Cartin’s nomination was achieved in the
midst of a great opposition, showing that a
large minority of his own party are against
him, and a proposal to make his nomination
unanimous, was received with groans and
hisses. [How different from the nomination

Burrside and Infamy.
No soidier, perhaps, in the North-
ern ary, has covered himself with so much
infamy 88 General Ambrose E, Burnside.
Since the complete whipping which he re-
ceived at Fredericksburg, at the hands of
Gen. Lee, his temper seems to have soured,
and his career since then has been raught
buta series of pctty tyrannies and con-
temptible acttons. His last achievement,
smce the arrest of the noble Vallandigham
1s the carrying of the Kentucky election for
the black republicans, by suppressing Dem-
ocratic votes at the point of the bayonet,
Our blood boils when we read the accounts
of the unholy way in which this result was
brought about, and we wonder that it can
be any longer tolerrted. We have heard it
said that Gen. Burnside was a Demoorat.
We should blush to own him, Heis a
sneaking sychoyhant and fawper st the
footstool of black republican power, and
his name should stink in the nostrils of
every man who loves truth, justice or lib-
erty. Clothed in the authority of a Major
General of a Department, Burnside imagi
himself to be all powerful, and t
arything he-may say or do, is at once
counted a “traitor” ora *‘rabel,” and trea
ed with contumely and scorn and persona
indignity.
If there could be a baser act than the ar-
rest of Vallandigham, than Burnside’s in-
terference with the Kentucky clections is
that one. His act was that of the :
oppressive tyranny, and men were knocked
down and hooted away from the polls by
hig armed minions because they would not
vote the Administration ticket.

The Louisyilie Democrat of Wednesday
is received, and is filled with evidences that
the Democrats throughout the State were
prevented from voting by General Burn-
side’s soldiers. Says the paper:
“We are glad to know that some ef the
strongest administration men look gloomily
at the manner in which the Stata election
was managed. No man who has any re-
gard for the rights of States can make any
defense or apology for it. Let those rejoice
in success who can rejoice over an election
supervised at Washington. We have vari-
ous authe ccounts of the suppression of
votes in different places; but we shail try
to avoid any statements not anthamicated.
The plain truth is, the people of this Stale
were disfranchised and deprived ef the right
to vote according to the constitution and
laws of the State. The les taught 1s

the inquiry. 1 is no election, is the re-
mark of men who have always stood firmly

so the voter was diiven cway without voting

he requested to vote for Menzies instead of

Another was treated the same way because
he preferred Richardson to Benton,
But, Mr, Editor, the most shameful act of
all was the knocking down of an old gentle-

the same right he so often had before exer-

thought best. Such incidents occurred at
all the polls, and such as I can prove. The
result is as was expected. In a ward that
has formerly polled hundreds of D.moeratic
votes, only eighteen haye been polled this
election. Still it is a glorious victory.

an honor to be an American, we considered

To the Democracy of Centre County.
Fellow Democrats of Centre County: —No
doubt you are aware of the fect that some
persons have been circulating a report that
Iwas not a sound and reliable Democrat—I
presume with the intention of lowering me
E Roan, O P Hassihger, J Meise, Charles
elcetion, it will be my fourteenth annual
any but onr regu'ar Democratic nominees,
except last fall, when I voted for James T.
Hale, as you very well know the most of
us did, and I defy any man, let him be who
he may, Republican or Democrat, to show
me anything to the contrary, or point out
a Single act that ever I did, in politics cor-
trary to sound Democratic principles ; and
solongas such persons circulating such
reports, are not able to do this m a public
manner, or authenticate the above report to
be true, T consider them to be my enemies
trying to injure my political character, in-
stead of doing the party a: service ag they
pretend to do by cautioning the Democrats
not to go for me (as they say] you might
be deceived again as you had been by for-
mer persons filling that office—and would
look at them to be persons circulating false
reports, with the intention of injuring their
fellow men. I do not wish to stand misrep-
resented befere the peopla of Centre county.
Let all things be done fairly and honestly
is my motto.
J. G. MEYER.
Whereas, It seems that certain persons
have been canvassing the county, circulating
a report that our friend and neighbor, Mr.
J. G. Meyer, was a doubtful Democrat,
Therefore, we the undersigned, do hereby
certify that the above report is entirely
false, that we have been intimately ac-
quainted with Mr. Meyer for a number of
years and have always known him to be a
sound, firm and unflinching Democrat, and
do now respectfully recommend him as such
to our fellow Democrats of Centre county.
