To the Democrats of Erie County. -
Certain recent occurrences, growing out of
the hostile personal relations between some
of our prominent members, and threatening
to seriously disturb the harmony of the or
ganization, require that I should frankly lay
before you the facts as they actually trans
pired. A sincere anxiety to conciliate the
conflicting interests, and to do nothing that
could be tortured into a disposition to make
the columns of the Observer subservient to
either side, has been my sole motive for mak
ing no previous allusion to the subject, al
-though I have been well aware' that My .
silence has been misconstrned, and my mo
tives widely misrepresenfed,—thore, I hope
and am willing to believe, through error and.
the ardor of party devotion Than from any
real rtiish to do me injustice. The difficulty
has now reached a stage where silence would
be both unwise .and cowardly, and I shall
endeavor to present a plain statement of the
particulars, without casting disagreeable re-
leetion. upon any individual in our rank..
The County Convention last fall saw pro
ler to sekTt me unanimously tor the second
ime fts Chairman of the county Committee,
.rich power to appoint 111e . ' members. I ob•
eeted to the proposition to thrust so great a
e-ponsibility upon my shoulders, but •it was
urged that from n:Q.. 2 extensive acquaintance
in the county and unceasing exertions fur the
cause, I was the one most suitable to make
tht l ehoice,and the Convention decided.
The following is the Committee appointed:
Henry Shannon, Moses, Smiley, P, A.
Becker, M. N. B. Brown. C. E. Dtmeomtle. ,
A. W. Can Tassel, -W. W. Lyle, F. F. Mar
shall, D,r. Skeels, F. P. Liebe], E. Camp
hausen, H. S. Hunter, W. W. Todd, And'w
Jackson, D. C. Kennedy, Wm. Henry, R.
O'Brien, G. At Allen, L. W.. Savage, Amos
Stone, F. W. Koehler, D. W. Hutchinson, G.
C. Gallowlino H. M. Bange, C. E. Hatch, W.
C. Oakley, W. C. Evans, Geo. P. Griffith, S.
E. Neiler, .T 'l3. CarVer, R. H. Arbuckle, A.
P. Streeter.
It is proper to sty at this point, that the
Committee as first announced did not coni-
prise six of the names here given. After the
first list appeared, and within a week or
two's , time, two delegates to the Convention
wrote to me suggesting gentlemen in their
localities to be placed, ou"the Committee, two
others in person solicited the favor for their
friends, and I my , elf added the names of two
young men who I felt would be encouraged
thereby to take an interest in the work of
the campaign, making thirty-three in all.
The list as thus perfected,l carefully copied,
laid aside among the other party papers, and
do not remember of looking at it again until
the notice was issued fora meeting.
The Stttc Convention having been called
in Janubry for March 4tb, I thought it best
to select our delegates as soon as possible, in
order that they might have an opportunity
to learn in advance the probable course of
events, and not go to Harrisburg without the
information necessary to a proper discharge
of their duties. Accordingly the following
notice was published in the Observer on the
16th of January, in the most conspicuous
portion of the paper, and in the largest sized
type used for reading matter:
DEMOCR.4.TIC,COCNIT COMMITTEE.
A meeting of the Democratic County Com
mittee will be held at the Observer office, in
the city of Erie, on Monday, January 27th,
at 2 o'clock, I', M. The punctual attendance
of all the members is earnestly urged, as
business of 'importance is to be transacted,
BENJ'N WHIT3IAN, •
Erie, Jan. 16, 1868.-2 w. Chairman.
On the subsequent week,_recollecting
,the
additional names, fearing that the members
generally might have. forgotten their selec
lion: feeling an anxiety to have a full attend
ance, and being desirous of giving all who
might wish to be candidates for delegates a
fair opportunity to employ any influences,
or . give any suggestions they might see fit,
I Amended a list of the Committee to the
call as published.
The Committee assembled promptly at the
hour and place named, twenty-eight of the
thirty-three members being present in Person
or by substitute. It was evident beforehand,
that a good deal of feeling had sprung up be-
tween some of the friends of Mr. Galbraith
and Mr. Scott, and whenever spoken to on
the
, subject, I invariably urged a harmonious
, ettlenient of their claims, advising my
friends that the general good whs 'of a great
deal more moment than any personal piques
or Preferences. fitter some private prelimi
nary busines;, a Motion was made and carried
(unanimously I think) that the Committee
proceed to elect delegates, the one having the
highest vote to be the Senatorial. The
names ofMessrs. W. L. Scott, E. Camphaus
-t(n, D. W. Hutchinson, W. W. Lyle and Ben
jamin Whitman were presented. At this
point, Mr. Henry moved that Mr. Scott be
chosen as. the Senatorial delegate by acclama
tion. - The motion was objected to, and the
Chairman decided that as it conflicted !with
' the previous resolution adopted, it was out of
oi!derand that the proper 'course would•be
to rescind the first one, and bring the propo
sition up as a new resolution. An appeal was
and the Committee decided to sus-.
tain ! the Chairman's decision. A motion
havihg been made that the Committee pro
ceed to vote, the inquiry was'made by one of
MiiiScott's friends whether the original Com
mittee slidnld!.elect, or the Committee as last
published. The Chairman explained the
matter as above given, and the Committee by
a large majority, it' not by a nearly unani
pions vote, decided that his action bad been
proper, and that all the twenty-eight thems
hers present were entitled to a vote. The
voting was done by slips of paper, and resul
ted as follows: •
W: 1,. Scott, 6ID. W. 'Hutchinson, 21
E. Campliansen, , 7 W. W. Lyle, 19
Benj'n Whitman, 22
The friends of Mr. Scott were much dissat
isfied with the result, and made threats which
I felt assured they Would not undertake to
fulfil when their cool judgment had resumed
sway. Their principal complaint seemed to
rest upon the admission of the six gentlemen
objected to, of whom only five were present.
By looking at the vote, it will be perceived,
that even supposing this course to have been
unwirranted,-the result would not have been
materially changed, and that if they bad been
excluded, the delegates chosen would still
have possessed majorities ranging from ten to
seven. The allegation is - also made that
these delegates were spoken to beforehand
and appointed because they had agreed -to
support Mr. Galbraith for delegate to the Na
tional Convention. I positively deny that
such an arrangement - Was ever made or
dreamt of, or that their views were even
known before the publication of the list in'
the Observer. I will go further and guaran
tee that, if desired, every man of them will so
state over his own signature, or take a sol
emn melt() the same effect.
Fault has been found with me because in
publishing the proceedings of the committee
MEM
I only gave the names of-the delegates elect
ed, and not the vote or the otherlntsiness
transacted. It is sufficient answer to the
latter complaint that- the custom has never
been to give the proceedings in full, and that
from their being of a private nature, involv
ing the interior working of the party, -it is
not proper, that they should be published.
In relation • to the vote, the explanation ought
to be abundantly satisfactory that I felt con
vinced Messrs. Scott and Camphausen would
prefer nut having it appear. 'The former
gentleman was presented without his know.l
edge, anti the latter had declined before the
rote was taken, 'so that in neither case would
I have been justified in heralding their de
feat to the public. I had too much respect
for both of them to be instrumental in sub
jecting those gentlemen to mortification; and
my leading motivewas to conceal from the
Opposition the unpleasant fact that the har
.mony of our party in Eric comity, unbroken
for so runny years, had at last received a
blow which the -true friends of the cause
must hasten to discourage, or it will continue
to increase in violence add danger until its
effects cannot be healed.
The claim is set up that the lekitienate way
to elect our delegates is by County Conven
tion, and that the Committee usurped its
power in exercising that privilege. It is ex
tremely unfortunate that Bib" suggestion was
not mad; previous to the assembling of the
Committee, as its adoption would undoubt
edly have avoided much of the heart-burn
ing that has since occurred. From what I
know of the Committee., I feel warranted in
asserting that - it would have been agreed to
without a dissenting vote. But the simple
truth is, that no person ever hinted to the
Chairman, or, so far as I know, to any of the
committee, previous to the meeting, that
such a course should be adopted, Much less
dissented from the right of - the Committee to
- select. No motion of the kind was proposed
in that body, or even spoken of. The true
course for our.frlends who wished a Conven
tion to have pursued would have been to ap
pear before the CoMmittee,"and make known
their desire's, and they would unquestionably,
have received favorable consideration. As it
was, the Committee, never supposing there
would be the slightest objection, merely fol
lowed the precedents or the three past years,
-stablishe , l sonic of the gentlemen who
are most strenuous for a Convention. I cod
t4.>_;; that for my, part, the idea of select
ing by any Other mode than the Committee
- never eotered my mind, for I presumed the
custom to have been long enough established,
and so willingly accepted by most at leat
who signed the call for -Monday evening's
meeting, that it could not be plausibly dispu
ted. For the sake of removing all question
on this feature, I subjoTh 4 the proceedings of
the three last Committed, with a list of the
members : .
186:5—Chairman, D W. Hutchinson; Sec
rethry, E. Camphausen ; members; :Wilson
Laird, W. A. Galbraith, David Olin, Isaac R.
Taylor, J. M. Kuhn, Robert Leslie, Hy
Porter. Delegates to the State Convention—
Wilson Laird, Benj'n Whitman. Mr. Laird
Was unable to attend, and, as no other gen
tleman was willing to go, I attended alone.
1866,-Chairman,E. Camphausen; members,
B. F. Sloan, Benj'n Whitman, D. W. Hutch
inson, W. C. Evans, Alden Pomeroy, AV. W.
Lyle, P. A. Becker, C. B. Sleeper. Delegates
chosen—Senatorial, W. A. Galbraith ; Rep
resentatives, B. F. Sloan, C. B. Sleeper. Mr.
Galbraith could not attend, and I went in his
place at considerable Inconvenience. Mr.
Sleeper did not appear at Harrisburg, and
W. L. Scott was substituted by 3lessrs.''Sloan
and Whitman, without objection being made
from any part of the county afterwards, to the
best of my knowledge. .
1867—Chairman, Benj'n Whitman ; mem
bers, James Patterson, Dr. J. C. Wilson,
Geo. Senyard, Alden Pomeroy, Dexter Pierce,
'James Crowell ; Wm. Kenyon, James Striin
ahan, Ephraim Boyer, B. P. Sloan, W. W.
Dobbins. S. E. Neiler, 11. L. White, F. P.
Liebe], W. W. Lyle, J. lin/s Thompson, C.
Sherburn Smyth, V. P. Wilson, R.
O'Brien, John Ferrier, Min W. Shannon.
Delegates chosen—J. Ross Thompson, Benj'n
Whitman. The delegates voted for Benj.
Grant, Esq., for Supreme Judge.
It will I* noticed that both the committees
tmder my chairinanship, have been double
the size of those immediately preceding, and
treble:the usual number, and more nearly
represented all the leading' points in the
county.
The length to which this communication
has extended prevents me from noticing sec-'
eral matters that deserve attention. , I have
aimed to-present the faits, and those only,
avoiding reflections upon any one, and con
vinced that intelligent anti disinterested
Democrats only need to know them to
sustain the County -Committee without an
exception. The more I learn of the
ty between the prominent gentlemen • who
have been placed in antagonistic rel.•tions as
candidates forllidegates to the National
the better I am satisfied that their
former friendly bearing has been mainly sev
ered by injudicious friends on each side, who
have failed to restrain their tongues Within
the limits of - sound judgment. I but speak
the sentiments off ninety-nine hundredths of
the Democrats in the county, when I say that
it is to he hoped they will endeavor at once
to reconcile their difficulties, and that hence
forward we will all move together in a solid
phalanx for the defeat of the common toe,
Withotit stopping to consider personal ambi
tions, spites or preferences.'
I presume there is slight necessity for add
ng Um!, if any members of the party object
to the above statements they will find the
same gem-runs treatment in the columns of
the Observer that it has alwaysgiveu to those
who disagree with its views.
BENJ'N WIIITILIN
“thick Pomeroy.”
[From the Dunkirk Union.]
A number of our Republican, exchanges
have given currency to the extract from the
Corry Republican, in which the editor claims '
to know "Brick" Pomeroy, and who de
scribes him as a "liar, thief, drunkard,. and
wife beater," etc., and sayS: "We have
known hint to sing bawdy songs and crack
obscene jokes over the dead remains of his
triend and companion, who was strangled to
death in an attempt to drink a gallon of
whisky on a wager, in the city of Milwaukie.
And we have heard him curse the sun and
defy the power that sustained it." - -
A citizen of this vicinity not placing any
credit to the above, wrote to the postmaster
at La Crosse, Wis., (who is, of course, -a Re
publican,) as to the truth of the story, and
received the following reply, which speaks
for itself:
P: 0., LA CROSSE, Wit.,
Feb. sth, 1853.
Stn—Your communication of the 31st ult.
is at hand, and in reply, permit me to state
that the reports circulating throughout the
press of the country in regard to Mr. Pomc
roy's immoral habits, are totally false. A
man who 'is not addicted to intoxicating
drinks—who Is seldom found in a saloon or
bar-room, and as far as my knowledge of the
man extends—some eight years, have re
garded him as a strictly temperate man.
From my personal associations with the man,
I have never seen an act or intention Which
would lead me to suspicion bins as a gambler,
&e., and feel confident, In stating as I do,
that he would at any and all- times lend his
influence in • =prohibiting throughout the
land, (as he has among his employees about
the oftice,) the immoral habits of which he is
so unjustly accused by his political enemies.
- Respectfully, •
• •E. W. ELLIS,
Ass't P. 31,
We do not wish to say that we endorse the
whole of "Brick's" course, but wish simply
to, give our readers a fair sample of Radical
lies. "Brick" is well known personally to a
great number in this county, and they will
endorse all ll!g. ) Ellis has said in the above
letter: We hope that the papers who have
published the previous article will do a sim
ple act of justice and publish the above let
ter.

THOSE who have ever heard Horace Gree

the N. Y. World:•
"11. G. lectured 15 times in the West, and
if he had lectured 15 more, he would have
depopulated that section of the country."
Tcre citizens- of New Wilmington, Law
rence county, having suffered much incon
senience:-Ii:om the similarity of their post :
Mlle° name Ao so many other places in the
country, held a meeting lately, resolved to
change it to Vollegevilie, and adjourned in a
happy frame of mind. • "
THE Republican urged its party, a week or
two ago, to nominate a ticket for local
officers, and thinks-that if the Radicals were
united upon it, it could be elected by three
hundred majority. We should like no better
sport than to see them try the experiment.
The people of Erie have too many important
local interests at stake to allow themselves to
be dragged into a mere party squabble at
this time. •
Tim first rail of the city- railway was laid
on Thursday morning, on Second street, at
the corner of Holland. :Enough stock has
not been subscribed to secure the completion
of the whole route, but it is designed to lay
down a single track to Federal Hill for the
present, and trust to the liberality -of the cont.
munity to provide the means required after
-wards. The projectors of the enterprise
are confident that the road will be, built from
the Parks to i .the Depot by July.
Gonon and Greeley lately delivered lec
tures in Williamsport, ostensibly for the ben
efit of the temperance cause. The Standard
thinks there, must be some mistake about the
objects of their efforts. The only "benefit"
received iyas . by the speakers themselves.
Gough received Sl5O and Greeley 000.
When ‘s ill the people learn that the ranting
reformers who s traw r,e the country,
peddling their stale jokes and borrowed
ideas, mainly do so as an easy means of put
ting money in their purses?' With nine out
of ten of them the cash is the main object.
WE regret to observe a movement' in Con
gress to abandon the revenue service upon
the Lakes, whielfhas been continued for so
lotig a period that.most persons have come
to look upon ii as a permanent. fixture. Such
a course would undoubtedly open the way to
great frauds and result in the loss of many
times the amount to the goveinment that it
costs to sustain the service. With our pres
ent high tariff, spine system of detection is
imperatively needed, and revenue service
seems to be the best foiln that can be adopt
ed.
"Prr this in to fill up," writes -a corres
pondent. We beg leave to assure the writer
that we, stand in no need of any matter mere
ly "to till up." Communications of -general
or loml iuferat we_alwayspublish with pleas
urC,,but that large mass of stuff 'which edi

BM
TILE older we grow the better we become
satisfied that two-thirds of the difficulties
betwtien individuals grow and of a
misconception of each - other's motives
and expressions. If ei•ery man, when he be
comes dissatisfied with the course of anothCr,
would go and candidly compare views with
him, the greater portion of fife ill-feeling
which now distracts every community would
be avoided. As it is indiviauals, - so it
is with parties: had the active teen of our
party met together oftener within the past
few years, and consulted in a frank manner
upoti the best policy to pursue, we have no
doubt that all conflicting interests would
Lave-been harmonized, and the organizatiOn
be moving on without a jar. Let us take
warning by the mistakes of the past, and
meet together oftener for counsel- in the fu
ture.
SoUF: chap who his passed through the
mill thus relates his experience jn political
life : '`The penalty of being a'polrlician, even
on a small scale, or tt candidate for is a
scree one. You have to bore and he bored
by "everybody, from the boot-black, whose
father has a vote, to the insinuating and self
important 'eggman.' ; The morning atter
election, a friend of ours—we won't say who
candidate,-and a successful one, made an
examination of his pockets and his pocket
book. The pocket was full, but the port
monies were ijollar-less and cent-less. "An
examination of his pockets revealed the fol
lowing: Seventeen tickets for miles of old
stoves, old clocks, watches,. &e.; twen
ty-one membership ;ticket's for base ball
clubs; fourteen tickets for trade societies'
balls; from sixteen to eighteen tickets thr
prospjctive military ;festivals; a dozen or
mom tickets for this widow :mil that widow,
and the remains of a liocket-full of bad cigars,
picked tip here and there, where the candi

EIE "Great Miltonian Tableaux,"to be ex:
Whited in Farrar Hall, on Thursday; Friday
and-Saturday evenings, is said to be a very
interesting production. We presume it will
have a large attendance.
Ex-RED. J. H. Wzmizo's, of Erie county,
is making• quite a stir among the "lover
portion 'of this gigantic. Congressional'dis
trict. He is going to run for a seat in the
Rump, or "hint the bull off the bridge." We
will bet fire cents, to be deposited In some
foreign missionary box, that our Ex-Rev.
will heat hint two to one. Front , the look
of'things, it would seem as though the next
congressional canvass in this district would
be a theological one on the part of the "grand
moral idea" portion of tile circuit.—(learfield
Rep.
So it seems that we are to have tw•o Rev
erends in the field, tor Congress. With such
an array of "great moral ideas" to contend
against, Scofield will find his chances for a
renomination rather slim.
Tur—activity with which Buffalo is push:-
ing her business interests into the section of
Pennsylvania -heretOfore regarded as being
permanently tributary to Erie, cannot fall to
attract the serious attention of our citizens.
Last year, by the completion of the Cross-Cut
road, she penetrated into the heart of the oil
region, and diverted" two-thirds of the trade
of that country from its natural centre at this
city. The Buffalo & Washington It. R.,con
necting with the Phila. & Erie, near Empori
um, will enable her, to compete successfully
with us in the coal trade, and secure for her
the larger portion of the Eastern Pennsylva
nia anthracite supply, which the people of
Eric long believed could only find its outlet
to the west through our luirbor. The War
ren & Franklin It It., now under contract,
and which will undoubtedly be completed
nest year, is destined to become an import
ant link in her system of communications,
anti will rob Erie of her last remaining hope
of retaining the trade of the Allegheny val
ley: We mention these facts less with the
view of depicting the enterprise of our sister
city, than to fix theninpon the consideration
of our own citizeds. 'The salemn truth stares
us in the face that our city is t rapidly losing.
the prestige we odce possessed through want
of practical ellergy and foresight. In a dew
years, Buffalo will be the great wholesale
supply point for the main portion of North--
Western Pennsylvania, and Erie, instead of
becoming the important business centre na
-ture intended lier to be, will remain a com
paratively unimportant city, with no other
trade tlian that she obtains front her imme
diate local advantages.
IN our Inst issue we announced the discon
timid:Lee of thee*ening edition
_ell the D*,
patch. We have now to Chronicle, 'Also; the
suspension of the daily
.Republican,' which
occurred on Saturday last. In both enter
prises the publishers have lost heavily, and
their experience abundantly verifies the as
sertions we have made upon the subject.
Some of our friends have been disposed to
complain of us not a little for want of enter
prise in refusing to embark In a daily, bat, e
know the cost of such •an experiment, and
the character of our community too *l4p
doutt fora moment it would end in disaster.
The present circumstances are especially'un
propitious for undertaking any new project,
much less one of sti - risky a nature as a daily
paper. Business men arc retrenching wher
ever they can, and few, are willing to either
advertise or order job work except in case of
absolute necessity. We do not believe that
any printing aka! in Erie is making money
now; and we are very sure that no daily can
be made to sustain itself for years to come.
TnuTU is A Nur SIIELL.."—That
able journal the Cincinnati Commercial, has
an excellent artielb on the management of
newspapers, from which we copy the follow,-
ing passage in rehition to advertising :
"The true theory is to Charge enough for
advertising to compress it into a limited
space, and devote the greater
,portion of the
printed sheet to
,reading . matter, that tlfe
journal may possess the elements of popular
interest, and be widely circulated, and in
proportion as it is circulated the space be
comes valuable to the advertiser, A. great
many advertisers do pot seem to understand
-this, plain as it May seem. They see only
one or two copies each of a newspaper, and
their personal sight being satisfied, they for
get that while one journal has a hundred
thousand readers daily; the other has per
haps but one or two thousand. 'Why, you
charge more for the insertion of this notice
than the other paperi do,' is a remark we are
accustomed to hear.• To be. sure we charge
mort. We plead guilty, mid are rather
proud of it. The only reason in the world
why we do it is that our space is of more
I•alue than that, of other papers. We have d
larger. circulation and more readers than oth
ers, and hence higher charges are oursright.','
TUE strange story, published in our issue
of the 20th ult., of the woman who after-
Wards became a man, hag attracted wider at
tention-than any newspaper incident which
has appeared . for many years. Few persons
art: inclined to believe it, and yet the state
ment is literally true. A. gentleman who was
determined to solve the mystery for himself
wrote to ascertain confirmatory infimmation,
and received the following reply :
