Withdrawal of Hon. A. Stutzman.
Nomination of Hon. Edward Scull.
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,

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.

The undersigned Republican Senatorial
Conferees of Bedford County, earnestly

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

J. W. LINGENFELTER.
PACKER with his $20,000,000 paid $9,56 j

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
magnitude of this relief can he best under

Fellow-citizens, you have here eighteen

publican governing. Choose you between
them. Respectfully,

POLITICAL ITEMS.
THE Ohio Democrats went from Rose
crans, the War Democrat, to Pendleton,
the Anti War Democrat, at one step. 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!
