I would suggest to the Democrats of the different Boroughs and Townships of Cam bria county, that they meet at their respect ive places of holding elections, on Saturday, Oct. 9th, and nominate a ticket fr Borough and Township officers, f except Assessor,) to be voted for on Tuesday, Oct 12th. F. A. Shoemaker, Chairman County Committee. Morrell ana McDonald. While the democratic canvass is moving on to certain success, and while many dis gusted republicans are taking shelter under thai cacvass, it is somewhat amusing to wit ness the side show got up in the last Alle ghanian by McDonald and Morrell. During the campaign of last full a btory was put in circulation to the effect that Mor rell furnished McDonald with the necessary funds for carrying on the campaign, and the charge received some force from the fact that the radicals adopted McDonald as their can didate and placed his name oo their ticket. We never believed the story, but supposed it to be gotten up as a set off to a still vilei blander got up by the frieuds of McDonald against his opponent. McDonald failed to defeat the democratic nominee, however, and there was, or should have been, an end to the whole matter. Especially should this have been the case from the fact that, not withstanding McDonald's reprehensible con duct, Captain Hite, our manlj' and generous Prothonotary, (with the approbation of sev eral democrats, including Mr. Oatman, our present candidate for Register and Recorder, whom McDonald charges with having pro mulgated the story relative to Morrell and himself,) put him in a position in the Pro thonotary's office which is worth more than the office of District Attorney, to which he failed to be elected. We have said that Capt. Ilite put him in that position, but we bhould rather have said that he left him in it, for he has not been very much out of that office since he was twenty-one years of age. SSo far, so good. The democratic party had not got tired of nursing Mi Donald and McDonald took kindly to the nursing. Ev erything was lovely, etc. But after wailing a whole year McDonald must search for his character, and that search is commenced within three weeks of another election. And just here the questions naturally arise, why is George W. Oatman Eingled out Irotn the scores of persons who asserted the current rumor? and why is the wrong permitted to stand an entiio year without being righted ? The answer to these questions is quite plain. It is an attempt to stab, not Mr. Oatman, Lut the democratic party, for instead t-f at tacking the individual Oatman, aa he might have done long since with a better show of fairness, if not of justification, McDonald lies in wait until Mr. Oatman is selected as one of the standard-bearers of the democracy, when he parades his grievances and thereby attempts to defeat not enly the election it Mr. Oatman but of the other candidates cho een by that party which has fostered and carod for him as no other man Las been fos tered and cared for by any political party in this county, to eay the least. We are free to admit, on behalf of McDon ald, that Samuel W. Davis, the radical can didate against Mr. Oatman, gave Liru his en tire influence last fall against the democratic ticket, and that he (McDonald) is expected to do all he can now to cancel that debt. But if that is his object, why docs he not say so in plain terms? If he must continue to war against the party in which he has "lived and moved and had his being," why not do It manfully, "on the square," without add ing deception to ingratitude. We repeat, we never credited any of the abusive stories circulated against McDonald or his opponent, but we confess that if we did place any reliance in them the corres pondence between McDonald and Morrell would not go very far towards changing our belief. McDonald, whatever may be his po litical errors, has a good character for integ rity. Wby does he not rely upon Otal instead of seeking the interposition of Lis old friend Morrell, who, if the report were true, would be as great a criminal as himself ? But no; these two old cronies must needs whitewash each other, aDd the way they do it is truly refreshing to all beholders. "Ain't I pure . and spotless?" interrogates the immaculate Joseph. "Pure as an angel," is the reply of his friend Daniel. . You never gave me 600 to aid in carrying my election, now - ;d you 1" is the next conundrum proponnd sd by hira whoso coat was of many colors. ;Nary a red!" rcplieth he of the lion's den. Aiid with this kind of salf-glorificatiou they Fife both purified and sanctified and "the tpiriti of Just men are made perfect." i-U tjiith is, this wholo side show i8 got up, not .to help any man's character, but to dofeat a democratic candidate 'and demoral ize, impossible, the democracry of Cambria county -both of which unworthy ol'jects it will signally, fail to accomplish. Judge I'acUcs- and Ills Taxes. "As Foon as one slander against Judge Packer is disproved, radical ingenuity and malignity will invent another. The latest effort of this sort is the assertion that he re fused, while he was a citizen of Mauch Chunk, to pay the local taxes with which he was assessed. Na man Lut a knave would make such a senseless charge, and no one but a born fo;l would believe it. What an in sult it is to common sense to ask the people to believe that he would do so, when every man knows tint, as he is abundantly able to ay them, the law would compel him to do so. The Mauch Chunk Democrat, in the following article, effectually disposes of and cuts up by the roots this miserable and des picable fil.-e hood. What will be the "next lie against Asa Packer, destined no sooner to be uttered than to be exploded? Finding Judge Pucker unassailable in de cent a rul manly controversy, the Radicals have changed their tack of late, and now try to break his popularity with the people by wholesale and- deliberate lying. So it has beeu impudently charged th.it he failed to pay Lis bounty and other local taxes whilst a resident of our borough. But a few figures are needful to expose this mendacity aud the political debauchery in which Rad icals is wallowing. Iu l!sG5 the whole of the taxes of Mauch Chunk Borouyh amounted to $46,IUj.1B- Ot this amount Judge Packer p:ud Borou-rli . . .$3,439 26 . 8,:W(J 526 . . 15.1-13 C2 School Bounty :J2,57 14 Thus it appears that in 18C5 Judge Pack erjpaid over 70 per cent, of the total amount of borough tax levied. In 1CC the total tax levied was $37,801.02. Of this amount Judge Packer paid Botough .$9,315 9G School Bounty.. . , 11.315 Jti 6.9d'J C7 $25,b21 59 In this year then Judge Packer paid over C7 per cent, of the tax levied. Sj copiously had the money flowed into the borough treasury by this system of tax ation that all the bounty inbebiedness was paid off iu this war! What bold liars the radicals must be, to charge that Judge Pac ker bhirked his bounty taxes, when it was only through hira that the burden was dis charged, and the poor man relieved of an enormous taxation. Take the year 1SB7, in which the tot 1 tax levied was S21.SC7 47 Of this amount Judge Pucker paid Borough 5,7fi3 42 School 9,222 8: $14,9so' :30 Here, too, he pays over GO per cent, of the total taxes levied. Iu this year the radical legislature passed the law exempting the stocks of corporations from local taxation. This relieved a great part of Judge Packer's property. Still his real estate and other property remained lia ble to local taxation, and no oue dare say he has not paid every penny of it. But Judge Packer chose to take up his residence in Philadelphia in 18G7 and has hince resided and voted there ! Well, had he not the right so to do 1 Since when has it be come unlawful for a man to take up his res idence where ho plaases? Judge Packer did no more than any other man would do under the circumstances. His business is principally in Philadelphia; most of his time is spent there ; the duties of hi ofilice as Vice President of the Lehigh Valley rail road requires him to be at his post; hence in 18G7 he found it convenient and chose to reside, vote, and pay his taxes in Philadel phia. Out of this a a few fools would make political capital. They will Lave a trouble some time in doing it ; but so far, they have succeeded in writing themselves shameless asses and nincompoops. Packer and Perslilngr. Below will be found a letter from Hon. Wm. A. Pouter, which recently appeared in the Philadelphia Aye. Mr Porter at one time was one of the Judges of the Supreme Court of this State, and discharged the re sponsible duties of that high position with acknowledged ability and integrity. He is a son of tLe late Governor David R. Por ter. His letter is a high tribute to the char acter of the democratic candidates for Gov ernor and Supreme Court Judge : Philadelphia, Sept. 21, 1869. To Qi& Editors of the Age : Gektlemen : A friend has called my at tention to a receut article u the Presst in which this passage occurs: "In the case of the judicial Humiliation, the mistake of awarding it for mere political services is now painfully felt. Hon. William A Porter tep resented the judicial talent before the con vention and public apology will now be made for the error of overslaughing him in the heat of a partisan contest." This article seems to have originated in some misappre hension. I have cot been a candidate for any office w hatever, for eleven years. I was consequently not a candidate before the re cent Democratic State Convention. No per son requested or authorized, directly or in directly, so to represent me. Learning from the newspaper, that I had been a candidate, and supposing they knew more on the sub ject thau myself, I caused the proceedings of the convention to be carefully examined, and I was gratified to find that my name had not been proposed cor voted for", nor men tioned during the sessions of the body. If 1 had beeu a member of the convention, I could with the clearest conscience have voted for Mr. Pershing. I have represented with him the interests of important clients, and 1 found him a man of perfect integrity, of clear head and free from those whims, and caprices which, where they exiat, are the curse of the profession and the disgrace of the Bench. I cannot omit here to say a word ahro of the other caudidate on our ticket. Having fre quently conferred with Judge Packer on matters of business, I can truthfully say that I have seldom met auy man who has impressed me sj much with the accuracy of Lis judgment, the breadth of his views and the purity of his principles. In another re spect, be is a remarkable man, aud that is, in not being chauged by the acquisition of the wealth doubtless the severest test to which any man's character can be subjected. Wheu a student of law, I frequently vn-ited him at his little store in Mauch Chunk, and now after the lapse of thirty years, I can distinctly recall the same cordial greeting, the same unostentatious manner, the same frank and manly bearing, the 6ame liberal and benevolent sontimcuts which have since attracted to him so large a share of the re spect aud affection of his fellow-citizens. I am, gentlemen, very respectfully yours, William A. rpnTEB . Rkmkmleh. that next Saturday is the last day for registering the names of voters. Horses aud Billiards. The "second Washington," after "swing ing around the circle" last week in Western Pennsylvania, for the purpose of aiding the election of the man who, in 1865, declared in a published letter, when he was seeking the democratic nomination for Gove; nor ,Jtbal ho was a democrat "without au affix or pre fix, leturned to Washington on yesterday week. A special dispatch to the Philadcl delphia Inquirer, dated on the day of Grant's arrival at tho seat of government, details his Cist movements in this wise : "After visiting his stables he drove out to the State Department, where he. had a con ference with secretary Fish," ' Pleasure first and business afterwards. Of course it-was in perfect harmony with Grant's well known tastes for all the sports of the turf, that he should pay his respects to his horses and his mares and his yeung co'.ts before condescending to call on the Sec retary of State, Mr. Fish, who was just then troubled with Sickles' blunder in Spain in reference to Cuba. , The same paper, the Inquirer, of the 23d iust., contains the following special dispatch from Washington : 'During the absence of the President an elegant billiard room has been constructed for his use, between the conservatory and the main building, upon the right of the passage leading to the conservatory. The room is handsomely fitted up and wainscoated with narrow t-trips of walnut and North Carolina pine. It is about twenty feet square, afford ing ample room for a large table. It is ac cessible from the private part of the house, only being reached by the passage from the second floor, between the state and private dining room." Although it does not require much iutel lect to play billiards, it is nevertheless said to to be an interesting as well as an exciting game. It mayjherefore be safe to say, that between bis horses in the stables of the White House and his billiards in the White House itself, Grant's time hereafter wiil be entirely monopolized. Oh! what a sad and instruct ive commentary is all this, in the yar of grace 18C9, on the practices and mode of life of our cailier and less gifted Presidents. Times change and men change with them. Let Them be Challenged. The following special dispatch from Wash ington, under date of Sept. 22i, is taken from a Philadelphia radical paper : Postmaster General Cretsswell has granted leaves of absence for eeveu days to clerks in his department from Pennsylvania who de sire to go home to vote, aud tight days to the Ohio clerks. It is about time that this annual raid on the ballot boxes of Pennsylvania by Wash ington city clerks should be kternly resisted by the democracy of the State. A clerk in tho Post Office Department, although a na tive of Pennsylvania, has no more legal i igbt to vote in this State than he would have, if he were a clerk in Boston. This is a self evident proposition, and requires no argu ment to enforce it. Under the present elec tion law three qualifications aie neces-rary in order to enable a voter to exercise the right of suffrage. First, he must be registered ; second, he must have paid a State or county tax within two years ; and, third, he must have been a resident of the district for ten days previous to the election. Can a Wash ington city clerk show that he possesses even one of these requisites. To say that he can is 6imply preposterous. He is registered in Washingtonfiere be pays his taxes and there he votes for city officers. That is his resi dence, and it is a well settled principle that a legal voter cannot have two places of rsi dence. That these clerks should he permit ted to carpet-bag into this State and vote, is a plain aud palpabla fraud on the baltot box. If they will live in Washington, there they must do their voting. We trust that democratic editors through out the State wiil give this matter their im mediate attention. Let the right of these Washington city gentlemen to vote, be chal lenged in every instance, and if the officers of any election boaid receive their votes, let them be prosecuted for a wilful violation of the plain provisions of the eleciion law, On our first page will be found a lengthy report of a recent interview between Judge Packer and a reporter of the New York Sun, a leading radical newspaper. It will be found interesting, and will amply repay a careful perusal. Judge Packer's views are characteristic of the man, ami are marked with all his strong common sense and dis criminating judgment. Who will say, after perusing the sentiments of Judge Packer, as given in this interview, that he is not cmU nsntly fit to be Governor of this great Com monwealth ? We would like to see a report from the same or any other newspaper cor respondent, of a similar interview with John W. Geary. The contrast between Packer and Geary would then be fully apparent. It would be as Hyperion to a Satyr, or as brains and, practical common sense, against inordinate vanity and self-glorification. As esteemed friend in Philadelphia write us words of good cheer from that city in re gard to the political prospects, not only there but also ia various other parts of the State which he ha3 visited. Ha says that the democracy "feel confident of carrying Philadelphia by 3,000, and believe it is pos sible to get a maj irity of even 7,000." The same gentleman, we are led to believe, in forms tho LUrrisburg Patriot, that in all his trave!a he did not meet with a solitary dem ocrat who faltered in his support of Packer and Pershing, but, on the other band, heard of defection in the radical ranks wherever he went. We publish the following soction of the Registry Law for the information of the offi cers of the different boards of election. It will be seen that it changes the time, as well for opening as for closing tbe .polls, from the law as it existed uuder tho old system : Section 16. For all elections hereafter hold en under this act the polls shall be open be tween the hours of six .and seven o'clock, a. m., and be closed at 6ix o'clock, p. m. Although it is the general impression, that a person cannot vote unless his name is on the Registry list, yet such is not tha fact. To be properly registered will of course save the voter a vast deal of trouble and in convenience on the d y of the election. The fourth section of the Registry Law, which makes provision for a failure to have one's name on the registry list and which we pub lish for general information, is as follows : Section 4. On the day of election any per son whose name is not on the said list, and claiming the right to vote at said election, shall produce at least oue qualified voter of the district as a witness to the residence of the claimant in the district in which he claims to bo a voter for tho period of at least terr days next preeding said election, which witness shall take and subset ibe a written or ! partly written and partly printed affidavit to the lacts statea oy mm, woicu auiuani shall define clearly w here the residence is of the person so claiming to be a voter, and the person so claiming the right to vote shall also take and subscribe a written or partly written and partly printed affidavit stating, to the best of his knowledge and belief, where and when ho was born ; that he is a citizen of the Commonwealth of Pennsylva nia and of the United States j that he has resided in the Commonwealth one year, or, if formerly a citizen therein and has moved therefiom, that he has resided therein six months next preceding said election ; that he has not moved into tbe district for the purpose of voting therein ; that he has paid a State or county tax within two years which was assessed at least ten days lefore said election, and if a naturalized citizen, shall also state when, where aud by what court he wrs naturalized, and shall also produce his certificate of naturalization for examina tion j the said affidavit shall also state when and where the tax claimed to be paid by the affiant was assessed, and when, where and to whom paid, and the tax receipt there for shall be produced for examination, unless the affiant shall make oath that it has been lost or destroyed, or that he never received any ; but if the person so claiming the right to vote shall take and subscribe an affidavit that he is a native born citizen of the United States, or if born elsewhere, shall state that fact in his affidavit, and shall produce evi dence that he has been naturalized, or thaj he is entitled to citizenship by reason of Lis father's naturalizition. and shall further swe.ir that he is at the limi of taking the afiidavit between the ages of twenty-one and twenty-two years, that he has resided in the State one year, and in the election district ten days next preceding such election, he shall be entitled to vote, although he shall not Lave paid taxes. The said affidavits of all persons making such claims, and the af fidavits of the witnesses to their residence, shall be preserved by the Election Board, and at the ch so of the eletion they shall be enclosed with the lift of voters, tally list and other papers required by law, to be filed by the return j idge, with the prothonotary, and shall remain on the file therewith in the prothonotary's office, subject to examina tion as other election papers are. If the election officers shall find that the applicant or applicants possess all the legal qualifica tions of voters, he or they shaU be permitted to vote, and the name or names sh ill be ad ded to the lit of taxnbits by the election officers, the word "tax" being added where the claimant claims to vote on tax, and the word "age" where he claims to vote on age, the same words being added by the clerks iu each case, respectively, on the lists of per sons voting at such elections. Address of the Democrat Ic State Central Committee, The Democratic tate Committee, duly impressed with the importance of the ap proaching election, and desirous of discharg ing the duties imposed upon theua in all suitable ways, propose to address tc you a few sincere, earnest words. We desire by the election of Mr. Pershing, to the bench of the Supreme Court, to se cure a Judge of ability and high character, who will be impartial in his great office, and will make the Constitution and the Laws the rule of his judgment and action. The election of Asa Packer, to the office of Governor is recommended by many con siderations of high moment, to some of which we propose to call your attention. Reform is needed in tLe State Govern ment, end be is a fit man to introduce and uphold it. For ho will come to the per formance of public duty, armed with integ rity as with a garment, with a knowledge of the business interests of the people, and with an earnest purpose to do good and re sist evil. ; What has been amiss in legislation and in Executive action at Harrisburg in tecent years, will be rebuked by his election. Eor he has had no concern and no symyathy with the mismanagement of the State finan ces and with the enactment of odious or irn provinent laws : he has been engaged in honorable enterprise of great public utility, and has given bis sympathies always to hon orable men, whether in business or in polit ical life. He has also much knowledge of public life and of public men. This is an iodispensible qualification for the office of Governor, or ot President. Without it4 Ex ecutive service must be badly performed or neglected. Asa Packer represents well one practical effect of our free institutions. ; A penniless youth, and a man of humble position iu the earlier years of his manhood, he has achiev ed a prominent position among the business men of the country, and distinction as a po litical man. He now appears before you, not unsolicited, as a candidate for the high est efface ia the State Government, and holds as such the respect and confidence of of his fellow citizeus, more truly and firmly than could a man of high rank and proud lineage in a country of despotic or aristo cratical institutions. In his case, popular confidence is based entirely upon the solid founnation of real merit ; tried throughout an eventful carer and manifested in honor able, useful, and magnanimous action. Asa Packer, in tbe Gubernatorial chair, will give to us what we greatly need ; a strong point of defence and security against violent, unjust, ill-considered, selfish and partisan laws. He is above all baseness, in dependent of all cliques and "rings," (so called), and as incapable of conscious in justice to politicat opponents as of unworthy subserviency to political friends. He will be just, firm, faithful and tolerant in his great office, if he shall be charged with its duties, and will pursue therein no selfish ob ject, whether of ambition" or of private gain. Asa Packer is a true representative of the industrial interests of tho State and of our great public improvements. His relations with both are extensive, and his views re garding them enlightened and liberal. He will favor and aid the development of the former and all possible extensions of the latter, so that our people sbalf ba prosper ous ad be enabled the better to bear the great burden of their public debt. The present canvass has not been one of excitement or of noisy effort. But we be live that earnest thoughts has been directed bv oar people to the issues involved in it, am! to the respective claims of the candi dates before them. There is a disposition in the public mind (and a proper and timely one) to pass from sectional and adventitious questions connected with the recent war, and bestow attention upon financial, mone tary and industrial ones, which come home to'our people in their every-day pursuits and avocations. Money is scarce for many le gitimate and useful investments ; our taxa tion is in many respects unequal, aud upon some subjects oppressive ; the rates f in terest upon public loa::s are improviJent ; the expenses of government (both State and Federal) a-e excessive, if not profligate, and the relation between capital and labor are uneasy and disturbed ; and then there is un questionably a general lowering of the mor al tone of public life below the level of former times. . , , ' . For remedy for these manifest evils (which none can deny, and, all good men must la ment.) the people must act with energy and and wisdom. They must call better men than they now have to places of public trust, and Viey must break tip the monojtoly of er by the Jiepublican party. The election of Asa Packer will point to reform and im provement in our affair?, and will go a great way toward securing them. For it will mean that integrity aud capacity, high hon or, spotless character, business ability, ex perience in affiirs, and a charitable, tokrent aud magnanimous spirit are appreciated by the people, and that men possessing them, will be secured whenever possible for the public service ; s.ud it will mean also, that a party in possession of unchecked power for many years, whose performance in the administration of government are unsatisfac tory, will be called upon to surrender its power, or to divide that power with another party more faithful or more competent. The Harrisburg Convention claimed for our Stvte the right and privilege of deter mining for herself the rules of popular suf frage within her limits. This right, which was recognized in the Republican platform of 1868, is one of vital importance, and should never be surrendered or waived. For if the right to determine whether Afri cans. Asiastics or Indiars shall be electors of a State or not, be taken away from the States no matter in what way their char acter as sovereign free States is clearly foi.e from them. ' We are not so directly inter ested in the adjustment of suffrage in tho Southern States under the reccnttructiun laws of Congress, as in tbe geccral question of State power over the subject of suffrage. Thjagh we may acquiesce iu the former as an accomplished fact as an exceptional ex ercise of Federal power over seceded States which is beyond recall--we must claim fur the latter an efidnring interest and vitality. Our brethren nf California, have declared at their recent election that they will not agree that Congress shall Lave power to create Japanese and Chinese voters for that State. They claim for themeelve entire jurisdiction over the subjct of Ftiffrage within their State, and will not imrertf'fT it. Nor will we surrender our similar right, if we shall be wisely instructed by history and by rea son, aud shall be regardful of our interests aud our honor. The country desires not Only per.ee, but all the fruits of peace restored concord, re stored prosperity, and a complete" re.tora tion of constitutional rule in all the States. We seek for this; we desire this with all our hearts. So far thn s national policy is concerned, our cause is the tfatlse of peace and of good will among men ; of pure aud just government conformed to fundamental law anl inspired by a humane and Chris tian spirit, and it is opposed only to mis management and wrong to the rude rule of the military in lime of peace and to the plunder of tho peodle.

Grant has been practicing considerable on billiards since his return, aud is reported to be awkard as usual on carmons, but goo i at pocketing.

Vote against the Pledge Breaker. A young man tamad Edwin Stewart was killed in a spoke factory in Mercer. la?t week, by having his bead nearly sawed off by a buzz saw. After receiving the terrible injury he walked a few step6, sat down and died in a few minutes. The Chicago-Grant platform pledged the radical party to leave the suffrage ques tion with the people of the loyal States. The authors and suppporters of the Fift eenth Ameudment have broken this solemn convenant with the people. Down with the Pledge Breakers! William II. nenry, of Coatesvillo. Ches ter county, while laboring under tbe influ ence of liquor. .took along drink from a bottle of corrotive sublimate, mistaking it for a cough medicine. Every effort was rnada by a medical man to arrest the opera tion of the poison, but without success, the man dying the same night. Why Geary invited some Democrats to go to the Louisville Convention appears by the fact that it is heldoD our lection day tne ltn or October! Besides the list of delegates printed in the papers, many more have been privately appointed most of tnera democrats, "lou are oarticularlv requested to be at Louisville on the 12th of October!" All doubts entertained of the emit of Ziacoary x. nocKinoerry, convicted of the murder of Miss Nancy Ann McCandless at Butler, have been dispelled by the confes sion of Hockinberry. He admits the burn ing of Mr.jMcCandlcss' barn ; also the shoot ing over the bed of the young girls in the house of Mr. McCandless, aud finally to the murder of Miss McCandless. There is a boy fifteen years of age. in Black Hawk county, Ohio, whosa father died three years ago, leaving his widow, son an eighty acre farm burdened with a $1,000 mortgage. He has taken sole charge of the farm, paid off tho mortgage purchased a harvester, a sulkey plow, a wagon and a set of harness, besides an $80 sewing mechiue for his mother, and is dow out of debt. -John Bowman, who occasioned the frightful disaster on the Erie railway at Carr's Rock, on the Dight of tbe 18th, of April, 1868, by misplacing a rail, was form ally arraigned before the court at Milfoad Pike county, last week. He pleaded guilty Xo a charge of manslaughter, and' was re manded for sentence. He is aD Englishman. 64 years of age, and for the last fifteen oj twenty years has beeTi s resident of Pike county. .For eight yeara he was employed as a laborer on the Erie railway track, then beaiing a fair reputation. Finally he was arrested by the company on a charge of forging a pay check, bnt obtained a rebase Bent upon revenge, and afterward stimula ted by a passion for robery, he carried on the work; of tearing up the rails. Uon packer -Opposed the War,' In spite of all the proof which has been heretofore given to tbe country, Radical newspaper and PFoutera " rcPrf senting Asa Packer as a fiiend of the rebel lion, and a svmpathizesr with secession. This like all the other stones which they are trying to keep afloat, is proved to be a gross falsehood. On the 17th day of April, A. 1., 1861. a meeting of the citizens of Mauch Chunk was held to give expression to their opinion upon the action of the South. A committee of fifteen was appointed to diatt icsDlutions, Hen. Asa Packer being one rf the oumber. The following are the resolu tions as adopted : . Wheueas, The treasonable conspiracy ot a portion of the citizens of the American Union against our common country has s.t length culminated into an open ami avowed act of waif.tte, commerced by the rebel forces at Chariest n, uuder the direction of the usuriicrs of National authority at Mont gomery ; And whereas, an appeal Las thus been made to arms for the overthrow of the government to which we all owe allegiance uot only by birth but also by every other obligation which ougLt to command the patriotism of the citizens of a free and hith erto prosperous and happy country, there to: e Resdced, Tnat we recognizi no political associations inconsistent with our obedience to the laws 03 administered by a Constitu tionally elected President, no matter to what party he may belong. Resolved. That this is a time for acts rather thau words. The argumrnt has been exhausted. The only question is whether we shall continue to have a country; or whether the glorious nationality, which was our pr u 1 inl eritarce, shall go down to our poste:ity in weak aad di.-ordaDt fragments a lasting memorial of the degen eracy of our times !
