To the People of Penasykanna:
The approach of an election for Gov
'mw of - the - State -and Judge of the Su-
ea : upon us
promo 0
you. •
That election, altheugh confined to .
State officers, any have an effect beyond
State limits, and. exercise an imßortant
influence hereafter on • the politics and
destiny of tho nation.
Arrayed against us, and endeavoring
to secure youi votes for its candidafeS, is
the same Dornocs7,lo party which was
overwhohiiingly repudiated by the pee-
- .pie at the last Presidential election:
It has changed - none of its principles,
and reformed none of its, practices, but
as odious to-day to all loyal men as it
biis-been hoz;retofOre. • ,
Its ' Southern wing caused the rebellion,
and strove, - -by armed force, to rend in
twain that glOrious Union which was
cemented by the 'blood of our fathers.
Its Northern wing gave - all the sympathy,
aid, and, comfort to the rebellion that it
dare, by resolutions in its StateOnd,Nr-•
tional conventions, and by the votes of.
its members fit, our State and National.
.. Legislatures against all propositions and
bills offered by loyal men tending to
---\
e. strengthen the arm'of )the national Gov
ernment in its efforts to trueli the rebel
•
lion.
That party caused the expenditure - of
four thousand millions of dollars of the
public money,- and is the guilty author
of the heavy ; debt that is now pressing
down the . national industry.
It is answerable for the blood of half a
million of loYarinen, sacrificed in the
effort to crush out its wigicednese, and
, _for the_ wounds and misery of hundreds
. 9t thousands -more:
It is responsible for the
. sufferingt and
poverty of the wives mad? widows, and
the children made orphans at Democratic
hands. _
In its National Conve4ion the North
ern wing permitted the r pouthem rebels
at
to dictate e Nationpl ;emocratic Plat-,
form and policy, and hasl . gain taken to
its arms‘the 'men whose t ands are net
yet cleansed of the blood o Northern pat
i
riots.
That party is in favor of free trade in
commerce as fully now as when its Vice
President, Dallas, gave the casting vote
against American industry, more
twenty years ago.
It fafoni practical repudiation of the
_national- debt, -by ; -paying off interest
bearing bonds redeemable in gold, with
irredeemable notes, bearing -no interest,
And which fronkheir excess would become
as worthless as Continental paper.
It pirosents as its candidate for Geyer.
nor, a man thoroughly impregnated with
all those abominable heresies, who, though
rich beyond the necessities and wants of
any reasonable man, evades, by - disingenJ
ous shifts and'artiflcos, the payment 6f
his taxesi and throws uPoci the rest of the
people of, the State that share of the
burdens of the State which he is •legally
bound to bear.
If be should be unfortunately elected,
he will be as "clay in 'the hands •of the'
potter," , in tho -handit of -that-unscrupuz
lona at of men too well known to the
State and nation as " the coffee pot Dem
ocracy," who have so persistently' en
deavored for the last few years, by whole . -
sale fraudulentnaturalization papers and
fraudulent _election returns, to destroy
the value of the elective franchise.
• -It presents as its candidate for the
highest judicial office, a gentleman un
known to his profession, and whose lim
ited experience renders him unable to
grapple with the great questions that aro
continually presented to our Supreme
Coln* "
Such men surely are not entitled to the
support of loyal and intelligent freemen.
On the other' hand, we assort that the
Republican party is the party of loyalty,
of devotion to the Union, and to the
rights of all men. • _
It stood by the Government in the hofir
of its" great extrelnity. Its young men
,went to the battle field, and'bffered up
their lives in defence, of the' integrity of
etho Union, while its opponents stayed at
homO, and rejoiced in rebel victories. '
' 'lts capitalists, when the credit Of the
Government was lowest, offered up their
wealth to support our armies in the field;
and to provide hospitals for the sick and
• 'wounded.
It has voted bounties for the soldiers
and provided -pensions for the. disabled
and for the widows and orphans of the
patriot dead, and is now in the State of
Pennsylvania alone 'expending iplf a mil- '
lion of dollars yearly to: educate the or
phans of deceased soldiers. -
• ,
Recognizing the duty of an onlight
ened govornmont to provide for the en
couragement of the industry of the pdo
. - plc, it has enacted tariffs ito prevent, un
duo competition by the pauper labor of
other countries . with the labor of the
American citizen. ,
.-....--- •
Regarding 'the plighted faith of the
Government as the most sacred of obli
gations, Rims determined that the debt
' of the nation (except whore 'otherwise
, • agreed upon), shaltbo paid in gold to the
- est &Aar. • • • .

. months 'of existence, 50 millions of
dollars of the national debt caused by
. the Dentocrany, and with the prospect of
' • paying off 500- millions thereof • during
Grant's administration, whilst in the State
administration, under the skilful admin.
istration of Governor Cleary,' it has paid
off five millions of dollars of our State in

TO THE FREEHOLDERS.OF THE
-• COMMONWEALTH O 2 PENN:
• SYLVANIA: •
. Two weeks from to-day ;it will . bO your
privilege, in common with your fellow
citizens, to elect a - Governor for - this gret
Commonwealth, 'and whatever may be
your preference, you have but two per
sons to select from, the. Hon, John W.
Geary and-the Hon. Asa Packer, repre
senting respectively the Republican and
Denio'cratio parties. Personally there
can be no possible objection to either of
these, gentlemen, awl - hence it is for you
to decide whether you will entrust the
government of the State to the Republi.,
can or the Democratic party, and as you
deal* this question you will cast your
votes for one of these gentlemen. Under
these circumstances it becomes our duty
to exandue the record-of each during the
time they liave.had , control-of-the State
government. I shall not enter into an in
vestigation of their actions in relation to
the many great national questions that
have agitated. the public-mind-for-the
last twenty-five years, but •the more
domestic one. How have thei managed
our own household? -
On the 36th of November, 1 . 842; the
debt of the Commonwealth hid reached
the sum of $37,037,788.24; and from this
time untiVanuary, 1861, the Democratic
party had alMost uninterrupted control
of the State government—twice only
were they defeated in the .election for
Governor, and during the whole :period
they had a majority in one or ther branches
of the State government, and no measure
could pass that-did not at least meet
their approval: They levied taxes-on
-personal property, • permitting nothing
to--escape,-from the-toilet-to'llio stable.-
They plaCed taxes on our - corporations,
discriminating against those built by our
own citizens and for the purpose of -de
veloping our vast mineral and agricultural
resources,:and Upon.you,_theLfreehohlers
of this CommonWealth,.theylevied taxes
on yew' households, wholly unnecessary,
and only to be squandered among their
parasites. The single item of taxes on
your real estate during this period
amounted to the enormous aum.of twenty
five millions of-dollars, not one dollar of
which would have been needed bad they
property husbanded their Other resources.
What did they do with this?—build rail
roads and canals—:no. They were already
completedi on the .contrary, _they. .Per.
nutted our State works to go to destruc
tion, so much so that when put up for
sale, they were disposed of at one-third
'their original cost, and were by no means
Che'ap at that.- Did they pay off.the in
debtedness of the State? not -a dollar;
for on the first of January, 1801, when
-the Republican party came in power/they
found the debt of the State n 7,969,847.80.
Thirty-two theusand, dollars in excess of
what it was eighteen, years before. The
truth is, these vast sums were squandered
for the purpose of . retaining power, and
not until after an indignant constituency
had, hniled them ffom power did we 'ever
hear of a Democrat advocating au eco
nomiCal State, administration—but let us
pass to the other side. • •
. The Republican party cave fully into
power in January, 1861, with a State
debt hanging over us of $37,069,847.60,
and ere three months had :elapsed they
were compelled to' borrow $3,000,000 for
the purpose of arming and equipping our '
quota to - aid in crushing the'slavelnficlers'
rebellion.
Since the inauguration - of Governor
.Cuttin nine years have nearly expired;
and these have been nine years of Repub
lican rule r —true, at times the Democratic
Tarty have had control of, one or ,more
branches of the , State government, but
have never held sufficient power to enable
•them to dictate the policy of the State.
What; has been the result Y. The State
debt on the thirtieth of November, 1808,
less funds in bank to pay overda loans
not then presented, was $02,705,203.25..
The State Trelisuror is no*Tproposing_
to pay off ono million ($1,0003161)dollars
of the debt duo . July-1, 1870, which will
'be done as soon as presented, and for all
practical purposes can be considered paid,
which leaves us with a, debt of $31,795,..„
20129, or . $0,174,554.21 less than',WhOri
the Republican party came into power.

Oats that*Repnlilican administration:

Why-it was neceipary -that this should be,
done ? It is Simply bobanielt 'WOuld
•shoW the stnpidityor the neglect of their
own administrations. In 1855 the Dem
ocratic party had .allowed $8,500,000. of
the debt to -remain , over. due,: in 1857,
$17,000,000, and in 1860, $20,000,000.
, Why were these past clue obligations of
tho State not provided for? . people
were taxed 'vigorously for State purposes.
Every acre .of land contributed to the
State revenues.. Money was abundant,
and could be borrowed at low rates. Why
'were not these loanS provided for ns.they
fell due ? • Thom is but one answer, and
that is that, Democratic Governors and
Legislatures were inconapoten't to
age the finances of the State.- • •
But -why should Goary's administra
tion-be censured fer'borrowing meek to
pay debts that hispredecessors had dis
honored ? It :would occur ' any one
except a Pendleton •Deznociat, that' a•
State is as much bound to, redeem its ob
ligations when due, "as is an indiVidual.
There. was no alternative. Creditors of
the State to the amount of 00,000,000,
. had waited for more than ten years after
the bonds beCame due, for payment, and
- could the State in honor Or decency rem
fuse to pay them ? But,: then, the old
bonds only bore live per cent interest,
whilst the bonds issued to, take them up
bear six per cont. -Most strange to . say,
_this is set ifp 'es an ' argument against
funding 'and paying the 'debt. Have
creditors no;„rights ? Must those who
bifineff money to the State wait forever
for their dues because the rate of interest
lalligher now than When their loan was
inade,,,,_ • Must the Commonwealth forfeit
both herimnor and creditln order that
she may save 'directly one percent on her

But who are really chargeable with this
increased • expense ? The ' - DeMocracy.
This %%We 00,000,000 - fell - clue at a timo

was it net demo? The Democratic party.
was in , poWer, and neglected' to provide
for the payment of the debt that it had
created when it became due; Since then
the , rate of interest on State loans has
advanced. Is 'not the PartY Who should

RADICAL BOSH
The {iffiest of the many flings at.Judgo
Packer, is the assertion of sonic •of the
loil editors that he (Packer) boarded at
the Merchants Hotel in Philadelphia. in
order that his Property in Carbon county
might escape taxation. The 'story is too
absurd for serious lufutatioo for no
matter where a man resides, lus property
is taxed in the county in whicllit is situa

If 'it 'had suited our.„neighbor to tell
whatthe charge against Asa Packer was,
the above quoted sentences Would lose a
good deal of their. force. The charge
against the Pride of-the Valley is this:
Tn July 1867, Judge Packer wes notified
That ho was assessed in the hero:MO:a
Mauoh Chunk for a total tax of $33,382.77.
on a valuation of $25,050 real'estato, and
$1,128,38.5 personal property. He re
fused to pat this. tax, claiming that he
resided and was assessed in Philadelphia.
After litigating , the matter and being
threatened witir distress, warrants, la
paid the' amount of the assessment on
the fifth of February, 1808, although the

DEMOCRATIC DESPERATION
The nomination of Asa Packer by
the DomeCracy, shOws at "Once the
desperation and the cupidity of their
managers. It is not even pretended
by Ahem that Packer's 'ability, public
service, patriotism, or statesmanship
secured him the nomination. nir was
it given in reward for his services as
a party leader or worker.. The •nomina
tion was simply a bargain and sale—the.
I• offer and delivery of the honors of a de
feated party to an ambitious millionaire;
in return for the promise of a supply of
the sinews of war for the present cam
paign, After Grant's election the routed
hosbi of the Democracy were without
hope, destitute of principles, bereft of
poi'ver 2 —broken, disheartened, and demor
alized. Their treasury was empty and
their sources of revenue cut off. The fat
-offices, whiCh Johnson showered upon
the leadbrsin return for worthless prom
ises of. a more worthless support, were
taken from them. Without money, a
campaign by' the 'Democrntic party is
impossible. Fraudulent naturalization,
colonization, bribery, and the kindred
Machinery of their orgaffizntion, although
very effective in swelling the vote, aro ex-
pensive, and impossible without money.'
With money, the machinery of the cam
paign might be put in motion, their
,or;
gantiation might
.be. preserved, and al.
though. victory Was not to be hoped for,
defeat wile preferable to dissolution.
. . .
In this' dilemma their party leaders
turned their • eyes to Packer. ,-The inn-..

The mast widely circulated of ,all, the
cenipaign — acturients of the Democracy,
is a speech of lion. William A. ,Wallace,
who was conspicuous a year.br two since
as the distributer of fraudulent naturali
zation papers. - Mr. Wallace, is highly
indignant at the expenditures of Gov.
Gcary's administration. He is terribly
distressed at the thought that the money
of the people should be squandered by
increased expenditures. He gives tvgreat
many aggregates to show that the expen
ses of the State Government are yearly
inci:eeSed, but he is carefdl not to give
items. In this he nets wisely. The Au
ditor General's Report of last yedr shows
that one or the items of legislative 'ox
pauses of last year, was the neat 'little
suns of $ 20,000, expenses paid the
contested election' case in the,2lst Sena
torial District. It. will lie remembered,
that this was the'case %Quire, by the aid
of Wallace's coffee stained naturalization
papers, a Democratwas given theseat in
the Senate that rightfully belonged to a
Republican.. correction and expo
sure, of those frauds cost one-sixth. of the
entire expenses of the Senate for that
session. But for Democratic fradds there
would have been no dififeulty, no ex
pense, no lose of time over the seat of a
Senator. When Mr. Wallace .pitches , ',
into the pesters, and folders again,' lot

About 10 o'clock, on Wednesday night
last, many of our citizens residing in
the neighborhood of the public square,
were alarmed' by several pistol shots min
gled with the startling cry of murder.
On prOceeding tone place where the pistol
reports and the shrieks of murder came
from, it was discovered that an attaok, had
been made on Mr. George Gougher, who
was the only occupant of a two story
building situated near the market hOuse.
As far as we can learn; Mr. Gougher had
*retired early in the evening, ho not feel
ing well. About the hour designated,
several ruffins forced their way into his
residence, tore dc4n the stairway' that
led to the second story, 'where he slept,
and demanded his money or his life./
He denied having any money and they
then fired at him four times, fortunately
withouedOing him any injury. The noise
attracted the attention of the. citizens'
and. the villains fled. Mr.' Gougher in
forms us that the Police aro on the traelc.
Money lertainly was the object of these
fellows as it was ;well known that he
had been paid somo that day. , " • '
• From the amount of slate about the
Court Rouse; we infer 'that our county
fatborg intend repairing , or perhaps
