ME proposed Amendment• to the State Constitution, which is to be voted upon next week, will put the election of State Treasurer the hands of the people and will be an ef !active measure looking to reform. HORACE GREELEY claims 300,000 Democrats and Liberals in Pennsylvania. If that is all they can scare up we can beat them by 50,000 majority. We polled 342,000 votes for Pr sl dent Grant In 1868, and wo will poll 050,000 for flartrarift in October. HORACE GRRELEY'S heresy teaches us to love the men who attempted to destroy the Government and hate the men who saved it. Not only has General Grant been attacked by Greeley, but be denounced unjustly, and In terms worthy of Jell' Davis, the soldiers who recently assembled at Pittsburgh. We don't like that kind of reconciliation, ONE of the members of the Greeley Club, who assisted in tendering 11. G. an ovation, aSSFaugaIdtichTUAIVOTTItriVIC,I'Jii - I,l , 'ittl ';ld cuss, (referring to Greeley); all lie tared for was the election of Buclialew.

MOSE who are not party bound cull !MI find a more acceptable candidate for Congr, than James S. fiery, Esq. Although tot Member of any Temperance organization, lii• is temperate and correct in all his habits. His reputation stands high in this county and, it elected, will do honor to the Sixth District. nis character is a bright contrast to that of Wm. FL Witte. SEND LN 'IF:TURNS. We hopc our friends throughout the county will use every endeavor to send us the returns as soon altvl'th elec tion as possible. We want,partic ularly, the vote for . Governor and Auditor General,Congressinan and Congressmen -at-T arge. POLL EVERY VOTE We urge upon our friends to gel out every Republican vote next week. If we do this the Democratic majority w ill be cut down very considerably. It may not give us any advantage in the county now, but it will re suit to our advantage in the future. The smallness of the Democratic majority will de pend entirely upon how well we get out our vote: Wo have at least 5,300 Republicans who ought to vote our ticket next week. II we get all of these to the polls, the Democratic majority wilt not be over one thousand. Is not this worth working for ? . HORACE Ganatior said, at Allentown, that $476,000 is more than H. thousand men can earn by years of honest labor. Divide the Bum by one thousand and it will give $476 to each man, an amount, Greeley says, it 'will take years of honest labor for a man to earn. Greeley might - consider $l6O or $llO a year good wages for men to support, families upon under such an administration as he would give us, but under Grant our laboring men get more than that. No mention this assertion of Greeley merely us a sample of the wild and Irresponsible statements he makes. Surely, no man of Judgment can say lie is a lit candi- date for President. Hort. EPHRAIM L. ACKER Is out in a circa. let addressed to the Democratic Voters of Le. high county. Unfortunately for our M. C., he wrote the circular himself and its language does not, therefore, bear the •impress of that intelligence and ability which we naturally connect with a Member of Congress. Olio point he overlooked—that is, the Tariff ques. tion. He refers to the purity of his record. Well, It may be pure, but that is not enough. Ephraim was not depended upon as a Priitec.. live Tariff man in the last Congress and there. fore cannot receive the suffrages of sensible people In Lehigh county. Ile has a old us he is not a Free nailer. Alen of this class are liable to split hairs on this question. Accord ing to this definition of the term, perhaps lie Is not a Free Trader, but us we understand it ho is. Acker favors a Tariff, to be sure—a Tariff for Revenue, and we all know that a Tariff which will yield the greatest revenue will be ono which will be so adjusted os to in crease Importations. Ile is now nod always has been opposed to that system of Protection, which ho has falsely asserted, robs the South ern planters and the Western agriculturists, to put money In the pockets of the monopo. lists of the Middle and Eastern States. We prefer Mr Blery, who stands upon the Tariff question as did Henry Clay—advocating Pro tection as a National policy—ono that will build up manufactures,encourage agriculture, giving plenty of work and good pay to labor. tag men end enriching the whole country. A VILE SCHEME EXPOSED. rorney's Press,in the present campaign, in its attacks upon General llartranft,bas proven itself one of the most unscrupulous, most in• famous sheets ever published, oven excelling the old Pennsylvanian, upon which Forney achieved notoriety. The Press relied upon Dr. Paine for a great deal of information upon which to base Its slanders. It then sustained Dr. Paiuc's character, although he was con victed of the crime of selling bogus medical diplomas. Paine, It appears, for some rea son, fell out with Forney and was afterwards heard to remark that Evans lifted $50,000 mortgage from the Press building. This fact was published in the rinfiefin,when the Press denounced Paine as a scoundrel and n liar. Paine, It seems, was a good enough man for the Press, as long as he lied against Ilintranit, but the moment he commenced letting cats' out of the bag against Forney, the l'ress could find no words strong, enough to express its outraged feelings. While Yerkes was kept in the Penitentinty, the Press denounced his confinement as only a means of keeping him where the enemies of Hartranft could not get at him ; now that Yerkes is released the Press says that Y mites' denial o f the genuine ness of the signature attached to the affidavit, charging General llartrauft with malfeasance in office,was the pricy of his ( erkes')pardon. Whatever tin Press may say upon this sub ject, we are confident Its assertions will now have no weight with honest men. Mr. Yer kes' statement, whirls we publish below, is a sufficient exposure of the vile scheme concoct. ed by plunderers to shield themselves from punishment, and adopted by onscrupulim3 and characterless copperheads to defeat the Republican party. Mr. ) erkes' statement is as follows : In coining before the people with this ex planation, which relates to the charges against Gen. J. F. Harwell ft, late Auditor General, and now a candidate for Gavel nor of this Stab!, and It. W. M.kelt”y, State Tremurer,of having used through me the mosey of the Commonwealth in stock speculations, and for heir private needs and benefit, it is my desire to make some plain statements which the pub• lie demand, and which I believe it not only their right to have, but my duty to diem and myself to give. I wish to say here,L s some wrong construc tion be placed upon my motives fur so doing, that this action on my part is without consul. tation with or promise (loin any one ; with out any inducements held o u t to 1110 and without fear oa favor. It is free from an mid. ice or feelings of resentment. I leave those who have wronged me to their own rellee: thins. It is simply for the reasons set forth above, and to do justice to those who have been unrightemsly vilified. Ido not intend to enter into any personalities tt the present time, other than what will be necessary for a clear understanding of the matter. While a-victim has been made of me, dupes have been made of others by a few designing no n, who used everything mud everybody within their reach Tor the purpose of circular hug and publishing assertions and statetnents winch were false in the exit eme, with the oh. ject of breaking clown the character of Geoer• ul llartran ft, in the hopes of tit rehy prevent ing his election, which they felt assured would insure silence in regard to, and a set tlement of, their nefarious transactions. This was to be brought about princmally by Dr. Paine, who, as nit financial affairs were un der the control of Mr. Jos. Mason, Register in Bankruptcy, obtained from that gentleman an order to examine my honks and pipers, re presenting' himself to be counsel for Mr. M. W. Taggart, of Lancaster county. It wits under this disguise that he visited my office and surreptitiously obtained letters and mem orandums of accounts—trout which the vari ous misrepresentations were manufactured - NV ith the view 01 compelling General Ilartratift and Mr. Mackey to settle the Evans elaims,in which he (Paine)is so deeply interested. In the hollowing statement I shall not only give my own testimony of the facts in the case, but that of others, which shall be nude niahle. • The public have for a long time demanded to know the truth as to the authenticity of a certain affidavit alluding to General hart• ran It's allgged multeasance in office, and which bears what purperis to be my signa ture ; copies DI which, both photograph and lithograph, have been widely circulated lor nulti lcul. 4nrinises, //t.rt ttitrik.` r iSr.ll I'HIMETO IS NO l' MINE; that I never math. any such affidavit ; and if sworn to at all (which fact I have no Bowl is,s to dOlthl, as it isSsiqleil it was i,worn to in my name), it wasnoi BW. reto by inv.

General Ilartranit's account with me was of a perfectly private character and had no connection with or rein lion to the account of the Commonwealth whatever, any more than though the State ac count had nocheen kept with me. Mr. Marts. ey never gave me an order to buy any stock for his or any other account. As Mr. Yerkes' books are in the 11:n1,19.1'1)1s assignees, lie appends a copy of correspond ence, including a letter from the assignees' clerk, which proves conclusively that the ac count of the State Treasurer was kept under the title "R. W. Mackey, State Treasurer ; it was not kept in any mys'erions manner, as charged by the Press, but under a clear led • ger heading of the party's came as State Treas• urer ; that no account under the head of .1. F. 11. was kept, as charged by the Press, but Hartrantt's account was kept under the title of J. F. llartranft, there was no mystery about it and the account was kept the same tis other accounts ; that J. F. Ilartrauft's a.'connt tv; s never beneffited by the transfer orstatc fonds, as the Press has also charged. Ilere wehave the certificate or Yerkes, and the letter of the assignees' bookkeeper, certified to by use of the assignees, totally disproving the charges originated by Paine, and spread before the public by Forney. We have In addition the certificate signed by prominent bankers and brokers disproving the genuineness of the sig. nature to what is known as the Yerkes nflida vit. Can the people any longer doubt that Forney is the rogue and that he is now' in an underhand manner worning to defeat Grant ? We think this efV!ctually',disproves all the slanders againstllartranft, which have had their foundation upon this forged affidavit mid false statements of Yerkes' book accounts. But we have one more word to say. There appears to be a wide-spread impression that Yerkes was convicted for using State funds. This is not so. The charged was based upon the use of Philadelphia city funds and viola ting a law that applies. to Philadelphia alone. Ills recommendation for p irdon was signed by the Jurymen who \ convicted him, by the Judges who passed seiitencoLdipon him, ,and by a long list of sotto of the most mond. neat men in Philadelphia. Loox OUT for frau - as. A party that can forge an affidavit to make capital against an opponent, is'capablo of doing anything that in Qlie•and mean. THE LEHIGH REGISTER, ALLENTOWN. WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 2, 1872. HENRY WILSON is decidedly a Protective Tariff man. Gratz Brown Is decidedly a Free Trader, yet there nro ignorant, bigoted men lu the Lehigh Valley, who owe everything they own to a Protective Tariff, who will cast their votes for this man in November. Hor. ace Greeley has pledged himself to make no recommendation in • favor of a Tariff. He has also pledged himself to sign a Free Trade bill whenever a majority in Congress will say they want Free Trade. All this he has pledged in the event of his election ;yet we have no doubt. that Horace Greeley, a neutral on the Tariff question, and Gratz Brown, an open Free Trader, will poll a majority of from 500 to 1000 in this county. Does this not prove con clusively that although this county depends upon the continuance of a Protective Tariff for its prosperity, it will vote at any time for Free Trade? We think it does, though we need no such recent proof to convince us of the fact. In 1870, when the issue was fairly and square ly made upon the Tariff question, John H. Oliver, a Tariff man, with a widespread pop ularity to back him, was beaten 141 votes by Ephraim L. Acker, a life-long Free Trader. Whenever the people of this county are called upon to decide upon Democratic supremacy nod Free Trade on the one hand, and Repub lican supremacy and Protective Tariff on the other hand, they will, as they always have done, accept that contingency which is coupled with Free Trade. We want no more talk front Democrats in advocacy of Protection. There is no sincerity in 'them. They love their country ; they love prosperity, but they love their party more. Ir YOL:1: township is not fully or; - ranized, go to work at once. Do not waste a single moment. The good time for Lehigh County Re publicans is coming! We want to make the vote this year count in swinging Lehigh over into the hands of honest men ! Therefore see that every man on the Registry is known to you, and that no illegal votes are polled- The more un scrupulous of the Democratic lead ers boast that they will poll over 2.000 majority ! This forces from us the gravest suspicions that they intend to perpetrate frauds if they can. . It will therefore be impor tant that our Republicans have good, active Vigilance Committees at work from now till the hour of closing the polls on election night. JUDGE ID EREUR No gentleman who ever visite] this city left behind him a more favorable Impression that Judge Meacur. llis genial manners won him many a warm friend, and although it was not proper for him to make a speech and reach the popular heart in this way, the high esti• minion in which he is already held by the people of the State will lead them to vote for him on the eighth of Oetobi r. The Demo cratic papers, as far as we have seen, have had no word of censure, no charges to heap upon him. Be is universally regarded as an etni. nently proper gentleman for the t l,h position of Judge of the Supreme Court, and therefore none can be found vile enough to attack. But there is, therefore, danger that not enough importance has been attached to the election of Supreme Judge and many votes may he al lowed to be lost. We urge upon those who attend t h e polls that they allow none of the are voted along with the others. J .t ,12 ES S. 1111: RV congralulate the Republicans of this Distr et upon the choice 01 James S. Iliery, ISsq., fur t'engress. Our Lehigh county men knew him as a gentleman or incorruptible rity. Th, yli ow him a; a Strong tariff matt. Ile , lavon: none or yoor 'Tariff for Revenue, hut a Tariff for Protection, aTariff to but up Wages 111 workingmen, and the higher the better. Ile is practically a self made :non ; he believes in sehmil houses,edu cation for the masses, and good wages to workingmen that they may be enabled to al, loss' their children to enjoy the educational facilities that a beneficent government has placed at their disposal. There is no milk and water shout him, but he is heart and soul for the prosperity of the industries, the great manufacturing, agricultural and mercantile Interests of Pennsylvania. There is not n man M o tile county who should not work for his election from now until the close of the polls on the 9th day of October. \VI:: owe it as a duty to the sol dii,rs of Pennsylvania to defeat Buck:dew by an overwhelming m ijority. Remember his Fishing Creek (Amfederacy,his votes in the S,nate apitinst, the soldiers, his votes against the Amendments, and lii conference with trait,..,rs at Ni tglira Lnss than two years ago Greeley solemnly {lechired there was no office in tho universe that would be any inducements to him to forego or postpone protection to home indus try. Ile lots sitter not only pledged ' , himself not to veto nny measures which a free•trade Congress might pass, but has avowed his b: lief that taxation should be imposed for pur. Imses of revenue alone, and Is to day, through his permed organ, the Tribune, supporting and trying to elect to Congress such notorious champions of free trade a a Congressman S. S. Cod THE Liberals say they do not approve of National interference with the State govern• mints. Neither do the Republicans In affairs ,that are purely local, but when a State under• takes to infringe upon the rights of National citizenship of any of its people, then we are fur National interference and National protec. tiuu. We claim that tie right of such inter. Terence and protection is guaranteed us by the Amendments to the Constitution, a fact which Greeley's copperhead friends seem to have lost sight of,or do not Wish to acknowledge. • Ynunes and :Niamey have been pardoned and released. This is the first opportunity Mr. Yerkeshas had to pronounce the slgna. ture attached to what is known as the "Yer kes Affidavit" a forgery. Several prominent bankers of Philadelphia, with whom Yerkes did business, also pronounce the signature a counterfeit. Thus the expense incurred in lithographing the affidavit and spreading It before the people of the State, proves to be money thrown away. IN his letter accepting Bill,Blgler's place on the Democratic ticket, Mr. Curtin acknow ledged that he did not know much about the political situation in this State. Ile therefore called In McClure for his teacher. McClure thought if he got Curtin all right there would be no Republican party left In Pennsylvania, but Alex has undoubtedly since learned that the people have no more confidence in hie teachings when retailed by Curtin, than they have when they come from McClure direct. ANDREW G. CURTIN has gone ever to the enemy. It is a very unfortunate • move for Curtin, but he will have no one but himself to blame. Ills duty was marked out plain be fore him, but thp alluring promises of Alex McClure were too much for hltn. Aattranft was a Curtin man and stood by the great War Governor through thick and thin. Andy's desertion to a life long opponent of the cause of Freedom Is, therefore, more reprehenSible, and It is especially hypocritical in him to base the cause upon high moral grounds. We ac• cord due honor to Curtin for his noble defence of the principles of the Republican party dur holt, the war, but be faltered when Johnsonism was rampant and finally deserted to the ene my, though fortunately at a time when his going will find few followers. Andy Curtin has done good service for us as a leader, but now his rallying cry would carry us into the ranks of our lifelong enemy and, thank God, the people know right from wrong, if he doesn't. His treachery to the President shows him up in a bad light. President Grant stood up manfully in his defence when the most powerful opposition was brought to bear against his appointment as Minister to Russia. In the face of all this opposition, the Presi. dent stood by him and proved himself every incil.a man. Now Curtin goes for Greeley. When Curtin set himself up as a great moral reformer, he assumed a character that he can not sustain. We would not take one single laurel from his brow, and In memory of his good deeds we refrain from referring to his shortcomings. But lie knows that we cannot look to the Democratic party to reform abuses. All the advancement that has been accom plished during the past twelve years has been made by the Republican party in opposition to every obstacle that was placed in our way by the Democracy. Now Andrew G. Curtin has chosen to place his mortal body im the way of the car of progress by going over to The Democratic party, but he must pot com plain when it rolls over him and crushes him along with his new-found company. Sum• ner, the greatest American scholar, alongside of whom Curtin is but a pigmy, attempted to destroy our party, and failing, went to Europe —what will Curtin's weak voice avail against the overpowering voice of the people ? CONGRESS:MEN•AT•LARGE Little has been said in the present canvass about Congressmen-at-large. They will exer cise just the same important duties as District Congressmen. They will help mould the pol icy of the Government and it is of the same urgent importance that we secure a good working majority in the lower branch of Con gress as it is that we elect our President. Be• publicans must not therefore neglect to see that every Republican vote is cast for Con• gressnum-at•Large, They will. be voted for upon the County Ticket and every voter mart see that he votes this tieket. The Republi cans have placed in nomination duce of the best men in the Slate. Our opponents have searched throughout the Slate for three men to match them, and they have searched in vain. Tliey scared up Dick Vaux, a foe to the working than, an aristocratic boy of wind: Hendricks B. Wright, a played out, imbecile politician, and James Hopkins, of Pittsburgh, the only one of the three whom decent men can vote f r and then have any respect for themselves afterwards. tin our side we have lion. Lotnuel Todd, of Carlisle, of whom his bitterest enemy is bound to speak with respect. Gen. Charles Albright, a man whose pure character has served as a shield to turn the edges of the darts that have been thrown at . him by vicious and unscrupulous political Toes ; and Hon. Glenni W. Scofield, whose simple denial of a charge is sufficient to brand it as a lie, so high is he held in the esteem 01 all good men. Republicans, these are candi dates who reflect the greatest honor upon put, lienn party. See that you allow no neg .leel to .leprice t h e so of 20,000 niajoray. OUR COUNT ' TIC di El Reader, it' you have any - desi c to sec the work of'leefonn ecnonenead iu this county give some wtention to the C•oonty Ticket.

Are you who own your houses and your farms willing to continue paying money out of your savings year after year when you don't know what is done with it ? When your stewards are asked to give an account of the people's affairs, they cannot give an account which th,y can swear to as correct. One party places the debt at '532 . 5,000, another at another figure and the Auditors had it $BO,OOO less than the actual amount. Is this business ? Are your clerks capable of filling the • positions in which you have placed them ? Is not their conduct in valved is suspicion ? We ask you to consider these questions NV iihout prejudice and then vote as your judgment may direct, so as to serve, the best interests of putt self, your friends and neiglthors. THE sworn ttistimouy establishing the fact that Buckalew was not only to a of the Sons of Liberty, but that as manager and adviser of tne Fishing Creek Confedracy, be put in prac tice the principles of the order, has produced great consternation among his supporters. In the light of this development the people per ceive how perfectly consistent was his course in the-Senate, in voting steadily against any measure fee the prosecution of the war and se curing the fruits of the victory. In the Sen. ate, in doing whatever lie could In embarrass the government, he was but carrying out 'the principles of the order ; and deserters and rebel sympathizers in making the nome of Bucks few their place of refuge, not only manifested their confidence in him, but obeyed that in. stlnct which impels conspirators and law breakers to seek counsel and direction from the leader who has none most to set them in the wrong course. These men knew Mr. Buckalew as a sympathizer and friend. Ile was not only a friend of the South, but was heartily In the plans of opposing the govern. and aiding rebellion, So far did. they carry their operations that it became necessary to employ a regiment of soldiers to suppress them. Nninhers of them were arrested, and Charles It. Iltzekalew saved himself hy Ile is now running for Governor of the Slate. —Pittsburgh Commercial. ARE YOU READY? But six more working days elapse before the October election. Are you organized ? Do you know that no fraudulent voters arson the registry of your town, ward or township ? The Democracy confidently assert that they can carry the county by 2000 majority ! They can't do it en less they resort to fraud and they must be WATCHED. See that no fraudulent votes are cast. Be sure of that, and, above all, bring every Republican voter to the .polls and then Lehigh will give a good account of herself—a report of which will cheer the heart of every good Republican throughout the State. WHEN Alex McClure was at Norristown, the Philadelphia Post said "Michael C. Boyer, chairman of the Liberal Clommitted of Norris- town, presided at-the meeting. "We have since learned from the most reliable sources that Michael is himself the Committee, the Chairman, the Secretary and the sole member ship of the Liberal party in that town. The thing's build upon fraud. • ('ONGREN'.MAN. The Lehigh county Democrats sent a depu tation down to Norristown, on Saturday lest, to fix up the question which now divides the party. We don't know where they 'met or whom they saw, but they returned home with the feeling that they would eventually triumph. over their Montgomery compatriots and make them submit to the fraud perpetrated upon them on the 23d of September. Shake Dun sicker appeared before the deputation and said "die ling ishtoo pad ; you ought to get up a new man." Nelson Weiser told him to go to the Ancient Henry and informed him that if it had not been for such fellows as he, they would not have had any difficulty. Jake, we understand, took the hint that his presence did not have an acgelic influence, and accord ingly hastily absented himself. We under sand Hon. B. Markley Boyer appeared and is the blandest manner apologized for the gross insults that had been heaped upon the Lehigh delegates by their erring sister Mont gomery, and showed a willingness to eat dirt, or boiled crow, or stump for Witte, or do any thing else to secure harmony. Mr. -Charles Hunsicker saw Boyer's position and, as he does everything that Boyer does, made haste to assume the same position. George W. Rogers, Esq., always wis a gentleman who loved harmony above all things else. During the war he could vote in the interest of Jeff Dania, and cheer for Lincoln after we had won a victory, with greater alacrity than any other man who ever inhabited the b lob°. He made as strong a speech as he is capable of making at the meeting on the 23d, in which he denounced the fraud there perpetrated and announced his intention of standing by Acker. We thought he would repent, and we arc not surprised to learn that he has. Who dee was there we did not learn. Whether they met anyone who had any authority to speak for Montgomery we am not informed ; but we are pretty well convinced that the biggest job ever undertaken is to throw the Democratic party of Montgomery county down upon its knees before the eighth of October. If they had a month before them their leaders might teach them how to do it, but It is a new thing to the common voters and they can't make them adepts in so short a time as a week. WHEN Horace Greeley got on Civil Service Reform,Friday night,he referred to the defalca tion of Hodge, and remarked that the Admin. igtration had put him in prison and then asked the people to he satisfied. " But," he said, "we want more than that. But as be ac knowledged that dishonest men would creep into high places in any party, he did not ex plain satisfactorily how this was to he done. He complained about n few Gove 'uncut offi cers going around the country speaking in the iaterest of the Repuolican party, but he bad no condemnation For the universal practice that all our copperhead county officials in. dulge in. We find them out in every dime- Von, while Hair pay goes on, electioneering for the success of the Democratic party and Horace Greeley. Ile had no condemnation for this practice, because these men are his friends. He talked about Civil Service He lot m. Is Mr. Greeley going to do It alone, or will he depend upon his constituency, the Democratic party, to help him? What hope have we for Civil Service Reform from such men as compose the Democracy of this county? Look at their mismanagement of our county affairs, where their accounts do not show anything and nobody knows what has been done with the people's money.

Hor ace Greeley has ka9wn of this for yeill 8. IT is said the Democratic party selects the most ignorant man in the county for Com missioner so that the Court House Ring can impose upon him and use him for their own purposes. It is disgraceful that the people tolerate such a thing. They will have some developments some day that will make them sick, but then it will be too late. People of Lehigh county, you have not had a Commis• stoner, a Treasurer or a Commissioners' Clerk, in the past ten years, who could conscientiously swear as to tint amount of the County Debt. If you like simii a state of mismanagement, such a cloud of suspicion r. sting like a pall upon the gaud name of your county, keep on to the same old track and see where it will land you. Illegal taxes drawn from the peo ple and uncertainty as to our debt are not such inviting Natures that they will induce stran gers to locate among us and capitalists to build manufactories to develop dhe wealth Got) has bestowed upon us and which Ito Democratic party. in Its National, State and county policy has done its best to kt ep down. I=l There is no man in the county who has a better reputation than Edwin Camp. Ile conies of good, old ; substantial stock—honest, sober, Intelligent and Industrious—and our candidate for Assembly Is a chip off the old block, combining all the essential elements of manhood. We know him well and know there is no better or more trustworthy man anywhere for the position to which he Is nom• inated. If you who talk Reform are truly In earnest, prove it by voting for Edwin Camp. You who want to cut short the rule of dema gogues, vote for Edwin Camp. You woo want good, honest government 'and incor. ruptible Legislators, vote fur Edwin Camp. You who want the interests of Lehigh county looked lifter, vote for Edwin Camp; and you who want to vote for a nett vote for Edwin Camp. CAUTION • Our Republicans are cautioned to vote only fur Charles M. Runk, Esq., fur District Dole. gate to the Constitutional Convention. The law is so constructed as to give our minority one delegate to two delegates which the Dem ocrats will elect. Therefore vote the tickets Just as they are printed by the Republican. County Committee and then Mr. Runk will be elected. Don't give any complimentary votes for this office. THE INDICATIONS are • now that we shall carry the State by 15:000 majority. Let Lehigh do her share in winning a glorious victory by bringing out every Republican vote. THE LATE GOVERNOR CURTIN. Front the llulletle. WO have recorded the political suicide of Andrew G. Curtin. With the proud distinct tlon of chief leadership in - the Republican party of Pennsylvania close to his grasp, he has plunged over the treacherous precipice to which he has permitted himself to be lured by the false friends that have played upon his own weakness, and he Is lost. While the apostacy of Governor Cuttin has failed to raise oven a ripple of excitement, there is some natural curiosity among Buren. fotmed to know what effect his desertion has ,produced. We cannot answer this curi osity better than by the following letter re ceived this mo.nlng from a gentleman of Bellefonte, who has peculiar opportunities of knowing what he affirms : " BsLLE.FoNTE, Pa., Sept. 25, 1872.—T0 the Editor of the livening Bulletin. Sin : The Republicans throughout our State will perhaps feel some interest In the effect likely to be produced in our ranks, by the apnatacy of ex-Governor Curtin, in this, his birthplace and his home. Having been a life-long per serial and political friend of the Governor, and having at all times shared his confidence and that of his political friends generally, I can say frankly that the views expressed on the receipt of the news by all his friends were those of sincere regret for the Governor, and that the feelings everywhere exhibited were those of mortification and shame. Ills course will not Influence five votes in the county. Not a single Republican of any prominence will follow him. "There was held here, last evening, one of the largest Republican meetings ever con- vened in the county ; at this the Governor was denounced publicly, and the whole as semblage cried out Amen I "Though Governor Curtin dies, the Re• publican party and its principles still live, ra diant and hopeful, the party here at heart re solute in a higher duty to perform, though the unfaithful have departed. You can say to your readers that we are not daunted that some have fallen from the Tanks, for we hear from General Grant, passed a on; the line by General Gunmen., those grand old words of COMM Mid, 4 CM up the lines!' FORWARD MAttcn I !' CENTRE." THE SITUATION IN PENNSYLVANIA A Lively nod Correct View orig. A. Pittsburgh letter to the Chicago Inter- Ocean Is to the following effect : The Senatorial question is at the bottom of the disturbance within the Republican party. If Alex. McClure had not been repudiated by his own party, for every office, and especially for the United States Senate, there would have been no Liberal Republican organization In the State. If Forney had not been shut out from any prospecbobtainiug the same posi tion, as he imagined, by the Cameron interest, there would have been no opposition to Hart ranft within the party, at least none could have prospered long. It became plain some time ago that neither McClure nor Forney could gain any personal advantage from the disturbance's they caused, and both of them have found it out. McClure has traveled and consulted, and bragged and intrigued and traded, leaving no stone unturned in his of fc rts to have Liberal Republicans put lu nom ination for the Legislature. He hoped to get enough of them nominated and el, et .d to hold the balance of power, and then he intend, d, when the election came off, to unite them with whichever party would take his follow ere and himself as the price of ascendancy. The Democrats saw his game. Is districts where Republican success is certain they very cheerfully nominate Liberals; but where they have Democratic majorities they remorseless., ly cut McClure and put up regular Democrat ic nomineees. This "Champion of Deform," as Train -like, he advertises himself, will be lucky if he gets a single Liberal Into the Leg islature, Forney has given up the active work and there will not be a Forney man in the Legislature, except by accidect. The next Senator will be a Republican or a Democrat. EIMEEMEM seems to be regarded as an unobjectionable candidate. The charges against his official In tegrity are based mainly on the testimony of one Dr. Paine, a notorious medical diploma broker, whose shop, it will be easily recalled, was shut up last winter by action of the Leis lature. The same Paine has accused the Press, Mr. Forney's paper, of baying received up ward of $50,000 out of the Evans stealings, in the way of having a mortgage upon its build ings raised. The Press denies this in strong tsrois, with the effect of breaking down the testimony against Itself. Nothing has ever thor‘r though suspicion was thrown upon It. 1 The suspicion, even, is fait disappearing. The- Republicans who will vote against flattrauß because they think him dishonest, will not number 'many in the entire Stale, soil would not of themselves affect the result. * * * The next elemvnt iart”in ft in sue that is ulna ugniust Gras?. It is the Lit, rill no ll' It IS Strong entin,di telt e sane I tree!. Inn : 5 a Ai< r t mu is chino,. d by the moat modeiste, Slid nosh iug us coin pared with the magnitude McClure claims for The Hat to of Republican,. who trill vote for Greelty,and so against liar tran ft, is not half so great in this State as the ratio of Greeley Republicans in New England, as demonstrated by the recent votes there. There Is now and then a Liberal Republican, but the aggregate is very small. This is un doubted. The experience of all candid men, and their knowledge of the political status of their neighbors, coincides in testimony to this point. Careful canvasses confirm it. With respect to the incional ticket, there is no dif ference among Republicans of Pennsylvania that is worth counting In the contest except as it combines with other elements •against liar trunk. On the other hand, the demoralizat ion in the Democratic ranks in consequence of the Som• ination of Greeley, and his failure to develop expected strength with Republicans, Is eaten sive and witithepread, and of itself will offset a large share of the entire disaffection with Hart ranft, if not all of it. It is probable that In no State Is Greeley less popular with the Demo crats than In this. It is not judicious for Re publicans to publish names of Democrats who a -e intending to vote for Grant, but every Re publican knows such among his acquaintances. They are generally quiet men, who think for themselves, and do little loud talking. They will go quietly to the polls, and give their votes for Grant. Many more will stay from the polio entirely. Careful canvasses have been made in many places, and all show that the disaffec tion of Democrats will be a force to give much weight in estimating probabilities, Were it cwt for the hope that Democrats have that they may be able to elect Buckalew they would have no energy at all to make a contest in the, State.
