At Mercer, Tuesday, the Republican County Committee was outhnsiastio for Major McDowell, ami so long as they be lievo that he is being mado tho victim of a conspiracy their loyalty to him is admira ble anil worthy of emulation hut when they nay that they will stand by biin till the polls clone ia November, even though his nomination was brought about by bribery, if it oannot bo proved that the money used was bis money, they not only forget their duty to their party but also their duty an good citizens. Sustaining acknowledged or confessed bribery means gelling office or power to the highest bid der; it is the end of popular government; and though there have been rumors of buy ing and selling in connection wit.hprevious nominations for Congress, this is the first case in which the niitnos and amounts have been positively stated, and the people giv en an opportunity to show their condem nation of such work. The people of Mer cer county cannot afferd to set such a pre cedent, tbey are an intelligent people,their vote in public questions iu tho past shows that they arc an honest people, and we do i not believe that they will adhere to the I plan of action mapped out by thoir County Committee at Mercer, Tuesday. If two of tho other counties had gono t„>gotber at tho New Castle couveutiou.and somebody, no matter who, bad purchased three of the Mercer county delegates, thereby making an apparent nomination, and the matter had come to light as this matter has, they would have been the first to repudiate a nomination brought about by such means. IT is not a question AN to whether Maj. McDowell, his best friend or worst enemy did the bribing ol the Beaver delegate?. The Maj. says he did not do it we give him the benefit of his denial, but the question ia. Wa3 the nomination honestly and fairly . made? All admit that on the 195 th ballot he conld not have been nominated with out these bribod votes, and as they were unlawful they cannot be oountod and his nomination is void. Portersville Items.

Medical aid was soon rendered but of no avail and she was soou called from hor suilering to that heavenly home to meet her Ood. It was one of the moat pitiful aud heart rendering Bcen#s that we have ever witnessed. The bereaved husband has the sympathy of the entire neighborhood in his afUiction. the young couple having been married but three months before. VITA. Tho Mercer Co. Convention. Mercer is a quiet, little town, located on the top of a hill, near tho centro of Merc r county. It ia distinctively a Court House town, and it* location precludes it from bi ,ing anything else. Tho Court He . surrounded by « gn-re in the centre of the town, alt the buniness houses of the town aro around that square, and there are neveral fcandsomo residences on tfcf street running north and south and skirling the Court House square on the ea.-tern side Tho only animation or lifo to be seen in tl.c town last Tuesday was in and abont t 1 o Court House, and the reason for this w ~ the meeting of the Rupnblieau County Committee, to take action on tho charges of bribery that have been made and con fessed, in connection with the, nomination of Major Alex. McDowell, of Sharon, for Congress. '•Our Alex," as they call him up there, was in the crowd shaking hands and talk ing with everybody; so was tho Honorable Samuel Miller, and so were tho other politicians of tho town It was sometime after 1 o clock when the crowd started up tho stairways to the little court-room, which was soon comfortably filled, and fully half past one when Chair man Perry called the meeting to order with a tremendous blow with his hammer on the jndge's bench, and stated its object. Mr. Perry referred to the charges of bribery so quickly following the adjourn ment of tho New Castle convention; ad vised cool and deliberate action, the sur render of no rights, the doing of nothina that they would regret, and called upon Major McDowell to make his statement. The Major stepped into the box-like "bench"' amid tremendous applause, and after it subsided made a speech somewhat similar to tho one he made to our Co. Com mittee, though moro lengthy. Townsend promised to nominate him, and he finally was nominated on the 195 th ballot, had never had any conversation with the three Beaver Co. delegates who voted for him. did not and will not pay them a dollar nor authorise anybody to pay for him, an! as far as he knows not a dollar was paid. He courts a rigid and searching investigation, referred to the action of the Beaver and Butler County Committees; in the interest of harmony he advised the Co. Committee to appoint a committee to meet with those of the other counties and search aud ex amine, and if their report found himsell or his delegates connected with the bribery ho will step down and ont; ho advised do ing nothing rash, but that tho Co. Com mittee bo firm and show tho Republicans of tho district that they would have justice aud fair treatment; he does not want to force himself on the party and in its in terest will step aside if found guilty ol fraud or illegal practices. He believes the Republicans of tho 25th district arc willing •to concede justice as between county anu couuty and man and man, they must, be friends and not enemies, thero is no room for two candidates but plenty of room for one; Mercer Co. was well represented at New Castle and there are no charges against cither its candidate or delegates. Tho Major was heartily applauded several times during his speech, aud seem ed to have the absolute confidence of all or nearly all his audience. A motion for a committee of five on reso lutions then carried, it was appointed, and the Chair announced a recess of twenty minutes, and somebody said ho had receiv ed a telegram from Quay to quit aud send him au original package. The feeling against Quay in the county seems to lie intense. Threats of bolting Delauiater, though they gave him their delegates last Spring, wero heard on al! 6ides. They seem to think that McDowell is being made the victim of a conspiracy that originated with Quay. The committee on resolutions reported and the resolutions were read. They speak | of the charges of bribery, of McDowell'* disclaimer, of their explicit faith and con fidence in him, but at his request will name a committee of threo to meet witji tho committees of the other counties, their committee to act with others and make report to their Co. Committee at a future meeting; and if Mi.jor McDowell had nothing to do with tho bribery they will claim tho district nomination for him. The Chairman asked for remarks from Mercer, Beaver, Butlor or Lawrence Co. men present. Sam Miller arose and said that he noticed that the Rev. Dr. Mehard, of was present, aud calls were made for the Dr., who said be was not there to make a speech. Ho thought the resolutions should be passed, though it was a settled principle that fraud smirched a nomination, and though the nomination was regular, it was the duty of a candidate to declino such u nomination and again go before the people; individual cases must be considered with their surroundings and antecedents; Mercer Co. ebouUl adhcro to tho Major on his statement of the case, ho know tho Major by reputation; it was well-known that two years ago McDowell could have had a dole gate from Lawrence Co. for slso,but didn't take him. Then Sam Miller was called for; Sam hesitated; somebody said Sam was bashful aud that brought down the house. Sam spoke highly of McDowell's character, is sure that an investigation will clear him, end then they should all stand bv him, as such action was duo to Mercer Co., its 15 delegates, McDowell and manhood. Henry Hall was the next speaker. Ho said we aro all for McDowell because we know him; we won't take the word of three self confesned boodlers against his reputa tation, and we waut investigation. Wo don't want McDowell to be tho victim of of somebody else's sin. Mr. J. C. Brown, of Greenville, formerly editor of the Arg i«, believes McDowell had nothing to do with the bribery; he made uo improper proposals for his four delegate*, but if a committee investigated and reported, then wbatf This is not a question of McDowell's guilt or innocence, j the important question is "Was there bribery?" "Wero these threo votes pur chased*" If there was bribery, if these three votes wero purchased, then the nom ination is invalid and there was uo nomi nation made. The question of McDowell's guilt or innocence was a false position. Mr. Brown was the only Mercer C<>. speaker who had the courage t«> touch the rital point of the matter, and his remarks were received in silence, except the mut tyred threats of revenue and disapproba tion. ilr. Evacs, of Sharon, said the laboring tnen of Sharon were for McDowell. Sam Miller answered Drown's speech, lie i-aid that fraud does not vitiate every thing it touches; that if onr legislature would attempt to pass a bill that bore bird on the corporations and the corpora tions wonld use money to prevent if, and the other side would use money to pass it. and did paws it, it would yet be a good la'.v. There were Supremo Conrt de cisions on the point, and the law would stand. Ho didn't know of any fraud, but assuming it as true, the three men were brought to beat somebody else; McDowell was innocent: his nomination had been made unanimous and the other 57 dele gates had not been bribed; since this affair came out he had revised his opinion of . Judas Iscariot; Judas gave back the money and went out and hanged himself, while these three men kept the money and squealed. There is no sickly sentimental ism in his character and if the committee reports Major McDowell innocent he will stick to him till he himself pulls down his flag. I Then the other counties were again called upon for remarks, but there were no responses. Speakers from other counties j were not present. because they had not . been invited. Sam ililler Reetned especial ly ansious to get a whack at a Butler Co. 111:111. but was not given a chance. Ban. j seem* to bo McDowell'* attorney in this' matter, and he carefully avoids the Tital, question at issue. as acted upon by Bearer and Butler Counties, and »• stated by Mr. Hrowu. If the boot was on the otbor foot, if threo of McDowell's men bad played Judas and sold tliom-.dve» to either of the other three candidates for Congre*. thus | making a nomination and defrauding Mc- Dowell. Sam would probably be the loadest-mouthod man in tho district in his denunciation of tlio frand. Wo imagine that he wonld seek a position on the top of tho water tf.nk and try to make a:l Morcer Co. hear him at the w.nio timo. The quostion was then called for and put and the resolutions passed unanimous ly. Miller wanted tlin roll called, but Chairman Perry decided that to be un necessary. Then Snm called for every bodv ia the room who were for McDowell to rise to their feet, and almost everybody arose. Then Sam wanted anybody who opposed him to rise, and one young man arose and said that he was for McDowell if he was innocent, but not otherwise, and Chairman Perry answered "Oh, yes, if our Alex, ain't innocent, wo won't be for our our Alex." A motion to make Chairman I'errj tho chairman of tho investigating committee carried, and Perry appointed S. H. Miller aud llenry Uobinson as his associates. Then all arose and gavo McDowell three cheers and the meeting adjourned. The resolutions are as follow.-: THE BKSOLCTIOSS. The resolutions adopted follow: Whereas, It is alleged that the nomina tion of Maj. Alex. McDowell as the Re publican candidate for Congress for this, the Twenty-fiflh district, was brought about bykthe bribery of one or more of the delegates representing Beaver county in the lato Congressional convention, and Whereas, Maj. McDowell disclaims all knowledge of tho alleged bribery ha\ing been committed, aud states to this com mittee that he neither paid nor promised to pay directly or indirectly, bv himself or by any other person, any consideration whatever to secure tho vote or votes of any delegate in said convention, and Whereas, This committee has implicit faith and conlidence in the veracity, honesty and integrity of Maj. McDowell, and, therefore, believe that neither ho nor any of the Mercer county delegates 01 friends had any pirt in corruptly soliciting or obtaining the votes of an}" delegates of said conyention; therefore, Resolved, first f That we hereby announce and declare that we recognize Maj. Mc- Dowell as the Republican nominee for Congress iu this, the Twenty-fifth district; that as such we earnestly and heartily ill dorse his candidacy. :inil pledge him the active and unanimous support of every member of this committee and of the Re publican voters of this county. Resolved, second. That Maj. McDowell having requested the same, the Chairman of this committee be authorized and direct ed to appoint a committee of throe Repub licans to act in conjunction with coin mitees appointed or to be appointed by the Republican County Committees ot tho other counties comprising the district to investigate the charges of illegal bribery in «nid Congressional convention, with direction to report their action at a future meeting to lie held by this committee. Resolved, third, That when tho com mittee to be appointed this day shall, after investigation, report to this com mittee that Maj. McDowell had no complicity or particiption in the alleged bribery, and that, he is innocent of all con nection therewith, then it is the duty of this committee and the right ol the Repub licans of Mercer county, to claim, demand and expect for Maj. McDowell tho .support of every Republican in the district. Tnu state of Massachusetts was visited by a cyclone—an unusual thing—last Saturday, and the town of South Lawernce was demolished, aud twenty people were killed. CHAIRMAN IICSELTON of the Co. Com mittee has appointed Col. John M. Sulii vau, Ron. Jos. Thomas Jr. and James M. Carson to represent Butler county iu the conference that will soon be held to arrange for the nomination of a Congress man for this district. Reaver, Butler and Mercer Counties have now acted, and the Republican Co. Committee of l.uwreuce Co. meets tomorrow, Saturday, in New Castle. A RKYOLUTIOH has brokcu out in the army of tho Argentine Republic, and its late President, Dr. Celmara, is a fugitive. TUK nomination of Maj. McDowell for Congress was bought about by some one furnishing to bribe three delegates in tho Convention to vote lor him. The bribed parties admit this; then the nomi nation is the result of fraud aud violation of law and is void, yet Mr. Miller ofMercer say to McDowell "stick to tho goods thus obtained," and expects honest Republicans to endorse a nomination made iu that manner.
