WEDNESDAY, JULY|2S, 1869. DEMOCRATIC STATE TICKET. FOR GOVERNOR; non. ASA PACKEB, or Carton county. FOR JUDGE OF SUPREME COURT: Hon. CYRUS L. PERSHING, of Cambria co. A Yankee and Not a Yanltce. The Radical newspapers of the State are all cackling in concert, like a set of excited hens in a hay loft, over the co* incidence that our candidate for Gover nor and their candidate for Supreme Judge were both born in New England. They are Jubilant to an excess of jollity over what they consider the successful' Bpiking of one of our guns. They seem to think the fact that Williams was a Yankee injured him seriously when he ran before. It is true that both Asa Packer and • Henry W. Williams were born in Con- j. necticut. By birth they are both Yan- ; 1 kees, but there all similarity between ■them ends. Judge Packer came tot Pennsylvania when a mere boy, with! only the germs of the noble char- j acter which his intimate association j the people of Pennsylvania has since developed. Apprenticing him . self to a Pennsylvania carpenter he learned the trade thoroughly, and help ed to build numerous tenements still | standing. Becoming a farmer and mar* [ rying a Pennsylvania girl he took firm j root in the soil of his adopted State.— j Engaging in business at an early day , in Lehigh Valley he did more Ilian any , roan in the Commonwealth to develop : its vast mineral.resources. A life time , • of honest toil and manly endeavor, . spent in prosecution of great and bene . iicient enterprises, has enriched many . besides himself, and given profitable cm- j ' ployment to thousands of working men j ' lor many years together. Asa Packer never imbibed the pernicious ideas 1 which make so many Yankeesdespicu- . ble. Jlo spent his boyhood in a purer j atmosphere, with one whose political j life was regulated by tiie teachings of , Thomas Jefferson. Asa Pucker was no adventurer seeking a location in ; which ho might secure political prefer- | meat, lie is as thorough a Pennsylva nian as it is possible for any man to be, 1 holding a vast slake in her soM, and . being a great leader in all that pertains to her material prosperity and her social and intellectual advancement. A College has been endowed by his princely m,unilie( nee, and the youth of the Comirfoiiwealtli will for all time to come, honor ami revere the great, good and true Pennsylvanian who is to he our ext (ioveriior. Henry W. Williams, on the other hand, is the impersonation of all that is most despicable in the wandering Yan kee politician, who starts out, carpet hug in hand, seeking preferment. Nar row minded ami bigoted, thoroughly imbued with all the fanaticism and unreasonableness of pretentious ami straight-laced Puritanism, he settled iu that strong holt! of Radicalism, Ihecity of Pittsburg. There he had little in tercourse with natives of Pennsylvania, hisbusiness being principally confined to New England manufacturers and monopolists, who hmj 1 located there for the sole purpose of making money. He was pul forward by them as a candi date for Judge of Allegheny county, and the Radical party accepted him. In no true sense of the word is Henry W. Williams a Pennsylvanian; but in all things he is a Yunlyt& still, with all the obnoxious features of that class fully developed am! dominant over li is entire nature. it is not the mere accident of birth that gives a man character. It is the principles with which he is imbued that mould and form him. Henry W. Wil liams is not lit to be Judge of the .Su preme Court of Pennsylvania, because he has nothing iu common with the people, of the Slate. He is a resilient foreigner, with only the form of citizen ship attaching to him. Should he be elected, he would be governed in his de cisions by the bigoted and fanatical views which prevail among his class lu New England. We want no such Judges to sit upon our Supreme Bench. \Vi» lliink we lisivu nuule the dinlina tion bulWCUll IIII'SC two natives of f'ull ueelicul ho plain that the most pui'lilim! liiulleal cun liol fail to f-ce it.

He is a lawyer of distinguished ability, a man of the strictest iutogii'y, a geutl email of linisheiL culture, a sound Democrat 1 young,aoUvc, zealous, untiring, am! one of the handsomest men in Pennsylva nia. Jf with all these qualifications he does not piove to he the right man in the right place it will he strange in deed. '1 Jiat'he will party to a glorious victory we have no doubt. . The Radical County CommlUcv AVe publish elsewhere a brief sketch of the adjourned meeting of the Uadi cal County Committee, which was held for the purpose of devising some mean.? for preventing frauds anil ballot-box slutting. Not a man made a speech in tho Committee who did not eitheropi n ly or tacitly admit that tin- most out rageous rascalities had been heretofore practised under tlu- Crawford County System. It was conceded that candi dates who were the real choice of the people, as expressed by llieir votes at the primary elections, had been deliber ately couuted out, and the favorites of the ring substituted in Llieir stead. The general tone of feeling displayed by Un loading men of the party was one of a 1 very low older. No one seemed to ex- pect that honesty would prevail in Un coming contest. The appointment of Watchers, George Brubaker declared would inevitably lead to the disruption of the party and the placing of two Re publican ti'-k'i ijii the held. We sup pose Mr. Brubaker meant that frauds would be thus laid bare, and discontent •excited. The S'-<-ne exhibited during the se.-sion of the OiinmiU.ee was enough to convince any di.-int<-n- t< d spectator, that the Radical parly '/ 1, *n castor county Is fairly rotten in' ilc for ruption. That illustrious member of the Rad ical party, “ Chuck” Roan, was present at the meeting of the Republican Coun ty Committee. Jle seemed to be much interested in the proceedings and Home* what shocked at the conduct of the members. Every now and then, when the war of words waxed hot, he would exclaim: “look out for the Intelli gencer to-morrow.” THFi TiaWoA.STEB WTVFLKLY IHSTTELLIGrEnSTCEB, WEDNESDAY, JULY 23 , 1869. Who 1b to he fought "with Packer’s Money ? The Radicals profeßS to believe that the coming gubernatorial election will bo carried by money; that voters are to be bought np by Packer. Who are in ; the market? It certainly is not the Democrats, for they will all vote “the ticket, the whole ticket,” and nothing but the ticket; and that without being bribed to do so. Are the Radical voters up for sale? We know that many of the leaders sell themselves as often as a purchaser can be found. Grant was bought up by Stewart, and Bone, and Hoar, and other rich men. Geary was purchased time and again by the lobby and the legislative ring. Thad. SteveDS died with two hundred thousand dollars of Pacific Railroad bonds in his posses sion ; and to this day his Executors have declined to file and swear to an inventory of his property. The Radi cal Congress has been repeatedly bought up by whiskey rings, railroad rings, Xew England tariff rings, internal im provement rings, and multitudinous other rings. Simon Cameron purchased a scat in tiie United States benate two years ago; and last year the Pennsylvania Railroad bought the place vacated by Buckalew for its pet solicitor John bcott. Radical mem bers of our legislature could be bought during the last session as low as five dollars a piece. We know the leaders of the Republican party sell themselves often, and that they sell themselves very cheap in Pennsylvania; but are the masses of the party in this State as venal and as low priced ? The tone 0 ( f the Radical press would lead us to be lieve that they can be bought in droves for a trilling sum pel- head. Perhaps it would lie well for the Chairman of the Democratic Slate Central Committee to examine into this matter. A few thous and dollars might bringus many thous and votes, ami that would simplify matters amazingly, and insure a ma jority for Packer and Pershing of just as many Lbon-anus as may bo deemed desirable. Ail this blow which Radi cal newspapers are makingubout Pack er's money either means that the masses of tlu-ir party nru as venal as its leaders, or it means nothing. Know-Nothing Assaults Ip on Ko.seeruns*; Jn Ohio tliu Radical papers ure assail ing (icneral Rosccrans most bitterly on account or his religious belief. His dis tinguished services in the war prevent liis being denounced us a copperhead, hU high and pure private character places him fur above all ordinary ns- Huuits, ami the Radicals are reduced to t!ie singie desperate and despicable ex pedient of denouncing him because he is a Catholic. They hope to rouse the pnjudieis of narrow-minded bigots 1 against the gallaut soldier and triad ■ patriot, in this method of assault the ; innate and inedlaceablo meanness oi ; the Radical party is exhibited to the world. Thu old leaven of know nulhingism still lurks like hidden hut deadly poison in the hearts of the lead ers of the Republican party. It was re pressed for a time during the war, when recruits for the army were so largely drawn from the ranks of ] rish and tier man Catholics ; but at the very iirst op portunity it again Hashes forth in all its diabolical malignity. The Catholics of this country have no assurance, that they will be protected in their rights if power is continued in Radical hands, and every foreign born citi/.-n would hold his dearest privileges by a very in secure ten me but fur the protecting care of the Democratic party. The assaults ! unoti General Roseerans show the true spirit of Radicalism. Congress lo Fix Things. The Radicals are not disposed to aC- 1 <|ii!esce in the decision which wasmadc by the people of Virginia at the pulls. The Legislature being strongly Con servative, an attempt will at once be made to declare vacant the seats of all who can not take the “iron-elad ” oath. A "Washington telegram to the Phila delphia i'o.sY says : Th-'n* .••i i-ni.s !<> b- no doubt hut that a new cltM-tibn will W* ordered in Virginia within the next ten days, unless General Giant interfere", lor a close canvass shows that n verv small pi-TO'Uoti ol the newiv elected mciiihcis ot tin* Virginia Legislature can take tin* “ Iron-chol " oulli. Certainly no ijui-runi can take it, and ad the trouble nnd ex|>en *• n;' n-huldmg liioelcetiou will ensue ill the d’.striels where the melt) hern elect e mtioi take ilia “ iron clad.” The Lion.

The States 1 which have been kept out of the Union m> long will t.wL be admitted if they at- ! t< nipt to come in with conservative governors or hgiilatures. The Cnlon is nothing whin weighed 7igaiu.it the greed of the Radical* for olliee, and all the poliiie:.l and material inter ests of the nation will be sacrificed by the eoirupt crew in Congress in order that a set of greedy cormorants may be onabh -1 to fatten on the publicplunder. We hope t Rant will show that he has enough of honesty and manhood in his comp">;Lion to protect the people of Virginia, who look him at his word and faithfully carried out their part of the proposed plan of reconstruction. deary and tiie Lobby There are many Republicans In Penn sylvania who would peremptorily refuse to vote for the re-election of the legisla tive ~i oo.-.ter.-'" and ‘‘pinchers’’ who made merchandise of their positions last winter. Vit the Heard of the very worst of tinui is better than that of John W. (leary, whose signature was appended to every infamous bill which the si-orvy scoundrels passed, deary was n nominated by them. They pack ed the convention with, delegates .select ed by them.-.elvcs. should deary he re elected the rascality and corruption which has so completely disgraced the good oid (.'omnmnweullb of Pennsylva nia will continue to sweep on umdieek aud unabated. The only hope for re form lies in the election of that hon est high-toned gentleman Asa Packer, deary has sold himself out to the lobby —Asa Packer would be beyond its ap proach. Let every honest Republican remember that, when lie goes to tin polls. Tin: Kx])rcss does not dare lo'publish the account of Asa Packer’s prompt and liberal aoti-m when the Statu, of Penn sylvania was invaded. It contents it self with a garbled extract and throe quarters of a column of misrepresenta tion of the truth. It ignores the fact that Mr. Packer owns nearly the whole stock of the Lehigh Valley Railroad, and tries to produce the impression that the money he gave did not come out of his own pocket, p. rlmps that is the best that could be -expected from the Editor of the Express. He is an adept at making his pen do the work of falsi fication. He learned the art early in ■ life to Ins detriment and disgrace. fc'-Kc it kta itv Fox gives up the contest iu Ohio, and admits that Ros&craus will be elected by a majority whereof the expres.-ion will require more than four ligun s. The whole of Oraut’s Cabinet give up Pennsylvania. The.big grain harvest of this yeur will be followed by an immense fruit crop, and a round of glorious Democratic victories, if our full vote is brought to the polls in Oeto • be r. VV.«n-:x the name of \V. W. Hopkins, i. .q., was called in the Radical County Committee, on tiie motion to table the amondrn'-nis to the rules governing primary elections, some loud-mouthed Thug from the rural districts shouled “ aye," and Mr. Hopkins, who was not proewd., wu-i recorded as so voting.— What a penchant for illegal voting these fellows have. Tjm; next .State elections will be in Kentucky, August ‘J ; Alabama, August J; Tennessee, August h ; Montana, Au gust 10. Where Geary Has Been, “ The people all know where Geary was daring the war,” cry the Radical ewspapers. Yes! And the people know where he has been since. In the Gubernatorial Mansion, hand in glove with the “roosters” and “ pinchers” of the most infamously cor rupt legislatures that ever assembled. in the Executive chambers, issuing previous pardons for felons who richly deserved to spend a life time in the pen itentiary ; signing swindling bills of the most outrageous character; appro ving acts by which extra pasters and folders, and other useless and illegally appointed officials,were paid out of the State Treasury; conniving with the legislative thieves and helping to steal many thousands of the dollars wrung from an over-taxed people; issuing supplementary proclamations to enable the ignorant boor Covode to oust the Hon. Henry D. Foster from his seat in Congress; signing the outrageous and unconstitutional bill which abolished a judicial district, at the bidding of that corrupt lobbyist, Bster Herdic; recom mending the ratification of the. negro sufirage amendment, and forcing it through the legislature ; sharing in the profits of passenger railway schemes in Philadelphia, pipe monopolies in the Western part of the State, and other paying pieces of rascally legislation. The people of Pennsylvania know where Geary has heen. The inllated stories which were told about his mar tial prowess have been pricked by the spear of truth, and have collapsed into nothingness. The boasted battle above the clouds has turned out, when seen in the light of authentic history, to be only the unsubstantial fiction of a news paper reporter’s fruitful fancy. The blare of trumpets which deafened the ears of the masses in ISM are not heard iu lsoti. We do not see whole columns of sentimental twaddle arrayed under military captious. The favorite ap pellation of the “Hero of Lookout Mouutaiu” is no moreapplied to Geary ; and the .Radical press of Pennsylvania is constrained to‘own up to the lying game of brag, which it played so suc cessfully just after the war ended. Geary is not running now on a news paper war record. That lun dissolved “like the basHesp fabric of a vision.”— Having obtained a renomiuation through the agency of the ‘‘roosters” and “pinchers” who packed the .Radical State Convention, he must stand or fall by his official record as Governor. That lias been so corrupt and so completely unsatisfactory that thousands of honest and conscientious Republicans will re fuse to vote for him, and will support instead that thoroughly upright, and inflexibly honest man Asa Packer.— John W. Geary, the friend ami assistant of the legislative “roosters” and “pinch* era” will he promptly repudiated by the people of Pennsylvania in October. Wooing Uie Dutch and irish, The £.rj)rcss undertakes to repel tho charge of pioscriplivtness by asserting that the Republican organization in The only party in this oounlry which i* pledged to uphold impartial justice and equal rights-m all men, without regard to raee, nationality or religious bedel'. Wo know the Radicals have made a loud blow about “ impartial justice and equal rights” eversinee they have been engaged in their attempt to enforce the odious doctrine otMsegro Kqualiiy. But, all their high-sounding rhetoric has been exhausted upon the African. Does the K.vj)rcss remember the brutal de nunciations of foreigners indulged in by Fisher, and lteiuoehl, and other Radi cals two years ago, when Julin Hick man’s proposition to strike the. word white from the Constitution of Penn sylvania, was before our State Legisla ture? Has it forgotten how Irish and Germans were declared to bemoreuufil to exercise the right of suffrage than the black harharian9 who had just been freed from tho thralls of slavery ? Just now, when defeat stares the Radicals of Pennsylvanja in the face, they would like to cover up the damning record of their proscriptive, church-burning par ty.

Caste and Amalgamation, Rowen, the Radical Mayor of Wash* ington city, who inoksonienf the negro (Muneiltneu of Washington to Geliys* burg with him, and fmced them into the same dining room ith while peo ple, thus advocates mixed schools, mixed assemhiages uml mixed society gener al!/, Says he in his recent school mes sage: “The breaking down of ail rush- ill'! 1 no tions is one of lie- great missions of the A morican people, mid thesooner all clu.-ows ‘conquer their piejudices ’ and accept the Hilmumn, the bi-tl-r fur nil roiieeniefl.

He distinctly enunciates a purpose on the part of the Radical leaders to 41 break down nil caste distinctions,” and sug gests that to tilvot it "all chiidien," including young white females in the Public Schools, a fur being forced into them by operation of laws invoked by Congress, "should J-u taught there to ignore all class distinctions.” .And he looks forward with pleasure to the time when Lliis shall lead to a 11 mingling of races." The masse:-, of tiie Republican party can see where they are being car ried by tiie leaders of the organization. Wk have watched tiie Radical newspaper press carefully to see what chaiges they would bring against our candidates. Not a disparaging word has been spoken against Cyrusyrus L. Persh ing, amW/m ?'iov they have been aide to say against Judge Packer is that lie is rich, and the worst that he acquired his wealth honestly. It is evident that the Radicals will be very short of ammuni tion during the present, campaign. /V whole room full of bears, such as the one which has been delighting the urchins of our city for some days, would make up a peaceful ami orderly assem blage when compared to the meeting of the Radical County Committee, of whicli 'Mi give a slight sketch else where. Such a bear garden we never saw before. Till-: Radicals in Wilmingtou, N. C., are in a wrangle over a candidate for the Legislature. One wing, composed of blacks, has nominated a white man and the other wing, composed of whites, has nominated a black man, and tiie fight js-fierce, leading even to fisticuffs. Ruck, the carpet-bag candidate for Congress in the Selma (Ala.) District, is the incumbeut at the present time of no less than five oilices,—State, Federal, and municipal, the aggregate salaries of which amountto?lo,OOOannuuliy. That is bucking the State to some purpose. A Washington letter writer declares that Forney confidently expects to be the next carpet-bag Senator from North Carolina, and that iu order to make a pbow of having some interest in the State, he hup purchased some turpentine lauds there. Cattell, despairing of re-election the Senate, is really contemplating to remove to Philadelphia and to shake from off his feet the dust of the ungrate ful Jerseymen. Asa Packer's War Becord, The Express seems to be in doubt as to where Asa Packer stood duriDg the war. It does not charge him with dis loyalty, but it puts a set of questions in such shape as to insinuate doubts. It says: When traitors made war upon the gov ernment and sought to destroy it, we all know where General Geary was found. Can anybody inform us what Mr. Packer’s position was upon the great issue of the maintenance or the overthrow of the gov ernment which bad piotected him, and un der whicb|be had become one of the wealth iest men within its boundaries? We know he did not volunteer in the military ser vice, but this may not be a just cause of re proach against him if in other ways he gave bis aid and influence to encourage and uphold tho bands of those who were struggling in'council and field to preserve the lile of the nation. Was his aid and in fluence so given? Was his voice raised in denunciation of the traitors and for the en couragement of these who were volunteer ing to uphold the cause of their country? Of his twenty millions of dollars did he ever contribute the amount of the income of a single day lor the equipment of troops i or to the funds of the .Sanitary Commis ; sion ? We happen to be able to answer all the anxious inquiries of the Express in a manner which cannot fail to be per fectly satisfactory to its most loyal reader. The following extract from the Carbon Democrat a paper published at the home of Judge Packer, where all the facts stated are well known, meets every question raised by our neighbor, and seal 3 its mouth on the war record of the Democratic candidate forever. On Sunday afternoon, June 28, 1803, a spontaneous, enthusiastic and large gather ing of the people of Mauch Chunk was held in the Court House at that place. A fierce, bloody, bitter, uncertain ccntiict was rag ing at Gettysburg, from which came hour ly dispatches telling tales of horror and of the butchery of noble men. The gathering we speak of was very naturally converted iutou war meeting, and patrioticaud tender and tearful speeches were made by many citizens of the place, livery soul seemed full of the agony of suspense, trembling lest the sun should go down upon a defeated Federal Army, and the cause of-tbo Union be irrecoverably lost. Urgent appeals wore made to the young men to go to the aid of their fellows, and help in the nation's ex tremity. The morning and the meridian of thut day were dark and foreboding.— From the Capital to the extremity of telegraphic communication, one dread, ter rible fear seized hold ot the people lest the great buttle of the war should result against us. At the meeting in (juesllcn, umid all the efforts of burning eloquence and the tears of sympathetic and patriotic women not a man moved ■' At length there arose in the uudiencea man of matureyeurs wlin gray head, and a hearing as of oue of Na ture’s own noblemen—a man who never made speeches. All eyes were bent upon him, and amid perfect silenco lie said: “Kvery man, now In tho employ ot the Lehi-h Valley Hall Hoad Company, who will volunteer fur his country in this her hour of proving need, shall recoive his reg • iilur monthly pay ami retaiu his situation until his return, us if ho were present and working each day.” Tho effect was most woudyrluh Over a hundred men volun teered at once, and In a few hours wwe fully equipped anil speeding oyer tue Le high Valley Hail Hoad to the scene of war, Need we say, that man was Asa Packkh. Honesty and fairness would seem to require the Express to publish the above extract. If it does not intend intention ally to deceive its readers it will find room fur tb“ truth in its columns. We wait to sec whether it will have the manliness to do justice to a political op ponent. Not alone at the great crisis alluded to did Asa Packer lend his aid and influence to sustain the Union cause, lie was an unflinching support er of that cause at ail times and under all circumstances, contributing lurgely of his means to aid in putting down the rebellion. We hope the doubts of the Exj>r< tut are fully solved. The Uadlcals and the Fenians, The Committee of Fenians which called upon- the members of Grant’s Cabinet the other jlay, to urge thatsome action be taken to procure the release of certain of our naturalized citizens now eomlned in Kuglish dungeons were most brutally repulsed. Attorney Gen eral Hoar told Co). 'NVurren and bis compatriots that all the men who went to Canada dining the raid were a set of thieves and scoundn;G, deserviugof any punishment whichfmight befall thepi. The excitement aiidNljsgust in benian circles is intense, and men who voted for Grant now cursehim as an imbecile. Xo Fenian will vote a Radical ticket this fall. - One experiment of that kind ought tc be '’suJlieient to satisfy any Irishman. Our Sponging President, (iraut, if not a miser, is certainly both a saving man and one of the greediest money getters in the country. He liaa shown himself ready to accept presents of any and every description, aud is re puted to have made large sums by spec ulating iu stocks uuder the direction of shrewd managers on Wall Street. He made the ti ip to Cape May and Long Rranch on a government steamer to save expense*; and a member of his family la said to havo been paid the stiugHiim ofjdOjUnn by the hotel keepers at the latter place for inducing him to visit that fushiouablo resort. Of course the whole party are dead-beaded at all the hotel-, and treated to the richest viands and the costliest wines. Such a spectacle of Hpougiug is disgusting aud disgraceful. A Sharp Uebuke. Tiie radical jack-daws finding noth ing in the military or civil career of Gen. ltosecraus, which they may defile with their filthy beaks, now peck at his religion. The Pittsburg Chronicle thus rebukes these foul ami malignant crea tures: "An Ohio republican paper, in the rural districts, objects to theelectiou of General Itoeecrans, the Democratic candidate for Governor of that State,on the ground that ‘he is a most devoted Catholic,’ That i& native Americanism cropping out with a vengeance. Since his ‘ loyalty ’ could not be impugned, religion must be lugged in to injure him. What a dirty business politics has become in this country.’’ It is explained by an obsequious cor respondent that the President’s order, excluding the public from the grounds belonging to the White H&tfcje, was is sued for the purpose of giving the fami ly opportunities for healthful exercise, without being disturbed by outsiders. Under all Presidents the public have been accustomed to enjoyment opthese spacious parks. Rut the imperial fami ly could not bear the gaze of vulgar plebeians even at adistance- This same correspondent, iu the very next para graph, states tWt 44 the President’s family will be absent all summer!”— While they are using a jvur ship for a pleasure yacht, the public are, at the same lime, excluded f-om the White House grounds, Tin-: Exprtss .-ays it has not seen any denunciation of General Rosecrana on account of his religious belief in the. Radical newspapers of Ohio. Does its" editor read the Pittsburg Gazette 1 If he does he can not fail to have noticed its denunciation of certain Republican newspapers of Ohio. The Gazette is a very Radical paper, hut it thinks this is not the time to open a new crusade upon Catholics and foreigners, So it rebukes those of its party in Ohio who are doing this evil thing. If the Radi cal newspapers of Ohio were not guilty how comes it that the Gazette found it necessary to lake them to task? Can the £jj)rcss answer? The Pittsburg Chronicle (Radical) takes the Republican papers of Ohio to task for the assaults upon General Rosecratw o r n account of religion. It says: •* Wheu the Democrats do uot nominate a soldier for office, they Jail to do so because they are dmioyal, and wheu they do Dom* nate a-soldier, as iu the case of General Rosecrans, of Ohio, why, he is a Catholic! In that Stale the clamor is raised that after the battle of Chlckamouga he refused to allow a Catholic church to be used as a hos pital. Certainly our Republican friends are hard to please.’’ If Ben. Butler gets into the Senate in 1871, he is likeiy there to meet Mr. Audrew Johnson ; and there is a lively prospectofinterestingproceediDgeabout that time. .“Big Injun” “Hans Geary.” <( Ugh.” John W. Geary is the most contemp tible demagogue in 111 United States. Ever since he has occupied the guber natorial chair he has done little else than, spend his timein 'raming petty devices to force himself upon the attention of a public which has no regard for him. There has scarcely been a public gath ering hny where in the State which he has not attended. Had he not been a boor and an ignoramus, he might thus have gained some popularity with those who are flattered by the notice of pub lic characters. But he has shown so little tact that he has become a perfect laughing stock. Two or three yea r s ago he intruded himself upon the Hans Groff Association of this county, and made such a ridiculous speech that even his strongest party friends who were present were ashamed of him. — He capped the climax of absurdity by | expressing the wish that his name was j Hans Geary, at which the honest Ger- ] mans present laughed in his stupid face, i He joined the Good Templars, beiDg j initiated in the Gubernatorial mansion J on the ocoaaion of a meeting of the order , at Harrisburg. To impress that body ; with his zeal in temperanpe he pro- ; nounced himself to be unequivocally! n ; favor of a prohibitory liquor law; and ! protested that he had not tasted liquor , since he was seven years old. How ; bald and barefaced a lie that was, those ; who have seen him in his cups on the ! “Old Portage Road” and in the army j can testify, as well as the Germans of; Erie with whom he drank divers glasses of beer at a sitting during the last cam paign, getting off in his inebriety the silly toast which ran the rounds of the newspapers at that time, Coming to Lancaster during the Sh&rswood campaign, he found some excitement against the fanatical Yan kee'Williams, and he straightway for got his pledges to the Good Templars took the other track, and'“soft-sawder ed” the liquor men, assuring them of his entire sympathy with them. Though he never did an honest day's work since his mojority, being too luzy, be sought occasion to join the Ameri can Mechanics, a .secret order which proscribes every foreign born Mechanic in the State of Pennsylvania. In short there is not a secret order in e:;ijtenco ! within the bounds of the Common- wealth, to which he could possibly oh* tain admission, which ho has notjo.iued, with the hope that the members of the different societies would vote for him. The other day the highly respectable Order of Red Men had a meeting at Harrisburg, and Cleary was on the look out for voces as usual. After intruding himself upon a meeting p? the society and inflicting one of his stupid speeches upon those assembled, he literally begged to be initiated into the mysteries of the Association. The request was granted, and the next day he rode through the streets of Harrisburg wear ing the regalia of the Order, and sim pering and bowing to the crowd in hi-j vainest and most ostentatious man ner. The men of Harrisburg laughed jat Hans Geary in the costume aud | character of the ‘ big injun,” while | ! the boys in the streets shouted “ hi hi,” ; i aud pointed their Augers at him as he : passed 1 . The chief of tlxe order of Red •Men has since published a card explain- : ing the matter, aud repudiating the idea that Geary’s admissiou to the so . eieiy had the slightest political signifi cance. The despicable demagogue who 1 hoped to catch a few votes by forcing , himself mto their society wiil flnu him* I self greatly mistaken. Geary’s low , demagoguism, his vanity, his stupidity, his want of honesty and his utter un -1 truthfuinepß have disgu>ted the decent i men of his own party so completely 1 that multitudes of them will repudiate him. A Death in drain*':* Family Death lias entered the domestic circle of the chief of the nation, and robhed him of one of the moat valued members of his family. A telegram to the Asso ciated Press reads as follows : Washinoton. July -2.— A post mortem examination was made this afternoon of President Grant's trotting nnd breed mare Ada, which died after several hours’ sick ness this morning, she could trot her mile in 2.22. There being suspicion of vegetable poisoning, the stomach has been sent to tho army medical museum lor analysis. A special telegram to the Harrisburg Patriot gives a fuller account of this calamity, and of the effect produced by It in HaOical circles }u Washington. It says: Wamunoton, July-2.—Tlr* protruded absence of tiie President la very severely commented upon by Radical politicians from Virginia and Tennessee, who are here awaiting un inturvlow. They ex pruss them selves much dissatisfied at ills seeming dis interestedness in Iho Interest of the party. Virginia Republicans attributollielr defeat to his in gleet, and chargo that kn will al low the .Mississippi oleelion tc go bj T de fault m a like manner. They sarcastically console each other with the hope that the death of his favorite horse will bring him back to Washington, when, if not overcome with grief, he may possibly give them an audience un business which they consider of vital importance to those who placed him in nowor. It seems, however, that the President does not intend to abandon himself en tirely to grief. Another telegram to the Associate press, says : In response to a telegram fromiPresident Grant his ••urrinTp hnrsesj\Egvpt and Cin cinnati, v. .i. !'o u.y sent toy Long Rranch, Let u.- h - that the grave delibera tions to ! 0 held af tiie Army Medical Museum over the stomach of the Presi dent’s mure, the expenses of which will be defrayed by tiie taxpayers, may result in shedding tiie full light of science upon the subject of investiga tion, and in the discovery of the causes which led to the entrance of the King of terrors into the sacred precincts ol the presidential family. By the way ; how are “than pups.” L’annot the agent of tiie Associated Press inform the public. Was It a Radical Plot? The Reading Eagle has the fuliowing in reference to the attempt whicli was made, between Harrisburg ami Leba non, to throw the train of:’the track which carried the Packer Association of Philadelphia: On Thursday last as the Asa Packer Club of Philadelphia were on their way home from the Nominating Convention .-it Har risburg, an attempt was made to throw the train lrom the track, near Palmyia, on tue Lebanon Valley Railroad, !.->■ placing a railroad lie across the 'ruck, l-’ortunalelv the rails were smooth and no curve at tlnu point; the lie was pushed by the engine along the track under the cow catcher for some distance, but the locomotive was kept on the truck and the engine reversed. The obstruction was removed with difiicultv, being firmly wedged in front of the wheels with the weight of the engine resting on it. The Packer Club took the limber with them to Philadelphia, presuming it to have been mount as a token of kind legurd towards them. A purse of ?20 was made up aud present ed to Mr.-Fealker, the engineer, to whose skill In the management o! the engine the safety of the passengers was attributed. As the train was moving at a high rale of speed ut the time of the accident, a terrible destruction of life would have beeu the con sequence had the cars uoeu thrown from the track, they being numerous and well filled both from Harrisburg and further West. Was this a Radical plot to destroy the lives of somt of the strongest arid most in fluential Democrats in the State? It ap pears so. When did the Democracy ever resort to such a diabolical measure to rid themselves of political enemies? If this is the manner in which the campaign is to be conducted, the Democracy hayo reason to be extremely cautious uutil after the Octo ber election. Th® wretches who would en danger thelives of hundreds pf unoffending persons to gratify their political malice against a few, would stop at no crime prom ising pecuniary or other advantages. Look out ior Radical assjtssjns in the coming campaign! From Capo May comes a report that tho daughter of Ex-Secretary Borie had distinguished herself from drowning a gentleman who had ventur ed beyond his depth.' Miss BoHe is said to be a strong bold swimmer, and see ing a human life in danger she went promptly to the assistance of the drown ing man, and seizing him by the hair of the head brought him to a place of Bafety. Why not make Miss Borie Sec retary of the Navy? EOS*. CYRUS 1.

The Internal Kevenue Law There seems to be a universal expres sion of opinion in favor of allowing the Internal Revenue to expire with its limitation, ami any attempt to extend it will meet general opposition. That able Radical Journal the N. Y. Sun says . Next year is the lust your, under the In ternal Revenue law as it now stands, in which the tax on incomes is to be collected. The amendment passed in lbG7 to the lltuh section of the law reads thus : “ That the taxes on incomes herein im posed shall be levied on or beforo the thir tieth day of April, in each year, until and including the year eighteen hundred and seventy, and no longer.” Unless, therefore, Congress extends the operation of this inquisitorial, oppressive, nud, as we believe, unconstitutional tax, its existence Las nearly come to an end. The New York Sun contains the fol lowing paragraph in relation to deary’s Attorney Genera!: Not a word yet from the Hon.

The second town of importance is Albany, 3,"> miles further up the valley. This thriving town ot about 1,000 inhabitants is the coun ty scat of i.inn (tho Lancaster county of Oregou;. Albany has a live population, and u veiy rich agricultural district to back it up. Tho shipments Qf grain, espe cially wheat nnd wool, are of considerable magnitude here, and give employment to many persons and to a vast amount of capi tal. The court house is a very pretty building, and not musth behind that of Portland in size and style, and iu itself is an indication of the wealth of tho county. After Laving the hospitable Lorm- of the pioneer farmer, wo next visited the pretty little town of Corvallis, the county seat of Beaton county, and, jike Albany, hoauti fully’Mtufited oil a biiiif near the Willa mette. Corvallis, although not so lively as Albany, has nevertheless an energetic popu lation, and will become an important place assoon as the Valley Itoad is finished, being backed up by a good agricultural and wool growing country. While in this vieiuity wo visited one olTho many wonders of this country called .Spring*. The water of these springs is sweet, pure soda water, and wells up from the subterranean and in visiblegenerators in au ever refreshing sup ply. Of these Soda Springs it may be as well to say, that the title to the land, upon which they are situated and which has been in liti* gatiuu for 17 years, has just lately been dij cidod in favor of a Mr. Summers, who has been so much reduced in circumstances through this suit, that he is utterly unablo to develop them properly. This is a mat teV of deep regiet, as there exists, doubt less, a miue ol wealth yet bidden, which capital alone can make available. It is to be hoped, however, that men may be found who will aid inthe laudable undertaking of making the Springs what nature has de signed them— a bene lit to suffering man kind. We leave for Portland to-morrow, from which place more anon from WESTWARD SO. 1?. Portland, Oregon, July G, ISG9. After mailing our last letter we spont u few hours more at Salem in visiting points of intorest, among which wore tho Court House and Oregon University.

TbeJSta’Q ll divided into circuits, with one Judge to the four or live counties embraced in each circuit. Tho Judges of these different circuits constitute the Su preme Court of the State; they sit in “Banc” at special intervals, and when a case is brought np from below on an ap peal tho Judge, under whom it had been tried iu the Circnit Court, retires during ar gument, and judgment is given by tho balance. It is proposed to hold a convention for tho purpose of changing tho “code,” and all intelligent lawyers seem to favor tho project, as being, highly necessary to tho cause of justice. Through tho kindness oftho lion. L. F. Grovers, formerly a member of CoDgress from tho Territory of Oregon, we were shown through tho Sulem Flouring Mills, and also had the pleasure of examining the different fabrics of tbe Salem Woolen Mills ] Company. Xhe former runs fivo burrs, all driven by one turbine wheel, and turns out when iu full run, 500 bb!s, flourin 24 hours, j It is tho most complete Flouring Mill that [we hayo ever visited. Salem mills llour is I known in Now York aud China, as well ns ’ at Portland and San Fiancisco. The manufactures of tho Woolen Mills consist in cloths of various kinds and quali ties, embraeiug flue fancy cloths, tweeds, woolen checks aud shirtings, blankets in great variety and of most extraordinary softness and smoothness of finish, hose, socks, Ac. Owing to the high price of labor, these mills can not compete with tho manu factures of England and Germany, yet it is believed, when the resources of this Slate shall become more fully developed by au increased population and railroad facilities, they will rank ns the first iu the Union in woolens at least; this will follow ns Oregon is a great wool-growiqg country. Taking the stage at Salem wo passed through the rich, agricultural nnd heavy timbered valleys and ridges of the Willa mette as far us Oregon City, passing on our way the French Prairie and “ Dutehtownb or Aurora Colony settlement. At this vil lage we sat down to as fine a Pennsylvania dinner as ever the eyes of a hungry man gazed upoti, or a well sharpened appetite did justice to. The colony, composed solely of Germuns nnd Pennsylvania and Ohio Dutch (as they me here called', owns In common n district of mljirtg prairie and limber land of about six miles >quure, nnd cons'itutea a separate and t xehisivc com munity, all working for one common fund, and all reaping equal benefits. Tho organi zation is somewhat similar to “ Kapp’s | Economy” in Beaver county, Pa., and the J soeleiy'of Kbenozcr, nonr BulTalo, N. V., although in some respects more like tho original Moravian societies of Bethlehem, Liliz. Ac. Aurora will become a lino town after the Umber has been.cleared away, the railroad running through it, and a system of roads established throughout the colony. Tbe society now numbersuboul 1,000 mem ber.x, nnd is steadily increasing. They have a large church, good school house, saw ami grist mills, hotel, and shops fur almost every branch, of trade. Music seems to form ouo of their chief means of enJoyment, ami tho Aurora string ami brass bunds (the latter 21 men strong', are the best in tho State. Alter leaving these singular German colonists wo took the boat at Oregon city fir tins place (Portland> where wo arrived in lime to witness the celebration of .July till inhabitants. A military, civic and fireman's parade was had on the t;!i, which was large in numbers, varied in appearance, but quite I imposing and attractive. After passing over the joule of innrcJi the procession hulled on an open held neur tho city where a stand was provided for the orator (Geo, F.

Hero Mr. Train de- livered U characteristic oration, lie spread himself as only tho great George Francis i can spread himself, carrying away his hun | dreds of hearers, in ecstasies of udmlru'.ion 1 Train is an 'eccentric individual sharp.

Among the most interesting features of the -Ith was the boat race or regatta on the Willumotto, which was participated in by nine sail, all small craft, and was a most exciting scene as viewed from the banks of tho river. A light, graceful little boat, called tlie “Elsie” wus tho winner ot the first prize and her crew were cheered by the spectators as she made the mark on tho oast sldo oftho river and sailed victoriously by ahead of her competitors. In the afternoon of tho Uh the corner stone of Ihu new Odd Fellows’ Hall was laid with the usual ImprisMVO ceremonies of tho Order, under the supervision of J. M. Bacon, 0. M. of the Slate, assisted by the Fraternity lh; general. This Hall when completed will be one of tho most substan tial and ornamental buildings In Portland* 'fhe day and celebration was closi d by a display of ,ir whic u would rt Ib-ct credil.upon the larger clues of the Fast, as ho expense hud Lr< »i spared to mako It a grand success, and the people of Portland therefore enjoyed a treat which will belong remembered. Among the finest pieces of the lira-works wore the “Kgypliun .Jewel,” “Pillar of Stalo, with July -Ith and battery,” and finally “Rail Road Truin and Tele graph witjx-U.H. Flags, F.ugle,” A:c. A train of consisting of Locomotive, 'fender, Trad Passenger cars, ran from one arch to tho other, a distance of bd feet, while on the top was seen tho telegraph wires surmounted by tho American Ragle. This piec * brought forth a perfect storm of en thusiasm from tho hundreds of human be ings gathered around to witness the display, and all seemed to leave the grounds perfect ly satisfied with tho entertainment and grateful to those who had tho management of affairs in their hands. Before doting this letter wu will first briefly refer to ibo all-übsorbiug (lo a Lan casterian) subl -el of beer.

A special correspondent ol tho Baltimore Gazette, writing from Washington nnder date of July 23d, says • Of late years our “progress of civiliza tion ” has been such that now tho most com mon-place matters aro conducted upon puroly transcendental principles Former ly the “Blue Book” contained tho name and amount of salary of every Federal officer—legislative* or executive. But this olllcial register has become n mere means of concealing from instead of exposing to public gaze the expenditures of the Gov ernment upon its officials, or utioflicials, as the case’may bo. und who those public beneficiaries really are! Hundreds ot men tsuch as tho negro Menard, for example) huvo been paid out of some clandestine fund, as mythical mem bers of Congress, (having no pretensions to seats) salaries approximating those of real members, and countless hundreds of hanp ors-on in the purlieus of the Capitol have fattened upon what is called tbe “eontin gent” fund—performing or not performing services—real or imaginary, which no law recognizes and for which no law provides I recompense. Iu the Executive Department tliis class of unofficial officials has assumed fabulous proportions. Not a claim of con sequence is now allowed by any Bureau betore being submitted (not to the law offi cers of the Government', but to outside at torneys for adjudication.

This phrase in the financial management of public affairs by the legislative branch of the Government is equivocal enough, but not comparable to wlmt Is observed in the Executive. IleiuUof Departments und heads ol Bureaus are entitled to receive, by law, and so are put down in the “Blue Book,” from three to eight ihou-mtul dol- lars per annum each, »c<s>rding to guide.

Even in Pennsylvania tho Radicals luivo intrusted the leadership ol their party to Simon Cameron, a man of great wealth; a man who made his money not as Mr, Packer, by developing tho resources of bis Slate und benefiting Ins .neighbors, but by speculating in the claims of Winnebago Indians and in tho purlieus of legislative lobbies. Because the Republican parly could enumerate such men among its numbers, ils organs have claimed that it is better thun any oilier par ty, und that it comprised all tho virtue, morality, aud respectability of the land.— Those organs which have supported mostly men of that kind forolfico would have their readers believo that it is a crime for tho Democrats to nominate a man of forlunn for ofiico.

We confess that it would be a crimo for the Democracy to nominate a man for tho high ofilceof Governor who made his money by legislative Jobbing, by rohbiug tho de fenseless Indians of thoir just dues, or hy speculating upon the mlstortunes of his feliow-men. But in nominating Asa Pucker for tho ofiico of Governor, the Democracy of Pounsylvunm have brought forward a man who, ulthough wealthy, does not own a dol lar rnudo by dishonest legislutivo Jobbing, and who, lor every dollar that ho has made for himself, has added thousands to tho wealth of his neighbors and enriched tjlo State.
