THE OPPOSITION.

"Every day and hour the contest between the
Democracy and Black Republicans is becoming mors
and more sectional, and Democracy is the loser e
The above strange development is made by our
sprightly exchange, the Washington, n c. Dispatch
(said to be neutra)- at loss to find oat
where it has found this intelligence. The Democra-
cy getting sectional? Wonders then have not ceas-
ed, and we just entering upon new era in po-
ltics. For part can not understand when,
where or how, the Democracy have become 8 sec
tional' and not any sectional" but more section
al" Neither have we been able to learn that the
Democracy have lost so much 1t is true that Penn
sylvania, and Indiana have gone this time Tor the
Republican party, but any unprejudiced man, VINO
is acquainted with the politics of these States knows
that il was not bccHsise tiseysr aban1on1d .en1us

Lecompton and i-Lecompton' We viii pledge
our reputation for veracity upon the result is sixty
in the State of Pennsylvania and that is the tri.
umph of the Democratic ticket over all and every
competitor.
The Dispatch argues that because of this loss on
the part of the Democrats the Opposition party
which it has pronounced in its columns conscr
vative party north should be encouraged, that they
may divide the northern VOTE and thus secure de-
mocratic triumph.
Strange sort of logic that We deny first that
the Opposition as party is conservative, nor can
1t be shown where they exist, except in New York
and New Jersey and Maryland. Unless our friend
calls the Black Republican party portion of the
Opposition
In Pennsylvania, they always vote with the Blacks
In Ohio it is the same, also in Mass, Connecticut
and all the New England States
We cannot see where the Opposition did any
thing in so to defeat the Black Republican party
except to throw away the vote of Maryland, which
is now good for Democratic President in go
They did not single electoral vote to the
democracy in SO and how they in go.
The fact is, the triumph of Black Republicanism
in any shape form is contributed to- by the Oppo-
sition in the South unwillingy it may be, but it is
nevertheless
When the North sees the South divided they are
encouraged and continue in their now, fanatical
course.
But cotcmporary has great liking to the Op
position. 1t pronounces them conservative Veil,
for part we have never seen their PLATFORM
cept one plank and that opposition to Democra-
cy, of indefinite conservatism it must be
But, have forgotten, it is conservative because,
in Missouri it advocates the abolition of slavery, and
in Georgia. it advocates Congressional slave code
and the re-opening of the African slave trade. All!

do you think, under the present state of things is
it possible for the Union to last =
To answer that question, we woulnd simply say that

say it, but despite love for the Union its inst-

We are not of those who in sentiment would put
off the evil day, when practically it is even at
doors. So violent is the feeling now in the North
that officers in high standing in their respective
States spend their and money for the circua-
ton of documents which advocate the forcibe and
complete determination Of slavery, at all hazards
How long this state of things will last can an

SNUFF DIrP1SG.-No better warning can be given
those who indulge in that vile, filthy practice of
snuffdipping than to publish the following:
ssMiss Tennessee Gibson died recently near Stran-
gers Home, Lawrence County, Ark. She was pas
sionately addicted to snuffdippng, much so that
she retired with her poison in her mouth and in the
morning was found corpse, with the snuff adher-
ing to her lips"
We never believed that lady would dip snuff
at all events it is not lady-like, and we would
commend to them the formation of an anti-snuff-
dipping club.

County Auditor.

Among the most important County Offices
TO be filled this fall is the office OF County
Auditor. The Democratic party have nom.
mated man for that station by the name of
GEORGE NJ HOWELL of Fishingcreek This
is an office of no little mportance-one that
the people of The county are deeply inter-
ested in. They should see that fit person
be elected 10 that office, for no "fourlh rate"
man is capable TO accurately perform the
duties pertaining 10 it. There are men 10
be had, belonging 10 the Democratic party
who possess ample qualification 10 perform
the. functions of this office with credit both
10 themselves and the party.
In the selection of candidate for this
very important Office TO he filled at the com.
ing election, we are proud 10 know that the
Democracy have done so well. They have
chosen GEoRGE M. HOWELL, man eminent.
ly fitted for that office; and by him the in.
;erests OF the county will be carefully looked
after. He is man of considerable exper-
ience as an accountant There are few
better men, y any, in The county, for this
Office than GEORGE M. HOWELL He is The
man ior this post. He possesses everything
requisite 10 perform the duties assiduously,
No person could be elected 10 this office
who would more fully understand the duties
of i, than this one in question. His qualifi.
cations are good He is able TO calculate with
any mana Republican not excepted-and
no man will control him, or will he be at tthe
service of any set of men. Nothing short
of the interests of the whole county will he
carefully watch or look after. He is the man
the public interests want in office. Next
Tuesday, we hope the Democracy will at
tend 10 this important matter by electing
GEORGE M. HOWELL.

The Democracy of the Interior.

We are in receipt of the most encourag-
ing accounts from all parts of the INTERIOR
The Democracy are everywhere active and

all the great issues before The country, with
bold firmness. OF Pennsylvania, it is spec
ally'true, that nothisk was ever gained by
the evasion of any question, or disposi-
tion 10 compromise upon national issues,

while denying that they have been weak.
ened by detection, manifest a confidence
and degree OF unity and self-reliance, that
is the surest guarantee of success. The
Democratic county meetings, in all paris
of the State, have been uniformly we'll at.
tended, and marked by the most unms,aka-
BILE evidences OF harmony and good feeling
while the nominations, almost without an
exception, have been such as to command
the most harmonious and Jealous support.
The Democracy of Clearfeld had very
enthusiastic county meeting, on Tuesday
last, the 9th ult., when able and eloquent
addresses were delivered by Hon. Wm Big.
ler, w. A. Wallace. Esq, R. L. Johnson,
Esq, of Ebensburg, and |. Test, Esq. The
Republican says the 4Proloundest attention
was paid to the remarks of the speakers,
interrupted only by the earnest and hearty
plaudits of the audience. The whole affair
was in every sense renewal of the good
old fashioned assemblies, which have so
often been the forerunners of glorious tri
umph of the gallant Democracy of Clear
field county. A series of admirable reso-
lutions, expressive of the sense of the De.
mocracy of the county, were passed, unani.
mously, re-aflirming the cardinal doctrines
of the National Democracy, for which the
party has so long and bravely battled
through sunshine and storm, and their un.
diminished confidence in the wisdom and
patiotism of JAMES BUCHANAN, and their
hearty appreciation of the public course of
Senator BIGLsR.

ONE OF THR HUMANITARIAN movements ol
the umes although little known as such,
can hardly be over estimated in lis import.
ance upon the well being of our widely
scattered communities. The population OF
the American States is in many sections 50
sparse, that skilful Physicians are hardly
available 10 them. Vast numbers of our
people are obliged TO employ in sickness,
such medical relief as they can hear of
from each other, or indeed any they can get
rom any quarter Hence arises the great
consumption of Patent Medicines among us;
greater by far than in any of the old coun.
tries, where skiliul physicians are accessi-
BILE 10 all classes. Unprinciped men have
long avalled themselves of this necessity
10 palm oil their worthless nosrums, until
the word has become SYNONYMOUS with i'm.
position aud cheat. Que of our leading
Chemists in the East, DA. AVER. is pursuing
course which defeats this iuiquily He
brings not only mis- own but the best skill oi
our times TO bear for the production of The
best remedies which can be made These
are supplied TO the world in a convenient
form, al low prices, and the people will no
more buy poor medicines instead of good,
at the same cost, than they will bran instead
OF flour. The inevitable consequence OF
this is that the vile compounds that food
our country are discarded for those which
honestly accomplish the end in view,-
which cure. Do we over estimate IFS i'm
porance, in believing that this prospect of
supplanting the by.word medicines, with
those of actual worth and virtue, is bought
with Immense consequence for good 10 the

Cakes and Observation-Disclosures.

The Democratic voters of this Represen-
tative District are asked 10 support the two
first gentlemen above named, at the coming
election, for Assembly. These men have
served the people in satisfactory manner
therefore why no: give them your undivided
support? They have proved themselves
honest, and made efficient members, ARE
just the men for the station we would ask
you 10 again elect them 10. We can rely
upon these men,-the interests ol our coun
ty will be, as il has been, perfectly safe in
their hands.
The Opposition would have you believe
different were it in their power 10 do so.-
You are told by the Opposition Press that
our members last winter were ''caught nap.
ping" when the interests of our District
were in danger. This is, of course, mere
assertion, and it will not do. They fail to
point out any neg lect of duty by these men.
| They cannot Go it. These men attended 20
the interests of their constituents well, and
the people know 1t. They were sent 10
Harrisburg for that purpose mot to make
| business and create disturbances, but 10
amicably adjust and perform whatever bus.
| iness their constituents had of beneficial!
nature for them 10 do.
We are also told that JUDGE OAKEs "has
always been poitician," and OH the other
hand, that james Masters, the Republicans
pet candidate, has not This, if anything,
should have tendency 10 defeat Mr.. Mas.
ters and elect the Judge. What does the
people want with a man at Harrisburg who
has never been politician and knows moth
ing about politics Would it be expected Of
him 10 cope successfully with other members
in the Legislative Halls at Harrisburg ?they
being all politicians. Not at all, He should
learn the trade first. 1t would be just like
putting boy along with lot of men and
expect from him mans days work. This
he would not be able 10 perform and view
ing this matter in the light that il should be,
james Masters is moi the man for the place
he is named by The Opposition. Blu, OH The
other hand, SAMUEL CAKES and GEORGE D.
JACKSON are just the men. They have been
fully tested, aud found mol deficient; there
fore why not give them your votes!
If we mistake not, and indications are
strongly in our favor, OAKEs and JACKSON
will wake up on the morning of the 18th of
October, with much larger majorities than
they received last fall No man can hesitate
a moment in making up his mind as to
which of these men he will support OAKEs
and JACKSON or Masters and MouSer. The
former you are familiar with, and know
their qualifications 10 be ample; while the
latter, you only know that they are taken up
by the Opposition party-you know nothing
about their fitness or honesty for this station
There is ouly one choice 10 make here, and
thai is 70 support OAKEs and JACKSON. These
are the facts in the case, aud they cannot
be honorably repelled. Ponder these facts
well, voters, and act accordingly.
