Foster opposed the sale of the main line of the public improvements, because such a sale and transfer threatened to impair the influence of the political organ- ization to which he was attached, and drive from power a corrupt clique of office-holders of which be is a member. That bo voted against every movement in the progress of the bill fir such a sale, in di rect violation of tbe expressed will and in structions of bis constituents. KEEP IT BEFORE THE PEOPLE, That Ilenry D. Foster reported for the in crease of legislative pay, whereby the ex penses of Pennsylvania were iocrpased some THIRTY THOUSAND DOLLARS per an num. That he forced his party's power to ex clude the rightful possessor of a seat in the legislature, and in-tate instead a partisan, for the purpose of forcing special legislation, and acts of individual privilege. KEEP IT BEFORE THE PEOPLE, That Ilenry D. Foster repre-sems the nega tive platforms of two factions in a political disorganization whereby be proves his utter subserviency to party and unfitness to pre side in tbe Executive department of a great. Common wealth. He denounces every north era man who has stood up for the rights aud interests of the North, and slultifies himself with praisiDg southern agitators and diun ionists. lie meet 3 the differences in his own par'y, by vituperation and abuse of his op ponents, forgetting that in the present con test all parties but the Republican are coil tending only for place and power. Iu the great struggle for northern protec tion, whereby the industry of the country will be induced to develop the stupendous miueral and agricultural resources of the ca tion, Henry D. Foster is arrayed against every principle and the only policy which ensures the freedom of the public domain by preventing the spread ol slavery. He is vir tually opposing protection to American in dustry by encouraging the fanaticism of the South, and recognizing the asserted rights of the institution of slavery in every State in the Union. lie is opposing the real interests of Pennsylvania by compromising with the corrupt leaders of every ptditcia! clique prominent iu the present political contest. Occupying these position*, aud bound and controlled by these influences, tbe adrninis tration of such a man must inaugurate a sys tem ef frauds and corruptions that would prove disasttous to every business and polit ical welfare of tbe State. His asi-ociation with politicians of the most desperate char acter, and with those who have been the au thors of a large portion of the debt of the State, have placed him under obligations which he would be compelled to discharge, if elected, by abusing aud prostituting tbe patronage of his position. Special grants would consequently become the order of leg. islutiori. The veto power wouid be wielded to prevent the application of a just policy of government, and stay the progressive pros parity of the Commonwealth. Fbe people of Pennsylvania have only a few weeks to satisfy themselves that Ilenry D. Foster is not the man, in a political sense or with sufficiant capacity to preside iD tbe Executive department of this State. They have but a lew weeks to satisfy themselves that their resources and industry can alone be protected and improved by sustaining the men and measures ol the Republican organ ization. With them the responsibility rests. If they fail to support Andrew G. Curtin, thej will also neglect to sustain a Republi can delegation in Congress that was true to Pennsylvania, true to labor and truo to lib ertv. If they permit the legislature to fall into the hands of a corrupt political division, they will lose the opportunity of sending an honest man to the Senate of tbe United States If they allow-Audrew G. Curtin to he defeated, they invite and insist on the re jection of Abraham Lincoln, and surrender all the prospects of northern progress and improvements to tee prejudice, lethargy and licentiousness of a southern slave-ocracy. —The people must these facts and argu ments constantly before their eyes and in tbeir minds, or they will be imposed on by the designing leaders of two farions whose only arguments and justifications consist iu acts of retaliative violence and alternate abuse.— Ilarrisburg Telegraph. We learn that a mesttug of gentlemen opposed to the election of ABRAHAM LIN COLN to the Presidency of the United States, most If nut all of them being Breckinridge Democrats, was held at rcom No. 1, of the New York Hotel, on Tuesday evening last, the 11th inst., at half past 7 o'clock. It is understood that at this meeting New York was given up as hopeless, and that it was de termined to transfer the last desperate efforts and all the spare cash of the party to Penn sylvania. The very liberal subscriptions which sundry great merchants of this city have made, to be paid utter tbe completion of the Douglag'Bell Breckinridge fusion in New-York, are as far as possible to be trans" ferred there. It is hoped to repeat now the great operation of 1856 and defeat the repub lican candidate for Govenor in that State, by some means or other. Let the Republicans of Pennsylvania, then be on their guard. They are now likly tc have much more difficul' battle in October than has been expected.— N. Y, Tribune. - ANDREW G. CURTIN. The enemies of the Republican party, and consequently the foes of the hest interests, the progress and psosperity of Pennsylvania, are devoting their entire force and fund of false bood to the injury and impeachment of An drew G. Curtin Failing and firm in his opinions. He is a man who esteems ptiuciplo above party, and I am proud of his personal friendship " This district may well bo proud of sucb a representative, and the people of the district will endorse the opinion of Com. Shubriek on the 9th of October, Every Republican in the district, however, will be needed to make sure of bis re-eleotion, as the Democratic State ticket last year had 372 majority on a yote small. The necessity of a full vote will readily be seen.— Potter Journal, That class of voters who have a par ticular fancy for votirg on the "Strong Side" will have no difficulty in making up their minds who to vote for in the present contest, " The wayfaring man," 'though a Democrat,' cannot fail to see that our nuble candidate for Governor, Col. Curtin, will carry tbe State by 20,000 majority, and that *Otd Abe' will sweep it like a whirlwind, I HENRY D. FOSTER proves his d&votion to Pennsylvania by refusing to take a position on the subject of protecting her industry and wealth. He declares with a fUurisb, that he is a tariff man—but shrinks from as serting his preference for any of the can didates before the people, who would ad vance the interests of labor, vindicate tho principles of Freedom, or protect the great Iron and coal resources of Pennsylvania.— Is such a man worthy of support in such a crisis ? I such a man ivortby the confidence of the people ? If he is, then has mean desertion of principle become a merit among the peopie of Pennsylvania. If be is, thau have the laboring man and mechanic lost that self regard for their own advancment and eleva'ion, which has heretofore made them potential and powerful in a political canvass. The are willing to take the mere assertion of a tnan instead of the "perform ance of a solemn duty —and they must trust alone to the fickleness of a political organi zation that has more than once deceived and betrayed them, oi they will indignantly reject tho invitation to vote Henry D, Fos ter. Freemen of Pennsylvania the contest for Governor is not a common struggle for the mero elevation of a man. Too candidates ate of the least importance. It is the prin ciple involved, and the great interests which are depending for success on the re sult of that Gubernatorial election. If ll?nry D. Foster is elected, the South will claim it as a declaration in favor cf the in troduction of Slavery into all the territory of the oountry. If Andrew G. Curtiu is triumphant, it will be a victory in favor of Freedom, protection to labor, and the vin dication of the laws of the land in every State in the Union. Won't meet his Opponent. 4Vhen we saw it announced that Mr. Fos ter had accepted an alleged challehge from Col. Curtin to stump the State in company, we regarded it as a mere flurry which would amount to nothing in the end. Subsequent events show that we were correct in this opinion. Like the valiiant Mr. Pryor, who sent the challenge Mr. Potter, Mr. Foster has managed to get out of the Jifficulty by finding fault with with and objecting to tbe arrangements, and thus putting a stop to the whole affair. Mr. McClure, io behalf of Col. Curtin, seut a list of the appointments otthe latter gentleman to Gen- Foster, and cordially invited him to join his opponent in the discussion of the political questions now before the country, at these meetings. They did not suit the Democratic candidate, as it would have had the effect to bring him on the stump at once, which he was aware at this time would prove too hot a place for him. We are therefore, to have no discus sion, for ♦he reason that the Democratic chicken won't fight. When put in a tight place ha is too apt to take to the woods.— Blair Countg Whig, Keep it before the People. That every vote cast for Foster, at tbe State election, is a vote to sustain and en dorse the present wretched ana corrupt Na tional Administration. That every vote cast for Foster is a vote in favor of tha spread of Human Slavery. That every voto oast for Foster is a vote against the Homestead Bill. That every vote cast for Foster is a vote against tbe Protection of American Industry. That every vote cast for Foster is a vote approving of the robberies which have been committed during the past three or four years by Buchanan and his followers upon the Na tional Treasury. That every vote cast for Foster is a vote endorsing the Dred Scott decision, which says that the Constitution carries Slavery in to every Territory of ttie Union. That every vote cast for Foster is a vote against the admission of Kansas as a Free State. That every vote cast for Foster is a vote to strengthen the Slave Oligarchy in thoir de mands to open the Slave Trade. That every vote cast for Foster is a vote to make Joe Lane the President of the United Slates, Freemen ! remember these things when you go to the ballot boxes ! REMEMRER. —That the Democratic oandi date for Goyernor, Henry D. Foster, stands upon a platform which endorses the admiEis tration of Mr. Buchanan as "eminently pure, patriotic, conservative and just!" This is the platform of the Demoeratio party of Pennsylvania. No man who has any respect for himself or his country, can vote for Fos* ter, and thus give his approval to the frauds, the peculations, the extravagancies and the profligacy of Mr. Buchanan's adminstration. TARIFF MEN.— When any Democrat talks to you about being in favor of a Tariff, just point him to the vote of his party at the last session of Congress, against a Tariff Bill.— No tariff man can consistently act with that party. There are one hundred and three Ger mans in Lafayette, Indiana, who have de clared their intention to vote for Lincoln and Hamlin, who voted for Buchanan, in 1856. g®* The Republicans at Occaquan, Va.' have erected another pole in the plac9 of the one lately eut down. EDITORS & PROPRIETORS. NUMBER 39 Pennsylvania the Battle Ground. The Democrats- appear to have abandoned all hope of carrying New York, and Penn sylvania is now the object of their attention. They will concentrate all their energies upon it, lavishing what money they have to spare, to carry it, and will try to re-enact the sceaes of 185 G. PunnsyHania :s to he* the battle ground of the campaign, arid the great struggle wi l take place in October, over the election for Governor, It is well, therefore, that our people era apprised of the iact in season. Now that they know it, they will have the greater incentive to work their iiardost for success in the pre* liminaiy but decisive oonteßt. Much, if not most of tho money contribu ted in New York to corrupt and carry Penn sylvania, will be spent in Phiiadslphia.— Fortunately for the friends of Frerdom,how ever, things are not now as they > wera in '56. Then, every officer in the State House rotv was a Democrat, and it was consequently easy to issue forged naturalization papers by the trunk full; now, every officer but one, in that row, is a Republican, and that game is blocked. Then, too, they had all, or nearly all the election officers, tbe Republican par ty not having been organized until after ths choice of those officers, and it was perfectly easy to make election returns to suit the ne* ceseitiea of the party ; now there is a repre* sen'.ativeof the Opposition party in nearly every election precint in tho city, and that parly has the control of a majority of them. In addition to this, a law of last winter givea them full power to prevent frauda at the elec tion, if they choose to exercise it, as they will undoubtedly do. In this view of the case there ia not (a much reason to dread the advent of these mercenary Demoeratio politicians from New York, who go upon the principle ery man has his price," particularly every man in Pennsylvania. On the other hand, it will be of great ad vantage to the People's cause, if it stira up, as it should do, the workers of the Opposition to watchfulness and zeal. All that we need, now, is activity, lhat insures our sucoess. We not only can, but we must, eleot Cur tin in October. He has gallantly and trium phantly borne cur standard throughout tba State, and we nsdst not see it stricken down in his hande. Wo owe it to the cause to elect hiui by t n overwhelming majority, ani he is no tiue friend of Lincoln who refuses both to vote and to work for Curtin, Friends ! The election of Curtin will ef-, fectually settle the November contest. Our success in October will deprive the enemy of all heart for the November fight. Up then, and to work with a will, and all the more eagerly that the enemy has acknowledged his weakness bo recourse to the last re#nr'— the corrupt use of money. ANDREW G. CURTIN is a great beam in th eyes oi the fusion and anti-fusion press at the State capital. They both delight in showing their tempers by assaults on his pri vate character, in the equivocal expression that "he is of doubtful reputation."
