THE RESULT IN THE COUNTY.

The elections in this County have resulted
in the election of the democratic nominees,
by majorites much reduced as compared
with the result in 1874. The majority for
Longstreth for Governor is 59s. In l844
Shunks majority was $50. Gen. Petriken's
majority for Congress is l53. In 1914 it was
700. E. Y. Bright's majority for Senator is
5l1. Geo. A. Frick's majority for Assembly
is 622. MIR. Covert is elected by majority Of
AIT. He was sustained at home, and will no
doubt make an excellent officer. Mr. Farms.
worth was elected Prothonotary without op.
position. His attention to his duties and his
obliging disposition, has made him many
friends. The office Of Register s. Recorder,
was severely contested between Mr.. Pursel,
the regular candidate, and Mr.. Irwin, voun.
tecr. Mr. Irwin is elected by majority Of
223 Mr.. Chas. Weaver was elected by a.
handsome majority over his whig opponent.
a very clever man, who was not idle during
.L~-r-,osr Tho o.h~~ Al ~' -''-'"'
for Coroner and Mr.. Caul the Auditor, were
elected without opposition.
The greatest struggle was probably for the
Senate, and had that portion of the demo-
cratic party, in the upper end, who are al.
ways finding fanlt with the democracy in this
quarter, been as true as their professions,
MIR. Bright's majority would have been not
less than one thousand--more than enough to
elect him. This shameless detection by the
would-be Simon Pures of the party, will no
doubt meet with its proper reward.

THE RESULT AND ITS CAUSES.

The result of the elections throughout
the State, will, no doubt, mortify as well
as surprise many. To us, we confess, the
result was not wholly unexpected, and
therefore not surprising. We have thought,
and we have said, for years past, that the in-
evitable tendency of the policy pursued by
those in power, must necessarily bring a.
bout such aresult. The people of Penasyl-
vania are emphatically an industrious and
working people, and it is therefore natural
to suppose that they would be Jealous of
their rights in protecting that industry.
The sudden and shameless desertion of those
who professed to be governed by the prin-
ciples Of the tariff of 1912, is now every
day made more and more apparent. This
together with the free soil principle, which
naturally finds response in the breast oi
every Pennsylvania, and the bad policy,
oftruckling to the political interests of the
South, are now made manifest.

was TO the very battle fields OF Sarato-
"a and Yorktown? And yet, how IN
considerable a part efour country was
ever trodden by the American SOL
der, or within actual reach OF his arm.
And vet, how many hearts throughout
the contest beat high with true loyalty
TO England, and were striking or burn
ing TO strike for her standard. No. sir,
the proposition is not true as II is some
times understood. Ii means only the
ability 10 make the usurpa,ion good by
force of farms when the usurper's title is
By force of arms assalled. Subject to
this test,who can doubt that Texas had
the ability to maintain the title to any
Of the territory claimed by her between
the Nueces and the Rio Grande? Let
the facts give the answer. Alter the
declaration Of independence, and alter
she had by force driven the Mexican
troops across the latter river, they al
forwards returned but twice and were
each time driven back; and from the
period of the last incursion, in 1888, no
Mexican soldier ever CT ossrd the river,
and no civil officer of Mexico ever ex-
ercised jurisdiction over IT.. Tcxa then
claimed the territory; Texas drove
Mexico from it; Texas had apparently
the power, and certainly the will, TO
drive her from it whenever she invaded
il. IL these were the facts, and ap.
peal TO the honorable Senator fromTex-
q, for their truth, what doubt is there,
that TO that part of her constitutional
limits she has a perfect title.
Sir, a word or two more, and upon
thi, poin. | have done. What Sena-
Tor, what American, would be now
content to abandon the territory, make
the Nueces the boundary, and fight on
" for that boundary? For peace, to
nut an end to the war, to spare the lur-
Their elusion of blood, some might be
found who would by negotiation agree
to ,ha, limit Of Mexico-would surren'
der NIL title TO the rest Of Texas. But
who is there who would now propose
TO fall back to the Nueces, and abandon
at once the immediate territory, the
very fields Of Palo Alto and Resaca de
la Palma TO Mexico, and fight her on
" to the banks of the Nueces? ] be-

The Campaign,

We notice that in several counties in this State'
the democrats are. entering upon the Gaming cam
paign with spirit and energy. A disposition seems
to pervade the ranks which must, undoubtedly,
insure a glorious triumph to the democracy on the
second Tuesday of October next. Already nave
numerous meetings to ratify the nomination OF the
9Th of January Convention, been held throughout
the State, and the cry has gone forth for "WEL
LER AND V~ICToRY?'
If the democracy of the State are true to them
selves, and leave entirely out of view petty b'ck-
erings and private griefs, which are only interest
ing TO thuse immediately concerned, and rally man
fully in support of the nominees of the party, they
will have nothing to fear. Let them enter the
| contest with a determination to conquer; with the
motto, Sc Union, concession, h~drmony---eoery thing
for the cause, nothing for men," inscribed upon
their banners, and victory will be ours.
We suppose that our Central Committee will, al
the proper time, call a Convention to put in noml'
nation candidates for the various offices to be TILED
at the approaching election. The claims of these
nominees it will be our duty, as the conductor Of
a political journal, dependant upon the democratic
party for support, to advocate with what little abll'
ity we possess--and that we will do.
With Gen. Cass as our nominee for President,
Weller for Governor, and a regularly nominated
ticket for the balance of the offices to be filled atthe
coming election, Monroe county may be set down
as good for 1000 democratic majority. Mark the
prediction
We pledged ourselves last fall to devote our en-
ergies for the success of the democratic party and
its nominees, and to oppose all and every thing
calculated to divide and distract the party We
here again renew that pledge; and promise that all
who oppose a thorough organization OF the party
shallreceive the unqualified opposition Of our paper.

Albert Gallatin.

The wings, with MIR. Clay at their head, are in
perfect ~ecstasies over a certain production by the
gentleman whose name heads this article, against
the war. Mr.. Gallatin has put all his energies ia
work in order to prove that we are waging an un'
necessary and unrighteous war against Mexico.
In order that our readers may know who Mr.. Gal.
latin is, and to whom Mr.. Giddings wished Con-
gress to give a vote of thanks for the aforesaid pro-
duction, we extract the following from a speech Of
Mr.. Clay's in 1882:
"But, sir, the gentleman 10 whom
am about to allude, although long a res
ident of this country, has no feelings,
ma attachments, nj s~ympathies, no prin-
ciplcs, in common with our people,
Near fifty years ago Pennsylvania took
him to her bosom, and warmed, and
cherished, and honored him; and how
does he manifest his gratitude? By
aiming a vital blow at a system endear.
ed TO her by a thorough conviction thai
it is indispensable to her prosperity.
He has filled at home and abroad some
of the highest offices under this govern
ment, during thirty years; and he is still
at Heart an alien. The authority O
his name has been invoked, and the la.
bors of his pen, in the form Of n memo.
rial to Congress, have been engaged to
overthrow the American system, and
to substitute the foreign. Go home TO
your natire Europe,and there inculcate
upon her sovereigns your Utopian doc
trines of free trade; and when you have
prevailed upon them TO unseal their
ports, and freely admit the produce Of
Pennsylvania and other States, come
back, and we shall be prepared to be.
come converts. and to adopt your
faith"

Congressional,

We deem it unnecessary, so long as the debates
in the Senate, on the Ten Regiment bill, and in the
House, on the Loan bill, continue, to occupy
much space in recording the doings of Congress.
1t cannot be expected that much business OF i'm
portance will be transacted, whilst there is SO
strong a desire for speech making manifested
We would remark that the debate, in the Senate
on the Ten Regiment bill, still continues, and VIII
be likely to continue, until each member has had
his say. In the House the discussion on the Loan
bill will probably occupy as much Of the time Of
the Peoples Representatives, (!) as did the reso'
lutiops to refer the Presidents Message to appro-
pirate committees--eight aoeeks! Thus are the
measures Of the administration, for a vigorous pros
%ecution Of the war, delayed. Should any portion
Of our army meet with reverses from want OF mel
or means, the wings will be loud in their denunci
atoms of the President for not sending more troop
into Mexico.

For the Sperit ~of.democrasy.

Dear sir:
take up my pen to inform you that ] seed a
PEGS IN your paper; put in, by the frens of Mexico,
putten Tom Corwin and Sanity Amy up for Pres
dents. Now ] am a whig, a rale seuenty-Sirer,
and as much aposed to. war as any one. Well,
have waited a long time for sum of the leedin wings
to take up this question, and rite omit. But it seems
tina wont DO it. So I take up my pen as sed a
fore. Now Mr.. President-shaw! | am in the hab'
il of speekin SO much in the Cla club meetens that
7 sed Mr.. President here. was goen to say that
l had no objection to Corwin or Mr.. Sanity Amy
on war, for on this think tina would SCOT neerly
all our party, becase Mr.. Corwin wont fife none
and Sanity Amy wont fife no longer nor he cant
helm it. But war is every thing, and am in ia:
vcr of Henry Cla for President, He is jist as good
apin war as Mr.. Corwin or SANITY Amy, and it we
elect him, we wont need no wise president, for he
can make 'em do what ever he pleases without any
one to help him. This would make a saven OF
mummy, and that's whatI call entrenchment, and
that's what we 20 for. And Cla can do some
thing else beside 60 agin war; he can make mummy
lust as plenty as blackburds in corn planter. l
am aposed to Scott, far he is two much for fiten.
Tho he amt to blame for that as much as some 9TH
ers. He larnt to fte at old Lundy Lanes, and he
cant quit. Its jist like larnen to drink Ticker. And
as for Taller, he flies them MexikIns SO much !
don't beleave he is a wing. l wontg go no man that
does SO much iten. Now Mr.. P--there I'd like
to a sed it agin. am goen to show now how par
Ties stand on war. In the revolushun' war: that Is
the war No. 1776 the Torys was agin war; ana in
favor of the Inglish, and the wings was agln the
Inglish and for war. And the war No. 1917 the
felsrs that went for war was called democrats and
them that was agin war was called federals. And
in this Mexico war, the wings has got round agin
war. Now you see in the first plase aposlng
our country in war made 'em tories, and the next
time. il made 'em federals, and the next time II
made 'em wings. Now that is not Bquere; its al
oen to lite and noledge I rite this to sho that oul
fellers can apose our eourtry in war and pc ~ ia

Seabury Ford.

The Gsauga Wing, printed at the
home Of Mr. Ford, gives "a running sy'
nopsis ofhis principles, and among them
the declaration that he is opposed to
all law depriving men Of their rights on
account of COLOR going even further
than Gov. Bebb. =.
The italics Of the words sail law,'
are as we found them in the Geauga
Wing. This is bold enough surely tor
the most fas,idious colo'e7 gentlemen in
the State. The truth is pIain-these
Hartford Convention followers will
never be satisfied until they degrade the
white laborer by overrunning OHIO with
the negro race. A wretched 'nla'ua-
ton seems to addle the brains Of some.
and political recklessness of others.-
How is Ohio TO be benefited by the en-
actment of law that will encourage the
emigration to her borders OF all the float
inc blacks of the Union? Can white
labor be promoted by it? Can the con-
dition Of the mechanics Of our towns
and cities be elevated by this kind OF
mixture and competitor in their labor?
They have it in their power, and as IN
dependent men they should rebuke such
political hucksters, who would sell the
rights of thousands ofhonesl men to Sc
cure the vote Of a knave or fool.
Mr.. Ford, the federal nominee, is OPP
posed to sail lao deriving men 3 OF ihelI
rights on account Of color" This is
going ahead ofGov. Bebb all hoiIow,and
his political grave was dug the moment
the polls closed, never to be again heard
of. only in name. Gov. Bebb proposed
10 stop at a certain point, but Seabury
GOES the whole swine. This pPocLA-
EATON Of the wing candidate to the peo-
Die Of Ohio, is in accordance with his
votes on the journals of the Ohio Leg
islature. 1t is for the honest, correct
thinking men of both parties to say
whether such doctrines are 10 prevail
in this State.-Ohio Statesman.

REMARKABLE.-A gentleman in New Jer-'
sew, near Philadelphia, had been for a long time
sick, and was treated in the usual way for an afiec-
ton of the lungs by two eminent ply sicians, untis
the disease assumed such a malignant form that
theydeclared the patienth had a confirmed consump-
tion-that medicine could do no more, and ne
must die. His breath was so affected by the dis.
ease that no one could stay IN his room but a short
time. At this stage, when all hope had fled, .
friend gave him a bottle of Wistar's Balsam OF
Wild Cherry, declaring that at any rate it couidd 40
him no harm. He took it and grew much better.
He continued the use Of il, and by using three or
faur bottles was completely cured. -
We shall have the full particulars Of the above
case in a few days, duly certified, SO that no one
can dispute it.

Ohio Legislature,

We do not pretend to keep pace with the doings
of the present wing Legislature. So far as the IN
terests oil the people are concerned, AN adjournment
ought to have taken place about the first OF
ary. The money OF the people is squandered that
the members may hear themselves talk upon some
fayorite topic or other, which, to their constltu-
ents IS of but little Importance. We await with
considerable anxiety the publication OF the list OF
Acts of General Nature, in order that we may
show TO our readers, what the Legislature has
o,a I'd benefit them. If their interests have been
advanced...if they will enjoy any greater security
of life, body, health, or reputation, on account
of the action of the present Legislature, we
wish them to know it. IF not, the taxpayers
should hold the wings to a strict accountability for
the waste of their money.
POSTSCRIPT.--We have just received an
extra Ohio Statesman, setting forth the reasons as
signed by fifteen democratic Senators for leaving
their seats when the Senate was about to pass the
Apportionment Bill. Their "Declaration" VIII oe
faund on the third page Of td.day's paper, ana iul-
" explains the objects and reasons for the course
thew have pursued. When the Constitution of the
State is about to be violated and a fragrant outrage
committed upon the rights and Liberties ofthe PEG
nile. we see no other mode of redress than that pur-
sued by these Senators. We have no room Tor
further comments this week.

A Volume Of Treason.

General Pierce, in his speech at Con-
cord. N. H., last Wednesday, on the
occasion Of his public reception, stated,
that on entering the national palace OF
Mexico, our soldiers discovered a large
number Of sheets containing extracts
from the different papers throughout
the United States opposed to the war.
These extracts were taken lndlscrlmI-
na,ely from all the opposition papers,
and were used by the Mexican govern
ment to produce the impression among
the people of that country,that The peo-
pie and press Of the United States were
opposed 10 the war.-P0sL.

appear, we would like the Gazette 10 inform us
how much calm tUeather we have had for the las
