TO THE DEMOCRACY OF COLUM-
BIA COUNTY

OLA OOON11
We, the members of the Democratic
County Committee of Columbia, upon due
consideration of the statement above pre-
sented to us, by the gentlemen whose names
are thereto signed, present the following
action, in the hope that we may hereby Sc
cure general satisfaction to the Democracy of
Columbia.
Believing that the whole statement is
based upon facts, and knowing that the rights
of Columbia cannot be maintained except
through the action of the County Committee,
in concert with the wishes of the Represen-
tative Conferees, we refer to the proceedings
of the County Convention to direct US.
By the resolution above produced, we con-
clude that the people of the county, in gen.
eral Convention assembled, by their repre-
sentative delegates, did not desire that the
representative conferees of Columbia county
should concede the nomination of the candi-
date from Montour, unless Montour county
should aid Columbia in the maintenance of
her rights to the nomination of the choice of
the Columbia Convention for State Senator.
Therefore, believing that we are acting in
accordance with the viii of the people as ex-
pressed in the resolution appointing the Rep
resentative Conferees and by and with the
concurrence OF said Conferees, we place Hon.
LEVI L. TATE before the people of the coun-
ty as the Democratic candidate for the Office
of Representative in the State Legislature,
from the district composed of Columbia and
Montour counties.

Representative.

In obedience to the wishes of the Democ-
racy of Columbia county, as expressed in
the correspondence published elsewhere, and
in vindication of their injured rights, we
deem it our duty to remove the name of
Capt Thomas Chalfant, of Montour county,
from our masthead and substitute in its
stead that of Col L. L. Tate, of Columbia
county, as our candidate for Representative,
in the District composed of the counties of
Montour and Columbia Though the neces-
sity of this action is a matter Of deep regret
on our part, as our personal and social rela-
tions with Mr.. Chalfant have ever been of
the most friendly character, yet we believe
that justice, honor and right, demands it
The correspondence explains the matter in
detail, and the people of the District are
now called upon to arbitrate the question at
the polls -Be71CicE; Gazette.

Thomas Chalfant.

Mr.. Thomas Chalfant, the gentleman who,
By certain pipe-laying arrangements, was
made candidate from this Representative
District, is out in his paper, published at
Danvlle, with an address to the people, in
which address he promises to explain to the
people of Columbia County, howit happened
that they were defrauded out of both the
Senator and Representative. This is "a
consummation devoutly to be wished. =
The Democracy Of Columbia, she being the
heaviest Democratic county in the District,
desire very much to hear this explanation.
The Standing Committee Columbia County
with the concurrence Of the Representative
Conferees have placed Hon. Levi L. late
in nomination rs the regular Democratic
nominee for Representative, and the Demo
cracy of the District win vote for him, not
withstanding the efforts of those who would
disorganize the party By their pipe-laying
schemes. Let every Democrat read what is
said on both sides of the question, and the
conclusion VIII be inevitable that the nomi-
nation belongs to Columbia County and
Hon. Levi l. Tate viii receive such a vote,
In rebuke Of this fraud, as was never before
cast In this county Let Mr.. Chalfant and
his friends go on With their explanations.

SS The Pipe-layers who have professed
to belong to the Democratic Party, and who,
by the by, had better at once acknowledge
where they do belong, that is, to the Aboi-
tionists who conduct the Columbian, are CON

ocratic authorities in the matter of Repre-
sentative. These Pipe-layers have got the
party in considerable trouble in consequence
of their entangling alliances" and the

NJ A fen silly individuals, who have
been taking our paper, have seen fit to dis
continue it since we do not think and believe
IS they do on the Legislative question. We
style those persons silly, . because a man
of sense and Of wen balanced mind would
not get quite down to such zos0 things. Do
they suppose thestopping Of fen subscrip-
tons to our paper would have anything to
do with changing the course Of its editors
IF they do, it isan erroneous idea with them.
We ask no man to think and believe as we
do, but that he should read, reflect upon,
and consider sceU what he has read, and vote
according to the dictation Of his own con-
science. This win satisfy us, andshould any
reasonable man. We might infer, that a
man who discontinues his newspaper, be-
cause thee editor chooses to support one single
principle or candidate who is not tho choice
Of the subsc riber, is unwilling to trust him
sell, fearing that he might be converted to
the editors views. This is our opinion of
the matter.

for their candidates no hospitals and camps

with them. How are you, Geary?
