At 2 o'clock, next morning, we were
waked up and began a march to our
right again, first moving up to a Lill
nearer Spottsylvania. We then heard
firing on the right, and were marched in
thot direction. The rebels Lad ttaelted
a body of Heavy Artillery who were
coming up as reinforcements, and they
had a lit ely fight. It was ended before
we could gat to them, and, although the

THE Commissioners of the Sinking
Fund of the State of Pennsylvania invite
proposals for the redemption of one mil
lion of dollars of the State loan, due
July 1, 1870. Thus, under Republican
administration, the reduction of our State
debt goes steadily on, and this fact alone
is a most convincing argument for the
re-election of Governor Geary in October
next. What Democratic administration
ever presented such a record of good
deeds done? The good Works of the cop
perheads have never existed except in
promises that bore no fruit.

The Democracy are to make a silent

There are five American convicts in

Old Uccle John Morrison, Democratic
nominee for Register, whom :'ilick abuied
so villainously during h's travels in
Pennsvalley, reminds us of cld "Uncle
Tom" in old "Uncle Tom's Cabin." He
has outlived the average ago allotted
human kind—has become a curiosity,and
remarkable fur his I.mgevity—cannot,
we understand, write his name—was
hoisted into prominence as a compro
mise—never could, according to P. Gray,
"make a decent living for himself," and
the Democratic party do not expect to
elect him. Compare him and his quali
fications with those of that energetic,
competent and educated gentleman and
scholar, Mr. William Curtin. Bumph !
Peaches and Democrats are plenty this
but. have the "rot" fearfully. Both
are falling off early in tho campaign.
As proof as strong as Holy Writ, that
men arc endowed with superior endu
rance to the gentler sex, we note the sad
death of a young girl in Phillipsburg,
occasioned by drinking concentrated lye.
We know cf a brace of Democratic Edi
tors who have drank double-distilled,
fire-and-lightning, the worse-side-of-hell,
triplt, concentrated lie, and they are
alive and doing well. But then, they
spew it up every week--in the Watch-
ETEI
The Watchman chaps acknowledge that
"God's ways are not their ways." True
0, King.. But hi has a wa4 provided for
such creatures when their affliction of
His righteous and best loved,seemeth to
Him sufficient. Democratic armor will
be but as tinder-wood in that day.
The Watchm HI, in wishing success to
the new Democratic sheet., started at Em
porium, Cameron county, in the interest
of dissatisfied Democrats, shows that the
awful castigation he received at the
hands of the late county convention still
rankles in his breast. It can't behelped,
Peter; you must go Morrison, McClos
key, Grenoble, and, worst of all, Moyer,
or, rather,Meyer. Waugh!
We wonder if the Democracy are satis
fied to let a humane bill, for the preser
vation of life, pass a Republican Legis
lature, now, that their malignity has en
compassed the death of 200 brave, toil
ing workmen, delving for their daily
bread in the doomed mines of Avondale.
The nonsensical fartanade over the
"Rote and his Revolver" canard, will
simply re-act upon the head of its author,
as did the Twitchell calumny.
The signal guns from Wilmington,
Del.; Vermont and San Francisco. are
like death sentences to the much afflict
ed Democracy. The guns will increase
in number and volume in October. Stand
from under.
A party capable of sacking orphan as
sylums, and causing the harrowing death
of 200 brave workingmen in a coal mine,
can hardly expect a very hearty support
from our toiling masses. Workingmen
of Centre county, remember your friends.

Ma Packer--His Course During The
War And Since
The critical readers of our paper
ought to be pretty well posted in re
gard to the antecedents of the Demo
cratic nominee for Governor. We
have now, however, procured some
ne•v evidence of his skill in eluding
taxation, but will very briefly notice
the points heretofore made before fur
nishing our readers with it. Asa Pack
er was one of the thirty-five anti-Doug
las delegates from Penn'a to the Na
tionalDemocraticConvention in April,
1860,.and during that memorable con
vention at Charleston, Baltimore and
Rich m ond,did everything in his power
to disrupt the Democratic party and
bring on the rebellion headed by Jeff.
Davis & Co.
As has been fully explained by
Captain F. H. Rauch, and. not denied
by any one, Mr. Packer bolted the
nomination of Douglas and zealously
supported Breckinridge and Lane in
1860. His influence during the war
was entirely with the Copperheads ;
all his surroundings were of the ex
trem est pre.-slavery character. Val—
landigham, when driven from home
by the loyalty of the Buckeye State,
sought refuge on the banks of the
Lebigh,and at the home of this same
Asa Packer. At a still later period,
when the Confederacy was crumbling
beneath sturdy blows inflicted by the
Union arms, he went to Europe to
avoid seeing the miseries inflicted
upon his rebebfriends.
In filling the Union army, the pon
derous legal opinion of his special
friend, Judge Woodward, failed to
set aside the acts of Congress, and
the inexorable draft went on. To avoid
it Carbon county had to resort to
bounties to volunteers, and 3f course
a bounty tax had to be assessed. The
assessing under the solemnity of an
oath, estimated the personal proper
ty of Asa Packer, not at $20,000,000,
but at .$1,000,000. The fifteenth sect
ion of the act of May, 1841, gave him
the right of appeal to the County
C3mmissioners of Carbon county, who
in that case would. have heard his own
statement under oath, and reduced
the valuation accordingly. The law
gave him this right. His own person
al, political friends were the adminis
trators of the law. Did he, like an
honest man,seek redress in this way?
Thousands have had resort to this
simple and efficacious remedy of a
Wrong. No ! He pretended that he
had removed to Phil'a,—was as he
said, domiciled at the Merchants'
Hotel, in that city. His taxes for
bounty, school, borough, county and
State purposes amounted to $32,500.
A. goodly sum we admit, but only as
the same rate the poorest miner in
hip employ paid on his property. Asa
Packet's Louse, furniture,flunily,aye,
himself, too, to all appearances, re—
mained at Mauch Chunk-, as they had
done for thirty years before. His own
political friends could not see this
trumped-up rein oval as a genuine one,
and refused to abate his taxation.
The case went to Court. Two law
firms were retained to enforce the col-
lection by the county and borough
authorities. This resulted in a com
proulise, by which he engaged to pay
the taxes of 1867, and the authorities
let him off in the future, on the ground
of his payment of his personal taxes
in Philadelphia.
We lave before us the certificate of
Mr. W T . F. Smith, that he has carefully
examined the assessments of the Sixth
ward, Philadelphia, where - Mr. Pack
er claims his residence is, from 1864
to 1869, and that Asa Packer's name
only appears for one pzar, to .wit:
1867—5. The other five years are all
blanks. In 1867-8 his name appears
on the tax list as follows: First, his
salary as railroad president, $,2,800;
second, money at interest, $13,500;
third, gold watches, $2, The whole
tax would probably be $3250, instead
of $32.500 at Mauch Chunk. And
having acoomplished his purpose by
ge ting off the assessor's books at his
own proper home, he mysterbusly
disappears from the tax records of
Philadelphia, and since this twenty
millionaire is a wandering carpet
bagger, and pays taxes nowhere.
• This, however, is not the whole of
the exhibit. We have also before us,
as we write, the certificate of James
N. Kerns that Asa Packers's return
to the Assessor of the United states
for internal taxes is one gold watch
and some silver plate, the tax upon
which amounted to the enormous
sum of $8 95. This bloated bond
holder, "worth over $20,000,000," as
the Chairman of the Democratic
Committee certified to his Allegheny
County Committee two clays since,
pays no personal taxes in Pennsyl
vania, and only $8 95 to the United
States internal Revenue. If he did
not hurt the rebels much during the
war, certainly he will not help the
soldiers and sailors much during peace.
Asa Packer's friends boast that he
gave a half million to his church for
a college, and that he gave $20,000
annually to run the party machine in
the State, and this year is to give
them one hunlred thousand to elect
VOL, 1, NO 36 .
him Governor, and yet all that ever
rumor has credited him with contrib
uting to put down the rebellion is the
paltry sum of 'sso, though for two
years past he has not paid one cent of
personal tax to the borough, county
or State wherein he resides, and only
the paltry sum of $8 95 to the United
States. These certificates are left at
the office of the Commercial to be
seen by any Democrat who questions
these statements.

THE DIFFERENCE.—WhiIe the Watch
man and similar scurvy sheets are
attempting to manufacture political
buncombe by appealing to the lowest
passions of mankind in its opposition
to negro suffrage, the New York
World, concededly the ablest Demo
cratic organ in the East, is either dis
creetly quiet upon the subject, or, ac
cepting what is inevitable in the march
of events, advises its followers to se
eure the confidence of the negro, and,
thereby, his suffrage. But then,
Marble edits the World, while Hon.
Peter Gray Meek is the (in) famous
proprietor of the Watchman.
The Watchman makes a futile at
tempt- to manufacture a little cheap
campaign capital by publishing a silly,
uncalled-for and deliberate falsehood
concerning Mr. Dan. H. Rote, our
most worthy and efficient candidate
for Recorder. Meek says Rote "jump
ed from his wagon at Pleasant Gap,
drew a revolver from his pocket, and
threatened to shoot a daughter of Mr.
John Sweeney." Mr. Rote is a crip
ple, uses a crutch, did nothing of the
kind as charged by Meek, which fact
can be substantiated by half a dozen
reliable witnesses. If you must lie,
Meek, do, pray, lie consistently.
JACOB a MEYER, the classical and
pedantic Democratic nominee for the
lower House, says that the voters of
Miles township, aside from their in
capacity to comprehend "his method
of teaching music," are so utterly de
void of sense as to believe it an abso
lute necessity to make two holes in
their stair doors—one for the big oats
and one for the little ones—not be
lieving theta small feline can go thro'
the big hole. We opine that the vo
ters of Miles township will put Beyer
through the small hole on the second
Tuesday of October next.
,Pendleton claimsthat the coun
try is in debt. That is very true.—
If Pendleton had had his way the
country would not have been thus
burdened. Neither would there have
been any country to be burdened with
debt. The debt is part of the price
we paid Pendleton's friends for our
country.
tM—As a result of the late Demo—
cratic triumph in Tennessee, we have
the outrages upon the Union people,
white and colored repoted by the tele
graph.
