THE DAWNING LIGHT.
'Sometimes," says Bulwer, "towards the
end of a gloomy day, the sun, before but dimly
visible, bieaks suddenly out, and clothes the
landscape with a smile; consoling us for the
idoom and sadness which has just vanished."
.hut so has it been with the Democratic party
recently. The result of the late elections in Ohio j
and Pennsylvania were well calculated to throw
a shadow of deep gloom over our glorious old
party, and fill the faint-hearted with dismay. It
was indeed discouraging to find that the Kcy-
THE QUESTION SETTLED-
Bell, of the Tyrone Slar, last wick raised to
the mast-head of his paper the name of Simon
Camf.kok as the I'tople' candidate for President
in 1860. This we presume is final, binding and
collusive on all jeop7e interested. The People's
organ, edited by one of the People, hath spoken
out in favor of the old Winnebago chieftain, and
consequently, he is now fairly in the field.
When he is elected he will doubtless reward the
illustrious Bell by making the Tyrone Star his
organ, bimin, tney say, always remembers ms
friends, and wc have no doubt our Blair county
friend will ke properly rewarded for his valuable
service?, when a favorable opportunity for so
doing presents itself.
It is certainly a rich and rare idea that Simon
Cameron is fit to occupy the position of Chief
Magistrate of the United States. He has neither

f-tov. State had proved recreant in the hour of j
tlarkm ss and trial, and that too when her favcr- j quires,ar:d to call him even an ordinary statesman
ite son was at ti.e helm. The returns of the In
diana State Elections furnished the first bright
glimmerings of the returning sunlight which will
ire long, revivify the ranks of the Democracy,
and restore confidence to even the desponding.
In New York, the Empire State, the Demo
cratic horizon is every day growing brighter, and
there is now but little reason to doubt that the
result of the election which will shortly be held
in that State, will more than compensate our
party for its recent reverses. The election of
our State ticket is conceded by the leading op
position joiirnr.ls.
At the present time, when traitors styling
themselves Democrats, arc endeavoring to disor
ganize and destroy the party to which they pro
fess allegiance, it is refreshing to find the Democ
racy of the great State of New Fork a unit.
Like true patriots, determined to resist the in
roads of sectionalism, they have determined to
fcrget all past differences, and unite like a band
of brutht-rs, for the purpose of crushing out the
tbul spirit of Abolitionism alias Black Republi
canism. Tf they meet and drive back the ene
mies of the Union, they will merit the thauks of
-very true Dtmoi rat in the Republic, and amply
compensate for their past abeirations. Like
xiuccre Democrats and sensible men, they treat
the "English Bill" as having finally ended the
Eecompton controversy, and while they endorse
the Kansas policy of James Buchanan in unqual
ified terms, they do not pretend to read out of
the party the men who were hones-lly and sin
cerely Anti Lecomi(oniks. Pursuing this inde
pendent, patriotic and conservative course, it is
ncarctly possible that they can encounter defeat.
The result of the election in Indiana is cer
fainly gratifying under the circumstances. As
in this Stale, the Opposition there were thor-
otighly united, and worked harmoniously togeth
er. Aud yet the Democracy succce lei in elec
ting their entire State ticket by a handsome
majority and in tiring the Opposition in both
branches of the Legislature. All hail, then,
Indiana! She has done nobly under the cir
cumstances. California too, has refused to bow
before the whirl wind of Black Republicanism ,and
till remains true to the illustrious statesman she
assisted in elevating to the Presidency in 1S5G.
The election in Maine also shows large Democratic
gains, an! we confidently predict that it will not
be long until she again occupies a place o:i the
list of Democratic States.
is supremely ridiculous. He is nothing but a cun
ning, dishonest, trading and treacherous politi
cian, and owes all the influence he wields, and
all the reputation he possesses, to the unfcrupu
lous use of his money. Like the editor of the
Star, he adhered to the Democratic party as
long as it proved a paying institution, but aban
doned it as soon as he perceived a bitter chance
for tie loaves and fishes in the Opposition ranks.
We would like to see Simon in the field for the
Presidency. He would cot carry a single State
in the Union.

THE AMERICANS.
We have been frequently asked of late what
has become of the Know Nothing party. Have
the "Sons of the Sires of '76" given up the ghost
in despair, and are we no longer to have Ameri
cans to "put on guard" Three years ago they
were a formidable party, and threatened our free
institutions with destruction; now it is impossible
to get a corporal's guard of them together in a nor
them State. And thus it hr.s always been with
the enemies of the Democratic party, from the
organization of our National Government up to
the present time. They are constantly changing
their principles and platform in order to deceive
the people. By pursuing this course, they some
times secure temporary success. But the De
mocracy always eventually triumph. Why,
even the Fuccesscr of Know Nothingism, the
Black Republican party, has alieady been ig
nored , and the People's Party inauguratt d ! We
will not attempt to conjecture what high-sounding
title they will assume fur the contest of 18C0.
As tho Democracy intend triumphing that year,
our Opposition friends should not waste any of
their sonorous titles in a hopeless cause.

RESIGNATION GF " JUDGE PORTER.
The Hon. William A. Porter has an
nounced his resignation as one of the Supreme
Judges of the State. Annexed is his letter
to his Excellency Governor Packer, convey
ing his motives for withdrawing from the
Bench. It is a plain, sincere, statement, and
remarkably characteristic of the retiring
Judge :
PlIILADELIiUIA, Oct. lGth. 1858.
Jit's Excellency William P. Pucker, Gov
ernor of Pennsylvania Dear Sir : On the
first day of your entrance on oflicial duty, I
received from your hands a com mission as a
Judge of the Supreme Court of Pennsylva
nia. The event then considered possible,
perhaps I should say probable, has just been
realized. I have little to say of the means
which produced it. On receiving the ap
pointment, 1 thought that being a Judge,
actually sitting on the bench and deciding on
the rights of :ucu of all shades of political
pinion, I ought not to write a political letter
nor to make a political speech. In the first
place, I was not willing to bide with" my
claims to the office, however small, in the sha
dow of a mere political question. In the
next place, I was and I am thoroughly con
vinced, by reading and reflection, that when
ever a Judge can be eleted by reason of bis
sentiments on any question of politice, that
moment the real power of the judicial office
will disappear. Possibly this may be very
erroneous doctrine, very inopportunely ex
pressed, but I shall maintain it, while I pos
sess a moral sense or retain a rational faculty.
In tho certain prospect of a defeat far more
disastrous, not one bairsbreadth of it should
be abated.
The reverse which has occurred to the Party
is of less consequence than we are apt to sup
pose. The Democratic party is coeval with
the Government itself, aud it will exist so
long as the Republic endures. Within its
rauka mca will always be iound, who remain
there only to do with more success tho work
of disorganization. The Party itself, though
depressed, is cot destroyed. The point of
its lowest depression is that from which it
wiil, of necessity, begin to rise. At this
moment, I solemnly believe it to be the best
and strongest political organization which
has ever existed for preserving the interests
of the whole country.
Now to the point. I am not weak cuough
to suppose that the enclosed commission has
had mnch to do in causing the present polit
ical excitement. Nevertheless, it is plain
that the people of Pennsylvania prefer anothei
person as a Judge of their Supreme Court
In these circumstances, it seems to me a
simple dictate of delicacy and propriety ts
retire from bis office. Iu additiou to this, I
ought to state that there are several important
causes pending in which 1 wish to take part
as couuscl, and these require immediate at
tention. I, therefore, enclose my resignation
The offico was tendered by you very kudly,
without solicitation on mv part. 1 resign it
gratefully, and without, as I hope, having
broucrht upon it a stain of dishonor. Less

preir.c Ileneh. Ti.e opinions delivered by Lim
t'.urinpr his brief career as a Jude show that he
is not only a thorough master of all the learning
of the legal pofes:ion, but is also poitsricd in an
eminent degree of that strong practical common
tense which is essentially necessary to constitute
a model "Minister of Justice." Mid recent defeat
will not degrade him in the estimation of tho
lVmocrary of his native State, and we confidently
predict that future honors are in store for him.
We have no disposition at present to refer at
length to the efforts of a few men during the late
campaign, who style themselves Democrats, to
defeat Judge l'orter. They basely abandoned
and betrayed the party that gave them all the
joUtical reputation they possessed, and made
eoinmon causa with tho men who had maligned
them tiiae and again. The renegade Forney,
from the very commencement of the campaign,
evinced a disposition to oppose Judge Porter,
and towards it close threw off tho mask and
openly opposed him. And nov he is daily en
Ka;od in shouting, through th' colr.mns of the
fress, over the rebuke to the National Adminis
tration which he asserts tho defeat of Judge
l'orter curies with it. That Forney has ceased
to be a Democrat his most ardent admirers do
not now attempt to deny. Kvcn the D-c-m-o-c
r-a-t s in this plice, who seem to regard the
Press a a sort of u political lhblo, are either
ashamed or afraid to defend its recreant course.
The men who were once so active in getting up
rlub for it, now openly acknowledge that it is
n Abolition organ unworthy of tho confidence
of Democrat . Yet, strange to say, they all
continue to patrouizo aud piruse it, and seem to
r."jr.,w all their political notion f;oni it. Forney
was accomplished than I could have wished. Ham Giahara.t
