Connecticut in the East Speaks to North Carolina in the South ! NEW MEXICO, WYOMING AND COLORADO, Catch up the grand chorus fur the Union, and in every State where the People have spoken through the Bal. lot-box, they have vindicated the Great Party, that saved the Nation from destruc tion by traitors; gave Liberty to all Sec tions ; defeated Repudiation ; built the Pacific Railroad; established a National Currency; secured Pensions and Home steads for Union Soldiers ; reduced the National Debt over $100,000,000 in one year ; and is the Party of Freedom and Progress the world over. The Republicans of Huntingdon County, may keep step to the music of the Union, there will be a MASS MEETING, held in HUNTING DON, PA., on THURSDAY EVENING, OCTOBER STH, 1871, to be addressed by the eloquent GEN. L. K. PANGBORN, of N. J., HON. JOHN SCOTT, and other distinguished speakers from a distance. Night trains on the Penn's. R. R., will stop at all way stations going east and west. To the Republicans of Hunt ingdon County. The approaching election is one of very great importance, and its results will have a telling effect upon the still more vital contest of next year. The tide is in our favor, The people of CALIFORNIA and MAINE have greet ed each other across this mighty continent, and the Great Party which saved the Na tion from the hordes of treason has been again vindicated at the ballot box. In view of these things, I appeal to the earn est Republicans, and especially to the members of the County Committee, in every township and borough throughout the County, to SEE TO IT AT ONCE that arrangements are made to have every Republican voter out on the dty of the election. If necessary, have conveyances Bent, early in the day, for those who are unable to walk to the polls. NO BUSINESS, HOWEVER IM— PORTANT, SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO KEEP A REPUBLICAN at HOME on the day of the ELECTION. A man who voluntarily stays at home on that day, and loses his vote, is not fit to enjoy the right of suffrage. Let voters remember that THEY control the Government of this country; and if bad men get into office, it is their fault. Last year a Democratic member of Con gress was elected from this District because a large number of Republicans did not go to the election and vote. TWELVE RE— PUBLICAN VOTES WOULD HAVE CHANGED THE RESULT. A Democratic State Senator was elected from this District, and the Senate of Penn sylvania was thereby made Democratic,' because the Republicans of Huntingdon County did not go to the Election. See to it then, that no township or bor ough suffers a single voter to remain away from the polls, and lose his vote, on the 10th day of October neat. Have men appointed to stand at the polls all day and see that no illegal voting is done—CHALLENGE FREELY, if necessary ; timidity at the polls may lose the day. WATCH FOR SPLIT TICKETS, that is a favorite game with the Demo crats, THEY WILL TRY TO GET RE PUBLICANS TO CUT THE TICKET ON THE PRESIDENT JUDGE AND LEGISLATURE. DON'T BE DE CEIVED OR CHEATED BY THEM, VOTE THE WHOLE TICKET. LET NO COMPLIMENTARY VOTES be given to Democrats; they will LAUGH at you afterwards for being so easily de ceived. Examine your ballots before depositing them, and see that ALL the names are eorrest. Get your tickets from good men—men who will not deceiti•e you. Republicans, remember that the very men who were the out-spoken enemies of the Government when Traitors threatened its life, are the same who now unblushingly ask your votes that they may be foisted into power as law-makers and Rulers for you If they and their armed friends in the south had succeeded in their efforts only a few years ago. cur institutions and liberties would have been swept away by war ; if they succeed now at the ballot box, the brave soldiers of the Union who fell with their faces to the foe, in that grand straggle against treason, have shed their life blood in vain. Shall we dishonor their memory by basely surrendering the great issues for which they fell? No ! Let us emulate their sublime devotion to principle, and a glorious triumph awaits ns. K. ALLEN LOVELL, Ch'n. Rep. Co. Committee. „Huntingdon, Pa., Sep. 30th. no Slamion of MD EMU. EDITOR It Admits that Gen. Lane does not Owe the County, the State nor his Bail a Single Dollar. A HARMLESS SCARE-CROW ! As an evidence of the desperate straits to which the rebel-loving Democracy of this county are driven, and the unscrupu lous means to which they are willing to resort, in order to save a sinking cause, we have only to refer our readers to the last two issues of the Monitor. We showed most conclusively, in our last issue, that the attack made upon Gen. Lane was a malicious falsehood, manufactured for the occasion, by publishing a plain, unvarnish ed and truthful statement of the whole affair, which that paper has not dared to answer or deny, but simply contents itself by reiterating the stale falsehood. We simply ask our readers, all who think worth while to go to that trouble, to take the statement of the Monitor itself, and see if it does not furnish one of the best evidences that Gen. Lane, in the case referred to, acted the part of an honest, upright and conscientious man. That a balance was found against him, in favor of the State, at the close of his term as Treas urer of the county, no one denies, and we have already shown how it came to be there, as well as the necessary legal steps taken by Mr. Lane to defend himself against a claim which was manifestly un just. Instead of remaining at home to test its validity, however, he entered the Union army with thousands of his brave-hearted countrymen, and marched, at the roll-c9l of Freedom, to the rescue of an imperilled Government, there to seal his devotion to the glorious standard of pgr common coun try on many a hard-fought battle-field, while Mr. Africa, his opponent, was at home doing service for his rebel friends, on this side of the line, by denouncing the war as an "ABOLITION RAID," our gallant soldiers as "LINCOLN'S HIRE LINGS," and the battle-fields of Freedom as "LINCOLN'S SLAUGHTER PENS." That judgment was obtained against him, under the circumstances, and the amount paid by Gen. Wilson, one of his sureties, is not denied, but that Mr. Lane was a defaulter, or an embezzler, of public money, or that he allowed his bail to suffer, we think is manifestly susceptible of con tradiction, even by the Monitor's own statement, and the author of that article is evidently very much at fault in citing a section of the penal code which was not in existence at the time. Gen. Lane was clear ly in no danger of a criminal prosecution, and never has been since, and if any such threats were made by General Wilson, as the Monitor alleges, they proceeded from other motives. But we would only say, in conclusion, to the legal and honorable gentlemen who do the dirty work, why is it that the money was paid? Gen. Lane, you say, was '•ut terly insolvent," and of course was not obliged to pay, and no lawyer will pretend to say that he was in any danger of a crim inal prosecution. Can there then, be any other motive assigned for the refunding of that money to Gen. Wilson, inside of live days from the time it was paid, other than that which would actuate any high mind ed and honorable man in paying voluntar ily an unjust debt rather than see his bail suffer! Until these questions are answer ed we will ask our readers to aecept the statement made by the Monitor as satisfac tory evidence of Mr. Lane's honesty, and so conclude. It requires an ingenious falsifier to al ways make both ends of a story correspond, and like the man who ran the deer • into the snow bank and caught it, in harvest, we fear that the Monitor scribblers have got their story mixed up so badly as to be able to explain it on no other hypothesis when subjected to the crucible of reason and common sense. The entire amount, including interest and costs, was refunded to his bail inside of five days from the payment thereof, and his receipt taken for the same, and this too by a man who the Monitor declares was "utterly insolvent" and without any real estate, and who was in no danger of any criminal prosecution. The amount of legal ability displayed by the author of that statement, strikes us as not being very creditable. Had he, good, honest soul that he is, examined the record at Harrisburg, a few pages from the state ment he garbled to suit his own purpose, he might have found evidence of other de faulting public officers, with the claim still unliquidated. John Mierley, Esq. We notice an article under this head, in the last issue of the Nonztor,which states that Mr.Mierley is not an office seeker in any sense of the term, and that "he scoihs the politi cal trickster and would not wallow in the mire in which his competitor lives and grows fat." Now this seems strange, in deed, when we take into consideration that scarcely a Republican can be found that he has not solicited to vote for him with all the imploring sympathy of a h3und pup with his foot in a steel trap. It is truly a won der that so pure a man would allow one of "Lincoln's hirelings" to vote for him! And as for him being "no mere reflector," we differ in that, for never was Jeff. Davis' character more truthfully reflected during the war, than through John Mierley ! Think of his war record, Republicans, and take as an indignity all of his palavering and begging of your votes. Go to the polls and vote for Judge Clarkson, who is his equal in every respect, and a sound Republican, and instead of his holding office so long being an objection, he needs no better recommendation. And, further remember, not a Republican in the county would the immaculate Mierley vote for were they before the people for a county ace. Vote the whole ticket and nothing but the ticket! Ber aver) . vote for the Radical ticket is a full vote for the man who quit selling rum only since he was nominated for office by the Republican party.—Monitor. And every vote for the Democratic ticket is one for the man who quit drink ing it only since he was nominated for office by the Democratic party. M. Stay at the polls until dark ! Giii. Lalio's Troasurysliip ! He Saves Tax-Pavers $6,400! The Matter in a Nut Shell T Gen. Lane, the Monitor admits, PAID EVERY DOLLAR, and MORE THAN HE OUGHT TO HAVE PAID. Why, then, this hellahaloo ? Oh, but he didn't pay over immediately upon his retirement from office, and consequently, he is an EMBEZZLER and DEFAULTER ! In deed ! Gen. Lane was charged with the percentage on a valuation of $BOO,OOO more than was collected in the county, and if he paid, he would have been obliged to PAY OUW OF HIS OWN POCKET. He refused to settle until the State cor rected her account. Was not this right'! The PEOPLE EXPECTED HIM TO STAND BETWEEN THEM AND THE EXTRAORDINARY DEMANDS OF THE STATE, and by so doing he saved the county $6,400 ! Because if Gen,' Lane had not resisted the unreasonable demands of the State, but quietly acqui-1 esced, paid over the money and said noth ing about it, the mistake would never have been discovered, and the tax payers of Huntingdon count✓ would have been SWINDLED, CREATED out of SIX THOUSAND FOUR HUNDRED DOL— LARS ! This is the plain English of this transaction, Farmers, Tax-payers, are you going to vote against the' man who, by dogged persistence. saved you - $6,400 I " NO!" we hear you thunder from one end of the line to the other ! Then vote for Lane! The President Judgeship. A word to those of our Republican friends who are weighing the question of voting for Judge Taylor instead of Mr. Dean. We have not concealed the fact of our personal regard for Judge Taylor, and we therefore think it ohr duty to offer a word of advice to those who entertain the same feelings. From all we can learn, from our exchanges, and from well informed persons, of both parties, ail over the dis trict, we are convinced the regular nomi, nees, Mr. Dean and Mr. Banks, will re ceive the support of the great mass of their respective parties, leaving Judge Taylor, the independent candidate, with out any reasonable prospect of even coming near an election. This being the case why should Huntingdon county Republicans throw away their votes, and aid in electing Mr. Banks. Admitting that Mr. Dean and Mr, Banks are both respectable lawyers of Blair county, why should any Republican, of this county, adopt a course which is calculated to elect a Demo'rat to office, while it does the man they wish to serve no earthly good r We trust our Republican friends will take a calm and dispassionate view of this matter, and find it a pleasure, as well as a duty, to cast a solid, undivided vote for the regular ticket. le— Get out every vote ! Gen. Lane the Tax-payers' Friend 1 Gen. Lane saved the tax-payers, by his efforts to have the State correct her ac count, SIX THOUSAND FOUR I.:UN DRED DOLLARS ! This is no small item, To do this he was obliged to stand the State a suit, and when his bail was pushed he paid every dollar ! Wasn't this manly ? Did any person lose anything But it is not alleged that any one did. Oh, no ! But he used the State's money for several years! ! Suppose he did, he be lieved that he did not owe the State any thing, and until the State showed that he did he had a perfect right to use the mon ey; any respectable lawyer knows this to be the case. It was not until after he re tired from office that a prosecution and a penalty was enacted for withholding funds of this kind. This being the case no hon est lawyer will say that he violated any statute. And yet the Monitor has charged this man with Embezzlement and Perjury. Stich conduct is infamous ! REPUBLICAN MEETINGS. Enthusiastic meetings have been held at Shade Gap, Orbisonia, Scottsville, Cass ville, Green's School House, Broad Top City, Marklesburg, Alexandria, Birming ham, Warriorsmark, Spruce - Creek, Shit.- leysburg, McAlevy'a Fort, and Green Tree, which have been addressed by Hon. W. S. Johnston, of Washington, D. C., Prof. A. L. Guss, Theo. H. Cremer, Esq., T. W. Myton, Esq., J. H. Simpson, Esq., G. B. Armitage, Esq., J. Sylvanus Blair, Esq., W. H. Woods, Esq.. M. S. Lytle, Esq., J. W. Mattern, Esq., H. C. Madden, Esq., J. Hall Musser, Esq., S. T. Brown. Esq., B. A. Orbison, Esq., and John Stiles, Esq., of Washington, D. C. A number of these gentlemeri hare done most excellent ser vice and the party should remember them for it. We are in favor of rewarding those who labor. Our space is so limitel that we cannot individualize the meetings. HOW NOT TO DO IT ! Before the Democratic Convention some friend of Mr. Dewees, who is one of the best men in the State, and true to the in terests of Huntingdon county, wrote a communication to the Monitor recommend ing that gentleman for Assembly, but, no, Mr. Dewees, in the estimation of Mr. Af rica and the Monitor clique, was not the man for the place—nobody was fit for it but the latter gentleman, and the Monitor refused to publish the communication.— Now Mr. Dewees is asked to support Mr. Africa! Cool, ain't it ? THE GEN. LANE SLANDERS ! The effort of the Monitor clique to in jure Gen. Lane, by the publication of the most unblushing falsehoods, are likely to be productive of much good. There were unfortunately heee then Republicans who felt like complimenting Mr. Africa, but the infamous assault upon our candidate has stopped that little diversion quite short, and Mr, Africa can put all the votes of that kind in his ey 0. ,:iplucb fur slan ders! Ky. Don't cut the ticket—don't trash votes. Be fish, flesh, or red herring, Go the whole pig, or nothing. STAR BY THE TICKET ! ELECT JOHN DEAN ! THE " GLOBE'S VIEW OF IT ! The last Globe contains an article, under the head of "President Judge," which we fully endorse. We reproduce a portion of Previous to the meeting of our County Convention it was generally understood in the Republican ranks throughout the county that both wings of the party would forget the past in the present campaign and vote the ticket, no matter who should be placed in no_nination by the delegates in the Convention. The ticket is before the Rapublican party and there can be no striking down this year without endanger ing the success of party nominees in the future. It will not do for party men to say that a Judge should not be elected by a party. Both parties have made State and District nominations heretofore, and will again, and it is as much the duty of party men to stick to their nominations for Judge as for any other office. If Repub licans, by cutting Dean, could elect any other Republican and better man, there might be some excuse for their treachery, but when it must be clear to every voter that a Republican vote given to Taylor would be only helping to elect the Demo cratic candidate, common sense will tell them that by voting for Taylor they would be voting to destroy their party organiza tion and party power in the county. John Dean is the Republican nominee, and as such he has a claim upon every Republi can voter in the county and district, and every vote cast for any other man for Pre sident Judge will be a vote against the party that placed Mr. Dean in nomination." A GREAT IMPOSITION! DEMOCRATIC LEGISLATION ! Last Winter a Bill was pushed through the Legislature authorizing the construc tion of a road from a point in Shirley town ship across Shade Mountain into Tell town ship, for the accommodation of a few De mocrats in the latter township. To make this road, which is of no earthly use to Shirley, a tax of nine mills has to be laid. This is the way Democrats do things.— Vote fur Lane ! 34ANNER OF TOTING ! The ticket will be voted in three separ ate slips—one headed "STATE," with the names of Auditor General, Surveyor General and Constitutional Amendment, the aecond headed "JUDICIARY," with the names of the candidates for presideqt and Associate Jude, and the last headed "COUNTY," which will contain the names of the candidates for Assembly, High Sher iff, Treasurer, Commissioner, Poor Direc tor, County Surveyor, Auditor and Coro ner. Principle Rather than Self ! Republicans, if there is a man in your town or vicinity who has been, or wants to be, prominent in our party, and who is lukewarm or doubtful in his support of the ticket this fall; who says to one pr,s,m, "stick to the ticket," and to another whis pers treason, spot that man ! Don't forget him in the future! Very likely he has go relatives on the ticket, or else he has De mocratic money in his pocket ! Vote and work fer the whole ticket! Catholics Asked to Vote for a Know Nothing! Mr. Africa was initiated into the Know Nothings on the 25th of July, 1854, and he previously edited the Standing-Stone Banner, in which violent assaults were made upon Catholics and Foreigners, which facts demonstrate his settled convictions, and now, Catholics and Foreigners, you are asked to vote for him. Will you do it? Vote for Lane! THE JIG'S up! The Democracy concede the election of our whole ticket, but in order to make the victory complete it is important that we poll a full vote, and it is the DUTY of ev ery Republican in the county to go to the polls on Tuesday next. Devote the entire day in securibg the complete discomfiture of this corrupt and rascally organization. Go for them ! Mr. Africa Wants Coraplimen- tary Votes ! We understand that Mr. Africa is send ing his "stickers" all over the county, to Republicans, with the request that they give him complimentary votes. We hope that no Republican will be stupid enough to do it. Throw complimentary votes to the dogs ! Vote the whole Republican ticket Mr. Africa as the Republican Candidate. We learn that Mr. Africa, in his bland way, has passed himself off to some of our Republican friends as a Republican can didate. It is only with those who do not take the county papers that he has been able to do this. Republicans, carry the war into Africa. Gen. Lane is your can didate. How Mr. Africa "Does" the Borough. Mr. Africa is the Engineer of Hunting don Borough, and he puts in two-thirds of his time "sighting round the corners," at five dollars., "a peep." Tax-payers, you have to "pay the piper." How do you like it ? No wonder you groan ! Vote for Lane ! Lookout for Last Cards ! The Monitor, which is most rascally giv en to lying, and after the election will eat its own words, as it has done heretofore, will manufacture all the Roorbacks for the last issue that the clique that controls it can coneect, Warn everybody against them—none but the very credulous can be deceived; pgi, Col.

Simpson .8/rica was initiated, at the Register's office, in the Court House, on the evening of the 25th of July, 1854. W. S. Hildebrand, Reuben Romig, Simon Co der, and others, were initiated the same evening. Mr. Africa, not having any be lly in the Christian Religion, but averting that "he believed in an Overruling Pow er," was, with considerable difficulty, elect ed and SWORN IN. If any one doubts, let him call and ex amine the record, which will speak for itself. Catholics and Foreigners, bow can you vote for a man who, we have no doubt, maintains the views to-day that he did then ; at least there is no evidence to the contrary. ger Soldiers, vote as you shot !

Whatever he undertakes goes through. He will work up the business of the district in short metre. Vote for an energetic man for Judge ! Vote for Dean ! Mr. Africa a Follower of Py thagoras ! Mr. Africa, we learn, is a follower of Pythagoras, and believes in the transmi gration of souls. He refuses to cat flesh lest in eating a piece of an ox or a pig he might be eating a piece of the soul of some one of his ancestors. This is a heathen doctrine of Africa ! Vote for Alfred W.

"Can't I Get Mora Republican Votes 7' Yes, so it goes l Banks says be is sure of more votes than Taylor, and Taylor is sure he can get more Republican votes than Banks, and the unhappy Democratic party is in the dilemma of the young fel low who was confronted by two sweethearts, and who, in the sincerity of his soul groan ed : "Oh, how happy I could be with eith er, were the other dear charmer away'." Examine every ticket ! GENERAL M'OANDLESS Is called "General" because while the fight ing was going on in the Wilderness, and almost in the light of burning Chambers burg, he wrote to the Secretary of War, de claring that no man could honorably scree in the Union army, and declining t..) be a General in it. Therefore, soldiers, vote for General Bill 2.l'Candless ! After this effort of self-sacrificing devo tion to rebellion, General M'Candless ruch ed bravely into the whiikey business in Philadelphia. His legitimate profits were not sufficient for his wants, and his distil lery was accordingly seized by the Govern ment for illicit distillation. It was here that he acquired that knowledge of Gov ernment accounts which peculiarly quali fies him to be Auditor General of Penn sylvania, in the judgment of the temper ance party. Therefore, temperance men, vote for Spangler, and elect that staunch, temperance man, William I%l'Candless. A bill was introduced in the Legisla ture during the term of Wm M'Candless as Senator, which provided for the estab lishment of a cattle yard at Philadelphia, in the absolute possession of a close cor poration ofa half dozen individuals, thro• gh which every pound of beef consumed in Philadelphia should pass and.. be inspected. Its effect was to pass an enormous tax upon drovers, and to raise the price of beef rp on consumers. It is known as the "Infa mous" Cattle Bill. In the Senate its champion orator was William M'Candless. Whereupon all drovers and all consumers should vote for Cattle Bill M'Candless, When the Free Railroad bill was making its last struggle in the Pennsylvania Leg islature, General M'Candless was in the Senate and voted constantly and consis tently with its opponents. 'Whenever an issue was raised between the public and their creature corporations, his voice and vote were for the corporations. Where fore the western advocates of a Free Rail road law are expected to vote for Railroad Bill .M'Candless. When the Connellaville railroad was be ing strangled by its great competitor, Gen. M'Candless was in the Senate, and was eager and active in his endeavors for its destruction. None so willing as he to drive the very last nail into its coffin. Therefore, the merchants - or Pittsbnigh and the people of the west are expected to vote solidly and enthusiastically for Con_ nellsville Bill M'Candless. Vote for GENERAL Bill M'Candless. • DEFAULTER Bill M'Candless. CATTLE BILL M'Candless. RAILROAD BILL M'Candless. CONNELLSVILLE BILL M'Candless. Or, if you can't do this, for God's sake give a vote to Spangler. Then the Sol diers, and the Temperance men, and the Working m.n and the consumers of Phil adelphia beef, and the fliends of a Free Railroad, and of the— Connellsville enter prise,l will have an Intik r General upon whom they can rely, and he country will be safe.—Beaver Radical. JESS S . Not many years ago J udge Taylor se verely reprimanded a gentleman of Tyrone, then a resident of Huntingdon, for pro posing to vote for a Democratic candidate. Said the Judge ; "Mr. —, you never should split " your ticket, especially on important offices. " No party is safe unless it can depend up "on its •rnenibers. You slaughter your reg " ular nominees, and I wouldn't give a pie " wine for a party. No sir, STICK Tq,' " YOUR TICK ET ALWAYS. Therein "lies the safety of the Republican party." Should we attempt it, we should fail in giving Republicans better advice than that given by Judge Tayl.z. "Therein lies the safety of the Republican party." As true as the needle to the pole. "No party is safe," etc. Every honest party man feels that to be true. "Stick to your ticket?' Yes, STICK ! Remember the Judge's charge, delivered when he was personally disinterested, and teach political malcon tents, vipers, guerrillas, bolters, ga - mblers and barnacles that with you Republican ism means the TICKET.—Tyrone herald. Vote Early ! And then see that your neighbors go out and vote all right. Examine every ticket before voting ! Vote early ! Once will be sufficient ! Vote for Judge Clarkson ! He is a man of integrity and experi- ence, and the regular nominee of the party. See that he receives every Republican vote. Vote for Clarkson I Don't Vote against Principles! Every kepublican wilco votes against Gen. Lane votes to tintke a Democratic Congressional district and paves the way for a Democratic United States Senator. What a Vote for Africa Is ! It is a vote fir a Democratic Congres sional District, virtually a vote for a De mocratic United States Senator, and a vote for a man who will vote against every Re publican measure. Vote for Lane! :ft_ If you want an honest, upright man in the Auditor General's office for the next three years, vote for Stanton ! te.. Vote the ticket clean ! A HI OLD DRUNK. One of the BANKS of the De mocracy Refuses to Cave ! A DEMOCRATIC CONCLAVE! BANKS WON'T WITHDRAW ! 'Nothing but a Miracle can Save Him !" On last Tuesday afternoon a report was rapidly spread amongst the people of the town, that the leading Democratic politi cians of this Judicial District were to as semble at the Exchange Hotel, in this place, that evening, for the purpose of„ in ducing Mr. Banks to withdraw. Consid erable interest was felt in regard to the matter in Republican circles, however nothing definite was ascertained until Wed nesday morning, when our reporter, who had hung upon the skirts of the affair, in formed us that after a muddled exchange of opinions, in which one of the party said that "nothing but a miracle could save him" (Banks) and our "oily gammon" Congressman, in the blandest manner, as sured the assembly that "the Democratic party coulu not be controlled in his favor here," it was no go. Banks had determin ed to "stick." After this the whole party, with a few exceptions, imbibed freely, and the drunker they got the better Banks men they became. What a confession of weak ness. Republicans, work and vote for Dean President Judge. From all quarters of the District we have the most cheering news. Persons who have heretofore been for Taylor, many of them his warm personal friends, seeing that there is no chance for his election, and that ev ery vote for Taylor counts half a vote for Banks, are dropping him, and express themselves as heartily in favor of Mr. Dean, and the whole regular Republican ticket. Particularly is this the case in Huntingdon county. Our friends there now claim that Mr. Deau will carry that county by a majority of not less than from six to eight hundred. The feeling has not been so good in that county for the past three years—all differences are healed— and both parties are fighting manfully for the whole ticket, and both Republican pa pers are warmly and effectively supporting Mr. Dean. In Cambria the out-look is excellent for our popular and talented candidate, Mr. Dean, and our friends there are confidently expecting to bring down the majority in that county considerably, and many actu ally expect t 9 give him a majority. In Blair, Mr. Dean is gaining strength every day—the Taylor men are growing fewer and fewer—until we can confidently predict he will not get two hundred votes in the county, of all parties; and very ma ny Democrats who desire to see a talented and energetic lawyer on the bench in this district, will vote for him. His majority in Blair will be large—this we assure our friends i- the other counties—all we de sire is for them to do their duty, which we have every assurance they will—we will do ours.

Judicial Districts and Judg. EDITOR JOURNAL :-My communicat regard to "Judicial Districts," haw construed by the Court, in a carefully red opinion, to include Judges as well tricts, ft becomes necessary to amend claration and introduce new evidence this issue. I have learned that the friends of M considered my article written in the of Judge Taylor by shielding him from sibility and throwing it on the overgrc siness of the district. That construction would seem quite sonable as that of Judge Taylor's, but t is I had my attention called to this out the applications made to the Legislatu I was a member orthe Lower House for additional law Judges in several d I then examined some statistics in re it, and afterwards had some corresp. with Hon. Wm. M. Hall, one of the C sinners to revise the civil code, as to the re-districting of the State woul within their powers. Finding it woul bad intended at that time to call atte the subject, but being an industrious the Judge says, and, besides, somewh: to attend ng to my own business, it pa: of my mind until recalled by the disc about the pending judicial elections. made a few observations through your, on a matter of public interest, without myself responsible to any of the condi, judicial honors. It is kindly intimat my communication says one thing an, another. That is altogether gratuitous. If tl hidden and offensive meaning, the t reader would not be so ready to see it Honor, and why should he .ske so mut ble to point it out? If my letter is t ken as meaning the reverse of what i may fairly apply the same rule of cons to the reply, and then we would be g the rule of contraries. I regard the construction, however, as only an i I little ruse on his part, to tide into yo umns a good, strong electioneering ar 1 1 himself. I knew candidates are very at but they always keep the main point 1 I have been a candidate and "know h. myself." Ido not here refer to my ca for the Judgeship so adroitly intrude "the present incumbent " I was rut little—only a little—but I am now out way. There is a clear track and shout gouging. This brings me to reflect tint been wounded in another tender point always considered humility the strong my character, but now it is clearly by your correspondent that I am "prom ing nothing, speaking of things too me." Perhaps we ought both to pet the poet Burns for the gift of seeingo as others see us. That part of his Hon ter which facetiously places me on tilt for the purpose of drawing a contrast own favor, is doubtless intended for E In the matter of sarcasm I freely ackn his superiority. His letter was not n. prove it. I know it. I have felt it, have others of my humble brethren of but it is a bad weapon for a Judge to always cuts the hand that wields it. In conclusion the Judge makes som vations about the proper remedy f which he admits to exist. This part letter contains some valuable suggesti I have no fault to find with it. I feel. 1 a little like the deacon who, when hi was denouncing some particular sin, t. he felt himself guilty, rose to his fee till it was through, and nen sat dt nudged his fellow deacon to rise and 5 while the next sin in the decalogue up and denounced. So I say to my 1 of the bar. Stand up. I have taken n of the lecture like a man, and I wan do the same. You know very well, get that you deserve it more than I do. more impertinent questions and mak• speeches than I do. You are constan ing witnesses on to tell endless stork nothing, and writing down every wort were precious gospel. You are alms• hurry when another attorney has the the Court, but time is nothing when y it yourselves. Now, Mr. Editor, this letter is long It does not contain anything of much quence to anybody, nor does it contai natured remark. Judge Taylor is no nerabl., and 1 migh. say some harsh t him if I were so disposed, but I am no it a mean thing to attack a man just he is a candidate. Hardly any pro that coulethe offered would induce m it. He has a reputation and position rist on which he can rest without imp my motives. He has told us truly th obscurity he has risen, by his own exe his present high position. For this I him. I know the difficulties 112 has ha counter by my own experience. My be was as humble as his, and though I I attained office or eminence as he has, that I have slowly but surely attained in the confidence of my fellow-citizen is the very life, and breath of one a do, depends entirely on his profession port. For •tpwards of twenty years diligently studied and practised law courts of this connty presided o'ver Taylor. On the whole I have no pt reason to complain, and I don't com; am no growler, but I have courage en take the world as I find it, and will try every emergency as it arises. SAML. T. BR
