G-The Republican Union committee
OF Snyder county are to meet in Middle.
burg, Saturday, 18th inst, to carry into
effect the Crawford county system of
making nominations, us was ordained BY
the popular vote last year, and the obser.
vance of which, then, would have ensured
Union Representative in Congress.
We trust our friends in Juniata will
take the same course. With the present
feeling there, it will be unsafe to accept
candidate for Assembly from that coun.
ty, unless be is endorsed by the popular
vote, independent of the juggling Of
caucus and the wrangling of factions. Mr..
Sentincl! please call attention to the mat
ter, and aid the honest masses in forming
their Ticket, independent Of both selfish
eliques that so distract ou, party.
We learn that Robert Hummel,
(brothcr of James, who had been drafted
but skulked from duty, was arrested last
week in Snyder county, with several
others in like case, and sent to Harrisburg.
Robert had threatened terrible things, but
was taken while asleep behind some hor.
ses, By officer Gebhart aud others. One
Geo. Hummel, Jr., was found guilty of
an aggravated assault, upon Union man
In Middlecreek, fined, and imprisoned,
iast weeks Court. These acts of lawful
authority have tended to COW down the
bad spirit evoked in that quarter by des.
pe.ate political gamblers.
