventing the friends
of Ihc opposite candidate from tolling Ibeir
strength ; they iIk.ii lore up the tally aper
and declared their own men duly elected
and made out their credentials! and with
these facts staring them in the face, they
were admitted as delegates by Ihe conveu
li n.
We have no objection to the vote re
ceived in Convention by Maj. Cuinmings,
so litr as it rightfully belonged to him.
M.ij. Cumiinngs, as well as every other
man, is entitled lo all the political influence
and popularity he cau command, ur muv
lairly acquire. But we protest against llie
-action ol i he convent iou in nominating him,
and repudiate its doings, because, as we
have shown, that convention was but a
fragment, aud in any aspeci.ils action was
llul the voice of the Democracy of IJuioii
county. And we do nut charge this re

appointment of conferees for this county ;
regarding it as a gross violation of popular
rights. These conlcrces ought lo repre-

morally, and with this splendid team com
mence his race through ihc old 13th Con
gressional district. Ol one thing ho may
be certain all true Democrats will "clear
liie track !"'
We protest against the action of this
convention in appointing a delegate lo the
next 4th oi March Slate convention, as be
ing premature at this limu ; a doubtful
democrat having been selected, and no in
structions given. Making it evident lo our
minds, that ihe design is lo play "last and
loose lo suit the interests of ibis faction,
and, if needs be, sacrifice Col. Bigler, al
though he is Ihe decided choice of nine
tenths of llio Iemocracy of Union county.
We protest against this self-styled Dem
ocratic convention, and its doings, and re
fuse lo recognize it believing lhat it is
substantially the result of ihc corrupt in
trigues of this faction, and does not express
ihe voice of the democracy of this counly.
And now, Fellow Citizens, shall wo longer
submit to be ihus cheated out of our rights
as members of the Democratic parly, bv a

We arc neither slaves nor cowards! and
in Ihe full confidence of the uprightness of
our course, wo have resolved lo wage an
open and organized warfare iqion Ihts fac
tion (without regard lo consequences, and
in defiance of ihe threats which ihey have
already dared lo level at us) until the sins
of ihc past arc atoned for, and we are fully
restored lo ihc equal rights and privileges
which belong to us as members of the
Democratic party.
Do you want illustrations ol the necessi
ty ami propriety of this course ; or have
yon d.Mjht of it ! L,,R at ,c IMjjcy and
deeds of this name faction, whose desnnlie

They profess to le llemocrhts, jet al
ways oppose the parly, and defeat, or try
to defeat its candidates, whenever it u w
their puroes. To prove this assertion,
and justify our present course, we me-l
not go further buck ih.m ihe New Berlin
eonvi n'ion, where this faction passed bat
two resolutions one in relation lo the nr
Presidency ; and ihe other lo bolster nrr"

he New Berlin convention resolved to
live their unflinching support ' lo their
own doings, we have determined In array
ourselves in an equally firm and "unflinch

fully controlled it. To this determination
we shall inflexibly adhere.
