WILLIAM MUTCIILER, Chairman. Philauei.phia, July 31, 18C9. rackcr'n and Pershing's Letters. In this week' paper will be found Judge Packer's and Mr. Pershing's letters accept ing the nominations tendered them by the ate Democratic State Convention. The let ter of Asa Packer is a plain, manly, straight forward production, and is in entire harmo ny with his honest and upright character. He informs the people of Pennsylvania, in language that all can easily understand, that he h is a f.xed and well defined jjolicy, and he states iu plain and emphatic terms what that policy will be. There is not a particle of subterfuge or deception about his letter the wayfaring man, though a fool, can read and understand it nor is there any attempt of the small demagogue to appeal to popular feeling or prejudice over the dead issues of the past ; but a plain, honest and siucere statement of the important and living ques tions of the present. Judge Packer's letter will meet with a warm and generous response from the honest laboring men of the Com monwealth, and will be accepted by them as an evidence on his part of a full and set tled determination to rescue the taxpayers of the State from the systematic robbery to which they have been subjected under the corrupt rule of John W. Geary and his in famous and shameless administration. Tho lotter of Cyrus L. Pershing is brief and to the point, and in it he pledges himself to a faithful and impartial discharge of the duties of tho office to which he has been nominated iu the event of his election. We have only to add to Mr. Pershing's declara tion, that every man in Cambria county, as well as throughout tho State, who knows and appreciates his ability and high reputa tion for every virtue that adorns the charac ter of an honest man, will feel a sure and conscious pride that Cyrus L. Pershing's promise will bo literally and conscientiously redeemed. The Chairmanship of fh State Central Committee. We stated in our paper last week that Wilmam A. Gai.braitii, Esq., of Erie, had been appoint til Chairman of the Democratic State Cmtral Committee, and in that article we endorsed the propriety of his appoint ment. Foi certain reasons, personal to him self, Mr. Galbraith has seen proper to de cline the Lonor, and William Mutcheleb, Esq , of Easton, has been appointed in his place. Mr. Mutcheler has called, as will be seen at the head of tins column, a meeting ef the Democratic State Ceutral Committee at Harrisburg, on Wednesday next, the 11th inst. The appointment of Mr. Mutciiei.ru has taken us somewhat by surprii-e, but as it wna done by Judge Packer, Cyrui L ."eksiting and Cuaules It. Buck a lew. and :.s Mr. Mutcueler lives in Judge Packku'b . fction of the State and knows him and is presumed to kuow his qualifications fjr the tlice we cheeifuily submit to it, believing nd feeling confident that he is the right mau in the right place. If one thing is now certain it is this, that Mr. Mutciiklkr, un known to political fame as he is in Western Pennsylvania, has now a full and complete opportunity to establish his reputation, as an efficient aud working Democrat, as Chair man of the State Central Committee. We trust that there will be a full meeting of the Committee at Harrisburg on the 11th ic6t.. .nd that Judge Packer, Mr. Pershisg, 'Ir. Buckalew, and all the prominent Dem- crats of tho State will be present for con sultation, and we hereby renew to Mr. uIi tcheler our suggestion in the last week's :-eiie, that there should be appointed a Depu ty Chairman, to have his headquaiters in the ity of Philadelphia, and another Deputy r Western Pennsylvania, to reside in the ty of Pittsburgh. Asa Pack m, although a millionaire, is a . icere fiieud of the laboring classes. Corn icing life as a mechanic and passing . iough all the trials incident thereto, he rned by rough experience the friendship jst desired by tho poor man, and when r oeperity smiled upon him he did not for t the lessons of his youth. Nobly did he ud by his hard-fisted neighbor on every - -asion. The feeding of whole families while sir fathers were absent in the army the yment of wages during the war to those . his employes who had enlisted the erec t. a aud endowment of a college for the gra tous education of his neighbors' children - rove him the poor man's friend. The .nuugtneo of Pennsylvania will remember - ece noble acts of Judge Packer when they , to the pells on the day of the election. Oeary as a Plagiarist. Towards the close of the administration of President Pit ree, John W. Geary was sent to Kansas as Governor of that Territory. On the 12th of January, 1857, he sent hi in augural address to the Territorial Legislature. Doing ir.com pelent to write anything in re spectable English, he deliberately pilfered the introductory portion of his message from the inaugural address of Gov. Henry J. Gard ner, of Massachusetts, which had been de livered just two years before. We present the two documents in parallel columns as a matter cf political history. It is as bold a specimen of literary theft as was ever perpe trated, aud is perfectly in keeping with the whole career of John W. Geary : KXTKACT FROM GOVFRN OR HENRV J.

It spreads like a wave made by dropping a pebble into water, forever and forever. Soo.e one is represented as finding a pocket book of finding it where it was not lost of let ting it stick to his fingers of stealing it of stealing it w ith ten dollars in it of steal ing it with a hundred dollars in it of steal ing it and a watch both of stealing little things all his life-time of inheriting a pro pensity to steal from his parent? of stealing and robbing both of stealing, robbing and murdering, all three, etc. That is the way slander grows, as it passes from tongue to tongue, continually enlarging aud assuming new and grotesque n -iy, hideous forms. A mau takes a dram then he is tipsy then he lounges around saloons then he is represented as a confirmed toper then as having mania potu then delerium tremens then as a confirmed lunatic then as whipping his family, etc. when perhaps the one-tenth of the report is not true. A lady of the best charac ter is represented as talking too much as talking too much to men as giving sly hints as being a flirt as being quite easy in her morals as be ing no better than she ought to be as un worthy of friendly recognition as having a guilty look, etc. when very probably she is much better than her tradueers. These little pictures that I have drawn are fully verified in every day's business. But yesterday we listened to a law-suit brought before a magistrate, under the pro visions of a late act of Assembly giving hi:n power to summon a jury and hear petty criminal cases under ten dollars. The charge was larceny. There was a large array of wit nesses, through whom this rumor of stealing had passed, and fattened, and matured. The jury was sworn, sympathizing friends stood round, there were knowing winks, and piti able looks, and pitying sighs. The cause proceeded. The testimony showed that the young man charged with tho crime of lar ceny had only gone to a neighbor's stable and told the family that he would borrow an armful of hay for his horses and return it in a day or two all which he did. He was of course acquitted. Yet the media through which the rumor of this litt'o incident pass ed had magnified it to enormous proportions. The case of Rev. Linn, now being tried by the Ohio Pr;sbytery, seems to be another of the same. Those who were most eager to asperse his character only contradict them selves, whilst those who were most busy in circulating and magnifying the slander again&t him, refused to appear as witnesses at all. Almost every day presents a case where tho vile slanderer is exposed and the slandered acquitted. Yet, still the work goes on. Such :s life. Phidias. Miraculous EjCafe Presence ok Mind. On Saturday last, as the mail train going west over the Ogdensburg aud L. C. Rail road was nearing a road crossing about a mile east of Malone, and while under full headway, the engineer. Hiram Weeks, saw something on tho track, which h at first supposed to be a dog, but on getting nearer it proved to be a child about two years old. He at once sounded the whistle for breaks to be applied, and at the same time put over his reverse lever, in order to stop the train as soou as possible. Ab the engine ap proached the child, and the engineer had blown the whistle a third tiraa for the brakes to be applied, the mother of tha child was attracted by the noise, and appeared at the door of her residence. Seeing her child, and instantly comprehending the danger that awaited it, she ran screaming toward the track to rescue it. The fireman, W. Lavan way, 6eeing the mother's agony on behold iug her child's position, and knowing that sho could not reach it in time to 6ave it from being crushed beneath the wheels, leaped from the engine, and with the fleetness of a deer, as it were, reached the little one just as the forward wheels of the engine were about to crush it. As soon as the mother saw that her child wag safe, she uttered one loud cry of joy, and sank fainting to the ground. Our farmers, 6ays the Lebanon Courier, have just reaped the largest crop of wheat ever raised in Lebanon county. The crops of hay and oats are also large, and the pros pect for a heavy yield of corn is very flat tering. Our fruit trees are loaded down, and so far as relates to the products of the earth, 1869 may be recorded as a year of plenty. Formal Acceptance of Packer and I'crsulng. Philadelphia, July 30, 1SC9. The fol lowing is the letter of Judge Packer accept ing the Democratic nomination for Governor: To (he Hon O. R. Jiuckalcw, Ln's C. Cas sid(, und li. E. Monoghan, Esors., Corn mi If ee : Gentlemen : At the first convenient moment I reply to your communication in forming me of my nomination by the Demo cratic State Convention of the 14th instant, for the office of Governor of Pennsylvania. I desire to make due acknowledgement for this high evidence of esteem and friendship of -my fellow-citizens, and to say that 1 ac cept the nomination tendered me, having at the solicitation of my friends, though with unfeigned reluctance, been induced to per mit the use of my name for the nomination. My acceptance becomes a mattei of course, if not duty, but I announce it with a deep sense of the responsibility assumed. My reliance iu accepting the position of candi date and in agreeing to perform the Execu tive service for the people, is not alone upon my own strength or good intentions, but merely upon popular indulgence and gener ous supOtt, and upon that superintending Providence which can bless the labors of public men. If I shall be placed by the voles of the people in the gubernatorial chair, I shall endeavor to meet the expecta tions of my friend3 and all who have at heart the true interests of our great Common wealth. To this end I shall labor to secure those obj cts in which we feel a common in terest and concern, among which are the preservation of the State credit, the reduc tion of the expeuses of the State govern ment to their lowest practicable point, there by lessening the burdens aud taxation of the people ; the encouragement of a libera! sj-s-tem of improvement for intercourse and trade, in order that production may be in creased, labor more amply rewarded and general prosperity secured, the just execu tion of the laws, involving a cautious aud sparing use of power in the pardon of offen ders, so that good faith shall be kept among the people and crime suppressed ; promotion of the education of our youth by a general system of organized schools and by special institutions of learning, so that knowledge and virtue shall become more and more solid foundations of our free political system ; and lastly, the restoration of puriuy aud charac ter to our government by the pitting down or preveuting of special and corrupt legisla tion and of all improper uses or manage ment of public funds. To these general ob jects, however, should be added a careful attention by the government to the interests of labor. Having earned my bread by the labor of my hands during the many, and I may add. happiest years of my life, and owing whatever I posses3 under the provi dence of God, to patient and honest toil, I can never be unmindful of the interests cf those with whom my entire life ha3 been associated. Inasmuch a my pursuits and training have not qualified me for speech making, or for solicitation of votes, it will not be expected that I shall undertake the performance of active duties in the canvass alwut to begin. But my life, conduct and character are before my fellow-citizens for their examination, and they will afford them better means of judging of my fitness as a candidate for popular support than anything 1 could now say. 1 am, gentlemen, very respectfully, yours, Asa Packer. The following is Mr. Pershing's letter cf acceptance : Philadelphia, July 22. To Hon. Cltas. 11. Buckalew, Leicti C. Cas sidy, and R. E. Monaghan, Esqrs., Com mit tee : Gentlemen : Ynur note of the 21st inst. has been received, informing me of my nomi nation as democratic candidate for Judge of the Supreme Court by the State Convention. This distinguished honor is more valued as it has been conferred without solicitation. I accept the nomination, and should the ac tion of the convention be ratified by the peo ple, 1 shall endeavor to discharge the respon sible duties of the position with impartiality and fidelity. Cyrus L. Pershing. The Game Law in Brief. The Lewis town Gazette publishes the provisions of the Game Law, for public information, in brief as follows : Deer cannot be killed or taken except from the 1st September uutil the 31st December. Grouse or Pheasants can be shot from the 1st August to the 20th December. Patridges can only be killed from the 1st October to the 20th day of December. Wild turkeys can be hunted from the 1st October to the 1st January. Squirrels and rabbits may be shot from the 1st August to 1st January. Woodcock from the 4th July to 15th November. Insectiverous birds, which include? the robin, are prohibited to be shot at aoy time, and it is illegal to rob the nests of wild birds of all kinds. Trout can be fished for with hook and line only during the months of April, May, June and July. Sunday shooting or hunting is prohibited under a heavy penalty. Traps, blinds, Bnares, Ac. are entirely prohibited. Possession of fish or game out of season is sufficient to convict the party, even if they were purchased. The penalties vary from $5 to $50. One-half the fine goes to the informer, and any one couvicted and refusing to pay the fine goes to jail for ten days. A Noble Instance of Generosity. A colored man in this city some eighteen years ago bought his freedom of hia mastsr, and, working hard, early and late, soon was able to buy his wife. He has been prospering since, and he now owns the finest livery and hack stand in the State. His fortune is esti mated at about $50,000. His old master, who, at the time of the evacuation of Rich mond, was worth half a million, became ruined. The former slave, being apprised of the misfortunes of his old master, took him to his house and gave him everything he desired. Shortly after this the old man died. His funeral was a large and expen sive one, and he was borne to a lot in the cemetery paid for by Lis old slave, who also paid for his funeral outlay. Over him was raised a handsome monument, paid for with the colored man's money. The widow of the deceased slave owner lives in a bouse presented by the colored man, who also sup plies her with every comfort. Richmond Journal. A correspondent of the Philadelphia Sunday Mercury says that while Asa Packer gave his money, to erect a new college for young men, John W. Geary entered into a conspiracy with the heirs of Stephen Girard to brirg suits against the city of Philadelphia for the recovery of the fund which now sup ports five hundred orphans in Girard Col lege, ami it is supposed that Geary will institute another suit, (several of them have ing already failed) in case of his re-election-in which he expects to be assisted by the legUlatcre.

He commenced his former campaign for Oovernor by joining the United Ameri can Mechanics, au order which denies ad mission to all persons of foreign birth. He has now completed the rotm of all the secret soc'h-t'e. that have ever sprung up ia this conn try by joining the Rd Men. The Great Council of Red Men commeuced its sessions in this city on Tuesday last. The first public session was on Wednesday morning, and Governor Geary was promptly on hand, everything bing fish that comes to his net now. lie would become a Chinese mandarin, if it would bring him votes. His speech to the Council is contained in our report of ye-terday. He, of course, always entertained great esteem for the Red Men. and at this time has an especially high re gard for them, but admitted that his knowl edge of the order was somewhat limited. This is the first admission his vanity ever permitted him to make that his knowledge on any subject had limits. He hvi beco ne greatly impressed with the patriotism of Red Men when be commanded a regiment, when he commanded a brigade, and after wards had the honor to command a division. He concluded by expressing a wish to be come a member. On Wednesday night, by special dispen sation of the Great Council, which waived in the cause of the highly distingui.-hed applicant the usual preliminary rvbatiou, his Excellency was duly initiated a member of Octarora Tiibe, No. 91, The ctrtmonies on the occasion are said to have been inter esting in the highest degree. The war paint wras laid thickly on the cheeks of the candi date, and his head was adorned with the most gorgeous feathers. Glass beads were hung about his stately neck, and his feet were encased in moccasins. A blanket was thrown gracefully over his shoulders, and it only needed a ring in his nose to give the Governor of Pennsylvania a near resem b'ance Jlo the King of the Cannibal Islands. The tcmahawk and scalping knife were waved over bis head, and the initiation was completed. The ceremonies concMided with a grand snake dmce, after which the new Red Man squatted on the floor before the council fire and complacently smoked his calumet, a short stemmed clay pipe, which brought the bowl in rather inconveniant proximity to the gubernatorial nose. The chief men of the tribe sat around on stumps Yesterday there was a pic nic at llofl man's woods of the Cornplanter Tiibs. The Red Men, previous to starting for the grounds, paraded the streets, the newly in itiated member in the procession, this being his first opportunity to startle the public for some months. He sat in an open buggy, our popular sheriff, Hoffman, holding the reins. The sheriff's breast is also said not to be devoid of loDgings for Dew political honors. Our Red Man was arrayed in a green sash and in his softest and most inane simpers. He bad none of the grimness which he assumes when repeating tbetoiies of his battles, or when lectin ing Dr. Gihon, his worthy Secretary, but looked rather like an overgrown pappoose of the Pottnwato niies. As the procession moved al ng tho streets, the sheriff sternly held the reins as if impressed with the importance of his task, and the pappoose bowed and bowed, right and left, like a man sawing cord-wood, his face all the while expanded with the silliest smiles. At times the ill-assumed sternessof our amiable sheriff would relax, and he, too, would saw away to tha urchins on the right aud left, much to the discomfiture of the great Aboriginal at his si'e. Crowds of boys who gen rally appreciate a good thing, rau after, shouting "there he goes." "that's him with a proen ssh over his shoulder," "hi ! hi !" and one of th-m, observing a roll of paper iu his pocket, shouted "that's another 'supplementary.' " The procession marched to Hoffman's woods, and Gov. Geary made his first pic-nic with tho Corn planters' Tribe, composed mainly of the "Dutchmen who love their lager beer," as the Governor remarked in a speech at Erie a few years ago.

The good effect of the defeat of the carpet-baggers is exhibited in the case of Vir ginia. Since the united votes of the Demo crats and Conservative Republicans tri umphed over the carpet-baggers, A'irginia stocks have advanced three per cent, in the market. The defeat of Geary will have a like result in this State. Meadville rejoices in a ghost.

The "New Era," AtlantH, Ga., one of the leadidr papers of the South, thus endorses HOOFLAND'S BITTERS. Hoofland's German Bitters is well known to the invalid. For many years it has been in use, and its reputation is unimpaired. It is not claimed for it that it is competent te perform miracles, but there are many diseases and dis abilities wtich it cho reach more readily than any other known remedy, aud in all such cases it is an excellent remedy. Dyspepsia, and Diseases resutting from a disordered Liver, or a derangement of the digestive faculties, come within its scope, and persons su2'ering from such diseases have fcund great rtlief from a fair trial of this celebrated Bitters. This remedy is not alcoholic, contains no rum or whiskey, and cannot make drunkards. Its reputation is backed up by testimonials from many eminent Clergymen and others. HOOFLAND'S GERMAN TOXIC Is a combination of all the ingredients of the Bitters, with pure Santa Cruz Rum, orange, anise, etc., making a preparation of rare medi cinal value. The Tonic is used for the same diseases as the Bitters, in cases where some Alcoholic Stimulant is required. Principal Of fice, 631 Arch Street, Philad'a, Pa.

It is a mystery to most people how a combination of medicines put up under one name can have sufficient curative powers to cure so mpny different diseases, and often the very best of remedies are discarded or branded as humbugs because they are recom mended to cure so many complaints. This no menclature of diseases woulj seem to imply some essential difference between the diseases thus distinguished, whereas, they are really one and the same disease, merely differing by the amount of inflammation or irritation iu one organ rather than the other. For instance, from a torpid state of the Liver we have Jaun dice, Nervous and 8ick Headache, Bilious Fever, Dyspepsia, Fever and Ague, Constipa tion, Neuralgia, and innumerable complaints under high sounding Dames, all arising from a disordered state of the Liver. Hence, we say, invigorate that important organ ; purge out the vile accumulation with Roback's Blood Pills, and, once restored to vigor, take Roback's Blood Purifier or StDraach Bitteis to keep it performing its regular f unctions, and vou will be no longer troubled with these many ailments.
