PoLITIcs IN ouR PAPEn.-Heretofore, we have
said very little in regard TO the politics of the
country. This we thought proper to do, be-
cause we did not want to have our columns
numbered up with matter that would be OBJ
jectionable to many of our readers. But not
withstanding this, our house is built upon a
rock as durable as time. We neither change
our views or run after new-fangled notions.
We started on the Democratic track over twenty
years ago, and have been constant worker
and voter in the cause ever since. Big fish
and little fish, have turned summersaults and
pointed to every quarter, yet we fancy that our
course has been consistent one-never deyia-
ting from the true path, If we ever erred, it
was in supporting nominations thatwere foisted
upon the party contrary TO our Judgment and
wishes While great ae'i were being caught by
temperance or tariff bats, our crying sin was
to support the ticket, and TO contribute our
weight towards its election While men, who
call themselves leaders in the Democratic party,
were betting their money against Elihu Jeffer-
son--the Democratic candidate for Sheriff
and farming it out in twenty five dollar shares,
among weak minded men Of the party, we were
trudging about through the county, with a
copy of the proceedings Of the Legislature un-
der our arm, contradicting the lies they were
circulating TO defeat his election. From that
day to this, we have been toling in various
ways to elevate the party, and give it a pure
and uncontaminated character. We would
have the Democracy OF Delaware elevated above
the mean influences that control it, at present
attained. We shall turn neither to the right
nor the LETT, but continue the even tenor Of our
way-giving counseland adding strength to the
organization, until we find the people the only
leaders, and the party triumphant.

Wren IN BERGEN CouNTY.-A sort OF
Gypsey fortune teller has recently been resi-
ding ina house on Cherry Lane, Bergen county,
on the premises of Edward O'Neill. A week or
so since this deceptive creature went through
Godwinvlle and stopped at IL Mrs. B-ys,
wife of Peter b., n worthy citizen Of that place.
Mrs Il. has been in bad state of health for
some time and the Gipsey offered to tell her
fortune and inform her what would completely
cure her. Mrs. b. was finally prevailed upon
to submit her hand to the inspection of the
strange woman, who narrowly scanned every
mark and wrinkle, and told Mrs. b. she saw
gold in the house which must be touched ere
she could proceed. Mrs i. admitted that there
was $50 gold piece in her possession that
the Gipsey advised her to produce which being
done, the fortune teller took it, kept it in her
hand whilst Mrs. b. turned around. Finally,
the Gipsey said she must keep it until she had
made the necessary calculations, and for that
purpose, carried off the gold and did not return
it. Mr.. b. becoming acquainted with the cir
cumstanccs, repaired to the Justice at Pnrnmus,
whereupon that official, upon hearing the charge
ordered Constable Snyder, from Snydertown.
to arrest the swindling feminine. Mr.. Snyder
was little dubious and apprehensive of the
woman's powers, and some of the neighbnrs
insinuated that she might bewitch them all,
noleus roieas, both man and beast. However,
after deal OF consultation, il was determined
that Mr.. Snyder should procure the assistance
of neighbor and make the assault upon the
house of the WITCH Accordingly with fear and
trembling the officer and his deputy entered the
spook-like residence of the old crone, and made
her restore her ill-gottcn gain, which was duly
forwarded to the delighted Mrs. B. The fortune
teller was ordered TO leave these parts, and ac-
cordingly departed from the county with a
promise TO leave the State and do no such
naughty things in future.-Fatersoa Guardian
