Lewisburg chronicle. [volume] (Lewisburg, Pa.) 1850-1859, 1857-09-18

nent men with fewer personal opponents
than DANIEL WITMER and THoMA,
HAYES. Our friends in Juniata count,
may rely upon it they will make worthy
popular, and creditable members. Unless
something unforeseen should occur, we may
put down their election by very large
majority-Oar opponents have but two
candidates up, yet they are in considerable
tribulation who to support, or what to do,
TO stand some hope of success. Might as
well fall in, ueighbors-liAYEs and Wit.
MER are as good team, and sure.
Hon. Mr.. Grow in LeNisburg.
The meeting in College Grove, Tuesday
last, was called to order by David IIcnuiug
of the County Committee, and the follow.
ing Officers chosen
Presijent-J Foster WILSON.
Vice Presideuts-Jamcs Dale, Samuel
Sweugle, James Marshall, Berryhill Bell,
James Shields, Francis Wilson, Michael
Kleckucr, NJ Ii Taggart, John Schraek,
WIN Rule.
Secresaries-Jno A Mertz, S II Orwig,
Fredk Smith, G W Chambers.
Mr., GROW spoke generally upon the
oil absorbing question Of the extension Of
Slavery, which he painted in vivid colOrs
as a social, political. pecuniary and moral
evil, not only to the subject of the wrong,
but especially to the master, to the poor
whites of the South, and to free laborers
Of the North, with whom slave labor
comes in degrading and ruinous competi-
,ion. He described the Kansas tragedy
from its origin with Douglas to the exist
ing pause in the storm. He argued that
every Election had its influence on the
administration of the National Govern
ment, and to dethrone the Slave Power We
must first fill the offices in the Free States
with its opponents instead Of aPologists.
Mr.. Grows remarks occupied over two
hours and half, aud were received with
the best possible attention. Many of our
friends think they never heard the cause
more ably and e.oquently advocated. (Our
friend Kuukle must look to it, or the Con-
nec,icut lad will win the laurel for effect
i've speaking, in Union county) Some Of
ONT opponents, also, stood riveted with
their eyes on the speaker from first to last,
and We believe received good seed in hon.
est hearts; while others, finding the shot
700 hot for them, retired. A number Of
Ladies were present, and the Mlfflinbure
Band furnished music for the occasion.
The number present was estimated from
500 to 200, which was larger than might
be expected when we take into account
the dust, the hurried season, and entire
absence of excitement and Of particular
efforts to call out q crowd. Friends were
present from all parts of this county, and
from Snyder, Northumberland, and Lyco
ming counties, who were benefited and
encouraged, and whose labors as they
return will be found more effective.
Mr.. kUNKLE did not receive his invita-
Il, q in season, as he had business call t.
Wayne county this week, and was booked
for Wilmot speech at Honcsdalc, SAM
day as ours. Mr.. CURTIN also was ava!
from home, but sent tclegraphic dcspatcl
Gs follows:
U,Rrrsrrra Tuesday noon, Sept. IS. 1857.
hos. T. SLIF EEIIaye Just arrived and received you
l,tt"r i. too tate, nenl regret it nurh as woul
have gone up. Az. CURTIN.
The success of Judge Wilmot is n
longer doubtful. Our advices are such a
make the ''assurancc doubly sure" tina, b
will come to Philadelphia with twenty -fv
thousand majority. And We honestly be
lieve that in Philadelphia he will poll tn
largest number Of votes We know b
can do so, and all that is required to Gu
sure it is riy;ionce AND WORK. Active
thorough, efficient organization on the par
Of his friends, in the city and in th
wards; in the wards and in the precincts
mark the prediction, Wilmot is the Gov
cruor by 10000 majority !-Hiad. .Sun
rss-We like to see our Philad. friend
in such good spirits, although they ar
more sanguine than We. We are awar
,ha, wilmot is gaining in the City, al
feel couGlent that if his friends tbro' til
State would work manfully and systema
ically, he would be triumphant.
In the present calm, with such division
Of partie. as exists, SC, 900 for Wilmot i
81 would be no more astonishing than th
1900 for Power in '46, the 10000 {,
Fierce in 80, Or the 10000 for PolIoc
tE' years after. Pennsy lvauia is honcstl
with "iiinot on the Slavery issue. Wit
proper 'H.r ri, he may be elected.
