A - . emocrat on Grant. Some months ago the Pittsburg Post, one of the most respectable of the Dem ocratic papers of Pennsylvania, contain ed a leader under the caption of " the Duty of the Democratic Party lit a Cer tain:Event," from , which we excerpt the salient paragraphs without any. far ther comment. They speak for them selves : Suppose that, contrary to the wish of some of the leading Radical Black Re publicans, who want the office ' them selves, Gen. Grant should -lie nominat ed for the Presidency by the Republi can party; (what course ought the Dem ocratic pty to pursue ? Ought *e to nominate a man in op position to General Grant ? Ought we to charge him with being an enemy to his country, or in favor of unjust meas ures, merely because he may have re ceived said nomination? We are inclined to believe that more t f depends-upon General . rant now than upon any other iudivi nal in the Unit ed States. We believe him to be far su perior to thb majority - of the far-sighted politicians who haves been ruling the nation without bringing peace or econ omy to our legislation. He is known to all the people as a straight-forward man, and, so lar as can be judged, a man well disposed to deal fairly with the people of all sections of the Union. What better things can we do in case of General Grant's nomination by the Repulillean party than to vote for him for the Preindeney I Our aim should be to strengthen his hands to render him as much as possible independent of par ty, and to elect him as the President of the people. If Unanimously, so much the better. We solemnly believe that if the peo ple generally of the United States can come together with real unanimity on General Giant, in regard to the ".Presi dency, it will be the happiest thing for our country that,could possibly omit\ The future goottleffects of this course are almost incalculable. We • earnestly ask our Dethoerat•ie friends everywhere to consider this subject carefully.

SHIPMA N, of th is borough, was found beneath the barber shoo of Jintil morning last. 'investigation, showed _that ha had beer.- 4 4ic , d a daY or two, and that he had cut hid left wribt With his pocket-knife,.evidently in a vain attempt to reach the artery. r.Phr wounds inflicted were not serious, nor 'were there any marks upon his person to indicate certainly how death was produced. The Coroner's Jury render ed a verdict in accordance With the facts hfore them, that his death was caused exposure and the effects of liquor.— The deceased was aged • about 40 years, and leaves a wife and two children.— He was an industrious, upright man, and but for the unfortunate habit which has wrecked the hopes of so many men, would have been a useful and respected member of society. His melancholy example whilst it brings sorrow to his family and friends, may be a warning to Others to lead them to beware of the tempter,"for at last it biteth like a ser pent and stingeth like an adder." A good deal of interest was felt by• citizens generally in tho case of the People vs. VAN HOUSEN, TOWLE \VIN SON and others, charged with the Schuy - lea County Bond forgery. The general history of :the case is familiar to every one interested. A little episode occur red lately, however, which adds inter est to the case, and is worth 'relating.— After arrest, VAN HOUSEN, WixsoN and _,JAMES- GOULD were released on bait, while TowLE remained in jail.— It was understood that GOULD would prey° an important witness for the prosecution, and it further seems to he clear that the prisoners were more than anxious to have this cause put over the term tit any cost. Last Saturday night GOULD was unexpectedly arrested on a requisition from the Governor of Penn sylvania,on complaint of C. S. MATH ER of Lawrcncoville, one of the vic tims of the "gang," and hurried off to the jail at Wellsboro. On Monday, the facts of GOULD'S " departure" becom ing known: to the District Attorney, he at once decided to have him returned, if possible, so that the case might not be put over. Sheriff CRAIG was des patched on Tuesday to effect this ob ject, but encountered obstacles at Wells boro, and on the way there, which he could not overcome with the power then in his hands, and which showed very conclusively that the "little game" was being desperately played for the ac .eUsed. On Monday, also, the District Attorney had VAN HOUSES and Wix.- sots' re-arrested and confined in jail, de termined to bring them to trial unless some better reason could be urged apinst it than running off material wit nesses. Uponthe failure of the Sher iff to obtain Gorg.D at his first visit, a writ of habeas corpus was - immediately sued out, and the District Attorney, in company with the Sher,ifl; went back to Wellsboro, and returned with the Ivitness GOULD on Thursday morning.

We read in,the papers from below the mountains that John Hickman, of Ches ter county, and last year a member of the Legislature, declines a renomina tion. We always thought Mr. Hick man a man of good sense, and now we arc sure of it. Some things are necessary and some appropriate:: Of the latter class we may mention the election of N. B. 'Forest, the hero of the Fort Pillow massacre, by the Tennessee -Democracy, as delegate at large to their National Convention. He certainly will be appreciated in New York where the innocent-pastime of killing unarmed negroes is practiced by the rank and file,of the DeMocracy. He has done his party great sbrvice.— Merit &serves its reward. ' ANYBODY, GOOD LORD !"

The tribulation, however, .only affects the leaders of the party, the rank ancylle being f j ltsily suited, and not subject to many a trx-ieties,about such trifles. To the anxiitis inquiry of the I leaders—" who shall we nominate?"— the rank and file might reply as did the ancient maiden in search of a husband to the owl—" Anybody, Good Lord!"

It was the abject slave of the Slave Power to the last moment of its official career. . Whatever its lea ders,found expedient to do to win the favorrif its masters, however base, that they dared 'to do. Whatever the South demanded they promised to do. If the Southern leaders of the party tell the truth, the managers of the party north promised to give the Republicans enough to do at hoMe s'hould they „at tempt to put down secession by resort to force. That Franklih Pierce so as sured Jefferson Davis is, fortunately; a part of history, and will not be de nied. That other leaders gave Davis arid his colleagues similar assurances is also known. That this party in search of a candidate sympathized with the South rather than with the Govern ment, during the wax, is proved, as clearly as actions can prove anything. Its ,agents discouraged volunteering where Democracy was in the majority. They sought to undermine the public credit. They clamored for an equal ap portionment of, military service, and yet opposed conscription. They declar ed their devotion to the Constitution and the Union, yet procured-desertion i i from the £ll my organized to preserVelbe authority o bile and the integr i ity of the other. f They grumbled at the slow progress of the war, demanded its vig orous prosecution, and crowned the stupendousness of their hypocrisy by solemnly denouncing the war as a fail ure and demanding peace at apy price, in'lBo4.
