Sunbury American. [volume] (Sunbury, Pa.) 1848-1879, 1871-09-09


cd to us in last weeks Guard, shows that
the senior has got out of humor, aud that
his genial friends, Messrs. Pat Hester and
Trcyelick, deserve more than ordinary at
tention ut his hands. The extracts and
garblcd misconstructions put on our re-
marks, might have done well enough in
Virginia before the war, and before school
houses were built in that country but the
editor must not mistake his present loca-
ton, but and remember that the youngest
school boy will 0c able to discover ;he trick
he desires to play upon the people of this
county. His denial of being connected
with the Labor Union, and his rejection
therelrom, is certainly crcditablc to that or
ganization, if he tells the truth. 1t is very
evident that it is his intention to draw that
organization into the support of the demo-
cratic party, and rs we stated before, only
to elect "Daddy' to the Associate Judge
ship, and not for the benefit of the organi-
zation. He says, 1--WE have advised them
again and again that their labor Union
movement should seek redress in the ranks
Of the Democratic party His genial
friend, Mr.. Trevclick, argued the SAME
way. The Labor Union rs far as we know,
is intended to elevate the working man
above the paupcr labor of Europe, but by
the move ofthe editor and his genial friend,
it is the intention to use the organization
as political machine to elevate themselves
e., 10
can look in vain for redress. He says
''that this movement seems inclined to aili-
late with the Democratic party, and vote
with us, is what cXcitcs the editor of the
1mcricaa beyond his depth, and leads him
to outrage truth and dcccncy." Ifthe cd
itUr considers that warning honest men
against the danger Of being cnsnarcd by
! old designing dcmagogucs and corrupt po-
/ liticiaus, is ''ou.ragiug truth and dcccncy,''
/ we plead guilty. As to The INCLINATION OF
the Labor Union to affiliate with the De
mocracy the editor woIld tike them to be-
/ licye so, but thus far none have shown any
signs oralliliation except the Irish Catho-
lie members, who have long since affiliated,
and are now making every effort to sccur,
power everywhere, and are fast running ev.
cry party they affiliate with. We would
caution all against those who give them
selves over 10 that element, OF the danger
OTIS results that viii follow by placing then
in power.
The senior does not deny his visit to Pa
Hester on Friday evening previous TO th,
primary election, but says that lin each 0
the two townships where the vote was tn
largest, the father of the senior editor wa
beaten by his competitor Judge Wclkcr.
II such was the case, why did not the ia
; thcr OF the senior editor, like Judge Wolker
, oppose the acceptance Of the iraudulcu
? vote of the coal region in the Convention
. 1t is wc!l known that the editor and hi
r surroundings had made threats before ia
election, that IT, any fraudulent votes wer
cast, and the father Of the Senior defeated
, that the Godid would be in opposition I
{ tie ticket. Every one knows that the caud
