WM, 7. CUTTER. JR.
New YORK. May ], 1864.
Mr.. VIM. T. CUTTER Jr., Louisville, Ky.)-Dear
Sir The great difficulty in procuring brandy sni-
cienty pure for medicinal purposes has induced
many of the physicians of this vicinity to adopt
Bourbon Whisky as substitute. both in the hospi-
tails and private practice and since the latter has
come into such general use, we have reason to be-
leYe that great deal now sold is of very inferior
quality.
Presuming that your residence in the vicinity of
the manufacturers of Whisky in Kentucky, as well
as your skill a chemist will enable you to select
a reliable article, and having full confidence in your
integrity, we are led to inquire whether you will
not aid us in having this market supplied, through
an agency, with the best quality of

past few months, twenty-threc thousand
of our citizens have gone forth to the
field. These men are scattered over the
whole country, and owing to the active
operations now in progress, it has been
for the commissioners appointed
for that purpose to obtain all their votes.
Thousands and thousands of votes have
thus been lost to the Union party, which
party can only be depended on to feed the
army wi tn fighting material.
Under these circumstances, the COM
mittee regard the victory achieved as a
grand triumph, and congratulate the coun-
try upon it. The reelection Of Mr.. Lin
cola is certain. In November, the State
will give greatly increased majority
There will be but two tickets, and party
lines will be more distinctly drawn. No
local jealousies or differences will divide
our friends, and, united on the great issue,
Pennsylvania will poll vote for Lincoln
and johnson which will prove that she is
second to none of her sister States in de-
votion to the Federal Government.

Death of Chier-Justice Taney.

Rodger Brooke Taney, Chief-Justice of
the Supreme Court cf the United States,
died in Washington, on "Wednesday even
ing, Oct. II, after an illness % a few days.
Descended from family of English Ro-
man Catholics, which settled in Maryland
about the middle of the seventeenth cen
tury, he was born in Calvert county, Nd,
March II, 1777, and was consequently in
his eighty-eighth year at the time OF his
death. He was graduated at Dickinson
College, Carlisle, Pa, in 1875, admitted
in 1899 to the bar of his native county,
from which he was elected delegate to
the General Assembly, and in 1901
removed his place of residence to Freder-
lex. In 1922 he removed to Baltimore,
having previously served as Senator in the
Legislature of the State during term of
four years. He was appointed Attorney
General of Maryland in 1927, and in 1881
was appointed Attorney General of the
United States by President Jackson. Du-
ring the contest of the Administration
with the Bank of the United States, upon
the dismissal of Mr.. Duane from the Office
on account Of his refusal 20 remove the
deposits, MIR. fancy was appointed his
successor, and Immediately ordered the
transfer of the deposits to the local banks
selected by him as the agents of the Gov
ernment. The Senate refused TO confirm
the nomination by vote of % to Is, in
June, 1884. In the following year, he
was nominated by President jackson as
an associate justice of the Supreme Court,
but he was virtually rejected by the Sen
ate, which indefinitely postponed the con-
sideration of the subject on the last day
Of the term. Upon the death of Chief
Justice Marshall, he was appointed his
successor by President Jackson, and was
confirmed by the Senate in March, 1886,
that body having changed its political
relations. He took his seat upon the
Supreme bench in January, 1887, and
held the Office until the time of his death.
Chief-J ustice Taney gained an unenviable
notoriety by his famous decision in the
Dred Scott case, ruling that "negroes,
whether slaves or free, were regarded for
long time previous to the Declaration of
Independence as beings of an inferior
order, with no rights which the white
man was bound to respect and therefore
were not included among the. "people'
in the terms of that instrument. and had
no claims to be regarded as citizens of the
United States.

By reference to the table of electi On
returns for Cambria county, it will be
seen that, whereas Johnston, opposition
candidate for Congress, runs eight votes
behind the average majority of his party,
and s,z votes ahead of the eaverage strength
of his PARTY, Barker, Union, runs secen-
teen votes ahead of the next highest can
didate on his ticket, and trenty. four votes
ahead of the average strength of his party.
This fatteriDg state of affairs is undoubt-
edly due to the efforts of the Dem. 6 Sent.
and the Johnstown Democrat, which pa
pers, by stigmatizing Barker as "Maine
Yankee" "blue-bellied Abolition:st,"
an "iguorant old CLOWN and all that,
nrepossessed the masses OF the people in
his favor, and made them his friends to
the extent of their sufrages. 1t would
be policy in UnioG men to contribute to
the support of these journals, for, so long
as they exist will they lie aud SANDER
as heretofore, and their lying and SIAN
dering cannot but rebound to the great
benefit Of the Union party.

Mr.. Pendleton cannot feel fattered by
the treatment he receives from the Demo-
cratic press of the east. They rarely or
never mention his name. They do not
expatiate upon his merits. We really
think that they have not said SO much as
the Republican leaders in commendation
of his personal qualities. They do not
dwell at all upon his political views
When openly challenged, they decline to
commend or explain his record. They
keep a stubborn silence in respect to him,
as family sometimes does about son of
whom the parents and brothers and sisters
are ashamed. They seem to think that if
they say nothing about Pendleton and the
Chicago platform, they can keep both him
and it out of sight. We hope that Mr..
Pendleton enjoys this position which be
occupies.
But the people will not forget who he
is or for hat Office he is running. They
viii not forget that they cannot vote for
Mcclellan without voting for him. They
will not forget that M'Clellan has no
immunity from the ordinary mortal lot of
man, though the extravagant and fuisome
praises of him by some of his adorers
luOlCdtS tiaI 1hCsc iSSdiu uiiii do q uChi-
god. The death of Harrison and the
death of Taylor are fresh in the memory
of us all. In casting our votes we are
bound to consider the contingency of the
death of the first candidate oD the ticket
and the accession of the second in his
place. If a man is disposed to vote for
Mcclellan, he is bourd to ask himself
whether be can conscientiously do it,
when by that act he tries to place an
avowed peace man within one step of
the Presidential chair He must remem-
ber that Pendleton has declared that if
the Southern States wished to go, they
should be allowed to depart, and we should
dismiss them with tender tokens of love.
He must reflect upon the consequences of
having such man at the head of our
Government during the critical period
which is before us. The Democratic trick
of keeping still about Pendleton in the
hope chat his offensive doctrines will be
overlooked, will not succeed.

Address of the Union state Cen.
tral Com mittee.
VICTORY | VICTORY VICTORY

The returns of the late election, now in
the possession Of this committee, enable it
to announce that Pennsylvania has deci-
ded against all armistices, and attempts at
peace, until rebellion is broken and trea-
son disarmed. True to her past history,
the Keystone State arrays herself by the
side of Ohio and Indiana, and proclaims
to the world her confidence in an Admin
istration true to the Union Of the States,
and her intention to sustain that Admin
istration in power until the Union is re-
stored.
The Union party have carried the State,
gained three members of Congress, and
elected majority of both houses of the
Legislature, on the home vote, and the
soldiers vote as far as received indicates
the gain of two more members of Con-
gress, and clear Union majority of fif-
teen thousand votes. This is a most
gratifying result, and should fill the heart
of every loyal man with joy It's impor-
tance cannot be overestimated in view of
the fact that. some seventeen thousand
soldiers whe came home last year and
voted for Gov. Curtin are now absent with
the army, and are yet to be heard from.
Besides, it is computed thai, under the
last call Of the President, and within the
