Evan @. Jackson.

This gentleman was nominated by the
Democratic Delegate Convention; and al
though by system Of management pecui-
ar to a certain faction Of Disorganiz0rs; yet
we had intended to drown our feelings Of
contempt for the petty intrigues of his
friends, and silently support his election.
Can we do so still? Can we assist in cle-'
vating the very leader of combination of
scurvy politicians, who have rebelled against
usage-scowled at our principles-and who
OpenlV avow ho other determination than
to defeat the wishes and interests of the
Central townships! Shall we pardon the
treason because the traitor is cdlled a Dem
ocrat? NEVER! If he succeeds in his
election, he will owe us nothing-he need
only thank the gullbility of voters, and the
successful schemes of Intrguers and Fac
tonists; and, if defeated, he must charge the
result upon his own and his friends indis-
cretion, and upon the better judgment OF
those who control the operations of the bal
lot-box. He has abandoned our party and
its usages-lce have abandoned him; and
next Tuesday will decide the pending issue
If elected, we shall not grumble-and il
defeated, we shall not glory in his down
fall. We leave it TO THE PEOPLE; and in
theiI decision we shall feel satisfied.

DEMOCRATS BEWARE!

The Danville Faction will attempt to car
ry their points by their old game of issuing
Handblls containing all sorts of falsehoods,
and circulating them on the day of the elec-

neither time, trouble, money, nor low man
agement, to defeat the election of Fruit and
McWilIiams, as MctIenry and Lazarus
stand pledged to go with the Junto of Dis

guard, Democrats! Libels, ISLANDERS, trick
cry, every mean scheme will be resorted to
by the Disorganizors to accomplish their
unhallowed designs against the express ed
will of the majority.

Is busily engaged, in company with John
Lazarus using every means to oppose the
regular nominations, Notwithstanding he is
one OF the candidates on the ticket. He
has bound himselfto the Juggling car of the
Disorganizors-he opposes McWilliams-
and he must be put down for his reachery.
lie has linked his chance with a uoLu,aiesr
candidate-and he can no longer he viewed
as within the pale of regular nominations,

~ T None but all abandoned wretch,
whose hypocritical prayers could have won
the affections and secured the hand of an
heiress, and who three weeks after mar
riage attempted the perpetration of horrid
crime upon sleeping innocence, could dis
close similar feelings to those embodied in
the editorial department of the last "Ber-
wick Sentinel" The prescription ofJl0tk
cats blood, once recomnendedsbg Quack
Sire, should be copiously administered
him; and the once.tbreatened dissolution of
the nuptal tie, shouldbe carried into effect,
to save human nature from being disgraced
with race which most probably will in
herit his BRUTAL disposition and propensi-
ties.-The libeller and slanderer of female
character, who in a political contest can
concoct calumnies and attack the wife and
children of an opponents and who after de-
livering public lecture on religion and
morality, will attempt the destruction of
female virtue, and abuse the confidence of
deceived partner, is only fit for the gal
lows or the penitentiary; and should be
"lashed naked through the world" as an
unfit associate for the most degraded of
Gods. creatures. As Beast, irthe i'm
age his Creator, he can only excite dis
gust in the bosoms of all who look upon
him; and as an educated Viper and Sian
derer, the world should shun him, for his
breath is more dangerous than the poison
Of the Upas tree, while his smile is the
precursor of his base designs upon the in
nocent and unsuspecting. He may escape
public justice for a while; but having the
mark of Cain upon his forehead, he will
suffer infinitely more from seeing the SUI
periority of others, and feeling his own de-
generacy, than if it were meted out to him
with knotted halter. A coat of Tar should
be applied, in conjunction with the barrel
of feathers, upon his naked carcase, to make
the deformity of his body conform with the
foul mouth and wicked heart which sup
port and control its despicable operations;
and he should be drummed through the
public streets as an emblem Of what is most
dangerous to, and despised by, peaceable
and respectable community. This notice
will suffice.

Look at this Picture!!


By referring TO the journals of the House
of Representatives, page 9l0, we find that
Evan o. Jackson is an dUOtOed Bank man;
and that he not only voted against making
stockholders responsible for the issues OF
Bank paper, but actually voted against any
restrictions upon the issue of Bank notes.
On the second reading of the bill to in
corporate the Bank of Susquehanha Coun-
ty, Mr.. Hannon moved to amend the first
section by inserting the following words
viz:
"And that all the private property OF the
said stockholders, in proportion, TO the
amount of stock he, she or they, shall hold
in said corporation, he liable for the pay
ment of all debts of the said corporation,
and the president and directors of said com
pany are hereby required to publish the
names and place of residence, and amount
of stock of each stockholder, and the same
to he posted up in conspicuous part "a the
banking house, and to be corrected month
ly:"
And on the question of agreeing to the a.
mendment, it was determined in the mega
tive-Euan o. Jackson U0ting against III
A motion was then made 10 amend the
section as follows.
"T'hat, if at any time after the said bank
shall have gone into operation, it shall fail
to redeem its notes in specie and become
insolvent, the stockholders thereof shall be
responsible in their individual capacities for
the debts due, in proportion to the amount
Of stock held by each respectively, after the
assets of said bank shall have been appro-
priated to that purpose" ;"
Which wasalso determined in the negative
Jackson vOfing against The amendment
The whole bull was then passed-EUan

cfer opposing the sections restricting us
issues, and making stockholders personal
In responsible! Then, is he not Bank
mana tool of stock jobbers and specula-
tors! Is he not "a Wolf in Sleeps
clothing" Can Democrats vote for him!
Can they trust him! Away with such hy-
pocries! Let us tell him plamly-"out
of thine own mouth have | condemned
thee!'' Let US put him down for his hy-
pocrisy-put him down for a Dsorgani-
zor-put him down as an enemy to our
principles, and an Oflice-hun,er, whose
motto is "principle in proportion 10 inter-
est" We want none such 10 have power;
and the sooner we get rid ofsuch inriguers
and disorganizors-such traitors TO our
ciples-the better for our party and the
country.

A CURIosITY.-Our neighbor, Mr.. Robi-
son, of the Stage Office, exhibited potato
top at our office this week, on which were
seventeen potatoes, of tolerable growth, and
growing from l2 to "a inches from that
part of the stem which was in the ground.
We never saw any thing of the kind be-
fore; and as Mr.. Robson intends prescrv-
ing them for seed, we may next fall expect
a rare nation of potatoes.

Then
TO THE POLLS, DEMOCRATS!
The DanviRe faction have abandoned the
usages and principles of the party-they
have stricken from the ticket the names of
JOHN FRUIT and HUGH McWIL-
LIAMS-they have substituted roiunteer
candidates-and Evan o. Jacksons paper
at Berwick has followed the fshy trail.
TO THE POLLS, DEMOCRATS!
Punish the Disorganizors-punish your en-
emies-and you will do justice to your
selves, your party, and your principles.
Free yourselves from the iron-rod of In
triguers and Demagogues, who would con-
trol every thing for their own aggrandize-
mentor the advancement OF their own
menial purposes.
TO THE POLLS, DEMOCRATS!
Gard on the armor of principle, so long
worn and so gloriously triumphant on ma
ny former occasions. Go for principle
90 for victory. Remember that FRUIT
and McWILLIAMS are identified with
you, in principle and in interest; and when
you give them "the pull-THE LONG PULL
and THE PULL ALTOGETHER"-
you only add fresh wreath to your form
er victories, and save yourselves from the
scornful taunts of those who aim at de-
stroying your harmony as party, and your
rights and interests as individuals. Then,
again we say
GO TO THE POLLS!
Punish sofganization-punish Wolves in
Sleeps clothing-punish the hypocrtes'
who are headed by the Danville Junto, and
at the tail-end of which are Evan o. Jack
son, his sleepy Sentinel, and his Bank
Whig Berwick Shin-plaster wire-workers.
Do this, and your triumph will be one OF
honorable victory-one which will prevent
another attempt of corrupt Demagogues to
impose upon honest credullty, and destroy
the usages and sacrifice the principles of the
great Democratic party.
