The allegation, that no man is able to set
as Clerk for $BO, is simply a falsehood. We
know Mr. Kealsh—knew him heroic we came
here as bearing the reputation of ono of the
best bookkeepers in the state ; and therefore
it is net reasonaLle - to 'suppose that he would
make a proposal to do work at • loosing

—and like an, honest man, - ho niade
thinking that they would be honest re

grevious fault of being a sound 'Democrat

that which was offered to be done for $BO.

would necessarily arise from the supervision
of a Democratic Clerk, would amide the peo

doubt this, will be convincsd of its truth, by
examining the conduct of the Commissioner
at their last meetiok. We have the record
in our favor, Tho'bid for the clerkship, was
reasonable and honorable—backed by suffi
cient security, and made -by otinwhose abili
ties are admitted by all who kiibw him. We
stand by Put bid—and demand that the Com
missioners hold the Hundred dollar, or
a dollar less" mauls to their proposal. They,
are bound by every sense of honer, every
usage and 'principle, to do the work for
Thirteen Dollars—and even at that price, if
they eetatoese• to earn- their-bread - by-the

is to make an honest living.

ivas in-the of Saying tti hitionfldential

ihr-l-but a parson, in Parlitunent, brings
ho Ii disgra4o onial religion and confusion
to iris constituents." Cromwell was a stern
advocate ofiviiiihr-e-yot he carefully rein
ded from the lirisfitnretf )ii domain, all
who had espoused a holy cause, and frowned
I upon that map, who tor the purpose of polit
ical elevation Mal profit, sacrificed his clerical
calling to the beli(:sts of cliques and parties.
-Thera are men who imitate Cromwell, even
at thirtate day—anti they are the men V.llO
are now most active in denouncing the deep
duplicity of the Veverend John J. Pearce.
lie was elected to
,Ccmgress to represent the.
interestii -of his COstituants, and not the
prejudiced of a ellque. Mit his whole Petit..
iced career has trio *achy as to prove_all we
have heretoforetblished in regard to fan;
and it is corrob rated by the.teeming"
uning - tif the organsof his own party.- When
John J. Pearce/ first otkretl- Iltmself w, a!

ho discovered that the honest Democracy of
the Thirteenth Congressional District would
repudiate him,„ he 'was ready to violate his
promise, and bey:moan indepetidenteandi

were so prmarious, tbiat he was compelled i l
to allow himself to be dragged from the ss

with them—sworn' to use every dishonorable
them-nil° ithbrert the constitutional rights of
the adopted citizen. and his descendants.
With this iTitrobaction t we will attempt n
review of the Reverend John J, Pearce's
IlliolOgy to his comeituents for aria
late die
graceful conduct teethe Howe of Represen

(badly as they arc ~,eritten) the real &large
W. 1 ,1 have male agyinst him, and in his at
tempts to clear himmlf of the odium attach
ed to his name, he ileitis our contempt, and
exposes his deceit. -The real charge against
4014 J. Pearce, was, that.he engaged is the
liminess of ‘litteltAining Ibr/efri Honks. We
proved, from the record, and by the admis
sion he' made on the floor of, the House of
Roarcientatives, that he offered a bribe to a
colleague ; that ho was employed to buy
TOtti,ml thid_ho Was guilty_ of taischOod.
When interrogated upon these charges—he
declared on his honor that the/ werikfalse—,
1 but when pressed to the wall, he admitted
that he did offer a bribe, but it was done" in
a playful manner. Pity that he conld not
be recalled, to do his playing at home.
We have no disposition to wade through
the fallacies of the "Ftisllys" and "Second
