ox
TluirlH.v Evening, fcepl. 20, 1S72.
EX-GOVERNOR l'OLLOCK,
AND
Hon. J. B. Packer,
will address the meeting. Feat for ladle recrv
cd. IUjc kalkw makes a considerable parade
of his devotion to the interests of tin; work
classes. 15ut lie is ready to sell tliein
out when au occasion offers. A good illus
tratiou of this is afforded by his course on
llio bill to secure the safety of tho miners
An awful disaster in tho coal regions had
alarmed tho miners to such au extent that
for a time they were really disheartened
and kucw not what to do. It was shown
th.it the operators hud been in many in.
stances grossly negligent in having only
oue shaft to a mine, so thai in case of dis
aster there was no hope lor the men iu the
mine. In England all this had been reme
died years before by stringent laws ; and at
the session of the Pennsylvania Legislature
next ensuing after the catastropho above
referred to, a bill was introduced with sim
ilar intent. Here was a chance for Bucka
lew to show his devotion to the interests of
llio laboring men, and he did it by amend
ments which, if successful, would have dc
fclroycd the usefulness of the bill. These
were defeated, and the bill passed in a good
hape, but uo thanks arc due to Buckalcw
for it, and when a supplement was intodue
n.l, intended to give tho law immediate
f jree and complete effect, liuekalcw put his
bh julder to tho wheel and defeated it. Xow
what could have stirred up tuch an invete
rato demagogue to care more for the inte
rests of capital thau labor ?
HE Registered. Our Republican frieuds
jn this county, should examine the Registry
JUUs at once, and see that not only their
o mimes ure upon it, but that, their
neighbor are registered also. o uot put
itotf uulij Uxe last moment. Something
may occur to prevent you from atUindin"
to iU All who wiiu to vote must be ivgU"
d ten days IxTc-ie (he d'.vtiou.
Oun neighbor of Urn Democrat is already
showing his fears of a defeat iu his last is
sue ad Is endeavoring to make tho public
believe Uiat the Republican nominees arc
nowhere, and tlmt Ids candidates aro vast
ly superior to everybody clso. This is real
ly ono of his old "owA-a," for who ever
heard him Uor n truth, In regard to a can
date iti opposition to him ? W'o aro con
vinced that his readers will not regard him
thankfully for his efforts to enforce, be
lief wbnt they honestly know to be incor
rect, Thfjre Is not a Democrat In tho coun
try whoknows the candidates on both sides,
xho will nt acknowledge tho superiority
of tho Republican nominees from Assembly
down to Auditor. For Assembly, how
ever, our neighbor docs not appear to
think Mr. Dcwitt fit for anything else than
to vote against tho Hon. Simon Cameron
for V. S. Senator. Dr. Dewitt may be a
good, clever fellow, but when his own par
ty organ acknowledges him only fit for the
performance of one act, he ccrtaiuly caunot
censure the voters of the county for oppos
ing him on account of being unqualified for
any other duty to be performed as a Legis
lator. Should Dr. Dewitt be elected, and
Mr. Cameron not be a candidate, then Xor-
thumbcrland county would, according to
the Democrat's idea, not be represented at
all. In such an event, wc belicvo that the
people will elect a representative who can
represent them in every capacity, and let
the Doctor stay at home.
For Shcrill our neighbor claims that Mr.
Rothermcl expects to be successful through
the use of money. Capability is uot taken
into consideration in this case for the rea
son that tho Republican candidate is so
much superior that a comparison could not
well be made. If Mr. Rothermcl has n?on
cy, wc are satisfied that he is loo shrewd a
man to secure an ofllce by paying for it,
but ho will ask the voters to elect him up
on his merits alone. Mr. Morgan, it is
true, has had chances to mako money, but
through his lack of business qualifications,
he has not succeeded very well. AVe doubt
much whether the people will elect any
man unqualified to transact public busi
siucss just because he is a Democrat.
The candidate for Prolhonotary, he
thinks will be beaten by a largo majority.
We don't think so. We know Mr. Arm
strong since he ran against C. 1J. 1'ursel iu
1853, for Register and Recorder, on the
Kuow-Xothing ticket. Mr. Armstrong de
pends solely upon the foreign vote to elect
him. The editor of the Demwrnt has al
ways coutended that all "Kuov-Xolhillgs,'
were sworn to oppose all foreign citizens
during life. AVe cannot see that any for
eign born citizen will support him when it
is certain, (accordiug to Democratic state
ments,) that he has taken such an oath.
The voluntary act, iu Mr. Armstrotig, of
joiuiug the Know-Xolhings, many years
before his opponent had a vote, will no
doubt be looked after by the foreign voters,
without even taking into conshWntion the
superior qualifications of Mr. Rohrbach
over Mr. Armstrong.
For Commissioner our neighbor thinks
the best recommendation of their candidate
i9im: t...i i,t w'cuGnty Iheah'TO'inuc'u
'I'hoJOp-nVincn in that office to bring about
a change iu our county affairs. Mr. Reitz's
unfitness for the position is half acknowl
edged by the Ikntwrat, and wc believe that
the editor is correct, nt least as far as our
knowledge goes. Mr. Durham is acknow
ledged by both parties in the upper end of
the county, to be a superior man for that
ofiicc. and the manner in which affairs
have been conducted in the Commissioners'
ofllce for some years past, will, no doubt,
couvince every tax-payer that it is time
good, competent men should be elected to
that ofllce.
Constitctiokal Dklkqatk. We are
pleased to notice that S. 1. Wolverton,
Esq., of this place, is favorably spoken of
iu this Senatorial District as likely to be
elected as a Delegate to the Couslitulioual
Convention. Mr. Wolvcrlou has been no
minated in this county by the Democrat,
aud wc hope to see him endorsed oy the
district. The District will b able to elect
one Democrat, and wo kuow of nono who
would be better qualified for that position
than Mr. V.'olvcrton. His ability is uudis
l'Utfd, and his character irreproachable.
His election to that Convention would
prove an honor to the District irrespective
of party. Tho oflico is one that parti.an
feeling should not influence., and the best
men should be selected to fill the positiou.
Mr. Wolvcrlou is widely known as a law
yer, ranking high in his profession. Per
sonally ho is a warm hearted gentleman,
honorable in all his business transactions,
and is not recognized as a political schemer.
It is very evident that ho is the strongest
man our opponents could select, anil his
nomination would prove equal to an elec
tion. Tun Columbian, published in ' Rlooms
burg, says that a liuekalcw Club was form
ed at Jones' school house, iu Fishingcreek
township, on Thursday of last week. This
is not at all surprising, as a similar Club
was formed in that vicinity during the
late rebellion to resist the draft. Perhaps
it would have been better understood if tho
Culuiulittn had stated that the old club has
been revived. The Columbian says :
"Our friends may depend upon Fishing
creek for a full and thorough organization,
and that there will be an unprecedented
majority given to the slatesmau who was
born upon her soil, and whose early life
was spent wilhiu her borders."
We don't suppose that any oue would
have the least doubt of a largo majority for
the "statesman" in Fishingcreek valley, as
"birds of a feather," &c.
The Democratic Guard appeared last
week remodeled, with new type aud new
editors. Tho heading has been changed to
Ihe Guard, and the paper will hereaaer
pursueuu ludepeudentcourse. Theeditors,
Messrs. Hower and Killian, havo lmuled
down the Greeley ticket, au evidence that
they iutend (o publish a free and indepen
dent journal, which will uot be bound
down aud coutroled, uor bo the slave of
putty leaders, which is the case with some
newspaper publishers. Tho Guard is a
neatly printed sheet, and its editorial col
uinim show greut ability. We wish our
lie ihbors success,
That Same Old Trick We notice
that tho "Ring" hns again adopted their
old plan to sccuro tho offices In tho coun
ty. In several instances wo hoar of them
offering to trado at the coming election by
which they Intend to deceive tho unwary.
For years past this plan was successfully
carried on, but last year their fraudulent
schemes were discovered, and tho conse
quence was they were defeated. That de
feat Is significant to every voter. Tho Im
proved condition of affairs during the past
year is plainly noticed, aud to return to
the former conduct of the "Ring," woulJ
tend towards u retrograde movement,
which, wo hope, no good citizen of the
county will attempt. It would certainly be
suicidal Iu any Republican to trade off his
vote, and thereby, perhaps restore the old
slato of things, when he sees that all hon
est Democrats aro willing to aid In remov
ing the evils which ipust arise by placing
the "Ring" candidates again into power in
this county. The people have become too
intelligent to be any longer gulled by life
long politicians. It is no longer a test
whether Democrats or Republicans shall
have the offices, but it lies between tho
qualified and honest, and tho disqualified
aud corrupt men. The people look for a
change, and we desire that every Republi
can will give the matter a thorough inves
tigation before ho consents to barter his
vote away to put in office those who aro
controlled by a set of men who plunge us in
debt, and leave the money that should be
paid into the county treasury in the hands
of collectors for put poses of speculation.
Xo honorable man can conscientiously
agree to any proposition of a trado of votes
from those who are looking for loaves and
fishes, and tho crumbs that fall from tho
tables of those thry try to place iulo office.

Eu. The Conferees of the Fourteenth Con
gressional district met at the Lochiel Hotel,
Harrisburg, on Saturday afternoon, and
unanimously renominated Honorable John
15. Packer as the Republican candidate for
Congress. The Harrisburg State Journal
says : This was a foregone conclusion be
fore anv of the counties of the district had
officially declared their intention, Mr. Pack
er having a hold on the people of the dis
trict which no Representative enjoys to a
larger extent with any constituency in tho
land. His faithfulness as a legislator, anil
his ability and purity as a man give him a
peculiar influence in Congress, and will al
ways retain for him the respect and sup
port of his fellow citizens. His majority
will be largely increased as a mark of the
high favor iu which he slands.
Enoland has been found guilty, aflcr a
fair trial at Geneva before a court compos
ed of representatives of five' nations. The
verdict and the sentence wore pronounced
on Saturday. Count Selopis, President of
the court, formally announced that the sum

At Home. The standing of a man at
home is t he best evidence of his real char
acter. What a man's neighbors ami inti
mate life-long acquaintances say of him,
is the true estimate of his qualities. Gen.
Hartranfl is respected nl home. His neigh
bors have faith in him, and regard him us
iu all respects a man of honor, fidelity and
probity. The following, from the Xorris
town Herald, shows this :
Wc occasionally hear of some of our De
mocratic politicians speaking disparaging
ly of General Hartrauft when they are
abroad, insinuating that he dojs not pos
sess the confidence of his neighbors. This
is a cowardly business, for at homo the
same men know better than to open their
mouths iu anything but praise of the mail
they thus sneakingly traduce. This has
lecu much tho character of the opposition
to General Hartranfl ever since the day of
his nomination. His accusers aro not
found among impartial men. Like Paine,
some of them have been discovered iu frau
lent practices and made to feel the power
of an honest accounting officer. We invito
comparison of tho two candidates for Gov
ernor in regard to the estimate placed upou
them iu their respective homes. Those
who know the two men know that General
Hartranfl will, at least, uot lose anything
by the test.

Tho grand day procession is now forming

The convention reassembled in the opera
house this morning.
Rev. John Sands, of Pittsburg, made a
prayer.
After music, the committee on resolu
tions reported, through the chairman, Gen.
Joseph Cabbott, tho following resolutions,
which were unanimously approved by the
convention :
1. It is a source of unmingled pleasure to
meet again, and reviewing the memories of
our campaign for the Union and liberty,
thcuce to draw lessous for present duty and
future guidance.
2. We reaffirm our devotion to the union
of the States. The arbitrament of war has
decided that wc an; one nation, with one
flag, Willi liberty and equality before the
law for men, and all the national authority
is essentially to establish, protect and de
fend the liberty aud inalienable rights of
the people.
3. We enter our solemn protest against
transferring the control of the army and
navy, treasury, and the entire government,
tho enforcement of Constitutional amend
ments, with the execution of the laws them
selves, to a selfish aud corrupt coalition,
composed chiefly of elements but recently
in open hostility to them all. '
4. We cherish no spirit of revenge to
wards our fellow-citizens of the South.
Tho magnauimity of our late commander
in chief on the field of Appomatox was a
sufficient pledge of tho Union armv that
tho bloody chasm of war was closed, and
witli malice towards none, but with charity
to all. c extend the right hand ot fellow
ship to all who accept, iu good faith, the
results of the war. and will extend toeverv
American citizen, of whateverx'jcpo.rcvj'
teeti uy me oonstitution ot the United
States and laws made in pursuance there
of. 0. Reposing implicit confidence in the.
patriotism nnd gratitude of the nation, we
confine to it every interest of Union sol
diers, and here express our most cordial
appreciation ot the unparralled generosity
of the people as expressed through Con
gress iu tho laws providing pensions and
bounties, and we fully believe any irregu
larities which may appear will be cheerfully
and promptly corrected.
0. We gladly and proudly reaffirmd our
enthusiastic confidence in tho integrity,
patriotism and ability of President Graut.
Wc point to his messages for oppinions and
recommendations in harmony with the
most abandoned political sentiment. We
point to the condition of the country iu all
its relations, toreign aud domestic, for
proof that its laws are well administered
ami its Honor maintained. We rejoice to
see, associated with him, that incorruptible
and indefatigable patriot and representa
tive American, iienry Vinson, of Massa
chusetts.
7. Wc pledge our steady and earnest sup
port to President Grant and Congress in
reforming the civil service, and establish
ing the highest standard of fidelity among
an servants 01 tne government.
8. Although this convention is purely na
iionai 111 us inception anu purposes, we
cannot refrain from expressing our sympa
thy aud giving cordial support to our gal
lant commander leading the column in
Pennsylvania, whoso illustrious record as
a brave aud iaithrul soldier should endear

We, the conferees representing the coun

unstained, uiiobstrusivc morality; his clear,
lirm lucigment anil unwavering courtesy :
his faithful labors for the best interests of
the country, and especially iu the interests
of American labor, and his entire conduct
in the honorable office to which he hisleen
twice elected, have so commended him to
and secured tho confidence and esteem of
the people of this district that they demand
his renomiualion, and give assurance that
ho will bo re-elected for the third lime, if
not without a competitor, nevertheless
without any considerable opposition.
llcsnhrd. That we hartily endorse the
administration of President Grant ; wc be
lieve it to be wise and prudent; and wc
further believe that his re-uomiuation was

ed by a sense of justice and a sentiment of
gratitude.
Itcxolrcd, That we favor a tariff which
will all'ord adequate protection to every
branch of American industry in every sec
tion of our common country ; and that the
Republican party is the ouly party which
consistently supports that policy. Its
steadfast, action in that respect commands
the confidence of the people and gives as
surance that it will continue to labor to
advance and secure real reform iu tho in
terests of the laboring masses,
licmleed. That we have full confidence
in the honor and integrity of our standard
bearers, Gen. John F. Hartrauft, Gen.
Harrison Allen, nnd the whole State ticket,
ami pledge the same our cordial support.

A IAXJEItor M IT.VI SS.
Mr. Forney's favorite witness, says tho
Philadelphia JSnlUtin, in his crusade
against the Republican candidate for Gov
ernor, is Dr. Paine. 15y him, ho under
takes to prove all manner of malfeasance
and corruption, nnd willioul his valuable
aid, even the impudent ingenuity of the
J'i(ss would b? at a loss to invent slanders
to hurl at tho head of the mail whom it re
cently declared to be. not ouly a gallant
soldier, but also a faithful nilieial. Wo
propose to give Mr. Forney the full benefit
of his chosen witness, aud hoic. in advance,
that he will make the most of him.
We have more than once intimated our
belief that the now celebrated Six Thou
sand Dollars divided between John W. and
D. Carpenter Forney were only a small
portion of their Evans dividend. Only
Two Thousand Dollars of Ihat sum have
been traced to the pocket of the chief malig
nerof lien. Hartrauft, and it has seemed lu
cre dble that he should huve put Evans in
tho way of a Three Hundred Thousand
Dollars operation for the pitiful commission
of a two-thirds of one per cent.
We call Dr. Paine to the stand ; nnd wo
offer him, onco more, the paper, ns Mr.
Hageit did in tho Twitchell case. The
dillcrcuce is that both cuds nf it are now
hot, nnd that tho "centre of percussion"
can be far more easily determined, than
when tho Dean of tho llogus Diploma Col
lego gave his immortal lecture ou that sub
ject before tho Twitchell jury.
Wo do not kuow whether Dr. Paiue
swears or affirms. We presumo that, as a
practice, he swears. Indeed, ho swore a
little, just a little, a "d n," with a small
d, when ho gave tho evidence which we
now propose to publish. What Dr. l'aino
said wns this, aud ho said it iu the presence
of two unimpeachable witnesses, ready to
be produced when needed, that John W.
Forney received from the Evans
Fund the value of fifty thousand
dollars, in the form of satisfation
of a mortgage on the press 13c1ld-
ING.
This is exactly what Mr. Forney's favor
ite wituess said to at least two competent
aud thoroughly reliable witnesses. And
upon being asked why the money itself was
uot paid to him Mr. Forney's favorite wil-
ness promptly replied1 that it was thovgbt
desirable that Mr. Forney should be able
to say, If Interrogated that he "had never
seen a dollar of the Evans money."
imsisur, l'aitie's testimony, and we
are prepared to prove, before any proper
tribunnl, that this is precisely what he said
concerning the disposition of this part of
the Evans plunder. If it Is false testimony,
men nr. l'aino has proved himself a very
bad witness for Mr. Forney, nnd ho ought
to denounce him openly, publicly anuat
once. If possible, he ought to go farther,
and prove that he never had any such
mortgage paid or satisfied or in any way
cancelled that would be a good, compre
hensive way to stale the evidence and
that excepting the confessed Six Thou
sand Dollars, ho has never received any
advantage, direct or ludircct, from the
Evins fund.
If, on the other hand, Dr. Paine "s testi
mony is true, ho has proved himself a still
worso witness for Mr. Forney. If he has
really supplied, in his unguarded and gar
rulous moments, the renl "centre of per
cussion" of this misterious force that con
trols the action of tho i'rcs, Mr. Forney
may well "co for linn," with good excuse
The dilemma is a desperately awkward
one. If Dr. Panic tells the trull), what bC'
comes of Mr. Forney's charge against Gen
oral Hartranfl ? If Dr. Paine tells a false
hood, what becomes of the bogus Yerkcs
affidavits that rest upon his testimony t
The horns seem equally sharp, and there
is small choice between then. If Dr. Paine
tells the truth, the little Six Thousand be
comes Fifty-six Thousand, or about one'
half of the hitherto unexplained part of the
Evans plunder. If Dr. Paine's statement
is a romantic fiction, which Mr. Forney
must find some satisfactory way of proving,
then the assault upon Gen. Hartrauft falls
by the dead weight of the total Incompe
tence of the chief witnesses. The centre of
percussion lies somewhere along the stir
face of this exceeding hot poker ; and it
rests with Mr. Forney to dctertniue just
where it is.
General Allen Vindicated. As
the Democratic papers are sorely exercised
over the prospect of Hartley being terribly
beaten by Gen. Allen, nnd as they continu
ally charge the Republican candidate with
dishonesty, which none but knaves will as
sert, we copy the following resolutions,
framed and )iascd unanimously by a Dem
ocratic me"'' vi 111 Warren county, on the
evening of the 25th tilt. David l!eat
ty, Esq.. presided, with Matthew Simpson,
ns Vice President, and Jacob Oll'ericc and
Theo. Hull, Secretaries, ull well-known and
influential Democrats. The resolutions
passed leithnul a dissentinii voice nre as fol
lows :
Kcsoh-cd, That we, life-long Democrats
of Warren county, and neighbors of (Jen.
Allen, do most cheerfully bear testimony to
his excellency as a citizen, nnd most deci
dedly dissent from nnd disapprobatc the
slanders being hurled against him by the
parlizan press. Knowing him from his
boyhood, we do not credit the charges made
against him, but believe them the offspring
of political malice, nnd disappointed ambi
tion. Jle.ioh-td, That while entirely differing
from him in polities, and being in favor of
Greeley and liuekalcw, wc do feel that po
litical success should not be obtained at the

we therefore express our sentiments most

or iu which he has been engaged, lie is

Jtcsolred, That in giving expression to
our sentiments, we believe there are hun
dreds of our neighbors who will ngree with
us, nnd who, irltilc leindiaHm the cnhnu
nie.t heaped on (!cn. Allen, will vote the ba

the contemptible and malignant ellbrts of
the Greeley papers to injure him in the
opinions of all right-minded men. If it
were possible for Democratic editors to ap
preciate their own littleness and meanness
in the estimation of the people, they would
slink abashed before the withering repro if
administered them by the members of their
own party in Warren county, lint they
will shut their eyes to this evidence from
honest men who" have known Gen. Allen
from childhood, and having n stock of
falsehoods ou hand, will persist in using
them until the close of the campaign. With
their willing ally, Forney may heap abuse
and slanders upon him from this time un
til then, but it will be tilth thrown in vain.
They cannot befoul a character so clean, a
reputation for integrity so irreproachable.
