And uireas, fraud and Misrepresentation

our candidate for Governor Hon. William Mil
ward, our candidate for Canal Commissioner, E,
Hon. Joseph J. Lewis and Hon. James Veech,

ciples of American Republicanism, and whose
services are demanded at the present time and
asked for by a free people.
Resolved. That il is the duty Of every one op-
posed TO the exira-judicial and outrageous as
suits upon our free institutions, by the party
represented BY Pierce. Buc chanan and the can
dIdates now soliciting support under their
banner, to come forward in one solid column
and vote the whole American Republican
ticket-Adjourned.
WHIG PRINcIPLEs.-That the old Whg par
ty have passed away, and to be known on
earth no more for ever, We need no more con-
elusive evidence than that the son of Henry
Clay has been elected by the Democratic par.
ty to represent the Ashland District in the
next Congress Of the United S,aies.-Richnond
Enquirer.
Absalom deserted and betrayed his faith
er, but the scep're of David continued to
rule, and his sublime teachings sway the
minds Of good men to the present day.
The principles of Henry Clay and the
Wing party will exert their benign iuau-
ence over mankind long after it shall have
ceased to be known that there was a James
b. Clay or even Democratic party.-R
tersJury InteHiyencer.
Aud Judas betrayed his Master, but
Christianity "still lives" Ben Franklin's
son turned Tory-Arnold turned Tory
but the Revolution still went on. Henry
Clay would have secuted Buchananism
and Slavery extension, in 1856 and 7,
just as be did all his life The sons apos-
tacy (for Office to his fathers assassins, dis
graces himself and his new party, and not
the glorious old Wing cause or the memo

bate son as Locofoco friend Of his worst
enemy, Buchanan, is not the old Wing
District Of Henry Clay himself. These
noble old Wing counties repudiated the
traitor, but some Loco counties, since ad.

ted that the Locos expended over $50, 900
to elect yourg Clay, and then held drum

haunted with the blackest calumnies " bile
alive!
THE WAY THEY TALKED.-The follow
ing is the way the Locofoco press talked
before Backer run away:
"ALL A MIsrAKE.-Some Of the Republican
prints arc stating that Judge Wilmot has
challenged Gen. Packer to meet him upon the
stump during the Gubernatorial campaign.
The whole story is fabrication. Wilmot is
not notorious for backbone, as all will know
who remember his declining to meet Mr..
Schnable last fall, upon the stump. Gen.
Packers his man whenever he feels like pitch.

The same paper is noD busy in explain
ing to its readers that stumpiDg is all
wrong, and that Packer could not properly
do anything but show clean pair Of heels
when challenged to confront his opponent.
The Juniata Sentinel, in view Of Pack
er's back out, is tempted to iudite the fol-
lowing verse:
40, Packer Is the candidate
so eloquent and witty,
He'll make n dustin Governor,
With he help of q Committee"
