Mr.. Editor:-h appears that, through in
trigue, and by the Influence OF money The
democratic parry has been defeated in the
late election Tor State officers bni Culum-
bia county is sill o K And we have rea.
son TO rejoice over the election, Of our Reps
reseu,atives, as we'll as The whole County
Ticket. II is true We had no opposition 20
our County Ticket except for Prothonoiary.
And here permit me 10 digress little, in
order TO explain how this opposition was
gollen up.
Just on the eve OF The election it entered
into the brain OF certain quack Doctor, of
onr village, that the good people OF Colum
eia county, and especially of this neghbor-
hood, did not wish 10 be hnmbueed any
longer by him as a Doctor He conceived
The idea that he would Try once more to get
an office OF profit; but as he did not succeed
years ago in a State office, he thought he
would soop little, and try county office.
This idea was soon communicated TO
number OF his Abolition allies. They con
suited upon The matter, and agreed to call
Convention. Messengers were sent thro'
the whole village and vicinity. eyen in the
direction OF Mount Pleasant when 10, and
behold an assembly OF Tanners, Sadders,
Medical and Political Students, Loalers,
would be-gentlemen, renegade Democrats,
and it may be, Political Preachers and Pro.
fessors, all or Abolition procliviiies. met in
Convention, and began to counsel together
Alter i good deal of sharp contention ia
reference 10 The Doctors qualifications, for
the office OF Prothonotary, the Convention
resolved; that, inasmuch as the Doctor had
not brain enough 10 balance his co7poreal
dimen sions, he would not be an available
candidate.
Al Tins stage OF the proceedings some
considerable number, who have strong de-
slres for clerkships, entered the room and
were al once admitted 10 seats IN the con-
vel;ion
The above resolution made the Doctor
very wrothy, and he declared he would
secede, and the consequence would be inst
what il was when the South seeded from
the Charleston Convention, 10 wit, The A DO.
lition party would be broken up. Bnt fear
ing such a great catastrophe, some one,
(perhaps preacher OF peace aud good will
toward men) advanced the idea that the
nominee should be a War Democrat This
cooled of the Doctor little and he at once
begged leave 10 present the name OF Ne
EdtOard Bloom, OF Centre township, Tor
nomination, and in very learned argus
ment i'm pressed il upon the Convention
that Mr.. Bloom woud be just the man that
would suit the Abolition party, and he was
unanimously nominated. The Convention
gave three cheers Tor the nominee.
On motion the Convention adjourned -
Dispatches were sent IN all direcuous even
10 Mt. Pleasant and on The day ol election
great efforts were put forth, for the election
OF heir candidate but they were shame
fully defeated. Aud now, OF course. they
will be obliged TO call on Shoddy Andy Tor
clerkships, contracts, &c, or 90 TO West
POM; bot they shopld be careful that both
doors are open, so that they can run straight
through. and never slor mill they reach
Washington, where they might get an ap-
poIntment on some Generals staff {perhaps
with the rank OF Caplain) in order TO show
their patriotism Or seek 10 be Governor
OF some great powder concern, and drive a
pair oil matches alter load of some halt
dozen kegs OF powder, 10 do the inancer-
liig Tor the Institution.
Now, all the meanness of this black Abo-
Iiiion party here, Only goes to prove with
what haired, yea with what chagrln they
are forced 10 submit TO the election OF our
Democratic candidate.
Yours, &c, AN OBSERVER.
