TIIK GAZKTTK AID THE CLt B.
The editor of the Sunbury G'azcttc n'tempts
to justify the oction of Pewart's Jlnchnnan
Club of this place, or rather the action of a
few men in it, in regard to the resolution for
the publication or the proceedings, exclusive
ly, in the Sunbury Gazette. That the editor
of the Gazelle should justify such conduct is
ueilher surprising or unexpected, blthuiih
there would be no difficulty in proving, that
in so doing, he su.otheied Lis owu liOLe.-t
couvictioiis. The editor says :
"For ourselves, we c.uinot see why the
Club should huve ugreed to publish " their
minutes iu the "Ainericuli." We were at thu
meeting, uud did not vote for or uguinst the
motion, for we then thought that it was of
vey liltle iinportur.ee whether our neighbor
published the proceedings or not. liul as he
has made a 1'uts about thu action of the Club
in tiiis particular, we are disposed to show
that they acted very proper.1)-."
Now we have only to say that w do not
care ono straw for the resolution, and have
no desire to publish the proceedings of any
organization controlled by Major Dewart,
thus taking the place of more important and
more interesting matter.
We made no -fuss" ubout the resolution,
but referred simply to the Major's disgraceful
conduct, who. wu presume, is perfectly satis
fied by this time, that ho made nothing by
I'W motiou.
Hut tho editor of the Gazette says "he did
not vote for or uguinst the motion." This is
uu honest confession, ullhough it does argue
uu utlcr want of manliuesa uud spirit ou his
purt, in rt fusing to vote aguintt u motion that
l:u himseir, subsequently, acknowledged wus
wrong and improper, simply because that
motion was made by Mujor Dewart. Should
the editor deny thut any such uckuowledge
uieut was made, we cau refer liini to un
officer uud prouiiueut member ol the Club,
for the proof.
The Gaztttt also charges upon us that we
take no purt iu the Club. We trust ourowu
self respect will ever preveut us from joiuiug
any organization thut has not sufficient hide
peudeuce to ussert what they uckuowludge
to bo right. For ninny of the members
of tho Club we eutertaiu the highest respect,
and we kuow thut three fourths of them
cuiideiuu the conduct, which the editor of the
Gazette himself, has privately condemned, but
which, pullicly, be dare not disapprove.
If wu have published the roceedings o!
the American uud other conventions, it was
because they were respectful, uud wo were
requested to do so.
We contend thut ony organixatiou is better
thau this rotteu oligarchy of wealth, that bus
for suveral years past assumed, and almost
destroyed the democratic orgauiiutiou in this
couuty, by attempting to force upon the
party, candidates who have neither thu char
acter tir ability necessary to fill the offices to
which they aspire. ; ,
This Club cau I of no service to Mr.
Buchunao in this county, but rather an injury,
if suffered to be coutrolled by one who bos

up smooth as a ribbon. Thut devilish U. wits

so much difference. 1 think pcoplo aro too
pc tickler about names.
Major. A pretty muss you and John have
made of it truly. First yon get Win. II.
Smith to certify that ho is not Wrni. Smith.
Next week you get Win. Smith of Milton to
certify that he is not Win. Smith of Iela-
warn, and did not, therefore, sign the appeal.
The week after, on finding you are again mis
taken, you insinuate that Win. Smith or Mil
ton is a colored man, nud abuse your own wit
neSD by culling him a nigger.
John. Will never mind Major Let us
turn to some more agreeable subject. How.
is it ubout the story, of the boys, tuking you
for Nud liuntliue driving tandem through
the streets. They say when you come homo
from Kuropo, with your imported inoustaclie
you looked very much like Ned, only more so.
Major. Well, I guess we have heard
euough of that subject Tor to-duy.
Jesse. I had likened to forget to teil you

Major (brightening up). Lay it on to him
heavy. Don't bo meuly mouthed whether it
is true or not. Thu idea of a fellow, who
has'nt more money to spare than he has, op
posing a rich man liko me is outrageous, and
must not be tolerated. Hut bow are you go
ing to give it to him.
Jesse. You know lie is ono of the Confe
rees that has bothered ug over since their
appointment. Last Friday they went to Mt.
Carinel, to meet the Conferees of Schuylkill,
but us Iheru wassome misunderstanding about
the time of meeting, us you know, they went
on to Pottsvtlle, ns you kuow, nnd arranged
matters there uud are going to give us a deal
of trouble. But me uud John put our beads
together last Sunday, and hatched up a story
for the Uazclte, that will knock tho spots off
thut Smith story they have got Oil US.

HO. VM L. DEYVAHT.
Under this head the Pennsilvanian of
Tuesday lust announces the arrival of the
model candidate for Congress, ut Jones I
Hotel. The Major's orrivul there every few
weeks is nothing uncommon of lute, but the
Honorable" prefix, is rather t'ikinj; time by
the "fire lock," us a certain editor used to say.
Unless the title is hereditary, tho people
ought to be consulted before it is assumed.
The notice concludes by saying:
'Major Dewart will bo an honor, not only
to his constituents, but u.n ornament to the
nation." That, wo think, is laying it on
pretty thick, even for an 'Honniiibli!." I5nt
this is the first time we ever learned that the
Major was cither "useful or ornamental."
The Mineis' Journal will please note this on
its list of qualifications, and the Sunbury
Gaztlte is most earnestly requested to copy
the entire ui tide.
85?" The friends of Major Dewurt, in this
place, have been endeavoring to create un
impression, that the old liue whigs would
support him for Congress. If, however, we
ure to judge from the following urticlo from
the Pottsville Miuers' Jouruul, the people of
Schujlkill county have been us elow in dis
covering the Major's qualifications, ns they
have been in this couuty. Tho Journal in
reply to some remarks of the Sunbury Ga
zelle, ou this subject, says :
Until our facetious cotemporary informs us
of u fiuglu inentul qualification tilling Wil
liam L. Dowart for the Congressional posi
lion to which he aspires, it is useless lor us
to contrast him with our present ubhi repre
sentative, the Hon., James 11. Campbell.
Thu iiiiiueusurulilo superiority of the latter
gentlemen over the doughty Major, is so pal
puble, that even the recipients of W. L. D.'g
pecuniary bounties, smile whenever a compur
isou is instituted. When you present a can
didate, give us one we cun criticise. The
Mujor possesses not a point we cun get a
hitch upon. We believe he has money and
is '-a good feeder." We will continue a list
of his qualiticutious us thev are furnished.

Trevortox, Sent. 8. le5G.
Mr. II. IJ. Massf.f.
Pear Sir: In your paper of the 30lh tilt.
I notice a lengthy article over the siirnature
of ''Cool Operator," in which thu writer has
evidently made out to his own satisfaction,
that a "uross outnifre" has been perpetrated
upon those that ure interested in thu success
nf tho 'Shaninliin coal fields."
. In reply to "Coal Operator" I hj! to state
n few facts which may disabuse bis mind with
reference to thu "cross outrage." committed
by the psssape of the bill consolidating the
.Mn4iunny and Shninokiu Improvement and
Trevorton and Kusipiehanna liuilroad Com
panies. "Coal Operator" may not b aware
lhat this "New York Company" have nlren
dy invested over $1,(100,(1(10 in this region,
pud that they nro now pivinfr employment to
over four hundred bunds, who regularly re
ceive their wnfrcs in cai-h every month, nnd
have done so ever since the company first
went into operation, no person in the employ
ment of the company ever having received a
"More oilier."
With regard to the improvements made by
the cninpuny 1 need not advert us they ate
fumilliar to "Coal Operator" as well as to the
public generally, und ure las-t inif monuments
lo the enterprise and liberality of tho "Fur
tiijn" freutlemen comprising the ct mpany.
"Coal Operator" states to tho public "that
the Trevorton company haviiin; been abusing
tho privileges granted to them, bv selling
their coal ut less than the'-lofsees" tlid. That
the coul lms been sold nt a less price thnn it
was last yenr. is true, but that it is "offered
nnd sold ot Tort Trevorton at SI 45 per ton"
by tho coiupuny. I pronounce to be u misrep
resentaiimi, us uot one pound of the "Trevor
ton Coal'1 can be purchased at "Port Trevor
ion" ut that price, except, 1 might say, the
lime coal.
"Coul Operator" uIt.o state that the com
pny have scattered their coul ull ulong tho
"West Hranch," this may nlno ho true if the
boatmen who took the ouly load the company
ever sent to that region, and umuscd thoui
selves by throwing it out as they passed
along . ,
With regard to the inMrunientulit v of Mr.
Zimmerman in the pussuge of the hili which
has drawn out the much injured "Coal Oper
ator." J can only say thut ha ling done no
more than his duly in the premises ns he was
required to do bya part of his constituentsand
which was not objected to bv those interes
ted in the Shuuiokin region, in further expla;
nation I may add that tho "lessees": of the
compuny lmd several thousand tons of coal
to receive after the company commenced
hippiirgen their own account, and if tbey
huvo ,uld at low ratus, the injury to tie com
pony hut beon greater Ihuu it could possibly

StiAMOKin, Sept. 9, 1356.
Mr. II. B. Massf.b, '
Dear Sir: In.niy commnnicttion dated
ntignst 2Mh, I made charges against Mr.
Zimmerman of a mlemn and important char
acter. I fully expected that hli friends
would be able in some degree to refute these
charges by gome new evidence or facta tha.t
hod not come to light, but in this I am dis
nnnointcd. Mr. Zimmerman therefore stands
convicted of all these charges, and his friends
unable to extricate him.
Tho Gazcttee has made nn attempt to lift
Mr. Zimmerman nut of the inirt, but every
time John stops to taka a new hold he socks ,
the poor Ksquire in deeper and deeper, John
you should tuke nn active, viyilant hold, for
yon will nml inn r.tqmre a very neavy loati
to drug Hi roil fin October.
Tin? uuKette quotes irom my articio vne
following "Under the old law the lessees
could not or did not sell coul less than $1.75
put in boats nt Port Trevorton, but under
tho new dynasty coal is offered und sold at
Port Trevorton nt 81,45, showing a reduction
of 30 cents on the ton."
Mr. Yonr.gmnn nrguel from this, that the
people of this county should bo very thnnk
fnl to M r. Z., as they will be able to buy coal
30 cents tier ton less.
If tho Gazetto will examine the map of
Northumberland county, it will then find that
which it does not wish to find, or in other
words, it will discover that Port Trevorton is
not in Northumberland county, and if it will
go to the expense of buying one of those nico
new mans ol Snvdcr county, it will thero
discover thut it is tho eood lieople of Snyder
that are crowim? fat over the 30 cents. So
utter all the argument that people of Nor
thtimberluud county should thank Mr. Zinv
merman for passing n law enabling them to
buv coal 30 cents per ton less, is worth
iio'thinsr. unless tho Gnzelte will have the
people of Sunbury, Upper nnd Lower Au
ciisln. nnd the tipper end of the comity, to
haul their coal from Port Trevorton in
wagons But these, no doubt, with the
Gazelle nnd Mr. Zimmerman's contracted
view of the subject, fliey will usk how then
does this law efi'ect thu price.
Coal should command 2,00 per ton at
Sunbury and Northumberland, in order to
afford a fair remuneration to the operator for
the capital invested, risks, Ac. In this 1
think every operator will agree with me,
(unless "Congress or the Stole legislature"
wilUigree to mine our coal free of charge,)
Trevorton on tlie other hand, witli tlie aid oi
Mr. Zimmerman, ore able to offer coal so low
that a mau fu.ls in dtbt- by refusing to jJiir
chase. The Gazette raises nnother point wliieh I
will notice. Mr. Yonngman asks what
difference dots it make where tho capital
eomes from, so the people or tho county have
the benefit. To this no one raises objections.
We are glad to see capital settle in our
region, but whilst we give them a cordial
invitation we want lliem to come in, on the
same terms that citizens of Northumberland
county nnd different parts of the state are
willine to do. We ore not willing simply
because they ore from the city of New York,
that they should claim special protection
from a Pennsulcania lenislature.
Mr. I'Mi lor betnre 1 close, ny tne way w
illustration, I will bring (he effects of this
consolidation net nearer bonip. The Phila
ilelphiu and Sunbury Hail Hoad own the
lamia now worked by Messrs. Cochran, Peale.
& Co. Suppose Ihe'y get an act passed next
winter to mine their own coal, could they not
undersell every operation in the region ? Ilow
long would it be until every breaker in the
reeion would bo compelled to stop. No indi-
"i'lppl enterprise ciuiUI emneml uhIiim Kutl,
it clial-iei. . -..nnolv. This view addresses
ii.ii.ii to me judgement oi every man in our
region.
Tho Gazette promises us nn article next
week over M r. Zimmerman's signature. In
lhi article we will be told that Mr. Zimmer
man consulted ihe Shumokin people whilst
the bill was pending, nnd no objections were
raied. This I deny. I venture tho asser
tion that there was not a single operator knew
anything of this consolidation uct until after
it became a luw.
