The Election-Next Tuesday.

The General Election takes place
throughout the State on Tuesday next, the
4th inst. The circumstances by which
we are surrounded make it the rrost i'm
portant election ever held in Pennsyva-
mia, as upon the result, in great measure
depends Eve verify beleve) the veal or
woe Of the Republic for all time to GENE.
Should the AbolitioAists succeed, the war
will be interminable and the Nation de-
stroyed for ever; but, should the Demo-
Gratis trump, as We confidently believe
they will, the war will be prosecuted to
an early termination on Constitutional
principles, and the Union be restored in all
its former greatness and glory-the more
Powerful by reason of the frey trial through
which it has passed.
1t is for you, fellow citizens of Columbia
county, to say, on Tuesday next, whether
or not you will aid the conservative mass

Attend to the Election.

There are as yet no Government proc.
lamations directed against the exercise Of
the elective franchise-for which the Dem
ocrats ought to be thankful That right,
we believe, can still be enjoyed without
fear of bonds, Imprisonment or death. No
Provost Marshal has yet attempted to in-
terfere with US for saying we prefer one
candidate to another, or one party to an.
other, and expressing our preference
through the ballot.box. Let US rejoice
and be exceeding glad that we are thus
highly favored in these times when the laws
are trampled under foot and the Con,titu-
ton considered dead letter.
Fellow Democrats, we admonish you to
be active, vigilant and firm in the discharge
of your duties. If ever your bleeding and
distracted country needed your services, it
is now, from this time until the election
closes on next Tuesday evening. If ever
you had work to perform, upon the sue
cess of which hangs the safety of the Re-
public, it is now--noD, when radical Alb.
olitionism, in every branch of the Govern
ment, threatens the overthrow of the Con-
stitution, the disruption of the Union, q
vast accumulation of public debt, the ruin
Of the country, and radical change in
the social and political condition by elova
ting the negro to the equality of the white
race. Ring it out, loud and clear, in ev-
cry district, that this is not only a contest
for the preservation of indisputablc, con-
stitutional, civil an d political rights, but a
death struggle to maintain the social and
political supremacy of the white race over
the black of the white man over the ne =
gro.
Rally, then, Democrats, to the support
Of the Democratic ticket, and let your
watchword at eve ry election poll be "Dowu
with the Abolitionists Democracy and
the supremacy of the White Man Forever" )"

A Model Colonel.

The National Republican of September
23d, says:
"The Col. Ford who surrendered Mary.
land Heights, is said to be the same dem
agogue who was selected printer of the
last House, principally by the exertions of
some members with whom he agreed to
divide the profits, and nearly the whole
of whom he cheated at last, in which he
served them about right"
This is the same Col. Ford who broke
up the Fillmore Convention in 1856, on
accout Of his love for the negro His sur.
render of the Heights probably rendered
the surrender of Miles an unavoidable
necessity. 1t is for the proper authorities
to determine whether that pernicous sur
render was not attributable to the coward.
ice of this blatant Ohio Abolitionist, rather
than to any fault of Colonel (or General)
Miles.
So says the Evening Journal, to which
we add -
And the same Col. Ford, who in 1856,
appeared before an audience in Blooms
burg, drunk, with his coat and boots off ;
his shirt sleeves unbuttoned, and hair
matted and uncombed, and disgusted every
decent man, and insulted every woman,
by his political slang: avowing himself a
"BIaeh Republican," we quote the word
from him, and claiming the party opposed
to the Democracy to be the Black Repub,
lican Party" A drunkard and scoun.
drel, placed by the Administration in
command of an important post which he
surrenders; proving himself thereby a
coward or traitor, or both.

Men of the Peoples Party
READ THIS.

We clip from the Montow american Of
Of the 9th of April last, paper now sup.
porting Rev. Geo. Landon for Congress,
the following complimentary notice Of Hon.
II. w. TRACY the Peoples candidate for
Congress in this District, viz;
"READ IT.--We publish to.day the
Speech of Hon. Ii. W. Tracy, delivered
in the House of Representatives, on the
bill repeating an Act for the Communication
of Tonnage Duties. Mr.. Tracy deserves
the thanks of the taxpayers of the entire
Commonwealth, for his able effort in their
behalf; both in the last and the present
session. He has faithfully resisted tho
stupendeous frauds, by which millions
have been voted out Of the Treasury. Let
the taxpayers see to it, that they are here
after represented by men who are true and
faithful to their interests"
"Let it be remembered by every honest
voter in the District that this man Landon
whom the Montov .American is now sup.
porting in opposition to Mr.. Tracy, voted
for the bill for the Communication of Ton.
Dago Duties" Who will vote for such a
man! And also will place any reliance
upon the Montow american after this
Since writing the above, Landon ha,
been withdrawn by the abolition managers,
and RoBERT F. CLARK has been put on
in his place, and is supported by his
friends. The charge against the Moatour
American, however, holds good; for it
supported Landon SO long as he was in the
field and it and every man who votes
for CLARK, votes to support and sustain
the same State robberies and scoundrels
who first placed Landon before the people.
In these days of unheard of corruption,
does nos the record of HENRY w. TRACY
speak volumes in his favorl He has been
tried-been proved honest-been proved
capable. Jefferson asked no more. "Let
the Taxpayers see to it that they" send to
Congress HENRY w. TRACY, a man
who is ",rue and faithful to their in
terests.'
