Mr. Editor II had hoped that my reiu-
ta.iun Of the SANDER thar Mr. Neck, our
candidate lor assembly, endorsed tho plat
form OF the radicals Of this county would
make further comment % tho course al
these trsdUcers unnecessary, | showed su
clearly i'm my former letter that the hole
public record of our candidate proved h,m
10 be IN opposition "a the radical platform,
that Thought had So completely spiked
the guns of the republican tillibgsiess, that
they would be Otho further service 90 thvm
in this campaign.
In this | was mistaken. IL seems 1 un-
derrated the ctlrontery, of cur political op-
ponents. They do admit, DC IS true, that
Mr.. Meek has as yet dome nothing that they
can interpret into Ea endorsement Of che
principles 1f their party in reference % the
Law Library Bill But while they ad-
init this, tEey arc circulating busily among
our democratic voters As vile and con-
templihio "a iAl,Vhood as even their party
WAS ever before guilty of uticslng To
lower him in the estimation Of ihe tho par

lsbored, I've believe 90 his own pecun.ary
lassl and if possible to defeat him next

Now Mr.. Editor. can the force of malice
90 any further, To assert that Nc. Meek
who. oi all other men Iu this county, has
the oftcnesl shown his willingness to work
for the great democratic party ia The leg
isIature has hoited the edCmocratic platform
and has pledged himself 10 the principles
81 that OF the radicals, 90 assert that to gain
yutes from tho other party be wllt favor
aud work for the repeal Of the Law Lii
brary Act Is almost too palpablc ile 20
be noticed seriously, yet, because thcTe
may be some mon IN car party who might
be persuaded OF the truth Of this charge, |
wish room In your paper 20 deny The iuiA-
nous accusation and - proclaim that our
gallant standard bearer will not under any
circumstance carry uug for the radicals
the measures their candidates are pledged
10. as IN the past Dir. Meek has opposed
radical principles, SO next winter viii End
him artaycd in hostility 90 this Centre
county republican platform.
He h too consistent "a democrat 90 work
IN the interests OF radical party aud % do
for them what shA1r weakness prevents
them from doiug Themselves, Nc man
who knows anything a; ST ot Ar. Mecks
political record viii for "a moment believe
that h. has the slightest intention % do
aurht for ia, radicals uf tais county /
deny absolutely then. that M Meek viii
seek the repeal oftAc Library Act Meth
or Is Il true that hc has promised any one
that he will do so. But even if this were
so, even II for the good Of the great party
he represents. aud which he must again
naxt winter Represent, he hss said 20 Ger
tain Democrats or Republicans that b" is
i'm perfect accord with thc Republican
platform OF this c1uutY; even ii this were
an true, 10 Is no reason sag he should not
receive the cordial support Of cEory Demo
crat in the county the Democracy Know
him, and know that whatever ruse he may
be compelled 20 resort 80 in political
campaisn 10 ensure his election 60 posi-
tion where he can labor for the common
good Of th. people. he will never permit
himself Ia DO . tool Of tho opposition. All
i fair in war and politics, and wbil0 VIC
cannot censure M Neck for making such
representAtions 70 individuals as will co.
cure their votes. we who stand opposed 10
the Republican platform know it viii meet
with persistent and successful opposition
from him
One other slAnucr rs alnst the same gem
tlenian. desire briefly 10 notice The ra-
ideals are circulating iLg report that the
repeal of the notorious Philadelphia bull
ding Commission bin was defeated IN COM
mittee bv the vote Of Mr.. Meek. AZ the
last session Of the legislature Col. Dech-
ert. Democrat, introduced into the Sen
ate bin repeating this Infamous commits
sion which was by all odds the biggest
steal tha radicals Of PENNSYLVANIA had ey-
or contemplated. Col Dcchcrts repeal
ing bill passed the democratic Senate, and
in the House Il was referred to a commit
tee OF which Mr. Neck was a member. !
cannot deny that in this committee the bill
was smOtherod and that in consequence
this infamous Building Commission still
exists. But aftor careful and thorough
examination of the Journal of tho House,
/ cannot End any reo, ri Of Mr.. Mceks
vote. The radicals therefore cannot have
any foundation for their allegation.
Every vote for Mr. Meek Ia the next
election viii be an enforcement Of his
whole official course. asd an evidence Of
our unfail!ng confidence in him. Let eve
~ Democrat then turn out on neEt Tues
day aud show the radical maligEcrs of q
good man that woare not to be hoodwinked
or deceived. NERTTAs.
