FOR THE COLUMBIA DEMOCRAT.

county ofColum5ia, now being closed, il is
very natural TO inquire ias 10 the result
What then have the victors gained! And
what have The vanquished lost! First then
wha! have the victors gainedl Much every

bloodless, and triumphant victory, in elect

the intelligence of our state legislature, and
! feel satisfied, that the long sought and
prayed for act Of justice, (the removal Of the
seat OF justice from Dansille TO some more
central posiiion) will al once be effected, so
far as the legislature is concerned. They
have gained the appreciation, not only Of !he
friends of justice and their own conscience.
but they have gained the admiration of their
opponen!s,by the bold and firm s,apd which
they took and maintained, by their honest
and slra.lorward course Of conduct, and
such advantages gained, speak loud in favos
OF the intelligence Of those by whom they
were gained. They have gaineda knowl.
edge of their own strength and resources,
which could be gained in no other way
possible. Then, take all the points gained,
and they constitute a prize worth contend!

indeed did the vic,ors contend.

THE NEXT PRESIDENT.

The State Capitol Gazette, in speaking
of the candidate for the Presidency, makes
the following judicious remarks: "The
unanimous action of the democracy Of
Pennsylvania, is the best omen of the har-
mony and zeal which will secure the elec.
ton Of their lavoriIe, should he receive the
nominstion Of National Convention. With
ONE VOICE will the slh Of January Conven-
lion recommend, JAMES BUCHANAN,
and with every exultaton will his nomina-
lion be received By the democratic republi-
cans Of the State. The admiration of his
talents and principles are unbounded, and
their love for the man is spontaneous. But
how could it be otherwise? His moral
character is uIsullied-eyen beyond the
reproach Of his vindiclve federal opponents;
and as statesman, no one claims superior
knowledge Of the laws and science Of 60
vern,nen:. His eminent talents arc aided
by long experience in various and impor-.
tan. stations, and as a leading member Of
the great democratic party, he has always
firmly and zealously conlended for its ven.
Grated faith and doctrines. He enjoys the
full confidence and esteem Of the entire de-
mocra,ic party of the Union, and is peculi.
arily the favoriso of The great and good men
whom the democracy have delighted 10

our declaration of Independence, ard who
thought Madison "worthy of a ha.er"--
He is the architect OF his OWE fortune and
greatness. having sprung from an humble.
though respectable lamily--he is Intimately
acquainted with the interests and feelings
of the peoples and he has always boldly and
eloquenty represented their wants, ard
consencsd for their rights. In his depors-
ment he is the gentleman and scholar; sffa-
Bile in his manners, courteous and accessible

An IsFANr sMorHEREp.-On Wednesday last
the lady Of Mr.. William George, residing on the
Liberty Road, eight miles from Baltimore, placed
her infant daughter, aged about 3 months, upon a
bed, spreading some light covering upon it, where
she left it in gentle repose. short time after, a
servant of the family entered the apartment with
bundle of clothes, and without perceivng the
child threw them upon the bed, where they re.
manned until the anxiety of the mother was excited
by the protracted slumber of her infant, when, un-
conscious oTthe servants having entered the apart
ment, she nastened &c the bedside: but who can
describe her agony ar finding her little one cold in
death sufocated by the weight thus hecdlessly
placed upon it. Baltimore Sun.
