tone of the Signers' is terribly at
sea as to the facts in regard to the Third
Ward contested election case. The facts
in the case are that clique composed of
both Democrats and Republicans resoly-
ed to have license council elected. They
counted noses and believed that they could
elect their man in the Second Ward. To
accomplish their purpose, the councilman
from the Third Ward must be license
man. If the voters of that Ward were
allowed to decide, it was plain that they
would fail. Consequently number of
transferred to the Third Ward day or
two before election and boarded at q GER
tain well-known house, SO as TO acquire
a residence. These men offered their
votes aud they were rejected, as they
ought to have been. All the fuss about
the rejection of those votes is not because
the Democrats lost control of the city by
the decision, but because two or three
hotels failed to secure license. In proof
of this we have only to state that certain
ones interested, offered to give the
''spoils' to the Republicans if they would
permit the seating of the Democratic
member of Council from the Third Ward.
Now, is tone of the Signers," in favor
of licensing these drinking places, and is
it his conception of Democracy that it ex-
lists principally to aid the rum interest in
getting license? And does he favor bring
ing voters from other Wards to thwart
the voice of the voters of the Third Ward
in regard to this or any other measure !?
If he does he is consistent in signing the
protest. If be is not, he has allowed him
self to be deceived as to the purpose of
this effort to GUST man legally elected

i or lflE RECORD.
A portion of the Democratic party wish
a reply to the article in the RECORD of the
23d inst, to correct Some of the unjust
destinations cast upon individuals and the
party generally; and if "us' Of the Re
publican party are stricken with surprise
at the names on the petition, some mem
bers of the party will be worse stricken
before this matter is ended, il the legal
advice that prompted to these proceedings
are sustained by the courts, and of which
assurance is given.
1t is an established fact, that from the
days of the elder Adams, Democrats have
been viliied and had opprobrous names
heaped upon them, and to be Democrat
there must be an inherent courage to sub
NIT to obloquy, but they will not submit
to oppression and wrongs.
The city of Lambertville having been
divided into Wards that would always
ensure Republican majority in Council,
notwithstanding tho Democratic vote of

there are good aud just reasons for the
Democracy to assert their rights as the
laws give TO them. II the laws are defect
i've, let them be amended; not attribute
malicious motives, or to ring in the unjust
action of a former Council on the license
question, and calling the young men,
whose votes were unlawfully rejected,
'dissolute' and "despicable fellows, " and
cease to assert that the signers of the pc
ttion belong to the ''carrion buzzards. =
As to Mr.. Wilmot, there is respect per-
sonaly, for him, but if he stands in the
way of the principles and rights now con
tended for, he must abide The consequent
ces, for there is a determination TO have
the rights of the Democratic party assert
cd and upheld.

stream issuing from a hard, metamor-
phic rock that was hot and sticky. 1t is
like stream of thick petroleum. While
engaged in examining this natural cur
iOsity he came upon two small birds
caught in the sticky substance at the
edge Of the stream. They were both
alive, but upon releasing them both the
feathers and skin came off where they
had come in contact with the bituminous
matter, so he had TO kill them to put an
end to their sufferings. No doubt they
had been taken in by the appearance of
water which the stream presented and
had alighted to drink, when they dis
severed their mistake too late.

settle upon the location Of the Federal
capital. The seat OF Government was Ia
New York; it was moved to Philadelphia,

phia, then 10 Lancaster, and afterward
TO Trenton. 1t was Accommodated for a
time at Princeton, and then taken to

on the banks Of the Potomac Hamilton

and Jefferson furnished his for the fund

on the Texas coast and near the
mouth of the Sabine river exists a phe-
nomenon known as the "The Oil Spot. "
When a tempest RACES this spot two
miles in length remains perfectly calm
and its waters perfectly still, their only
change being that they become turpid
and red, as though the oil bearing mud
were stirred up from below. A broad
belt of white foam and towering break
ers marks where the waves, rolling
shoreWard, with the force gathered in an
unbroken sweep of zoo miles across the
gulf. are suddenly arrested, and sink
down, powerless, so soon as they come
within the mysterious influence. Sail
ors who have here found refuge state
that the bottom is ofsoft, soapy mud, in
to which they can easily push a pole to
a considerable depth, a mud which,
when applied to .deek-serubbing, is
found to be exceedingly cleansing. D..
