we are sorry-oh very sorry-to sce was
not even mentioned in connection with
'he Office. This is certainly tleatin" that
great luminary OF Democracy badly His
revenge for the slight should consist in
turning his back upon his coafyeres, and
becoming good Uniou man forthwith
He is reasonably old now--is JIMMY
and the grave ought not TO be allowed to
close upon the great load of crime, that,
politically speaking, weighs down upon his
decrepit shoulders. 1t might be bad for
him hereafter.

I've parties. The enc vote given WM. D. !
KELLEY vas cast by Mr. LAPoRTE, of
Bradford county. We hope to be pardoncd
for suggesting a straight. jacket in behalf |
OF this latter gentleman, but we know no
one in our list of political acquaintanccs
who deserves such an article more fully.
OF course our readers will like to know
something concerning this Charles r.
BUcKALEw, Who is to represent them IN
the United States Senate during the next
half dozen years, providing he don't die
OF resign in the meantime-somethino as
TO his political character and antecedents.
Well: Mr.. B. is now about forty-Gye
Years old, and, therefore, is. Or at least
should be, in the full vigor of manhood. ;
For six years he represented Columbia
county in the State Senate, where he
achieved fne reputation as a sagacious
and welLinformed politician and gentle {
man, During the WILMor- PACKER Gu I
bernatosial campaign, he acted as Chair !
man OF the Democratic State Central :
Committee, managing the affairs and .
looking to the interests of his favorite G
candidate with considerable ability Tie t
also served his country as Minister to .
Ecuador, under the administration of Mr. !
BUCHANAN. Since the latter period, he f.
has taken but little part in politics b
Saying which, we are sorry to be obliged II
to add that it is boldly charged upon Mr. a a
BUCkALEw that he entertains extreme h
Democratic-or perhaps we had better say o,
Loco Foco- sentiments. He is quoted as '
an opponent Of the Administration, IF the y
War for the Union, and, in fact, OF evcrv -.
