FRAUD !
FALSEHOOD - Sr, FORGERY !!-
The fraud, falsehotdrd forgery em
ployed-to-create the,apparance of a de
mocratic nomitiation'of D. it.l-pull, for
Congress, would - demand the serqest
dentinciition if Justjee did not lose kit
balance in a fit of laughter at the harle
quin -character df the performance.—
This Jacob's:coated political actor made' •
first appearance for the sCason by a
trial for A Workie nomination—then
nominated himself and others in the,
Whip :.itgus—next nominated himself
alone - through the Columns of - the Re
porter—then declared - his adhesion to
.1
democratic usages, and failed to get hts
name mentioned in any countyp.onven-
tion of the district, and with an empha
tic silence in Bradford, even for the pur
pose of ilcclining—next nom loafed i tn
self by a published letter dated Septem
ber 14th—then stopped our press op
the 24th to announce that sas urater
airy circumstances I cannot render mil
self obnoxious to the charge of attempt
ing to divide the democratic party to
which .1 have all my life been attached,
and thereby giving our common enemy
the ascendancy, I withdraw my name
from the canvass, leaving the issue, in
such d crisis for the 'people to decide.
Hoping success in the great cause
in which we all unite liked band of
brothers, I hold that all minor consi
deratiA s and selfish motives should be
overlooked for . its accomplishment:
I am, very respectfully,

-Really no other Democratic meeting
was , held at Towanda on the 25th o f
September; and •the one figuring in a
handbill printed at the:Whig Argus of
fice, and in the Argus itself for the 28th
is a vile fraud upon the public and
type the men whose names are there
used. It is notorious here that no such
- -4
'meeting took place in any manner, or
form whatever. We have received from
-ELL6I,LANTEER, who is represepted as
present, and acting as chairman of a
;committee to communicate with Colo-
Ael David M. Bull, the subjoined letter:
Monroe, September 28, 1844.
To THE EDITORS OF THE REPORTER :
-=-ID an extra sheet from the office of the
Bradford ,Angus, headed " PROOF," I
find myself represented as chairman of
a committee; appointed at a Democratic
meetings, to invite the acceptance by D.
M. Bull of a nomination for Congress, I
- ,'find that I bave been, most grossly impo
sed on and therefore ask to make a plain
and full statement of the facts.
On Thursday; 26th day of September,
/ was balled on by William Trout and
asked to sign aletter on the part of ade
mocratic meeting, held at Towanda that
day, to D. M:Dull, drafted by Gen. Pat
ton. I "objected, fearing it was some
whig trick, and enquired why it was not
signed by same of the meeting in Tow
anda. It was represented as a large
meeting of Democrats and all right, for
file letter was drawn up by Gen. Patton,
but that it was desirable to have it come
from out of Towanda so as, not to appear
as a Towanda meeting. I still asked
'time for examining, the letter and consid-'
er:ng my coutse, willing to make any
honorable opposition to Mr. Wilmot to
whom I had objections of a personal, not
political nature. :.I was still again 'aim
. red that it was all right, but that n would
take a considerablktime to read the let
ter and that they were in great. haste to
get the proceedings published, Unfor
tunatell I assented ; but on reading the
hand-bill I find both the resolutions and
the lettereontaining view entirely differ-.

In answer . to the inquiry contained

clined, making any reply to this respect
ful inquiry on a point on which the
public hadm right to be informed. Mr.
Trout is a partner in business with
Bull, and- may therefore be entitled to
forbearance. Mr: Case is a Whig, one
of Judge tlerrick's thirty Opel% to the
turn-coat secret circular, and his becom
ing one of Bull's party now, creates no
surprise, except that he is 2shimed to
own it.. It. V. Vuoux, the only re
maining one whose name is used, when
sought was said to be absent, peddling

own writing,) and the Sheriff's deputies
doing , the vending and venditioni ho
nors together in Bradford.
• The honorable manner in which
Messrs. BROWNSON, and , GRANTEER
have disclaimed the imposture, and ex
posed the fraud, is worthy of all praise.

ed;•Mr. Sltunk as,having , - attended a
Catholic Meeting in the city of Pitts
burg, and making a speech in German,
'in which w assailed the Natives and
attempted to excite the 'feelings of for
eignersand,Catholics,against the whigs,
&c. The Whole charge was known by
the citizens of Pittsburg to be false and
unfounded, and was'ito ; treated by all,
whig,e and democrats, except the de
praved characters who hoi , er around
the press that emitted the fabrleation;
The story, however, found its way in
to the Harrisburg. Telegraph, a press of
like character with the American, and
thus it was about to be disseminated,
by such unprincipled sheets, over .'the
entire commonwealth. In Consequence
of this, a friend at Harrisburgaddressed
Shunk, on the subject, and recess
ed from, him the following reply- which
cannot but prove satisfactory to all
who know the character of that upright
arid virtuous man :
PrrTsßuno, t itugust 24, 1844.
DEAR SlR.:—The publication , in the
Harrisburg Telegraph of the 14th inst.
MAY, as you may observe, require some
notice. It is an extract from the Pitts
burg 'American, and purports to be the
substance of a speech made by me at a
democratic Mass Meeting, held at
Broadhurst's in this city, on the even
ing of the 3d of August. THE SPEECH
ASCRIBED TO ME IS ENTIRELY A WORK
of p l excvcx. I DID NOT UTTER A
SINGLE SENTIMENT IT CON
TAINS, AND , IT DOES NOT CON
TAIN A SINGLE SENTIMENT I
MITRED.
Being called upon, that evening, to
apeak to my German fellow citizens in
their native tongue. I made 'a short
address to'. them, in which I alluded to
the causes which tore them from the
homes of-thita youth, and the graves of
their ancestors—from the pleasant Fath
erland upon the Rhine—and induced
them to come to this land of - freedom,
where the power of government is vest
ed, not in Emperors and Kings, but in
the sovereign people. I also alluded
to the questions which at the-next elec
tion for President are to be decided,and
without entering upon a "consideration
of the details, I urged them in common
with all good citizens, to examine these
questions with that care which their
importance demAnded, in order that
their decision might be made with a
view ,to the preservation of our free
institdtious, and keeping sacred in the
hands of the people, the control of the
government. I urged them to vindi
cate the equal rights of mankind. I
said not a word, and did not allude,
directly, or indirectly, to religions dis
putes, or sects, or to the movements of
the Native AmeriCan party,. I appeal
with the utmost confidence to 'every
man who was present, of whatever par
ty or politics he may, be, 'who heard
and umlerstood what I did say, for the
truth of the statement here made. In
this city, where the facts are known,
the publication alluded to is understood
and known, to be a fabrication, an_sl
has no effect, but abroad it may be be
lieved. I have lately seen a version of
it in a German paper published at Leb
anon. Hence lam troubling you with
this statement. Use it as may think
best.
In haste, I am,
Yours respectfully.

We may also state, upon the same Dl

The Colonel has allowed • his perso

Of a mole hill." We happen - to know
something of this matter ourielves. Mr.
Wilinot was urged to go into the con
vention of this county, as 'n candidate
himself, and obtained the nomination of
Bradfot4, over Mr. Read.') When the
conferees met, they could neither agree
upon Mr. Read or Mr. Wilmot, and fi
nally settled upon O. .r. Helms, Esq.,
the conferees of Bradford both voting for
Mr. Hamlin. We were in company
with Mr. Wilmot when the information
was brought here of , the nomination of
Mr. Hamlin, and that the conferees of
Bradford voted for -him. Mr. Wilmot
was evidently as much surprised as to
have heard of the nomination of the czar
of Russia, .and almost i nstant l y prci
tminced the whole proceeding wrong.
He averred publicly, and unqualifiedly,
that the conferees should have taken one
of the names brought forward by the
County conventions, and as Mr. Ham
fin's name had not been brought forward
at any of the County. conventions, he
had no right to the nomination of the
conference ; besides , this, he stated that
Bradford, although she had eipressed
her preference for him, -was decidedly
in favor/of Mr. Read as her nezichoice,
and that his friends ought - to have gone
for Mr. Read as an alternative.
It was upon hearing these remarks
of Mr. i Wilmot, and carrying out the
convictions of our own mind, that we
immediately placed the . name of Mr.
Read, at the head of our paper, "which
was finally done - by all the democratic
