THE LATE ELECTION AND ITS RESULT.
It isreccrdedin Lis lory that when the cele
1 rated llonry Do Mont fort surveyed the Lor-fcs cf
his eueir.v befira th? l -tt!ocf Evesham, he in
voluntarily exclaimed, "Hay Go 1 Lave mercy on
mr fc::1s, f.T cur todies are Prince Edwards'"
If wo had net an "abiding confidence in the in
telligence, patriotism and discriminating judg
ment cf the American people," we would feel
inclined t give utterance to a similar exclama
tion at the present tir.ic. Every clique and
faction in the land, nre now united and . working
together fjr tho purpura tf defeating the Demo
cratic party. Eu t this apparently friendly, sin
cere and fraternal union cf the "clans," reels on
a sandy foundation. Their only object ia to se
cure tho epoiis of office. They hate each other
with an intense and holy hatred, and it is impossi
ble for them to hold together until, much less
during, the compaign of 1860. The Democratic
party, being a thoroughly national organization
of fixed principles, haa nothing to fear from the
anion of factions for the purpose- of securing iem
porary success.
Four years age, the Know-Nothing party was
triumphant from the Atlantic to the Pacific. In
almost every State cf the confederacy, the stand
arc! of bigotry floated in triumph. The enemies
cf tho Democratic party then confidently asserted
that th8 days of the Democratic party were num
bered that it never cculd recover from the blow
It had received; and the timid and radiating
members cf tho party believed the assertion
They believed that all was lost beyond the hopo
of redemption. And yet, the very coxt year
Pennsylvania was redeemed from the thraldom
cf Knew Nothingism by tha election of a Demo
cratic Legislature; and enly two years after tho
triumph of the "dark If.atern" order, a Demo
crats President of the United States was triumph
antly elected. And so it will be in 1SG0, if tho
Democracy, undismayed by thoir recent defeat,
preserve their organization intact, ard go to
work zealously and harmoniously, determined to
retrieve all that has been lost.
We have said that the pie-bald organization
which triumphed at "the late Election cannot be
held together long. It is a temporary structure
erected merely for the purposo of securing tem
porary success , and elevating certain men to
place and power. Being held together by the
adhesive" power cf plunitr, Its existence must bo
ehcrt-lived and transient. Ail its leaders cannot
get offices, and .there ia no unity of principles
among its members to constitute them one partj .
Is is merely a union cf factions controlled by
men who are constantly tormented with an insa
tiable longing after tho spoils of office, and inas
much as all cannot be satisfied, it will not be
leng until the disappointed will become rebel
lious, and the organization will bo dissolved,
amid bitter denunciations and stormy reproaches.
The Democracy have therefore no reason to be
cast down or discouraged at tho present lime.
Instead cf desponding and lamenting ever their
recent defc-at, they should at once adept as their
watch wcrd, "Pennsylvania must bo rede.tr.d,"
and work with the ur.fi! teeing determination that
this '
'consummation d-.-voutly to be wisnbd f-r"
thall te aucvmpdshed. If union and harmony
prvade their ranks, if tho voice of factioa is
hushed, and all past differences forgotten, it will
not be lor.g until they are again conquerors.
ELIQHTLY MISTAKEN.
We hear it asserted every day recently, that
the result of tho lato Election in this State was
a wittering rebuke to the Administration of
James Buchanan, and proved conclusively that
he hi3 bsen a recreant to the trust reposed in
him. This, wo thiafc, is incorrect. It was not
the unpopularity of the Administration cf James
Buchanan, but the thorough and complete union
of thVKcow Nothing and Black P.epublican par
ties, assiited by tho renegade Forney, which pro
duced the disastrous result of tho late Election.
Ouo would also suppose, from hearing those
persons talk, that this is tho first instance on re
cord of a Democratic President encountering cp
poaitian to his Administraiion ia the rank3 of
his party. This is ancthtr mistake. Gen.
Jaokeon encountered opposition of tho fiercest
kind during Ida entire Administration from men
styling themselves Democrats. His policy with
rtgard to the null -feat ion, encountered bitter and
determined opposition from memlerj of the Dem
ocratic party .whilo ho was sustained by Webster
and other distinguished .leaders ol the Opposition.
When he removed the deposits of the Govern
ment from the United States Bank, ho .again en
countered opposition in the ranks of his party.
Indeed, the U. S. Senate went so far as to pass a
resoluticn cr resolutions censuiing hij policy.
And denouncing him as little better than a ty
rannical usurper,aiming at absolute power. And
now where is tho ma; v.ho would dare to do
counce tr.e name cf Andrew Jaeksen. or couplo
h: nam 3 withdishoncr. His abilities as a elate
fc;a.-., r,:a pure and lofty patriotism, hia stern un-tcd;:-2
integrity, are now universally conceded,
wh; Lf i erccct ir. aligners, after having strutted
ilkt L.-.e. Lour upon tha ttage, Lave passed
an . are remembered no more. And so it
w;ll bo vr.ta Mr. Buchanan. Engaged in the
f-ttkfMl discharge of the dutie3 devolving ca him
w u.. Cr.:' f 'aitrtio cf the republic, he is
r"t l--.'tl frr.m the path cf duty by the
Ji;r.ciau--.ij of fv.tioua demaguts and disan
1-1 .-z-wwt who once professed to be
V Lievh. Vhen tie txcitornent of tha present
ho.if ha pajcl away,fcr; l JUm and anti
Lw,i:;pte.ii Lav. Lecoraa oW,Iete term?, James

It is fa!9 t asscTt that a Iarg incjority of tho
Democracy of Pennsylvania refused to support
their State ticket at the late election. If the re
sult be taken as a test, at least cine-tenths cf
tno Democracy ct i'mnsyivama we
ticurj Administration. The Democrats who
united with the Black Republicans, and assisted
in defeating Porter and Frost, are welcome to all
tbe glory and shsme annexed to tho act.-
SHAEP, VERY.
It is truly astonishing what an exceedingly
large watm tf eharp and astute pclilickns
tho last twenty or thirty years of this ever
glorious nineteenth century Lave produced in
thid county. "Why, we have really ia our
Mountain Village, at the present time, a few
immaculate patriots and eiincn-pure Demo- J
crats, who have undertaken the Btunendous
task cf pointing out the Democrats ia Cum
bria township and Ebensburg borough, who
voted against James Myers at the late elee
tion. They no doubt think they are playing
exceedingly sharp in giving currency to char
ges against tho political reputation of their
neighbors, which they know are false, or
which at least they cannot prove. It tney
are the- peculiar guardians of Iho Democrati
nirlv wo vriili ilim in nroilnco their crfidiill-
1- J ' r
tials. W"e wish them to show who made tbera
Judges in Israel, and would also like to eee
their authority for spotting the men who
chance to cross their pathway. We may have
something to say on this subject hereafter,
and we beg leave to assure our friends that
wo will account it both a pleasure and a duty
if necessary, to employ ourself for a few
weeks in jerking down demagogues and cna-
horso politicians to their proper position. 1
Of eourso we do not vrish to be considered as
being personal ia the foregoing observations
Rut, as General Ogle onca said, "if any fine
fellow feels his bristles rising on perusing
them, it's ten to ono but he knows who we
mean, percisely ."

what sort of a sensation hanging produces.

The Sclar Eclipse.
From the outh Paci6c papers received bv
the California arrival at New York on Fri
day, we learn that when tho Pacific Steam
Navigation Company's stoaiuer, New Grana
da, passed Payta on the 16th ult., Lieut
rncs M Guns, U.S. IN., member of the
Smithsonian Institution, was there, having
saving satisfactorily completed his observa
tions on the total cclipso of the suu, on the
t th uit.
In order to obtain an advantageous position
he proceeded to n point elevated 1,000 feet
rom the level of the sea, and about 200 miles
listaut from tho above named port. As the
object of 1m visit to this coast was solely for
the purpose ot making these observations, wc
trust tho public will bo favored with a minute
report of the reeuit, which, we are confident.
will, from the pen of that lDtollieut and sci
entific gentleman, be exceedingly interesting
ana instructive.
It was the intention of Lieut. Gillis to' pro
ceed by the first steamer South to Lima, where
he will remain a short time, and perhaca con
tinue his voyage to Chile.
Although astronomers were expected to ar
rive from France and England, it soems
that
no other was present on this interesting occa
sion, except Mr. Maester, a German astron
omer from Santiago, sent to join Lieut Gillis,
by the Government of Chile.
New Counterfeits. A new and very dan
gerous counterfeit 20 bill purporting to be
on the Bank of the State of New York, has
been put into circulation. The following is
a description : The vignette represents an
Indian girl seated, leaning her arm on a
rock, looking at rail-cars, Eteamboat and city
in the distance. On the right end is an oval
picture of a locomotive acd the figure 20.
It is unlike the genuine, which has two fe
males for vignette. Tho above is altered
from the bill of some Bank, but it ia exceed
ingly well done.
