Berlin. L he Elitor, MI OutsIlus, was
opposed to the priacip,e upon which the
Subscription is made, but since it is made
he submits to it as he does to any other
Law which he does not approve, and alb
hors the foul hcresy of REPUTATION. In
the following he eff.ctually exposes those
would-be party leaders, who-after aiding
and abetting the making of the Subscrip-
ton, are traitcrou>ly cndeayoring to make
party capital out of it.l
Inconsistency.
Some Of the Democrats Of Union county
are pursuing very inconsistent course,
which is not honorable. Mr.. Slenker at
tended some OF the Railroad meetings last
winter, which were held in our town, and
was familiar with the project to get sub
scription of our county to the Susquehanna
Railroad He was present at meeting,
where we opposed the proceedings intro
duced mainly by his party friends, and
was supported by every Democrat and
Wing in the meeting except our humble
self. 1t is true Mr.. Slenker said nothing
in the meeting, and that is the fault we
find with him for he had a right to speak
rs it was a meeting of the citizens Of New
Berlin and vicinity. As he remained 81
lent in the meeting when the project was
up to request the Commissioners TO make
subscription to the Susquehanna Rail
road, the laeetiug had right to believe
that Mr.. 5. was in favor that the Com mis-
sioner. should :uake the subscription to the
Railroad, as it is always understood that
silence gives consent If Mr.. S is hon
sstly opposed to tn. subscri ption, then he
has utterly failyd to act the part Of con-
sistent man. lie should have went in
With Us, and opposed the project, at the
rrTr time, before The subscription was

II a1p.-.l &, TIA s.tisfaction of an honest
and in.e-.geE, p,oula 20 make it harmon
lzs with mis- conduct since the subscription
is made. SIS object is too plain to be
misunderstood he laid low until the sub.
scripticn was made, no doubt with the OBJ
ject to make political capital for himself
and his party, by injuring Gen. Scott's
esctio2 in our county. We hope the
honest Wings in our county will not be
deceived by Mr., S, and such other Dem
Ocrat, who aided and assisted to induce the
Commissioners to make the subscription.
We ask the Wings to examine into the
conduct of the Democrats, who are so loud
in their denunciation. of the subscription,
and you can readily ascertain the cloyen
foot in their underhandsd game.
We will now relate some of the gross
Inconsistencies of the Democrats who arc
the loudest in their denunciations against
the Whig. who We're in favor of the law
and subscription. Yes, fellow Wings,
these very Democrats are applauding Gov.
Blgler as the great champion of the tax
payers rights and are denouncing Col.
Siifer, in the btterest terms, because the
law was passed and Col. Slifer was men,
Der Of the Senate. Notwithstanding these
Democrats know the fact that Gov. Bigler
is the author of the law to authorize the
several County Commissioners to make
subscriptions to the Susquehanns Railroad
Company, "to mortgage the peoples prop
erty," according to the doctrine of Slenk-
er and those who have Joined him to make
political capital for their candidates for
President, Congress, and Representative
As the Democrats assisted to induce the
Commissioners to subscribe, We hope and
trust no honest Wing will have anything
to do with those Democratic trimmers
We ask the Wings to bear in mind that
the Democrats passed the law, and that
they were the men who called the meetings
In our town, and prepared the proceedings
to request the Commissioners to subscribe
the two hundred thousand dollars.
1t is true, at the Anti Railroad meeting
IN New Berlin on the 31st of July last,
there was resolution passed, denouncing
the 1o'erner; this was accomplished by
the Wings and the honest Democrats
against the will of those political trmm ers
Prior to that meeting, and since, not one
word has been said by these designing
