quite calm in politics, which may probably
last several days longer.
D. TmE TICKET The delegates met in con.
vention at the Court House, in this place. on
Monday last The proceedings Were conducted
with greater harmony than they have been for
number of years past This augurs well for the
triumphant success ofthe Democracy of old Nor
thumberland county. The present campaign is
one that should have the undivided support of the
whole democracy. The conflicting interests
which have, of late years, divided the democracy
of this county, and proved detrimental to the
party, have given way to a better feeling The
result will prove a larger democratic majority
than we have had for number of years past.

THE RULE.

The Washington Correspondent of the
Boston Courier says that the Senate has
agreed upon the rule to be applied 10 Tyler's
nominations. II is this:
Swing Senators inform me, in regard To confr-
nations of Democrats appointed in place of elected
Wings, they have decided unanimously, upon one
course of action. Wherever Wing has been remov
ed to make place for Democrat, without good and
sufficient charge of official malversaon, or gross in
competency, the new appoinlee will be assuredly de-
caprated. This is TO be the invarlable rule. But
where Democrat has been appointed TO fill a

There can be no mistake in the a.
bove facts; they are a taken from
Congressional report, and were called
cut by ourselves. We can therefore
vouch for their truth. Now, what poor
man will say that the duties under the
present tariff do not-need equallzing.~-
Who will contend that it is right for
the poor man 10 pay II per cent. on
sugar, 81 per cent. on molasses, and
100 per ceat on black pepper, while
the rich man gets his sweatmeats for
Is per cent. and his cosmetics and per-
fumes for 25 per cent? Who will say
that it is right for the poor man to pay
1877 per cent on his stripe shifting, 100
per cent. on his unbleached cotton
cloths, 1852 per cent on his cheap cal
'icoes, 100 per cent on Gotten checks,
1I3 per cent on his bed ticking. while
the rich man gets his Wilton carpeting
for % per cent, his coach laces for 80
per cent; his silk shirts, ready made,
for 10 per cent, his linens for 25 per
cent, and his braids and icurls for 80
per cent? Who will say thatit is right
for the poor man to pay 81 per cent on
his common writing paper,98 per cent.
on plain glass tumblers, 81 per cent on
common window glass, SO percent. on
his log chains, and 80 per cent on
thick soled shoes fes~ his wife, While
the rich man gets his letter and note pa
per for 81 per cent, his polished glass
plates for 6 per cent, his China ware
for 80 per cent, his diamonds for 7 IL
per his watch for Z 1-2 per cent,
his canoes, mozaics, gems, pearls and
precious stones fort IL per cent, and
silk and satin shoes fer his wife for 80
per cent?
But our readers can draw their own
comparisons, and make theirown COM
ments. It's as plain TO our mind, in
view Of these facts, that the present
Tariff is grossly unjust and oppres-
sive and needs anodyfying,as it is the
duty Of the Government o dispense its
blessing like the dews Of Heaven &c
qually upon the just and unjust" with
