Whereas, an extraordinary state Of affairs,

ca The Selinsgrove Times, Of last week
publishes speech delivered by Isaac Slenker,
ESQ., on the 4th of July last, which con tains
the following patriotic sentiment. Mr.
Slenkpr is candidate for President Judge
10 that district -
"Patriotism will not permit us now, while
our couDtry is 10 this fearful crisis, to inquire
who is a Democrat or who is Republican.
II is the duty Of both Democrat aud Repub-
lican, to dvcst himself Of all political and
partizan feeling, ond to act in the character
and with the feelings of patriot"
Every good citizen and every true Demo
crat will endorse that sentiment. But in the
very next column there is On ARTICLE from the
Freemdn's journal, a traitorous organ iu
New Y ork which has been suppressed by the
Government, which contains the following
reasonable paragraph, expressing sentiments
directly in opposition to those Of Mr.

others by design. Such, however is the

THE NORTHERN CENTRAL RA,IeoAp.

The Northern Central Railroad has been
assailed by certain parties n New York and
elsewhere, because the government has hcen
forced to use it's great facilities and shorter
route TO the federal capital for the trauspor-
tation OF troops. These parties take advan-
tage Of every accident on that road to
denounce its management, and thus If
possible destroy its popularity and usefulness,
but when the facts in the case are brought
before the public, as 10 the case of the late
accident, when several soldiers were killed
and others severely injured, the circumstan.
ces exonerate the agents OF the road and
completely viudcste and sustain its manage.
ment.
The latest cry. and the meahest opposition
waged are those by roads running from New
York through Philadelphia and Baltimore to
Washington. Parties interested 10 these
roads, with their runners and barkers are
constantly bowling at the government because
the Northern Central Railroad is used for the
transportation Of troops from the northeast
and east to Washington.
When we state that a saving Of $4,000 is
made on each regiment forwarded to Wash.
ington from the east over the Northern
Central road, the public will understand
why that corporation is preferred to all
others, and when the additional fact is made
known that all trans.sbipment is also
avoided, the preference will be commended
not only on the policy of economy, but
as matter Of safety, accommodation and
speed.
