Our State Ticket.


death knell to the hopes to whiggerry in the old
Keystone State. Beyond question, better nom
nations could not have been made. The Dem
ocracy of Pennsylvania cannot but feel cheered
at the gratifying prospect before them. With
such ticket they have, if they have, if they
true to themselves, their principles and their
cause, victory is certain, and that by untold
thousands
Hon. GEoRGR w. WOODWARD, the candidate
for Judge of the Supreme Court, at present
cupying a seat on the Supreme Bench, is
neighbor of ours, and it gives us more than
ordinary degree of pleasure to be able to bear
testimony to his exalted worth, and his peculiar
fitness for the place to which he hes been nam
ed. As a man, by sentiment, by practice, he is
generous, governed and controlled by high mo-
raj and religious principles, pure and incorruph-
bic, and is highly esteemed by all whose pleasure
is to enjoy his acquaintance. AS lawyer and
jurist his capacities of the first order, his
talents undisputed. He possesses perspicuty
of exposition-a remarkable solidity and sure
ness of judgment, never misled by imagination
"a profound knowledge of all the details and
intricacies of lava marvellous clearness, vigor
and facility of argumentaton-a circumspection
oflanguage and logical, philosophical connec
ton of thought rarely to be met with. His legal
writings, his pleas at the bar, and his public
addresses all show him to be not only scholar,
bat deep and logical thinker re-eminently
so. Altogether his talents are of a superior or
der and such as cannot but adorn and give char
acter to the exalted position to which he has
beon named, and to which he will undoubtedly
be chosen. 1t will be proud day for Pennsyl-
vania when she secures the services of this dis
tinguished and talented jurist in the Supreme
Court
WILLIAM HoPKISs, our candidate for Canal
Commissioner, is man of business habits and
character which well fits him for the station
He was in the Legislature of our State, at the
time when Whiggerry under the lead of Thad-
deus Stevens, opened the flood gates Of its in
iquity, poured its Vandal hordes and attempted
to trample under foot the laws and constitution
of our State, through the aid of the Buckshot
war. stern, reliable and unyielding demo
crat, he could not bear that justice and right
should be disregarded, and elections treated as
if they never had been held, and taking his
tuition, resolved to sustain them die in the at
tempt, he bravely met and manfully battled the
Vandal hordes, drove them from the Capitol,
saved the Constitution, and now lives to enjoy
its blessed protection. He has been, and is
friend of progress, and in favor Of the internal
improvement system of the State. Knowing
this much of him and the unanimity with which
he was chosen by the Democratic Convention,
we are satisfied that more fitting man could
be selected.
All that is wanted now is for the democrats of
the State to rally to the polls the day of
election. With candidates that deserve and
command their highest admiration, with a cause
that lays at the foundation of their future wei
fare and honor, we have no doubt that they will
rally enthusiastically in their support, and
achieve most glorious victory.-Luzerne Dem.

City moments glance at the material of
that mischief was intended.
There were several hundreds of noisy per-
sons near the doors, who were easily recogniza-
BILE as of the Primary Election order, and their
behaviour betrayed their purpose long before
the time of putting it in execution. BY ii o.
clock, the crowd had increased to many thous-
ands filing the space back to the Park railing.
The arrangements for Police were in some way
misunderstood, and no force was present,
that in order to keep the crowd from ransack-
ing the house, it became necessary to barricade
the doors There was great trepidation inside,
for fear that the people would break in, in spite
of the fastenings.
At III o'clock the performers, escorted by
small number of Firemen, arrived, but all at
tempts to get near the house were frustrated
The uproar was perfectly deafening, although
thus far every body seemed to be in right good
humor.
The Firemen and Police made some effort to
clear place for the music, but soon gave it up,
aad the performers stationed themselves as well
as they could, on the west side of the crowd.
Madame Sontag, accompanied by the Count,
now made her appearance and was received
with hearty cheers; but she very much
