Low Postage.

The election being now over, we must
turn our attention more particularly to lit
eralure, and questions Of principle, policy
and exPedicncy, And by the way, spea-
king upon this subject, let us say to the
many readers of our county, who do not
now take any paper, that there can be no
more desirable time than the present. TO
subscribe for the "Columbia Democrat"
We know there are many readers and
voters, who al all times eschew politics,
and fell repugnance to merely political
paper-now therefore is the time for them
to become patrons, and they will most as
suredly never regret it.
But this is wandring from the subject
upon which we commenced to write, TO
wit, low Postage--A notion was made at
the last session of Congress to have a still
further modification of the postage laws,
for the accommodation of the reading and
writing public and it is to be hoped that
at this session wise counsel may prevail.
Governments are instituted among men,
not for the benefit of tn eiew, but for the
"greatest good to the greatest number"
The people therefore, who are either ben.
Gifted or cursed, according as governments
are good or bad; have the right to demand
alterations and reforms whenever any one
thing becomes grievance or is susceptible
of improvement.
The laws regulating postage, it is ac-
knowledged,are defective in many respects,
and the convenience of the People requires
that they be modified. We will moi at
tempt to instruct Congress in their duty,
nor try to invent any system; but we
would like to see some sensible and def
mite action on the subject. We are incli-
ned to believe that more revenue will ac-
cure from lowering the postage than other
wse--and in regard to newspapers, there is
much hardship endured.

Volunteer Company.

We are pleased to announce that new
Volunteer Company, under the name ofthe
ct" ColumJia Aniaerists," twas organized BY
Brigade Inspector Seely, on the 22nd of
September, at Light Street, in Columbia
county. 1t is large company, composed
of active ab'e-bodied young men, number
ing near fifty rank and file. The follow
ing gentleman were elected officers;
Capt. A. W. Mcdowell,
Lieut.. sr., II. G. Hover,
Lieut. jr, Theodore Mcdowell,
We again ask our pubic-spirited Young
men of BlOomsburg, they viii not engage
in a similar enterprize? Surely, two or
three such companies ought to be organi-
zed at our County Seat, and we are author
lied to say that Gen, Mcdowell and Mai.

They Say.

Whenever any body comes to you with
a story concerning some body or any
thing, and prelaces it with the stereotyped
phrase, "they say" you may rest assured,
that, nine times out of ten, that report, re-
mark or story, is a. lie. We have generally
found, that those busy-bodies, who make
a practice of telling all sorts of flying re-
ports, good, bad and Indifferent, are either
persons of no character at all, or one of
the most reckless kind, caring neither for
themselves nor for any one else, and de-
failing, with addition, every thing calcula-
ted to i"jure.
It may perhaps be said, that as a gener-
al thing, many of these "They says" are
not exactly, in the common acceptaton of
that term, people of maIevOlent and mis-
chlei-making disposition, but that they are
merely carrying out a particular trait of
their character, and indulging in natural
desire to talk. But whether maevolent or
not, it is always best to avoid such people,
as they are eternally getting one into
os,whch if not injurious.are extreme
ly unpleasant
Ofa'l things, beware Of reports and re-
porters, not excepting even newspaper re-
porters, as glance at some journals will
readily prove. 1t always is their business
to make the most of all things; and they
are most generally individuals of fertile and
prolific imaginatlons.
But we say don't believe them. When
the author ofa report must be suppressed,
there can be no doubt there is some thing
wrong in "Dcnnark." No story, true in
all lis parts, need be prelaced with "lhey
say Let those who know it, report it
boldly, or keep it an entire secret. We
could bring some illustrations of this sub.
Ject, did we deem it at all necessary. No
doubt every man will readily apply it for
himself

"a Dangerous Counterfeit.

We were shown lately says the Philadelphia,
SATURDAY Gazette a counterfeit hall eagle, so skill.
FULLY made as TO render it necessary for all to be
on their guard. 1t was taken at one of our banks,
where 1t escaped detection, and was paid out.
Subsequently was received at the Custom House,
and it was only detected by its trial upon the del
lcate scales in use there. The coin is on the sur
face OF pure gold, and the impressions are in every
respect perfect limitations Of the genuine. Upon
breaking it open, however, it was ascertaned that
the gold was only the thickness of ordinary writ.
ing paper, the inner part being Of Ziuc, lead or
some other base metal. The difference in the
weight of this and The genuine half eagle is scare
ely appreciable upon ordinary scales, and the ex.
ternal appearance is so exactly like those issued
from the Mint as TO prevent The detection Of the
counterfeit by an occular examination. Letal be
on their guard against it,

John MCReynOlds, Esq

This gentleman, it will be seen by the Election
the, Legislature, His defeat was accomplished
by the detection of certain democrats in the re-
moral districts Of Columbia county, who un.
suspectingly although against our strong remon-
STRANGE, played into the hands Of that notorious
and per6deous scamp, "Valentine Best, the Sen.
ator ofvlolaled Pledges, ,"and his associates in the
lower section of the county, and who now have
the satisfaction of witnessing the defeat Of the
regular nominee of the Democracy of Columbia.
We have the consolation of knowing that our own
course was strictly correct, throughout, and we
wish Fei'y Best great joy with his new associates.
Mr. McReynolds now occupies, higher ground
with the REMOVAL Democracy, than he ever
did before-his position is even enviable-and we
are Informed, although we have not seen him
since the election, that when he heard the result,
he promptly remarked, he had rather be the de-
feated nominee of the Democratic party than sue
cessfll by the trick and vote Of DanvlIe.

CANDLES 236, not even . toll

and PHYSICAL skill, arrayed for the pur-
pose; yet, lest said "Corporation" should

that may be elected, to be ruled, governed,
