Election of Senator.
Soma of tho Republican papsrs assort
that the Lcgialaturo was overawed in the
lute Senatorial election by tho presence
of men from Philadelphia and other
plaees. It is, no doubt,truo that Cameron
and his backers expected to win, that
their triumph could only bo obtained by
corrupt means, and that they wero en
raged to tee thousands of citizens from
various parts of the State present at Har
f isbnrff to watch the proceedings and pro
vtnt rascality. They would have oho-en
-19 hare had complete possession of the
field, without interference or observation
ofthe peoplo, ani to have quietly cheated
Iht majority of that people out of an lion
.est and true representation in the U. S
fienato for lix years. Hut this was not
-to be. It was not possiblo to repoat tho
iniquity of 1857 wht;n Cameron was suc
eetsful by the votes of that infamous trio,
Lobo, Wagonsellor and Manoar, and ob
tained power to plunder and injurs tho
nation. One sueh porforraanco involved
enough of disgrace and ovil for a whole
eontnry.
The citizens who attended at Harris
burg on this occasion, wont thero proper
ly and conducted themselves with proprie
ty. Thero was no exhibition of ruffainism
by them, nor any attempt to control any
Member against his party obligations, or
.oBvictions of duty. But their presence
was a powerful and proper guard against
orruption,and tended to seenre a fair and
ionest vote. They wero not a body of
armed men, but eitizona and electors, and
had a perfect right to sco that their repre
sentatives gave honest votes in strict ac-
oordauca with duly aud with tho views of election of President Lincoln, is only

Albert D Bileau, Editor of tho
Evening Journal, was arrtsted in Phila
delphia, on Tuesday morninig of last wcok
a little after midnight, about the hou r
thieves and aesasMUs prowl for prey by
a party of lawless scoundrels, acting in
the o&paeity of Provost Guards, under tho
ordsr of this weak and wicked Adminis
tration. Tho alleged offenso, is said to bo
forgiving publicity to tho Message of Jeff. '
Davis, and accompaning it with some
tricturcs not very flattering to old Abe.
In the night, under the cover of darkness,
Mr. Boileau was transported into tho
State of Maryland, and consigned
l0
Fort MoIIenry.
This was a cowardly act, in gross viola
tion to t'ie Stale and National Constitu
tions and just as tho City Counsels, Gen
eral Assembly, and the sovereign People
wero about to demand Mr. Boileau's ro
lease from the Bastilc, and his restoration
to citizenship and liberty, ho meanly,
n akingly and cowardly caved in and
licked the baud that smoto him down !
On Eunday last, after making the most
humiliating confections, ho was ignomin

Who Is Prosidont 1
Since tho adoption of llic Federal Con-
stitution wo never had a President who had
to littlo will of his own 5 who permitted
himself to be dictated to in every public
nicasuro ns Mr, Lincoln has done, lie
has been induced again and npain to adopt
measures of which hU Judgment did not
approve, and at tho present ho appears to
be a mcro tool 111 tho hands of tho ultra
abolitionists.
Tho public is awaro that a caucus com
posed of abolition Senator peremptorily
demanded tho dischargo of hi.i Cabinet
ministers and the formation of a new Cab
iuct, tho tnonibersof course to be tclectcd
by thctn. Governor Seward seems to
have incurred the special displeasure of
lag abol.tlon JlintO, And his dinmi8al was
I -
especially demanded. Tho President (or
tho first lime tiucc his inauguration seems
to havo given evidence that he had tome
back bono left, and as far as wo aru now
advised he retains him in his Cabinet.
The unwarranted action ofthe abolition
Senatorial caucus demands tho censuro and
execration of every man who is not blinded
by fanaticism ; it is unheard of, without
precedent, and if tolerated will result in
the subversion of the executive branch of
the government. The Toledo Blade inti
timatcs that tho caucus has presented as
its ultimatum requiring the Presidont to
comply with its demands or resign his
office.
The country his lately been familiar
with now, startling and dangerous meas
ures but this insolunt dictation caps the
climax, and is the commencement of a
revolution ten times more dangerous thau
tho rebellion of the Southern States.
Tho southern rebellion is an attempt to
dettroy tho independence of tho executive
branch of the government and a fatal blow
at the very foundation of liberty. The
I1
resident is really himself tho causo of accompanied by s ampiog or fjet and clar
l.t. lfi.,.i 1 ping of hands. Tho npeuker 'hid, if aiioli
mis unrauigaicu msoioncc on me part or
tho abolition Senators ; ho has timo and
agaiu permitted them to diotate measures
which he knew and had previously admit
ted to bo wrong; ho has hitherto submit
ted in every instance , and now that they
manifest an intention to deprive him of
all power, ho sees to how great an extent
he has suffered himself to bo humiliated,
and is probably no longer ablo to resist.

Tho degredation, humiliation and shame
antailod upon our beloved country by the
Cabinet to any of the democratic Presi-
dents, we are inclined to believe that it
novcr would have been repeated after tho
first failuro.
To tho action of the democratic pattv
lns country now looks for relief. If it
j fails our liberty is gone to return no more;
if it fails wo aro slaves to tho fanatical ab
olitionists. God grant that it will not fail.
No More State Mililla-
Tho attempt of the Federal authorities
at Washington to U3urp the functions of
Governor Seymour, throirgh the military
commander of the East, Gen. Wool, is
viewed with alarm by the citizens of that
and other btates. If tho report bo true
that the militia of New York will re
p0rt
to and through Gen. Wool, pnd not tho !
Constitutional Commander in
Chief tho
Governor, then, indeed, has tho first
pn I
been taken in the bloody drama of ciril
war in the North. To this the New York
ff'orlil says:
Were such an attempt to bo successful
it would go far to consummato that fatal
revolution in the relations of the Ameri.
can pnople to their national exeoutivo
which the radical faction lias been labor
ing so assiduously to acoomplisb. To tho
national strength and unity of action
against tho public enomy of the Union
nothing can bo added by the consolidation
of all the military power of the nation in
tho hands of an administration which has
proved itself to bo incapable of conducting
a great war; whilo it would removo from
that administration one serious and impor-
tant check upon its possiblo and even
probable disposition to tho end that war
by an ignominious peace. It is through
tho State governments and the loworhouso
of Congross alone that the will ofthe poo-
pie can now -impose itself, constitutionally,
upon tho executive and its partisans. Tho
reserve of tho nation's military foroo, held
within tho crasn of tho States, is an elo-
ment essential to the prosecution of tho
.
war. io surrender that rci-crvo
mio luu
hands nf tho administration is to
mako
tho administration a practical despotism,'
and toloarc it at liberty either to carry on
the war in a spirit and for objects wholly
foreign to tho disposition and incompati-
bio with the convictions of the peoplo, or
to terminate hostilities upon conditions ru -
incus to tho hopes and disgraceful to tho
honor of tho peoplo."

ever there was a time in tho history of

sentiment of a large mn!s of people ,niight
produce such Plate of aflniM. that wo come
morning might wake to find wo havo no
government in pxistence. (A voice, yes,
we will.) Mr. Wright hoped this from
his heart, he was willing to make any
honorable sacrifice, now let the other side
of tho Chamber show a corresponding dis
position. If the gentleman hero would all agrco
upon a base of compromise, as to the con
duct this war it would not last three
months. He opposed the bill bocauic
among other reasons, it would produce
demoralization, and tho soldiers of the
army had said to him it black men were
sent to them, they will regard it as a con
demnation of their conduct and leave tho
the service if they can. How far this
feeling extends he was not able to say. He
said tho white Anglo Saxon race was cap
able of taking oaro of itself ; but if wo have
noj power to maintain our position negroes
cannot help us out of tho difficulty. They
were not rcliabio in the military service.
Ho believed that by a reconstruction of

At this point npplans burst forth

that McClcllan was not a favoiile of his.

As many rumors are alleat in regard to
certain transactions which took placo be
tween General Cameron and myself on
several occasions picvious to iho late clco
tiou of United Slates Senator, I think it
my duty to make a plain, unvarnished
statomont of the (acts, co that there may
b3 hereafter no misunderstanding or mis
representation, lit-lieving that there would
be attempts to bribe members in order to
defeat the election of a Democrat 1 con
eoived tho project of putting myself in tho
way ofthe operators, and trying bow far
they were disposed to go in the matter.
Once conceived, I determined to act upon
it aud communicated my intention to sev
eral friends. Tho first opportunity that
offered I embraced and hero is the re
sult :
I had been to Philadelphia, and on my
return perhaps a week or more beforo the
election, I met Mr. Win. Brolut of Lewis
burg, with whom I was acquainted, at tlm
Pennsylvania House, in llurrishurg, for
the first time this winter, and noticed sonic
unusual ncivousucss on his part, nnd from
his conduct was soon led to suspect that
his but mess at Harruburg was not of a
very .public character. In the afternoon
ho came to mu and asked to sec me pii
vately, and we proceeded at once to my
room, where he very sjoii commenced
disparaging the several prominent Dem
ocratic candidatc-i for United States Smn
tor, and cotu-ludcd by expressing his
decided preference for Gen. Simon tJanic
rou. This, of couisj, left me no room to
doubt thu obejoct of his visit to the State
Capital and to me, aud I at once asked
him whether that -was the object of his
v'i.iit Hu t-aiil it was. In reply to mv
qucs-tion, whether General Cameron aut
morized him to corno to me in this way,
he said ho was authorized by Cameron to
see any Democrat of the House or Senate
and enter into the preliminary arrange
meiits to secure a vote for Cameron, 1
then asked him in what manner they ex
pected to secure the election of C micron.
Ho answord, "by getting throe Domocr.it
to absent themselves on the day of the
election." I then asked him what th ey j
would pay. lie said ho was authorized by
Cameron to offer S5,l)Ul. 1 told him the
figures were too low, and desired him to
tell me who the other members were.
'This lie refused to do at the time, but would
trv nnd gut permission of his principal to
do so' Ho then left, and returned in a
short tim , and aid that General Cameron
wanted to !", pcr.-onally, at his resi
donee out o t'H' city that overling. I
told him 1 could no' uako tlic cnguunieni
but would answer him i7? O'10 ll0ur) au(1 '
I could get clear of another ,-ugagemcnt I
had made. I would eo with In in a ,,1C
meantime I consulted with Dr. lnr,,Hl'i
tho House of ltepresentatives, my co
lleague, to whom 1 related the furegoiuu
facts. I then saw Brobst again aud told
him I would go. Ho told me he would
have a carriage ready in front of Herr's
Hotel at seven o'clock ; that he was author
ized by Cameron to get a carriage at any
time. When tbe time arrived, Dr Hurley
and myself walked down to Herr's and
saw tho carriage nnd Probst there. I then
made souii excuse to Brobst, and told
him it would be bot not io go. (I decm
od it prudent at ibis nate of tho proceed
ings not to manifest too much engerncs,
lost I might defeat the object in view.)
The next day he (Ilrobst) called and aid
Cameron wanted to see pic nt the State
CapiUt Batik. I called, and was u herud
into a back room of tho bauk, and found
Cameron there alone He addressed mo
as follows: ''Biyer do yon think you
could havo courage enough to vole for me! '
1 answered that it was a very business
like question, and that it would depend
very much on circum-tance-.. He then
said, "supposo the circumstances are all
right l'1 I a.-ked him how ho meant '"all
right." He answered "the financial con
sideration ; iushort.thc dollars and cents "
1 answered him, 'certainly.' He then
asked me what I would take. I to d In in
1 had not been in this business long, and
did not exactly how to an-w"r, but ni.-hed
him to name the sum. He asked what I
thought of SI 0,0(10, ''right down, after tho
work was doue." I then asked him
whether he wanted a vote o' an abs 'iitco.
Hu aiiewercd,,la volc,"and that it would be
very troublojome to get the mail away, and
besides, ho only regarded tho money paid
as tho first itii-tiilmunt, aud that he lolt in
duty bound to take care of the person that '
made him "euator afterwards, nnd, if ho 1
had so many to take euro of, it would em
oarrasi him, but if hu had but oue, he '
eouid do it well and profitably as long a
wu lived ; and said besuUs, there would be
no mom danger in voting directly for him
i han it being absent, tor they would make
evoiy provision lor tin piotuetiou of the
man ihat would vote for him. ThW ended
.he inlcrwew, and we agreed to meet again
to fix the compensation. The next day ho
sent JSrobst for me I deciued going to
sco him, but agreed to see him at my
room, No. 15, Pennsylvania House. Mr.
Brobst, who was still, up to this timo,
figuring for Simon, went after him and in
less than twenty minutes returned with
him. Cameron then said, "Well, let's
conio to an understanding." I said,
"What for?" Ho answered, "In reference
to the Senatorial question.'' I then said,
"I muit havo SISjOUl)." He said "I wi'l
give it," and wautod to know who I would
prefer to arrange future in erviews and do
tho financiering of tho business. I told
him my limited ktionledgo of his friends
did not unable me to name that person
Ho tneu prono-cd Jim. Burns. 1 s.iu he
would do llo llii'ii Iftl't. Ktatiim ili.if. Iki
would return mi Saturday evening'
This
was on Wedne-day.
Oa I hunday I met John J. Patterson.
Io desired to mo mo, and asked mu to
pa at hu room nt Herr.8 IIo(0,f When
I met him, I asked him where Hums was!
He told me he was sick. He then said,
"Boycr, the money will bo nil righl." I
asked him, 'What moucy ' ' llo then
said, "Oh, I know all about it ; I saw
Cameron," (I must not forget to stato hero
that, prior to my meeting l'attsrsnuj
Brobst told mo Pattor.'on wautcd to ceo mo
ou that busiuoss,) aud, by Cameron's ar
rangement, he would go down In tho cars
cn tho Lebanon Yal'ey road on Friday, at
U o'clock, nnd that wo would go (ogether
nnd settle the entile affair.
Wo met according to arrangement, and,
in the baggage tipartlueiit of the New York
car, concluded the burgain for 820,000 for
a vote fur General Simon Cameron for the
office of U. S. Senator, with the agracmant
that no othar member should be brought,
and that this should end tho matter pro
vided Cameron would agrco to tho terms,
and deposit tho money in tho hands of
Pattt'ison, to bo paid tome immediately
after the election uas over, and that the
two members f with whom Patterson said
Cameron was alo in treaty) who were in
tho c;u.m on their way to Philadelphia,
should n turn on Saturday. Wo consid
ered tho fact that, if they were sent off, tho
House would not j;o into an election, and
our ugreeuiont could not be coiHumatod.
This htateinent deemed Ir determine his
mind in favor of the at raiigrinoiit. Pat
torson went iiuniediatoU to Cameron, who
was in the cur, and returned in a few
, minutes, stating that although Cameron
lourded the puce big he would payitm
order to save tuither trouble, and would,
i therefore, not say anything to the tncni-
hers thou on their way to Philadelphia,
and that they might return, and thus pre
vent any disarrangement of the plan that
might urio from their absence. Saturday
evening was then agreed upon as the lime
for the next interview. I Stopped at
Beading; so did Patterson, who relumed
that same evening to llariisburg. Came
ron went to Philadelphia 1 came up ou
Saturday evening, and found Cameron on
the mill, as well as at least onu of tho men
who went to Philadelphia the day before,
und I think both. At tho depot at II.tr
ri?burg 1 met Patterson, who .-aid the
interview would be at Dun Cani'Tan's.
Aeeotdingly Patterson nnd myself went
direct to the liou. and found the General
there ahead ot us. lie invited us up
atairs, and, by a dismal light, we agreed
upon the price viz : Uiiineroii assented to
the bargain between Pattersod and myself
by a-jreciug to pay the Si0,0U0 SO.OOO
of which was to bo paid in hand and
would deposit it In Pattorsen's hands in
my presence at snineiuturc interview, sub
ject to my inspection.
A littlo incident which occurred here it
would be n pity to lose to the world. j
Alter tho bargain was concluded Simon
straightened up to his chair, rubbing his
lees with his hands, saying, " Well, this
end-i it. i will be senator and you klull
never regret it" (addressing binnelf to
me) "1 will b tho most poworful man
in thai ccnate ; the entire dtate of affairs
of this Government will ho changed ;
nothing is more certain than that the
South will gain her independence, (this
sounded like treason,) and then wo will
hold tho control of the Government und I
will ho able to serve my friends ;" ai.d so
we pxrted again, to dream of Southern
C nilederaeies and Winnebaygocs lor Sou
atir. Patterson and 1 then agiced to meet
on Monday.
We met at five o'clock, in Patterson's
room at Herr's, on Monday altornoon.
l?:rc Patterson tnU mo ho had tho 5?.rj,
UOU hand money locked up in tho sate
don s.'airs, but wanted mo to see Simon
" iin betoi Paying it over to me. 1 in
sisted on the ''and moucy. This I doom
ed necessary to l!-Jl'P UP tlia delusiou.
We than parted to nieet at the same place
early the next nio."wi"g- Immediately
alter breakfast ou '' ue day, (tho day ol
the election,) I met Pultei on, according
to agreement, at his loom, Simon being
pre-eut, lying on the bed, complaining ol
a tlisea-e of tho bowels. It was tn do
sired that I shcu'.d see some llepub.'u'an
member of the Senate or House, wi';o
would be sent to me, mid inform him ol
my willingiiofS to vote f.ir Cameron in case
he was nominated. To this I made some
pretended objection and demanded toknow
tile necessity for it. Simon said it wa-
this, that unless I did this they might
think ho just wanted their d d nomina
ti n lor effect, which was not true. He
dei lured he would n t have the nomination
and a defeat for tho wholo Lgu)auir.'.
v-o, of cuur-e, I consented, aad the voting
price was vo'ut'taii'y raised Oo.OOO Put
leisou said the gentleman wllo would wail
on me theiu was Dr. Fuller, ofthe Senate,
who would bo present as soon as I was
ready to receive him. 1 .-aid that was all
riglli, but must now bo convinced thut the
money wan all right too. Patterson thon
hurriedly showed me a large bundle ol
notes, which ho reprei-euted as being the
amount of the final payment. He a-isured
me tho day before 1 should have the hand
money, and again on Tuesday morning
said 1 could have it. I told him 1 deemed
it better, on reflection, not to have it about
ine, inasmuch as thero might be a row
after tlu eleciiou, and said I would trust
it to litem, (Patterson and Cameron.)
knowing them to bo lioniit. Pattcreon
again U'-surcd mu the hand money was
down in thu sale, and, together with
the residue, should be furthcoming as
soon as the election wis over- (I may
here -stale it did not come) Cameron then
said his ctrriage would bo at the State
Capital Bauk after tho election, and I
should come right down and go over to
his house and remain there awhile This,
ol course', 1 agreed to do, (bui did not.)
Now, then, all things being arrauged,
lit I'uller was ushered in by Patterson.
Ihe introduction coinplotcd, Isaid : "Doc
tor, I presume I understand tha object of
tins interview. ' llo then said : "lam
cLairmau of a committee appointed by the
ltcpublicaii caucus to wait on you to sco
whether you would voto for i.'aniuron."
I said "cs' I assure you that if you
noininato Gen. Cameron (pointing to the
Winnebago lying on tho bed) it will bo all
right." Ho said: "You give me that
asrur.inco V I noid "Yes." Dr. F. then
said : "You need have no fears of personal
diiiii-or, or aiiythinif of that soit- We
have Hindu every provision to meet all
danger." I litis thu last ocene in this
steange farco ended Simon assured mo
that he would bo ever grateful, and I hope
ho will.
It is proper hero to say that during this
cnttra adventure with Simon and his
agents, my colleaguo, Dr. Karley, W. A,
Wallace, the Rsnator from Clearfield, nnd
Robert Vaughn, tho proprietor of tho
i cnnsyivaui.i uuuse, ui mis unj , vruiu in
the secret, and Dr. K.trley, ospeoially,
knew constantly what was going on,
In on? of my htcviews with Patterson,
on the cars going to Reading, he said in
case thoro should nnv investigation irow
out of the transaction he would bo tho
only witness that knew niiylhing about it,
