ArtiUST BELMONT,
FREDIIicK 0. PRINCE, Secretary.
Washington, February .22, ;MS.
Candi(!alert for Leirfilature.
By reference to our "Political" column, it
will be seen that K .1. McHenry and Cyrus
3lellenry, candidates for nomination to
the Legislature, have withdrawn, and recom
mend as the most suitable person for that
purpose, Col. Hiram It. Kline, of Orange,
township. Their object in doing so, is to
secure perfect harmony and unity of action
in tie party, this fall, and we have no doubt
:he people will appreciate such noble Ml
pukes. Our whole strength should be Ivied
against the enemy, and not against each
other. Col. Kline is well known to the
County, having served one term in the Leg
islature, and requires no commendation at
our hands. .%s yet, no candidate has beim
proposed against him, nor is it likely that
he will meet with any serious opposition.
The above is - taken from last week's Ca
seeder +. It will be seen that the Me!Un
lit/ have withdrawn a. candidates for As
vinbly, and recommended in their stead,
"as the most suitable person for that posi
?4,n, Cul. 'him" It. KLINE, of Orange."
Now. have these men the right to Ray who
t:te I►emocracy should support? If they
have, it is certainly placing a great deal
of power in the hands of a few men. It'
tl•e Democracy of the county are to be gov
rimed by such action, any man might come
oat for office, a week or two, then decline
Lying any longer a candidate, and "
mend" the most objectionable man in the
county for position in his stead, and the
Democracy would be bound to stand to that
"recommendation," or be charged with
felting." This plan of making nomina
...oils in Columbia County is not yet inaugu
rated, end we trust the Democracy are not
going to eel up any such impolitic and den
germs precedent.
It is asserted that the action of these
livri EMITS in withdrawing, was to "secure
harmony and unity in the party thL.
Why was not this thought of long before?
kit this delicate and vexatious labor, on the
part of certain well known individuals, to
bring about this "harmony and unity in the
party," alight have been avoided, No such
''noble impulses" animated the monis of' th ese
Coiambion men, who seemed not to have
the interest of party at stoke last fall, when
they swarmed every township in the county,
to . arry their ends and destroy our business,
and influence as a Democrat ! They were
n ,m, willing Ara to use their "whole strength
against the enemy ," hut persistently and
vigorously used it against this paper and its
friends. The old organ of the Democracy
of Columbia County must be "run out,"—
'ground to powder"—and its friends and
supi , erters petit i4nrly defeated and destroyed.
To this end that action has labored hard
—and long—spared neither time nor money
• •and as to their success, we leave others to
judge.
flow do they suppose to comic le the
friends of this journal after charging them
with sympathising and voting with the ene
my'? • In this manlier our friends have been
slandered, and belied by men who run and
control a paper claiming to bo in the interest
of the Democratic party. These men have
used their "whole strength," tegstlier with
the influence of Senator lf re KA against
this paper and its friends, for over two yours.
They have, with their high pressure, eon•
public and prirefr patronage that
lastly belonged to this office. They have
run after, begged and solicited work from
ether offices, to our persona/ knowledge,
thing beneath the dignity of high-toned
ieurrialists. In this kind of business the
men who control the ententidea have not
altogether been aisne ! They have had their
sliders and abettors who have been ever vig
dent in the business of breaking down the
DIVOCHAT and its friends.
It :night be proper to state that the Co
lumbian was started in the interest of n fete,
lied that f; a • lives in and about Bloomsburg.
It may atm. be considered in the breaking
business At first it was intended to "break
down the R4puhfierin," that it might con
trol public patronage, and not succeeding in
bePakipy down that paper, but finally get
ting a swk of ate or two public teats, and
then to still better its condition, with a hope
of a lunges life, it shifted its sails and is now
attempting to navigate Democratic waters.
After shoving their barque into the open
sea they immediately commenced firing up
on the Deansiratic organ of this county, but
with little effect • This tire his been quietly
and regulotrly kept up by that faction for

on account of the arrangement made between
Jack and Cyrus McHenry oonomming the
matter of a candidate for Assembly, ant by
your permission I would Hite to make a
statement of the facts of the cue so far as
I have boon able to learn them, so that no
injustice may be done to any ono who may
bo a candidate for' that position ; and also
an that there may be no fraud practiced up
on the people of Columbia County, and par
ticularly upon the people of this township,
who are perhaps more immediately connected
with the affair, and who aro, and have been
itery anxious to make some Larrangetcgratty
which unity in the Democratic vertr,ef
Columbia could be again brought'abnut.
a greatTerpleaity at any . .tltne to have a
division in our party, whiob for years pact,
until quite reeently,ints been eo unanimous
in all respects, hart to have afliviaion attfrie
time when wemre engaged in It Preaidessial
campaign in vhielctheni ate que.eiteas of
greater import than were ever Were Invol
ved in any campaign, and tie to be prece
ded by an important state election, for
officers of the State, one of the candidates
for Oriels M a resident of our own county,
is exceedingly perplexing. This is certainly
a time when''harmony" should abide with
us. But harmony cannot exist between
christinnity and idolatry, nor can it exist be
tween the robber and the 'person robbed ;
and if it were possible for "harmony" to
exist under such circumstances it would be
a harmony which would result in the over
throw of every principle of christianity,
morality and government ; a harmony that
would fill our land with bribed Legislators,
with perjurers, and murderers, causing the
whole political system of' the world to van
ish and give place to anarchy, the only legit
imate offspring of such harmony. Kemeny
in political parties, establiehed by bribes and
fraud, leads to endleiescroess of evil. The Re
publican party, with "harmony" of this kind
in its ranks for the short space of six years,
has burdened the L'nited States with evils
that cannot be cast off for centuries. It is
not necessary to name those evils—the off.
spring of harmonized corruption. They are
proclaimed by every Democratic paper of
the Valid, and are felt daily by every citizen.
Until this corrupt "harmony" was exposed
a year or two ago there seemed to be no
prospect of good for the future of this gov
ernment. All manner of bnbery, fraud, and
despotism was practiced ; but it became too
bold, and the Republican "harmony" was
broken. This breaking up affords an op
portunity for the triumph of Democratic
principles. And Mr. Editor, I believe if
the Democratic party had taken hold with
honesty of action two warmest), the Repub
lican party could not have lived to this day;
its history would have been written, and on
the monument erected to its infamy would
have been inscribed the dates of its origin
and death, to admonish thr world how short
the duration of harmonized fraud. But the
men who have been placed in position by
Democrats attempted at once to organize a
guerilla Democratic party, a "harmony" of
policy and deception, the same that is found
among hands of coanterfeiters, thieves, rob
bers, and murderers. The honest, true and
faithful advocates of Democracy would not
submit to bear the reproach of such infamy.
The National-Union•Policy-Seeking oreani
ration of which the embryo was laid at
the Philadelphia Convention of August,
1566, proved an abortion. No such "har
mony" could be established in the Demo•
erotic party, and it should not be, even
though ;mat men in our midst favored it.
'Ale victory of a sneak, a thief, a murderer
or a highwayman is not only disgraceful but
is ruinous. I say then, Mr. Editor, let us
not be disgraced by corruption and fraud.
!set us have a "harmony" of honest intent
—a "harmony" founded upon fairness and
jam principles, and none other. Let us
meet the enemy and conquer him. Let us
not cloak and league with fraud or we can
never conquer. It is truth that is victorious,
and though it may be crushed to earth for
a while, yet it must and will rise. The "har
mony" of which the Columbian speaks in
its editorial article concerning the candidate
for Assembly, is fraudulent, deceptive, and
if allowed to pass without opposition will
ruin the Democratic party of Columbia
county. It is like the "harmony" of the
highwayman who meets his victim, slays
him, and when life is extinct, hunnonionsfy
takes his money, and then says "we agreed
upon the matter ; he gave me his money
without resistance." This is the "harmo
ny" made with Jack McHenry. The "ring"
subjugated him, made him deliver that
which he held, namely: the office of Rep
resentative to the Pennsylvania Legislature;
and by intimidation caused him to hold his
mouth, while they say it is "harmony."
But to the facts ; First let me say I was a
friend of Jack McHenry, and earnestly de
sired that he should be elected, because he
had been spoken of as a candidate for As
sembly during the past year, and to my
knowledge before Cyrus had been thought
of. Cyrus was called out, as I have been
informed, because a letter had been received
from a gentleman that controls the "ring,"
saying his choice was Cyrus. The Demo
crats of Fishingcreek do not like this one
man power, and we insisted that Jack should
be a candidate. We do not like the dicta
tion by the "ring" of who shall and who
shall not be candidates. Jack's name wasan
nouticed by hitnse/j; when Cyrus friends
authorized his name to be announced with
out the knowledge of Cyrus. The contest
was likely to become a little warm in Fish
ingcreek township, and all believed Jack
would be nominated and elected. This was
evident from the expression of the people.
The "ring" seeing their defeat, and know
ing their treatment of Jack was such that
they could not expect particular favors of
him, found themselves in a positiou out of
which they must got, honestly or dishonestly.
Honest means wore not 'efficient and they
resorted to fraud, or, in other words policy.
Last Tuesday morning I received the intel
ligence from a neighbor that "Jack and
Cyrus have both declined in fttor of Col.
Hiram It. Kline; ' and was further informed
gstoCakt w I . • pony consent
to unite upon Kline, that the 'unpleasant
oentest would be avoided, and 'lto all, as
Democrats, could flight oar corntonn enemy
—the Republican party. Notwithstanding
I did not altogether like the man In 'whose
favor they declined, I was content, and felt
gratified that we should be 'gain milted.
When, however,the Dr.stoegAr came to me,
I4caroed from 'the letter of declination that
the great point seas to avoid a quarrel in the
31cHenry family. / then suspected there
was nora union hf sentiment upon the af
fair. Again hi 'fbe'etiueso of two days came
the Columbian ; lthillere' I was infOrmed
that Vbe artttgetnerft was to "tdake "bar
mony," Ind that there ilktuld' dot likely' be
any erppoeition to IdrAirfine.
Having business it 'Bloomsburg I Itr

bad dictated for the •Truspoee 'of deceiving
the people, and whirl had been cooked up
by the " ring" and arranged, at an appoint
ed meciing of potfiCians of the "ring," at
the residence cif Mr. Charles It. Buckalew,
on Sunday, The 21st day of June, 1868. I
was informed at Bloomsburg that Jack Mc-
Henry's presence at that meeting was wholly
accidental, that when he was on his way
homeward Mr. Buckalew came out and call
ed him in ; I have since been told that both
Jack and Cyrus were United to be there,
and it is a strange coincidence that both
happened at Bloom near about the same
time on the said Sunday morning. Other
gentlemen had notice of the meeting and
were in attendanev.
On Monday morning, following the Sun
day exercise at Mr. Buckalew's, Jack aad
Cyrus McHenry went to Bloom tegmher.—
Jack there talked some two hours with his
friends ; who had, with the co-operation of
other/rivets in the county, succeeded in es
tablishing for him to fair a prospect of eke
tion as any candidate can have before he is
not absolutely elected. Jack was asked to
refuse to make any contract with Cyrus' or
any one, by which he should be withdrawn
and his chances sacrificed. Jack's only an
swer was that he did not want a family
quarrel, and that the arrangement having
been thready entered into he could not now
refuse to do as they had agreed with hint.
Attain Jack's friends told him if he did
withdraw he should not recommend any
one; this he promised, but after seeing the
" ring" men was pressed to say with Cyrus,
we decline in favor of llimm IL Kline.—
Now it is evident the desire was not to har
monize the party, nor yet to avoid a family
quarrel, except perhaps, on the part of Jack,
who was deceived and betrayed in the hands
of his enemies. The "ring" knew Cyrus
was defeated and they were willing to throw
him away if they could get Jack to give up
that which he now held—namely, the nom
ination. The desires of Jack's friends
were not eon: tilted, nor recognized, in the
contract. They never consented to the"de
elination" of Jack. and so informed him.—
The " harmony" is all on one side.
And more, let me say to you Mr. editor, I
have been an advocate of the Columbian, I
have been engaged with the "ring," and
have assisted them, but hereafter, will hold
the paper and all concerned with it in con
tempt. I was led to believe they were hon
est. T know now they are full of deception,
and I do not believe there is one among
them, from the truculent servants at the
office to the Greet Chief who is not a po
litical gambler, a trickster of the lowest
grade. And sir, there are other men in this
part of the county, who like myself up to
this titue have been deceived, and will be
deceived no longer. We say to you the
prediction of the Coitimbion that there
would be little opposition tit Cul. Klitt. shell
not be true.
There must be opposition, and it must be
earnest and honest opposition. Col. Hiram
11 Kline is a clever gentleman, yet he is not
the man to represent the people of Colum
bia County. Well may the Co/unthion say
his record needs no comment. Let there
be a candidate who is honest, capable and
true, and we will inform Mr. Kline that not
withstanding ho has said among us : "I
would not have been a candidate but I am
the only man upon whom both parties could
agree," yet he can have a warm time before
he returns to the Legislature of Pennsylva
nia where ho once mired. And lot us teach
him that, though he may be duped to prac
tice the frauds of the "ring," he can not
dupe all Democrats by such falsehood and
corrupt "harmony." luau&

Gov. Geary proclaimed am follows:
Fellow citizens, the corner stone of this in

by the authority of the Commonwealth of
Pennsylvania, I proclaim the fact to this au•
dience.
OOVKRNOR'S ADDRESS
The custom of laying corner stones is an
ancient one, and although the present one
did not occupy as much time, and was laid
with loss ceremony than some others, still it
was sufficient for all useful purposes. Ile
appeared before them, having been select
ed by their Professor and others, with no
studied oratory, but as a follow citizen and
tome them sentiments warm from his heart.
He had arrived among them, had seen their
Academic shades, and had seen how fast
their town was developing. He had seen
their fair daughter; and promising sons
come up and exhibit themselves in a man
ner highly creditable to themselves, to the
faculty, and to their people. He felt inbebt
ed to bis friends for the invitation. lie felt
it good to be with them, and he felt his
heart warm toward them. Until a few days
since he had never been among them. He
could not help noting the advancement of
everything. He saw a town which surprie
ed him by its growth since he first saw it
ten years itinee. Their public edifices, their
manufacturing enterprises, the smoke of
their furnaces, all of which showed the in
dustry of their people, surprised him.—
Their fertile crops gave promise that their
barns would soon be stored with au abun
dant harvest. They ought to be thankful,
and raise their hearts to the Giver of all
good. While such blessings rested on them,
they should not neglect the cultivation of
their minds. When they look around on
the 800,000 children thrown on the guid
ance of the Commonwealth, and the 20,010
schools, they could well feel that the labor
ers were few, in proportion to the labor to
be performed. Education was necessary to
freedom. Nations sunk in ignorance never
retain their freedom long. Neither can an
intelligent people long remain enslaved.
We have our liberties from our forefath
ers ; a glorious inheritance. If we would
preserve those liberties, wo must educate
the children. There were many who did
not believe in education, but he would tell
them that no man who loves his country,
can scoff at that great palladium of' our liber
ties, or at those who would forward the cause
of education. They came there• not as Be
publicans, or Democrats ; as Presbyterians
or Baptists or Methodists, but they stood on
the broad platfonn of American citizenship,
to show to the world that they join their
hearts, hands, and purses for the education
of the people. He called on them nut to
hold their purse strings with to tight a grasp;
not to hesitate. In a little less than two
years they had seen one edifies arise for the
education of children, and now they saw
another commenced in which to educate
teachers. He asked them to come up and
help the friends of the Institution. Ho
would not laud soy one. They knew to
whom the honor belonged, and he would
say all honor to the gentlemen and kiddies
who have contributed to its prosperity. Let
it teach your sons Anwr and love to
God ; God and their country should be in
the minds of all. As soon as it was erected
according to the demands of the State, he
would say to them on the faith of the Com
monwealth, that there would be no hesitan
cy in granting the necessary appropriation.
He felt authorised to say that the $15,000
promised would be forthcoming ; $5,000
each year, when the conditions were fulfill
ed. An apostrophe to education of a glow
ing character was here introduced. He clos
ed by giving the blessing of the Governor
of the Commonwealth." God bless these
children. God bless the teachers. I leave
you all my most hearty blessing, Bless
each one of you in the name of God. As
a disciple of God, I am not afraid to say I
believe in Jesus Christ, and in the Bible.—
I leave my blessing with you all.
Judge Rupert, President of the Board of
Trustees then gave a sketch of the rise and
progress of the Institute, a copy of which
sketch bad been deposited in the Corner
stone.
Judge Elwell thee on behalf of the board
of Trustees delivered an able and interest
ing address; going pretty Fully into the hir•
the prssenellof this large amennbly.
Gov..Genry then handed over to Prof.
&ryas., in a riot and pertinent speech, the
plans and lrawings of the now Idiot,
bidding himi'God sived In the noble fork,
and again urging our ciiizons to come IV
nobly with their money 'to' the support or
this great enterprise.
Rev. Mr. ,Waller proposed time cheers for
Gov. Geary, which were Wittily given.
Col. Freese moved to tender the thanks
of the andienoe to Gov. Geary for his
kindness in being present with there *this
occasion, and for his unrance in relation
to the acceptance of the School as a State
Institution, and appropriation to it of the
sum of $15,000 when we ourselves have
done our part. It was suggested that the
manse of Prof. Wickersham be added, which
was done, and a unanimous "aye" was the
response.
Prof. Carver in response to numerous
deserved compliments to himself, made an
earnest speech, promitdng to have the
building ready speedily, and the Gov.
agreed to be present at the dedication.
EVENINth
By eight o'clock in the evening a splen
did audienoe had assembled in tho hall of
the Institute. The stage was occupied by
Gov. Geary, Prof. Wickersham, Rev. M.
Collins, Hon. C. L. Ward, and the Board of
Trustees.
Rev. Mr. Collins in the absence of Prof.
Coburn, read the Report of the Examining
Committee.
Prof. IVickersbam then proceeded to ad
dress the vast audience upon the subject of
education in general, and especially upon
State Normal Schools. It is impossible for
us to give even a synopsis of it. Ile held
the people for an hour in silent attention,
and at the close of his speech was greet
ed with hearty applause.
It was moved by ltev. Waller that a copy
of the address of Judge Elwell, and a copy
of the report of Mr Collins be requested
for publication. As soon therefore as we
can find room, the address of Mr. Ward,
and of Judge Elwell, and the History of
the Institute by Judge Rupert, and the re.
port of Mr. Collins' will be published in full.

The Old Guard for July.
The .July number of the Old Guard, now
ready, will compare favorably with the pre
ceding numbers in point of ability. The
leading article, "Modern and ancient Ideal;
of Liberty Contrasted," should be earefully
read by all political students, particularly in
these times, when the liberties of the peo
ple are being filched from them by knaves
and demagogues. "Astorre Manfredi" and
"Dead Under the Roses," the one a trans
lation from the Italian of Monte Verde,
the other written for The 011 Guard by one
of our most talented lady contributors, are,
as usual intensely interesting and thrillling.
"Homer and Milton" is the title of an able
analysis of the peculiarities of style of these
eminent writers. "Sub Rosa, a maiden's
Love Story," which has run through several
numbers, is concluded in the present one,
and is as witty and chatty as our lady rea
ders could well wish. The next article,
"Political Science in America," by Edward
A. Pollard, will command that attention
which everything coming from his pen does.
"French Jacobins and American Abolition
ists," by Dr. J. 11. Van Evrie, thoroughly
disposes of the absurd idea entertained by
many Americans, that the French Demo
ends of 1789, or Jacobins, as they were
Ladled by the English Tories, were about
the same as our American Abolitionists. A
perusal of the article will convince the
reader that there is no possible similarity—
that, as the writer forcibly says, "they stand
to each other as truth and falsehood, right
and wrong, heaven and hell, God and the
devil." "Who are the Traitors?" by a con
tributor, reviews the unpatriotic conduct of
the American Abolitionists, and proves
that they, and they only, are the real
traitors to their country and its consti
tution. This number of The Guard also
contains the first of a series of Sketches of
Grant, to be published every month, written
by a General in the United States Army,
which will throw more light on that bepuffed
and overrated individual than all the 'Lives'

sketches are prepared by a gentleman who
"knows hie man," and while they will ren
der equal and exact justice to the "military
hero," they will show what .most thinking
men now admit, that history gives no record
of so great a reputation being built on such
a flimsy foundation. "Who is to be the

mountebanks who are ever ready to sacrifice
principle to expediency. Of course the

interesting matter, and The Guard, take it
as a whole, is worth one ton of those so-called
campaign documents" which, as a general
thing, only confuse and bewilder the people.
Now is the time to speak the Truth fear
lessly and boldly, and The Old guard, as its
name implies, can always be relied upon to
"lash the follies and the crimes of men,"

that . and tenter journal, the Cohonidens,

appeared one or two articles, to which
world like to call the attention of the Dem

County.
In ono of those articles headed "Keyhole

Lig manner, attacks the lion. George H.

who support him and his views, by calling
t h em "Keyhole I'eliticiann" and narrow

it calls Zloratio Seymour, tbr President, and
gen. Frank P. Blair, for Vise President, its

An attack or that kind must have a cause

The "Columbian" says: "They aro like a

and their value and their relative positions,
from his very limited survey. Occasionally
we find a koyholder who is for Mr. Pendle

financial views."
I would abk the "Columbian" what key

relative positions of its pet candidates? If

MENTAL DEPRESSION.—MentaI depres
sion is a disease of the nervous system, and,
of all the ills flesh is heir to, it is the one
that excites the least sympathy. It is a
subject of frequent jests, and is c a lled by
various derisive terms ; but, although it Is
often laughed at, it is not easy to laugh the
patient out of the belief that his ills are all
real, for it is a real illifortler —the general
features of which are constant fear, anxiety
and gloom. The external :'eases, as well as
the mental faculties, often manifest symp
toms of derangement. Noise, as of falling
water,and ringing:in the ears are complained
of, while black specks and fiery 'parks flit
before the vision. Admonitions like those
should not be disregarded, as they may, if
neglected, terminate in insanity. The sent
of the disease is in the brain and nervous
system, and to control the malady it is ne
cessary to use a powerful tonic and alterative,
which will correct and tone tlio,e organs
without inflaming the brain. This is the
secret of the siteeess of HOSTETTER'S
STOMACH BITTERS in cases of this
kind, forwhich it is the safest us well as the
best of restoratives.
In fact it is the only pore and reliable
tonic stimulant known. Many nostrums,
purporting to be toni cs , are putl'e(i up from
time to time in the newspapers, but the
sufferer had better let them alone. 1108-
