Mr.. Walkers Testimony Before
the COvOde Committee.

For the present. we pass without comment
the testimony of Hon. R. J. Walker, which has
been so conspicuously heralded to the world
Instead of answers to any interrogatory, it
seems to be carefully prepared history Of his
stewardship as governor of Kansas.
lie says the President favored the submits
sion of the constitution of Kansas to the people,
and SO he did. That is fully admitted. This
has never been denied. But he says further
that during the progress of the Lccompton con-
vention he was advised by Mr.. Calhoun, the
president, that the plan finally adopted, which
Mr.. Walker considers great departure from
the doctrine Of submission, was suggested and
approved by the President. This statement cf
Mr.. Calhoun he did not believe. He acquits
the President ofall knowledge Of the programme
adopted; and then he uses this exact language
1T is also due to frankness to further say
that am fully impressed with the conviction
that the President himself did not get up this
programme, though l do believe IL ,cas gotten nm
by some Of the Administration Or others high in
authority"
At this time the propriety or impropriety Of
tuC pIau 10 uOt IuCStOu Will WulCu WC care
to deal. Who got it up, or whether it was in
accordance with Mr.. Walkers or the Presidents
plan, is not put in issue. But when Mr.. Wal.
ker says "it was gotten up by some Of the Ad
ministration," he must mean, all the world will
understand him to mean, by some member o.
the cabinet Here arises grave question. j
any member of the cabinet has sought, or has
taken steps, to change the line Of action of tht
President in an important matter of State poll
cy, without the advice, knowledge, or consent
of the President, he. has been guilty of an ac
Of infdelity and bad faith which should invoke
bis severest censure. Indeed, such conduc
would be dshonorable, and justly incur for
feiture of his confidence.
In this view, VIC think we have the right tt
demand Of Mr.. Walker the naming of the ind
vidual implicated. In the absence of reply
we shall maintain he is wholly mistaken, or il
wholly unable to substantiate the grounds o
| his belief Constitution.

From WASHINGTON.

Washington, May 2--The result of the first
days balloting at Charleston, SO unfavorablc
to Douglas. has caused but little surprise here.
It was we'll known in the best informed circles
that be could not be nominated under the two.
thirds rule, and but few believed he could gel
a majority Of the convention.
Who will be the nominee, no one can tell A
despatch from the Georgia delegation, to-day
to Secretary Cobb, however, would indicate
that Guthrie is the man.
AS to the platform. that submitted by Mr.
Wall, of Tennessee, re-affirming the Cincinnati
Platform, the Dred Scott decision and the equal
rights of Shareholders in the Territories, would
be perfectly acceptable to the Democratic party
here.

The Democrat and the Poor House.

The administration of the Poor House
seems to be considerable eye-sore to the
Democrat, and our reference to Samuel
Brewer, the Peoples candidate for Com
missioner, being brother of Joseph Brow
,er, "whose good and economical manage
ment of the Poer House elicits praise
from all, y has set it to doubling whether it
would be safe for the taxpayers to elect an
honest man to keep another honest man
company in managing their affairs The
Democrat has some strange fancies con-
cerning the Commissioners according to it
John Cupples would have made far bet
ter Commissioner than VIM Creighton
Aasaney better than Peachy; Gro better
than Bratton, Yet it Acknowledges that the
county's interests haze been guarded with
vigilance" for its reference certainly
could not be to the time when democra.
cy" ruled there at a cost Of $1,000 to
$4,000 a year instead of $1,000 or $4,000
as now. That paper need not alarm itself
on account of either of the Browers.-
Both are honest, true as steel, and would
as soon check each other as anybody else
The mere fact then of being brothers will
hardly deter the taxpayers from electing
an acknowledged honest man to oversec
one whom the Democrat itself says " has
made good Steward" a term rather diff.
cult to be understood when taken in con.
nection with the insinuations against the
brothers through the remainder of It's arti.
Gle. If the Democrat wants to know what
the people think of Samuel Brewer, let
It go to Decatur and various other parts Of
the county and it will perhaps get its eye,
opened. As for the Steward, he needs ne
defence-his acts speak for him.

DEMoCRATIC' MEETING.-One of the
most complete fzzles we have ever known
came off on Monday evening at the Town
Hall. 1t seemed to be under the pastoral
care Of Hon f. Banks, was the smallest
affair of the kind ever known on such an
occasion, without spirit, and we might al
most say without life-so much so that we
verify believe had the past, present and ex-
pectant oficeholders been taken away,
there would not have been fcc of " the
democratic people" left. Strange as it
may sound, not word was said on the
Presidential question, not principle enun-
ciated, no platform endorsed, bat in woful
tones Ephraim advised the democracy to
beware Of the Gazette !. Yes, democrats
Of Mifflin county, if you wish to remain in
Ignorance Of where you are being led,
don't read the Gazette, for it is the only
paper from which you can learn that
every vote given for a fusion electoral
ticket is HALF 4 VOTE FOR THE
CANDIDATE OF THE DISUNION-
ISTS OF THE SOUTH; it is the only
paper from which you can learn that south
ern disorganizers have disrupted your Ma
tional Convention, nominated a canddrte
against its regular nominee, and proclaim
ed the Tory doctrine that if majority of
the people Of the United States, as pro-
vided by the Constitution, elect Lincoln
President, THEY WILL DESTROY
THIS UNION; and it is the only paper
from which you can learn that you are aid
ing disorganization and destroying party
usages. So don't read the Gazettel
We annex report of the proceedings
as furnished Us by especial reporter"
who went to see the fun;
On last Monday evening hearing that there
was to be grand rally of the United Democ-
racy and clap of bell ringing at the Town
Hall, quietly wended nay way to the
corner opposite your Office walked up stairs,
and at once found myself seated among as
gO0Qly NUMBER OF Lincoln ana Curtin men
as | have met at one time and at one place
since our county ticket was decided upon.
If it handent been that our kind old friend
Mr. Banks was on the floor at the time, max.
ing an old fashioned exordium to what was
left of the democracy, should have said it
looked more like Republics Club meeting
There were about one hundred present. Six
ty Lincoln men, 35 Douglas and Breckenridge
men and Bell man and three or four bows.
After Mr.. B. got through straitening up
things and urging the necessity of making
at a harmonious meeting, considering the
distracted condition of the democratic partv
with reference to the Presidential election
he read the following list of names as officers
of the meeting. President-Cyrus Slime.
Vice Presidents-Wm. Briggs, Wm. Bell,
Isaiah Coplin, Josiah Kerr, Joseph R. Kulp,
T. Roop, Daniel Mateer VIM Sheehan. J

Frysinger Douglas Editor p Messrs Slime,
Coplin, Bell and one or two others responded,
Both of the Secretaries neglected, refused
or declined serving, when Dr. Martin was re-
quested to act as scribe but the DR.. wouldn't.
A dead silence ensued for some minutes when
Mr.. Banks, acting as floor manager. called
on Mr.. Joseph W. Parker to address the
