The Administration Ticket.

and has an experience which ought to be
possessed by every man representing a
district in this national crisis His oppo-
nent for aught We know may be an estlma-
BILE man, but the fact that his partisan pro-
clivities are in antagonism to the admins
tration, and that he is supported by the
tory element in the district, ought to make
every voter ponder on the propriety of
electing members of that stamp. That
truly conservative democrats are not accep-
table to the Vallandigham faction is evil
denced by the factious opposition made to
Hon. Joseph Bailey of Perry county, who
in his speeches and votes proved himself an
uncompromising opponent of the rebellion;
and although the choice of Perry and Cum
berland, York county sent six con!erees to
balance those two counties, and now sup
ports that political trimmer A. j. Gloss
brenner In this district, the Lewistown
Democrat, whose editor defended Yancey,
JEFF Davis, Cobb and .rebeldom generally
long after all loyal men had shrunk from
their hellish treason, is one of the most
ardent supporters of Mr.. McAllister; and
until he discards such association, he will
be judged by the company he is in.
The Perry Freeman, in noticing our
candidate for Senator, says: Major Haines
is so we'll known in this county that it
would be useless to say anything about
him. He is extensively known in every
county in the Senatorial dtstsict. On
the great question of the day, to wit !:
the maintenance of the Union and the
Constitution, he is sound AMI reliable
He is in favor of the most vigorous meas
9fes for the crushing out of this causeess
and wicked rebellion. No sound Union
man in the district need hesitate moment
in casting his vote for Major Haines.
Our candidate for Assembly, HOLMES
MACLAY, is we'll known throughout the
county as strict business man and ster-
ling supporter of the war measures of the
administration, and will support it without
any ifs or Guts found in the mouths of
Buchanan advocates. His opponent was
one of those who fell in with the Breckin-
ridge disorganizing %ovement at Charles
ton in the last presidential campaign; and
however loyal he may be, it is certain that
the New York Day Book faction and every
man who has given expression to disloyal
sentiments, is supporting and will vote for
him. In. connection with this, we may
here notice one Of the smallest attempts at
electioneering that has yet come to our
knowledge. Some of Mr. Ross's friends
are industriously circulating the story that
if he will be elected the tonnage tax will
be restored, and in one case at least it was
added that Mr.. Maclay would vote against
its restoration We do not know that the
question will be brought up next winter,
unless to make political capital for some
sore headed members, but if it is, we feel
satisfied from Mr.. Ross's course last winter
that Mr. Maclay would be quite as safe a
representative on that score as the former,
and perhaps little more so,
For Commissioner the nominee is SAM,
UEL DRAKE, worthy farmer of Wayne,
whom all that know him endorse as honest
and capable, and likely to make faithful
guardian of the taxpayers interests. He
is located too in the right quarter-a fact
which ought to command every vote for
him up the river while our opponents,
adhering to their old fogy notion of nomi.
mating candidates in rotation as they did
when nomination was equivalent to an
election, have taken one from the valley,
which is now and will be for two years to
come, represented in the board. We have
no acquaintance with Mr. Hazlett, but by
all accounts he is bitter partisan Of the
ultra school,
| NATHANIEL G. WILSON, of McVeytown
who We think led our ticket three years
ago, has been again nominated for Pro
thonotary, and certainly deserves an elec.
ton. Personally we have not the slightest
objection to his opponent, Judge Wilson
yet we must confess we cannot see why he
should desire the office at ALL He cannot
attend to the duties himself, and would
therefore have to perform them by deputy
thus materially lessening the income of ar
Office not oyer-pro6table to one man.
