We have within The last week received a
number OF communications from different parts
of The Safe, urging the necessity Of anolher
eubernatoraI candidate in The field, as The forced
nomination of Henry A. MuhIenberg will not
go down with The hard listed and honest portion
of the Democracy of Pennsylvania. Mullen
berg will do for pop-Suekers, bank aristocraIs,
an'l-school, or rather anl-equa rights parry.
/ From The communications In our possession
and number Of them written by men who
have never swerved from their principles or
their duty, when honestly required, we are full
well convinced that II. A. Muhlenberg can new
er be the Governor of the party. We sueges-
Ted in former number, The holding of Con-
ven'ion on the 4lh of July next, we there gave
our reasons We have conceded, on all ucca-
sions, the righ, 10 Western Pennsylvania 10
have The candidate for Governor aud we are

own choice. We have several names that have
been suggested 10 us by Western Democrats.
| and we to-day publish communication, setting
forth The claims Of one of the citizens Of the
Star of The West, Michael Meyers. Esq. the
honest farmer of Westmoreland county. The
writer of it is one of the oldest Democrats in
Pennsylvania, man who has filed high places,
and in whom there is no guile !; with il we re-
ceived large addition Of subscribers, all with
the ready cash We ask that serious perusal
for it that the emergency of The case requires.

Henry A. Muhlenberg and his friends broke
down the Democratic party in 1885, and boast.
ed of it. They come forward now and impu-
DENLY thrust him upon the party, treating with
contempt the popular will, and adopting their
motto rule or ruin. When The election shall
come and The good old Democratic party shall
be torn into fragments, then lie, them take the
responsibility.

THE MONEY PowER.-In the late Democrat
ic Convention, of all the candidates proposed
for nomination Mr. Muhlenberg had The great
est weallh indeed all the other candidates are
comparatively poor and believe that Mr.. NJ
could easily buy them all, Bell, Sturgeon
Skunk EIdred, &C., and no doubt his wealth
did in grea, measure procure his nomination
but we can tell Mr.. NJ. that all his money
and all the money of his Middletown and Berks
County Banks, at his back, cannot secure his
eleclion-poli,icians and Office hunters, cash
iers and bank Directors may nominate, but il re

that every press in Pennsylvania which has
been opposed TO Muhlenberg and whose editor
is conscientious in his opposition, will be bought
out, IAN editor may honestly sell out, for print
ing paper is not profitable business in gen.
eral,) and then i, will be proclaimed that the
paper has come out for Muhlenberg. And
having bought up all or nearly all the Demo
cratic presses in order TO snfe opposition in
their ranks, they will then turn their attention
10 as common people. And for elecIioneerng
purposes we may expect plenty of promises Of
offices and money 100 will flare ike oil spilled
upon water. The leading politicians in the va
rous counties will be supplied with cash, and
TO many an honest Democrat the county will be
offered. Bu, it will not avail; for Mr.. Muhlen-
berg with all his train OF banks, cashiers, bank
directors, and money too, can never bun the
unpurchaSeable Democracy of Pennsylvania
A FARMER.

! We asserted and proved The fact some time
since, that Henry A. Muhlenberg and his parlic-
ular friends are opposed to our Common School
System. We have more evidence of the fact,
and will publish part of speech delivered in
the House OF Representatives a few days since,
by Henry U. Smith Of BeIks, who came here
for the purpose of making nomination for Co.
vernon This is The same Smith who led off in
the late convention, in favor of H. A. Mullen
berg, and is now his bosom friend. This is the
same Smith who charged Muhlenberg with be-
ing disorganizer, for attempting union OF
Church and State. for buying up papers, and
for being Jackson man in words and not in
deeds, &c. in 1885. That Berks county is op-
posed 10 our Common Schools is evident from
the fact ,ha, they have drawn annually only a
few thousand dollars, instead of about SIT 900
that they were entitled to as their quota. II
Henry A. Muhlenoerg possesses that influence
his friends pretend he does in Berks and if he
be the friend Of the poor, why not use that in
fuence, aud exercise iha, christian benevol ence
in behalf of The poor laboring man. that his chill.
