White, Bower, and Nageny.
Almost the only grounds on which the
Democrat asks its readers to support Alli-
son White for Congress, is that he has been
nominated by the party. The people in
reality had little or nothing TO do with his
nomination, as was evidenced by the in
difference manifested at the delegate cleo
tions. He is however the nominee Of the
ofhceholdefs, He misrepresented the wish
es of his district in the great principle of
popular sovereignty, and made himself
party to that fraud merely because the ad-
ministration wished him to do so. In all
other respects he was plant to it, voting
for whatever the President or Heads of
Departments recommended, and thus show
ed that he had no judgment of his own
Why then should he be supported Ask
yourselves the question, voters of Miflin
County, before dcpositing your ballots ?
Send Mr.. Hale to Congress and he will
vote for Mr. Buchanan's recommendations
when they are right; but like free man
and true democrat, oppose him when
wrong. This is what you want, and what
all districts need, and until such men are
elected your cries for redress will be disre-
garded.
About similar ground is occupied by the
Democrat with regard to DR.. Bower
Pledges were made for and by him on mat
ters in which the inquirers felt a deep in
terest, and he deceived them. He also
showed his aptitude to pass snake bills.
VIII you trust him again Will you send
him back to the Legislature with your en-
dorsement Of his conduct, and thus sane
ton these political frauds, or send u better
and a truer man in his place? Mr.. With
crows interests are your interests, and he
is therefore far more likely to represent
your views than his opponent.
For Commissioner, the names of John
Peachey and Charles Nageny are presen-
ted. All know that this is an important
Office to the taxpayers, for on its proper
administration depends the expenditures
of those means exacted from the taxpayers
Who is most likely to fill the Office impair
TALLY, fearlessly, and with justice to all CON
cerned-Jo ohm Peachey or Charles Nageny?
Our personal knowledge of the latter is
limited, and far be it from US to utter
word of detraction against him, yet it
would have been of some interest to the
taxpayers to know how he stands with re-
gard to certain questions connected with
the poor house management! There are
those who desired information on this sub
ject, because as the columns of both the
Democrat and Press were perverted to as
sailing Mr.. Peachey for his independence
as Director Of the Poor, as well as his
character for integrity and benevolencc,
there was reason to believe the writer's re-
garded Mr.. n as the representative Of
their views. He may not be party to
any such hopes, yet it would have been
more satisfactory to the taxpayers to have
had the fact known, but the Democrat has
been quiet as mouse. Mr. Peachey occu-
pies no equivocal ground on this question.
Whenever the condition Of the treasury
will permit, he will no doubt be willing to
increase former rates where justice to par
ties calls for such action, but until times
change, Economy and Retrenchment"
ought to pervade every department where
the Peoples money is used, and for this
end Mr. Peachey stands second to no man
in the county.
