IOIIN FRUIT.

This gentIeman's character seems the
most congenial theme of the DisorganizeIsi
but their hissings are as harmless as those
Of the viper whose poison has been extract
ed. The character of Mr.. Fruit is too well
known to the voters Of Columbia county,
and his philanthropy and kindly feelings
too much appreciated, to suffer any injury
from the fangs of such traducers and dema-
gogues. His private character and Poltl-
cal integrity are golden shield against ca
lumny and intrigue; and, with the afiec-
tons an Independent people, he will trl-
umph at the ballot-box, in despite OF NAL
ice, and all the schemes and misrepresenta'
tons of his enemies. His only sin is conf
ned TO one act-HE WAS REMOVAL MAN
and if this be a crime in candidate for Sher'
iff, when regularly placed upon the ticket
he can glory in the yituperatiye course o
his opponents.

0@lll-nature, in political contest, is
always the premonitory symptom Of defeat;
and we are rejoiced to know, that so far as
regards the election of Messrs. FRUIT and
McWILLiAMs, the managers of the "IntelIi-
gencer" and "Sentinel'' will shrink with
modification and disappointment, after the
election, in observing the overthrow of their
vile schemes Of disorganization: We be-
lieve that Mr.. Fruits majority cannot be
less than 700; and, as to Mr.. McWilliams,
he will undoubtedly be elected by an over
whefming majority over both the Federal
and Disorganizing candidates for Treasu-
rer. The people are aroused--they see
the dishonorable means employed by GER
tain wire-workers to defeat Fruit e. Nc
Williams-they have seen the erasure of
names from the regularly nominated ticket
and they are determined to punish all
such trickery at the ballot-box. This is
right. A mete reward should always fol-
low the treacherous conduct of pretended
friends; and when political newspaper at
tempts the disorganization of the party to
which it proclaims attachment, its sacrifice
of principle looses it the confidence Of the
party, and renders its controllers the harm
less tools of the opposition, in disguise.

agement to procure your defeat; and you
must look upon pretended friends, who
aim at disorganization, as your most potent
opponents, They are evolves in sleeps
clothing'-aiming at your downfall and
their own aggrandizement. Punish their
base conduct, by exposing and defeating
their designs; and hereafter you will move
onward, with union, harmony and success,
in defiance of their schemes to defeat your
honest intentions. We say again to the
Democrats of Columbia-be AcTIvE-be
vIoILANT--be FIRM in supporting the prin-
ciples and usages ofyour party, and your
labors must be rewarded with glorious tri-
umph over all opposition.

REMEMBER DEMOCRATS,

That on Tuesday week you will exercise
the proudest right of freemen. Go to the
ballot-box with your democratic principles
in your bosom, & your democratic tickets in
your hands.-Go with a determination to
put down all oppostion-to put down all dis
organizers. Go to sustain the usages & prin-
ciples of the party-to show your attach
ment to the doctrines of the Jetfersonian
School of Democrats, & your contempt for
Wolves in Sleeps clothing. Remember
that all power is placed in your hands
that upon your present course depends the
destiny of your posterity-and that to dis
countenance the tricks and schemes of dem
agogues is your bounden duty, both as par
ty men and good citizens. Rely on your
own integrity-vote in accordance with
your own principles-and glorious tri-
umph must crown your efforts to preserve
union and harmony, and secure success TO
democratic men and democratic measures.

JOHN LAZARUS.

This gentleman is called "the peoples
candidate for treasurer" by the Disorgani-
zors. This is certainly coming out on the
no party principle--a mere attempt to gull
the unsuspecting voters. BUTT cannot sue
ceed. Mr.. Lazarus may be very honest
and intelligent citizen; but, as ''the PEOPLES
candidate" he should have exhibited his
popularity at the County convention; and
not merely be content with being dubbed
such by the FACTION of disorganzors who
have made such evil use of his name in op-
position to the regular nomination. Mr..
Lazarus attended the conyention-he was
"as busy as a bee in a tar-barrer'-and
when he was honorabIy beaten he should
have acceded to the expressed will of the
Delegates.-Poor fellow, how he will feel
after the notwithstanding on his shoulders
not only defeat, but the ayowal of hostility
to regular nominations.

D@The "Democrat' pursues the old

''they can't board this vessel, no how they

G@The vile ISLANDERS in certain quarters
against Messrs. Fruit &'Mc Williams have
aroused the honest indignation of the peo-
pie, and their triumphant election will prob
ably accomplish the great good which the
democracy of Columbia county so much
desire. Disorganizers in politics, and ca
lumniators Of private character, are alike
destitute Of honorable feelings or correct
principles; and their prejudices and person.
al attacks are generally brought into opera
ton through the dread of that influence and
popularity hi0h they can never expect for
themselves. Hard names are used with
great ease and facility by low-bred and ma
licious persons; and return, in similar
languagde, is like adding fuel to the destruc-
tive blaze--it only increases the disposition
and power to do mischief. The People
know John Fruit and Hugh McWiliams;
and they will give full proofs of their con-
fdence in these gentlemen at the ballot
box:

Neither the Columbia Democrat, nor its
editor, are candidates for ofice-nor do
they intend to attack any of the candidates
on the regularly nominated democratic
ticket as morally politically unfit for the
stations allotted them by the county con-
ventiop. In such instances only, where
two candidates are formally placed on the
ticket sor the same Office, shall we make
choice; butthat choice shall not be made
with malicious intention to iniure the CO.
nominee IN any respect, except so far as
regards his election over our fayourite.

HUGH McWILLIAMS.

This popular candidate for Treasurer
has been "scratched" off the ticket by the
Disorganizors, to answer some private ends
of the enemies of Democracy and regular
nominations. But he heeds not their SLAM
derous attacks. He confdes in his own
integrity, and in the intelligence of the peo-
pie; and he shall not be mistaken in their
confidence and support. lie will distance
his opponents by tremendous majority;
and, as he never again will be a candidate
for Office, he will have an opportunity to re.
pay the support of his friends. To his en-.
emes we can justly say-"Cease, Vipers

Dp The "Intelligencer" charges us with
coyness and deceit(ulness in placing John
Fruits name at the head of the Sherifi's
ticket. We would merely refer our lima
tured neighbor TO the proceedings OF the
Convention as published in his own paper.
He will there discover that on the first bal
lot, John Fruit had II votes and Elias Nc
Henry only l4-consequenty Mr.. Fruit,
having majority oUer d1y other cdndi-
date should have been declared duly nomi-
mated. The reason is obvious from the
following, which was the second BALLOT
Elias McHenrv had Is votes

consequently, if Mr.. McITenry was nomi-
mated on this ballot Mr.. Fruit was fully
nominated on the preceding one. Neither
of them had majority of the whole num-
Der Of votes on either ballot; but both Of
them on the first and second ballottings re-
ceived majority over any other of the
candidates-Mr. Fruit never having receiv-
ed less than II votes. The ''Inteligen-
Ger" will thus see the futility ofits charges
If majority Of the whole were necessary
to choice, then Mr.. Fruit should have re.
ceived 81 votes to obtain his nomination
on the first ballot; and Mr.. McHenry woult
not have been nominated on the second bal
lot without having received 80 votes. Blu
they acre nominated by majority ovel
any other candidate; and consequently We
place John Fruit and Elias McHenry in
their regularly nominated order upon oul
ticket, depending upon the facts Of the case
and not on the prejudices of disorganizers,
to sustain our position.
The Columbia Democrat. [volume] (Bloomsburg, Pa.) 1837-1850, 1837-09-30

TThe Disorganizers are indiscliml-
nately abusing all those who dare oppose
their vile attempt at destroying the ancient
usages of the democratic party. Let them
pursue this course to their hearts content
They will be taught lesson in few days
on the impropiiety of their reckless opposi-
ton to regular nominations, which will
make them mend their ways, or send them
where they ought to be-in the ranks Of
the opposition. They might as well Gre
ate and support achole Uolamteer ticket, as
assume the responsibility of erasing a por-
fion Of the regular nominations, and sub
sttuting their favorites to answer their pri-
vate views and feelings. 1t is the heighth
of demagogueism-the verriest attempt to
nullify all party discipline, and force the
majority to succumb to the will of fac
tional minority, who have more officers
than pirates, and more interest in the result
than principle in the question. Such die
tation cannot succeed where there is so
much patriotism, intelligence, and political
integrity, as in democratic Columbia

The Register need not feel uneasy
about the consequences resulting from the
abuse of the "InteHigencer." Ii were prob
ably much better to partake Of his iH-will,
than enjoy his friendship-the latter being
so extremely changeable. In our opinion
"Othello's occupations gone;" and hereaf-
