Da rturges Letter to Jacalt Buser, Sept, 8, 188.
,glir Such was the pledge made a year ago
by Shltrzt, Drationsw, the Know Nothing
and Mark Republican candidate for ro-elec
tam to the Lezislature. The people have a
right toluos whether bia votes last winter
squared with his promises, and we propose to
give a full, fair,• and connected statement of
them, so liar as they related to the question
of " extra pay." Tho Star and the &abut , /
may rave and runt as much as they please—
the; vital', in urdar to break the force of our
exposures of Purboraw's delinquencies, de
noaDisened vilify us as farm their high.taiied,
Christian morality may permit—they may
characterize us as 's unscrupulous," " ungen
tlemanly," and so on, to the end of the chap
ter of lisinroman slang—we have the consola
tion of knowing that THE T,ll;'f ll is with us
--that the regular JOURNAL OF THE.
HOUSE sustains UP in every position we
have taken. So confident are we of this, that
for the correctness of every vote given in this
article, we pledge ONE HUNDLED Dole
LARS—the Journal, kept by the sworn offi
cers of the House, and which dues nut lie, to
be appealed to for the proof.
Purboraw's pledge is given above,—
taken from the Star of September 17th, 185 S
We are particular about this, as it is not un
likely that the Star and the Sentinel aria even
deny the pledge, if it should seem to be neer?,
ary in order to help Mr.. Purboraw out of
the difficulty he has gotten into by Lrea4 lag
They have already denied that the Appropria
tion Bill made prorisiern fur the payment of
the members' salarzi, in the fare of the notori
ous fact that if they had nut been paiTtlir'
it, they would have returned home trithod
any puy at all Su brazen-faced have these
papers become in their falsehoods.
Now to Purboraw's votes:
On the 2d of March, the Appropriation Bill
vras under consideration. The fourth sec
tion, as reported by the Committee of Ways
and Means, provided for the sum of one hun
dred and fifty thousand dollar', for the pay
ment of the expenses of the Legislature, in
cluding the pay and miletk4e of the members.
clerks and officers, stationery, newspapers,
&c. The section contained no change in the
amount of salary . to members, and, of course,
left it at $7OO, as for the previous session.
Mr. Hottemitine mused to amend by re
pealing the $7() pay, and making it $500.
Mr. flamersly moved to amend Hottenstine's
amendment, by making the pay a daily one--
7:1.50, with expenses going to and returning
from Han iaburg. The yeas and nap were
called on Mr. llamenily's motion, avid it car
riod-49 yeas to 41 nave—Mr. Durborate
toting antang the nays, or AGAINST the $1,50
per day. The question then came up, " will
the House agree to the amendment as emend
ed," and the yeas were 39, the nays 52—Mr.
Durboraw still Toting with the nays, or
against the $1,50 per day. The motion was
declared lost. Fur these two TOMS we refer
to page 454 of the House Journal, March 2d.
Mr. Walborn snored to make the pay one
thoucand dollars per session. This Mr. Mc-
Clure pri.posed to amend by making the pay
.5.5,00 per day, but fired no limit as to Me num
ber of days Mt pay mfght continue. This was
a sharp trick of :Mi.Clure's to get large pay
through protracted sessions—all the time at
.$.5 per diem. The year and nays were culled
on this motion of Mot:lore's and resulted, :;6
fur, to 59 against—Nr. Durborair among Me
yeas. The amendment was declared lust.
when Mr. Walborn withdrew his $lOOO ito
tton—and the section was agreed to, still at
legring OW S7OQ, to the winter before, and to
the repeal of which Samuel Durboraw was
most solemnly pledged. Fur Jlurboraw's rote
on the MeClote amendment see !Luse Jour
nal, page 455,—March 2d.
Thus tar in the Journal, Mr. Durboraw has
not redeemed his pledges.
March 3d and 4th were mainly taken up
with the same bill, and in the evening of the
4th, it came up on final passage, the 4th sec
tion remaining unchanged, and of course still
continuing the old salary of r Oil. On this
final passage vote the yeas find nays were as
follows—see House Journal, page 412:

Mr. Durbaraw's name Is not to be found in

The Star and the Seatind endeavor to make
it appear that he voted—bat the Journal says
he did not, that Journal which was kept by
Mr. IJurlioraw's own political friends, and
vatv were sworn to keep it faithfully. We
do not believe that Mr. Durboraw himself wily

lively with know Nothings until about half an

until about 10 o'clock, when they re-appeAred,
as quietly and suddenly an they had left!
Now, can it be doubted that a secret Know

This is but one of numerous similar inci
dents of recent occurrence that hate some to

ing sty)e of this little white lie," hare'its
readers believe that Mr. Durboraw supported
a proposition to reduce the pay to 5500 per
tellioll, as he promised he would! But that
journal can't catch gudgeons as easily as all
that comes to. Mr. Durboraw never voted
for ..$5OO pay per scallion, and we defy the
S e ntiael, now and here, to point us to the
page of the Journal that proves he did.
i He did vote for MoCture's proposition for
$5,00 A DAY, but that, was very far from
" restoring the old compensation of $500"
pm sr: sion —beeaw.o McClure was careful
(the tricky ndroente of high riay) Red fe) lintle
the number o f (Lys deft -lay triads du, h pay
should (ordinate, so that it might as cosily
have amounted to $BOO as under, and more
l i k e ly above, as a majority of the members
would donbtleee have made it convenient to
sit out a long session whiiet that rite of pay
continued ! Most of them don't make half as
much at home.
Tii - ehinvr how far the Sentinel is stretching
the truth in undertaking to may that M. Dur•
borew redeemed hie pledgee by voting for
McClure's $5,00 per day, we give extracts
from a few of the speechee made in the
House at the time. as Ulowe
Mr. limnersly desired to explain his vote.
The propusition was calculated to increase
the pay of members, and therefore ho had
voted against it.
Mr. !mall thought that the amendment to
the amendment was making the ralary ap
proximate nearer to ;lON. Ile had there
fore toted for it.
%3r. Stereos said, my reason for toting
against this a mendment, is because I think it
will hare s tendency to increase our salaries
by protracted sessions, instead of dimini•hiug
them. lam In fat or of n fixed salary of $5OO
and mileage.
Mr. Kinney gave the following reasons for
his vote on the above question : reasons
for voting against the amendment of the gen
tleman from Franklin, (Mr. M'Clure,) to fix
the pay of members at per day are, that
the per diem system is an exploded system in
Pennsylvania, and would tend to prolong the
sessions; and, on the whole, increase the ex
penses of the government.
Mr. Fleming gnve 4 his reasons for voting
"no" un the amendment of the e,entleuvi
from Franklin, because he sincerely helieved
it, would result in increasing the compensa
tion of members to more than StA), the sum
which he thought sufficient compensation. It
being evident that every day over one hun
dred, would result in some SBUO per day ex
penses, and 'hold out inducements for prolon
ged et pions.
Mr. Pinkerton said he was opposed to the
amendment offered by the gentleman from
Franklin. (Mr. M'Clure.) lle believed if the
amendment curried, that the expenses of the
government would be it.creased rather than
diminished. The expenses each day, apart
! from the pay of members, are not leas than
$.500 per diem, in this Mouse and Senate ;hitd
lie felt satisfied if this amendment prevailed,
that hereafter, iustead of the session lasting.
AS they should, but about eighty days, they
- would be prqOnged to not lets than one hun
dred and twenty-fire days. This, at SZ).1 1 0
per diem, would amount far pay of members,
an House and senate, to $83,125 ; to which
add forty-fire days extra fur officers' pay.

whole $105,625 ; e hilet the present session at

IQU : saving to the Qmimouwealth $12,525.
• For these reasons he should vete against the
I azueticluiesit, nod hopoti that it would not pre
vail.
/tr. Barer, (SA11411614) said he riled
against the amendment ot the gentleman from
Franklin, fur la: reasons an those given
by hie culkague, (Mr. Pinkert( ii.)antl
lug fully that should the amendment carry.
it would greatly increase the expenses of this
Cuininonvrealtlt.
31`r. Ilertolet said—l vote against the in
crease of pay of the members of 068 llon‘e,
on the ground that 1 think five hundred did
lam is sulticieot for any uietul Cr, who comes
here, for the short time that his seri ieet are
required. A uiechauic or laborer, who la
bors a whole year, scarcely earns more than
une-half what members of the Legislature re
ceive.
Mr. Durboraw did not heel such warn
ings, notwithstanding hie pledges w the peo
ple of Adams county. lle followed and voted
with McClure, the persistent advocate of high
pay, who declared, in ISa, that $7OO was nu
more than a member mliculd hare—hec o ould
veto for it, nod did !
Our readers will hare no difficulty in seeing
that in this vote, Mr. Durberuw did not sup
port a proposition to reduce the pny to $.501
per bessiou—but, on the contrary, see which
would inevitably have swelled the tunings]
pny from,S6oo to $1000!
110 - 241 r. Durburaw, in hie Reimer Letter,

Opposition Meeting in Cashtown.
Pear Compiler :—Last night was our quiet
village visited by McClure and company for
the purpose of holding what they chose to call
a political meeting. And such a meeting !
It was nothing more nor lets than a signal
failure from beginning to end, and will he a
lasting and Oct nal disgrace both to them
selves and their party. True, there were
some to to 100 persons present, ladies and
ull, but of this number fully on ,, third were
from Gettysburg; and of the remaining two
thirds there were nearly as many Democrats
us Ithtel Republicatts, and thou. the most at
tentive listeuvrs.
The Black Republican leaders must indeed
have %cry queer and very erroneous ideas con
cerning the people-of Franklin township, to
suppose that they are so extremely verdant
and gullible as to believe such sills , stuff as
they saw tit to spit out last night. Rut then,
like the pig of which Socrates speaks, they
have been in the mud, and hence it is quite
natural that they should try to rub some of
it on Democrats.
Alter something like an nrganizr.tion WWI!
gnne through with, Cul. McClure made his
appearance, mounted on the old Itominante
tt hich has already carried him through more
than one clinipai.m-1 metal the "Main Line
of Public \Vorks, our National and State
debt, the Protective Tariff, and Free Labor."
of course, the canal board was Democratic
ever since creation, and the men who com
posed it rogues and swindlers—the Democrat
ic Presidents and Governors have all `eta
thieves and robbers, or their accomplices—,
the low tariff is the tease of our national puv- !

a profusion of miserable wit and banter what
Ills paltry arguments mild not accomplish.— •
When his stuck of invective was exhausted,
lie had wisdom enough to vanish duriag a
trust impressite silence. A few strangers
next set up n feeble call for "Ed McPherson,"
who soon after mounted the stump. Ilia sub
ject was "Samuel Jlurboraw," and his of
two-fold. The first was to justify Mr. D. in
his coarse last winter; the other was to pro
cure votes fur his re-el is fall, neither
of which be did. He care. huviev

Ma. EDITOR : Dear Sir :—The " Nigger "
party had' s. meeting hete fast night, and of all
the political meetings I have ever .'ttended in
my life, it certainly wa..i the poorest. There
were about one hundred persons present, all
told, and neafty one-half were boys. The
meeting was organised by Mr. E. Myers
getting up and having the officers toted tor,
and then naming them afterwards. A friend
at my right suggests that ho did that last, in
the event of his naming them first, Soule of
ttein would have been too exceptionable even
fur their uwn " color." One ot your Gettys
burg lawyers then introduced toe candidate
for Senator, his preaenoe exciting no al.-
plants whatever ; and the quasi-eongreii , m,in
elect thinking it too bad, Uttered three cheers,
which were taintiy given by toe delegation
they brought aloug from Gettysburg. Ile
then opened by expressing his love t!) for
Democrats, which was perfectly understood
even by the wayfaring, and went on in a poet
ical strain about our green fields, and hills,
and dales, and told us that our prosperity
was the result of our own labor,
thing we also were• perfectly aware of. Ilia
whole speech was entirely itireign trum the
points at issue, and was perfect bosh. Apro
poe, after Mot:lure finished, McPherson in
troduced him to one of our Democrats in the
neighborhood, thiaking to make a vote, but
uur old friend said, "list are not my man. I
can't go you." It is needless to e" soul Mr.
McClure looked considerably crest-fallen.
McPherson then batik the stand, but no one
applauded. His speech was of one hour's
length, in vindication of Mr. Durboraw's
course in the Amenably, but he rather made
matter. wane than better. lie, like McClure,
closed amid perfect silence.
Some of the delegation from Gettysburg
then called for their lawyer, who responded
in a speech cf live or tau minutes. Ile at
tempted to email the Dentooravy, but has ef
forts were too poor so )unity me in giving
even this passing noshes. When he cooed,
no tine knew it, tor no one war paying atten
tion to hies, and this was the end of it. I
beg pardon, they did afterwards get ap a
fare. by dressing two men up to represent an
elephant. A fit sysonymtut the whole peu
ceedns.
DeOtearaey here have their eyes tpen,
and are distesnined not to be bossed again.
McClure yin be WSW out of his boots, and
th. whole Democrat.e ticket will receive tns
largest vote ever polled in this section. •

11. Stable closed with allusions to county
politics, and the meeting adjoin tied with the
determination to du cull duty at the pulls.
The meeting at New Chester, on Thursday

tinent speech, and then introduced upon the
stand J. W. DOUGLAS, Esq., the Democratic

dressed the vast crowd at some length, in a
speech of great power, which, whilst it moo
tathed no word of disrespect towards his op

telling force against him. When he ceased
speaking, "three cheers for Douglas :" were
given with a will.
J. C. Neely and S. J. Vandersloot follow

J. Stehle concluded—when cheers for the

The Opposition managers fairly me
in their desperation. They see "the hand

curing clime for their favorites arc almost dy

their anxiety must be excrutiating. With all
his votes exposed, and too many of them en
tirely inconsistent with his pledges, nothing
is left the managers and their organs, the
Star and Sentinel, but to rapeat over and over
again that the Compiler "lies:" " lies l"

against Capt. Diehl, we must remind the
managers that we have flatly contradict

him to do, and that we have published the
voluntary card of Faascis Wlta., one of the
