The Cambria freeman. [volume] (Ebensburg, Pa.) 1867-1938, 1872-08-16

In 1868 the Radical candidate for Gov
ernor OF North Carolina was elected by a
majority of II, 1876. The reader can deduce
his own nclusions-wefig figure thus: Four
years ago the Radicals had Il, ,641 majority;
it would require again of 4, $50 a year. The
Republican majority for Governor this year
is but 500. If the Democrats have been
able to reduce The majority 600 year for
four years and continue to do so for three
months longer they will carry the State in
November, since, hereafter, every new con-
vert to Greeley will count two against
Grant. Where our Radical friends find
reasons for rejoicing over such a victory
we cannot conceive.

An Honest Republicans OpihiOn
Of HdrtrG,lft and AlLe7i.

| Senator Billingfelt, of Lancaster, whose
the enviable designation of an ''honest
man, " has written letter, in which he gives
| in clear and forcible language his reasons
for declining to be bound to give written
pledge to support the state candidates of
the Republican party. We regret that
we have not room for the whole of the Sem
ator's letter. The following paragraph
selected almost at random, will give an
idea of the entire document, Emanating
from such 4 source, it is, ut this time, when
Cameronian rascality is on the rampage
and ready for any possible deeds of cor
ruption, opportune. Every taxpayer should
give it IN attentive perusal. The Senator
says:
'1t is to me painful task to arraign any
of our state officials before the bar of public
opinion, when | remember that for many
years our personal relations have been of
the most friendly character, and that they
have performed many acts for which they
received credit and deserve praise.
"But, as public officers, it is their imper-
ative duty, at all times, so to deport them
selves that all their official acts may result
in the public good, without regard to pri-
vate or individual interests And herein |
believe both candidates at the head of the
Republican state ticket have failed to meet
the just expectations of the public and
having thus failed, my support, which
would otherwise have been cheerfully given.
must be withheld, and, consequently, my
self deprived of the privilege of receiving
your support at the preliminary elections"

There is not Democrat in Cambria
county who will not eagerly go to the polls
and vote for CHARLES r. BUCkALEw for
Governor. They will do so, because his
whole public life proves him to be a pure
man and an able statesman. If BUcKALEw is
elected, we feel confident he will be,
there ought to be a majority of Democrats
and Liberal Republicans in the Legislature
to uphold and sustain him in the work of
thorough and complete reform in the man.
agement of the State government No
Democrat ought to vote for BUCKALEw
and at the same time cast his ballot for
SAMUEL HENRY. Oil andi water will not
mingle neither can there be any political
affliation or sympathy between CHARLES
*. BUCKALEw and SAMUEL. HENRY, the
Radical candidate for Assembly in this
county. Mr.. HENRY, although a gentle
man in all his personal relations, is to-day
as bitter and vindictive a Radical as this
OF any other county in the State can pro-
duce. Was SAMUEL HENRY ever known
to vote for a Democrat? Let any man ask
him, and his reply viii be that he never did
anu Ihae ho hc'cI VIII. nc Has a pcEIcct
right to vote as he pleases, but he is now
asking Democrats to return him to the
Legislature. OF course he can never be
again elected unless it is done by Democrat
ic votes. This is a self-evident proposition
How can any honest friend of BUcKALEw
vote to put a club in the hands of SAMUEL
HENRY to strike BUcKALEw to the earth
in his honest efforts to redeem the State
from the rule of a mercenary and corrupt
ring Of public thieves and plunderers?
Is that the way for any man who is a
true friend of Mr.. BUcKALEw to nerve and
strengthen his arm? Any Democrat who
will thus vote to stab CHARLES r. BUckA-
LEW under the fifth rib, although he may
think he is acting from honest motives, is
committing the most fatal politicalmistake
Of his whole life. BUcKALEw, unless all
political signs fail, will be elected Cover
nor at the approaching election. The cry
in favor of honesty and reform has gone
up from Maine to Oregon, and the neonIe
are determined that it must and ,5,Uha

If the party could have clearly separated

might have been doubtful in October, but
the Apostle Paul could not be elected Gov

Grant and Cameron were withdrawn, the

would not stem the tide for a moment
Hartranft is neither stronger nor weaker

A PATENT MEDICINE CANDIDATE.-The
Radical candidate for Auditor-General,
Harrison Allen, is, if the Patriot speaks
the truth, the silent partner of a patent
medicine manufacturer in the city of Har-
risburg. The name of the nostrum sold
by this firm is Natures Assistant and
the part of the business to which Harrison
Allen devotes his attention is the forgery
of certificates of cures which were never
effected. He furnishes these from the re-
pository of reckless imagination, and fits
them up to suit every disease to which the
human system is liable. The certificates
profess to come from all parts of the world,
and from people of every class. 1t is esti-
mated that Allen has been cured of over
one hundred different diseases since last
November and yet he is a sallow and sick
ly looking individual. As walking adj
vertisement of Natures Assistant he
would not prove to be success, and so he
confines himself to the manufacture of Ger
tificates.

EX-PREsIDENT JOHNSON ON THE SITUA-
TIoN.-Ex-President Johnson spoke for
two hours and half at Knoxville, Tenn,
on Saturday night last. He said he was
no candidate for office. The Government
had been drifting from constitutional
moorings, and become a plaything of an
irresponsible Congress at the dictation of
an usurping executive. Hereviewed Pres
ident Grants administration with severity,
and discussed official gift taking as
bribery. He favored one term, and the
election of President by direct vote
The reelection of Grant would be national
disaster. He accepted Greeley on the prin-
ciple of universal pressure and circum-
stances beyond human control which has
limited the choice to two men, Patriots
cannot hesitate to choose Greeley 1t is no
time to say this or that is or is not my party,
but let US all unite. In saying this is my
country, the country must have reconcilia-
tion, restoration, civil rights to all citizens,
confidence between sections, and reform of
civil service. He pleaded for the return of
the ancient reverence for the Constitution
and official obligations.

the election of BUcKALEw. He win sus-

redeem the State from the hands of the
corrupt Treasury and CAMERON ring at

SAMUEL HENRY and vote against JOHN
HANNAH if he sincerely desires the election
Of CHARLES r. BUCKALEw?
What is proposed to be accomplished by
the interests of Cambria country are con-
eerned? VIII he attempt to revive and
resurrect the District Court which has very
recently been pronounced to be illegal and
unconstitutional by the Supreme Court of
the State? That decision ought to settle
that issue. Ifthe friends of SAMUEL HENRY
in Johnstown win place him in the position
Of being the advocate of a new county to
be called "COnemaugh," with Johnstown
as its county seat, let them say SO, and then
let them not quarrel with the celebrated
Ebensburg "Ring," but with Somerset,
Westmoreland and Indiana Counties
Whenever that issue is squarely presented
between JOHN HANNAN and SAM'L HENRY,
we win discuss it in aspirit of decency and
candOr, and with view to do full and i'm
partial justice to the North as well as to
the South of the county.

Letter from, Senator Buckale,c.
His Record on the Question of Soldiers BOun.les

I VI SOAoANAS
To the Editor Of the LycoDaing Standard:
SIR The article you send me, cut from
| the Pittsburgh Commercial, is a remarka-
bic specimen of mendacity, euncocted upon
the pretense of reciting my record III Con-
! gresS.
! l take the first item given in the article,
| for illustration
December 22, 1868. On an amendment
to the Deficiency Appropriation bill, 'that no
bountes except such as are now provided by
| law shall be paid to any person enlisting
after the fifth day of january next Mr.,
Buckalew voted nay 80
Upon this the CommerciaI says:
He voted against paying bounties to vol
unteers. He would haze deprived the
soldier of all bounties because he hated the
cause for which they fought, and wanted to
discourage the enlistment of volunteers"
In fact the bill in question was for an
appropriation of twenty millions of dollars
''for the payment of bounties and advanced
pay to soldiers, and / was for it heartily
and voted for its passage. The record
shows that | was present and that the bill
passed unanimously. The amendment men
toned above, against which | voted, was
an amendment to reduce bountieS, or to
prevent the military authorities from pay
ing more than 500 bounty for each soldier
after 9TH of January, 1864, whereas they
were then paying $500 under the Presi-
dents proclamation of 18th October, 1868
The President had called for three hundred
thousand men and had promised this larger
bounty to all who should come into the
| service before the 5th of January following
except veterans re-enlisting, who were to
receive 800. The amendment was simply
to prevent the President from paving. or
engaging to pay, under any circumstances
more than $lOO in future. | was opposed
to this amendment and voted against il.
considering it to be unwise, unjust and
lmpracticable-unwise because it would
discourage the filling of the army and limit
the PresIdentS S discretion in case of emer-
gency UNJUST because it would fix different
rates OF compensation for soldiers of equal
merit and serving for equal terms, and
wholly mpracticable because neither the
spirit of the country nor the manhood of
the soldier would sanction it, NAV add
that 1t was not maintained afterwards. for
the larger bounties were voted and paid.
For instance, the joint resolution of Janu-
ary 10 1864, provided that the LARGER
bountles should continue to be paid from
the 9th of January to the 1st OF March of
that year, and by subsequent legislation,
the ground taken by me in my vote of 22d
of December, was fully assumed and en-
dorsed by Congress.
This false imputation which l have ex
posed, is no more gross and unjust than
many others III the article sent me- but |
have taken it because it stands first in order
among them, and constitutes a fit repre
sentative of the whole.
