A niggcr named Bill Saunders has

confidential agent of the Washington
Postoflice-salary, 81 200 per year

fcrred upon a nigger under the new

result of "tho acceptance OF the situa-

this unfortunate country. This nigger

lack moral perceptions, who have not
the slightest conception of the word

the dictates of conscience, reason and
honor, has been appointed by an arm

these should make the more decent

men in power, who are crowding this
inferior negro race upon, and, indeed,
over and above the white race, who
founded this government, and have
made the country what it was up to
1860, that they are preparing for
themselves day of wrath which,
when il comes, will be fearful and ter

be the price Of the niggcr policy OF

Our readers are no doubt aware
that tho nominee Of onr ccGnty for

gagged in business, be would have had
neither time nor inclination TO clasp

district will find in him all The quail.
ties possessed by Mr.. Lawshc, and
that he will prove an upright and
attentive representative. TO this end
We shall closely scan tho acts Of our
agents ut Harrisburg this winter.
ME Hall having removed from this
county five years ago, and having
met him but for few moments on
two occasions since, we can say but
little about him personally. The Elk

at il scarcely necessary for us 10 diaie on the
qualities which bef our candidate for legislature,
John g. Hall, for that position, yet for the inior-
nation OF those who not 20 well acquainted

"Mr Hall commenced the study Of law in Clear
field under Hon. VIM. A. Wallace. in the fall ol
1858, and in September, 1851, was admitted TO
practice After that, Mr.. Wallace. recognizing
the sterling qualities which had guided his former
students course took him In a partner. In
/ the Office Of Mr.. Wallace, our young lawyer was
distinguished for his close application and atten-
tion to the business entrusted TO the care Of the
partnership
ain August Of 1884, Mr. Hall came among Us
known probity aud character lie located in
Ridgway, and our business men, soon recognizing
the talents which be possessed, he was soon in the
enjoyment Of a lucrative practice. Those who
know him will not say that we are divergng from
the truth, when we assert that M Hall is the
most successful lawyer Of bis age in this section Of
| the State
"Mr. Hall has ever been known as a champion
ofthe principles Of the Democratic party, yet, al
though an earnest advocate is not bitter partisan
never STOPPING TO abuse those who honestly diff
fer with him on questions OF public policy, but
trying BY sound argument to convince his oppo-
nents to his way Of thinking Of men and measures.
"0ur candidate has never swerved In bis fealiy
to those principles which he holds are the support
Of our Institutions, and which will, with the com
ing revolution Of politics in this country, be its
salvation.
OF his election there can be no doubt, notwith-
standing the puuy efforts Of all disorganiEers."
