In the midst OF all our political troubles we
are reoicrd to find determination on the part
of the Democracy TO achieve at least one great
victory this year. The masses of the people
all over the State are becoming fully impressed
with the excelences ofthe Gubernaorial STAN
dard bearer OF the Democracy, HENRY D. Fos-
TER, and are gathering enthusiastically TO his
support Mr. CURTIN, the candidate o: the op-
position, has been congralulatiDg himself for
some time past that in the coming contest he
will have everything his own way-Indeed that
his election IS an inevitable and certain event.
Tn this assumed security he will find himself
egreglously mistaken. The people CT PenHsyl-
vania recognize in HENRY d. Foster one of the
most eminent and useful public men within her
boundaries. man of unimpeachable 'ntegri-
ty, high toned generous nature, and the pos
SCISSOR OF high intellectual gifts amply qualify

to which The people can elevate him. Mr..

conscious of its weakness, finds no word against
the purity of his character, and the high con-

act of his political lie Such man as HENRY
d. FOSTER the people should, and will, delight
to honor 10 the hands of such man the du-
ties of the GubrrnatoriaI chair will be admin

no venal and corrupt politicians as his counsel
ors nor Will he attach his name TO an act Of
legislation which does not bear unmstakable
marks of protection and advancement of the
great interests of the whole people.


Let us therefore prepare earnestly and eflec-

CRY PRINTTNG.-The Council last night
opened the bids for the city printing, for
which they had advertised, and it was found
that the NATIONAL DEMOCRAT was the lowest
bidder Previous to the opening of the bids
resolution was unanimously passed, to the
effect that the bids should be opened and the
contract awarded to the lowest bidder In
the face ofthis resolution, the Council insult
ed the three papers by directing that their
bids be handed back to them


The whole amount Of it is, that the Coun-
ell thinks the city printing ought to he done
for nothing. So far as we of the DEMOCRAT
are concerned, we think the printer like
every other lahorer. is worthy Of his hire.

known, and Douglas, Bell and Lincoln
men united in giving cheer upon cheer,
and such rush to greet him that he
could hardly get out of the crowd with
whole bones. He appeared very anxious
to know how his associates cn the county
ticket got along, caring more for those re-
turns than for the telegraph;c dispatches
which came pouring in from every quarter
OF the Free States. In the evening, the
patriotic ladies had got up warm supper,
with coffee, &C., for the comfort of those
who had been on duty all day. This was
a thronged place, and Mr.. and Mrs. Lin
coin made it additionally joyful as good
news kept coming in until all hands
thought best to adjourn.

The conduct Of Mr. Curtis Of Iowa, the Chair
man of the special committee on the Pacific Rail
road bill in the House Of Representatives, has
been very singular, to say the least Of it. On
Thursday last he offered aresoluton for the post
ponement Of the bill until the next session--and
the resolution was adopted. His alleged excuse
for this that there was not sufficient time for

New, this movement will subject Mr.. Curtis TO q
suspicion Of being lacking in either good faith or
in good sense, one or the other. He il either
opposed te the provision for having Southern

the Southern route by killing the bll-or, else, he

motive Of Mr.. Curtis conduct.


II members have time to dscuss the slavery
question, until it is worn as tlreadbare as beg

legitimate legislative duties. If they have time to
make speeches in behalf of the election Of this or

the potatoes thoroughly dry, and all defective
ones sorted over, and with careful handling

As the Spring remembers EARTH
Spreading roses in our pathway,


Filling all our hearts with mirth.

Where our journey first begun,

And every morning sun we meet

When our youth Is half forgotten,


And we gaze, with yearnings fond
From world where all are dying


To a deathless world beyond,

We perceive that the Legislature. without
consulting the Council of this city. have
changed the City Charter in several very
material respects. The duties Of the Marshal
have been increased without, we believe, in
creasing his salary. which is well enough.
The salary of the Recorder has been reduced,
which is also we'll enough. The City Attor-
neys office has been abolished. This was
unwise We think it ought to have been
continued. but with only moderate salary.
Give City Attorney $500 n year. and it is
likely that he would do service for the city
which an ordinary lawyer would charge a
thousand dollars for. lie could be consulted
at any time by the Judiciary Committee in
regard to little questions of law which FIRE
quently arise in matters referred to them by
the Council, and he could advise the city in
various matters which frequently arise from
time to time. To go and hunt up lawyer
and ask his advice in all such cases as these
would be to involve the city in a heavy ex-
pense, when it came finally to be footed up.
