WOODWARD'S MAJORITY in Col.
unbia County will be near 1000.
Democratic.

The following Preamble and Resolution
passed at the great Democratic meeting
at Allentown, on the 7th inst, should be
read by every Democrat
"AND WHEREAS, We are fully convin-
ced that much of the bitter hatred and
heart. burning strife which is cursing our
land to-day, and filling its once happy
homes with widows and orphans, is owing
to the persistent efforts TO class of men
who, as ministers of the Gospel of Jesus,
are pledged to the teaching of "peace on
earth and good will to all men," but who,
closing their coward eyes to the sins OF
their own congregations and communities,
compound for this hypocritical blindness
by denouncing the sins of those who are
too remote to profit by their teachings or
resent their impertinences, and, having
thus arrayed one section Of this land
against'the other, seem now to exult in
the horrid carnage which is destroying
our people, and are urging Oh a war so
fierce and bloody in it's details that even
devils might blush to adv cate it, and are
rcpelling with vindictive hate all thoughts
of amcable adjustment, Therefore,
Resolrea, That, while we cheerlully ac-
cord to every man the fullest right to en-
tertain and express by opinion and vote
his personal preference on all questions Of
public policy, we here deliberately pledge
ourselves and recommend the Democracy
of the State and nation to pledge them
selves, henceforth to Withhold all social
and pecuniary support from every minister
of the Gospel who has prostituted, or
shall hereafter prostitute, his sacred call
ing and his pulpit, and insult his congre-
cation by the public discussion of partisan
politics or the claims of partisan eandi-
dates for Office.

The Election in Columbia Co.


We give to-day the reported vote in this
county upon Tuesday, from which it will
be seen that the magnificent vote of last
year is fully maintained. Our vote will
nearly reach 1000 majority, which, for a
county Of the size Of ours, is most decided
and gratifying. 1t is vote of about two
to one, the advantage being in our favor,
and it fixes permanently the character of
the county as one of the leading Demo-
cratic counties of the State. The decision
Of the people of Columbia county against
Governor Curtin is indeed strong and is
righteously given. The majority here
against him in 1860 was 73s. 1t is now
nearly 1900! When the majorities for
Judge Woodward in Columbia and Mon
tour are added together, it will be seen
that the whole Democr attic vote within the
limits Of what was Columbia county for
merly, is better than it ever was before at
any contested election. We are proud OF
this result, for we know it to be the honest
voice Of the people, and believe it to be
an intelligent and just judgment pronoun.

Reply Of Bishop Hopkins 10 Bishop
Potter.


We have heard of embalming in prussic
acid, but never had visible example Of it
before we read the recent admirable epis-
tie by Bishop Hopkins. Yet there is noth-
ing fierce or denunciatory in a single par.
agraph. There is the digOity of the Bish-
op, the courtesy of the gentleman and the
gentlencss Of the Christian, manifest in
every line. He does not render railing,
for railing, but contrariwise," in accor-
dance with tho Apostles injunction. The
attack of the Pennsylvania Bishop was so
unprovoked, unnecessary, and SO full of the
malignity of a political partisan, that it
might have stirred the heart of even SO
pure and gentle nature as that of the
Bishop of Vermont to rcbuking with Bit
terness. But his high Christian nature
was proof against the temptation, and he
responds to the attack simply in the Ian.
guage of rebuke and Christian expostula-
ton; but the rebuke and exposulation
manifest what is meant by the phrase
"heaplng Goals of fire" on the head of an
adversary. What a scathiDg, withering
rebuke upon the consistency ofthis Bishop
turned politician, is administered in the
following passage:
"For many years you met in brotherly
council with these Southern shareholders
You invited them to the hosptalities of
your house, and paid them especial defer.
ence. The new light of Eastern Abolition
ism had not yet risen within our Church
and if You then thought, as you now think
you took excellent care that no man among
your Southern friends should know it.

mary, only three years ago, was the Vir-
ginia school at Alexandria, raised to great
prosperity by Bishop Meade, STAKEHOLDER,

with my Bible view of slavery was taught
in that institution"

couragemeut of irreligion, and the impious
innovations conntenanced by New England
religious societies. is as just as it is true

YER Of the condition of the community
about him, and manifests a statesmanlike
sagacity in tracing the cause Of our present
troubles to their true origin. Horace has
warned painters against combining mans
head with a horses neck, of making o
beautiful woman terminate in the tail ot
a fish; and we would advise the senior
Bishop of Pennsylvania against similar
ineongruity, by trying to write the head
of prelate in lawn sleeves, with the seal y
tail Of political scrpant of the Loyat
League pattern, crawling on his belly in
all the dust and slime Of that political

B9- A Democratic speaker very truth
fully remarked at meeting in Western
Pennsylvania, that one King had lost his
head and another his throne for acts far
less infamous and tyrannical than those of
Abraham Lincoln, and that he would
have lost his head for his acts had they
occurred in any other country but his own.
Louis Philips was driven out of France
for much less tyranny than has disgraced
this Abolition administration.

shaken the bridge from end to end as well
as portion of the land and tenements in
the vicinity, causing many to imagine that
an earthquake had taken place. The
rock and earth have formed small Island
in the river, but it is expected that the
action of the water will speedily remove
it, as the current is very swift and strong

have been very frequent in the vicinity of
