PATRIOTISM ABOVE PARTY.-The
people of Judge Woodward's Judicial
District, in consequence of his resignation,
have almost unanimously petitioned Gov
Curtin to appoint William Elwell, Esq,
of Towanda, to fill his place-the bar es.
pecially desiring it. Governor Curtin,
however, refused, and said ha would ap-
point no democrat, Notwithstanding the
District is Democratic, and notwithstand-
ing politics were not considered in the Sc
lection of Mr.. Elwell. The North Branch
Democrat says: ave consider this pref
ty exposition of republican, no.party integ-
rity. Before the election, democrats who
adhered to their party as matter of
principle, were denounced in very bitter
terms as secessionists, and very great pa
rade was made by the no-party gentry Of
q patriotic determination to place "Coun-
try above Party" while, in truth, all their
party machinery was in full blast and il
uncommonly active operation. Since th'
election, this miserable cheat having servcC
its purpose, we hear no more of no-party'
ism; and the no-party men are sleeping

BS- The appointment of Gen. McClel-
Ian to the command of the armies of the
United States, brings up the names of
some who have distinguished themselves in
early life:
Don John, of Austria, won, at 25, the
greatest battle of modern times had it
not been for the jealousy Of Philip, the
next year he would have been Emperor of
Castor dc Folk was only %
when he stood victor on the plains of
Ravenna. Every one remembers Conde
and Rocroy at the same age. Gustavus
Adolphus died at 3s. Look at his Cap
tains that wonderful Duke of Weimar,
only 36 when he died. Banicr himself,
after all his miracles, died at 45. Cortcz
was little more than 80 when he gazed
upon the golden cupola Of Mexico. When
Mauriccr of Saxony, died, at 32, all
Europe acknowledged the loss of one of
the greatest captains and profoundcst
statesmen OF the age. Then there are
Nelson and Give and Napoleon But
these are warriors, and perhaps you may
think there are greater things than war.
do; I worship the Lord of Hosts But
take the most illustrious achievements of
civil prudence. Innocent Ill, the greatest
of Popes, was the despot of Christendom
at 81 John de Medcci was q Cardinal
at IS, and, Gaicciardina tells US, bafied
with his craft Frederick, of Arragon,
himself. He was Pope, as Leo y, at 81.
Luther robbed even him of his richest
province at 80. Take Ignatius Loyola
and John Wesley; they worked with
young brains-Ignatius only 30 when he
made his pilgrimage, and wrote the "Splri-
tual Exercises Pascal wrote a great
work at 16, the greatest of Frenchmcn,
and died at 81 which reminds me of
Byron, greater even as man than
writer. Raphael painted the palaces OF
Rome, and died, too, at~37 Richelieu
was Secretary of State, at the age of 81,
Well, then, there were Bolingbroke and
Pitt, both ministers before other men leave
off the cricket. Grotius was in great
practice at IT; an Attorncy-General al
"a. And Acquiviva-Acquiviya wal
General of the Jcsuits-ruled every Cabi
net in Europe, and colonized America
before he was 81. But it is needless tc

The next Legislature.

We find the subjoined publication on tho
above subject, in the last issue of the
"No,th Branch Democrat.'
The Legislature of this State will as
semble at Harrisburg, on the first Tues
day, (7th) of January. 1t will, no doubt,
be an important and interesting session.
The Senate is largely opposition to De-
mocracy. The House is Democratic
No Legislature, since the formation of the
present Constitution, has embodied so much
talent. The opposition, or what was the
late Republican party, have many mem.
bers of distinguished, but misdirected tai
ents. A large portion of the Democratic
members elect, are men Of exalted talents.
All are men of the strictest integrity.
Among the able public speakers on the
Democratic side, we will mention, as those
we can speak of from personal acquain.

of Blair John Scott, of Huntingdon c.
L. Pershing, of Cambria; Col. i. L, Tate
and George S. Tuition, of the Columbia
district; and D. r. Neiman, of Easton.
We are much pleased at the election of
our editorial friends, Tate, Of the Colum-
bia county Democrat, and Neiman, of the
Easton Sentinel They are able out.spo-
ken Democrats. They commented some
what severely, but not uujustly, on several
! occasions, on the treatment of the three
months volunteers, and certain dsreputa-
bic swindling operations ofleading Repub-
licans, who, in revenge, iustigated the de.
struction of brother Neimans Office by a
repu blican mob ; the people, however,
expressed their appreciation of his fearless
course, by electing him to the Legislature.
Our friend Tate, was equally bold and
outspoken, in relation to the imbccility and
dishonesty of our public servants, and al
though menaced with hanging and the de
structlon of his Office, he was more fortu
nate than brother Neiman, having notice
of the proposed visit of the abolition mob
he was prepared to give them a reception
that would have been distastcful to them.

The Latest War News.

The most important intelligence has
crowded upon us within the past few days
from every quarter. From England we
have, by the arrival of the Europa, partic
ulars of the action of the British Govern.
ment upon the arrest of Mason and Sill.
dell and if these first accounts are relia-
BILE, war with that government seems in
evitablc. From the South we have the
horrible recital of slave insure ction the
burning of half the city Of Charleston, and
the probable destruction Of many innocent
lives. The details of this intelligence will
be found in another column. The pros.
pect looks indeed gloomy for our beloved
land. AT present we hope, as has beer
intimated, that these accounts have beer
much exaggerated.
The N. Y Herald of Sunday, in com
menting upon the late fire at Charleston
says:
1t is worthy of remark that Institute
Hall, where the Democratic Convention
was held, which split the party, and split
the nation; the theatre, to which the Sc
cessionists retired to hold a separate con-
vention St. Andrew 5 Hall, where the
Mozart faction fgured the Charleston
Hotel, and the Mills House, where the
warning factions respectively held their
headonarters: IIiberninan Hall, wher
the secession ordinance was passed th'
cannon and ammunition foundries, the
treason shops of the M"rc~ry and Courier
and the headquarters of Governor Pick
ems, have been all laid in ashes. Docs il
not look like a retrlbution Of Providence

structon of the rebellion

s@- Capt. Geo. W. UT, late of one of
the Fishingcreek military companies has
volunteered for the war. He is one Of
those staunch democrats, who for that
cause has been more abused than most
other men. He was commander of one
of the "old scythe" companies of Captain
Staley, almost all Of whom have volun-

What The "Lousville Journal Says.

nay A careful reading of the proceed
irgs of Congress up to this time would
create the impression that this was spe.
cial session, called for the purpose of con-
sidering matters crcinsively appertainipg
to the "colored folks"
The interest of the white man appears
to have sunk into insignifcance. Every
Abolitonist is loaded to the muzzle with
negro resolutions. Henry Wilson wants
them all let out of jail. We shall soon
expect to see a proposition that no negro
shall be punished by imprisonment.-Co-
lumbuS Ohio Statesman.
If Congress was composed entirely of
negroes their legislation could not be more
for the race than it is now. No PROPOSE
ton is received with any favor, says the
Cincinnati Enquirer, unless it proposes to
do something for the black. A foreign
stranger would suppose, from the deliber-
ations of Congress, that the whites had no
question of their own for delibe ration or
discussion. The members had hardly ta-
ken their seats before dozen of them
sprung up and pulled out batch of reso.
lutions relating to some negro grievance or
disability, or directly proposing negro
emancipation. The more violent the prop.
sition for the negro-the more extravagant
and absurd-tho greater favor of its recep-
ton. Congress seems actually to have
beceme stark mad, and the performances
which have been enacted there in the shape
of resolutions and propositions have excl
ted the astonishment and indignation Of
the country. The members-the practical,
useful members-who wish to do some
thing for the country, can not get word
in its behalf Unless there is some i'm
provement or reform soon the Congress
will be voted political nuisance of the
worst character-an intolerable affliction
upon the patriotism and good sense OF the
country.
After all, the negroes are but five mil
lions to the whites twenty-five millions,
and we insist that the former shall not mo.
nopolize the whole attention of the Nation
al Legislature. If Congress would try
half as hard to restore the Union as it
does to free the negro, it would undoubt
edly accomplish the task.
