DR. BOWER ONCE MOKE:
The Democrat having put on a bold face
this fkli, pertinaciously undertook to deny
everything relating to Dr. Bower, and even
gave that gentleman as authority for these
denials. The lux however is holed at last,
and there is now no escape from these
charges, the proof beiug a little too strong
for such a game. Our readers will recol
lect that last week we laid down sundry
assertions, for the principal of which, in
consequence of the lkmiocnit's denial on
the professed authority of Dr. Bower, we
named John Morrison. Esq., of Newton
Hamilton, as a witness. This we did with
out consulting him, and it may also be
proper to say that Mr. Morrison had no
agency originally in furnishing us with the
facts. Now hear him, voters of Mifflin
ounty, and judge lor yourselves of the
truth or falsehood of the charges we pre
ferred against the candidate of the patent
d em'*-racy:
■ : v HAMILTON, October 3d, 1867.
d Sir —Seeing a communication in
te of the Ist October in which my
name was used to establish the statements
made heretofore, charging Dr. Bower with
having received a letter interrogating him on
h: c course respecting the appropriation of
three millions to the Sunbury <fc Brie R. It.,
I wish to make a correct statement of the
matter as it transpired. Happening to be in
- o Post Office at the time that Dr. C. Bower
i.ed the letter speken of in the Gazette,
after the Doctor had read the said letter, he
seemed to be somewhat excited and spoke out
sharply, saying, "CONFOUND TIIE THING,
I no NOT KNOW WU AT PEOPLE MEAN BY INTEB
ACGATING ME respecting my course, as every
body kuows my course, or ought to know it,
as I stand committed already." Then I said
to die Doctor, " I guess not." " Yes. I am,"
said the Doctor, " I committed mymlfat Har
if bury."
Yours, respectfully, <fcc.,
JOHN MORRISON,
r we understand does not deny
thai .a.a scene took place, the only point
of difference between him and Esq. Morri
son being that the latter avers the Dr. - aid
his say on a letter containing just such in
terrogatories as we have repeatedly said he
kail received, while the Dr. contends it was
one cautioning him that such interrogato
ries would be put. Either horn we should
think is somewhat of a dilemma. If a
friendly letter, cautioning him that certain
things would be done, had the effect of
raising the I)r. so as to make him give ut
terance to scolding expressions at the dear
people, what kind of an eruption would be
produced by the other ? The whole thing
; roves pretty conclusively that the wisest
and safest thing the taxpayers of Mifflin
can do, will be to elect a faithful and tried
representative in the person of John Pur
cell, Esq. With him their interests are
safe.

THE ELECTION.
On Tuesday next the voters of this
county, in conjunction with the other coun
ties in the State, will be called upon to de
| cide who shall be Governor of Pennsylva
nia for the ensuing three years. Mr.
■ PACKER, the so-called democratic candi
! date, has been an aspirant for this office
for some time, and may properly be set down
. as the candidate of the canal democracy,
having gone through all the gradations
from mud boss to supervisor. In his po-
I litical history it is somewhat remarkable
| that in his own district, which is strongly
, democratic, lie has been more than once
j defeated for offices to which he had been
nominated by party tactics, and was we be
lieve in no one instance re-elected to any
station where the vote depended on his
| own locality. DAVID WILMOT is the
American Republican nominee, and at once
represents the great principles which ought
to find a place in the heart of every friend
of liberty and Americanism. I "nlike his op
ponent, his friends and neighbors through
out Bradford, Tioga, and other counties,
have always given him an overwhelming
support, and all accounts from there agree
that tlicy will on Tuesday next give him
one of the most astounding majorities ever
given to any political candidate where a
contest existed. There is a third candidate
in the field—a Philadelphia lawyer named
Isaac Hazlehurst—who has no hope of
even obtaining a respectable vote, but who
is kept in the field by 11. Beast Swoope,
John P. the Liar, and Joseph R. the mon
key, for the pnqxse of defeating Wilmot,
just as these same mountebanks defeated
Fillmore and Fremont last fall. How any
real friend of Americanism, knowing that
such will be the result should any number
of them vote for Hazlehurst, can wilfullv
east a firebrand into the ranks of the oppo
sition to patent democracy, which must re
sult to the injury of American principles
by strengthening tlnse who are the most
bitter opponents of those principles, is
more than we can conceive. The result in
New York in 1544, when a mere handful
of Abolitionists under the lead of Birney
defeated the immortal Henry ('lay for the
Presidency, and thus entailed slavery on
the vast territories to the south and west.
was a political lesson that ought to lutve
prevented all future movements jeopardi
zing the success of great principles—for
from that day to this abolitionism in New
York lias been on the decline—yet last
year a handful of straightoute, as they
called themselves, elected Buchanan Pres
ident by throwing their votes away in op
position to a union ticket with their own
candidate on it. and now propose to do the
same thing by electing Packer, who has
more than once denounced Americanism
as everything base and mean, and defeating
Wilmot, who endorses their leading princi
ples ! In thus county we feel certain that
if there are any still adhering to Ilazle
hurst under the mistaken idea that they
are thereby advancing their principles, they
need but know the character of the politi
cal swindlers and moral lepers who are at
the head of this organization in Philadel
phia, and they would shun them as they
would a nest of counterfeiters.
The county ticket has been perhajs as
much discussed as there is any need, and
the people generally understanding the
character and qualifications of the candi
dates quite as well as we eould tell them,
they will v presume vote under?tandingly.
From Mr. Purcell down to Mr. Adams we
invite scrutiny and comparison, havintr no
fears that ours will suffer by such a course.
1 'ureel! being absent at Harris
burg, it i- s to b hoped that his friends
throughout the county will be more active
than usual iu his supjort. Let everv read
er of the Gazette go and vote, and see that
his neighbors around him will do the same:
Our ticket CAN BE ELECTED, if the proper
exertion is used, from head to foot, and no
mistake,
DR. BOWER RAILROADING.
Here and in other parts of the county
some patent democrats are electioneering
for Dr. Bower on the ground of his being
an opponent of the Railroad Company's
views, and at the same time hold up Mr.
Purcell as the company's friend. The
dear people" can judge how Dr. Bower
stands by the fact that SIX BOWER
MEN, part of a floating gang from Juniata
county temporarily at work in the deep
cut above Newton Hamilton, were assessed
in that borough on Friday evening last.
These men all belong to Juniata county,
where the head quarters of this floating
gang are. and where, if they vote at all,
they ought to vote. N. Hamilton is one
of the smallest districts iu the county, and
six such votes in their borough election
next spring might defeat the wishes of a
majority of the resident voters in their se
lection of borough officers. How would
the citizens of that place, or any other, like
such an illustration by residents of another
county ?
The Legislature
Assembled at Harrisburg on Tuesday iu
pursuance of the Governor's proclamation,
but one Senator and seven members of the
House being absent. The old officers hav
ing taken their seats, and committees ap
pointed to wait on the Governor, the fol
lowing message was presented:
EXECUTIVE CHAMBER, )
HARRISBURG, October 6, 1857. J
To the Senate and House of Representatives of
ike Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, in Gen
eral Assembly met:
GENTLEMEN :—By virtue of the power con
ferred on me by the Constitution, I have
deemed it my imperative duty to convene the
General Assembly at this time. An " extra
ordinary occasion" for so doing, as contem
plated by the Constitution, has arisen, and
accordingly you have been called together to
take into consideration, and adopt such mea
sures of relief, as the present exigency may
seem in your wisdom to demand. A sudden
and severe financial revulsion lias occurred,
inducing a of specie payments by
the banks of this Commonwealth, and in some
of our sister States. This result, however
much to be regretted and deplored, was una- j
voidable, having become, from the operatin
of causes, unnecessary now to be enumerated,
a stern necessity. Thus circumstanced, the
community are suffering from the want of a
currency, the destruction of confidence, and
the numerous evils consequent on financial
embarrassment. Every department of indus
try has felt and been disastrously atfected by
the sheck. Trade and commerce have been '
paralyzed. The merchant, the manufacturer !
and the mechanic have seen their bright pros
pects suddenly blasted, and mauy have been
involved in a ruin which no ordinary sagacity
or foresight could avert. Many of our fur
naces, rolling mills and factories have been
closed. Extensive and valuable coal opera
tions have been suspended or abandoned, and
thousands ef workmen are out of employ
ment, oppressed with doubt and anxiety, and j
alarmed with the gloomy apprehensions of
the future.
It is not my intention to discuss in this
communication, the causes of the present fi
nancial difficulties and commercial embar
rassment. The evil is upon us. Troubles
! surround us; and to relieve the community,
I restore confidence, and bring back the pros
frity lately enjoyed, and which it is hoped
is but temporarily interrupted, prompt and
harmonious action, wise and generous legis
lation will be required.
The present exigency requires and every
| consideration of present and future interest
to the Commonwealth and people would seem
| to demand that the banks should be released
| from the penalties and forfeitures incurred by
a suspension of specie payments: and that
such suspension should be authorized for such
reasonable period as will enable them safely
to resume tbe payment of their liabilities in
specie.
To force the banks into a too early liqui
dation would compel them to require imme
j diate payment from their debtors, and would
i entail upon the community the miseries of
widespread bankruptcy and ruin ; while on
the other hand, an unreasonable extension of
the unuatural state of suspension would great
ly increase the evils of an irredeemable paper
currency. The resumption of specie pay
ments should not be postponed longer than
j is clearly necessary ,*aud the best interests of
! the community may require.
The general embarrassment and depression
of trade and commerce, and the consequent
i depreciation of the value of real and personal
property, if permitted to continue, will seri
' ously affect the revenues of the Cuminon
; wealth. The credit of the State, nuw s.. well
sustained, and so honorable to f r character,
j may be endangered, not by >y inability to
t pay, but from tbe difficulty, if not the iinpos
| sibiiity, of procuring a medium in which
1 payment can be mads. The faith of tbe State
must be preserved intact.
I therefore recommend that the Banks
which may bo relieved from the penalties im
posed upon suspension by existing laws, shall
be required to make a satisfactory arrange
ment with the State Treasurer, by which lie
will be enabled to convert the current funds
in the Treasury, and balances standing to his
credit in any of the solvent banks of the Com
monwealth, into specie, as soon as the same
V>ba!l become necessary f.r the payment of the
; interest on the funded debt.
And as a further relief to the community,
and as a condition of the release of the pen
alties and forfeitures incurred, it is respect
fully recommended that the solvent banks of
the Commonwealth, which paid specie for all
their liabilities immediately prior to their late
general suspension, be required, under such
limitations and restrictions as may be deemed
expedient, to receive tbe notes of each other,
continuing solvent, at par in payment of all
debts due or to become due to them respec
tively, during their suspension ; tbe bank or
bauks resuming specie payments to be reliev
ed from this condition.
For the relief of debtors, provision should
be made for an extension of the time in
which execution on judgments may .->aue; and
of the period now provided by law for the
stay of execution.
The issue of Relief or Bank Notes of a less
denomination than five dollars should not now
be authorized, nor should the Banks during
suspension be permitted to declare dividends
exceeding six per cent, per annum.
The moniei institutions of the Comroon
monweahh are, it is believed, generally in a
sound and solvent condition ; and if the mea
sures suggested, be adopted, the banks will
be enabled to meet all their liabilities —sup-
ply a currency adequate to the demands of
legitimate trade and the ordinary business of
life—regain public confidence—aid ana revive
every branch of industry—and save their
creditors and the community from the bank
ruptcy and ruin, inevitably consequent on the
intense pressure of the present financial crisis.
The questions submitted for your determi
nation are important and momentous. They
rise far above ail partiian ar political consid
erations or calculations. A suffering comma
munity, in this, the hour of their anxiety aod
peril, expect at your hands prompt and pat
riotic action for their relief.
Influenced by no other consideration than
the public good, prompted by no other than
honest and honorable convictions of public
and private djty, may the result of your de
liberations meet the expectations, relieve the
wants and harmonize with the true interests
of the people. JAMES POLI/JOK.
Mr. Gildm offered the following resolu
tions, which were read ft first and second
time, and came up fur consideration on
third reading:
Resolved, That it is due to the people of the
Commonwealth, that they and their represen
tatives should know the condition of the bunks
of the State, before proceeding to legislate on
the recent suspension.
Resolved, That the banks of the Coiumou
wealth be required to exhibit at once to the
Governor, to be transmitted to the Legislature,
their condition, the exhibit to be in such de
tail as shall show the amount of their depos
its, specie circulation, and the character of
the securities, on which they have been lend- j
ing money, that the Legislature may know
the amounts loaned for legitimate business,
and the amounts loaned for mere speculative j
purpose.
i The resolutions gave rise to some debate,
! during which a wide diversity of sentiment
was exhibited among the members. Ad
journed.
In the Senate, a number of bills were
reported relative to banks, railroad and
| navigation company debts, &c.
Mr. Straub read a bill, entitled " An Act
I to extend relief to the people j" which was
j read. The bill prohibits the collection of
debts by the Banks from the people, du
ring the suspension of specie payments, and
! curiously enough a number of the hard de
mocracy, as will be seen below, voted against
printing the same number of copies that
had been ordered in several cases before.
Mr. Killiuger moved that one thousand
copies be printed. Not agreed to—yeas
12, nays 19, as follows:
\ EAS —Messrs. Fetter, Gregg, Ingram, Kil
linger, Myer, filers, Shuman, Steele,
Straub, Taggart, Welsh and Wright—l2.
NAYS —Messrs. Brewer. Browne, Coffey,
Cressweli, Ely, Evans, Flenniken, Frazer,
Gazzam, Harris, Jordan, Knox, Laubach,
Lewie, Scsfield, Souther, Walton, Wilkins
aud Finney, Sjjeaker —l9.
\\ hat the course of the Legislature will
be, it is difficult to determine. So many
views are expressed, and political dema
gogues in the city and elsewhere being al
ready engaged in making capital out of the
general distress by arraying the poor against
the rich—labor against capital—and get
ting up the stale cry of an exclusive specie
currency—that it is doubtful whether the
Legislature will be able to agree on any
definite matter. For our part, should the
Philadelphia representatives carry out at
Harrisburg any such views as were expres
sed in an inflammatory call for a locofoco j
meeting on Monday evening last in Phila- |
delphia, we hope Messrs. Sellers and Pur- ;
cell will at once meet them on their own ;
ground. If l*h iladelph in wants no re/of

The ibulmouthed libeller and unprinei- j
pled liar who controls the columns of the j
Philadelphia Daily News, probably con- j
scious that the brand of (,'ain is still upon
him, and that his attempt to defame others
is reacting on himself and associate hounds,
has an article on the Ford list about every
other day, in whieh some new palliation is
made for its concoction and publication.—
Some weeks ago the News said it was in
the hand icriting of Gov. Ford, now it was
off to its delectable witness, and there
is no telling how it will he nest week. Ja- :
e<ib Sanders swore truly before the Bribery
Committee a few years ago that Sanderson's
- °
memory was bad. It is by such insane
ravings, by such strychnine-whiskey asser
tions, that this cowardly wretcli expects to
sustain his career of infamy, began fifteen
years ago by playing traitor to the whigs
of Lebanon—not improved by his doings .
in the Legislature, particularly in that li- !
brnry business —and certainly not any bet- i
ter in his present residence. The assertion
of Ford that he furnished NO SUCH j
and pronouncing the whole band a pack of
lying scoundrels, it seems is not sufficient
for this choice spirit, who affects to believe
that it don't mean what it says, and forth- i
with he recalls his witness from the New
York Herald, a paper this same Daily
News has Lcen preaching up for years as
one of the most corrupt and infamous
sheets ever published. As birds of a
feather will flock together, of course the
agent of such a paper would he the very
one to whom application would be made by
Beast Swoope & Co. when they had any
dirty work to do, and hence a list of papers
as " bought,"' three-fourths of which by
their course, prove the affidavit and the
drunken assertions of Hwoope, Sanderson
and Flanagan to be lies coined by whole
sale. The course of the Gazette, the Al
toona Tribune, Adams Sentinel, and the
Muncy Luminary (the latter a straightout
paper to the day of election) and probably
others on the list, all prove this, and in
corroboration, we may state that we now
feel pretty well satisfied that the affidavit
of Woodward is a piece of LOW-LIFED
VILLAINY so far as the Lewis town Ga
zette is concerned. It may yet turn out
that more will grow from this infamous
transaction than the swindlers bargained
fur, and if so, the Penitentiary may get in
mates that ought to have boon there long

years since, and now allows liiw a salary of

This is another of disadvantages of slavery,
aud when in the course of luuofoco progress
white slavery will bo introduced into the
