It is now ahoy!, twenty-ono years, since

ty have been rutty recognized in the nomi- (
nation of any of hFr citizens. for Congress.—
The Hon. Wm. -Mier, deceased, was the
last; and this 13cciirred in the, year 1880'
During this long period, our sturdy and
faithful Democracy have been fighting man;
fully, for whoever received the nomination,
although . .oftentimes a seeming, if not a to
tal disregard for our preferences have bebn
manifested by ear neighboring countics,ln
the Distriot. This county, until very rot
centlyi i has always given largo l i Democrpttet
majorities, and this unpleasant feature of
being thrust, aside so frequently, may per
haps be answered most consistently in the
fact, that a spit it of unfairness has been ex
ercised toward us. This has been the case
on more thiin one occasion both in regard to
SenatOrial. and Congressional nominations.
Centre
. counts is entitled at the present
time, by every consideration that is fair aid
honorable, to have her: claims' fairly •nd
properly considered in our next Congres
sional Convention. This is not only due her
by virtue of a rightful prerogative, but it is
due to the interest of the Democratic jriarty
in the District.
Two years ago Mr. Halo received a large
majority in this county, and 119 success may
be attributed to sonic extent at least, ho an
apathy on the part of Democrais who be
lieved that the Convention' had not properly
considered het claims upon that body La
boring under this impression, the Democrats
in many instances felt hut little inclined to
wink, and the result Iraq eXpenenced wt the
tart that no thorongb organization could be
accomplished,( (3i= any party machinery he
unite ettectnal In our strongest Drmo
crane townships, the vote f II short about
four hundred, and the result was not wholly
unexpected,
We do not allude to this matter intending
nny disre,peet to the Hon White,

affairs would have produced a different re-

The prolemed object of this movement is,
it is alleged. to nominate a pure Douglas
Electoral Ticket,. The great and special
purpose of it, 'however, is to prevent the
election of Foster and throw the Electoral
vote of Pennsylvania to Lincoln and-Hamlin.
Forney has bargained with his Abolition
masters in Congress to do what he can to
effect this and this bogus Convention is one
of the means to that end
Forney has already broken .ground not

State Committee, but 41191 Roinst Foster --
Ile sees that Foster's election in October
would till powerfully against the Abolition

to prevent it. if possible.
