Correspondence,

OscEoLA, June IL, lSOO
Mn. EpiToR Dear Sir AS there
is \ great deal bcing said, at the pres
ent time, by the Journals Of I'll parties,
in every quarter Of the State, in ref.
ercncc to the-next Legislature, aud
tho expressed anxiety and wish every
/ where that the material composing
the next shall be the antipode, in
every respect, Of the last, thought,
perhaps. that il would not be out OF
place for the voters of this district to
be turning their undivided attention
to the nomination which they will
shortly be called upon to make, We
have never YET sent representative
J, TO Harrisburg whose course we could
not fully endorse and we should still en-
deavor to keep our record clean. The
experience oflast fall should be warn
Ing to us for all time to come. The
advantage taken by the Republicans
of the temporary disaffection that
made its appearance in our ranks at
that time, is still fresh upon our mem
cries. Let us use our best endeavors
to avoid repetition of that disaffcc-
ton, and Illustrate that growing dis
position on the part of our. enemies
TO break down our organization.
/ only recur TO the past to give
warning for the future; for i feel my
self that the least said today of what
5 has occurred is for the best. Under
no circumstances would / have done
so. had it not been for the intimation
/ thrown out to me, from avery reliable
, quarter, that last years proceedings
| would be repeated at the next meet
, ing of the confcrees; and it must be
apparent to all, that the Democracy
] of the district should see TO it at once
! that harmony prevails in our councils,
: If the present aspirants to that posi-
S ton cannot secure the harmony so
' much desired, let some new name be
r introduced that can; and it is the
e general impression of the "unterrGed'
{ in this section of the district, that
] they can produce the ''coming man
e one who will heal the breach, and
: once moro unite us as we were oi
! vore. He is not committed TO either
r faction that divided us last fall, and is
: friend to all pprues concerned; q
! man who IS cloar-headed, practicable
! and capable; sound upon all the i'm
portant issues which may be brought
, before the next session, and is one OF
the working class. In fact, il would
be hard to find, in the whole district,
one who is better qualified, in every
I, regard, to represent the Democracy
, of this district in the next Legislature,
and decidedly the most available.
The name ] would beg leave TO
offer is JOHN LAWSHE, of the firm
: of Lawshe, White L. Co, OF the Osce-
! ola Mills. Far be it from me, Mr.
: Editor, to claim it .ss a right ] never
8 could reconcile il with nv Democratic
= principles TO admit that any man had
: the right to office in republican form
: of government; the right belongs tc
q the monarchal. / think the office
a should seek the man, not the man the
: office; and it would be the Office seek.
ing the man in the case of Mr.. I.awshe
g But | do claim that one who has
4 worked as hard and achieved as much
as Mr.. l.. has, is worthy of some o,
i the honors. If You will refer, Mr.
! Editor, to the election returns of thi.
township-you who have watched th,
Z returns of Clearfeld county for year,
+ and will compare the past two year:
q with the years that have gone before
you will there perceive the work o.
him whose name propose.
! And apart from all this, would
also urge that this quarter of the dis
0 trict is entitled to some consideration
at the hands of the party. From the
present standpoint, it cannot be very
$ long until a good deal will be expected
, OF us; so give us some encouragement
! to act in the future, for we consider
! that we have been neglected some
/ what heretofore.
With the hope that this suggestion
, may meet with your approval, / re-
main, in behalf of the glorious cause,
Yours, &C.,
OSCEOLA.
