What Craig Said!

Allen Craig, the Carbon County nom
inoe for the Legislature, said at the late
Democratic meeting in the Court House,
that the right to the next member OF
the Legislature was freely and fully con-
ceded to Monroe" Voters of Monroe,
are you going to throw your rights on
Carbon County by voting for Craig, who
acknowledges he has no claim on your
support, or will you vote for Major Havi-
land and thus show Carbon County that
you knoW your rights and dare maintain
them.

The Republican Ticket.

We think, reader, that if there ever
was time in which the Republicans of
Monroe County had reason to feel proud
of the Ticket, that time is now. We will
not now speak of our candidate for Su-
preme Judge. His merits have been am
ply discussed and set before you, and we
know that you are determined to give
him your hearty and earnest support =
But why speak particularly of Major
Wm. X. Haviland, the candidate for the
Legislature? you all know him well. -
For years, save when in the military ser.
vice of his country, shedding his blood
and giving the strength of his manhood
for the suppression of rebellion, he has
gone in and out among you, and no
man can say aught against him as u
gentleman Of honesty, of patriotism, and
of talent far above that possessed by or.
dinary men. In temperament, in integ
rity and in all the requisites necessary to
make the able and efficient Legislator,
Mai. Wm. X. Haviland stands second to
no man in the district, and is, confess
edly, even by Democrats, acknowledged
to be the best man nominated for years.
The desires of our people are, by large
majority, in favor of his election, and, but
for party lines and the fear of the party
lash, he would represent us most faithfully
and creditably at Harrisburg, next winter.
See to it that he has the full Republican
vote.
And there, too, is Jacob H. Fetherman
for Jury Commissioner. Who can say a
word against him7 You all know him as
an active, intelligent and thrifty farmer,
of Hamilton. A hardworking man,
and an honest man who would scorn to
do a wrong deed for any purpose what
ever. The law contemplates jury-box
filled by men unprejudiced by party spi-
rt. See that you vote for and elect Mr..
Fetherman, and thus rebuke the foul
ness of those narrow, contracted and
bigoted souls, who can see nothing but
partizanship in everything - who would
pervert the Law to the aggrandizement
of party, and who would turn heaven it
self into Democratic sanhedrfm. The
Democratic party, in convention, let the
matter remain as the law designed it,
while it is alone the thugs of the party
who are moving to make the selection
of Jurors mere matter of Democratic
rewards and punishments. You can re-
buke this foul spirit if you go to work
in earnest.

The President begins to comprehend
that the District Commanders are actually
under an authority superior to his, and
that is the authority of the laws and
that for him to intermeddle with them in
the performance of that duty would clear
ly expose him to impeachment. 1t may
be taken, at least, as evidence of alarm
on his part, that, he now confesses his
prerogatives to be limited, and that the
laws set up barriers he may not pass.

though of different character from any
we have ever seen, is equal to the best

are posted tell US that Mr.. Forepaugh,
the proprietor, has never been in the busi-

wherever he goes this season he will be
welcome. His collection of animals and
horses must be worth $3.50, 900, aud are
owned entirely by him. He is success

A Full Vote.

Every one says, " If We can get out a
full vote, the election of Judge Williams
is sure" Well, friends, the only way
to get it out is through active work; and
that not the work of one or two men in
a district, only, but of all who can be in
duced to take an interest in it. Every
district has its own peculiar work to do,
in getting out its vote, aud no one knows
so we'll how to do it as those who have
done it before. We say to every Repub-
lican, then, look first to your own dis
trict, and see that it is effectively can

trict is necessary to full vote in the
county; and the latter will be accom-
plished when we have fully attended to

JUDGE sHARsWOOD ON LEGAL
TENDERS.
Extract from His Opinion in the Case of
Borie VS.. Trott.

oOn the whole, then, | am Of opinion
that the provision of the act of Congress
of February 10Th, 1862, declaring the
notes issued in pursuance of that act to
be lawful money, and a legal tender, Is
UNCONSTITUTIONAL"
|" This renders it unnecessary that |
should consider the other question which
has been made. as to the effect of the
special agreement to pay in lawful silver
money of the United States. l am in
favor of entering Judgment for the plain
tiff, but as majority of the court are OF
a different opinion, judgment for the de.
fcndaut, - Copied from the Phita1et
;.htu Age Of 23d Of February, 1861
where the opinion is published in full.
1t may also be found in the Leyat h.
,tuigenccr of March Is, 1861, page 90.
In the same cory of the Age is care
fully prepared eulogy of the judge and
this opinion, in which is the following:
Judge Sharswood reasons upon and
decides the case as if he were some lofty
spirit sitting far above and out Of the
contentious and strifes Of the world"
Will not the holders of greenbacks and
Government bonds consider the judge as
quite too elevated and ETHEREAL for such
earthly honors as seat on the Supreme
Bench.

At this time last year the democrats
were full in the faith that they would de,
feat Gen. Geary and elect Mr.. Clymer-
This expectation was based on the calcu-
lations of Mr.. Wallace, Chairman of their
State Committee, who stated he had caused
every ward, borough aud township to be
closely canvassed and could not be mis-
taken. The result proved how little his
engineering was worth.
This year the democrats profess the
same confidence, predicated on assuran.
ces from the same source. The prophet
in whom they trust is false one.
1t seems probable that the aggregate
vote will be lighter than it was last year
Neither party will bring out all its mem
bers. The falling off will divide about
equally between them.
The tenor of advices from all parts OF
the State leads US to anticipate the elec-
tiou of Mr. Williams by handsome ma
jority. The larger that majority shall
be, the more benefcent will the award OF
the ballot box prove.
