MR.. PLUMER'S ACCEPTANCE.
] The Hon. Arnold Plumer has addressed the fol-
lowing letter 10 the Democratic State Central Com
unitee, accepting the nomination for Canal Commis
sioner. The letter is Enthusiastically frank and
manly:
SlR:-Having received the nomination for the
Office of Canal Commissioner, from the Democratic
State Convention, assembled at Harrisburg on the ti
inst, and said Convention having passed the following
resolutions:
Resofred, That the candidates FOR nomination for
Canal Commissioner be severally pledged that they
are a the present time, members OIL or IN any
way connected with, any political associations;
that they will not become connected with Snch as
sociation, nominated any time prior 10 the elec-
tioa, nor, office; and that the nominee OF the con-
ventiou shall give 10 the State Central Committee
pledge which they shall pfescribe n relation to the
subject of Known Nothngism, and that if he decline
to take such pledge The State Central Committee
authorized to make nomination IN his stead,
il affords me pleasure hereby TO pledge myself TO
the State Central Committee, that 1 not at the
present time, have been at any time, connected
with any secret political organization association
Nor viii become connected with any such organi-
cation at any time prior TO the elections nor II elect
| ed, during my continuance III ofIce
This pledge is given in the language a the reso-
| luton OF the State Convention, and IN the form pre-
scribed by the State Central Committee; but | de-
sire further TO state to that Committee and through
! them to the voters of the Commonwealth, that
ect in the most unqualified terms the doctrines OF
/ the Know Nothing party, so far as they have not
been taken from, aud do not conform to- the avowed
principles the Democratic party they being other
wise anti-Republcan and anita american. As clti-
zen OF the United States, a Pennsylvania, pro-
Tossing 10 be governed BY the Constitution OF my
country, and liberal Christian principles could not
subscribe and soemniy take the oath required OF me
upon assuming the office OF Canal Commissioner, 'sto
support the Constitution of Pennsylvania and the
Constitution Of the United Sates, If had taken
oath or other obligation binding myself 10 reject tbs
claims Of any American citizen for office, account
Of his igous belief the place OF his BIRTH such
tests being expressly forbidden by both OF those
| cred instruments.
From the principles involved in the approaching
election, deem it the most important which the De-
mocracy have been called upon TO participate IN for
many years. To be the chosen standard bearer Of
the party in such contest, high honor, for hlch
shalt ever be grateful. Truly yonrs,
ARNOLD PLUMER.

kN0W-NOTMSG TICKET.

ed al a late hour las; evening, after tedious session.
The following ticket officially determined npon
to be supported by that party at the next election:
Assembly,. s. Stumbaugh, James Lowe.
Treasurer-Up;on Washabaush.
COMMISSIONER. Allison Eyster.
j Authoritarian Burkhoder.
Director Of the Poor.-Hezekiah Easton
THIS is a sort of a Kangaroo tcket--its main
strength being It's hind legs If il had been heaea
by such Hezekiah Easton instead OF bro
ken-winded Democratic office hunter ii would have
inspired a reasonable degree of respect and COM
/ manded a respectable support but using such name
as flyer to such political kite tha: put
up by f. S. Stunbangh IS taking good wares to
shockingy bad market. As predicted, the bo-
rough OF Chambersbnrg has carried off everything
worth having, and the slices have been given
TO inveterate old Democratic nags, who on Dem
cratic tickets until the party refused TO break down
with them any longer-both the candidate for 1rea-
snrer and the Democratic halfof the Assembly ticket
having been turned out Of the Democ ratio Convention
no later than last fall. The balance OF the ticket is
all located in Peters township the rest, in the estpa
lion OF the KnowNoihing party, not worth even the
honor of representation the ticket though there
candidates for nomination froS nearly if not
| every township IN the county.
| Good for Chauaersburg and peter@ghd particular
" good for the cast of lumber of the Democracy
Bnt then there is to be an electon-theres the 1ttb
| If ever the Know Nohnss had chance Of carrying
this county with secret, intolerant policy, they
have fooled il away by making the party the
/ creature OF few designing men, wRQ chalked out
Offices for themselves six months ago and strong as
| may be its flying appendages, when its head and
| shoulders are lost It won't matter muc bow many
limbs may be remaining. We would advise the Peters
gentlemen TO decline and give CGSmbersburg the
! whole ticket, they all once Wings and
should be somewhat particular about their company.
1t would be bad enough under any circumstances 10
be beaten but to be turned peA NELL overheard with
others whose disgrace has given power and fatality
TO the stroke Is an entertainment we sheuld not rel
ish. No human agency--no aaths nor DEGREES, can
elect +. S. Stumbaugh to the Legislature and those
who adhere 10 him and sanction his vain pretensons,
cannot well escape the reDue his petty shiftngs and
low intrgnes mnst secure from the people OF the old
screen Spot Those whe wise will STAND
From UNDER.
