We cheerfully certify that we heard Mr. Pool
and Jordan upon several occasions And we
know the burden of Mr. Pools speeches was to de-
nounce Mr. Jordan for the Western Rail Road
votes; and for Allegheny County. Mr. Pool was
very bitter and pledged himself to vote against all
such measures if elected.

A CARD.
HEREFORD, June %, Is

Nv attention having been called to what appa-
rently an editorial in the E. City State, of Satur
day, 10th June say what is apparently an edi-
torial because of its authorship being somewhat IN
mystery-and having also heard that John Pool
denounces the letter of Mr. johnson, in relation to
his course while candidate in 1856, as false, [
feel it duty which | owe to myself to send for
publication the following certificates. L did not
expect anything better from Pool, because Of his
known character for trickery and s"Ltertuge,

have seen an attack made upon j. p. Jordan in
the 81. City State" Of the 10Th June which by
implication attempts to deny the statement Of Mr.
Jordan in his letter to Mr. Johnson.
] feel it duty owe Mr. Jordan to state, that
| have read the letter Of his to johnson, and
dorse every word of that letter. and it is useless for
Pool to deny the facts stated. Mr. Pool in my pre-
sence declared time and again, he would not if
elected vote for any Western measure requiring an
appropriation of public money, denounced Mr. Jo1-
dan in unmeasured terms for so doing and held him
up to ridicule. | the democratic candidate that
year for this county, and Mr. Pool inquired of me
if | endorsed Mr. Jordans votes. | heard all the
speeches made in this county but one, and this was
Mr. Pools position in each one | also distinctly
remember that he intimated once that Mr. Jordan
voted for these measures to obtain Judgcship. Mr.
Jordan replied to that that suspected anoth-
er until he himself had crossed that line which
separates honesty from dishonesty and am sure
Mr. Pool never alluded to the subject again in my
presence.
With regard to Mr. ,Jordan's position in society,
| shall add upon my own responsibility that have
known Mr. Jordan from boyhood; he has made his
way to distinction, spite Of opposition, is above
suspicion and stands above the mean attempts of
the pups Of party to lure him.

As to Pool, he and can settle our matter very
shortly and my friends will have 10 fear of the re-
suit If he is not the author, have ample testi-
nony to satisfy that he paid 80 pieces of silver
for its insertion.

and the personal statement of Mr. Perry was OBJ
jected to by me. He represented this county i'll

means and is no wise related to me. Jos +. New

Il
You ask me Mhy love them so,
These little, simple flowers,
That over every pasture blow
in April's sunny showers;
And why daisy wreath Irvine,
Instead oil flewy roses,
10 hang above the holy shrine
Where cur lost child reposes.
fTwas IN the spring time that she came,
Ard all the forest mazes
Were bright with flowers without a.name,
The fields were white with daisies.
You know how beautiful she grew,
How fair, how sweet and holy,
The violet, wet with morning dew,
Il not more pure and lowiy.
She fitted like sunbeam bright
Around orr cottage door
Her footsteps, as fairy's light,
Made music on the floor.
On every flower of wood or glade
She iavished childish praises,
she loved all things the Lord has made,
But most she loved the daisies.
How MANY thoughts beyond her years @
That then were all unheeded.
We think of row with binding tears
Sweet teaching that we needed
Three happy years we led her feet
Along lifsis thorny mazes,
Tie fourth we laid her down to sleep
Beneath the April daisies.
'Iis vel, and we are reconeiled,
For He who gave the blossom,
Who lent to US our angel child,
Recalled her to bis bosom;
And waiting till he calls for me
To sing with her his praises,
keep her blessed memory 5
Emhalmed in April daisies.
