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. BaSfQuite a commotion was created last week by the arrest of several individuals for killing an ox at the foot of Jack's mountain *ome of them are it is said also connected with the gang that have b~ea committing depredations 011 spring houses, fic. in Ferguson's valley. 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 COUNTRY DOES NOT. 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 ag°- A Paitor (HvnrA by hi The Rev. Kully Lowe. pastor of tho African Church in Augosta, Ueqrgia, was originally a slave, but Ins congregation bought hitu some years since, and now allows liiw a salary of front SHUU to 1000 a year, so that he is their snrvoot in a pecuniary, us well as a spiritual sense. This is another of disadvantages of slavery, aud when in the course of luuofoco progress white slavery will bo introduced into the north, congregations can buy their pastors, and whenever they won't preach to their lik ing sell them. TEACHERS' ASSOCIATIOM. — At a rneet of die Lewistown Teachers' Association on Saturday last the following officers were chosen for the ensuing year: President, Geo. W. Freseda ; Vice President, John M. Stoner; Secretary, Miss Fannie McEw en; Treasurer, Miss Josephine Carothers. A committee consisting of Miss Jane A. Kerr, Miss Sarah A. Dunahoe and John 31. Stouer, was appointed to arrange the studies and select the teachers for the win ter school term. #®u.A lady in Ivanas writes to the Bos ton Traveller : # " The third finger of my right hand was bitten by a rattlesnake two weeks ago to-day. As you perceive, it has not proved fatal, thanks to a pint and a half of raw whiskey, salt and egg poulti ces, besides the charming and doctoring of * Big Medicine,' the Kansas Indian Escu lapius, who staid with me night aud day through the worst of it, soothing me with his wild and pleasing Indian lullabies, and keeping oft' the flies with his magic wand —a wild goose'swing. Hoes it not seem romantic to be tended like a baby by a great six-foot Indian, beads, earrings, amu lets, and all ? But I am over the worst now, though I have a bad finger, rendering my right arm about useless." the kind expressions of several of our cotemporaries, who scout the idea of our having received the magnificent sum awarded to us by the New York and Philadelphia "con- ' spirators," we are grateful, and can assure them that their conclusions are just.
