We preserved, and have before us, a
the Star 4. Chronicle Office, handbill fol
a Democratic meeting at Mifflnburg, Sat
urday, Oct. 1, 1886, which reads thus:

Previous to and since that time, Demo
Gratis have had ample time and power L
prore their decot;9n 10 "FrceRom Jor KIn
sas." And how do they prove it? Why
BY abolishing the Missouri Compact, anl
rc.orening the Northwest to Slavery
by their wicked war to Africanize the tret
soil-by devastating, and numbering anti
slavery settlers, burning houses, destroying
presses of freemen-by stufing ballot
boxes-by the LecomptOn Constitution,
Offering to admit Kansas at once as Slave
State, but keeping her out of the Union
if she would not submit to Slavery-by
Democratic Governors trampling upon
popularity sovereignty in ve,oingthe act:
ofthe KaLsas and Nebraska Legislatures
abolishing the Slavery imposed upon them
and by rejecting every Bill which the
Republicans passed iu the U. S. House oil
Rep. for the Admission of Kansas. (Orc
g,n was admitted with half the population
of KanslsD
Ttjs is "Dcmocracy 1aJoriag tor Free
dom jor Kansas'" And thi, party, en-
dorsing every act of Buchanan in kansa:
and elsewhere, nominated the man Eos
TER for G Governor of Pennsylvania, on tha
platform.
If tha; be "laboring for FREEDOM fol
Kansas" what would "labOriug for SLA-
VERY for Kansas" be?
Will men Of common sense be cheated
again?
s1s-The L,ck HIuen Democrat states
that Gov. Pollock signed bill! repeating
the Tonnage Tax; and, as Gel. Curtin
had an Office under him, assumes that the
latter approved the act. Now, in the first
Mace. We know Of DO such Act ever lav-
ing been passed. What We suppose the
Democrat refers to, was bill IN which
the Penn'a L. L. Company proposed TO
ray bonus Of 81, 100000 to the State,
as a total release from the Tonnage Tax
which vas quite different thing from en-
tirely releasing it from taxation. Second
ly, we suppose Gov. Pollock was the Ex-
ecutive, and he only is responsible for bis
own deeds it is gratutous assumption
that his aEro;ntces, however confidential,
l,c to be held responsible for his decisions
As to the disapprOyal or approval Of Spo-
ciic Act.-As to the probability in the
case, read the article on our first page
from an Allentown paper, and the fol
lowing:
TIE TONNAGE TAx-The nomination
Of lIcury h. Foster, late attorney fer the
PENNSYLVANIA Railroad, for Governor, and
the fac; that Wm. 4. Stokes, the railroads
present principal attorney, is working
for him, bctoken that an effort will be
made to repeal the tonnage tax next win
ter. Ia Huntingdon, John Scott, railroad
attorney, bas been nominated as the Dem
ocralic candidate for Senator, aud in Nii-
FIN county the Democracy has kept as
omuious silence on this subject as on the
Presidency, leaving their candidate eu-
tceiy free, if elected. We commend this
state Of things to the honest portion Of
the Democrats who are opposed to the re-
rtal Of this tax. Let them remember
tuat Mr.. Foster was railroad attorney, at
q lirh salary, when be was member of
fLc Legislature, and made more than one
speech IL favor Of that monopoly"
Foster, who is now the candidate of the
s'qrery extensionists for Governor, voted
