Dear Si.- Your letter Of the l4th inst.
was duly received, and as it proposed a
plan for conducting the Gubernatorial Cam
paign which had never hitherto been adopt
ed in Pennsylvania, AID as the interests Of
other candidates were involved in the re-
suit, / did not feel myself at liberty to
accede to yeur proposition without first
consulting the State Committee to which
the Democratic Convention has on its part
specially confded the control and mauage-
nlent of the Canyass.
You will receive herewith copy of my
letter to the Committee, as also their reply,
BY which you will perceive that yom sug-
gcstim does not meet their approval, and
that, for reasons stated at length, ] ought
not accede to your proposition. Its, there
fore, respectfully declined.
| am, yours, truly,
WM. f. PACKER.

OF General Packer. things are stated as
true which, in justice as we'll as charity,wO
should be slow to credit. The charges come
closely near to touch his integrity. Stories
are very apt to be got up about election time
against candidates and should not be too
readily received as true. Indeed, If true,
they would presumed to have been known
10 be true, itmust be also clear that no mere
party weight or elamors could carry him
in against the sober Judgment of the peo-
pie.

Santa Anna is handled without gloves by
the Republican press of Mexico, for his
late manifesto, in which he says that coz
stitutioual government is poison which
always endangers the life of nations. It's
only such lawless despots as Santa Anna
who ever doubt the efficacy of any law
higher than their will The Mexican press,
however, show that the public sentiment
clearly appreciates the necessity Of . fun
damental code of laws, binding the govor-
nor as well as the governed; and it is not
likely that anything the expelled Dictator
can say will induce them to overlook its
advantages.

A FAILUREi Bowman states that our
meeting of Saturday night week, was a
failure. We epresume, however, that he viii
not state to his readers that the Locofocos
had meeting called for several weeks, to
take place at the Court House, on Saturday
evening last. Bowman went to the Springs
and procured the services of Mr. Roberts
Of Pittsburg, the same person who helped
to stump this County last summer, to ad-
dress the great democratic meeting, that
was to be! Evening came on, Mr.. Roberts
could not procure a hack at the Springs to
come to town, but nothing daunted, and
true to bis appointment, he started on foot,
and arrived at the Court House, after the
bell had been rung several times. A great
effort had been made to get up a very large
meeting, report was circulated that one
of the best stumpers in the Union was to
speak, and that Mr.. Buchanan, who vas at
the Springs, was to grace the assemblage
with his presence, but it all would not do.
Mr. Roberts was told very politely of course,
BY the President of the Club, that he was
extremely mortified that they could not get
up meeting, that there were only sir in
the house, and that they would have to adj
journ and have the pleasure of hearing him
at a more convenient season! Mr.. Roberts
also stated that he was sorry, on account
of the trouble he had in getting there, that
the people among the mountains of Penn
sylvania did not appreciate his extraordinary
oratorical powers, and also op account of
the not very fntterirg prospects of the party
in Bedford County He then jumped into
hack that was passing by and was off to
the Springs. The sir, and this is actually
the correct number present, left, without
speaking or vrgarrizIug, TO meer ngafu some
time during the summer or fall!

GIVE cannot refrain from calling the
attention Of our readers to an advertisement
in this days paper of the ''Hair Restorative"
of Prof. o.. Wood & Co, of ST. Louis.
1t will be seen that he has numerous GER
tifcates from persons of the highest cha r
acter, to the merits of his Restorative. From
positive knowledge we are also enable to
say, that it it Is 10 every sense what it pro-
fesses to be, and we do not hesitate TO pro-
nounce it the finest preparation for the head
and hair which has so far been divised by hui
man ingenuity. We have seen it arrest
threatened badness, and restore TO the head
its original profusion OF natuIal and glossy
hair, and when the latter has been prema-
turely tinged with gray, we have seen it,
like magic, restore the colors of youth und
health, The distinguished property of this,
We might truly say, miraculous "Restora-
tive is that it gives to the persons who
use it,the same head of hair that they wore
in youth, thus acting in strict compliance
With the rules of the first and greatest of
all toilet ma kers-Naturo. No one who
has used it will hesitate to unite with US in

So much has been pr owed against former
boards of Canal Commissionars-being sha-
rers in Contracts, or giving or aiding to give
to relatives or friends, immense sums an :
oaense sums, beyond the fair value of the
work to be done, or, indeed beyond what
others offered to do the work for, that =
charge of that kind, 50 made and sustained
by presumptive evidence, would blow, be-
yond the hope of success, the most popular

up by Nlessrs. Daniel and John Border,

putting up and all, between FIVE any six
hundred dollars. The Commissioners of
the County subscribed $3.50, and the citi-

lit should appear that, when Mr.. Pack

to the injury of the Treasury, and to the

to be ready for another visit to Nicaragua.
If Walker were to take his former friends
with him he would empty some Of the hos
pitals of the country. The stories about
dissensions among the Nicaraguans and
between them and their allies are believed
to be unfounded reports, started by the fiji

Martinez for President. Walkers prospects
