himself that object to the displacement of
BUELL. and MCCLELLAN because they are Demo

latter, dissatisfied seeks to iuhame and prejudice

failure, is de6ed by the Journal aud the Repub-

the noble words of McCLELLAx:

war upon different principles. neither would have
been displaced.

whose knavcry and rickery our Treasury

The election i over. and ii has not rc-
suited altogether a. we hal anticipated
and hoped: vet while Sutfcrin. the morti-
fication of partial defeat. there j. one thing
connected with the canvass. which indi-
Gates hCalthful change of public syn;i-
ment, and Is an omen of future victory.
II Is this: Many prominent men who have
for wears acted with the Democratic
Party and have been tied down by It's rules
and discipline, with an independence and
manlincss highly cOmmendablc, voted and
worked rs they cOnscicntiously believed TO
be right, without regard to party. We
have no fears for our country when such
noble men as Col. Jesse r. Crawford, of
Gaysport, Major I'heophilus SNYDER, of
AIarIinsburg, Col. Patterson, of Williams
burg. and numerous others break through
the barriers of party and vote and work
for principle. These men, with an homes
ty and traIicsSness which merits the ap-
probation of every patriot, and puts to
shame their old party associates. came
out from the old Democratic organiza-
ton, and worked heartily for the success
OF enc of the most prominent candidates
OH our ticket. They were welcomed into
our ranks with open arms. aS thcv dc
served 10 be We are sorry their efforts
were unavaiiin", and that it Is now in the
nature OF things impossible for them to
reap those substantial rewards which are
always conferred by successful canGi-
date upon his friends. Let us say TO them
as 4 friend, that they will still have that
best OF all rcwardS-an o1goroyay con
Scic7tcc, Il reward Of which no defeat can
deprive them, and one which will cheer
and sustain them through life, and tighten
the gloom OF thcgrayr. Wei, done, noble
men ,-Bbt1' Comfy IIMy.
This intelligence comes to our cars in a
startling manner, when we rccollcct that
those men have been identified with the
Democratic party, participating in every
prominent move thereof, AMI reapine a
sustenance from its power; and when we
rccolIcct too, that one of these men. The
cphiius Snyder, was very prominent
, candidate for States Senate before the late
conference Of this district We are sorry
TO loose three such prominent. efficient
and working politicians rs Jesse II. Craw-
ford, Iheophilus Snyder and Col Pattcr-
son from our ranks, and because, in the
hour of trial, they proved f;ritlless to the
cause of Democracy and recreant to the
party which had 'iwarmed them into
| life" but we will cease TO mourn after
these distinguished auxillarics, and will
JOIN in litany with the Wing in praying
for these unfortunate men, that they NAV
receive the reward already implorcd for
them, that of . an arproriag conscience. -
