All such letters are base forgeries, aud were gotten up by and in tki interest of a candidate and clique who a|H>lo gixed for aud defended the Lvtie- Chambers forgery. The* object is to mislead democrats into votiug instruc tions for the editor of this |>apcr tor Assembly, so as to cut up the vote ot other candidates and thus aid one on this side who generally drills with a clique at Bellefoute : aud '2nd, to uiak us appear in the light of a secret, scheming candidate, and thus draw upou us the eutuity of the other can didates now iu the field. Every one can easily discern where such things originate aud in whose behalf the tor gory is worked. We have written uo such letter or letters whatever, nor authorized any one to do so. Due ol these forged letters was sent to our friend Col. Riahel, of Gregg. and we understand to a number of others. The best evidence of this letter oe ing a forgery is, that it is legible, whereas if it were written by os, t 01. Rishcl could scarce make head nor tail out of it The Col. has promised to send it to us, and, will publish the forged epistle next week. The democracy of the entire stata are calling upou oar district to elect Mr. Wallace to the senate, where lie has beeu the able democratic leader for a number of years. His presence there at this time is all the more im portant, in view of the legislation needed to conformity with the new- Constitution. No mau in the state is so well-fitted for the place as Mr. Wallace, his experience, ripe states manship, known integrity, and dis gust for riugs, have ceutered npou him the eyes of every honest democrat and republican in Pennsylvania aud hence they hope for his return to the senate by the honest aud upright voters of the district composed of the counties of Centre, Clearfield and Clinton. Mr. Wallace, in his entire career as a senator has devoted all bis talents and energies to the enactment of wholesome laws, and for the good of the people. He never cast a vote or supported a measure that had about it the odor of corruption. He always battled and defeated such schemes, thus taking the same stand in favor of right in the senate as Mr. Orvis did iu the House. For this the people of our state call upon the district to elect Wni. A. Wallace to the senate. Clearfield county will pronounce for bini at her delegate elections. Clinton county will instruct her delegates for.Mr. Wallace. Will Centre listen to the demands of the people and follow the good ex ample of the sister counties of the district ? Democrats of Centre, cau you do a nobler act than cast your instructions for Mr. Wallace? If you vote for instructions for Senator, on the day of the delegate election, will you remem ber that duty to your party, and to the state, demands that you rote to instruct for Wro. A. Wallace for Sen ator ? * We see from the Jour nal, the democratic organ of Union county, that the democracy of that county will not present a candidate for congress, and that the leading democrats in Union county couceed the nomination to Mackey. An effort had been made to get out a candidate there, by suggesting the name of Judge Walls, but the judge had too good sense to be led into such a scheme. An effort was also made to get out a candidate in Elk, and a "prominent editor of Centre county" wrote a letter to Mr. Hall, of Elk, advising him to be a candidate, hut Mr. Hall aud the democrats up there know that the nomination right-fully belongs to Col. Mackey, and hence Elk county could not be led into a schismatic scheme agaiiißt the choice of the people of the district, L. A. Mackey. Ibe Elk Co. Gazette publishes an able article in favor of Col. Mackcy, for Congress. It is seldom the people of a district are so earnest in desiring the nomination of any gentlemen, as in the case of Mr. Mackev. ilis splendid run a few years ago *ho wed who he was: We will copy the arti cle of the Gazette in our next. That staunch old democratic organ the Erie Observer calls upon the de mocracy of this district to elect Mr. Wallace to the senate. This is the voice of the unanimous democracy of the State. We trust Centre county will know her duty to herself, the State and to one of her noblest sous. The New York Sun draws a lesson from Beecher's downfall by which those who worship preachers may all profit. The Sun thinks people are too prone to forget that their spiritual advisors are human, with sueh propen sities as all flesh is heir to.

Clinton will present the name 1. A Mackcv, Esq. for Congiess, ami the evidences that the presentation ol Ins: name will he received with enlhusia* tic favor in most of the counties ot tlie j district are accumulating Our article of the Oth instant has been general!) copied, and bns met with no opposition save front the llellefonte Watchman, which precedes the article with the following paragraph "At the request of soutu of Mr Mackcv's friends in Cliutou county, we publish the following fruit the-1 Clinton Democrat of the IHh inst. While it shows that Mr. Maoko tua\ be exceedingly popular, worthy and j well qualified for the position, it d. <- not iu any way prove that Clinton county is eutitled, as a matter of right, to the nomination.

The Watchman says "it dew* m>l prove that Cliuton county is entitled, us a matter of right, to the imiuina* tiou," and then proceeds to press Mr. Alexauder. Clinton does not seek to place herself above her sister counties of the district, ami meets them on an (-quality ; but cue of the comities has got to get the rumination, ami Cliutou thinks that there are very „"H>d rea sons whv it should come to her, and why it should be given to Mr. Mack ey, and those masons have mtt with :roog iufornial approval in a major! ' tv of the counties of the district. sio far as Centre county is concern ed, we claim that Cliuton's claim is j the strongest by far, and will he so ' pressed. There are three district can didates to elect this tall —Congress- ; man, Judge, and Senator. Centre asks and is conceded the Judgeship, she claims the Congressman, and is put ting iu for the {senator. This looks like "going the whole hog." Cliuton denies the right of Centre to gobble up all that's on the table. She calls for the Congressional slice for the rest of the district, and asks that she he given it for the first term, aud pre sents au acceptable gentleman for the nomination. The request is reasona ble, and we have strong belief that it j will be muted. The Elk Democrat of last week comes up finely to the sup|R>rl of Mr. Mackey, and publishes another article | in his support, from which we extract i the following: We urge the nomination of Mr. ; Mackey, as the Democratic Congres isional nominee, and for these reasons, 'and others, which we shall present | hereafter: His life has beeu one of rectitude, and we need houesty. His management of important ft ■ uaneial trusts has displayed a thorough ! practical and theoretical knowledge of 1 the intricacies of bauking and the laws governing finance. As a lawyer he is noted for his forensic abilitv. As a counsellor he is known as a | sagacious man, and a man of probity 1 and forethought. Should he be nominated he will gather about the ticket a host of friends who will add strength to the party and lend encouragement to its ! principles. It is in such a time as this that we Deed men to represent the people —not a clique—but the whole people, and we know that Mr. Mackey is not the one to assume a duty he will not dis j charge with fidelity. Let the people | consider these facts, and let them, through their delegates, act upon them , in convention, and our word for it, j tbev will has* iu the House of Rep resentatives a man who will honor them as they shall have honored him. THE OOMING~CAMPAIGN. All over the State the political pot is beginning to simmer and iu a short time will be boiling. In n few coun ties nominations have already been made, but most of the local tickets will not be iu the field until near the close of next month. Then both par ties will aiso hold their State Conven tions and an exciting campaign will open. The Democrats are most hopeful and confidently expect to carry the State. Only the most gross blunder ing can prevent the complete triumph of the party opposed to extravagance uud corruption in the administration of public affairs. The people seem at last to have had their eyes opened to the necessity of transferring political power to other hands than those who now hold the reins of government., That the change may be thorough | and complete in 1876, they find j it imperatively necessary to com mence the work of reform at ouce. To this end the Democratic press is urg ing the most careful seiectiou of can didates, not only those for State offi cers, but also for all local positions of honor or trust. Indeed, this is the only way that success can be assured Hiid wherever this good advice is dis regarded and weak, incapable, dis honest, untrustworthy selections are made, defeat and disaster will be sure to follow. We are glad to see our party press thus boldly pointing out the course that will lead to success and as fearlessly remonstrating against nominations "not fit to he made." No one should be permitted to go on a ticket that will weaken it. The success of the party is far above the special claims of any aspirant to par ty favor. Personal considerations should alio in all cases be cast aside and the strongest and best men only put forward to carry tha party's ban ner. This done in every county, Pennsylvania will be redeemed from Radical misrule and the good old times of ecouomy, honesty and good government soon restored. — Perry County Democrat.

No demonstrations or fascinations could cause me to yield tnv womanhood. The First Suspicion. Seventh—That the first suspicion which crossed the mind of Theodore Tiiton that tlif Rev. Henry Ward lioechcr was abus ing or might abuse the affection and rev erence which Mrs. Tiltoti bore towards her pastor was an improper caress given by Becehor to Mrs. Tilton by • • • • • which seated by her side on the floor of his /brary overlooking engravings. Tilton, a few hours afterwards asked of his wife an explanation of her permission of such ' liberty, whereat hc at first denied the tact but then confessed it and said she hnd spoken chidingly to Bcechor concerning jit. On another occasion, Tilton, after I leaving bis house in early morning re ! turned lo i'r in the forenoon, and on going to his bed ciiumhur sound the d°Pf locked, and when, on knocking, tiio door was opentdby Mrs. Tilton, Beccher wus soeii within apparently much confused and ex hibiting a flushed face Mrs. Tilton after wards made a plausible explanation, which from the confidence reposed in her by her husband was by him Jeemrd satisfactory. highlit—Thi}t in the spring of 1870, oil Tilton's return from a winter's absence, lie noticed in his wife such evidences oi absorption of her mind in Beccher that in a short time an estrangement look place between her husband and herself, in con -•i,nance "f which she went into the coun try'earlier than usual for her summer so jnurn. After an nbsence of several weeks she voluntarily returned to her homo in Brooklyn on the evening of July 3, 1870, when, then and there, within a few hours after hor arrival, and after exacting from her husband A Solemn Promise that he would do the Rev. Henry Ward Beecher no harm, nor communicate to him what she was about to say, she made a cir cumstantial confession to her husband of the criminal facts hereinbefore stated, ar guments and reasonings with her to over come her long-maintained scruples against yielding to his dt 'iros, and declaring that she had committed uo wrong la her hu>- I band or'bcr marriage vow.
