and very different sort of democracy takes
its place. Then this latter sort Of democracy
passes away, and democracy utterly unlike it
in everything becomes its successor. Then
this last democracy vanishes into thin air, and
another monster stalks upon the stage and
takes its name. And yet we are told that the

doubt wonderful invention. Apply the

unquestionably democracy will be permanent;

A Woman ON the GaIIows

EreeMtion Of Mary Tw,ggs for the Murder
of Her Husband and Mrs. CLARK Died as
serting her innocence.
DANyILLE, October 23.-The woman Mary
Twggs, convicted for participating in the MUIR
der OF her husband aud Mrs. Clark, was exc
cuted yesterday. The town was crowded with
people from the country, and the roofs of the
buildings adjacent to the prison were filled with
persons, anxious to witness the horrld specta-
Gle.
She bade farewell TO her brother and chill
dren, and after devotional exercise in her room,
was taken to the scaffold at quarter past ten
O'Clock, leaning on the arm OF one of her spirit
ual advisers. A chapter having been read, and
an impressive prayer offered up on the scaffold,
Mrs. Twiggs spoke for six or eight minutes,
protesting her innocence, declaring her readi-
ness to die and hei trust in just Judge, only
regretting to leave behind her two orphan chill
drcn. She was much affected throughout. -
The solemnity of the scene was made more i'm
pressive by her groans and sobs. Even after
the cap was drawn over her face she appealed
to God in the most earnest manner, and she as
serted her innocence. AT ten o'clock aud thir~
ty-five minutes the drop fell, aud after strug-
Cling for few moments, the wreteked woman
hung lifeless.

Horrible Tragedy in New York.
NEW York. OcT. OF.

NEW YORK, OCT. 81.
most horrible butchery was perpetrated
last night on West Thirteenth street. The
victims are the family of Francis Gouldy, lum-
Der merchant, consisting of himself, wife, two
sons, daughter, aud two servant girls. None
of them arc yet dead. Their murderer, or
would-be murderer, is the oldest son of Mr..
Gouldy. He returned home to his fathers
house last night at Ii O'Clock, iu state of de-
lirium. Having armed himself with an axe, he
first attacked his father, beating in his skull so
that he cannot live. The mother came to the
rescue of the father, and she was beaten and
badly wounded. The two young brothers, aged
respectively nine and thirteen, we're next at
tackled, aud the eldest cannot live. A mar
ried sister of the murderer, with babe in her
arms, was next attacked, but escaped without
serious injury. Two servant girls were the
victims of the maniac, and they were horribly
butchered. 1t is feared that neither can re-
cover. The assassin then locked himself in his
own chamber and blew out his brains with
pistol. The family is highly respectable, and
the father is an officer in the Thirteenth street
Methodist Church.

The last Gazette says Bedford County is q
ssdepenlency'' of Somerset, in regard to Leg
islaturc. Don't that paper know that Bedford
was just as much a dependency of Cambria, as
she is now of Somerset, under the old appor-
tionnent bill That district was so arranged,
aud this county was "disfranchiscd' by John
Cessna, who was then "ycur unfaithful and un-
scrupulous" representative. Under that ap-
portionment our candidates for Legislature,
when they had majority in this county, were
defeated bv Cambria, and it was no more than
right that in the next apportionment bill,
things should be reversed. "What's sauce for
the goose should be sauce for the gander," Mr.
Gazette. Mr.. Williams is Bedford County
man, aud will make much better representa-
tive than Gen. Burns, and if these insincere
Locofocos did not wish Somerset 10 oyerbal-
anee Bedford, why didn't they vote for Viii
lialns Bedford County was disfranchised for
seven years by Cambria County, and the Loco
toeos had the benefit, and the Gazette now
thinks it very unfair that tho other side should
have the benefit for the next seven years.

PROGRESSIVE DEMoCRACY.

4 democratic editor in Tennessee tells some
plain truths about his own party. He glories
in the fact that the democracy of to-day is not
that of Jefferson, Madison, jackson, or even
Van Buren. Here is his testimony:
mocracy in Jefferson's time, is not democracy
at the present day. What was democracy in
Gen. Jacksou's day is not democracy now
And, indeed. what was democracy ten years
ago, is not democracy to-day"
That's fact. One sort of democracy dies,

THE GERMAN VOTE.

We stated in q recent issue that large pro-
portion of the Germans of Pennsylvania yo-
ted, at the recent election, for the Opposition
ticket. This class of citizens are mostly work
ing men, and opposed to the introduction of
slavery into free territory, thereby bringing
them into direct competition with negro slave
labor, they are equally opposed TO policy
which paralyzes industry, and deprives them of
employment altogether, or compels them to
work for starvation prices. For these reasons
the great mass of intelligent Germans united
with the Peoples party at the late election in
repudiatiDg the slavery extension and Free
trade policy of the party now in power at
Washington. Of the Germans of Reading the
Journal, an American Republican paper, says
ssThe result Of the election is a very decided
rebukc to few men who undertook to rule the
German vote of Reading. These men suppo-
sed that they could dictate to this large class
of voters precisely how they should east their
votes. They have probably discovered that
the Germans can read and think for them
selves, and cannot be deceived by empty pre-
tences, or led by the dictation of office seek
ers."

To DAvID -Massachusetts--th Re-
publicans have elected their entire State and
Congressional ticket. New York-the Re-
publicans have carried their whole State ticket,
by about twenty thousand majority. The
Congressional delegation will most probably
stand "a Opposition, 7 democrats, and 2 anti
Lecompton. The Legislature is largely Oppo-
sition. Delaware-the democrats have elect
ted their Governor, Congressman, and major
ity of the Legislature, which ensures demo-
cratic U. s. Senator. New Jersey-The OPP
position have elected all their members Of Con-
gress, and have a majority of 5 on joint ballot
of the two Houses. The latter secures an op-
position United States Senator. Illinois--the
latest returns indicate the success of the Doug
las democrats in the Legislature, which secures
his recollection. In Michigan and Wisconsin
the Republicans have carried everything, in
cluding all the members of Congress.
