The tvnimenication,•it appears, 'Was first taken to the Reporter office forpubll cation, but on being refused admis sion into the columni of that paper, was taken to the Examiner office, where it now appears. ' Private' ad vices from that County were us that. the communication wits inspired by Mr. McCracken, late Senatorial can didate, but thatlt is given to the pry as the production of a -Mr. Templeton, a Atepublim, and a resi dent of Washington Borough.

The writer in the 7.'raminer claims That the investigation was Improper ly conducted, and ((liege; that the facts In the else, Instead of being brought to the light by the commit tee. were studiously suppressed on zw count of tbeii"lrrelevreacy.' 12e . rson ally,we know nothing of what occur red before that committee; nor are we competent to say whether the author of theeonamunication in the Examin er gives a true or a false history of Its proceedings, but in our opinion, he seizes upon the irrowg line to make them public. If ever they were wor thy of pttb_lientionitt all, they should have b a l to - the public bu rned' iliVeommittee pub lished their report. To wait four weeks, when we were hurrying on 'to the October election, looks as if the writer might be intent upon accom plishing something else than the ad vancement of Republican principles or the succe of the *publican can didates. One of three things is clear ly his objective point : He is either desirous of bringing about the with drawal of Mr. Buten as the Sena torial candidate, or he is laboring to secure his defeat, or ho Ls aiming to vindicate Mr.McCracken's reputation for truth and veracity. The election is too near at hand now to take Mr Rutan off and put some one else of the ticket. Swapping horses while crossing a streatit, or changing coa manders after the battle has begun, hardly ever works well, and we ap prehend that doing so now would not be an exception to the rnle. Mr. Rutan's defeat and the election of a Democrat, If that Is the writer's purpose, is a project that but few Re publicans can afford to assent to, much less to give it support. The Pennsylvania Senate Is quite close, and the State Is to be re:districted next winter. If the Republicans luso the Legislature, the Democrats will so act on that question as to' give - them the control of 'Our Legislature for years to (lane. All . Republicans would regret such an event, but their regrets will come'at a timewheffit is too late to reniedy it. Let- us see then that after the October election we haven() political sins of omission or coninaiFsion like this to answer for. If it is s,ought to vindicate Mr. MeCnicken'sreputation for truth and veracity, we have only to regret that the attempt I's made at this time. After the election—When the battle .has been fought and won—Mr. M. should have every !Utility afforded him of putting himself right before the Repuldknus of the 2Gth Senutorl- al district: No one is more anxious to see him do this than the writer. Un- til then, however, we would gladly 81.0 the matter dropped, and our un divided strength marshalled in sup port of the whole Republican ticket. GEN: J. A.

It occurred in this way. i Senator Bil lingfelt,' of that county,; who . was a candidate for re-nomination, did his utmost in the Semite last winter to defeat the plundering seliemes of the "TreaSury Ring." This ring could nether forget nor forgive his conduct . on' that occasion. Hence when he an nounced himself as a candidate for re.nonitation a few weeks ago the 1 plunderers living ltr different 'parts of the State, started "after him," in tent upon his defeat, knowing full well that with him in the Senate next winter the unexpended balance 1 1 question would receive such an air ing as it had not yet obtained. This is Just what the ring did not desire, and the reason why they- put forth such herculean efforts to defeat him, and nominate some supple tool In his stead. Money, it is alleged, was Mr- fished by the ring and freely used to compass his defeat. • But It all would not do. The people stood by him, and nominated him in spite of the ring and their ill-gotten money.

Allegheny county Deunocrat, familiarly called "Benton Kerr" was rather roughly used in the County Conyention of the Dem ocratic party of Allegheny county, held a few weeks ago.

Mr. Kerr, responds to that appointment, in this way through the "Pittsburgh . Gazelle, a • Republican paper : . .

SENATOR Moirrox, In his speech at Wilmington, Ohio, a few days ago; put the awe thus tersely, In his re ference to the two politiesl parties of the country : "Of the two partits now appealing for popular support; ono proudly points to its record; the other im plores the past to be forgotten. One expects confidence to be placed in Its promises fur the future, because of its conduct in the days gone by; the other asks to be trusted on its simple professions, regardl of the lesson of experience. Demoeracy retains its old character and instincts, yet asks that the fruits of its faith during. a great national crisis shalt be yet kept 'ourefithilitil It dOeiticillitvotre plemres at'lliemoiNbutinvites the Nesting olOtivion. - ' = THE two great parties in this State have not yet Wyly opened the con test Ibr Governor; and it is evident that the tiemocrats intend to do their work without much noise. Mep who operate chiefly with money in elections avoid all other arguments. In filet, they hive so little to say for theinselves that they fear the field of reason. - They court discusslons. They, live by the exhibition and vin dication of their record. They must not, therefore,' allow themselves to be deluded by a silent `'campaign. The more public their efforts, the mire active their canvassers and om tors, the better for themselves.—Phil. Pow. "Should there be Democrats, whose mental organization or temper does not permit them to. recognize ex isting facts, orconform their action to great popular changes, let them, for, the public good, abdicate leader ship, and leave the energies of the people free to act in the line of life and program."—Gen. Rosecran's let ter declining Me Democratic nornina lionfor Gov. q/ Ohio. We had no idea that there was so much either of wisdom or waggery in Gen. Rosecrans as this letterevin• me. Resenting a nomination -which was the worst of insults to a man of proved patriotism and of true Demo cratic principle, ho has made his re ply in a form that bears dignity throughout, and yet stings with the sharpness of its scomful rebuke in every world. The Pendietons and Val landighams, repudiators and Cop perheads, who coarselly affronted a loyal soldier by their patronizing advances, have: received the kick which they proVoked, delivered most genteely, but from a vigorous and angry foot. • - l&said that there is any amount of Democratic disaffection In the. east ern portion of the State. The rank and file of the Democratic party in Luzerne, Berks and Lycoming open ly denounce Packer, because of his refusal, in 1851, to support Judge Campbell,. who Was then the, Demo cratic candidate for Supreme Judge. Packer sturdily opposed Campbell, bemuse the latter was a Roman MA elk, and as sturdily supported his whig competitor, Judge Coulter be muse he was not a Roman Catholic: Again in 1855 Packer boltisl the nom fruition of George R. Barrett, the regular nominee of the Deinecridie party for Judge of the Carbon, Wayne Sce., Judicial district, and supported John S. Bell, the favorite candidate of the Know Nothings for that office. If Packercould thus treat the reru, - tor nominee ,of his party, at the time.; referied to, he,hasclearly little to complain of now, if he receives similar treatment himself while be fore the people 'of Pennsylvania for its executive chair. STATE POLITICS. Packer, who was. re . ported worth twenty millions it results i s only worth twelve. There is much dis gust among the Democracy. Mr. Packer will gain but little upon his party in the Lehigh Valley, and will run behind his ticket in his own borough t of Mauch Chunk. Tun attack upon Mr. Beiniont by the New York Tammanyitos is a tine commentary on the loud Demo cratic peoftsions of friendship to the Jews. Packer handed over to the Demo cratic State Committee a first instal ment of $lOO,OOO for etunpaign pur poses, last week. lie will have to ralso•his stake several times within the next six weexl4 to be elected. If the nomination of Judge Packer is sufficient to raise the price of coal fr 2 per ton, how high a figure will it reach if he should beelected? Labor ing men-are interested in knowing- Asa Packer's profits as a stockhol der of the Lehigh Valley Railroad, arising from the recent advance of tolls upon that road on anthracite coal, are MOOO per annum. The in crease of toll has advanced the price of coat one dollar per ton in Phila delphia. The coal question is one of those which the workingmen will bring to defeat Packer. Ile is at the head of a great coal monopoly and carry ing company, and will not in a sin gle Instance represent or favor a claim that can only justly be made by the asses of his region. ' . SrscE RosecianS retired from the Democratic platform, the Pennsyl vania . Democrats are felicitating themselves at their escape from Han cock, who, had he accepted thpir nomination, would have been sure to show he was ashamed of their rec ord. Sixty times was Major Cieu. John NV: Geary under fire, and he was never defeated when in command. In one of the fiercest battles. of the war his first-born son was shot down near him but he never faltered. Ilis field service was of the 'hardest kind from the opening of the war to its "close. How reads Ma Packer's rec ord? The Democratic press throughout the State is urgingrne election of a ,DemocratieLegislature on theground of reform and retrenchment in the expenses of the State government. But the record of that party in the last Legislature, and particularly on the question of increasing the salaries of the members to $1; ro) is against all economy in the administration of State affairs. On the motion to in crease the compensation of member( to $1;500 a session, the record stands thus : (if the sixty-two Republican members of theß ()use, twelve, less than one-iifth, voted aye. Of the thlrty-eight Democratic members, sixteen, almost one-half, voted aye. currently reported, though the report lacks confirmation, that the working men of the eml regions will oppose the election of Abu Pack er,,on the • grounds that he Is; a "Bleated Bondholder ;" that he is a railroadFmonopolist ; that he is in fa vor of high rates of transportation on his railroad, without being will ing to Increase, proportionally, the wages of labor ; that he was a rebel sympathiser throughout the late re bellion; and because he is the expo nent of that aristocratic Democracy of the school of Jefferson Davis, which doeS not believe In the capa bility of the people to govern them selves. For these and many other reasons„ it is confidentially asserted that ouelaboring men will not vote for ' TUE Democracy in Philadelphia .

Pack er, as Mc3iullin claims owes his nomination to him and his tbilowers, and the' one hundred thousand doll ars sop thrown out at the State coti ventioo having &km spent some time ago, they are getting up a re volt because their candidate does not "shell out" as he promised. Packer it is reported, has ..concluded to act hinisell'as treasurer of the campaign fund, not deeming it oroper to plat* his funds In the hands of the Stige Committee to be distributed among a few.

That these laws should be the fewest and simplest possible, leaving the ut most individual freedom of thought and action consistent with equal rights and impartial Justice, and where individual action must be reg ulated by law, seeking always "the, greatest l good to the greatest 'ntn-' This is the democracy I believe in, and to which I am proud to belong. No local declaration inviting it pop ular prejudgment of the legal ques tion about the terms of payment of the National bonds shouldimpair the prieele value of the public creel. it nt a time when it is important' to create the speediest means of ridding the country of these enormous op pressions, but every Democratic plat form should tend to raise higher and: higher the public credit, and to satis 4. the people of Europe that the Democratic is the last party In the United States that proposes to whine or act reluctantly about paying the public debt, even though present hol ders shouhl !MVO bought It below its fair value. 2. An irredeemable paper currency; or one perpetually fluctuating in val. ue, is a gigantic fraud on-the. people concentration of the evils of false weights, false measures, and worse, injurious to all classes,, but especially, to those who livti by labor. The Democracy should assert, with renewed vigor and . determination, its-old declaration in favor of a specie basis and a paper currency, converti ble at par Into coin at the will of the holder, and should take prompt and efficacious measures to raise our bonds to where the security they offer and the interest they bear ought to place them, so as to draw greenbacks after them to Tar, with the least possible _delay. This will relieve all -clamel, especially the laboring, and, aug menting the valuation of our circula tion 21 per cent.; give a healthy And vigorous impulse to every depart ment of business -an industry. s o * * _AVlnksoever obtains votes under false preten.s is u baser knave than he who obtains goods under false pro-, tenses, and, on account of the, grea ter diffictilty of detecting and . meas uring the evil done, deserves severer punishment and reproNition. *• • . 7. The I)emocratie doctrine of suf frage requires distinct reaffirmation. Democracy has always held that suffrage is not a natural right of every human being, nor of a particular sex or race, but a particular privilege, -curd who shoultlexercise it a question to be decided by what will produce "the greatest good to the greatest number," and therefore as far as pos sible, to be determined locally, where lies the great body of the right, of the people. i But in these local discussions the Democratic idea favors a broad !nth, er than a narrow basis of suffrage. It is not unromindful or regardless of the rights of woman, of property,and inferior races • but seeing other effete tive and advantageous ways in which these can have their influence on all legislation affecting their interests, at present It,perfers giving the right of voting to manhood and qualifica tions, which will tend to create bonds of political brotherhood between the rich and poor, based on mutual inter-, eats, and to avert conflicts between capital and labor. The caucus system, invented by the Democracy as a. practical way of finding out who is a proper person to be voted for where a constituency Ls too large to know each other per sonally, and in spite. of its glaring imperfections and corruptions new adopted by all parties, should be im proved by the Democracy and 'care fully regulated by wise provisions of law.
