friends, that Lehgh county will not only do her du

us larger majority, than has been the case for
number of years. Union and harmony prevails
among the friends of Porter and Democracy, in all
sections of the county, and it is cheering to see and
learn how Jealous and active orr friends are. We
are not going to stop at small majority-but all are
determined of doing abig business--and the way we
shall put down our opponents will be long remom-
bered by them There is at this time much dissats-
faction and division among them; some are for Har-
rison, some for Clay and many do not like Ritner.

Porte--many are on the lcnce-and when gather

We go for at least 10000 majority in the state--t
cannot well be otherwise, when we have such first
rate man before the people as Gen. Porter, who pos
sesses much experience, true and infexbe, superior

of such qualifications is the man of our choice

CAPTURE OF RECTOR.

We find in the New York Courier and
Enquirer the follWing account of the capture
of Rector, who it will be recolected escaped
from the city prison in N. York, by forcibly
OBTAINING the under keeper:
Yesterday afternoon two countrymen,
named William Light and Robert Brown,
brought to this city from, Poughkeepsie,
Thomas Rector, convicted of murder, whose
escape from prison we noticed a few days
since, and for whose apprehension reward of
one thousand dollars had been offered by the
Governor and Sheriff. 1t appeared from
the statement of his captors, anb Of negro
who had hand in the arrest, that Rector
had stolen horse from a Mr.. Mills, residing
near Peekskill, and some young men hav-
ing got upon his track, followed and came
up with him whena few miles from Pough-
keepsie. He then managed to escape and
got into a swamp, where he ellectually
eluded his puIsures, who, however, recoy-
cred the stolen horse. After travelling
some time through this place, he met a
negro who took him in to Poughkeepsie
for three dollars. He then stated that he
had fallen overheard from a vessel coming
up the river, and as he was wet at the time
the poor negro believed the story, and lent
him an oyercoat. On their arrival at
Poughkeepsie he also purchased for him a
pair of shoes as he was barelooted, and he
himself purchased a new hat.
The negro as he was going home met
Light and Brown, who were in search of
Rector as a horse theft, and he went back
with them to Poughkeepsie, to assist in
finding the rogue. After much trouble, he
was found Sitting near the dock, waiting
for steamboat, aud while watching him
one of the young men Glanced to take up a
paper containing an account of the escape
of Rector, and offering a reward for the
apprehension of the murderer, and also Civ
ing description of the person of Rector
After looking at the accused for some time,
they became satisfied that he was Rector,
the murderer, for whom the reward was OF
fered, and they accordingly arrested him
and brought him to this city, where his ar
rival was hailed with great Joy by the un-
fortunate keeper, who was accused of
abetting his escape.-The fugitive stated
that after remaining some days concealed at
place near this city, he walked to Yonkers,
whence he started in the steamboat for Sing
Sing. Having landed there, he went on
foot up the river, until caught as above
stated. 1t is but fair to state, that he entire
ly exonerates the keepers from aiding or
b citing his escape

and his legislative career forms bright

man of cultivated mind and vigorous under
standing, versed in the knowledge of all
our political rights, and nerved with the en-
ergy necessary to sustain them. To him
the community may look with confidence
in her present emergency, and safely con-
fide to his hands the destnes of our great
and growing commonwealth. His admin
istraiion will bring us back to the days Of
Jeiier5onian democracy, and once more
place old Pennsylvania among the demo-
cratic states Of the Union.
All that is necessary to enable us to real
ise our utmost expectations at the approach
ing contest is to unite vigorously IN support
of the nomination of the party. Union ard
Harmony, should be our motto. He that
would distract should be viewed as an Akan
in the camp, and an enemy to the cause.
The redemption Of the state from political
pollution should be the sole object of every
democrat, and no sacrifice should be deem
ed too great TO accomplish it. Let us then,
fellow citizens, steadily adhere to the great
Truths and doctrines we profess, conscious
that our prosperity as people is to be at
tributed mainly to their influence, and all
will result well. We will still continue to
be people increasing in virtue and great
ness, and will leave as 1ich legacy to our
children, that which is far better than gold
or silver, the inheritance of upheld and
perpetuated civil and religious privileges.

whom are his warmest and most enthusias-

been suspected of having punoined any
papers from the public offices, of which he
is charged in that letter. Such a charge
was first heard of from that letter and
creates nothing but disgust here amongst
both parties of politicians. TT rs NOT
TRUE! David r. Porter was elected to
Office in this county, when no other man of
his party could be elected. This proves
that the assertions Of the writer are totally
false. An Indictment is now pending in this
county against r. Campbell for writing
that letter. If he cannot be proven the
author, of course he will be acquited--if
otherwise it will be shown in what light he
stands before the people of this county

To ISaac Slenker, Esq.

Dear Sir--Having heard that a letter
purPorting to have been written by Robert
Campbell, has been read in public meet
ing in your county charging David n.
Porter with certain things altogether disre-
putable to any man, let alone a candidate of
the great state Of Pennsylvania for Governor;
we take the liberty of writing to you few
lines upon the subject. We have known
David K, Porter for many years; some Of
us since he came into this county, and being
his near and immediate neighbors can testi-
iy with honesty and truth to his character.
and the fdisehOOd of the charges made
against him in that. Mr. Campbell, it is
said, having since been called upon, denies
that he is the author! But as letter of
this kind has no doubt been written, and
endeavored to be circulated by some indi-
vlduals for certain purposes, we can say at
once that David r. Porter has never been
charged by the people Of this county for
dishonesty, but on the contrary, is consider
ed, and always has been, as a strictly hon
est man. lie neUer refused to pay an hon
est debt, and the best evidence of this is to

CAMPBELL'S LETTER.

It's known to the people Of Union county,
that letter signed "Robert Campbell" >" has
for some time been shown about by Nerr
Middleswarth and others, and more recently
read at public meeting in Miflinburg ma
king various grave charges against Gen.
Porter. The following letter signed by 81
responsible citizens. neighbors of Gen.
Porter, puts quite different face upon this
matter. Twenty Of these signers voted
for Riner in 1895, among whom we re-
cognize several who formerly represented
that party in the Legislature. Read the

ISLANDER REFUTED.

A large number of the citizens of Hun
ingdon have come forward and exposed TIE
falsity Of the base ISLANDERS propagated
against the character Of David r Porter, the
Democratic candidate for Governor. The
following letter signed by cighty-four highly
respectable citizens of Huntingdon, all
neighbors of Gen. p, and 20 of whom
voted for Gov. Ritner in 1885, will carry
conviction to every mind of the total alb
sence of any foundation for these charges,
and Of the reckless depravity of the leaders
Of the party which resorts to such dishonor-
able means to prop up a sinking cause. Let
it be borne in mind that the said Robert
