Telegraph Extra. Jos. W. Patton's Bankruptcy. near siaiement or facts Jits Integrity and unim peachable honesty attest ed to by Democrats in high standing. After our paper" had gone to press, we received the following communications of Jacob At, ILudemax. Esq. of this place, nd others la shorn Joseph W. Patton, ihe Whig candidate tor Canal Commis sioner, was indebted at the lime he be came a bankrupt, who seeing him unjust ly assailed, have voluutarily come forward and tendered their testimony in his be half, that those who are not personally acquainted with his merits and high stan ding may not be imposed upon by the unprincipled slanders of the Locofoco Press. The character and standing of those who have thus come forward in defence a worthy and injured man of one who lias done all that a life of industry and honesty could accomplish are such that the most reckless calumniator in the Lo cofoco ranks dare not assail them. The name of Jacob M. Haldeman is known far and near, and stands as high as that of any citizens in this Commonwealth. lie is known to belong to the Locofoco party, although he does not meddle much vith-fpohlics. His son is one of the present candidates of the Locofoco party ia ihis county for the Legislature. He is a wan that cannot be inJuced , to swerve Jrom the etrict path of integrity and truth. lie will give no man a good name that Jie Jpe3 not to deserve it. Mr. Patton Jjvcd with and transacted business for him many years. He therefore knows him . well "and intimately; and he tells 'you that . JUr.. Patton is worthy of your support .and would make an excellent Canal Com missioner, We know also that Mr. H. speaks the highest terms of Mr. P. vhicR nothing-Tut a knowledge of his 'worth could induce him to do. lie as . we as others bear their testimony in favor of Mr. f are prompted by feei ingsliigh above mere party considera- uo&s. ihey could not see an honest man assailed and trampled upon by ruth less columniatojt, without stepping forth in his detence. They have done so, and t leave tfce result to those who can appre ciate the merits or an HONEST MAN. These certificates might be multiplied to a much greater extent, if it were neces sary. They include die principal credi tors at at the time Mr. Patton failed, and additional numbers could scarcely strength en ihe facts established. ; And now, we would ask, is a man who 3oes everything in his power to get along honestly in the world to be hunted down Warj3e he is unfortunate? Li this the Locofoco doctrine? Is this the way thy sympathise with the Poor Man? What say the Itofftco hankrupts at this way . of electioneering? Are they willing to be deneuncei as villains, scoundrels, thieves and robbers because they have a vailed themselves of salutary and humane laws for their relief? Are all unfortunates of whatever party to bear such a sterna? Aro all the Locofoco Bank rvjds, of whom there arc not a "few,- wiUiu- to join the Locofoco hue sad r at is nsin on the political ' t'reaec, and hout "dowa withPaUon the iJankrupt!" Are poor men willing thai' tt should be established as a principle tkat misfortune in tsiness or want of ineas to pay rapacious credi tors, -shall crush a wan to the earh for ever! If not Jet them be careful how they depose their votes next October. Diuise Has they may, this crusade .-351 bantrvj.u that modern Locofoco ism - is preaching ap as a direct attack o jnor tnenJ Twist and turn it as yon please, Messrs. Locofocos, it will be so understood so regarded- and so should it be by all right thinking people. We shall .see. in the end, what our opponents will gam by tins uisrepotaoie aoue m electioneering. - . ' We have received a statement f ihc return of ttie liabilities of Mr. ration, to gether with the amount paid ov him since, and the amount now due, whtc c annex: ; ' Liabilities returned ' $12,513 Deduct Mr. llaldeinan's claim 12,000 Deduct frince paid 900 Iudors:c-for which he finds himself not liable ; . 2,300 Errors in his return, since . - . discove red 1,40016,600 Leaving his own liabilities Paid since (of which certificates show, upwards of $3,000) 4,943 4,600 .Balance still unpaid 313 Now we ask if there is any man who has been baqkrupt at any time of his life, who can show a cleaner sheet than this! With these lacts staring him in the face is there any man who dare charge Joseph W. Patton with owing twenty thousand dollars, or with being a dishonest man! We invite all to read the following certifi cates, and sav whether Mr. Patton is not a greatly persecuted man. - We should have mentioned in the statement above, that when Ml. Patton went into bankruptcy he showed losses to the amount of $8,900 which he had earned by diut of severe application to business, and commendable enterprise. Besides this, he had the misfortune to be in bad health from 1810 till 1844 which prevented him from making money and paying off much of his indebtedness. Mr. Patton has thus been compelled to bring his private affairs before the public. It lias been done reluctantly; but we are mistaken if the voters of Pennsylvania do not administer a severe rebuke to the authors and abettors of such persecutions. TESTIMONY OF JACOB M. HAL DEMAN, ESQ. AND OTHERS. Harrisburg, Sept 2, 1847. ! To the Editor of the Pa. Tel. Sir I have learned that Jos. W. Pat ton is charged by some of his political liiical opponents with defrauding his cred itors by means of the bankrupt law. Believing the charge to be unfounded and unjust, and having an intimate knowledge of the cause of his pecuniary difficulties, I have thought proper, as an act of jus tice to Mr. Patton, lo make the following statement. In 1831, I owned one-third of an Iron establishment :n Cumberland county, at which Mr. Patton had managed the year proceeding. Air.. Patton, although entire ly without capital, was induced by the solicitations, and liberal offers of assis tance from the owner of the other two thirds of the property, (who was anxious to have his services in the management of the concern,) to purchase my interest for $22,750, besides agreeing to pay my share of the debts then owing by the con cern. Some time after making the pur chase, he discovered that the owner was very much involved in pecuniary difficul ties, and lhat it would most likely involve himself and prevent him from paying for the property. He expressed a wish to sell out, but did not succeed m getting a purchaser. 1 advised him to go on and do the hpst he could. The next year his partner failed, and from that time Mr. Patton carried on the works himself un der many difQculties and embarrassments untill the fall of 1835 when lie failed. I then stated to him that if he would pay me a balance of S150 of unpaid interest, I would take hack the real property and release him entirely which he was not a ble to do. He paid me while he held the proper ty, the yearly interest on the purchase money; (excepting the SI 50,) $2,750 on account of the principal, and a portion of the debt due by the concern when he purchased. His personal property was sold for the benefit of oiher creditors, and t.ie real estate was bought by me at Sheriffs sale for about ttttlve thousand dollar cat than he icas to pay me for if. In 183U he paid me the balance of interest due at the lime he failed, and I then told him 1 would give him a release at any time he wished. It appears that as the judgments were still unsatisfied, he thought that it necessary to return the amount of twelve thousand dollars in his stulemeni of liabilities, ulthough I never intended unking him to pay!. Air.! ration was young and encrcrctie, and easi ly led lo embrace an opportunity, as he ana as l thought it ol rising, m the world. Unfortunately it turned out very different ly from his expectations, when he enter ed into the concert Mr. Patton came to live with me upwards of. twenty years ago, a young man, and assisted me in carrying on my Iren works, milling and farming for several years. can stale with pleasure that J never had in my employment a man icith tohom I teat better pleased, and cheerfully ice my testimony as to his industry', sobriety, integrity and qualifications for busi ness. ' : ? J. M. HALDEMAN, v Carlisle, Sept 7 1847. This is t3 certify that when Jos.' W. Patton failed, 1 was liable for him to the g"Q"Pt of about two thousand dollars, from which I jras relieved by the sale of his personal property, with the exception of about sir.y dollars, which he paid rue some Ve.irl aflpr? onil Afern(t in my political opinions with Air. Patton, iconsiuer u oue to nun to say tnat uis conduct towards me was hizhfy honor i'M: '::y, f ; WAX; MOORE.: AIillerstown, Sept 6, 18 17. - When Joseph W. Patton failed in busi ness he was indebted lo the firm of J, D. Paxtoo & C. aboet eleven hundred dol lars. He made several payments on ac count, amounting tO about NINE HUNDRED dollars', and Tenv'n? a balance unpaid of two hundred doiiirs. Knowing. that the! means of paying his debts should be ac quired by his personal exertions, I think he : merits praise for what he his done, rather than censure because he has not been able to pay alL , J.D. PAXTON. ; Adams County, Sept. 7, 1847. This is certify that when Joseph W; Patton failed in business, he was in mv debt for haaling wood, '', That he made payments at different times, on account both before and f ince he took the benefit of the Bankrupt Law, until the whole amount was paid. ED WARD WARREN. SmrPEXsnuRG, Sept. 4, 1847. This is to certify that whea Joseph W. Patton failed ia busiaess, he was largely in my debt That since then he has made me frequent payments, amounting altogether to about fifteen hundred dollars. One or two payments was made shortly after he received the benefit of the Bankrupt Law.. He is still con siderably in my debt. I have always had confidence in Air. Patton's disposi tion to pay his debts whenever he twoald be able to do so, and that confidence has been strengthed by tlie fact of his making payments when nothing compelled him to do so, honesty. but his own uoxon and PAUL MARTIN. Suitpensburg, Sept 4, 1847. This is to certify that Jos. W. Patton was about sixty dollars in my debt when he failed in business. That about two or three years after when I was preven ted by bad health from attending to my business. I sent my account against him to a friend, lo whom he paid the full amount. Although differing from Air. Patten in ray pol't cal opinions, 1 deem it due to him to thus certify to his honora ble conduct towards me. L. K. DONAVAN. This is te certify that when Jos. W. Patton received the benefit of the Bank rupt Law, he owed me fifty dollars. That since then he made me several pay ments until the whole, (with the excep tion of one dollar) has been paid; the last payment being made on the 21st Februa ry, 1816. I may add that I had been of fered forty dollars for my claim but re fused it, believing in the honor and hon esty of Air. Patton, and that he would pay whenever it was in his power. I have not been disappointed. I have gene rally voted with the Democratic party. JOHN BUTTS. AIary Ann Furnace, Sept. 4, 1817. I I do certify that when Jos W. Patton received the benefit of the Bankrupt Law he was considerably in my debt for coal ing wood. That since then he has made me three payments on account and I have confidence that Mr. Patton, will pay me the whole whenever he may be able to do so. . JOHN BAXTER, Franklin County, Sept 4, 1847. This is W certify that since Jos. W. Patton received the benefit of the Bank rupt Law he has paid part of what he owed me, and I rely on Air. Patton's promise to pay me more whenever he could do so. JOHN HORNISII. . Papertown, Sept. 7, 1847. This is to certify that when Joseph W. Patton received the benefit, of the Bank rapt Law he was indebted to me That since then, about two years ago, he paid me fifty dollars on account and that he has made me another payment, since; a bout one half of the debt being paid. ; AIATTHEW AIOORE.
