FLUKE, Sheriff. August 31, 1800. KI;I:R IT BEFORE TII E PEOPLE, 1 bat while Henry D. lriister was a member of the Legislature of Pennsylvania, he served as Chairman of Committee of Ways and Means, in which position his indolence and neglect of duty invoked for him the rebuke of his fellow members, while he only escaped the centure of the Speaker by the fiual adjournment of the lluuse Is such a man fit to be invested with the duties and responsibilities of the Executive of Pennsylvania} That while Jjleury D. Foster was a member of the nationyouso of Representatives, he voted with the extreme men of £be South, on the subjects really affeotiug the interests of white labor—supporting the doctrine of popu lar sovereignty to earrv ou the slave labor in vasiou of free territory, aud advance the in terests of bis organization. h such a mun entitled to the reputation of statesmanship which his supporters claim for him ? ' That Henry D. Foster is committed is one sectiou of the &tate to ihe slave code doctrine and free trade interests of Breckinridge, while in another he avows an adbereuce to the prin ciples of that popular sovereignty which reckless whether slavery is "voted down or voted up"—enfranchising the masses while it centers power to annul the actions of their representatives iu the veto of an Executive, or confides the construction of their laws to the prejudices of a judiciary dependent on the favor of patronage for their creatiou and ex isteuce. h such a mun entitled to the support of free men who are really jealous oj power conjer red by the franchise ? That while Henry D.Foster was a candidate fcr Congress in 1858, he refused to declare himself in Lvor of protection to free labor by BEDFORD. PA., FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 28, 1860. refusing to dsfijie his position on tho great issue of the Kansas Nebraska question, at the very luouicut he was soliciting tht stmport and confidence of the people. y?'- Should not the claims and pretentions of such a man be rtjected now, by tht people of Penn sylvania, as they were rejected then by his neigh bors and acquaintances? Every questiou we here propound involves a charge against Heury D. Foster which he has never been able to answer or refute. ~He has never been able to explain his wavering posi tion on the Kansas Nebraska question—the stain of hie neglect of the intetests of the peo ple while a member of the Legislature still clings to his reputation. His disregard of reg ular nominations, leaves him without a claim to the support of the sincere men of his psity, who are wedded to its organisation in tho hon est hope of maintaining their political opiu ioos. And yet the people of Pennsylvania are daily insulted by the advocates of the claims and pretensions of Foster, who assert for him a pre-eminence and purity to which bo never was entitled The free laborer and mechanic who depend for success as slavery is nbridged and restricted, are asked to vote lor a mun who has plotted in compromises and bargains, to suocurub to tho power of slavery, increase its prestige and enlarge its influence. Will the honest, independent working men and mechanics of Pennsylvania lend their votes and their influence to elevate such a demagogue and trickster as Henry D. Foster has proved himself, to the chief executive office of the State? liar. Ttl. For the. Inquirer. Douglas Meeting in Cumberland Val ley. CUMBERLAND VALLEY, Sept. 21, '6O. Mr. EDITOR If you will indulge me B few moments, 1 will give you a passing glome ol another Douglas meeting. It was publicly anuouueed during last week that John Cessna, Esq., (owner of the Gazette,) and his appren tice, Mr. Meyers, of Bedford, would address the Douglas club at Fouk's seltoolliom c, near the Maryland and Pennsylvania line, on Sat urday night, 15th inst, Now, here, lit me remit k, that John Cessna, Is*q., is of ail men the favorite of Cumberland Valley, nnd, if any man in the State of Peunsylvauia, advo cating Jjocofoeoism, can draw an audience io this neighborhood, he CQ do it. Hut, notwithstanding all bis popularity, wbeu the evening arrived, the attendance was quite incrgre, indeed, in comparison with what one might have expected. Among the distiu tinguisted persons preseut may be reckoned John Cessna, Mr. Meyers, Jacob Snyder, Levi Hardinger, &c. Tbo meeting wis organized by calling Mr. Levi Hardinger to tlui chair.— This is the veritable Levi of Buckeye notorie ty, who gained quite a reputation as a public speaker iu his famous temperance controversy, several years ago. Mr. Meyers was tliLii a'- leu upon to ad dross the meeting. Well, ho made u speech,and evidently attempted to nuke a great display of hi 3 oratorical powers, but ho did not acquit himself well, and his speech may be summed up iu oue small potalof: He told us nothing new, ouly "how the Douglas men open the eyes of young puppies, and how the Breckinridge men slide on greasy bacon tiuds;" quite a novel pastime for a lot of gen tlemen. Consequently, when his hearers saw what a little thing it was, they wsro so much tickled, that they actually clappod their hands and squealed, "CanV you do a little better, .Mr. Meyers V Mr. Cessna was then oallcd, and he made a speech, of course. Now, you kuow wheu he speaks, he tries to make tbo people believe that what he says is true. Well, he made a good speech— so good, in fc.t, that ho convinc ed one Douglas man that modern is a iiumhug, aud he is now going to vote for Old Abe, aud the opposition couuly ticket. Friend Cessna, dou't you kuow that democ racy nowadays won't bear too much truth ? You might have krown better. Mr. Tate also made oue vote for Old Abe when he was down. Come on, Cessna and Tate, and make us a speech evary night until the election. I yrilj try and secure you a full boyse., for you are profitable speakers,. Wbeu Mr. Cessna was speaking, a portion of the houso became quite noisy, aud just fhsn a gentic breeze happeued to waft along from that quarter, and brought with it unmistaka ble evidence that it was only the noise and confusion of confined spirits, and not of true patriotism. Mr. Snyder uude a liule better effort with his foot, this time, than be did ou former occasions. He is quite an enthusiastic gentlem an, and tf he is a littlo lagging some times, a gentle hint sets him ujl right. The fullowiog graphic piece of poetry was plainly depicted on his countenance : Ah, woe is me .' alas ! alas ! Poor Douglas, Douglas, Douglas. Poor Snyder! he was so happy. He put uio in mind of au anecdote that was ouoe told mo of biui. Once on a time, when he was attending a meeting near Schellsbnrg, be became ao un utterably filled with enthusiasm, in a certain cause, aqd, uttering a wild ery of joy, ran into fie forest and ascended to the top of a high tree, where he insisted ou staying until the small boars of morning, much io the chagrin and dismay of his friends i expeot to be a witness io a similar feat of Mr. Snyder some of for he was certainly looking for a irel last Saturday night. But of Mr. Snyder"! will have tuore to say whca I hear biiu make a speech. Oh, yps, there was another distinguished personage present, that I had almost overlook ed; I should have mentioned him before. But with my hat in hand, and bowing as polite as 1 can, 1 ask the old gentleman's pardon. Af ter I pay htm my respects and inquire how his garden produces, tho size and weight of his cabbages, beets, &c., I will then introduce bioi to you. It will be of but little u>e for any other enterprising horticulturist to attempt to compete with this old worthy in garden pro ducts at the (Jouuty Fair. Well, ho is no oth er than the old gray-haired functionary of Cum berland Valley, better known, probably, by the name of Old War Horse. 1 have been looking for him before, but it seems as if be has been kept in tho background by the friends of JOHN J. The old nag broko out from his enclosure the other night, and strayed u little from home; and if one could judge by the way be was frisking and switching around, you would have thought he would soon do to put on the course again; but bis frieuds say that he is badly affected with what horse doctors call ventral hernia, caused by eating too many onion tops; consequently, they don't think that he will ever he fit for another race. It is a pity that he is afflicted thus, for he is tin Nero of the passing age, and what is most remarka ble, bis .knowledge seems to eome to him spontaneously, lie never reads, and cares but very little about hearing a speech, whi is made manifest in the following anecdote: While there was a case of misdemeanor be ing tried Horiorj tfrlTO was a celebrated lawyer about to make a speech ui behalf of the Commonwealth, when this veritable old ltoman PoDtiff looked up with surprise, aud said: "I have no objections to the gentleman making a speeth for the information of those present, but, for my own part, uiy head is too graj;" and he pointed with priJe to his old crow's nest. I would also recommend hiui to the Borough candidates as a suitable person in whose hands to put money for electioneering purposes. People thou will not he apt to get drunk on the proceeds of such uioucy, for ho is of tho same opinion as most sensible men, that money pays well at ten per cent, interest• Well, if this old political iutriguer thinks that I nave not done him justice, I will take it all back , with a promise to do him justice in my nnt communication. Wishing our Douglas friends all a pleasant te'e a tete with the Judge and his mother at the head waters of Salt Riv er, (where they will find Gen. Foster and the county ticket,) L bid them all adieu. Tfipir Douglas meetiugs are creating no sen sitiou here, but I noticed oue thing last Sat urday night that scented a little of corruption. Mr. isuyder opproaobe * a man with a curious blur in his eye, and tappiug him slightly on the shoulder, said: ".Gome up to the election; I'll give you—your diuuor aud feed your horse." They forgot to adjourn at their meet ing, but went it pell-mell, helter-skelter after the scent of their bottle. A LOOKER-ON. WHO SHOI'LD BE BOVEBMK ? In a few weeks—in less than a month—the people of Pennsylvania will be called ou to elect a Governor. We are now in the stormiest days of that election campaign, and the ques tion, Who should be Governor? assumes a more stirring importance as tho second Tuesday iQ October approaches: It assumes an importance, paramount in every particular, ia which the welfare of the Commonwealth is not only con cerned, but ia which is involved the peace, the progress and the prosperity of the Union:— Pennsylvania, as a sovereign State, exercises a vast influence on the business aod social welfare of her sister Commonwealths. Sho does this by the development of her resources, her ac tivity in trade, her mechanical genius, the power aud wealth of her citizens developing them selves in every brauch of business and all the avenues of trade. To preserve these interests, and give au impetus to the trade aud labor that produce the magnificent abundance by which we are blessed, Pennsylvania depends largely on the boalttiy operation of her government, as well •-? the honesty of those who are called on to make, . d the purity of those who are em powered !o administer, her laws. It we eh-""' a weak, vasciilatiog and caviling Executiv. officer, the force and power of the government are at once gone. A Republican majority for tbiee years to corn.- would be worthless and useless with my but a Republican (Jove/nor — i M and unless Pennsylvania does elect a Republi can majority in both branches of the Legisla ture, she has iittio to hope from, altho' depend ing so much on legislation, and less from the Executive branch of the Government. Who should be Governor? Is Henry D. Fos ter worthy to be elevated to tbat honorable and responsible position? We think not, and we arc induced to think so for several cogent rea sons. He has no fixed principle of government to guide bim, aud if elected, would become the subject of a bitter dispute between two factions iu bis own party. He has uo stability of char acter, because he is uncertain and unreliible as a business man. He has no moral indepen dence or political fortitude, because he hesi tates aud shrinks from defining his position ou grave questious disturbing the harmony of his p;rty, dividing its organization, and vitally af fecting the interests of his native Common wealth as well as the security aud future progress of the American Union. Ho is unworthy, because his auibitiou leads bim to aspire to positions in which he would ueglect tbd interests of his con stituents in order to gratify his owu ease, or obey his disposition for carelessness and cupid ity. He was guilty of such conduct while he was io tho Legislature of Pounsyksim—lD! carried his impulses for similar actions into the National House of Representatives. While iu tho Legislature henegltcted ever/duty imposed upon him, and his record iu Congress is as bar ren of good or devotion to ttfe interest of bis constituents, as is tbat of the most servile doughface from the North. He ad vocated pro tection to Arocrioan Industry, as he uow advo cates Democratic doctrine, with a lidiculous effort at consistency, aud only so far as it af fected his owu immediate interests, lie was for protection to the irou interests, not because it was just and right to be so, but because it was popular to be engaged in such an advocacy. If ho was not controlled by such a feeling, why does Henry D. Foster uow refuse to defiue his position on "these questions? We answer, be cause it would affect his prospects of an elec tion. Aud we might answer, too, because neither the Douglas or tbe Breckinridge fac tions have clearly defined their position on the great question cf protecting tho industry and resources of tho country. Who should be Governorl We lave fairly stated, in a few words, the incapacity of Henry D. Foster, as well as bis uncertainty in a busi ness and political sense. He is not the man h-r the crisis, He affected a dignity in his past silence, which is illustrated in his present effort to define his position, llis spokeu words are denied as his record has been most ridiculously exaggerated. And all this has bccu done to deceive the people of Pennsylvania. It has been done to inaugurate a dynasty at Harris burg, around which every corrupt factionist in the State would cluster aud clamor for his share in the profits of his labor for its creation. Who should be Governor? Tho people will soon be called on to decide. Betweeu Henry D. Foster and Andrew G. Curtin they cannot long pause. While Foster struggles for an organization that be bates and tears, Cut tin is contending for prictiples of equal; and exact justice. While Foster stands tremblmg be tween the factions in his own party, unable aud unwilling to decide as to their regularity and the justice of their principles, Curtin is pre sented by a harmonious organization of men devoted to the uohlest purposes, and pledged to sustain the most patnotio principles. While ilenry D. Foster is denying his derotion to the interests of bis State, in order to secure the support of federal officeholders, Andrew G. Curtin is daily defending aud advocating those interests. Who should be Governor? The people will answer, Andrew G. Ourtiu!— Ha/risburg Tele graph. PENNSYLVANIA THE BATTLE GROUND. The minions of the National Administration, discovering that they caunot effeot a fusion of all the factions in New York opposed to the Republican organization, have concluded to transfer their degrading influences to Penn sylvania, and thus make the Old Keystone btito the battle field. For this purpose, thousands of dollars aro beiug put in circula tion, as a corruption fund, to pay men citjie;- to circulate falsehood or cease in the utterance i of the truth. They havo abandoned N. York because the Republicans of the Empire State have proved their ability to defeat the factions opposed to them, either in fusion, or wteu scattered into fragments, as they aro, by the baseness, inconsistency and difference in the principles wbieh they advocate. In Penn sylvania they hope to delude the peoplo by af feoting the election of Henry D. Foster, aud V'hcu that is accomplished, they calculate on an easy victory in November. To do this the slave holers of the South have united with the doughfaces of the North, oontrijturtifg their VOL. 33, NO. 39. uiouey and intellect, a common crusade against the free white labor of the whole country. It is not the election of Henry D. Foster that has aroused this effort or suggested this plan of operation. It is not the mere triumph of the party in October tbat lias driven tbeso desperate fauatios and ikctionists to Pennsyl vania. It is more than all these, great nnd important as even these are to the peoplo of Pennsylvania. It is to defeat Curtin because he is a friend of free labor, an advocate of its protection, and a defender of all its rights and interests, it is to sesure the legislature of the State, rfnd thus ensure the election of a dema gogue as despicable as Bigler to represeut Pennsylvania in the Senate of the United States. It is to promote the election of auti- Tur iff men, of men opposed to the Homestead, and of reprcacntatives in every Congressional dit/iot who are in favor of a slave code fop the Territories, of opening our ports indi* ciiuiinately to a slave traffic, mod of making slavery the controlling influence in the National as well as all the State governments in the Union. This is the sworu purpose of those opposed to the Republican party. They seek the establishment of slave codes for the terri tories, tho opening of our ports to a slave traffic, the recognition of slavery by all the Stales in thdHpJfTou—because they seek to unite to defeatJjtorty piiat is pledged io op pose all these assumptions of power and ag gression of right.' They are opposed to pro tection to hee labor because they strive to band their forces for the single object of defeating an organization that has devoted all its iuv flueuce and energy to the promotion of labor and the extension of the benefits of industry, They uu'te to destroy. They give up principle and right, as argued and expounded by theni, ihat they may gather strength tj arrest the progress of free institutions and the develop ment of free labor. .Republicans of* Pennsylvania, are you ready for such a contest ? Are you willing to sur render the most cheering prospect you ever possessed, for aoiiioviog the noblest purpose Dd viudicating the most sacred principles ? 1 here must be uo faltering or hesitating in a crisis such as tho one that is impending over the country. If the bittlc is to be fought iu Pennsylvania, we must prepare ourselves for the result either by eteruly meeting and de feating our enemies, or by yielding all our hopes of future peace, prosperity and prog, ress. In Pennsylvania it is no longer a mere political question. It is no longer a contest simply between men. It is a struggle for our richest heritage as a sovereign State, our com mercial independence and husiuess reciproci ties. It is a struggle on the one sido to main tain principles involving social, business aud political law and order, against a crusade on the other to disorganize society by breaking up the relations of husband and wife. To degrade humanity by enslaving the body and soul. To cheapen labor either by depreciating it, or leaving it unprotected and uucncouragcd. Tho leaders of both factions iu the Democratic party are struggling aloue for free trade stud the cxteusioo of slavery. The friends of ouo candidate openly admit their indiffcreuoe as to the result, whilo the other as shamefully de clare their adheusiou to freo trade aud slavery extension. We ask again, if tho people of Pennsylvania are willing to be corrupted by the gold derived from a Southern traffic with slave dealers? If they are, then will these factions succeeJ to power, again to disturb the country with their quarrels and excesses, and again to arouse a bitter political and sectional warfare. If they are net—if they are in favor of progressive freedom, the protection of iabor, the homestead, the peaoo and prosperity of the North and the South, under liberal, wise and patriotio legislation, they willyotefor Aoddew G. Curtm, re-elect a Republican delegation to Congress, and seeuro a Republican majority in both branches of the Legislature, for the pur pose of electing a Republican United States Senator. We must aohieve such victories, or we will fail iu November. Wo must accept this proposition of making Pennsylvania tho tattle held and route our pie-bald enemies iu October, or they will gather courage and strength for the fight in November, defeat us when the country needs the exercise of Re publican priuoiplcs iu its government, and ar rest .CUT progress in the great race of the nations of the world, at least a hundred years, io developing our resources aud improving our iudustry.— Har.
