At DO time in all our political experience
have lhe Spring Elections resulted so de-
cidediy 10 favor ofihe Dsmocrac Districts
that have heretofore given decided Repub-
lican nsioriiies are now puldown as having
gone Democratic and in all the counties
heard from. our vote has been LARGELY in.
creased. This is strong indication how
the Slate will go in the coming guberna,oriaI
contest !; it is the expressed sentiment ot
'ne great masses, brought out by their own
honest convictions. The people are be-
ginning 10 see the great error they have TOO
oHen committed in supporting Republicans
ior otlce, men who have carried out Aboi-
f'ionlsm and exercised tyranny over the
people 10 its farhest extent: men who
plunged us into an unnatural war, burdened
the people with taxation, and are to-day,
save the President, using their utmost pow
er to plunge the whole country into ntter
ruin. All of which is the result OF elesa;-
ing The present dominant party 10 The po-
siIion they hold. In the eyes OF many, our
country is rrerievably lost
Il is plainly to be seen that the people
are again returning 10 common sense aud
reason; that they are regretling The heavy
loss OF blood and treasure, through the mis-.
rule and reckless management of The Abo-
liiion parry, and now are, though late The
hour, ehdeavoring 10 bring The unsettled
difficulties between The Nonh and South TO
a peaceful and iaal adjustment, by the
complete overthrow of the Abolition party
By placing The rsins OF State and Nation
into the hands of the Dem ocracy. under the
rule OF which this country prospered sec
ond to no olher, The Union would soon be
restored 10 lis once prosperous conGuion
and former greatness. The Fall elections
will have much TO do with restoring the
Union. The new Congress may stand po-
litically in favor of the Constitution and
tie Union, then Stevens s. Co. would be
obliged 10 abandon their present ruinous
policy. This is the sincere hope and be-
lief Of The Democratic larty To-day A
change is working-il is bound 10 come
hey have prepared medicine Tor US that
will be forced down their own throats, and
i will work cut its cure in favor Of lhe
,onury and Democracy. Our party is in

ing from under the black, heavy cloud ;bat
has been hanging over the land for the past

again be established over the whole coun-

The kind of a Democrat Geary is

Zen bY Gen. Geary in which he announces
himself as "a life long Democrat" alien 2ls
to break the force OF that uuerance by
showing what KIDD of a Democrat this re-
doniable General is. II says:
General Geary is Democrat in the sense
defined by Webster-''0ne who adhefes to
government by the people, or IA uors The
extension Of The right Of suffrage 10 all classes
Of men.D
We cannot help admirins the boidness
with which our opponents meet the issues
in the present campaign. They not only
agree upon that part oil the platform which
commits their party TO the support OF the
radical rsvoiutionists in Congress as against
the policy OF President Johnson, but they
accept all The consequences Of The position
they have thus boldly taken Knowing
they can no longer dodge the question oil

ATTEMPTED ABORTION Lest eve

trom Sunbury to arrest a man and NO.
man named spectively, DR.. Hollorbach
and Mary Eveland. The dispatch was
signed by John B. Bird. Upon the ar,
rival of the train officer Baugh arrested
the parties and took them to the station
house, where a search was made, aad a
package OF money containing ., 100 was
found on the woman, together with q
gold watch and other valuables. She
gave her name as Mary Giliiuger, bu. it
was certain from the description given
in the dispatch from Sunbury, thar she
was the woman referred to in the same.
John P. Bind, the writer ofthe dispatch i.
arrived at an early hour this morning
and bearing was had before Mayor
Edwards.
The testimony showed that in conse-
queRce of Birds intimacy with the wo-
man she became with child. DR.. Hol-
lonbach testified that be was going to
Philadelphia 10 purchase surgical instru-
menis of which to procure an abortion
for the woman, and he also stated that
Bird and him bad arranged the matter,
and that Bird had given the womanS2, ,00g
10 proceed to Philadelphia to accomplish
this object. Bird. however, on the ad-
vice of his attorney, refused to answer
any questions, not even claiming the
money, and the Mayor was therefore
compelled to dismiss the case. We be-
lieve all the parties concerned in the case
belong to Shamokin, Northumberland
county.

Something New.

We call attention TO lhe advertiser inert OF
the Dnpex Elliptic or double Spring Skirt.
Though recent invention, it has become
very popular, and is rapidly obtaining he
preference over other kinds in use. The
rods in it are composed each OF two delicate
aud well tempered steel springs, which are
ingeniousiy braided together edge to edge,
The lower rode heavier, and having a dou-
BILE covering This peculiarly OF consruc-
ton makes this skirt verE strong and dura-
bic, and also so exceedingly flexible that it
rapidly adapis itself 10 The form OF the
wearer, and allows OF any amount OF doub-
ling aud crushing without injury to it's
shape. These skirts are unqcestiona5ly
the lighlest, most desirable, con.foIlsbIs
and economical ever made. These are
advantages which ladies', who have exre-
rIenced The discomfort and inconssnience
OF single springs, will duly appreciate.

The report that be had been waited
on by such committee. and that be
