but unhallowed coalition bet Ween the rankest

next
modern Whiggery. '"- •
The general election that ' , took' place
after the time of ivhiChiwe have spoken, bears
record to t what we have declared. 1n,1849 by
this coalition, between' Whigg,crY and Nativ
ism, the IWhig vote ag,tinst Francis &Slunk,
for "Govertier, was increased in Philadelphia
from four tofire thousamir. . Thus the" Native
American organization was blended with:the
Whigs; 'and in return for “tho_ tavor," the
1 Whigs Voted for and elected six or s,even Na
tives to :the Legislature: , These are matters
of political history that cannot, with the sem
blance of truth be denied.
Nor did the coalition end, bete in its works,
tit the ensuing session, of the; Legislature,
tiou, Geo. W. WoodWard,whe . is now elan
deied and libelled by , the Whig • press, espe
cially in this . county, was , :t candidqe for U. S.
Senator. The same Native. American Mem
hers, elected by the „Whigs, addressed him a
letter, asking him if he would support a law
obliging 'foreigners td be residents of this
country twenty-one . years, - before becoming
voters, if !they would support and elect him
the - .94;nate. ißeunswered.them promptly , NO.
"Had he dime otherwise lie might' have been
elected. "! What a commentary is this on 'the
malicious; charges now made against Judge
Woodward, and the,Demoeratic party! -
In 1847 General Irvin,the Whig candidate
for Governor, also received the Native vote of
Philadelphia ; in '4B it.was given to Governor
Johnston ;,and in '5l, next October we expect,
hope and ',know he will receive it again. - So
completely has the Native organization become
merged iu the Whig party, that it now is neat- •
ly extinct;living only in name, and deedisua
tained by the potential arm of Pennsylvania
Whig,g,ery:
That the Democratic Party has over fought

J e e n ss dni up en A : ainst the
, „The,ensuing election the first, time
in thehistocy of Pennsylvania that the. people
have, been permitted to vote for and elect their .
Judges. • PrObably" all our readers understand
howthis has been, brought about; —that
in circler to tate frnm the hands of the Govern,
or tike power of uppinting'Judges,.anAmend
ment to the Constitution was necessary; Two
- toniecutiveAegislatures must first
. ttgr, ee' to
the proposed alterition, and then it must be
ratified , * ct 'Alava; vote of the peoPte., •
Thin Amendment wasihus submitted to the
peoPhi;pf POnnsylvania , last fell, and was rati
by hundred -
thousand majority.
;That
_tothe people belongs the power, of right,
to say who shall administer their laWs few will
defiy,- The - apPointing power is a relic of
Monarchy, bearing on its face the evidence of
a distrust on the part of itVadVocates, of the
ability of the people., for self-government.—
This ii;loo plain to 'need argument. - •
Now let see whether Wm. Jessup .was
'found acting With the people, in the declara
tion of their rights in' this matter. On the
fourth day of October last, being on the eve
'of election, two of his sons-in-NW (who by
the way are always the month piece ef 'Teth
er" and his most active men, in thil county)
repaired to the Re i Tister (Whig) office, in com
pany with the most servile tool of the Sus
quehanna Blink dynasty, and dematided to See
the votes, which had not then been distributed
through the several election districts.- The
acting Editor, Mr. Sravitart Fttuza, pointed
'to' them; all being Printed for the . Amendment, -
none against, it. They Orderedhim to cut off
and destroy . them; he refused to do so.--
Whereupon They did it themselves, and distrib
uted- the tickets without any Amendment,
votes for the usii of their party..,
It is worthy of remark that the Editor, Mr.
Fuller, immediately proceeded to print other
votes for ` tlie Amendment which were imme
diately' distributed,-thus spoiling their game.
We have understood that the excuse put forth
by the gentlemen was, that they had heard
that the " DernoCrat Office" had riot printed
any votes for the Amendment. If this was
their excuse, it was a mere subterfuge, for we
can prove that A. Chamberlin, Esq, who was
one of the aforesaid party, came to our office
that same morning,' and asked bow our rates
were painted; and we informed him that they
were then distributed, 4 for the Amendment
We state these facts as they occurred and
as Mr. Fuller, their own Editor, will bear us
evidence if they are denied. And further than
this, on the day Of (Action, to. the personal
knowledge of our citizens, the son of Hon.
Wm. Jessup' " William the find bylineal de
scent," labored all day tit the pollS A g ainst the
.Amendment, being 'very eloquent in behalf of
the appointing power, and against the rights
of the people.
Now "straws show, which way the wind
blows;',' and does any one suppose that the
family of Wm.' Jessup,' to say nothing of his
"friends," would have laid aside common mod
esti .nd'initlicly bCtraied such great anxiety,
in a manner,-too,calculatedio affect " Father's
interests" so deeply before the people, had not
" Father" given his Consent. How can we
come'to any other conclusion than that they',
echoed his sentiments and acted under his di
rection 7- • • .
Our readers may inqnire for the object 'of
`Hon. Win...leiSup in striving to defeat the
Amendment. • I'Vhy it is very plain. , Ile had '
just been appointed President Judge of this '
Disttiet'for p second 'term of ten y e ars: If the
Amendment should carry he Could not hope
to be elecleiin.thisdemocratieDistrict. , This,
then, was his object, to thwart the will of the "
people and hold his seat op the Bench. Prob
ably he, never , thought then that anybody
would, be wild enough to , tun him for the Su
preme Bench, where ho is destined tole worse
beaten thsn - could be for President Judge.
We pause and ask the people of Susque:
hanna county, and-the State whether they will
now go to the polls and deposit a ballot for
Wm: Jessup, When oneyear ago ho was found
plotting, descending even to low intrigue, for
'the purpose of defeating a • darling measure_ of
theirs, and to -keep from then/ the right of de
ciding-who shall administer the.laws of:their
country, awl justice between man and man?
Will they eleinfe hini to the 'seat even higher
than the one he 'sought to hold in defiance Of

• President Judge.
We are happy to see the universal satisfac,
tied find . gridification with 'which the 'heroine
tion for VieSidentladge is received.: We are
particularly gratified, because of the disaffec
tion existing in other quarters, and because of
the merits of the candidate in point of ability
and other qualifications' that equally adorn that
stntionr7the Ben-ch.
There are other reasons why, we are pleas
ed at.tholirospect before us in reference to
this nomination. Those who have opposed
the" electien of Judges by the people, in this
Districi, 7 --whe have 'feared and trembled at
the idea- of having the merits of a candidate
for Judicial &more canvassed by the people;
—Who all at once Were horror-stricken at the
thought of having that office filled by political
parties;—who would have the. Judiciary inde.
pendent of and in no wise accountable to the
people;—all" these, in this District,' now see
others. " laugh
.when their fear cometh,"_ as .
they point to a man who was nominated unan
imously, and: who will prdbably be unanimous
ly elected.• Si:Wynn - occurrence cannot be very
refreshing to those opposers of the Amend
ment, who didn't see their Hero even unani
mously appointed two fears.ago
In reference to Mr. Witnicrr, we can say
nothing that, will not appear superfluous. 'He
is so well 'known, personally or by repute, to
every man, woman, and child, in this District,
that the people are just as well prepared to
cast their ballet to.-day'aS the second Tuesday
of October. He is universally regarded as it
man of eminent intellectual attainments, pos
sessing
amply the : ability to adorn any station ',
I to Which the partiality of his fellow citizens
may call him. Tho Bench, has long enough
been unadorned by men who lack a grain of
common sense if not found in "the Books," and
the varied talents that Mr. Wilmot possesses,
we think will, add much,. that has heretofore
been wanting„ to that position. •
The elective Judiciary is an experiment, the
success of Which'depends almost entirely upon
the action of the people. They should guard
with jealous care this important branch of
government, strive with all diligence to keep
it pure, making talent 'and learning the all im
portunerequiSite for the Station. They shoUld
also choose men whose.sYmpathies are with
them; who have mingled freely .among all
classes of community, that they may appreci
ate the prejudices and passions of human:-na
ture, and be better prepared to discern the
Circumstances and-motives that influence men
niid their conduct. "
The Representative Conference.
In another column we publish the proceed
ings of the Representative Conference held at,
Laeeyville on Wednesday of last, week. • The
nomination of 'Mr. RECISHOW will be received
with universal, satisfaction. 1 .31 r. IL represen
ted this county in the Legislature last winter
in an able manner, end to the satisfaction of
his constituents. At Harrisburg he made
himselflyery popular with his fellow members,
and possesses in an eminent degree thOse,qual
ifications that make a popular and efficient
Legistator. - •
Iflrtzar is well known to the- citizens
of this county, is universallY esteemed and re-.
spected for his many Amiable qualities as a
gentleman; and is likewise distinguished .for
his 'comet, business habits and 'experienee.—i
A man ofuntiring energy, he is ever. at his
post, and having the advantage of a good edu- ;
cation united with much experience in refer
ence to men and things, ho will most certainly
be an ornament to the station for which he.
has beeri.desiguate4.
In the-Legislature we want honest, capable
and diligent men,—men who will work, work.
for the interests of their immediate • cnnstite
ents„while thOy keep in View the general good
of the State:. ;To an, eminent degree, we have
in the candidates named just those men. We
r ustily feel like - congratulating the people , of
the District on a selection sb fortunate, -and
I prophecy their:elcoilon, though Wo, Make no

They are men every way qualified,and %ire feel

regret; exceedingly that Our sister I.Vy
owing, through her Conferees, ZaWfit'to With

upon the conduct -of those Conferees, as judi
cious or Welfadvised, and we much' mistake
the Derhocrecy of Wyo Mini if `they!. sustain
thern in doing's° under the eircezhatences.-'— ..
Moat clearly.they should,have went into eon

This, we undenstand, they did. not do ; = bet on
the sespicioli! of intended injustice, in their
view, they refused alike their assent to fair
arrangement nod honorable offers. -

we before said, they,Chuhl not 'a,gree,, proprie
ty and good faith would dictate that the mat
ter Shoulil have been left to
4 faithful determinatiOn' to abide that decision,
else of what avail is an arbiter in any disputed
matter.
We cannot, then, look upon the action of
the Wyoming Conferees with any degree 'Of
,allowance. .They had ayight to refuse the
offers of Sullivan if they chose, but they had
no right to refuse, after that, to go into con
ference and submit their claims to Susquehan
na. If the'principle upon which they seem to
have acted should be - .'earried'outin our,or any
other party, therelEconid be no suck thing as
,organization or concert of action, without the
anomalous circumstance of all being alike in
feeling. .
The. Conferees of Wyoming acted wrong,
and we aro confident will come to that
conclusion when they, reflect. Their .coarse
was certainly a disorganizing One,. striking at
the vital interest of the party loCally and gen
erally. ,We have ever admired the Lion-heart
ed Democracy , of " little Wyoming," and we
cannot believe they Will join hands in a disor
ganizing movement, tinder these circumstan
ces. We believe, them true to their party al
legiance, and if so, all will be well because it
will end well as usual' for the' Democracy . of
the District.
Gen: Warner, and - the Bank.
We learn that the iinpression is ;abroad in
the county that. General D. D. Warner, our .
candidate for Associate Judge, was connected •
with the Susquehanna Bank at the failure.—
This is all wrong and'calculated to do injus
tiee to a worthy man . •
In January, prior to,the failure, he purchas
ed of a, Mr. Daniels $4OO, of Bank' Stock.- 1
That Stock he owned 4t tho time of the fail- j
ure, and lust every cent of it. He had no con
nection with the concern, otherwise, while it
was in operation. After it failed (see Bank
Report, page 14) ho, l without his knowledge
or consent, was elected a Director, and notified j
to meet with them, He went to the meeting
and told them he shOuld not serve; .that he
had already been swindled enough and would
have nothing to do with the concern. They
told him that he must pay his line of $25-then.
He told them that they could take his $4OO
Stock, and a five dollar bill which he held on
the Bank, that that N7i1.5 enough for him • to
lose; mid he should not give them - any good
money. They of course refused that,and told
him they should hold him to the election, as
the Bank was getthig odious they wanted a
loco-foco to help ihdre it! This
. statement
can be Proved if disPirted.
By the Report it appears that -ho met with
them afterwards, threelitnes;and then aban.
doned them entirely.' ; Certainly no one can,
hold. him accountable for anything_ connected
with the failure; having nothing to do with it
while it existed. and being himself one of the
I greatest sufferers by the disaser, in the county
His stock he had taken in good _faith and paid
for, as the Books of the Bank will show. .
• We make this statement, not for the pur
pose of screening any one, but to correct a
misapprehension. There are guilty' "ones
enough;. enough who may be justly held ac
countable, inasmuchas they had the manage
ment of the concern and directed its lawless
operations, without censuring an in Docent par
ty?
A Seasonable Word.
Fellow Democrats:—You have but a -short
time to labor before the election. You, have
'an - opposition who am now playing their last
and most desperate , card. That .they have
thrown their principles to the winds
,and are
new intent only on success at ail,- hazards, is
evidenced from the fact that they have filled
the field with bolting; candidates, and are busy
in their attempt to bargain and sell the honest
voters of their-partiffike beasts in the sham,
,bles. Intrigue, dishonesty, is , the disrepute,
ble business at whiqh they aro now engaged.
The Whigs are elated and hard at work.—
They fancy that eneUgh. disaffection can be
raised among Democrats to Jet them; into of
fice. There is but Ono way now for the Dc.
mocracy of Susquehanna to defeat this high.
handed attempt at disorganization. We must
'sacrifice something,.for 'our principles. We
cannot all be ; 'suited; we have
_"a state ticket
though that shOuld suit everybody, and i let ev
ery Democrat remeMber that the success of
that may depend thi time, as two years ago,',
on Two 'HUNDRED 40TE.S. We have not one
