Little and the Campaign.

1t would be amusing, if it were not vexa-
tious, to see how earnestly Mr.. Little, in the
Pipe-layers' paper, the Campaign, labors
in the interests of Montour Of course,
there is no bad feeling here against Montour,
and all that we say is, that having cordially
agreed that Montour should have one mem
Der of the General Assembly, and she hav-
ing agreed that Columbia should have the
other member, which arrangement was cooly
repudiated by Mr. Chalfant and his especial
friends, and by INSCRIPTIONS politicians
here, that the Democracy Of neitIer Column
bia nor Nontour ,ciU standd The Standing
Committee and the Conferees have placed
Colonel Tate in nomination, and the Democ-
racy Will elect him.

Old Wiunebapo.

Some scribbler in the Campaign tells the
readers of that little paper that SIMON CAM
ERoN is candidate for United States Sen
ator. Bless his poor simple soul, this is not
news to any person. Mr. CAMERON is a
candidate, and has been for the past four
years. In the mean time stood one defeat
by Hon. c. r. BUCKALEw. He was in bet
ter standing in his own partyat that day than
he is now, and could not then, with all his
attempts at corruption, be elected. That
" all Republican candidates are for him. is
simply false; and the writer who makes
such an assertion, either knows nothing
about what he is writing, or else has no re
gard for his reputation as to truth Demo
Gratis, beware of candidates for Assembly
who are supported by fsby Democrats and
johnson men. for SIMON will wig-wag them.
They are the men who have abandoned all
principle for what-tte Loares and fishes
and their motto is "rule or ruin. ~

The Democracy Abused by the
Pipe-layers.

The new half-sheet, called the Cdmpdi1s,
published in the interests of the Pipe-layers,
who want to break down the Democratic par
ty of the county, has betrayed itself in many
respects that is, it has shown that it favors
the ancient enemy, to wit, the Abohtionists
The editor and proprietors of this new anti
democratic sheet, can, of course, publish a
paper in the interest of the Abolitionists if
they please, but we shall take pains to keep
the Democracy informed in regard to their
true position, SO that no one viii be mislead.
The small crowd that manage this new con-
cerD, in their extreme zeal to advocate the
claims of the Abolitionists, in a quiet way.
have forgotten that they will make nothing.
by abusing, in scandalous language, the
great Democratic party of the County. In
the last issue Of this new halfabolition sheet.
the Democracy of Columbia county, who
put Col. Tate in nomination, are styled the
WHISKEY BRIGADE" What insult !
Shall this new-fangled, half-abolition, Her
cUridt sheet, be thus allowed to insult the
Democracy of the Star County of the North?
Shall these new men, who have started a
new paper, in the interests of leading Abo-
litionists, be thus permitted to insult the
Democracy Of the County? As a piece of
presumption, to call the Democratic Stand
ing Committee of Columbia county, and
the Representative Conferees, and the hun
dreds of respectable gentlemen whose names
are affixed to the document setting forth the
reasons why Col. Tate was the regular nom
inee for Representative this piece of pre-
sumption, to say nothing of the insult offer
ed to the Democracy in general past
comprehension. And this insult will not
soon be forgotten. Why it is that these
men, who have started this new paper,
should have considered it necessary to thus
villainously abuse the Democratic authori-
ties of the County, as well as the large num-
Der of Democrats who signed the call, which
number might have been immensely increas-
ed if the pains to obtain their names had
been taken, why it is that the Democratic
Standing Committee of the County, and the
whole party are thus insulted, can be ex-
planned only in one way The aelc paper
men are IN the interests Of the AboEitionists
This, Democrats, explains the mystery
Stand true to yourselves, and to the inter-
ests of your county Remember the words
of Washington as to 'entangling alliances. :"

Danviile AGENTS.

+" nat ponucal campaign for the past five
or six years, or at least within our recollec-
tion,- did Peter Ent, Stephen Miller, Tor any
one OF that party who are at present hard
at work for the candidate from Montour for
Assembly, take as active part in as they
are doing In the present campaign? Here
tofore they were the very persons to lay at
home, attending to their own private bust
ness, and leave all the hard work to be borne
by other men. They never attended school
house meeting unless it was held in their inn
mediate neighborhood, and not then until
they were 'drummed OUT by others more
jealous in the cause of Democracy. But
this Fall, since they have been secretly work
ing all Summer with the worst enemies of
the Democratic party, they can print cam
paign paper, hire horses, peddle papers,
attend every meeting in the county, even
those in the most remote parts, where, at
other times, they could not be persuaded to
dtteadi Now, why is this? What causes
them to arouse from their long lethargic
sleep? Is it because they feel such deep
interest in the success of the Democratic
party? Nol not bit of it. A few years
ago, had it not been for such men as are
found upon our Ticket, the Democratic par
ty Of this County would have been destroy
ed. Its organization was only maintained
by the bold and fearless men of our party
the men who dared speak out-men who
dared print a democratic paper, and men
who dared allow democratic newspapers be
read in their places of business.
1t can't be that these men have such a
deep interest in the harmony and success of
the Democratic party that causes them to
thus spend their time and money IF that
is the case, why did they not manifest such
a feeling years ago, when our party needed
some bracing up at time, too, when every
power on earth was arrayed against that
party? Then they, like rats, deserted the
sinking ship, as they choose to call it.
These men talk about their Democracy
0, shame where is thy blush 1t is clearly
understood, at least by all who know these
parties, that it is not for the cause of Democ-
racy they laboring. If it was, they would
have had the democratic harness on, and
ready to help sustain the party, in all past
campaigns. The secret is, they are DanriUe
Agents, and who knows but that they are
in the interest of SIMON CAMERON
They are the only set of men that pretend
to be informed as to the Winnebago's where
abouts. They are spending naoney-aeor7s
ing hard-.Jor the success Of Capt. Chdyant.
When there was no money in the campaign
these men did not work-wasn't democratic
but in the present contest they are working
ike beavers, and the natural inference is,
they are paid!

and Conferees, have set up candidate of
their own. The writer of the article in the
Campaign himself was well aware that
the dissatisfaction was entirely in his own
clique, and that they overturned and by
fraud made void a conditional nomination
by actually preventing, through intrigue
with Montour clique, the performance of
the condition There was no belt needed,
because no candidate was in the field, and
the only thing to be done was to make
nomination.

little duties that have heretofore devolved
upon election boards. AS the accused has a
right, guaranteed by the constitution, to be
defended by COUNSEL it might be advisable
in this connection to considerhow many cases
could be tried within the hours limited by
the law, under the most rapid mode of ad-
ministering justice recognizedin our criminal
jurisprudence; but as desire to be brief, 1
waive this inquiry, and state briefly the con-
clusion to which l have arrived-namely
l. That if duly authenticated record of
the trial and conviction by Court Martial
of any person who may offer his vote at any
election shall be produced before the officers
conducting such election, and such record
shall show the approval of the finding and
sentence of such court by the President or
the Secretary of War, or Navy, as the case
may be, it will be the duty of such election
board to reject such vote.
2. That for the conviction and sentence
of such court there can be 10 substitute. :"
1t JoHolcs that the rejection Of anyuote upon
this ground Of challenge IN tie absence OF
SuCt TeCOiU eCtncHCe " Ittt UItO CO'tCtCtJOH
Uould be unlowtd
In view of the grave responsibilities, civil
as well as criminal, incurred by election Off
GERS through the unlawful denial of the right
of suffrage, as Well as of the penalties threat
ened by the recent legislation for the recep-
ton of votes of persons therein specified, l
have deemed this question one of too great
importance to be lightly considered, or to be
viewed from mere partisan stand point,
and have therefore given to it such careful
examination and consideration as have been
able to bestow. For myself, Ihave no doubt
of the correctness of the conclusion above
stated
I may add that in the absence of record
evidence oftrial and conviction by court mar
tial of the offense Of desertion, there is no
safer guide for election officers in the per-
formance of their duties then that afforded
by the Constitution and general election laws
ofthis Commonwealth, with which they have
long been familiar.

The Campaignites.

The men who have control of the Cam
pGign would have the honest people of Co
umbia County believe that they were the
only true, simon-pure Democrats in the
county and that they are the only men ca
pable to give advice as to what candidates
should be supported for Office. Well, Dem
ocrats, if these men are competent to be
your guides no,0, at time when we live in
comparative peace, why were they not COM
petent to direct and control our affairs when
we were living in 1Cdr times ? Then they
were unwilling to be spoken to or of as Dem
ocrats; they would not, at that time, per-
NIT Democratic newspapers to be read in
their stores, nor allow Democratic hand-bills
place in their establishments. Now, these
are facts and can be substantiated by num-
bers of prominent and respectable citizens.
Yet these same weak-kneed, milk and water
Democrats would undertake to talk to the
Democratic party noao and ask that party to
sustain them and their candidates VIII
the Democratic party place anyconfdence in
these men nO'0 ? At time when good
counsel would have been acceptable, these
men, fearing, probably, that anything that
they might advise, would not be profitable,
they deserted the Democratic party, hid in
their houses, endeavored to have Constitu-
tons of Democratic Clubs destroyed, forbid
people reading Democratic papers in their
places of business, and manifested the weak
ness of old women rather than the courage
of strong men,

&c But he fails 70 bring home the ''lie -
just as he failed to redeem his published
pledge to meet the people of Columbia and
explain how it was that he and his manag-
ing Pipe-layers cheated Columbia county out

evidence Of the weakness of their cause.

selves highly complimented by this astute

they viii appreciate the compliment in
manner desired by the party that gave the

Chalfant on Figures.

We observe by late issue of the Danville
hnteNigencer, that Captain Chalfant has as
serted that Montour county gave Colonel
Tate larger vote, when he was elected to
the Legislature in 1861, than he received in
Columbia county. This is simply one of the
'Roorbacks," which go into the Danville
and Bloomsbury Campaigns" In that
election, the vote stood for Mr. Tate:
In Columbia county. 9, 500 votes.
In Montour .............l ,162
Columbia giving Colonel Tate...l ,407 major
ity over Montour
Here are the facts and figures which will
not he VIII Mr. Chalfant correct the as
sertion and tell his readers that the Democ-
racy of Columbia then gave Mr. Tate more
than TWO to one over Montour2 Well see.
