SWAPPING VOTES.

mr. No Democrat should be deluded in
to swapping votes with the Wings. We
have every thing to lose, nothing to gain,
BY such a course. Go for the ticket--go
tho whole ticket--and the whole ticket will
be elected. We have decided majority
in the county. The Wings know this, or
they would not propose to swap votes. If
democrats endeavor to advance the inte-
rest, each Of his particular friend, by swap
ping, partial, if not entire defeat will be
the consequence.

A TIMELY CAUTION!

We would caution the democrats 10 look
well TO their tickets before they have them
deposited in the balotbox. Vote early if
possible, but always read every name On
your ticket before you vote. This is the
more important now, because you have a
large number Of officers 10 vote for at this
election. Look out for mixed tickets,
headed democratic ticket" but having
the names Of some Of the whig candidates
on it. Look well to it---beware OF the
!richs of the wings. The cry Of some Of
them now is "We are all wings, we are
all democrats But trust them not. The
leopard cannot change his spots, nor the
Ethiopian his color neither can 'rhig Of
1914, 'eho pOted for Henry Clay, rcceire

The Madisonian says that every fine after
noen, at Washington, Mr.. Ex-Secreiary Bib,
who dresses punc6lliously according to the
old style, in black clothes, -low-crowned bal,
silk stockings and short bFeeches, is to be
seen walking off very briskly to what all who
have been in that City know TO be the long
bridge. Here he changes his walking staff
into a fish rod, with tackle complete, and at
Ter taking from his capacious breeches pock-
ct a tobacco box, filled angle worms, he seats
himself on The rough pier, and hobs with as
tonishIng patience Tor anything below, from a
bull-minner to a ponderous catfish.
Judge Bib was not accounted very wise
Secretary ofthe Treasury, but he may be a
skillfnl angler, and we can easily imagine
that his change of employment affords him
abundant pleasure. The clear stream OF
the Potomac may have charms for a quiet old
gentleman, which he cold never enjoy while
dabbling in the turbid, angry waters o polit-
ical life; and ii must be less trying, if not
more innocent, to bait for suckers and perch
than 10 be baited by a rayenous brood of Of

LAUeHABLE.-The Democratic Associa-

ing a few days since TO sustain the ENecu-
tive, &c. relative to Oregon. Speeches
were made, resolutions adopted, aud all the.
customary movements ola weltdfaled squad
were performed. How ridiculous! Why.
have they Collectors, District Attorneys, Ma
val Officers, &c.in Norristown? Was there
not somebody to tell the Democrats of that
ancient borough that the meeting inPhiladel-
phia was intended as a hunbug, or resulted
in something worse? What initiative ami
mails some people are! The following reso-
luton was adopted:
"Resoired, That as Great Britain has
twice failed in aitemptsto conqnerus-once
in our infancy and once in cur boyhood-we
need not fear her now, since We have grown
10 vigorous. manhood. A third attempt on
her part would probably prove as disastrous
10 her as the third Punic wal 10 ancient Car
image"
Tremendous! But while something is
said about a Punic war. we hearnothing of
''Punic faith"
