John Covode ami his "hurabuggedist Governor," John W. (Jcary, both addressed . t.i'ical meeting in the Court House at reeimburg, on Tuesday of last week. Of urne, coming from two such moderen So 'ni, they were rich intellectual as well as 'ritorioal displays. A prominent member of the radical par ty iu P.lair county and an equally proruineut luciuher of the s;tme parly in lluutiugdon county, were in this phico last week, and avowed themselves an fctrong and decided friends of the election of Judge Packer. There will be quite a large and respectable trmy of this kind of recruits when the sec ond Tuesday of October arrives. Tim lielrcncbment Committee appointed by the last Congress, with their wives and children and their marriageable daughters nnd grown-up sons, are all off on their trav els, and having a few days ago got as far as "Chicago on their frolicking tour, left for Cal ifornia. The question arises, who pays for ji'l this and what oik1 is ever to corao of it? Was there ever a people so basely robbed swul pluudered ? W'n.r. the Freeman bohor.est enough to Inform its readers that the present of a tract rf hind iu New Jersey to General Grant by ;tn admirer was peremptorily declined? AHi'ihaiiiaii. The Freeman, will do no such thing, for tho simple reason that it has never seen any authentic denial of the matter. As Grant wns never known to refuse anything in the frhnpe of a present, we ask the editor of the AVeghaninn himself to furnish the evidence that U. S. Grant " peremptorily declined to accept tf fifty acres of land near the classical village of Britksburg, in Ocean county. New Jersey. To refuse a present Is not the style of our Second Washington," as will be seen from n very recent Washington dispatch to the Philadelphia Inquirer, a leading radical pa per : Present to tttb Peestdknt. One thou sand fine segars, from a San Francisco firm, packed in glass boxes rf one hnndred each, with thejmonogram of the President on each box, and the small end of each segar tipped with gold leaf, were received yesterday at the White IIou.se, but not opened till to-day, by Colonel Douglass, Private Secretary to the President. And so it goes from houses in Washing ton city to land near Erickburg and one thousand fine ecgars from San Francisco. Will the editor of the AUojJianian inform us whether any former President, from the Jirst to the second Washington, so called, ever dis honor himself in this way ? Tlie Johnstown Tribune. For the sake of the argument and to please the editor of the Johnbtown Tribune, wc will admit that Asa Packer was a mem 1 or of tho Baltimore Convention, in 18G0, that nominated John 0. Breckinridge for President. Was there anything criminal in Judge Packer, or any other democrat, voting fur John C. Breckinridge in 18G0? lie was then tho Vice President, and by common consent, was regarded as one of the forcni'-ht statesmen of the country. At that timo his patriotism was unquestioned and bis public reputation untarnished. Ilcnev i r became a rchd uulil ho left his seat ia the Senate, which was during the Eummor of fc61, afier the war Lad commenced; and tbcrctore political friendship for him in 18C0 was no badge of disloyalty. The electoral ticket that was voted for by the democratic party of Pennsylvania in November. 1860, was known as the "Heading ticket," and va8 composed of Douglas and Breckin ridge democrats. For that ticket Asa Pack er voted, and so did John W. Geary, for Gearv claimed to be a democrat "without affix or prefix," even in the spring of 18C( long after the war had closed as the ed itor of the Tribune can discover by referring to Geary'a letter to Sam. Magnire, of I'hila delphia, when he fGeary) was seeking the democratic nomination for Governor. Pack er and Geary having therefore both voted for tho "Beading ticket" in 1860, and G?ary claiming to have been a simon pure democrat as lato as 1 806, the difference be tween them up to that time ia not very ap parent to the Freeman. Where does the editor of the Tribune get his authority for the broad assertion that Asa Packer, when he was in Europe, con sorted for two whole years with rebels. This is a roost grave and serious charge, and we ask the editor of the Tribune to produce the proof of its truth if he can. While on this subject, we will venture to ask the edi tor of the Tribune whether he will permit to publish a certain conversation which took place between himself and a prominent democrat of this county, in a Pennsylvania Kail Road car, about one week previous to Judg Packer' nomination, and ia which the editor of the Tribune expressed himself very emphatically as to the result of the con test, in the event of Mr. Packer's nomina tion ? It ought to be ventilated and proba bly will be on feme future occasion. Judge Dent. This gentleman, who is a brother-in-Taw of President Grant, has acquired- considera ble prominence in view of the probability of his becoming the conservative candidate for Governor of Mississippi, where he formerly resided. Grant having violated all his sol emn pledges to the Southern people and hav ing surrendered to the extreme radicals, and thereby placed himself in opposition to Judge Dent, Jthat gentleman has seen proper dis tinctly to defiue his position, and to express in language easily understood his views of the situation. We trust that Judge Dent will be nomi nated iu September. If he is, notwithstand ing the opposition of Grant, he will carry Mississippi as easily and on the sunae dis tinct and well defined principles as Walker did Virginia and Senter did Tennessee. Who cau doubt this result and why should it not take place ? Judge Dent has written a letter to a gen tleman in Jackson, Miss., from which we take tho follow iug sensible aud statesman like extract : "I am graMfied at the election in Virginia and earnestly hope for Mississippi a like happy result. It is upon this basis that we hope for a speedy restoration of good govern ment in tho South, with her diseordact ele ments reconciled and her. true men of all par ties re-united. On the basis of the election there is the commencement of a new era in the politics of the country, and it is gratify ing that so many good and wise men are lay ing hold of it as the panacea for all our polit ical ills. "The timo has arrived for breaking boldly away from the prejudices and preedeats of the past. The policy adopted in Virginia is the dawn of a belter feeling. It will change the whole surface of Southern politics, and transmute what has been under the recon struction acts an element of discord into a source of reconciliation. The question of ne gro suffrage pending the fifteenth amendment becomes fixed and irrevocable, aud if wisely managed the measure may happily become the means of more nearly adjusting the bal ance of power between the North and tho South. The great agricultural and commer cial interests of Mississippi, in which my wholo soui is enlisted their resuscitation and development are yet to constitute no small share of the political topics of the fu ture of our State; and in view of this fact, together with the earnest appeals wbich have come from so many sources no less re spected than patriotic, I have consented to become a candidate for the office of Govern- or. l am not witnoui oisiruss oi my uiucsa for so distinguished and responsible a posi tion; but nra cheered b- the assurance that if elected I shall have the hearty and earnest co-operation of wise and virtuous men of all parties in establishing good government, har monizing her every interest, and restoring the State once more to her proper relations to the Federal Union. I have the honor to be your friend, siucerely, Louis Dent." feaint Domingo. It is well known that Mr. Cole, a radical member of the United States Senate from California, has gone to Hayti. as a secret commissioner of the government, to open ne gotiations for the annexation to this country of St. Domingo. Why this thing should be attempted is a matter of complete surprise, and is one of those wonders of which the pre sent administration has been so remarkably prolific. St. Djmingo comprises the eastern portion of the island of Hayti, and contains a population, mainlycom posed of ncgroesand mulatoes, of 140,000. Its inhabitants are now and have been for a number of years in a chronic state of revolution. But then the radical party seems determined to take under the protecting Cag of the Union all the ne groes on the globe. We snppose that the annexation of the barbarous kingdom cf Da homey will next engage the active atteution of Grant and hip Cabinet. White men dis franchised at the South and the whole Afri can race taken under our protection ! Tbat our readers may know something about St. Domingo, its government and its people, we will let a Philadelphia radical paper tell the story : The Island of St. Domingo which already has gravitated into the line of those detached portions of the American Continent which seek a place in our Union has, Bince the first whimpers of its annexation arose, been the theme of many articks, written by par ties well informed as to its wealth, or rather its poverty, its natural resources, its pros pects, nnd the characteristics of its popula tion. Now, waste, confusion and idleness prevail; no settled government exists; no steady employment is afforded the people ; no regular cultivation is given the soil. All writers and visitors ackuowledge this sad state of things, and yet all concur in stating that, beyond a doubt, could a secure and permanent government be established, the Island would become the centre of a numer ous population, rich and flourishing, and that the almost marvelous soil would be made to produce abundant and valuable crops of tobacco, cotton, coffee, and other important articles of export, instead of a rank and use less vegetation. Although the vials of radical abuse and detraction have been and in the future will doubtless continue to be freely poured out on the devoted head of Asa Packer, yet his fair name and reputation still command the unqualified approbation of the leading jour nals of that party. He may be denounced his history and career ever since he set his foot on the soil of Pennsylvania may be tor tured aud misrepresented yet ho stands like a rock of granite against all such pigmy as saults. Even the Philadelphia Press, which is ever foremost in its assaults upon demo cratic men and measures, is forced to pay tribute to the moral worth, integrity and eminent talents of Jndge Packer, and that testimony it clinches in a recent issue by de claring that it has no desire to retract, alter modify or unsay a single word thai has ever appeared in its columns concerning him. It admits that in many respects he has a rscord of wbich the State may well be proud, and that if we had more such citizens the Com monwealth would be more developed than it U as yet. When leading journals are com pelled to speak thus favorably of our candi date it is little odds how much abuse and vituperation may be heaptsd upon hiaa by obscure country journals and small fry poli ticians throughout the State. Ass Packer will certainly be elected, as he deserves to be. From Our European Correspondent. The "fvyage Out Burial at Sea How to Dress for an Ocean Trip -Giants' Causeway Ailsa Craig Glasgow,- Ifc, tfC. Glasgow, July SO, 1860. rt'SLisTtEB Frekman I found myself at noon, on the 10th inst., on board the steam ship Cambria, at Pier 20, North River, New York, about to start, again to cross the Atlantic, the vessel clearing for Glasgow, via Moville, Ireland. Notwithstanding the frequency of the occurrence, the sailing of a European steamer always draws together a crowd of people, some on ship and some on shore ; about one-third of those on ship are passengers, the other two-thirdshaving come to see the one-third off. Of conrse there is bustle (with the present style of ladies' dress. much bustle,) and confusion, and much chatter and wagging of female tongues, until the order is given for those not passengers to go ashore, when there is a general ecramble for the gangway planks, and soon afterwards the pier is lined with several rows of up turned weeping and grinning visages, while much waving of cambric, cotton and silk handkerchiefs is indulged iu by those who are so fortunate as to not be included in the "go ashore" order. Your correspondent watching the scene did not see one familiar face among those displayed to 80 much ad vantage on the dock, and he remained quite quiet , and calm as the ship slowly moved away from the dock, out into the beautiful river and down the bay ; which, as a ro mantic passenger stated, "she was so soon to leave, to struggle against the waves of old ocean." She did leave the bay, but for once old ocean "went back" on the roman tic passenger, and instead of the rough weather that the party wished to foretell we had, for eleven days out of our thirteen days passage, as smooth water as one would find in the North River iu her calmest moments. Notwithstanding this effort of the "mighty deep" to allow our billions passengers to cross without being sick, some parties tcouU avail themselves of a chance to suffer and would waste the ship's provisions. The passage across the Atlantic iu a first class steamer, has been bo often described, its many pleasures and exciting incidents ex patiated upon, and the great fund of infor mation acquired from shrewd sailors by land lubbers making their first voy.tge, so often written out for the benefit of those who stay at home, that I propose, on thin occasion to say nothing about it. but to deal directly with the vo)'age. just concluded. We had the usual excitements of course, saw whales spout, icebergs, got into fogs, took the log regularly and always atttnc'el meals. A burial at sea also full to our lot, a poor Ger man steerage passenger, evidently far gone with consumption when ho came on board, and anxious to reach his native land to die, yielded to his disease whan we were but a few davs from port and hod to be buried at sea. The corpse was sevred up in a piece of new sail cloth, with a weight attached to his feet. At the hour appointed for the burial, the bedv covered with the Union Jack is laid upou a board on the side of the vesiel. while the crew and passengers, with uncovered heads, gather around ; a chapter from the Bible is read by the Captain, a short prayer offered by a clergyman, a pass enger, and as the ship sails aloDg at her ten or twelve knots an hour, the body is com mitted to the deep. Such an occurrence casts a shade over all merriment for the bal ance of the day, but on the morrow all is forgotten and the usual pastimes are in- du'ged in. In connection with my narrative ot the present trip. I think I may be doing a ser vice to some of your readers who may possi ble contemplate crossing the ocean, by advising them in relation to clothing for a trip of the kiud I have just taken. I na7e crossed the Atlantic three times, and I think I am safe in saying that one-half of those who have been my fellow passengers, have not been dressed warmly enough, and not only lost much of the pleasures oi the voy age from that cause, but in some instances actually suffered from the cold. Steamers sailing "to Glasgow, Liverpool, etc., generally tuko a Northerly course, and though the weather may be intensely warm at home, after a few days at sea it will be cold, and it ia best to be well prepared for it; therefore let your sea going reader carry with him a suit of heavy winter clothing, heavy under clothing, heavy . overcoat and wear btout boots; ladies need cloth or water proof dresses, woolen hoods, heavy veils and good thick shoes. Thus prepared they may brave rough weather, keep on deck and probably thus escape an attack of that much dreaded (aud tr be dreaded) disorder, sea bickness. Our steamer was not a fast cne, but we made our first land at Moville, Ireland, on the North Coast, at noon on the twelfth day out, and ns the green shores of Erin came in view there was a general exclamation of admiration of the beautiful fields and hill tops, and by common consent it was declared that land was De'er so beautiful before. The fact that it was the first land visible for so long a period, may have had consid erable to do with its beauty. After landing our passengers for Ireland, most of them Irish passengers, the vessel turned about and headed for Glasgow. Soon alter leaving Moville our course brought us in view of the celebrated Giant's Causeway, a promon tory of stupendous basaltic columns, jutting out into the ?ea somo twelve hundred feet and forming a national curioeitj', more won derful aud grand than any thing man has yet produced. Columu is piled upou column, aud column set betide column in tho most regular order, and held together by a cement of nature's manufacture that time will prob ably never effect. After passing tha Cause way our course led us among numerous islands and rocky headlands, one remarka ble object being the Ailsa Craig, au immenso mass of rocks rising over one thousand feet above the sea, whose waters dash against it on all bides ; thousands of wild fowls circle in the air above the rocks, and in a shelter ed nook on one side a small hut is been, tho smoke issuing from its single chimney, in dicating that it is occupied. What singular fancy could iuduce any one to select such a place to reside in I cannot pictend to say. Oue facetious passenger wanted to know how they would go for the doctor if any one got sick. Soon after parsing Ailsa Craig, we enter the beautiful Firth of Clyde, and with beau tiful scenery on all sides and a clear bright sky above us we 6peed aioug uutil we reach Greenock, at the mouth of the Clyde,, to !rarn that the tide is out, and for twelve hours we must lie at anchor before we eon run up to dock at Glasgow. But a few years ago, the Clyde was bo shallow thnt vessels of more than two hnndred tons burthen could uot reach Glasgow at all, now vessels of two thousand tons can, at high tide, sail directly to dock in Glasgow. This good work of deepening and widening the river ha3 not been accomplished without a great expenditure of time and money, but Glasgow nas reaped the advantage ia in creased trade and direct shipment, and receipt of rnerchanctee. When ' the tiie served us, our steamer again got UDder way and leifiure.y proceeded up the river, lined on each bank with extensive t,hip . yard. with vessels in every stage of progress : the ship yards of the Clyde and Clyde built vessels being famous the- world over. . Two hours ride up the river and we reached Glasgow, where the family, that for two weeks sojourned on the good ship, broke up and separated, each taking the directioa that suits his business or pleasures, and many sad to say farewell. A rest at the George Hotel, an excellent honse, a good bath, etc., and I started to se the sights of the city. Glasgow contains a population of about 500,000, is thriving and busy, and carries on an extensive commerce. Along the Broomielaw, the landing at the river side, vessels of all nations are to bo seen, and merchandise of every description being dis charged from vessels. As before remarked. C'yde built vessels are world renowned, and it is peirhap" appropriate that the boat yards of the Clyde should supply the finest ocean steamships yet afloat, as it was here that the first steamer built in Europe was launch ed, and here James Watt, who first sup plied steam power to vessels, was born. The principal object of interest in Glasgow, and the one first visited by sight Feeing tourists is tho old Cathedral, nearly seven hundred years old. The greater portion however has been renewed, only a few por tions of the building, the Choir and Crypt giving evidence of great age. The date of their construction is 1 175. The windows in the Cathedral are most splendid speci mens of glass staining, and beautifully illus trate different incidents. in sacred history, from the beginning of the world to Christ's ascension. Glasgow has been Etyled the eity of merchant princes, and very many wealthy merchants are residents there I believe, but I must confess that in none of the cities of Europe that I have before visited, did I see so much misery and pover tv. It may be found in other cities; but it certainly is more apparent in Glasgow than in any other city. Women barefooted, bareheaded and almost naked, were to be found on the most public streets in large numbers. Gin and whiskey palaces ore at every corner and on every hand, and to these, I have no rToubt, can be traced a very great deal of this poverty and want that exhibits itself. Much ha been done by the friends of the temperance cause in Glasgow, towards stopping or regulating the sale of liquors, but beyond prohibiting snch estab lishments from opening before a late hour in the morning, when it is pupposeil those cf the laboring classes who have work have pono to it. little has bwi accomplished Full liberty seems to be allowed in the even ing, and a thriving trade carried on. It was my intention to have given you. in this letter, sonce account of a visit to Kdin burg, but leaving that for a future letter, I close this. B. COMMITS ICATIOX. LIFE ILLUSTRATIONS. No. 5. SYMPATHY. The Greeks had a good maxim, which was "Know thyself" (anotlti sautvn.) and which is as pertinent to our tlay as it was then. Every man is controlled in his actions by false attachments aud false sympathies. A rnau's own property is better ia his estima tion merely because it is his own. A man's horse, or house, or farm, seems to him to be much more valuable before he sells it than afterwards. The moment that anything which was your neighbor's becomes your own, an additional value is placed upon it, and a stronger attachment is cherished for it. A book agent was lauding his reading books to the skies, the other day, because they were the newest works rut, and new works were always the best. While he was thus engaged another agent presented him self before the Director, with the newest and latest system out. The first agent couldn't see the point. A lawyer in court had a client who was charged with selling liqnor to a minor, lie appealed to the sympathy of the court and jury. The client had a large family to keep. Besides, the distinction between a minor of nineteen and a person of twenty-one was only a fancied distinction. If liquor would hnrt a person nineteen years old it would injure one twenty-one yeais old. He won hia case. The next case that came up was of a similar kind, but tbiB time our at torney was on the minor's side. He depict ed, in true rhetorical styled the horror of presenting poison to the lips of innocence. The judfre remarked that he had been argu ing a diilereut logic awhile ago. Ihe law yer, nothing perturbed, reoliea that he might have been wrong then, but he felt sure, judging from the feelings of his own heart, that he was right now. Ue won the second case. A lady who was reading a novel about pirates capturing a vessel and throwing in nocent women and children overboard, burst into a flood of tears. Just then the kitchen girl spilt a crock of b.itter over the carpet, and the sympathetic lady took her to the cellar, tied her and whipped her half au hour with a cow hide. A few years ago, befora slavery was abol ished, a farmer in Indiana count)' spent half his time in distributing anti-slavery docu ments, and in showing runaway slaves the underground railroad. Not long afterwards he burucd his son almost to death in the cook stove. One of the latest cases of the kind is the reported mtirder of a married woman by a boarder in tbe family, because, as he says, he always loved her. Such remarkable cases of falm; sympathy and false or assumed attachments occur every day. They are in deed strange nnd remarkable, hut they are so numerous that we become accustomed to them. The very latest case of a false sym pathy that we have noticed occurred yester day. A deeply intoxicated man was bidding a sober friend gooj-byc, and after shaking hands ho said, "Now, Tommy, see that you (hie) take (hlc) care of (hie) yourself!" Phidias. An inhuman wretch by tho namo of Schubert, crossing the plains from one of the Western State to Walla Walla, with a wife and two sLep'daughtcrg, the oldest aged about neventeeu years, qnarrellod with his wife and family near the mouth of Sinker Creek, Idaho Territory, took the wagon and team, with a'l their effects, leaving the woman and two girls on the sage plain en tirely destitute. They were rescued by travelers and taken to Silver City. Mrs. Schubert and her daughters are represented to be very intelligent ladies.. -A allocking accident ocenrred at Terre Ilante, Indiana. on the 16th. As the family of Perry E. Tuttle, a prominent merchant of that city, were takiug a plea3ure drive, in crossing the railroad track in the northern part of that city, the Carriage was struck by a coal train which, unobserved, was backing op, and demolished-the carriage, throwiug out its occupant. Misa Laura Tuttle, a young lady aged eighteen years, fell upou the track and was literally tut to pieces by the passing train.

It is maintained by some that the stealing by persons in official position, by contract ors and others, during the war, almost equalled the legitimate expenses. In all de partments of the government the most scan dalous practices prevailed. Senators were openly interested in contracts ; members of tha Cabinet touched the plunder through the medium of relatives, friends and agents ; Congressmen negotiated for partnerships with shoddy contractors, and thus the cfii cial Ring was completed. Isot an article was supplied which did uot cost three timea, aud in some cases, three hundred times, its value, while the disbursement of funds af forded an ample field for the display of that kind of official manipulation for which the Radicals are so celebrated. Millions of the debt under which the people are now stag gering was contracted in this rascally man ner, and the party perpetrating the outrage will yet be called to account for their conduct at the bar of public opinion. The same want of houesty which we have chronicled with reference to the monetary affairs of the nation, is to be observed iu this State. Here the Kadicals have had full control for the past eight years. The Gover nor has been of that political party, and in both branches of tbe Legislature the Radical majorities have over-reached all opposition. They could pass any bill they desired, inau gurate any policy agreed upon in caucus. I hey managed the revenues ot the btate ; said how much should be collected, and who should disburse the money. All appropria tions were passed by the ruling party, and the pay-roll of the State was arranged by them." The State Treasurer is a leading member of the Radical party, and hence they are fully and entirely responsible for the management of State finances. The re sponsibility cannot be shifted. It lies at the door of John W. Geary, and the men by whom he is surrounded. In connection with this Fubjrct, we print the following from the Ilarritburg Patriot. It 19 truly startling : The reports of tbe Auditor General for 1?67 nnd fctH, tnken in connection with the state ments contained in the laet annual message oi (Jovernor Henry, develope the astounding fact that during the last two jesre upwards of klev ex millions or dollabs have been taken from the State Treasury, only four millions of which have been Hpplied in payments on the State debt, leaving sKVkN millions to be ac counted lor in nppipriatioHS tor the current ex penses of the Commonwealth, interest on the "State debt, and othkr r.xrMiTCRi:s. At the end of the fiseal year of Ifcbb, there remained in the Treasury - - 1,741,033.27 During the fiscal year of 1&67, the receipts at the 1 reasury, exclusive of State loans, amounted to - - - - -During the fiscal year of 18(58, 5,423,3.10.07 the receipts at the 1 reasury were - - - 5,21 CAM .r5 Receipts in two Tears - - - $72,3,112.37 .Balance in the Treasury at the end of last fiscal year, Nov. 30, 166cf - 1 012 -23 37 Taken out of Treasury in two j ears $11, 367 ,925 .37 Thee figures are taken from the reports of theT Auditor General for 1867 and lfcbd, and the reader is referred to those documents for verification of them. From these statements the fact appears that eleven millions three hun dred and sixty-peven dollars were taken from the Treasury during the fiscal years of 1867 and 18C8. In Governor Geary's last annual mes sage, transmitted to the Legislature J aDuary 6, 1S69, is found tbe following : "By the report of the Commissioners of the Sinking Fund for the year ending September 3, lt67, the loans redeemed amounted to $1,794,569 5l, and by their report from September 3, 167, to Novem ber 30, 1868, 'the loans redeemed' amounted to $2,4i4,bi5.l, making a total reduction of the State debt' in two years and thre months, of S4. 20986. 14 " By the Auditor General's re ports, we have learned tbat the sum taken out of the Treasury during the two yrs. of 1867 and lbbH, waa - - $11,357,167 .52 By Geary's message we ascer tain that the whole amount of the State debt paid off da ring a period of two years aud three months anterior to November 30, lfeCB, was J 1 Leaving for cur't expenses, etc. $7,i;b,li.31 It now remaius lor the delendera of Govern or Geary's administration to show wcatbecame of the evkn millions and upwards remaining in the Treasury atier the payments made on the State debt. How much of the sum was wa;tcd in extravagant appropriations? How much of it was squandered in increased rates t ot iiiterett on the State debt? II ow much of it was given to Radical State oiUcials aud a Radical Legislature, in the shape of increased salaries? How much of it was stolen by Rad ical pasters and folders, and other officials of the Legislature who did not render a day's ser vice to the Commonwealth? And let it also be explained how it comes that upwards of one million dollars are permitted to lie useless and dead in the Treasury, when that sum might be applied to a further reduction of the State debt nnd the saving of a large amor.nt of interest to the tax payers of the Sraie. TVhat has become of the seven millions? Who gets the interest on the one million? Where does the money go, and who are the thieves? From the above, it will be seen that up wards of seven millions of dollars have been abstracted from the State Treasury in two years, about which tho tax payers have no information. It ha? not been used for legit imate purposes. If it had, the vouchers coald bo produced, and a detailed statement spread before the people, showing the manner in which each dollar left the Treasury. Such has been the practice under Democratic Stato Treasurers. They would not suffer money to be drawn from the office, Hnless all the requirements of the law were fully complied with. Rut under tbe Radicals a far differ ent system has prevailed. The State Treas urer was sold to the highest bidder, all the successful "Ring" bought both the man and the control of the office. State funda were farmed out to parties making the highest bids, used to procure tho nomination and election of members of the Legislature favor able to the choice of a particular man for custodian of the money of the Common wealth, and thus diverted from their lawful and legitimate channels. In this way the doors of tho Treasury were opened to the foot of the spoiler, and tbe reult can be feen. Useless appropriations by the Lcgis latnrc. an enormous and unnecessary increase of officials, and a misuse of State funds have produced sad consequences. The people's money is unaccounted for. Millions have been taken from the tre-asury and no account rendered. And yet Governor Geary is a candidate for re-election, and the tax-payers asked to vote to keep tho men in power who are directly responsible for the present state of the treasury of tho Commonwealth. There mast le a change. Reform will come in no other manner. If people are tired "of being robbed, let them turn out John W. Geary, elect a democratic Legislature, and they will hit the right nail on tho head.
