To the Rejiullican* oj the '2S)th Senatorial District of Pennsylvania : I herewith return to your hands the u >mi nation as candidate for State Senate con ferred upon me by a majority of your repre sentatives in the district conference. I am induced to this action solely by a desire to conserve the harmony of the party that has twice elected me to this same po sition. To the friends who so kindly sustained me, I return my heartiest thanks. To the opponents who have so foully tra duced me, I point to the primary vote and endorsement by a county meeting, composed of my immediate fellow citizens, as well as to my nomination by the conference as a complete answer. ALEX. STUTZMAN. To the Republican* of the 20 th Senatorial District of Pennsylvania : The undersigned, conferees in behalf of Somerset county, in the late Senatorial conference, which placed in nomination Hon. Alexander Stutz oan as the RepuLli can candidate for Senator io this district. Having learned that Mr. Stutzman with a view to secure harmony in the party, and to insure success at the election, has declined to be a candidate, do hereby present to the voters of the 20ih Senatorial District, the name of Hon. Edward Scull as the candi date of our party. This action is rendered necessary on our part, because of the near approach of the election, and the impossibility of having the matter again submitted to the Republican voters of this county. Whilst we regret that Mr. Stutzmao has declined to be a candidate, we can not but commend the disinterestedness he has ex hibited, and his desire to advance the in terest of the party, and we feel assured that in presenting the name of 3lr. Scull, we do an act which will meet the hearty approba tion of the Republicans of this district. He is capable and honest, and an earnest and zealous supporter of the principles of our party, and will make a competent and worthy representative. H B. BARNES. W. B. COFFROTH, E. D. YUTZY. The action of the conferees of Somerset county, in presenting the name of Hon. Ed ward Scull as the candidate for Sen itor in place of Mr. Stutzuian is approved by the undersigned. II F. BCHELL. Chairman Rep. Co. Com. The undersigned Republican Senatorial Conferees of Bedford County, earnestly unite with the Conferees of Sum rsct Co., in presenting the name of Hon. Edward Scull, as the candidate of our party foi State Senator, and solicit for him tbe hearty support of the Republicans of Bedford co., and we do respectfully reque.-t the conferees of Fulton County, to unite with us in pre senting Mr. Scull as the caadid.te of the party in the entire district. JOIJNG. MINX It'll. G- W WILLIAMS, ISAIAH t'ONLEY, I concur in the above recommendation of' the Bedford County Conf- r,es, and rc-peet fully recommend Hon. Edward Scul! to the Republicans of Bedford County as a candi date entirely worthy of their support. W M. HALL, Chairman Co. Com. Bedford l'a. A CARD. The falsehoods which the following card is intended to counteract are not at all an exception iu democratic electionoriug ; it is the kind of pabulum upon which the enemies of our ticket subsist. The whole scheme is utterly groundless and untrue, and is exploded by the statements of .Mr. Lingenfelter, the only man who could have known anything of the fact if they had been true. The charges to which this card al ludes, are in themselves so outrageously, palpably false, that one would suposo they barely needed contradiction. The right of petition is so thoroughly established and recognized in this country that such a thing as a representative refusing to pres?nt pe titions is unheard of, and no one but a good democrat ' could have invented this yarn. Mr. Longenecker has no interest whatever in this I'oor House ouestiun, ex cept as a citizen of Bedford* eo., and will most cheerfully carry out the wishes of a majority of the people of the county, in the matter it) whatever way they may be fairly expressed. . BenroßU, Sept. 18, 1869,-Asan impres sion has got out, and is industriously used by the Democrats, to tbe effect that J. Id. Long enecket Esq had refused to present to the ouse of itept's. at its last session, certain fhis rT I T the Poor Hous in j tioL 7 ' "i!" 1 he "'thbeid those ~etir emarU K 8 cb "B e dwith having made unkind sLreiwT. 1 l^ e r tilioD *' 4c ' 1 1° burs ■ ose P etit,ons to Harris March Th , B f, rmn K there on the 23d, of the Pom - tent down at the instance of me ß en^ la !'i° n u S ° f the counl J had been • and h.Jri a* Ho ?

Mr. Longenecker did therefore not refuse to i present tiose petitions nor make anv unkind remarks ot the petitioners as 1s alleged, but had nothing to do with them. J. W. LINGENFELTER. PACKER with his $20,000,000 paid $9,56 j year and cheated the Government out of tbe balance. Should such a man be 1 permitted to bold any office? THE SENATORIAL NOMINATION. In another column will be found the with drawal of Hon. A. Stutzman as candidate for Senator in this district and the nomina tion of Hon. Edward Scull of Somerset Mr. Scull has been the editor of the Somer set Herald ami Whig , for a number of years, is a man of superior ability, of unim peachable integrity, an influential citizen, and will make an able and judicious Sena tor. There is no better man in the district and we congratulate the Republican party io this district upon so fortunate a settlement of the difficulties which threaten ed to endanger the Seoatorsbip. Mr. Scull will command the solid Republican vote of the whole district which makes his election a foregone conclusion. Our ticket is now complete and we have only to go to work and bring out a full vote and roll up the largest possible majority. The time is short, let not a moment be lost. Our enemies are active and vigilant they are pouring out money like water and are workiog with the energy of despair. It is their last grand ef fort iu Pennsylvania. They expect Packer's gold to win them victory. Let us give them such a Waterloo defeat on the 12th that they will be utterly demoralized and never be able again to make a fight in the old Keystone State. Let not the assurance of victory produce indifference and lethargy. No victory is assured except by untiring activity and vigilance, and until the enemy is utterly and ignouiiniously routed no good soldier will abandon bis pose or slacken Lis efforts. every Republican work for the whole ticket, from now until the evening of the J2th as if the decision of the contest depended on his own efforts, and copper beadism will be so overwhelmingly defeated that Packer will not know where to pack himself to, when the election is over. We tee in a California paper that the long lin of snow-sheds recently Built by the Central Pa ific Railroad, for the purpose of securing uninterrupted travel during the winter months, has been burned to the ground. It is rather a question with the en gineers whether the snow-sheds would pre vent stoppage of travel by the vast masses of snow which drift from the Sierra Ne va le- and the Rocky Mountains. As soon as the snow falls we shall have uncertain connection with the Californian coast. It seems to us as impossible to contend with these wild demonstrations of nature as it was for Napoleon to attempt to conquer Russia in midwinter. If we propose to have a road *o th- Pacific, it must be a road that will run through some milder climate. For this rea sou we arc disposed to give encouragement to the enterprise of the Kansas Pacific Rail way, which is now building an extension to Denver, and will continue the road along the •'to; h parallel, through New Mexico and Arizona. The Kansas Pacific road is built to a point nearly 700 miles beyond the Mississippi river, is a first-class Rail way, is managed with singular prudence and care, and earns more than enough to pay the interest upon its new 7pr cent. loan. It asks from the people of the United States six and a half millions of dollars to enable it to make the desired connection with Den ver. If that connection can be made we shall have the Rocky Mountains linked with the Alleglianies, and in three or four years our people will have daily trains from New York to San Francisco, and "no postpone ment on account of the weather." How TO \ OTE. —At the coming election there will be four different tickets voted. Oito will tiiadoi] ''.lndutiapp' 1 fop JuJg.. <>f the Supreme Court, one headed "State" for Governor, one headed "County" for Senator, Representatives and the county ticket, and one headed "Township" or "Borough" for the township or borough tickets. Our friends in the various town ships will find the whole very much simpli fied by having their township tickets print ed. A coup'e dollars will pay for the tick ets and the trouble of writing will thereby t*e obviated and the work of the election officers greatly facilitated. Let the nomi nations of township officers be made as soon as possible, at furthest by Saturday of next week tbe 2d of October. Then let some one -ee to getting the tickets printed at once. This can be done by coming directly to this office or sending by letter a list of the candi dates and the number of tickets wanted and we will print them and send back by return mail. Let our friends in every part of the country see to these things without delay. THE New York gold gamblers ran the premium up to 1,62} on last Friday, when Secretary Boutwolf, summarily frustrated tin ir plans by giving notice that he was go ing to .-c!l gild on the following day. Gold i led in an hour to 1311 and arne ducks were as p'enty on AV all street as flies in a sugar hog-head. The gamblers were severely punished as they deserved to be. Secretary Boutwell is entitled to the thanks of all hon. est mi II fjr administering this well deserved punishment to the gamblers. ASA i'ACKEtt is opposed to the abolition of land taxes, because the money that used to be filched from the bard earned wages ot our iarmers by copperhead taxes on real estate, are now gathered from banks, rail roads, coal and iron mining companies and other moneyed corporations. Packer would prefer to have our farmers taxed and have his $20,(XX),000 worth of railroads and coal miues go scot free. Republicanism believes i in relieving the poor man of taxes first COPPERHEADS, like Democratic papers, are circulating the most infamous falsehoods in regard to Gov. Geary. Among the most ! flagraut is the pardon of Cain Norris, who was convicted of a most henious crime and sentenced to 15 years imprisonment, fie has not been pardoned nor is he likely to be, but i J serving his time out and is not lik ly to be pardoned at all. Such are the infimuus falsehoods to which in their des peration they resort to gain a few votes. Fnirplay, gentlemen ' stick to the truth. LET the people remember that Long and Longenecker our candidates for the Legis lature are both gallant soldiers, who perilled their lives for their country. Shall such men be set aside for men, who either sym pathised with rebels and rebellion or have gone over to their ranks siuce the war? Shad the heroes who saved our Union not be rewarded? The men who saved the country have earned the right to take part in making her laws. TKE Republicans have won a signal victo ry in New Mexico, carrying our Congress man by 3000 of a majority. Why don't the copperheads crow over this victory. The actual majority in Maine is seveu times as great, yet copperheads have the presump tion to try to deceive the people by claiming great gam*. Let us have, plenty utore of the same kind and copperheadism will soon be wiped out. •SPECIAL efforts will be made by the cop perheads to get Republicans to vote against Mr. Longenecker on the Poor House ques tion. The card of J. W. Lingenfelter in another column explains the whole matter and exculpates Mr. Longenecker. Vote the whole ticket THE Gazette tries hard to make the peo ple of the county beliove that they still pay it Sute tax. It h not true. They still pay a heavy tax because copperhead extrava ganoe got the county in debt and they are now taxing us heavily to pay it off. The Legislature abolished all land taxes and DOW collects its revenue from taxes on banks, rail roads, and other moneyed corporations. COPPERHEAD papers at present have a strong odor of the fish market. Billings gate figures in every line and everything in the shape of truth is given a remarkably wide margin. Having no arguments to ad duce in favor of their candidates, whiskey and billingsgate are their only reliance. Packer's case is a desperate one but such remedies wont serve bim. T HE Gazette of last week finding itself without a line of argument resorted to the usual device of such sheets when they Cod they have a bad case and scolded and black guarded worse than a fishwoman. Judging from their writings one would naturally sup pose that the Gazette scribblers had got their education in the lowest kind of a fish market. MODERN Democracy has no principle, ha tred to Republicanism and opposition to whatever Republicans do comprises its whole aim. Republicanism pays off debts and Democracy insists upon incurring debts. Republicanism insists upon retrenchment and reform and Democracy persists in ex travagant expenditure and corruption. If you want to have the State debt in creased once more and a State tax assessed on your farms vote for Packer, Findley, Sipc ai d Noble and you will get taxes and debt to your heart's conteut. Remember this when you go to the polls. JOHN W. GEARY the brave soldier or Packer the rebel millionaire must be our Governor for the next three years. CUD loyal men hesitate whom to choose ? Vote for the man who fought his country's hat ties and periled his life for the Union. SATURDAY is the last day for registering. See tbat every Republican voter has his name on the list. Let every one see for himself. Let vigilance committees take es pecial charge of this business at oncc. THE poor man is indebted to the Repub lican party for every reduction of taxes and lightening of his burthens. If he wbhes such a policy continued he will vote the whole Republican ticket. DEMOCRATIC rule runs the State in debt and Republican rule pays the debt off. Democracy ran Bedford county in debt. Republicans will pay it off if they get con trol. The same story holds good for Bed ford borough. Let us have a change, BEDFORD county needs a change of Ad ministration. Taxpayers remember this when you go to the polls. IF you want the State debt to continue to be reduced a couple millions a year, vote for Geary, Scull, Long and Longenecker. TO THE FREEHOLDERS OF THE COMMONWEALTH OF PENNSYL VANIA. Two weeks from to-day it will be your privilege, in common with your fellow-citi zens, to elect a Governor for this great Com monwealth, and whatever may be your pref erence you have but two persons to select from, the Hon. Jno. W. Geary and the Hon. .AeoPacker, representing respectivclj the Republican and Democratic parties. Person ally there can be no possible objection to cither of these gentlemen, and hence it is for you to decide whether you will entrust the government of the State to the Republican or the Democratic party, and as you decide this question you will cast your votes for one of these gentlemen. Under these cir cumstances it becomes our duty to examine the record of each during the time they have had control of the State government. I shall not enter into an investigation of their actions in relation to the many great nation al questions that have aeitated the public mind for the la-t twenty-five years, but the more domestic one—How have they man aged our own household? On the 30th of November, 1842, tbe debt of the Commonwealth had reached the sum of $37,937,788.24, and from this time until January, 1861, the Democratic party had al most uninterrupted control of the State gov ernment—twice only were they defeated in tbe election for Governor, and during the whole period they had a majority in one or the other branches of the State government, and no measure could pass that did not at least meet their approval. They levied tax es on per.-onal property, permitting nothing to escape from the toilet to the stable. They placed taxes on our corporations, discrimi nating against those built by our own citi zens and for the purpose of developing our vast mineral and agricultural resources, and upon you, the free holders of this Common wealth, they levied taxes on your house holds wholly unnecessary, and only to be squandered among their parasites. The sin gle item of taxes on your real estate duriDg this period amounted to the enormous sum of twenty Jive millions of dollars , not one dollar of which would have been needed had they properly husbanded their other re sources. What did they do with this?— build railroads and canals— no they were al ready completed; on the contrary, they per mitted our State works to go to destruction, so much so that when put up for sale, they were disposed of at one third their original cost, aud were by no means cheap at that. Did they pay off the indebtedness of the State.' not a dollar; for on the first of January, 1861, when the Republican party came in power they found the debt of the State $37,969,847.50. Thirty-two thousand dollars in excess of what it was eighteen years b-'tore. The truth is these vast sums were squandered for the purpose of retain ing power, and not until after an indignant constituency had hurled them from power did we ever hear of a Democrat advocatiog an economical State administration—but let us pass to the other side. Tbe Republican party came fully into power in January, 1861, with a State debt hanging over us of $37,969,847, 50, and ere three months had elapsed they were com pelled to borrow $3,000,000 for the purpose of arming and equipping our quota to aid in crushing tbe slaveholders' rebellion. Since the inauguration of Governor Cur tin nine years have nearly expired, and these have been nine years of Republican iuL true at times the Democratic party have had control of one or more branches of the State government, but have never held sufficient power to enable them to dictate the policy of the State. What has been the result? The State debt on the 30th of November, 1868, less funds in bank to pay overdue loans not then presented was $32,293,25. The State Treasurer is now proposing to pay off one million ($1,000,961) dollars of the debt due July 1, 1870, which will be done a soon as presented, and for all prac tical purposes can be considered paid, which leaves us with a debt of $31,795,293. 29, or $6,174,554,21 less than when the Repub fican party came into power. Debt of Com monwealth, November 30, 1868 ...$33,282,443 08 Leia overdue loans not then pre sented; but which bare since been paid 487,150 7# Actual debt, Nov. 30, 1868 $32,795,293 39 Loan of 1876, which the State Treas urer is now proposing to liquidate 1,000,000 00 State debt as it wili stand at the ex piration of this year $31,795,293 29 Debt November 30,1860 $37,969,817 50 Debt November 30,1869 31,795,193 29 Reduction of debt $6.174,534 21 Thus much have the Republican party dooe towards reducing your indebtedness. In addition to this we have paid extra ordinary expenses incident to the rebellion, amounting to $6,012,459,74. Six millions and twelve thousand four hundred and fifty nine dollars and seventy four ceuts, distri buted as follows: Direct tax levied by the United States Government against the citizens of Pennsylvania, but assumed by her self $1,916,719 33 Equipment, pay of soldiers, and all other military expenses 5,300,153 55 Premium on gold to pay interest pre vious to 1865 4*3,774 90 National Ceme'eries 16,'J92 00 Schuykill county draft riots 1,087 41 Relief to Chambersburg 597,(08 74 Soldiers' orphans 1,620,457 69 $9,945,719 33 Deduct military expenses refunded and allowed in settlement with General Government 3,933,433 8S $6,012,459 74 Notwithstanding this enormous expen diture, and the steady reduction of yonr in debtedness, the Republican party, in 1866, repealed the State tax on real estate, tearing it to pay the ordinary expenses of county and local government. This relief, amount ing in the past four years to seven million one hundred and forty-seven thousaud one hundred and three dollars aud ninety-two cents ($7,147,103,92). I say the Republican party did this, for it is well known that the Democracy on the in troduction of the bill by .Mr. Quay, chair rnaD of the Committee of Ways and Means of the House, now secretary of the Repub lican State Committee, used every mean within their power to defeat its passage, one and all predicting that the State gov ernment could not he carried on without it, but on its final passage had not the courage to record themselves against it.

The stride, says an exchange, was long enough to split it up to its chin. DEMOCRACY is a hard thing to under stand. It means negro suffrage in the South, and opposition to it io the North. If this doctrine is right in on place, it cer tainly ought to be in another, but then De mocracy never means consistency. ASA PACKER'S residence is in Mauch I Chunk, except when the assessor or collect or is about, then it is in Philadelphia. How small it looks to see this "bloated" million aire dodging about to escape the payment of his public taxes. WHAT difference does it make to the tax payers? They are sure to he robbed any how, if the Democracy retain power. An ignorant "cuss" can plunder just as fast as a man who can read and write.— Miners' Journal. ASA PACKER has made his thousands out of the sweat of other meu's brows—by spec ulation—by taking advantage of the rise and fall in the price of coal. It is said the late suspension at the coal mines put another million dollars in his pocket. THE principal campaigner of ye Democra cy is advancing in price. Whisky is going up. It calculates the difference between 22 cents per pallon in olden times, aod $1.30 cow, and sees in it a precursor of forthcom ing defeat. Cheap whisky is absolutely nec essary to Democratic success at the polls. NOT IODg ago we undertook to interpret the P's for which the Democracy clamor so loudly thus: Packer, Pershing and Plunder. We have another version, which, in the light of recent developments, scents to us more appropriate: Parsimonious Packer's Purse. THE new Democratic ticket in Phila delphia, just before the election, docs not give much encouragement to the faithful. It is a confession of weakness. The New York Sun says it looks as if things are going bad with the Pennsylvania Demo cracy, and "fears" they will be beaten out of sight. GEORGE H. PENDLETON has boasted on the floor of Congress that he never voted a man or a dollar against the rebellion, or a mouthful of food to the soldiers who were fighting to maintain the government! Mr. Democrat, don't you feel that you belong to a precious party? Wouldn't you give a premium for a skunk hole to crawl into. PACKER is one cf that class of men who affiliated with the slaveholders [fee his pub lie record]. In that affiliation he impliedly believed and declared that "CAPITAL SHOULD OWN LABOR." That means!, NO RESPECT FOR THE LABORING MAN ! Who has ever heard of Mr. Packer changing his views on this subject? WHAT a pity it is so nianv of those Demo cratic boatman are still living—those, we mean, who ducked Asa Packer years ago, when he undertook to tnake them work for .starving wages, so that he could fill his coffers from the oppressed industry of other men. Were they not living, we think we know of several Democratic newspapers who would have denied the ducking affair months ago. PACKER was a member if the Thirty fourth Congress, which met December 3, 1855. The se.'sion extended through niue months, and during all that time Aa Packer war at his desk in the house hut fifty-four days! although it was one of the most if not the most important session that bad ever been held. And for the fifty-four days which he gave to the public service, he drew full pay for the session, $3000; fifty five dollars and fifty five cents for every day he served! GENERAL NEWS ITEMS.

JOHN BOWEN, who occasioned the fright | ful disaster on the Erie railway, at Carr's Reck, on the night of the 18th of April, 1869, by misplacing a rail, was formally arraigned before the court at Milford, Pike county, last week. He pleaded guilty to a charge of manslaughter, and was remanded for sentence. He is an Englishman, 64 years of age, and for the last fifteen or twenty years has been a resident of Pike county. For eight years he was employed as a laborer on the Erie railway track, then bearing a fair reputation. Finally he was arrested by the company on a charge of forging a pay check, hut obtained a release. Bent upon revenge, and afterward stimu lated by a passion for robbery, he carried on | the work of tearing up the rails. Pmlitincw. QOOD NEWS FOll THE FARMERS !
