SharsWood and Calhoun,

We have been looking over that interes-
ting volume called ''The Ecamiiaer and
Journal Of Political Economy, DeUoted to
the Advancement otthe Cause Of State Rights
and Free Trade"
This, it will be remembered, says the
Press, is the book from which the Union
Republican State Committee recently cop
led sundry proceedings of State-rights
meeting, including part of George Shars-
wood S Grafton and some of the toasts given
on the occasion. This meeting was held in
the Commissioners Hall, in the Northern
Liberties, Philadelphia, the next year after
the attempted notification by South Carroll
na Andrew Jackson was then President,
and it was essentially an anti-J ackson meet
ing, as the following toasts drank on the oc-
casion will show:
''The Executive and his servile retainers
touch but bristle of the royal prerogative,
and the whole stye is in an uprear. Let
them learn by the signs of the times that
the people know their rights, and knowing
will defend them.
This was an emphatic blow at Old Hick-
ory and his friends, but not more so than
the ninth regular toast on the occasion,
which was as follows:
''The Proclamation bears no semblance
to the Creed of Jefferson.
This referred to the celebrated procama-
ton of President Jackson, in which he warn
ed the nullifers to desist from their treason
able practices, to abandon their State-rights
heresies, and to submit to the laws of the
United States.
George Sharswood figured largely at this
meeting. As ''the orator of the day. he
delivered lengthy eulogy on the Virginia
and Kentucky resolutions of 1898 and 1893.
He was one of the vice presidents of the
meeting, and he was also one of the commit
tee on invited guests. In this latter capaci-
ty he invited John G. Calhoun to be pres
ent on the occasion. This distinguished
free trader and nullifer could not attend,
but sent a letter of regret, enclosing senti-
ment glorifying ''the Virginia and Ken
lucky resolutions as the rock of our political
salvations.

SHARsWOOD ON LEGAL TENDERS.
Extract from His Opinion in the Case Of
Borie vs.. Trott.

Son the whole, then, ana of opinion
that the provision of the act of Congress OF
February 25th, 1862, declaring the notes is
sued in pursuance of that act to be lawful
money, and a legal tender, Is unconstitu-
toaai"
This renders it unnecessary that should
consider the other question which has been
made, as to the effect of the special agree
ment to pay in lawful silver money of the
United States. l am in favor of entering
judgment for the plaintiff, but as MAORI
ty of the court are of different opinion,
Judgment for the defendant. Copied from
the Philadelphia Age of February %, 1864,
where the opinion is published in full.
1t may also be found in the Legal h,teHi-
geacer of March Is, 1864, page 92.
In the same copy of the Age is carefully
prepared eulogy of the Judge and this
opinion, in which is the following:
Judge Sharswocd reasons upon and de-
cides the case as if he were some lofty spir-
it sitting far above and out of the conten-
tions and strifes of the world
VIII not the holders of greenDacks and
Government bonds consider the judge as
quite too elevated and ETHEREAL for such
earthly honors as seat on the Supreme
Bench

Sharswood VS.. jackson.

la his famous proclamation against the
South Carolina Nullifers in December, 1892
General jackson said:
Il consider, then, the power to annul a
law Of the United States, assumed by one
State, incompatible with the existence OF
the Union, contradicted expressly by the
letter of the Constitution, unauthorized by
its spirit, inconsistent with every principle
on which it was founded, and destructive OF
the great object for which it was formed.
This was in 1882. Many yet living re-
member how the country rocked with ex-
element and trembled with alarm at the
audacious pretensicns and the reasonable
measures of John G. Calhoun and his fol-
lowers and they remember how all parties
exalted when Jackson crushed that incipient
treason under his heel. Democrats and
Wings clasped hands and united their voices
in support of the brave old man and his
proclamation.
But there was, even in Pennsylvania, a
small band of politicians who drew their
inspiration, not from Jefferson or Jackson,
but from John G. Calhoun, and of this small
band was Judge Sharswood, now a candidate
for the Supreme Judgship. After nulllfi-
cation was crushed he remained the same,
and in an Grafton delivered in April, 1884,
he re-afirmed the cardinal doctrine of nut
lifcation, secession and rebellion in the fol-
lowing emphatic terms:
''We come back to our starting place, and
finding nothing in the Constitution estab,,
fishing any final judge of the enumerated
powers, prohibitions, and reserved rights,
it must rest upon the admitted principles OF
general law, in cases of compact between
parties having no common superior. Each
State has the right to judge for itself OF the
compact, and to choose for itself the most
proper and efficient remedies.
Is it safe at time like this to entrust SUI
preme judicial powers to man who enter
tains such opinions as these? We grant
that he may hold them honestly and sincere
ly; but the more honestly and sincerely
they are entertained the more dangerous
they are. Jackson was honest and sincere
in his opposition to such views, and his
honesty, more than anything else, gave him

U. S. BONDS AND GREENBACKS.
REPUDIATION THREATENED.

In 1861 eleven States seeded and since
then only twenty three have been represen-
| ted in Congress, until the admission of Ten
nessee in 1866.
All the United States Bonds-5-20's I
3ss and 10 40's-all the greenbacks, and all
the National Banks, were created by this
Congress of twenty-three States.
| President johnson calls this an assumed
| Congress therefore not legal His sup
porters and the Democrats call it ''runp
Congress-, and 'usurping Congress" and
| hence not lawful Congress and the great
effort has been to elect Congressman in the
North and admit enough. from the rebel
States to enforce this policy"
If a Congress representing but twenty
three States be not lawful Congress, then
every United States Bond, and all our
greenbacks, and National Bank notes, are
worth nothing because an unlawful Con-
gress could not make lawful Bonds or law
ful money.
The mad effort, so recently made by the
| rebels and their sympathizers, to destroy
this Government by force of arms, failed.
Thus far the attempt to do the same thing,
through Congress, has also failed, because
of the action of the loyal voters at the bal
lot-box; and the last effort at destruction is
now being made through the Courts. Wit
ness the recent attempt by Democratic law
yers to induce the Supreme Court of the
United States to issue an injunction, nulli-
flying the Reconstruction Laws of Congress
in Mississippi, Georgia, and other rebel
States Read also the opinion of George
Sharswood, the Democratic nominee for
Judge of the Supreme Court of Pennsylva-
mia, in which he gravely denies the consti-
tutional power of Congress to make paper
money legal tender. (Borieus. TroH, Leg
al Ltelligencer of March 18th, 1864, page

same Court, announced from the bench the
same alarming doctrine, in 1865. (.See
Meruine Us Sailor ct al. Legal Hptelligencer

And this, too, in the face of the fact, that
the Superior Courts of every loyal State in
which the question has been raised, have
sustained the power of Congress.
1t requires, therefore, but little knowl-
edge of either arithmetic or law 10 estimate
the imminent danger of putting any more
men of Judge Sharswood's opinions on the
Supreme Bench of the State!

WHAT AN OPPOSITION EDITOR SAYS
Of Our Worthy Candidate.

The loyal voters of the Commonwealth
ask no higher tribute to the worth and char
acter of Judge Williams than the following
neat compliment paid him by the only daily
Democratic paper of Western Pennsylvania
| the day following his nomination. 1t said ::
The nomination of the Hon. Henry W.
Williams as candidate for Judge of the
| Supreme Court is good one. He was the
best man named before the Republican con-
ventlon, and possesses legal and moral quail
| ifications for the responsible position to
which he has been nominated Both par
ties have now presented their candidates.
An important duty has been faithfully dis
charged by the respective conventions. The
campaign may now be conducted ,0ithout
personal aspirations, and decided upon the
principles of the two great parties. This IS
as it should be. 1t is an auspicious sign of
the times, and if the county conventions
are equally fortunate in the selection of leg
islative candidates, there will be a stop put
to the deplorable corruption at the seat of
government under new reign of honest
| men and conscientious legislators its
baugh Post, .J,tne 2Sth, 1867.
The Post, in referring to the above, on
the 29th of August was pleased to say:
'We have nothing to take back or mod
ify OF Judge Williams private or legal
reputation we have nothing but words of
praise, and however it may suit some pug
nacious and heady politicians, we cannot
bring ourselves to.view personal assaults as
either wise or polite.
The Post, no doubt, speaks the truth in
regard to the legal and moral qualifca-
tions'' of Hon. Henry W. Williams, the
Republican candidate for Supreme Judge );
and yet in the face of this positive testi-
mony of candid opponent, the pug
nacious' small fry Copperhead papers per-
sist in denouncing Mr.. Williams as a ''hig-
| Cling, fanatical. curly headed, sour faced
adventurer, with mo reputation. All
honest and well-meaning voters will view
these personal assaults" on the private"
reputation of a worthy man in their proper
light; and, on the Second Tuesday of Oc-
tober, thousands will vote for Hon. Henry
W. Williams, who, otherwise, would have
supported his opponent. Let the people
remember these facts, ard go to the polls
with the assurance that Mr.. Williams will
be elected by an overwhelming and trium-
phant majority.

JUDGE SHARSWOOD IN SYMPATHY
WITH THE REBELS.
The Rebel Congress Prohibits the Circula-
ton of Greenbacks

From the Richmond Examiner, Jan. Is 1864.
The following bill, to be entitled ''An act
to prohibit dealing in the paper currency of
the enemy" has passed both Houses of
Congress. 1t originated in the House OF
representatives, and was amended in the
Senate, by the insertion of the words itdti-
cised in the first section. The amendment
will, of course, be concurred in by the
House The act will, doubtless, receive the
approval of the President, and the country
will then be relieved of the pernicious eff
tects Of traffic which it is surprising any
person protesting to be identified with the
South should ever have engaged in:
|. The Congress of the Confederate States
Of Americu do eaact-That no broker, banker
or dealer in exchange, or person concerned
IN trade as a merchant, or vender of mer-
chandise of any description, or any other
person, except lcitltan the lines Of the enemy,
shall buy, sell, take, circulate, or In any
manner trade in any paper currency OF the
United States: ProUided, That the purchase
OF postage stamps shall not be considered
violation Of this act.
,. That any person violating the provi-
SONS of this act shall be subject to indict-
ment and prosecution in the Confederate
Court holden for the district within which
the ottense was committed, and shall, upon
conviction, forfeit the amount so bought,
sold, circulated, or used, or a sum equal
thereto; and shall be moreover subject to a
hfne Of not more than twenty thousand dol
lars, nor less than five hundred, and be i'm
pnSOned not less than three months, nor
more than three years, at the discretion of
thee Court; and it shall be the duty of the
Judge of the several Confederate Courts to
gse this act specially in charge to the
grand jury.
}. That this act shall not be construed to
aSpply to any person acting in behalf OF the
government of the Confederate States, by
special authority of the President, or any OF
'he heads of departments.
Judge Sharswood decided the circulation
oi Government bonds and money unconsti-
'auonal He therefore stands on the same
Platform with his Southern brethren. Vo-
'ers remember this.

INDIAN CORN.

For many q mile on every side
see the golden corn,
And hear the cricket's notes around
Sound like fairy horn,
In concert with the wild bees drene,
In elfn murmurs. borne.
Long, long ago. as legends tell,
The Indian Fairy Queen
Into the ancient Delawares
Came down upon the green.
An azure robe around her head,
Hsr robes a vapory sheen.
And where she sat tobacco soon
Its bitter fragrance flung,
And where her left hand touched. the bean,
Rose towering fresh and young;
And whore her right hand swept, the maize,
In golden glory sprung.
And whether you do eat it roast,
Or take it baked in pone,
Or like it best as Johnny cake,
still let this truth be known,
That corn first came from fairy-land,
And was by fairies grown
