The Cambria freeman. [volume] (Ebensburg, Pa.) 1867-1938, 1872-08-30
BucHote.o at Lancaster.

u
We give our readers this week the bene-
fit of the able, dignified and unanswerable
speech delivered by CHARLES r. BUcKA-
LEW at Lancaster, ON TUESDAY, the goth
instant. We trust it viii be read and care
fully considered. a copy of this mastery
address ought to be placed in the hands of
every voter in the State, in order that they
NAV learn how plain tale can put sian
der down. Mr.. BUCKALEw's speech, in
tcrestinC and instructive rs it is through
out. is mainly intended as a reply to Ger
tain false. scandaloUs and malicious charges
made against him by RUSSELL ERRETT,
Chairman OF the Radical State Committee,
in an address which he published to his
party in this State a few days before Mr.
BUCKALRw's speech was delivered in reply
to his base and uufounded charges. In
that address RUSSELL ERRETT dishonored
himself and falsified the record of the pro
ceedings of the United States Senate, by
making the following lying and villainous
accusation against Mr.. BUCKALEw's course
as a member of the Senate fom Pemsyl-
vania
"Buckalew's record while in the United
States Senate proves him TO have been dis
loyal TnSn, the companion and counsellor
not merely of traitors. but OF incendiarit.s
and murderers who plotted with him at Nj
agara to burn anil destroy the cities OF his
own State, no matter at wha; cost to the
helpless aud def -ncelrsa. HolcOmb's letter
in conjunction with Thomson's, aud his own
senatorial record, fully prove this. Charge
il home on him, and give his defenders no
rest from attack.
As we said before, it is to this low and
partisan attack that Mir. BUCKALRw par
ticularly directed the attention of his Ian
caster audience. How well and how conclu-
sively he dispoSes Of ERRBTT and his libel
lOus charges, we viii leave our readers to
judge for themsely yes. Mr. BUcKALEv in
rcpelling and completely demolishing Rus
SELL ERKETT's falsehOods does not speak
at random, orwithout authority, but proves
the truth Of his allegations from the C22g-
gresSsiOlaGE G&Ob", which contains the official
proceedings of Congress. OF course Err
RETT viii not retract any OF his foul accu-
sations against Mr.. Bu7KALEw, nor will
the Radical papers publish his speech, but
an intelligent and truth-loving people viii
do fun and ample justice between CHARLES
r. BUCKALEw, an honest, pure and un-
right man, and his wantou sl;irdercr and
traducer, RUSSELL ERRETT, the poor crea-
ture Of SINoN CAMERON Eho does the dirty
work Of his corrupt master in this State in
the present campaign.
The Lancaster E.rprGss, a leading Rcpub-
ican parer, but which is opposed to the
election q HARTRANFT and ALIEN, the
ring candidates, thus refers to Mr. BCCEA-
LEWIS rpcech and TO his opponent, JOIN
T. HAETR4~FT:
eve Yield Inl;ch Of or space to-,lav to q
full report of the srcech made by AIr Buck
alcw last evening in Fulton Hall. to which
we invite the attention Of every citizen who
desires to have 4 clear understanding of the
issues raised in the pending State canvass.
1t Will be seen that hr. Buckalew fully
meets the charges which ha sc been preferred
against him by the Chairman Of the Repub-
hcan State Committee, aud 10y the Ring or
ganS, and he docs II by p direct appeal to the
official record in which his speech ia in
StronE contrast with the unsupported asser-
tionS of his assailants.
1T would no doubt please the friends Of
the Ring candidates. If Gen. HartTanft would
come to Lancaster and deliver q public speech
in reply to this one hv Mr. Buckalew. The
General fell considerably III the eStimetiOu
of his friends by his attempt 1t specch-mal-
ing in accepting the Harrisburg nomination
and hc ought to avail himself OF so good an
opportunity 10 retrieve his reputation in that
line. We engage, if he viii do so, at an
early day, 10 giva him as full n hearing as
we have given Mr.. Buckalew, by printing
his speech in full, just as delivered"
