indeed, tliero are, sir, anil in your zeal
to nrocuro votes, and carrv vour narti-
san ends, you passed that act, nml
w lilst you lilovided that, ifiv man
should coino beforo tho election board.
and prove that ho was not a deserter
and had a right to vote, he should Imvo
that right. You provided no manner
in which tho roils should bo corrected
and his name stricken from tho list-
but you left his namo there, and com
pelted him at every election to make
tno saino prooi, aim wncn no dies, ins
familv. for all time to come, are to bo
taunted witli his being a deserter. That
sir, was ono of tho things that I object
ed to, from the stump, in tlie County of
Sullivan. If that is a defence of tho
right of deserters to vote, then mako
tno most oi it.
Tho petition assorts "thnt tho Demo
cratie sheriir and commissioners liavo
placed a largo majority of their parti
sans in tho Jury-wheel, including i

they aro as free from partisan feelings

I think I can establish that fact beforo
1 am through. 1 hold in my hand lists
of tho iuries drawn in tlie year ISM,
and for February court, 1807, certified
by the iirothonotary and commissioners
of Sullivan county.
Dy a special act of Assembly but two
jury courts are held each year; but a
third or a fourth can be, if deemed ne
cessary by tho court.
Three jury courts were held in tho
year ISCii, viz: February, May and
December.
You will remember that I referred to
tho fact asserted in tho petition "that
tho county is intensely Democratic,"
that wo polled nearly a two-thirds vote.
Let us see how the juries were compo-ed.
In the traverse-Jury, of February, 181SH,

and twenty-ono Democrats, and live

his namo is not found on tho certified
ist, nor on tho rooordd sent to Sullivan
county. It was only tho wickedness of
tno Hearts ol llioso men, or uicir parti
san feelings, thnt caused this dilllcully.
Tliero was no evidence, i nm liiiormcu,
beforo tho election botird that this man
was a deserter. You cannot Unci any
evidence on tho record that ho wns a
tlcst rt t ; ami now they coino hero ami
mnko tho assertion thnt ho was n well
known deserter. Tho gentleman irom
Hradford county, In tho House, Mr.
Kinnev.l referred to tho very "patriotic
class of citizens who fought Leo In Can
ada." etc. 1 would advise tho gentle
man not to no so very narti upon ins

Ho thought tho stump speeches ho used
In Hradford County would do to uso in
tlm bnll of thn lloiisn of ltenresenta-
tlves, and thought they would apply to
tho Democratic party, when, unfortun
ately, they applied moro to his own
lr em s t urn to tno J'emocriuic puny.
Communications have been sent to tho
naiiersof hradford and Sullivan coun
ties, by sonio person claiming to bo an
outsider, but who, I believe, is nmem-
oer, in wnicn tney navo endeavored to
cxcHonnd get up a partisan feeling, in
wliicli thevsav tusticc cannot bo done
unless this cao is transferred. 1 nm
anxious that, wherever this caso. is
tried, it shall bo tried upon the
merits of tho case, without parti
