| Wiiamsport Convention, of ]. Porter Brawley
of this county, for the office of Surveyor General
with feelings of the most profound regret-and ir
mass meeting assembled on the anniversary of the
day that gave birth to nation of freemen, declare
that we will not vote for him.
Resolved, That this mans nomination has beer
urged in a vindictive spirit, and procured by 9
system of management, upon the part of a low
set of political cut ihroats, in this Congressiona
district, who glory defeating the wishes OF the
party in this county, who are ready to embrace
any "black Leg practically and politically. whom
they can use for disorganization in high places,
and who will talk Indian to procure for them plum
der
Resolved, That we will 60 into the convention
and make one more effort to save Crawford from
going into permanent minority, and we appeal
to our friends to send their best men. II that con-
vention attempts to endorse Brawley, we will not
be held accountable for the result in October.
Resolved, That under the dictatorship OF James
E. Mcfarland, the Democratic party never
triumph. Had he represented public sentiment
fairly in Crawford county, Brawey would not
have been nominated but in order to crafty a
heart naturally malignant and constitulionaly sell
fish, this heavy calamity had fallen upon the
Democratic party the continued eulogy in the
organ Of men known by the whole cuon,y to be
corrupt, and the constant defamation of those
whom he can in no other way whip, is calculated
to chill and repulse from active service most
homes, Democrats and useful partizan.
Resolved, That any man who has barely es-
capped conviction, and that totally upon technical
ground, on indictment for violation of the eIec
tion laws, to procure for himself an election to
lucrative office, at the expense Of one honestly
nominated and running upon the same ticket, and
for conspiring with federal editor to sell, under
,ortttsn contract Democratic patronage, years in
if he gets knocked do,on by decent
man, should take it as compliment rather than
and the Democratic party, in order to
be successful, must not through their organ, be
made party to his personal fights. Should they
not disown them, they too will be whipped.
Resolved, That we respectfully, yet earnestly
demand an insertion Of our grievances in the Dem
ocratic papers Of the county. II they continue to
exercise a censorship over our voices, they shall
not over our rOtes and ifthe Democratic conven.
lion which shall assemble in August, will not con-
1emn the wrong inflicted upon US by our common
leaders, we will condemn them ourselves at the
Ballot box.
