Gen. Foster r--Duty of Democrats

When Gen. Foster was solicited by his
personal friends and admirers to become
candidate for Governor, he frankly replied
that he was not rich enough to afford it,
and therefore declined to comply with their
wishes. When the Reading Convention
assembled an excited contest arose between
the friends of the candidates before it. 1t
was feared that the party could not har-
monize upon either. Knowing the high
qualifications of Gen. Foster-his stern
patriotism and integrity--and the desire
of so large portion OF the Democracy to
nominate him in spite of his protestation to
the contrary, on motion of A. j. Dietrich
Esq, formerly of this county, he was
nominated unanimously amidst degree
of enthusiastic fervor rarely if ever witness.
ed before.
Thus literally forced into the field a
gainst his repeatedly expressed will and
against his interests yielding his personal
desires to the demands of the party, we
submit the question to every honest man
whether it is not golden duty for every
Democrat to use his utmost efforts to elect
him-to sacrifice every minor considera ,
tion-espccially to forget all extraneous
or national difficulties and make a grand
and determined rally for Henry D. Foster.

A Challenge to the World.

In his speech at Ashland, Mr.. Breck.

these statements | challenge contradiction n

1t is seldom a candidate can offer n
challenge like this to the world, for the
reason that few candidates occupy so high
and dignifed position as Mr.. Breckin.
ridge. He obtained nomination for
President through the unsolicited and un-
bought suffrages of his Democratic fellow.
citizens, He dofes any man to prove that
he ever intrigued for a nomination. II
would be well for the country if every can
didate for President could truthfully make
the same declarations. Will Mr.. Douglas
lay his hand upon his heart and say that
he has never solicited support! Will he
say that he has conversed with nobody,
soliciting support Will he say that he
has intrigued with nobody, and promised
nobody!

DEAD.

| The Philadelphia papers announce the death
OF Hon Henry d. Gil pin. The deceased was
Attorney General of the United States under
the administration of Mr.. Van Buren. He died
on Sunday morning at his residence in Phila-
delphia. This intelligence will send sorrow to
the hearts OF thousands throughout the length
and breadth of the land. In all the relations
of private and public life he was model. As
husband, as son, as citizen, as a gentle
man, he had no superior. Since his retirement
into private life he has devoted himself unob.
truslVely to the patronizing of every laudabe
undertaking, and to dispensing an elegant but
unostentatious hospitality.
Professor JAMES P. EsPy, usually denomi-
mated The Storm King" died at Cincinnati
on the Goth inst. Professor Espy, though one
of the least obtrusive and most dlffident men in
the country, was nevertheless one of it's great
men, and deserves TO be embaImed in its
cherished memories as of those who have adj,
ded to its fame throughout the world and pro-
NOTED its substantial interests at home.
The Rev. Joseph Addison Alexander, D. D.
Professor of Oriental Literature in the Theolo-

The Washington correspondent of the Phila-

OF that large clsss of men of labor and talent
who, In subordinate places, make regulations
for eminent men, and keep the machinery of
Governments in easy motion. Says he:
The brains Of the Committee of Ways and
and Means are supplied by MIR. Cochran, a
clerk, "a modest, unassumng man, who has
served In that capacity for a number of years)
who devotes himself at all times to the prepa.
ration Of bills, and to the collection of data and
information from the various departments of
the Government. Those who know him sneak

ment.
As you enter the House, when it is fully or
ganlzed, you will see standing on the right of
the Speaker young man named Thaddeus
Maurice. who may be called the prompIer of
the presiding officer. He began his services
as page, and think that it was Mr.. Cobb
who first took advantage ofhis skill and talent,
and from that day he haa been consulted by all
the Speakers. When new Congress assem-
bes it Is curious TO observe how rapidly he be-
comes acquainted with the names and appear

plaud the Speaker for his readiness and prof.
cheney do not know that the quiet, unprelend.

words into the Speakers mouth.
