"THE DEMOCRACY OF The NOklH"
Many Of our contemporaries who espouse
the cause Of Democracy the Courier OF this
city III particular have been growing lately
{ like Chanticleer,' over the result ofthe Penn
s~ylvania election. The fact is not to be dis
puted that Judge Gamble, the Democratic cam
didate for Canal Commissioner, has just been
elected in that State, by d majority Of proba-
bly, 5,00ovotes-the Pennsylvania says 10000
but the moral Of the result is not so clear
The New York Evening Post. Free Soil, DEM
octatic and Abolitionist, in its issue Of the
18Th, however, tlets the cat out Of the bag,'
and brags that Candles election Gamble
is a good name and almost as sCriptural as
Faro,O is to be attributed entirely to the Free
Soil vote cast by the people of Pennsylvania.
II crows furthermore, ant in the %exhuberance
ofits happiness quotes Mr.. Candles reply
to some interrogatories addressed to him after
his nomination, by the Democrats of Tioga
county. Here is.the quotation, and we com
mend it 10 our democratic friends Of the South,
Look at It:
ITO the first question, namely, : What arc
your views in relation to the constitutions
powers Of Congress to prohibit Slavery in the
territories belonging to the United Stutes?'
answer thatih my humble judgment. Congress
possesses such tohsitutional powsr.
To the second question, namely, { If you be-
lieve that Congress possesses the requisite au
thority for that purpose, are you in favor of th'
passage Of an act extending to all such terri
tories the principles Of the ordinance o I787?
| answer, that lam IN favor Of he passage 3
such an act. 6r the adoption Of any other meas
e ure deemed necessary, III order 10 prohibit III
j. further extension Of human Slauery."
We give this verbatim ct h~terGttnn, italic
y and all. Isitno a beauty?
Il The Post also has two very pregnant pare
i graphs, and here they are. 1t says:
"Gen. Taylot's views about extendin
slavery was not known before his election.
d They were known before the late election
and SO were Judge Gamble's."
T. These mean, we suppose, that Gen. Taylor
views are in favor Of tho rights Of the Sou
Judge Candles exactly the reverse, ar
ln,he Abolitionists Of Pennsylvania vote

q FEW WORDS BEFORE THE ELECTION
As il is but fair 10 presume that every
reader Of our paper has made up his
mind how he will vote for candidates for
political Offices next Monday, we shall
not indulge in the usual capital letter
claP-trap Of ITO the PolIsln sc. &C.
which sicken every sensible man. But
We would ask every Wing under any
possible circumstances, either to assist a
friend or 10 defeat a foe, not TO be guilty
Of swapping a vote. The Military array
q Carthage may possibly have some
effect, and every Wing vote West Of
Pearl may be needed. There is also .
chance that Luxe LEA may be elected
almost . certainty, if epery Wing will dc
his whole duty. And above all, be sur,
when the question Of a Convention /
asked to say No Convention And b,
sure that you all vote. AS 10 tickets
We have printed Wing and Democratic
just as the candidates ordered them-w
baye printed no Others-evory ma
must, therefore, examine his vote L
himself.

OHIo.-According to The Ohio Statesman the
Of that State at the reconciliation decided
in favor Of a convention to revise the sccnstitu-
ton One Of the chief advantages Of this re-
vision will be the adjustment Of the difficulty
which created so much excitement last winter
in regard to the election Of members Of the
LEGISLATURE 10 Hamilton county. The same
case Is presented anew-the Democrats claim,
ing Al the recent election TO have chosen the
whole ave Representative from Hamilton
county by general ticket, while the Wings
claim to have elected twoi in a part Of the SAINT
county. The Statesman says: "W cshall hay,
a convention, but shall not have negro suf
frage."

THE SPEAKING ON MoNDAY-Messrs
and Wllloughby addressed Che
of shis place last Monday The.
speech OF Gen Henry was a very able
one, and was conintd, as was proper, to
giving an account Of his stewardship,
and advocating such measures as he
thought would be conducive to the best
interests Of the State and County
Among other things he urged the con
structlou Of the Rail Road from this
place to Jackson. Also, that the Assess
ors should be required, and paid for SO
doing, 10 report the number Of bales Of
cotton and bushels ofcorn raised amount
Of stock, &c, in each county; he showed
that the people Of this State, as compared
with those OF other States were excess
lively taxed + that monies were drawn
from the Treasury without any appro-
p~riation by law as the Constitution re-
quires; he was in favor Of r~efundlng TO
The counties, to be used for internal i'm
provements, the large surplus in the
Treasury; said he was willing to intro
duce a bill to pay the Planters Bank
Bonds, but would not introduce q bill to
pay the Union Bonds, though willing %
be taxed for their payment; was opposed
10 the Convention because the people
had never asked for it, thought our State
Legislation had been too much controlled
by, and too s~ubservient TO, federal poll
tics; approved ofthe acts ofthe Southern
Convention, but had a firm and abiding
faith that Old lack would pilot the ship
safe through the storm. He touched
upon other topics that do not now occur
to US, and his speech was well received
and sincerely responded TO by the audi
once. .t
But when Mr.. Willoughby, the indie
pendent champion Of Democracy arose,
the applause. was uproarious! Never
was there before such a kicking up Of
saw dust up stairs. His announcement
" .HLT w. .IH-r.N |E.|#." ."
that he was a "Democrot dyed in the
WOOL" was perfectly electric. We for
got our pencil and paper, aud nothing Of
his speech now remains on our " memo
RVS waste" save the recollection Of the
effect he produced Whether this en-
thusiasm will die away with the occa-
sion that called il forth, Or will produce
fruit, will be seen at the ballot-box next
Monday and Tuesday.

Qua PKosFEoTs.-The prospects Of the wings
in the Third District are truly cheering they
never were better. From the east, from the
north, from the west, from the south, and in
deed from every direction, we hear almost
daily, cheering accounts Of the prospects of
Cray for Congress. No sensible, sunpreju-
diced man now disputes that Gray will be
elected; and the only question now remaining
to be solved is by what majority? Many of
our democratic friends admit it to reach as high
as that received by Tompkins over Roberts,
while the wings claim a much larger majority.
But here WI would say a word to the friends
of Mr.. Gray-Do not suffer this cheering state
Of affairs to lull you into apathy; but be up
and doing, and let US strive 10 make his ma
jority reach fifteen HUNDRED votes. If you
will not lag we verify believe this may be done
But let your watchword be onioardi oNwARDl
remembering, in the moan time, that your willy
opponents are leaving no stone unturued e
thwart the wishes Of the people.
