Fuljict to tU dceiiiun if a National Convention
TO THE PUBLIC.
I observed some weeks since in the
"Somerset Weekly Visitor,' a resolution
purporlir.g to have been adopted at a De-Ejocr-liw
County meeting, with fome re
marks an.br the editorial had of that pa
per, both designed, as appeared from their
import, to injsrs me ia the estimation of
inv fellow citizens, before whom I am a
candidal for the cflice of County Trea
f ;:rer. Though not aware that I had pro
voked by my conduct, either toward the
pr.-t:s compos-mg the meeting or any
connected with the "Visitor," such
jratuitous attack upon civ character, I
fAl disposed to suSer them to pas unno
ticed, believing as I did that they had been
made under high political excitement, and
that ttpon sober reflection the person from
whom they hud emanated would sec the
impropriety cf his conduct. A kind
friend, who is well acquainted with the
circttmslanrcs under which I availed inv-
0
rv'.f of the Bankrupt law, put forth, wuh
ut rrirjesi from mc, a statement of facts.
Ut prercnt irisapprch:msion on the sub
ject, tnd here I had supposed the matter
xrou!d rest. , Not so, however. The as
fiuh ha 6ir.ee been renewed through the
Visitor," and in a nnnitcr more coward
ly ever, than when first made.
Under these cirenmsianres I have fdt
it due to the public as well rs my own
character, to procure such evidence as
vas nearest at hand and which might
place the matter in a true light. The an
nexed certiucates were therefore hastily
obtained aud ere now submitted to the
judgment of the public. Sundry others
of like import might have been added
had time permitted or anything more been
deemed necessarv.
I am now considerably advanced in
years, cud this is the first time in my life
that I have felt myself called upon to ap
pear before the public in vindication of
my character; end had I been as well
known throughout this county zs I am
where I have spent the greater portion of
my life, or even as I am known here in
the Borough of Somerset, I should not
.have troubled myself about the matter.-
But being personally a stranger to many
cf the citizens cf the county, and my
good name being the only legacy I have
to leave to my children, I felt that I would
be doing injustice to them were I to suf
fer it to be wrested from me.
. The emoluments of the ofliee fur which
I am a candidate, however desirable, are
nothing, ceatpared to my reputation,
which my assailants have endeavored to
fiCriHce. The good opiniou of my fel
low citizens has ever been dear to me;
snd amidst all my diaieuliies and misfor
tunes it has been a source of proud con
eolation to me to know that I have enjoy
ed it in no limited degree. I claim not to
be exempt from the frailties common to
human nature, and freely confess that I
Lave committed errors and indiscretions;
but this is the first time in my life that I
Lnow to have been charged, either pri
vately or publicly, with want cf moral
Lcr.esly, and the imputation has, 23 the
public may readily suppose, deeply woun
tied my feelings aud the feelings of my
frmlly and friend:?.
- As regards the intimation of the "Visi-
tor
thal I ought to give an exhibit to the
public
of what I had paid to my credi
tors, I have only to remark tliat my pri
vate aC"air3 arc as sacred as those of any
Mher individual, and that 1 claim the right
guarantied to every freeman of manag
ing my own concerns in my own way.
If it is due from tne to inke such cn ex
hibit, then, upon tho came principle, eve
ry candidate for ofHce should be called up
on to publish a statement el all his pro
perty and of all his debts and credits; the
absurdity of which is too manifest to re
quire comment. My business in this
respect is with my creditors, and not with
the man of the Visitor;" tnd if the in
ordinate curiosity of those who are anx
ious to know til about inv private af.
fairs has been disappointed heretofore, or
is disappointed now, I can pity their rnor
tificatioM, but cannot gratify their prying
propensities.
With the circumstances tinder which I
availed" myself of the law ia question,
public are already partly acquainted,
n id will "learn more in regard to theal
t ?.on'dy I? is therefore not ncccrrary

j undertake to decide whether it would have
been for the interest of my creditors had
I not availed myself of it. Perhaps it
would, and perhaps cot.' Nor is it now
very naterial, for ' a few . years more,
should I be farcrcd with life and health,
will probably see ' rae freed from diffi
culty. " .- . "'
Fellow Citizens : I submit the follow
ing documents' without comment.
They speak for themselves. Should you
deem them insufficient to exculpate me
from the odium which my assailants have
attempted to cast upon me, I shall bow to
yourdecision without complaint, and
shall console myself with a consciousness
of the rectitude of my purposes. On
the contrary, if they shall satisfy you, as
I doubt not they will, that I have been
undeservedly aspersed and defamed, and
you accordingly sustain me by your votes,
I shall deem it the proudest "triumph of
my life, and shall rejoice to know that in
the eyes of the intelligent and patriotic
citizens of Somerset County misfortune
is not a crime and poverty no disgrace.
I take pleasure in doing a majority of
the Democratic party in this borough the
justice to say, that they do not approve of
the conduct of the individuals who are en
gaged in this crusade against me, but con
demn it from beginning to end. Concer
ning my defamers I" have nothing to say,
save tliat I am proud to know that of the
most active of them not one bears the
character of a gentleman. Of their mo
lit cs for assailing me 1 leave the public to
judg, contenting myself with having pro-
tea, u i.ic ibiiuiuiiv ui uisiiueresif-'u anu

respectable witt:s?es, tliat their charges
against me cf dishonesty, not the less
gross because made ia a cowardly man
ner, are entirely false and unfounded.
Your follow citizen,
JONATHAN ROW.

the sons pJ General MwLle, Whig
candidule for Governor in 1841-3
Mill Grove, Sept. 27," 187.
The undersigned have observed in the
newspapers of Somerset county that the
character of Jonathan Iioir-, formerly of
our county, is assailed for want of integ
rity. Were the attack' made here, where
a
Mr. Row spent most of his lifetime, we
should not think it necessary to rive our
testimony in his behalf as being an hon- j
est man. It is true he .was unfortunate in !
his mercantile pursuits, owing partly to !
his connexion with others, and to the
pressure of the limes, and partly to his in-
ability ,on account of the failure of his eye- !
sight at the particular crisis, to attend to !
his business. Deing obliged to entrust that
business entirely to others, he in the end
became involved; which indebtedness was
the urgent cause of his taking the benefit 1
of the Bankrupt act. For years he strug
gled to pay ofT his old debts, and at the
time of availing himself of the said act
we were among his heaviest creditors, a
rising from means afforded him in' the
prosecution of the printing business while
in Grcensburgh. Of course we regretted
his failure, but saw nothing to make us
lose confidence in him as an honest man.
In proof of which we again extended to
him a liberal credit, and have the satisfac
tion of saying that our confidence was
not misplaced. Witholt sol;citatiox,
Mr. Row has, since his discharge, sent
us payments on account of the old debt,
which he owed previous to his bankrupt
cy. In conclusion we bear willing testi
mony to his honest and upright character
while a citizen of our county.

The undersigned were , well acquainted
with Capt. Jonathan Row while he resi'
ded ia Westmoreland county. lie al
ways sustained the character of 3n up
right, industrious and respectable citizen,
and filled the office of Register and Re
corder of the county with accuracy, punc
tuality, and in a manner very satisfactory
to the people. In previous years an un
fortunate mercantile connexion, in preca
rious limes, resulted in a failure; and the
pressure of the debts of. the concern en
tirely devolved upon him, so as to compel
him, like several others of both parlies in
polilicsf to avail himself of the benefit of
the Bankrupt act."- Notwithstanding his
discharge from the payment of those
debts, he engaged with renewed industry
in arduous business, laboring under a
physical infirmity (loss of sight) and ha
ting a large family to support, he succee
ded in maintaining that family respectably,
had the coitfidence of his creditors, and
tincc his bankruptcy has paid several of
them portions, and some of them in full
the debts from which he had been tits
charged. Few men have left the coun
ty more respected or so well entided to
the .confidence of the people, for indus
try, perseverance, and honesty of char
acter. - .

LOCOFOCO ATTACKS UPON COL.

Tiie Locofoco press which has teemed
for weeks in wholesale abuse of Mr. Pat
ton, because he is poor, meets with a se
vere rebuke in the following-remarks
from the Pittsburg Chronicfe, a-neutral
paper. .- That paper justly asksr . r
"Is not the humiliation which aa hon

bunded by party rancor, should at least
remember that there ve some who are
bound to the unfortunate by every sym
pathy of the human heart, and respect for
their feelings, independent of ones own
manhood, should confine villaioy itself to
at least th truth, while giving vent to feel

THE BANKRUPT LAW. .
An effort is being made by the iocofoco
press to cast the odium cf the bankrupt
law on the Whig party. When this law
was discussed iu Congress it was not
looked upon as a party measure. Many
of the leading Locofocos of both houses of
Congress advocated its passage, and none
were more zealous for its adoption than
RubU J. Walker, Mr. Polk's Secretary
of the Treasury; and it would seem that
he acted upon the principle that "charity j
begins at home from the fact, that he a
vailed himself of its provisions and was
declared himself a regularly discharged
bankrupt to the amount of something less
than a quarter of a million of dollars.
Yet Mr. Walker is the great financier of
a Iocofoco administration. It was no sin
in mm vu euuer iu.uu
1:1a cuiojs law or avau i.iui ui i
vioions ! ! We would advise the locofocos
to drop this subject; they will find that
both as a parly, or individuals, they are as
deep, if not a little deeper in the mud than
the Whirrs are in the mire. Penn. Dcm.
BRELD rs BULLETS.
The Americans having nobly supplied
food for the Irish, we shall look at their
flag with increased respect. Their stripes
shall be to us significant of a gridiron, and
their stars ol sugared buns. ' Glad are we
to find that the American subscriptions
have been so nobly acknowledged in the
House of Commons. These thanks for
bread will go far to keep bullets out of
fashion. The Indian-Meal Hook i?, to
our mind, a much more delighlful volume
than a History of the American- War;
and the directions therein written for the
composition of Hominy-cakes and Slap
jacks, far better than any talk of red-coat
tactics. Bombs have had their day; let
us henceforth try buns; and wherever A
merica has battered our ships, let her, for
all lime to come, batter our frying-pans.
