Another Cause for Rejoicing!
| We extract from the Union of yesterday the
following editorial article, and must express our
astonishment at the apparent ignorance it dis
! plays Of the movements and the men of its own
party-not to charge intentional misrepresenta-
ton in the matter:
| Marshall WLmoT OUT OF THE FIELp-We
are happy to learn from reliable source that she
Wilmot" has withdrawn himself as candidate
| from the field, and that for the purpose Of har-
monizing and uniting the party, Mr.. Lowrey, the
/ regular democratic nominee, has magnanmously
Withdrawn, and that Galusha A. Grow, esq, of
| Montrose, sound democrat Of highly respectable
talents, has been by the conference unanimously
| nominated. This secures the election of a sound
democrat from that strong democratic district, in
place OF the frebrand.
The "North Peunsylvanian," published at To-
wando, in that Congressional district confirms the
statement and says:
'sThe conferees who originally nominated Mr..
| Lowrey and Mr.. Wimot, having received the de-
clinations of both those gentlemen, having unan-
mousIy agreed upon Mr. Grow, of Susquehan-
ma county; and he is now regularly and fairly be-
|
candidate for Congressional honors. We most
sincerely rejoice in this result, and earnestly call
upon our democratic friends to unite cordially in
support of Galusha A. Grow. Not one word of
crmnation or recrlmination shall now disturb n
union formed, we believe, in good faith and
with upright intentions, in both personal and
party point of view. Let by-gones be by-gones;
and instead of remaining subject of dersion for
the wings, who profiting by our quarres
let us rally, with effort and one voice. in sup
port Of our WHOLE TICKET, and we shall triumph
! glorously,''
drawn from the public councils the putatiye father
| of project which has disturbed the country for
three years. Brinkerhof, Of Ohio--a man Of very
superior talents to Wilmot-s entitled to the credit
of Erostratus in attempting to set fire to the tenn
pie of our Union. But the South will hail with
pleasure the banishment OF its foster father to pr-
vate life.
This +" sound Democrat of highly respectable
talents" as the Union terms him, is an open and
ayowed Wilmot-man, personal friend and de-
voted champion of the Wmot Provso and the
condition of WILMoT's withdrawal was that his
successor should be as orthodox as himself
| The New York Ercning Posi- thus exposes the
whole transaction:
! Mr.. Wilmot will have been six years in Con-
| gress, at the close of his present term His dis
| trict has always sustained him, and satis-
fled was prepared TO sustain Linn again, with great
| unanimity. He has always avowed his willing
| hess to withdraw from Congress, and support any
other candidate Of his party, tch0 tropd be, like
him, an unoompromisng and faithful champion Of
free labor As the period the election approach
| ed it became apparent that he would be returned
again, by handsome majority over both of his
| opponents. Not till then was it proposed to ac-
| - IL 4. - - a.
| unanimously made. A committee of conference
agreed upon MIR. G. A. Grow, formerly a law
partner of Mr.. Wilmot still his personal friend ,and
| one Of the earliest and most devoted champions of
the provso, as substitute for Mr.. Wilmot, and
| for Mr.. Lowrey, the other Democratic candidate,
They farther agreed, unanim ousy, upon the adop-
ton of the following resolutions, which, at pub
lie meeting held in the district on Saturday, Mr..
Grow pledged himself to carry out, in letter and
| in spirit, with all his ability:
| Whereas, The Hon. David Wimot and
James Lowrey, Esq, in view Of uniting the De-
mocratic party of the 18th Congressional District
in the support Of single candidate and of making
certain the triumph of sound democratic principles
in the coming Congressional election, have de
! clined.
| "Therefore, Resolped, That we acknowledge no
test but principle in party politics, and as Demo
Gratis, it is our duty boldly to proclaim our prin-
| ciples, and firmly to maintain them.
50 RESOLVED, That we are unaIterabIy opposed to
the extension OF slavery into territory now free,
and that we hold it to be the duty Of Congress to
prohibit, by positive law, its introduction therein.
Resoired, That standing upon these principles,
and relying with confidence upon the integrity OF
G.. A. Grow, faithfully to carry them out in our
national councils, we present him to the demo-
cratic voters of this district our candidate for
Congress, ,s;,.,;
ne in uhi tho Han n Wilmot has adv tod
in Congress the preservation of free territory from
the encroachments of slavery meets the admira-
ton and appreciation of the democracy of this
district"
The Bradford Reporter, which is understood to
reflect the sentiments of Mr.. Wilmot, speaking of
ihis arrangement, says
fs MIR. Grow is gentleman fine talents, con-
sstent and unyielding democrat, an unwavering
friend of free territory, in every way unexceptIon
able a candidate. We tespeak for him now,
The united and Jealous support of the democratic
party He was formerly, for about year, res
ident Of this place, and is well known to many Of
cur citizens.
"By this arrangement there has been COM
promise Of principle The candidate stands by
the unanimous action Of the conference upon the
broadcast and most explicit platform-upon the
very platform, and representing the same prnci-
plies upon which Mr.. Wilmot was appealing to
the people. The cause of freedom carefully
ruarded--it has not, nor shall suffer, in any
particular. The conference vindicated, as far
their action could vindicate, the conduct Of Mr.,
Wilmot, and recognized the necessity which had
forced him TO stand up to defend his principles
against the attacks of its enemies"
/ Now it is clear from this that Mr. WmMoT's
only reason for Withdrawing, was ito preserve
| the unity OF the party"--the Unions darling OBJ
iect. also-and that his successor is as bad as he
is. But, as in "the adjustment" we get rid of the
name of WlLMoT and that is glory enough we
