WHEN Colonel Tate was up Fishing
ck,procuringnamcs to hi, ,bolt-paper
they refused to sign on The ground that
it would split the party and give the
Radicals Il chance. Thereupon the Col
oncl pledged himself that if the Radi-
calls should nominate Il candidate he
would Immediately Withdraw, and
throw his influence in favor Of Cap
tain Chalfant. He also told them that
" the understanding was that the Re-
publicans should not nominate Il can
didatc for representative" This he
salt Mhte presence of Cyr1tS R2j5HS anil
&erCrdI OherS. Now the Colonel claims
that he is the regular nominee of the
Democracy, and says in his ad,lrcs, con-
tanned in the DrBiOcrdt URi SIai' of last
week as follows: In Il word, am
the only regular nominee of the De-
mOcracy of Columbia County for Rep
rcSCntative to tine Legislature in the
district composed Of the Counties of
Columbia and Montour." What, the
regular nominee of the untcrriicl De-
mocracy withdraw in the event of the
opposite party having candidate! As
it is denied by everybody except Bolt
ers themselves that Colonel Tate is the
regular nominee of the Democracy, we
naturally looked for some proof of such
Il bold assertion, but in vain. In all
his lengthy address he does not attenpt
to show when and how such nomiAa-
tions first became regUldr, nor give Il
single instance when the Democracy of
Columbia made nominations in the
manner he claims to have been nomi-
mated. On the contrary, the uniform
practice has always been in conformity
TO the following rule of the Democratic
party, regularly adopted and in force,
viz: "AIl nominations of candidates
shall be in County Conventions" I'm
forcsccn contingencies might happen
when it would be proper for the Stand
ing Committee to call the Democratic
County Convention together; but if
such event had happened, there would
have been other candidates, and the Con-
Vcntion would have appointed Confer
ecs in favor of some man other than
the Market Street Colonel"

BDMOCRAT AND STAR.
This is the secret, and accounts for
the great industry of the Boilers in beg
ging names to the Tate bOlt-papcrs; in
hopes thereby to divide the responsible
ity among so many, as to save their
own nccks. When we christcned them
It's the Whislicy Brigade" they knew
perfectly well that we referred to the
BoLTERS; and in the same paper we
explained as follows: "Under this dcs-
ignation CBolter5,) we do not intend to
include the great majority of the short
list of names appended to the state
ment published, but only the leaders,
by whose influence all the others were
obtained, and whose determination to
rule or ruin the party is now mani
fest to the mcanest capacity"
1t has turned out just as we expected,
that the Whisllcy Brigade, would take
refuge under the cover of the names
Of rcspcctablepcrsons they had eXtorted
by begging and deception; notwith-
standing it is well known that Il large
portion Of this small number are doing
all they can for Captain Challant and
the whole Democratic ticket.

The Market stroot Colonel.

In the last Democrat dad star, Colonel |
Tate says: "that letters were signed
by myself, John q. Frcczc, and others,
years ago, 70 Oaks aud jackson, n,--but
never was II then thought or supposed
by either Oft us, or cvcn Members Them
selves, until the bill had passed the
House Of Representatives., that il was
to be ~ the expense Of the taN-paYer7
of Columbia County" Now il will be
seen by Colonel Tute's letters to Jack
son, in another column, that like his
letter to Oaks, they were signed by no
person but himself. And we would in
quirc how the bill for opening and
widening of Market street at the cN-
pcnsc of the County could have passed
the House Of Representatives without
the knowledge of Colonel Tate, or even
the Members themselves? Certainly
the Members who passed the bill knew
what it was. Again, where did Colonel
Tate suppose the money was TO come
from to widen Market Street and pay
for six or seven dwclling-hOuscs and
land, to at least the amount of ten OF
twelve, and perhaps fifteen thousand
dollars? II the people of Bloomsbury
were to have paid for it, they certainly
had no occasion to apply to the Lcgisla
turc. Colonel Tate and every body else
in Bloom-burg knew perfectly wei
that the whole object of the bill was, tC
get Bloomsbury improved ut the cX.
pcnsc of the County. That was the
! plan long before Colonel Tate's pet bill
was sent to Harrisburg, and the Editor
of the COItmjiG DrBlOcrd was expected
! to have sufficient influence with Ou
Representatives to hurry the hantIin.
| through before the people in the county
could hear of it. Hence he wrote t
Jackson to Slkc hold of IL Us soon as /
comes from the Senate. 1t must be did.'
Certainly, our neighbOr did not cXppc
the people OF Bloomsbury to pay for it
The people viii believe about aS mucl
of his explanation as they do of his de
nial contained in the DCmOTm dlst
star of the tWcnty-sccond of August
1865. Writing over his own signature
and referring to the charge that he hac
been in favor Of opening Market Street
he said:
! had fondly hoped that this ancipn
| bUg-5c0J, of over ten wears standing, TT
| WHICH | HAVE EVER BEEN Op
POSED, had r0m0Scd and gone to th
Tombs of Gapuicts.'"

THE conspiracy between Tate, Jaco-
by, Fruit and Doctor John, has some
special object not yet fully developed.
That is evident to every man in the
County. Tate was candidate for the
Senate. Before the meeting Of the con-
vention Doctor John expressed n pref
ercncc for Tate. The people wondered
and pondcrcd. When the Convention
met, the leaders of the Conspiracy pro-
cceded a step furtherin their plot. They
had the following resolution passed, to
wit:
ReSO'red, That John Snyder and
Robert c. Fruit be the Representative
Conierees to support the choice of Mon
tour County, provided they support the
candidate of this county for state Scna-
tor.
The object, of course, was to force on
the district the nomination of Tate, as
had been previously arranged between
the high contracting parties. The
schcmc failed, because Judge Oaks, who
knew Tate well, could not be induced
to support him.
They became desperate in their dies.
pair. Tate and keller, after long con.
fcrcnCes with the Republican leaders
obtained the engagement of Doctor
John, c. f. Knapp, and the Rev. Row
dy Bcckley, that no Radical candidate
should be nominated, and that they
would support Tate. The chairman o
the Standing Committee was operated
upon, the Berwick paper was secured
and the party bound hand and foot anC
handed over 10 Doctor John.
Thus Tate having failed in his Scna
torial aspirations, was, for Il considera
ton, induced to dON the nomination
and upon the assurance by John
Knapp, and Bcckley, of Republican
support) col,iaicert for ISscmbV.
Now, why does Tate SO persistentlS
seek to secure a seat in some branch o
the Legislature, and why do the Rcpub
licans enter into Il bargain with him tt
give him their vote? OF course it i,
not for the mere honor of scat there
that Tate persists-that, by the favor o
the party he seeks to destroy, he ha,
once enjoyed. Nor do the Republican,
vote for him out Of love for the man
however much they may love the tren
son of which he is to be the chief in
strument.

LITTLE, in his CAMPAIGN, saws
that Doctor John is to print Colonel
Tate's name along with the Republican
ticket for circulation. This is not the
tuct. Doctor John has nothing to do
with Tate's ticket. t."-DEMOCEAT AND
STAR.
No, of course not. After the CAM
rATGN issued, Tate, Jacoby, and Doctor
John made different arrangements. ia
cobY printed regular Radical Republi-
can tickets, with Tate's name added
and delivered them to Doctor John or
Samuel knorr, who sent them out along
with the tickets Doctor John printed
himself and the circular of Samuel
knOrr contained in another column.
Doctor john did also print falsely, II
bogus Democratic ticket, with Mercur's
and Tate's names substituted for the
names Of Judge ElWcll and Captain
ChGllant; a5 seen in another column.
The ticket and circular referred to can
be seen at the office of the editor of this
paper. So friend JacOby, don't keep
your paper back from your town sub
scribers any longer on OUR account

can instructed the election officers TO
reject the votes of certain persons de-
nominated descrtCrs. BY acting on this
advice some one or more Of this editors

have been satisfied with one effort to
get their friends into trouble, especially
if they had been as successful in so doing
As was this editor. Bat we are sorry to
sec this is not the case with Doctor
John. He repeats his advice to the
election officers and bcgS them to obey a
law which even his reiidbic lawyers will

clearly unconstitutional. We advise

Tate replied that he did not want him

can. All that he wanted of him, and
all the like Of him, was just to vote

AS District Attorney for this County,
and under obligation such to prosecute
offenders AGAINST the laws Of the Com
monwcalth, / deem it my duty, to call
your attention to a question of voting
at the approaching election.
In the Constitution of the state, you
will find thequalilications of an clector,
plainly set forth; and '.atil there be
some Radical change in thut instrument,
we must accept it rs ii is.
The General Election Laws more full
ly recitc these qualifications, and these
laws must be our guide in dcrmining
who shall, and who shall not participate
in the privileges of the ballot-boX.
1t has been maintained by some, for
political effect, that class of persons
commonly called dcscrtcrs," are not
entitled to vote at state elections, and
that an election board must reject their
votes.
On the eleventh day Of June, 1866, sn
act of Assembly was passed intended to
carry into effect the act of Congress
passed on the third Of March, 1865, de-
priving certain persons commonly called
"dcscrtcrs' of the right to vote. Sub
