ALLENTOWN, PA., WEDNESDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER
THE ISSUE IN THE sTAYE
The October election 18 to decide 'whether
the State government, as an entirety; is tee re
main in the hands of Republicans err be gar
rendered into the keeping of the Dfmocratic
party. 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

The set that the pretended affidavit is

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

to be totally oblivious to what was going on

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•

cause, and appointed Saturday next at the day
for argument. The case has elicited the atten•

even were they genuine: But they are not

‘Ve now turn to the testimony 01 Mr. Lewis

natural.
And it is also natural few men steeped in
frauds and speculations, and who are only

litical adveniurers, to disbelieve as somelhing
unprecedented, al the possibility of any man
embroiling public finance without degenered

And now let us dispose of the leest charge
against the integrity or General Hammitt. It

The various election precincts were then
called and the credentials of the del .gates re

The delegates from W W1(411:11'01, Mr. I.lrnry

the holding of the convention, be entered
upon the minutes.
On motion of 11. Ste wart the conycntion now

and on motion the nominations closed. The
convention then proceeded to ballot with the

—4 delegates refusing to vote.
Previous to the vote tieing taken 3. It. !Inn
sicker, Esq., protested against admitting the
delegates from Whitemarsh, unless they ac
knowledged the legality of the cimvention,
which they did not do, and upon which ground
they refused to vote for a candidate. Mr. 11.

stayed away from the conventh,n, and advised
them to go over to the Grant party where he

offering 11 resolution authorizing the chair to
appoint a committee of five to meet a similar
committee in Lehigh, with authority to in

Mr. Stew art said that it Is well known that
Lehigh has mot conceeded the candidate to
Montgomery. He explained the history bt
the party tor ten years past in regard to the

When the vote was taken by districts the
delegates from Whitemarsh declined to vote.
They were followed by John J. C. Harvey of

John .1. Morrison of Moore and who also de
clined to vote.
The chairman appointed the following corn,

Knipe, 11. U. Brunner, John McDermott,
Henry Kulp. The refusal to appoint Mr.

to the State of the money actually spent iu
sending ustnustered troops to Gettysburg,
where hundreds were slain in defence of th.
Commonwealth and the coun try— the same
being six hundred add sixty seven thousand
dollars—and that he treated the claim with
contempt and the State officers with contume
ly.
It is charged, and we challenge successful
contradiction, that Charles R. Buckalew, for
reasons that will be manifest to the most or
Binary understanding and fur reasons that are
certainly well understood by 'dimwit, Is sup•
ported and defended by livens, Payne,Miller,
Forney, and every scoundrel who started to
the foul fraud by which the Slate of Penney' ,
verde was robbed of five hundred thousand
dollars, and that he is opposed by Ilartrantt,
who exposed the infamous transaction,and by
liartranfre friends, who are determined that
the scatuldoms troth shall not only be laid
bare as to all of them,but that every one in•
gaged in that flagrant conspiracy and divlsion
or plunder shall be exposed, arraigned, con•
eicted and. pulliBllCd for their infarmius crime.
The above charges, touching Charles It
Buckalew's Mficial career, we are prepared to
maintidu and sustain, in a lawfully constitut
ed Court of this Commonwealth and before
the people. They are charges that cannot be
or ought not to be shirked, as they have been;
or lett unanswered, as they are likely to be.
Thi y are charges that come home to every
true and honest man In Penne)lvania, and as
they are successfully answered so ought the
p , polar verdict in October to be. lithe war
was "a failure," as Demothoate like Buckalew
assert, and if the lionshearted Democrats and
Republicans who gave up their lives to Free
dom, "died In vain," as the Rebel sympatie
zers declare, the shun and sure way, of . fixing
the fact lies in Buckalew's election.. There
is no use in beating about the hush in the
business, nor is it worth while for either
blockheads, soreheads or copperheads to deal
In empty humbug. Let them dare answer
the allegations and specifications touching
Buckalew, or Lt him dare answer them
himseff. No want no side iseues,no meaning

WAS GRANT DRUNK AT SHILOH ?
That Slander SqnPitched by a Compe
taut Witness.
WASHINGTON, D. C., Sept. 8, 1872
Long . Sinn'ling Slander Silenced
Cul. Stewart, of Indiana, now in this city,
has just received a letter frrm Gen. .1. D.
Webst_e_r y Chlef of Staff to Gen. Sherman dur
ing - tile war, in answer to one asking him, In
view of the charges that Gen Grant was in
tox'cated at Shiloh, to state whet he knew of
Gen. Grant's condition during the two days
of the battle, which effectually disposes of
this long Standing slander:
CHICAGO. Sept. 4, 1872.
Col. Limo. S. Stewart: Dear Sir—Your
note of the 2d inst. Is just received, and In re
ply I have to state that you are authorized on .
my behalf to deny in the most emphatic man
ner all the statements of General Grant hav
ing been drunk or in any degree under the In•
thence of liquor at the battle of Shiloh. I
was at this time his Chief of Staff and chief
of artillery. I breakfasted with thq, general
at Savannah, on Sunday, the first tidy of the
battle, went ~ou board the boat with him,
at about eight and a half o'clock, in person,
and was necessarily with him except
at intervals of absence on duty dur
ing the whole day. I laid down with him
long after dark at night on a small parcel of
hay, which the Quartermaster put down to
keep us out of the mud, in the rear of the ar
tillery line on the left, and I never heard till
long afterwards, of any idea entertained by
anybody that Ito was drunk, nor did I see him
drink during the day, and am sure he was
perfectly sober, as he was self-posesssed arid'
collected during the varying tiirtunes of that
celebrated battle. If there are any words in
which I can deny the miserable charge more
fully and distinctly I am ready to adopt them.
Very truly yours,
[Signed] J. D. W EBSTER,
Late brevet Major General volunteers, and
Chief of 1-tiff to Gen. W. T. Sherman.
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. I was prating
a good deal about the constitution at that time
myself." This was received with cheers,and
the long-haired man withdrew.
