we tiud the Borough Of New Berlin Las

L9wisburg has nothing? We were not
awarded any canlidate, but will do our
best for Tue CAUSE. Just help elect
Cros<grove of Limestone, Pross of Kelly,
Harris Of East Butfaloe, and Reber Of
Mitil,nburg, aud the candidates will repre-
sent ali parts Of the county, and no Town
ship or Borough have more than proper
donate share. This putting all in few
districts, and at either end of the county,
is not the fair thing.
sg-TLe fact is notorious, that, months
ago, Lawyer Deirick was prophesied to be
the nominee Of the Locos for Senator in
this district, by the power and money Of
the Suubury x Erie Railway Company.

from this district, have both pledyed them
selves to oppose the etf1r, of the Penn'a

porous, aud, until the State Debt is paid,
could and should stand good stiff tax
with the rest of Us. They got the Main
Line at a good bargain for themselves.
NO REPEAL.
We are also authorized by ANDREW
GREGG to pledge him against the proposed
Repeal OF that Tonnage Tax.
FAIR PLAY Most Of the opposition
in Lew.-hurg sincerely desire to ignore all
former local divisions, and labor for pRIN-
CIrLE. Our party friends in New Berlin
and vieiuity-we are assured by men, on
whom we rely-are now almost unani-
mousIy Of the same opinion, and will show
it by their votes. We shall again trust
them, as men Of honor and patriotic iuteg-
rity; if our confidence be misplaced, it
will be hard eUer to reconcile the two ends

&sg-COl Curtin fulfilled all his appoint

Lycoming. His speech in Lewisburg,
Tuesday evening, was pronounced by many
the greatest political effort heard here, for
two years past, if it was ever cqualled 1t
was u rare treat.
Mr.. Patterson was called home by i'll.
ness, and although expected every day,
may still be prevented from paying US an-
other visit, as he desired, from the same
cause.
