Keep it before the PeonIe.

That Henry u. Foster opposed the sale of
the main line of the public improvements,
because such sale and transfer threatened
to impair the influence of the political organ
ization to which be was attached, and drive
from power a corrups clique of ofice-holders
of which he is member
| That he voted against every movement in
the progress of the bill for such sale, in di-
rect violation o. the expressed will and in
structims of bis constituents.
KEEP IT BEFORE THE PEOPLE,
That Henry D. Foster reported for the in
crease of legislative pay, whereby the ex-
peuses of Pennsylvania were increased some
THIRTY THOUSAND DOLLARS per an-
mum.
That he forced his party's power to ex-
clude the rightful possessor of a seat in the
legislature, and instate instead partisan.
for the purpose of forcing special legislation,
and acts of Individual privilege.
KEEP IT BEFORE THE PEOPLE,
That Henry D. Foster represents the mega
tive platforms of two factions in political
disorganization whereby he proves his utter
subserviency TO party and unftness to pre-
side 10 the Executive department of great
Comm onwealth. He denouuces every north
er1 man who has stood up for the rights and
interests of the North, and sultifes himself
with praisipg southern agitators and disun-
ioDists. He meets the differences in his own
party, by vituperation and abuse of his op-
ponents, forgetting that in the present con.
test all parties but the Republican are con-
tending only for place and power.
In the great struggle for northern protec.
ton, whereby the industry of the country
will be induced to develop the stupendous
mineral and agricultural resources of the Ea-
ton, Henry D. Foster is arrayed against
every principle and the only policy which
ensures the freedom of the pablo domain by
preventing the spread of slavery. lie is vir-
tualiy opposing protection to American in
dustry by encouraging the fanaticism of the
South, and recognizing the asserted rights of
the institution of slavery in every State IN
the Union. He is opposing the real interests
of Pennsylvania by compromising with the
| corrupt leaders of every POLITICAL clique
prominent in the present political contest.
Occupying these positions and bound and
controlled by these influences, the admins
tration Of such man must inaugurate sys-
tenn of frauds and corFuptions that would
prove disastrous to every business and polit.
ical welfare of The State. His association
with politicians of the most desperate char
| ac.er, and with those who have been the au-
thors Of a large portion of the debt of the
State, have placed him uuder obligations
which he would be compelled to discharge,
if elected, by abusing aud prostituting the
patronage of his position. Special grants
would consequently become the order of leg.
islation. The veto power would be welded
to prevent the application Of juAt policy of
government and stay the progressive pros
perity Of the Commonwealth.
The people of Pennsylvania have only
few weeks to satisfy themselves that Henry
D. Foster is not the man. in political sense
OF with sufficient capacity to preside in the
Executive department of this State. They
have but lew weeks 20 satisfy themselves
that their resources aud industry can alone
be protected and improved by sustaining the
men and measures Of the Republican organ
ization With them the responsibility rests.
If they fail to support Andrew G. Curtin,
they will also neglect to sustain a Republi-
can delegation in Congress that was true to
Pennsylvania, true to labor and true TO lib
ertv. If they permit the legislature to fall
into the bands of corrupt political division,
they will lose the opportunity of sending an
honest man to the Senate of the United
States If they allow.Andrew G. Curtin to
be defeated, they invite and insist on the re-
lection of Abraham Lincoln, and surrender
all the prospects of northern progress and
improvements to tee prejudice, lethargy and
RIGHTEOUSNESS of southern slave-eeracy.
The people must these facts and argu,
ments constantly before their eyes and in
their minds, or they will be imposed on by
the designing leaders of two fations whose
only arguments and justifcations consist in
acts Of retaliative violence and alternate
abuse Harrisburg Telegraph.
