OcFWo were told by the Wing oralor
that welcomed the Curwensyille delcpa,
ton last Tuesday night, that Gov. Biglcr's
decreased vote in this county was not oc.
oosioned altogether by Know Nohingism
but that the people Of this county had "ro.
jecled' him because he, and his friend.
for him, in 1851, had promised to procure
an appropriation to clean outtho raft chan.
mel Of The Susquehanno in case his elec.
lion,
Now, this is simply not true. Governor
Biger, so far as we remember, never made
any "Promse" or "pledgo" to that effect.
But some of his friends did promise that in
case Of his election, he, knowing the Justice
OF the demand, and having a very natural
interest in the matter, would exert his in.
fuenco in favor Of such an appropriation,
and would urge its Importance upon the
attention Of the legislature, THIS pledge
lgaS fully redeemed. Coy. Bigler recon-.
mended the subject 10 the Legislature in
the strongest forms, we think in both his
annual messages, bot certainly in his last.
Not only 50, but an appropriation agas &C.
tually made, and the money properly OK.
pended. No one can plead ignorance Of
this fact, for it will be found in the Gov
ernor's message Of january last, and il is
to be presumed that Wing orators should
at least know its contents. The people of
ibis county cannot have forgotten il, as we
re.published that portion of his message
in the Republican in July last. So much
for this false aretence. r
The second assignment is, that he and
his friends promised to favor the erection
OfPine County, and that the violation Of
ibls promise accounts for the large vote
against him in Burnside township. We
know that this accusation was extensively
used in that section but it was equally as
false and unfounded as the other, and both
as much so as they could be.E Neither
Gov. Bigler, nor any ofhis friends, made
any promise OH this subject that was not
strictly kept, and from that day 10 this, we
have never heard one word spoken against
the erection Of Pine county by any citizen
Of our county residing outside of the lin.
It's Of the proposed new county. On the
contrary, we know that Gov. Bigler was
one Of the earliest friends Of that measure,
and has remained so up TO this time, and
although the charge Of unfaithfuness had

lions of the Know Nothings of that section,
yet ii was by no act of his, or that of any
of his friends. When the people of that
Popnlous ndthriving section of our county
discover how grossly they have been de.
ceived and imposed upon, and made to
turn against their best friend, certain
would.be great men will be brought 10 a
fearful reckoning.

RssOlued, that we accept the issue thrust up
on US by the slave power, contrary to our will,
and IN defense Of Freedom will cooperate with
all who ore pledged to the accomplishment Of
the following purposes TO bring the admin
istration of the Government back to first prin-

Slave States into the Union; to exclude slavery

ResOlved, that the issue must now be made
between extension or non-extension of slavery,
unless the people Of the States are prepared to
submit to still greater indignities and encrosch'
ments by the purchase of Cuba for the express
purpose of preventing emancipation IN the Is.
land and strengthening the slave oligarchy in
the United States, by crushing the authority o.
the State Judiciary and lastly, by the revival

trade, which is advocated by the Southern

the outrage, yet sustain an administration
through whose agency the slave power accom-
plished its purpose.
Resolved, that the Public Lands OF the Uni
