The division of the democratic rar,v in

ted never had any interest in common with
the TRUE DEMOCRATIC PARITY having in
TACT mainly sprang from tory origin-nor
Is 1t at all likely will ever prove in anv
way useful to the true republican princi-
Piles.
The people have not forgotten, that in
the fall of lS47, and winter of ls4s, the
edlct was issded from Luzerne county, TO
betray Mr. Buchanan, in The selection of
Senatorial Delegate to the State Conyen-
ton. For this purpose, Mr.. Buckalew,
was nominated by the Luzerne county
Convention, and his nomination was con.
CURED in by Columbia. He cast the vote
OF tins district, which had been thus sur
reptltiously obtained, against that good and
great man, and he was defeated for the
Presidency. This act was in direct viola
ton of the wishes of the democracy.
The next issue raised by that interest,
was the unwarantable entree into our
county of select Delegation from Lu-
zerne, to dictate our Senator, and who
with brazen perseverance attempted to
force that gentleman upon US, when our
true policy was to nominate Capt. Full
mer, but which resulted in the selection
OF lhe present Senator.
The Congressional election last fall
opened another scene in the political dra-
ma. Col. WRIGHT, was fairly nominated
by majority Of as Delegates in the Dis
trct, as he was by two of the three coun.
ties and four out Of the six COnferees.-
That same interest,trueto their treacherous
colleagues above, again entered the arena,
and under pretence of supporting Mr.. Col
lings, the Stump candidate, defeated the
regular nominee and elected Chester But.
Ter TO Congress.
Thus sccesslul in the work of mischief,
the Ceilings Press, was next established
in BlOomsburg! When the Canal Com
missioner question opened, true 10 its als-
glance to the "disorganizers in Luzerne,"
the conductors of that rotten coAcerne ars
rayed themselves against the voice of this
district Notwithstanding their wel-laid
plan to lasten upon us one of their sUorn
diSOrganizerS, they were foiled in the al
tempt, and GAMBLE DELEGATE
WAS ELECTED. The people were
again to be betrayed, and what they fall
ed to perform here by trick, they accom-
plished by treason in Pittsburg.
Fellow citizens, the result of which was,
this District cast her vote AGAINST MIR.
GAMBLE But did the outrage stop
here BY no means. Reuben ". Heq-
0cr, (Ihe youthful upstart who embarked
IN the editorial life for the avowed purpose
Of obtaining "political distinction,") advo-
Gates this tremendous wrong upon The
tights of the democracy and the usages
of the district. Strange to me it is, that
such Snot-noSe diSorganizer should be
'ountenanced by an honest community
But sometimes, for a season, it so happens,
hat lmpudence and presumption fare the
'est. 1t may be so with him.
Judging from his past conduct, would
'e derelict in duty to my fellow citizens,
I'D not speak plainly and warn them to
1ar& the traitor. The course of this "nice
'oung man." has been most unfortunate
or himself and injurious to the democrat
C party He has thus far destroyed every
mans prospects whose cause he has as
umed to sustain, amongst whom are som
u our most worthy citizens, and / deep
egret to add, my solemn conviction, Oh
here are few more on the way to shs
he same fate.
Mr.. Editor and Fellow Citizens, | will
'nly add in conclusion, that the course of
hese young aspirants, of which Mr.. Wea-
er, assumes to be the leader, is SO well
nown and fully understood that heir fu-
