The Journals Veraoity again at Fault
Our neighbor is becoming shamelcssly
unscrrpulous oG late; and ialsehooa pal
pable, unqualified and bare,na>ed-ap
pears to answer its purpose as veil as thu
truth.
In its last issue, in speaking of party
organizations, it says, "in some places par.
ty lines have been disregarded"
When, where, and by whom? or where
has proposition to that effect even been
offered by the Republican party, except in
districts where that porty is hopelessly in
the minority? How was it in the second
Congressional district in Philadelphia p
Did the Republicans there offer to "disro-
gard party lines?" On the contrary, they
Indignantly spurnod all offers 10 DO 90
nominated one Of their most violent par
Ezan leaders on a strict party plogorm, and
had him handsomely beaten by sound
national Democrat, and q member of the
odious breckenridge wing" of his party (;
and in district, too, which gave some
two thousand majority against the Demo
Gratis last fall And how is it now in the
strong Rebublican counties, such as Ches-
ter, Dauphin, Lancaster Lebanon, &c {?
Is there any disposition shown in any of
these to disregard party lines ?"
Our neighbor need not point Us to the
Luzerne district When the Democrats
succeeded in nominating Col. Wright the
Republicans knew that the game was up
with them, and that it would be perfectly
useless to try to defeat him.
1t is true, that in Butler county, a fuss|
ion nomination was made. But with what
result? Why, the Republicans thus nom
mated, have declined; and the party isl
nov making arrangements to nominate a
straight-out Republican ticket.
But our Eeighbor goes on and says: -
"the ClsayfeH Republican, the organ of the |
Breckenridge wing Of the party, gives no, |
tice that now is the time for party organs
ization, and eXhorts its followers with
great earnestness to organize their forces.
There Is, therefore, n9dmg lN but for those oil
d.1trcm sentiments to do EEcgise"
Let US now zee how this bold assertion
tNllies with the facts:
On the SH Of Nay last, the Journal an
nounced the Republican County Commit,
tee, with A. c. Finney, Esq who, as
wings" seem to be ofsome Importance to
oar neighbor, we Will designatea as belorg.

part AS its chairman.
On he 22a Of Ly-two weeks later
L. J. Grams, Esq, Chairman Of the Demo.
cratic County Committee, called tie frs,I
needing Of said Committee for the lOH |.'
J;o,c. The meeting took place on the day
appointed. Not ,oord ,cas heard from Mc'
RepuJlcanS on tie subject Of "diregar5iagp par.
" Hnc8." The Committee adjourned to
meet again on the Ith ogJuly. They did
so meet, and proceeded TO make the usual
arrangements for organizing the party
and the Chairman now informs US that,
up to this time, he has not heard the fir,l
word from the Republican Committee on
the subject.
Such are the facts, and we leave the
public to fix their own estimation upon
the veracity Of an editor, who, with such
cool deliberation, attempts to misrepre. c
sent facts so notorious, and thereby de. f
coiye and mislead his friends.
The charge that the Republican is the
"organ Of the Breckenridge" or any olh>
er wing of the Democratic party, is
equally falsej and it may be some comfort ,
to the legal branch Of the editorial depart. ,
mont Of the JolnuaL to know, that among
The most jealous supporters Of our paper
and tho warmest endorscrs of its present ,
course, are the leading supporters Of tho {

We agree with the Journal that "lhcre !
can be but two parties on the great ques, {
