FOrney Rebuked.

No radical newspaper in the State has
been so persistent in its efforts to depreciate
the professional reputation of Cyrus L. Per-
shipg, Esq, as the Philadelphia Press.
The false and villainous attacks upon Mr..
Pershing, which daily disgrace its pages,
usually find prominent place in the col
umus of the Johnstown Tribune. We per-
ceive, with pleasure, that while the editor of
the Aueghdnidn. the Republican organ of
this portion Of the county, defends the
principles and policy of his party with zeal
and ability. he will neither dishcnor himself
nor prostitute his paper by aiding the Press
and the Tribune in their disreputable at
tempts, to belittle Mr.. Pershing, or to
filch from him his fair name and reputation.
The editor of the AIeghaniGn has known
Mr.. Pershing's reputation as lawyer for
years, and in the last number of his paper
bears the following just aud honorable tes.
timony to the high character of that County
Squire"
WE observe with pain that the Philadelphia
Pass and host of imitators are busily en-
gagged day by day and week by week in the
dirty work of attempting to blacken the per-
sonal and professional character of Hon. q. l..
Pershing, the Democrats nominee for Su-
preme Judge. "County Squire" "Pershinx
and not Perishing,""a lawyer of no learning
and no ability" !" ga country lout"-these are
some of the cpithets thrown at Mr.. Pershing.
We thought the day for this species of politi-
cal warfare was gone. Mr.. Pershing is man
of undoubted ability as a lawyer, has made
mark high upon :he record as politician; and
il witbal Christian gentleman. We believe
onr arpans will do infinitely better service for
our party by attacking Mr.. Pershing's polti-
cal principles than Mr.. Pershing as an indi-
Yidual

Meade and Packer.

On Thursday. 10th inst. a complimentary
banquet was given to the Farmers Club Of
Philadelphia by Asa Packer, az the Mansion
House in Mauch Chunk, 10 which place Mr..
Packer resides. The Carbon Democrat gave
a graphic account of the interesting occasion,
aud from that account the following is ex
tracted:
"Among the distinguished guests present
were Gorge w. ChildS, of the Phlladelphla
Ledger Gen. Robert Patterson, ). w. CaureH,
s.ol. W. Patterson, James Patterson, Gen. Geo
G.. Nj eade, s. V. Merrick, w II. Drayton, ID.
Coppee, F. A Comley, William Il Gatzmer,
Robert E. Patterson, Charles Hartshorn and
John W. Gillingham. Alter doing ample JUS,
tice to the various viands, the genial How OF
feeling drifted into toasts and speeches: Gen.
Robert Patterson led off in quite an eloquent
and earnest tribute to Pennsylvania and To her
gifted son who commanded our armies at Get
tysburg, winding up with a toast to Gen. Geo.
G. Meade. In few words General Meade re-
sponded, thanking General Patterson for his
words of cOmmendation, and at the same tine
in very chaste and happy style returning the
compliment to the hero of three wars. Gen.
Meade then proposed the following, which was
received with much enthusiasm
"'Our host, Hon. Asa Packer-may his sue
cess in the past be eclipsed by his successes IN
the future"
Here is a plain. unmistakeable endorse
ment Of Asa Packers character by most
prominent and distinguished Union General.
Not only that, but General Meade expresses
the wish that Judge Packers success in the
past may be eclipsed by his successes in the
future. Whereupon let all the organs of
John w. Geary denounce Meade as traitor
and as one who is willing to sacrifice the
glorious results of the war. Can such things
be and not excite our special wonder z
Surely not. Therefore let Gen. Meade be
proclaimed copperhead and disloyal man.
The very thought of the hero Of Gettysburg
breaking bread at the same table 18th Asa
Packer is certainly too much for radical
nerves, and demands at the hands of the
"God and morality" party pointed AID
emphatic rebuke. This is the same Asa
Packer who has been described by the editor
of the Johnstown Tribune as Breck inrldge
democrat-as having opposed the war, and
with having, while in Europe, consorted for
two whole years with rebels. There would
seem to be slight difference of opinion on
these questions between the editor of the
Tribune and Gen. Meade. 1t is an old adage,
however, that great men will sometimes
/ differ

Morton and PendletOn.

Because George H. Pendleton is in favor
of paying the 90 bonds in greenbacks, how
many thousand times has he not been de-
nounced by the radical press as the open ad-
vocate of reputation
Ex-Gov. O. P Morton, of Indiana, is the
leader of the radicals in the United States
Senate, and is the ablest member of his par
ty in that body. John Covode, having failed
to induce Attorney General Brewster to re-
sign, in order to ''heal existing dissensions."
has prevailed on Senator Morton to visit
Pittsburgh during the present week and ad-
dress redical meeting, for the purpose OF
propping up the failing political fortunes OF
John w Geary. This same Senator Morton
made speech on financial questions in the
Senate, on the 9th day of July, 1868, from
which we take the following extract:
"Mr President The question to whether
the S-20's are payable only in coin, or may be
paid in legal te lder notes, has been brought
prominently into this debate. The Chairman
of the Committee of Finance u Ohm SHERNAN),
who has had much to do with the financial al
fairs of this country for six seven years past,
ins lists that the Government has a right TO pay
the 5 20's in existing legal tenders.
mir. President, believe the law-and it is
to the law we must look in regard to this ques-
ton after all-is with the Senator from Ilhio
on this question. When it is asserted that Gov
ernment is bound to redeem the 5-2O 3 IN coin,
! say it is not only without law, but Is IN FX-
PREss VIOLATION OF AT LEAST FOUR STATUTES =
The law authorizing the lU-40's declares that
principal and interest shall be paid in COIN
The several laws creating the 5-2O's Ceclare
that the interest shall be paid in coin, but are
silent as to the principal of the debt, and do
not say in what kind of money the principal
shall be paid. This silence is very significant
If this is not the doctrine of George H.
Pendleton in all its length and breadth, we
would like to know to what else it can be
compared. 1t is as much like it as one egg
is like another. For uttering just such SEN
timents, Pendleton has been increasingly
abused and misrepresented by every radical
sheet and every radical stump orator in
Pennsylvania, and yet Gov. Morton, who ad-
vccates precisely the same doctrine, is sent
for to deliver a political speech to the radi-
Gals Of Pittsburgh. With the same political
consistency they might have sent for George
Fl. Pendleton to address the bondholders OF
that intensely radical stronghold. What
contemplate opinion of the radical leaders
must the holders of 500 bonds in Pittsburgh
entertain, after they have ascertained, II they
do not already know it, that Senator Morton
has always stood squarely on the Pendleton
platform.

FATAL ACCIDENr.-On Tuesday morning
last, Mrs. McQuade, wife of James Nc
QuaGe, of Snyder township, met with ter
rible accident which resulted in her death
the same evening. The particulars. so far
as we have received them from a reliable
source, are as follows Mr.. McQuade. about
a week ago, left home to attend to some bu-
siness in Pittsburg, intending to remain a
few days. On Monday evening, Mrs. Nc
Ouade heard sound resembling some one
falling, but failed to ascertain the cause
On Tuesday morning the sound was repeated
in such manner as to alarm her. Fearing
that it was a token indicative of some acci-
dent having happened to her husband, she
became alarmed and saddled a horse to ride
to Tyrone, about two miles and half, to
ascertain whether anything had occurred
Having proceeded some distance the horse
frightened and threw her. She then walk
ed the balance of the distance. While at
Tyrone she was standing on the main track
and stepped off on a siding to allow the 10
cal freight to pass and while standing on
the siding, was knocked down by freight
train being shifted, five or six cars running
over her, crushing both legs about the knees
in a horrible manner. A messenger was
despatched to this city to ascertain whether
Mr.. McQuade had arrived here, and met
him, he having returned on the Cincinnati
Express at 5:45 p. m. Both left here on
the Cincinnati, and Mr.. McQuade rea ched
Tyrone Just as his wife was dying. The de-
ceased was an estimable lady and her death
and the circumstances surrounding it, have
caused general gloom in the entire commu-
nity.-Bt0i7' County Radical.

The radicals in Tennessee have abandoned
all expectation of defeating Andrew john
sons election to the United States Senate
The following Washington despatch of a
very recent date, to the New York Tribune,
would seem to render the election Of the
.'great impeached" forgone conclusion
Private advices from Tennessee, received
here to-day, give rise to the belief that e1 Pres
ident Johnson's prospects for election to the
United States Senate are increasing. 1t is
well known that his most formidable opponent
up to this time has been Hon. Bailie Peyton,
who has now withdrawn from the contest, and
is a warm supporter of MIR. johnson.

In another column will be found the letter
of George 81. Pepdleton accepting the nomi-
nation as the Democratic candidate for Gov
ernor of Ohio. Like everything coming from
the pen or lips of Mr. Pendleton, it is an
able, straight forward and manly document,
and will command general approval. The
concluding sentence, coming from such a
source, is peculiarly significant "Of the re-
suit in October we need have no fears"

WE invite the attention of our readers to
an article in this weeks issue from the Ge-
MUS Of Liberty, published in Uniontown,
Fayette county, on the subject of John W.
Geary and the soldiers of the Mexican war.
A meeting of precisely the same character
was held in the Court House in this place
about the same time. and resolutions quite
as strong as those of the Union town meeting
were adopted. We have been unable to pro-
cure file of the paper which was published
here at that time, but many of the citizens
of this place have lively recollection of the
meeting and of the proceedings attending it.
Geary having gone from this county to Mex
leo, as the captain of company of Cambria
county volunteers, and having subsequently,
become Colonel of the Second Pennsylvania
Regiment, the indignation manifested against
him by the volunteers from Cambria, on their
return home, was regarded at the time as
especially damaging to his military as we'll
as to his personal reputation. We never
heard the slightest denial Of the truth of tie
grave and serious allegations which were
then publicly made against him by those
who served under him, and who may fairly
be presumed to have best known his Mexi-
can career.

GRANT. in his wanderings through the
Eastern States, arrived at Concord, N. H.,
on the 25th of August. In response to a
speech of welcome from the Mayor of the
city, the "second Washington" delivered the
following luminous reply:
Mr.. Mayor 1t affords me great pleasure to
visit the Granite State aud its capital. 1t is
the first time have ever been able to be, be-
lieve, within its borders, and regret cannot
make longer stay among its beautiful noun
taiEs.
Here is speech as is speech, in which
President seems to be in doubt as to whether
or not he had erer before been in New Hamp-
shire. During the early history of Illinois
candidate for the Territorial Legislature
was called upon to address meeting of his
political friends. He modestly declined up
on the ground of his well known want of
ability to do so, but proposed a compromise
by magnanimously agreeing TO hold any
mans hat who would undertake the job
We commend that mans example to Grant
the next time be is called on to make a speech.

In referring to the fact that Gov. Geary
acted in 1860 as census taker in two or three
townships in Westmoreland county. the Har-
risburg Patriot OF Saturday last does what
we conceive to be an act of injustice to Jas.
G. Campbell, Esq, the then acting Marshal
of the Western District of Pennsylvania,
when it says that he refused to appoint any
but arolCed friends of Breckinridge. The
editor Of this paper was appointed census
taker for the southern district of this county
by Mr.. Campbell. and he was not only an
earnest, though humble, advocate of the
election of Stephen A. Douglas, but at least
one of the prominent friends who aided him
in obtaining the appointment must have
been known to Mr.. Campbell himself as a
faithful worker in the offort to elect the
"Little Giant" If credit is due Mr.. Camp
bell for this act, it should not be withheld
from him and we deem it our duty to bear tes-
timony to the facts as we have stated them.
