Simbury, Holiday Evening, Ang. o, 18GH, ' [REPORTED BY J, J. 3IURPUY.] ’Mr. President and Fellow Citizens of Northumberland County .—I have anlaiu’ tale for plain men. The Conveutlon-as sembled at Harrisburg on the 14th of July having presented the names of Packer and Pershing for the offices of Governor ond Justice of the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania, it becomes my business and is a pleasure, torecommehd them to you and to your fellow-citizeha everywhere in our ■ Commonwealth for election. For, assuredly, they are g66d men and true. They are such in private life unquestionably,-for that is a conces sion which is .made, and must be made even by their political opponents. That they are fitted tb be such in public life will become equally clear and manifest by au examination of thelrLpavj.-yUJW . opoupy b'efo'rey onus candidates. . * Judge Packer bas illustrated various characters in bis past life. He bos been a carpenter, a farmer, a boatman, a con tractor for the transportation of coal, and a constructor of railroad Improvements. He has also been a merchant, a stock holder In great enterprises, and, finally? the head and chief of one of the principal improvements of our .Commonwealth, whose connections . and extensions are moat important to the prosperity of our people, to tho development of our inter nal wealth, aud.to uniting ps by-lines of commercial intercourse . (which' mean wealth and blessings) to the-citizens of our sister States. This, described by its leading features, has been his business life; these have beeh the different busi ness capacities in which be has appeared among and before his fellow-iheu.- : - - But he has also been tried on it thbatre of action to which but few men of the total -mass of the community, can be in vited.-. He has been tried in political life as well as In judicial station. 7 Upbti one occasion, fora series of years,- he ocoit pled the place of a judge in (he courts of his county, where justice was to be dis- El our State;goVerhment;jiiml totee-Wisls tivo branch also.? .Jb motlbAt opinion which. has.

When the fraud was exposed aiid the Senate uuan mously passed a bill repealing the act, Geary or his people arrestedit in the House, and It stuck .there ; it could hot get through that branch of which; the Goverupr is the'iustrumeut. Itrequlred the interposition.pf the Supreme Court of T he judges of that courl . took that infamous act; and by judicial power le ytore it to shreds ana. stamped upon ■it. There it lies deapised of all men: but along with its condemnation goes the condemnation of jhe men who passed it, and the condemnation of the man ,who signed'it. , , Tdke the Covpde election casein There is an aot of Congress With regard tot he . election of members of Congress,-. fequlr iug them to be chosen by single dlstfiots, and then there are laws' in the several States regulating the manner ini which votes shall be given,' and how’ returns ?, I, blade, In, all -oases','-however, the Governors of the States' are selected as the channels through which theUe're- 1 Ivwicßbuiiiimjina 'vrasutugron, aiui by ' express statute it is made the duty of our. 1 Governor, upon receiving .those .returns from the several districts, to issue a proc lamation annonnoingto the whole peO- i plei of the State the result of the election, i That is the : authority upon which repre- i sentalives so chosen are admitted to their : seats in the-first instance. . i In the representative district in which I General Foster and Mr. Covode were ' candidates; the return judges met, and' i by the returns in tUeir possession it ap- 1 peered that General Foster bad a major- ' Ity ol the votes in the district. 1 A retain i corresponding with thisstatbof facts was < made up, signed by a majority of the re turn judges, and transmitted in accord ance with law to Harrisburg. A miuor i:y return judge made up, at the instiga tiou, it is understood, of-Mr. Covode, a statemeiitexeludiug certain election dis- . tricts iu one of the ’ counties Horn the return, aud thus showing an apparent majority.for Mr/CoyOlle.; N6w| what : was tlie duty •of the, Gov ernor under ! the law ?, N.obody pan ques tion,it. It was to accept !the return- of the majority of ttjose Judges, to iaaue his proclamation accordingly, and toponfer, by virtue of that proceeding, upon Gen eral Foster the right to take his seat iu Congress as the apparent or prirna facie member from the district. What was ■done by the Governor? Was the Jaw - executed? No; it was openly violated. Unissued a pruuluiuatlou setting forth that no one, so Jar ■us the-papers before biin.sliowed, was elected'from the'Con gressional district iu question, and ho precipitated upon the House of Bepresen- , tutives at Washington a -disputed quoa tiou under -conditions- aud iu a manner not contemplated by the law, butin utter violation of its provisions, '• There are sundry other subjects that I might mention ; fur instance, the con version of our five per cent, loans into six per cent., by'which the rate of inter est was increased one per. cent, -upon a large portion of our public debt. That subject demands debate. It demands from the administration which is respon sible for It a statement, of the gfoqnds upon which it was proposed and imposed upon the people. There is, another, question which re quires attention—the expenditures Of oup, State Government. They have been in creased seVOral times over what they wore In former years hot very remote' from dur.present times, and thereisgood reason why the people idalt ports of our Commonwealth should demand of their State goverpmerit,o.retrench6eeht of the publia expenditures ; now that war has long ceased, that wealioulAreturn. again to the rate Of expenditure which prevailed before tha war’; that is, that In times of peace our fates of expenditure should bo peace rates Instead of war rates. ls still another important ques tion worthy of consideration, and that is the management and use of the publia funds of the State. In order to meet the interest upon our public indebtedness, it is necessary to raise every year a vast sum by pu.Uiip taxation-; it is necessary to nse ail the means and sources of re venue open to the public authorities to their ut most capacity; but pending their appli cation to the ordinary demands of public outlay, iuoludlng the payment of Interest upon the public debt, they are under the control of the State. Treasurer, and very large snpss of money are thus constantly, in his minds, or subject to bis direction, and it is well understood that these funds are made the subject of private profit; [that they are deposited in such Institu tions and in spoil manner aa wlll yleid a roWardto the pujillo. officer whc so.de-■ ,posits- them j audlt isaUeggd/that;from ;lb la sou too .there ,1s » Qejrppt, influence, exorcised upon our legislature, and gen erally upon the - notion ■of our—govern ment < 11 rat,- i|i the election' Af' the State Treasurer, by whom the public moneys are to be administered, and next/ fndl-' reotly In tbe maungement’-Cf the liCgis- Juture.iu other Matters' of. great pablia 1 mparlance..

Then the regular -and- healthful eoodi tlous may be resumed. ' Now, gentlemen, in addition to the CTARLtSIJB. PA., THURSDAy. SEPTEMBER % 1869. specific points whlohlhave mentioned, I call your attention again to the general consideration that bad Javrs, improper laws, are enacted In your Legislature and obtain'place upon the statute hook.of the Commonwealth. Howshall you reform that capital eyil, or -even If you dould suppose that it did 'not exist, how can you oorreot tha oommOnhellef of it which is itself a grcat misohlef and tends to the degradation of oovernment .and to the' lowerirfg of the tone of morals both in publlouudprivate life? How odn you correct tbat.as well as condemn’the other things.- evil in existence and evil in omen,' :J**‘.en I . ?J. One most important means of reaching'reform, I repeat; is to .place a new man at the head of your State government, who hiis no East connection with these abuses : who as no association with the men imho ipve committed them; who wilt owb no obligation in the future binding upon his Judgment or sympathies in favor of. the men. who are likely to commit them hereafter. The remedy Is to select Such a man .as Judge Packer for Governor [ap plause], striking thus at the main point where reform can be introduced. • It may bo said in reply to some of the . suggestions which I have made'.that the Governor.of the Commonwealth lal not for.what is wrong 11 . „ D i^ eot fo Dat, fo in past years. Wbv | not? Ic may bo.saicl that he is not solely responsible, that other men are to blame ■ 8 is a sort of responsibility ' Which is not to be ’decreased in the least J On.any cnelndiVidUal by its being shown that it is common to him. and toothers, r"? me eoustifuUon of our State it is pro r vlded that any bill or joint resolution f passed by the two houses of the Legisla fur® shali be presented to the Governor: if he shall approve it, he shall sign it! whereupon it shall become a law : if ho shall disapprove It, he shall return it to the house in which It originated, with his objections, and then only in case it i shall be repassed by a two-thirds vote in fS°u house of the Legislature shall it hava ■ p“ e fome of a law. Therefore you perceive that by one of theprovisions of our con stitution the Governor has what is equiv alent to a negative upon all public .meas ures deslgned.to have the force of laws unless two-thirds, of each house .shal agree to them- . This is well known • it is a matter of common knowledge. which-one of these measures of evil to which .I- have referred ■ has the present Governor of our Commonwealth vetoed ? On which one of them has he exercised this power? Notone. Which one of these abuses has he denounced by message to the two houses of the legisla ture, for ho la hound 1 , to communlcatc to those houses from lime to Mine his views upon public aliairs.iiiidto recommend to them such measures, as he may think necessary? Which one of them lias he made the subjefctof UlfExecutive com munioatiou;to either pouao of the Legislo ture? Not one,- - Therefore,in a peculiar sense, because ho lms neglected the exer cise of cohatlt.utUm4l powers which are clearly vested imhim, is he responsible for the whole b'ody umd mass' of evil'to which I havre alluded, and it will be Im possible, by.any jnst course of reasoning,; to .. r u I A BV< * mij “' from ‘hat tesponsiniity, with.its consequent odium; Tt rests up on him i it helongs'to'him; and ifn Just judgmcnthaprononncedbythopeople of this State, Jie iwlli thereforbo con demned, mnd .another; man, with appa rently a different character and with dif ferent objects, with ’a ,vigorous will and an integrUy. whidh Is invincible, will be put in his place.. Thus only can you ex peetthnt our State affairs will be put ‘for our fath ers In former times. Now, gentleinen, one thing seems very manifest to any reasonable observ er who has studied the course of politi cal affairs in jour governments, whether State or National, and that is, that it is necessary that political power should be divided between parties or interests in this country. It is only by reason of di vision, of one interest or of one party checking another; keeping watch .upon it, putting it.npon its good behavior, that we may expect that good add successful government will- obtain and be co'ntiuur ed amongst us,' This is tboexperience of ail free countries. Although we some times deprecate'the existence of parties among us, regret that pur free population are divided into hostile.organizations, if we will take wise observation of the past 'and consider rightly tbe popstltutiou of human nature itself,; we will see that this, condition of thlngS 'ls inseparable from free government,;and .mustexist wherever it obtains.'. Even under nion arcbical institutions,whore freedom has grown up and bos become strong, tho 1 pride of the nation and its guarantee of future power, as in Great Britain, you see the people divided into two opposite, parties contending against each other*, precisely ks we see in free America our political . parties contend against each! other; and there, and here, and every-.' where the truth stands manifest that there must be this system of cheek and; couuteivubeok, of notion and reaction, by parlies-and interests upon each other;) for if this state of things'shall not ex-; is t, one of two other states must-cither tho community must full into a condition ’ of stagnation and decay, the nation must decline in prosperity and power, or the 1 rule of n master must be accepted. If you will not have parties among you, acting and reacting noon each other, then you must accept national decline, or you must change your form of mint in substance and in . fact, and accept the Imperial principle, which I believe is thought qow’hy some few men in this ' country to he npaiiaoeafor ail our politi cal evils.

I have a few pf them in a paper lying before me. tho Mauch Chuuk -Ga zette. -In the 1 following charge if quotes from the Beaver JRadieatt 11 When oqr,armies, were defeated.' and pqr candidate, was hepring the smarts of defeat and wounds. With. forti tude, Packer, was keenly .watching, tno fluctuations of.the stool*' exchange? 1 and buying -. In. shares which • ’pur de feats depressed. . When victory rested on qur banners and Genry Was bleeding; on the.vlotorioua field over the body’pf bis poor soldier son,' Packer was 'adding o bis hoard by sales of'stocks which the 1 wounds of our bo roes had caused Jo ad vance in. value. He traded in patriotic bipod, and the patriots In whose blood he traded will neither support hls ambitlon. nor accept his blood mpney.” • { That isiolerablyjstjonjf to be quoted;ib a paper conducted by religious gentle men, .but I have read It to you as aspeci men of the malignity which we may ex pect in this canvass against a most unex ceptionable candidate. In tbe first place, the whole charge Is untrho os a distinct averment of. fact. Judge Packer has never been a speculator in Wall street, or in Third street, or in any other street “?. our own or In any other country. He did not dabble in government dfcocks in the manner suggested at any lime or un der any circumstances. The charges Is as foreign to the.domain of fant as! the mind of the writer is foreign to the do plain of gentlemen or to the region where truths are told. ' . About;the timeof Vicksburg and Qettva burg he was not watching tbb'stock market to speculate. I will tell you: ona fS 'Y bicll he was engaged about tnat time because the record is undoubt ed. News come to the region along, the I Lehigh river as itcameto. other .pans of pur country .that Pennsylvania was, In yaded; 'nrst, that our borders were. , threatened, and afterward that our, ter-' rltory was actually Invaded. A meeting was called at Mauoh Chunk, in the court nouse. Sundry gentlemen made speech es, very eloquent of course, and exhorted their neighbors to enlist and to assist o Jb e r s In doing so, There was no want of rhetoric; It flowed in abundance•' the Audience was fully supplied with it; But unfortunately no practical effect was bro duoed. Everybody thought It wau an excellent thing to repel invasion, to whin the enemy and protect our own 'State., and that It was a work of patriotism most laudable to contribute money or to volunteer; but nothing was done;!(ha enterprise with reference to which : the meeting had been called languished-- 1 hen it was, gentlemen, that our cubdi date for Governor rose In tbe crowd and eald: “ X hear very much said on this subject of raising volunteers for the de fence of our State, and various modes of doing It suggested. Now, X have one thing to propose, and It is this : any of the employees of the Lehigh Valley road who will go Into the public service, shall continue to.receive their pay dt, home and their places shall be kept for 1 them until they return.” [Applause.] That started the movement; -the; lire broke out; and about one hundred men • were raised In the small town of Mauoh. Chunk and Its immediate vicinity with in twenty-four hours, and. were speedily ou their way to the place .of conflict.— [Applause.] When the news of what was done at Mauch Chunk went over tne wires to tbe neighboring towns above and below, it fired up the whole valley and contributed (o prompt action in all. its towns. A little vigorous, timely ac tion from a man of action is sometimes better tbau a great deal said by a man of words- . ; , This is the way in which our oandi date for. Governor was employed ,at Mauch Chuuk about the time of Vicks burg and Gettysburg. He was not in Wall street, or anywhere else, specula ting upon tlie necessities of 'lmpoverish ed debtors, nor.attempting to accumulate ' .by illicit or doubtful practices, hls world ly estate. He was performing his dutv at Ins own home, and with an effect winch no other man 111 the Lehigh Val ley could have produced. . Xii this article which I have road he is' accused ofinvesliiui'-nmmor-Oi ints.been'made elsewhere, and .that is that he does not hold government bonds, stall, and has not held them. Now, gentlemen, I will give you a good rea- , son for this fact (if Jt be one,) which, in the failure of other objections, has been brought forward. Judge Packer has had hla means invested in improvements car ried on and extended by him through- a. long series of years, and it was hot con venient, it was not possible for him,' without, sacrificing great interests, (not his own merely, but those of others also,) to withdraw those. in vestments and to put them intb.the'form of public bonds or any other sort of bonds foreign to his own undertakings, When others wore doubtful of the future of the Lehigh Val ley and of the railroad enterprise which had been projected there, he beiug more hopeful and sagacious than other men, cams forward himself and undertook Us completion. Through years of labor and of ellbrt and of sacrifice be carried for ward tbe work of the construction of that great road, and years afterwards, when prosperity came to him (amt along with ito-prpsperity Jo the people of that section) property and means were largely increased, what could any one say but that here was a just reward of perseverance and fortitude ami hope fulness under ’all discouragements ami against all obstacles; that hero was a Just return for public-spirited conduct; a Just reward of high ability properly em ployed for public In connection with pri vate interests. During the war wiiut was the effect of his success V That road carried cheaper' coal to Philadelphia and to New York to supply the immense demands of the. government; it carried other articles of supply aud ot necessity to the govern ment at those points; it transported ybl , unteers and conscripts on their way to be organized into companies, and bat talions for tbe purposes of the war; and in.many other ways it contributed to the public cause to an extent and to a degree which an investment of money equal to the capital of that road in public stocks could not have effected, and could hard ly have begunto effect. Then, subsequently, ; what hiis been done 7. That gieat Improvement was ex tended into tUe .Wyoming Valley; : and more recently, a still further and :an im portant, extension of it has been carried ou towards central and western New York by the valley of the North Branch; and that, I believe, is to be brought in to use within a few weeka of the present time.

JLet me make you a bnef statement before ! speak direct)? to this point. , • f* In the.year 1720 a medical hospital was founded In London by a. man named , uuy. Its coustruotifan was commenced 1“ m StiF Heox P o “ded upon It about | s>lUU,ow, and at -his death, as he was .a man of great wealth he endowed it bot mauentiy to the extent of .about sliooo, uoo; aud it has remained, ftom that day to this among .the most celebrated and nse fuiofthe charitable Institutions of the A'oWAaVu'prtwjeummmui ui uae iduuudi ~ upon the. base of which are Inscribed the J following words: - ' “Thomas Gov, Sole Founder of this Hospital Ju his Llfe ■ , time.” There stands that institution yet, and there stands the statue in honor of its founder with this remarkable Inscription, the leading features of. which is that as this was accomplished by bimiu.his life time. He did not hug his wealth to the the lost moment and then give itaway in a. will, to be quarreled over in-the .courts between trustees aud.heirs or to be mis managed in the outset by' other hands.' This great benevolence Which tjic Al mighty put into his. heart sad inspired him to create was organized ami put into operation in his lifetime, while he was present to see it done and could rejoice iu tbo .accomplishment pf a great purpose, of a holy uud sacred design. ■ In the year 1845 a citizen of our country stood beside this statue and thoughtfully, lead the inscription. He was a man of wealth of the Slate of New York. He re turned home shortly afterwards, but the! recollection of that inscription tontiaued with him throughout all the remaining years of his life., In the yearlSSl, when, lie was become an aged man, and when, baring no children of his own, his boun ty could bp properly and" liberally exer cised upon general, purposes of benevo lence, he conceived the idea of establish*- lug upon the hanks ol thp Hudson, at the city of Poughkeepsie, a charitable institution which being completed during his lifetime, should remain In the long years of the future a monument of the founder’s thankfulness to Divlue Provi dence for the prosperity and blessings with which he has been favored. Gen- tteipeu, this man whose tome was Vassar. lived to eea bis college for the education of young women completed in about live years alter it was.begun, and' while slt tlug among the board of trustees iu June 1868, to read bis annual address, he was called to bis final account. Just' as bo concluded bib address, while the. words which expressed the joy of his heart over the consummation 'of their,great object were lingering upon bis 1 lipsjtijs spirit was called away to its eternal rdjibse. But before he left Ids place, among ineu he hud done all the good he could accomplish in the way which seemed most feasible to him. and which be desired and hoped might be blessed by Heaven; Another citizen of, New York, Mr. Cornell, established a university and himself superintended, the execution of his purpose. ;Hc,is alluded: to in the uu genereps article from,nrhich.l haveread,. in tlie uewkpa’per before me, Gentlemen, eacb of these' institutions ! wus oalled by the name of its . founder.: Guy’s hospital.in London bos .become . historical; it is well-known ill literature',. 1 The Vassal College and Cordell ‘Culver, jslty, In thC State of .New .York,, will be ponnanepUy .known by : those names; among the charitable Institutions of that | great State.
