From the Huntingdon Democrat.
THE CONGRESSIONAL CONTEST.
Our readers, and especially the
friends of Col. Dorsey B. Thomas
will bear us out, when we state,
that heretofore between him and
his Iopponent. Gen. Atkins, the
Democrat has observed strict neu-
trality. Both belong to the same
political party; there was no issue
between them, and we did not deem
it our duty to take sides upon mere
personal issues. We write this ar
tiele to say that we cannot remain
silent any longer between these con-
testants and shall give our reasons
for supporting Gen. Atkins and for
taking this position in the Demo
crat.
COL. THOMAS
will not permit us to remain silent.
We have noticed time and time
again in papers outside of this dis
trict, notices of Col. Thomas, with
an immense amount of gratuitous
advice to this people how they
should vote. We passed them by
as belonging to that class of ''perso-
mails" written either for pay or bun
combe, and which may be had from
almost any Office in quantities TO
suit purchasers.
So long as they were not circula-
ted in the district, they could not
influence our people in choice, and
we continued to maintain silence.
But Col. Thomas has seen proper to
issue a circular to the "Conserva-
tive and Democratic voters of the
District" IN which he modestly
speaks of himself, and TO which we
do not offer any serious objection.
Not satisfied with this he attaches
to his circular certain extracts from
papers published in remote parts of
the State, rather recommending him
for the position to which he aspires,
on the Yankee patent medicine plan,
having the testimonials of the moth
ers or uncles OF the boys who have
been cured.

to Mr.. Thomas no less than to them
selves TO elect him to Congress-

does it up in an enthusiastic manner.
He is "truen' better" sound hard
working Democrat. Has done much
for the Democracy. We owe him
more than Senter for iberating us.
In our dark hour he was our friend
&c. He furnished money to rebels
in prison and was denied seat in
Congress by the radicals. If we
don't nominate him we "will show
base ingratitude." o. II atfrg

is little more modest in its compli-
ments.
Let US calmly and passionately
look at Dorsey b. Thomas political
course and let Us see if he is a Moses,
and Aaron or a Joshua, and weigh
the claims that he has upon our peO-
pie in impartial balances.
A SOUTHERN MAN.
He must have sympathized with
us when we ratified the aetOf separa-
ton, for he must have felt as keenly
as any the wrongs and outrsges
that led to it. He did. He was a
for Office at the COM
and claimed TO be as
good a Southern man as the coun-
try afforded. After he had publish
ed a circular, (the one before Us is
not his maiden effOrt) setting forth
his loyalty and devotion to the
South, and was held responsible for
il during the war, when he was
loyalty TO the other side,
he explained the former, we learn,
by stating that he was forced to
take that position, that he was a
fraid of Confederate soldiers. This
excuse, if true is as contemplate as
it is insulting. When the war be-
gan, Mr.. Thomas, instead Of going
with the majority, according to his
Democratic faith-iBstead OF going
with his State and sectiOn-iRstead
of remaining quiet and peaceful
when his State, county, aud friends
were arrayed against him, felt it
his duty to become an active parti-
zan against Us, and was compelled
TO flee from his natural friends and
live and take sides with the Yam
kees-the enemies of the South
He deserted US in the hour of our
danger and our trouble and took an
active part in sympathy with our
foes, who were d4iiy insulting, rob
bing, numbering, burning and pill
aging the people of his county and
State.
Great Heaven! He should have
felt kindly for tie poor rebel at Per-
ryVille and elseW here. Remorse
should have lashed him from pris-
0n to prison until his purse became
empty, and then, like good Sauna
,itan he should have played the
nurse the rest Of his natural life
Mr.. Thomas was the friend and

tary Governor, and w. G. Brown
