THE Democrat asks US whether wc class
Mr. Nastine as one of the "COurt House
Ring" AS the Democrat has heretofore
denied the existence Of Court House
Ring, we feel Indebted to the editor for his
admission of this fact, and we will here
state that Mr.. Vastine has never been sus-
pected Of any connection with that corrupt
organization. Nor is Mr.. Nastine con-
suited by the Democratic Commissioners
of the Ring. Mr.. Vastine being in the
minority in the board he is powerless, and
we know too that much of the business IN
that office is transacted without his know
ledge or consent, and for this reason the
Democrat, we presume, objects TO a change
in the board. Let the voters elect another
Republican Commissioner, and we will
guarantee that there will be great falling
off in the taxes. If n Democrat is elected
we cannot effect any improvement in that
office. The change certainly could not be
any worse than at present, and rs our De-
mocratic friends have paid dearly for the
whistle so far, they will no doubt believe
that a change must prove beneficial.

From tie Scranton (DAily) Republican.
An Open Letter &. IL. BuckaIew,

T.
Sept. 80, 1872.
Honorable Charles II. Buckalew:
SIR In your celebrated (p) speech at
Pittsburg ON the 9TH inst, you attempt to
explain away the existence Of the Fishing
Creek Conicdcracy," and by the worst kind
OF special pleading, intersperSed with innu-
merable and atrOciOus talschOOds, you at
tempt to prove that no rebellion against the
authority of the United States occurred in
your own (Columbia) county during the
war. You also make n tremendous effort
to convey to the voters of Pennsylvania the
impression that you knew nothing of the
doings in your county at that time, and
bad no sympathy whatever with them.
on state IN that remarkable speech, as
follows:
1T is true that two or three of the arrest,
ed were convicted by military commission
before full trial was had mainly upoa the
evidence Of a qortrnment iRfOrmer phoSe cred
IL ,cds Gfterwa'ds thoroughly iDpeached and
his irhOie testimony contrddicted and Orer-
hIOocn lie was himself draft sneak, dis
charged from all responsibility, aud made
witness under pay at the instance OF Col.
Albright, &c" You are thus mean en-
ough to stigmatize me and my testimony
as above, although the records of the trials
prove that l was fully corroborated by
many witnesses. You also, at the time of
these trials, made written statement which
you sent to President Lincoln, in which
you used the following words in regard to
myself: 1.-The records of the trials OF Rantz
and Kline iof which l have particular
knowledge) TEEN with falsehoods. The
main witness against them was one Ei,odrd
McHenrg, Of Infamous character, who had
skulkod the draft To eScane Dunishment

Hon. JOHN Il. PACKER.--It is no doubt
very gratifying to both Republicans and
Democrats to vote on Tuesday next, in fi,-
vor Of the Hon. j. b. Packer, the favorite
e. son of Northumberland couuty-thc friend
of the laboring classcs-the laborcr, me-
chanic, and the farmer who produces the
staff of life-for third term as representa-
tive in our national councils. While it is
n high compliment to Mr.. Packer that his
fellow citizens prefer him as n public SER
want for another Congressional term, aE.
ter serving them for two successive terms,
it is no less a compliment to the voters
that he has consented to serve them again.
In this county, at least, he should receive
ering the benefit he has been to its people,
There is not an improvement in the coun-
{ ty for which the public is not in measure
indebted to him. Early in life lie was
identified with public improvements, and
was one of the first men in the county who
labored day and night to establish the first
railroad in the county--the road from
which eminated all other improvements.
Being lifelong advocate of protective
policy, his influence was brought to hear
upon the capitalists Of the country, and by
his exertions assisted the development of
the concealed wealth of our mountains.
The farmer who came to our market with
his small basket hanging TO his arm can
well comprehend what change has been
wrought. There is not farmer in the
county who does not perceive the advan.
tagcs he derives from this great improve
ment. and not one who would exchange
his present position for that Of twenty
years ago. We ask every farmer, mechaI-
ic, laborer and business man-is it not
your duty to give your vote, on Tuesday
next, for the man who has been so true a
friend to your interest. With his acknow-
lodged ability in Congress, and his tried
experience, is it not to the advantage of ev.
. cry Democrat as well as Republican, to
keep him in his present position in which
he is able and willing to further their inter.
ests. While we can depend upon his faith
ful adherence to the protection of all labor
ing classes, we are assured that he has the
confidence and esteem of our most promi
ncnt men, and wields stronger influence
Than any other man in the nth Congres
sional District. This is a subject that ev
cry voter should give his most earnest con
sideration before he casts his vote.

| VoTINa TO DESTROY THEIR VocA-
TIoNs.- Every once in a while we come
across young men who are employed on
railroads and public works who say they
intend to vote the Democratic or free trade
ticket, but they assign no reason for so do
ing. They evidently do not understand
! the free trade system or they would not DO
so blind as to vote against their own inte-
rest. Oar first impression of the working
of the free trade system was made after the
repeal of the tariff of 1912, in our neighbor-
ing town of Danville. All the public
works in that place were stopped, and as
we inquired the cause were told that Eng
land was furnishing the products cheaper
than they could be manufactured here, and
of course the works necessarily had to be
closed, and the men employed had to lay
idle. What would be the result now if the
free trade system were to be established
There arc now thousands of men employ
ed on public works instead Of hundreds
then, and If these were to be thrown out of
employment there would be the greatest
suffering. The election on Tuesday will
decide the question ? All know that Mr..
Buckalew is rank free trader, and is run
in the interest of English capitalists. If
Buckalew is elected those who vote for him
cannot lay the blame on any one else but
themselves, if he, through his influence will
cause the passP &c of a free trade act. There
are many Democrats who are favorable to
a protective tariff, yet by their votes they
destroy their own interests. If tie capital
lists in this country who are carrying on
business, and employing probably thou
sands of hands, are compelled to close their
business for the want of liberal prices to
compete with the pauper labor of Europe,
then many will regret the step they are
now taking against the interests Of business
men who will be compelled to discharge
their employees, leaving them and their
families in distress. The principle of free
trade was well illustrated by an Irishman
in the upper part of the county, who in
tends voting The Republican ticket. lie
was asked his reason for so doing, when
he replied that he voted for James Bucha-
nan, and during his administration he had
employment but half the time at very low
wages. But since the Republican party
had come into power he had work all the
time, and at liberal wages, and that he did
not desire q change. There are many 9TH
ers who had similar experience, and who
will vote the whole Republican ticket from
President down. The question is plain
one to every employee. Will you vote to
destroy the business which gives you en-
ployment at liberal wages ? Ifso, vote for
Greeley, Brown and Buckalcw. If desira-
BILE to keep employed and let the country
continue in prosperous condition, then
vote for Grant, Wilson and IIartranft, who
arc known to be the stcadfast friends of
the laboring classes, and give them protec-
yiou

THE Democrat of last week tries to de.
ny that Mr.. Armstrong was connected
with the Order of Know Knothings.
Every one who remembers the campaign
of 1855, knows that the Rev. Mr..
Fisher was the independent candidate
for Register and Recorder, and that
q. Boyd Pursel was the regularly nominal.
ed Democratic candidate, and Mr. Arm
strong was the nominee of the Know. Moth
ing party. Had Rev. Mr.. Fisher been
connected with that Order, he would un-
doubtedly have been elected. The fact is,
Mr.. Armstrong being their candidate, de-
feated Rev. Mr.. Fisher, and elected Mr..
Pursel. Tho editor of the Democrat not
having beena resident of the county at
that time, is .xcusable for the blundor.
IT is well known in Mr.. Armstrong;
neighborhood that he was connected with
the Order of Know Knothines, and as the
lowing oath was taken by all who were
connected with that order, Mr.. Armstrong
is still bound ly it.
"OATH. "-in the presence of the true
and everything God, and on these sacred
Scriptures, Ills Holy Word, do declare
that l will truly fulfill all my obligations
toward my brdhern of the Order of Know
Nothings, andthat l will keep sacred all
the signs, tokeis, pass and degree words,
emblems and proceedings of said Order \
n And l further declare and solemnly
swear that will not knowingly vote for
appoint, or ehct any person of foreign
birth, or Roman Catholic, TO any Office in
the local or ge;eral administration of the
American Government and | further de-
clare and swear that l will use all the
means in my power to counteract and de-
stroy the influence Of Foreigners and Ro-
man Catholics in Tie Administration of the
Government of the United States, and in
any and all parts thereof TO all this, a
free and voluntary obligation on my part,
without reservation, pray shat may ey-
er be able to remain true and steadfast, so
help ME God.

THE DE mocrat last week adnts that Mr..
Morgan lacks qualifications ir the office
Of Sheriff, and says that the geat MAORI

said to lack "business qualifications. :" The

tent officers, and the people &c becoming
tired Of paying for the lack of usiness quail
licatlons of some of those wo have occu-
pied the county offices for soie years past.
and if we mistake not will iake change
in that respect, and preventfurther extor-
ton from their pocket booI in the shape

PHILADELPHIA il is said will pdl n very
