Newspaper Page TextThe Beaver Argus. J. WIT AND. SDITOR AID PRO/RECTOR. Beaver. Pa... Sept: 18th, 1572. GOVENOR Curtin's political status has been finally ascertained: He is a Liberal Republican, and has been placed before the voters of Pennsyl vania as a candidate for Delegate at Large to the constitutional conyen tion, by the Liberal Republican State Committee. An address to the people of the State, signed by committee referred to, will be ,fou in another column of the ARGUE., , An additional article copied from `Forney's Preis, and headed "Curtin Against the Ring," is also copied and win be seen in another column. The Grant Republicans of Centre county had previously and unsolicited by him, conferred the nomination for l'ongrts upon him. This nomina -1 ion po-has declined in a public letter; his acceptance as a Liberal Republic an candidate for the Constitutional Convention, and his 'election is cer tain. It is understood that there is a vacancy,by resignation in the Dem ocratic ticket for Delegate at Large to the Constitutional Convention.— Governor Curtin's name will doubt less till this vacancy. This accession to the Liberal ranks will equal ten thous. and votes, and makes Hartranft's de feat doubly sure, MAJ. GE N. J. B.SWEITZEU, a gal ' taut and accomplished soldier was some time agoappointed Chief Mar, shall of the Soldier's gathering to be held at Pittsburgh, this week. This appoirAtnent did not suit the' Trea sury Ring; hence they chopped off ' sweitzer's head,and arranged the pro gramme so that flartranft would be in command. This is evidently in tended to revive his waning pros pects, but it will fail in its purpose. , for the people have made up their , _minds that official corruption shall not be rewarded by higher honors. WE. wish every readier of the Att- Gus to give the article on one of it; .inside pages this week, headed "H.artranft's guilt," a careful study. It is copied from F'orney's Press the _most effective Grant paper in Penn- Sylvania and gives the letters,figures arid affidavits touching Hartrunft's speculations with the State funds, in so direct a manner, that none will fail to understand them. The man who can vote for Hartranft after this expose would have no compunctions of conscience in voting for Wilihun M. Tweed for any office to which he might itspire. HAnTRANyr lobbied for the nine million bill, Harrison Allen voted fur it, the Cameron ring, including the /Harrisburg Alegraph, supported It, and Charles 8.. Buckalew opposed il. Yet the ring champions of Hartranfi now have the brassiness-of cheek to 'assert that the nine million bill will be revived by Mr. Buckalew's elec- , tioo. Such recklessness indicates a „,--.4-- E .itite panic in the camp of the 'Cameron • Cas ‘ been- renominated for senator in spite of the most strenuous opposi tion of Naval Heistand and theientlre ring. Burkholder and Mylin, both of whoni are pledged to oppose the llection of Senator Cameron and State Treasury Mackey, are nomina ted for the legislature. This Is the most severe blow that the ring has received in this campaign. In Lan caster enmity they have hitherto, by cunning nianipnlation of the delegate elections and the free use of money, generally succeeded in securing mem bers of the legislature in their inter imt. But this time they were com pelled- to confront a people who are thoroughly aroused, and every man whowas suspected of a taint of Cam erotrisin has been defeated, This del egate election in Lancaster county is one ofihe most significant and en couraging signs in PelMSyivania. It shows that the insolent power of the Cameron riug is fast melting under the indignation of a people who have become amused to the defence of their true interests and their honor. Patriot WE - have yet to see any respectable "newspaper in Pennsylvania, or hear any reputable orator, assume3hat charlerceit. Bucitalew is a dishonest or untruthful roan. in Tact both ot these classes of public teachers tacitly admit that his private habits and public character are above reproach. Not only this, but his most violent political opponents are willing to agree that he is a liberal, stile, ex perienced statesman, and a gentle man who would fill thetiubernatori al chair with wisdom, dignity, and benefit to the State. On the other hand, General Hart rant, is regarded by at least three. fourths of the people of the State as • loose in his official transactions. 'They believe that he was either a 'Principal in the Evans fraud himself or too stupid to detect that villain and his confederates while they were prowling through the vaults of the State Treasury. They belie ve th at white Auditar General of _the State he either gambled with State stocks himself or permitted others to do so, and shared the profits with them. They do not know him to be an able man, and they have a hundred rea sons for believing that ho is not hon est either. With these two candidates beibre them and their public characters thus briefly stated, can money, party, or free dinners, induce a majority of the honest voters of the county . to cast their ballots (or the bad . and against the good inns We will not believe they will until we see It. V- - - WE are told on good authority -that la a speech Wade by Senator flu tan in Rochester a few evenings ago, he stated that "Senator %Valium Mr. l3tickalew and every democratic Sen atOr voted for the bill continuing General Hartranft as Auditor Gener al." He made this statenaen tto show that Wallace and Iluckalew and all the Deinocratic Senators had the ut most confidence In Hartman. up un til the latter became a !candidate against one of their number for Gov ernor. That LI Mr. Ratan's story ;now look at Senator Wallace's. In a speech made in Greensburg, a few nights ago Senator Wallace said : It is charged - that I assented to and voted for the bill extending the offi cial term of Gen. Hartranft as Audi , . tor General. I neither voted for nor assented to it. It was pawed on a Monday night—notoriously the hour at which all snakes in legislative cir cles are brought forth—and was pass ed through the Senate in the absence of both Mr. Buckalew and myself. He was absent in attendance on his duties on the !%t'Clure-Gray commit tee and I was at my home at court. If I had been present I would - have volikkaigainst it, for I have always 13 , , - d voted against the policy t .' ju --. . ing the official term of any !• 1c -1 , -nt of an elective office. I . . - - ways regarded it as a wrong . qra s. on the people and fruitful of cur ; VI'S and demoralizing tendency. ~,-; .NVe thus leave Mr. Itutan Just *here his ill-considered' statement 'puts him, Will a man who is KO re gardless of the truth make a faithful Senator? We think not. THE returns from Maine now cover perhaps three-fourths of the vote.— From the remote regions to the north,the news comes slowly; but we may fairly estimate our yesterday's statement of the result as at any rate within a few hundred of the exact figures. It is pcitile that the major ity may rise to a hundred or two above sixteen thousand ;—it can hardly fail many hundreds below.— The reduction from the majority iu 1868 may therefore be reckoned as about 3,600. That majority, as The World judiciously points out, was at tained in defiance of the Administra tion hostility ;—the present reduc tion has been accomplished in defi smear the most unscrupulous Admin istration support. If with the whole power of the National Government against it, the Grant ticket could get nearly :Xl,OOO majority in 1868, and with the whole power of the Nation al Government for it can only get 16,000 majority in 1872, it is plain enough that the drift against Grant is much more than the mere differ ence in the figures would indicate.— We must make atiowauce.besides,for the extreme difficulty with which men are brought to the polls in a con test known to be hopeless, and in the face of a proscriptive public senti ment among their old associates,only that - other States may have the mor eal effect of their votes. Nor must it be forgotten that many have made the mistake of supposing that their vote now had nothing to do with the Presidency, and that there was no need for them to cut loose from the regular Republican organization! till November. Yet, in spite of all these facts, the Grant managers. with Post-offices, Custom- houses, Na vy yard, Internal Revenue and all other Federal influence to back them,have fallen 3,501) short of what they were able to do against these same influ ences, four yearaago. ~ After the North Carolina election, (Which We fairly carried, ) The Tri bune pointed the Liberals to their next work, with the phrase which the Grant journals are recalling. "And now for Maine." We too are glad to recall the phrase. We hold up the results in Maine for inspira tion and assurance, as we next turn with confidence now well nigh abso lute, to Pennsylvania, Ohio and In diana. Just consider the filets: ..1......a.. - ...,-...............1..N5t0getw.ete5t 5t e count them at only the same precise percentage. The Pennsylvania elec tion in October 1868, was carried for the Grant State ticket by 9,677 major jority. A change of five thousand votes would have defeated Hartran 11, then running for Auditor-General.— Five thousand votes are barely one and-a-half per cent of the:331,416 Re publican votes - cast at that time. A change of less than one per cent would have defeated Gov. Geary in 1869, his majority being only 4,fAl“. In other words ;—with less than one lhird the change in Pennsylvania which Monday's election shows in Malneoke shall sweep the Keystone State. " Who doubts that the change will be greater instead of less The Indiana election in October, 1868, was carried by the Republicans by Jess than 1,000 majority for Gov. Baker. A change of one third of one I percent would have wiped out this majority. In 1870 the Democrats carried the State by 2.558 majority. In New-York the last important election carried by the Republicans was in 1866, when Gov. Fenton Was elected by 13,789 majority over Hoff man. A change of tens than two per cent or the 366,615 votes cast for Fen ton would have given the State to Hoff Man. We not do pursue the examination in detail. The satne percentage will give us klub:luta, California, and Connecticut, and these added to the solid Democratic column will carry us triumphantly through.

Repeated efforts have been made recently to obtain ammo to his bins., but General Hartranft has or dered his clerks to not allow them to be seen by any person at the present time. From the fact that Bergner has recently became a tnliflunare, to gether with, this Conduct of the Aud itor Genera!, the people are led to snprxre that they have boon bled in this "stationery" matter to an ont rageous extent. Defrauded or not de. franded will the voters of the State elect a man for Governor s who refus es to let them see accounts in which they are personally interested. and which they are morally certain car ry frauds upon their face ? HERE are a •few 'interrogations wh;ch the people of the State arecall ed upon to inve4igate. Voters of Pennsylvania give them a patient and thorough investigation before depositing your ballot at the October election. Passing them by,or stand ing mute while realizing their im port, will not only imperil your own interests, but your conduct may be the means of dealing the reputation of your State a blow from which it may not recover during your life time. These are the questions : • 1. Is the practice of the Mackey- Ring legitimate of lending the cash assets of the Treasury—amounting to millions—to unknown bankers and brokers,some of which are bankrupt, and one of whom is a convict 21'Do men ofbusiness- 7 -the faithful executors of pcblicand private trusts —approve of the Auditor General and State Treasurer purchasing State securities at a dePreciallon and selling them to the Sinking Fund at an ad vance, they and their broker sharing the difference as their prof its ? Did the State Treasurer, imme diately before his election the second time, borrow fur his private use front one of the State depositories trAOOO, and afterward repay it by a Treasury draft on the public funds Y If yea, Is this approved of? 4. Is it not a badge of fraud that all the accounts between the broker (since convict) and financial vine:era of the State were kept either in fic titious uames,or, what is equivalent, in reversed initials '4. Is it consitent with the proper dis charge of duty for accounting officers with small salaries to speculate to enormous amounts in stocks during their whole term of ottlee—Mackey to the amount of $146,000 in two months, and Hartrnntt of $681,000 in less than two years? O. Is it part of the. function of a Controller or Auditoritieneral to use official information for ends of pri vate gain to claim taxation on cor porate capital in order todepress the stock, and, that failing, to speculate on a rise, as iiiirtranft did in the ease of the Oil Creek Railroad. 7. Was or was nut the fraud on the City Treasury of which Harter and Yerk es have been convicted facilita ted, if not promoted, by the eounte nance given hi , the State authorities? and did it not result in a deficit in the State Treasury which, if at all, was made up from outside resources? 8.

We DetnocratS find ourselves in this campaigoco-operating with Sumner, Trumbull, Schutz, Gratz Brown. General Brinkerhoff, General Banks, and supporting even Horace Gleiley for president; while the Republica:lw are in close affiliation with Robert Toombs, Ifenry A. Wise, Blanton Duncan, the guerrilla Mosby, and Brick Pomeroy.

Governor Curtia Nombiates by thi 7b the People of Pennsylvania : The Liberal Republican State Com mittee have formally nominated Hon. Andrew U. Curtin as a mindi date for delet,vat at large to the Cousti tutionatta. invent ion. in doing so we need not present any elaborate com mendation of the choice •we have made. Had the pr*ferences of the people prevailed with the political managers, who have long ruled the State fur the attainment of selliSh ends, his name would have been first on the list of nominations for the responsible position. He would have been presented,not as a pftrtisan, but as a patriot who has shed the brightest lustre upon theannalsof our Commonwealth. A generation bus passed away since our fundamental law has been revised by the sovereign power that created it, and our progress has been marked in all that contributes to pros perity and greatness. The rapid growth and advancement-of our hi dustry, its varied and multiplied channels of production, and the vast business interests reared upon the wealth it has developed have made us outg-row the Constitution of our fat Item But to revise it in the interest of public integrity and permanent pros perity, time most ex perienmi and Withinl of our statesmen should be charged with the task. Among the-e, Andrew U. Curtin standsconfertsedly eminent, and he would bring to the important work a measure of devo tion to the pt.ople of time Common wealth that few could equal and none surpass. During six years of sorest trial to the State and Nation he filled our ex ecutive chair. He wets met with re sPensibilifies which severely tested his intelligence and his patriotism, but be met every public want, dis charged every public duty, and retir ed with the tormal approval of ail parties fur his enlightened and sue cmsful ad miniqtrat ion and beloved as the - soldiers' friend. Nu man In our great State Is more familiar with our people; with our diversified and growing Interests; with the new necessities ereated by a life-time of progress; and none can bring to the amendment of our con stitution inure praetical wisdom or grant( . fidelity. AssitTed thptlhe people of (tie State, without regard to political differenves, desire his services, we pri sent his name as a candidate, and we ask for him the tlirnest support of all who believe him most competent and de serving, with abiding confidence that he wilt be triumphantly eholteri.

PHILADELPHIA, Nept. 12, 1872 CURTIN TO THE-MONT. The determination of the Liberals to disregard party preference to their nominations has nowherr been more significantly expressed tNin in Penn sylvania. Their notninafion of An drew G. Curtin, "Thel Soldier's Friend," as delegate -at-large to the 'Constitutional Convention, is just such an Illustration of that spirit as we might expect. It is a ehoice of great wisdom, and its acintance by ex-Gov:Curtin must be an assurance of the success of the ticket, Now hr re has the tyranny end corruption of this Administration been more se verely felt than in Pennsylvania ; and to no man in that StatecOuld the eyes of the people be more readily filmed for relief and comfort than In Andrew G. Curtin, the blitmelcs pa triot and gratefully-retnernbered War Governor,. With Buekalew nt the head of the State ticket and Curtin leading the delegates to the Constitu tional Convention, the Liberals of Pennsylvania have completed a list of nominations which will command the respect of the whole country, and will never know defeat. "Andy Curtin." as the Pennsylvanians love to call their favorite Governor, is a tower of strength to any party; all of the embassies which have gone over the seas to beg and implore his adhesion to the Grant combination have returned empty-handed. Ile could naturally go nowhere else than to the Liberal camp. The address of the Pennsylvania Liberals, which is signed by some of the best names in Pennsylvania poli ties, is a stirring document. Taken with the nomination of Curtin, it alarms the souls of the Grant leaders. Even The Press, a devoted Grant or gan, which publishes the document in full, is .compelled to say that the selection of Curtin by the Liberals aggravates the misfortunes of the Ill— pnblieans ; and that the Liberal Ad dress Is signed by men whom the _Re publican party cannot afford to lase. Its brief biographical sketches of the signers of the address are like a la mentation over lost riches. If we needed any testininny to the dignity and strength of the Liberal move ment in Pennsylvania, we should find it in the comments of 7'he Press, the editor of which knows the men to whose value he so reluctantly tes tifies. And now, citizens of "the State prayer-founded !" you have the tickets, and the.men that make them, before you. On one side stand fore mnst Simon Onneron and J. F.
