we stoop to Conauer.

The Brigadier of the Columbian, who,
from the first has been making personal as
saults upon the junior editor of the DEMO
cRAT AND STAR, has at last gotmad and like
a whipped school-boy, when trife of his
coin is returned to him, came out in last
weeks Columbian, with nearly two columns
of stuff, consisting of low criticisms, trans
parent falsehoods, personal abuse, baby act
pleading and child-like calling of names, en-
inently characteristic of the sheet in It's pow
erty of intellect and sense, but species of
journalism which the junior editor of the
DEMOCRAT AND STAR does not propose to
initiate. From the beginning, the Column
bidn, has maintained this sort of warfare and
personal abuse upon the junior editor of this
paper, with all the malignity and vigor the
trifing ability connected with the concern
could afford, and with littleness seldom
seen in any paper, it attempts to show its
wit by fbbing and blubbering about few
typographical errors which unobserved ap-
peared in our paper, and which could have
been corrected a thousand times did we not
give ulOTe OIlBIIldl udJIcE III OuT pdpcE IildU
the Columbian contains. With some regard
for his feelings, and pity for his want of
sense, we again admonish him that itrequires
larger capital stock of brains, than he pos
sesses to become wit, and that the profes-
sion of blackguardism which he seems to
have adopted is frequently attended with
such cuffs and kicks as will not only set him
bowling but will prove his utter ruin. The
denunciation of the DEMOCRAT AND STAR,
aud the junior editor, by the Columbian, are
fully appreciated by us, by our readers, and
by the public. That paper does not, and
cannot argue question or discuss princi-
pie ; and, it is therefore much easier and more
in conformity with the intellectual capacity
of that concern to denounce us and our pa
per, then to disproye its statements or refute
its arguments but we take no pleasure in
exposing the Columbian stupidity or reply
ing to its silly squibs.

| This distinguished individual needs no
eulogy from US, but, as we are now expected
to advocate the claims of the people of this
county for men whom they desire shall rep
resent them in the councils of the nation,
the Hon. WILLIAM ELwELL highly deserves
place in the group. That he is the unan-
imous choice of the people Of this Congress
sional District for Congress, there isno longer
shadow of doubt. And it is equally evi-
dent that he is the most worthy, popular,
and influential man in the District and viii
accept the nomination. He is'distinguished
for his legal requirements and acumen, and
for his broad and comprehensive mind as a
judge, jurist and statesman. Unfortunately
for this Republic, selfish ambition has had
too much to do with the selection of men to
fill positions which require statesmen and
too often there is not sufficient regard for
that truthfulness and consideration for the
welfare of others, which should animate the
servants of the State. That these elements
of character are combined, in the subject of
our notice, is a fixed fact with all who know
him. Not mere pettifogger, who bubbles
and quarrels, but with his broad and COM
prehensive intellect he is enabled, with
moment notice, to grasp public questions,
and to suggest such measures as may be
necessary for the improvement of the people
and the development of the country. =
Therefore, we say, that in the person of the
Hon. WILLIAM ELwELL, we have all the
requirements necessary to draw, hastily and
correctly, nice distinctions, to come to correct
conclusions, and to see that justice is done
by nations and by individuals. We say,
again, that he has the intellectual power to
grasp, at single glance of the mind, the
truth in relation to a subject, to comprehend
the interior essence Of things, and, therefore,
he will make the best statesman. With his
unsurpassed popularity, and influence, wher-
ever known, which Unnecessary to secure his,
or any other mans election in this District,
we say, let him be nominated without
dispute.

"CoM1NG OUT OF THE Foul PARTY -

COMING OUT OF THE Foul PARTY. -
The Huntingdon GLo6e,-heretofore strong
Republican paper-has taken down the
name of Geary. 1t speaks as follows:
Before, and at the time Cen Geary was
nominated, and since then, and up to the is
sue made by the Harrisburg Telegraph, that
the larger Gearys majority, the steTner ,1iH
be the rebuke administered to Andrea1 John
SON, we were his friend, but we could not
feel certain at any time that his election was
sure, because one fact pressed upon us, that
the Radicals would use and abuse him. And
now that we have taken our position with
the National Union Party we cannot expect
him as the nominee of the Union RepGbli-
can party to stand upon our platform of
principles, we take his name down from our
masthead, and will have the place vacant
until a candidate is nominated who will en-
dorse the platform of our party. We could
support Geary asoldier, as man, as friend
but we cannot support him as the candidate
of the Radical Republican party. No friend
of Andrew johnson can vote for General
Geary. No sensible man, true friend of
Johnson's policy can restore this Union, can
vote for Gearyand by so doing aid the Radi-
Gals in passing an insulting Judgment upon
Andrew johnson Other men can and will
do as they please, but as for ourself we shall
act consistent with our professions.

State Senator.

On last Monday the Democratic Conven-
ton of this county, nominated the Hon.
LEVI L. TATE, for State Senator, with a
resolution, directing the Conferees to use all
honorable means to secure his nomination,
by the District Conference 1t is certain that
Col. TATE, was deserving this honor. Hav-
ing served the Democratic Party earnestly,
as an editor and public speaker, for period
of over thirty years, it was only spontane-
GUS tribute of the people TO his honesty, ca
pacity and fidelity. He is very favorably
known, not only in the District, but through
out the State-served faithfully in our State
Legislature, as Democratic champion of
liberty, when it was considered treason by
our political opponents who were then in
power, to be Democrat is very popular
among the people on account of his high So
cial standing, and for having aided the De
mocracy largely with both pen and voice in
every political contest since 1886. The De-
mocracy of this District can do no greater
credit to themselves than to confirm the
nomination of Mr. TATE, and we feel sure
that he viii receive such vote as his labors
deserve

soldiers National Convention.

The call for Soldiers National Conven-
ton to be held at Cleveland, Ohio, appear
ed in most of our exchanges 1t is to be
composed of those who served in the Army
and Navy of the United States during the
war, and who support the Union policy of
the President. The seventeenth of Septem-
Der is appropriately appointed as the day on
which the Convention shall assemble, that
being the anniversary of the adoption of the
Federal Constitution.
We have no doubt the Radicals would like
to apply to those whose names are attached
to this call the epithets which their unscru-
pulous malice has applied to all other true
friends of the Constitution and the Union.
But they viii hardly venture to make them
selves so ridiculous. The names attached to
the call are such as must command at least
the respect of the Radicals. The men who
here speak for the supremacy of the Con-
stitution and the restoration of the Union are
no 'pipe-clay soldiers or "home guards. -
They are nearly all of them officers who won
high distinction on the battlefield; and big
oted as radicalism is, there cannot be one of
its advocates so blinded by passion as not to
feel that if he should ascribe to the signers
of this call the sentiments which have been
deslgnedly ascribed to other opponents by
the Radical press, like Dogbery, he would
write himself down an ass. -
The large number of Generals and other
officers of high rank who have united in this
call have performed duty to themselves as
well as to their country. 1t was, as they
doubtless felt, duty they owe to their coun-
try to unite in the movement to restore the
Constitution to its former supremacy, and
they owed it to themselves to take the ac-
ton they have in order to let the country
understand that they have nothing in COM
mon with the malign spirit or disunion her
estes which form the Radical creed. The
call shows that they understand the OBJ
ject of the Misrepresentation and clamor in
which the enemies of restoration indulge,
and are not to be diverted from their sup
port of the restoration policy by the sophis-
tries or calumnies of the Radical disunionists.
The work goes bravely on, and the indica-
tions are that at the coming elections the
men who have arrayed themselves against
the Union and sought and still seek to de-
stroy the Constitution will be hurled from
power by the people.

bss5~ 1t will be remembered that the Re
publican party, when it nominated Geary,
made the action of Congress its PLATFORM
They endorsed all it had done as broadly as
they repudiated and denounced President
johnson. Congress, then, is Geary's plat
form. He must stand by all the Radicals
have done, and dare not repudiate single
one of their corrupt or revolutionary acts.
Let this fact be remembered by the people.
The acts and the opinions of Congress con-
stitute his platform. Keep that before the
people.

Ba~ In a congratulatory letter addressed
to the Democratic State Central Committee
of Kentucky, Mr.. Vallandigham says:
ALLOW me to renew by mail the congrat-
ulations this day transmitted by telegraph
upon the glorious victory achieved by the
Democracy of Kentucky yesterday 1t was
the triumph of principle and courage. You
did not fear to re-establish and maintain the
Democratic party in all its integrity as an
organization, and to proclaim the old and
sound Constitutional Union and State Rights
faith of the fathers of that party. You
were not afraid to invite to your aid men of
the Democratic party at home, and from
abroad, who were odious to tyrants and the
apologists or miniOns of tyrants, only be-
cause they had first made tyranny odious
itself Truly and overwhelmingly, therefore,
the reaction begins to set in. The "Great
Hereafter" at last is at hand But twas
not, as your foes asserted, question of the
blue jacket against the grey, but of the grey
and the blue combined in holy fellowship, to
do battle and to win victory against the black
jackets of Puritan selfshness and fanaticism
'Tis the dawn of that bright and better day
when the Constitution shall be maintained,
the Union restored, and constitutional lib
erty, personal and political, made secure,
through the arts of peace, Cancellation and
statesmanship

BSS- The tricks to which tho intriguers of
the Columbian resort are unworthy of any
honest man. They have inaugurated
through its columns system of the vilest
and meanest falsehoods, and most shameless
misrepresentation of our course, for the
very purpose of effecting a split in the Dem
ocratic party of this county. 1t is the very
thing they desire and we told our Democratic
friends this long ago. 1t is the only thing
that will give them political power and a
chance for future success. Union and har-
mony among the Democrats of this county
Is death to the Columbian, and Its advisers
know it. Hence their struggle for a divi-
sion in our ranks-their false coloring and
their abuse of the DEMOCRAT AND STAR.
We believe that the Democratic party un-
derstand themselves better than this Colun,-
bian can teach them, and they see that it is
petty, dishonOrable and unbecoming sheet,
deserving only of their condemnation, and
beneath their dignity and manhood.

Organize.

We take occasion to again call the attcn-

and decisive action in organizing our forces
for the coming fight. The Fall elections for
members Of Congress are most important,
and we must make every effort to carry in
these elections as many members of Con-
gress as possible. The States of California,
Iowa, Illinois, Michigan, Indiana, Kansas,
Maryland, Missouri, Delaware, Minnesota,
New Jersey, Wisconsin, Ohio, Pennsylva-
mia, and New Z York elect their Congressional
delegates this Fall Out of the total number
to be elected there can be forty-fve or fifty
gained by the Democracy # are 90 to
'corh an earnest and properly organize. We
must not hazard the great, the incalcuable
benefit to be derived from this accession of
strength to the supporters of President
JOHNSON, by supineness or want of energy.
We all know the value of energetic organ
lzatlon, of prompt and decisive movements.
We therefore earnestly urge upon our friends
all through the country to advance at once to
the work-to be firm and active as possible,
and to have meetings in every State, every
county, every township and voting precinct
in the United States; and establish work
ing and energetic organization which will
carry every Conservative voter into the ranks
of the supporters of President Johnson
We urge the Immediate attention of our
friends to this matter, and counsel them to
delay not a minute in the good work
