Mr., FORSYTH Against the Ticket.

Notwithstanding the information we gave our
readers last week, we learn tha, VIM. Forsyth, has
since determined to be candid for the Sen te.
against the regularly nominated Democratic cand-
date, Jesse G.. Horton. VIM. Forsyth, is the last
person that ought to volunteer against 'he ticket
Such course in him, is on outrage upon the De
mocracy OF the District. HIS nomination in this
county, as We have repeatedly asserted and as Of.
ten proved. was brought ahou, hy bargain aud sale,
and hy the ueschery Of one Of the delegates
His nomination was much ofa surprise to the
people Of the county, as II was in oppo. i,on to
their wishes. The conlerees fom this county, ad.
done il the wishes Of the Democracy Of he county
had been regarded, or con,u ued in the least. Tha,
the conferees from the other counties would pre-
fer another person was to lie expected, and was E.
conference, and if there is any dissa,sfac on ut The
result, i, is owing to the ohs,inacy, Of Mr.. For
syth's conferees. He has no rghl to complain The
nomination of Mr.. Horton, fImly made and
there can I've no objection that ground. What
peculiar capacity then has Mr.. Forsyth for the
station he seeks with so much per,inacity 3, He
has none. His education and qualifications, are
very ordinary indeed, and not such to fit him
for the office of Senator. The only time he was
ever known in the politics of this couny was when
he was a candidate for Sheriff, on the Federal
ticket, and defeated. He originally. and for 8
long time Feierslist, ardent in the support of that
party, but having great hankering for office, he
has lately crePt into the Democratic party Of this
county, and now like all renegadoes he is willing to
divide and defeat, if he cannot conquer. He is
still federa'ist at heart, hut a democrat, for the
sake Of Office. He knows that he cannot he elect
ed, but he is willing to divide the party, and Sc
cure the election ofihe Whig candidate, Mr.. Quay
of Clinton county, who has been nominated by the
Wings, since they learned that Forsyth would
run against the ticket. Let every Democrat sticl
to the ticket and defeat his selfish purpose. Ou
ascendency in the next Senate, depends upon th,
election ofa democrat from this district. The bes
interests Of our country intimately connecte,
with the triumph of Democratic principles, and lie
Democracy Of old Nor humberanI contributed il
the least TO mar that triumph and divide and defea
the democratic party. Lay aside then all preju
dces-s feeling of dissatisfaction; go TO the Poll
and vote for the regularly nominated Democrat
candidate JESSE e. Horror.

or Will our neghbor Of the Gazette point out
to us where predicted the passage ofa high
tariff bill. The term high fariE, VIC never made
use of because of ITSELF it has meaning, for who
can define the limit, when il is high or low We,
however predicted and advocated the passage Of
tariff, ,ba, would protec, our manufacturers and
mechanics from foreign pauper laborers, and such
bill did pass, and supported by the whole
Pennsylvania delegation in Cong ess. On The o.
ther hand, the Gazette, and a few of its kindred
free trade prints, advocated the free trade horizontal
or 20 per cent. tariff, which, Mr., Buchanan in his
speech denounced as most iniqutous and unjus,
measure. and one that must ruin the manufac.
tutcrs, mechanics and lahorers of Pennsylvania.
In support OF this, we refer tn the speech of Nh
Buchanan. In regard to the price OF wheat, we
say that more wheat has been shipped to England
since the passage of the tariff, than during the
tine. for several years past. The truth is, our
free trade advocates, have been most awfuIly
swamped. You mus, ,ry il again, neighbor, but
stick TO the text.

If,his gentleman had never been in favor Of

not have been surprising; but he endeavored TO have
himself placed on the Democratic ticket as the par
ty candidate for Sheriff. and that too by bargain and
sale, very dishonorabe 10 say the least and il
is the height Of Inconsistency for him now to cry
out "let US break down the ticket system" He
was very willing to avail himself Of the advantage,
which nomination by the Democratic conven-
ton would have given him, and il very selfish
and contemtshle in him to decry the very means
that he would have gladly used to put himself into
office. Three years since, Mr.. Lake came out in
publication. and CONT addicted a report tht he was

UJ The Sunbury Gazette oflast week, in giving
an accoun, of a meeting held at Northumberland,
in favor Of VIM. Forsyth, says, that the meeting
nominated John w. Miles for Pro,honotary, and
Edward Oyster for Register and Recorder. Now
so far as the nomination Of Mr.. Miles and Oyster
is concerned, the Gazette is entirely mistaken ; no
thing done, in regard to the nomination of Pro.
thonotary and Register and Recorder The meeting
having been got up Ivy Mr.. Forsyth's selec, friends
they Of course, djsapproved of the nomination of
Jesse &. Horton, as Senator, lut did nothing in
regard to the Officers Of Prothonotary and Register
and Recorder, aud will, we presume, as matter of
course, support =. d. jordan and E. Y. Bright
for those Offices as all must admit, that they
fairly nominated, and are the regular candidates of
the democratic party.

Democrats of Northumberland County, recollect
that in "Cnion there is strength" II you suffer
strife and division to enter your ranks, yonr enc.
mics, who are ever the alert, and ready to take
advantage Of the least breath OF dissa,i faction, will
triumph. Tilted you have nothing to fear. The
primo pies for which you have long and successfully
con,cnded, are of vital importance TO you, and can
only I've perpetuatrd by active, united efforts. Put
down every atemp, to discord in your ranks
and teach by your votes on the day of the election,
the men calling themselves democrats, who are de.
termnrd upon running in opposition to the regu.
lrly formed ticket, that such conduct will not be
sanctioned hy you. The selections made Ivy your
delegates of individuals TO fill the various county
Offices ought aud no doubt will receive your hearty
support. They are competent, and well qualified,
il elected to give general satisfaction and strength
to the cause.
Jacob Gearhsrt, is known as q man Of inelli>
gence, farmer and friend ofequa righ,s-opposed
to monopolies of any kind. and in favor Of those
principles, which it is your duty and interest," 10
sustain. Suffer not your political enemies OF dsap-
pointed office hunters, to persuade you TO abandnn
him.
Felix Msurcr, has long been esteemed 70, honesty
and devotion TO the party. OF his fItnes for the
office of Sheriff his enemies do not doubt, why then
not support him Had he stood a chance for a
nomination, and been disappointed, his course
would have been, that of every honorable demo-
crat submission to the will of the people, and
hearty support OF the ticket, formed by the peo>
pie.
Samuel d. Jordan and Edward Y. Bright, are
favorably known as correct and efficient officers
They have both been tried and have not been found
wanting-more judcious selections could not have
been made, men selected, better qualified for the
Offices for which they have been nominated. Mr..
Bright is well acquainted with the German and
English language, and has q very correct know
ledge, of the business Of the office for which he s
candidate, and from his obging disposition no
doubt, will give general satisfaction, TO all who may
happen to have business with him. such men You
want, and such men will receive the support Of The
party.
The selection for Coroner is n good one. Charles
Weaver is democrat Of the frs, water--highly
respected, and well qualified for that office
Again entrea, you to adhere to the ticket a
, departure from il now is dangerous Those who
are running in opposition to it, not hetter quail
fled, and have no higher claims to your support,
than The gentlemen who have been selected by
r your deegates,-Why then prefer lhem Win you
reward them for their ,teasonHble conduci.-Com-
, plants of unfarness urged by some, perhaps
all of The volunteer candidates. These complaints
have always been made, seldom OF ever, however,

have ioned the party, at late hour. for the sake Of
office. DEMOCRAT OF AUGUSTA.
