Mr. Editor-The True Democrat of last
week. in a defence of its candidate for County
Commissioner, says, although he is a plain,
hard fisted, honest and intelligent farmer, he
is lust such man as will take pride in
bringing about reduction of the onerous
taxes which for year or two past have been
burden upon our citizens. / suppose it has
reference to the $40, 900 for the new jail-a
building which is an ornament to our county
and to the borough in which it is located an
honor to the Commissioners under whose SUI
pervision it was built and an honor to our
taxpayers, is PAID FOR. Now, leok back for q
moment. Fifteen years ago, (when the shil-
lelah editor of the Democrat was broth of
q boy,) what was done under Democratic
administration in our county? A court house
was to be built under that all.wise financier-
ing party, who are opposed to bleeding the
taxpayers, opposed to the banking system,
opposed to the shinplaster system, and who
are opposed to all other systems obnoxious to
the dear people-what did they do? The cost
was $4,000. The first step was to ISSUE
suINPLAsTERs to pay for the building of the
court house. Mark the consequence. These
shinplasters were put in circulation broadcast
throughout the county, the treasury was said
to be bankrupt, and they were paid out to poor
laborers who eventually had to lose the one
fourth of their hard earnings, on account of
the Glen court house rats and other shayers
and in about five years the court house was
paid for by this process of fnanciering at the
expense Of the unfortunate holders of these
Miffiin county shinplasters. Now, taxpayers,
Judge for yourselves which was managed for
the good Of the bleeding taxpayers. Should
this hard listed and intelligent farmer be SO
fortunate as to. he elected, it is hoped that he
will not keep away from any meeting of the
Board of Commissioners when there is inn
portant business TO be transacted but let him
stand up like man and vindcate the rights
incumbent on him as public officer As to
Mr.. Creighton we all know him to be an in
dustrious, competent man, in whatever posi-
ton he may be placed, and the Democrats
disparagement of him amounts to no more
than the barking of squirrel.

THE DEMOCRAT AND IT'S TICKET.

The Democrat continues to manifest
much zeal for the aceak points of its ticket,
being evidently afraid that the people will
not be willing to ratify the nominations at
the ballot-box. 1t has cause for this anxi-
ETY., and as here and there honest demo-
Gratis declare their inability to vote for some
of the nominees, this anxiety increases, so
that by election time our neighbor Will
probably roast and stew like beetsteak on
gridiron, though almost everybody eise
seems to be calm as a summers morning
DIR Bower too We learn is in hot water
He Is astonished, surprised, astounded, be-
w;,dered. and we don't know what not, at
the bare supposition of being capable OF
voting for an appropriation to the Sunbury
and Erie Railroad, and yet he was regarded
bv all as the nominee Of the men who are
known to be favorable to such an appropri-
alton. He protests too that it is not a
question at issue, as the amendments to
the constitution will cut off such an appro-
priation. This at the best is a shallow
artifce. How does the DR.. or anybody
else know that that amendment will be
adopted? 10 may be roted dorm, and
where will he stand then? The friends of
such an endorsement or appropriation have
refused in public meeting to call on him
to ),ledgc himself, and he has also refused
to do so. If elected, he viii probably RE-
MOVE TO HARRISBURG, cease 10 be a citi-
zen Of M6lm county, and as its represen-
| tative vote on the tonnage tax, an appro-
priation to the S. & Z. Railroad, &C. with
out much regard to promises made
| in a political campaign, which, like pie
crust, are generally made to be broken
The tonnage tax we regard as small mat
ter-the other as great one, an entering
wedge to increasing the State debt. Were
we in the Legislature we would not now
hesitate to vote for repeal of the former,
because the consideration for which it was
given has passed away, and more especially
because we regard it as a tax on trade
which the counties bordering ON the rail
road and main line pay in addition to the
three mill State tax.
The best thing the people of this county
can do, so far as the Legislature is concern
ed, is to re-elect Mr. Purcell Above sus
picion in all that relates to anything wrons
identified as a business man with thu
interests of the people-he is one of those
whom it would be bad policy to exchang,
for a politician who has for years beer
seckiag seat IN the Legislature, the very
class of men who ought never to be sen
there.
