MARSHALL spoke to the Independent Republicans of New Castle last Saturday evening. THI election this year in Pennsylva nia will be known as the "campaign against bouinn" —and it will be a memorable one, doing much good we hope. A storm always purißes the air. THCBI IS no Independent Repnbl 4 , can who is not better in principle than • Stalwart Repoblican—the difference being the same as that between Gar field and Blaine on the one side and Conkling and Cameron on the other. OUR Harmony friends met with their usual Fair luck last week. It rained. Sorry for it—and sorry for brother Ziegler of the Herald, who went down to the Fair pregnant with a speech he was to deliver on agricul ture, bnt tbe elements forbade. REPUBLICAN meetings were held in several counties of tbe State last week; some by tbe Independents and address ed by candidates Stewart, Merrick, Mc- Michael and Doff, and some by tbe Regulars and addressed by candidates Bearer, Greer, Brosius and Daries. ON our first page this week will be found the great speech of Oeneral Koouiz, of Somerset county delivered in Pittsburgh last week. His special subject was a history of tbe Camerons and tbe facts he states are true and known to many. We give bis speech, aa bis train of thought or reasons for bis political action now, are About tbe same as our own. THE Hon. George Lear, whose letter on tbe political situation in this State will be seen in another place, was the President of the Harriabnrg Republi can State Convention tbat nominated Beaver, Rawle, Da vies and Greer. He now deems it a public duty to give tbe reasoaa why be cannot longer sup port tbat ticket He considers tbat its election #ill be claimed as tbe triumph of Cameroo. His views are those of boats of Republicans in tbe State. MR. GABBIZL GTZEL, formerly a citi ud of this town, and who removed to Colorado about three years ago, has been Dominated for a seat in the Leg islature of that State, by the Demo crat* of Custer county. While living here Mr. Ettel was regarded by our people as an intelligent and honest man, and bis many friends here are pleased to learn of his success in bis new home in Colorado. He held several positions of trust while residing here. ACCORDING to the views of some men, everything is in the name and nothing in the hiulory of the Republi can party. Wilmot, Wade, Sumner, Adams and Giddings, instead of beiog leaders and reformers in party politics in their day, would have been kickers, bolters or soreheads, according to these modern machine men. At present' these men say tbey are opposed to the methods and tyranny of the Camerons as practiced in this State, but tbey nevertheless submit to their yoke and continue to vote for tbem. No reform ever has or ever will come in that way. There would have been no Auiericau Revolution, or uo Reformation in Religion, if Washington and Luther bad waited for the then bosses to have let bold their grip. AND now tbe Republicans of New York State are io trouble. Folger, whom Conkling aod Arthur brought out aod hid nominated by eight votes over Cornell, present Governor, is charged with succeeding through fraud. A forged telegram, purporting to have been sent by Collector Robertson to one French, gave French a right to participate in tbe proceedings of tbe convention and is said to bavo turned tbe nomination Irom Cornell to Folger. Cornell made a good Governor, and ac cording to custom, was entitled to a re nomination ; but be bad refused to aid in sending Conkling back to the U. S. Senate last year, and hence tbe enmity of Cookling and Arthur towards him. Folger's resignation is demanded or else bis defeat is predicted. IT took about two columns for Mr. j Robinson to prove in the Eagle, last week, that the Independent Republican meeting here didn't amount to much. He certainly then wasted his powder , in blowing it up. When a long effort is made to show that there is nothing in nothing, people ask themselves, why then spend so much time on nothing Facts continue, however, to speak louder than words. Holding an office j has a wonderful influence in directing the minds of some people these days. THE Supreme Court of this State opened its session for Western Penn sylvania at Pittsburgh last Monday. The session of the Judges at Pitts burgh, however, will be very brief this time from the fact of that unjust order made by them last fall, transferring the hearing of all cases to Philadelphia from all the Western counties of th e State, except four or five. This is one of the questions that will enter into the •lection of the Supreme Judge to be roted for next month. Why should the people of Butler county be ordered to Philadelphia for a hearing of their appeals ? AMONG the numerous falsehoods stated in the Eagle last week is the one which says there was a disagree ment between the President Judge and the Associate Judges relative to holding of Court on»the evening of the two Republican meetings here, Sept. 20th inst. The Eagle represents that Judge McJunkin was overruled by the Associates. Such is not the fact. When the matter of holding Court that evening, as on former ones, was dis cussed among the Judges it was in the most friendly spirit, and after a full talk on the matter they all three agreed to have no session of Court on thit evening, notwithstanding the great amount of business peuding. There was no overruling in the matter, but agreement, and the Eagle only gives another exhibition of its malice towards Judge McJunkin in making the statements it did last week. THE charge that Harry Walker, the Batler post office clerk, was dismissed for his refusal to pay political assess ments, has been denied by the post miss tress. In the face of this denial the clerk sent the following telegram to Tbos M. Marshall, who first made the charge. "Everything you said in your speech in Butler on the evening of the 20th, in regard to my removal from the Butler pest office, is literally true." Mr. Marshall makes this a text, in bis speech in Allegheny city last week, for the followiug comments on the assess ment nuisance. "Oh, but they say the assessments are all voluntary. Let me illustrate. I have an old man working for me who has bean with me for 14 years. Suppose 1 should address him a note, telling bim tbat he should not be discharged without cause, but that a present of $6 would not be objected to by me. He does not respond and I serve him another note asking for a voluntary contribu tion of $7. Still the money dosn't come. He continues to draw his wages and take them home to bis fam ily. I get some ink the color of blood and send him a third circular, demand ing $7 20, but assuring bim again that it is purely voluntary. He didn't an swer, and I discharge him. Is that living up to the principle laid down in the Republican platform that no com petent and faithful officer shall be dis charged except for causes." THE following letter written by Daniel Webster soon after ho accepted the office of Secretary of State in Presi dent Harrison's Cabinet, is of interest at present: DEPARTMENT OF STATE, March 20,1841. To the Hon. Thoman Ewing, Secretary of the Treasury : Slß —The President is of opinion that it is a great abuse to bring the patronage of the general government into conflict with tbe freedom of elec tions, and tbat this abuse ought to be corrected wherever it may have been permitted to exist, and to be prevented for tbe future. He therefore directs that information be given to all officers and agents in your department of the public service that partisan interference in tbe popu lar elections, whether ot State officers or of officers of the (federal) govern ment, and for whomsoever it may be exercised, or the payment of any con tribution or assessment on salaries or official compensation for party or elec tion purposes, will be regarded by him as a cause for removal. > It is not intended that any officer I shall be restrained in the free and prop er expression and maintenance of his opinions respecting public men or pub ' lie measures or in the exercise to the ' fullest degree of the constitutional i right of suffrage. But persons employ ed under the government and paid for , their services out of the public Treasury are not expected to take an active or officious part in attempts to influence the minds or votes of others, such con duct being deemed inconsistent with the spirit of the constitution and the dnties of public agents acting under it; and the President is resolved, so far as depends upon him, that, while the ex ercise of the elective franchise by the people shall be free from undue influ ence of official station and authority, opinion shall also be free among the officers and agents of the government. Similar letters have been addressed to other heads of departments. I have the honor to be, sir, your obedient servant DANIEL WEBSTER. The Laic MM. Lincoln* Hobby.

Wlij Mr. li«'»r Cannot Support The Harrbtbuig Ticket. Special dispatch to the Tress. PITTSBURGH, Sept. 29.—The Hon. Thomas M. Marshall having tele graphed George Lear, Esq., with re gard to their appointment to speak in Cbambersborg on October 4, to-day re- i ceWed the following: DOYLESTOWN, Pa., Sept. 25, 1882. HON. THOMAS M. MARSHALL— MY DEAR SIR : Your telegram is 1 received. I will not be at C hambers burg on the 4th of October, and so wrote to Mr, McKee and telegraphed Mr. Stewart as soon as I received their dispatches. It will be impossi ble for me to leave home at that time, and if I could I would not spend three days going and returning to make one speech, and besides that, it would be necessary to explain why I made a speech against a ticket which I helped to nominate, and, while I have suf ficient reasons for such a course, the meeting only would bear the justifi cation, and all the Republicans in the State know I had made the speech. The reasons are very manifest, and a little reflection will satisfy any intelligent man that the delegates in that convention above all others should protest against the use which is being made of their work. That convention on the 10th of May nominated a ticket, and, in accordance with party usages, adopted a platform. '1 lie candidates were unobjectionable, aud the platform not onlv enunciated the established doctrines of the party, but took ad vanced grounds on important questions of political aud official conduct which the public sentiment of the period im peratively demanded. The candidates and the "platform were an entirety— the former toreceivethe suffrages of the people on condition that they repre sented and supported the latter. AN OBLIGATION THAT MIGHT HE DIS SOLVED. A breach of faith by tbe candidates, or by those who were delegated to con duct their campaign, not only absolved the Republican voters from all obliga tions to support the ticket of their party, but demanded their emphatic rebuke for such an attempt to secure their suffrages by a fraud, and yet since the day the nominees were placed upon that platform, containing prom ises, pledges and declarations of prin ciples, upon the faith of which the voters were asked for their support, there has not been a promise performed, a pledge redeemed, or a principle main tained. A party without principles has DO claim upon the suffrages of intelligent men, but a party whose practices are utterly at variance with its professed principles is unworthy the support of hoDest men. If we do not repudiate these acts of bad faith, are we notjustly chargeable with an original design to deceive and cheat the people with empty promises which we never intend to perform in order to obtain their votes. These violations of faith have bepn so frequent and flagrant that common honesty' and self respect demand a protest from the delegates, and they are certainly re lieved from all obligations to sustain any part of the work of thatconvention in its present mutilated form. And these breaches in the platform are not in mefe formal or immaterial matter, but of the most important and sub. stantial character, among them is the leyying of compulsory assessments, and this, too, to raise a fund which by its amount can be required only to cor rupt the very source of political power. POLITICAL ASSESSMENTS DENOUNCED. A campaign run on such a system la inconsistent with the high standard of political morality which has been the pride and boast of the Republican party, and a victory achieved by the means now in use to secure success—such as the lavish expenditure of vast sums of money for the purposes forbidden by law—will be more demoralizing and disastrous to the party than defeat. A party of principles, hiirh aims and noble purposes cannot afford to win by the arts which make the occupation of a jockey disreputable. I It cannot be disguised, and is ap parent to every man of ordinary obser vation, that the issue in this campaign which has been tendered and accepted, and which is now on trial, is whether the political practices and methods of Senator Cameron shall be endorsed and ratified by the people of Pennsyl vania. That endorsement is to be se cured by him and his managers with out regard to costs in money aud prin ciples, and by such means as can ijcvcr be repeated. The election or defeat of the candidates is a mere incident. His strength is to be tried in their names. The question could not be made plainer if he were the candidate; and if the Republicans of this State desire to ratify his acts of the past, and confirm bim in his political despotism in the future, they may bow their necks like the pp.tient ox to the yoke, and continue to bear the burdens of his imperious Bway. Rut unless the race of men who formed the Republican party has become extinct his defeat will be heavy, decisive und terrible. THE WAR FOB THE BOSSES. Tbe events of the campaign are too numerous to recite, but every act tends to prove the one central purpose, the endowment of Cameron. The candidates might be elected if the con test were mude for them alone, but it must be done in a manner to make it his triumph, or he will wreck the ticket and party. No plans but his can be entertained, and every movement must be stamped with the impress of bis method. But it will not be a wreck of the party except by his suc cess. Tbe party can bear anything better than that; and all the omens indicate as the result, the defeat of tbe ticket, the wreck of Cam eron and the salvation of the party. If his ticket be defeated, as seems in evitable, it will not be owiug to the personal weakness of the candidates, but on accouut of the load with which they have been weighed down, and when iheir defeat shall have demon strated that no candidate can carry Cameron and win the race, ambitious men will not seek his aid for nomina tions and ri*k being crushed beneath the load. Then the people and not Cameron will make the nominations, and the party, freed from his weight, will bound upward like a balloon re lieved of its ballast. Hut even to assist in this desirable consummation I do not feel inclined to take the stump. It is a business that always was distasteful to me, and being out of it now I desire to remain silent; lut one blow after another has I fallen upon the platform until there is ! scarcely a splinter left except tl e , tariff piank and even that has been threatened, until I have made up my mind that the duty which I thought I owed to support the ticket made ut a convention of which I was a member, at least to the extent of my yote, has entirely shifted, aud as I see it now I think it is the other way, and that to escape inconsisteLcy I must vote lor those who support the principles we proclaimed, and give the go-by to those who repudiate them, or who have it done in their behalf without protest. The proverbial last ounce has been too much for my back Yours truly, GEORGE LEAR." LETTER FROM CHICAGO. BEI.VIDEUB, DOONE Co , 111 ) Sept. 34, I*B3. ) FRIBND NEGLET I am 6tranded here in northern Illinois, and will help fill up a dull day by complying with your request <>t last M ay, '"'Let ii;c hear trom you if you go West " i! this distant echo reaches you aud finds yocr favor, 1 may halloa again. 1 have only begun my westward wanderings, bence my ob servations have been limited, and my conclu sions being hasty, may not bo correct. In Indiana, I discovered that nature and the soil bad produce l ! big timber, uature and cer tain other factors have produced the "Native," the native and the soil produce big,corn ; big corn and the native's care, produce big hogs, big bogs produce cash for ifce native, and the native aided by some undetermined combina tion of forces, produces big stones. The sto-ies iu (act, are tbe higgirt ihings in the State—unless it ii souie ol ILIJ swamps. So many things big and marvellous in Indiana, |iad I thought rendered me turprise proof, but Chicago penetrated !U.V arin<»r itrd surprUef! me again. I fcave been in a good inany p.aces, and am prepared t.» say of Chicago, that it "Lays over tUein all." In fa>'t I thiuk it beals the wilu a big D, in being moie to his fancy than he could expect ot any place in the 19:h century. I conceive that even Gabriel with one eye ou the past, looking tlnougli ex perience, aud the otuer (lie must be took eyed.) ou the future looking th.'ough prescience, hue not been quite "up to snail'' in regard to rbicago. it is the most wonderfully enterpris ing, go ahead place, the jollicst, aud most de lightfully wicked place 1 can conceive ot. This sort of "Ilodge Podge" is a universal lree luuch, where every body lunches, only different people call it by dillerent names as tbey smack their lips and u \ um yum" over it. Some call it ion, others business, white hosts are enthusi astic in their cry of "This is life, huirah!" The few who will admit it to be naughty, quali fy it like the French lady in speaking of the can can, by asserting that it is also Djci;, aud its "Eat, drink ana be merry, lor to-morrow we die." When one considers the juvenility of Chicago, (it is only in the Knickerbocker and ihoit dress stage,) one is astonished at its vast extern; at the great number, the massiveness and ihe splendor of its badness and public buildings ; at its long, wide, handsomeeireets, with their Nicholson or McAdaniized pavements; but its' paiks are (in the estimation oi your "true blue' Chieagoian) its crowniug glory. The parks are numerous, tjjey are line, tUey arp ejepensiye- Wondenul pyrotechnic displays occur in them every night,. Unless my obse-vation has mis. led me, there ate ma:iy thousand sparks lor eveiy park, and more Haines tuau spa'kg. No doubt but you rememlier of a big tire that oc curred herein October IS7I. Maybe the phe nomena of sparks and flames I h.'.ve just men tioned is the regult of that fire; or, could it have been the cause ? That a cow caused it bv kicking over a lamp in a barn I know is the common rumor, but then doesn't everybody know, ihat common rumor is a common liar ? JJow whicU ttill you beljeve * Common ri;mor, that the cow did it ? or me, that the sparks ana flnmes were somehow mixed up in iu it V For twenty days during the month of Sep tember ihe weather ban been the finest I ever experienced. Sunshine, wiih enough haze iu the a.mosphete to prevent excessive heat, and ii a south wind did become sultry, it soon veer ed round and came oil the lake fresh and in vigorating. In laet, the weather has been line enough to almost delude poor mortals iiiio thy potion that this is Pjradise, the veritable Garden of Eden, and s»t them hankering alVer the "Tree of L lie" that they might eat of its fruit and live here forever ; and it is my opin ion that ihe Chlcagolans (if they ever hear ol it) will get, if not the whole lice, a lew grails at least, for they aie mighty apt to indulge iu whatever I hey want, but perhaps, having so much else to enjoy they u>ay not bother about this any more than they do for the future iu general. { infer that they already have, somewhere he r eabont, the "iVee ol Knowledge.'' At least its fruit must be very abundant iu this market, since I was told (or did I ouly dieam it) that this fruit is given the youngsters in Chicago, to cut Heir eye teeth on. Lord! Lo d! why wasn't I brought up in Chicago '! And the ladies of Chicago—Lord love them, (nothing inascu'ine can help It,) no description! ol the place omitting them would be complete. The base slander mat they base big feet has bfen so often that [hey .Wear short dresses to disprove it. They are the most abundant aud the most frieudly I have ever met.
