The Jeffersonian. [volume] (Stroudsburg, Pa.) 1853-1911, 1858-09-23
FOR THE JEFFRsoNIAN.
Next Congressman.

Mr.. EDITOR 81 have already seen
several announcement that Doctor David
K. Shoemak aker, of Rockport, Carbon
County, is an Iudepe endent Democratic
candidate for Congress in this District
against Dimmick, the Lecomptonite.
The Doctor is said to be a man Of su-
perior intelligence and unfaltering integ-
rity and consistency; uuassumiDg, courte-
Gus and geutlcmaply; briefly, a worthy
and upright man, in every respect quail
fed to properly discharge the duties OF q
Congressman.
He is a radical Democrat and was an
ardent supporter of Mr.. Buchananin 1856,
and has since firmly adhered to the prin-
ciplo of Popular Sovereignty
Mr. Dreher was the first choice of the
Democracy of Middle Smitb6eld, and We
seriously regret that be is net now can
didate. for be could and would easily
have beaten our dough face Diumick,
who has violated SO wrecklessly and gross.
| y bis PLEDGES to the Democracy; and We
cannot but consider it an insult and high
banded outrage. to ask the Democracy 20
again vote for a man that has so basely
aud glaringly violated his pledges, within
the briefspace Of time that he has been ele-
waited to power. freely cast my vote for
Mr.. Dimmick at the last Congressional
election, and considered, as q consistent
man and Democrat, | was discbarging N
duty; but | will suffer my right hand to
be cut off sooner than cast my vote this
fall for VIM H. Dimmick.
l appeal to every honest and consistent
Democrat, whether it is not gross insult
to ask US to vote for him, after having
shown himself to be so weak, inconsist.
ent and dishonest, and SO totally unit and
unable, to represent our true sentiments
and principles. DR.. Shoemaker is the
man for whom erery true and consistent
Democrat that is actuated by consistency
and Justice, can cast his vote and be true
to his principles and to the prompting.
of patriotic heart.
DiDmick was elected and went to Con-
gress popular sovereignty man, and
pledged as strongly as was possible for
any man to be, to support faithfully that
great principle of the Democratic party.
But what cid he do! Why the first vote
he cast on the question was directly a.
gaiust that leading principle of our party.
Thus proving himself liar, aud we will
show ourselves liars before the country,
if We persist 10 bis reelection to the Office
which he has SO sadly disgraced. Not.
withstanding these undcniable facts, the
Monroe De nocrat, the lf-assumed mouth
piece of US, the Democracy of Monroe,
has the impudence aud dishonesty to de-
clare that, "Ihe lion. Nm H. Dinmick
IS a true and sOortty representative. He
'oas elected TO assist IN carrying out Demo.
cratic principles. That duty lie has faius-
Gully pegormed." oL m
Now, after be has been proven guilty
of thus grossly violating his pledges, we
consider it too much, for the Monroe
Democrat, the Democratic organ, to ap-
piaud such inconsistent, dishonest and
di'rePutable condpct as this. A journal
that will so glaringly prostitute itself,
ought to hide its head in the dust for II
mas forfeited its right to the respect of
consistent and honorable men. Come fel.
low Democrats, let US prepare to roll up
such vote FOR DR.. Shoemaker. the true
Democrat. as will shame the imperti.
nence Of and successfully teach the Post. |
Office ed itor, that we are not bound to
dance to the Lecompton music ground
out by that slavish and inconsistent organ.
