THE REPUBLICAN,.
ITS HIS L o r Y =.

this county that the Janiata Republican
was started by Allison, Davis, Strouse,
Stewart Lukcr., and few other disor-
ganizers. They proposed first to teach us
what true RepuJiicanism was, and Beefy
Allison was to be the preacher and ex-
FOUNDER. They proposed secondly 10
"break Patterson down." purify the Re-
publican party, and then take the leader
ship themselves. Thirdly, and lastly,
they were willing, for the sake of the pee
lie, to accept the offices and thus give the
people chance to have pure, honest, So
Der, sensible, loyal, JraUe, clean and re-
spcctaJlc men in their service.
The Rev. Beefy Allison expected us to
forget that he had few years ago been
associated with another turn-coat and rem
egade in publishing the Register, and
preaching LocOfocoism until he was kick
ed out of that Office by the indignant and
betrayed Democracy. The programme
was good one and promised grand re-
suits. But as they never kept their word
in anything, so in this case the sequel
proves how they wandered from the text.
Strouse, the "Big Ingin," was to so to
Congress or Senate he was Indifferent
which. Sore Heels Davis was to GO to
the Legislature. Rev. BeHfy was to be
Whisky Inspector (for which he certainly
is fit, as he has tasted it often enough. j.
Stewart Lukens was to be authorized to
carry Delaware township in his pocket as
he boasted. George Fasick, by general
consent, was to be clown of the concern,
and SO On through the list of pu.e men
who we're TO regencrate politics in Juniata
county.
Well, they fist pitched into Andy
johnson in general and Patterson in par
ticuIar, and almost disgraced Congress
with their praises The delegate elections
were held, and 10! not ONE Of the vir-
tuous creatures had a voice in convention
of the people. They then turned around,
cursed the party and people, and fell down
and worshipped the golden calf of Andy
Johnson.
Strouse did not get one delegate for
Congress, while Patterson received a unan-
imous nomination in this county. Davis,
after being scorned by the Republicans,
was kicked out of the Locofoco Confer
ence where he asked for a nomination for
Legislature. The Rev. Beefy got the
whisky and the Assistant Assessorsbip.-
Stewart Lpkens did not quite have pocket
enough to carry Delaware township, but
got the Thompsontown Post-Of6ce. Fa-
sick, having no opposition, became very
naturally Kings fool and clown and is
likely to hold the Office during life
They tried to sell ont the party, but
were scorued and despised by every true
man, and ever since have been faithful in
the service Of Andy johnson, Jeff. Davis
and the rebels. They opposed Geary and
voted fo- Clyner. They opposed Whar.
ton and Brown and tried all in their pow
er to elect the two LocGfocos, Miller and
Willis. They weekly denounced Con.
gress and the Republican party and work
ed zealouSly for its overthrow. Their
hope is in the defeat Of Congress and our
party. If the Locofocos succeed they
may retain Office. If the Republicans
succeed they will be kicked out without
ceremony. We, however, think they vii
find the Locofocos have as contemplate
an opinion Of them as the Republicans
aud turn them out as soon as they get rit
