Mr. PAINE, a Representative from North Ca

had offered him $l5OO if he would — support a
J:niiroad Land Bill which it was proposed to

A: word or two in reference to the election
of Cameron. It was but two years agn that
the opposition, strong; in numbers and possess
ing- unlimited power, indignantly rejected
Cameron as a man unfit for the• place, and
unworthy of their support: Twenty-eight of
their representatives signed a protest against
him, after their party caucus had declared in
his favor ; and five of those who signed that
protest, viz : S. P. MeCahnont, David
.Tag
gart, F. R. Jordon, James J. Lewis, and Gid
eon J. Ball, on Tuesday voted for Cameron
The'protest was as bitter and as just a denun
ciation as was ever hurled against an infa
mous politician. Its bold and startling truths
yet ring in the ears of all honest men, both
of the opposition and the Democratic parties.
It asserted that Cameron obtained his nomi
nation from the Know Nothing caucus by
'corrupt means, that "corruPtion was behind
the throne"—that Cameron was a man "who
has despised all party obligations"—that "as
a Statesman, fame has never associated his
Hanle with the word"—that he was merely a
treacherous and corrupt "old political hack,"
who was remembered by the Democrats.only
as a."traitor," and who had never "disgraced"
the Whig party by supporting its ticket. It
declared that -he was a,"fit reiwesentat ire qf
;wilting good ;,.and aft exponent of no honora
ble prineiple"—and that their "constituents
would_ repudiate with scorn and .righteous - in
dignation h:s election." They said,•'what we
say unto one we say unto all, INVITE US
NOT IN Tm..:RE, TO PARTAKE OF A
BUZZARD'S FEAST. Ask us not to support
a nomination brought about, as we believe,
by the concentrated and 'cohesive power of
public plunder,' and the superadded element
of shilmeless and wholesale private bribery."
Tu the election of Cameron, (remarks the
Pennsylvanian) five of those who signed that
protest, on Tuesday contributed, and the un
scrupulous portion of the opposition rejoice
that a Democratic caucus nominee has been
defeated, reckless of the means; ur the charac
ter of the agents by which that result has
been effected. They thus felicitate themselves
upon the fact that their representatives have
sent to Washington one who is "aft 7xpresen
tatire of nothing good; and a fit exponent nf
no honorable, principle ;" rejoice that they
have disgraced "our kative State," rejoice
that they hare partaken ' s o.f-a.buz7ard's feast,"
and elected one, who, to paraphrase one of
.their own favorite expressions, is "the sum of
all villainies." The peOple of Pennsylvania
will not tamely submit to such a disgrace, nor
fail to visit with -scorn and indignation, the.
authors of it.
But it is not only the opposition members
of the Legislature Who are to blame fur this
result. The Democratic party possessed a
majority sufficient to have elected their nomi
nee, had all its representatives remained faith
ful to their trust. Three members, however,
elected by the Democratic party and honored
by its confidence, have earned an immortality
of infamy by basely betraying their constituents
and their party. They are WILLIAM B.
LEI3O, and G. A. WAGONSELLEII, of
Schuylkill county, and SAMCEL MANE AR,
of York county. All these men attended the
Democratie_caucus on Friday night previous,
and concurred in the resolution making the
nomination unanimous. Mao voted for the
nomination of Col. FORNEY. The honest De-
Law...racy of York and Schuylkill count:es, who
breathed political life into the nostrils of these
miscreants, supposed they were electing hon
est men, Democrats, representatives who
would be faithful to the great cause whose
strength eleeted them. These just expecta
tions have been disappointed. Unon what
pretext awl fur w!lat cause they have voted
for Cameron i 3 plalu tu ail. They have be-
Wive . d the Democracy as Judas betrayed his
aster. They have made Mammon the God
of their idolatry. The tortures of their own
seared consciences may not be sufficiently
pungent to f a rce them, like Judas, to hang
themselves, but a similar political fate will
certainly be reserved for them by their indig
nant constiuente, and their mimes become a
hissing scorn and rePio*ch throughout the
whole. Commonwealth. •
That Simon Cameron owes his: election to
corrupt means no man doubts. , The air has
been poisoned for months past with rumors
of his machinations. His emmissaries oreor•
ruption huye been_ despatched _to- many quar
ters Gf tbe , State, and his friends have boasted
repeatedly that ho had purchased, as meat is
bought in the shambles, enough miserable
money-loving traitors to secure his election.
The Democrats who voted fur him could by no
possibility have had any other than a corrupt
unitive to sustain him.—They know the doeP
indignation their treachery would inevitably
arouse among their constituents. It is im
possible to conceive of any patriotic motive
that could have urged them to vote for Cam
eron. There is nothing in his character; his
principles, his abilities, to win the admiration
or 'secure the support of. any man. He has
had no,other attraction, and could have had
no othiir inducement to hold out, to these men,
than a base pecunihry one, That Cameron
has purchased his election, is the universal
sentiment of all parties. How far the disgrace
of admitting him to the Senate may be avert
ed, as yet we do not know. If the plain fact,
which all men instinctively know in regard
to the means and agencies by which he se
cured his election, can be legally established,
the United States Senate will owe it to its own
dignity to spurn him from that body.—
P uhlic opinion ',will demand that no legal
Means he left untried to balk this debauched
political gamester, and snatch from his hands
the ill-gotten prize which is dishonored by
his possession-of it.
Honest Indignation.
We have never witnessed 'So universal an
outburst of indignation - among all honest
classes of our citizens, and especially in the
bosom of the Democratic party, as is mani
fested at the election of SistoN CAMERON to
the United Stiffen-Senate..
The Keystone Club of Philadelphia held an
indignatiOn meeting on Wednesday evening,
and passed, among others, the 'following res
olution :
Ilesohyd,__That we have not a doubt of the
utter, infamous, and irredeemable corruption
of Wagonseller, Lebo. and Manear, who after
approving Cul. Forney's nomination in 'the
caucus, gave their votes for Cameron in con
vention, from no *possible motive but one
which. appealed directly to their pockets.—
The circumstantial evidence of this fact is
strong enough to carry-conviction to every un
prejudiced mind; and we 'urge it upon the
Democratic representatives in the Legislature,
as a duty they owe to themselves and their
constituents, not to pause until the crime of
these corrupt wretches be-fully exposed and
punished.
A resolution was also adopted denouncing
the course of Ifenry I). Foster and those who
voted for him, for nut sustaining the regular
caucus nominee. •
--11&..We understand that the Demoerata of
York county have called an indignation meet
ing, to take some steps in reference to the
traitor Manear. lie deserves "tube handled
without gloves."
XtEirA Protest has been made against the
election of Cameron in both Houses of our
LegiOature,
Because there was not a concurrent majori
ty of emelt House in favor of the candidate de
clared to be elected.
Because, the Senate did riot comply with the
requirements of the act of the 2d day of July,
18" entitled ''An act relating to the Elections
of this Commonwealt h," in this, that they did
not appoint a Teller and make tt nomination
of persons to fill said office, nor give notice of
said appointment and nomination at least one
day previous to the meeting of said joint Con.
How Cameron . Goes to Washington.
Si►non Cameron goes to Washington the
representative of no principles—he cares not
fur the Democratic party, the Republican par
ty, the Whig party, or the Know Nothing
party—he cares not fur the interests or honor
of Pennsylvania; but he takes his seat in the
Senate of the United States to JOB—to trade
and barter away his vote—upon Land Bills,
and upon any corrupt scheme that will bring
money into his purse. This has been the
governing principle of his life, the power of
which has kept in his train a faithful, corrupt
band of followers.— Pena.
Charitable.—We have heard it charitably
proposed to ask the present Legislature of
this State, to pass a law, authorizing the trio
purchased by Gen. Cameron, to change their
names; because some of their honest rela
tives might be scandalized by being called by
the same name on the same day !

MR. C. MOUL, Dear Sir:-.-According ► o
promise. I should have written to ynu
long before this, respecting the Reaping. ,M•i
chine I got from you about the tirst•of July
last. I must say that I cannot express mysulf
in terns high enough, as a Reaper for cu ;In c ;
grain, oats, grass and clover seed. Ido n:,y
believe that there is any Reaper now
,in list.,
that will beat yours. I have seen McCormick's
Reaper at work, and lean work your Machine
as easy with. wo horses as he can his with
four. I would not exchange my Machi ne c. mr
one of McCormick's, if any person would gi%c
me SIOU to boot, .to say I should make us e
it-: for I think your Reapers perfect Machine
Loth for durability and ease to work with.
