was taken from your pocket, Mr. President and
mine. The most of it was assessed and col
lected in the North, not in the South; and
nsed by a corrupt Administration in the shape
of taxing contracts by levying contributions.
Let me tell you some particulars connected
with this, as a member of the Investigating
Committee on Printing. We made the dis
covery that tho contracts were let, and about
tiwentv per cent, in many cases of the money
paid by the Government for services, went in
to the politi ial fund of which Wendell was the
banker. Let me refer you to some of the
names and circumstances connected with this
State, and with which you will be more fa
miliar. Oat of sixty nine contractors, a large
majority paid money on contracts into this
fund. It was ascertained ibut a contractor
(13d done about a hundred thousand dollars
worth of lithographing for the Government. —
He was subpeened but his recollection was so
feint that he knew notbiug about his own busi
ness. (Laughter.) I observed to tho chair
man of the Investigating (Jommitteo that I was
not satisfied with bis testimony, to the effect
that the boobs were burned. His partner was
sent for, and gave liia testimony, 'hat the
hooks showed that they paid about twenty
thousand dollars out of the one hundred thous
and dollars' worth of work, to the party fined.
The question asked him was, 'l>o tho books
show that?' He replied, k Yes.'
Question —Where are the bocks?
Answer—lu the office.
The clerk was sent for, nod his testimony
agreed with that of the latter. Haviug ob
tained the books, and being a book keeper, on
investigation I found that about twenty thous
and out of the one hundred thousand dollars
were paid to the officer, and charged to the
account of Printing—a mode which they un
derstood in order to balance the cash book.—
When asked how this could be afforded, the
reply was that so much the more was charged
for doing the work. Thus, Mr. President, you
will see how the money came out of jour and
my poeket to furnish moans to those who were
engaged in a crusade against the interests and
liberties of our country. One of the partici
ptnts (Mr. Seaman) was ordered by the House
to be put on trial, and the next thiog we heard
was that be had gone to Europe. On going
back to Washington to frank some documents
for you know they compelled me to do that
personally, although since they lost Minnesota
they have ceased to enforce the rule. 1 found
that Mr. SeauuQ had not been put upon bis
trial. [Laughter.]
Let me relate another fact. Another con
tractor handed over, at different times, to Sea
man about §20,000, for which he did not take
& note, and never expected is back again, but
which he culled a loau. When asked, "what
did you do with that money?" "Why," said
he, "don't put this down as testimony; I used
it to carry elections in Pennsylvania. More
than double that was spent in 1853, but it did
not damage you any"—referring to myself.—
1 1 will assure you I did not give a dollar to
your district." I asked him why? He re
plied, "when Mr. Buchanan handed tan a let
ter, asking me to furnish a thousand dollars to
beat you, I told Lim it was no use, and it was
only throwing money away."
The matter then got into the New York Tri
bune and came to Mr. Buchanan's eye. He
sent for W enciell and said, "1 want you to de
ny the truth of there statements." Wendell
replied, "I cannot." He cauie and told me
what had taken place. And why was not this
testimony published* A majority of that
committee was Deiuoerars. But, gentlemen,
we have a committee now that will piobe these
fellows to the botl< m. It is for ibis wo strug
gled, eight weeks, day and uight, for victory,
and though you may thick it small, i hope
there are geat results to come from it. Wen
deil s testimony, lately taken, will show you
that he went into the doubtful districts of
Pennsylvania and expended large sums of mon
ey to defeat u. Whii3t suffering from the
sting of guilt for engaging in such transac
tions, Mr. Buchanan sent that pious letter to
the Pittsburg Centenniary Celebration, rela
tive to the use of money in elections, and tried
to throw it oS on us. This is the power be
hind tiie throne, and which is used in the North
to prostrate and crush the liberties of the peo
ple. [Applause.] it would take me a whole
day to develop this corruption, and I have Ai
ly given ouo or two cases as specimens. Wen
dell was subsequently brought before the com
mittee; alter we had traced enormous sums of
money into his hands we asked him to testify.
He refused, when we referred him to the law
framed by Ritchie, of Allegheny, which gave
us power to imprison for contumacy. He came
back the next day and testified, and for giving
that testimony, and for refusing to go to jail
for two weeks, the name of The Union was
changed to The Constitution. Wendefl was
thrown overboard and' Bowman brought in.—
Wendell than threatened ro divulge the whole
eonccrn, but just before the meeting of Con
gress they gave him a contract which would
psy for keeping £quiet. [Great laughter and
mmeuse applause.] Gentlemen, 1 am a party
man above all considerations, and I believe
that the interest of the party which I subscribe
40 is the interest of the country. [Applause.]
lam prepared to enter the contest. We
have to elect our members of Congress, our
Governor, our President, and rescue the con
trol of this Government from the hands of the
spoilers; for, if they are allowed to retain
possession four years more, the machinery of
the Government will become more complicated,
and it is unlikely that we shall bo able to as
sume the power of the Government. Tureats
have already been made that, if we elect a He
publican President, it will dissolve the Union.
Bo we were told if we elected a Speaker.—
Luring the last contest for Speaker, scores of
speeches were made, declaring that in the
event of the election of a Republican Presi
dent, the Uuion should be dissolved. Tats
threat, Mr. President, and it gives mo pleasure
to state it, bas in no fingie instance come from
a Southern Oppositionist or Republican, but iu
all cases from the Southern portion of the De
mocratio party, and acyuieseed in by Northern
doughfaces. The object was to scare new be
ginners, but lhe result bas been, to scare uo
body but the Democrats. I have been in
Washington now five yews, and let me say,
that the proudest feeling I ever attained is,
that during tbe wbcls struggle, this corrupt ;
Government, with all its money, pstrouago ami i
power, his never succeeded in corrupting and ;
bringing to their support one single man be
longing to our party. [Applause.] Others j
nave been bought by the dozen. [Daughter.] ■
Voices. Tell us something obou.t ilie army
fit Utah,
WeU, I have a little iofoiuiatiots inn-gird
to that, for I have obtained a great dual of
experience as well as observation, whilst chas
ing up thieves for so many years. This Utah
matter was not a war to conquer the Mormons,
or else why was it not done? It was a war to
conquer the freetoen of Kansas. The Govern
ment had not patronage and power euough. It
wanted office to bestow upon the relatives of
members of Congress.
These, gentlemen, are samples of wbal is
done at Washington to support this corrupt
administration, to defeat your tariff policy Bud
crush out freedom from the territories. [Ap
plause.]
A Voice. What did Hickman say?
Hickman said, in the face of the whole ol
them, looking at them boldly, "I have been of
fered more for my vote on the Lccompton ini
quity than 1 urn worth." [Applause.] So
will Mr. Raskin of New York, say, md Mr.
Adriau, of New Jersey, the last of whom was
offered a foreign missiou as ouo of the items.
Not a man voted for the Leeompton iniqui
ty but Wis paid by contracts, money, office,
posiikm, or in some way. Some have been
paid twice, uiider the threats of exposing se
crets. Such items, for instance, as aa Indian
Agency. Mind you, not to go out anions the
Indians, but to remain iu the neighborhood of
(he White House, and watch what was going
en there. [Prolonged applause.]
SPEECH OF GOV. POLLOCK.
Gentlemen, Mmbets oj this Convention :
I thank you for the honor of calling me to
preside over this Convention. My only pledge
is, that 1 will endeavor to perform the duties
of (he position, impartially and fearlessly.
We have assembled upon a day full of glo
rious memories—a day hallowed as the natal
day of him whose name is the synonym of hon
or truth and greatuess, of justice, liberty, aud
right. In honoring his memory, let us imitute
his virtues, practice his precepts, and act out
those priucipies of truth auu patriotism, that
made his tame imperishable, his name imotor -
tal. Thus influenced, we will be prepared to
discharge the duties of this couveution in a
manner worthy ot our cause aud Common
wealth.
We are, aud are proud to be citizens of
Pennsylvania, yet we cannot ind will not for
get that, in right of our Anuricaa nationality;,,
wo claim the higher and nobler title of Ameri
can citizens. Pennsylvania, true to evtry
constitutional and confederate duty, has ever
been as willing to recognize and maintain the
rights of her sister State?, as to defend Imr
own. lruc to ail, she tolerates nosentiment
oi disunion; uy traitor dares in he*legislative
halls or in her p f, p.ula.r conventions, even to
whisper tint odious and detested wosd, Other
States ujay boast their traitors and their treas
on, may scud their euunis&aries from capitol
to capitol, oharged with the dire mission of
hate and discord—may attempt to sever and
destroy the patriot's homo—the world's last
hope tor freedom and human rights. Our
Couimouweilth* with, heart full of "liberty,
equality and fraternity," frowns down the
treason, aud clings with ail the fervor at her
fire-t love to the "Union as it i?."
We arc here to day as frieuds of the Union
and the uonsJitution, as advocates of law aud
order, pledged to obey every Constitutional
requirement, to fulfill every legal obligation,
and pledged to resist every attempt to proveut
the due execution ot ei'iicr law or constitution
State or national.
We hase no sympathy with political or so
cial fanaticism, whether in the form of Noith
em Abolitionism, or boutheru slavery propa
gaiidisru; we have uo sympathy with fanatics,
whethci tLey arc John Brown and his eouted
erjtc traitors iu the prisons of Cbariestowo,
\ irginia, or the plotters of disunion in the
legislative halls ot Uhurlcslown, South Caroli
na. We hold the rights of the States to be
sovereign and sacred, fheir institutions, po
litioa. and social, ate their own. We have no
right, direct.y or indirectly, to iuterfere with
tbcui. What we claim for ourselves we vield
to them, to all— treedom ot speech und of tbe
Press--ihu right, full aud entire, to think—to
speak, to act usfreeuun. If this he treason,
let the supporters of the present National Ad
ministration make the mast of it.
As a party opposed to the Administration,
its wrongs and corruptions, our principles have
. oe-au misrepresented, QUI* motives impugned
. and our veracity questioned. Our avowals and
disavowals have uiike bten discredited. We
| have been denounced as abetting tbe mad for
ays of mad, bad men, 33 enemies of the con
j stitution and the laws, and as recreant t. eve
-Iry social und political duty. These charges
; arc false, as the motives that prompt their ut
i terance are base and iufamous. They speak
: ih- ir own condemnation. But so ioog as tbe
wrongs ol fyausus, and the violence and blood
: that marked tne atrocity of those wrongs, find
j a place iu history —so long as the the
National Administration, in attempting, over
j broken promises and violated faith, to force, by
i the military power of the Government, slavery
upon an unwilling people, are not forgotten; so
ioog as co.ruption stains the Government con
tracts, and reekioss expenditures deplete the
nationsi treasury, for partizan purposes; so
| tree labor is unprotected, uud tree la
[ borers despised aud regarded as the "mud
I sills" of society, just so long should the ad
herents and apologists of President Buchanan
; speak softly their reproaeljes of us, or sileuoe
their slanders.
Recognizing freedom as ths great oentro
truth ot Americau nationality, liberty the rule,
and slavery tbe exoeptioo, liberty national,
slavery sectional and local, wa believe it to be
our right and duty, by every iegai and consti
tutional means, and uo orhcr, to prevent the
extension of Slavery to 1 fee Territories of tbe
Uuiou. These are the principles of the found
ers of the republic, and it is sate to follow
where they lead. These are the doctrines of
the (Joastitutioo, of its compromises and of all
cotemporaucous national legislation on this
subject.
As a coriollary to this doctrine, we hold it
to be the right of the National Government to
protect, by adequate aud efficient legislation,
the tabor, and all the great industrial interests
ot the American peopie. This priucipie, as a
party, aud us citizens of .Pennsylvania, we can
not aud will not surrender.
iiouesty anj economy Lave become obsolete
terms in the financial operations of tbe Nation
al Government. Responsibility is a word
without ineaniog, when applied to many of ber
financial agents, ilseevil must be remedied,
lo rebuke corruption and extravagance, and
secure bonesty and economy in Wtato and
National expenditures, are both the objects
BEDFORD MOUIREIt
and principles o.t thoso opposed to the Nation
al Administration.
To protect the elcotive franchise in its puri
ty, to save t'roui every influence that would mi*
pair its efficiency, is a psineiple d*sr to every
Atuericau citizen, a prominent principle af the
party represented in this Convention.
As freemen, with ftea sebools and. on open
Bible, ou aim and object should ever, be to se
cure and protect tie rights of all—to advuuee
the prosperity, of tho citizen aud the Sta,te —to
save the Government from demoralization and
•orrtiojHOQrvto promote be honor end great
ness of our common country, and uid her iu
tha accomplishment of her great and glorious
mission among the of the earth.
Hut, gentlemen, the immediate duty before
us is to select u candidate, a standard bearer
in the approaching gubernatorial contest, a
contest only preliminary to a more important
contest, in which not ouly our Commonwealth,
hut the Union is deeply interested. Let us in
the performance of our duties as members ot
this convention, cultivate the spirit of harmo
ny, peace and eouaord. Let us exhibit to all
that we are ouo iu feeling and sentiment, and
one in a fixed determination to triumph wi'h
aud by our principles.
Again, I thank you for the honor crmferred,
and earnestly invite your cordial co-operation
in the preservation of order and the perform
ance of the duties assigued uie. This 1 ex
pect yon will cheerfully give.

LEGISLATURE.
Mr. EDIT OK: —Fermi*, me space iu your pa-
P?r, to say a (Vw words ou ,ibe subject ot a
candidate for the Legislature. As a citizen of
Bedford Boroueh, I feel that the claims of
Mr. \\ M, GRIFFITH, of Union Township, are
superior to those of any other named. Mr.
Griffith was a candidate a f tW year- a g o
the office of Associate Judge, and wheo it was
though„ thai his withdrawal, aod the (lomiua
tiou ot another ouumwaie, would conduce to
the good of the party, Mr. Griffith cheerfully
acquiesced. 1 o him, as much as to any other
mau. tio wo now owe the ascendency of correct
principles in Union Township. He is au ac
tive and effective politician: L-> well read; atrd
will make a representative of whom we uecd
not feel ashamed. Many of our friends in this
part of the County fee! that Mr. Griffith de
serves end should have tuc nomiiiatiou.
