THE Democratic County convention as
semoled in Williamsport, on Tuesday even
ing last, and organized by the election of
DR.. Wm. f. Logan, of Williamsport, as
President. He was assisted by DR.. Hugh
MONTGOMERY, of Clinton township, and
Jacob Snyder, Porter, as Vice President.
los. n. Gilmore, and Thos. A Greevv. of
Williamsport, and Eli McMett, of McIn-
tyre, were chosen Secretaries. After the
usual preliminary business the nominations
were commenced. There were ten candid
ates for Sheriff, (but two of them were with
drawn before ballot was had, ~ six for Pro-
thonOtary, eleven for Associate Judges,
five for District Attorney, four for Trca-
surer, eight for Commissioner, two for
Auditor, and so many ballots had to be
taken that the Convention did not conclude
its labors until three O'Clock on Wedncs-
day morning. The great contest was for
Sheriff. which resulted on the seventh bal
lot in favor of michael Kelly, whose nom
ination was demanded by the Irish Catho-
lie element in the party, over NJ. Fox, of
this place.
The Convention failed to make any no.
tice of the ''new departure by the State
Convention. They neither endorsed nor re =
jected il. To say the least of it this was
cowardly.
There is no Disgusting the fact that there
is much dissatisfaction in the ranks of the
| party with the ticket. 1t may be said of it,
what was said of the nomination of Soy-
mour and Blair in 1868, it plcases all the
Republicans and about one half of the
Democratic. .--Bupcy L,rmindrg.

DEMOCRACY AND CATIOLICIsM.-It
would be superlluous to say that the great
strength oft the Democratic party lies in the
Roman Catholic vote, which is cast for its
candidates under any and all circumstan-
ccs. And it would be equally superhuous
TO say that the Catholic element exercises
Il great power in shaping and controlling
the policy of that party. Facts are more
powerful than words, and a single instance
in which the power and influence of Catho-
licism is made manifest in the DcmOcatiC
party, will do more TO open the eyes OF the
people than columns of random assertions.
Fortunately we can point to such instance
in the Hemocratic City Executive Commit
tee of Philadelphia. a DemQcratic cam
paign paper has been started in that city
recently opposed to Catholic influence. II
is entitled the american Dcm0crut, and
from 1t we learn that the Democratic CITY
Executive Committec--a committee which,
in great measure, initiates and directs
policy ard measures of the party-is COM
posed Of S'rtclR Irish Catholics, and but
thirteen Americans and PrJtcstants. Is it
not time for all Of every Protestant sect
and for all who belong to no particular sect
to set their faces against the Increasing
political rower of the Romish church-al-
ways the enemy of ,edOm and liberal
sentimcnts-in this country ? Is not
the alliance of the Democracy with the
Jcsuits a dangerous alliance? We submit
these questions to the people for their
mature cousidCratiOn.-Utf jurq Ic'c-

TIE NORTHUMBERLAND COUNTY De-
MoCRAT, in replying to an extract ola COR
respondent, makes the following mis-state-
ment to deceive its readers in regard to
their candidate for President Judge:
The assertion, in another place, Of this
learned critic, as To Mr.. ScOtt's incompe-
tcncy, is, strange to say, directly opposite
to that of the present Chief Justice of the
state, backed by dozen of the leading
lawyers oi the Commonwealth, irrespective
of party, the bar of Schuylkil county,
where Mr.. Scott practiced, the bar OF this
county, where he resides, and if the truth
were known, the rcal opinion Of the critic
himselGn
Every one that is acquainted with Mr.,
SCOTS legal career, knows that the Demo-
crdt is cndeavoring to shamclully deceive
The public. We would like the Democrat
to point out any single endorsement OF Mr..
Scott by any Chief Justice, or any member
Of the SchuylEill county bar, or the bar OF
this county, or show where he has ever
tried 4 case in Court, or even presented Il
petition such wholesale deception can not
be crammod down the throats even of DE,
mocnts who have amy regard for truth and
honesty,

q Dis -lssscd Democrat

Mr.. Albert Il. Scholleld was nominated
for Assembly by the Democrats of one of
the Philadelphia districts. Ills success
did not suit the rowdy ring Of his party
and they have followed him so persistent
ly that he has iina 'ey withdrawn in disgust
form the contest. In withdrawing he
poura hot shot into their camps as fol-
lows:
The history Of those Who at present con-
troll the Democratic party of Philadelphia
is history OF repeated wrongs, unsurpa-
tions, and injuries. Individually | have
suffered rs much from this ignorant aud
bigutcd tyranny as any other citizen, and
the limit has been reached where iorbear-

The Democrats had an almost unbroken

and the Republicans have been in power
most of the time from 1860 to 1871. The
