WE ASK the earnest attention of our readers
TO the following letter.
PITTsBURG. Sept. 26, 1s67.-To the Merchants and
Business Men OF Eastern Pennsylvanis:-The under
Hon. Henry W. Williams candidate for the supreme U
Judge Williams has sat upon the bench of our Dis
tricate the exigences which give dispute
In centre of trade largely interested In mining,
manufacturing, mercantile, and marine pursuits HIS
decisions haze been accepted by the Supreme Bench
the tdto, and have commanded more general satsiac-
tion among business men than those of any other
Judge in the State His varied judicial experience
his extensive legal requirements his sterling integ
rity. and his great ability. eminenty qualify him
the high position OF Judge of the Supreme Court.
Judge Williams never o0untenanced favored
the reputation OF county, State national oblfga-
tions, and he has no sympathy with the refined dis
loyalty and tnsid'ous attack the public credit
exhibited in the opinion ot Judge Sharswood the
case of Borle vs. Trott. His patriotism and loyalty
are Of the head and heart He was earnestly opposed
to the Rebellion and he equally earnest and honest
in his devotion to the maintenance of the pliRhted
faith and public credit OF the nation.
If Judge Sharswo0d is elected the result will be pro.
claimed as O decision against the validity of our
national greenbacks and bonds, and be followed by
general distTust, alarm and commercial disasters
We earnes y urge you, therefore, not only TO vote
for, but TO throw the whole weight OF Influence
in favor OF the Hon. Henry W. Williams, and help
elect him by majority emphatic as to decide that
henceortn the national credit shall be sustained
tice Vindicated, and the rights OF citizens fairly and
| fearessly maintained. TAasea
