the Republican.
CLJE4.fiFIELD, NOV. 3, 1853.
The Representative Question Once More.
An article full of wrath, appears in tho
Elk Advocate, iro.m a correspondent
signing hirnpolf IJ. A. P., and who informs
as that he was a member ofthc Convention
that nominated Jiidgo Arnold in 1852. YVo|
understand that a person by tho namo'of;
H. A Pattison, or Patterson, was a mem-!
lyir of that Convention. Doubtless hois
the man.
The substance of his article is, that tho
Jr. editor of tho Clearfield Republican isn
great ‘booby,’and that tho peopleofClear-!
field, generally, are a set of ninnies, fools, I
demagogues, (ungtics and holtors. These
epithets are applied freely, with proper
corresponding flourishes, including the use
of soveral strungely compounded words
not to he found in nny dictionary extunt.
■Wo would noi, however, have noticed
jhis extraordinary communication, had wo
;iol discovered a slight propensity in tho
.worthy editor of tho Elk Advocate to go
mad on the same subject. Tho ‘boiling,’!
the election of Caldwell, and tho defeat of
Arnold, seems to produco a decided etlbct
on even the editor. With his correspon
dent tho mnniu is perfectly fearful.
Let us renew the subject, and see who is
right and who is wrong.
The reason alleged Tor the re-nomina
tion of A. S. Arnold is, that it is customa
ry to send members two years in succes
sion. This wo admit to bo the usage in
most, of the districts of Iho Stato. Each'
v .district can, however, adopt its own usa-i
gos to suit its circumstances and various!
interests. I
'The question is not what has been adopt-'
ad'in other districts, but what has been
adopted in this district? In regard tothis
district we say, that not only, hus the two
2. years system not been adopted, but the
system of sending a member but odc year
ftom the different counties in rotation was
fuily established, ondlhnt too, by the some
.counties ond in a great part bv the same
conferees that now ruiso such n clumor in
favor of the two term system.
Clearfield, Elk and MKenn counties
have been in a district together since 1850.
fn that year, for tho first' time the confer
ees met. They chose to give Clearfield
the membor for tho first year. Wm. J.
Hemphill was nominated. He was elect
ed and served one pear for tho district.—
The next year, 1851, the member wos
given to Elk. Judge Gillis was' nomina
ted end elected.
; in the following yoar 1852, Elk county)
nghih brought forward tho name of Judge j
for nomination, alleging in his favor
custom generally prevalent of sending
metnbors two yearn in succession. Rut
jha M’Kean confereos said, no. They
claimed the one term eystom—said their
tyM hpd come and that the Hon. A. S.
Arnold was their map. True to their can
djdate they ba'cfce'cj tfioir claim with their

Assisted in his nomination. It was the act
of Elk and M’Kcan alone. Thus by their
Oct was theone term system fully ratified
and established. After this, would any ono
have supposed that Arnold’s friends would
t * ,e succeeding year to claim
fin*, hi* f.wo years—tho very thing they
had just denied to Gillia? ‘ Apd would it
have been supposed that the Elk’confer
ees would deny the force ofiheir own acts
pnd the acts of their friends of M’Kean,
and claim that tho two yen rs system was
ibfl practice of the district? Inconsistent
and unjust, and dishonest as it may appear,
|t la even so. '■ ?" ?

1850, Elk in 1851 and M’Kean in 1852,
it became under t|ie usuage thus adopted,
agdin the right of Clearfield in 1853. Apd
oven in getting the member she was not
getting as much as she had a right to ask.
Havjng much more than half the popula
tion ofthe Whole district!, she was entitled
f 6 an equal share of representation—be
cause population is tho basis of ropre'sentu
•ion m the State Legislature. Least of all
£«uid M’Kean havo a right to ask that
Arnold should be re-nominated. She had
IhO Senator, and with him alone had more
than her Besides,
Judge Arnold had been nominated by vir
tue of adopting tho one term system, and
by that system he was bound. Neither
lie nor his friends, could Honestly claim
for him a second term.
" 1t.i.9 alleged by H. A. P., that the un
deratanding at tho first Convention, was,
that after Clourfield had had tlib member

Such is n history of the re-nomination
of A. S. Arnold. Tho facts show it to
have been a nomination made by a com
bination of the representatives of the mi
nority against the rights of tho majority—
against agreements previously made—
against the established usage of the district
settled nnd adopted by their own acts and
votes; a nomination,too,consummated with
circumstances of such duplicity as showed
clearly that the actofs were conscious of
being in tho wrong nnd intended to deceive.
Like all other fraudulent acts it was bind-,
mg on nobody unless it be those whowpro
partnkors in tho fraud. '

citizens hold posts of jionor, profit and trust
