Dcmocrotic party2 That this will be the

With the pertinacity of special pleaders
they have introduced false issues, for the
purpose of distracting the attention Of the
masses aud to mislead them. 1t is time
DOW that this petty suhterfuge should be ex-
posed. The people should know that it is
paramount TO all things else, that the oppo-
nents to the National Administration should
organize at once. and concentrate their en-
ergies upon the Union ticket, for upon this
hangs the destiny Of political events for
years yet to come To all those who are
really and sincerely opposed to the infamous
outrages perpetrated BY the present admin
istraticn, an excellent opportunity to ex-
press that opposition is presented by the
Union Ticket. This ticket was first given
to the people by Convention composed of
men entertaining various political prefer
enees, and has since been cordially endorsed
by Wings, Republicans and Americans
The adherents of all these parties can unite

"TW0 Truths TO enc Lie,o

Mr.. EDIToR;--I rejoice to inform you
that some of the Locofocos have got to tel
ling two truths to one lie. Mr. Shannon, iu
political speech at WalIerstown, in Union
Township: a few days ago, in slandering
Mr.. Griffith, said that when those children
were lost, Griffith got crazy, and got to
eonjuring, and the witches took him down
TO the South Fork, and he waded into the
water up u under his arms, and said the
children were in the water there some
where that was over waist deep. Mr.. Shan
non puts me in mind Of Sam Hide, an In
dian, who was noted cider jlinker, and
came to certain farmer every day for ei-
der, and at last the farmer got tired of it;
so Sam came again one day for elder, and
the farmer told him that he could not give
him any, and the Indian found that he
could got no cider except be couly lie him
ont of it, tthe way it's With the Locofoco
partly SO he hesitated awhile, and said that
he had shot deer, not half mile from the
farmers house, aud if be would give
him dollar, he would Tell hin #here
It was: the farmer said be would not
do thar. but lie would give him
shilling. '.Well," said Sam, as he was
very dry, s'if you give me shilling and a
mug Of cider, will tell you where it is"
So he gave him the shilling and the cider,
aud when he had drank the cider, be said:
..You know that little meadow down yon-
derl' "Yes.n 'sYou know a big ash
tree?' .sYes." "We!l, behin.l that tree
lies fhedeer . After Sam was gone the
farmer went to get the doer, and found the
meadow aud the tree, but found no deer,
and he was very much displeased, but Sam
was gone, and be Nigh. as well hunt the
deer as to hunt Sam: SO be went home, and
sometime afterwards he met Sam and began
to upraid him for telling him such lie; 50
Sam said, "you would not find fault with
Indian if he tell you truth half the time .
lie said no. "WeIl," said Sam, did you
not find the -nieadow7n ssYes." 'Did you
not End treea' @Yes,' said the farmer
ssThen," said the Indian, show can you find
fault with Sam if he tell two truth to one
lies" So it is with Mr.. Shannon. There
was man conjuring and wad;ng in the wa
ter, aud saying the children were there, and
his name was Griffith but ii did not hap
pen to be WIN. Griffith, and Mr.. Shannon
forgot 10 tell that it was Mr.. Griffith, a
leading Locofoco of Bedford township.

The assaults ON Jackson.

The venonous assaults upon the fair fame
of Jackson, BY the Buchanan men, continue
undated Thus, the Louisville Caurier, a
leading Buchanan print in Kentucky, says /.
"a private letter written By jackson III
1915, just before lis death, nieanly villify-
ing Buchanan charging him with eowardice
and falsehood, is shameless.y dragged forth
to degrade Buchanan. The infsmy Of the
affair rests upon jackson for writing this
letter, and next upon those who have brought
it to light for political effect now for the
first time. They WHO cheap approbrum
mountain high upon the grave of jackson, T
are they who have dishonored him and de-
graded themselves by publishing the unfor-
tunate private letter of the insanely Sindi-
eitiye old tyrant, who IN this very letter,
proved that, to the last, no touch of jns:icc
or magnanimiiy towards am opponent or
rival ever entered his breast, and that his
only use for friends was TO make tools of
them. Ii Buchanan had in 1927, instead Of
faithful testimony, as he did, eerrobarated
Jackson's charges against Clay, Jackson
never would have written his Infamous secret
letter Of Is45. We believe that history
conviets jackson OF sladciing Clay, and then
conyicts him Of slanaering Buchanan be-
cause he would not perjure himself BY sup
porting the SANDER against CLAY
Has the old hero no friends left among
his many adherents of former daysa If he
has, it is meet tia; they should know Of bis
determined eEor, " blast his reputation By
shifting upon him the infamy fairly earned
by Buchanan.

Mr. BUcHANAN's VISIT TO BEDFoDp.
"A correspondent Of the Baltimore Patriot
visitor at Caledonian Springs, Adams
county, in letter from that place, dated
the 18th instant, says:
aA gentleman arrived here yesterday
from Bedford. He was there when Mr..
Suchanan arrived, aud describes the occa-
sion as prolific in uaerrimcnt. Prior to his
coming, whilst all were in expectancy, Ma
jor Watson, familiarly known parsonage
of that locality, thoaght he would produce
some innocent amusement. lie according
ly gave out that the Cincinnati Platform
would make his aFrearenee on a certain
evening. Acting in concert with several
friends, who were in the secret, the Major
procured carriage, a band Of music, flags,
banners, aud otLer paraphernalia. lie drove
out some distance, and returned about the
expected hour. Music was sounded, and
banners flung to the breeze, as the carriage
approached 1t stopped, and an elderly in
mate, procured for the purpose, got out. :
The Major introduced him to the anxious
crowd as Mr.. buchanan. Shouts went IN
rending the air, hands were shaken, con-
gratulatiious interchanged until keen
sighted gentlemau Of Baltimore discovered,
to the dismay OF all present, that it was not
Mr.. Buchanan, but gross fraud-a pla-
gairisn upon the Cincinnati Platform, Eu-
tbusiasm cooled down and didnot rise again
for when the em bodiment Of Democracy
did come, De was escorted by a committee
constituted Of Que old line Wing and two
Know -Nothings.
