Abolitionists.
•
- The desppation - to 'which the oppo
nents of the Democracy and our Repub
lic are driven inthe . present political eon
test, liTully - uatrifini the hat issue
of the shoddy organ of this county.—
They have no argument to advance in
favor of their candidate or the principle
of their mirty. They do 'not attempt
by any argument to Convince the people
that their principles are right, and that
ohm are wrong. They do r
not endeavor.
to prove themselves wo ythy .of confi
dence in the administration of public
iiffairsiuf honest men would, but resort
to the vilest vituperation and abuse or
their political opponents. Almost five
columns of their paper,was taken up with
low and vulgar attacks upon the private
and public . eharaefer of Mr. Alexander
our Candidate for Assembly, and not
one word in favor of the_ principlett of
their party can be found in the ;Whole
paper, and while they ire compelled to
that Mr. Alexander's record as a
citizen is unquestionable 'and without
spot, they insidiously endeavor to tar
nish his public reoord as a Rpresenta'-
tive of the peoPle by a resort to 'the
the most flagrant falsehoods. They ac
cuse him of having drawn, by his own
Warrant $355 as pay for services at the
extra sessipn'of Legisliture, which he
did not earn. .Let us see how this is. Mr,.
Alexander was 'not present at the extra
session, on account of severe illness
which conflned him to his room at the
time. As the law stood at the adjou'rn,-
ment of the regular session of the Legisla
ture on the sth of May last, should an
extra session be called the members
would he entitled to THREE DOL-
I,.111:4 PER DAY fir the time they
were in session. It nitt4 remembered
thAt_ there Elia_a...AkithrrisM_ltA,l4lo:2_:
in both_branclies o£ the but Legislaturs,
and that there was and is still an Abol
Rion Governor.- If therefore there has
been any ehatmelti the - laws regulating
the pay of members, the4balisionotot the
Democratic pa,rt i vt-nito,l;eticia responsf
ble. • There was a change made by the
passage of a new law ALLOWING To
EACIL AND EVERY MEMBER, THE SI3I
illltraT lit ..funin - rrottrAlts --- i - Ntfht.f- -
1)INO TIVI/ DOI.L.IRS FOR STA
TIONARY ANDTIIE USUAL MLIIE :
AGE. This law was passed by an Abo
lition Legislature and signed by an
Urnernor. Instead .of members
having the power to draw their own
warrants on the State Treasurer, as
is falsely alleg.ed:by the Press, the-speak
er of each House, by the clerks draw the
warrants which arc cashed upoh presen
tation. Instead therefore, of Mr. Aler
andel having (bairn his•mrn warrant
for three hundr,ed amid
fifty five dollqrs
IT WAS DRAWN BY AN ABOLI
TION SPEAKER, A'fTESTED BY
AN ABOLITION CLERK, on an Abol
ition State Treasurer. It was not spe
cified in the warrant how much was for
p6.y, how much for mileage nor how
much for Stationary. The aecount was
made up by an Abolition clerk of the
House without Mr. Alexander's know
ledge or consent, and the warrant drawn
and sent to him.,
Mr. Alexander neversuw the law until
long after it was passed and signed by
Gov. Curtin, which paid him. as well as
nll other members, whether jtrescnt or
absent, the sum 'or three hundred dol
lars. If he had been present at the
time Ito would have voted against the
passage of such a law, as did till the
Deniotriitie members, yet notwithstand
ing the law would have pM,seil by an ab
olition majority,,, e What, then, would
Mr. Alexander' "'presence in his seat
have effected in preventing the passage
of this law; just nothing at all, for when
the abolitionists takes it into their heads
to rob the State they generally succeed,
especially when they have a majority.
Every AboUtion /at drewhis pay whether
present o'r nut, (and it would have been
better had they all been absent.), They
drew pay for services that it would haves
been better they had never rendered.
Every Abolition member drew pay for a
whole session, including• the extra pay
voted themselves, amounting to over one
thousand dollars. And what was the
service rendered? Would it not have
been better had they all been absent.
Mr. Alexander's services wore worth more
to the people of the State than the Bey
vices of the whole fifty-two
members, and why should hft,not receive
'as much pay as any One of thorn? The
truth of- the matter is, the Republicans
dare not arraign hint before the people
for one single vote cast during the whole
session. They can not point to one single
act in which lib 'neglected his duty ; they
are compelled to admit, as did the Har
risburg Telegraph, that ho was one of
the most faithful and industrious mem
bers of that body.
In coat union we have simply to say,
that if an member of the Legislature
was entitled to this three hundred dol
lars aura pay. it was Mr. Alexander,
as he, during the session .of last winter,
put in more days in thy actual service of
the State, than did any, member of Oat
bedT,inelhding the extra Session. Mr.
Alexander wasyttayt in his seat (never
'faring missed a session during the whole
winter) attending aithfully•to the inter
ests of his constituents, and we again
,repeat, that if an member was entitled
to pay be WM.
Stephen F. Wilson,. the indepen
dent abolition candidate for Congress,
represented his Senatorial bistriet in
the State Senate the last session, and is
caarged"rith ONLJUNGHIS VOTE on SOP
dial occasions. 40 is one of the men
that Voted themselvenihree hundred and
fifty fire donars exiraipay for the extra
session which lasted but seventeen days.
Why They Oppose' Him.
The eboddy organ, up town 'semi to
be terribly exercised because Mr. Alex
ander, our candidate for Assen;bly, was
a_Lioor• bcg and Was comkelledi to
earn an bones living by the sweat bf his
brow. It speaks disrespectfully of him
because he once worked on a farm and in
an ore bardt, and for Wit reason-uldne,
considers him disotialified from hol&iieg
office. Mr. Alexander, unaided; by.
wealth', has fought his own way to his
prefent position in society, and kriows
and understands the feelings and wants
of •poor men, and, as a roprtsentative,.
will guard their interests. He was not,
like his competitor, Henry• Foster, born
with a silver spoon in his mouth, but of
honest parents, whose only tirimf in these
days of, shoddy, is, they were not rich.
Workingmen of Centre county, can you
support a party which, through' its or
gan, proclaims a man unfit to hold office
because he is poor and one wooed upon
a farm and in an ore bank? Can you
support this shoddy aristocracy whielt
composes the mass of the abolition party
and Who look upon labor as dishonorable?
Can yon support a party that tells
you that because of poverty you are unfit
to hold office ? Can you longer vote with
a party whose leaders having become
glutted with wealth during the progress
.of this war proclaim themselves the
aristocracy or the land, and because they
are rich and you poor, that you are un
worthy of confidence? Such, laboring
men of Centre county, is the abolition
party, and if you continue them in power
they will soon have laws rgiuiring a
property qualification to entitle you to
vote. Give them another lease of power
and they will next tell you that because
Cu labor for a living yon'are not fit to
vote Assist limn to office again and
ak • •
If_ssui_would strengthen the hands of
those who will not recognize yuu,
be
cause you labor for a living): vote for the
kid-gloved aristocracy—for the party
that says n man should not be elected to
an office brea use he toothed on a farm anti
in an ore talk. The Democratic party
has always been the friend of the labor
ing classes. The greater part of its mem
bEts - tird workirtg --men;mut-tcr-tr,--the
, homiest musses must look for protection.
Its representatives are not made up of
the aristocracy that attempts to crush
the poor Alum to the earth. They are not
bloated with "greenbacks" or apers of
European customs., Let the laboring men
remember thiswhen they go to lie polls on
Tuesday next and cast their votes for the
Democratic candidates.

the voters of this Congressional Dis

' ages, who took care of thdir pockets and

KNHWS NO1"I'llE WISHES OR WANTS OF
THE VOTERS or CENTRIECOENTY. He is
the representative of a lucre ftetion of
men in Tiogn county who have kicked the
Republican organization overboard, and
swear that th y will control the district
"in spite of hell itself." 411„gix Man
ners. their customs and their interests
are directly the opposite of those of the
people of thbotart of the district, and
we have no right tO expect that their can
didate will stand by us in preference to
the people of his own section. We
might as well be represented by a citizen
of the State of Maine, as by a full
fledged Tioga county politician ; he
knows or cares for nothing but his own
preftrtuent, or the particular interests of
afew particular men in his particular
neighborhood. The people of. Centre.
Clinton and Lycoming counties will not
be represented in Congress if Stephen
F. Wilson succeeds in being ;fleeted. He
ladmits that he is the candidate of Tioga
county alone, and that the counties on
this side of the mountain need expect .
nothing from him if successful. Will the,
honest voters, those who hare the inter
ests of their own section at heart, vote
for such a candidate? He has made
himself sectional by his actions and
words, and let the voters of this section
remember him as they should on Tuesday
meat. Mr. Wright, the Democratic
nominee, is a man from our midst, ac
quainted with the necessities and wants
of our people, and, if elected, will repro
sentthent, as well as the peoplo of the
upper counties.

Wm. A. Wallace of Clearfield, the Dem

S. S. Blair and Archibald BieCallister
were the opposing candidates of their re
spective parties for Congress. Hall be
ing an adept. at politital trickery; it is
charged, succeeded in making a bargain
with some of McAllister';' friends for
an exchange of rotes—and carried out
the arrangonient so well as to reduce
Blair's majority in the county to sonic
two hundred and eighty votes, whilst
Hall's majority wt_ki over seventeen bun •
dred--defeating Blair, and electing Mc-
CaUister. For this result—Mr Blair's
friends hold Hall responsible, and (lur
ing the last summers contest for Con

Republican organ in that county
fished some serious . charges against Hall

organs. "In the issue of that paper of
