T4fgisilativo . corruption
The Philadelphia Evening Bulletin repeats
its charge of corruption against the Penneyl
vaniaLegislature; and counts Tax Tsr.soaLts .
as the defender of men engaged in such des
pitiable- transactions, simply because we had
the courage to defend the interest of our
great 'commercial emporium, the city of Phila
delphia. , Let us for a moment examine the
facts in the case. Arailroad company, already
in existence,. ails the privilege of extending
its road for TWO maims, in order to secure
direct communication with the , city of Phila
delPhia, not only Tor the convenience of a
large numberof the. citizens of liOrthampton
county, but to'afford the citizens of Philadel
phia additional 'facilities for the importation
of coal, an object in which every citizen of the
metropolis is
. interested. Indeed we are in
favor of.the extension of all railroad 'facilities.
The Bulletin denominates the' TELEGRAPH a
defender of corruptiOniats. Will our Cotem
porary tell its readers candidly a fact well
known to frequenters of. our legislative halls,
that when unfair means are suspected of
being used to obtain legislation, its own
friends and neighbors have been charged as
being the parties guilty of such unfairness.
'Does' the Bulietin not know the fact: that
wealthy railroad companies are annually
crowding the halls of legislation, in order : to
prelient competition in the coal trade, , and
thus monopolize the mining and carryin . of
coal to the city. of Philadelphia?. ,
We' do not for a moment believe that un
fair means were used to Obtain the legislation
which has proven so obnoxious to the Bulletin
men; notwithstanding charges were made to
that effect by two members of the Legislature.
But we begin to "suspect very, Strongly that
foul means were resorted, to to preventits
passage. The Bulletin makes annual charges
of corruption against the Legislature of Penn
sylvania. These charges, are' greedily repub
lished by the New , York press. Against this
practice we enter our solemn protest.- If the
editors of the Bails* are cognizant of cor
ruption, let
.the charge be specifically made,
so that a.cominittee of investigation may be'
appointed, and we shall do our utmost.to
bring the guilty to punishment. We b'elie4e
that the great majority, of our legislators are
honest and upright men, and it is doing them
injustice to be charged witVcorruption, be-
Cause they happen, y i ; estsnclrailroad facilities
two miles. We may referto this sulijeat again,
when we. shall endeavor to place the saddle
on the rightlorse. In the meantime let the
33ertietin nag, stop, its priAaing..
The Blunder nf niffii)rtinet—Gen. Seymour
in Vinirida.
The TOry Organ, with the other re.presmita
tives of the rebel .cause in the , has
undertaken the.. defence of Gen. Seymour,
}whose sad blunders in. Florida coat the nation
the lives of so Many gallant men. It is" fitting
that Seymour should have a defender, mid*

Dir. Lincolnin ,
We undertook, lioute time since, to make a
list of the papers in the State of Pennsylvania,
that had either placed the name of Mr. Lin
coln at the head of their editorial columns,
as eituidieliite; --- fiir- to the Pr4si
dency, or that had declared emphatically in
favor of his re-nomination_ After making a
record of two-tWds of the loyal papers; 'we
ceased for the action of the other third of our
loyal cotemporaries, and now we have the satis
faction to announce that every journal in the
Commonwealtkfaithfully sup Porting the pol
icy. of ' the_ Adudnistnition. in: the effort to
crush rebellion, is faithirdly advocating the
re-election of Mr. Lincoln. Added to this
fact, there' are newspapers which have always ,
occupied neutral positions in reference to
nominations, acting independent also after
parties had made their choice of candidates, l
which now heartily endorse the movement of
the people in favor of Mr. Lincoln, taking
the broad view that his re-nomination is es=
sential to the final overthrow of the rebellion
and the-complete safety of tlioGoveinment.
—lt-is notAo.be supposed that the unaniM
ity of _the press is altogether the result of-the
personal preferences of these journalists.
Newspapers are but the reflex of public senti
ment, and when they seemingly lead the peo
ple, are Itctually being led by thepeople them
selves. This is the fact in relation:to the unan
imity of the loyal Pennsylvania pressr.in fav& of
the re-election of Abraham- Lintoln .As if by
inspiration, the masses of the people were
unanimous` subject—county :after
county recording itself in favor of Ali., Liu
coles•re-election—organization after organi
eation'avowing its faith-in his administration
--until the enthuisiasra in his favor has be
come a power which it is dangerous to resist
and popular to acknowledge. Never, before,
in this' history of the country, since Jackson
elicited the liomage and the confidence of the
American people, did popular favor run higher
and stronger for anyman than it'now doesfor
Abraham Lincoln. He has earned, by the
purity of his private course and the patriotism
of his public career, the confidence of the
American people. And out of this . confidence
must ',spring that suecesa which is to ensure
the regeneration of the nation:
