True Jtinublioin, published al New
OHohur, in wliicli llio editor gives a
detailed Account of thfl lilo anu limes
of a Carpet bittf (iovernor. In lite
snmo number wo find the prospectus
of (he New York Tribune, nnd Hint is
sufficient to cstublitdi tlio character ol
tho Jorunnl in qttstion. Itislhero-
foro evident Unit neither belong to lite
Democratic pcntuniion, and thai what
is said cannot ho palincu on us a -cop
neihead lie." Read and reflect.
Having shown in our previous issue
that II. C. Warmolh, tho present Gov
ernor of Louisiana, was indicted for
stealing twenly ono thousand dollars
from tho V. S. (Jovernmctit ; and Audi
tor icklifi'i! hnving shown by charges
airttitist Warmolh, that ho has actual-
Iv rolibed tho Louisiana Treasury of
over tight hundred thousand dtdlnr,
as well us fraudulently made hundreds
of thousands moro by bribery and cor
rtintion. from bills lie hns sii'iicd, and
ollices bo bus piven away, or rather
sold: all of which charge niut bo
true, as Warmolh does nol dare allow
an investigation of them ; wo might
hero rest our Inbors, contenting our-
iiiIvki vritli lim eonviction that such
crimes are enough to settle, tho social i
status, und personal character of any
man.
Rut seeing how blindly infatuated
many people aro with this man, nnd
bow hard it is for tho rospcctublo por
tion of our peoplo lo reulir.o bis real
character, wo propose to go still furlh
cr, and show ibis fellow's origin and
entire history previous lo Ihesn cx
ploils in our midst.
We then make the following charges
agninsl bis personal charueler, und
dura him to jiut us lo documentary
and other proof. And wo here remind
him, that these charges arc preferred
before a higher tribunal than tho Leg
islature, which is, tho peoplo of Louis
iana. Here, his parked commuted
will not avail him. Let him f'uco Ihc
music, or be branded, as bo is, a thief
of the first order.
Wo can prove by tho testimony of
un cyo witness, nnd ono who is now a
resident of this city, as well as by oth
er witnesses residing in Indiana and
Illinois and Missouri, and by tho Ro
cords of tho Ciiminal Courts of Indi
n n it, tho following facts:
In tho year 1 V:1 or 4, J. C. War-
moth, tho father of H. C. Warmolh,
tho present Governor of Louisiana,!
willi all his family, including his two
sous, ono of whom is tho present (iov
ernor of Louisiana, together with the
lamilies of ono ltuwer, ono Reeder,
and ono John 11. Chirk, wero run out
of Pin k County, Indiana, by hands of
Regulator, under an authorization
from (iovernor Wright of Indiana.
That said J. C. Wiirtniith and bis two
sons, ono of whom was tho present
II. C. Warmolh, Governor of Louisi
ana, were members of organized bands
of 7"i? 'I'ltiivct; nnil for stealing
horses in Indiana nnd Illinois, they
and their companions in crime were
summarily expelled from thoso Slates.
Thaltho Sheriff ol crmilllotH ounly
at that timo conveyed tho brother of
" '"" . . ..
II. C. Warmolh to tho Penitentiary
of Indiana, r ho had been convicted ol
hore ftealintr.
That the in esent Governor of Louis
iana, on account of bis youth, was
Kiitiri-il n iiriist-oMtioii. hut. was driven
out of tho Stale, with his father and
tho rest of his family.
That the Warmolh aro a family of
notorious thieves, and as such, wero u
terror to the wholo section of country
in which they resided.
That after being drived out of Imli -
, - ,, , ,
i niiu and Illinois, Hie said J. I,
War-
moth, llio father ol II (". Wiir'nolh,
tho present Governor nf Louisiana, re
moved lo Misnonri, and eventually

establish still moro conclusively his
claims to honnty, that ho so brazenly
flaunts in tho face of our people.
During bis wholo youth, ho was

Wbilo engaged in tho printing ollieo

kicked him out of bis oflico. This
gentleman visited this city aoino

When tho war of tho Rebellion

lines in St. Louis, und soon becamo a
rampant unionist.
Ho then wont up into one of tho up
per counties of Missouri, und helped to
raise a Jlegimet.t of Colored Troops,
gotling himself elected Coloncd, from
which position he was reduced to tho
ranks of Lieut. Colonel.
After entering tho redcral army, ho

healthy region for persons of bis stripe,
bo got himself transferred to tho De
portment of Louisiana, and assigned
to duty on tho staff of Gen'l Ranks.
Hero he figured as Provost Judge,
in coiiscquenco of his pretended smat
tering of law, and his record in that
position was one of infamous cruelty
to colored people, ami unblushing ras
cality. If the colored peoplo who now so
idolize him only knew his history at
(hut lime, and how bo treated colored
peoplo, refusing to allow thorn to tes
tify againsl white peoplo in bis court ;
separating parties from their children
sending back their children into slav
ery, nnd their parties homo with brok
en hearts; and numerous other simi
lar outrages, they would hardly trust
their lives nnd hopes lo liia remorso-
less bunds, as they arc now doing.
Ilia conduct during lhat timo was
so notorious for injustico nnd corrup
tion, that oven General Runkn, us free
and easy as ho wus, could nol overlook
it, and to rcmovo him. Thcro nro
numerous citizens hero to day, who
can testify as to Ibis deloctnhlo judge's
character and conduct dm ing his reign
as Provost J udgo.
(Jilting himself appointed as Snociul
Treasury Aitetit for Texas, this Autiaf
official there entered upon a course of
speculation, bribery anJ corruption,
that eventuated in l.is being indicted
by llio Grand Jury of tho I'nilcd

against him fur stealing twenty onr

His courso in Texas was most no

denunciation of their conduct in no

N'.itv that ho has got into odieo and
power hero, ho is gathering around
liim nil llio thieves and scoundrel thai
wero his companions nnd assistants in
his many and various depredations in
tho various Stales bo has lived in.
With tho ndvico nnd counsel of theso
men, ho is connecting ru-.h-.imes of plun
der upon Louisiuna that will totally
all cclinso his former exploits.
Placing theso men into position nnd
power in every section of tho Stale,
and in tho city, ho is preparing for
Louisiuna a fiituro terriblo to contem
plate. Knowing this man ns well us wo do,
uo feel it to be our duty lo open tho
. ves of our iiponlo to tho falo that
awaits them, if bo is allowed to carry
nut his schemes.
Peoplo of Louisiana, every word wo
have written of Ihis man is true j nye,
ninl Hie hall has nol yet been lold.
Wo havo shown you enough, though,
to put you on your guard. Wulch
this man, nnd see w bat lie is doing
l.ook ut tho men with whom ho has
surrounded himself. See, under his
administration, what deeds of violence
and rascality aro perpetrated, and the
perpetrators go unpunished.
Is it nny wonder that thieve con
grcgato hero from nil pari of the
uitintry to ply their vocation? It i
known throughout tho whole North
nnd West that this man, who belongs
to one of tho most notorious families
that ever figured in tho annuls of
rrime, is nt tlio head of our Stato gov
ernment nnd thai ho is tho patron of
all thieves and scoundrels.
Look at the Mat. llogan case. If
that man would lull all lie knows, he
would slarllo till community. Why
does not the Chief of Polico find out
theso cases? If ho does not, why

Yo have already made this articlo

again.
Rut let us say to the peoplo of
Louisiana, white nnd colored, look to
your danger. Wo now warn you lhat
II. C. Warinoth is tho most danger
ous man that over entered Louisiana.
Lot him go on ns ho has begun. Give

Home, Sweet Home.
Though the trito old song, "Homo
Sweet Home," has bcon sung within
the circlo of every household, yet how
few persons of nil who have beard its
sweet strains know who was the au
thor of thoso beautiful words:
"'Mid jileasure arid palaces, though we may
niatn,
Be it eit-r so bumble, there is no place like
hume.''
it has perhaps never occurred to
llio mind of any one unacquainted
with tho circumstances, that the
writer of a song liicli has found an
echo in so many hearts, could bo oth
er than ono who bad experienced an
tho pleasures of a happy home; but
aud is tho reflection, it is nevertheless
truo, that John Howard Payna, tho
author of "Homo, Sweet Home," Ih'o
ho has contributed to tho happiness
of many homes, never hud a home of
his own.
Wo clip tho articlo bolow, sugges
ting thut a monument bo erected to
tho memory of l'nyno, and give it a
place in our columns, believing that
il will find a response in tho hearts of
our reader :
The Acthob or "Swr.r.T Home."
As 1 sit in my garret here in Wash
ington, watching the courso of great
men, and tho destinies of parlies, I
meet often with strungo contradic
tions in this eventful lilo. Tho most
remarkable was that of John Howaid
Payne, author of "Sweet Homo." 1
knew him personally. Ho occupied
tho rooms under mo for somo tunc,
and his conversation was so captiva
ting that I often spout wholo days in
his apartment. Do was an applicant
lor ollieo nt mat iimo consul at j u
nis from which ho had been removed.
What a snd thing it was to seo the
poet subjoclcd lo ull llio humiliutior.i
of oflico seeking ! Of an evening wo
would walk ulonrr tho street. Once
in a while wo would see somo family
circle so happy, and forming so bcuu-
tiful a group thut wo would stop, and
thon pass silently on.
On such occasions ho would irive a
history of his wanderings, bis trials,
and all the cares incident to bis sen
sitive nature and poverty. ''How of
ten," said be onco, "have 1 been in
tho hearts of Paris, llcrlin, and Lon
don, or somo other city, and heard
persons singing, or tho organ playing,
Sweet Home,' without a shilling to
buy tho next meal, or a placo to lay
my head. Tho world literally sung
my song, until every benrt is familhur
with its melody, let 1 hnvo been a
wanderer from my boyhood. My
country hns turned mo ruthlessly
from ollieo ; and in my old ago I havo
to submit lo humiliation for bread."
Thus ho would complain of his hap
less lot. His only wish was to dio in
a foreign land, "nil lo bo buried by
strangers, nnd to sleep in obscurity.
1 met him ono day looking unusu
ally sad ; "Havo you got your con
sulate !"' said I.
"Yes, nnd I leavo in a week for Tu
nis ; 1 shall never return."
Tho Inst expression was not a po,
liticnl faith. Far from it. Poor
Pay no ! his w ish was realized ; ho
died at Tunis. Whether his remains
have been brought to this country 1
know not. They should bp, nnd if
nono others would doit, let the homo

When Win. p. Pucker was only
seven years old his father died, leav.

thia sliPlcb; and John P., n merchant
of I'lcmington, Clinton co., Pa., as they
arrived at tho tusk of assisting their
mother in maintaining llio family, and
cheerfully sustained whotovor hard
ships their situation imposed, receiv
ing ul tho same time such education
as tho limited facilities of the Country
schools of that timo a Horded.
In January, isuo, William, then in
hi thirteenth year, entered tho oflico
ofSam'l J. Packer, a kinsman of his,
who published a newpaper at Sunbury
entitled tho Futdie Jmuirer, engaging
himself as an npprenlico. The paper
was discontinued in tho 'full of that
year, and he returned to Centre CO.,
and completed his apprenticeship in
tho oflico; of the Jt.Ucfonte Fatriot,
then under tho control of Henry Tel
Tikiu, who subsequently became a dis
tinguished member of the State Leg
islature and was Deputy Secretury of
the Commonwealth under Governor
Shunk. At tho meeting of the Legis
lature in December, ISJo, lie. came to
Huri isbiirg and worked as a journey
man printer in the olliee of the J"'fnn
fiflcania Intctligr.necr, of which Hon.
Simon Cameron was at thut timo one
of Ihe proprietors. Here he remained
till 1S27, when he went to Williams
port and entered his name as a stu
dent ut law in tho oflico of Joseph A,
Anthony. Ho never applied for ad
mission to the bar, yet ihe knowlcdgo
thus acquired of ihe rudiments of the
common law was of grout valuo to him
in the public stations be subsequently
tilled, '
In the full of 127 ho purchased all
interest in the Lycoming Gazette, and
in 1Hi'.l ho becamo its solo proprietor.
On tho 24th of December in this year
he wus married to Mary W. Vandor-
belt, daughter of Peter Vandcrbelt,
Esq , a highly respected citizen of
Williumsporl, by whom be has sinco
had ten children, six of whom uro lir-
tng. Ilis connection with tho Gazette
continued till IX'iO, when ho left it in
a floiirishingcondilion and with a wido
influence, aud united himself witli
Hcnjiimin Purko nnd O. Rarrett in es
tablishing The Keystone nt Harrrid
btirg, a paper which commanded tho
conlidenco und support of tho Demo
cratic parly of tho Stato. Tho enter
prise wus successful, nnd tho firm of
Packer, Rarrett A Parko continued
till IsJI, when Mr. Packer retired
from it.
In February, Kj9, Mr. Packer, who
had contributed largely to the election
of David R. Porter us Governor tho
previous year, was appointed by him
ono of tho three Canal Commissioners
of tho Stato. Al tho commencement
of Gov. Porter's second term, in iSi ',
ho was appointed Auditor General,
and discharged tho duties of that of
lico till Jsl.'i. In ls-jt) ,o wus duly
elected a member of tho Houso of
Representatives from tho district com
posed of the counties of Lycoming,
Clinton and Totter, but by a mistake
in carrying out tho returns of Portor
township, Clinton county, bis oppon
ent w-ns rotnriied as elected, nnd ac
tually served tho wholo session beforo
the error wus discovered. The suc
ceeding year, being again a candidate,
lie was elected by u majority of cvor
fifteen hundred.
Although this was tho first appear-
nnco ns a member of tho legislative
body, his reputation was such that ho
was chosen to presido over tho House
as its Speaker, llo was airain cleclod
in 184-i by an increased majority, nl
Ihotigh tho political tido ran heavily
against bis purt3" that year. There
"it a tio in tho House, and there
might havo been a protracted struggle
for tho Speakership if Mr. Packer bad
not been a member. Hut in fitness
for Ihe position lie towered so fur above
all tho rest that the chair was at once
given to him. How worthy he was
of this distinction a singlo fact will
show. No dec ision of his ever was
reversed by tho Houso. Only onco
wai an appeal from his decision taken;
and in that instance niter ho had
stated his reasons, tho member who
took the appeal voted to sustain tho
decision of tho chair, ns did tho wholo
II ou so.
In 1S1!) Mr. Pucker wns elected to
the State Senate from the district com

Thcro were two other candidates in
