In view Of the recent great disappoint-
msnt to the people Of the country, in
duced BY the action and decision of the
Electoral Tribunal" in Counting out'
Tilden, the President elect; and the
counting in.' OF Rutherford B. HAYES,
the representative of the minority,e, We
over in poor Muhlcnberg. feel deep anx-
iety. to understand the outstart, in politi-
cal action, looking to the formation Of the
Status Of Democracy" in the struggle to
ensue, and by which. we are to array, the
actual force, and power, Of that party,
which has survived 60 many severe strug
giles in political and partisan contests, as
well as, Revolution, ITSELF add to which
IN our opinion, we can alone look for
hope. 1t is useless for US az party,
now, to attempt to arraign the represent
tatives Of the people. for what seems to
have more q miscouception OF the SUR
roundings, than otherwise, and not at
tempt to brand our leaders, aud chosen
representative. with want of patriotism,
and general fidelity to principle Such
course is unwise, and tends 10 disorgani>
zation. Let's look to the honesty and
devotion Of the people in their efforts, to
secure return to correct thought, to pure
and good government. and to the time,
when We shall live above the effect Of
partisan misrule, aud shall be fully re-
stored to all the blessings of free people,
controlled by the wholesome spirit of a
generous law enforced by the means pre-
scribed by the Constitution.
Well, as {he season approaches for
active work, We are disposed to inquire
after the Senatorial" prospects, and
who the rising spirits are. and who is
most formidable. Monday last, 1.-THE
l6th) was the first day OF our Circuit
Court, and the town was filled with our
clever, hardy, citizens. healthy, and hope
full ofrelief from ''pecuniary" oppression,
and especially such as have arisen from
an attachment to a Railroad" enterprise
and their genial and pleasant plain style
of greeting, was to some extent. sought
by gentlemen protesting to represent
them, in the different branches Of the
next General Assembly" We bad with
US that very pleasant and estimable gen.
tlemen from Butler county, Judge Thos
c. Carson, and your own, amiable and
gifted fellow-citizen aud lawyer, Hon.
Sam E. Hill, candidate for the Senate
The afternoon was occupied by the differ
ent candidates. in speeches of announce,
ment &c. Our court house was crowded
and the stand 6lled-frst, by Mr.. Hill,
who entertained the people for an hour.
with speech Of much interest, and
making by the way, some good hits at
his friend, Judge Carson, and concluded
"ith manly appeal to the Democratic
party, to stand by their color, maintain
ing the true Jaith. Judge Carson. next
addressed the people. in what was merely
an announcement OF his candidacy.-both
gentlemen pledging themselves to abide
the action Of the Democratic Convention
of the District. At the close Of Judge
Carson's speech Hon. B. l. D. Gufy. of
Butler county. was called for, and said &c
the people that he was no candidate
that he didn't want to go TO the Senate,
but wished to tell them some truths upon
the subject of Finances" and which he
proceeded to do, and doubtless did so,
satisfactorily TO himseG. We like the
Judge, but fear his constance. Which he
had finished, Mr.. Hill took the stand
again, amid the shouts of the crowd, aud
in a few minutes, completely put to
flight the friends of Judge Guffey's sys
ten, as well as, showing the fallacy Of
the proposition of friend Guffy. touching
pleasantly that dominant feature in
the Judges character, which 30 much
resembles the jerosH. and how ready, he
used the shorsl, when it was not his f,ne-
raj AL, in all. Mr.. Hill made favcrs-
BILE impression upon our people. and in
the absence of an aspirant from Muhlen>
berg for the position, am Inclined to
the opinion that our county would ia
vor Mr.. Hill, in other words. he would
be Muhlenberg's second choice. We
desire it understood that we belong to
KSatucky's. unterrifed, obeying the dc
tates of conscience, void OF political Of
tense and loving the interest OF the
whole country, seek to protect it by
sustaining the advice of good and pure
men who uphold the law.
