GEN. CAAER0N'S OPERATIONS TO EFFECT
HIS ELECTION TO TIE U. S. SENATE!
Statement Of T. Jefferson Boyer, Member
Of Assembly from Clearfeld County.

To the Editors Of the Patriot and Union:
AS many rumors are afoat in regard to GER
tain transactions which took place between
General Cameron and myself on several occa-
sions previous to the late election Of the Uni
ted States Senator, think my duty to make a
plain unyarnished statement Of the facts, so
that there may be hereafter no misunderstan-
ding ormisrepresentation Believing that there
would be attempts to bribe members in order
to defeat the election of Democrat, l conce-
we'd the project of putting myself in the way
of the operators, and trying how far they were
disposed to go in the matter. Once conceived,
| determined to act upon it, and communicated
my intention to several friends. The first op-
porIunity that offered embraced-and here is
the result:
l had been to Philadelphia, and on my re-
turn perhaps a week or more before the cleo
tion,I met Mr.. VIM. Brobst, of Lewisburg
with whom | was acquainted at the Pennsyl-
vania House, in Harrisburg, for the first time
this winter, and noticed some unusual nervous
ness on his part, and from his conduct was soon
led to suspect that his business at Harrisburg
was not Of very public character. In the ai-
ternoon he came to me and asked tosee me phi
vately, and we proceeded at once to my room,
where he very soon commenced disparaging the
several prominent Democratic candidates for
United States Senator and concluded by express
sing his decided preference for G Gen. Simon Cam
cron. This, of course left me no room to doubt
the object of his visit to the State Capital and
to me, and / at once asked him whether that
was the object Of his visit He said it was In
reply TO my question, whether General Gamer

he said he was authorized by Cameron to see
any Democrat of the House or Senate, and en-
terinto The preliminary arrangements to secure

manner they expected to secure the election of
Cameron. He answered, "by getting three
Democrats to absent themselves on the day of
the election" then asked him what they
wouldspay. He said lie was authorized by Cam
eron to offer $4,000 1 told him the figures
were too low, and desired him to tell me who
the other members were. This he refused to
do at the time, but would try and get perms-
sion of his principal to do so. He then left,
and returned in a short time, and said that
General Cameron wanted to see me, personally,
at his residence out of the city that evening.

nominated. To this l made some pretended
objection, and demanded to know the necessity
for it. Simon SAID il was this, that unless |
did this they might think he just wanted their
d---d nomination for effect, which was not
true. He declared he would not have the nom
ination and defeat for the whole Legislature.
So, of course, consented, and the voting price
was voluntarily raised $4,000. Patterson said
the gentleman who would wait on me there was
DIR. Fuller, of the Senate; who would be pres

that was all right, but must now be convinced
that the money was all right too. Patterson
then hurricdly showed Inc 81 large bundle OF
notes, which he represented as being the amount
of the final payment. He assured me the day
before should have the hand money, and a
gain on Tuesday morning said could have it.
told him I deemed it better, on reflection,
not to have it about me. inasmuch as there
might be q row after the election, and said
would trust it to them Patterson and Cameron,)
knowing them to be honest. Patterson again
assured me the hand money was down in the
safe, and, together with the residue, should be
forthcoming as soon as theelection was over

to which our experience and observation point.

"Counter-R evolutionistsW

That sage and far-sighted individual, the ed
itor of the Inquirer, has discovered that there
is a new party in this county, which, for polite
ness sake, we presume, he denomi ''Coun-
ter Revolutionists" We are somewhat at n
loss to know what this profound etymo!ogist
means by "Counter Revolutionists." The pre-
fix, counter, signifies, against; hence to be ''cOnn-
ter-revolutonists, we must be against rer0'ution,
or, in other words. gsroluoniee against reuolatoa.
Therefore, there must be revolution before there
can be counter-revolution. Consequently, the
Inquirer man admits that the present administra-
ton is revolutionary and in rebellion against the
Constitution which it processes to administer.
If he does not mean this, what does he mean
He certainly can't have reference to that ''cou,-

Oapture of Arkansas Post,


The Federal expedition under Gen. McCler-
nand, which, under the command of Gen. Sher-
man, attempted but failed to capture Vicksburg,
succeeded in surprising and capturing Arkansas
Post, a fortified village on Arkansas river. The
following from the Chicago Post, is about as re-
liable an account of the capture as can be OBJ
tanned:
From gentleman who left Arkansas Post
on Monday evening following the capture OF
that place by General McClernand, we learn
that the number of prisoners taken cannot cx-
ceed 1000, as that was currently said to be
the total strength of the. Rebel garrison at that
place. The losses in killed and wounded We're
about equal, and did not exceed three hundred
on either side Arkansas Post is on the east
side (left handy of the river, and boasted of one
store blacksmith shop and a grocery There
is road running from the place to ST. Charles,
on White river. The distance across is thirty
miles.
1t is reported that a Rebel force was at St.
Charles, where the Notifications are very for
midable General German had goneup White
river with view of taking that place. The
capture of Arkansas Post will prevent the Reb-
els from placing battery at Cypress bend, be-
low Napoleon, on the Mississippi, where it
was feared they would seriously obsluct the
passage of transports on the way to Vicksburg.
The Rebel General Holmes sent away most of
his forces from Little Rock two weeks ago to
some point down the river. 1t may be that he
has concluded to make stand at ST. Charles.
If so, an early engagement will take place there
abouts.
