The Danville Zntelligencer harps exceeding
ly about the mistaken idea that Mr.. Chal-
fant is the regularly nominated candidate for
Representative. Mr.. Chalfant had only a
conditional nomination as was well known by
himself and SO declared by the Conferees.
The conditions were not complied with and
there was then no candidate in nomination
by the consent of the Columbia County Con-
ferees, and it is for this reason-to place a
candidate in nomination-that the Confer
ees requested the nomination of Col TATE
For the Conferees of Columbia to consent to
the fraudulent acts of Mr. Chalfant, and say
he is the regularly nominated candidate,
would be gross violation of the trust given
in their hands by the County Convention.
The nomination of Col. TATE is strictly in
accordance with the will and direction of the
Columbia County Convention LEVI L.
TATE is the only properly nominated Demo-
cratic candidate for Representative. He is
the man for whom every Democrat must
vote if he would accept the motto of The
Campaign, stick to the ticket, the whole
ticket, and nothing but the ticket

COURAGE, DEMOCRATS The signs of the
times are auspicious. The political atmos-
phere is becoming dailymore clear and trans
parent The Democratic masses everywhere
are closing up their ranks and preparing for
the mighty conflict Thousands of honest
Republicans are breaking loose from the
trammels of their party leaders, and are
uniting with their Democratic neighbors in
the glorious work of restoring the Union and
saving the Constitution from the impious and
ruthless hands of the spoilers The skies
arc bright, and all that is wanting to ensure
success is for every Democrat to 20 his whole
duty from now until the polls close on the
day of the election.

n@- Mr.. Little, editor of the Campaign,
in his address to the people says, we (mean-
ing the Democratic Party woke up in the
morning and found that we were without an
organ" This is an intended falsehood. Mr..
Little knows that both the Democratic or
gans, the BERWICK GAZETTE and the DEM
oCRAT AND STAR, are of the pure Jersey
blue Democracy; believing that men appoint
ed and elected by the people are the servants
of the people, and are in duty bound to obey
their instructions. Hence, the clique woke
up and found the Democratic organs of this
county unwilling to support any candidate
except those nominated by the people Cor
rupt politicians and money shall not be al
lowed to control the Democratic Party. We

RaF Thomas Chalfant, his Conferees, nor
his friends, who accompanied him to this
place on the day of his Conferee meeting,
did not attend the meeting of Senatorial
Conference at Bloomsbury, on Tuesday, the
4th of September, 1866 THIS ,cas the day
appointed for the meeting, and not one of
those gentlemen t0ere present. 1t is true, Mr..
Campbell did attend on the second day, but
arrived when it was too late for him to assist
in the nomination of Columbia County's
choice, even if he had been disposed to do
so. No one supposed that the Conference
would last two days That was not the in
tention. We refer to this matter only be-
cause we noticed it repeatedly stated in the
Chalfant organs last week that they, the
Representative Conferees, had fulfilled every
pledge made, one of which was that they
would be here and use their influence for
the nomination Of Senator from Columbia
County. Now, they did not mean to make
their pledges good, OF else they knew they had
no influence with the Montour Senatorial Con-
ferees, hence they stayed at home, to allow
their agents to do their pipe-laying work, in
defeating Col TATE

Eay- The Pipe-layers endeavor to make a
point against our nominee for Representa-
tive by saying, through their little organ, that
he was not the choice of the county because,
as they say, he had only SIX townships. THIS
is not the fact. He received the majority of
votes in the Convention, and it naturally fol-
lows that he must have been the choice Of
that body to have become the nominee. 1t
is fact, that Col. TATE was second in
strength, when tie compare the real strength
Of the three candidates for the Office of Sen
ator lie had more votes than McNinch !;
and, as matter of right, the Delegates in
structed for Mr.. McNinch, after he did not
come into the Convention, were at liberty to
support their next choice, which they did,
and the result was, that COL TATE received
the majority of votes, and was made the
nominee for Senator Yet the clique, which
are trying to smash things in this county,
declare IN their little organ that Col TATE
was not the choice of the Convention. All
this viii do for them to talk about; but not
one of them would refuse to take nomina-
ton under similar circumstances, and after
ward claim to be the choice of the county

Hon. william Elwen.


Hon. WM. ELwELL, the candidate of the
Democracy of this District, is daily and rap
idly gaining friends from out the Republican
ranks. Judge MERcUR is the Represents
tive Of the black man. Look at his course
relative to the negro soldiers, and compare it
with his vote on the bounty bill for the
white boys in blue" He has been the
means of the white" soldiers receiving a
small, Insignificant bounty, say one hundred
dollars Yes, if his vote would have de-
cided the matter, they would get no bounty
at all, for he voted against the bounty. He
voted for negro suffrage, the constitutional
Amendments, Civil Rights Bill, and the
Freedmen's Bureau Bill, all of which bills
the President returned to the House with
his veto messages, fully and clearly setting
forth his objections to the bills. The Radi-
Gals determined to have these bills become
law, in spite of the opposition of the Pres
ident, they passed them over his head by a
two-thirds party vote-MERCUR voting
with the Radicals on every question. Will
the people of this District endorse his course?
Will the soldiers give him their suffrage?
Will the farmers, the heavy tax payers gen
orally, assist in his election, since his having
legislated large sum of money out of your
pockets to support the negro in filth and
idleness2

rD- E. H. Little, Esq, of this place, is
editing a Campaign paper for certain
clique in this and Montour County. Stephen
Miller & Co., of this town, are announced
as proprietors They managed to give birth
to the paper, on Saturday afternoon last,
about o'clock. 1t was only an half sheet,
of the Columbian size. The editors seem
TO forget every issue but the Representative
question; on that issue they are going their
whole length for the Montour County man,
and opposing Col. Levi L. Tate, the choice
of Columbia County. Through misrepre-
sentation and deception they hope to succeed,
but we rely upon the good judgment and de-
cision of the people of this county at the
ballot-box, for the success of the whole Dem
ocratic ticket. as it appears at the head of
our paper. We will see what we shall
see."

The Representative Question.

It is due our readers that we define our
position on the question of Representative,
and give our reasons for pursuing the course
to which we are already committed. As far
as we are personally concerned, we have
no grievances to redress. When we were
first apprised of the perfdy of our political
friends of Montour county, and that the De-
mocracy of Columbia county were determin-
ed to maintain her rights at all hazards, the
alternative was spresented, whether we would
stand by the Democracy of Columbia county,
among whose people we have cast our lot,
or go with Montour, who had basely betray-
ed and deserted us for the fourth time, in the
hour of need We concluded to go with
the former, and assist her in the mainte-
nance of her rights.
We are aware that in so doing we subject
ourselves to the charge Of "disorganization, !"
Well, so be it. If refusing to submit to re-
peated wrongs,-to violated faith,-subjects
us to such charges, we can't help it. We
stand by the rightsof Columbia cOuntyi
1t is only necessary for us to refer to the
record, to show how we have been treated
by Montour during the past eight or nine
years In 1858, Col John G.. Freeze, re-
ceived the nomination of Colunbia county
for State Senator. Montou defeated him an
Conference In 1860, Columbia county in
structed her conferees to support Hon. NJ
L. jackson, Of Berwick. Montour defeated
him IN Confcreace In1S63, Columbia coun-
| ty instructed for Hon. l.. i. Tate, for State
! Senator. N0ntour defeoted him IN Confer
! eace, and now in 1866 Columbia, after des-
perate struggle for the nomination, present
ted him again for nomination, and Montour
REFUSES TO GIVE HIM ONE VOTE IN CONFER
ENCEl
Is it to be wondered at that she should,
afterthese repeated wrongs, assert her rights?
Not at all. And we think every Columbia
county Democrat, should aid her in doing
SO. 1t will teach men who have been enga-
ged in political trafficking for years, that
there should be honor in politics as well as
in matters of Business As to the candidates
we have nothing to say Mr.. Chalfant, is
gentleman of ability The same can be said of
the gentleman whose name now floats at our
masthead, The question therefore reverts
back to the people, and we shaA be content
with their decision, as it shall be rendered at
the ballot -box.-Berloicb Gazette

rs The Pipe-layers who want to break
up the great Democratic Party of the coun-
try, and who succeeded in defeating the will
of the Democracy, as expressed in their late
County Convention, are trying to twist out of
the matter in manner that is really more
distressing than amusing Their latest
dodge-that of printing at the Office of the
Columbian, mongrel sheet in the interest of
certain abolitionists-of the men who bro I
into Columbia county the soldiers who car
ried off to prisons and otherwise grossly maj
treated numbers of ourmost respectable cit
izens-this dodge of the new paper is, seri-
ously speaking, abominable. No argument
Is necessary.
The Democracy will give Col TATE such
a majority as viii, on certain fine morning
soon TO come round, lift them out of their
boots.

E45~ The men who look after Mr. Chal-
fant's interests in this county, through hard
pleading and the expenditure of much time,
have succeeded in getting some TWENTY
FIVE persons, out of the large number
who have rendered their support to Col.
Tate, to agree that their names might be
withdrawn from the list as published in our
last paper. We have had conversation with
several, whose names appear in the ''recan-
tation" list published in the Campaign, and
they have invariably informed US that they
will vote for Col Tate, notwithstanding they
allowed the publishers of the Pipe laying
sheet to use their names This was the
last kick"

EB~ There is good reason to believe that
the Columbian of this place was established
with the intention of becoming Democratic
paper after the election "This is the nat
ural explanation of its course and of the
conduct of its managers and their associates,
as follows: Brockway, Eyerly, Little and the
Freezes. 1t was claimed, at first, that the
paper was established to perform certain
mission, and that was to revolutionize this
Congressional District and defeat MERcUR,
the Abolition candidate for reelection to
Congress. How well it is performing that
job, the result at the polls on the 9th of Oc-
tober will explain. During the whole Sum-
mer certain Democrats were busily soliciting
subscriptions and advertising for that estab-
lishment, in an u,,derhanded and sncaking
manner, thus injuring the business of their
own Democratic editors Why was this
done? Simply because these men expected
to take control of the paper ere long. They
were not contented with one Democratic pa
per, however much they expressed gratifca-
ton over the consolidation Of the DEMOCRAT
AND STAR. For our part, we care little how
many papers are printed; ;-misery loves COM
pany ;-as publishing country paper is a
thankless, sinking business, to make the
best of it

L9 For FIVE or six years the Radicals
said that any one who spoke disrespectfully
of the President of the United States was
disloyal.' As long as they had the power
they persecuted in the most shameful man
ner all who dared to give an honest express
SION OF opinion in regard to the policy of
the Chief Magistrate. Now, they not only
abuse the President, but openly insult him.

EG~ The Abolition party in this county
did the best thing they could have done for
the Democratic party, when they imported
Senator LANDoN, of Bradford, to this county
to make speeches for their cause. He has
made several votes for our candidate for
Congress, Judge ELwELL, to our certain
knowledge. Wewould suggest to the Chair
man of the Democratic Standing Committee
of this county, that he engage LANDoN to
thoroughly stump this county He is of the
most radical stripe; goes the whole length
for the negro; and is not content with any
thing short of negro suffrage. Besides his
radicalism he is an intolerable BLACKBOARD.
