contest all parties but the Republican are.
conienamg only ior place and power.
In tbe great struggle for northern pro
tection, whereby thejlustry of the coun
try will be induced to develop the stupen
dous mineral and agricultural resources
of the nation, Henry D. Eoster is arrayed
against every principle and the only pol
ioy which ensures the freedom of tbe pub
lic d omain by preventing the spread of
slavery. He is virtually opposing pro
tection to American industry by encour
aging tbe fanatacism of tbe South, and
recognizing the asserted rights of the in
stitution of slavery in every State in tho
Union. He is opposing the real interests
of Pennsylvania by compromising with
the corrupt leaders of every political clique
prominent in the present political contest.
Occupying these positions, and bound
and controlled by these influences, tbe
administration of such a man muit inaug
urate a system of frauds and corruptions
that would prove disastrous to every bus
iness and political welfare of the State.
His association with politicians of the most
desperate character, and with those who
havo been the authors of a large portion
of the debt of tbe State, have plaoed him
under obligations which he would be com
pelled to discharge, if eleoted, by abusing
aud prostituting the patronage of his po
sition. Special grants would consequent
ly become tbe order legislation. The ve
to power would be wielded to prevent the
application of a just policy of government,
and atay tbe progressive prosperity of the
Commonwealth.
The people of Pennsylvania have only
a few days to satisfy themselves that
Henry D. Foster is not the man, in a po
litical sense or with sufficient capacity to
preside in tho Exeoutive department of
this State. They have but a fow days to
satisfy themselves that their resources and
industry can alone be proteoted and im
proved by sustaining tbe men and meas
ures of the Republican organization.
With them the responsibility rests. If
they fail to support Andrew G. Curtin,
they will also neglect to sustain a Repub
lican delegation in Congress that was true
to Pennsylvania, true to liberty. If they
permit the legislature to fall into th
hands ofa.corrupt political division, they
........
will lose the opportunity of Bending as
boncst man to the Senate of tho United
States. If they allow Andrew G Curtin
to be defeated, thoy invito and insist on
the rcieolion of Abraham Lincoln, and
surrender all the prospects of northern.800 to believe that he would protitftJ

At the election in 1S55 for members of
the Logislatnre in the representative dis-
trict oomposod of Clinton, Lvcomioz and
not becauxo there was any fraud in tbo
computation of the number of votas, nor
because there was anv act of viol
committed to intimidate and prevent any
particular number.of citizens fross exer
cising the right of franchise. Mr. Beck
based his protest on the simple fact and
ridiculous argumeLt that in Sharon town
flhip Potter county, tbe election was held
about a quarter of a mile from the usual
place. The old school house, where tho
election was advertised to be held, had
been destroyed, and anew one erected in
it8tead within sight of the ruinaoftbe old
building. There xas no other school hoaao
in that part of Sharon township, so that
there could possibly bo no mistake. John .
C. McGhce had carried the district by six
teen votes sixteen fair majority, thus
securing his election. But John C. Ma
Ghee was a political opponent of Henry
D. Foster, and therefore Mr. Foster de
creed his expuliiou from the House. He
reported, as Chairman of the Coomitteo
of Election, that the vote of Sharon town
whioh stood for John C. McGhce sixty
one votes, and for Joo. B. Beck twelvo
votes, should not be counted. In the en
tire district, Mr. McGhoe had only six
teen majority.
As Chairman of the Committee on E
lection, Henry D. Foster reported in fa
vor of throwing out the vote of Sharon
township, which gave Mr. Beck a major
ity. He had a-clear majority of his own
party with him 00 the committee, and
therefore carried hi report to tbe House?,
where he was sustained by another Dem
ocratic majority. In thii transaction tho
whole character of Ileury D. Foster was
fairly and fully exhibited. It proves hovf
bo lends and bows to the commands of
his party when in a majority. Notwith
standing it was provbu that tbia election
was fairly held, and that the place of hoi-
umg it was puouc ana rally Known to ev
ery voter in the township, and that every
logal voto bad been polled, it wan decided
illegal beoause it was not held on tho -i-dentioal
apot prescribed by the law and
what was more evident, becauso it would
securo another Democratic vote in the
House of Representatives. Is such astSaV
