EV The election is over, and we hope
never to see another campaign conducted
as the one just past has been. The legit-
innate objects of discussion appear to have
been almost entirely lost sight Of and the
canvass conducted by vituperation and
abuse. For this kind of warfare we have
no taste, and although we may occasion
ally be drawn into it, it is always at a
sacrifice of our self,respect.
Yet there may, at times, be some ex-
cuse in mitigation of overstepping, some
what, the bounds OF strict propriety. For
instance, when we see a brave, generous,
high-minded, patriotic and talented man,
represented as craven-hearted, section
al, narrow minded idiot, merely because
he is the car, tidate of the opposite party.
This has most emphatically been the case
of Franklin Pierce From all reliable
sources, we are informed that he is a man
of ability, possessing more than an ordi-
nary amount of the milk of human kind
ness. Yet if the one half that has been
said of him were true, the penitentiary or
tho insane ASYLUM would be his proper
place. Is it any wonder, then, that his
friends should be driven to expose the
fotbles of the candidate of the party ma
king these charges, even though it be at
the expense of their love of the man for
the services he has rendered the country
in his profession, in which alone he ex-
cells.
But we are willing to let by-gones be
by-gones. The battle has been foupht,
and we have sufficient confidence in the
intelligence of the people to believe that
virtue and integrity have triumphed.
We had received no returns when our
paper went to press, but intend issuing
slip as soon as the returns from the coun-
ty can be obtained, and will also add what
may be received from those adjoining
In the course of two or three weeks the
official result will be known throughout
the Union.

To Our Readers.

The present number completes the first
volume of the Register. Our paper has
been in existence one year, and notwith-
standing the predictions of envious enc
mics and the fears of timid friends, our
success has fully equslled our expecta-
tons.
The past years experience has proven
to us that we did not miscalculate the
people of this section of the State. Twelve
months ago we established the Register
Notwithstanding the fate of our predecss-
sors in the business, in the firm belief that
all that was required to ensure the sue
cess of a newspaper in this place, was the
publication of one worthy of support; and
the result has proven the correctness OF
that opinion.
We have a paying list of subscribers
and are weekly receiving no inconsiders-
to merit its continuance. If we succeed
in our endeavors, with the conviction oil
the advantages of local press and the
disposition to sustain one, manifested by
this community, we have no fears that our
establishment will be source of profit to
ourself, while our paper will be made still
more interesting and valuable to our rea-
ders, as we can assure them that we in
tend to keep in step" with the spirit Of
Improvement of the age.
The election is now over, and although
at every contest we expect to be found
battling for Democratic principles, we are
not sorry that this event will enable us tc
devote a greater portion of our paper tc
the current news of the day.
The long winter evenings are common
cling which afford our farmers, the bone
and sinew of the country, nearly their on
ly opportunity for reading and mental i'm
provement, and we hope to receive large
addition to our list from this useful class
of our citizens. =

OLE BULL BECOMING a CITIzEN.-A
Philadelphia correspondent of the Balti-
more Sun, under date of the 18th of Sep
TENDER, in speaking of the naturalization
of Ole Bull, says:
Ole Bull, the great Norwegian violinist.
this morning declared his intention of be-
coming a citizen of this State. The GER
emony, in accordance with his enthusias-
tic admiration of liberty, took place in
independence Hall, an officer of the court
attending him thither for the purpose
The tract of land recently purchased by
him comprises 10000 acres, and several
hundi ed of his countrymen are already
there, hard at work clearing land for the
location of town, and opening roads to
1t from the nearest town. 1t is a wild
section of the country in Potter county,
but the determined effort on the part of
these hardy sons of toll will soon make it
blossom like the rose. He is a staunch
Democrat, and the remarks he made in
his imprisoned language, proves him to
be a republican at heart:
81 desire to be deemed worthy of so
great privilege, and l shall remit no eff
forts to merit it. l have never sworn al
legiancc to the king of Norway and Swe
den, nor to any other potentate, nor have
| bowed the knee 20 any but my God;''
(pointing upwards, and his face beaming
with all he felt within him. 81 shall
value the privilege of citizenship above
every other earthly object, and shall en-
deavor to introduce hundreds of thou
sands of my countrymen to so great a
boon, that they may also feel the great
difference between being a citizen of this
glorious republic, in the full enjoyment of
liberty, and that state of existence in
which they now find themselves.
ALREADY have a thousand NorwegIans
settled within the limits of this common
wealth, in its northern part, and | hope
that before another year expires, many
thousands more will taste the blessings of
liberty in the same locality. | shall not
cease my efforts until my countrymen who
wish to emigrate shall be in the full pos
session of their natural rights, and in the
enjoyme of farm in Pennsylvania"

The Clarksburg Democratic Brass Band

an assemblage of the fair sex cheered the
