E4y' The man who stops newspaper
because he is going to get married, pays
poor compliment to his intended, and
probably expects to have no children to
learn to read. The man who patronizes
a foreign paper in preference to one of
his own county, should be made to pay
double for advertisements necessary to be
published in the county, and not be al
lowed the privilege of inserting either
obituary or marriage notices, without
paying for them as advertisements; be-
sides, he should be excluded from all
posts of trust, profit or honor The man
who attempts to run for office without
taking county paper, should be struck
with string-halt, ringbonc, and SPAWN,
all at once, if there be no other way to
beat him. The man who orders paper
discontinued without paying up, is an
unrelieved sneok,, and ought to be set
aaoat on peeled saw-log, and landed
con the other side Of Jurding" The
man who takes a paper and pays for it
in advance, or which is we'll enough,
within the year, is gentleman and a
good citizen in every sense of those terms,
and deserves we'll of his country.

THE PHILADELPHIA ELECTION.

The result of the Philadelphia NUM-
cipal election, which took place on Tues
day last, is another conclusive evidence
of the rapidly dying power of the Know
nothing faction. The Philadelphia vic
tory over that false and malignant polit-
ical heresy is nearly complete. Less
than two years ago the secret order man
aged to carry that great city by ma
jority OF some nine thousand, and now
they are overwhelmingly defeated! Less
than two years ago they came into power
with every demonstration of rejoicing,
aud now they have fallen so low that
there are none so poor as to do thcmrev-
erencc. Less than two years ago their
newly-elected Mayor erected the standard
of political prescription and religious
bigotry at the very doors of Independ-
ence Hall, and now whole community
revolts from the disgraceful and humili-
ating sequel. The best men of the
Wing party, who might have tolerated
this new scheme at first, now stand aloof
or openly denounce it. In spite of the
vast patronage brought to bear, the final
catastrophe has been achieved, and the
secret conspiracy perishes the theatre
of its proudest triumph The victory of
Tuesday last was not mere party victory
many honest Wings have aided to
bring about the happy result.
All honor to the noble hearted Demo-
Gratis of the North. Already are they
buoyant with fresh courage, and eager
to follow their time-honored standard to
the next Presidential conflict. They
are ready to unite on a common national
platform with their brethren Of the
South, and they are resolved by the union
to achieve common national triumph
in the contest of 1856. They will stand
and act together on that platform, and
the result will add another proof that the
safety of the federal Union is in the
union Of the national Democracy.

HENRY CLAY AND FUsIoN.-We COM
mend to all those editors and quondam
Wings, generally, who are desecratng
the memory and attempting to tarnish
the fame of HENRY CLAY, by connecting
his great name with Know-nothingism,
to the following language uttered by
that illustrious statesman sometime pre-
vious to his death:
But if it (the Wing party) is to be
merged into contemplate abolition
party, and if abolitionism is to be in
grated upon the Wing creed, from that
moment renouncc the party and cease
to be Wing. go yet step further
If am alive, will give my humble
support to that man for the Presidency
who, to whatever party he may belong,
is not contaminated by fanaticism, rather
than to one who, crying out all the time
that he is Wing, maintains doctrines
utterly subversive of the Constitution
and the Union"

BLOODY DuEL-We learn that, on
Saturday last. a duel was fought on the
line of North and South Carolina, be-
tween DR.. wilkins and Mr.. Flanner, a
commission merchant, both of Whining
ton, North Calolina On the first fire,
the ball of the latter cut off part of the
Doctors ear; the second fire put his ball
through the Doctors hat. Nothing
daunted, the later coolly remarked that
his hat was n,w one-and desired that
IL should not be aimed at. The seconds
here intcrposcd and used their best eff
forts to reconcil. the difficulty, but with
out success. The combatants then re-
sumed, when tie Inflated Doctor was
killed at the frs fire The quarrel orig
mated on politicl grounds.

Eg- There is at the present time no
power in this country but the Democrat
ic organization that can be relied on to
stem the surging tide of Abolitionism.
This is the party of obedience to the
laws; of fidelity to the obligations of
the Constitution and whose comprc-
hensive policy is calculated to preserve
the Union. Repudiating the demagogue-
ism that panders to sectionalism, it bears
aloft the banner that waves over the
'cholc country; and, relying on the JUS
tice of its principles and measures, it
appeals to the patriotic and the national
for verdict. On its side, as against
the prevalent sectionalism, is a long
line of illustrious statesmen. At their
head stands the Father of his country.
If every UNION injunction of the immor-
tai FdercU address is not rebuke to
this sectionalism, language has no mean
ing. Read that address Read its with
ering denunciation of geographical par
ties. Read its affectionate exhortation
to cultivate the unity that makes one
people. Read its indignant frown upon
those who attempt to ALLEVIATE one portion
of the Union from the rest Read its
touching memories of the times when
Independence and Liberty were gained
by "joint counsels and joint efforts ;"
by Common dangers and suferings and
successes" Read all this, and then saw
how patriot can now follow those in
functions without giving his support to
party against which is arrayed COM
bination of factions, the success of whose
measures would inevitably destroy that
palladium of our political prosperity and
safety.
