ASTOUNDING DEVELOPMENTS:
OEN. CAMERON'S OPERATIONS TO EFFECT
S ELECTION TO THE O. S. 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

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.

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.

There were 221 new Potelex issued during the year, pay

account of outstanding Aseesament, (tf0.11,) CM 84; and
interest on money loaned out, $9l 92—making the total re

propriated the aura of $641 99, to pay coutiagent expendi
tures and allowances, as per annexed statement, leaving a
balance of $921 ITh to go to the fund on hand January 1,
11412. The twee by fire daring tbapasi year, were 804 AO
heavy as in some former years, yet they IlMiLlOt to an alp
gregate of $1,279 97, which being paid, leaves a balance of
$.lBl 01 on hand January 1,1863.
The last year was gotten over without the annoyance of
an.assaament ; but unless we are more than usually for
tunate in losses, the present year cannot mope an assess
merit, with the small balance remaining in the Treasury.
The Cotaysiey being now over six thousand members
strong, forming an aggregate contributive capital of about
twelve millions of dollars, no fear eta hear, assessment
need be apprehended by the members.
There ware's number of delinquent members, principally
in Lehigh county, stricken from the books and their poli
cies forfeited, which were, however, more than made up
by new and It Is hoped beltermembets, nearly all of Berko

thin Company Las paid nose ene hundred Lhonaind
lam In leases sustained during the last twelve years, which
were, with a stogie exceptiou, promptly and satisfactorily
settled; and without these principles for its guide, no In
surance Company can maintain a standing fur any length
of time, and hence the.necessity on the part of the mem
