a copy OF the Morrill, Tariff Bill 10 Abram

record so far as Pennsylvania interests
are concerned, but he was not disposed 10

FOrnsy,s Old Grudgs Against Foster.

That truthful sheet, the Press, in It's ed
ton of Friday Last, published what purport-
ed 10 be a letter from Somerset, giving an
account of meeting held there, at which
the Hon. Henry D. Foster spoke. Senti-
ments were therein stated TO have been ut
tered by Gen. Foster in relation 10 the ter
ritorial question which he had no doubt,
when reading it, were never spoken. Since
then Ger FOSTER has arrived in this city,
and we find upon inquiry that just as we
expected, the statements of the letter are
utterly destitute of truth, no such remarks
having been made by him, either there or
elsewhere. One can scarcely imagine that
anv man could be so lost TO sense oftruth
as is the abandoned political desperate OF
the Press; but it seems that in his malic.
ious efforts to destroy the Democratic party
and its candidates, there is nothing too
base for him TO do. The deep-seated, bit.
ter grudge he has against General Foster Is,
of course, well known, and that he should
imagine that he can deceive any one is
preposterous in the extreme. His FORREST
letter proves him capable of the perform
ance OF any dishonorable act, and General
Foster need not expect TO escape the faEgs
of one bad enough TO deliberately plan the
destruction of helpless woman. AS the
election approaches look out for double

WRESTLING TO KEEP UP TAEIR COURAGE
The Opposition press IS filled with ficti.
tious stories about t'the weakness" Of The
national Democratic canddat es al the South
and, according TO their stripe, the immense
strength of Douglas and johnson, Bell and
Everett, or Lincoln and Hamlin. Th is blad-
erdash does not deceive anybody. Hone st
doubt about Breckinridge and Lane carry
ing every Southern State, and most OF them
by overwhelming majoriiies, is impossible.
We are daily in receipt OF letters from lead
ing Democrats in different parts of the South
which state that the utmost enthusiasm
prevails among The people for orr gallant
nominees, and that the stories about Doug
las and Bells popularity are pure inven-
'tions. 1t is only necessary to read the
Southern journals, to look at the reports OF
Breckinridge aud Lane Meetings in Tenne-
see, Mississippi, Louisiana, Georgia, Flori-
da, Alabama, North Carolina,-lo be fully
convinced that those who talk of Breck:n-
ridges "weakness" and Douglas and Bells

The Charges against Mr.. Hamlin not yet
sDiSprOyed.

The grave charge preferred against Mr..
HaILIN, the Black Republican candidate
for the Vice Presidency, has not yet been
fairly met, either by unequivocal denial or
satisfactory explanation. That charge is,
that Mr.. HAMLN, while Senator of the
United States, received fees, or emoluments,
or pay to the amour: OF seven thousand dol
lars, lor lobbying bills through Congress-
aud that personally solicited the votes of
members therefor. This charge emanates
from a most respectable and responsible
source. 1t was made openly and publicly.
1t is grave charge, and if true should
blast Mr.. Hamlin in the estimation Of all
upright men. A corrupt, money making
Senator, who sells his votes and his infu-
ence Tor filthy lucre, is not the sort of man
TO be elected 10 the second Office in this
great Republic. To run such a man is 10
insult the nation. 1t should damn the ticket
on which his name is placed and the party
that has the baseness, the dishonesty and
hardihood 10 support ii. 1t is an outrage
| that has no parallel in party contests.
If untrue, it should at once and forever
be set at rest. 1t cannot be passed over in
silence. Ample time for refutation has been
allowed, but no sufficient and satisfactory
refuiaiion of it has yet appeared. The fail
ure to disProve it must be treated AS full
confession of its truth.

our town visit on last Tuesday. The Col
onel looks hale and hearty, and feels in
good spirits. He is presented, by lis coun-
ty, for denomination and election TO the
Senate, from this Senatorial District. There
will be, from present indications, tight
and long pull for this nomination.
Each county in the District has candidate,
with some pretensions 10 claims, asking for
this nomination. To make the matter short,
we hope the other counties will concede the
nomination to the worthy candidate from
this county, M. E. JACKSON, Esq.

Republican Convention.

Our Republican friends met in County
Convention, in the Court House, at This
place, on last Saturday afternoon, and nom
mated the following ticket:
For Congress, they instructed Conferees
10 support George w. Scranton, of T.uzerne
Senator, Frank Stewart, of Berwick, receiv-
ed the Conferees, a0ih instructors, to sup
Fort his nomination; Representative Con-
ferees were appointed, uninstrucied, we
believe, as they presented no candidate
from this county; Prothonotary, Jacob D.
Mellick, Of Scott; Register and Recorder,
Thomas J. Morris, of Bloom Commission
er, Nehemiah Reece, OF Centre; Auditor,
Levi Aikman, of Centre
These are The nominations; and they are,
by our party, as well as portion of their
own, considered rather poor material 10
place before an intelligent people for their
suffrages. A much stronger ticket could
have been framed but this is all the better
for our candidates, besides it goes to show
that they do not understand themselves
There was no contest for any of the nomi
nations. They labor hard to keep up their
organization in this county.

-over one half of the townships were not
represented. Bloom township turned out
well-furnished nearly, If not ons-third of

George w. Lott, was chosen chairman and
Jacob D. Mellick and John Hartman acted

venion, with the exception of the appoint

structions were about to be applied. Some

All business before the Convention being

iean, (who, by the way, is ever ready on
such occasions, 10 give vent to some of his

large portions, towards the Democratic par
| ty,) was called upon to make a speech; but
what is a little singular, this time he politely
declined speaking, rendering the invitation
10 one Mr.. Bonnd, of Milton, who address
ed the Convention over three quarters of an
hour in length, 10 a manner pleasing TO his
Republican friends. He is rather an able
and eloquent speaker, bu, the views which
he advanced in relation TO the tariff, were
altogether antasonistic to those entertained
by the Democratic party. He claimed thai
the Republican party were truly tariff
party and in,imated that their action last
winter, in relation to The Morrill, Bill, was
sufficient to satisfy any right thinking man
that such was the fact. We contend thai
they deserve no credit al our hands for whal
they have thus far done; they only attempt
ed TO set Alright what they in 1881 spoiled
and now ask credit. Just look at the incon
sis,ency!

The Missouri Electiou.

Claiborne +. Jackson, the regular Dem.
ocratc nominee has been elected Governor
of Missouri. Mr. Jackson having announc-
ed previous 10 his election, that he would
vote for Douglas in November, his success
is claimed as Douglas triumph. The facts
disprove the assumption.
Jackson and Reynolds were nominated
for Governor, by State Convention held in
April. That Convention passed, without
one dissenting voice, this resolution -
"I hat the Democratic party of Missouri
hold these cardinal principles on the subject
Congress has no power 10 abolish slavery
in the Territories. I'd. That the Territorial
Legislature has no power to abolish slavery
in any Territory, nor prohibit the introduc-
ton OF slaves therein, nor any power to ex-
clude slavery therefrom by unfriendly leg
islation, nor any power 10 destroy or i'm
pair the right of property in slaves by any
legislation whatever"
The doctrines of this resolution are the
antipodes of those maintained by Mr.. Doug.
las. After the action of the Baltimore Con.
vention, these candidates, being called out
stated that, while standing by the doctrines
of he platform upon which they were nom
mated, they would yet vote for Douglas, con.
sidering him the regular candidate of the
party. This was in July, within few
weeks of the election. They had been can
vassing the State three months. The whole
party were supporting them. Four-fifth:
of the Democratic newspapers, and nearly
all the leading men in The State. like SeEa
tors Green and Polk, advocated their eec
| ton. They asked the votes of the Demo
cratic people on the ground that they were
the regular nominees of the party, withou
| reference 10 their Presidential views, ant
upon that ground received them and were
elected. If the election indicates anything
it is an endorsement by Missouri of the res
olution we have quoted, which was advo
Gated by the successful candidates on ever
stump, and which covers the whole groun
of the platform on which Mr. Breckinridg
stands in the pending canvass. 1t is not
