SENATE! Statement of T. Jefferson Boyer, Member of Assembly from Clearfield . County. To ,in Editors of Me 'Patriot and Union es many ruenoreare shoat in regard to certain transactionewhich took place between General Cameras aid myself on several occasions pre vious to the late election of United States Sena tor, I think it my duty to make a plain, uovern• ished statement of the facts, so that there may b e hereafter no misunderstanding or misrepre sentation. Believing that there Would be attempts to bribe members in order to defeat the election of a Democrat, I conceived the project of putting myself in the way of the operators, and try log hew tar they were disposed to go in the matter Once conceived, I determined to act, upon it, and cemmunicated my intention to several friends The first opportunity that tatted I embraeate. and here is the result: t tied beets to Philadelphia, and on my return I perhaps a week or more before the election, met. Me. Wm. Brehm., of Lewisburg, with whom I was acquainted, at the Penneyhotels House, in Ibrrisburg, fur the first time this winter, and noticed some unusual nervousness on his part, and from his conduct was soon led to suspect that his business at Harrisburg was not of a very goblin character. In the afternoon he came to the and asked to see me privately. and we pro ee .,,,t e d at once to my room, where he very soon commenced disparaging the several prominent I):tnuccotio candidates for United States Senator, and catetuded by expressing his decided prefer ence :ur Gen. Simon Cameron. This, of course, left me no room to doubt the object of his visit to the ream Capital and to o'e, and I at once asked him whether that was the object of his visit Ile said it was. In reply to my question, whether General Cameron authorized him -to come to me in this way, he said he was author _ led by Cameron to see any Demoorat of the House de Senate, and enter into the preliminary arrangements to secure a vote for Cameron. I then asked him in what manner they expected to secure tee election of Cameron. He answered, "by getting three Democrats to absent them selves on the day of the election." I then asked him what they Would pay, He said he was au thorized by Cameron to offer $5,000. I told him the figures were too low, and desired him to tell me who the other members were. Thie.he refu sed led° at the time, bat would try and lea permission of his principal. to do so. He then left, and:returned in a short time, and,ssid that General Cameron wanted to see me, personally, at his residence out of the oily that evening. I told hilt I could not make the.engagemeht,,but would' atelier him . ' in one hour, and if I could get clear of another engagement I had made, I would go With him. In the meantime I eoneulted with 11r. Earley, of the Lioite of Itepeetteada,- tires, my oeileasue..to whom I related the fore. going facts. I then saw Brobst again and told him I would go. He told me he would have a carriage ready in front of Heri's Hotel at seven o'elook. ; that he was authorized by OSAMU le get a carriage it any time. When the time ar rived, Dr. Earley and myself walked down to Herr's, and 'law the carriage and Brobst there, I then made some excuse to Brobst, and told him it would be beet not to go, (I deemed it prudent at this state of the proceedings nut to manifest too much eagerness;.lest I might defeat the object. in view.) The next day. he (Brobst) called and said Cameron wanted to see me at the State Ca pital Bank. I called, and was ushered into a back room of the bank, and found Cameron there alone. He addressed me as follows •• Boyer, do you think yen could have courage enough to vote for me?' I answered that it was a very business-like question, and that it would depend very much on circumstances.—lle then said, "suppose the circumstances are' all right !" asked him how he meant "all right.' He an awered " the financial consideration ; in short, the dollars and cents." I answered him, " cer tainly:" He then asked me what I would take. I told him I had not been in this business long, and did not know exactly how to answer, but wished him to name the sum. Ha asked what I thought 0f.*10,000, "right down, after the work was done." I then asked him whether he wanted a vote or an absentee. He answered, "a vote," and that it would be very troublesome to get the men away, and wimp, he only regarded the money paid as the first 'instalment, and that be felt is duty bound to take care of the person that made him Senator afterwards, Dad, if he had so many to take care of, it would embarrass him, but if he had but one, he could do it well and profitably as long as we lived; and said be side there would be no more danger in voting directly for -him than it being absent, for they would make every provision for the protection of the masathat would vote for him. This ended the interview, and we agreed to meet again to fix the compensation. The next day he sent Brobst for me, I declined going to see him. bar agreed to see him at my room, rio. Id, Pennsyl vania Rouse. Mr. Brobst, who was still, up to this time, figuring for Simon, front after him, and in less than twenty minutes returned with him. Cameron then said, "Well, let's come to an understanding_" I said, "What for ?" Ho an awered ; .•Inreferenoe to the senatorial question." 1 then said, "1 must have $15,000." tie said, I will give it," and wanted to know who I would prefer to arrange future interviews and do the financiering of the business. I told him my lim. ited knowledge of his frienis did not enable me to n a me that person. He then proposed Jim Burns. I bald he would do. He then left, stating that he was going to Philadelphia to arrange another matter Which ffe; had in view, and would return on Saturday evening. This was on Wed- nesday- Ott-Tburedey I met John J. Patterson. He de sired to see me, and asked me to call at his room at Herr's Hotel. When I met him, I asked him where Burns was? He told me he was sick. He then said, "Boyer, the money will be all right." 1 asked him, "What money ?" He then said, "Oh, I know all about it; I saw Cameron," (1 intuit not forget to state here that, prior to my meeting - Patterson; Er dtst: told me Patterson wanted to see me on - that business.) and, by Ca meron's arrangement, he would go down in the CAMP on the Lebanon Valley road on Friday, at 2 -o'clock, and that we would go together and setts the entire affair . We met according to arrangement, and, in the baggage apartment of the New York. car, con chided the bargain for $2O 000 for a vote for General Simon Cameron for the office of 11. S. Senator, with the agreement that no other mem her should be brought, and that this should end the matter—provided Cameron would agree to the terms, and deposit the money in the hands of Patterson, to be paid to me immediately after the election was over, and that the two members (with whom Patterson said Ctuiteion was also in treaty) who were in the cars on - their way to Philadelphia, should return on laturday. We considered the.. fact. - f celhotti,•• were IL sent °- the Howe -into ttn eitoto_u, And ours, .44ieente* -- could -not be consummated. This statement seem• el to determine his mind in fayor of the arr.:n:o=Al; Patterson went Immediately to Cameron, .who was in the car, and returned in a few minutes, stating that, although Cameron re eirde4 Ofti price big, he would pay it in order to save further trouble, and would, therefore, not say anything to the members then on their way to Philadelphia, and that they might return, and thus prevent any disarrangement of the plan that might arise from their absence. Saturday evening was then agreed upon as the time for the next interview. I atopped at Reading; so did Patterson, who returned that same evening to Harrisburg. Cameron went to Philadelphia. I came up on Saturday evening, and found Cam eron on the train, as well as at least one of the met who went to Philadelphia the day Were, eat I think both. At the depot at Harrisburg I m tt. Patterson, who said the interview would be at Don Cameron's. Accordingly Patterson and myself went direct to the house, and found the Gmcral there ahead of us. Ile invited us up aim and, by a dismal light, we agreed upon the price. viz: Cameron assented to the bargain between Patterson rind myself by agreeing to pay the $20,000-41,000 of which was to be paid in hand—land would deposit it in Patterson's hands iu my presence at smite future interview, subject to my inspection; A little incident which oc curred- here fit would be is pity to lose 'o the world. After the bargain wee coholn.led Simon n'raightenedoip on hie chair, rubbing his logs with his hands, saying, "Well, this ends it. I wilt be Senator. and yku shall cover regret. L"— (addressing himself tome) —" I ivilr he the moat powerful man in that 'Senate ; the entire state of liffaire of thie laOrertnuent will be changed; nothing is more certain then that the South will gain her independence, (this sounded like trea son,) and then' we will hold the control of the Government. and 1 will be able to serve my friends;" and so we parted again, to dream of Southern Confederaciee . and Wintiebagoes Senator. .Patterson and I then •agreed to meet on Monday. •t: We met at 5 o'cloCk, in Patterson's room tit Herr's, on Monday afternoon. Here Patterson told me he bad the . $5,000 hand money linked up in the sofa down stain?, bat wanted me to see Simon again before paying it over to me. I in slated on the hand money. Thie I iltetnetinsces sary to keep up the delusion. We then part etitti meat at the same place early the nextonorning. Immediately after breakfast, on Tuesday, (the a 4 of the election,) I met Pattornon,..aneording to agreement, at his room, Simon being present, lying on the bed, o onplaining of a disease of the bowels. It was then desired that I should see some Republican member of the Senate or House, who would be sent to me. and inform him of my williugecas W ynte for Cameron in Cage he was nominated. To thin I made some pretended ob jection and dematided to know the necessity for it. Simon said it was thin, that unless I did this they might think he just wanted their d—d nom ination for effect; which was not true. He de- Clared he would not have the nomination and a defeat for-the Whole Legislature. So. of course. I consented, and-the voting price was voluntarily raised $5,090. Patterson said the gentleman 'who would wait on mdthere was Dr. Fuller, of the Senate, who . would be present as noon as I was ready to receive-him. I said that was all right, but must now be convinced that the money Iran all right too. Patterson then hurriedly abused int a large bundle of notes, which lie represented as being the amount or the finaipay mutt- lie assured me tile day before I should 'have the hand money, and again on Tuesday morning said I could have it. I told him I deemed it better, on reflection. not to have it about me, inasmnch es there, might. be a row after the election, anti Slid I would trust it. to them, (Patterson and. Cameron,) knowing them to be honest. Patterson again assured me the hand money wag down in the safe..and, together with the residue, should be forthcoming as soon as. the election was over. (I may here state it did not come) Cameron then said his carriage would .be at the State Capital Dank after the election, and i should clinic right down and go over to his lime anti remain there awhile, This, of course, I agreed to do, (hot did not.) Now, then, all things being arranged, Dr. Ful ler was'rishered in by Patterson. The introduc tion completed, I said: "Doctor, I presume I understand the object of this interview. " He thGg said: tt l.ain chairman of a Committee ap pointed byl the .Republican• caucus toe wail on you to see whether you would vote fot Cameron." I said t. Fes ; I assure you that if you nominate Ode. Cameron (pointing to the old Winnebago lying on the bed) it will be all right." Ile said: " You give me that 'assurance?' I said " Yee. " Dr. P. then said: tt You need have no fears of personal danger, or anything of that sort. We have made every provision to meet all danger." Thus the last scene in • this strange farce ended. Simon assured me that he would be ever grateful, and hope Ito will. It is proper here to sarthat during this entire adventure with Simon - and his agents, mypol league, D. Earley, W. A. Wallace, the Senator from Clearfield. and Robert Vaughn, the proprie tor orthe renneylvanits House, in this city, were in, the secret, and Dr. Earley, especially, knew oonstently what was going on. in one of toy interviews with Patterson, on the mitts' going to Reading, he said in case there should any investigation grow out of the transac he would be the only witnege, that knew anything about IL, and be would swear. falsely . And put it through. - 'ln regard to the dates given in the above state ment, as I made no, memoianda at the time, I amulet be certain that they are correct, but I believe they arc T_ TJEFFMRSON DOM, CARD OF F. W. HUGHES, ESQ. TO MY DEMOCRATIC FRIENDS PENNSYL- MANIA. The sympathy enlisted in my behalf, because of the Abolition persecution through which I bare passed, and m) known. views in regard to the future of our afflicted and misgoverned coun try has eroked expressions of regret for my de feat in the recent contest for United States Sen ator. Let me assure you that you have but little occasion for any regret on that account, but great cause for congratulation that a gentleman of such surpassing ability and sound Constitu tippet and State Rights views as the lion_ Charles S. Backalew has been selected. I have had comparatively little other feeling or anxiety on the subject of my election, than that perchance I might in the position sought, be the humble instrument under Providence in serving my na tive State and our common country. I believe that God has engraven on the face of this Western Continent, so legibly that all should read it, that the territory from the mouth of the Mississippi to the head waters of its tributaries, as well as such as flank this space and afford outlets to the Atlantic end Pacific Oceans must be forever governed so- as to confer on every part free commercial intercourse throughout the whole, anti unobstructed navigation of its inland waters. So too, such country should always he provided with means for common defence and "to promote the general welfare." The Union as it. was and the Constitution as it. is, would best accomplish all this, if Abolitionism would permit. While our national glory would be best pro moted by the preservation of our present political relations with the New England States, yet if they will insist upon the destruction of the Union by the subjugation of the Southern Staten or by their separation from them, I am ready to yield to the latter rather than to the former a' such alternatives. The New England States constitute the seat where the doctrine of Secession was first asserted, they are the hot-bed in which has been propagated •all the heresies that have produced national discord—they are our rivals in commerce and manufactures, and the sacrifice of submitting to their separation from us would be much less than that of our separation from the great South I and West. It is impossible for the Western States even to permit the control of the mouth of the Mississippi to be-lodged in the hands of an independent - government. Their destiny is inea orabiy linked with a free transit through the great inland navigable waters that river and its tributaries afford The future ,prosperity of ronusylvank is alike dependent on her eonnexion with the great West. Without professing to know the views of Mr. Suckalew on these points, yet my confidence iii his devoted patriotism and comprehensive states manship gives me assurance, that be does not essentially differ from those above strata- .1 know that he Gendarme the Constitution and Union destroying policy or the Abolitionists. 1 am quite confident he agrees with me that the MOS cures and policy now directed by Abraham Lin coln, more than any other, have brought us to our impending ruin. He hag the ability to pre sent in the—still the Senate of the United .Ititatee, the solemn protest of Pennpylvania against these measures and policy, and I trust the courage and energy to see that such protest is not in vain. There is yet abundant work-for the tree men of Pennsylvania to do, to protect her true inter ests and maintain the identity of her political and natural bonds. To this good work I shall, as heretofore, devote my humble efforts. F.W. HUGIIO. rUTTIMILLE, January 14th, 1863. THE FOKRIZT DIVORON CASIO —About twenty years ago.

In a suit for divorce Mrs. Forrest obtained a decision giving her $3,000 a year alimony. Mr. Forrest appealed from this decision, and his counsel seat to Cali fornia to find testimony against Mrs. Forrest. Tito Attempt failed, and the appeal resulted in a decision for $4,000 a year instead of $ll,OOO. Since then, the case has been carried from court to court, until last week it reached a final decree, which gives Mrs. Forrest about $40,000 of accu mutated alimony, and theoe.eforth $4,000 a year. John Van Buren conducted the case for Mr. Forrest and Charles Inman for Mrs. Forrest.

By command of Itler.:Gen.. BURNSIDE. Lewis Iticastosu, Asst. Adj. Gen. Tile National Finances---111cssage of the President. To the Senate and House of Representatives : I have signed the joint resolution to provide for the immediate payment of the Army and Navy of the United States, passed by the House of Representatives on the 1411 t, and by the Senate on the 15th inst. The joint resolution is a simple authority, amounting, however, under existing circum stances, to a direction to the Secretary of the Treasnry to make au additional issue cf $lOO,- 000,000 in United States notes, if so touch money is needed for the payment of the army and navy. My approval is given in order that every pos sible facility may he-afforded for the prompt dis charge of all arrears of pay due to our soldiers and ome sailors. While giving this approval, however? I think it my duty to express my sin cere regret that it has bean found necessary to authorize so large an additional Lune' of United . Stites notes, when their-circulation and that of the suimileided banks together have already' be come so indoindant as ib increase prices beyond real value, thereby augmenting the cost of living, to the injury of labor. and the cost of supplies, to the injury of the whole country. It seems very plain that continued issues of United States notes, without any check to the issues of suspended banks, and without adequate provision for the raising of money by loans, and for fanding the issues•so as to keep them within due limits, must , soon produce disastrous conse quences; and this matter appears to me so im portant that 'I avail myself of this occasion to ask'the special attention of Congress to it. That Congress has the power to regulate the ourtericy of the country can hardly admit of a doubt, and that a judicious measure to prevent the deterioration.of this currency by a reasons• ble taxation of bank circulation or otherwise, if needed, seet os. equally olear. Independently of this consideration, it. would be unjust to the peo ple at large to exempt banks etsjoyitig the epeoinl I privilege of circulation, from their just proper lion of the public burdens. In order to raise money by way of loans most eaeily and cheaply, it is clearly necessary to give every possible Support to the public credit. To that end, a ,uniform currency in which taxes, subscriptions to loans, and all other ordinary public dues may be paid, is almost, if not quite, indispensable. Such a.ourrency can be furnished by banking associations, authorized under a gen eral act of Congress, as suggested in my massage at the beginning of the present session. The securing of this circulation by the pledge of United States- bonds, as herein suggested, would stilt further facilitate loans by increasing the present, and causing a future demand for such banks. In view of the actual financial eta barrasemente of the Government, and of the greater embarrassment sure to come if the neces sary means of relief be not afforded, I feel that should not perform my duty by a simple an nouncement of my approval of the joint resolu tion which proposed relief only by increasing circulation, without expressing my earnest desire that measures, such in substance as I have just referred to, may receive the early sanction of Congress. By such measures, in my opinion, all payments will be most certainly secured, not only to the army and navy, but to an honest creditors' of the Government, and satisfactory provisions made for future demands on the tree sury. • AB RA ti A M LINCOLN.
