OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES tor Steele has
our thanks tor copies OF Canal Commission
ers' repor. and Slate Treasurer report. Mt
Steele as a working m an in the State Senate,
will be all that Brodhead was in the U. 5
Senate, the most industrious and useful man
there. We consider him the most able rep
resentatiye of LuZsne in Harrisburg thus
winter. a strnng party man, aud promi'
ueut leader among them, he VIII stand py
his party IN every mcre issue We should
not respect him as we 10 were il otherwise.
But we think he will not permit Party 10 IN
ter(ere with his duty to his constituents aud
the local interests of his dislticl.h-Record Of
The Times.
r We clip the above paragraph from the
las, issue of The Record, and give it 10 our
readers as specimen of the consistency
which eharacterizes The editor ot that sheet
Wha, change has come over the spirit OF
his dreams When Mr.. Steele was before
the people as candidate for the reponsble
position he now adoms, this same editor
who now extols him 10 the skies, was at
loss TO hnd language severe enough 10 vent
his political spleen against him. He Kept
his riekeiy old Power Press in MOTION day
and nigh. and Sunday too, printing hand
bills in which Mt, Steele was posted through
on, all parts of the county as being one OF
the vilest political sinners. No falsehoods
nor ISLANDERS were TOO slartus to be circu'a-
ted abou, him 10 inIngues were too base
and dishonorabIs 10 be concoc,ed, in order
10 prevent his elscnon; the flames of perse-
cuuon burned most furiously around him ;
his personal and political character was
shamefuly mallsued; and every e2iihei
which the language could furnish, was heap
ed upon his devoted head, by this same edi'
tor who now Processes TO have so much re-
speci Ior him. He was sceu Led OF belonging
to the Know-Noihings-of being ";radins
politician"--of securing his nomination by
Unfair meaus--and denounced as being Vi
ierly unfit TO represent Luzsrne County in
the State Senate - All this, and erea
deal more, was published against Mr. Steele
BY the immaculate, consistent editor OF The
Rseora, who Row considers ''him the mos
able representative OF Luzerne al Harris
butg.-Lu-srns Uaion.

The President Elect.

1t is unqusstionabiy true that the President
elect ought 10 come into office absolutely un-
lrammeied by party dic;ation, either North
or South; and we shall be the las, to infringe
in any wise upon his just and clear preroga-
tive. He has been declared TO be the Presi-
dent OF tho whole country, and doubtless he
will enter in good faih upon the discharge OF
The duties Of his position, with wise regard
TO the welfare of the whole country.
For ourselves, we should prefer that, in The
selection of the heads of department. the
President shall be lei alone to,select his own
men. AS he will be held responsible for the
conduct of the administration, into whose
hands soever the chief subordinate offices
may fall, IT is but jus, lhal in the choice OF
workmen he should be without tramme or
hinderance.
Of course, we all have our preferences, and
in most cases, we dare say these preferences
are based upon an accurate knowledge the
men, and proper confidence in the fact that
they will carry out the measures which The
election of Mr. Buchanan was designed 10
secure. But il will require no extraordinary
charity 10 believe tha. others too are equally
trustworthy, and equally competent with our
own, and will do as much 10 advance the
true welfare of the country, by fearlessly ad-
he ring 10 the wise ard wholesome features
of public policy, the triumph Of which was
secured BY yihe recent election. And whether
Mr.. Buchanan shall choose his colaborateurs
from the North or the South, from Virginia
or New York, is and ought 10 be matter OF
snl \ concern, it he shall choose wise, worthy
and faithful men.
He will do this, lei croakers say what they
may. II no higher motive prompted II,
polite regard for the success OF his admins
traton will ensure such course. We have
no fears, then, that the chief offices vii. ia'l
into the hands of unworthy men, or lhol we
shall have any need for elimination or COM
plant when The names OF the chosen ones
are announced.
We have again and again set forth in SUBJ
stance what we now say, aud are determined,
lot the President do as he may in The selec-
lion of Cabinet, to delead Whatever OF wis,
iom there shall be found in his policy al
lome or abroad. Were MIR. Buchanan an
unknown mau, there might possibly be some
occasiou for anxiety as 10 his men aud meas
nres, but with a veteran officer, so able aud
so distinguished, at the helm, who eau doubt
that even in the present crisis, he will guide
us safely aud surely through the perils that
may encompass our couvse s-Riehmond E"'
quirer.

Ten Dollar Counterfeit.

A len dollar counterfeit, bill on the Girard
Ba.k of Philadelphia is in circulation. The
new note is calculated 10 deceive, and yet
its spurious character is easily detected.
1t is fainter in appearance than the genuine
note, has The same vigueae and medalliors !;
bot in the genuine there are strong while
lines passing through the engtavings which
are not 10 be peceived, or but family in the
counterfeit. Tbs most distinctive difference
is however, in the lines or white spaces
above aud beneath The portrait Of Girard.--
These lines in the counterfeit are double the
width of The genuine. By laying the two
notes together so tha, the lines will meet, the
difference is al once perceptible. The conn.
teifeii is of The letter B. No more len dollar
bills on the old rlsis will be issued By The
bank.
