Keep it Before the People,

mat y. y. brleDin only got $lUU,uU 1ur the
county printing. and this is the sum long
since fixed by the Democrats themselves. and
the edtora of the Watchmdn well know that
the Commissioners have always been bound
to pay for all extra printing as it occurs, and
to show how little party prejudices inAu-
enced the Comm issioners, or Mr.. Hutctison,
q, the Watchmdn has it, we will state the
amount of extra printing that has been given
to the Democratic papers for 1859 and 1860:
1859, F. Kurtz, $3.50, Watchnan, sl3O,5O
1860, 4" 23 so, Sc, co.
showing party liberality utterly unknown
30 any Democratic Board that has ever sat in
this county, and showing the utter falseness
Of the reeklessly lying charges in the Vatch-
man. The oay effect of the infamously false
charges Of the Watchman, will be to make
the people appreciate Mr.. Hutchison m more
hishly. if possible, as il has dawn out facts
that might not otherwise have appeared in his
favor, and especially has it shown him 10 be
one Of the most economical Commissioners
that the county has ever had.
Keep it Before the People,
That Ira Fisher did not grant the Court
Room to Mr. Patterson to preach in, aud the
man who says so knows that be lies neither
do Republican Commissioners grant the
Court Room TO any but county meetings.
They think that the room has been made
neat and beautiful one by the peoples mon
ey, and that it should be kept for the use Of
the county business alone and taxpayers,
do you not think so too7
Bat this town is well supplied with church
es, and any minister OF character netd be at
no loss for place to preach. Churches were
made to preach in; but il man has not
character enough to get church to preach
in. would il add to the character Of the Court
Room and tie Commissioners 70 furnish him
oar hall Of Justice at the expense Of the tax
payers of the county, simply because be bad
not character enough TO get into church
We slightly think not.
Keep it Before the People,
That the Treasurer Of the county does not re-
ceive one cent of pr, fit on the renewal of
any note that it is necessary to throw into
Bank, though 1t is true that Mr. Burlington,
ulder Democratic Commissioners, did get
per cent on each renewal or 20 per cent an
nually, this is one of Mr. Hutchison's re-
forms, and no Treasurer can get more than
5 per cent while he is in office.
Keep it Before the People.
That 4. Boyd Hutchison did get sl4l 90 for
TrantcribiRg books because he agreed TO do
il lower than any other man would under
take 10 do it, and keep it also before them
that Theophlus Muffiy got $l69 90 for less
than half the work ard that be got from the
Democratic Commissioners just the year be-
fore MIR. Hutchinson came irto Office. Oh,
how beautiful the WatchmGn exalts Mr..
Hutchinson by it's delicious attacks ard the
beauty cf il is, tha, it calls the facts. every
one Of which is subs:aniated by the books
of the ofice, aud shows Mr. Hutchinson to be
tho peoples friend in the care that he has
omy with which to has conducted the affairs
of the office. The Watchnan says that Mr..
Hutchinson had one hundred and sixty days
service in one year, now we simply say to
every man in Centre County to call at the
Commissioners tifice and see what magnif-
icent lie this is, they will just show 70 days
charged to the county, while the Democratic
Commissioners of 1858 draws $l95, 40, ard
Henry Keller the only Republican in the
Board that year, draws $40. These facts
ara taker from the Books of the Office and
cannot be controserted. Voters OF Centre,
how do you ike Democratic Ecauomy? you
ha,e to pay we'll for it. but is it worth tie
price.
