Is that the assertion of a so bor man ? and did he who made it forpet tnat our Congressmen in the olden time in proposing to locate a Government work shop in Philadelphia had not the terrible leputatadou of Simon Cameron, tho l a gmnjf tfie Harris burg lobby and ex-Sec retary of Wjir to contend with, and, there "i«l-p.Hne ehnuee for suecest ? My colleagues and I were less happy than .hey in this re«peet. ■ is 1 have said, he begged and bargain ed for the influence which induced Mr. Lincoln to invite him to a seat in hie Cabinet. It was now fondly hoped, by t*]o«c who had not sounded the depths of his depravity, that, being old and rich, he *• would take advantage of so distinguished an opportunity to prove th-it he could be holiest, and cnnlu adninister a trust with out turning it to his own profit, or hand ing the fund ever to hia creaturrs, to be ii"cd on joint Ccconnt. Aow sadly these hopes wpre disappointed is at ested by | the brevity of his term of office, and the . circumstances under which it closed. In less than one year from the day on which Sitnon Cameron was installed as Secretary of war, Cohgreas, though at that early day it had before it but par tial evidence of his crimes, indignantly * drove hini from that high office. Two thirds ol the members ofthelower House were friends of the Administration, and would gladly have sustained each uiem be of it as they did its distinguished head Yon can imagine how painful it must have l.e -nto them to find themselves con- ■ (•trained by duty to proclaim the fact that the first in:• Tl the head of their party had i een induced to appoint as the successor of John B.

Nor was the vote by which they did it a mea- , greone. 11 is friends and those who would most gladly have averted this disgrace from our State could rally but one-third j of the House against th« resolution of condemtion. Tho vote was about two to one against him,though 1 .as a Pennsylva nia, not willing to bear witness against the representative of our State, but too well satisfied of his guilt to vote against the resolution, failed to record my vote. In this fact, gentlemen, you have the secret of"this distinguished statesman's" hostility to me and my friends. Mr. Walborn, the Postmaster of Philadelphia, and other of his creatures, have offered mo his friendship and support if I endeavor to bare that resolution expung ed. My reply has invariably been that to stir foul matter would be to produce a stench. I have never in this or aught olse endeaaored to propitiate him or his creatures. No stone may mark the spot where wy poor remains tnoy finally rest, but I moan that my children shall bo able to vindicate my name by pointing to the fact that Suuou Cameron and his confi dential fiSends were ever hostile to me.

Eastern Polities While the political suil'ace is quite calm in our section, our friends in the east iiuve been having a slight breeze among themselves iu reference to the Philadel phia appointments. It would seem that a bad understanding having existed be tween Hon. Montgomery Blair, Post Master General, and Hou Wm. D. Ivel ley, M. C.. from Philadelphia, the form er, through his post office appointees at tempted to defeat Judge Keiley iu his re-nomination to Congress last fall, but failed to effect his object. This summer the Con:*aes-<inual delegation from Phila delphia, made an effcrt to have a change in the Post office and other places sub ject t federal control. At one was understood that they had succeeded, but by some means this proved, in the i end unfounded. No sooner had (he old occupants found that the effort to remove them had failed, than they began to "take on" wonderfully. Wore serena ded—made speeches, &c. Whereupon General Cameron, who is blame iwith be ing always ready to accept hia share of the credit due to success, visited Phila delphia, and being serenaded by his friends also made a speech, which, by the by, we thought very ill-timed. We had intend ed saying nothiugon the subject, howev er, but having been frequently requested to publish Judge Kelley's letter in an swer to Cameron, we have concluded to do so. preceding it, however, by Cameron's speech, (which will be found on our first page) leaving our readers to judge for themselves as to the merits or demerits of both or either. Judge Keiley is i known to be a gentleman of groat purity 1 of Character, an able statesman and true | patriot. Candidate*. j Since the commencement of the prcs i cnt campaign we have not felt it to beour duty to say a word about tho personal claims or qualifications of candidates on either side. We believe nil our own to be competent aud worthy. 11l addition to this they are the chosen representatives of the great tiud dominant party of the count-y —the, party which, when treason j first raised its standard of revolt, conforcd I not wiih flesh and blood; but at once ; avowed its determination to stand or fall ! beneath the folds of " the old flag!"— How different was it with the party which :> represented by tho other ticket ? Ilis ! wry will give tho answer in characters ; never to be effaced. So far from abusing the gentlemen whose names make up the •• itemocrane ticket," from the very bot tom of our heart we pity them I—especi ii L that portion of tbeui which was inteu de-1 torej resent the aimy. How loccnsid crate, not to say inconsistent,for a Union soldier to ever unite his fortunes with a party whose evil fame is world-wide.— Who were not only known at home, but abroad,as the friend of the slave-holder's rebellion ! How unhappy a soldier must feet thus situated! How unfortunate for himself that he over permitted himself to be used by a net of men, that in thcirvery heart loath ercn the color of his livery ! Let no false sympathy deter us from per forming our whole duty. Not a man on our ticket, from Trustee of Academy to State Auditor, of which wc cannot say, 'he is competent and worthy and in addition to thia lie represents the party that saved the country from dishonor— from political death—then vote the whole ticket right through. Let us have our old five hundred majority once more. Freemen ! To Anna! To Anna ! Shall Pennsylvania, that has stocd so ! nobly, shoulder to shoulder, with her loyal ! sisters during the last four years of ar j dent aud persistent struggle for our na j tionality, falter now ? We trust in God | such a fate is not before her. What a ; shame it would bo for tho loyal freemen of this glorious old' Commonwealth by | their inactivity and indifference, to allow ' the election to be carried by the northern allies of the slaveholder's rebellion ! We trust and believe this is not to be, but to avoid it wc mast be up and doing. Let every district be poliod carefully. Let evry vote be brought out. With quite a large percentage of our vote unpolled in the army, we held our l]ne unbroken ; the task will bo much easier uow, that our brave soldiery have returned. Let not a I day be tpcut iu idleness until all assess ; meuts are made. Don't wait for the ap -1 pointuieut of committees it any should be appointed, let them goto work at once. 1 This is no time to stand upon formalities, bee to it at once, that all soldiers recently returned from''the frout" are assessed— Saturday is the last day for making as sessments. Let none be 'overlooked— have committees on the ground early, to object to tne votes of deserters, aud all I othfr« o<>» entitled to vote, and if Penio- I (Eiitisfa. cratic boards—under tho advice of the "U"inn fbn-afd'' shotild tAw such votes.— late down both tho name of the eleetion officer so offending and also the peYfcon who thus offers to violate a law of Con press—be fctiv#, bo persevering once more. Veß~ In the published regulations, thro' j inadvertence, it was not announced that pasture, as well as hay, would bo provi ded for all stock t.rought to our forthcom ing exhibition. Ample provision, how ever, has been made, as the Executive Couimitteo inform us, both for pasture and hay. Let hone stand back on that account, therefore, but let all come for ward with their various kinds of stock.— Let the exhibition bo oue at once credit able and beneficial to the various interests of our county. The trot which comes off on Friday will bo most exciting. We trust and believe the whole affair will be creditable to the enterprise and industry of our people It is through this medi um that all important improvements are made in.the various branches of oor in dustrial resources. Let all lend a help ing band and success will crown our ef forts most abundantly. Since writing the above tho President of tho Society has suggested, that it was overlooked iu the announcement of the arrangements, to state that the Society would procure the services of an Auctioneer, and that on tho payment of a sKualt fee, those wishing to offer any stock, or other articles for sale ; at the winding up of the fair on Friday, ! I could have an opportunity of doing so. — j ' This arrangement will be made, however; j : so let buyers, as well as sellers, take no j tico and come prepared to hand over a J | nice pile of in exchange for : some of the commodities putin exhibi tion. i>i:seiiti;hs Votixg. i In a late number of this paper there was published a list of deserters and non reporters in this county, accompanied by the law of Congress upun tho subject which declares that they—if they fail to report under a forthcoming proclamation of the I'reFidcnt, " shall be deemed and taken to have voluntarily relinquished . and forfeited their rights of citizenship, | and their right to become citizen," &o, I Tho appearance of this exhibit at tills time seems to have somewhat disturbed the temper of our neighbor of the Her ald, who favors its readers with quite a lengthy editorial on the subject, the bur then of which is to prove that all such I legislation is unconstitutional, and there- ! fore of 110 binding effect, and finally to! urge the election officers in the various j districts to disregard said law and receive : the votes of all such. Of course this is I not done—so the IleraUl wouldhavo us I believe—because these deserters are deni- J ocrats 1 Oh! no ! but simply because our j neigbbor'of the Herald is jealous of the I Constitutional rights of the citizen ! Of j course that's ail! For as we are told by | the samo article the Editor don't know the politics of these individuals—of course j he dou't, for he says so True, if tho J defection came largely from the llepubli- I can ranks it wcßild be moat likely to cx- j hibit itself in such townships as Buffalo, J Clinton, Penn, Concord, Fairview, Wash | ingron, Clay and Muddyereek,, which run j up a®»«ggregatb Republican majority : of "00-tn round numbers, yet in these eight populace townships there arc only j three delinquents all from Fairview! —and two of these are M'Lafferties ! —j j Where then do the large list—one huud- ! ! rod and sixty-four in all—come from?—j ! Wiufield, where the Democratic (!) ticket ! ! lihb two to one, furnishes twenty-two! ' among tlicni we sec the names of five Cy phers, two Gallahers, with Higgins, Sweeny, &c.; but from all this, of course our neighbor could not form any idea of the politics of these individuals ! Take j Oakland next, and we find fourteen ab- ! scoudeil —it, too, is a Democratic town- j ship. In its list wo find the names of l tho Couways, Arthur and Patrick;) Dou- ' gan ; O'Donnell, (Francis and Edward ;) | | M'Elwce,&c.,but then theso names would j bo no evidence of the polities of their i owners—of course not. 'lhen comes ' good old Donegal—where they '"ato the j potatoes skins and all" iffcd we find on | inspection tliot this old democratic strong j ; hold furnishes thirteen of these patriotic ! j names ; and amoflgst them we find that j jof Boyle. (Francis, Patrick,and Neale) (!) | | with Co'ylc, M'Elhency, M'Crea M'Bride ! &c., but still our neighbor is in the dark ; j as to tho political partialities of these j j men ! Next comes Clearfield, where on j lupine occasions tho Republican cause lias not even a single elector and on others j ! barely six rotes, but which can generally I I be relied onto roll up ryie hundred and | thirty or forty for " slavery, whiskey and | the devil" as ono of their leaders Used to , express it—this loyal (!) district furnish 'es thirty-seven of this batCillion; and among them we find four Gallahcif, | (Squire John is not one of them,) two I C oyl«t, two Duffey's, (Aiey and Dennis,) ! two Goary's, two McLaughin's two Mc- Creas, tws M'Dooals, with a Callcn, a Coats, a Haggerty, a Hickey, ( Patrick) aMcLafferty, a McKeag, a McConncik, a Mcßtide, a Sweeny, a Vinroe, &o.— : Strange indeed that in all this our ueigh i bor could see nothing to enable him to form an opinion as to the political bear- 1 ibg of this class of persons! But we ! I must take hi» word for it and jjive him credit for being uioved only bja de -sire -tij£ dfcftnd the- Conrtil rfrfoTl'fif Bis'couiKry Atom itjury and SbufC. We have neither fiusc nor desire at present to examine those high consti tutional questions at length. The act of Congress referred to Was passed by a body of men whoso devotion to the or ganic law of their countly was second to no'other 1 similar body of men that evor deliberated under it-s protection and obligations,—it received the approving signature of our Martyred President, Abraham Lincoln : and not only was it signed by him but its wisdom was after wards re-affirmed by him in the issuing of the proclamation provided for by one of its provisions. Those considerations should entitle it to respect and gruat con sideration at our hands. But says our Copperhead neighbor i; The question of franchise is one for the States and not for the Federal Government, and our constitution provides that '• all free white citizens' 4c., are entitled to vote. Does our neighbor know what meaning tho Judi ciary would give to this wori free ? Is that man free who is a delinquent to tilt Government? Ifthe Federal Government has no power over the elective franchise, then Wade Hampton, Joa Johnston and kindred rebels can again return to Con gress ! All admit that the Government has a right to take the lives of all such as well as of all deserters. Does not the greater contain the less ? The right to'' live is one of the greatest rights belong ing to miu. "Well has it been said that " all that a man hath will he give for his life.' If the government, therefore, has power to take life, has it not also power to inflict punishments of a Tess fltegree upon tlioso who prove to be unworthy of its favors ? We have only time for an other remark, in this connection, that to us it seems passing strange that iu all efforte made by the Democratic school of politicians to convince the people of the limited powers of the Federal Consti tution, not one has been made in tho in terest of libei'ty and Union! No mon strosity, however groat, which was pro mulgated by Southern Statesman, iu the interest of caste or t lavery.was over objec ted to by tlieui; but on the contrary am ple power was found for every io-if doc trine that their Southern masters reqtiir led them to indorse ! Jar otherwise how ever, when all the great powers of the constitution nvcetsarily stretohed to their utmost tension iu the suppression of h Democratic rebelliou ! Mr. Buchanan had no power as President ol' tha -Nation to "coerce a sovereign State j" neither did he believe Congress had, and labored hard to prove it.~ llis Attorney Geneial Black held the same opinion. With these samo democrats there was no power in the constitution for declaring a blockade. None to enforce or even pass a conscrip tion Law ; none to authorize the Procla mation of Emancipation ! None to oon | fiscato rebel property ! And tin illy nimo to prevent Southern rebels and Southern traitors from coming again to the polls i and uniting once more with their old ! 112 riends for the purpose of reinstating both 1 in power so that they may yet aceouipli h j at tho polls what they have fifiled to do i in the field. i It is for the loy.J people to say wheth |er this will bo done. Let one election be carried by such a combination, nud we ! will yet see tho leading rebels swarming [ round the National Capitol, in its halls | of Legislation and its Executive offices, j with the whole policy of tho Government | revised—and rebel soldiers rather than 112 Union th» recipients of its favors. But we will follow this subject no further.— We have held them at bay when tens of thousands of our brave Republican friends, were driving back to their last ditch, thoir " Southern brethren" anil shall we falter i now withgreat reinforcementst.>otirjranks? : certainly not. No considerable portion I of the union soldiory can ever be expoc i ted to cast their votes with a set ol men I who,even w.thouta blusl; would advise the j sworn officers of the law to disregard j their solemn obligations, and receiv#ille i gal votes from a pack of cowardly descr j ters and non-reporters who had lied ttfi I couutry in the hour of her need. Finally wo say to our Republican j friends t> take * the Citizens contan ing this li-t t> your ebciion district ; j 1 and challenge overy vote, that appears on J it, that offers to vote,t ike his name also so that ho can be attended to hereafter, I and if his vote is taken by any copper- j j head officer take his name, havo two or ! three witnesses present. Perhaps Pro-| ! vost Marshal Kirker may have a rcpro- j | sentative or two convenient. Don t get into unnecessary trouble, but see to it J thlft the law is not train, led upon, and , our word for it, those that attempt lodis regard its provisions shall suffer tho con- j sequences«£ their folly, whether they bo election officers or returned < 'anadians.

Adjourned. Solilh'i'A, lie On Your Guard. It is passing ftrange that individuals and a party, who, but a short time ago,' could, and did unblushingly vote against e»tendir.g the right, of suffrage to our soldiers iu the field ; should now have the audacity and I razen effrontery to ask these same soldiers and their friends, to vote for the men nominated by them. ! And for the purpose of more efiectually | covering up their meanness aud keeping I behind the screen ; have, and are now ; engaged in organizing what they are pleased to call " The Soldier's League." 'I to be ashamed of themselves. : They must suppose that soldiers have | short memories, aud are blessed with a far | greater degree of charity than they them j selves ever possessed, t\hat! ask men i to vote for a party who stabbed them in ' the back while battling for their couutry !
