DEMOCRATIC DEMONSTRATION IN BERWICK.
The victorious Democracy of Berwick
and suburbs met at Frcas Bros, planning
mill and formed in line for parade. Their
splendid appearance on Front street was
met with loud cheering. Col. A. d. Sccley
headed the column ms Chief Marshal and
was followed by the Berwick Cornet Band
of twenty pieces and one hundred and
twenty-five horsemen. A wagon with n
small steamboat footing several whistles
and carrying large banner was next in
line, with Grocers band of sixteen pieces
following Then about two hun dred men
carrying torches, banners and red lights,
accompanied by the Wapwallopen band Of
fifteen pieces, twenty vehicles, with sever
al other different attractions. The maj
rty of houses were handsomely illumisat-
ed and the streets were almost one glare of
red light. Reports from two cannon were
constantly heard, and every thing passed
off with scarcely any disturbance.

Feeling that some apology is due our
friends from Bloom, rs well rs other por-
tions Of this county and Luzerne, who did

ocratic Jubilee on Friday, November 14tb,
in Berwick, for the rudeness and ruffianly

tion OF the Republican party Of this town,
and not repudiated, we regret to say, as
far rs we can learn, by any considerable
number Of the other portion.
We do most sincerely apologize for hav.
ing subjected them, by invitation, to the
insults, jeers and venomous speech Of the
drunken mob, who did what they could,
but failed, thank God, to incite riot, bring
about bloodshed, and forever disgrace the
good name which this town and communi-
ty has heretofore deservedly borne.
The Democrats, as was no doubt observ-
| ed by our friends from abroad, were dis.
Greet, patient and very forbearing, and
this commendable spirit was mistaken by
the cowsrdly rabble as an evidence of tim
| idity, which emboldened the skulking as
| sassns to throw stones under cover OF the
darkness, in one instance seriously wound
| ing an inoifensive man in the ranks, jus.
missing or grazing others at whom boul-
ders were hurled on different streets. 1t
was, indeed, burning shame and dis
grace, We are deeply humiliated, that OF
all towns in this State it should have been
| loft To I'll, L. -.
tion has been the pride and boast of its Cit
liens, to drink this bitter cup, and be re-
ferred to hereafter, as that narrow-minded
bigoted, proscriptivo community, which
adopts methods to suppress political op-
ponents, which have been rightly condemn
ed by honorable men, whether practiced in
the South, North, East or West.

and operated it for a number Of years, and
