By order of County Committee: J. M. WALLACE, THE DEMOCRATIC FIGHT AND NOMINATIONS. The struggles for nominations in the Democratic party of this county, which was carried on with even more than ordinary energy. and bitterness, termi nated on Saturday. ItWas a long, fierce, and in many respects disgraceful scram ble, and every citizen of the county, in cluding even_the_defeated candidates rejoices that it is over. "Every town ship and voting district was canvassed, and every voter of Democratic proclivi ties was forced to the polls. The entire poll amounted to 3,997, which is almost equal to the largest vote the Democracy has over given, even at a general election. We have heard sonic stories relative to the Democracy here, which wo propose to give for what they are worth. It is -saidTthat-for-a-Thilerthere-was-a-eoustl erable trouble if, the minds of the leaders, as to what constituted a man enough of a Democrat to vote at a primary election. It was proposed by a rather verdant politician, that each voter should be re quired to take an oath 'that he would support the constitution of the Unifed Stateslinil Tie "new departure." Thb gentlemen ,f,who made this suggestion was promptly put down, with the infor mation that it standard of that kind wouldn't leave men enough in the party to make election officers of. Some other gentleman had prepared the form of an. oath to be administered, about as fol fows " You do swear by the ancient memories and traditions ,:tf the Democratic party, that you are now, always -have been, and will forever be a DCmocrat ; that you have never voted for a radical and never will do so ; that you believe and sub sci•ibe to all the platfornis and principles of the Democratic party from the days of Jackson to this-Ahne, Moro especially, however, since the days, of Franklin Pierce ; that you believe in tfiee justice, policy, and divinity of the institution of slavery; and the separate rights of the States, particularly , in their right to se cede ; that you aro opposed to all means and measures that are intended to preserve order and peace, particularly when the disorderly persons are Democrats ; that. you believe in the largest liberty of speech, thought and action, except when Radicals desire to think, speak or act ; that in the recent difficulties in New York you approve the course of Mayor Hall, in suppressing the Orangemen, and of Governor Hoffman in shooting down the Irishmen ; that you endorse and ap prove the expenditure of vast amounts of money by the politicians of Now York, in the fitting up of public build ings, because that enables their politi cians to steal enough of money, to carry the election in , 'ennsylvania ; that you believe in the superiority of the white Mee, politically hnd other wise, and that you believe, also, in the new departure ; that you believe in the paymentof the National debt, as it is no .longer safe, politically, to talk of its repudiation ; that you believe in economy in State and local girt/eminent, provided that doesn't prevent the build ing of bridges, insane asylums, &e., for the bonefit , ef officials when it may be necessary to do so. And further, if there is anything in this that will pre ; vent you 'from voting at this primary cleetion or any other, you are to take it - with a huge mental reservation." This oath was said to be favored by, all the active politicians for Bonk time, 4but was finally dropped for the reason, that the greater part it might be forgotten, oven after ithad been taken. As the machine was thus to be started without preliminaries, the; voting on Saturday was brisk from thcf beginning to the close.

It is hard to toll exactly the signifl canal of these nominations, hi regard to the different rings of the partYrt'-eTlio Slate is entirely too big, and the c s if•- . plioation too numerous, to set the result - doWn to any particular influence. • Wo howovcr,thnt thus majority of .tlio candidates, who were winners; were • strongly suPported by the Volu Weer, an that the result is claimed as a Bra on :vlctory.,;, , , WWI,. to the iloteazi 1)019 the TuE Democratic journals pretend that, a dificoveyy has hum made; that the Treasurer of the :United States, at Washington, has large sums of money which aro nnatammtad for.

Kuhn. • Chairman A long string of resolutions was passed eulogistic of the Democratic party and its ^candidates, and denunci _atory_aLtite.,_other_sido,but—they-wisoly- steer clear of the new departuresbusiness. It was supposed from the tone of the. leading Democratic organ in that county, that the Democrats there were fully up to the advanced ideas of the party, but c Conventioti seems to have ignored the whole question. The Democratic leaders evidently think that policy is better than honesty. "GCNEUAL WILLIAM MCCANDLESS is a-man-of the-people,--Ho-ean to-day take down a locomotive, and can refit and equip it, and when thus refitted ho can seize its lever, and with it safely draw a train of cam over the heaviest grade." Exchange. This is wonderful. We imagine, of course, that `the General can do all this irrespective of the size of the engine, the, elevation of the grade, or the weight of the train. It is amazing, what some gentleman can do, when their friends have the statement of their ca pacities. The GenCral will, however, have a chance to test his powers. Ile is engineer, at present, of the Demo cratic party. That rickety old locomo tive was taken apart when ho was,nomi nated last Spring, reconstructed, cleaned up, and''' . the 'General put aboard to run the machine. If he don't find out before October that he has a heavier load, re steeper grade, and a poorer en gine than lie ever ran during his days of railroaging ; we will confess that we are mistaken in the matter. Pr is rather unfortunate that the De mocracy of DlN:county do not hold con ventions, in order that they might express themselves op the political issues of (be day. We would like to see the commo tion which a new departure resolution would produce in a Citinbeiland county convention. ';,hen, too,-there would be a fine chance to express the 'confidence the Democracy have in the capacity and integrity of the County Commissioners. Indeed there are many interesting topics for resolutions just at this time. But as there are no conventions, there can be no resolutions, and as silence gives consent, we may itiesume that the Cumberland County Democracy believe in the new departure, endorse the county. Onibils tration, and, ill short, , tiro in full com munion with the members 2f/the party in Philadelphia, New 'York, and else where.

THE Now York Sun is sarcastic in its remarks in regard to the " Shameful Treatment of a Poor Plasterer" by the Comptroller. It says.: "Wo aro in formed that Mr. Andrew J. Clarvey, au industrious plasterer, has commenced a suit against the city for a little balance of between, one and two hundred thou sand dollars, which the , Comptroller re fuses to pay. Things are coming to a pretty pass, when a poor plaiterer is compelled to sue a great coisporation like that of New York for his hard earnings. lIE CENSUS OF' 1870 We believe that hitherto •no publica tion has been made of the results of the' census showing the separate numbers. of .whites and blacks. We present our readers with such tables, which can be relied on as accurate and official. They will furnish the thoughtful citizen with food for reflection and speculation, and . shonlirbirearoTtilly preserved. We have spent some hours in analyzing these tables and comparing them with those of the census of 1860, and with the follow ing results : The increase of the aggregate popula tion of 611,,the States and Territories during the ten years it; 6;902,129, and the rate of ine.ease "is above twenty-ono and nine-tenths per cent. The increase of the whole white population is 6,591,- 791, and the rate of increase 'is 24.4 per cent. The increase of the white population in the Northern or originally Free States 5,137,848, and the rate of increase is 27.4 per,cent. The increase of the white population in the Southern States is 1,335,201, and the rate of increase percent: The aggregate increase of the black• Population in the United &Ines is 338,- 885, and the rate of increase is 7.0. The increase of the black pbpulation imihi_Boutheru_S tates_is_4B,9s , l,_au the rate of increase is 4.11 per cent. The increase of the ,black population in the Northern States is 110,192, and the rate of increase is 52.7 per cent. The increase of the whole population in the Territories, including the District of Columbia, i 5487,981., and the'rate of increase is 7.1.9 per, cent. This state ment refers to UM Territories which re mained in that condition in 1870. Nebraska and Nevada, which were Ter ritories in 1860, / ,,lut in meantime become States,and aro thbrefore ranked as Such in the tables and in these com parisons. Tlie increase-of the white population in the Territories is 154,315, and the rate of increase is 65.5 per cent. The increase of the black population i s the Territories is 80.80, and the rate of increase is 208.9 per cent. An inspection of the tables will 'show that the considerable increase of the population of the Southern 4 Btates has taken place chiefly in those on the north ern hordes cif that section 'that is to say, in -Delaware, Maryland, Kentucky and Missouri, ail that a diminution of -the number of the blacks has taken place in„ these border, States except in Maryland, where the increase is slight.-- . ' The greatest increase in the number of blacks in the South has taken place in North' Carolina, Tennessee, Arkansas, Texas, Florida and Alabama. In Ow two Virginias, compared with „the old State, there is exhibited a loss of' 80,018 black's. In Georgia, also, theta is a fall ing off of blacks, and considerable in crease of whites. Othoc coniparismis i~ ill suggest themselves to the intelligent reader who has a copy of the census of 1800 at hand. 174,4( 7 OLT . 84, 4 1,186 :212 12 , . 401 vrOPULXTION, 1870 Shiro. 11 . 111 tea, 11lnelo.
