As We Expected!
The friends of Mr. Dv iltlaltAW are beginning
to be rrtGrATAZD by the exposure of his votes
the Legislature. They auppoeed before
his re-nomination,that his votesen the "Extra
fay" were all right, especially as he had
pledged himself to a4vocate low, pay ; and,
/her, his 3200 donation coming in at the
heels of the Beseion, was; in their judgment,
calculated to seduce quite enough Demo
crats into his support to secure his re-elee
tion I But, they now suspect " there is
something rotten in Denmark," and " amain
mice." They begin to realize that kis rotes
'lid not square with hie pledges—chat, instead
of voting for and advocating the $5OO salary,
he feted tor the SEVEN IwzpitED DOL
LAR pay, as his vote among the YEAS on
the Conference Report shows! And what
makes it all the worse for him in their opin
ion, is, that the Star and Sentinet will not
en4crtake to open their mouths iq regard to
his .onarse on the two most important tests,
•Wf i len he DODGED the vote on the
OM passage of the Bill, and ' Whenhe VOTED
?OIL the Conference Report, both of which
continued the Seven hundred Dollar Salary
to Members The friends of Durburaw begin
*to see and feel that the Star and Sentinel
ARE CAUGHT—that they dare not deny his
action on these points / and yet dare not justi
fy what - be did, becoube that would be ac
knowledging what we have charged him
:with, (and PROVED upon him,) a VIOLA
(PION of solemn WRITTEN PLEDOE,.
The dilemma is an unenviable one, but
there is no getting out of it. Mr. Durboraw
DID vote for the $7OO, as we have charged
upon him, and if silence ever " gave consent "
to anything ? the Star and the Semi, et an.
knowledge ctipt he did that very disreputable
thing. If not, why not deny his DODGING
pn the final passage vote, and his YEA for
the Conference Report? THEY DARE NOT
DO IT ! We ropeet ? they DARE .NOT:—
They KNOW that page 512 of the House
Journal records the one. and page 1.005 the
ether.
We defy Durboraw's organs to face the
punier on these points. Come s gentlemen,
how is it about Durboraw's DOIXII4O,
pont his vote FOR the Conference Report?

The Adams Sentinel, of Oct:. 4, 1858,
olutrgod ,Cis.atts WILL with fir,vorin ; g
$7OO pay to Members, because, among
iatilor things, wbco the Cooferenee Re
iseeifori the Appropiaation I;i11, allow
ing that sum, came before the House,
it passed " without opposition, the yeas
and nays not being called." Further
on in the same article, Mr. Will was
charged with "permitting the Bill per
manently increasing the salary to IRu°,
to pass without opposition—making a
difference to the Tax-payers of the
State of over $26,000 a year." And
tho article _concluded with this, sow,
very significant paragraph :
" member those facts, Taxpay
ers Ôr Adami county, when you come
to east your ballots tor a member of
the Legislature. Remember, too, that
Mr. Inauoanw, the opponent. of Mr.
Mu ft is publicly PLEDGED AGAINST

veto for a Repeal of the s‘oo galary
'Law ! Remem her these facts, and then

The Star of Sept. IT, 1858, cluqgod
PIIARLES WILL with favoring the $7OO
salary, declaring that he " sat,
_quietly
in his seat on the coal passage of the
bill" " increasing the coqipenaation
permanently to $7OO, withont, opposing
it even by a call of the yeas and nays."
The Star, of (Jet. 1, ISSB, said :

Durbcrasl ray,
On referring to the llouseJournal, we find
that Skunuel Durboraw received for his SerTi
res ip t i lcse Legislature last winter $7OO as
salary, $22 80 mileage, and $25 for sicilioa
m. Of this comfortable aggregate of $747
80, he set aside $2OO as an Electioneering
Fund; but still the sum remaining is very
snug compensation for his services, among
which may be counted his remarkable feat in
DODGING the vote on tits final passage of the
Appropriation Bill, albming the $7OO salary
to 000tinue, nqd his equally astonishing vote
?PR the Popferengs Itepeit, which also eon
tioucil the Pacie high pay to 00 wexabwl !
Very well done, Mr. Durboraw. Wouldn't
you like the chance to do so again
A Bungled Ticket.
To realise how egregiously the Star man
agers bungled their ticket, it is only neces
sary to know that vliould Mr. 411.783CL1AN,
their candidate for Director of the Poor, be
elected, the Directors compassing the Board
would be residents of three adjoining town
ship.. Mr. Werra resides in Freedom, Mr.
SPANGLIR in Cumberland, and Mr. Mussel.-
N in Usmiltonban, directly between the
two. Voters of all parties, look at this !
Mr. Musselman's election would leave with
out a Director the entire north, east and
south qf the county. Surely such a division
cannot bp regarded as judicious or fair.
Persons may ask how so glaring a mistake
was made. The reason is not bard to
figure opt," if a trifle posted in regard to
Opposition mencouvring. To carry out the'
aim of the Professional Office-seeker on the
Commissioner's Clerkship, it was necessary
that he should have Mr. Jacob Realer as the
candidate fur Commissioner, and nobody else.
A candidate taken from the upper side for
that office might, (if elected, let it always be
remembered,) be favorable to somebody else
for the Clerkship, and that wueld "spoil" the
oracle's "whole kettle of fish." Mr. Raiser
was, therefore, taken from the lower end, in
preference to a far more popular candidate
from the tipper end, Mr.7syse MAILSH ALL, Of
A : , and to satisfy Ihuniltenban, Mr. Mussel
;pen was given the Director candidacy.—
Stich is the slim total of a very singulartrans
action-.7.-such ;he secret of the nomination of
a " temporary resident" for the important
office of County Commissioner.
filarWe understand, from various sources,
that the Opposition candidates, especially
Messrs. Duesosaw, Resssa, I,4l.cCasp..ter en 4

Bear it in Mind!
The Star managers and their minions are
endeavoring to make voted among Democrats
fur Durboraw by representing him as a good
neighbor, and as having deposited titat SLIM.
This game is very transparent. If they could
succeed in having him re-elected they would
claim it es a party triumph — an the success of
Know Nothiugism joined with Black Repub
licanism, over Democracy. They put forth
such a claim upon his election last fall—they
would do so again. But the opportunity
will not be given them. Adams county is
not for dark lantcrnism, as she will demon

Star managers. They know there's no getting
round :he feet, and, therefore, must " grin
and bear it." Their situation is an unmn
furtahle one, but they have only themselves
to thank fur it, because they were the origin
atorsof the infamous organisation here, and
at the time expected to get plenty of oounty

these aspirants fur Know Nothing favors.
Berne Superior Councillors are in n sad

cannot be successfully assaulted. In regard
to the latter, they could only "intimate " that
he did not vote the whole Democratic ticket
last year, but his character as a man and
a Democrat is too high to be injured
by such a petty attack. Beside this, honest
FRANK WILL has volunteered a card, certify.-
ing that he saw Capt. Diehl vote an open full
Democratic ticket at the time alluded to.—
Thus all the calculations of the Star man
agers are, one after another, being " knocked
into a three-cocked hat." Thus their visions
of Bowes*, to be accomplished through hum

The Star managers, forced to the

tremblingly offer to "give to any. per

that Samuel Durboraw, in a single in

We here PROVE such violation, in

Will the SYar managers hand over the

DODGE, as they and their favorite,
Durboraw, are acenstomod to do. The
honest and intelligent voters of the
county, however, will decide the matter
for themselves, and remind Mr. Durbo

of the old addage : " You cheat me

airA Chance . to Make ONE

The Journal of the (louse of ltopresentn
tivea proses that Samuel Durboraw voted
agaitort a proposition to make tho daily pay
of Members $1,50, with expellees going to
and returning from Harrisburg.
The same Journal proves that Samuel Dor
boraw voted for a proposition to make the
pay of Members $5 per day and mileage.
The same Journal proves that Samuel
Durboraw &dyed the vote on the foal pas
sage of the Appropriation Bill, which allowed
the salary of Members to continue at $7OO
per scission.
The same Journal proves that Samuel
Durboraw voted for the Conference Report,
which continued the $7OO salary to Members.
These foals were stated in our last. and we
re-state them now fn. tlie purpose of offering
ONE HUNDRED DO4LARS to the &or
managers, or others, who will prove them to
be untrue—the Journal of the House, of
course, being taken fur the testimony. What
say you, Messrs. Superior Councillors—
guilty, or not guilty
from the Talley Spirit
McClure's Record. ,
MR. EDITOR :--In looking over the " Legis•
lative Ite.mrd" of the last Scission of tho Leg
islature of Pennlylvania, my attention was
inadvertantly directed to the "House bill, No.
333,"—as it is generally called,..-entitled
"An Act to prevent frauds at elections,"
published on pages 512 and 513 of said Re
cord. Among other stipulations laid do% nin
that Act, the first Section provides, that no
person shall be entitled to vote, who, having
beeu no alien has nut been natuntlited, in
conformity with the laws of the United States,
at /mixt six calendar months be fare the elec
tion, lie."
The second Section of th 3 Act prescribes
that "as the only evidence that such aliep has
been naturalized as aforesaid, he shall pro
duce a certificate thereof, Ice.," "except such
person shall have resided in the ward, dis
trict or township, fur ten years or upwards
nett preceding such application to vote, which
residence must be known to at least enc. mein
her of the board of election officers." The
3d, 4th and sth Sections respectively require,
that a known qui.litied elector shall make
oath "that the spolicant to vote is the identi
cal person named ip suet certificate of natur
alization ;" and that "the inspectors of elec
tions shrill nut permit any person su natural.
ized. to vote cif/rout the product iou of such
certifiiate" unless "he has resided in the dia,
trict fur ten years," and further, the inspector
shall retain such certificate "until j 2 o'clock
meridian of the nep day succeeding truth
Plection," when it shall be returned to the
owner thereof, unless there should be "reason
o suspect that such certificate of naturalise
lion is forged," when it shall be the duty of
the inspectors to retain the said oertifipate
until an investigation can be made."
The whole bill contains 12 Sections. On
the final action upon the bill, a motion was
made by Mr. Griuzian, of Luzerne county, a
Democrat, to postpone the further maide n) .
Lion of it. The Yeas and Nays were requir

It will be seen from the above, that all the
Democrats and 24 Republicans voted for post
; pining this subject, and those against it are
tall Ite7sublicans, including Col. McClure.
Now, Mr. I:ditor, there is not a man living,
who despises and coodenins frauds—no matter
where and by whom they may be romnailleil—
: more than my humble self, nor du I deny that
tlj4ere are no frauds practiced. Frauds at
elections are a calamity ; they are a death
blow at our liberal Institutions, and should oe
frowned down by all good citizens who cher
ish within their bosom the precious priviLer
I gen which we enjoy. It is a lamentable fact
that some men will "stoop to conquer," and
that too, just so that they gain their selfish
!ends.
Rut, notwithstanding all the facts staring
us in the ince. it Cannot be denied, that the
cloven foot of Know Nothingism is not stick
ing out in the bill above alluded to. And
how so? it may be asked. Let us see. The
Constitution and las as they now stand, al
low a naturalized sTfer to vote as aeon as he
is naturalized. According to this bill, how
ever, he must wait six rysonas before he can
vote ! I Yes, Mr. Editor, he must wait six
months before he can vote, even after he it
naturalised ."fhat, sounds very stange; but
so it is given in the bill alluded to, and, as
already shown, for this bill—this gentle hit
--Col. McClure voted. Now, this shows very
plainly, that the Republican party of Penn
sylvania is leaning towards having the same
contemptible laws enacted here as are in exist
ence in Massaohusetts—a State where a No
gro is put on it level with white men. It is
absurd for them to talk about "equal rights"
after such an attempt to disfranchise a large
number of our naturalized citizens of their
votes. Who can tell what step the Oppusi

The Rule that. Won't Work Both
Ways.
The great embodiment of political infidelity
who cracks himself up as a " bead and should
er, taller this any other man in his party,"
has the consummate andasity to travel over
this Senatorial District and preach up fidelity
to party. This Sines with a bad grace from
one who has himself voted against the beat
men in his own party, and been unfaithful to
it in its most trying hour of need. It may do
fur those who are pot ooastantly up before the
people fur odic°, sit McClure has been, to oc
casionally vote fol' a personal friend in pref
erence to a political one, but fur an inveterate
ides seeker to meliciously.mratch his ticket,
to further his 0101 6015861 Na, is not to Le
overlooked or pardoned in a party. This is
the game Meek: l a kes been playing and it is
art
time that his p sad the public should know
it, and he be m feel the ounsequences of
his own dastardly acts. The rule works very
well so lung as it works to the interest of
McClure, but when an independent member
of his awn party, who has become disgusted
with corrupt politiaians, applies the rule to
him, he considers it most unpardonable, and
pronounces him " a contrary d—d fool"
lle seems to think that he is the party—that
the voters have no privileges but what he al
lows them—that he may preach one thing
and practice another, bat it is a political sac
rilege to vote against him.
It will require Lot a very slight examina
tion of his political record to show his unfaith
fulness to his party. and his corrupt charem
tar as a politician, In 1853, when Dr. David
Mellinger was the candidate of his party for
Senator in this District, McClure treucherous
ty voted agotaut him. McClure is now the
candidate of the same party, in the same dis
trict, for the same office, and ho expects the
party to stand faithfully by him. Will they
endorse his perfidiousness and vote him into
the eery office that he voted to keep out the
previous nominee of his own party I He did
not stand . up for , Dr. Mellinger uud yet he
has the assurance to ark the party to stand
up for him. The friends of Dr. Mellinger itt
Adams county will remember his treachery.
Again, in 1855, he voted against the ticket
of his own party for Aessembly, on which was
placed the name of that excellent man James
Crawford, of Guilford township. The bare
idea of such a corrupt politician as McChtro
scratching the name of as honest a man as
James Crawford from the ticket he helped to
form, has something in it so base that every
homiest mind must shudder to think of it.
Again, in 1856 r . his political perfidy seeing
to have reached climax. lie voted against
B. Laporte, for Surveyor General ; Joseph
Pumerny, for Congress ; Washington Cro dm,
for State Senate; and L. S. Clark, for District
Attorney. lie almost made a clean sweep of
big whole ticket, Thus did he sacrifice his
party to further his own selfish purposes.—
Here for the second time did he vote against
the nominee of his own pally, Washington
Crooks—a better man socially, morally and
intellectually than ever 31‘Clure dare be—for
the very same office he is now risking the sup
port of that outraged party. His friends may
felicitate us on having his valuable support
for our candidates—well, we did somewhat
admire the trepon but we heartily di.spiscd
the traitor.
Again, in 1857, he 'voted per arrangemej
against Washington Immel, for DirectOr of
the Poor. Thus was Mr. Ivnel sacrificed by
the friends in his own houfhold. Ile, too,
will be expected to hide the wound he receiv
ed in the dark, egad vote fur the aaet►asin who
inflicted the stab!
It will be observed that he has Rover votod,
since he resided in the county, for the nominee
of his own party for State Senator, but i nvaria
bly against him, and yet he has thel,arefaced,
unblushing impudence to ask the party he has
deceived and outraged, again and again, to
vote for him for State Senator ! It will not
be done. Everz principle that is decent in hu
man nature rffolu, at the idea of honoring a
roaa who is forever dishonoring himself.

was but one thing lacking to make the enjoy

Whereas we have heard with pmfoundstor•
row of the death of our esteemed friend and
professional brother, J. K. Mellbeny, whom
if has pleased Divine Providence to cut off in
his youth, in the midst of usefulness and at
the very moment when years of mental toil
had introduced him to membership in an hon.
arable profession, in which, by the sum
of an active, vigorous and cultiva mind, he
was well qualified fur success; and whereas
our respect for his memory and his many vir
tues render it proper that* we should give
formed expression to our sentiments in regard
to this mournful event. Therefore
Resolved, That in the decease of J. K. Mo-
Ilheny, Esq., the bar has lost one who bade
fair to become one of its brightest ornaments
—whose ninny virtues had justly endeared
him to all who knew him, and whose intelli
gence, activity and public, spirit, evidently
qualified him for geueral, ae well as pro.
fessienal, usefulness.
lksolved, That while we deeply sympathize
with the bereaved family of the deceased in
their has of an affectionate, obedient and
promising 800, a confiding and attentive
brother, we cherish the hope that their loss
is his gain.
ficenteed, That as a toten of respect lot
our deceased friend, we will in a body attend
his tuneral, and wear the customary badge .
of morning for the space of 30 days.
ReaoloM, That these proceedings be enter
ed upon the Retards of the Courtsomd pub•
lished in the several newspapers of the own.
ty, and that a copy thereof be communicated
by the Secretary of this meeting to the &mi.
ty of the deceased.
