JUSTICES


We hope every Democrat in Mont
gomery Township will be at the polls
Dext Saturday. At the Caucus last
Saturday, Mr.. j. p. DEvER received the
nomination, and therefore comes before
the people as the regularly nominated
Democratic candidate. Mr.. DEvER is a
man of excellent good sense and unex-
~ceptionable moral character, and is,
withal, a Democrat "above suspicion"
That he will receive the hearty support
of all good Democrats, we do not har-
Dor a doubt. His opponents, Messrs.
WELLINGTON and PORTER, although prob
ably well enough qualified for the Office,
have never been suspected of having any
great love for Democracy, and therefore
have no claims on Democrats for their
support. We hope Democrats will unite
in making this election a strict party
test. As large streams are made up of
numerous small tributaries, so all little
victories serve to strengthen and build
up great political parties.

Sudden Death.

Judge John G. Larue, one of the most
eminent lawyers in new Orleans, died
very suddenly on Monday, the 9th inst
The Picayuue says:
The manner of his death was awfully
sudden. His wife had been i~ndisposed,
and he remained home to keep her CON-
pany. He lay on a low sofa, quite well
and uncomonly cheerful. She recIined
along the floor leaning on his shoulders,
his arm about hcr-the child on the So
ia playing with its father. Suddenly
the little girl asked, abruptly, Papa,
what makes your eyes roll 500" and
with a ~convulsive stretch he said to his
wife, " My darling, I I'm dying."-Not
unused to spasms of fitness, she answered,
"Don't dear-don't brighten me so."-
" 1 tell you," replied he, with emphasis
" 1 am dying" She started to get res
toratives; be said, "No, no." She
rushed to the window, calling for SER
wants, A doctor, a doctor !" and turn
ing saw his face distorted and his hands
clenched. His only words were," No, no;
let me die in peacel' when his face recov-
cred a smiling expression, his limbs re-
Taxed, and he breathed but two or three
times again. The shrieks of his wife
and child alarmed the house and neigh
borhood but all efforts at resuscitation
failed. From fullness of life to torpid
death the interval was scarcely five
minutes.

Col. Eremont's Defeat in Cali
fofnia.

It was generally expected that the
vote of California would be given 10 Mr.
Buchanan, but it was not generally ex-
pected that Fremont would be beaten
so badly there as the result may be east
ly explained. The opposition to the
democracy in California has always been
a minority party. 1t was somewhat
strengthened a year or so ago by the in
fusion of Know Nothingism, where the
prejudice of American miners against
foreign interlopers made Know Nothing
ism a practical thing. Hence the vote
for Fillmore. Between the organized
Know NothiDgs and the democracy there
was but little margin left for the e
party of Fremont. Then, again, his
cause-was injured by that Mariposa mo-
nopoly, one of the series of land pur
chases agains} which tie miners and
squatters have set their faces. And
again, the financial transactions of Pal
mer, Cook s. co. operated directly amor G
the losi rg p ople of california to the pref
u lice of Fremont. Lastly, there is
ast: ong lecv4ning of the Southern slavery
element among the California politicians,
and in favor of making the southern half
of the State a slave State. All these
causes combined to help Buchanan and
Fillmore and to damage Fremont. He
was started in California when parties
were made up. His vote is, therefore,
but the loose materials which he picked
up in a month or two from the camps
of the democrats and the Know Moth
ipgs.-.Ne11 York Herald.

From the Ohio Statesman.
Meeting of the Electoral College
of Ohio.

AS it may be of interest to some who
are not posted on the proceedings of the
electoral colleges after being elected by
the people, we give from the Journal a
report of the mornings proceedings on
yesterday, of the Fremont electors, who
met here, as the law provides, to cast
their votes for the State Of Ohio:
1.-The gentlemen composing the Re-
publican Electoral College of Ohio, met
this morning at o. o'clock, in the Archi-
organized as follows:
Gov. Chase, who was present, arose
and stated that it was his duty by law to
furnish the electors with certificates of
their election, and if, upon assembling,
there was any member of tho college
who had not received his certificate, he
was prepared to furnish it to him.
Hon. Caleb B. Smith, one of the cleo
tors at large, then read the names of the
members, and it was ascertained that all
were present.
On motion of Mr.. Herrick, of Por-
tage, Caleb b. Smith, of Hamilton Co.,
was chosen President of the College.
Mr.. Cook, of Erie county, and Mr..
Green, of Washington Co., were chosen
Secretaries.
r. NJ. Corwine, of Hamilton county,
offered a resolution, that the rules of the
U. S. House of Representatives, as far
as they were applicable, should serve for
the government of this body, and hat
on all matters of election, the sense of
the College should be taken by ballot.
The resolutions were adopted.
III. 2. Jenkins was elected Door-keep-
err and Messenger. Mr.. Odlin, of Mont
gomery county, and Mr.. Hubbell, of
Delaware county, were appointed a com
mittee to wait upon the Governor to OBJ:
tain the laws relating to the duties of
Electors. They subsequently reported,
which report was accepted.
On motion, Messrs. Corwine of Hamil-
ton, Pennington of Belmont and Humph-

Mr.. Buchanan,s INAUGURAL

A pioneer of the great Inaugural of
March 4th floats to US from Wheatland
in the shape of q reply made by Mr..
BUCHANAN to an address congratulate
ry, made him by the students of Frank
lin and Marshall College. We cut
from that reply as much as f%orshadows
the strong point which tho President
elect will make from .he Eastern porti-
CO of the Capitol on the 4th March.
Mr.. Buchanan remarked that his cleo.
ton had been alluded to, and he might
be expected to say something on that
point. He had been elected to the high
and responsible Office of President, and
he thanked them most sincerely for their
congratulations; but whether the event
would prove to be a matter of congratu-
lation time alone can determine. With
out saying which party was right CT
which was wrong, the fears of the 'fath-
err of his country" had at last been real.
lied, and we now behold a sectional par
ty-one portion Of our Union arrayed
in political hostility against the other.
The OBJECT Of his administration qcouIa
be 10 destroy any sectional party-
North or Southland harmoni7e al
sections Of Tie Union under a national
and conservative goUcrnn7cHt, as IL araS
fJty gears ago. Unless this be done
the time may com when these section
al auimosities which now unhappily ex-
list may break up the fairest and most
perfect form ofgovernment the san ever
shone upon. But he trusted that the
same Power which had watched over
aud preserved US il the past, will contin
ue to smile NJ on US and make us a pros
porous, united and happy people. In
conclusion, he said, that if be could in
any degree be the honored Instrument of
allaying this sectional excitement and re-
storing the government to the princi-
pies and policy Of the fathers, he would
then feel that he, had not assumed the
arduous duties of the Office in vain.

Disease Vanquished
By DR.. Roback's Scandinavian Remedies

A FTER years of study, analysis and ex-
II pertinent, DIR. Roback, the eminent Swe-
dish Physician succeeded in producing amedi
cine from the mountain herbs of his native
land, which acts directly upon the causes Of
disease in the blood and by restoring the cor
rupted fountain of life to a condition of health
and purity, expels disease from the system
wherever it may be located, or whatever NAV
plants, epileptic and other fits, coughs, con
sumption in its early stages, sore throat, bron-
chitis, fever and ague, asthma, low spirits, sex
ual incapacity, feminine weakness, pricking Of
the skin, symptomatic of paralysis, rheuma<
tlsm, neuralgia, tunnor, cancer, diabetes, lassi-
tude and debility, diarrha, and all other dis
riders of the organs of respiration; the liver
the kidneys, the stomach, the nerves, or the
muscular fibre, are unerringly cured by this
preparation. 1t is to the MATERIEs MoRBI, or
seeds of disease, what an alkali is to an acid ;
it neutralizes them with ABSOLUTE CERTAINTY,
while at the same time it regulates the secre<
tons, removes distractions from the bowels,
creates appetite, renews bodily vigor, and re-
generates every animal function. Such is the
nature, such are the effects of DR.. Roback's
famous SCANDINAVIA BLooD PURIFIER, which,
taken in conjunction with his BLOOD Pills. will
not only obliterate the most painful diseases,
but prevent their recurrence, and lengthen life
beyond its ordinary span.
