w. H. tRWIN.
As this gentleman has been , placed
in nomination for Congress, by a union
of the Conferees from the . Bevel,'
counties comprising this district,. our
readeis will be interested to know
what manner of man he is.
The letter, read to the cenferaes- 7 "
and publishes} iq another olluinn,
states his position in brief. The fol•
lowing editorial of the Tacoming
Gazette, will aid tho• realgri in this
inquiry :
We have had an abundance of Black
Republican Oratorypo t ut out
inidst lately. fieoly eyerY niglt dorsi o
router of AbolitionisM occupies the
stand - in the Court Rouse. Gen. Ir• .
win who is, or is to be, the-K. N. and
B. R. candidate for Congress from this
aistrict, gave us a: specimen of . his
powers in that line one evening last
week. 'lle p`reeends to bo a Fillmore
man, but declared' with' great relict ! :
mence his readiness to sacrifice;-Fill
more and his own right hand to hoot;
for the sake of fusion in favor of rre
tnont. He ignores. all platfbrma: and
says the only issue in the defeat of
Buchanan. He is the official agent of
the Know :Nothing party, travelling.
through the state to effect any kind. of
a fusion that will bring about that re
dolt. The fierce energy with rbiCh be
rolled out his Abolitionism -showed
the' hollowness of his pretendeffriehd
ship for Filhnore. There
on
riot a
word in his tyhole speech on the tilave
ry question that Would not apply
against Fillmore with the - same force
that it would against* Eluchttuin. •
We mustcaution our readers against
relying entirely on the above, as the
Gazette, like the other Buchanan
press, pays no regard to truth' when
speaking of an opponent. General
Irwin is no abolitionist, and has never
talked it, in Williamsport or elsewhere.
• Ho floes not ignore all platform,
and he does not say that the only Issue
is the defeat of Beehautut. But
doss say, that the repeal of the Mis
