" Democracy Triumphant PI
The above "glorious and oinnious" an
nunciation was last week heralded faith
through the columns of the "Advocate,"
as being the result of the late township
elections in "old Huntingdon."
It is not a little laughable, to see upon
what a small foundation, these would-be
democrats, can build a glorification tem—
ple. Take for instance their own states
ment. "They (the Loco Motives) trium
phed by a majority of 56 in the borough,
and about the same number in the tow n.
ship," so says their urgent]. and the Wri_
ter calls it a "glorious and ontnions num.
Ger." First let us look at the glory.
The township and borough, form one
election district, and according to their
showing the mapirity was about 112—
when heretofore it has generally been a
bout 150, showing that the glory consists
in a crewed majority; for the number of
votes pulled was larger than usual at gen.
oral elections• Next, how was this glory
accomplished 1 Under the new law a
resiektice of ten days, entitles a man to
vote, provided he has fulfilled the other
requirements of the law. In order to co ,
ry out the provisions of this new law, the,
canal officers who are located in our par
ticular neighborhood, transputed, or im
ported, the old trot)? of ' , ten day men,''
on the nigit of the eleventh day bet3re
the election into our town. We saw them,
every mother's son of them with i i bun
elle under his arm. They came like wan
dering Arabs, and pitched their ten's at
the different taverns in town. Th-y came
to work on the canal! Some worked and
some played, until the day of the election!
They voted ! and the next morning saw
every guilty slave is the troop with his
.'dirty skirl" in his handkerchief, bevel
ling to seek some other residence. And
by this means they succeeded in tri:ig
log about the glorious decrease in their
majority—such is the glory!
Let us see what is the omen? Is it not
the :fact that they have lost in numbers
greatly since the election of '3B, and IS
not that otnnious of their defeat the coin
ing full. In 'en, they charged us'
tankers with bringing in men to vote down
the citizens, and some of the very men
who ars now the recipients of the votes of
this caravan, were anxims to take up
their muskets to expel! the invathrs, at
that time; now it is a very honest, very
excellent, and very creditable arrange
ment, to introduce the public work pau
pers, to elect the township officers of this
place.;
We recollect telling some of the same
g entlemen, in the fall of '3B, that it they
s ucceeded in electing Porter, that ILO*
party would practice every iniquity that
they tad learned from Hither's administra
tion, and all that the well calculated mn.d
villiany) of their honest Davy could
suggest beside. Did we nut speak true•
ly ? They complained that we created
too many officers. Have they not created
more still ? Toey complained that !Lt.
ner appointed without regard to petitions.
' Have they not done so to a greater ex
tent 1 They complained that Ritner did
not -bake the Banks resume. Are they
not doing worse by allowing the suspen
sion 1 They complained that Ritner Iva ;
bought by the Banks. Has not the Banks
,bought their own dear Davy 1 They con
plained that the officers of Ritner brought
men, to vote down the citizens. Have
they not dune the same 1 Let every hom
lest man answer for himself.
But let ua look at the omen. Last year
they elected a majority of the return judo
es in our county. Notwithstanding they
were beaten. This year we have elected
nineteen awl they only seven, and
what is the omen ? We can tell, it is an
omen that Harrier n n ust and will have
a majority of fifteen hundred in this coon
ty. Mark that ! and with nll these truths
staring them in the face, we say it is
in truth a "glorious and ontnious" result.
The Canal.
Never, we believe, since the canal was
finished, has there been a seasoa that
would have admitted so early navigation
Never has there been a season that the
tardiness and incapacity of officers and
contractors has thrown the navigation so
late. The winter was no doubt illy cal
culated to force forward much of the'
work that was to be done. But in Eome
cases willful neglect, and total incapaci
ty are the causes of the detention now.
The at;uAuct across Stone Creek,
his been rebuilt by Messrs Irvin and J£l9l
norrell; and we are bound to - say, it has
bet urn dcnc. A few of the mal-con.
tents of that party have, during the whole
winter, bet shooting their arrows at
Wissrs Ilorrells ' jib, and spitting the
p Try spite of little hearts at them—'their
!job would not be done en time'--'lt would
not be done right;' and a hundred such ex•
pressions were daily heard Upon the
totiguei of some of the minions of their
party.
We care as little for one of their patty
as another, so far as party strife is con.
cerned, yet, as neighbors, we respect
Messrs Iforrells, and feel bound to rem ,
der to them a just award for their exec•
tions (no matter how well they may he
paid) to forward the interest of our adop
ted State.
llad the work of Messrs IlorrellelKen
performed by some of the men-servant; of
the pal ty , the : ongs of pr:ut•e and adula.
tion would h.tve been loud and long, that
would hare been heard echoing in their
behalf. 13.1 t, such not being the fact, the
work performed by them, and others, a
long the whole line, all that people knew
of t'm matter, is the fulsome etlerres , ence
of some party press, in language of this
"The canal is new in better navigable
order than for many years; it way fear
ed that the navigation lacidd he closed f:r
some weeks owing to the great amount of
repairs. But bj the able, aeiee and :n•
defatigable exertioas of the super viso, s it
is ready sooner than we expected." In
this manner they laud to the skies. those
w'm have done comparatively otthlog,
drz expunfe at thts,l who are the a:;ual
operators.
It was said atMessrs Hu:Tells that they
could out be done in time, and that the
'..Stt:te hands. ;" or as they are signillical
ly called the "State robbers" were to
come and help them. Yet they did get
ready for the navigation long before some
others, and what is more, when their jo!-.1
totts done, it was done; while some of the
others have had theirs to do twice, and we
are afraid that even then tt will not b►
well dent. We have no sympathy for e n s
of them, but we di! like this decorating ()I
one ►n the feathers of another.
