Must meet Bumhastes face To farr ~

Ca The Northumberland County Democrat
OF last week, has the following astounding
challenge -
SEcEssIoNIsTs.-Johh Youngman, in his
last issue, was very profuse in epithets
against this paper aud the Democracy of this
county, calling oil hands Secessionists. Now.
all that is necessary for Mr.. Youugmau to do
is to pick out any one of the two thousand
three hundred voters that took part in our
primary election, and tell him to his face that
he is Secessionist, and he will then have
a chance TO establish the slander and villain.
Gus faisehood that be charges upon them ALL,
Mr.. Youngman never said such a silly
thing, or 10 one else. There are not more
than one hundred genuine Breckinridge
dough'faced, semi. .Secessionists, in the county.
A fe" OF these are in Sunbury and vicinity,
and the remainder of the nest is in the
upper end. And yet they managed to BAN.
boozle the Douglas Democrats, and get
majority of their own men on what they call
the Democratic ticket.

Il THE UNION TTcKET.-We are glad to
hear that the Douglas Democrats in the
upper end of the county are strong for the
Union ticket. Messrs. Nicely, Bright aud
Dr. Masser, oG this ticket, are all strong
Douglas men, and for this very reason will be
opposed by the White Feather Breckenridge
papers of this place, who stand ready to cut
the throat of every Douglas man who does
not join their clique. AS the great body Of
our Democrats are Douglas men, these dough
faces will be whipped out of their boots.

passenger cars were precipitated into the

ca On WHAT SIDE WOULD GEN. J.cKsoy
BE ?-lf any good Democrat has any doubt
what ticket he should vote, let him ask him.
sell, what side Gen. jackson would tuke if
be was living. Does any one suppose he
would support the Breckinridge faction p
In 1883, when Gen. Jackson was President,
John G. Calhoun, of this same Southern
party, now headed by John G. Breckiuridge,
commenced this same secession movement at
Charleston. Gen. Jackson did not wait. like
Mr.. Buchanan, but filed the Forts at
Charleston with soldiers-issued his procIa.
maton-and swore by the "eternal" if they
went one step further, he would hang Calhoun
and all bis followers "as high as Haman.r
They knew the iron will of the old hero, and
The traitors Knocked under. Now, does any
one suppose that Gen. Jackson would support
ticket got up by a faction, whose leader,
John q. Breckenridge, Is one of the disciples
OF John Q. Calhoun, and who was the cause
OF the defeat OF the lamented Douglas, the
friend and defender of jackson? With n
knowledge Of these facts no jackson Demo
crat can hesitate to vote the "Union" ticket.
the only ticket a true Democrat can copsis.
tently vote. The memorable words by Gen.
Jackson, "The Union must and shall be
preserved" is now the motto OF the Union
party.

IS THERE A DrMUCnArIC TIcIxE,


IS THERE A DENlOCRATIC TICKET?
The bogus Democratic paper of this place,
knowing that true Douglas Democrats of this
county would not support the ticket got up
by the Breckenridge faction, which .bey
falsely call the Democratic ticket, and on
which they placed all Breckenridge men, and
these oil on tho other side of the river, think
they can prevent true Democrats from voting
the Union ticket, by calling i. q Republican
ticket. Now these editors must either be
fools themselves or believe that their readers
are fools, if they suppose they can make them
believe such stuff. 1t is well known that one
half of the members of the Convention were
Democrats and the other half Republicans.
The bust Offices were given to the Democrats
aud one.hslf Of the candidates nominated
are Democrats. How, then, can this be
called a Republican ticket? Mr.. Purdy, who
is comparative stranger in this county, and
Mr.. Bachman, who was, himself, q rampant
Republican only few years age. must have
poor opinion Of the Democracy of this
county, if they suppose they can be made to
swallow such nonsense and falsehood. The
ticket 10 no party ticket, and in this respect
truly Democratic, because no true Democrat
will disturb the country by party issues in
such crisis The only party ticket that
will be run in the State this fall, is the ticket
OF the Brecknridge party, small faction of
oihce hunters, who get up party issues TO put
hn lran ia,
with their own men on it. and then rely UPON
being elected by calling it q Democratic
ticket
