PACKER AND HIS TAXES.

Carbon county and the borough Of Mauch
Chunk, during the recent war, contracted
large debt for bounty to those who went into
the army. Honorably to meet this debt it
became necessary to raise money by taxation.
The assessor assessed Asa Packer with one
million of dollars railroad stock. when in fact
be owned about touy millions. Packer, ike
other residents of Mauch Chunk, paid his
taxes the first, year, but to evade future
payment gave out that he had changed his
residence to the city of Philadelphia. The
alleged change not being apparent to any
one but himself he and his family stiIl con-
tinuing to occupy the spacious mansion in
Mauch Chunk as before). the proper au-
thorities again assessed upon him the usual
taxes as on all other residents of the
borough. He refused payment again pro
testing that his residence was at the
Merchants Hotel, Philadelpbia, and the re
suit was the amount had to be recovered
from him by suit at law. and ever since
then the authorities of Maueh Chunk. with
most wonderful kindness and magnanimity
have permitted the poor man to repudiate
the payment of bis share of the patriotic
bounty taxes, and required the rich men of
the town to pay their own share and Mr..
Packers also; and all this on the pitiful
plea that he had changed his residence. The
fact IS, he has opened a coal aud railroad
Office in Philadelphia, but there stands his
elegant family residence, in Mauch Chunk.
occupied By himself and family year after
year, as it has always been. Is not this a
miserable subterfuge, unworthy any honest
man, aud much more man who aspires to
the high and honorable placesin the country?

men viii not be ashamed; and let him pay

Geary,s Republican claims.

Because he has been faithful, efficient and
honest Chief Magistrate.
Because he is the nominee and repre-
sentative Of a party that stood by the
country in the hour Of danger, and that
stands By the principles Of justice aud
freedom, upon which our Government is
based
Because he has been tried and not found
wanting, neither ia his devotion to the
principles Of true Repuhlicanism, nor in his
integrity in adhering to the strict line Of
principle in all his official acts.
Because he is a man whose private char
acter is unblcmished, and whose habits are
such as to meet the approval of all good
citizens.
Because Pennsylvania owes it to her
honor and fair name not to permit a brave
and gallant soldier, who drew his sword for
her safety in the hour of her deadly peril,
and who has served her faithfully in time OF
peace, to be defeated by one who sympa-
thised with her enemies when the dark
cloud Of battle lowered, and the fierce con
fict for national existence surgea around
her.
Because a just regard for the memory Of
the martyred dead, who fell in the heroic
struggle for national existence, forbids the
State to place III high efReial position those
who sympathized with their enemies.
Because the triumph of the Democratic
candidates in this State would be the tri-
umph Of the principles of Free Trade, and
a deadly blow at the policy Of Protection to
American Industry policy to which the
hardy sons of the Old keystone have always
been devoted.
Because the triumphant reelection of
Governor Geary would rejoice the hearts of
the true friends of the nation everywhere,
while his defeat would bring joy into the
camp Of its enemie:.

The utter insineerity of this resolution is
shown in the fact that every eopperhead

which instead Of ameliorating the condition
of the laboring man would reduce his wages
to level With the paupers Of Europe.
Such ia the Consistency Of copperhead pro.
LESSONS, Their hope is to deceive the peo-

Copperhead party has no more sympathy
with the laboring man now than, when ia

perhead principles are at enmity with the
interests Of the laboring man and always
have been. They would to-day if they had

CoPPERHEADs call for a reform in the

been largely reduced and the taxes upon real
estate abolished, while in the first five
months of Grants administration $43, ,00a.

and the Internal Revenue taxes reduced at
the same time, What reform do copper
