Why Should Dr. Ilowerbe Kc-electcd!
We hope every taxpayer in Mifflin coun
ty will this fall ask himself the question
why he should vote for Dr. Bower to rep
resent Mifflin county in the next legisla
ture ? We have given substantial reasons
why he should not be re-elected, by show
ing that his votes on most of the impor
tant questions up before that body were
against the wishes and interests of a major
ity of the people, and thus far no defence
of his inconsistencies has been attempted,
but we have been met with the puerile cry
that we are assailing his private character,
and that the Dr. is a democrat! Such rca-
soiling in years gone by was potent enough
to cover sins of all kinds, but now, when
small sums of money are becoming of es
sential importance to all classes, it is to be
hoped that taxpayers will awaken to the
importance of economy in legislation as
well as at home. It is by such a test that
Dr. Dower's course ought to be tried to as
certain whether he has been faithful to the
few or the many. Examine liis votes —in-
quire about his promises previous to his
lirst election—compare them with his acts
—and you can judge for yourselves wheth
er if he were your agent on a farm or in
~ome other important business, you would
rtrust him again under corresponding cir
cumstances.

More Foreign Preferences.
A SEFCVIML Water Pipe Business.
Captain Meigs, who appears to be the
principal favorite of the present and last
democratic administrations, it seems some
time ago gave another evidence of his pref
erence for foreigners quite as exceptionable
as his recent course in not stipulating that
the great water pipe contract should be of
American iron. The Cosmopolitan Art
Journal, in a review of the new Capitol,
justly censures the course pursued in dec
orating that building, and copios a letter
from which we make the following extracts:
"The best artists of the country, with
scarcely an cxcepti HI, have offered their ser
vices, and asked to he employed upon the Cap
itol. Without an exception their applications
have been rejected, and the work of decora
tion is going rapidly forward under the direc
tion of an Italian, whose reputation is little
better than that of a skilful scene painter,
and who employs under him a crowd of six
ty or seventy foreign painters, chiefly Italians
and Frenchmen. The result of their labors
is now visible here and there throughout the
new wings in tawdry and gaudy ornaments,
vile in taste, puor in design, and offensive in
color. The most flagrant and conspicuous
scene of their exertions so far is the Senate
Naval Committee room—an apartment about
thirty feet by twenty in size. The decorations
of this one room have already cost SIO,OOO,
and the ornamentation, suou ns it is, is yet
far from being complete. It is scarcely pos
sible to imagine anything more absurd, or in
more outrageous taste. Yet it is entirely in
keeping with the general style of decoration
of the Capitol, which is a servile, tastless re
production of the Pompeian style, with its
worn-out fade, wearisome gods, goddesses,
nymphs, and monsters, of which all sensible,
cultivated men have long been tired, and
which have passed away from literature and
art wherever literature and art flourish.
The responsibility for this defacement of
the Capitol rests, i am sorry to learn, upon
Captain Meigs, the engineer in charge of the
Capitol extension. I have heretofore defen
ded him from attacks that were made upon
the new Ifall of Representatives. That llall,
after six months' daily observation and use of
it, I maintain to be as well adapted to its pur
pose as any llall well can he. For that, and
for the general construction of the Capitol ex
tension, Captain Meigs deserves high credit.
He is a man of intelligence and uniinpeacha
ble integrity, who has must faithfully execu
ted the important duties which have been
committed to his charge. liut his approba
tion or toleration of the monstrosities under
the name of Art, which are being perpetra
ted under his eyes, shows that he has not the
taste nor the cultivation which might entitle
hini to absolute and unquestioned direction of
the decorations of the buildings. Such di
rection he has assumed. Throughout the
Capitol in the matter of art his will is law,
and no man is suffered to touch a brush who
does not conform implicitly te that will. Our
native artists of distinction, with reputations
at stake, will not submit to the dictation of a
man who may be a good engineer, but who is
certainly no artist, and who just as certainly
has no taste for art The consequence is, that
the Capitol is in the hands of a crowd of IN
FERIOR AND NEEDY FOREIGNERS, who
paint what they are told to paint at so
much a day for their work. If this is suffer
ed to go on the Capitol will be for ages the
laughing-stock of the cultivated world.
This penchant for foreigners and foreign
subjects in a National building intended to
hist for ages, is singular, but in keeping
with many other acts of this democratic
administration, which seems to prefer any
thing foreign, down to heathenism, to Amer
ican battles on sea and land, American por
traits, American scenery, or American feel
ings. The people however are awakening
from their lethargy, and having now the
evidence before their eyes of what exces
sive importations of foreign goods, manu
factured at low wages, produce, the cry
will soon ring abroad from every hill and
valley for a Protect ice Tariff, regardless of
British, French, Dutch, Irish, or any other
interests.
Senator Biglcr on Weak Knees.
It will be remembered that Senator Big
ler of Pennsylvania, during the last Con
gress, was a most violent Leeomptonite,
and aspired to be chief executioner of Wal
ker, Stanton, and all others who revolted
from the infamous plot to force Slavery up
on Kansas. From that fact the following
extract of a LETTER FROM MR. BIG
LER 1 O MR. STANTON is peculiarly in
teresting, if not important, as a contribu
tion to tlu: secret history of Kansas affairs.
The letter is dated Clearfield Pa., Aug. 14,
185 i, and is doubtless authentic:
"Make my special regards to Gov. Waiker,
and say to him that he has the poj/ular heart
with him throujltout the entire country except
only the extreme South. Should thia program
me succeed, he will have the most enviable prom
inence f any man in the nation. The Admin
istration is a little weak at the knees, and
winces under the .Southern thunder, hut it
must stand up to the work."
Bigler don't deny this letter, but his or
gan at Clearfield is quite wrothy atßtanton
for making known the contents of a pri
vate letter. There will be some other Le
comptonites "weak in the knees" before

Telegraphic News from Europe,
The city papers at the close of last week ;
contain the following despatches, transmit- ;
ted through the Atlantic cable, which were
furnished for general information to the
associated press:

ST. PETERSBURG, Saturday, August 21.
The announcement of the conclusion of peace
with C'hiua gave great satisfaction to the
Emperor and the whole Court.
ALEXANDRIA, Egypt, AugustO.—Thesteam
er Madras arrived at Suez on the 7th, with
ButuLay dates to the 19th of July.
There is nothing important form India to
add to the advices of yesterday.
The last despatch left London in the
morning, was recieved before the hour of
noon and published in the afternoon edition
of the city papers. The despatch not only
brings news direct from London, but places
us practically within less than twenty days
of Alexandria, Egypt. It is worthy of
remark, as a suggestive coincidence, that
the first news despatch over the Atlantic
Cable was an announcement of peace con
cluded, whilst the second informs us of the
terms of the treaty by which the vast
Empire of China will be thrown open to
the trade of the world.
JterTh e Democrat of this week abounds
in all kinds of charges against us, against
Mr. Peach)*, and against the opposition gen
erally, backed by the usual number of "fibs"
which annually appear in that print at this
season. It considers our advocacy of a
sale of all the public works full justifica
tion for l)r. Bower voting for what he
promised he would not; goes in fur the
free whiskey bill of course; and defends
the 50 cent militia tax under the pretext
that it has been imposed long ago. That's
true, but the difference is that it was not
collected, while now it will be; and what
that difference will be, can be inferred from
the fact that in 1857 the amount paid in
to the State Treasury by this county for
militia tax was but £135. As there arc
over 3000 taxables in Mifflin county, any
one can figure out, after making due allow
ance for exonerations, what a compulsory
collection will produce. It is now pay or
go to jail, as a good many hard working
men will find out, perhaps not l<fore the
election, but certainly before the pres
ent duplicates are settled.

This is rather an anomalous "improvement"
at tiie present day, but as whiskey is to be
a current article during (Jov. Packer's term,
we suppose folks may as well get drunk on
home manufacture as any other. Fisher,
the brewer, we perceive is constructing a
large vault for keeping lager, which, taken
in connection with the above, would seem
to indicate that whiskey and lager are
the only paying business now going on.

of Professor O. J. Wood. This we know is

several enses its truly benelicial effects. Dr.
Wood was kind enough to send usaeoupleof
bottles, and after finding that it prevented our
hair from falling out, we presented a bottle to
a friend who had boeu bald for at least thirty
years. It has restored his hair entirely, and
it is now as thick and glossy as when he was
twenty-five. This we say in all sincerity, and
we shall be glad to have our friends try it for
themselves, as we believe it is just what it
professes to be. See advertisement.

For the Gazette.
One of Dr. Bovver's Legislative Feats.
Editor Gazette—ln this part of the county
wo are at a loss to understand the utility and
object of Dr. Bower's snake bill, or in other
words, his bill legislating out of office the
Poor Directors of Mifliin county. We fre
quently hear the question asked, Why was
this done? The current report which is gen
erally believed runs about thus. Some one,
two, or three Individuals in or about Lewis
town, who have ruled the Democracy of this
county for a number of years, had a personal
grudge at one of the Poor Directors, and be
ing foiled in every attempt to injure him, re
solved to try what could be done by special
legislation. To accomplish this object, a pe
tition of some half dozen signers, or therea
bouts, was got up secretly and sent to Harris
burg in charge of the Doctor. lie drafted
the bill and hurried it through the Lower
House. When it reached the Scrsate he went
into the Senate Chamber and requested tliat
it be passed immediately, giving assurance
that there was no opposition to the bill in
Mifliin county.
While the bill was yet pending in the Low
er House, the trick was discovered, and the
citizens of Lewistown being advised of the
Doctor's doings at once got up a remonstrance,
and in one day about one hundred and fifty
signatures to the paper were obtained, lu
the valley remonstrances were also signed by
almost every taxpayer who was applied to.
These remonstrances were without delay sent
to Ilarriaburg, and reached the Senate Cham
her just too late to prevent the passage of the
bill. When they were presented to the Sen
ate, one of the members arose and expressed
strong indignation at the fraud practiced on
that body. The Governor was immediately
apprized of the imposition and requested to
veto the bill. After holding it over several
days, one of the originators of the conspiracy,
who had influence at court, informed the
Governor that "ail is right," when he signed
the bill and it became a law.
It is further rumored that as soon as the
snake bill was discovered at Lewistawn, the
Doctor was written to and requested to stay
proceedings until a general expression of sen
timent would be obtained from his constitu
ents, hut the Doctor, true to his clique, turned
a deaf ear to the multitude and had this hill
passed for the express purpose of doing a
personal injury to an honest, unsuspecting
individual, and all this at the bidding of some
two or three politicians to whom the election
of .John Cubbison was objectionable.
\\ e hope this is not the true state of the
| case, and therefore call 011 Dr. Bower to vin
dicate himself before an incensed community.
If he is slandered, let him give good reasons
(if he can) for getiing up and passing clan
destinely this uncalled for bill, by which such
men as John Atkinson. John Peachy, and
John Cuhbis in, were legislated out of office,
at an expense of several hundred dollars, so
speedily that they were beheaded before they
j dreamed they were in danger.

Dr. Geo. B. Green—Dear Sir—Having been
a great sufferer from Dyspepsia, and having
been cured.as I believe by your Oxygenated
Bitters, I most cheerfully attest their etiieaey.
My case was a bad one. In the space of four
months I lost my strength, and forty-seven
pound of flesh, was compelled to abandon
business, and remained an invalid for fifteen
months. Travelling and absence from office
duty had done something for me, but there
seemed little probability of a cure until I be
gan to take the Bitters. In oue week 1 was
greatly relieved, and in three weeks I was
perfectly well, and have since regained thirty
pounds of flesh. You are at liberty t use
this, if it will at all further your laudable
purpose of diffusing this valuable remedy.
Respectfully yours, C. C. TRUWIJRIDGE.
