WASHINGTON, aug. II, IOo''
EDIToRs TELEGRAPH Il take this oc-
casion to caution the people of Pennsyi-
vana against the corrupt schemes OF the
wire workers at the seat of Government
to carry the State. 1t may not be known
to you that money is being raised here IN
large amounts by the leaders of the Bor-
der Ruilian party, which is to be app:o-
priated in those Free States where they
think they have any chance for show,
and the keystone particularly is to be
cared for. A Club has been formed here
composed Of the Office holders from Penn
sylyania, and every man is compelled to
pay the fee of admission, which ranges
from $50 to 500; and what is more,
each recipient of official favor is compelled
to Join the Club, pay the fee, and and IN
sending off documents with might ami
main, or be turned out. What Is true OF
PENNSYLVANIA Office holders here is true
also of those belonging to other States
Black mail is levied upon them all by
their superiors in Office and wo to the
poor wight who refuses to aid IN this H.
glorious work
Among the documents which are being
scattered broad cast through PennsyiVa-
MIA and other Free States is one entitled
-" Fren,ont-Hs Supporters, and the"
Record" by an Indianian." This doeu-
ment is one of the most infamous TRADES
-the most scandalous tissue Of falschoods
that ever came from the press. l wonder
that the very type and paper did not pro-
test against being used for such hclIish
purpose. 1t is composed of what purportS
to be extracts from the speeches and wri'
ting of individuals, all Of whom are set
down as Republicans-GARRIsoN, FAR
KER. FosrER and others, who have uttered
disunion sentiments. and these persons
and the sentiments they utter ascrlbed to
. the Republican party. 1t charges, zoo,
, sentiments upon leading Republicans
which were never entertained or uttered,
, For example, on page four We have the
/ following:
In preservation Of the "rights Of the
a., States" Joshua Il. Giddings, in the
House Of Representatives, in Nay said;
a look forward to the day when there
, shall be a servile insuIrcction in the
4 South; when the black man, armed will
;. British bayouets, and commanded by Brl
;, ,ish officers, shall wage war OF ezterml'
). nation against the white man: when thc
e master Shall see his dwelling in flames
and hearth stone p1hatcd; ; and, though
i nav not mock at their calamity, nor laugt
S when their fear cometh, yet shall | hal
e j, as thu, GAVIN Of .nolitical millennium.
OF The IeDnsylvania papers with other
G of like character, and am authorized b,
: Mr.. GIDDINGs to pronounce it totally anC
J absolutely false from first to last-a ri
gantic lie, and branded by him as sucI
long since. When the Oregon question
was before Congress in 1916, he made a
. speech which VIII be found in an edition
/ of his speeches published BY DEWITT &
Co, Boston, on page $50, wherein he
charged that the South, after acquiring
Texas for Slavery, backed out of their
claim to the 'choie Of Oregon, for fear of
British bayonets and bringing down upon
themselves the black regiments Of the
: West India Islands. He said, "they,
(the South saw in prospec. their slaves
locking to the cnemy's standard, insur-
rections tormcnting their Imagination; ra-
pine, blood and murder dance before their
affrlghted visions and, though he was
opposed TO a servile insurrection, there
'rere thousands who would laugh at their
calamity, and mock when their fear
cometh."
This is what the pamphlet scrap is
made ou. of, and if the balance of the
quotations charging disunion sentiments
upon Republicans were traced out they
would be found equally false and Infamous.
! 10 charge that GARRISON and his crew
j "AS tudt tHclT
as quoted in the document in question,
are to be ascribcd to Fremont or the Re
publican party, is simply ridiculous. No
one but an srrant knave or fool would
make such a charge when the fact is no.
torlous that GARRISON and his papers.
two weeks since, gave their reasons for
opposing Fremont and prefering BucuAN-
ANS election, simply because the election
of the first would strengthen the Union
and the election of the latter lead to its
dissolution.-HarrisJnry T1cpaph.
