merits upon the assumed possession of
which it is based. Hut our people had
many substantial virtues, sufficient to
aione abundantly for their indulgence in a
pleasant foible. Among these was the
principle of gratitude, to which none hut
truly noble iiatii'es are subject. That
they possessed it was proved by their
promplr.-ws in hastening to relieve and
comfort the French refugees whom the
Reign of Tenor had driven to our shores
when it was devastating that fair realm
acr i.-s the Atlantic which had been the
first to extend assistance and s ntpathy to
us in tho hour of need.
We have vivid recollections of sitting
for hours patc'nvoik in hand at the feet
of a deer relative in tho pleasant home of
our childhood, listening to thrilling talcs of
those times, many of them connected with
the French emigrants of the coidial hos
pitality with which all the hon.es of hor
native city of Hartford, Conn., were tli.iwn
open to M-ceive tlieso interesting exiles : of
the . shifts the inhabitants devised mid 'the
discomforts they endured in order to pro
vldn eoinfottabie thelrer and sustenance

nisc!ves had bnt.jist passed
", '" ii'''i relative was tlie possessor
t a small gold eket of antique fashion
and exquisite woi kmaiiship. which was an
object of unceasing admiration to our
childish f.ii'cy. In form it was an ohl ng
octagon. The bordi'i was a graceful tiny
pattern iu mosaic gold inlaid with ame
thyst and pearl. In the centre were two
miuiatuies painted on glass with marvel
lous distinctness and accuracy; the one a
likeness of that most unfortunate queen,
Marie Antoinette, tha other of her beloved
si:ter-iii-lf.w, the aim ible Princess- Eliza
beth. A heavy pebble crystal, perfectly
transparent, covered ihe pictures without
in the least, obscuring their delicate tints.
In tho hack of the locket was an open
pace, within which, our relative said, v::s
once laid, upon the ground of dmk satin
that still remained, a knot formed by two
small locks of glossy, silken hair, one a
light r -jse-tinged auburn, the other r! iicen
with a golden sheen. A glass covered
these also.
After much persuasion our relative rela
ted to us the following
STOKY OK THK I.OCKKT.
My father was an officer in ihe Conti
nental army, and, soon after the war of
our Revolution closed, returned to his for
mer home i.i the city of Il irtford, Conn.,
w here he 'accepted an i.fiice of high munici
pal 1 1 nst. lie was moved by the generous
impulses of his nrsrure to a life of active
benevolence; and when, in 1 rO'i-w. tho
Revolution in Franco drove thousands of
her citizens to take refuge in our republic
none weie more zealous and untiring than
he in seeking out and providing for the un
fortunate strangers. Every apaitmeut i:i
om sjricioua house w as soon tilled. R:oir s
were prepared in the carriage house and
barns for my brothers and Mie domestics of
tho household, while my sisters and my
self took possession nf a small room in the
t tic which had been a repository for Ihe
spare bedding, now called into use.
Among our guests was one lady who was
distinguished by having a spacious room
set apai t for her sole use, and w ho seldom
left, it or mingled with her companions in
misfot tuneeaud exile. Upon the rare oc
casions when she did appear brieily in their
circle, itwas striking toohseive the ceremo
nious deference, amounting almost to ven
eration, with which she was received.
Whoror how my fat.hci found ner I never
knew ; but his manner towards her r.as so
profoundly respectful as to impress its all
with feelings akin ti fear in her presence.
1 1 et these impressions were produced by
the demeanor of others only ; for on her
' own pait there was not the slightest self
1 assertion or assumption of stateliuess.
! Simple and unobtrusivo as a child in her
j manners, she was injiscribabiy affable, to
. all; but her countenance wore an express
j ion which, when once seen, could never bo
I forgotten. More forcibly and clearly than
I words did it convey the story that some
overwhelming delude of calamity had
( swept from her life every vestige of earthly
hope and joy. Ry ni) outwaid token did
' sho parade her griefs. Her dress, plain,
j even severe, in its peifect neatness and
, f-implcity, displayed no mourning-badge,
i but her very smile was an intimate revela
, tion of sorrow,
i She wasknowuby the title of "Madame,"
, though some of our guests wonld now and
then add, when speaking of hor in an tin-
dertone not lost upon a small listener like
myself 4la Comtesse." Iler waiting
, maid. Celeste, was entirely devoted to Iter,
and always served her slight and simple
meals to her in her own room
Sakiii after her ariival I was sent on some
j errand to mad.tmcs apartment, and her .
agitation upon seeing me was a thing to be
. remembered for a lifetime. !r?ho drew me
I to her bosom, caressing me : with many
i tiouin her own language. I learned after- i
wards from Celeste that I was of tho saino .
nge and bore a striking resemblance in form
and race to l:cr tlaugliter, wlio nan been
torn from her iu tho storm ami turmoil of
their escape- They had leeu rescued by
a faithful servant, and hut tied off. more
dead than alive, iu the fright, confusion,
and unroar of a teriible outbreak in Paris.
1 and had discovered, when too late, that br
tiaUg,tei had been seperated from theni
and was missing.. Their deliverer prom

the child, bnt Celeste had little liopo j for

vas sure she saw the child among their
number.
From the fii-st I was a welcome visitor in
the lady's room. She encouraged me to ;
pass all the time with her which could be i
?ared f'" '!hold duties ; for in those
da's. every child was ieimied to pel form a

entertained, daily. I was the chosen pupil
of madame. She soon imparted sufficient
kov.lodge of the French to give her in
structions in her own language. Never
was child blest with a more gentle and
painstaking teachci ! To a thorough course
in the simple branches of study she added
many delecate accomplishments then un
K.now,) " our c.""nf'T, ana tl.e most pa-
. . ...
111 "l ,rallllnK m matters connected
with dress ami deportment. After lessons
she would hold long conversations with
nie, more profitable tha.u the lessons them
selves, awakening interest by suggestions
mid inquiries tending to form habits 'of
thinking, as well as of acquiring knowl
edge. Then such wonderful fairy tales as
she would relate ! I used to listen perfect
ly entranced. Never have I heard in Eng
lish any fairy lore that would compare
with it. Translations we may have, but
tho fairy charm of the original is lost.
At that time tho spirit of infidelity and
atheism which laid the train for the hor
rors of the French Revolution prevailed
widely in our own country. When too
young to comprehend their import, I had
often listened to warm discussions between
my father, who was strongly tinctured
with those opinions while in politics he
was an ultra-democrat and my maternal
grand father,- a High-Churchman and Tory.
The latter always insisted and it was all I
understood of their conversations that it
was impossible for a govermcnt founded
upon popular unbelief and insubordina
tion to slaiul. He was utterly hopeless for
ours, not because it was democrat ic in form,
but because the people no longer lcver
eneed authority, had ceased to be imbued
w ith the first piincipal of loyalty to God as
S.ipieine Ruler, and to tho "powers that
be"' as his appoinu d instruments. These
fcubjeets were themes of constant debate,
ami were tieated with a warmth that com
manded even the notice of children.
Some of our guests affected a gay and
careless iiidiUeieuce to the claims of God
and man that amounted to a rejection f
both ; others vehemently denounced all
religion as a figment of priest-craft. ; while
still another class met Mich fptestious w ith
the solemnly arising friMn a conviction of
the tremendous temporal ami eternal in
terests which they involved.
It was rc fi esliing to steal away from
these cveivng debates in the drawing-room
to the peaceful atmosphere of madame's
a part men t. I frnpieittly found her saying
her beads, of which I knew nothing, only
that they were exceedingly beautiful to the
silrt, and composed of very costly materi
als. I used to enter her room very quietly,
and take my accustomed seat in silence,
until her devotion were closed. Of htV
letigiou I knew no more than the name;
but its evident influence upon every action
of her life left ao iudeiible impression upon
mj' mind that it ivas a power above and be
yond any of the i. -vailing forms around
us. S!ie never spoke expressly of her re
ligion to me, but the puiely Christian tone
of her instructions upon all the duties of
l'.fe, social and domestic, exemplified by
her own coiiducf, proved abundantly that
it was moie tha:. : tneie sentiment or a
name. I was too i-eiiig at that time to
reason upon these jhitigs, but, as I have
said, they left an indelible impression, and,
as life advanced, furnished food for many
rcveiies which at length ripened into seri
ous thought.
I low tlie weary months must have drag
ged along for those exiled unfortunates!
Yet the cheei fithiess, even gayely, w ith
which they endured their mi.-d'oi tunes and
tlie lorl toing suspense of their position,
was a matter of constant maivel to their
New England fiietujs. They watched the
ariival of every ship from France with in
tense anxiety, and a renewal of grief ami
mourning was sure to follow the tidings it
brought. Yet the polite amenities and
courtesies of their daiiy life, which seemed
a part of their nature, were never for a
moment abated, and in the wildest storm
of grief even the women never lost t hat ex
quisite sense of" propriety winch-distinguishes
their fiction.
And so the time wore on until .1 certain
memorable night in September," 1 T'.VL . My
father's residence was situated upon an
elevated street winch commanded a wide
view -of the city and its environs. How f
veil 1 remcmbei standing with my sisters
by the window of our attic dormitory, look
ing out upon the quiet city sleeping under
the cabu liyht of the harvest moon, on that
never-to-be-forgotten night 1 The contem
plation of the scene was too phisntit to bo
easily relinquished, and it was late before
we could turn nway from its fascinations to
oni rcfct. Wc were scarcely hst in sleep
when wo were awakened suddenly by a
thrilling sVmt in tho street, accompanied
by the wild hn3;:ahs of an excited multi
tude. YVe hastened to the -lower room",
vvhero we found the strangers gathered
around the open windows, from which
thev were . waving handkerchiefs, hats,
and scarfs, and mingling their shouts with
those of the throng outside.
In the street tho city cvier moved along
in advance of tho crowd, mounted on a 1
tail white hoise, "-and waving an immense
banner. . At every crossing he would pause j
and shont thronoli a speaking-trumpet, j
"Kcjoico ! rejoice ! Robbspierre, tho ty- j
rant, has fallen! has fallen!" Then fob
lowed the jubilant cheers of the rapidly-f
increasing crowd. And so they- passed oil ''
through every street in the city. j
I sought madame's npaifmenr, and !
-found" her kneeling in the same reverent
attitude of humble !evotiin w ith which I f
bad so long been familiar. Stro'ngo to
say. '-my -first thought upon hearing the '
news so joyful to others was one of dismal
:ipprehefrsro:, ;,nd my Hist emotion otic of
ineff'vble. sadness ! Quick as thought, crime
the painful assnratire to my heart ibaf this '
was the slg-ial frr iny final scperaf ion from
vHto loving fncnd, the gentle teacher;" to '
- whom I had become inexpressibly attache-el:
,A "he a rose" and. extended her arms to-
wards me, f threw myself into them,' and, ;
biding my face in her bnsm, gave way to
a hurst of uncontrollable grief., , ords

Understanding it;t ft glance, she carresed

. j --
and soothed me wilh assurances of her nn-
dying love, and that she could never forget .
or: cease td pi ay for the child whom heaven
had appointed to be hei dearest consolation
under her great afflictions.
My apprehensions proved well founded-.
The same ship which brought tidings of the
tyrant's fall brought letters also to madame
from faithful friends, urging her imruedU
ate return to France.
My father accompanied ber to Boston, in
order to make needful preperation for her
departure on the next outward-bound ves
sel. I was thrown into such an agony of
grief at the thought of parting with her
that madame begged I might he permitted
to go with them, urging that the change of
scene and a visit to relatives in Roston
might divert my thoughts and soothe the
bitter anguish of my young heart. Ho
consented, and, when we reached the city,
he left us at tho house of his sister, where
I found my cousins all engaged preparing
for an examination and exhibition which
was to take place tho next day to close the
term of the school they were attending, on
the same street and near by.
They insisted that I should go with
them, and rnfidame dressed mo in a white
muslin v.itli a blucsash. She then hung the
locket you so much admire, suspended
from a delicate gold chain, around my
neck, and I set off' with my cousins.
We found the gills grouped together in
great gleo, awaiting tho oenir.$ exercises.
In the cent re of tho group was a fair and
graceful girl, near my ow n age and size,
with a large basket containing bouquets of
flowers arranged with admirable taste,
which the girls were purchasing for them
selves and to decorate the school-room.
My cousins replied to my questions about
the young stranger : "Oh! we call her the
little .lower giil. She lives with a farmer
just out of the city. The family are very
fond of her, and he gives her a If! tie place
in the gai den to cultivate flowers, and lets
her come with him on market days to sell
them for herself in the city. She heard of
what was going on here, and thought this
would be a good market for her bouquets ;
ami so it has been, for she has sold them
all."
For some reason I could not turn my
eyes from the child. There seemed to bo
a mutual fascination which diew us to
gether, and I observed she was looking in
tently and with much emot ion at the locket
I wore. I asked her why she was so much
interested in it. She answered wilh a
slight FreiK'h accent ; "My mamma had
such a locket, and all the ladies of the
q-iecn's household wore them."
"And where is your mamma?" I in
quired. "Alar-! I do not know if she is living.
I lost tier in a great crowd in tlie streets of
Paris and was so frightened at the horrors
around me that I remember nothing until
I found myself on board t tic ship which
brought me here. How 1 came there I
never knew. The kind-hearted farmer
w ith whom Hive was on the wharf when
we landed, and, in great pity for my be
wildering loneliness and grief, took me to
his home, where I have since leceived
very attention and sympathy."
Almost sinking under agitation, I turned
to my cousins, who had been too much oc
cupied w ith their own affairs to notice us,
and faintly gasped "She is, she must be,
the daughter for w hom madame mourns I"
At thu bare suggestion all else was for
gotten ! There was an impetuous huddling
of our electrified companions around the
bewildered little stranger, and a pet il ion
that the school exercises might be delayed
until they could cscoit her to my aunt and
learn whether my conjecture was true. So
great was their excitement that it was use
less to deny the request, abd'we Jed our
heroine off" with hasty steps.
On the way we decided that my aunt
should break the matter gently to madame,
and introduce the child to her in her room.
There was no need of an introduction !
The moment, their eyes met the exclam
ations "Antoinette !" '.'Mm'"113 !'' burst
from their lips and my ount left them
locked in a close embrace. The scene 7as
too sacred for intrusion !
Theiio-vs fiew with the sp.eed of the wind,
and there were gret rejocings far and
near over the timely discovery brought
niiotit by means of the locket, which ma
dame bestowed upon me (after removing the
knot of hfiir, too precious, as a relic of her
lamented queen and the Fi incc.ss Elizabeth,
to bo relinquished,) in memory of this joy
ful event, and as a souvenir of the ln-loved
friend and teacher with wh'ni I had passed
so many happy and profitable hours.
Soon after ihe reunion of the nnther
and child they sailed for France, and I re
turned with my father, to a home which
was now be i eft of a charm thai could never
be replaced or restored. Rut 1113- sympat by
with their joy was too sincere to be chilled
by selfish regrets.
During my father's stay in Roston he
made some final arrangements connected
with a large tenitory of wild lands which
he had received from the government in
pa-i lial requital of his services in the army.
To that distant wilderness he removed
his family immediately after our return.
Tho absence of mail communication with
such remote districts, in those days was
doubtless the reason why we never received
further tidings from one who bad placed
us among the favored few that "have cu
tertained angels unawares."
In the loneliness of my forest hdme, and
through a long life inaiked by many chan
ges and e or rows, I have cherished grateful
meni'uies of the early lesson I roeeivc from
her lips, and they have proved, through
their., influence upon my religious and
moral being, a legacy far more precious
than a thousand caskets of gold aud pre
cious stones

Rnrling, Esq., who lives on the east shore
of Seneca lake, nearly opposite Coal Point,'
in the town of Hector, informs us that in
the year 1832 he resided at Hector Falls,
also on the east side of the lake, and was
building a boat ou the west shore. He
therefore had occasion to cross the lake
several times in his skill; and aome days
be met from - fifteen to twenty squirrels
crossing over from the western to the eas
tern shore on bits of bark and chips. Tho
wind being from the west when these voy
ages were rnade, the "navigators" always
had their broad tails up for sails, which en
abled them to make good time, and reach
their destination before night. Their fa
vorite season for crossing over seems to
have been in the fall, as it was at that time
of the year: . hen -Mr. Bulling met with
thont iu the largest numbers. -

lirfontn JtepuhlUttn 21enn Victory,
Enough and more than enough of Cm- I
servative and Re-form Republicans w ill vole j
for Cyrus L. Pershing for Coventor to elect I
htm by SO.DOO majority, and if he shall f::il j
of an election it must be because the Oe- :
mocracy fail to appreciate and accept, the
grand opportunity offered them loregener- '
ate our municipal and State autboi ity. The
mass of the people feel that the contest is i
not between Republicanism and Demoera- '
cy, and tens of thousands will vide in obe- !
die nee to their convictions of duty to them- j
selves aud to the Commonwealth, without i
regard to their party affiliations. In Ohio i
not less than 40,000 Republicans voted for ;
Governor Allen, but the large Republican j
majority of the State in the extraordinary i
poll of l00,000 votes, the deseclion on the '
school question, the positive support given ;
to Hayes by the Prohibit ionist?, the tians- j
fer of the Democratic hard money element I
and the lavish expenditure of money in ,
every election district, barely saved the Rc- :
publican candidate by less than 5,000 ma- j
jority. Here there is no diversion on the
school issue, for it is confessedly out of the
contest ; the Prohibition element, stung to
organization and actioti by Governor Har
tiatift's hesitation and final surrender t-. free
license, will fell thousands of votes against
him ; thorh-fection of t he Democracy on the
platform will be imperceptible ; the imrty
coffers, emptied to save Ohio, wiil not be
filled to overflowing for Pennsylvania, and
tho party majority to be oveicome is not
half that of our sister State. Eveiy clement
that operated to transfer votes from the
Republican ranks to Allen is stronger in
Pennsylvania than it was in Oloo. Tho
enfoiced idleness, w ant, ami distress among
our industrial classes because of bad gov
ernment are five-fold greater here than
there, and the necessity for a sweeping
change of local ritleis is ten tiins more pro
found and widespread among our people
than it was in Ohio. The jieople of the
Ruckeye State had nothing to ft ar from the
election of Hayes touching his exercise of
aulhoiity. lb; is not in f he leadmg-stii'igs
of political desperadoes of the Cameroii
Piigrim school, and he is personally honest
and confessedly competent. None who
voted for him shuddered lest he should
bring dishonor upon tlie State by submis
sion to worse men than himself. His tri
umph niaiis n thoroughly faithful admin
istration, and all that faithful citizens of
the State desired for their local government
has been achieved. Rut it is not so in
Pennsylvania, and it never can be so while
the present domination of Republicanism is
permitted to hold its sway. (Jive it but a
new lease of power and it will accept the
verdict as an approval of its intolerance and
profligacy, ami postpone ail hope ofrefoim
for years to come. ,
The people of Pennsylvania do not desire
to give a partisan victory to Demociacv. but
they do desire god government. They
demand that our Executive shall bo not 1
only fiee to assail ami pu.iish faithless of- j
fieials, but. that all his Furroiiudings ami j
siipportcts shall aid and strengthen him in j
so doing. They are imperative in requir- 1
ing that the prostitution of ihe Tre:sury to
a meic political engine the pollutconrelec
tions shall cud, and they would wrest our
Regislatuie from the ruthless grasp of
Cameron and Mackey. They have strug
gled for reform within the Republican
party until hope has died within them.
They have beard it promised from year to
year, and ynt with each year the title of
corruption has swollen until it has swept
away all the old iandinaiks of Republican
integrity. They see Ihe Pilgrim and the
ba'tlot-stnffer crowding the Republican
State Convention to nominate candidates
for Governor and Treasurer, and hand-iii-hand
with the power that dictated the tick
et. They see tlie forger of returns crow n
ed with Executive favor in Philadelphia
by a commission for the most lucrative of
fice within his gift. They see the crimi
nal whose frauds a im t potent iu elections
favored with Executive clemency. They
sec millions opou millions piled upon our
crushing cty debt by the most, incompetent
and profligate rulersthat ever cursed a muni
cipality, and theyseeevery element, of both
parties that has brought dist ress and shame
upon city or State rallying in desperation
for the le-election of Governor llarlrauft.
X. such appalling picture made men hesi
tate in Ohio, but in Pennsylvania there
will be tens of thousands of as true Repub
licans in their convictions as cati be found
in the Union who will vote for Judge
Pershing as the only hope of enforcing fi
delity and economy in our loc.il govern
ments. Here Republicans wiil vote re
gardless of organization or parades or
committees or bands or banners. They arc
in earnest-, and no persuasion or promises
or threats will turn them from their purpose.
They do not favor Judge Pershing because
he is a. Democrat, but because he is a thor
oughly honest man, with hot. est surround
ings, and jlodgcd alike by his record and
his instincts and his declared purposes, to
a relentless war upon the prostituted power
of our State. Whether thero shall he suc
cess foj reform depends upon the fidelity of
the Democracy to their grand opportunity.
If they shall poll a full vote. Judge Persh
ing's majority will be larger than was Har
tranft's returned majority three years ago.
Thpy have to fight money and discipline
and fraud", and they will find the traitor
here and there in their own household, for
Pilgrim debauchery has left none of its
thousands of channels unemployed ; but if
they are faithful to the reform they have
professed, they will toll the death-kntll of
corrupt political authority in Pennsylvania
on the first Tuesday of November. With the
Democracy rests the issui, and they can win
an imperishable victory for economy and
good government if they l.-ly'iilt. 7V?ij. ,
A Pitbmc DctY. There is no part icular
difference between the revyinetit of pri- I
vate and public d?bts. W hen individuals
get in debt the only way out of it is to
save more money than they sjend until
they cm pay. Nations must pay their,
debts in precisely the same manner. Thin
being the case it becomes the dnly of tho
people, precedent to all others, to reform
every branch of government, so that ex
penses and consequently taxation may bo
reduced, anil the public debt paid. First
of all dishonest officials must l tinned
out, and honest men put in offico.

Before I proceed to sdate iny views of
what the duty of my position" if chosen
State Treasurer implies, allow me tnsi:i!?
briefly the condition of public sentiuiei.t
regarding the past ami present maun 'e
nient of this department of our State af
fairs. To say it is one ..f wide and almost
universal distrust is a mild term to et:i-
loy. The secret character or its manage
ment h is aroused suspicion of the honesty
attd iitlngrity f those who have been se
lected to discharge its duties. I make no
averment of dishonesty against th present
incumbent or his inimediule predecessors.
They know as well as I do that, truthful
statements at short intervals would enable
the public to judge their conduct. This
alarming develoniiient .,f tl, t--ui
duct of Robert V. Mackey nod liis imniel
!iate predecessor, tttkeu
iu connection
with what I think I have a ri.ht to sav of
linn personally in the r.iee of the defama
tion and low abuse his Pittsburg Comme--cud
newspaper has pri r ted against me.
There is one assurance I v. id cHe yon,
fellow-citizens, l-.cie and now. Robert V,'
Mackey cannot turn over to me, if elected
State Tretisuter. a chrck r certificate of
deposit pi the Venango National Bank for
the sum of ST. (.('), nor hi .deposits in tho
Cortimvicial Rink of Erie f.,.- some 4.iW,
noi wiil I icceive fiotn two broken bankl
ers in my count bis claim for $10,000,
money given them on deposit, he! tnciugto
the State. If Mr. Kemble's judgement
against , ba-iker in Craw foi d 'county for
12o,t!0.), given to srcnie the pavu-.cut of
State money, is in the Staee Treasury as
c.sh. I will not t ike it n n- av;',1 I receive
the idih- it-on of Hart. Caughr-v fc 'o. for
10,o0. T his man Mackey, iny accuser,
whose dirty ring organs have heaped un
told slanders upon me if made to account
to me as the people's State Treasurer
win first be made to understand he is re
quiied, in a gentlemanly and honorable
way, that tho money p.e has l. on entrusted
with by the people I.aist be shown to have
been paid out in accordance with the law
by honest verified vouchers and l ot in loans
to-political favorites with the payment of
annual interest to him as an individual.
So much I have thought it right to say
reply to the Hood f f.-.Iss aspersion own
my fair name, since I happened to know that
it came from the newspaper owned and con
trolled by the Pennsylvania Treasury ring.
And now, fellow citizens, this brings tuo
to the point of my discussion most import
ant to j-ou as taxpayers. The people have
a right to know fuliy my idea of the mean
ing of the resolution of the Eiio Conven
tion relating to the Treasury management
m the event of my election: I have no
hesitation, no concealment to make. I
started out in these remarks with the state
ment that concealment, of the v.oi kings cf
our State Treasury engendered suspicion
that improper uses were made of the peo
ple's money. Relieving the converge of
tho proposition will itwnic confidence
and protect character, it will be. a most
pleasing duty to carry o:jt a long cherished
idea of monthly statements with such de
tails as will make if patent to every citi
zen that the money he pays into my custom
'ly, by authority of ami in obedience to
the laws of the State, has been faiily paid
out in accordance with laws from the same
authority. Tlie sources of revenue I am
somewhat familiar with, having bi-en, like
all of you, a tax-payer. One source of
revenue has been evaded, not by our peo
ple, but by the officers of Ihe Treasury. I
allude to interest paid on the largo balance
always show n to le on band. "
All who know mo know that I have Et
all times held, and openly declare as my
belief, that inreiest received by a Stale
Treasurer was a sacredly the money of
the ieop!e as thj jtriucipal, and the officer
was lerrallv resnonsihle f,ii.vor, f
by any one to him. Nay, more, that tho
State Treasurer who appropiiates a dollar
of that which comes into his hands beyond
his salary, which is fixed by law, is guillv
of embezzlement, ami liable to be punished
under the law which has been recently vin
dicated in tho courts .r Schuylkill county,
presided over so ably by Judge I'crshitlg
who heads the State ticket. Now what I
desire nre even than my election is a
precedent to Fettle on t-e for all this question
of legal and equitable right to tha owners
ship of interest aeci uing for dej-tsits or use
of thv balance that is necessaiily in tha
State Trcastity dining periods between ic
rcocipt and disbursement. To tikis end I
invite Mr. Rwleand Mr. Pennynacker to
state in a publ:c way and to the people
whose votes our position solicits, distinctly
their views and promised action in tho
event of election. If wo .-;o all r greed
upon questions of the right of the pcopla
to have monthly detailed statements of tho
receipts and payments and the right to have
interest paid into the T reasury as a lawful
and equitable souice of revenue, a vexed
question would be settled. This d.n-s not
involve a change in the manner of keeping
State moneys. Our banks in Pennsjlvani
arc generally sound and safe depositories.
If it is light for the State Treasurer to do
maud intcicst for State money dojosied,
it is right every fraction shall be puttojho
credit of the State Treasury upon her books
like revenue received from any other quar
ter. Thcic is not tioio afforded me to
speak longer, ar.d I V. ill only say that
Judge Pershing, who he-ids the" St. its
ticket, is a man of admitted uhility, un
flinching cour-.'go ou the side of liht, ai.d
can be trusted to carry forward there form
promised by the g"iu Semen w ho placed bun
in nomination. Of our prospect for elec
tion I have only to my that mj' intercom so
with the people in the brief spr.ee of timo
since the Erie nominations, weie niadj
show a witle dispoi. iirn to have a chance
in hopes ih.n it will affect favorably tho
business iiiieiestrof teiy- count ty, every
