The Potter Journal, as vell as the rest
of:our Republican cotemixwarieti, hare
had it continually belched into their ears
by the rebel press, the copperhead ()reran in
this town, that General James A.-Beaver,
H. N. Mc &llister . '7 Esq and other Zild Re-
,
publicans, had joined that little. Brigade
now being led /into temptations by the
bread and — butter which ',the murderer of J.
Wilkes
,Bboth placed in the . hands of An
drew Johnson, will find, , by referring to the
proceedings of the UniOn Republican Mass
Meeting Which wns held !in Bellefonte on
Wednesday evening last; that the General
is not the apostate to the great principles
which saved this county,'}' during the
lion, and to maintain which with his sword,
be narrowly escaped death from a rebel bul
let iu that terrible conflict With the traitor
army at Chancellorsvilie, and sacrificed a
inlei the last. sanguinary struggles before
Richmond. We were Called. upon by our
brethren of the press in this District, to'
deny that Gen. Beaver Would accept the
Copper-Johnson nomination for Congress,
and to states the truth •as to hiS alledged
hostility towards Gen:Geary. We deemed
it unnecessary ,to do so; knowing the whole
to be a lie,--ancl the charge an unpossibil
ity on the part of a'soldier such as Gen.
Beaver truly is. Mr. McAllister is in favor
of Andrew Johnson's "polie'y of nicking
treason odious and punishing traitors,'
land so are we I 'He ,is in favor of the
Amendments to the duistitution, and so
are we; he is in favor of the election of Gen.
John W. Geary and the entire, Union
County Ticket,whichisprincipally made up
I of wounded and capable soldiers, and so are
we; and if Ole lying Watdtntan can recog
nize in the PRESS a friend of the late trea
sonable poli4 of Booth's Copperhead Pres
s ident, it has less than nothing, to hope Sor
in the corning elections when the people
will so thoroughly rePudiate Copperheads,

which we lextract the following:
"The hirce aid excellent bell that called
us together this morning, - ii, the gift of Gen:
Simon Cameron to the, citizens of Sunbury;
where, when a youth, he lived for several
years, but) to be used in the court house foi
the benefi l t of the citizens of the county:
He is a native of Lancaster county. His
father and family removed to this place itt
March, 1808, where the father, soot after,
died. Tile General was then nine ye:U . l3of
age. After the death of his father he lived
in the farnily of Dr. Peter Grahl, of thia
place, who adopted him as his ion and' '
heir. The Doctor, at that time, ;was a mini
of consid4rable wealth, :highly j cultivated:
Manners, of varied and exterisive learbing
.—was a fbreiguer by birth, and had seen
much of the world. He died abobt tla4
year 1814, having before his death wasted
all his prciperty:
'The General was thud left to combat
with the ;world--=a podr orphan bdy. At
the age o' sixteen he left Sunbury, to whicll
he was Much attached, and where he ae:
quired a taste fur literature, to seek his for:
tune among strangers. Then he was
known bUt by few. Now, no'''on© in his
native St4te is ignorant of his history for
the last (thirty years. He has occupied
some of the most important positions and
officeS in t i the Government. On some men
fortune never smiles ; their pathway through
life is dark and dreary, and if occasionally
a ray et .iunshine darts across their path, it .
is followed by dark clouds And gloomv

Fortune p smiles have not often been with

and for t;he last forty-nine years has not
failed to:pay an annual visit to his old love's

tion of his future prosperity and usefulness!
He has presented the citizens of Sunbury
with a gift that; long_after he, and hint
