Personal Detraction.


Mr.. Curtin has promised to conduct this
campaign without personalities, in a man.
ner becoming Pennsylvania gentleman
and Mr. Foster has asserted his determine.
ton to confne the contest entirely to the
political issues between the two parties.
These declarations of the respective can.
didates for Governor have been received
with pleasure by all decent men, MS prom.
ising exemption during the campaign from
that system of personal detraction and
vituperation which has too often embittered
and disgraced our political struggles. 1t
Is, however, worthy of remark that Mr..
Curtins political friends have been the first
to violate this covenant of decency, and to
throw dirt at our candidate for Governor.
If there is q man in the State whose per.
sonal character should have protected him
from calumny, that man is Henry d.
Foster-but 1t appears that no character
is 80 exalted as to afford protection from
the poisoned arrows of detraction--and
Mr.. Foster must incur all the personal
abuse that small minds can inflict upon
great one.
a late number of paper called the
State Journal, published in Philadelphia,
contained a letter from Greensburg, West
moreland county, written by some timer
ant yagabond, which accused General
Foster of being gambler and having
lost large sums of money at the gaming
table. This correspondent found him
" lounging lazily at tavern door, un
sbaven, without cravat, and in dirty linen ;"
and represents him generally as an indo-
lent, good-tornothing idler, totally in
capactated for the position to which the
Democrats of Pennsylvania intend to Gle.
vate him. Where Mr. Foster is known
an attack SO false and base as this needs
no rcply--we allude particularly to the
charge Of immoral habits. The author of
the calumny is not citizen of Westmore
land county, for no man in that region
would dare 10 incur the odium of all par
ties at Mr. Fosters home by publishing
such wholesale libel. The fellow who
did the business was employed for the pur
pose by his masters in Philadelphia. AS
to the very grave charge against General
Foster, that he was detected in " dirty
lnen,' it may pass for what it is worth
among those who think that the apparel
makes the man.
Not only was this communication nd.
mitted into the St0te Journal, but the last
number Of that paper defends and iustfc.
it; thereby showing the deliberate inten.
tion to violate the implied understanding
that personalities shall not be dragged
into this campaign, and to continue the
same disgraceful kind of assaults. We
had hoped that it would be otherwise.
The campaign promises to be warm enough
without this addition but if the Republi.
cans are determined that it must be SO, we
warn them in time Of the consequences.
The guantlet must be taken up, and then
we would see who is the most yulnera.
