Democracy ever since.
Mr. Livingsto IS entirely free from the
slightest taint of Democracy-a poriec ct
gentleman, good citizen and clever fellow
but no match for Ed. Perks.
Messrs. Sebring and Adams are like
wise perfectly free from Democratic con,
tamination.
Mr. Lytlc, we presume, is expected to
break into the Democratic pasture, and
play terrible havoc, masmuch as, if we are
correctly informed, he is among the very
last deserters from the Democratic party.

tried, and as otter failed ana we are
much mistaken if the failure is not made
more palpable in next October than ever
before. The Democracy can have 10

Mr. Spockman Is a respectable citizen
and farmer of Girard lp., and is entirely
free from suspicion of Democratic sym.

OF Mr.. Mock we know nothing further
than that he is represented as ~ good
clever fellow and Republican to tho back.

of the Democratic State Committee IN 1856
of Which John w. For ley was then Chair

letter, yet who would have supposed that
any man carrying an American heart in
his bosom, would turn in and assist TO bring
about what Mr.. Forney seemed SO much
to deprecate and abhor in lS56-.a dissolu-
tior of the Union?
The impOr tial historian of the decline
and Fall" of the American Republic who,
ever he may be, must give Mr. Forney a
large share OF the credit, for no other man,
save, perhaps Horace Greely has contrib.

in. lie has been, for the last four years,
in close communion with tie Abolition
leaders, who have been engaged in plotting
treason, and heaping slander upon the
heads Of our safest and best Statesmen.

the Legislative Convention at ST. Marys
last week, which will appear in our next.
