Well now, they say John Irwin,
since he has loeu nominate*! fur sena
tor, wears hi* hal with a din to one
side. After the election we will show
him how to Wear'etu,
Capt. Wareara was a aoldier during
the late rebellion, and Jdu Irwin,
hi* opponent, was a tay-l-ho.ue.
Now where are the "soldier trieu.l*'
among the radicals? Will they vote
for Capt. Wareara the soldier, or for
Irwin who never saw powder bum
or heard conoon roai?
During the late rebelli.ui, wheu the
first rail wa* made for Men, Capt. Wa
rearu enlisted in the L->gau Guard*,
which has the distinguished honor of
being the first volunteer company that
reached the city of Washington, and
remained in service during the entire
war.
Maj. Sam. Frank, one of our can
didates for county Auditor, is one of
the leading and most respected citi
zens of llrushvalley . He is an expe
rienced merchant and hence one of
best accouutants in the couuty.
Maj. Frauk uever held any office, al
though competent to fill any positiou
within the gift of the people of this
county. Give him a large majority,
fellow democrats, as a tribute to his
worth.
Mr. A. J. Greist, the other candi
date for Auditor, is a gallant young
democrat, and well qualified fur the
place. He is a thorough bu.iuaa*
man, and splendid accountant, us all
who know him will attest. He is a
zealous, wide-awake, working demo
crat, who clicgs to the party because
he loves its principles. He, like Maj.
Frank, is a geutlemau of spotless char
acter. Democrats, these are two
worthy nominees, Frank Btid Greist,
poll a large rote for them.
Let uo democrat be led iuto voting
against Mr.Sankey. He has discharg
ed hi*duties faithfully as Commission
er, and notiiing can le shown to the
contrary. We defy the radical or
gaos, which are making such a fierce
effort to defeat to point to
a single action of his, during the three
years that he has acted as Couunisaiuo
cr, that is wrong. He i* an honest
man, a hardworking, life long Demo
crat, and it would Ire uugrentfui in our
party to allow him to be defeated.
Capt. Ware*®. our nominee fi>r
Senator, has served the people of Mitf
lin county io many capacities, and
always proved faithful, and Mitfbn
will give him a large vote. He tuds
well at home —and that is sufficient
recommendation. In hi* life nothing
can be shown up against him. He is
a plain man, of good sound sense.
A great many of the radicals sneer
at Capt. Wareatn, tbe democratic
nominee for senator, because be is a
plain man and came from the common
classes of tbe people. None but a
puffed up radical codvfish aristocrat
will object to Capt. Wareatn 0:1 that
account. He is a plain man, nnd be
doearpriog from the common classes.
He 18 a mechanic, aud an honest man.
And these points should bring him the
votes of all who wish to see our com
mon government administered in the
interests of the laboring masses. We
have had too many fope and vaga
bonds in our legislative hads Let
us have more commen men who pos
sess a good name and character, like
Capt. Waream. The silk stocking
gentry may stick up their noses aud
sneer, tbey are in a mi lority, and
there are enough of mechanics and
working men in the district to elect
him to the senate.
ID the Constitutional Convenlion
yesterday the Hon. John 11. Walker
was, motion of the Hon. Geo. W
Woodward, elected President of the
CbnveDtion ; a very proper compli
ment *lo a distinguished gciilleinau
who has satisfactorily filled the place
art Presieeut pro levx. A very im
[iressire tribute was then paid to the
ate President, Mr. Meredith, whose
death was formally auuounccd.
Vote for "honest Joe Wares in/' it
you desire to have the working mechanics
and farmers of tlie district properly rep
resented in the Senate during the nest
three years.
The awful ravages of the yellow fever
Still continue at Shrevepc rt. From fifteen

couleniing ouraelrea with a mere n -
tic* of its publication, am! eypie.
iug • very natural surprise that *a d
a labor of love had bun so long de
layed. We observe however, Uat
the Harrisburg Patriot ha. taken
the pains to eviscerate Mr. Mackev
defense, and have concluded to give
a svnopaU of that skillful operation.
'flows of our readers who took the
pains to go through Mr. Orvis speech,
will doubtless routewher tlwl !J* 'it
urea are—all of them —taken from i
official documents made upbv the Re
publican officials at Jlarrishurgh; front
tbeMAssayesofGoveru.it' Cfjr|i'i >>d
Governor Geary from the rep i*i? ot
the several Slat* Treasurers, from
Auditor General Hartranfl's Reports, j
attd from the proceedings of the C..i
niissioners of the Sinking Fund, irre
fragable evtdeuce when it rises up in
Judgment agaiust the very men who
made it. Premising that Mackey's
defence, Instead of taking up Orvis
figures—derived as they are from
official data sent to the fegisiaUtte by .
himself and his Republican aaaoeiptejj
in office, restates the account in a
manner which creates the necessary
impression thnt be has drawn largely
upon his imagination for his facts: we
proceed to slate the principal points
in the Patriot.
Commencing bv a slalemtut of
some importance, that iu a review of
the evil deeds of the la*t legi-laiure,
the Cotmmfrcial placed the name of
Mr.'Orvi* at the head wt the lis' of
the few members of thejilou-e who
had labored with industry and per-
severance agaiust vicious legislation,
a point well taken, and which proves
that its recent attack upon that gen
t it-man is the mere spleen of the un
scrupulous politician, it refers to the
fact that all of Mr. Orvi* figures and
statement* are ignored hut the last
one which singularly enough happens
to he the oue which he g.e l > show
what would have beeu the lesult of
an honest administration of the Trea*-
urv. but which was not actually cor
rect, because of the defalcation iu
question. The figures and tabular
statement* by which the exist.nee of
the robbery wa* >dc*,U' established
being carefully ignored by the ctate
Treasurer ami Clerk of the Senate,
and l>v any clerical assistants they
a*.) - control in getting up satisfactory
staiemetiu. Thp figures carefully
copied from Gov. uemy'j message
they boldly pronounce a falsification j
the amount of overdue loans is stand
as a wpposilion and the bonds sold
are spoken of a* "estimated" in regard
to their amount. Here is nu admission
from Head Quarters that the Gover-i
no the Treasurer ai.d the Auditor
j General did not know how- man v Stale
j Bonds were outstanding! Is the
amount of anv obligations merely to
be supposed or to be estimated, or
j even to be guessed at by the public
| officers of the State ?
If the fiscal affairs of the Stnte are
ito be run by guessers, it might be
1 well for them to set their machinery
| in order, to guess where the present
; nominal balance is—in the Treasury
i or in the Banking 7/ouse of some other
| Yerkea Di.l Hartrsnft only guess,
• when he reported in December 186G,
j that the overdue bonds amounted to
'523,108,626,24. Was it guess wmk
upon which wa* based the Act which
ordered the issue of 0 per cent bond*
to redeem those over due s's ? Is it
really so that the affairs of the people j
are so bungingly conducted, that in :
the grave matter of the fiscal interests '
iof the people, guessing has taken the
j place of arithmetic In rcplv to the re
mark that Mr. Orvis coolly proceed*
to assume that this sum of 23 millions
with the accrued interest and premiums
on the same had been paid out in
redemption of the outstanding bind
the entirely satisfactory reply is (given
that such was the law providing for
borrowing the millions in question—'
that the constitution which these Re
publican officials had sworu to obey,
absolutely prohibits the creation
any debt but to repel invasion supj r-s*
idebtedness of the State. The
argument of the Commercial is evi-
dently based u|>on the idea that it*
friends utterly refuse to obey either
Act of Assembly or Constitution
either.
In 186" this loan produced to the
Treasury $23,353,253.12. During
the same year $20,917,642.3!) were
paid on account of the public debt
$1,794,644,50 of this sum was drawn
from the Sinking Fund ami but
$19,122,997.89 the from proceed*
of this loan. This leaves of
the proceeds of this loan $4,-
230,260,23. Yet Governor Geary in
his Message of 1868, only reported
$2,937,978.55 as being on linml from
that source. Will Air. Muckev tell
| us what became of the $1,292,281 68,
which the Governor was evidently ig
Dorant of —the Treasurer "guesting"
it was not in the Treasury.
The Commercial itself admits that
only $21,125,043.89 was paid out of
this fund on uccoun' of the public
debt, in 1867 ami 1868. It further
uiiinits that all payments on thut ac
count since 1868 have been paid out
of the Sinking Fund. As the differ
euee between the money received on
the bonds ami the amount of lliai fund
paid out on account of lite debt, nev
er va* paid ill to the Sinking Fund,
pi ay what tins become of it; it
amounts to $2.227,614,23—where is
it? It surely is not in the Treasury,
