SCOGeIG'S Patriotism.

The Erie Observer has the following,
which but for the authority on which it
makes the statement we could scarcely
credit:
For two trips to Washington and
back Glcuui W. Scoieid drew from the
public treasury. as shown by a table in
the New York Tribune, the large sum
of 1928. How much was the actual
expense to him? Let any person cal
culate the amount, and then say wheth-
er he thinks a man who will be guilty
OF such an act is fit to represent the
people of this district in Congress ?"
Think of that &c veterans, who served
in the armies for a pittauce Of Sl3 8
month ! Think of it, We widowed
hearts, who gave your brothers, sons
and husbands to fight the battles oI
your country, while this lQyaJ gentle
man was bleeding the treasury Of the
money which had been wIuug from the
people
The actual expenses of two trip
from Warren to Washington would b.
about $40; ard this, according to ou,
way of figuring, would gipe Mr.. Sec
field the nice little sum ofSS5S! Dem
ocratic honesty would call this stealing
but Republican dishonesty would call
LOYALTY! Oh, Loyalty, what crime
are committed in thy name NJ.

DEPARTMENT OF STATE,
Washington, July, IL.

SIR Excuse me for expressing sur.
prise that you ask me whether ] approve
the call Of proposed National Union
Convention at Philadelphia. After
more than Eve years Of dIslocation by
civil war, ] regard restoration of the
unity of the country its most immediate
as we'll as its most vital interest. That
restoration will be complete when loyal
mea are admitted as representatives OF
the loyal people Of the eleven States so
long unrepresen,ed in Congress. No
thing but this can complete it. No.
thing more than this remains to be done
aud nothing more is necessary, Every
days delay is attended by multiplying
and Increasing inconvenience, embar
rassments, and dangers, at home AID
abroad. Congress possesses the power
exclusively. Congress, after a session
Of seven months, still omits to exercise
that power. What can be done to in
duce Congress to act? This is the
question Of the day. Whatever is done
must be done in accordance with tht
Constitution and laws. 1t is in perfec
accordance with the Constitution anC
laws that the people of the Unitec
States shall assemble by delegates il
convention, and that when 80 assembled
they shall address Congress Gy respect
