What commentary are these figures on the
boasted fidelity ofGen. Petrikin and his par,icu.
lar friends around him, TO the party. The de-
mocralic vote for Governor, united, is $40, and
yet the regular cadidate for Senator gets but
295, and one OF the democratic Representatives
only 2i0, while the other, Mr.. Taggart, rcceiv-
ed $50, or within 40 votes OF the entire party
strength But let this plain statement OF Il.
cures suffce-it is too plain to need comment
for the public 10 discover the object which
prompted this renewed attempt by this same
Gen, to di>organize the party in Lycomlng.
But all this might have been forgotten and for.
given had II not been followed up with unrcmn-
ting vigor, and steadily persisted in on all suit
able occasions, as shall presently show it was.
Under such circumstances who can wonder
that candidate so obnoxious and liable Ia ecu
sure as Gen. Petrikin, should be defeated, with
even the most favorable circumstances on his
side.
la ls3G,.Gen. Petrikn was delegate to the
convention which formed the county ticket,
aud IN speech OF characteristic malgnity de-
nounced Gen. Fleming, who had been nominal.
cd as the Senatorial delegate TO the reform
convention.
Previous 10 the formation of the county tick
ct in 1887, it is well known fact that The ex.
ertions of Gen. petrlkn were all directed to tie
defeat of DIR. Taylor, for reelection to the Le-
glslature. He was, however, almost unanimous
L.. n 4
disafiecton of Gen. Petrlkin, in this particular,
were soon followed by the announcement Of s.
Bastress, Esq, as a volunteer candidate. MIR
Bastress was the warm personal aud political
friend OF this same Muncy Factonist, and the
same person who had received the support OF
himself and friends for Senator, in the conyen-
] tion of 1885, which nominated Mr. Packer. lie

ry, Northumberland Co. Pa. Saturday, Feb. L. 1915.

This, in accordance with the prudent sugges-
tons ofthe standing committee, of which Gen.
Petrikin ana Thomas Maxwell were part,
perfect union ofthe party, on local questions
was effected, and single ticket presented TO it
tor support all the delegates having pledged
themselves unanimously to support the ticket
formed. But what singular aspect did the re.
turns of the election Of that year present! The
two democratic candidates for Governor receiv-
ed 2094. Ritner (whig) received 1917 Now,
it is plain that with full vote, each candidate
on the democratic compromise ticket should
have received about 500 majority over their
whg opponents, if the whole party had support
ed it honestly and .JaHhfuiiy. But, unfortunat-
y, it was not so. Mr.. Packer received but
1855, while his whig opponent received 1913.
Mr. Gamble received but 1917, while Mr.. Tag
CART, the political twin.bro,her ofGen. Petrkin.
received 1850 votes,---a number very nearly e.
qua TO the whole democratic strength Of the
county. How manifest it is that while Messrs.
Packer and Gamble, and others, their friends,
in good faith supported Mr. Taggart and the O.
ther friends Of Gen. Petrikn, that this same
Gen. and Mr.. Taggart, with nearly oil their
friends, proved traitors to Messrs. Packer,
Gamble and their friends, by secretly plotting
their defeat,-ether voting for the whig candi.
dates or conniving at their election by not vot-
ing at all, while at the same time they were
making ioud professions Of honesty, which plot
was not discovered until after the election. by
the friends of Messrs Packer and Gamble.
But, as the fact OF treason is fully established
by the election returns of that year, [ shall
show from what quarter it came, and how adj.
mirably will our two distinguished committee.
men, Gen. Pctrikin and NJ. Maxwell and their
particular friend and candidate, Taggnrt, dis.
charged their duty, and carried out their own
recommendations and pledges. The two first
OF these gentlemen, it is well known, reside in
Muncy, and Mr.. Taggart in Moreland, and it
is equally well known THAI they claim and ex-
ercse controlling influence over the political
destinies of that part of the lower end of the
county Immediately around them. That they
have, on sundry occasions, most etfec,ually
hoodwinked and deceived part Of the honest
democracy of this section, we are free TO admit;
and never more completely did they do this
than at the election in 1885, as is manies, by
the annexed table The districts which have

State Senators.

There will be l6 Senators to be elected in this
State at the next August Election, and of this
| number, ten from Districts which gave whig
ma ority at the late Presidential Election. If
the wings united rs they should be, we con-
fdenty believe that tho next Legislature will
have majority Of wings on joint ballot. 1t
should be tho object of every whig in the State TO
secure this result. 1t will be the duty Of the
next Legislature 10 distr ct the State, to elect
United States Senator, and the shameful manner
-, ,t,'~h the election of this officor Jofoa.-a
by the democrats last winter, should induce the
wings to act with additional zeal in tho coming
contest. Two Supreme Judges will also have
whig the present Bench will be continued.
We know that some of whg friends, and
oven those who have heretofore been prominent
leaders in tho whig ranks, now, that Mr.. Polk is
advice, como from what it ma we trust will
bo unheeded. If the principles of the whig party
are worthy of being sustained, it is equally
duty to contond for them NOW as it was at any
previous time. If, however, the wings, as par
ty, have boen merely manifesting factious op-
position to tho principles advocated by thoir po-
litcal opponents, then 90 for dsbandng tho
whig organization, and even for repudiating the
very namo Of whig Those who talk of dis
banding the whig party have but one more politi-
cal stop to take, and that is to go into the
ranks of our political opponents.

whig Victory in Connecticut.

The wings have swept the entire State, r. S.
Baldwin has been reelected Governor; there is
q decided majority in both branches of tho Legis-
ture, and better than all that, have elected an en-
siro whig delegation to Congress, in place of the
four locofocos who were in the last Congress-
The majority for Governor will be about 2OOO.-
Last year there was no election by the people,
and the whig Governor was elected by the Legis-
lature. The names Of tho wings elected to Con-
gress are James Dix, S. d. Hubbard, J. A. Rock
we'll, and Truman Smith. The entire delegation
in the last Congress were locos, and all but ono
voted for Texas. They now repudia,ed, and
their acts condemned.

District Convention.

We are not informed whether oil or either Of
the townships of this county have appointed De-
legases to tho Congressional District Convention
to be held in Cambridge on the Bro day of May.
If it has been neglected, we would suggest the
importance Of immediate action on the part of
the Wings. 1t can mako but little difference
who tho delegates are, tho party has spo-
ken its preference in primary meetings. 1t
would perhaps bo less trouble and more conve-
nient for the Chairman of the Central County
Committee to attend the Convention and give the
vote Of County. The vote Of the county has
been given to Mr.. Smith, and it matters but little
bow that vo,o is again cast in tho convention.

Nauyoo FortlficafiOn.

We learn by gentleman, direct from Nauvoo
says tho Warsaw Signal of the ID April, that
new Revelation has been received IN relation to
the Temple. The work, on that structure, is to
be almost entirely suspended for the present, and
the whole energy of the Saints is to be devoted to
the building of wall or rampant around the edi-
fee. This wall is to enclose SIX acres; the Tenn
plo being in the centre 1t is TO be fourteen feet
high, six fee. thick and composed of solid stone
masonry. The work, on this monument of
folly, has been already commenced and hundreds
of hands employed in carrying it forward.
The Philosophy Of tho matter, in opinion
adds the Signal. is this. The Temple beng near
ly finished it was concluded by the leaders that
unless they had some new enterprise by which
to gull the Saints out of tholr money, they would
be without pretext for swindng thcm,
and therefore they have commenced this work,
and have told their dupes that the Lord will not
appear in his glory until this rampant is finished;
for it is the will of the Lord. that il shall be com
pleted before the Temple.
+ The Signal asks: Will the poor deluded follow
ers of those Mormon leaders suffer themselves
longer to be imposed on by these shallow pre-
tenccs? If they will, there is hope of re-
claiming them from their insane fanaticlsm.
The Temple has been but gull trap, where
with to cheat tho honest out Of their subsistence.
for the benefit of the leaders. There has been
at least ono million of dollars donated for the c.
rection of that ediice, while fifty thousand
would have advanced it far towards compile
ton it Is. OF the tens of thousands. that
have been collected abroad, we do not believe one
dollar has been appropriated to the building. All
that has been dono has been dono by the ,ithing
labor Of the poor dupes in and about Nauvoo.-
