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

Leaving his own liabilities
Paid since (of which certificates
show, upwards of $3,000)

.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. ;
