WE hear men growing and grum-
bling about the enormous taxes they
have to pay and yet as soon as election
comes round they walk straight to the
polls and vote the radical ticket. 1t is
wonderful how men can be so stupid,
so blind to their own interest. Every
man of common sense knows or ought
to know that our present financial con-
dition is owing to the effects Of radical
policy, that this terrible burden Of
taxation which is paralyzing capital
and crushing labor has been fixed up
on us by radicalism. How then can
any poor man who cares for his own or
his family's interest vote the radical
ticket? He knows, or ought to know
that the leaders of the radical party,
the bonded aristocracy, heartily des-
pise him and the class to which he
belongs. These nabobs regard the
poor lObOring men of the land as fit
only to be slaves. While they are
striving to confer the right of suffrage
upon the negro and the Chinaman,
they would delight to strip from the
poor white men every political, relig-
ious or social right which he enjoys.
The poor man who wishes to make a
slave of himself and his children and
their children after them, should go
on voting the radical ticket, for the
poor laboring classes for freedom, pros
perity and happiness, lies in the sue
cess of the Democratic party. With
its return to power in State and
national, would come a reform Of the
political abuses which have grown to
gigantic proportions under radical
rule. Public expenditures would be
curtailed, and a proportionate reduc-
ton of taxation take place. The peo-
pie ofthe different States would be
left free to manage their affairs in
their own way, without interference
by the general government. In short,
the country would be set free from the
rule of fanaticism and bigOtry, and
plain common sense would once more
bear sway.

1t is said that Calisaya Bark has a
peculiar effect upon the liver, and
guards the system against diseases by
exposure and irregular diet. 1t is con-
ceded that the great success of the
wonderful Plantation Bitters, which,
previous to our unhappy difficulties,
was found in most southern homes,
was owing to the extract of Calisaya
Bark which it contained as one of prin-
cipal ingredients. In confirmation of
this we have heard one of our distin-
guished Physicians remark, that when
ever he felt unwell from ordinary die
tetic or atmospheric causes, he invari-
ably relieved himself by Plantation
Bitters. Wespeak abvisedly when we
say that we know it to be the best and
most popular medicine in the world.

VOTE AGAINST THE PLEDGE
BREAKERS! Longenecker, Stutz-
man and Weller Whose place is now
filled by Long, were elected on the ex-
press understanding on the part of
those who supported them, that Negro
Suffrage was not TO be established in
Pennsylvania, without the consent OF
the people. These three men violated
their pledges to the voters of the dis
trict, and supported the Fifteenth A
mendment, which establishes Negro
Suffrage in Pennsylvania in spite OF
the people.

THOSE PETITIONS.

Last winter thousands and tens of
thousands of the people Pennsylvania
petitioned the Legislature against the
ratification of the Fifteenth Amend
ment These petitions were signed by
men of both political parties. Among
the prominent Republicans" of this
county who demonstrated over their
own names against the Fifteenth A
men dment, we note Abraham III. Hull,
ESD, and John II. AXE, Esq, of Union
tip. There were others of the same
party who likewise protested and
whose names are on filei in the archives
of the legislature. The wishes of these
gentlemen, were entitled to respect, at
least from the representatives of their
own party. But they were treated
with contempt and sneered and hooted
at and the Fifteenth Amendment was
flung in their faces as the answer Of
Geary, Stutzman and Longenecker to
their remonstrance against its passage.
1t is their tarn now. These "Repub-
licans" whose petitions were despised
and whose councils erecontemptuous-
ly rejected, now have an opportunity to
vindicate their iHsulted honor. Geary,
Stutzman and Longenecker ask them
for their votes and influence for re-elec-
tion. Perhaps the petition of these be-
trayers of the people will be regarded
as little as were those for the rejection
OF the Fifteenth Amendment.

OVER SIX THOUSAND

OVER SIX THOUSAND DOL
LARS OF STATE TAX has been de-
manded from Bedford county, by the
Radical officials at Harrisburg, for the
years 1869, Notwithstanding the re-
peal of that Tax! The same is the
case in greater or less proportion with
all the counties of the State. What
does this mean? ? What right have
those officials to demand this Tax? Is
it not highly necessary that such men
as JOSEPH b. NOBLE and THOM-
AS STPE be sent to the legislature to
investigate this extraordinary busi-
ness?

DEMOREsT's MoNTHLY.-The last
number of this popular Magazine is
always said to be the best. Certainly
its enterprising publisher will sustain
its brilliant reputation, and spare no
efforts or expense TO render it the best
parlor Magazine in America. How
can he afford the expensive premiums
he gives in addition to the positive cost
of such periodical, for 50 90 per year,
is one of the mysteries of publishing.

M. Spencer, of the "Pic-nic," now Of
fered as a premium, both to members
of clubs and single subscribers, we

LONGENECAER AND THE HERDIC
AfyT.

| fact that last winter bill was rushed
through the Legislature, Ia a single
night, to abolish a judicial district, (the
10Th, consisting of the great and pop
ulous county of Lycomingl that Gov.
Geary sat up in the Executive Cham
Der until midnight waiting for the
bill, and signed it early the next NOR
ming.
Jacob IL. Longenecker, Esq, was a
member of the Judiciary Committee
of the House of Representatives, to
which this infamous bill was referred.
When it was discovered by the people
of Lycomiug county that their Judi
cial district was blotted out of existance
and that their President Judge was
Iegislated out of office, they petitioned
| the legislature, without distinction OF
party, TO repeal this outrageous enact
naent and restore to them their dis
trict and their Judge. S. G. Wingard,
Esq, of Williamsport, a leading Radi-
cal lawyer, who represented his dis
| trict in the legislature few year since,
headed q party of gentlemen who Wis
tied Harrisburg for the purpose of OBJ
tanning the repeal. Peter Herdic, a
notorious corruptionist was the only
man from Lycoming county who asked
that the hastily and dishonesty en-
acted bill should be permitted to re-
main on the statute book. He had
obtained its passage originally, by
fraud and corruption, and of course
resisted its repeal with all his might.
The Judiciary Committee refused to
report the bill to repeal. Herdic had
bought one Democrat (M'Miller of
Montgomery and though one Radi-
cal, (Herr, of Dauphinl voted in favor
of reporting the bill, it was killed in
the Committee. j. II. Longe2ecfer
uoted Cith 1rNiUe,, for Peter Herdic's
interests, and contrary to the irish and
aciU of the people Of ,he 18th Judicial
District. The bill was not repealed,
and for months Lycoming county was
without court, without Judge, and
deprived of the administration of JUS
tice within her borders.
There remained but one remedy
The corrupt and malignant legislation
obtained by Herdic, must be taken be-
fore the Supreme Court, or it would
stand as the law of the land. Accord
ingly it was brought before that tribu-
nal. The case was argued by learned
and distinguished counsel on both
sides, and the Court unanimously de-
| cided the act to be unconstitutional
and void. Mr.. Longenecker is law.
yer, as such he was made member of
the Judiciary Committee of the House,
and in that capacity he assisted in
tearing the ermine from a spotless
Judge and in trampling out an inn
portant Judicial District, at the in
stance of corrupt and notorious mem
Der of the lobby. This vote of Mr..
Longenecker required theinterpOsltion
| of the Supreme Court, to save the peo-
| pie of Lycoming county from the rapa-
city of q legislative broker whose trade
| is in the souls Of men. The decision of
| that Court condemns Mr.. Longenecker
as legislator, and the taxpayers of
the Commonwealth are compelled to
pay the fee for testing the enactment
which was permitted to disgrace the
statute book through the short-coming
of this misrepresentation. Let us
have no more Longeneckers and we
shall have no more Herdic acts.
