Triumph OF Victories.

Hon WARREN j. WOODWARD, our ex-
cellent President Judge, has been elected
President Judge of the Berks Judicial Dis
trict, By majority of over 1000. This
is the most substantial compliment on rec
ord bestowed upon stranger by the loyal
Democracy Of old Berks. We only reite-
rate the universal opinion of the people of
Columbia county, when we here announce,
that it is with deep regret, we are thus
called upon to part with our estimable fell
low citizen, who after long residence
among us, leaves with general regret and
leaves not an enemy behind.

The Democratic Union Platform!

The Democratic Convention of Columbia
county, which met in B.oomsburg the 26th
of August last, adopted series of resolu-
tious as the platform Of the Democracy in
the present struggle. Every line and syl.
able of the resolutions found hearty
response in the hearts of the people. In
brief, they spake the following patriotic
language:
lst. Stand by the old organization of
the Democratic party, which hs ever been
for the country, and the aOhole country
night or wrong!
I'd. tho doctrine of secession is Ga polit.
ical heresy,"
Sd. Tile Democratic party is firmly
pleged to the support of The Government.
4th. The democratic purity is IN favor
Of a vigorous prosecution Of Me War, as
the only means Of securing an homo, able
peace.
9Th. Opposition to every infraction Of
the Constitution of the United States, and
to every invasion of the rights of the cili-
zen under that sacred instrument. sos- The
freedom Of speech ami the freedom ef the
press must nfver be surrendered!
9Th. The happiness and prosperity of
the people, and the salvation of the coun-
try, depend upon the faithful observance of
the Constitution, which the experience Of
more than half century has demonstra-
ted is adequate for all the emergencies of
the Government.
9th. Retrenchment and Reform--reduc-
tion observation-disclosures of State, Borough
and County taxes, so far as is compatible
with the public interest.
9Th. Our gallant soldiers must be pro.
tected from the designs of heartless spec.
ulators, by which unwholesome food and
unsuitable clothing were furnished those
who are bravely battling for the Union.
9th Thanks, thousand thanks, to our
devoted soldiers for the noble manner in
which they have rallied to the defence
Of the Stars and Stribes--the emblems of
our National Union!
10th. The acceptance of the nominations,
by those placed upon the ticket, is a sole mn
pledge that they are unconditional Union
mon, under GH circumstances and al all
hasaras and that their sentiments are the
same as those Of the immortal Jackson
when he said, "THE FEDERAL UNION, II
MUST g. SHALL BE PRESERVEDr' -

The Army Vote.

We call attention to two articles in ano-
ther part of our paper, copied from The
Euening JoHrnoI, (republican) showing
how the republicans proposed to disfran-
ehise the soldiers, by throwing out their
votes, now that majority of them have
voted, as We said they would, for the demo.
cratic ticket. These men care nothing
for the soldiers or their rights, save as
instruments to effect party purposes, and
when they fail in that, they denounce as
dishonest the very men engaged in fighting
our battles. All their manipulations have
signally failed, and tits now manifest what
was their object in pretending love to the
volunteers,
Read the articles and keep your eye on
the further developments.

now that times are looking up, it is en-

that may in large degree be attributed

The Vote of Old Columbia.

Whilst every section Of Columbia county
did its full duty, at the late election, in
support Of the Democratic Ticket, it would
seem almost inviduous to draw comparisons
and yet We cannot refrain from advertiug
to the noble Democracy of the township of
Montour. Last fall this township gave
some fourteen majority against the Demo :
cratic State Ticket. And last spring it
again gave some twenty.eight votes against
the Democracy. And now, to wit ;--Oo-
tober 8, 1861, it has gloriously redeemed
itself and gave a majority of FIVE VorEs,
for the Democratic Representative Nomi-
nees.

The Result in Clinton County.

The Democratic ticket is beaten in this
county by an average majority Of about
$50. Last fall Gov. CURTIN had At ma
jority--the LINCOLN electoral ticket had
4s2 over the Democratic electoral ticket,
and 400 over all others. On the whole,
therefore, the Republican loss is severe,
which speaks largely for the influence Of
the blind heifers from our party who went
over to them for the purpose of screening
them from popular condemnation. Of
one thing VIC are proud to boast in com
mon with the Democracy of the county,
viz that
In less than a aear. after the ovcrWhelm
ing success and oavent TO po,0cr of the Re-
pubt,cans The Democracy compelled them
to attempt TO hide their principles under
Democratic names and TO abandon the very
designation by aehich their putty ,Oas
known.
Of another thing we boast, viz : that the
Democracy resorted to no unfair means, no
humbug of any character, no trick, no
falsehood, and especially not to bribery, to
carry their ticket but on the contrary
boldly avowed their principles, which tn y
will never yield, and de6antly challenged
their opponents to the issue.
The means resorted to by the Opposi
ton leaders to defeat our ticket we will at
present simply characterize as extraordi'
nary The incident and false charges Of
"secessionists," Southern (rebeD sympa.
thizers," &C., were made against al
our candidates, and active men, and the
organ of the Opposition teemed with per-
sonal libels against all of us, lin such form
as to avoid responsibility the utterance o.
which would shame the most abandoned
blackguard in ordinary times. That mos,
powerful lever-money-was used with q
degree Of freedom we have never before
witnessed, and the different Railroad pow
ers were brought to bear with all the force
and tyranny they were capable of. Tha
the great body of the Democracy stood
firm under this torrent of misrepresenta
ton and corruption is subject of the
proudest congratulation.-CHnaon Dem

How very foolish our friends in Colum-
bia county would have felt now, if they
had permitted themselves to be quelled by
the tricks of the Opposition into an aban-
donmeDt Of their party organization. Now,
when they see republicans unfeignedly
rejoicing over the success of their party
tickets in various localities, and find q
change of nearly 10000 votes in favor of
the democracy, in the State of Pennsylva-
MIA. To find that they had faltered when
others stood firm, to find that they had
been deluded while their brethren had
pierced the thin disguise of the enemy,
would have been mortifying in the extreme,
and would have justified, in some measure,
the sneers and charges of the RepuJFtea"
as to " the ignorance and stupidity of the
people in the back townships" But they
have nobly stood by their country, and we
shall crafty them by showing them that
they are sustained by the people OF the
State.
