Democrat and sentinel. [volume] (Ebensburg, Pa.) 1853-1866, 1862-09-24
The legislature.


The next Legislative body of this State /
will be to the people of Pennsylvania, of
more than usual Importance, and we feel |
it to be our duty to again warn the people |
of the necessity of elccting Messrs. Wal !
lace and Pershin@. because there are many (
United States Senators whose terms of
office expire on the 4th of next March,
amongst which is that of Dave Wilmot,
fanatic who put in his full term in agita-
ting sectional questions, calculated only to
distract the people. Now this mans
course has been applauded and endorsed
by the Abolition party. which has again
placed him on the arena for reelection at
the meeting of our next Legislature, and
Democrats if you stand idly by and not
lend a helping hand to your sinking coun-
trv-if vou allow this bad man to AGAIN
ride into power, which he will asSurcdlv
DO if You vote for Lewis w. Hall, the
blame, the shame and remorse will rest
upon yourselves. for YOU are the sovereigns
and having the power did not prevent it:
And we sound no idle alarm, when we
tell YOU that the AbolitioniS;s fully aware
of the Importance OF majority In our
next legislature, have laid a deep and in
tricate scheme 10 secure that cnd-thrv
will leave no means un:ricd and by every
species of sophistry they viii end,avor to
get Your votcs-thev will tell vou that
iIa>>rs. Hall and Cooper are the Poo
pies candidates and that while thr coun-
try Is now engaged in ci,il war there
should be no party.-they will tell YOU
that Mr.. Hail i a clever man aal tina; he
Is Willing to give up party for the sake Of
of the Union and all this kind Of thing.
But beware, and we warn YOU, Demo
crats, not to listen TO this jar=ou, for this
"no party" :. Peoples party" Is AboIi-
ton und,r another appeiiation.
Democrats, let us, then, unit, upon
each AMI every man on The whole ticket.
which l. composed OF good and reliable
men. .dved in the wool" AMI Who stood
by the party in the hour oi tribua-
ton when our principles were wantonly
assailcd. Ii l. needless mere. to
mention the names of AI,~Srs- Per-
siiu@, NDonald, Noon and the other
men who compose the County ticket. "a
they are all well and f;rvorlbIy known
throughout the county, and viii receive
the entire party vote; but it l. to the Dis
trict candidates we would caH attention:
We have elsewhere spoken of Mr. Meal
lister. and perhaps We could not speak
more or better for Mr.. Wallace than by
quoting from a paper printed in hi- own
town, the Cleartic,d H.j,5hrm. Read
what it says:
1T Is not necessary that We should
say Il single word III behalf of MT. Wal
lace. Raised in our midst from early
childhood and In active business inter
course with our citizens even from boy
hood. no man i bettc:. and We venture II
add, no one Is more t;Ivorably known. His
talents are of Il superior order, and pos
ScSslng an energy, q perseverance, and an
industry uneNcellcd, he has risen 10 emf
ncnce in the profession of the law, and in
every respect l. calculated To make one of
the most valuable public servants. No
man Possesses a more thorough knowledge
OF the wants and expectations of the pco-
pie. To him, the welfare of the man who
earns his daily bread by the sweat OF his
brow i of a. much importance as that of
any other member OF the community.
Nor does any man more properly appre-
ciate thc important. the peculiar, and the
varied interests of the district whose wei
fare he would be called upon 10 regard:
and We venture to say that no man would
labor more zealous!y to DO justice TO each
OF them"
