THE DEMOCRATIC CAUCUs-DIsGRACEFU
ScENEs.-The Democratic caucus for the
nomination of candidate for Assembly in
this (the First District was held on Saturday
last. In this city it was conducted in most
lisgraceful manner. Votes were openly bought
and sold and men who hold respectable posi-
tions in society lent their aid to these dishon-
orable proceedings. The day was spent by
large numbers in drunken carousal, the
whisl<ey having been furnished freely. More
drunken men were seen in our streets than
ever before in the recollection of our people,
and at night the saturnalia eliminated in sew
eral fights among the Faithful
Two gentlemen from New York City who
were here, said they had seen political cleo
pioneering operations at the lowest polling
places in that city, but this Democratic caucus
out-dd all. Tickets were handed out with
money folded up in them, men were offered
money to work and vote, and at last so bold
did they become that it was proclaimed,
"Whoever votes Voorhees, ticket gets fifty
cents ~ Is that the price of a Democratic
vote? Yet many were bought at from fifty
cents to ten dollars each Known Republi-
cans were allowed to VOTE and every trick re-
sorted to by the opposing parties to win. If
anything the Voorhees, faction out-did the
Mathews party in their outrageous proceedings
against honesty and decency. We hear that
some of those engaged are heartily ashamed
of their actions by this time. They have need
to be. Heavy penalties are denounced by the
statute against those who corrupt the ballot
by bribery, &c. ; and is it any less crime
to corrupt the sources of nominating power?
1t is now for the people of this District to
show their condemnation of man nominated
by such base means. We trust the Republi-
can Convention on Thursday may nominate a
man of such character that no decent person
need hesitate which to vote for.

ES- One day last week we stopped at the
truck patch of Mr. Isaac Clevenger on Union
street, below Swan street, and were surprised
at the amount of vegetables, etc.. raised by
him on such small piece Of ground. Mr.. G.
has proved beyond doubt that as fine vege-
tables can be raised in this part of the State
as in any other, and all that is required is
proper attention. He was busily engaged in
making preparations for bedding celery plants.
Our citizens win know where to find plenty of
good celery for Thanksgiving and Christ
mas.

encouragement to these gentlemen to come

Cor. FREEsE TO THE RESCUE The Liberal
Republicans and Democrats, Voorhees, and
anti-V Voorhees,, Mathews and anti Mathews
Wednesday evening last, in John Corson's
stable yard. The audience was not very large,
owing no doubt to the fact that the perform
ance had not been announced more than a
week. The programme consisted of speaking,
and music by Carpenters Comet Band, the
music being the principal feature of the eve-
ming. The stage was handsomely decorated
with an American flag, two Chinese lanterns
and one old torch-light The speaker of the
evening was j. r. Freese DIETER known as
Jerusalem Freese), of Trenton, N. j., who
recently wrote, with the scissors, book OF
travels in Palestine. The illustrious stranger,
who is ssLiberal" talked to the audience
for one hour, but many soon got .sufficien-
cy" and left. The double-dyed, however,
stood firm, excepting that, now and then, a
stray picket would quietly steal away" to
the bar, and indulge in little stimulant. 1t
would be impossible to give Freese's speech
in full, but we will give some few extracts.
Speaking of reconciliation, he said, "he did
not believe there was one in the vast assembly
who did not feel willing to allow the South to
come back into the Union. Nearly seven years
have passed since the close of the war; and
the South was still knocking at the door to
be admitted" This fact seemed to astonish
the natives, Cor they were under the impress
sion that the South was in the Union again
and had been for some time. Freese impressed
upon them the fact that if the South was not
admitted soon, it would damage the interests
of the State of New Jersey. The machine
shops, cotton mills factories, paper mills, &C.,
would all be closed, and the poor man would
suffer untold miseries He Their spoke about
'Sore-heads, " stating that he could not be
called one as he had never asked for an office
and had never recommended any one else for
one, and consequently he had nothing to be
sore about. He forgot to mention the fact
that the State printing had not been distribut-
ed to suit his wishes. He said that Grant was
the greatest General that the world had ever
seen, and that if he was going to vote for a
General, Grant should receive his support. He
said in a few moments afterward, that Grant
had received his education at West Point, and
consequently did not know anything but what
related to military tactics. Oh Jerusalem
how could you Every intelligent man knows
that the course at West Point is equal to our
colleges, with the exception of the classics.
Greeley, he said, was an honest man, and that
was the reason why he would support him.
to Office /; notwithstanding the fact that some
of the worst appointments of Grants admins
tration were made on Greeley's recommends
zion. He said he felt confident of success and
told his hearers to be sure and be at the polls
on election day, for if the Democrats and Lib
eral Republicans all staid away from the polls,
Grant would surely be elected Quite likely.
Altogether the speech was not what the " De-
mocracy " expected.

EXCITEMENT AT NEW HoPE.-On Monday
afternoon last quite an excitement was caused
in New Hope, by the report that man was
murdered about a mile from the place, near
what is known as Rabbit Run" A large
number of people visited the locality, and we
learn from one of them the following particu-
lars 1T appears that two boatmen, one Ger
Irishman finding that he could not pass the
German, "got his back up and commenced
to throw stones. Not being able to hit his
man, he determined to get on board and take
charge of the Germans boat himself; but
Germany made up his mind that g that little
game was played out, y and told Mickey that
if he came on his boat, he would ''put head
on him. But Mickey would not STOP and
was about climbing on when the Dutchman
struck him on the head with the tiller and
knocked him into the canal. Finding that he
had hurt the Irishman worse than he expect
ed, and seeing that he did not make an effort
to save himself, the Dutchman jumped in and
drew him on the canal bank, where he remain
ed about two hours, insensible. The Dutch
man went to New Hope and gave himself up
to the police, thinking that he had murdered
the Irishman. Dr. Fouke was called and the
wound was dressed, it being large cash across
the skull. This morning the lrishman was
better, and said that as it was all his own
fault--he being drunk at the time-he would
not appear against the German, who, conse-
quently, was discharged, and went on his way
rejoicing.

rS According to the official vote of Bucks
county, Pa, at the recent election, ]. NJ.
Purdy, of New Hope, was elected Sheriff by
ninety-four majority. 1t will therefore be
seen that if the New Hope Republicans had
all done their duty and voted the whole ticket,
instead of fifty of them voting for Purdy, the
Republican candidate would have been elected.
Their conduct is the more inexcusable, as
Jamison is by far the best man of the two.
