The Ticket.
The importance of every Democrat yielding
to the ticket his support has never been great

ed as a reckless and unprincipled politiclan,—
a person who will sacrifice alike , friend and

ambititiong , Such a man is-Wm. F.: . Johnston, i

i The Whig party, led on blindly by unseiritpu
lons party leaders-, ha's ever been distirignished
for a recklessness' of political; poliey,lf indeed
it can be said to hive any policy at all; They
have been more than for any thing else, noted
for their adherence to wild and visionary no.

the adaptation of those measures to the gov

to have or looked the most important fact,
that our g vemrnent shoidd be.'Adrifirds.ezed

Tud,,cre Jessup—The little Book.
By reference to the "little Book," we find,
"At a meeting of thd company it was un
derstood and agreed that the expenses incur
red in arranging the Surplus Stock should be - ,
paid equallrby the company ; and that a com
mittee was appointed to ascertain and make up
the amount of these expenses; the same gen
tlemen to report also at the next meeting some
advisable plan of holding or dividing the 'sur
plus stock, held by the company, in view of its
remaining SATE FBO3l 13DIVIDITAL r.IASII . ITY, I,
tran.ier in missfor the security of the loans
that hare been made_ to arranging said stock."
Now is this not a pretty, piece of Bank fi
nanciering for Judge Jessup to get over?
Here we find him in secret,' at the head of his
company in the Direefors' zoom of the Bank,
'after having intrigued to ho1d:$90,000 of stock
in defiance of the law, we say we fad hire here
by his OWII record, plotting a committee to,
keep that " stock safe from individual liability;"
in other words, to devise a plan whezgby, if
the Bank should fail; he and his company
should not be made liable on those stock notes!
There you have it fellow-eitizens, who have
been plundered by the failure, just what Wm.
Jessup intended; to hold that Stock; prevent
individuals from holding it in their own right,
so that the bill holders would be safe in the
event of a failure‘ It proves Ind what we
have all, du; while contended, that he eared not
a fig thr community and the rights and inter
ests of his fellow-citizens. It proves this be-.
cause here was a committee to arrange that
stock "so that they, the holders of it, could not
, be Made. individually liable should the Bank
fail And if the Stock Company could not be
liable most assuredly the loss meat fall on
community, for those stork notes kvere good
for nothing if the makers of them' were not
liable to pay them.. • _.
Bow is William Jessup to dodge this con
clushin r How'explain this dark transaction
to community? • It is said thattliere was no
fraud intended. ' We say there was a positive
concerted fraud intended - should thO Bank ever
fail;" community too will sustain what we
say; • , ,
la view- of the above record,", which, let
Judge Jessup deny, and we will exhibit it to
him in bis own hand ivriting. - '
Talk to the winds that there Was no fraud
'intended! Tell ill; Gath'that. Wm. Jessup
was so deeply exercised' for the interests of
community, for ; the , sensible and intelligent
People of Susenehanna can reason for -them
selves, "when they have so plain and undeniable
data from which_ to obtain facts. Hoes any=
body suppose that this community would ever
have touched a. dollar of Siisivehluina Money,
had they known that. Jessup & Co."
held nearly the whole stock of the Bank, in
such a ummier that they could not be made li
able for the payMent--411ich. they had never

Will ask, did he' expect it would ever weather.,

The above - extract from the "little Book"
then shows the" Allen & .Paton transaction
to have been - meant for a sham ; avoiding all
' liability" to let the consequences fall on com
munity just as they did. rtWho but - Wm. Jes
sup, President of the Cotnpany; was the Sather
of the whole concern?, Who, who ?
. Now, we‘say father, that this was not only
a fraud on the public but it was downright
fraud on individital' stockholder& They. paid
their money in good faith, and the whole was
swallowed up in the general Maelstrom, while
the, - Stock Company; hr other words," Wm-
Jessup & Co.' - gave . simply their notes, con
nived to avoid "liability" liahility" to pay them, and fi,
flatl. •
y cancelled them at the Bank, without pay- .
men:. - Dodge it if you can, it is the truth as
you have it recorded. How does it look to
yon .in print, .Judge?
From papers, and extracts from • the Books
of the Bank in our possession, we make-out
the folliming state of things tor the Judge to
digest !—The loan of $60,000 to Allen & Pax
on foe which the Company gave their note, was
never in a condition to be drawn for by. the
Bank. They gave a note for that amount to
Allen
d fi. Paxon, without any coisideration but
a certificate from them for, ono year. They
called it a special loan," (though the money
was never to be drawn for) and allotved A. &
P. one per cent; interest for the ce , commoda
tion of having a nominal balmfoe a bleeding.
conscience. The Certificate was ;stolen from
the Bank i in the absence of the Cashier, Mr.
Kelluni, and returned to Allen & Paxon and
the note taken up. The committee which we
alluded to in the commencement of this article,
in their report to the Company which we find
in the a litt!e Book" state the following among
other items.—" Bonus on $60,000 to Allen &
Paxon, $600." This $6OO, was the one per
Cent. interest above spoken of,-and it was af
terwards paid by the Bank, not by the Stock
Company. The Stock Company then were
subjected to no " individual liability," just as
they meant tOte. :Thus ended the $60,000
with Allen & Posen.
From the Ledger account of Allen & Pax
on, and the Balance sheets of the Bank for the
first month of the year 'A9 and '4O, we make
out the following state of facts, in reference
to the otherloan of $15,000. It.was negoti
ated and about $ll,OOO drawn for at the corn.
mencement pftho Bank. -It was drawn only
fora short tine, and the /lank remitted 'tci Al.
len & Faxon funds in return, with which to
redeem notes, pay drafts &c. No time after
the first month did the Bank have more than
from five to 88,000 of this loan, and within
the first year, the whole of it was paid elf by the
Bank, and the account with' Allen 4. Paxon
dosed.
Thus ended one of the mostflagitious finan
cial operations, ever heard of; alike outraging
honesty, ,and late, dealing, out with a high
hand a most consummate fraud upon this core
munity, the consequences of which were real=
ized at the failure in 1849. A fraud, because
they held out fair pretensions and at the same
time so secured themselves against "individ
ual lis ility" as to let community suffer for
their. sins., -
We intended, when we commenced this ar
ticle to remove the veil. from a certain tams-
action in which the amount of $22,000 was
taken from the. Bank by Wm. Jessup &cot
and afterwards cancelled on the Books thereof.
The Report shows the nice little item, and by
the help of the "little Book" we can decipher
the mystery; which we shall do next week.
After that, if the Judge is not satisfied and
thinks best to continue the war on us, we
shall publish a certain Deposition of his which
was taken in a snit of the Bank- tried in New
York City. • The Judge knows what we al
lude to, and probably recollects, the charge of
the Court in the case! How do you think
that would look in print to the citizens of
Susquelnuma

The Wyoming Difficulty.
Froth the last number of the Wyoming
Demotrat wo perceive that S." S. Winchester,
ELF, who was nominated by that county for
ItOresentative, has takerttho stump against
Mr. Meylert who was nominated in confer:
faience. We regret exceedingly ikat our friend
Winchester should feel justified in taking this
coUrse—in opposition to the organization of
the party and its worthy nominees. We re
gret it because it must result in a deep and
lasting injury to him penonally, nsa political
man, and because it is calculated to arouse
unkind feelings between the Del.toerats of
Wyoming and Susquehanna, to some extent
at least.
There are some things in the last editorial
of Mr. Winchester, that we feel called on to
review. It seems to us that he makes strange
assertions and supports them by strange logic.
We do this, entertaining the kindest feelings
.towards him, and for the. urpose of defending
the-Democracy of Susquehanna, against what
appear to as as
_unkind thrusts and unfound
ed imputations.
First, - Mr. Winchester says: "it will he
seen that Susquehanna ha's made another bold
attempt to trample upon the rights of Wyo
ming." He says another, because the same,
or a similar attempt was made last Year. Now
it may be instructive to refer back to the organ
ization of this Reptesentative District.' Sus
quehanna and Wyoming were classed togeth
er, and entitled to two ..Members. Does not
Mr. Winchester know that Wyoming was not
entitled, by her vote, to either one of those
Members? Does he not know that our frac
tion over the requisite numher for one was
greater than the vote of Wyoming; and that
therefore we might have claimed with - perfect
justice both Representatives? He cannot be
ignorant of this;—he must admit it. And
yet, under these circumstances, with that coun
ty at our mercy,have we ever claimed what was
our right? Have we not given to Wyoming
a Member the whole time, thus allowing that
small county an equaj representation on the
floor of the House with us? Does not every
man in Wyoming county - know this to be true ?
For seven years that we have given to the
county of Wyoming her Member, when we
might have claimed with perfect" justice both
of them, at least' four years out of the seven ?
Mr. Winchester must admit this"; and yet he
talksabout crushing the .last spark of vitality
in the breasts of the citizens of Wyoming,
trampling upon, her rights &C. We appeal to
the sober sense of the people of Wyoming
themselves, and ask them if they mean thus to.
accuse Susquehanna, if they endorse these
criminal imputations against her? They can
not be.guilty of spelt cold ingratitude;—they
cannot be thus unmindful and regardless of our
generosity ! ' -
Such Accusations fall harshly on the ear of
the generous Democracy of Susquehmata,who
for eight long years have given to " little Wy
oming" an 'equal representation with them-
Selves;—.have stood by her in her darkest
hours, and given to their youthful- sister the
strength Of.their pverwhelmine majority to se
cure her a Membei which She -could scarce
elect if left to herself, so nearly is she balanc
ed by a' Whig vote. We ask Mr. Winchester
to re-read that article and tell us if those epi
thets are not unkind..
We can but note the difference in the tone
of Mr:- Winchester's friends now, and at the
first Conference; ever held between Susque
hannaond :Wyoming: They said then, "we
know that we cannot of right claim a Member,
you are entitled to them both ;- but we are
younx 'and Would like to make`a mark in the
Legislature: - and , We throw 'ourselves upon
your generosity." With the sympathy that a
parent feels for a child, Susqueluinna extended
that" getimisity." and has extended it ever
since. Now; when 'another star is added to,
the.constellatiOn r7 hother county to the :pis
trict,—equally aMbitione to make a mark i 3

not hOw she could have done differently With

oyster herself and.left to the disputants a shell.
For the .exercise of generous impulses, she
has incurred censure where-gratitude was due:

-
Why Mr. Wbacliester should make the in
sinuation that the jEditor of this paper who
was one of the Crinferees,wialied to do. him
an injury by appointing - a.suhstitute we cannot
•tell. We certainly feel that it' is unkind' in
,him to do so, for be must be aware from oe-
Currenees in the past that we have over enter
tained none but the kindest personal feelings
towards him. Did we not tell ydu, Mr. Win
chester, when you were in 3lgntrose on Mon
day before the Conference, that business! in
Wayne county milked our attendance there,
and that we 'should be obliged to substitute?
In accordance with that we were *absent when
the Conference , mot,.and substituted Mr. Will-
Lam, known to everybody,here at least, to be
a worthy and amiable man, and. an incorrupti
ble Democrat. We ask of Mr.Wlnehester,at
all hazanis, to do ids friends justice.
. How far the Democracy .of Wyoming will
sustain this disorganizipg movement remains
to be seen. We think the sober dense of her
people will tell at the polls their adherence to
the party and its usages; and virtually say to
their Conferees that they, not Susquehanna,
were in the wrong, inasmuch as they refused
even to do into the Conference on equal terms,
—two Conferees, from each. ounty.
