Curtin'a letter.
ID another column trill be found the 1
letter of A. G. Curtin, accepting the
nomination as delegate-at-large to tho
constitutional convention, tendered
him by the liberal republicans and
democrats of this State. In order to
make room for Mi. Curtin, Gov. Big
ler, in his speech at the meeting in this
place, on 2oth ult., stated that he
would withdraw, this would constitute
the ticket 13 regular democrats and
one liberal republican in the person of
Mr. Curtin, which is so exceedingly
liberal on the part of the liberals that
we know every true democrat, who de
sires the triumph of our party, will at
once agree to give Mr. Cartin a cheer
ful vote, in consideration of receiving
the snpport of the liberal republicans
for the 13 democrats upon the same
ticket with ex-gov. Curtin.
But what we desire to refer to more
particularly, is the tone of the letter
itself, to which we wish to call the at
tention of the old friends and admir
ers of A. G. Curtin, especially in
this county. Where does the letter
place your great and honored chief?
Why side by side with, Trumbull,
Schurx, Doolittle, and the other dis
tinguished men of the republican
party, who can no longer act with it,
because of its corruptions, its usurpa
tions, and because it is in the hands
of that most infamous of all plunder
ing rings known in the history of
this country, to wit, the Cameron
ring.
No republican can call in question
Gov. Curtin's sincerity. He can not
be dubbed a sore-head, because the
Grant party offered him any position
in its gift, if he would support the gift
taker, and he resigns a first-class for
eign mission and comes borne to tell
the people that the men in power must
be put out and Reform inaugurated or
else be utterly despoiled.
If the Centre Reporter is really ig
noraut that Mr. Greeley once propos
ed to pay four hundred millions to the
southern slaveholders for their chatt
els, he must read little ; and if he be
lieves what he says in denying our
statement of that fact, he must be
gullible enough to endorse lager beer
sprouts and pretzel seed—if a demo
cratic convention should endorse them
as orthodox.—Lew is town Gazette.
So the matter amounts to about
this : The radical editor of the Ga
zette reads much and lies agrea*. deal,
and with all bis boasted reading, we
challenge him to produce the proof
that Mr. Greeley proposed to pay the
southerners for their slaves. You can
not do it, and you know it.
We here give notice, to the balance
of the radical county ticket that has
not yet resigned that unless they soon
attend to that little matter, the people
of Centre county will politely retire
them on the Bth of October.
Prof. Henry Meyer having declined
the radical nomination for prothono
tary, Mr. 8. A. Brew has been placed
upon the rad ticket instead.
If we mistake not, Mr. Meyer's good
ense has led him to favor Buckalew's
election.
Vote for John H Orvis because he
is a man of honest principles, and one
of the ablest men in the state.
Vote for Austin Hinton and secure
an honest county commissioner.
Guerilla Moseby and Spotted Tail
are still strong for Grant.
Buckalew and Orvis are opposed to
the 9 million steal. Hartrsnft and
the Cameron ring favor it. Remem
ber this, tax-payers.
* Vote the whole democratic ticket—
on Bth of October. They are all good
tten. Democrats, see that not a single.
Some of tho Grant ring papers, tux?;
publishing some of Greeley's old llings
ivt the democrats, i order to niako
thoni vote against honest Horace.
Well, those things were known to
democrats long ago, hut in their mag*
namimity and greatness of soul thev
have forgiven Horace, since'he has
repented ot them, and besides it is
satisfaction for us to know that we put
it hack on old Horace, thick and thin,
and therefore arc not uneven with
him on that score.
But wo would #k thoes rad*
whether they did not then, and do
they not now, endorse all those say
togs of Greeley, and a# they have not
repented, how can they expect a dem
ocrat to favor them instead of Gree-
ley ? Say f
And if that is a good argument why
democrat# should be displeased with
Greeley, aint it the be*t argumeut why
republicans should favor Horace
Sav, ain't it a poor rule that won i
work both ways?
During Grant's recent "swiug
around the circle" ;n Mew Jersey he
made two speech* > Newark it# fol
lon:

Gen. Charles Albright, the bounty
jumpers' candidate for congress at
large, the Patriot says, is a bank presi
! dent. The five hundred dollars which
he received by fraudulent muster as a
I private of company A, 202 regiment,
when he was a coloucl of the command,
is part of the capital stock of his bank.
In his speeches this impudent and
mercenary bounty jumper exclaims
that the " raonied interests of the coun
i try" cannot trust Horace Greeley !
His cheeks swell prodlgiot s'y when he
; pronounces the words "a on.ed inter
' esta." Albright has become "a ntoni
ed man," and canuot be expected to
trust Horace Greeley. His fortunes
have vastly improved since his swind
ling sale of paper town lots in Coun
cil city, Kansas, to confiding people
in Cambria county. Since that there
has been a war, and in it there have j
beon shoddy contracts, besides such
small pickings as his bounty for lend
ing his name to fill the quota of Banks
township, Carbon county. Surely
such a loyal and disinterested patriot
could not support such a candidate as
Horace Greeley!
Hiuton for commissioner is the tax
[layer's friend.
liartranft, Mackey, and the balanco of
the Cameron ring, have succeeded in Ret
ting a pardon from Gov. Geary for "Dear
Ycrkes," the .condition, of course, being
that Ycrkcs take back ail he before nid
in his sworn affidavit against liartranft—
this Yerke has now done in a letter, but
does not swear to it. This is too thin an j
electioneering dodge-it's an insult to the
people, and will not serve to prevent the
"starch being taken right out of liartraft
on next Tuesday. Things must look rath
er blue for radicalism when convicts must
be pardoned to help it.

Dear YIKIIh : Buy 'us soon as possi
ble 100 shares of Oil Greek and Allegheny
Valley Jtailroad. and then have my ac
count, or rather havcari extract made from
nty account, so that 1 can see the exact
loss I have sustained on Oil Creek. Let
me have them as soon as you can conveni
ently. The Attorncy-Qcn. has given a decis
ion against our settlement on Oil Creek,
which takes the starch right oat. 1 don't
know what to say about Oil Greek as a fu
ture investment. I think the chances are
that it will go up ; but as everything else
is drooping, but little else can be expected
from Oil ('reek. What do you think of

GOV. (PUTIN'S LETTER.
Opposition to Ring Rule
NECESSITY OP ICCKAI.EW'S ELEC
TION.
Saratoga, September 20.—My fkar
Sir: Your favor of tho llth inst.,
informing me of my nomination by
the libera] republican state committee
as a candidate for delegate nt large to
the constitutional convention, and
inclosing an address to tho people of
the Btate, recommending my election,
came duly to hand, but extreme ill
ness prevented my reading the letter
or considering the subject until now.
I am still quite feeble, and unable to
write without the aid of an amanuen
sis ; but the near approach of the
election, and the gravity of the issues
immediately affecting the honor and
prosperity of Pennsylvania to be de
cided in October, compel me to ans
wer when my rest should be unbrok
en. The nomination made by so
many of the purest and best of the
old representative republicans of the
state, and presented to the people
upon grounds which stand out in
such brave contrast with the demoral
ized political management now so sad
ly prevalent, is an appeal that 1 can
not refuse to respect., i therefore ac
cept tho nomination, ami if it shall he
ratified by the people and health per
mits, I will discharge its duties with
fidelity I had confidently expected
immedictely upon my return home to
familiarize myself with the details of
what I well understood in all general
aspects touching the misrule our com
monwealth uii ler its present political
control, and to speak my convictions
at the earliest possiblo moment. I
cannot ever ho indifferent in n Presi
dential contest. I felt that tho regen
eration of my native slate in the Octo
ber election was of paramount interest
to the people in whose happiness nnd
greatness I am enlisted by every eon-1
sideration of gratitude and patriot-!
