MORE DEMOCRATIC OPINION
OF
MR. BUCXALEW.
He is Not a Candidato Loyal Men Can
support.
From the Phila. Transcript, Democratic
It is truly wonderful that a man with
a record like that possessed by Charles
It. Huckalew should have the effrontery
to ask loyal and honest men to cast their
votes for him. Wc do not consider it
our province to say anything about his
persoual reputation or habits, or to criti
cise his well known ungubernatorial ap
pearance ; but it is our duty, as well as
our pleasure, to condemn his political re
cord, and to express our wonder at the
cool impudence of the man iu consenting
to run as the Democratic candidate for
Governor and we have the more satis
faction in doing so because our local con
temporary, the J'ress, and other partially
Republican papers have, in carrying out
their programme to defeat General llart
ranft, carefully refrained from saying a
word in opposition to his competitor.
Mr. Buckalew has not a single claim up
on the suffrages or the sympathy of the
people of the Commonwealth. His re
cord during the rebellion was most obnox
ious to patriots, most disgraceful to him
self, and we are not yet willing either to
forget his aCiliatiou with traitors, nor to
grasp his hand across the bloouly chasm
of which his friends have so much to say.
He is, we are aware, striving by sophistry
and eloquence to excuse his many mis
deeds, but he has been so many years be
fore the public as an office holder that it
is useless for him to try to convince the
voters of the State that he is any more
loyal, patriotic, honest or consistent than
they have given him credit for. There
is uot a Penusylvanian who shouldered
his musket iu defense of his couutry who
does not remember Mr. Buckalew as a
determined opponent of all measures pre
sented for the suppression of the rebel
lion, and there is not a citizen who, dur
ing the war, aided with his money and
voice in securing the restoration of the
republic, who does not regard him as one
of the most bigoted adversaries they had
to encounter. He, as United States
Senator, opposed every measure tending
to the suppression of the rebellion; he
impeded, in every possible way, the work
of reconstruction, except upon terms ac
ceptable to the traitors : he opposed every
measure calculated to secure the political
and civil rights of the colored people ; he
opposed financial measures which were
necessary to secure stability and cou
fidence and to protect the national credits
and be proved himself a reuegade Penn
sylvauian by voting uniformly agaiust
protection to American industry.
Examination in detail shows how out
rageously this chronic seeker after office
and tricky Democratic partisan misreore
sentcd a loyal State during the war, and
proves how totally lost be is to all dc
cency and honor. When he became a
candidate for State Senator ho ran in a
district the majority of the people iu
which approved of his political course,
but when he presumed to the nomination
for the chief magistracy of the Common
wealth, even Democrats who could not
conscientiously indorse his past seuti
ments, held up their hands in astonish
ment at his impudence. Four years be
fore the day of nomination eccic of the
prominent leaders of the Democracy had
declined to be considered on terms of in
timacy with him, among them Senators
Wallace and Randall ; but so powerful
are the bonds that unite Democrats when
they ruu for office, that now his late
enemies eombine with his friends iu their
endeavors to secure his election. And
we have before us the disgraceful fact,
that laboring with this Democratic com
biuaticn is The Press, a journal which
owes its present financial status to the
support given it by the Republican par
ty, and which pledged itself to support
Gen. Ilartranff, "a good soldier and a
worthy man," if he was selected by the
State Convention, but which, on accouut
of personal reasons, alter the convention
was helJ, falsified its pledge, and lias been
laboring since to elect Mr. Buckalew.
As an oGce seeker Mr. Buckalew has
had no reasou to complain of Lack of sue
cess, rroiueany manhood to the pre
seut time he has been an obsequious sup
plicant for favors from his political friends,
and from the National and State treasuries
have been transferred to his gaping pock
ets ten of thousands of dollars. Asanecon
ouiist and an honorable (?) State legisla
tor he has a record, too, which has only
to be investigated to show how much the

other emblem to denote their sympathy
with the South, he then gloried in the
fact that his opposition to the Union causo
was properly appreciated by his political
brethren, and greeted with approval the

that of Jefferson Davis. . His failure to

Address of the State Central Cnmmittee.
The llepulican Stata Committee desires
to impress on the mind of every Republi
can the great importance of the October
Election iu this state, in settling the re
sult of the Presidential Election which
follows close after.
The grand and decisive result of the
North Carolina election have had 'reat
weight in settling that result : the srlorious
and overwhelming majority of 20,000 in
ermont has added materially to that
weight ; and the magnificent victory in
Maine has also contributed largely to it: but
it remains for Pennsylvania to-turn the
balance and bring down the scale on the
right side.
No election results in any previous
campaign have ever inspired the people
anu nervea ineir Hearts tor effective fb'ht
as have the victories won by our friend
in North Carolina, West Virginia, Ver
mont, and Maine. In spue of defections
from our ranks and the noisy energy of
the enemy, roused to new efforts by the
treason of the discontented and disappoint
ed men who have left us, the result iu
each of these States shows conclusively
that the great heart of the people pulsates
as truly aud as firmly as ever.
Frieuds ! we must emulate their
example. We must not lose or throw
away what they have won. The great
battle that is yet to come, is to be fought
here, and the earnest desires of our
political friends are now turned toward
Pennsylvania. Let us not disappoint
their hopes, but prove ourselves worthy
of their confidence.
No party ever yet carried Pennsylvania
in November that was beaten iu October ;
and uo party ever carried the Presidential
election that lost Pennsylvania. If we
expect or desire to elect Grant, therefore,
we can do it only by electing our state
ticket in October. Upon the election of
Ilartranft, depends all that is involved in
the Presidential Election. Let uo ona
lay the flattering uuction to his soul that
he can help to defeat Ilartranft, and yet
hope to save Grant. It cannot be done.
It is not in the nature of the things that
it should be possible to do it. Wc must
wiu the October fight, and break through
the first line of tho enemy before we can
hope to carry his second line by assault.
And success is clearly withiu 'our grasp.
Our intelligence from all parts of the stato
is of the most encouraging character.
From every county comes up the cheerful
tidings and promises of better results than
we have usually attained in such contests.
