WON'T SHOW HIS HAND.

James K. Kerr, the Democratic candidate
for Congress, boasts that no man in the Dis
trict knows who he intends supporting for
President-that he has his preference, but
that is neither here nor there to other people 1!
That is bold position for candidate for Con-
gress to take Every honest man can admire
another who takes an open, fearless Stand on
disguses his preference between candidates
entertaining dissimiar views on great National
questions which he, as Congressman, would
inevitably have to act upon 1t is very evi-
dent that somebody is bound to be cheated by
Mr.. Kerr. Either the Breckenridge faction, or
the Douglas party will be deceivod-regular-
ly ssold''-by their candidate for Congress.

u.TIT FOR TATn

Curwensville on Saturday evening, was very
emphatic in the use of the term ssBlack Re-
publicans." The distinguished Senator is
the acknowledged leader of the Breckenridge
democracy in this county. His wing of the
party avowS a strong love for the rights of the
Negro Slavery Propagandists. In view of this
fact, and in order to distinguish them from
those opposed to slavery extension, we trust
the Senator and his friends, who indulge in the
use of derisive appeliations when speaking of
the Republicans, will not find fault if we here
after call their wing of the party, the ssNegro
Democracy - 1t viii be both expressive and
appropriate. For the Douglas faction the calpr
of the name might be slightly modified.

NOTHING BUT "a CLERK

Z Our readers are all doubtless aware that Mr..
Wigfall, Democratic United States Senator
from Texas, declared last winter that "Poverty
Is q Crime,' and that Senator Hammond, OF
South Carolina, another leading Democrat, re-
CARDS the laboring men of the North as sshire-
liugs'' and the ssvery mud-sills of society,"
Such ideas we might expect to hear from men
reared under the influences by which these
have all their e-time been surrounded but
we were not prepared to hear the editor OF a
public print in the free North sneer at the idea
that man who was poor boy once, should
be selected as q candidate by one of the great
parties of the country. And yet such is the
case The Clarion Democrat, after saying that
Gen. Patton, our candidate for Congress, is ga
young man of rather prepossessing appearance
as a school-boy or dancing MASTER" speaks
contemptuously of the fact that he once was
.sa clerk in a country retail store !" We know
that John Patton has, by his own industry and
..talent,o raised himself from poor ''clerk"
to the position of one Of the best and most sue
cessful s.business men'' in our county; but
that either one Of these facts, or his personal
appearance, should be urged as a valid objec-
ton against his election to Congress, is more
than we ever expected to hear in this region
OF country, where it is no crime to be poor,
and no disgrace for man to earn his daily
bread by hard bone labor. Nor will it do for
the editor of the Democrat to say that he did
not wish to convey such an idea-if his ex-
preston means anything, it means just what
we have stated, more particularly if we take
in connection with it the circumstance that
Mr.. X. Kerr, the Democratic candidate, is
by profession a iauyer' Not word is said
against his ability to represent the district, or
about the principles which Gen. Patton advo.
cates-those are matters which do not seem to
trouble the editor of the Clarion paper. Are
q majority of the citizens of this county pre-
ment that casts reproach upon honest labor
and native worth Are you willing that j Ohm
Patton shall be defeated because he happened
when young to be poor. and was s'a clerk in a
country retail storei' We can't believe that
YOU will. We have higher opinion of your
sense of honor. We have no doubt that you
will give him vote that will strike with con
sternation every editor and politician who has
the temerity to advocate views that accord
with the .smud-siif' notions of Hammond, and
the aristocratic yagaries of Wigfall.
If Democratic editors can find nothing else
tl.an his personal appearance and his bushes!
energy to put forth as objection TO Gen
Patton, they had better "shut PAM" and hide
their faces for very shame sake.

Is JAMES K, KERR A FREE TRADER,

In the Democratic National Platform adopt
ed at Cincinnati in 1856, we find the following
Plank - st ts.s
s.The time has come for the people of the
United States to declare themselves in faror
of free seas and Progressive Free Trade through
out tho world.'
The platform OF 1856 was reaffirmed by
both wings of the party in 1860. Thus
then we have tho Democracy pledged in ia
vor of Progressive Free-Trade - That is
one OF the principles of the party. James K
Kerr, being the Democratic candidate ios Con-
gress in this district, we take it for granted
that he endorses the whole of the platform,
..Free-Trade' plank and all Ii not, he must
s.repudiate' the actions and reiterated dec
larations Of his party. s'How stands" Mr..

LocoFoco KNoW.NorH1NGIsm.

The last Ciearfeid Republican, the Breckin-
ridge organ in this county, contains an article
abusive of Carl Shurz, an eloquent German,
who is designated as an 'sincendiary emissa-
ry," ssHessian'' in politics, an s.insolent ad-
yenturer," Unreasonable dcstructire," an
ssaien, yet reeking with the perspiration of
revolutionary efforts in Europe, coming here
to lead crusade against the South. to preach
abolitionism, to SOW the seeds of disorganiza-
ton, and to raise the black flag of disunion
and dismemberment." Who would have
thought that ssDemocratic'' paper which has
denounced Nothingism as severely as
the Clearfeld Republican, would publish an
article abusing foreigner in such a style as
that? Who would have conceived that ed-
tors protesting intense love for the Germans,
the Irish, the French, &c, would permit such
bitter feelings of ssdisgust and Indignation
not only TO rankle in their hearts, but break
out in bitter inyectiye and abuse /! 1t is more
than We ever anticipated-more than we had
right to expect-but it shows clearly the by-
pocrisy that the Democratic editors are prac-
tlcing towards the foreign-born citizens of the
United States. We have called attention to
the fact only for the purpose of exposing the
insincerity of their professions. If Carl
Shurz had been making Democratic speeches,
we have no doubt he would have been regar-
ded as the best sort of man, and sound pa
triot, by Locofoco editors generally.

Douolas on Fusion,

Senator Douglas in his Reading speech EN- i
pioyed the following language concerning fu.
sion with the Breckenridge faction:-
s.If you sanction or tolerate this new dodge,
you hold out premium for every faithless
man to bolt in future. For one, 1 can never
fuse, and never will fuse with man Who tells
me the Democratic creed is contrary TO reason
and to the Constitution. Let us spurn the
boiling idea. Let us stand firm by our prn-
ciples; let us maintain the integrity of the
Democratic party, and then trust our cause TO
God and the people. [Cheers.l | have
fought twenty sayen pitched battles since |
entered public life, and never yet traded with
nominations or surrendered to treachery
TCheers. And if Ilmistake not the true
spirit of the Democracy of old BerSs. they
will stand by their colors and scorn all alliance
either with Northern AboitionistS or South
ern secessionism.' tCheers.]
The Judge should have continued after that
to give direct opinion on the extraordinary
fusion in New York.

TNE RAJ TSMAN'S JOURNAL.
HENRY D. FOSTER.


We have been favored by our worthy mem
Der Of Congress, Hon. Chaplin Hall, with
copy of the Covodc Investigatingl Report
which makes some rich developements in ree
gard to the means used to carry the Lecomp-
ton swindle through Congress, the issue OF
fraudulent naturalization papers, and other
rascally transa ctions, of which the present
National Administration and the leading
Democratic politicians have been guilty du-
ring the past few years. From the testimony
| it appears that from 10000 to $4,000 were
spent insthis State in 1858 to carry the cleo
ton. AS it is the boast of the Democratic pa
pers that Gen. Foster, their candidate for
Governor, who was then candidate for Con-
gress,is an unusually honest and upright man,
we will give an extract or in regard to him.
| Cornelius Wendell, a prominent Democrat of
| Washington city, being before the Committee
as witness, gave the following testimony,
which we find on page 562:
| Question: Did ask you before whether
| there was any other Foster in Pennsylvania
| for whose election you contributed
| Answer. do not know that l contributed
| to the election of this Foster.
| @. In your account book you have down
| s.Foster, Pennsylvania. S250;" now, what
| Foster was that /?
| A. | cannot tell; it may have been the Fos
ter running now Tor Governor, and it may not
@. Do you know any other Foster7
! A. do not.
| O. And have You no memorandum to show
whether you paid that money to Mr.. Foster
here or in Philadelphia 4
A. / have not.
Q. Was he here about that time?
In n rau IN bpr seeing HIM.
Norris this all. 1t. was intended that Ire
should have more assistance, as appeared by
the following testimony of VIM. IL. Witte, a
prominent Democrat of this State:-
Q. Were you applied to in 1858. during
the canvass by Gen. Foster, for some money !?
| a. Yes sir; do you wish me to state the
| circumstances.
| Q. will ask for another question. Did
you, a few days before the election that year,
telegraph to Mr.. Barclay to draw on you for
| q certain amount?
A. / did.
@. For what amount?
A.. For 5000.
@. Had General Foster spoken to you, or
written to you. or both, on the subject before /?
A. He had both spoken and written to me
previously on the subject.
@. Did you ever cash that draft
a. No, sir.
/ q. What was the reason you did not.
A. Well, sir, my telegraphic despatch
having been made public, thought if paid
the draft, perhaps the nature ofthe transaction
between Gen Foster and myself might be mis-
construed; therefore did not pay the draft.
Now, this may all be sshonest"-we have
no doubt that it is so regarded by Democratic
politicians; but whether every one will regard
it in that light, is another question. We pre-
sumo, however, that this is part of Gen. Fos-
ter's s'record" of which the Ciearfieid Repubii-
can boasted few weeks since. How is that,
George? M

A RuMoRED PoLITIcAL BARGAIN.-The Phil
adelphia Evening. Bulletin says that an ar
rangement was cousummated night or two
ago, by which the Bell-Eyerett party in that
city is to be sold out to the dem ocracy. The
leaders of the Bellites, DouglasItes and Breck
inridgers held meeting and perfected the
the terms of sale. They are as follows s--The
Bell and Everett city ticket is to be support
ed, both branches of the Demscraey dropping
their candidates to that end. Mr. Brodhead
the Democratic candidate for Congress in the
Second District, is to be slaughtered, and
Henry NJ. Fuller, the Bell and Everett candi-
date for the same position, is to be supported
by the fusionists. In return tor all this the
Bell and Eyeretters are to support Gen. Fos-
ter for Governor, and also the regular Demo :
cratic Nominees for Congress in the First,
Third, Fourth and Fifth Districts. The Pres
idential question is TO be left ol,en until after
the second Tuesday in October. This is a
very nice arrangement; but we hardly think
it will amount to much. Whatever leaders
may do, uoters will not permit themselves to be
sold like cattle, if they have any manhood loft

CoNTEMpTIBLE MEANNEss.-Last Friday
night, during the visit of the Curwensvile
ssWide AwaSes'' to this place, some of the
Breckenridge Democrats displayed their mean
ness by ringing bells and otherwise attempt
ing to create a disturbances. We had expected
that peace officer, like the District Attorney,
instead of tapping the bell and encouraging
others to do SO, would have interposed his aii-
thority to. prevent disorderly and riotous con-
duct. The Burgess has properly declared
the ringing OF the new court-house bell in
the street nuisance and wonld doubtless
have dealt summsrily with tho offenders had
he not been absent from his Office.
