Reasons for voting the People's Coun
ty Ticket.
The mon on the ticket are fully qualified
for the respective offices, for ti hick they
are nominated.
They are fully competent.'
An impartial man must acknowledge, that
they aro more competent than the demo
cratic nominees.
They have . never changed their politico
for office.
Old Whigs, they have been true to the
political party, to which they have been at,
tached, through disaster as well as under
more flattering prospects.
Consistency in politics, wherever met
with, should meet with public favor
The E cal of condemnation should be
stamped on men, whose politics change
with the wind, and who are members of — a
party solely for office,
Democratic leaders should be rebuked.
There is a renegade at the head of the
English organ of the Party, the Allentown
Democrat, who left the party in 1656, be:
cause his father was not nominated for
Sheriff, and who came back again to the
party, because he thought, that his father
would be nominated for Sheriff.
If Charles B. llaintz is defeated for the
her:ffalty, other traitors and renegades will
learn the lesson, that an honest, straight
forward course is the best.
There _is no reason, why Democrats
should vote for a Know Nothing for Sheriff.
It the People's candidates for Assembly
are elected, the 'county will save two hun
dred dollars. See card in another col
umn
There is no reason, -why DemocrAts
should vote for an old whig for Assembly
on the democratic ticket. If a whig is to
be elected, let us have a simon-pure whig.
The county Will save One hundred dol
lars by electing the People's candidate for
County Treasurer. Sec card in another
column.
The People's candidate for Director of
the Poor and County Commissioner will do
all in their power to lesson the enormous
expenditures of the county.
The Peoples party in their resolutions
on Saturday took two steps in economizing,
which will save the county three hundred
dollars. This is but a small item in the
amount, which might be saved, if' the Di
rectors of the Poor, and County Commis
sioners would properly care for the guan
nes of the county.
To be Slaughtered.
It has been suggested ; that the Demo
crats took up their ticket for the purpose of
slaughtering some of the candidates and
getting them out of the way. If the Dem
ocracy return to the old land-marks and
carry out the established rules of the party,
put Democfats on the ticket, and not rene
gades from the• other side, there stay be a
chance of success. As it is, however, it
has been remarked by a Democratic friend,
the Democratic party is in a fitir way of be
ing used up.
SiiirC. B. Ilaintz was a Know. Nothing.
In another column will be found the sworn
proof. In 1856 was C. B. Haintz asked
under oath before a Democratic Delegate
Convention, as to whether he was a Know
Nothing ?
,If se, tvliat,was the answer ?
Was ho asked the same question under oath
at any
,other gathering ? If so, what was
his answer
The Democratic Party.
If there ever was a time when the Dem
ocratic party should be defeated, it is
now. That the Democratic party will be
defeated iii the State by an overwhelming
majority, Democrats themselves must con
cede. That it should be defeated there aro
many reasons. The Democracy have pla
ced in power a President, universally un
popular, a man who has proven faithless
to his pledges, and turned traitor to his
friends. The warmest Democrats cannot
but acknowledge that he has blundered in
his Administration, whilst the great bulk
or the party secretly execrate his name.. A
citizen of Po.insylvania, he should have
cared with a zealous eye for the interests
of his native state. Never was a better op
portunity afforded. Financial disasters
were upon us. The people called for pro
tection. Pennsylvania strongly demanded
it. The President pretended to be in fa,.
vor of protection, and yet whilst • all the
power of the administration was used in
carrying out the views of the President in
the Kansas issue, n Democratic Secretary of
the Treasury was allowed to make a report,
arguing against. a protective tariff. The
Opposition clamored for an increase of tariff
rates : the Democratic party would allow
.no-change'• the/tariff, . The Democracy
of Lehigh, thus afloat, and cut loose from
an Administration,. they cannot but con
demn, arc left to rally only in the name of
the Democratic.party. The name is empti
ness. The life-blood of the party has
been lost. Its cherished principles have
been deserted, and the members of a party
are left to hang on to a lifeless corpse. The
name is all, that is left to rally the people
of the county. When, however, we come
to home and county matters, the Democracy
.find, that Jordan is a hard road to travel.
On the ticket are placed a Know Nothing
for Sheriff, and an old Whig for Assembly.
At the head of party organs are men, who
have for years gone-by been laboring hard
against the party, in the ranks of the op
position. • The old standards will not recog
nize such Democracy. No wonder, then,
that the party get up such small meetings
in the country ; that there are members of
the party, who will riot
. go to the election;
and that there are others, who openly
bolt. The Democracy- themselves are pre
pared for, the worst, and we should not be
surprised if.their misfortunes exceed their
expectations. The great struggler is
to elect a Sheriff. For this they would
trade away the rest of the ticket. Let,
however, Republicans beware. We have
a noble man fur Sheriff, and let not Repub
licans be seduced from his support by flat.
tcring bargains, promises or any induce
ments. Charles B. )Hintz has no claims
on the office, and certainly none on Republi
cans.
The Tonnage Tax.
Democratic Politicians have been endeav
oring to get up the report, that the Penn- 1
sylvania Railroad company.have sent.three
thousand dollars to• Carbon county and an
equal amount to Lehigh for the purpose
of electing the People's Legislative ticket,
with the understanding, that the members
elect will vote for the repeal of the tonnage
tax. After seeing the card of General Win
tersteen and Samuel Kistler to be found in
another column, the people acquainted with
these gentlemen will be satisfied, that these
reports are false. The people of our own .
county know, that a more truthful and hon
est man than Samuel J. Kistler is not to be
found in the county and that his word is
as good as his bond. It is but one of the little
tricks of a &Operate and sinking cause. A
word further, however, on the tonnage tax
question. The maine line of the Public
/ 3
Works was s 1,,, when both branches of the
Legislature wre democratic. The remain
der of thv 'nbi i c 11' ork. have been sold to the
Sunbii+y-N l ‘til Erie Railroad Compsny, when
both branches or the LegiXlature Avi. e dew
(wrath:. The democrats have the li tor of
having bartered away the Public Wt . •ks for
a mere song. Lass winter the op osition
had a large majority in the House, an sot
a word was breathed about the repeal of the
tonnage tax. When the swindling rail-road
speculators have had favors to ask, they
have asked them of the Democratic Legisla
ture and not of the opposition, and if money
has been sent into our . District the probabil
ities are, that it is in the hands of demo
cratic leaders.
IVlonesr.
The ALLENTOWN DEMOCRAT intimates
that the Opposition will undertake to carry
the County with money. Such is not the
case. We expect to carry the County part
ly because of the People's disapprobation
of a Democratic Administration at WashL,
ington, partly because in the hands of the
Democratic party county matters bave been
mitdanaged, and 'partly because we have
the best men on our ticket. With such
reasons we are willing to go before the people.
It is somewhat strange, however, that the
Democratic party off,ehigh with all the oe
flees in their Maids, and heretoforealways
flush in money, arc all at once getting very
poor. The. cry of poverty, however, will
not go down. The people are not to be
hoodwinked by the cry of poverty into the
support of men and measures for the bene
fit of interested rich men. •
Recorder.
Will the friends of JosePh Saeg,er bear
him in mind on'election day? lie is indus
trious, deserving, fully competent,' and
would make an efficient officer. Recollect,
that although unable to speak, helms a
son, who can speak with all persons coming
to the office, either in German or tEtiglish,
and can communicate with his father.
The Bell-Hamel Ticket.
Old Democrats, who have worked a life
time for the party, have been compelled to
stand aside, and the Convention took .ntra
Know Nothing for Sheriff and an old Whig
for Assembly. flow will the. old-liners•
stand this? •
THE LEHIG
Getting Desperate.
The Democracy aro aware, that they are
in a miserable plight. The old file-leaders
do not relish the idea of receiving instruc
tion in the Democratic faith from the Edi
tors now at the head of their party organs.
The Editor of the REPUBLIKANER was but
a few years since at the head of the German
organ of the opposition. The Editor of
the DEMOCRAT stepped fresh from the REG
ISTER into the English organ of the party.'
Ho admitted that he had been playing the
rascal with the opposition for three succes
sive years, and that he had done the lying
•and dirty work of the party. What assu
rances have honest Democrats,, that he is
not playing the rascal again ? Not only,
however, do renegades from the opposition
manage the party organs, they must like
wise have the offices. A Know Nothinf ,
gets the nomination for Sheriff. An old
line Whig gets on the ticket for the Assem
bly. It becomes hard for the old-liners to
say, whether they are any longer in the
Democratic party. The party has also been
noting badly generally. Nobody has confi
dence in President Buchanan. Every-body
believe him to be an old reprobate. Coming
to matters nearer at home there has been
gross mismanagement in State and County
,matters. A Republican Assembly_endeav
, ored to loiver ibe state tax; the Democrat
ic Senate prevented it. The democracy
raised the salary of members of the Legis
lature to, seven hundred dollars. The de-•
Tammy raised our county tax. The affairs
of the county 'hate been miserably misman
aged, as everybody knows. They see im
pending doom written on the wall. They
endeavor to elect a Sheriff on the plea of _
poverty --- We understand that someare so
gracious as to vote the Republican State
ticket, provided Republicans will vote for \
the Democratic candidate for Sheriff. Let
Republicans beware of this dodge' of the
enemy. Lies are resorted to. It has been ui
reported, that three thousand dollars have ai
been sent into Carbon county and three rio
thousand into our own county, to secure •prl
the election of candidates pledged to the
repeal of the tonnage tax. The report is a or
lie; known to be a lie by such as circulate
it, we care not how respectable their charac
ters. We repeat, we brand as deliberate
liars all such as circulate the lastmcntioned
report, and what we write on paper, we .are
ready to say to their face. Wo might speak
of some other weak inventions of the one- 1
my, but believing that the people of the
county are not so readily gulled, we look
forward with hope to the pending election.
Let every Republican in the county be
the polls. If defeat should be our IP'
not be said, that is was b e ,•-•
not done our best.
We copy the annexed affadavit, sworn to
by Mr. F. 11. Weidner, lately a well known
citizen of our county, proving beyond a
doubt, that Charles B. Haintz, the Demo
cratic candidate for Sheriff was a Know
Nothing. It is due to Mr. Weidner and
ourselves to say, that we have been compel
led to take this course in consequence of
the persistent efforts of Mr. Baintz's friends
to deny this fact. If the fact had been ad
mitted,no proof would have been necessary.
It is, however, established beyond a doubt,
and denial hereafter will amount to nothing.
We further add, that we could have tho af
fidavit of other persons to establish the
same fact. We would like to know wheth
er Mr. Haintz was interrogated at any po
litical gathering, as to whether he had been
a Know Nothing, and if so, what was his reply.
Lehigh County, :
Personally and voluntarily 'appeared before

tha't said Order, in which the said Haintz was

DISTRICT ATTORNEY'S. OFFICE,
'Octobertth, 1857.
The atteon of all good citizens, and of
election officers especially, is called , to the
following sections of the Act of Assembly
relative to elections :
" In all cases where the name of the persons
claiming to vote is not found on the list fur
ished Vy the Commissioners and Assessor, it
shall be the duty of the Inspectors to examine
such person on oath as to his qualificitions,
and if ho claims to have resided within the
State for one year or more, his oath shall be
sufficient proof thereof; but he shall make
proof by at least one competent witness, who
shall be a qualified elector: that he has resided
within the district for more than ten days next
immediately preceeding said election; and shall
also himself swear that his bona fide residence.
in pursuance of his lawful calling, is within
the district, and that he did 'not remove into
the said district for the purpose of voting
therein.
" If any Inspector or Judge shall receive the
vote of any person whose name shall not be re
turned on the list furnished by the Commis
sioners or Assessor, without first requiring the
evidence directed in the act, the person so of
fending shall, on conviction, be tined in any
sum not less than fifty, nor more than two
hundred dollars."
Immediate prosecutions will follow any dis
regard by the election officers of these most
vital requisites of a fair election by the people,
and I can upon the good citizens of all parties
to see that the lair be faithfully observed by
their agents, to note any disregard or violation
of it, and to report forthwith such conduct to
this office, with the name of the person so 'of
fending. On the redeipt of such information I
will at once draw Bills of Indictment , and send
them with the witnesses before the Grand Jury.

"Upper-Macungie township, instead, of John
Liolitenwaluer: . • ,
Charles B. Heintz a Nam No ,g.
The Allentown Pemoorat of this w .k
ehallanges ns in the sum •of ono hundred dot:
lars.to produce the Constitution and Bye
Laws of a Know Nothing Order, with the
appended signature of Charles B. .Hairtz.
Whether that Constitution has been de
stroyed or not wb know not. We are how
ever willing to forfeit our whole printing
establishment, if we fail to prove by a number
of witnesses that Charles B. Heintz went
through a process of initiation, by which
he became recognized as a member of a
secret political organization, commonly
known as Know Nothings, provided
.the
Editor of the Allentown Democrat will
agree to forfeit his printing establishment,.
if we succeed in establishing the truth or
the above proposition. Let the Editei
come up to the scratch if he dare.
The Meeting at Trezlertown.
We received a communication from 'a
friend at Trexlertown stating, that the Dem.
ooratic meeting at that place on Saturday
afternoon last 414 a complete failure. Th•
Democratic' politicians from the borough
found no audience in the afternoon, and
then adjourned until the evening, when but ;
a very few persons made their appearance.;
The truth is, thepeople of the _county
not be aroused into an enthusiasm in the
support of a party, when all its measures in
the management of county matters are
wrong and wrong only.

An Honest Confession.
"An honest confession is good for the
soul." the Allentown Democrat of •this

"Tn order to carry the county on next.
Tuesday it is absolutely necessary that every
democratic vote in the county be deposited in
the ballot box."
We say, that if every Republican vote is
out, the county is ours. Will Republicans
bear this jn mind ?

NORTH WHITEHALL, Sept. 30th 1859.
MESSRS. EDITORS.—Having heard malty peo
ple of this place aqd vicinity express their
opinion in regard to the nominations of the dif
ferent persons composing- the opposite tickets
for the approaching contest I deem it not im
pertinent, for me, in making myself instrumen
ts.) towards giving publicity to the sentiment of
this place, in regard to the matter. Knowing
also by the way the eagerness you manifest in
publishing whatever iti., : trse and impartial. I
submit this to you Wittv;the confidence of its
finding room in the coiumns . of your respected
paper. But to the subject. To come out and
take it the nearest way, the substance of po
litical debate, among our citizens, is about as
follows. As a matter of Course, they begin at
the top of the tibket. Speaking about the as
pirants for Assembly the Democrats all express
great sorrow and indignation at their nomi
nee, saying that they could not conscientious
ly vote for'Eitteithard, " For" said they, " there
is too much Democratic rawness about him;
he has not been with the party long enough to
insure us of his stability as a Democrat."
"And". say they, " we do not know when he
may Wu poqpd andjoin another party
again." 't Ant :Wit is this time," they say
" here is Kistler, Ite•is . undeniably a man of es
tablished lstrgrity.. abundantly qualified for
the. oils*, ..;snd has pledged himself in case
thEi salary of Assembly-men cannot be reduced
to, pity.Maitt.ths County Treasury." " Now
What Shall we notllspport such a man ?" This
is about the tenotlof the argument used here by
the Democrats, and let me assure you and eve
rybody else, that the votes polled for the turn,
coat Eisenhard, at the coming election can be
borne in the eve.
. .
But what am I able to say in imitati 0
what the Democrats say about Haint ?
think . it is worse than folly for me o temp
to describe how manifold and diverge re th
execrations called down upon him. • Why'
say.they "are we so far relapsed into wicice•
ness and ignobleness as to support a Kno•
Nothißg ?" "No the powers forbid it !"
" We will not support a man who has swor
allegiancaito a party, the principles of whic.
it li, our cordial. pleasure to denounce."
" Why" say they " this is the course he h
pursued for the last twelve years •, tryi.
to get into office, and' he has so far be , .
rejected ...by all parties, why shall we
so base AS to support him ?" By the way
cannot help saying to myself—being imp
tial—that the conduct of Mr. Heintz is,
bass 'Afton hitherto rather suspicious. • He
.defeat. I would advise 'him to
prepared for meeting it, as it will inevit
come so to pass. This is the manner in ••
the.whole Deinocratio ticket is treated by
own, party in North Whitehall, the deep
of which .would however, be too laborio

for Assembly, Boise! for Sheriff, will I
