tThO following touching poem wns found
among tlio posthumous papers of Guy II, Salis
bury. Lifo is joy
To tlio liglit-lienrtod, careless Boy,
AVho sports aiming tho benutons flowora,
Thro' all the golden. Ptinitncr hours,
Companion of the bird and bee;
As aitloss, thoughtless and as free,
IIo knows not how tho moments fleot(
Until, at cvo, soft slumber sweet
Binds him in blest repose.
Lifo is gravo
When all the joys that childhood gave
Change tu stern cares, ns tho worn soul
feels the hard sway of Care's control ;
Tho flowers stil think tho morning dews,
But all things wear more sober hues,
Life's mid-day heats the soul oppress,
Tho spirit faints in weaiiuess,
His years near o'er.
Lifo is Fad.
When Boyhood's dreams have ended all,
And Manhood tees Youths' ensiles fall,
Vhcu worthless 6oeins the Soul's poor aims,
And nobler jpn-rd our being claims;
M'o feel how weak the strength of Jinn,
llow childish is his w isest plan,
And sadness on tho spirit weighs,
In Life's fast moving Autumn days
Ere yet they close.
Lifo is holy,
In lofiy sphere or lowly;
When tho pure soul to Heaven aspires,
And turna to good tho heart's desires,
When kindness Alls tlio heart with lovo
For Man below and God above;
When every day Porno graceful duty,
Makes Earth a scene of joy and beauty,
Tho Soul needs not an Angel's wings
To soar above vain earthly things,
Tho' prisoner hero.
Asa Packer stood fuir us a citizen of Muueh
Chunk until 18G6. In July of that year
ho was uotified that his taxes for all purposes
(on a valuation of $1,153,433.) omouuting
to $'33,332,77 were then due. lie paid no
attention to tho notices, and when called
upon by tho collectors, positively refused to
pay tho tuxes, savin?; that ho was assessed
in Philadelphia, Upon examination, it was
found that ho was assessed iu Phiuladelpbiu
for $10,000, personul property, over one mil
lion dollars less than bis valuation in Mauch
Chunk. The officials of Mauch Cbuuk suc
ceeded in ... collecting bis tas. from
him, but at on expenso to tho county of over
two thousund dollars. Since that time they
have concluded to let Lim pay his taxes iu
Philadelphia rather than contest tho mutter
at so great cost. Accordingly, for tho past
tow years Mr. Pucker has evaded tho pny
ment of a largB portion of his tax. Is the
nmii that will descend to so paltry a subterfugo
for tiie Etike of saving a sum of mouey, which
is ce'taiuly trifling to a man of his great
wealth, a proper person to be elevated to tho
proud position of of (iovernor Pennsylvania?
The frieudship of Asa Pucker for the
workiug man, fiuds ample proof in the record
of his business career, as it is developed from
diytoday. For example, from 1841 to
1348, ho paid his employees in the scrip of
the Lehigh Coal and Navigation Company
at par, aud tlieu redeemed it from them at
40 per cent, discount. Tho scrip was next to
useless.' The men could not buy anything
with it, aud were compelled lo submit to tho
shave, in order to procure food aud raiment
for their families; of courso Tacker did this
all out of pure kindness of heart, llo knew
that "mouey was the root of all evil," and
that he was doing the poor men a service by
just giviug them enough to keep body aud
soul together, and puting the extra 40 per
cent iu his own pocket. Is it any wonder
ho is worth so muny millions? AVhut a
fricud to the working men? Heaven save
them from such "friends."
A favorite argument with the Democracy
why Packer should bo elected, is his shrewd
management of his private business. That
he is exceedingly shrewd, Cuaueially, can no
longer be questioned. Tor example, ho
furnished tho State Committee with $100,
000, to ruu the campaign, and immediately
ruised the tonuge on coal, over the Lehigh
Valley Ruilroud. which he own3, fifty-five
ceuts per ton This additiouul touaga which
rr.ust be paid by the cousumers of coal, who
are priucipally poor lubormg men, will soon
make up the $100,000 furnished the State
Committee. AVho will doubt the "shrewd
ness" of a man who can make the consumers
of coal pay tho expeuses of a Gubernatorial
campaign? Wonderful financier, is Asa?
But it won't wiu.
Workiugmen, be not deceived. Tho Dem
ocratic purty if, they hud the power, would
inaugurate Free Trade, which would closo up
the workshops; greatly lessen the demand
for coal; destroy our manufactures, and not
only throw out ot employment thousands of
luborers, but ajso greatly reduce the wages of
those who could get euipioyment. This is an
important quesiiou for all laboring men to

GEN. GEORGE W GEAR 7.
Gen. Geary hits served his country and race
in many capacities, but always with fidelity,
and to their entire acceptance. In his career
in California he rcudered good service to
the cause of justice and right, and materi
ally assisted in tho organization of the
Golden Stnto, and of helping to place her
upon that path, which has led her people to
unparalleled prosperity. As Post Master of
Sun Francisco, aud Mail Agent for tho Paci
fic coast, or Alcade, Judge, and Mayor, we
find hitn discharging his duties with impar
tiality aud scrupulous conscientiousness. His
admiuit-trution in all of these capacities was
marked by integrity and ability. It was
muiuly owing to his efforts thnt California
began her career as a free Stato, and for his
ugency in this respect (en. Geary has richly
meiited the respect of all lovers of freedom.
Appointed as Governor of Kansas in a time
of unparalleled excitement, and placed in
most trying positions, Gen. Geary's adminis
tration of the affairs of that territory was
creditable to himself and highly beneficial to
tho country. It was breaking the way for
the establishment of law aud order, where bo
fore anarchy and violence had ruled with a
high baud. Drought into contact with tho
very worst men that slavery ever produced,
and compelled to deal with desperadoes of
tho lowest class, he was able to enforce a law
and to preserve the peace; two things very
difficult of accomplishment with tho means
he had to work with. Gen. Geary's career
as Gsvernor of Kansas was in every respect a
maiked Euccess. In the war of tlio rebellion,
Gen. Geary filled un important place and by
his services placed tho people of this country
under new obligations. Ucwasono of the
first to tender his services to tlie government
iu its hour of need. He raised a regimeut
the 28th P. V. composed of 1,700 men, tit
his own expense, and, marching down to the
front, remaiued at tho front until treason
was subded. At tho battles of Bolivar,
Leesburg, Cedar Mountain, Chancellorsville,
and Gettysburg, he took a distinguished part
in three of which Bolivar, Cedar Mountaiu
and Chancellorsville ho was wouuded
twice very dangerously, once in tho arm aud
also in the chest. '1 hi se scars ho vi ill carry
to his grave, and they are evidences of his
valor and patriotism. IIo commanded in the
terrible battle of Wauhatchie, and while he
gained a decisive victory, ho lost his son,
who was shot dea'd at his gun. In the bat
tles of Lookout Mouutuin, Mission Ridge
and Ringgold, and in the hundred day's fight
on tho road to Atlanta, Gen. Geary bore a
conspicuous part, and won imbcrisbublo re
nown. He marched with Sherman down to
the sen, received tho surrender of, and was
mado Governor of Savnnuah, and rendered
iuvaluublo service in cutting in twain the
rebel Confederacy. He also took part in that
series of battles which followed the capture
of Savannah, and resulted iu destroying the
Southern wing of the rebel army under com
mand of Gen. Joe Johufton. As a soldier
ho was always at his post, and neither danger
nor peril could drive him fiom it. 11 is ca
reer as a soldier was successful from com
mencement to closo. ils Governor of this
Commonwealth for tho past three years, he
has made a record of w hich uone need be
ashamed, and of which any man ought justly
be proud. His administration has been char
acterized by firmness, sagacity, moderation,
impartiality aud strict honesty. Gen. Geary
has mado ouo of tho best executives Pennsyl
vania ever had, uud so history will record
him. after the heut of political bitterness
shall huvo passed away. That he Bhould,
and will be elected Governor there is no
doubt, as certain it is tho people of this
Commonwealth canuot find one more compe
tent or worthy to serve in this capaciry.
Ho. Henry W. Williams, of Allegheny
county, our candidate for Supremo Judge,
was before the people of the State two yours
ago, and through the unprecedented frauds
perpetrated by the Demacracy, the certificate
of election was given to tho opposition by a
majority of less than one thousand. It is
duo to the Judge shat his honorablo course
beeudorsed by a handsome majority, and the
party of corruptionists given to understand
thut tho houest majority of our pecplo shall
fill the offices at their disposal. A Judge of
experience and conceded ability, never guil
ty of partizan rulings, those favoring the
elevutiou of the Judiciary will give him their
suffrages. The opposition, C. L. Pershiug,
itn Attorney at Law, has not attained to the
diguity of Judge, and has been known as a
politician, belonging to the ultra anti-war
purty, and, as a member of the Legislature,
voted for every Copperhead measure, lie is
a politician, which "Williums never was,
and our people, of all parties, desiring to
beep its baueful influences from this depart
ment of government, will make a note of this
fact, and rule their actions on election day

The Congress to which Asa Packer was
first elected met on December 3d, 1855. The
session lasted uutil August 30th 1856, a pe
riod of niue months, und wes one of the most
important sessions ever held. During' the
session Mr. Packer wug absent from the scene
of bis official labors at various times, amount
ing in all to seven months. And yet for two
months' work he drew full pay, Three
Thousand Dollars. From such statesmanship
w pray to ba delivered.
Facker and Pendleton.
I
"Show me yoflr company and I'll tell yori
what yon are. " Never was a truer proverb.
Mr. Aa Packer (soys the Pittsburgh Ga
zette), whose cordial hospitalities were ex
tended to Vullandigham in 18C2,hatalso an
other Ohio friend by the name of Pendleton.
The latter was in Congress in 18G4 and voted
against a resolution introduced . by Gen.
Smith, of Kentucky, and which expressed a
terribly Radical idea, as' follows:
"Whereas, A most desperate, wicked and
bloody rebellion exists within the jurisdic
tion of tho United States, and the safety and
and security of personal and notional liberty
depend upon its utter and absolute extinc
tion; therefore,
Resolved, That it is 'he political, civil,
moral, and sacred duty of the people to meet
it, fight it, and crush it, and forever destroy
it."
Mr. rondleton waa ono of the sixteen nays
recorded against that resolution. His friend
Pucker would havo mndo the seventeen, if he
had been a member. These two men are
candidates for tho highest offices of two great
States, put up by the same party, and stand
ing on the same platform as iu '65 ono of
opposition to the duty of the people to meet,
fight, crush and destroy a wicked rebellion.
It was crushed, but without the aid of either
of these gentlemen, who now propose to un
do as much as they can of the nation's great
work.
now A Youxo Girl was Saved. About
ono year ago, a young woman whose age was
uineteen years, was arrested on the Btreets at
night, iu Detroit, aud tho next day commit
ted to jail for vugrancy. It was tho third
time iu as many weeks that she had been
similarly captured. Sho hud sunken very
low, indeed, though tho policemen noticed
that sho did not insult them when arrested,
that uo profanity escaped her lips, and that
when before the justice she seemed thoroughly
ushamed of her situation. Yet tho depths
of degradation to which her course had car
ried her were fenrlul to contemplate. Sho
came there from an up-river town, and had
parents respectable und highly esteemed in
their place of residence, living to bewail tho
life upon which their daughter had entered.
The girl's appearance in court, together with
tho story of her life, which sho told, were)
mentioned in the newspapers. Tho item at
tracted the utteulion of a German lady, who
resolved to tiy aud save that young woman
from destruction. She mentioned tho mat
ter to her husband, and he alter a great
deal of coaxing, to bo sure secon led her ef
forts. An interviow with the girl resulted
iu the husbuud's giving bail for her appear
uuco ut court, and she was discharged from
custody. The lady took the girl to her home
cloathed her neatly, and set obout the work
of reformation. I ho girl's past course was
never ullutled to and so fur us she knew, the
utmost confidence was placed in her. All
the time she was narrowly watched and
guarded, and many an evening was danger
warded off when shelittlo know it was near.
Tho girl became ouo of the most grateful
beings that ever loved a benefactor, and in
three months the lady trusted her abroad
with her children, for whom sho cared with a
vigileut eyo. Ilaudsotnuly dressed, her whole
appearance changed, ono would not recognize
her as the fallen creature so recently a sub
ject for legal punishment. After a most
thorough reformation theGermau lady had the
pleasure of restoring her to her parents, a:
true woman, ennobled by her redemption.
The Copperheads ore complaining that the'
President aud all of the Cabiuet were out of
Washington one day not long ago. They
regard it as inconsistent with law. We can
quiet their fears. Under Democratic rule it
was necessary for some member to stay at
home to watch the others, so that no ono
could steal more than his share. As Grant
proposes to be content with his salary, and
to employ no Touceys, Floyds, or Thomp
sons to do public business, the old rulo of
setting a thief to w utch a thief is played out.
It is not abusive of Cyrus L. Pershing, the
Democratic candidate for Supreme Judge, to
recall the remembrance that when Pennsylva
nia soldiers were in the field fighting for the
restoration of the Union, he, in the Assem
bly at Harrisburg.stcadily voted against them
and their interests. For a like offense Heis
ter Clymer was condemned to private life.
History should repeat itself.
The election held in Maine on- the 13th;
lust., passed off quietly, resulting in the tri
umphant election of Chambprhn, the Repub
lican candidate. This has been done in
spite of the fact that the Temperance party
run an independent candidate.
The admirers and backers of Packer in!
Pennsylvania, and Peudleton in Ohio, are
respectfully referred for a first-rate opinion
of their candidates, to tha following extract
from a letter of Gen Rosecrans to tne Ohio
Legislature in 18G3:
'I am amuzed thut any one could think of
'peace on any terms. ' 1 le who entertain tha
seutiment is fit only to be a slave; ho who ut
ters it at this time is, moreover, a traitor to
hiscguntry, who deserves the scorn and con
tempt of all honor able men. "
The election for Governor aud members of
the Legislature took place in Vermont on
the 14th iust, aud resulted in a Republican
majority of about 20,000 on the State ticket.
In the Senate there are do Democrats, while
the Republican mujority in tha House is
about twenty to oue. Vermont never gives
an uncertain sound. Now for PeonsylvaniaJ
, -
Asa Packer was a candidate for Vice Pres
ident, a year ago; and only failed to get
nominated, because he had not votes enough.
That it what will prevent him becoming
Governor or Pennsylvania. He will be short
of votei.
