Keep 1t before the People,
That Henry D. Foster represents th,
negative platforms Of two factions in po
litical Reorganization, whereby he progo
his utter subservienoy to party and unfit
ness to preside in the Executive depart
ment of great Commonwealth. He de-
nounces every northern man who hai
stood up for the rights and interests o.
the North, and stulti6es himsef With prai
sing southern sgitators and disuniouists
He meets the differences in his own par
ty. BY ,ituperation and abuse of his op
ponents, forgetting that in the press nt
contest all parties but the Republican ar.
contending only for place and power.
In the great struggle for northern pro
lection, whereby the ustry of the coun.

Of the nation, Henry D. Eoster is arrsyed
against every principle and the only pol.
10y which ensures the freedom of the pub.
lio domain BY preventing the spread ol
slavery. He is virtually opposing pro-
lection to American industry BY eneour.
aging the fanatacism Of the South, and
recognizing the asserted rights of the in
stitution of slavery in every State in the
Union. He is opposing the real interests
of Pennsylvania by compromising with
the corrupt leaders ofevery political clique
prominent in the present political Co ontest.
Occupying these positions, aud bound
and controlled By these influences, the
administration of such a man must inaug.
urate system of frauds and corruption:
that would prove disastrous to every bus.
iness and political welfare of the State
His association with politicians of the most
desperate character, and with those who
have been the authors Of large portion
of the debt Of the State, have placed him
under obligations which he would be com
PEELED to discharge. il elected, by abusing
aud prostituting the patronage of his po'
sition. Special grants would consequent
ly become the order legislation. The ve'
to power would be welded to present the
application OF just policy of government
aud stay the progressive prosperity of ths
Com muonwea.th.
The people of PeDnsylvania have only
q few days to satisfy themselves that
Henry d. Foster is not the man, in po.
litical sense or with sufficient capacity to
preside 10 the Executive department. oi
this State. They have but q few days t.
satisfy themselves that their resources ant
industry can alone be protected and i'm
proved by sustaining the men and meas
urcs Of the Republican organization
With them the responsibility rests. l
they fail to support Andrew G.. Curtin
they will also neglect to sustain Repub
lioau delegation in Congress that was tru
to Pennsylvania, true to liberty. II the,
permit the legislature to fall into tn
hands Of corrupt political division, the.
will lose the opportunity Of sending 81
honest man to the Senate of the Unitss
States. If they allow Andrew G Curtil
to be defested, they invite and insist oil
the rejection Of Abraham Lincoln. ant
surrender all the prospects Of northern
progress and Improvements to the preiu
duce. letbargy and licentieusness Of
southern slave ocracy.
The people must keep these facts an
arguments constantly before their eye
and in their minds. or they will be in
posed on by the designing leaders of iw
factions whose only arguments and justi
icatiops consist 10 acts of retaliative vic
lence and alternate sbuss.-Harrssbar,
