SOMERSET COUNTY

We find in the proceedings of the Amer
lean Republican County Convention which
assembled in Somerset on the 22d inst, the
following Resolution. 1t will be seen that
Henry G. Stewart has been nominated on
the part of that County for the Legislature
for this District. lie will receive the en-
tire vote of the party in this County They
have also instructed for Genl. Yvm. H..
Koontz, for Senator. tits needless for us
to say anything in his praise, as he is we'll
known in Bedford County, aud our people
will go their whole strength for him if he
receives the nomination
ResoLoed. That as Gen. Wm II. Koontz.
has received the unanimous vote for State
Senator, that in accordance with our preYi-
o1s custom he be and is hereby empowered
to appoint three Conferees, to meet like
number from each OF the Counties of Bed
ford and Huntingdon, to put in nomination
candidate for State Senator.
ReSolred, ioasmuch as by the late Ap-
portionment Bill, the counties of Bedford
and Somerset are placed in one district and
empowered to elect two members of the Leg
islature, and as Henry G. Stewart has re-
ceived the highest number of votes in this
County for that Office, that he, and the per-
son nominated by the Bedford County Con-
vention, be placed upon the ticket as the
party nominees for the Legislature.

GREAT AMERICAN REPUBLICAN
VICTORY!
SALE OFTHE MAIN LINE!
Piunderers, XOur Occupation IL
Gone

On Thursday evening Of last week,
was the time fixed by the Governor, for
the Sale of the Main Line of our Public
Works, according 10 the provisions of the
act of last winter. The Pennsylvania Rail
Road Company was the purchaser for
81 SOC, 900, and had it not been for the
opposition Of the Locofoco party and the
decision of the Supreme Court, they would
have brought 81 100000 more. Bat as it
is, the suffering tax payers have cause for
rejoicing. The system of wholesale plum
dering will now be stopped, the money de-
rived by their sale will be appropriated to
the payment Of the public debt, and our
taxes will be lowered, and we will not be
compelled to pay annually, hundreds of
thousands, to keep, them up, and set of
the most unpriucipled robbing and thieving
ottce-holders that ever cursed any COM
munity, in. office.
This sale is the death blow Of the Loco
foco party, as the Offices will now be taken
from them, aud they will have nothing to
fight for. 1t is virtually loss to them of
from ten to fifteen thousand votes annually.
1t will be felt to that amount in the next
election, and any one who had any doubts
of the success of Wilmot, can now remove
them, for his election is certain.
We say, all honor to the American
Republican party, land the eight OF ten
Democrats,) in tue last Legislature for
passing this bin, and thus relieving an OPP
pressed people, and for the firmness of Gov
ernor Pollock, in carrying the act into

Mr. WILMoT's MoRALITY.-The Union
of yesterday republishes from tho Sonler SET
Democrat statement shat Hon. DAVID
WlLMoT is profauc swearer; that ''he
clothes himself with blasphemy as with a
garment" that cage, instead of correcting
this habit of profanity, has rendered it more
inveterate, and more Of this sort Does the
Union believe that statement or series Of
statementsl and if it does, does it oppose
men in its own party "who clothe themselves
with curses! and does not the Union fear
tEat if it could make its readers believe what
it endorses from the Democrat that it would
make Wilmot more votes in its own party,
than by urging his true merits as a JUST
judge, as an upright citizen, as a man of
kind and humane feelings!
There are plenty of men in this city who
know that the statements of the somerset
Democrat are false. We met q reverend
gentleman yesterday, who resides at present
in this county, but who is we'll acquainted
with Judge Wilmot, having lived beside
him for many years. Of him we inquired
into the reputation and private character
of our candidate, and he freely stated that
they are above reproach; that, in bis daily
walk and conversation, he is noted for his
uprightness, suavity ana correctness, ana
that any such charge as is here made against
him is entirely without foundation. Perhaps
it was unnecessary for US to write the above.
rs everybody knows that one of tho principal
engines of the pro-slavery party is the as
persion of private character; but as such
baseless slander serves TO show the total
disregard which that party has for the truth,
we set the fact over against the falsehood
and leave the public to Judge between
them.-Piftsburg Gazette.

Mr.. Packer is man in the yigor Of life,

has aimed Ia be made Governor. There

His Offices have never been lucrative; and
his salaries could not have yielded such
profits. There is little doubt, that part OF
the Seventeen Millions Of direct Taxes

last twelve years, has gone into his pocket
by some under ground avenue bnrrowed BY
the ssCanal rats with whom he has asso-

70 John P, Sanderson Of the Philadel-
phia .Ns,rs, it will be perceived, is not to be
allowed to play second fiddle for pay to the
Democratic party without being exposed.
The following questions bit pretty hard,
It was generally believed that he received
a large sum of money last year for the part
he played to elect Buchanan, and we believe
he done it. Without the straight American
vote going for Fillmore, Fremont would now
occupy the White House Next week We
viii publish more of this man Sanders sons
doings.
To John P. Sanderson, Editor Of the
PHILADELPHIA .News-SIR Did you not re-
ceive large sum Of money from the Loco
focos last fall to be applied to the purpose
Of defeating the American party in Penn
sylvanias
Did you not write to Mr., Young, the editor
of the Clarion Banner last fall to 60 to Phil,
adelphia Immediately, stating that you had
important business for him? Did you not
ask him to name his price to do the work
you had allotted for him2 Did you not tell
him that he might as we'll make specula-
ton as not! And did he not reply that he
was poor and needed money as much as any
man, but that he could not be bought Did
you not tell him that he was the strangest
man you ever saw4 And insist upon him
naming price! Did you not at night, when
separating from him, request him to call
next morniDgs Did you not, when lie
called next morning, repeat your solicita-
tions, that he would name his price, stating
that he had now an opportunity of making
money, and when be again refused, did you
no, repeat that he was the strangest man
you ever sawl Did you not have an under
standing with Messrs. Church and Broom
of Philadelphia that they would create diyis-
/ ion in the American Convention at Altoona,
that you might again play your diabolicaI
game of treachery' And do you not now
feel the remorse of guilty conscience, and
the condemnation Of justly indignant
country; as burthen too heavy to be easily
borne up BY i'll begotten wealth!
