object is TO advance your party
interests then there is little hope.
But, on the other hand, If you have
the courage to break tho party chains
that have held you slave-bound for
the last ten years, all will be well with
you and your country.
There are two political parties that
are asking to-day your support. The
one comes TO you in a spirit of revenge,
appealing to all the brutal passions Of
the human heart, stirring up feeling
Of hatred and malice among thcir
countrymcn, constantly recurring to
scenes Of blood and murder, asking
you to make broader and deeper the
bloody chasm of war between you
and your fcllow-citizens. God knows
it has been made broad enough, and
deep enough, and red enough, with
fraternal blood to satisfy the most
depraved Of human hearts. And
through these base means they ask
you to perpetuatc their power.
The other party como to you in a
quite different spirit. They como to
you in spirit of love and chari-
ity in a spirit of peace and good
will toward fellow citizens of every
section of the country, and appealing
not to your brute passions, but to the
higher and nobler feelings of the
human heart, asking you to bury
forever out of sigh. the bloody chasu
that has been kept open too long.
Now, my fellow citizens the day il
almost at hand when you are 4
decide upon these great questions
The first contest will be in Pennsyl
vania, in which the political destiny
of your State for the next three year
ID to be decided. eng
Hirtranft represents and is th'
standard-bearer of the party advocat
ing all the evils mentioned. i9lm3n
Charles r. Buckalew is the stand
ard bearer of the other party, whit
arc advocating quito different things
and II you enter into this contest fire
from the trammels Of party, justic
will assert It's rights.

"a RING BOOMERANG


The Philadelphia Press of the 10th
says; Yesterday Treasurer Mackey
was permitted to he heard in defence
of himself and the Camerons in the
columns Of the Press. To-day We
make room for another document
which has been put forth in behalf Of
the Harrisburg Ring. This is com
munication signed by Messrs. Edwin
NJ. Lewis and W. l.. Schaffer of this
city, and purporting to give the re-
suits of an examination of "tho cash
account of the Treasury Department.
and certain specified bonds Of the
Sinking Fund Department. Such ex-
animation, it appears, was made in
compliance with letter addressed by
r. W. Mackey TO +. NJ. Lewis, Esq,
under date OF June 20, wherein he
wrote: "On Monday last long com.
munication appeared in the Press Of
your city, making very serious charges
against the management Of the Treas
ury Of the State, and alleging, among g
other things, that the securities be-
longing to the Sinking Fund Of the
State were being used for the benefit
of individuals, and that an examina'
tion would prove that there was u
large deficiency of the public funds"
Mr.. Lewis was therefore asked, 10
connection with three other bankers,
to meet Mackey in Harrisburg "to
examine the affairs o. the Treasury Of
tho Sinking Fund" We propose now
to show, first, that Mr.. Mackey has
not only evadcd the main points at is
sue, but falsely stated the charges
made by correspondent Of tho Press,
and, second, that the communication of
Messrs. Lcwis and Schaffer in nowise
weakens tho case against the Ring,
but on the contrary sustains directly
and by implication some Of the princi-
pal charges against them.
Ordinary thieves will always lie ia
conceal their guilt. Extraordinary
official rogues and swindlcrs are
equally ready to deny their malversa-
tons. Indeed, we have never for one
moment expected the leading NOM
bers of the Harrisburg cabal to come
forward aud confess. But we did
suppose they were too crafty 10 make
so weak and clumsy defence.
But TO tho work. The communica.
tion in tho Press referred to by Mack.
ey in the above note did not charge
chat the securities belonging to the
Sinking Fund of the State were being
used for the benefit Of individuals, and
that an examination would prove that
there was large deficiency of the
public funds" No such statement
was made. 1t was charged, however
in that communication, that the pub
lic money for which the Treasurer il
responsible is deposited in certain ia
vorite banks, large portion of !,
being left with certain banks at Har
risburg, Mifllinburg, Northumberland
Lewisburg, Lancaster, &c., which are
either owned in whole or in part By
some Of the Camerons, or controlled
by them that these Cameron bank
had at that time deposits of such mon
ey, aggrcgaung hslf a million Of dol
lars, which was need in shaving
and other speculations that the Cam
erons therefore rcaped an immens,
profit from owning the State Treas
urer, and that they desired 70 contro

bonored name and flag, it has created
widespread, indeed, almost universal
distrust Of authority, and made honest
men despair ofiutegrity in legislation,

of public justice.
These terrible and steadily growing
evils in our political rule have made

"Shirc-Towue.s.

A gentleman from Madison county
told us that Mr.. Burnam, the Radical
candidate for Congress against Judge
Durham, told him the other day that he
did not intend to address the people Of
the district outside Of the ''shire-towns. l."
DO you hear that--ye who dwell in
country localities, remote from your
"shire-townsl" Does Mr.. Burnam think
the county people unworthy Of being
addressed by denizcn from "shire-
town." One would really suppose so,
from the declaration made by the gem
tlcman who seeks the suffrage of the
people, regardless Of whether they live
in humble cottages among the wales and
mountains of the district; or, like him
self, in a lordly mansion Of "shire-
town" Come Mr.. Bprnam--come down
from your lofty eycrie and mingle with
all Of US, whether We dress in purple and
fine linen, or in butternut and grey home
spun. Leave the "shire-towns" to take
care Of themselves, and go out into the
highways and hedges, and tell the people
who and what you are.

THE RADICAL NOMINEE.

Mr.. G. +. Burnan, the nominee of the
Ra1.eals for Congress in this District, is
eaid to be very nice sort eff man. {.
iiEsseheja,,-xsslfby bat does not enjoy
good baalth. As lawyer, he stands
among the first in his vicinity, as a politi-
clan, he has never achieved success, and
as a stump orator, he will be no match
for our standard bearer, Judge Durham.
His defeat is foregone conclusion. and
il does seem TO us that the Radical party
made great mistake in giving him the
nomination. Why? Because there
were others in their ranks who could and
would have made q much more vigorous
and effective campaign, and who are bet
ter fitted, in point of health, oratory, and
popularity to do service for their sinking
cause. Mr.. Curtis +. Burnam is an ar
istocrat by birth, education, and prac-
tice. He is not suited to meet the peo-
pie at the hastings and upon a social
plane. lie is reserved, cold, callous.
Such a man is not the one to win con-
verts to any cause, or press men by the
power of his popularity, into the camp
of his party, or inspire them with en-
thusiasm to fight under his banner.
w. o. Bradley, Esq, one of his OPP
ponents for the nomination, is different
man. 1t is claimed too, that young
Bradley was badly treated at the cGnven,,
ton, aud that he was really the strongest
man in il. OF this we know but little,
however, but we do know that VIII
Bradley would have made a much better
race than Mr.. Burnam. As an orator
he has few equals in the State of his age,
and as a slumpspeaker he is calculated
to win the applause of his friends,
while even his opponents do not fail to
accord him praise. For our part, we
are in favor Of young men sho show
themselves worthy and well qualified
IN opposition to those old party fossils
who think all wisdom is centered in
and who think young men
are only fit to vote get NJ barbecues and
mise flags.
