FOR PRESIDENT
HENRY CLAY.
OF KENTUCKY.
Subject the decision the Baltimore Convention
The Secret Circular.

In another column, We insert Circular lei-
Ter, which has been gotten up aud distributed
throughout the State by some of our public SER
wants who were sent TO Harrisburg, 10 legislale
for the good OF our whole psople, and no, to-
waste their lire in attending to The sinking for
tunes of The loco foco parry. This Circular,
however, is valuable, inasmuch as il will give
the honest portion Of their party an insight 1910
ihe secret workings OF the sOire-puliers. The
individuals, whose names are appended to it,
are extensively known; and from their central
position al the seat of Government, have the
best means Of receiving correct political infor-
maion, and forming an unbiased opinion. We
have their assurance tha, the Loco Foco party
ca Pennsylvania is in danger of being over
thrown and defeated, as II was in 1910, and
'hat nothing can save il but ''Secret orgqniza-
fioa,'' OF which The Wings ars to know nothing
And what are TO be the characteristics OF this
"secret organization Ii may not be amiss TO
look al one or two of them. The Circular ad-
mts that The State has been shameluly mis-
gorerned for several years past, and It's ireasu-
ry most numerically plundered; and that the
strength of The party has been in consequence
greatly shaken. This is candid confession,
truly; but we doubt very much if il would ever
have been made had The writer's thought ii
would come TO the knowledge of the mas. of
their friends II is, and always has been, the
policy of The Loco leaders 10 keep such facts
from lhe sigh Of their Pariizans Delusion is
par, of their system of tactics, and they can
no more keep their party together by fair and
straight forward sailing, than they can move
the earth. This will open the eyes of many.
The coming proposition, however, is the
means they propose 10 preserve the asceRden-
cy of their party. "Lei our friends see to Sc
curing large majority Of the Judges and Ia
speciors of The election, and we will then have
no trouble There is no mistaking this Ian
guage. They know the people are againsl
them, and they would therefore adopt this foul
and dishonest means Of thwarting their will
No wonder they desired their Circular 10 be
kept secret, from the mass of their friends and
the Wings, for the heart of every right-hink:ng
man must revolt al the idea of such a conspir-
acy to defeat the solemn verdict Of The people al
ihe bao-box. There is some virtue, however.
sill left in the Republic. Some OF those upon
whom they counted in carrying out this unholy
plot, and 10 whom they sent copy, have come
forward aud fearessly exposed the conspiracy
and lts authors. Let The people mark the men
who would thus have deliberately injured them,
The Circular is full of lalsehoods, and the
most unbiushing impudence; but we have be-
come SO used 10 this kind of slang, that we will
not prelong this article 10 notice il more par
iicularly. After reading this letter, rhs people
will no longer wonder why nothing calculated
10 revive business and gladden. the hearts of The
people, is dene al Harrisburg. No good car
be done by men. who occupy lhe time which
should devoted 10 The business of their consiit
uen's, in haIching such villainous projecIs.--
What will The people think Of mon who daily
talk Of relrenchment and reform, and at The
same Tine charge The Stale with hundreds o.
dollars lor postage on such Circulars, by ar
abuse Of the frsnking privilege. Let the peo
pie read The Circular, and seriously rehec
upou il.
