Know Nothing Candidate for Sen,

GJOls
The last Republican suggests the name
Of Gen. c. Warfel. Esq. Of this county, as
the Republican (2l candidate for Senator
By whom, and in. what manner was Gen.
warfel nominated? By Convention of
Delegates selected for that purpose2 oh
mol By the popular vote system at open
ballot boxes? MOI He was nominated in
the midnight Councils Of an oath bound Or
der, who assemble when honest people are
in their beds. and plan schemes TO thWart
the will Of the majority, and ensure their
own prelerment. He was nominated in the
seert Council Chambers Of an order whose
operations are laid in the dark. and whose
works when brought before the light Of day,
bring condemnation with exposure. He was
nominated by few leagued together by
horrid oathsl The masses Of the people
knew nothing of the means employed in the
selection, nor of the tine for such selection,
nor Of the result until it was announced in
the columns Of the Know Nothing papers,
and yet, the people are called uponto sup
port this midnight candidate, without know
ing what are his principles, except, unless
indeed. upon the subject of slavery and
Catholics! In order TO throy little light
upon the career Of this Republican candi-
date. and let the peopleinto the knowledge
Of the principles he intends TO advocate, and
measures he win support if elected, we
hope his sdark lantern" majesty, will an.
swer hefoilowing interrogatixes;--
Do you Gen. Warfel, believe that a For.
eigner should reside in this country twenty.
one years, before he is entitled to the right
of citizenship?
Do you Gen. Warfel believe that Catho-
lies should be prescribed on account of then
religious opinions? @
Do you, Gen. warfel, advocate the rights
of the negro as being paramount, or equal
to those Of wliite man born on foreign
soil?
What difference of opinion is there be
tween you and the Democratic party upor
the subject Of Slavery, Taxation and STATE
Reform?
The people would like to hear from goa
Gen. Walfel, upon these subjects, and W.
will take great pleasure in laying your view'
before our readers, at the earliest possible
4 moment, SO that they may vote upon th'
Senatorial question, at least understanding
ly. Let us hear from you!

Jacob Cramblett.

This is the name Of the candidate for
commissioner, on the know nothing, disu.
nion ticket in this county. How he came
to get the nomination, we win try to let
our readers know.
1t is well known that this Mr.. Cramblett
was delegate from Franklin township to
the county convention which nominated him.
That township instructed their delegates to
vote for John T. Cramblett, very worthy
man, rs their candidate for commissioner.
At their township meeting the name Of Ja-
cob Cramblett wss never thought Of as a
candidate for that or any other office. The
delegates were Jacob Cramblett, Henry
Pitts and DR.. John Pitts, ell know moth !.
ings.
When the nomination for commits ioner
came up, Dr. John Pitts, instead Of sugges-
ting the name Of John 7. Cramblett, as be
wasinslrueted to do, gets up and suggests
the name Of Jacob Cramblett one Of the
delegates Of that convention. as candidate.
John z cramblets's name was never men.
TONED. And why9 Because he was not
Q know nothing. Jacob Cramblett Is, and
that y the reason why his name was men
Homeland he received the nomination, Are
such tIicksters as Jacob Cramblest worthy
of the support of honest men for any office2
The unanimons response in this county
will be NO, Or We are very much mistaken.

Demagogues pay heed.

We ask those who are just now making
so much noise "about outrages in Kansas,
and all that kind of thing, to pay heed to
the following from the Kansas Herald of
Freedom, a free soil paper pablished at
Lawrence, Kansas Territory. 1t is edited
by g. w. Brown, formerly Of Pennsylva-
MIA, and the paper is dated, August l8. '55
We give the article in full;
"We fear it is the intention Of politicians
to makeKansas subject for their capital for
the next two years. If so, we are DOOM
ed people, and have greater reason to be
alarmed than we had when the border viii
lains' were encamped in our midst. We
pray the STATESMEN Of the East to save us
the degradation Of serving as the only capi-
tai of Demog0gaes for riding into popular
favor Our humiliation is sufficient already,
without any greater grievances TO complain
Of" g
| Could agreater rebuke be given to those
demagogues who are just now traversing the
State of Ohio, whose continual theme is
Kansas! Kansasl for the sake of riding into
Office on, than is given them in the article
above? Does not the above article show
very plainly that these bugheal stories a.
bout Kansas, il all a humbug? The article
shows another thing very plainly, and that
| is, that such men as Chase y Go. are do
ing more to establish slavery in Kansas,
than all the 'border Williams" that reside in
Missouri. The above appeal is strong and
sympathetic, and we trust that those who
are honestly opposed to making Kansas a
slave State, will pay heed. Those that are
continually hrawlng about Kansas being a
slave State, we do not expect the above ap-
peal to have any effect upon; because they
are at heart in favor of making that 'Eden
of the world'' Slave State. When Kansas
becomes free State, which ii will do, then
they will be like othello, "Lheir occupation
will be gone" Hence their continual eff
forts to make Kansas slave State.
