The above is the language of a leading

This they have been taking lessons Governor

The slandering scribblers in the Visitor

charging him with being poor man, a

OF all that pure and good in the community They

utterng their anderous sehoods against the candidates
of the Wing party they must also ylf and abuse

the public candidates for Office This conduct has all
ways been reprobated by honorable but what

are no such words in any language they speak write
lis there any use in replying their BLACKBOARD slang
Can the Wings of good old Somerset be gulled by fellows
whom they have known lsicrs and calumniaors for
years Can they forget that in the year 1885, when the
good and amented Harrison was candidate for Presi-
dent some of these insuted him and his host
of friends in this county by hanging PETTICOAr up
at the very Office in which this Loco Foco paper is
now printed? When the Wings of Somerset county
know these men as they do, caution is unnecessary.

"Good morning sir, here comes the news,

''Some folks last night wore out their old shoes
''If they had new sncs they d be glad.'

Mr.. Editor,-In riding through Allie
gheny township the other day, / met the
old loco foco federal lawyer, riding thro'
that part Of the county, circulating papers
and documents abusive of the lawyers
] thought it strange, that one who was ad-
mitted to the bar at his advanced age, and
who ought TO love his profession, ii we
may Judge from his anxiety to get into il,
should be engaged in traducing that pro-
fession; but when ! recollected that he
was not lawyer enough TO hurt him, |
ceased 10 wonder, at his attempts to bring
the more prominent members of that pro-
fession down to his own level.
ltwas amusing TO witness his efforts to
degrade his own calling, and reminded me
of the fable Esop tells, about the ass CO.
vcring himself with the lions skin. The
skin covered him tolerably well, but his
ears betrayed his origin. BEN.

FRANCIS R. SKUNK.

The people should bear in mind, that
this man, who is the Loco Foco candidate
for Governor, helped Polk to swindle the
people Of this State into the belief that
Polk was in favor of the Tariff Of 1S42,
and that as soon as he was elected Presi-
dent he destroyed that Tariff.
They should not forget, that the Wings
are in favor of establishing iron, woolen
and cotton manufactures all over the
State, so that the farmers can sell all they
raise. for high prices at home; and that
Skunk by vetoing bills for the incorpora-
ton of companies to build and carry on
such establishments has done more to pre-
vent the erection of Furnaces, Forges,
Rolling Mills, and Cotton Manufactures,
than any man in the State, and has been
the means of causing many capitalists to
send their money out of the State, to in
vest il in manufactures in other States,
thus making our own State poorer and en-
riching the other States. The whole of
his acts as Governor have tended to the
injury Of the farming community, by des-
troying the home market.
1t should not be forgotten tha! he has
already received more than 10000
dollars of the peoples money as an Of
fee holder and has never been of any be-
nefit to the State. He got ONE HUN
DRIED AND FIFTY DOLLARS FOR
ACTING AS CLERK FOR FIVE
DAYSi!!!i
Don't forget, too, that Skunk is one Of
the party, who plunged this country into
the present war with Mexico. A WAR
THAT HAS COST ONE HUNDRED
AND SIXTY SEVEN MILLIONS OF
DOLLARS, and that has SLAUGHTER
ED FROM FIFTEEN TO TWENTY
THOUSAND AME RICAN CITI-
ZENS who have fallen victims to the
bloodthirstiness OF such men as Polk and
Skunk.
Taxpayers of Somerset county! think
that you will have to foot this bill-you
will have to bear the cost Of this Polk and
Skunk war. Bear it in mind, and 60 to
the polls and do your share in turning
such men out of Office

LOC0rOCO EXPLOSION |!
Many leading Locofocos deserving
Shink. and supporting frvin ~


We are happy to announce 10 our
friends that there has been great blow
up among the Locos in several parts OF
the State, which cannot but result in the
election Of our candidates. So utterly
corrupt and rotten has Locofocoism be-
come, that it is sumbling to pieces
Scores and hundreds of the honest por-
ton of the party have come out and de-
nounced Skunk; and determined to vote
for Irwin
Ex-Governor Porter, Senator Gamer
on, Col. Seth Salisbury of Bradlord.co
ty, late Locofoco Marshall Of Western
Pennsylvania. Henry Sprigman, Esq,
of Harrisburg, late Loeofoco candidate
for Assembly, and many sothers. have
been for some time ont against Skunk,
the old beggar of Harrisburg. In Berks
county the personal friends of the late
Henry A. Muhlenberg are determined to
revenge the insults offered to their late
friend by Skunk and his friends. They
and the Taylor Democrats of Berks have
nominated full ticket in opposition to
the Polk and Skunk ticket, and will no
doubt defeat the Locofoco ticket. Some
three or four papers hitherto loco have
hauled down the Skunk flag. and last of
all we hear from credible source that
the Hon. John Snyder, Of Union county,
late member Of Congress, and son ofthas
sterling old Democrat Gov Simon Sny-
der, has utterly denounced Pelkism and
Shunkism and will go for Irwin and Pat
ton. Huzza! for the downfall ofLoco-
focoism. Turn out then, we frosty sons Of
Somerset, on Tuesday, and by your vote
give it deadly stab. By electing Irwin
and Patton this fall we will give it the
fits, and with old Rough and Ready in
lS4s we-will consign its remains to the
tomb, .'unwep:, unhonored, and unsung.'

Skunk dies Hard.

Skunk dies Hard.
Old Skunk, the Office holder of half a
century, the old pensioner upon the State
Treasury, feels now somewhat like a
child about to be weaned. The more he
sucks, the sweeter the teat becomes and
the harder to give itup-but the pap must
De taken from him. Turn him out, is
the word. Remove the old fixture from
the public building, and we trust the State
can get along withou,is. Bo6Is..

Freemen, Remember!

Ereemem, ReIMel1DCE
Freemen, when you go to the polls re-
memember that if you vote for Skunk and
Longstreth, you thereby sanction the fol-
lowing:
l. A war debt Of several hundred
millions and the killing of some 10000
Of your countrymen, to crafty James K.
Polk and extend the curse of slavery.
2. A State debt of forty millions and
heavy State tax.
3. The system Of plundering which
has been carried on for years on the pub
lie works by the Locos.
Ifyou are opposed to the foregoing
measures then vote for IRWIN and PAT
TON and the whole Wing ticketr
