ORR TICKET,

The Senatorial Conference completed
its IabOrs last week 10y nominating Col. }. .
X. robson, of Juniata county, and SAM
UEL MCNITrY, Esq, OF Huntingdon, a
candidates for the Senate from this dis
t-ict. Personally we could have. wished
for the nomination OF d. W. Woods. Esq.
but where several counties comprise 4 dis
t-ict and all save one presented a can
didate, individual preferences must give
way to the will and judgment of those
delegated TO make q selection. Col. Rob
ison served with distinction during the
war, and as a citizen stands high in his
native county, while Mr.. McFitty is an
c.timable and wcll-inforned mar, exten-
siveiy known, so that the people may re-
~ upon having faithful sentinels to at
tend To their interests. 1t now only re-
mains for the Union men of the district
To see that they are elected; and especial
Iy IS IL the duly of those counties Tot hav-
ing candidates 10 see that Tuii vote is
polled for the Supreme Judge, Senators,
and Assembly, as we are as much interes-
ted in the general result as if we had both
Senator and Assembly candidates from
oar midst, for three years hence we may
ask the same favor at the hands of other
counties. Our candidates for Assembly
are also unexceptionable. Mr.. Wharton
has had a years experience, and proved
himself all able Legislator. Captain Viii
spn served with distinction under Gen
J 5hn p. Taylor of this county, and Of his
ability it is sufficient to say that he is ed
itor of the Mffiintown Sentinel.
In our local ticket but little issue seem
cd to have been at stake until invited by
the patent democratic meeting in the
Town Hall, where by the adoption of the
following resolutions they placed Messrs.
McFadden, Nageny, &c, on the Nallan-
d;gham-Pendleton platform of peace ut
any price, mixed with random assertions
worthy Of Baron Munchausen or Sinbad
the Sailor. Read and wonder;
, That blood, oppression and taxation
have been the fruits and the only fruits,
the country has realized from Republican
legislation. We echallenge Republicans to
point out one single good result that has
followed any one of their acts.
f. That it is a historical fact that the
country dlt0dyS prospered, and United
States taxes were entirely uHIHOJCn, when
the democratic party was in power; and
therefore the only hope Of restoring good
times, cheap living, small taxes, and
specie currency, lies in the restoration of
the Democratic party to the administra-
ton of government, State and National.
In plain language these resolutions re-
gret that the people of the North and
West did not prove themselves the most
contemplate COwARDs that ever walked
on the face Of the earth, for any one save
n brainless fool must know that if there
Lad been no war and no taxation, this .
country would have been rent asunder, +
and Pennsylvania be at this day the serf
OF JEFF Davis, or a border State daily and
hourly liable to invasion or raids by chiv !
alrous "nigger-catchers." /
To the nonsensicaI challenge to point
out a single good thing the republican par
ty has done, it will be. sufficient to say
that among many good things it accom-
pIished t,0o great things, to wit: Putting
down the most villainous rebellion ever
lot up, and giving the country the best
and safest currency to laOoring CLASSES and
all others the world ever saw.
How far there is truth in the assertions
that this country dil0oyS prospered under
what is called democratic rule, and that
United States taxes were totally unknown,
is best met by history, and exhibits the
committee, consisting of two lawyers and
one editor, as badly read schoolboys Our
opinion from reading the history of this
country is, that United States taxes were
imposed during the administ alton of
James Madison-that terrible revuIsion
occurred in prices of property during
Monroe's administration which ruined
thousands upon thousands-that the peo-l
pie lost millions by irresponsible State /,
Banks-that in 1928, during Gen. Jack
sons administration, Calhoun, as the
leader of the Southern democracy, at
tempted to get up a rebellion, but was put
down by Old Hickory-that in 1887, dur
ingVan n'sadministration, the whole /.
country was convulsed by failures and
depression III business ten years !
