Borough Election.
Splendid Democratic Triumph.

The election for borough officers, on Friday
last, resulted in most signal victory for the
Democracy. The Democratic majority on the
vote for Judge of election (the test) is lS! Last
fall Curtin had majority Demo.
cratic gain of 49,. The triumph is the greater
inasmuch as certain men who have heretofore
professed to be Democrats, permitted their
names to be placed upon tie Abolition ticket
and did their best to disorganize the party
These men have been nursed and fondled and
fed by the Democratic party. The very bread
they have eaten for the past four or five years,
has bsen placed in their mouths by Democratic
votes. Their very political life was hreathed
into their nostrils by the Democracy, through
which they have ''lived and moved and had
their being" But these miserable ingrates, for
getting how and by whom they were made what
they are, with the basest and meanest ingrati-
tude, and in the most cowardly and treacherous
manner, have arrayed themselves against their
political friends and struck the assassin's blow
at the party they professed to honor and cher
ish And now, we desire it to be distinctly un-
dcrstood that we are not endeavoring to "read"
these men ont of the party. They have saved
"a that trouble. They have placed themselves
outside Of the pale Of the Democratic organza.
ton, and whilst with their own hands they have
written down their names on the roll of infamy,-
they Rave also, by their own act, made known
70 the world that they are no longer Democrats,
but Abohhonists We have known for months
that they were secretly plotting treason against
the party; but we waited for the overt act to
justify us in the denunciation of their guilt and
shame. We call the attention of the Demo-
Gratis of the county, to the names on the Abo-
lition ticket, published below. Let the rene
gades be marked. The brand of Cain is upon
them and they shall be known only in the fu-
ture history Of the Democracy, as the petty inn
itators of Judas, the betraycr.
It is but just that we should say, in this con-
aecfion, that the name Of H. Nicodemus, Esq,
was placed upon the Abolition ticket, without
that gentlcman's consent. The Squire says he
is Democrat and can't be forced into O false
position t

Succor for the Wounded.

Within the past few days 10000 o
our soldiers have been struck down OF
scattered at one t m seven trains Of
wounded were sent TO Washington; there
are at least 10000 wounded men lying
at this moment on battle-felds, or narrow
hospital stretchers 10000 parched lip;
trembling with pain, and mangled limbs
and uncertain lives; 10000 household;
mourning or in suspense.
1t 10 time for every humane man ant
woman to come to the relief of the SAM
tary commission. They earnestly ash
help for the men, who have laid down
their lives for US, drink for the parchet
lips, bandages for shattered limbs, and
comfort for souls, in the sure evidence
that tender hands at home are caring fol
them. If all the gold of Potosi were
sent TO Washington to-day it could moi
filter through the necessary government
weddings of red tape before half our
wounded had expired from neglect. The
sanitary commission has made broader
''channels for the streams of love" Let
US fill them,
The president of the Springfield sani-
tary commission has lately returned from
New York, with tiding5 that there is
pressing reed for assistance. AT the
New York relief rooms every garment
had been distributed. The immediate
demand is for old linen aud cotton, for
these specially and for sheets, hospital
shirts and cotton drawers. There is al
ready at Washington an abundant supply
of lint Boxes will be packed at the
vestry of the Unitarian church in Spring
field on Friday, May 20; and the ves>
try will be opened Thursday afternoon
to receive contributions. Persons who
have 10 their possession unfinished work
will please finish and send it in on one
OF those days.
The ladies of the sanitary commis>
sion ask for a general and generous re-
Spouse to this call. They beg that no
one will hesitate to give from the small
ness Of any contribution which they may
be able to make,-one bandage, one gar,

Of sanitary help and tenderness. And
