TsaE COUNTY TICKET.

in Coi0mtia BY Majorilies from 100 10 500.
iteler's nsioi'y will be the largest, Lee
will have sscs, 500, and Eyerly will per-
hsPs have more shan 400. The con,es, has
been one Of the most violent that has taken
place 10 many years, and the desperate and
reckless guerillas carried their jisorganiza-
lion 10 the most dishonorable extent.
Throughout the campaign the most base de
cep.ion was attempted TO be prac,isee upon
the people, and the most glaring falsehood
nnhlushinssy selched cut. This crusade a.
eainsi the ticket q. last Cell wholly into the
hands Of men whose only weapon Is low
scurriliiy and who having no private char.
soser themselves, feel only malice and env y
toward any man who has. For the black
guard and fowdy know nothing Of The pro.
prisiies of life which hold personal charac :
ter ~ thing Of sacred valus; and false .
hood is TO such the same as 1uth--if !
AeSses their end.
& Il was Only because the better moral sense
,oi the commonny revol,sd at this foul desc.
Grafton Of oil decsncy, and satisfy to the
propfieiies Of life-this trade in filth and be-
spaitsfing with mire-thM we 6ad the res
ul, - /, is. For unfortunately th,s thing
came from men who call themselves Demo-
Gratis, and from those who are as destitute of
political as of personal character
Erst the people were to be deceived by
me falsehood that Mr.. Clark was not a
Know Nothing, while dozens Of our citizens
bad seen him goin and come out Of the
lodge.
Next we were TO be houLIed down for
daring to v;aiicale ouf political principles in
an open aud free manner. Blu, this Is an
old game, and falsehocd should have tried
some story, which we could no, a, any time
call so many hundre witnesses 10 contra
dict. For the hundreds who :hree years a.
90 week after week read what we wrote,
and day after day heard wha, we said al
public meetings, will scorn as il deserves the
fabrication about our opposition TO the ticket
Of tina, year. That story served its day in
secret for the mischevous purposes OF those
who found heretofore they could not use Us
10 serve their base designs.
Party feeling was Invoked among Wings
who were too honorable TO go for the guer-
silla ticket; and such were told that 1t was
necessary TO crush US in order TO put down
she s.Loeo Focon party, for that Il it had not
been for our press Know Nothingism would
have mel with no exposure or opposition in
this county. We appreciate such compli-
ments, and il they had not been started by
disappointed and recseant Democrats ia a
spirit OF malice and envy 10 injure us, We
would be thankful for il. Our political posi-
tion has noi been time serving, but fearless
and open; and while we would wound no
honorable political opponent by any lack Of
fairness or courtesy, we feel that we have
done our duty to our owa honest convic.
tions Of right.
One week il was admitted that Clark and
Grotz were Know Mornings, and the next
Clarke denial was again republishej.
To injure US. the lie was then started tha,
we had offered to join the Know Noihings a,
Philadelphia. at time which was Sunday
and when we were IN Bioomsburg--and
after we had for eight successive weeks
publicly and openly declared ourselves op.
posed TO the principles Of the order.
The neat faisehood was that our hands
worked with closed doors. A dozen per-
sons who were in il during all working
hours, and the hants themselves stamp this
lie rs il deserves.
To others Il was said the discontinue OF
Mr.. Buckalew was our object. Now during
his residence here we have every year taken
an aefiUe part in the politics OF tn county.
and In every instance to serve his interest,
ndihs success Of Democratic principles
We have year alter year urged our friends
in hts favor, as hundreds can testify aud
have never counted the cost to ourselves Of
standing out TO shield and defend him., Ell.
ther as delegate 10 State conventions in the
local question, or as Senator. As .aie as
only las, week we took pleasure in calling
attention TO beautiful vindicalion OF him
made by his friend al Wikesbarre, and re-
gTe.,sd the delay we had 10 await 10 giving
ito our readers.
Then !: was falsely asserted ,ha, our OBJ.
ject was the defes, Of Mr.. Eyerly. Tia,
gentleman himself best knows who saved
him with the ticket, and he will never re-
pfoach Us. But the public should know; as
he does only too we'll, where the di.organl.
zers did their work. The following Is a
copy Ct the tickets which were printed By
Tale. and of which he gave whole rolls clo-
sed ur 10 Mr. MendenhalIio be carried over
the river for distribution. From this the
people can see who among the Democrats
tried to defeat Mr. Eyeriy, and also how
much of the ticket there gueuillas support.
ed, II win be observed that the ticket be.
gins with The Democratic State nominations
and ends with Mf. Yeager's name, so as "a
deceive Democrats !:
s'a GOVERNOR.
William Bigler.
