UNITED STATES REVIEW & STATE
RIGHTS REGISTER

RIGHTS REGISTER.
TN CONNECTION with the usual matter,
l. political and literary contained in the USI-
TED STATES REVIEW, we intend to republish all
the state papers extant on the question of state
rights as announced in the Virginia Resolutions
of '9S and 80. The publication will embrace
also the works of standard writers, such as
John Taylor of Caroline, whose works are now
nearly out of print. These valuable political
data will be carefully collected, and when COM
pleted, will furnish complete constitutional
history of our Federal Union. The snbscrip-
tion list of the .State-Rights Register" (the
prospectus of which was issued under the aps
probation of the Democratic members and
cnators in congrcss) will be furnished regular
ly with the Rcriem from this date, and wehope
each subscriber will feel that he is performing
duty to great and sacred political principle
by extending the list Of names already on our
books
1t is time for us to 60 go back to those pure
principles upon which the great fabric of de-
mocracy rests; principles originated and defined
| by those who created, and best understood the
true meaning of the constitution. 1t is time
that the friends of state sovereignty should raj
| " around some common nucleus, to resist the
wild latitudnarianism Of the age, and evident
tendency Of the republic towards concentration
Ito end at best in q mixed monarchy. 1t is
time for each states-rights man to feel that he
must give his own personal individual influence
the dcfe : q of the very cornerstone Of on
constitutional government.
We send the Review to the subscribers o
the Statc-Rights Register, and feel confident
that they will respond heartily to the call.
The true Democracy have n great battle to
fight, great principle of selEgoyernment te
uphold, an inspired Constitution to defend
May each one Of us feel that it is IN individual
duty

TO THE VOTERS or NORTHUMBER
LAND COUNTY
FrILow CITIZENS -

FELLOW CITIZENS - -
The undersigned desires to be elected
DISTRICT ATTORNEY, and respectfully solcits
your votes at the approaching October elect
tion
l am rot tho candidate Of any political
party, because believe that political aibni-
ties alone, should not secure on ofhce into
which partisan feelings ought never to enter.
The DISTRICT ATTORNEY Is the servant OF the
law ; it is not more his duty to convict guilt
by legal evidence, than it is to guard the
innocent and falsely accused. He is an agent
selected by the people to do justice between
the Commonwealth and those who break her
laws. He should not therefore, be subjected
to the necessity Of counting popularity in the
ranks of any one distinctive party but feel
that, in the minds of the people, as well as in
his own conscience, he Is acquitted OF all
political partialites and obligations which
might misdirect, or, be supposed unduly to
control his action. He is required to possess
due knowledge of, and experience in the
science and practice of the law, because
public interests, with the safety of society
lhe lives, character and freedom Of individuals
are, in large degree, committed to his pro.
| tection In his official character he should
be a Lawyer, not partisan-independe
faithful, unbiased, competent, nothing more.
do not pretend my fellow citizens, to be
without political opinions; these, with me,
are convictions calmly and conclusively adj
judged; and, having always due regard for
time, and place, and circumstances, will be
expressed and acted upon with boldness and
perfect freedom.
have frankly exposed my views to you
and believe that most of you will pronounce
them correct if you do so, let me earnestly
solicit your cordial support. ! commit my
self to your kindness and your judgments
entirely confident that an experience of ter
years in the practice Of the law, will enable
me TO discharge with satisfactory fidelity, al
the duties of the responsible Office to which
hope and trust your sufIrages will elect me.
Respectfully, -

HAVE WE COR a DEa1oCRATiC TICKET

HAVE WE cor a DEMOCRATIC TICKET
The question is sometimes asked, "IIave
we democratic ticket in the field? We say,
most unquestonably, we have not. We
would not insult the democracy of Northum-
berland county by calling the mongrel ticket
ofa faction in this place, by the time honored
name of democracy. When did the democrats
Of this county ever find it necessary to place
Wings and Known othings, natura! or arti-
fetal, on their ticket. 1t was reserved for
Major Dewart's faction in this place, to form
fusion ticket, a ticket made up of Office
hunters of all parties for their own selfish
purposes, and then call it democratic. Is it
not reflection on the character Of the demo-
cratic party, to say in effect, rs this faction
has done, that they have grown so weak and
miserable that they must call in the aid of
their opponents and offer to divide with them
the spois Of office. Was ever q greater
slander put on the great democratic party,
than is now attempted to be fastened upon
| it, by this Office hunting faction in Sunbury.
These men are bringing tie democratic
party in this county, into discredit, by trying
to make it appear that they are too weak to
stand alone.
Every one knows that il Bond is void,
in law, in one particular, the whole bond must
fall. Now, any one if he is bound by this fac
tion ticket at all, must vote for wings and all,
but no democrat can be bound in this way.
1t is bond that is void in part and therefore
not binding on any one. No democrat can
be bound by the work of a faction, such as
the one in this place. We contend that there
is no regular democratic ticket in the field
and that Democrats can vote as they please

Loss OF LIFE AND PROPERTY Y-On Tuesday
and Wednesday, the 3Oth ult., and lst inst,
the Northern part Of New York State was
visited by severe rain storm and disastrous
foods. The Essex County Republican says
the Aurable river rose higher than ever
known before, sweeping away several dams,
bridges, saw and grist mills, nail factories,
rolling mills, machine shops and dwellings.
Several lives were lost, but the number was
not ascertuined however, nine dead bodies
had been recovered up to the time of the
Republicans going to press. The amount OF
the loss of property had not been ascertained,
but must be very large.

two in Shamokn, are yet fresh in the recol-

who have not yet received one penny of their

RAILROAD SAFETy.-The engineers on the
Erie Railroad resist rule adopted by the
Company making them responsible for run
ming OF at any switch where their trains stop,
They say this is making them responsible for
the neglect of the switch tender The COM
pany, however, say it is only an additional
iule OF safety. The engineers were instructed
that swtchmen were placed at stopping
stations Tor their convenience ouly, and were
not to be relied upon for the safety Of the
train, and that engineers would be expected
in all cases, 10 see that the switches were
right before they passed over them, and We're
also especially enjoined to take all the time
necessary to run safe in other words to
"r,.n safe FIRST, and FAST aJterWa,dS;' that
they should always run into stopping places
nnier the assumption that every switch was
ont of place and a train standing on the main
track. As the company are right. and the
rule is for the safety of travel, the public
will sustain the company, except those un'
reasonable aud uureasoning individuals who,
every time they travel, denoance railroad
companies for not running fast enough, ana
when an accident occurs in consequence, want
the officers hung for not having rules which
will make accideuts impoaa.ble. -ihifada'

This is one of the institutions which
Luther Zwugli, Calvin aud all the great
Reformers fought against in the great contest
of the Reformation. An Institution which
the liberal men in Europe are now contending
against, and which even some of the liberal
monarchs are endeavoring to break down in
spite Of the threats Of the Pope. Yet we
find Mr. Zimmerman voting to establish such
institutions in. this free country. For the
truth of this we refer to the Journal Of last
session, page 242-3, copy OF which can now
be seen at the Prothontary's Office.
Remember also that when a resolution hav-
ing for its object the protection of American
citizens travelling in foreign countries, in the
enjoyment Of their rights and conscience, of
selecting their own public worship and the
right to bury their dead with such religious
services as'they may desire, was offered in
the last Legislature, Mr.. Zimmerman not on
ly voted against it, but actually sought to
crush out the efreedom of speech and debate
by voting against even taking up the resolu.
