a Rome! a Rome :!

This was the cry three years ago, and GER
tain Democrats, in whom we had more faith,
became weak-kneed They privately ex-
pressed deep indignation at the wrongs they
themselves, as well as their friends were
suffering, and vowed that they would wait
fog the day of vengeance. But where do
we fnd these weak brethren now? With
shame be It said and it is in spirit of deep
humiliation that we say it, they are acting
with the very men who spit upon them in
that time Of trial
Democrats of Columbia, you who are true
to yourselves, and to the time-honored prin-
ciples of your party, and who nerer, no mat
ter how fierce may be the onslaughts upon
your party and your principles, desert either
the one or the other, haze nothing to do
acitb these trucking meul Such men as
Hester Clymcr, Judge Elwell, Col. Levi i.
Tate, and others on the Democratic Ticket,

cratic Ciub Records, for faar hey might be
sent to Fort Hit}in, are the men to be sup

A Democratic meeting was held In Main
vile on Tuseday evening of last week 1t
was addressed by Gen. w. III. Ent, Col L.
i. Tate, and E. r. Ikeler, Esq.
On "Wednesday afternoon last, the Democ-
racy of Locust and adjoining townships, held
a meeting at Slabtown, which was well at
tended. Speeches were made by Coils. Tate
and Freeze, and Capt Chalfant and Joseph
H. Campbell, ESQ
On Thursday evening last, large and re-
spectacle meeting of the Democracy was

On Saturday evening last the "Demo,,
cratic Club, " of this place, was addressed
bv Col. JOHN g. FREEZE, IN lengthy and
argumenfative speech. He made some very
strong points on the Radicals, making them
squirm in every corner within the sound of
his voice.

Radical Meeting.

The Radical Doc. John party held what
they called MdSs Meeting in this place on
Thursday last Those large delegations that
were expected to come In, from nearly every
township, did not make their appearance.
The crowd was estimated, during the day,
at from t,Co to three hundred. In the eve
ming the Geary Club, from Danville, ar
rived upon a special train. This Club"
was quite an acquisition, in point of num-
bers, to the meeting The meeting was or
ganized in Market Square, in the afternoon,
and addressed by General Fairman, of New
phia. In the evening w w. Ketchum, of
Wilkesbarre, harrangued the crowd. He
entertained the wooly-heads to their general
satisfaction, upon issues chiefly foreign to
the campaign. The oil-lamps and Brass
Band were the only objects of attraction be-
longing to the whole affair. They reminded
US Of the " Wide-Awakes" that threw the
country In such fever in 1860, when they
elected Lincoln, to inaugurate bloody and
unnecessary war. This party caused the
country heap Of trouble, and they are not
satisfied with what they have done, but de-
sire to be kept In power, to further disturb
and distract the affairs Of our country. The
Radicals want TO lnaugurate another war, to
do which, they hardly know how. If they
should succeed in electing their nominees to
Congress, and thus hold two-thirds vote,
the first step taken by them on convening,
will be to impeach Andrew johnson. This
may be expected The people should I'M
derstand this, and vote against the Radicals
il every District MERCUR would vote to
impeach the President

swear loudly that if l should be elected to
the Legislature, | viii certainly widen Mar
ket Street, and that too, at the expense of
the taxpayers of Columbia County. And
in reply to all their speculations upon that
subject, including the assertion that Judge
Oakes once had letter from me on the
matter, I need only say, that letters were
signed by myself, John g. Freeze and 9TH
ers, years ago, to Oakes and jackson, but
never was it then thought or supposed by
either of us, or even the Members them
selves, until the bill had passed the House
of Representatives, that it was to be at the
expense of the taxpayers of Columbia
county. I defy the world to prove that l
ever was in favor of having it done, at the
expense of the people, of whom | am one,
and would, of course, have had to pay my
share of an expense in which [ never had
one cent of interest. | have since served in
the Legislature and if so disposed, could
have attempted to pe'Jure myself, iaj~e my
friends and pay largely to help my enemies
to cheat the public.
L am also on record, over my OWN sigma
ture, before and since, that it shall never be
done at the expense of the people, while /
live, whether in or out of the Legislature.
l therefore say, after this explanation Of
the matter, that I als0oys have been opposed
to widening said Street, at the public erpense,
and he who again attempts to impugn my
honestyis either KNAvE or a FOOL.
Finally, People of Columbia and Montour,
when go to the Legislature, it viii be to
represent your interests again, as on form
er occasion, with honesty and fidelity, to
maintain the integrity of the Union and the
support of the Constitutions of the State and
Nation in letter and spirit

EDITORS Look UP.-We are very much
gratifed to see that the Democracy of the
old keystone State, in many counties, are
recognizing the claims of those who stand
the brunt and heat Of every political battle
we mean the Editors of their newspapers.
AS proof of this we notice thatJ. Lawrence
Getz, of the Reading Gazette, is nominated
for Congress, in Berks county Levi i.
Tate, late of the Columbia Democrat is
nominated for the Assembly, in Columbia
and Montour; B. +. Myers, of the Bedford
Gazette, is nominated for State Senator, in
the Bedford district; H. c. Heyser, of the
Valley Spirit, is nominated for Prothonotary
in Franklin county. This is as it should be
no set of men work harder for their party
and get more abuse and less pay.

ScARED.-The remarks of the Radical
presses about the Philadelphia Convention
certainly indicate great dread on their part
of its effects on their party. The Conven-
ton simply made an appeal to the good sense
and patriotism of the people. Is the appeal
founded in justice and proper appreciation
of our political system? If it is, it viii hurt
nobody but those who want to steal power
for unlawful purposes. This latter class, ike
the robbers of graves, are scared at the rust
ling of leaf, or their own hideous shadows.
