Friday, January go, 1872.
Growing Democrats.

Our organization, like Others, Is In
tested with a great many chronic fault
finders; men who groan over defeats
which they did not try to avert, or who
prophecy future disaster and sit down
to moan and await 1t. Faith in success
is always half victory and he is most
likely to achieve 1t who, without count
ing all the doubtful chances as against
him, resolutely determines to go to
work and earn it. The fact Is that the
army of GROWERS are to a party what
"bummers" are to an army. They
swell its numbers, consume its sub
stance, pick up any stray stealings, and
in fight are the first to desert to the
enemy. They, like the "bummers,"
complain of their leaders, object to dis
cipline, always demand promotion, and
betray their organization if their pri.
vate interests are benefited thereby.
Whenever we hear man cry out
about "rings," or boast of his own po-
litical purity, we feel certain that
he has been thwarted in some scheme
for personal aggrandizement, or that
the public failed to estimate him at the
value he puts upon himself.
Our object now is to warn the people
against these malcontents. 1t is the
duty Of every man protesting to be
Democrat, to buckle on his armor and
attempt to defeat the common foe and
then, If spoils be his object, let him
quarrel over them but he is traitor
to the cause who would attempts to breed
discomfort and dissension, or what is
worse, turn his arms against the friends
who trusted him. The true Democrat
always fights the battles of his organi-
zation, and is not turned aside by petty
disappointments nor by party reverses
but the greater the necessity for action
the harder he labors.
We tell you, Democrats Of Columbia
county, that in the coming contest the
Democratic party uiU ,oin. We will
carry the Legislature land with it gair
U. S. Senator)-we will win the Gov
ernor-a majority in Congressman the
President. The Republicans are disor-
ganized, whilst we are daily gaining
strength. Proper candidates and a pop
ular platform will insure us success,
and no,o is the time to close the mouths
of the political "bummers' in our own
ranks, who, while they contribute moth
ing towards the cause, constantly stall
at those who do.

ENLARGEMENT OF THE CANALS
The Pennsylvania Canal company now
controls 1868 miles of navigation-main
line from Columbia TO Holdaysburg,
l73 miles; West Branch aud Susque.
hanna division, from the junction to
Lock Haven, ia miles; Wyoming di.
vision, from Northumberland to VIII.
kes Barre, 6i miles; Wiconisco canal,
recently acquired by the company, IL
miles.
Two years ago last Fall the company
commenced to enlarge the dimensions
of its canals. The channel Is about FIVE
feet deep, twenty-eight feet wide at the
bottom and forty-four feet at waterline.
The improvements make it six feet in
depth, thirty.four feet at the bottom
and fifty.five feet across the surface of
the water. 1t is expected that the work
of increasing the width, etc, from Co.
lumbia to Wilkes.Birre will be COM
pleted by June next.
Large numbers OF workmen are now
| engaged in digging between Middletown
and Columbia, Clark's Ferry and North.
umberland and between the latter place
and Nanticoke DANA force of nearly
1000, which is being gradually increas-
ed, as laborers can be procured. The
wages paid amount to about 100000 per
| month.
Four dredging machines are used
| during the Summer, each of which is
capable of removing FIVE miles of bank
a season. The cost of one is about
$4,000.
| The intention of the company is to
make the dimensions of all the canals
alike, but this may not be consumma
ted for several years
| The company owns 3 steamboats, and
81 canal boats. The entire number on
the different lines reaches about nine
hundred, which transport in the neigh.
borhood of 1,000,0 tons of freight, such
as coal, lumber ETC., annually.
The main line and branches of the
company have 144 lift and 16 guard

burg having double chambers.
The enlargement of the Pen nsylva.
mia canal is already giving ample evil
dence of its utility in facilitating navi.
cation. Eight pairs of section boats
each couple capable of carrying safely
and expeditiously 800 tons of freight
are now plying the lower canals, where
the channel has been enlarged to the
requisite dimensions and double cham
ber locks have been introduced. Two
of these boats pass through lock to
gether, one behind the other. The ca
pacity of an ordinary boat is about 10C
tons-so it will be seen that 800 tons Of
freight can be transported almost as
cheaply as 100 under the old system OF
navigation. The water being deeper
by foot boat can be much more heav.
| lily laden, without requiring any addi'
tional horses. The capacity Of two sec-
tion boats is about fifty per cent. great,
er than that of one of the barges on the
Erie canal, which channel is considera-
| bly, wider and deeper than that of the
improved Pennsylvania. When the
enlargement has been effected on all the
lines of the Pennsylvania canal double
chamber locks will be generally erected
and section boats substituted for those
now in use

spent in examining himself with apt

could not have delivered himself OF
anything like the amount of efferves.

the army and been honorably discharg-
ed therefrom. The sections which pro.
vide for the support Of the State Militia
are as follows:
Section 81. The amount of the State
Military fund to be raised annually
shall be at the rate of one dollar for
each person on the last military enrol
ment returned by the Inspector General

first day of November in each year.
Sec. So. The Adjutant General, Audi
tor General and State Treasurer shall

Monday of December thereafter, and on
the first Monday of December of each
succeeding year, and, after estimating
the amount of the Military fund, to.
gether with the amount due from each
county, shall certify the same to the
Auditor General, to be filed in his

Sec. SO. 1t shall be the duty of the

cate is received for the year, aud on or

from their counties respectively, which
amount shall be taken into account by
said Commissioners when they make
their estimate of the probable expenses
Of their counties for the ensuing year;

poses are paid. Said amounts so levied
