Ir. ItoPherson's Record.
EDWARD MCI'IItR.ON. the Opposition candi
date for Congress, in cr speech made at Bed
ford.,Aine weeks since, challenged the voters
of thiliistrict to try him by his Ccmgreasiunal
record. We take up this gauntlet, and refer
to at least one dark spot in that record.
Our readers, doubtless. remember the pro.
tracted and violent morazgle fur the:Speaker
ship of the National House of Reprea•nusti res.
which took plaza last winter. The original
nominee of the Republican party was JOHN
SHERMAN, of Ohio, an ultra anti-slavery
man, whom the Northern fanatic-win Congress
had determined to force upon that body as its
presiding officer. Mr. Sherman was opp o sed
by nil the conservative mcml ers, tl.oefi 11 Is h e
had end o-sed the infamous HELPER 11110 K.
a work which counsels the ttletli.i,ta t.f Slavery
by fire and sword, which urges the irrepreetti.
ble conflict between the North and the South,
which regards the Union as a mere wisp of
straw to be consumed by the negro ineandia
rfs torch, and which looks to the disruption
of this Government a.s preferahle to the con
tinuance of Southern Slarery. a This tronaon
nide and dangerous book was circulated
broad-east over. the country by tha ultra Re.
publicans. and was recommended to the pen.
pie by JOHN SHERMAN, of Ohio. o.i this
account, Mr. Sherman encountered the oppe.
aition of the conservative men in Congress, of
all parties. anti was finally compelled to
withdraw from the contest. But Mr.
Pherson, notwithstanding the opposition mole
to Sherman. voted steadily for lb* HELPER
candidate, thus by implication endorsing his
altruism and his unpatriotic and treasorable
conduct. This is at part of Mr. McPherson%
record,' by iwhich be asks the people of this
district to try him.
l'Ee following extracts from the Helper
Book, (the rams which John Sherrunn en
dorsed by his written signs ore,) will exhibit
its infamous character :

Wide Awakes.
The Republicans are organizing associa
tions, of a half secret character, called " Wide
awakes." These clubs aro designed to do
the same work for the Blame Republicans
which the secret lodges of the Know Nothings
performed for that party—to wit: humbug
Democrats into their traces, and attend to
such other matters as may not bear the light
of day. The Know Nothing, lodges were a
cheat—Wide Awake clubs are the same.—
Democrats, be on your guard. If the Oppo
sition must have such clubs, let Mess go in
exclusively t. because the associations are got
ten, up fur the exclusive benefit of that party.
The members may t // you that these clubs
bare nothing to do with either of the present
parties. Don't believe them. The Know
Nothings told you the same, and yet you found
in the end that all their trickery was only
resorted to to defeat the Democratic party.—
Wide Awake clubs are only another name
for Know Nothing councils. •

"This Settles the Huh r'
The gar and Sentinel contain an itliblevit
of one Jacob Gei eel man , of Berwick township,
which is in these words
! "That at a delegate meeting in 1e' , 55 or
18.56, Frederick Wolf said wo should ngt pat

The Sentinel is becoming really wild in
its disregard of truth. No fact is better k nown
in Illinois. than tali : that Abo Lincoln. the
present BMA Ropublitran candidate for Pm
ident, in opposed the nomination of
snry Clity, and was one of the most active
in slaughtering him. No one has . yet pre
tended to deny it there—the proof is too
henry for thnt. And ysi the Sostinel persists
in asserting Lincoln's pevotion to Clay. and
in its last "clinches the *11" by declaring
that Lincoln experience I ' - heart-felt grief at
Isis defeat." Who ever before heard df nn
individual experiencinr4 ' heart-felt grief " at
the defeat of 'mother which be himself inten
tionally helped to bring about! The idea is
ridiculous !
:Erb The Star folks are begging for a crumb
ref county patronage. Ttey e.tafliabed the
Know Ntit'iit.g councils in otery 11. , 1e and
corner of the county. with the view that they
might carry ile/he rh'ile of it, and failing in
their proscriptive systsm—the people on all
occasions defeating their selfish intention.—
they now turn rouni sod beg fur a part.—
Their cry norcia, " let us ,have a change—
any sort of change"—in order, of coarse,
that they may be beneti:e.l thereby.
The dodge is too stale Co be euci evirel at
this late day. Be.ore Know Nothingism was
started, when these same manag•tra had the
control of county affairs, they langhed in the
faces of all who merely whispered • desire
for "change." T.tca such a step would have
"gored their oz.'
No, no, gentlemen ; the Democratic candi
dates are all qualified and meritorious. The
Opposition ace not—and the people being
honest and intelligent, will d:scrimitutte in
favor of the former. Mark that.
larThe Sentinel dare not, with all its cool
ness and its boldness, directly charge Mr.
Ssiust Wotr with Know Nothingism—but
yet it seeks by sly innendoes and covered
stabs to create the impression that ho hha had
some sort of connection with that order.
That there are Know Nothings about Ab
batstown who hate Samuel Wolf because of
his early opposition to tint organization,
there is no question ; and that they would
now, nut of revengefnl feelings, say anything
to injure him, we think cqually
But that the o 1 itor of the Sentinet should lend
himself to carry out such unmanly personal
purposes, against one whom he knows to
have been all the while a consistent Demo
crat and upright citizen, can be accounted fur
upon but one supposition, and that is—that
he is at heart as bitter in his Know Nothing
ism as they are, and not inclined to be any
inure ecrupulous.
earn a Sentinel now rather concedes, af
ter all its large boasts to the contrary, that
the Republican meeting in this place on
Tuesday evening week, was not an extraordi
nary affair. This is a" crating down " which
we did n't expect in our neighbor, nr.d leads
us to hope that he may yet tell the whole
truth about the gathering—including, oil
course, a correct count of the darkies present.
We believe they were not even alludAto in
the Sentinels report, notwithstanding they;
mall° np a conbblerable proportion of the
number present.
Stir The Slar nut:lagers, conscious of the
weaknese of their ticket, are asking. for votes
for it upon the principle °Lange." Sup
pose they did humbug enough voters to elect
a part of their ticket, what would he the re
sult? They would at once claim it as a lie
ptiotiessa triumph, and sot op a ghoul that
the county wni with them! Such chaff won't

Repabliean Traps to Cateh Votes
The Republican., feeling that they have not
one sound principle to present to the intelli
gence of the muses, and fearing that their ap
peals to the passion. of one section of the
country against die institutions of another
section will nni prove suffieient, are resorting
to various dodges to carry sway the superfici
al. Because the only merit Lif their abolition
candidate lies in the fact that he ones split a
few rails, rail clubs are formed, and men go
about the streets w;th rails upon their shoul
ders. in the hope that by such means others
may be ind i mpnood in their votes for the high
office cif Prgrident of the United States.
But, says the Lycomitig Gazelle, perhaps
the most ridiculous of all their contrivance@
to attract shallow-hrAined people. is a secret,
drilled order called the " Wide.Awakes*—
It second-growth of the old Know-Nothing or
der, killed by the Democratic party a few
years ago. .Beside their orgies in their
lodges, these '• Wide-Awakes" torn out at
nights, rigged in a huge oil-cloth cape, and
with en alcohol lamp perched upon the top of
a long rick. march through the streets, and
at intervals perform such droll antics as be
long to the special province of " fantastic"
companies, en the fourth of July. We can
su:zgest a couple of improvements to the
"Wide•Awak.es." A peaked paper bat, with
a long chicken feather stuck in the top, would
admirably complete their 'uniurm ; and to
get astride of their lamp sticks, like boys
"playing horse," would be in exact keeping
with everything else, and assist immensely
itefiving, an imp3sipg appearance to the
who'.e. We have no doubt a good many more
votes could be ob.:tined for the ftepuhlicran
candidates by adopting these stir , estious.—
The intel'ectunl siretecle then presented
would so ftrzibly strike every intelligent per
sm that none could resist the conclusion that
ltepublitsanism is a great institutitm, and that
Lincoln ought to be the next l're ident.

In the Star of Friday week, Edward Stahl,
of Abbottstown, says, " Henry Speck, one of
the Opywaition, at the election Wad in the
fall el '56, was struck over the ear with en
umbrella by James Wolf, Sam. Wolf's brother,
and Sam. Wolf at the same time threw a
stone and struck Henry Speck not far from
the ear, and nearly knocked Mr. Speck down."
Mr. Stahl blunders. It was Joseph Wolf
that struck John Pflieger, not "Fpoek. Mr.
Wolf was defar.diog his aged fatli4 from an
assault made upon him Ly Pflieger„ and he
deserved credit for it. Samuel Wolf did
strike Speck in self defence. An over-grown
bully to attack a man such as *Simnel Wulf
for the purpose of driving him from the
ground, deserved all be got. Mr. Stahl for
gets to mention that Speck made the sooond
attack upon Mr. Wolf.
The Wolfs are Democrats, mind that, Mr.
Stahl. By the way, why does n't Stahl giro
the Star some of his own handsome espies
skins and feats on that election day?
The same Star also repeats the falsehood
that Frederiok Wolf instructed the delegates
from Abbotts'own to vote against any Cacho
lio--now changing the time to 11156. I was
present at the meeting that year. Nu in
struetions were gir as to whom the dele

was that Ileury ,' Esq., should be on our
ticket for AZsoci dgo— and the delegates
from Berwick hit' this nomination.—

had then no record of his own, at least so far
as the generality of the. voters of this county
were aware of. lie was elected, and has *
served one session. During that session, we
find him voting on all wooden* with the most
ultra of the Black Repliblicans. Looking up
on that class of politicians as dangerous, be
cause sectional it, all their aims, I cannot give
countenanee to one who spares r.0 , -measion
to affiliate with them. His persistent ad
herence to John Sherman, an endorser of the
Helper Book. for Speaker, and hie unmanly
eget:pi to cast the responsibility of the non
organization of the Home for weeks upon the
Democrats, a nabsority, are enough for me.
I cannot ty my vote assist him to office again.
My acquaintance with Henry J. Myers,
the Democratic candidate for the Legislature,
is rather limited; but all I do know of the
gentleman is complimentary to him. lie is
represented as intelligent and honest—two of
the most essential traits in a legislator. I
remember well when his father was chosen
to a mat in the saute body yenis er, and al
though I did not cast my vote fin him, his
sterling integrity and prudence; won upon my
good opinion, as it did upon Metter; of all
parties. The son, lam sure, wi du no dis
honor to the father.
Samuel Wolf, who is the Dom ratio nom:-
nee for Sheriff, I know to be a hard-working
mechan:o, of the most respectable position.—
The gnjusti6ablo attacks mate upon him by
his *Weal enemies are all so many ergo
meats in his favor, in my view, and I would
vote kr him on that amount, even if I knew
nothing of his admirablB personal qualities.
The office of Prothonotary all must concede
as one of, if not the, most important, to be
filled this year. It will not do to risk a
young untried man in the place—one who
has no experience, or of whose capacity we
know nothing. Mr. Picking I became ac
quainted with whilst he occupied a seat in
the Commissioners' Board, several years ago.
His remarkable business acqoilements, not
to mention his high clerkly (polities and no
corammlating disposition, convinced me that
be is just the man - for that Est. No mis
takes 'must be made there—and lie never
nukes any. Th ouands of dollars m.ty be
gavot' by electing and this fact'
have a controlling ii.flueuce with the voters
of the,county.
Thu office of Register nal Recorder is also
one in which our interests are largely in
volve.l. My intercourse. .ugh limited,
with Edward Mclntire, has given me it Tory
high estimation of the in in. He is a fine
clerk, a gaa.l citizen—s hard-working farmer
withal. His opponent, C. X. Martin, has
hcon everything by turns, for ghee, as I am
informed on all hands. Originally a bout
mautheil Democrat ; but amide to match place
as n minority party man, he threw himsel:
holly into the Know Nothing movement,
and I recollect well hearing of his perform
ances ns a levier in gettifig up a Carmen of
that Order in my neighborhood, and in acting
the part or chief officer in organizing it. Ile
was the "lig dog in that tan-oar 1," to waft
not very choice, but appropriate, expres-ion.
That office was one of his purposes his early
nowinntion for County Treasurer by that
nnrty is proof. With such aspirants I hare
no symMitllY, nor can I believe that a ruajori•
ty of the voters of the county have.
All said of Mr. Eichelts, who lots been
placed upon the Democratic ticket for Clerk
of the Courts, is in his praise, whilst the
nomination of his opponent, if the half bo
true which is said of him, was oertainly nut
"fit to be made." Whilst the former_seems
to be worthy of the highest cotifideroM, the
latter is the reverse.
In the Cummissionership all tax-payers
hare concern. Wm. B. Gardner is a strniursr
to me, but under no eirrumstsnees &odd I
tote fur his opponent. Mr. Unr.lner, I am
assured. has good business capacities, autl is
endowed with strong common sense—the
qualities which go to make up an unexcep
tionable Commissioner. •
eltlessrs. Mutter and Mut: I know by ro.
pntation only, and frompthot I should judge
them also to Lo the right wen for Directors
of tie P.or.
14.Atry Dysert, for Anditnr, I know to bo
well fitted far the post, and should be chosen
with the rest. •
e
I have thus' run over t he entire ticket—
consuming more space than I meant to in the
outatart, but could not cheek my pen without
alluding to all, because all seem to be " hon
est and capable." _
That the tax-payers of the county will se
cure their own best interests by electing the
gentlemen upon the Democratic ticket, is the
sincere opinion of AN OLD LINZ Wino.
Attempt to Humbug.
Ma.. Eritrea:—The Opposition candidate
for Clerk of the Courts. Jihn M. Wolf, has
'Fent several days in this Township, on elec
tioneering business, but with no success.—
Ilis humbug game won't do here. Known
ns he is as one of the leaders in one of th e
bitterest Know Nothing Councils in the
county, that at Abbottetown, he has the hard
cheek now tansy to Catholics that he never
belonged to the order, and trys to make folks
believe that be was against its establishment.
I write you et this jest to show how tricky
some peophrtey to be. , Traowt.
STARLE :—I perceive that the editor
of the Star is terribly °fended at the indi
vidual who *rites for Ake Compiler over the
signature of Inquirer." I am exceedingly
sorry to lave disturbed his equilibrium. but
I cm more sorry that a young man like him
self should without.proper discretion plane
himself into dilliealtiee from which he cantiat
extricate himself. Mr. Mae, you have tickled
the oiiissel too saucb. or he should nets have
kicked. neither wield ha have shows his ears.
Terrible long-eared animal, this inquirer is.

EDITOR Coatintaa:—l wish to say a few
plain words , through your columns, to some
of the Democratic voters of Adams county.—
I will take (and I hope the gentleman will
excuse me fur being personal,) Mr. C. X.
Martin as my text. As every one knows this
gentleman was the hind and frant of the
Know Nothing party. Ile it was who, with
two or three other kindred spirits from the
borough at Gettysburg, established secret
midnight associations at variods points all
over the county. Every one knows ton that
the members of this (dark lantern) tarty were
sworn to and did proscribe men who profess
ed the Catholic religion, and men who did not
happen to be natire born. This same C. X,
Martin is now a candidate before the people
for the office of Register and Recorder. These
facts you all know. But I will tell you
something that you perhaps do not know—
and it is this: that the leaders of the Know
Nothing Republican party, those who knew
what's what, would rather see this one man
elected than all the rest of' their ticket put
together. If the Democratic party would say
to them, gentlemen, take your choice, we will
give you ell the offices but the Register and
Recorder, or we" al take nll the offices and
give l l i you the Register and Recorder,,4hey
womb! most emphatically answer, give vs the
latter., This may seem strange to you, but
it is nevertheless true, and I'll show you how
it is true. If you will think a moment you
will see frcen the any the parties in the court
ty are divided, the opposition have no chance
of gaining the ascendency. They therefore
rceolvet to play " sharp." They have bit
upon the following plan to accomplish their
purpose and they have been trying it on for
some time. This year they think it will watt.
admirably. Their plan is to defeat every Cath
olio we any nominate and thus prove to them
that we are not their friends as we profess to
be. Thus they hope to stdnedCatholics from
the ranks of the Democratie party. Did you
' notice last year that out of the f 'or or five
candidates on the Democratic ticket who were
dereetel they selectel the only man in the
party who was a Catholic, and pointing their
fingers at him, they said, " My ro o. deluded
friend, you see now how molt the Itemecretic
! party is your friend." So they have been
doine for two nr three years. I have heard.
and from the best authority, that a 'special
effort is to be made to elect Mr. Martin. The
leaders say be must be elected at ell hazards.
They say the salvation of the party lei the
county depends upon it. For do you not see
if they can elect Mr. Martin, the most promi
, nent man in the Know Nothing Lodges, they
will be making a clever " ten steke." They
will thus try to prove that , we, in spite
of all our professions, prefer n rank Ant and
out Know Nothing to Mr. Mclntire, who is n
sound Democrat. I assure you, Democrats,
that this is the game of the opposition, and I
earnestly ask you to keep ynnr eyes open and
defeat them. We have the power aid it is
our ditty to exercise it, Mr. M:fetire is a
worthy, upright, intelligent gentleman, and
we will be dui . ag ourselves a service by lilac
in,g the Register and Recorder's office ie his
care. Ile is no truekline politician. and hill
make it his only aim to feitlifully serve the
public. Keep it eoestantly before your eyes
that 3t, r . Mclntire is to be defeated, not be.
vane he is not in every way .+)porior to his
eppestente—but borne.° the Opposition desire
to alienate the Catholic vote from the Demo
cratic party. Derneerate, do your duty in
this particular and rest assured that you will
hear a good report from
