Columbia democrat and star of the north. [volume] (Bloomsburg, Pa.) 1866-1867, 1866-10-31
Hon. VIM. EIwell.

This staunch Democrat, and accomplished
jurist, has been defeated for Congress in the
18th Congressional district We most sin
sober qualities which be would have brought
into the councils of the nation in this hour
of our country's need. The eminent talents
which he has brought to the performance of
his judicial functions, and the transformations
devotion to the public good, has made him
honored and beloved wherever he is known.
Over his whole life, intelligence, integrity
and patriotism have shed their combined
lustre. Possibly he might have been elect
ed had he rescrted to the same dishonorable
conduct which has characterized otherjudges
in this canvass. When he was placed in
nomination he was Judge; and part OF his
judicial district was part of the congress
ional district ALSO He gave notice immedi-
ately to his friends who placed him in NOM
ination, that in his judicial district he would
make no speeches, and would take no part
in the political strife. This he strictly ad-
hered to- during the canvass,-not because
Ills SICdI dIS uluculS duu leENlQ thoughts
would nor have had powerful influence
with the people: but because he believed as
all honest and pure minded jurists have done
in the past, that decent respect for them
selves, as well as desire to occupy posi-
ton for impartial judgment, should prevent
judge from dabbling in the dirty pool of
politics. Judge ElweH, though defeated,
has come out of this contest as he has come
out of other fiery trials of his life, pure
and elevated public servant. Wemost sin
cerely regret that any man who has by acci-
dent, or luck, been elevated to a seat on the
bench, should soil the judicial ermine by
playing the demagogue at school-house
meetings, or disgrace the position by ped
ding votes among the fume of whiskey and
tobacco on election day.-Herald of the
Union, Wellsboro. Pa

connected With the Democrat aud Star could
have written all the absurdity and frantic
folly contained in the last number" 1t is
true there were some plain facts published
in our last, which no doubt caused some of
the persons to whom they applied to become
frantic, y and after time, in their cooler
moments, look back, with sorrow, upon their
folly" In order to satisfy the Columbian
tribe that brother IkeIer has retired from

H0- The Radicals are very sanguine In
being able to force the South to accept the
Ramp Constitutional Amendments at the
next Session of Congress This we have
very great doubts about We hardly know
how they viii be able to accomplish this,
but in the event they fail, their plan is to
prevent the South from having any repre-
sentation in Congress, and if possible to
stove the matter off till after the election of
another President, that they (the South
may have no voice in the next Electoral
College. This they cannot do, if the Pres
ident maintains his frmness and all law
abiding and Union-loving people stand by

- Governor Swami, of Maryland, is
giving the Radicals great deal of trouble.
He is bird of their own Matching, and the
nest in which he is now brooding was the re-
suit of their own clever handiwork. His
failure to follow them in all their tortuous
paths and windings has occasioned them In
tense suffering, but it is very evident that he

s@- The high prices demanded for all the
necessaries Of life are awakening public SEN
timent in regard to this important matter.
There is no reason why prices should contin-
ne to advance, in the face of unexampled
prosperity in every department of business.
Men of moderate incomes find it difficult
matter to meet the increased rates, while
those who depend upon their daily labor for
support are scarcely able to provide the COM
mon comforts which are needed for their
families. Winter, with its Iigors, is fast ap-
preaching, and prices are going up instead
of falling as they should do. Now that the
election is over, and the patriots of the ma
ton have time enough to attend to the ac-
tual wants of the people, let prompt and
decided movement be inaugurated to lower
the scale of prices to such standard as viii
enable the poor man to secure, without en-
barrassment, the ordinary necessaries fife.

ga slander Repeated.n

The Columbian is very indignant that we
should refer TO the widespread and reitera-
ted reports Of the drunkenness of the Pres
ident and certain United States Senators.
We have only to remind the motley crowd
who surround that curiously accommodating
journal, in the Office of which was printed
that long-to-be-remembered and extraordi-
nary paper, the Campaign, the columns of
which gave Immortality to the WHIsKEY
BRIGADE, we say that we have only to re-
mind this crowd, of one or two old adages;
such as, "curscs, like chickens, come home
to roost" "peorle who live in glass houses
should not throw stones &c. We believe
that the 'sWhiskey Brigade has the abili-
ty, and we ksaoso that it has the spank, to
defend itself, and there shall be an eye for
an eye and tooth for tooth until salts
faction shall be had for the scandalous,
senseless, and useless inuendoes contained
in the Campaign. Itis true the Campaign
is dead, but Its SANDERS, and the effect of
these SANDERS upon certain members of our
community, still live.
We made no charges of drunkenness
against the President I" and some imaginary
Members Of Congress" as stated in the
Columbian; we only alluded to current re-
ports; and this was done mainly Cor the
purpose of showing the Democratic Stand
ing Committee of Columbia County, and
the numerous Democrats who had signed
the Address, asking for the nomination of
Col TATE, and who have been styled the
"Whiskey Brigade" in Mr.. Little's Cam
paign, that the "Whiskey'' force in Colum
bia County, possibly, does not stand alone
that according to current fumor there are
gentlemen in Washington, and who go to
Washington, who are as yalorous as We,
and whose countenances are not likely to
pale in the presence Of that inevitable and
veteran commander, Old Bourbon. .
