It is an excelknt restorer of health and stremolt in the Spring. By renewing the appetite and vigor of the digestive organs, it dissipates the depression and listlesslan guor of the season.

It is tee indicate something mrere than a preference for one set of candidates before any other set, because in such n contest mere personal considennerns sink into comparative insignificance. The candidates fairly repre sent the principles•of the parties whose stand nuts they bear. The Democratic candidate for Governor exactly typitiett We spirit of the De tnocracy, which symmtbised with rebellion and omette I nothing during the war that could crabgrass the Federal anti State government. Publicly and privately, Mr. Puckaley weld through that period to our histtery protestine against every important war measure. His Democracy Was the Democracy of James Buchanan and Jeremiah S. Black, anti it ban not changed. Re still believes that the subjection of the south by force wets unconsti• tutional. lie holds to the ultra State-rights doctrines which made rebellion possible. Iles highest idea of patriotism is strict subservi ence to party behest. His devotion to party is so profound that he cannot be better than party. lie has occasionally shown symptoms of impulses 'above the Democratic tirade, but these symptans have bet n l r ineptly reproesed. Under most favorable circumstances iut can not be expected to favor any improve ment of the policy which lend become chronic with his party prior to its national downhill, and continues chronic with he is party where it has local sway. The creation of the debt or this Common wealth was mainly the work of the Democrat ic party. The•redactiou of that debt has been the work of the Republican party. When thi Republicans took the helm the debt was about forty millions. Ilad the war for national lite not been forced upon the country by the Dem °untie party,the debt would have been reduc ed very nearly one-ball, so that not more than twenty millions would remain to be paid to day. The policy of paying debts is,in a pub. Ile sense, peculiarly Republican. The policy of contracting debts is as peculiarly Democrat ic. Thus, in an era of profound peace, the national debt rise from about thirty 'millions in 1937 to about sixty-live millions in 1860. That is to say, under the tinanci d policy of the administratio a of James Bu chanan the debt of the nation rather more than doubled. In the eyes of Mr. Buclotlew Mr. Buchanan was the embodiment of Dem ocratic statesmanship. I f permitted to con trol State finances, he would probably take up Democratic policy where Mr. Buchanan left it. Ile Is an imitator, not an originator. Ile can only wo k after Dem,cratic models. The pi ople know whether they have had enough of that sort or financial numagetnent or Did. If they have not had enough of it they should vote for 31 r. BuckaleW. But if they have hail enough, or too much, of it,t hey will vote f..r General Matra' And if the people favor the employment of legislative appropriations to nuttier the politi cal ambition of any num, they should by all means vote for Mr. Buckalew. If he did not bargain for the support of a ruction of the Re publican party in his management of the Mc- Clure-Gray Senatorial contest, then facts and obvious indications no longer speak truth. Every sane man knows that if the testimony in that case proved anything, it proved that neither party was entitled to the seat, or that it belonged to Mr. Gray. Had Mr. Buckalewha committee remanded the whole subject to the people of the district it would have escaped the suspicion, since tendered a certainty, of bargain—one of the prospective ends of which was the support of a Republican faction or the present candidacy of its chairman. Again, if the people of this mate regard a man who used his position in the Senate of the United States to hinder the pr vcution if the war for the suppression of the Rebellion,a safe num for Governor, they will find such a man in fir. Buckalew. II the colored voters in the State prefer a man who voted to pre vent their becoming citizens, they will find such a man in Mr. BUClialelV. If anybody wants a man whose record during the - darkest hour in the history of the Republic was so tit. terly bad as to require hourly defence at this time—it anybody is in sear of such a man, Mr. Buckalew Is the very man sought. But if the people prele a man who has been steadily reducing the burden of State indebt edness, and all but abolished taxation of pro ductive industry for State purposes during the last six years, they Will find suck a man in Generalllartranft. If the people prch r man whose record during the war is its own invulnerable detence, they will tied such a man in General Ilartrauft. lie had no acci dental interviews with rebel emksaries; and when he met such persona he s•nt them his compliments iii the shape of shot aunt There is no question about General Ilartraull's position from 1861 to 1865, nor since. It the people want a man who, while accepting place and pay under the Federal government, not only did not meanly seek to stab the gov eminent, but did openly assault its (lies ; if the people want to honor such a man, they can do It by voting fcr General llnrtrault. And we take tio particular risk when we pre diet that the people of runiisylv.ia trill show that they prefer General Ilartran It to Mr. Buckalew in October. TII E YEIIIIES AFFIDAVIT Fro the Phlladt A. statement Is published purporting to be an affidavit of C. T.

We give an emphatic contradiction to its genuine. noss. It is a fabrication or a forger;•. Mr. Yerkes is now in prison and cennot make this contradiction in person; lint we s. , eak what the know When We say that he would brand it as it deserves if ue b,o liberty, lir were pet sunnily accessible. The set that the pretended affidavit is thrgcry is also proved by the lrstimony of Mr. Yerkes' confidential clerk and boot: keeper, and that of E. 01. Lewis. President of the Farmers' and Mechanics' Bank. The Fdt mole and Mechanics 13ank, is, by law, the fiscal agent of the State. The Slate loans, on their face, are payable anti transfer able there and there only, and the interest on them is payable there only. All the pur chases 01 loans l'or the State by the C6lllllliti- Moneta of the sinking fund were made by this back, a. eting oillcittilly for the State, and Mr. Yerkes was employed by this bank as its broker, to go into the market and make pur chases; and the evidence shows that Terkes was not employed by the Commissioners of the Sinking Fund at all, nor did be receive any commissions front them. The bank paid him for what he did for it, and the bank turned over the bonds to Ile Commistioners of the Sinking Fund at what they cost in the open market. The money to purchase them MIS furnished by the bank, and no part ot the Stele deposit with Yerkes was used for this purpose.

I" TTSVILLE, Sept. 7.—This morning, in the Criminal Court of Schuylkill county, in the trial of Joseph Brown, a boy eighteen years of age, for the murder, in February last, in IVashington township, this county, of Daniel S. Kramer, e wealthy farmer, and his aged wife, the jury brought . in a verdict of murder in the first degree. The trial commenced on Tuesday of last week, and has continued ten days, during which time voluminous evi !price of a circumstantial character has been adduced and wasof that the jury required lint little, time in makieg up their mind, having been out of the box but fifty 111 During the entire trial the prisoner main tained the utmost indifference, nail appeared to be totally oblivious to what was going on around hint ; and after the verdict had been rendered he assumed an air of braggadocio that could hardly be imagined by any who did not witness his stolid indifferi•nce. Ills coon- Bel moved an arrest of judgment and for a new trial, and Judge Green grated his coun• set until Wednesday next, in which to show cause, and appointed Saturday next at the day for argument. The case has elicited the atten• Oen of the entire community from the day of the commission of this most heinousct ime,and the verdict is received with entire satisfaction by all.

That he went to Canada as a Committee from the United Sates senut That Jerry Black was authorized to confer with them by special permission of our Government,and li. inform ed Buckalew :hat lie might talk titthem. This is Buckalew's own version of his interview with these traitors. Ile admits that he Mid no authority except from Jerry Black, floe,. nan's Aitorney-General, who gave, as his opinion, that he, BUChilll,lll, pO3I•SS. d 110 port or to coerce the Nebel States. The question naturilly arises, why did Bwkalerr, without direct plrmission, desire to hays ttti intcrvie or with these traitors? That Is the gu-stion No loyal man would seek such an interview. He says it took place in presence of his wife. Just the person of all others that would not exPo‘o any treasonable conversation that might take place. The following testimony during the trial of the assasssin, of Abraham Lincoln, which we find in the Hasrlsburgh Telegraph, shows the character of the persons with whom Buchalew voluntarily sought an interview: More Willinny of Iloehnlew'A Friends—The Murder of Lincoln it Part of 111,1.

POLITICAL NOTES Somebody has Just conceived Horace Gree. ey to be the " unstarched child of the press and plow." • The rumor that Horace Greeley has invest ed $3 75 In a new pair of presidential specta Iles wants confirmation. The London Times says the "mouth dis ease" in spreading among the English cattle. So it is among the Greel , y cattle in this coun try. Here it takes the shape of lying. A Boston letter to the Springfield Republi can save it the opinion of those who know him best, that Mr. Sumner is not likely long to survive ; indeed, his death at any moment would cause no surprise among his intimate friends. A correspondent of the Chicago Inter-Ocean consoles the readers of that journal with the remarks that• G.eeleyism is a fog that will soon blow over." Doesn't need to blow over. It's getting so thin everybody can see through it. Andrew Johnson's opening speech in his TenneFtee campaign was a great success. Af ter the ex-President had concluded, and as he was packing up his voluminous documents, a long haired 1111111, with a plantation handker chief round his neck. minuted a bench and yelled out : '•Oh, Mr. President"—The crowd told him to "diy up" "get down," etc., but he proved not to be a drying up sort. He was after information. '•I want to ask yer a ques tion, Mr. Johnson," he continued in a loud voice. "Certainly" said A. J., "I will an swer." "Then," said Long Hair, "did yer or did yuo not, during the war, say 'when yer hear a man prating about the constitution spot him for if traitor I" Johnson—"l have no recollection or saying that.
