AVo li.ivfl been risked by a person interested in the President Judgeship, not to say that Mr. Scott is a member of the. Roman Cath olic Church, unless we have evidence that Buch is the fact. In the first place wo say, that wo have a duly to perforin to the pub lic that fur transcends any delicacy of feel ing that p.ny candidato may have, and whilst wc design to publish, tho truth, and nothing but the truth, we must and will at nil times hold up the side of the right, no difference where and whom it may hit. Wc do not oppose Mr. Scott on account of liis religious proclivities. Wo do not op poso him becauso ho is or is not a Roman Catholic ; but wc do say, thac wo will op pose any man's election when it is sclPcvi lent that it is sought to elect him as a Ro man Catholic, or as any other denomina tional or sectarian candidate. The people of this great Commonwealth will not allow a man to sit in judgment of their rights and liberties, when it is evident to them that tho Pope's influence is to be wielded in the slightest degree. What was the verdict of the people, but a lev? years ago, when judge Campbell, a Roman Catholic on tho Demo cratic ticket for Judge of the Supreme Court was a candidato ? And later still, but two years ago, did not the people of tho Luzerne district a district that numbers its Democratic majority by thou Bands defeat Judgo Wood ward(Mr.Scott's father-in-law) for President Judge by an ov erwhelming majority, simply because he was placed on tho ticket by tho Irish Ro man Catholic influence, and went about in the lowest grog shops iu that coal region, treating for votes ? Even tho Democratic papers denounced it as n disgrace, and so much beneath the dignity of tho high office which he had hitherto held,and for which he was thou a candidate, that they did not hes itate to condemn him. And after having served as Chief Justico of tho Supreme Court of tho State, he could not bo elected, although on tho Democratic ticket, in a strong Democratic district, to tho ollice of President Judge of the County Court. And wc do not hesitate in snying that wo have tho strongest evidence, that Ro mau Catholic influenco is brought to bear to promote tho election of Mr. Scott. In the first place, every person knows that it was the Irish Roman Catholic votes in the Coal region that placed him on tho ticket. This the election returns show every body knows it. Everybody admits that they even cheated and defrauded tho honest De mocratic voters of other parts of tho county out of thoir choieo for candidates, in order to carry their point, and elevate such men lis they thought would best serve their in terest every candid, self-thinking, honest man will admit. Again, whilst wc were not present, and did not sec Mr. Scoll join tho Roman Cath olic Church, there cannot bo found in Sha mokin a man who will not tell you 'that they nil say out there, that he is a member, And gc to see llio I'liist whenever he comes ti Shanuikin." Everybody knows that Put Hester, Ceo. McElieco and James Mulone, the three leading Roman Catholic spirits of Northumberland county, are Mr. Scott's right hand men. That he sits witli lliem, h1-s with them, and smokes with them, as often as they meet together, everybody cnu sec for themselves. Was not .lnhn Murphy, the Roman Catholic Irifh lipstnvo, nppoiuUd and kept in otliee by Judgo Woodward during the whole of his term of office, been hero in the streets with Mr. Scott lust week, and was ho iiot on ft political mission tliroiighoiit lliu dis trict, vixiting his Roman Catholic friends Y Who cannot in what hia lniinih was V And l e t, but not leuhl, why U it that Ihu Libit rri'U.lnnlii In the foul region are ull going fur Mr. H k Weli Her, irreajic-ciiYO. of 1'uitv, whilst tin) IrUli Itoimiu Cutholics uro ull for Scot i to a unit 'i'hco are liiets, ttlld evvl ) pel toll iu ll.o Cnlil region wi bear tetiinotiy of tho truth of Iheao um r tioiix.

A promi nent political paper among this class of ci tizens Is tho Irish Peoc. It circulates among the class from which mobs and tiots alt! Airtncd, more widely, probably, than any other paper, secular or religious, and the iutlucnco it is calculated to exert may be inferred from tho following extract from tl recent editorial, which is a fair examplo of tho prevailing tono of tho paper : "Should tho Orangemen ever parade in New York, let tho citizens who feel ag grieved at tlio violation of our laws and in stitutions, take whatever measures they choose into their hands to uphold tho laws, if they care anything about their country. As for tho Irish clement, whoso lives are aimed at by Orangemen, let thorn congre gate on tho tops of houses and at windows, provided with a, few dozen of good hand grenades, say a couple of hundred nt difl'o rent points, and all tho Stato. militia that ever gathered together will hasten home- war a as last as their leet can carry them. Remember that twenty thousand militia marching through New York streets are not equal to one hundred men situated as described." Such counsels aro likely to ho of injury to those to whom they aro addressed, as they keep them in a constant ferment and feeling of resistance to law, and anxi ety for tho time when, if they may not car ry out tho advice, they may defy tho law and lawful authorities. Tho man who writes such stuff is, of course, wicked and wenk, tind beneath the notice of sensible men ; but he can do injury to his dupes, nevertheless. What tho Irish People needs is to be taught not only tho importance but tho necessity of submitting to law and order. If it supposes mob law can prevail in this country for any considerable timo, or that any faction, however strong, will bo allowed to dictato to tho officers of tho law, it will find that it has made a hideous mistake. A few iustanccs may occur, but the coun try soon tires of them, nud the strong arai of official power will, sooner or later, be brought to most effectually quell such dis turbances. By their conduct on the "bloody twelfth," tho Irish mob clement brought upon themselves public indigna tion that will not readily abate, and they wiil find that this outraged public will bear less from them than ever before ; and it will be to their interests to bo careful to maintain a peaceful attitude, and not talk of futuro riots, else they may fiud that there is a power stronger than they. They must understand that they aro to conform to tho institutions of this country, for the institu tions will not bo conformed to them. We notice hi last week's Democrat that tho editor is determined to briug all oppos ed to frauds and corruption into tho har ness, to vote for tho ticket nominated by tho fraudulent votes of tho Irish Catholics in the coal regions ; and iu case of refusal, to have watches set, with book or paper in hand, to keep notes of those who do not support their ticket. He threatens all who refuse to come into tho Ring calling them bolters and disorganizes. This we pre sume, is considered modern Democracy, for wo have never seen yet where Thomas Jef ferson, the founder of Democracy, ever ad vocated fraud and corruption through the ballot box, nor did ho ever favor any mea sures to restrain any man from a freo exer cise of his opinions. When our forefathers combined together, and entered into a com pact to make this a freo country, allowing every man tho liberty to exercise his own judgment of his political rights as nn Amcricau freeman, they did not iutend to proscribe any particular sect or parly. Thomas Jefferson, the founder of tho Democratic party proclaimed the principles of the arty, which is quoted in the address of the Standing Committer in tho same paper. "Equal and exact justice to all men of whatever Stato or persuasion, ro' ligious or political," ho did not declare that every man who would opposo fraud upon tho party was bound to support that ticket, because it was called Democratic. Now, whether Jellerson was right, and the editor wrong, or tho editor right and Jef ferson wrong, is a matter that cannot puzzle the miud of any one very long. It looks very inconsistent for any editor to publish in one part of his paper tho princi ples laid down by the founder of Democracy, and in another part advocate tho punish ineut of all who aro favorable to it. It is very certain that if the honest IVmocrats do not now try to suppress tho fraud aud corruption in their arly, Unit it will uot bo long be fore they are compelled tocouuect ihriuselvm Kith another parly. Meu who have been consistent DcniiHTatH, and who lolvocii'.cd tint purity of Um ballot box, will not ktoop dovui uiid toikiike their principles by aiipporiliig men who maku it a study to work tin loHelves iu power by fraud, a Her they Hud that they mo not wmiled, ami lauuol gain it by houenty.

We refer our read ers to the able address of tho four lawyers, who were appointed by the Conventions of Northumberland and Montour counties, re spcctiVely, to select a candidato for the President Judgeship. We endorse every word of it. This is as it should be. The pooplo wanted to know from tho leading lawyers of tho district whom they consider ed tho right man to fill that important posi tion. Tho pcoplo aro asked now to discard politics. Mr. Rockefeller is not a politi cian, but the question is not a political one. The sarao lawis to be administered to Democrats that is administered to Repub licans, and the man who talks about a De mocratic or a Republican bench must bo uarrow-minded in tho extreme Tho pco plo Bhould decido tho question on tho me rits of tho candidates alone. On the one hand they have presented a lawyer who has practiced among them for upwards of twenty-ono years. Every law book pub lished by tho Supremo Court, from tho very important ejectment case of Philips vs. Zerbo Run Improvement Company ; 1 Casey p. 49, decided in 1855, down to Forrester vs. Kline, 14 Smith p. 39, decided in 1871,a period of 10 years, has the namo of Wm. M. Rockefeller to a number of tho most important cases ever argued in tho Supremo Court. In 1852, Mr. Rocke feller, iu connection with his Honor, Judgo Jordan, edited nnd published a new edition of tho "Aniericon Pleader's Assistant," a valuable law book now in the hands of al most every lawyer in tho State. On tho other hand, wo have Mr, Scott, against whom wo do not desire to say one word as a man, but as a lawyer he certainly has no record nt all. We have inquired of lawyers and others from' Poltsville, where Mr. Scott tried to establish a practice, and the universal reply is that ho lias never been knowu to have tried a case, nnd they nre perfectly amazed and astonished at tho idea of the people of Northumberland county talking about selecting him as President Judge. Is it possible that a young man so in- exp3ricnced,is to bo set up to tell such men as Comly, Packer, Wolvcrton, Lawson, Zeig ler, iialdy, Hill, I-idy, Round, lirown, Rhodes, iloyer, Maliek, Snyder, and the many other eminent aud distinguished members of our Rar. "Roll up your sleeves, working meu of Pennsylvania, lake another breath o on with your back breaking, hand listerinjj labor. Make all you can earn every penny within your power live saving, for the tax gatherers will be after you soon for your share of tho three thou mm! six hundred anil thirty Jirc dullum that the raoicnl embezzler J-.vans lias stolen from you." A'o)uii,.t(i7(ui(! Co. Dauwrat As there ore several blatant politicians, who arc now circulating that a direct tax has been levied by the State to pay Evan's embezzlement, it strikes ns that if the amount is only "tirtc thoiifuud nix hundred and thirty-Jive dollar," the money sent to California a littbi better than a year ago, by one of our County officials, with an I rish woman, would, if returned, almost liqui date the amount referred to. Tho difference between the Republicans and Democrats is this. The Republican Attorney General is after Evans with a sharp stick, and will bring him to punish ment. Tho Democracy never punish the embezzlers of their party, but cover up their tracks and deny their guilt, as they are now doing in New York. The Eiiile. Supposo all the ministers nnd churches should proclaim, that they were iiifullible, nnd could no more commit a mistake in judgment than God Himself. that they alone could determine what the Riblo taught, that it is a sealed book to all peoples, and that no open Riblo should be found or read in nnv family or anv closet, through tho length and breadth of the land. Tho Riblc, so dear and precious to the millions of our race that it has sustained in trouble and solaced in tho trials of life and then led to Heaven that is tho great bulwark and foundation stone ol all civil liberty, without which the world would bj m slavery to-day, that first tnught tho great truth, that all men are equal, that this book, tho great charter of civil and religious free dom, shall bo sealed up forever from the great masses of iho jieoplet What a mighty revolution, would such an edict from the churches produce 1 What a tempest of wrath and indignation I Yet under Romish rule this is tho order, and iu Rome, before Italy became fiee, lSibles were burned at the public stake, and men and women were punished and imprisoned who dared to circulate or dis tribute tho Riblo.

Ho claims to bo 'able 'to control the Ger man Voto in Northumberland county. This, taken iu connection with tho decfarar tions of a certain influential Republican of Shamokin, that Newbakcr was and is pledged to go with tho Republicans in all parly measures in . tho next Legisla ture, ought to convince the people of the importance of clcctiug Chall'aut and Gab higher, tho Democratic nominees." . Now for the facts.. Dr. Newbaker au thorizes us to say, that ho has not been in Montour cour.ty sinco tho nomination. That ho is not personally acquainted with Mr. Bright, and hos never written or spo ken to him on this or any other subject, nor authorized any ono to do so. Nor has ho written or spoken to any other person in said county on tho subject. .. That the whole thing is a fraud and falsehood, and worthy only of a party who obtained their nominations by frauds-, aud will not there fore hesitate to perpetuate other frauds to deceive honest Democrats and secure their own election. , The Next .imiuFFi We propose to Inform our readers from time to timo of tho probable candidates for tho next year. Prominent Is Mr. Patrick Hester, of Lo cust Gap. As jilt. Carmel and Coal town ships rule1 tho county, and this year put in nomination thej r ticket,, so next year they will nominato their candidate for Sheriff. If in their power Mr. Patrick Hester, re cently a member of the Demecratic County Committee will bo Iho Sheriff of Northum berland county.' No matter by fair or foul means, just ns UioiDemocratic party when cheated out of their bona fide nominations of President Judgo nnd member of Legis lature. Mt. Carmel and Coal townships rule the county right or wrong. Fuaud. It is admitted that Mt. Car mel and Coal townships mado tho Demo cratic nomination by fraud, and henco so many honest Democrats are disgusted and will not vote tho ticket. If they nominate by fiaud, they will elect by fraud if they can, nnd if they elect by fraud, then their official conduct will be fraudulent nnd corrupt. Let Mt. Carmel and Coal townships rule the county and then look out for New York frauds and swindles. Is it true, that Tweed and Connelly nnd Hall nnd the Ncw York robbers, who rob bed tho Treasury anil tho people of millions, when they get through theirtrial nnd their term of service in tho Stato prison, will settle down in Mt. Carmel and Coal town ships, nnd study political virtue ? It is said a great College will bo opened iu Mr. Carmel to teach the groat art of nomina ting minority candidates. To the ItE'iTK 1 Have not Mt. Car mel townshipsjill tlio' virtue intelligence of tho county ? Then why not rule it i They clai.n the" Democratic party is bound to sustain them. They say "where's the uso of n Democratic party unless wc can get all the offices." "Be iabbers, to h 11 wid a party, that won't give us all the offices. Its no party at nil." "Not a bit of uso in it." Query Aro not many good Demo crats, who have served their country on tho field of battle, risked their lives to save our freedom, who would fill the officii of Sheriff quite ns well, if not better, thau Mr. Patrick Hester,- who it seems is tho great favorite of Mt. Carmel aud Coal townships. Why should worthy men be pushed back, at tho' bidding of .Mt. Carmel and Coal townships V Why should a free people bo forbidden to read tho public newspapers? Supposo President Grant would issue an order to all the eoplo not to take or read a public newspaper, and denounce punishment tem poral nud spirtual on all. who dared to disobey his order. Tho whole nation would rise up against him. Rut this very outrage the Pope of Rome docs this day, "by a late order. This is the man the Irish rioters of New York, would have rulo over this freo laud, aud would murder all freemen who daro to celebrate tho great battle of tho lloyne, which secur ed to us and nil tho civilized world the right to publish and read the public news papers.

Staggering under the demoralization growing out of tho "new departure" doc trine, and under the weight of the robberies of the tax-papers in New York perpetra ted by the loaders of the Tammany ring, tlio Democracy everywhere throughout tho country are receiving blows front tbo peo ple at the elections just held. Montana has elected a Republican Dele gate to Congress by a majority of 250. Last year the Democracy carried the Ter ritory by 1300. In Wyoming Territory the Republicans havo secured a majority in the Legislature. Tho last Legislature was unanimously Democratic, , Tho municipal election iu Wilmington, iXdawarc, resulted in a Republican success, They carried tlio council, electing the Pres ident, Josaph Marris, by about 420 major ity, and Kilgore, for treasurer, by over 000 a Republican gain of about C50 over tho voto cast at the city election last year. RErunLicAN Victory m California. Tho annual election in California took place lust Tuesday, and resulted in n Re publican triumph. Booth, Republican candidate for Governor has been elected by from 3,000 to 5,000 majority, and we have electod two and probably three nienbers of Congress. The golden Stato is, therefore, lost to tho Democracy. Now Maine, always true to the cause, is added lo tho roll of States which intended to reelect Grant next yoar. Tbo canvass this year was not remarkably active, for the itcpublicans do not need to put forth all their energies. It is only when they want to show their strength that they roll up grand majorities of 25,000 and over. Yet this year they have again dono glo riously. Sidney Pcrham, the present Governor, is re-cloctod over Charles P. Kimball ; tho next Legislature will be as overwhelmingly Republican as was the last in which we had 25 majority in tho Senate nnd 75 in tho House nnd a Repub lican will bo chosen to auceecd the Hon. Lot M. Morrill in tho Uuited Slates Senate. Tho entire Stale Government will be Re publican. The majority in Maine last year was 950G. This year it is unquestionably a victory great enough to encourago Repub licans everywhere. Every election neld this year shows that the peoplo of the United States believe that Republican principles still deserve to be sustained, and the mission of the party that saved the Union is hot yet ended. These victories nnd largo gains in other sections should inspire tho Republicans of Pennsylvania to labor for a glorious victory at the election to take place on the 10th proximo. Let these facts arouse Republi cans everywhere throughout tho State to active exertion from this until tlic day of election. MAINE! THE XEWS COX I III MED. lCciuIIit-nii aiu Over 3,000.

Central Committee of Pennsylvania, LA PtttttRE IIotrsE, , Philadelphia, Sept. 12, 1871. 2b tlit Republicans of Penntnjlmnia, : We tender you our hearty congratula tions over the glorious victories recently won by tho Republicans of California and Maine. In tho former a State has been won, after fourVears of Democratic misrule, by an overwhelming majority, and in tho latter the firm hold of tho Rpublican party upon the people has been maintained with a tenacity that cannot be shaken. Tho victory in California has been gain ed after an arduous and exciting struggle. It is tho result of systematic work, and it demonstrates the value of organization and well directed political labor. The victory in Maine has been won by keeping up tho admirable organizations perfected in past years, under tho operation of which tho Republican vote liaa beon thoroughly brought out, ltolh these Victories show to us the value and the necessity of thorough organization. They ought to inspirit Us with tho most ardent zeal and with a determination to imitate the examplo so worthily set us. We appeal to you, therefore, whilo rejoic ing over the victories of your brcthcrn else where, to do ns they have dono, and secure by your systematic labors a victory as com plete as theirsj The steady stream of Republican success with, setting iu with Connecticut, has since flowod on without interruption, must not be checked in its onward now by a Repub lican defeat in Pen nsylvania. We owe it to our friends in the States which have so gallantly upheld our banner to stand by them, and keep Pennsylvania in the pha lank of Republican States, We can do this only by cultivating a spirit of union and harmony, keeping up our local organizations actively, tind work ing steadily nnd With a will to bring out every Republican vote. Everything de pends upon organization and work. Our intelligence from all parts ofthe State is cheering and encouraging. All that is wanted now is a little close attcnt'ou to tho details of local organization. No poli tical victory was ever won without atten tion to these details ; and wo rely upon your spirit, energy, nnd real to carry them out systematically and render them effec tive. Let the Republicans of tho Stato be true to themselves and to thcii cause, stand firmly by their Stato nominees and local tickets, and put their ward and township committees into vigilant activity, and we shall be able to send back to Maine nnd California, and their sister Republican States a response ns cheerful and gladden ing as their messages of triumph have been to us.

The Citizens' Committee of seventy, who have tho investigation of the accounts of tho city officials of New YorK, recommend the institution of civil nnd criminal pro ceedings against tho parties who have so grossly abused the confidence which the peoplo havo placed in lh?m, by defrauding tho municipality of many million dollars. m The corn crop is so promising in North western Missouri that tanners are selling it nt from teu to fiflecu cents per bushel iu the field.

Editor of Sunhury American, Dear S'e.- Seeing that you havo a place in your columns for correspondents, aud being the possessor of facts of vital importance in the iircsent political campaign, 1 deem it a dut y 1 owe to the citizens of Northumberland County, to make them public, and knowing of 110 better medium than your estimable paper, 1 havo mado bold to address this communication to you, hoping that you will uso it to the greatest advantage. An article appeared iu last week's Demo crat, denying tho statement of tho Mil tonian's Sunbury correspondent, that E. G. Scott, their judicial candidate is pledged to tho Miners' and laborer's Union. This assertion is branded ns a falsehood, and to prove it such, they quote a remark from his address to tho conferees, in which he solemnly assures them that if called to the bench ho will go there without having given any pledge or promise directly or indirectly to nny 0110. This statement of his is as falso as tho "Father of Lies" him self. As I will prove to you; Having business that culled mo to Mt.' Carmel, 1 happened to be there on the evening when he was there electioneering for tho primary election. Passing through tho bjr-rooni of ono of the principal hotels, I saw him treating a largo number of his friends, prominent among whom were Put Hester aud Austin Maley, and tho rest of them wero us murderous nnd rullianly a set of meu as could bo picked anywhere. While standing at the door ono ol tho responsible citizcus of the borough, stated to mo that ho was a juror ou tho iuquest of tho llolt uian murder, and from tho cvidenco there obtained, he was certain that most of the principal committors of that outrago wero in that bar-room, ns the fiicuds and asso ciate of Scott. After conversing with this citizen a short time, 1 walked about town, uiid on return ing, 1 found him still there with most oi Ihu saiiio gang of "Molly Maguirea." While 1 was pausing through tho room, one of them md to him. "If wo help to elect you will you do the fair thing by usr" His unmver ua given iu these word. "Gentlemen if Lam nominated and elected 1 assure you, that 1 will remember my lliem! nud my eneniW must beware." 1-ater In thu evening 1 heaid him pledge liiuiHcIf lo aecut'u Ihu following nomination to thu K'ioiis named, next fall : For Sheriif, Put IUter; (or I'rothonotary, Mike Connelly; and for tlio Lfgmhtluro either (ialagliar or koiuu oilier lrihiu:iu from ihu Ciutl Regions.
