MS— Our worthy contemporary, of the
Bellefonte Republican, W. W. Brown,
Esq., is highly recommended for Congress
in the Centre district. He is an able and
fearless advocate of Republican principles
and deserves well at the hands of the party
for his eminent services. We wish him
success.
Mir We are anthorised"to say, says the
Carlisle Herald, that Gen. Todd has not
declined the nomination as Congressmen
at large. It having been made without
his knowledge or solicitation, he does not
feel at liberty to refuse the position or its
responsibilities, unless by so doing he can
promote the harmony and strength of the
Republican party.

of the lordly Sam Kepler, withdrew from
the Methodist church, because a loyal pas
tor prayed for the success of the Union
arms, they started a little Secesh church
of their own, but it was no go. Sam was
too heavy for even Hartley, so they had
another Secesh sent up to take Sam's place,
but after a few Union victories Hartley
advised him to "git."
ao_ We have received a copy of 'The
First Book of the Chronicles of the Jona
thanites, by A Scribe, the Son of a Proph
et," which is one of the best productions
of the times. It is accurate, witty and
intensely sarcastical. The author never
reaches for an opponent without hitting
him fairly between the eyes. Its execu
tion is faultless. We hope we may be fa
vored with other books of the series. It
is printed •by Collins, No. 705 Jayne
street, Philadelphia.
eft_ If there is one thing above anoth
er, that should be interdicted, by the ju
dicious regulations of modern society, it
ought to be that no creature should be
permitted to control the columns of a news
paper, who does not appreciate his own
profession, and endeavor to elevate and
ennoble that profession. We have a pro
found pity for the poor wretch, whose soul
is so diminutive and his reason so at fault,
that he must resort to personal detraction
when his political positions are assailed.
THE POLITICAL ACROBAT,
Dryden, in his Absalom and Achitophel,
when describing the Duke of Buckingham,
expresses himself in a few vigorous lines
which, with a little alteration, would not
be ill adapted to the Duke of Chappaqua:
Speaking of Buckingham, under the name
of Zimri, Dryden says :
EDITOR
"Some of their chiefs were traitors of the land
In the first rank of these did Zimri stand ;
A man so various that he seemed to be
Not one, but all mankind's epitome;
Stiff in opinions, whether right or wrong
Was everything '
by starts, and nothing Tong ;
But, in the course of one revolving moon,
Was farmer, writer, plotter and buffoon.
Bailing and praising were his usual themes,
And both to show his judgment, in extremes ;
So over-violent, or ever-civil,
That every man with him was God or devil.
The lord of Chappaqua, however, ex
ceeds Buckingham in the readiness and
facility with which he consorts with those
whom he has so frequently and so vehe
mently execrated as vile and diabolical.—
Those whom he has so often resented as
"morally rotten," "given up to debauchery
and vice," and of whom he wished it
"written on his grave that he never was
their follower," he now obsequiously courts.
He knows that they hate and despise him
--knows that Judge Black said that "had
yon raked this world and the two adjacent
you could not have found a more unfit man
to be President"—knows that so late as
May 21, 1872, August Belmont said "the
nomination of Greeley is one of those stu
pendous mistakes which it is difficult even
to comprehend"—knows that there is no
respect, esteem or admiration felt for him
by the Democrats, and yet he now entreats
them, unchanged as they are, to make him
their President.
The first designations of Greeley as a
candidate for the Presidency present a pic
ture of the ludicrous and the detestable :
The vet' , first person who ever put Gree
ley's name into his paper as such a candi
date was a man whom all parties, all sects,
all persuasions and all persons agree as
being one of the most despicable and un
principled individuals who ever disgaced
the editorial chair or the arena of letters.
Charles A. Dana, well designated as "the
pirate of the press," was the man who in
derision and mockery, as an indignity and
insult, first put up the name of Horace
Greeley for President. For a whole year
this farce continued, when another man, a
rebel of the "straightest sect"—a blatant,
scurrilous, violent, indecent Thersites did in
earnest what Dana had done as the height
of ridicule. This Ruffian of the Press,
who publishes The Weekly Caucasian, in
Lexington, Mo., proclaimed Greeley for
the Presidency.
He carried on a correspondence relative
to the matter with the Chappaqua Sage.—
The latter smiled in his peculiar Chinese
fashion, and mildly doubted whether he
was exactly the timber out of which to
make a Democratic candidate; but as he
is, and ever has been great on advice, from
wooden shoes to dead beats, be proceeded
to give this Pat Donne advice as to the
best way to beat Grant. Pat, it seems,
knew his man, knew his conceit, knew his
vanity, knew his love of office, and knew
that he might be made a serviceable tool
by ministering to his weaknesses. Pat
was well aware,
"That renegades, who ne'erturn by halves,
Are bound in conscience to be double knaves.
Pat persevered. He nailed the name of
Greeley to his mast head, where it floats
along with his platform of principles, of
which the following is a plank :
"We believe in secession, in the rightfulness of
slavery, in the illegality of all the Yankee-nigger
bayonet amendments to the Constitution, and the
total repudiation of all debts, federal, state and
country, contracted by Radical fraud, violence and
misrule."
When the Cincinnati Convention had
consummated that "stupendous mistake"
of which August Belmont speaks, and
nominated Greeley, of whom Samuel Bowles
said that "with his usual perversity of
temper and openness to flattery, ho will
probably continue to give his faith, and
attribute his success to those who fawn
upon him and who use him," the shouts
of exultation of Pat Donan knew no
bounds. No Patrick on St. Patrick's day,
or any other day, no Patrick drunk or
sober, no Patrick "clothed and in his
right mind" or out of his seven senses,
ever set up such a halla-balloo as Pat of
the Caucasian. When Shakspeare says :
"Give me the cups;
And let the kettle to the trumpet speak,
The trumpet to the eannoneer . withOut,
The cannons to the heavens, the heavens to earth,"
his mode of rejoicing was nothing to the
crazy rhetoric, screaming indecencies, and
prose run need of Pat Donan. Out of a
column of disgusting trash we give a sin
gle paragraph. Thus he shouts:
"Glorificallelnjernm ! Hurrah ! Three times
three thousand cheers and a view-halloo for Horace
Greeley and B. Gratz Brown, the philosopher and
the statesman ! You'll only have to live till next
November, to see theconsummation so devoutly to
be wished—the overthrow of the Tumblebug and
all his vile myrmidons; the annihilation of tyranny
and corruption on our republican soil ; and the re
establishment of law and order, liberty, peace and
prosperity; by the triumphant election of Greeley
and Brown—the ticket first suggested, and only
one advocated by The Caucasian."
So Pat and Dana, the latter of whom has
now made an earnest of his jest, have the
pleasure of seeing their cabdidate adopted.
On the 20th of June Carl Schurz, Lyman
Trumbull and others, with wry faces and
woeful groans, bolted Greeley, as the poor
boys at Squeers' execrable school bolted
their matinal dose of brimstone. They
took the nauseous pill in the vain hope
that it would physic Grant; being in the
situation of the irate wight who bit off his
own nose in order to spit it in his neigh
bor's face. These renegades are ready to
emulate August Belmont, who, in the same
letter where be confesses the ' stupendous
mistake" of nominating Greeley, yet also
says, "So much am I impressed with the
fatal consequences in store for our common
country by the re-election of Grant, that I
would willingly vote for my deadliest ene
my in order to prevent such a catastrophe."
He afterwards says that Greeley to him
was "the most objectionable person whom
the Liberals could select."
Such is the delightful serenity, the high
appreciation, the delectable ardor and the
distinguished consideration with which
Greeley's allies greet him ! How
he must felicitate himself at such testimo
nials! How hi 3 pulses must throb and
heart leap at such manifestations of regard!
How it must console him for the contempt
of his former friends; how it must cheer
him under the scorn of those whom he has
deserted ! Happy Greeley ! Happy Bel
mont ! Damon and Pythias : Par nobile
fratrum !
But the fortunate Horace has another
comfort in his new estate—that of bob
nobbing and taking sweet counsel with
men of whom, at no remote period, be said
the reverse of complimentary things. In
describing one of them in the Tribune of
October 25, 1865, he unwittingly descri
bed himself. When he finished his edi
torial, if a prophetic Nathan had been
there, he might have looked into the fu
ture and said, "Thou art the man !"
When John Cochrane bolted, as Greeley
has now bolted, the latter thus wrote:
"Gen. Cochrane has taken his stand, in fact,
whatever he may profess, with those who to-day
refuse to colored Americans the right of suffrage,
whether in the North or the South, and will soon
deny them the right of education, the freedom of
the Press, and (if they dare) the right to sue and
testify in courts of justice. Let him say what he
will, the triumph of the party to which he has
apostatized is the triumph of oppression, the dis
franchisement of a race, the branding of our fath
ers as knaves or idiots, in proclaiming that all
men have an inalienable right to 'life, liberty, and
the pursuit of happiness,' and that 'governments
derive their just powers from the consent of the
governed. "Hell from beneath' is stirred to de
moniac joy by the spectacle of such a treachery,
and every traitorous ruffian who, in the dark dens
of this emporium, gleefully drank health and suc
cess to JEFF Dews, while LEE'S guns were thun
dering at Gettysburg, or, a few days later, fired
draft offices and devastated orphan asylums in aid
of the rebellion, will nom rapturously hail General
Cochrane as a compatriot mad brother."
Can it be possible that the man so truth
fully characterized in the above extract,
and who is the same man now that he was
then, is at present Greeley's bosom friend,
chief adviser, and head manager ? It is
even so. He is now Chairman of Gree
ley's Committee; he is the jackall who
purveys for the Chappaqua lion. But if
Greeley unconsciously described himself
when portraying Cochrane, so when he
delivered a speech in Trumbull county,
Ohio, he just as accurately delineated the
position he now occupies. Mr. Greeley
said :
"I saw the other day a suggestion that I would
probably be the best Democratic candidate to rim
against General Grant for President. I thought
that about the most absurd thing I ever heard of.
If the Democratic party were called upon to decide
between Grant and myself I know that their regard
for what they must call principle would induce
them to vote against me. Why? lam a decided
enemy of that party, coon in its most respectable as
pects." _ _ _
Yet these extremes have met, and Bal
timore and Chappaqua have coalesced.—
Greeley's greed for office, and his hatred
and envy of Grant have impelled him to
the embrace. A love plunder, and the
desire to bring back again the old tyran
nies and the old abuses are tho influencing
motive of the so-called Democratic party.
We may, however, safely trust to the
intelligence, good sense and patriotism of
the republican masses. They have for
leaders two'noble men in the true sense of
the term—Nature's noblemen, both sprung
from the loins of the people, both working
men, both true in their instincts, both
worthy of the profound enthusiasm they
excite and the popular regard to which
they give birth. Greeley, before he be
came a renegade, rightly stated our posi
tion as supporters of Grant. He said in a
public speech :
"We are led by him who first taught our armies
to conquer in the West, and subsequently in the
East also. Richmond would not come to us until
we sent GRANT after it, and then it had to come.
[Cheers.] He has nerer get been defeated, and nev
er will be. He WILL 00 AS GREAT AND SUCCESS
FUL ON THE FIELD OF POLITICS AS ON TRAT OF
ARMS."
SENATOR SCOTT and the PATRIOT.
The Harrisburg Patriot seems much
disturbed at the course of Senator Scott,
and recently devotes many articles to him,
They are as devoid of force as of truth, and
so contradictory of one another that they
only serve to convince its readers how se
riously the labors of the Senator have
damaged the Democratic party.
At one time he is charged with being a
subservient instrument of the Pennsylva
nia Railroad Company ; in its issue of the
3d inst., however, in an article which bears
strongly in sympathy towards the new
Greeley Ku Klux brethren, he is repre
sented as acting in direct hostility to the
"commercial interests of that corporation."
The Patriot would evidently sacrifice
the lives of hundreds of citizens of the
Northern States and place the personal
security and rights of whole communities
at the mercy of the Ku Klux mob rather
than interfere with "commercial interests."
The Ku Klux are now to be propitiated
for Greeley. Speaking of the Ku Klux
act the Patriot says :
"What it has already eost is now witnessed in
South Carolina. Twenty-three of the victims of
this policy have already been sent to the Albany
jail, and more yet are to come. The federal au
thorities had no trouble in procuring convictions
from negro juries and prevaricating judges on the
information of hireling informers. On their way
to prison the victim* were in charge of soldiers
wearing the uniform of the republic, who blushed
at the shameful duty imposed on them."
We are glad that "twenty-three of the
victims" over whom the Patriot sheds its
tears are in the Albany jail. If we recol
lect aright more than thrice that number,
instead of being convicted by"negro juries,
on the information of hireling informers,"
went into court, made open confession of
their crimes, and were sentenced to im
prisonment.
_ _ _
One year ago the Patriot and its Demo
cratic allies were denying the existence
and the acts of the Ku Klux. Even now
when the members of the organization
themselves furnish the proof not only of
the existence of the Ku Klux organization
but of the murders and outrages perpetra
ted by its members, the Patriot can un
blushingly ask sympathy for the authors
of such crimes by holding them up as "vic
tims," and the policy that enacted laws
for the protection of the victims of the
Ku Klux and for the punishment of the
assassins'is denounced as bigotry.
The Patriot is over zealous. We com
mend to its consideration letters published
in recent dates of the New York Tribune,
now the Bible of its new faith, in which a
traveling correspondent of that Taper says
he was informed that trying all who are
indicted in North and South Carolina
would be "like trying people for taking
part in the rebellion" and admits that the
proceedings in court had broken up the l i
traitorous organization whose existence the
Patriot, a year ago, so stoutly and jeering
ly denied, and whose members he agrees
were all members of the Democratic party
We hope the Patriot will continue to man:
ifest its sympathy for the Ku Klux.
The country well understand the motive
for attacks upon the men who have expo
sed the iniquities of the Klan, and will
appreciate the character of the combina
tion which seeks to unite the Ku Klux of
the South and the Democrats of the North
in party support of Horace Greeley.
Even in so low a view as "commercial
interests" would give the people of the
South themselves are not so blind or so
bigoted as the editor of the Patriot.
The following extract we take from a
paper published at Columbia, S. C., and
commend it to the Patriot. It will be a
good article to answer in its next assault
upon Senator Scott who needs no defence
at our hand? :
“The masses of the South are in heart for Grant,
and will vote for him in November. The colored
men and the white Unionists, who took to Ike gen
eral government for protection from the Ku Klux
assassins, for pence and security, without whisk
life and citizenship area curse rather than a bless
ing, these will instinctively rally to the standard
of the sincere and earnest patriot, the wise and
faithful President, General Grant.
"And side by side with these men will be found
thousands upon thousands of those who were once
against us. Thousands joined the Ku Klux Klan
who to-day realize full well that that order has
been the greatest curse ever suffered to be let loose
upon the State, and who thank Grant in their heart
of hearts for putting down with a strong hand the
terrible conspiracy, and these men will vote for
him. As they would dread another war, so they
would dread the election of Greely. The South is
going to be astonished when the vote is rolled up
next fall, and the old-time leaders who once said
to this State "go, and it goeth," and to that State
"come, and it cometh." to find that sovereign
American voters have at last repudiated their fatal
leadership, to follow the safer convictions and in
tuitions of their own minds.
"We have then, the capitalists of the country,
the business men end manufacturing interests on
the side of Grant for prudential reasons, if for no
other. The farmers, who .Ind a ready market for
their produce ; the laborers, who have abundance
of labor, and increased wages ; the shipping inter
ests, which are improving and rapidly recovering
from the disasters of the war. Add to this, the
Unionists of the South, thestruggling manufactur
ing interests of this section, the capital that is
seeking investment, and the enterprises which are
daily set on foot, all these immense interests of
peace, safety and permanent prosperity are poised
in the scale. The people see it and are determined
to stand by Grant. They need and must have a
just, wise, strong, steady, reliable administration.
This, Grant will give us ; vacillating, crotchety
Greeley cannot be trusted, and the nation will not
place in charge of such a man, at this critical mo
ment, the priceless interests of the nation's pros
perity and peace.

WHITE HOUSE OBLIGATIONS
General Grant and family have gone to.
Long Branch, to breathe for the next two
months, a little pure air, and if possible,
enjoy a season of rest. The fact is tele
graphed to the country, and all sensible
men who appreciate the labors of the Pre
sident, through a tedious cession of Con
gress, are glad to hear that he can rest a
while from the vexations of the White
House. They understand that he can
perform every function of his office; that
his presence, if needed at the Capital 4 can
be had in a few hours, and that py,q,o
possibility can the public interests suffer
by his passing the heated term at his Cot:
tag° on the ocean beach, instead of at the
White House. But narrow-minded me o
profess to be "liberal," small-souled Demo
crats, who feed and grow fat on slander,
take occasion to denounce the President
for deserting—as they call it—his post of
duty. There is a class of people, not very
large or respectable, who have an idea that
the Constitution of the United States re
quires the President to keep within the
walls of the White House; to be ready to
give audience to every visitor who calls to
see him; to be on exhibition from morning
until night like some rare curiosity in a
museum ; to listen to the complaints of ev
ery sorehead, and to give attentive ear to
every importunate office-seeker; to lay
aside the wants and necessities of human
nature, and to resolve the man into afigure
of iron and brass, so as to enduid - heat and
fatigue under which flesh and blood would
sink exhausted. These are the men who
howl over Grant's leaving the White
House. They enjoy fresh air and recrea
tion themselves, but deny the same sensible
enjoyment to the President of the United
States !
President Grant shows good sense in
leaving the White House during the sum
mer months. The house is unfit for a
summer residence. It is located in a spot
noted for its malarial fevers, overlooking
the low meadows which skirt the Potomac,
the south breeze, which should bring
health, comes ladeued, morning and night,
with the migsmatie vapors which breed
disease. Other Presidents have sent their
families away to escape the dangers of this
unhealthy spot. Some have stayed and
paid the penalty of their mistaken idea of
propriety, by sickness and death. Andrew
Johnson tried the experiment for at least
one season, and some members of his
household contracted disease from which
they never recovered. Why the White
House was built on its present site, or why
it has been allowed to remain, when se
many beautiful and healthy sites surround
the Capital, is a mystery to us. If it had
any political significance, we should say it
was built where it is to make Greeley's
"one term principle" a necessity of natures.
for we honestly believe that the President
who inflates his lungs for four years, sum
mer and winter, with the atmosphere which
surrounds the Executive Mansion, will be
incapacitated for a second term. If public
duty required President Grant to breathe
the air of a swamp, through the summer
months, he would not shrink from the un
wholesome task. But it does not. Wheth
er on the mountain top or the ocean beach,
he is the Chief Executive, ready and will
ing to perform every duty that his office
demands. Grant faced the blazing sun at
Vicksburg, because duty required it; he
never sought rest or comfort during four
years of terrible fighting, because a sense
of duty impelled him to labor; he never
neglected an obligation, and never will.—
The loyal millions will not envy his few
weeks enjoyment at the ocean beach.—
Their love and blessings follow him
wherever he goes, and the prayer to-day
of the true friends of the Republic goes
up, that a kind Providence will bless him
with health and strength, and enable him
to rule oveethe nation, through his second
term, with the same wisdom that has char
acterized his first.
THE BALTIMORE CONVENTION.
The agony is over ! The Democracy
have surrendered and the few sore-head
Republicans are the victors ! A party of
three millions of voters have capitulated,-
unconditionally, to a baker's dozen ! The
Baltimore Convention, which assembled
on the 9th inst., nominated the Cincinnati
nominees and endorsed its platform to the
dotting of an i and the crossing of a t !
The pariy died between the alternate strains
Of "Yankee Doodle," "Dixie," "Tramp !
Tramp !" and "Maryland, my Maryland !"
It did not want to die, but die it had to,
and it was done with the best grace pos
sible.
SELECTING DELEGATES TO THE
REPUBLICAN COUNTY CON-
VENTION
A few words, on this important subject,
will not be out of place.
It is the duty of every Republican, who
desires the welfare of his country and his
party, to attend the delegate elections.—
Here is where all the evils, which the
country is heir to, originate. Good men,
very frequently, conclude that they care
very little who is elected a delegate to the
County Convention, and the result is they
stay away and the indifferent. element in
the community, which has little or nothing
at stake, sends its representatives. They
become the creatures of some designing, ir
responsible demagogue, are traded around
like so much old lumber, and their votes
assist in nominating men of their own
stamp, who, having received the nomina
tion, by the lethargy of the true friends
of the party, insist upon its support, and
the party, not willing to sacrifice its nomi
nees, is obliged to elect them. Once in
office such characters exercise influence,
and they help to make higher nominees and
elect their own class to higher positions.
Good men may complain, scold and occa
sionally curse the bad element which so
frequently creeps into the best positions
in the land. to fatten upon the tax-payers,
but until they attend the delegate elec
tions, where all the mischief commences,
and see that none but the best, the purest,
the most firm men, those who have minds
of their own and who will do what is right
in spite of all the flattery, false and seduc
tive promises of demagogues, this will be
the case.
REPUBLICANS OF HUNTINGDON COUN
TY ! We urge you to select your own del_
egates. Do not let any candidate or out
side influence "set up" delegates for you.
There is certainly brains enough, in every
district, to run its own politics. Select no
man to represent you who is identified
with any ring, or who has ever betrayed
you. No man that you cannot trust, and
whose word is notes good as his bond. No
man whose ways are dark and tricks vain-
No man who seeks the place for the pur
pose of furthering the schemes of, some
demagogue, who cares for nobody but self
and who, in his duplicity and treachery,
uses his dupes just so far as he can, by
.flattering their ambition and promising
them that which he has promised to a doz
en of others, and when he has accomplish
ed his selfish ends finds some pretext for
kicking them aside. You want no person
of this kind. Yon want honest, capable,
discriminating men who will do the best for
the party,and who will ignore those who have
debauched your politics and endeavored to
make machines of you to further their own
selfish purposes. Let the cry be, good
and reliable men to the front
"DEPART IN PEACE."
It' Horace Greeley expects any support
from the colored voters, North and South,
he is doomed to disappointment. They
know him too well. They know that if
his views had prevailed in 1861, or in
1864, they would be to-day in hopeless
bondage. Greeley may present his old
files of anti-slavery tracts to prove that he
has been their steadfast friend, but all the
writings of his lifetime cannot remove that
single sentence which is burned into the
memory of every colored citizen, "Let our
wayward sisters depart in peace."
If Horace Greeley's views had prevailed
we should have had the Union destroyed,
a slave government established, and the
bmancipation of the slave would have been
a human impossibility.
No colored man who loves freedom bet
ter than slavery will vote for Horace
Greeley.
LIBERAL GALVANISM,
Bill Tweed and his band of thieves have
been galvanized into new life, by Greeley
and his "Liberal" movement. Tweed sup_
ports Greeley and did as well for him at
Baltimore as Greeley has done for Tweed

FARM AT PRIVATE SALE.
The undersigned, in consequence of the sad
accident which held him in December last, is
obliged to abandon farming, and now offers his
farm, at private sale, situated in Franklin town
ship, on Spruce Creek, adjoining the town of
Franklinville, four and a half miles from the
Pennsylvania Railroad, (Spruce Creek Station)
the turnpike leading therefrom past the farm, said
farm contains one hundred and twenty-five acres,
and one hundred perches,
about twenty-five acres
of which are well timbered. The farm is in a good
etate of cultivation; last year,about seven hundred
bushels of number ono wheat were raised on the
farm, said wheat brought in market this spring,
delivered at Spruce Creek, 82.15 per bushel. The
buildings are a large frame dwelling house about
as good as new and is a number one house, which
commands a beautiful view of the town of Frank
linville and the pike for one mile, also a good
tenant house, bunk barn, wagon shed with corn
cribs, Blacksmith shop. and other outbuildings
necessary. A spring of never failing limestone
water which supplies both house and barn with
abundance of water, also a new cistern in the yard
of the mansion house. There is a splendid orchard
of Apple, Peach, Pear and Plumbs close to the house.
This farm is truly noted by all passers by as being
a hardsome place to live. The buyer can have his

sonal property, including farm implements, ma
chinery, and stoek can be bought with the farm if
desired, or the farm separate. A daily mail is

TO THE PUBLIC.
The North-Western (Babcock,) Fire Extin
guisher Company having brought suit against the
Philadelphia (Gardner,) Fire Extinguisher Com
pany, for alleged infringement of the Curlier and
Vignon Patent, (dated April 13th, 18690 which
the said Babcock Company professes to own, in the
use of water impregnated with Carbonic Acid Gas
as a means to extinguish fire, we desire to make the
following statements all of which, we are prepared
to fully substantiate by proof
First. The so-called Carlier and Vignon Pat
ent is invalid for want of novelty, in that a patent
was issued to IV. H. Phillips, in England, in 1844,
and in this country in 1810. Carbonic Acid was
used as the extinguishing agent.
Second. The said so-called Carlier and Vignon
Patent has no legal existence, no legal application
ever having been made for it to the Patent Office ;
and its issuance therefrom was accomplished by
gross fraud.
Third. The lawyers conducting the suit against
us, brought suit for the same clients on the same
Patent, against one Duryea, in the U. S. Court in
New York, 1870, and the answer of Duryea being
filed, setting forth the facts herein alluded to, said
suit was dismissed at the cost of the plaintiffs.
-
The Babcock Company expects to destroy the
sale of the Gardner Extinguisher, which has so
seriously interfered with their long-enjoyed mono
poly, by extensively advertising this suit, and
thus intinaideding the public. It is our purpose to
defeat their fraudulent design, and to this end, we
will shortly publish a history of the matter, which
will undeceive the public and expose the worthless
ness of that sham, called the Carlier and Vignon
Patent.
REPUBLICAN.
Copies will be mailed to any address on appli
cation. This Company will give guarantees
against all loss, damage or trouble for use of the
Gardner Extinguisher, and will, at its sole expenge,
defend all suits that may be brought against it.
