for every measure that was calculated to
elevate the negro, and take money out Of
your pockets for that purpose2 lie voted
to give the negro the right to sit in the jury

The Wyoming Democrat gives our candi-

"Col. Victor j. Piollet, who has the
unanimous voice of Wyoming county, and
we believe Of the District, is a man 50 well
and lavorably known in pcnnsylvapia, that
nothing that We might sayiof him would
add to the esteem in which, he is held by his
most intimate friends and acquaintances in
this District. As farmer, as protector,
contractor and builder Of great public i'm
provements, and as a legislator, he has
shown himself to be the peer of the ablest
in the country. As AN intelligent, though
unassuming citizen-farmer he ranks above
all. The door of his hospitable house has
never been closed to any honest man. His
hand and purse have always been open to
the appeals Of the poor and unfortunate
While he has been o most jealous aud nc.
tive participant in great public affairs he
has never nt any time neglected the small
codrtesies of life-thc local neighburhood
affairs, which have made his township, and
neighborhood model one in his county.
The people of the whole District, with a
unanimity never before felt now look to
him as one of their deliverers from the fa-
naticism and corruption which have, pre-
vailed in the councils of the nation. lie
has proved to be pure, incorruptible and
sagacious leader. The day Of the triumph
Of truth and right over falschood and injis-
tice, is drawing near. Let pthe masses be
true to themselves and their country's best
interests, and we cann6t doubt that the re.

long brewing, seem about to eliminate in a
civil war. late accounts inform us that the
Spanish navy, with the chief Admiral at its
head has declared against the Queen. This
war, if it should come, may embroil the
whole of western Europe. The cause of the

IT WANTS A SECOND,

The recent attempt on the part of one OF
the Camp street papers to revive the agi-
tation relative to star cars has fortunately
resulted in failure. The motion seems to
lack second. 1t is true, another Demo-
cratic paper family echoed the request
some time after it was first sug-
gested, but in such hesitating way that
no one was impressed with its sincerity.
The Democratic Convention has wisely
squelched The attempt to revive an old
sore, and we shall expect our good De-
mocratic friends 10 bow to the "will of
the people, as explained by that
august tribunal. 1t was merely
put forth as a bid for certain
kind of popularity, at time when there
were already sufficient exciting causes
ahoat, with hope of iuteusiiying party
rancor, and had no other effect than to
cause one or two rowdies to eject peacea-
BILE people from the cars on their own re-
sponsibility as "citizens."
We reler to this matter as a gratifying
change from the olden time, when such a
suggestion would have been sufficient to
set idiers and amateur reformers to work
regulating" the customs, habits and rules
OF action of the people. The riotous refuse
to dance when the agitators pine.

The reassembling Of this conelave OF dis
appointed politicians seems to have re-
suited in a iizzle. The party does not seem
to have quite recovered from the stunning
effects of the blows dealt them
on the third instant and appear TO be rather
cropping for a policy. The old magnates
are disposed to go slew and question a
little their power TO overturn actually ex-
isting governments. The young and lusty
