THOSE QUESTIONS.
Why it Hr. Tayiorsilesitl
The Abolition-A ma iganiai ion-Know-Noth
ing candidate for Associate Judge, refuses to
answer tile questions put to him irt our pap'-r ot
week b-fore last. He dares not reply to them.
He has so inany interests to conciliate —so ma
ny sharp corners to turn—that it is not at all
agreeable to him to meet thus* queries frankly
and boldly. In order to round th many rough
headlands in the course of his political voyage,
he must dodge—dodge—dodge ! A while he
is in the Abolition boat, sailing along socially
with the negro-lovers— presto, he is in the
Know Nothing craft, working its oars most dex
terously—anon, he jumps on board the Demo
cratic ship and makes love in the rr.o>t tender
style to those terrible "Locofoco*," whom he
always despises most cordially except when he
is a candidate for office. But dodging won't do,
Mr. Taylor. The people want to know your
answer.* to these question* :
Mr. Taylor, did you not, in 1557, vote for
DAVID WILMOT, for Governor, who was
supported by the abolitionists of Pennsylvania
for that office, and did you not refuse to sup
port ISAAC HAZELHUBST, the Straight Ameri
can, anti-abolition candidate of your party ?
Did you not vote, last fall, tor JOHN M.
READ, •he candidate for Supreme Judge of this
State, supported by the .Abolitionists *
Would yon not vole tor WM. H. SEVVARD,
if nominated by vcur party for President, the
man who recently declared that there isan "ir
repressible conflict betw en freedom and slave
ry," which wilt never reave titl the cotton and
rice-fields of the South shall be cultivated by
free tabor, or tb- rye and wheal fields of the
North bv slave labor 7
Will you not vote for GEO. W. WILLIAMS,
the model Abolition-Amalgamationist, who vo
ted against the Bill to prevent the intermarriage
of whites and b'acks ?
Lastly, as you are still a sworn Know Noth
,ng f never having renounced your oath, would
vou not be compelled to vote torGerrif Smith,
W. Lloyd Garrison, or any avowed and una
dulterated Abolitionist, if nominated by your
part\ 1 v ..
WHY IT WAS DONE.
The nomination ol MR. JOHN TAYLOR
for Associate Judge, was made by the Know
Nothing Abolition wire-workers, for the tx
; press purpose of entrapping such Democrats as
from i heir personal and family connexion with
Mr. Taylor, would be inclined to vote for him.
He was nominated, not because of any respect
1 for his talents, or hi? worth as a citizen, butbe
; cause the aforesaid wire-workers supposed that
: some of Mr. Taylor's relatives, who are among
the best Democrats in the county, would be
induced to desert their party and vote for their
cousin or their brother-in-law. His nomina
tion is i trap set expressly for .Mr. Taylor's
Democratic relatives. We have laid bare the
pit-fall ; should any one find himself caught in
it, it will not be without a proper warn
ing.
"WORSE THAN A YANKEE."
MR. JORDAN says we are worse than a Yan
kee, because when he asks us a question, we
answer him by asking him half a dozen in turn.
We can say nothing in extenuation of this sad
habit ot ours, except that Mr. Jordan's political
history is of such a questionable nature that we
can't resist the temptation of putting a few in
terrogatories to him, now and then. Will Mr.
Jordan answer this question :
Did the truth suffer more at your hands,* Mr.
Jordan, when von said in 1855 that Simon
' ...
Cameron v. as a "slimy politician, who never
accomplished an honorable achievement in poli
tics,'" or when you proclaimed, a few days ago,
that he "teas ALWAYS the able and zealous
advocate of the great interests of Pennsylvania
which he so well understands ?"
is HEAN'ABOLTTIONIST ?
MR. SAMUEL J. WAY, who is a candi
date lor the office of County Treasurer, was
busily employed during the !a?t summer, in get
ting subscribers to the 'A*. Y. Tribune , an Abo
lition newspaoer of thp rankest sort, whose ed
itor has proclaimed that " rather than, iobrate I
national slavery as it now exists, let the Union j
be dissolved at once, and then the sin of slave
ry will rest where it belongs," and whose cor
resjxondeot, JAMES REDPATH, has slid of
Southern slave-dealers, "Drive them into the.
sea as Christ once drove the swine." After Mr
IVay'a "fforts to sow broadcast such heresies as l
these, we presume few persons will have the
hardihood'o deny that he is an Abolitioo
ist.
A SHAMELESS FALSEHOOD.
We are informed that some of the scavengers
of the Abolition -Amalgamation-Know-Nothing-
People's party, are circulating the story
that JOHN KEMERY', the Democratic candi
date for Director of the Poor, is a foreigner by
birth. This is a deliberate, wanton falsehood.
Mr. Kemery is an American by birth. Neverthe
less, we hald that if he had been born rn
Germany, or any other foreign Jland, he would
not be a whit the worse for it, either as a man,
i or, a citizen.
TF~The piebald Opposition—the redoubta
ble "ring-streaked and striper!"—are trying to
make capital against GEN. COFFU'JTH by
representing that he is a Forney man. This is
untrue and unfair. Gen. CofFroth never sym
' pathised with Forney in his efforts to distract
j and divide the Democracy. He refused, to our
i own certain knowledge, to sign the call for For
| ney's Bogus Convention,and last Fall he labor
: ed hard for the success of the Democratic tick
-1 et in Somerset county. The harmonious "apeck
j iej and spotted" had better let Gen. CofFroth
: alone, and tell us whirh ol their candidates tor
' the Legislature they intend to drop, Amaigama
| '.ion Williams, or anti-Amalgamation Walker.

TiON. A WHITE MAX ASSAULTED WITH KNIVES
AND CLUBS BY NEGROES—GREAT EXCITEMENT
On Saturday night last, a3 Mr. Geo. Meloy, a
young man living with Mr. Steckman, of this
place, was sitting in front ofthe "Mengel
House," he was assaulted by a gang of negroes
who, it seems, were armed with knives and
clubs. A hand-to-hand struggle ensued and
in the melee, voung Meioy received a severe
cut from some sharp instrument in the handset
one of the negroes. The alarm being given, a
considerable number of citizens collected to
gether and succeeded in capturing the darkies,
and lodg.'ng them in jail. On Monday they
crm up tor their hearing before Esq. Radebaugh
when some half dozen of them were bound |
over. This affair has caused much excitement
among our citizens.

To the above-named committees, chosen by
ihe direct vote of the Democracy of the county,
the organizational th party in the sewral town
ships and boroughs, is -nfrusted. It is their du
ty to see that voters are properly assessed, that
harmony and good feeii ng prevail among Demo
crats, that the candidates of the party are not
secretly injured by triesr political or their per
sona! enemies, that the whole Democratic vote
of their respective districts is brought to the
polls, and that the interests of the party gen
erally are attended to in a proper manner. These
Committees are all composed of good men and
ivc, therefore, confidently expect that they will
render great se|* ice to Ihe Democracy between
this and the election.
OlMt VOlf.
The importance of one vote is rarely made
more manifest than it waa in the r-cent elec
tions in Kentucky and Tennessee. One oppo
sition candidate for Congress-, in the former
State, was elected by three votes, arm in another
district fiie vote was a tie. In ti.e latter Stale
on* opposition candidate for Congress was elec
ted by tight votes, another by twentysrx, and
another by fifty. In all of these cases there
were doubtless Democrats enough remained at
heme to have turned the scale in favor of the
Democratic nominees, had they gone to the
election and deposited their baiiofs, as if was
their duty to have done. We hope that Demo
crats will Sear these instances in mind, tdiis fall,
in this county and State, and not ur,der-estmate
the importance ot one vntt in determining th
result of the election.
The Baltimore Reform meeting.
The town meeting, held the other day in Bal- I
Simore, for the purpose of devising means to
rescue that city "from its present deplorable
condition," was attended by imposing numbers
of respectable people from all parties. The
crowd which was assemble! in Monument
Square is estimated at some 10,000. The res
olutions which were passed, and speeches made
on She occasion reveal a state of afTairs in that
unfortunate community that is periectly horri
ble, arid calling tor th- mist determined artivi
on the part of all well disposed citizens. They
must not relax in their efforts. The eyes of
the country, whose sympathies are with their
cause, are upon them. It they should fail .low,
(he evil consequences flowing from such failure
would not he confined to Baltimore alone. It
would encc.urage the elements of rowdyism and
hloodv an'irchv elsewhere ; but for Baltimote,
it would result in utter ruin, were the present
authorities allowed to continue in ppwer another
term.
What has become, under their blighting rule,
[oftbv rights guaranteed by the Constitution of
this "land of the free" to every citizen, mav be
inferred fiom the following graphic description,
by one of the orators of the town meeting', of
The manner in which elections are managed and
carried in Baltimore.
"A referen e to the poi'uical proceedings of
1 the pat few weeks will illustrate what I mean,
j An important election is coming on, which will
[determine the character of our city Govern
' rn-nt f>r the n"xt year. Candidates were to he
! nominated, and it ha been done. But hoiv
I was it accomplished ? Instead of an orderly as
sembly of peaceable citizens to select the test
men for important offices, we have seen a mus
tering ail over the city of political clubs, whose
[ vile purposes are best indicated by the vile
j names which lfv*v assume. These were the
I active and efficient inst-ument? iu the nomina
tions. Phig Ugli-s, Blood Tubs, Black Snakes
t and Tigers are some of the names in '\hichthes
: people rejoice and hv which they characterized
j themselves. Th vilest reptiles and most stv
j age beasts in the ju rmnt of these men of the j
club, form their most appropriate designations;
and fittest emblems. These clubs c -mtirise the ■
| individuals who seek to control and often do;
control the primary meetings of the people. !
Their services are to nc had bv those who pav j
highest or intrigue most successfully, and they j
i accomplish their work bv fraud and violence, [
! with knif.- and pistol, th- cowardly slung-si.ot >
I and iron knuckle. 7'hey have indeed come In i
j be a recognize,! element in trie p >ii tit a I canvas, I
and even honorable genllem°n are not ashamed :
| to seek fr and accept nominations from such j
| unclean hands."
I The effect of the disorderly government of j
'he citv upon her repu'ation abroad, lie.- trad" j
and materia! interests, is described bv another j
j as fol lows :
"As a merchant T must tell von how i! has of-j
j fected tlie trade and commerce of our city. East
| winter I made a trio to our Western country :
■ I visited manv narts of Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, j
i Missouri anil lowa. I ca'ied to see rr.ariy mer
j chants in those Stafp®, and invited 'hem to com-'
I to Baltimore and deal with u, and 1 am name i
|to tell you their answer. We used to deal in !
Baltimore, said some of them—we would likej
to deai in Baltimore, said others, but we can
do just as well in Philadelphia and New York,
and we do not wish to incur the risk ofgoing to j
Baltimore. Your laws and authorities are pow
erless against the banded outlaws of your city,j
and we are afraid to come there.
Every now and then we receive a remittance ;
from some country merchant about the time we i
are expecting him to com" to Baltimore and ;
buy his goods, making the announcement there- j
with that he will notcorneto Baltimore this'
season, but will go east bv the northern rout".;
We ask for no explanation —we all under
stand it.
Many of those who do come here make (heir
calculations when they l**ave home to arrive
h°re in the morning, so that they can make a
few special purchases in Baltimore, and leave
again in the evening train for Philadelphia.
It was only last week that a merchant made
such a visit to Baltimore. Nothing cor.ld in
duce him to spend (he night here, as he said he
had already violated the promise he had made
to his wife when he left home, which was that
he would not come to Baltimore at all.
Another in tanceoccurred in the esse of one
of my own customers from a neighboring city,
lie came here to purchase goods, and finding
that he could not complete ail iiis purchases in
a daVj returned home by the evening train, and
came back again the next morning. And the
evil reputation of Baltimore is not confined to
the western hemisphere. I crossed the ocean a
short time since upon a business mission. I
visited a remote town in England to make a
purchase. The manufacturer with whom 1
was dealing had never seen me before. He
was an humble man, and I had r.o reason to
think that he had ever heard of Baltimore. He
inquired what market in the United States I
bought for. I fold him 1 bought for Baltimore.
Baltimore! said lie, with a sudden impulse;
why, that's the place where the rowdies shoot
people down in the street." These remarks need
no comment —they speak for themselves.
Numerous as ttie meeting was, the auda
city of the rowdies was such as to appear in force
and attempt to disturb its proceedings* But the
ringleaders were promptly arrested this tune.
We trust that the right cause will conquer,
and that the reform movement will be success
ful. The power is in the hands of the respect
able classes of the community. It is their boun
den, sacred duty to assert i , and, if need oe, to
make an example that will stiike terror into
the souls of the evil disposed.— Pennsylvmiun.
