The national men who supported Bell
and Everett In the late Presidential can,
yass. we believe, may now bo counted In
the ranks OF the Democratic party, TIE
only olhcr political organization IN this
state is the enemy of the Democratic par.
", Who has rallied once more under the
d designation Of tho Peoples Party. This
party held their convention at Harris
bnrg on ,hc l1th inst, ard their trEo
character is abundanlly shown in that IN
their resolutions they culogizo and sustain
Senator Wllmot whilclhcy condemn Sens
ttor Cowan, both by the homage paid to
Mr.. Wilmot, and hy refusing to Mr. Cow,
an even the need Of the faint praise
The distinguishing feature in the political
course of those two Senators, IL is well
known IS, that Mr.. Wilmot has supported
the EXTREMIST abolition measures OF the
present Congress, whilst Mr. COwan has
won the admiration and confidence OF cy-
cry Union loving patriot IN the land by
his honest and fearless opposition to these
mCasuI measures that tended TO make
diSunlun perpetual.
Can any loyal man in the State, there
fore hesitate which of the two political
organizations is entitled to his support
The standard bearers selected 10y the
Domn cratic State Convention are in every
res1"c worthy Of your confidence.
Isaac Slenkcr, ESQ., our candidate for Au'
dltor General, is gentleman OF distin,
guI>hed ability and spoTess reputation

cal course and well tried integrity OF Isaac
Slenkar, Is known to many OF the people
OF Pennsylvania. in 1891 he was elected
to rc"rcsent Union and northumberland
counties in the Senate of Pennsylvania :
ana while to many Senators in that body
yieIueu TO the influences that we're ON.
ployed by the Bank OF tho United States
TO obtain It's charter from a PENNSYLVANIA
Legislature, Isaac Slenker, with eleven
oJhers, as honest men, resisted these in.
iiuences, and won the reputation of faith,
fn among the faithless lie was upon
the judiciary Committee of the Senate
and took an active part in the revision Of
our civil code. At the expiration of his
Senatorial term, Mr.. Senker, returned
again TO the Practice Of his profession as
lawyer and since then has been out of
public position, except that in 1856 he
was one OF the Presidential Electors ON
the democratic ticket in this State, Mr..
Sienker Is gentleman of commanding
abilities highly exemplary in his habits
OF lite; OF great industry and purity Of
character.
Col. James ?. Barr our candidate for
Surveyor General, is the editor and pro>
prieIor OF the Pittsburg Post, newspaper
that since Mr.. Bars connection with il.
has ever been the advocate Of sound Na,
tionaI principles. During the present
civil war the Post has ably advocated the
prosecution OF the war Tor the suppression
OF the rebellion, and the preservation of
the Constitution and the Union. At the
same time 1t has been unsparing in its
hostility to tina. disloyal party or comb,
nation that has sought to prostitute such
war to the nero purpose Of negro cman.
cpaton,and to that policy in CONDUCTING
1t that necessarily tends to make ,lisur;o1
perpetual, and TO destroy our republican
form Of government. Mr.. Barr like Mr.
Sienkor, is Pennsylvania 10y birth, born
IN the county Of Wcstmoreland-is is a prac>
teal printer-has raised himself to a
proud political business position by his
industry and energetic character, and is
gentleman Of prcmptness and integrity
III all his private and political relations.
While our Candidates have great reason
70 entertain q Just price that thcy have
been selected as the standard bearers of
great national party, struggling to main.
tain the Union and Constitution against
dangerous and insidious assaults oftheirI
enemies, still, that party may well con,
graduate itself that it is so worthilv reprc.
sented in its standard bearers.
Fellow countrymen, great issue is be,
!ore you-it involves the momentous con |
sldcration whether our Constitution ard
Uninn shall be preserved or whether
Abolition loes North, or SECESSION foes
Sol t shall destroy thcml Every patriot
IN the land should know and feel that the
only chance for the preservation of our
present Government, its Constitution and
the Union based thereon, is in tue success
of the Democratic party Of the free States
at the next election If Eve fail, then all |
Is lost, and tue hitherto glorious fabric of
our once great Government, will fall into
the abyss OF anarchy or else upon its rus
ms despotsm will be roared
In either event our future will he mark.
ed by desolatod homes, ruined fortunes.
the deprivation of personal liberty and
personal security, and very possibly our
soil and our streams be Redeemed with the
blood of our own people. Under such
circumstances sc appeal TO every loyal
Pennsylvania to do his duty, by riyinc
his energies, his Influence, and his vote TO
insure the success o! the Democratc party.
