Hg- Speaking of the election of Buck
a,ew to the United States Senate, the
Dem &c Sent says that the Democracy
should Row begin to 'hold up their

We fear the number OF bricks that are
USUALLY carried ibside their hats would ef-
fectually prevent such demonstration on
the part of the fierce Demccracie.

never be able to advantageously "hold up

GENERAL tAMERoN.-Says the fI|eSs ::
\ person named T. Jefferson Boyer, z
member CO the State House Of Represen-
tatiyes from the county Of Clearfeld, has
published an elaborate card in Harris
burg new8pa per, charging Gen. Cameron
with having endeavored to purchase his
vote for SIC, 600. The card Of Mr.. Boyer
is very amusing performance. and we re
gret our sraco vii, not permit US to repro
duce il. We think, however, that it is a
confession that his children will blush to
read. If it could be true, it would show
that Mr.. Boyer IS capable of many things
that do not become thc gentlemen-that
he regards party triumphs of more value
than personal honor, truth, and the feel
ing of respect that should exist between
man and man. This is Mr. Boyer's por-
trait as it is drawn by himself, and we
repeat, it is one that in after years he will
look upon with shame. As TO the truth
Of these charges we are not to Judge. AS
to the virtue of Mr.. Boyer it is certain
that thousand Philadelphia Democrats
were very suspicious. and deemed their
personal presence, we'll armed and equip
ed, necessary precaution- General
Cameron is not now in Harrisburg, but is
expected soon to return. He will then,
we are assured, make a statement that
will con'ouud all his enemies, and set at
rest the malignant calumnies that have
been uttered against him

MEXICO BY the steamship Sheldrake,
just arrived, we have Havana dates of the
10th
The news from Mexico IS interesting
and exciting. The communication OF
the French army between Vera Cruz and
Orizaba has been completely cut of by the
Mexican guerriI!as, and can only be re-
established and kept up by the French
posting strong guards ali along the route.
The guerrillas are in strong force all along
the road, and worry the French army
increasingly. 1t is reported that the
French army has been again repulsed and
driven back from before PuebIa, with
great loss Gen BeIthiers' van guard
1000 strong, and about 1000 Of the French
killed and wounded. Several French
officers were taken by the lassoo and
dragged off The prospects OF the French
look exceedingly bad. They cannot get
supplies from the country, and they are
surrounded by a determined enemy, who
watch every opportunity to take advantage
of them. No French soldier can stray
from camp without being lassooed and
dragged off by some Mexican guerrilla
who is on the watch for him. The small
pox in its most malignant form, has bro
ken out among the French troops in Vera
Cruz \ lazaretto is being built for this
class OF patients.

Change ln Northern Sentiment.

Making Gov Seymour's message its
text, the Richmond Wig discourzes as
follows
al one might Judge Yankees on the
same principle we employ in judging the
rest Of mankind, it might be safe to con-
clude that some convulsion was impending.
The fall elections in the North, aud espe-
cially that Of New York, have been fol-
lowed by a most wonderful revolution in
words and actions, both by Government
and people. For eighteen months reign
of terror, cruel and relentless, prevailed
throughout the Northern States. The
freedom Of the press and of speech was
abolished, all the liberties of the citizen
were in abeyance, arbitrary arrests by
telegraph, and Incarceration without trial,
were the order of the day. But as soon
as Seymour was elected Governor of New
York, the prison doors were opened, the
victims of tyranny were set free, and il
was given out shat no more arrests in the
loyal States would be made.
- From this it would appear that Sew
ard thought there was something more
than a mere formallty iiP that election I;
that it meant something real, threatening,
and practical. At the same time, the
Northern papers, who are endowed with
the most scurrilous tongues of any set of
blackguards since the days of the Roman
Plebs, and who had been dumb as oysters
during the whole Reign OF Terror, recoy-
cred the use of their tongues and their
capacity for vituperation. They have not
been spuring inthe exercise Of this talent,
and DO rebel print can compare with some
Of them in the bitterness and feroclty of
the attacks upon their late idols. This,
too, may mean something. As free speech
aud tyranny cannot long co-exist, it may
be that the downfall Of the tyrants may
be at hand.
"While this remarkable change has
come over the Yankee Government and
press, the army appears to have felt the
influence. At this very time several Of
the most distinguished of their generals
are arraigncd Ieiore courts OF inquiry,
some for disobedieuce Of orders, some for
incompetency, and some for treason, and
generals are summoned as witnesses to
testify against generals. The spectacle is
refreshing. II it were any one else than
Yankees, who are engaged ia this interne-
cine war, we should rot hesitate to predict
a catastrophe. Very high authority tells
us that house divided against itself must
fall But the Yankees are exceptional
They afe s,u generiiS, and are governed by
rules not applicable to christianized com
munities. Throw cat into the air as
You may, and ne vii! fail upon his feet
So it may be, with the Yankees. Discord,
and villipending, and wrangling among
themselves, may not be attended with the
same effects with them as with others
The result must determine"

The ARRAY Of tkse FGiSinac in
Notion!

The Army Of the Potomac moves again
to battle after months rest West and
South the winter campaign is to be made
an active and important one The address
Of Gen. Burnside which Is annexed will!
send thrill Of enthusiasm 10 the soul Of
every loyal man in the North, and the
best wishes and prayers of the masses, who
still love the Union, vii be freely given
for the success of the present movement.
Inaugurated amid gloom, and prejudice,
and untoward circumstances Of all sorts,
aud from all quarters, ii may be that the
triumphs in store for this army will be
rendered the more remark able and glorious
in consequence Of their existence. The
words Of General Order, No. 7, would
seem to indicate positively that large
part of Gen. Lees army had been seut to
the Southwest and South, in the hope
that our army would be mul bound on the
banks of the RappahonnocS during the
winter We have TO doubt that the news
that Bragg had thus been reinforced is
true, and that, although we may have
bloody work before Richmond, our success
will be certain in the end. 1t is time for
us to launch against the encmY al Of our
strong columns, aud not fritter away our
forces by simply harassing The enemy and
attempting to occupy his territory before it
is conquered, We must make regular ad-
vances, and bring ourselves to the rea.iza-
ton of the fact that we are waging il great
war:

have free canvass and a fair election,
they will rise against the Abolition des-

that the trial was delayed, aud trans

interval the eyes Of many more honest
people have been opened TO the true char
acter of this war and of the object foI
which it is being waged and a more
general unanimity Of feeling and action
will result, in the event of a collision
